Rift isn't just mass evasion. It puts people back so many times you can basically operate unimpfeeded until you win the game. You guys should do stats on how often the rift player loses because it's not often.

Cast it, sacrifice it, reanimate it, sac it again, recur it, cast it again, etc. Once you have a boardstate you can do a ton of (potentially fatal) damage.

Craterhoof Behemoth, Akroma's Will, and Cyclonic Rift are things that turn a threatening board state into a lethal board state. Rise Of The Dark Realms, Tooth and Nail, Blatant Thievery, Insurrection, Eerie Ultimatum, and Torment of Hellfire are things that turn a poor board state into a hopefully lethal board state. The difference is really in play style. Crim and Phil play more reactively and tend to not be the aggressor that is dictating the place of play. Tomer and Seth tend to be more proactive and are challenging the group to stop/control them. This is also a very good point to consider when you are building your deck. What kind of player are you? What is the end game for the deck you are trying to build? Identifying this will help you select finishers that are far less likely to be "dead" when you are trying to close out the game.

My favorite finisher is probably Rite of Replication the amount of different cards that just win the game from it is insane and are probably already in whatever deck id run this in anyways. Five copies of Gary everyone dies. Five copies of kokusho five death triggers, if you copy it once you drain the table for 50. Even in General Tazri this thing wins off of like 3 to 4 different allies.

Rite of replication is one of my favorite finishers too. I love that it's flexible enough to be cast as a decent 4 mana spell, and at 9 mana it can potentially win the game. It's especially good in my Anhelo deck; copied kicked spells are kicked. 10 good etbs is enough value to put you in a winning position even if it doesn't end the game on the spot.

I think it's just a definitions issue. A "finisher" has to actually end the game. Cyclonic rift is always playable but doesn't guarantee a win when you cast it. A lot of the time, you'll cast it for value or to reset the board. For a cyclonic to end the game, it's highly reliant on other finishers already being on your board before you cast it. In comparison, resolving tooth and nail = insta game over >90% of the time if you run a combo.

Came here from the podcast just to say that Skullstorm has won me the game several times. I play it in Grixis Anhelo. Let’s say you hit it with a copied Spelltwine where you target a wrath among other cards then Skullstorm hits an empty board. Or you cast it fair for 9 mana but you have multiple copy effects on the board and maybe the board just got wrathed the turn before. As you guys discussed it’s pretty good even if it doesn’t outright win.

If Cyclonic Rift isn't a finisher then neither is Craterhoof. Craterhoof makes your boardstate lethal when it comes done by making you able to go over your opponents creatures and giving them a damage boost to more reliably have lethal, similar Cyclonic Rift takes your opponents creatures out of the equation by bouncing them making you able to attack for game. And even if you only kill off one person. You probably have gained enough advantage from that you can kill the remaining players on your next turn.

Interestingly, there is a Historic combo deck, which has drawing the game as a serious part of its best of 3 gameplan. www.reddit.com/r/spikes/comments/yotyi2/discussion_niambi_and_the_27_club_lines_and_primer/ Arena won't let you loop Niambe and glasspool mimic more than 27 times without forcing a draw, which "wins" by generating that many 1/1s and swinging for lethal on the next turn. Against control decks which just wipe the board, you intentionally force a draw in game 1, then play the rest of the match pre-sideboarded with counter magic.

In reference to genesis wave, I do think it may be important to point out that while you do have to spend at least 10ish mana to make it a "finisher" the fact that you can pump more mana into it and make it a one card wincon does give it a bit of an edge against some other finishers that require creatures on the board etc.

Tomer, I vote in favour of Skull Storm! It's actually my primary finisher in my Jeleva deck. It's probably the card that's most often directly won me the game when I've cast it, and it's just delicious to cast for free of Jeleva and copy it a bunch of times. Plus, Jeleva tends to get blown up a lot, and even benefits from it, so it's just naturally synergistic there, too.

I think that Eerie Ultimatum and Rise of the Dark Realms are probably about the same, Sure Rise costs more but it's just in a single color (and thus can be put in more decks) and it being playable in Mono-B makes it every enticing with Cabal + Urborg. There is also the fact that you can play Rise in more of a control deck so you don't even need to fill up your GY, you can let your opponents build up the value for you.

Cyclonic Rift is a finisher ONLY when you are able to cast it on the end step before your turn. In this case, it is a complete blowout, but that alone DOES NOT win you the game. It only sets you up to potentially do something great or win on the next turn. If you use the Rift in any other situation, the other players have a chance to rebuild, depending on when you cast it. And, there is a HUGE downside to the RIFT -- leaving that much mana open to cast it means you probably didn't do anything on your turn to progress your board state. Probably the only exception to this is when you have Seedborn Must or some other "untap all your lands" effect. This would allow you to do stuff on your turn, THEN untap lands for a possible RIFT on the end step before your turn. For this reason, I would give RIFT a solid B. It is an AMAZING card in blue, and nothing beats it, but because of the downsides and the fact that it doesn't give you an insta-win, it is definitely a B. Giving it A (for some people) is understandable, but it is overrated with an A. Another downside is that you have to get it overloaded to get the full potential, but you cannot cast it for the overload cost as an alternative cost in most cases. In other words, I can't cast it for the overload cost for free, in most cases.

But most commander decks rely on building up a synergistic boardstate until you can hit "escape velocity" and either combo off, or just produce so much value /control/etc that the other players teaming up are too late to stop you. Rift ends games by putting you 1-2 turns ahead on tempo as everyone else is forced to redeploy. It's more like an Extra Turn spell in that regard. And yeah sometimes it's like "I would have been better off playing Time Warp", but if your opponents have to spend 2 whole turns redeploying, it's closer to a Time Stretch (in terms of tempo, not card advantage, since they're still drawing).

Cyclonic Rift is an extra turn spell. It's such a tempo play, for 7 mana you destroy all tokens and make your opponents pay mana equal to their board. It's not a sweeper- it's a delay. It's not a finisher - it's a tempo play. Cyclonic Rift is an extra turn spell

If it were phrased as “destroy all tokens your opponents control. Take an extra turn after this one” that’s sorta what it mostly does.

@@johnathanrhoades7751 Except that most of the time it's more of a "take two extra turns after this one" because whoever's ahead likely has a higher mana value board than the amount of mana they can produce. Plus it removes all +1/+1 counters. Plus it can be used on the end step, forcing a player to discard down to 7. Plus it removes all blockers, so if you have a good board, you can alpha strike for the win. It's good when you're losing, or when you're winning, and the only time it's bad is early game, when you can STILL cast it for 2 to stop a combo

In regards to craterhoof behemoth... it's 8 mana for Overrun, which is a 5 mana card. We can actually do some math to figure out exactly what you need to make it win the game. Commander, 40 life total, 4 players. You need 120 damage. For simplification, lets assume you are not currently significantly ahead of your opponents (that would make Craterhoof just a win-more effect, after all), so total power and toughness will be roughly equal for all players pre-craterhoof. Ok, so what do you need to win? 40 damage to each opponent, ok... but even if it was 1 opponent, that's 5+6x6 creatures for 41 total damage. So, even in a 1v1, you need 5 creatures to make Craterhoof worth playing. But it's not a 1v1, you need to overcome 3x your board, plus an additional 120 after that. 11 creatures for an additional 126 damage is what gets you there... but, if we're assuming you're not already winning, that means you need to get over 33 of your opponent's equal creatures in the process. We need 1 more creature to get enough damage to overrun the enemy here. This is the minimum to make craterhoof a winning play instead of a win-more card. Alternatively, it could be used as a finisher for a game you were already ahead on... but overrun does the same for less mana. It's good, but if it were S tier you'd also be running Overrun for its ability to do the exact same thing.

the thing with torment is that, even when not lethal, can cause such a mayhem, that you might end up winning anyway because of that spell, is almost as a black asymetrical armaggedon. That being said.... for it to be trully relevant, you need an X much bigger than, lets say... deathcloud, wich is a trully devastating for far less mana
