If you wanted to you could have Zirda, the Dawnwaker as your companion! Obviously you’d have to cast it before Codie hits the field, but it will reduce the cost of Codie’s ability. And since cycling is also an activated ability, you can reduce those costs, sometimes to the point of free!
@ioioioio59973 жыл бұрын
"Abilities you activate **that aren’t mana abilities** cost {2} less to activate." Codie's ability is a mana ability, so Zirda does not work with him. Also Zirda can't make anything free: "This effect can’t reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana", so no cycling for free.

@@GarrettKearns You just have to get Jeskai Ascendancy in play before you play Codie. So, that's basically a near infinite combo. You tap Codie and gain 5 mana. You cast a 1 mana spell, draw cards, untap Codie. Since you have 4 mana left, you tap Codie again for a net of 1 mana to cast another 1-mana spell, which you most likely have then do it again. I guess it stops if you ever don't have a 1 mana spell to cast. Add Song of Creation for more fun.

Note that when you cast brainstorm Codies trigger will resolve first, so you either have to cast brainstorm before you cast the other spell. Or preferably as a response to the trigger. The reason you'd want to cast it as a response is, lets say that you either; don't have an extra blue for brainstorm, or have only 4 mana available to you activate Codies ability. I'm sure there's a few more reasons but in the most common cases this is true. Also Codies ability also you to use it for cycling since it doesn't say to only use it to cast instant/sorceries. I'd also suggest the other brainstorm type effects for consistency. Edit: Sorry, just got to the part where he speaks about more brainstorm effects but the points still stand. Also have a good day!

I'm building a Reading Rainbow deck with the Prismatic Bridge as commander, playing exactly codie and worldspine wurm as nonland permanents in the deck. My only one mana spells are djeru's resolve, emerald charm, dream grip, twiddle, chain stasis, claim the firstborn, and serene remembrance. This way, when i cast a 2 drop off of codie's ability, i always cascade into a spell that can untap codie for another activation, or into serene remembrance to shuffle the other one drops back into the library. With lots of copy spells to stack multiple codie activations, and lots of other 2 drops. The bookwurm plan just gives the bridge something to do every turn. If I can sacrifice it to a costly plunder or fling effect consistently, the bridge can keep playing it out of my deck every turn.

Mitch I love your content, but damn it man. I had a janky cycle deck from ikoria that I was going to rebalance with Codie at the helm for exactly this combo. I was so excited for this combo but now I know that the first time I sit down with this deck someone's going to be like "oh so it's just the commander's quarters deck" and that is just super disheartening when you're kind of banking on the element of surprise so that people don't pithing needle living end or remove your graveyard in response to activating Codie off an Opt or something. This is not the first time this has happened. As I said I love your videos but leave some good (budget) ideas out there for the rest of us to discover XD
@Darchias3 жыл бұрын
Pithing Needle is ineffective at stopping this combo. It would stop you from Suspending Living End, but would not affect hitting it with Codie's ability. Codie's ability is a mana ability, so it also cannot be shut off with Pithing Needle.
