Your shorts are so popular, and rightfully so because they are well done and usually hilarious, but these long form videos blow them out of the water. It’s hard to imagine the amount of effort put into them. It was after I watched your “best card from each set” video that I realized I needed to binge watch your whole channel.
Hopefully this will live up to that first project! Additionally, we'll be shooting for a big project similar to this one for each month now!
Each month?! On top of daily content? Thats a lot a value for 1 subscription!
@@NitpickingNerds wow!!
@@NitpickingNerds I only hope that you have enough watchable content idea's to keep that going and keep the channel interesting. You can do it though. Just keep doing what you're doing and you should be fine
@@NitpickingNerds yeah you guys are the shit!! Keep it up!!

Fun fact: Horrors were used as a replacement for Demons in Magic back when Wizards of the Coast was worried about people thinking their game was Satanic. Demons have since returned to the game.
If I recall correctly, they returned on Innistrad
Gotta love the Satanic Panic, lol

This was amazing. A contemporary EDH-focused monster manual.
The complete encyclopedia! Thank you LD
This is perfect! I'm making a Volo deck and I was hoping for this exact video!!
I'm on a 98% chance that one or both of the NN are building a Volo deck
Having built a Volo deck of 1 of each type I could remember with no legendaries / legendary rule and mostly built around etbs, this is the perfect video for my idea of a rainbow secret commander Volo deck. Can't wait to start buying it
@@Omega_Orion rainbow secret?
Just searched CZcams as I’m building my own Volo deck too! This video was indeed great for that. Thanks Nerds!!!!
Tribal decks are my favorite type of deck so this should be interesting.
Besides all of your videos being really entertaining, this has been the most entertaining for a long time. I had so much fun watching it! Thanks for awesome content like this!
No problem at all, we love it! Be sure to share so more people can see it :D
This channel is criminally underrated for sub count. Great content guys, love these long form dives.
Thank you so much!
This is fantastic! You guys produce very high quality videos and I love that I found your channel! Keep it up!
Thank you for the positivity, sending it right back!
We all know the best creature of EVERY type is Orvar, The All Form.
Doubtful 😂
Orvar is a great anti discard commander.
Morophon would like a word 😂
I love Orvar btw
That's a strange way to spell Morophon the Boundless.
How dare you disrespect Mistform Ultimus
This was a phenomenal start to my Volos guide to monsters deck. You guys did a shit ton of work so everyone else didn’t have to. Thanks!
Thank you for this incredibly thorough and well-made video!!
No problem, it was so much fun to make and we are just glad you enjoyed the result!
The back to back to back to back with Sponge, Squid, Squirrel and Starfish is hilarious.
We writing the script and I did sponge then I kept writing and noticed they were all main charters of sponge bob
I was looking for at least one comment on how perfectly those fell right next to each other for a perfect flavor win!!! Top draw, nerds!
@@groundswelllegitcoffeeandb3810 Yeah what are the odds of that.. amazing! How can you NOT do a bit on this haha
5 days from now?! Maaaan that's like 4 other nitpicking video's away. Can't wait for the merfolk one!
It'll be here before you know it!
This is gonna be an exciting video. A while back you hinted at another big project similar to your "best of each set" video and I'm guessing this is it.
Can't wait!
This is 100% it!
WOW this video was a production in it self, all the research, graphics, card creature shout outs, Great Job you too.
I love how they describe each creature type. Like thanks i needed description about what a cat is 😂😂 its a very nice touch!
Well yeah you might not know what a human is lol 😂
This brings back the hilarious videos of you guys ranking them commanders and at the bottom of the list is your descent into madness. “Ah this is a legendary 2/2 for 9 that makes you pay half your life on cast”
That's basically what they were!!!
This was epic in scope, information and hilarity. Thanks again Nitpicking Nerds!!!
No problem at all thank you for the view and comment friebd
Caribou Coffee is delicious!
You guys go above and beyond with content like this. Keep up the fantastic work, fellas!
Thanks so much; we plan on it!
*Slow Clap* Bravo boys! Well done on this! Its long form videos like this that really explore the depth of this 30 year old TCG that set you apart from other command centered MTG channels. Keep it up and I hope the video does well for you!
Thank you for the kind words we will continue kicking butts and taking names
I love that you included cards that become their tribe and specifically did not allow Changelings to steal the "best of tribe" title, especially when there were only 1 or 2 of any particular creature type. This made the list far more interesting to watch.
Totally agree. It's pretty pointless to have changelings as the best caribou lol
Always so impressed by all the work put into your videos
WOW!!! Best video you guys ever made, top 5 MTG videos on CZcams. Love this so much, thanks yall!
Damn some high praise thank you so much
Great job, loved it
Um, actually whales do NOT blow out water out of their blowholes. Rather they exhale through them when submerged causing a cascade of water to erupt if they are close to the surface. Their exhaled breath is by the way one of the most disgusting smells in the world (that I have experienced) smelling of months old crayfish, shrimp, and plankton.
Great vidoe BTW. I really like your long form content so I decided to post this for some great whale fact points as well as a boost in the algorithm.
Have a great day!
This was so interesting to break down each creature type!
Thanks Dylan glad you liked it!
Great video! I really appreciate all the work involved in creating it. Very entertaining AND informative? Should have a ... PBS show or something lol
Children hate Beezy lol 😂
God I love you guys. Top tier content. Not even just MTG content. Just content period.
That's very high praise and we appreciate it and will try to earn it again with each video we make!
I am curious to see your parameters. Especially in regards to larger tribes like goblins, elves, etc. Are you taking deck symmetry or tribal symmetry into account, or only the card in a vacuum? This will be very interesting.
I was expecting to see either or both Chainers in the minions section and Najeela in the warriors, but this is easily the most impressive and complete creature list assembled for commander players that I have ever seen!
Glad that you enjoyed it
"Archers aren't the strongest class in the world."
EMIYA: "You sure about that, Rin? You sure about that?"
Very well done overview of all the creature types of mtg,
i am mad that you dissed the riggers like that at 1:07:30
they are so fun to play, i whip out my unstable set on occasion,
great chaotic fun those joke cards are, totally recomend getting some proxys with your mates
channel should be so much bigger best content from any format ive ever seen keep it up you two great synergistic bonding and banter between the two of you i cant ask for anymore pretty sure ill be becoming a patreon soon thanks so much for the great work and positive attitudes sometimes its hard to find that these days
amazing as always
As Prossh Main, your dragon section made me very happy! :)
He is the man!
This is very well done.
I will say it makes sense to explain what the obscure types are but hilarious when you explain what a "bear" or a "bird" is.
I love the minions joke lol
Loved and shared this! Yehii is my fav!
Thank you!!
Cannot believe Rick didn’t make the honorable mention for humans 😭great job with this whole video, amazing work!!!!
Thank you so much 😊
Been waiting for this
What did you think?
This was really good and interesting, my only worry going in was that there would be too much breathing time between types but it’s really tightly edited nice job !
Insane value, super job guys!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is very useful for the new guide to monsters commander, the anti-tribal one
Wonderful job on the script & performance
Thanks a ton for the kind words
@@NitpickingNerds genuinely impressed
Great vid this. Beezy needs a big drink after that marathon effort.
Awesome content!
Thank you
In summary, Ikoria and Jumpstart are amazing.
They really were for for creature types atleast
Who would of thought the order of sponge, squid, squirrel and star fish was perfect for a run of SpongeBob references. Brilliant!
I loved this video. Only problem was it took me about a week to get through it because I kept pausing it to update some of my decklists. Lol
With Anowon the Ruin Thief being released I built a "Steal your opponents thing's", Rogue's Tribal deck. It's one of my favorites and it actually hangs in with some of the heavy hitters quite often
Oh man, I love these types of decks. As someone who used to have and run a Derevi bird tribal deck I love this sort of thing. Personally creativity over competitiveness is where my enjoyment of commander comes in
I watched all of this. It's awesome.
Good soup. But legit it was fascinating to hear about every single type of creature since it really make me think about what creatures I want to try and use in the future.
Your cadence and timing is great Beezy.
Beezy amazing and I appreciate everything he does though he will never see this comment
You lads have outdone yourselves with this one!
We are just too good 😊
This is some great research for my Volo deck
Trained pronghorn is so good though, it’s one of a very small pool of cards that let you discard in mono-white for mono white reanimator decks
That is fair! It would be strong in that deck!
Cool idea, fun video
Where else can you learn such deep EDH knowledge as "caribou are related to the deer family but larger"?
These are CRITICAL facts to bring to your next EDH pickup game
58:34 “Nomads are the happiest creature types”. Nice!
good research!
Alright, I can't believe you let Huntmaster of the Fells down like that. That card is THE best werewolf card and should have been legendary.
Ok the fact that sponge, squid, squirrel and starfish are all next to each other in alphabetical order is pretty hilarious, now I'm just waiting for the spongebob set xD.
“Bouncing Beebles is bad, but boy it better be bathing in your bulk box” thank you for that sentence Beezy. 😂
I think that went mostly unnoticed so good on you for finding that little easter egg :P
Nightstalker fans: damn someone finally made a video about my favourite tribe
In coming!
Thats how I feel about Sek'Kuar getting a shoutout
Ancient Brontodon (aka Gregory) or Colossal Dreadmaw better be the best dinosaur since Gregory can canonically whoop every big threat in magic's story except for the eldrazi titans
Yeah he scary AF!
great work.
Another great video
Thanks so much!
Dreamscape artist is my favorite personal pet card, so I was ELATED to see it as the best spellshaper
Card gives ramp to blue very solid if it was green it would be bad lol
This was a fun watch and I can't believe you took time in a 90+ minutes video to make Minions jokes 🤣
Oh yes, our priorities are extremely fair
Might be a good idea to revisit this idea next year after so many new creature types are getting added from edh and secret lairs
That was really long, but it was worth it just to see all the different types of creatures.
Glad you got through it!
Awesome vid. Melek actually reveals the top card so no secret tech to repeatably look at the top card haha
Oh yeah oops
Guys, is this choise of background music some high level trolling of commanders quarters? well nice job there combining that with 1,5 h of content :D:D:D
No trolling at all why do you ask?
@@NitpickingNerds oh it's just the music that gets to me every time I try to watch one of his videos :D
and so I thought, you might have been onto something here; but apparently I am mistaken.
great video (+efford) again. thx
the Grave Titan disrespect has reached legendary status.
can someone tell me what is the song playing at 33:30?
This is such a gun video ^_^ thank you for giving me something to listen to while i clean my house!!!
Thank you for that storm crow honorable mention haha
The Sponge/Squid/Squirrel/Starfish sequencing was perfect
Thank you for this really important contribution to the world of EDH. I found this entertaining and informative. I found myself agreeing with you on almost every pick. I do have an issue with the exclusion of Simian Spirit Guide however. It is one of the most powerful 'fast mana' enablers in decks that can 'hang' at CEDH tables (7,8,9 and 10s) yet it is not included as an honourable mention in the Yargle section (which I understand to be a joke) even though much weaker cards are. In the Ape section you suggest that Kogla, a battlecruiser matters card that barely made a splash in standard, is better than the facilitator of turn 3 ad naus wins. That discourages optimal, sophisticated plays for splashy, inefficient ones that don't win the game.
We don’t include cEDH when we grade or judge cards. Cards good in cEDH often are not good in an average deck. That being said Simian Spirit Guide is a solid card in cEDH decks. 😊
Well Commander is kind of all about splashy, inefficient plays that don't win the game...
Geez, I can imagine how many days of work went into this video. So much editing, recording, research, etc.
Basically a million, thanks for the support!
Homarid Spawning Bed is a key piece in my esper aristocrats deck, definitely won me a few games
Love you guys
Love you more
Another worthy entry in the NPN Encyclopedia MTGica
This'll be PERFECT for my Volo deck
Time to rewatch the Hyoe-l thing again!
Lol Hyoe!
I have a affinity deck in multiple formats and not once have I ever noticed Signal Pests head is in the center. I always thought it was his left arms claw.
This is an impressive video and I appreciate the work that you put into it. If I could offer a suggestion though, it may be more digestible to break the video into smaller videos each going over a few letters, like volumes of an actual encyclopedia, instead of one long video. I doubt the second half of this video will get as much attention but the whole thing is worth watching. Just my 2 cents. Good job though
Thank you for the feedback and kind words
Awesome video! there are a lot more than 5 Wurms though...
Volo will love this video
finally a video that's not to short
We do long form videos every week lol
not long enough!
This really makes me want to make a Volo deck
Wow all the SpongeBob cards were back to back haha sick video guys!
Well now I’m building a Bat EDH deck, thanks Nitpicking Nerds!
Your welcome!
Now that Volo was previewed from Commander legends 2 this is more informative then ever
Storm crow in the bird section casually just made me snicker.
Couldn't leave it out lol
Isn't Vilis broker of Blood better ? Or was thus before it was released ? For demons section
Whenever I looked at my Gitrog monster I thought the thing hanging out of his mouth was his tongue, not a human arm.
Im legit curious why you said there are only 5 wurms when im looking at 93 in manabox? Am not understanding the variance here.
