So teysa survived a dragon god and an multiversal invasion by robot zombies but got murdered by a dude. Living in ravnica is tough
People talk about like “which world would you wanna visit” and I always cringe when people so Ravnica. Honestly living anywhere in the magic universe seems terrible if you don’t have super powers and even then 😬
I’ve seen Ravnica be described as ‘’5 different dystopias at the same time’’ and that seems pretty fair.
She got bet'er
I mean to be fair she’s dead but not gone - being in Orzhov, she’s mostly just salty that it happened 😅
I believe the term is "plot armour"
If you cast command the dreadhorde, it will not matter if they remove Judith, its a cast trigger that gives lifelink so you will still gain all that life
yeah, was thinking the same. Once the trigger is on the stack, it doesn't matter what happens to Judith.
Blasphemous Act
I was going to say the same thing
This is the correct answer. Kudos everyone.
Came here to say the same thing 😂
Can't wait to see Bear Force 3 with Duskana
IN A WORLD, where the queen of bears defeated The terrifying Hogaak, and the mighty Goreclaw and his human friend surrak fell to a trickster faerie and the axe of a noble dwarf.... a fur-osity is stirring in the in the forest....
This summer.... some unlucky planeswalker will encounter....the cutest thing in their life....
Cuddly bear cubs?
" oh they're so cute!"
"Not cute enough...."
"Are you serious!? They're so cuddly wuddly!"
Fade to black....
*stomping and the crush of brush*
..."we're downwind..."
*RAWR*!
*Bloodcurdling scream....*
Cut to Duskana munching on a corpse....
Fade to black...
BEAR FORCE 3: THE RAGE OF DUSKANA
"Never get between her and her cubs"
I love it! It's the epic movie voice toy need to read this in.
Really surprised Voja isn’t in this video. The card is sooooo good
Genuinely OP. Played against it tonight and the entire table had to focus it down or we were DEAD.
@@tylerbrooks6063 is it that broken? I think is good, very good, but costing 5 and in Naya colors I think he is going to lack something. I suppose giving your elves 10 counters is enough to win a game
It's not just the Elves that get counters, it's the whole board including Voja. The number of counters is what's determined by Elves. So with maskwood you can run any creatures, they'll get counters And draw for being wolves. Plus with All Will be One enchantment or the team up card Hallar and Shalai all those counters are also damage... yeah Voja is ridiculous. Even being 6mana ward freakin 3 and vigiliance is dumb amounts of compensation.
@@Controlqueen31 Homie, Voja is only 5 mana. It has Vigilance, Trample, AND Ward 3, for some reason?
It draws cards when it attacks and makes your entire team, Voja included, stronger.
So, it's a win con and card draw on a body, AND it's hard to remove. It's going to be one of the most powerful commander printed (at LEAST in Naya) in a very long time.
@@tylerbrooks6063 That's what I was thinking. In Naya is absolutely wonderful. I suppose that I need to be trampled by it in order to understand it's power.
Crazy how Voja, Jaws of the Conclave isnt in here. Card is great as an elf commander and wolf commander in general and synergizes well with both types together while overall being hard to get rid of being ward 3 5/5 for 5 mana.
Voja isn't in the main set
I was hoping to see that one
@@damo9961 neither was Melek. Or Sophia. Or Duskana.
Massacre Girl, Known Killer is going to be an extra spicy commander. So much potential, and such an intersting mechanic with wither. I'm so excited for this set, it feels like a really solid one.
I am so excited for her too :-)
She may be the first commander deck I build - sounds like fun
1:53:35 Unfortunately, the cards that care about creatures without abilities won't work while Yarus is in play. Yarus gives them Haste.
I like how the native gods in Ravnica are Gruul colors
My most anticipated is voja jaws of the conclave, mainly because there is now way it should have been made
I was really happy about Voja becoming her own card (I’m a big fan of Tolsimir), but I don’t find it super inspiring.
it isn't, but it is busted
i put restrictions to the deck, no tutors, no card draw, only native elves and wolves, and NO CHANGELINGS... still slaps@@washada
my friend has been kicking my ass every commander night with his frodo deck, it's finally payback time now that I've found something potentially more busted >:D @@blaze556922
My daughter, Judith, was born September 14th.
So... I guess this is a sign to prepare a deck for her.
For Anzrag the first creature I thought about was General Marshault Elsdragon which states when a creature you control becomes blocked it gets +3/+3 for each creature blocking it. With trample and Indestructible could be another way to just kill an opponent and their board of creatures lol
also Xenagod. 😊
So awesome they are doing the set review early. Also them not going every single legendary creature is such a time saver. Not every legendary creature is worth talking about as a commander. 🎉🎉🎉
Last Night Together is actually crazy in Anzrag because you can make an opponent's creature indestructible, then infinitely bounce your Anzrag off of it, getting as many combats as you want with attack triggers like inferno titan.
Not to mention giving him trample, you basically kill an opponent on the spot
1:16:55 I absolutely love this commander, and I cannot wait for y’all to do the upgrade of deep clue sea. I fully believe y’all will be using her as the face commander
"Ahhh, the remix" was amazing Jimmy
I'm really excited to play Anzrag and Sophia in decks. Thanks for the great card suggestions guys!
A great Delney card I haven't seen talked about much is Charismatic Conqueror from the lost caverns commander decks. Each of your opponents artifacts or creatures (including tokens!) gets you 1-2 1/1s with lifelink!
Surprised you guys didnt mention cards like Charix, Tetsuko Umezawa, or Psychosis Crawler for The Pride of Hull Glade
Haven't watched video yet, but I am calling Voja as most pushed. That thing is nuts. Draws cards, pumps self, and has keyword soup that includes Ward 3?! That's new Jodah levels of pushed.
Removal on Judith in response to a Command the Dreadhorde as it’s a cast trigger. She will still give it lifelink
Sophia has actually felt really strong in my playtesting. It's the same as a lot of other food/clue decks where it feels like I'm not doing anything until suddenly I'm doing everything.
I'm a long time listener of dungeons and daddies and I didn't expect to see Jimmy Wong irl. This was a gift.
1:28:30 I love how u guys have fun doing this!! Thanks for the vid!!
I’m so excited to slot Aurelia into my Queen Marchesa goad deck, it’s a perfect fit
Wasnt mentioned but one of my fave cards, general marhault elsdragon would go crazy in anzrag any way of giving it trample while having a lure effect is scary sounding
11:04 definitely putting indestructible on the mole god is critical
For Sophia "Night of Sweets' Revenge" would be sick. When it enters it makes a food and it makes your food tap for mana AND you can sacrifice it to gives your creatures +1/+1 for each creature. This card can literally win a game on its own.
Since Barracks of the Thousand is an ARTIFACT land there are a lot more ways to untap it compared to most lands. Grab a Voltaic Key or Clock of Omens and you're off to the races
A correction about the math at 18:55, xenagos checks the power each time, so the mole gets even bigger. It would go from 8/4 (+8/+8) to 16/12 like jimmy said, but then it would get +16/+16 to become a 32/28. Another combat would be 64/50. The real power of xenagos (and the other "at combat double" effects) is their exponential nature.
In contrast, Kamahl is only additive, giving a flat +3/+3 each time. Xenagos is called Xenagod for a reason!
Someone else already mentioned it, but im so excited for bearforce 3 in a game knights episode
1:42:12 Profaner of the dead is a 4 mana cyclonic rift for the deck. It’s pretty nuts in the deck and opens up attacks very well.
I’m definitely planning on building Tiny and the Clues deck, and of course adding Teysa into my Frodo’s Aristocratic adventure deck
So Powerful! I'll have to make a bunch of new decks. I'm gonna be broke!
My Melek, Reforged Researcher deck is based around casting cards like Irencus' Vile Duplicate or Quantum Misalignment to create a nonlegendary version of him. (Also works with Vesuvan Duplimancy) Anyways, the mana reduction stacks and I keep casting spells like Cackling Counterpart on the Nonlegendary one. When I need to draw cards, I cast an X draw spell and let all the reduction pay for the cards.
I like the play of turning obscuring aether face down if it gets targeted for destruction while you have Yarus out
Almost slimmed down my deck for Rakdos. He just has so much value!
Might look at another commander later.
Really excited about Aurelia, can't wait to crack a box of MKM
I was working in a Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck, but this new Teysa can be fun also!
I should probably mention that, if you make Anzrag indestructible and force your opponents to block it with a lure effect, you can get as many combats as they have creatures (plus one), no matter how they block. (Assuming Anzrag kills all their blockers, of course.) Even if they stack a bunch of 1/1 tokens against Anzrag, you can deal all 8 damage to the first blocker and leave the rest alive.
Rachel, please sing in the intros with Jimmy or Josh 🥺
30:00 Delney goes great in the Halfling Food Deck!
Izoni is the commander I find the most inspiring. I was thinking about building Savra, but I’ll probably go for Izoni with Savra in the 99.
I have a savra deck, was also thinking of making it izoni with savra in the 99 also
Voja, Jaws of the conclave could have been used in this video. You should go over it for sure though. Scary good card
I really like Majestic Genesis in Pride of Hull Clade. Also Feed the Pack, Last March of the Ents, Tangleweave Armor and Towering Titan.
Other great card for Yarus deck is Mystic Forge because you can play morphs as colorless spells from top of your deck.
And you can always check your top card before you use Cloak/Manifest effects.
I think if youre doing quake mole as a voltron deck you run roar of challenge and silent arbiter. If you have some way to give it trample youll most definitely be attacking over their 1 blocker and with the indestructible from roar of challenge youd have as many combats as there are creatures on the board
A card I’m surprised you didn’t mention with Izoni is Chatterfang. It gets you an additional token every time you make one. Same with Peregrin Took from LotR.
Personally, I think I’ll build her with a Food/Treasure/Clue subtheme to make Academy Manufactor really shine.
Angraz is going into my Zenagos deck and it will be so much fun
I'm really looking forward to Voja, Jaws of the Conclave ^^ wolves and elves.. noice xD
Always good to see Jody Foster leave Hell to discuss MTG, Rakdos called him up to discuss the murders
Ubrarask Forge would also work wonderfully on with Anzrag.
Can't wait to stick Delney into my Teysa Karlov Etb and Death trigger deck. ( just removed roaming throne because while I had 20 Vampires in the deck, it was only about half the creatures)
I still have Gandalf the white, Panharmonicon, and Teysa herself multiplying triggers, Delney will fit right in there. She works on 34 of the creature in the deck. I think that's a good number lol
Delney looks so fun!
Preston the Vanisher is insane with Delney. With both out you will essentially get your triggers x6
I'm shocked Vannifar ain't here. With blue flicker/blink spells, you can get one or both: 1) high cmc permanents for a massive discount; 2) permanents with awful etbs.
You guys should take a poll to see how many people want to hear the cards that synergies with the new cards. I think just a quick review would be better all round. Easier shorter video for you and a quick digestible without so much fat for us. Just saying. Appreciate all the content, thanks!
I feel like murder girl known killer should have been talked about as it is a card draw engine and a great include on decks that swing in, do aristocrat stuff on low power creatures and so much more
I thought for sure that you would also cover the new Vannifar.
I built Anzrag as soon as I saw him. He’s so fricking dope
natures will enchantment would work great with anzrag as it allows you to untap all your lands and tap your opponents land if a creature deals damage
Copy works. Judith adds a keyword and you stack her ability before the storm copies.
As an Arcades player, I'm pretty skeptical of Pride of the Hull Clade being an effective "win through combat" toughness-matters commander. It requires a lot of components and coordination of different effects. The beauty of Arcades is that it requires so little set-up. And losing white is really crippling to toughness-matters builds. I think this Hull Clade's win con has to be less about combat damage and more about ramping into a scenario where you can activate Hull Clade's ability 3 or 4 times per turn turn and draw like 20-25 cards per turn. You'll find Thassa's Oracle, Lab Maniac, and Jace as you plow through your deck, keep them in hand along with a counter spell or two to protect them, deploy them pre-combat at the key moment, and win.
Denley works wonders in Sythis deck. Draw 2 cards per cast is nice
I'm very surprised you didn't mention General Marhault Elsdragon as an add in Anzrag, it seems absolutely cracked in that deck. A lure + Marhault + Anzrag is essentially infinite combat steps
3 more cards to consider for Anzrag: Infiltration Lens, Retaliation and General Marhault Elsdragon. The latter are power and toughness pumps for each creature that blocks and last until end of turn so they will carry over across combat phases. The former is just a solid bit of draw for a commander that wants to be blocked.
Banding cards are also great includes for the Mole God. Baton of Morale, Helm of Chatzuk, Adventurer’s Guild, and Mountain Stronghold.
With Banding you shunt all the damage to another creature in the band. Like Toski, or a sacrificial token, so Mole God lives to swing again
Fun idea choose your favorite commanders completely change their colours at random, and build the deck with thou's colours. restrictions no 4 or 5 colour deck and get the same amount of colours as the original
1:18:48 Tanuki Transplanter adds mana when "equipped creature" attacks, not "an equipped creature you control". It's a great dog in the deck but putting boots onto another creature won't cause it to add mana
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but due to the cast trigger wording which makes Command the Dreadhorde "gain" lifelink, I believe that it wouldn't matter whether or not someone removed Judith in response to Command the Dreadhorde being cast, it would still have lifelink.
My favorite Judith Tech is Madcap Experiment for Aetherflux Reservoir
Also, If you get enough imps, your sac outlet can be a boardwipe (which then gains you a ton of life if you somehow don’t win)
I just realized Melek, Reforged Researcher is a reference to go Go Gadget
Great video
Surprised Bolas Citadel was not mentioned with Judith, as if most of your spells deal damage you can churn through your deck list it was no tommorow. I think she is most powerful if you think of the context of the best "pay life" do "x" type effects. Another good one is necropotence as you normally are left vulnerable but with Judith you will have plenty of life late game to end with the win. You can literally slot the cards into the deck and still keep on theme too.
1:49:58 and then using borborygmos the enraged you can sac those lands.
Judith loves Kaya’s Ghostform and Mythril Coat
Already brewed a full deck for Tiny + Sophia aka Scooby and Velma. Focusing on the Dog tribal and food as scooby snacks.
Yarus is just a auto include into the naya pre-con you'd think or already be found in the deck
The amazing part of Duskana, the Rage Mother is that the best card of it is going to be a 2/2 common 🧟♂ *Rot Wolf* 🐺 a Two-hit ko creature that can kill a 4/4 indestructible without dying and draw you cards. Chef's Kiss 🤌🏻
Thanks for not advertising that wolf elf commander, ive never seen something more power creepy
Did anyone notice Jimmy said “Lim-Duls vault” for the Teysa review part
Tyrite Sanctum as an indestructible back up for Anzrag.
Don't sleep on the red dog. His mana ability is one of the most busted things a commander can have.
Vigor is also good with the Mole God, I suppose !
I have 2 Great Danes and the moment I saw Sophia in the deck reveal, I pre-ordered it 😂
Ward is also a triggered ability that Delney can double, and all cloaked and disguised cards have Ward 2.
Artifact-O's, now available in your local cereal isle!
ghireds belligerence is a really cool card for judith! Kills X creatures with her on the board and populates X times :)
A funny thing to do with the mole is make one of your opponents' creatures indestructible, because then you get "infinite" combat phases.
Add Nacatl War-Pride and a one-sided fog, and you will have a vicious army to take out all opponents at once with all those infinite attacks.
53:55: “That carnage was nothing compared to the September… (dont say 11 dont say 11 dont say 11) 14th? Ugh nothing compared to the October… (dont day 7 dont say 7 dont say 7) uhhh 31 Carnage”
Yeah, my husband wants to make a Tiny deck. That is like the only single he wants from the set is the detective and the token.
Delney with stoneforge mystic ;)
Farmer Cotton would sit nice in the doggo deck!
with Duskana, We need a "Bear Force one" to have a return!
Missed you Jimmy!!
Soooo Bear Force 3 in a future Game Knights or Extra Turns? I'm in
I think island walk would count as swimming they swim across the lake and punch you in the face and back home
judiths current flavour text is way better than her first draft "and dont get me started on the 9/11 carnage"
How would Skyclave Apparition work if you double its trigger and you have 2 cards below. Does one get 2 tokens or one token with the combined mana costs? Or none?
You forgot about Solemn Simulacrum “sad robot” 2/2 u would get 2 lands then when it comes in and if die that would be 2 card draws
If you make enough Meleks where he is commonplace, he’ll no longer be weird.
