I just love that the Scarecrows in Bloomburrow are just changelings instead, like they're obviously specifically colorless draft cards with maybe some mana fixing that would never be played anywhere else but they proc all the typal synergies for draft
@@LittleMushroomGuy Cool, glad someone can actually put the interaction to use. I tried building a deck around the concept, but it either focused too much on either Amass or Changeling and never really saw the interaction, or was so unfocused than it just ran poorly. But if it helps your deck out, that's good to know!
@@lordroyalnightmare I shelved that deck because of similar reasons. I focused on Orcs but now I can just make a spell slinger deck with changelings :)
There's so many cool interactions changeling has, ive built multiple decks with mostly unique cards that combo off of different creature types. Someone already mentioned army but RAW (they errata'd it, errrrrrr) you can run a legendary changeling with a doctors companion because changelings are all universes beyond creature types, which is so weird from a flavor perspective.
I really liked how they did it in MH1! Among the draft archetypes, three color pairs had a tribal theme: white-red slivers, red-black goblins, and black-blue ninjas. This allowed changelings to come in as the white-black pair that you could either focus on or use to spruce up any of the other three through a shared color and maybe a little bit of splash. Changeling Outcast was great as an unblockable 1/1 for easy ninjutsu, for instance, and Irregular Cohort, wth it's ETB token 2/2, would let you double up on the sliver buffs!
Find it interesting that for Yugioh's short lived Battle Pack draft format, it took them until the last set to implement a fix like changeling, in that they made it so all Monster cards counted as all monster types.
Can anything with all creature types truly be anything *but* an "official Changeling"? It's a Changeling after all, along with a Goblin, Ooze, Human, Vampire, Elf, Warrior, Doctor, Beast, Cat, Tyranid, Bird, Bat, Assassin... Edit: Dang it, I got the keyword and the creature type mixed up.
Coincidently im building a Sliver Hivelord Changeling Tribal EDH deck. The "tribe" is extremely flexible, troughout all colors and fells a bit too generic and not at all a solid mass of cards with a common sinergy. Kaldaheim did wonders to the archetype!
What if you tweaked this mechanic to be "This card is every creature type among creatures you control"? That might restrict them to being a compliment to a tribal deck because without real creatures of the type in play they'd lose all tribal synergies. It could also create some fun dynamics where the opponent is incentivised to try and snipe the real creatures.
Is there a problem when a creature type has tribal support and there are too many cards in that type? Or just having too many cards with that type in general?
@@ForrestImel Forrest, please don't take these comments as a judgement call about your videos. I like the content of your videos. I've liked game design as a hobby for years. This is my tongue-in-cheek way to let others know what sort of content they can expect from these discussions. My original idea was to post rules for a drinking game for when you watch these episodes. Example: drink whenever they say Mark Rosewater, or Richard Garfield. Drink whenever one of them complain about Commander. Etc. :D
@@bensonprice4027 oh you are totally fine, I am definitely taking it the way you are intending haha. I'm very happy to see your comments because sometimes I am surprised at how many different games we do end up mentioning so when I see that we just talked about Magic I just think its very funny haha

Hey, 5c changelings is a deck! (I run it)
Yay finally a video about the most fun magic format!!!
My favorite thing is that all changelings have the creature-type "child" and the creature-type "soldier". Unfinity sure was a funny set.
They all have the type "child" and the type "elder". Make it make sense
Also Warrior and Coward
@@Liliana_the_ghost_catAre you familiar with Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End?
@@jacobd1984 who?
@@Liliana_the_ghost_cat I believe that was meant for LittleMushroomGuy
I like how it works with Amass abilities, since a creature with Changeling is an army
That’s a cool interaction!
😮 You just saved my Saruman deck :)

Ability idea: "Planesling: this planeswalker has all planeswalker names."
I think it's planeswalker types, unless you mean the actual name
Best commentary on magic today. Today in the broad sense.

Had never looked that closely at Zask and didn't know it allowed that interaction. I knew about Haakon but didn't know Zask could do it too.

Every Changeling is a Shapeshifter but not every Shapeshifter is a Changeling

Really good thoughts tho. Really enjoy the cast! Greetings from Brazil!

Ya know i thought duskmorne was gonna be on lorwyn for mad long and i have no idea where that came from 😂
Haha duskmorne does sound like a Lorwyn thing - morningtide, shadowmoor. Makes sense to me!

In limited, yeah. It's why there isn't a "phyrexian tribal" archetype in ONE.
@@adamcraftian And constructed ?
Games mentioned in this video:
Magic: The Gathering
Mark Rosewater was mentioned.
haha, thanks for keeping us accountable, we promise to do better in the future and mention more than one game
What a shocker on the video titled about MTG
