Cards that cost colourless mana is one of my favourite little niche things this game has. Even if they're all Eldrazi, I still will say I find them pretty neat. In a way, somewhat similar to "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)".
So happy to see spacial contortion/warping wail on this list. My first 2 versions of my raccoon deck had decent amounts of colorless mana between ramunap ruins and a few utility lands so i thought it would be funny to sneak in either spatial contortion as removal or warping wail for the flexibility (the 1/1 scion becomes a 2/1 with domri)
The interesting aspect is that they updated colorless mana producers in reprints to use the new symbol, leading to inconsistencies in meaning. For example, Eldrazi Temple changed from {2} to {C}{C}. In older mana producers, {2} does not hold the same meaning as the {2} found in mana abilities or costs.
It effectively does mean the same thing. Whenever a card added {2}, the rules said that mana was colorless anyway. So it always did add exactly the same mana that {c}{c} would add now: 2 colorless mana.. The meaning was confusing but always consistent: In costs, it always consistently meant colorless mana or mana of any color. In mana production, it always consistently meant colorless mana. This never changed or was inconsistently applied, since Magic began.
Kozileks command will easily be in the top 5 i wpuld even say top 3 next time this list is revisited. Its an incredibly versatile card. In mtg arena you can turn 2 thoughtknot seer if you drop ugins labyrinth imprinted and play mindstone turn one. These two cards will be top 3 easily.
@@weare1388 Wastes is a basic land card but Wastes isn't a basic land type (the card Wastes has no land subtype at all - its JUST Basic Land); and the real reason is that they didn't want to give Domain a sixth land type, which does seem a bit silly in retrospect that they were so worried about that since they've had no problem giving every other type-counting card mechanics retroactive buffs by adding new card types
@@nathanieldewalt1707 Funnily enough the only card a sixth basic land type could actually break (or atleast, give multi-format playability) is from MH2 - it'd make a 0-cost Scion of Draco without being much harder to assemble using the tools they already do; for almost every card that uses Domain 5 ---> 6 wouldn't be worth much; but 2 ---> 0 in mana cost is in fact a crazy difference
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Oh, 1 and 2 are easy, Thought Knot Seer and Reality Smasher for 1 and 2 respectively, do let's guess three offfffffffff Eldrazi Displacer? Edit: Oh hey, hm, not bad.

Crystal Mox not being printed is still an injustice!
I feel like top 10 non-restricted cards in vintage would be more interesting. Otherwise it's mostly going to be restricted cards and Bazaar
Thought-Knot Seer is such a cool and appropriate name for the card
Thr fact that every card on the set has seen some play in vintage shows how strong and stacked this list is

that segue into the ad was 10/10
Nizzahon, my hero. Colorless Gang rise up. We got cookies in the Blind Eternities.
What, no milk 😂
You should do top 10 for sets around the 10 year anniversary
Love the coverage of colorless mana. I hope we see colorless mana that isn't associated with eldrazi eventually.
Yeah like maybe a 7{C}{C} artifact creature dragon who’s a 5/5 and has flying, trample, and rampage 4
@@andyspendlove1019 It would be good if that creature had an additional line of text reminding us it's a dragon.
Probably artifacts at some point will have a colorless requirement in their cost (surprised they haven't done it already)

Top 10 basic lands please. Also snow covered wastes makes colorless
Usually I have a good feel for what the list is going to consist of but this one surprised me
I wanna know why Wastes isn't a basic land type
Becuase the idea is a waste is a basic land that lost its basic land type.
It said basic land on the card

Domain with six types.... Absolutely broken. Think about how much crazier six is than five.
Obvious satire

Is kindred the same as tribal?
Yes, they changed the name of the card type.
i think cuting down on these cuts (pun intended) at the beginning woud be great.
If you haven't already it might be cool to do a longest time between printing and being banned list
Probably Jace, the Mind Sculptor and The One Ring.
@darthparallax5207 I was thinking eye of ugin as well
(1:08) Not the only basic land that can do it. Don't forget about Snow-Covered Wastes.
Alternate title: top 10 best Tron deep cuts
Sweet colorless
This perfectly illustrates why people need to stop calling generic mana "colorless".
I informally call it gray. It's the sixth color.

Edit:
Oh hey, hm, not bad.
@nizzahon seeing as you are Jewish, is there a Chanukah-themed best burn spells video?
Worst thing to happen to limited of all time. But cool otherwise.
Sowing Mycospawn (and some others) doesn't NEED colorless mana. It's just better when you do have it.
What a waste... see what I did there
As your comment was colorless, no.
