Hard Locking Arena Fools is Back & Better than Ever | Against the Odds

today we're in the magic Arena to see if we can hardlock our opponent with fexi and unlife and solemnity and then finish the game by going infinite with exquisite blood in sanguin bond all right so here is our fian unli loock sanguin bond Exquisite blood combo deck and I'm pretty excited for this one because you might remember a while ago we were teaching Arena Zoomers about hard loocks and chalises and one of our big hard loocks was nine lives with solity so the idea is nine if you take damage it gets a counter then you place limity so nothing get counters you can never die to damage the problem is nine lives has one really big drawback if it leaves the battlefield you straight up lose the game and there are cards that c play that can just get it off the battlefield even though it has a proof ugan and farewells and some edict but now we got thanks to the enchanted tales and Wilds of elrain a huge upgrade in fexi and unlife so fexi un life it does everything nine lives does basically makes it so we don't lose the game to damage along side sality but if it leaves a battlefield we don't really care we don't lose the game or anything like that so the main goal of Our Deck is to stick a fra and life with cimity so we can never die to damage and then we have a bunch of card draw to find our pieces we're kind of an enchantress deck we got seus and enchantresses present which helps us dig through our deck and find our combo pieces and then to close out the game we have another brand new to Arena combo an Exquisite blood in sanguin bond so you've maybe seen this in Commander before Exquisite blood says whenever opponent loses life you gain that much life sanguin Bond says whenever you gain life Target opponent loses that much life so if we get both of these on the battlefield and either make our opponent lose a life or we gain a life we start this Loop where Exquisite blood suggars which suggar sanguin bond which suggar Exquisite blood sanguin Bond Exquisite blood sanguin Bond until our opponent loses all of their life and we win the game on the spot and one of the really cool things about this deck is we have a really easy way to start the combo remember just having these two cards on the battlefield doesn't actually do anything we either need to have our opponent lose life or gain life to start it seus is the perfect way to start the combo because whenever we cast an enchantment spell we not only draw a card but we gain a life so ideally we'll have a seus we'll have our combo we cast any random enchantment we start the infinite Loop and win the game and that's the goal of Our Deck the rest of our deck we got a bunch of ramp and syn and we were Utopia sprws turling Grove tutors upper pieces protects our enchantments line is say to the initially was in the sideboard but there's so many thoughts these decks right now in historic that it's in the main deck and actually really good lay line binding for some removal Mana base pretty typical stuff out side us some triom to turn on our lay line bindings in the sideboard a bunch more ways to protect our combo a bunch more removal some graveyard hate and that is our forian unlife lock sanguin Bon Exquisite blood combo deck that's our against odds deck for today so let's jump into some games and see what we can do with this deck thanks for watching everyone I hope you enjoy it and I'll be back in a bit for the wrap up need some magic cards well you can snag them from our sponsor Card Kingdom over at cardkingdom.com MTG goldfish all right all right it is frena Lifetime we are trying to uh ooh oh God okay we will keep this I mean we don't have a lay line so we might just get wrecked by thought caeses but uh we got the full combo in hand along with a seths and a sanctum Weaver this is the kind of hand we want although like I said o Kaiba Reade interesting well play a land we're going to run out we're going to run out Seth this and hope it lives but hopes they're not super high that it's going to live but we're going to try it maybe they're just like mono black Agro Rose and hopeless nightmare sanguin bond for now and opponent all right does kill the seus well Woodland Cemetery solemnity this will keep the raid Ron from ever flipping so now I guess we're looking for frine on life static discharge charge sure and blood Crypt untapped and skew the wow lay line totally well okay that's also good I mean l line would be good but you know what else is good cimity with fragen on life opponent do you have enchantment removal in your rose deck it's 2023 so it's theoretically possible I would say unlikely yeah that is it is pretty nice all right muffin all right muffin can you burn your way through a rexine on Life limity Lock bump in the night that actually does damage us so the way this works it's kind of like the nine Liv solim lock but like so much better wow and there's Del lay line um yeah let's add that to the to the mix it's kind of like nine Liv cimity but it's like a million times better the biggest thing is nine lives if it leaves a battlefield you just straight up die uh fraen on life does not care about that two decline decline yeah you can just have all of them doesn't really matter it's also just a a better form of a lock whenever an opponent loses life you gain that much life yeah let's uh get down Exquisite blood I mean I think we have just won this game I would be surprised if our opponent had a way to get out of this going to get in Exile the seus hit us to two well play sanctum Weaver play another sanum Weaver pass the tur our opponent's at 43 guards we're at 47 so if it does H oh all right sure so Mount Doom sack legendary fact D rail creatures that's fine it doesn't actually break out of the lock the other thing that's nice about this is it doesn't care about Bone Crusher giant that's other the other big upside we don't lose a game for having zero or less life the damage is as deal as though it had infects so rather than preventing the damage rather than preventing the damage this just uh shifts it to infect which is actually way way better and we will pass the turn I don't know if we're teaching Arena Zoomers in this in this video or not I haven't decided hi with the eye Ty so opponent's going to get us to negative life in theory this means if our opponent can remove fxing on life we die I'm hoping that because they're ratos they should not be able to remove it but you never know could use some card draw we have eight enchantress effects uh effects in Our Deck we're down one Seth this but we could really use another one Aon it hi of the eye Tyrant all of this does nothing yeah yep still negative four still not getting poison counters beat away friend beat away we will take all your attacks just don't kill the unlife hey good game to you all right opponent realized we are never going to die and never going to die is just as good as winning uh we'll discard we'll discard a land yeah it really doesn't matter like sure we'll take the two go to Nega six if we can find a sterling Grove then it's like fully locked cuz then they can't kill then they can't kill our uh our lock pieces although they might have feed the swm in the sideboard that seems possible but in the main deck I would be surprised if they actually had an answer all right another hopeless nightmare I mean our opponent can do this all day it just doesn't do anything I mean I guess we might as well just empty our hand I was trying to hold on to stuff in case we drew a seus so we could play it in draw cards but no blocks opponent passes well we will play LAN line of sanctity uh let's tap this for white cycle oh please don't hit our other combo piece we have one more polluted bonds this would be the one time not hey there we go okay so now we have some card draws so now we should be good we will eventually find the sanguin bond and once we find the sanguin bond then we combo kill now pass the turn opponent another hopeless nightmare I mean our opponent has this cute little loop with hopeless nightmare where they can keep doing this every turn it just doesn't mean anything like right now we win by our opponent Milling out that's going to go away once we start drawing cards so we're going to be more committed to the combo but I think it's worth it I don't like our opponent looking at you can see them hovering the fxi on life watch them actually have a way to kill it that would be the that would be the saddest I guess like k no they can't play K cuz lurus I don't know all right going to skew the sanctum Weaver sure OPP it passes play the land pass the turn why is our opponent not giving up that's the part that concerns me like if our opponent is 100% dead why don't they just scoop lurus doesn't do anything opponent passes well there's a seus play a seus draw a card I wish we could find a sterling Grove enchantress's presence opponent sacks the Hopeless nightmare does some scrying the bigger issue is there could be a time when we draw the pled Bond we got to make sure we don't have to discard it that's the one thing we can't draw it and discard it that would be bad cuz we do need the combo to win and the combo is athus and exquisite blood all right there's the Hopeless nightmare again yeah opponent can do this all day we discard the land were they passing do we untap with seus Wow we do well okay cimity okay there's the Sterling Grove that's that's a big one Sterling Grove draw some cards Utopia sprawl draw some car cards put it on really doesn't matter uh let's go green all right play the planes pass the turd now we just win in two turns our opponent can no longer Target us they no longer Target anything except the Sterling Grove next turn we can get down two more Sterling Groves and then we just tutor up the polluted bonds and combo kill the following turn that's the that's the game plan that that poor oy a ra just not going to flip not going to do it not going to do it hopeless nightmare again well we'll discard this sality actually yeah we'll discard sality we don't need another sality opponent going to pass okay so now Sterling Grove draw two cards this should actually do oh ooh oh it's another Exquisite blood right that's not as important uh Sterling Grove draw some cards lir of the Hydra 20 cards in Our Deck yeah we don't really need to draw more let's just uh let's just pass yeah yeah yeah opponent sacks the Hopeless nightmare now we fully protected now we feed the Swarm doesn't even matter our opponent would need I don't actually know what card they could have in their deck that would that would get them out of this discard discard discard I don't think there's a card that they could have in a luras deck that gets out from under this but I guess we'll see all right now we will sack the Sterling Grove get our sanguin bond untap play the sanguin bond wow I think we got there I mean that was really the fxy nlife that let us live long enough to do this and then we just play another Sterling Grove and the fun begins so we gain a life with sathis which trigger sanguin bond to make our opponent lose a life which will trigger the Exquisite blood for us to gain a life and now this just keeps going until our opponent dies all right all right all right all right that was uh that was a good one that was a very good one one thing we learned playing that is our opponent's like a burn deck and along with the unlife lock being absurd lay line just seems absurd like lay line all by itself seems ridiculous against our opponent's deck I don't even know if we change anything we might just literally run it back this might be the best the best setup uh yeah that is I mean I really like that Exquisite Bud sang wind Bond combo is a is a pretty sweet finisher for this deck that just you don't have to wait you don't got to build a board you don't have to care about rest as soon as you get it assembled and gain a life it just the game ends I mean we're going to keep this we might get thought seized into Oblivion but this is a good this is a good hand and it's a great hand if we don't get thought seized the only thing we're missing is a lay line lay line seems really good against our opponent's deck but opponent blood gript untapped and bump in the night well not a thought Seas uh untap land Utopia sprawl on white fra On Life's going to be decent even before we we assemble the lock static discharge down to 12 is there any way we lose this turn if we go to 10 I don't think so let's uh let's go to 10 play enchantress's presence next turn we get down the unlife ram amp ruins all right reing ra P this down to nine and skewer down to six oh yeah play the unlife draw card wow opponent just cannot be wow there's the slity too yeah this seems like a really really good match up found it play with fire down to four I mean the thing the way that this is worded we get like it's going to take 10 more burn spells for our opponent to kill us now which is just a ridiculously huge number opponent Mount Doom and all right grabs the lures let's play the untap land down to one play at this play another enchantress's presentence pass the turn Pon going to flip their Saga and Rayman amp ruins and aurus uh well play sanctum Weaver draw eight few cards now we're mostly looking for combo pieces actually yeah let's just a lay line lay line seems good here so now our opponent can't even Target us with the burn that they draw no attacks discard discard actually discard shocks the one downside of this is once we're at negative life our shocks are always going to play uh come into play tapped you can't pay life that you don't have even if you have a frag scine on life all right there goes the seus sure goes attacking no blocks into the negatives well play Seth this draw a couple of cards play utopia's forw draw a few cards put it on white we haven't hit any combo pieces yet green green white another enchantress's presence draw some cards all right there's a there's a combo piece Exquisite blood draw some cards Exquisite blood opponent seems to be enjoying themselves dra awesome cards and let's play a tap land 1 two 3 4 five six seven discard a bunch of stuff I mean we should be like a turn we should win this turn honestly if we have the sanctum Weaver we should just be able to draw enough cards that we find we find the win we will take the Beats back down to -2 I mean the combo's coming I mean I guess it's guaranteed to come this turn because a sterling opponent plays a land we don't actually have the slity at the moment so they can deal poison counters to us oh that's the other thing the life gain is helpful so let's play Sterling Grove so either we just straight up draw all right so we don't draw but we can pay one sack it take the sanguin bond play Utopia sprawl to draw the sanguin bond I feel like we're about to get Robin op opponent just wants to get that poison counter this is your chance you can give us a poison counter opponent you did it you did it yes so we draw the sanguin bond and a bunch of other stuff put it on black play the zangin bond draw some cards and last but not least make some white Mana play a laneline of sanctity and now the fun begins and opponent takes one we gain one they take one and uh yeah that looks like the game to me oh FR un lifee is so good it's so good and now wait why oh we have two Exquisite Bloods so we're gaining infinite life to go along with our our infinite death yeah that uh that was a good lay line matchup I'm starting to think that L line might just be a really good main Deck card in this format opponent Scoops it up yeah line L line seems really good it's like good against burn it's good against thought seeds initially when I was working on this deck I had it in the sideboard but I moved it to the to the main deck and yeah there's some match ups where it comes out but in general I've been pretty happy with it so that was that was a full combo got the sanguin bond got the frine UN lifee showing the power of the CED Tails sweet sweet sweet ooh all right please be a please be a thought SE deck this hand's a little janky we got Exquisite blood so we have half of our combo we can't play Seth this yet which is awkward in some matchups though L land of sanc is just absurd because th season and Inquisition are so popular black deck all right good good good uh we would like to draw white Mana for Seth our Lan line is probably doing work one thing I love about this deck is let's play Woodland Cemetery one thing I love about this deck is it accidentally hates on a lot of the most popular cards in the format whenever one of our creatures you can roll D draft a card from its spell bug well there's very slow white Mana well play this slow white man I hope this saurin doesn't wreck us too hard Bon it the world tree takes up saurin let's just play sality I think play the Woodland Cemetery we can't get value out of this Seth this yet thankfully your opponent hasn't been doing all right another saurin thankfully your opponent hasn't been doing much with this saurin takes up vampire the dire Moon sure all right going to take it up doesn't actually do anything well now we can play the land untapped play Seth this probably going to die this saor but at least it makes our opponent take it down wow opponent's like a super friend deck okay inter dang that is a lot of plains walkers ponet going to take up saurin why are they playing World tree why are they not taking the card with saurin going to kill the seus I assume and they get a card from the spell book I have no idea what our opponent's up to but it's kind of working opponent gets something I mean if we can find fxing un lifee we just lock him another Seth this another land well let's play Exquisite blood play a Godless Shrine we really need something to play with the seus to start run guards opponent going to take up the sword hilariously though our opponent like can't Target us with any of this stuff this Lan Line's doing some serious work opponent draws a card we gain a life okay K that's a bit of an issue going to tutor so opponent's just like mono Super Friends all right gets a Goos I guess that makes the world tree make more sense all right so Goos is going to get a land I mean we actually might be in trouble here because of Goos our opponent can start spinning to win and uh that is not good for us that is bad news abouton it what do you got going to take up the saurin while we are so close 1 2 3 4 5 six play the land play sanguin Bond pass the turn so if our opponent loses a life in any way like by taking up this L if they lose the game K doing K things ether flux Reservoir okay golos going to spin revenge of ravens D I think we actually win this I think we actually end up winning this e f resir sure sure sure reveng your Ravens sure sure sure deevi we did nothing and our opponent played five Plaines Walkers and I'm pretty sure we just combo kill them activating this card I don't know what it does but I can't imagine it gets our opponent out of this okay emblem creatures get negative one negative one spells you control cost one less to cast okay oh you're going to die oh you're going to die you did this to yourself yes yes yes opponent did it to themselves oh my God that was so good wow that was like the slowest clunkiest draw we just naturally played Exquisite blood sanguin bot and our opponent uh did us the favor of uh of losing a bit of life and uh and thereby the game uh we'll bring in the rest of the line bindings I don't know what we cut here though we know what our points up to it's mono black plains walkers apparently can't beat zangin Bon Exquisite blood though so maybe we got on like one one cimity one enchantress's presence try it like that I think we keep the lay lines like we didn't see thought Seas but we also had lay lines so our opponent very well could have had a bunch of discard in hand and just not been able to cast it well that was impressive because that was about as bad as one of our draws could be and we still won oo all right uh this is a pretty nice little lock hand we get to start with the Lan line we got Sterling Grove we one land away zero lands away from uh fr see on life slity with Serling Grove protection which is a pretty hard lock I don't know opponent's deck is weird car tutoring stuff from the sideboard could be could be an issue I think we just play another Sterling Grove get the lock going could use some card draw opponent K gains a bunch of Life K eating our lands is a concern while they just straight up go for ether flux well let's play cimity and Overgrown Tomb tapped how do they beat us though like they gain a ton of life but how do they make us die ais's Citadel well we will play The unlife Godly Shrine Sterling Grove number three so opponent can like have a big bis's Citadel turn ashak but they can't Target any of our stuff Ka jeez our opponent is going off here Blood on the snow so Kaa does any of this stuff matter not really yeah that's not going to work I mean I guess they could win by exiling Our Deck with ashiok that's a possibility well let's sack a sterling Grove do we need to get rid of the bowl assist in a can we try to win do we get card draw or do we just get a combo piece yeah let's take Exquisite blood I think draw the Exquisite blood play the land play the Exquisite blood so if our opponent cast stuff with bull assited out we gain a bunch of Life all right tball so we gain seven land off the top black market connections this is one of the wildest games we can't sack our Sterling Grove anymore unfortunately cuz we really need our stuff to be hex proof opponent X has a land that we didn't want there's a bass Rec what is going on bass recat vampire the dire Moon and Ashok I mean the way we lose is our opponent exiling Our Deck that's the problem all right going to cat in the car let's see what our opponent gets another ether flux Reservoir okay I mean they can rise of the Dark Realms okay they just they can't kill us though because they have to Target us so the only way we lose is by this nightmare these nightmares exiling our deck which will happen eventually oo all right another Sterling Grove that's actually huge so this means we can tutor up our last combo piece and if our opponent does anything they lose the game tainted remedy okay wait does that do something oh my yes yes they did oh they did it this Burns us out DED re I mean we're going to lose now but this might be the this might be the greatest thing I've ever seen we are going to we are going to lose now because now because of Tainted remedy whenever our opponent casts something we lose life instead of gaining life and we can't beat the the tainted remedy opponent Ash was not expecting tainted remedy opponent takes a bass for no value and emblems Kaa okay and cast our lay line of sanctity we lose now opponent goes to comat attacks Exiles Exiles oh they hit both of our okay yeah now we can scoop they hit both of our sanguin bonds I do not know what to say about that uh let's bring in Gideon's intervention can't even get mad about that like what are the what are the chances that was just the most absurd thing I've ever seen they're probably not actually playing thoughts let's go down one lay line let's run it like that I mean l Lane still does something just not enough tainted who plays tainted remedy um I mean we're going to keep this it's a little slow but we get to start with a lay line we have a seus we don't have a way to protect it yet we would like to find a way to protect it l line binding is actually good and we got our Gideon's intervention Tech which is 1 million per going to name Bolis of Citadel we'd love to just draw Sterling Grove that would be that would be the best just drawing a sterling Grove would make this so much easier I'll play the SP headquarter opponent H in the eye Tyrant play the end of the trium pass the turn can we draw a land or a sterling Grove double sanguin bond and VY not going to do much oh it's each opponent okay so it actually does do something land play this on green or play this on black so Utopia sprawl on black we might just lay line binding the veli here to get back our seus well that is also unfortunate Let's Line binding this is going almost hilariously wrong it's like our opponent somehow built their deck to beat Our Deck but no one knows Our Deck is a thing that is possible so I don't know how they managed to do that Xander wake we whiff on Lance get in with Seth is past the tur opponent cascading cataracts here her's downfall not good removal but technically removal L line binding we can wow we are running so badly here opponent calag way bass recat off of the I don't even know cascading Cataract and hey it's a land okay so we draw a land we will play cimity WoW fires up all right so opponent is doing kind of nothing they must just have a handful of removal gets in with the hive in the eye Tyrant we'd kind of like to draw more lands Utopia sprawl well Utopia sprawl black pass the turd we might have to Lan line binding this basser we can't let it ultimate living for a bit is fine Ultima thing is not fine opponent takes a basser saurin okay this is the wildest match opponent well all right L line binding get rid of the Bassy Gideon's intervention bis's Citadel pass the tur to fairy her of diamond areia our opponent's ability to actually cast spells through this is I can't believe this is working out for them opponent takes up tfairy does its thing we draw Woodland Cemetery well we will play a sanguin bond pass the tur I mean this tfairy is a huge problem it probably beats us I mean I guess if you're going to lose lose creatively it going to tuck the sanguin bond revenge of the Ravens doesn't really do anything going to pass we draw more lands well we will play a sanguin bond play a tap land I mean the big issue here is we just have no card draw we drew the one we drew the one uh seus it got killed and our opponent has managed to just play all the colors of Plaines Walkers despite the fact that uh they're playing a mono black Mana base these interplaner beacons and so forth are doing B and blood Caster sure unfortunately we know another sanguin bond is coming which is bad opponent doesn't do anything untaps their L can we hit some card draw okay well Sterling Grove is something at least play the Sterling Grove play the sanctum Weaver pass the tur so if opponent wants to get rid of the Sterling Grove they have to cash in you gotta be kidding me we'll keep this I mean so we got of no one life we have part of our sanguin bond combo but uh we still need the Exquisite blood we'll see hopefully we don't get thought seiz as long as we don't get thought seiz we have early removal in layline binding ooh all right opponent oh sack oh oh there's the full combo okay I think we do not I think we're going to not Shock we might have to shock next turn to get down enchantress's presence we have the full combo we just have to get to it sack should be a lot better now because of goblin bombardment that card's really good in sack decks we played it a little bit in Brawl but we haven't played it in a 60 card format yet but I love Goblin bombardment one of the best zck Outlets see you play all the way back to Legacy occasionally opponent tap land more witches ovens uh well play the land untapped play enchantress's presence next turn we should have a pretty good turn we can Utopia sprawl into cimity and if we draw land also L Line's binding robber of the Rich and that's fine steals a land sure hits us to 16 opponent passes well okay so play Woodland Cemetery play Utopia sprawl whatever oh there's a sterling Grove too let's just put it on White play Sterling Grove draw a card yeah we can just pass yeah we'll just pass so we can pass we can lay line BYO the robber of the rich draw a card wow okay that bow Master's a tiny bit too late missed the card draw does this mean we have to the bow Masters no don't do that oh no no no you gotta wait till we target you gotta wait till we target opponent don't go second yet yeah so I think we actually have to hit the bow Masters unfortunately because we're going to keep drawing cards so opponent does get to robber of the rich hit us down to 13 oh God steals fraxy unlife that's fine our combo still works through the unlife although we would have liked the unlife opponent passes play Anum Weaver is there any way we die this turn I mean I guess it's safest just to yeah let's play the unlife draw a card play the tap plan pass the turn next turn I think we can play both combo pieces opponent Mount Doom I mean cuz we're going to have a bunch of with the sanctum Weaver the only thing we're really worried about is our opponent all right they don't have anything too good we'll just take it I don't think they have like a pump spell or something that kill sanctum Weaver but you never know a cat to go with the oven would be annoying but not really deadly and now we just need a way to have our opponent lose a life we don't have the sephus so we draw a forest let's play the forest play a sanguin bond or Sterling girl first oh opponent has another bow Masters okay ping us yeah that is awkward pays us well okay now we have to get the lock down one two three solemnity can we make our opponent kill themselves cuz bow Masters is not a May ability right and they can't Target any of our stuff this makes eight all right so play sanguin Bond what would you like to Bow master I guess they can just bow Master their orc oh right right right they can still Target us yeah we don't have lay line down it just isn't going to kill us Exquisite blood opponent oh there's a seus okay that was the that was the missing piece of the puzzle opponent pings us kill us if you can I guess if you lose life you lose the game watch our opponent like tap their Mount Doom For Colored Mana if they lose life they lose the game if we gain life they lose the game oh the only thing that gets us is well Robert the doesn't even get us cuz we've they draw lay line but lay line doesn't actually oh Target opponent that actually does if they play the lay line then we need to find a removal spell for the for the lay line it actually does stop the combo because this yeah this target oh they tapped it for color [Laughter] man our opponent had the right it death by Mount Doom oh they tapped it they didn't have another black source and they tapped the Mount Doom to trigger the combo the hilarious thing is this lay line would have actually kept them alive for a minute we wouldn't have been able to immediately combo because of uh because sanguin bond does Target well okay got him got him oh and they scoop at one life opponent lets it run and then Scoops right before it would kill him Rest In Pieces definitely coming in I guess we can like go down one cimity maybe one enchantress's presence we do need to be aware of the bow Master although lay line really diminishes its power a wrath seems good I just don't know what to cut we want at least two of the Exquisite blood sanguin bonds we don't want to cut the unlife combo I guess we could try to go to two enchantress's presences or we could just go without the the Wrath we definitely need two of these because of like robber the rich or whatever it's playing one of them even though we can tutor it up is just too risky does cimity do anything outside of you know what maybe we go one let's go down to two solemnities let's try like that I feel like sality I guess it stops the orcish bow Master token that's one of the reasons I really like this deck is cimity is actually oddly well positioned and hates on bow Master it hates on the one ring so it actually just shuts down a lot of the best cards in the format so you get the extra upside ooh okay the sand is kind of absurd so we'll start with lay lines and then we can Sterling Grove into why I just need card draw all we're missing is card draw this L line should be pretty good against our opponent opponent Mount Doom well tap land go I think we definitely start with Sterling Grove play the Sterling Grove to protect our sanctum Weaver now we can play sanum Weaver and not worry about it dying Mayhem devil I mean it can't Target us though right so that's Utopia sprawl let's go white for now we'll find black eventually play the sanum Weaver but our opponent can't Target us or the sanctum Weaver F of the Mia breaker gets in no blocks well let's play sality this does stop the Fable of the mirror breaker from doing anything we can lay line binding do we even care about the Mayhem devil not really well let lay line binding to get rid of the goblin the Mayhem devil just can't Target us so it doesn't really do much other than attack opponent passes whenever you gain life Target opponent loses that much life yeah let's play the sanguin bond yeah let's run out rest in peace card draw opponent wow Castle lock WIS down to 14 blood gripped wi is oven sure I mean I guess they are kind of slowly killing us with Mayhem devil here yeah let's just pass how possible is it for opponent to kill an enchantment I guess is the question because we could sack this Sterling Grove but then we lose our protection opponent Castle lockway maybe cimity is just a good card it also hates on Fable it actually just even without the lock it actually just hates on a lot of stuff opponent going to pass all right we'll wait yeah we won't play The Line let's pass the turn we might have to line binding the mhem devil just because it's an attacker yeah I think we do let's lay line binding get rid of the Mayhem devil opponent sack it has to Ping themselves down to eight well lir of the Hydra that's actually pretty good here play the layer of the Hydra pass the turn and GG uh sality might just be a good guard even without the even without the combo solemnity just kind of wrecks people I think sality might just be underrated in in the current meta game one got the full combo game two sality plus a bunch of bunch of removal I mean eventually we would have comboed at some point we can sack the Sterling Grove the problem is if we sack Sterling Grove then we lose the hex proof on all of our enchantments and we probably lose sanum Weaver and who knows what else our opponent could kill so we want to wait until we're like desperate or until we draw something else lir the Hydra is pretty good though cuz we have a lot of Mana enough that if our opponent can't kill this it's just going to kill them so yeah sweet sweet it is fian unlife time and uh we have two enchantresses no well actually city has been the sneaky Allstar in this deck City might actually just be a legit good card I was going to say no combo pieces but wow okay just kidding we have literally all the combo pieces well this might be a freebie opponent Mountain 10th District legionaire mhm well uh Sun pedal Grove and cimity were you hoping to put some counters on your 10th District legionaire opponent were you hoping to grow that with the with plus one plus one counters I have a little bit of bad news just a just a little opponent feather it'sit us well uh frine on life GG are we done are we done are we done opponent all right got him uh we will bring in two wraths one exelon's binding two Lan Lin's bindings I don't know if we can fit all these I guess Lan line of sanctity does nothing so that's that's an easy cut and maybe we go one cimity even though it's good I kind of want the karmic Justice although we're hoping they just don't destroy our noncreature spells yeah let's let's just run it like that that's one of the upsides of this deck you can win the long grindy games with the Exquisite blood combo or you can just get him with fxy n lifee on turn four and or even turn three technically with Utopia sprawl and uh get a free win yeah this is this hand looks fine opponent wow there's unlife again well untap land Utopia sprawl on black probably actually do we even want black we'll find black eventually probably better to put put it on white or green white we got a lot of green in our Mana base opponent ples an illuminate a choso play earling Grove and over on Tomb tapped oh opponent Sundown pass Monastery Swift spia and here comes the big attack [Music] opponent they are going big I mean it's possible we're just too slow actually are we I mean opponent hits us for a ridiculous amount we draw so we have to play frine on Life play it why is this oh it's a sentinel size I see opponent unbake Canyon Monastery Swift spear they need to grow this enough that first strike gets us below zero it's possible they get to canive if they have another spell wow wait do we go to nine nine poison that is not dead so we can sack the Sterling Grove get the cimity I mean they could still get us here it's still definitely possible this is their turn so we draw it we play the sun pedal girl we play sality if our opponent can blow up the UNL for the sality they have us otherwise wi next turn the Sterling Grove should lock it in this is our opponent's one turn window wow that was a fast start now we get to play the Sterling Grove and opponent Scoops it up kind of busted actually if we get thought seized I'm going to be sad but as long as we don't get thought seized I like this hand we can Utopia Utopia uh Utopia spra all on green I mean cuz in theory we just get to jam enchantress's presence and then start drawing cards come on come on if we get thought seized our hand does nothing which is bad I think my mouse is losing battery we need cimity solemnity is the card I think that really that really locks it in against black decks we're even we're even built to fight the black decks with main deck lay lines we just didn't actually have them this game but get the unlife down opponent copper line Gorge well Sterling Grove is good play the tap land pass the turn kind of tempted to sack it for card draw it might be worth it there's the bow Masters sure we could also just sack it to get the lock Although our opponent's Jed so they could have an answer getting card draw is a little more brutal now that there's a bow Masters oh I think we're going to get cimity draw cimity play cimity well let's see if they can break out from the lock Fable the mirr breaker doesn't do anything orcish bow Masters doesn't grow the Army city is just like a straight of bomb this also stops the One Ring I'm telling you sality is just like straight up busted cimity is the is the card that no one is paying attention to that is actually just secretly busted in historic this seems like a good karmic Justice match up maybe go down one enchantress's presence and just run it like that it is kind of funny how much cimity just wrecks people it does it just like straight up wrecks people on the game number two you know what I really like though is a lay line a lay line would make me happiest cuz this deck does play a lot of discard I mean we're going to keep this there's no lay line but we're still going to keep it this s is too good to pass up discard is annoying we actually just have the whole finishing combo though I guess we need another black Source at some point but opponent blooming Marsh and what are we taking opponent what are we taking takes the Sterling Grove well all right tap land go opponent all right maybe we do want to just Mulligan for a lay line tap land passes well in that case let Woodland Cemetery s sanctum Weaver I mean it probably dies but whatever blood grip for opponent feble the Mir breaker well we have cimity to shut it down yeah I think we just play the cimity to stop the Fable from doing things no attacks opponent gets in with a goblin sure are they ramping into shrid shrid kills us with Seth this pretty fast Overgrown Tomb so if we play this that Taps for three yeah let's play seus Godly Shrine untapped Exquisite blood there's the bow Masters so it does get to Ping but it doesn't actually make an army all right well there goes some of our Mana opponent abundant Harvest for abundant Harvest abundant Harvest for abundant Harvest thought Seas well that's fine we don't have anything they can really thought seiz at the moment anyway sure thought Seas is some lands we gain a bit of Life opponent gets and hits us oh Sterling Grove is good let's play Sterling Grove draw a card ping seus Sun pedal Grove go we are pretty close to combo killing here opponent the one ring but it gets wrecked by Shield Rd it doesn't actually work cuz they can't get burden counters ponent gets in makes a treasure cimity is just wrecking the best deck in the format it is shutting down all the best cards in the format let's cycle the triome into a land get pinged o lay line is actually pretty excellent here let's play the L line oh that sanguin pond oh my God we are just naturally drawing the combo I think I think we can win next turn we would prefer our opponent to uh to play their last card because winning is going to involve sacking the Sterling grove w that is that is cimity power that is just straight up cimity power why has no one discovered how good sality is like everyone's talking about one ring and bow Masters cimity lock just locks both of them and Fable the mirror breaker as a bonus if there is one thing you learn from this video it's not that the combo is good even though it is it's not that it's not that Franky n lifee is good even though it is it's not that enchant stuff is busted even though it is it's that apparently cimity is actually just really good against a lot of the best cards in the format and uh maybe this should be an actual like sideboard card or whatever like it locks several of the most played and strongest cards one ring doesn't do anything bow Masters doesn't really do anything Fable the mirr breaker doesn't really do anything that is the power of solity it is finally finally slim news time to shine and uh yeah de was sweet sweet sweet sweet so what have we learn this week about our fxi D life block Exquisite blood sanguin Bond combo deck and overall the deck work pretty well we're playing at Diamond on Magic Arena went four and three with the deck overall so slowly ranking up with the deck and the plan worked exactly how we wanted to except it was even funnier than I expected so the fra on Life cimity Lock actually really effective in some matchups we saw some just free wins where we like sticking on turn four or even turn three in some cases with Utopia braw and our opponent just like Scoops it up because they can never win the funnier part of the deck though was definitely Exquisite blood with sanguin Bond where we were very concerned about like can we start the combo can we find our Seth to play an enchantment to start the combo to win the game with our infinite damage infinite life gain Shenanigans the thing is it turns out a lot of opponents don't read our cards and we had multiple opponents who started the combo themselves by like tapping a pain l or otherwise losing life uh ticking up a saur and Plaines Walker in one case I think so a lot of times our opponents just out of ignorance started our infinite Loop and kind of lost to themselves which made it even funnier but anyway that is frine unlife that is exquisite blooded segwood bot the deck's pretty sweet and wins more than it probably should so thanks for watching everyone I hope you enjoyed it and I will talk to you soon
