You know, I will say, like most of us here, I am subscribed to a lot of mtg channels. But, when it comes to Spoiler Season, you are always, 100% of the time, my initial and primary source of information. Thank you for all the videos you’ve put out, I’ve been watching for about 2 years now. You’re the best Dev!!
Fun fact: In the first Modern Horizons set, they printed Goblin Oriflame, which is a 2 mana Orcish Oriflame. The Room today is notable not only in being better than that because it has the other half of the room, but it's standard legal for the first time.
One thing to keep in mind about the Overlords is that they have 5 CMC, which means that they trigger Up the Beanstalk, even if you pay the alternative cost. Golgari Beanstalk with a graveyard theme and both green and black Overlords could be really cool.
I was literally saying "beat down boxset!" The second you framed the complaint, I'm so glad you mentioned it. We "classically trained" players need to make sure these kids don't forget our history.
I play a Katilda, Daenheart Prime commander deck that makes all my humans mana dorks, and survival from this set has given me sooo many awesome new pieces
Heh, I have used a toilet like that. It's in my friend's house, built about a hundred years ago. Oh, Dev! I LOVED the end (of the video, not of you-- I'm sure you'll be fine). See you tomorrow???????
O-ring that doesn't give it back is wild. That means you can just flicker it or bounce it to your hand and recast it for multiple uses. I don't think that has ever been a thing in white (outside of Skyclave Apparition). Even the current best removal in modern gives it back: Leyline Binding and Static Prison. They get a 2/2 + mill 1. So I guess it's not completely free but pretty close to free.
Was that a setup for a bit-series I saw at the end?! Ohhhhh, I hope it is! The Magic infotainment here just gets better and better. One might even go so far as to say... "strictly better." Don't @ me.
Worth noting that a _Render Inert_ can have Overlord of the Balemurk swinging on turn 3, and that _Overlord_ plays well with _Invasion of Fiora,_ as the flip side, _Marchesa, Resolute Monarch,_ can also remove counters from it. It sounds like a fun deck to brew.
Waltz of Rage works great with deathtouch or lifelink creatures. Or both. Also with all these impending creatures, Glissa can remove 3x counters off them. Keep that interaction in mind.
Overlord of Balemurk for Impending cost on turn two, turn three Render Inert to remove the counters and he becomes a creature, should be able to attack that turn too.
Not sure why but it irks me that the room enchantments don’t always have the cheaper room on the left side. Why randomize it! Don’t they know we got OCD outchea?
@@Tr3yWill Unholy Annex/Ritual Chamber has the static on the left and the unlock effect on the right. Same with Funeral Room / Awakening Hall. I believe that every room was *designed* with the cheaper effect on the left and the more expensive effect on the right. Any rooms that are the other way around are like that because one or both of the doors got a substantial redesign or recosting during playtesting after the art had already been commissioned.
The Pixie gets play in the reanimator style decks for its mill 4 + return card and the Overlord of the Balemurk seems pretty similar but for creatures and planeswalkers instead of the reanimate card...And the Pixie is a key card for that deck. Its very possible that the Overlord could make a reanimator decklist, but it would be significantly different style. Just needs the right cards.
Dissection Tool makes me realise that maybe Wizards banned Nadu, because they knew they couldn't simply ban the enablers as there was another 0-cost equipment in the pipeline.
overlord of the balemurk is an immediate 4 of craft for me. 2 mana mill four AND I got a creature back AND it can be a big beater later on AND its 2 card types if I have delierium stuff? Going straight into my insidious roots and "this creature costs (1) less for each creature in your graveyard" decks (the latter I am SUPER excited for as we have been missing a good mill + return a creature to hand on a body and this is now it!) I also really want to like ghostly dancers, but it probably could've cost 4 maybe even 3 mana. 5 is way too much, but I can see they didn't want it to reanimate the enchantment as that would be insane on a creature.
Exorcise ain't half bad, sure it's sorcery, but usually there's a upside for the target's owner attached to these type of cards, and this is just a disenchant and also take out something big if you don't need a disenchant, or just if a creature is more concerning.
I like the dancers that unlocks a room, for if you so private office to blow up board and follow up turn play the dancer to unlock lecture hall give hexproof and eerie all in turn 5 if your lucky
My xmas fairy land so far is using rite of the moth to reanimate valgovoth on turn 4 and use waltz with him on turn 5 on curve. 9 damage definitely wipes the board and he has life link so you gain huge health to use to cast your oppenents cards. 😮
I dont think Unidentified Hovership is all that good. We have established that Manifest Dread is a 2 mana ability... So this means the card is more like a 5 mana 2/2 vehicle that crews for 1 that exiles and creature on ETB... but, you could argue that the vehicle might never die so the opponent might never get to MD... So split the cost. This makes the card basically a 4 mana exile a creature sorcery that has a weak creature bonus...
I am also tired of saying "Sorcery would be better" It's obvious. And if it costs less mana it would be better. If it's power and toughness was increased it would be better. It would be better if the creature had Trample. It would be better if the card was better.
The hovership can be removed with the first ability on the stack, then the second triggers before the first resolves...right...? Then that would mean the player never gets to manifest because they didn't get a card exiled....right? Seems like some fun jank to build around
Yes. Now the real Magic Christmas land is to crew the Hovership, make a Balloon copy with the Jolly Balloon Man, then sacrifice the copy with the effect on the stack. The target creature gets exiled and they don't get a replacement, and you can do it again next turn.
Am I wrong in thinking that with Keys to the House you can play rooms of any colour no matter what colours your deck actually consists of, as long as you pay the activation cost of the key's second ability?
A Room has to be on the battlefield for you to control it. The only way Keys works with off-color Rooms is if you have some way to get the Room onto the battlefield without casting it. Then it enters with both doors locked and you can unlock them with the Keys.
[Unidentified Hovership], If you exile a token, does anything happen when the Hovership leaves play? There is no exiled card, you don't own it, it doesn't exist even in exile it no longer exists, also the hovership specifies "card's owner" and tokens aren't cards. So I if you exile a token, there shall be no manifesting dread what so ever. At least I think so? Am I wrong?
Oh, it's time for previews, manifest Dev.
We got way more than four card types in those previews. Devlirium is online!
You guys are why he keeps tubing.💜
He's actually a face down forest.
This is an even better joke than WotC

Way to go Dev! Hardest working TH-camr finally getting the recognition he deserves. 📣
I've totally overlooked that you can just flicker all of the overlords with Impending to make them not impending anymore
It will be tricky to flicker them as just Enchantments, but you are absolutely correct.
Fun fact: In the first Modern Horizons set, they printed Goblin Oriflame, which is a 2 mana Orcish Oriflame. The Room today is notable not only in being better than that because it has the other half of the room, but it's standard legal for the first time.
Off topic, but I love your cats! They're so fluffy

I'm glad to hear that the folks that came for the cute woodland critters set are sticking around for the haunted house set.
Love you Dev! Thank you for the content :)
We had bouncer's beatdown in SNC. Which was quite recent. I don't remember any complaining about "beatdown's" use when SNC wad coming out.
Thanks Dev!
Oh look. My favourite magic channel.
Best believe Professor goes bananas for his deck techs...
Nice video as always Dev!
love your vids and all your references. Also every time you say "horror" i hear drew carry saying it and it makes me smile
I play a Katilda, Daenheart Prime commander deck that makes all my humans mana dorks, and survival from this set has given me sooo many awesome new pieces
I love my katilda deck
@@ryanbenjamine2592 favorite pet deck 🫶
the house i grew up in, in england had a pull chain toilet!
They also printed Alpha Orcish Oriflamme on its own in Modern Horizons, as Goblin Oriflamme. Cute simple reference.
Some people remember “Get Out” by Jojo, but more people remember her better song “Too Little Too Late”
I am here fellow person of culture
The Professor is the oldest, except when Josh Lee Kwai is around
Heh, I have used a toilet like that. It's in my friend's house, built about a hundred years ago.
Oh, Dev! I LOVED the end (of the video, not of you-- I'm sure you'll be fine). See you tomorrow???????

They get a 2/2 + mill 1. So I guess it's not completely free but pretty close to free.
Lol I got excited a little too quickly because dev called it an oblivion ring, but it only hits creatures. Much worse than I thought. 😂
The fact it only hits creatures hurts
I think limited is going to be so fun in this set.
I'm glad you are fine, there in your room.
Yep.
Nice and safe and fine.
“The beat down box set” thanks dev i needed the reminder of how old i am
Props for Ghostly Dancer Tina Turner reference! Im old too...
30:08 you forgot that it can even get a boat 😂😂😭 (not literally, i just love that joke)
Was that a setup for a bit-series I saw at the end?! Ohhhhh, I hope it is! The Magic infotainment here just gets better and better. One might even go so far as to say... "strictly better." Don't @ me.

Waltz of Rage works great with deathtouch or lifelink creatures. Or both.
Also with all these impending creatures, Glissa can remove 3x counters off them. Keep that interaction in mind.
Lol that "locked room" outro was great 😂
I LOVED get out by Jojo. I’m a 36 yo woman now but what a bop that was.
Can't wait for the full Duskmourn release! 🃏👀
get em’ dev!! i know what wwf was made of🤙🏾💪🏽💪🏽
Overlord of Balemurk for Impending cost on turn two, turn three Render Inert to remove the counters and he becomes a creature, should be able to attack that turn too.
waltz of rage and a 1/1 death touch = board wipe
Who will win? A whole board of jacked creatures or one deathtouchy boi? :3
new viewer: this was great man thanks so much for the hard work… can’t wait to watch more stuff from you in the future!
Not sure why but it irks me that the room enchantments don’t always have the cheaper room on the left side. Why randomize it! Don’t they know we got OCD outchea?
It seems like if a card has an unlock effect, and a static effect, the unlock is on the left, and static is on the right. Not completely random.

lets go!!
I definitely started singing while you were rambling about pronouncing thesaurus

Its very possible that the Overlord could make a reanimator decklist, but it would be significantly different style. Just needs the right cards.
I think Ghostly Dancers brings things to hand to avoid the possible feel bad of returning a room, and having both doors locked because it wasn't cast.
you can still unlock doors for mana when the room is flickered
yes, you are the oldest man. i still get the references though :D
Fear of Exposure: “A mouth like that can never be resisted…”
Came here for the previews; stayed for the grandparents' toilet.
I liked the rip chain toilet joke. Good Dev… good Dev… (strokes ponytail as you curl up and begin to purr)
Get out (the song) was good.
Get out (The film) I didn't see yet.
Get out (The card) look nice.
I like the fact that this black overlord can find you zoraline and put targets in the graveyard for it to return.
Dissection Tool makes me realise that maybe Wizards banned Nadu, because they knew they couldn't simply ban the enablers as there was another 0-cost equipment in the pipeline.
Sunspine Lynx into Waltz of Rage could be pretty good. Big red will like this addition.
JoJo reference!!!!!!
Dev talking about magic cards is my asmr

Rock on Dev, thanks for another great spoiler szn
I went to a taco time that had that kind of toilet
Beastie Beatdown is 2 +1/+1?
Yup
I like the dancers that unlocks a room, for if you so private office to blow up board and follow up turn play the dancer to unlock lecture hall give hexproof and eerie all in turn 5 if your lucky
Waltz of Rage immediately going into my Judith deck
You can cheat Overlord of the Balemurk and attack at turn 3 if you remove the counters by sacrificing Vampire Hexmage.
Dissection Tools might be very good.
Theoretically being stuck in an existing room of your own would somewhat protect you from Duskmourn - but still a solid bit.
I mean, has everyone forgotten Mike Flores' seminal "Who's the Beatdown" article ??????
Waltz of Rage in Izzet with that new blue 10/1 would be fun.
Cast Marina to unlock that door! :D
Tom Bombadil is a 5 color "Enchantment" commander, but specifically Saga's.
There's also Go-Shintai of Life's Origin, but that one is specifically for shrines.
Tom Bomb is a five color enchantment (saga) commander.
thanks always dev!
Note for Marina, they've added enchantment lands to the set too~
Kinda won me over with the overlord. I think if the body is gravy and you’re playing for the mill, it’s pretty good
In old houses in the UK we still have pull chain toilets. I know what you mean Dev and I'm under 30.
Oh, i spent a green, a black, and a white, and 2, and i manifested Dev.
My xmas fairy land so far is using rite of the moth to reanimate valgovoth on turn 4 and use waltz with him on turn 5 on curve. 9 damage definitely wipes the board and he has life link so you gain huge health to use to cast your oppenents cards. 😮
Cartoosh/trail comander? That sounds fun
How does the ufo card not have FLASH?!? That’s like… flavor ya know?
It's the end of you and me, it's too late and I can't wait for you to be gone 🎶
My creature subtype would be elder millennial lol
I really want to build blue white control with rooms for standard. Probably a fringe deck but keys to the house makes this really possible
Engagement token. Also Ta for the videos, my man.
Waltz of Rage with a deathtoucher? Maybe some other creature that cares about itself dealing damage?
Dissection Tools finally gives Nadu a free equipment on arena
Dissection Tools is the thing that Ygra needed to go infinite with Carmelia
You my spirit animal dev
I dont think Unidentified Hovership is all that good. We have established that Manifest Dread is a 2 mana ability... So this means the card is more like a 5 mana 2/2 vehicle that crews for 1 that exiles and creature on ETB... but, you could argue that the vehicle might never die so the opponent might never get to MD... So split the cost. This makes the card basically a 4 mana exile a creature sorcery that has a weak creature bonus...
Beastie beat down adds two +1/+1 counters
I am also tired of saying "Sorcery would be better"
It's obvious. And if it costs less mana it would be better. If it's power and toughness was increased it would be better. It would be better if the creature had Trample. It would be better if the card was better.
So many Magic players complain about power creep, but then also so many Magic players complain about cards not being powerful enough.
Thanks.
Danke
Its dev from thể place! 🥰🥰
The hovership can be removed with the first ability on the stack, then the second triggers before the first resolves...right...? Then that would mean the player never gets to manifest because they didn't get a card exiled....right? Seems like some fun jank to build around

How did dev read Waltz of Rage and Dissection Tools back to back and not see them as a combo?
Am I wrong in thinking that with Keys to the House you can play rooms of any colour no matter what colours your deck actually consists of, as long as you pay the activation cost of the key's second ability?
A Room has to be on the battlefield for you to control it. The only way Keys works with off-color Rooms is if you have some way to get the Room onto the battlefield without casting it. Then it enters with both doors locked and you can unlock them with the Keys.
@@JasonOshinko Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I watched the video right after I woie up so now it's even strange to me why I asked :D ...
Feeling sad that Katildz and Hallowed Haunting rotated with these new treats😢
Why give monored an anthem effect that synergizes with the deck? I can't wrap my head around this
I’m sure his video was fine, sure it’s fine.
I love the references, but I'm older than you.
I'm sure he's fine.

There is no exiled card, you don't own it, it doesn't exist even in exile it no longer exists, also the hovership specifies "card's owner" and tokens aren't cards. So I if you exile a token, there shall be no manifesting dread what so ever. At least I think so? Am I wrong?
You're correct. If you exile a token, nothing else happens.
...Because you "rip" the creatures and vehicles from the top of your deck...
WUBRG in standard....gonna need better lands for that
anyone think having all your creatures with 1 1 counters being able to unlock rooms is good (soul cauldron)?
