I'm here for the baldurs gate 50th anniversary event!
Awesome!
Same! Hoping that today goes well!
“…similar to how…ugh…monarch functions…”
*Laughs maniacally in pauper*
Palace Sentinels hype!
#GatesandGlory
Love the way you structure and deliver these videos to prep for releases. Thank you for doing it.
I'm glad to hear it! Good luck!
Inhaling this on the way to prerelease. Much appreciated. Any Seattle folks looking for a partner for 2 headed giant on Sunday hit me up.
Cloakwood Hermit says "creature card", so it doesnt trigger when a token goes to the graveyard.
But thanks for the video!
Good call! I missed the word, “card,” on the card. It’s still a solid combo, because generating 2 squirrels is nice compensation for sacrificing a creature, but it needs a bit more setup. Thanks for pointing it out! I’m glad you liked the video!
Thanks for the info.
Adventure is back! time for some broken commons again lol.

"Rip through enough dirt and you"ll eventually hit something edible" is generally my tactics for finding something to eat in my fridge.
Really good video, informative and concise. Keep up the content 👍 Never watched before but I will be now
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Cole!
thank you so much for this insightful video. I thought Baldurs gate set was a bit intimidating but you made it much clearer
Im holding a draft for my birthday next week and this will be very useful for my friends that arent quite as savvy with drafting :) cheers for the great vid #gatesandglory
Key note with removal. While it will set you back a little, it can be very valuable to set you up relationship wise with the other players on the board
Absolutely. Indiscriminate removal is obviously not wise. But you can't really evaluate removal in commander by simply focusing on card disadvantage. It is a key part of the political side of the game. I.e. I'll take care of this emergent threat if you do x in return. You're supposed to translate the card disparity into leverage in some way. Also, the card disadvantage is irrelevant in the common scenario of, "Hey guys, we're all going to lose if we don't kill this now."
Right! At a pre-release commander draft at my favorite card shop, I was playing against someone who took control of someone else's commander, and later I used "Run Away Together" on that controlled commander to return it to the other guy's hand, but then I also returned another one of his creatures, so it was pretty even. He never attacked me again tho!
Thanks for the help, as this will be my first in-person draft at my LGS!
#GatesAndGlory
Good luck!
@NicolaiBolas Thank you, for $19 the shop gave an extra pack to everyone who participated, and then have prizes for first place in each pod and a table-vote consolation prize (which I received).
Looking forward to your content!
Thankyou I have a prerelease draft tomorrow and missed the commander legends set.
Good luck! I'm glad you enjoyed my video!
Thanks for the video! I'm drafting CLB tomorrow and didn't actually know that it was commander. Also, 17:30 doesn't work because Cloakwood Hermit says "creature card" and tokens aren't technically cards.
Good luck in your draft! Yeah, someone pointed out the card thing to me. I'm glad I didn't accidentally confuse you.
Thank you for the video. It helped me out for tomorrow's draft. Draft with 8 players, then pods of 4. Keep up the great content. I bought a ten pack of Kamigawa Neon Dynasty foil treasure/Samurai tokens from ebay. To hand out. I've been playing Mtg for over 11 years now.
Hopefully your bribe works
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Andrew! That sounds like a nice thing to do!
@@nickcase2032 Bribery? No, that was in 8th edition. Around $30 mint. Sarcasm so should be a card in an un set.
17:07 it’s been a year but if anyone else comes across this, the hermit would not trigger off the tokens as tokens are not considered “cards” unfortunately. Yes they die/enter the graveyard but sense it specifically is looking for cards entering it has no effect here
Did anyone else have a terrible experience. Our store really didn't have fun drafting and playing beyond just us making it fun. The games took way longer and I guess Wizards told LGS that it would be one of the fastest events. I would be ok if they never have a draft and maybe only have a prerelease with 6 packs. Our prerelease was 3 packs for 25 bucks and another 2 after we were done which I guess Wizards is raising prices again after record sales. Also they are under cutting our LGS and we need to fight back or we will have nowhere to play and have a community of friends at the store.
I had fun at my draft.
Remember folks, tokens are not cards.
Clockwise hermit will not trigger off a token death.
Thanks for the video, excited for tomorrow's draft
Great video as always. Hope the TH-cam algorithm is generous to this vid.
Thank you!
Very nice video! Thx I have a CL draft coming up
Very well done guide. especially liked your pairing of legendary & background for each colour pair
Thanks! That was one of the hardest parts for me, so I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you for the primer!
I will play 2 drafts of this set with my friend on next week, wish me some luck)
Was hoping you would make a video for this set!
Did two drafts last night. Green/white token deck with Wilson as commander and token making white background, got second. Blue/red lazhan/dragon deck won the second round. Was a fun draft, but nobody really knew what to draft. So I'm interested in trying again after people know what is what. Wish I had seen this before the draft though.
Sivriss, Nightmare Speaker with Cloakwood Hermit will not allow you to sack squirrel tokens to make more squirrels because Cloakwood Hermit specifies "creature card" and creature tokens are just creatures but not "cards". 17:19
#GatesAndGlory? This baldurs gate theme is what sparks my interest in mtg after sooo many years. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my video! Welcome to the game!
Unsure how my prerelease will go tomorrow. They're doing sealed and throwing in 2 extra packs, hopefully I can manage to make a decent 60 card deck with a 101 card pool 😬
#GatesAndGlory, there you go! Thx for the info tho, helped me a lot in my draft, tho it is only playing and having fun time with friends, it is also quite nice to destroy them hehehe
#Gatesandglory. Thank u again for your hard work
great video
Wait, you can only play 3 copies of a card even if you draft a playset (4) of said card?
The Undercity beckons! #TakeTheInitiative
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fixing shouldn’t be too much of a problem though right? The decks can only be 2 color.
There are 3 color Commanders at higher rarities.
Nine fingers keen won my pod last night

#GATES&GLORY ... holes
Is this on Arena? :o
Unfortunately it is only for in person events. However, there will be an Alchemy masters version coming to Arena that will be designed for Draft. It is coming in early July.
@@NicolaiBolas aw thank you so much for letting me know. Still looks very fun
#gatesandglory
I´m so sad DnD1 had white/Black dungeon archetype and now its blue/black... so it can´t integrade well in the white/black commander precon they sold for DnD1 :(
#GatesandGlory
*slowly raises hand*
...Sefris is Blue/White/Black. She can use cards from both a black/white and a blue/black dungeon archetype.
Excellent!
Maybe some of the Black cards will crossover at least!
@@captainspud I'll try that, thank you. Maybe dungeon decks will become competitive now.
👍🏽
Thanks bro!
