I'll trade you this super cool Shivan Dragon, that's never been reprinted and definitely isn't a rare in every reprint set for some reason, for that crappy Bazaar of Baghdad. It doesn't even give you mana as a land!
I prefer the new formula because it doesn't end up with "Alpha cards = #1". True, it may mean that Arabian Nights and Three Kingdoms cards top the list, but not as likely.
On the flag bearer: it's actually played more often against the enchantment based decks, forcing your opponent to enchant it instead of their own creatures
Big fan of the new format for these list videos. Much more interested in the price based lists now because this is a lot more relevant. We know old reserved list cards are expensive, but the high price of something such as Suture Priest seems a lot more relatable.
I will never not find the Sunscape Familiar being a literal castle (while the other 'scape familiars are just a mix of regular animals) incredibly funny.
I buy a lot of andom collections for my openings on my channel. This is really helpful to remind me of valuable cards like "dust to dust". Looking forward for the other colors! Thanks
A few years ago, my uncle gave me a box of magic cards that he got from one of his old roommates. It had a good amount of magic cards including a bunch of camels (close to 20). Glad to see that there's at least some value in that box thanks to those camels.
Should be noted on the #2 cards, False Defeat is Your graveyard and Riding Red Hare being a sorcery would still be fitting even by nowadays card types when Horsemanship would be best before blockers could even be declared so it being an instant would through it off plus make the 3 cmc only really an ambush combat trick after an opponent declares attackers and before you declare blockers. Which without a stop put on Arena or something to catch the game up in a sense, wouldn't that make using this eXtReMeLy narrow chance for it to be an instant really make it better? Just my thoughts and please hit the like if I'm not wrong and I'd love to hear anyone who can advocate on the opposite when learning the game is part of Magic, I started back in Invasion, and Magic is literally the world's most complicated game due to all the interactions of all the keywords over the years (another fact I'd welcome factual feedback if I'm wrong, we only get stronger as we get more wise.). But the best part is putting the pieces of the puzzle together during a game with cards to get that sweet GG from opponent when they honorably get taken down. Some of the best games I played were the long test periods I'd do with buddies before tournaments where we'd tinker a bit between rounds of sparring and only want the other to get stronger. That's the Magic I miss in the digital age (plus I spent far too much on the game when I was 18). Thank you for sitting through my TED talk, again I'd happily welcome people's constructive criticisms/feedback and how you have a good one, at least leave a comment of 1 if you got this far and I wasn't just rambling into the abyss on RUclips. :)
I think the reason Dust to Dust doesn't see more play in commander is because a pot of people don't know about it. It's a super good card and when I happened upon one I put it straight into my mono white angels deck
This list is giving me deja vu to me trying to get into pauper and my opponent having Sunscape Familiar, at least one of the Soul sisters, and Ephemerate in their deck. I was blown out of the water with my silly little jank deck
Riding Red Hare would not have been an Instant if it was printed in another set because it's meant to be the 3 Kingdoms Angelic Blessing which is a Sorcery.
The reason Dust to Dust isn't terribly popular in Commander is that while yes, you do have the targets, you don't often have two exciting targets. Hitting a mana rock, even Sol Ring, when you're trying to take out a Bolas' Citadel is like "Ok, sure, that's fine but..." You're better off with a 1 or 2 mana artifact kill spell because you only really care about one of the targets and paying an extra mana during your main phase to take out something that isn't worth the retribution you'll likely face is not a good play. A lot of the artifacts you really need to remove need to be done immediately--a Bolas' Citadel that gets a turn to work has still done a lot, so not being an instant really makes it unattractive.
Ahhh pricy cards, personally, I love 'em. Sure I can't afford 'em, but they're cool. I definitely need to get me some copies of Camel, since they're one of my favourite animals, just like how "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" is my favourite video to suggest.
2:18 Shaledred? Is that a more authentic pronunciation of “Shoel”, or was that just an error? You use the more common pronunciation of Shoeldred immediately after, so I can’t be certain if that was intentional.
“Those kinda of cards aren’t really common, anyway.” You sure about that these days? Regular foils have basically lost all of their charm now that they keep jamming new foils down our throats.
They could easily do a functional reprint of the card without issue. But they've made this effect a red one (see Trumpet Blast and like 5 other cards), so they won't do that either.
You could refine your criteria a little more and say good cards this would filter out the cards that are only expensive due to scarcity and would seem like a more useful list
Kid me was so smart to ask for a complete set of Arabian for my birthday. Still have it and I'm always amazed how much it's worth.
You lucky bastard! Wish my mum had grabbed Portal Three Kingdoms when it came out so I could have a rare and expensive collection too!

Wow that's insane!
@@cax1175I'll give you my bazaar for a near mint Teeka's Dragon, if you have one
I’ll give you tree fiddy for it.
Also, how much is it worth?
I didn't care for previous "top 10 most expensive" videos but this new formula and the focus on commons made this video interesting. 👍🏿
Exactly. It was all "This card is so expensive, it will cost you $200! Unless you buy one of the many reprints for 50 cents."
I prefer the new formula because it doesn't end up with "Alpha cards = #1". True, it may mean that Arabian Nights and Three Kingdoms cards top the list, but not as likely.
I like the change in how you look at the price for these, makes it feel more like the limiting factor for me when I deckbuild
On the flag bearer: it's actually played more often against the enchantment based decks, forcing your opponent to enchant it instead of their own creatures
It's mostly used against caw gates

Good change from OG printings. ❤
Standard Bearer is also good *against* aura decks, it forces them to target the Bearer with their auras
Wow I didn’t know those “Soul Sisters” were so expensive. Those were some of the first cards I bought online when I got back into magic.
I will never not find the Sunscape Familiar being a literal castle (while the other 'scape familiars are just a mix of regular animals) incredibly funny.
Nightscape is a zombie. But yeah pretty funny just having a literal castle
I really like the new way of determining "most expensive". Well done.
The specificity of the title hooked me
Okay?
@@TheSmartestManonEarth "never give positive feedback to the creator" got it
I liked this format, and how you combined the rare sets cards.

late for dinner is like 50cents and is a strict upgrade from false defeat
Love your new approach. Thanks for your work and take care.

Finally you changed the methodology! I really like it! Thanks for listening to the feedback!
I run a good number of these cards in my Oloro and Arcades edh decks.
I think the reason Dust to Dust doesn't see more play in commander is because a pot of people don't know about it. It's a super good card and when I happened upon one I put it straight into my mono white angels deck
Oh Standard Bearer is really cool! It's typing should become an ability for future sets.
I have a complete set of Homelands and am contemplating doing The Dark next.
This list is giving me deja vu to me trying to get into pauper and my opponent having Sunscape Familiar, at least one of the Soul sisters, and Ephemerate in their deck. I was blown out of the water with my silly little jank deck
flag bearer + changlings would be funni.
Standard Bearer is from Apocalypse.
Riding Red Hare would not have been an Instant if it was printed in another set because it's meant to be the 3 Kingdoms Angelic Blessing which is a Sorcery.
The Soul Sisters are Oloro's best friends
Those cards in the #4 slot remind me of Lunarch Veteran, but it's only $0.79. I understand why it's cheaper.
Funnily enough using the bearer against the aura deck also hoses them

What happens when a banded attacker is blocked by a banded defender? Who assigns combat damage?
Please more lists like this one for the rest of the colors !! ❤
Videos doing pretty well, so I plan to!
You miss the Acolytes. Crimson acolyte is another one 💪 i sold my playset for 20€ (22 dollars) and obsidian acolyte for more or less the same price.
I don't know when you sold them, but right now, they are around 2 bucks.
@NizzahonMagic I'm honestly surprised that Obsidian acolyte isn't pricier/seeing more play in Legacy, since D&T needs the help against Bowmasters.
Dust to Dust doesn't see play in commander because Dismantling Wave exists
Next time you talk about it, note that Enlist is the modern version of Banding
I think dust to dust doesn't see more play because Return to Dust is more versatile.
where's the early access video for the new draft format?
There isn't one. They downsized the event and I didn't make the cut. I will be posting the first draft later today, though
@@NizzahonMagic oh noes!!!!! Say it ain't so
No rat colony?
2:18 Shaledred? Is that a more authentic pronunciation of “Shoel”, or was that just an error? You use the more common pronunciation of Shoeldred immediately after, so I can’t be certain if that was intentional.
Once again, banding appears at the top of a list. Banding bros rejoice. There are dozens of us. Dozens!
“Those kinda of cards aren’t really common, anyway.”
You sure about that these days? Regular foils have basically lost all of their charm now that they keep jamming new foils down our throats.
I don't like that Pauper makes cards more expensive
kinda contravenes the premise doesnt it.
Can we get a best cards with banding list? LOL
Pauper is the best format, fight me.
To be honest with Army of Allah. I doubt that Wizards would risk getting bombed by Al-Quaeda.
They could easily do a functional reprint of the card without issue. But they've made this effect a red one (see Trumpet Blast and like 5 other cards), so they won't do that either.
Nice
Army of Allah is so weird that it's not on the offensive ban list.
You could refine your criteria a little more and say good cards this would filter out the cards that are only expensive due to scarcity and would seem like a more useful list
My soul screamed a little when he said Standard Bearer was from Planeshift...
"Card needs a reprint pretty badly."
My printer goes brrrr.... seriously, bros. Just proxy the damn things.
surprised army of allah didnt get banned
I see you’ve met my ex girlfriend..
Show us your true courage and rank the "banned for cultural insensitivity" cards
What's courageous about that?
