- I believe that blue has a very good shot at being the best color in Modern Horizons 3 limited as the quality of the commons look absolutely ridiculous. We have multiple commons that could be B level cards along with an A level uncommon! Let's draw all the cards and counter all the spells!

Consign to memory is a flat counter to colorless spells. (They can’t pay). So it wrecks Eldrazi decks.
Are you releasing the white review today?? I love your google sheets, prepping for tonight's Prerelease!
Coming out today!
Are you sure that's how consign to memory works? I'm fairly certain they don't have the option to pay to not get countered, it doesn't say "unless your opponents pays 1" it just says you can replicate it. This is a one mana counter a devoid or colorless spell, right? That seems pretty decent at least in sideboards.
yeah i think that’s the 2nd card already in blue he has misread
You're absolutely correct. It's still a card you never maindeck but a solid sideboard option.
@@mtgo9686 There's a lot of words on these cards.
Thanks for fast video output , this set is complicated and this is free content, not easy to create videos every day
The replicate matters a lot too because Eldrazi generally have cast triggers rather than ETB triggers, so normal counters don’t cleanly answer them. It’s going to be pretty common, I think, to play this for 1U and counter both the cast trigger and the actual body of the Eldrazi and that’s very good. I agree it’s not something you’re likely to look to main deck but I’d expect to board it in a lot.
Great video. I don't draft much, but I had a quest to play three quick draft games for 1000 gold, so I figured I'd try it. I ended up with a blue/red Eldrazi deck with some energy cards that are good on their own (e.g. Galvanic Discharge). Kozilek's Unsealing was by far the best card in the deck and responsible for all of my wins. I had four seven drops and eight four and five drops, so once I resolved the Unsealing, I could usually get a decisive advantage in mana and cards.
3:08 "say your opponent plays 3 mana 3/3, 4 mana 4/4. once the 4 mana 4/4 resolves, ..." opponent played 2 creatures. Amphibian Downpour should copy for each cast, right? so 2 copies, plus the original, for 3 total?
Yes it would target 3 things
I think what he meant in his example was: OP plays a 3 drop on turn 3, then proceeds to play a 4 drop on turn 4 - that's when you flash in the enchantment and get to hit both creatures. In this case, even if you could storm the enchantment twice, you wouldn't gain any benefit from an extra copy, assuming OP only has those 2 creatures.
Yeah I was confused by this too. If your opponent even plays one spell on their turn, this is a two for one. If they play two spells on their turn it's a three for one. Sure it's not a clean three for one. But a three for one is still a three for one.
I think Shadow of the Second Sun is perfect end game card. On turn 6 it costs zero aj draws you a card quasi immediately. It also untaps all your attackers . Sounds good to me
Excited to see blue this strong
Guys. Gals. The removal that makes another creature a 1/1.....those cards are so fucking powerful when the 'loses all abilities' text considering nobody ever really runs a creature without it having some ability.
Talking commander format, btw
thanks for banging these out before prerelease weekend paul! keep up the great work!
Doing my best. Glad you find them useful!
Yeah, blue seems busted. Great card draw, suprisingly beefy creatures AND nice synergies with energy and eldrazi! Really exited.
Thanks for the content, Paul!
I initially didn’t like the term ‘wingding’ for colourless mana, but I’ve started using it too. ‘Hazard sign’ doesn’t really sound right and that was my only other option.
Throw all these set reviews in a playlist!
Great idea!
Kappa was errata’d. That’s pretty cool and not something you see usually just to clarify an ability.
pretty sure coatl is pronounced krikkk, so yeah blue seems deep and generally insane
Many have died in the pursuit of value
Funnily enough I think you may be the lowest on Tune the Narrative out of the reviews I've seen
I had it as the best or second best blue common!
[[Aether Spike]] needed to front you at least 3 energy, making it a baseline [[Mana Leak]], to be decent. 4 would have been likely too much. Kind of un-pushed compared to [[Galvanic Discharge]].
I think the card is still decent but yeah much worse than the discharge
I don't know about Shadow of the Second Sun. 31:51. If you have 6 mana: It costs nothing. Your lands untap the same turn. And it replaces itself. You draw another card that same turn. It gives all of your creatures immediate vigilance. They all untap that same turn. Then every consecutive turn, you draw two cards. You double your mana. All creatures continue to have vigilance. Not only that, but other artifacts that may be tapped for abilities untap and may be used again too.
The drawback is you usually can't play it until at least turn 6. But it's a powerful ability and absolutely free. This seems like a B.
It's not quite that because after you untap and draw you immediately go to the end step.
So yes you get to untap everything and draw an extra card, but without a main phase you can't really use it to add to the board. Just really awkward.
I still think this card is like a D, unless you have a whole deck full of instants, flash, tap abilities. Not stone cold unplayable, but highly deck dependant to make it worth it. The effect is so slow and durdlely if you don't have some kind of direct synergy with it.
If it worked like you said and it untapped inside of your main phase, then yeah it would be B+/A because it's literally free resources the turn you play it. But not it's not nearly that good.
@@soggytoast111 If that's the case, I'd consider it a D also. From the convoluted text on the card, it sounded like there'd be an upkeep after the second untap, before the end of the turn, which would make the card amazing. Not the first time the (almost intentionally) hackneyed/cryptic writing has made effects confusing or unclear.
Volatile Stormdrake -> If you play it and the opponent doesn't have a legal target (no creatures or hexproof) then atleat you get a 3/2 flyer for 2 mana :D
ooo let's hope we're on the play!
eldrazi mana from ekdrazi lands!
Volatile Stormdrake is a solid B card. Let’s say you go first your opponent does not play a creature on turn 1, 9/10 times and you have a 3/2 flyer on turn 2. Also you can exchange it for a better creature most of the times. For example yesterday i played it and got a 5/3 lifelinker from my opponent which was game changing. Also if green/white modify is gonna be popular as it looks like, it becomes even better because you get the creature with all his modifications right?
Not a b
@@haumph ok maybe not a B, but definitely high C. I am a believer.
What makes Shrieking Drake even worse for me, is that not only is the effect not optional, it also doesn't have "another" text so if you have no creatures on board it will bounce itself.
Thanks Paul!!
you say coatl kind of like COH-at but that tl makes a sound we dont really have in english
ok
Six mana to draw an extra card each turn and untap your stuff after combat doesn't feel bad to me. Shadow of the Second Sun looks like a solid limited card to me. If this format end up being rather slow and getting to six mana isn't that hard, it might even be better. Edit: Now I had to read the card again. It's amazing, because it will give you your card and also mana back on the same turn. It's just a mattr of getting to cast this somehow and you are golden.
You're reading it wrong. The additional beginning phase happens AFTER the second main phase. So unless you're packing a lot of instants, it's a pretty terrible card.
@cherrickdinn it says "at the begging of postcombat phase ", so the phases follow like this:
1. Precombat main phase (you play this)
2. Combat
3.a beginning phase: untap
3.b beginning phase: upkeep
3.c: beginning phase: draw
4. Postcombat main phase
5. End of turn
@@xiaoxinghuliIt says “At the beginning of enchanted player’s postcombat main phase, there is an additional beginning phase AFTER THIS PHASE.” Meaning that your turn does this
1) Beginning Phase
2) Main Phase
3) Combat Phase
4) Main Phase
5) Additional Beginning Phase
6) End Phase
@anthonytrevino9520 you are right. That's reading the whole sentences 🙂 bit it still keeps you untapped, vigilant and draws
After playing with it, I think this card is amazing in this set if you have the control tools to go along with it. In the right deck, this is easily an A level card
Why the arts in this collection have this 80s pulp magazine aesthetic?
Roil Cartographer is an F
Why do you say that? Seems good to me.
“Let’s make blue theme = draw cards.” You’d think they’d have learn 30+ years after printing ancestral recall. Based on commons, play blue flyers and card draw, pair with black/red for removal, white for tempo/aggro, or green for beef. Blue OP
Shadow of 2nd sun gives you two turns every turn. Free time walk every turn
You don't get to attack twice, you don't get to play creature or sorcery spells twice, nor will it let you use planeswalkers twice. So, no, because that's what makes Time Walk strong.
Shadow of the second sun gives all your creatures vigilance, and pretty much doubles your mana pool as it untapps ANYTHING that was tapped on the precombat mainphase and combat phase (if this came into play in the premainphase this triggers on the same turn it came). And you get to draw an additional card and additional upkeep triggers(not really useful but still). The amount of value you get is unreal I don't think you understood well the card...
more mana or vigilance to all my creatures for 6 mana is not something i'm interested in.
@@haumph Is it not just a timewalk every single turn (minus combat step)? Cause you get an extra draw step too, so it's card advantage every turn.
@@haumphyou can convert your blue control in blue aggro control (using all your mana to get your board set up and draw a lot of cards with the sorcery spells, but still having all your mana up in the opponents turns to counter and interact, with one more card in hand) I will at least try if I am just trying to make it look good 😅
@@MXBloom A lot of people are reading it wrong. Read the rules text. The extra beginning step happens after the second main phase. So you don't get to use the mana on your turn except on instants/flash. Way too expensive for this effect.
@@cherrickdinnyeah, may be too much, though it nearly replaces itself in the same turn in gets out. Would need some support by sufficient instant and flash spells...
