Shilgengar + Solemnity. Sacrifice your entire board of creatures to generate six blood tokens, sacrifice those to the demon to bring them all back, and Solemnity prevents the finality counters to allow you to do it again.
@@pauljimerson8218 Emrakul told everyone they were gonna like her cookies, regardless of their actual feelings. Ulamog's cookies were already eaten due to his ceaseless hunger. And Kozilek's cookies were good but were kind of hard. Almost as hard as something like Bismuth.
You mention that detective's phoenix can only bestow from the graveyard. It can bestow from the hand, and that can absolutely just send in a lot of damage out of nowhere from your hand.
My dream game from this set Turn 1: Land, 1 mana creature, flare of cultivation Turn 2: Land, Eldrazi Repurposer/3 mana ramp creature Turn 3: Land, emerge Herigast Erupting Nullkite, emerge kozilek
I think you're misunderstanding Abstruse Appropriation. You can only use colorless mana as if it were any color to cast the exiled spell. So if you're black/white and all you have are plains and swamps, and the card you exiled isn't white/black, then you can't cast it.
I agree, it definitely shouldn't be number 2 on the list. If you're behind on board and their best thing is a 2/2 flyer, thats what you get from the spell. And, as you say, you need colorless to cast the spell, so if its multicolored then you need those colors or more than one colorless source to cast what you removed
I don't think it's worth mentioning. Between things that create eldrazi spawn and mana rocks that tap for colorless I feel like you can easily build around it if you don't have wastes.
I'm actually a bit surprised titan's vanguard didn't at least get an honorable mention. I think I'd first pick it over even some of the cards in your top 10. Also I'm a bit lower on abstruse appropriation cause sometimes it's gonna be tough to actually cast the thing you exile cause neither white nor black is particularly great at producing colorless mana.
Combining Herigast's emerge ability with "gain control of target creature until end of turn" effects is gonna be busted. There's a ton of card that can do that in Red
Genku seems like better Wrath protection than a bomb. It's never bad but mid game a creature that dies and makes a 1/1 or a 2/2 is decent. Wraths are Bru rare in limited.
Looks like the direction of Modern Horizons is actually "Put a face and stats on every single name, item, location, character moment, group and event in the Magic Story."
Crazy that a set with another Emrakul & Ulamog is powerful enough to not have either be a top 10 bomb or even an honorable mention. Haven't played MTG since Aftermath, but really looking forward to trying to draft this set!
good video, i love your content, but do you think adding "for limited" to the title would have been more helpful and precise? i know most of your content is centered around limited, but i clicked on the video wondering if you were talking about more than just limited due to the title (which may be have been the point, idk)
WowAbstruse Appropriation is just Utter End from Khans block with 2 upsides. It has devoid so it gets around protection from white n black (not that protection shows up very often anymore but for older formats that helps) n u get to cast the thing u exile at any point in the future without neededing the right colours of mana. Power creep is insane.
I gotta disagree with obstruse appropriation. Oftentimes you will exile cards that you don't have the color mana for and the orzhov deck doesn't play eldrazi so it doesn't have much of a reason to include colorless mana lands
crabomination still exiles a card from their hand even if it doesn't end up being the card u cast, so it's always a 3 for 1 unless they have no cards in hand, or you exile 3 lands
I honestly hate this set from what I've seen. Power leap combined with a ridiculous price and commander precons I just have zero interest in buying from this set.
They need to ban this set in commander! Once we get searchers we will hit Yugioh levels of power creep and make every deck an otk. That's why I stopped playing yugioh years back. Now it's coming for mtg. Commander is about fun.
I think the card flip animation could be improved to be smoother, and to have double-faced cards flip into their other face rather than a Magic back.
Shilgengar + Solemnity.

I find your lack of Eldrazi disturbing. We have cookies in the blind eternities.
Did you do it all for them though?

They were used to pay Emrakul’s _”Emerge”_ cost with onboard Herigast.
Yeah, I'm forcing an Eldrazi deck at least once in this format.
Colourless bitches

Ah yes, I didn't mean to say you could only bestow it out of the graveyard, but that you can only get it back from the graveyard by bestowing it.

Is the mana produced by Wastes colorless?
@@TheLuminousCleric yes

Crabomination is definitely going in a deck where I can use cheap blink effects.
Nice. Can’t wait for this. I love talking about limited bombs.
Coming to this a month later and seeing Nadu only @ #7 after how it dominated the PT
'Esper nonsense is not real, it can't hurt you'
Anna Kennerud: 2 ☀️💧💀, hello, here I aaam!
Talking about a card's floor / ceiling is a helpful analagy.

Shrieking drake is in the set too. That's basically "pay UUU" get one of each on your turn lol

i will play this set until i cast a free crabomination from my opponent

Not in *limited*
Man I'd love Shilgengar for the Mardu vampire deck I have going
How many times will the Crabomination just exile 2 lands?

I hope Nizzahon is able to stick with Midnight CT. The 1am releases was throwing me off.

He only picked Crabomination cuz it has "bom" in it's name
crabomination still exiles a card from their hand even if it doesn't end up being the card u cast, so it's always a 3 for 1 unless they have no cards in hand, or you exile 3 lands
CraBOMBination. It has to be it.
Your number 2 shouldn't be on the list. It's usually just a 4 mana removal.
Yes, I addressed this in a more recent video. I misread it.
I am not saying crabomination is a reference to Obama.

Cedh has always had otks.
Casual commander just generally has an unspoken rule that you don’t do that. Not really any reason for a ban.
@-ZH yeah, rule 0 in most games of non cEDH is no wins before turn 5. So plenty of time to build, hopefully.
