7:08 the first time I drew Redress Fate was right after a Farewell hit...

Cloudstone curio works pretty well with rendmaw, as the crows can trigger it

I pulled her in the nightmare bundle. Im going to build a deck with her. Thanks for the suggestions.

Why not Myrel, Shield of Argive?

What are your thoughts on adding Aminatou the fateshifter for the “Draw a card, then put a card from your hand on top of your library” to the deck?

I got this precon commander and I'm not sure if a strategy of draining people down but also gaining life for it would be good.

Only three removals? Dang.

I don’t think Delney will make Welcoming Vampire trigger twice

Leyline of Anticipation is not needed here since miracle can be cast on opponent's turn.

Arthreos shroud veiled actually can take cards that are being exiled or killed, so only way around is back to hand or remove counter. But love this deck, good vod

Love the deck tech! I feel like a lot of the lists I’ve seen just assume Niko is new Brago and build them as such. Glad to see you didn’t fall into that pitfall.

Miracle for enchantments is such a fun theme. Great deck look forward to building it

Thanks for sharing your deck tech dawg. I’m actively building Niko and this has been helpful :)

I snagged this list and have been tweaking it a little: - Tarmogoyf Nest is a great include. 2 card types, and creates bodies where card-types in the graveyard matter. At the very least you'll generally be able to make 4/5 tokens for 2 mana (sorcery, instant, artifact-creature, etc) - Gothmog, Morgul Lieutenant also grants your creature tokens deathtouch (no attacking necessary) - meaning even if your opponents have beefy blockers when your own crows swing out they'll be taking things down with them. - Oasis Gardener - good mana dork that fits the scarecrow theme - The Swarmweaver - multi-type, creates bodies, and provides an anthem to other bodies you create using things like twitching doll - Strionic resonator, Lithoform Engine, Roaming Throne - copy commander triggers (need more scarecrows for best benefit on the throne) - Rootgrapple - dual card type non-creature permanent removal and card draw - Formless Genesis - repeatable dual-type sorcery (hopefully with the various card draws you'll have plenty of lands to discard) I'm sure there's more but these are what I found in my tinkering so far. I'm excited to try this deck out.

First!

This is exactly what I been looking for. SUBSCRIBED

The Whip won’t get a Rendmaw trigger, since you aren’t playing the returning creature. I still like the Whip though.

i dont understant why killing other peoples crows if they are goaded, they are literally beneficial to you because is damage your opponents have to deal with and you cant be targeted by it

Not a bad start to a deck tech. Sword of Feast and Famine + Aggravated Assault seems like a no brainer. Same with Light of Promise + Sunbond. Makes it easy to threaten commander damage for an easy victory. Wouldn't hurt to lean into the lifegain with Aetherflux Resevoir and Well of Lost Dreams.

How are you supposed to make so many birds when you only get four tokens in the deck? Are you supposed to buy more

Something very important to be noted is that using Trickster's Elk as removal via bestow won't trigger Rendmaw's ability. It's decent if you just want to play a 3/3 and make some birds and have it be able to pivot as removal, but it can't do both at the same time, you get forced to choose: "On the stack, a spell with bestow is either a creature spell or an Aura spell. It's never both, although it's an enchantment spell in either case."

Sadly, whip of Erebos won't trigger Rendmaw when reanimating a creature from grave, as Rendmaw specifies "play" Otherwise, nice list. I'm snatching up that Raking Canopy tech for myself

Enduring Innocence works a lot like welcoming vampire with trade-offs. No flying, but lifelink and more survivability.

Coalition flag on a Mistfolk. Keep the spells you like. Counter the one's you don't.

I think your deck is lacking haste and protection for Arabella. She need to wait a complete table turn before attacking so there is a lot of chance she will never be able to.

I think no matter the strategy with this guy you should include a few donate effects to completely shut off opponents damage if necessary.

Good vid. This card fits right in with zinia as an alternate win con. Imagine offspringing Anabella and procing her effect twice 😂 Edit: forgot about legendary rule for a sec

Great video. I was thinking about how to weave Arabella into my Zinnia deck and your video gives a lot of great ideas!

After having gotten a few reps in with my own zinnia deck, there's a couple of observations: Things that cause additional triggers are infinitely more powerful than token doublers. It's already been said, but i wanted to reiterate.... but i wouldn't take out the token doublers; i would just run both effects alongside each other - they're both good for the deck. Nesting dovehawk is insane. It's a 1 card army when combined with your commander. It gets pretty out of hand on the turn you play it, and if you're allowed to untap with it then not much short of a board wipe is gonna set you back. "When another creature etb's" effects are extremely underrated here, particularly the ones that deal damage to each opponent. I do get your remarks about the high mana cost of things; it's very easy for people to handwave the offspring cost away, but it massively changes how cards play. Anyway, i said i also have a zinnia deck - i include the link for reference: www.archidekt.com/decks/9034929/the_kids_arent_alright It's 95% correct to the physical deck (a couple of cards have been swapped out & not yet updated on the list).

Great video! Very detailed and well made. You deserve much more subs. Keep it up.

How do you have less than 200 subs despite having high-quality videos?? The editing of vids, thumbnails, and deck techs are really enjoyable. You deserve much more attention, you're amazing! I'm liking and doing my part

Rakdos Charm is all star against go wide boards imo

Maybe archetype of imagination? Its not a sea monster but it gives everything you own flying and clips the wings of all your opponents

I think the question is, is this better than Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin? I'm not sure this is better but this is absolutely something that goes in the 99.

I will definitely be putting solphim Mayhem Dominus into the deck to really help the opponents lose more heath than I do with all the pings

With all the small souces of damage i think damage multiplication would work well. Especially that 1 legendary from ixalon who makes its a solid 4 damage from any red source. On that note blood chiefs ascension would be nasty as its easy for us to set up and the life gain helps offset some of the self pings.

So I'm pretty new to magic, say if an opponent loses life on their turn for reasons unrelated to my playing field. Does Valgaboth still get his +1/+1 and I still get to draw?

Love the list, and thanks for the positive video man. It's boring to see people dunking on a cool card just because it isn't broken/powercrept

The problem with Valgavoth is that: It only works on opponents turn Only once as well And the opponent whose turn it is, is the only one need to lose life for the ability to triggers. Making only +3/+3 draw 3 at maximum in 1 rotation

is the ward cost for opponents who target him or is that for the caster?

Nice vidéo, any other commander from duskmorn soon ?

He is a good comander,but i am afraid that Obnixilies the captive kingpin is the better choice .

This is a good setup man! Good work

Love the idea

Just the video I needed

You can get more bang for your buck running panharmonicon effects since offspring is an etb ability. Annointed Procession will give you 3 Spirited Companions drawing 3 cards for 4 mana Panharmonicon will give you 3 spirited companions drawing 6 cards for 4 mana

Interesting idea leaning into the one power idea, theres a lot of ways to have fun with Zinnia. One of my favourites is crawling chorus i run mondrak and ojer taq so paying the offspring nets 6 plus the original which i can sacrifice for mondraks indestructible counter creating 21 toxic phyrexian mites, might have to put anointed procession in there also. That pumps it to enough to swing for lethal with poison

Seeing this video has inspired me to consider throwing some infect creatures into my Bria deck.

Nice strategy and deck, I'll try to build on myself ty. It was evene a great budget deck till 4:40, how unfortunate 😅🤣
