Came to post Rebuff too, it's a great counter for MonoW.

"Emerge Unscathed" is my favorite, it's essentially the same thing except for creatures only (protection from color of your choice, which is basically a counterspell), BUT it's got rebound also, which gives you double the value. You can "counter" your opponent's removal spell on their turn, then when it's your turn again, it gets recast, allowing you to choose the color of their blockers and get a free swing in! It's also more flexible in that you can chump block attacks that would normally kill your creature, keep it alive, and swing in the next turn. LOTS of combat shinanigans with Emerge Unscathed.

But... Reconnaissance is like, 10 bucks or so.

Yea the one mana protection spells essentially do this a little better, still good though

@@ferdithetank7535 It's 6 at starcity so less elsewhere

Clever way of making a joke about the situation without dating the video, really.

Sadly I've also given up paper magic for the duration of the current situation.

God i am dying to play edh but everyhting is shut down i wanna cry

lazyfigninja Indeed. N A Yeah it's kind of pants. I thought I could get my friends to play EDH online over Cockatrice, but two of them hate Cockatrice so bad they'd rather film their actual decks with a webcam, and the last one doesn't have a physical deck.

@@veggiedragon1000 I found one that ain't too bad called untap.in, haven't done much on it but seems deece

In my meta, I run across an izzet Niv combo deck, I loooove putting that on the Niv and foiling their plan

Good on Crypt Rats as well

You stole my idea. I love this card

the opponent would gain the life, not a good idea helping them like that.

@@dungeonmasterforhire3817 not true. It says you. Not owner of the creature

add a green flying hate to make that boon a curse

Do the baa baa baa, ba ba baaa

What is this yugioh lol

POT OF GREED!? WHAT DOES THAT DO?!

No, that would be 'Icatian Town' (no, seriously that is what the card does)

If you're playing commander you can run just as many scapegoats as you can in yugioh right now

opponent exiled cards go into opponents graveyard.

@@dungeonmasterforhire3817 right, you can't recast w/ adventure if it's in graveyard instead of exile (that's the whole point)

wow that's a bizare, but awesome idea!

Yep! Going to cover all the colors!

Everyone knows this card ever since it's been reprinted in Battlebond tho. But yeah it's pretty good, although I prefer Weathered Wayfarer because it can tutor any land, not just plains.

@@Isolanporzellator Land tax can search for lands other than plains too, as long as they are basic lands ;) And it seaches for up to 3 cards, so while Wayfarer is nice for finding your combo pieces, land tax is great at thining out your library.

Another similar card that usually is underrated is weathered pathfinder a 1/1 that paying white and tapping let you to search for a land (any land) and put it on your hand if you control fewer lands than a opponent.

@@Isolanporzellator I just read your comment :P

lol ;)

Flickering ward is even better in an enchantress build

The fact that so many people are bringing up Flickering Ward tells me that it's not unknown or underplayed enough to make the list.

What I used to abuse flickering ward with was enchantresses so I was paying WW to draw X cards where X was the number of enchantress effects I controlled.

Try remove enchantments in Sram! It’s nuts

It is underplayed. I stumbled upon this card a few months ago and run it in my mono-w angels tribal. I think there are just so many better card draws in other colors that you're hard pressed to put Inheritance in.

@@josephberger699 yeah and paying 3 mana is hard on a white deck unless you're playing green for ramp, but at that point you already have green for far better carddraw.

skullclamp is cheaper cmc and twice the effect.

Thank you! Cheers!

Chris Fellows Moment of Silence is good redundancy but only stops the next combat step, not all of them like Festival.

Words can not express how much I despise annihilator..might throw this card in a deck or two lol

That's not white, but still a good card :)

@@GamingBear_Q_E_D I mean, Artifact cards look white and white cards look yellow so.. :p

hello everyone and welcome to the commanders quarters my name is mitch glad to have you here

Go home Mitch, you're drunk!

​@@GamingBear_Q_E_D True, though white is very good at retrieving little artifacts/eggs. :3

Same

Omg the exact same

Yeah

yeah, sad to see it didn't make the list, he's such a great card against combat deck/tokens and when playing blink

This card was one of the first to elicit the, "wait, what is that?" I ever played in commander. Solid card.

It is kind of a white ramp spell, I dig that card but still trying to figure out in wich deck I could fit it

I think a lot of people overlook that it is ramp for 1 mana in white. It’s the closest thing to a llanowar elf in white and has other things going on too. I ran it as a wincon in estrid the masked (infinite lifelink vampires and the fact that it is an enchantment doesn’t hurt).

I love Ashes to Ashes. It's a swell.

I play ashes tô ashes!

I play pauper commander. Ashes to Ashes is in every PEDH black deck I've ever touched (Common in The Dark)

Nice, that's going in my wishlist for my Marchesa, the Black Rose deck for sure! Also, that 5th edition art is awesome.

Thank You for this. This card is guud. Will purchase.

@@cryosen Everytime

As if you would have trouble making green good in EDH, blue and green are by far the strongest colours :P

@@Yuzuki1337 ughh black says hello Also to the main comment. Garcia shouldn't be built around hydras. Run instance that offer him protection and control the board with his fighting

Here's my $50 Gargos list for suggestions. I run a small number of Hydras and primarily focus on Gargos' triggered ability with lots of auras and cheap combat tricks. This deck has done a great job hanging with (and beating) much more expensive EDH decks. It contains lots of card draw, and the commander makes almost every instant spell a removal. archidekt.com/decks/273747#Gargos,_$50_EDH Also, here is the source article I used for a lot of my ideas. Tomer at MTGGoldfish put together an excellent Gargos deck tech. www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-commander-gargos-vicious-watcher-25-50-100

@@ashra8281 please don't tell people how commanders "should" be built. Commander needs to keep being the format that admires creativity and encourage diversity.

Gargos makes 1 mana pumpspells really good, because he turns them into removal. Try Blossoming Defense, Ranger's Guile, Vines of Vastwood, Rancor, Spider Umbra, Snake Umbra, Primal Bellow, Invigorate, Berserk, Withstand Death and Viridescent Wisps (Choose 7-12 spells that you like, more is probably overkill). Elvish Fury is particularly nice because it's a pumpspell with buyback, which gives it great lategame value with Gargos. Whip Silk is an aura that can bounce itself, which can also be used to trigger Gargos multiple times. Hunter's Insight, Rishkar's Expertise and Soul's Majesty are great for card draw. Veil of Summer, Heroic Intervention, Nature's Claim, Krosan Grip, Beast Within and Song of the Dryads are good green disruption cards. Asceticism can regenerate Gargos and also gives your board blanket hexproof. Get some equipments to protect Gargos like Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Magebane Armor (fight damage is noncombat damage) and Darksteel Plate (Since the pumpspells are a lot worse without him, it's important that Gargos sticks on the battlefield). Equipments that give lifelink like Loxodon Warhammer, Shadowspear and Basilisk Collar are great because they give you 8 life everytime Gargos fights. Grafted Exoskeleton is particularly nasty because it allows Gargos to oneshot players with 10 infect damage. Other than that, the only thing Gargos really needs is a ton of ramp. Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Arbor Elf, Sol Ring, Wild Growth, Utopia Sprawl, Gaea's Touch, Extraplanar Lens, Caged Sun, The Great Henge; Nissa, Who Shakes the World; Selvala, Heart of the Wild; Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Nature's Lore and Skyshroud Claim are good examples. Gargos needs a lot of ramp, so save at least 10, probably closer to 15 card slots total for that. For lands include Castle Garenbrig, Rogue's Passage; Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx; Arcane Lighthouse, Yavimaya Hollow, Ancient Tomb, Cavern of Souls and Gaea's Cradle, depending on your budget (Cavern and Cradle probably aren't worth it for most people, but Yavimaya Hollow would be fantastic because it synergizes so well with Gargos fighting trigger). Fill with forests until you have 36-39 lands (depending on how much ramp you run). The decks main win condition would be commander damage or infect, maybe put in a handful of the best hydras, but no more than 10. If there are any card slots left, fill them with card draw like Sylvan Library or Harmonize, or with tutors like Green Sun's Zenith and Finale of Devastation.

Glad you like them!

@@TolarianCommunityCollege btw my favorite 1 mana white card is Launch the Fleet. It reads, "This spell costs 1 more to cast for each target beyond the first. Until end of turn, any number of target creatures each gain "Whenever this creature attacks, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token that's tapped and attacking" it's a game ender if you cast it for a final swing of the hammer. Thanks for replying Prof. Stay fresh homie 😆

I seriously thought this was a YuGiOh reference until I looked it up.

@@CrayonShed "LEGEND OF HEART"

Dispatch is the one you're thinking of

Freaky Jiki Thanks. I saw it later but yeah that cards pretty damn strong if you can consistently have metalcraft.

That image has confused me to no end....

I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed or cared!

IT BROKE NEW GROUND

THANK YOU!

We always knew the professor was a HackFraud (tm)

These cards are pretty bad... Would you play 1 mana deathtouch creatures in EDH? No, these are strict downgrades to something you wouldn't play beforehand. Outside of early game these cards do little to nothing against any well built/resilient deck, hence they are dead. < AKA BAD

Alessandro So the alternative is...? Content creators avoid talking about any card? Anyway, this effect is even less prevalent during a global pandemic when people are hard up on cash. Go look at mtggoldfish, many cards are stagnating/tanking.

Lol these cards wont get expensive

@@congruity It's not a critique, don't take me wrong. I just found funny that the Professor said proudly in one of the last few video that he was able to swing the market once or twice, and here we are with a TOP 10 commander underplayed card list.

Thanks for watching!

3 mana draw a card is already a terrible rate, add on another white pip, and a limitation/requirement on when it can be used... Pretty bad tbh

@@Jonathan-qk5ed see, but 3 mana to draw a card really builds in white, and especially in a color with so many answers, card draw is key.

Literally had to put a ninja trick to get It out XD

Decent card, but abusing Heroic triggers is completely out of the picture since Heroic has little to no good cards...

need to spend more time on scryfall ;). I'd come across like four of them researching a mono-white deck over the past few days

Legit though

I know right? Storm Crow go home. Any aggro equipment deck needs this.

Glad it was helpful!
