So I'm a noob, and I apologize for this ignorant question. When your enemy has infinite turns, is there a card that stops that loop, and if so what is that card?
Prof- The whatnot link is showing me ten dollars credit, not $15
this should be fixed now
@@TolarianCommunityCollege That website seems scammy. They really want your private information, and they act very scalpers like. Will pass. Does TCC sell on this site?
Top three are all from the monoblack necron deck
Wow, a product being Hella expensive due to lack of continuous production?
This truly is a accurate 40k mtg crossover
As a 40k player, this is 100% ture.
Only the collector's versions are getting a limited run. WotC said they plan to print these decks for the foreseeable future. The professor clearly recorded this video before hearing that statement, and didn't update the video accordingly. Pleasant Kenobi's video about these decks however does mention WotC's statement on the print run for these.
To truly hit that 40k sweet spot, then need to change the core rules in 12 months time and invalidate half the cards completely.
Yall didn't learn this the hard way back in the booming Commander tests introducing to us Timely Wisdom with a huge spike, ofc you can have most of these cards somewhere else, as in sets, but cheap is not a word I would use for those Fierce Guardianship and Dockside.
Y'all talking as if reprints always = cost less or as if those Precons were not available any more? Sure the price went from 275$ to 400$ CAD over here for the 4 pack, but still available for a relatively fair price for late buyers (yes you are, we knew this was coming a long time ago in the last 2 months especially)
Serves right the sore losers that lost their bet again or realized how wrong they were to think the decks were gonna just be mid when the Face Commanders were spoiled 2MONTHS ago.
Thinking they had the luxury to just wait and see how it goes. You gotta be an early buyer or get over the sour grappes that you slept on it.
That's why i love 40K but hate the game
The best part of the video is when professor said "it's profing time" and profed all over viewers
Truly one of the reviews of all time
8:07 for future references
Oh nooooo
Why is this comment popular?
Isn't it kinda generic?
I was wholeheartedly expecting it to be the 3nd like this and get like 2 likes
I loved how he said there was 4 decks but held up 5 fingers.
My favorite part was when the Professor said "It's commandering time" and proceeded to command all over the bad guys. Truly one of the most magic of all time
I haven't watched this yet but I'm going to be very disappointed aren't I
@@dawildbear Well if you are, it would be very fitting given the origin of that particular meme.
@@dawildbear Yep.
Anyone else love when Prof said "four of these decks" while holding up five fingers. 10/10 Prof :)
This is almost definitely the best cycle of commander deck WotC’s made, right?
Like, everything from the play styles of the different factions to the art to the overall card power seems as close to perfect as it gets.
No, these decks are all terrible, exxecpt for maybe the necrons.
As someone whose a massive 40k nerd. I am excited to see how Prof defines these things for 40k cards and how they work. This'll be funny
G'day from Australia Prof! Just want to say thank you for reintroducing me into the MTG universe. Stopped playing around 2009 and browsing TH-cam I came across one of your videos when the Baldurs gate set came out. Have loved every moment of diving back into the MTG Universe and I have you to thank. Without your video I wouldn't have met and made so many new friends. Appreciate you and your work, thanks!
Wait, you're the Australian Professor? What's that?
@@TheSpiritombsableye lol i think he meant "G'day from Australia, Prof"
I'm surprised Herald of Slaanesh (demon cost reduction and haste in red, yes please), Toxicrene (great for 5 mana decks while also disrupting some extremely powerful lands that exist in the format), Shadow in the warp (burn, and cost reduction competitively priced in gruul colours, yes please) as well as Kellermorph (that thing is going to be a pingers staple) didn't make your list
Yeah for some reason he instead picked Lord of change instead. A boring card that if you are planning to pay 7 for I recommend you cut. For blink decks I would not pay 2 more mana for 1 more card.
Those just sound like your favorite cards and not the best ones.
@@Kristjan0209 I think the real issue with Lord of change in blink decks is that it's ETB seems very enticing but this card gets worse in a lot of ways when your deck is capable of doing infinite blink triggers because at that point a creature that draws a single card will effectively do the same thing at a much reduced initial cost.
@@ix8750 even if you don't go infinite he is still not worth it since playing a lot of cheap etb cards is a lot more effective and more consistent
Canoptek Tomb Sentinel doesn't work with cards that cast from the graveyard like Karador or Emry, because if you cast it, it ETBs from the stack, not the graveyard.
yah I was thinking bout that, but I think It can still perform really good with the other bunch of cards in those decks that can reanimate the canoptek and direclt put it into play from graveyard.
A necessary errata to adress nontheless.
@@wirdoasymmetry sure, but you can do that in any reanimator strategy.
I play Muldrotha but right now I don't have many classical Reanimate effect, so the Sentry would be weak
Okay I came here to say this. It's a nonbo when cast from the GY.
It outright doesn't work with *most* of his suggested methods. Problematically, because he's the Professor, we're going to be correcting people over this for the next year and a half and they're going to say, "But the Professor said it worked!"
@@TemporallyAnarchaic the Phyrexian Dragon Engine they just spoiled has the same issue 😅
I can feel the prices rising as the Prof explains how good those cards are.
The card i was most excited for was Biotransference. Making every creature in my deck artifacts and a token generator? Straight into my Silas Renn/Rebbec deck.
The deliberate mispronunciations, the morbin memes, this video is perfect. Im calling my army the "Custard Toads" from now on
As a die hard 40K and MTG fan, I love every mispronunciation the Prof made! The Custodes will now forever be known as the "Custoads" to me and my friends.
I like the idea of balanced commander cards that reward deck building choices that are falling behind competitively. Tier zero is dominated by four and five color commanders. Scepter of eternal glory might do what cards like Ruxa and companions should have done in making a bigger impact on the format. hopefully we’ll see more diversified tier zero and tier one decks.
You probably won't see diversified tier 0. They rely on color gumbo for combos, and anyone that has less than 4 colors has a very specific infinite combo(s) that that commander is capable of.
These decks weren't built though,they are precons!
I like the part where Prof said, "stand back, I'm about to prof" and then he proffed.
Also hearing Prof pronounce Custodes...
Heresy! Heresy!
It is nice that the first and seventh cards on your list can pretty much be reprinted whole-cloth.
No trademarked creature types and fairly generic sounding names
It'd be nice if they just did a functional reprint of these as a set of commander deck in normal magic flavour
I’m buying all 4, I love the theme and flavor of all of them. It’s like Starcraft to me, it may even get me to play warhammer, which is the point I guess.
I'd just recommend reading some of the books. Playing the game isn't bad but can be pricey for the actual 40k format, kill team is is a nice middle ground though price wise
Fun fact: Starcraft is a copy of Warhammer 40k so there are tons of similarities.
The Warhammer tabletop is expensive but if you want to get into the world, I'd suggest getting the game "Dawn of War" on PC. It's how I got into it when I was younger and you can spend hours building sweet armies and waging massive wars.
I typically cannibalize precon commander decks, but I don't think I can bring myself to do that with these. What a dilemma!
Buy two copies of each, expensive but still...
I’ve been brewing up an Abzan Enchantress/Mill/Go Wide with Biotransference and Out of the Tombs. It’s janky as all get out but abusing the ‘may draw a card’ and ‘gain 1 life’ triggers to flood out with 2/2 necrons that get bolstered to the Warp and back by a Nylea’s Colossus. Such fun
Love the classic phaser prof, but in 40k semi auto 35mm depleted uranium core grenade launchers are the go to. Unless your in the guard, in which case you get a flashlight.
That's not a classic phaser, that's Next Generation, I had one of those when I was a kid! That was only...
*counts*
... oh *no*...
@@kanashiiryuu It may just be a me thing, but I tend to split trek as classic is releases pre Kelvin movies, and new being post releases. It even splits the number of series neatly in half lol
Great analysis, there are a lot of exciting cards in these precons. I'm definitely looking forward to playing big green stompy battleship magic with the Tyranid Swarm deck. They all look cool but Tyranid Swarm is my favourite, looking at the decklists. I'm hoping that the huge jump in quality of the precons here is indicative of a similar quality increase with the yearly EDH precon releases.
Also, if you'll hear me out I can educate you on the pronunciation of some of the unique words on these cards:
Vexilus: vex-ILL-us
Custodes: cuss-TOH-deez
Astartes: əs-TAR-teez
Canoptek: can-OP-tek
I'm surprised The Golden Throne didn't make the list. I've been excited about the potential of the card since the Forces of the Imperium deck contents were announced.
Great in the right deck, but the floor is low. After a board wipe it does (almost) nothing. Doesn't have as much combo potential as the altar because it taps, but that might be a good thing because it's less of a must-destroy target. It's definitely a worthy inclusion in the right deck. My copy will probably end up in Kykar.
Blood for the Blood God! is going to my Extus, Oriq Overlord. Been waiting this card to release for months by now. I can sac 8 creature for the Sorcery side of Extus and then nearly freely cast DftBG! That is nearly winning play.
I've been a Warhammer 40k fan since I was 17 and with it costing me over $300 CAD to get the four decks. The stores near me aren't selling them solo so I'll probably never get to have the decks based in my favourite universe.
my main problem with this set, is having Gameworkshop Trademarks as creature types, makes having magic skins even more annoying/difficult.
@10:08 Muldrotha does not work with Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - a nonland card being played is cast, and creatures spells are put on the stack before they enter the battlefield.
See Rulings: Flayer of the Hatebound
Funny enough, all the cards he showed on screen at that time (Muldrotha, Silas, and Emry) all run into the same problem. I think there was a fundamental misunderstand about how the sentinel works
@@tylerespinoza1282 we all just wanted to believe that it works differently and it's more interesting than glorified Meteor Golem
10:45 Articulating the silent _a_ in _aeon_ even when it's not present. Bold move.
mtg has two space sets on both ends of the scifi spectrum
"Fun scifi retro theme" and "death is better than living in this"
Best part of the video was the ST TNG phaser!!!!! Being a trekkie makes the Professor even cooler.
Prof., I know you're behind on the times, but AMA stands for "ask me anything" not "ask me all". Love the content. Don't get too old.
These cards/decks do seem powerful, but not picking them up, probably not worrying about singles either. I have no problem with the IP, it's not for me, but I'm glad others are supper excited about them. If playing magic/commander has taught me anything it's to be patient, something that newer/more powerful/appealing to me will be just around to corner, so I can sit this one out.
00:25 How many precons are there again? lol
0:25 You really got me questioning if I've been mathing wrong this entire time, Prof. I'm too tired for this shit rn LMAO xD
I got my order for all 4 decks in collectors edition reserved at my lgs, it costs me a pretty penny but it's worth it. As an old Warhammer fan these are a home run on flavor and design. At least the decks are cheaper than my titan...
I would think that the normal commander precons could be an easy place to do mtg themed reprints.
like hull breach I want that art instead of the old one I have.
Wait is that suit jacket purple? Purple, Orange and Green? Professor wearing Joker colors for Halloween? Fabulous just fabulous.
My greatest frustration is that they could have done Warhammer Fantasy but didn't. I'm grateful for what we got, but gosh dang it. I just want to play Nagash or Settra in a card game!
Fantasy is dead, long dead, they could have done aos
@@jtowensbyiii6018actually fantasy is coming back
Canoptik tomb sentinel doesn’t work with Karador. With Karador you cast them from the graveyard so they enter the battlefield from the stack.
Great video but I think you’re incorrect about the Scepter. If I was to build a mono coloured deck, I would much more likely resort to Tharn Dynamo over the scepter. If I’ve already acquired 3 plains, I doubt I would be struggling to pay for the coloured pips of my spells, where as getting. 3 colorless mana would let me cast the same MV of spells, and it wouldn’t care if I was playing some utility lands. There’s probably a case for this card in devotion decks, but I would want 70% of the mana required for the deck to be coloured.
You might want both tho
0:28 there are 4 of these precons- holds up 5 fingers
If Vexilus Praetor ever got magic-fied with the Knight keyword I would probably die on the spot from sheer excitement
I think they dodged a lot of tribal options on purpose. Celestine could have been an angel, but isn't.
Reprints never change what the card actually does. If it's magic-fied he'll still be a custodes warrior.
Sceptre of Eternal Glory feels really like a worse Thran Dynamo to me. It performs best in a monocolored deck, but with a mono colored deck you'll not exactly going to be in a pinch for colored mana. It's only really to have access to other colors, when you control some permanents of your opponents with activated abilities and similar scenarios. Sanguinary Priest is a worse version of Falkenrath noble. Falkenrath noble doesn't have lifelink but gives you 1 life whenever it pings. Also triggers when enemy creatures die and has evasion and is a potenrial blocker for a big flyer in a pinch. And falkenrath noble is not a card I put in my aristocrats deck, there's lower cmc options that do the job. I prefer to keep higher impact cards for the 4 cmc slots.
Or like, in budget kriik and some other corner cases.
Don't get the hype myself too
Its ridiculously frustrating after promising players in universe reprints of the secret lairs, suddenly we are getting full commander sets and such. Thank you for your continued efforts to speak for all of us who actually treasure the flavor of magic, even if wizards lost the script for the sake of money.
Yeah I think I'm out of commander except with my small friend group. I just can't keep up anymore and don't want to deal with learning 50 new cards every time I sit down at a random table.
In regards to Canoptek Tomb Sentinel, effects that let you cast cards from your graveyard like Muldrotha or Karador will not trigger it’s ETB because it’s entering from the stack, not the graveyard
What
@@csof5275 when you cast a creature it always enters from the stack when it resolves. It doesn’t care about where it was cast from
"There are FOUR of these commander precons."
*Prof holds up 5 fingers 😂
I just want to say that... if you cast a card from a graveyard, it doesn't enter the battlefield from the graveyard. It enters the battlefield from the stack.
very good point
That is going to be fun to explain to someone who thinks they just pulled off a cool combo.
Prof, that exclamation point on "Blood for the blood god!" Is there for a reason! Definitely needs MORE emphasis when said.
*holds up 5 fingers*
"THERE ARE FOUR NEW COMMANDERS"
Actuallly it's Custodes as in CustoDEEZ....is a very good video, thank you Prof!
The thing that really bothers me is how these precons had an insane amount of thought and attention when compared to the normal precons we usually get.
Also some of the reprints have been asked for by players for years and now in the very first premium commander product we get them? Kinda scummy if you ask me. Is there any reason why Talisman of Progress missed the many WUX precons we’ve received over the last couple of years or is it due to WOTC’s concern that precons would be “scalped”? Why does that concern not apply here all of a sudden?
wow thanks for making this prof! I hadn't even heard of most of these cards until you showed them off! I'm now considering picking up the canoptek tomb sentinel for my Tameshi commander deck!
I was lucky an able to preorder whole set of the collectors edition at $350 early summer . Received them last week and I love them
the tomb sentinel doesn't work with silas, muldrotha, or emry. using their effects let you cast it from your graveyard, meaning it is entering the battlefield from the stack
Also doesn't work with Karador, to complete your list.
Golly Gee Willikers, Professor! Is that a REAL Star Trek TNG Cobra Head hand held phaser replica! I hope for the crew's sake it was set to stun because that could do a lot of damage.
I like "shadow in the warp", in the tyranid deck.
I’m really disappointed that not all of the universes beyond crossover products have had this level of quality and dedication. It is clear the time and effort put into this product. The art despite being different is still high quality and evokes that magic feel. It’s unlike the previous crossover products which’s art was lacking both in quality and magic aesthetic. Even despite Wizards pushing the boundaries of magic art though the countless new showcase styles. Going forward I hope they continue this quality, but I have my doubts after seeing the Transformer crossover cards for brothers war.
To be fair, W40K has so much Lore and art that trying to evoke it gave you a Lot of design space.
I hadn't heard of the reserved list before (mainly a ygo player who dabbles in commander so 40k commander caught my eye) but that is the most ass backwards thing I think I've ever heard a company do "oh don't worry collectors, we will leave and absolute truck load of money on the table so we don't damage your investment that only benefits you"
I wouldn't call 2 different lands and an enchantment a very simple recipe for anything lol. Seems like there are easier ways to pull that off.
Lord of change in Animar. Oh my 1 blue 6/6 draw three. A must
"It's Proffin' time!!!"
LMAO that's my favorite part of this video! I loved the way you Proffed all over them! xD
0:25 "There are 4 of these precons" *holds up 5 fingers*
Hey Prof, a few of the Canoptek Tomb Sentinel commanders mentioned don't work. It has to enter from the graveyard, not from the stack. If your commander allows you to cast it, then it won't trigger.
11:14 "Reglardless". New fav word.
The Warhammer 40k novels are superb btw.
Deny the witch caught my eye. One generic and esper for a counter spell or ability that then deals damage from amount of creatures I control.
I don't know what Prof is trying to do with that phaser in the thumbnail, but it is killing me. 🤣
I'm five seconds in, and I'm dying
I'm going to make magic proxies of them. Proxies for life baby!
I was already thinking of picking up the Necron deck anyway even though I am not super into Warhammer, but yes, Out of the Tombs and Scepter of Eternal Glory are slam dunk cards that I absolutely have to get my hands on. I do hope they get reprinted, but who knows what they will do
Real talk, I think you missed a HUGE card. There is a 6 mana W/B creature with "etb, reanimate a creature, gain life equal the it's toughness". This is HUGE, as karmic guide for the longest time was the ONLY creature that reanimates something with no downside. Having a second one is a big deal.
_Wow_ that phaser at the beginning took me back lol. I had one of those and the tricorder when I was a kid.
I somehow completely missed that insect in previews. That card seems insane.
Prof oversold it a bit though, in that a number of the proposed commanders it could slot into don't actually work with it (anything that lets you "cast' something from your graveyard doesn't result in those spells entering the battlefield *from* the graveyard, they move to the stack first, and enter from there).
I’ve been waiting for this
This was a great video to watch while building more tyranids, always must have more tyranids…
You forgot The Golden Throne. Honestly I think it's the best card coming in these Warhammer 40000 decks. Also Herald of Slaanesh and Shadow in the Warp look pretty good.
I don't need to see anything more than the opening phaser play to know this is a great video.
@0:27 "there are four of these precons" *holds up five fingers* Me: English major checks out!
I’m under the impression that the E in Custodes is not silent. It’s a Latin word that I believe is usually translated as Guard or Watcher/Watchman. It forms the root of our modern English word, Custodian.
It'd be hilarious if the Rules Commity for commander just banned these decks. Then they're just pretty mantlepieces; which is better in my eyes than as a format staple. A guy can dream.
The professor having trouble with the word custodes did make me chuckle. I just think of custodian. cause they mop the battlefield with the enemy.
omg yes the princess weekes and tappy episode is finally coming yessss
Canoptek Tomb Sentinel will not trigger if you cast it from the graveyard a la Muldrotha, etc. Because when you do that it moves from the graveyard to the stack and then to your battlefield. So you need to cheat it out and from the graveyard not just cast it from there.
5:30 that Pronunciation!!!
These precons are great. Wish the price was still $30 to $40. I picked up 3 of them and of the ones I played with felt fun.
Darn. Looks like I need to get the Necron deck as well as the Chaos and Marines decks.
Ever since WOTC declared many cards in the un-sets to be legal in commander I am really starting to doubt their commitment to preserving the aesthetic of the game. However, if the reprints will potentially make them good money, then they will do it.
I appreciate that you didn’t choose the simple choices for this top 5 like Be’lakor. However I think lord of change is just isn’t that amazing. Sure it does have great synergy with blink effects and give you extra copies of that style of effect. I think it’s just to expensive to cast and at 7 mana you could be play way scary cards as well as I feel like you want your value pieces early to start getting value in the much earlier stages of the game. By the time it comes down I feel as though you shouldn’t need it. As far a reanimation i feel like you just have access to better draw effects and scary cards then this one. Maybe it’s not that this card is bad. It might just be that it’s over shadowed by better options effect wise and also probably in cost to buy the card at this point.
My hope is as part of the licensing deal they are allowed to continue using the card names, then they can just give them the godzilla treatment and rename them and give them new art for reprints
I mean, they already did exactly that with the Stranger Things cards. Apparently this doesn't seem to be an issue at all. The problem is that here we have 160 cards and most certainly not all of them will be reprinted.
Bloodthirster has been ripping people apart in my Xenagos deck, and that’s frustrating. I swore off using Universes Beyond cards for the longest but they got me. He’s just too good.
Super thrilled that my pre-order of the set has been delayed twice now until the end of November! Woo!
I hope Wizards takes this to heart to create worthwhile precons for standard set releases that match the same quality we're seeing here. We've known for a long time there's nothing stopping them from making cohesive decks packed with value, and now there's no longer any excuse.
I’ve just picked up the Necron one. We’ll see how this goes 💪
I'm a little Surprised Poxwalkers didn't make the list. Card screams dredge staple.
Still a fun list.
No Joke,
I watch you for like 10 Seconds, and i start laughing. Youre really awesome 😄😃
I had sticker shock in May '22 over the CE set being $528 on Amazon... checked today for the same set and it's $1200.
To be honest, unfortunately I'm more excited for Brothers War than the 40k precons😅😅
Before I start watching, the star trek phaser in a 4k video is HILARIOUS
I'm more of a Duelcommander player, and yes even in this commander variant, there's a lot of possible tier card here and will see play. So yeah, I really need to find a way to get some, if not all.
Btw Prof, we would really like to watch a vid on your thought about Duelcommander, even if you'll end up disliking/hating it. Lol
Thanks to wizards, they won't reprint this and they'll start being worth thousands because they'll be at the vault.
In 2055 they will find a warehouse full of 40k decks and add them to Ultra Collector Boosters
@@cheraxe4ever12345678 only after they announce the collector edition of Warhammer 40K set.
Considering how jealously GW guards their IP, there will likely never be a further reprint as is. Thankfully, there's always in-universe versions that can be ported to set boosters.
They won't automatically reprint the stuff in these decks in universe, unlike the UB secret lairs, but according to Rosewater if they feel individual cards need to be reprinted outside of these decks, they can, they will just replace any creature types unique to Warhammer with new in universe ones that will be concidered equivilant to there WH40k creature type.
