After playing a few games in the Early Access event (thanks Wizards!), I can already say Jodah's Codex is great in dedicated Domain decks, so at the very least a C+ For more updated ratings, make sure to join the Patreon or subscribe through Twitch.

[@Mirphise]

Did you test the domain mechanic? I was thinking a little here, and it seems easier to reach 4 types quite frankly.

[@LegenVD]

@@Mirphise Yeah decks easily get to 4 types in limited if they prioritize lands in draft.

[@scholarofthelosttrove]

Please we want to see you drafting Jodah

[@denisskenderovic3707]

It's 2AM and I am currently studying for my histology exam that's tomorrow. Will be an all-nighter I reckon. I can't wait to come home and watch the shit out of this video! Your effort is commendable. Best MTG content creator- no doubt.

[@mrginge143]

Histology seems weird as fuck but good luck man :)

[@RooZvonBooZ]

Good luck!

[@iszslayermaxx9912]

How did the exam go for you?

[@denisskenderovic3707]

Thanks guys! I passed! Now I have 2 weeks of free time to enjoy Arena again :D

[@MichaelB-jw5po]

I love these set reviews. Thanks for all the work you put into making them!

[@LegenVD]

Glad you like them!

[@matteovecchi287]

Thank you LVD for this amazing content. I just came back to Magic after two years, and finding your limited set review resparked my interest for the limited format, that I played a lot during the Theros beyond death set. And even then I was watching your videos, and I must say, your understanding of the game, regarding both deck building and strategic play, gave me a big advantage over the competition, and most importantly made the format a lot of fun. So, thank you very much!

[@Soadaa5656]

Been waiting for this, love the set reviews!!

[@maximilianherzer9945]

Thanks for all your effort Luca. It means much to me.

[@jonahduffin3282]

Excellent, been waiting for this one!

[@hamillinguini]

Thanks for the video, watching it right now!

[@pielily]

thanks so much for doing this. i usually listen to limited resource or lords of limited for these things, but neither have any content up 5+ days after full set spoiler, and 2 days until pre release. was pretty bummed about that at first, but now i'm glad, as i otherwise wouldnt have discovered this channel. cheers and thanks for the great content

[@LegenVD]

Glad I could help!

[@bye1551]

As much as I love commander, cards being designed for it in limited really hurts the format. It's clear half the legendary creatures weren't designed with the set in mind. This "throw it in there, design it for constructed" really hurts set cohesion and just leads to forgotten sets, remembered singles and that sucks imo

[@LegenVD]

On the other hand, fewer unbeatable bombs is a good thing for limited.

[@bye1551]

@@LegenVD that's a good point actually

[@Colesonian]

Jesus christ King Darian the 68th? We were this close to greatness

[@ThatOneSomethingg]

Its actually 48th, unfortunately. Maybe in Dominaria: Neon Dynasty, we'll see the 69th

[@pielily]

my roman is a little rusty but im pretty sure its the 69th. we did it

[@TheStanishStudios]

@@pielily X (10) in front of the bigger number L (50) means you subtract it from it, so XL = 40

[@llongone2]

Your assessment of Jodah was exactly what I was thinking.

Usefull as always!

Glad to hear that!

[@andreasheld2362]

Yeah! Another set review! Me like those big time. Thanks for all your great, hard work, mate! 🙂 Edit: Actually watched it in one go this time. A testament to the quality of your review!

[@Sixx2099]

Please for the love of god bring LVD draft back! Much appreciated

[@relyatNamlot]

WOOO SET REVIEW!

[@MortlachNL]

I watch quite a bit of Magic content on KZbin every day and I don't think I've ever seen anyone play sewer crocodile you mentioned in the letter grade explanation:-)

[@MortlachNL]

I also can't help but think of Constructed decks and I really hope Mirror Box makes a recurrence. Mirror Box + multiple copies of Jodah, the Unifier would be a janky sight to see!

[@covetedjewel]

The soul of windgrace "activate his discard effect in response and then get the land back" is totally right. Because it just says "get a land back" and it doesn't target, you don't have to decide which land to grab until the trigger has already resolved. Similarly, if you have a few lands in your graveyard, you can grab one, and then if an opponent exiles it in response, grab another land instead (although you don't tell your opponent which land you're getting until the ability has resolved)

[@johnroberts7185]

Jodah's going to be so much fun in constructed.

[@ericmrx]

I think it's important to note about Rith, Liberated Primeval that you can deal excess damage during your combat phase and then cast Rith, getting the 4/4 dragon at the end of your turn, without the opponent expecting it. It seems relatively feasible to enable it, and that makes it even more busted IMO.

[@LegenVD]

Great point!

[@Big_Dai]

@2:55:10 With Chaotic Transformation, players should probably always exile one of their own lands to gain the mana back... if they can do anything with it. Sad it's not an instant. EDIT: I hate Defiler of Vigor.. it makes the Black one look like a joke. Why can't these be symmetrically designed, or at least similar in power level when they are all costed the same?

[@SmashMyPitchUp]

So I've subscribed on Twitch, how do i get access to the sheet? Thanks in advance!

[@mrginge143]

For Astor I’m pretty sure he works for the kamigowa equipments - spending 1 mana to make something into a 5/5 menace demon sounds pretty dope (blade of the oni)

[@LegenVD]

Reconfigure is not the same as Equip sadly.

[@sanitynotincluded4837]

@@LegenVD but doesn't it say "all equipment have equip 1" meaning it's a seperate payment from reconfigure?

[@LegenVD]

@@sanitynotincluded4837 My mistake, had Bruenor in mind which works a little differently. Yes, this should be sweet with Reconfigure, thanks for the idea!

[@AshtonTheMelon]

Join Forces also has some benefits with Enlist creatures. Say you had two creatures and four enlist creatures in a go wide deck. Could you not stack the four triggers, resolver two, cast Join Forces, pump the two creatures, then let the last two resolve? Helps in the mirror two since big boards build up on each side. Especially on cards that get effects from being tapped, I can see this being a B in this set.

[@LegenVD]

Indeed, mass pump spells can be great with an evasive Enlist creature.

[@gamefan8552]

Hi, needed to fully understand set do I need to pay to see if any review has changed ?

[@LegenVD]

If you have Twitch Prime you can basically do it for free. Just connect your Twitch account to Discord after subscribing and you’ll find it on my server under #tierlist. Otherwise Patreon is the best way to support the channel and will give you access to every updated tierlist, including the upcoming Brothers’ War expansion.

[@Kumagoro42]

You didn't mention the third ability (out of four) of Plaza of Heroes, which generates mana of any color for any use, not just for legendary spells. It's based on the colors of legendaries you control, though, so maybe it doesn't improve the overall card a ton, but it does a bit.

[@LegenVD]

Yeah, cut out the part where I read that as it was a little confusing. The first draft that's going out today features the card and actually used it that way.

[@cooperberry7265]

Let’s go

[@Eisog]

No mention of compeated on Ajani? Makes a Big difference if only having 2 loyalty when casting it for 3 mana

[@LegenVD]

If he's not under pressure I don't mind getting it down early to draw cards, but yeah it will depend on the board.

[@ShadowStarshine]

Do you still draft? I haven't been able to find any draft content on your platforms in a while. Miss that stuff.

[@LegenVD]

Uploaded a draft like 6 hours ago.

[@ShadowStarshine]

@@LegenVD Awesome, hope to see more of it, I used to binge watch your drafts!

[@MrSirbra]

I kind of wish you would do a section on best commons and uncommon. Maybe even a rares or better that are traps.

[@LegenVD]

Glancing at my spreadsheet will quickly give you those answers 😉

[@MrSirbra]

@@LegenVD so I did the twitch prime sub and idk how to find/access the spreadsheet

[@LegenVD]

@@MrSirbra Twitch subscribers can join the sub-only Discord server. In Discord go to: User Settings > Connections > Twitch. Once in the server you'll find them under #tierlists

[@Crit-Multiplier]

United full limited. Let that sink in

[@jemhardar]

Thatˆs basically the end of Radâs story……..couldnˆt stop laughing😜

[@adamastor9869]

I think the entire point of Sol'Kanar in Limited is that you should sacrifice it before you're forced to give it to the opponent. This shouldn't be difficult to do in Grixis colors, and at that point you've gotten quite a bit of value.

[@Asian_Caleb]

I got absolutely wrecked by jodah’s codex against a 5 color domain deck

[@metalhev3989]

Yeah, bant is going to be a nightmare. Counterspells that make creatures, ramp that makes creatures, creatures that make counterspells draw cards, creatures that make counterspells make more creatures.

[@tuomasronnberg5244]

Have to disagree on the Raven Man. Raven tokens being unable to block makes them considerably worse, and 1/1 flyer just doesn't end games that quickly. The discard ability being sorcery speed means that in early game it would take your entire turn to use, which means that you won't. In late game when you would have the mana to spare your opponent no longer has any cards in hand! It's just too clunky card to work well, and overall I'd rate it a D.

[@LegenVD]

It's a 2-drop with a lot of extra upside if games drag out. Won't be as good as in constructed, but still a great pick.

[@kuzcololazogaming1171]

With all of these legendary creatures MIRROR BOX will be broken as hell in this new set.

[@michelecarroll6355]

Perfect🤗 😅💋

[@dirtdirtdirtdirtdirt]

DMU has some other fun ways of sneaking in excess damage for Rith's passive! Along with red burn spells (and the one in white), there're 9 instant speed pump spells in Naya and two fight effects!

[@MrSirbra]

If sol'kanar stays in the battlefield for 9 turns, you would get it back, yea?

[@LegenVD]

Yup

[@Wuggynaut]

It's really amusing how no one reviewing these cards is prepared for the name King Darien XLVIII. The numeral means 48 for anyone who's wondering.

[@LegenVD]

Wasn't prepared to read it on the fly, but love working them out.

[@aegisholdings]

4hrs??? There better be a check at the end bc this is like a job.

[@LegenVD]

You’re welcome!

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

A limited review not a constructed one... So there's a slight chance that less than 99% of the cards will be useless. Ayyy!

Of all Rare Lands.. why put in pain-lands in this set? I just don't get it..

[@llongone2]

They are all Dominaria locations (like Cave of Koilos)...soz makes perfect sense.

[@kitsovereign4127]

They have names tied to Dominaria, and Pioneer players have been asking for the allied painlands (the enemy ones are already in because of Magic Origins). It's a nombo with domain but otherwise this was probably the best place to put 'em.
