ILLEGAL SUGGESTION, my dude/dudette! W is ALREADY the most eternally receiving blowyobs from WOTC and is the only color that deals with EVERYTHING ELSE. let us B likers keep our Invoke Despairs for the simple reason that fuckin a$$hole Thalia, Guardian of Thraben exists in the same Stndrd as FAREWELL.

I feel like we're supposed to play all 4 of the dual lands you already have or maybe add a couple pain lands? I understand needing basics for ossification, but I still think the deck will have plenty. Cheers
Michiko isn't well positionned right now, too many removals, you basically need cards that replace themselves on etb or provide several bodies like Teaching. The version that is performing in tournament is more midrange and doesn't run Kami and Michiko, too many exile effect and graveyard hate for kami to shine.
That’s awesome you let us see your setup. You think there would ever be a time you walk us through your stream setup? I’ve been wanting to stream Arena for a long time, and I tried using the mobile app with no commentary for TH-cam, but I wanna see about doing it with a webcam for Twitch or something.

Bo1 player, but sideboards are cool anyway because they are like alternative looks for the deck. Say you are encountering a lot of certain kinds of decks, the side board may have the answer.
@@daytimerocker3808 umm, ok, cuz I totally remember me carrying a deck and a sideboard to play my friends 2 out of 3, years ago when I played paper. Real magic is 60 cards in a deck and you play someone. I don't know when this, "I know what your deck does now, so let me substitute these cards for these ones because my original deck wasn't good enough" crap began.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 sideboarding has been around since the inception of the game and it is the proper way of playing tournament games. The first ever magic sanctioned tournament had sideboarding.
I started doing maybe bored to show what cards I was considering in the builds. Now I'm building sideboards to a) develop it as a skill and b) I'm making content for a new website that wants them for each deck. I'm still playing in bo1 but it's cool to give the option for our traditional players eh
Ok, that makes sense. Was Just curious. Being the old guy here I dont always get what you youngsters are doing. LOL So I ask. For those are curious I am 70.
Generous visitor is x4 in every competitive list pulling results in tournaments, this card is the best one drop of the deck and the manabase is good enough in standard to cast it in turn 1 consistently, there is absolutely no point to play only 3 copies. Kami is poorly positionned right now, too many exile effect and graveyard hate, so just cut him for more ossification and spirited compagnion. Teaching is underrated, it provides several bodies, mill synergy with Heliod and the katilda it finds with the mill just win games, a really effective card for 2 mana investment that doesn't fall to one for one removal.
I've actually made Selesnya Lifegain... Using Angels, Cleric and Botanical Brawler. Also using the hexproof spells. Seems to be doing good at 75% with 30 games played!
@@TheFMLwookiee Why would you run white Sun's twilight in this creature heavy deck without indestructible synergies. This is the kind of decklist that are performing decently in mtg arena because it's completely messy, unexpected and because everything can perform decently on mtg arena, but that would perform poorly at tournaments because it's just not optimized, resilient and coherent.
I got into mtg arena about two months ago and my first deck was your budget rakdos sacrifice deck, your decks are are always fun to watch (and play when I have enough wild cards). I'm BO1 because no way am I playing against the same deck more than once, let alone giving them a chance to sideboard around my deck, take the L and move on bozo.
You got lucky with your matchups. The deck is not that good. Bad, even. You get slaughtered by black for one, the most played deck in standard, as we see in this video. And also mono red aggro (no Mirror Breaker) stomps it.
That second game was nuts. Both down to one!
The restoration of eiganjo is one of my favorite cards, for standard

How do you feel about seal from existence? Too slow or just not a place for it.
I’d recommend the 1cmc white instant that gives Hexproof to counter Invoke along with single target removal and prevent combat damage to creatures

Hexproof doesn't counter invoke because the target is the opponent.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 read Surge of Salvation effects and you might understand how stupid that card is

How do you think this compares with the old deck? Weaver and Michikos are so strong, those are tough drops

BO3 is the real way of playing magic

Curious. I have notice quite a few of your decks with side boards as of late. Are merging towards BO3?
Or he’s taking them from other players/website and leaving the SB intact.

Exact opposite lol, new website I'm making content for wants sideboard guides for each deck.

@@BWMDAD that’s badass you still play mtg. I’m 26 and been playing since freshman year high school
your laugh is the best 😂 also the way you explain everything makes the understanding of play very easy, for beginners especially
Best of one player

Yesss Bo3 ! Thkx so much
Cool.
why not block Thalia instead of Initiate so you can double spell on your turn?
Strictly best of 1 but I don't mind the sideboard, reminds me of when I played irl mtg.
I just started the game, and I have no idea what the hell to do or which deck to start with, lol .
I was doing this before HGG thought it was cool.
I've actually made Selesnya Lifegain... Using Angels, Cleric and Botanical Brawler. Also using the hexproof spells. Seems to be doing good at 75% with 30 games played!

not sure about milling, I see no advantage to milling cards to your gy just for that one card
