Quick update, Bello only works on artifacts and enchantments with mana value 4 or greater, which I apparently didn’t say, but did show in the video, so I just wanted to clear that up here. Also me showing reclamation sage for Zinnia was silly with it not being green. I guess my brain was stuck on Riku there. Those are both my bad, and I just wanted to clarify here, I always try to be mistake free, but sometimes things happen 😂.

I can't stop thinking about how weird Offspring is flavor-wise, but also how weird Offspring works with the Legend rule. Like, imagine it. You cast an Urza, Lord Protector, and you pay the offspring cost. Suddenly, Urza gives birth to an almost identical version of himself, except he's much smaller. Urza then is forced to name the baby after himself, and then the legend rule kicks in, saying either he or the baby has to be eliminated from the fabric of reality. That's...a bit disturbing.

bello being a 3 drop that also makes them indestructible with haste and card draw makes me think this commander will be way too good for casual tables

Sol ring 💍 just got an upgrade

If you read this comment, please like it, it'll remind me to build Bello, Bard Of Brambles when I have more money and time.

Pippin is essential for the Hazel deck basically duplicates mana and forage resources. Doubling season and Chatterfang also would be great basically making an exponential army 🤤

The best thing about zinnia would be drawing baby versions of anything you play.

So hazel and chatter fang as long as I have 1 squirrel token I’m making 4 squirrel tokens every turn.

I would look at how people build Riku, who works very similarly. Doubling ETBs and naturally going wide is really powerful, turning basically every creature into a potential “cantrip” as you get that creature plus another card, plus you get “mana” equal to the difference in mana between the creature and (2).

I'm under the impression those effects usually see the creatures then are done whether power changes Not that that's at much threat of happening. If you have cards that duplicate legendary creatures you're not going to use that on zinnia. It doesn't seem like a creature can have offspring multiple times and they have no other effect that makes legendary dupe worth running for them

I'm playing the angry racoon, idc how it plays 😂

Hazel with any way making a non-legendary token will get out off hand

Honestly suqrl deck is lackluser compared to chatterfang still. Probably will gut it and put the main man at the front and the precon will be in the 99. Chatter is just 1000010% better as a commander than the new suqirl. Its more like a 99 card. Chatter is literally a token doubler AND a REMOVLE ON A STICK.

The raccoon makes me angry despite it being such a cool design. Once chishiro the shattered blade was created, i have been hoping gruul would get powerful equipment and auras support. The raccoon is the exact opposite of what i wanted, only working with non auras and non equipment. Sad. Still a cool design, but i just want justice for my snake boi
