You can actually untap the creature 9 times in a turn cycle. On the last turn you can target itself twice and then another creature.

I have been brewing a budget build and here are a few considerations for other brewers. This deck is a storm deck that draws your whole deck but if you fizzle you still have 10 lands in play to storm the following turn with more resources. Flicker effects and Nadu especially 1 mana ones like essence flux are strong protection and generally good resets. Dramatic reversal lets you continue the combo and likely fine to include with or without isochron scepter. Intruder alarm combos really well with all your dorks so if you hit a patch of non-lands you can generate so much mana you can't fizzle. Umbral Mantal combos with any creature that taps for 4 or more mana so Priest of Titania, Fanatic of Rhonas, Circle of Dreams Druid all will generally work. Chatterstorm for 4 is usually mana positive while being a secondary wincon. This card is completely broken and might catch a ban purely since even budget versions of this deck can destroy casual tables.

Target removal vs Nadu is not a 1-to-1 trade. They are always neutral and in their best case go plus while you go minus for attempting healthy interaction. Non targeting removal, counter spells is your goto but the simic value pile will be filled to the brim with responses to that too.

I may have taken all my good cards from krarkashima to build this Simic Beast. Less work on my end and still fun to play.

You brushed over it, but you didn't specifically verbalize this so I feel it needs mentioning. The four mana you put into walking ballista to get the nadu trigger also puts a +1/+1 counter on WB that can then immediately be removed in order to target Nadu and get another trigger. It's a little more like having Thrasios + Training Grounds than just Thrasios. Yes you have to invest 4 mana at once, but the rate is the same Thras + TG. I also prefer the Green card in the Force of Will cycle(Bounty of the Hunt) as it is a free spell and plays better from behind than the other mass targeting spells. Which is going to be important going forward as the meta reacts to this guy. The mass targeting spells have a higher ceiling no doubt, but once you get to the point of having 5 or more creatures out with this deck, you're already in a winning spot. I just find them to be a little too much a winmore type of card. Bounty also kills Tivit in combat, a neat trick to have in your back pocket against one of the most popular decks in the format. And check how many lands people are running. So many. Enough that if you let the bird live one turn cycle and THEN kill it, the bird will almost definitely be coming back immediately. It's kill on sight for me, even added REB to most of my red decks(The ones running Pyroblast already at least), to hedge against the popularity of this bird. Love this bird

First time i saw this on the leak i already kmew its gon be broken.. not too broken due to colors but enough to be that strong

Should ban as commander but allow it to be use as one of the 99 cards.

Rending volley will finally see more play

If only Bolt was enough

Definition of a kill-on-sight commander, it’s extremely busted but the deck plays so many bad cards that do nothing without Nadu on board. Strix Serenade seems to be getting a lot of flack as a counterspell but depending on where Nadu ends up in the meta after we’ve had more time with it I think it could become a staple.

Removing Nadu from the board is often irrelevant. It has low cmc and often there are enough lands for them to recast it, thanks to its ability. I think countering its first cast, “bricking” it (e.g. via Oko type effects), stealing it, or removing/countering the enablers (Shuko, etc.) has more impact. That’s my limited experience against the deck. My 0.02…

If you do manage to targeted remove it, you still give them a card too. And if you try to remove it, they can counter it and still get the card. If they don't have a counterspell in hand, there's still a halfway decent chance they topdeck it and counter your removal.

Or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and just draw.

I often hear about combos that generate infinite mana and infinite card draw, but I'm a bit confused about how they work together. If both infinite mana and infinite card draw happen simultaneously through the same interaction, and we have a limited card pool, does that mean the mana isn't actually infinite? I understand that if we can draw our entire deck, we can find a way to generate infinite mana without decking ourselves out. However, I'm trying to understand this specific detail: If the combo provides both infinite card draw and infinite mana, but we have a limited number of cards, doesn't that mean the mana isn't truly infinite?
