Blue: The color of “f your board state I’m gonna combo off anyway”

@synergiesmtg7960 4 года назад

amen, brother

@Alikaoz 4 года назад

That's more Izzet, normally pure blue is slower that that. Unless it's Dramatic Scepter.

@VerrouSuo 4 года назад

Daniel Amade oh, definitely - Izzet storm is funny, but blue usually serves as the enabler for combos, instead of the key piece, (unless it’s some extra turn or stasis shenanigan, which plays into the “f your board state” thing). It’s why I almost never play mono-blue-too bland.

@LC-wv7tz 4 года назад

Funny way to spell Jund or... just anything with Green. Combos don't really care about boardstate regardless about what color they are coming from unless the boardstate involves stom stax elements. Rule of Law will shut down most combo decks bar none. Except maybe Yissan.

@VerrouSuo 4 года назад

L C with blue, it’s more about turning disadvantage on its head. When you combo off in all of these other colors, you probably already had the in-game time and space to do so. Blue (especially Sultai and Temur) just assembles some nonsense in an upkeep, untaps, casts Expropriate, and everyone dies. That’s not to say other colors can’t do that-Blue just excels at creating space for itself very quickly, and very often; that’s how it enables these combos in the first place.The reason I mention the other guy’s board state is it implies that he/she is being perceived as the biggest threat, and Blue is just like, “nice value engine you’ve got there. It would be a shame if I won in the space of one draw step.”

According to my number crunching, git prob, ponder, preordain and brainstorm are all must run, after that, force of will, mana drain, chain of vapor, dispel and swan song and cyclonic are the best interactions available, followed by delay, counterspell, winds of rebuke/into the roil and reality shift. Rhystic and remora are game winning and obviously gilded drake is insane, other good cards with very high ceilings are copy artifact, steal enchantment and spellseeker. Blue, the color of fun :3

So happy to see Pongify (and sort of Rapid Hybridization) on this list! I built a (very) budget modern deck a couple years ago based on those two cards and undying creatures that you could blow up yourself for value. But half the time the pongify would just target a tarmagoyf or some such, and i was perfectly fine with that. But now that Commander is my format of choice, mayhaps it's time to slide those pongifys over to a few decks in the superior format.

@laurencebrown3822 4 года назад

Parallel Thoughts is a big favorite of mine. An enchantment that pulls not 1, not 2, but SEVEN cards of your choice out of your library, and makes it pretty much a second library you can choose to draw from is great for pulling out combo pieces for easy access, or even just grabbing seven lands to ensure you always get that land pull when you need it. The downside is if the enchantment leaves play, your pulls are then lost to you, but hey, you're playing blue, odds are you'll have something available to protect it.

The speed trade off isn't nothing, but the added value of hitting more things and getting to ignore dies triggers cause of exile is worth it imo. Also I tend to run Leyline of Anticipation (which is my choice for card not on this list I think you should consider) so I don't have the timing issue with it out! Great vid Prof.

I have a pet blue card I'd like to show the class! It's called Submerge. Submerge is an Instant that costs 4U and reads: "If an opponent controls a Forest and you control an Island, you may cast this spell without paying its mana cost. Put target creature on top of its owner's library." If you're playing this spell you're in blue and definitely control an Island. And how many games with 4-5 players have you played in where no one is playing green? Very few, I'm willing to bet. Notice the lands don't even have to be basic! Shocks, duals, tangos, bicycle, and tricycle lands all count. And the owner of the creature you're targeting doesn't even have to be the player who controls a Forest! In my honest opinion I think this card is either extremely overlooked or not many people know about it. It's definitely a hidden gem.

@sonofchlar6144 4 года назад

I cracked a gilded drake in a pack of Urza’s saga 20 something years ago. I used to run it in one of my earliest commander decks with a ton of spells that bounce it back to its owners hand so I could keep casting it and stealing things. I have since taken it apart because it was way to mean in our creature heavy meta. Great card though.
