A super unappreciated part of Command the Dreadhorde is "it does damage to you." instead of paying life, which is really abusable. I have a deck that runs Blessed Sanctuary, Personal Sanctuary, Righteous Aura, Purity, and The Wanderer in conjunction with lots of group slug effects and Dreadhorde Invasion. It's definitely a C+ card, but in that deck it's amazing.

Wandering Archaic has been always great in my games. He gets almost never removed because everyone wants the copy ability for the case that someone can win this turn and someone else at the table wants to play counterspells. I think too many players focus on the "what does Wandering Archaic for me now" instead of "Wandering Archaic will make sure no one else can combo off so i can win later"

I agree with the assessment of the card Smoke, but in its defense I'll say it's a stax piece that won't lose you friends. I used to run it in a Torbran mono red burn deck, and at times did really help stay alive against go wide strategies. There was never a time I played it where everyone at the table groaned or got upset, like you would generally see when a static or winter orb would hit the table. Smoke isn't so good that it detracts from everyone else's fun but can still be useful in certain decks.

I just took Mindcrank out of my Syr Konrad deck, because it can’t guarantee creatures, and my strategy doesn’t really center around draining life or combat damage. Ever since you guys mentioned “not good enough, Gary,” From Spongebob, thats all I can think about whenever I cut a card. 😂 I’ve been an adult for quite a while now, and I still think that show is hilarious. I also have Crypt of Agadeem in that deck, and besides that one time my only option was to play the only two lands that came into play tapped two turns in a row when I really needed the mana it’s been pretty good. If that happened and I didn’t have enough creatures in the graveyard to take advantage of it the next turn, then I might have been a little mad. I think thats too unlikely of a situation to put the card on probation. 🤷‍♀️

I still think Sunforger has a use and I think they are pretty narrow minded on actually using it. It’s the ‘I’m going to fish out the card that’s saving me from a board wipe or game ending spell’ not for random pieces of removal.

Defently, i have a boros equip deck with Ardenn & Rograkh at the helm and FunForger is one of the best equips in the deck! Just needs the right package: Angel's Grace anti instant win (best feeling vs thoracle muahah), Boros charm / teferi's protection for wipes protection, swords to plowshers / Return to dust for single target removal and the sweetest: Rebuff the wicked a freaking counterspell in white!, some protection from colors for offensive and defensive capability and throw in Mistveil plains to reuse the instants forever. As long as you can cheat the equip cost i think its a very good equip
@thetaoofgaming7045
@thetaoofgaming7045 2 года назад
welp, these two shits got me to click on the video because of the Sunforger grade. Sunforger is straight a wincon, besides some of the other mentioned spells( Teferi's, Boros Charm, etc) probably the best combo I've done in my Aurelia deck is wait till the perfect time, namely when the blue player taps out, you fetch Chance for Glory and take an extra turn to kill 1 or more players. even if you don't end the game you can re-equip and tutor Angel's Grace to keep from dying. and yes, your creatures are now Indestructible for the rest of the game, which shouldn't be long. Getting alittle tired of these two giving Boros the shaft more than Josh Lee Kwai.
@jo_ken
@jo_ken 2 года назад
@@thetaoofgaming7045 Haven’t ever used it for chance for glory / angel’s grace, but that’s mostly just because my Aurellia deck is angel tribal reanimation so I’m mostly just packing the Teferi’s protection and Boros Charm along with whoever removal pieces I already have in the deck. I still think though the card is the emergency ‘shit has hit the fan button’ and in my current play group they’ve caught on that if I have it out they need to get rid of the equipment first before trying to wipe the board.

Nah it sucks in 99% of decks. It's really good in feather or Ardenn intrepid archaeologist paired with some commander that has red. But in the overwhelming majority of decks its a huge mana sink that gets your creature to become a huge target for value removal with really mediocre benefit for the turns used to play it.

The one home I ever found for Wandering Archaic was Belbe, where having strong 5-6 mana colorless spells to drop on turn 2 is great. It’s not as good as 6 mana Ugin or Immortal Sun but it does work, especially since early on when you might get it out a lot of people are still casting ramp spells. I mean, too often those games end too fast to really pay off if you land a turn 3 Torment if Hailfire for 7, but Archaic was still good.

An underrated card i like is Medicine Bag, goes in pretty much any deck and can save your creature/commander by giving it regenerate by discarding a card. So many ppl run removal/board wipes that you need ways like heroic intervention/snakeskin veil, mizzit skin style cards to keep your creatures alive to try and keep board advantage

Mythos of snapdax is interesting and my thoughts used to be the same as your guys'. However consider in those 3 colors you're up against blasphemous act, toxic deluge (with white to really support lifegain), and now the new vanquish the hoard. In these colors I'm also not often wanting to do a mass artifact wipe, as it's probably the bulk of the mardu ramp, as a 4th boardwipe, sure it's probably a great pick and i still love it as a pet card - of course it is also cheaper than all the others i've mentioned, but just thought I'd give my 2cents on why it's maybe not an A+ :D.

My biggest advice for anyone seeing this comment and thinking about it: Have Goblin Matron be the goblin you put on top, followed by Conspicuous Snoop. So you guaranteed get the Matron who can not only tutor, but give you a shuffle as well

Sunforger is great in a Feather the Redeemed deck. It becomes 5 Mana: "Draw" an instant/sorcery from your deck. Plus you get a free cast of that spell! Is it "Jam in every deck" good any more? No... But the decks that can use it are great!
@Explosive371
@Explosive371 2 года назад
I don't like sunforger in Feather as much as I used to for one reason. All the targeted instants/sorceries that would go back to your hand are 1-2 CMC. You're paying 8 mana (the first time) to tutor a 1 mana card and cast a one mana card. Is it bad? No, it's not terrible if you get more than 1 use out of it. But I think Sunforger is more effective in decks like Syr Gwyn and Rograkh/Ardenn, where you can bypass the equip cost. 5 mana the first time and 2 mana every other time, and tutoring for 3-4 mana spells instead of 1-2 mana ones makes Sunforger a house.

sunforger is still pretty good in equipment/artifact decks where you can mitigate some of it's costs. people also forget it gives +4/+0 which is actually a ridiculous power boost. boros also has some of the best instants imo, boros charm, akroma's will, deflecting swat, wild ricochet, path to exile, return to dust, settle the wreckage, these are all great cards that I'm happy to run anyway and can genuinely win the game for you. A well timed boros charm or akroma's will is instant GG often. it definitely isn't for *every* boros deck any more though, it's too slow if your deck has no synergies.

I'd say if you cannot reliably reduce the equip cost on sunforger, then putting it low makes sense. But as soon you have any card or commander that can reduce that cost (Zirda and Ardenn are the big two), then it goes from too slow to a game winning board piece. The most important use for it imo is not for removal or card advantage but protection or an alpha strike. If you aren't using sunforger for something like Akroma's Will or Teferi's protection then most other equipment will serve you better.

Crypt of Agadeem is maybe my favorite land. I built a Modern deck around it (winning with a lethal Profane Command and/or Lotleth Giant) after discovering it when building a janky Endrek Sahr combo deck. It's better in 60-card decks where you can get multiple copies of it (apparently Agadeem has several crypts...) but mono-black is my favorite color "combination" and Crypt of Agadeem is insane for them. Cabal Coffers is a bit easier to enable, but the ceiling on Crypt is way, WAY higher, and you can get it tapping for 10+ mana a lot faster than you can with Coffers (like, turn 4 or 5). Plus, it taps for a black mana on its own unlike Coffers.

Commander's Plate is a D, unless you're playing Ardenn as your commander. Then it's A. Partner with Falthis and it's A+, but you're also a crazy person for building this deck in the first place.

I've never seen lifeline before but that card looks sweet, obv symmetrical isn't great, but the card seems super strong in any sort of sacrifice deck, and notably board wipes still function if you do reach a point where your opponents are getting more value than you out of it. It seems at least interesting, maybe even good, and I'm excited to try it regardless.

sunforger feels great in decks that can cheat on the equip cost like ardenn,. then it can actually be mana positive. requires to build around is only semi-true imo. you should play plenty of cheap interaction anyway. and i think it's fun to surprise people with responses that are usually only borderline playable, because they are narrow, like deflecting palm.

Now I know you guys say gaea’s cradle isn’t really even a card cause it’s so rare. But it’s worth mentioning that ulvenwald hydra, in a creature deck, with GC, can ramp you insanely. And you get a beefy reach blocker that can swing incredibly hard late game if you give it trample. I’d give it a C+ to a B- because in a creature deck with gaea’s cradle this will be one of your best 6 mana plays.

Mind crank is amazing in my Rankle discard demon deck. Pairing rankles discard ability with your classic "when opponent discards a card they lose 2 life" cards like that one liliana enchantment and with creatures like the Perverter of Truth to have card draw with life loss. Is it consistent? No, but it's done its job.

Command Beacon was super expensive before the reprint in Commander Legends. You guys' evaluation of Drown in the Loch made me have a weird thought: with all of the new versatile cards that have been printed in the last three-four years, I wonder how the overall complexity of Commander decks has increased in the past five years? It seems to me, the more options you have in your deck, the more different branches of decisions you make in any given game. Oh maybe its just a brain fart.

I'm sorry but this a 5 mana tutor in an equipment deck made for it. So while it is good for budget decks, if we are playing for power or you want EFFICIENT tutors, this is worse than diabolic tutor at 4 mana. Outside of equipment decks this is an 8 mana tutor

Alter of Bone is good for Naya decks. Most Naya decks have some kind of token making and whats one less 1/1 gonnna matter? Red also has similar effects like Transmorgify. Creature based combos will like this card too. Not saying its an auto include in any Green/White deck but it fits its role well.

Righteous Aura is much, MUCH better then you are giving it credit for. It basically makes you immortal to damage. Put it in a control deck, especially one that plays at instant speed, and for two mana you never have to worry about commander damage, fatties, whatever. It allows you to worry specifically about go wide tokens and combos, as you can ignore everything else. Even protects you from burn, including your own cards like Heartless Hidetsugu or Command the Dreadhorde. This, of course, ignores playing it in a lifegain deck, where the 2 life cost becomes negligible and it makes you immune to commander damage. I'd try this one out before you dunk it. To wit, this is a rebalanced Forcefield, but not a million dollars, prevents the damage entirely, and is an enchantment.

I understand the reasoning on sunforger, but it has decks in which is strong, one of them being Feather, the Redeemed. Playing modal spell from your deck is a strong thing to do. As for Dack, the effect is very strong! So strong I was considering running a Thieving Skydiver in my Yarok the Desecrated deck, in which it can be a 3 mana steal 2 sol rings. Would you say it’s worth it?
