Chariot on 4, Wrenn on 5, create the treefolk, use it to crew chariot, clone the treefolk. Weeeeeeeeeee...... Feel free to do this a turn earlier with any ramp like Jaspera.

It is that man again!

I think the red Adversary is the best 2/2 for 2 with haste is exactly what mono red wants but it also not feeling dead if drawn late into a game that your opponent may have stalled out is huge.

Thanks! spread love and be kind! (Rambling: at fisrt i had a sound in the background and heard spread love eat carrots, which is solid advice... 2nd time around i've heard 'eat kind' whichis well, very good as well like, "treat yourself with kind meals, take care of yourself" what a nice peice of advice. just though i share that too)

Legit look forward to these videos before every set release, thanks Dev!

Dev: Go watch the sleepers video after this... Me, who has already watched it three times: “Okay! 🧟‍♂️”

Subbed for the chrono cross and reptar on ice in the background. Dude knows his stuff

Dev you’re the man! Been following your Channel for 4 years now. First video I watched was a prerelease guide for Ravnica

I'm so excited for this set, Innistrad is my favorite plane by far and I love the direction they took this set. Out of all the cars in this set Champion of the Perished hypes me up the most.

0:25 This made me snort laugh at my desk at work. Dude your brand of humor is so great! 🤣

"you know where you are, you know what this is."

Stop apologizing your puns! Own them and love them!

I think the problem with Primal Adversary is that your spending mana (mostly land) to make creatures that are tapped.

0:59 vote for Pedro.

17:07 That Tovolar alternate art is so freaking sweet. Normally the comic book style is kinda hit-or-miss for me, but THAT iteration is flying on all cylinders compared to the original.

I have loved everything I've seen from this set so far, and I am so excited to take my girl (who LOVES horror stuff and magic) to finally get to play some Innistrad outside of our spooky cube.

Cause “you know how I am”. Dev bringing back the proper grammar 😎

Bro you had me dying laughing, I felt like I was on the end of a hilarious boxing combination after you hit me with like 8 puns in a row

Came here to find some card for my new commander deck with tovolar and it really helped me realize what I need more of. Thank you so much

I've been playing Kessing Naturlist + Sunrise Cavalier into cards like Unnatural Moonrise etc and the cavalier is nuts, even as a 3/3 hasty trample with upsides, the day and night thing happens so often, he is like a mini luminant aspirant. I expect the cavalier to climb higher the more weeks we get into standard. Super good list.

I'm with you Dev...Primal Adversary is the best card in the set. The flexibility to play it on curve for a 4/3 trample, or topdeck it late game and just go bananas. I think it's just gonna be a finisher in like every deck with green in it, bc it doesn't have to just rot in your hand like a typical finisher

spread love and be kind, what a legend

Lier is going to be great in my Vadrok commander deck, and 100 historic brawl. In commander their's only like 15/16 mutate centric cards in jeskai. So the deck is dedicated into trying to draw into those creatures hence an overabundance of draw spells 3 mana or less. But sometimes the deck stalls out when I don't have a draw spell in my hand, and no way to mutate trigger Vadrok to cast one out of my yard either. Lier would allow me to flashback spells out of my yard in case something like that happens. A good back up plan for when the deck isn't cooperating

Meathook and Black Adversary already have slots in my Golgari snow list. Those cards are bonkers!

Dennick does not give you a clue token when the disturbed side dies as it does not go to the graveyard but is exiled instead.

As a personal request I'd love if you'd work in "Chupacabra" in your next intro rhymes again. I miss it.

super strong list, both this one and the sleepers. These lists from Dev are easily one of my favorite parts of getting new sets in standard, they always get me fired up to start brewing and testing lists. top tier magic content. Ive been hearing and seeing people trash on Moonveil Regent, card looks super strong, not sure what people are missing when they evaluate it, i was glad to hear you were keen to its potential to be super strong even in a mono red deck where i think it will have a home in almost immediately.....another super strong red dragon..... they draw you cards, make you treasure, have haste, one has a fire-breathing ability that can win you the game, and they are very good at smashing OPs life to zero. shheeesh

Please never stop the puns. Been watching you for years and they're probably half the reason I love your content so much. I mean, even as an adult, Cloud with a Chance of Meatballs is my favorite movie and it is nothing but gut wrenching puns. Also I just generally enjoy your voice and opinions on mtg cards and insane amount of content and work you put in ESPECIALLY around new releases!

I have a question about adversaries. I almost always hold out to play them for at least one proc of their kickers. is playing them turn 2 or turn 3 without kickers a waste would you say?

That casting restriction is nice for playing my buddy who runs mind flayed and similar creature stealing cards

I'm pumped for this set for a lot of reasons but your videos make my hype meter overflow like I'm about to Buster Wolf

You're right on with Sigarda and Katilda. I've already worked both of them into a sweet Selesnya League of Legends deck. Drop a comment if you're interested, I'm happy to share. 😉

The focus in this set seems to be on value generating creatures in the CMC 3-5 range. All of them can be removed pretty easily if you don't pay attention, but, well, otherwise they would just be to good. I think Slogurk, the Overslime is very strong. In a deck based on sacrificing lands, it quickly becomes a 6/6 trample for 3 and when it dies brings you back 3 utility lands for free. I think Florian, Voldaren Scion, is extremely good as well. It's perfect for aggro decks, where you are supposed to attack each turn. Works even better with menace decks, which are good at pushing damage through. The stats alone are quite good, but what really makes this card superb is, it basically gives you a free draw each turn. There are not many cards giving aggro decks card advantage without slowing them down. This is one of them. I'm surprised you didn't mention Augur of Autumn, which can give a creature-based deck insane amounts of card advantage. When combine with a card that let's you play extra lands, you can effectively draw as many cards you can play per turn.

Set feels like it has way better build around cards than the last two. Looking forward to trying it out.

Oh my God I've watched like dozens of your videos and I just noticed that we have the same Mona plush from p5 collectors. Still use the awesome Shujin academy bag that came with it. Anyway always appreciate your opinions and have a good one.

The puns were just as delightful as I knew they would be. I also think Burn Down the House is the truth. Great list Dev!

So I play an abzan cleric deck and it’s taken off like a rocket with some cards from innistrad. Both 1 drop white human clerics with disturbed, the 1 drop green treefolk, and the 4 drop sigarda enchantment. This deck is built around teleportation circle. The lifegain is bonkers. Nearly all my cards have ETB triggers. Have innkeeper and merchant treasure, have loads of dungeon venturing, 2 kayas, and 2 westgate regents. Regent has won me games against other lifegain Easy - swings for 50. My mana is consistent, rarely mulligan, and the cards all play nice. Plat 3 right now, but I’m waiting on about 4 more rare wilds to get my card counts right. It’s so much fun

Huntmaster in my opinion is better than a lot of the things you had 20 to 10. He barely missed my top 10 list. He is probably the best ramp payoff now due to him not requiring a second color.

Hey, you, from the place... I love you my dude

Ooh, Dennick. I have nicknamed him Douglas, and put him in my Ghost Bear Monks deck.

Love the initial D reference.

Poppet factory is one I'm excited for since it takes away decayed from zombie tokens :D

I think with intrepid adversay is that if you put +1/1 counters on it by any means it boosts up your entire board as someone who played Jorega warcaller and imperius perfect a huge 1/1 bump on hi can win games

"Mommy it's that man again" you fucking savage lmao

Dev: mommy it's that man again Me: *spits orange juice all over my steering wheel* 🤣🤣🤣

For a second I thought I saw this video already, then I realized You already covered every single card 💪😅

Biggest sleeper BY FAR is Jack-O'-Lantern. Literally perfect sideboard card for any 3c/4c control or combo deck. (Might even be mainboard if post-rotation meta turns out heavily focused on graveyard)

Nice list. Really enjoying Arlinn atm. Green mythic wolf looks better than I thought! I may have to craft two.

I'm really looking forward to the angel deck

I am so ready for Throne of Eldraine to rotate out!

Good list! I think it could have been a top 10 though, because some of those cards just look bad to me. Anyway it's your list, and I respect you. Love your content!

Love the Content man

Thanks for the awesome video! I opened a box of this last night and immediately fell in love with the set. Set was so sick that my girlfriend ended up getting interested enough to learn how to play Magic😳🔥

Memory Deluge may be modern playable running pact to negation to guarantee a counter at a key moment

Awesome dude!

Sweet initial d t shirt, for a sec i was like wtf is that from.

If your artifact is a sol ring, that’s Freeferi.

Awesome shirt Dev!

If I had the wildcards I would love to play a Bant humans deck in this standard format using Pyre of Heroes, Teferi and Katilda. Teferi can untap a land, a dork from Katilda and Pyre to give perfect mana to activate it twice a turn, and you can do gross things with the white adversary. Only real problem is a lack of one drop humans, but maybe Star Pupil and Codespell Cleric could be good enough? Regardless, this set is the sweetest thing that’s come out of Magic in a while in terms of hype, so many new decks! EDIT: just realised suspicious stowaway is a human on the front side, this might be pretty legit

I hit the like button when Dev blind sided us with "yes, the card is fire"

the cap is high...kudos, sir. Kudos.

"Portabell-ver of secrets" gives me life

I haven't played or bought any magic since dominaria and I am getting some of this!! And trying again

I came for the ranking, stayed for the puns.

Dev has by far the best intro lines ;)

Good one!

Dev I'm sorry to say but I think you might have forgotten why memory deluge is so good. Remember a little card called drawn from dreams

dennicks wording makes it so it should never touch the yard. i might be wrong

I think people are really underestimating Teferi. T3 Teferi>+1>untap a land and a mana dork>gain 2 life>hold up 2 mana sounds strong. And the ultimate is game over; draw 2 cards/cycle and hold up all your stuff...?

"Mommy it's that man again" 🤣🤣🤣 dying

I put liesa,the angel in my killian histroic Com deck ..love her already

Yoo deathsprout cap might be kinda spicy. I'm into simic stompy with this and Slogurk

You guys are forgetting the best card in the set! Old Stickfingers. Amaziballs dark art, CEDH viable, will work with the shroom guy in T2, modern dredge will play him as an enabler. Card is just insane and I've bought 316 showcase copies so far.

Thank you!

Thanks D!

Dev talkin bout shroom caps. I'm feelin that

Haha dropping more puns than the Crypt Keeper over here

Dev, I am strictly a commander player. You howlever are my favorite mtg content creator! I efing hate puns though 😉

I think you might be underrating Augur of Autumn. I think it probably should have been at least in your honorable mentions, and I think it is above Deathbonnet Sprout. It makes it just insanely easy to go wide with green, leading to situations where you are both going wide and going tall at the same time. It also allows you to hold back two creatures as insurance against sweepers, and then just restock incredibly fast, putting the opponent into a situation where they really need to either have two sweepers back to back or spot removal for the Augur, or to just die horribly. "Can't Stay Away" is really annoying to play against, but I don't think it is as good as the Augur of Autumn. Likewise, I think Augur of Autumn is better than Dennick. I just can't find a deck to put Dennick in. Teferi is not as good as Wrenn and Seven. Maybe switch those two. Meathook Massacre might be the most underrated card in the set.

I always forget to like; thanks for the reminders

26:22 the worst one black ? Its the best one 💯 because it puts out 8 instead of 1 for all the other color adversary. "Twice as much" zombie tokens and u can have +1+1 counters on it for how many times u cast the spell.

Love the initial d shirt

That shirt is freakin'awesome!

Thanks mate

I kind of love Slogurk. Hope that my ooze buddy works out

you missed out on faithful mending, gain life and control lands from flooding or not, also shock scry, surveil draw, bounce scry for 1 and surveil 3 for 1 are all solid cards

Mama, there goes that man.

Can you do an abzan aristocrats deck tech before standard rotates with cards like Nethroi bastion of remembrance agadeems awakening ect.

Do you guys think there could be a mono blue control deck this season? My favourite deck archetype (flavour wise too)

The more I read Wrenn and Seven, the more I feel like it's home is in a Golgari Reanimator deck. Current Standard doesn't have a TON of good reanimator cards, but Innistrad is giving us some. We have 2 self mill cards now for 1 mana. Deathbonnet for Green, and Egon's artifact side. Both of which feed Ghoulcaller's Harvest and Old Stickfingers. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the +1 and the +8 SCREAM Reanimator. Also, this same build would be a good home for Consuming Blob... Thoughts?

Dev got bars too

Quote : It doesn't do much the turn it comes into play except for an anthem effect. Stated 4/4 flying and trample for 4 mana, that may draw a card, with an anthem effect? Dev, remember when anthem costed 3, for just an anthem? Let s be real, the power is delivering on sigarda, and it blocks dragons.

How good will delver be without snapcaster mage is the question. Probably still pretty good.

Am I wrong of thinking of Meathook Massacre as a 2 mana bastion of remembrance?

May be a dumb question but, is that you rapping in the intro? And if so, is there a full version to listen to?

Ormendahl I think flipping to get this guy is very hard and not worth but I believe this is the first time in magic history where its straight: sac and draw a card?.

Never stop punning Dev You beautiful pun man you.

Got lucky and pulled meathook at the prerelease!

god damn no one can agree on adversaries my own playgroup thinks the white is the worst one because of how it's effect is immediately gone to removal, compared to the rest which have some kind of effect even if they themselves get removed, and my online buds are saying green is worst insanity

been enjoying the new standard, although goldspan and Epiphany stick out like a sore thumb as the 2 cards that also saw play in the previous, broken standard. I'm guessing most people don't want a ban, however i would lean towards it.
