The Hardest Creatures to Kill in Magic | Magic the Gathering 

Last time I was this early Mitch wasn’t inflating prices on all my favorite cards

I'm in the credits at 13:54. As of this posting, my lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.91 for my Duel Decks: Venser vs Koth printing.

I have more appreciation for all Mitch does after hearing that he edits all his videos.

We could actually count in the same way Yuriko, since it just always comeback only for 2 mana

Kathril can also be hexproof and industructable if cards with those keywords are in your graveyard. And True Name Nemesis has protection from a player.

Oh Squee, Korvold’s favorite meal.

Love the list! But I think Koma, the cosmos serpent should have made it. It’s so difficult to deal With

"Why won't you die !" tribal deck with Progenitus at the commander.

Thrun was my first commander. I really enjoyed the heck out of playing him. Had him built as a equipment strategy so I would win by commander damage.

The real hardest creatures to kill are the 2017 commanders - eminence gang

My favorite unkillable has to be spore frog in my meren deck. You've never heard someone groan quite as loud as my table when I drop that turn one. It's near impossible to get rid of completely, and helps me put up a ridiculously Mana efficient wall that my opponents just can't get through

I say persist/undying creatues with solemnity. Alternatively, persist with melira, mikaus the unhallowed, the great henge, etc.

I feel like this list speaks to me directly as each of these go in nearly every deck they could for me.

I just built my Falthis/Jeska damage doubler deck and I needed some creatures that would stick to the battlefield when I saw the notification, thanks Mitch!

Checking in from Rexburg Idaho our LGS is open! Commander pods tonight at 7:00!! Playing Toski

Never been this happy for being early in your content Mitch!!

Awesome topic. Also: Gravecrawler! Hard to kill AND goes infinite with the altar of your choice.

8:38 the category title is “I’ll be back.”, but Mitch introduces it at “Be right back.” Gotta love hunting those errors! Still a great video.

We always misunderstood Argent Sphinx effect, which made it even harder to remove. We thought it coule use its effect even in the graveyard :/

When you mentioned turbo fog I thought of a thantis deck made up of a ton of these tough creatures (and more like spear breaker behemoth) with as many board wipes as possible. That's a war weaver.

Hey Mitch! I'm a big fan of you from Italy. I would have included Uril, the Miststalker in this list. He has hexproof, plus in an aura deck it gets incredible hard to kill, with totem armour, indestructibile, ecc..😉

Kind of surprised Athreos, Shroud Veiled isn't in the video. He may not be hard to deal with himself technically, but he can make other creatures hard to deal with.

My playgroup has an alternate name for the Reassembling Skeleton : the "IKEA" skeleton (because you're putting it back together much like how you would put back a shelf). I've been meaning of making a voltron deck tech list for Rayami, actually. With boardwipes, this could be quite hard to deal with.

I'm honestly surprised that he didn't show Blightsteel Colossus. It's a really good example of "Impossible to Kill," especially with what it does. That said, this was an awesome video! Maybe one day we'll see a 5 color "You can't kill me!" deck.

I always love the background music to these episodes.

Hey Mitch! Love the content! Keep up the great work :)

I'm a simple man. I see Aetherling in the thumbnail, I click.

you forgot prime time. He can't die because he can't be played!

Challenge : Build a budget deck revolving around creatures featured in this video :-)

Fantastic presentation and content as well brother. 💯

That was a great watch! Thanks Mitch!

niv-mizzet, parun can be included here... it is in blue so counterspells are always on check, but casting spells to remove him makes the owner draw cards which would likely be something that can protect him...

My boy Norin! He's such a powerful commander and one of his best friends Purphoros is also on the list. It's hilarious when new players see Norin, look at me, and ask, "How is this supposed to be good?" Then the blinking starts and the hurt follows soon after.

Aetherling is one of my favorite cards in my Mairsil, the Pretender deck.

Watching this while I sleeve up my newest Turbo Fog deck. TURBO FOG FOR LIFE!!!

Have you done a video on your own creatures you want to kill? Or put in your grave yard? Like haakon or anger? I think that could be fun

I would have mentionned Mirage Mirror... its not a creature but it can become one for 2 mana and its a card that is hard to get rid off. Still, nice video, very helpful!

i was hoping you'd go over the Food Chain combo as everything that deals with Food Chain exploits the exiled creatures ability to be cast from exile and there's a creature that has an ability cost (like reasembling skeleton) to put it back on the battlefield from exile though this doesn't work with Food Chain. Sad to had not heard about Oathsworn Vampire, it's an amazing vampire card. I can understand why you didn't mention Gutterbones. No mention of Sanitariam skeleton or Coiling pillbug?

is it bad i was taking notes

Where do you get all these ideas??

In the "I'm out of here" category you really should've mentioned cards like Master Transmuter that return (potentially) itself to your hand as part of a cost. They are in some cases even harder to deal with than, say, an aetherling because whereas you could theoretically run the controller of an aetherling out of mana by continually casting removal spells in response to the Aetherling's blink, Master Transmuter, provided she does not have summoning sickness, will react to your first attempt and be off the battlefield before you get a chance to respond again.

No mention of the Undead Gods from Ravnica, The new Kraken creature or creatures that counter spells you play against them and also no Dream Trawler?

There's a few other cards that you could have listed here. Anything with Embalm, encore, etc. that return a creature as a token would be annoying to deal with. Anything that dies and leaves behind a token of itself. One of my favorite combos is Soul Foundry and Progenitor Mimic (PM). Every turn (or more, depending), for 6 mana you get a clone that makes clones of itself. If you don't deal with PM right away, it will slowly create an army. And with Soul Foundry, you can put a new PM into play every turn. And PM can copy something that is indestructible or has protection or hex proof (because it doesn't target). Now, combine that with Doubling Season...

My Illharg the raze boar once he hits just does not want to leave. Pretty fun

I have a green/white spirit deck. While my friends find a couple of of the legendary spirits annoying, they despise the Blinking Spirit. They have to either counter it or force me to discard it in order to stop it from recurring. And, let's be honest, who wants to waste a counter on what is otherwise a 2/2 vanilla creature and a random discard might not get it on a single attempt.

Hello There

persist and undying keywords help creatures be hard to kill, but great list!

Informative! Thanks.

Love the music!

I missed the god eternals from war of the spark. Had so much fun with people trying to exile my kefnet only for it coming back a few turns later.

This is my favorite kind of content!

Best answer for these are cyclonic rift and scour from existence. Also helpful if you have cards that reduce the cost of those instants like Mizzix of the Izmagnus so you aren't paying 7.

Last time I was this early, I had a turn one Wayfarer's Bauble.

Hot take: Progenitus shouldn’t be here as ‘any’ board wipe will kill him

Squee, the worlds best punching bag I feel so bad for that little goblin

If I make Mimeoplasm a copy of Elusive Tormentor... can I transform it?

Koma has been headache in my playgroup. Surprised it's not in this list.

Why do red boardwipes not work on some of those? I don’t get it

another honorable mention would be my favorite land, Treetop Village

Relentless dead deserves a mention in this list, along with a few others such as god-eternal oketra, the scarab god

I had a Norin the Wary deck that had stuff like that dealt damage when the creature ETBs. Actually really funny one game I cast Norin on turn one and then attacked with it turn two and the guy just kinda stopped and was dumbfounded for like 5 minutes. He couldn't wrap his head around what just happened and why I would play it. After I got several Pandemonium out with a few power increasers to trigger Where Ancients Tread when Norin came in he got the picture and dead.

I am confused as to why he said Progenitus is safe from red wipes someone please elaborate.

I was just waiting for Norin!

Finding out phasing does not operate like flickering was a weird conversation. You don’t get exit the battlefield or ETB effects, it just...doesn’t exist for bit.

You mentioned Selenia, but forgot crovax, who is the same card, but also a mini elesh norn.

Norin the Wary is Edward the Bard from Final Fantasy in card form

3:55 Why don't red boardwipes work?

why does he keep singling out red boardwipes am i missing something?

Spiritmonger was tough to deal with back in the day.

Need to make a five color deck with all of these creatures and bunch of board wipes

I can see it clearly! 5C-dont-mess-with-my-board-tribal! XD

Most Difficult Commanders to keep in the Command Zone. First one which comes to mind is Yuriko (the Tiger's Shadow).

Ive only been playing commader for a few months and never seen a card like Norin the Wary. How exactly do you use a card that exiles itself when anyone does litterlly ANYTHING?? Is this even worth making a commander? Love your vids mitch!

Surprised you didn't mention Avacyn, Angel of Hope

Oloro. That is not dead which can eternal sit in the command zone.

Hmm, have the Feeling he kinda hooked us with using the most Broken ones up front. Progenitus at 3 Min. mark? Got to watch this. And than he comes with Cards like Selesnia... which bounces herself. Yes you can say she is kinda immortal coming back, but most people would argue if you make your oppoment pay 5 Mana again, you did kind of deal with it.

Weatherseed Treefolk Is one you could maybe add to your list

id say dream trawler belongs on the list. i use it as basically my only creature in some decks as... it just works.

I want to see the best of them in a Vultron EDH deck :D

Kathril after looking at Raymi making the list. "Well whatever, it's in his name, should we cross paths, he'll be the first to fall!"

Squee the immortal is the hardest creature to kill permanently in mtg change my mind

No mention for the best ladybird Kathril, Aspect Warper? Feels bad man

I want to see a new version of Norin the Wary where they include for game mechanics that he is considered a coward. It would not only be great flavor, but it could be a good excuse to include in a upcoming set that has cowards in it.

Great topic but you definatly missed a couple Gravecrawler, is the exact same thing as Reassembling skeleton plus it goes infinite with phyrexian altar Yuriko, no point on commander tax with NinJutsu since it will keep coming back no matter how you kill her as the commander SpearBreaker Behemoth is a real pain in the neck it's indestructible and can give any other creature with 5 power or greater indestructible till the end of turn for just one single dang mana and it can be any color Genesis its gonna stick around in the graveyard but the reason I'm mentioning it is because if it's in the yard...ALL THE CREATURES BECOME VERY HARD TO GET RID OF! Batterskull, It's not a creature but this equipment can bounce itself back to hand for just 3 mana so they try to remove it its gonna bounce one last card Will-o'-the-Mist it's one black regenerate pretty typical but the reason I'm mention this card is I want to remind you of the mechanic ikoria brought which is mutate and Otrimi a 6/6 with regenerate for just one black is just beyond nasty

There's one thing you didn't mention that's incredibly hard to kill: Commanders!

Tymaret the Murder King is pretty hard to kill..ive returned him back from the graveyard several times in a game

What about koma the cosmos serpent? You will always have a serpent to sacrifice to give him indestructible

What, no Avacyn, angel of hope with AOE hard to kill?

Gravecrawler: I'm i a joke to you?

My favourite is still phylactery lich with any darksteel artefact

There is another green creature whose name eluded me. A 5/3 treefolk who returns to owner's hand when it dies.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

There is a special place in my heart for Aetherling

"some similar cards to this are " doesn't mention morphling aka superman.

I'm surprised gravecrawler wasn't included

What about Eternal Scourge?

I'd add Eternal Scourge aswell!!👌

Thrun is my voltron deck lol

What about indestructisquirrel?

What about slivers?
