      @@Couldnt_Be_Bothered being on the draw against raga an is just a noxious even with a 1 drop blocker 90% of the time they'll bolt it and then they only need to connect once to pull ahead. The problem is not so much that it's busted it's that there is literally only card that counters it on turn 1 if you're on the draw and it's sword to plowshare. Most people don't want to play against that and that's reason enough to ban it in a casual format

    This means that, mathematically, a mono-red deck with a 30% winrate can in fact go up to a >50% winrate simply by putting Ragavan in the command zone.

      I assume you're just being goofy for a joke, but -- it could be winning those 30% of games off of the same opponents who would salt scoop, so the math doesn't work that way.

    • @Pedropapt
      @Pedropapt 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Not quite, that 20% happens independent of the deck so it includes some matches the mono-red deck would naturally win too. Meaning it's more around 0.8*0.3+0.2=44%. So it doesn't reach 50% but 30% was given as a 'lower bound' so in this case a 38% would be the 'magic' number for >50% win rate (in theory).

    • @Zosh_
      @Zosh_ ปีที่แล้ว +33

      Actually not really since your opponent is less likely to salt scoop. So the win rate would go down.

    • @MrSeanfish
      @MrSeanfish 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The whole mulligan to 0 strategy is only the right decision in a best of 3 game after you’ve already mulliganed a few times. If you’re sure you’re going to lose before the game begins you can safely mulligan to 0 in order to gain as much information about the opponent as possible while concealing your information from them. Then use the information advantage during sideboarding for game 2 and 3

  • @KrikrTriwas
    @KrikrTriwas ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Wouldn't the safer way to play this deck be to dash Ragavan every turn? That way he can dodge a lot of enchantment removal, and your opponent can sometimes swing back in theory and expose themselves to another monkey hit.

    • @chartypeplays2396
      @chartypeplays2396 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      If you waited and hoped that the opponent would swing and leave no blockers, then that would be a lot of time spent waiting just on the off chance that the opponent might make a blunder. I think it made sense to do what he did and just scoop when the opponent plays a blocker. Also yes, that would let you avoid sorcery-speed removal, but playing Ragavan turn one leaves you more mana to cast whatever you exile turn two and onwards.

      If you just flood the deck with removal so monkey can always get in, it's ap retty powerful deck. In that when you remove the first two things people play and keep getting monkey hits they'll often salty scoop.
