    It's kinda cool that you can end up taking the card you promised with Cruelclaw's Heist, since they draw before the spell resolves. I think that's how it works, anyway.

    • @dreamsalongthepath7377
      @dreamsalongthepath7377 Месяц назад +9

      That is how it works, which is kinda insane

    • @samsprague3158
      @samsprague3158 Месяц назад +5

      Yeah it does work like that. Also, this might be a weird take, but sometimes dedicated discard decks seem to “over discard” if you know what I mean, so you stop getting value from your cards because opponent’s hand is empty. And Heist allows you to feed them more cards, just to make them discard again. Like, imagine you have Liliana out, and opp has one card in hand, and you draw Heist. You gift a card then immediately get rid of both while getting their card, filthy.

    • @DamienRowley
      @DamienRowley Месяц назад

      @samsprague3158 As a Waste Not Player, I am all too familiar with the over-discard issue that arises. Geier Reach Sanitarium helps. While this exiles and doesn't trigger WN, I might test it out, or at least build a Standard variant with this.

    • @tinfoilslacks3750
      @tinfoilslacks3750 Месяц назад

      ​@@samsprague3158That's only an issue if your discard deck needs to continuously discard the opponent's cards to trigger effects and make progress. Your opponent having no cards in hand should be enormously advantageous even if you still have extra discard cards remaining, since you have even more discard to use immediately once they get another card in hand. An opponent with 0 cards in hand while you've got 2 discard effects either in hand or on board effectively has -2 cards in hand unless they're instants/flash. Plus standard has plenty of cards that benefit from your opponent's hand being empty for any reason, like Aclazotz and now Rottenmouth Viper.

    • @Muhahahahaz
      @Muhahahahaz Месяц назад +1

      Not before, but during, yes…
      During resolution, they draw the card first, then you do the other stuff

  • @PinchHitHero
    @PinchHitHero Месяц назад +21

    One thing about Cruelclaw's Heist is that if you gift them a card, that card *could* be the one you end up exiling. They draw before the effect occurs.
    So, worst case, you can just take the best card rather than what might work best for you. Not as ideal as turning their cards against them, but it's not a terrible trade to make.

  • @MattyIce213
    @MattyIce213 Месяц назад +10

    One thing to note about Azure Beastbinder is that its a Rogue as well as a Rat, which means its an outlaw and benefits from the "outlaw matters" stuff from Thunder Junction. Also its attack ability targets and thus counts as committing a crime, so it can be a repeatable crime enabler for stuff like Vadmir or Magda. It might have a home in some sort of Dimir/Grixis Outlaw/crime deck.

    • @AJZesty
      @AJZesty Месяц назад

  • @skotosman
    @skotosman Месяц назад +3

    Also of note with Cruelclaw's Heist, if you topdeck it late game and they have no cards, you are really just drawing a card off the top of their deck for 2 mana.

  • @1stclasswarior
    @1stclasswarior Месяц назад +8

    You missed something on Eddymurk Crab, in my opinion. Yes, it's technically a downside that the creature comes in tapped if you flash it in on your opponent's turn. You can make the argument that it can't block, which is rough.
    However, you tap down 2 creatures. If you flash it in before your opponent declares attackers, you take two of those out of the fight. In a weird, roundabout way, you can say Eddymurk Crab blocked 2 creatures, since it prevented them from attacking. I think this is why it does enter tapped - because if it didn't you could effectively block 3 creatures from the hand at instant speed, which is nuts, and probably came up in playtesting and they had to add the line of text later in development. Preventing attacks from two creatures is enough, in my opinion, and I think that's very valuable to help turn the corner against creature-based decks.
    The card has potential.

    • @SBMTG
      @SBMTG  Месяц назад +5

      That's what I meant by tempo. I too believe that it coming in tapped is a negligible downside and you will most often cast it on your opponent's turn

  • @kenniron6313
    @kenniron6313 Месяц назад +4

    Aside from typing, the Beastbinder looks like an incredibly good card on curve in 1v1’s. It repeatedly nullifies their best card on the table, where the target can be switched, its almost always a free swing, can still block in return, and forces the question to your opponent: would you rather remove a 1/3 removal/tempo piece or would you rather remove the threat to your life total? Which, if they’re in that situation, you’re doing pretty good for yourself.

  • @harrison1735
    @harrison1735 Месяц назад +5

    Stormchaser’s Talent is almost exactly the kind of card I’ve been wishing they’d print for a while. It’s a one-mana prowess creature that is also a noncreature spell that triggers prowess. Perfect glue for an archetype that sometimes suffers from drawing the wrong half of its deck because it can play double duty as an enabler and a payoff. I only wish the token was also a wizard.

    Azure Beastbinder is a whole lot of words for a card that kind of loses to any number of 2 mana creatures that simply say "unblockable" and are 1/1.
    If you use it wrong.
    If you want to use it right (in limited), you're playing it alongside damage and -x/-x based removal that would otherwise not be able to kill, say a 6/6.

    Can't really make a badger commander deck (or even a 60 card deck, unless I want to use Rock Badger).
    Just feels like 5-7 cards in the set got wasted creature types by not having a couple more.

    Like, Bloomburrow if it came out during Lorwynn era, turns it into a bunch of hybrid cards and a bunch of the spells become tribal spells. Or Bloomburrow as if it it came out instead of Arabian Nights, turn all the cards into inefficient oneswith very underpowered creatures (because I think it would be funny to go from Bloomburrow small creatures, to Legends when they started bringing out bigger creatures).
    Or remaking Homelands now and updating the cards so they are competetive with Bloomburrow power levels and use some of the same mechanics. Could see the gift mechanic working well with the green faeries for example.

    There's a trap with these green cards: We always go nuts over 4/4 creatures for 3 with upside. Except we forget that other colours also easily get 4 power creatures for 3 mana but they achieve them through synergy. And those creatures have even higher upside than the minor upside on the Raccoon.
    Wizards still thinks that just being +1/+1 smaller than green cards, means that creatures in other colours can get massively more powerful abilities. But this is a trap. Furthermore, WotC also makes exceptions for sonme black and white cards and randomly pushes their stats (see for example Maha, Beza, and Sheoldred). Doing this invalidates green's advantage entirely. What's the point of having ''big creatures'' if the most pushed creatures in other colours also just get to have the same powerful stats, but they also get to have a much more powerful ability because they're, what, not-green?
    If WotC is serious about helping green without pushing the creature's abilities, we need 4 mana 7/7 creatures, or 5 mana 10/10 tramplers. That, or give them more powerful, synergystic abilities.

    This will be some terrible years in standard with all the black discard decks. Extremely annoying and boring to play against, but black crimes will be the new rogues yeaaa. The problem is they will force you into top deck mode so it's extremely uninteresting and no skill plays...

    I see that the 3 year rotation has card designers hugging their legs in fear. A boring set that asks you to play a game in more than 5 turns assembling your army of little creatures, which has to compete with the wide variety of table cleaners and lightspeed win decks.
