I guess we just forgot that Heliod exists for Shalai and Halar. Kroxa also insta-wins by having Altar of Dementia by going “Kroxa -> Sac to mill 6 -> get Kroxa back with itself -> mill to a select number of cards are in graveyard -> use final Kroxa trigger to reanimate Sun Titan instead -> reanimate Animate Dead -> reanimate Worldgorger Dragon -> perform one Worldgorger loop with Animate Dead -> use Sun Titan to reanimate any 3 or less etb damage effect -> you win with infinite Worldgorger loop” Im sorry yall. It feels like you kind of only surface level looked at these.

Whether you like combos or not, this card has them, and the video disagrees with that even though there are 14+ as stated by the other reply. Also being a magnet to removal is not a talking point. That should suggest it's more powerful, not less.

Kroxa and Kunoros has Altar of Dementia as a one card wincon! Self mill, using altar to mill yourself 6 and always choosing your commander to come back from it's own etb, netting you a card in your graveyard. Mill until you have Angel of Glory Rise and Fiend Hunter in your graveyard, then end the loop by bringing Angel of Glory Rise back, etb effect brings back Fiend Hunter. Fiend Hunter etb exiles Angel of Glory Rise. Sacrifice the Fiend Hunter to mill a player a card, Angel of Glory Rise etb brings back Fiend Hunter, Fiend Hunter exiles Angel of Glory Rise. Repeat until your opponents mill out. Power level of these commanders (Shalai and Hallar too) is underrated by these two this time. Keep up the great work!

Something unique I’ve seen with Yargle and Multani is a focus on power matters deck. A deck where you play it and either sack it to greater good to draw 18 cards, or dome someone for 18 with Essence harvest. And if Yargle and Multani die to much, you can also use other creatures with absurd power that are very common in green and black.

​@@kennellfrederick4367 I can see the idea of combos not being fun, especially in more casual metas. However a combo with your commander is the most built-around your commander can be. Probably the best example of this is cEDH Godo, where almost every single card in the deck is focused on equipping Helm of the Host to Godo as fast and safely as possible.

Haha I can’t help but feel like the Shalai/Hallar take is a troll take. There are multiple two card combos with it and counters are such a supported theme it’s half multiple combos in the command zone and even if not playing any of the combos it’s still very easy to put so many counters on stuff you just burn down the the table. Be very interesting to see if the nerds are right on this one but I don’t think so. Although I do think the characters in the card are kinda meh so I agree with that

Dang, feels like y'all are really missing the mark on the power of a few of these. Shalai and Hallar is one of the strongest in the set as like... everyone else has said. Rem/Traft reads really weak at first glance, but with an Intruder Alarm or similar effect and any way to tap Rem/Traft, you can guarantee 3 tokens a turn, and it gets totally infinite with any way to flicker. Kroxa/Kunoros also can self-mill your deck and reanimate itself with an Altar of Dementia which seems pretty noteworthy. Definitely stronger than you're expecting here. Shocked by your top rankings too tbh.
@kennellfrederick4367
@kennellfrederick4367 Жыл бұрын
comboing doesn't make the deck strong, because you can play combos in any deck for an easy win. The ability of Shalai and Hallar only targets one person instead of each opponent, so it's hard to win over time. You pretty much have to go combo which means you're ignoring the +1/+1 counter theme, which is supposed to win through combat damage.
@Amascut
@Amascut Жыл бұрын
@@kennellfrederick4367gnoring the fact that +1/+1 counter decks have loads of ways to repeatedly put counters on themselves anyway, pinging for tons of damage? I play an Abzan counters deck and it can put 10-20+ counters on a board very easily. That’s crazy damage numbers with Shalai and Hallar. It’s also really silly to say the deck is “supposed” to win with combat damage, when Wizards has made a real effort to make counters decks feel different as of late and not just be a binary ramp up combat damage deck at all times. Look at cards like Falco Spara?

Giada's body was restored with Halo and she was constantly following Errant around while she was on her mission to plant the charges to knock the skyscrapers by lending potency to her halo cartridges and shielding her from harm, but never actually made her presence know Errant. Giada was essentially Errant's guardian angel during the mission Also Athreos saw that Kroxa ate the phyrexians so hard that no oil remained when they reached him in the underworld, so he unchained him and sent Kunoros to shepherd Kroxa so he couldn't escape again. Edit: There's a recent article about why a lot of the team ups are teaming up. Kairi decided Hidetsugu's power would be needed to fight the phyrexians as an example, so decided to unlock Hidetsugu, etc

Saint traft and rem karolus with jeskai ascendancy and sorcerers class though. Think that could be interesting maybe with like the best convoke cards and inspired creatures.

I think this commander is stronger than the Nerds think it is. You can get some value with convoke and then win with Sakashima's Will/Mirrorweave/Polymorphous Rush effects and change everything into 4/4 angels instead of a deck that goes wide and wins with an overrun effect. Its the same idea, it's just doing a very tired strategy in a different way so you can play different cards.

Hey Joe and Beezy! I just built Slicer, Hired Muscle last week. And then I just saw that you placed it at 619 before Moira and Teshar….. Slicer is the most broken commander! I think you guys should revisit it! It is a CEDH commander, even on a relatively modest budget! Play all the red rituals, and it spreads out commander damage to the tune of 21 a turn as early as turn 1 or 2, and ends the game before other players are able to even get their game plan started. It’s literally mono red aggro in EDH!

they don't grade for cedh, and if it does 21 damage on turn 1, it probably gets a very low fun score because then you're barely playin magic

As someone who has an OG Kroxa deck, it's not _that_ hard to keep a graveyard stocked. Also, what game are you playing in that you need 10+ reanimations to win while attacking with a 6/6 Lifelink Menace.

It was mentioned giada wasn't old enough/to small to fight like other new capenna angels, so she wasn't always ball of energy always unlike other angels. You have to remember new capenna angels are different from normal angels.

Polukranos has a pretty cool unike interactiom though, if you play Hydras with X/X power toughness for X=0 then they die upon hitting the battlefield thus making the two tokens, two 3/3 tokens with effects for 1-3 mana is a pretty good deal put in some graveyard to battlefield spells and some token buffers and youve got an army of hydras on the field, pretty cool go wide strategy imo its a bit janky but the unikness makes it kinda worth it imo.

Everyone is talking about Shalai and Hallar, but I also feel that Sheoldred got a bit underrated here. In a non-combo meta it's a very strong recurring value piece. Sure it's 10 mana, but it can be payed in 5 + 5 installments, and it probably destroys more than that in value, with the non-token edict and destroy permanent from chapter 1. And discard 3 into Rise of the Dark Realms is a very solid disruption into win condition line. Again, not a cEDH card I reckon, but quite strong in combat metas, especially in the 99
