Murders at Karlov Manor Set Review: Green | Magic: the Gathering Limited

[@littlemrdoom5997]

Me, someone who never plays draft: Oh sweet, He put out a new draft video!

[@shikamaze1489]

I watch these videos to find commander cards kek

[@krisdaschwab912]

It also works for sealed which, other than EDH, is all I play.

[@Shimatzu95]

These are among the best videos you can watch for Pauper Edh as well, because, in my opinion, the powerlevel somewhat reflects draft.

[@bobboberson6664]

I quit magic 3 sets ago, and I still watch :)

[@tomfrost6049]

I dont think I can avoid playing tunnel tipster because that little mole scout looks so damn cute.

[@RowanNagy97]

I know its still not a great card, but clearly the intended gimmick of Rope is that combined with Suspect it makes your creatures unblockable (Can't be blocked by more than one + Menace = unblockable)

[@therealHLY]

I feel like the idea behind rope is to work with the Suspect mechanic too makea creature unblockable, but green itself doesn't really have enough suspect stuff for it to feel like its worth it

[@Pedun42]

I think the effect rope gives is one of the best clue equipments. Yes it makes suspected creatures unblockable but it also makes green's larger than average creatures basically unlikable while attacking save for a combat trick or removal spell. The big downside is the 3 equip cost which makes it pretty clunky.

[@teaganrichichi]

Slime against humanity also checks to see if the set's 1 ooze (the new Vannifar at mythic) is in your graveyard or exile, which doesn't really affect the card evaluation, but is something to consider if you already have Vannifar and see it in a pack

[@frowacki]

After playing with it, Axebane Ferox feels like a total bomb. When it comes out in the early game, it’s rarely removable. When it comes out in late game, it’s a constant threat that requires a bit to interact with.

[@Whiskyandrock]

So sharp-side rookie should really just say: Vigilance, Evolve When this creature evolves, investigate.

[@pedromollo479]

This. They brought back Wither of all things, but were afraid to keyword Evolve on a Ravnica set.

[@aguyyouneverknew]

they didn't use the battalion ability word in the set, and that's the freaking mechanic for R/W. I will never understand wizards' way of making these kinds of decisions @@pedromollo479

[@poiri]

@@aguyyouneverknewmost (all?) the “battalion” cards in the set does not actually have battalion. Battalion requires that creature to be one of the three+ attacking creatures while here you just need to attack with any 3+ creatures.

[@TransformersBoss]

Case of the Locked Hothouse was a big bomb for me. Won every single game where I played it. Ended up getting first at my store’s draft, too! I was in Simic, so drawing cards, playing lands, and ramping wasn’t hard. Getting it online was easy, and then I ran away with the game!

[@EBurstyn]

The “can’t be blocked by more thank one creature” on Rope seems potentially solid if you have a beefcake especially with trample.

[@mrgarneau4895]

A Killer Among Us can be used on any Human, Merfolk or Goblin, not just the token. It can actually do something the turn it comes down

[@NizzahonMagic]

Yep, it can potentially.

[@fohkukohgeki]

gonna be making an Aeve commander deck with Slime Against Humanity in it

[@cwill1090]

Is rope any better since you can equip it to a suspected creature to give it pseudo-unblockable?

[@urtarreviews6484]

I think every 2 mana 2/2 in this format will be better than normal because of disguise

[@alaraplatt8104]

idgi. cuz they trade?

[@urtarreviews6484]

@@alaraplatt8104 because your two drop trades with their three drops. Your bears can trade up more often making them better.

[@JesseWard2015]

Rope seems underrated with how much suspect in the set.

[@NizzahonMagic]

It's not actually in the set that much unless you're Black/Red.

[@killustrator]

Collecting evidence on 'bite down on crime' just makes it 2 generic mana cheaper. I don't see how that in any way impacts its clunkiness. It doesn't change the speed of the spell or anything. In fact, it actually costs you cards in the graveyard now so it may be a larger loss.

[@NizzahonMagic]

Clunkiness refers to mana cost too, so it is definitely less clunky. Still clunky for sure, but less so.

[@JeanValjean875]

If you equip rope to a suspected creature, would that creature be unblockable?

[@JasonOshinko]

yes

[@alaraplatt8104]

if they were gonna do ward: collect evidence, it shouldve been like, an endangered species, or like an esteemed official... like, what is the flavor behind needing to collect evidence in order to target this random big beast

[@DracosDiabolis]

I'm wanting to build around Slime Against Humanity Lol

[@benkentucky4380]

Case of the Locked Hothouse is effectively a 7 mana spell, and that's pretty late for a do nothing card. Love to pull it off tho

[@Jalabhar_Xho]

Pretty doable in constructed formats, tbh

[@memyself3510]

…what is with the art on airtight alibi?

[@kaiseremotion854]

same artist as that one faithless looting probably

well you see, different people's art sometimes looks different. sometimes you got something called "style" or "creative instinct." i think its a cool looking piece im sure it looks pretty striking on the table

[@TheAceOfFire]

4:10, You missed an important bit of Analyze the Pollen! If you collect the evidence, you're no longer limited to searching for a basic land! There are land utility decks that would SWOON for this!

[@AngoDecay]

this is a limited set review

[@stephenb5085]

Undergrowth recon. Man you are missing the main value here. esp with multiple fetch lands. It's not JUST the extra mana, it's the removing the lands from your deck increasing your chances later in the game. ESP on arena where late game one player only draws lands and the other draws spells when arena wants the game to just end based on a hidden timer.

[@NizzahonMagic]

This video is about limited. So, I'm not missing anything.

[@stephenb5085]

​ @NizzahonMagic When you run 17 lands and by turn 5 you now have 8-9 lands left, its a big deal. by turn 6 now you could have as little as 5 lands left in your deck. that's a huge deal when nobody has cards and both players are top decking. ( which happens A LOT in Limited. Its like land tax. The power of land tax isn't only drawing you the lands, its the removing of them from the deck when you don't want to draw any lands.
