Before the planet was absorbed, his parents sent him off the planet in a escape pod to Earth, where he 'landed' (after knocking Megamind's pod off-course) under the Christmas tree of the Scotts' home. When he was still an infant, his home planet was destroyed by a black hole. He, like Megamind and Minion is the last member of his species. Metro Man, another alien refugee from the Glaupunk Quadrant, is the adopted son of Lord and Lady Scott, a retired superhero and Megamind's initial arch-nemesis of good (later to be 'replaced' by Tighten). Before the planet was absorbed, Megamind's parents sent him off the planet in an escape pod with his caretaker, Minion, to Earth. Eight days after his birth, his home planet was destroyed by a black hole. He is also the last known member of his race. Megamind is an alien refugee from the Glaupunk Quadrant, a reformed super-villain, and the current Defender of Metro City. On Decemthe /r/megamind subreddit was created for discussions about the films. On December 1, 2010, the Megamind Wiki was launched, gathering upwards of 230 pages over the next 8 years. On November 30th, 2010, an official Facebook page for the film was created, which gathered upwards of 9.7 million likes over the next 8 years. Now Megamind is the only hope to save the world from the mean Tighten. However, Tighten becomes greedy and evil and destroys Metro City. When Megamind decides to create another superhero to become his opponent, he accidentally transforms Hal Stewart into the super-powered Tighten, expecting that he would use his powers for good. Meanwhile he dates field reporter Roxanne Ritchie, who works with cameraman Hal Stewart, using the identity of curator Bernard and sooner they fall in love with each other. After a short period, Megamind feels bored without the battles against Metro Man. In their fights, Megamind always loses and ends up in prison however, Megamind develops a ray that kills Metro Man, reducing him to a skeleton. They become enemies and when they grow up, the population knows them as the superhero Metro Man and the villain Megamind. While one becomes popular but selfish, the other is absolutely outcast by the other students. They are raised in different environments of Metro City but study in the same school for gifted children. Their fate on Earth is opposite: one who is a beautiful baby with superpowers crashes in the lawn of a mansion, while the other who is ugly and blue with a big head crashes in a prison yard with his companion Minion. In the film, When a planet is about to be destroyed, two alien offspring are saved by their parents that launch them into space in pods. It is widely believed that either he or Megamind's mother created Minion.On November 5th, 2010, Megamind was released in theaters in the United States.However, his facial hair was more noticeable than his son, having a goatee, whereas the full-grown Megamind lacked a mustache and only had a soul patch. After realizing he must save Metro City from Titan's misdeeds, he realizes his parents were not supervillains and must now behave in a way they wanted to at the time of their saving him.īeing Megamind's true father, he clearly bears a resemblance to Megamind. However, this was at a time when he committed crimes. When Megamind takes over Metro City Minion tells him that his parents must be smiling down from "Evil Heaven". Megamind's father dies along with his partner when their planet is absorbed by a black hole. Before the pod takes off he tells his son that he is destined for greatness and hugs Megamind's mother as they watch their son depart. The Mega-Megamind mistook Megamind for Metro Man due to his new white suit and attempted to kill him. It was activated when Megamind pressed a red button that Minion found after the yard sale. Megamind built it when he was still a villain and programmed it to have his same personality. Once their son is inside the pod he gives him a glowing blue pacifier, which he refers to as his son's " binky", for comfort. The Mega-Megamind is a robot that appeared in Megamind: The Button of Doom. Megamind's father is only seen in a flashback, when his partner hands him their infant son and he takes him to escape pod. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tireless Tracker gives you a Clue whenever a land enters the battlefield, which helps you continue to dig through your deck for more lands and late-game finishers. Your Swarm will start multiplying like bacteria and you’ll have lethal damage swinging in an effectively unblockable form before you know it. ![]() Scute Swarm is a multiplying creature that gets totally out of hand once you hit six lands. If you’re opting to use this as a guide instead of a hardline law, I highly recommend including these. Here are some of the top landfall creatures included in the list that you can look forward to playing. These bonuses, while small on their own, quickly start to add up and cause serious concern in your opponent’s game. You want to play a lot of the best landfall cards that let you do things like draw cards, deal damage, distribute +1/+1 counters, and more whenever you play one or more lands per turn. This deck, and Omnath, Locus of Creation as a commander, entirely revolves around landfall triggers and turning a simple land drop into an absolute bomb spell that does way too much for you for one card. These are very powerful lightning rods that offer a ton of value if they go unchecked. Look for cards like Scute Swarm and Tireless Tracker. Part of what makes this deck so absurdly powerful is the fact that you can play a land, which can’t be stopped, and extract so much value that any single Stifle completely fails to disrupt you in a meaningful way. You also want to play some creatures with landfall in their oracle text. They provide some card advantage and info about your upcoming draws, which help you better plan ahead. Not to mention it helps you generate more mana through your commander.Īugur of Autumn and Courser of Kruphix are both excellent and help in a number of ways. Azusa, Lost but Seeking feels great to have and makes nearly every draw a good one. These either provide all colors you’re able to use or will be useful later on to play more lands.įollowing some kind of creature-based acceleration, creatures with landfall or that allow for extra lands per turn are welcome with open arms. You do this with a few mana dorks like Birds of Paradise, Budoka Gardener, and Lotus Cobra. When it comes to the early games, specifically the first two or three turns, your entire objective consists of getting the mana to play your commander. You run very few basic lands and you don’t need to worry about it too much as long as you’re not too forgiving in what hands you choose to keep or mulligan. But this list has a very complex (and expensive) mana base that should be able to do this most of the time. Omnath, Locus of Creation does, however, cost, which is a very complex mana cost that you’re not always guaranteed to hit on turn 4 or earlier. Yes, you read that right: your third land drop deals four damage to each opponent and planeswalker, which means you can very easily put your opponents on a clock from this triggered damage without even considering what combat damage you can threaten. You’ll very often be able to hit all three triggers in a single turn, which not only means you have incredible mana advantages but also creates a huge disparity in life totals between you and your opponents. While this deck doesn’t heavily rely on its commander to win, Omnath, Locus of Creation isn’t to be underestimated. While this deck is very strong it can’t hold its own too well against tuned cEDH decks, so it’s deemed “casual.” The Commander It doesn’t run efficient tutors or incredibly fast mana and has no infinite combos. Instead they’re restricted to very specific (and much lesser played) counterspells like Tale's End and Stifle.Īs a side note, I use the term “casual” not to mean that this deck is low power or not strong, but that it’s not quite cEDH level. This means your opponents can’t use conventional cards like Counterspell to stop a land from entering the battlefield and triggering a landfall keyword. It doesn’t use the stack and leaves no room for interaction between you and your opponent. Priority isn’t passed when you play a land. Land-based strategies are particularly strong thanks to their resilience and a lack of prevalent removal that seriously hinders them. You’ll use these powers in conjunction with blue’s interaction and reactive playstyle and white’s protection-based spells and efficient removal. Green and red both offer an incredible array of mana ramp and ways to play multiple lands a turn, even from your graveyard. This is also a 4-color deck so the mana base is as complex as it is powerful. The entire strategy revolves around triggering a lot of different landfall mechanics to maximize value and pull ahead of your opponents. The Omnath, Locus of Creation decklist I’m bringing you today is a land-based casual Commander deck. ![]() ![]() ![]() In David E Kelley’s streaming reboot, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Haller has shakier foundations – he’s rebuilding his practice after a rehab stint – and frayed ethics.
