My favorite part about this skit is the Supreme Verdict in the graveyard, yet there are no creatures in any graveyards. Meaning he cast it on an empty board, only to get beat down by a Bloodbraid Elf
It was a next level play
He only has one white source. He never cast that, he discarded it.
@@RaunienTheFirst He has 4 white mana available, 1 each from hallowed fountain and deserted beach, and up to 2 more from mystic gate. That being said, with no creatures in play at any point it was most likely discarded to the K-command. Unless he just really, really wanted to assert dominance.
@@DauntedDais I didn't see those, I thought it was just a pile of islands. Typical blue player smh
Kolaghan's Command has you discard a card.
A good blue player always pretend that they have it. Even when their hand is revealed.
I will always hold a land and specifically keep at least 3 mana open, you know
just 'cus
Lol I love playing a blue deck with little to no counter magic and just laughing while my opponent sweats.
I always mention that I’m leaving 3 blue floating. If I ever tap out I’ll pretend to respond and then hit ‘em with the “oh sorry, I forgot to leave 2 untapped. It resolves”
This is the way
Man. Have i ever played against this exakt player. Many times.
I do like to do something similar with my friends though.
"i attack you for lethal"
"in response i tap for 4 blue and a red."
"...and?"
"Oh, and concede"
My favorite is when I have no cards in hand going into my turn, topdeck a land and then not even play it, just so I have a card to bluff them with. Once had a guy at a prerelease thinking twice about swinging for lethal on me for fear of being hit with some instant speed boogeyman.
@@madhattom891 oh yeah, thats also a classic. I once was flooding out heavily and was playing it off like i had drawn the perfect answer. I was holding three lands and was grinning as they started making their attacks. They hesitated and decided not to attack with their biggest thing, missing lethal.
Next turn, i drew another land.
gone are the days of manaburning yourself to rob the opponent of victory xD
This isnt playing against Control, this is someone salt-roping against you in real life
At the last f2f open in my final round, my UW opponent was hellbent, tapped out, and could literally do nothing but stopped me in every single phase of my turn just to say that he was "thinking". I wonder why we ran out of time...
:o
When my opponent starts thinking over literal nothing, I call for a judge.
always call a judge for this, its called stalling.
@@zackestin1368 whats hilarious is that I was up a game...
People have gotten multi-year suspensions for doing that, definitely call a judge, it's blatant cheating.
This made me want to punch my screen, and the next mono blue player I play against.
Spot on experience yea
Hey, look, the body is mostly made of water. He's just trying to get his daily consumption of it in with constant island contact. Us blue control players just know how to stay hydrated mid game more efficiently. We even sap that moisture from other players at the table. That's why most players facing off against us leave feeling so salty.
But just imagine, four monoblue players in a commander game. Resolving one person's upkeep takes 20 min. And everyone has a full hand.
Suddenly someone casts opt and counter spells start flying and it turns into the fight scene in dining hall during the last harry Potter movie
I misread the end of that first part as everyone has a full hardon... and honestly that tracks. Blue players love this a little too much.
As if blue players would ever be anywhere near as cool as anything in the harry potter movies.
@@LiveLongAndProsperHonestly so if I summon a kraken, and then stick you in a time loop while it eats you, that's way cooler than anything in harry potter
@@Alex-my6me i always have a full hard on when the stack has more than 2 spells on it
Sandbagging lands is my favorite tactic playing Burn. The opponent doesn't need to know that I'm in topdeck mode.
I have a mantra: play control decks fast and aggro decks slow.
As a control player, it's really easy to overthink and second-guess yourself. You want to go with your gut intuition, and so you play faster.
As an aggro player, you want to slow down because you have a _lot_ more to think about than just swinging sideways. You need to be calculating your potential damage, the outs you have, statistics, all that; furthermore, you're setting the tempo of the game. So, be sure to slow down and think through your lines of play
This is what people don`t understand and wonder why the "stupid" aggro player outplayed them for 7 tournaments in a row
I like this mantra
Ah, these are the games that always go to time in tournaments. 'Nice' bluff!🤣
;)
Those newfangled double-faced cards with Islands on one side and Counterspell on the other... OP.
I mean there is Jwari disruption, an mdfc with a land stapled to a force spike
I really hoped the joke was going to be a counter from a zone outside the hand, like Saw It Coming.
that wouldn't be funny but a regular play
When opponent randomly has priority in your main phase
"How it feels to play against blue control"
YOU DON"T!!!
I feel personally attacked.. because sometimes this is too accurate
I have definitely done this (not this obnoxiously obviously) with nothing but a few islands in hand to psych out my friend
This smells like magic the Noah was here
Smells like I was here 2 years ago ;)
Got here from Yugioh videos. Still feels relatable lol. “I’ll stop you there!” 😂 and the constant shuffling in the hand.
;)
And yet the most infuriating part of this was the hand shuffling
FACE REVEAL
I don’t know why this caused so much anguish for me
Hoh boy the way that Arena will stop the game EVERY PHASE if a player has any interrupts
I was in a playgroup for EDH and regularly played a Talrand counter spell tribal deck. After a few matches, the table banned the phrase “In response “, because they were so sick of hearing it right before I nerfed a card they were about to play.
As a jund player, this is giving me a stroke
I couldn't even finish the video because of the card flipping. LEAVE YOUR FUCKIN HAND ALONE PEOPLE. Very accurate video. Here's a like.
Thanks ;)
Only thing that would make this more real is that they only had one option to play something and took 10 minutes to decide.
this is a reason why I want chess clocks on events.
Hell no.
Blue is the worst part of Simic, I agree.
ye as soon as he didn't have anything ready after he declared attackers I knew exactly what was in his hand xD
I like using control decks to teach my friends how to think through the phases better. Especially in commander.
the only thing they are thinking
"how can i lose this fast without scooping so i never have to play against this guy again?"
I love keeping lands in hand and mana open to do something. It messes with my friends. Especially one of them cause he is a super control player and the fact that I “could” counterspell is always on his mind.
This is still better than my one friend who would play blue control decks like he was on speed. You weren't allowed to take the time to think through your turn
Judge, opponent is wasting my time.
I appreciate the consistency of stopping at every possible moment
This is so true it hurts
I was completely ready for the blue player to reveal two copies of Hashep Oasis.
Fuck, almost got me crying over here XD
Right underneath the islands, he has Counterspells. Don't trust him!
I feel attacked and I dont even play blue.
I had a game where I had a Grand Abolisher out, and told this person what it did. They looked through their hand, asked to read it, spent another 30 seconds or so looking through their hand, asked to read it again, and repeated that a few times. 🤦♂
Haha
On your main phase you have priority unless you go to pass the phase without doing anything, or after you cast a spell and go to resolve, so hw can't hold priority at the beginning of your main phase like that
Never laughed so hard in a long time, haha
Help Help! Ive been attacked! I, a blue player, has been represented in this video.... its pretty accurate. Thanks for the vid!
It's almost like online play!
as soon as i saw the thoughtseize i thought blue was holding a grip full of lands
Accurate.
I feel like I'm so ingrained to hold windows open for response that sometimes I'll say, "one sec, thinking", or "resolves" only to look down, realise I have zero lands untapped, no cards in hand, and literally no activated abilities lol
I'm very iterated right now
this is why you don't teach you're friends with anxiety how to play control
More cards flickering WAY WAAAAAAY more cards flickering! You can see sleeve dust when they finish a game from the friction 🤣
How arena be sometimes.
It's called psychological warfare
also need to ramp up that annoying card shuffling sound they get off on that the most
how i play when i have a force of will. *my opponent does literally anything* ill fow that , er nvm ill let that one resolve
Big troll energy
HE IS JUST LIKE ME
Magic players now know what it's like to play Yugioh Master Duel
Smartest blue player in the world
Serious Question:
In a tournament setting, would you be allowed to "take back" tapping a land?
Your opponent can't react to it because it's mana speed and no secret information is revealed, but it IS an action that changes the game state (you now have floating mana).
I'm a novice at mtg but afaik the proper way to cast a spell is that you announce the spell you are casting, THEN pay for it. This way you don't run into the issue of needing to untap a land.
I believe so, because if nothing else changes, no spell is cast or ability activated, you kind of just held priority thinking about doing something but didn't.
Yes you're allowed to take back tapping a land.
@@1Shayz1 Hmm... interesting... I was always taught that you tap for mana before you announce what you're doing, and you can't reverse the tapping of lands. But this was long ago in the days of mana burn! Perhaps it has changed!
@@devononair It is actually something that changed in the rules because of a tournament mishap (possibly a GP) as far as I remember. I think I saw it in a mtggoldfish video not too long ago. Also tapping/adding mana after declaration let's you declare an affinity spell for a lower cost and THEN sac a treasure to help pay for it, for example!
must destroy them before you place an island down.
Mono blue deck has a white planeswalker in the graveyard...why?
Since August 5th, 1993.
Let me guess, he's going to do all those things as well on his turn...
Not at all what it feels like. Cuz they never just have two islands, its always a counterspell, a force of will and a blue card. Also deal with the "stop you theres" with "I'll pass you the stack bud, until then I have priority."
If they see your hand just gaslight them into thinking you have spells.
I believe at this point in competitive play it’d probably be fair to call slowplay
this looks like playing vs trap decks in yugioh
Even on Arena - so annoying!
It was also face reveal!
Electric boogaloo?
Honestly, I'm all for introducing Chess Clocks to MtG - both players get like 15min to play and think and whenever you pass priority (or rather your opponent claims priority), you press the clock and your opponents time is ticking. This way there is no delaying for timeout and overall slow play.
Slow play violation
god I hate people that fiddle with their card like that so much. And I'm a blue player.
I'm a novice but iirc you can't cast spells during the Draw Step, and the active player has priority first going into each main phase, so it was improper sequence for the Blue player to interrupt between drawing the card and declaring main phase, and since Blue has neither priority to put abilities on the stack, or an effect to pay costs for then tapping lands/playing mana abilities is illegal... - Judge!
Both players get priority and can play cards in the draw step ;)
TIL
actually this is more what its like to play on arena
Hahahaha!
When is there gonna be a "How it feels to chew 5 gum" video?
🤣
ha ha ha ha ha but srsly fu( that guy
lmao
Hahahahahahaha
Gotta be honest, these players drive me insane and I myself am a control player. Like you are playing a long game deck, shortcut and play the turns faster so you can actually finish the match.
Lmfao. God I hate blue as a color. Even if some of my commanders use it in EDH.
Super easy not to repeat these experiences in modern though. I just refuse to play against control. 😂 I’d rather sleep.
Its only valid opponent is solitaire, because its nearly as annoying
@@The_Natalist 100% lol
Far too few cards in hand for mono blue. Completely unrealistic.
YOUR FACE
I honestly can’t stand the hand shuffling thing players do. Like if you do that or flick the top of a card on the table when you play it, you ain’t borrowing my decks.
MTG Remy has a great video about card flicking
I sincerely wish we could just have a nice 4 colour game, without that awful blue.
enough to quit the game lol
I hate to admit I'm that dude lol. Indecisive as fuck
I'm that blue player
face reveal?
i call BS. no one pays 3 mana for a counterspell.
I'm in this video and I don't like it.
I think the joke here is that this dude is still playing a Boomer Jund deck
