It’s kinda funny to think the last time Green was a dominant color in standard, it was when Wilderness reclamation was stunting on said standard format and Eldraine just dumped a bunch of the best green cards ever.
@@zackestin1368well yes that’s part of my point, I was pointing at the peak of the dominating run green would have. The snow removal extended thing but it’s not even close to how broken some of the MONO green cards were around 2019. Like besides shit like Uro, Oko, escape into the wilds, Growth spiral, emergent ultimatum Wilderness reclamation, Nissa, veil of summer, Questing and love struck beast, Once upon a time, Ram through in Ikoria. It’s insane how green broke the game in this time period.
Eddymoney crab is like Take me home tonight because I have two tickets to paradise and I want to walk on water or I'll be shakin'. So gimme some water.
The issue with scrap shooter in Commander is that it only triggers if cast, not any ETB. So it doesn’t work if reanimated, cheated into play, or most importantly blinked. Reclamation sage is better for more than just creature type.
I think Seth saw the word "murk" in "Eddymurk" and just mentally replaced "murk" with "muddy," but his slight accent makes it sound like "Eddymoney" and so thats what Im calling it from now on.
Lifegain is a deck already in standard. I’ve been running it, and it has preformed well. It will be very good after rotation because of all the new Aggro stuff
For Caregiver's Talent, notice you can trigger it again OUTSIDE your turn. I can trigger Tocasia's Welcome and Welcoming Vampire on every turn in my Kambal EDH deck and this is on the same level as them in terms of card draw, but then it actually gives me a combat anthemn and a copy of some chunkier token? This card is crazy.
Took me a few days of spoilers but now I’m in love with this set. A bit powercreepy with toooo many abilities here and there. But fun and sweet cards with sweet art!!
The Raccoon's even better in Commander, imho, since you don't have to promise the gift to the person whose thing you're blowing up. "Okay, I can blow up Bob's [Blank], and give you a card, but you have to do X. Deal?" As to Caregiver's Talent, a part of me wants to make a Selesnya deck now, just for the mid to late game potential of massive card draw off of a suicidal Goldvein Hydra. Cruelclaw's Heist, and Cruelclaw himself are probably both great in Rakdos Outlaws, too.
Unfortunately I don't think the goldvein hydra plan works--caregivers talent gives you a card when one OR MORE tokens enter, and the treasures from goldvein all enter at the same time, so you just get one card off them and not a card for each treasure.
Azure Beastbinder seems especially solid as a hate card for planeswalkers. It’s hard to block, so it’s good at chipping in damage, AND it disables loyalty abilities, meaning it can prevent a planeswalker from gaining loyalty. Unfortunately it’s pretty bad at hating on The One Ring, because they just activate in response, and now they get the card draw without the burden damage
So as far as all of the cards we have seen, in my opinion it strongly seems like bats are going to be the best tribal overall, and will definently see play even after bloomburrow dust settles. Which sucks because ive been preparing and building pieces around green/white tokens for rabbits lol. But who knows ill try and keep my hopes up that tokens will finally be viable this time around 😆
I think Spellgyre was worth discussing instead of relegating it to "Draft Chaff". The card draw mode is close to on-rate by itself, and it can be a +1mana Cancel if required as well.
Cruelclaw's Heist with Sheoldred or Orcish Bowmasters. Sure, take the card. I'll get something from your hand while also killing an X/1 and doing 2 damage.
Cruelclaw's Heist doesn't *really* Thoughtseize the top card of their deck - as once they've drawn that card (creating the set of cards you can discard from), they have a new card on top. The whole pain of not being able to Thoughtseize the top card is more about it not being able to do anything to prevent lucky topdecks (like the "Thoughtseize bug", where players always seem to draw the card that was Thoughtseized away).
So the Commander element to Cruelclaw Heist that the person you're stealing from does NOT need to be the person promised a gift, makes it so you can steal from the rich while giving to the poor as it were, he might not be Robin Hood, but he can damn well make the impression Gift also has massive political play potential for a lot of these, because the Gift is not given unless the spell resolves, so you can entice people into not countering you, or even protecting your plays possibly, by promising gifts
I wonder if wraths need to have a limiter on destroying nontokens or up to a certain number (without targeting) in order for token decks to not get rolled
As someone who still plays reclamation in modern, I'm legitimately looking at some number of otter talents, since 6 mana is honestly not that big of a deal and I'm already overloaded with instants to trigger it Also, Eddy Murkury. That is all
Caregiver is going right into my Sun's Glory deck. It'll replace that artifact. Besides making an extra Rebel, not sure what the level 2 will do. But 1st and 3rd are great
Question, after re-reading the Gift effect, the Gift effect goes onto the stack, and after that effect resolves, the second effect triggers. Will this allow players to counter the 2nd effect with Counterspell? Or would it only be counterable with stifle-based effects?
The gift-mechanic is basically: choose between 2 modes-> the gift-mode and the non-gift mode. Gift itself doesn't go on the stack, you choose to use the gift-mode while casting the spell
Surely Cruelclaw's Heist is in the main deck of ANY deck that can manage the color requirements. I don't know how many you can fit, but surely some number. This card does such a good job of mitigating the downside of discard spells, in that you're taking cards out of their hand but not progressing your board. This let's you take away their best card then turn around and use it. People are going to be even more scared of sandbagging a valuable card like an Atraxa or a Sheoldred for fear that you take it and use it against them.
I think it's bad. To get the cast you have to let them draw a card, so you're spending a card & your turn to take their best card but you're also replacing that card. Then sure you can cast that card but you still have to spend the mana & it probably doesn't work as well in your deck as it would have worked in there's. The tempo hit seems way too nasty for 60 card competitive.
In standard there's so many good green drops with reach it's refreshing, I play mono green on Arena and people almost always forget about my creature having reach.
I feel like green needs some new staple mechanics introduced, it's getting a lot of good cards right now but almost all of them just come down to making big creatures really quickly, which although is "classic" green, it's also incredibly one dimensional.
While it does seize the top of their deck, theyre going to top deck another card, so not quite to the point of "seize the top." Also, it costs 2 and loses card advantage. Still a crazy strong card. Wanna play this in edh
I am hoping we get a good gift card for discard decks, I find my cards dead when the opponent is left playing to the top deck and this mech would solve that.
Its a 3 mana 4/4 with Reach which is pretty above rate, and its a good main deck artifact and enchantment hate card since if you dont have a good target you dont give them the card
Azure Beastbinder turns artifacts, and planeswalkers into 2/2 creatures. It also shuts off all their abilities. Turning difficult to interact with card types into a very killable 2/2 creature is low-key really good? Turning off 3feri/pithing needle/chalice of the void or any other hate card is also really, really good?
It doesn't turn those into creatures, it just turns off their abilities. If it targets a creature it turns it into a 2/2, but artifacts and planeswalkers just lose their abilities while still staying as artifacts or planeswalkers.
** important question for the culture **: is Bloombarrow Wizards attempt to furry bait? Are they into this Peter Rabbit type stuff? They're animals doing human stuff but they don't seem horny. These are the difficult questions I ponder.
I saw a video of a predatory bird trying to swoop on an innocent sea otter. It became chicken dinner for the savvy otter. I've been a fan of the creature type ever since.
New Case? Wake up Seth is no longer Karlov Manor!
The Case of the Confused Caretaker
He’s still traumatized from that set, give him a break y’all
EDDDYMONEY CRAB IN THE HOUUUUSE
Take me home tonight, I don't wanna let you go until we pinch at night.
... EddyMONEY? How do you get that from Eddymurk?
yeah i had to replay that part to make sure i wasn't hearing things
Doesn't matter that's his name now.
Cool that it taps two creatures...perhaps he distracts them by giving them Two Tickets to Paradise?
I read it as Eddie Murphy Crab when I first saw it. But I like Seth's Eddie Money Crab too lol.
Eddy Money Crab has two tickets to paradise. Won't you pack your bags and leave tonight?
Perhaps a nod to the amazing music artist...
✌️😎👍
Eddy Money crab be like:

It’s kinda funny to think the last time Green was a dominant color in standard, it was when Wilderness reclamation was stunting on said standard format and Eldraine just dumped a bunch of the best green cards ever.
Uh, snow green in kaldheim?
Literally uro is after that?

The random dialectic misread are so damn charming. Kinda wish Seth went with the Eddie Murphy crab

Or he just saw the r as an n and the k as a y and read it as Eddiemuny
That crab just wants you to "🎵 Take it home tonight 🎵"
Lifegain is a deck already in standard. I’ve been running it, and it has preformed well. It will be very good after rotation because of all the new Aggro stuff
As a fellow lifegain player i hope so, but the lynx and another card from duskmourn makes me skeptical.

The obvious synergy is Tithe, but it is a really, really strong synergy.
Took me a few days of spoilers but now I’m in love with this set.
A bit powercreepy with toooo many abilities here and there. But fun and sweet cards with sweet art!!
Another bonus on Cruelclaw's Heist is that even if you don't gift it exiles, which can be very helpful against some decks.
The gecko is a great discard outlet for reanimating things deck and draw in red. I like it
It's easy to see that some of these cards will be easy 10$ or 15$ making them into 40$ to 60$ sets if you want 4 of them.
The Raccoon's even better in Commander, imho, since you don't have to promise the gift to the person whose thing you're blowing up. "Okay, I can blow up Bob's [Blank], and give you a card, but you have to do X. Deal?"

Essence channeler and the Dark confident bat work together
Nana-nana-nana-nana
Nana-nana-nana-nana
Bat plan!
i think a subtle detail of Essence Channeler is its last ability referring to "its counters" which iirc is new formatting for cards
Which is about time really. Given all the keyword counters we got from Ikoria then shield from Cappena and now finality ones as well
I believe they started using that back in Strixhaven, right?
As someone who still plays reclamation in modern, I'm legitimately looking at some number of otter talents, since 6 mana is honestly not that big of a deal and I'm already overloaded with instants to trigger it
Also, Eddy Murkury. That is all
As a Limited devotee, I'm always a bit offended by Seth's derogatory use of "draft chaff" in every spoiler video...

Gift is essentially Kicker, except you reward your opponent rather than pay a cost.

Caregiver talent is probably going to make dollmaker and three blind mice pretty great in alchemy

Honestly forgetting about having reach with the new giant symbol is almost impressive
"Scared of Mono Blue be a thing afert rotation"

I feel like green needs some new staple mechanics introduced, it's getting a lot of good cards right now but almost all of them just come down to making big creatures really quickly, which although is "classic" green, it's also incredibly one dimensional.
cthe new thoughtsieze I think has legacy potential to get through braintatorm protection
If you make a token of the class it can Clone itself for Enchantment etbs lol
If Frogs are playable in standard then maybe I'll venture into standard for the first time. Here's hoping
The scrap shooter might see a ton of play in standard if the synthesizer deck takes off
It seems likely that there will be rats in the horror themed set.
While it does seize the top of their deck, theyre going to top deck another card, so not quite to the point of "seize the top." Also, it costs 2 and loses card advantage. Still a crazy strong card. Wanna play this in edh
Really curious if an Izzet Prowess or an Izzet Otters aggro deck will emerge.
In my opinion Rec Sage isn’t the standard in commander anymore. (Outside of blink and Elves) So Scrap Shooter isn’t an option for me.
There's a timestamp missing for the otter class
Anyone else get sad when Seth says "In the world of LOOOWER rarity" because you know the video is ending :(
stormchaser's talent is like the 1 drop that enters with a clue for this set? except it is ... worse?
Is there a rare land cycle for this set? Or no. Not sure if i missed it
Scrap Shooter is probably more comparable to Gemrazer from Ikoria:LoB
Reduce the cost of flame vessel gecko and you get a ritual

Isn’t fell strictly better than go for the throat?
It's sorcery speed, so no
Wait is Eddy a money crab, or is it eddy money's crab?😂
**high pitched voice** "WE ALSO GOT-"
Shooter seems like a weird rare. Why the draw back of a gift to destroy
Its a 3 mana 4/4 with Reach which is pretty above rate, and its a good main deck artifact and enchantment hate card since if you dont have a good target you dont give them the card
Calling it rtn cruelclaw's heist is straight up busted
