You guys should make a Gisela and Bruna alter that meld into the Nitpicking Nerds as a Patreon thingy.

I like the name "Over the Top"! The trench warfare mentioned in the story for this set makes the name both a pun on it's effect, and a clever story card.

[infernotitan]

So I see Fleshgorger as at least a D. It's fantastic in specifically The Mimeoplasm, you exile it and any massive creature, and now your commander has ward of a huge life amount, and is a big beatstick. I'm super excited for it

[blackmountain]

Calamity's wake actually looks pretty good as a counter spell. Either you stop someone else from comboing off with their graveyard, or you stop them from countering your combo with non creature spells.

[LucasSkywalker]

Great video as allways guys! I was expecting this review more the the others! Cheers!

[lordast]

I just really like this set, I think its really cool story-wise, and a lot of the creatures are cool looking

[Gweezy]

I'm surprised you guys didnt talk about the psuedo silence ability on calamity's wake. I think thats the more power effect on the card.

[GrZandona]

The fact that Artifact Offering gives the Blast-Furnace Hellkite flash is amazing, doubling the damage during an opponent combat step and setting up your own swing for next turn.

My baby was born today and I get to catch a NPN video while she sleeps, life’s good 🖤🖤

[SuperFlamingTomato]

I like this set a lot for showing the differences between commander and 2 player formats like standard and modern and such, because Phyrexian Fleshgorger is probably going to be very good in something like Pioneer and Standard, but you two are completely right in saying that it's quite average (outside of very unique synergies) in commander.

[ChaunchoCYM]

Loran's Escape? Probably a Feather only card but it feels quite powerful for the deck.

Thanks for the content, you guys have brought me back into the game after a few months hiatus!

[isaacwalton]

I love your set reviews and I'd like to listen to them on my commute! Have you thought about dropping audio versions on a podcast platform?

[jensschlafen]

Hey Joe Cherries and Beezy, I really enjoy y'all's content and dynamic! Keep it up!

[theabrandt]

Just something that I think makes fleshgorger/other protype cards more interesting: if you blink or flicker them, they're going to come back as their big boy versions. Definitely niche, but seems like a fun thing to do, and I'm definitely gonna try to do something janky with them.

[Momo_pstat]

I think calamitys wake is fine, but in mono white decks for cedh, it seems like another silence for spell slinger decks. It isnt as effective, but having a second silence aint a bad idea

[quantum]

I like putting the grade at the start in the center with the NN in the background, looks really nice

[rascalqueen]

Scholar of New Horizons lets you remove a counter from any permanent you control. That means ramping off Planeswalkers that can easily generate loyalty, it lets you abuse things like Undying/Persist, and it lets you constantly reset Sagas before they sac themselves, letting you repeat whatever Saga effect your deck wants most. I think it's way over a D, there's a ton of ways to make removing a counter from ANY permanent good.

[isocity-info]

Legions to the ashes is a combination of vindicate and maelstrom pulse, which can blow up a bunch of tokens. Token permanent copies was worded because of the multiplayer aspect to not destroy all
sol rings for example.

[samwillis]

Usually don’t comment, but I will say you guys have some great content! Keep up the great work

[calebjones]

What do y’all think about bushwhack? I ordered like 4 of them bc it is either prey upon or the equivalent of a tapped land for turn
