Thank You.
I wanted to upload something for the end of the year, but I kept getting frustrated while trying to make it. So, I decided to just say thanks. I ramble a lot in this video, but I hope I got my point across lol.

As a new player transitioning from mtga to physical it's really interesting to see new cards and how they might interact with others that I never even knew about. I only started watching a month ago but I really enjoy your content. If it's not too much of a bother could you take a look at the few cards available for Niko? Regardless you have my viewership ♥️
@@20Abird ooh, Niko is a commander i’ve looked at many times… I dunno if it’d come out any time soon, but if I ever made a deck with them I’d definitely post it :)
I love your tumblr and I've been loving your videos even though I haven't been super into mtg recently
Hey, I'm new here but I'm a big fan of your tumblr and I've been loving the youtube content. I happy to keep watching as long as you are happy to keep making them.
Have you listened to The Magic Mirror podcast with The Trinket Mage? It would be so cool if you could get a guest spot there at some point
@@A-Legitimate-Salvage I have not! I’ll check them out :)
I love mtg tips on tumblr :D your sarcasm and comedy is hilarious <3
@@telekin13 Aaahh thank you!!
I missed about 80% of the new cards for the last three years or so because they are printing too much and I am overfed.
If you have death touch, then all creatures are small to bite effects...
okay this card looks great and i had indeed not seen it before
Contest of Claws is nice. If you're playing Yargle and Multani like me, you don't care what your kill, because you're still getting a pretty big discover trigger lol
@@SwedeRacerDC that’s certainly a good commander to play it with!
@gemtg42 I mean, who can be afraid of a 6 mana vanilla creature? That's like worse than those awful old legends that did basically nothing for 6 mana, right? Don't worry about what I'm doing over here. I can't hurt you 😅 It's still a work in progress, but he gets trample and swings for lethal very easily
Rhonas the Unreadable hahaha!!
@@sentientwaffle535 I thought I was pretty funny for that one, lol. Love the art of the card, the frame, all that. But I wish they used a more legible font.
oooh that's a nifty card
Hell yeah, finally a Dee Kay buddy that builds it the same exact way I built mine :D Dimir Attraction Flicker Artifacts Matter is just an archetype that nobody has on their bingo card. I'm currently reworking mine. I didn't run clones yet but it's a very good idea.
@@VoiceOfSilence99 The clones are definitely a very solid addition, like Phyrexian Metamorph can also copy important artifacts, and Auton Soldier is just an attraction producing machine. Would absolutely recommend!
This was fun. I like hearing how cards appear to newer players. I wasn't surprised that Soul of Theros read strongly because everything about it is big and it doesn't take additional context to understand that. Nadu and Skullclamp reading as only good make sense for the same reason because it takes knowing other cards to realize how easily their effects can be achieved. It's a good lesson for me in how to explain card quality to newer players.
@@mslano Good points - I didn’t even think of that! Makes a lotta sense though.
awww really cute video! and Panglacial Wurm is exactly the kinda thing i would run back when i did more green decks. playing it from library is exactly the kinda goofy nonsense id adore
The pinnaclle of romance
The Nadu second card hahaaa 😭😭
I really wanna put brotherhood regalia in bartolome del presadio / lurrus of the dream den
You forgot winged boots
Brotherhood regalia being lesser played is certainly a take when it's one of the most popular cards from the ACR set
@@franslair2199 Yeah, it’s a bit of a stretch I’ll admit lol. I mostly just wanted to talk about it.
Wild, never seen these! Thanks!
@@levelhumor2nd790 both of the sets they’re from were massively overlooked imo - the Doctor Who commander decks and the Assassin’s Creed mini-set. I feel like a couple of the big flashy cards in WHO, like Everybody Lives! and City of Death, overshadowed some of the more interesting pieces, while in ACR’s case everyone wrote it off too early as nothing before really considering the cards it had.
Psychic paper is a tailor-made perfect fit for Gollum Obsessed Stalker.
I0d really like these type of cards to be more popular. They are absolute flavor win!
Can you equip your equipments to your opponents creatures? If you can, theoretically, with Psychic paper you could equip one of your opponents creatures, and name their commander! Make them sac the creature or sac their commander!
@@jamesespinosa690 Unfortunately, you cannot do that. Equipments can only be equipped to your own creatures.
That would only work if both creatures were legendary, but that's an awesome idea!
@@gemtg42Thats actually incorrect! They can absolutely be equiped to your opponents creatures. It's just not reasonable to do, or very feasible most of the time since equip abilities of equipment can only target your creatures. One example is the card Magnetic Theft, attach any equipment to any creature. You can put their equipment on your creatures, your equipment on their creature, or anything in between.
@@dlion0734 Ah right, forgot about those. I was just talking in terms of normal equip costs.
@@gemtg42 Fair, with equip abilities you can't, but there's exceptions to almost everything in Magic 😂
I could be wrong, but i think there are a suite of cards thay care about Rouges, assassins and ninjas that are playable so it might just be also part of a synergy stack?
Yes! Also, assassins are part of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Outlaws batch, so there could be relevance there as well.
It's mono blue notion thief. I forgot about this card, was really neat to see
When I use it my friends auto concede. They are just too salty about it.
It's won me a game once when I was able to see a boardwipe coming from a mile away and spend my next two turns prepping for it, ensuring that when it finally hit the board, I had rifled through my deck to ensure I had the perfect collection of cards in hand to get right back up and running on my following turn.
MTGTips out in the wild! Glad to see you getting recommended!
Just finished watching the video - I personally really like what telepathy does, and I occasionally just jam it in some random blue decks because I really like (and probably overvalue) the extra information it provided. I haven’t noticed being targeted over much, but I am putting it in less decks going forwards for two reasons: 1) It can be physically annoying to manage, as players either have to hold the cards so everyone can see, or they have to put them on the table where everyone can see which can be confusing for the board state and/or there might be space contraints. 2) there is a slight increase in feel bads; you’ve heard of getting got by onboard tricks - only slightly less awful feeling is getting got by a kill/counter/some other interaction spell that you “knew” was in their hand. A commander game can be hard to keep track of at the best of times, but then you (and everyone else) have to also keep track of hands as well as permanents. I still hold a deep love of cards like these alongside Lantern of Revealing, but in commander I might finally admit they’re a bit much lol. Thanks for the vid, glad to hear your thoughts. I hadn’t thought about the group hugs aspects to encourage politic’ing, that’s really cool!
Telepathy is fun... but it makes you a big target, out of spite
Hey nice video and discussion. Thanks! Could you leave the cards on screen longer? I keep having to pause and rewind the video to read them because I don't know a lot of these cards. Thanks!
You got it!
@@gemtg42 Thanks! I don't think you have to take the card down the second you think you're done talking about it. We're still reading it :)
@ I’ll keep that in mind. I definitely am still learning about how to make videos lol
I did a budget deck on this commander as well. I really like how you explain how the commander works. I found that one of the most difficult parts in covering it. Having the actual board play out what you are saying makes it much clearer. Nice!
@@NerdinKorea Thanks! It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to do that, I thought the visual would be helpful. Glad it is!!
It’s a BS card
@@blackerpanther3329 Lol, it does feel that way sometimes
Let noone elses work evade your eyes.
Playable effect, sick art, 10th Edition frame is modern looking enough, this one is truly a gen. Straight to my To Buy list.
@@MidoriNatsume I forgot to mention the art!! Definitely crazy good.
Here's a better card for 4 cmc in blue that effectively reads "sorcery, target player scoops", parallax wave, remove all it's counters at once and suddenly it's return trigger goes off before it exiles 5 lands of choice.
Fading is templated such that you sacrifice it the turn after all the counters are gone, so that won’t work sadly. You can blink the card for the same effect though
@lawrencehu7654 real and im stupid
Definitely awesome in group hug decks and I wouldn't discount its ability to just cut a player off of their draw for the turn. Your vampiric tutor was pretty cool, but you're not getting that card yet. My favorite underplayed card is probably Titania's Song. It solves so many problems and completely eliminates my biggest pet peeve of token bloat. No more treasures/clues/food!
@@TheFirstJake Might have to put that in a deck myself… got some annoying artifact decks running around my playgroup.
I feel like I haven’t seen enough archdruids charm in the world. It can remove almost anything with its different modes, can exile the enchantment gods before they’re creatures, and can tutor for important creatures or lands in your deck if you don’t need the removal. What deck does this card NOT pop off in?
@@Bleach_Man Lots of good points! I almost feel like I don’t even need to make a video on it now lol, I can just direct everyone to this comment.
it's also a bit of an answer to rhystic study if you know a player is going to pop off, or if you want to cast a bunch of spells to draw off of all of them
The only problem with this is that rhystic is a may draw so technically they could say they won't draw so you don't draw
I dig it -- will look for a copy.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this card needs to be run more often!
@@RoederArts Hell yeah! There are dozens of us!
do more dimir commanders, i love your videos!
@@wawaki1153 I certainly will at some point, just need to build more dimir decks lmao.
This deck looks sweet! What sleeve(s) did you use to sleeve the commander?
If I knew what it was exactly I'd tell ya, but I didn't buy it myself, it was used to protect a single I ordered in the mail. The inner sleeve is a DragonShield inner though, the outer sleeves for the rest of the deck are DragonShields as well.
@@gemtg42 Nice, I love DS too; big fan of their dual mattes. Thx!
Cry more
At the end of the video you said these will be limited print. I did not know that and want to make a new rule: if a card is from a limited set or product, it's not legal in a casual game.
That’s stupid
Can't wait for Black Panther to show up in a Universe Within product because I have a high disdain for Marvel and for these cross overs in general. Write good stories! Stop cramming new versions of old heros into random places. Some of the Universe beyonds make sense, like D&D, LOTR and Warhammer, ngl, but Marvel, Transformers, The Walking Dead, Stranger Things etc. ... please stop.
@@danielvanginkel7081 I can see where you’re coming from, yeah. It does seem like they’re pushing Universes Beyond a little harder than they really should. But, tbh, I’ve mostly been having fun with them, I think that the wacky designs they inspire are good for the game and can lead to more creative sets going forward. I’ll probably make a video someday breaking down my full thoughts on Universes Beyond, cause there’s a lot to talk about, but for now I’ll just say I think the Walking Dead secret lair was a huge misfire (hot take I know) and they really shouldn’t have revealed the Universes Beyond branding alongside it, cause I think that’s what soured most folks on the whole thing.
