5:43. One thing about illusionist and Shuko. You don’t need two creatures in play. You can activate Shuko targeting illusionist even if Shuko is already attached to it. Nothing in the rules forbids an equipment from targeting or attaching to a creature to which it is already equipped.
Yes, that is why Shuko is preferred over Lightning Greaves, despite Lightning Greaves being better. Lightning Greaves gives the creature Shroud, which prevents you from equipping Cephalid Illusionist (and for that matter Nadu, Winged Wisdom) over and over again without another creature.
"The pool of Sea Monsters" ... nyehe XD I see what you did there... For Hullbreaker Horror... is it a "counterspell" effect like Remand or does the spell go through? Also, OG Leviathan didnt make it? TwT
More like remand though funny thing, hullbreaker doesn't say counter target spell, it just says return to hand, so it works even on spells that can't be countered as it technically isn't countering the spell
@@azazelmorningstar5631 Came here to say this, haha. Hullbreaker Horror/Unsubstantiate/Divide By Zero/Commandeer and similar cards all get around the "uncounterable" problem.
Came here on my 'real' channel to tell you that you're better than that other channel. You're obviously familiar with the game, and they say stuff that is... often just wrong, and I don't mean "didn't play in 1997" wrong, I mean "what's an Island do?" levels of wrong. OK, that's hyperbole, but my point is true, that channel seems to rely on peeling info from other sources and not actually filtering it through the lens of a player. They said Serrated Arrows was only good because of the 5 cards from each set rule during Homelands. But you got that right, it was a factor, but Pump Knights were the #1 reason it was played so heavily. Just one example. If you don't have many audio-only listeners, perhaps putting the way you rank cards on screen and not saying it aloud would save a few seconds off the intro portion, when people are most likely to click away, I dunno your metrics. I don't mind it at all, but I'm always trying to trim mine (non-MtG, not a plug) in those first couple minutes. One more thing: I am part of a fairly large group of people who will never play competitive MtG again, but spent many years doing so. When you cover modern sets, I don't click, but anything that should include some old stuff gets me every time. The 'How Good Was It... Really?' series is awesome, even cards like Bosium Strip, Rainbow Efreet, Recycle or the like, there's a ton of high ranking competitive decks from the early days that never get spoken of today. And guys like me would be lined up to watch them. Anyway, keep it up, don't be discouraged, make more vids, and turn the light down, I gotta watch this Nizzahon vid.
Leviathan? Kraken has Gyruda, Octopus has a bunch, Serpent has Tolarian Terror and Bladecoil off the top of my head. All the Leviathans are overcosted and mire geared to tabletop magic
@@aronb.1273 Look at Koma a few seconds earlier, she has the exact same numbers for edh (and is legendary). He just forgot to delete it/copied it by accident.
I have NEVER seen a creature with rules design as cool as that Bladecoil Serpent, the amount of flexibility for how you want to use it is nuts and the fact that it has an X cost just to allow you to make it even nastier, I need to play with it.
Striped riverwinder has no pauper points? I'm surprised, I thought that was the other reanimation target used a lot in pauper. Maybe I'm confusing it with Tolarian Terror 😅
My guess is Leviathan. Cephalids cover Octopuses. Kraken has that new shiny card from Innistrad. Serpent has the "costs less for each spell in yard" commons that get points in Pauper. Leaving Leviathans by the process of elimination. EDIT: I guessed right. :-D Now I have to ask, does any Leviathan have any points? EDIT: I forgot, Inkwell Leviathan must have some points it was one of the premium reanimation targets. Let me then change my question: What's the highest score of a Leviathan card?
My guess is that Leviathan is probably the type that didn't make it. Obviously at least one Kraken is in going by the thumbnail, there have been competitive Cephalids, and between Serpents and Leviathans, I think it's probably the former... but Serpent would definitely be my second guess . . EDIT: I was right, but I *severely* underestimated Serpents. I completely forgot that Yorion is a Serpent too
My guess is Serpent didn’t make the list. Cephalids being octopi now means those qualify because of Cephalid Breakfast. Iirc there was an artifact creature Leviathan that saw play, but I could be wrong there. And I seem to remember a real low cost Kraken seeing some play. Maybe Thing in the Ice? Was that a Kraken on the back?
Who’s your favorite sea monster commander? Mine is arixmethy’s the slumbering isle. Mainly cause of the art work and how funny it is to give it flying and just smack someone for 12 commander damage and they can’t do crap about it. XD
Do you really need two creatures to activate Shuko's equip ability infinitely? I thought you could activate to re-equip the same creature (the ability will just do nothing when it resolves...) 🤔
Quest for ulas temple lol....imagine your opponent turn 1s it and by 7th turn reveals his 3rd 9/9 enters the battlefield board wipes then you shuffle your soul back into your library lol
Nah, it doesn't mean TITI and Hullbreaker are likely the same. Also not weird for Cephalids to be sea monsters that don't live in the sea, given that as far as MtG is concerned, "Sea Monsters" don't exist.
I recently rewatched your "Best" and "Worst" creature types lists from five years ago, and I would be super stoked to see those revisited. Serpents were THE worst back then, but judging by this list they certainly no longer are. And for the Best, a ton of Gods have been printed since then, so I wonder if they were able to keep the top spot that seemed cemented in stone.
This is the sort of tribal I can get behind. Give me some glorious underwater homies! But here's what you might not know, they're all working with me to help get "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" by sinking random ships in the Atlantic ocean.
If the list also included giant lobsters, you would’ve been #1. What do we call giant lobsters though? Dire lobsters? Lobsterviathans? Biggy wiggy pinchy winchy lobby wobbies? Lobbos?
Release the kraken! Hullbreaker with a blue/black revival theme would be my constructed deck. Never played with it but I love the idea of cheating it into play then abusing the hell out of its spell trigger.
LOL Sky Swallower, love the bizarro creature. Never found an awesome use for it but now that I think about it, it does a mass Donate effect that might be fun to abuse. Simic Sky Swallower was a thing in standard for a while, but I guess not enough to make it to this list. (I remember forcing someone to sac it after I sacced a Mindlash Sliver with Grave Pact on the board and he got SALTY.)
@@mantissaPuc There wasn't nearly as much board wipe at the time as there seems to be now, haha. There were probably some Edicts around too but those are always so iffy that people rarely used them unless they gained synergy from them. I used Grave Pact only because with the combo the deck ran, it equated to a board wipe every time. (The combo was Enduring Renewal, Mindlash Silver, and Basal Sliver to get infinite black mana, and Consume Spirit to win with it... so synergistically Grave Pact was a board wipe.)
When you next do MDFCs - Weird thought - I seem to remember a card that allowed you to turn over an opponents card… …can you use that card to negate the spell side of MDFCs? Or inversely, Mana “Screw” someone by turning over their MDFC? (Say it was their only source or red - turning it over might stop Anger? Or a spell on the stack?)
I've been wanting to make a Runo Stromkirk deck with sea monsters but I've been struggling a little on how to make it efficient enough to keep up with my friends' decks
I'm surprised stormtide leviathan isn't heavily played in pro play when I started playing it was one of the scariest cards to play against I thought in the right deck it would still be very strong.
"They decided to simply things" If by simplify you mean "make it so the plain, printed text on dozens of cards is now wrong, requiring people to look up cards in the middle of games even more often than they do now." Thanks Wizards, I hate it! Stop changing creature types there's no point to it.
My favorite archetype, my first precon was 2015 Teferi that got upgraded into Arixmethes. Edit: i just found that scryfall doesn't have an otag for sea monsters, I'm disappointed
I have a Terrors of the Deep deck, but I recall it having an okay number of Leviathans in it, so it does feel weird that none made this list. I wonder what the best Leviathan in MtG is, that it doesn't even get to 10, and how different this list might've been even just six months ago, before Cephalids got rolled into Octopuses, for example?
Kenessos is my pet EDH deck, feels so good to suddenly explode the table with the most awesome creatures ever... and even on EDH, hullbreaker horror is able to be a win condition
Are there significantly more points per year now than in, say, 1999? I would love to see a graph of points available vs time. A sort of meta analysis of these videos could be really interesting
I'm guessing Serpent didn't make it. Feel like there must be enough Leviathans that at least one got past the "9 mana and sac 4 islands every turn you want it to attack" design they used to get Dang, wrong immediately. Changing my guess to Leviathan, they never got past that old design
Whoa didn’t know about that octopus change , had an sea monster deck for as long as I been playing 8 years and didn’t know quest for ur as temple existed
I'm guessing the next time we see this meta-tribe, it'll be given a collective name the same way Outlaws were. Certainly frees up space in the text box.
There are a couple of sea monsters in my (largely untouched from the precon) Captain N'ghathrod Commander deck, which is Horror typal mill. I would like to see a Top 10 Horrors and a Top 10 Mill episode!
You may want to look at your information cards in regards to Commander, you have two creatures with stats as commanders despite them being non legendary.
This sea monster grouping makes me think of the type groupings that Yugioh does. For the longest time they had Fish, Aqua, and Sea Serpent monsters grouped together with support cards like Surface. Later on, they combined Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged-Beast with the Tri-brigade cards. They mixed Plant, Insect, and Reptile with the Ragnaraika cards And then they recently made support that ties Psychic, Machine, and Cyberse together. It is neat to me to see themes mixed together like that.
SPOILERS:
I'm wrong about Cephalid Illusionist and Shuko. You don't actually need another creature for the combo!
I run a commander deck called "Seahorsemanship", with Sun Quan, Lord of Wu as the commander, leading an army of unblockable sea monsters.
I wanna see a historical movie about that!
I would love to see this list! Sounds so fun❤
Searchable on moxfield?
Now we need the bottom 10 so we can see all our forgotten Leviathan bros
Leviathan was my favorite card as a kid and I don't think I ever successfully dealt damage with it even once

No, it's in that many decks. It's not a commander
@@caseywellington4761right. Go to 8:59, Nizzahon has stats “as commander” listed which (without rule 0) is impossible.

Im guessing serpents

I'm going with Leviathan.
My guess is Leviathan.
Cephalids cover Octopuses.

Serpent totally has to be the one left off the list, I can't think of a single good one
I was wrong
I just think about bulk draft chaff when I think about serpents
Based on your earlier Worst Creature Types list, I’m pretty confident Serpents are the one creature type with no cards on this list.
How can Hullbreaker Horror be a Commander, and how can there be over 4k decks with it as Commander?
guess pre-video is leviathan. can't think of any of those that are playable
Guessing before watching the rest of the video: I think that Serpent is the creature type that is going to be left off.
Title: Top See Monsters
No.1: Sky Monster
Almost poetic😅
I think you shouldve gave the best leviathan an honorable mention since you have it in the video name. Just felt a little misleading
Hullbreaker Horror also combos with two pieces of fast mana
Woohoo! I was right about which tribe (creature type) of the four had no entries on this list.

Gonna guess Leviathan is the one that didn't make the list.
the "grouping" mechanic should be both formalized and standardized:
-) Cleric, Shaman, WIzard and Druid -> "magicians"
-) Beast, Bird, Cat, kavu, Ape, Dog, Horse (,?) -> "animals"
-) Viashino, snake, crocodile, dinosaur -> reptilians
-) Crab, fish, shark (,?) -> sea .. hum, IDK
-) Elf, Human, Goblin, Orc, Vampire, zombie, cephalids -> humanoid
-) Soldier, Warrior, Knight, Mercenary -> Manowar
-) Spirit, Illusion, Angel, Demon, Devil, Horror -> esoteric
there might be some overlaps, but it could be ... nice, anyway
Koma really is a disgusting magic card my god 😂😂
"They decided to simply things" If by simplify you mean "make it so the plain, printed text on dozens of cards is now wrong, requiring people to look up cards in the middle of games even more often than they do now." Thanks Wizards, I hate it! Stop changing creature types there's no point to it.
Know what there are before hand
@abranlucero7246 so by your logic we should just have all cards be textless full-arts then. After all we can just memorize what they do right? 🙄🙄
Definitely leviathan, don’t even need to look ahead
My favorite archetype, my first precon was 2015 Teferi that got upgraded into Arixmethes.

Gotta be leviathans that didn’t make the list.
Posting before watching...I think you had mentioned Serpents were the worst creature type in an earlier video, which is completely believable.
I mean, I was thinking of making a sea monster Commander deck; Cephalids being Octopi now is definitely a bonus.

Leviathan?
I’m gonna say Kraken isn’t on here.
Damn, forgot about Hullbreaker Horror.
Which Leviathan was closest?
Inkkwell Leviathan
I have a foil yorion, sky nomad pulled it in a pack
The plural of octopus is octopii
Octopuses is correct as well, and it's what's use on Magic cards (Take a look at Whelming Wave), so it's the one I went with.
I'm guessing the next time we see this meta-tribe, it'll be given a collective name the same way Outlaws were. Certainly frees up space in the text box.
I sure hope not!
octupi
There are a couple of sea monsters in my (largely untouched from the precon) Captain N'ghathrod Commander deck, which is Horror typal mill. I would like to see a Top 10 Horrors and a Top 10 Mill episode!
I've done both of those.
@@NizzahonMagic I've probably watched both of them, too! 😅 Good work anticipating my requests.

Going to guess kraken and that any kraken on this list gets called an octopus in the type box.
Ah boo, I guess it's Leviathan.
Great video!
Octopi
Both are correct, and WotC uses octopuses, so I did too -- after all, it's what appears on the cards I'm talking about in this very video.
@@NizzahonMagic I was just taking the piss, but I WILL say that every time I heard octopuses it was like nails on the chalkboard for me. :)
This sea monster grouping makes me think of the type groupings that Yugioh does.

Tryd to build around this tribe. It turned out… its kinda terrible 😂 just a few good cards are not enough to build a whole tribal deck.
