26:12 you don't have to flash stuff into play to trigger its ability. You could cast a spell with flash when you could cast a sorcery and it would still trigger.
I havn't played Ikoria. However it looks interesting. The creature design is cool. The part that would be most interesting for me is the Simic one. It is one of my favorite guild. The whole set does what Simic does best. Take creatures and evolve them in wierd and wonderful ways. The Simic part of the set has mutate mechanic. That sounds fun. The idea of five big creature with Klans of Tarkir color combos is really cool.
3 color wedges are going to be more common than in previous standard set drafts. There's a lotta support for it. Evolving wilds, dual common lands, uncommon tri color mana rocks, mana dorks and of course the TRIOMES!!! Definitely more mana fixing if Green is one of your colors but still doable with Jeskai and Mardu!
@@NizzahonMagic I never said you didn't say as much. Was just sharing an idea with people to remember that 3 color is something to consider for competitive edge or for fun. :)
Rare case, but if you’ve got a creature with trample as well as a creature with both trample AND first strike while Quartzwood Crasher is on your board, you will get two different Dinosaur tokens when you do damage with those creatures
Light of hope is the best 1 mana card I have seen so far in magic. Opened a whole box of draft boosters and got only 2- though one of them was a foil. It even sells far above the margin for a common.
The greater number of enemy color gold cards means it's always a worse proposition to be in an allied color pair going into packs 2 and 3. You are 3x more likely to see enemy colored signposts than allied color.
As for certain 3 color combos which the set supports, would you suggest just combing the differ arc types in that color identity and just lean toward one synergy or the other? Or would you say there are other different arc types that exist at the 3 color level?
my question is where the monster on the boxart in the ikoria set? like most creatures in Ikoria are cats or nightmares or both. but i wanted the big monster on the boxart with the upside down horns and stuff. WOTC ripped me off.
nvmffs the cards from the commander decks and the buy a box promo are the only ones I am aware of. Thankfully the commander cards have their own set symbol.
Aren’t the things that grant a keyword worse in the archetype? Because you will have a lot of other creatures that already have it, so it grants it a lot less?
Whaaaa? The simic color pair has the most support in a set around mutations? Who could’ve predicted this happening? To be fair, I’m so glad Wotc is looking out for the weakest color pair.

True enough
Thank you for the videos, can't wait to play some draft tomorrow!

If every wedge had its own mechanic, this would be Khans 2.0
I feel like I said as much.

Was waiting for this. Keep up the good work, love the limited content!

This was a great video. Thank you so much for all your effort. Great prep for the prerelease
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cast Hunted Nightmare and then steal the creature that got the deathtouch counter with Tentative Connection lol. Brutal.
And there are multiple ways to sac creatures in the set
Light of hope is the best 1 mana card I have seen so far in magic.
Opened a whole box of draft boosters and got only 2- though one of them was a foil.
It even sells far above the margin for a common.
The other Human payoffs are in the mardu commander deck 🤣
How can you create so much good content in so little time! I love you, keep it up! :)
Thank you so much for this vid! I was getting slammed in draft on this set.

Nizzahon: Narset’s +1and -6 care about you...slight pause (me: awweeeee)...casting non creature spells. Me: 😢😭 I hate quarantine life.
The internet sure "cares" about Narset as well.....
@@tygonmaster Narset can give me rebound any day
Clear. Concise. Well done.

I love my Simic mutate deck, best colors in the set IMO
I'm skipping this set but just want to thank you for all your hard work. Your tips have helped me a lot in the past.
my question is where the monster on the boxart in the ikoria set? like most creatures in Ikoria are cats or nightmares or both. but i wanted the big monster on the boxart with the upside down horns and stuff. WOTC ripped me off.
It's Gemrazer, the rare green beast creature
There's 3 human token generators in orzhov, one in uncommon that's a cycling payoff and two in common !!
Just in time for some Ikoria on arena!
Thanks for the review.
Guys, does anybody know if there's any "not-in-boosters" cards in Ikoria? I know planeswalker decks have been discontinued but what about the rest?
nvmffs the cards from the commander decks and the buy a box promo are the only ones I am aware of. Thankfully the commander cards have their own set symbol.
I think there are not enough commons for the graveyard recursion thing, most are uncommons and rarers, and their CMC is too expensive.
All the beefy creatures with Cycling will make it work.
Aren’t the things that grant a keyword worse in the archetype? Because you will have a lot of other creatures that already have it, so it grants it a lot less?
but they also have the ability to make all those creatures better with their activated ability
why is blue green getting MORE great support please?
Thank you
You're welcome
can someone tell me the outro tune? please?
How do you order pairs?
Whaaaa? The simic color pair has the most support in a set around mutations? Who could’ve predicted this happening? To be fair, I’m so glad Wotc is looking out for the weakest color pair.
Simic is the weakest color pair?

It's so f*ing good.
love youur video! thx

Can you Companion in limited?
Yes if you fulfill the requirements of the card.
Draft draft draft draft draft
woooo
Black green is graveyard base me; duh its golgari
Sometimes, in some sets, rakdos does the GY better. Just in this case golgari is the GY party. Sometimes though, it is tokens and whatnot.
@@tygonmaster In Dominaria, it was Saproling aristocrats :D
If you mutate under a card, does it gain summoning sickness? I assume mutation on top will have summoning sickness.
Nope! Mutate is basically pseudo-haste for big creatures. No summoning sickness on the top or bottom.
Hunted Nightmare is going to be huge in this format mark my words
Time stamps?
Rey Cj That would be awfully kind of you, thanks!
2nd
I tried the blue/white flyers. It's horrible. Don't waste your time.
Yes, one draft is enough to draw this conclusion.
Played UW Flyers first draft. 14 flyers is hard to answer. Only loss was to a really tuned Boris Cycling deck. I did have Yorion in the main.
Speed 1.25
A flash deck
Cunning nightbonder and slitherwisp combo really good in a flash deck.
