Duskmourn Limited Set Review: Multicolored & Colorless | Magic: the Gathering

[@unknownuser3000]

I started playing magic during ice age and haven't played in about 9 years. Last tournament I was at was in 2015. I miss magic so much but at my age it's scary to try to make friends. I love your videos and vicariously enjoy it through here. Thank you from those of us with anxiety and disabilities who can't find real players to play and enjoy this game so many of us love, or want to love but can't for various reasons.

[@macojo2477]

hey man, try it out at a local store. There are loads of different ages (atleast here in the netherlands). I've played against people who are both 13 years old and people who are like 60. Even though most magic players aren't the most social I have seen that most magic players are very welcoming and understanding. Of course there are always some rotten eggs but hey, thats with everything. Hope you can get back into the game!

[@stefanoderosa9506]

welcome back! You can get back, whether it is IRL on Arena

[@chrisj5497]

I hear you. I stopped playing about 10 years ago during Kamigawa. Went to my first prerelease in a decade when Bloomburrow came out. I was so nervous at the shop, and kept apologizing to my opponents for being a little slow. Everyone was so kind and patient and even though I was anxious at first it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Give it a shot if you feel up to it

[@mjjjuly]

i haven't play with paper Magic for more than a decade now. i just play on Arena now.

[@richarddylan5421]

Stop being a pussy.

[@littlebighamm8693]

I feel like Ghost Vacuum is a good sideboard card for anti-delirium decks. If someone is trying to go hard on delirium, you can help keep them from that with the vacuum.

[@cax1175]

My favorite video in the set reviews, helps me look at possible additions to my favorite EDH deck, colorless Eldrazi. My friends love it too!

[@timeparadox999]

winter is the bluest jund card i've ever seen

[@gdiridium5525]

winter looks like an extra for Siouxie & the Banshees

[@NemisCassander]

To iterate a bit on Undead Sprinter, if you cast it in your first main phase, it's a 3/3 Trample Haste. Your opponent is disincentivized from blocking it, as you can get it back even if no other creatures die, because you already got it back once. Seems pretty good. Also note that it doesn't have to be your creature that dies. You could Shock something in your first main phase, then play this as a 3/3, then attack with it.

[@Controlqueen31]

You can sacrifice it himself and another thing with the signpost uncommon and ping everything for 2 each turn, or even more if you have more mana because the recursion. It's a good creature in his colors because of the sacrifice mechanic.

[@ab-mc2nq]

oh i missed that it doesn't have to your thing that dies. Very nice card tbh

[@DaveBloodbow]

The printing of baseball bat implies that baseball cannonically exists in the magic world.

[@kaseybennett7415]

They also confirmed killer clowns, 1970's televisions, highschool cheerleaders, and guns, so baseball is *hardly* the most surprising thing to happen. (Sorry if this sounds rude, this set just makes me grumpy)

[@danbradshaw2223]

The players in Field of Dreams were Planeswalkers.

[@YourAdHere4]

new capenna also had baseball bats

[@DaveBloodbow]

@@YourAdHere4 Oops, I didn't know that.

[@missingdays1]

After the racing set, can't wait for the football set.

[@pedromollo479]

Right in my lunchtime! Thanks Nizzahon!

[@otticeunited9627]

Right in my dinnertime :D

[@bombsonengland]

Lol I've been watching these too long, I guessed the grade for Arabella just from your phrasing

[@Peter-qe1yh]

Marina can lock doors as well. So every turn if you have a room that does damage when unlocked you can just do that once per turn. Still not saying she's amazing due to her cost but if you are able to build for her I can for sure see her popping off.

[@XYBeautiful]

Came here to say exactly that. Some repeatable door effects are going to be uncomfortable to deal with.

[@sab6437]

Yep. I think he definitely underrated the card. It's not a bomb, but it is worth playing with sufficient fixing.

[@GFortz]

I'm not sure where, but I've heard the "under 13" lands called Shadowlands, after Death's Shadow. I think that's a pretty good summary of what they're about.

[@DiscardatRandom]

Thats dope actually

[@Gunnarr123abc]

Im just going to call them pedolands

[@RJ-pm2hp]

I've heard them called the Unlucky lands now.

[@gillablecam]

Least important reason I hate a card: 8:25 Drag to the Roots's flavour text says "let our blood be their mulch, our flesh their soil" which shows zero understanding of what mulch is. Mulch is a barrier to prevent water evaporating, not a liquid you put on your plants. "Let our blood water their roots in the soil of our flesh" would have been more appropriate.

[@alexzachary3527]

At our PreRelease going into the final round 3 out of 5 unbeaten decks were Boros and 2 of them went unbeaten when it was all said and done (Including Mine 😁). If you haven't played with Arabella yet just know that she is insane.. I'll be building a commander deck around her.

[@a.foobix]

Literally just came to your channel to see if you had anything up yet, see this uploaded 3 minutes ago. Amazing. Thank you!

[@tomfrost6049]

Finally a set of MTG that I may actually play in limited. This set actually FEELS like magic again. The mechanics not quite so much but the art and the theme is so creepy it's actually quite good.

[@spookinet87]

This set will be crazy drafting experience! I think this will easily be the set with most crazy decks with all the mechanics, all the fixing and heavy bomb centric. Might be a fun 3 months at FNMs As per usual big up for all the content. Favorite videos to watch before prereleases.

[@starmanda88]

Oh HELLO I just sat down to chill on the couch, this is perfection.

[@Redpoppy80]

Nizzahon doesn't give build around grades anymore. There are a lot of multicolored cards in this set that warrant a build around grade. Even in signposts, some of them need more drafting attention to make work than normal. Marina Vendrell for example is the definition of a build around. It is just an F in a non-rooms deck while she could have bomb level power if you can get some of the more powerful rooms. I would say it is an F/B+ but it is likely more for constructed.

[@NizzahonMagic]

There are a few cards in this video I gave build around grades too. Generally, when I don't give them, it means that I think achieving the thing that card needs is going to be the case in virtually any deck in those colors.

[@DuhstinK]

Best time of the year!

[@altromonte15]

Putting the Dimir uncommon next to the golgari spider, it's just sad They couldn't at least make the flyer a 3/2 so it could trade?

[@Gunnarr123abc]

3/2 flying lifelink is a bit powerful... if anything they should have just made the spider a 2/2, it is good enough with its late game ability, or a 3/2

[@Controlqueen31]

You can't respond to a player opening a room at sorcery speed in their turns. Have that in mind. Is like turning something face up. If there is a trigger, you respond when that triggers goes on the stack, but not when someone unlocks the door and get a passive effect or a battle trigger. Also I feel Simic is going to be busted, at least in board state. It's two signpost uncommon are GREAT compare to most colors, and a lot of uncommon and common manifest dread cards are great on it's own.

[@quartersskates]

Fear of Infinity seems pretty good to me. Flying and lifelink on a 2/2 body at 3 mana is above the norm, and those keywords can take over a game very quickly. I'm not really interested in trading my 2/2 flier with a grizzlybear anyways so the unblockability is less relevant. Earie is just bonus after that.

[@Gunnarr123abc]

not very good against the opposing uncommon 2/3 reach green gets, but there is no real GREAT reach cards besides that spider. Otherwise there is flyers and sure quite a few are higher toughness so the 2/2 becomes pretty bad at that point. So yeah seems alright to me

[@keiharris332]

Marvin sounds insane in so many brawl decks. Auto include in a similar fashion to that 4c artifact creature where you name a creature type and those creatures get their triggered abilities an additional time.

[@kawaiiLorenz1995]

Eerie works well with many enhancements enablers in wilds of eldraine.

[@sebastianotomasso2098]

Thanks man, I agree with most stuff though I am more optimistic about specific cards.

[@stuflames4769]

Yay preview season

[@n3croticism]

I love the design on Zimone. Sure, it's a bit complicated but it really conveys the idea that she's a mathematician and her magic revolves around numbers.

[@timzoat]

One of my favorite parts of every Preview season 😊

[@tmlmusic5367]

The art in this set is incredible

[@legodragon1999]

I’m very curious to see how Fear of Infinity ultimately plays out in this format. While its downsides of needing to be recast and being unable to block are significant, especially if the format is aggressive, I cannot help but consider if the card could be utilized as an engine piece with Defiled Crypt. The first time you recur Fear of Infinity each turn, you would also get an enchantment creature off the Crypt. With an initial enchantment and later casting the Fear, you could get three Eerie triggers in one turn. It’s a card that can fairly easily leave your graveyard incidentally and get you value, though the Crypt is the only card in the set that really cares about that. Probably still a magical Christmas Land scenario, but I‘ll remain cautiously curious.

[@Rexcilious]

[@MysticWhiteReaper]

I've been looking forward to this all week! Thanks for the great content ❤

[@slick705]

I hope I get a chance to play with jolly balloon man, looks like it's good/fun but that's also the most awesome artwork I've seen on a card in a minute

[@marcellusjordan5681]

Kaito is going to be such a value card in Yuriko Can’t wait to see how it plays

[@fulltime4545]

Set review for horrorset starts on friday 13th. Very fitting :).

[@PoYi-fi1zt]

I love your set limited review~~~ best ever to prepare me for the set

[@sab6437]

Restricted Office looks really good in R/W decks with its theme of creatures with power 2 or less. A guaranteed one-sided wrath for 4 mana is definitely not a F/D.

[@joeys2234]

Zimone is one of the weirdest cards I've ever seen printed in a main set! Turn 3 1/1 that creates a 3/3 at the end step is pretty nice, but that pressure of knowing Zimone has to go or Primo will become a 5/5 and then eventually a 7/7 (11/11 is unlikely) is pretty potent. Very curious how she will play out, especially with Terramorphic Expanse in the set.

[@sab6437]

I don't understand why you rated Smoky Lounge/Misty Salon so highly as a build-around. It's extremely slow to get you anything better than single a 2/2 flyer for effectively 5 mana over two turns. The only way it could possibly be good is if you are not only heavily into Rooms, you also have a ton of ways to repeatedly lock Misty Salon to then unlock it again and generate more flying tokens. Even if you've got all that support in your deck, it seems super slow to get going.

[@ElPanadero18]

I feel like restricted office will be better in a red white deck that goes hard on the power-two-or-less thing.

[@otticeunited9627]

Ohhh nice, set review time! Thanks, Nizzahon :)

[@NizzahonMagic]

Hope you enjoy!

[@otticeunited9627]

@@NizzahonMagic I did :)

[@isaknilsson71]

Rules question about activated abilities in regards to the TV: It has a mana ability (e.g. "tap to add white") and another ability (transform for 7 mana) with no apparent timing limitation that I can identify. Does that mean the tranformation is 7 mana if the TV is already tapped, and otherwise virtually only 6 since the TV can pay for the last mana itself? Or is this sort-of-simultaneous double-activation not allowed somehow?

[@cjfeinberg7613]

You can absolutely use the tv’s mana on its animation. Unless there are overlapping costs (ex. Both require the card to tap), you can use as many abilities of a card as you can afford. They are technically separate activations, but mana abilities can’t be responded to and you could hold priority anyway.

[@Jessalakasam]

Baseball Bat feels really bad to me. If you're behind it seems like it it'll be almost useless cause you usually don't want to attack in that situation

[@NizzahonMagic]

I mean, it does buff a creature which isn't entirely useless -- but yeah, it's not great when you can't attack.

[@dr.tre90]

First card and I'm like wow, Annabelle has made it to MtG.

[@Mythikal13]

The flavour of the baseball bat card is chefs kiss idc if its good, its fun and has a fitting effect

[@irrealislife]

Could you imagine a Misanthropic Guide with Sheoldred?! Taking 6 per turn with a max hand size of 3 😣

[@sallomon2357]

It's funny that all the lands received the same grade :D

[@faerie7dragon]

Undead Sprinter doesn't specify it has to be your creature that dies for you to be able to get him back. Makes removal even more swingy!

[@ItsDangerousGoAlone]

Oh...... Funny how i miss read it the same way.

[@rayswift5711]

Terramorphic Expanse also helps with Dellirium

[@NizzahonMagic]

I feel like I said that.

[@kyleszumowski937]

You’re sleeping on Arabella. She can steal games out of nowhere, and the fact that she’s well priced with a fair stat line and triggers by attacking is great value. She deserves a B+ imo.

[@antedeguemon1194]

I think you're underselling Marina Vendrell's ability. Unlocking a door for free every turn is huge value when you consider there are a lot of 6,7 mana cost doors, and some of those even have a 1-3 mana side, and if you're playing Marina you probably have a decent number of doors that you could draw on ETB. Yeah, she's hard to cast and sucks if instantly killed but it feels like it's the kind of card that wins the game if you untap.

[@NizzahonMagic]

You're thinking you're going to have a door to unlock way too often, I think.

[@antedeguemon1194]

​@@NizzahonMagic In a deck I'd run Marina, yeah, I do believe either I'm gonna have rooms on the battlefield or draw one on ETB since it looks at 7 cards. When it's untapped something has to have gone really wrong in deckbuilding for you to play with Marina and not do the thing. Like, I don't disagree at all with your final score for the average deck, but I think it could have a separate build around score because the effect is really strong if you can make use of it.

[@GrendelNin]

Question: Since 'Found Footage' is a clue, does it also have the standard “{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.” clue ability?

[@NizzahonMagic]

Nope. It has a better version.

[@GrendelNin]

@@NizzahonMagic Since clue tokens have "(2), sacrifice this artifact: draw a card" [111.10f]... what if you make a token copy of it, would it not have it then? (yeah, I'm one of those guys who is always trying to find loophole in the rules LoL)

[@raymondan4701]

@@GrendelNin No. The only thing on a card is the text on that card. Plus, Clue doesn't carry that ability inherently, it's just an artifact type.

[@GrendelNin]

@@raymondan4701 Ah.. did a little more rule reading. The "pay 2/draw a card" is an inherent ability of clues tokens, but only clues tokens named "Clue".

[@White__Ink]

The storyteller @26:51 starts at 3/3 for 3 and gets bigger pretty fast. Im thinking its a solid B. Maybe even B+

[@NizzahonMagic]

As I mentioned, it can definitely snowball like that. But it's not like it just gets a counter every turn, I think it takes enough work that it isn't above a B-. Now, if it turns out Survival is easier than I'm expecting, I could see it being better.

[@MrViniciusgris]

SO IT BEGINS.

[@zetaking2909]

would marina vendrells effect let you regain a rooms unlock effect if you say used her to lock, then repayed the unlock effect? depends on the rooms, but that could be really powerfull.

[@NizzahonMagic]

Yep, she can do that. I mentioned that locking your own rooms could be good later in the video on another card that does that, but forgot to do it with her.

[@kaiseremotion854]

beartrap should have been like, pay 2, sac, deal 4 damage to attacking creature or something for a real "trap"

[@bobjones4469]

I thought he said Dustborn cards, lol. This is WotC so I wouldn't be surprised. I don't even play Magic anymore but I'll buy Dustborn cards.

[@datalorev]

Someone needs to explain to me why the verge lands aren’t S tier dual lands. C+?!?! What???? It’s a dual land that ALWAYS comes into play untapped!

[@NizzahonMagic]

Even if it legitimately always entered untapped it would be like a B-. There are limits to what fixing can do for you in non-cube Limited

[@xxANBUxx]

Because having really good fixing isn't as important in Standard limited compare to things like constructed or vintage cube.

[@woodysmith2681]

Ghost Vacuum feels like the anti-delirium card. 4 types in your graveya...wait, never mind, you need 5 types in...sorry, 6 types to have delirium until next turn.

[@junshanluo14]

i think you rate my boi kaito too low even on b+. A 3/4 for 3 is a really good rate. and he is already starting at 4. the +1 just keep making kaito bigger. just think it as a lumiarc give +1+1 every turn on a already good rate of body. for most deck in limited on attacking back its very hard to generate 5 more damage even if you are just trying to kill kaito via creature.... and you forgot the fact if you ever draft 2 kaito. omg its disgusting using ninjizu to reset his loyality and keep grow him bigger. on limited where walker removal is not premium is kinda crazy tbh.

[@junshanluo14]

this game is literally evolving into heartstone lmfao. if you think kaito its a 4/5(actually if you untap with kaito +1 again with +2 emblem is a 5/6 hexproof attacker) with 3 mana that 1st attack 3 damage is unblocked when played you gain 5 hp(armor???? loyality) even with notable making token on a +1 is still kinda insane. (just think he is is like more of aggro top end instead of midrange or control)
