Prophecy | Commander Sleeper Series [Best Budget EDH Cards]

Hello, and welcome to the Commander Sleeper Series!

In this video, Jake and Joel go over Prophecy, the 20th MTG expansion. Know for a long time for only Rhystic Study, Prophecy is a small set that boasts one of the most-played EDH commons. Over the years Overburden has gained value, however this video will focus on the cards that aren't as expensive as Rhystic Study or Overburden, cards that can be acquired for only a couple dollars, that have niche uses but are still impactful in EDH... the sleepers.

When Pioneer was announced, we knew that we needed to cover each Pioneer-legal set and sift through the bulk for cards with hidden potential. We had so much fun doing the Pioneer Sleeper Series, that we decided it would be a great project to attempt to cover Commander (EDH) from a similar perspective: What are cheap cards that have good commander playablity and value? In this series, we attempt to answer that question! What is the best commander card from each set, on a budget? What are the commander sleepers?

What is Commander:
Commander, officially recognized on June 17, 2011, originated from a format called EDH (Elder Dragon Highlander-- there can only be one). The first time we played EDH was around 2009. It is easily the best way to play Magic: The Gathering. The idea was to have a casual format with 100 cards and only a single copy of any one card, with a General: a singular Legendary Creature card in its own zone that can be cast any time, once you have the mana for it. If your general is removed, it goes up by a casting cost of 2 for each time it is removed. Once WOTC officially recognized the format and printed the first Commander product, your General was instead called your Commander and instead of the format being called EDH, it instead became recognized as Commander. If you ever hear anyone say EDH, they are talking about Commander. Make sure to know the cards that are banned in the format before building your deck (listed below).

Yeah. Finally the sleeper series is back.

[baranpourtahmaseb-sasi]

I personally loved exploring this set when I got back into magic (a break from tempest to onslaught), and was impressed by the seemingly counterintuitive design alot of the cards had. Great to see a video dedicated to a generally dismissed set!

[billymack]

these are my favorite videos of yours! thank you for these, i love weird old jank and making my playgroup confused. great stuff!!!

[diegolee]

As always great video guys, keep the sleeper serie coming.

[danielzitnik]

Wow I didn't realize Prophecy had so many staples! There's Rhystic Study of course. And all the other ones. I'm glad you guys had a thorough list!

[timothyvandenberg]

LOVE this series! Thank you! Keep it going! QUESTION: Are you guys going to go back to the earlier sets you skipped over? You sort of started in the middle of the early days. Alliances? Ice Age? The Dark? Legends? Antiquities? Arabian Nights? Dare we even say Fallen Empires or Homelands??? If there's only a couple cards worthy of talking about per set, you could combine videos together into one, like say an Alliances & Ice Age & Homelands video, or a Legends, Dark, Fallen Empires video, etc.

[mtgfieldguide]

Woohoo! Spoiler season is fun, but I'm glad to see this series continue.

[Badassest]

I didnt realize there was so many good sleeper cards in this set, still have my pits of rath from tempest sleeper series😁 i also preordered ikoria booster box from card kingdom and a few singles i didnt want to hunt for- jegantha, colossification, ozolith and a few others. I wil try to pick up a few CB from my LGS if they ever open or answer the phone. Sucks waiting til may 15th for shipping but i can wait. I'm still hopeful for you to get your godzilla jake!

[dragonballtalk]

The theme song needs a remix. The same song to keep the flavor, but just a little tweek to keep it current.
