Agatha can reduce her own ability's cost, right? It doesn't say other creature.

[@redshirtnumber3494]

Seth, I am running at least 2 (maybe 4) copies of The End into modern 12 shadow, it’ll be soooooo awesome

[@6letterss]

it says "attached to kellan" so the player curses 15:00 wouldnt work

[@darkhawk155]

Hylda + Junk Winder + any instant speed token generator = tap down your opponent's board while making an army of 4/4s on your opponent's end step. Considering the number of Junk Winder / Chatterfang decks we've seen from Phil already I am looking forward to this one.

[@collinbeal]

I just brewed Junk Winder on Arena a few days ago, and was trying to think about how to make a tap tribal deck. Hylda coming in clutch

[@Tactical_0ni]

(Court Street Denizen) would be pretty nasty with Hylda if you got the Mana. Just need a white creature to enter play. Denizen triggers. Tap an opponent creature. Pay 1 create a 4/4 white & blue elemental creature token. Trigger Denizen again lol

[@TheyCallMeDio]

Garruk: I fear no man. But that thing *(Looks at Syr Ginger)* Garruk: It scares me

[@Kol-xb6mv]

Good

[@jico6564]

Only on a single card so far

[@123silverslash]

I think you’re underestimating Will, specifically as a piece in Angel decks. Their gameplan is already to gain a bunch of life every turn and then play pretty expensive cards, Will can reduce their costs by a LOT to get really expensive angels out for very cheap. It’s not a build around, but it’s a strong inclusion.

[@TheEvolver311]

I don't think angels, maybe in Historic Soul Sisters Heliod combo letting you ramp out the white coco for a massive amount

[@konnichi1wa]

All it takes is one creature with lifelink, or one of those normally terrible lifegain spells gaining 6 to make it great

[@BAM_Deadstroke]

I like the idea of cycling Beseech the Mirrors through one another to build that storm count 😂

[@stephenbradford8524]

I want to build Hylda SO BAD. My very first commander deck (RIP) just kinda happened to tap all my opponent's stuff anyway. It'd be nice to have a decently powerful version of that deck.

[@voidfox2795]

She looks like she synergies well with elvish mariner. 1 mana scry 2 draw 1 tap 2 times however much mana you have is scary. With 3 mana + scry you tap 6 per enemy’s or 4 and a 4/4. It seems fun to build around.

[@MakeVarahHappen]

If Seth doesn't build circle of loyalty in explorer or historic we riot. Shame MoM Teferi can't be the commander in Brawl.

[@nathanwilliams9158]

We had a spell in the command zone before. Extus Oriq Overlord is often built around awaken the blood avatar.

[@FunkyPotato8]

And jadzi with journey for the oracle

[@jettblade]

Halana and Alena Partners, this is the one from Crimson Vow, works amazing with Agatha and maybe could be used in Standard to do some interesting things. You'd use Halana and Alena to grow Agatha which you then use Agatha to grow Halana and Alena which you use to grow Agatha.

[@eugenequek6797]

which was my first thought... things is the effect encourages you to be aggressive

[@spoopyboi1882]

Kellan equipments as a commander deck sounds really good, especially thanks to the multiple versions of Nahiri that just make tokens. As a go wide boros deck with a voltron backup plan, it sounds very interesting and might get me to break away from my usual golgari mixes

[@Sientir]

I do like that Hylda works so well with Icy Manipulator. :D

[@DragonAlchemist0]

YES!! VENGEANCE FOR THE FOR THE GINGERBREAD WOMAN!

[@BadDrummerCarl]

For Hylda, what we need is a storm card that says tap target creature maybe cost like 1U

[@Tactical_0ni]

court street denizen automatically include for sure

[@MajraMangetsu]

The card you describe SHOULD exist.

[@kylarcheng1346]

Belunda Groundsquall vs sheoldred reminds of savage knuckleblade vs a certain leathery pack animal, where 1 toughness makes 1 unplayable

[@Artaimus]

The roles are really weird since some of them have the reminder text about only having one, while others (including the role cards themselves!) don't have that text.

[@luisgutierrez8047]

Well there's text box limitations so not all mechanics are explained in all their cards

[@aramfingal]

That design of Will and Rowan's cards is chefs kiss. I love it, so clean and symmetrical. 😊

[@aramfingal]

...also looking forward to playing against four more copies of Shay'ol-dread in standard now. 😂

[@Thayes-qe6lg]

33:47 Oh Seth…. Let me translate for you. Virtue of knowledge is one of the best (ramp) spells in blue. It’s essentially (rampant) growth”. Thanks for all the great content!

[@JARRED994]

Agatha in the command zone + Raised By Giants. You'd never keep it on board but all activated abilities would essentially be free from then on.

[@henrye3935]

"Beseech the mirror, find and cast The One Ring?" "...not again."

[@ramonescamilla803]

Didn't mention Opposition? Tap a creature tap your opponents creature. Create a 4/4. Tap your new 4/4 tap another creature.. rinse and repeat. Can keep your opponents tap down forever if it sticks around

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

1) Eriette curses could be really scary. You can stack a bunch of auras, without having to worry about losing creatures to removal, and can drain enemies out while stopping attacks with Ghostly Prison/Sphere of Safety. 2) Hilda + Opposition lets you tap a creature to tap an enemy creature, then pay 1 to create a 4/4 that can be tapped to tap another enemy creature. It repeats until you run out of mana or the enemies run out of creatures. 3) Rowan + Fire Covenant + Exsanguinate/Torment of Hailfire is extremely funny. For example, you can pay 1RBBB to Fire Covernant an enemy creature, pay all but 1 life (39 in EDH), and then Exsanguinate for 39 to each opponent, gaining 117 life. More realistically, make a deck with Peer into the Abyss and a bunch of rituals and you could play out much of your deck in one turn with her. Also, we do have a spell commander in the form of Extus, Oriq Overlord, and it's really strong. These new adventure commanders are likely the same.

[@Sey318]

Sure can't wait for Wilds of Commandraine

[@zotha]

I expect the troll to be the shame scoop special for this set with people saccing the role to trade with Sheoldred forgetting it is a 4/4 without the role

[@kylejohnson4662]

If you create a copy of three blind mice, the 2nd/3rd lore chapters can make copies of itself, which makes new ones that can make more copies of three blind mice.

[@jongailey85]

I don’t think we need any more Panharmonicon effects personally, however I kind of feel happy for Seth when he gets to say that something is “literally another Panharmonicon”. I think Hylda is going to be the first freeze commander that is actually powerful and I’m here for it. I wanted to build Rhoda and Timin so much when they were spoiled, but didn’t feel like they had quite enough going for them. However, I do agree that Hylda can single-handedly win games if the deck is running properly. It’s definitely going to be an interesting archetype going forward that continues to slowly get more support every couple sets.

[@Donovarkhallum]

In response to syr ginger being targeted with removal you could. Always just sac it for life. That's fantastic.

[@lamiaprincess6371]

Out of the lower rarity stuff, Ruby the signpost Gruul uncommon looks great for Bard class. I actually think she looks better in the deck than Agatha, she's a hasty mana dork that's free and helps you ramp into Bard Class's card draw mode and into the cards you draw off of her. Monstrous Rage, the new red pump spell, also looks really good. An Instant that's just {R} and gives +3/+1 and Trample already seems quite strong, but the fact that +1/+1 and Trample are coming from the Monster role and hence are "permanent" seems really powerful. If you play a Swiftspear on one, you can hit your opponent to 19, and then on the next turn, cast Monstrous Rage and make Swiftspear a 5/4 Trample which is strong. If you have a Play with Fire, you can put your opponent to 11 Life on turn 2 which seems pretty fast honestly? And it costs as a modified creature for Thundering Raiju. It's a card that I want to experiment with for sure.

[@tankdempsey1818]

Important note for copying the standard fetches. You have to let the first trigger resolve to sacrifice it, then copy the "when you do" delayed trigger Edit: The first triggered ability is why they don't work with Elesh Norn

[@daflubbadubba1416]

Virtue of knowledge + leyline banding seems pretty strong on turn 3. She ginger also lines up well with the wandering emperor

[@stargazer2459]

Syr ginger doesn't work with tokens though. It doesn't trigger when they are destroyed, but when they go into the graveyard, and tokens don't go to the graveyard, they just get exiled.

[@gaetanperrault128]

Beseech + Artifact Land into the One Ring...Hey look, you have an Artifact to sacrifice for the next Beseech... We're definitely going to see this in Historic. But there are so many ways to make a resolved Beseech into a game ending proposition.

[@ramuslatsman6944]

Virtue of knowledge wouldn’t do anything with the Capena fetches since the resolution of the ability depends on the land being sacrificed. Due to the ‘when this enters sacrifice it, when you do…’ you would get two copies of the trigger but since you can only sacrifice the land once the second trigger to resolve won’t do anything.

[@Petronio39]

My tap deck has come a long way in recent years. It used to be running 7 mana Ojutai, but now it actually gets a real commander.

[@kennethstiles3930]

Beseech the Mirror will most likely be busted in Najeela decks as long as they have good mana fixing Edit: I can also see it being effective in Tivit

[@curiouschao1]

I think Kellen becomes the best way to build a sunforger commander and I kinda love it

[@ArtFord]

So Beseech the Mirror goes Quasi infinite with Wheel of Sun and Moon and The One Ring. Just cast your One Ring, draw whatever, then cast Beseech, saccing the ring, the ring goes back to the bottom of your library, then you go get the ring, and cast it for free, as well your Beseech finishes resolving and gets put on the bottom of the library. You can do all sorts of other cogs to this machine, but it can get some spicy results as soon as turn 1 or 2 with an artifact land. Also, wheel of sun and moon costs 2cmc, so you can get it with the first casting of Beseech if need be, and it'll be on the battlefield before Beseech resolves if the casting happens as part of Beseech's effect, not 100% sure on that.

[@AxillaryPower2]

Kellan may be *just another Boros Equipment commander*, but I think he's one of the top picks alongside Wyleth, or the number one pick for a deck looking for specific equipment like Sunforger or, say, Kaldra pieces (Tomer)

[@ethanglaeser9239]

Lich-Knights Conquest looks like a slam dunk in Slimefoot and Squee in Commander.

[@highshelf]

That faunsbane troll itself looks really strong

[@quincybriley4113]

The problem with Hylda is it's dependent on opponents having creatures. If they are playing some sort of combo or storm deck, they may not be running many creatures. No creatures and she's basically a 3/4 vanilla creature

[@akodotain]

Main deck Stroke of Midnight as it is flexible removal that gives you a tap target to combo on. Sideboard should get you the rest of the way.

[@senpaibos2748]

Lmaooooooooooo mono black coffers with breech to find one rings is crazyyy

[@HektischerHecht]

Lich-Knights Conquest immediately made me think of living end shenanigans for Historic. Obviously it's nowhere near Living end, but we already have most of the creatures living end plays on arena. Replace shardless and other creatures with sac fodder producers and you might have a new jank deck.

[@TheBalogna7]

Eriette seems like a really cool build around. Great synergy with the goad auras. Hylda also seems pretty awesome tap effects.

[@luisgutierrez8047]

Clawing torment is very nice with eriette. Create can't engage in combat at all and gets extra life damage

[@highshelf]

I like Hylda, when the original eldraine set came out I made a tap commander deck with gadwick and it was super fun. It was so jank ans surprisingly really powerful

[@noahhager1187]

already preordered a bundle. This has been the most excite I've ever been for a set. I love the flavor and loved the last set, even if it was broken.

[@TheEvolver311]

Because it was broken lol

[@williamrodenbough5518]

Seth does the best spoiler videos!

[@ArmanNasirworks]

I'm surprised it wasn't noted how perfect Syr Ginger is in anvil.

[@TheFluke32]

Virtue of Knowledge having an adventure is nice since you can have Lier, Disciple of the Drowned give the adventure side flashback on your opponent's turn, then play the Enchantment side from exile.😂

[@simonkuccera8399]

Will can be used multiple times in one turn, thanks to some untap support of WU color identity. You still probably winning (in EDH) by casting Approach of the second sun, but i can see casting it with discount then untapping Will to discount a X draw spell to get Approach back to your hand and probably cast it again to win the game

[@DominusSphinx]

definitely adding both agatha and her cauldron to my kenrith deck, agatha is like an extra biomancer's, shes a bit weaker at first but for 1 green kenrith can make her equal to biomancer's, and for 2 more she can just reduce kenrith fully by herself, and the cauldron will be great color fixing, goes quite nice with kenrith being able to give out counters to as many creatures as i need as well

[@blueredlover1060]

Generous Gift will be better in the aggregate, since it can hit things like Gaea's Cradle. Stroke of Midnight will likely be very good, but the ability to hit lands can't be understated.

[@marshallwilver8831]

While I do see the comparison with the adventure dragon, because it curves into itself, the main difference, I see is that both brazen borrower and the giant offered removal or interaction into a threat and this offers not so great card draw into a threat return later, which I feel drastically, lowers the power level of that card

[@cwill1090]

I laughed out loud when Seth brought up circle of loyalty... again.

[@Jero1020]

If Magic nowadays is a game in which a cookie knight is destroying Planeswalkers. I'm 100% all for it

[@Shimatzu95]

Unless i read it wrong lich knights conquest can be used as an unorthodox black mass blink spell because it can return the sacrificed creatures. Edit: to clarify they would beed to be artifact or enchantment creatures of course

[@Botanick13]

Isn't "artifact put into graveyard" actually way to prevent trigger from tokens because they do not go to GY?

[@L33TB33T]

They do they just cease to exist.

[@noahhager1187]

I think the end is really good for standard right now because I think it's a little too creature based. Think of standard without sheoldred, or raffine, or atraxa. It's a card we've been needing.

[@Allupons88]

Pre-banning Blood Moon, Sneak Attack, and other powerful cards from the enchanted tales really just murdered my hype.

[@andrewtaylor5883]

Hilda + Gideon's Avenger + Verity Circle + Intruder Alarm = Fun Color Pie Breaking UW **Needs tappers but I forsee Intruder Alarm being a staple as well as Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset

[@BrunoNunes83]

Beseech the Mirror on K'rrik is insane.

[@winssports4830]

Virtue of Knowledge is going straight into my ETB DRAGONS in commander. I wonder if Seth is undervaluing it sumply because it give you an early game doubled trigger and then late game can be a finisher with the rest of your ETB shenanigans.

[@CrowsofAcheron]

​@@SparkDragon42Bargain would be more interesting if the card's effect changed based on the permanent sacrificed. That would give the act of "bargaining" more flavor. Sacrificing a more expensive permanent would yield a bigger effect. But based on what we've seen it just acts like kicker, albeit a version that just synergizes with token strategies.

[@ajaxender12]

First, get the Smaug token. Then, copy it and get the 14 treasures. Then, do it again and have 28 treasures! What do we do with 28 treasures? We cast Lunar Frenzy for 1R and X=27... targeting Syr Ginger, which is now a 58/29 with first strike and trample. But hold on! We're playing Commander here! One 58/28 isn't going to cut it. But of course, that was just a feint, never happened, walk it back, instead we use two treasures for Vizkopa Guildmage, three more treasures to use it's second ability, and finally two more to float 2 mana. Now is when we cast Lunar Frenzy for 1R and X=20, Syr Ginger becomes a 51/29, we use the two floating mana to tap and sac Syr Ginger, we gain 51 life, all opponents lose 51 life, it's over ladies and gentlemen, it's over.

Hylda is my favorite as well. Been dying for a commander like this. I WILL make it work lol

[@ab14967]

Kellan is also good as just part of the 99. It adds another tutor and a decent effect creature to put on the board for more threats.

[@michaelsparks1571]

Hylda's golden-pig in EDH is gonna be Opposition. Instant speed tap all your opponents creatures if you have that much mana and get that many 4/4s

[@christopherpoet458]

I would play Will as a Blue/White angel commander. It kinda does better than mono white? For one, the possibility to grt omniscience at a cost reduction is good. But angers on average can net 4 or greater life at once. A lot of powerful angels are 6+. So, being able to follow up my commander with a strong life gain that leads to early drops of angels like avacin, i would say thats really good.

[@SilverAlex92]

[@akodotain]

It's the same wording as marionette master and that works fine with tokens. The token is seen going to the gy and doesn't care that it is removed from the game as part of being a token leaving play.

[@tianruixiao9239]

First thought on Hylda is using opposition and mind over matter, it does seem like a really fun and unique mechanic. You could also play Hylda in a Derevi deck and go nuts.

[@gabrote42]

2:07 Outside of standard there are many Auras that are actively harmful for the opponent, so that style could work in lower power formats 25:51 This plus thoughtlash = Thassa's Oracle. At worst it's Sheoldred 32:05 Copy Fury, Copy Door to Nothingness. Whatever you want if you pay for it 36:20 Bane of Narset, and Colorless! 39:21 Without Color Fixing or Lantern Control it's kinda slow, as you need to pray your opponent is playing your colors or wait until you can use the treasures to pay for it. But if you can, then it's very good 50:28 Strictly worse than Bywater unless Anthem tribal. Probably unplayable

Standard-Looking forward to wedding announcement and "lich knights conquest". Wedding already provides enough for two revived creatures. With harvester you can get an additional blood token(way to cycle your big creatures if you happen to draw them). Maybe a mardu shell right there. Imagine fable in standard still.

[@luisgutierrez8047]

Don't think wedding is necessary. Maybe for card draw? Grixis anvil or vampire engine would be better imo Grixis would be my take. The limiting factor will be having enough creatures in the graveyard. Maestros charm is perfect as it lets you dig 5 cards deep for this spell and to set up your graveyard. Could get out atraxa, etali and titan as early as turn 4. 1- Blood fountain. 2- Requisitioner. 3.9- cast charm to dig and set up graveyard. 3-4. Requisitioner dies and leaves being a treasure token. 4. You clown out your opponent.
