    @bigbrainenergyguy 2 місяці тому +26

    Split up seems like it will be insane in decks built around flying/unblockable creatures. You just have to attack every turn, and if they swing back you can untap and destroy all tapped creatures before going to combat. If they don't attack you swing over their board with your fliers, then destroy all untapped creatures in your second main phase. Just the possibility that you could have it forces your opponent to play sub-optimally, attacking with only half their board or risk getting hit with a one-sided wipe for only 3 mana. Even if they play around it like this, they end up losing the race against your fliers. Even if it doesn't play out exactly like this in every game, as Rarran pointed out the floor for the card is still pretty decent. Prepare to see a lot of it.

    • @tudornaconecinii3609
      @tudornaconecinii3609 2 місяці тому +2

      It will also be a good card in creatureless or creature light control decks, straight up.
      Think about what the floor is in those decks. The floor is an unconditional removal spell that goes through hexproof. At 3 cost in monowhite. That's already playable. You can't *really* play around it, since the thing you most want to kill will always die, as you will declare tapped if it's tapped or untapped if it's untapped.

  • @jajob13
    @jajob13 2 місяці тому +26

    38:38 Technically, there is a way to abuse The Mindskinner in standard now, and by turn 4. Get Mindskinner out on turn 3. Turn 4 swing, after blockers are declared, play Final Showdown turning off all creature abilities. Deal 10 damage. After combat, play Burn Together, dealing another 10 to face. It needs very specific mana and cards. You'd have to be crazy to think it is a reliable wincon. But it does exist, and it sounds like my kind of crazy.

      If not for the mana requirements for both it would combo pretty well with the very next card they showed. The two could become an extra win condition for Dimir Combo decks in Commander. Especially since both work well individually with other combos common to the colors.

      Three color turn four finisher isn't very reliable, especially with that three blue you need, but two color turn 5 could be a lot more reliable. Turn three Bandit's Haul (mana rock for any color) or some kind of mana making play. Turn four The Mindskinner. Turn 5 Suspine Lynx, attack with Mindskinner, play Burn Together. It's even more reliable because damage can't be prevented and they can't gain life (Suspine Lynx). Suspine Lynx even deals a little damage when it enters (based on non-basic lands opponent controls) so a Food eaten in reaction might not even help them. You could fake all blue/mill as well. Island, Island, Island, Bandit's Haul, turn 4 Mirage Mesa (tapped, one of a named color) and hope they don't notice you chose red, turn 5 Mountain.

    I'm definitely gonna cook a deck with The Mindskinner. It reads "prevent that damage". That means cards like Wild Slash or Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp that have "damage can't be prevented this turn" on it, make The Mindskinner an actual unblockable 10 power creature. You can also fling it at your opponent afterwards. That's 20 damage right there LOL.

    @kokoro-no-me 2 місяці тому +20

    It dawned on me that Mistmoors might just be a Fable of the Mirror Breaker at home-you kind of have to deal with the insects (two of them, too…Mirrex and Fountainport only gets you one body for about the same cost, and with Farewell gone, this might as well be a creature-pumping land that says “pay mana cost to discard a card, get two creatures”), AND you have to deal with the overlord itself later on, or right away, because if it blinks it breeds more insects. It makes single target creature removal painful…
    Idk, but it does seem slow. If it was impending-three mana cost, the card would probably be crazy

    • @alchemy3830
      @alchemy3830 2 місяці тому +7

    odds of getting 2 or more lands in the first two cards is about 80%
    odds of drawing a leyline in the first 7 is about 38%
    odds of a mouse or scamp in 8 cards is about 67%
    odds of a monstrous rage or the other one which i forgot the name of is also 67%
    and the odds of getting a sellsword in the first 8 is about 42%

    dread putting one of two cards into the graveyard allows you to decide what goes into the graveyard, which helps getting the 4 card types there quicker, and it also allows you to specifically put delirium creatures into the graveyard. while at the same time having the benefit of dread, which for instance with hauntwoods shrieker lets you manacheat expensive cards.

    urabrask's forge doesnt synergize very well with chainsaw imo. sure, you can scale up the chainsaw but equip is a sorcery speed ability and the tokens enter only once youve passed to the attack phase. if theres a simple and flexible way of equipping at instant speed, i could see it though. you could always just combo them for the scaling and then equip it to a heartfire hero but if youve got your chainsaw up to a big number with the forge, they should already be nearly dead. forge is a backbreaking card on its own, not sure it needs a 2 mana, sorcery speed deal 3 to a creature that needs a haste creature to take advantage of the scaling.

    I think enduring curiosity will be grea for the haughty djinn deck. They may only be drawing one card but having it be repeatable, getting to cut some card draw spells for more counters/protection, and getting to hold it up incase they need to counter something is very synergistic with that deck.

    Back in the day, Screaming Nemesis would be crazy. I'm remniscent of Hellrider.
    The damage redirection ability is essentially evasion, but remember that red cards due to tempo usually get way more use out of being effectively unblockable than other colors, since the opponent can't afford to lose as much life by ignoring the creature. This effect is extremely good in aggro, don't get too distracted by the lifegain prevention.
    But again, I'm not too acquainted with the current format. Just keep an eye out for such effects.

  • @theNightDice
    @theNightDice 2 місяці тому

    I think the closest thing to what Rarran was asking around 39:40 would be an effect that says "damage can't be prevented", since it not only lets you deal the damage but also get the mill.
    It only gets printed onto red cards and Questing Beast, but you can get it for one or two mana (and only one red pip) so it's splashable in every format but Commander that contains the prevention card. Might be worth trying to brew a 60-card deck around that, but idk if that's good enough to go competitive.

    • @nulshift
      @nulshift 2 місяці тому

      At the very least, it's a two card combo. The unfortunate part is that it's a two card combo that doesn't guarantee victory. The mana pips are rough, and because it doesn't have haste and only 1 toughness, even the cheapest removal spells can stop it. Shock kills it. Playful shove kills it and draws a card. Flick a coin kills it, creates a treasure, and draws a card.
      Though it doesn't get killed by cut down! That's a plus.

    I think not knowing about Glissa Sunslayer really hurts the evaluation of a few of the overlords. The black and green ones fit her colors so she immediately is able to synergize with them, and then maybe the white one. Glissa has first strike and deathtouch, making her a powerful attacker and defender, and when she hits the opponent one of her modes lets you remove 3 counters from something, speeding up the impending overlords

    Zimone looks like something that is awful but could be sleeper, I think people forget about fetch lands or sacrifice spells that eat your lands for more. Getting a fetch land on 5 gets you 2 5/5 creatures, which should not be underestimated.
    The ultimate Disneyland scenario is getting the overlord impending on 3 getting a 4th land playing Zimone on turn 4 immediately getting the fetch land and you get a 3 mana 11/11 value in 3 bodies (nevermind, the token is a legendary so you can only have one) doesn't seem good enough if you can only get one

    Mindskinner and Syr Konrad actually have the potential to start a mill loop, especially in commander. Mindskinner mills each opponent ten, then they mill another three for each Konrad trigger (hits each opponent for 1 damage for 3 total, then that 3 damage turns into mill for each opponent). Then they mill again, and again, till nobody mills any creatures. With one hit from Mindskinner milling 10 for each opponent, the statistical chance of hitting multiple creatures is pretty high.

    Enduring Curiosity should be really good in my Sun Quan, Lord of Wu EDH deck. It makes all my creatures unlockable, so this card would turn all my creatures' attacks into card draw. That deck gets targeted a lot, so the fact that this has one time automatic recursion is really good as well.

      The Gix upside is that it primarily sees play in mono-black, where the bit of extra card draw goes a long way and it usually draws you into removal to keep your creatures connecting. Most of the time you wanna go bat on turn 2 into gix on t3 and the lifeloss gets negated by the bat lifegain
