It's a sad day that this series is ending! What a great series. I need to go back and watch from the start since I have a bunch of new decks.

Understandable that this series would have to end eventually. There's a finite amount of underused cards. Looking forward to what you start doing next, especially (hopefully) more deck techs as the ones you build are usually more budget friendly haha

Hey Demo, I have absolutely loved this series so much so that I created a list of all the cards from each of your episodes. If you need it sending to you to help you with your final episode then let me know and I can send it to you. Keep up the great work for MTG community as it’s always good to hear your views on the subject matter of the day. Best regards Stu

Thanks for this effort Big D. I started playing Commander in October of last year. This series is how I found your channel as I was consuming as much knowledge as I could on the plethora of cards I have never used. Looking Forward to the future series and content.

I have a 5-color Garth deck with a wizards tribal theme, and vedalken aethermage is a great tutor. At the top end, I can fetch cyclone summoner to wipe the board, or I can get Ertai to counter stuff. Wizards are deep enough that there’s usually a creature that’s relevant for most board states.

Great Series! Thank you for all your hard work and giving me fun deck ideas.

This series got me hooked to your channel and has always been great content, thanks for all the recommendations!

This series has really helped me putting some more spice into almost all of my deck. Awesome series!

Thanks for all the effort Demo. I really enjoyed all of these.

This was such a fun series to watch and look into. Found a lot of gems and also some cards I had been just sitting on.

Loved this series. Can’t wait for the next one! Thanks

I was drafting a chaos draft with friends and had vedalken Æthermage in my deck, I actually managed to bounce a sliver back to my opponents hand. It won me that game!

Amazing series, really going to miss it! Love your content!

Sad to see this series go. Your first videos actually inspired me to buy some of those underrated cards for reselling which jumpstarted a whole hobby/business I'm very passionate about. Thank you for that, and also, best of luck with your future series. I know I'll be around for it.

wheel of sun and moon in a bant deck with energy field is a very nice synergy. I had a enchantment deck that also included greater auramancy and sterling grove and thus all my enchantments were untouchable.

Demo I’ve been watching this from the beginning and have bought many of the cards to give them a shot. Thank you for all your heard work, I really enjoy your videos

This has been a lot of fun. Grats

What a great series! It’s what got me to watch your channel. I’m excited for the future, but a bit sad it’s ending. Gotta say, Trade Routes is criminally underplayed. It’s amazing in cycling decks, wheel decks, and anything else that has discard synergies. One mana to discard a dead land and draw a card, plus whatever other triggers you have on board!

You did it man! You made to the end mate, congratulations.

I've been watching from the beginning and have always looked forward to each episode. Sad to hear it come to the end phase, but looking forward to all your other content.

Fantastic series, really enjoyed your insights

Thanks for this series. Appreciate the vids!

Loved that serie... Many cards I used to played and now some find a new home in my commanders again :)

thx a lot, the best series of that type on youtube

"Void" depicts Urza in his Powersuit during the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria. Kev Walker, Ron Spencer, & Rob Alexander are incredible artists.

Well of Knowledge goes in my Kruphix deck perfectly. Sometimes I have plenty of mana floating across turns without my X draw spells so I just dump the mana into Well of Knowledge. My opponents barely ever uses it and if they do they are usually behind and desperate for cards.

brilliant series, I've been inspired!

What a run, this is super super, good series, good job

Noooo, these were my favourite vids you did! Obviously it had to end somewhere, and my wallet will enjoy that. Appreciate all the effort 🤘🍻🪦

pretty great series, glad yt recommended it a long time ago

I've really enjoyed this series - thanks for highlighting so many lesser known cards, it's been really interesting - I look forward to the new series (and to seeing your top 20 from this series). I've got a question about a card (for Demo, or anyone else who feels like weighing in) - what's your opinion on Power Leak (enchant enchantment for 1U, basically adds an upkeep cost to the target enchantment of pay two life or 2 colorless)? I'm thinking of it as a semi-answer to things like Smothering Tithe (at least it maybe slows them down a bit) in my Jalira deck, which kinda lacks answers once things are on the board. Not sure it's good enough, but it struck me as a maybe interesting approach.

Excited for cards by set! I am a big fan of Block commander. A custom format my playgroup came up with. You can pick any commander, but all you maindeck cards have to be from 1 or 2 blocks + 1/2 small sets ( like portal, starter 1999, or conspiracy). We all use the same sets during a session. The rules aren't set in stone yet. But this is generally how we do it and it's been fun! You end up having to use a lot of commons and uncommons. Also, you have to be careful of mana symbols since your lands are a majority basics

This was an amazing series

Agree with Uba Mask. I run it and the new Urabrask in Prosper. Value for me and potential hose for opponents. Thanks for bringing Uncage the Menagerie to light. Always looking for cards like that. Vedalken Aethermage is going to go in right next to Imperial Recruiter in my Veyran deck. Thanks for all the content. Looking forward to your new series upcoming.

I started watching you with this series and its has been a God-send. 23,000 cards?! Thanks. Thank you so much for all that work. Sad to see this go but I understand. Got lots of good cards for my Mardu creature control/punish build from this episode. Cheers!

I haven't gone through every video, but have through a lot. Discovered a bunch of old cards but more specifically ways to play hidden gems that I hadn't considered. By proxy, this channel has leveled me up as an EDH player, so thank you. Not sure if it was ever in a video, but Orbs of Warding is a criminally underplayed card that seems innocuous until people realize that their tokens do no damage and they can't target you. The type of utility card that seems like a do-nothing until all of a sudden it is doing a whole lot of somethings.

Damn, any other YT MTG shill channel would crank out these videos forever. Respect to you, glad to have watched this series from beginning to end

Sad to see the series end :( but glad to have seen all these cards I've never seen before

Oh well. It was good while it lasted. Many times I've surprised people in my playgroup, using the hidden gems you showed us. As someone who started playing way back in the Masques block, some of the cards where old friends with whom I'd lost contact, but mostly they were a nice surprise. Thanks for the great journey, Demo!

I've watched a ton of these and have bought and used a bunch of the cards. I bought "uncage the menagerie" for the same reason you stated. I've never actually put in in any decks though. It always ends up being cut, which brought me to an idea for what your next series could be...."101st cards". Pretty similar idea but also different.

Trade Routes also lets you tap the land, float the mana, then return it to hand, play that land as land for turn, then use it again.

The coolest thing about World Queller (and effects like it) that wasn't mentioned is that you can SAY you're doing something, and, if anyone decides to respond to it, because the choice is made on resolution, you can pick something else. Like, if you say "At the beginning of my upkeep, queller artifacts", and someone says "in response I sacrifice my Command Sphere, you can then say, "alright, world queller enchantments" or something. Do note: if no one responds, your choice IS locked, as you're proposing a shortcut when you do this.

Oh hey, I won a game not too long ago with Trade Routes. That card plus Time Warp and Mystic Sanctuary.

I’ve got vicious shadows in my Kresh deck and oh boy does it put in work

For an added point to Void, you could also choose 0. This will then wipe out all tokens on the board if they are the issue, like chum blockers or they are massing tokens for huge swing. You wont get any discards probably, but you will see their hand. So, thats still a bonus effect. Also for Wand of Denial, you could also target your self. you can use this to put things you want into you graveyard. Also its like a pseudo-scry, look at the top card if you like it put it back if not pay two life put to the grave. I can think of a bunch of decks where that would be useful. It may not be the most efficent way to do this but the ability to target an oppenent is very versatile.

I play vernal bloom in my omnath locus of mana deck. it's a great card in a mono-green deck where the effect is assemetric because it naturally effects all of your lands.

I can say I lost a game due to a vedalken aethermage. He played it and bounced the constricting sliver holding onto his win con and won that turn due to it.

Wheel of Sun and Moon is an absolute bomb in Scion of the Ur-Dragon. Some on targets Scion, i use his ability to grab a Hexproof Dragon, spell fizzles, and the Dragon goes back into my Library ready to use again for the next targeted spell.

I play uncage in a +1 counter/hydra deck. Also for X=3 mana you can get evolution sage and fertilid. Ever 2 mana is a basic land and proliferate from that point. Plus getting an extra card like managorger hydra or Rishkar

I've used well of knowledge. I love the card for decks that have trouble with card draw or generate oodles of mana. I've found in games my opponents don't use the two mana draw a card ability often limiting it's drawback.

Final ENTRY!!! WHA!!!! My fav of your videos!

I have vicious shadows in my Nekusar deck where I load up their hands, play stax so it's harder for them to play anything, then use things like vicious shadows to do damage based on hand size

You can also choose 0 for Void and blow up all tokens, maybe some mana rocks depending on your play group's power level. I could see either being useful too

Ward of bones looks really neat! It would be just a little cooler if it also say they cant have more handcards then you in any time.

Ward of Bones is amazing in a Belbe deck, it can lock your opponents lands while you get 6 mana every turn to cast a bunch of stuff.

Uba Mask is crazy. Never seen before! I still run Vernal Bloom in my Multani (OG) deck. It’s awesome. Edit: I run Warping Wail in my Oswald Fiddlebender deck, specifically for the Vandalblast 😁

With Wizardcycling, you can even go and get Crib Swap for removal in a pinch.

I use Uncage the Menagerie for mana ramp on ETB. Common creature ramps are 3 CMC, but then it cost you 5 to cast. Then wait for the next turn. The reason you don't see this card on play. Ranger of Eos is better at 4 CMC and 900+ 1 CMC creatures to choose from. Honorable mention Allosaurus Shepherd, Deathrite Shaman, Esper Sentinel, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Serra Ascendant and Mana Dorks.

I have wargate in my Arcades defenders deck. It's a great piece to get my infinite mana engine going so I can play my whole deck in one turn.

Recently played a game where I used Mana Geyser to get enough mana to put out Vicious Shadows and Fiery Emancipation. I then proceeded to sac a couple of devil tokens and watched life totals simply evaporate. Good times.

Thank you for reminding me to put Tidal Control in my crab tribal deck

Veilstone amulet would be great in a Feather deck. Hold up a cheap instant to target the angel and get to keep reusing it to give your board pseudo hexproof.

Trade Routes is great in Tatyova with cards like Exploration.

One interesting thing about Vernal Bloom (and this would apply to Nissa from War of the Spark) is that for shock lands, trioms, etc, it adds GREEN mana even if you tapped the land for a color other than green.

Una mask is fantastic in my Akuta, Born of Ash deck

Wand of denial is great... it does it at instant speed, it shuts off top of deck tutors haha

Trade route for Simic Landfall deck Commander OO What a beauty!

There’s another card, “step through” that has wizardcycling for 2.. It’s 3UU Return two target creatures to their owners hands. A little more useable in its sorcery mode, and cheaper to wizardcycle. Just thought I’d mention, I knew about veldelken aethermage but just found out about step through.

vedalken aethermage is a tutor in my inalla deck. its hilarious because no one expects the wizard cycling :P havent actually gone against a sliver deck yet so no idea if its worth bouncing a sliver instead of just cycling for one of the many combo pieces in a wizard tribal commander deck.

My local lgs had a copy of void in foil, beautiful card was only marked 12$ had to pick it up

Vedalken athermage sees play in my first sliver deck because of my changelings and if I cascade into it I can return a silver to my hand for more cascades

Thanks, never heard of World Queller before. Might put it in Atla for some quality egg cracking

No, i dont want this serie to end :O But i ant wait for the best of !

Would you say uba mask is better than the new capenna urabrask, since it’s an artifact so it might be harder to get rid of

You should have mentioned the awesome synergy between Wheel of Sun and Moon and Energy Field. It's very powerful and super fun... for you at least.

Wand of Denial is aptly named for "To top of library" tutors.

Ubamask is great in certain decks such as prosper.

Thank you Demo!!

Damn, Demo, I'm kind of sad to see this series end. Thanks for it, though.

World Queller pairs really well with Minthara.

i want to find a better home for it but i remember using Uncage the Menagerie for Slivers since several slivers share cmc's it wasn't doing much for me but i think it might work better in decks with lots of options to pick im thinking of trying my 5-color flicker deck with it to get christmas targets for scenarios Wand of denial:....HOLY CRAP! i didn't even know that existed infact we just got a brand new legendary thats perfect for this its the brand new Captain N'ghathrod from bauldr gate and its because of that second part. "At the beginning of your end step, choose target artifact or creature card in an opponent’s graveyard that was put there from their library this turn. Put it onto the battlefield under your control." there's

Season 1: Legacy legal cards Season 2: Modern legal cards Season 3 (The Future Reboot Spinoff with Celebrity Guests): Pioneer legal cards?

I did once hard cast vedalken aethermage to bounce a morophon

Could someone elaborate why I can’t sacrifice commander sphere in response to world queller picking artifact??

For Veldalken Aethermage - remember that Changelings are Slivers ;-)

I honestly started playing Uncage once I saw this in my rin and seri deck since I had so many 2-4 CMC creatures

I have a Sliver Deck, close friend of mine has a wizard deck with a lot of cycling Somehow he either doesn't have Vedalken Æthermage or I have gotten lucky every time

I think one of the big things with cards like vernal bloom is giving your opponents resources. I feel that if you’re not playing a group hug deck, a lot of players are super stingy about adding anything that could help an opponent as well. At least in my local meta.

Sad to see this series come to an end but I suppose you can only continue it for so long. Looking forward to the new stuff you have planned though

Thelonite Druid would go really well into a Yedora deck

I actually just put a world queller on my Hokori dust drinker deck last week 👍👍 Hasn't hit the battlefield yet

Somewhat unrelated thought - Secret Salvage in a Dragon's Approach deck (or any of those other ones)

Awesome. Might I suggest that you alternate between OLD set and Newer set. Because I'm never going to afford anything from Alpha, Beta, Revised, so there's not a lot of use for me to tune in to the first couples of sets. So, start off with the base set, then hop to Mirrodin, go back to Arabian Nights, then hop back to Darksteel, etc.

Idea for a series. 10 best/ worst cards beginning with the letter “A” 10 best/ worst cards beginning with the letter “B” And so on

Like 420, comment 69…niiiice I’m really gonna miss this series, but I will also be going back and watching the previous episodes. Can’t wait to see what you do next :)

Uba mask is so fun in Prosper decks

23:04 I don't know about that: since its identity is colorless, only a colorless commander can play it, it's not like cards with devoid or cards that have a generic mana cost.

Dang, really sad to see this series go away, but i guess there are only so many cards. Would be cool to see a spinoff series that pits the cards against each other. Which is better for ramp? removal? card draw? top 10 vs top 10... something like that

Oh no... my favorite series ever!

Hey, great video, but you did my boy dirty. Vicious Shadows is a SAC DECK card, or token deck card, not (especially) a mono-red deck card. I run it in my 5-color tokens deck and it is a banger of a win-con.
