I've been a sustainable value player for as long as I can imagine. Birthing pod, the new talion type taxing effects, mnemonic betrayal. Cards that generate value just for existing. And a keyword soup and very pod friendly commander sounds absolutely amazing. I'm current running a zimone and dina pod deck but it lacks, it doesn't have a commander that is dangerous on its own but also can be podded into a threat and Rex is an etb draw engine that I can pod away for 6 drops. That's amazing. Plus if done right it'll be a 6/6 haste double strike with extra. That's not a bad beat stick. Two swing clock. Honestly I've been wishing talion was sultai cuz he'd had been my bred and butter but I can't have it all. Hoping Rex gets some solid card support and becomes a fun staple
I just built Rayami like two days before this card was revealed, haven't even played it yet. Thinking of using Indominus as a backup plan maybe. will have to experiment with it
Since it's a call back to Ikoria's ability counters, going off of the person who mentioned Goldberry. Couldn't the double counters apply to this as well as Ozolith?
You see correct as I tried searching in those colors, no double strike exist that can be discarded, only artifact equipments sadly. But maybe with the new sets they'll change that
@PubStompMTG ye. He does both. He can just be Hardcast. But I mean, but IRA into the bin, then cast The Mimeoplasm >>>he becomes IRA and gets +1/+1counters from the big Timmy chonker that is also binned. He also enters ans u can discard chonkers that are stuck in your hand. Giving Mimeoplasm more key word counters. Then you draw a load of cards
That was my biggest problem is that they do require stuff in the graveyard, and indominus rex is at 4 different kinds of pips, making it harder to get out. But in different builds, they can be great!
I was trying to build indominus a way i could abbuse its self mill and draw. This way i could deck out and win with something like Oracle or jace. That was interesting but idk if going all in on that will do any good
Actually, just go all in on the Dredge mechanic! You can discard any creature with your commander, even if it doesn't have a keyword. You can use that to get more Dredge creatures into the grave. While you're dredging you may also hit other dredge cards to mill yourself even more. Then you can use a Thassa Deep-Dwelling or Conjurer's Closet during your end step to dredge even more. You can use Hermit Druid and Dread Return to pull off Oracle. Then you can use flashback, aftermath, Escape, Eternalize, Retrace. Songs of the Damned ends up being stupid good too. Use Tortured Existence to always have a good keyword creatures in your hand and the dredge creatures in grave. You could even run the Grist, Metallic Mimic, Agatha's Soul Cauldron combo.
@Master26Productions I was wanting to go with flicker but there seems to be a lack of etb creatures with keywords. Mostly blue flying creatures with a few black deathtouchers. I think reanimate and clones might be the best way. I would still use Thassa, deep-dwelling since it has a keyword and the option to reset your hand with the commander.
Doesn’t the “as xx enters the battlefield” mean the counters are applied while the card is still a spell? The wording on these cards can be really confusing.
Yeah, these effects will enter the battlefield simultaneously. So it enters with 5 different counters then draw 5 cards. Hopefully thats what you were asking about haha
It has the counters as it enters and then the draw trigger goes on the stack. You can respond to the draw trigger to add more counters to it. The number of cards you draw is determined at resolution of the etb.
What kind of dinosaur did Wizards cook up in that lab
I agree this was a movie doe the books and the indominus rex was a great villan. Glad to see it in the sultai color combination
Yeah I would say the sultai color combo is pretty fitting! I would agree!

I still love this movie. #2 of the 6
That is for me, too! Of course, nothing can beat the first one!
I'm going more of a flicker way with the deck as well as reanimate.
Nice! Good luck with your deck building process!
Ooh, interesting ideas.
Thats win more. Voltron is the correct way
@@aklepatzky I feel like it's more of a win less, lol. But more fun.
Pulled this in my bundle at pre-release and can't wait to brew a commander deck around it. Hold onto your butts!
Oooh, cloning AND reanimate. And I can have both Growth Spiral and Desthsprout in the same deck, tempting tempting.
I like this card, but I think I'm leaning more towards the Indoraptor
I just built Rayami like two days before this card was revealed, haven't even played it yet. Thinking of using Indominus as a backup plan maybe. will have to experiment with it
Its definitely worth the try to test it out
This and the Indoraptor makesme want to build a dinosaur deck.
You forgot about that sweet Goldberry tech to move the counters around. That way everyone gets keywords.
That one is a good one! How could I forget!
You should check out The auton soldier, could be alot of card draw with it and potentially 5 indominus rex stomping at you opponents 😊
Since it's a call back to Ikoria's ability counters, going off of the person who mentioned Goldberry. Couldn't the double counters apply to this as well as Ozolith?
I'm excited to pitch my whole hand and windmill slam living death
It's funny that to my knowledge it can't currently get Double Strike in Edh lol
You see correct as I tried searching in those colors, no double strike exist that can be discarded, only artifact equipments sadly. But maybe with the new sets they'll change that
Yeah, I tried researching and coulding find anything. So sad haha. But there's hope for the future!
I'd be shocked if we don't get one in Ixalan
Wizard Class? If you are drawing a bunch of cards when it ETBs you might as well pump it to be a commander damage threat.
I know its the new spice. But doesnt this just go in the 99 of Mimeoplasm?
Keyword soup counters. Recoup ur hand. And +1/+1 counters. Perfect!!!
Definitely can! Fills the graveyard for your mimeoplasm! Good combination together!
@PubStompMTG ye. He does both. He can just be Hardcast. But I mean, but IRA into the bin, then cast The Mimeoplasm >>>he becomes IRA and gets +1/+1counters from the big Timmy chonker that is also binned.

Does Indominus Rex gets Toxic or Annihilator when we discard cards with that keyword?
No unfortunately its only the key words on indominus rex
IT CAN CAMOUFLAGE
🥹👌
Do you think the mimeoplasm could work in the deck
Yes! I do have it in the decklist. It's great!
This deck should have The Ozolith in it!
Completely forgot about that one! Thank for for mentioning it!
What about soulflayer and Urborg Scavengers? Very similar text could fit well but does require stuff in graveyard
That was my biggest problem is that they do require stuff in the graveyard, and indominus rex is at 4 different kinds of pips, making it harder to get out. But in different builds, they can be great!
What's the likelihood of Indominus Raptor as a legendary creature? I really am interested in it, though I like this card too
The Indoraptor could potentially be a legendary. It's all going to be based on the jurassic world. So there's a decent possibility
I was trying to build indominus a way i could abbuse its self mill and draw. This way i could deck out and win with something like Oracle or jace. That was interesting but idk if going all in on that will do any good
That was something I was considering too but it may not work the greatest. But its worth testing
Maybe something with Stinkweed Imp, displacer kitten?

Use Tortured Existence to always have a good keyword creatures in your hand and the dredge creatures in grave.

Going hard on reanimate/clone to recur the ETB might be the way

I think reanimate and clones might be the best way. I would still use Thassa, deep-dwelling since it has a keyword and the option to reset your hand with the commander.
I dont't think cloning will be very good since you don't clone the counters on the permanent...
And just now I realise that you will get the ETB again, too...
Doesn’t the “as xx enters the battlefield” mean the counters are applied while the card is still a spell? The wording on these cards can be really confusing.
Yeah, these effects will enter the battlefield simultaneously. So it enters with 5 different counters then draw 5 cards. Hopefully thats what you were asking about haha
I thought that because the counters were applied before it enters the card draw doesn’t happen? Or am I mistaken?
@@RichardQuorvisGardner yes youll draw the cards because the counters are applied before
It has the counters as it enters and then the draw trigger goes on the stack. You can respond to the draw trigger to add more counters to it. The number of cards you draw is determined at resolution of the etb.
So Mighty Emergence would work on it? Interesting.
Liked the video, gave som ideas, but you should take a breath inbetween sentences ;)
if it aint pure tribal i aint playing it.
Are you able to give him infect?
Tained strike will do that!
i really dont like the world movies personally
