FYI Jin-Gitaxias doesn't see the spells cast from chapter 3 of The Great Synthesis. The spells are cast as a part of the ability resolution, and the saga only exiles and returns after all the spells have been cast (but before they resolve).

Yep. If you got a Jin copy though, it will see every spell you cast with chapter 3.

I wish more people knew about this, but it also just seems like basic magic math to resolve the spell/ability before anything else happens

Invasion of Segovia is my favorite secret tech. People don't realize how powerful convoke is when it's stapled onto non-convoke cards.

I feel like this deck would be able to benefit from Brudiclad as a finisher to close out games by turning your small 1/1 tokens into larger things like the 8/8s from ominous seas.

As Foretold is definitely under rated, especially with even a little bit of proliferate effects. It's basically free counter spells on each of your opponents turns.

I play it in a lot of draw-go style decks. It's slow but I'll take 4 free spells each turn cycle! Lol

An interesting (budget) replacement for Rhystic Study that i've found is [[Insight]]. It's definitely worse, but in an average pod, there is usually a green player to feed the card draw, and you don't annoy the table with the "do you pay the 1". really cool decklist tho

This video was amazing! I love the work you put into brewing the deck and that you've put the time into playing it so that you're able to provide thorough explanations of play patterns. I've been wanting to build Ovika for a while now but really didn't want to do typical Izzet things. This is exactly the type of brew I was hoping to find. I'll definitely be giving your list a try. Thank you for going above and beyond! ❤

Nice idea! there are so many good enchantments in red/blue that I always wanted to run, originally I tried Keranos for the commander but Obika is a really good fit, much more explosive.

Alright back from 3 weeks and let me tell ya I one the first game with Ovika and I felt terrifying. The giant flyer stopped people from wanting to swing their big bads and the goblins kept me in a very safe goblin fort and I just kept churning out more goblins, once I knocked out the second biggest threat the other two just sat in acceptance that they forgot to deal with the goblins

@danort8420Ай бұрын
Your video reminded me that I had a similar experience! I was feeling that my standard Ovika spellslinger deck was too consistent and hence too strong for my playgroup. So I also decided to rebuild it into more of a gimmicky deck: Ovihicles, an Ovika deck centered around vehicles. It's actually very fun and pretty decent, although it comes with a few intricacies you have to play around, like the goblins you create off casting your vehicles entering with haste but the vehicle itself not having haste. Additionaly in the last few sets there were always a few new vehicles fitting the color identity, so the decks keeps evolving.

I just wanted to say thank you for the recommendation of Hurkyl, Master Wizard! I've been working on an esper enchantment deck with the new Arna Kennerud in Moxfield, and primarily wanted it focused on Auras, enchantments and counters. It's been a tough balance figuring out how many 'modification spells' I should include, while keeping the gas on. I still carry my mana rocks for ramp, so there's no short supply of artifacts with the enchantments in tow. A consistent draw card, that allows me to sift through the top five cards for selection in the moment is great for curating, and I could (If I'm reading it right), pull up sorceries etc that I happen to cast that turn as well if I'm lucky. I've been trying to find card draw that isn't just mesa enchantress, that just sits back and does nothing-- but forwards the deck whenever I happen to draw it, given the colour spread available. This card looks like a good fit! I already have the usual culprits, like pearl-ear, sram and kor spiritdancer that handle the casting side along with auras that draw. Breena and Raffine have been alternative methods to draw, while modifying the counters for doubling. Recently found you last week, been loving the vids! :) Will be tuning in for the next~

Part of me is looking at swapping Phyrexian alter (mainly because I don't have one) for an Artificer Class since it should be able to get me a mana rock and to start copying my mana rocks.

I'm surprised you're using manaform hellkite...it not only doesn't trigger your commander when you cast it, but if you're discounting your spells (like with as foretold, sunbirds, cascade, etc) it is not very useful as it only makes a dragon as big as the amount of mana actually spent rather than the straight mana value. Also, recommendations: Struggle for Project Purity - obviously not as good as Rhystic, but a great budget replacement that doesn't generate nearly as much hate. Connect the Dots - Functions similarly to Tamiyo's draw mechanic as it triggers for each goblin you attack with (which means it can also pile up over the course of a couple turns if your board state is struggling). Lost in the Maze - Instant speed, clears blockers, lets you make as many goblins as you want, and can protect your board.

5:28 that is wrong. you cast everything as you resolve that trigger, and they go to the stack before jin-gitaxias returns to the battlefield. jin-gitaxias returns before any of them resolve, however he sees none of those entering the pile, so won't draw any cards.
