I was impressed by oblivious bookworm. Not only gives card advantage in manifest dread strategies, it also works great in reanimation and delirium decks. Never underestimate the power of a free loot every end step.
I think the Rooms are like adventures. You ideally want both the creature and the adventure but are happy to just have one if you are pressed for what you can cast. So far the floor for these Rooms looks decent and you can construct Standard and EDH decks around these modal enchantments.
Screaming nemisis is really good. I was playing against it. I had a way to exile it, but then the opponent attacked it themselves and then because it deals damage when its destroyed, I still couldn't gain life. So if you're playing a lifegain deck, you can play it and kill it yourself, and their entire strategy is sunk.
one more plus for Unidentified Hovership: it's not actually a creature, so creature removal doesn't do it. it's not hard to remove an artifact, but avoiding the main form of removal people carry is, imho, a plus.
This set highly incentivizes you to play cards with artifact(edit) removal which a lot of cards have the option of destroying/exiling both enchantments and artifacts. It's a good card to have in some decks that can use the crew ability but it's going to fall short vs a lot of other decks like control/combo/mill/room type strategies.
sure sure but creature removal is still a lot more common than any other kind, and this evades that. so against GOOD players, yah not a big deal. but against MOST players, i think it matters.
@@mjhenkel1984 Assuming your going to be playing against a majority of not so "good" players is your first fatal mistake. Underestimating the amount of artifact/enchantment removal from the meta in general could end in poor results. I promise you, especially in B03, enchantment/artifact removal has and will be even more of a major inclusion.
@@matthewmarshall5234 alright look at it this way then: let em spend their removal on it, Hovership still ate their card. they aren't getting it back either way, it's not an O-ring. more like a delayed Chaos Warp.
@@mjhenkel1984 I'm not dog'ing you or the hovership, but imo, it's just okay, like I said it's good in a "survival" type deck or other blink decks maybe but at the end of the day it only hits creatures with 5 or less toughness, its sorcery speed, and if it does leave the field your opponent gets some value back. It reminds players and myself of Skyclave Apparition, but the thing that made it so good was it could hit any nonland permanent with value 4 or less which made it much much more versitile.
Love your videos and content keep it up especially watching you play arena makes me miss playing and might try arena but having no cards or money have no idea how to get into arena with people who have all the cards is intmidating
First time I saw unstoppable slasher I took a screenshot of my monitor and sent it to my friend and I said holy shit, so I was surprised it was in your and devs list of top 10 overrated magic cards for this set, and those dual lands are insane I can't imagine ever not using them if I played :(
It‘s so nice that you streamers have the meta all figured out and published before we can even have a first look at the cards. Great strategy from Wizards of the Coast. Can‘t wait to play against all the optimized streamer decks which kill all home brewing 🤣
Trust me, we definitely don't have it figured it. And if the last couple of seasons are any example , there's still plenty of room for innovation. We've had new decks popping up practically weekly until the last couple of weeks of the season.
Weird take. Vast majority of streamers are just average players (no shade towards dragon) just homebrewing stuff that is entertaining to watch. The “optimized” decks aren’t even worth putting on UA-cam until after some big tournament, cause most casual players aren’t interested in watching domain but with one new card. If anything, playing against all of these unoptimized streamer decks is one of the only ways your goofy homebrews can win games.
@@johnscherer5686 Streamers are NOT average players. It‘s their job to play every day. They have access to all cards. They get access in advance. How can this be average?
@@snapshot79 I’m sure PowrDragn would be the first to admit he is not some incredible pro level magic player. He’s a content creator. People watch him because he makes cool content and is a cool dude. The same is true with most if not all Arena streamers. If you think CGB is closer to Reid Duke’s skill level than he is to any Diamond level arena player you are incorrect. And as far as early access we are talking about a single day where everything they do is streamed live, not exactly some huge advantage they have over anyone else.
I cant see a scnerio where you play thrun over this. You dont even have to play delrium yo play the wurm. Control is on the rise and a hasty 5/5 is better

The t-shirt looks awesome and I love the use of old set fonts for the letters!!

I hope tear Asunder is on that list of cards that get better with duskmourn. Haven't seen it yet. I will watch it after this
I love how all the lands have thematic and similar flavor text
Unstoppable slasher is my type of card.

While not overpowered Razorkin Needlehead was surprisingly good in a lot of the rakdos decks along side Sheoldred, chainsaw etc.
I picked up three hoverships in one draft for some reason. Wasn't disappointed 🙃
Thanks for the video I’m getting back into magic
Welcome back!
Screaming nemesis also hard counters glissa. I got my play-set today

I thing can be good and still be overrated. 😉
FOMO is obviously also fun to build with vigilance creatures if you’re going Boros

@@snapshot79 I will admit “average” is unfair. Above average sure, but nowhere close to pro level.
love this
Screaming nemesis makes creature only damage spells so much stronger in your own deck.
Oh totally, I won a game at pre-release by dealing six damage to my own nemesis to them send it to face.
@@kristiandahl1310 haha, that is great and scary
🙏

Wurm literally just gets blown up by any removal. Its draft chaff at best.
@@MetalHevdraft chaff at best hahaha you're not reading this card properly
