I made an attempt at an Izzet Artifact deck, and while it wasn't as good as this one (I've made adjustments to get it a lot closer to this), one card that has impressed me in it that you aren't playing is Diamond Pick-axe. It's cheap, it ramps, it puts Artifacts on the board that happen to be free to sac for the Geardrake, but most of all, it's a great target for Glyph and Case since it makes a beefy Indestructible beat stick. It does unfortunately die to Anoint with Affliction, but so does everything else in the deck aside from Curiosity. It dodges most other removal.
I cooked up a deck at one point that used Karen as a damage multiplier with Rollercrusher Ride. Basically any damage doubler filtered through Karen doubles again. I would drop roller crusher for 1, it would do 2 damage to Karen then 4 to face, then I could shock Karen for 4 and 8 to face. If you have a witchstalker frenzy it is 10 to Karen and 20 to face. Deck was a bit slow but really popped off when it got to big red territory.
Bitter coffee is almost universally viewed as undesirable in the current coffee waves. Italians take it bitter due to historical scarcity and worse supply chains. You roast the coffee way dark and mask any staleness etc. Good coffee roasted medium can taste sweet, as you said.
I have played mtg since 2003 and i must say.. i like your stuff.. damn good going.. I play only historic unfortunately.. would like to see a mythic deck in that category.. :)
Hmmm favourite legendary creature has gotta be Satya aetherflux genius from mh3. Love that dude. Also ash have you ever done a simulacrum deck? Would love to see how you make that card work
Imagine thinking that Pixie or Dimir or literally any high level deck in this standard requires skill. it's not even hating it is what it is. You hit your degenerate value generation or you don't, or you're mono red and the game wraps in 3-4 turns or it doesn't. What takes skill in this format? What precisely? This is the reason the VAST majority of games end in concession, because you know by turn 2 with great accuracy who is going to win. You could make a case this is the worst standard in recent history.
@TheAcad3mic Bro I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, it clearly shows that either you play Bo1 or you have no skill at all if that is your opinion. Dimir and Pixie decks require a lot of decisions, even red decks do. So you are just simply wrong.
@@TheAcad3micI think about this a lot. Like, yeah, a player can be in high Mythic, but what have they actually done to get there? Copy and paste a meta-deck that we’ve all seen a million and a half times? Stacking a deck with full sets of Sheoldred, Bat, GFTT, Cutdown, Dreadwood Knight doesn’t make you good. IMO
I can't blame the content creators though, imagine playing yourself so hard your income is finding ways to make magic seem like something that isn't shit.
The thing with the pixie pile is there IS no skill, so there is no skill issue. Theyre looking at an early grip of Nightmare and bounce abuse or theyre not. Like all good decks in standard its obnoxious and plays itself out. This format is garbage.
I love that you just throw an animated shoe at the opponent. True flavor master
I was typing out the answer of blue Virtue in the comments when I heard you and chat got it! It sounds like a very funny deck to play.

adding that pick-axe on turn 1 works great! glyph the legion and start spamming tokens. add a worldwalker and tokens start falling from the sky.
been thinking about picking up an artifacts deck so this is nice timing. Thanks for the video as always, new lighting looks good 👌

Chat: Fave Legendary *of all time?*
Me: Ooh, easy *Archaeus Sabbath*
Ash: *Braids, Arisen Nightmare*
Me: .....Ash just made me feel Old....
I been playing since 2018 but braids still wins 🥰
dude i wouldve answered sol kanar the swamp king just because of the art or crosis the purger 😅 but it felt like i was ancient so i didnt answer 😅🤣
I treasure every single Izzet deck that shows up!
Any chance you can try out Gruul
Aggro/Gruul Prowess?
playing against artifact decks really makes me wish farewell was standard legal
I have this dream that Temur Artifacts can one day be gas 😌
Hmmm favourite legendary creature has gotta be Satya aetherflux genius from mh3. Love that dude. Also ash have you ever done a simulacrum deck? Would love to see how you make that card work
Pixies only have so many pixies. Cut down, then you have to hope to reanimate against a counter spells
I have been trying to work on Dimur Braids this season, not super successful
how do you check the deck statistics to see win rate??
We call it “Karen’s shoplifting spree”
Anim Pakal is my favorite legendary ❤
Would you ever put chainsaw in this deck?
Anyone know any good resources on sideboarding? I’ve only been playing Bo1 for fun but really want to grind gems to build new decks to try
Hey, nice video.
What about gingerbrute, seems pretty nice with glyph :O
It is usually played with a different artifact archetype, simic cookies
Fair
"I thought Pixie is good against Dimir, but I kept shitting on em"
Bestie, that's a skill thing, you are way too good 😭😭

Copying Screaming Nemesis is devious work. We love to see it 😈
love watching Yvonne and her beautiful Friesland horses on Friesian Horses. follow the herd :)
😮😅
queendom
Imagine denying your viewers the cronch...
Oh no, another deck with bird, nemesis and forge. I'm out.
mfw powerful cards are played in high elo magic 😕😕😕

@@TheAcad3mic lmao did you delete your other comments exposing how you only play the most casual format on arena
I quit playing because of 'go for the throat' & 'cut down' Unless your creature card has a strong ETB effect don't even bother.
That's a weak ass reason.
I'd suggest playing large artifact creatures or simply going wide to make both of the above cards nigh useless

Like all good decks in standard its obnoxious and plays itself out. This format is garbage.
its giving bo1
