we did it, we broke [[Panglacial Wurm]]
Okay is there an actual application for this
your $1000 foil? my $1000 foil
[[Panglacial Wurm]]
Lmao just played a match against a Boros token deck that used [[dusk rose reliquary]] to try and hit my enchantment curiosity g1. Then in g2 they attempted to use it to hit Kaito and immediately scooped
You would think after missing the target the first time you'd read your card the second
alph do i need to point you to the multiples of ketramose screenshots i have

ppl are stupid
Sucks to be the control player and have no cards
I also don't get why control boards in authority against Dimir??? That feels incorrect
idk why you're boarding in authority period over high noon/rest in peace tbh, regardless of matchup
I dunno, if I made the same mistake twice in a match in mythic I'd delete the game
Surely you go all in on creature tutors and remove ouroboroids, no? 
it's just that i don't get why is this sultai when you play 5 blue cards
why do you want marang in this
riddler is w/e
superior?????
what do you copy, the behemoth you milled with your, count, one overlord?

like yeah this works but it has a very big question mark on why
Pretty sure you just copy speaker, ouroboid or craterhoof depending on your options/game state
Also I’m curious because I really never seen this card, we got a 2 mana mill 4 on a body in Lorwyn that adds back a creature or a land?
[[midnight tilling]]
Instant
Mill four cards. You may put a permanent card from among the cards milled this way into your hand. If you control a Squirrel or returned a Squirrel card to your hand this way, create a Food token. (To mill four cards, put the top four cards of your library into your graveyard. A Food token is an artifact with "
,
, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")
it's something to keep in mind once bloomburrow rotates ig
[[luwen imperfect naturarilist]]
Legendary Creature — Elf Druid
When Lluwen enters, mill four cards, then you may put a creature or land card from among the milled cards on top of your library.



,
, Discard a land card: Create a 1/1 black and green Worm creature token for each land card in your graveyard.
"I know I belong somewhere—just not here."
1/3
oh him?
yeah
I was like, no way this guy isn’t crazy
Mana’s good enough to justify greed piles tbh
Wow it's two mana lumra
Where 
Isn't she like super dead?
Isnt her whole thing reviving from the dead
this card is hilarious but triple blue is so prohibitive
Also this could just be a jeskas will reprint in the archives
is there any etb in monoblue good enough where you actually want this?
Yeah but her lore ends with her phasing out of existence while hugging her brother
this wouldn't surprise me
6 7
So she’ll come back on her turn 
gain "evoke - exile a blue card from your hand."
blink lists are about to go crazy as fuck
draw 2 discard 2 -> pitch a blue card for atraxa, flicker atraxa
Dammit. First legendary Noggle and he's an alchemy card
Infestation is cool ig
Doesn't feel like there's ever a reason to evoke it tho
Ain’t that a pain in the ass
[[blowfly infestation]]
if you evoke it then it puts another -1/-1 counter on a creature since infestation says "each"
I'm sure there's payoffs for stuff dying with counters otherwise too
[[massacre girl]]
People just be playing anything
Mono-Black annoying card tribal
Although ngl, you're also just playing anything
I see 5c mana and a caretakers out
Building dimir azula. Lots of people build her as a theft commander, but she doesn't actually reward you for doing that. Blink looks better.
My experience trying new decks
they really reinvented peak

10 tweet long thread to apologize for winning a cedh game btw
Quoting Jason D. (@FenoDreams)
︀
Hi everyone,
︀︀
︀︀I want to publicly acknowledge and take responsibility for a choice I made during my Round 2 game at Royal Rumble 2 last Saturday.
God we just gotta shit down Cedh
I think we actually have to shit on commander players
I cannot think of a player base who got more enraged that their easily broken format got… broken
Yes because commander players would rather spend 12 hours politicking than playing the actual game
It’s really really funny whenever a 60 card content creator plays commander on yt or something and every time they try to start politics they just go wtf are you doing
Holy shit Mana Pool knocked my $400 cart down to $280
I don’t have Twitter, what’s that 10 thread thing say 
Tbh id say rhythm is the best ban, giving a big mana deck 8 tutors alongside their 4 tutors is kind of crazy
Shit is the death note meme where light writes the name and it either turns into hell on earth or utopia
To leave it as it is, or to risk making the format dogshit with 1 hit
Nah rhythm is dogshit without cub
True but they’re not gonna ban cub so early
6 mana for boid is a big ask when your stuff doesn't all tap for 2
Cub is absolutely the correct hit
Theyre gonna kill something for cub’s sins
Standard becomes super balanced with it gone
Without cub cheating the mana, rhythm gets much weaker
Also llanowar elves might get hit just because of cub’s sins (yet again)
The point being theyre not gonna hit cub because it’s too new but will ban something because it’s too good 
Called Sultai rep going way up
Also I rather leave standard as is. Meta is pretty healthy, we don’t want a situation like the list before we hit Vivi where we hit too many things and standard was borderline unplayable until Vivi finally did get hit
There’s also no reason to hit cub rn, unless you’re just a Dimir player that wants that mid ass deck to finally be anything but mid
I mean, 40% of the field is on cub rhythm piles
As a Dimir player, Dimir is good rn
But I think standard opens up a ton with cub dead
It really doesn't lol. If we kill Cub, more than half the decks will just be elemental piles, and then what? We going to ask for Deceit to get hit?
Nah, I think those decks move a lot slower and are fairer
Slower and fairer means more interaction
Cub has the issue that they can have 7-10 mana up on t3
I've heard Deceit be called a lot of things, Fair is not one of them
Deceit is thoughtseize at BB
That's literally fine
For 1UUBB you basically get a bigger ravenous chupacabra
Also there's decks that are severely underexplored, like the new boros dragon aggro brew. I rather give this meta at least another month+ for people to settle in
Also, if the majority of meta is cub piles, that benefits Sultai the most
“I can’t wait for this bullshit to be hit so my fair and honest archetype can make it to the top!”
I mean a lot of the piles would get better without cub too
Standard currently requires you answering a 2/2 on 2 or losing the game
That's a rough check sometimes
you can also just check the entire board on 3
Meta going away from Split Up just happened because Bant can't afford to side it and no other deck in the top 10 splashes white rn
Split up doesn't do it cleanly
Half their dorks will be tapped
So you can't just take the whole board
that was just one example, you got pinnacle starcage which forces them to have wist, the red board wipe that deals 2 to everything, there's options out there, people are just willingly choosing to race the cub decks instead
Also even with split up if you deal with half the board
You’re still good idk
This is the same way people were talking about cub when avatar first came out and it certainly wasn’t true then
The decks are a lot better post lorwyn but please just let it cook for more than a week 
Also, people actually ran split up in that PT that cub didn't do shit and lessons dominated
Nah theyre the ones setting the ban timeline, ban them all 
oh yeah that's a card some people are playing over murky
There's a second rhythym so like
Not one that’s 2 tutors in 1 card
Theyre not banning cub this early
Tarkir’s at least been a year already
I think it's more likely they just let it fester for a bit like vivi
Yeah paying 7 for Riddler feels bad if they don't have 8 on 3
send him to the time loop
azorius definitely makes the worst pizza
I wonder if they've even heard of pizza
I think izzet would get freaky with the toppings (affectionate) and I agree with simic getting freaky with the toppings (derogatory)
I like strawberries on pizza 
Then Brazilian pizza is just for you
dimir are the kind of people to keep their recipes under wraps tightly
I feel like dimir would be like
Anchovies on pizza
That sounds too normal
So a calzone?
no
but a calzone is wrapped tightly 
I think boros would prob make the most normal pizza here idk
the drama about lying in cedh reminds me of a classic line from a game that, for some reason, has very different opinions on the same things
"of course i lied, it's poker"
meanwhile poker community: "noooo you can't use data to study, that's cheating"
Not the best at deckbuilding so looked up a few lists online and ive been having a blast with this
Avatar in there thinking he's part of the team
[[Rite of Flame]] [[Take Inventory]]
Definitely building them in Brawl
People are just playing whatever with the elementals huh?
5c Reanimate Elementals
It's the Grixis list but splashing for green and ardynn
Love losing a winning game (mirror, their build is much worse) because I kept a 3 lander and never drew a 4th land...
Welp lost multiple cedh games due to going fourth and being one stack position too low
Every game the opponent had another push above my consecutive pushes/protection
Simply go first I guess
Simply just get better at rolling dice lmao
should've negotiated a couple more hours maybe
With the deck I had, I probably could’ve drawn the games if there were time limits
It was nice playing with a pod whose mentality was “fuck negotiations just play the game” though
It did come up time to time but was always policed
Seat four sucks yeah
What does stack position mean? Your opponents won over top?
or is it like when it comes to responding to stuff
Both
If seat order was slightly different I would have won on top of their attempts instead of the other way around
so premodern is good and looks like it's going to be the next bigger fan formats
especially after that parallax tide ban
idk if it'll get big enough to have big events though, even pauper's been struggling a bit with that
kinda crazy how good a 3 card combo to kill all your opponent's board and lands was back then though
Well even just the wave combo was very strong
Tide is just cherry on top
Ppl still play some opalescence wave stuff
yeah, it's pretty strong but nowhere near the top anymore
i'm sad survival nightmare isn't top tier anymore either
i am surprised at the number of people who are speccing on psychatog though
who could've seen that coming
Didn't literally everyone say this would happen during spoiler season lol
Maybe there shouldn't be two cards with near identical art and names with similar effects
I still love how a card this guy made for his cube is shaking every format
a creature tutor with a fat ass and an untap built in seems like the right way to do that
True!
It’s basically monstrous rage for this deck
Finally gonna go full swing into playing more Standard among some other formats. Looking to learn Dimir Midrange for Standard, any tips?
Probably just netdeck a PT list, play it, learn it and then make changes according to your playstyle
I play a TON of Dimir, it's my favorite deck
I can help with any questions and guides you'd need
I'm in numbered mythic rn, and this is the list I'm running
A big thing to keep in mind is not to be afraid to pass the turn with full mana up
You're a tempo deck and wanna play in their turn, 90% of your deck is instants/has flash
Honestly, I'm debating cutting spyglass siren and playing a 3/3 split on Bitterbloom Bearer and Flitterwing Nuisance
That’s how I understand midrange as a concept in a Magic context
Going as fast or as slow as you need at the time
But Bitterbloom is a $20 card and I don't want to spend $60
Yeah you dictate the tempo
They play at the speed you want
And don't be afraid to flash in a curiousity just the block
Makes sense given how the Enduring Cycle works
After work luck kicking in
Woop woop!
Designing a new MH4 card:
Altar of the Arisen Necropolis
Legendary Enchantment - {G/B} {G/B}
Once per turn, you may play a creature card from your graveyard. It gains Convoke, Delve, and "You can't spend mana to cast this spell".
Remember when [[diamond weapon]] could’ve done a hogaak impression
I wish that deck was actually playable
My other bold new idea for MH4: we're pushing shrines real hard by making Yorion, Uro, and Nadu into shrines
kinda wild how they made shrines mainstream with avatar
is harmonizer not a cub deck too?
Harmonizer is an aggro deck
nah harmonizer is the combo deck using full bore and [[mightform harmonizer]] to otk
Creature — Insect Druid
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, double the power of target creature you control until end of turn.
Warp 
(You may cast this card from your hand for its warp cost. Exile this creature at the beginning of the next end step, then you may cast it from exile on a later turn.)
4/4
1 land drop on is 14 damage, 2 land drops (doable with passage or icetill) is 28
Yeah that’s aggro to me, it otk’s on 3 or 4
It does have the ability to stabilize with Icetill so idk what we would call it
the earliest it can kill is 5 and the rest of the deck is card selection and control though
oh wait no earliest is 4, passage works
but yeah the rest of the deck is pretty controlling
Don’t they play llanowar? I was under the assumption they did, if not yeah, 4 is the earliest
nope only creatures are 1 wist, 3 icetill, 4 harmonizer
very interesting deck
it was something like 10 cub answers in the main also
Oh huh, I thought they ran wist and vibrance, I assumed vibrance to fetch passage
Also since vibrance doubles as removal
Well so much for pope saying cub needs to be hit (for today). Let’s see how sub fares tomorrow
i still think green should get hit somewhat but the elementals pile... wow
tapout control at its finest
stablize against cub with vibrance early game and sunderflock mid game, go for back to back haymakers late game, pretty good
of course they board in a bunch of cards to hit cub in the board but damn that deck looks sick
I think in a bigger list we probably hit superior Spiderman and cub together, along with other stuff, I just don’t see it as necessary anytime soon
where's options 11-15?
I noticed all 5 of the strixhaven precons have a mascot on the cover, possibly the secondary commanders
(yes I didnt see the owl face and pointed to it's wing)
ootter
elemental otter lobster
that owl art goes hard as hell
The owl looks sick ye
Nah it looks pretty healthy to me ngl
Welp cedh tournament soon, time to go to time every game
Well, not yet but in about half a day
Expecting it to go another half day
kinda wondering why [[faeburrow elder]] didn't get an erratum to include vivid considering it has the exact same text to add mana as bloom tender
it got reprinted in a lorwyn commander deck too
Vivid is an ability word, not actual rules text. It technically doesn't do anything
ik, I just figured since they put it in for bloom tender in the same set they'd update it for this too
it doesn't do anything, but it makes it easier to read
Well that top 8 was probably the best one I’ve watched at a major mtg tournament
Trying something new here, Sygg has been really overperforming for me here
So yeah looks like I'm definitely getting this
ready for the sauceless mana base, at least its a 43 new card precon
Thank you son
[[restless anchorage]]
Cedh is a meme format
Had fun but damn
The game really just turns into yapping and fishing for draws
Did you get your 1 point little one
Woke up, played 10 ladder games, lost none. Every game I drew Sygg was a stomp
Also Sygg’s protection randomly came up in this game
Wall 
Hmm do I build Dimir Excruciatiator to test it?
If you already have Sultai built it’s an easy pivot
If not, I would say no
I have most of Dimir in paper
I'd just need the deceits, Spiderman, and Excruciatiators
wtf are you facing lol
oh probably some shit with [[soul immolation]] ?
Pretty sure it was a standard mono green build with wall. I think they were trying to top deck into ouroboid or rhythm but it never came
Wait I’m just realizing now that it was a gruul deck lol
yeah I think it's a soul immolation one shot meme
idk what else you're doing in gruul with that much mana + wall
I'm p sure I have all the cards on arena. Moreso meant irl
I think the deceits are money, but I don't think the rest is?
Deceits are $30???? Guess I'm not pivoting to Excruciatiator
card is bonkers
It's good yeah, but I don't think it's $120 a playset good
I already own pretty much everything else in this list tho
Disagree tbh
If anything I think it should be higher
Nah, it's a good card, but 2 mana for a thoughtseize or 5 to destroy target permanent isn't format warping
In no world is it it a bad card, but I don't think it's crazy
Like I said last week, 2 mana thoughtseize is cool, but 4 mana thoughtseize + bounce + body is game winning a lot of the time
dimir "send target permanent to the graveyard" ez
I mean it's usually 5 to get the body + bounce + thoughtseize
Think I might order 3 boxes of Lorwyn as a birthday present to myself
It's 4 with Kavero yeah, but you won't always be using him for that
I mean thoughtseize into thoughtseize again with kavaero sounds pretty nice to me
Every list that plays Kavero does have better targets, but it's definitely a strong synergy
Oh yeah it's tough to be on the receiving end of that
In Dimir? There’s no 4 mana play better than that for superior Spiderman lol
It was literally the go to play in the PT
Kaito is rn imo
Nothing is running removal for Kaito outside of reanimator
And that's a free MU for midrange
isn't deceit a 6 [[deceit]]
Creature — Elemental Incarnation
When this creature enters, if 
was spent to cast it, return up to one other target nonland permanent to its owner's hand.
When this creature enters, if 
was spent to cast it, target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card.
Evoke 

5/5
Yeah
[[vibrance]]
The worst one by far is emptiness
But yeah, Deceit is great, especially with Kavero
But I think there's a very strong merit to regular Dimir too rn
I mean, there was a regular Dimir in the top 8 also
Dimir mid had a good showing at this PT. But we already know that if Dimir mid ever takes off, the deck is stupid easy to build for/side against
There’s almost no reason not to go the excruciator build
As opposed to mid
I think Dimir mid being good is a decent indicator of format health yeah
And RN is mostly healthy so that's promising
I told you not to worry about the cub
Dimir Mid can never really be the "best deck" but it's always gonna be strong in healthier formats
Turns out when you run outs to the cub, the deck just folds, who knew
I can see the appeal of Excruciatiator but I figure it'll come down to some more testing if it's truly the best deck in the format or just caught everyone off guard
That boros dragon brew I was hyping up also topped, which is a very good sign for the meta
I can see both outcomes
But it's like when Vampires and Tree Combo popped up in Pioneer
Both decks were initially good because no one expected them
Or I guess Lessons in standard
Lessons is in this weird place where it's both fraudulent and you have to respect it tho
Lessons feels like the bar in standard rn
Most of the time it's dogshit, but every once in a while it's just unbeatable
Like if your deck can’t 50/50 vs lessons
lessons are the only deck I have wildcards for but it's not my playstyle 😭
If they can get online before you you're fucked
Then you shouldn’t be playing the deck
I think lessons is good but I also think way more people are playing lessons than there would normally be relative to its actual power level
But if you stop them in any capacity their individual pieces don't do enough
Yeah, like lessons isn’t amazing or anything
I think lessons is better with better pilots obv
But I think there's just too many interaction points they fold on
Like I said, you do have to respect lessons
But I think it's also not the Boogeyman it was made out to be
striker was the strongest deck forever though
Yeah I think lessons is more..
BA?
BA was also the strongest deck in multiple formats
Correction; the deck is striker during branded format
It’s a hurdle you need to clear if you want to compete in the meta
I mean when it was made out to be a boogeyman lorwyn also wasn’t out yet
Lorwyn was basically a strictly bad set for that deck
Lessons is in a pretty healthy place right now
Also the issue with lessons is that deck has very little ground to pivot
Few/No cards that the deck includes and helps basically all of the decks it competed with
eh
a 4/4 that gives a +2 or +3 for 4 mana sounds ehhh tbh at this point
and that's only if your other things live
by turn 4 you get stuff like simic establish their stuff and you're facing bodies from dimir into a cat
we also had better targets in avatar, and if that didn't make this remotely viable, idt anything will
iirc it's only farm animals, no?
idr more stuff that is 3 types that aren't human
like ik half the set is allies but
most of them are also human
yeah basically
I wonder if it was like a 2 drop 1/1 if it was viable
In some aggro thing
Just a double anthem on turn2
Samurai Leo is +4/+4, highest I've seen for this guy so far
btw I had a random thought, what if for the banlist, since we don't have anything we really want to hit since standard is fine right now, how's about we hit stock up
Not before i sell it
Also it furthers my consult agenda
Otherwise I don't really see the point
Card's fine, in like, not an oppressive way
well that's the main reason I want to hit it, blue has consult, winternight stories etc
I was actually considering hitting winternight stories instead
Idk, i think them having multiples of the same card is fine
Stock is fine imo cause you lose tempo on turn 3 in a fairly fast metagame
And if control draws it later, that's the intended use case
Winternight i could see due to it being looting, drawing for some stuff, and being recastable
well the decks that play stock up don't really care about the tempo loss tbf, but fair
But i also see it as an acceptable power level
Well yeah but like, if you're a slower deck, losing tempo over using a removal to regain tempo can be an important reason you lose in matchups, which makes the player choose, thus skill expression
So I'm fine with that
If a deck doesn't do much before turn 4 i think it's fine too
I also think we're seeing the game slow down a bit
Jeskai control started off 11-0 at the PT
Dimir Excruciator isn't exactly a fast deck
that's fair
I remember when this was a semi popular opinion and then everybody just forgot
That card is so crazy
I think solar makes fair points tbf, I’m torn between it and winter night stories
But I just think even if stock up is gone, consult the star charts exists
I think consult is fine
And I think while stories as a card itself is better it’s more narrow in what decks play it
I think stock up gives an unreasonable amount of card selection unreasonably early
It’s lowk mtg prosperity
consult and stock comparison i slightly disagree with
not only cause the mana cost, it's more flexible and is instant
but from the prism of it's a spell that makes you +1, sure
Idk I just think it’s like very telling that stock up sees actual factual vintage play 
Like yes yes different format etc but it’s still very indicative imo of the cards power level
also vintage often fucks over all the other cards like expressive iteration, dtt, cruise and such
Consult scales better, it’s more flexible and is arguably a better card overall in control decks in standard as a whole but stock up imo becomes problematic in the context of being played in so many different decks as an extremely efficient way not just to draw cards but get very specific selection on cards
so stock up not being restricted even if worse, still sees play cus what else are u playing after your 1 ofs from the broken pool of card digging/drawing
Like I don’t think stock ruins the format by existing or whatever but I do think it’s probably one of the strongest standard legal cards right now
Tbf stock up is also mostly played in lurrus where delve cards are sort of anti synergy
Or in po where you don’t really fill your gy a ton
I got final table
Some decks like oath also play stock up over dtt but I honestly couldn’t tell u why that is
Good job little one
Yeah like idt Stock up is this broken card that needs to be hit, but if we wanted to like make a hit for the sake of making a hit (idt cub needs one, nor accumulate wisdon, superior spiderman is getting close though) then hitting stock up sounds decent imo
@subtle sierra what do you think about the flash fairie that can counter noncreature spells?
it's funny in flash ig, but like as a 2 of
or even side
into decks that specifically look to boardwipe
I've been considering it, but yeah might just be better in the side
i'd consider it as extra aven interruptors into control
Just letting yall know a new secret lair is coming to the mystery vault
Stock Up is Mystical Archive
Won't happen
Its the same lair but they have it avaliable at multiple price points
Lowest is £10 non foil, £20 foil
$10 non foil is crazy
That's an instant grab if any of the cards are good
What's in it?
idt this matters tbh. the card sees play in every format
hitting it in standard is inconsequential
Dryad arbor probably makes it a buy alone
Damn I wish I liked any of the treatments in this
But they're all hard to read
Worth it I guess for the dryad arbor tho
Nature's lore ain't a bad reprint either
Keep in mind they might be stocking them at that price at very low levels
When is this available?
Oh you can buy them now
It said coming soon but when I clicked on it you can add to basket
Queue is 25 mins for me, not gonna get it myself but
I guess this is a test for what price a random lair should be
oh for $10 I'm definitely getting in queue for this
well they sold out of the $10 one to nobody's surprise
but also, shipping was $12, tf am I going to pay more for the shipping than the secret lair
wasn't the point I was making, I was showing there is a better target then the avatar farm animals.
In general there is gonna be a lot of non human 3 types in this set
Yeah they're absolutely fucking with pricing stuff to see what happens
wut
you made a point about a guy that is buffed by 4 is
is more buffed than a card that is buffed by 4
my point was on it being better
Both get +4/+4, one is way better
yes and we told you that one card doesn't make it viable
or even good
and i'm not gonna lie farm animals are better simply due to being a haywire mite lite
curious farm animals is also a 1 drop which I would argue is better than leo due to leon just doing nothing on etb
yeah
Its a double striker you can sneak out at least
the bar is in hell
for 14 damage total
the sneak is cute and makes it a pseudo embercleave ig
yeah sure, but it's similar to ninjitsu shenanigans except you're actually killing with this vs kaito controlling the board
I think Kaito is the better card tho
kaito is def better
kaito is miles better
I wish it was just ninjutsu, but nah they had to make it weaker ninjutsu.
All of Kaito's abilities are just so worth it at any point in the game
Does Ninja Turtles have anything that can do an ornithopter impression?
not true... but kaito is still way stronger
Or is Beastbinder still the best pick for that?
oh atp, literally just go kaito even more
we only know the rares and some mythics
idt we know anything else
azorius artifacts probabably gets a big boost in the set tbh
I feel like all the techniques are fringe playable too
we know the rares, mythics, and I think a few commons/uncommons from the reveal stream
If we get an ornithopter that'd be cool ig
biggest killer of this leonardo + sneak spells is the funny point you'l have where you sneak something into a counter and lose on the spot
Yeah, sneak being counterable is ROUGH
wait lol does sneak count as a cast?
yes
that's terrible
Most hyped thing from actual reveal season gonna be commons/uncommons cuz we got everything else spoiled in lorewyn 
it is a cast
It has to for the instants and sorceries iirc
yup, its worst then ninjutsu
they made it cast cause sneak is on non permanents too
worst ninjutsu, but now it can be on non permanents
yeah its a cute way to handle it but making it counterable is very funny
They legit could've just had sneak and ninjutsu in the same set
The prerelease/limited experience is already in hell keyword wise and theyre not that different to the point where it'd be confusing
what was the green technique again, I remember that reading pretty good
Its CoC iirc
Sorcery
Sneak 
(You may cast this spell for 
if you also return an unblocked attacker you control to hand during the declare blockers step.)
Look at the top eight cards of your library. Put up to two creature cards with total mana value 6 or less from among them onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Ye sorcery speed CoC that has more value but not and instant speed
Which is probably way worse that CoC
This is honestly something I've noticed the more lackluster UB sets have an issue with
There's so many cards with 1-off mechanics that make limited way clunkier
Probably because they weren't originally designed for standard, or even to be drafted in the case of spiderman
During a specific phase on your turn I'm not counting that 
But like, it gets funky when there's a single Exalted card, a single Ascend card, and like 4 other one-off mechanics for "flavor" sake
the card technically gets a cub + ouroboid on t3, and that's just scratching the surface with meta decks now
Cant do first strike tricks with sneak, cant sneak after regular damage done, yeah
I think the best technique is probably Leo's? 4 mana grab 2 3 costs or lowers from grave is already decent, for 2 mana weenies have some good token gen to bounce to get it cheaper
Splinters also letting you tutor is good
Kitsune's will unironically probably be the one to see the most modern play tbh
Only because an unblocked crab means they mill half their deck t2
we'll see. I liked most of what I saw from the TMNT set. It's def a better designed set than spiderman
not a high bar to clear lol
better designed might be the wrong wording
this set has more soul than the spiderman set
which was just soulless
For sure. I don't think it looks amazing tbh and feels all over the place, but an attempt was made and the cards are passable
Why do people even try to play these mono green cub decks, just play landfall at that point
Deck literally loses to everything
also not a high bar
yeah, but a more correct bar
because as we're seeing, spiderman set wasn't exactly a weak set in terms of power level
it was a weak set from a design perspective
I disagree on it not being a weak set power level wise, didn't MKM have more meta relevant cards still?
like there are some but it's just multiversal passage, superior spiderman, the blue green clone dude and the mana dork?
ig the mana rock that exiles from the top too
i think sandman is powerful it just doesn't have a home
spidey sense, origin of spider man (a most helpful weaver), gwen, skyward spider, urban retreat as well
Pretty sure even if you’re being very generous it’s still about on par with mkm
Im confused how do you not win here
Ur guy has trample
Or did he not attack u thinking you had an answer?
He warped the 2nd harmonizer
that harmonizer can't attack yeah
It doesn’t have haste
just entered this turn
Ahhhh
That is pretty funny because I also would have rage scooped
Didn't see the summoning sickness effect
just warped and moved to combat in case they would lmao
Motherfucker what are you doing scoop
Also that was g2 so they went into g3 with 5 minutes on timer
He really gotta think about this one
Real head scratcher
Give him 10 more minutes in the tank
Hmm do I turn my guys sideways or turn my guys sideways
I have no clue how Bant Aggro(?) went to 5 minutes on clock
I don't even know why he played that out by the time I had 4 curiosity down
There wasn't a world they won that unless I somehow drew 5 lands
Lgs is having a pauper event and they want to give away a pauper deck
Do I grind out matchups or play trusty UB faerie ninjas
can never go wrong with UB in any format 
man temur harmonizer is actually really fun, this might get me back into standard
killing jeskai control through a tishana's tidebinder and a counterspell is so fun
What do you guys think of the tiered pricing secret lair?
Its an experiment to see if people will buy the same secret lairs at a higher price if the originally low priced secret lairs sell out
Not much else to think
Someone I spoke to thinks the higher priced versions will have a better bonus card? For some reason
how are we feeling about these frames
They advertised it won't
Looks ugly as shit
personally i think they look too busy
So if they do, sued
These are awful
To quote the loonie
“Yeah bonus cards are never included in descriptions for these though”
Why are they so bright
It’ll be the same bonus card regardless, I already know this myself
Wow these look terrible
Legit they won't print more of the lairs, they'll just reduce the allocation of the original price point and then add an option to buy it at a higher price point should the original sell out
Net negative and if anyone buys the $20 non foil price point or above they get what they want and will do this in future
I wanna see what the mono black frames look like
It’s sort of funny how yuna just straight died without leyline @twilit canyon
so true!
But I kinda do wanna try it again post lorwyn
Prob a bit of a diff deck now though
Not a bit a lot diff
Yuna is still a strong card and lorwyn has some stuff that is good at enabling what that deck does and fixing its biggest issues
I mean also graveyard hate got a lot better
It’s just kind of worse sultai but idk
And Yuna is much slower using the graveyard than the good decks
I just wanna play hauntwoods again
Yeah, like I dunno why I'd wanna cheat out one dude when I can bringer their whole board
I mean when u stick yuna she still wins the game pretty consistently
.
I’m under no impression that it’s secretly goated
But lorwyn was a good set for it
Also might consider just playing 5c reanimator w yuna
Or just playing atraxa colors which historically are good idk
Did we get any good enchantments for Yuna in Lorwyn?
@tardy echo just for you https://x.com/saffronolive/status/2018435455813882189?s=46&t=DdUsqNPs-c3IFDRYOhiq8A
I'm not much of a drinker, but today I learned that someone published recipes for cocktails representing the 10 guilds of Ravnica. https://t.co/VLoOs9DTjC
I am not surprised izzet drinks rum & Red Bull
Why do these all use blue Curacao
The creator probably just loves AMFs
Can’t blame them, I love it too
Oh the izzet one is just a slightly different shark bite lmao
Insane
The affinity for forests card and the damage doubler are both maybe playable
But also Yuna doesn’t really need more enchantments
The deck needed ways to play more often, debrick the huge curve toppers more easily and to have plays before turn 3 
what type would you declare on the damage doubler, human?
right it isn't just combat damage
Can you declare saga with it 
nope saga isn't a creature type
Nope, Saga is an enchantment type not a creature type.
why did you not just respond with the exact same message but ping him too
Saga is not a creature type oo wee
Sigh wotc oppressing me specifically
Several turn game, just for opponent to ragequit lol
i don't get ppl
you cast intimidation tactics
you see i'm on control
you cast it again later
just fucking cycle it 
Yeah we just eat Excruciatiator alive
Just kill the Reefs on sight and let them mill themselves. Or use our reef
i mean if they do excruciator into enemy reefs that's a skill issue 
i'd side them out
hey help cut 4 cards pwetty pwease <3
https://archidekt.com/decks/19502749/control_in_commander
3 cards now cut ephara idk toh
The deck doesn't have a backup win if they do that
Nah it does play deceit
But that's too slow into regular Dimir
We don't care about them discarding one when we draw 5 a turn
oof no spidey sense
@sleek ferry @twilit canyon what is bette for standard metagame, somthing like this, or something with sage of the sky, momo, more like azorious fliers?
im not actively playing standard rn
limited, timeless, cube mostly
fun fun
i played a lot of cube but im kinda tired of it
but idk im interested in standard post banlist cub ban
and this azorious deck has always interested me
but thugs never showed his list
and now there is a list that did p good at pro tour
11-5 
so seems fun
but curious if like sage of the sky fliers with momo is idk i know they are diff
like thats more aggro this is more control
Year 2 in a row with no pioneer
after viewing these in the client, i gotta say they look significantly worse in-engine than i initially expected
especially the green and land versions of the frame
the blue version looks alright but the others just look really bad
wtf is this
yeah no kidding
damn those lands are beautiful
You know that myrimm lair wil go so quickly
Shadowheart looks great here
Bloodletter is a good one
Counterspell in the miirym lair what does bro even do
I’m so happy that the pretty art is participation and the meh art is prize, I don’t have to spend as much
Huh it's crazy [[Song of Creation]] still doesn't have a print with art by anyone else
Oh huh I didn’t notice the woman in the art
I thought the she the flavor text referred to was something else

-# #Mark Rosewater
oh shit, mood swings real?
haruhi game confirmed?
Could be worst, it could be the urine foil from aetherdrift
The second i sell stock ups there's a chance doc eats it and i have to play control again 
throacle ban 🤞
Titan unban 🤞
Why ban the 2 other edh icons? Theyre already not banning sol ring 
Keep the icons and stop making more cards that do what they do but worse 
is sapling nursery not a good card in limited? I feel like endless treefolk is worth something

Extremely satisfying win
He got all the way up to 59 life and I got all the way down to 1
I’ve come to the conclusion that Aang is the highest skill ceiling card in standard @subtle sierra
Yeah he's good
Good start to the day
I love bad Excruciatiator players rn. Yeah imma just floodpit your Excruciatiator and swing with reef. Gg
Every excruciator player on the ladder telegraphs all their plays
And then when you’re ready for it they’re like
Why Zack
good card
Game was advertised with more zack
Which it did (30 seconds at the end let's go)
I summon @atomic harness @sleek ferry
I love this deck
Designing a cube and fighting the urge to just put 100 Duskmourn cards in here
true
Ouclus and the overlords is definitely in there tho
This is what I've got so far
The idea is power cube but multiple archetypes per color and some funky cards
FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THE DRAFT MATTERS CARDS
Those are cool as fuck and going in there
They’re pretty cool but I would be careful with them
There’s only like 2 cards that are worth
kbity
It’s funny you posted this, because I was looking at the rare slot in Ixalan, and that set’s rare slot aged marvelously
I mean the set is only like a year old
It rotates out in 2027
Yeah it's relatively recent
Idk the sets 3 years old isn’t it
Tidebinder is a funny one though its been going back and forth and back and forth in standard for over a year now
Almost like the tides…
Lost caverns was 3 years ago??? Fuck
Well more like 2.5 I’m pretty sure
Damn I've been outta the game for a while
Got this man for 54 cents today at locals
Got nothing to put him in, but I have one now
I just noticed that one of my 4 curiousities is gonna be normal, but the other 3 are borderless smh
that's rough buddy
I should just lean into it and play all 4 of Kaito's alt arts
Ok minstrel cedh is sick
I’m worse at it then I thought but it might have to do with my mulligans too
Yeah it definitely has to do with my mulligans, often I keep without much other than mill or some lands
run him as a commander
scrawling crawler for a crazy devil factory
Would be a bit away, got other decks to finish and sleeve up first
Fuck that's hard
If fixing remains this good you could atraxa as a bomb but it might be too high cost this shit got the 9?
honestly I'm probably taking pearl
Also evidenced by Disa, Boomer Jund is an archetype
funny, because I'm taking ruby
I think Ruby or Pearl is probably the move, yeah
let me have another look at the list actually
Yeah moxes are just so low commitment while being so strong
oh are you not playing the iniative guys
Fair. I just don't like initiative in 1v1
I enjoy the mechanic but I mainly like it as a way to make white feel like not a sub colour
I mean, I tried to give white a decent bit of tools here
But yeah, a lot of white ends up being support for a theme and not the theme
In this cube Jeskai is Convoke, Naya is Tokens, and Esper is lifegain. None of those are really drastically different stuff but they do all sorta need white
i think its good in 2 color green piles
oh jeez
that was a while ago
Probably mox Ruby, Red tends to have better usage for acceleration than white and if you’re not in red then it’s still free
I treat power cube, the same way I treat cedh
What’s the better supporting color? Red by far
I love keeping counterspell tribal players honest omfg
Man, Lorwyn has gotta be one of the most mixed limiteds we've had in forever. It's ROUGH
It seems mostly fine, removing the rares makes the format so much more fun
Bought a Lorwyn bundle, pulled 14 rares and mythics including 2 showcases and 1 full art double sided blood crypt
You can pull the double sided in the regular packs?
I thought they were collector boosters only
Nope, you can pull from regular play boosters
The only collector exclusive is the fractured foils
The Hasbro Kpop Demon Hunter collab is in full force, the WOTC side of the deal hasn't been shown yet
Proud of you
Picked these up Wednesday
Good job Luca san
Looking over Ikoria cards. What is it with the eludha that makes people dress stupid
Don’t make fun of them, it’s a lifestyle 
How cracked are the elementals when drafted
Obviously a rare occasion being M and all
But probably among the top end of how egregious things can get
depends on which one it is but they're pretty good
not the best but very very good
the format's simultaneously on rails and open at the same time (very often you'll pivot from creature type or mechanic) while being slow but with smaller statlines
elves (any of the green or white creature types for that matter) or vivid is likely the best deck, being able to turn it on fairly easily and also having much bigger creatures than other archetypes but it is also one of the more difficult archetypes to draft so if everyone else is in a lane then you're forced to take a lane
Hi
My personal favorite elemental is catharsis
But I do think vibrance will prove itself to be the most powerful one across all formats
It might even be the reason Titan finally gets hit
Ended up getting the new elemental precon. What are some pickups I need for this? I know Animar and Maelstrom.
not the hecken landarinos...
insel...
i just realized i forgot to build my favorite deck in my cedh group lineup
looks like no one will ever know i play it until i bust it out in tournaments 
Creature — Human Bard
Flash
When this creature enters, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains harmonize until end of turn. Its harmonize cost is equal to its mana cost. (You may cast that card from your graveyard for its harmonize cost. You may tap a creature you control to reduce that cost by
, where X is its power. Then exile the spell.)
3/2
this was already played in at least one list i found
https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=79952&d=807742&f=ST this guy really likes it
Is Songcrafter worth it? Your best instant or sorcery already has harmonize
stock up doesn't have harmonize
yeah harmonizer plays a lot of control tbh
they just have the harmonizer as a punch wincon
I was thinking of the regular cub list, forgot which one harmonizer was
Harmonizer is like sort of a fake green deck
Playstyle wise
It’s a weird control thing that pops off w a combo kill on one turn
Not a type of green deck that standard has had for a while
smartest mono black player
Former mono green player tries playing black 
it's the essence of temur
truly
We finally did it we found a card that makes more mana than rofellos
idk
10 minutes
Jlo-chan...
Holy
world war hulk looks pretty nice for etali-chan, when are we getting tht again
Thanks for watching Good Morning Magic! If you enjoyed the episode, it'd mean a lot to me if you subscribed: it only takes one click, and helps grow the channel.
There's a ton to talk about with Commander today - let me tell you about it!
Have a question? Post a comment! You can also catch me, Gavin Verhey, on the rest of...
Hybrid Mana is not changing
Lutri also is not going to GC
He's fully free to roam as a commander or the 99, there is just a no Lutri companion rule in place
It's funny that rhystic and thassa's stayed
the amount of copium that they would get hit was amusing
Thank you aerers
Yeah this was hyped for close to a year for absolutely nothing 
Wow this is such a nothingburger list LOL
so farewell to gc, biorhythm n lutri (sans companion) unbanned thats it?
yep

less to cast for each permanent card in your graveyard.
or
