MTG Specs - In Defence of Simic Design / Nadu, Winged Wisdom / Modern horizons 3 / Magic: the Gathering

It's Modern Horizons 3 spoiler season and this is a video for Nadu, Winged Wisdom, a Simic legendary that is causing quite a commotion among EDH players! Don't get me wrong - this is one of the most bewildering designs I've seen in Magic: the Gathering for a long time but I've reconciled that by considering which players it is aimed at. I include two commander lists - one that embraces the busted, another that uses energy counters, a weak strategy made better by a strong commander.

List one: Busted Nadu

List two: Energy counters Nadu

(I originally tried to make Homunculus typal work - even Nadu could not save it)
