I just realized that maybe after these set reviews, you could maybe do a top 10 video on your overall most favorite cards this expansion. people love a top 10!
You returned to magic on what could possibly one of its best moments (game and card design wise), the cards from blumburrow have a lot of mechanics and creature types that sinergize with the previous sets very well, I can't wait to have all my cute creatures decimated by a sea of removal
Something you missed with iridescent vinelasher is it triggers crimes on landfall which is pretty big on a one drop since the archetype has very limited ways of triggering crimes for free/before combat
Have you tried insidious roots as a control tech yet? Using tokens to cast free deadly cover ups, also cruelty of gix and gix's command are other noteworthy topends at 5 mana along with the bat god himself. Its surprisingly effective. Looking forward to seeing how roots does this patch with farewell leaving the table
I think the chain is iridescent vinestalker, into GeV, into thought-stalker warlock. The landfall trigger will proc the 1 ping and GeV will pump the Thought-stalker to a 3/3
With the Consumed by Greed gift, it's...definitely a weird one. The creature you're returning has to be more valuable than the average draw for your opponent's deck, but also cheap enough that you'd want to run this over a reanimator effect. I guess if you're going discard heavy and plan on ditching the gifted card immediately? I love the gift on Cruelclaw's Heist, since it avoids the discard strat "problem" of the opponent not having anything left to discard.
You def need to make vinelasher work with some ramp and deserts. Maha + Massacre girl + 3 CMC - x/-x boardwipes is value. Lord Skitter and the eldraine package of cheap enchants and token generation enables Rottenmouth Viper pretty well
Looks like black or black/red burn is back. Sheoldred, the burn artifact, the bat cleric, wick, rotcaller, the fire got from red.... soo many new pieces
I'm so excited for this set. So much token generation. With Kambal and Wispdrinker I shot down an Insidious Roots player. Now I get another way to ping them. Its going to be so much fun when it works.
You see iridescent vinelasher ?? you want me to tell you what deck to make with it ?? 1) Obnixilis kingping because we love the ping Or if you feel especially special : 2) a deck that I will call Pitiless analyst : combo pitiless carnage with aftermath analyst : you sac your lands to pitiless carnage to draw bunch of cardsthen bring them all back with analyst and trigger ton of effects (surveil/deserts) and keep looping this. I think temur combo might get replaced by a more midrange less combo version that would be like that
No man, you're wrong: Magic videos gotta be long! I won't click on an expansion review that's 40 mins, you know? The longer it is, the more interestnig things that person might've said. I usually watch these videos in 2 parts so I've got something to watch at breakfast and lunch, hoping you upload something to watch while dinner.
That's literally most cards in every color of every set. Intentionally so. Mtg sets are designed with drafting in mind and most of the commons in those sets are designed for the limited environment. This is well known and documented.
I just had a really stupid idea, but what if we do a high noon (can only play 1 spell per turn) gift deck ?? Mostly UW control/tempo like (with a few flash creatures like the one that exile a spell and makes it plotted or the bodyguard etc) Who cares if you gift cards to your opponent if they can only use 1 per turn ?? xD
Ok so let me cook, u play scavenger's talent level it up and create bunch of tokens to sacrifice to play that mythic snake and u can potentially mill ur opp 10-12 cards
Mogman, imo you should just lean into the longer duration for reviews. we're here for your insights and we'd get less of them if you were to blitz through everything in 40 mins.

“I’m gonna try to make this video a little shorter” *checks video length* we love you Miguel 😂
Facts
Would it be a Mogwai video if this wasn't the case?
it was 1 minute shorter than white!
He's trying his best PFFT

people love a top 10!

These set reviews feel like feature length deck techs.
On all accounts, I'm eating gooood
never hate the long videos! I like hearing your input to its fullest on each card!

Don't worry too much about the length of these videos. You are averaging around 2-3 minutes per card, which is reasonable. Love what you do.
Great stuff @Megamogwai! Hope that you play in the streamer event too!
I like MEGA sized videos from Mega Mogwai
budget decks for the new standard season please?
"It's like a religious bat, or something. I'm not sure."

I even ready to watch 24h review of all cards
I mean we do have a 2 mana discard that's really played a lot
it's called deep cavern bat :O
Most entertaining MTG TH-camr 😁👍🏻
Wick with Lord Skitter sounds sick

I liked rakdos rats with Mishra as a commander in Brawl a lot. Really excited to try new cards! Especially Rotcaller and Wick.
Don't worry about the length of the videos Mogwai. We enjoy hearing your thoughts on the cards.
I can't wait for an Akul Unrepentant centered deck it's such a neat card
I can’t wait for the green cards! (My favorite color)
@48:10 Looks like Orzhov is going hard this next set. We’re going cats and bats!

1) Obnixilis kingping because we love the ping
Or if you feel especially special :

Will you be streaming again?! it would be cool to see you review these cards live
Might be worth mentioning that Iridescent Vinelasher commits crimes, but there might be better ways of already doing so.
Golgari food deck coming
I just knew black was next
Edit: "I'm gonna try to make this video shorter" lol, but I like that you take your time and appreciate you Insights
Well yeah, he's going in color wheel order (WUBRG)
@felizpanda ohhhh I see, thx
Valley rotcaller is nice, Lord skitter turn 3 plus token hits them for 3 life
Let’s go Esper Bat Frog Bounce with a low mana curve and Case of the Uneaten Feast!
Little bit shorter?? Ah thanks for saving us 3 minutes Miguel ❤️😘

May I suggest dark mode x'D there's this extension 'Dark reader' really nice.
Hey thanks for the video :')
I have a rat monarch deck.....this will be fun
Mogwai at the start of the video : Black is the best colour
Mogwai during the video : Garbage, Limited, Garbage, Not even limited, Garbage, ....

you can use cut down on sheoldred with Maha EZ
Holy shit he’s back 😢
Guess who's back back again?
does Feed the Cycle or any Forage card trigger Insidious Roots three times?
I just like his voice 😊
gifting a card in black will help discard spells be useful late game when your opponent is top decking
Ok so let me cook, u play scavenger's talent level it up and create bunch of tokens to sacrifice to play that mythic snake and u can potentially mill ur opp 10-12 cards
Welcome to Sweetooth turn 2 gets Rottonmouth viper out turn 3😊
Just accept the near hour long videos my dude. Embrace it!
UHM 95th!?
Just so you know, the "bu" in bloomburrow is pronounced like in burn
Season of loss is not loss... :(
