Powerful Creatures that Want to Die | Overpowered Death Triggers | Magic the Gathering

[@thedoomslayer8900]

I can't even begin to describe how much value Protean Hulk has generated me over the years

[@chickennuggcorgi]

He got that protein shake power

[@oddvert1089]

Good name for a pre-workout lol

[@Tonz_of_Fun]

I was able to get over 100 vamp token with Elenda in my Teysa deck. Felt so good to get into the low levels of elf token generation.

[@elipetrou9308]

Yeah she’s so good. And she gets bigger twice as fast

[@TheArcSet]

I do love to combine Wall of Blood and Mercy Killing, in my opponents end step. There's also an aura that has her effect.

[@trollzynisaacjohan1793]

Use bloodline keeper.

[@WayfarersBauble]

16:46 in the usual place. My lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.48 for my The List printing.

[@Magikarp_king]

Spore frog does so much work. Little dude has saved me so many times.

[@annemorganna8312]

The best part of Keiga is either you control all other creatures, or you get a bunch of 5/5 flying dragons that I find to be cute so it’s the perfect mono blue deck for me

[@dreddbolt]

Duuuuuuuude. Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel in my Nadier // Miara mono-black elves partner and tokens deck. He can drop three 1/1 green elf warrior creature tokens right off the bat when he leaves the battlefield for any reason. Your tokens don't even need to hit the yard. They can just LTB for any reason as well! Also, you can run non-creature tokens like Gold, Treasure, Clues, and Food to assist with fulfilling his first ability trigger. Squee, the Immortal is aristocrats fodder in the command zone, and you can cast him from the graveyard or from exile to avoid commander tax. Speaking of avoiding commander tax, I'll wipe the board just to get Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow back into the command zone so I can use her ninjutsu again.

[@someepicnerd7821]

Sees reef worm and is planning on making a volo deck: (I pulled the alt art one in a prerelease I bought separately from the actual prerelease) WRITE THAT DIWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!

[@someepicnerd7821]

Sees world shaper: YES!!!

[@Logan619ine-i5q]

World shaper and meren need I say more I run him in there lol and man is that value

[@archnebulawordsmith458]

Love the content! You’re amazing! Can we get a revamped Urza budget deck please? It is shocking how expensive it is worth now.

[@InsomniaticVampire]

I love playing with death/ sacrificing in my decks. Skirk prosecutor, blood pet, veteran explorer and Nadier are great in my korvold deck.

[@elipetrou9308]

Korvold is dumb, and poorly designed, but I love him.

[@vladplasmius2854]

I have a Lord of Tresserhorn deck that is build around creatures' death triggers. It's a lot of fun. I'm still bitter about the Flash ban; it was one of the best, coolest cards in the deck. Being able to steal an attacking Blightsteel by Flash-ing Keiga was a super cool play.

[@alaraplatt8104]

i really like lord of tresserhorn but i cant get past that part that says "your opponent draws two cards". how do you deal with that?

[@slimyfister]

Flash is degen af it literally cheats a crazy etb/ltb for 2 mana. players were able to go on turn 0 gemstone cavern + simian spirit guide -> flash into hulk and win the game before anyone else played a spell.

[@vladplasmius2854]

@@alaraplatt8104 you play politics with it. Or Notion Thief.

[@Icarus_789]

some of my favorite ones are Chasm Skulker, Hooded Hydra, and Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager

[@ethanmiziko5150]

I know Arena Rector was mentioned for Planeswalkers, but I personally believe Academy Rector for Enchantments is brutal. 4 Mana for Omniscience? Yea...

[@elipetrou9308]

Academy shows that through its cost though lol

[@Chaoslorden]

Besides all the obvious ubergood creatures with effects like this, a favorite of mine is Yavimaya Elder. Such a good card.

[@ahabsbane]

I still play yelder in every deck that so much as splashes green, it was one of my faves since I was a wee lad!

[@tbrown3022]

Reef worm can get even stronger with token doublers like Adrix and Nev. Two 3/3s into four 6/6s into eight 9/9s. That 4 cmc turned into a lot

[@jaredfields1517]

Quoting Qui-Gon Jinn = instant best video

[@Lilith_TheDireGay]

Elenda the Dusk Rose is one of my best aristocrats to date,she allows so many synergistic win conditions that you can make a very resilient reanimation+ aristocrats deck

[@lordforce5546]

The discard one and the enchantment one are creatures I didn't know existed but want for my Muldrotha deck

[@ak47al123]

aka cards to run in a Teysa deck, and cards you wish can be ran in a Teysa deck

[@orgixvi3]

Thanks for this, I was looking for something powerful to put into my Orhzov aristocrats deck. Elenda is perfect. Especially since 100-card historic brawl is coming to Arena.

[@jacobjohnson6384]

“Creatures that want to die” Lol, me.

[@saltylich9207]

A shout to the void. With Varina Lich Queen, if you give yourself shroud does that prevent her clause making you discard?

[@EggoAwfuls]

Really wanna make a graveyard recursion deck or something along those lines now, hope to avoid b-bogs tho (imma be honest i forgot how to spell it...)

[@alexiskoiva5919]

I'm designing a whole abzhan deck around creature death triggers that produce another creature when they die. The commanders are tymna and kamahl heart of krosa for it. the main game plan is to get a bunch of creatures with death triggers out. Then I self board wipe to kill everything. While I'm only one left with a bunch of creatures from all the death triggers.

[@noahverstynen8091]

Aura thief and enchanted evening is my favorite

[@LaceNWhisky]

Recently built a deck with Magus of the Wheel, and every time I look at the card "Creature of the Wheel" from White Zombie pops into my head.

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this video.

[@erikkohler887]

I thought this was from a lore point of view. So expected to hear which dragon or whatever protean hulk is is suffering from depression or existential dread.

[@CeilingNinja]

Special shout-out to my favorite lady - Marchesa the Black Rose - who makes it so these LTB effects can repeat.

[@Shroominy]

i have an elenda thé dusk rose deck and my group always lets her get super big and then i sac her and get like 25 tokens or just kill them with commander damage

[@strangebynature2798]

On seeing moldgraf monstrosity my first thoughts went to mimic vat

[@strangecatbarber]

Enchanted Evening with Aura Thief is always fun

[@andrewsalm2518]

One that I remember having a bad time with that should be on hear was deep Chasum skulker it may not seem like much but I played a game were a Friend of mine got to a 40/40 just to sack it to ashinods alter and empty out his hand and after that we just scooped

[@BlueGriffin20]

While Chasm Skulker is the best example, I like Toothy and Thought sponge too.

[@RubrDuky1]

Rules lawyer moment: you do not sacrifice to the legendary rule. They are simply put into the graveyard.

[@stygiansage2661]

Legendary death triggers love Blade of Selves

[@keeganturner8969]

Mitch, How can you have forgotten about Child of Alara?

[@xero1134]

I like putting gift of immortality on bearer of the heavens.

[@Smokey_Bluntz]

Wait, you forgot one. My name should be on that list

[@mikehawk3171]

I have a Nethroi deck that's all about graveyard nonsense and also mutate. Fog Frog is my favorite creature in the deck.

[@ArcturusMinsk]

wait, Protean Hulk is back? I gotta put it back in to Muldrotha!

[@IllRoosterr]

Oh yeah!! You the best Mitch lol.

[@sandwichboy1268]

Please keep in mind that Bearer of the Heavens destroys lands, too. Many players won't like you if you play it

[@uburdub]

ya i was going to say, this is absolutely brutal especially if you play something like heroic intervention after hitting the death trigger

[@esands36]

I run Keiga in my Simic deck with Followed Footsteps. 🤣

[@InquisitorSinCross]

Elenda tokens + Linden + Vito/Sanguine Bond while rare AF is hillarious

[@SloobOfTheToob]

These creatures are so powerful, I don’t know why they want to die. We need to tell them there is so much to do in life.

[@annaghafoor8809]

How about the oculus? You draw a card when it died.

[@timtauber5557]

You forgot about rift sweeper

[@isaacscott3681]

The one type of enchantment that Aura Thief can't steal is Aura's! XD

[@sciencemage]

And at #1 we have……. Me

[@davidhowell1415]

Nice

[@charliepeterson8171]

Piru the Volatile??

[@CastonAdrulu]

I uh... put bearer of the heavens in my marchesa the black rose deck... not sorry

[@alphacore112]

Just to let you know Mitch that Brigadiar general is lower rank then general.

[@VitorJTekkRodrigues]

These creatures are Just like me.

[@doublepositivezero8329]

Mishra's second form.

Fog on a Frog!

[@sashaanne703]

No one ever respects my boy, Yavimaya Elder.

[@seaweedsoupmeowington9429]

ELENDA SUPREMACY

[@rustysoupcan8637]

So is no one gonna talk about toothy

[@Ogthelastscrub]

Yeeeea! What the dude below me said a revamped budget Urza lol I need more budget or breaking the bank on Urza
