The problem with cards like Saruman of Too Many Colors is that he's got a wall of text that many players will have to read and reread to fully understand. He's a card that often times will be met with, "Whatever, just tell me what happens." Players opt out of trying to understand cards like that, and Wheel of Misfortune, and that leads to not really caring what's happening on other people's boards. If, however, you've got a playgroup of experienced players, then he can absolutely be a fun and powerful Commander. Less is more, sometimes.

One thing to note with Noble Heritage. My understanding is that you will never get the beginning of upkeep trigger. As Karona is never under anyone's control at the beginning of their upkeep. At that stage she is still under the control of the previous player
@commandpower198712 күн бұрын
You still will get it. The ability is tied to a commander you own and not a commander you control, so it'll trigger on each of your upkeeps.
@kayleewatson194312 күн бұрын
@@commandpower1987 the issue is when the beginning of upkeep happens Karona isn't under your control, until the end of the the beginning of upkeep resolves, she still belongs to the previous player. .any additional ability she has that triggers at the beginning of her controllers upkeep is impossible. Her text does change with the background and if it worked it would mean it triggers om every player's upkeep.. But unfortunately because of how the game steps work the new triggered ability will never appear on the stack. I learnt this the hard way from a judge. Definitely a cool deck list! Just something you might want to look into. But the rule also means you can you use the Cultist of the absolute background and never worry about the triggered ability being used to sacrifice her
@kayleewatson194312 күн бұрын
Also means you can't target Karona with Orzhov Advokist. But again sweet deck, I love seeing someone else's take on Karona! Looking forward to more content
@kayleewatson194312 күн бұрын
You could make it work with something like Homeward Path, trigger it at the end of your last opponents turn to make sure you control Karona at the beginning of upkeep
@commandpower198712 күн бұрын
Yeah fair point I see what you're saying, that probably doesn't work which makes the card a bit useless unfortunately. Advokist should still work if you stack the triggers correctly though!

@@commandpower1987 the issue is the Command Tax will not account for the X So it will get more and more expensive and the tax won’t go into the count of impulse draw. Yeah the extra lands are nice.

Angel of serenity has more uses then to exile your own stuff to get the counters of them. its a 2 text effect so they dont go on the stack at the same time. so if you play/reanimate angel of serenity , then target 3 opponent creatures , then sacrifice it in response to the ETB the the 3 cards will just get removed. because of stack order 1. Sac resolves , putting AoS into grave 2. LTB triggers but has nothing to return since the ETB has not resolved yet. 3. ETB resoves exilen 3 cards (which will never return since AoS allready left the battlefield) this works because the ETB and LTB are seperate instances. and you get the blood tokens

I call my approach to this “Hydras cosplaying as Bears”. Most Hydras and some Tyranids are base 0/0s that etb with X +1/+1 counters on them equal to X amount of mana spent to cast them. So, due to them all being base 0/0s, they all receive a +2/+2 anthem effect from Kudo. So I’ve focused my deck around ramp to power up my Hydras as quickly as possible while also leaning to the stax side of Kudo with things like winter orb to further throw some molasses into my opponents plans.
