Special guest reviewer.He gave his insight. He said, “Ribbit” translates to play frogs.
Dang this Best in Show guy has got some moves, I couldn't take my eyes off of him 😅
I think Cruelclaw's Heist could work in the sideboard for midrange slugfests. Their plan will be the same as yours, so their best card will be your best card too. It's also a Thoughseize that can still do something in a topdeck war.
Took a break from Magic after All Will Be One, thought I’d poke my nose back in for Bloomburrow and see what your set review said. Glad to see you’re still going strong and everything’s good with family, Jim. All the best ✌️
I love how the squirrels are in black, Golgari squirrels, what a time to be alive
I'm not willing to be down on Sinister Monolith until I get to play with it, because it's basically Ill-Gotten Inheritance, but you get the first trigger right away and you sac it for card advantage instead of a bigger drain...and I remember how much better that card played than it looked.
The thing some of this comment section is missing about cruelclaws heist is that we already have it’s baseline mode in the form of several different cards with a 1B casting cost. And those cards aren’t unplayable but they aren’t great. I put a copy in the board of esper sometimes to help deal with legends and analyst because duress just doesn’t hit enough, but that was a specific meta call. And the difference maker for cruelclaw is I think just actively bad. Like you don’t want your thoughtseize to draw them a card even if you get a card because a card from your opponents deck probably isn’t worth it. And then the BB casting cost on top of it? At best it’s a sideboard piece for a very specific meta.
@20:38 the bad 3-mana murder is almost certainly a key synergy piece for the bat deck in draft, where the ability to trigger your "gained or lost life" effects is nice upside
Season of Loss is best in show. 5 mana win the game in a self mill deck, or wrath, or both players sac 3 I draw 3. The problem with feed the cycle is you can't really play it turn 2, so it's a bad anti-aggro card.
I think if Cruelclaw's Heist DOES end up seeing play, it's in an MBC sideboard. Maybe even sided in vs Aggro, as that's the only time it feels like it's no real downside? Aggro deck plays out their hand, or close to it. You Heist, take their best creature or burn, to smack them in the face. vs Control, you'd rather just have Duress.
Edit: Augur seems safest in Orzhov, which hey, bat colors, so you can balance the double confident life loss with gain.
Edit 2: I love how Lizards are essentially Outlaws. Makes Rakdos Outlaws seem like a potentially nasty deck, especially considering LJF and Hellspur Posse Boss in OTJ.
It's also really cool in 8-rack style decks, because it's a discard spell that doesn't become dead when your opponent inevitably gets empty-handed.
@@sgjuxta It does NOT discard. It exiles.
One thing about Maha that took me a bit to realize - it brings a lot of creatures into Cut Down range, basically anything with 4 or less Power (including Sheoldred)
Glad to see the whole family is better now ❤
The squirrel warlock seems insane for roots
Ribbit 🐸! Adorable 😅. Best part hand down
Couldn’t disagree more on Cruelclaw’s Heist. The agency is the big deal here. Jim mentions giving control a card, exiling sunfall, and being left with a sunfall you don’t want. In that instance, if you know you’re fishing for a sunfall, just don’t gift them a card! That’s the beauty of the option-its floor is just pilfer, which is adequate against control. Against anything else that isnt aggro (and even sometimes then-take your opponents lightning strike and turn it around to use as a removal spell), the play pattern is youre transmuting your opponents best card into a random card from the top of the deck (that is almost certainly worse), and you’re getting their best card to use for yourself. In any sort of resource matchup, that’s a phenomenal trade. Hardly a trap card.
What you are saying is that is it 2 mana draw a bad card make a card in your opponent hand worse. That seems weak.
That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying it’s 2 mana take the best card, leave your opponent the worst card, and know your opponents entire hand. You are actively making your opponents hand worse and your hand better. For two mana. It’s not even that you have to take your opponents best card, you can take the best card for you too! Imagine the scenario Jim laid out-you gift the card, you see their hand, say you see Sunfall and a Three Steps Ahead in there. Obviously Sunfall is arguably the best card for your opponent, but the counter spell is the best card for you. Take the Three Steps and you can ALSO take care of the Sunfall with your handy dandy counterspell.
If you’re presented with the option to make a bad play (I.e. take the Sunfall and be left with a boardwipe you don’t need) or a good play (take the card that your opponent values less but that you value more)… don’t make the bad play. That’s the agency.
@@codybyers2043 In what scenario is a deck playing BB on turn 2 going to hold up counterspell? also I like the card.
@@codybyers2043 yea but if their hand was sunfall land before you cast the card then it was way better to just not gift and take sunfall. And if you draw them into second sunfall it is super bad. The steal aspect is quite weak as the card you are playing is basically look at 7 cards in your opponent’s deck pick one and add it to hand. Which is like the 2 mana draw one of 2 cards from your opponent decks except no flash back
@@swiftdragonrider the edge case of drawing them into the second Sunfall is of negligible probability-besides, they’re drawing into it anyway. The comparison you make of “give them a card from their deck” is nonsensical and missing the point: a random card from their deck is better for you than a definite good card in hand, and changing your hand to be strictly better and their hand to be strictly worse with perfect information is better than a clean one for one.
Rebirth on vaultborn tyrant does seem pretty powerful
Think you may have missed that Rottenmouth Viper’s counters stack. So on attack it will be sac 2 or lose 8 or others and then on next attack even more. Think it’ll be very strong in limited in a green black deck.
Lots of great removal and interesting cards to evaluate in the next few weeks
They were too cowardly to just make Wick say Amass Snails.
It's heartbreaking! I wonder if it gets errata-ed like the "surveil but doesn't say surveil" cards did. I really want to build around it for EDH
A card named 'Wick' should have Amass Kills
Doing the things
on Wick, the Whorled Mind, It's interesting that instead of Amass Snails 1, they spelled it out on a rare card. Could we be seeing them shy away from keyword abilities in Standard sets in order to be more welcoming to newer players? I like this change. I always appreciate rules spelled out rather than so many keywords. It makes the game more accessible to new players when reading the card explains the card.
Darkstar Augur is my best in show, 2 flying Bobs for 4 mana is ridiculously good rate in a deck that will probably pack more than enough incidental or purposeful llifegain.
Can we get some pauper thoughts in terms of the bombin common?
Love the content, would love to see your takes on pauper as a format as well :D
Woooo. Look at all the removal!
Surprised at the bomb in common pick, I would've given it to nocturnal hunger 2B removal. I'm expecting a lot of bomb waiting room stare contests happening in limited, and removal on common is neato. Feel like the 1/3 lizard is an enabler (so you need other payoff cards), and will generally just get double blocked and die after getting in once or twice.
20:11 Flying deathtouch and gains +1/+0 and deathtouch until end of turn? Missprint?
Ok, I misread the "Bats gain...", so the effect triggers also on other bats. 😅
thanks for you work, Jim !
There is some amazing art in this set in general. There are several commons in black alone I want prints of for my house
Season of Loss is a great, versatile card an will see constructed play (and Heist as well, I guess) - mark my words.
I can see sinister monolith enabling a sweet black control deck in limited, with the ridiculous amount of removal black is getting. Pair it with white and you get the life gain/loss payoffs and extra removal.
22:30 "Everybody tuck your pants into your socks." LMAO!!!!!!
Darkstar augur is pretty good we’ve seen how good bob effects in standard recently have been caustic bronco
Boom! Hate and love the 2/2 ravenous rats
Coiling Rebirth seeing play entirely depends on what good non-legendary creatures there are with powerful EtBs available in the format. Vaultborn Tyrant is pretty good, giving you two bodies, 6 life, and two cards, Hoarding Broodlord is a double Demonic Tutor, Hostile Investigator is kinda neat, because if they have few enough cards in hand you can make them immediately discard the card you gifted them, double discover off of Trumpeting Carnosaur seems good...idk. I feel like there's enough options to do something that is at least reasonable 🤷
I think u can run the snake as a one of, in like a Sacrifice Deck… kinda like a Bolas’ Citadel, but worse…
21:23 please just try the names, you've heard osteoporosis before, this squirrel likes bones
Cut Your Losses + Season of Loss won't work in Standard, and it's probably too slow, but that would be fun.
Maha seems like a cool top end for a Massacre Girl deck to make sure all of your minus effects will kill no matter the toughness of the opponent's creatures. It's not a meta deck, but it has been a fun deck in Standard for an FNM power level.
Would be fun with Elesh Norn too in older formats
I'm crushing hard on Cruelclaw.
Squirrel warlock, i'am sold.
So a minor critique. You mentioned before how hard it was to get threshold, and how narrow some of the recursion is, yet you seemed to have downplayed the amount of self mill in black in this set. I could be wrong, but this might be a possible archetype in limited.
Ribbit!
Osteomancer could be good in an insidious roots deck
Hyped for this set it seems to be a bit faster than mh3 which I’m stoked for
Feels like Jim really don’t like “play your opponent’s cards” effects
Nuts that I spent $20 on a playset of heroes Downfall 10 years
Should have your little guy with your, he could have gave his opinions too.
Osteomancer Adept + Witch’s Oven + Gravecrawler -> ValueTowm
Bronze to mythic starts on a Tuesday? Are they still Monday Wednesday Friday for release dates?
Awesome video, love the content keep it up!
OK. I don’t see it. So even if you get their counterspell, you have to leave up mana to cast a counterspell they know you have.
Osteomancer Adept + Nesting Grounds = Profit?
i am just here for the algorithm
Big fan Jim, but I bet you $100 Heist becomes a Standard staple. No downside.
The downside is that 2 mana to Thoughtseize is an atrocious rate
And it seems like you will always wan them to draw so you have more options.
@@cannonspectacle5195 Except this card let's you play their card. Often their best card in their opening hand. What you and Jim fail to appreciate is that there most certainly is something in their hand that is both crippling for them to lose, and useful for you to use. They draw before you take. Comparing to Thoughtseize misunderstands this difference.
@moosehunter248 But why would I want my opponent's cards? Their cards are designed for their game plan, not mine.
Dont even remotely agree, prove us all wrong and win big w it
Remember when you thought Sheoldred was bad?
I. Support. You.
I’m just here so I don’t get fined.
Beep boop hello Mr Algorithm please give Mr Streamer more beep boops
I disagree on cruelclaw's heist. Late in the game you draw from the top of their deck.
The problem is if they have a land on top, you draw them a card and you get nothing for your card and 2 mana, which is game losingly horrible, and if you hit a spell it's just the first half of siphon insight except you only get the top instead of choosing from 2 which is medium at best, making the average rate for using it when the opponent is empty-handed pretty bad.
Of course cards like pilfer do nothing if they're empty-handed too, I just don't think the chance to hit something makes it meaningfully better when there's also a chance the card actively loses you the game.
Late in the game you maybe draw from the top of the deck, maybe draw them a land. That's still not good.
@@Wulfram77 Drawing them a land late game is not going to matter late game. Otherwise you take the card they drew.
@@kmp101 drawing them a land late game matters because you're drawing them closer to a spell
@@Wulfram77 How do you define late game? Anything after turn 5 is late game and by then you have the lands you need.
Ag-et , not A-gate
It's a gemstone, not a door
22:15 is how I know that you're 40
Just put Maha and Toxicrill together and lose all of your friends!
A lot of these cards will make the most obnoxious decks in Constructed even more aweful. Can't wait for the fun of never having any cards in my hand or creatures on the board. It's like watching a very boring Let's Play instead of playing yourself. Yay.
