Guy. Dude. Nerd. Listen up. You are my TCG comfort. I stopped playing tcgs and ccgs years and years ago but I love magic with a passion. You are literally every memory of my favorite hometown card shop on Friday night. I hope you understand that for those of us who don't have the time or commitment necessary to keep up with MTG like it deserves, you are the WHOLE community. Tolarian is awesome and rhystic studies is my favorite content creator, but you... you are my favorite magic player. Thanks brodah. I wish you all the success under a dominarian sun.
Some days I think, "Hey, I could probably be a Magic content creator" and then Dev comes along with "Quirion my wayward son" and I remember that it's best left to the professionals
Dev, you're the man. Reading all the comments of people that have come to love you over the years is amazing. You get invited into all of our homes when we play your videos, amd you're a welcome guest. Nothing but love for you dude. Keep on keeping on!
Ratadabrick deck that has gotten me into the top 40 in Mythic and holding strong. I haven't seen anyone else playing, but it is legit: "Just Kill Me" Deck 4 Dennick, Pious Apprentice (MID) 217 2 Junji, the Midnight Sky (NEO) 102 4 Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim (DMU) 198 1 Swamp (UST) 214 4 Plaza of Heroes (DMU) 252 4 Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (DMU) 107 1 Island (UST) 213 4 Shattered Sanctum (VOW) 264 2 Ao, the Dawn Sky (NEO) 2 2 Plains (UST) 212 4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (VOW) 38 4 Raffine's Tower (SNC) 254 4 Raffine, Scheming Seer (SNC) 213 4 Shipwreck Marsh (MID) 267 3 Adarkar Wastes (DMU) 243 4 Ratadrabik of Urborg (DMU) 213 1 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire (NEO) 278 1 Otawara, Soaring City (NEO) 271 1 Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire (NEO) 268 1 Toxrill, the Corrosive (VOW) 132 2 Toluz, Clever Conductor (SNC) 228 3 Ertai Resurrected (DMU) 199 Toxrill is kinda a test card, probably should be another Ertai, but so far has not cost me any games, and has won me won. Still, usually gets connived away. Also, Dennick has overperformed (Meaning it is decent and not just filler like I originally thought.) Stops the reanimator from Gix and other graveyard shenanigan's like Bloodthirsty and is decent early aggro deterrence (Beware that Dennick turns off one mode of Junji though)
Llanowar Greenwidow's artwork looks like it was a leftover from Universes Beyond The Lord of the Ring - the spider being Shelob and the little guy in the front being Sam.
This new Sheoldred is amazing and going to stomp on lots of combo/control decks in edh. I love anti draw and its about time they made a better Underworld Dreams.
Dev please give mr. Orfeo a chance. I don’t here anyone talking of him but he is pretty crazy now with the new set. Makes Shivan devestator a game ender.
Bless you magnificent person. Never ever ever change the naming convention of “list of X cards” and then doing some multiple of X instead =) If I counted correctly it was 16 HM’s named individually. Let’s see if there’s more in the list itself (I’m betting there will be). Price is Right rules apply, I guessed 35 and we’re already at 16+ the list.
While I agree that Ratadrabiik of Urborg can be clunky, I just love the potential of it. If you can clone it, the clone will die to the legend rule, and you get it back as a non-legendary clone, which is where things get really fun and nasty. Think commander and give this myriad. Have it attack, and you get three Ratadrabik token copies. The original is blocked and killed, and you get another three (because the newly made copies trigger). Now give a fun legendary myriad. Once that attacks, there will be three legendary tokens that die to the legend rule. Each will cause the six Ratadrabik tokens to trigger. You get 18 non-legendary token copies of that myriad legend. Legendaries like Ghost Council of Orzhova are somewhat boring in this, because that's only 18 life from a single opponent. Same with Obzedat, Ghost Council - that's only 36 life. Ayara, First of Locthwain, however, can outright kill players. First one is 1 life. 2nd to enter is 2 life. But one myriad attack cycle is 21 (three enter, then die, then 18 are brought in). That's 231 life, just from ETB. Hour Glass Coven - now we're talking. That nets you 42 hags, the hags are all 23/23 creatures. Bring in 10 Hag of Mage's Doom to give them "Ward - pay 20 life" and maybe 20 Hag of Scoured Thoughts so everyone else will mill 100 cards on your next upkeep? Iona, Shield of Emeria (not legal in commander though). You get 18 of them. Your opponents cannot cast any coloured spells. Giada, Font of Hope - I'm not 100% certain, but I think the 18th token copy you put onto the battlefield will 171 +1/+1 counters. But it can be far more fun. Gonti, Lord of Luxury. "look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. You may look at and cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell." You can do that EIGHTEEN TIMES! Well, that's not counting the three that entered due to myriad. So 21 times, really. But that's not the most fun/most horrid thing you can do. I think this might be it: Umbris, Fear Manifest. "Whenever Umbris or another Nightmare or Horror enters the battlefield under your control, target opponent exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a land card." You end up with 21 Umbris, Fear Manifest entering the battlefield in this hypothetical. The first one will trigger twice - once from the original, then itself. In all, this will trigger 1 + 2 + [...] + 20 + 21 times. That is 231 times. I am not a commander expert, but I'm fairly certain this will remove least 1 player's library. I think 42 is about the norm. That means 3 average commander decks will have around 3 x 42 = 136 lands in them. Looks this will exile enough cards to kill any opponent who is forced to draw cards. It does require a LOT of setup though. Unfortunately this is the wrong colour combination for commander if Ratadrabik is your commander.
DMU gets a 8/10 for me. Reminds me of the Invasion Block in one Set. I can't wait to see what "Realmbreaker" does.(probably Thran Portal for domain/wubrg) Only gripe is the extra math involved with DMU i.e. Domain, tokens+1 / life+1, "costs x less where X = to _____". Not an issue on Arena as cpu maths for you, in Paper it may be confusing for newer players. Went 3-0 Fri prerelease on the back of Sphinx of Clear Skies & Tatyova in BUG (Yavimaya coast was my promo :-I ) 2-1 Sat, with Esper Flyers ft Raff & Elas.
How does Shivan Devastator compare to Stonecoil Serpent? I mean, SD does cost one additional red mana, doesn't have trample nor protection, but it comes with flying and haste. The snek was a real evergreen in Eldraine standard.
When I saw Jodah, I knew I had to make a bad pun deck! And my "Mythic Cow" deck certainly is Legend... wait for it... Dairy! But I have to say, I was not expecting it to actually play well! I've gotten quite a few rage scoops already - and the deck is still in my "work in progress" stage.
The valiant that gives soldiers +1/+1 top 3? I haven’t seen him played once on the ladder. I guess this is a personal favorite top 20. All good though. Soul of Windgrace, Sheoldred, Leyline binding, Cut Down, Tear Asunder all widely used more I would put any of those over that card. Ertai has been getting a bad rap but the only deck I really see it really shining in is a deck with 4 Kotose in it. Counter or destroy something then exile all copies can be POG for sure
Dude, ALL the 2-drop anthems are number three, not just the soldiers one. Did you skip through the video or dud you actually watch it? The Merfolk, Goblin, and Elf anthems are all easily among the most powerful cards in the set for eternal formats. If this was a "personal favorites" list, Elas Il-Kor would be number 1, which I make super clear at the beginning g of the video
@@devinrandall4538 again I haven’t seen any of the anthem 2 drops on the ladder.on arena not saying they are not good, you would think if they were the most powerful most of the meta would be running it. There’s just not enough creatures types to support those kind of decks, merfolk, goblins, elfs in standard . For eternal formats, lol. Ok sure, because at the moment right now in standard on Arena the cards are not widely being used. Anthem cards have always been good in a standard environment that have support creatures to make a viable deck. However we just need to wait for a couple more months for the next set to come in and give more support in those creature types to make the decks viable again
literally brewing mono white soldiers while watching this video, hoping thalia is enough to hold off LIly and Invoke Despair long enough to get far enough ahead
I dont like the glass stain artwork but i do like shivan devestator promo art for the lgs. I need more art like that in arena. Other then that best set to open packs. Every rarity has bombs it feels like
Karn’s Sylex is a must play if you are trying UW control. Much better that Depopulate. Deals with all the garbage artifacts and plane walkers that are hard to deal with in UW. So glad we get to play it for two years.
To be honest Jim Davis way of looking at the portal about how good it is but it’s not as good as it is, changed my mind. It is really good but the fact every time it’s a ping to you even when you don’t need it is kinda a downside compared to pains that can give you that colorless and two choices
I dunno why, maybe your hair this video. But I can see the weight you have lost. And I got say Your looking great. I’m so glad you got passed that thing we won’t talk about and to see you know is so amazing. Keep up the work my man it’s working and you look wonderful. Not guna lie I got a little inspired by you. I’ve been super unhealthy and very over weight for a while now and have been in my head about. Seeing you(even if I’m imagining it which i sincerely doubt) do it kinda made me feel like I can. I love you brother even tho I don’t know you. We can just tell your a real genuine dude that I would totally seek out at fnms. Anyway much respect much love huge fan and thank you for the inspiration!
Fun video as usual :). I was surprised not to see the two angels that have been all stars for me so far. I see them on the other side of the table alot too. Serra Paragon with Lillian is stupid and Archangel of Wrath does work. Let us know when you get a chance to play with those two.
I'm formulating an Esper control deck that has a surprise top-end of Zur animating all of the random enchantments I've accrued. I might have to break the mythic wildcard bank tho :(
@@devinrandall4538 not. A tapped 2/1 is not a savannah lions, it’s a completely different card. You think it’s a coincidence he ‘upgrades’ the cards he talks about? The shill line creeps ever onward. What’s the limit?
Fable of the mirror breaker and decks that can use it well are going to define this standard. Another note any creatures that die to cut down, voltage surge, play with fire are barely playable this standard. doing more powerful and valuable things is going to pay off dividends. Meathook, drag to the bottom. Elder Dragon War and Sheoldred are shutting down aggro right now.
Karn's Sylex is a great card. Haven't seen many other people playing but I'm betting it will be everywhere as soon as CGB comes out with a control shell that uses it.
Tribal decks are my favorite thing in Magic! So I was overjoyed with anticipation when they previewed all those new tribal lords for Dominaria United. I don't know who was in charge of designing this set but he/she was either very cruel or just plain stupid. To introduce cool Goblin and Elf lords just when all the good cards from these tribal types just rotated out! No new real interesting support cards in both types to make it worth it to actually play those sparkling and exciting new lords. The same can be said of the Merfolk lord. Only the Cleric and Soldier lords have enough cards to support a playable standard deck. What a waste of good tribal play.
Right, I said to myself "oh boy look at these cool goblins" then tried to make a deck and found out there isn't a single goblin 1-drop left in standard??
Everyone downing Karns bowl. I also do not get it. People saying it's worse than Deed.... It's worse than this monsterously powerful card? Oh no! Apparently people don't remember how amazing that card was. I really don't mind playing a downgraded Uber bomb.
I think the thing that hurts the feeling people have for the set is the fact the format (standard) is so small. I for one hate the current standard because the lack of variety with so few sets. Set has been out less than a week and the game feels stale for me (too many people playing the same crap). But again, it’s not the sets fault. Once more sets drop it should get better
i replaced luminarch aspirant with guardian of new benalia and kaito with lilliana the last hope in my midrange esper connive deck and now it is baaangiiingg with card advantage
also guys guys, hear me out: The Raven Man works amazing with guardian of new benalia's indestructable ability or anything that connives of even Lilliana's +1
the "that guy rapping in the intro" comment caught me with a mouth full of water..... i no longer like the rapping guy either, at least not until my $%^# keyboard dries.
Guys, I talked about Serra Paragon in the sleepers video
Sorry I missed that Dev. I think she should be upgraded but I have a soft spot for bad*ss women :)

Adding two Liesa was my first modification to the list!😁
Thanks!
I'm glad you explained Liliana, case I was thinking only about standard and then you convinced me after the explanation
Hey I just wanted to say, I like your content. I recently got into MTG and I’m really enjoying your videos.
Sylex stops like sac lands and force of will in older formats and can be cast turn 1 so it's possible it sees play there too.
soul of windgrace grabs from all yards too which is nice since everyone plays fetches in most formats
Llanowar Greenwidow's artwork looks like it was a leftover from Universes Beyond The Lord of the Ring - the spider being Shelob and the little guy in the front being Sam.
This new Sheoldred is amazing and going to stomp on lots of combo/control decks in edh. I love anti draw and its about time they made a better Underworld Dreams.
You are right about the uncommons being on point. I like them a lot.
It's about 30 years too late, but having uncommons and even some COMMONS actually be worth buying and playing is a nice change of pace.
Dev please give mr. Orfeo a chance. I don’t here anyone talking of him but he is pretty crazy now with the new set. Makes Shivan devestator a game ender.

Not tryna be weird but it's been a minute since I've seen a video and you're looking leaner. Keep up that good work!
While I agree that Ratadrabiik of Urborg can be clunky, I just love the potential of it. If you can clone it, the clone will die to the legend rule, and you get it back as a non-legendary clone, which is where things get really fun and nasty. Think commander and give this myriad.

Hour Glass Coven - now we're talking. That nets you 42 hags, the hags are all 23/23 creatures. Bring in 10 Hag of Mage's Doom to give them "Ward - pay 20 life" and maybe 20 Hag of Scoured Thoughts so everyone else will mill 100 cards on your next upkeep?
Iona, Shield of Emeria (not legal in commander though). You get 18 of them. Your opponents cannot cast any coloured spells.
Giada, Font of Hope - I'm not 100% certain, but I think the 18th token copy you put onto the battlefield will 171 +1/+1 counters.
But it can be far more fun.
Gonti, Lord of Luxury. "look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order.

DMU gets a 8/10 for me. Reminds me of the Invasion Block in one Set.
I can't wait to see what "Realmbreaker" does.(probably Thran Portal for domain/wubrg)
Only gripe is the extra math involved with DMU i.e. Domain, tokens+1 / life+1, "costs x less where X = to _____".
Not an issue on Arena as cpu maths for you, in Paper it may be confusing for newer players.
Went 3-0 Fri prerelease on the back of Sphinx of Clear Skies & Tatyova in BUG (Yavimaya coast was my promo :-I )
2-1 Sat, with Esper Flyers ft Raff & Elas.
I pulled an Elas on my pre-release today. Went 3-1. Great list Dev
having four mana up as an esper deck and holding ertai and the wandering emperor in hand is obscenely powerful
How does Shivan Devastator compare to Stonecoil Serpent? I mean, SD does cost one additional red mana, doesn't have trample nor protection, but it comes with flying and haste. The snek was a real evergreen in Eldraine standard.
When I saw Jodah, I knew I had to make a bad pun deck! And my "Mythic Cow" deck certainly is Legend... wait for it... Dairy!
But I have to say, I was not expecting it to actually play well! I've gotten quite a few rage scoops already - and the deck is still in my "work in progress" stage.
Like Jim Davis said, 10 years from now, this set is going to be remembered cuz of that goblin 2 drop
True
Serra Paragon all day.
I don't even play standard but I love watching your videos
I didn't hear her through your entire list, so I knew who #1 was going to be... Not that she's format-warping or anything, just a good card.
Sheoldred is the best card, you can’t convince me otherwise
The valiant that gives soldiers +1/+1 top 3? I haven’t seen him played once on the ladder. I guess this is a personal favorite top 20. All good though.

Why haven't you been on command zone?
Stenn def has potential. I think three will be a killer bant super friends deck but we need 1 or 2 more planeswalkers to make it viable
Stenn is pretty neat!! So hard to remove too.
Commenting before I watch: if Sheoldred isn’t on this list, I’m probably liking the video anyways because you’re awesome.

sheoldred does a thing when it enters.... it makes your opponents next draw make them lose 2
That doesn't happen when it enters
Dev, we all want a full track of 600AD, please
I *know* it's not as good in standard, but I'm so damn excited to build around Rith. A Naya fight deck with Right just sounds like a blast

Love the Sengir Glampire tag, would vote that very highly for your given pro-wrestling pseudonym
Temporary lockdown hasn't been as good as I thought, maybe it just needs the right deck
All these years i secretly like the rap at the beginning and wanted to know who it was. Thought you were finally about to tell us
How viable is Zur with all the NEO enchantment creatures? I feel like it could be good in Standard even if you never activate its ability.
DEV JUST reminded me of the Arrested Development song: "Mr. Wendell"...sweet...!
Dude this was so rad!
if you copied shivan with a mirrym would the copy come with the counters on it too?
"I haven't seen too much of 'this card' in the early season."

Speaking of the intro song i would love a link for it as i am always in to qwerky raps and tbh it actually sounded pretty dope and on beat.
Fable of the mirror breaker and decks that can use it well are going to define this standard. Another note any creatures that die to cut down, voltage surge, play with fire are barely playable this standard. doing more powerful and valuable things is going to pay off dividends. Meathook, drag to the bottom. Elder Dragon War and Sheoldred are shutting down aggro right now.
Yea brutal cathar sucks now just because of cut down
Karn's Sylex is a great card. Haven't seen many other people playing but I'm betting it will be everywhere as soon as CGB comes out with a control shell that uses it.
I still can’t believe liliana is back in standard
Am currently playing the 2 drop elf lord in standard with the green defiler and loving it. It isn't a great deck, but it's fun when it goes off lol.
Love your videos Dev!! I'm the 420th like and I just smoked a J so it's fitting XD
Tribal decks are my favorite thing in Magic! So I was overjoyed with anticipation when they previewed all those new tribal lords for Dominaria United. I don't know who was in charge of designing this set but he/she was either very cruel or just plain stupid. To introduce cool Goblin and Elf lords just when all the good cards from these tribal types just rotated out! No new real interesting support cards in both types to make it worth it to actually play those sparkling and exciting new lords. The same can be said of the Merfolk lord. Only the Cleric and Soldier lords have enough cards to support a playable standard deck. What a waste of good tribal play.
Right, I said to myself "oh boy look at these cool goblins" then tried to make a deck and found out there isn't a single goblin 1-drop left in standard??
I’m very new to magic can someone please explain why cult conscript is not a awful card?
SBMtg I think you are missing out on the fun of Get away car and virus beetle.
Everyone downing Karns bowl. I also do not get it. People saying it's worse than Deed.... It's worse than this monsterously powerful card? Oh no! Apparently people don't remember how amazing that card was. I really don't mind playing a downgraded Uber bomb.
Does that tapestry on the wall say OKINAWA?!?!? :)
"Blake Shelton song" got me good
P bad dad make that entire intro play
I do enjoy the coffee sidebar.
I've been playing Ertai in a esper blink deck (standard) and its pulled off some ridiculous stuff so far
"Quirion my wayward son!"
Interesting that Quirion Beastcaller is the first and only Dryad Warrior.
I think i laughed way more than i should have in this video
I like the guy rapping in the intro… 🫂
how the hell would Jonah get to triple digits? :0
Pretty generic coment, but thanks for the content, it just lights my day
Was waiting for this since fucking release day.
I feel like dev said the same thing about Dina
Sengir Glampire?
I think the thing that hurts the feeling people have for the set is the fact the format (standard) is so small. I for one hate the current standard because the lack of variety with so few sets. Set has been out less than a week and the game feels stale for me (too many people playing the same crap). But again, it’s not the sets fault. Once more sets drop it should get better
"Eldraine is OP! Can't wait for it to rotate!" ::rotates out:: "There's not enough cards now." :(
jaya was clutch in a boros aggro deck
i replaced luminarch aspirant with guardian of new benalia and kaito with lilliana the last hope in my midrange esper connive deck and now it is baaangiiingg with card advantage
also guys guys, hear me out: The Raven Man works amazing with guardian of new benalia's indestructable ability or anything that connives of even Lilliana's +1
he also works amazing with channel
Sorry that you don’t like the guy in the intro. His verses were great. Hooks were kindof weird lol but the verses were fire.
I like rap intro guy...
the "that guy rapping in the intro" comment caught me with a mouth full of water..... i no longer like the rapping guy either, at least not until my $%^# keyboard dries.
Thank you.
Let's go white black Clerics
Love this set
Serra Paragon not in top 20?!
Angel lurrus getting no love
