Thinking the face of the zombie deck looks like perhaps a mummified Temmet Vizier of Naktamun, could potentially be since he was azorius so now he is potentially a mummy, just add black and it fits the theme
It would be cool but boy would that be silly. Sac a souls of the lost to mill yourself, embalm for 2, sac again for a gratuitous mill again. Slap a mondrak in there, maybe a screeching scorchbeast
As the Energy King I'm super excited to see an Energy Commander with access to Green; I have 4 decks that utilize the energy mechanic already and this one seems like it'll be vehicle focused. I'm betting Saheli lets you crew vehicles with energy instead of needing to tap creatures or buffs artifact creatures you control for energy.
Technically Mummy is a creature type, but it’s only appeared in silver-border. Also, it would be hilarious if by “grow your mummy army” it meant that you literally make Mummy Army tokens. Lol
Yep, and it seems like he’s just mad at everything related to mtg for some reason. Trying to relate to the audience I guess but it’s really not all that terrible if we all keep playing
I think it's going to do both. The face commander is a mummy, and only Embalm makes mummies. Maybe they can redefine eternalize lore-wise and make it so it does mummies too? And I think having too many 4/4s might make for repetitive combat math, idk
Given the set is a race themed set, and will have vehicles.....what if Saheeli nets you energy when artifacts ETB, but lets you use energy to crew vehicles instead? That'd be an interesting design that could work with all the existing vehicles, and also the new ones that might have energy mechanics to them.
Madison Li's ability is similar to that, but getting thr energy when casting an artifact, which is weaker than entering. If just a guess, could the element of "living energy" actually be creatures, maybe not even artifact creatures? So it could be a balance of getting living (non-artifact) creatures to build up energy, and then use it to boost any artifact creatures?
I really don't think the Esper commander would give Embalm, because that would discourage you from playing cards that already have Embalm/Eternalize because the effect would be redundant. It think it's more likely that the commander does something with zombie tokens, when cards enter or leave the graveyard, stuff like that. Burn through cards probably means surveil and cycling
Ok so i include Hare Apparent with your Ardek ability and then just triple or double up every token and then sac them all to mill all my opponents of all their turns with in a few turns
Wonder if the zombie precon will include one of those Amonkhet block punch out cards with the embalm/eternalize markers, since there will likely be too many cards with those mechanics for the typical 10 tokens included in a precon.
I may be late for the party, but why is no one talking about this sets prime theme? Like it's about a multiplanar RACE grand prix, so there's gotta be a lot of vehicles and/or mounts as a subtheme in both decks and I could also picture Saheli actually have an according vehicle based effect. Not sure about the mummy guy though..
The Science deck is only partially an energy-focused deck, it has a big artifact theme as well so I'm not sure it will go up. The only really expensive card in the decklist is not energy-focused (Nuka-cola vending machine), the rest is bulk pricing for the most. Satya was an ok precon too, but needed a lot of upgrades to make it a bit faster and reliable. If you really wanted to go hard on energy you were better off picking and choosing from those two decks and throwing in some upgrades.
I’m underwhelmed with this Aetherdrift set. They unmagiced the magic set. At least the energy precon isn’t another Jeskai deck. Thank you for at least being different in color. The Esper deck has me curious at least. I like zombies, as it’s one of my favorites! I’ve only been running Dimir zombies because I don’t have a Esper zombie. Depending on what that deck does, I could see a potential upgrade for me. As for the rest of the set, easy pass for me. Gonna wait for Tarkir.
I don't think even planeswalkers can travel to New Phyrexia right now, since it is currently phased out from the rest of the multiverse. So I don't think Tezzeret could get there so easily.
@@auirex4557 most people are excited for Universe's Beyond, that's why they sell so much and why WOTC is leaning into it so hard. It makes money because there is a ton of demand lol You just only ever hear the people complaining because people that are happy don't have a reason to ramble on the internet 😂
Love this game but hate how quickly they pump out sets... I haven't even updated things from the last set. What is wrong with slowing it down and letting things trickle out over the course of decades? They could stop making cards for an entire year and people wouldn't even care
Based on the images, I would guess a distributor accidentally put images up too early, and someone decided to share what was supposed to be on the back end. This is the exact reason stores don't get to see what playmates and such look like during the ordering window. Instead, they only know they are ordering Innestrad Remastered Mythic A...
What happened to the mtg universe? It used to be epic scale conflicts, now between the train hiest, the Stranger Things rip off, and the now lame race 3000, I couldn't be less excited. I'll just wait for the universes beyond and hope they dont fuck it up like the LotR set.
I HATE THE PRECONS are not original anymore why not a ORZHOV ENERGY DECK EH ??? or a RED GREEN ZOMBIE ?? i am tired of the SAME colors for the SAME THING
I guess everyone has their own opinion haha I think I've never been more excited for a set or a deck! I want the Eternal Might precon as soon as possible!!!
Saheeli will have "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell you get *Energy* then you may pay an amount of *energy* equal to that spells cost, if you do copy that spell."
Madison Li was before Satya, I believe.
She was
I couldn’t be less excited for an “in universe” set…..
i think the zombie deck could also use cycling very well with the embalm/eternalize
Thinking the face of the zombie deck looks like perhaps a mummified Temmet Vizier of Naktamun, could potentially be since he was azorius so now he is potentially a mummy, just add black and it fits the theme
99% sure it is he has the same exact sword and whip thing as well as identical clothes (minus the mummy wraps) as the art for temmet
I really hope that we get something like you envisioned for the esper commander; as it's essentially an Altar of dementia in the command zone
It would be cool but boy would that be silly. Sac a souls of the lost to mill yourself, embalm for 2, sac again for a gratuitous mill again. Slap a mondrak in there, maybe a screeching scorchbeast

New precons yeeeeees! ❤
FINALLY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! A TEMUR ENERGY DECK!!!
Technically Mummy is a creature type, but it’s only appeared in silver-border. Also, it would be hilarious if by “grow your mummy army” it meant that you literally make Mummy Army tokens. Lol
If the eternal might deck says grow your mummy army, couldn’t it also be built around amass?
Hoping for a reprint of anointed procession
Has his tone and inflection always been cranked up to 20? I have been having issues watching him in the last year.
Yep, and it seems like he’s just mad at everything related to mtg for some reason. Trying to relate to the audience I guess but it’s really not all that terrible if we all keep playing
@mightyhulk1483 yea, it does feel that way.
It's definitely become unbearable, I don't remember it being this need when I first started watching
I would argue, since it's called ETERNAL Might, it's likely to bring back Eternalize rather than Embalm
I think it's going to do both. The face commander is a mummy, and only Embalm makes mummies. Maybe they can redefine eternalize lore-wise and make it so it does mummies too? And I think having too many 4/4s might make for repetitive combat math, idk
what are the themes if the decks? Red Bull vs Mercedes?

I think the Esper deck commander is Temmet from Amonket, the eternalize token for Temmet looks almost exactly like the Eternal Might commander.
Matchbox or Hotwheels?
Matchbox for authentic replicas… hot wheels for concepts…
@@heresyseedwell said.
Both
man, i really hope I can steal some of these cards for my Satya energy deck
Ok so i include Hare Apparent with your Ardek ability and then just triple or double up every token and then sac them all to mill all my opponents of all their turns with in a few turns

Just throwing it out there aether revolt and all will be one are fantastic energy cards.
Good ideas!!! About the zombies commander, I'm missing the "burn through cards" effect, I was thinking a life lost or payment...
Hoping there would be some new rad counter cards with this set.
The embalm one seems busted imo with token doublers/does not even have to be zombies that get milled
Get ready for that Anointed Procession Reprint...that's all I'm saying...🎉😂
That would be AMAZING!!!
Nah, that's a $60 for one card. That one won't see a reprint in a commander deck besides the secret lair cats and dogs deck

We need more deserts that are decent and hopefully this deck does it
What was the fundraiser at the start? I forgot.
That esper one better be an amass deck
Sweet Baby Inc Consulted on this set. So my expectations are on the floor.
Get over yourself, quit making everything political.
@@elahem6940They made it political by hiring political propagandists.
I was kinda happy about this set. If what you say is true. I'll skip it and buy singles. Not putting any money in their hands.
They've been working with WotC for many years now.
oh ffs LOL, get over it
SCIENCE came out before MH3
The Fallout Science deck is gonna go up in price, ain't it?
The Science deck is only partially an energy-focused deck, it has a big artifact theme as well so I'm not sure it will go up. The only really expensive card in the decklist is not energy-focused (Nuka-cola vending machine), the rest is bulk pricing for the most.

The energy deck is going to make thopters that you can sac for energy counters instead of mana
literally buying the zombie deck to make a new Varina deck
I’m underwhelmed with this Aetherdrift set. They unmagiced the magic set.
At least the energy precon isn’t another Jeskai deck. Thank you for at least being different in color.
The Esper deck has me curious at least. I like zombies, as it’s one of my favorites! I’ve only been running Dimir zombies because I don’t have a Esper zombie. Depending on what that deck does, I could see a potential upgrade for me.
As for the rest of the set, easy pass for me. Gonna wait for Tarkir.
Which one of these contains Stardust Dragon, which one Red Dragon Archfiend…? 😁
the mummy lets you mill cards to pay for colorless costs lmao
You know what would ba twist? If a the race is won by Tezzeret, got a spark, gave it to Glissa and she becomes a phyrexian planeswalker
I don't think even planeswalkers can travel to New Phyrexia right now, since it is currently phased out from the rest of the multiverse. So I don't think Tezzeret could get there so easily.
@ yeah, they also made a BS non explainable situation where completed planeswalkers just suddenly cured themselves.. Jace, vraska, examples
What website is this? (2:07)
I’ll grab Eternal Might for sure and course upgrade it to a 7-8 power🤍💙🖤🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️👍🏼👍🏼💯
oh no my varina deck might have rival
I was literally wondering why they don’t have any esper zombie decks….
The important question is, can we play -mtg- card game on motorcycles in this set?
Energy seems cool I hope they make more cards to use it. I would love some grul energy decks
wilhelt should have learned their lesson with nontoken/token.
I was literally wondering why they don’t have at esper zombie decks….
I thought you were showing off the commander abilities
More energy? Poor mordern ahahaha
SpongeBob SquarePants!!! SpongeBob SquarePants!!! SpongeBob SquarePants!!!
Gonna be honest, I understand the upset and what you're upset about. But this comment is just spam lmao.
@ I’m honestly very excited about this secret lair. I hope we get a Mr Krab Smothering Tithe.

Seriously!? Already!?!
Wtf are you talking about? This is not releasing until February
@mr.wafflesrz1137 I know that but it feels like the spoilers never end.

@@MrSantaklausthat one is amazon 😂
EE-ther 😛
A ether drift is sure to be a flop
Im not very excited for the pod racing set.

Hopefully by 2026 when Elon has made magic great again we will have good sets again
It's too late, I've already got my Atraxa energy deck, don't need no red.
I HATE THE PRECONS are not original anymore
why not a ORZHOV ENERGY DECK EH ???
or a RED GREEN ZOMBIE ??
i am tired of the SAME colors for the SAME THING
My Little Pony, next?
These decks dont look interesting. Hard pass!
I guess everyone has their own opinion haha I think I've never been more excited for a set or a deck! I want the Eternal Might precon as soon as possible!!!
this set looks so goofy
More humanoid commanders zzzzzz couldn't be less attractive rlly
Saheeli will have "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell you get *Energy* then you may pay an amount of *energy* equal to that spells cost, if you do copy that spell."
Thanks, I hate them! And I hate Aetherdrift and all these nonsense sets.
We went from Urza's block to this.
More shitty energy counter mechanics 🙄🙄🙄
Embalm is trash
🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢
