The STRONGEST Cards in Duskmourn | You'll Want These At The Pre-Release! | Magic: the Gathering 

Luigi, Frightened Exorcist [1][G][W] {2/4 Legendary Human Plumber} - Reach - Whenever you unlock a door, exile target spirit, demon, horror or nightmare. Luigi gains +1/+1 for each spell exiled by this effect.

With that wording, Luigi will never get +1/+1 because permanents aren't spells.

ever tried "dead en job" ? This is the kind of super fluo Luigi Mansion ghostbuster'Stimpy mashup (On steam or switch on a tv it is ok, on a switch oled in hand it is magical)

@@JasonOshinko It's just subtle semantic differences. Almost every card played that''s not a land is a spell while on the stack, including permanents such as creatures and enchantments. If you change the wording on the Luigi card from "spell" to "card", it'd mostly work. I say mostly because it's probably better / cleaner to have the second part be a trigger; something like ""whenever a CARD is exiled this way, put a +1/+1 counter on Luigi".

Unfortunately (or thankfully) that will never happen. Niko specifies nonlegendary

​@Chaosuser32 the overlords aren't legendary

thankfully you have to wait until the overlord is a creature first

Worth noting that the overlord's 'enter' abilities won't trigger from the shards copying them since the shards themselves already entered previously and becoming a copy doesn't count as entering... ...But you're *still right* that this play is essentially an insta-win because the overlords trigger on "enters or attacks" and you can just immediately attack with the shards to get 2x (or more if you've been blinking Niko) attack triggers, and then another enters trigger after the overlord comes back from exile. So for the white Overlord that's a reasonable floor of SIX extra 2/1 flyers for 2 mana, along with a temporary pair of 6/6 attackers - and then if your opponent doesn't interact you can do the same thing again next turn.

I wish the Niko card wasn’t so ugly to look at.

Someday my friend. Someday.

I wonder if Nizzahon will someday acknowledge you in some way even if he doesnt do the top 10 list. Commenting under every top 10 video ever is pretty dedicated!

Swwarm Weaver is basically Writhing Crysalis so it's busted :p

@@soprettymuchthatsthewayitis i am lacking that specific context but i saw pia and kinan nalaar (i think that was the name) without the sac outlet and thought good but not busted, but considering delirium is a set mechanic and the buff applying to other creatures i for sure underrated it

@@Shimatzu95 Writhing Chrysalis is a common from MH3, and was the 8th best *card* in the set. 2RG for a 2/3 with reach and devoid. ETB it made 2 0/1 eldrazi spawn with [sac: add {c}] and whenever you sac an eldrazi put a +1/+1 counter on it your comparison is probably more apt since chrysalis didn't make fliers but shamnyways xd

You're not crazy, big blue has no business in that number 1 slot, but can debatably make the honor club. Blues card draw effect looks great when it's on the typical 2-3 cost blue/red weenies you see it frequently attached to but on 5 cost with double pips and toughness that doesn't exactly scream resistant to creature removal... I'm calling foul on that pic. Playing that Black room Turn 3 is about 10x better value for the card advantage alone, not to mention that those extra cards draws you're paying the 4 life for up front practically guarantees you'll have the mana to open up the other half turn 5 on the dot, which from there has you drawing cards that you're opponents paying the life for until he can remove your 6/6 demon plus any other demons you have on the field. 6/6 flyer for his 5 mana plus access to card draw plus life gain the following turn and being too large for most damage removal spells to deal with Trump's that flying librarian 10 fold. Arguing that neither cards card advantage comes at acceptable cost for limited format would be a much stronger argument than any kind of snake oil pitch you may imagine that tries to place the floating Eldritch boom nerd in the top spot. Seriously. Swap out the blue for the black overlord if you really need the 1 spot to have 3 Overlords on it. And it's basic rule of thumb since alpha that anything that can be killed instantly by a lightning bolt can't be a bomb. Especially as a flyer makes him vulnerable greens bag of instant kill flyer tricks. How big blue doesn't come with at least ward 1 or that discard drawback is beyond me.

Blue overlord is great. very efficient body and it’s always at least +1 vs removal. Idt it’s ever worth impending tho (unless u need to hit land drops)

It looks like a really fun limited set in my opinion

I've been going to the pre-released recently, they're a ton of fun. If you can attend, I'd say give it a shot! There's worse ways to kill four hours than three rounds of magic and six boosters.

You won’t regret it dude. Prerelease is a blast, I’ve never had a bad time at one.

Prerelease is only like $35 and includes 6 boosters, a promo, a spin down, and chance to win more boosters by winning. It’s totally worth it.

I hate being at prerelease and having to use art cards and spare lands as tokens bc everything makes tokens nowadays and they dont provide any in the kits - just some in packs

kind of, you risk to bleed yourself out twice as fast, but anyway it's better to get the card at the end of your turn and _hopefully_ cast it in your opponent's turn rather than waiting to your upkeep. And *that's just the floor / worst case scenario*

not strictly since the floor is 2 life lost per turn, but the ceiling is an awful lot higher.

You take twice as much damage per turn, which is a significant downside. It means if you can't stick a demon then your clock is a lot shorter. The upside on this card is obviously huge though.

No, not at all

Thanks, welcome aboard!

That is correct.

Imagine if the world was made of pudding

They are there. I never talk about them in these videos, I just show them.

@@NizzahonMagic fixed :x tbf, I was listening and it transitioned quickly, but I “assumed”!

I think because it's illusory, like lots of stuff on Duskmourn

@@NizzahonMagic then how does it crush 😭

you’re overlooking the fact that it leaves ur best creature in play. that’s pretty huge

Its hard to play around and you will almost never expect it

It definitely seems like an awkward card - if your biggest guy can't wipe their board then it's probably uncastable. There is also the risk of getting blown out by instant speed removal. On the other hand, sweepers seem extremely strong in this format with so many tokens and manifests floating around. I think the fact that you can control how much damage it does if the board is locked nudges it more toward being a bomb, it's hard to say how this will really line up though.

Then you aren’t feeling right

What would you suggest as an alternative? It's ok to point out a "problem" (let's call it a problem), that's the "pars destruens" of an argument (the "destructive" part), but what is your "pars construens" ("constructive part") which completes a critique making it a "constructive critique"?

Pretty sure he's cool with trans people so I doubt he was intentionally avoiding saying anything.

Saying I was "trying to avoid using they/them" pronouns makes it sound like I don't think that people should use them. But I wrote a story article for Card Kingdom when I used them a lot with Niko that should prove otherwise and have used 'they/them' many times on the channel too. The truth is much less nefarious. These top 10 bomb videos are always unscripted (unlike most of my top 10s), and my hesitation there was me forgetting the name of the card and needing to find it on my screen.

It's not that deep man. I'm pretty sure it was not intentional. It just sounds like you're looking for a reason to complain lol

his cadence and wording were not unusual in the slightest. you were locked tf in during that segment to see if you could piss and moan in the comments huh
