Hey guys love the channel! Wondering why Survival of the Fittest didn't make the list. Before the reserve list buyouts it was already approaching $100 and for good reason. That card doesn't just end games it destroys games.

You're wrong, top enchantment is clearly grave titan.

Land Tax lets you shuffle, which means you get to see 3 new cards every turn if you also have Sylvan Library :D

Fun interaction with Song of the Dryads: you can use Vesuva to copy the Song'd permanent, and it comes in as the original permanent, so it's effectively a Clone effect that can't be countered.

Will you guys do a tour of your own decks/collection?

Since it wasn't even in your honorable mentions, I can now officially say that evolutionary leap is the most underrated enchantment in all of commander

Beast whisperer, lets you draw the card even if the spell gets countered. Also, song of the dryads has an awesome interaction with vesuva and thespian stage.

Landtax is kinda always good since there will be at least one green deck ramping across the table, even if you got first. It's kinda a soft ancestral recall.

I think some that could have made the list in no order: 1. Moat- in right shell 2. Earthcraft 3. Survival of the Fittest 4. Burgeoning 5. Defense of the Heart (if 2 piece combo) 6. Stasis- Can be CEDH.... HM- I quite like Wild Growth. 0 cost dork if 2 lands in play

Going through my random commons and Uncommons the other day and I found a mystic remora!

Don't forget the powerful Land Tax + Zuran Orb interaction. These two also make Armageddon ten times more effective, and one good land sweep is enough to flip a game in your favor.

Had a random thought for a potentially fun topic: good decks that play bad cards. Like, good commanders that have synergy with otherwise unplayable cards. Also, glad to finally see people putting Smothering Tithe above Rhystic Study. I’ve been saying it.

Yo how r my favorite nerds doing today?

Nice list. Next to the before mentioned Survival of the Fittest I was probably missing Sneak Attack. Cheating creatures on the board with haste for one Mana is increadibly strong - keeping these creatures with a commander like Obeka, Brute Chronologist or cards like Sundial of the Infinite for super value. It's usually kill on sight and probably at the power level of Pattern of Rebirth.

One thing you can do with sylvan library is play it while you have abundance down and it basically turns into draw three cards during your draw phase. Since if you trigger abundance's ability it bypasses the pay life cause on sylvan library.

I'm a little surprised that Concordant Crossroads wasn't on the list. That card is a banger in my play group, but it is no where near the power level of cards like Rhystic Study and the like.

So many of these are EXACTLY why I run Krosan Grip as often as possible.

Glad to hear you guys are safe and healthy!

So suprised you didn't add doubling season, cathar's crusade, moat, phyrexian Reclamation, or grave pact.

Kinda suprised breach isnt here, red yawgmoths will is fun

Coolest thing about Sylvan Library - you don’t have to put cards back if you had draw-replacement effects for all cards you drew that turn (maybe you had an upkeep step draw), such as dredge or Underrealm Lich.

LOVE the "Glitch" on 4:11 LOL awesome!

I love how excited they are in every video

Good to see you guys safe and sound. Great video as always. I was really hoping there would be Phyrexian Reclamation, atleast as a honorable mention. I find that card is super good, regardless how innocuous it might seem. Totally agree with the rest of you guys' list. Looking forward to more of these kinds of videos. Keep up the good work!!

No demonitized yet, I got not one, but two ads before it :P

...And that, guys, is why Feed the Swarm is the best card ever printed for grixis lol Anyways, I haven't seen the video yet, that's my top15, let's se how much it differs from yours :) (Also i'm only including enchantments, not auras or creature enchantments and things like that, i dunno if you included those in the video) 1) Rhystic Study 2) Smothering Tithe 3) Zendikar Resurgent 4) Land Tax 5) Search for Azcanta 6) Leyline of the Void 7) Sylvan Library 8) Doubling Season 9) Exploration 10) Rhytm of the Wild 11) Blood Moon 12) Sanguine bond 13) Dictate of Erebos 14) Felidar Retreat 15) Pernicious Deed (My list is based only on my personal experience -mostly AGAINST those enchantments- and preferences)

The Abyss, Parallax Wave, Parallax Tide, Survival of the Fittest, Humility, Stasis, Frozen Aether/Kismet, Moat and his younger brother Teferi's Moat, Mirari's Wake, Detention Sphere/Oblivion Ring, Island Sanctuary, Defense of the Heart, Sterling Grove, Opalescence, Leylines (pick one really, I prefer black and white ones), Trade Routes, Dream Halls, Solitary Confinement and Mind over Matter are some quick ones that poped up in my head that would trump most stuff in this list, but... you might also want to include all of the color shut down ones, Back to Basics, Blood Moon, Choke, Chill, Karma, and such.

Joe: "Necropotence is Bonkers", soooo... Insane Totally insane Bonkers.... we need a Joe Cherries 1-10 power scale rating system for cards. Bonkers is 10 :)

Sylvan Library + Underrealm Lich = Good Times

On of my all time favorite enchantments is Rite of the Raging Storm, love making interactions between players, i feel the card is just missing a "the lighting rager must attack each combat" function tho

stasis, energy flux, moat, land equilibrium, concordant crossroads, blood moon, back to basics, humility, overwhelming splendor. just to name a few

One of my favorite enchantments as a creature based player is Asceticism. The first time I saw that card it was everything I wanted on an enchantment. I used to think Land Tax wasn’t a good card. Put it in my Dragonlord Ojutai Voltron/Control edh deck. The last 3 times I played Land Tax it cleared out all my basics so I was only drawing/anticipating gas.

"I think the rhystic part is the Blue" there was a rhystic cycle for each color, it's the Study that's blue haha. Love the video guys. Get it, study? Blue? Oh nvm lol

That number 3 fake out got me 😂

Imagine if you had Gaea's Cradle, Itlimach, AND Circle of Dreams Druid^^ AKA Gaea's Cradle, Budget Gaea's Cradle, and Gaea's Cradle on an Elf.

Confounding Conundrum is my pick for one of best enchantments in edh

burgeoning and underworld breach are two I would consider putting somewhere in this list

You know whats pretty great with aura shards? Grave Titan!

LOL In my CEDH group Sylvan Library was great till they realized that my Xenagos deck deals an average 30+ damage, yes I got countered but when I finally hit someone on the 95% blue board...Fatality. Greater Good brings back memories of younger me making my mono green Urza Saga block deck with Weatherseed Treefolk, sacrificing to draw 5, keep 2, Weatherseed returns to hand rarely did my opponent permanently remove a Weatherseed Treefolk. I was buying Itlimoc's at 5-7$ now its 20$+, I mean it is just a fixed Gaea cradle... Aura Shards is a must in Ghave, the abuse oh the abuse... BTW did you see that Grave Titan is being printed in a Secret lair?

U could use raze or cleansing wildfire to destroy your creature with song of the dryad on it. These cards are essential if your opponant uses maze of ith and similar lands anyway

Sylvan library + a deck that can consistently shuffle every turn, all for 1G, is pretty phenomenal. If it’s a cascade deck or miracles or has a lot of life gain etc, this is one the best value cards in the format. I play a lot of maelstrom wanderer and Omnath, LoC so maybe I’m just bias having experienced the ceiling of sylvan library so often.

Besides the Survival snub this is a pretty good list - albeit it focuses more on solid staples than maybe just really powerful enchantments? Maybe there's a case for cards like Intruder Alarm, Mind Over Matter, Stasis etc. for sheer game-warping, winning you the game as quickly as possible from the moment you play them-power (well, except Stasis for that - but it's obviously incredibly powerful).

I love Song of the Dryads. If all your creatures have forest walk, not only does this card serve as a Trojan horse, you can also remove the greatest threat on the table. Kill two birds with one stone.

No love for green huh? Survival of the fittest, birthing pod, defense of the heart, etc...... Oh well, at least you chose pattern of rebirth. Great list guys!!

Was kind of expecting Survival of the Fittest to be among these cards. Any reason it was left out? I feel it is much better than a guardian project or sylvan library, but that could just be me?

It's not top 15 but Kaya's ghostform is really good to. Prob top 45? Idk for sure. It's an amazing protection piece and can sometimes let you take control of enemy creatures DEFENSE OF THE HEART?!?!?

Kismet and Frozen Aether are strong contenders against the taxing effect of Blind Obedience. 1 additional mana to hit lands, but you lose the Extort ability is worth it. Personally, I love seeing my opponents fetches come in tapped, and turning dual lands into slow lands.

great video! only thing - cyclonic rift can't even deal with song of the dryads if its attached to your permanent xD. my favorite enchantment for sure

Welcome back papa Joe!

Aren't you actually supposed to decide who goes first before opening hands? Unless multiplayer is different than standard one on one

Kismet > blind obedience. Hitting lands in addition is strong, doesn't gain aggro early from the life stealing. Looks amazing.

Land tax in orzhov reanimator is also great. Discard engine without discard effect.

Grave Pact, Goblin Bombardment, Impact Tremors, Exquisite Blood, Earthcraft, Prosh as Commander and lose all your friends:)

You don't know how Smothering that Tithe is until you risk your ship and crew to go Treasure Cruise and HE creates 3 treasure tokens

That was hilarious, you two must be so much fun to play in a real game. Well, except for the glaringly obv fact that you would kill all my decks

What about: Minds dilation Lurking predators Sunbirds invocation Omniscience Wild pair Maelstrom nexus As foretold Precognition field Vampiric rites Grave pact Dictate of erebos Martyrs bond

"rhystic study isn't a fun card." To me, it's fun when I'm the one playing it! Mwahahaha! Great vid, friends!

Land Tax & Sylvan Library should be higher on this list. While they don’t have the raw power that Necropotence has, they’re effects add up really fast. Sylvan Library is especially good since green probably has more incidental shuffle effects than any other color, so you continually reset your library. An early and unanswered Library often runs away with games.

The thing with mystic remora is that drawing a card is good but not pay 4 mana to prevent it good

Growing Rites doesn't actually flip. It transforms. Flip cards were printed in Kamigawa block, and won't ever be used as a returning mechanic.

I use Sylvan Library for the payoff of drawing 3 cards for things that trigger on draws (Ominous Seas for example) but it requires work

Missing the card draw engine that Land Tax enables. I'm playing Land Tax plus Scroll Rack in Daxos the Returned to turn my basics into other cards.

I've played both in my Muldrotha deck, but i think I prefer Defense of the Heart over Pattern of Rebirth. There's just that feel bad that your opponents have when they realize they just gave you the game by playing creatures. Definitely not "better" due to the drawbacks and conditions, but still so much fun

Very surprise to not see Sunbird's Invocation in your list guys. That card get so much value...

I like using Greater good in my hydra deck with the Ozlith. To keep passing counters to draw more.

The number 1 enchantment is grave titan clearly.

I think they kept necropotence unbanned because they banned Yawgmoth’s Bargain. My favorite enchantment is Burgeoning. I play it over exploration.

Aura shards is in token generation colors... it is perfect for removal with token generation. It shuts down enchantment heavy decks. Especially when paired with your cathars crusade to make the beefy tokens, and wipe out all your opponents enchantments and artifacts.

I thought Burgeoning would be in for sure. 1 drop whenever an opponent plays a land you play a land from your hand, is so much ramp for so little cost. If you drop it turn 1 and you started the game if you had 3 lands in hand it would be you are on turn 5 while everyone else is in turn 2.

Ominous Seas and Greater Good combo is nasty

You can choose to not play land for turn when you have land tax. This means the next person goes first.

I would love there would be a white Narset/hullbreacher type enchantment. Or something close to opposition agent. It is crazy that white is supposed to be the enchantment color and the stax color and it doesnt have the bests enchantments or stax cards.

itlamoc is actually better than cradle. it taps for 1 mana. so when someone immediately board wipes it isn't a dead land.

My favorite combo is, dump kozilek great distortion turn 1 to grave, animate dead turn 2, necropotence turn 3, infinite counters turn 3

"I play Covid-19" "Okay in response I play mana drain" = extra saucy

One of my favorite memories of EDH is my Orzhov Aristocrats deck not having a good day at all and falling asleep through everyone's turns while I was stacking 2, 3... then 9 treasure with Smothering Tithe, nobody had enchantment removals, nobody bothered. Then at 9 I threw down Revel in Riches and suddenly everyone was struggling to pay the extra mana Do you... pay 2?

Best EDH enchantents: green, maybe white. Plus rhystic study and necropotence.

I run Mystic Remora entirely in the hopes that someone, somewhere will worry about giving me cards and just not pay. The deck that uses it has essentially nothing to do turn 1 normally, but turn 2 or 3 it normally ramps, so sometimes I just hope to delay people's ramp for a turn and move on. Edit: That same deck uses Necropotence to find combos, but it's Zur, so he uses it the worst way (doesn't pay for it, and then abuses it). Then Zur fetches the other half of the combo.

I feel like sylvan library is infinitely better with fetches, after every fetch you get to see the top 3 again, benefits more from multicoloured decks I suppose, running more shuffles seems to benefit it way more.

Nobody else in my meta plays Rhystic Study and none of them have quite caught on to it yet. Very often I have 10+ cards in hand.

I strongly prefer “paperweight” effects, like Song of the Dryads or Reprobation over Oblivion Ring or detainment cards like Arrest.

Survival of the fittest is one I’m surprised to not see in this list. I feel like it wins most games is higher power level metas

Aura Shards + Enchanted Evening..... add in Archon of Sun's Grace for the most ridiculous one sided board wipe you'll find in an enchantress deck.

Sometime I prefer growing rites of ithama over gaeas cradle. Mainly early game. When you have no creatures. Most folks hate burning enchantment hate on it. Where everyone loves to take 35 cent card to blow up 1200$ land. So many times I play gaeas cradle and it been tec edge, strip mines stone rain I play glowing and they like I am saving my land destruction for the expensive card.

Very good Entchantments, but im still suprised Survival of the fittest didnt even reach the Top 15.

Necropotence number 1? I would have never guessed. The only hint was in every time they've mentioned draw in black.

I like how you guys can disagree about something like aura shards and then the topic gets sussed out even more. I feel like most other content creators shy away from discussions like that, at least on camera. You guys have a knack for contradicting each other without making it awkward. My wife and I could take a lesson from you 😂

I'm a simple man. I see a nitpicking nerds video, I watch.

When playing aura shards, get ready to be called the fun police.

18:26 the answer to that question is not Gaea's Cradle, correct answer is "Island"

You should do the Top 15 cards in the Meta

I play Aura Shards in my Big Cat's Tribal deck and my favorite card to run with it is Nacatl Warpride. Every time you attack you basically just blow up all the artifacts on the board that aren't yours and everyone just gets pissed lol

You can do a little lifehack when Land Tax is in your opening hand and you go 1st: start your turn, draw the card in your drawstep, hold priority and immidiately pass the turn! For more MTG hacks follow me on instagram 👌🏻.

An enchantment I love to use is Tranquil Grove. It answers other enchantments and stays on the table.

Thank you for the loud noise warning. I have earbuds in.

May I ask what do you guys think of doubling season ? Loved the video honestly just was thinking for commander that would bd in top 10 lol.

I find the lack of Shared Fate... disturbing. Haha great list knew for sure Necropotence was gonna be number 1

I like stasis Contamination Lethal vapors And humility

I think you are missing some of the old but really strong enchantments like Moat, Nether Void, The Abyss and drop of honey.

-3 CMC -Mono black -Makes you pay life and you draw that many cards -Only triggers once in your turn Confirmed?!? phyrexyan arena must also be banned
