Wilds of Eldraine is about to release. Tomorrow is early access day on Twitch and then the set drops in full on Tuesday on Magic Arena and Magic Online. One of the weird quirks of this release is that there's no Standard rotation. What cards from Eldraine have what it takes to compete with the best of the best in our newly massive Standard format? Seth and Crim count down their top 10! After the video make sure to let us know what Wilds of Eldraine cards you think can make an impact on Standard in the comments!
Today's video is brought to you by Card Kingdom. You can pick up some MTG cards (and help support the show0 at www.cardkingdom.com/mtggoldfish

I think the reason why the whale enters tapped is because it’s already a removal spell and if it’s two removal spells and a finisher that would be far too strong

@Trip_Fontaine 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, plus the threat of being able to use it would be huge. As soon as you got to enough mana, you would be threatening to cast it every turn. It's like getting a benefit every turn even if you don't cast it.

The fact that it has flash at all makes it allready so much better. You can keep your mana open for counters, and if youre opponent has a bad turn, you can flash it in. I am very sure it will see some play in control decks

1) Boros control is going to be a thing with Heartflame Duelist. It could gain you a TON of life with Brotherhood's End, and you can splash black for Archangel of Wrath. The Boros manland is also great, and could easily close out a game. 2) There is a very strong core for Jund with Mosswood Dreadknight, Questing Druid, and Bloodtithe Harvester on 2, with Gix + Glissa on 3, and Sheoldred + Decadent Dragon on 4. Add in GFTT + Edict + Virtue of Persistence for removal.

Honestly between Charming Rogue and Goddric, I think mono red aggro is getting a pretty substantial buff with WoE. We'll see if that's enough, but those are auto includes in the deck I think.

@jasonkorf7700 11 ай бұрын

I disagree, while they are good cards they do have to compete with Bloodthirsty Adversary, Lightning Strike, Invasion of Tarkir, and Feldon in the two drop slot. While Charming Scoundrel offers flexibility. It is also a great way to being blown out by Cut Down on a chapter 2 of Kumano faces Kakkazan. Meanwhile. Mono red plays either Furnace Punisher to punish multicolored decks and their manabases or Squee because Squee is recurrable. Overall, I think they are solid cards, and may end up in Mono Red builds depending on the meta, but I don't think they move the needle for Mono Red in Best of three Standard.

I am pretty high on Decadent Dragon (and not just because it's got art from one of my favorite recent magic artists), but it's card advantage, a well-costed, evasive on-curve threat that can ramp & mana fix for the spell half. I mean it's no goldspan dragon (thank god), but I think it's very solid. Also the possibility that it makes jund playable in standard is exciting.

One thing I like about The End is it hits *any* creature or planeswalker. We'll be in a format where there are a few ways to turn lands into creatures. The End exiles "any number of cards with the same name as that permanent". You can even exile your own creature land with it.

One thing I'd say in virtue of loyalty's favour - it is more fizzle proof than other virtues. If you are running the virtues as your wincon, then getting fizzled is a problem. Plus you are on a clock to get them into exile to protect from hand disruption, so waiting for a safe casting window for the adventure is tricky.

Seth - Here is a line with the Fox - Flash hitting your own Thalia from a kill - cast a spell that was being taxed on your side or hold mana to let's say so brevity sake you are able to later sac the fox and mana tithe your opponent and gain two life in addition - def some tricky things you can do - or your own Loran or Farmhand or Doggo to double up - maybe even play in a double triggers deck (apparently the mana tithe thing doesn’t check out but still some tricky stuff you can do)

The fact werefox bodyguard isn't a soldier IS a big deal, isn't it??? You kind of want as many soldiers as possible, so removing a few from the deck would likely make it worse.

Did anyone else realize that you can actually sacrifice this fox while the trigger is on the stack for the exile and end up permanently removing an opponent's creature from the game as you gain the two life? Could be a good emergency removal spell against graveyard decks.😮

Doesn't work that way

@kats7930 11 ай бұрын

@@dac2007 Actually it sure as heck does! lol. Even if it didn't have flash, it would work because there's no tap. The way it works on the stack is like this. YOU MUST HOLD CONTROL/PRIORITY FOR IT TO WORK. You flash it in. The trigger for exile goes on the stack and you target a creature of your opponents. Then, STILL while holding control, you set the sacrifice trigger and sac the creature. Now you release control. They can save it by bouncing it now since they can interact, but if they don't, what happens is the trigger resolves in reverse order. So the game will see this: release from exile the creature, oh there's no creature to release, then okay, now we need to exile the creature, and it get's exiled, your fox is in your graveyard and the card you targeted is gone forever because you can't ever release it later. It's kind of "stack abuse" but it's very doable. I've done this for ages in pauper with Kor Skyfisher + Ephemerate and Journey to Nowhere. you have a Kor Skyfisher in play already, then you cast a Journey targeting opponents creature, before it resolves, you can ephemerate your kor skyfisher at instant speed, it will then bounce the journey back to hand and try to release the exiled creature before the creature ever gets exiled, then it will end with the exile trigger last and exile their creature but since the journey is back in hand and similarly not on the battlefield anymore, they can never get back their creature. it's an old and dirty trick, but it totally works, I assure you.

@dac2007 11 ай бұрын

@@kats7930 no, you are wrong, there's no trigger to release from exile What happens is if the Fox is not on the battlefield when the trigger resolves, nothing gets exiled Try killing a Leyline Binding before it resolves and see what happens What you have done for years worked differently because of how old cards are worded, now they have fixed it so you can't abuse it. And it's good they've done it.

I guess zoomers don't understand the power of creature lands. But they're always good in standard because they can win games post sweeper or when both players are in top deck mode. I guess they're slightly less good these days because decks rarely run out of gas. If you always have something to do then you just never have time to animate them. So how good they fully depends on how good control is.

The End is the best card ever printed, not in this set, in the entire history of Magic The Gathering. 4 mana to get to point at some overpowered, unfun bullshit card and say "no"? 4 mana to rule zero any creature/planeswalker you don't like back to the shadow realm so you can have some actual fun game of honest magic? The only downside of the card is that you can only have 4 in the deck.
