I just want to say that I really appreciate the consistent opening to your videos. It's a bit different than other content creators and it provides a slight sense of informality that is relationship building with your audience. Whether it was intentional or accidental, it's effective. Thank you for all the great content.
Playing a fun deck, a segment about not being a jerk, today is a good day lol I love that there are so many options. I love making tiny tweaks to decks for my play style Stupor is such an interesting card to me cause it's so unique compared to more recent cards, and the card is a mix of two different types of discard effects
33:00 wouldn't it be better playing your virus beetle here? they would have discarded the same amount of cards and you would have had one more creature on the battlefield?
Not sure I follow your math. Beetle + Liliana = 2 cards. Prank + Liliana = 3 cards. I'd rather empty their hand as Beetle doesn't really do much at that point as an extra body.
@@PowrDragn my idea was playing beetle then the prank because they still would have discarded 2 of the prank after they already discarded 1 of beetle and after that one more of liliana. am I missing something here? edit: I saw it now you only had 4 mana so my bad🙈
Did you consider invasion of eldraine? The flip creature can really accelerate drain with sheoldred in grindier matchups. Might be too slow for Bo1 though
I build a discard deck once in awhile but you're right I think it's better with Eldraine. I'd swap Ashiok out for Gix Command or cheaper card draw though. A 25th land might also help, especially if you have 3x Lilly and squeeze in a couple Mishra's Man Land.
I'm good with my final build as it is for me. Works solid with no major issues and has decent game against a variety of decks. Likely only possibly soft to the boros tokens type deck, but I'll take that and roll with the rest. Nothing wrong with making changes in your version though. There are several ways to play it. A lot of it will just comes down to what decks you're worried about.
I'm sure there were several things I could've done. None of it mattered. We had full control of that game every which way. Opponent was basically operating on no outs.

Definitely was intentional. Glad to see it working.
Thanks for watching. 🙂
Love the godzilla lands as a huge kaiju fan it's always nice seeing people run those lands
One of the variants I use with any regularity. I'm so bad about that.

It's just strong enough that it could *probably* be reprinted safely, but still be really powerful.
The friendly dragon turns evil... love it! Cheers!
Not sure what this means. Still the same dude over here.
@@PowrDragn Just a reference to discard decks being evil, no reflection on you! Cheers!
@@brianfeeley6140 No worries. I was being equally silly on my end.
I love watching your videos in the morning before work. Awesome chill way to start the day.
Glad I can help get your day off to a good start. :)

@@PowrDragn awesome
Nothing like a little hand hate!
It's good to change things up every once in a while. Keep them on their toes. :)

Considered last time i did something like this and it was one of the first cards cut. Gave it no consideration this time around.

I love mono black, I hate the prices of sheoldred...
I can’t think of a single MTGA content creator with bad manners which to me just goes to show, you won’t be popular without being respectful 😊
There are a couple out there, but they don't have a much of a positive vocal following and tend to have a harder time getting sponsors as well.
@@PowrDragn ah, that makes sense
Wasn't stealing their squee the first game just lethal on the swing instead of trespasser 😂even cooler to kill them with their own card

@@PowrDragnplaying with your food, I see.
Discard is the most annoying strategy
