Alex - have you considered the “For Mirrodin!” equipments for your deck? They only make one token but some of them are real bangers and are non-creature thingies that make tokens!
1. Hexplate Wallbreaker gives extra combats to your token army! 2. Dragonwing Glider gives flying and haste! 3. Bladehold War-Whip comes down early, gives double strike, and reduce the equip costs of other equipments you have!
Imagine if it had been Puresteel Paladin instead of Sram. Puresteel triggers when equipment ETBs rather than when it is cast. So the Axes end up drawing you a ton of cards.
Since they're doing "illegal" decks by using non-commander cards, I'm wondering if they can try Puresteel Paladin as commander. I'm curious how that would work out.
I had my Ardenn and Rograkh go crazy like Balaan. I was able to get bloodforged out with a mithril plate and artifact protection. I proceeded to steamroll the playgroup in the same way. I doubt I'll ever see it go off like that again.
19:12 Eliot you should move the Greaves to the Armored Skyhunter and attack with it. If Alex tries anything against Balan you can pay 2 and get the Greaves back onto her at instant speed.
@@killa1t even if it did target it’s a may ability and activating Balan would’ve given trample so in the end it didn’t matter. Just a niche interaction/situation. Thanks for the reply though!
21:48 Your Hero's Heirloom will NOT attach to Balan from the Armored Skyhunter ability, because she has Shroud. You would need to use Brass Squire to move the Greaves off off her BEFORE the Skyhunter Ability resolves. ...or... Activate Balan's ability to magnet everything to her :)
"I prefer Brighter Signet".
Listen, Eliot, my guy. I see you, and I appreciate you. Keep it up
I like that it's both a dad joke and low key calling people out for pronouncing Dimir like dimmer
Guess the deck should be renamed "Catgirl with a million Axes"
Alex: "Also knight with a K..." *proceeds to play a card that does not make knights*
If the things I say need to make sense I'm gonna have to talk a lot less
the double-one shot kill from Balan was super cool! and the extra mana coming in from the crystal vein coming in clutch
Edit:triple!

I haven't, wanna hit me with a top 3 suggestions?
1. Hexplate Wallbreaker gives extra combats to your token army!
2. Dragonwing Glider gives flying and haste!
3. Bladehold War-Whip comes down early, gives double strike, and reduce the equip costs of other equipments you have!
For Mirrodin! seems really cool, I think they will make good utility in new Nahiri which I'm building.
@@alexmcgregor8658 I forgot Glimmer Lens which draws cards, and Kemba’s Banner which pumps based on the number of creatures!

plus, you equip all the Axes for free, even without Balan.

That was wild! I love this channel!

"Don't call me Shirley"😂
Syr Bastion. That is all.
I came here after building a Balan deck, i loved the video haha
Oh my god the "Brighter signet" joke hahahah
Eliot probably should have put the greaves on the skyhunter to get another trigger off
Saw it too, he had the mana for Balan activation up as well :D
"Everybody hates Jim is my favorite sitcom" LMAO 😂
This video got me reinspired to brew my Hans + Saffi deck. Thank you Spikaels.
I am disappointed that Lil' Sebastian is not a horse.
Next time I get to make a Sebastian, it will be a horse in your honor lol

What a great game! lol at Alex 'rolling anyways'
it does actually matter what you roll on merriment because it will modify how the angels enter the battlefield. found this out the hard way on arena
Pour one out for Sebastian of Rememberance
They massacred my boy
Hopped on to YT on time uploaded 5s ago
Thanks Spike Feeders!
Nah, thank you. Your stuff rocks and it was fun to play it up so much.
Does the instant equip not target or are those the hexprof boots? 👀 Those are a lot of axes
Both Balan's ability and Armored Skyhunter lack targeting. So the boots don't mess Eliot up at all.
Eliot should have 6 more Battleaxes
I've never seen an established player being so excited about the voltron :p
i have a balan cedh deck. i need to get hammer and bloodthristy battle ax
Wouldn't the shroud have stopped the equipment from attaching?
ILLEGAL?! Ok who sleeved up anthrax
Love fun Rule 0 decks
19:12 Eliot you should move the Greaves to the Armored Skyhunter and attack with it. If Alex tries anything against Balan you can pay 2 and get the Greaves back onto her at instant speed.
that last second trample pull!
Shouldnt the Hero’s Heirloom not have been able to equip to Balan bc of the Shroud of the Lightning Greaves?
It does not target. If it did, target, he could've moved the boots with brass squire in response to the trigger.
Does it matter that Balan has shroud from the greaves during that last combat regarding the Skyhunter trigger?
I just looked it up skyhunter just says if it's a equipment attach it so it didn't matter

Missed Opportunity to call Elliot's deck Balan Wanderworld
Great match despite being the quickest for a casual game
#Se-bastion
Balan for the win!!!
I'm a true fan so #SebastianDownBelow
😂❤
"THIS IS CASUAL COMMANDER?!" as she proceeds to play Elenda...
Elenda is definitely fair at that table lol
#c_bastian
Ah equipment doing that equipment nonsense
#sebastian
#sabastion
#Sebestien?
😢😢 so silly
Shouldn’t the Ozolith deck at least be colorless :/
#sebastion
Second but first
21:48 Your Hero's Heirloom will NOT attach to Balan from the Armored Skyhunter ability, because she has Shroud. You would need to use Brass Squire to move the Greaves off off her BEFORE the Skyhunter Ability resolves.
...or...
Activate Balan's ability to magnet everything to her :)
Since the Armored Skyhunter's ability doesn't actually target a creature, he's able to equip it even though she has shroud.
@@kelm102 Oh you're right!! I thought it was a targeted ability. it turns out that RTCETC :)
