You didn't mention this nice interaction: The clue equipment "Rope" makes the creature it's on unable to be blocked by more than one creature. This effectively makes Suspects (and really any Menace creature, but suspect effects are quite plentiful) unblockable.
I totally agree. The format was really smooth and concise. I'd honestly prefer both an in-depth each card quantified and the shorter format. Of course that's very greedy of me and I'd watch either/or.
Yes! Love this so much! I always appreciate any helpful guides in limited! I hope this continues as a series of videos with each set moving forward! Thanks so much Luca!!! 😊
in regards to the 5 mana rule for face-down cards, note that red has Expose the Culprit which can flip up a face-down card for only 2 mana at instant speed.
I really appreciate you taking your time and effort to make such a well thought out video. I love the format. It's probably more effort on your side as you have to curate it more. It feels like a very refreshing way of looking at a set/limited environment. The only slight critic I have is that for the commons/uncommons in each color I would have appreciated to see ~6-8 cards and not only 3-4. But that may be personal preference. No matter what thank you for the amazing content as always. You really are one of the top creators when it comes to Magic the Gathering in my opinion
I only do sealed for in person play otherwise my biggest time investment is certainly online. Much much much cheaper to build decks and play. These vids though are great 😊 keep em up legend 😉
I feel like there’s enough limited podcasts covering that space, especially now that there’s multiple data tracking websites readily available. Regurgitating that information doesn’t feel very genuine if I’m not putting the time in to draft a bunch myself.
My new favorite source for draft guides! If you have a face-down creature that is targeted by a kill spell and you respond by flipping it, the spell still hits it after it flips right?
Suspicious Detonation: 'And this spell also cannot be countered, which can also be irrelevant.' Cute Freudian Slip, revealing what you actually thought about it in Limited ; )
@@LegenVD then it was just a pause 'ah' before the 'relevant'... (by the way I didn't wanna shit on your video, I'm super grateful for the well packaged draft info)
It is worthwhile to note that niv mizzet gets nerfed by leyline. Since leyline makes all your non land permanents all colours, only lands will count towards niv mizzets X ability
At the LRR PPR they pointed out that there is a subtle difference between the MKM boros archetype and old school battalion. Old school battalion specifically ask for the creatures with the ability word to be attacking whereas boros cards in this set ask the player to attack with ANY set of three creatures or more. Means to creatures without haste can contribute on the turn the enter the battlefield. Not really important but it does highlight how these cards are better than old cards.

@@davestier6247 Apologies, I had heard people say similar stuff in a negative context and was kinda frustrated about it (more than I should be) so I was quick to assume. My bad.
@@gbort1 Except disguise doesn't fix the main problem of morph in constructed i.e. that nobody want to play a 2/2 for 3 even if it has now ward 2 and just made it more annoying to deal with in limited since now it's harder to remove it before it's turned face up. So it's useless powercreep since morph was nearly only used in limited to begin with.
Leyline of the guild pact is actually a nonbo with the new niv. Because it makes all permanent every color Niv’s requirement of two colored permanents can’t be fulfilled so it’s just a 6/6 flyer which, while good, isn’t worth being 5 colors

It's a shame they didn't renew your contract for the official MTG Arena channel, but I guess that just gets grouped in with all the other downsizing they've been doing. It seems short-sighted by them to not invest more in the game's creators or community, but we'll have to wait and see what happens with MTG over the next couple years to see what kind of an effect it will have.
Am I wrong or isn't Niv Mizzet Guildpact NOT good with Leyline of the Guildpact because Niv is looking for permanents with EXACTLY 2 colors not all colors
How does work the " case card " the first part of the card is only etb or is perpetually and once that resolve the first part of the case is still active ?
That helps, but watching the video and maybe reading the overview of Instants and Disguise cards will get you most of the way there. Still a lot more convenient than reading every card multiple times! If you're drafting digitally it's also easy enough to pull those up or consult my ratings spreadsheet to get a little guidance.
Thanks for this comment to confirm I'm not crazy. I *knew* I saw this video pop up a few days ago and saved it to my Watch Later list, but then couldn't find it just ~30 minutes later. Eventually I just convinced myself that I mistook Nizzahon's video for Legend's, and didn't properly save it to my playlists.

I miss LVD draft videos 😢
Did he stop doing limited content altogether?
Better format than 4h full set review. Would like to see "meta update" after you play a few drafts.
I totally agree. The format was really smooth and concise. I'd honestly prefer both an in-depth each card quantified and the shorter format. Of course that's very greedy of me and I'd watch either/or.
Tbh, I also like the 4h review. Every card valued separately and together, taken into context the potential combos.

This was a perfectly thought out and produced video! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
An extremely comprehensive video with a lot of effort put into it. Thanks a lot!
Going to my first pre-release ever this weekend, so this video really helps
Good luck & have fun!

Legend making a draft guide!?
Never clicked faster.
The most deep and thought-out guide I’ve ever seen)
Let’s all subscribe to legenvd, he deserves it
Best content creator on YT.Highly professional!
Thank you for going over this set. Hoping to get better at drafts. You are always great at explaining things. :)
Concise, precise, neat...
In other words: perfect.
That is a lot of help and highly satisfying to watch
thank you, Legend 😁
Would love to see some limited content Legenvd!
Love this version of your limited review!!
I know they don’t do well but you should do some draft videos really like those and your thought process
New to magic and I plan on going to my first draft event next Friday so excited. This video came in perfect timing
I only do sealed for in person play otherwise my biggest time investment is certainly online. Much much much cheaper to build decks and play. These vids though are great 😊 keep em up legend 😉
Are you planning on doing any draft content anywhere? I would love to watch some. And great draft guide!
He does a couple every set
@@BenjaminWinter7Really? I don't remember him doing any for the Lost Caverns. Checking his draft playlist the last draft he did was Wilds of Eldraine
Great video, thank you!
Great video, very complete, keep it up and thank you! 🙏❤️🙌
set looks good! thanks for such a complete overview as always :)
Legend please do some draft video :)))
Short but sweet guide!
Wow... Legend is so advanced in the game now he is turning into a Consultant.
Playing my first pre release tournament today. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
Great vid, im tired of the 4 h full set reviews (and barely have time to pay attention to them too). This is much better. Any plans for a Meta update?

Yeah, kinda like how discover is just plain better than cascade and cloak is just plain better than morph. The power creep will never end.

Good interaction to point out! Still nice to enable the case so depends on how many you have.
Does the contract and sponsorship mean you will be returning to your regular draft content?
I see what you did there with "Audience with trostani" and "a killer amoung us". Lol
Leyline of the guild pact shuts down Niv-Mizzet, because you won't have any color pairs anymore
Indeed, it's mostly there for the Case, s you'll have to evaluate it on a case-by-case basis.
Also - shouldn't cloak cards specifically state 'look at the card'? Because if not, how can we know if it's a creature?
You can always look at face down cards you own, but not at opponent's face down cards unless you have a card with an effect that lets you do so.
@@mistsister okay that I wasn't aware of, probably because it was during my magic Pause when the mechanic was introduced...
Thanks for the clarification!
cant wait for the update

The this guys mechanic looks fun!
Also - was there ever a colorless Enchantment before? No right?
Am I wrong or isn't Niv Mizzet Guildpact NOT good with Leyline of the Guildpact because Niv is looking for permanents with EXACTLY 2 colors not all colors
You’re correct. Leyline is mostly to enable the Case, so you’ll have to evaluate it on a case by case basis.
I heard that the 10 rare surveil lands will be in the basic land slot. Is there any truth to this claim?
what will happened if if blinked a disguised creature? is it come back transformed as it's original card or as a 2/2?
It will come back face up, although it doesn't trigger the "when turned face up" abilities.
Wondering if this will be another draft guide followed by absolutely no drafts
Looks like it lads 😎😎😎
any chance for limited gameplay videos making a comeback?
If this video does well, I'll certainly consider it!
How does work the " case card " the first part of the card is only etb or is perpetually and once that resolve the first part of the case is still active ?
The first part is always active, the last part only when solved.
complexity seems pretty high this set
How does Sudden Setback work? Will the the enemy spell resolve even if you play it?
No, it’s like Remand.
what is the card count for this set?
how do we get the cheat sheets to print ? looks very useful
Take a screenshot 😉 Make sure the video quality is set to 1080p.
what is the rule of 5?
I explain it in the video!
Is it a card game like Gwent or what... ? 🤔
The original collectible card game!
Please do a video on the naya enchantments with etali's favor deck. Would love to see your spin on it!
I did a jeskai version recently. ua-cam.com/video/ZdaWcIatrcQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
So... in short.. just memorize the set before you start drafting.
