As a burn liker, I think Boltwave slots in for Skewer the Critics and for some spice have the energy raptor slot in for Riftbolt. I believe this tech makes the deck marginally faster since burn can finally beat the 3 CMC allegations, however Chalice exists. Will need to test it out
With one Hardened Scales out, Mossborn Hydra starts as a 2/2, then becomes a 5/5, 11/11, 23/23. With 2 Scales, the progression is 3/3, 8/8, 18/18, 38/38
Leyline axe + Javier was the first thing I thought of but metalwork colossus is sick! OOH! Spike! Lost Jitte for T2 on the Axe + Fervent line? Double strike would generate 2x counters and with the 3 modes available seems NASTY
I think the borderposts are useful to turn on colossus fast enough, at least based on some other colossus lists I’ve tried. I’ve tinkered with some restore balance cascade lists that also have a colossus package.
I love Metalwork Colossus; last I brewed with it was in a R/B Goblin Engineer build (Along side Trash for Treasure and The Cauldron of Eternity). With Excalibur being released, I wonder if it'll be worth brewing in U/W for Stoneforge Mystic and Anchor to Reality.
I think Mischievous Mystic should be included in the talk about Kellan bringing Faeries back, it's a (human) Wizard that creates a 1/1 Faerie each time you draw your second card for turn. Combining this with some instant speed cantrips and Mishra's Bauble will let you have the chance to trigger it on either/both player's turn. But considering how Emrakul's Messenger, as far as I'm aware of, as seen zero play, Mystic is probably going to be the same. I'm just coping, but I wanna use my Anime art Spellstutter Sprites I bought like 2 years ago, but alas no one wants to play Pauper.
Personally think Sire will become stample. It's got almost everything ive wanted in an eldrazi, its 7 colorless which as a tron player is just, yes. It's staying power with ward, it has reach to block slickshot, guide of souls, frog and Murktide etc. It's got Lifelink to compensate for the 4 ring we all love (till they get banned, rip). It also dodges the ever annoying problem (due to vigilance) with wurmcoil of either attacking or leaving to block and/or people killing the creature battling the wurmcoil to deny lifegain due to trample. It's also an eldrazi so Cavern of souls goes harder.
Spike you should highly consider spending time brewing in standard - there’s a lot of potential there and with 2 RCQ seasons coming people are going to be focused on it more
Don’t forget King of the Pride! I don’t think Arahbo is enough to make cats good especially when energy kinda does the whole thing better (i’d probably rather have guide of souls than Kaheera with ocelot pride).
"So almost all these cards fucking suck but if you're smoking some good shit you could maybe play them...maybe." Also Spike: "I don't want to waste your guys' time" 😂😂😂😂
Core Set 2025 is shaping up to be very nice!
and Core Set 2026 and Core Set 2027 and Core Set 2028 and Core Set 2029 and Core Set 2030
I'm loving Standard Horizons so far. Best set I've seen released. Feels like a love letter to what magic has been, and a goodbye to that era.
Don't forget Hardened scales will increase the double by +1 as well. the Hydra goes from 2->5->11
'Simply Put' counter: 48 times
With love
With peace and love*

20:50 hydra with scales and fetchland would be 2>5>11, whenever you would double you add an extra one too

Enjoy the vid guys. Next one will be how to combo with Spider-Man and spongebob
(Spongebob is a secret lair)
@@davidhower7095 it is for now…..
@@jnor Just say Cloud Strife or Sephiroth instead. Equally silly.

Burn having a replacement for rift bolt might make Amped raptor playable in the archetype

Hydra under Scales goes 2/2 into 5/5 into 11/11 into 23/23 which means it one shots with fetch + any other land drop
Im just happy i can keep playing angels in standard and now with yourhful valkrie
Yaaay slideshow time!! I love those
Kellan letting you play lands is definitely a decent upside compared to Ragavan
Ragavan lets you play lands; what do you think the treasure is?

I'd like to have a talk with whatever Hasbro exec decided magic needed an ugly-ass dog as a new mascot, truly wild how bad Loot's design is
Plushies wont sell themselves now will they, Nerd?
6:10 that guy would be pretty sick with an easy way to give it deathtouch o
What about loot eldrazi? Playing him on turn 2 and spinning into a big threat on turn 3 seems nice.
Crystal barricade might finally be tbe card that breaks elves wide open

Tl; dr: arena of glory
Don’t forget King of the Pride! I don’t think Arahbo is enough to make cats good especially when energy kinda does the whole thing better (i’d probably rather have guide of souls than Kaheera with ocelot pride).
I think you miss the card Bloodthirsty Conqueror
I am a simple man, I see a Spike PowerPoint video I hit like and comment
i think Sire of Seven Deaths should be erratad to have seventh strike for obv flavour reasons
Raise the past is more of a version of living death
its so weird to see a wall at rare for some reason
crystal barricade might be cool in Azorious Affinity sbs.
Plus with two of them on the battlefield they protect each other!
cool vid!
Playable in Burn yes, sadly Burn is not playable, even with a new bolt.
Kiora with tamiyo
Boltwave doesn't target
Kiora makes Legendary tokens… 😢
Loot sucks, Azusa is a lot better and that would be the card in consideration for maybe a split.
Nice
I am so tired of Ward
Why? Isn't it better for the game than both Protection and Hexproof?
hell yeah
Hell yea
@ 1:22 /ämˈniv(ə)rəs/ phonetically it would be pronounced like reading ahm-ni-vor-us
Omni Vorous is funny though, did you consider that?
The art crop on Drake Hatcher is atrocious
should have put annihilate 7 on it smh
That would be fucked for standard.
That sire could be in the deck with that card keyword creatures.
"So almost all these cards fucking suck but if you're smoking some good shit you could maybe play them...maybe."
