Good video! A few thoughts: Still no love for Drannith Magistrate? Unless I missed it. No real mention of taxing effects like Thorn of Amethyst, Thalia, Sphere of Resistance, Trinisphere, etc. Karn the Great Creator can get cards back from exile as well, not just "wishboards". My favorite underrated hate card is Energy Flux (and its creature form Kataki, War's Wage). They're excellent if you aren't heavy on artifacts. I know a 30 minute video can't cover everything, though. Cheers.

I like when you say 'it is better to focus on what you are doing rather than try and stop what others are doing in general' ... I need my buddies who run like a dozen board wipes in their decks haha...

Hi guys, Congrats on 10k! I thought that it was interesting (and please take this as constructive criticism cos I care) that you dismissed Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety et al as "traps" that you shouldn't play, as you play near CEDH level. Of course, most people dont, and play creature heavy/focused decks. Yes, combo decks are also prevalent at lower power levels (I know, I have a mixture of decks that are combo or creature oriented) but it seemed to me to be a mistake to dismiss an entire branch of cards, just because they dont work in your meta, whereas for a lot of people they could be a powerhouse. Cards like GP and SoS can literally shut down decks, thereby giving me the time to set of MY combos. 😁 Anyway, my Tuvasa Enchantress deck plays a lot of pillowfort and hate cards. A few of the cards in there that you didnt mention include: CHOKE (absolutely brutal against blue decks) Aura of Silence Solemnity Wheel of Sun and Moon Now, I know that a lot of people wont agree with this, but I think cards like Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe are ACTUALLY hate cards, with a fantastic ability tacked on. What I mean is this; these cards are actually a way of forcing (if they play it properly) other players to tap mana to prevent the card ability triggering (a tax if you will) thereby reducing the mana and weakening their play. This is why players literally hate "paying" the 1/2/3/4, cos it not only buggers up their turn but accelerates yours... Anyway, this was a brilliant choice of video for me, as I'm just brewing a Yarsharn, Implacable Earth HateBOAR deck! (I'll get my coat...)

Also we LOVE aura of silence but wanted to give love to cards we don't usually talk about for this one

As a Daretti player I love Karn, Great Creator and really wouldn't want a wish board getting him banned from EDH (the -2 ability is my out to Rest In Peace and +1 makes Lattice a 6/6!). Would love to see another stax video as i think it's a criminally underappreciated aspect of EDH that should be embraced way more than it is when it comes to deck brewing and threat assessing. If people don't make decks that have a way out of stax pieces (excluding hard locks like Stasis) and choose to sit down with a stax player then it's on them to upgrade their decks rather than complain that there deck has been hosed out of the game.

@@NitpickingNerds Cards are exiled quite frequently in a game of EDH.. one bojuka bog for example. Nonetheless i am simply noting that ability is a bit better than most give credit.

Cleansing Nova has been MVP in my commander deck. It's so versatile in so many situations and gains some political points if I single-handedly stop the guy who's so far ahead.

I know this deck released after the video, but karn the great creator is really solid in osgir. The worst case scenario is you get back a mana rock or artifact land to make more copies

Ghostly Prison has helped me quite a bit. It deters people from attacking me so they can preserve their mana in the early game and makes it far more difficult for them to run me over with 5+ beaters or infinite tokens in the late game. Definitely worth it.

Which you can leverage into advantage as the game goes on. Ghostly Prison gives you time to play your deck exactly because people don't want to pay if they can attack someone else for free. Your meta might be about stopping more combo's than combat, but attacking should not be completely discarded as a way to win the game, every 2/2 you can discourage to attack you, means they need to spend 2 more mana on a lethal Exsanguinate or other stumbled upon late game wincon. It's made for longer games, in which you can play more elaborate gameplans, personalizing the experience of 100 card singleton, which I'd like to think of being a big reason to play commander.

Hateboar > edh :D

One thing I don't understand, how is bad that a card like Karn can be attacked when you just said in your "High Power" games attacking isn't relevant? That means everyone is always holding back their creatures or they don't play many, which means Karn would be quite safe.

We are talking about as a win condition, but attacks do still happen all the time :)

@@NitpickingNerds Understandable. Another Hate Card you missed, which I love to bits, is Thalia, Heretic Cathar. Nothing like making Fetchlands the absolute worst.

Easy answer any card that makes one player in the playgroup get salty is always worth it.

Ill play rust in peace now :)

rust in peace sounds like another name for stony silence

I like Illusionary Mask. It's the ultimate hate card. By the time you read through all of the rulings, everyone hates you

Any aggressive, boros wins by playing hatebears as creatures. Slow your opponnent down since you wont be ramping haha.
