I also started after a 2 year hiatus, i crafted first 4 vipers how cool i find the card, but i remembered why i stoped after a few games, aggro everywhere, and playing second agains aggro is a 90% loss. I wish they would add the coin from hearthstone
00:30 there are cards that say lose 1 life or sac a permanent and everyone chooses the 1 life most of the time. they made 3 life, sac a permanent or discard a card, people still choose 3 life most of the time. i believe they're trying to see how much life they would have to make people lose for them to actually pick the sac or discard option
Damit Jim! As soon as I saw that Viper earlier today this is exactly the shell my brain went "Litebulb" to...then an hour later - voila! You have created a video. You're awesome!
Viper is so powerful if they don't have removal, definitely potential here. Not sure how to build around it in standard tho, I have been trying with the 1 mana enchantment discards that stick around etc. also the Spiteful hexmage counts as 2 etc
@@sagemorgillo5313 maybe I missed it, I thought he only sac'd the map token...still got the discover from the glyph hitting the grave but I wasn't sure he had sac'd both
There is a lack of parsable elegance in the world today. An overly zealous search for perfected systems that pushes us to sacrifice something consistently good for something potentially perfect. But then the new thing is abandoned for the next new thing, and on we go, and there is no stability or certainty in the world at large, only that which we can create for ourselves.
Thank you Jim! This set is getting me back into Magic and Viper is my favorite bloomburrow card.

Explorer in a nutshell. Really cool innovative deck vs. Rakdos, Rakdos, and their distant cousin, Rakdos.
If they ban Fable instead of Sorin/Ripper, at least some people will play Orzhov, Dimir or Golgari vamp versions? 😅
@@rdm5687 I played against a fight rigging list with the dinosaur vampire duo along with the Sorin combo.
Actually Amalia combo and azorious control are much harder decks to compete against
You should get the "I'm a Snake, I'm a snakey snake" sound for the board.
The doggy camera is *perfection*

Risk factor was 4 also, people generally took the damage.

This deck aligns perfectly with my play style and I love the Viper even more now.
Love the Explorer Stuff, thx Jim
Cool deck!
Hype to see some explorer content
I was cracking up at the hat thing. It was so random, and they picked some funny-ass hats.
I'm going to try Rottenmouth in Standard in a Golgari Food shell.
Have you tried it in an Orzhov sac deck? Ashlizzle has built an awesome version that I have been using with some success on the ladder
@@redmardamsma7917 that feels strong as well. I assume using things like Novice Inspector to get extra permanents to rush it out?
@@ReyaadawnMTGexactly, and carrot cake and hexmage (I had totally forgotten that card existed)
keep up the great content

Finally EXPLORER
49:47 a literal Thoughtseize Bug
I’ll be honest the real mvp here looked like darksteel citadel lol
thanks for the vid!
I might give this a try out at locals when i acquire these snakes. I haven't seen how this goes yet so i might regret this
I like four better, actually. Cleanly divides into 20
I wonder if you could splash the viper in izzet ensoul the mana is hard though
Shrap blast is just so much more reach
damn, the playmat is sold out :(
Can't you sac the map token AND the glyph enchantment to get two less on viper?
I believe he did do that in the first game
@@sagemorgillo5313 maybe I missed it, I thought he only sac'd the map token...still got the discover from the glyph hitting the grave but I wasn't sure he had sac'd both
over thinking the viper. Think about it. heh.
hi jon
Rottenmouth would've been awesome in anvil 😢
bro made garfield

Huh
@@felizpanda reflection on Jim's observation, that the torment of hailfire like effect should be 3 life, not 4
