Bounce lands can get your commander out of the moon….Grixis, here’s looking at you 😉

If you guys havnt talked about it some pretty cool budget bombs: Dragons rage channeler: in edh? 1 mana+surveil is insane in non combo artifact decks. The evasion lets it swing over people and the surveil works great at filtering draw while playing artifacts. Prowling geist catcher: how is this card bulk? Its really strong in any deck that runs sac outlets. Goes infinite with a ham sandwich for combo spikes (karmic guide, kikijiki, revilark) and for less combo spikes, lets you flicker your board of many enter the battlefield creatures, while having a "leavr the battlefield clause" which lets you ephemerate effects the card or makes it uncounterable to exile effects.

Witch of the Moors is a bomb in Ayara for sure... Sheoldred Jr except in Ayara it might as well be Sheoldred.

Witch is better, 5cmc is good rate, shreold just cost too damn much

I built a deck about 4 years ago with Momir Vig as my commander. I had Master Biomancer in the deck and regularly had creatures entering the battlefield with millions of counters on them. Very fun card indeed.

I have an Osgir deck that I absolutely HAD to get the foil version of Reckless Fireweaver in foil for, even though it's 10 dollars. The foil version just hits different

I remember passing on witch of the moors in a budget deck because it used to be pricier(around $5 or so), but I'm glad to know that it's gone under $1. But I also like theiving amalgam in my Satoru Umezawa deck since he's best used for getting high cmc creatures out easily and the deck also has a card stealing sub-theme. I think the amalgam's 2nd half effect is pretty decent as long as you can reliably keep stealing opponents' creatures with recurring etb effects on agent of treachery or sepulchral primordial. I also have volcanic torrent already going right into my spellslinger copy deck I don't know why rampant rejuvenator is still cheap right now because that card is absolutely staple ramp potential in any deck that uses green, especially since green gives out +1/+1 counters like candy on halloween Dude, I didn't know Xenagos was budget now either. Last time I looked at him a couple years ago he was around $6-7

Escape to the Wilds is a pet card i jam into anything with gruul colors. It warms my heart to hear Wild Growth getting so much love.

Took me a second to get the joke about Lowes and Home Depot. 😂

"My last commander turned into the moon." "That's rough, buddy."

I played mosswort bridge for the first time after buying it because i was curious. I got an infinite mana source and was able to flash it in so it didn’t have summoning sickness and it was instantly my favorite new card

I just found this channel and fell in love with it y’all are awesome

Volcanic Torrent is definitely finding a place in my Krark deck. That's amazing.

Great episode! Imprisoned in the Moon is taking off. I'm telling people they gotta start running bouncelands again; it's secret tech! I also recommend Master Biomancer in Volo decks, even though it won't get copied; it's just good value.

25:09 Special guest joins in the bottom right of the video, to make up for the lack of Cat Tribal in this video.

New videoooooooo!!!!!! Always excited for these

Lae'zel also doesn't specify that it needs to be an effect like on doubling season, so when you tick up a planeswalkers loyalty it still applies. A thing 90% of the people I've seen use doubling season don't realize is that a loyalty ability adding counters is a cost, not an effect, so doubling season doesn't apply to it.

Good call on Volcanic Torrent. I run that in a Jhoira Storm deck. So far, my record is 27 damage.

Feels like this list is a tribute to Cherries' Faldorn deck. Hope we get to see it in action on Shuffle Scuffle soon!

I thoroughly enjoy imprisoning commanders on the moon, especially in my Tameshi deck and when they get rid of the enchantment I like to say, ''That wizard came from the moon'' LOL :P

As far as the Volcanic Torrent, I myself was kinda put off by the 5 mana value but I didn't really factor in the cascade value. Definitely going to try it out now

I love Witch of the Moors in my Gyome deck, it does some work.

Had to grab Escape to the Wilds, a cool 19 cents. It’s nice to have a burst of card advantage that isn’t boardstate dependent in those colors.

One time somebody wheeled with Notion Thief on the field. I was the only one with 4 cards exiled with a removal spell. Won that game. Next time pay more attention, besides asking “how many cards in hand?”. Great spell!

Whooo Volcanic Torrent. That’s one of those cards I adore but never see in other decks at the table. Also notably for Volcanic Torrent X=3 it just requires one thing before it and the thing you cascade into being worth casting (I have had a sad time or two of hitting a like deflecting swat).

I love mosswort bridge in my yarok deck! Double hideaway triggers or more with spark double or one of the sakashimas. You can cast all the cards under it with one activation too! I confirmed this with judges

Wonder is so good in Araumi. Mill it to the yard, and now all your Encore creatures have flying!

It's interesting to watch you write off Xenagos' Ulti like that, because he's generating mana vs. affecting opponents in any way he's easy to forget about and I'm regularly able to Ult him and drop 3+ fat creatures off the top of my deck for free. It's relevant, he has almost no down side

I have reckless fireweaver in my Jolene Treasure Tribal deck and it is insane value.

I've got Thieving Amalgam near the top end of my Myrkul deck. Funny thing is, Myrkul doesn't care if you owned the creature when it dies in order for you to exile it and make an enchantment copy

Imprison is still better than all of those, by the virtue that it turns the creature into a hard-to-remove permanent type. The other 3 are all fairly easy for the controller to get rid of, while Imprison can shut down a commander for 4+ turns easily.

wow! i wanted a witch of the moors for dina, but it was too expensive at $4 before. thanks

Witch of the Moors is a weird card, I definitely wouldn't say it's better than Sheoldred, but in the right deck it certainly is. I remember when it first came out, it cost enough that I just couldn't justify it, especially as I was trimming out life gain from the deck that would want the effect the most. It might be worth a look in a deck that can gain life more consistently, it's a strong effect obviously. Thieving Amalgam IIRC is bad card draw too. You can flip those Manifests according to Gatherer, especially if your deck can make off-colour mana, you get something better and it's still going to have the drain on death.

I really like remorseful cleric with quintorius and if we ever get more lore hold. I'm doing that with Tiana/quintorius. Graveyard LTB

Wonder is in my sefris selfmill deck very nice card 👍

Lae-Zel is on deck in my Torens deck.... it's just so hard to slot in and i don't want to willy-nilly it. I have so much counter synergy it's going to take some time... and that's why I think it's so low right now. There are a ton of competing creatures(and non-creatures) in that slot.

reckless fireweaver in my jolene deck is an allstar, nothing like pumping out 20 treasures and 20 dmg lol
