From what i can tell it targets and doesnt care if damage is dealt to nomads i can still use the ability to get nadu triggers

Proxying is free! The entire deck I’m playing in this video is 100% proxies

@@FarNorthMtG the store i play at dont allow proxies, be nice if they did though me and nadu be having a good time lol

@@paolodecesaris169 yep I completely missed that play in game 😅 my inexperience with Nadu was definitely showing there. Thanks for checking out the video :)

Believe me, I’m surprised too! Definitely missed that in game. That would have been the play for sure if I saw it!

@FarNorthMtG You're good. Lol I tend to not do it in my build, but that's bc I aim for more of a midrange game. Lol

@@ajuggas actually you can! yes you cannot unequip the Shuko without another creature but you can reactivate the ability to equip for the purposes of targeting Nadu - Shuko (or any equipment for that matter) don’t check if the creature is already equipped, there’s no need to “unequip.” as long as you can pay the equip cost, you can technically activate the ability to target the creature again. Greaves is the exception to this since it also grants Shroud. Thanks for checking out the video also :)

@@FarNorthMtG you can not "requip" to the same creature either again there must be another creature on the battlefield to preform this action! you might want to check out the basic rules for equipment. thank you for trying to miss inform everyone. I will now use you as learning for other judges.

@@ajuggas I’d recommend you look it up actually before you accuse me of spreading misinformation. equipment do not require it to be a new creature you equip to. 702.6a Equip is an activated ability of Equipment cards. “Equip [cost]” means “[Cost]: Attach this permanent to target creature you control. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery The only thing it checks is that you have a creature to attach it to, equipment don’t check to see if they’re already equipped to the creature being targeted. People use this same combo with Shuko and Cephalid Illusionist to mill libraries. It’s also literally on the gatherer page for Shuko :)

@@ajuggasyou are just wrong please do some research before making dumb comments go ask around and see what the internet says

It’s hard to know what the RC will do! I personally don’t think it needs to be banned but the RC has done weirder things

@@UT91490 you can’t unequip it but you can reactivate the equipment ability, equipment don’t check to see if the creature is already equipped, it’s just reactivating an ability that targets Nadu :)

Game basically was over yeah, but I gotta play it out for the video! 🙂 thanks for checking out the video!

@@FarNorthMtG ya just dissing Nadu gameplay cause its awful to watch lol.

The scalding tarn was from a nadu equip( the second time)and the shifting woods was land for turn

Yuuup haha misplay there, I totally missed that. This was probably my 3rd or 4th time piloting the deck, my inexperience is showing there

@@FarNorthMtG it’s a difficult line I only know it because I’ve seen other players be aggressive with their resetting 🤷‍♂️

I should have listened… I think that’s Sushi?

Each Scute Swarm creates a copy of itself, so 8 goes to 16.

@@UT91490 8 copies and 2 'real' ones

btw wasnt it better to cast the copy as a nadu to give all your dudes the ability again? 6:22

@@MetalsitoX yup! Good point. That definitely was better. I missed that play in the game! My inexperience with the deck definitely showing there, I think this was my 3rd or 4th ever Nadu game so I definitely could have played that better!

​@@FarNorthMtG makes sense, people still experimenting with the bird... plays insanely well vs everything, and bowmasters not interacting with it and being a 4 bottom makes it stick like glue in the battlefield :(

@@martinlefebvre963 you can re-equip to the same creature even if it is equipped already! It’s just reactivating an ability, Shuko doesn’t care if Nadu is already equipped. Thanks for checking out the video though :)

​@@FarNorthMtGcool I didn't know that

I think people are mind locked in to your supposedly not being able to re-equip because of seeing Lightning Greaves too many times.

@@hoshino5994 very likely! I’ve definitely been answering this question quite a bit between this video and my last Nadu video 😅

Ya know… damn. I definitely should have done that lol that could have been the push I needed to close out sooner than I did. This was my 3rd or 4th time playing the deck so my inexperience with the deck shows there 😅

@@FarNorthMtGor what I was thinking as soon as it got flipped it would be a second scute swarm so when landfall triggers you get 4 nadu flips

@@FarNorthMtGanother thing I think you could have done if your running dryad arbour you could have gone invasion for 0 then have a scute swarm trigger then that would be 4 more deep I believe

Came here to say this same thing as a Nadu pilot 😅 it hurt my soul knowing either flesh or metemorph of Nadu instead of delighted halfling

The pro tour definitely did seem like Nadu summer! Probably will be a short summer for Modern though anyways lol thanks for checking out the video! :)

I noticed that in post and forgot to say something about it in the video but yeah that would have been huge for me :( I kept a suuuper greedy hand and got punished for it, it is what it is lol thanks for watching the video :)

@@FarNorthMtG Figured you decline the search with boseiju because you just tutored. But i guess if you just tutored for a land it would have been better to put it straight into play. 😂

Hate you so much ♥️

@@FarNorthMtG Right back at you pookie <3

Hey good to see ya here! Yeah that hand you had was crazy! Congrats on the win and taking home the cradle by the way!

Damn, thank you! I really appreciate that. I also love how the logo turned out, you should check out the artists instagram I have in the description to see his other work! Dude is a good friend of mine and crazy talented. Also check out his band, Phobophilic if you’re a fan of death metal! Thanks for checking out the video also

I actually almost brought this to the cradle tournament! (this was filmed about a week before that event) I decided against it since I felt like I hadn't put in enough reps on the deck, I only got 3 total games of it leading up to it. Might have to bring it to the next one? Hmm

Goated album! My personal favorite Death release. Incredible band

Didn’t put too much thought into it 😅 just kinda looked around like yeah destroy that and went back to what I was doing. Was planning on winning so I didn’t care much about what I was destroying. But you’re right, if I was stopped somehow it would have mattered, I just felt really safe

That’s a good point! I’ll be sure to do that next time! Tracking life total in editing for the whole game is something I have on my list to implement in the future eventually anyways! Thanks for checking out the video :)

The Yenna deck actually doesn’t play that many Stax pieces for a GW list surprisingly! The deck needs to cast a ton of spells to do its combos so it’s not on any RoL effects. He is on Ouphe and Null Rod but Moon Blessed cleric doesn’t get him those unfortunately 😅 he arguably could have gone for Blind Obedience though, you’re right there

@@FarNorthMtG adapt or get naused 🤣🤣 i do play gw - almost 10 years- and i hate to use stax instead good cards, but it is what it is 😅😅

very fair! Whats your favorite GW build?

@@FarNorthMtG i have playing og selvala gw when i started cedh years ago and i still playing it. My deck died when p.e. was banned. I used to play turbo, but they printed more free spells and dockside - notably red, blue, black- while green/white.. you know. I adapted my deck to a more midrange/light stax style and my attempt to win will be 80% during my opponent's win attempt (yeva/emergency zone + combo - selvala effect can't be responded + angel's grace = everybody draw the deck for example). I know i will always play this deck because i can really have fun with crazy stacks.

I think so? Thinking CZcams glitched with saying there’s another comment lol I don’t see anything

Spellskite put in work that game! Was fun getting to jam some games with ya!

I think Nadu just needs to eat some counters/removal and it’s not so bad! The bird is definitely absurd but if the table is responsible and keeps him off the board and off free equips it’s not too bad! That being said I’m looking at slotting more removal and possibly a board wipe for that reasons

@@FarNorthMtG any thoughts on runic armasaur?

@@pippofelipe6901 it’s great against Nadu but won’t do much of anything in (most) other matchups. Generally speaking I’m not a fan of running cards in cedh that are only good/relevant in a single match up or for a specific deck. If you’re going to an event expecting to see a Nadu every single round I could see it working out but yeah overall I’d say I’m not a huge fan of it

Yes, exactly I’m glad you understand
