@HanDaimond Год назад

Just a reminder for the Horn of the Mark: The effect triggers for *each* opponent that you've attacked with two or more creatures individually, meaning that - if you have at least 6 creatures to attack with - you can potentially look at the top 15 cards total and grab up to 3 creature cards among them. Each effect triggers separately, so it’s looking at the top 5 cards and grab a creature three times.

@MareczqZglos Год назад

30 cards - 6 creatures in Isshin deck :D

@HanDaimond Год назад

@@MareczqZglos LMAO, Isshin goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

@NitpickingNerds Год назад

Is that actually how it works?

@derekludwig3945 Год назад

Came here to say this. I'll clarify, though, that by my reading, you'd pick 1 creature from each consecutive set of 5 cards; you wouldn't be able to pick *any* 3 creatures out of your top 15 cards.

@derekludwig3945 Год назад

@Nitpicking Nerds I'm not a judge, but yep, pretty sure. Horn doesn't have any limiting language on it, so if you have 3 opponents and at least 6 creatures to swing at them, you can get 3 triggers every time you move to attacks. It's 3 separate triggers, though, so it's really take the best creature from the top 5 cards 3 times in a row, not take the best 3 creatures from the top 15. Isshin doubles those attack triggers, as the others pointed out, and extra combats are super tasty with Horn on board. It wouldn't be unreasonable at all to end up churning through your entire library during one turn in 5-card chunks and taking the best creature from each chunk of cards. This set really seems all over the place in power level. You've got stuff like this for 2 mana and no color requirement, and then you've got stuff like the garbage self-burying balrog that seems like it could only even possibly be usable in a Grenzo deck.

every time the nerds mention a mono colour field of the dead deck, I tap the "blood moon and back to basics should be edh staples" sign

@nikhilchhagan7371 Год назад

If someone has a blood moon or back to basics that’s locking down my mana I’m going to throw everything I have at them until I can play my cards. Also they only really work in one/two color decks so staple seems strong

@Dom9606 Год назад

@@nikhilchhagan7371 you can play a handful of basics in even 5 colour decks, so with blood moon you'd still have access to every colour you need, back to basics is only a staple in 1/2 colour decks I'd say if the blood moon player is casting spells and you're not you're probably just losing, which is why I think it's a staple

@Beckola44 Год назад

These are really good cards. I will wait a while and buy these singles when the price goes down because Wizards will keep the presses rolling on this set. Thank you for the video Nitpicking Nerds.

@nathanwilliams9158 Год назад

I’m pretty hyped for Barad-Dur because of the jank potential. Assuming something dies somewhere you can activate it on an opponent’s turn at instant speed. Someone wiped my board in Brokkos? Now I have a mutate target for 3 mana. Looking for a one sided board wipe? Amass 2 on an opponent’s turn then Widespread Brutality. Have a lot of mana up in mono-black sacrifice? Sac a creature and make a surprise 5/5 to block.

@joemash4193 Год назад

I feel like Reprieve could be a really good versatile EDH staple? Serves as spot removal for opponents, you can bounce something to your own hand to protect from a board wipe, you can pull a card out of your graveyard. And you get to draw a card on top of all of that.

@EnemyToad Год назад

You can’t bounce something to your hand or get something out of the yard. “Spells” only exist on the stack, when they’re on the battefield they are permanents, and anywhere else they are cards.

@daneburke6592 Год назад

The black gate in a yargle and multani deck seems real good. Just giant growth and GG for that player

@MilkshakesforBreak Год назад

I'm seriously considering putting Elven Chorus into my Faldorn deck because it would be sooo much value with it letting me see what I'm going to impulse draw and also letting my wolves tap for mana to play more things, hopefully it doesn't get too expensive

@saboten9621 Год назад

Some personal favorites from the set are Entish Restoration (better Harrow) and Fiery Inscription (better guttersnipe). I think both will become edh staples

@derekludwig3945 Год назад

@@saboten9621 it's probably a better Harrow a lot of the time, but it's worth noting Harrow puts the lands into play untapped which Entish Resto does not, so Harrow refunds you 2 mana. Additional edge case scenario that could go either way depending on which weird circumstances cause it to matter: the land sacrifice is part of the cost of Harrow but part of the spell effects of Entish Resto. Regardless, if you're playing a deck that wants one, there's a good chance it wants both.

@saboten9621 Год назад

@@derekludwig3945 fair enough, I forgot about the fact they come in untapped, my mind just saw the card and thought get 2-3 lands=good and also if it gets countered you don't lose the land you would have to sac

@@saboten9621 it's still an excellent bit of ramp, especially in any deck that wants to get lands into the yard. I've got a Lord Windgrace list I've been struggling to cut down to 100 for like 2 years, and Entish Restoration is definitely going to make that process one card harder lol.

@daneburke6592 Год назад

Mount doom would’ve been even more disgusting if Golos was still legal since he can tutor it and is a legendary artifact himself. A great legal commander that can play it is megatron, tyrant since he’s a legendary artifact as well and the other ability is relevant since he gets you more mana the more damage is dealt to opponents.

Im surprised you like Dawn of a New Age as much as you do. Its slow draw like Phyrexian Arena, but you likely can't even play it as early (despite the lower mana cost) when Phyrexian Arena is at its best. Its true you get the first card before your opponents' turns, so that's an upside if your phyrexian arena is usually destroyed that quickly. But by drawing on your end step uou still don't get to use it to play a land or other sorcery speed spells on your turn.

@kazzilla99 Год назад

I think it's a cool utility land, and I'd probably run it since the legendary requirement isn't a crazy downside, but 3 mana for one 2/2 token doesn't seem like the best mana sink without the right conditions.

@whoissyx Год назад

@@kazzilla99 see I think this is what a lot of people are overlooking about this card... It doesn't have the usual clause of X can't be 0...that means as long as something dies you can pay 1 mana to get immediate benefits from Etb and Ltb triggers off this card...being able to slowly build up an actual beater over time isn't bad either but the ability to just get enters then dies triggers so efficiently and cheaply is what makes this card shine in my opinion...but time will tell on this one

@daneburke6592 Год назад
