Awesome! Was it a 1/1?

If only prereleases weren't so expensive now. I used to go to them, they're pretty fun, but I just can't justify spending £30 on an evening, before factoring in food and drink. It's a 50% upcharge on boosters that already aren't really worth their price tag.

Don’t advocate for any bans! I hate cancel culture!!!

Think WOTC said they are reprinting it soon. So doubt that will happen.

I havent bought a sealed mtg product in like 10 years and still wont

The One Ring needs to be banned in non spinoff formats for sure.

Mark my words: The One Ring will be reprinted as a chase card in either another LotR set/printrun or a Masters set in the next 6 months. Then it'll be banned within 10 months after.

I quit magic many years ago…… Commander is basically an unofficial format anyways, so just ignore the ban list 🤷🏼‍♂️

LOTR universes beyond sold well on its own right. Not just because the one ring card. LOTR fandom bought in.

Congratulations, Commander is now a rotating format! I'm sure WotC has planned this for a while now... gotta push those new cha$e card$! (Infinity Stones? Infinity Gauntlet?) It'll be Moxen 2.0! ... and they'll ban it after a year or so to clear the runway for the next rotation.

The One Ring is definitely a cosideration. But, in my opinion it's not nearly as strong as dockside or mana crypt. Reasonable take nontheless.

After being assessed that The One Ring is less important than originally thought for it to be included in every deck, especially for turbo decks that are pretty much as fast as they were before the bans (RogSi I am looking at you), that is in no way as problematic as having thoracle still legal. It's pretty much as every dimirless color identity has been nerfed, all at once, while a combo that doesn't require any of the banned pieces has been preserved. And don't mention dockside because dockside is dead weight while going for turn two wins. Always has been. Thassa's Oracle is entire orders of magnitude more problematic than TOR right now, furthermore costing more mana by itself than the entire Thoracle combo. Wanna draw cards at a casual table? A Consacrated Sphinx will outdraw a TOR any day of the week. Cheers and thanks for the video, healthy debate is what the format needs now to thrive in such uncertain times.

did it sell well? you work in a card store you should know... your takes are bad and you should feel bad

It will never happen to a card that is serialized as the front of a set! Fast mana has been on the RC's radar for quite some time! Sheldon even spoke against people investing in jeweled lotus when it was printed in a star city games article!

orcish bowmaster can go too yepyep

just unban everything

BEST TAKE on the topic I've heard so far

I kinda agree with all the bans because I never played it but Ive played aganist those type of players who curb stomp with those cards in casual and the one ring is definitely up there as well, rule 0 doesn’t really exist to the extent most people think it does at lgs, and new players just wanna play, im happy for a little bit of shake up in the meta also I would say sol ring shouldn’t be banned because its in every precon

The Infinity Gauntlet is just going to be a renamed "The One Ring".... Calling it now.

problem with that sol ring comment is the fact that it is in basically every single precon... if they ban sol ring then they make every single commander deck unplayable out of the box and thats just not a good look for wizards

My Green Tron has x4 1 Ring I had to buy x4 Fat pack/Bundles to get them costing me $110 per box, If they ban the 1 Ring that will be the final straw in my world.

fix your hairline and shush up.

Rule 0, who cares. Watc needs to keep out of commander. STOP MAKING CARDS FOR COMMANDER AND LET US HAVE FUN!

The goofy expansions are what people want. They might not say it but it brings in casual players which is good for everyone, WOTC,LGS and players who are attending tournaments and the new or casual players.

That Stockton is fire!! 🔥

don't ban anything in commander, can we all please stop!

The problem is wizards, stop blaiming the committe, you are toxic, wizards is the one printing overpowered cards, cards only for 1 format, bad designed cards, wizards milks you.

The trouble is we don't know their methodology for banning. We have some vague words from them about the general philosophy and that's all. What quantitative metrics does a card have to meet in order to warrant a ban? Without knowing that, it's difficult to make purchasing decisions.

Montasy man express 😏

This decision definitely erodes my confidence in holding high profile cards. Mana crypt was never used in causal as rule 0 took care of that. Same with jeweled lotus. Dockside was most likely a mistake. They made it more powerful than they understood. Nadu is just unfun value engine. But now my two cEDH decks just make me feel like I can get “had” next time. No thanks. I’m just gonna exit those cards

holy cheetos sweet cards

Hehe hi Adam! What a funny coincidence to see a fellow highschool mate on my TH-cam feed.

Thank you for making this video!!

I remember at the nemesis pre-release, you could always tell when someone had drawn a split card, when they took a beat to rotate their head sideways to read what they'd drawn 🤣

Flesh and blood losers

Money is the true purpose of a MTG prerelease. Making shitloads of money.

Prerelease is an amazing time to try and get, and or trade for new cards i want to upgrade a commander deck.

Well said👍

Not how it works. Magic is going go die with me. Hasbro has already decided. All the new players are lobotomized little pokemon freaks.

If I'm being honest I've played every year since 1994. 2-3 years ago I all but gave up on trying to learn and understand new mechanics because there's 10 new sets per year.

It has literally been a month since Bloomborrow.

Did always had your left eye going outwards alone? If not you might want to have it checked. Take care

went to time in my first game last time I went to a prerelease and haven't gone to another 😂

Pre-Release is one of the few times stores can get Commander players to spend money for sealed product.

Love prerelease, confused on how making a new player build a deck is welcoming

Yo this dude is a white Ice T

Basically a new release is another cash grab these days. Pump and dump

At this point in Magic I'd assume the point of pre releases is to trade for Commander staples.

Well said! I agree completely, particularly the point about sharing your love of the game with newer players. I teach dancing, and I love sharing the joy of dance with newer dancers.

Standing ovation. No notes. I love Prereleases.
