Invasion of Mercadia: Tormenting Voice's Game Ending Cousin! (EDH Hidden Gems)
In this episode, I look at the mundane world of basic red rummage effects, but with a twist. Invasion of Mercadia is unique in that it's both rare card type and it's hiding a secret which might just well win you the game if not taken seriously! Will you risk the Kyren's flames?

Eidolon of Astral Winds: A Second Sigil of the Empty Throne!? (EDH Hidden Gem)

This week on EDH Hidden Gems, I'm going surprisingly relevant with a card from the current most recent set Foundations... Jumpstart!

Welcome to my last monthly update to my little 2024 Magic video journal series thing. It's been a fun little project, this, but now that 2025 has rolled around, I'm switching things up a bit.

    A few cards I would recommend for any commander that churns out soldiers. Knight Captain of Eos- Comes with 2 soldiers on ETB and lets you paw a W and sac a soldier to fog. Rescue Retriever- Has flash, puts a +1/+1 counter on each soldier you control AND prevents all damage that would be done to other attacking soldiers you control. Catapult Master- Tap 5 soldiers to exile a creature Skystrike Officer- Makes a soldier on attack AND you can tap 3 soldiers to draw a card Harbin, Vanguard Aviator- Whenever you attack with 5+ soldiers, creatures you control get +1/+1 and flying until EOT

    Running it flavorfully in a sea monsters deck. The downside of leviathans and giant squid is that they're slow, but flash gives them a superiour haste. With this fish in play, your opponents will fear the depth of your mana pool for the creatures it hides.

    They work exceedingly well with commanders like Krenko Tin Street Kingpin and Anim Pakal who want to get huge, need the protection anyway, and benefit from the keywords.

    @zackkelley2940 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've been considering these for a 5c extra upkeeps deck. I got the 5 Bringer creatures and I am damn well going to use them in SOMETHING. Probably Jodah, Archmage Eternal.

  • @zackkelley2940
    @zackkelley2940 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The biggest problem with running Jasmine Boreal in the 99 isn't finding ways to make vanilla tokens (PLENTY of those) but rather AVOIDING global effects that give your token creatures abilities (thereby losing the 'can't be blocked' from Jasmine Boreal). The tricky part is giving your token creatures abilities (you REALLY don't want to be stuck with a bunch of vanilla creatures if Jasmine gets removed) without actually giving them abilities (you ALSO want to be able to take advantage of the 'can't be blocked' from Jasmine). I present to you Baylen who gives you three VERY useful things to do with your token creatures... that don't actually give them abilities. He also gives you access to the single source of haste that doesn't actually give your creatures the haste ability....Frenzied Saddlebrute. Other examples include: Catapult Master- Tap 5 soldiers to exile a creature (Addendum, this is actually a cycle of creatures that read 'Tap 5 X: Payoff) Devout Chaplain- Tap 2 humans to exile an artifact or enchantment Nullmage Shepherd-Tap 4 creatures to destroy an artifact or enchantment Kyren Negotiations- Tap a creature to ping a player or planeswalker Reconnaisance- Gives all your creatures pseudo vigilance without giving them vigilance Prosperous Partnership- Tap 3 creatures to make a treasure Halo Fountain- Untap some number of creatures to make a citizen, draw a card or win the game

  • @zackkelley2940
    @zackkelley2940 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Quick PSA. Most cost reducers only reduce the GENERIC costs. You need something like Birgi for the red. I would also add that there IS a card that can reduce the buyback cost.... Memory Crystal. It's great in spellslinger, no question, but put this in a jeskai deck and it goes completely off the rails. Not only does this trigger all your 'magecraft' stuff, it ALSO triggers all the 'cast a non-creature spell' stuff.

  • @zackkelley2940
    @zackkelley2940 หลายเดือนก่อน

    it certainly has it's uses outside of the usual suspects (Hazezon and Yuma) but I should point out the "only triggers once each turn" clause. Have you considered cards such as Seismic Assault or Land's Edge to get extra triggers?

  • @guilhermegomieri9009
    @guilhermegomieri9009 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @andrewpeli9019
    @andrewpeli9019 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tidal Barracuda is a tough sell. If it was 3 CMC, then I'd find an occasional home for it, but at 4 mana you have so many other similiar effects that don't have an upside for opponents. It's an awkward card because the best part of opponent's not being able to cast spells on your turn is that they can't counter your spells. But if you're using the second line of text on the card, you aren't taking advantage of the first line of text on the card.

  • @zackkelley2940
    @zackkelley2940 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Don't forget that you can still cast stuff on your opponent's turns (albeit without the protection).

  • @DRAKLOR_44

    I tell you one thing only: Tidal Barracuda + Dream Halls in my Temur storm deck(Bjorna Elmar). Before i had that combo i just played the fish alone in Zaxara X spell tribal to protect my elbow tap turns. Its a really easy slot in any deck that likes to do storm turns or flash speed stuff as well.

    • @zackkelley2940

      Doesn't work unfortunately. Phabine gives your creature tokens haste. Keyword abilities are, by definition, still abilities.

  • @stevecampbell9670
    @stevecampbell9670 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I throw in quite a few non vanilla creatures, nearly half actually. I recommend Trostani, Three Whispers so that you can hand out double-strike after blockers are declared. Combo that with an inquisitor's flail and you are laughing.

    Delney has similar small creature evasion which is effective in token strategies, in a slimmer color identity, as another option.

    So, about storm avoiding Counters, thats only if you already have the storm count to get the win with one cast, right? Because countering the original still fizzles the buyback, so if they're trying to go infinite or even just need to do it twice, it's not coming back.

    • @scrap-ironsteve9605
      @scrap-ironsteve9605 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Very true. That being said, this shouldn't ever be the first card you cast in a turn if you plan on casting anything but Haze. When using this as a simple Overrun and not looping it, make sure to get your Storm count up first, it makes the card much much stronger
