Apparently Corgis are Shepherds. Carry on, Wizards, carry on.
Phwew, that was close
Shepherd is a profession. Don't make fun of the friendly corgi, he's a professional (sheep? anything blinkable?) herder.
They sort of are. Corgis are herding dogs. Mostly for cattle, but also sheep.
I'm fairly certain that an entity that herds animals is a shepherd as well. A dog that is enthusiastic about herding is not out of the realm of possibility here either.
Yeah Corgis are sheep herding dogs, It is actually really fun to see them at work because of how small they are and how cute they look while working
I'm gobsmacked that Seth managed to pronounce Chthonian Nightmare.
Omg, gol- Gary? Scion of drAHco? I friggen can’t with the way he pronounces shit, gotta watch with no sound and subs lol
@@zcrazy1668 Bugler Rat
@@zcrazy1668You and the rest of the world. His voice drives me up the wall.
Yet he mispronounced "safekeeper"
The other way to look at Chthonian Nightmare is if you are only resurrecting 3-mana or less creatures, you don't need any other type of energy production since the Nightmare will make all you need each time you play it.
resurrect a 2 mana creature, then you have 4 for the next one. resurrect a 1 mana creature and you can get a 5 mana creature. It can be positive on its own.
And it meets Lurrus' deck requirements to play it :D
Free infinite Ornithopter/Memnite etb's?
@@Archflip1b to cast tho
Just resurrect a Dockside that will make you at least 2 treasure and have a free sac outlet to net 1 energy and any additional treasure if 3 or more are made by Dockside each time as you loop Dockside. You can also do this with a second Dockside or a Patron of the Arts in place of the free sac outlet. Patron of the Arts makes this work in commander since it will create 2 treasures to recast Chthonian Nightmare, but requires one mana available when starting the loop unlike the 2 Dockside and the free sac outlet versions.
Corgi’s are herding dogs, so they are indeed shepards!
If I was a sheep I would not respect a corgi
Did not know that, nice!
@@Cameron-ds9xs you would learn
Former corgi owner, can confirm.
I don't believe snapcaster works with flare of denial. Flashback is an alternate cost, the sac-a-blue is an alternate cost. You can only pay one alternate at a time.
Yes, it definitely doesn't work the way he described. It might still be good to have Snapcaster in a Flair deck though, since you can still sac him when casting from the hand.
Ha, just posted this same correction, glad I'm not the only one who caught this...
This is not true. The ability on flare of denial is just a way to pay the casting cost, not an alternative cost. To demonstrate: Conspiracy Unraveler, which uses the same wording as Flare, does let you collect evidence while paying a flashback cost.
@@polbulanosalto7403that is blatantly false. Alternate payment mechanics would be things like Delve or Convoke, but neither Flare or Conspiracy Unraveler work in this way, and they never have. You can read the rulings on Unraveler if it’s not abundantly clear.
@@polbulanosalto7403collecting evidence is an additional cost, not an alternative cost
Who else went looking for this video when Tomer shared it in the commander spoiler video
🙋🏼♂️
I was watching like 30 mins after drop I’m like where tf
Note about chthonian nightmare: recurring nightmare is broken because you can hold priority, bounce it, and never let the opponent respond. Chthonian has an etb trigger, so this doesn't work.
It also says activate as a sorcery for even more chances to respond
@@daneburke6592Recurring Nightmare is also only as a sorcery.
@@r4g1ngph03n1xThe point is, after reoccurring nightmare lands on the battlefield, you have priority to activate it, so unless an opponent has a counter spell, they won't have a chance to interact with it directly.
I was worried for a brief second before I saw the trigger
Winter Moon is not competing with Blood Moon. It’s for all non red decks and I love it
Winter Moon also works with Blood Moon if you really want to commit.
Blood Moon turns the Non-Basics into Mountains, it doesn't turn them into basic lands.
Players: “im kind of worried about power creep”
WOTC: *hits blunt* *releases modern horizons*
I don't get why WotC keeps making Modern Horizons sets. MTG never really recovered from MH2.
It sells well?
Go play Pioneer. Please.
@@DragonAttack515 I mean pioneer isn't the same as modern, and I refuse to play the format where they arbitrarily decided fetchlands are too good now
Yawgmoth has protection from humans, Seth! No shroud for the eugenicist!
flashing back flare of denial and saccing it to snapcaster doesnt work as you cant pay alternative cost with snapcaster
this
seth looking at necrogoyf: "we never had a one drop with 3 power in modern before so I don't know how to evaluate this"
meanwhile wild nacatl being in the format from the very beginning and delver existing too
He meant a black one drop
@@AdmiralVortexDeath Shadow???
Edit: Death Shadow doesn't have 3 power on turn 1
Ugin's Labyrinth is also protecting your endgame bomb from being targeted by discard spells, as you can keep it safe under the land untill you intend to cast it.
I destroy your tapped Ugin's Labyrinth.
@@joeferreti9442forgot every deck runs land destruction
Make Fulminator good again 😂
@@joeferreti9442 If its tapped, it means that it has ramped me two mana into a threat that you did not awnser since you focused on removing the land.
Doesn't Yawg have protection from humans? So safekeeper can't target him!
27:57 Would Kudo make the Death Shadow a 2/2 with -X/-X and kill it?
yes
Winter Moon is 100% fair game. Something has to contend with the arms race of non-basic power creep in an acceptable way, and it makes mana base construction far more interesting by prioritizing basics. EDH needs Winter Moon, and a fair few more soft non-basic answers in a similar power tier.
"there are no cool zombie lands" seth! you JUST mentioned field of the dead! a land that LITERALLY makes zombies!
Its good, not cool. Important difference.
It's also banned in like most formats
Yes, my biggest problem in modern has always been my opponents blocking my 2/2s with their emrakul...
A recurring nightmare made just for Lurrus? Yes please.
Also loops Dockside for infinite and a lot more easily than any other way currently possible.
Don’t worry, Seth. I was also confused by how the corgi was bred to be herding dogs but apparently they do. Who knew being stubby actually helps them herd cows better since they’re too short to get kicked and are surprisingly more agile than taller dogs
It is a scientific fact that the potato doggos are aerodynamic
Elder deep fiend was in beans during its height. You could flash in solitude on their upkeep, then sac it to flash in deep fiend and basically time walk your opponent while shooting a creature and drawing 2-8 cards
I just crafted it on Arena yesterday, and we know Solitude is a Special Guest. I can't wait to try this in Brawl hehe.
Winter moon is a teaching tool for commander play groups. This card is a reminder that basic lands are important, and will never be completely supplanted by more complicated lands. And it helps your playgroup be more budget friendly
Lol no. Cheap Commander manabases get punished by Winter Moon x1000 harder than Pain Lands + Duals. And playing basics makes good decks unplayable. Plus, there are way, way, way more basic land hate cards in Commander. No one plays them bc they are too mean.
@@BlakeFaeMortonhow? Basics are playable in most decks
@@notapplicable6985 It's a 99 card format. If I have a card with even two pips of the same color in a tricolor deck basics are going to cause mana screw way too often. Sure, they are mostly playable in two color and are obviously fine in monocolor. But absolutely not in 3+.
Winter Moon does punish decks with lots of dual lands and triomes. On the other hand, it doesn’t impact:
Lands with ongoing effects (Glacial Chasm)
Landfall and other ETB triggers (Field of the Dead, Nissa)
Combos that win in a single turn and don’t expect to need another untap step
So it’s punishing, but I don’t see it as being a complete lock-out of non-basics in Commander
@@ConManAU By budget decks I mean Scrylands. Of course it does punish Duals, but casual manabases get absolutely destroyed since they enter tapped.
Winter Moon should be allowed in Commander.
You should be face some adversity if you build a super greedy mana base.
I can always agree to fucking over the 3+ color greed piles
There are some spicy prison pieces for my Thada Adel cEDH deck.
Why do you think its not?
@@ericvernon1182watch the video
My Etali deck runs all the sun and moon cards it can, I'll add this for sure.
45:50 - Unfortunately, Sylvan Safekeeper can't target Yawgmoth because it has Protection from Humans.
i don't think you can sack snapcaster to cast flare of denial for free with flashback, since flashback is already an alternate cost, meaning you can't use the other aleternate cost on the card
Doesn't flare of denial make thassa's oracle even better?
You can just pitch the oracle once it ETBs if they try to disrupt your combo right?
seems like a good niche use. when would it be good looking at thoracle cedh list besides then? wouldnt a silence before comboing be way better.
@@brandandixon3943 I was also thinking legacy "Oops all spells" but tbh I'm not as familiar with what the deck would cut
However I feel that flare makes last second blowouts harder since if you have it in your hand, you're pretty safe after you Balustrade Spy, you get your 4 Narcomaebas, cast Dread Return with flashback and still have one to sacrifice to it if your opponent tries to counter the DR
I've seen these decks getting blown out last second with a stifle and this card makes it seem like that'd be at least a bit harder
@@dudemaister18 would this literally be the same as pact of negation in that deck? But has extra steps?
@@brandandixon3943 I think so but for some reason the lists I've seen don't play pact, but do play one force of negation. As I said I'm not super familiar with it so I don't know if it'd be worth to switch the force for one of this since it also works on your turn and you still have 4 forces in the main deck, and since the deck mulligans aggresively I'd figure flare is better than an option that 2 for 1's yourself
44:50 Sylvan Safecreature lmao
flare of denial and snapcaster doesn't work. the flashback is equal to the mana cost and you can only pay one alternative cost with flashback only being the only one that lets you cast from graveyard
I think he was saying that a deck that runs snapcaster could use it because you can sac the snapcaster to flare of denial, not cast flare of denial with snapcaster from the grave
@@123silverslash "you can flash back Flare of Denial and sack the Snapcaster TO the Flare of Denial".
If he meant what you are putting forward, he definitely did NOT articulate it, and because it's an info dump, people might take his word for it, no matter if that's what he meant or not.
This is incorrect. Flare’s is not an alternative cost, it’s an alternative way to pay said costs. Compare it to delve or conspiracy unraveler.
@@jonathanforsum5357 the notes for Conspiracy Unraveler say, in part, "If you cast a spell for another cost 'rather than pay its mana cost', you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs."
Flash Snap, with ETB on the stack, cast Flare sac the Snap, and then flashback a bolt or whatever else from the yard. That it still good value.
It's important to remember that because it has a enters-the-battlefield ability, Chthonian Nightmare can be interacted with before you can bounce it back because the etb has to resolve before you can do anything with it, even if you have the energy you need.
unless you already had energy, and if you have already used it once or twice on a 1-2 mana creature it might be too late
@@jerryturgin6583 No. Even then it can be removed in response to the trigger. As long as you could pay the cost on the original Recurring Nightmare, no one could ever touch it. That's what makes it recurring.
@@jerryturgin6583you can only activate it at sorcery speed so if your opponent decided to destroy it in response to the trigger it's dead
Something that could be tried with Phelia is in a Stacks deck blinking cards like High Noon to break symmetry. Attack and exile it so you can cast all your spells, then return it to put the brakes back on for opponents' turns.
Also something I'm not sure you caught that may also hint at Veteran Explorer coming later in the set: On winter moon, the flavor text's speaker is titled "veteran explorer".
You can Evoke a Subtlety and sac that to Flare of Denial if you want to get rid of two spells at once, don't know why you would but it's possible at least.
Richard won't like Winter Moon
Lol got'em. I love how the comment section was overwhelmingly for MLD if it meant punishing Richard for playing nonbasics in mono-Black 😂😂😂
Seth, why not evaluate Chthonian as "recurring nightmare for 3 drops"? It spots you the first three energy for free....
More than that, you can pay 0 energy sac A creature and get Driad Arbor and return nightmare to your hand. Or any creature that costs 1 or 2 and build up your energy.
Flare has the advantage of being casts for free on your own turn which gives combo players interaction
Beware using Kudo against Urza Saga tokens
Seth: correctly pronounces Chthonian
Also Seth: "Retreat to Coralham"
4:00 you can't sacrifice snapcaster for flare of denial if it got flashback and you are going to cast it from the graveyard this way
you actually can't use sylvan safekeeper on yawg, it has protection from humans
Winter moon is absolutely fair game in commander
In pure casual, this does nothing
But if the playgroup runs more optimized decks, they should be ready for this.
If you are worried about this card, play more interaction, and a more diverse manabase.
Seth Cthonian Nightmare doesn't need to be played in energy decks. It gives you 3 energy on etb so it works as long as you only get 3 or less drops. I think the card is way stronger in modern than you gave it credit for. A 2 mana recurring nightmare (even one that gets 3 cmc or less) is really broken.
3 cmc or less on the first go
Ugin's Labyrinth also seems like a strong way to protect your big bomby colorless threat from hand attack. Turn 1, play a land and tuck the threat away in exile to get some temporary ramp, then put it back in your hand on the end step before you can untap and cast it normally.
Winter Moon is going to be Tasty in Mono-White Marytr.. I love it..
Ugin's Labyrinth is also allowing you to hide a powerful card in a zone that has very little interaction and behind a land card, which are not heavily targeted in a lot of formats.
Spawn Gang Commander is an example of Devoid actually mattering on a card. Can get around pro red to ping off creatures
Yawg can’t be targeted by Safekeeper
Hahaha! Orim's chant and isochron sceptre. That takes me back. I have been hoping for a long time for a modern legal reprint of that card.
Chthonian Nightmare seems like it could be good with a 0 drop creature as 2 mana generate 3 energy loop. Play Ornithopter for 0 drop this for 2 get 3 energy pay 0 energy sac the ornithopter return to hand the nightmare and get the thopter. If I am thinking about the rules you may need a thopter in the grave to start this as the target but black energy battery lol
I think chtonian nightmare realistically will just be used with the three energy on etb, and looping small creatures with it still seems quite powerful.
Edit: for the retreat to coralheim combo bloodghast can just be replaced with field of the dead, which makes this really a 2 card combo.
Phelia can permanently exile a Karnstruct when it attacks
And Rhinos
One thing I haven't seen anyone else cover about the new Recurring Nightmare is that it goes infinite with Priest of Gix and any sac outlet.
A sac outlet... Like Cthonian Nightmare? 👀
@@AdmiralVortexPlus corpse Knight for infinite life loss
Of note, you can't free cast Flare of Denial from the yard w/ Snapcaster Mage!!
I was on the fence on Flare of Denail, but that amazing bordlerless art version sold me!
I hate that you can sacrifice the Evoke elementals, at least in theory, to the new free spells, it’s a narrow synergie but if the elemental and the flare of a color line up to a good synergie that could be problematic
4:00 you can't cast flare for the alternate cost off of snapcaster for the same reason you can't do so with force of will, you are casting it from the grave using an alternate cost. it doesn't just let you cast the spell, it gives it flashback equal to it's mana cost, which means you MUST still pay that mana cost when flashing it back
Seth says theres no super cool zombie lands shortly after mentioning field of the dead 😅
Flare of Denial is gonna be great with Yuriko or anything else that’s blue & black that likes being killed
having commander decks that even do 2 colors, winter moon feels like it has so much potential that my playgroups are very likely to outright ban that before it even releases.
too often later into games it can be a multi turn spell, you go to take your turn later in the game and most of your opponents have nearly all their lands tapped doing whatever fun stuff they wanted, but you drop this and suddenly they go from having 7~9 mana for their turn to just a few for several turns unless they have an answer right away, if you are tapped out with non-basics and have an answer you might need to wait multiple turns to do anything, unless of course the existence of this means most fun 3, 4 or 5 color decks just get hosed from now on and people play with mostly basics to fight against this and bloodmoon like effects
44:00 that's how I felt when I found grafdigger's cage back in the day because he played an all-in zombie infestation reanimator deck.
Take a shot every time Seth says "In commander"
I prefer to live
13:00 I think the one think in it’s favor is you can get smaller things and slowly get energy you need another thing but I don’t think you need a ton of
The wight of reliqury. So you have turn 1 elf ramp. Turn 2 get grizzly salvage or Satyr Wayfinder or some discard spell putting bloodghast in graveyard. Then turn 3 play the enchantment. turn 4 play wight of the reliquary with counter back up. You have a turn 4 inf mana. then use chord of calling to get craterhoof out.
Ummm am I the only one who noticed, the ugin labyrinth can be used to protect from hand attack. Especially with the 2 reliquary creatures activate at least instant speed grab the labyrinth hide an important colorless card get it back the turn you need it. So B/G or W/G... But also G/U has growth spiral to put it in at instant speed so if a eldrazi deck pops up in any of those 3 colors then remember this for those scam matchups.
Does emerge work with evoke? If i remember correctly you can emerge at instantspeed (unless i'm mixing it up with some other mechanic).
My favorite moment with Orim's chant was when it was in Standard and mana burn was still a thing. I was playing a W/X deck with Chant and my mono B opponent was mana screwed. After five or so turns with one mana, I see his face light up and then he casts Dark Ritual. In response, I cast Orim's Chant and his smile turned to a frown and asked "Does that mean I take three mana burn?". I nodded and tried not to rub it in, but it was pretty satisfying at the time. The game was basically over after that and I'm reminded by something Seth says, "Fun is zero sum".
Does Snappy actually work with Flare though? Since Snappy actually makes the flashback cost 1UU. Pretty sure you can't free cast off Snap. Anyway, I think it could work in decks that are running that 1 drop that makes a map token, or Overwhelmed Apprentice. Something that gets some value with it's etb.
I disagree with your evaluation of Chthonian Nightmare. Since it give you three energy already and returns to your hand as part of the cost, it can be used to loop the best 3 drops in the game easily in a graveyard deck. In addition the combo potential for this card is rediculous as all it takes to go infinite is 2 creatures that give you in total 4 or more mana (Priest of Gix, Priest of Urabrask, Cathodian, Burning Tree Emissary, etc., or haste enablers and things that tap for mana). I this cards is at least going to make a fun deck if not a very powerful one.
Just be careful of the black mana cost
Cthonian Nightmare goes infinite with Dockside really easily, infinite energy and treasure with 3+ artifact/enchantment count...
Infinite treasures needs 5 artifacts/enchantments most of the time, you can't get the creatures you're sacrificing, so you have to get something else and recast the Nightmare
I'm pretty certain that if your opponent attacks you with Emrakul you will lose regardless of if it is a 2/2 or not
Wait, if you control an Urza's Tower and one Planar Nexus, the Tower taps for 3 colorless?
How do goyf effects work with adventure cards? I feel like since the card specified “any number of cards with 4 different card types among them” means that adventures could count for 2 and consequently give greater recur potential to nethergoyf.
Chthonian Nightmare makes infinite mana with dockside on 5 and infinite sac/reanimate with dockside on 4 in commander. Just need any creature in grave that’s 3MV or less. Just be ready if you see any Rakdos color decks.
4 MV or less*
@@AdmiralVortex It’s MV equal to energy and it only gives 3 energy so you can only get a MV3 or less.
@@thedylanquant3218 Dockside costs 2, netting you one energy every time. So yes, you can loop it with a 4-drop
@@AdmiralVortex But to start it you need a 3 Drop so it only starts with a 3 drop.
@@thedylanquant3218 Why would you need a 3-drop to start?
I think Seth is misunderstanding the Nightmare card. Energy doesn't matter, it itself makes 3 energy. So you can just keep reanimating 3 drops for 2 mana. It's basically the best version of 2 mana "unearths" we've seen. Which could be strong enough for modern tbh. The fact that it's repeatable makes it quite scary in any Mentor shell.
Energy creatures don't create a loop because you will always need to recast Nightmare. All Virtuoso does is go from 3 to 6 energy which means the next time you cast Nightmare you can reanimate a 6 drop for 2 mana.
The only way to create a loop would be if there was a black Burning-Tree Emissary. Like Priest of Gix. You can also use a discard outlet for Nightmare + Renegade Rallier to bring back Nightmare.
Actually, can you reanimate the creature you sac? I'm not 100% sure because it's possible you need the target already in the graveyard as you are activating it.
That what's what I thought, it doesn't need energy to loop.
@@vulcanh254 you declare targets before you pay costs in magic, so you cannot reanimate the creature you sacrifice
@@bobboberson8297 Right, I'm always confused because Blood for Bones can reanimate the creature you sacced, but that's because Blood for Bones doesn't target. It makes you choose a creature.
This card means that without exile removal, 2 removal spells, or a counterspell, you can never, EVER, get rid of bowmaster because you can sac the token to get it back, then it makes another token.
It also means shepherd in that it's can escourt another creature "safely" aka exile the big threat
Doesn't Snapcaster only allow you to cast Flair of Denial for its flashback cost? Meaning, no sacrifice of the Snapcaster to cast it for free? It is an incredibly nice combo if not regardless of if it is good or not.
I love Insidious Roots and I know the less in a combo the better, but Wight of the Reliquary + Gravecrawler + Insidious Roots + Tyvar with any repeatable sac outlet is infinite plant tokens with infinite +1/+1 counters on them. Of course all except the last one will enter tapped since you're using the mana from them to cast gravecralwer, but if you have MULTIPLE Insidious roots...
Sylvan Safekeeper is a nonbo with Yawgmoth.

everyone doubted Felicia's archeology skills. she proved them wrong
I just want to know what Richard thinks of the 'Goyf's'. Is he preparing his tribal deck? Or are they slander against the original deity. 😅
i bet Crim is gonna make the "O" in Orim's chant into a "C"
Null Elemental Blast is a mandatory include in any commander deck. Its pretty much colorless Wash Away, since most commanders are multicolored.
can be tough on the mana base since u need a colorless source. u need like 20 colorless sources to even have a chance casting it early
@@brandandixon3943 you know what's played in literally every commander deck and produces colorless? Sol Ring/Mana Crypt.
Crazy huh?
@@metalhev3989 Count up the number of sources that produce colorless. It's like running a red card with only 5 mana source in your 100 card deck. Good luck. And mana crypt and sol ring are horrible to use this spell as a counterspell.
I love Orim's Chant. I played extended Psychatog in that time. 4 Scepters maindeck (also fantastic witch Counterspell and Fire/Ice), 3 Cunning Wishes and 1 Orim's Chant in sideboard :D My favourite deck EVER
Here's hoping that there's also a Chromatic Elemental Blast to reflect against the Null one
i am definetly trying winter moon in my kinnan commander deck
Regarding Flare of Denial, i think its best to think of it as turning any of your opponents spell into an edict instead.
If you think of it like that, then you understand that its useless to cast it for free against an opponent edict, and you have that as a floor.
You will only cast it for free if you would prefer geting edicted rather then allowing their spell to resolve.
This means that it is worse as a free counterspell compared to other free counterspell if you are trying to protect a creature from a removal spell.
That been said, i can think of plenty of decks that would still be happy to play this card.
Sylvan Safecreature is my new favorite Seth-ism
There is no better place to watch the spoiler season! God bless you Seth!
Ugin's Labyrinth is the card you needed for that Hideaway deck you just played. Would have made it a little more consistent and/or explosive.
Herighast is also a potential mono red aristocrat commander!
Priest of Gix is interesting with Cthonian Nightmare as a mana generator...hmm...
Just want to point out that with a Leyline of the Guildpact out, null elemental can target any of their nonland permanents. I think it is a great removal add for a popular deck.
28:00 if your opponent has 1or 2 life, Kudro just kills the death's shadow.
Winter Moon is awesome! More nonbasic hate and single target land destruction is absolutely what the format needs in casual sources. Am I going to find room? Idk, but every artifact deck should, at minimum, consider this card
Ugin's labyrinth returns any card from exile. Interesting exile protection.
It says "return that card", so only the card originally exiled with it, unfortunately.
28:13 It doesn't trade with a death's shadow. It straight up kills it. If your opponent has 1 life, it'll be a 1/1
Cause Death's Shadow has base p/t 13/13, and gets -X/-X based on life total. So this makes it a 2/2 and gets -X/-X based on life total.
Worth noting that Spawn-Gang Commander ramps you directly into Herigast - 5 (including RR) from the card itself and the remaining 3 mana from the Eldrazi Spawn, so I would imagine if someone did do Herigast deck Spawn-Gang Commander would be an auto-include to ramp out your commander.
You still have to pay the RR, but otherwise yes. You sac the commander, one token for the last mana, pay two red and you have a 6/6 and two minions
@@Ornithopter470 Damn, I guess I've misread Emerge then. For some reason I thought saccing the creature also provided the colored mana pips, not just generic mana.
Guess it shows I've practically never used Emerge.
Does the etb trigger on Cthonian Nightmare allow your opponent to answer the enchantment before you get to use it?
Yes. You get the trigger but they can interrupt a potential loop.
Early spoilers with Seth? God it must be my birthday! 🎂🎉
I am expecting some rise of dredge decks due to flare of denial. saccing narcomoeba and prized amalgam for it looks pretty good
"we've never had a one drop that's adding 3 power to the battlefield" proceeds to immediately show dragon's rage channeler
Urza's Cave is pretty awesome for commander. Not sure about modern.
