As people have pointed out, Gaddock does not stop the creatures I mentioned. That's what I get for going off script! I thought I had forgotten to include them, but I was right not to.
By my quick count, it has 13 PT/MC/Worlds top 8s and 27 GP top 8s for 53 points, which should be enough, unless its double red casting cost excludes it for some reason.
Oh wow. I mention it once and suddenly it's done, but I ask for Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9) and still haven't got my wish. I see your game Nizzahon. I've gotta be *sneaky* then.
Have you considered top 10 lists for for bears, squires, hill giants and the like with strict mana cost structure? For example a top 10 bear list that only contains cards costing 1 generic mana and 1 colored mana, or top 10 hill giants costing exactly 3 generic mana and 1 colored mana? The reason I'm asking is that it doesn't seem like a completely intuitive comparison for me to the original namesakes (grizzly bear, hill giant etc) if you include multi color cards or double/triple mana symbol cards, as they naturally would have a lot more identities that the text boxes need to bolster compared to say grizzly bear that was only a sjngle mana into green. I would be interested to see what the list would look like if we only tracked how a specific mana cost structure evolved over the years.
Duskwatch recruiter is my absolute favourite. God card. The discount helps cast spells to transform and the mana sink helps not cast spells to also transform.
As someone who loves bears (the animal), I wonder what a Top 10 Bear creature type would look like. Pretty barren, since I'd guess only Werebear, Bearscape, and maybe Flaxen Intruder would have points?
I am genuinely surprised that none of the top 5 have a single point in Vintage. Except for Ooze they have all been staples in Fish at one point or another. Has Fish just never actually been very good in Vintage? Also, I did not realize how big Containment Priest was in Vintage. Half of it's points are in the format.
Bears are generally fairly low power, only a few seeing any play in eternal formats. Speaking of eternal formats, how about a top 10 vintage cards (include power 9)?
@@NizzahonMagic Ah, right. I just looked it up and it used to be a term for 2/2 vanillas but now some people refer it to mean any 2/2 creature. But, technically, the MTG slang term "bear" refers to a vanilla 2/2 creature.
I don't think "technically" is the word you want there. Maybe "originally," but these days people use it for any two mana 2/2, and some even call cards like Thalia a bear!
Next year they'll print a blue 2/2 for 1U with "When this card enters the battlefield, gain control of target permanent opponent controls. Draw 3 cards." Afterwards, someone in R&D will still say "you know what, simic needs more help."
Blue can't get a 2/2 for 1U! It'd have to be smaller and have an option to make up the difference, something like a 2/1 with "At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top card of your library. You may reveal that card. If an instant or sorcery card is revealed this way, transform Totally Reasonable Small Blue Creature into a 5/4 with Flying." Then it'll be totally in line with blue's identity of having bad creatures, right? Call it Spelunker of Hidden Lore, very mage-science-y and thus fits the color pie perfectly. Honest answer is that I actually didn't realize they still didn't have a monoblue bear yet, are they still trying to pretend blue doesn't get efficient creatures? Why even bother, who is it fooling?

It would be interesting to see a top 10 on 2/1 for 2. Thalia, bob, snap, young pyro and many more multi formats all star
What would green's power piker be? Lotus Cobra?
colorless for revoker
This is a friggin powerdul list
This list is weird cause Thalia is considered a hatebear mostly
Snapcaster mage
"The voice has had a bit of a resurgence lately". Nice one :D
Was literally about to comment that
what a sick man, why would anyone do that
7:28 Unless I'm missing something, Gaddock Teeg shouldn't be able to hose Hangerback Walker or Walking Ballista since they're creatures.
Go Giants Causeway! You are correct that it doesn’t hose those cards(although it tends to hose the decks they are in)
Yep. I am wrong.

Yeah! I want to root for my boy Werebear and his dad joke flavor text!
@Explain the fun away My boy Werebear would be eligible for that list too.
I doubt there are five bear cards with points let alone ten
“Which bear is best?”
Ben Liegner bear beets battlestar galactica
idk why but I kinda refuse to believe that Eidolon of the Great Revel isn't on the list

It's a 3/2
If you could be a Bear while costing RR, then "Blue doesn't get Bears" would be literally untrue since as far back as Alpha.
@@djmasterruski that’s not true
The slide for Voice of Resurgence says " otal Score: 63" 4:10
Yeah, it's got 63 otals which if you don't know anything about otals is very good.
The glaring otal is very impressive.
Wait what, I was sure that Eidolon of the Great Revel would be on the list. How many points does it have?
"The Voice has had a bit of a resurgence lately" 4:36
I see what you did there.
I knew Servant of the Conduit and Longtusk Cub were heavily played back then but to actually see how they rank here is a surprise.
“Containment Priest ... has never been printed in a standard legal set”
heh.
Aw I thought this was the creature type bear.
I like the top 10 *slang* list. Bear, cantrip, Tim, maybe more list like that? Great video.

Where's my Queen, Ayula, Queen Among Bears?
Ayula deserves at least an honorable mention.
gaddock teeg does not hate on walking ballista :)
Wild mongrel!!! Hmm. White Knight, black knight, can't think of any other bears. 🐻
Voice of Resurgence getting played against my Bant Spirits Pioneer deck is devastating.
How many points did eidolon of the great revel have?
Read the title as top 10 beards. Please do one for that too
How many points did Leonin Arbiter get :o
Duskwatch recruiter is my absolute favourite. God card.

I dont think intruder has points. But Grizzly Bears and Caller of the Claw do. And Phantasmal Bear. But yeah thats it.
@@NizzahonMagic I forgot about Caller of the Claw!
4:47 lmao “otal score”
A bit sad not to see Eidolon of the Great Revel making the list! :(
Aren't we missing colorless one drop top 10 for the one drop cycle? 😀
And at number 1 we have Bomat Courier
Meddling Mage is such a sweet card 👌
Would Ranger Class, a 2-mana enchantment that puts a 2/2 wolf into play, count as a bear?
Definitely do Pikers
You seem to cover all the necessities here :)
what's a 1 mana 1/1 called?
One drop
"The voice has had a bit of a resurgence"
Grizzly Bear, the sweetness 🤩
The best bear is ikoras chunky wolfbear, and your point system is nothing compared to chunk!
Sadly, Lord of Atlantis and Master of the Pearl Trident didn't make the list.
Thank you for excluding 2 mana 2/1's. I hate it when people call those 'bears'
Please do a Top10 on Goblin Heros or Hill Giants next 😁 (3cmc 2/2s)(4cmc 3/3s)(but I'm sure you know that 😁)
Nobody calls them Goblin Heroes. They are Grey Ogres.
@@NizzahonMagic never heard of him. I just remember your story about how u thought Goblin Hero is a good card xD
Hatebear, o my god, worst and best joke ever simultaneously
Containment priest is being printed into standard wooo
still waiting for top 10 Fallen Empires and Homeland haha
There's a lot of cats for a list about bears :P
quick top ten sideboard coards. only count sideboard points
Teeg doesn’t stop Ballista or Hangarback - “non-creature spells”.
Where's wild mongrel?
He has 40 points
What about a top ten most hated cards. The top five spots are probably just going to be Lurrus though.
Containment Priest is coming in M21.
Do MTG Top 10: Twinks next. plz tnx u
When it said top 10 bears I was expecting something else
Ma boi grim flayer is in the list!!! But not as high as I hope it would be.
(talking about Bears)
(Graham would like to know your location)
Meddling Mage?
Edit:
I forgot about the ooze!!!!
Da Bears
Top 10 Bears (hairy gay men) when?!?!
Garruk and Giddeon can wrestle for number one.
I am genuinely surprised that none of the top 5 have a single point in Vintage. Except for Ooze they have all been staples in Fish at one point or another. Has Fish just never actually been very good in Vintage?
Also, I did not realize how big Containment Priest was in Vintage. Half of it's points are in the format.
I personally feel like a bear is a 1 colorless and a green casting cost. Never the less nice video!
"Top 10 real myth flavor cards not in Arabian Nights"
I thought bears had to have 1 generic mana as part of their cost. Am I crazy?
Some have a definition that strict, but not me
I hoped that Emmara would make the list, bzt then I saw that #10 has 43 points.
Actually, from a stats radical, aesthetic radical viewpoint, Lightning Bolt is the best Bear.
Day 12 of asking for top ten basic lands.
Graham liked that
Top 10 0/13's next
