MTG Top 10: Flashback | Magic: the Gathering | Episode 166

[@shadowsnake94]

the fact that one of the most famous and widely played MtG cards ever still is behind an artifact removal spell, shows just how outrageously powerful artifacts have been in Magic's history

[@cutecommie]

If there's anything a werewolf hates, it's a collar - especially Avacyn's Collar, the symbol of her church.

[@azureATC]

Extremely upset Chatter of the Squirrel did not make the list. You get two squirrels for one card!

[@tygonmaster]

Flashback: For when playing a broken card once just is not enough.

[@ViashinoWizard]

If there's one thing a Nizzahon loves it's birds- especially River Hoopoe, the symbol of his channel.

[@Lovuschka]

Me before watching the video: "Alright, we know what is number 1." Me while watching the video: "Wait, he is only number 2?"

[@nickbalmes6640]

I was shocked too

[@justanothercommenter5835]

Because Artifacts have always been extremely powerful.

[@johnielawson8832]

I really like it when, if you mention a card that combos well with a featured card, you show it on screen.

[@RasmusVJS]

5:35 Since when is a score of 55 better than a score of 56?

[@cohencoughlin328]

Wait a sec.

[@CGreyL3]

We should give an Honorable mention the Increasing flashback cycle from Dark Ascension

[@Adam_Gunia]

Was hoping to see Increasing Confusion in the list, but oh well, haha. It's still my favorite flashback.

[@elpretender1357]

I got an idea: cards with both, cycling and flashback

[@Lovuschka]

Faithless Looting seems like a HUGE Madness enabler.

[@pawedziedzic3250]

Afaik nobody is really using it to enable madness. The closest it gets to that is probably in BR Hollow One where is dumps returning creatures into graveyard

[@Lovuschka]

@@pawedziedzic3250 I see. Not playing Modern. :-)

[@poyi1013]

Paying for stuff is hard in modern. We cheat stuff into play instead.

[@xaer0knight]

Wild Mongrel was a big thing when Madness was introduced. Most builds used Green and blue with a lot of Threshold or Flashback. Circular Logic, Nimble Mongoose, Aquamoeba, Arrogant Wurm, Careful Study, Roar of the Wurm. Here is a great article on it: www.mtgsalvation.com/articles/16289-a-history-of-ug-madness-and-what-to-expect

[@NightOfCrystals]

In Pauper, Gruul and Temur madness are fringe builds running it. Anynewprovince has a video where he drops two Basking Rootwallas with it turn one, it is bananas

[@jamesmorseman3180]

This list could definitely use an update! Would love to see it

[@Red-yt2dk]

I'm incredibly surprised that Snappy isn't #1.

[@slimyfister]

He has flash my dude

[@Red-yt2dk]

@@slimyfister that didn't prevent him from being #2.

[@blakewilliams8148]

@@Red-yt2dk sooo many powerful flashback cards that Snap, cabal therapy, and faithless looting are in it but not one of them got #1 past in flames didn't even make the list... What a wild world

[@tmakalpha1]

I love how the art of Deep Analysis depicts Masticore

[@hobrev]

Sylvan Might was a fun flashback card (even with the flashback cost being horrendously inefficient) in green decks for a while, with another decent enough flashback card(for its time) in Beast Attack to go along with it, sure a 4/4 on turn 3 is nothing special in a deck that had access to Blastoderm to curve out to but it was still a pretty good flash creature to surprise your opponent with, provided you didnt have anything better to do with your 5 mana :D

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

I've got to flashback to the last video, where I requested top 10 vintage cards!

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

So what you’re saying is he needs to play Bookworm Adventures Deluxe?

[@skizzik121]

Deep Analysis has the best art flavor text combo,The specimen seems to be broken...with a Masticore on the table...so good!'

[@LadyLynxes]

A top 10 Banned list would be sweet to compare how many points cards were able to rack up before getting banned.

[@SR-di7ox]

Jump Start cards might have been added to this list, cause it's almost the same mechanically. Although the only card that might make the list is Chemisters Insight. With it's short time in the game it's safe to assume that it wouldn't make the list

[@housemaster3000]

It may be Friday in your timezone, but this video went up Thursday for me. I'm being told its Friday, but it is not. I'm outraged

[@housemaster3000]

Sarcasm

[@jonathanmellette8541]

I'm not a "Top 10" kind of guy, but I really like your content. I think part of it has to with the fact that you actually mine data so it's not just based on an opinion. Please keep up the good work!

[@NizzahonMagic]

Thanks!

[@PixelWolv]

Yo cabal therapist coming out with horizons lol

[@PoopinaBucket]

Top 10 Slivers please!

[@darkmatter32x]

Ancient grudge. Best jund sideboard for affinity.

[@czajda]

I remember when UR splinter twin played 1x UG and 1x RG dual land for 3 grudges in sideboard. God I miss that deck :-( EDIT: and as 3. color for engineered explosives

[@09Dragonite]

Idk, it is efficient but K Command feels so good when you 2 for 1 so consistently... Then again Ancient Grudge does the same thing, but it only hits Affinity as a 2 for 1.

[@petersmythe6484]

I kind wish and feel like Faithless Looting should have maybe been printed at uncommon.

[@Sodmaster111]

I'm kinda surprised dread return didnt make it. It's the nuts in vintage dredge. Must not have been any good in standard

[@matthewutech5970]

It one of those cards that it was quickly discovered to broken early and banned in extended, then Modern when Modern became a thing.

[@RepresentingRodina]

Where do you get the data for you videos, i.e. the decklists of pro tours and grand prixs from many years ago?

[@Gofan]

Do a video of the cards that have the most points using your sysetem

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

Wooooh, FRIDAY TOP TEN!!!

[@xaer0knight]

Really no love for Battle Screech and Prismatic Strands! I loved running Birds when Onslaught and Odyssey was in Standard/Type 2. They need to put those in Horizons.

[@Ambushw23]

Call of the herd should have made 3/3 elephant tokens with trample, flavor wise it just makes sense a herd of elephant definitely would trample things. They missed on that one, it wouldn’t make it OP but better maybe change the cost to 1gg and the flash back 1ggg so it’s tough for multicolored decks to play. I’ve always wanted there to be a toke generator with flaskback that gave tokens a keyword ability when there’s 3 or more on the field. Say like this one they get trample with 3 one field or make a white card that cost 1w and makes a 2/2 griffin token flash’s back for 1ww when there’s 2 they get +0/+1 and when there’s 3 or more they gain flying. Could do a zombie one that cost BB makes a 2/2 zombie token with flask back for 1bb when there’s 2 that gain Intimidate and when there’s 3 they get undying or persist which ever would make them not to good the flavor of cards like this is awesome. You could do blue merfolk one uu for 2/2 merfolk flash’s back for 1uu with 2 they get +0/+1 and with 3 they get islandwalk. Red one could be 3rr for a 5/5 dragon token with fire breathing or regenerate flash’s back for 4rr they get flying and intimidate. An elf one might look like g make a 1/2 elf token flask back for 1g they +1/+1 and 3 they tap for g or untap target land and maybe go to 4 they get +1/+0 to make them 3/3s. Red goblin one 1r makes 2 1/1 red goblin tokens flash back rr they gain haste, or sacrifice to deal 1 damage to target creature or player. And I’d love to see a multicolored one like 1GW make 2 2/2 human tokens with flashes back for the same 1gw they gain first strike. It’s an interesting idea for token cards or maybe make enchantments to create tokens and the tokens get more powerful the more you get like 2gg for a enchantment you pay gg and make a 1/1 elf token, if there’s 2 they can untap a forest, when there’s 3 they get +1/+1 l, when there’s 4 +1/+0 when attacking maybe or they get trample but sure for 4, at 5 they get +1/+1 again and the enchantment has an activated bail of sacrifice 5 elves to you get an emblem that gives all green creatures +3/+3, trample, first strike, forest walk, and hexproof. That’s be an interesting card or make something like that in maybe a different color one that’s good but not op like playable in modern be good for like a hate bear deck gives them a big bomb win condition make it in non control colors so it’d need to be not black or blue probably green or red they make the most sense but white could be possibly or maybe a multicolored one like rg

[@meatrace]

Ray of Revelation should be in Modern Horizons, IMHO.

[@LunarWingCloud]

Actually surprised Snapcaster Mage wasn't #1

[@johnp2921]

Do top 10 cards. Wanna see what cards have been played the most

[@doarandrei283]

I play only modern/draft rarely stdard and comander.ITS JUST FAITHLES LOOTING

[@cuttlefish6839]

When you dislike something you notice it more and can make you think it's more prevelent than it actually is. I for one like faithless looting but I also hate storm and notice storm a lot more than otherwise and really not many people actually play storm as much as I thought.

[@bladerz1191]

No Past in Flames?!

[@KRCkleini]

I don't know if you maybe already made a video like this, but how about "top 10 reprinted cards"?

[@qua-z5357]

Wat about the black tutor card with flashback

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

You went through Cabal Therapy without even mentioning how its interaction with Veteran Explorer is essentially the central gameplan of Nic Fit? For shame.

[@jakegwolford]

Snapcaster is love. Snapcaster is life.

[@daruffian7811]

Can u make a Top 10 Standart Cards for this rotation?

[@peewee130946]

Think twice probably won’t see play in modern ever again. It use to see play as a way to hold up answers on your opponents turn 2 and 3 and if they didn’t play anything scary you would think twice however every deck is now just playing scary cards on turn 2 and 3

[@NightOfCrystals]

jacob blackman I think it will start getting bigger in Pauper with the banning of Gush though, it’s already a staple of Izzet control there

[@peewee130946]

NightOfCrystals that’s a possibility

[@peewee130946]

NightOfCrystals I still love the card unfortunately modern is just too good for it

[@Bryce4Belle]

I wish I could flashback artifacts.

Past in Flames had less than 33 points?

Yep. 12.

@@NizzahonMagic Seriously? Only 12? It's a key card in Storm which has terrorized Modern for years
