Wizards...What in the World?!? | Inga and Esika | Incredible! | March of the Machine Spoilers | MTG 

Make sure you check out my episode on Hidetsugu and Kairi! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mPsH4G5lVto.html

WotC: *prints Chulane* WotC: "Oops - maybe putting ramp and card draw into a single commander is too powerful..." WotC: ... WotC: *prints Inga and Esika*

Something worth mentioning, Trinisphere makes it so you HAVE to spend 3+ mana on your creatures (and everyone else so its good to slow people down) so at the cost of a little bit of efficiency, you can draw off of every creature including your llanowar elves.

2:54 "All your creatures are dorks!" I'm always shouting that at one of my opponents before I flip the table and storm off.

Important to note it makes perfect sense that Inga has a chariot pulled by cats, because the Norse goddess Freya, whom she is a reference to, has a chariot pulled by cats. If I remember correctly the cats were a wedding present from Odin.

A simic commander that ramps and draws cards. Imagine my shock

This might fit pretty well into the 99 of a Jodah the Unifier deck just off of the decent sized legendary body and team-wide vigilance, which is always a plus when you have beefy creatures (which you always will when Jodah's on the field). That mana dork and card draw effect would just be butter on top to go bigger faster.

Yeah, simic surely needed this. 🤣

This is perfect for a Sissay/Elk deck! Are you kidding me? Couldn’t run Essika normally due to the elk’s pip restriction. This is just what it’s needs 😂

As someone who doesn’t own a cat, but likes cats, I approve this commander.

I'm detecting another Omega level commander video in the near future.

I can't wait to run this as a keruga companion deck.

That art is adorable

Ooooh I like this commander. Promotes a go wide and a go big playstyle

This fits well in my Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy/Sea Monsters deck

I thought the art was so cool when I first saw it, those cats are hilarious!

Got me wanting to try out Karuga the Macrosage as a companion

Extremely creative titles there, Mitch.

What about the stuff that makers your lands into creatures? Ambush Commander, Kamahl's Will, Life and Limb, Living Lands, Living Plane, Nature's Revolt, Nissa Steward of Elements, Nissa Worldwalker, Rude Awakening, Sylvan Awakening, Tatyova Steward of Tides, Thelonite Druid plus of course something to make your Lands Indestructible for wipe protection. This route looks quite strong

Simic being Simic, again. Still, this duo might finally get me to play the color combination.

That's a solid good card! Going to love it

Perfect for my upcoming Radagast deck.

This would probably be the only Simic deck I would build

My Jedit Ojanen, Mercenary deck is salivating right now.

Oh great simic card advantage and ramp, who would have guessed?

finally there's cards being released to help my green-blue lab maniac deck lol

A bit of a mythology lesson might be worth sharing here. The cat chariot actually comes from Norse mythology. Freya was gifted the cats by Thor, so she could attend her son, Baldur’s funeral. As for the rainbow, it takes influence from Bifrost, the rainbow in Norse mythology that connects the realm of the humans to the realm of the gods. While that perished in Ragnarok, it seems to be going strong here in the war against phyrexia. By the way, since the two characters that comprise this commander come from Kaldheim, it’s a HUGE flavor win! 😊

Sweet new video!

Does all 3 mana have to come from creatures or can I do only 1 or 2 mana from creatures

Ancestral Statue and Intruder Alarm both say hello

I'm still waiting to see your take on borbor and fblthp

For having ramp and card draw on a single card, seems pretty fair

Nice, this might be my new Eldrazi commander lol... not budget 😅

The cats are adorable

This card is, like, custom made for my Volo/Master Chef/Keruga deck.

This will be nuts for jodah

Urtet needs this lol

Hydras know only the feast, and I fear those kitties are cute.... For now. Wicked hydra- devour deck

It's fine. The fact it has the tap symbol means creatures can't chain into themselves easily.

Imagine this on a Momir full creature's deck?

I have a simic grolnock the omnivore aka grolnock the god-frogger aka god frog tribal deck I'm building... This card makes me very happy 😂

Oh look, Intruder Alarm has gone up in price again

Would the cost X hydras be wasted in this kind of deck?

Oh law'd it Arixmethes tech.

Good for a simic elf base deck.

My mind immediately goes to convoke... Would a convoked creature count as mana paid? Or is it a substitute cost.. Just a simple thought I could probably look it up!

no mention of kinnan ? he makes your creatures tap for 2 lol

The best art in the world... i need a playmat

They look so fun, too bad they didn't settle on mono green, either way definitely going to muddle a simicy munster deck together with those girls.

The voice you used to describe the card to a future magic player sounded awfully like Kermit the Frog :)) Rainbow connection in your head?

It's funny that OG (yeah, I said it) Esika also makes your creatures dorks, but nobody cares because they just look at the bridge. I have a Gruul Esika legendary/Bard Class deck that is super fun, the only problem is convincing people on Spelltable that it is a mid power ESIKA deck, not playing the bridge.

I need this as a commander. Please build a crazy deck tech around this. This is so budget friendly and all the ramp!

0:45 he sounded like Kermit the frog lol

Holy hell this is powerful, wow lol.

Esika got a more colorful card... With less colors. Totally makes sense 🤣

Bruh this card just made papi Chulane happy

Not mentioning Kinnan is a miss

This is going in my god tribal deck

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy

Flash creature tribal

Let's go Food Chain lol

I'm kinda surprised they didn't lean into a potentially interesting Simic Aristocrats sort of deal with Inga caring alot about death and esika caring about mana, feels like a missed opportunity and the final product just turned out really generically okay.

Wrenn and Esika

Nice Kermit voice!

Art its kind of clunky but its going to my esika legends deck for sure

i really dont get the excitment you have for this... its a simic commander that does ramp and card draw.... soooo unique

Put it into the 99 of Urtet.

make mana & draw cards? 🤔 nice nice

Inga out here looking like Mr. Bean

Intruder Alarm yet again

WotC's A : "What does green and blue do?" WotC's B : "ramp mana + big creatures and draw, respectively" WotC's A : "are them their precise, most *obvious* focus?" WotC's B : " yes ..... why? No new Idea?" WotC's A : "No, *print it!*"

Uh is cycling a creature spell if on a critter? 😅

Ummm also… lightning greaves! Lol

Wayne Reynolds 🥴🥴

Safe about be EXPENSIVE 😅

Chulane who? ;)

Wait I thought Esika got killed by Vorincliks

No Thousand year Elixir? 😢

nyan cat commander

So, I’m a crazy cat lady who isn’t too good at making Commander Decks on their own. Anyone got any suggestion with making a cat themed deck with this commander? Looking more for fun than competitiveness.

AH, YES! Another Simic Commander that can win the game out of the blue... Reminder... for the finisher / alternate wincon, 1. Cyclonic Rift *Overloaded* + Shaman of Forgotten Ways *Formidable ability* 2. Thassa's Oracle / Jace, Wielder of Mysteries / Laboratory Maniac : for drawing your whole library out 3. Epic Struggle : for controlling 20+ creatures 4. Simic ascendancy / Helix pinnacle : for having a set amount of counters on them 5. Summoner's Pact + Hive mind : for opponents that doesn't play green ### 5.5. Summoner's Pact + Hive Mind + Deadeye Navigator + Mnemonic Wall/Archaeomancer + *Mana Doubler* : Recur 'Summoner's Pact' 10+ times to possibly win against a green deck. 6. Kiora's Follower + Intruder Alarm + The deck of many things + *Sac outlet(e.g. Ashnod altar) : Too much RNG and not reliable but will be fun nonetheless. 7. Altar of Dementia + *Token Doubler(e.g Doubling Season/Parallel Lives)* + *Token Generator(e.g. Ant Queen)* + Concordant Crossroads : For milling other's deck. ### 7.5. Same as above but using a ETB token generator (e.g. Avenger of Zendikar) + Deadeye Navigator.

Swag

Anyone else find it weird that WOTC goes from "Creatures you control have [X]" to "This creature has [X]. Other creatures you control have [X]" back to "Creatures you control have [X]"??? Feels so odd to me...

🤤🤤🤤

Oh cool art! *sees simic* Urgh, so a draw effect is somewhere. There's no creativity in boring, op simic 😝

First? :D ❤

First!❤

Ughh, simic really didn't need anymore cards with card draw and ramp stapled together. Art is incredible though. But yea... fk simic.

This is stupid. Turn lands into creatures, tap Gaeas Cradle. Profit.

Honestly, I'm not really a fan. The text is fine, i suppose. But the art, It's a bit too ridiculous for me. It just feels like something I'd see in an un set, not in the main story. It kind of feels like the main story is becoming a joke. It feels kinda disappointing, in my opinion.

WTF is that art? are those cats pulling a chariot???

🏳‍🌈? all jokes aside, busted commander
