Duskmourn Spoilers | Unblockable 10/1 for Three???? | MTG 

I really thought the blue 10/1 was going to be a blue Ball Lightning.

I imagine that the main reason you would use leyline of mutation is the fact that it's potentially free. It's a risk/reward proposition where you either draw it in your opening hand and accelerate your game plan by one turn or pay 1 more mana versus the cost of fist of suns. If your win condition is dropping emracul for 5 mana super early, that one turn could make all the difference.

It's very funny to me that "dies to Doomblade" used to mean something very like "dies to Bolt/Cut Down/Bowmasters" does now because Doomblade was sort of the only game in town so black creatures or prot-black creatures that dodged it became the premium threats.

Omnivorous Flytrap is even worse than it appears on paper… you need MEGAdelirium to get the counter doubling. I can’t imagine that most delirium decks will be built around getting _six_ types in the graveyard. That sounds ridiculously difficult.

11:16, you can build a selesnya deck with a bit of a combo out of Bridle Bill and Kami of whispered hopes. Theoretically, you can get to thousands of power on like turn 5. Bill can repeatedly double the counters, which grows Kami, which makes her tap for immense mana. That's how I learned the limit for floating mana on Arena. It's 2000

Leyline of Mutation is a weird design choice. Effectively it means Green doesn’t get a leyline this cycle. The other four colors get one, and then five-color gets Mutation.

As a guy who regularly used Fist of the Suns to do silly things with treasures, don't underestimate what a few treasures can do with a fist out.

I am so excited to use Unholy Lobby in my Tasha, the Witch Queen deck! Her Tokens are demons and because of her lorein dnd(she wrote the Demonomicon), almost all creatures i run are demons. This is perfect!

I cant put into words how happy I am about The Mind Render as a commander mill player

@6:20 Not gonna play defense, but it _can_ block, it _can_ kill an X/10 on combat. It's a weird, cool card that has nearly as much flavor text as it does rules text. Tastes like a real Magic card.

Always enjoy the spoiler videos, thanks seth!

Here's another neat trick with mind render. After blocks, before damage, cast dress down and smack for 10. Conveniently dress down also protects from bowmasters temporarily

For Commander, I can think to go with Ramos Dragon Engine deck. By removing 5 counters you get double wubrg, enough to cast 2 of any spells, and then for each colour of spell you are adding on another coumter.

Reluctant Role Model = Dwight from Dead by Daylight

6:21 Dress Down and Skullcrack stock goes brrrrr. Alchemist Gambit goes ghough-ghough-ghough in commander

Unholy Lobby + Black Market Connections, -3 life to keep a demon on board, you'll gain 2 and they'll lose 2 and you'll draw a card.

Leyline of Mutation could make some kind of a Morophon modern deck if people can figure out a good way to Turbo the big changeling out by Turn 4

There’s a few cards that say spells cost wubrg less, I’m sure someone will break that leyline in some format, give it some time

I'm really excited to try Mind Render in Commander as it's got so many funny ways to build it. I personally like the idea of stacking the deck with cheap, no threat, low power creatures that can't be blocked or flying (like thopter tokens). Fill the board, drop Mind Render, and keep up counters. Then next turn, slam Dragon Throne of Tarkir (which also adds trample!), Throne on Mind Render, activate, and swing out with the team for the win.

"Damage can't be prevented" effects looking kinda sus rn

Note that the phyrexian arena room self sustain itself, like the demon is not just a vanilla demon, but that turn it kinda ensures you have a demon to gain 2 life and drain instead of loosing life to the phyrexian arena. Worth considering for commander purposes bcs you'd gonna get a couple of "Free" draws out of it if you unlock the room :)

I see The Mind Renderer as something that you drop as the game ender. Have setup like a Syr Konrad and Bruvac out, then drop this and find a way to start the absurdity.

That flavor text on Grab the Prize though, that team is on point this set.

You can play a card like dress down to make The Mind Render lose abillities after blocks for a raw 10 damage.

Mind render with any effect that says "damage can't be prevented" sounds hilarious. There's some other cool cards for pioneer / explorer with this ability like wild slash (1 mana shock) and insult (double the damage).

From dusk till mourn, let's go!

The shapeshifter from BMC counts as a demon too. Could work well. Or if they get rid of it you’ll take 5 for the turn.

Everytime I see a ball lightening like card, huge power, 1 toughness, I think of Varolz the Scar-striped, I don't know why it's that card, but a fond combo using Slumbering Dragon and Vexing Devil, with Lotleth Troll for reanimation.

the green leyline is amazing for Morophon decks, so it's 100% going in my Morophon slivers deck

I can’t wait to build mono blue Voltron mill with that 10/1

where's the "Can't cast human spells this way" clause for that leyline

Unholy Lobby with the Black Market Connections is great, you can make the Changling on your upkeep so they would have to kill it on your turn, otherwise you drain them for 2, making the changling only cost you 1 life. Also, if you still have the changeling you can either draw or get a treasure to either gain 1 or break even. All depends on what you need. Btw, you could just DEMONic tutor for a demon with the new demon tutor =p

Unholy Lobby definitely makes my Shilgengar deck, I was running Call of the Ring and this is better.

mind render is really really funny with dress down

Green essentially not getting a new Leyline. Classy, WotC. Kinda jazzed about Reluctant Role Model, though. My Arwen, Mortal Queen list has got a spot for it.

The mind render will go perfect in my grandiloquent commander deck.

One of each of the moxes and leyline of mutation in your opening hand.

Reluctant role model is definitely gonna be a combo piece for Tayam in Commander

Imma build around Role Model, for sure. Seles Counters.

unholy lobby plus changeling equals great

My thoughts on Leyline of Mutation ever since it was spoiled was that it would just slot into the LotGP decks since all you really have to do is have some arbor elves, urban sprawls, etc to really accelerate your game plan and since your lands don't matter anymore you can just do crazy things. I think it's gonna make that deck even better since you don't always have to cast that FoS effect. Imagine this: T0 Leyline of the Guildpact T1 Forest, Arbor Elf T2 Forest, Urban Sprawl into Leyline of Mutation T3 literally any of the FoS payoffs lul

Mind render in my Umbris deck go brrrrrrrrr

Leyline may do nothing for the first few turns but I don't think you can ever underestimate getting something for free.

Mono blue Voltron mill deck? That 10/1 is super interesting, at least in commander, especially since it says “each” opponent. Really just need to protect from removal and each turn you mill at least 10 cards per turn. However, I would imagine that would draw major hate at a table.

Leyline of mutation may not have an effect until turn 5, but neither does fist of suns. Costing one more to cast fairly probably doesn’t even matter that much for that reason. I could see decks that are trying to cheat Emrakul into play a different way playing a few copies as a backup plan

“A buff Mclovin” lmao

Turn 3 mind render, turn 4 dress down before damage and fling

Secret Lair: McLovin

Ah great green gets a 3 mana 2/4 as its rare. exciting.

More stuff for my demon tribal edh I'm all for

Mind Render in to Questing Beast might be neat.

I don’t think Mind Render is great in Mothman. It’ll combo out with Syr Konrad, but Mothman isn’t usually a deck that’s winning with mill. Milling in chunks of 10 probably means the Mothman wastes counters, and having him get in but not assign commander damage or hurt anyone’s life total seems rough. The mill win seems possible but if someone removes the mind render at the wrong time, you just fall behind. Meanwhile, life loss from rad counters doesn’t trigger it.

Unholy Lobby (3) into Sheoldred (4) into the Demon (5) is nasty and negates the damage.

Any lose all abilities carss work with mind render. Maybe tishana tidebringer on on hit effect

Break Down the Door: Green gets another flash creature.

This spoiler season is so weird, why were there like no cards at all yesterday but we got half the set a day or two before??? like what's up with that?

Is the Mind Render too slow of a mill engine for you ? Assault suit. Have fun guys !

4:35 this is just leyline > omniscience at home😂

Mindcrank is similar to the Mind render, but the opponent still takes damage.

The blue mill creature should have Shadow, instead of unblockable. Duskmourne would have been the perfect set to bring Shadow back

Mindcrank converts damage to mill while still allowing damage for only 2. But you don't get a 10/1 with it.

My problem with leyline of mutation is that i cant use jegantha, the wellspring as a companion if i have it in my deck

Seems Leyline of Mutation bypasses the commander tax I think.

One we get llanowar elves, that demon deck sounds kinda nice ngl

can you use a pithing needle on the mind render to make it deal combat damage?

Maybe Greenhouse works well with Leyline of Mutation.

Heeeeeeere’s Johnny!

11:05 when it comes to seeing how many counters you can get on a creature, I've tried it a few times against the bot on arena. I've hit a RIDICULOUS amount of +1/+1 counters on a creature. This was before MH3 came out. The most i see from my screenshots is 1,073,741,823 counters on 16 copies of railway brawler. Pretty sure the game crashes at that point

Blade of Selves + The Mind Render

So not having to pay 4 mana on turn 4 and instead play another powerful ramp spell or react to the board for Leyline of mutation isn't powerful?

I'm flabergasted each time I see one last job that it is not in a top tier deck. Standard is truely degenerate nowadays but as narrow as always sadly.

only seeing the 10/1 that makes you mill insted of taking damage, made me think of a simic deck were you use 4 copies of the mind render and half of the deck are buffs spells.

Funny that break the door down doesnt unlock a room. Maybe it was too broken.

Valgavoth and "The Mind Render" are 100% best friends. When Crim says he wants to play a Phyrexian Obliterator followed by a Cryptic Command, I REALLY get it now.

Mind render, mirror box and blade of selves......30 card mill each turn in commander....I'm brewing it already

Break down the door is also a reference to “The Shining”

Time for Izzit Monsters, lol

The Mind Render looks like it was designed for commander. I mean why would it be a legend otherwise?

Stifle-renderer bouta be busted

I cast fling on my Three mana 10/1

Cant you attack with mind reader and then dress down it after blocks?

Honestly, I don't feel too excited about this set.

First time watching this RU-vidr. I don't wanna be mean but I hope that is his natural voice and he isn't doing that on purpose.

1 red mana, 3/3 goblin with Prowess, Menace, Haste, Trample would be perfect. Mono red is a bit slow and weak. Needs to be faster. 21:32 Heeeeere's Johnny!

How did Crim get a magic card before Seth?

Wait can zur bring out the mind render ?

I feel like we haven't seen a legendary creature spoiled in days or am I trippin?

Wow that creature is so cool oh you're tapped out on mama blue player? *Uses chatterfang to sacrifice squirrel and give it +1 -1*

The Mind Render does NOT work well with Phenax...

Did you say "French vanilla" 14:48 ? 😂🤣

Rooms are totally just delayed Kicker.

Mill is tier 3 tops rn

The R destroy Sheoldred is not a chaff.

Does Reluctant Role model get around finality counters if you have something to move them on?

I wonder what damage can't be prevented cards are in standard

INB4 Seth (or maybe Saffron Olive... I've never seen them in the same room together) says "AGAINST THE ODDS... we are playing *chuckle* Leyline of Mutation combo in Dandân."

Leyline of Mutation proves that WotC doesn’t care about following the core principles of MtG design philosophy any more

Dress down after blocks

fling mind render

Isn’t role model card kinda looks like crim
