The Canada Geeks

☠️Plague Myr☠️ Hey everyone I’m back (hopefully) to my daily posting grind 😅. That of course means I have to post a super sweet promo (and one of my favourite cards) Plague Myr and try to get people back to liking my stuff 😂.

When it comes to mana dorks in Commander if you’re outside of green the best you can do is two CMC, two has pretty much become the gold standard in the format. Yes 9/10 times Mana Rocks are better than Mana Dorks but! How many two mana rocks have the capability of winning you the game hmmm? Plague Myr is a two mana 1/1 that taps for a colourless which is perfectly serviceable but it has the upside of having (everyone’s favourite way to lose) INFECT! Ten hits (or less with buffs) and my two cmc dork takes you out of the game😅. I run it in my Losheel and there are definitely games where it gets there.

😈 Ob Nixilis, the Adversary😈 So I had a hell of a prerelease kit 😅, not only did I pull a Bootleggers’ Stash but my promo was none other than Ob Nixilis. I also managed to go 2-1 without playing either card. I don’t have a lot to say about it because well... I owned it for a couple hours.
•
When opened it I immediately did what sane Mtg Instagram person would do… I took a picture of it (which I posted a week late) put it into a sleeve and traded it in while it’s value was high 😅.

👻Extus, Oriq Overlord👻 Here’s my brand new Extus Spirit Tribal deck. Extus was an incredibly popular Mardu commander when Strixhaven hit but most people built around the back side which… I’m totally ignoring other than the added colour identity.
•
The deck is pretty simple in concept. I wanted to be aggressive with creating spirit tokens and get out a bunch of lords in order to beat my opponents down. What makes this deck interesting to me is just how relentless I can be. With small creatures like Bloodghast that recur themselves, reanimating creatures with well… reanimate and just getting non legendarys back to hand with Extus’ ability whenever I cast or copy an instant or sorcery.
•
Hofri is my hidden Commander and is likely the card I’m tutoring for first. His ability to make extra tokens and take advantage of cards like Kami of false hope that sacrifices itself can be absolutely back breaking for your opponents. The deck was inspired heavily by Hofri list that still haunts my dreams… get it? 🤣 Let me know what you think!

🦅Aerial Surveyor🦅 It would seem that the theme for my last couple of post is three mana 3/4 vehicles with crew two that… do a thing? This one is definitely better than the last and it might just be best white catch up ramp card they’ve printed in a while.
•
The card itself is better straight forward, crew it, swing in with your 3/4 flyer and if they have more lands than you… you get yourself a basic. This being an attack trigger vs a on damage trigger is a huge upside. Obviously it’s a must play in Vehicle deck but I think you can jam it in almost any non green white inclusive deck and feel pretty good about it 🤷‍♂️.

✋Access Denied✋ Blue is easily my least played colour when it comes to magic. It’s not that I dislike it, it’s more that I haven’t really come across a Commander that speaks to me in a unique way. The thing that makes magic so great is that with each new set we are given new cards that either create new archetypes or help under supported ones.
•
Access Denied is a five cmc counterspell (three and two blue) that has a really cool effect stapled onto it (which it better have for five mana 😂). When we counter a spell we get to create X 1/1 flying thopter tokens where X is that spells mana value (MV/CMC). What makes Counterspells powerful is the potential tempo swing that it gives you. You can develop your board a bit and hold a few mana up and when an opponent spends a turn playing one big spell and you counter it (presumably for less mana) you’ve basically had them take a turn off. In the case of Access Denied you can (for a bit more mana) counter a spell and develop your board at the same time. Making say… eight thopters from countering a craterhoof gives you eight blockers, or potentially eight evasive bodies with pseudo haste.
•
Is this card going to change the world? I don’t think so but it’s definitely inspired me to make a Sai, Master Thopterist… Thopter tribal deck and that’s something I don’t know if I would try without it 🤷‍♂️.
