6:30 I would say that Nevermore is a better equivalent (and also on budget(
6:27 so funnyest thing ever was playing minn whily illusion and she got imprisoned and I didn't have removel so I ended up playing "extraplanar lens" XD well if I ever play another land called minn whily illusion it taps for 2 XDDDD …… Then I got imprisoned again TT
9:00 Sundrop go berrr
Witch of the Moors is pure fire
I will say volcanic to torent is amazing in ruako deak wen you get to copper it for 2 more mana
With all due respect, I don't consider YT shorts as "videos".
I cast an Apex Devastator with Mosswort Bridge the other day lmao
Rampant rejuvenater is an all star in my kodama of the west tree deck
As far as the Volcanic Torrent, I myself was kinda put off by the 5 mana value but I didn't really factor in the cascade value. Definitely going to try it out now
You know what be a cool vid if you guys did a tier list of all the alternate arts of sets. I think that would be cool 🙏
"Sound Warning" xD
All of these cards are budget for a reason. Better cards that do the same thing for less mana exist and don't die to removal.
I love mosswort bridge in my yarok deck! Double hideaway triggers or more with spark double or one of the sakashimas. You can cast all the cards under it with one activation too! I confirmed this with judges
reckless fireweaver in my jolene deck is an allstar, nothing like pumping out 20 treasures and 20 dmg lol
Witch of the Moors is a weird card, I definitely wouldn't say it's better than Sheoldred, but in the right deck it certainly is. I remember when it first came out, it cost enough that I just couldn't justify it, especially as I was trimming out life gain from the deck that would want the effect the most. It might be worth a look in a deck that can gain life more consistently, it's a strong effect obviously.
Thieving Amalgam IIRC is bad card draw too. You can flip those Manifests according to Gatherer, especially if your deck can make off-colour mana, you get something better and it's still going to have the drain on death.
Rampant rejuvenator gets basics equal to its power, not number of +1/+1 counters. That's why kessig wolfrun can be so ham in Henzie!
While wild growth is great an better than llanowar it’s still the same issue. Can’t really say it’s a llanowar with haste cause if turn one you play a forest, tap it to cast wild growth and enchant your tapped forest. You still have to wait for your next turn to get anything out of it. It just better because it’s harder to remove from the board
White also has a version of imprison in the moon that turns them into a treasure.
Blue recently got 2 in new kappenna that turns them into a 1/1 with no abilities and another that turns them into a clue token.
I actually want to buid tha liara poryr deck now but I dont know how to build it lol. Its pretty versatile, you can build it for stax, arrifacts, extra combats, or just good old fashioned beat downs. A myriad deck might also be really good.
I played mosswort bridge for the first time after buying it because i was curious. I got an infinite mana source and was able to flash it in so it didn’t have summoning sickness and it was instantly my favorite new card
Love your content
Best budget card is easily storm crow
BUDGET BAAAAMMMS
It's interesting to watch you write off Xenagos' Ulti like that, because he's generating mana vs. affecting opponents in any way he's easy to forget about and I'm regularly able to Ult him and drop 3+ fat creatures off the top of my deck for free. It's relevant, he has almost no down side
Moxfield guess: 18:32
You guys should hype up grave titan so people think it's good, and then it's better alternatives will be budget bahms.

I was playing a game on mtgo and my opponent cast primal surge. I had mosswort bridge on the field with casualties of war hid away. I caught concordant cross roads and akromas memorial then they scooped. As salty as the ocean.
Laezel is a great card. I've used it in my Elenda deck and it just does so much. And is a critter I can eat ta boot. I think the price is so low because her art is God awful. She is ugly as sin.
"My last commander turned into the moon."
"That's rough, buddy."
We need a Nitpicking Nerds playmat!
Volcanic Torrent is definitely finding a place in my Krark deck. That's amazing.
We want more Wrestling shirts!!! I dropped an elbow from the top rope onto that like button.
I've got Thieving Amalgam near the top end of my Myrkul deck. Funny thing is, Myrkul doesn't care if you owned the creature when it dies in order for you to exile it and make an enchantment copy
I remember passing on witch of the moors in a budget deck because it used to be pricier(around $5 or so), but I'm glad to know that it's gone under $1.
But I also like theiving amalgam in my Satoru Umezawa deck since he's best used for getting high cmc creatures out easily and the deck also has a card stealing sub-theme. I think the amalgam's 2nd half effect is pretty decent as long as you can reliably keep stealing opponents' creatures with recurring etb effects on agent of treachery or sepulchral primordial.
I also have volcanic torrent already going right into my spellslinger copy deck
I don't know why rampant rejuvenator is still cheap right now because that card is absolutely staple ramp potential in any deck that uses green, especially since green gives out +1/+1 counters like candy on halloween
Dude, I didn't know Xenagos was budget now either. Last time I looked at him a couple years ago he was around $6-7
25:09 Special guest joins in the bottom right of the video, to make up for the lack of Cat Tribal in this video.
Is it my birthday again?
Love the content guys!
I'm often confused if a card is good on budget vs not a budget. The way I usually figure that out is looking at if it costs more than any combo meal from a fast food joint.
Escape from the wilds is banned
Great episode! Imprisoned in the Moon is taking off. I'm telling people they gotta start running bouncelands again; it's secret tech! I also recommend Master Biomancer in Volo decks, even though it won't get copied; it's just good value.
Rampant Rejuvenator is going into Mimeoplasm for me… Imagine a 10/10 or bigger version swinging every turn before getting blown up and ramping for 10.
Nitpicking picking nerds are back again, are they original yeah are they the only ones yeah, are they ready to bomb your budget everybody rock your body now!
