  1. It's well known that muldrotha decks like mystic remora because you can bring it back and essentially bypass the cumulative upkeep cost. Same with ritual of subdual. Play from your graveyard, then finish your turn with a Subdual, then watch your opponents struggle. Pair this with permanent removal, specifically artifacts and creature, which is common in a muldrotha deck, then you can essentially shut your opponents out of the game. Then in your upkeep, don't laugh upkeep, then play it again.

    This also works with stasis and other cards.

  2. Ritual of Subdual would be just plain rude in my Kinnan deck, which is already loaded up with dorks and rocks and has plenty of room to dump colorless mana 😫I’d feel like an ass but maybe that’s the way to take that deck out of just weirdly-efficient battle cruiser into something more tuned.

  3. I found a pile of Safe Havens in a pile of old cards at my dad’s house last year, and I’ve been considering where it might fit. Maybe in my Yarok deck if I could find room, I have a landfall sub theme and ETBs on everything.

  4. For Righteous Fury, it's definitely got a possible spot in any goad heavy deck in white. You just forced all of your openers to attack each other with everything and then you wipe their fields and still have your own. Definitely has a place where it can be better than the staple wipes.

  5. I'm not sure how to reach out but I'd love a video doing this challenge (CMC). Starting at 0 up until the commander's CMC highlight the quintessential card in that mana spot.

    Here is my light for the Ao, the Dawn Sky deck I am building:

    0: Emeria, the Sky Ruin
    1: Dead-Iron Sledge
    2: Strionic Resonator
    3: Gift of Immortality
    4: Sigil of New Dawn
    5: Ao, the Dawn Sky

  6. How about Stronghold Overseer. A 6 mana 5/5 unblockable creature. That BB ability to +1/0 all creatures with Shadow and -1/-0 all non-shadow until end of turn can be used defensively to lessen combat damage for you or maybe another opponent being attacked.

  7. Absolutely love your content! Been watching consistently since pretty much the beginning .very rarely do i comment but today i just couldn't help myself. 6 mana to destroy all tapped creatures sounds at sorcery speed?!?! That is a laughably bad card especially considering its a white board wipe… unless of course you happen to currently be brewing a gahiji, honored one, forced combat/goad deck, which of course i currently am! Cannot wait to follow up a disrupt decorum or something similar with this! This is why i love commander and why i love your channel. Most cards have a home in at least a few decks, and you appreciate like i do the making low power, high synergy cards shine in the right deck!

  8. Couldn't you run Safe Haven in a deck that focuses on stealing your opponents' creatures as a failsafe to ensure said creatures never return to your opponents' control? That'd be pretty brutal.

  9. Nooo! You gave away one of the secrets to my mono-green Shaman lockdown deck! Sachi was one of my first ever EDH builds years and years ago, and Ritual of Subdual was in there from the beginning. I think Riftsweeper lost its spot in the deck, but it was in there for a long while.

  10. Would be neat to play Safe Haven in a Traitor themed deck. Effects that take opponents creatures until end of turn but before giving them back you exile them. You would never sacrifice it so it would never return the creatures to play.

  11. Revival // Revenge is in 4 of my decks. It's really good. I use it mostly for the revival side, but is stupid in my Orzhov Gain n Drain deck with Kambal. I've gotten my life total to over 500 playing with that deck before, and no one but me in my group uses Voltron.
