Why are Mice So Strong?!?!? | Bloomburrow MTG Spoilers 

I love when he goes "heello everyone iiits seth probably better knownasaphradaaaaaliveanditstime for another..."

Sunspine Lynx doesn't need to be blinked. Red has lots of 'create a token that is a copy of this creature' effects.

The Lynx looks like custom made to dunk on Richard. It hates on non basics, it laughs Fogs, and it's a cat which are known to eat birds.

Mice being op sounds really funny so I'm absolutely behind it

Today’s Seth-isms “Anancamancer” “Atroxa” “Ecscape tunnel” “Marcheese-a” “Eidolon of the great revels” “Aggro burn stryle” “Springheart Nantucko” “Slickslot Showoff” “Bloodthirdsty Adversary” “Cue-Mano faces Kazan” “Scorch Splitter” x2 “Cacophony Scomp” x2 “Flowering Swordmaster” I might have missed a few, but it’s always funny when Seth just says a completely different word

A mono-red card that is half a Price of Progress stapled to a over-statted body that comes down just in time to hose the protection from the One Ring? Yeah, it'll see Modern play. This cat is going to eat midrange and control decks for breakfast.

16:55 Heartfire Hero + Monstruos Rage + Sellsword (Burn Together) = Mouse goes boom (soon as Turn 2)

Feather of Flight having Flash sounds like it's to trigger Valiant on an opponent's turn.

The mice are all descendants from the rats of nimh!

Iridescent Vinelasher doesn't scale exactly like Crab because your math doesn't include drawing. By turn 3 you only have to mill 50 cards at a rate of 6%. But the offspring mode it 10% sooooo shurg emogi

RIP the fog Meta

Yo Iridescent Vinelasher is gonna be insane in the Sultai version of the Simic Desert Burn budget deck you did for OTJ not too long ago. Much hype

What I love the most about the Mice from this set, is that they synergize really well with my 4mana Aurelia deck

Yay i love these videos!!! Great job and what an amazing set!!

Somewhere Tomer is smiling with that new Cat.

As soon as I saw the first look at Bloomburrow I made sure I had a playset of Cheeky House-Mouse // Squeak By, Three Blind Mice, and Raging Battle Mouse, just in case a boros mouse deck could be a thing in standard. I like the way mice are looking so far. Ironically I think Cheeky House-Mouse // Squeak By might be the most useful for the valiant triggers.

i was looking at the vinelasher as just a middling replacement for graveyard tresspasser in golgari midrange, but you've really sold me on it as a solid threat in its own right. works really well with freestrider lookout, too, regardless of whether you use its ability to get the crime trigger or not.

How much fun do you have making spoiler videos, Seth? Because if it's just work for you it doesn't show. Always appreciate your work ethic and your insight into different formats.

Iredescant vinelasher with deserts and doppelgange is gonna be fun can't wait to add it into my deck

Vinelasher also very cool that it can play around the one ring by waiting to crack ur fetch

16:30 - Important play pattern with Hired Claw. You can activate that ability in that moment after it's attatck trigger has resolved and before damage has been dealt. You will see that a lot if this card gets played.

Did not have Standard Boros Soldier Mouse in my MTG 2024 bingo but can't wait to unleash it.

So.... How can I make this my Secret of NIMH deck?

Ahm so excited for the mice!

Sunspine Lynx could be interesting in the new offspring commander deck if you build it heavily around blinking and enters the battlefield abilities

Sunspine Lynx may be a better target for reanimation than blink. That said, its also a great target for Chord of Calling or similar tutors in decks with green.

Feather of flight is very limited coded. Usually you win in draft by sneaking past you opponents creature with evasion, the flash punishes that doubling as a 'white fling that draws a card' at worst or a 'removal spell that buffs one of your own creatures and draws a card. In standard I could see it working really nicely in a WG toxic aggro deck, Bant toxic is loosing it's blue staples but WG looks really good as a rotation proof deck. The deck also gets a few boons like channel lands rotating since they were one of the few ways to get passed both Skrelv, Defector mite and Venerated Rotpriest being colourless and not a spell respectively. Feather of Flight works great with Venerated Rotpriest by targeting to enchant and it also works really nice with Skrelv since it encourages removal. You'll cast this targeting ideally a Jawbone Duelist, trigger Rotpriest, draw, your opponent casts removal, Rotpriest Triggers, Tap Skrelv to hexproof through the removal, swing for 4 toxic in the air. That's six (five if your opponent doesn't blunder) poison in 1 turn. Targeting the aura is a good way to avoid Rotpriest but then your opponent isn't killing your creature so win win. You might cast this deal a poison and draw and your opponent double removals into the Skrelv trigger but at that point you payed 3 mana to sacrifce a creature, remove 2 cards from your opponents hand, and do 3 poison. Like it's unironically really good against decks with pretty much only creature instant speed removal like Golgari Midrang and mono black. Also against prowess decks it'll let you blow out or trade with a Slick Shot Showoff when flashed onto Jawbone Duelist. The only issue would be the trample but it can't trample if its dead, so as long as its not a Monstrous Rage you're fine. Or Tap The Seedcore first and then Feather to get around 2 rages. Against creature heavy decks that tap out to build a bunch of blockers trying to out wide you it's also really nice to just flash out and be like "Surprise! The Teeth Man has wings now! My turn?"

I am so hyped to play a Boros mouse deck but also I am supper hyped for the Golgari squirrel deck with chatterfang, ygra and Hazel of the rootbloom for that create tons of squirrel's eat the Squirrel's to make Ygra bigger and get more Squirrels back.

Sunspine Lynx, aka Teleportation Circle's new friend.

Vinelasher is going to be great in mill for standard too. Turn 4 mill trigger with deepmuck and the ability to play Sheoldred to stabilize.

Feather of Flight has haste so you can trigger Valiant on an opponents turn! :)

Idk if the lynx is main deck card in modern but I can definitely see it being just a solid sideboard card for decks the struggle dealing with the one ring. Though it may just be worse then disrupter flute and other cards.

Red may not do blink, but it does do "make a token copy of a creature but sac the token at the end of turn/combat" which can absolutely abuse Sunspine Lynx

Seth is always so positive on modern and standard playability. Looks like a format defining set for Standard.

in regards to emberheart challenger it seems like seth forgot about the modern gruul prowess deck that just barely missed top 8 at the pt, definitely interesting there

I can totally see the new monored 4of staples being heartfire hero,emberheart challenger,demonic rucus,monstrous rage,slickshot showoff,monastery swiftspear.turn 1 hero into turn 2 ruckus gives us a 3/3 menacer,that needs to get answered,and if it dies it burns the opponent and draws a card..pretty strong sequence for standard..also the emberheart challnger being a hasty creature with prowess and card advantage with its valiant ability,is an abbot of keral keep on steroids..definately the best red card from the set..high chances to see modern play in gruul prowess imo

Emberheart Challenger is mostly gonna compeat with Slickshot Show-Off. And I think it's the slightly worse orn of the 2, so it will probably be copy 5-8 of it, in Standard & Pioneer

That lynx is going into rurik thar for sure

I do think Hired Claw can be good but we played Scorch Spitter to activate the Spectacle cards and it's synergy with Cavalcade decks. Scorch Spitter gave you sorcery speed lightning bolt and and a 1 mana 'draw' 2.

I'm looking to play the Vinelasher in a discard burn deck with Hopeless Nightmare and Bandit's Talent. It might just give the deck enough reach to make it at least a fun tier deck.

I have a walking atlas+retreat combo deck that is going to be getting some of those vinelashers

Kathy Bates: Mountain Man For real though, this man is an MTG Savant, and one of my favorite sources for MTG information.

I can’t wait for mice equipment

I like how Hired Claw can use its activated ability if an opponent uses a fetch land or a shock land.

A good blink commander that could play Sunspine Lynx is Pramikon. While Pramikon doesn't accelerate your gameplan, he's a pretty incredible piece for directing the flow of the game.

Iridescent vinelasher in a caves deck with spelunking and cosmium confluence. Might be time to revisit your caves deck from lost caverns.

I need the Sultai Against the odds Iridescent doppelgang. x3 is a 1 shot in many cases.

Not blink but sunspine is perfect for my delina wild mage deck

I think Feather of Flight has flash so you can surprise block opponent's flyers in limited.

Big fan of Vinelasher turning deserts into shocks and bolts lol

That lynx is going to be perfect in my delina wild mage deck. Couldn't have designed a better card if i tried

Will Sunspine lynx finally force Seth to play basics?

Does Vinelasher work with a card like Awaken the Woods?

2:15 pretty domain isnt gonna exist after rotation happens considering the Trilands are gonna be gone

Rakdos burn vexing devil bonepicker vinelasher goblin guide rakdos burn would be ok is bonepicker vexing devil strong enough?

vine slasher landfall card is gonna be nutty in the analyst deck 😅

Black Burn is back baby.

Thank god for that lynx

I'm down for critters!

A lot of these mice sound like they would be really good with ertha jo

Time for Naya blink!

I'm going to loop Masterful Recycling with a Grand Abolisher out to win games in cEDH.

19:13 flash auras, work well with valiant triggers

Me watching this video: "well that goes into Boros-heroic"

5:22 Even going beyond blink, in RW equipment decks, you could probably give this Myriad pretty easily.

iridiscent vineslasher as "finisher" for golgari scapeshift in pioneer/explorer

Sunspine Lynx + Calamity Galloping Inferno

Hey look, it's Seth, probably better known as "Seth probably better known as Saffron Olive"

You could run the sunspine Lynx in a red black recursion deck

5:15 While not a BLINK commander: Satya, Aetherflux Genius can easily get value off of copying it

Sunspine linx seems tomer new best friend

Sunspine Lynx will see play because it can beat The One Ring's protection effect

It’s pretty funny that we are still comparing everything to sheoldred’s stats even with rotation

Delney + Iridescent Vinelasher You can double the Offspring

Question: Does "Damage can't be prevented." bypass Ward?

I cant wait to watch yall get blown out by the firecat in the commander games on fridays.

is iridescent vinelasher just insane in modern. not only does it damage wenn lands enter but the opponent is also taking from their own lands. play fetch creack 2 damage, opponents turn they fetch pay 1 crack pay 2 for shock. thats 5 damage per turn cycle in a 1 drop.

Sunshine lynx is this sets 4 mana creature trap

Lynx is going straight into my delina wildmage deck

i wonder if sunspine lynx can help some commander decks deal with nadu

I’m also incredibly high -Seth better known as saffron olive oil

Aggro is getting so many new toys. Where are the control cards?

8:30 vinelasher is actually worse than ruin crab if we are going by percentages due to your opponent starting with cards in had lowering the card count needed to mill.

sunspine go straight in my Ruric Tar commander

Sunspine Lynx = Aggro Red had a reason to go to 4. Hell of a payoff

Heeeelloooo every one!

Buy your copies of the one ring because now there’s less reason to ban it once the lynx comes out

iridescent vinelasher seems super strong!!

New stats for 1 cmc are 1/2 now. Eat that power creep.

Mabel seems like a curious early spoiler, since this set doesn't seem to care much about equipment thus far. I guess the idea is to pass her equipment around to all your other valiant mice, rather than simply leave it equipped to one creature? Kind of a neat spin on equipment.

Galewind moose... They just keep trying to make Colossus Dreadmaw better when it was already prefect.

flash flying to surprise block a flyer

Sir squeeks a lot, and his mighty cheese wheel.

I vote for another black burn build! I love black burn, it is my favorite archtype

will sunspine sphinx take care of glacial chasm abusers?

Price of progress in a giant stick!

Vinelasher isn't quite as good as Ruin Crab, because your opponent starts at 53 cards and loses one card by drawing every turn. That's closer to 6% on a rapidly draining source, versus Vinelasher's 5% on an otherwise steady source. I agree they generally fulfill the same purpose and scale in a similar way, I'd just argue that Ruin Crab is a little bit better.

The Boros player in me is excited for mice to curb stomp people

Phlage blink deck with lynx for commander!

sunspine lynxx is literally anti sheoldred 😅. right down to the power toughness (5/4)
