There’s plenty of removal to go around.

Love the concept of recommending multi-target / boardwipe removal on a budget. However, multiple of these cards have glaring issues, and the focus of the video is misplaced, imo ("Don't Settle" for single target removal). Nessian Boar is quite expensive at 5 mana (although it is in green), has no removal evasion or real combat abilities (think trample, haste), and has the enormous downside of allowing a given opponent to draw a card for each creature they control. I don't think it serves its purpose as an efficient board wipe often enough due to how telegraphed, vulnerable, and slow it is. Malicious Affliction heavily benefits from you running single-target removal (and IS single-target removal quite often) and outside of being in the right deck, you're most often getting the most value out of this after someone's combat phase (which, generally, you'd like to destroy important or big creatures in MP1 (combo pieces) or Declare Attackers/Declare Blockers (big boys)). It is pretty efficient when it works, but outside of that, Infernal Grasp is often better, and Feed the Swarm (although sorcery speed) has more applications, especially in commander. Bladegriff Prototype has many of the same problems Nessian Boar does - 5 mana, telegraphed, no removal evasion, and benefits opponents more than you (by letting them choose the permanent). The flying is a nice touch, but this is offest heavily by how small the creature is, being easily blocked by many 2-3 mana flying/reach creatures. I like the content though. Earned a sub from me and will def recommend Volcanic Salvo, a card i forgot about (and a card i didn't complain about because it's very clearly geared towards a relatively broad range of aggressive creature-based decks) to a friend. Kitesail Larcenist is also sick, and so is dismantling wave. Maybe consider lowering that glass shattering noise at the start of the video? Haha. Have a good night

Thank you very much for this thorough comment and for subscribing. I have played these cards and I can say the flying is irrelevant for bladegryff because nobody is blocking it because there is almost always something they want to destroy for a little bit of life loss. They will block it when it’s 1v1 if they can because they still have to destroy something that isn’t mine. With Nessian boar the card draw for them is definitely rough. The lack of trample isn’t very important because the goal of it is to force blocks and kill the stuff that they don’t want to send into combat. It is definitely slow unless you give it haste, but being able to work every turn is pretty good. I will have to play it more to see if it is a good offset or if the 2 downsides you mentioned are just too much. That’s comparing it to other green multi removal.

I feel most black decks have creatures dying anyway and even without that it’s not hard to get a creature to die. Most of the time somebody would let you chump block or chump attack to take 2 other creatures from somebody else.

I've wanted to get Nessian board into decks before and it never quite makes the cut, I should give it a shot though!

[@EDH_on_a_Budget]

It can be much better than a fight spell since fight spells need your creatures power to be high or to have deathtouch.
