Ancestral Knowledge is also good for nuking lands out of your library when you don't need anymore of them and want to increase your odds of drawing gas.
Had a buddy do that. Unfortunately I had a Fall of Thran in hand lol
Ashling's Prerogative is an absolute all star in my very competitive Krenko deck. I've never once seen someone else play it.
I PLAY IT TOO IN THE SAME DECK BROOOOH
EDHREC says 10% of Krenko Decks play it. So not that unique but looks good.
I play it in Zada, Hedron Grinder
same here, its so strong
Angel's trumpet seems really good with those enchantments that say "whenever a creature you control deals dmg/attacks draw a card"
I have it in my mono w Darien deck it does work there.
I have one of these in Zada with Seize the Day. Seize the Day copies to all my creatures giving me that many extra combat steps. Angel's Trumpet lets me attack with all my creatures since they don't tap.
Next time I purchase from TCG, I got you bro. Keep the videos coming!
Angel's Trumpet does loads of work in my Darien King of Keljdor deck.
Ashling's Prerrogative works wonders in a Gavi deck (or any token deck, really). Loved it!
I'm definitely putting arena of the ancients in my kalamax deck. I have a friend that has a lot of voltron decks and he is going to hate it
Do you run Armory Automaton? If not you should, even if for just one game for the lol’s.
@@TheSPARTANusm OMG, I didn't know about this card. I might try to use it
@@Digstreak just remember to play it or have a way around shroud or hexproof as if they have Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots on you’ll only be able to target them, unless you can remove them before playing AA or flickering him to trigger his etb twice.
It was reprinted in Chronicles.
I think it might be a good card for my Tetsuko deck, most of my creatures in that deck are not legendary
Excellent recommendations,. I really appreciate that you're continuing to do these!
Ashling's prerogative works ofcourse for obosh decks but also voltron decks and progenitus voltron but also with commanders that have tap abilities in red like obeka or as people have said, krenko. It also works out with group slug or vial smasher esque decks where you want to hinder your opponent's and have no regard for your things getting tapped since you'll mostly be burning them. The other purpose is token decks where you spam goblins or dragons where they are even cmc and would be granted haste to surprise your opponent out of nowhere since it is simply 2 mana. You could even play your opposite cmc cards then this since it is a static effect granting haste instead of giving it to them as they enter such as riot and get rid of as much of the downside as possible.
I tossed Ancestral Knowledge into my forgotten mechanics fun deck and have been quite surprised with how good it actually is.
I think it was Gavin Verhy that specifically said they were never going to print another card with Aura Swap because the design space is so small. it's an ability that is either totally buster or garbage depending on the costing, and that anything else of the card other than the Aura Swap effect pretty much doesn't matter.
Yeah, I was going to say that Ashling's Prerogative would be good in an Obosh deck. That seems like a pretty interesting niche deck. i might have to look into building that.
I really enjoy this series and your take on the game in general, trying to find a home for old and/or underplayed cards. It leads to much more interesting decks imo, although I'm also guilty of constantly trying to optimize my decks.
I was playing Ancestral Knowledge in Aminatou. It can fix the top of your deck for miracles and flickering it can filter through your whole deck pretty quickly.
brilliant.
Ancestral Knowledge seems really strong in a Rashmi deck. If you can plan well, your next few spells could also come with the spell from the top of your library you want for free. It's also a good thing to drop just to get the top card of your deck while it's your turn.
Ashlin's Perogative gives Krenko and all the tokens haste for only 2 mana? Don't understand how half these cards aren't seeing play.
It’s even better in Obosh.
Love Ashes to Ashes! Been fitting it into my black decks for a while.
Total War and Angel's Trumpet looking real good for my Thantis deck, Annex for my Nekusar (am loving Vesuva in him, so it'll be fun to use) and Arcanum Wings is a must have for my Tuvasa. And now I'll just say that most of these cards I will have to get. Not surprised though, as this series of yours always shows so many gems I never would've found
Ashling's Prerogative is great in Kaalia; it gives her haste and since you are playing creatures off her effect on swing, they come into play tapped anyway. So it helps keep tempo
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you could attach Arcanum Wings to your commander, after blockers are declared, if it's unblocked (since it is flying) you could Aura swap to Colossification and one-shot someone for 20+ commander damage. That's pretty crazy.
that would work. nice plan.
I Loooove Annex! Other then dealing with lands it also has a fair possibility of finding a blue source. Blue ramp is often artifact based and doesnt produce blue all that much.
Its worth mentioning that Artificer's Intuition works well with Goblin Welder. Also you don't have to get a mana rock with it, but rather something utility or maybe a combo piece, say a Shadowspear or a Brittle Effigy. Interesting card, I have never seen it before.
I was almost agonizing on how you can't put it in a Daretti deck. It's such a perfect fit for the Commander :(
@@arthurbozelli4360 It's straight up a win-con in some decks. Kinnan/Alela/Urza all can use it as part of an eggs engine. Lazav can use this to get Vector Asp, Dreadnaught, Ballista, and Gingerbrute. There's a whole silver-bullet hateful artifacts that it can grab or pitch. Tutoring up Keys is relevant if you use mana rocks that are bigger than Thran Dynamo. And there's the whole Expedition Map/Academy Ruins/Inventor's Fair/Crucible of Worlds thing you can do off of this card too.
It even combos with Wild Research by searching up Library of Leng.
It's absolutely worth it to try it out once if you're the kind of person who likes durdle engines.
I loved the cards this time! What a great video!
Ashling's prerogative is interesting in tokens
Arcanum wings in foil is quite something to see too. Using it myself in bruna and rafiq decks
Love the content! I'm clicking these videos so fast :-)
I run Ancestral Knowledge in my Aminatou manifest deck. So good being able to stack the top of my library for the perfect manifests
one of the deck ideas I've been sitting on for awhile is a Grixis Gyruda companion deck so can run ashling's perrogative, but not found one I love yet. Sedris is okay, but feels like we are waiting on the best (most fun) version still
Loving these videos. Yeah, my pod feel that there isn't any mechanic/engine in MtG that can't be made 'unfriendly', and one of our group made a staxy Silverquill deck that's all about your cast restricting effects (Rule of Law, Archon of Emeria, etc) along with draw punishing (Seizan, Underworld Dreams, Teferi's Puzzle Box) and it's brutal but it breaks a stalemate when everyone has to rush to win, instead of being able to cautiously play their cards.
Angel's Trumpet + Reconnaissance if you want to force the downside of Trumpet on your opponents but not necessarily attack yourself.
Ashling’s Perogative...Goblin tokens...even pick...
I have an ashling in my obosh burn deck. Does some nice work in that deck.
Love these videos!
Ashlings prerogative is especially tasty for krenko. Krenko and his tokens have haste.
Ashling's Prerogative is great in my Sedris deck. It's got Gyruda as a companion!
I ve seen ashling's prerogative in a Krenko deck to give al the tokens haste
Ashes to Ashes is probably my favorite sorcery speed removal. Ancient Ruins puts in sold work in Obosh. Arena of Ancients and Angel's Trumpet are always cards I try to run but never to a great effect but I think I just need to find a better place to play them. Great video as always though!
put angel's trumpet in your obosh deck? deals double damage.
Reckless Spite is Wicked Pact at instant speed
angel's trumpet has the capability of being stacksy as hell when you combine it with pillowforty things like Propaganda and ghostly prison etc. while it would only be stacksy when they have to attack you and cant afford to pay the taxes, when it gets down to 1v1 its gonna be evil xD
Interesting cards, as always
Hating on artifacts and enchantments, my Enchanted evening deck loves to do it. I find it very satisfying.
you know Artificer's Intuition it just realized with that card modern horizons 2 just brought a 10 card cycle of dual Artifact lands with Indestructible this can tutor for all 10 because they are artifacts that cost less than 1 mana like this wants
so that one could get more expensive because of those knowing modern/commander
As stupid as it sounds, one of my favorite low power draw tools is Spare Supplies. Two for a card, then next turn tap for two and a card. It's surprisingly useful. Or feels oddly useful to me.
Ancestral knowledge is amazing in any kind of flicker deck
I play it in my animatou flicker deck
I think a cool card that I don’t see very often you could look at is Turnabout
I know it’s a little more played than others we see on this channel
Hey, is there a card that can give your opponents a creature card out of your graveyard? I have a Lazav, the Multifarious commander deck and would love to give my opponent my Eater of Days! lol
Eater is good but give them phage kill them outright :)
Best way I can think of is endless whispers. But If you look up phage the untouchable combos many should relate
Angels trumpet + archelos combo, your welcome ;)
I play ancestral knowledge in my Rielle deck to set up the top before wheeling
I've always liked Arena of the Ancients. Any legendary matters card has a use in commander so I'm surprised it never gets talked about
“Fun” fact, I have a Grimgrin, Corpse Born deck and it runs Arena of Ancients always fun when I get it out
Ancestral knowledge is great 👍I want to make a deck that uses the Quandrix dean from strixhaven, mainly the backside Imbraham not Keane, and just exile my library then pluck some infinite/win combo in simic. What do you think?
Interesting old card suggestion: Crown of ages.
Was going to say ashling prerogative seems like a token card or hard? build around.
Arena of the ancients is fantastic in Traxos vultron
Arena of ancients would be nasty in kalamax
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason that when you select the image for the older cards you recommend, you seem to choose the MTGO version? I only notice it because I end up having to look them up when not immediately familiar with the card to determine the associated set.
This was not meant to be a negative comment, I absolutely love the content and usually watch these videos within a day of release. Keep up the good work.
it just looks clearer and easier to read. some of those old cards look awful. plus the text has usually been adjusted.
Just out of curiousity would angel's trumpet resolve after say Obeka's ability?
i play artificers intuition! very very good
Is there a list of all the cards Demo has showcased in these videos?
Precognition field is an interesting card when you get to p
I play angels trumpet in my Darien deck it's got a lot of weird artifacts in it
So you mentioned Ancestral Knowledge as a self-mill card for Muldrotha Decks, but it doesn't actually work in practice the way you really want it to work. The cards are exiled from the Ancestral Knowledge, and to get the most out of Muldrotha you definitely would rather have them in the yard. If you want your Muldrotha to be more of a combo-off deck than fine, but there are also just better commanders and cards that do this better, and for what you're looking for. Thrasios is the obvious pick, but for something like Muldrotha, it in a large way goes against it. IMO a better card to add to this list is-
Burning Rune Demon-
For a Muldrotha/ANY reanimator deck, this card is absolutely the single best card you can ever put into a Muldrotha deck. The card has a lot of text but in essence it is a 6-CMC, 4BB 6/6 Flying demon that has an ETB to tutor ANY two cards in your deck. you just get them. There is the hoop/hurdle that your opponent decides which of the 2 cards goes to your hand and which goes to the yard, but WHO CARES! you are running Muldrotha, or Sharuum, or any reanimator. And best of all its a permanent/creature! if it dies, or you sack it for some cool shenanigans you can just DO IT AGAIN!!! this card is way better to drop onto a list. Especially since its so new and slept on at tables! AND, icing on the cake, its currently priced at $2-3. THATS INSANE!!!!! Who doesn't want to just pull the best 2 combo pieces out of your deck? And even if it dies, its an etb. Bar a counterspell, which lets be real thats the issue with any card ever so thats not really an issue, you just get the effect. Sleek as all heck, no idea why its so cheap. Should be an auto-include in any deck that runs black imo.
i didn't mention it as self mill. i mentioned wood sage as self mill. they work in tandem. you set up the top of your library with ancestral knowledge, get the card you want with your draw then mill the ones you want with wood sage or something else.
@@edhdeckbuilding i mean i see what your getting at, but i still just wouldn't run it. There are just way better options out there for decks like that, and not even expensive ones either. I played it about a year ago and just ended up cutting it because there were just other combos and cards that did exactly that but better.
there are always better options. and better options will get printed in the near future i'm sure. these lists aren't about the best options, they're about doing something different and interesting. perhaps you should watch the video i posted on friday: th-cam.com/video/BHgDyutfOmQ/w-d-xo.html
@@edhdeckbuilding i get its commander, and anyone can play anything they want. i get what your saying in the video suggestion. All im saying is, i think the card is fine as is, i would probably run it in a multitude of other combo oriented decks and not worry about the cumulative upkeep at all, 10 cards is digging pretty deep. But like its hard for me to consider running it for something like Muldrotha specifically
@@edhdeckbuilding I would go so far as to say how bout this, Ill slide it back into the deck and see how well it goes, and if i find better luck with it with a second go, ill be happy to redact my original post.
Holy fuck arena of the ancients would be fucking crazy in my traxos vehicles deck, too bad I am not mean enough to run it.
Ashlings is amazing against a Edgar Markov Deck.
Choose even and all the tokens and Edgar Comes tapped Into play
11: Breath of Fury is good for token commander decks.
Ashes to Ashes in a Vilis deck. Pay 3 exile 2 non artifact creatures and draw 5 cards
Ancestral knowledge is strong but unfortunately pretty laborious to resolve especially in a blink deck.
I use perogative in my heartless hidersugu edh. Allowing him to half life totals the turn he comes into play is important bc people kill him asap
Season of the Witch is another older card that forces attacking. A bit pricy, though.
I need arena of the ancients in my Bosh decks
hmmmmm... ancestral knowledge is headed to Jeleva;s house
Ansestral knowledge would be decent in a yuriko deck
Ye good'ol arcanum wings, this video's likes.
First!
@Schulman Tal hahaha
Ashlings prerogative in obosh tbh
So there's 19 videos with 10 cards each thats 190 cards I think my decks too large now stop making videos im getting overwhelmed
