0:50 Blind Seer kind of acts as a counterspell in a deck that has protection against any color. Or helps break trough protection. Or screw up you opponent's triggers if they are color related.
I can see imprinting a spell like Hydroblast AKA Blue Elemental blast on Isochron Scepter & then using the Scepter to be able to blow up any target or counter any spell your opponent throws at you & destroy all their permanents, INCLUDING LANDS, with Blind Seer.
It was also a counter to terror which at the time was a plauge.
I've seen Mishra, Artificer Prodigy Commander. They use symmetrical effects like Nether Void and Possibility Storm that Mishra can "ignore" by stacking his ability to resolve last. Mishra also ignores the drawback from Blood Funnel, too.
Happy someone else knows about this! Mishra, Artificer Prodigy was my first deck that used "the stack order matters" as it's core mechanic.
Blind Seer = Urza???? Oh my God!
lol urza is blind confirmed?
@@Josh_KiddingI mean, he's got no eyes so yeah
@@Josh_Kidding
“Urza in disguise”
He could be pretending to be blind.
Babe come quick, Nikachu is dunking on all of my commanders
How many goblins can look like that? Literally every single one on Kamigawa.
I LOVE Taniwha so much! It's hilarious with cards like Sunder and Upheaval bouncing lands, also Land Equilibrium and Mana Vortex destroying lands while yours are phased out. Hitting the opponent with Worldslayer attached to a creature and blowing up everything but your phased out lands is quite satisfying. Just make sure you have the right play group who doesn't mind it's a commander that destroys and bounces lots of lands, at least the way I built it.
Exactly! I've been playing a Taniwha EDH deck for about 4 years now, and it's awesome!
Artemis, All-Seeing is as close to an Exodia effect I've ever seen in Magic.
I actually want to make a deck around that.
My first thought with Blind Seer is to stack your deck full of color hate cards like Hydroblast, Aether Gust, etc.
Yeah, I've learned that commanders with a very general, non-specific use case should never be underestimated. In fact, they're the ones that tend to inspire my decks nowadays and blind seer has just done that. I suddenly feel compelled to build a deck with him.
But yeah, in a case like blind seer there's too much potential to judge its worth without researching it yourself.
38:44 dash says "to owners hand" when a commander is in your hand the tax resets to 0 tax so in theory you could bounce this and replay it from hand dodging tax), alough if it returns to the comand zone its tax returns to normal
Perhaps I’m misreading your intent (I’m autistic so I don’t do great with nonliteral text-only communication), but it doesn’t reset the tax to 0, it’s just commander tax only applies to casting from the command zone. If the dasher made its way back to the command zone later, you still need to pay the extra 2.
@@pyrotempestwing I think they mean if you can put your commander in to your hand rather than the command zone you could get out of paying the tax.
I just don't know the rules about which zones a commander can go to.
@@jerryb216 Yes, you don’t have to pay tax if it’s cast from your hand. I just wasn’t sure what he meant by the tax resets. If he’s discarded from your hand you can return him to the command zone, but you’ll have to pay the tax for the previous casts.
However, I think you’ve cleared it up for me, thanks.
@@pyrotempestwing sorry i miss worded this, it resets the tax to 0 wile its in hand then the tax returns to normal value of whatver it was at before it was in hand if it returns to comand zone
@@jerryb216 any zone a comander can go to any zone aside from the junkyard and the atractions deck
Episode idea: casting board room. Which actors should play x legendary creature.
Arent there removal spells that hit spells of other colors specifically? You could use the seer to make those types of removal spells more flexible, kinda like how liquimetal torque makes artifact removal more flexible, wanna get rid of an enchantment but you only have something that gets rid of artifacts use the torque to turn it into an artifact and then the usless removal spell in your hamd becomes quite useful.
I played Magic back when it was new and Nicol Bolas was my favorite card! Extreme nostalgia there!
Silver Myr is a colorless artifact creature that ramps blue. There is a Myr ramp for every color.
25:10 Selesnya is probably the most played enchantress deck, almost all of them are at least some subset of Abzan
Joven is really just Vince Neil of Motley Crue haha
Telim’tor is an anagram of “Mr Toilet”.
i think Jovan has a part-time job as Chumley on Pawn Stars
1:00:34
That’s kozilek, but with a mana cost
I used to know a person who played Lord of Tresserhorn un-ironically. It’s a good political card when you play it.
So the sacrificed creatures have to be yours I'm guessing?
If you can sac any two creatures that seems really useful
@@jerryb216 You can never sac other player's creatures.
@@AlienCowThatMoos That makes sense.
38:17 you can cast for the Dash cost from the Command Zone. Dash is an alternative casting cost, like Mutate.
Assuming Blind Seer can change a spell or permanent to colorless, it can be used with Forerunner of Slaughter's ability to grant Haste to colorless creatures. Neither ability requires tapping, so you can apply the combo to as many creatures as you have mana (2U per creature).
but if you have seer as commander you can play forerunner because of the colour
Blind seer is one of my favorite commanders. He works great with protection and the swords cycle and he can manipulate color identity in interesting ways!
30:00 The original Myrs did colored Ramp. Iron Myr ramped Red, Gold Myr ramped White, Copper Myr ramped Green, Silver Myr ramped blue, and Leaden Myr ramped Black XD.
There was mana ramp in blue in the form of Retraced Image. You can make land cards, so as long as you, say, play and Island turn one, cast Retraced Image, name Island, and have another Island in your hand, you put the Island from your hand into play.
You can Dash from the Command Zone, and when it returns to your hand at end of turn, it does actually go into your hand rather than the Command Zone (so the tax won't be applied since you can cast it again from your hand and the tax only applies when cast from the Command Zone). You can *choose* to have it go to the Command Zone rather than your hand, but that would be stupid for Dash.
The brother Yamazaki has a left printed and right printed version, so the image is flipped. Not sure if you can have two in a commander deck, technically but for other formats, it would work.
Your videos always cheer me up in this crazy world.
You're welcome!
With blind seer if you played with cards that screw over specific card types couldn't you use it to just make it so the card your opponent played was the color it applied to? So like if you had Boil on the field but your opponent casts a green card couldn't you respond with this to make it a red spell that they now need to pay two more for?
Re: Hisoka, you were thinking of Disrupting Shoal.
Apprentice Wizard from The Dark is a mono blue card with ramp. It costs U and it taps for 3 colorless.
There's that dragon orb that ramps blue.
You run that in a blue and white Deck with the northern Paladin in the southern part of it ended and then you can change the colors of their permanence to destroy them
Hahaha Invasion was my introduction to MTG all together!!! Loved the story and lore and the card so I learned to play playing myself lol then I finally found others that played. Not too many ppl that played growing up
Ran Lord of Treaserhorn as a funsies 2HG commander deck, ran tons of tutors for Stifle, then use stuff like Distortion Strike and Tainted Strike to make him a volatile. 😅
11:00 Tomik, interesting. Would this negate wren6?
Blind Seer -actually- is a -niche bomb in commander. It changes the color permanently so you can turn every Sword of X and Y into a color it gives protection from so it becomes basically useless- card.
Bottom of the card says "until end of turn"
@@zanechaffee7813 Oops, how did I overread that lol
@@oelboy lmao no worries this game will do it to ya
Blind Seer is actually pretty good, not incredible but changing color identity can be abused with card that have protection from color or if you have ways color of spell is affected in some way. You can abuse it by denying a spell cast because it has to be on the stack AT LEAST for it to be touched by blind seer, but it can be a good effect.
Mannichi can be abused in some other ways. Say you have "until end of turn opponents creatures get -4/-4" and all the creatures powers are lower than 4 they would die. Or say you give them all lower toughness, but not attack you can do the same. Since the the lower of stats stays on that side (so if creatures have -0/-3 and a swap happens they still have -0/-3 as this card doesn't change that rule of the card). Also, you can do the effect at instant speed to save cards if needed. For instance after damage is applied and you have creatures damaged, you swap them if someone does some sort of kill effect. It actually is a decent card (though not incredible).
My take is alot of these are probably niche uses, but not terrible. Just because they are legendary doesn't mean they HAVE to be good. There are plenty of common and uncommon cards that are stupid strong just because the mechanics can be abused easily. A bad card is not because of their type, it is how it functions. I often like to find ways to make what seems like a bad card good because it is fun to think outside the box and not use the same cards (or even decks) others use. This is why I design all my own decks. I also only play commander (I used to play standard magic back BEFORE there was game modes and everything needed to have restriction in casual play). I will only design my own decks based on cards I see or mechanics i want to abuse. I also will not spend over $20 for any single card. I will usually build cheap, so this idea of always optimizing a deck is beyond me.
I knew someone who had a Hope of Ghirapur commander deck. We tended to play 4 player and it won more than half its games
38:25 Judge here, yeah you can dash from the command zone, but you will have to pay commander tax (if any) to cast with dash.
I have a full set of gold legends from Legends and nearly all are bad commanders unless you are only playing them for access to the colours. Sometimes fun wins out over ability and power.
47:08 You're wrong there. They're both akki, kamgawa goblins, but not the same one.
47:16 every single goblin from kamigawa looks like that
Karfell Harbinger taps for blue but you can only spend it on instant/sorceries or fortelling cards
The fevered dream is actually a really good card. It's a finisher for red. I know there's a haste prowess one drop that's a 1/2. Adds that lil more damage to get in bolt range.
I have Hisoka, Minamo Sensei in my Tribal Wizards Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir Commander deck.
Would love Grandmother Sengir's ability for that stupid squirrel. You know which one I'm talking about.
12:30 : Atemsis is really strong and Bothering in Commander, you just have to put 60 drawers & cantrip in your deck, have 4 or 5 way to get no limit in your hand, then you kill everyone. Too good to be in this list xD .
49:11 : Orca is very powerful, it killed me so much time, there are so many way to put it +1/+1 counter or to copy it (Then sacrifice it for it sac effect), that's too powerful for this list.
Mishra, Artificer Prodigy with something that let's you play opponents spells theoretically works, it's not good. But I don't think people would see it coming.
Because it's not good.
3:21 Mannichi the Fevered Dream + Flatline bad combo that actually works.
Yo Lord tresserhorn can't be played into , or regenerated into a board where you have less than 2 other minions to sac , cuz it's not a cost , it's an etb. So he just sacs himself over and over
45:28 lol
The Ur-Drago reminds me Pelagia from Shadow of the Colossus. Those arts were incredible, so sad the cards were terrible...
30:50 Elves of Deep Shadow taps for 1 Black.
Veldrane of Sengir looks like Snake Pliskin from Escape from NY
That's what I was also thinking! I couldn't remember the names of the characters or movies.
100% accept my tip here. You need to answer for that hair. That’s a bad legendary.
(29:22) If you really want blue ramp for a mono-blue commander, try Silver Myr.
Draco's cost is extreme, but there is the more fundamental problem that it's not a legendary. It CAN'T be your commander.
Thanks to this video, I bought a lord of tresserhorn
Blind Seer could actually be really useful for some color shenanigans. Like, say, if you were facing a black opponent and had a doom blade in hand, changing the opponents creature to a different color would let you target it. There's other ways it COULD be used. I'm just having trouble thinking of a way it could be used that isn't either done simpler or wouldn't be needlessly convoluted. It's not USELESS though, just... solving a problem you shouldn't even have in the first place.
You would have to pay the extra mana to activate Blind Seer which automatically makes it shit. And in commander you're restricted to mono blue. Trust me it's bad.
Axelrod plus basilisk collar plus… anything with first strike? And ideally “must be blocked”.
Add all the cards that give your opponents creatures like “Hunted Nightmare” and “Forbidden Orchard”.
Sivitri is riding a Craw Wurm obviously.
There is a vlack enchantment called dearhgrip that lets you counter any green spell for bb. Super broken with blind seer
True, but you wont be able to play black cards in your blue commander deck
60:00 Kiki-jikki specifies non legendary creatures
not sure if counts as it gives colourless, but apprentice wizard, turn 1 blue into 3 generic.
whoever said Arixmethes, slumbering isle is a bad card needs to reevaluate their entire existence
The thing that annoys me the most about Iname as One is that it's meant to be a combination of the two other Iname cards, but BOTH of those cards are leagues better than the big Iname. The mono black version gets you any number of spirits from your library to your Graveyard on ETB, and the mono green one gets you any number from your Graveyard to your hand when it dies. If big Iname just had both of those abilities, it would be great, but instead they traded any number of spirits for one spirit on the battlefield, gave it a casting restriction making it useless as a commander, and still had it cost twice as much. Honestly, just rule 0 the other Iname cards to be partners.
Wasnt cumulative upkeep in the game because of mana burn?
10:35 that's literally me :D except that now I have the "returned king" that can power up the whole deck.
There is an old merfolk that can filter to blue mana :D
35:06 you could do a show "how to remaster old legends into a playable and flavourful card" .. like that one could have "Fear, menace ; BR, TAP: deals damage equal to its power. Cast it only once a turn."
52:40 AHAHAHAH i love that anagram!
1:00:05 or you could put the Brothers Yamasaki in hand, then play Soul Foundry and have multiple copies :D also, the imprinted card is both imprinted and bound to return into the command zone, which implies you could have both the original card and the copy in play in the same turn (assuming you have enough mana)
1:01:05 Ertai, the old version: it can counter a spell by paying "2UU, TAP"
I'm late...Tomik is fantastic in Creature Land Decks. Give those creatures Hexproof - but that "Hexproof" can't be removed with Shadowspear
Power wise, fail
Flavor wise, though? Absolute win
2:03
I preffer old magic with lame creatures and powerful spells than subpar spells and powerful creatures, but the main reason is that it made games last longer and I appreciate longer games.
26:50 just use the blank cards intended for this and put the real card asside in transparent sleves to use when you play the placeholder cards
Dromar can only bounce red or green creatures, he is three colors. Three of five.
Atemis actually doesn't need to attack to make someone lose the game, it just needs to deal damage even through effect damage. Blue has quite a few ways to make something unblockable but it also has a few ways to deal non-combat damage and that isn't counting equipment. Atemis isn't terrible and could really sneak out some wins.
I actually love Norin the Wary. I pair it with tons of ETBs like Impact Tremors and Warstorm Surge to just shred my opponents. My friend ended up making a Lulu Loyal Hollyphant with a red background and throw in Norin just to have something that could trigger Lulu each of her turns because Norin is really tough to get rid of once he is out.
Blind Seer can be usefull against protections
Blind seer can work in a protection deck
dromar sucks because he's three colours himself, so anytime you want to bounce a creature that isn't red or green, dromar bounces himself.
If those legends that only tapped for a single Mana tap for 2 instead including a blue they would have been easy2go ♾️
Hoss Delgado who may you have been thinking of
Blind seer with all the kill spells tho
Tomik is a counter to land destruction.
Atemsis is basically the Exodia of MTG lol.
Who's Kerry King???!!!!! God damnit boy!
Blind seer let’s you turn Fatal Push red against those veil of summer decks
if I ever got attacked by Atemsis and opponent had 6 cards in hand I would let it go through they deserve the win if they have it after that
It should have been a homeland's/ Chronicles ban on this list to keep it more interesting.
Neither Aboshan, nor Jeska are particularly bad. Neither should be your commander, but they are both decent in the 99.
most of these are simply over costed for limited abilities. No real reason to put these into a deck..
2 eyepatch movies: Escape from New York. or. Escape from L.A. ? Kurt Russel.
ahh i see someone already commented this
Man chi isn’t bad but the fact it’s red means. it’s better for making blockers the attackers
hey ! how about an ad Buddy ? Who's your sponsor ?
If only there was a world where Mishra Artificer Prodigy + Relentless Rats + Mycosynth Lattice + Thrumming Stone actually worked.
You can use mishra artifcer prodigy with possibility storm, if you put the mishra trigger on the stack first and then the possibility storm trigger first you can cast the next artifact spell in your deck, shuffle the original one along with the other misses get put on the bottom of your library in a random order and then you get to search your library to cast the original spell that you originally cast.
Blind Seer is broken in Commander Painter decks.
Shimatsu seems really bad, until you throw out an Insurrection beforehand and sac all their creatures after combat. Or any other way to gain control of creatures en masse.
Blind seer + douse, counter everything
Silver Myr taps for blue.
Well return to your hand deck and throw that in there in case they tryna get protection from blue
Taniwha works better in a mana rock deck.
If you had to use this commander.
Dark ritual is black ramp
Snargs House of Sin
I can turn hydroblast into cancel! I’m doing it!
