Professor! Tell WOTC to make that Planeswalker MAN-THING in MArvel universe beyond! this is literally its power : eating fear from people!

[@angelojohnson9441]

This Shuffle Up and Play is one of the best ever, FYI

[@danielprivate8038]

I’ve watched this more than once def cuz I don’t think enough people have. It’s great. You guys out in allot of effort hear.

[@danielprivate8038]

Love to sea another one of these. I’m sure you guys had fun filing it too.

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

Wait, the Professor got a preview card again??? Congrats, man!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Never say never ;)

[@JaySay]

​@@TolarianCommunityCollegeSo happy for you! Brings a tear to my eye!😢

[@heartmonk7737]

Uncommon tho

[@TheForeverRanger]

Of course it is a Merfolk.

[@weezymo4456]

Guess it's been long enough since Go Fetch Yourself™ Never forget, they'd do it if they could

[@jessewinter5826]

"That's where I know you from, my sideboard!" DAMN. Prof went from hanging out to slapping down.

[@lashedsuns4529]

"Trying to haunt my dreams, eh? I'm about to own your life."

[@peeporiot9948]

That ashiok cosplay was unreal

[@Werewolfoverlord12]

I mean I think I recognize Dark Pact Cosplay, so that's not surprising. XD

[@johnpisser1983]

Jace! I mean Ashiok

[@hawkdov]

@@johnpisser1983that one cracked me up

[@XeptionMusic]

which cosplay you mean, this was THE Ashiok

[@Serenica272]

Seeing Dark Pact Cosplay in plain clothes is the actual terrifying part of this video.

[@evanbraun30]

🤣🤣🤣

[@TheForeverRanger]

Yeah I am not used to seeing them in street clothes.

[@Umnoss]

They looks stunning in both styles 😶‍🌫

[@Agaures]

I think for me it was finding out that Prof's last name is Lewis. My immersion!!!!

[@magnus24112]

They were cosplaying a student, of course ;)

[@cosmo_cat64]

Ashiok feels like comment section of the whole web and i am all here for that energy lmao "You are supposed to be angry,stop being happy!" kind of vibe lmao

[@really1337]

"At best you are the Applebees of Magic the Gather." That was just savage.

[@Jm96RoCk]

My wig flew 😂

[@Edricama]

It really is wholesome when your worst nightmare is a reality you already left behind.

[@JKXYGolden]

glad ashiok ultimately got their licks in 🍔 amazing cosplay!!!

[@jedrzejkraszewski816]

"Weren't you an uncommon (...) in my sideboard." XD Great video, sweet there's a new merfolk too, with some removal possibilities. Dark Pact Cosplay shines again, I'm still upset there was no legendary card in Murders at Karlov Manor based on their Golgari detective cosplay!

[@Aldrnari956]

Wait, did WotC finally feel forced to acknowledge that the Prof exists and send him a preview card? Sweet! Usually it’s Gavin working with the Prof in an unofficial capacity.

[@reapersaurus]

Yeah, I guess they finally get off their butt and properly include Prof when he gets near/over a MILLION subs. But hey; it's cool - those YEARS of ignoring him are forgotten now, right?

[@movingcardboard8254]

He got oubliette

[@Aldrnari956]

@@movingcardboard8254 wasn’t that something line 4 years ago, or is my memory just off?

[@movingcardboard8254]

@@Aldrnari956 yes but WOTC has acknowledged

[@Belsthar]

​@movingcardboard8254 more like he got outbliette

[@Hyenadont]

"It's an uncommon!" Ashiok.... the professor got tolarian researcher, a vanilla 2/3 basically making fun of him years ago. This is him going up in the world lol

[@halalevangelion7272]

NEW S- Duskmourn spoiler alert?

[@tappytoeclaws2233]

Dark Pact 's on set terrorizing the Professor? Never had there been a prouder mother 💜 *dabs tears with martini glass*

[@IcYs0ul]

Professor gets it ... there is no worse nightmare than working on a thankless job for a mediocre salary

[@froschkenig]

Not only was the cosplay great, but the acting was awesome as well! Love all of it :-)

[@grimmlygr]

Whoever came up with this plot and the punchlines deserves a raise! Also the cosplay and acting are amazing! Loved every second of this

[@ettasoeur84]

That's some quality card previewing right here, the Professor knows how it's done! And also knows how to work with talented individuals such as Dark Pact Cosplay, loved the Ashiok portrayal!

[@johnlachman5121]

This couldve easily been a 2 minute desk video and most people would've been satisfied, but making this a full skit video was an outstanding choice

[@Gzilla313]

3:20 “subscriber count 313 million” Hey, a Detroit shoutout, sweet!

[@kirkenstiensmonster]

If you're in the market for a cool T-shirt, a De2roit one wouldn't hurt

[@themadstudent]

That ashiok acting was pretty spiffy acting. Enjoyed it more than I expected.

[@jlaw131985]

The Professor is out here getting reverse Christmas Carol'ed

[@amadhatter3280]

Floodpits Drowner looks very strong especially with flash, a 2 mana removal spell to get rid of a big threat is really good in multiple formats and not just in commander (where it'll likely find a home in Hylda decks that benefit from tapping your opponents creatures).

[@green_dragon_knight]

Dark Pact Cosplay is amazing as Ashiok! Also I’m super impressed they could pick Prof’s card up at 4:22 with those nails 😂

[@JohnMeinel]

Both excellent cosplay and a great script. Congrats on a preview card.

[@magic_claw]

Off the charts production value!

[@blaketodd1129]

The "weeee" part had me crying 😂

[@gyromite]

Professor channeling Jasper "You shot who in the what now?" That cosplay is amazing btw.

[@dunsinane88]

That ashiko erasure was stifled.

[@Nokus416]

Congratulations on the preview card, Prof! That's awesome!

[@erfunk]

So! Good! Really glad there was another Dark Pact appearance waiting in the wings, after Shuffle Up and Play!

[@IzzysIssues]

I just took another few months break from MtG and I'm always so happy to return by catching up on your videos and getting some positivity for the hobby 💚

[@AdamNeikirk-bj6ud]

As an adjunct professor teaching English Comp at a state university, the ending is perfect

[@theadjunctgm2498]

Watching this while prepping for my writing class... Which I teach at 8 in the morning lol

[@drongobrat6471]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS the return of preview cards and also of skits with cosplayers, this was a blessed video

[@goddessoflilies]

That Ashiok cosplay is SO GOOD

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

In this video Ashiok keeps gooning while the Prof keeps them from going over the come line... The things I learn from this channel :P

[@evanbraun30]

SCREAMING. lolol

Prof got a merfolk, we won

[@glumdrop4672]

"If you're a Hawkeye!" dude you didn't need to cut em that deep

[@bonekill476]

Masterfully done Dark Pact Cosplay!!! Always happy to see you appear on Prof's channel, whether it be in his "nightmares" or sitting next to him shuffling up some cards! 🤗

[@coreysierchio4650]

My dude can be a slam dunk for a Niko cosplay. *Thanks for the Content!*

As it turns out, the real nightmare were the friends we made along the way

Dark Pact Cosplay is incredible and makes such cool cosplays

[@ivanpalomo1586]

Now I want the shuffle up and play with stickers

[@TT-yl1wp]

I love this ashiok so much! Great video!

[@Frostin_326]

Oh boy, another video, another chance for me to ask about the little yellow note! Also these are just so fun. Love watching them.

[@erikquimby9617]

That merfolk card already is being reserved a place in my merfolk deck. I'm psyched to see a new merfolk with some fun mechanics! 🎄

[@pierrebaillargeon9531]

9 minutes of video for a one preview card and we're not bored a single second. You raised the bar for previews!

[@rathlord]

Hey this is great- I'm so happy they gave you a preview card! And the merfolk is a really cool personal touch. Props to WotC for that, and what a fun way to do a preview card!

[@charmandenator5686]

This was very wholesome. Congrats, Prof! I've missed your previews.

[@notmyhorse1371]

This was incredible, thank you

Great job! Dark Pact Cosplay was on point as usual. This was so funny. I'd love to see more office hours.

[@Myrgard]

This one was amazing, great acting from you both!

[@styfen]

I'm pleased you have a card to reveal, but I wish it was Bloomburrow again.

[@angelojohnson9441]

A preview card is a preview card. Especially with the changes to draft with play boosters, an uncommon is more important now than ever, as there are more uncommons in the sets now. Something often left out of preview season discussion is how great uncommons and commons fuel excitement for prerelease/sealed as it makes people start brewing plausible decks. Sure Chromatic Lantern is my favorite card from Return to Ravnica, but Rogue’s Passage was a real threat for making an unblockable beater finish the job. New Capenna had Witness Protection, an amazing piece of removal that due to citizens mattering in sealed, added an extra layer to the game. Mirrorshell crab was counter or a late beater that really powered up blue in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and it is a common!

[@RetronomiconTCG]

I really do love watching your videos, Prof and Team.

[@edoherty9097]

I expect to get bones by this in Drafts lmao

[@Khaldryn]

Great video, love the Ashiok cameo and the whole skit. A+

[@BasedVidya]

Cosplay is crazy and that card looks pretty damn good!

[@IneptCardCollector]

I recently learned more about Pauper, and I have a newfound appreciation for our beloved, powerful, fun Commons
