  1. Hey demo! Awaken the erstwhile also is a very consistent way to force everybody to discard their hands. Just wanted to mention it cuz I'm not sure if you knew of it!

  2. I've actually been using burnout for a while now in most red decks, because I don't play blue. Great gotcha moment when you stop a cyclonic rift or even just another counterspell, because people don't expect counter magic from my mardu pallet I usually play. (I also learned about lapse of certainty here and use that one too!)

  3. Cabal Conditioning has another contender for that kind of effect in Myojin of Night's Reach. I use it in Marvo, Deep Operative because casting it with Marvo meets Night's Reach's conditions.

  4. Broken Fall sounds great for Gitrog Ravenous Ride will be ordering a copy, thanks for the suggestions

    Edit: upon further review it appears this does not work as you cannot regenerate a sacrificed permanent, still cool card and i learned a new thing.

  5. I will die on this hill, cadaverous bloom is my favorite card of all time. Easily abused and used, love the fact you had it in the video man. I personally like to fill the yard and nature's resurgence for a decent swing of cards and hand, and then just pitch what you don't need to cadaverous bloom. Also pitch 6 cards and finale of devastation for avenger of zendikar? Many, many, shenanigans. Love the channel and the video!!

  6. 1:58 – You can accomplish this even if you pay white along with the black, so long as you wait until the end of combat step. Just like Reconnaissance being able to untap attacking creatures after damage, Batwing Brume can drain the attacking player after damage has been done.
    4:17 – Broken Fall is fairly unique, but it actually has a functional reprint in Molting Skin. And the decks that want one probably want both.

  7. Its a pity but now takes to the indestructible from so many card exile and sacrifice boardwipes are more common then the normal ones. so regenerate works but not so much anymore.

  8. I'm a big fan of Mind Twist for a targeted discard effect. More often than not it'll either burn someone's Counterspell, but if it's untouched, it'll really hinder the opponent's play.

  9. Love these videos. I always see at least one card that is one of my personal favorite “hidden gems” I own most of these and even have quite a few in my decks currently. I still haven’t had a deck where I feel I can use bubble matrix but it’s one card that I want to use just cause it’s so unique. I kinda wanna play it just to mess with the game but that’s fairly foolish.

  10. Brine Shaman is one of my fav pet cards. It's great in commander because everyone has at least one creature they always want to hit the battlefield. Being able to threaten that snub can give you breathing room for a turn or two

  11. I LOVE having burnt offering in my Rakdos Lord of Riots deck. It helps mana fix so well when you can get out those giant creatures early then you ramp hard by sacing one for a ton of colored mana to get your other options out

  12. I know this is a niche request, but can you do one of these videos to share suggestions plumbing the archives on how to stop a Nadu? My pod has two now and with one it was a little goofy archenemy but with two its just not fun.

  13. I have a Jaya tribal deck partially inspired by the task mage video you suggested (discard and make everything blue) Painter’s servant is in the deck and when it’s out it’s just a mono red remand that counters + sick flavour text!

    I did change the theme to be a more discard, storm based deck, and no I didn’t include mizzix mastery. Deck is a house and one of the decks that wins the most in our pod.

    I added the Jaya secret lair + jaya pyroblast and planeswalkers. Deck is just oozing with flavour.

  14. I stopped counting your "very unique" statements. "Unique" means one of a kind. There are no degrees of uniqueness. It's like saying someone is "very dead."

  15. so once again for clarification. i read the errata text for all cards. the updated text can be found on almost any site, like gatherer or scryfall. some of these old cards have some very weird, outdated wording. for example bubble matrix does indeed prevent damage. the original wording on the card is ignored.

  16. Don't forget the original black Miojin. That spirit can make all of your opponents discard their hands as well!
    A friend of mine played it as a finisher in his Cabal Coffers deck back then.

  17. Cadaverous Bloom is the one of the most powerful cards for how little play it sees. In EDH, especially at higher power levels, mana is the premium over card draw. Bloom converts cards into mana; its insanely strong. As well as another favorite of mine, Dream Halls.

  18. Batwing Brume is definitely one of those cards that has aged poorly in the terms of the way the text is written on the card. It would be a lot easier to understand it by rewording the text like a list, like the new versions of the Command cards.
    It should read something like this:
    "-If (W) was spent to cast this spell, prevent all combat damage.
    -If (B) was spent to cast this spell, each player loses life equal to the number of attacking creatures they control.
    (do both if (WB) was spent to cast this spell)"

  19. I’ve actually never seen Brood Keeper either. My guess is that it’s not too popular because red isn’t a big color for auras, but it could be pretty sweet in the right deck
