    I used to have a Goreclaw stompy-deck, and it was surprisingly good. You'd be shocked how many amazing green creatures there are with 4-or-more power that become borderline broken when they cost a mere 2 less.

    One thing to note on springleaf drum is that it works well in decks where you want the value of your commander, but don't necessarily want it attacking. You'll have that commander in play quite often.

    Dusk Mangler is my favourite finisher in Yarok. Its value increases dramatically when you can blink it, multiply its trigger or even Saw it in Half

  • @Kopekemaster

    Since it's on mind, as I was working on it while listening to this video, I'd really love to see a video from you guys as a followup to your commander cube video - specifically, what changes you've made *and how you made them*. I built a three player commander cube at the start of COVID and haven't updated it since, and the prospect of going through it and updating it is daunting, to say the least. It's designed like a puzzle, with lots of cross synergy between archetypes, so changing archetypes or what cards are in each archetype is a very difficult task.

      Try Runadi, Behemoth Caller. I love her. Motto of the deck is "large and in charge". Runadi eleminates the problem of big green creatures (they are slow) by giving them additional +1 counters and hasting them.

  • @sarahcrowe612
    @sarahcrowe612 Před rokem

    Sygg, River Cutthroat would go great in a Zimone and Dina deck, and if that deck had Dina, Soul Steeper, your Target opponent from Z&D would lose 2 life and Dina SS would make them lose a 3rd life...plus it's Blue and Black which is part of Z&D colors. You'd also get to draw 2 cards with that combo.
    My question is, with that combo, if you draw 2 cards as is, would you have to sacrifice a creature in order to trigger it's abilities? ..Because it does say when you draw your second card.
    (I tried wording that as well as I could.)
    Am I onto something here? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    You're not the only people wondering why Exchange of Words is legal in regular, non-acorn black-border world. Mark Rosewater said that this was the card that most surprised him on the list of "yeah, this works within the rules" Unfinity cards.

  • @dakotajohnson4229
    @dakotajohnson4229 Před rokem

    Thank you! My entire point on this matter has been either that it is insulting in so many ways. It either disrespects the setting where you break the rules of the world in which author carefully instituted, it is pandering, or it is meant to hold people in a particular political light. These worlds are often times crafted to resemble the times and places they are set in, so character magically being something they physically cannot be according to the story's own rules. I need not mention pandering here, but the overwhelming need to portray their fellow man in a particularly prejudicial light, not because it's deserved, but because they want it to seem like a bigger issue than it already is. I think the part that gets me the most is that they are wasting effort as well as some seriously good acting chops on a non-canonical version of a character in which they have to further alter the work to get it tow fit properly.

      you are a spellslinger deck, you are probably not running enough evasive creatures or creatures you don't care about losing to make this consistent+there are cheaper ways to copy spells, and if you are not a spellslinger deck you probably don't need this card. This looks fun if you use it in a timmy way, but it doesn't look good to me, maybe if it was an instant there would be more uses for it
