    Just thought I'd clarify a lil on the Vorinclex lore, he did survive. He broke into the tyrite sanctum, tyrite being what keeps the gods immortal, nearly killed Esika, took the tyrite, and seemingly warped back to phyrexia, which is why a lot of people are hypothesizing that they're working with Tezzeret and the planar bridge.

    I'm brewing a deck named "Champions of Battle", focusing on Creatures and equipment. The catch here is that I won't cast Halvar, but only the Sword of the Realms. Any creature who wields the Sword becomes Halvar's Champion. He gives his blessing to his champions and they fight in his name. Already ready to order a couple cards when the set arrives, including Kaldhiem's own Champion, Sigrid.

    Prior to drafting, I'm most likely to make a Sarulf deck. I've been wanting to do green-black wolves since Eldraine but there weren't quite enough cards. I really like the look of Tergrid but I probably have enough mono black. But once I draft a few times, something else might really grab me that I hadn't expected, like the red-blue pirates in Commander Legends did. I love red-white but equipment bores me, so this set does me no good there. Totally agree on the showcase art. Hopefully we'll get playmats or scrolls or something for all of that.

    Well dang, what a vid! Overall it was a great vid!
    Although I was super bummed you guys didn’t dive deeper into Orvar :( he’s one of, if not my number 1 favorite legend from the set. Lots of sweet interactions besides the cantrip thing everyone’s talking about (recommend trying with Sakashima).
    Other notes is that Vorinclex, (nor doubling season or any other counter inflation) does not add more loyalty counters to PW’s when using their plus ability as its not actually adding counters but rather an activation cost or something like that.
    Also wow to Tibakt claiming the throne! He’s definitely unique, strong and fun looking but for my personal taste he’s actually toward the bottom of my list of favorite Kaldheim legends, I’m actually not even sure I’m gonna get him right away. Vorinclex, Fynn, Moritte, the selesnya token guy, Cosima, and The Prismatic Bridge all personally ran higher for me.
    Great vid as always though and a fun watch! Kaldheim is definitely a slam dunk set for me and can’t wait to play with these cards!

    Ranar had some good lore. He was a defender of a city that had all of its warrior leave for the battle field. Ranar was the most trusted of the duke I think and was talked to stay behind and protect the women and children. When there was no siege he'd teach the children how to fight. When he belived they were old enough and could take care of themselves he let the Valkyries take him. They let him defend the gates to the spirit real and dubbed him some cool name. The lore is in the pre-con deck.

    As someone who built a Sarulf counters matter deck, nah actually. It got very fast to a point where Sarulf had enough counters to spook the table, but also could not quite deal with him. Him in conjunction with Vorinclex was a blast and personally, he's among my favorite commanders from the set. But I might be biased as I love the legend he's based on.

    55:55 there's 7, and that's kind of a stretch with 4 of them unless you really heavily build around it. Blue Braids, Hokori, Koma are decent effects each upkeep, Grouphug, stax, and koma. then there's the other 4, Korona "Here's free 8 commander damage" the false god, Ephara "I may get a card if I have a flicker" God of the Polis, Seizan "Everyone gets card advantage and I'm locked to 1 color" perverter of truth, and Shizuko "Everyone gets 6 mana turn 4 except for me" Caller of Autumn

    Harald is based on a character from the History Channel's hit series, "Vikings" Harald Fairhair who had ambitions to be the first king of all Norway, the actual history is contentious, but the old Norse and Icelandic sagas do portray his as the first king of Norway supposedly his reign was from 872-930. {Wikipedia.org}

    I know you guys want/have to release your content for a new set before/around its release for optimal viewership, but I get the impression that this video was made even before the 'The Legends of Kaldheim' lore article on the mothership. Because of that and the fact that you have not actually played against/with any of these cards, makes the rankings feel very speculative. I think the rankings could be better if you waited for more information before making these videos.

    First off, cool vid I liked & subscribed. As far as Koll goes, the answer is combo. Based off the Fruity Pebbles combo, Koll has some infinite loops. Here we go, with Koll, a cheerio creature, goblin bombardment, & lightning greeves, you got an infinite damage loop. Just one example, of course there's much more to go over but I don't want to write a novel lol. There's also a lot of interchangeable pieces. Anyways I hope that helps.

    While maja is not very strong I can respect a card that makes tokens on landfall because land synergy is so strong.

    I love Narfi! He's a free roll in zombie decks as long as you run snow basics and putting him in the graveyard is a joke in those decks. As long as you do those two things, you get a 3 Mana lord that comes out of your graveyard at instant speed and can't be countered without stifle. That seems pretty hardcore to me, but as a commander it's kinda worthless

    so, if toralf has lifelink, opponent has 10 1/1 and a 4/4, you deal 2 damage to every creature with pyroclasm, can you do the 10 excess damage to the 4/4, gain 10 life, then do 8 excess damage to an opponent and gain another 8?

  • @mella4376
    @mella4376 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    As usual you guys are a delight but I think you are WAAAAY underestimating Koll's power level. He might be the best Boros commander ever released (the only real competitors being Winota and I guess Bruse Tarl), his speed and consistency in comboing off are nothing to sneeze at and the deck is hard to disrupt as it is so redundant and can threaten a combo over and over again for very little mana. Granted the "meta" is always hard to predict and he might suffer the fate of many promising Boros shells, but he does seem cEDH worthy
