Hi Des, just want to say I find your channel both really hilarious and helpful. I'm an old lady who used to play kitchen table with my son and nephew 15 years ago. Thought learning to play again would be a fun retirement hobby. Wow, the game sure has changed. Thanks for helping me get back up to speed and especially for the encouragement to try Arena Beta. Tons of warm fuzzies to you.
Heaven / Earth is an awesome sideboard piece for the RG dinosaur enrage deck because it's weak to fliers and then you can pop enrage on all your creatures.
That Aerial Responder was printed in Archenemy: Nicol Bolas Also, Disallow? Hah. *Counterflux* I was also telling people Nissa was worthwhile, but nobody believed me lol
One time I was in top decking mode with two Majestic Myriarchs on the board as a pair of 4/4 vanilla creatures. My opponent swung out and put me at lethal for their next turn. That's when I drew a Samut and swung for 30. Yeah, Samut + Myriarch is fun.
Awesome picks, Des. I play cards like Vizier of the Menagerie and As Foretold in Commander because they're just that good. I also find it surprising that Oviya Pashiri hasn't seen more play in any format that comes to mind.
My boat fling deck cycles out. I'm gonna miss turn 4 killing someone with a 10/11 first strike Consulate Dreadnought that I also Fling at you. It wasn't consistent but it was funny as hell when they kill my boat, then I throw it at their faces.
Cant remember if you made a video of helm of the host. I want to hear some other ways to use it like attaching it to a creature that creates tokens when it enters the battlefield
i will miss lord of the accursed because my zombies are in standard and once rotation comes it won't be standard. i've spent money upon money on this deck. it will be missed
Mirage Mirror has found a home in commander cause nothings dumber then paying to to make your mirage mirror the strongest thing on the board so at the beginning of your up keep you get what your opponents' have and can make into the scariest thing on the board to counter the sacriest thing oh and cloning this mirror is stupid
I pulled vizier of the menagerie at my first ever pre-release (amonkhet), but didn't get any other good green cards so had to drop it (because the commander player in me didn't know what splashing was) I don't know if I want to try to sell it before it rotates or just keep it for another commander deck later on
Man, your rants are a hoot! I'm gonna miss mirage mirror the most. You can turn it into a land to dodge abraid, turn it into a creature and put a +1 counter on it to be better than anything in board... I play one in every deck. I'll also miss decoction mod, fabrication mod, aethergeode miner, and glint sleeve the most.
Hero's Downfall does the same thing as Never but it's an instant. I usually always put it in the Sideboard of my burn but I would instead use Terminate for creature removal.
I know the deck I have Majestic Myriarch in is an EDH with Jenara. I use it with Helm of the Host and powers itself up. At one point they couldn't kill it because it became a 60/60
majestic myriarch is *underappreciated* because it costs FIVE and requires you to realistically already be winning in order to have any usefulness unless you're copying rhonas or something
Um what was that blue white counter from ravinica I think it was called render silent counter target spell they can’t cast any more spells ya what more powerful then dissoaliw
I had no clue oketra's monument was called white mittens, I loved this card this and bontu's monument are in my black white vampirism commander deck and I love seeing this card. (I say vampireish because obezadet, ghost council is the commander, that's right I've got warriors, vampires, demons, ghosts, oh my)
The 3 toughness is such a weakness that in combat, it can be easily taken down and green doesn't have creature removal so it's really not that great. None of the components in green run you over decks that are going nuts lately are individually OP except Ghalta but it all comes together to be a very unfair, overpowered deck that's just too fast and too consistent. This is what happens when 8 sets are legal.
I really wish nature's way wasn't rotating soon because I built a mono green stompy deck with like 4 copies of rabid bite which is strictly worse than nature's way but still awesome.
Hey Des, they just announced a tcg called keyforge. Every deck is a random unique combo that CANT be changed apparently. I'm not sure if youll like the idea or rip it apart, but either way, I'd love to hear your opinion on it! I think it looks pretty good. (By Richard Garfield btw)
Des, Heaven // Earth is great in Omnath Commander. It deals with an opponents Flyer's and kills your own elementals to deal Damage. What it was supposed to do in Standard is anyones guess ? :-D
Disallow also gets triggered abilities. I’ll be missing it badly on rotation :(. We should see a new counterspell in rav to replace it but control looses its best counter its best card draw and its 2 finishers. Both torrential gearhulk and the scarab god both rotate out so control is dead for a little bit. Control is alwAys the best at the end of the format once all the decks have been established and you know all the threats. That way you know exactly what answers to add to your decks and what you need to counter. Hence why UW teferi and esker Teferi are insane right now. Even jeskai control was a thing last season but it seems like it’s went away quick
As Foretold or as I call it I’m casting something for free when I get to my set counted amount and it’s going to force you to get rid of that before something else I have
Yo I love your videos desolater. Your awsome and I love listening to your videos at 11at night it is so much fun too see you talk about stuff in general
I 100% disagree with bontu’s. I won a pptq bc my opponent played bontu and I had heroic intervention in hand... I won the following turn. If he has a yehennis experience I was fucked
I thought it was half an hour devoted to one card based on the title.

Awww you remind me of my friend Karen who also plays MTG :D
Heaven / Earth is an awesome sideboard piece for the RG dinosaur enrage deck because it's weak to fliers and then you can pop enrage on all your creatures.
Yep. Clear the air and wipe out your opponents presumably smaller ground creatures, leaving your big stuff.
Blossoming defense is my favorite card that's rotating
It’s toxic tho
I would like to inform you that I do not like you one bit
I miss Shadows block. It was my favorite standard block.
That Aerial Responder was printed in Archenemy: Nicol Bolas
Also, Disallow? Hah. *Counterflux*
I was also telling people Nissa was worthwhile, but nobody believed me lol
Jace Beleren my first thought was aerial responder 😑
I use disallow a lot, stops a lot of infinite combos in EDH and noone sees it coming
I love Bontu's last reckoning! Multiplayer board wipes are so much fun.
One time I was in top decking mode with two Majestic Myriarchs on the board as a pair of 4/4 vanilla creatures. My opponent swung out and put me at lethal for their next turn. That's when I drew a Samut and swung for 30. Yeah, Samut + Myriarch is fun.
Been really really busy. So glad I found time to finally watch this!
Awesome picks, Des. I play cards like Vizier of the Menagerie and As Foretold in Commander because they're just that good. I also find it surprising that Oviya Pashiri hasn't seen more play in any format that comes to mind.
See this is why I appreciate your videos Brother I played appeal in my G/W decks and it was amazing
You should do cards we won't miss in 2019/2020 (I'm new to mtg idk how these rotations work)
Ah, the thumbnails on your channel are just the best.
I'm gonna miss all of the demons in these blocks because I just built a standard version of liliana's contract
I started playing with the Challenger Decks, so yeah... I'm going to miss my whole deck
My boat fling deck cycles out. I'm gonna miss turn 4 killing someone with a 10/11 first strike Consulate Dreadnought that I also Fling at you. It wasn't consistent but it was funny as hell when they kill my boat, then I throw it at their faces.
Where is the second installment of this with the rotation of Throne of Eldraine?
Heroic intervention is what I'm gonna miss more than all the others
The set on Aerial Responder is Archenemy: Nicol Bolas
Helm of the Host gets around Mirage Mirror Legendary dilemma.
Cant remember if you made a video of helm of the host. I want to hear some other ways to use it like attaching it to a creature that creates tokens when it enters the battlefield
i will miss lord of the accursed because my zombies are in standard and once rotation comes it won't be standard. i've spent money upon money on this deck. it will be missed

Poor Ammit Eternal, poor zombies from Amonkhet and Hour Of Devastation, poor Noxious Gearhulk, poor Amonkhet gods, I will miss you all.
I'll miss Glorybringer.

why don't both halfs of split cards have the set symbol.

Man, I'm really gonna miss my fav combo. Gonti, Lord of luxury + panharmonicon.
What do you think about Vine Mare?

...I will miss Cats...
Catlord kind of sucks it finally became very competitive with m19, just in time to rotate out
Sad that the kitties lose a lot
Same I’m kinda just changing it into a life gain deck with resplendent angel
Ryan Barton
I got an awesome Idea for that!
Played out pretty well so far and with for the most part rotation proof
Admittedly I'm not big on control but hoping the reprint disallow back into standard. As it's just more interesting than a counter spell
Des, Heaven // Earth is great in Omnath Commander. It deals with an opponents Flyer's and kills your own elementals to deal Damage. What it was supposed to do in Standard is anyones guess ? :-D
Does anyone remember Void Shatter that is in my opinion one of the best counter spells ever
Yeah, I was facing a nexus deck in arena and missing thaat so badly.
I love disallow, such a nice card and I love the art as well.
Also, rip my boys Cast Out and Fumigate, too.
Keep up the awesome videos!
I use both heaven to earth in my enrage deck to kill fliers and trigger enrage.
As foretold is good in modern with living end and ancestral visions
driven//despair never had its time to shine, that card seemed pretty OP. Oh well....so long my friend
Responder is from archenemy nicol bolas
Gideon's intervention and name walking ballista. Problem solved. 😀
Disallow also gets triggered abilities. I’ll be missing it badly on rotation :(. We should see a new counterspell in rav to replace it but control looses its best counter its best card draw and its 2 finishers.

Even jeskai control was a thing last season but it seems like it’s went away quick
Heaven/Earth in a gruul Boros reckoner deck for modern would be gross!
I miss altered ego as well. I killed an opponent copying his Ulamog and milling him out. ROFL
As Foretold or as I call it I’m casting something for free when I get to my set counted amount and it’s going to force you to get rid of that before something else I have
Altered ego is so good
Yo I love your videos desolater. Your awsome and I love listening to your videos at 11at night it is so much fun too see you talk about stuff in general
I love appealing my eternalized cat
yay thank you des
Forbid has some room for debate as the best 3 mana counterspell. But Disallow is still a top shelf card.
great list
I'll miss Sweltering Suns.
I shall miss constrictor and fretwork the most 😢
I actually run a (kinda meh) jund insect tribal deck with fretwork colony
100% agree on appeal to authority.... its won me so many games
Lol six mana cost in green is still a possible turn three play.
I will cry over my disallow T_T
and glimmer of genious HA :D
Fatal Push, especially against Mono Red.
Im gonna miss Cogwork Assembler 😢
Rip disallow
I'll miss fraying sanity
RIP pouncer 🤧🤧🤧
I like the positivity haha
Ironically this entire video was extremely negative and the last two were like "yay, they're leaving!"
I 100% disagree with bontu’s. I won a pptq bc my opponent played bontu and I had heroic intervention in hand... I won the following turn. If he has a yehennis experience I was fucked
I’m sorry I LOVE Disallow
Disallow is voidslime 2.0
Hidden Stockpile
M A N A D R A I N
I havent seen your videos on my timeline. Also, I cant click the bell. FYI
Try hitting unsub then ctrl-F5 then re-sub. If you're not on a PC um....iunno lol.
Legend rule doesn't work that way..
It used to.
Lol planeswalker colony
and its like a black gideon.
hehe alter ego sure is good
this video has done nothing but upset me q.q
This vid game me a case of teh sadz too.
Hahahahaha!
Ban Mountains!
Standard is a weak, weak format if one can win with 56 lands and 4 scarab gods. (I only play modern).
Just fucking ban mountains. =)
