@@alexmcgregor8658Nah, you're good. I was just making a joke, but I guess that didn't translate all too well. You were very diligent in using the different reminder tokens.
Never understood why upgrades are discussed for a whole video and not shown off against each other! Definitely a welcome video and should be done by every channel that does upgrades. :^)
You guys were right! It was so cool waiting for this upload to see what the morph deck can do! Thank you for doing these videos really appreciate them!
I bought the morph precon as my first ever deck and was feeling pretty disheartened by how many vids and reddit threads are saying it’s bad, but seeing it pop off here really replenished the fire in me for it. Thanks yall!
Just give it a little budget upgrade, $50 should fix all its issues and make it fun to play. Also make sure Kaust is played turn 2 if possible and morph, attack and flip every turn you can, don’t just leave morph cards there as 2/2s it’s a bit pointless most of the time. You wanna flip as many cards as you can for free 😊
One of the coolest things of this is the talk after the round, where you can analyze decks and their strategy. It's a perfect combination of good / fun gameplay and keen analystic observations. Also I love that players that are taken out are still part of the game. A very, very admirable atmosphere. Thank you very much for your uploads.
The text overlays during this episode were on POINT!!! :) Amazing episode Spikes, Thanks for the content! I'd like to imagine Psychosis Crawler was just too deep in their own mind to bother damaging everyone because they were too distracted with their own internal struggles.
I just learned this the hard way the other day! My Deep Clue Sea deck was popping off and I couldnt keep track of everything going on it made my head hurt. I realized I have much to learn
y'all already caught Alex's missed land search. 19:42 How did Maddy play Castle Arvendale, when she already played the plains for turn? I don't think it affected gameplay, considering(at least of now) she has left one plains open. 29:42 Actually Jim would have to take 2 since Gisela reads, "If a source would deal damage to an opponent" it doesn't say it has to be Maddy's source. Therefore, since Talisman of Curiosity deals one damage to Jim, it would be replaced with 2 damage to Jim. So both Alex and Jim would be at one less life than on screen.
This is a great video but I want to call out that I would love to see a set review video again. Hearing what y’all think about the cards in the sets you reviewed inspired so many card choices / decks and i want more.
Only thing I saw was you were missing the ‘disguise’ part. The deck definitely was ‘deadly’ though 😂. Any reason you didn’t flip any face down cards after blocks were declared?
We can't sell anything on the floor of the convention but we can definitely arrange for pickup if you order in advance! Hop on our discord and tag Maddy or shoot us a message on Twitter.
I bought the boros precon tonight and smoked my commander group! I learn so much from wat hing your video's I wish my group would be a little more serious cause I want to be a great player.They don't really pay attention to all triggers and gameplay and it's frustrating maybe one day I'll get to play with you guy's! Much love and appreciation from Chris in Tennessee.
@@akira-qr4qm damn I didn’t know that bro. Fuck I preordered on Amazon. I need to go to my journeys and see if they have it already I don’t wanna wait😂
After years I can say that these precons are legit worth the cracked up price from wotc. But still will be on sale half price at some point. Great games 🎉
On the one hand, glad a deck that hadn't yet performed well got to pop off so absurdly. On the other, feel bad for certain players who didn't get to win in this group of games 😅 Will there be a later follow up with upgrades from MKM? There are, naturally, several cards for each deck that are just such obvious slam dunks.
I thought the same, if you look it up they added the keyword to the card for this set, would have been nice of them to show the image of the updated card.
Some of these decks are definitely not for beginners, particularly Alex’s. The triggers to keep track of, though Jim’s deck had plenty of those as well. Nice upgrades for 10 cards.
Does Otherworldly Gaze count as surveilling since it doesn't say Surveil 3 on the card? 09:48 EDIT: I guess they changed the wording on the card for this set
Ii keep seeing disorder in the courts being played and internally I keep thinking "Why isn't this hitting all the opponents creatures?" and then I remember no one is playing Hinata so it isn't a UW blink all creatures in other decks. @_@
No he doesn’t. He triggers anytime ANY creature gets sent to the graveyard from anywhere outside of the battlefield, and anytime any creature dies. It specifically states ANY creature not only your opponent’s.
@@hatchell18 Au Contraire, if you read closely, he doesn't count himself for death triggers. "Whenever ANOTHER creature dies". He does count himself for all other purposes.
There’s a lot of cards that can remove them or put them on your opponents so they’re not an issue. You can also just blink them and they go away also. They didn’t really “upgrade the deck” very much at all. Didn’t add any ways to remove them or move them around, didn’t upgrade the mana base at all, didn’t even add a dang sol ring😂
That mirko deck is great but you’re right it’s too slow. That’s because you guys didn’t upgrade the mana base at all and it doesn’t even have a sol ring in it😂 swap all the crappy dual lands out with the ones that don’t enter tapped, add some tutors like entomb, buried alive and demonic tutor, some more mana rocks etc and it’ll be wayyyy faster and more efficient.
@@akira-qr4qm Um what bro? It’s not boring or the same? Like obviously you need a better land base and at least a SOL ring bro. Doesn’t matter what the deck is that’s 100 percent important. Not having that is just deliberately making your deck way worse and less consistent. As for the rest I’m not saying to just add all the boring staples. But for this deck specifically, since you WANT shit in the graveyard to reanimate, having at least buried alive and entomb is super important. Being able to search for any creature and put them in the graveyard so you don’t have to hope you surveil or draw them makes the deck run a lot better. Adding a few graveyard tutors won’t make the deck “boring” or the same tf? I made a version of this deck that uses a lot of clones that can enter as copies of anything on the battlefield. So every game the deck feels and plays completely different and unique. It’s based on whatever shit your opponents are playing and it’s fun asf lol. Since they’re all 0/0 until they copy something you can reanimate any of them turn 1 too. I also have the new vein ripper vampire in there, it’s a big/bomb version of blood artist, nightveil sprite which is a really cool dimir vampire, obsessive stitcher for a card/discard engine, soul diviner and fain the broker so you can remove the finality counters, and a few other vamps in there. For spells I went all in on the surveil/reanimate with some good counter spells and a few spot removal spells. Also added in sword of once and future so you can surveil 2 anytime you attack while also getting buffed by plus 2/2. It also lets you play any instant and sorcery spell from the graveyard that’s 2 mana or less. Whip of erebos is a must include, it gives all your creatures lifelink. This deck has literally NO lifegain so it’s fucked if it gets ganged up on. It needs that so it’s an auto include. The deck is pretty unique and super fun. It’s not boring or the same at all just because I added a few graveyard tutors, a friggen sol ring lol, and the good lands to make the deck more consistent/run a lot better.
@@akira-qr4qm playing a reanimation deck and NOT having any tutors that can put shit into your graveyard is just you deliberately making your deck way worse/less efficient. It’s 2-3 cards dude. Every deck needs a sol ring, also for any deck to not be slow they need a better land base. That’s not making the deck the same as everything else and boring, it’s making it efficient and not trash🤦🏻♂️ Going by your logic, that’s like playing a green deck and not putting in a single ramp card like cultivate at all. Then being like I’m not adding any ramp because they’re boring staples, and not everyone wants to play the same boring decks that look the same. You do realize you can have a few of the staple cards without the deck just being the same as everything else right? Don’t be dumb man. It’s a REANIMATION DECK. It needs to be efficient at getting the shit you want in the graveyard. Adding in a couple tutors to help with that doesn’t make it the same as everything else. Upgrading the land base so the deck isn’t slow asf, and so it doesn’t take you 2 turns to play almost every land you put down doesn’t have anything to do with the deck being the same or different. Your comment is so ignorant and dumb bro😂 But by all means make your deck total trash and slow asf just to be 100 percent “different”

Looking good - and yet another sweet game! :)
In hindsight, maybe it was not optimal to let Alex play morphs in green sleeves on a green playmat ...
That’s why it’s the disguise deck
Was there a point where I had a face down permanent where I didn't have it marked with a token? I thought we hit them all?
@@alexmcgregor8658Nah, you're good. I was just making a joke, but I guess that didn't translate all too well. You were very diligent in using the different reminder tokens.
As a colorblind person can confirm they did disappear immediately but also didn’t affect me enjoying the game. Delightful video ❤
Loving the actual play with upgrades approach. Way better than just doing an upgrade show and never seeing them in action!

Jim Played his Commander the First time witohout having Blue Mana 😅
he really did hahaha
Thought I was the only one who saw it
Bruh I was so confused
And then didn't put a counter on it from the 2nd draw trigger.

Im glad for the morph redemtion arc!
Got a mono-green morph deck I've been brewing, and this set, and this precon, have given me lots of fuel to fire off.
How u cast the command if ur green/white/blue
Thank you! i was going crazy
and right before they didn't surveil but he put a counter on anyways...
@@Eldrad235 actually I believe otherworldly gaze did get errata'd to be surveil. Otherwise yeah he played Morska without blue mana lol

Can Kaust not be used after blockers are declared or was it just a personal choice by Alex when to flip stuff?
Personal choice
Jim never disapoints, fking love him!
If I am not mistaken Maddy would have taken damage from syr conrad triggers as gisela is half rounded up 1/2=0.5 which rounds to one?
Gisela prevents half the damage rounded up. So 0.5 rounds up to preventing 1.
29:22 missed syr konrad trigger, and since he does damage thats also modded by gisela
edit And again at 35:42
I did my part :D
Can Maddy's deck do something? We will see on this episode of The Spike Feeders!

9:55 would otherwordly gaze really trigger Aaron’s commander? It is not keyworded as surveil and Mirko looks specifically for surveiling.
I thought the same, if you look it up they added the keyword to the card for this set, would have been nice of them to show the image of the updated card.
It is key worded, everything that "surveilled" was errata'd to actually surveil
At 8:59 , Maddy actually can do the mean stuff, by targeting kaust
32:50 am I missing something with the math here, where is the primal whisperer getting 14 power?
3 face down creatures for +6, +2 from base, +2 from counters, and two +2 from Trail of mystery for +4, so 6+2+2+4 = 14. - Alex

Nice upgrades for 10 cards.
oh they switched the decks around
A rules question if the card (otherwordly gaze) doesnt say surveil Mirko should get the counters?
It was errata'd to have surveil. The printing from the precon has the correct text.
@@Onattamato thanks for the clarification!
the nelly borca deck seems to be much better than the others
CACTUS DICE. CACTUS DICE. CACTUS DICE. CACTUS DICE.

Isn't Gisela half damage rounded up? So syr Conrad would still deal one each time
The amount she prevents is half the damage rounded up, so if you would take 1 damage she prevents 1.
