"Oh, right. The Magistrate. The Magistrate for Companions. The Magistrate designed specially to stop Companions. Companions' Magistrate. That Magistrate?"
@@ich3730 its more that magistrate used to stop them because before the rules change companions came from exile. now you pay mana to move them to your hand so dranith no longer shuts them down.
@@JoeNokers Yeah, what Emma said. It was both mechanically and narratively flavorful that Dranith Magistrate shut down companions pre-companion nerf. Not it's a flavor-fail lol.
9:10 Woah... Urabrask is a 4/4 and Thalia has first strike. I know the emperor was dead anyway but wow those blocks didn't kill as much as they could have.
Not only that. That are plenty of opportunities to make use of his extra copies of Urabrask. He could've attacked and cast new one to give it "vigilance". It's not like his unused mana is doing anything else. Or he could've killed the 4/4 and just cast a new one (this one is a bit riskier as it locks up future mana). But i think in his mind he just lazily branded those extra Urabrask as dead card and never consider any options for them.
55:30 : the protection does work, right? Not because the damage prevention but because ubarask simply can’t be targeted by red spells, so the stomp would fissle just as if Ubarask would be hexproof. Anyways, I was really surprised by Drannith Magistrate.
Yeah I think it might've been a brainfart, probably thinking of the classic "blocking with a pro-red creature, but the opponent casts Skullcrack" situation
I think not taking shark typhoon with Paulo is a mistake most of the time You can't cycle from exile so turning that card into only eight mana do nothing is way stronger than a lot of the other lines that you had especially against the creativity tokens deck
That's a really good idea! I'll start doing that for the next Explorer decks we play (and probably for Pioneer decks as well, talking about what would need to change to play them in Explorer).
@@RafaelAAMerlo honestly the top decks aren't too different. Putting Tibalts Trickery into the sb (because it's not banned in Pioneer) makes a ton of sense
What WOTC could do after banning trickery would be to create a card in the next year of expansions that is an adjusted version of trickery with flavor appropriate to its expansion's lore.
When an against the odds deck is legit good is when MtG is the best. Stale meta decks are the worst part about MtG, but when a new creation can come in and wreck face that makes me so happy.
A little more protection for the U-daddy might be useful since it over-performed so well. Maybe a sejiri shelter in there somewhere. Would be nice if Trickery was still available too. Maybe an idea for future AtO's would be trying to abuse treasure production for color-intensive spells (like we saw with that bolas-control match).
I feel like Selfless Savior might be the card. I know it's not as good as it used to be due to Portable Hole and March of Otherworldly Light, but not needing mana makes it much better than Eidolon against RBx which I've run into a lot.
I've been brewing around this combo since cappena came out. It started as a mardu hand hate card in historic, turned into more of a boros taxes deck with a little land destruction mixed in.
I wonder how much advantage you get when you brew a new deck people do not know about. Do you generally do a bit better than how the deck performs once more people play it and people are more aware of how to play against it?
Your canceling of the Alseid to protect Urabrask around 55:26 due to your thought of damage no longer being prevented is correct, but wrong; because the pro red call would make it so the spell would fizzle from not being allowed to target the creature anymore.
I'm playing Izzet Prison in standard post rotation, Urabrask + Jin stops them from saving up cards to kill Jin, use it or lose it, but the first instant sorcery or instant you play each turn is countered. Normal red/blue removal for creatures, a few damage based board wipes. But get this - Wash Away, 1 blue - counter target spell that wasn't cast from anywhere but their hand (can play it for 3 mana if it was from their hand to still counter stuff) but having a 1 mana answer to anything after you lock it up - because everything is being cast from exile. Feels completely unfair and I love it. The extra turn card with cleave - doubling that after Jin hits play is usually game over, also you can play it for 3 mana, and at the end of your extra turn Channel a giant metal crab to counter the triggered ability unless you pay 3 (hint - you don't). Sure it's 2 cards and 6 mana for an extra turn, but it beats dying in a pinch.
"We were using Tibalt's Trickery fairly" - honestly, they should just print a 3-mana Red Elemental Blast into a Standard set. Tone the power level down enough that it's only good as a sideboard card against Control, and let it out into the wild.
It makes me kind of sad to see that Tibalt's Trickery was actually a fun design at its core until someone decided that it would target your own spells as well so it could be used as an unfun degenerate combo piece. I really hope someday they reprint the "fixed" version.
I think functional erratas are honestly fine. The rebalanced companions obviously, but there were other erratas like T5feri's +1 and Pridemate and Book of Vile Darkness. Sure practically speaking those erratas didn't change much, but they were certainly functional changes and got people to play them the "right way" without going through hoops.
Yeah, it's a tough topic. My worry is that if Wizards changed their policy and started doing power level erratas we'd see a ton of cards changing all the time (which is one of the reasons I've mostly quit playing Historic - I dislike that staples have different words every few months). If there was a way to only use it in extreme instances it might be okay, I just don't have faith that Wizards wouldn't run wild with it based on what we've seen with Alchemy rebalancings.
@@MTGGoldfish When it comes to errata and other oracle changes, my current pet peeve is that the original wording of Doubling Season style effects would make them completely compatible with the more recent ability to copy permanent spells. But since the wording was changed from "put onto the battlefield" to "create", and the spell copies are technically made on the stack, there's no interaction.
I wonder if it's right to possibly board out magistrates after you show the lock vs a lot of removal. Opponent almost surely sits on a fatal push or whatever, you never give it to them.
Yeah, I think it's tough for Against the Odds, because our main goal is to show off the winning cards, but I think that in general there are probably times where it is correct to board out Magistrate.
I think that only really works if there aren't other things worth killing in the deck, but Thalia, Fable, etc. are all desirable push targets. Maybe board out 1 or 2 since Magistrate only works with Paulo otherwise, but it seems like you want to bank on overloading the Pushes
I wish they had an Alchemy version of Trickery that includes "You don't control" it's such a simple fix that takes it from a stupid combo piece to a reasonable magic card.
This... kind of misses the point? Targeting your own spells is *the point*. It's Transmogrify for spells not a red counter spell, Maro said as much! You don't cast Transmogrify on your opponent's stuff! Trickery was intended by WotC to be a dumb meme combo piece. That's why the random mill is there, to make it harder to combo. The problem is that the card which was intended to be for funny meme decks cause it isn't very good was being played in Bo1 at exceedingly high rates *despite* being terrible because it grinds dailies fast. That's an Arena economy problem, and since they're not fixing the economy they should just have banned it in Bo1 only to patch it.
@@TheNoblestMan I get that was their reasoning. My point is more that their reasoning is stupid. It also broke modern when combined with cascade and, as I recall, did some damage to legacy as well. I understand the idea of their design, but it's a shitty design, even as a combo piece. However, as a true red counterspell, it's a very interesting potential tool. It might not be a great tool, but there's certainly potential.
10:12 I don’t understand why he wouldn’t just swing with urabrask. Yeah it trades for a token, but then just play another of the two in hand rather than doing nothing

tibalt trickery should just be errated to just be able to counter opponent's spells, I know they're not too high on errattas but that's not like they never did it before
Yeah, in general I don't want power-level erratas, but I could probably get behind a one-time exception for Trickery. It would be a sweet card if it couldn't target your opponents things.
@@MTGGoldfish we can always hope for a practical reprint with a nerf when kaldheim rotates out of standard, that would probably the easiest way to do it.
Watching this now, I'm wondering... Why tf can Sheoldred block/kill Urabrask for 1 less mana and have 2 arguably WAY more relevant abilities? Black has absolutely become the boogeyman in Standard/Pioneer/Explorer with how many bombs have been printed for the color.
This feels like a strong shell for Fires of Invention. Not doing busted stuff like Kenrith or anything, but being able to jam fires boardwipe into magistrate Urabrask has felt good to me
@@KynElwynn so don’t play the instant speed spells? Have to cut something for fires anyway and the instant speed stuff isn’t even the best part of the deck
@@KynElwynn sure, but they’re still super strong at sorcery speed if you want to run those, otherwise there are a ton of great sorcery speed removal options (or you just rely on the raw power of fires which is an absurd card)
It is a bug, as far as I can see Arena bugged when both Chandra’s ability and Urabrask’s ability went off together, something weird happened and went from first main phase straight to beginning of the end phase
Great video! I love this. I've used Drannith + Possibility storm to hard lock people, but Urabrask is almost more fun b/c of the unknown remaining cards in hand. Also, this being in Standard(?) is pretty cool.
The pioneer version just runs possibility storm instead of urabrask, right? Like that’s a legit lock - no more spells, can’t break it up. I mean, why not both for redundancy, but then you’re also running 6-8 five mana spells
That Tibalt's Trickery will forever be missing the obvious "your opponent controls" wording that it always should have had will remain a shame until they print an equivalent to that. It would be funny if even then it still ended up being broken though given it's 1Red--might need to be RedRed to be truly "fair".
@@JoeNokers Yeah, by itself, I wouldn't worry about a fixed version much. It's just that at this point don't trust WotC to either ban things that might make it degenerate again, like WAR Teferi, or not print something else that would.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought you had gotten Vince for a coop. But Vince's hair isn't really that grey. He's 18, remember. He's been telling us for the last 5 years.
Urabrask is probably my favorite new!praetor. I will say though that Boros D&T is a little weird to me, especially since Red doesn't really add much to the "Taxes" side of the deck (because most of their "tax" effects want you to be playing Burn or Aggro, because they take the form of "don't do X or I'll hurt you") EDIT: The synergy between Reflection of the Mirror-Breaker and Skyclave Apparition is super sweet.
There are also a handful of cards that have been errata'd in paper, mostly cards that were worded incorrectly / didn't work the way the designers intended (e.g., hostage taker was errata'd to say "another target..." since her effect was originally broken since it could infinitely loop itself and lead to a match draw)
The fact that urabrask's exile ability turns off your opponent's cycling and channel abilities came up a bunch of times. Super cool!
Wait, how does that work sorry. I'm actually pretty good at mtg but for some reason it's not clicking for me??

Oh awesome only 389 rares, I can buy the bundle in the store 100 times for 23,000 and buy the deck!
I am absolutely surprised this deck is good. Smoking mythic. That's got to be one of your more successful against the odds in a while
Ah, MTG!Yata-lock. I like
Sick shirt.
Urabrask is probably my favorite new!praetor. I will say though that Boros D&T is a little weird to me, especially since Red doesn't really add much to the "Taxes" side of the deck (because most of their "tax" effects want you to be playing Burn or Aggro, because they take the form of "don't do X or I'll hurt you")
EDIT: The synergy between Reflection of the Mirror-Breaker and Skyclave Apparition is super sweet.

I dont know why Seth ever thought new urabrask was bad
I feel like selfless savior might be better than alseid
Urabrask + goldfish = like first, then watch the video 😍😍
LSV says: always loot
"We can't rebranded cards not in historic ad alchemy"
Companions: am I a joke to you
There are also a handful of cards that have been errata'd in paper, mostly cards that were worded incorrectly / didn't work the way the designers intended (e.g., hostage taker was errata'd to say "another target..." since her effect was originally broken since it could infinitely loop itself and lead to a match draw)
