Niko9 on Your Favorite Plays

Oh and one of my absolute favorite plays is in my legacy ventures into the dungeon deck that uses Willbreaker as an endgame. Once willbreaker is down, weird things happen. I've had an opponent scoop to me playing Tolaria and that just felt kinda amazing. It's probably the one place where "target creature loses banding" is the last thing an opponent wants to see happen. Countering an ability from a land is just backbreaking, and one willbreaker has hexproof or something similar, it's not so much if I can take their creatures, but more of, which creatures do I want to take? : )

The dungeons are in the token section. I tried to put them in the sideboard so it's easier to see, but they ended up in tokens. But yeah, the deck really only uses Dungeon: Dungeon of the Mad Mage and Dungeon: Lost Mine of Phandelver, and we're trying to line up "target creature, something something" abilities on the dungeons with Willbreaker coming into play.

Basically, I just wanted to use Ellywick Tumblestrum in the most effective way I could : ) A happy go lucky planes traveling bard was just too much fun to let it slide by. But yeah, once Willbreaker comes in and I start hitting multiple ventures per turn with something like Yuan-Ti Malison with Fly on it, I can usually just yoink the world over to my side : )

I am also a huge D&D fan! I haven’t gotten anything from the Forgotten Realms set yet, but it’s on my list of things to do.

The dungeon mechanic from the set looks really cool, but I’m not seeing the dungeons themselves listed in your deck. How does that work?

Also, Willbreaker looks awesome. I’m glad you’re having fun with the deck so far!

Small note on the answer to scenario 1- SBAs have nothing to do with when something triggers. Willbreaker actually triggers while the Yasova Dragonclaw trigger is being put on the stack. This is a minor issue, but in some extreme corner cases with other triggers it matters that triggers happen at any time, not just when SBAs are checked.

Scenario 1)Yasova Dragonclaw's trigger goes on the stack, targeting Llanowar Elves. State based actions are checked, and Willbreaker's ability triggers and becomes the topmost item in the stack. You will gain control with Willbreaker's ability. Yasova's ability then fizzles, as it can only target creatures an opponent controls.

Scenarios 2 & 3) These are not functionally different, so long as you would control Llanowar Elves when Bazaar Trader's ability would resolve (which you will until the cleanup step, NOTE: there is no delayed trigger from Yasova, just a duration to the control effect).

Hello everyone!

My friend has a deck featuring Yasova Dragonclaw and he asked me some questions about control changing effects, and I couldn't be sure in all of them.

We are aware that control changing effects all happen in the same layer, but a thing or two or a little hard to explain.

Scenario 1)
Yasova Dragonclaw Triggers on combat, and I target an opposing Llanowar Elves with that ability; but I also control Willbreaker. What happens?

Scenario 2)
I take control of Llanowar Elves with Yasova as above, but I don't control Willbreaker. Instead I choose to target the elf with Bazaar Trader at the beggining of my second main phase.

Scenario 3) Same as above but I use Bazaar Trader in response to Yasova's delayed trigger at the beggining of my end step

I can recommend adding Willbreaker as a mono-blue commander. Plus I saw Stormsurge Kraken on the list and I think creatures with lieutenant should probably be banned in this format due to their increased power level considering they would be the commander in the situation. I love the format idea though and look forward to experimenting with some new cards!
