As a 'Nought enjoyer, thank you for the video! Great result. Something about the archetype, it really wants to be able to play off basics because going 2 lands -> 3 lands is such a key progression. So trying to make the mana work for a UB spell is kinda awkward. But then the power level on Frog is absolutely there as you show. White gets StP to help with tempo, and Thrull to make Doomsday pilots sad. But the black cards looked absolutely great here. I also wonder about a Death's Shadow build that wants to Reanimate a Nulldrifter - and pretty soon the 'Nought looks like the worst card in the deck - but that's just spitballing.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. The point about basics is interesting and probably rules out a third color. I’m sure Shadow can be incorporated but it’s a different deck then, which is fine :) Scam probably? Reanimate and Nulldrifter is maybe fine, after all annihilator 1 on that body is great and the life loss is relevant with Shadow, but not getting to draw 2 seems like a problem
Yeah that’s an interesting approach. What are obvious inclusions aside from plow and thrull? I suspect we are entering a time where Bowmasters will see less play due to frog taking its place and being good vs it. Could this be the time for Baleful Strix to shine again? Nonbo with thrull tho… hmm
@MartinNielsen_nevilshute I like uro, nulldrifter, nought as the go to guys. Thrull, dress down, and stifle as the combo. I would definitely be playing Nadu, stoneforge, shuko in the deck (easiest reason to play yorion). I like the black splash for frog if you are planning on fueling the new goufs and for awesome removal and thoughtseize. I think there are a lot of ways to build this deck in those colors, but I think it all mashes really well together.
Of course, the more you lean into different colors the more access you gain to other powerful effects as well. You could easily make frog gouf esper or sultai too. Those deck would probably be light on noughts because all it's just an all in body
Hey, sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it. But any consideration for the new Consign to Memory counterspell? Hits triggered abilities and colorless spells, which I feel could be relevant against the artifacts/eldrazi you face? Small tech with replicate lets you pay an extra 1 to get around a counterspell might also be relevant
Yeah that’s definitely a card with relevant text here. I don’t know though. At a cursory glance it competes with Stifle. Consign is significantly better at resolving Dreadnought but significantly worse overall in that it can’t target activated abilities. Could be worth testing :)
I really like this deck, great vid!
Thanks!

i think this deck goes crazy as a yorion darkbant build.

13:07 You could have used Daze to protect your Island even with Bauble in play.
Ah yes, good point! Daze has so many utility applications :)
