    Hinata should be a 10 on uniqueness. This is what Wizards should be doing - this card creates decks that are unheard of and totally different than any other deck using a good number of cards never seen anywhere else in EDH. Fun obviously takes a hit due to the tax ability. Power, is very high, but not so high as you'd think, because the deck is completely dependent on Hinata being on the board (idk if you consider that for this)... Taking out Hinata turns off everything, and there are fewer cards with insane results than you would imagine. For me, coolness is through the roof - but obviously that is individual.

    Hey Joe! The ingenious, inventive, and adorable rat from Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers was named "Gadget". And I agree with you, the artwork for Greasefang is very visually reminiscent of her character. I thought the same when I first saw it, but I certainly did not expect to find synchronicity in that specific little nostalgia on your channel! It's a pleasant surprise.

  • @MrNoob_11
    @MrNoob_11 2 года назад +10

    The Reality Chip is way higher than a 3 in power since anyone building the deck is more likely trying to combo with it rather than just trying to make a Future Sight value engine. The same goes for Myojin of Cryptic Dreams since you can cast clones from your hand which will gain the indestructible counter, and you can also run both Sakashimas, artifact support for Mirror Box, and proliferate effects. Chip is or is close to being cedh playable, cryptic dreams isn't near that but you can make a fun battle cruiser deck wo jumping through a bunch of hoops

    The cousins Yamazaki have a side story on the MTG website, which details most of the things you were unsure about. Satsuki is referenced in Azuza's many Jousneys. And lots of people knew aboout the divinity-counter synergies, but the Myojins were all so incredibly expensive (seven Mana should win you the game...)- except the blue one, that can be one of the best draw- spells in the game. Also, is someone else thinking about Shorikai on the head of a control-deck that regularly wipes the board and then crews the vehicles with tokens? I could see that have some legs- pun intended.

    Love y’all but you missed the mark on Shorikai (the azorius vehicle). This is arguably the best blue white commander ever printed because it is an outlet for dramatic reversal and isochron scepter combo, as well as a decent draw engine on its own right. My absolute favorite thing about this card is that it’s literally the best parity breaker on Humility in the game, which tells you a lot about me :) This card will likely see fringe cEDH play, which should warrant at least a 8 for power. The crew ability is irrelevant for how I analyze this card. I’d love a follow up on these remarks from you guys ❤️

    i've been racking my brain for the past hour trying to figure out how to make atsushi go infinite (in mono red, with him as your commander), and the only "combo" i came up with was atsushi + altar of dementia + goldspan dragon + underworld breach
    but it's not technically infinite, as it'll end once you've milled yourself and exiled it all from your yard with breach. which will just lose you the game the second you have to draw, because there isn't any labman effects in red to my knowledge. you can't mill your opponents with it because you need the cards in the yard for breach to work, making it even more restrictive. you *could* use flayer of the hatebound as a pinger (but it has a mana value of SIX) as whenever atsushi enters from the yard, it'll ping a single player for his power (4). you'll net 2 treasures for each iteration, but the entire cost of it all and massive limitation really doesn't make up for it. just to kill one player at starting life total you have to loop it 10 times, which will mill 40 and exile 30 of those said cards with breach, and if there's any lifegain deck at the table, you're likely not going to be able to win. it's very dependent, and definitely could win the game, but your opponents would have to be low on life or at least on the way to being low, you'd have to have most of your deck still in your library (somehow lmao), and not get interacted with setting it up. the total mana cost of setting it all up is way too expensive and slow, and the risk of decking yourself and not even winning is high. i suppose those treasures you get could be funneled into an X burn spell, but that just adds even more cards you need already in your hand, can be countered, could be accidentally milled and unable to get it back if it wasn't in your hand, and gives you even less cards you can exile with breach without caring that they got exiled.
    tl:dr; mono red atsushi combo is clunky and EXTREMELY dependent at best, decks you without even winning at worst. which is really not even worth playing lol. there's definitely probably something you could do outside of mono red that would likely work, but inside of just this color it's just not worth the headache.

    I actually LIKE the design for the Myojin. Because these cards I think should be legendary for the simple reason that you need to jump through other hoops if you really want more copies of them out at once. If these weren’t legendary you could make a bunch of tokens copies, mirrorweave effects etc.
    while these guys might not be the worst sounding example, as in too broken power wise.
    But some cards out there would if they weren’t legendary, yet at the same time they’re not great as a commander.
    I want wizards to print more cards like that, ones that just kind of show directly “just because a card is legendary doesn’t mean it’s intended to some cool commander”.

    I think I'll have to disagree with you on Shorikai. I feel like you got stuck on the crewing part of the card(I can understand wanting to fulfill the fantasy and all that). Being able to pay only a single mana for that effect is really really good. You not only get to draw two whole cards and discard one(which depending on how you build it could be a good thing) you also get to make a 1/1. That's a whole lot of value for only 1 colorless mana on a commander that a lot of the time dodges all forms of creature removal. There's also a bunch of stuff in azorious colors that could allow you to untap it multiple times in a single turn or even go infinate. I definetly don't think it deserves being rated below Raiyuu(in regards to its power rating) when you consider everything it offers.

    • @williamfolkesson944
      @williamfolkesson944 2 года назад

      Well there are of course the infinate combos with things like intruder alarm and a mana dork that allow you too draw your entire deck and make a bunch of 1/1's. But even without that, stuff like manifold key and other artifact untappers could allow you too draw a pretty good amount of cards. Say you untap it once, that's 4 cards plus two discards and two 1/1's. You can of course include draw doublers and such to start drawing even more cards. I've also heard that some Cedh players are looking at Polymorph lists with hullbreaker and mana positive artifacts. It can basically act as a way to find your pieces as well as act as a wincon in the command zone. It's probably not the most exciting effect but it's made good by the fact that it comes on a noncreature artifact for such a cheap activation cost. Love your videos btw!

      True enough but that also makes it fun haha. It still isn't very powerful, just a little more versatile than you might guess at first(less of a double edged sword as well).

    Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't cyclonic rift replace "target" in its text with "each" when you overload it? In that case, it no longer would target any creatures much the same way board wipes don't target creatures. Therefore, the overload cost would remain unchanged. Maybe I'm looking at it incorrectly?

    Okay, several points:
    - I dont think anyone really cares for the visual clutter or additional video-length of seeing above and below what cards something ranks, especially not on anything apart from the top ones.
    - Go-Shintai not a 10 for uniqueness? HOW?
    - Hidetsugu not in the story? You have to read the books of the original trilogy, he is the most badass character in them, although he is not too prominent.

    I kept paying more attention to the cat than I did the actual cards 🙃 In honor of this, I think you should make a tier list ranking all the cats in magic with your cat on the screen

    Raiyuu is brownskinned in both arts but one is what a black American looks like and the other is what a black Japanese person looks like (note the dreads). Sadly, a manga aesthetic is often used as an excuse to lighten people's skin tones. Similar thing happened with Birgi.

    Off the top of my head, one way you can loop atsushi is using Yawgmoth, Mikaeus, and something that makes a token when a creature dies, you’ll probably need a way to gain life too though because of yawgmoth

    I think kosei is around power 5. You have to build the deck with the ratios right but when I've gotten it going I've killed people on either turn 5 or 6. Everyone else typically dies turn 7 or 8. If he's in the 99 and you're in at least 1 more color I think he's a lot easier to set up and he could just be a secret commander. I'm gonna make a chishiro deck with him in it after I get the precon. Loved the video. Hope y'all have a great day

    The Reality Chip is ranked as the best mono Blue commander in CEDH community, right on top of Urza. There are maybe some degree of misjudge for new cards, but I still believe it is a top tier commander on power wise.

  • @dasfabelwesen

    Shorikai is one of the best commanders of kamigawa. Outlet for cepter, polymorph and it is very unique as it is not a planeswalker or a creature. It can grind, why did it get a 3?

    • @Joshbehe

  • @SuperbFairy
    @SuperbFairy Год назад

    seeing shorikai get done so dirty here was a shame, the card is a budget monstrosity - drawing 2 cards for one mana, getting stuff into the graveyard and even getting a free creature stapled on a noncreature which is harder to remove is honestly great. Shorikai doesn't even need an artifact deck, it's just a deck sifting machine

    Tameshi looks CRAZY strong. Every Into Roil effect draws a card! Unsummon becomes crazy strong! Tempo decks are usually very strong in 1v1 formats, but bad in EDH. I think this commander changes that completely and is going to end up being a boogeyman. It can just come down so earlier and prevent anyone else from setting up for so cheap. And then it's got a second line of text that's even more card advantage!! I love Azorius control, it's probably my core colors, but even I'm hesitant to play this deck for the sake of my playgroup's fun level.

    I like Shigeki because we finally have a good and proper green villian actually doing green things, who isn't working for someone.
    Green's had it good way too long in avoiding having Villians tied to their identity unless something is specifically fucked up or they're subservient, but this just will just rip out your pacemaker and tell you to deal with it. There ain't no Kami or God or Leader telling him what to do, he's just blowing up hospitals for himself.
    That kinda selfish rejection of technology and society and making it everyone else's problem is genuinely the most quintessentially green motive.
    He's not a major villian, but he's a major step forward from the typical "natural = good" trap green writing falls into.

    Shorikai is way more powerful than you guys are giving it credit for. My buddy built it and it's actually pretty powerful. Especially if you're adding in cards like Emry to discard artifacts and then getting them back. Lots of value to be had
