Our boy Krenko, Mob Boss is getting a reprint in Foundations. I'm very excited for new players to pull him and have an opportunity to build a very fun deck.

[burnsboy]

4:46 it’s not only a coward until end of turn, it’s a permanent coward

[thenachobush]

Ever since I laid my eyes on Shroofus, I knew I had to build him. He's just a wee lil guy.

50:25 Short answer: When you look at a face-down card, it becomes information that you have access to. You can actually look at it whenever.
Long answer: Here is the text to rule 406.3: "Exiled cards are, by default, kept face up and may be examined by any player at any time. Cards “exiled face down” can’t be examined by any player except when instructions allow it. However, if a player is instructed to look at a card and then exile it face down, or once a player is allowed to look at a card exiled face down, that player may continue to look at that card until it leaves the exile zone or is part of a pile of cards that are shuffled, even if the instruction allowing the player to do so no longer applies."

I built a gornog deck, pure warriors spam red deck wins aggro with a bunch of exile draw, it's surprisingly effective, often pushing 15+ damage on turn 5. Wanting to keep multiple players alive for those +6/+0, even +9/+0 aura on your cheap warriors after a few attacks makes for a surprisingly fun and dynamic aggro deck too that doesn't make players feel like they're hated out. I honestly think it's in the top 5 of the set

[TylerWessling]

Slinza is under rated. The beasts can get so many counters on them and the trample potential is crazy. And don't forget about big boy cratter for the win costing 2 less

[TrueHylianKnight]

Yall definitely slept on my boy Gornog. The "Coward" debuff is permanent and happens when him or ANY warrior attacks, and pumps up your board for each one. Every game I've played with him every opposing creature is a coward and I'm swinging in for 20+ unblockable damage at times. Card is an absolute slapper

[CB-gxpb]

Week in with ozox last place seems ridiculous. Sacrifice triggers en mas and no commander tax at all.

[errinscroggins]

Zur Ashur has answered my zombie prayers, move over mikaeus you’re going to the 99

[ian-krkc]

Y'all definitely didn't play any games with ozox, multiple cheap sacrifice fodder, never pay command tax, and he combos with a ham sandwich, a way to reduce his cost and an ashnods altar or a phyrexian altar and a blood artist effect and it's over and that's only like one of the 10 combo lines he has

[hobez]

Love the Minotaur Warrior for my Hazezon deck. For 3 mana, I make it so the best creature each opponent has can't block and the Sand Warriors get +3/+0 till end of turn, and only increases if they let the Minotaur stay around

[codychism]

Gornog isn't until end of turn so with extra combats and a few turns your guys will get big af

[awboqm]

51:15 You should be able to look at those cards again. It’s like morph. You’re told to exile it face down so that your opponents don’t know what they are. Since you have to cast them, you’d have to be able to look at them

[calebhartman]

Ozox can form an infinite loop with Phyrexian Altar and Ashnod's Altar. Sac. him to Ashods, get Jumble, sac. to Phyrexian for black, return Ozox to hand, recast Ozox and repeat. Combos with any etb ltb payoffs. Imo not the worst commander in the set.

[devilmaaan]

I tested Ozox, and i'll argue he is an insane combo commander

[xx_swag_dinkster_xx]

Ozox is pretty good mono black aristocrat deck

[DrDuzzy]

Honestly I do think tinybones is very solid considering if you can get enough discard in your deck, it won’t matter if they choose their discards, because they’ll be discarding too much to keep you from getting good cards off them. Plus an extra hand that can’t be touched really frees you up to take more instant utility and removal to balance out the stash being limited to your turn.

[ieuanx]

the template change with names/this card is only for non-legendary cards. legendary cards say their name

[stfinalwrath]

If you wanna run unicorns and pegasi, just run one of the two selesnya ones. You lose out on the best of the group Thurid covers without green. So stick that bad boy in the 99 of the selesnya one and you're good to go with a better build. It also opens you up to +1/+1 counter synergy which is a supported effect by Lathiel and Emiel. Your unicorn deck will be significantly stronger that way.

The exile card face down is specifically so the owner of the card does not knowledge of it. Like if you steal a counterspell and everyone has knowledge they kind of play it around you since it’s public knowledge to everyone
