@@floridaman633 I don't think she's cedh, 3 different pips means she's hard to drop on 2, so you have to drop her on 3 and attack on 4, and the effects you want to proc are not that good if you aren't getting them immediately and duplicated/can guarantee you will even get them once (like the courts) It can be decently high power imho, I've had games of dropping her relatively early and doing things like dropping some courts (like the black one that makes you discard, or the red one that does 7 damage) and do quite strong things but I haven't played a ton of games Edit: smells like upkeep in here is a much better name, can't believe I went with what I did

Another BIG upside for Imperial Recruiter in some decks: find Kitten. Cast some noncreature spell, blink Recruiter for Dockside, then go nuts! Imperial Recruiter is essentially an A+B, then.

This seems correct. I think the biggest draw to playing mono or two color red decks is the strength of some of the commanders. Magda and Godo are still powerful magic cards with great strategies, and to a lesser extent so are Birgi and Urabrask. In R/X colors you have Etali, Krark/Sak, ObNix, etc, where your lack of card depth is made up for by the absurd strength of your command zone. I think the only 2 additions I might have made to this list are Heat Shimmer (since it can copy opposing things like Dockside, Ranger Captain, and so on) and Tibalt's Trickery, which has been WAY better for me than I thought it would be.

I only play Final Fortune in Krarkashima and that goes without saying.

I like how you asses cards and use it in my own way of seeing if there's a card I want to try playing, I feel like bolt hitting bow masters might be kind of over looked here, but totally.

Nice Kennywood shirt cam! That's the best park ever!

The Kennywood sweater is awesome! I havent been there since I was little.

Wheel has frequently started to demand answers from my opponents when it is also paired with Bowmasters- it is pressuring out options from a lot of folks, and sometimes ends up killing opponents, or removing entire swathes of the board to set up wins. It can give my opponents full grips, to be sure, but the incidental value ends up pretty big. I like the rating the card got, but I thinks its relevance under Bowmaster- my own (and my opponents') is an interesting vector.

I love this channel, you guys got me into cEDH

Ragavan getting worse because of bowmaster is such a universal constant throughout all formats which is pretty funny

I was guessing what number you guys would agree on every card and it was so fun 😂 also, Cam’s Fire Emblem comparison to Gamble was so spot on.

Once you finish the 5 color you should do the ranking considering the top 5 of each list

my kenrith deck does not use deflecting swat and fierce guardianship. i use mindbreak trap and stick mostly on permanents as in cedh, most of the interaction are instant and sorcery..

We need a video at the end of the series that ranks all the 5s from every color against each other.

"Dockside goes infinite with a ham sandwich" great line read from Cam there

Deflecting swat isn’t played in Ikra Dargo because usually when you’d need a deflecting swat you just sacced Dargo and Ikra doesn’t hit the field

dylan wearing a berserk shirt during best red cards in cEDH is a flavor win

Oooh nice Berkman shirt

Nice fire emblem insert love that game

Does Deflecting Swatting a Peer into The Abyss really function so that you can redirect the draw to yourself but the original caster still loses half their life? PITA is worded so that target player draws the cards and loses the life, so wouldn't the swatter in this case draw the cards and also lose the life?

@PlaytoWinMTG

We were wrong about this, the drawer loses the life

Another huge difference between Rite of Flames and Simian Spirit Guide is needing to commit a mana, potentially of any color, into RR instead of RX. Additionally, you can monkey blast while tapped out!

Dylan rockin the Guts shirt. Based

I have a cEDH prosper deck, and i feel my logic would apply the same to an Ob nixilis deck. I prefer rite of flame to simian spirit guide in those two specific decks, because you can't exile simian spirit guide from exile, only your hand

I would rank Pyroblast a bit higher than Red Elemental Blast.
