You still have to pay the mana for each ulalek trigger. So you are limited to available mana. That said, you can still make a TON of copies.

Exactly, so it almost does and with kozilek's unsealing you're getting really close! You just need the right eldrazi then
@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant4 күн бұрын
it does but you need ulalek, echoes, flash enabler like velkadyn orrery or skittering cicada, and either a separate infinite mana combo like basalt monolith/forsaken monument or something on the stack that will produce enough mana such as glaring fleshraker's trigger.

If you're running Dragon Tempest you gotta make sure to include Ancient Gold Dragon. Even if it's the only dragon on the board rolling a 6 or higher is enough to KO a single person and rolling an 11 or higher is enough to finish off three opponents still at 40 life.

Cool! Kellan, the Kid seems interesting. Do you usually get to turbo ramp by playing more lands, or do you usually get to put mermanents into play? I haven't been able to figure out how to properly build the Faerie.

Some picks are... questionable..? I mean, a Defiler in an instant/sorcery deck..? And Ojer Axonil that will screw your card draw on your commander..? The other suggestions are just fine, but those two are literally anti-synergistic
@SlowUnpacking2 ай бұрын
Defiler I put in for the pinging effect, you still have a bunch of red permanents entering too. But I think goblin bombardment could go there as a better way to care about your creatures as a nice finisher instead of incremental value. Ojer Axonil will be anti synergy when you have your commander out, but you will not always have it out. So it's a nice replacement in the meantime I'd say. It's also recursive so at that point it feels like a new commander doesn't it?

You said during the video that the Salasnyans are getting closer to the Golgari but at the end of the video you are hinting they might transform into Naya while I was expecting it to be Abzan. Did I misunderstand something?
@SlowUnpacking5 ай бұрын
No, both of these things are true I think. But for different reasons. The Selesnyans have always been like the Golgari in a way. But just because they both don't mind dying. Both have different reasons for it, but both also see it as a natural thing. The Selesnyans are becoming more and more Naya because of their cards in Karlov Manor. You can see it in worldsoul's anger for example. Which is a gruul card featuring trostani. Or look at Voja's Naya card for example. I hope this explains my view. I will make a video on all the guild relations later on.

You might want to add more of the lore from the original three sets and the surrounding events, their role in society, and in the guildpact.. From the original novels, the average ravinican seems to encounter them more acting as police than as an army. For instance, at the end of the novels Argus could arrest that big deal villain only because the magic of the guildpact came into play when her performed his role as a Bros officer of the law. Positive vibing Sloth chillin on you channel page is solidly amusing

I did read the ravnica novels where Kos has a major role for my preparation for these videos.

The sloth definitely cheers me up everytime I see it.
