Agreed. I am new to this channel and it's the first thing that stood out to me. Do you know what's the story behind it? Like, he made it himself? And if so, does he create more songs like that?
I really enjoyed this top 50. I agree with a ton of the things you mentioned and was arguing many of these same ideas last weekend at Pre-release. On Wojek Investigator though, in my opinion, he proves his worth in Standard and Draft if you look from the Detective angle. Running a red/ white Angel and Goblin combo using the Detective triggers you can get not only a bunch of Hasty goblins and flying angels, but that Detective characteristic does some really amazing combos with providing all other detectives with pump or there are some instant/ sorcery that gives others haste, flying or lifelink and with other colors there is a vigilance add. I just think the combos with always entering the field creating friends and exiting the field creating little friends these cards remind me of the Commander Decks that use to create a low powered Goblin army and then pump them up once or add something like flying or vigy to them With something like Due Diligence or Call a Surprise Witness and they run all over the opponent. in Standard when you add back your shocks or even Galvanize, maybe a Not On My Watch, its an interesting and fun way to mess with people by laying down littles and clearing all the creatures they pull before they can really get them going. Since Disguise makes 2/2 creatures Shock works just fine on them and keeps your opponent from getting the big boys out too early. If it works out by the time his big gun does hit the field. you are ready to pump your guys and make them fly, or suspected so that even if the block is placed and kills one its the creature who either comes back or sends out a 2/2 friend anyway. Again that is just one of my opinions, so I just mean, I think you are correct in that you will likely reconsider your stance on Wojek Investigator.
51:09 I swear I was exhausted but for due respect I wanted to wait until the end of the video to ask the question. You put the green mana back on the wall right on :)
Your first and second pick sure speaks to my own heart even though I'd swap the places personally : ] To have them both out at the same time and resolve Song of Totentanz will be rather amazing thing to do
I just wanted to say thank you for including talks about commander situations since a lot of your viewers, like myself play predominantly commander :). Very awesome Of you
Correct me if I'm wrong, but split cards count the total mana value of both sides as the cards' mana value. So Push/Pull is 8 towards collecting evidence. Just thought that was worth noting.
Dev I really hadn't time to watch this spoilers season, work is killing me, but I really apreciate the speed run video and this one, so I know what to play by the day set realeases. Thanks for your work!
Persuasive Interrogators; Rakdos, Patron of Chaos; and Izoni, Center of the Web; are some of those cards that could get the most playability in Standard and Pioneer IF Mana Doublers were so common
Hey Dev. Been watching you for years now. Love the content btw. If I could make a suggestion when you do these lists that take all of the formats into consideration, don't forget Pauper. Anytime a powerful common is printed, it should probably be noted. Novice Inspector is a huge boon to that format, as it makes the Inspector Decks that much more consistent. Thanks :]
ahh, green hath returned. the top 3 are definitely worth it. notably the split card you highlighted can be played in mono black in standard which is pretty dumb. i think it would have been something i would have considered in anje commander if it wasnt also white- even at 6 mana thats a house. thanks dev.
Proft Eidetic Memory EDH dream scenario: Proft Eidetic Memory+ Peer into the Abyss/Enter the Infinite+ Walking Ballista= pew pew...now lets not get into +1/+1 counter doubling -Warleaders call is the Ravnica equivalent of if the Juggalos got together against the army LOL ;p
As someone playing Bant toxic in mythic, we don't care about getting lost in the maze. It does not actually trigger Rotpriest because Rotpriest cares about spell targets, not ability targets.
I feel like bartolome makes all these "when you sac a clue" cards ridiculous. Maybe I'm over hyped, but especially with the poison counter one. When that card comes down all you need is 5 clues and bartolome and you win the game at instant speed
He mentioned good removal being in the honorable mention slot and he also didn't mention assassin's trophy so I assume he just included it in the "good removal" section
Demand answers: I think you got bamboozled by the "draw card" part. It happened to me in the past. But if you pay 2 mana and sacrifice a clue to this, you only get to cycle that card for a real card that do something. It have NO value if you do that. sacrificing a blood token... maybe? Discard a useless card? maybe... but sacrificing a clue is not an option, just replace itself. Break out: Not that good, even with 15 two mana creatures, it still have a 17% chance of whiffing. Just to give that creature haste? Yes, I can see it see play in a weird 3 creatures with 2 mana cost that happen to be a combo, but beside that...
It just occurred to me, after playing magic for thirty years now, any card that says "again" (additional) is just good. From now on i will judge cards on if they say of do it again.
Just a thought, but if you broke this video up into three, you could do top 20 for commander, top 20 for standard, and top 20 for draft, reason being that a top 50 mixing it all together becomes less meaningful. Most of your high 40s cards are amazing for commander and questionable or even terrible in standard.
Persuasive Interrogators: Do you even have to pay the 2 mana to sac each clue, or can you just sac them to something else? Also, isn't there something that turns all artifacts into clues??
Nope. It's just straight up "whenever you sacrifice a Clue", hence why he brought up Bartholomei del Presidio. And my first thought on turning stuff into Clues would be Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer.
Still the best intro theme song in the whole community.
I know! Sometimes it makes me want to open fl studio instead of mtg arena haha. Dev is inspiring in many ways
Agreed. I am new to this channel and it's the first thing that stood out to me. Do you know what's the story behind it? Like, he made it himself? And if so, does he create more songs like that?
Fax
True
Besides Reckless detective’ of course!
@Dev, your TMNT shirts make so happy. 0:02
Same 🎉
Doing my part down here, also I love the opening flow. The flowpening if you will.
29:30 That line gets funnier and funnier the more I think about it. Now I want my obituary to say that I triggered Blood Artist.
I agree. Thanks for pointing that out. #same
Dev you're really Rocksteady with the content and your flow is pure Bebop.
51:00
THERE IT IS!!!
I have never been closer to supporting a CZcamsr on Patreon. I have to prioritize other things... A kid... A house, but this is quality content.
You have a great delivery and speak very clearly. Liked and subscribed, well deserved. 👍
Holy crap, a Voltaire reference?! Dev, you just amaze me more with every video. Thanks for all you do in this community.
:( I read this and was hoping for a reference to the French author Voltaire.
Love that Aladdin reference Dev!

Soul Innervation plus Tenth District Hero literally won me a game at my local prerelease, so glad to see the former getting some love.

The theme song gets an auto thumbs up from me every time.
OCD can’t stop looking at the missing Forest picture for the wall.
I just wanted to say thank you for including talks about commander situations since a lot of your viewers, like myself play predominantly commander :). Very awesome Of you
Watching for the puns and jokes. Waiting for Bloomburrow....outlaws might be okay but Bloomburrow is heavily anticipated
You my spirit animal dev

It took me three days to watch the entire video. In my third day I was thinking, “ is he still wearing the same shirt”? Lol
wow that Voltaire song / TMNT shirt combo... you speak to me, Dev!
Can you do a mono-green Standard deck tech? I'd love to see what kind of jank you can come up with!
Entertaining and informative review of some really cool cards. Useful as a player. Thank you!

OMG. The abilities on Trostani aren't in ascending order of cost. WIZARDS WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
Every time with the not very good ping spells. You would LOVE molten nursery
Demand Answers could have a big effect on Pauper, I'm curious what decks it'll find a home in.
I have been waiting for the big one... great job Devmaster
That's what she said.... Giggidy.
Yay! Greens back, so shiny... Oh. Well that probably explains why it was gone. Shine on green symbol. We missed you (I guess?)
I could be way wrong but I don’t think that Lost in the Maze will trigger Rotpriest. It doesn’t target creatures, it’s an ETB effect
Loving the intrigue in these cards! 🕵️♀️🃏
Proft Eidetic Memory EDH dream scenario: Proft Eidetic Memory+ Peer into the Abyss/Enter the Infinite+ Walking Ballista= pew pew...now lets not get into +1/+1 counter doubling
-Warleaders call is the Ravnica equivalent of if the Juggalos got together against the army LOL ;p
As someone playing Bant toxic in mythic, we don't care about getting lost in the maze. It does not actually trigger Rotpriest because Rotpriest cares about spell targets, not ability targets.
When do we get a full length version of the intro song? That’s a bop.
I feel like bartolome makes all these "when you sac a clue" cards ridiculous. Maybe I'm over hyped, but especially with the poison counter one. When that card comes down all you need is 5 clues and bartolome and you win the game at instant speed
Lost in the Maze was the best bomb I played in the pre-release. Won me the game all three times I cast it.
Demand answers has the best-looking art that I've seen on a card in a long time.
I was expecting Helix in the top spot....and it's not even on the honorable mentions...did Dev just forget it existed?
I don't think the mana base is good enough for boros burn
He mentioned good removal being in the honorable mention slot and he also didn't mention assassin's trophy so I assume he just included it in the "good removal" section
Delney is gonna be stupid good in Alesha, that ability means 2 reanimates per Alesha trigger plus mostly unblockable creatures.
Demand answers: I think you got bamboozled by the "draw card" part. It happened to me in the past. But if you pay 2 mana and sacrifice a clue to this, you only get to cycle that card for a real card that do something. It have NO value if you do that. sacrificing a blood token... maybe?

Im glad the green mana is back. I was about to start a go fund me to find it. Hahahaha
Boros' gonna be a pain. I'm maindecking 4 Path of Peril.
Reckless detective not number one? With that theme song? Come on 😊. ”You’re too reckless, detective!”
My favorite joke was at 20:45 😂
Before I opened the video, I was wondering what your thoughts on Delney were going to be. Guess I got the answer.
It just occurred to me, after playing magic for thirty years now, any card that says "again" (additional) is just good. From now on i will judge cards on if they say of do it again.
You're Dev from the place! That's who you are! Not a nobody
what's up dev, looking good in that tmnt t-shirt!
I really thought the HMs were still going when I got out of the shower 13 minutes in and saw Insidious Roots labeled HM.
The 'non-target target' thing is not new, just extremely rare to happen.
I think it’s funny that you have mana symbol portraits for every color but green. What did green do to you??? Lol
How long has the green mana symbol been on the couch instead of the wall and how was I oblivious to it?
Green is back baby!
Twinsies! 10:29
The adventure side of kellen is REAL FAR of being a growth spiral
Profts memory plus a mole god would that proc every “combat”?
Just a thought, but if you broke this video up into three, you could do top 20 for commander, top 20 for standard, and top 20 for draft, reason being that a top 50 mixing it all together becomes less meaningful. Most of your high 40s cards are amazing for commander and questionable or even terrible in standard.
I can't wait for this set... to rotate
Isnt Kayas passive just tailor made with lord skitter ?
he exiles & turns his rat tokens into potential dangers
Case of the stashed skeleton is really cool, and all, but the main reason to play it is to thin a deck.
Yu Narukami at number 1. Knew it had to be him. (I haven’t watched the video yet.)
Anzrag gives me Groudon vibes.
I cannot wait to proc blood artist in real life
I drafted 2 interrogators and got them both on the board exactly once but i tell ya what i won the shot out of that game with poison lol
Great stuff!
Hey dev, how come the green symbol wasn’t on the wall? I’ve got time to listen =)
Love the shirt
Great work, Dev
Good guy Big Mikey
It technically goes on the battlefield before turn 1 or even the game starting.
Kellan also turns every art token into a clue
Lost in the maze is actually good with Hinata. Finally!!
Lost targets on ETB, not cast. So it doesn't work with Hinata.
Black sweeper gonna be the shit
No mention at all of Niv-Mizzet.
Pick your poison is THE CARD for commander.
Yes sir!
Oh! Where is the forest frame in the background?
On the couch.
I stand corrected
Never mind I saw that you put it back on the wall near the end lol
Delney at 1 is the most ascinine thing.
Anzrag and Archdruid charm are standard trap cards
Ring a ding ding you’re a king
I'm amazed you found 50. To me it seems like a very lackluster and forgetable set. But what do I know.
Damn sniped that first view
Reenact the crime can use a breach the mutli verse same turn your opponent uses it 😂
How tf did you find 50 cards to include?!?! This set blows!!!
We don't need h m for top 50. Dude
We're in a Sunfall meta and it just limits so many options from being viable in Standard imo. Sunfall needs to be banned.
Delney + Tomik = WIN?
I mean how is rakdos not rated so much higher? Standard meta decks are playing many more 6 mana or more cards, and theres a rakdos ramp deck
nice
Sigh. The Bell, Biv, DeVoe reference was choice
Persuasive Interrogators: Do you even have to pay the 2 mana to sac each clue, or can you just sac them to something else? Also, isn't there something that turns all artifacts into clues??
Nope. It's just straight up "whenever you sacrifice a Clue", hence why he brought up Bartholomei del Presidio.
And my first thought on turning stuff into Clues would be Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer.
@@weirdo82 I was thinking of Senator Peacock, from the Clue box set. She straight up makes all artifacts you control Clues.
@@V1C10US Ah. I thought you were asking for potential cards that can turn stuff into Clues.
Oh no dev lost his green mana 😢
engagement.
You lost weight, dawg?
I think I'd rather just play a wheel of fortune/fate than Connect the Dots.
❤
