It means it can be sacrificed, die in combat, or be removed by your opponents. Discarding isn’t dying but everything else will still trigger the ability.

That seems like a good fit. It’s probably for the best it only draws cards when it’s cast though or you may be drawing your entire deck every game.

Yeah, that's what Astral Dragon and Coveted Jewel are for!

I’m a big fan of both of those cards. I bet they do tons of work in Abuelo.

Oops! I did the last bit of editing with no sound so I must have mixed up the two Tinybones. But yeah, Paul popped off and was tough to stop.

Yeah, I actually struggled to say that line a few times, it was like a tongue twister for some reason.

I did what I could

Mono black storm sounds like a sweet deck.

I like that. I had also considered some phasing so you could phase out the Grimoire before taking a hit. Bouncing it does let you recast it and draw 5 new cards though. 🤔

Jace is in the deck already but Thoracle didn’t make the cut for budget purposes. Definitely both necessary though.

Thanks!

The Greatwurm is so good, I’ll definitely get some use out of it.

It really was! The Greatwurm in particular is a menace if it’s allowed to stick around.

True. But that’s why you usually aim to put the auras on your opponents things, doubling up Eriette’s ability.

@DungeonLearnersGuide unfortunately in my group, I get attacked when I enchant opponent creatures and ignored when I enchant my own. Even with the same auras....

That’s why Eriette’s the commander though, she prevents your opponents creatures from attacking you if you enchant them. Regardless, if you do enchant your own creatures and still want Delney to work then you can just make sure you don’t enchant Eriette so her ability still doubles.

Glad you could join for it! 😊

Yeah, there aren’t supposed to be any basics so Hermit Druid can mill the entire deck. I was just running out of cheap non basic land options at the time. There’s been plenty of decent ones printed since then that could easily replace the two you mentioned.

Very true! I like those inclusions.

Oh, Archelos won, nice

Ezuri put in the work though, so that was a fair guess. It basically took a 3v1 to take it down. Archelos did a great job of cleaning up.

Archelos put in some work in this game. Like I said, it felt more like a control deck than I expected. It was pretty cool.

Thank you, I’m also looking forward to number 200! And I’m also more than happy to build around Swans of Bryan Argoll, that’s one of my favorite kinds of decks. I’ll be honest, though, it will probably take it a while before the deck shows up on the channel since I work so far in advance.

@@DungeonLearnersGuide no worries at all, I'm sure you have plenty to work through. I think I'm going to try the swans in my Faramir deck.

I can definitely look into it! I will admit, though, I have a Rakdos reanimate/unearth deck coming up with a different Mishra that has Tamer of Mak Fawa in it so that may be similar to what you’re looking for.

@@DungeonLearnersGuide Awesome, I've been fine tuning a deck for it likewise. Sticking to the theme of unearth/reanimate, so would be great to see your take on it.

Fair. I was still pretty new to making videos when this was done.

That sounds like a sweet idea for a deck! Leyline always causes a little chaos.

I can only hope.

That was the one that stuck out to me too.

Portal Manipulator is such a good card and I should definitely be playing it more.

That’s awesome!

Each creature has at least one unique type so 44 total creatures with a couple with two types puts it around 50.

You’re so right, I always forget about Riptide but it’s such a good include for any deck that cares about a Wizard.

Nothing wrong with that, someone has to be first.

I think it would be a really good addition. I completely forgot that Zevlor’s ability applied to creatures and not just players or I would’ve included him.

Love it, staying on theme. 🐢

Glad you think so! I really enjoyed this deck, it’s heavily based on a version I have in my actual collection.

Interesting. I can see that making you a target in a game. That’s mainly why I figured the deck would lean heavily on Eldrazi tokens too, it shores up the weakness of not drawing other experience counter creatures.

Yeah, they’re some of the creature types that are almost entirely exclusive to tokens (like Saproling and Servo).

We got a legendary Saproling this year, so that's one less that's exclusive to tokens!

Huh? We don’t need any of these. You play and generate tokens by casti g other eldrazi or other effects. I own a 30,000$ version of this deck. And its pwr 9.6 this comment is just plain misleading. Def does just fine.

Other than bragging about your unnecessarily expensive deck, I’m not sure what your comment has to do with the original one?

Oh definitely! If you can get X to be enough then it could win the game on the spot.

@ thinking of sliding in a battle hymn and mana geyser to get big mana going along with the commanders

I like that plan. More mana makes it easier to copy the Mogg the turn it comes down.

@@DungeonLearnersGuidetotally just ordered this deck! Made a couple additions.. Rulik Mons, Warren Chief (can make more goblin/ramp) anchor to Reality (equipment tutor for assault suit) Skirk Prospector (if we have a big goblin board and need more mana) Doppelgang, Battle Hymn and had a skull clamp from a precon I took apart.. could help get a ton of mana from Kydele!

Awesome! I hope the deck works out for you. I’m always happy to see my ideas get upgraded for games.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. There’s definitely some improvements that can be made now that OTJ is out but it’s still a pretty solid deck.

I’m glad you liked it! I really enjoyed playing it. I think it’s one of those decks that can be really aggressive but it can be susceptible to board wipes so I think its power depends on how often your play group wipes the board.

@@DungeonLearnersGuidefor some reason I’m not seeing this deck list on the spreadsheet. Do you know what # it is on there?

The deck list should be the very first link in the video description but in case it’s not working it’s right here: scryfall.com/@13poynz/decks/27c7e5ab-5755-489c-a999-fa247efd5811

That is very true. And it’s a lot cheaper now than it was when I built the deck. I think it’s only like $16 now.

Mazemind Tome is such a cool card, I’d be happy to build a deck with it! It may take a while for it to show up on the channel but I’ll definitely get to it. 😊

I’d probably automatically re-roll it because it would be way over budget (or banned depending on the card) but I’ve done cards that were ~$90 before so if it came close then it would still work. Or maybe I’d just build around it for a Monday video instead of the usual Friday Commander’s Guild just for fun.
