@shilohartisan 2 года назад

I call them "Preanimate" effects. They include: Feign Death Malakir Rebirth Kaya's Ghostform Abnormal Enduranc Supernatural Stamina Minon's Return Shade's Form Unhallowed Pact Unholy Endenture These are great in my Kokusho deck. Blood for Bones doesn't target so it can do a similar thing. Also, in green you have Reincarnation which is criminally underplayed.

@soleo2783 Год назад

3 mana for reincarnation is really rough

@winstonsmith5483 2 года назад

No love for "Not of This World" for colorless? It's quite amazing! Also: Lazotep Plating in blue is really good as well and is really cheap (meaning money-wise mainly but it is also just 2 mana).

@qqpit1 2 года назад

Warping wail is a colorless card that can counter most board wipes. It does cost actual colorless mana so it can't go in every deck, but on the flip side it has some other utility as well. Scrap trawler, in artifact decks, can recur quite a lot of your board in face of a wipe.

@crilleedara 2 года назад

That's a great point! On the topic of colorless, I really think Not Of This World should have been mentioned - even if you'd be unlucky enough to hardcast it, it will still allow you to counter Anything that targets an important piece of your board! And the fact that you can counter spells in for exempel Golgari is just Amaziing!!

@Oopsall 2 года назад

They've changed the colorless rules a while ago. Generic mana = colorless mana. Makes it easier to cast them

@qqpit1 2 года назад

@@Oopsall Not sure what you're trying to say. Warping wail requires an actual colorless source, not just any source, and most decks can only play so many of those without losing access to their colors.

@Oopsall 2 года назад

@borislibaque1558 2 года назад

cauldren of souls is amazing, I have it in my Heliod deck and its beautiful, it lets Heliod run wraths. In my Captain Sisay deck one of my favourite is Shalai Voice of Plenty. And generally speaking my favourite spell is Gift of Immortality. If you stick that on a creature that you can sacrifice for some effect like a fog or a ramp spell or a tutor or a removal etb, you have yourself an engine!

@Crypt4l 2 года назад

I'm really happy with this episode, I think you mentioned just about every important card in this category except one. You mentioned that white gets a "Target thing gains indestructible until end of turn." about every set, but one stands above the rest: Blacksmith's Skill. Protecting anything from anything except mass bounce or exile for 1 mana is pretty good.

@RevnaVarea 2 года назад

cauldron of souls is amazing in any +1/+1 counters decks, selesnya goes without saying... but heartmender is DELICIOUS tech as well

@nickw7125 2 года назад

Cauldron of souls is a 5 mana colorless artifact that is repeatable boardwipe protection; you can give any number of creatures persist until end of turn by tapping it. A bit expensive, but very, very good once it is on the board.

@jrightly 2 года назад

Think I can understand the context fer Feed the Swarm in many Dina.dec. Most likely vestige of pre-con effect. It does handshake reasonably with face Commander Willowdusk but yea, the knowing builder should cut it from their Dina decks

@danielscott9960 Год назад

Saw this challenge the stats about standardise. Had a game with my yuriko deck in a tribal only pod. Someone cast kindred dominance and I was able to use standardise as a board protect/ counterpell by turning everyone's creatures into that creature type.

@iainjoseph4393 2 года назад

Playing abzan. Had lapse of certainty and heroic intervention in hand. Path to exile cast targeting a my enchanted tymna. Used lapse to counter the spell and put it back on top. Then next turn used heroic intervention to stop it again and swing in lethal. Because lapse put the card back I was perceived as less of a threat as the players felt like it would be dealt with next turn.

@crilleedara 2 года назад

I was really surprised that you did not mention Flicker-effects and "Exile, return at next end step" more - Eerie Interlude is a completely Insane card imo, but there are several cards that do this on single-targets. There is even one in blue, that will protect Any of your permanents

@Giovanni-Manfredi 2 года назад

I'd love to see and episode of upping the average on Sevinne to see if after Midnight Hunt is finally a viable commander to play

@selkokieli843 2 года назад

I built Winota and added tons of protection. Eldrazi monument is exceedingly scary! Then there's the true and tried boros charm and selfless spirit, but also boros specials like legion's initiative, Hofri Ghostforge from strixhaven and Gerrard Weatherlight Hero that doubles as a human. That's just the beginning of human synergies, there's also Lena selfless champion and angel of glorys rise. I run spirit bonds that helps make non human tokens in addition to protecting, Mother of runes of course and Cliffside rescuer. Mirror of the forebears can become winota in a pinch or other any human. As a bonus Homura Human Ascendant becomes an anthem with +2/+2 flying and fire-breathing when it dies giving me not so much protection but serious assault power for the next wave, red style.

@mtgsus 2 года назад

I've recently fallen in love with glorious protector. Unlike cards like eerie interlude or faith guardian who leave you open for attacks for a small period of time. Glorious protector returns your creatures when a board wipe or mass bounce spell resolves.

GODDAMMIT Matt with the dad jokes

@ncuco 2 года назад

I think it would have been good to discuss the ability itself. Does every deck need this? In which deck is it more valuable and how many of these cards are worth running? Instead of just mentioning all the cards that include the effect. While useful, the lack of more personal and subjective opinions on the subject, makes it become something that can be googled :p

@Kroxti 2 года назад

Yesterday I teferi’ dun response to a deathbringer regent and that pretty much sealed my victory. 15/10. Would board state protect again.

I wonder if Changeling would be a possibility with Standardize?

@tmakalpha1 2 года назад

As a Yuriko player, I've tried Standardize, and it just falls off in comparison to Arcane Adaptation and Maskwood Nexus because it's just a one-off. P.S. I'm here for Dana's pronunciation of Scourge (Scowrge?)

22:54 Regenerate is nearly useless because most destroy boardwipes say "they can't be regenerated". Exile and bounce boardwipes obviously get around it too. Far too narrow to consider.

@mfitkin 2 года назад

I like Join Shields. It’s expensive at 5 mana but in addition to protecting your board you can also use it to overextend a bit on attacks. Depending on how people block you can use it right then to protect your attackers, or if your attackers are reasonably safe enough without it, you can save it for a surprise untap and block on the crack back.

Feed the Swarm is good in a Willowdusk deck that focuses on playing lots of lifelinkers and cards that make you lose life in one way or another. Play Feed the Swarm lose life, put +1/+1 counters on something with lifelink, gain the life back.

Gadrak is in 5200 decks, it is just not played as a commander that often. It probably could still see more play, just wanted to throw the real number out there

@maxmazzel 2 года назад

Feed the swarm is still good because it's flexible. Sometimes you need to kill a creature, sometimes you need to kill an enchantment. (Of course, run beast within etc over it)
