The Master, Multiplied is evil. Each token created has all his abilities. Tons of red copy effects either sacrifice or exile tokens at the end of combat or turn. Not with his ability. Black can Saw it in Half. Add in extra combats to spice as desired. If blocks aren't favorable, you are in great aristocrat colors. His ability also works on other creatures with myriad or encore for that matter. Definitely a kill-on-sight commander.
@@Dragon_Fyrecorrect. The Commander is attached to the "card" so any copies of it do not inherit the commander aspect... This also means that if an opponent steals control of the card, they could commander damage you out of the game with your own commander in theory
Seth reviews every card like: "this card is BUS-TED. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. INSTANT STAPLE IN EVERY FORMAT. AUTO-INCLUDE. NEW TRIBAL COMMANDER" Tomer reviews cards like: "I dont think its very good. Is it good? I think its playable? Idk..."
The doctors are a lot more tame in a bubble because they're meant to be Partner/background commanders with the companions, they were able to let loose with standalone commanders like the villains more.
Hey, Tomer, I had a fun idea for a spin on Random Week- Each one of you gets a random Doctor and a random companion. Could lead to some fantastic jank builds
I like the decision to go with goad for the baddies deck since, if everyone is playing a pre-con, it explains why, through their schemes, all the heroes are attacking each other instead of focus firing on the narrative (if not table) 'arch-enemy'.
hi tomer my friend. the master formed anew is clearly a polymorph commander !! it turns into a copy of your subcommander and sticks in the command zone at 2 mana.
Yeah it actually looks ridiculously strong. Do you have to reveal the card when you choose and exile it? You would probably play it similar to an Umezawa ninjutsu deck where you're holding a handful of Eldrazi and trying to decide which one you want to have cost 2 mana for the rest of the game. Or in cEDH, a combo piece or dimir stax? You could even bounce it back to your hand, exile a toolbox of creatures, and then start cloning and going off
This is an interesting thought. What kind of way would you exploit it? The subcommander would need to be in play. Is it just Entomb and Razaketh and Animate Dead and then Master Formed Anew?
@@mizzlchieizzl no, you would need the secret commander in your hand not graveyard right? I wasn't thinking secret commander, I was imagining all of the strongest dimir cards, especially 4+ MV ones (the Sheoldreds, Toxrill, Ulamog, Void Winnower, Tegrid, JinG, etc.) and then whatever hand you keep you pick 1-2 of them and have your Master be them for the game. A different commander each game for cheap, in a strong shell. And you probably play a lot of the dimir shapeshifter types like that new faerie looter and Lazav. Basically it's a Lazav deck
@@bryanleblanc5648 it says "you may exile a creature you control" which means it has to be on the battlefield. And even if it's face-down on the battlefield like with morph, exiled cards are face-up unless it says exiled face down.
@@bryanleblanc5648 you have to get the card you want to clone in play first. so you'd be running some sort of reanimator or ramp shell assuming it's a big creature, in which case it's basically just insurance once you've reanimated a good creature.
Doomsday Confluence lets you do any mode multiple times. I think its going to be pretty good. If you get to 9 mana you can make each opponent discard 4 cards. In Monoblack and G/B decks 9 mana is pretty easy, and stripping hands like that is powerful.
Quick note on Last Night Together: The fact it gives vigilance means you can use it first main, the immediately get two combats in a row with the creatures buffed and indestructible for both. I think you'll play it that way almost every time.
I really feel like these decks have a really good synergy that pull some of these cards from low-playable to good-playable. And the villanous choice cards are so cool
Master, Forged Anew (the 2 mana Master) combos with a sac outlet and Driver of the Dead / Cavalier of Night. You can also copy a persist creature along with an undying creature for the same effect, but you have to cast the Master twice. But for example you can kill the table with Geralf's Messenger that way.
Loving the Legendary rule overcoming clone spells in this set: Auton Soldier and Quantum Misalignment, great aditions for my Koma, Cosmo Serpent clone/token deck
Truth or Consequences only chooses a single opponent at random, then they take 3 damage for each consequence vote. You don't choose a random opponent for each consequence vote. So most likely, you'll draw a card and an opponent will take 9 damage. Still not a great card, but if you play it later in the game when life totals are low, it becomes more risky for more players to choose consequences.
the flood of mars looks like a creature humility with extra steps, the copy with myriad thing looks good in teshar (like she wasn't good enough) the rani looks fun to build around, the master multiplied seems broken and the ship that gives you facedowns seems interesting with ixadron all and all pretty fun
21:23 Imagine casting an extra combat spell the first turn that you attack with The Master, Multiplied. You will end that turn with 64 power worth of masters.
he didn't mention it here but The Master, Multiplied tokens all also have Myriad, so next turn target 3 opponents with The Master, Multiplied and the tokens and gain 6 new token copies then next turn taget your 9 The Master, Multiplied one your opponents (3 attacking each) to make 18 new tokens! and so on. combo that with something that gives you and extra combat phase for more fun... for The Master
From what I've been hearing that's actually very popular. Doctor Who fans want to keep the precons stock to play against so that every card remains in-universe. Same with W40K and LOTR.
Sycorax commander at least is a consideration in Nekusar decks, a place where you’re forcing opponents to fill their hands and burn them for it, it slots right in
Me, the Immortal: Born in Viking times with the name Ashildr, she died during an alien attack on her village. The Doctor, in a rare moment of pity and lack of foresight, used alien tech to make her immortal BUT she only had a regular human's capacity for memory so she forgot her name, taking the name "Me" because its easy to remember and always true. She is both an ally and an enemy to the Doctor. All her abilities reference her immortality, which is cool. And yes, she is played by Maisie Williams Karvanista, Loyal Lupari/Lupari Shield: The Lupari are a race of aliens who are "species bonded" with humanity; every one of us has our own Lupari who is sworn to protect us in the event of earth's destruction. Karvanista is bonded with Dan, which is why he gets his own card and that's why his abilities are all so Human typal focused Truth or Consequences: An extremely iconic moment from the series, largely due to Capaldi's absolutely amazing monologue. In the episode, a race of shapeshifting aliens called the Zygons have secretly sought asylum on Earth disguised as humans. A group of extremists begin trying to take down humanity and in the climax of the episode, Kate Stewart (representing humanity) and Bonnie (representing the extremist Zygons) each have access to a box that will destroy the other, making a stalemate. The voting represents the stalemate and its dire consequences The Master, Formed Anew: Early on in the history of the show, the Master (evil Time Lord who is the Doctor's archenemy and childhood best friend) had reached the end of his regeneration cycle. But, through technobabble shenanigans, he is able to get a new body for himself by stealing the body of another person, thus this copy effect Auton Soldier: The Autons are a race of plastic aliens who take the form of shop mannequins. They're faceless nameless and innumerable so having them be myriad clones works pretty well
Start the Tardis: The Tardis was already an old, out-dated model when the Doctor stole it from Gallifrey over a thousand years ago and the years have not been kind to the blue box. It often breaks down and the Doctor needs to give it some, physical persuasion to make it work again The Flood of Mars: An alien parasite that lives in the ice caps of Mars, it infected the first human colony to settle on Mars and turned them into water zombies. This is possibly the best top down design in the set imo Sontaran General: The Sontarans are a race of alien supersoldiers who are waging an endless war. The scene depicted in this card specifically has them using humanity's egos against them which is why it has goad Clockwork Droid: There's a spaceship in the future that opens time windows following the life of a French aristocratic woman to steal her brain to use as its central computer. The droids it sends to kill her (thus the exert mechanic I guess) are camoflauged to fit in in 1700s France Sycorax Commander: The Sycorax are a race of aliens who invaded Earth on Christmas Day using a scientific weapon to control all people with A positive blood. The Tenth Doctor, newly regenerated, challenged their leader to a duel. Depicting blood control as discard is interesting, I like it
Doomsday Confluence: Really beautiful art; I love the more evocative arts rather than the photorealistic ones. Doomsday was the first episode to feature both the Cybermen and the Daleks as they both invaded Earth from a parallel universe. The mechanics are all representative of all the bad stuff that happens when two evil cyborg races attack haha Last Night Together: As mentioned earlier, The Doctor and his wife River Song are time travelers and thus meet each other out of order. Their first meeting, from the Doctor's perspective, was River's death and during that scene she told him that their most recent meeting, from her perspective, was a beautiful night on a planet called Darilium. This card represents that night they had together Osgood, Operation Double: So with the previously mentioned Zygons, there are two people who work to keep the peace between the two races. Osgood, a human scientist working for Unit, and Petronella, a Zygon who takes Osgood's form. Their job is to monitor the Zygons and make sure that they dont try and start an uprising and also that the humans dont find out the Zygons are here and kill them. The reason Petronella takes Osgood's form is to prove that it doesn't matter if someone is Human or Zygon, they are still a person Sisterhood of Karn: The Sisterhood is a group of Time Lords who monitor and control the ability to regenerate. At the beginning of the Time War, the Doctor (after seeing so much death and destruction) decides he needs to abandon the name of the Doctor and become a Warrior instead, which the Sisterhood helps him accomplish, explaining their counter ability Thijarian Witness: The Thijarians are a group of hyper advanced aliens who use their super technology to find out whenever someone is going to die alone and then travel to their death to help comfort them and bear witness to their passing. It's a really sentimental concept and they did a great job capturing that in a card
Into the Time Vortex: The Time Vortex is what the Tardis travels through as it time travels, its chaotic and messy and cascades into rebound events and yea good card Renegade Silent: Really showing off their deep lore cuts with the renegade in its name. The Silence is both the name of a religious order and also the name of the alien species depicted in the card. The aliens are able to erase themselves from people's memories, leaving commands into their subconscious. The goading is the Silence telling them to fight, the phasing out is the memory. Really cool! The Master, Mesmerist: The Master's (and the Doctor's, which is why they're such great enemies) is their charisma. They are a master of disguise and convince or even hypnotize people into working for them. Skulking about and goading them is a great way to depict that The Master, Multiplied: This card depicts a specific event in the Master's story where he uses a piece of alien tech to transplant himself across the entire planet Earth, turning all of humanity into clones of The Master. It's an absolutely bonkers concept that the show pulls off extremely well and is one of the best episodes ever imo The Sound of Drums: In the reboot, we learn that one of the reasons why the Master turned evil is because he lives with a literal constant sound of drumming in his head. It drives him mad and makes him want to kill people because its so incessant, so an enchantment that keeps coming back and pushes attacks is great. Also I LOVE the art here for spoiler reasons
The Master, Gallifrey's End: This incarnation of the Master discovers a deep, dark secret to the Time Lords and Gallifrey's history and it makes him so angry that he literally destroys the planet. He then allies with the Cybermen and gives them the ability to regenerate, which is where the token copy stuff comes in. The top down designs here are so god damn good Rassilon, the War President: In the moments (lol) leading up to the end of the Time War and the "destruction" of Gallifrey, Rassilon (who was the leader of Gallifrey) and a few other Time Lords kinda went bonkers and decided to end the flow of time in the universe and become creatures of living consciousness. To do that though he had to put in a complicated plan into motion, which is where all the conspire stuff comes in Ashad, the Lone Cyberman: Ashad was a Cyberman whose conversion was abandoned halfway through so he still has a lot of his humanity, but just the bad stuff like anger and hate. He becomes their leader when he gets access to the Cybermen's super AI and he kills a lot of people so casualty works for him Cybermat: Cybermats are tiny Cyber drones that infiltrate areas for reconassance and disruption before the main Cyberman invasion and they're really cute Cybership: The spaceships used by the Cybermen! Pretty self explanatory haha
Pretty sure you DON’T want to target the player with no cards in hand with Great Intelligence’s Plan. The choice isn’t a cost. They can choose to discard three cards even if they don’t have any in hand.
Usually a single source reveals the entire deck. However this time it appears only Blast From the Past precon is being revealed by one source, Tolarian Community College tomorrow. Find all preview sources here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/where-to-find-magic-the-gathering-doctor-who-previews
@@MTGGoldfishCommander Thanks for the reply but in going off their own site it says: Each deck gets its own day, and on that day, we'll have some individual previews early on followed by one outlet doing a reveal of the rest of the deck. Each full-deck reveal is noted below and will be published around 2 p.m. PT! But it doesn't seem to be noted below that and clicking most of the links leads to Twitter pages that have no previews. Not mad at you guys of course. Not even mad, really. Just trying to find things during work and getting frazzled I guess. Thanks for the breakdowns though.
I may be stupid and can't see it, but I don't think the villain deck synergies lots of amazing cards but i don't see how this deck works together I can see me taking it a part to make so many great decks tho
That was my assessment as well. It just feels like a pile of Grixis commanders. I don’t really get a feeling of any synergy between most of them, like with the other decks.
Tbh Tomer’s energy with the cards bums me out cause he just seemed so bored and done with the cards, but I also appreciate that he isn’t trying to overhype anything and is being sincere… I’m conflicted
The Doctor Who pre-cons will appeal to fans of the series, but they are not overly powerful with a select few exceptions in comparison to the previous LotR pre-cons. From watching the videos, Tomer is vaguely familiar with Doctor Who, but not really a fan, so I can see where the pre-cons would be underwhelming to him… I myself would only be interested in the Timey Wimey or Villains pre-cons because aside from the Doctors in the other sets, I find myself having to look up all the other characters for reference. The problem I have with the Timey Wimey pre-con is that I feel they are going to all look the same. You just upgrade them with suspend staples and a few other staples (like some extra turn shenanigans).
If you ever sit down to play commander and nobody is playing blue i would still play the carpet of flowers just to celebrate the lack of counter spells
Tomer, you misunderstood Truth or Consequences. Assuming all opponents vote for Consequences, 1 random opponent takes 9 damage, not 3 random 3 damage Triggers. 4 mana deal 9 to a random opponent and draw a card isn't great, but it's better than your initial assessment.
The Doctors are kinda boring as you look at half the commander given the companion mechanic. Which is basically Partner. So have to look at them combined with the companion that you use.
You can find all Doctor Who previews over here: www.mtgpreviews.com/
The Master, Multiplied is evil. Each token created has all his abilities. Tons of red copy effects either sacrifice or exile tokens at the end of combat or turn. Not with his ability.

That's one commander I'd be willing to put under Mimic Vat if it died.
Bedlam is an auto include for sure too!

Would I be correct in assuming that only the original does Commander damage and not the Myriad copies ?

Tomer doesn’t like any card he can’t immediately break apparently hahaha still love him
lmao. So true
I actually agree with most of Seth's takes. He seems like a pretty balanced new-card reviewer. It's what drew me to this channel years ago.
My Skullbriar doesn’t grow slowly Tomer!!!

Usually a single source reveals the entire deck. However this time it appears only Blast From the Past precon is being revealed by one source, Tolarian Community College tomorrow. Find all preview sources here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/where-to-find-magic-the-gathering-doctor-who-previews

Thanks for the reply but in going off their own site it says:
Each deck gets its own day, and on that day, we'll have some individual previews early on followed by one outlet doing a reveal of the rest of the deck. Each full-deck reveal is noted below and will be published around 2 p.m. PT!
But it doesn't seem to be noted below that and clicking most of the links leads to Twitter pages that have no previews. Not mad at you guys of course. Not even mad, really. Just trying to find things during work and getting frazzled I guess.
Thanks for the breakdowns though.
Will you cover the planes at the end?
This just in: Commander precon cards continue to not be True-Name Nemesis or Edgar Markov.
Thank you wizards, for The Master, Multiplied giving the best Master a good card.
I remember buying a carpet of flowers for edh for $25 oof.
I may be stupid and can't see it, but I don't think the villain deck synergies lots of amazing cards but i don't see how this deck works together I can see me taking it a part to make so many great decks tho
That was my assessment as well. It just feels like a pile of Grixis commanders. I don’t really get a feeling of any synergy between most of them, like with the other decks.
Is Sycorax Commander's effect a reference to him cutting off the Doctor's hand?
Karvanista not a villain but some real power in the 99, like Jetmir or anything making citizens : )
unfortunately i think citizen's aren't humans, assuming you mean tokens. when they're tokens I think they just have one type, Citizen
Tomer: *complains about power creep very often *
Also Tomer: "Well...I don't think this card's interesting, I'm not sold."
these decks are
[say it with me now]
PUSHED!
I remember hearing that they tried to design the cards so that they wouldn’t be legacy playable
Tbh Tomer’s energy with the cards bums me out cause he just seemed so bored and done with the cards, but I also appreciate that he isn’t trying to overhype anything and is being sincere… I’m conflicted
The Doctor Who pre-cons will appeal to fans of the series, but they are not overly powerful with a select few exceptions in comparison to the previous LotR pre-cons.
From watching the videos, Tomer is vaguely familiar with Doctor Who, but not really a fan, so I can see where the pre-cons would be underwhelming to him…
I myself would only be interested in the Timey Wimey or Villains pre-cons because aside from the Doctors in the other sets, I find myself having to look up all the other characters for reference.
The problem I have with the Timey Wimey pre-con is that I feel they are going to all look the same. You just upgrade them with suspend staples and a few other staples (like some extra turn shenanigans).
Truth or Consequences says "draw 1 card then 1 opponent takes 9 to the face, but if someone's already at 9 or lower then you draw more cards instead"
If you get The Master, Multipled up to 21 and attack
If all 3 players don’t have a means to block
Do they all lose instantly to commander damage?
the tokens will not deal commander damage
Thank you for clarification. I am new
Zenagon = Xenagos...it starts with an X...Seth got into Tomer 😂
If you ever sit down to play commander and nobody is playing blue i would still play the carpet of flowers just to celebrate the lack of counter spells
Carpet of Flowers + Flood of Mars. I said You have Islands.
tomer you hella blurry my guy
Tomer, you misunderstood Truth or Consequences. Assuming all opponents vote for Consequences, 1 random opponent takes 9 damage, not 3 random 3 damage Triggers. 4 mana deal 9 to a random opponent and draw a card isn't great, but it's better than your initial assessment.
You're right, but I still think it's doodoo
Into the vortex though?……wut?…..
The Doctors are kinda boring as you look at half the commander given the companion mechanic. Which is basically Partner. So have to look at them combined with the companion that you use.
more like doctor who cares
I understand the optimism. But nothing looks too exciting honestly. Cards and the art are kinda meh.
