MTG TOP 10: 🦇 Bats!🦇 | Magic: the Gathering

[@olipod5470]

That damn Deep Cavern Bat surely is on the list, right? Edit: Yep…

[@melenynder7136]

I would not be surprised if it was number one

[@frenche2480]

What ? But that card rarely sees play and isn't totally ubnocious right ? :p

[@8jb65]

At some point I'd love to see you top 10 favorite cards (or an update if you've already done it). No theme. No restrictions. Just your favorite.

[@Kuronosa]

I was surprised that Vampire Skeleton made it, but that card was my jam back in the day....I love that card so much.

[@maxrichard2244]

Man I love these Halloween intros, also just realized the Evangelist has Bat-tle Cry 😁

[@wolfdwarf]

Boooooo

[@Shimatzu95]

Skeletal vampire just might be the spookiest creature in mtg

[@timmyg316]

What about silversmote ghoul? It's a vampire AND a zombie!

[@Shimatzu95]

@@timmyg316 runner up, since skeleboi is a skeleton vampire making bats -> 3>2

[@deyicon1983]

Have you not seen The Fallen?

[@Shimatzu95]

@@deyicon1983 nope, that name means nothing to me

[@sallomon2357]

​@@Shimatzu95 then you should

[@RadishDoctor]

I'm actually kind of surprised Mirkwood Bats isn't here

[@xxANBUxx]

One thing that makes Deepcavern so insane is that it can hit creatures from the hand which Kitesail couldn't. Very frustrating card to play against lol

[@JasonOshinko]

Two things I really enjoy on the rare occasion when KZbinrs actually do them: 1. Correctly pronounce the "zh" part of "Orzhov." 2. Calling generic mana what it is rather than "colorless."

[@mutedonkey8361]

True, colorless mana is it's own thing hence why the land type wastes exists

[@InsanityPlea100]

​@@mutedonkey8361 most people I know who call it colorless are old players, who see it as interchangeable. When many of use started playing; the eldrazi were well over a decade from existing. The only true reason to see generic and colorless as separate was because lands were colorless. We (meaning all my friends and I) called artifacts colorless spells, which lead to us calling 'generic' mana colorless.

[@rajamicitrenti1374]

Given how low the entry bar for this list was, I'm a little surprised Mirkwood Bats hadn't found some home to get a few points in in Modern to make the list.

[@LordofBroccoli]

12:23 - I thought for a second you said Way Snot deck xD

[@kasuto-no-machi]

7:00 The play pattern where you turn 1 Eyetwitch, turn 2 block with it then sac it to Deadly Dispute, effectively negating a combat, going up a card and ramping was great. It would also be completely unplayable in today’s Standard.

[@matkiley17]

Bats in the Belfry is a wild joke to put on a magic card jajaja what an awesome thing to slip in. R&D had fun with that one

[@tylerdonigian9127]

I absolutely love your Halloween intro. I look forward to it every year, fourth year and counting. Awesome videos

[@UwURainUwU]

Its always bugged me that outside of the game effect don't in commander (such as lessons), if a person only had a surface understanding of Commander and Legacy, the fact that wish effect are viable in Legacy but functionally banned in EDH would just feel 'wrong'. Id unironically like to see a "wish-board" as part of the game - Spawnsire of Ulamog 20 ability SHOULD work in edh - change my mind. 🤭

[@truegrit2060]

I'm kind of itching to make a bat themed commander deck now.⚫️⚪️🙂👍

[@Shimatzu95]

No better time for it than now 👍

[@SomeGuy712x]

Me too, with Zoraline at the helm. 🦇👍

[@valeman0]

That opening animation was on point!

[@adancein]

I play Belfry Spirit in my commander blink deck because I had it and didn't want to order cards lol. Ooh I should get the evangelist as well! More bats!

[@venkelos6996]

Based on the hype it generated, I'm a bit surprised not to see Mirkwood Bats; I'm guessing it's because it's not Standard-legal, and so there were various tournaments it couldn't participate in, but I guess I was still expecting to see it, it having been such a bogeyman card, for it's time.

[@therealHLY]

mirkwood bats is a very good commander card and gets a lot of play and hype there, but in normal 60 card constructed a 4 drop that needs other cards to trigger its effect just doesn't match the tempo, especially when it is limited to the eternal formats. it was also very solid in lotr limited since army tokens were a big thing. very good card, just not one that's really primed too take over top lists

[@rajamicitrenti1374]

Me too, especially with #10 being just 2 points. I thought it would have found a home somewhere in Modern, or maybe even Legacy.

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

Seen way too much Deep-Cavern Bat to think #1 would have been anything else 😄

[@dkwh1986]

All these bats have a lot of upside.... down

[@certaingloom3797]

Top 10 card arts of creatures/planeswalkers meeting a fatal end.

[@Kasigi03]

I'm actually surprised there are only 55 bat cards. Seems low, but only recently have they become a formidable tribe type. Even in the old days, new bats were so meh..... now they're fun.

[@CharlesLeeRay812]

So close to that 100K milestone. Any ideas for a special video when you hit it??

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

If it’s not Top 10 Vintage (Minus Power 9) I’m gonna bLoW a gAsKeT All hail our Crustacean King!

[@SultaiGuy]

WOOO, DIRGE BAT ON THE LIST AND SEA-DASHER MENTION

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

I'm personally a big fan of bats, I've never really ran them in MTG though. Perhaps in my Sengir deck, but aside from that, not really ever. What I have done, a lot, is ask for "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!

[@Waffletigercat]

I have always loved the art on Skeletal Bat. But boy howdy is that inefficient by today’s standards.

[@jackiespaceman]

People say bats are just flying mice but they’re much more like flying squirrels :3

[@democrrrracymanifest]

Believe it or not, they’re more closely related to rhinoceroses than to rodents.

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

@@democrrrracymanifest Ahhh, yes. I see that you know your mammals well.

[@monkeygaming2859]

Bat god better be here, I love him Edit: Good

[@quint3ssent1a]

If rats are a creature tribe, then bats are an angels of that tribe...

Bats are not spooky, they are cute :(

[@nickbalmes6640]

Flying rodents with lifelink! (Most of the time anyway)

[@connormohs6046]

I swear that stupid deep cavern bat should be banned. I don’t care how controversial that is, I hate that thing so much

[@Ch1ll4x1n]

Never understood why you don’t mention how many points the cards have for audio only people.

[@zackpumpkinhead8882]

Just shove a Sheltered by Ghosts and Etherial Armor on the bat and go to town!

TIL Bloodletter of Aclazotz is not a bat

Vampire demon yeah haha

[@wingofshu]

Rank the scarecrows

[@RibusPQR]

There's at least ten Horrors with points, right?

[@NizzahonMagic]

I've done then more than once

[@SomeGuy712x]

Nice, I was hoping to see you do Top 10 Bats after you did Top 10 Vampires! (7:17) Ah, Zoraline. I intend to make a Commander deck with that bat as the leader, and I'll likely use most (if not all) of these Top 10 Bat cards in the deck. (10:38) There's Aclazotz, the most expensive Bat card right now, and fortunately, I was lucky enough to pull one from my LCI bundle that I got for Christmas last year. I usually find double-faced cards too awkward to want to work with, but I'll certainly make sure Aclazotz is in my Zoraline deck anyway, since I happen to have it. (12:37) Heh. When I saw Aclazotz only at #2, I figured it was likely that Deep-Cavern Bat took the crown. Good thing I've somehow acquired five of them. So, I can put one in my Zoraline deck, and then still have a full playset to use in a 60-card deck if I so desire. (13:30) Fortunately, I do already own all of these (with the exception of Dirge Bat, but I should be getting that one in the mail from an online order very soon).

[@Youniquedesign1892]

why do you never mention historic?

[@loserofthegame2]

Not never, but very infrequently. I also don't know how often historic actually has events that qualify for points

[@loserofthegame2]

[@tedyoat]

YOU FORGOT Mirkwood Bats, should be at least third or fourth

[@victorsanchez-castro8944]

I hate deep cavern bat

[@Optimator7]

Pronounce "Caroline". Now pronounce "Zoraline"

[@HWHY]

How about "Gasoline?"
