- The Titans were a cycle of Creatures in the 2011 Core set. Each color got one of these cards, and they each had an ability that triggered whenever they entered the battlefield or attacked that was based off of what the color was known for doing. So today, we’re going to go over the best cards with Titan-like abilities, as in they trigger when they enter the battlefield or attack, including the original Titans themselves

(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.)
If there were no bans, Uro, Oko and 4-color Omnath would be on the same standard format BTW.
Oh god, I can already feel a migraine control on.
That makes a lot of sense actually. If you're playtesting those cards against each other they would look fine, since they are about the same power level. When you introduce them to a game with none of that power tho...
And modern, and pioneer
Tbf omnath without fetchlands sounds much more bearable.
Don't use blue and white please.
I don’t even play Magic but these videos are super interesting
Same for me, but for his yu-gi-oh videos on his other channel. I was absolutely giddy, when he announced he begin making videos for mtg
His takes on a lot of Magic Cards honestly aren't great. He has a habit of saying a card is bad because it doesn't currently see play in Legacy or Modern even if that card was format warping in Standard or was considered quite good at the time of its release. Magic has lots of formats and it seems weird to only take one or two of them into consideration when judging a card.
@@kevinb.2595 i feel like it makes sense to talk about current play for these kinds of cards since his main focus seems to be on providing info for newcomers, but yeah, its not the best approach when it comes to appreciating the entire history of magic. i feel like nizzahon magic's "total format points" system better puts into perspective how dominating a card was in its time while it was in rotation
@@starduststriker8792 think you slightly missed the point, it's the opposite of what you think, he's saying legacy and modern are all that's being considered, those are eternal formats. The newer formats new people come to most often are standard and commander, and more and more the newest big eternal format, pioneer (which he does mention now and then)
@@kevinb.2595 In all fairness, he's not the one writing the scripts for these since he doesn't really play MtG.
3:09 Huntmaster (and other werewolves) are good with Winota because she triggers when non-humans attack and gets humans. When not on the field werewolv cards are always Human Werewolf creatures, but when it's night they're just Werewolf creatures (i.e. they trigger Winota as non-humans).
These videos made me take a break from ygo and pick up MTG. Really fun
Be careful with that wallet friend, it's dangerous out here 🤠
Idea for a future video: "Top Keywords" to "Top Keywords that only appeared in one set".
Would let you talk more about keywords and some less well known sets.
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Another thing to mention with Sun Titan is that it goes infinite with 2 copies of Saheeli Rai. This has been relevant in Vintage Oath decks, since as long as you milled at least 2 saheelis when you Oath into Sun Titan, you can go infinite right there.
Future Video idea: All the different land unique land cycles, like the Ice Age Depletion lands or the Scrylands from Threos, barring the usual Fetch Lands, and of course starting with the famous Dual Lands that kinda started it all.
It's funny seeing the "internal banlist" idea going into effect in this channel as well as the YGO one
Nice to see my namesake so high, such a fun card to play!
I legit thought you were talking about 6/6's for 6 with the same ETB and attack effect.
There aren't any outside the original Titans
What about a top ten of"best non blue counter/drawing spells in Mtg?
Amazing!!!!
the innistrad midnight hunt cards are still in standard
We all love inferno titan, but he just looks silly when fury exists 😢
Ty I am entertained.
How about top 10 spells that cost just one mana, and give an until-end-of-turn buff, such as Giant Growth?
Hi, Winona, Joiner of Forces card is actually let you look the top six cards not seven.
Poor Gravetitan, I love him so much :(
I'm trying to think what the best comparison in YuGiOh is for Uro, at least in terms of impact. The sheer amount of warping it did to multiple formats was ridiculous. Maybe something like Ash Blossom?
Lol, I was actually able to make it to Mythic Rank in Historic using only a BG Fynn pseudo-infect deck because it matched up pretty well vs. a turn 3 Uro. Then Uro got banned, Jund Sacrifice took over, and Fynnfect proceeded to die a painful, cat-pie-flavored death.
Interesting how for Archon you named Transmogify as a way to cheat it instead of Indomitable Creativity. Maybe it's just the meta at my LGS, but I have never seen Transmogify ever (didn't even know it existed until this video, which might be the point) but have seen Archon cheated out via Creativity every time I face a Creativity deck. Not a bad thing, just something I thought was interesting.
cuz transmogrify exiles and creativity destroys

That's some good soup
I feel like Korvold should be higher, simply based on its presence in commander. Either way, love the list!
Top 10 decks that look bad, but are really good
Top 10 Crabs and Crablike Creatures. The future belongs to crab
#1 - Ruin Crab, 1 U for a 0/4 crab creature with landfall - each opponent mills 3 cards. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a great card in mill decks for both multiplayer and 1v1 situations.
sun titan + infinite reflection + mana dorks = GG
How does the Arbor Elf / Utopia Sprawl make 4 Mana on turn 2 ? I don't get it
If you cast one land and Arbor Elf on the first turn, on the second turn you can cast Utopia for one mana, enchant a land, untap the land you tapped for utopia with Arbor, and that makes you 1 Forest and one Enchanted forest, so 3 mana
The only way I can see this work would be to cast both cards on turn one, but I don't see how this is possible as Arbor Elf doesn't have Haste to allow to untap the land to cast Utopia...
You cast Sprawl on an untapped forest. Then you tap sprawl for 2, untap it with Elf, and tap it again.
Right, how did I not think of tapping the same enchanted land twice...
Thanks a lot !
I can't believe that Soul of Windgrace didn't make the list :(
Top 10 any weird and underrated tribal decks no clerics or merfolk allowed
@@zebra8961 My husband loves clerics and was very happy to see some cleric tribal love.
Interesting topic. And a good episode to retire Uro and Kroxa, they are good and really similar.
rave titan shoutouts
How about a personal list of things you'd like to see MtG and YGO do that the other doesn't.
>not mentioning my homie B O O M S T A C K E R
1) polar kraken
!!!!
Best competitive commanders (cedh)?
💎🌈🙏🌀💙
Fun fact, Prime Time is banned in Commander but Uro is not.
That's because prime titan is better than uro, at least in commander
The Witch's Oven + Cat combo is so messed up. You cook the cat, then you feed the cat to the next cat, then you repeat that.
In modern archon is the mainstay in the best deck. They cheat it with indomitable creativity better than transmogrify.
the Y in transmogrify is pronounced like fly.
Does anyone here know a good place to play magic online? Trying to get back into playing again.

Why no grave titan?
Are you Hirumaredx?
4:42 It’s pronounced SUUUUN TIITAAAAAAAAAN
I feel like primeval tinan should have been number one.
Hey, I need to point out, I've been noticing a lot of typos in your MTG videos. I'm not sure who's editing the videos, if its you or someone else, but you should probably review the videos an additional time.
10:27
It's pronounced "trens-moh-greh-faih."
Trans-mog-re-fie
The Top X Best and Worst Planeswalkers/out of the subset of ones WITHOUT ultimate activatable abilities. Bad title though
As for the two other titans in the cycle,
Frost Titan is clearly the worst of the five. Tapping and freezing (making permanents unable to be tapped) aren't that impressive and it only has a proto-Ward ability. The only format it thrives in is in Duel Commander, essentially 1v1 commander, which is slow and non-hectic enough for Frost Titan to be an include there.
Grave Titan's zombie making ability seems to be more of a commander goodness compared to the others. That and Archon of Cruelty overthrows it.
Honestly, Grave Titan has historically been pretty good. It's colors make it naturally suited for reanimator, and it's a pretty strong in a lot of the situations reanimator is typically weak. It's 6 mana, which sits on the threshold of being castable normally, which means you're not completely out of options if someone is going heavy on graveyard hate. It also goes wide pretty quickly, which means you're fairly well insulated against the spot removal that can shut down reanimator. It's starting to fall by the wayside with the printing of cards like Archon of Cruelty, but it had a good run prior.
@@fwg1994 interesting to know.
Yeah, Reanimate depicts Grave Titan, so that card's good.
I'm surprised Grave Titan wasn't on the list. If I had to rank the five original titans from worst to best in a vacuum, Grave Titan would be second place. I guess Archon of Cruelty usurped it in all relevant categories. RIP Grave Titan.
@@chrisnesja9245 true. But I'm sure Grave Titan sees a lot of usage in Commander. Just making creatures is already a great value.
@@chrisnesja9245 I think it ranks third for me. Prime Time is at the top, as the card has some very powerful payoffs, trample is the most relevant static ability on a titan, and is in the color that most easily casts 6 drops. Then Sun Titan, as there's just so many busted ways to abuse it. Black Lotus, and its many imitators can be returned by it, making it somewhat reasonable to lotus, titan return lotus for an effectively free titan. You can strip lock with a sun titan too. All the enchantments that reanimate a creature are 3 or less cmc. There's a whole bunch of removal spells that are hits with Sun Titan. If you're in a format where Oko is still legal, and your opponent somehow manages to kill Oko, Sun Titan brings it back for round 2. Sun Titan is easily the strongest titan in best case scenario, though getting good cards in your graveyard is a larger ask than Prime Time just asking that you put good cards in your deck. After that comes Grave Titan as an army in a can that also goes tall.
Why isn't this just called ETB's?
Top 10 silver card mechanics that aren't legal
Glint-Sleeve Siphoner has no business being on the list at all. Not Titan-like in size, flavor, impact on the game, there are hundred and hundreds of cards small creatures with attack-trigger effects that are about as impactful.
Usually your script-writers do a good job on finding relevant stuff, but this was a miss. If they're familiar with the game, they would know that nobody would ever call Siphoner (or Trespasser) for that matter, Titan-like.
A Titan-like creature is probably 6CC with an attack trigger that, if it happens a couple of times, probably builds an insurmountable advantage or wins the game. Drawing a card or removing a couple cards from the graveyard isn't that. Still generally enjoy the videos.
I mean, I feel like he was reasonably clear at the start that "Titan like" in this case meant "Whenever X ETBs or Attacks do Y." You can disagree with that choice of definition, but Glint-Sleeve does, in fact, have that text on it so based on the definition used it slots in as well as the other couple of "smaller" choices on the list.
By the definition he set in the beginning, yes, Glint-Sleeve is absolutely a titanlike creature. Your definition isn't even consistent with most of the other cards on the list, as most of them are much less than 8 mana
i love how you butcher the pronunciation of so many cards, you play WoW you should know how to say Transmogrify correctly
