Diabolic Intent Non Foil: $8.77 Diabolic Intent FOIL: $8.41 I've seen this on a ton of cards recently, especially the Brothers War foils being absurdly cheap. What do?
Huge shout out to Beezy for the hardened scales > doubling season comment 🎉. In almost any non planeswalker scenario, there is a better choice over doubling season.
I felt identified with the "Grey merchant and the n Grey merchant again because someone had a way of doing it" xD For those wondering: - Necroduality - Cleaver Skaab - Cut in Half - Glasspool mimic - ANY clone. - And many, many other ways...
Also, Aetherflux reservoir is one of my favorite wincons: Play Bolass' Citadel, Sensei Top, Aetherflux reservoir, GG... once I managed to turn 4 Citadel, after a couple of cards played from the deck I stumbled into the top, then sheoldred, so I kept drawing and playing the top until I got to the reservoir, and then I blew the whole table... turn 4 no one had responses, it was awesome
I hit an Altar of Dementia in pack 1 of a draft, then just snatched up all the artifact creatures I could get my hands on. I was able to get the artifact that taps to create a colorless and you gain one life, then a few of the artifact creature that lets you tap it to gain a life. I think Altar would be a super fun commander deck to build.
11:00 if we are gonna just consider the +1/+1 counters aplication. Shouldn't we compare Hardened scales with Branching evolution instead of Doubling Seasons?
May I add, Tibbalt Cosmic Imposter here. It's like $6 now and my last game we had 2 court of cunnings on the battlefield and ulted tibalt essentially playing 4 decks at once!
I will almost always run Alrund's Epiphany over Time Warp/Walk/etc. I pulled 3 borderless versions. And you can foretell it, and you get birds when it resolves.
I like delayed blast fireball in decks like torbran or Gisela. Three mana deal 4 to everything not yours or 6 mana deal 7 with torbran or 10 with gisela :)
Time warp is a bit of a worry with deflecting swat around these days. Cost aside I'd run the other two 5 cmc spells first. It is great, just be conscious when casting!
Placed an order and fyi the suggestion for people to bookmark the nitpicking nerds TCGPLAYER link is genius. Never seen a youtuber suggest that and it makes using your link a no brainer.
I like Command the Dread hoard over Rise of the Dark realms, but every card listed was fairly cheap and will bust games wide open, looks like a great list! Especially with the current price of these cards!
When I saw that diabolic intent was getting a reprint in a standard legal set, I sold mine immediately because I knew I could buy 3 or 4 with the money I got for just one
I downloaded this but have been holding off watching it, because you two are so good at getting me to buy cards with these videos haha. Love you both, hope you're having a great start to the weekend you beautiful people!
Honestly, i would had put Helm of the Hosts on the list as it's potentially the most powerful equipment in the game especially for casual play. Even if it's equipped onto a Reassembling Skeleton it puts in the value.
I know I'm going to get push back for this, but I have found Elesh Norn to be a liability in my metas. It gets stolen and cloned so much that it wrecks me just as much if not more than my opponents.
Great choice in the thumbnail, I feel like holding a fat stack of cash in every single thumbnail will always get clicks even if the video has nothing to do with money.
On the topic of Hardened Scales vs Doubling Season, I am currently running a Hardened Scales in my Simic Ezuri deck though at some point might want to replace it with Doubling Season (assuming the price hopefully becomes not so prohibitive) Ezuri tends to go tall whereas Hardened Scales really rewards you for going wide. Great video as always!
Love the video guys ty for making these! One suggestion i have is to slightly adjust the price tag so that it doesn't cover the text on the card. I've had trouble reading certain parts on some cards.
Great VID appreciate your work - Request another Mono Red Dragon overview to include mana-ramp and should it include 3 plus planeswalkers and if yes, which ones?
This is always one of my favorite types of videos you guys make. Surprised you didn't mention unwinding clock. Down to 3-4 bucks thanks to the reprint.
Question for Joe Cherries: I'm curious. Why do you say that Fetch Lands are better than OG Duals? I'm not debating you, just wanted to hear your logic on that. Thanks! Love your guys videos!
Fetch are all basically rainbow lands, they shuffle the library, they go to the grave yard for things like delve, delirium, or just to be replayed with Crucible of worlds, they get 2 landfall triggers. The list goes on ☺️
Well that's good because I have multiples of all the fetch lands (thanks MH2 and Zendikar Rising!) and the only OG dual that I have is a Tropical Island that I bought because I love Simic. That cost me like a months worth of allowance!
I just wanted to add abaut the "time rules" - and the convesation with Extra Turn spells... I never sow that any one dont play cards for theirs deck that takes a LOT of time on theirs turns... iam pretty sure that a lot decks takes MUCH more time to play, then others decks in 3 turns... and becose of it - the "tume rules" is no longer valid argument for Extra Turns effects - at least in my opinion. IF some group really wat to have TIME rules - they shoud just use "chees clocks" and make evyrone time like 30 minutes - if you pass it, you loose... thats easiest way to "lock" time for eveyrone - and then if some one want to play extra turns spells - he must play fast ;)
I don't get it.... Green gets absolute monsters with keywords and extra abilities at less than the 1 CMC per 1 Power/Toughness of other colors... and that's on top of the absurd ramp Green has.... 5 CMC is pretty hefty in all but Green.... 5 CMC converted to Green feels like 3 CMC.
Arcane Signet is good in every (multicolored) commander deck. It´s a staple in this format. I highly recommend you "Birds of Paradise", if you are looking for "color-fixing" in your three-colored deck with green in it.
Depends on how good the mana base is, and your other options. It's not good as ramp in a green deck, you have better, but if you don't have the shocks/triomes to grab with nature's lore, or you don't have fetches, then it gets a lot better because the fixing is relevant. I have shocks and fetches so I still don't run it in 3 color decks with green
Have you heard the tragedy of Tocasia, Dig Site Mentor?... It's not a tale the Jedi would tell you
None of these cards are worth buying. Just print them for free

The problem with extra turn effects is that they are 100% free. You basically end up paying 0 mana for an explore in the worst case.
These TH-cam videos have to be the most worth watching because they are very entertaining and useful.
Awww, shucks!

Huge shout out to Beezy for the hardened scales > doubling season comment 🎉. In almost any non planeswalker scenario, there is a better choice over doubling season.
Sometimes I’m afraid to make comments like that 🤣
My Ghave deck loves Doubling Season and Hardened Scales ;p
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 My pocket loves Hardened Scaled + Branching Evolution 😄
(Makes sad Lore Counters noises)
Altar of the brood with felidar guardian and restoration angel is always a beautiful combo. I feel like it’s the unsung altar lol
I felt identified with the "Grey merchant and the n Grey merchant again because someone had a way of doing it" xD
For those wondering:
- Necroduality
- Cleaver Skaab
- Cut in Half
- Glasspool mimic
- ANY clone.
- And many, many other ways...

Unwinding Clock is a really good pick as well. Was $30 before being reprinted and is about $4 now
That is a great price drop for sure.
The most worth buying are RL proxys :D
May I add, Tibbalt Cosmic Imposter here. It's like $6 now and my last game we had 2 court of cunnings on the battlefield and ulted tibalt essentially playing 4 decks at once!
I really love how you keep the content coming❤
It only stops when we DIE
I will almost always run Alrund's Epiphany over Time Warp/Walk/etc. I pulled 3 borderless versions. And you can foretell it, and you get birds when it resolves.
The other day I was playing my Nymris flash deck and I commandeered an opponent's Rise of the Dark Realms. Best feeling ever
I like delayed blast fireball in decks like torbran or Gisela. Three mana deal 4 to everything not yours or 6 mana deal 7 with torbran or 10 with gisela :)
i would put the shadowmoor filter lands above pain lands. for any number of colors. and for devoid(wingding) mana.
A lot of those are more expensive, but they are probably better lands. It's hard to say whether they're more "worth their price"
Just remember that Time Warp can be redirected, I've used redirection cards to have them target me :)
Time warp is a bit of a worry with deflecting swat around these days. Cost aside I'd run the other two 5 cmc spells first. It is great, just be conscious when casting!
Placed an order and fyi the suggestion for people to bookmark the nitpicking nerds TCGPLAYER link is genius. Never seen a youtuber suggest that and it makes using your link a no brainer.

Aetherflux is good, but I took it out of my cEDH Jhoira deck. A little too slow.
Love Aetherflux Reservoir, only way to foil that effect? Krosan Grip !!!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆
I swear if that card didn't exist Krosan Grip would have WAY less fans
I like Command the Dread hoard over Rise of the Dark realms, but every card listed was fairly cheap and will bust games wide open, looks like a great list! Especially with the current price of these cards!
Command is more flexible but rise kinda is a fair expropriate
i use command in Greven, just a rise that pumps greven
Defiler of Vigor STOMPS … any mono green deck or +1 counter deck it’s an auto include.
Thank you for your picks Nitpicking Nerds. It is much appreciated.
Glad they could be of help!
When I saw that diabolic intent was getting a reprint in a standard legal set, I sold mine immediately because I knew I could buy 3 or 4 with the money I got for just one
If only there had been a retro border phyrexian altar reprint to complete the set. Definitely picked up the other two.
I'd put Brotherhood's end on this list. It's a new card, but it's *so* good, and currently $4.
I downloaded this but have been holding off watching it, because you two are so good at getting me to buy cards with these videos haha. Love you both, hope you're having a great start to the weekend you beautiful people!

Mystical Tutor is silly good, part of the tutor for a tutor so you can recast your tutor combo.
Honestly, i would had put Helm of the Hosts on the list as it's potentially the most powerful equipment in the game especially for casual play. Even if it's equipped onto a Reassembling Skeleton it puts in the value.

I just bought all 63 Borther's War Retro-Frame Atrifacts! Awesome looking and good prices.
Mikaeus, the unhallowed is also wayyyyy cheaper right now than he has been for a long time
Not sure which is the third best red board wipe. Delayed blast fireball or chain reaction. 🤔
I DBF takes the cake for me as 3rd
I know I'm going to get push back for this, but I have found Elesh Norn to be a liability in my metas. It gets stolen and cloned so much that it wrecks me just as much if not more than my opponents.
