Looking forward to each fresh installment of the "Crazy Codie Variants," series of decks.

[@darianleyer5777]

Depending on the legality, you might be unable to do this one in tournament environs, but it's still powerful. Basically, just use a lot of Artifact Lands, cast Codie on Turn 3, cascade into Tinker ASAP, then using Tinker to Tutor out Thran Temporal Gateway, and having all your nonland permanents be historic.

[@darianleyer5777]

Or you could just get Tinker with a Tutor, possibly even the one you cascaded off of.

[@Quroe_]

Judge ruling for Quicken: "After Quicken resolves, you can Suspend a sorcery in your hand any time you can cast an instant. As soon as you actually cast a sorcery, you lose this capability." -Gatherer / Scryfall This notably means you can use the suspend ability on any amount of Sorceries at instant speed until you actually traditionally cast a Sorcery.

[@zacharymoore6451]

Can you explain? Sorry for some reason I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this

[@IamtheTolle]

@@zacharymoore6451 Since quicken lets you cast a sorcery at instant speed, and suspend (presumably foretell too?) only lets you suspend when you "could" cast a sorcery. Since you can cast your next sorcery spell at instant speed, you can suspend cards. This would get around Teferi's restriction too I'd assume

[@Quroe_]

@@zacharymoore6451 Here's an example. Let's say you somehow have four Ancestral Visions in hand and a Quicken. You cast and resolve a Quicken on an opponent's turn. You could then Suspend all four of your Ancestral Visions without consuming your Quicken's timing permission assuming you have the mana to Suspend them.

[@Quroe_]

@@IamtheTolle This post was written out of respect, not one-upmanship. I also learned some neat things along the way. The reason Quicken works this way with Suspend comes to a technical wording from the Comprehensive Rules: 702.62a Suspend is a keyword that represents three abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the card with suspend is in a player’s hand. The second and third are triggered abilities that function in the exile zone. “Suspend N-[cost]” means “ *If you could begin to cast this card by putting it onto the stack from your hand* , you may pay [cost] and exile it with N time counters on it. This action doesn’t use the stack,” and “At the beginning of your upkeep, if this card is suspended, remove a time counter from it,” and “When the last time counter is removed from this card, if it’s exiled, play it without paying its mana cost if able. If you can’t, it remains exiled. If you cast a creature spell this way, it gains haste until you lose control of the spell or the permanent it becomes.” The key wording here is " *If you could begin to cast this card by putting it onto the stack from your hand* ". Because Quicken can enable this boldfaced section, you can Suspend Sorceries this way, but you haven't technically cast them. However this is not the case with Foretell. 702.143a Foretell is a keyword that functions while the card with foretell is in a player’s hand. *Any time a player has priority during their turn* , that player may pay {2} and exile a card with foretell from their hand face down. That player may look at that card as long as it remains in exile. They may cast that card after the current turn has ended by paying any foretell cost it has rather than paying that spell’s mana cost. Casting a spell this way follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f-h. This boldfaced timing restriction does not get modified due to Quicken, so you cannot do the pay {2} to Exile the Foretell for later during an opponent's turn, but you could cast it on a later turn for its Foretell cost from exile through Quicken. As for Teferi, Time Raveler (aka T3feri) versus Quicken, T3feri wins. See the ruling from Scryfall / Gatherer for him: "If an effect allows opponents to cast spells any time they could cast an instant (for example, if your opponent also controls a Teferi, Time Raveler and activates his +1 loyalty ability), the restriction of Teferi’s first ability takes precedence over that permission."

[@IamtheTolle]

@@Quroe_ By all means an appreciated enhancement. I wrote merely based on the text and didn't bother delving further into the comprehensive rules. Curious the interaction between suspend and casting. I love how Wizards has "gotten wise" on some of these old mechanics. Foretell would seem like it would function the same, but clearly they wanted to avoid this type of interaction

[@Grozdrak]

I fell in love with Codie as soon as it was spoiled. I mainly built my deck around the "no nonland permanent" restriction with the only exception being Jadzi to have some crazy storm turns. I also made the deck with multiple Mystical Archive cards, since I love the art. That Resurgent Belief does give me the idea to use Codie with all Sagas and call it "Codie, the Lore Collector"

[@nikos731]

Mitch: "I hate chaotic effects, I hate playing against a Possibility Storm. Sure, you can maybe build a cute way to abuse it, but until that happens, it is too time consuming". Also Mitch: "I will build a deck around Glimpse of Tomorrow".

[@MrThomasCWest]

If you are willing to spend an extra $0.89 on the card ($1.89 total) Double Major, you could get multiple Codie triggers in a turn. Add to that a Harmless Offering or a Switcheroo and you can screw over opponents while keeping your main strategy. Reminisce, Clear The Mind, and Learn From The Past are really great budget recursion spells for under a $1 each. The more I think about it, the more dangerous Codie really is.

There are some 20 1-costing instants that untap a creature. All you need is to tap Codie, cast an untap, triggering his pseudo-cascade, then use the four remaining mana to activate Codie again.

[@twl232]

I do really enjoy this format of your videos the most.

[@mejestic_pie_flavor325]

I’ve played a bunch of Codie in brawl and the issue with those copy spells is that the copy spells trigger off of Codie’s ability, so you wouldn’t be able to copy the spell with a two mana spell unless you had six mana before activating book man.

[@Dekztir]

You're thinking that Codie's ability is like Cascade, but it's different. You get until the end of the turn to cast Inevitable Betrayal. So you can definitely use the Codie mana to cast your copy spell. He did acknowledge that if you want to cast a copy spell that costs RR that you will need one additional red source. But that means you only need 5 mana before you activate Codie, not 6.

[@mejestic_pie_flavor325]

@@Dekztir That still means that you have to get around the mana crunch because if you cast any spells after you tap Codie for mana it’ll use that spell’s cost as the spell codie does his thing for - most copy spells are two so you’d end up hitting a 1 drop more often than not. It sucks that it’s not optional to care about every spell you cast but it just means you have to wait an extra turn or two to get to six mana.

[@Dekztir]

@@mejestic_pie_flavor325 I'm still not understanding your problem. After activating Codie you always cast your 1-drop spell first. You will always hit Inevitable Betrayal. Please explain with specific cards the scenario where you think you need 6 mana.

[@mikebryan9113]

I love these videos not only for the decks but also budget cards that will fit will into my other decks

[@connorl0204]

Gotta be careful with the split cards and x spells. If i remember right (and please correct me if im wrong), The cmc of a split card is the sum of both sides, so codie can hit bigger stuff off it. For example, heaven/earth; whichever half youre casting, its cmc will see both sides. With x spells, on the stack the cmc includes the x value. Continuing the example of heaven/earth; if you cast heaven for x=4, the mana value will come out to 8 since the double green on heaven and double red on earth are seen by the games rules. This interaction is what makes cards like commit/memory so powerful in yuriko decks, because even if you just cast commit, the cmc is of the card is still 10.

[@joelmunchel7809]

You are correct about the x spells, although I think he included them because he can always cast them for x=0 so that they are still a 1 cmc spell. The split cards however do not work that like when on the stack. Anywhere other then the stack and you are correct about the cmc of the card. 709.4. In every zone except the stack, the characteristics of a split card are those of its two halves combined. This is a change from previous rules. 709.4b The mana cost of a split card is the combined mana costs of its two halves. A split card’s colors and mana value are determined from its combined mana cost. An effect that refers specifically to the symbols in a split card’s mana cost sees the separate symbols rather than the whole mana cost. Example: Assault//Battery’s mana cost is {3}{R}{G}. It’s a red and green card with a mana value of 5. If you cast Assault, the resulting spell is a red spell with a mana value of 1.

[@jasonklusty7937]

Mitch. I would like to make a suggestion involving Codie that i have built and love. Magecraft cards like Witherbloom apprentice, professor onyx, and ral storm conduit. Have 1 of them down before casting codie (hopefully with haste) then cast a 5 drop instant/sorc. Have no 4 drop instant/sorc or less in the deck except for fury storm and chain of smog. You can then add fury storm to the stack targetting the 5drop, then the copy goes to the stack targetting fury storm, keep using the additional created copies to copy fury storm until gameover due to magecraft triggers. Or is you get chain of smog, just keep targetting yourself as it will infinitely copy itself for you.

[@jasonklusty7937]

I have been trying to break this card since it was announced. I feel like i have now accomplished it.

[@evanragland4930]

I made a Codie deck just to try it out and it instantly became my favorite commander. The amount of mana value is ridiculous. My deck is set up where I’m basically cascading into ramp spells early on (because those are my only 4 cmc or less spells). So, I have a ton of mana by turn 6/7 and can start casting huge spells (8+ cmc) that usually cascade into 5+ cmc spells or just ramp more. If someone takes Codie off the board I have enough mana to easily bring him back or I have enough mana and a very nasty 9 cmc (think profane transfusion) to make that player regret targeting Codie. Not having permanents isn’t a big deal because there is just enough token generation to give me blockers and when I cascade into some combat shenigans spells (ie: Akromas Will) it’s enough to be game over for someone. Also the fact that Codie is a 5 color commander that you don’t have to worry about fixing his mana base can’t be understated. 3 mana of any color in your starting hand and your playing Codie and ramping on turn 4 (tapping Codie to play 5 cmc spells on turn 4). Plus Codie being colorless has saved me from my friend who plays Eldrazi decks and likes to throw an All is Dust for board wipes lol. And the fact that he is 5 color makes him very versatile to whatever play group you play with.

[@lordofleaves]

Hey man, I would love it if you could discuss the following topic on your channel: Is Evacuation secretly the best boardclear in the game? Compared to the most (?) common cards, Wrath of god and Damnation, it has some great advantages imo. Most obviously, it is an instant, and it is blue. But with the rise of token decks, it often times works very similarly to a "real" boardclear. And in some cases it's straight up better - it circumvents indestructible-effects like Heroic intervention, and graveyard-effects like academy rector. I would love to hear other opinions, since I have put the card in my commander deck with great effect.

For broken codie: you only need profane tutor as 0cmc card. Search for adnause and win (or lose). Since you have 5 colors play all sac spells that generate fast mana and get rid of codie after you used his abillity. With a god build you can cast adnause almost every third round.

How would you be able to utilize Howl of the Horde (or Doublecast) to copy Inevitable Betrayal? It's a sorcery, so you can't use it in response to the one mana spell, if you use it before Codie's ability, then it would just copy that spell instead of Inevitable betrayal, and if you use it after Codie, then the cascade triggers on Howl of the Horde.

[@samulaaksonen1238]

How does copying Inevitable Betrayal with doublecast work? Wouldn't it just copy the 1 mana spell used to trigger Codie's ability, since it's sorcery speed and thus can't be cast in response to Codie's trigger?

[@zeroskillful]

IB can be cast till end of turn according to Codie's ability. So you cast a 1 mana spell to get IB then cast copy spell as long as you have the mana. Then you cast IB to copy it.

The fact that I haven't seen any necronomicon alters floating around in any fb groups greatly saddens me :(.

[@nijimazero]

"Yawgmoth's will is a $300 card for a reason" Yes. The reason is the Reserved List

[@kennytetidrick3344]

Dude you are a genius. Keep doing what you do!!

[@jeffnorris211]

My codie deck I’m brewing relies on running curse of echoes enchanting yourself then using the pact spells so people die to the upkeep trigger.

[@zimoy.701]

Howl of the horde doesn't actually work, right? Since it's a sorcery, you can't cast it in response to the cascade trigger, so you just wind up copying the 1 mana spell you used to cascade into betrayal.

[@tjizzle1027]

@25:25 Tfw you notice the background music isn't a perfect loop and it bugs you 🤣

[@blackbagans]

When are we going to see the glimpse of tomorrow version of the Codie deck?

[@michaelchristensen1255]

So Doublecast actually wouldn’t work because at sorcery speed you would copy the next spell you cast which would be the one after activating Codie, not Betrayal.

[@thebygoneking]

Codie doesn’t specifically care about when you cast that spell. There isn’t a timer on the trigger for its effect, so I don’t see why you can’t cast a sorcery before you opt to cast the spell exiled by Codie.

[@qzwxecrv0192837465]

New errata: “if a spell does NOT have a casting cost of 0 or greater, then there is no casting cost and cannot be played outside any costs in its oracle text.” Or “If a card has no mana value in the upper right, it’s casting cost is the oracle text cost or suspend value. Example, Gaea’s Will is suspend 4, making it a 4 mana value spell. If the oracle text is 2 mana and discard two cards, the mana value is 4 (2 mana and one for each card discarded)!

[@prestonboyd513]

Where did you find this

[@jonathonpybus]

How are you casting inevitable betrayal at instant speed when the time counter that is removed to cast it happens during your upkeep? 20:22 “Quicken”

[@DracoCaeser]

Raven's Crime is the silver piglet, thats a fantastic idea

[@angelsepulveda9211]

Deck looks sweet Mitch, I be holding the blue suspend spell thinking where to put it, hmm

[@leonardhinkelmann5629]

Took me a day to pull this off but: here you have a consistent t4 combo deck for less than 25$ built around codie: 1 Ad Nauseam 1 Burst of Energy 1 Burst of Strength 1 Cerulean Wisps 1 Chain Stasis 1 Claim the Firstborn 1 Djeru's Resolve 1 Dream's Grip 1 Emerald Charm 1 Enter the Unknown 1 Glacial Chasm 1 Hypergenesis 1 Ornamental Courage 1 Profane Tutor 1 Sickening Dreams 1 Simian Spirit Guide 1 Stony Strength 1 Sudden Spinnerets 74 Swamp 1 Triton Tactics 1 Twiddle 1 Vault Skyward 1 Veteran's Reflexes 1 Vines of the Recluse 1 Vitalize 1 Wings of the Cosmos You mulligan for a hand with 2 untap spells and no 0 cost sorcery then play codie fetch both 0 cost sorceries with codie. From there get ad nauseam to hand, dump some lands with hypergenesis and draw your deck. To win, play the extra land(chasm) and then sickening dreams for the 25$ W Hypergeometrics predict turn 4.82 as the average turn the deck wins

[@adamreed2088]

I would like to know when you are going to make a video about the codie deck using Gaea's Will. It sounds really cool.

[@andrewdodd3408]

Damn you Mitch Why do all your decks appeal to my love of jank, yes they may be cheep BUT buying so many HURTS MY WALLET!!!!!!!!

[@liandrovsk]

Starting MTG recently... Love this one! What would be good upgrades for it?

[@RedDawn430]

Inevitable Betrayal is based on the the blue card with Epic

[@07derka]

Codie active > worldly tutor thassas oracle > codie trigger into Hypergenesis > use rest of codie mana to tutor Leveler > play Hypergenesis > play leveler from Hg > play thassa’s oracle from Hg, win

[@07derka]

Or hypergenesis Thassas oracle into play, cast Demonic Consultation in response to oracle trigger naming a card not in your deck, then win

[@Kingofnoodles]

So, I wanted to try this deck out, but something came up that I can't find clarification on: Does Codie exile the card you cast without paying the mana costs? I don't see anywhere that clarifies that, and the way you include GY recovery cards implies that it doesn't. The text is "until you exile a card...", Which would imply that it gets exiled, no? Hoping someone can help me understand this.

[@kingginger3335]

Serene Remembrance is a fantastic card. It's very under played. Although I've never seen Memory's Journey. That's really cool! Btw Memory must be a character in the game or WOTC definitely misspelled Memories

[@soweroblackheart8890]

I love your commander desks so much there so much fun.

[@badbelowaveragedreamer3426]

This deck looks fantastic. What would be the recommended land spread ?
