Maybe at the end of each year a video on which color (multicolored colorless, bombs, cars you should stop playing)does the best view wise for the set review
There are a LOT of common and uncommon 2 mana 1/3s in this set between blue and Black. I guess they made it so the format would be slower and those creatures can block efficiently, not being trampled by the token decks.
I just checked: there is only one card with the type snail in Magic and it’s Skullcap Snail from LCI. So that card is in standard. I wonder if a deck can be brewed out of this
Will be cool if there's a table of percentages of synergistic/relevant cards. Hard to do with rushed videos but will ultimately make your set review apart from the rest. Eg, let's say a card has a blink ability, it becomes relevant to show the number of instant removals and etb effects available in the set. If a card has expend 4, it becomes relevant to show the number of 4 mana cost common/uncommon cards that are at least the rating of c.
Is it just me or are there suprisingly few cards that actually create food tokens compared to how much food payoff there is? Maybe i missed something, but excluding the "gift a food"-stuff there was... one (the class enchantment)?
There five(six) commons that make or are food(One is white so not in the food colours) Then two more at uncommon. If we look at the food sets. Wilds had 10 commons and 13 uncommons, lords had 9 commons and 8 uncommons, Throne had 13 commons and 5 uncommon. So yeah, you not missing anything major, plus there no non rare card that can repeatable make food token(And there only one rare that can) so I'm also wondering how well the green black deck will function. Guess it depends on the graveyard side of forage.
hey, so the cruelclaw card, seems really good, as the gifted card could be the one stolen it is essentially the instant of innistrad, the dimir. Dunno remember the final score of that, but this seems better, as in heavy black decks it can mean stealing a bomb from a great hand, or crucial spell from a shaky hand. On top of that making it exile is meaningful as you said there are 2 GY decks.
Question: Which has the better art: this set or Wilds of Eldraine? You have the deadly-serious life-and-death struggle of cute creatures vs. the hilariously demented Brothers Grimm setting that went from G-rated Disney to Quentin Tarantino.
Nocturnal hunger you failed to mention you may have to give them a food if you are playing against anyone who cares if opponents lose life. It is an instant so you might be playing in during their turn.
Have we ever had a typal format where each color pair has it's own type before? It's usually just each color has 1 or 2 types, But I think this way might be better? I'm really interested to see how it shakes out, I especially like the duo cards helping to bridge two types with similarish strats. Great vid as always!
I think Zendikar Rising has the same of typal/mechanic system, with a creature type and associated mechanic for the color pairs, but that was only for 4 of the color pairs.
Hey wait a second, I got a major problem with your assessment of “Coiling Rebirth”, 4:41 . This set already has “create a 1/1 token copy” of creatures already built in, with offspring. This essentially gives every creature in your graveyard offspring, just by gifting. There’s actually 7 cards whose mana cost + offspring cost are 5 or more, so it’s actually just as efficient if not more efficient for those creatures. Offspring itself is also a powerful mechanic, so this card seems way more powerful than you give it credit for considering it has offspring built in. So, the gift is worth it if the offspring for that card is worth a card or more, like with Thornplate Intimidator.
Thornplate Intimidator is indeed a nice thing to get back with Coiling Rebirth, but when you factor in the set up cost and the fact that...y'know, you aren't going to have thornplate intimidator or something else worthwhile all the time, and it's just not a great card.
Maha is truly ridiculously overpowered. I feel like it's going to be the new play it, opponent scoops for a lot of decks. Downwind Ambusher feels like a new Flametongue Kavu. Can take down a 5 toughness attacker at instant speed? NICE. Outside of Limited, imagine a Hoggark deck with Huskburster Swarm. OUCH!!!!
Lots of removal in black. I wonder how oppressive it’ll be in limited, because if any of these cards is too good it’ll end up boosting mono black in standard, which’ll be fun for nobody on Arena
I would recommend seeing a doctor if it's a lot of blood. A small amount may be as simple as the result of a large bowel movement straining things. If that's the case, it's not something you really need to worry about. If it's a lot of blood, definitely see a doctor.
