      Hi professor, I'm a long time fan of your channel, i usually don't comment on RUclips videos, but since i felt personally impacted by this i thought i should say something, i would like to know if you could address the fact that before the September ban announcement the Rules Committee had the habit of informing the player base when certain cards could be banned in a near future(A.K.A. putting said cards on the watch list), previously cards like Tergrid, God of Fright and Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines were placed on the watch list even though they weren't banned, and as far as i know they always informed the community when they decided to put a card on the watch list(even though some times they banned cards before the card could be put on the list, like Lutri, the Spellchaser), i don't have a problem with cards like Dockside Extortionist or Nadu, Winged Wisdom being banned from the format, because even though i don't agree with that decision, at least they informed the community that the cards were being watched closely and could be banned from the format, now, what i do have a problem with is the fact that mana crypt and jeweled lotus weren't put on the watch list(or if they were the RC simply didn't informed the community about it) before they were banned, even though according to the RC themselves they were talking with WOTC about banning these cards for more than a year, i don't think this is fair to the community, the reasons they gave to the ban of jeweled lotus were true since the card was printed, and mana crypt was a known factor for more than a decade at this point, if they spent this last year talking with WOTC about banning these cards, why not inform to everyone that the cards were in the watch list? this caused people(like myself) to spend a good amount of time saving money to acquire staples of the format without knowing that said staples could get banned, and this destroys the confidence the player base has on the RC, because now there's the precedent that any card could end up being banned from the format without prior warning that the cards are problematic, so why save money to buy expensive cardboard if we don't trust they will stay legal in the format? rhystic study is a expensive staple of the format, and it could easily be banned without any warning, same applies to cards like Smothering Tithe, cyclonic rift or The One Ring
      i spent the last year saving money everywhere i could to buy a mana crypt(in my country one copy cost's around the monthly minimal wage) for my mono red deck, the card is in the mail and i was unable to play a single game with the card because of that, and i know that there are a lot of players like myself that don't have a lot of money and because of that wouldn't have bought the card if they knew the card was on the watch list, or at least would have sold their card as soon as the Rules Committee were to put those cards on the watch list, because we don't treat cards as an investment, we buy cards to play the game.

      In their last video, Jake and Joel are magic said they were informed of the banning a month ago (implying they were tipped off to get rid of their supply). In the RC comment on why they did what they did, the RC said they knew they were going to do this for about a year. So basically, while we were being aggressively pushed on J-lo and crypt as the chase cards (respectfully) for Commander Masters and Caverns of Ixalan, the RC knew we were chasing lemons... I believe in participating in the financial health of the games I like, but if at any second on a random Monday in September this can happen, why bother? Why bother buying any chase card? Moving forward, I might as well just proxy everything to avoid this from ever happening to me again. Thats the message I feel this decision sends... Please cover this in Fridays video. Thanks

    7:56 common misunderstanding on this card: the additional beginning phase happens "after this phase", so after the second main phase. This means you still untap all your lands, but you can only spend it on instant speed spells since your main phases will have passed by the time the additional beginning phase triggers. Still a sweet card in some decks!

Now there may be some personnel overlap and not all of the team members may be familiar with Magic.

      If every card or almost every card total is worth way more than the secret lair by itself. Like 5 fetch lands back when they went for 50 bucks a pop in a 30 dollar secret lair.

      Ice cold take incoming: MtG is not, never was, and never will be a valid "investment", and any "investors" or "collectors" fully deserve to get blown the f out as often as possible.
      It is a _game,_ a _hobby,_ meant to be _played,_ not bought up and sat on by uninformed idiots that think 5 minutes of googling and watching a couple youtube videos means they somehow know how to handle their finances better than people whose careers are financial management and investment.

    Feels weird to correct the Professor but Sphinx of the Second Sun gives you an additional beginning phase after your second main phase. It's worded weirdly but the trigger goes on at the beginning of your second main phase and gives you a beginning phase AFTER that phase.

    I can practically guarantee the Miku bonus card will be another walker reskin for MEIKO. I am utterly baffled as to why they made KAITO a Jace, instead of... a Kaito? Like hello?
    They messed up this Sphinx of the Second Sun: it has the now reversed errata on it, the errata Wizards walked back on after huge backlash from players. (the backlash was mostly centered on Neheb, but it applied to all 11 cards that say "postcombat main phase")
    Also worth mentioning that this Koma printing is misprinted: it says "at the beginning of _your_ upkeep" instead of the actually correct "at the beginning of _each_ upkeep"

    Hi professor, I'm a long time fan of your channel, i usually don't comment on RUclips videos, but since i felt personally impacted by this i thought i should say something, i would like to know if you could address the fact that before the September ban announcement the Rules Committee had the habit of informing the player base when certain cards could be banned in a near future(A.K.A. putting said cards on the watch list), previously cards like Tergrid, God of Fright and Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines were placed on the watch list even though they weren't banned, and as far as i know they always informed the community when they decided to put a card on the watch list(even though some times they banned cards before the card could be put on the list, like Lutri, the Spellchaser), i don't have a problem with cards like Dockside Extortionist or Nadu, Winged Wisdom being banned from the format, because even though i don't agree with that decision, at least they informed the community that the cards were being watched closely and could be banned from the format, now, what i do have a problem with is the fact that mana crypt and jeweled lotus weren't put on the watch list(or if they were the RC simply didn't informed the community about it) before they were banned, even though according to the RC themselves they were talking with WOTC about banning these cards for more than a year, i don't think this is fair to the community, the reasons they gave to the ban of jeweled lotus were true since the card was printed, and mana crypt was a known factor for more than a decade at this point, if they spent this last year talking with WOTC about banning these cards, why not inform to everyone that the cards were in the watch list? this caused people(like myself) to spend a good amount of time saving money to acquire staples of the format without knowing that said staples could get banned, and this destroys the confidence the player base has on the RC, because now there's the precedent that any card could end up being banned from the format without prior warning that the cards are problematic, so why save money to buy expensive cardboard if we don't trust they will stay legal in the format? rhystic study is a expensive staple of the format, and it could easily be banned without any warning, same applies to cards like Smothering Tithe, cyclonic rift or The One Ring
    i spent the last year saving money everywhere i could to buy a mana crypt(in my country one copy cost's around the monthly minimal wage) for my mono red deck, the card is in the mail and i was unable to play a single game with the card because of that, and i know that there are a lot of players like myself that don't have a lot of money and because of that wouldn't have bought the card if they knew the card was on the watch list, or at least would have sold their card as soon as the Rules Committee were to put those cards on the watch list, because we don't treat cards as an investment, we buy cards to play the game.
    i apologize if i committed any grammatical error or if i sound like a cave man, English isn't my first language

      i agree that they burning the trust the community have on them is bad, since the only thing giving the RC legitimacy is the fact that the player base give them legitimacy, if they break our trust, WOTC could end up taking over the format, and i don't know how good that would be

    I definitely prefer this model. Even if we can't see the high quality images, it's helpful to get that financial breakdown before considering a purchase. I ended up doing that work myself for the last SLD because the video wasn't out yet but I knew Karlach would sell out, and let me say, it's an annoying amount of work! I appreciate what goes into these videos all the more now!
