Having watched your channel since SOI standard you have DEFINITELY been doing some of your best work ever imo Dev. This spoiler season has been incredible and this and the sleepers vid were easily the best ones ever in my opinion. I laughed and lot and was extremely engaged beginning to end!
17:32 "so like an Australian trying to relax, I can't wait to hit the vaaiiiipe" BAWHAHAHAHAHAHA bro i laughed so hard that was one of my favorites ever on this amazing channel! :)
I love how you have started standing to the side it kinda makes me feel like you are interviewing the magic cards in a news report lol. Or something like that but it does feel right having you stand like that when the cards pop up next to you.
The like and subscribe bit at the start had me laughing. I haven't watched content from your channel in a long time (years) and I see a big jump in the quality and your personality is showing way more, and I personally enjoy it. Nice work!
I hear you and your Beast from the East reference. My favorite Goosebumbs. Syr Ginger is indeed a beast. Oh the pun capacity of this set. Glad you're not pulling any punches.
Sadly lacks tribal synergy with Azorius Soldiers and White Humans, which are the only decks in Standard and Pioneer respectively that run Brutal Cathar. Though I imagine, some Azorius Control decks might want to run it. Or possibly some sort of Knight Tribal, since we had tribal support in MotM.
I just got into MtG again after 4years and i am SCREAMING for those puns n jokes tho. Your content is absolutely amazing. Looking forward to play some drafts in my store!
Dev! I've been a long time subscriber, since the Dragons of Tarkir days, and I'm going over to the Pokémon channel for ya. Even when I put mtg on hiatus, I keep up with it because of your channel. Much love, brother. Take care.
I've been watching your videos for the past few weeks and realized, just now, that I wasn't even subscribed to ya! I've fixed that little snafu. Seriously great content, dude. I appreciate your commentary and your sleeping kitty!
Totally looking forward to B/x decks main boarding two shellys but running 2-3 of the tutor and just using blood tokens for the bargain effect. Yes im still salty they didnt ban the most broken four drop since questing beast
I love Kellan, Fey Blooded for Commander (and he's showing up elsewhere) - you can put a tutor in the command zone! The adventure is Open the Armory but you can then maybe cast the 2/2 double strike creature after.
26:46 genuinely loathe beseech. Like sheoldred and black control needing more consistency to find their toolbox pieces. Mono black 3 years in a row, very fun.
The thing I like about Werefox bodygaurd is, besides being a removal spell at instant speed , is you can also use it to dodge board wipes or just standard removal spell. By being the target you exile the creature dodges most removal and if it was a board wipe then comes back immediately
Lord Skitter's Blessing seems interesting for my Braids deck. I don't have a lot of Auras to enable it (just the back half of Lantern Bearer), but it's nice that the Blessing sticks around to reduce the cost on my Geistlight Snares before eventually getting sacced to a Braids trigger.
I was just about to say, "If I could subscribe to your channel twice that I would." Then I realized, I kinda can. Off to the pokemon channel. Keep those puns coming!
Very good list definitely agree with most of these, however I would have tried to sneak in Cheeky House-Mouse, I think it is gonna be great card for an already strong mono white.
Dev love the top 25 and really has changed my mind about this set. I was feeling pretty mid about this set in my initial glance through the list. Now that i watched this video my brewer brain is getting pretty amped up.
Three blind Mice is interedting in Anikthea, it can copy itself if you've exiled it with her etb. And it could in theory keep copying itself every turn. A mice token every turn and a buff to your army every other turn.
I already made a vintage storm deck with 4 beseech the mirror and 4 mizzix's mastery and 1 tendrils of agony. It requires a young pyromancer in play but seems fun
Dude, I'm right there with you in Hearth Elemental. Not only does this slot into my favorite jank deck ever (Dragon's Approach) it goes into any reanimator playing red. Hearth is my number one outside of standard card this set aside from the irengrag for commander.
Brilliant video as always. Sad not to see Yenna on any lists though.. Having an ossification on field and then just copying the shit out of it and exiling all your opponent’s creatures and planeswalkers when they don’t see it coming is really fun! Or you know, copying a Virtue of Loyalty, Virtue of Strength or just a Wedding Announcement :D
I wonder if some kind of Abzan list is possible, stapling in Eriette too. Keep cloning Ossification over and over and then wham - opponent loses 5, you gain 5, and oof.
I think Mosswood dreadknight has all the potential. I like him better than tenacious underdog because you can just spend the 2 mana to get him into an adventure and hold up or spend the rest on something else. Underdog always costs 4 for the upside of not having a window.
Agree so much on nr. 1, such a great card. I would actually think the fox is number 2, but let's see :). Thank you for no coffee break, sorry, but I just cannot take that voice. Love your normal voice though ;)
I've seen some people talking about Hearth Elemental but mostly for modern because of dredge, phoenix, hollowvine etc. Without those toys it seems harder to enable but maybe not too hard. It could go in monored burn or izzet spellslinger with Tolarian Terror.
I’m excited for this set. Idk if it’ll shake up like, top tier standard meta thaat much but maybe a couple add ins like lord ginger, beseech, scoundrel, black virtue etc. Aside from that there’s nothing that looks super annoying to play against (except maybe sweeper and the reanimate everything card lol) which is a relief. But lots of decent/good cards that will be fun build-arounds for tier 2-3 decks and yeah just lots of good but not OP cards. Adventures so fun, limited draft at LGS will be fun, love bunnicorn and skitter. We ball
Surprisingly there's not much I disagree with. Only the order of the cards I guess. Charming Scoundrel, I'm definitely not that high on. I wouldn't have it in my top 10 tbh. It's versatile and a fine creature but I just find it a tad boring. :) I mean it's just rummage, willy goblin or Feldon boredom. 😅 All ok-ish modes but nothing exciting imo. I am a bit surprised you didn't include Shrouded Shepherd. We know how incredibly strong and format warping Goblin Chainwhirler was, and this is easier to splash. And if they don't play creatures then you can just run it out on turn 2 and pump your 1 drop to deal 4 damage.
A big part of Chainwhirlers strength came from the fact it was a first striking 3 attack body in a deck that played burn, shepherd doesn't seem bad but it's design inherently isnt as explosive or pushed, the advantage in combat goes away and the -1/-1 has to get skipped in order for the buff to hit early and be at its most relevant I think the chainwhirler comparison just doesn't hold up power level wise
Twining Twins really wants to live in Standard with Prototype creatures. not only does it un-prototype the creatures, but when Arcane Proxy casts the Adventure out of the graveyard, the Twining Twins go back to adventure exile to be cast again as creatures.
You cannot choose to cast the Adventure side Instant/Sorceries with effects like Arcane Proxy's ability, sadly. In the graveyard they're just Creatures (or whatever permanent they are).
Hearth Elemental could see play in modern burn. You can pay 2 and get more gas, then pay 1 for a 4/5. Insane! Scalding Viper, now we can have 12 eidolon effects in modern burn. Hilarious 😂 😂😂
I think he’s overrating it a liiittle cuz usually your tokens to copy will just be 1/1 but at the same time it’s three bodys that get buffed by anthem so yeah… pretty nice My over-the-top (BRO) deck is looking nice with this release lol
Dev crushing it day in and day out. Guy is bringing top-tier, engaging entertainment and his channel should boooooooooom. UA-cam get it together with the ad revenue math.
holy shit i'm stealing that werefox joke and if people laugh i'm sending em here , dont stop with the jokes... even though that ones dumb. you can be dumb AND funny. not many actually funny people in mtg YT, spice8 is close and he also is a solo performer first . youre gonna be huge dude keep it up
Says a lot that there's a card very similar to Charming Scoundrel already in rotation, but it never saw any play because its green (Arbalest Engineers). Look it up if you've never used it, great little card.
@@Goldy01 powerstones are only bad if you're not using artifact creatures, which I am. And 1 damage isn't equal, in alchemy its often much better than rummaging because so much crap has 1 toughness.
Can confirm this is one of the best MTG UA-cam channels and Dev is doing some of the best work of his career
Ditto
💯
dev is the best!!!!!
It started hitting different when that microphone became mobile
@@beastly_dakota that is a perfect observation and the truth
Having watched your channel since SOI standard you have DEFINITELY been doing some of your best work ever imo Dev. This spoiler season has been incredible and this and the sleepers vid were easily the best ones ever in my opinion. I laughed and lot and was extremely engaged beginning to end!

D3v has been awesome lately and I love the current vibe he has.
The like and subscribe bit at the start had me laughing. I haven't watched content from your channel in a long time (years) and I see a big jump in the quality and your personality is showing way more, and I personally enjoy it. Nice work!
Three Blind Mice makes a copy of a token. It isn't restricted to creature tokens.
woah
Yeah works with roles, might be super sweet in orzhov auras!
Also makes nice ramp if you let those treasure tokens stew a couple turns
@@Goldy01Roles, treasure, food... Hell, it goes great with Calix who is easily one of the best cards in standard.
Copy Ob Nixilus tokens
I hear you and your Beast from the East reference. My favorite Goosebumbs. Syr Ginger is indeed a beast.
Oh the pun capacity of this set. Glad you're not pulling any punches.
I haven't really played much MTG for the last few months, but this set is calling me back to it.
The only reason I woke up this morning was for all the puns.
Think I just found my favourite MTG UA-camr! Good radio voice, unforced sense of humour and obviously knows his cards. Great work!
That FLASH Brutal Cathar is insane
Sadly lacks tribal synergy with Azorius Soldiers and White Humans, which are the only decks in Standard and Pioneer respectively that run Brutal Cathar.
Though I imagine, some Azorius Control decks might want to run it. Or possibly some sort of Knight Tribal, since we had tribal support in MotM.
@@jonathanmarth6426 well I'm not after the synergy because another form of removal is better than no removal
Can confirm Chicken was looking for a headscratch in the intro. Also Great video Man!!
I just got into MtG again after 4years and i am SCREAMING for those puns n jokes tho. Your content is absolutely amazing. Looking forward to play some drafts in my store!
Excellent video. Not too long, not too crazy, and so much value! I played the hell out of Charming Prince, so guess I’m playing her now.
Dev you are the GOAT, every-time I open up YT thinking man I wish I had some some SBMTG to watch boom here you are. Keep it up big dawg
Felt that you were channeling Kurt Russell from Big Trouble in Little China there at the beginning. Love it!
I’d say you’re in rare form Dev, but youre this good all the time!
Dev! I've been a long time subscriber, since the Dragons of Tarkir days, and I'm going over to the Pokémon channel for ya. Even when I put mtg on hiatus, I keep up with it because of your channel.
Much love, brother. Take care.
I’m fine with all your rambling about card art and personal feeling. Definitely teach me how fun Pokémon can be in comparison
The puns and jokes in this episode were absolutely bonkers. Nicely done
I enjoyed this punny version ;)
Being a diabetic I didn’t enjoy the jokes at diabetics expense when it isn’t true. I’m glad y’all enjoyed it.
I've been watching your videos for the past few weeks and realized, just now, that I wasn't even subscribed to ya! I've fixed that little snafu. Seriously great content, dude. I appreciate your commentary and your sleeping kitty!
Last time I played magic was during the Lorwyn block. This set makes me want to play again. Cool video!
Totally looking forward to B/x decks main boarding two shellys but running 2-3 of the tutor and just using blood tokens for the bargain effect. Yes im still salty they didnt ban the most broken four drop since questing beast
Irencrag/Everflame can be equipped to anything. It MAY transform into it's equipment form on legendary creature ETB.
I think that the adventure mechanic is just cracked.
I love Kellan, Fey Blooded for Commander (and he's showing up elsewhere) - you can put a tutor in the command zone! The adventure is Open the Armory but you can then maybe cast the 2/2 double strike creature after.
26:46 genuinely loathe beseech. Like sheoldred and black control needing more consistency to find their toolbox pieces. Mono black 3 years in a row, very fun.
great video Dev! Not sure what you see in that #1 pick though. You've been fooled my friend the bunny was #1
The thing I like about Werefox bodygaurd is, besides being a removal spell at instant speed , is you can also use it to dodge board wipes or just standard removal spell. By being the target you exile the creature dodges most removal and if it was a board wipe then comes back immediately
That’s why it’s bodyguard. White aggro will rarely use it that way though. Nice to have the option anyway
The Sugarmaw pun into brambling man cements why I'm subbed to this channel 😂
Lord Skitter's Blessing seems interesting for my Braids deck. I don't have a lot of Auras to enable it (just the back half of Lantern Bearer), but it's nice that the Blessing sticks around to reduce the cost on my Geistlight Snares before eventually getting sacced to a Braids trigger.
I was just about to say, "If I could subscribe to your channel twice that I would." Then I realized, I kinda can. Off to the pokemon channel. Keep those puns coming!
Glad at least one content creator is making the connection between Decadent Dragon and Hedonism Bot.
The puns and rhymes and references in this videos, wow. like a work of art
"Moon shaker"...instant classic... love it.
Yes it is. This set looks amazing. Morale is back, baybee. Cheers.
Lol that was a really great video. You got chops brother instant subscribe
Dev with the Pokemon and Hollow Knight references. That's part of the reason he's my favorite.
Very good list definitely agree with most of these, however I would have tried to sneak in Cheeky House-Mouse, I think it is gonna be great card for an already strong mono white.
I usually do not “smash that like button” but i found your content charming so i subbed
Dev love the top 25 and really has changed my mind about this set. I was feeling pretty mid about this set in my initial glance through the list. Now that i watched this video my brewer brain is getting pretty amped up.
I think the red 2 drop you put at 11 and the black green 3/2 that comes back from graveyard are both my best picks in set.
Solid puns in this one, but the Sugarmaw grandma joke really got me.
Three blind Mice is interedting in Anikthea, it can copy itself if you've exiled it with her etb. And it could in theory keep copying itself every turn. A mice token every turn and a buff to your army every other turn.
Awesome video yet again!
Hearth Elemental - Plunge into Winter - Sugar Rush and Quick Study the only cards that interests me in this new set :)
This is questing dryad erasure
I already made a vintage storm deck with 4 beseech the mirror and 4 mizzix's mastery and 1 tendrils of agony. It requires a young pyromancer in play but seems fun
Dev you could be a great guide on the Jungle Cruise ride at Disney with you humor and disposition lol
Dude, I'm right there with you in Hearth Elemental. Not only does this slot into my favorite jank deck ever (Dragon's Approach) it goes into any reanimator playing red. Hearth is my number one outside of standard card this set aside from the irengrag for commander.
Here for your jokes!! Their like pudding always have room for more
I'm surprised Up the Beanstalk didn't make it when Leyline Binding exists.
Brilliant video as always.
Sad not to see Yenna on any lists though..
Having an ossification on field and then just copying the shit out of it and exiling all your opponent’s creatures and planeswalkers when they don’t see it coming is really fun!
Or you know, copying a Virtue of Loyalty, Virtue of Strength or just a Wedding Announcement :D
I wonder if some kind of Abzan list is possible, stapling in Eriette too. Keep cloning Ossification over and over and then wham - opponent loses 5, you gain 5, and oof.
VERY surprised Three Blind Mice made the cut, and above Twining Twins at that. I don't see how that card is playable outside of limited.
People actually said the same thing about Wedding Announcement
A ton of good stuff in this set. First eldraine set is my favorite so far and I will collect this set alot too.
Loving the humor. Subbed:)
PLEASE do that Eriette EDH deck teck! I'm looking forward to building her in the future and could use some recommendations from you 😉
❤️ great video! I love when you get listy, if that’s a word lol
Twining Twins seems really good to me, and very interesting for commander. Without being insanely busted.
This set is gonna be awesome.!
The artwork of these cards are absolutely stunning 😍
ashamed to admit i lol'd for like 10 seconds at the "devouring sugar, maw!" jokje
When i opened some packs and got some of these card as i was blown away by their low prices
Just now appreciating this set.
I think Mosswood dreadknight has all the potential. I like him better than tenacious underdog because you can just spend the 2 mana to get him into an adventure and hold up or spend the rest on something else. Underdog always costs 4 for the upside of not having a window.
I liked for the info. I subbed for the puns. Steady stream of puns.
Dev videos are just good for the soul on rainy days. Have a good weekend folks and keep your cardboard dry.
Agree so much on nr. 1, such a great card. I would actually think the fox is number 2, but let's see :).
Thank you for no coffee break, sorry, but I just cannot take that voice. Love your normal voice though ;)
The grandma sugermaw joke was too good 😂😂
I've seen some people talking about Hearth Elemental but mostly for modern because of dredge, phoenix, hollowvine etc.
Without those toys it seems harder to enable but maybe not too hard. It could go in monored burn or izzet spellslinger with Tolarian Terror.
Dang, big ups to anyone still playing hollowvine. Hollow one is such a pet card for me.
I’m excited for this set. Idk if it’ll shake up like, top tier standard meta thaat much but maybe a couple add ins like lord ginger, beseech, scoundrel, black virtue etc.
Aside from that there’s nothing that looks super annoying to play against (except maybe sweeper and the reanimate everything card lol) which is a relief.
But lots of decent/good cards that will be fun build-arounds for tier 2-3 decks and yeah just lots of good but not OP cards.

Expensive Taste seems like a cute way to shut off Doomsday lines, punish people for hiding things from your Thoughtseize with brainstorm, etc.
Agree, rollin man, The Goose Mother is like a fairy tale Reckoner Bankbuster.
beast from the yeast LOL. goosebumps ref ftw
Hearth Elemental could see play in modern burn. You can pay 2 and get more gas, then pay 1 for a 4/5. Insane!
Scalding Viper, now we can have 12 eidolon effects in modern burn. Hilarious 😂 😂😂
thinking about having to play against mono white decks that now running 4x wedding PLUS 4x three blind mice, threw up in my mouth a little
I think he’s overrating it a liiittle cuz usually your tokens to copy will just be 1/1 but at the same time it’s three bodys that get buffed by anthem so yeah… pretty nice
My over-the-top (BRO) deck is looking nice with this release lol
Bro, I love when you're just riffing
Dude that mom joke got me cracking up 🤣
The bud lite commercial with the twins yes I remember sir. Only is old bloods will lol
The Irencrag. Do you see what they've done?
They printed an Aggro Crag.
Dev crushing it day in and day out. Guy is bringing top-tier, engaging entertainment and his channel should boooooooooom. UA-cam get it together with the ad revenue math.

Would love a video of some historic brawl builds
'Hate to watch you leavin...but I love to watch you...dough...' - Yes. Just yes. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
❤ Great job Dev!
Might be an idea for your 'channels' tab to link to your pokemon channel and vice versa
Says a lot that there's a card very similar to Charming Scoundrel already in rotation, but it never saw any play because its green (Arbalest Engineers). Look it up if you've never used it, great little card.
Powerstone tokens are just kinda bad and 1 damage is not equal to drawing a card and tossing one in the graveyard.. also costs 50% more mana!
@@Goldy01 powerstones are only bad if you're not using artifact creatures, which I am. And 1 damage isn't equal, in alchemy its often much better than rummaging because so much crap has 1 toughness.
Came for the insight into the set, stayed for the 10/10 puns.
Decadent dragon is one of my favs
Is light paws still in standard Eriette is auto include in that deck splash black all day long
We need more exploration of creature voices!
The vipe joke had me DYING 😂😂😂😂😂
I think Charming Scoundrel may be the best card printed for Big Red in the past decade.
“Like an Australian tying to relax I can’t wait to hit the Vipe” 😂 If the channel doesn’t work out you could make a career in stand up!
Take the last vowel off of Eriette my guy
The last syllable sounds like 'met'
How do you know? Not being flippant, I was just wondering if there is an official pronunciation list for MTG cards somewhere?
If yes, that's nifty!
It's a common french female suffix known from a lot of other names like "Claudette" for example. @@Finkeldinken
dude, what a laughathon, Dev you are the man youre on fire
I do watch this channel for the subtle puns
Howling galefang also seem very good especially in draft. Much better than a lot of rares in this set.
