    'Kraj' actually means 'End' in some Slavic languages (like Serbian). Considering Ravnica is inspired a little bit by Slavic mythology and culture, I don't think it was a coincidence.
    So we have Experiment One, the first one, and Experiment Kraj, the final one.

    Hahahaha! As soon as Adam's Birds of Paradise came down, I paused the video and excitedly called to my husband to come see. "Look at that! It's the card alter I was telling you about, the one [Nelson's wife] did!" He looks at it and thinks it's awesome, then the boys go on to say how it's Nelson's card and we realize how cool it is to be sitting here across the country from the people magic and seeing a card I've literally sat down and played with be talked about.

    "Devoid cards have color identity!?"
    Yes! Simply put, color identity is additive. Mana symbols in the cost and rules text + color indicators + color defining abilities (on both sides of the card if applicable).
    A Devoid card with a black cost is essentially colorless + black, which gives it the color identity of black.

    @trentsims 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Commander Damage is a bad rule that kind of needs to exist. Without some type of commander damage, Voltron commanders would basically be phased out all together, and they're already on the weaker side of things. Also life gain strategies would suddenly be far more problematic, because there are some decks that just don't have an infinite combo that instantly wins the game.
    I think that some modification to the Commander Damage rule could be made, but with how good of a spot the format is in right now, there is no reason to make any massive changes.

      @regirex4418 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If a Voltron Deck deserves to win in one swing, it should be able to hit for 30-50 damage. If it relies on 21 damage, it’s kind of a weak deck. My Uril deck for example, hits for 20-40 on average powered up swing. With Commander Damage, this is an easy win they can’t do anything against. My play group doesn’t use CMDR damage, which I feel let’s some of my decks do better.

    • @trentsims
      @trentsims 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is kind of a paradox type of thing. In a group that doesn't play with commander damage, Voltron style decks won't be hated on as hard allowing them to build up for bigger swings. However, all Voltron decks across the board would be worse over all without the commander damage rule in play, because their biggest weakness will still be in play. The fact that they keep all their eggs in one basket.
      Though the viability of Voltron decks isn't the only issue. There is also the viability of the types of decks they counter. Namely life gain strategy decks. You don't see a lot of dedicated life gain decks around because they're countered fairly easily by both Voltron and Combo, but if built well are all but immortal against other strategies. Without commander damage, you will see an increase in these types of decks, which will lead to an increase in combo decks.
      It is just too big of a shake up to risk when the game is in a good spot.

    It is possible to build ten Ravnica themed EDH decks using basic lands and cards with guild watermarks. Before Guilds of Ravnica and Ravnica Alliegance, the decks weren't too great, but I do have ten built. They're all going to get makeovers after War of the Spark, and I'll continue to stick the "watermark only" restriction. It'll be nice to cut bad commons and uncommons from them, like Frenzied Tilling.

    As an opinion on the commander rules discussion early on, i vehemently disagree with both james and ben.
    First, removing commander damage would take away one of the weapons against the decks that just gain 500+ life and become almost untouchable by normal damage means. It would also completely eradicate voltron as a strategy from the format.
    Second, taking away colour identity from devoid cards would be pointless. You wouldnt be able to cast them in a deck outside of their colours because lands have colour identity so you couldnt put them in the deck. There are ways around it, like chromatic lantern, but its inconsistent at best

    • @BookofAeons
      @BookofAeons 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lands only have a color identity if they have a colored mana symbol in their rules text or basic land type. There's enough rainbow lands, a deck that wanted to wouldn't have that much trouble casting an off-color devoid.

    1:35:07 That's not actually a combo, is it? So Niv-Mizzet Dracogenius damages a player, drawing a card and causing Niv-Mizzet Firemind to damage a player - but that doesn't trigger Dracogenius again, as Dracogenius is specifically if Dracogenius damages an enemy. It's a neat synergy, but I can't see how it would go infinite.

    James needs to sacrifice half of his lands and other Non Demon permanents he controls to Rakdos, this action will surely affect the game state.

    biggest problem I have? desecration demon should be getting that trigger every turn. you must go to combat, every turn, so if no one is sacrificing creatures, the demon is getting bigger every turn

    • @Nyxlave
      @Nyxlave 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Desecration Demon only gets stronger if you *do* sacrifice to tap it. It essentially spends the turn eating the sacrifice instead of attacking.

  • @hewhogoesbymanynames

    No offense Ben, but devoid cards having no color identity would be inconsistent with the way color identity works for virtually no gain. Color identity is distinct from color. This can be annoying if you want to put crystal shard in your non-blue deck, but is a boon in that you can play Tasigur as a Sultai commander.
    And what devoid card are you wanting to play in a deck that you can't. I can't think of a devoid card that's better than filler, and you'd have to have a bunch of "mana of any color" effects just to make them work.
    At least the hybrid thing would affect good cards, and let you put them in decks that can cast them easily.
    That said, the color identity rules definitely have some edge cases. Unquenchable fire and naked singularity are the biggest examples.

  • @ozrithclay6921
    @ozrithclay6921 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    About devoid having color identity.
    You guys realize that all lands are colorless right? And they have color identity.
    As for Mana symbols in reminder text, there are several instances of cards that can be played in one color identity but have reminder text to explain rules that use other colors. For example there's an artifact creature somewhere in the game that is colorless that has an effect that has to do with white cards. That's why reminder text doesn't count.

  • @theonlyksmith
    @theonlyksmith 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why would devoid cards not have colour identity? Colour identity in commander is literally dictated by the mana symbols on the card.The whole point of the devoid mechanic was to have colourless cards that you couldn't jam into every deck.

    • @OscatJ
      @OscatJ 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it is mostly a flavour fail thing, you should be able to run a devoid deck with a colourless eldrazi as your commander but can't because of the current rules on colour identity. Could just have it that commander rules eratas devoid to include colour identity

    • @theonlyksmith
      @theonlyksmith 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@OscatJ I personally don't mind it so much, I actually recently built a Jhoira devoid deck and it would be weird to be running off-colour devoid cards, as the devoid cards are designed to represent the "colour" that they're in. Making that exception would be giving colours access to abilities and cards that those colours don't usually have. Hell, one of the devoid guys counterspells. Although, I do have a Pull from the Blind Eternities and an off-colour "sideboard" lol so if you want to go off-colour you still can.

      I believe that it scans the art of the card with "facial" recognition, which is why shiny or holo cards have a rough time being recognized.

      No, because they have different names. The names have to be exactly the same and both have to be legendary for the rule to do anything.
