I do love how the static abilities of Ashiok, Tamiyo and Narset are all primary white abilities that none of those colors really had before. Maybe if they gave a Gideon or Elspeth one of those abilities, it would have made more sense. Especially when you consider that their abilities only effect the opponents, it makes them significantly better then blanket abilities on mostly 1-3 toughness creatures.

I've been running Nissa of Shadowed Boughs [ZNR] in my Gitrog deck and it can be pretty formidable. Can get absurdly high loyalty and both helps ramp you (especially with lands like lotus field / lotus vale / scorched ruins) or reanimate basically anything in your graveyard. Probably not a 9-10 power level card but still very solid.

32:34 I actually disagree with this opinion. Especially when he is used in a singleton format, Jace the Mind Sculptor's zero ability is really good. It's a reusable Brainstorm/Divining Top on a planeswalker. And while top is probably better because it can't be attacked, Jace also has his plus one which can help you deal with deal with your opponents. You will probably never ult with him so don't build your deck around it, but otherwise, it's a great card that is super useful in certain decks.

Teferi, Master of Time is a HOUSE in my Gavi deck. Gavi generates blockers and profits off the extra draw, while Teferi builds up to an ultimate to give me more time to search for a combo or beat down with tokens. The card really should be a staple, and I predict it's gonna shoot up in price once it gets featured on a big show like Game Knights or something, but any extra synergies are just icing on the cake.

I think Tezzeret the Schemer is an underrated Planeswalker. You can +1 to get what is essentially treasure tokens and his -2 is spot removal that can kill indestructible creatures. I have even used his ulti, as bad as it is, to increase my creature count and use it to finish my opponents quiker. The best is when I played this Turn 2 off a turn 1 Sol Ring and proceeded to ramp up mana for the rest of the game only using the spot removal when needed.

@@NitpickingNerds I run JTMS in my Kydele/Tvesh Szatt Superfriends deck. His 0 makes my commander tap for minimum of 4, which enables me to go infinite with Umbral Mantle. I've also managed to get his ult off twice, one of those times I copied it to hit 2 players. Otherwise agreed, he's way too overrated

Does the rule against Vraska also apply to Vraska, Swarms Eminence? It seems to be good in a Deathtouch matters deck. Or did it not make the list since you are looking at rare and mythics only?

You guys are talking about just about the power level i want my decks to be, plus i was also thinking the same thing about Tamiyo, Field Researcher in my Arcades deck, she's cool and pretty good but if you're trying to improve your deck she surely is on the chopping block.

In a tokens deck just replace Elspeth, Sun's Champion for Elesh Norn and I promise you'll be happier. It's essentially her last 2 abilities combined.

No love for Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner? The -1 is super useful for the same reasons the Garruk +1 is (plus it works with dorks and creatures with tap abilities) and it also has a very decent passive. Ánd it has a ton of loyalty so it will probably live through the first rotation. It works wonders in my Roon list; ramp into Roon, draw a card for playing Roon, and potential to ramp/draw even more

I had to remove sorin and the sphynx that brings opponents to 10 hp from my decks cause people kept saying that's unfair magic... cause well, we often play 2hg commander and I actually won many games that way.. nowdays we play 2v2 with mixed turns and 40hp each.. anyway, bit unfair but not as unfair as infinite combos or 21 commander damage in 1 turn.

I think Kaya, Ghost Assassin is one of the most underrated walkers out there. It consistently generates huge advantage for me. I also think the 3 mana Kaya is a trap that I've seen a few people play but it's pretty awful

I was expecting you to roast Elspeth like you roast Grave Titan but I think you're treatment of her was fair and spot-on. Joe, would you please dress up as Dack Fayden for Halloween? I've seen Nissa ultimate more than any other walker, not close and she is still dece even as a bad Regrowth. Great work as always, gents!

Lol, ugin the virgin. That took a second to settle in why Beezy said it at first. I thought I must have misheard him and rewound the video twice before I realized it was intentional lol. The cliffhanger ending was great! (Although I am a little sad that I will never know the other two trap planeswalkers!)
