This set feels like they started a fully draftable modern set (like LotR) but stopped nearly halfway. As if management changed their mind and told them they're no longer doing a full set.

@justinanderson2631 5 күн бұрын

Card design is also very tricky with expanded universes. One thing the Fallout, LotR, Doctor who, and Warhammer 40K all have in common is that they don't use Magic cards that are specific to Magic (Kodama's reach, Akroma's will, Simic growth chamber, etc) as these would break those universes immersion. (Ironic) One reason I can see why they didn't make precons for Assassin's Creed is the same reason 50% of the cards from this set are black: the universe is very linear as to which it offers. Final fantasy on the other hand..

@fragtore6457 5 күн бұрын

@@justinanderson2631100%, this is a very forced match. FF will suit the diverse ultra high fantasy of magic very well. I argue 40k also did, and should have had a set beyond the precons (if only I could upgrade the chaos deck within the flavor 😔)

@AlphaetusPrime 5 күн бұрын

According to MaRo, they ended up deciding not to make it draftable because they were having issues with color balance.

@Larry.R 5 күн бұрын

@@justinanderson2631 Yeah, Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY will no doubt be better balanced. One other problem with the Assassin's Creed set is that most of the creatures are Humans. There's not a lot of creature diversity. Besides Humans, the only other creature types that come to mind are Birds and Walls. Where with FINAL FANTASY, there are more creature types to choose from. Humans, moogles (that'll be interesting), viera, bangaa, seeq, etc. Also, I know this seems random, but I'm going to predict that there's a good chance these cards won't be reprinted: White Dragon, Blue Dragon, Black Dragon, Red Dragon, and Green Dragon. While these do appear as enemies/bosses in FINAL FANTASY, they are more connected to Dungeons and Dragons. FINAL FANTASY will probably be more character-connected, although we might get the occasional random monster/boss. Something like Omega being a "Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct" or Demon Wall, "Artifact Creature - Wall Demon".

As an AC fan I am excited to make Commander decks for Ezio and Edward Kenway. As a Magic fan I agree that it’s way too soon after MH3 and doesn’t really fit for Modern. I’m still excited for it though, and I particularly love how the Jackdaw’s flavor text includes a sea shanty your crew would sing out on the ocean. I think the set was made by AC fans for AC fans, and like with Doctor Who I greatly appreciate that.

One fringe case I could see for brotherhood regalia in commander is for outlaws focused decks - you may have a creature in the 99 that isn't an outlaw but offers a ton of value in your deck (I have a jasper list with Jaxis so I can copy cards with desirable triggers like generous plunderer artifact burn or big game hunter ETB removal for example) and by turning it into an assassin it becomes an outlaw with the benefits this might give to the deck's goal.

When covering the Reconnaissance trick, you can also do shenanigans like that with Ninjutsu. After a ninja or any creature with Ninjutsu can swoop in and swap with an unblocked attacking creature after they have dealt combat damage. It's a handy trick if you have any ETB triggers out like on Kindred Discovery and you chose ninja for your type.

In testing I do think Kassandra and her spear have some potential modern utility. Calling a legendary equip you can potentially equip for free and gain a lot of advantage of is very strong. On turn three she can come down, call the spear, it can be equipped off of Sigarda's aid and you can swing in and draw twice or of Kassandra's ability and the double strike from Bull Rush. I think she's also the best potential assassin for Free Running cards thanks to haste and the value she puts on board.

I still try to prevent myself from saying “more on that one” when replying to other people’s comments during meetings due to the audible connotation it solicits. English is just a hopscotch game in a minefield sometimes. The last thing Syr Gwen decks needed was redundancy on Colossal Hammer. Speaking of equipment, I had just started using Psychic Paper in my Hope of Ghirapur voltron deck. Sad to see it didn’t even last a year without being power crept out by another Universe’s Beyond card.

Originally I think they wanted to do the normal 4 commander decks plus collector boosters but at some point realised they didn’t have enough content or deck diversity for 4 maybe 3 but 2 strong ones. So then they decided to reinvent aftermaft boosters to see if they work for a UB set and decided for some reason to make it modern legal like LOTR.

I suspect the reasoning for modern legal is that MH3 is the most recent release, so the 2 types of magic that are most likely being played at any given LGS when a new player goes in to pick up these ACR cards are Modern and Commander. It's probably also why this set got a 1v1 Starter Kit as the "precon" product. Now, whether any of the AC cards are actually going to be competitive in the Modern meta is a completely different story. But ultimately if the new player does want to keep playing a 60 card format then they'll need some better Modern legal cards and MH3 boosters are going to be right there waiting for them. For me, there are some nice-to-have reprints and a bunch of creatures that are going to go into commander decks. It's the sort of thing where I might grab one booster as a treat after a draft, but I'm just going to grab the singles that I actually want.

I've never played any of the Assassin's Creed games, but I do like the look of the set. There are a good number of cards that look like they'd be right at home in my Cube or Commander deck of choice. Too bad that Assassinate didn't make it into the main set, but it might be available as a List card. If not, Royal Assassin still makes up for it. I just wish we had both. This set looks like it will have lots of fun interactions built in. A member of my play group at my LGS joked about giving Dogmeat The Spear of Leonidas. That's how you know he's a good boy. Similarly, I think it would be hilarious (not to mention ironic) to use Haystack to phase out a Needlebug, but I don't know if it would work. Needlebug has protection from artifacts... Anyways, I'm kinda excited for this set as I already have some Assassin's Creed cards on my Card Kingdom wishlist.

I haven’t played any of the games and none of the cards so far have interested me. But I’ll be happy if we bring new players into the game or reinvigorate some existing players.

So I’ve been a huge Assassin’s Creed fan ever since Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood. I absolutely LOVE that they are getting a Collab. However I’m also VERY disappointed with how they’re treating the cards and how we’re doing the 7 pack and 10 pack boosters at premium pricing. I was ready to go all out with this set and drop so much money, but after seeing it revealed slowly day by day I’ve come to be super cautious and uneasy on what I preorder. I ended up ordering 1 collector’s booster box just to celebrate the launch, and plan to buy singles afterwards to build an Ezio deck. I wish this set was way more hype but I had a strong feeling early on it would turn out this way.

You should do a separate video for just Pauper cards from Assassin's Creed. I miss Pauper content. Everyone does Commander and I do like Commander, but I like Pauper too. They are the only true non rotating eternal formats.

@@leress yeah, I know, that's why I assumed that there were commons in the main set. I don't really have much interest in Universes Beyond, Assassin's Creed. I was really just hyped about the DND, and LOTR Sets. So I honestly don't follow Universes Beyond too closely unless it's a set that particularly interests me.

You keep mentioning, "watch another video immediately".... I think you gave everyone a great idea for a solution to gaining more youtube revenue: Release two videos back to back, snd don't beg to have loyal fans to watch something they have already seen. It's a bogo for channel promoting and it makes sense. Say a new player gets introduced to commander: the commandzone having two new videos will double the engagement from both new and old fans of the content. But maybe you care about accessories for your decks too and you watch TCC to get both product reviews and card assessments. Release two new videos, maybe one of each, and you'll get the kind of engagement youtube is requiring. 😊 Ty prof!

Bruh, I gotta say you missed how potentially busted that God triad whatever is for affinity commanders (praying it doesn't accidentally be good in modern). You play normally then all of a sudden, there's a close to if not 0 mana 7/7 hitting the table that turns everything you have into 9/9s.
