The Master Transcendant can cheat your own fatties into play. You can target yourself on etb then wait a turn. When the rad counter trigger goes on the stack, you can play a vamp or worldly tutor to put razaketh (or hullbreaker or broodlord) on top then mill it, then tap commander. It also combos with cephalid illusionist and commander and lightning greaves.

[@mimic_ssb]

20:25 "Poliferate!" The cheerful tone of voice makes you sound like you're casting a magic spell 💕

[@tylerhennessy2701]

I really enjoy the random rating systems. I don’t see any broken cards yet but I think we will see something stand out over time.

[@markbradshaw3066]

The Master, Transcendent 1 card combos with vampiric tutor, imperial seal, and worldly tutor because you cast him, put hoarding broodlord on top, mill it with the rad counters from last turn and then get saw in half. Cast the saw, get food chain and your food chain outlet. Cast food chain and then your food chain outlet and win the game. 1 card combo with 1 mana tutors is pretty huge.

[@bensteinhauser784]

Very disappointed we didn't see a commander that can easily generate junk tokens. That's easily the strongest mechanic from the set and could have had legs as a game plan. Oh well, maybe the mechanic will return in future dystopian Kaladesh when everyone is scrounging through the wreckage of past mechanical wonders.

[@dasfabelwesen]

There is the 3/2 that makes mana when you sac junk. Everything about that card screems value.

[@TheBestPraetor]

​@dasfabelwesen the problem is there aren't too many ways to make junk

[@arthenah7192]

​@@TheBestPraetor rose herself actually makes junk tokens whenever you attack somebody, basically up to three each turn, since its just whenever a creature you control attacks somebody, so she kinda just does the whole thing herself

[@donotunsubscribe]

You know the set sucks for cEDH when every card only maybe sees play in Ardenn decks 😆

[@matthewherrmann9526]

Cogsworth, handy helper is so bad in arden. I have an arden / tana deck together right now and I can confidently say that card is garbage. If I had 3 mana to put it out, why would I not play the equipment instead and save myself a card? Because ward 2 is so good I should spend a card on that? If rather test silver shrouded costume. At least that thing is protection and ends the game with enough equipment.

[@CKarasu13]

Think there's something to Rex, Cyberhound. Maybe Rose, too. But not too much else.

[@matthewherrmann9526]

@@CKarasu13 I hold out hope for silver suit costume. I know 2 mana is a lot for a can't target effect, but I'm looking it in decks where the main strategy leans on attacking. Like, for instance, what about Najeela. If you can get it on najeela she becomes much harder to interact with and her combo now doesn't rely on anything but herself connecting. Or what about if Grolnok ever became a thing; he's now unable to be blocked and you can get that 3 cards of advantage every turn. Not sure how many decks revolve around attacking to end the game, but I feel like it should be considered, maybe in those decks?

[@Lefthandedprick]

It might be too slow but you could target yourself with the rad counters from The Master Trascendant. Next turn respond to the trigger with worldy tutor, vampiric tutor, lim-dul's vault, brainstorm, etc and put a creature on top of your deck to reanimate. Something like hullbreaker horror for infinitie flickering of your commander if you have infinite mana with mana rocks

[@deadpool-yb1pw]

The Michelin guide comes from the same company that makes car tyres. It started with the fact that they wanted more people to buy their tires. They recalled that a guide to specific restaurants would increase tire sales by forcing people to drive to the recommended restaurants.

[@Buych778]

One thing not mentioned about Radstorm, it can be easily played while piggybacking off your opponents storm count...it is much wiser to hold it up for the moment where your opponents get into a counter battle, and you just top it off by killing them all...

[@TheBraxton17]

I think nuclear fallout being able to win the game presents more flexibility than toxic deluge just being able to control what you want removed and what you want to stay, plus sometimes the fact that you have to pay life into toxic deluge can be very relevant when you're already paying life for cards or to cast spells.

[@drew-id]

Not sure flexibility is the term I'd use. Maybe versatility?

[@rdumalaog]

38:51 I play a high power Aurelia Helm/Sword of Feast and Famine-Aggravated Assault deck, and seeing Inventory Management in the spoilers got me pumped

[@Ducklord53]

I plan on putting Radstorm into my high power Mizzix deck. Mainly because spamming more experience counters onto Mizzix is a win-more play, but the deck also copies spells A LOT and so I plan on using Prologue to Phyresis + Radstorm to kill the table!

[@danielgamboa6130]

20:09 my childhood audhd obsession with Home Depot swatches lead me to arrive at a conclusion of aquamarine 3252 C Pantone

[@rowrow_]

The point you made about PIP-BOY is such a sleeper analysis. Card is effectively ramping for 2 lands every turn in the right deck, and it has modality for when you don't need mana. That floor is super above rate.

[@dwrecked9329]

Can you explain where it's effectively ramping 2 lands a turn? I think I'm missing it

[@SpoonCopy]

@@dwrecked9329It untaps 2 lands every combat.

[@dwrecked9329]

@@SpoonCopy I'm not commenting on if the card is good or bad... But i sure hope you are experienced enough in magic to understand the difference between having an extra 2 mana (a sol ring) and ramping 2 lands per turn (an explosive vegetation every turn)... Those things are not even in the same league of discussion

[@danielgamboa6130]

22:19 pet spells that give opponents poison counters on scryfall, infectious bite, infectious inquiry, phyresis outbreak, prologue to phyresis and vraskas fall are all actually solid cards that fit the theme and accomplish the counter goal for radstorm, now there just needs to be a good shell

[@hussefalfonsoabizaidherrer515]

really dug the pip-boy 3000 analysis its all about looking where people wouldnt usually look and the sol ring comparative makes sense

[@wingsofwar15]

One thing to point out with The Master, Transcendent is that it does have a couple interesting combo lines besides Food Chain, notably Cephalid Illusionist with something like Shuko that equips for zero. You can combo out and mill your whole library and then put Thoracle onto the battlefield with your commander. Still maybe not great, since it opens up a lot of points of interaction and requires 2 extra cards, but you are in decent colors for tutoring all of the pieces with things like Urza's Saga, Transmute Artifact, all the black tutors and the green creature tutors. You also can lean into mid-range with things like Seedborn and The One Ring. Probably not really that amazing, especially lacking real card or mana advantage in the command zone and needing to survive a turn to be able to even tap, but it has some interesting lines besides just being a dig for Food Chain build perhaps.

[@chevalteam5068]

also, you can ETB give the rad counters yourself and in your next main, in response to the rad trigger, you can worldly/vampiric tutor a hullbreaker horror or hoarding broodlord onto the top of your library. It then gets milled and reanimated with the master

[@jaydonthewarrior636]

The answer to your radstorm question could be Mizzix to proliferate the experience counters.

[@zanyzachboy]

Nuclear Fallout while niche, will probably also find a spot in Tasigur lists. In Tasigur, some list are already on languish similar to Tivit, and this is an direct upgrade over Languish, while also serving as a backup wincon, while also serving as conditional wipe, that also makes casting your commander cheaper. Think you guys rated it perfectly

[@kidwhosucks3848]

Radstorm is a grixis storm card, this enables infect, black and rituals, all will be one, Phyresis on your Commander, etc.

[@mrgarneau4895]

There are only 6 cards in the game that give every opponent a poison counter, Ichor Rats, Infectious Bite, Infectious Inquiry, Phyresis Outbreak, Prologue to Phyresis and Vraska's Fall. I do run a Atraxa, Turbo Proliferate deck and I definitely want Radstorm. It's also an Instant, so you can do it in response to the storm player going off

[@seanedgar164]

You can also get infinite untaps with The Master and Intruder Alarm and either a sac outlet or creature that sacs itself. Mana dorks or an altar get infinite mana. More casual but still?

[@lcaesar7759]

Probably more along the lines of high power, but I ran a proxy of Radstorm in my Vadric storm deck with Prologue and killed everyone with infect. Fun card. Only really worked cause of Vadric mana cost discounts.

[@commenter1430]

So I don't know why it was implied that the master transendent can't be used on yourself, because that is obviously what the idea for the card is. If you are playing it early, you are casting it, rad countering yourself, then next turn you can mill two and summon something from the milled cards. More interestingly, since rad happens during pre-combat main phase you can untap, and draw, then on trigger in the main phase you could vampiric tutor or worldly tutor to top deck any creature you want in your deck and return it from grave for free which is not nothing for sure.

[@TheBraxton17]

Could pip boy 3000 see play in najeela, you are already going for infinite combats and doesn't this make it easier if you can untap two lands everytime you attack?
