Path of annihilation is lowkey crazy. If you have a sol ring/mana crypt and cast this turn two thats 9 mana on turn three with just two cards, pretty nutty ramp
Phlage is busted, in kethis it is an alt win con, can be a helix every turn with kethis and if you cast it it hoses your worst matchups
Turn 1 tune the narrative, turn 2 amped raptor into the one ring or Sheoldred? Yikes 😅
I think strix serenade could have made a token that says “this creature’s base power and toughness are equal to the number of opponents you have”
Tamiyo Meets the Story Circle + Urza's Saga + Treasure Cruise makes huge karnstructs…then after you investigate 20 times, Fomori Vault becomes 3 mana discard to tutor the next Urza's Saga, which can search up Expedition Map to tutor up more Urza's Saga, which can tutor up Elixir of Immortality to shuffle all your Urza's Sagas back into your deck so you can play them again!
Urza's Saga.deck:
1 Academy Ruins
3 Boseiju, Who Shelters All
4 Cephalid Coliseum
4 Fomori Vault
2 Hall of Heliod's Generosity
4 Hallowed Fountain
2 Hidden Cataract
3 Meticulous Archive
2 Otawara, Soaring City
4 Reliquary Tower
4 Seachrome Coast
4 Sunken Citadel
4 Tolaria West
4 Urza's Cave
4 Urza's Saga
1 Elixir of Immortality
1 Expedition Map
1 Shadowspear
4 Tamiyo Meets the Story Circle
4 Treasure Hunt
I love having more MDFC
every set is a commander set………….
Ugin’s Binding is the dumbest card I’ve seen since the one ring
We are going from Eldrazi Winter to Hot Eldrazi Summer
Glasswing Grace: Is Overcosted.
Eriette the Beguiler: I see this as an absolute win.
Surprised you wrote off Roil Cartographer as chaff
Didnt know Dockside Extortionist had a sister
I think you are over evaluating the MDFCs.
Strix Serenade +Swan Song + Thing in the ice – so much fun
unrelated to magic, but love the ween shirt!
We could unban uro in today's modern meta.
1:39 earned my like. Thanks for keeping the meme alive.
16:34 Endless One: Am I a joke to you?
Path of Annihilation is not going to be just draft chaff, I don't think. I mean, look at the secondary commander in the Eldrazi deck commander deck. Just seems busted.
Looks like there are going to be 2 sets of MDFC mono colored lands? Cause you showed some here that I haven't seen, but there are also Boggart Trawler, Disciple of Freyalise, and Witch Enchanter in black, green, and white respectively.
Personally do not think the red white titan will see much play. The Detectives Phoenix seems substantially better. Costing only red is a big upside and while collect evidence cannot use lands and zero cost spells bestowing means they have two deal with 2/2 twice. It coming in as a non creature helps the prowess as well. The titan in Mardu seems very unlikely. Sorin just being Rakdos looks way more likely with either the old titan or the phoenix that works very well on Sorin himself to flip him.
Phlage is not going in burn. 3 mana Lightning Helix, we never get to a position were we can escape it, and if we do we already lost the game.
"This might be the worse MDFC"
"That's it- the one I've been waiting for." Walks it to his stun counter Commander deck that is desperate for anything that lets you stun your own creatures "Soon, you'll be playable… Just a few more cards…"
How is Roil Cartographer just a jank? Getting energy for land drops look like it has some potential.
can you use a voice over please
There is a blue flicker that hits lands as well for 2 mana so u can get this eldrazi out turn 2 swinging turn 3
That white MDFC…I think you are wayyyyy off on that one. It must be the best of the bunch…maybe the best mdfc yet for 60 card formats? White based agro decks will be able to play 4 of these and be able to always make bad looking attacks because they can use these to even things out, or even just the threat of having one of these in hand kinda does the trick a lot of times. Kinda the first mdfc for agro decks that actually works like an mdfc should. Neat. The green one isn't dissimilar, actually maybe even better now that i realize it can still do the pump effect without any fight targets.
Phlage seems pretty good in boros burn as a finisher I'd play it as a 2 of
Double strike is better than double power + first strike in… a lot of cases. Damage triggers are a thing.
The new swan song counters the evoke elementals and stops you getting double griefed turn 1
I think the trouble is that we now know as a playerbase that generally, if a card isn't as obviously busted as Uro, it's not gonna make the cut. Power creep is such that anything which is a maybe at release becomes unplayable within 6 months. Gone are the days when a card can be a sleeper for 6 years until someone discovers a powerful synergy because cards cannot afford to only be synergy pieces. If they don't do everything at the best rate possible, then they're pretty much dead weight.
Phlage js so underrated while not as good as Uro in a jeskia control shell its a great way to stave of aggro decks especially in arena where aggro is a very popular archtype on both historic and tineless ladder. Getting rid of a bidy and getting is awesome
The boros titan is a lightning helix? Who'd have thought it. I don't think it'll be bad, but it's super predictable.
Strix serenade kinda works like that 2 mana counter spell in standard with “casualty”, by giving up a piece if you pair it with a bounce cantrip.
