Petr Sochůrek (The Rock) vs Adam Koska (UR Tide Burn)

[Music] foreign [Music] today I'm here with Adam koska hello hi everyone and we decided to to record the match between two decks I'm playing more of a like one of the tier one decks or tier two decks like a normal deck in the format by green rock and I'm just going to be honestly yeah I'm playing quite a brew uh blue red stand still burn with Parallax tides and angst of Mishra it's a deck that like I I started playing a while ago and it's been a bit of my pet deck but we'll see we're gonna see how it plays against uh against the staple of the format so let's talk about my deck first this is the classic black green rock which is trying to play the best removal spells best creatures and best like discard spells in a format uh generally these kind of decks are better possible because you can kinda you know maybe shave removal spell seconds against control decks bring in more card draw against like uh control decks or combo decks or whatever whatever what have you uh what do you think about the matchups in general you mean uh yeah I think that The Rock has some I would say it's it's it's one of those decks with 50 50 match-ups across the board especially pre-board but I think one of one of the reasons why I like the deck in the format is that I think it has a game against Dreadnought because you have basically all your removal uh kills Dreadnought and you have a bunch of discard spells to clear the way for for the removal yeah so that's that's that's one reason like yeah and it has a really solid late game with recurring Nightmare and volarat stronghold so so the the cars that you see in all the decklists are like birds of paradise ravenous Baylor blossoms tourists uh but there is like maybe pernicious did as well but there are like many Flex spots uh this decklist specifically plays like one Buster two friction rager two a recurring nightmare for couple therapy um can you talk about it a little bit uh yeah the removal package it's really it can be it can be customized for The Meta that you're expecting if you're expecting a lot of meddling Mages then I think the best approach is just to diversify so that you don't get stuck with you know just smothers and pernicious deeds and staring down to meddling Mages um and then yeah it's it's the the core of the deck is pretty clear but as you said there's there's a lot of wiggle room for for you know Pet cards like natural order into virgin Force you know or stuff like that sounds like a lot of fun yeah yeah like can you imagine turn three better than Force against burn so looking at the cyborg it kind of seems that his cyber is built more for like a living wish type of a deck is that an accident or uh might be that's like I used to play The Living wish uh package but to be honest I think there's like two cards left from the living wish there's definitely no swamp in the sideboard as far as as far as I know uh also this is this is uh we talked about it before there's uh one of the issues with the rock is the Mana that you only have for one over wastes uh for fixing so and there's a lot of rock decks play wall of roots so they kind of lack you know uh access to too many black Mana sources uh so I think the way you want to go is either you want to go with uh birds of paradise or living wish for black Source it just adds like it acts as like three extra black sources or some some lists place to do of grass which it's okay but I really hate having city of brasses for example your only black source and you go turn one city of brass to rest that's just you know that game you already dig yourself in like you dig a pretty pretty deep hole for yourself starting that from turn one So today we're gonna play a black green against blue red burn or I'm not sure how to hold the color deck what do you think about the matchup that is pretty hard to tell I think that there are some Haymakers on both sides uh The Rock has pernicious deed against the deck with uh Four moog's Diamonds and a bunch of One Drops so you can imagine how that goes on the other hand one of the the plans of the Blu-ray deck is Mana denial uh with Parallax died richden Port so that could be pretty pretty effective against against The Rock so not sure about the matchup but to introduce the blue red deck little uh it's basically a burn deck with standstills and a sweet package of ankov Mishra and Parallax died which sometimes the anchor Mishra just deals damage to the opponent that's fine you're playing burn sometimes productive gives you some time to push through some damage it's also fine and sometimes you combine them them and just randomly deal 10 damage to the opponent by phasing out or removing all their lands and then bringing them back the deck also has one of my favorite cards in the format veteran Brawlers which is basically it's I have it's a it's a red tarmogoife you know if uh you know what I mean it's a two Mana four four which can only attack if the opponent has uh no anter plans and this deck has a parallax tide ritual import and fire rice so with ice you can you know your opponent leaves one untap land you tap the fight with ice and attack uh so it's definitely a rogue deck but I've played it a bunch uh it's fun to play I think it's reasonable what do you think about the matchups for the day because like on one hand it seems that it might be good against creatures because it's like but you'll burn fire fires and stuff but you also have like the land distraction package so it actually kind of seems pretty good overall is that maybe not the case I would say the biggest problem of this deck is Firex and Dreadnought because you have zero ways how to remove it uh in the main deck and there are just not really any good like you can tap it with ice and hope to to kill the opponent before before but that's not realistic so I think that's the biggest problem and combo in general because you don't really have permission and uh but against fair decks even against Goblins the deck is not so bad and you can go like turn one land MOX Diamond stand still with a bunch of uh man lands the deck plays mistress Factory fairy conclave and one random guitar incumbent uh so yeah like against fair decks I kind of like this deck um the Mana base is a bit shaky you play mog's Diamonds Shivan Reef city of brass and a lot of colorless lens Richmond Port mistress Factory and Wasteland but I would say that overall the car that brings this deck together is standstill you're playing Parallax tide which is a four drop in a deck that's relatively light on Mana the way how to get to four lands is draw three from standstill yeah so but yeah also you can catch some people by surprise if they don't know what to expect right I'm curious how it's gonna go yeah yeah me too yeah let's give it a try all right so Harold not much come on all right okay okay it's very important I guess it's still big I think so I think in this matchup uh the iron matters a lot this is wild not great but I'll keep I'm gonna give it a try all right okay um I'm gonna don't waste on me go MOX Diamond discard I mean this yeah this and I'm gonna always lend you another one okay uh land attack for two take two yeah and I got my shot go that's gonna hurt no other blossoms please unfortunately no one all right okay take two okay I think that's fine go um okay I'm just gonna play another um yeah no lens I don't want to take four all right okay four yeah [Music] yeah yeah this is not going well at all um I'm gonna say go and your upkeep I'm gonna do something um I'm gonna tap something with fire ice I'm gonna tap the black Mana with fire eyes and draw a card I'm just gonna pop this off okay so these go away I'll draw a card as well Focus safers I take one I'll play tourists not great that's right indeed both shows away sure yeah go nobody can drill to get out of this uh stand Still's not even great with the treetop so I'm just gonna play the Shivering pass okay this is gonna be quick yeah it is good look like whatever I can't bolt it I can't do anything about it so I'm gonna play parts and pass your upkeep I'm gonna tap your Tree Top 16 thank you oh it's too much okay okay I have stone cold nothing my turn maybe I should have said the monks because I knew about it but it's not like it's not doing anything no not really um and [Music] um what you got yeah well not much I think I think well I I drew obviously I drew car like stars of course yeah I'm gonna take two here uh um and I'm gonna Exile your four lands straight away and hope to draw like make you sacrifice your bail off and then we have a game but okay let's see is it it no no no it's uh get to incumbent and I passed the term and tap your forest in Europe six okay give me all those lines back you can have them back control cart um I think we're almost done um go ahead like sure it's funny like some versions of Elder instead but because I go to lines in your turns and this is actually so much better this is like green divination which fixes your Mana right sometimes you can play a bit dude recurring nightmare you can just like cycle it and then just like swap it for whatever wall of blossoms yeah I like the card I wouldn't play oh it goes in your hand I just said this one yeah yeah no worries um it's pretty good in the spot that is lights out very much so yeah okay okay all right so this is how we sideboard uh for me these go these cards go in these cards go out bolds don't really have a great Target against you mog's Diamond I don't need to be super fast and it dies to pernicious deed and this is just more Mana denial and this is against the pernicious D2 I just need to stop that card yeah so I think the way I lose the game is like one of one of the two Mana artifacts that you have access to so I'm boarding in ways to destroy it I think double therapy is pretty bad you don't really have like one car that I really need to hit and I think it answers for your cards anyway and you can miss so I don't like that much yeah yeah go ahead I just wanted to say like the only card that you really want to discard is stand still yeah and sometimes it's too late yeah yeah sorry so it's hermit yeah is it too slow I when I resolve it it's gonna it's gonna be really hard for me to lose but on the other hand you have like 12 cards that destroy lands so I give the captain one I'm not really sure for the same reasons I'm cutting nightmare it can be a little bit slow you can kill my creatures uh yeah I just think that you can have like the sketchy hand with like therapy nightmare fiber that you can cast and that's the way you lose so I just streamlined my deck a little bit sounds about right and let's give it a try so I'm gonna be on the play this time uh stand still please okay I'll keep well my hand's not gray but I'm gonna go for it oh okay so I'm gonna take one and I'm gonna play jackals up go freeze up again don't waste anybody I'm gonna swing for two 18 and I'm gonna play my fanatic and I'm gonna make something no sorry go it's so awkward release that lens that you really want to put it into play but then it's like big to Wasteland so yeah but I think you there's no way you don't play Treetops yeah that's what I'm saying is it's super awkward at mitious factory swing 3 15. I'll play well we've seen this card before and I'm gonna kill the birds it's way better this time yeah I'm on the plate that's a big it's a big um change all right I'll take two uh-huh I guess that is a good coat there's a good card which blanks my Jackal pop um okay what do I do hmm I think I just have to go for it again so I'm gonna take two here from the ankh and uh fairy conclave is quite good against you I'm gonna play another anchor a bit of a flashback from the last game let's see how it goes this time go I don't have a bike model so far so [Music] this is gonna be rough like be grateful that you don't play fetchlands okay it could be a lot worse thank you yes all right take four not Black by a lot no you can get the far back go all right so all of fruit gets one counter pretty good against balance okay the the for me the question now is how much damage I want to take like do I want to keep playing lands uh um and I think the answer right now is I'm okay so I'm going to take one damage here go to 15 and play a blocker for the Baylor oh man so I I cannot block if I have untapped plans but without my number and you know this is not much or any shoe anymore yeah I actually got a lot yeah I'm gonna pass the turn maybe I can draw one sure okay take four down to five another namesake card furnish his deed there it is all right all right no one will unfortunately go okay what do I do here okay um this is gonna be good so yeah I think that's that's you have one amount available so you can you can pop the apprentices each for one so I'm gonna take four here you know what's coming I'm gonna tap this that is that's right and I'm just gonna Exile the four lands um and then okay so how do I do this if you draw One land then you take four from the angs and then you can blow everything but you can you can you can put the the permission Z for two which is not great so um so I think I took one damage from City of brass as well but it was like one one no no I think I took it I was at 15. so I took four from the double anch and one damage from the city of brass yeah um okay okay okay okay do I want to attack here um I might because like the worst case scenario is draw like the only way for you to win the game is that you draw land and Kill The Angst exactly so I think I just want to attack here all right because of that reason I'm just gonna jump yeah sure because like the the world dies anyway if you yeah uh and actually you might have the land already in your hand okay go nope nope so end of turn ixle one of my own lands I still think hey I still think you take okay so you can you can you can survive by sacrificing the bay loss I'll play Birds okay we can go interesting so I hmm I think I want to excel one of my own lands at the end of turned so that um I could so that the the tide hits you for eight and you have to sacrifice I think so yeah but then like you get the untapped lands and yeah I guess right yeah sure so I'm gonna oh wait did I even want to play The Birds because you're gonna sacrifice yeah anyway yeah all right sure no worries so um does it change anything because it's clear that you don't have the the land so what I can do is like not Exile one yeah and just attack with fairy conclave while you don't have any uh way better yeah right and then like if you if you draw the land you still have to sacrifice the bailout okay I guess that I like that more all right so and I don't take four from the from the Parallax uh from the anchor Fisheries so this one goes away well in that case it was better to play Birds because it was yeah it was all your decision oh man I knew all along wait did I really talk you out of playing the birds no that was if you weren't saying anything you know so okay let's see I can't believe this so I'm gonna um take one here animate the fairy conclave and then I guess I still want to attack with both um and I definitely don't want to attack with it with the pop right wait actually no actually I want to attack with the pup as well you're just gonna block here sure I'm gonna attack like this all right so you getting four and then you take two here so you go to seven and um yeah go all right not okay I guess I I'm still thinking if I should have actually targeted one of my one lens not to give you the out with for the pernition maybe without looking better but like yeah I guess I should have done that okay well so that was game game two one one right I'll be on the latest time it's huge game three [Music] all right okay yeah me too unfortunately I have to go to 19. oh no this hurts okay all right I'm not gonna have my bird Alone um solidarity I'll take one as well and sorry the bird is that the bird has to go true forests and wall ah that card is so good it always feels so good yeah my turn okay decisions decisions decisions decisions yeah uh I guess okay I guess I'm gonna play a cup and Wasteland the black source and got these sources right here yeah I had the chance to play Stand still I drew this one too um let's just take a step I think that makes sense Georgia hmm okay let me shrap um um I'm gonna attack you know you know about the uh yeah [Music] yeah that's fine in your upkeep I'm just gonna tap one other ones take one um it's gonna be I think I'm just gonna Target this one because it seems like you don't have another black Source you might have another thing yeah so this one yeah I draw a card how much does that worry me maybe not that much at least for now um fanatic and go is it by what time dress I see um yeah the winter doesn't do much when I don't have Max diamond so maybe I'm gonna draw and you want it out one maybe it's not just maybe maybe it's not as great as it could be just neither diet I guess cool so sort of a cargo would be good in these sort of mashups like I don't know Factor fiction or something yeah I could play I could run a sideboard Factor fiction analyzers or something yeah how many cards do you have the question for me is like do I run the the tide out but like on three lands I guess I want to because I'm just gonna slow you down and I can start beating you down with missions factories and stuff so I'm gonna take two gonna play the the tight you might have a naturalized that's fine I don't really mind um I'm gonna Target the green land no Natural Ice okay black uh floating green okay so in that case I'm just gonna go into combat yeah okay I was just testing it nice try nice try um so the question is like do I take the ball the Dust Bowl I don't really care about it too much but you might like have a wall of roots in your hand draw Green play it I would have played it faster um yeah I think I'm fine with like leaving you with it thanks for the inside go so now I have some some time to just be down with the with the mishras so what I'm gonna do is then I'm gonna activate one and I'm gonna attack like this oh yeah exactly yeah that's that's the idea I still think I plug it yeah I'm gonna pump it and take one from The Fanatic kill the wall I'm gonna take one and play another fanatic go I'm gonna die to this small creatures [Applause] um okay take one damage from the city and I'm gonna swing for five well and plus no come on Cheeto okay so that looks like five more damage should be something going clear away um um yeah I guess that's that's that's the best that I can do so activate I'm gonna take one attacker five down to seven go yeah let's go let's get this box yeah yeah there's not much I can do about that so I'm gonna draw a card something good well it's another Mishra um so but with the Dust Bowl I don't think like I want to make one of my mishras for for Twitter to attack around the Treetops so uh uh might just like activate both and then like whichever you decide to block I pump it with the other Miss Ryan yeah that sounds that sounds good so I'll take a one here activate both mishras and yeah I'll swing let's see here um [Music] yeah I guess okay so I'll pump the one that you block it so this one dies you take two yeah five and I'll pass that just hit me with the Baywatch no such luck well you gotta have something I suppose I I'm thinking if I should have attacked with a fanatic as well like if you block it then but then like I pump the mixture you kill it with a smaller new you kill my fanatic too so maybe it's fine this way three and I think the only one that you know about is winter herb which is like I would much rather have the lightning bolt in this game maybe maybe it's not a great cartoon this matchup yeah I guess I just pass that is not great so I'll draw a card okay this is this I can work with uh we should import oh man all right so I'm gonna activate the factory yeah and yeah I think I just attacked like this and then if you try to block if you animate the Tree Top I'm just gonna tap it so it works with me okay let's go to this so okay so you tap out this one goes away um yeah that's fine so you take one your four um I'm gonna pass the turn and tap one of your lands in your upkeep which one [Music] um so next turn up here so Street of Village is fine um I'm just gonna tap the swamp I think um so either I sacrifice they do take one or I don't do take one so yeah it's fine uh-huh okay okay that is good uh-huh that worked pretty well but on the other hand the the winter herb starts to look a little more appealing than it did before it gives me some time at least yeah I actually like see from your hand no you can this is two-thirds of your life another dad you burn down the bolts though and you used to Fanatics yeah it's already you might not necessarily know about the fact that I boarded out the bolts but if you do then all right my turn yeah so what I can do now is I can tap the wallet yeah exactly tap the wall and attack which sounds okay especially considering the card that I drew it sounds pretty good so [Music] um sure I'm gonna tap the oh no not this way and that doesn't work unfortunately so I'm gonna do it like this I'm gonna tap the wall uh draw a card I'm gonna take one in the process oh what are you hoping for uh I'll show you in a in a bit so you go to one and I'll pass the drink I can I can show it on the camera so I'm a nine year one sure I have a blaster that's fine so my hand is boxmox yeah I was like looking for land it's actually punished for for taking the order uh I guess but I mean it was pretty hard to tell so yeah I'm just gonna um there's nothing you can you can do but uh I'm just gonna Panic again okay yeah all right what do you think maybe if I took the other card obviously the orb would be annoying but eventually I would just you know play Blaster there more pernicious to eat and hmm yeah maybe it was safer like yes and yeah yeah that's true you have pernicious deed for that so you can you can always yeah the burp the Bears game would be great now if you manage to stabilize like your graveyard is full this is this is a lot of bears yeah actually like you know earlier in the game I had this this London player and I had this so that was pretty pretty annoying that I couldn't cast it but I think that if I was able to it would be really powerful yeah yeah it basically means like you just gum up the ground with four lands you make two bears this car actually seems pretty good to me it's I have seen close to zero play of this card in pre-modern that doesn't mean it's bad necessarily maybe it's a Hidden Gem yeah but okay anyway thanks for the game and that's uh that's for this matchup if you liked the video uh click on the Subscribe button maybe follow us on
