Counterpoint! People often refer to the gem in an engagement ring as a “rock”. Gems and Crystals should be in B-tier at least. My personal ranking would be S-tier: actual factual rocks A-Tier: objects that are clearly made out of stone, maybe some gems or crystals if they’re lucky B-Tier: other gems & crystals C-Tier: objects made out of mostly metal D-tier: objects made out of organic materials (Heraldic Banner, Black Lotus)
@@deadPan-c Rocks are almost always inorganic, as organic means living and rocks are not alive nor do they come from living organisms the way wood comes from trees.
@@brainbraynbryan8984In some contexts things made primarily of carbon and oxygen and hydrogen are iirc called “organic” regardless of whether it came from a living thing? But other than like, graphite or coal, I think this wouldn’t apply to many rocks, so mostly moot.
@@deadPan-c rocks are literally the stereotype of inorganic chemistry. The only organic gems are Amber (fossilized tree sap), Pearl (which is created inside mollusks), and Jet (polished coal, which is compressed ancient plants)
For the record, some gems are rocks. "Gem" is not really a geologist term unless you are specifically looking to sell them as such. An example would be obsidian, which has been fitted into jewellery before and yet is both a rock and a glass, not a sigular mineral like diamond.
@ Well why didn’t he say white/blue? (Also, where does it say that the card is white? I don’t see a mana cost? Is it the diagonal blue and white circle?)
@@drdca8263 because it didn't fit the joke. (yes, that circle is called a 'color indicator', and it defines the color of cards that don't have a mana cost.)
@@drdca8263 huh, I thought your original post was a joke pretending to misunderstand what he was saying. He meant 'white' in terms of skin colour/race, not in game terms.

Didn't cover Vexing Puzzlebox, Component Pouch, or Treasure Tokens. Literally unwatchable (lmao). I would argue that despite not being rocks themselves, the Component pouch can contain rocks, such as those that would be used for the Magic Stone spell in DnD, and while neither are really rocks, they make you touch the best kind of rocks: Dice. The shiny rocks that go click-clack of the TTRPG community. (Plus Component pouch is like, pretty good. 45% of the time [Assuming no advantage mechanics] you make about 2 mana every 2 turns, which is about standard, but 55% of the time you make 4 mana every 3 turns. It is about 1.183 mana per turn and that is without dice modifiers. Plus if you have a dice roll deck it is very useful.)
So technically the old white dude just outs the rocks in his eyes so the gem stones are still there that said I agree with your placement cause urza is a peice of crap

PLENTY of people have opened a commander sphere before, there's a card in it
And as we all know cards are not rocks
@@deangeloenriquez1603 Unless you draw a mana rock card
@@ninjanyan1579 fair enough sometimes the card depicts a rock so yeah commander sphere has earned its current rank
Well now you gotta rank mana dorks on whether or not they are dorks, or are actual cool.
Mountain:
is a rock
makes mana

@@egg5802
Those are sediments
@@oscarguzman3017 Actually, wouldnt a mountain be a LOT of rocks, not just one?
semms like overcompensating to me.... B tier.
Best argument ab absurdum. The Mountain is the ultimate mana rock.
@@oscarguzman3017 what are sediments, but a mixture of rocks? Mountains are this same thing. By this, saying a mountain is a rock implies that any quantity of sand or gravel is also a rock.
so the tldr is this sucks because manarocks should actually be called managems
Gems and rocks can both be called minerals so we should call them manarals

Perfect

I haven’t watched the video yet, but if fellwar STONE, and mind STONE aren’t in S tier I’m gonna freak
Edit: IM GONNA FREAK
what if instead of mind stone it was freak stone and it tried to be a crystal
I was three minutes into trying to figure out the best mana rocks until i read the title...
Mind Stone also says "Stone", which is a rock
Mox Jet is a rock, jet is a form of lignite (the lowest rank of coal) which is a rock. You are a blasphemer
What happened to your catchphrase? "I'm an avocado talking about magic the gathering, thats pretty fricking sweet." I miss it so much!
Had no idea it was such a beloved catchphrase! I’ll bring it back!
@@QuipsAndGuac 🙌 Epic!
You going to rate mana dorks based on how much of a dork they are next?
My playgroup is gonna be so confused when i start saying mana gems
They're all Mana Minerals.
The irencrag is a rock with sword stuck in it, never turns into a sword, rock is still there, loses it power somehow tho.
man this video really rocked
Corrupted Grafstone isn't on the list because you get the mana from the ghosts, and not the rock.
4:25 Why does he keep calling Urza white? Isn’t Urza blue?
The Urza in question is UW. White as well as blue, so not wrong.
@ Well why didn’t he say white/blue?

can you please make a judge dredd Commander Deck
My 2 current favorite hobbies are Rockhounding and MTG. So… Fantastic video! 😂
Man, my brother's favorite hobby is, sadly, houndrocking. He's in jail now.
Gems? Gems are outrageous. Truly, truly, truly... ...Outrageous. - Taric ♥
Hmmmmmmm Make a Yoda deck you must
-hedron
combining form
in nouns denoting geometric solids having a specified number of plane faces.
"decahedron"
denoting geometric solids having faces of a specified shape.
"rhombohedron"
Also, I always thought commander's sphere looked like one of those potpourri holding spheres. I don't know if they have an official name like "potpourridrhals".
Finally, Meteorite is at the top of a tier list! Roxanne would be so proud
Old white guys are fossils which are rocks unless they are dinosaurs. Idk maybe a B tier for being a gem which becomes more of a rock
fossils have to be dead tho and i dont think that old white guy is dead. im not a mtg expert tho so perhaps im wrong
Arcane signet I might have put in B, because it's jewelry and colloquially known as a rock. But only barely.
The most famous art for arcane signet is of it on a person's finger. From that, we can assume it is a ring. Same tier as Sol Ring.
Doing gods work out here
I think RUclips content is responsible for me hating semantics
Can we get mana dorks rated
Imagine posting this tierlist without the context into some reddit page or whatever and watch people have a meltdown
In defense of dreamstone hedron: hedrons were formed by Naihiri, the Lithomancer, i.e. a stone mage, very much a rock!
Meteorite is a top tier hilarious mana rock, and very rocky
2:27 buddy wait until you hear what pyramids are made out of
GEMS ARE ROCKS STOP THIS BLATANT MISINFORMATION
A ROCK IS A NATURALLY OCCURING MINERAL OR COMBINATION OF MINERALS

Make two decks comunism and capitalism
It's not a proper tier list if you don't have an existential crisis at the end of it.
What I want to know is, if you cast something like Titanic Growth on a Birds of Paradise, does that make it a mana roc?
Hey hey hey, Urza isnt just any old white guy, he is THE old white guy.
if I think about rocks, can thought vessel have B tier instead of C tier?
Quips&Guac it would totally rock if you made a Lebron James EDH deck tech ❤
Love this lmao
Making plenty of assumptions here. Like for example, I for one *did not in fact know that old white guys aren’t rocks.
Great vid, this rocks.
P.S. you should make a Men In Black themed deck
How is cragflame not a rock? Its likely made from a crag which is by definition a rock cliff
You missed Grim Monolith.
worn powerstone is clearly a rock.
Basalt Monolith translated = Rock rock

it's not just a boulder its a rock
If your truly an avocado making videos on magic like you claim to be, than make a magic deck based on Avocados
I'd rather have Everflowing Chalice than the Holy Grail to be frank
whens mana paper and mana scissors?? wotc explain urselves... .
Avocado pls make a video about frieren deck pls
Perfect teir list
Wasn’t the original Sol Ring just like a rock on fire?
Thanks for taking magic the noahs old place, bro only does the game shows now hanst posted anything mtg related in forever
half a rock is still a rock! it's just smaller than it used to be!
Bruh, gems are literally rocks
Wait old white guys aren’t rocks 😅
+1 Karma
So technically the old white dude just outs the rocks in his eyes so the gem stones are still there that said I agree with your placement cause urza is a peice of crap
where's 90% of the other manarocks 😡
I misread this as Manga rocks
fuck wait, since when are signs not rocks???
This is such a stupid premise.
I'm in.
I have a huge mana rock .. ill send you a pic
Now this is rock bottom MTG content.
