One of the best plays ive ever seen was Turn 1: Player 1 draws a card, passes turn, discards anger. Player 2 bajouka bog pass turn

@timkvernen4852 Год назад

Is skipping a land drop to discard Anger good, though? Now you're playing everything a turn later so that they can attack a turn earlier? It seems like it nets zero to miss a land drop.

@connerferguson1667 Год назад

Ok, hear me out, Lair of the Hydra has easily become one of my favorite green cards of all time. I was not impressed with it at first, but no card has single handedly won me more games of commander. It easily goes undetected as a land (also making it hard to remove) and fits with greens ramp super well as an X spell. Pesky late game board wipe? No worries, just throw the ton of mana you have (because you’re in green) into a huge hydra that basically has haste to finish things off!

@kevinj4002 Год назад

I had a proxied Concordant Crossroads was in my Sythis deck to give haste to infinite tokens, got a japanese copy for $19, very happy to see the reprint.

@crawdaddy2004 Год назад

If people think Yavimaya is significantly worse than Urborg, just remember that Green has creatures and spells that untap FORESTS or have FORESTS tap for additional mana.

@HomeCookinMTG Год назад

Both cards are incredible. I'd argue urborg is slightly better because cabal coffers exists, and rafellos is banned, but it's definitely not significantly worse, especially when you take into consideration you get the added bonus of it being an overrun in your elf tribal deck.

@crawdaddy2004 Год назад

@@HomeCookinMTG I think there’s a legitimate debate between the two. Yea, Cabal Coffers, Bubbling Muck and the two creatures I can’t think of the names of right now, but Arbor Elf, Utopia Sprawl, the Elf forestwalk, Nissa Who Shakes the World… I’m just saying that it’s certainly closer than most people realize. If you’ve never untapped a Nykthos with Arbor Elf (or Gaea’s Cradle if you happen to have bought one more than five or six years ago), you haven’t truly lived.

@HomeCookinMTG Год назад

@@crawdaddy2004 don't get me wrong, I don't think they're very far apart at all, I just think black is also marginally more powerful than green in the format in general, which kind of sqays my opinion toward Urborg being slightly better, but it isn't by much. If Urborg is a 10, Yavamaya is a 9.5.

@nelsikegaming Год назад

Yavimaya does not let you fetch any land as forest cards. It only changes the land types of lands on the battlefield.

@Sonicron86 Год назад

Phyrexian Altar is a beast of a card. It's a key piece for several lines of play in my Elenda Aristocrats, and it slaps so damn hard every time it's in play. I can see why this thing keeps going back up to the 80-100 range, and I'm very, very glad I was able to pick it up for 15 a few years back. Aside from the obvious choice of Fetches, this is probably THE card in this video that people shouldn't sleep on right now.

@geamckay Год назад

I highly recommend Keen Duelist for its price, surprising amount of damage it can do and the politics.

@julianvickers Год назад

Someone already said as much but teferi puts a huge target on your back as soon as you play him. Because he reads like a card that says “in 1.5 turn cycles you win the game”, it becomes a 3v1 as soon as he hits the table. For that reason it’s kinda not worth playing, at least in my meta.

@SpaceDad87 Год назад

@thrillhouse4151 Год назад

Yeah those fetchlands were sooo expensive before the reprints, it feels like yesterday when Scalding Tarn was like $100, now the other half of the fetchlands are the expensive ones, it’s flipped from what it was a couple years ago.

@GnowNitsujL Год назад

Yeah. I feel a bit silly now buying the set of 5 from MH2 when they came out at their essentially pre-order price. Should have waited, paid about $100 more than I would have if I bought them now, but you live and learn!

@HomeCookinMTG Год назад

The enemy and allied fetches is always been bouncing back and forth between which ones are the most expensive. The allied ones were way more expensive before khans of tarkir came out. Like I'm pretty sure most of them are around the same price they were before the khans reprint. But unless we see them in another standard and set I feel like 12 to $20 this is low as any of them are ever going to get

@simplyyunak3189 Год назад

totally agree with this list. MDFC Lands make bounce Lands better, since you can cast the sorcery/Instant side of the MDFC Land from your hand if you need it later in the game. I like this a lot.

@johnsenior4445 Год назад

@dylangarcia2644 Год назад

Teferi master of time is an absolute house. Assuming you play it in the time you should play a planes walker. It’s not one of those ones you play it to get the value once in a turn. The -3 can come up. Slam it down -3 for a problematic creature. They get it back so I guess it’s good if you plan to attack. And get a creature through. BUT. You play it when you have a board or when no one has a board or played early this card is an absolute house in casual. Every turn you loot or prevent a creature from attacking And you get to take extra turn.

@foggyparadigm4416 Год назад

I will agree that Druid of Purification looks great. After playing it 3 times, I cut it from all of my decks. Each time it was played, the politics resulted in everyone voting to not destroy anything beyond what I chose. It just became a 4 mana 1 for 1 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I'll give it another try in the future.

27:24 Rulings: 6/18/2021 Land cards not on the battlefield aren't Forests while Yavimaya is on the battlefield. 6/18/2021 Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth isn't a Forest while it's not on the battlefield. 6/18/2021 Yavimaya's ability causes each land on the battlefield to have the land type Forest. Any land that's a Forest has the ability “Tap: Add Green.” Nothing else changes about those lands, including their names, other subtypes, and whether they're legendary, basic, or snow.

@ebbandfloatzel Год назад

Big thing to note on yavimaya: Urborg is actually self sufficient in black due to the many black mana doublers. You don't need a specific card to make it go off, whereas green has like... The one Nissa? I genuinely can't think of anything more because green's Cabal Coffers equivalent is banned. Yavimaya is a cool card. It's worth it at the price. But it's not going to impact your game like an Urborg.

"A funny thing about Vanquish the Horde stems from when I borrowed someone else's deck to play. Someone else had a Scute Swarm out and I copied all of them to get 187 tokens. Then I cast Vanquish the Horde, held priority, and cast Heroic Intervention. Basically I popped off. Sadly I lost because someone had a Soul Sister and gained 500 life."
