the way prof delivers "Spoilers: It's Urza!" has made it one of the funniest things I've heard all year. And it's only three short words! Bravo Professor, bravo.

I don't play Bearforce 1, but it always makes me so happy to see it get support.

On the topic of white card draw, Loran of the Third path is phenomenal. For 2W, it's a 2/1 vigilance, which destroys an artifact or enchantment on ETB, and has "tap: you and target opponent draw a card", which is great value and can be used for politics easily in EDH.

Demolition Field is a fixed Field of Ruin which doesn't ramp the other two players, and thus will probably find its way into any deck with less than 4 colors.

Titania's Command is a sorcery that can put into play ANY two lands from your library, exile a graveyard and gain life equal to the number of exiled cards, or even pump all your creatures by two +1/+1 counters.

Calamity's Wake exiles ALL graveyards and prevents noncreature spells for the turn, as an instant for 1W.

The Stasis Coffin is an annoying case. 3 mana artifact with "2, tap: exile it, you gain protection from everything until your next turn". It's not gamebreaker, especially since you have to cast it first and so opponents will see it coming, but the fact that it's colorless and gives you protections from everything bothers me, as if it ends up being better than we imagine, it'll just be an easy auto-include in every single deck.

Portal to Phyrexia seems like a pretty good card in any deck based around artifacts or with way to cheat permanents into play. Each opponent sacrificing three creatures can reduce to nothing a lot of boards, and reanimating from any graveyard every upkeep seems especially good.

Finally Myrel, Shield of Argive, is a really good card. It might not be in a lot of 99's, but its static ability is really good and it basically replaces Adeline as commander, and adds well in any deck that has it already. It especially shines in decks like Isshin, or decks that naturally have an amount of soldiers.

Nice video as always Prof ! There's a lot to unpack for this set, and the flavor of it is really well executed too. Speaking of which, will you make lore-based videos, or do you reserve that for other content creators ?

That one mana artifact insect that activates for G to destroy an artifact or enchantment is gonna be great.

[drunkgerbil]

Personally I think the White Reclamation Sage is super useful and underrated.

[joshuapardee]

You're at Summit and still creating videos while there! Such amazing work ethic to bring your desk setup with you! 😁 I'll definitely be buying singles on these cards! The dryad land card looks so fun to try.

As someone who plays against a lot of decks that play with their graveyards to cast their creatures, Calamity's Wake is pretty incredible. 1(w), instant speed, exile all graveyards and silence noncreature spells for that turn? I love it.

• Brotherhood's End: Good versatile boardwipe, I'm expecting it to show up in cEDH.
• Sardian Avenger: Anti-artifact card, also anti-Dockside.
• Meticulous Excavation: Dockside combo piece.
• Calamity's Wake: Good way to stop a player from winning (almost a second Silence)

[dudeman]

With the crazy amount of product and product fatigue, these videos are great for a TLDR approach. Thanks, Prof!

[ElliotCoen]

Dear professor, you assume I can afford to buy cards right now! 😢

[markoramius]

Gix is going straight into my Breena, the Demagogue deck. An amazing way to encourage my opponents to attack each other more!

[tommygilfert]

Prof, good picks, love the uncommon hulking metamorph for my Braids, Conjurer Adept deck. But I want to make a very public PSA about rootpath purifier, I think that card is nuts.

[sitapollo]

I'm surprised Diabolic Intent didn't make the list. Must be because it's a reprint. But I'm glad I haven't picked up the battlebond printing yet, now I can probably just get one playing limited.

[matthewcartermusic]

I really like Brotherhood's End.

1RR - Sorcery
Choose One --
•Brotherhood's End deals 3 damage to each creature and each planeswalker
•Destroy all artifacts with mana value 3 or less.

Also... Portal to Phyrexia is so good in a graveyard recursion deck that uses spells that return target permanent from your graveyard to play. Popping that thing out early in any graveyard deck is SO good.

[DevoidGoat]

Interesting thing to note about the prototype mechanic is if you "flicker" the creature it enters as the 7/7 side :)

So you can cast it for 4mana (enters as a 3/3) and copy something (preferably with an etb ) then flicker it ( for like 1 mana) and copy something else getting another etb or different abilities but entering as a 7/7 :V

You spend 5 mana for 2 etbs and a 7/7 :)

[jkattack]

I'm super hyped about awaken the woods for my titania deck. Making a bunch of lands that can die easily is super cool and I love how flexible it is.

[Awesomedude]

4:38 you can pair Tocasia's Welcome with Skrelv's Hive from All Will Be One if you want to guarantee that card draw every turn

I really enjoyed this video. My brother from another mother and I recently got into commander after playing years of modern and tabletop. He's a green mage and I'm a blue mage. I was grinning with the blue hate and simic is my favorite combination after starting out with a rakdos pirate starter deck. (Red and black are my 2 favorite colors) Was looking forward to brother's war, and after watching this I want to look into fitting some of these cards after I just built a mono blue commander deck

[AndrewHimself]

The Temporal Anchor seems really cool to me. Combining card selection and card advantage in a way that feels very blue. And in the right niche decks (e.g. Elminster, or Siani), it could provide a lot of value.
