What do you think about this set? Are you excited about it? What new cards slot in perfectly to your existing commander decks?
The precons are amazing. The set has several playable cards and is fun in sealed. The set works well. The set also doesn’t have a lot of high dollar cards. So for me, this set is great. I am newer to magic so getting good playable cards is more important to me than opening for value. I bought two of the precons for the same reason. They have sooo many usable cards. So this set is good depending on what you are looking for.
I get kind of annoyed when I hear y'all putting down some cards, because your complaints basically amount to: "it's not fast enough" or "it's not cheap enough" or "I want more for less".
And this is while everyone is already upset that the format is getting too fast which Josh even mentioned at the beginning of the episode.
I found the Archdruid's Charm to slot perfectly into my Zaxara deck. Zaxara itself can generate 2 green mana making it a lot easier to cast, and targetting zaxara with the +1/+1 counter mode is just a straight up removal. However I use it as a tutor to fetch whichever creature I need, mainly a wincon in the form of Agumented Pugilist//Echoing Equation
in card assessment ppl tend to be over logically when most ppl arent
@therachelweeks I'm excited for Archdruid's Charm in my Hazezon, Shaper of Sand deck! Another way to get out some of those deserts!! 🤩
(though the toughest part will be to make sure fixing mana to get that (G)(G)(G) 🙃)
Just put Rachel on every episode of Best of 99 and Precon Upgrade. She's hands down the best at explaining cards for newbies like myself and her personality really makes videos like this shine. A+ stuff. JLK is cool too I guess lol
She would be my favorite female mtg personality
She’s indeed legit.
Someone has a crush
That's awesome you're a new player. Hope you have fun and I follow your tiktoks you're great.
She’s already on everything
@ 53:13 Rachel is wrong about the imposter counters, if you move them to a new creature and that creature dies, you do get the effect again assuming illicit masquerade is still on the battlefield. The enchantment is checking for the counters when things die. However, if someone removes the enchantment they start doing nothing no matter how the counter was put on there
This comment should be at the top. It is like the finality counters
@@mHysteresis not exactly finality counters have rules attached to them. These do not, it's just the enchantment doesn't care how the counters were added.
Right, imposter counters are like charge counters; no inherent rules associated with them, so the enchantment needs to still be in play for them to “work”, but they are absolutely compatible with an Ozolith or a Nesting Grounds.
Thanks, I was all over Gatherer trying to find what ruling she was referring to on this. I thought I'd been playing "modified creatures" effects wrong if some counters didn't count as counters...
59:00 Insidious Roots can also be played in Meren. You don't have to exil stuff from your graveyard. If you reanimating a lot already anyway, this is great. And Meren often runs Avenger of Zendikar, Grave Titan, Hornet Queen and stuff like that anyway.
Was thinking the same thing! Its quite good for a Meren Deck.
Ritual/Necropotence turn one. Roots turn two and Necro for 20-30. Do what you wish turn 3.
Colfenor loves this card!!
53:16 pretty sure this is incorrect for illicit masquerade and interactions with cards like the ozolith. While it’s true the “imposter counter” has no abilities tied to it, as long as the illicit masquerade is on the battlefield it will trigger whenever a creature with that type of counter dies. Doesn’t matter where the counter came from, it just needs to named “imposter counter”.
Came to the comments to find this. They were so confident when explaining I almost believed them 😅
I was also a bit confused about that
Yep. I was also wondering if this could be a nice jank include for Skullbriar. It would never lose the imposter counter, so whenever it dies you get a new creature.
I think the land mode is so much better on Archmage’s Charm than it was given credit for, because the flexibility goes through the roof.
Not having the restrain of "Basic land" makes this huge ramp.
Any two-one color deck will be able to run this perfectly fine even if your deck only has 2 really good land targets. It answers literally anything, exiles The One Ring and allows you to find a Nykthos/Ancient Tomb at instant speed. If your deck is running Crop Rotation, Archdruid is probably gonna be even better.
EDIT: I am currently playtesting it in a Simic Gale list, and being able to cast this from the greveyard at a later turn seems really great. Obviously it won't be great in every deck, but most can run it without feeling like a waste of a slot.
Find my field of the dead? or my avenger of zendikar in my lands deck? yes pls
Gates deck enjoy this. nine finger Keene. Opponents End step, get Mazes end. Untap win. If you meet the prerec.
Ya I think their take on this is totally wrong. It can work in most decks with good mana bases and/or has a good amount of treasure generation. It can literally be or go get an answer to any problem you have. It’s removal or ramp on its own and can go tutor any creature if you need card advantage. Archmage charm is not a good comparison because it’s modes are not nearly as flexible and this basically has an extra mode with the first one actually being two options
Insidious roots seems pretty insane with Tayam, Luminous Enigma. You can recur it with Tayam then once things start leaving your graveyard, you are making mana dorks to pay for it's ability PLUS they all get counters.
Yeah I don't know what they were smoking. How is that card an uncommon lol.
@@banaanuitdeboom4784 WotC announced late last year that they were working on changing how they design cards, upping the power of commons and uncommons, so there's little to no "draft chaff" anymore....
I know you don’t need ANOTHER comment confirming Rachel was a HOME RUN for this channel-she’s witty, wicked smart about interactions, cares about unique play patterns, and represents an underrepresented identity in Magic. ABOVE ALL, I love how the rest of the cast lights up with her. Rachel, if you’re reading this, you bring up those around you, and that may just be the highest calling we humans have.
My anecdotal experience with Archdruid's Charm is very different than the lukewarm reception it got here. For me, this card is bonkers. I'm slotting it in as upgrades to existing artifact / enchantment removal. It's a real powerhouse card, and a significant enhancement, as your options are just so wide. The instant speed tutoring is just nuts, in G. I don't think any other color can tutor any land into play at Instant speed, and even G only has a handful of options to do this, with Crop Rotation requiring you to sac a land, and risk getting blownout as a result. It's also great that it exiles the One Ring, and other combo pieces, like Heliod.
Again, I think the thing to not overlook is that this card only has good modes, and it's the niche filler on modal cards that usually makes them read better than they are. This isn't one of those worthless Zendikar Inscriptions.
Archdruid's charm is the cheapest way to search for any land and put it on the battlefield without a downside. Not only that but its an instant and can go get glacial chasm in response to combat.
Wargate can get any land onto the battlefield untapped for 3 mana too so not true! This is an instant though and can go into way more decks. Gonna play both in the decks that can
@@daneburke6592wargate has an arguably harder mana condition. Both cards are very flexible tho
It's a good spell, but Crop Rot does it much cheaper, with a very small downside
@@anthonybuck4864 crop rotation isn’t removal or creature tutor though
@@daneburke6592its still true just tied
Insidious roots + tyvar make for a really fun synergy, because it allows the plant tokens to have haste for producing mana.
Tortured Existence, and you can discard a creature in your hand and return one from your graveyard infinitely…
Muldrotha + Zendicar is the idea where you can play creatures from yard and it makes tokens since Muldrotha self mills and Avenger of Zendicar makes plants so now when you play lands or creatures from yard the plants get +1/+1
You can stack the triggers on Illicit Masquerade to save some of the imposters. I also misunderstood this at first but it's a little better than they say.
There was first a translation of this card spoiled and I had no clue how it would work. The card has huge combo potential with an felidar guardian and a sac outlet. This is due to it not being worded with an "if you do" clause.
Prisoner’s Dilemma is a fun slam dunk in Rakdos LORs. Worst case scenario with Rakdos out is 5 mana becomes 12. Plus it fits his philosophy nicely.
Neheb, The Eternal might be even better. Unless you're dropping Eldrazi on the board the Rakdos discount only goes so far and only for creatures, while this is 12-24 red mana at the start of your postcombat main phase that you can spend on anything
@@fearghaill9738 True that. Imagine having both on the board and an X casting cost creature that deals damage on entry!
In casual I feel like Trouble in Pairs is going to be pretty great. I love Rhystic Study but not having to ask the question every spell cast is nice. Just hanging in the background drawing some cards and hopefully you get a blocker or two down in the first 3 turns so you aren't just sitting with this as your only board presence.
Ive played it a couple of times and its drawn me so many cards. The being attacked part is just bonus but I can usually draw a easy 4/5 cards after I put it down.
53:43 But wouldn't the impostor counters "work" after being moved as long as the enchantment is still on the field? That should still cause any creature that dies with an impostor counter it to do the reanimation.
Archdruid's charm is a slam dunk in Titania, Voice of Gaea decks. Reliably gets you your Argoth to meld her with but doesn't become a dead card if you've already found it.
Whoever put flashback on The Prisoner's Dilemma deserves a raise.
Expedited Inheritance is CRAZY GOOD in Faldorn decks.
Rachels comment went right to my soul. On not playing trouble in pairs in your boros angel beatdown deck which is EXACTLY where i put it....
You made the right call. Their take on trouble in pairs was really bad. I would gladly pay 4 mana for a one sided rule of law effect, if people want to try to play around second spells. Otherwise it is going to be a minimum of probably 2 cards per turn cycle which isn't so bad when you consider they all play phyrexian arena.
Oh right and that is all off of 1 of 4 modes that benefit you... Good luck winning the game without attacking me with more than 1 creature or drawing cards
Insidious Roots is already completely insane in my Sek'Kuar deck that banks heavily on skeletons and Nether Traitor. The fact that Sek'Kuar's Graveborn tokens have haste just makes it go infinite with Sek'Kuar, Insidious Roots, a sac outlet and Nether Traitor. Add a Blood Artist of any kind and that's death for everyone.
This sounds like the perfect place for it! Cool!
they are wrong about illicit masquarade because it says creatures with imposter counters on them and not that creature gains.
Also with this one, you get individual triggers for each creature that dies with a counter on it. So (assuming an empty graveyard) you can stack them so each creature targets another one and if you order it in a chain you only lose the creature targeted by the last trigger that resolves.
I.e. You only lose one creature
Insidious roots in the mycotyrant give you an outlet for the 1/1 fungus that can't block. Definitely running those together
Insidious roots in standard is super fun! I love that card a lot.
My understanding of illicit masquerade is that you can in fact return some of the creatures that died in the example of a board wipe because they all go to the cemetery and trigger so you could stack the triggers in a way that the last brings the first etc.
Yes since the exile effect doesn't happen until the ability resolves, you can stack them in a way to save all but 1 creature (and get something else instead).
Creatures A,B,&C of yours die at the same time. You resolve A's masquerade trigger first its exiled, you bring back B. B's trigger resolves next, its no longer in the graveyard so nothing to exile, bring back C and resolve its trigger to bring back another creature that was already in the graveyard. Its because its not a replacement effect but a separate trigger, dauthivoid walker for example says instead, this does not!
Archdruid's Charm in my Marwyn deck is really really good. It has paid off in each game so far. Mana is not an issue so the 3 green is no big deal at all. It gives so much flexibility. Came in clutch several times.
I enjoy the in the 99 episodes even more than the takes on new commanders. Keep going
59:55 Sidisi, guys! The great commander for this card already exists, is Sidisi!
Zombies created with Sidisi will tap for mana. When your reanimate or flashback a creature, you get a plant. If an opponent exiles your graveyard, you will make a lot of plants.
Had to scroll wayyyy too far to see this! It’s a wild add to Sidisi!
I haven't been keeping up with cards for a couple months now, I saw this thumbnail and immediately bought the Gadgeteer, and Novelist for my Izzet Storm artifact based deck. XD
Something that makes reenact the crime a little bit more exciting is that you can choose to reuse any instant or sorcery that was cast this turn, whether by you or your opponents. It’s not quite as good as simply forking it, but it also is way more flexible in the mill/board wipe scenario.
Illicit Masquerade is fun. If 4 of your creatures die, you can bring back 3 of them.
The thing with Trouble in pairs is that in the precon your commander makes it easy for your opponents to draw a second card. On top of that you have the double attack and double spell.
I built a slimes deck with shadowheart/master chef as commander.
It's a pretty amusing deck. Cooking up slimes to draw a ton of cards which gets more slimes and pretty soon your self milling slimes via massive card draw so you sculpting a hand while doing it.
" it's probably one mana too expensive "
Exactly Josh ! Same could be said for many White cards in the past. A bit less now, but it was so often like that before
My friend played trouble in pairs in his Mangara deck and drew SOOOO many cards. He literally always had answers. And he was regularly drawing 3 cards a turn cycle without mangara our.
Archdruids charm is nuts, it does everything pretty efficiently with only minor downside, and tutors for any land! Plus you can search at end step so it mitigates most of it coming in tapped
Insidious roots + new izoni feels good and they come in the same set so you could potentially crack both.
My initial read of Expedited Inheritance is definitely enrage type decks. Brash Taunter, Stuffy doll, Wayta seems pretty good. Also could potentially leverage politics if you have brash taunter out. You can make a deal to fight someone else's creature to help them draw if they're behind
I think its clear they don’t play Golgari/Sultai/Abzan often haha! Insidious Roots is great in:
- Sidisi, Brood Tyrant
- Nethroi
- Tayam
- Karador
- Tasigur
- Meren
Its just a boat load of ramp, because all of these decks want to be removing things from their grave as often as possible.
I love Forensic Gadgeteer in Tetzin. Reducing your craft costs and giving you craft fodder for 3 mana is such a nice play
Insidious roots is better than you realize! Its second ability triggers any time you return a creature from your graveyard to your hand or to the battlefield. My Reyhan, Last of the Abzan/Ravos, Soultender deck is full of recursion and tokens and counters synergy so I might have to find a slot for this
I like how the search menu contained green and white cards in my favourite deck
@1:25:55 if you get a cast a final parting which is a tutor that puts one to your hand and one to the bin you could tutor for reenact the crime and an omniscience or a similarly scary card which seems like a perfect combo
The #1 best use of archdruids charm for a land search is a super niche green deck. Titania Voice of Gaea recquires Argoth, Sqnctum of Nature to be in play and since the charm tutors for any land thats a great way to find it
I added trouble in pairs and Delney to my Sam and Frodo food deck, both of those cards are absolutely bonkers
I dont have a bant deck and now you guys gave me an idea with falco spara and slimes approach 🤣 thanks!!!
Even in a three color deck I always have more forest than everything else, mainly because I have so many ramp cards that say find a forest and I use those to grab my fetchable duals
Definitely gonna slam Unexplained Absence into my Adeline deck, because I always have a spare 1/1 lying around so it's not even a downside that I have to pick some of my own (it even gets upgraded into a 2/2!)
The deck, where Vengeful Tracker shines, is: Jolene , the Plunder Queen.
I will definitely try this. I was considering making a Jolene deck anyway, but with Vengeful tracker, I definitely have to try it.
If I remember correctly, it was the Jolene deck, who won the Streets of New Capenna Game Knights back then. 🙂
Demand answers looks awesome for pauper. It's deadly dispute in red.
I think one of the best unsung cards for Slime Against Humanity is Arcane Bombardment. Exiling more of them from your graveyard doesn't make them any smaller, it just gets you More Of Them.
I have a Boros Angels deck, and Demand answers is actually not replacing Tormenting Voice or Thrill of possibility, but rather Faithless looting. Only discarding 1, and being net 0 at the end is better than discarding 2 and down 1 at the end. It's not a graveyard deck, so having flexibility to do card OR artifact is very helpful.
I'm putting Expedited Inheritance into my Neheb the Eternal group slug/stompy deck. Explosive turns happen all the time and Chandra's Ignition already gives me tons of mana, now it can give me 20 cards too
I made the realization this video that Insidious Roots is absolutely insane in Tayam. It makes creatures tokens, which get a vigilance counter from your commander; it makes a ton of +1+1 counters for Tayam to consume; it's a 2 mana enchantment, so Tayam can recur it; and Tayam likes to do lots of small reanimation, which is probably the best way to trigger it. The card is so uniquely perfect for Tayam that the plants being mana dorks is just pure gravy, which is kinda insane. Definitely going to pick up a copy.
GOD I HAD A GRISMOLD DECK!!! That enchantment definetly goes there!!! Thanks for the suggestion might rebuild him now!
For expedited inheritance, a deck that makes a lot of small death touch tokens would be an advantage. On the defensive side, you could curb how many cars they get, but you'd also could bank with chump blockers, but also become a bigger deterrent for attacking you with big creatures. Might be good in Queen Marchesa deck
Insidious roots is honestly good just for turning creature tokens into mana dorks. If you can actvate the second part with things like scooze or other single card graveyard removal, it seems like a fun engine.
Incidious roots works with Necropotence, btw. Every time you discard a creature, it goes to the graveyard, then gets exiled.
Also Tayam loves this card.
I like when you guys mention infinit combos the best part of mtg
cEDH player here! I would *love* to hear more about Rachel’s briefly mentioned cEDH STAX deck!
I put archdruid's charm in every one of my decks with green, I have not regretted it one but even in three color decks
I really like the card Captains Mauneuver targeting 2 opponents. That allows me to hit one of them (Who probably won't want to block) and deal damage to the other.
in standard insidious roots can go off hard and verz fast too. Mazbe with the Tzvar planeswalker as a commander
Expedited inheritance is pretty sweet in lure / group hug decks. I run Kibo and the game plan is to give away the bananas/ give card draw to incentivize spending the bananas. Then when your turn rolls around you play a lure effect so the opponent impulse draw is limited and you have some big stinky simians
I think Slogurk is a great commander for the Slime deck and the one I’m building. My build has a ton of of self mill which buffs the tokens and having blue for Archmage Emeritus and other spell payouts is great
I played the clue product it was actually pretty fun it puts you into some really weird situations.
Case of the Locked Hothouse is a complete HOUSE in my enchantment deck. There's a total of 7 cards in the deck it doesn't let me play off the top. Drawing enough lands to turn on is no issue.
I just built an Anhelo, the Painter Deck and Prisoners Dilemma would be so much fun in it. Just imagine the mindgames when you would resolve two Prisoners Dilemma back to back
Insidious roots seems like it would go well in my slimefoot and squee deck. constantly making saporilings that can now tap for mana and then be sacrificed to bring things back and make a plants that gets bigger. In theory it could be ok.
Insidious Roots fits so nice in my Mycotyrant deck ❤
Expedited Inheritance is awesome in a Wayta deck, where you wanna let your own creatures fight and it even doubles the trigger, so you will double the amount of impulse drawn cards…
With the Skyguard, if you attack another player and have things enter attacking. Make those enter attacking the Skyguard player. That will get around the Skyguard ability.
One thing that never gets talked about when discussing the playability of Vedalken Orrery is the mana value of the commander. The most common mana value among commanders is 4, and in most of those decks Orrery isn’t worth waiting an extra turn cycle to cast your commander.
I think Expedited Inheritance could be absolutely sick in a Wayta, Trainer Prodigy deck where you're often fighting your creatures against each other to trigger enrage
Got a council of the four deck and I’m all about some of these cards
"Slime against Humanity" might be just to fill out the Ooze Deck.
insidious roots might be good with artifacts/enchantments that have an ability like "exile a card out of a graveyard and put a +1/+1 counter on target creature" (agathas soul claudron?) or the other card where you exile cards out of your graveyard until they are released
archdruid went right into my Galadriel deck. Hell of a cantrip spell off her trigger.
For slime against humanity reyhan, last of abzan is interesting because it put +1 counter of a dying creature on other creature . With a sac outlet only one ooze attacking can suddenly be a big ooze by which can create interesting combat choice, It has partner so slurrk, all-ingesting can double the fun by putting the +1 counter on other creature.
The weeks glazing is insane
I think Expedited Inheritance would be really good in an erage deck/fight deck. Like Brash Taunter, Dinosaurs, or Vrondiss Rage of Ancients etc etc. You would be double impulse drawing if the brash Taunter fought your own creatures.... I think its pretty good!
Wayta, Trainer Prodigy
Slime Against Humanity seems lile its going to be really good in Jarad, who can essentially fling them at opponents. Also chatterfang makes squirrels with counters on em too to grow a board faster. I am super pumped to sling slime around the table
Insidious Roots slots into Golgari Aristocrats. Play it in Baba Yaga or Nemeta, Primeval Warden. Then loop Gravecrawler/Reassembling Skeleton/Bloodghast to make tokens. Especially with Mirkwood Bats and other aristocrats you'll be draining life all day.
Insidious Roots and Mycotyrant are a match made in the grave.
Also really good in Sidisi Brood tyrant mill a creature get a mana dork reanimate a creature get a mana dork
Expedited Inheritance works with trample potentially. Or at least it limits the cards drawn potentially.
Also, enrage decks/brash taunter/stuffy doll.
I pulled insidious roots in the prerelease, and it just seems like it’d be really busted in my Tayam, luminous enigma deck
I feel like insidious roots is so underrated here, I playtested it in Muldrotha, and after just 3 activations (easy in Muldrotha) you get 3 mana dorks that grow almost exponentially bigger
Insidious Roots is fun in Mycotyrant with Oversold Cemetery
I had connecting the dots out on board playing isshin after the cedh player in the lgs shop said it was bad.
I swung with 6 creatures one was a lannery storm
Exiled 12 cards with 4 cards in hand 3 being lands than drew 12 before combat damage.
One of my exiled cards was akroma will which I then cast it with open mana all before blocks
Replaced courser of kruphix with the case of the locked hothouse in my own enhancement deck so that a possible replacement to hide the top
for that experdited inherantance.. play it in a Wayta, trainer prodigy deck and get another upside to your enrage triggers
Prisoners' dilemma in Krark Shakahima would be just great. Lets do it 4 times back to back.
Expedited Inheritance is great in enrage decks. Also Faldorn could make good use of it as the cards played from exile give you extra value. Especially if you play Azusa and friends this can build your board really fast
I need that case of the locked house!!! That is insane
I put Final word phantom in Kadena as the 4th flash enabler. Free spells for days. And together with seedborn muse the value is limitless
On the trail? Also in Kadena 🙃
Mob Verdict really needs flash. It would be hilarious at the end of an end-step, for the entire table to "vote" on a player's actions. Can be done, but pity the card doesn't have it by default.
Supressor Skyguard is like a nearly omni-present fog, that dies to removal. But wow. It helps people dislike your opponent.
That "Cluedo" thing seems really OP for Commander.
Thank you for the alleriteration slip up Josh. When i first heard about this set i thiught it was Markov for ever. When i thought they said "markov manor" on ravnica i was so confused. For like a week
Suppressor Skyguard is one of my fave cards as an Azorius player. It's perfect in my sort of Human/Human Soldier tribal deck that has a HEAVY pillowfort subtheme (protection from noncombat damage and Ghostly Prison effects). But it should be noted that, unlike those effects, the player CAN still attack you and get their attack triggers it just won't deal combat damage. So...if all they need to do is get an attack trigger to trigger some other effect that can advance their wincon, then it definitely goes without saying that Suppressor Skyguard is best played with other pillowfort effects. But I do love the added political dimension of this card! I love the idea of putting someone in a tricky situation where, if they want to hurt me at all, they have to risk pissing off the rest of the table LOL Azorius til death I guess haha
Archdruid’s Charm is an easy swap for beast within in my mono G, Ghalta Primal hunger or Thrun decks. It can’t target a land like Beast Within, but also doesn’t leave my opponent with a 3/3.
Insidious Roots is rocking in my Tayam, Luminous Enigma deck.
Insidious roots goes absolutely nuts in my golgari Tormod the desecrated deck. This just gives me more payoff with plants, while making my zombie army into mana dorks.
