    Actually slicer with trample vs a chump blocker is ok if the player controlling him just assigns all the combat damage to the blocker. It doesn't have to trample over.

      true but i’m sure one of the aims of the video was to bring light to some other lesser known power houses. pretty much everyone and their mother knows about atraxa or korvold. not to mention i’m pretty sure they’ve discussed korvold and etali on some other “remove on sight” style videos

    What's funny is that apparently Thassa's Oracle is considered the meme/troll wincon of Nadu decks since you can brick your turn by running into it too early in your Nadu loop. Apparently people prefer to Hullbreaker Horror sol ring loop into finale of devastation because it's much more consistent. Crazy how the non-determinism of the deck makes Thoracle look less appealing

    I slipped Elesh Norn into my Kudo, King Among Bears, deck and she really boosts it's power level. The two cards mesh together in a way that's both intuitive and fun for the deck's pilot. The only problem is that if you don't have her, playing your kudo decks makes it an awful lot harder against Krenko, Mob Boss, because all of the goblins are also made into 2/2 bears. Lent Krenko to a friend of mine when testing Kudo for the first time and it was a heck of a lot harder.

    • @erichunt1974
      @erichunt1974 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I may have written this comment a bit too early. Since my Kudo deck in particular was referenced, there was a game where I had both Champion of Lambholt and Ayula, Queen Among Bears in my opening hand and I immediately became the villain of magic the gathering. Even Krenko, Mob Boss was powerless to stop me that game.

    A note, doesnt Kutzil not work with Kudo with 1/1s becoming 2/2s as Kudo sets their BASE power and toughness to 2/2 so to Kutzil its as if their stats havent changed and so without counters there would be no benefit.

    • @NateFinch

    LOL I put Slicer in my The Rani deck, it be super fun since you can keep adding Mark of the Rani to Slicer and the Doublestrike gives a potential 2 clues, from the combat damage trigger on each opponents turn. The deck can be really fun since it goads creatures while the innocuous clues stack up and win you the game from Mechanized Production or Cyberdrive Awakener ;p

    Kudo serriusly is a pretty strong commander. At least if you play against creature bassed strageties. Often because it crushes everyones else creatures whil you are playing creatures whit effects that get boosed you end up whit a board that is overwhelmingly stronger then everyone else as long as kudo is in play. It also slows the game way down because it is hard to attack each other if everything is a 2/2

    What if you put Helm of Hosts in that first Elesh Norn deck? Her abilities stack, you'd make it impossible for opponents to play any creatures whatsoever

    • @paulszki
      @paulszki 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Helm of the Host is a super strong effect, sure, but that's another 9 mana. If Elesh Norn is out, it's probably best to accelerate towards a win or to draw into cards that keep her on the board. Helm of the Host admittedly does both (gives your guys another 2 power to swing with and if elesh gets removed, you still have a copy out).
      But if I untap with Elesh in play and I have 9 mana to spend there's any number of spells that can win the game for me. E.g. Moonshaker Cavalry (the white Craterhoof Behemoth) for 8 mana or something like Grand Crescendo (isntant x-spell, make x weenies and give your stuff indestructible for a turn. play to protect your elesh from removal but also put seven 3/3 creatures into play with elesh norn and 9 mana out and on your untap just end one player.)
      Playing Helm of the Host for sure isn't a "mistake" but it's also not some super special synnergy. You're just doubling up on Elesh Norn and if they can't deal with that, then they couldn't deal with any number of other big spells you can conceivably cast for 9 mana. It's basically "make a clone" outside blue colors ... but for colorless 9 mana. It's still very cool!

      @@Tuchpi nah he’s tougher. The whole table is on a 3 turn timer which starts as earlier at turn 3. He deals 22 or 26 commander damage in the first turn cycle, which on turn 3 is insane. Turn 4, where you are more likely to have a decent blocker, he is 9+ power/toughness so you can’t kill him without spot removal.
      That’s all without any consideration of the owner buffing or protecting the creature.
      Slicer is easier to remove being an artifact, so any artifact synergies are arguably neutral due to easier removal. He also has no trample, and no built in buffing like Alexios; evasion and hitting harder are like the two main pieces of a Voltron strategy which are both built-in for one and not the other.
