@dtopa7524 3 года назад

You don't "run out" of cards with Ethereal Valkyrie, it cantrips on ETB and attack into exile. I've found this card to be a value train in my games since most players are as oblivious to it's effects as you guys are and tend to let it stick around for several rounds.

@@lukeisstrange1533 so does that mean that for each card exiled, Ranar creates a +1+1 creature with flying? Or just a single creature every turn when a new card is exiled? Basically I’m wondering if this triggers as a group of cards are exiled or rather on a “per exiled card” basis?

@lukeisstrange1533 3 года назад

@@_GandalfTheGrey_ It triggers only once for each group of exiled cards bc ranar says "one or more" So if someone boardwipes while you have ranar and rip out you only get 1 flier But the cool thing is, that with rip and ranar out you could sac a token infinite times (each instance of saccing triggers ranar seperatly) bc after saccing the token, it instead gets exiled which triggers ranar.

@sulakkalus 3 года назад

Ethereal Valkyrie brings the cost of eldrazi down to a reasonable value and adds more of the element of surprise to your foretell pile. If you're looking for dollar rare upgrades, I highly recommend adding Mystifying Maze and Reveillark. Azor the Lawbringer is a great control mechanism as well, preventing your opponents from casting a lot of spells, drawing you cards, and dealing good combat damage. Clever Impersonator will also always be the best permanent on the battlefield with your ability to blink it over and over. Imagine blinking it into various Planeswalkers and getting to use all of their abilities each turn. I'm also surprised you said nothing about karmic guide or deadeye navigator, which are more expensive but below $10 and help give the deck resiliency against board wipes.

@leemiller6977 3 года назад

Thanks for another great deck tech of a newly released pre-con deck. I already have the deck and also most if not all of the extra foretell cards from the new set to put in here. Divine Visitation is absolutely going in my deck too....my buddies will soon all be getting wrecked from spirits/angels/removal/wipes!!!

@santiagoluaces8479 3 года назад

I actually turned my Ephara flash/flicker deck into this, so I was happy to see how many suggestions for the deck overlapped with what I was already planning to do. One janky card I really enjoyed in Ephara is Saltskitter though. Free exile and etb triggers (for cards like Ephara and Cathar’s Crusade) basically guaranteed every turn.

@Flailkerrin 2 года назад

5 months late as I only picked this deck up now, but thanks for the mention of Saltskitter! Never heard of it afore, but it's such a curious wee creature that absolutely sings in this deck! One of my favourite aspects of Commander is when somebody drops a real niche card from 14 years ago that nobody recognises!

Hey Command Zone. This was the first ever Precon I've ever purchased. I'm new to the magic world and I actually switched Ranar to Brago as my commander which helps the spirit token engine as well. And I haven't switched too man cards.

They should have reprinted Deadeye Navigator in this deck. Surprised it wasn’t mentioned when they were talking about Eldrazi Displacer as well

@Mich3linM4n 3 года назад

I find running one Wastes as one of your basic lands is often enough for Eldrazi displacer because you can use cards that fetch basic lands to find it. And if you're in a 3-4 color beck the panoramas can often fill the colorless slot too.

@@Bstone410 i mean. I swapped vega out because how nany cards are you expecting to play in foretell with vega out. best 3 or 4. I thought that keep watching cost the same and you have a bunch of flyers so you get maybe the same amount of cards but in one go.

@Iwoqvossik 3 года назад

While I don't totally disagree. I have Echo of Eons, Sevinne's Reclamation and Mass Diminish in there along with effects like Precognition Field and God-Eternal Kefnet. A lot of the other cards that cast from graveyard in Azorius felt pretty lackluster, or on the same level as their Foretell counter parts. I get the added benefit of not getting blown out by graveyard hate such as WAR Ashiok or Tormod's.

@mattroach4554 3 года назад

I think the most important card you omitted is Rest in Peace. With Ranar on the battlefield any creature dying will net you a token. Also, with Ashnod's Altar you can go infinite mana by sacing your own tokens which get exiled which triggers Ranar to get more tokens. Rest in Peace is 3 Euro in Europe so it fits the budget quite nicely. Great video as usual.

A "Foretell package" is just a plus to activate alongside Ranar, specially Etyhereal Valkyrie, Cosmos Charger, Cosmic Intervention, Depart the Realm.

@VaeDesigns 3 года назад

When I was showing my build of this, my friend really liked my addition of mirror mockery! This is a cheap rare 1U Enchantment Aura that says: Enchant creature Whenever enchanted creature attacks, you may create a token that's a copy of that creature. Exile that token at end of combat. I also think the way this deck plays well is by drawing as much as possible. Reconnaissance mission, bident of Thessa, ancestral vision, azor's gateway, and Kumena's awakening are all great inclusions in my opinion. So many foretell answers feel like you don't need to worry about max hand size because you always have card advantage in this deck. A above average focus on draw really seems to put this deck at an advantage while you're utilizing exile triggers every turn to generate blockers or pressure very effectively. Another fun way to capitalize on your spirits is by thinking tribal! Not too much, but enough to make yourself scary when your board is just full of intimidating trap card looking face down cards. Drogskoll captain, skyclave apparition, supreme phantom, intangible virtue, ruin ghost and hanged executioner fit very well also. I cut nearly everything thats over 4 CMC if I remember correctly because you win by having one really long turn. The Drake is a must have here for certain. Most expensive card i added is deadeye navigator!

@michaelhodges9184 3 года назад

I actually bought the precon and really leaned into the combo aspect of it, adding more of the combo pieces (alter of dementia, blasting station, Rest In Peace, etc) and lots of card draw/Windfall-like effects in the deck to make it a lot faster. I absolutely love the new cosmic intervention card as well since it adds another piece for the potential combo. I also added a subtle spirit tribal undertone to the deck as there are some pretty cool synergies with all of the spirits Ranar makes. Settle the Wreckage is another great card in the deck as well since normally you can make a lot of spirit tokens which you can target with its ability to land ramp in an azorious deck which is quite nice.

@ericmoses4264 3 года назад

I think the commander is really interesting, I thought of using the suspend mechanic to exile for more value. It may be a good strategy especially with time spiral remastered about to drop. I also considered Cosima but I wonder each time I look at Cosima if the ability works when it is exiled through means other than it's ability at your upkeep. It seems you would have to exile it at your upkeep per the text. With the many spell based flicker effects in the deck what I am most interested in running is Orvar due to the way it combos with ghostly flicker generating mana ramp.

Etheareal Valkyrie is an awesome card .. its basically a 4 Mana 4/4 flyer with card draw, because it reduces the mana cost of something else right when you play it.. and.. you reduce your handsize which is important for the card you just talked before.. Tales of Anchestors. Also .. those cards remain foretold even when Valkyrie gets removed. And! .. you can foretell every card .. so it synergizes well with cards from old format. It´s just awesome .. I use this cards in every white/blue deck from now on

I think the ethereal valkyrie is actually really good with Ranar as it does help you both draw, reduce costs of spells and make flying tokens. Its an excellent blink target and if you have the instant flicker spells you can attack and flicker at the same time getting double the effect.

@yetiz_gaming230 3 года назад

Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere but orvar is actually silly in the deck. I cracked one and slotted it in. When you target your creatures with blinks you get tokens of them kinda like a panhamonicon

@tcgnerd1962 3 года назад

Sage of Beyond reduces cost for the Commander from the command zone or flashback cost aswell , i think this is worth mentioning 😋

@ricohard1986 3 года назад

Actually, Doesn't it go really well into Izzet+ decks with Impulsive draw type 'exile X cards you may play them before your next endstep'? draw and mana reduction?

I would like to see you both select 10 in and 10 out to see how you would each upgrade the decks in different directions

@nathantawfik7100 3 года назад

I might be wrong here, so fact check me, but I think with Archaeomancer and peregrine drake on the battlefield you can get infinite mana with ghostly flicker, which is already in the precon. Pay 3 to flicker both, get it back in hand and 5 mana untapped. Float it all and spend 3 to do it again, infinite mana.

I just found out about Angelic Ascension, which is which is an 18-cent uncommon from the last coreset. It exiles a creature or planeswalker for 1W and the controller creates a Serra Angel token. Optimally it is a surgical removal tool for whenever you're about to lose the game and just need to remove something and you don't care what happens after it (ala, a win the game planeswalker went down in a Super Friends deck and is about to ultimate because of doubling season) and ot hits planeswalkers which is rare. Most of the time. It's never dead in your hand though because if your commander is out you can target your own Spirit and it reads 'create a 4/4 Angel for 1W' which is an amazing rate.

@darkflame9410 3 года назад

I'm surprised you guys didn't put in the Naru Meha / Ghostly Flicker combo into the deck. Ghostly flicker is already in the deck and Naru Meha is just value with a good portion of the deck, especially if you go the blink route.

Just got this deck ans even 2 years later in holds up! Beat 2 dr who decks with it and had a ton of fun doing it!!!

@chrisschneider2393 4 месяца назад

Did you add these upgrades? Sleeving mine up tonight. Excited to try it out.

@Ginger0616 4 месяца назад

@chrisschneider2393 ya I added these upgrades plus a few more and its a super fun deck to play! Enjoy!

@chrisschneider2393 4 месяца назад

One thing I noticed josh and Jimmy have mentioned a few times about Mystic reflections on using board wipes and how it isn't good... check the errata it states that if the creature Mystic reflections is using is removed .. the next time a a creature would enter you would use the "printed" creature as it last existed. So if you board wipe butnjust prior copied lets say a blight steel, your next creature to come out would be a blight steel. Am I wrong on that?

@jacobslutsky9502 3 года назад

I believe the deck has ghostly flicker and Naru Meha, Master Wizard is like $2.82 I believe so I put that in and I also had a venser lying around so he’s in too lol

@chrism4919 3 года назад

Just bought it today can’t wait to try it out. Also what about adding Maze Sentinel, your multicolor creatures gain vigilance. Also thoughts on Cyclone Summoner (5UU) bounces “all permanents” to their owners hands except for giants, wizards, and lands when cast from your hand

@jasonmalin1010 3 года назад

Also I picked this up for 20 bucks compared to 40 for my quandrix deck ,I see the value there but I am more excited to upgrade this one.

@dkicklighter2535 3 года назад

Well felidar guardian and resto angel just make it so you can get tokens on an opponents end step. Prince Charming and flickerwisp are also a way to trigger the blue white god every turn.

@jttownsend3576 3 года назад

Definitely putting Tales of the Ancestors in Xyris and Nekusar!

@Scopesightzx 3 года назад

I would think that Divine Visitation would be a decent include, making big angels instead of spirits any time your deck does basically anything seems sweet

@philippebf10 3 года назад

20 years ago ultra pro were great ... Now its all in dragon shield mate

@LeKrutes 3 года назад

They where crap then 2. But we did not know any beter. Know dragon shield is king.

@therogueduelist5504 3 года назад

Surprised path to exile and/or swords to plowshares aren't in the deck and weren't mentioned as aadd-ins

@thumbwrestler12 3 года назад

Love this deck upgrade it was pretty helpful

@chasebalcziunas4289 3 года назад

Making white an equalizer would be a neat direction to see the color move towards.

@SpidersDenGaming 3 года назад

Anointed Procession and Divine Visitation would be great in this deck

@marendrayudapratama3827 3 года назад

cathar's crusade is more better and cheap i think

@SpidersDenGaming 3 года назад

Cathar's Crusade adds +1/+1 counters...I was talking using Anointed for doubling tokens and divine to make them all 4/4 Angels

@andrewcheatwood5970 3 года назад

I don’t know if anyone mentioned these or if they did, but infinite tokens and mana is easy by adding deadeye navigator and peregrine drake. Plus, adding a foretell card in Starnheim unleashed, you give the infinite mana a place to go.
