If you think that is bad for standard wait until 50% of standard cards are fucking UB bullshit...

[@jasonmalin1010]

Jeskai control I have runs about 80 % before duskmourn. I haven't been playing much standard. But I was waiting for leyline to get banned, lol no way they let standard be a turn 2 format 😅

[@taylorstephens3529]

Today has been a wild wild wild day, so much news, good and bad, glad to finish my night with a chill video from Dev

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

The old Unsummon art is really nostalgic for me. Love it.

[@jasonmalin1010]

Wish wad aether channeler

[@jameswalterclark3696]

I think that this move with foundations feels like a step in the right direction. I think that it could serve as a real down-to-earth underpinning for standard and let new players (or their parents) buy a first couple of products without anxiety. Also, as an EDH enjoyer, there seemed to be plenty to like in the preview so far.

[@rahzvael5678]

Woo! Darksteel Colossus!

[@MarioJPC]

Turn 4 Mossborn Hydra + Fabled Passage is 4/4. It enters as a 1/1, counters double twice.

[@glassEmmm]

Yup

[@fidly4]

T1 forest, llanowar elves T2 forest, mossborn hydra T3 glimpse the core finding a forest. Now fabled, sac it find a forest which is your fourth land so it enters untapped. Untapped forest and llanowar elves means you can cast another glimpse the core for another forest. 16/16 hydra attacking turn 3!

[@christopherluntkowski-stoj6012]

I think the set looks sweet so far. I like how there's a series of old, important cards, like Blood Artist and Glorious Anthem, that are getting upgrades in Vengeful Bloodwitch and Anthem of Champions.

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

​@JStack I don't know I have spent years making custom magic cards my fandoms. For me looking up new cards 😍 or revisting old ones and looking at custom cards. For me not able to play as much as I would like being autistic I will say I have enjoyed since streets of new catena. I have enjoyed 😉 standard. 😂 I guess it is different for me cause I been playing 19:50 4th ed

[@kbreviews7785]

The black cards in this set look really good, super excited for the lich card and the exquisite blood on a stick

[@VerninTheRat]

Well, I've been getting into control and tempo play a lot and this "Time Stop" looks intriguing. I can't wait to try that out. Also, "Unsummon" will be nice to have. I'm already tired of these one-drops, doing 15 damage, or w/e, on turn two. Just unsummon them and watch the enchantments blow away in the wind. (it's a nice, cheap and decent card, IMO)

[@DSR505]

into the floodmaw already does what unsummon does and does it better

[@VerninTheRat]

@@DSR505 You're right, this is a decent card. For what reason are they reprinting Unsummon, then? lol. Is it because it's a common? That is honestly the only reason I could think of, at this point.

[@jonathanatkinson399]

Unsummon will stay in standard for 5 years. This also is probably what wotc is safe with being a baseline for this ability for 5 years as well.

[@TheRicardobtc]

@@VerninTheRat This Unsummon will stay legal for 5 years, whereas Into the Flood Maw will only be legal for... 1 or 2 years or whenever rotation happens (I lost track of that since they changed it tbh). Also, Into the Flood Maw can't bounce your own creatures if you ever need it to, so that's a niche Unsummon has over it.

[@jasonmalin1010]

​@@VerninTheRatyes as new players come in after or around Christmas, and for 4 years after it will be easier to obtain for new players. Into flood Maw is strictly better ,but would have been nice to have a copy or two of unsummon as I had so many uncommon to get in bloomburrow replacing my control pieces.

[@theretiredyogi4246]

Great content Dev

[@tonythepokemonguy751]

Unsummon with the lightning dragon art is one of my favorite arts

@Xaero Progenitus returns! An excellent reanimation target😊

[@thesamuraiman]

Sooo much *news* . I'm excited to see everyone cover the new sets/cards.

[@IAmQale]

Another thought: No cars in Foundations should end up being expensive if it’s going to be Standard legal for at least 5 years. That means print to oblivion for sure.

[@cwill1090]

You're doing the Lord's work Dev. Keep it up.

[@jadewheatley2559]

I’m super excited for a ton of these. With a large set lasting 5 years I might get back into Standard.

[@Glonk_Respecter]

I think I’ll play unsummon over flood maw because it lets you bounce your own creature. Cool we’re getting it back in standard.

[@Glonk_Respecter]

Kinda got screwed on the lands though, was hoping for ones that are actually good so we wouldn’t have to update the mana base every couple years.

[@garrett3117]

Opponent heals 2 from lands or w/e, at 22hp. Unstoppable Slasher + Tuteskuga-majig. (10 hp nuke). That'll be as fun as an HIV diagnosis, but lets go baby. Idk, back from a hiatus. Anyway, much love Dev, you have brought me back twice to collecting+ arena, & too broke to support but I know dental pain & tried many things. This saved me 3+ ER visits. Warm salt water rinse, I go heavier on salt myself, do your swish & let that very warm water settle a bit. Keep the bottom concentrated bit of warm salt water! Grab a cutip, take 1 end off, set aside. I use a bottle cap to mix the Baking Soda & water with. Depending, I'll use the stick side of the cutip to mix into a thickish paste. You want it to still be warm applying it liberally to the affected areas. For severe decay, the entire cotton you tore off comes in. Never had insurance, 11x extractions of adult teeth with abnormally long roots, fluoridosis, genetics sucks man. Liqud D3 + K2 changed my life. Zinc, Selenium, C (w/ Rosehips) 3 Omegas my bare minimum regiment for these semi-perma infections. Aleve reduces itis more than others personally but don't take NSAIDs daily anyway. We play w/ fire as antibiotic resistant + brain proximity, gut flora destruction. Build up your gut biome for immune sys obv but mental health esp. Apologies for the length (if I had a nickle) - hope this helps someone out there. Within 2-5m that 10/10 will be hopefully closer to a 3, & Ambesol at best makes a 9. Stay frosty, cheers.

[@anewbus8283]

This set is gonna make that counterburn deck Dev made forever ago that I never stopped playing go ballistic.

[@alianrobles7635]

Out of all the cards today, Flashfreeze is the one I'm most excited for. I remember there was a time standard was so messed up, it was maindecked.

[@ProphetofEndTimes]

So nice I watched it twice.

[@la_creatura_fea_y_bella]

This set has really nice vibes. It really does feel like Magic: Foundations. The Bloodthirsty Conqueror saying "exquisite blood" in the flavor text is cute. I like the Core Set feel because it's very Magic: The Gathering feel instead of "specific gimmick plane" feel. It does feel distinct! But distinctly MTG overall. Also (well ackshually) i think mossborn hydra (if it's just by itself) should be going up in powers of 2: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 etc. The Riot goblin seems fun also because it feels like normally the free goblin goblins are 3 mana (new squee, that one guy with mentor), or require more effort (the 2 mana one from a couple years ago with pack tactics or w/e) Crystal Barricade i think is gonna end up in a lot of my decks. Giving yourself hexproof is nice, but that one AFR sentry guy wasn't good enough. But this guy gets rid of noncombat damage too and that's fun

[@beanslinger6]

I'm surprisingly impressed by Foundations so far. Art on the newer cards look pretty decent.

[@JoshyuaGorgon]

[@useridkilla3698]

Demonic Pact, Harmless Offering, Obeka with extra upkeep triggers.

[@jamricsloe]

I want to see Hypnotic Spector

[@DankeyChang]

🔥🔥🔥

[@N3gativeR3FLUX]

And dark ritual legal in standard 🤤 🤣

[@chiblast100x]

I feel like the random discard of Hyppy isn't something they'd put in standard today, the "unfun" nature of random discard is part of the excuse they use to never reprint Hymn, but I could see the Abyssal Specter being a viable reprint.

[@DoctorWhoBlue]

​@@chiblast100xalso discard 2 for 2 mana is really strong, period. Every other effect either has a way out (bandit's talent, wrenchmind) or downside (mind rake). I do wish they'd reprint Hypnotic, but more likely three Rakdos one or something like Headless specter.

[@chiblast100x]

@@DoctorWhoBlue Well yeah, it was very OP as many cards were in that period, but when discussing reasons to never reprint it again when asked eons ago they cited both the cost efficiency and the unfun nature of random discard.

Great previews!

[@mrcatchingup]

I was pleased to see some of my old cards. Might make it easier to give type 2/standard a try.

[@michaelmcphee2006]

That Herald angle is going to lead to some draws. For example, The Enduring Tenacity/Bloodthirsty Conqueror combo isn't a may. You'll get stuck gaining and losing life. I'm not sure if there's any other combos in standard like that, off the top of my head.

[@iczesmv]

6:46 they are stars kinda like the Nyx in Theros.

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

I'm so happy for the foundations set. It gives my wallet a break. Duskmourn hit hard. I kinda want Dawnbringer, but I don't see me wanting too much. Until we get the other 5 verge lands.

[@brickfrogg]

I have a hidetsugu deck that can win turn 4 or 5 unless i get countered or they have life gain. Its fun but not consistent. My fav combo is a lightning axe copying it with reverberate that does 10 damage out right and i can drop a hidetsugu by turn 4. When it works it work when it doesn't it does not.

[@cameronmoerer6244]

WAIT. Elvish Archdruid into Pioneer then, yeah?!

[@1freexp511]

Sooo much cat support I want more dogs!!! Also Concerning Mossborn Hydra the first double goes to 2 then 4 let me show my work 1x2=2. These cards look very fun to play however i wish they would let the sets breath a little more.

[@collinbeal]

_Twinflame Tyrant_ could be a Turn 4 play with _Sarkhan_ from _Aftermath,_ with Sarkhan copying it when it hits the table and swinging in for 12. That could be pretty fun, if not the most competitively viable.

[@SecularMentat]

I'd like to see the commons and uncommons in this set so we can start thinking about draft/limited.

[@SecularMentat]

I'd like to see how any kind of 'ball lightning' plus 'copy card engine' would work out. I bet it'd be pretty nuts to get like 10 ball lightning tokens to blow up in their face.

[@SecularMentat]

Though I don't know how well a copy engine works on cards like that. Balloon man would just make them a 1/1 copy which sorta loses the point.

[@christmas6666]

Dev, your shirt is... all that.

[@ameliabright3519]

On the matter of other sets reprinting staple cards - they will have to print some of them for limited play, but I guess they can make themed cards that are very similar instead

[@Windflashdragon]

May be a good set. Just what standard needs. Hope the decks mentioned have enough support that they see play. I like a broad meta.

[@davidclifton4394]

hypnotic Spector and meathook massacre, cross fingers

[@ThePhotokill]

Do you think the starter collection would be worth it?

[@collinbeal]

_Demonic Pact_ is pretty good in current Standard, given the Enchantment Aristocrats cards and the Bargain mechanic. _Harmless Offering_ with it, I'm not as sure of, since _Archfiend of the Dross_ isn't exactly busting Standard open; it does make that deck more consistent, though.

[@austincrews7575]

I'm pretty bummed about the set symbol design, or lack there of. They knew starter was a thing? maybe not. Cards seem cool tho, happy to see so many oldies but goodies.

[@justincartmell3771]

Temples at rare and 500 count serialized. Speaks volumes.

[@theninedivides6851]

Zul lich lord is going to be sick in brawl and if there is a good amount of zombies in standard could be a tribal deck which is what I want so bad with zombies and elf's lol

[@SkylarPastor]

How is Soul Guide Lantern better than Ghost Vacuum? Both are legal in standard right now and I feel like you really only see the lantern as a budget option

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

I still remember around 7th edition people online saying "bro, they can't reprint juggernaut and savannah lions, they would break standard."

[@leonfriedemann9151]

Kaito seems pretty busted chandra is cool top end ... Except that yeah the vampire ... The counterspell seems good ... Don't know how strong it will be, but at common ... 😮

[@AENock]

Kaito seems solid in Simic or Blue Artifact Aggro. Agatha's Cauldron exiling a Gingerbrute or Surge Engine, should hit the emblem effect quite quickly.
