MTG Top 10: Green Planeswalkers | Magic: the Gathering | Episode 400

[@autobotjazz1972]

pretty much as expected, lots of Nissa and Garruk with a touch of Vivien

[@eddievedderface]

Nissa, Who Breaks Standard is number 1 I'm guessing.

[@co6249]

And he said it was a surprise

[@SR-di7ox]

That's the only card I assume is #1

[@NotSoSerious69420]

One of, IMO, the strongest mono planeswalker ever printed into standard. Up there with mind sculpture.

[@eddievedderface]

@@NotSoSerious69420 Probably the most dominant non-banned card in Standard ever. Either Nissa or the Rhino.

[@09Dragonite]

Honestly, standard isn't even a real format anymore. It's not competitive, it's just routinely solved and then shaken up and then solved again. WotC has been power creeping their game for so long now that no one can completely blame any one card or standard environment for being broken when it is clearly the devs' faults for not playtesting their own designs in their own environments.

[@graysonmclester9137]

Garruk Relentless is one of my favorite planeswalkers I just love the double sided and I love that he isn't just a werewolf it makes him feel more unique

[@Son_of_Pandora]

Ah yes, Nissa, who hurts my feelings, at this point

[@FrankFrankly711]

I was doing a War of the Spark draft, and the person passing to me gave me Nissa, Who Shakes the World. I'm like "Dude are you sure??" and he said he wasn't playing green. I drafted her and won every single game, undefeated til the end. I somehow played her every game and her Forest Army stomped em all!

[@marcodaddario3965]

The Twerking One

[@Igor369]

I have been calling her Nissa who shakes Chandra.

[@llongone2]

I've always called that card, Nissa, Who Wins The Game Easily

[@09Dragonite]

Love the Nissas. My favorite mechanics are land interactive, and creature lands are amazing so she's kind of my favorite character and I'm glad to see her all over this list.

[@MineRoyale.]

I suggest you split the multicoloured into two coloured (guilds) and three coloured (shards/wedges) if there's enough walkers with points

[@StefanWB]

I was curious, so I looked up how many three-colour planeswalkers there were, because I assumed there weren't enough for a top eight. And I was right. There are only six three-coloured planeswalker cards ever printed in a Standard-legal set - four printings of Nicol Bolas (including the M19 one that starts as a creature), Sarkhan Unbroken from Dragons of Tarkir, and Narset of the Ancient Way from Ikoria. Commander set PWs and Modern Horizons PWs just don't have the opportunity to accrue points without ever being in Standard, especially the Commander walkers which are only ever legal in Legacy and Vintage.

[@ceulgai2817]

Did you seriously think Jacob needed clarification on what 2- and 3-colored meant?

[@darriusskyler8493]

I remember my m15 pre-release box, I didn't get to play due to military service: primordial hydra, goblin rabblemaster, nissa (#2) and garruk apex with a llanowar wastes. Best pre release I never got to play. My war of the spark was the one I did get to play and got a promo shakes the world, only lost once.

[@AidanWR]

The funny part was that I thought, "not surprising," as you said, "some of you might be surprised," about number one

[@sephyrias883]

09:30 Not surprising at all. Nissa was close to, if not the best 5 drop in Standard until Elspeth Conquers Death came.

[@sallomon2357]

Can't wait for the multicolored planeswalkers list with *cough* quite a few obvious candidates already.

[@mikenahmias7102]

The list will simply be called “Teferi Planeswalkers” 🙄🙄🙄😞

@@elizacogen711 your comment almost made me thrown up. Good job

[@StefanWB]

@@elizacogen711 Can Wrenn and Six really accrue enough points without ever being legal in Standard? And wasn't Saheeli Copy Cat hate-banned too quickly for it to earn enough Standard points.

[@darksteel913]

Important thing about flip garruk is that the planeswalker uniqueness rule was different when it was legal. It was played sometimes as a way to kill 2GGG Garruk with the legend rule at the time.

[@Nico_enni]

Like people Player Bad have to kill jtms

[@greywolf7577]

From a flavor standpoint, that system makes more sense. There shouldn't be two Garruks on the battlefield, even if they are named differently. It doesn't make sense. It's just one guy.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

While maybe not as obvious as the other 4 colours, I had no troubles to guess who was at #1.

[@spudkin564]

I bet it's Nissa, Who Shapes the Meta

[@bensachs1855]

Interesting that very few of these green planes walkers have seen play in older formats

[@TempestDacine]

Honestly #10 is so powerful that it surprises me it didn't do better in standard. Just goes to show how high of a power level standard was with eldraine

[@TempestDacine]

To add she's almost strictly better than 3 other 5 mana walkers on here (obv not wstw) but didn't get a 3rd of their points.

[@marpj6138]

@@TempestDacine I can see an argument for being better than Reid, but Reid has a roleplayer (great from the side) while Advocate wants to be the engine, that means Reid can be played in a larger variety of decks. But Advocate has really unfortunate that her competition for the 5 mana spot has the number one in the list which has just a better engine I agree that its better than Primal Hunter But I dont think she is better than Vital Force (which plays so much better than it reads, and being playable in both legacy and modern shows that) nor World Waker (this walker has played in 3 color decks without duals which means her second +1 has useless, that is how powerfull she has against control. And in monogreen she has just stupid, imagine droping her and courser of kruphix turn 3)

[@jozefkeresturi2139]

Nissa who shakes the mountains is my pick for #1

[@superbaas8822]

Mentioning Nissa who Shakes the World without at all mentioning Breeding Pool feels like a bit of a crime. The fact she could untap a land and hold up a negate or essence scatter put her miles above other green planeswalkers. Part of what made he so strong was infact how well she fit into control decks, almost always interested in running blue. Not to mention the significant chunk of her points that came as a follow up act to Oko.

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

Nissa who shakes the world right?

[@tygonmaster]

"This number 1 may surprise some people" Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE. If I see N,WStW one more time....I swear....a seriously broken walker. Also, a product of just how broken green mana ramp is and she easily comes down turn 3.

[@greywolf7577]

If you see her one more time, you'll swear?

[@Duskrequim]

Yeah.. a Nissa who Shakes the World.. is such an amazing combo card. I decimated games with my Turn 4 Ultimates with Nissa.. Even in Arena, playing historic.. its a consistent Turn 4 or 5 win usually because most people can not come back from that. Turn 1 Forest + Mana Dork Elf. Turn 2 Forest or in Historic Cascading Cataracts and Cultivate. Turn 3 Forest and Nissa.. Make Forest into a Creature or better.. the Cascading Cataracts into an Indestructible Creature. Turn 4 Cast Planewide Celebration and Ultimate Nissa. ITs so satisfying doing that...

[@kingginger3335]

Nissa Vital Force is way more powerful than people give it credit for. Ive only played her in commander. Most people only use in land decks, but her -3 and Emblem is fantastic for any deck that runs green. Being able to get the emblem the next turn after she hits the field, is very powerful!

[@Blackvolttage]

When your green 5 mana pw makes a 5/5 its quite a chore for people to avoid the ultimate, specially if you can get her out early. I think people often underrate her in commander, but more times than not its just straight up 5 mana tatyova in emblem form.

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

Just because you uploaded this video at 3AM my time doesn't mean that I'm not going to do my damned best to think of a good way to shill for "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"! Although with not a single card here having any vintage points, it's going to be hard to think of something, so instead I'll say that I really appreciate Garruk, Primal Hunter in my Multani, Maro-Sorcerer EDH deck, because drawing 21 cards is *fun!*

[@ThingsDontAlways]

nah. I totally knew nissa shakes the world was gonna be there. the static double mana abiltiy was WAY too broke

[@RaynmanPlays]

White: List of Gideons Blue: List of Jaces Black: List of Lillians Red: List of Chandras Green: List of... a few different planeswalkers

[@brianwalters8641]

Like, no joke, I called the #1 even though shes really new. Just so dang fun to play and game winning.

[@Orcasgt22]

Emergent Ultimatium. Grab Nissa Who Shakes The World, Liliana Dreadhorde General and Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider. Lily+ clex is out of the question. Your opponent loses the game on the spot so you either get Nissa clex and ult, stripping your deck of all its bad draws and winning in a few turns with a stream of 6/6 indestructible lands or Lili/Nissa and losing with those two in play is damn near impossible. Thats my Explorer deck lol

[@FoxMcCloudV2]

The nonloyalty ability of Nissa, Who Shakes the World is a *triggered* ability, not a *static* ability.

[@greatbrandini3967]

Static is being used here colloquially, not in a rules sense. Here, he was using the term to describe the abilities on Planeswalkers that are not loyalty abilities (which I have always heard referred to as being a planeswalker's static ability and I've yet to hear someone say that Saheeli doesn't use the stack)

[@Sulmor85]

In my opinion, cards that have a massive score, but only in standard, are a design fail. It means those cards didn't have an answer in Standard (so everyone played them) and they are unplayable anywhere else (because other formats have proper answers)

[@martintxo14]

Shock?

[@friki1282]

Then, we have the cards that don't have good answers anywhere. Oko, I'm looking at you.

[@plantland7205]

That not always the case with cards that only have standart points. Often they fullfill a specific niche that they are the best for in Standard but are outclassed by other cards in other formats. Or they need really good support to function and the cards that exist to support it just don't cut it in other formats.

[@marpj6138]

I dont think that NWSTW being number one has a surprise to anyone that play standard, she has everywhere, even in our decks. Now while she is the most powerful, and Vital Force is my favorite for EDH (happy to discover that she see play in legacy, but I can see why even at 5 mana) the one that has a special place in my heart is World Waker, that monogreen devotion from Theros-khans still my favorite standard deck and has so fun to play - plus turn 3 Nissa into courser of kruphix (also turn 3) has always beautiful

Hey, Nizzahon do you think you could shave your mustache. i know it is a weird request but i think you could rock the amish type of beard. you can just blow this request off but i thought if i didnt ask you would never have a chance to deny it. aside from the weird request the content is great. you should have more subs my guy.

[@crawdaddy2004]

Ummm, according to your thing, 5-mana Garruk has 45 points with 7 PT top 8’s. Wouldn’t that put him over Nissa and Wildspeaker?

[@Methylimidazol]

Not surprising in the slightest.

[@MakeEmRageQuit]

Please learn how to say Garruk's name properly. WotC has stated that his name is Garruk, and it rhymes with Truck (they literally said it rhymes with truck).

[@NizzahonMagic]

Didn't I say it that way?
