Take That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Fun Artifact GamesThere are a lot of weird things that can happen with this deck. If you can "animate" the tools just right, there's a lot of aember to be won!Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/4fc151c4-c3c1-4096-b5d2-5a8c6cd1fa1b2020-09-0813 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Some nice Omni Artifacts here, plus lots of board wipe!Book of Malefaction is just great, especially in a world with Rad Pennies. Also, excellent board control in Dis, with City-State Interest, Axiom, and a TON of capture mitigation in Saurian.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/124826f8-52f6-4623-bf4a-bfa5e1ca053b2020-09-0513 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!This Maverick just makes senseSeeker Needle in Dis is nice. Plus, I always love to see Entropic Swirl, and these board control Actions in Sanctum are really nice!Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/848bab03-f0a1-4f63-9d79-1cbb154caeab2020-09-0115 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Here come the Riders!Multiple Grey Riders can be pretty overwhelming, and Ardent Hero can work as a built-in Shield of Justice if you're playing against another MM deck. Double Gateway adds to the board control, and with only 15 creatures we'll probably want to use them most of the time.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/de3e0a66-d7e3-47c2-a2d4-81d14f5298392020-08-2910 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Exiles Oh My!This is a pretty great aember manipulation package in Saurian, with a fairly complementary Star Alliance. Unfortunately, this is on the low end of Logos setups that I've seen so far in MM, with not much to feed the Auto-Encoder.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/44c07a86-932e-4d18-835d-a37c25e2f58a2020-08-2511 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Masterplan is back!It really is fun to see Masterplan back. Plus, Krzap (sorry, not gonna try to spell it out) is a weird but fun Maverick in Sanctum. Of all houses to put it in - but it's still going to be very strong against non-MM decks.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/6cdcac01-0a44-4574-b058-1f3d29f31c772020-08-2210 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Z-Force is SO COOLThis deck has a pretty nice Saurian setup - Nero is very interesting - and I'm never sad to see Font of the Eye. But the Z-Force stuff in Star Alliance seems extra extra fun. Makes me miss Light of the Archons, but good even without it.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/d28d3716-d571-4124-a015-f5c6cb96122b2020-08-1815 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Nothing is staying on the boardThis deck has an INSANE amount of direct damage and straight destruction. It'll be a challenge to keep our own creatures out, let alone the opponent's.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/f7251b1a-06b2-4e15-a27e-8c7c974733302020-08-1513 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!There are cool tools here if you can use them rightGleeful Mayhem with Angwish is a great stop, while 2x Lethologica should get us to Ultra Graviton pretty fast. Snudge + Infurnace is nightmarish, and Opportunist is pretty nice for the Elusive even if it didn't have the capture.Decklist: https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/c271d01b-8606-4090-bec3-76f434ef6c232020-08-1112 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Leaders Beware!This is really a lot of board control actions, plus ways to go crazy messing with aember.Decklist: https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/1d197ee2-8001-4401-9251-71ced4ea07d82020-08-0913 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!My best MM deck so far3 Rad Penny with 2 of them being enhanced is pretty good, plus Auto-Encoder with Novu Dynamo and two -Bots is great. The Transporter Platform has multiple avenues for craziness. BUT there is one auto-discard card. Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/576fb8c0-a2e6-4b0b-a105-f31a3e7998582020-08-0817 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!It's so nice to have Sanctum back!The control from some of these cards is insane. Also, The Pale Star is a pretty cool card, especially when you can use it with damage enhancements and Logos plinks.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/9c607483-90e0-4c25-93b9-db72c84983322020-08-0614 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Wild Bounty is the new Song of the WildConvince me I'm wrong! 2 Rad Penny is really nice, and Exchange Officer is always going to be fun. Bumblebird and Wild Bounties are a bit of a draw, but Po's Pixes, Fandango and Ghosthawk make for a lot of value.Decklist: https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/77fc88ec-534b-49bf-a6dd-ccf07f2ac86f2020-08-0617 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Disco Voltron is pretty good!There are some fun combos in here including Pandemonium followed by Aembertracker. Also, enhancements on Q-Mechs are always good.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/7ed0e04d-9ef4-4b86-bc44-63983879f7312020-08-0216 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Untamed in World CollideJulian and I finally got around to talking through all the Untamed cards in Worlds Collide. Follow along at https://bit.ly/dok-wc-untamed.2020-08-011h 56Take That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Dark Harbinger approaches!This deck has a LOT of ways to cheat creature play and use, and potential for some real value -bot reaps. Decklist: https://decksofkeyforge.com/decks/0141e9ab-dfd7-482f-9e91-4552687b7da02020-07-2618 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!"Truth or Dare" and "Aember or Capture"This really is the dream team of aember on creatures in Saurian, but the support for putting the aember there comes mostly from Sanctum. And the Amphora with Gloriana makes for even more fun choices! Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/ae6bf600-6a70-465d-864b-6d09a28439292020-07-2411 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!C. Lapridarius sounds like a strain of bacteriaThe Favian + Zarek really makes for some fun situations, plus the Burning Glares and Subdues really do work on the board control front. But Gambling Den causes the usual problems, and Shoulder Id + Explo-Rover is a nonbo. :DDecklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/1fb6749a-9513-454c-a80b-848f3e1f1b872020-07-1815 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!My First Gigantic Creature!This is pretty exciting, and I am really looking forward to giving it some plays. That said, between Song of the Wild, Savage Clash, and Bumblebird, I'm starting to worry about how I'll feel about Untamed in 3 months. Reclaimed By Nature is still great, though!Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/1bf832e6-3964-4cdb-9018-d90aa28dc4302020-07-1522 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!We caught a frog of the pond!This deck has a very nice Keyfrog hiding out, but unfortunately I was 3 aember short of killing it to win in the sealed game I played with it. But the card I think I was most excited about in this deck is the Reclaimed By Nature, which has potential to shut down a lot of annoying plans your opponent might have.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/663aac6d-e27a-4c7f-8a3d-6413e9dd9d092020-07-1413 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!My First Mass Mutation Deck!This deck is so very perfect for me. :D It's not perfect, but it seems to really want to control the board, and has a ton of capture. There's no Brachus, but the new Saurian has some fun ways to deal with captured Aember. I love it.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/128e7c95-9fb8-4d42-81e0-db5371541f082020-07-1114 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Rules Updates at Mass Mutation LaunchYes, you heard me...rules updates!

There are a lot of cards in here that can be high impact if they fire at the right time, but that's a big if!Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/52259c8f-50be-4ac5-a5c6-be41b6de9f3a2020-07-0610 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Dis in Mass Mutation!Mark and I discuss all the Dis cards in Mass Mutation!

Weird. Anyway, this deck has a good amount of ways to spot-kill creatures, and some capture-based aember control. But is it fast enough?Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/20a1de90-9bf8-418c-b846-6f1c8665ba2c2020-05-1610 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!This deck won't play itselfThis deck has a lot of potential, but it's not simply a matter of playing cards and getting bonus aember. It wants to own the board, so that you can draw ALL the cards.Decklist: keyforgegame.com/deck-details/419392c5-f4a0-4758-a391-e3cba8faa8f62020-05-1412 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Sometimes you lose...This deck is funny, but I think the joke's on me. There's no way I'd bring something with Crassosaurus + Exile to Reversal, but if you take that out of the picture it's almost bad enough. :( Sometimes, the pieces just don't fall together.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/3cfba5f9-aa74-47cd-85c8-3afbadbebcf32020-05-0910 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Sometimes, Sealed lets you sneak some stuff.First off, reminder that Mars is weird. Second, I managed to pilot this to 2-2 in Sealed. Some of that might be attributable to me playing it well, but also a good portion of it goes to other people expecting really strong plays out of Logos and Shadows, which I just didn't actually have. I don't think it could do nearly as well in Archon.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/8f875069-5bcb-4f76-85c6-59873322d3ac2020-05-0714 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!The Edai dream...2x Edai is pretty good, Ronnie + Kymoor is a real possibility, and a decent Brobnar rounds out this thoroughly decent deck. It  most shines in aember control, but has enough board control (2x Hock helps!) to perform pretty well.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/9d5b3dbc-4238-4d01-819a-bccc48eb8b402020-05-0212 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Solid high-middling CoTa. :PSo many of these cards (Lash, Bumpsy, Shooler, Chota, Challenge, Control the Weak) need to come at the right times to be effective. If you shuffle right, you're probably in good shape, but you may be in for frustration otherwise!Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/7ad25fec-f37a-49d7-91cf-1781c3659e182020-04-3010 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Speaking of dragons...don't forget this one!I just wish the effect were as good as the art. :) The rest of this deck is fairly mediocre as well, with E'e probably being the best thing going in the deck.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/6d292291-932e-4a88-bbbc-56cf212a81f22020-04-2514 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!More Dragons for the Dragon PrincessYeah, this one became property of my daughter shortly after I opened it. It is missing an actual Kelifi Dragon, but the cool board control tools in Brobnar and Sanctum still make it pretty dragonesque, while the Untamed has great tricks of its own.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/41c9cd02-51b3-43bb-b34b-3743abd20a5c2020-04-2309 minSerious Angler Bass Fishing PodcastSerious Angler Bass Fishing PodcastEp. #68 KYLE VANDEVER | Filming in the Fishing Industry | Videographer & Photographer for Brandon PalaniukSend us a textIn today's podcast, I have on Kyle Vandever, the photographer and videographer for Brandon Palaniuk.

In the ideal case, it lets you burn through the deck very quickly, archiving the Dis for a mega steal turn later on while controlling the board. However, for combo decks it's also important to look at how the deck will perform when the combo doesn't hit. In this case, it's still pretty good. I've played it a bit since recording this video, and one of the cooler flows that came up was the ability to keep warding the Cincinnatus with cards drawn by the Philophosaurus, meaning it could control even really...2020-04-1822 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Manipulate all the costs!This deck has a whole lot of cool tools, and ought to be able to race pretty fast. It has some nice tools for keeping its own creatures on the board, but its removal tools are...unreliable.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/0b2d0219-3073-4bb2-88c6-d695f3b81a7f2020-04-1613 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!WC really relies on synergyWhile the Dis in this deck is nothing to write home about, the Saurian and Shadows have some good stuff going on. In CotA, I think just having good stuff can often be enough. But in Worlds Collide, this just doesn't quite get us there, and I think it leaves this deck solidly in the middle of the pack.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/61c9db29-bf0d-44ab-9f60-b23b30aad5702020-04-1116 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Double Val! This is a really fun setup.Two copies of Val Jericho can lead to some VERY fun gameplay. Generally the Brobnar in this deck means we have pretty strong board control, and the Star Alliance builds on that. Triple Vines with Rustgnawer (and upgrades to make Rustgnawer big) means we can probably keep key artifacts off the table. But where this deck struggles is in the area of aember control. Igon is our only possible way to reduce the opponent's aember, and he really is Terrible!Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/9139a71c-206a-4baa-907c-482ade1bd17e2020-04-0918 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Most of these Doubles are good!This has a pretty nice board presence, and the ability to really punish the opponent once you have control of the board. Caendle is a sneaky MVP card, in my opinion.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/f450d830-796c-457a-99c5-20ddb0cd25af2020-04-0517 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!A GREAT Legacy, but does it fit in the deck?My wishlist for a WC deck with Legacy Arise!:InfurnaceInfurnaceInfurnaceInfurnaceDecklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/fbdbca1f-79d9-4c81-8649-691c5a83a5682020-04-0414 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Your aember went down and mine went up?

It has potential to do better than that, too. And, I opened it randomly out of a display I acquired to play casually with family. Fun stuff!

I had to win twice in a row at the end. Let's take a look at my decks and some swag. :) Deck 1: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/784b4fbe-28da-4e96-bfd5-85a3c8f58306 Deck 2: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/9269af80-b0cc-4631-a9f4-d0fd36c7dff42020-01-2234 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Is this FINALLY too much capture mitigation?I think I may have finally hit a Saurian build that has so many capture mitigation cards that it crowded out other stuff. But with Logos and two Ghosthawks, it still might be ok.Decklist: https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/63fc3987-b56e-4c83-a797-5ab4016900cb2019-12-2412 minTake That, Smartypants!Take That, Smartypants!Reap in peaceOuch, the amount of domination we can achieve if this deck has board control (which is pretty likely, actually) is insane. I think Brobnar is sort of the new Mars, in that the combos are less obvious, but this is brutal. BTW, last I checked FFG had confirmed that Jargogle's Destroyed effect will play all the cards from under it.

Testing is in order.
