the new Aetherdrift set is mostly all artifacts. Pretty easy to board wipe

Don't lie! I know you already built that Angus deck you animal! 😂😂😂 fr good shit mate, keep it up 😁

I want to make a case for Farewell and why we need it: sure, casting it can invalidate a lot of the game that happened beforhand, if you look at it superfially. But the unavoidability is necessary. If you would cast wraith of god instead, chances are the game is determined by the player who casts heroic intervention in responce. In a way, that also invalidates everything that happend beforehand. There was a stalemate, you resolved one instant and won out of nowhere. With farewell, this can only happen with teferis protection, wich is a broken and problematic card itself. Farewell checks if you over commited to the board. If youve put all you eggs into one basket, farewell will punish you. If you sandbagged some recources you will outvalue the rest of the table afterwards.

I feel like I'm finally starting to get a good grasp on what cards I should be playing in my decks, but I think a video on how to *find* these cards would be greatly appreciated. What I mean is that it's all dandy to say I should be playing boardwipes that would affect my opponents more than it would me, but what are these boardwipes? Figuring out that Cyclonic Rift is good always and that Wrath of God is a wipe you could play is easy because they are always at the top of EDHRec, but how do I know what other boardwipe options are there? How can I find these boardwipes that would work with my deck? This applies to other types of cards as well, watching your ramp videos gave me a great idea of why I shouldn't be running Rampant Growth or Kodama's Reach in just any deck but figuring out what cards I should be playing instead of these is very hard for me. Great video as always, much love 🙏

I love playing Farewell. I do not always pick all modes, just the ones that gives me the most advantage. When I play it I can rebuild the fastest or finish the game because most of my permanents are still on the board. Sometimes I combine it with Clever Concealment. The board wipe I love playing even more than Farewell is "Everything Comes to Dust". Usually when I play that card all the value pieces and creatures of my opponents are gone and my big board of kindred creatures are still on the board. I especially love it in my angel and in my spirit deck. I just love playing white, kindred and going wide.

You could flash in the easy enchantment win cons on your opponents end step right before your turn if you have an option to do so in play and then it's just as bad. There's even easier options. That being said, I think the easiest options should just be banned and a lot of the legal ones are still fine

If Farewell made you choose a limited number of modes it would be far more fun to play with.

CV is only usable in the battlecruiser formats where it feels the worst. The Commander banlist has always been about what makes for a fun play experience. CV should stay banned for sure.

Another aspect of Coalition Victory that makes it a very bad unban is that when it works, it's super lame, and when it doesn't work, say, someone swordsing your commander in response, it's also super lame. It is never a fun card whether it's working, not working, or anywhere in your deck.

Blasphemous act and repercussions wipes also the opponents in most cases. :D

Innocence. So rare even the gods dont know it.

I think board wipes are the bane of magic. If my opponent is kicking the serious booty, then good for him my deck flopped let’s shuffle up and start again. Secondly, I can’t believe that you are only a few weeks posting videos. I understand how you have grown so much in such short time, you are making such phenomenal content!

The biggest advice I have is knowing the difference between dorks, rocks, and fetch. A commander like Akroma needs generic rocks that you can stack to get her out asap. But a commander like Atraxa needs more colors than generic, so a focus on 2 cost rainbow producers takes priority.

In creature decks, I like asymmetrical board clears like [Split Up] or [Cyclonic Rift] or [Damning Verdict] or [Hour of Reckoning] or [By Invitation Only]. 0:06 seems blasphemous, only in my Goad deck would I not run a board clear, and even then I still found room for Split Up. And now I've got a few more to try!

I have a recommendation in Blood Money

I can't imagine *not* playing board wipes. If you don't, then you end up in one of two scenarios: 1) the person with the fastest creature deck wins very early, or 2) there is a massive stalemate as everyone has a huge board of creatures and no can get past anyone's defenses. Both scenarios aren't very fun and don't allow for a lot of play variety. That said, I find board wipes frustrating because whenever *I* play one. I still feel like I'm behind. These spells cost 5, 6, even 7 mana. I play mine to stay alive, tap out and pass the turn get played, and everyone else gets to rebuild before me. So I'm still playing from behind.

In my Zoraline deck, I like using Starfall Invocation. On paper, it's either perfectly symmetrical or only slightly asymmetrical if you promise the gift to someone, but you can actually set up your board to hurt the others a lot more than yourself even if you have a board full of bats (and other stuff, tribal decks are no reason to forgo good non tribal cards) before wiping. Have Vengeful Bloodwitch on the board and also anything that gives the effect "whenever you gain life target opponent loses that much life", so you wipe the board, Bloodwitch triggers for every one of your own creatures that dies and already does damage to all opponents, but then you choose one of you opponents to also take the damage from your life gain, then if you gifted the card you obviously revive Zoraline (or maybe Lord of the Balemurk, since he can get Zoraline out of the graveyard and you can re-cast her without paying the commander tax) since she will be reanimating the rest of your board over the course of your next few turns. This can all but end games, especially pretty close games that were starting to become unbalanced in favour of one of your opponents. I have killed an opponent that was on the verge of victory with this strategy once, and I recovered from the board wipe much better and faster than my surviving opponents, both thanks to Zoraline's reanimation ability and because the deck has a low mana curve, meaning that with any card draw I can build a new board very fast with a bunch of relatively cheap bats. ETA it's also on theme because the art looks like it features Zoraline casting the spell. Even if it's not her, it's a bat with cleric garbs, so either way on theme, which is always a plus

Farewell is a board whip that can exile all graveyards as an option, which in my playgroup, is incredibly powerful. Seeing that at least 1 player has a deck that needs graveyards rather it’s an opponent’s or their own. I do run 2 different decks that have a good amount of indestructible creatures, so I do agree it’s NOT an auto include.

farewell is fine

The first step on the road to atonement 🙏

I'm very torn on this subject since I wanna keep this secret for my self since I think it gives you decent percentage points, but on the other hand I want everyone to play asimmetric board wipes rather than the the ones that reset the game without anyone coming ahead; farewell then, it's a total reset, the card is truly miserable

In my Eowyn deck I really like to play Everything Comes to Dust, it looks like Farewell but it wont send my humans in the oblivion at least.

I've had a lot of fun with the really bizarre narrow wipes like Void and Nightmare Unmaking. Sometimes stuff gotta go or you can't target! Graveyard hate is good to keep filthy players like me from getting out of hand! But it's the -everything-. I've never seen Farewell hit and the game actually improve. It just makes it longer. Everyone either rebuilds more or less the same, or everyone's got two cards in hand and it gets grindy.

5:00 Nah, farewell is glorious. Opponent has a bunch of value engines across diversified permanent types, one of those annoying heroic intervention-type cards up their sleeve, and a stocked GY just in case? SAY ADIÓS BABY, WE'RE GOING BACK TO LANDS AND HANDS! 🗣🗣🗣 🔥🔥🔥

Personally as long as the card is not repinted, i think is fine to be unbanned. Turn 8 no reaction and your commander 5 color in the cost on board, probably you deserve the win

I run a couple boardwipes in nearly all decks. Because sometimes shit just needs to die. I REFUSE to run Farewell in anything. That card is a design mistake. I only run Cyclonic Rift in a handful that can take advatage of the one-sidedness. Also because that card is expensive as hell. Flood of Tears is bananas and one of my favorite wipes. Good video!

Farewell wouldn't be so bad if you had to pick only one, maybe two of the effects, but the fact you can pick all of the effects is just overkill. It's honestly baffling it got past playtesting.

I hate Farewell, it just slows down the game SO MUCH...It is even worse than cyclonic rift.

Farewell is the Nuke Option. Its always the last resort. Asymmetrical is the best kind of board wipes.

I tend to play a lot of black, and I'm really liking some of the more flexible mass removal cards over a traditional boardwipe. Accursed marauder, danse macabre, flare of malice, chained devil only hit nontoken creatures, which is usually great value. Hex to: 6 mana, 6 creatures, and you get to precision strike them. V.A.T.s is a little more niche; usually I hit 1-2 real creatures, but its really handy to clean up token armies. Blood money is my goto boardwipe due to the insane amount or mana you get to rebuild with on the next turn. Other fun ones are culling ritual in golgari and blot out the sky in orzhov, which will send anyone who isn't using land ramp back to the stone age along with giving you a clear path to overwhelm them.

It’s kinda cringe someone can say boardwipe are evil xd Yeah that’s tottaly not cool you can stop someone who’s get too much lucky, or you just prefer different style than PUT CREATURE AND SMASH FACE xd Damn people Btw +1 for farewell it’s really ugly card

Oh, go on with you. Farewell is the great equalizer and you dang well know it.

I feel like because there are so many cards these days that can give "Indestructible" so easily, boardwipes that can around that (like Exile and Sacrifice) are kinda necessary. There are some cards I like to play that give you more control, while also not completely wiping everything, for example: Tragic Arrogance, Promise of Loyalty, Single Combat (very good for decks that play less creatures), Make an Example, etc. Another kind of card that can replace boardwipes can be Fogs. But not just simple ones, ones that have an extra effect or benefit you. Cards like: Dawn Charm (very versatile), Riot Control (also gains you life), Take the Bait (sends the creatures that were coming your way to your opponents), Inkshield (can easily finish games if an opponent goes all out towards you), Blessed Respite (can shuffle your graveyard into your library), Jaheira's Respite (can ramp you for a lot), etc. One thing I did realize was you kinda need to run 2-3 Fogs if you do decide to add them in the deck, because once an opponent sees one, in future games they will likely expect THAT card when you have mana open, so this way you can play more mind games.

A couple of my recent favourites are Zimone's Hypothesis and Split Up, where you get to choose Odd or Even and tapped or untapped, which a few game actions could leave yours more untouched.

If the card is legal then it’s in my deck and I’ll play it. Take your feelings up with the body who bans cards, not players adhering to the rules. too bad.

Not a fan of the asymmetric board wipes. Mostly not helped along by a friend who's pet card is Spelltwine. If my board wipe is going to get stolen, may as well clear out at least everyone's creatures.

How is farewell that much different from austere command?

Kind of a rant with a story on the last Farewell played against me and why I'm not a fan of it's card The issue I have with Farewell is it's a catch all do all card that EXILES. Which makes it hard for the user to benefit from. I played a game last night that saw me playing U/B reanimated with dead tide encore Against a U/R/G Doc Who demonstrate spells W/G Tokens and a W/U/G (Bant) creature value deck. Token player got a huge lead with their commander and another card that allowed them to get a ton of 1/1 and 2/2 tokens out at once. I play the first wipe of the game being Scourge of Fleets, an underrated creature wipe and the only wipe I run in this deck for now, which didn't full on stop the token deck but it delayed him and some other creatures from the other players. Token player got his board back and then got a turn to more or less end the Doc Who player, who demonstrated a anger of the gods like card (I don't remember the card but it was anger the god but it hit all creatures and players and dealt 5 dmg instead of 3) so he wiped the board with 15 damage but again it didn't really effect him so he was in the lead. After he saved himself from that attack the next turn lead to bant creatures to draw and pass, this then lead to Doc Who trying to kill Bant for some reason instead of killing me or going after tokens which then forced Bant to play Farewell. A hour of gameplay and vision into a game ending was more or less gone. My stacked graveyard with some juicy targets that could force plays, gone Doc Who's current creatures to swing and support cards to get into more spells, gone Tokens support cards and any surviving creatures, gone and mind you the worst part is, the bant value deck has been falling behind this entire time, it's not like he had any good follow up plays because...well he didn't Doc Who player started getting some stuff back on the board but it was slow The Tokens deck had a good commander that digged for more options as it ETB so he was the least effected by it I was just out, I had not really anything to contribute anymore to the game with most of my deck in exile which like I understand other cards can completely screw my graveyard deck but it's the reasons I run Graf diggs instad of rest in peace so that way the graveyard decks struggle but aren't just out of the game. Anyway, after that token deck played another targeted board wipe card (dino that fights and keeps fighting) which upon being played had the Doc Who player scoop...and I can't blame him knowing I was also quite fed with the amount of wipes and well...I was stonewalled after the farewell play myself. It was needed since I could have been the threat the next turn I got but I was also at 4 health, I was gonna be attacked. The issue was just the board wipe was damning to everyone and the game, it prolonged a game that didn't need to be prolonged. Of course I don't know why I wasn't targeted in Doc' attack since I was low on health. I should have just scooped after the farewell and before Doc scooped to his frustrations with too many board wipes because I lost my grip in that game when it happened. I knew Farewell was going to be annoying once I saw it being the same mana as Aus command but it exiles and you can choose all modes.

My absolute favorite board wipe so far is Gideon. Big Chungus Urza might be awesome too if I can build a badass deck around it, but I love seeing the looks on people's faces when I turn Gideon into a creature, drop some +1/+1 counters on him, and take him from single digits to over 1,000 power in a single turn using Vorel of the Hull Clade, Illusionist's Bracers, and untap shenanigans like Galvanic Alchemist. Let him stew for a minute to scare the opponents and drop summoning sickness, then drop a Rancor on him and swing away.

I am sorry, but after Farewell has won me several games in the past few weeks from leaving other players in the dumpster while I got a full grip and the most lands... I think I will continue to play it.

This is a great video but it sounds like you play with people that use crazy broad wipes a lot

My insidious asymmetric creature wipe that's a win con in my Captain Sisay deck: Kudo, King Among Bears + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Not to mention Ursa's Ruinous Blast

The problem with Farewell as I see it is that it just overrides pretty much all of the usual counterplay to board wipes. Give your things indestructible? It exiles. Set up an engine that doesn't rely on a single card type? It hits artifacts and enchantments. Set up some death triggers that make boardwiping dangerous for your opponents? Again, exiles. Build up value in your graveyard so that you can recover even after committing your hand? It also hits graveyards for some reason! Pretty much the only effective counterplay to Farewell is a straight-up counterspell, so if you're not playing blue (or maybe white for Teferi's Protection, Eerie Interlude, etc.), tough shit.

nah, see you cast farewell and pop off a Tefri pro and just laugh

I prefer to use asymmetrical tribal board wipes as a finisher. Crux of Fate in my dragon deck, Kindred Dominance in my vampire deck, or Fumigate + Avacyn in my angel deck. It lets me get a big swing in to close out the game, rather than reset it.

Cool video but I run board wipes to prevent myself from losing, if you don't like it run more protection or counters. Not my problem you have a greedy deck and get salty at a board wipe.

How else do you propose I get rid of hexproofed avacyn? How else should I manage encroaching mycosynth? What would you like me to do after the opponent wipes asymmetrically? I'll tell you right now, it won't be optimal in comparison.

But i need to feel something

My current Golgari [Redacted] deck has three-ish Culling Ritual - the weenies, tokens, and rocks removal, always leads into recasting my commander or flooding the board with weenies. Maestrom Pulse - the other token destroyer (Rhys is everywhere), ...and... Phyresis Outbreak - my core game ending card

I disagree with your assessment on Farewell. While it isn't explicitly asymmetrical, the fact that it exiles can make it asymmetrical against reanimator decks. A friend of mine loves to run a Ratadrabik of Urborg deck and Farewell is one of my best cards against his deck, as it doesn't trigger any death triggers from Ratadrabik and can get rid of his graveyard if needed. It shouldn't be included in every deck, but if your strategy doesn't rely on the graveyard and you need some graveyard/death trigger hate, it is a good option.
