Francis CowperHOST
And then game three I got ...
Francis CowperHOST
I had, like, a Lavinia, Containment Priest sideboard plan, and that got me there.
Francis CowperHOST
But yeah, it was nice to play against Gareth, and yeah, moving on bas- basically.
Francis CowperHOST
[laughs]
Jasper Murison-BowieHOST
I mean, fair enough.
Jasper Murison-BowieHOST
Sounds like it was ...
Jasper Murison-BowieHOST
I mean, back and forth, but in the end, uh, Lavinia and Containment Priest, uh, seems pretty good against Omnitall.
Francis CowperHOST
Yeah, I think it got to the position where the only way out of it he had without removing my creatures was, like, Show and Tell Omniscience cast Emrakul.
NealeHOST
I'm still fairly novice at cubing.
NealeHOST
And one card that also jumps out at me is Containment Priest, which feels like a bit of a silver bullet against a lot of the strategies that are in the cube.
BrettGUEST
Mm.
NealeHOST
And so what is, like, the general philosophy for you to put a card that will kind of completely hose someone else's gameplay? We're talking about a lot of clerics here.
AdamHOST
And why I say that is Reanimator can be beaten by essentially any other deck if they have the sideboards correct for it.
AdamHOST
And so again, you have your Leylines, you have the Containment Priest.
AdamHOST
A meta of Containment Priest is the most miserable thing as a Reanimator player.
AdamHOST
[laughs] So I am praying that-
KyleHOST
Right
KyleHOST
Yeah
AdamHOST
... had against you.
AdamHOST
It's like, I literally just scoop sometimes game one if someone has Containment Priest.
SeanHOST
Uh, we died to Sweeney in two turns.
SeanHOST
He, he was able to put a Hullbreaker Horror on the stack, and then even with all the interaction that we had, I think Brett put a Containment Priest on the battlefield.
SeanHOST
We had a Silence on the stack.
SeanHOST
We had multiple bounce spells on the, the Hullbreaker Horror and the Valley Floodcaller that he was using to tap and untap his birds.
SeanHOST
Um, Sweeney was able to respond to all that, put everything back out, bounce the Containment Priest.
SeanHOST
I mean, the man's just a witch, man.
SeanHOST
He's so good at navigating a stack and fighting that war.
Andy MangoldHOST
Or if there's two, you can kind of put them under the cards that they're making copies of or something to make it more clear.
BrettGUEST
What's your position on hate bears in a cube like this? I have Containment Priest in there currently, and maybe one other thing that turns off Hushwing Griff.
Andy MangoldHOST
I saw Hushwing Griff.
Andy MangoldHOST
Hushwing Griff is so much cooler than Containment Priest and similar.
Andy MangoldHOST
It's not as powerful, but it's got the right vibes.
Andy MangoldHOST
You know, it's funny.
Andy MangoldHOST
And there's a fair number of things that do have ETBs.
Andy MangoldHOST
There's clearly a whole blink deck here.
Phil BlechmanHOST
I, I think Triumph is, is dedicated to the Cutter decks.
Phil BlechmanHOST
And then you have a Lavinia and a Surgical Extraction and a Containment Priest.
Phil BlechmanHOST
So pr- pretty straightforward stuff, but, like, outside of the, outside of that Failure deck, all of the other ones have the capacity to kill you-
Zac ClarkHOST
Fast.
Phil BlechmanHOST
... not, I, I think Triumph is, is dedicated to the Cutter decks.
Phil BlechmanHOST
And then you have a Lavinia and a Surgical Extraction and a Containment Priest, so p- pretty straightforward stuff.
Phil BlechmanHOST
But, like, outside of the, outside of that Felida deck, all of the other ones have the capacity to kill you-
Zac ClarkHOST
Fast.
Rebell LilyGUEST
So I would have, like, seven or eight cards per, like, this...
Rebell LilyGUEST
In my deck list, like, I have a Containment Priest, a blank, I forgot, like, all the other cards.
Rebell LilyGUEST
Like, Containment Priest, Red Blast, uh, and some other stuff, specifically for Kinnan.
KyleHOST
Yeah.
Rebell LilyGUEST
Um, and then, like, this many cards for, like, opposing T & K deck.
Kevin CronHOST
There's no Swords to Plowshares.
Kevin CronHOST
And then the Esper variant of that, which has the cards I just mentioned, mainly Swords to Plowshares, mainly Lavinia, and some sideboard cards like Containment Priest, for example.
Kevin CronHOST
Those are the dominant two control variants of Lurrus.
Kevin CronHOST
They have a lot in common.
Brian CovalHOST
He's probably coming right back.
Phil GallagherHOST
So Containment Priest is a great card to talk about to show off this difference.
Phil GallagherHOST
If you are playing against Cradle Control and they have things like Greensun that you can shut off with Containment Priest, that card's incredibly good.
Phil GallagherHOST
Whereas this Hogak deck is running Containment Priest in its own sideboard because it doesn't care about that stuff.
Phil GallagherHOST
And this Hogak deck has a bunch of things that make people like Bryant mad.
Phil GallagherHOST
Like, this is a Thoughtseize deck that also gets Collector Oof and Gaddock Teague and Deafening Silence all at the same time.
