I think that one angel from Kaldheim that allows you to foretell any card, including Zendikar "Traps" which don't have foretell by themselves, is the only way to actually have a face-down trap card in Magic so far 😊.
Oh my Kaiba boy, I do appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to deal with you today. So instead, allow me to introduce you to my new favorite, Killian! The ink duelist! Do be careful Kaiba boy, or he might just write you out of this story, sending you to the shadow realm forever!!!
This is a the reason I really love EDH....you see a new card or Commander and then you see potential from it from Old cards you never really used from years ago. You get to take your collection out and just look through it all and just remember how good things were back then.
One card that I think is really good for this deck, if you go the Voltron route, is Odric, Lunarch Marshal. Most of your auras will become global auras for only your creatures. Toss in Zetalpa, Primal Dawn and you've got yourself a 2 card win con.
I really like the idea of a “Silverquill” deck. Ever since I saw the “Command” spells from the first spoiler I’ve been intrigued. I’m a Simic player at heart, but I can’t wait to see these new twists on the color combos playstyles.
Killian also works really well with auratog/faith healer synergies thanks to the discount, you can play despondency and brilliant halo for 1 and sac them over and over and with simply an enchantment payoff and some phyrexian altar you have a nice loop
After months of testing I built a spell slinging life gain Voltron. Which has honestly been working out. I highly regardless what build you take put in Hatred . 3 B B B for instant damage battle trick where you can pay life instead of mana to pump Killian. Easily kill someone by turn 3 with that card.
I would have taken this a completely different direction, taking advantage of the 2 cost reduction to removal spells seems super powerful. 2 mana utter end and there are probably a lot of different removal spells that have upsides at 4 mana, now reduced to 2.
this is exactly where I went as well when thinking about building him. I originally was going to make a Reaper King destruction deck, but I think I like this more. Besides I have too many 5 color decks!
This card goes perfectly in my Athreos, Shroud-Veiled EDH. Put a coin counter on a creature, have Killian out, and easy removal and I now control that creature!
Well, I already said Strixhaven looks like Harry Potter going to Jaden Yuki's Duel Academy, so I guess something like this was bound to happen at some point... 🙄 🤦♂️ 😂
My mind immediately went to reanimation effects. Theres a lot of "to the battlefield" reanimation effects but they mostly cost 4-5 mana if they have no downside. So if you can fill your opponents graveyards, you can be getting some monsters for very little manq with no downsides.
Orzhov auras is gonna be interesting in standard with this, with Hateful Eidolon and escape enchantments for the damn rogues Not to mention, removal becomes super cheap with this, I love it
I would suggest "Blightcaster"...giving a creature -2/-2 for each enchantment you cast could be a good source of creature removal in a aura heavy deck...imagine casting 2 enchantments for 1 or 2 mana each...maybe getting 2 cards..the effects and removing a 4/4 or 2 smaller creatures (and getting around indestructible at that)
He could be really interesting in a Feather, the Redeemed, as long as you can find a commander in Mardu that synergizes with them, or some Partner pairing that also works. With Feather and Killian out, spells you play that target your creatures come back and are cheaper.
I was thinking about the precon from 2015 call the spirits. Daxos the returned can also be good. He has an ability that allows him to make enchantment creatures that are spirit tokens that gain 1/1 for every experience counter you have. And you get an experience counter for each enchantment that you cast.
Nah, that deck never really worked for me, so I put Ghen, Arcanum Weaver at the helm and made it Mardu. Daxos the Returned is great to create cheap throwaway tokens that happen to also be enchantments, so you always have something to sacrifice for Ghen 😊.
Does anyone know how the interacts with spells that CAN target creatures, ie, sheoldred? Or targeting cards in the grave like the sepulcher primordial?
I believe it wouldn't do anything for sheoldred because it doesn't target anything on cast, idk about the primordial but I'd guess it doesn't because it's an etb not cast trigger.
Really disappointed that no Jin-Gitaxias. I really thought it was going to be real since we got green, but since wotc has a huge hard-on for green. Not really surprised.
Yo question: does the cost reduction effect targetted reanimation effects? Like nothing on the card specifies creatures on the battlefield but it seems like something that could be overlooked
things that refers to a card type are specifically talking about permanents of that type ie "all artifacts you control are indestructible" means artifact permanents you control. artifacts in gy cant have indestructible, for obvious reasons. If Killian counted things it graveyards it would have to say "target creature card" not "target creature"
And we didn't even talk about mutate creatures... okay that's more a standard thing but Kilian also works with mutate (since mutate is a targeted creature spell)
Me playing a similar Mardu deck in the near future: And now I cast the power of friendship on my Dark Magician (Killian) which gives my creatures P/T equal to my friends still alive around the table (opponents)! I will also copy Kuribo (Myr Galvanizer + Splinter Twin + Iron Myr combo) an infinte amount of times and swing for the win! My Opponent: I overload Cyclonic Rift in response Me: (┬┬﹏┬┬) ... GG my guy
I'm pretty amped for Killian. BW commanders are usually pretty boring for me, but this seems spicy, and he is going to bring me one step closer to completing my 10 guild decks
This boy seems so good but I'm more excited to see your opinion on the mono white flashback bird (because I think that one has people on either side of how good it is while this one is just a brick of solid card)
the one big think im disappointed about with the house is that theyre not really playing up any mechanical themes that represent using Ink magic. Which sucks cause thats such a cool concept
When I first saw Breena, I thought it was pretty bad. But the commander also triggers for you as well. On top of that, the ability triggers as long as the attacked opponent does not have the lowest life. (If that opponent had more life than another). I think Breena will make the game political chaos as drawing cards could cost a growing buff army. I predict the deck plans to go on a go wide strategy with creatures and spells relying on counters.
@@jeverly the deck is going to be centered around +1/+1 counters while at the same time working the board to keep the heat off my back while I build up my board state. Once everyone is done hitting each other in the face I’m free to swing wide and profit

Now if I could only put Blue-eyes White-dragon in my dragon commander deck without getting dirty looks from the rest of the table.
If you showed up with blue eyes altered over an Ugin or something I’d be hype as fuck.
-X would be PROMINENCE BURSTO STREEEEAAAAAAAMMMM!!!!!
You're only getting dirty looks because the Blue-Eyes is peeking out your card sleeves.
Dude, honestly, just get a card altar/proxy of a real dragon that looks nearly indistinguishable. Lmfao
Giving them ideas for a new secret lair :'v
Someone was going to say it eventually. Thank you for your bravery.
What do you mean? Did I miss something?
@@fernandostar3507 It's the joke in the title. "It's time to D-D-D-D-Duel" is a Yu-Gi-Oh gimmick.

I'm glad you're here for us. This seemed like a fun commander but i just don't have time lately to do research. Thank you mitch.

Toss in Zetalpa, Primal Dawn and you've got yourself a 2 card win con.
This seems like a really easy budget commander to build around.
Thank you for how much you have been doing this spoiler season! Hardest working man in Magic is definitely you!
So hyped they finally made Krim a commander
I can't believe no one's mentioned Eidolon of Countless Battles yet
As an Orzhov player AND a Yu-Gi-Oh player (and fan) I'm LOVING this
I'm excited to build around this guy! Great job with the spoilers!
Finally a Legendary Human Warlock to represent my current D&D character😁
I'm gonna buy this card, I mean I love Orzhov, and Killian is actually my son's name lol
Looks like a cool commander for pauper edh, I might try to build that
Nice aprils fool yesterday
He's so edgy, he doesn't duel with the power of friendship.
In contrast to a Yu-Gi-Oh! duel, in Commander, friendship can actually help you. Except it's called politics 😂...
@@stratoincendus3869 "Enemy of my enemy, is the enemy I will kill last." ~Worf
This is absolutely the commander I will build from this set if there is one.
Besides the pause in the D, that was a good impression!
MtG's resident Yu-Gi-Oh player as a commander 😅
This is the ONE card that is a must from this set, saw it and instantly felt i needed to build this deck.
I just can't get over how dope his art is
Last time I was this early sol ring was banned
Super excited for Killian, thanks as always for the awesome content!
Cards like cage of hands or sun clasp synergize with heroic and constellation
Killian reduces the cost for ANY creature, so now your kill spells also coat less
1:24 Perfection

Orzhov has always been my favourite, but there has never been an orzhov commmander that popped out to me until now.
Parting Thoughts would also be a great card in this deck. Pay B to destroy a creature is great, and it has the potential to draw a card or two
I would have taken this a completely different direction, taking advantage of the 2 cost reduction to removal spells seems super powerful. 2 mana utter end and there are probably a lot of different removal spells that have upsides at 4 mana, now reduced to 2.
this is exactly where I went as well when thinking about building him. I originally was going to make a Reaper King destruction deck, but I think I like this more. Besides I have too many 5 color decks!
I brewed up this EXACT style of deck just last night, I love your thoughts and cards!
Mmmm, oh yeah, I'm gonna build this Duelist a deck. Good thing I just dismantle my Feather and Blackbriar decks. Pump spells and auras, here we go!!!
Many magic the gathering players ask the question does mitch sleep?
This card goes perfectly in my Athreos, Shroud-Veiled EDH. Put a coin counter on a creature, have Killian out, and easy removal and I now control that creature!
Well, I already said Strixhaven looks like Harry Potter going to Jaden Yuki's Duel Academy, so I guess something like this was bound to happen at some point... 🙄 🤦♂️ 😂
I’d make this into a voltron deck
My mind immediately went to reanimation effects. Theres a lot of "to the battlefield" reanimation effects but they mostly cost 4-5 mana if they have no downside. So if you can fill your opponents graveyards, you can be getting some monsters for very little manq with no downsides.
The spells need to target a creature on the battlefield for the cost reduction.
Orzhov auras is gonna be interesting in standard with this, with Hateful Eidolon and escape enchantments for the damn rogues
Not to mention, removal becomes super cheap with this, I love it
When I saw him I immidiately thought of yawgmoth's vile offering
A yu-gi-oh reference on my strixhaven cards? My father will hear about this Mitch!
I would suggest "Blightcaster"...giving a creature -2/-2 for each enchantment you cast could be a good source of creature removal in a aura heavy deck...imagine casting 2 enchantments for 1 or 2 mana each...maybe getting 2 cards..the effects and removing a 4/4 or 2 smaller creatures (and getting around indestructible at that)

Oops. That was supposed to be "in a ^deck with^ Feather"
Oh my, I want to play this deck.
Would having creatures that have effects targeting other creatures on etb work?
I don't think so because the etb ability is the thing targeting, not the spell. I think bestow would work and maybe mutate?
went killian voltron with a ton of auras lmao, i loved it so much
Oooo this would be a dope enchantress deck.
I was thinking about the precon from 2015 call the spirits. Daxos the returned can also be good. He has an ability that allows him to make enchantment creatures that are spirit tokens that gain 1/1 for every experience counter you have. And you get an experience counter for each enchantment that you cast.

i'm surprised that you didn't mention conviction. i'd imagine it would be amazing for consistantly triggering heroic
mitch just to note lurrus can be used as a companion with killian
I’m doing it I’m making a Lurrus Deck with Killian as Commander.
Does anyone know how the interacts with spells that CAN target creatures, ie, sheoldred? Or targeting cards in the grave like the sepulcher primordial?
I believe it wouldn't do anything for sheoldred because it doesn't target anything on cast, idk about the primordial but I'd guess it doesn't because it's an etb not cast trigger.
So this is Breena’s competition, let’s see who wins.
I think this set could be one of the best of all time
Im actually excited about this one
Light paws is really good with this deck as well, she was going to be my commander until I saw him
did I hear somebody say "Cantrip Orzhov Voltron"? oh wait yeah it was me.
So with something like Righteous Confluence, you could reduce the cost as long as one of your three was the exile target enchantment?
No, it's specifically cost reducing spells that target one or more creatures
Got my coffee. Time for more spoils and spicy brews
Really disappointed that no Jin-Gitaxias. I really thought it was going to be real since we got green, but since wotc has a huge hard-on for green. Not really surprised.
Mitch,
Much love, you're killing it this spoiler season.
But when do you sleep?
Don't forget it also reduces mutate costs !!!
One of my favorite games ever is Epic Mickey, and this is PERFECT for a custom proxy of Mickey/Oswald
I HAD to watch this video because the title hahaha
I'm so excited for this set to drop. There's so many cards that i want to mess with.
Yo question: does the cost reduction effect targetted reanimation effects? Like nothing on the card specifies creatures on the battlefield but it seems like something that could be overlooked
things that refers to a card type are specifically talking about permanents of that type ie "all artifacts you control are indestructible" means artifact permanents you control. artifacts in gy cant have indestructible, for obvious reasons. If Killian counted things it graveyards it would have to say "target creature card" not "target creature"
I see a killian planes walker in your future....
the yugioh impression sounded like mario lol
It's now legal to shout:"I'm sending you to... The SHADOW REALM" when playing this commander.
I want a commanders quarters hat so bad! 😭
No way! Yu-Gi-Oh! Secret Lair!
can also use it for bestow or mutate.
And we didn't even talk about mutate creatures... okay that's more a standard thing but Kilian also works with mutate (since mutate is a targeted creature spell)
I have a reason to put Orzhov charm in a deck.....litty
Me playing a similar Mardu deck in the near future: And now I cast the power of friendship on my Dark Magician (Killian) which gives my creatures P/T equal to my friends still alive around the table (opponents)!

On paper, Kilian can kill on T3 with Hatred and 19 life points!
the one big think im disappointed about with the house is that theyre not really playing up any mechanical themes that represent using Ink magic. Which sucks cause thats such a cool concept
Overall seems like a super fun and cheap commander to build.
Hey Mitch keep up the great work
Where is my Frog Wizard?!
I originally read it as krillin and my first thought was "he'll die first"
Maybe some shananigans with the bestow creatures from Theros block?
I think I just found my Orzhov Commander
Aye my name is Killian, neat
Going in the 99 of my Breena
I'd be curious to know how to plan to build your Breena deck!

@@ThijsAnglim mine will be centered around the counters but at the same time political measures to work the table into doing what I want them to.
Hey I'm new to mtg! would target permanent also count as target creature? I'm guessing.. or does the card have to say target creature. Thank you!
This card looks sooooo cool !
Doesn't this technically work with creatures that have abilities that target creatures as well?
No, activating an ability does not count as casting a spell.
Oh cool orzhov storm
Would this lower the cost of mutate since it targets a creature?
And family thought they hated my Orzhov deck....
Arena is going to be hell with all the cheap removal
