    Can't believe you missed the point of Jester's Mask and Head Games. In 1v1, sure they are an expensive effect to replace your opponents hand with lands. But in a multiplayer game, they are some of the most fun you can have. If one player is starting to dominate the boardstate, rather than target their hand, you can load someone else's hand up with answers to deal with that player, with pretty good political benefit too!

      After learning of Panglacial Wurm from Tolarian Community College I made a casual-play deck based on it. It is not a *good* deck, but it is a fun deck. It is basically mono-green ramp, mana dorks, the Wurms, and a few buffing artifact equipments. Never even thought about Selvala...
      But in a casual-play group it is a bit fun to do the cheeky, "Oh look, while I was searching for a land I found this Wurm; I think I'll play it."

    I don't know if the video explained it well enough, but it's not only that there weren't any Riggers or Contraptions when Steamflogger Boss came out. "Assemble" also didn't mean anything. They made a card that when it came out and for years was support for something that didn't exist! That was completely crazy.

Also, surprised goblin game isnt on here, as a card that asks to hide objects, on a black bordered card nonetheless.

    Serum powder is actually played in vintage bazaar of baghdad straight up for its extra mulligans effect. The deck basically just wins if it opens the bazaar (I mean, not really, vintage is a powerful format) so it often mulligans downs to 1 card just to look for a copy of bazaar in the starting hand. Serum powder just gives them extra look at those.

    I love that story about Chaos Orb, and always remembered hearing it as far back as I was playing, around when 5th edition came out. I thought it was unique too until I found Falling Star, a red sorcery from Legends that works like Chaos Orb, only it does damage and taps the creatures it affects. I think it's even weirder than the orb, because it's more obscure and the card is red and taps creatures. It seems like a blue effect, or at least izzet, although they didn't print any multicolored instants or sorceries in that set.

    In the realm of Shared Fate, there is also Knowledge Pool. The main difference is that Knowledge pool basically results in both players playing both decks. There's also some funky rulings about having multiple Knowledge pools in play.

  • @DeadlyGrim
    @DeadlyGrim Год назад +4

    Dreams of the Dead has a small niche in Commander decks with a blink theme. When you blink the creature, it gets exiled -- and Dreams is like "okay, my job is done" and it doesn't care about the fact that it's brought back from exile. In addition, when the creature blinks in, it's a new object so it no longer has the cumulative upkeep.
    It's a lot of hoops to jump through, but if you've got repeatable blink, might as well bring in some repeatable reanimation for 2 as well.

  • @Juggernautohyeah
    @Juggernautohyeah Год назад +1

    Dreams of the dead actually seems really good for azorius or esper blink shenanigans due to blink being able to get around the exile clause of Dreams (like how blink works with Unearth) and thus removing the cumulative upkeep as well.

    Divine Intervention is not the only card effect that can make the game a draw.

    The reason why "Riding the Dilu Horse" is expensive is because Portal 3 Kingdoms never got a western release. The only way you could get English copies was their limited release in Australia.

    I'm not sure if any of this is weird enough to make the list, but there's a bunch of fun stuff from Planar Chaos like
    - blue targeted edict anything, but it takes 3 turns unless you're tricky (reality acid)
    - blue discard that depends on how much mana you can pump into it (venarian glimmer)
    - blue semi-random +X/-X (erratic mutation)
    - permanent destruction in white (saltblast)
    - bully counterspell in black (dash hopes)
    - black remove soul, but it's worded like creature kill (cradle to grave)
    - black act of treachery something out of your opponent's hand (treacherous urge)
    - a red burn spell that kills anything that dies to damage, but also hurts you, but if it hurts you enough you can pay to keep it as a 6/5 (volcano hellion)
    - a fungus payoff whose p/t equal the number of +1/+1 counters on your creatures (fungal behemoth)
    - a sliver that puts all your other slivers to sleep but turns them into draw spells (dormant sliver)

    Jesters mask (at least according to the rules), does let you look at what your opponent had in hand before you activated it. There is no instruction to shuffle the library between when they put their hand on top and when you search, and the rues do not allow you to reorder a library while you are searching. So assuming you were smart enough to note how many cards they had in hand, you know exactly what their hand was, because it will be the top X cards of their library when you perform your search.
    To be fair, this is a pretty uncommon rule to have come up and actually matter...mainly only doing so in the context of a card that probably *should* have made this list, Panglacial Wurm.

    Not arguing that shared fate is bad, but youz missed a significant option:
    Combo deck
    Only play shared fate as a combo peice when you can for example remove your entire library from the game with leveler for example.
    That way you get to adjust and your opponent just doesn't get new cards.
    They (or you) don't immediately lose because shared fate replaces the draw, but it is not a draw. Which indeed makes it still bad as combos that expensive can almost outright win the game or give an advantage with less risk.

    I strongly disagree with riding being number 4. I can find many cards with unmarked permanent changes. Fated return give unmarked indestructible, Tree of Perdition can switch it's toughness forever and breach the mutiverse show that it still come up today. Hell, it not even the first card to do this. Alpha has the lace cycle, cards that change the colour of spells or permanents without end of turn riders.

      Honestly the strangest part about that card to me is how it straight up references a real historical figure in the flavor text. Possibly because in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms setting and it's derivatives it's extremely common to actually focus on the leaders of the three kingdoms as characters.
      But still I haven't seen another MTG card like that before, although I'm not a huge MTG player so it's entirely possible I'm just unaware.

    l have to say, "Shared Fate" to me seems better than how you make it out to be, since it's actually a replacement effect for card draw.
    In fact you could draw your entire library, then play Shared Fate. Since you have no cards in your library, your opponent wouldn't be able to exile anything to play, and because you can't draw from your actual deck you wouldn't lose by milling yourself.
    ls this strong? Not by a long shot, it's a very roundabout way of winning by self-milling when there are plenty of other cards that do this in a much easier way and for less mana.

    Wanna really make a game confusing. Have 2 Timetwisters in play; Each upkeep to extra turns get assigned; on the first extra turn 2 more get assigned, then because they are newer, the prior extra turn is waiting for its turn etc. Its fine until the time sifters leave play, once they do, there are pile of extra turns waiting to resolve and you would have needed to keep track of them all.

  • @Metallicity

    Dreams of the Dead was actually more of a bend than a break. While you can cast and activate it for only blue mana, it "required" you to play a black or white deck, the two colors that were allowed to reanimate creatures. Much like spells and abilities that require you to control a particular basic land type, or costs of exiling a card of a given color from hand, paying mana of a given color is not the exclusive way to enforce the color pie. The card does nothing in a monoblue deck, forcing you to splash for a color is allowed reanimation, or at the very least fill your deck with uncastable white or black creatures. Though in general WotC avoids these sorts of designs nowadays, mainly because it confuses new players about what the various colors can and can't do.

    • @lachlanmcgowan5712

      The thing is though, if you are playing a U/B or U/W deck and you want to reanimate creatures, you have much better choices within B and W to reanimate things. Dreams of the Dead will eat all your mana, since cumulative upkeep 2 is a huge disadvantage. You could just play Animate Dead and save yourself the hassle.

    • @Metallicity

      @@lachlanmcgowan5712 Repeatable reanimation, especially at such a cheap rate, is definitely not so easy to find in any color, and cumulative upkeep doesn't really matter if you reanimate multiple 7+ mana creatures with broken ETB triggers or w/e. Also combos extremely effectively with blink effects (bypasses the exile clause and removes the cumulative upkeep), so you can do dumb things like bringing back Yorion + Charming Prince to repeatedly blink your entire board without losing either of those pieces to exile. Hardly a Legacy staple, but probably underplayed in Commander just by virtue of no one realizing it exists.
