@@bradsimpson8724 i wanted to play one back in the day but i genuinely fear the hate that it'll swing my way. most eldrazi seem so goddamn strong (tbh lore wise makes sense but still though?)
@@alexanderficken9354 void mirror sadly can just basically be ignored by any colorless player that brought multiple colored mana sources anyway because they knew it exists. Against all the colorless players that didn't plan for it, still hilarious. lol
Functionally, what's the difference between annihilator 7 on a 14/14 and annihilator 15 on a 22/22? Nothing, that's what. You still won't kill it with damage and you still don't get to own things when it swings at you either way.
@dontmisunderstand6041 As a goosmother player, I laugh at this. The Honkening can reliably take a 14/14 in combat and shit out enough food to feed that sacrifice 7 trigger without having to lose an important permanent.
@@TheGodofbadideas And in that scenario, you also don't care about the 22/22 with annihilator 15. They're functionally the same. A deck that can handle one handles the other too.
Stationed at Offutt here. Ya why though? The weather is awful. Constantly going back and forth between soup and a deep freezer even during months it shouldn't be. This place has me in a perpetual state of getting a free sex change every time it gets cold and having a lovely river going my ass crack when its not. I seriously never knew that "sticky" was a state of being the day after dodging mother natures golf game and an angry wind mommy stealing my neighbors roof. And to top it off the entire state is private property so I couldn't go outside even if I wanted too.
@@beware3586 Sure, but it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the humidity/wind 😬 In all seriousness, though, some of us like it here. I personally love it! Though, I've never claimed to be the brightest crayon in the box.
If you are wondering which part of the video this person is talking about, the answer is all of it, but especially the last part. Also you weren't wondering. You already knew that.
The sad part, that effect that checks the exiled cards, there's a land printed that can temporarily put an eldrazi into exile, sometimes long enough for them to have Ulamog enter, in case they don't trust you to boost their spaghetti horror monster big enough to curb stomp you.
It's even worse really. Given that for some dumb reason it counts *all* cards in exile no matter how they got there when it enters, any deck with this Ulamog as its Commander gets a stupidly big boost from just playing any of the hyper-efficient and very inexpensive colorless graveyard hate that exiles entire graveyards that it was likely already going to play by virtue of being colorless. Hope you like to be in a position where getting hit by Tormod's Crypt loses you the game despite not even being a graveyard-based deck and despite managing to block the stupid cast trigger. The situation where the +1/+1 counters are tied directly to its Annihilator value even if it gets them later is just as bad.
@@MusicoftheDamned the regret when you bajuka bog the reanimator player, and the colorless player drops this from hand. Is graveyard hate becoming a liability?
@@byronsmothers8064 Given all the power sprint--it's hardly "creep" at this point even with "F.I.R.E." supposedly dead--with the game, I can unfortunately see more and more designs being made where graveyard hate either becomes easier and easier to get around, just outright doesn't matter, or even backfires like with this card.
The worst thing about this card is the counting you gotta do if you're hit with the "exile half of their deck" ability. Honestly, I'd ask the table if I can just eyeball it.
Split it into two piles and try and slide one card Over from one pile to the next When you can't, they're equal That's What I do whenever I need to half a deck. Usually simple and fast when you get the hang of it
It’s pretty quick to subtract the number of cards in play (including your commander) from 100 then divide what you get honestly, but being singled out to do it feels bigoted still
I already know I'll be the biggest threat at the table playing Eldrazi, so if I can get the chance to drop this onto my board and booger flick half of someone's library into the aether, I'll gladly do so. Anything for the Ulamussy 👀
@@zackkelley2940 Nebraska is the state with the most hate groups per capita in the United States. It's not nice; it's *quiet* in the way that Roose "Our Blades Are Sharp" Bolton prefers his realm.
Slivers aren't UN-reasonable. The problem is slivers only have TWO modes. 1. Get repeatedly choke-slammed before they can do anything. 2. Steamroll the table There is no third mode.
@zackkelley2940 real, if your table is actually running removal and counterspells in healthy amounts all of it is going at your first sliver until it costs 19.3 mana to cast from the command zone
@@zackkelley2940well yeah they’re usually stuck in an “enemy of the table” scenario either they fly and no one can stop them or they flop and are the first one to die. Because everyone knows slivers are deadly when they pop off. No one cares if the beamtown bullies guy is sitting on “you lose buttons” for the whole table, slivers are a huge threat that have to be dealt with in the eyes of most.
Alien scholars are going to consider MaldHound videos the final boss of Earthology exams because of how many references are unleashed upon them within the space of a few minutes.
This man will bang unspeakable horrors beyond existence as we know it, but he won't touch Nethroi. Sir, that tongue is capable of reaching your blind eternities, how can you say no?!
Tishana's Tidebinder is also genuinely one of the best spells featuring the word "counter". You're genuinely making a mistake running counterspells in a deck without including it.
We all gonna switch from counter spells to stifles. Dockside? Stifle. Eternal Witness loops? Stifle. This? Stifle. There’s a few flexible two mana ones.
Imagine the Mimeoplasm player hitting this and a Ghalta, even without the cast trigger it’ll get annihilator 24 😵💫 then equip a lightning greaves and destroy a person’s entire board state
Can we get a roast of Lazav, the Multifarious? After all, he's the EDH equivalent of slowly building a shiv out of whatever materials you can find near your cell.
I got snuck upon by a Lazav the other day. Taught me to always check before playing dredge the mire. Here I am, excited to see what stupid shenanigans I can pull off with everyone else's cards. I wasn't expecting anyone to be running Phage the Untouchable. Honestly, kind of on me, but only in a Lazav deck, fr.
And crap like this is why they printed Consign to Memory in the same set to eat the Eldrazi and the trigger in one convenient package. There's just the small matter of drawing it...
I may or may not be making a commander deck with this lil guy as my commander. And it has ways to boost his counters, copy him as non legendary, and double up on annihilator. It’s beautiful
So, I recently acquired a collection someone had of cards and have been absent mindedly setting aside every discard spell in black for a deck dedicated to sitting in my messenger bag until the local Eldrazi player sits down with that Eldrazi deck again. *I will make sure if that card is ever in hand, it's getting discarded. Same as the other titans.*
I assume this isn't Commander, since otherwise your discard only postpones the arrival of the lovecraftian horrors while hoping someone in the pod beats him down before then.
@@NaokiKurogra Wrong! It is commander and I'll be beating them to death! Tourach gains counters when an opponent discards a card. It ain't even about winning really, just stopping Eldrazi shenanigans
" theres an entire category devoted to it for a reason" 😂 pretty much lost count at this point asking for galadriel, light of valinor but im thinking its 20 times
Yup, this is going right in Animar and I am casting it for free every time. And then, i'm going to bounce it back to my hand AND EXILE HALF YOUR LIBRARY AGAIN!
I'd love if you could cover Ulalek. Ulalek is the tiktok influencer of Eldrazi, giving a good offer and having a bunch of underpaid shmucks who double it and pass it to the next Eldrazi.
Tishana's Tide Binder and Stifle laughing like "We can stop this shit" and then remembering you still gotta deal with the actual big fucker coming down
Combine it with a ton of colorless cost reduction, the new card that doubles eldrazi triggers, and one of the cheap counterspells that return the countered spell to owner's hand, and you can eliminate two whole libraries in one turn for the low low cost of just a few colorless and probably a blue or two.
I almost got to double the cast trigger in a game I was playing online testing out the precons with my pod last night. Sadly I drew it off of a draw effect in combat as I was ending the game, but if it hadn’t ended there my last opponent would’ve been down ti about 13 cards in deck.
I am still majorly surprised that nobody sees him as a prime target for reanimator decks. Fill your yard with him and big stuff, deathrite shaman says hi, then put him on the battlefield... turn. three.
This card is so rude man. I love it. It even forces you to look at all the cards they made you exile and pick out the coolest one, the memory of which they will use to beat you to death. You get to marinate in that shit. Don't like it? Sac two permanents. Amazing work.
My Villian arc has already begun i triggered this mans cast ability x3 with Echoes of enternity and the new eldrazi commander. Im no longer to play with my pod until i get a new deck
