She is pretty safe with her topic, would like more character from her, but she trives from being more of a host also, it's a thought call, all in all

@quaroaquilinusbarfing9700 Год назад

Perfect to have Rachel for this: sharp card analysis and plenty of useful insights

@Doombot2point0 Год назад

Interesting to hear JLK say he prefers a slower format. I had assumed they were happy with it being more competitive so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that. My biggest complaint about commander in the past like 5 years is that it went from playing standard jank battle cruiser like stuff (Which I love) to like winning turn 5 with some combo. Bro I just wanna play my big angels and dragons and stuff and have fun combats lol

@twoneraps3352 Год назад

you didn't know he liked a slower format? usually he likes to build up a value engine until he pops off which generally needs to be slower

@MrThouMad Год назад

Always remember your pods power level is up to you! You don't have to have turn 5 wins if you communicate with everyone in your group!!

41:15 my favorite chaos warp moment is when my friend put his Phage into play and lost instantly lol

@janmelantu7490 Год назад

There’s been a lot of arguing about which Defiler is the most powerful. I personally love just how diverse everyone’s perspectives on how they’ll fit into different metas.

@kelseyo402 Год назад

It’s neat to see all the different ideas and shows how different a play group or play style can determine the exact value of a card!

@sxychtulhu2425 Год назад

Defiler of flesh is going straight into my horror deck tho. :) We'll see. These three videos with Rachel has been awesome. She has great chemistry with both Josh and Jimmy and is great at analyzing cards and I also like the longer videos with more deep diving. So more Rachel please! :)

@shekki3192 Год назад

I thought so too, but if you use Captain as your commander, menace stuff is just so wasteful.

@DoubleOhSilver Год назад

Glad the current speed of the format was brought up. It's annoying when 3 of us at the table at a LGS are running fun, slow decks, but then the 4th player has enough speed to be unaffected by a board wipe (that actually wiped him) and still takes 3 consecutive turns and hits his alt win condition by turn 7.

@mitchfitzgerald945 Год назад

Loving this set personally it's been great to get back to something that feels more like magic.

@loosemoose5217 Год назад

Lmao and right afterwards, here is an unset with commander legal cards and a dumb sticker mechanics an 2 extra deck mechanics (which I don't actually mind extra deck that much but it's a little much)

@austinquillen9777 Год назад

Defiler of Instinct is a shoo-in for a ping deck with the new 40K legendary that turns 1 damage pings into 3 damage

@davidlyon649 Год назад

Defiler of Dreams works really well in sphinx tribal with Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign. Being able to reduce colored mana of your sphinxes is really valuable since there are so many blue pips on the high cost sphinxes and stacking too many colorless cost reducers can have diminishing returns/no effect outside of commander tax. Not to mention it draws you a card on top of the Fact or Fiction effect of Unesh every time you play a sphinx. It's probably the best sphinx to include in the deck.

@trowawayacc Год назад

Or you could use it to reanimate in. BUG deck…

@cebenify Год назад

The less blue mana I spend to cast sphinxes, the more I have for counter spells

@SpecialKail Год назад

Congrats to Rachel for being the most permanent host over the past month for a show that isn’t even her main thing lol Just make her a permanent host and make it a three person cast. Her analysis and vibes are A+

@vaporeon344 Год назад

Gotta say, the white Defiler is absolutely crazy in Light-Paws. I play a very low curve Light-Paws list, and even with its high mana (in comparison to 1-3 mana auras), the card is absolutely bonkers.

@Scopesightzx Год назад

Defiler of dreams is cool in blue decks that bounce it's own creatures, specifically with Shrieking Drake

@sufifi Год назад

Agreed, gonna love that one in my Naban deck, with enough cost reduction a card like Venser becomes a 1 mana cantrip which can bounce any spell or permanent, pretty neat !

@jtowensbyiii6018 Год назад

Cast not bounce

Defiler of dreams is the perfect blue card draw spell I’ve been looking for for the past several months ❤

@gwampa7066 Год назад

I think its worth noting that Defiler of Faith has the most relevant creature type. Its going straight into my mardu humans deck which still happens to have 28 white permanents

@jamespatterson5644 Год назад

pondering it in my Athreos deck. possible combo life gain/aristocrats. already run white mane lion and pearl medallion and Oketra's monument.

@thewells1024 Год назад

One important thing for Serra paragon is that it’s not a replacement effect. So it will still go to the graveyard and so any instant speed ways of getting it out will save it. For instance either athreos will work, or you can exile it to Myrkul and get a copy

@chrisgebben2043 Год назад

they actually already mention that with "Flash" spells with the paragon

@Ryan-so3il Год назад

Defiler of faith and vigor's cast triggers should have been swapped. White needs another Cathars crusade and green was fine without one.

@owenzheng8357 Год назад

For the defiler cycle, there's shadowborn apostles and persistent petitioners, which is an archetype that profits the most. Also a Chaotic Transformation in a Hinata, Dawn Crowned deck could be incredibly fun.

@ggflowen Год назад

Rachel Weeks, you're AWESOME! I love your input, I hope you are in many more of these analysis videos. Thanks so much for your commentary!

@DrMrPunny Год назад

Loved that Rachel gave a voice to different metas. I’m a big fan of command zone content in general but one thing that can sometimes put me off is the discussion of commander “speeding up”. While it’s been acknowledged by JLK and Jimmy that they’re speaking from their personal experiences, it’s nice to have insight into card evaluation that acknowledges not all metas, playgroups, or LGS’s are experiencing this speeding up.

@mizzlchieizzl Год назад

Thanks for the review! I love that I can take a look quick and then come back later when I can pay more attention longer.

@JonathanHecht Год назад

@NotYourPalGuy Год назад

You can combo Cut Down with a black spell that gives -x/-x until end of turn to lower some bigger creatures to make more targets

@nik700 Год назад

Cut Down feels like a meta call. Super efficient, yes, but far from Tragic Slip/Fall or even Fatal Push. Also, if the dork/hatebear has a +1+1 counter, you're looking at a dead card in your hand

@wolframflorian Год назад

1:17:44 i run it in my Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain Deck... and my god! It makes me fly! 😃

@tortorugo Год назад

The Phasing of Zhalfir saga is very good on a Raff Capashen deck. You can play it in the end step before your turn, phase out Raff, then, in your turn, it will destroy all creatures, and Raff will come back. Instant speed board wipe that protect your commander.

@metallicapirate Год назад

Honestly, I think the defilers are going to be great in multicolored decks where permanents have one pip of said color. It allows you the flexibility of not needing the mana to cast some of them.

@Beev37 Год назад

The blue defiler im 100% putting in my Volo, Guide to Monsters deck. It fits soooo well.

@Ketchemup Год назад

Blue defiler is perfect for my Barrin Master Wizard deck. The best engines in the deck normally revolve around 1 or 2 cmc creatures, and the combos are all creature based.

Defiler of Dreams absolutely goes in orvar lol copy it a bunch of times, cast a blue permanent, draw a bunch of cards! Orvar, 30ish lands, 8ish rocks, 30 spells that copy stuff with Orvar's ability by targeting permanents 30ish permanents to copy, include isochron scepter and vesuvan duplimancy and Thoracle for a wincon if you deck yourself or clone enough things

Silverback Elder + Ancienstral Statue: Use the power of the Statue to blink herself while f.e. cost nothing, the blew up every Artifact and Enchantment, search every Land from your Deck, maybe with Landfall, then gain infinite Life. So powerfull, mostly in Landfall or Lifegain/Lifedrain Decks.

One thing I think maybe should have been talked about with the defilers is how good they are on 2c cards where you can effectively turn them into 1c cards.

@Notorious_BHG Год назад

For how the Weatherlight was compleated - for those of you who haven't read/don't read the stories - when the invasion started the crew were using it as a smuggling ship by carrying a load of phyrexian scrap on it (Dominarian's know the ship so don't shoot it, Phyrexian see artifacts so don't shoot it, actually kinda smart). In one of the side stories, the ship is attacked and has to land for repairs. As the ship is "alive" because of the Weatherseed used to make it, eventually all the Glistening Oil dripping off the Phyrexian scrap soaked into the wood and, in it's damaged state, the power core couldn't fight off the corruption and so the ship was able to be compleated Edit: Good. Hail Phyrexia 😉

@ronmarshall1566 Год назад

@MTGPlayer10 Год назад

Granted Chaotic Transformation is an expensive (casting cost) card but its actually really good. All it says it "target" meaning you don't have to have all of the targets be your opponents..you can get rid of your own stuff in the hopes of finding something better. I wouldn't just dismiss this card..definitely try it out.

@Crovax Год назад

i think every defiler is an insta add for any deck. Any way of reducing costs is good, because if you spend less mana to play your permanents (even one mana) is more mana for another spells.

@olivierdebilde4292 Год назад

Defiler of dreams will be totally bonkers in my blue devotion deck, for sure !

Defiler of Vigor and Silverback Elder are absolutely perfect in a Goreclaw deck.

@paulhedges4625 Год назад

Only thing about Plaza of Heroes is that if you have a commander (For example, Kenrith) that is only a single color as a permanent you probably don't want it. I'm not sure it makes the land bad, but maybe not great for those specific decks. Edit: Shouldn't have commentated before watching that entire section :). Good catch, Command Zone.

@TheMattallen Год назад

@serafimb2319 Год назад

The thing about silverback elders last effect is that it always gives you what it promises. You might not have a good target to destroy (in most cases you woll, to be fair) and the ramp effect has a chance to whiff (i will personally still always go for that one). But the last effect will always give you 4 life.

@JakeAce13 Год назад

What I find weird about the wording on The Phasing of Zalfir is, that it does not clarify any phasing back in. Usually mtg cards are very clear about what they do and when. However the phasing only specifies that the phased out permanents cannot phase in for as long as it is in play. It does not specify them phasing back in when it leaves the battlefield. From the text alone it leaves you with one or two permanents phased out which technically could phase in again after it leaves play but do not automatically do so. Would be funny if that was actually the case
