Is Kozilek's Unsealing Broken? - Modern Horizons 3 

0:05 modern horizons TWO hype

I liked when the video didn't cover Kozilek's Unsealing.

Corrupted Shapeshifter is a reference to Primal Clay, whose first printing was all the way back in Antiquities. Incidentally, Corrupted Shapeshifter is the _2nd_ reference to Primal Clay. In Planar Chaos, there was Primal Plasma. EDIT: Or maybe Corrupted Shapeshifter is more a reference to Primal Plasma where the latter is no longer an artifact creature but purely a Blue creature?

Breaker of Creation : Remember, Lands are colorless permanents. This is likely going to be gaining 10+ life each time.

I had a thought, the Wumpus hasn't been on any plane the Eldrazi have been on, to my knowledge. Maybe it's hinting at a greater story of the Influence of Emrakul flowing to other planes through the newly opened Omenpaths and they're using MH3 as a launch board for that. Then I rememeber this is WotC and what is lore and story.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but lands are colorless, so that 8 mana eldrazi will gain you life equal to the number of lands you control plus other colorless permanents. It’s going to heal you for 10 more often than for 3.

Sooooo are we not going to talk about how breaker of corruption says “colorless permanents” and not “colorless nonland permanents?”

Devourer of Destiny pitching to Ugin's Labyrinth is insane. You essentially get a Once Upon A Time to filter your draws for a good card and a Sol land to cast it - and it's pre-game so the dig can't even be countered by free counterspells. Unsealing also seems nuts. It isn't even colorless creature spells, so you can pitchcast Grief or Subtlety and get 2 mana or blockers, and then just Ancestral Recall off big things.

thought monitor looks like its committing war crimes for the US. LOL

Corrupted Shapeshifter is inspired by the card " Primal Plasma" which allows you to choose if it be a 3/3, a 2/2 with flying or a 1/6 defender and it also costs 4 mana and its blue

Regarding the Breaker of Creation - aren't lands colorless permanents?

I appreciate that your CoolStuff ad has a picture of you and the dog on it. Ad is improved.

Corrupted Shapeshifter is the successor to the Primal Duology (Clay and Plasma) of Spells, which they enter as your choice of a 3/3, 1/6 with Defender or 2/2 with Flying. It's a weird reference for sure, but I'm honestly the most excited for this stupid card.

Corrupted Shapeshifter is a call back to Primal Clay

Simulacrum Synthesizer and Kozilek's Unsealing together will be great the affinity decks.

Corrupted Shapeshifter is a callback to Primal Plasma from Planar Chaos, which also had 3 modes: a flier, a defender and a normal creature (although this one has vigilance)

I can see what people are saying- it's a 3 mana do nothing and the first time you hit it's a draw 3 that cost 3 (which is only okay of a rate really). But if you do *anything* else with it beyond that the value is just insane. Either draw a second time or create mana from it, both make it pretty great.

i was just gunna mention the affinity potential then you mention it as i was typing holy fuck this will be good

The Corrupted Shapeshifter is a reference to Shapeshifter as it had the similar ability to select power/toughness on etb as well as the face/hair is the same.

Hey Vince, do you know if this card triggers with the brothers war artifact creatures that can be casted for cheap to get a mini version of the original artifact?

quick addendum on breaker of creation. You're gaining way more than you think because Lands are colorless permanents.

lot of people are fairly commenting about thought monitor with kozilek's unsealing... but another one is even outside of an artifact deck, you can evoke a nulldrifter and draw 5 as well.

devourer of destiny is almost the same as sphix of foresight which saw some play in fires of invention decks because it could scry it easier and it was a 4drop to cast with fires.

The Corrupted Shapeshifter is referencing the original Primal Clay that was in Antiquities. It's what Skinshifter was also referencing.

It's back!

Corruped Shapeshifter is so awesome, LOVE the versatile

Breaker of Creation is kinda fun in how it's perfectly optimized against rewarding Tron, since each land counts towards the stabilizing life gain swing.

Corrupted Shapeshifter is a powercrept version of Primal Clay (which also has a few other homages already)

Corrupted shapeshifter is a call back to Primal Clay from Antiquities.

Can you evoke the new null drifter for 2U and draw 5 cards with unsealing in play? I assume you can, and that's absolutely insane

Love your content mate, but corrupted shape shifter, is a throwback to the classic alpha card "shape shifter" which costs 6 colourless mana to cast and when it enters you can choose for it to be either a 3/3 creature, a 2/2 with flying or a 0/6 wall (creature with defender in new money!).

I think back to the OG variable artifact creatures like Shapeshifter or Primal Clay when I see the Corrupted Shapeshifter. That card is weird and I love everything about it.

Is good, a wonderful addition to the Kozillection.

Aaaand we are back

For affinity, draw three might often read "tou win the game" given how the titular mechanic cheats on mana, i think that your initial read is right

Breaker of Creation also working for Lands is kidna big. You'll probably always gain at least 6, possible more, if you hard cast it.

regarding of Breaker of Creation, it said "gain 1 life for each colorless permanent" does it also count for land permanents?

I was immediately thinking of that Eldrazi Dragon that gives all your shit emerge when I saw Kozilek's Unseeling.

Kozilek's Unsealing is gonna make my 4-colour big creatures absolutely crazy... like... having this out while cascading away with Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder. Yeah... good times.

Kozilek's unsealing is going to be bonkers with Ulalek and echoes of eternity. Cast 1 spell, pay 2 and get 8 spawns or 12 cards. If you invest a little into eldrazi with flash (or somehow giving them flash), you can get a combinatoric explosion going, doubling every card and every cast trigger that came before each cast for 2 each time. If you have something to return cast eldrazi to your hand (for instance by casting dimensional infiltrator and bouncing it repeatedly) you can in principle keep the stack exploding forever with infinite mana (or until you mill all your opponents). At the very least you can have some very explosive turns.

Domain/Zoo, Tron, and Affinity are absolutely eating up with Kozilek's Unsealing

Can't wait to play this with Dargo

If I’m not mistaken corrupted shapeshifter is a callback to primal plasma from planar chaos

I remember the two minute version that didn’t talk about Kozilek’s Unsealing - bring it back!

I have a blue tron deck. I am so excited for this little uncommon.

This is literally 1984, he took down the wumpus abberation exclusive review.

This work as well with delve creature cards like murktide and gurmag angler

“Dombo’s not a word.” - Vince 2024 😂

Breaker of Wills also counts your lands tbf I dont think that will be enough to make it constructed payable, but its thid thing in limited is prob gaining like 10+ life

Corrupted shapeshifter is a callback to primal clay I believe

Canada: “thought monitor and unsealing could be a war crime you say ? You don’t say…”

This seems amazing in affinity and I am very excited as a filthy artifact enjoyer

the corrupted shapeshifter seems to me to be a callback to Primal Plasm which it seems to be just a powercrept version of

Breaker of creation looks like a good Persist target actually.

Legacy afinity will be hot. Thought monitor drawing 5 and making a karnstruct if supported properly

I don't know if they're broken but I like the concept of Eldrazi s being colorless retrain of other spells

I know a lot of people are dreading this but I love eldrazi so much. I’m so hype.

Eldrazi Summer is here baby! 😎☀

I feel like Kozilek's Unsealing really just wants to make Spawn tokens with Solitude, Fury, and Subtlety.

Me playing Jhoira, all the affinity for artifact creatures, and I already draw a card for casting an artifact, on TOP OF ALL THE OTHER DRAW EFFECTS. With the enchantments that make me draw an additional card. Thanks Wizards! Thanks for making my silly artifact draw deck more silly.

Without watching the video: yes please break affinity

This might be a beast in time counter decks, mainly cheating into play such as jhoira, alaundo the seer, and the tenth doctor. When the last counter is removed you cast the speel

The shapeshifter reminds me of primal clay.

Up the beanstalk is back baby

Just? Did you try playing mirroden block back in the day?

Kozilek's Unsealing has a lot of issues with it with regards to how it plays in Modern affinity. first, it doesn't have an ETB trigger, which is something that a 3 mana noncreature permanent almost requires in Modern if it's not a Planeswalker. next, it's a nonartifact enchantment that produces nonartifact creature tokens, so it doesn't contribute at all to your artifact count. also, since it has Devoid, it isn't a blue card despite costing blue mana, so you can't pitch it to Force of Negation or Subtlety Simulacrum Synthesizer has literally none of these issues and still didn't do that much for affinity, so i think there's no chance Kozilek's Unsealing is the missing piece to that puzzle

The wumpus can't trigger off of coming out from another wumpus; it's a cast trigger, not an etb

Remember that lands are colorless for Breaker of Creation. So in the fairest way to cast it where you have 8 lands in play, you're gaining 8 life off of it. It's kind of like a Pelakka Wurm in that way.

I am so excited for MH2!

Thanks again

I think Kozilek's Unsealing will be much stronger in Affinity than Beans was in most decks. Beans was easier to get value from, but the value that Kunsealing will give to Affinity will be insane. I'll probably run 2 in my deck and trim Thoughtcast.

Murktide Regent costs 7, and delve pays for (not reduces) the cost. That's what I thought of with Kozilek's Unsealing.

Devourer of Destiny shouldn't have been shown with Serum Powder when that first ability is more along the lines of Sphinx of Foresight.

I hope to open this in my one bundle I can afford. 😅 Seems pretty bonkers for an uncommon.

Yooooooi Kozilek Unsealing is gonna go brrrrrrr in my simic stompy commander deck, absurdly bonkers

the more this set is revealed the more I want to finish my Animar colourless creatures deck 😂

Doesn't Breaker of Creation trigger work for lands, since lands are colorless? So you're probably gaining a crap ton of life of the thing.

I am more interested in learning the lore of Kozilek's Unsealing, like what does that mean? Like i am sure we were all under the impression that only Emrakul was the only Eldrazi Titan left that did not die

lol Jund Server saw this some time ago, Kozilek's Unsealing Eldrazi have a 7 elemental Eldrazi that can be cast for 2U, meaning they can draw 5 off for just 3 mana Also, Affinity has a flexible new card letting them cast a 7 for 3R. still Affinity, but don't worry, Jund also has some new tools. Have fun with Eldrazi as we are chilling Oh also Commander Horizon 3 has been fun lol Make a video on Six

Kozelek unsealing and Animar with ancestral statue goes infinite right?

Breaker of creation is of interest as a commander in pauper EDH. It's definitely more interesting than Walker of the wastes.

As an eldrazi main. I fuxking mildly pissed when I see people miss that they're CAST TRIGGERS. Ain't nobody either cheating in or getting cheating out of that trigger. Except against stifle.

Im thinking in tron, or affinity as they can play 7 drops easily. Like mry enforcer, thought monitor. or in tron like they play ulamog then draw 3. Either way lots of decks could play it and be good. Seems good but we'll see how broken it is. if they can draw 6 cards on a turn it may be too good.

Primal Clay or Pirmal Plasma are the closest to that shapeshifter.

what was broken and most broken thing in MTG was original rules where you had to ante up card. so you really could take some alpha black lotus from him do to fact you channel fireball him before he had chance to play his hand in turn one.

Unsealing could have been a 4 or 5 manavalue mythic and still see plenty of play in many formats, I'm happy we're getting bangers at uncommon, but at the same time, it's worrying to think the powercreep has reached this level

Kozilek’s Unsealing is gonna break so many things…

dont you just use it to get tron turn 3 so you can cast it?

How long till ban?

I don't need to watch the video to answer the title and miniature: yes it is and yes they did.

devourer of destiny big upgrade for the slime against humanity deck 😊

Theres a lot of gas for my degenerate Belbe commander deck in this set.

New wumpus is on cast so no chaining...

Kozilek's Unsealing is also strictly better than and a possible callback to Emrakul's Influence

So hyped for MHII

“Modern horizons 2 is coming…” *what did he sayyyyyy???*

so how does it play? you tested it before making the video right?

Its fair to say the Affinity community is pretty excited for this card.

1:47 - not going to work that way, new Wumpus is "on cast" old was ETB.

That hunted wumpus retrain is badddd
