No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

ok this deck list is really pathetic right now, i had more in mind but i forgot them them when i made this deck they all went poof(if you have any pls submit on comments) first hydras growth: this card is insane turn 6 you turn a 1/1 into a 9/9. this card should easily be a mythic. then ancient greenwarden: his second (third?) ability alone is equal to most mythic land cards that do that. and his ability is double landfall triggers is crazy. ive barely seen anything talking about this guy and there should be more. both ashiok and huatli are pretty good for uncommons. ashioks ability to destroy graveyards are really powerful against grave decks which are pretty popular right now. huatlis ability all time ability to make defense power is super powerful. think of all the cards that are like 1 for a 1/4 that are now 1 for a 4/4.again if you have any underrated cards pls tell me :)

Ok these are ones that comments suggested .Alfred: Chadra Awakened Inferno's first ability for plus two is really good considering they stack and can soon be ridicouless damage each turn if you dont dispose of her.Connive/Concoct concoct ability is pretty good considering it first surveils three then gets you a reanimated card, then its connive ability is good for control magicing small cards that get out of hand fast.( ex. warden of the first tree) . then thermo alchemist is really good for izzet decks since with shocks and thinderbolts they can add an extra dmge per spell.

To make it 5 colour here we go, connive/concoct and stitcher‘s supplier are both underrated, and I don’t see any dimir reanimator, the 2021 Chandra is underrated for Sideboards against control, and finally for white Reya dawnbringer just has the most stupid graveyard recursion

hmm i just checked the reya dawnbringer card because before i thought you just mispelled lyra dawnbringer, it does have a really good graveyard recusrion but it does cost nine.

That’s also true, but I use it really only in reanimator decks, so the cost doesn’t matter, and I got you to 5 colours my job is done

In my opinion it's hard to rate a card in general as many cards only show their full potential in combination with others, but do very few on their own. So to me, except for Ashiok, Dream Render (which I've seen in some MTGA sideboards while I was active there), the cards you've listed until are underrated/ overpowered only for 1-2 decks, but others would never even think of adding them.
For example Ancient Greenwarden works very well in a standard landfall deck, but would ultimately loose in modern to Crucible of Worlds because it's faster to play and can be used by more decks. Another example would be Midnight Guard which is a creature with pseudo vigilance, but in combination with Presence of Gond he reaches a whole new level.

While this is true, they only have to be underrated for any deck to be underrated

I would rather try to find mechanics (Fear, Intimidate and so on.) that are underrated, but even this will be hard.

I'm assuming you are somewhat new or not too big into the world of magic as most of these cards power levels are already known.

The reason a lot of them aren't super hyped is because of their narrow scope or cards that do their job better for a lower cost or easier cast in general.

Huatli is the perfect example of a card that exists in many other forms and colors, so she just is basically a different colored Doran but without a body behind it and she only applies to your creatures. Chandra is known to be very strong but being a 6 drop in red just makes her very slow without other colors behind it, and usually with red you've done significant damage before needing her to win.

Time to make my entry.
Cyclopean mummy is the most underrated card of them all.
Back when it was made nobody understood it's mechanic.
When put in a deck with reshuffling effects it applies early pressure and stays out of the way lategame.
To really appreciate the mechanic you have to think about what would have happened if they had printed multiple black creatures with the same mechanic, then it reveals what it's for.

Back then it didn't get used in any decks, so the mechanic got scrapped.

Cyclopean mummy is still on the pages of worst cards ever printed.
Now you know the truth...

In very certain decks it’s alright, and there are cards that do it better, but for more things, and most of the used cards that say reshuffle give you choices

I'd personally love a cycle of cyclopean cards that exiled themselves. These days there are also cards that exploit the exile zone, but I'd still try out a deck full of cyclopean mummies if it was legal.
Hey, maybe that's a new format ?

Modern with any amount of cyclopean mummy you want to use :)

Also I have made a aggro first control later deck, but I don’t remember what it is

At first the deck is filled with equal amounts of aggro and control and there would be a certain number of cards that reshuffled cards from the grave into the library, then as battle and removal from the opponent would remove fallen mummies from the deck, more and more control would get reshuffled. The need for threats at that stage would likely be gone, but a few mummies would be drawn, but less and less frequent as everything else would be continuously reshuffled.

You don’t need the mummy’s just grab the cards that you choose what to reshuffle there’s more of them

That implies that you got a choice at what gets reshuffled, but that choice is rarely there.

We could easily test out the concept, find an aggro/control deck where cards already get reshuffled, and I'll improve the deck using only cyclopean mummies, by cutting cards away.
We'd also need a deck to beat that the original aggro/control deck can't beat traditionally.

I'm game...

Any candidate decks ? For an easy transition the deck would need to have some black cards in it.

You get a choice what gets reshuffled, you don’t get a choice what you draw from those reshuffled cards

True, and by knowing that, you base the design on that so it becomes an advantage. Do you know any other decktype that increases its control over time ? (Short of stream of thought) ;)

You realise that if you find it, I'm likely to improve on it with cyclopean mummy ;)

You really don't visualise it's effect ?
It's one of my favorite rogue topics over time, and lots of other people have admitted in the past that they'd like a cyclopean cycle of cards as well.

I can see it’s usefulness, and I would like a new cycle of cyclopean cards, but either make it a downside or make some other card gain from having cards in exile

Yeah, a powered up cyclopean could be interesting to see ;)
Some of the eldrazi cards might be able to abuse it.

As is stands right now it’s a 2 mana 2/1 with a downside in 99% of circumstances
