I think part of the "mean" strategy that is being overlooked is incrementally building a token army whenever you use exiling removal, as it doesn't say that you need to exile your own permanents to get the token.
Best mtg content on the net! I'm not sure how I feel about this commander yet but it's definitely an interesting deck. I like the "shell game" aspect you get with the foretell mechanic. Sweet vid as always Joel!
Bro, this deck is so much fun. You gotta try it. Idc if you do strong, fun, or mean. It's such a different game. Btw, the box precon can lay down some crazy stuff. You can have fun without even upgrading it dramatically lol.
This is a solid video from start to finish for anyone that buys this Kaldheim Commander deck! Plenty of great options in a good presentation. I just picked it up last week even knowing about the upcoming Spirit Squadron deck from Crimson Vow, because of the different options available with Phantom Premonition.
No one is mentioning Parallax Wave - Opalesence combo. Exile everyones creatures at instant speed and also make infinite spirits. With alter of the brood you'd win that turn.
@@JakeandJoelareMagic after your video, i do now. Had to remove all stax for more flicker. Smooth as butter now. Board wipes are the only downfall without (flicker until end of turn) in hand.
If the plan is to make a bunch of spirit tokens, then I'd recommend Mirrorweave 2(U/W)(U/W) Instant Each other creature becomes a copy of target nonlegendary creature until end of turn. Attack with all my creatures. After blocks have been declared, change them into the most dangerous thing on the table. Sure would be a shame if my opponent had a symmetrical elf lord like Elvish Champion on the battlefield.....
Cool ways to build ranar I feel like the precon tried to do all 3. It was cool too see some one take this down a foretell path lots of channels I've seen focused more on flicker/blink and fortell on the side.
I've been trying to find some theme-ish combos to slip into a Millicent EDH deck and Ranar caught my attention. It's really too bad that Ranar's triggered ability generates only one token, I had a lil' loop combo all planned out till I realized only one token is generated. X'D
My only problem with Ranar is the Whenever one or MORE card are exiled, meaning that with brago you only get 1 token even if you blink your whole board.
Thought Lash is another card like Moonring Mirror. This deck looks like it could really go bad sometimes. I wouldn't lean into flicker too much, more of other exile tricks. You need the foretell spells to make it work, and you have to let Azorius do its control/stacksy thing. Yet, I don't make fun decks much. Good commander for copy spells like Mirrormade.
it's not the best match - ranar's abilities and reflections effect don't really cross synergies very well - unless you're going strictly spirit tribal, in which case it would be great. tribal decks will always like reflections.
Seems like all the Ranar decks leave out the imprint and suspend mechanic. I mean, no Mimic Vat? More etb's and spirits. Same with Ice Cauldron. Summoner's Egg? Séance?
Pro tip: don't forget ranar gives tokens for battlefield exiles -- not just on your side. This deck can be bad af, bro. I'm having so much fun with it. So much fortell and exile synergy, nothing but fliers, control and board clear and removal out the ass.... Yall gotta try it. Foretell literally changes the game. Don't sleep on soulherder, conjurers closet, and bident of thassa. Maybe as foretold, too. Sick combos with Ranar and a few permanent creatures. Just beware the deflecting palm 😂😂
The only thing that stinks is you can't make a spirit from every token blinked with Brago,so done etb flickers, and flicker form are done I'm adding to get numerous instances of flickering
Does Ranar's first ability allow you to NOT pay the {2} or does it allow you cast without paying the foretell cost( on the later turn)? Anyone plz🤷🏽♂️✋
if they all exile at once, yes. If you can separate them into different occurrences, you get multiple spirits. it's "whenever" so you're benefitted by doing one at a time. does that make sense?

It’s nice that brago is already included in the deck but i definitely would have been worried if they added busted etbs in this deck
How was 'Flying' tribal not the choice over just 'spirits'

Absolutely! That is definitely the intention

i came here for the intro. stayed for the content

Oh, that's a great combo to include! Do you play Ranar?

You've just activated my foretell card...
If the plan is to make a bunch of spirit tokens, then I'd recommend Mirrorweave
2(U/W)(U/W) Instant

Im trying to build a loop with rest in peace + sac outlet (altar of dementia) i guess this counts as a mean strat ?

Great video looks like fun to Flickr Renar along with the agent have a great day you guys are the wind beneath my wings
My only problem with Ranar is the Whenever one or MORE card are exiled, meaning that with brago you only get 1 token even if you blink your whole board.
Dude, just use felidar guardian plus a clone or restoration angel to get multiple trigger of Ranar's last ability in one turn. 😁
Just keep in mind. If more than one thing is exiled at the same time ranar only gives you one token.
Absolutely
Solution: Felidar Guardian + Clone/Restoration Angel = million spirits (same thing with deadeye navigator + cloud of faeries or peregrine drake) 😁

Can ranar the ever watchful work with the reflection of littjara ? thx
it's not the best match - ranar's abilities and reflections effect don't really cross synergies very well - unless you're going strictly spirit tribal, in which case it would be great. tribal decks will always like reflections.
Ranar huh.......let's make a thematic palindromic deck!!!
Seems like all the Ranar decks leave out the imprint and suspend mechanic.
I mean, no Mimic Vat? More etb's and spirits. Same with Ice Cauldron.
Summoner's Egg?
Séance?
Does Ragnar makes a token for each card exiled or just 1 per turn regardless of how many you exile?
Pro tip: don't forget ranar gives tokens for battlefield exiles -- not just on your side.
This deck can be bad af, bro. I'm having so much fun with it. So much fortell and exile synergy, nothing but fliers, control and board clear and removal out the ass.... Yall gotta try it. Foretell literally changes the game.

Yeah I really think there's a lot of potential
Think I wanna do a fun/strong mix!
Like a great time at the gym!
The only thing that stinks is you can't make a spirit from every token blinked with Brago,so done etb flickers, and flicker form are done I'm adding to get numerous instances of flickering
You guys are totally blowing it by not using autotune in every video smh
Lol I saw the first half of this comment as a notification on my phone and was like, "what is this guy's problem" then read the rest 😅
Does Ranar's first ability allow you to NOT pay the {2} or does it allow you cast without paying the foretell cost( on the later turn)? Anyone plz🤷🏽♂️✋
Ranar's ability discounts the 2 to put a card in exile, it doesn't discount the casting cost of the Foretell card in exile.
That mean way is quite.....mean!!!
So with Ranar the Ever-Watchful, you only get one 1/1 spirit token even if you exile 3 cards? You don't get a 1/1 token for every card exiled?
if they all exile at once, yes. If you can separate them into different occurrences, you get multiple spirits. it's "whenever" so you're benefitted by doing one at a time. does that make sense?
@@JakeandJoelareMagic Yup that makes sense, thanks!
Wait. So if I’m exiling 3 creatures do I get 3 different spirit tokens or just 1?
3
If a card exiles ranar and puts him back does that trigger his token generator or no?
I believe so
Always gotta go mean in edh. I play shadow of doubt and opposition agent in every deck I can
I will try fun deck 😀
subbed
Thank you for watching, D!
Fun he said lol
Cheetos....
