Top 10 Haste Enablers in Magic: the Gathering
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- Haste is one of the strongest abilities a creature can have in magic, allowing creatures to ignore summoning sickness entirely and attack or use their tap abilities right away. The ability to attack as soon as a card is played is hard to undersell. In a way, it’s like putting a card into play a turn early, as it can threaten the opponent a full turn earlier than any other threat. As a result, it’s probably not much of a surprise that cards that give other cards haste have, at least, at times, been very powerful. Today, we’re going over the best cards in the game that give out this powerful ability.

(Just a note, we have people who actually know the game very well making the scripts for this channel. As the owner of the channel (Theduellogs/hirumaredx) is a total newbie to the game.)
Turn one mountain, faithless looting, discard anger just hits different.
I think Crashing Drawbridge is also a decent Haste enabler. A bit slower than Tuktuk Rubblefort without reach but it's colorless, cheaper, and a little bit more chunky. Honestly it was one of the best includes in Arcades the Strategist. Surrak the Hunt Caller, Surrak and Goreclaw, and Halana and Alena Partners are also other really good haste enablers. I could see Surrak and Goreclaw be added to that dredge deck in place of the Dragonlord Kolaghan since it could do something similar but in better colors for dredge.
Minor correction to Kenrith: He doesn't give all _your_ creatures haste and trample.
He gives _ALL_ creatures haste and trample.
This is important in multiplayer settings, where he can support allies, however temporary they might be.
No Bushwhacker, no Reckless Charge :(
Concordant Crossroads and Mass Hysertia not been mentioned is a sin both are super mana effective and good.
They aren't that good though. Crossroads is at least special in green, but Hysteria is pretty bad.
Thats because this guy is an idiot. Didnt mention urabrask either which is 100 times better than that trash dragon. And greaves over boots is hilarious.
@@fernandobanda5734 Hysteria creates easy Infinite combos and does it's job effectively with only been one Mana. Calling it bad is funny. One could argue where it stands from amongst the good but it is good. Any card that enables what you want to do for just one mana without any restrictions can't be deemed bad.
I think the only argument one can make against these they aren't finishers. But that;s a different topic. As then this Top 10 would be Top 10 Haste Finishers. Which then we would have to say Craterhoof Behemoth etc.
@@thek838 I guess if you have a combo that needs multiple instances of haste it's the better choice. I don't know what sort of combo that is, though.
I don't agree that one-mana "do something" is automatically not bad. A lot of effects including Mass Hysteria are one mana BECAUSE they are not worth a card. A lot ZERO mana effects would be bad too because they are not worth a card. I'd rather have a more expensive card that gives haste and does something on its own, which is just this list.
I said Any card that enables what you want to do, not just does something. One Mana for enabling what you want is great. It's like if you wanted your deck to be banding I dunno why since banding is not great but if there was a one mana card that gave everything you play have banding and your goal was to band then it's very effective for it's purpose. Therefore can't be bad according to that does exactly what you want it do.
If I'm not mistaken, Kenrith can't activate abilities from the Command Zone. He has to be on the battlefield to do that. Far as I know, only Eminence abilities activate whie the Commander is in the Command Zone.
He can't. Abilities can only activate on the field and the CZ is not the field. There's a few exceptions, Kenrith isn't one of them.
Not even a honorable mention for Goblin Bushwacker?
That's what I came to say also!
Sometimes i wonder about this channel
And while not as powerful, reckless bushwhacker as well
The nature of how CZcams has to work is they have to offer slightly different content between channels.
So to avoid talking about the exact same cards in every context you would expect them to, sometimes they'll leave one out or add one in that is too easy to think of.
Even for Top lists.
@@darthparallax5207 ...then they should say thats what was done? I cant be expected to know their canon
"Mark of fury" is a great forgotten card its one red aura that gives haste but returns to your hand at end of turn, basically a reusable haste spell.
Im usually seeing this 4 hours later or so. Nice to finally catch this 13 mins in.
Amazing!
Hyped to see my boy Kenny in there. He's just so fun to play.
one of my favourite haste enablers is Concordant Crossroads, being a world echantment and giving all creatures hastes makes it unique and also costing 1 green mana, with haste being a primarily a red ability makes it pretty cool and and interesting card, the rulestext around it being a world enchantment doesnt come up often and so its a really efficient way to move your gameplan forward.
Crashing Drawbridge is the other colorless haste enabler I tend to run aside from Greaves/Boots. Haste enablers outside of red are quite rare and being able to give your whole board haste can be very useful. The only downside of Crashing Drawbridge is that it doesn’t have haste itself so you can’t tap it to give your other creatures haste the turn it comes down
surprised not to see rhythm of the wild!
It doesn't actually give Haste but Riot may be even better even if that card doesn't work with tokens. Fires of Yavimaya is very similar and in the day was a terror allowing Fading creatures to attack the turn they came in; with it a single Blastoderm could be lethal.
Although somewhat slow, Uncivil Unrest in a +1/+1 counter deck is a great fun haste enabler as it has the added perk of allowing your buffed creatures to hit blockers and players for double damage
I've always been very sentimental to Urabrask the Hidden. I know he isn't a particularly strong card, but the look and lore to him appealed to me and I pulled a lot of copies in New Phyrexia days.
Three of my commander decks are helmed by creatures that give haste because I love creature strategies. Samut, Voice of Dissent is a warrior tribal deck, Garna the Bloodflame is a strange but powerful graveyard combo deck, and Halana and Alena, Partners is a power matters deck, all super fun and unique decks
I have a red warrior/barbarian/berserker deck with Lovisa Cold-eyes as the commander which is fun, your Samut deck was the thing that made me think of it. Also I love Halana and Alena Partners. It is such an underrated card, glad to see someone else using it.
Flamekin Zealot is also how my Horde of Notions deck gives a big board of Elementals Haste and a quick win.
It pairs pretty nicely with Yarok the Desecrated.
Mass hysteria
Rising of the Day - 2 generic and 1 red Enchantment, gives all your creatures haste and pumps your legendarys! Definitely a favourite of mine
Have a great 3 day weekend, Mr Logs!!!
Kenrith gives all creatures trample and haste, not just your own. It makes it a lot more potent in commander for politics
No concordant crossroads or rhythm of the wild?
top ten control cards of al time
Honestly, Fires of Yavimaya should have made this list as an actual entry and not just as a footnote. It was a very dominant part of the Invasion era of Magic, thanks to its ability to enable an out-of-nowhere swing for lethal.
It’s been power crept by either cheaper options or more practical effects for the same cost.
Being able to out-of-nowhere swing for lethal could literally be any haste enabler.
Why was Concordant Crossroads not on this list? One mana to give everything haste.
Spending one card just to do that is pretty bad. Also, you need it early so you need to run multiple copies but all copies except for the first are redundant.
Concordant Crossroads in an elf deck can get destructive very quickly
@@ReederMG You already have Craterhoof to bring out. You don't need a bricky enchantment that you need to draw and that needs significantly more power on the board.
@@fernandobanda5734 Craterhoof is the game finisher, but with Concordant Crossroads in the elf deck (especially when comboed with Glimpse of Nature) you can get to that game finisher turn 1 or 2 turns earlier. It's about the speed, and elf decks just really take off when all of them suddenly have haste, and Concordant Crossroads is the fastest way to give them all haste.
@@ReederMG You don't need haste. You need Heritage Druid and maybe Birchlore Rangers. Crossroads is actively a brick if you're trying to draw into lethal, like I explained above. Every additional Heritage Druid you draw keeps the chain going and adds power to the board, every additional Crossroads is completely dead in your hand.
Crashing Drawbridge.
i would argue concordant crossroads is the most powerful haste enabler, even if it is symmetrical, the ability to give haste in green can be extremely explosive.
My thoughts exactly. I remember how powerful it was to watch this in an elf deck with Glimpse of Nature. Players would basically play through their whole deck on turn 2 or 3
I wish Lightning Greaves had a mana cost of zero xD
How appropriate that I watch this within minutes of being uploaded. Flavor win!
How did you not open the list with "Kolaghan, take us away."?
Demigod of revenge
Sneak Attack?
greaves and mana dorks just unfair. turn 1 sol ring and greaves. turn 2 dork, greaves dork dork dork dork dork is just insane.
I still have Dragonlord Kolaghan in my old deck. And I consider her to be my dragon waifu in MTG 😂😂
No Crashing Drawbridge?!
Lightning Greaves has a casting cost of two.
Yugioh monsters: Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
Nah. Concordant Crossroads sees legacy play - not on the list. No. 1 is a Commander staple instead :D
I very rarely use Haste. I like longer fights, position warfare you could say. Games where we both have 10+ creature and both are waiting for a good moment to attack, when we both can loose a game by attacking at wrong time.
Dragon tempest………
Prediction concordant crossroads 1 or 2
Nope. Dang
Yeah, this list wasn't just for haste effects for your whole board and also included single target haste effects, which really skewed the list. Even if not crossroads mass hysteria which is almost the same exact thing but red probably could have been on the list.
I'd be hard pressed to add a "helps your opponent" card to a best of list personally
For 1 mana you should be able to make the effect asymmetrical. I was probably too hype for the 1 or 2 spot but it should be top 10? @@R3DM4G3
@R3DM4G3 crossroads is a world enchantment so it also is both easier to remove and in very niche cases can be removal. Being able to remove it with another world enchantment before it helps your opponent is a part of the card.
And in the case of mass hysteria red is red who cares if it helps your opponent when you spent one mana to kill them a turn faster overall.
Goro goro not being on this list is actually a let down
Literally a 2 drop creatute that every turn can give you board haste for 1 red
A good chunk of mentions in this video are very much weak especially in comparison
Joke: Best cards that give your creatures horsemanship!
17:33 He can't. Abilities can only activate on the field and the CZ is not the field. There's a few exceptions, Kenrith isn't one of them.
He's not saying it can be activated from the command zone, he's just saying having a combo enabler in your command zone is powerful. It's a pretty common way to phrase it.
Ever notice how no one actually just says thanks for a video, but just bitches that cards they like arent on here?
Kind of annoying.
