      Roaming throne in Allies!! It also is an ally entering, which triggers them as well.

      I attended my first prerelease with this set, and had a blast. I got some good pulls as well.

  • @Deeplight32
    @Deeplight32 Před 7 měsíci +138

    Notably with Myrim and Roaming Throne, ward is a triggered ability so each copy of roaming throne will make opponents pay multiple times to get past ward.

    • @elijahwalker323
      @elijahwalker323 Před 7 měsíci +10

      so Myrim, roaming throne is totally a valid play.

    • @TehDome
      @TehDome Před 7 měsíci +20

      Exactly - playing the Throne with Miirym on the board will already give you 2 more Thrones for a total of 3.
      Now ward triggers 3 additional times when Miirym or a Throne gets targeted aka making them pay 8 mana to not get their spell/ability countered....
      At this point a boardwipe is needed or its basically over already.

    • @thexboxmanq5998
      @thexboxmanq5998 Před 7 měsíci +6

      Roaming throne just seems like a no brainer. Get lucky in opening hand. Play Myrim. Get 2 thrones. Now everything u do for the rest of the game is tripled. 3 copies of all dragons and most dragons that you would run in that deck have attack triggered abilities.

    • @lordvizier4379
      @lordvizier4379 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Added roaming throne to the merfolk deck and it became nuts. Once it was out I created a 36/36 by turn 3 or 4. Plus there were just two creatures with wards on them and it made the board untouchable.

  • @snakeman830

    Sword of X and Y cycle doesn't get any benefit from Roaming Throne. The triggered abilities are on the swords themselves, not the equipped creatures.

    Dracosaur fits into a neat little niche where it either gets instantly removed pulling hate away from your real threats, or it sticks around long enough to pull in a crazy amount of value over time.

  • @sheahon1179
    @sheahon1179 Před 7 měsíci +21

    As a small point of fact, Bronzebeak Foragers is actually the card that you and Prof played your game of chicken with at 20 minutes into the episode, Kitesail Larcenist is the card Jimmy used to protect his commander from his own Toxic Deluge at 1:18 minutes into the episode. Though both work similarly

    @walterwiffles7384 Před 7 měsíci +5

    One of my favourites from this set is the Roaming Throne. Going into about 5 of my decks. Such a good and versatile card.

  • @MysticLeviathan
    @MysticLeviathan Před 7 měsíci +11

    I’m surprised you didn’t mention at all that ojer taq’s ability only applies to creature tokens. to me, that’s the biggest issue of the card. not the cost or lack of protection. it’s comboing with smothering tithe and academy manufacturer and those types of cards that make token doublers so powerful. being limited to creature tokens is by far its biggest issue.

  • @beningram1811
    @beningram1811 Před 7 měsíci +5

    11:05 When I was a kid we had a similar “escape from a room with no windows or doors” word puzzle thing. Ours involved a table though.
    He’s trapped in a room, with no windows or doors, or exits of any sort. Just a table and you. How did he get out?
    He looked around and saw. He used the saw to cut the table in half. Two half’s makes a whole. He crawled out of the hole, and ran away.

  • @scottdculver
    @scottdculver Před 7 měsíci +2

    Ojer Taq - I plan to have it in my deck that has Vishgraz, the Doomhive in it. If I have Far Traveler or Teleportation Circle out (I also have Anointed Procession and Doubling Season in this deck) then at end step I blink Vishgraz and get 9 mites with toxic 1. Sure, there are board wipes or give everything a -1/-1 that can take them out, but I've got multiple ways to make a lot of toxic tokens. Best case and I have Ojer Taq and 2 doublers out then I blink for 15 mites. I get that it takes a turn to fully benefit, but it's going in every white token deck I have. It's not always going to be able to be dealt with, and if it gets killed, it the tokens remain, then I'm easily attacking with 3 and getting it back. OR... in my planeswalker party deck. Many planeswalkers make tokens. I can put this out with 4 planeswalkers and 3 are probably going to make 1 token. Pop them all off and I've got 9 tokens in 1 turn.

  • @JAXTHEGNOME
    @JAXTHEGNOME Před 7 měsíci +7

    Dauntless Dismantler - 25:35 Not X or less.. it's X only. So pick a value for X and only those MV get popped.

    • @djryat4591
      @djryat4591 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Came here to say this 😂

  • @Agaures
    @Agaures Před 7 měsíci +1

    I totally agree with the assessment of Ojer Taq. I pulled them, and it immediately went into my Hazezon deck. In most situations, though, it is just a "win more" type of thing.

  • @thestarscape2446
    @thestarscape2446 Před 7 měsíci +1

    For Ojer Taq, i absolutely intend to put one in my Council of Four deck, in a turn cycle i can make up to 12 2/2 Knights, only potentially needing to spend two mana on my turn to make 3

  • @jk0r
    @jk0r Před 7 měsíci +4

    "We are just not gonna give him vampires. And also, we are going to attack him. Just like with an Esper Sentinel or Rhystic Study."
    That's bold to say after a Game Knights where Jimmy just drew 35 cards off of a Rhytic Study.

    • @Tupiaz
      @Tupiaz Před 7 měsíci

      The difference is you have the choice. Tap my artifact or not. When playing playing against Rhystic Study you have the option of not playing the card you want or play it. There is a huge difference in the impact. You can still play the spell which gives you the artifact, they just enter tapped.

  • @STS-qi1qy
    @STS-qi1qy Před 7 měsíci +1

    Love Ojer Taq but agreed that it's a 'win more'. Feels amazing when you get it to go off but if you can get it to go off you we're almost certainly on the cusp of victory anyway.

  • @treecko3453
    @treecko3453 Před 7 měsíci +4

    Ojer Taq does have its flaws, but it's also half the price of anointed procession 🤔

  • @isaiahkahler4838
    @isaiahkahler4838 Před 7 měsíci +2

    So from the Ojer Taq conversation, that card is super good as a commander. Fill your deck with the planeswalkers that make creatures and the attacker cards that make creatures. Then you’re getting the benefit of Taq several times in the same turn.

  • @YokedDrunkard
    @YokedDrunkard Před 7 měsíci +3

    One deck I know for certain that loves Ojer Taq is my Ratadrabik deck. Tripling up the copied legendary tokens is crazy.

  • @Crowned_Goblin
    @Crowned_Goblin Před 7 měsíci +8

    Ojer Taq fits really well in Atla Palani.
    3 eggs can represent almost 18+ mana in value if all your creatures 6cmc or greater.
    I tend to find this best because that’s the investment for Atla (4 cast + 2 tap)

    • @thejesteramongfools
      @thejesteramongfools Před 7 měsíci

      its even better when you think about the fact that Ojer Taq will most likely be cheated into play via an egg negating the downside of the CMC

  • @BroncosDaBomb19
    @BroncosDaBomb19 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Getting an Ojer Taq soon to put in my Quintorious, Loremaster deck. Just basically a nice way to create extra Spirits to sac for free instants/sorceries along with blockers/attackers. I’ve got every iteration of him too, so plenty of tokens on the same turn Ojer Taq enters the battlefield without having to pay mana.

  • @tm_mtg

    Hey! This is Jared Coleman. Thanks for the dedication! I really love the amount of effort you guys put into your content, and I really enjoyed seeing you all live at MagicCon Philly this year. I wasn't able to meet you guys at your booth since the line was capped, but I did pick up some sweet merch and Craig gifted me a signed print of the "Epic Play" art at the end of the day because he liked my infect shirt!

  • @wunderbar5702
    @wunderbar5702 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Ojer Taq I think would excel in a Kykar deck, since it can produce spirits quite easily and fuel creating even more. Besides flooding the board with access to haste enablers or something like impact tremors can quickly take over.

  • @maxbodifee3263
    @maxbodifee3263 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Mondrak and Ojer Taq are in my Atla deck with a lot of worldspine wurm/coil engine creatures so they works both with the commander and the die effect of the other creatures in my deck. Ojer is also great with sneak attack as it sticks around instead of going to the graveyard. Run it with myriad creatures like the beefy 8/6 trampler and go to town

    @heresyseed Před 7 měsíci +1

    Ojer taq , considering the grand scheme, staples in nicely into 2 of my favorite decks…
    Ratadrabik…even at 6 mana, by that stage you will almost always have a sac outlet and Rata online …
    Vishgraz… any blinking takes place with those two in play…it’s time to call the Orkin man..!😅

    Matzalantli went straight into my Tayam deck. It plays a lot of permanents, mills, can be picked with Tayam, and the colourless mana is great for activating it.
    Dracosaur and Roaming Throne easily found spots in Miirym.
    Great set!

  • @ed1cc
    @ed1cc Před 7 měsíci

    As you start moving into short form content, a tip I've seen for yt shorts specifically is to disable notifications for subs. This is because if you have a number of subs who are no longer active/don't watch shorts then it tanks your stats as it picks up on the number of subs who get the notif but don't watch. By not using notifs, it gets shown to people actively watching and exploring shorts and will likely give you better stats for the algorithm, as well as the interaction from those views from non-subs encouraging it to be shown to your subs anyway.

  • @stevenlannon1020
    @stevenlannon1020 Před 7 měsíci +2

    I'm super excited to pair Roaming Throne with The Mycotyrant. Makes tyrant bigger on ETB and doubles the amount of fungus tokens you get at the end of your turn, I'll take it!

    • @MarineS0n2
      @MarineS0n2 Před 7 měsíci

      As a note- Tyrant’s power/toughness scaling are not an ETB, it’s continuously checked based on your board. The endstep trigger is great though!

    • @stevenlannon1020
      @stevenlannon1020 Před 7 měsíci

      @@MarineS0n2 correct! Roaming throne becomes a creature type when it ETBs. So theoretically if you're playing on curve: tyrant on three, throne on four (naming fungus or saproling). This gives your tyrant an extra power/toughness as another fungus or saproling has been played.

  • @PhilOrvis

  • @Infraclear
    @Infraclear Před 7 měsíci +1

    I like Pit of Offerings in a five color deck actually. Exiling one multi-colored from a single graveyard is pretty do-able and makes this a guildgate. Hitting any three mono-colored cards makes it on par with seaside citadel. I see it as a (worse) version of Exotic Orchard.

    My favourite place for roaming throne is Ziatora as it practically acts as a quadrupler for her. Sac 2 things, fling each of their damages twice, and make 12 treasures. Not many cards for 4 mana can ramp you by 12.

    Zoyowa's justice in The War Doctor... targetting your own 1 CMC spell should net a few time counters.

  • @TapDat52K
    @TapDat52K Před 7 měsíci

    1:06:01 ---You guys hit the nail on head. The only reason why it is worth considering, is if you can cheat it onto the battlefield more easily since it is a creature, and you have a commander that can create multiple tokens per trigger. Easy to do with Black / White or Green / White.
    Also, as someone who has grown found of Elven Chorus, I will often have multiple tokens Mana dorks to cover the cost, and have cost reductions for the tribal swarm until Impact Tremors/Phosphorus kicks in for the kill

    Roaming Throne is going straight into my Volo, Guide to Monsters deck (once I find a copy of it). I might lose value by not having other triggered abilities doubled, but I feel having more copies of creatures Volo makes is worth it (eg Volo on field, cast RT and doubled from no other golems, and play any other creature like Mulldrifter - 8 cards thank you very much).

    Ojer Taq is really good in a Bernard ginger sculptor deck since when your creatures die they come back as food golem artifact creature, plus they get +2/+2 and trample. You turn 1 creature into 3 tokens. From experience, it got really out of hand really fast especially when you are either cheat it out or ramp into it.

    I think brass's Tunel Grinder is very powerfull. its a wheel on a permanent which makes it kinda busted, as it can be flickered by eg. displacer kitten, reanimated and saced by goblin whelder effects (eg. Osgir) bounced by your Interaction-Bounce spells and recast if you have to, you also don't even have to discard your whole hand and its only for you which gets around the common wheel problem of drawing opponents into interaction.

    I’m putting pit of offering in my War Dr. deck as mana fixing and another instance of exile to get those time counters and if it hates out an opponents grave that’s upside.

    I want to use Ojer Tag in exactly one deck, and that's Darien, King of Kjeldor. The fact that it only triples creatures means I don't want to use it in MOST token decks, because most of those tend to push things like Treasures or Food and this won't do anything for that. Having a third multiplier for tokens in mono white is very helpful, though.

    Something funny about Bloodletter is if it’s on the field when you trigger the vito/exquisite blood combo the damage gets doubled each time the loop starts again made me chuckle on arena when testing it out

    Couldn't agree more about Ojer Taq - you really need a way to be able to make creature tokens straight away (preferably for no mana) for it to be effective, otherwise you're just making yourself a target.

    I believe that most popular commanders with access to Blue would benefit more out of Spark Double, Irenicus's Vile Duplication, Sakashima the Impostor, and/or Sakashima of a Thousand Faces over Roaming Throne, as the effects of your Commander would not only be duplicated, but if your commander gets removed, you would still have a copy of it on the Battlefield.

    Cards that “don’t do anything when you play them” are still good most people just play them wrong like if you have end step, upkeep, or battle phase triggers, they go off immediately.

  • @Spencer4686

    I feel Bonehoard sits nicely into Gishath deck offering her more utility which is nice in big stompy dino decks the fact it's on a dino is upside for Gishath as you can flip into it from gishaths ability.
    Like all the cards you talk about in the right deck they can shine...sort of. ;)

    Also I just realised that The Myriad Pools is a cast trigger, so on cast you can turn your land into blightsteel even if the blightsteel you tried to cast got countered. That seems pretty good actually.

  • @Nomadic0ne
    @Nomadic0ne Před 7 měsíci

    I don't see enough people talking about Ojer Taq in a myriad deck with Legion Loyalty and/or Blade of Selves. Put in some creaures with great ETB effects (or just big hitters) that then get myriad, attack, create 6 tokens attacking and triggering their individual ETBs, ???, Profit!
    Add an "End turn" effect to play during the end of combat phase and you get to keep the new tokens too. ;)

    I added Roaming Throne in my artifact deck, I will name something different each time I play it, although Nercon is the most likely. I don't need to put it in a typal deck for it to be good. plus my commander, glissa, the traitor, has a triggered ability I might want to copy.

    Liked the video a lot, thanks for posting. I do have one comment though - I think you guys are really digging to find some sort of negative to Redemption Choir. I do not think it's going to be that hard to hit coven on curve.

    • @ecthelion1517
      @ecthelion1517 Před 7 měsíci

      I think it will be rare that you want to play it on curve since you need coven active AND have something in your graveyard.
      So I don't think it's bad but as Josh mentioned later it might still be a t6 ish play.

  • @linguaphile9415
    @linguaphile9415 Před 7 měsíci

    I think you would have to cheat Ojer Taq in with something like Sneak Attack, then flicker so it stays at the end of your turn. So, you would make a Boros token deck. Of course, you can also strew in some great treasure makers like Dockside to have an alternative.
    Another way I see for this card is in Selesnya token decks with enough ramp or Defense of the Heart or other decks with the new discover mechanic. I mean, at six mana it is very slow and only an enhancer, but if you find a way to get it in without casting it (reanimate comes to mind as well), this card can be wild.

    Dauntless dismantler already shuts off the treasures made with old gnawbone that turn, regardless if they have an instant or not. Food is also very popular since the LOTR precon and even clue and map tokens. Blow m up for 1 W is pretty good. Even artifacts lands. Osgir f.i. will not be happy to see this hit the board

  • @sheahon1179
    @sheahon1179 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Pit of Offerings isn’t actually that bad in your opening hand because you don’t typically have a lot of one drops. You play it turn 1 and then play your two drops on turn two and it’s just a colorless land. Not great by any means but not awful. On turns 2-5 this might be bad. Then it takes you land drop and doesn’t do much if there aren’t any good targets. But equally it will sometimes snipe really important pieces from graveyard decks. And it is a land so it has some use eventually. Not exciting but good for budget and decent for grave decks where you probably will be able to make this tap for all your colors.

  • @maxhoogendijk4788
    @maxhoogendijk4788 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Not even a segment on Thousand moons smithy? The 4 mana artifact that makes a Karnstruct++ on etb, then flips into a land the makes one ot those tokens (almost) every subsequent turn . That's my pick for best new card in the set. Followed closely by roaming throne.

    Roaming throne is so applicable if your deck is built around your commander's triggered ability, you just name the type you're commander is and profit. Like jodah the unifier naming human or wizard means double cascade.

    @valt3rnative Před 7 měsíci

    You don't want to play Bonehoard when it would be the biggest threat on the board. Also added it into my mono-red deck as a replacement for Harnfel, Horn of Bounty, since playing Harnfel often left me open to attacks, but the first time I played it, it got instantly removed. Wouldn't have happened with Harnfel, since it was a creature removal. I might prefer The Flux in most situations, since the removal part has always been useful.
