One thing you didn't touch on is Pair o' Dice Lost can return any number of lands from your graveyard to your hand, on top of the other cards you would choose to add up to your roll. Excellent with fetches, cycle lands, deserts, etc. because they don't add to the X total.

I was in the middle of putting together a Vrondiss "dice rolling tribal" when Unfinity was released. Adding attractions, while not a main strategy, has helped add a free dice roll each turn once they're out and some of the effects are pretty cool. Hall of Mirrors triggering lets me make all my creatures into non-legendary Vrondiss for the turn. Then swing with all the tokens I have and dare my opponent to block.

I think the biggest thing that will forever impact EDH is stickers. The fact they stay on the card between zones is crazy strong with commanders, since they'll guaranteed keep the stickers the rest of the game. Buffing voltron commanders or other stat matters commanders permanently with P/T stickers, adding abilities, changing your commander's card name so you can clone it easier; this is actually much more impactful than anyone's really thinking of or talking about. The Ambassador is going right into my 5c Sisay Legend tribal deck, because there are at least 10 sticker sheets that have an 8+ power sticker, so I can guarantee getting those high P/T stickers every game, and thus I can use Sisay to pull out the Ambassador (maybe blink him once or more too) and permanently buff Sisay to be able to tutor up nearly anything from my deck all game without having to rely on +1/+1 counters / auras / equipment, not to mention the other ability stickers I could give her. I'm also gonna put in Tusk and Whiskers, Myra the Magnificent, and The Most Dangerous Gamer.

The different borders has like 0 selling power as a point.

For Magar the only extra combat that works to go infinite is Savage Beating, the others have to be casted during a main phase. Also i'd also mention things that give double strike since you cast the noted cards with combat damage, so that would be 2 copies per attack.

Namely I am running Form of Approach of the Second Sun, instead of regular approach of the second sun. I think itll just be a more fun version of a kinda unfun wincon. We also are testing out the Rangeling land for us since they said it was only acorn to save legacy, and I have a deserts deck that wants it bad.

@timothymantor7332 Жыл бұрын

Ya know what would be really cool? A modal tribal effect on a commander. I'm thinking something like Magecraft - Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, If that spell has modes you may choose one extra mode. So for example with something like Mystic confluence you would get 4 instances of the 3 choices of effects instead of 3 (Because it specifically mentions you can choose the same mode more than once, and for something like "Temur Charm" you simply get to choose another of the 3 options, instead of just one you get 2.

The decision to make some cards in this set eternal-legal and remove silver borders was made way too late during development of the set. It wasn't possible at that point to properly set up silver border and black border print sheets. I think you're overthinking this and make it sound more complicated than it actually is: Acorn at the bottom = Not legal in Eternal. That's it. You wouldn't care about whether there is a foil stamp or not in any other set.

@JaySay Жыл бұрын

55:00 I was wondering when they were going to acknowledge that about Comet. The most annoying part about it is that it's not a guaranteed infinite, and I mean ever. Unless you have a card that allows you to choose what number (which would be 6) over and over for each activation, you will have to roll each amount of dice each time, and literally prove that you will roll a 6. It would be fine in a dice _rolling_ deck, but it's more of a finite combo, and not an infinite one. Not only that, but am I wrong in thinking that Josh was incorrect about the "half a million times choose this..." part? Wouldn't you have to do what number you land on, and not choose one of that number or lower? I haven't read the wiki on Comet, but that's what it appears like; otherwise they would have stated something like "Roll a six sided die. Choose an ability less than or equal to the result." It's still a crapshoot which number you would be hitting besides the recurring "6" if you did get it to combo, and with Barbarian Class effects, you are much more likely to hit the 4 or 5 ability, which would _lower_ the loyalty on Comet more than the 6 ability is providing. You would need to hit the 6's twice as much as the 4's or 5's! I have a feeling i'm not the first to think about this, but to ensure that you would hit that 6 enough to combo effectively, you would def need a guaranteed more than 4 effects like Barbarian class. I actually don't see it as that valid of a combo piece in dice decks, unless you have a full board with protection.

They really should have made a Heritage/Legacy (ala Risk, Pandemic, etc...) style rule-set for this Un-set Where the stickers stay on cards between games/rounds and have some kind of leaderboard/checklist/bingo-sheet for different achievements that play-groups could print and sign for bragging rights. It wouldn't interfere with the Draft aspect of Un-sets, but would be a much better fit for the stickers/Attractions deck.

I think the replacement of the Silver Border with the Acorn stamp has really exposed a divide among commander players. Some of us play it because it’s a casual format where things are looser than the more competitive standard/modern/pioneer. Some people play commander with a competitive spirit, even if it’s not “cEDH”. Personally, I actually think most Silver-Bordered cards from Unglued and Unstable wouldn’t be too out of place if they just had a black border. Stuff like “Fowl Play”, “Growth Spurt”, “Crow Storm”, “Shellephant” wouldn’t be out of place in a black-bordered set. I’m surprised y’all didn’t mention Embiggen (for a single green mana, target creature gets +1/+1 for each supertype, card type, and creature type) because it’s seeing play in Legacy Infect (inkmoth nexus gets +5/+5). I’m also planning on getting the Merry-Go-Round attraction (creatures with power 2 or less get HORSEMANSHIP) for my Alesha deck (where most creatures have power 2 or less).

I love Magar because he welcomes a lot of "unplayble" cards in commander (Worst Fears, et al), but he is a bit problematic because he poses a lot of rules traps that all players in the game should understand: 1. Copies of his puppets (ie. face down cards) will NOT copy any cards because they didn't note any cards themselves. So forget about cards like Heat Shimmer. Take note that this also means Exchange of Words will not allow you steal the free spell of his puppets. 2. Extra combat spells that mention "this main phase" will not work if you did not cast them during your main phase - they will simply not generate additional combat phases. Make sure you use cards like Savage Beating instead which does not have this restriction.

@therealax6 Жыл бұрын

I should probably say that Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker and Exchange of Words do _not_ interact how you think. The whacker does not die. The ability that sets the whacker's power and toughness is a replacement effect that sets power and toughness as the creature enters the battlefield, and as such, it is part of the creature's copiable values (rule 613.2a, layer 1a). Exchange of Words creates a text-changing effect (called out directly in the rules, 612.5), which applies in layer 3. Therefore, the power/toughness effect will apply before the textbox exchange is applied. EDIT: it _does_ kill most other creatures with similar abilities, though, because those abilities apply in layer 7b. It's only specifically abilities that create copiable values (because they are replacement effects for entering the battlefield) that get applied before the exchange. For instance, Ashaya dies to the exchange.

@therealax6 Жыл бұрын

Yes and no. To summarize what everyone has said already: - Whether a permanent is a commander or not is an attribute of the card, not the permanent. A permanent is a commander if it is represented by a commander card. (If the permanent is represented by multiple cards, as when you mutate something, it is a commander if at least one of those cards is a commander.) So, for effects that care about whether you control a/your commander, the answer is no. - The effect of Exchange of Words does _not_ end (for the other permanent) when one of them leaves the battlefield. Therefore, you can keep the switched effect on the other creature after your commander leaves the battlefield. If all you care about is the effect on the creature, you can have it twice. - The same is true if one of them stops being a creature: the text-changing effect does not end. Go wild.

I know WotC sponsors this show/channel, but don't pretend that WotC didn't drop the ball on this Un set. Call them out on their mistakes so that they'll do better in the future!

Comet seems like it would be better in go-wide token decks rather than trying to make it a janky combo. The three effects are all good, and sometimes you get two.

34:00 how do you repeat saw in half it has to resolve to split the mage.

@therealax6 Жыл бұрын

You cast Saw in Half _first_ and then cast Dualcaster Mage in response. The mage enters the battlefield, and the ETB goes on the stack, targetting Saw in Half. The copy of Saw in Half targets the mage and resolves, creating two mages. They both enter the battlefield as 1/1s, and both ETBs go on the stack, one targetting the original Saw in Half (still on the stack: the copy resolved; the original did not) and the other one targetting whatever else you want. So at this point you have on the stack something you wanted to copy, then Saw in Half, then the two mage ETBs targetting both spells; you also have two 1/1 mages on the battlefield. Thus you can present a loop.

Myra is nuts. If you put extra turn spells under attractions that have a 50% chance to hit you can go nuts with extra turns. I hit 3 in a row with an Expropriate under an attraction. Needles to say the game was over.

@kurowasanabe Жыл бұрын

You need two extra piles of cards for them to fully work. One for the stickers and one for the attractions that give you tickets that you can use for better stickers. Then you need cards that let you put stickers on things and cards that let you open attractions. Also if you want to use those attractions you have to roll a die and get the correct roll on it in order for you to activate them at all. It's a whole mess of things just to do a silly thing. Also they barely stick on new things after you used them once so it's something that will get harder to use as time goes on.

Pair o' Dice Lost can always get any number of lands out of your graveyard, regardless of dice roll, so that has applications. No mention of the hilarity of sawing a Grackmaw in half? Nowhere near the most powerful thing to do, but it will still raise eyebrows when you start with a 3/3 Grackmaw end up with two 3/3 hydras and a 6/6 Grackmaw.

I think Comet and 6x (or even 12x) Barbarian class, is still an "indeterminate loop" so doesn't it result in a slow play warning if the player who controls Comet doesn't win fast enough? We need a judge in the comments lol
