    LOVE Fade Away, nobody sees it coming, most people don't even know it exists and its so great for keeping token decks honest.

    • @jonathanstead5135
      @jonathanstead5135 5 місяців тому

      Fade away with price of glory is one of my favorite things to do

    • @Aaron-cs3xl

      Fade away looks so good in Nezahal too!

  • @solus0184

    I can see the verdant mastery potentially being relevant in merfolk decks, you can just give a non-blue player an island and all your creatures with islandwalk can simply bypass their defenses

    Necrologia is one of my all time favourites! A while back I picked up a copy of the foil 7ed version for my Kagemaro, First to Suffer deck (criminally underrated commander, has less the 100 decks on edhrec and has the ability to nuke the board at instant speed as soon as it’s played) and I always draw like 15+ cards from it.

    Verdant Mastery: oops, this creature has forestwalk.
    Side note: "Standstill" is absurdly fun politics in Commander. Blue enchantment (1)(U) "When a player plays a spell, Sacrifice Standstill. If you do, each of that player's opponents draw three cards."

    I think that the red, black, and green mastery portion of the cycle from Strixhaven are all really good, and I'd love to see more effects like them in commander

  • @jacobarnborgforss
    @jacobarnborgforss 5 місяців тому +2

    Good one! U found cards other channels hasn’t mentioned, what I know of at least!

  • @thavionhawkmkii4509

    Card: Raking Canopy
    Cost: 1GG
    Color/Type: Green Enchantment
    Set: Shadowmoor
    Function: Whenever a creature with flying attacks you, Raking Canopy deals 4 damage to it.
    TCG Plater price: $0.15
    A static 4 damage effect to flyers attacking you can shut down a shockingly large number of creatures in the urly to mid game and can help with larger creatures later on.
    An example would be Alela, Artful Provocateur, a 2/3 flying Esper commander seen in this video. Raking Canopy can both one shot her if she attacks, but also kills all the 1/1 Faerie tokens she creates.

  • @emiel122191
    @emiel122191 5 місяців тому +2

    Guttergrime is such a pet card of mine, I really like using it with Colfenor, the last yew. It pairs really well with perilous forays.

  • @d.a.d.-ohgosh
    @d.a.d.-ohgosh 3 місяці тому

    Solid list. I think The Irencrag has a wording issue that scares people away. It's really easy to read it and think that the equipped creature loses all abilities. Which we know that text refers to itself so it can't tap for mana anymore. I think if they made this a double faced transform card then it'd likely see more play. It's a very solid mana rock.

  • @reeces.8777
    @reeces.8777 5 місяців тому +1

    1) I love this kind of content and finding cards that are fun to play and different. 2) An Emily Dickinson quote on Soul Barrier means she canonically existed on Dominaria, right? 3) The flavor text on Reap is such a sassy slam! 😂❤

  • @TheMorbidHobo
    @TheMorbidHobo 5 місяців тому +1

    Hunting grounds is really crazy, but the color combo means I don't have a deck for it. Still I can see it going wild in most abzan decks.

  • @gavinbrandon283
    @gavinbrandon283 5 місяців тому +1

    Perilous Forays is part of my staple combo in my omnath landfall deck. Pair it with any creature token landfall and lotus cobra and boom, you just played 30 basic lands for free

  • @bouncingbeebles
    @bouncingbeebles 4 місяці тому +1

    Perilous Forays is a big favourite of mine. Here's a tip I initially missed. The wording is very particular, and doesn't appear on many cards. It doesn't say "search ... for a basic land card." It says "search ... for a land card with a basic land type." This means you can get your Zagoth Triome or your Temple Garden for fixing or your Undercity Sewers for a surveil or your Mystic Sanctuary for recursion. Granted most of these are not budget friendly, but the Mystic Sanctuary cycle and Mistveil Plains cycle at least offer you more than a regular basic would.

    • @nopickles420
      @nopickles420 4 місяці тому

      I wonder if you could break this with Dryad Arbor.

  • @Werewolfoverlord12
    @Werewolfoverlord12 5 місяців тому

    Also realized oblation is a protection spell too. They want to path or swords, i oblation. Thanks for the cards!
    Also for the "if a land of this type is tapped" there are cards that turn lands into islands or forests so you can MAKE SURE those cards do their thing. And if your deck loots and you dont have someone playing blue or black at the table guess what? Free discard! Youre not discarding a card you want to keep.
    AND LASTLY Spelunking exists. You pair it with perilous forays and a token producer and suddenly all your basics/multi lwnds are in play for the same result. Its nuts!

  • @sjp3249
    @sjp3249 5 місяців тому

    You can also use cauldron haze to double down on death triggers, because it it happens AFTER it dies, then returns it. If you have a counter doubler or something like an OG elesh norn effect that reduces opponents creatures by more, so bear minimum you're killing mana dorks. You can also use this for an explosive turn with pitiless plunderer when you dont need dorks anymore, pretty wild card!

    Perilous forays is the "golden pig" of my phylath deck. Highly recommend it

  • @tylergee1405
    @tylergee1405 5 місяців тому

    I can see Thoughtleech going in a Xolatoyac deck. It kind of wants to give island counters so you can untap your lands but it can also give those island counters to your opponents for easy islandwalk.

  • @dimitriid
    @dimitriid 5 місяців тому

    A simple series that I find doesn't gets nearly enough use are the Diamond artifacts: One for each color at 2 CMC tap for the color of choice but ETB tapped. Most people usually prefer the 3 CMC rocks with some other plus (sacrifice for draw, do some other util, etc.) because they come untapped and consider 3 CMC for a 1 each color 'faster' but when it matters the most on the early turns, paying 3 to get a single rock is basically the same as paying 2 and keeping that one open anyway and being able to drop 2 of them (Or one with another 2 CMC rock) seems better to me than just dropping one.

  • @Requiem_13

  • @joshuamark1646
    @joshuamark1646 5 місяців тому

    I really like Winds of Abandon. If you not doing the overload cost it is a much worse Path to Exile but with the overload cost it's 6 mana to Path all your opponent's creatures. It does give them a ton of mana but it can more than make up for it by exiling all your opponent's creatures. And with the mana they get it's a basic land for each creature so can punish people who are not running basic lands.

  • @bryceduyvewaardt8136

    Perilous Forays is RIDICULOUS. Mitch, you misread that card. It says *Search for a land card with a basic land type.* Umm... Tango Lands, Shock Lands, Surveil Lands, Triomes. *THOSE COUNT!!!*

  • @tylerrassi4148
    @tylerrassi4148 5 місяців тому

    With Sheoldred The Apocalypse out, you'll net gain 1 life for every card you draw allowing you to draw as much of your deck as you'd like. Make sure you have Reliquary Tower or Thought Vessel and you'll be able to keep all those cards as well. Just don't accidentally lose the game because you drew your entire deck!

  • @Syncopiia
    @Syncopiia 5 місяців тому

    I'm running Hunting Grounds and Gutter Grime in my Polukranos Reborn deck. Gutter Grime is a good token backup if Polukranos dies, and Hunting Grounds can either cheat out a big hydra or a 0/0 that immediately dies and nets me two 3/3 hydra tokens off Polukranos.
    Hunting Grounds is also great in dinosaurs. People will think thrice 'about casting stuff.

  • @taylormeisman7521
    @taylormeisman7521 5 місяців тому

    Far Wanderings is a great common. Yeah, 3 mana for one land at sorcery speed is trash but if you have threshold you get 3 lands for 3 mana, which is really good.
    Combining perilous forays with something like rampaging balaths is great but if you add lotus cobra or tireless provisioner you can grab every basic land in your deck.
    If you're running a token deck Cultural Exchange can be brutal. Either that or use it to switch around your opponent's stuff.
    Radiate can be very powerful, especially if your opponent casts a removal spell which will bring a one-sided board wipe for 5 red mana at instant speed. This could also be super janky as well (ie create token of target permanent)

Resulting in the compounding of cards being used over and over, which could even promote poor deck building habits. But it could be that as well. It really depends on the deck being built.
