    Your shorts are so popular, and rightfully so because they are well done and usually hilarious, but these long form videos blow them out of the water. It’s hard to imagine the amount of effort put into them. It was after I watched your “best card from each set” video that I realized I needed to binge watch your whole channel.

    Um, actually whales do NOT blow out water out of their blowholes. Rather they exhale through them when submerged causing a cascade of water to erupt if they are close to the surface. Their exhaled breath is by the way one of the most disgusting smells in the world (that I have experienced) smelling of months old crayfish, shrimp, and plankton.
    Great vidoe BTW. I really like your long form content so I decided to post this for some great whale fact points as well as a boost in the algorithm.

    I am surprised no mention of how recently WOTC has branched out the Cleric colour pie; Clerics were once only White or Black now they have all colours. I recently remade my EDH Cleric deck to Include Toggo (and red clerics) as one of the commanders because thematically Clerics throwing stones at my enemies is hilarious :P

    Thank you for this really important contribution to the world of EDH. I found this entertaining and informative. I found myself agreeing with you on almost every pick. I do have an issue with the exclusion of Simian Spirit Guide however. It is one of the most powerful 'fast mana' enablers in decks that can 'hang' at CEDH tables (7,8,9 and 10s) yet it is not included as an honourable mention in the Yargle section (which I understand to be a joke) even though much weaker cards are. In the Ape section you suggest that Kogla, a battlecruiser matters card that barely made a splash in standard, is better than the facilitator of turn 3 ad naus wins. That discourages optimal, sophisticated plays for splashy, inefficient ones that don't win the game.

    • @NitpickingNerds
      @NitpickingNerds  3 года назад +1

      We don’t include cEDH when we grade or judge cards. Cards good in cEDH often are not good in an average deck. That being said Simian Spirit Guide is a solid card in cEDH decks. 😊
