    Charismatic Conqueror making 1/1's with lifelink in a vampire aristocrats deck does a lot of work.
    Butcher of malakir, grave pact, dictate of erebos -- any of these you can clear opposing boards with a sac outlet
    Zulaport cutthroat, wispdrinker vampire, cruel celebrant, blood artist, cordial vampire, falkenrath noble, etc. etc. all deal damage to opponents and recover life for you for entry/death and Sanctum Seeker declaring a bunch of attackers can put significant dents in life totals.
    Welcoming vampire will get you cards on other peoples turns with it.
    Elenda the dusk rose, Elenda's hierophant - both grow off those 1/1's either swinging or dying and lead to many if not most board wipes becoming one-sided board wipes in the vampire player's favor.
    Teysa Karlov will double most of these effects.
    Using them as token 1/1 attackers like it's a green deck is not why it's a highly desired card.

    Charismatic Conqueror doesn't even work with Hylda, as the opponent is doing the tapping, not 'you' the Hylda player. It really is great in incremental lifegain though. It's a monster in Amalia.

      It's also not 35$ lol. It's 20-25$ on tcg, it's probably only 35$ if you're spending the premium on card kingdom. Sure you get your cards faster, but they're always more expensive than the actual market for them.

    Look. Enduring curiosity is a creature. Tutorable. Copyable. Volo include, token include, you can offspring it, you can rites of replication it after making a token of it. You can exile it and create a token of it as a zombie. And it always comes back as the enchantment so you have one more turn cycle at least with drawing tons of cards

  • @21shadows21
    @21shadows21 14 часов назад +10

    Berserk is great in a green deck that runs mana dorks that tap for mana equal to power! Such as Raggadragga or Sylvala decks. The potential for removal is just a bonus.

    • @21shadows21

      I use it as a combo piece with eternal witness in chatterfang. Saw the e wit, make a bunch of tokens, bring saw back and e wit, rinse repeat. Definitely not for every deck, but I think it's very strong in decks with combo lines

  • @Hypervalence
    @Hypervalence 14 часов назад +3

    Enduring Curiosity in Alela decks is very strong, imo. The fact it's an enchantment and a creature means you get two creatures for one with Alela out. And since both Alela and the faeries she generates have flying, it's almost always going to draw you many cards. Obviously, Reconaissance Mission or Bident provide nearly the same effect, but depending how your Alela deck operates, having one more effect like this that's also on a creature might be worth the price point for you.

    I agree on the Doubling Season take unless as mentioned planeswalker, or a Commander like Baylen, the Haymaker who cares about tokens and +1/+1 counter on himself. Doubling Season accelerates Baylen like crazy. Hey instead of 5 tokens I make 10 and I tap 9 of them and instead of 9 +1/+1 counters, he gets 18 of those , which leads usually to a quick death of one opponent. You really want to utilize both parts of doubling season to make it worth it imo

  • @thewheelsman29
    @thewheelsman29 4 часа назад

    Fwiw, Doubling Season is realistically the third best planeswalker card because it doesn't double counters from ability activation like Vorinclex and Innkeeper's both do. I think Doubling's value is more in the number of decks that it works in than the level of strength that it provides. There are better token doublers and counter doublers but there's really only one other card that does both and it's symmetrical.

  • @RazorDevil1
    @RazorDevil1 13 часов назад +3

    charismatic conqueror is funny. because it goes infinite with itself if 2 players have one on the field. and thats hella frustrating when both players agree to make 1000 1/1's for fun.
    there was also a situation where conqueror and marneus calgar were both on the field. and someone had xyris out, the xyris player would make a snake every time the marneus player drew a card. he chose to not make his snake come in tapped, the marneus player was forced to draw, eventually drawing out his whole deck and losing.
    honestly conqueror is toxic as well, im so sick of being stopped midplay over and over and over again, "does he come in tapped?" just annoying imo.

  • @marcoottina654
    @marcoottina654 7 часов назад

    I guess "Scorched Ruins" could be ok if you have a 60- cards Tron deck, where eithin turn 2 you have a "play 2+ more lands each turn" and in turn 3 you have a "Vedalken Orrery" in your hand. That way uou could sacrifice 2 Urza lands, put the S.R., play the orrery, re-play the lands and have a ton of mana on turn 4
    ....
    ... If you'll survive until turn 4

    @christopherwismann6305 12 часов назад

    Enduring curiosity is definitely worth it! The fact that it has flash and it protects itself against removal in the case that you use it during combat means it has to be removed twice to get rid of the effect. It should be an auto include to any blue creature based deck.

    All these prices seem to be only according to card kingdom. For example saw in half is 11$ on card kingdom but 7.50$ on TCG player. When they are talking about expensive cards don't take their word for it and do market research. Charismatic conqueror is not 35$ I got one for around 12$ about a month ago..if you keep a price on stuff usually tcgplayer but I've used other sites too you get some pretty good discounts

Blind obedience is a completely different card with completely different applications.

    I actually agree with you guys on Charismatic Conqueror. It's not that good. Definitely not 35 dollars good. Probably 1 dollar good. I will say it's worth it in Bennie Bracks Zoologist just because it can proc at instant speed and draw cards and it is only a 2 mana investment. Even if opponents always choose tapped they can only get away with low amounts of blockers for so long against a tokens build.

    • @hobez64

      Besides they're comparing it to pure stax and also with Edgar. Both areas he's not meant for. He's like Pseudo stax but his main benefit imo is aristocrats where you don't care if you get the 1/1 or they tap their thing. Hell 90% of the time I wish they wouldn't tap because I want the 1/1 more than I care about them ramping one turn earlier.

    "I hate giving people a choice" is such a tired argument. Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe also give your opponents "a choice" and they're allstars.
    One can make arguments for why this or that card in particular is bad but just saying "it gives your opponent a choice, so they'll always chose the worst option for you" isn't a real argument against a cards strength, just a warning/disclaimer. Again, Rhystic Study exists so obviously there's more nuance. A lot of people are liking Seize the Spotlight too, so apparently there is sweet spot ,design and power wise, for cards that give your opponents a choice.
    It's always about finding the right spot, where either mode chosen will make you happy.

    • @JoeyDCote
      @JoeyDCote 4 часа назад +1

      Yeah, I agree. It's a low mana play and has so much upside that the opponent's choice, especially when there are 3, isn't really a drawback. The card would be OP if there wasn't a choice. I think the card is nicely balanced and still strong.

I would love to hear what the better two drop vampires are because this one gets you a lot of confusion and potentially advantage and resource for a drop that also gives you an extra body as soon as it hits the field, thanks to Edgar.

      Scorched Ruins has errata, similar to Lotus Vale, where if you don't sac the lands it never even hits the battlefield, so you can't skip the trigger with Obeka or any Stifle effects

      @@NitpickingNerdssorry, I was basing that on how the ability on the card is written. It was changed in the rulings. I figured it would work the same as bounce lands with obeka

      "If you already have 3 copies of Boseiju, may it's not worth buying a 4th?"
      How about having a copy and then make a proxy copy for your second, third,.... decks if you need to have a copy for your playgroup.
      If you cant use proxies at all, find new pods.....
