Is Niko REALLY the Best Commander from Duskmourn? (Yes!) | Niko Light of Hope | MTG EDH Deck Tech

In addition to getting more shards, if you use Nesting Dovehawk's populate to copy a shard that is cloning a creature, you get a permanent copy of that creature. To quote a judge I checked with, "Yes, the copies you create will be copies of the nonlegendary creature that the shards were themselves copies of. The new copies don't have a duration on their continuous effect. The copy effect applies indefinitely for them."

Forgot to mention that, that is definitely awesome!

[@hiddenleaf414]

Damn so if you make your shards token copies of nesting dovehawk itself before combat then at the beginning of combat you get to make 2 more copies of nesting dovehawk that you get to keep.

Add in identity thief. It's a way to get around the no targeting legendary rule and it also blinks your own commander.

[@TipsyGoat]

I love that one 😁

Great video! I was planning on building a Brago deck, but would you consider this to be a lot stronger?

[@TipsyGoat]

I think the blink Niko isnt too strong. If you are thinking of making a blink denk I would prefer Brago or Yorion or Abdel. Don't forget to put enough wincons in it!

[@BR1NSOP]

Extremely cool list, just jammed it in the playtester while listening to this and it's great!

Nice video guys - great tech ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Another great card is nulldrifter. Tap 3, it enters the battlefield, you draw 2. Blink it. All your Shards get annihilator 1. It comes back into play, draw 2 more cards. Significant value engine

[@TipsyGoat]

Great card! Annihilator 1 is still fun

[@verzen]

I just built Niko as a clone deck. Sure, there are much better options... but i think it's funny for a player to drop some huge creature only for me to kill them because of it.
