So sad that Wheeler died in that tragic PrePrePreRelease accident, but the unholy simulacra they made does a REALLY good job emulating them. You can hardly hear the screams of the damned emerging through the cracks in the shell!
@@zachariahhuey9876 I get your being sarcastic but for real though Urza's Saga is both a card that sees a ton of play not just in general but also in Serge's decks so it's kinda funny he still doesn't quite get it.
Actually, Serge constructed an exact 1:1 replica of the moon base at his place in Alberta, and kidnapped wheeler and nelly so he could keep his role as host.
I ADORE the addition of the Dark Ritual mana hand signal to go alongside Ancient Tomb mana's hand motion. I dunno why, but the Ancient Tomb mana thing always gets me to laugh, so I approve of more.
I was surprised that get lost wasnt part of the set review as a potentially powerful new removal spell in white. It draws a lot of similarities to fateful absence and to me at least looks like it could be better? Absence gives them a guaranteed extra card with the clue whilst the map tokens are a bit more limited in some ways. Sorcery speed means they cant hold it up to do on your end step and if they dont have a creature in play they cant crack the maps at all
Bloodletter of Aclazotz out here making Foul-Tongue Shriek do twice as much damage has me feeling a certain way. Imagine swinging with three creatures and one black open just to dome them for 6 extra out of nowhere
I do always love to hear your opinions on the viability of cards in a format that I regretfully have little opportunity to play. I think the analysis often applies to other eternal formats quite well.
One card is like to hear you guys’ opinion on is Altar of the Wretched from the commander set. It’s really hard to evaluate and has a lot of hallmarks of cards that historically haven’t been very good, but I can’t shake the feeling that it might be a bit of a sleeper for some deck
So hear me out... You got a a random merfolk and Deeproot Pilgrimage in play... and have Clever Conjurer in the yard... you play Agatha's Soul Cauldron, exile Clever Conjurer with the Cauldron, put a counter on the merfolk, giving it the "untap target permanent not named Clever Conjurer" ability. Use said ability of merfolk on itself. INFINITE HEXPROOF MERFOLKS
“201.4b If an ability of an object refers to that object by name, and an object with a different name gains that ability, each instance of the first name in the gained ability that refers to the first object by name should be treated as the second name.” I think this rule would mean the ability the cauldron would gain would be “Untap target permanent not named -CARDNAME HERE-”. Still has potential, if you had 2 merfolk it would work. Kiora’s Follower has “tap: Untap another target permanent” and is a merfolk itself, so it could also do this wiith the soul caldron or really any clone.
@quinnbreit-nicholson454 nah, i tried this in Arena. With Magda, which is has a +1/+1 counter and is not summoning sick, it can target itself to generate infinite treasures. I have been running this in Historic Ranked, trying to find ways to consistently do this coz there is a line where I can use Magda's search ability to put Dragonspark Reactor into play, then do the infinite treasures trick to trigger Dragonspark Reactor's charge counter ability a bunch of times then sac it for lethal when it has enough counters on it.
Just curious. Why no love for Black, Black / white or Vampires? I dunno if its just my deck but I seem to do great against a lot of midrange decks. You guys just talking like TOP TEIR decks? If so, I think I get it. To slow?
@bwheelermtg yes im tagging you for this cause im OFFENDED that you guys, specifically you, didnt talk about the Blue God. Temur Spells LOVES that card, and its interaction with Adventure cards is hilarious For those who dont know: Ojer Pakpatiq says if you would cast an instant from your hand, it gains rebound. The interaction with Adventure cards (Those being instants {brazen borrower, Twinning Twins, Bonecrusher, etc etc}) is that if you choose to rebound the adventure card instead of putting it into the "On the Adventure" "zone", when you would cast it from exile as it comes off of rebound, you can choose to cast it as either the adventure or the creature, and if you choose the former, it goes on ANOTHER adventure and you get to cast it as a creature still
It's a 4 mana Legendary creature without an ETB that dies to Bolt, and there's not enough good adventures to make a dedicated singleton deck out of it, so I would be surprised if they did that about it. It's a pretty bad card tbh
There has never been a vampire bat printed before. The only card that is both a bat and a vampire is Screeching Bat, which transforms into Stalking Vampire, and neither side has both creature types.
"Tier 1.5" is just a polite way to say "not Tier 1". Just make it Tier 2 and move everything else down, since there are so many decks at "1.5" they are very much their own category now
Dredge has enough options for big dumb beaters already, Fiend Artisan is way better than Souls of the Lost. Tarrian's Journal might be playable in dredge, for much-needed ramp and the ability to access the from-hand-only creatures that are in the GY. Bitter Triumph has me the most excited for dredge. Frustrating as that is for intuitive deckbuilding, I find the games I win are ones where I have removal in my opening 10 cards that go to my hand before the millfest starts. Something that can hit planeswalkers is very good.
I ran Kutzil's Flanker in my prerelease deck and was able to discover into it, which I then cast and exiled the descend player's entire graveyard. Won the game shortly after that.
Artifact lands, moxen, itself and the token, some random tokens you have or a cheap artifact/creature. While I don’t think it’s free to flip, the floor is high enough that that’s okay, especially if your deck can put it into play multiple times, like with a welder.

So nice of WotC to honor him with the upcoming Suffering Simulacron card 😊
I told him not to ignore that white hand behind his back

It's my favorite returning mechanic! Serge!
A wild Serge has appeared
Glad to see he's getting some time out of the shadow zone
The premier serge pilot of the format
@@ScornfulEg0tistPremier Surge pilot of the format, Serge?
I think this is the third, maybe fourth time on camera Serge has misunderstood Urza’s Saga’s tutor ability.
It’s gotta be more I feel like everytime they talk about that card or it’s played he misunderstands it lol
He needs to know all of the rules by heart✨
@@zachariahhuey9876 I get your being sarcastic but for real though Urza's Saga is both a card that sees a ton of play not just in general but also in Serge's decks so it's kinda funny he still doesn't quite get it.
Wheeler still traumatized from Alex Darkblasting his catlander deck into oblivion 😂😂
I would be too it happened every game lmao
Wow, LRR did a good job greenscreening Serge into the moonbase set. You can barely tell he was recorded remotely at a different time! ;)
Actually, Serge constructed an exact 1:1 replica of the moon base at his place in Alberta, and kidnapped wheeler and nelly so he could keep his role as host.
Yeah, really is such a shame that he’s never going to be back in Victoria.

Nelson, I know you probably don't read comments, but I just wanted to say that I've always genuinely loved your no beard with mustache look.
I'm now waiting for the inevitable Canlander Calisthenics video featuring movements like "Ancient Tomb Mana" and "Dark Ritual Mana."

Get lost will be very good, at least in D&T, definitely a big miss as imo it’s one of the only good cards in the set.

Excellent, as always. Thank you.
Wheeler Egg-splaining made my evening
Im glad Surge came back from the death to come on the podcast
Passed out watching Beejlander woke up to North 100. Gonna be a good day.
It's a SERGE!

Little too expensive and a bit of a win-more card.
Wow, Serge is back! Time flies.... 😅
would it be possible to show the front and back of double sided cards while you are talking about them?
My favorite set review show is back!
I do enjoy how Nelson is borrowing Wheelers mustache.
Kinda surprised they didn't talk about Get Lost
I wish we had a north 100 pod for commander
From the first card (charismatic connoisseur), I knew that I would like this set
is it ever possible that Bloodletter of Aclazotz could be in the same deck as Aether vial? Is that too cute?
The strength of mono black is that it doesn't need the vial, though.
Good episode. Any chance of input on drwho?
Any cards from the Doctor Who decks worth talking about? I don't know if you have enough for a whole set review, but River Song at least seems good
Not really. Maybe a couple of niches cards that’ll get covered in a recap episode

I don't play canlander but this is the only set review I really watch, love it
You really should it’s a fun format
Babe, wake up. North 100 did the latest set review!
OMG SERGE SERGE SERGE SERGE
All I can think of is souls of the lost and eggs. Sacrifice eggs to draw cards which are permanence and make a big dude
What exactly is Wheeler doing in the thumbnail, is he mimicking a card?
I’m pretty sure he’s being a Merfolk!
Fish face
'Stacheless Wheeler... dark times indeed!
There has never been a vampire bat printed before. The only card that is both a bat and a vampire is Screeching Bat, which transforms into Stalking Vampire, and neither side has both creature types.
I think he was talking about the literally card vampire bats thinking it had both types
Get Lost is maybe the best card in the set curious how it got lost in this episode.
Weird. Card is good
White has more than enough removal and that’s a lot of value in return for your opponent. It’s basically a dead card in any matchup with creatures.
I think Get Lost is better than fateful absence by a mile and a bunch of the better low color white decks play that one.
Played Get Lost in my prerelease and it felt good if l killed my op's only creature but felt real bad the game that l was behind
"Tier 1.5" is just a polite way to say "not Tier 1". Just make it Tier 2 and move everything else down, since there are so many decks at "1.5" they are very much their own category now
I think what they mean by 1.5 is it’s so close to 1. yea it’s still in tier 2 but 2 or 3 more solid cards printed it would be tier 1.
Let's goooo
Dredge has enough options for big dumb beaters already, Fiend Artisan is way better than Souls of the Lost.
Tarrian's Journal might be playable in dredge, for much-needed ramp and the ability to access the from-hand-only creatures that are in the GY.

No love for Get Lost? From play experience it feels way better than Fateful Absence
Serge!
SERGE HYPE!!!
TECHNICALLY bloodletter of alcazotz is a vampire... although it is triple black. does it get in vamps?
so like, does Evil Wheeler not have a moustache?
North 100 merch please
The name's "Benthicblossom".
I ran Kutzil's Flanker in my prerelease deck and was able to discover into it, which I then cast and exiled the descend player's entire graveyard. Won the game shortly after that.
I really just wanted to say A
wow, wheeler has got to be at least a 15 on the number of countenance-years gained and lost via facial hair scale. probably a 20, maybe even a 25.
A
Thousand Moons Smithy's requirement doesn't seem that easy to assemble

5 creatures and/or artifacts? By itself it gives you two.
I can see this thing flipping pretty consistently on turn 3 or 4 in the UW/jeskai artifact midrange decks
I can't see Wheeler.
