yeah we should make a mirror

tribal

deck just for people hey they're just mirrors Are you implying we should play empty mirror and the card that literally destroyed our format? Ryan, yeah, we're screaming into the void because no one plays commander anymore because people get countered by his non-colorless spells. I got you, I got you, are you kidding me? We're also going to play Mirror Universe because it's a reserve list card and we just want to highlight the reserve list cards as much as we can to increase the price because we both have like 400 copies of Mirror Universe.

I have a Legends Mirror Universe. Yes, or it's like one with a white board. Does it come with white border? I think it's black, it must be a slate one. I have a mirror universe. Great, yeah, it's probably a lot of money. Oh, then I won't have it for long. yeah, okay, we're getting long, let's get right to the deck, we have a lot to say, we have some super sweet suggestions to make for the deck to do what it does best and the deck is great on its own, so let's jump in to him, let's get over it, it's going to be amazing, okay, Ryan, now we said it was a simple

tribal

deck and we don't usually do this, but since the mirrors are a, I'll call them. it's still an unsupported tribe rather than the fact that they're old, I still don't think there are necessarily enough of them to be able to be really picky about the mirrors we play with, you know what a fair question, there sure are enough of them. but much of their purpose as tiny little robots is fodder, so many of them aren't as powerful or impactful in gameplay as we might need these days.

The commander agreed, yes, okay, so we will do it. the mirrors first we'll get them out of the way and then we'll talk about all the things that make the mirrors good, yeah, and some of them, some of them are good, oh yeah, it's not that the mirrors are bad, it's just that some some of them are bad, yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to express how I feel about them because I've played mirrors, I've had like the untapped tappy artifact complicated deck and I've had kind of the mere deck tribal that transforms into altimas in mist form and orvar in all forms, it has a lot of mirrors because they work together and they reference the mirrors and the orvar commander now as all types of creatures, so the mirrors are good. they're just not very impactful on their own if you're going up against other, more supported tribes, like elves, goblins, zombies, or pirates, maybe even like if your mirrors were slapped, yeah, pirates and dinosaurs, especially since they're of a more modern. that many of the mirrors are of original Mirrodin and second Muradin, pirates and dinosaurs, although they are further up the curve, they simply have more impact on the game, yes, anyway, this first mirror is good, although shiny mirror, mirror shiny, this, uh, this is a 2. -2 flasher for three other artifacts, you have flash, it's good, it's better, we have plague, that's the infected mana, idiot, dangerous mirror, dangerous mirror when it dies, it deals two damage to any target, almost good enough for the lord of tresserhorn, but says: any target, not all players use it as a palladium mirror.

I think this one is also okay, it's good, it's a two-two that adds colorless, colorless for three, so this is a three-drop mana rock, you can't use it right away, but it gives you two mana, let's illustrate my previous point with omegamir oh yeah this is a one two for two what does ryan do period? Yes, that's it, he does it, hard to load the last one to fall, flavor text, yes, take a drink, that's what says it all. Okay, let's use the mirror welder, this one has footprints, so you tap the target artifact card exiled from your graveyard, yeah, okay, so that's its footprint and the mirror welder has all of the abilities activated from all of them. the letters exiled with him.

This is a common combo card because Can you exile things that like to touch and then have some way to untap? Yes, it is a combined engine in itself, not in this deck. I think it's only here because it's a good mirror and there are a couple more artifacts in the deck that you know about. you can get it back and do something with it, yes this could be a backup for the graveyard really because it could gain the ability of something you want, yes ok simple father, when it dies you create a colorless mirror so it's one . for two, when it dies you get a simple salvage which is a graveyard, you salvage it or when it dies, return another target artifact from your graveyard to your hand, another very common combo piece along with the scrap diver and whats the other trawler junk, yes.

You can do scrap trawler mirror recovery loops where you sacrifice one of them and recover the other. Put it on the battlefield like the mana you got from the astronauts' altar. Sacrifice it da da da da da, you get infinite. battlefield or death triggers, yes, yes, we will have to see if we are doing it. They have infinite mana and haste, which we do and if you wanted to make an altar of this, you could make the transformers movie junkies, slash, transformers season three, where they ride motorcycles, but they like it when they fall and get hurt, the one who got hurt will become the motorcycle and the motorcycle will become the guy and they'll take off again that's cool I have no idea I think it's important to remember that we're in a hurry because the alibi makes us in a hurry yeah so mur el propagator if we have infinite mana can exponentially make more of them okay just a lunar vessel oh one one at a time that's good on the old vanilla mirror scale sure when it dies add one to your pool of mana, sure, so if we can cycle that infinitely.

I don't know, I'm just saying I like the mirrorscape modeler. I like it too and I forgot this card exists. It is dark steel. This is a one-for-three-tap target land and becomes an artifact in addition to its other types until the end of the turn. that's cool, that's kind of like liquid metal torque, oh, that should be here, yeah, but I guess that's not what we're doing with the platform, so we'll stick with a simple galvanizer, a simple galvanizer, play this in orvar, this gives all the others. mirrors plus one plus one and you can pay a tap, straighten one to the other mirror you control, it's good, it gives your team pseudo surveillance, yeah, yeah, that's good, mirror enforcer, oh yeah, infinity for artifacts four, four, four, seven, so, four, free, yes, it is. what we are talking about, yes, a mere battle sphere, this is, I believe, the most famous of the mirrors and perhaps the most powerful, I would say, so yes, this is a simple construction of four seven, because seven enters to the battlefield, you get four simple tokens, one and every time it attacks, you can tap x untapped mirror you control, in our case a lot of them, yes, and the mere battle sphere gets x more or and does x damage to the player target or the planeswalker that's attacking, yeah, so it's not like you do that and then smash the other opponent over there, you have to catch the guy you're trying to catch anyway, yeah, you're usually trying to catch that one guy anyway yeah so okay and we'd just play like 10 mirrors sure and attack for 14 and do 10. yeah pretty cool pretty not that bad mirror adapter oh honey look it's got all these different arms and stuff, that's why you have to watch it on YouTube.

I love this guy, one for three, he is a common type of trend. We've identified, yeah, plus one plus one for each attached team, let's cut it and play something different because there's breaking news, zero teams in this deck, yeah, not many, so we'll cut it. put something else on the lodestone mirror. I love this one. I have played it to great effect in the old 60s in four days. Yes, the dark times, the four times, the medieval times, yes, yes, this, uh, two, two by four, he's going to hold one. extra power and stamina, trampler ooh, and you can tap an untapped artifact you control to give them plus one plus one, yeah that's kind of like a mere battle sphere and that's kind of what alibu does so we're looking at some redundancy there, you hit our guys and we take more damage.

Cold iron mirror strikes for red claw mirror, infects and blocks, gets plus two plus two when blocked, gets deeper, yeah it has rampage too, yeah that's actually what it's not. No, because Rampage was the second creature, but Ram, yeah, let's talk about the floating mirror, look at this guy, how does he fly with those? They are gravity balls. Oh, I thought they were like tits, very long nipples, another reason why you need to look at us. youtube that's how I, man do you need glasses? God, I could, I could say a lot about what this thing looks like, but we'll move on.

This is a flying vigilante, one, two by two, a golden mirror that hits to obtain a dark white steel. indestructible mirror and alloy mirror what is a zero one, yeah let's go for three alloy mirror taps for any color, it's a two, two, four, three, I wish it wasn't a two, two, four, three, it has sense, okay, yeah, let's move forward real quick. to our sponsors because I mentioned the cemetery circuit and I mentioned the scrap metal diver and the scrap metal trawler, both on the deck there are three drops that when they die you get something in return, of course, yes, we also have a wake in the past, I don't do.

I don't think we've played that card before, definitely not, it's from Commander 21 or Strix Haven Commander, sure, return all artifact cards from your graveyard to the battlefield and they gain haste until the end of turn seven, mana, that's pretty good, that's fine, that's what it does. Open up, let's open the artifact vaults, yes or yes, with a small boron attack that staples to the top. I don't care, that's fine, yeah, because we don't care if we're attacking because we just want to take advantage of our Guys, yeah, we just want to touch them, oh man, oh, I'm really excited to find out when we're going to do some deck building.

We suggest I'm very excited, okay, very excited, we have a workshop assistant, oh that's the one. two for three, when it dies you return another artifact card from your graveyard to your hand, it's like a junk dive or a junk tracker mirror retriever, yeah I thought I was thinking about work, a different workshop, doesn't matter and finally a doretti. scrap savant ah, plus two for infidel loot uh, you can discard up to two cards draw so many cards that it's a kind of infidel loot minus 2 m loot an artifact recover an artifact from your garden that's junk for the treasury, yes and minus 10 is what you get an emblem with an always every time an artifact enters your courtyard from the battlefield, return it to the game at the beginning of the next end step, so its two negative abilities are getterbacker abilities, yes, that's why that we are playing it and it has some cards. draw, have you ever seen a doretti be perfected?

I don't think he did it. I don't think I did. There's just too much value in retrieving artifacts from your graveyard, yes, and people don't want you to get that ultimate ability. because in the deck where he comes in or he leads, then you can't let that happen, yeah, it just doesn't happen, you just lose, you just don't get there, yeah, okay, where do we go next? A ramp because I have more creech more mirrors more artifacts let's make more mirrors first we'll get into the other things so more mirrors let's make symbolic mirrors now oh mirror tokens let's start with mirror turbine mirror turbine i play this card, tap, get a mirror token or tap and tap five on the mirrors you control, remember we want things, tap, tap, tappity, tap, tap, yeah, tap, go home, search your library for a simple creature card, put it in the b so you get that.

How do you get your uh? What is that your sphere of battle? Yes or some combo mirror if that's what you end up doing now. I have to say it because I mentioned it a couple of times. This is not a combo deck. No, there is a lot of combo potential. We'll talk about that later, yes, but what we're doing here isn't necessarily a combo deck, it's more of the traditional Boros aggro with a burn like a laser beam that makes your commander, oh yeah, a laser beam that's also a good altar, yes. It's just that I love laser rays, mirror matrix, mirror matrix, I also like this one, the same art, almost hey, in mirror turbine and mirror matrix, yes, and these became like little mirror balls floating, yeah anyway indestructible and all mirrors get plus one and pay five to get a mirror which is definitely the same physical object in that art it's definitely the same twice I think actually I think it is but they're from different points from the story I'm sure the next one is a mere incubator I love this one and our friend Clayton, who has this deck, has definitely launched this against me and I have launched it against other people. the battlefield wow and everyone is in a hurry, you can attack them all with alibi activation like 80 times.

This is like a one card combo with your commander. It's great if you don't mind that you're attacking with all your might. one or if you tarnish and then because you have removed allweaknesses, and I don't know how much we have to show the strengths because we've talked quite passionately about this deck, I think, but we will, we will. the moves that we will build atypical for the color combination are borrowed, yes, although it is an attack deck, it has some play, yes, it has a good twist on the attack attack, yes, we only have to attack with one type and it is not. a Voltron, yes, and not our entire team, yes, and we're still doing it, that's right, I think that's good, highly synergistic, yes, everything talks to each other, which is typical of artifact decks, I think ok, i agree, ok, probably less power required. it takes away some of the synergies, but it can also be adjusted to do multiple attack steps or combos or maybe more graveyard stuff or it's like stacking stuff or doing whatever.

You can do anything with this deck. Yes, you can use the almond clock to take advantage of your batteries. pieces so they go off on your turn and you untap your yeah that's pretty cool people are attacking you because they hate your stack pieces so you tap them to turn them off so you can untap your giant blocker and kill their guy oh yeah , could I've done that on a Traxxa before, I don't know, yeah well the point is there are multiple build paths and that's a strength and it's cool, yes sir, now we move on to the weaknesses, maybe we don't move away enough. of boros aggro attacking attacking because we are playing a tribal deck with eraser like omega mirror, yeah right the creatures are weak and this deck completely folds and just burys its head in the ground against a vandal.explosion, yeah that was it my next weakness, two weak artifact sweepers in addition to creature sweepers, so you're weak to two different types of sweepers, yeah, which is maybe what you could say about all creature decks, aggro decks, or all creature decks. artifacts, so how many, how many?

Sweepers, people usually play a pair per deck, yes, but they will have some pairs per deck and an explosion of vandalism, yeah, sure, I guess you know what I like, although it's like we're playing artifact. Creatures are probably the weakest or most exposed card type, but because it's so synergistic and we have a section of graveyard getter supporters, the point removal that gets creatures or artifacts isn't a big deal because we have redundancy with our commander and with some effects, bigger sponsors, like we have resilience on the junk divers team, yeah, look at us, bringing positive out of negative, yeah man, it's like we're all kumbaya and stuff, yeah, well, let's throw something, let's find something to throw on. dump in edh wreck yeah let's dump them when we go to the spice calculator yeah okay we get there so when we go to edhrec.com we see 423 alley boo decks that demonstrate the versatility I think yeah yeah that it's 14 um, 14th among Boros commanders put something or put it right below Hoffrey Ghost Forge, right above Iros God of Victory.

I didn't expect to see so many decks for Alibu so soon and I didn't expect Alibu to be up there like rank 14, one of I guess the few Boros commanders that don't borrow things, so I feel like we want something different to get people into it. thereto. What is the most popular boros command? I guess it's feather, yeah, okay, and Winona and Oscar, the reconstruction, okay, sure, that's what I mean. I know those are all atypical boros types, I don't know if they aren't, never mind the deck's average mana value 3.41, which seems high for an artifact deck, but you have to remember that a couple of things have like 7 and 11 which I actually have an affinity for artifacts and pretty much every creature in our creature pack costs three I guess so so tudors I think we count one which is the Kaldotha forge map there's the forge master of Kaldotha and there is another, there is another, the one with the mirror. turbines or matrices, that is, yes, it touches the mirror turbine, the turbine, so let's count two or one.

I think you'll be able to do any of those things whenever you want, yes, and they're repeatable, so yes, given that. There are two repeatable tutors, we have to count them as two, that's okay, since you'll probably be able to use at least one of them twice. Now we enter it all into the spice calculator with a uniqueness rating of 34 cards. 34 cards in this deck different from the values ​​page in edh to the right. I feel like it falls into the mirror trap where we're just playing tribal, other people probably tried to make simple tribal kid artifact creatures and there are so many mirrors you're going to play with because most of them suck, yeah, what? we don't see in our deck that we saw on edhrec.com are extra tutors, yes, damage adders or doublers and things like crack clan ironworks and ashnod alter the combo pieces, right, we're not doing so well with you either.

Gary for not including all the traditional stuff and giving the mirrors a tribal representation, yeah, so we drill everything and get a 42.1 spice rating, okay, okay, okay if we cut a tudor, if we cut maybe the broththa. forge master because you could just sacrifice artifacts and untap them and score a full woman deck if you wanted 52.1, so I think it's a great deck. I liked. I thought of my friend Clayton. You too. I saw something that wasn't. everything tacky or everything combined was somewhere in the middle with potential to go both directions and that's why I thought about the art of deck building here we go I agree with everything you just said one thing I noticed when you look at all of those the damage doubles, you know, it would have been really good in this deck if you were playing double damage, a blatant taunt because then you could attack with aliboo.

He was looking at Brando as if he had two heads. I said: what are you talking about? Because you have double damage or attack with a boo ally or another artifact creature, you're going to do like 14 tapped artifacts, lady's damage value, to the shameless mocker and then he's going to do 28, yeah, and that's what you get when you play with the most handsome. The best most versatile creature of all time. Card of the week. You give them the cheeky mocker of the week card again. Yeah, I thought you could give it to him as oven or anger.

Fiery emancipation. Cock. Flavor of the Twin Gods as a damage doubler. brass straight to brash t it's been a long time i feel like he might have felt left out too long because love has left brash and boy out of the cart category of the week fusiongamingonline.com cco fusion five for five percent off your The cheeky teasers I currently make in my pile to alter have two cheeky tantrums, oh yeah, it's been a while since someone asked me to alter the cheeky teaser giving the middle finger, although I've done it a couple of times so yeah Anyone interested in that, call me.
