Cut a Deal sucks in my 95 man Commander games, I always deck out instantly

Hey professor can you please make an episode of addressing the shrinkflation... You made a video talking about them increasing the prices soon.... But I think you're overlooking that they're including even less and less booster packs every set that's come out for the last three sets and if you look at the commander Legends set boosters as an example you'll see that it's 15 card boosters and there's only 18 booster packs in it compared to new capena which for the same price was 30 packs of 15 cards.... And it's 24 packs of 20 cards and you might say oh but these draft booster boxes have 20 card packs that's why you get less packs but if you add up the amount of cards you get you're getting less cards than the previous set draft booster box even though the packs contain more cards in them.... So I've seen them go from 36 packs to 30 packs to 24 packs the same goes for the set booster boxes... And nobody's talking about that

I wish I had a partner to decide with them what he lix.

It's not the power level you play at that makes 3cmc rocks bad. Use whatever rocks you want, but they're inherently worse than 2cmc rocks in most cases.

@@employee4275 and if nobody in the groups runs 2cmc ones it DOES NOT MATTER!

that's because they're not and are usually overexaggerating!

@@employee4275 We all run a mix of both, but the amount of 2cmc rocks is very low incomparison to 3cmc ones. Its partially an agreed upon thing to do to slow the games down. Sure, 2cmc ones ARE better. But the 3cmc ones are not bad, theyre just not THE BEST so most of the MTG youtubers have shoved them aside calling them trash.

*laughs in empowered auto generator*

New secret lair vibes

Into the mouth of madness.

Relatable lol

I always buy singles but only if I want the card .. SO why don't we approach buying sealed in this way? Only buy sealed for the joy it'll brings you, not for the gamble. Be okay with dud pulls. Or keeping it on your self for nostalgia. But I only crack what I will enjoy, regardless of their market value.

I will go to my local priter shop, to print singles! wait that sounds wrong... i mean cards!

@@mindlightwave strictly for the nostalgia, that's the reason I bought a ridiculously overpriced Alara Premium Foil booster pack. Cracking it made my early days of magic wash through my memory for an awesome dopamine rush. P.S. I HATE buying boosters.

Crying in lack on money

im just tired of cards with 20 lines of text.

Nobody is forcing anyone to buy a product from every set, don't let FOMO control your decisions.

@@mindlightwave pretty much have to buy double masters though look at the price of 2020's set

@@dshockeybreaks with the price I just can't get a box to open, but I will end up buying a draft pack or two for some casual sealed with my bro

Shrinkflation...less cards same price... Why are set boosters not 20 cards in a pack with 20 card boosters??? Sounds like I'm complaining about something that's not an issue... Of course there's less packs in the set booster boxes because there's more cards in the pack except there's not the last set booster boxes from new capena had 30 packs of 15 cards this one is 18 packs of 15 cars for the same price tamagawa set booster boxes were 30 packs of 15 cards are you telling me that the 18 packs of 15 cards in Commander Legends battles for baldur's gate are worth more than those two

Lol. Dmd

Maybe you can bribe him with like MTG themed food?

sounds fun, do you have a decklist?

Totally agree, way too many new mechanics too

Agree with you... many of us are experiencing product fatigue. I stopped buying a while ago and just visit lgs store for singles here and there.

Kamigawa ? I wanted to draft timespiral remastered but its unaffordable since day 1 :(

I agree with you in that. When kanigawa released at the beginning of the year I just bought a handful of packs. Only this weekend when new cappenna starting being more dominant in draft did I ask my lgs store owner for a draft booster box of kamigawa. I pulled some pretty good cards for my commander decks and i had enough multiple cards left over to make a decent standard deck. They are flooding the market too quickly!

Can't even finish brewing up and deck from a set before the next batch of legends are announced and my interest in building the last set's legendary creatures is gone. Absolutely coming out too quickly. They're over saturating the market with too much commander product.

Old Gnawbone is stronger imo. She doesn't even have to attack for the treasures

If Old Gnawbone can exist, then so can Ancient Copper Dragon. You can argue neither should, and that would be fair. But this is the power creep environment that exists when Wizards decided to actually recognize the format and push cards into it to sell product.

@@erosbronzo6518 Yep, Old Gnawbone was a mistake, too.

It isn’t as good as everyone thinks. In terms of raw power, it is a good effect. However, raw power, power in a vacuum is not the deciding factor in how cards perform. Goldspan Dragon is far better than it for that exact reason. Swings 2 turns faster, and I suspect that in most cases, making a bajillion mana vs about 6 mana in the same period of time is just going to be win more. You can totally abuse it if you try, but there are a lot of cards that are “broken if you just have x” and most of the time, a card with such a powerful effect that has no protection other than a very common form of evasion is not very likely to survive one round around the table.

@@DrewskiTheLegend But that's the thing. In red, having such a dragon that only needs one single good swing, and can do so in a very very very early stage, is what makes Ancient Copper dragon so yucky. It doesn't need to "survive one round around the table" because you sneak it in with sneak attack effects and then reap the reward from the massive mana jolt you suddenly get, and can be done so even in Mono Red. It's not as toxic as many combo pieces are, but I would've been happy if Ancient Copper Dragon instead just said "Roll a D20, then deal as much damage as it rolls to any target." Cheating in large amounts of mana or playing things for free is two out of three of the things that are the most powerful thing in the game, the third one being drawing lots of cards.

What is the Sapphic format ?

Some of us have been playing since the EDH (Elder Dyke Highlander) days! I think they should stop making "made for EDH cards" (too many token generators) and fix the problems inherent to the system. The first deck was a RG Riot theme! Happy pride.

@@PhyrexianFleshgorger My existence isn't politics~

@@sportyeight7769 Search up Sapphic then look at the card Secret Rendevouz again

@@PhyrexianFleshgorger So, straight characters are "politics" too, then... weird

Always play the gayer of two cards.

@@devononair words to live by

100% agree!

@@snackplaylove That's the truth right there!

I felt the same way about the AFR. Not a great set, but draft and pre release were so much fun.

it does not only seem like overcompensating but i think it was maro who directly said they are providing now white with better card draw then they usually would to make white more competitive with the other colors. And while we are talking about white card draw: don't forget (or rather overlook) the new card "Your Temple Is Under Attack". a great modal white card draw or protection spell. It looks even solid for decks with other good card draw colors in it.

I'm just glad I bought the Ur-Dragon back when it was still about $20.

@@jamdaham9054 Back when the 2017 commander decks came out, I drove around to four different stores to find one of the Ur-Dragon decks. SOOOOOOO worth looking for at the time!!!

Good thing they have bounce lands in double masters ....

Kindred Discovery and Deadly Dispute come to mind.

I guess Prof was just sticking to the booster set cards since the Terramancer is from one of the precons

i thought the exact same thing

Ancient copper dragon and stimulus package just don't get cheeks roles

And then a bunch of alliance effects or creature itb stuff

Ancient Copper Dragon will be all sorts of fun with Goldspan Dragon. 🤩

They will become new staples and cost a fortune for the next couple of years XD. But since i barely play with white and only splashes of it, I can and WILL ignore it thankfully.

And that is why it'll be going straight into my Atarka (World Render) deck ;)

The flavor is A+

Agreed! and you can still whiff if you roll a critical FAILURE :P

Most of the reprint value is in the precons lol... Party time in particular. Luckily for me I got a few opponent lands and an archivist of oghma in my draft as well as a borderless bramble sovreign.

Yeah I'm going to have a lot of fun with this draft season. It would be a real shame if it was overshadowed by the next set within a month. Good thing that won't happen haha...

@@dontstealmydiamondsv3156 no shit man. It's just too much. Especially releasing a supposedly premium set into an even more premium set lool

We got spoilers for the next set the same damn day pre-release started lol

I pulled a copy and it went straight into my Sakashima/Kamahl All I Want Is Clones Deck
