Fun thing with Spell Queller, as well, is that if you use it to counter an overloaded spell or any spell with an alternate casting mode, they can't cast it as if it was overloaded. So if you counter Cyclonic Rift (when overloaded it's still a 2 CMC card), if they ever get rid of Queller they only get to bounce one thing.

I'm always very surprised to not see one of my favorite cards never show up on lists like these, especially when you had a dedicated removal section. Curse of the Swine! It's a sorcery for 2B and X, and it exiles X target creatures, their controllers put a 2/2 boar token for each creature exiled this way. It's essentially reality shift, with none of the downside risk (Which was already honestly minimal, at it's worst it drew them a card, they still had to pay full cost for the manifested creature if they wanted to play it), but with the massive upside of exiled a ton of stuff at once! Frankly, this is commonly a one sided, exiling board wipe. Sure, it's at sorcery speed, and that's significant, but goddamn, is it worth it!

@scottdusenbery2278

4 жыл бұрын

I agree, Curse of Swine is ridiculous and I love it. I run it in my Naban Deck and it's just so good. It can be used as a 3 cost exile any creature, or as a pretty effective board wipe except it exiles in blue. It's not as great against token/sacrifice decks but it's amazing against tribal. I completely shut down an Arabo deck using it. And it's so cheap, it's like 50 cents to a dollar. I think too many people look at the 2/2 body it gives them and shies away from it but it's like "I will gladly give you a 2/2 pig in exchange for Ulamog and the certainty that he is not coming back."

All your opponent needs to do is play a reclamation sage and you are done. I ussually play Oblivion Stone over it. If anything Perilious Vault is a card more people should consider. It isn't as fast but it can deal with anything! Soul of New Phyrexia, Avacyn, Darksteel Forge or a simple Heroic Intervention. All of those are cards people often play to dodge board wipes and Vault gives you a colloress way to bypass them all. Only card that it is weak against is Teferi's Protection. It is also great against all graveyard based generals such as Athreos, Muldrotha, Daretti, Meren. Just play Perilous Vault and your mono green has both a great board clear and graveyard hate!

Mask of Memory and Rogue's Gloves can draw a lot of cards, if your deck plays small creatures with evasion, like in an Edric, Oona or Yuriko deck.

There are two lands I like in any mono colored or even dual colored decks: Scavenger grounds for graveyard protection and Nephalia Academy for wrath protection. The second one is probably my biggest not enough people play this card. Often times you'll have great cards in hand and then someone windfalls or wheels and you have to discard them. with nephalia academy, you can pick the ones you want to keep since its a replacement effect vs a triggered ability.

I've got a few: Sundial of the Infinite Anything weird happens during your turn...I'm just going to erase that. It also circumvents effects that force you to sac things at the end of combat / at the end of turn leaving you with extra tokens or possibly preventing harmful triggers. I had a weird Jhoira of the Ghitu deck that relied on the RR "Take an extra turn, then lose game at the end of the second turn." cards just to remove time counters from my suspended cards (think Time Walk). My Merieke Ri Berit deck prevented the delayed trigger from Merieke untapping from resolving, letting me keep stolen creatures and have her untapped as a threat. My Gruul used it as a counterspell/fog effect if something went wrong with my attacks. In a pinch an instant-heavy deck can get out of a pact with it, leaving all lands untapped even if you don't get to play your turn. With Vedalken Orrery it doesn't even matter. It's a really weird effect, like repeatable Disallow with Split Second but only during your turn. Utopia Sprawl Hands down best ramp permanent in green. Play T1, T2 you're set to cast a CMC 3 spell OR play some other 1-drop T1, play Utopia Sprawl T2 and you've got fixed mana for CMC 2 and the 1-drop you cast earlier. The good thing is that it's really fast and fixes colors as well as more mana. Would I play this over a Rampant Growth or Sakura Tribe Elder? In two colours, yes. More than that and it becomes unreliable unless you specifically tailor for it...but then you can use all the other cards that refer to Forests specifically. Managorger Hydra / Taurean Mauler / any spell that says "whenever a player casts a spell" You have no idea how many spells people cast. Taurean Mauler has the added benefit of fitting into tribal decks because it's a shapeshifter. These things get out of hand really quickly and it doesn't matter if they don't stay around for long; CMC 3 is a pretty cheap price to pay for something that will definitely draw out a removal spell. Pariah This hard combos easily with things like Stuffy Doll, Phytohydra, Vigor etc. It passively combos with things that are indestructible, like Darksteel Mutated creatures or your Commander if you have Bastion Protector in play. That set aside it's a removal/stall spell. Slap it on an opponent's creature and suddenly they don't feel like attacking you anymore. Or you can slap it on an opponent's creature and tell your friend to attack you in order to get rid of it. People usually want to save their valuable creature and try to somehow protect it instead of getting rid of it by attacking you (essentially the creature dealing damage to itself) - which wastes a lot of valuable time or cards for them. Spirit Link Pseudo-lifelink that can target your opponents' creatures, too. Spirit Loop is already quite good because it returns to your hand but Spirit Link is even better because you can make your opponents think twice what to do with a big creature they're about to swing with: to you it's either free life or they achieve absolutely nothing (unless you have so little health that you die to the damage instantly because it's a triggered effect). Elixir of Immortality Anti-mill and 5 life is nothing to scoff at. Really specific, wouldn't play unless my decks had a tendency to mill themselves or the meta played a lot of mill. O-Naginata Who doesn't want +3/+0 and trample on their creature? O-Naginata, Rancor, Kessig Wolf Run and Skarrg, the Rage Pits (and Rogue's Passage for unblockable) are my favourite ways of giving my Big Dumb Hitter some trample.

Pir's Whim is very underrated imo.

Hunting Grounds is an insane card that I've never seen in someone else's deck

I love aid from the cowl in the kaladesh block. I want it in every deck playing green. It is not a do-nothing enchantment when you set up for it. I abused this card to set up powerful off the top plates that have changed the way a game has gone. This is as easy as cracking and evolving Wilds or a panorama or a Sakura tribe Elder. You can do some scrying if you like the top a little bit for better results or have cards that sends things straight to the top off your deck and you can sheet unbelievable amounts of value in.

Spell Queller functions the same as Fiend Hunter (2 separate clauses) which means if you do something to it (eg. return it to hand) in response to its own ETB trigger, it just exiles the spell forever. Makes for very nice combos with a card like Temur Sabre Tooth to counter spells without actually using any cards.

My fitness routine: DRINK WATER Every weekday, do a small 15-minute HIIT workout after work (plenty of charts on Google images for that). Saturdays, go for a 30 minute jog/walk with an audio book or new music. OR Do a recreational event with friends (hiking, snowboarding, whatever). Sundays, only stretch or do yoga, relax. DRINK WATER In tandem, I keep track of my calories and nutrients with an app (fitbit or Lose-it is fine). You'll get used to what you can/can't eat. Have a cheat day once a week. Cut unnatural sugars and eat only little breads. DRINK WATER Biggest deal: Be generally healthy in body and mind. But also feel good because of what you did, as it will tell your body it is what it needs to do.

from my personal experience Ghoulcaller Gisa Demon cards in general (save rune scarred demon) the use of landfall... anything Slivers (just made a sliver deck, it's amazing)

I found Conqueror’s Flail to be really useful. Play stuff with peace of mind

Sometimes I have tried a card in a deck and it didnt work. But I dont just rule it out as a bad card. I try it in another deck. Perplexing chimera is one of those cards. Found a great home in estrid. I love blinking it back into play under my control.

Price of fame is good commander removal All basic landcycling cards from c16 And while not really underplayed, literally every card that says "draw x"

No shoutouts to Contamination?! This enchantment is back breaking!

I have 2 personal favorite cards, one of which is Rishkar's Expertise that you've talked about a lot. The other favorite is Aetherspouts. Its a 5-mana instant that tucks all attacking creatures target player controls. Its something out of left field and has saved me more than once. :D

Another card that Stolen Strategy reminds me of is Thief of Sanity. In 4 player, you’re getting an automatic 3 cards to choose from unlike Thief and having sort of 3 extra cards to cast each turn is so powerful! Great episode guys as always.

Just thought about it, I'm actually building a zedruu deck and looking around for ideas. If you give experimental Frenzy to a blue control deck or actually anything not red. Makes their hand size effectively one card but gives each spell "draw a card". I would say it will be a bad deal for the control player most of the time. They usually have draw spells anways.

Ironically, I was working on adding Calming Verse into several of my decks while I put this video on. I have several times in the past said "I wish there was a vandalblast for enchantments" and then discovered the card while scrolling through my old cards and decided I'm going to try it in like 8 of my decks to see how I like it (I have 35 atm so I usually make a change in several to see how I like something)

Experimental Frenzy might be the favorite card you talked about in this episode. I run it in my Purphoros deck, and it really does work. Always scary to think about being land flooded after you play this, though...

Seriously under rated card right here. Edict effect, gets around indestructible, hex proof, ect.

I feel so validated seeing so many of my pet cards on here. A note on Spelltwine: if your deck cares about cast triggers, Spelltwine is a 3 for one. In my Noyan Dar deck, I get three animate triggers, pumping up my land +9/+9, plus the effects of two spells. It can be a beating. Been playing Wayfarer’s Bauble in all my non green decks for quite a while now. And Reality Shift has been in all my blue decks for years. It has never manifested anything of worth. Not once.

This video came just at the right time for me cause I just built a Toshiro Umezawa deck and there are so many cards that are featured in this video. Wayfarer Bauble, tainted strike, hatred, victory chimes, solemn simulacrum, burnished hart... This video came just at the right time for me. Great episode as always.

Stubborn denial is great and only $1

My new favorite card in Alesha is "Gift of Immortality". The deck runs a lot of etb effects, and with a sac outlet like Viscera Seer, Gift guarantees triggers not only on my turn, but each of my opponent's turns. I also find it useful as just something to protect a creature I care about. I think you'd need a deck that wants to recur creatures already for it to be good. But that's a card that's been sitting in my rare binder for years, and I'm happy to be finally using it.

I put forward my "nobody plays it but everyone should" card - Abundance. As long as you have it, you _will not_ get mana flooded or screwed. You can choose to get a land or nonland for each card you would've drawn. Additionally, it is card draw _replacement_ which means you can avoid triggering Consecrated Sphinx or even avoid losing the game to drawing from an empty library. It's also quite cheap, at 50 cents for the two pre-con printings and $2 for the Urza's or Tenth. (Though be warned if you're gunning for bling, as the only foil printing is in Tenth and is $33) Another big point I love about stealing cards from your opponents (Dire Fleet Daredevil, Etali, Stolen Strategy, Gonti, Praetor's Grasp, Thada Adel, etc) is not only do you gain value in the form of new cards, but also that your opponents are losing potentially valuable parts of their decks or combos. And for the "play more lands more easily in colors other than Green" I'd say Gem of Becoming is really good, even if you're only in two of the three colors it tutors. It'll pull up even nonbasics to your hand, so you can ensure you won't miss land drops while pulling lands out of your deck for later.

Loving this list. Mainly because alot of these cards I play due to their utility. Necrologia is in with the new font of agony, as well as sitting in my Yuriko deck so I can get what I need to win. Hostage taker/Gonti is sitting in my Scarab God deck. All the extra ETB effects are just great. Spelltwine has actually won me the game a few times in my Jhoira/Niv/Locust God deck, counter someone's expropriate, then the following turn, since I'm looking at 6-8 Mana anyways, use spelltwine with a thousand year storm on the board + reverberate/twincast effects and get copies of expropriate. Very fun stuff. Stolen strategy is on the "paradox engine good" list imo. Mainly because when you play it, you quickly become the target of everyone's hate if they don't have immediate removal for it lol Another good "forgetable" is head games makes an IMMEDIATE enemy, however it cripples that Johnny Combo in your group. It and awaken the erstwhile are pretty solid cards, awaken + a flashback dread return on a massacre wurm = nets a huge swing on your opponents life totals... especially if it happens to be in a Teysa Karlov deck that doubles the death triggers on the wurm. >:) P.S. Tell Jimmy if he wants a good Boros commander list, I have an Archangel Avacyn list I'll send him. :)

Victory chimes is an underrated pet card of mine. I have it in my Ayli deck, where often times i need to keep open exactly one mana for each of my opponent's turn. Instead of losing three colored mana for my turn, i can just have victory chimes which untaps itself

The best play I've had with gonti was after my opponent tutored cyclonic rift to the top of his deck with the liliana plainswalker, using someone else's rift against them was the best moment I've ever had in magic. Another underrated hidden aspect of gonti is putting peoples lands on the bottom of their library and then watching them miss land drops.

For decks that use their graveyard a lot, Bottomless Pit (each player discards randomly each upkeep) and Null Brooch (2,t,discard your hand to counter noncreature spell) are good defense vs control/combo opponents.

Keto diet and calisthenics. Once you understand it, it's basically effortless.

@snakeman830

5 жыл бұрын

Not entirely true. A lot of it depends on exactly what you are getting rid of. For example, nailing an opposing counterspell is effectively getting a free 2/3 flyer on your Cancel. Exiling a Toxic Deluge is even worse for the caster than an outright counter, as additional costs have to be paid each time. For that matter, exiling a board wipe will effectively be total counter much of the time; what's the point of board wiping right after one has already resolved?

@fadianwickstrom5970

snakeman830 True that there are situations where a queller is basically free value but you still can't counter some of the most impactful stuff in the format. No extra turn spells or board wipes bigger than 4 is still a pretty big drawback. Additionally this turns all your opponents kill spells into counter magic. Imagine playing this to get kid of that crucial wrath of god and then watching them swords you queller right as you'r about to attack

Exactly what I thought. Unless you have some major synergies with spirits, ETB-triggers or creatures in general (which most decks don't), most normal counterspells are a lot better.

Question- does Spell Queller get around “can’t be countered?” I mean- it says exile, not counter

I've got this Toshiro Umezawa deck and it's one of the most fun things I've ever played. It wins by recurring a Gray Merchant over and over. Which isn't the most creative way to do it, but the way it continually sacs and recurs the gray merchant is 100% through casting instants. Like Costly Plunder and Altar's Reap to sac it, and then getting it back with things like Makeshift Mannequin. There's also so many fun black instants that people just don't see coming, but countering a spell with Imp's Misschief is amazing, especially when you can do it twice.

A few thoughts: Hostage Taker: It's great in sac decks, too. Steal someone's flyer or unblockable or other annoying creature, then sac it for your benefit. Phyrexian Revoker: cast it and name Chromatic Lantern or Sol Ring or Phyrexian Altar... See how fast your opponents kill your Revoker.... Toshiro Umezawa: It's into the graveyard from anywhere, so great if someone is playing a self-mill deck
