I just wanted to say, I recently had to cancel my patreon due to coronavirus impact. But I want Jimmy and Josh to know that I respect them putting themselves out there on where they stand. I would hate for them to see someone (and hopefully not many have) leave patreon as fallout for what they said. Keep up the good work! I'm still subscribed and hopefully will join back to the patreon community!

I loved the kind and understanding way that you guys acknowledged the people who disagree with you on some of the issues being debated. I don't mean to be overly mushy, but it was just really heartwarming to me to see some people (people who I look up to) talk about this stuff without having malice and spite for people who don't agree with them. I just don't see that a lot these days and I think it's awesome that you guys are kind and "thoughtful" :) enough to do that!

We can all forgive J&J for at least slightly virtue signalling so the rest of their social circle (which is in LA) doesn't assume they're wwwaaacist. You have to do that these days. In communist Russia there was a 15 minute standing ovation after Stalin's speeches because the first person to stop clapping was assumed to be a traitor. In this new marxist reality you have to signal your virtue or else risk being "de-platformed" (silenced). The mark of the beast is real.

[@chrisgebben2043]

yes but use changelings then you get both tokens from 1 cast

[@MistaOppritunity]

right but the cards they were showing had changeling, to include the instants and sorceries because they were tribal. Rin and Seri doesn't say when you cast a dog/cat creature, it says when you cast a dog/cat SPELL. So what they were describing would still happen and they would create more dogs and cats. Then, the cards they created would still affect the activated ability which I think is what they mostly were talking about.

"you won't get attacked by 2 or more creatures." "People attacking you with two or more creatures and you drawing cards from it is a very unlikely scenario". WOW, we play in two completely different metas. :D

[@Eckendenker]

No, you're not. Once you have this guy out people just won't attack you with more than one creature anymore. They gonna swing the biggest thing at you and spread the rest. The problem is that your opponents get to choose if you draw cards. Casting multiple spells though is so fundamental that you definitely are drawing cards off of that.

[@Isheian]

I’m the agro guy in my play group. You can draw cards, you’ll be dead before you can use em.

[@Danteninjaful]

I fail to see how “my opponents swing at me with one big thing instead of multiple big things” is a bad thing. Sure, you aren’t drawing cards, but Mangara isn’t supposed to be a white card for drawing cards, it’s a white card for discouraging your opponents from casting multiple spells or attacking you with multiple creatures.

[@Eckendenker]

@@Danteninjaful sure its a great kind of tax effect. The premise of the original post was the card draw though. If your playgroup is letting you draw cards off the first effect without good reason (killing blow, devastating attacks etc) they are probably doing something wrong.

[@Isheian]

Danteninjaful It means your not likely to get pinged. No chip damage. If your meta runs long enough that’s a pretty big advantage. Sorta the solemn simulacrum effect, have it in play and people tend to swing else where as they don’t want to give you the cards

[@Calvin81007]

Mangara is good in superfriends because then they want to attack you Planeswalkers.

[@erwanprn5491]

Mangara is realy good to support every strategy, you make me think about mono-white superfriends. If I will build a mono-w superfriends deck, I prefer a commander proctect my planeswalker to make the most value possible like token to block or tax opponents attack, or a commander who restrict the number of spell player may cast per turn (this one doesn't exist yet). I think just one card draw to be attacked is not enough value to be the commander but great in the 99.

[@erwanprn5491]

if you play a mono-white planeswalker deck, I will enjoy to see the list :)

[@jo_ken]

I feel like Magara is going to see more play in the 99 of just about every Momo white or Boros decks since drawing when an opponent cast their second spell is pretty likely to happen. The rest is just extra.

[@Target008]

Just color shift Overwhelming Instinct and Symbiotic Deployment (Remove Skip your draw step though) both of these cards focus on community and have the essence of white mana in them. You could also substitute the draw a card with the classic white, "if an opponent controls more lands than you search your library for a plains card and put it onto the battlefield tapped".

[@thomashearne4670]

Barrin seems great in yarok. Bounce something you want to reuse and draw a card as well. Also gadrak is basically a mono red version of smothering tithe. Creatures are always dying in commander so it seems like it will net you a few treasures at least. "I bolt your dork, get a treasure" "Fiery confluence, I'll get 5 treasures"

I swear every single episode i find out about the existence of a card so amazing that it improves the power of one of my decks threefold. How did i not know about fricken parallel lives? I have played for two years and i have never seen that card altho i probably should have. Thanks for that tho guys, your suggestions and explanations if cards slowly make me a better deck builder and player.

[@eruantien9932]

I'm guessing you're playing a token deck; if you're also in white there's Anointed Procession (the white version of Parallel Lives), Hour of Reckoning (a board wipe with convoke and that ignores tokens), Intangible Virtue (enchantment that gives all your tokens +1/+1 and vigilance), and Divine Visitation (enchantment that makes all new tokens you get into 4/4 angels with flying and vigilance). I have a Ghave deck that does all kinds of mildly silly things with tokens.

[@DorianTheReaper]

E. A. Deasar i knew most of those but thanks dude. Hour of reckoning seems like a sweet card and so does intangible virtue.

@55:20. TLDR; Combo. Longshot, but have Cloudkey, naming artifacts, Kaervek, the Spiteful, and Heartless Summoning on the field. Play either Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler, which are free due to Cloudkey and Heartless Summoning and then die due to Kaervek and/or Heartless Summoning. When they die, they recur the other card from the graveyard. Repeat ad infinitum, get a card that gets value off of infinite ETB/Death such as Blood Artist, Bitter Ordeal, or Altar of the Brood.

I can't believe you didn't mention Jolrael partnering with Sensei's Divining Top! Top in upkeep, draw it after and re-play for 1 so it becomes a Pay 1: make a 2/2 on your turn. If you combine it with flash (Josh's Orrery for example) it is a cost 1 draw that can trigger on other players turns meaning any opponent's turn you can set up a single draw you can now pay the 1 to make the 2/2.

[@codysmith4210]

The way you guys handled that end step was also one of the most fair and neutral ways I have seen a magic content creator address the issue too, other channels could learn A LOT from being as clear minded as you two are.

[@ScrappsMcGee]

I'm very excited for Subira! I run an Iroas, God of Victory deck, and using cards like Assemble the Legion, Leonin Warleader, and Elspeth, Sun's Champion to create small tokens, and then Iroas giving them menace and protection allows Subira to draw you a ton of cards I think. Keep up the great work guys, love you both.

[@coreyyates3385]

They can give White card draw that still keeps it true to white. For instance, they could make a card like smothering tithe but instead of creating treasure, it could create clues. Investigate could easily be put in sets and commander precons since it was a major ability in SOI block.

[@futurfry]

Love how excited Jimmy was talking about subira

[@jobiy1999]

I feel like mangara could have been really cool if it synergized with the main white strategies. Life gain, tokens, etc. If it had an effect like " pay 3 and tap: draw cards equal to the number of 1/1 tokens you control" or "if you gained life this turn draw cards equal to half the life you gained this turn." Just spit balling here

[@paulhorton5168]

perhaps those abilities will be on future white permanents. It's a thought

[@kukitanuki4037]

worth noting about Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge: y'all didn't mention that he also counts creatures your opponents control dying, so plays like Blasphemous Act -> Gadrak can let you end the turn with a ton of treasure from wiping the board!

A weird idea I had for Kaervek was “aristocrats with no sac outlets”. You just create toughness 1 tokens and have them die to Kaervek and similar effects. I don’t know why you’d do that, but you could

[@vivecanada1]

Humility plus Karvak works due to how layers work. Ability changing layer happens after the power toughness changing one.

[@rowrow_]

I think a good way to build Subira is to run things like Amplifire, or things that grow at the beginning of combat (Lavakin Brawler comes to mind); you start with them being low power, then they become evasive for 1 mana, then they hit for 8+ damage

Gadrak is pretty impressive, esp cause its the first deathtrigger on red i can remember and than ofc it has to be a treasure so he can replays himself if he stays long enough. Also you still can play your red pingers, bold like effects, artifact deck or a goat deck, so he is the second best on my list if you play him as a commander. And black/red sac-decks have now even more mana fix xD

[@Capybara496]

Worth noting: I believe the changeling ability functions in all zones, so changelings (including tribal instants and sorceries with the ability) will trigger BOTH of Rin and Seri's cast triggers, giving its controller a Dog token and a Cat token.

[@atwistedsky9169]

I think for Kaervek to be your commander the trick is going to be having creatures which get bigger when something dies, as well as token makers to pair with a Dictate of Erebos/Grave Pact/Butcher type effect. Something like a Dreadhorde Invasion or a Bitterblossom to make tokens which immediately die to trigger the pact effect and have them sac whatever big creatures they have and grow your own forces, while creatures like Cordial Vampire, Malakir Cullblade, Gavony Unhallowed, Yahenni etc grow but some you'll need to grow a little before Kaervek hits the field lol. You can still go more Aristocrat style with things such as Bastion of Remembrance, Falkenrath Noble and Vindictive Vampire, but it does limit your options as so many of the best options will immediately die when Kaervek lands

Could use the enchantment Bedlam for Subira deck, downside it does affects your opponents creatures as well.
