We'll see how it goes. It's the type of things folks ask for, but as seen today, the views aren't really there. But we're at 150 likes, so we'll see if we do one next month or not.
Bristly Bill Spine Sower, Overlord of the Hauntwoods, and Ancient Cornucopia seem to be wildly safe crafts for Green. Maybe Bill is situational but the latter two that ramp and provide other utility feel strong moving against time.
Outside of Hauntwoods in one...maybe two...of the big decks, it's not seeing a lot of play in the upper tier of decks. In ladder play it's everywhere. Cornucopia is kind of in the same boat right now. I had to draw a distinction somewhere to make the list. I also limited it to 3 to talk about so it wasn't a 2 hour video. But you never know where the meta is headed. Could be several new cards making the list next month.
I think the sleeper artifact card this set is mazemind tome. When I heard they were getting reprinted I bought like 8 of them for $.50 a piece. They are really useful for colors that struggle with card draw.
I've seen it played quite a bit. But I think in the colors that can make the most of it already have strong card draw. So that limits it a bit more than I'd like.
I don't think either are major concerns as you often arn't playing more than 2 in most decks outside of select list. At least among most of the top decks I searched. The list was mostly compiled from top lists and cards that people might not be sure about that appear in those top lists.
Cant agree with white Collectors cage. I very rarely see it in my games, or when I watch other creators matches on YT. I think there are better choices for crafting rares, like one of many removals (Sunfall, Lockdown, Leyline) or Elspeth/Beza/Errant of Eos. Also not convinced on blue- Stormchaser talent, not a fan of Otters. Id rather pick Kiora, Occulus, Tracker or Three steps, or planeswalker like Jace or Kaito. Black I agree, great choices (especially Annex, this card rocks), I will also mention Liliana and Shelly, fit almost every deck, black has really many solid cards. Red I agree, totally best cancerous cards in Standard. Slickshot is also often seen in these decks, other solid choices are Forge and Hired claw. Green I agree, but I also think that green Overlord should be here, I see it very often (ramp decks, domain decks). Also Innkeeper talent. And Nissa.
Again as stated, Collector's Cage is part of one of the top decks right now and I'm predicting it's going to played much more going forward now that people have started finding uses for it. And it's the tip of the iceberd. I also pointed out multiple times in the video that I'm steering away from recommendations of things that have less time left in Standard. Hence no Sunfall, Elspeth, Jace, etc. Stormchaser's Talent also shows up in *several* decks that aren't otters. Two of them being big tournament decks currently. Also, I used recent online and paper tournament finishes to compile the list. So, while I appreciate the comment, and you are always more than welcome to disagree, I still believe my recommendations are well researched and solid with only one choice that I was even consider speculative.

Soulstone sanctuary has won me so many games.
I hope you hit the 200, I appreciate your analysis
I always craft the commons and uncommons because when you get packs and they are full the vault fills up faster
Always cool to see what the landscape is looking like.
Love this. I'm always thinking about what I should be crafting.
I love this video n would love to see it on a monthly basis!

This was a great video! Thank you
Solid list of cards, definitely agree with it
Good idea of video, thanks for that
For colourless, sideboard and control decks want Agatha's Soul Cauldron and Ghost Vacuum. I could imagine these card will only improve with their age.
Let's go! That what we needed!
More videos like this please. 😄
How do you feel about Overlord of the Balemurk and Deadly Cover-Up as must haves. MKM is from 2024 so has plenty of time in Standard still.
I don't think either are major concerns as you often arn't playing more than 2 in most decks outside of select list. At least among most of the top decks I searched.

Not gonna lie that shirt looks sweet.
Thanks. It's available in the merch store links below the video. :)

@@PowrDragn Thats fine, I never said they arent solid, id choose just different cards in some cases, thats all.
I mostly play Mono black currently and I completely agree with Annex. My favorite card I've crafted.
Are cards like Slickshot Show Off, Terror of the Peaks, FOMO and Trumpeting Carnosaur not seeing the same level of play as the mentioned red cards?
Slickshot maybe, but not the others. At least not in the top decks Is coured.
Yes. More videos like this please.
