    Talrand's an expert in solidarity, brother.

    The Watcher in the Water is a great new budget find for blue decks that want to draw on opponents turns, it’s a must-include for me

    As a teamster, I appreciate the shout-out brother. United we bargain, divided we beg!

      I stand in solidarity. With just a fraction of the wealth accumulated by these monsters, they could make working conditions better for their employees. We are more exploited than ever.

    Love Talrand, he was in one the duels of the planes walker games on PlayStation when i got back into magic - had so much fun using him. Finally completed my own edh deck and sleeving that up tonigh.
    Thanks for the video Brother!

    Along the lines of Spell Swindle and Desertion, and old favorite of mine is Spelljack. Nobody expects Spelljack. Does what it says on the tin.

      That's a cool card with some absolutely wild art.

    I really like using mystic reflection with docent of perfection and a mass token maker spell. In my grixis deck, i think I used it on army of the damned to make an insane amount of Final Iterations and then an insane amount of really powerful flying wizards. Definitely some wacky stuff you can do with these cards. Great video and thanks for sharing! I'm always inspired to buy more fancy coated cardstock when I watch your videos

    Turn to Frog, a man after my own heart. Its not the best option, but it always a fun one and generally doesn't make people mad and that is its real power. 👍

    Love your videos, brother. Love the style. I’d love to see you tackle Minn, Wily Illusionist, she’s one of my favorite commanders and can do some wacky, janky stuff, brother

    • @bettercommander

      Minn is a great card. I have used it in certain decks.

    I think for the budget deck you should try curfew and especially retraced image maybe over like mindstone. It’s (RI) blue ramp and can get you a fishy boi trigger!

    • @bettercommander
      @bettercommander  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Those are both fantastic suggestions. The mindstone is out!

      Welcome aboard! I grew up in a very pro-union situation. We have a really broken system right now, and are being exploited for our labor. The only way to fight that is with collective action.

    I think the only deck I'm using Talrand in is Chun-Li. It's all about spell slinging, so why not get some flyers along the way.

    OK hear me out (*adjusts tinfoil hat*)
    Wizards continuously and unnecessarily reprints certain cards in order to use them as a marker to measure the impact on secondary market value.
    Right? I mean, Talrand is fine in fact I have a Talrand deck... but who asked for this? 12 reprints 🤔

      Damn, so he's a bellwether for Reprint Equity. The damned lizard people at Wizards are pulling the wool right over our eyes.

      @@bettercommander yeah but I was trying to make her work the same you did, using zombie tribal lords and such, and just found that way too much stuff that was better on the field would end up going to the graveyard, and I never really used her activated ability, so I've been looking for the "Esper Talrand" brew that generates bodies using her activated ability by exiling instants and sorceries that you've used to control the board, but that also ended up being pretty jank
      just feels like there's no way to play her to her full strength
