Everyone cracking up with the Sultai Ultimatum steal and here I am laughing like a maniac at the Thought Distortion play against the Aragorn deck where you cleaned their entire hand while you talked how usually these decks have a lot of creature spells, that was perfect comedic timing.
Heist feels like such a mistake from a design perspective. Not discounting the aspect of playing your opponent's spells, the fact you get to see 3 nonland cards and choose one means you're also steadily leaving your opponent with nothing but lands and other unimpactful spells. I don't know, might just be my opinion but I suspect they're going to need to nerf this mechanic in the near future.
I doubt it’s that bad. Card you can get from your opponent’s deck might not suit to yours and sometimes you want lands rather than nonlands you might not even use.
Pretty sure there were already cards with similar effects, but yes, Grenzo feels really busted because it's a repeatable effect and you also get to play the cards for free.
While I do think Grenzo is probably too strong, its also made worse by the fact that so many people just load up on 'generic good stuff' that makes Heist so strong. The better your deck is, the more stuffed it is with just generic good value, the most heist punishes you. The more a deck is based around a theme, the less heist does. Grenzo is too strong since he plays it for 0, so just natural value so long as you get something that advances your game state just for playing him and going forward, but if you were to heist a Scry deck, or an etb token deck, or something like that, its a lot less overwhelming.
This deck is such a blast to play! This might be the first deck that I truly enjoy games against The First Sliver with. They have a lot of fun spells to steal and play for free! :D
Among the theft decks (Etrata, Gonti, etc) I think Grenzo's FREE STUFF is powerful as hell, but I still prefer Jasper because he's funnier. I could steal like 14 useless cards face down and the opponent would scoop just because having a massive temporary hand looks scary.
pulled Grenzo from my free alchemy packs. As soon as i saw it, i came here because i figured "Amy loves crime, im sure she already has a deck around this card". Guess i was right lol
Grenzo may be able to steal a lot of things, but he will not steal Satsuki's spot in my pool of deck lists. I'll find someone else to boot off the island.
Im such a hater, IRL you snag my cards Im always "Thats an awesome card, using it with that artifact you got is going to be devastating lol" I smile and play moves on. Online though? I get so unbelievably mad, I need to get better about it. Wonder if its the anonymity.
@@Amazonian I think the attempt to curb online bullying swung too far into un-interactivity.... but wait as I write this I just had a second Ragavan deck in a row, so I kinda understand it, because the words Id have for the second player.... many MANY words..... 😅
It wasnt even the fact that it was my first two games and a second Rag player in a row. It was the roping each turn, Im like "You gotta one drop commander, homebanana, goo000OOOOO"
Not gonna lie, all that "heist" stuff from Alchemy is funny and entertaining as a spectator (kinda like Hearthstone stuff), but I refuse to play against it, it's so toxic and frustrating, it's now in the list of match up I insta give up in the hell queue ^^
"You didn't want me to play Emergent Ultimatum, you shouldn't had put it in your deck" 😄

I also did it sometime and it gives a feeling of great satisfaction! It's game breaking like a River's Rebuke.
10:17 "What do I tutor for ?" ... my soul was screaming OUTRAGEOUS ROBBERY !!!
your recent series of crime videos are the best thing ive seen in years related to MTGA, also, nice outfit, Bandit!
Clicked for the Brawl deck tech, stayed for the leather vest.
this has been an AMAZING video! you got to do so much cool stuff and it's generally just great to see you happy and doing crime!
What we gon' do today, Brain? Same thing we do everyday Pinky, steal other people's Magic cards!
I surprised myself, laughing so much when you stole that ultimatum 😂😂😂
I love when you play crimes decks..just the glee with which you cast your opponents card is amusing. Makes for great content

Heist is absolutely a mistake!

@@ヤシたい焼き right and there so few heist card available that it can't significantly affect the opponent ratio of lands.
Pretty sure there were already cards with similar effects, but yes, Grenzo feels really busted because it's a repeatable effect and you also get to play the cards for free.
It's totally fine, the only real issue is grenzo making it free
Well well well, two crime videos in a row? Lucky day. Also grenzo is so damn fun.
Locus of Rage is so good. I remember running it in my RG eldrazi ramp deck. It was one of my non eldrazi win cons. Man I miss those days.

Holy crap that Jasper Flint art is absolutely gorgeous!! Sending mad love to the artist
50:05 One of teh biggest Oofs I've seen in Mtg xD
I love how she makes Arena look fun, but "free Eldrazi" has too many slots on the Alchemy team's dartboard.
That emergent ultimatum play cracked me up. Turn about is fair play indeed!
This deck is such a blast to play! This might be the first deck that I truly enjoy games against The First Sliver with. They have a lot of fun spells to steal and play for free! :D
It's their fault for playing those spells
My jaw dropped when I saw the dark ritual into thought distortion actually work
Sometimes dreams do come true
I recommend sword of wealth and power to give protection and double up on heist cards like robbery
Ohh nasty
Update: pretty funny playing against Crucias combo and only getting 2 options from heist
Steal the combo! Some versions run a ton of 1 drops

Jasper is an absolute delight
Love the "spree" of crime related content, between the new Alch cards and the new Gonti all being on arena, crime players are eating so good lately
I'm in heaven, I love all of these cards
pulled Grenzo from my free alchemy packs. As soon as i saw it, i came here because i figured "Amy loves crime, im sure she already has a deck around this card". Guess i was right lol
I even revealed the heist mechanic in a video! They know what I like
The Queen of MTG back at it again. You have such good content I had to subscribe 💯 keep it up!
I think I went 23-4 with this before matchmaking had enough of my antics - what a fun deck, now with slightly more fair matchups
Disgusting, but also yeah
I got him in a draft and he won me all three games I played him practically on the spot
Oh My God the thought distortion 😂😂😂 this was a very enjoyable video
@ 50:14 Oh! Dayum!
I HAVE ARRIVED AT THE TEMPLE OF THE AMAZONIAN
BLESS ME AND MY LINEAGE
Do you think Ayara serves her guests Locthwaine’s Corn? 🤔
I would love to see your take on "Oko, the Ringmaster" for Historic!
Imagine people scooping that quickly in paper commander when you steal their best stuff.
Grenzo may be able to steal a lot of things, but he will not steal Satsuki's spot in my pool of deck lists. I'll find someone else to boot off the island.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the playlist you have playing? Its always such a vibe
That's why I hate alchemy. It is broken like hell.
Oh this deck looks like an absolute infuriating nightmare, I can't wait to try it >:)
Please do Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot. The replacement effect is fun to play around with. The red defiler is an all star in the deck.
Amy's been in a bit of a crime spree!
I am the outlaw of Thunder Junction
Looks like crime lost its blue collar
Though distortion ending games is always a laugh.
Where did you get that jacket and the pins? I need that jacket and the pins.
The pins are from a bunch of different places, but I know some were from mtgproshop. The vest I don't know :(
Have you played any timeless? Would be cool to watch some videos on timeless with your enthusiastic attitude
Sort of. I made a little video a while back
Lesson learned today:
Don't put cards in your deck you would lose to.
Im such a hater, IRL you snag my cards Im always "Thats an awesome card, using it with that artifact you got is going to be devastating lol" I smile and play moves on. Online though? I get so unbelievably mad, I need to get better about it. Wonder if its the anonymity.
It's hard to be 'playful' when stealing cards online. In paper, you can get much sillier with it

Another banger of a video! Sleeves are BullSh*t!
Grenzo looks so fun, but I still prefer Bolas
Same
I giggled throughout the video
I'm glad people enjoy me in my normal criminal element
would be amazing with moxfield decklist
That's an awesome leather jacket
Heister? I barely know her
DOOHHH HOHOHOO
Amy, can you do the Tarrasque? thx!
Love the outfit too!
OH YES OH YES
This deck doesn't perform anything like this when I play it. Constant mirror matches.
The secret was playing it on day 0
@@Amazonian Then I failed epically lol
I see crime I click video
that intro is so cringe lol i kinda like it
fuck yea
Such a broken commander, better and cheaper than Etali
