Uktabi Drake is a one mana flying & haste creature in green.

Every time Demo mentions Panglacial Wurm, take a shot ;)

Ojer Axonil doesn't actually work with Obsidian Fireheart. The burning lands themselves deal damage to their controller, but Ojer only increases noncombat damage from red sources you control. So unless you want to turn your own land red and make it burn, your opponents only take 1 damage for each burning land they control on their upkeeps even when Ojer is on the battlefield. Cards such as Furnace of Rath (which can also be played in an Ojer deck) would intensify the burning though.

Xenic Poltergeist is great in Etrata, the SIlencer. Turn an artifact into an artifact creature and then exile it with a hit counter with Etrata's trigger. Artifact removal in Dimir is greatly appreciated; especially when it gets you closer to winning.

I don't think Ojer and obsidian fireheart work together like that. Ojer needs a red source that you control to activate it's effect. Fireheart causes the opponents lands to deal damage to themselves. So colorless and you don't control the source

Dauntless Aven is cool, but I do think Drumbellower should get a lot more love

Love videos like this that highlight those niche synergies with certain objectives. Thanks!

Other cards that come to mind for being pretty unique are Stigma Lasher. Sure red does the can't gain life effect a lot, but Lasher persists even if it later dies. Ritual of the Machine is one of the few mono black ways to gain control of creatures in play. And very recently we got Sergeant John Benton. Maybe he doesn't count because Universe Beyond, but still the very first Selesnya creature to ever have haste.

Renounce plays real nice with Barren Glory + One with Nothing. You know, if you want to flex on your oppenents.

There’s so much exile removal PfE, Riftsweeper, and Renounce are looking like good resiliency. There are tons of 3- and 4-lifegain payoffs, so you could easily trigger something with that as well. Dauntless Aven can untap your exerted creatures so you can exert them on back to back combats, assuming they survive.

love videos like this. Pushing to play fun and interesting cards vs format staples. One really cool card I found is currency converter. I have a rakdos artifact deck that loves discarding, and it can also be fetched by urza's saga.

Always gotta give it up to Demo love your videos and really helps me being a broke father can't buy all the expensive staples so gotta do unique things.

Demo, I think your first five color deck should be completely made of of each mechanically unique card available.

Renounce will be fun in my Karador deck, for sure. I've already got Illumination and Lapse of Reason to help cover me late game. Nobody expects white counterspells, and man do they always put in work.

11:30 Drumbellower is an upgraded version of this card, and the white version of Seedborn Muse. Terrific in Kelsien The Plague decks.

Renounce can be used to win the game with Barren of Glory on the field. 😉

Thank you for Soul Sculptor, going right into my enchantment hate deck where I have a million ways to destroy enchantments, now I can use that to destroy their creatures too. Please make more videos like this!

Jabari’s Influence is one of my favorites

I know that you like the part where you can destroy any enchantment on the board with ghastly death tyrant, but there's another creature option to remove enchantments off the board: baleful beholder (etb either give menace to your team OR every opponent sac an enchantment). I'm not running it in any deck atm, but I think its even better if you want an enchantment removal etb in black because it can 3 for one, plus giving menace is more powerful I think that giving deathtouch.

I like head games in Black it's a little bit of a mean card because it only affects one player but the ability to mess with upon an opponent's hand and leave them cards in it as opposed to just discarding cards is mechanically unique. It forces them to deal with a card they may have just tutored for or if you cash scheming symmetry it can Shuffle way the the card that they just put on top of their Library you limit them to playing Just lands but if you need say a board wipe to happen you can hand them the board wipe as well and force them to use it

There's a few other things about Obsidian Fireheart that makes it so interesting. The lands continue to burn even after the player who put the counters on them leaves the game. Also if the blaze counters get moved for any reason, they stop dealing damage at all.

17:27 obsidian fireheart sounds like a slam dunk in ob nixilis captive kingpin, but its really mana intensive to make use of it. I cant say I’ve really ever had much trouble with mana in my deck though, i usually end up with way too many lands in play/exile/hand, to the point it feels almost like I’m playing green too.

Renounce works in decks that check for the number of clues or foods you have sacrificed in the turn to do some effect.

You could use Renounce where you want everything in graveyard ie. prior to casting Living Death.

5:16 soul sculptor is a great way to protect your commander (or another important creature) from a board wipe too!

Reconnaissance is one of my favorite unique "secret" tricks. Really great when you got a bunch of attack triggers but don't want to lose your guys to bigger blockers or something.

I would play Renounce on Isochron Szepter in a Orzhov Deck. Go wide strategy and sac all of the tokens when you have a Vito or Sanguine bond. Also in Azorius: Stealing opp stuff with blue, sacking it to Renounce, also with Isochron. Isochron makes this card much better. Or Boros: Stealing opp stuff with red, most of the time red gives them haste, attacking opp, then sacrificing the creatures before they return to their owner

Renounce reminds me of Plumb The Forbidden: it sort of gives you a way to be a bit better off after a mass exile effect like Farewell, Merciless Eviction or other boardwipes. Other than that, I can only see myself playing Renounce in a commander game alongside Bastion Of Remembrance or Dictate Of Erebos. Nobody wants to whipe your board with those in play, and there aren't many cards that allow you to do it yourself.

I haven't seen it in the comments, but renounce is a must in any barren glory deck. as long as you have a way to get rid of your hand it essentially wins you the game.

Torrent elemental is a unique card. Whi needs cyclonic rift when u can just tap everyones creatures whenever you want and just attack through. And if you exile it you can just cast it again. So run it with delve to to that whenever

the most mechanichally unique cards I know of from the top of my head are Lightning Storm and volcano hellion and maybe pulsemage advocate, would be really interested in your opinion on them

Orcish Squatters could be something for my Alesha deck! Normal attack trigger don’t work with her, but these who check after blocking do work! :3

Obsidian Fireheart seems a solid slot in a Captive Kingpin deck as well. A number of 1 loss of life triggers that persist even if there's a boardwipe and you need to rebuild and recast Ob

Thank you, Soul Sculptor is going to be a great tool against tron decks. Also Renounce is amazing in a food deck. Sure you get 1 less life, but without paying the mana for each.

I did this very recently while looking at Words of Worship. I thought it was super unique and wanted to slot it into the new Will, Scion of Peace Commander deck I've been brewing.

Phoenix chick is useful for taking the monarchy/initiative. I have many decks that introduce both, so having something able to take it from people is always something I'm looking for.

Thank you for finding a new card for zo zu the punisher. Also I kinda want to switch to the noncombat god when he drops

An underrated card I've been putting into a lot of my white decks is Scapegoat. 1 white mana and the low cost of sacrificing a creature (a random token 99% of the time) to return all your creatures to hand at instant speed. Very cheap board wipe protection in the color that already wants to be recurring ETB effects anyways.

I have renounce in my Atagotog barren glory deck, absolute banger there

Treebeard, if I don’t have a means to use all my food, I can use renounce to gain life at instant speed during combat, putting +1/+1 counters on my attacking commander 😮

Renounce + Restore Balance

Xenic Poltergeist + Thornbite Staff = No treasures but mine. Combine with Pitiless Plunderer for infinite death triggers. Renouce pairs with a Barren Glory for an alternate wincon. Also adds some extra salt to an Insurrection

Obsidian Fireheart is good in Ob nixilis, Captive kingpin for dealing 1 damage each upkeep. Fun card 👍

Phoenix chick is my favorite one drop in Sophina, Spearsage Deserter

Gotta love Sundial of the Infinite I think blue and red also have some "end the turn" effects, but none in colorless. Best counter spell in the game lol.

renounce is a slam dunk in a deck focused on winning with Barren Glory

Renounce could really fit in off color themed landfall together with effects that return everything back to battlefield like Second Sunrise.

Obsidian fireheart is actually in my Zo-Zu the punisher deck! Along with every single way in monored to double/triple/+1/+2 damage i deal (usually noncombat with zo-zu and effects like these)

Mobile Garrison also untaps and is colorless. Yeah it doesn't fly, but is just _Crew 2_, it's a 3/4 and it untaps creatures or artifacts. Also I found recently "Saprazzan Bailif" 3UU with ETB exiles all artifacts and enchantments from all graveyards. And when LTB return the exiled cards to their owners hands. I'm seeing if I like it to use for artifact/enchantment recursion in my Phenax deck, where I'm milling, of course, but also have several ways of exiling graveyards, to my benefit and to not give graveyard decks an advantage. I don't know if will work but at least there is the possibility.

Beacon hawk is another awesome free untapper in white. I run both in my Ghen, Arcanum Weaver deck

I have to find room for Renounce in my Trynn and Silvar Human aristocrats deck! This seems like a great emergency button when I need to sacrifice things but Silvar is not on the field yet.

Conquer is an aura that also steals an opponent’s land.

Obsidian Fireheart is arguably good in an Ob Nixilis Captive Kingpin deck because it's doing one damage at a time. The problem is that it's very mana intensive for what you get out of it.

Renounce is really good in a Ratchet field medic deck!

Obsidian Fireheart + proliferate + Deepglow Skate + Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider + Wildfire Elemental

Beacon Hawk is probably better than Dauntless Aven. It untaps creature on combat damage, not attack, but most likely it's just the same for one less mana. I had a whole Tocasia, Dig Site Mentor deck with Beacon Hawk, Dauntless Aven, Civic Gardener and ofc Copperhorn Scout where you would attack with vigilance, then surveil multiple times, untap those creatures, surveil again and so on. The deck didn't work out in that iteration but the idea was fun.

Renounce goes into a Piru Aristocrats deck!!

Sting, the equipment from lord of the rings is a decent colorless way to untap equipted creature for free repeatetly.

Phoenix Chick might be perfect for my Marisi deck

In reguarda to: get stuff back from exile, there is also the emblem of kaldheim kaya. Not a reliable option due to being tied to an emblem though.

Martyr's Bond + renounce + Faith's Reward

radiant Performer&radiate are quite unique in what they're doing

Think death tyrant could fit in my master former anew blink etb deck

i got a idea for renounce.... does it work after you do a Reins of Power?

10:45 i'd argue beacon hawk could be better, it needs to connect, but that what the flying is there for. Also, if Dauntless aven doesn't connect it means it probably died.

Neat episode.

Another card similar to Debt of Loyalty, but better (I think) is Adarkar Valkyrie, since it's repeatable.

Renounce and zuran orb you can get a 2fer if you sac land. Sac a land for 4 life?

Mass sacrifice may counter mass exile if graveyard strats are used

Now I want an Obsidian Fireheart ❤

Not to be obnoxious, but I haven't seen anyone talking about White Plume Adventurer as a simple slot in as a better alternative if you aren't trying to double up on the untapping theme.

Despotic Scepter = Destroying anything you own * At base it is a bad sacrifice outlet however against the Etali's (and such) of this game will be helpful

Obsidian Fireheart would go good in Ghyrson Starn

If you like Dauntless Aven, wait till you see Drumbellower. I've got both of them in my Emmara, Soul of the Accord Vehicles deck.

Dauntless Aven works with Isshin.

Diabolic visions UB for a sorcery that is much better than ponder

I'm throwing Phoenix Chick in my Goro-Goro deck. Also Debt of Loyalty is disgusting in Chun-Li / Zethi. I've stolen 5 creatures in a game with it.

Wyll scion of peace works great with Renounce! It also has a place in my Ratadrabik boardwhipe tribal deck

Renounce - playable in Karlov. However, zuran orb is better choice.

Renounce - Rodolf Duskbringer? As protection.

17:50 the land is dealing the damage not a red permanent you control so this doesn’t work

Renounce & Barren Glory = win the game

Reconnaissance is so so so much better card for untapping attacking creatures.

didnt draw my pheonix chick in ma ognis deck once up till now xD

Unique is an absolute adjective.

Obsidian Fireheart seems like a great mana sink for an infinite red mana combo. Lol

Ahh yeah renounce the card to just get everything back with cosmic Intervention or faiths reward. Its a two card combo to ramp at bare Minimum Maybe you also can combine it with any balance like effect to set back everyone besides you 👀

Unique cards and you didn't include Avoid Fate? I actually got someone with that a few weeks ago. Many brains were broken when the mono-green deck said "Nah, I'ma counter that" Green doesn't exactly rival blue in untapping creatures, but it's no slouch. Seeker of Skybreak is arguably the best creature that untaps a creature. Only 2 mana with only tap to activate... and it can target itself... Illusionist Bracers anyone?

Renounce+Planar Birth

How in the literal shit is Phoenix chick not a rare or mythic?!?! It has built in recursion at a low cost. Flying, haste?!? This thing can just tap Yolo turn sideways every turn

Academy manufacturer.

Renounce + Barren Glory

Love your videos and appreciate all your work. But--please, my friend: "unique" means one-of-a-kind. Nothing can be _very_ unique. It's either unique--or it isn't.

anyone else get anxiety when a video doesn't have time stamps?
