I forgot to post this last year, but I want to give a HUGE shoutout to The Sword in the Stone, the shop that ran the event. I played in the tournament last year and it was my first major cedh tournament. I didn’t understand the proxy policy when I signed up and had about 30 mdfc proxies when the max is 10. When we were deck checked, I was given 10 minutes to find 20 cards to replace. The shop owner had a Vilis deck that was extremely similar to my K’riik deck and let me borrow almost every missing card and I went on to actually make top 16 thanks to him. Incredibly gracious of him and I could not be more impressed with a staff overall. While it was my first cedh event, it was not my first time in the competitive card game scene, I had been a competitive YGO player for a decade and never saw anywhere near the level of service I saw from The Sword in the Stone.
Lack of thassa's Oracle in the master of keys list shocks me. I don't think i have seen any list on the master of keys Discord that didn't run Thassa's oracle.
You don’t need it. Both Consult and Thoracle are bad cards when you don’t have the other. Control decks don’t want dead draws. All of the combo pieces I run serve other purposes when I’m not going for the win.
I think this top16 results reflect that adnaus piles are worse now that they lost their 2 best mana cards. one prediction I'm happy I got right is that smothering tithe is much more popular now, which in turn makes cards like steal enchantment much better
I was sure you feature the tournament you did take part in, but there were so many hot top16 that weekend. Post Ban is a very wild time i guess. Hope to see a lot of content to see post ban evolve as fast as possible
tinybones joins up is also part of the intuition line in Master of Keys. you go abdel adrian, animate dead/necromancy, and tinybones joins up. they give you abdel adrian. on your turn escape tinybones joins up targeting everyone, pitch abdel, escape animate dead effect target abdel, win. ideally you just use intuition defensively and make them give you a counterspell though
"Why not have Dawnwaker in the cmpainion zone?" I ask being a Jensen Lurrus player that is sometimes annoyed by the companion restrections. Cool to see the you did well with a deck you enjoy. Also cool to see Kambal and Inalla also did well.
Correct my if I’m wrong, but Agatha’s can’t really work with devoted Druid since the -1/-1 counter would remove the +1/+1 counter and cause that creature to lose the activated ability
In dawnwaker, thoughts on teferi kitten, valley floodcaller helix, faeburrow, marvin, kutzil? been thinking of rebuilding the deck and there is alot of way to take it
NOt sure if it was in the list but chthonian nightmare combos with priest of gix and freebooter. Freebooter or shambling ghast makes a treasures token which triggers marneus
Meta needs more krark-si😈 10-3-3 on the list post bans in 56+ mans. Grixis in general is in such a good spot, specifically the midrange grixis lists. Turbo seemed crazy strong at first, but rog-si is a one trick pony, and pretty easy to hate out early
@@UnhappySalesman Displacer Kitten on field, gix or any level 3 creature with the other in gy. Cast Chthonian nightmare, kitten trigger to flicker gix, create 3 black mana. Activate CN to sac gix, bring back whatever creature. Recast CN for 2 black leaving 1 black floating. Kitten trigger doesn’t matter but you get another one here. CN sac creature for gix, add 3 black, now you’re at 4 black floating. So on and so forth. Each cycle nets you 2 black mana because a cycle requires 4 mana to sustain itself but you’re making 6.
It’s not the most efficient combo considering how many cards it takes but his deck had like 30+ creatures so the extra creature part is free. So really only a 3 card combo. My guess is he chose to run it because it also is infinite ETBs which is one of his win cons and doesn’t require his commander.
Nice to see such a variety, and Master of Keys being represented! It was a pleasure meeting you in Vegas and loved the opportunity to jam a game with you with my MoK deck!
I'm trying to build a variant of dawnwaker as well, and I thougt about cutting derevi and include birthing pod lines. Because with pestermite/deceiver exarch you can chain up to kiki from your thrasios, while still being able to combo off with your emiel + cradle + Deceiver exarch/pestermite. Really like the look of the new meta ngl
Thanks for the kind words on the Kambal list! Loved playing with you as always.
That kambal list is so freaking sick man congratz 🎉 on the top 16
@@CensorOCE Thanks!
I've been trying to make an orzhov deck, so glad to see how well yours placed. It has insane synergy that I didn't expect.
Dude, you prove Orzhov is playable in CEDH

@@ryandeller4220 bit what are the main win cons? Abdel adrian?
@ yes, Abdel and Hullbreaker.
@@ryandeller4220 oh makes sense, thx man
Chthonian Nightmare + Priest of Gix + Orcish Bowmasters = infinite pings. Any one of those (or Sevinnes) + Intuition gives you the loop in play.
that or sorin just to generate infinite black which then you can balista for a billion

Ian! Checkout the top16 for buff town bullies! There’s a Disa Tarmogoyf list in there!!
Would love to see more K'rrik decks out there.
withou crypt and lotus? unlikely
You should check out one of the CEDH tournaments on Oahu.
Finally, some Glint Horn love

Spellseeker is what helps tie the snap cradle witness package, without it you probably wont get that combo off

Speaking of dragon decks what have you thought about Scion of the Ur Dragon? I've seen a handful of post ban lists and they seem interesting.
Priest of Gix + Chthonian Nightmare nets you infinite black mana
How? What’s the other creature?
Cloud of fairies
@ of course thank you!
I don’t see cloud of faeries in this list

How come dawnwaker doesnt run the breach intuition pile? is it because it doesnt really layer with the rest of the deck?
@@Morrals more often the cards are dead in the deck as you need to realistically add a significant amount to make the combo work
Bro called the D-side Meta the clone wars that’s jokes 😂😂
is there any reason that we play bruise tarl over Akiri line slinger?
one ring and sylvan library for grindy games.
Akiri was in my previous variant but has no upside anymore over bruse
Never been so early and it feels so good. Love me some Comedian
So fun to see Winota
Playing no thorricle is fine they can nab one from an opps grave when needed with the reanimation cards
Good breakdown as always. ❤❤❤
Displacer kitten on field, Priest of Gix, any MV 3 or lower creature, and Chthonian nightmare is infinite black mana
No.
Sorry, plus displacer kitten
How are those three supposed to combo together?
