First thing I did today was queue up with monored in BO1 standard. Turn 3 killed a selesnya control. Then I turn 4 killed a orzhof bats lifegain after they healed for 6. Basically traumatized two guys who they were safe from mono red. I laughed manically and then stashed back that horrible deck and queued azorius control a couple times to cleanse my soul.
Watching the excruciator player scoop was so frustrating. They probably turored the demon first, then removal, realized they were tapped out and you still had Cottage so their Jace was done and no longer had the combo next turn.
Yeah, I was kinda confused how they messed it up - wasn't sure if they tutored wrong things or what. I think you might be right of what happened, wondered myself about it :)
To be honest, I think I've never lost to Archfiend's passive - when you play it, you need to be sure you can either close game, or force opponent to remove it :) Sometimes you need to delay it a bit
I always say you start card games getting pissed off. Then after years of being pissed off you eventually get used to being perpetually angry at card games and no longer show it.
Depends on the deck. I really wanted the Hylda tap deck and tried to force it and was always pissed off. Instead went to a non jank deck and had a lot of fun.
It's the draw-algorithm that pisses me off. Either I get flooded or I'm mana screwed. There's only one game with balanced draws in 10 games I play. It's stupid and disgusting.
I also made a Bronco & demons deck today as I wanted to check if rooms work with Bronco. Funeral room does 11 damage (3/8) and if you ever cast the 8 mana side to bring everything back, your Fleshgorgers come back as big 7 drops. I also put in a couple of the 4 mana leeches as they can be 11/11, 7/7 or 8/8 for Annex (3/5) I went b/r rather than b/g for hasty Enduring and Rakdos.
Sloth ive got to tell you, you've got to try Dimir Demons! I mean I've played against mono black, orzhov, rakdos and golgari demons but my Dimir Demons deck smokes them all!! I think it is by far the best Bloodletter/ annex/unstoppable Slasher deck. But it's got mockingbirds, silent Hall creepers and the blue enduring creature to draw even more cards! So you can copy the Bloodletter and the unstoppable Slasher with the hall creeper and the mockingbird to do tons of damage or get the combo across. Nothing's better than a flying unstoppable Slasher. Or 3 or 4 blood letters! Not to mention a one mana 6/6 flying demon from the annex token. Then just a ton of removal and you have a bad mo fo of a deck! I made it from platinum all the way to top 900 mythic
That sounds amazing, wp man!:) I played some Dimir demons already (there was a Hidetsugu and Kairi video, not sure if you've seen that one) - and I can confirm deck is pretty fire :) Interesting build though, a lot of ways to copy those key creatures!
Yeah, but they work because of annex, as you can be so card - inefficient, as long as they don't remove your demons :D But yeah, this screams for fun-police to intervene :D
No idea man, 1 of our commenters cracked the code, he might tutor for wrong thing because he expected Jace to survive, which left him without combo. I think he completely messed it up tbh
@@SlothMtgif he's using the exact world champion winner deck then that deck only has 2 Jaces in the mainboard, and one already died. Could be he didn't have another Jace to tutor for.
I don't think I ever said they will :) I think I probably said something that could be confusing like this, but obviously all sweepers are instant, except very special ones :)
Yeah, noticed it too, but green is actually very meaningful here :) Sometimes even 4x of correct card is worth a splash (you can see it in "boros" convoke, that literally splashes full blue colour.. for 4x sirens as epicure replacement - why not right 😂🤷♂️) PS. As bughouse26 mentioned, and cottages are actually insane part of the deck, without them we would lose a LOT of games. Honestly cottages alone are probably worth splash, as cost is so low :)
@@SlothMtg I seen that at the end with the list but when I started typing this up it looked like mono black, with knight, and man land haha. I hear feel that thought, cottages, sharks, and even the others but to a lesser extent come in clutch so many games. On the other hand, ime, the spires ALWAYS get killed before I can proc them haha.
jawbone duelist sloth jaw bone duelist!!!! wearing sheltered by ghosts, ethereal armor while i have a brushlands untapped and shield mage armor and royal treatment in hand!!! 😅 youve gotta try out selesnya enchantments!!! it is fire now
I think it's solid deck now, I probably won't showcase it, as it is pretty simple aggro deck, but it's definitely strong atm :) Especially as you can use this 1 mana enchantment buffer that boros uses too
Yeah, I'm really excited for what new cards will be overall - this will be HUGE for standard. And annex is getting more and more traction, as it deserves!
Domain seems to be pretty popular lately, but it's all in this matchmaker magic in the end :) But with Annexes, you can often outvalue them, and burn before Atraxa gets them going
@@BlobZombie even the non budget version would be like 3 rares outside the lands. If you don’t run analyze the pollen anyway. I think the duals are kind of important in this one because even though you’ve got like 10 ways to tutor a basic land but it gets awkward when you’re trying to make double plays. That’s been my experience with that. The otters have won me games but I’ve also run into straight hosers with GY hate due to the meta having a decent GY style deck presence.
Not sure, don't see too many likes on those bo3 comments!;) If bo1 gets stale, maybe we can try it once and see how it goes, but definitely not in closest future, with new set again around the corner ;)
Main problem with the game is everyone who is competitive plays the same thing. You know what to look for . This deck is great man , but it’s repetitive and honestly just wins . It’s not cool , it’s just a winning standard play as many copies as I can deck .
I love your decklists and your playstyle. The way you talk through your game plan and thinking through the enemy plays... amazing. Love it! If only my draws were anywhere near as balanced as yours. 🥲
"My sacrifices [for manually building this deck] are Rakdos tier!" I literally LOL'd on that one! Thank you for your service Sloth!
🖤❤🦥
We love seeing golgari dominating the ladder. Another great deck and another great video!
Even thought I'm a control player, every time I see Golgari or Mono black as meta top tier deck, I'm like "yeah, it's cool" 🖤💚🦥
His Slothness is back and he is glorious 🙌
❤🦥

Playing azorious to cleanse your soul? Do you also bathe in the sewers? 😂
I played domain three times and called it quits
@@richardalan5064 Yeah ! I have a dimir control with sewers and unholy annex.
@@immunok948 I do love me some surveiling
Well at least we are guaranteed a turn 2 now. Still need to pack a bunch of cheap removal to make it to turns 3&4 lol

I've lost too many games in the past with archfield getting stalled out, but now that it has a bonus job with Annex I may give it another go.
To be honest, I think I've never lost to Archfiend's passive - when you play it, you need to be sure you can either close game, or force opponent to remove it :) Sometimes you need to delay it a bit
I don't know how you are always so jolly. I play mtga and end up extremely pissed off. I guess that's why I watch streamers rather than play.
I always say you start card games getting pissed off. Then after years of being pissed off you eventually get used to being perpetually angry at card games and no longer show it.
@moalboris239 I used to to play magic competitively and it never annoyed me. It's something about Arena specifically.
That’s at least worth contemplating over

This is the deck more or less that shot me to Mythic pretty fast...even when leyline was a thing.
Sounds like good road to Mythic :)
Using the annex with Bronco is a super smart idea.I like that
Indeed, very cool idea, while not gimping build just for the combo (as with shadow of mortality builds)

Thanks Bro, appreciate it!
Golgari day?! In the Slotherhouse!? With no Leyline!!?? Lets get 'em! Go Goosefather!
THE ABSOLUTE LEGENDARY LEYLINE-FREE LEGEND!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yep, it's day of pure hapiness :D Nice to see ya, was worried!❤🦥
@SlothMtg im here every day lol just haven't been making comments. Getting some new lege is in the mix
Really bruh 4 duress? I'm calling a police lmao
GG Omega 🖤
Yeah, but they work because of annex, as you can be so card - inefficient, as long as they don't remove your demons :D But yeah, this screams for fun-police to intervene :D
What was that first control player doing?????
No idea man, 1 of our commenters cracked the code, he might tutor for wrong thing because he expected Jace to survive, which left him without combo. I think he completely messed it up tbh
@@SlothMtgif he's using the exact world champion winner deck then that deck only has 2 Jaces in the mainboard, and one already died. Could be he didn't have another Jace to tutor for.
Sun fall isn't instant speed lol, they can't play it on ur turn
I don't think I ever said they will :) I think I probably said something that could be confusing like this, but obviously all sweepers are instant, except very special ones :)
Wait. Sloth wth is the deck green for outside of knight😅
Glissa, thrillback, cottages, and the sideboard (it's a bo3 list he pulled from mtgo stats)
Yeah, noticed it too, but green is actually very meaningful here :) Sometimes even 4x of correct card is worth a splash (you can see it in "boros" convoke, that literally splashes full blue colour.. for 4x sirens as epicure replacement - why not right 😂🤷♂️)

Good morning.
Morning!:)
9:26 Why do not cast Annex and then you have 5 mana left, if countered? So, you could unlock the 5 mana Chamber already on the field.
I think it's to force the removal *now* instead of later since the guy could've spot removal'd the demon and then 4 free damage.
I clicked the video so fast lol
:D ❤🦥
There's at least 2 different demons coming in foundations, annex will only get better.
Yeah, I'm really excited for what new cards will be overall - this will be HUGE for standard. And annex is getting more and more traction, as it deserves!
You show sparky who’s boss!
Many combos were tested on our poor bot fella, before being showcased on the channel :D
Tried the deck and played domain 3 times in a row…
Domain seems to be pretty popular lately, but it's all in this matchmaker magic in the end :) But with Annexes, you can often outvalue them, and burn before Atraxa gets them going
Hey @Sloth do you have a deck for starters?, Thanks in advance!
What kind of deck do you like to play?
He did a budget Simic Terror deck not long ago, and it's quite effective. It's a lot of fun, too.
@@BlobZombie even the non budget version would be like 3 rares outside the lands. If you don’t run analyze the pollen anyway.

@@l0lan00b3 I'm just using the upgraded Crack the case and it's quite good. but I want to try other decks like tech / control decks. Thanks!
@@BlobZombie Gotcha will try it out, I'm just new here in MTG, since the removal on steam haha. Thanks thou!
Really psyched that Leyline of Resonance is banned. Such a busted card.
I'm so happy man. And I actually see less mono red in my games, at least for now! Can't get better than this :))
RIP Leyline lol
Good ban
Best and the only ban we ever needed. Compared to bankbuster, this one is so more opressive
New meta
Love the ban
True!❤
Can we have some best of 3 Fridays? fingers crossed
Not sure, don't see too many likes on those bo3 comments!;)

It's Golgari Day at The Slotherhouse! Good morning, Goosefather! Looking forward to this one!

Enjoy my friend! Should be as epic as hoped :) Love the annex, and the fact it's finally starting to get recognized as it should!💚🖤🦥
