00:04good afternoon good evening or good morning depending on where you are in the world
00:08we'd like to present to you june series of magic gathering arena before we start i would like to
00:15thank all the people watching this live on facebook i do appreciate it this does uh encourage
00:20me to put out more videos to help out the beginner players and other tournament players to improve
00:25their game so what i'd like to do first with that said i'd like to check to see what's new
00:33let me check that out what we have is the pack bundle for serial superheroes and we have the
00:41pass bundle and also we have the play bundle you might want to check that out but going back
00:58okay let's continue also what we have is the store to see what's also available
01:06and
01:14i'm gonna go to home
01:19i'm gonna click play we're gonna click on
01:29best out of three ranked standard ranked and arcane air list we're gonna be playing best out of three
01:37and two matches let's go ahead and uh press play there we'll wait to be matched up and if necessary
01:48i'll make a part two to this okay
01:55either either it's going to be short and i find out how they can go around my deck or i'm
02:01going to win
02:02quickly or it's going to take longer and i do a part two
02:11what you can do is look at the tips you have here
02:18what you really want to focus on is what tips actually makes
02:22the the experience better and or what will make you a better player
02:29so i'm going to be matched up i don't think i've played this player before
02:35it says waiting for your opponent your opponent is choosing which player to play
02:39which player will play first
02:43so you have three mana that's one two two and five and keep
02:53let's look at this now
02:57he goes first so what might be better
03:01is i play white for the uh healer's hawk and then two
03:05just in case i need to play pacifism or cooped up
03:13let's play the white the planes
03:19okay rough part to you when you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets a creature plus
03:23put a plus one counter on this creature okay that's potentially quite good
03:32plus two vigilance that's also really good
03:40okay
03:41so
03:55let's swing for one
03:59so he'll take one damage and also gain so even if he
04:03gives me one damage i'll go back to 20
04:06but i'll never go down to one unless of course he does more than one damage
04:11he passes the turn
04:22i'd like to do
04:42i'd like to do
04:44well what did he play
04:50what oh we put hex proof on it nice nice play
04:57no text
05:02yep that's good
05:12yep
05:15nice
05:15nice
05:17now it does give me initial
05:21i pay one to sacrifice it though
05:25sacrifice token target creature control
05:28explores
05:29now this is rotten
05:32yeah this is not going too well so far
05:39let's um
05:41let's let's um oh four or more
05:46that's rotten
05:47um let's play pacifism on
05:51this guy
05:55can we get three
06:14might as well use it while you have it
06:19okay so we've cut we narrow we eliminated one of his attackers two flyers and a three three
06:27his best bet probably is to go in all in with five
06:32so if i block one of the one once he's still the next turn going to do four
06:39nice
06:41see that's for six
06:44not a whole lot i can do about this right now
06:50okay let's get rid of your four for one
06:56not a whole lot i can do at this point
07:03i mean it's a good play but
07:07it's still gonna take four damage regardless
07:10what i need to do is get my five five in or
07:14maybe no play cloud blazer
07:18because i can draw some cards
07:29yeah that was the correct move
07:34still gonna take four anyway
07:37no matter what i do
07:39that's a little rough but we'll gain one life
07:44let's play
07:49this guy
07:52gain two life and draw two cards that's also quite good
07:55no attacks
08:01now if i can survive one more turn and he pumps it i'll play make your move
08:07destroy it
08:10because
08:16let's just block that
08:18i don't want to be taking more damage
08:22so you've got to stack three though that's the only thing
08:34there we go now we've got three against three
08:40let's stack the let's do no attacks
08:47well because he can just take the three and not care
09:02now we got a two two we can slam four
09:09three three three three let's let's do
09:15let's slam for three what is he gonna play
09:18because i'm gonna i'm gonna gain three life on that
09:26the only thing at this point now if he pumps it i'm gonna play make your move
09:32i can block is this serious let's just block the two
09:39and the three that doesn't make sense to just kill it doesn't have death touch does it
09:49it doesn't matter
10:02that's good it's a nice move for sure what do we have make your move
10:10i can't play that's on a four or more
10:15so we have four we have 10 we have 12. we have four five let's swing for two
10:27swing for two
10:37okay it's inevitable because it's gonna block and i'm gonna
10:42i'm still gonna take that uh what no my turn
10:48now when he pumps this i can do that
10:53nope i'm not allowing that thank you i'm not allowing that not today not today man
11:13yep let's do this um
11:20oh that's fortunate
11:25that was very fortunate i had those those cards out
11:35oh
11:38well i guess i'll take it
11:47i suppose he just gave up i don't know whatever
11:55okay what did i get for the win
11:59let's claim that oh 350
12:04mastery
12:09spend orbs on what exactly
12:15what is it for me four mana
12:28blue and a red that's good
12:34three
12:34three
12:37white black
12:40oh one drop where's the one drop
12:46oh wow really
12:50flying trampling cascade cascade when you cast a spell exile cards from the top of your library
12:55until you exile non-long non-land card that costs less you may cast the card without paying its mana
13:02cost
13:02if mana value is less than the spells
13:06put the exile cards on the bottom of your library
13:09okay
13:09ooh ooh
13:11ooh
13:12but for six mana i don't know
13:15it's a big investment to do that
13:28why is this not
13:34should be a one i thought i saw one drop
13:38no it's not one drop
13:42okay it doesn't matter
13:44we're gonna go to uh match two okay
13:48same thing again arcane arrow list
13:53ranked standard ranked that's out of three and we select arcane arrow list and click play
14:00yeah sometimes you just get i mean i think it could have played on but i don't didn't see what
14:04was in his hand either
14:05maybe maybe i was gonna win anyway but
14:09it i think that was a good play swinging with the with that bird
14:14gaining life every turn
14:17so either he's gonna triple block it and kill it
14:20then i really will win when i get those out
14:24or he i'm just gonna get the three mana and just keep building it up
14:28so i could see possibly why he gave up but
14:34it's kind of difficult to save for sure if you don't see what it's in his hand
14:38but generally uh speaking compared to what was played in other words what was actually known or given
14:46then that's what we can work with
15:05okay waiting on your opponent your opponent is choosing which player will play first so he has two choices play
15:11first or
15:13he can draw first depending on your strategy one will be a better i uh plan than the other
15:20normally it's better to play first
15:23especially if you have a one drop and then you put it down and then
15:26has summon sickness so it can't actually
15:30attack until the next turn now i only have one mana so that's not going to go well for me
15:34and it's the wrong as much as i don't like two okay that's better it's two but still
15:43yeah this isn't working out well
15:51i have to wait on what he has let's maul again it one more time
15:55this is really horrible this is really horrible one more time
16:05yeah i'm just gonna i'm gonna give up that one
16:10there's nothing i'm not gonna i'm gonna go down to one won't be anything i can do
16:17that was no no point i mulligan mulligan mulligan down
16:21couldn't get any good drops on that
16:25because each time you have to remove three cards it's possible but
16:35what's gonna happen is either i could be just outright wrong or
16:41again the stupid crap let's just take it
16:45because these one drops and two drops all i need is a blue or white
16:52and it's a good hands but i just need more mana so let's pull this out
16:57so all i need to do is win this and he wins the match
17:00i gave him that only because
17:04one two three four five six seven combat
17:09yeah this is the the bad luck of the draw
17:14see now i've got it i've got eight so i've got to get rid of one of these
17:22this is really bad let's get rid of that one i need white or blue mana come on man
17:34what the heck this is really unusual i can't get anything out at all what is going on
17:49it's got four mana you should be able to bring something out finally get something out to a mana
17:57i cry now alone four turns and plus i played first and i just barely was able to get something
18:04out
18:14that's a good card yep that's probably something it's worth putting in your deck it's a removal
18:24see what that does x cards ooh another nice card he's coming up with nice stuff here
18:33let's uh what is this enchanted yeah this is not good one two three four five six seven i can't
18:42do
18:42anything anyway and might as well just pass the turn because he has four mana of two and the ironic
18:48thing is i went first
18:57nice another good point this is just horrible
19:03real bad bad stuff
19:09this is really stupid
19:17this is really stupid to be honest
19:25sometimes it happens this way might as well how much i can do at this point might as well coop
19:33up
19:34one of them i'm just sitting i mean i'm getting crap from mana i don't know what the heck's going
19:39on
19:41i never had almost never had like this
19:52crying oh wow it's so lame
20:00you gotta do something you can't just wait around for something nice play nice play
20:12see i don't have the mana there's nothing i can do that's the part you can't control
20:18sometimes you just get at all the right cards and sometimes you don't get hardly anything at all
20:24this is a rare game
20:32yeah well guess what i am done
20:37good game good game good game yeah this is just sort of a
20:47that was complete ownage on that one
20:59well that was pretty quick two matches pretty quick wasn't it
21:04let's talk about what we learned from that game so what we learned is
21:08if we can immediately if we can immediately shut down one of them that's going to be pumped
21:16right we'll immediately not take as much damage so we can have a early mitigation on the damage
21:24second of all the other thing is we have to understand that
21:28uh we need a time when uh when when to uh
21:36yeah when when to actually restrain certain care uh creatures for attacking
21:44and also when to destroy them so as as shown in that first match
21:49and the second match it's debatable with the mulligan it might have been better just to
21:55mulligan that two mana and just call it good and got rid of those
22:00you could argue either way about that
22:04it's the argument is well maybe you could have survived it or could could have been a quick match
22:09maybe that could have been better that's maybe yes maybe no it's very speculative
22:15for this the next uh yeah so that's for game one of match two game two of match uh of
22:22match two
22:23yeah so with that one it was just nothing i could do because i wasn't getting mana out
22:29now what i can do actually is i can check my deck to see what's my mana to non-mana
22:34ratio
22:35so i can go click edit deck because i wasn't getting sufficient mana it was like three round
22:42three turns in a row plus i went first and i wasn't getting mana so let's count this up well
22:49you know
22:49what can we can actually click on that and we have 30 33 mana and then we have the the
23:00deck size is
23:01uh creatures down creatures of face 28. see most of our for the mana curve most of it is two
23:09drops
23:10no six which is good five a little bit four so most one and two are are pretty good three
23:19so our our spread is pretty good five is is there just as late game i don't have anything six
23:26i'd rather put it into like one or two and possibly three and and not have the five but it
23:32depends on
23:32what it is so we notice we have 33 mana now if you look at how many total right
23:44so we added it up uh 33 and 12 and 20 and 28 so that's 48 16 93. so we
23:51have 33 out of 93 but non-mana
23:55is 60. so 33 out of uh compared to 60 is better than two to one as in 60 to
24:0333 so that is good just
24:05unlucky you can't really help that you just have to say okay just take your lumps and move on that's
24:11all it is so it was a quick game and uh one of the things you want to do though
24:18here's another tip
24:19of when you build your deck actually i should i should have done this shouldn't have closed this
24:23but that's okay what you can do is look at what you have four of and what you don't have
24:29four of
24:29so besides them the the land right notice the other uncommon let's or otherwise called dual lands
24:37right they can be either one color or the other i have four of each of those for your regular
24:43lands i
24:43have 11 and 10 so we have 11 10 that's 21 25 29 33 right everything else that's the best
24:51of them we
24:52have four each so the only difference is if we look at the actual spread between white and blue
24:59we notice for the two drop we have it's mostly blue and for one drop it's mostly white
25:06okay and then for five it's white and for four drop it's all blue so these are a little bit
25:11unbalanced but
25:13um and then if we look at what the particulars are how many of each um it's good that we
25:20got 20 for
25:21control and the land is definitely good that's that's less than two to one we just 28 so it's a
25:29pretty
25:29good balance overall you're better best off to have more of the instance than the sorcery so that's good
25:34and enchantments it's pretty much i'm not 100 sure but maybe because that's on your own turn so
25:43basically it would be the same as sorcery so that would be 20 and 20 so maybe that's pretty good
25:52um so our curve is pretty good we look at it 28 out of 60 are two drops 12 out
25:59of 60 is one drops 16
26:02out of 6 60 is three drops so we look at the what we have most drops of and see
26:08okay
26:10yeah maybe if we swap that out with 16 with one drops and 12 with three drops that might be
26:16a little
26:16better uh six drops we don't have to worry about so much uh and five probably five and four although
26:25we're only talking about four in between so this isn't this is only a minor improvement between five
26:30and four drops with the five having more than the four so i mean yeah so the five drops having
26:38more
26:38of the five drops and of the four drops so there's eight that's four drops and five uh four that's
26:44so
26:45basically if i want to optimize that i would switch it over but it depends on what i have as
26:49well so
26:50notice here the uh division is 20 creatures versus nine creatures
26:57for certain effects that matters other things that doesn't matter what mostly matters is
27:01your land compared to your non-land so your land is 33 non-land is 60. now also the other
27:11thing you
27:11want to consider is how many of the that you've maxed out like how many of the planes so how
27:19many white
27:19planes versus islands so it's the other thing you can consider with the uh stats so we have 40 total
27:27that's white it's 11 out of 40 and then what was it uh for blue 10 10 out of what
27:36sorry 10 out of
27:4010 out of 36 so this can be this is pretty pretty balanced between white and blue
27:49um yeah lands is 33 and i think it's eight is what oh horus
27:53i think it's eight is worse so that's that's an iffy thing what you mostly want to focus on is
28:03the
28:03land to non-land ratio and then how and then and what majority of the cards are uh what are
28:10drop are
28:11they they one or two drops if they're five that's not good if they're four even still no good you
28:16want
28:16majority of your drops to be one to three preferably one and or two okay the only thing with one
28:24is
28:24you have to understand it's not going to be all that effective with one drop but you can get two
28:29like two good uh you can get good two drops where you have your like uh defensive things where you
28:36know
28:37cooped up and also things in which that they can't attack or block so that's two drops those are quite
28:44good
28:46um so look at your deck see where you can improve maybe if you have something that doesn't go along
28:52maybe you could eliminate that and put something else in maybe your pirate stuff maybe i would take
28:58that out but it just depends on what the card does so if i look in here like hero's hawk
29:03more of the lap
29:04lifing stuff the sailor the pirate but this is a one drop so i would keep that your unsummon cooped
29:12up
29:12notice that's two drop this is a four out of four for legendaries pacifism also two drop so you have
29:20two drop for both though the two drop for both white chart of course also good for drawing cards so
29:28you have that and then we'll see also have blue plenty of blue for also for drawing cards and for
29:37countering i added more countering so this is actually better dazzling angel is good for the
29:43synergy so whenever another creature you control enters gain one life so that's quite good it's
29:48a three job two three but also has flying and it has an ability make your move is a sort
29:54of a mid game
29:55that one's good max it out at four so once he has a creature four or greater we can get
30:02rid of it so
30:03we max it out at four stasis snare stasis snare the only thing with this is it's a three drop
30:09so
30:11but then you can play it at any time uh in the game so it might be worth the three
30:16so it can flash
30:18as you can play at any time okay you can cast a spell with flash you may cast a spell
30:23with flash
30:24anytime you can just as you could cast instant just anytime in the game
30:31when the enchantment enters exile target creature and opponent controls it until this enchantment
30:36leaves the battlefield okay so it's under control during that time it's debatable whether it's worth
30:44three or not but definitely because you can play it at any time that's definitely really good
30:48ideally what you'd like to do is either have flash or instance be most of your stuff
30:53so you can play at any time that would be ideal we notice we do have synergy things like empyrian
30:59eagle
31:00like dazzling angel writer replication is sort of like mid game with four that can also be a game
31:06changer uh lyria dawnbreaker also really strong for a five drop i have four of those flying first strike
31:14and lifelink it's an angel so obviously you can't block the flyer unless you have reach or it's another
31:21flyer first strike it does damage first before the opponent does damage also lifelink damage dealt
31:28by a creature planeswalker spell with lifelink also causing control to gain that much life
31:33and for our also have cloud blazer this is all also very good why because even though it costs three
31:40colors of white and a blue which is somewhat it's expensive it is a flyer which is good but the
31:48important thing about it is that when it enters you gain two life and draw two cards plus flying so
31:55that's basically five five benefits right two life one benefit for each draw two cards another two benefit
32:01plus that the only draw back hits the two two what you can do is just get it all early
32:07to buff everything
32:08up right get that out early so the problem is you have to wait till turn five so that's that's
32:14a plus and
32:15minus um of course your better cards are going to be late game going to be anywhere from four all
32:22the
32:22way to seven mana so you can't really avoid that the other thing is we can look at other mana
32:29can we
32:29find something better than what we have here like for example comes into play tapped well can we do better
32:35than that possibly um what we want to do would be better is actually getting more things that gain
32:43life um so most except for the land most of the stuff you can only have four of it
33:03notice this isn't lit up that means i have more than i can actually use
33:10so this one's good whenever another creature controlled enters you gain one life that's also
33:17very good that's possible to play that um petrify is also quite good if i want to add more uh
33:28defense
33:30i can't attack or block uh
33:36yeah that's possible that's something more could add but i already have something sufficient
33:40i have four on pacifism and then maybe maybe i swap out petrify with pacifism because it also says
33:51can't attack or block so maybe i would take out pacifism and put in petrify maybe
33:59yeah might be what i would do instead because this is a better version but for the same cost
34:07uh pacifism uh pacifism yeah there's pacifism let's get rid of pacifism and put in petrify
34:18yeah so we can basically after each match what you want to do is see where if you lost or
34:24if you
34:25didn't play exactly how you'd like to as in there were some gaps to see it maybe it's because oh
34:31this
34:31is really good that's four damage second block more tab creature you gain three life control
34:36if you have a bat okay so if i'm playing bats that's also good synergy but that's a good card
34:42for sure
34:44that's four damage and gain three life yeah good
34:53this one's good but i found better because you can only get two of those i used to have that
34:59in
34:59deck but i put other things in so notice i i changed that out uh yeah petrify instead of instead
35:09of uh
35:09what did i have
35:18uh where was it
35:22yeah instead of pacifism it does similar except it's the same cost but this one actually prevents them
35:28from activating their abilities
35:32this is also good too for destruction thing is you don't want to make your deck too big where now
35:38it's harder to get your mana out so there is a balance
35:44overseer is good too um i took that out as well because i had this was a three drop and
35:51i'm trying
35:51to focus on one and two drops
35:55because you got to think it's going to take you three rounds to bring this out assuming you have
36:00the mana and then another round to attacks that's four rounds so you have to do the math on that
36:07make your move of course really good
36:10in terms of that mana here so your standard man is this fine uh azorius guild gate i think it's
36:18got
36:18to be something better for mana than that one even if i put more blue if even if it's a
36:26blue doesn't matter
36:29because you have multi if it's blue and white or even blue that's good uh
36:36we have to
36:40wait
36:45yeah i think this is where
36:49i would
36:52so yeah we have healer's hawk for because it has lifelink flying and lifelink for one mana
36:59that's really good
37:02um yeah
37:06what do we have for mana let's just look at white and let's look at white mana
37:15okay white and mana
37:21line enters it deals damage to target opponent that's possible
37:26that's possible because the other one is just interest and play tapped i mean it's like nah
37:31let's take that one out
37:34yeah it doesn't it's like it comes into play tap but doesn't do anything
37:38this is possible lonely aurorio the land interest tap but when the land enters it deals damage to
37:44target opponent that's possible
37:47go far into that
37:55you gotta find things you gotta find the weakest link on things
38:02you know what i'm saying so
38:05it doesn't matter if it's a white green as long as there's white or something else
38:10now preferably white and blue if you're playing a white and blue deck but
38:15this one also is a neutral
38:27these are good these are definitely good
38:33sacrifice this land search your library for basic
38:37yeah problem is you already have a land out and you're sacrificing to put one into play
38:42i don't know it sounds cool but doesn't it's inefficient
38:53when this line enters you gain two life wow really land town instead of one life you're gaining two life
39:08that's curious
39:10that's curious
39:11two life
39:14that's very curious
39:18cabled passage
39:24hmm cable passage is possible
39:27that might be good because but the problem is if you control four or more lands so this would be
39:33late game
39:34so that's iffy
39:36but i like this idea
39:38gaining two life that's that's definitely a candidate for sure
39:42um
39:44yeah
39:46uh green white this is also good gains of life
39:55nah paying two life i don't want to do that
39:59like if you gain two life that's better but this also sign was and draw a card
40:04that's also possible too
40:09but not early game
40:12yeah that's the problem
40:15this makes more sense i think but oh it only gives me i only owned one
40:23yeah
40:25whatever you put in you want to put four in so you have a greater chance of actually drawing it
40:33rogue's passage
40:36it's a land you pay four and you tap it target creature can't be blocked
40:42all right not a card that's all right not a card but it's a book you use the mic
40:45you don't have one way to find out
40:46and do it
40:46yeah
40:48and i don't know you can draw one with a card
40:49and it's probably two or four in the parent
40:51and it's probably all right
40:54so you get the very quick pick up
40:56let's go to one point
40:58one point
40:58yeah
41:01i'm going to see if my card is not going to be wrong
41:02i'll see if my card is not going to be wrong
41:07uh probably the next balance with that uh would probably get to this one what is this one rumble
41:18arena screwing uh probably rogue's passage probably would be next but yeah i think we'll
41:27have to consider that for next time that's definitely a candidate because i'm gaining
41:34enough life but also i can hit for damage too and i've got four i can craft four of those
41:40but anyway
41:43we'll worry about that for next time let's save an exit
41:49just a little bit of a tweak we can see how that goes
41:54when you do that you want to play more than just one match to see how it goes because one
41:59match
41:59could just be unlucky like that second one see if you don't get the mana outs nothing can do
42:04but because i had 33 to 60 that is a good ratio that was just unlucky now if you had
42:12like
42:12but for example let's say you had 20 to 60 that would be different you'd be like okay that's not
42:18enough right mana but if you have 33 which is a little bit better than two to one right uh
42:26not
42:26creatures to mana right then it's definitely good all right so that's what you want
42:35all right guys so i'd like to thank all the people watching this uh on facebook
