In Magic: the Gathering, Viashinos were recently retyped to be Lizards! I thought that meant it was a good time to take a look at the creature type.

"Elf Lizard Wizard" may be the most satisfying creature type to say out loud
King Gizzard and the elf lizard wizard
- "Vote for the Lizard not the Wizard"
And I also love that I can pinpoint the exact card by the creature type alone.
With the Viashino errata, there will be three more regular Lizard Wizards
I'm sure the card exists simply for that reason
Finally, lizards of the coast
“Coastal Lizard” should definitely be a creature at some point. Maybe if they resurrect the core set…
Coastal Rootwalla, with Madness for 0 and the ability to pump up its toughness 1/turn for low cost. Like the fat-bottomed control crabs we see pretty often.
7:40 Nice, adding "Nizzahon Top 10 Silver Medalist" to my resume.
Basking Rootwalla is my second-favorite card in the entirety of MTG. Lovely to see the little guy here.
What's your #1?
@@nickalasmontano1496 Krosan Cloudscraper. I know it's a trash card, but childhood nostalgia (aka Big creature go bonk on the Living Room floor) is just too strong.
I can envision a future where a new, heavily-pushed Lizard would shred every format and make it to the top of this list. They would have to name it Teeka's Lizard as it would be the only name that would give it justice.
Ahhhh lizards, I'm a big fan of lizards, they're pretty cool. Even though I'm more of a non-mammalian synapsid guy. I wonder if we'll ever see a Dimetrodon in MTG, just like how I wonder if we'll ever see "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!
Orazca Frillback?
@@TrumanTheGrayMerchant Ehhh, a bit too dinosaury for me but touche.
Lathnu Sailback?
@@MajicMiranda Huh, fair enough.
I love Viashino Heretic. One of my favorite cards in my Chandler (my actual name as well) Commander deck.
Give liquimetal coating / torque to him, you'll blow up almost anything!
I assume you're running Joven, the biggest Juggalo in mtg
I can't properly convey the emotional whiplash I suffered when seeing my dear friend Scorched Spitter followed promptly by my mortal enemy Frilled Mystic.
Another important part about viashino pyromancers run through standard is that there was a standard legal instant called wizzard lightning that cost 3 to do 3 but was discounted to be a lightning bolt if you controled a wizard and in mono red there was only really viashino pyromancer and one other mono red wizard that cost less than 3 mana.
Viashino Sandstalker was a great card for it's time. 4 hasty power for 3 mana was the best deal around, and like Nizzahon said putting it back into your hand wasn't 100% downside because of Cursed Scroll, and any time you can turn a downside into an upside in mtg you have the potential for competitive success. It was also good because your oppo always had to account for it after you played, even though it wasn't on the board, so even though it wasn't there it still was affecting the game. As an aggro player, any time you can turn just having mana and cards into a game changing affect back on a control deck, it was nice.
Ah yes, can't have Viashino and Lizard, but having Dog, Wolf, Fox, and Jackal is totally fine, having Wurm and Worm is fine, and having Djinn and Efreet is normal.
On Incubation//Incongruity, the reason it is seeing play in Modern Living End is because it synergises very well with Bloodbraid Marauder. Bloodbraid Marauder requires Delerium to Cascade and Incubation puts 2 card types in the graveyard. The Incongruity half rarely sees play.
Oh I'm really happy seeing Lore Drakkis in this. He was one of my favorite cards in my Izzet Drakes deck. And he was kn theme too!
I started to watch this with my lunch in a mall. At the table in front of me there are two kids. One of them has a plastic animal toy in hand... And it's a lizard. How epic.
Do Top Ten Split Second cards, please
Riveteers Requisitioner was a nice two drop viashino. The new one drop reckless lackey kind of takes its place now. Not sure which is better
Shoutout to obstinate familiar, my favorite MTG lizard
I remember thinking it was odd that the anthropomorphic cats of mirrodin and regular cats of say Amonkhet were both considered just cats. But from a tribal support standpoint, I couldn't complain much. Having good support locked behind semantics would've been a pain
The first lizard i can remember is the leaping lizard from homelands.
Viashino Sandstalker was one of the first cards i ever got
Series idea: decks built around 1 broken card ex: Nykthos
Shoutouts to Frilled Mystic for carrying my Simic +1/+1 deck to victory when my LGS drafted Ravnica Remastered
Hell yeah!
Reminder: we DID have a non-Viashino one-of sentient Lizard in Arcavios.
And Lizard Warrior!
So, when they retire a creature type, do all creatures of that retired type become errata’ed (in the oracle text) to the non-retired type?
For example, will all previously typed Viashino creatures now become lizards?
Eeeeeeexactly.
Are Merfolk becoming Fish then?
Incubation Or Incongruity is a very strange combination.
Always kinda thought Varishino's (cherries lol) were more akin to kobolds. Lol
They were: They're both reptilian humanoids descended from dragons.
Does this mean all minotaurs are now classified as cows? All gorgons are snakes, all merfolks are fish?
No no and no
No, those are all fantasy creatures that predate Magic, as opposed to Viashino/Leonin/Loxodon etc. being MtG-specific takes on lizard/cat/elephant people. Cephalid might end up becoming octopus, though.
@@ViashinoWizardThen explain nagas.
You got a point
@@jellywillreturn they announced they would be replacing that too (with Snake), but for some reason unlike the Rakshasa in the same set they... didn't change them.
first naga now vishino what is next
#3 - still irritated the later card wasn't a different type mash-up.
Lizards of the Coast
What were the points for tte Roowallas ?
50 and 28
I ❤ rootwall
when you see it!!!
LIZARDS!!!❤
Frilled Mystic all the way
merfolk are still the best
Striking while the controversy's hot, eh?
Rip viashino
Where's Ignoble Hierarch?
Being a Goblin somewhere else.
I am the top lizard 🦎 in mtg. For i am lizards of the toast. Do not forget or else.
THEY RETIRED VIASHINO??
The creature type, not the species.
So they remove viashino, a already established creature type and at the same time add new animal types all the time (mice not just being rats for example)? Talk about inconsistency in designdirection
I really wish theyd make a bazaar of Bagdad stule card where it would draw 1, discard 2 so it could still enable these kinds of decks in commander because original bazaar is so dang expensive
Just proxy it
: )
Retiring Viashino was a mistake. WOTC could have developed the Viashino as thier own original lizardfolk. Instead they threw it away.
I was super attached to Viashino in general. I won't say that I see the value in consolidating them all, but after the slap in the face that was having Kylox on the ads in Karlov Manor only to have him die immediately in the story, I really feel awful.
There are still viashino in the game, the only thing changing is the creature type. Others like the ainok, leonin, rhox and loxodon are their own animalfolk, they weren’t “thrown away”
We're both bird guys, you and I. We have a love bird and a green cheeked conuren But i just got a pet lizard (dispar uromastyx) and she is my world. My partner is into lizards so this means a lot to us!
this is a disappointing change. i wish they would also do the same treatment for werewolves, errata them to become just wolves
Hopefully Bloomborrow will bring our cold-blooded friends some support!
Why the hell didn't they do the same thing for homarids into crabs BTW? They're even less anthropomorfic than Viashinos FFS!
Literal answer (per MaRo's blog), iirc: Because they're lobsters, not crabs.
@@ceulgai2817 Then why aren't they...oh, forget it!
He sounds even more depressed than usual O.o
Please Top 10 Basic Lands
I get why they changed viashino to lizards, but still, it feels like this game loses more and more of its personality with every set...
