The Great Foundations Build Off Ep 2: The Builds

- Wizards has brought together eight of your favorite Magic: The Gathering influencers for a Magic competition like no other!
Each of them has been given a full suite of Foundations products, as well as a unique deckbuilding theme for a standard deck that they’ll bring up to Seattle for a fun day of gaming.
In Episode 2, we rejoin our builders to see how they approach their deck themes, and what cards from Foundations they’ll be using! What would you do differently? Which deck would YOU play?
Check in with us on December 20th for the final episode of the Great Foundations Build Off.
I cannot wait for Crim to stomp the competition with Cedric's meta deck. I'm so glad that twist was thrown in. I was rolling my eyes when Cedric was bringing an established Standard deck to a deck building challenge and now he'll get what he deserves for try harding at a casual brewing event
Jimmy wins the internet in this episode, both by swearing literally 5 secs into the video and with his deck theme
I wish he'd tried leaning into the theme and come up with something interdepartmental. I have a Zimone and Dina commander deck as I'm in Biomedical science, where Witherbloom and Quandrix meet. I wanted Jimmy to splash some red with his given colours in the Prismarhold Art History department. Jeskai is pretty good right now, right?
What was Josh's reply? It wasn't quite clear.
@@akshatsinghal5293 " No!, this is official now Jimmy, It's official!"
I know this is an advertisement, but it's the best Magic advert since the days of Bob from Accounting tbh.
At first I didn’t think Crim’s deck was THAT chaotic, but then I heard the card total 😳
Not to question Kathleen's vast knowledge of bands, but if Death, Clutch and The Sword can be band names, surely Stab could be a band name too!? Heck, Sting is a world-renowned artist! :P
Yeah, I imagine Stab is a deathcore band based out of San Clemente who offers a sardonic twist on the genre by infusing it with ska-inspired instrumentation that includes the electric piccolo. They have previously collaborated with another band, Grievous Wound, in a supergroup called Stab Wound, though this was mostly limited to a short run during the mid 2010s.
Making them trade decks is such an evil twist... but I love it.
In terms of power level, Cedric’s deck has such an advantage. Super powerful archetype rn, Unholy Annex alone is just such a cracked card.
I’m sure he was super happy finding out he was playing Crim’s 140 card deck instead 😂😂
thought the same thing; also, Cedric is probably the best player (?)
Everyone building a fun, janky Foundation deck and he builds a top tier meta deck and adds an alibi Foundation card. I'm very happy about the twist at the end. :D
OMG That end! Crim accidentally trolling his opponent with his insane deck lol
While I get not everyone likes other people touching their cards, I find it very refreshing and enlightening watching someone else helm your deck against you. We sometimes do that in our commander pod, assign each players deck a number, roll to see who goes first, then they roll to see which deck they play and so on. Its a great way to get a feel for other deck building styles, expose you to new playstyles or cards youre not familiar with, and sometimes even find interactions you didnt even know your deck had. I recommend the practice to more pods if youre not persnickety about your cards and trust your crew
5:03 that king gizzard 🤟🤟
HELLL YEEAAA
I am enjoying this series!
Dude. Cedric’s deck is going to roll people.
I didn't catch on to the connection until we saw the book-style voice over but someone at Wizards is a Great British Bake Off fan!
Loving this series so far and I can't wait to see them play!
“Diana. It was literally you.” 😂😂😂 Love it!
Not even 10 seconds in, and jimmy is already being jimmy
I am absolutely in love with this video series!!
This is so cool! Can't wait the next episode
4:36 King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Crumbling Castle. I'm with it.
I didn't catch that! That's so cool. I was scanning the frame thinking the album was there but it was actually the background music
I'm loving the Great British Bake-Off style deck summaries!
When they say the deck you build will be played by someone else it remind me about Battle Spirit TCG event that did it, and it was a great tournament 😂
I literally just watched the first episode I’m so stoked for this 🥹
STAB nad GIANT GROWTH sound like bands names !!!
Yeah I was thinking Stab is such a great band name !!! tbf I suppose most card names could be find its niche genre it could be a band name in lol
Stab is 100% a band name
To Kathleens defence. If you can have a legendary guitarist names Slash, you can definitly have a legendary bandmember named Stab. Metal as f...!
WOW! The plot twist at the end. Did not see that coming.
Josh asking CGB to help with a janky deck was wise
😍OMG I'M IN LOVE!
"Sire of Seven Deaths"
and it's not even legenedary, which means I can have more than one!
Extremely delighted the music behind Kathleen's segment was King GIzz. Had to put on my headphones to confirm, but am quite pleased.
Crim over here 5 heading this by building a deck that can't, only to give it to someone else. What a pro gamer move
I need more of this.
Jimmy, iconic intro 😂
Crim had me at "140 cards".
Yall didn’t just play King Gizzard under Kathleen 🤗 I’m so happy as Magic and King Gizzard fan rn.
Okay and Golgari shout out! Kathleen stan 🤘🤘
PREfect. Imperious PREfect. Every time with this!
It really should be that, however in someones infinite wisdom they made it to be PERfect....
the Lorwyn elves have a caste system based on how pretty you are, and the ranks are Faultless, Immaculate, Exquisite, Perfect. It's intentional.
What a twist!
uh... did Cedric fail the assignment? He built a Duskmourne deck. did he even open the product he was sent to use?
I was also perplexed. I thought they had to build from the sealed pool that was sent, which was only Foundations products.
@@Zjivarra Video 1 establishes that they were allowed to use anything in standard, they were just sent free foundations products to use to help out (and promote the product). Most the other builders leaned heavily on foundations either because they felt they should or because their themes werent otherwise well represented. Cedric's theme was very nebulous and very smooth with duskmorne.
Thought the same as well, as a new player to Magic, it would have been nice to be able to build a deck in this case be able to recreate different decks using just the Foundations set, rather than hunting for other cards from other sets. 🤔
@ Thanks! I went and rewatched it. At 1.0x speed this time instead of 2x like I normally would. Clearly missed that at the start of the video the first time I watched it. Feel like the Title of the event being The Great FOUNDATIONS Build Off also didn’t help. lol
@@Zjivarra No worries! It is confusing for sure
Listen if Car Seat Headrest is a bandname any magic card qualifies really :D
so where are the deck lists?? Also I'm a little disappointed as I thought they would only be using Foundation cards, but it would be fun to chase down those cards and make those decks for my use as well. 🤔
GODDAMMIT CEDRIC. That was hilarious.
I'm more curious as to how Voxy will fare with Josh's deck. As well as how the others will fare with someone else's deck.
there’s a band called “stabbing” so I think kathleen can get away with including stab here
I see the Prof, I press like.
Glad to see one of the cohosts came professionally dressed and camera ready. Not a big fan of lounging and t shirt pulling.
And no one is using evolving wilds?.... strange.
OHFUCK
NOT PLAYING THEIR OWN DECKS ?!?!?!?
noooo
Subscribing so prof cam buy a better pair of pants.
Why is everyone playing limited except the demon deck?
The first video states they can use all standard sets. There is only 1 demons in his colors in Foundations so he has to use Duskmourn
Still love the series idea. Still hate the weird bake off - rip off style.
Bruh magic is doomed
Hurry and like my comment before they remove it! The blue hairs are destroying magic and silencing us
@mrguymanjr5777 Crim good. Grognards bad.
