Fun companion fact Lurrus is the only companion that doesn't meet it's own companion restriction

companion in part 4 is a bit of a crime probably the most broken mechanic of all time as it's literally the only mechanic that needed a nerf

@croppingchair5538 25 дней назад

Oh yah pre errata companion is just way better than any other mechanic, and even after it’s still maybe the best

@anthonyellison5998 21 день назад

The other mechanic that got nerfed was cascade. They changed how it worked with double sided cards like Valki, god of lies

@williamdrum9899 19 дней назад

@@ricktrolled4507 I don't see why Yorion needed to be banned. The "shuffling 80 cards" that Wizards cited was BS because Commander exists. It actually gave you a legitimate reason (besides Battle of Wits) to have a deck with more than 60 cards in it

@quarantinezone2844 25 дней назад

I'd say Eminence is far stronger than Hexproof, hence why the Ability has never seen another iteration on any new cards. Sacrifice, Destroy or Exile All, there are some good options to put down Hexproof. Edit: I see this is Part 4, curious if Shroud has been mentioned then.

@Oxygen1004 24 дня назад

I'd argue that companion is fine as a mechanic, it's just that it's very hard to balance correctly. If the restrictions are just harsh enough, having a 7.5 card opener isn't that crazy and can make for genuinely interesting decks. For example, Lurrus is so good because it gives that 7.5 card hand while having a negligible restriction where as Umori is bad because of it having a harsh restriction while not having that much value.

@Gorbgorbenson 13 дней назад

I think the way it is now is much more balanced. Having 8 cards in your opener is crazy. As strong as something like Lurrus is, having to pay 3 mana for it is really hard to squeeze in for aggro decks.

@crawdaddy2004 9 дней назад

I once cast Angel’s Grace (which has Split Second), but one of my opponents actually had Voidmage Apprentice. 😂

@manuelvasquez4144 11 дней назад

Disagree about Hexproof. My brother built an entire deck around making people sacrifice their creatures. Doesn't matter if it has protection, hexproof, shroud or indestructible. It's just gone

@percivalyracanth1528 25 дней назад

I really like shroud better than hexproof for sure for balancing as well as flavor reasons, and i think "uncounterable" should be a keyword that can take the place of split second- theres still room for interaction at least even if a spell cant be countered.

@dapperpotatoes8473 25 дней назад

There’s plenty of spells that have “this spell can’t be countered”, but even those are vulnerable to exile or bounce effects. They do have the advantage against ward however.

@prinnyramza 25 дней назад

God, shroud was so much better then the power creep incarnate that is hexproof.

@RoflCannon6 24 дня назад

@@prinnyramzaand hexproof is even better than ward because at least hexproof isn’t just on blue creatures that can counter your kill spell you just paid extra for.

@dragonboi9818 22 дня назад

Yoooo, he finally mentioned split second!

@Zeferet. 24 дня назад

After the spell wit split second has resolved you can interact with the rest of the stack again.

@dragonxlove 20 дней назад

I agree that hexproof is harder to deal with, but ward has been mechanically harder to remember. At least with hexproof, if an opponent tries to cast and target that creature, they couldn’t, play state reverts and they keep the spell. With ward, if they didn’t know or forgot that ward was one the creature, we have to see whether or not moves can be taken back or not.

@SwedeRacerDC 20 дней назад

It's hard to call split second broken. It makes sure that spell resolves but it's on instants, which get used once and don't do anything too crazy. Krosan Grip for instance has gone down in popularity because people don't care as much and would usually rather have a cheaper more efficient removal spell. It's a good mechanic, but not being on permanents and not being used on any boogeyman cards.

MtG: Man, having an extra zone where you can put a creature that you can access at any time is broken, especially in legacy format! Yugioh: Only one?

@youkirosewarne1516 24 дня назад

Personal opinion here but hexproof isn’t that broken to deserve the number 1 spot, besides board wipes you can also just make them sacrifice creatures to get around hexproof. Bit of a no brained but I thought storm would be at the top

@jasoncook2715 20 дней назад

Companion is just commander for regular formats. Starts off outside of the game, can't be interacted until it comes into the game, and it's an extra card of your hand. The reason why they had to implement the nerf of 3 mana to move into your hand is because having a "commander" to be able to cast from outside of the game into the game is broken. Guarantee you add this restriction to edh and everyone will leave the format.

@im7254 22 дня назад

Too bad split second doesn't get rid of counter spells already on the stack, which is where it would be after you cast something. So that's just for flash and instants really then

“Unlike ward there’s nothing you can really do about it” Please. Any ward cost over 1 might as well say hexproof. You’re going to turn my 2 mana kill spell into a 4+ mana one? Fine I’ll just take out all my kill spells for board wipes since that’s equal to what I’m gonna have to pay anyway. Now none of us get to have fun. Thanks ward.

Hexproofis not that broken Shroud is way more broken than hexproof

@crawdaddy2004 9 дней назад

Ummm… how? Hexproof is literally “better Shroud.” Your opponents can’t target it with anything, but you can. Shroud is very fair - no one can target it. If you have Lightning Greaves on your only creature in play, you can’t equip it or enchant it with anything else.
