I love the new visual of putting the old and new grade right away instead of showing them quickly at the end.

[SpitefulAZ]

I like how he said a spell that tries to resolve with no legal targets gets countered. They used to get countered, and getting countered makes perfect sense, but now the rules say "it's removed from the stack with no effect and sent to the graveyard". We should officially call it fizzle imo.

Indeed. I was farming wins the first 3-4 days by just stabilizing against people trying to run me over. A lot of people just thought this was going to be MKM part 2...and it ain't.

[haumph]

Great breakdown. The exile on consuming ashes is tremendously powerful in this format with all the recursion and it feels fantastic killing a good 3 drop and getting the surveil 2. My biggest mistake was giving pest infestation a C and I even played it in cube!

Right or Wrong, the GOAT of Limited analysis.

[ryanrodrigues]

Being upfront when your prediction turns out to be wrong earns you way more credibility and integrity than someone who tries to convince me they’re “always right” (IMO) … the imperfect standard is the “perfect” standard … props Nizzahon for the amazing work ❤

[efroeli]

Keep doing this style of analysis, it is so helpful!

[manhattanblockade]

The bonus sheets make this format sometimes feel like a cube

[togglebott]

This limited format is way way better than I thought it would be lol

[Wojtek]

I saw Fblthp perform in the prerelease, my friend pulled it with Kellan and a bunch of good plot synergy and went 4-0. Clearly it’s not happening for people in draft mostly, I could see it being an intense build around.

[manhattanblockade]

When I saw Pest Infestation was in this set I was SCREAMING. I love it

[EpicDiscovery]

It makes me giggle that the 2 examples he gave for pest Infestation, making 5 and 7 tokens, are both impossible 😅

[titon]

Fblthp felt GREAT.... when it works.
He felt worthless when behind and if there's two lands on top he's a blank 1/1.
I once casted 3 seperate spells off the top of my library including a boucne spell desperately trying to not get killed next turn just to realise plot is sorcery speed so even if you plot an instant you can't cast it until your next turn.

Greenblade has been an absolute unit in my Bonny Pall deck. Playing around him, Seeker of Sunlight, and Nicanzil, Current Conductor in the early game while ramping into Bonny or Titan of Industry has been pretty consistent

[Tmne]

I really love to play control decks in limited, and while I could successfully do so in previous sets, my first draft of OTJ was smooth as butter. I rolled over my opponents 7-2, and the two losses were games when I got outgrinded. Definitely waiting for the shipment to draft this in paper at my local club.

[RibusPQR]

I remember videos like this where your ratings slide up or down by 1/3 or 2/3 of a grade. This set must have really surprised you.

[RowanNagy]

This format is slower than I expected and I think that's the reason for a lot of the misgrading; high-cost removal is actually really good in set this set and 4-5 mana threats seem way more important than the all-important one and two drop curving out meta of previous formats; blue also seems terrible so far and I never end up in it - red, black, white, and green all have strong removal and excellent low-rarity threats and blue just doesn't have enough of either

[jhTheMan]

This set is the most fun I’ve had drafting in a long time. Finally a format where games actually go long and have true splashy back and forth. Except for the draft where I had two Outlaws Merriments. But that isn’t an average experience lol

[justinbrett]

Rodeo Pyromancers' flavor text is very on point, if you accept that Bertram is actually completely right to label them useless.

[justinbrett]

If you happen to get the rare horse mount Gigapede becomes a way better pick, since making multiple copies of it is uh, pretty powerful
