Can't wait for the upcoming videos for each of the 27 color combos individually! Infinite content!

[@DHDaegor]

10:24 - Just so people know, if you cast Mana Drain on a spell that can't be countered, Mana Drain still resolves and you will still get the mana on your next main phase. The mana is not contingent on successfully countering the spell. i.e. a spell that can't be countered is not an illegal target for a counterspell, so it doesn't fizzle.

[@diggerdog9205]

Wow! Never realized

[@arturstasienko2234]

One ring is also a legendary spell for delighted hailing.

[@Lucas-alt-]

Congrats to Bowmaster for appearing in 5 episodes in a row👑

[@skylarthoma5353]

Did yall forget Birthing Pod and Vivien? Dylan mentioned it during Delighted Halfling, and I’m pretty sure he thinks they don’t suck 😂

[@jacob510]

Not that it makes Finale worse, I've seen too many people dump a million mana into it, swing out thinking it gives trample just to realize people can chump their creatures

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

OOF! Yeah, just gives haste, not trample, gotta play the rest of your creatures with your infinite mana first!

[@joshholmes1372]

Gotta have a trampler to fetch with it...

[@damo9961]

@@joshholmes1372 Yeah because a trampler to take out one player is exactly what you want to be tutoring for. My vanilla trampler sure is good in this limited format.

[@jasonlevesque6340]

​@damo9961 Ideally you can tutor for Cratorhoof. That's probably the most found card with Finale.

[@jacob510]

@@jasonlevesque6340 not in cEDH, at least not in one I've been in or seen. But hoof would be a decent target otherwise

You should do a video where you rank all the fives (and sixes) from each of the ranking videos against each other

[@lits2722]

I know a lot of people dont think legolas's quick reflexes is good enough in najeela, because you have access to counterspells, but after playtesting it a ton its an auto include in that deck for me. The uninteractable protection is so good, alongside taking extra combat steps to remove multiple things. I've also looped it with underworld breach and dorks with 1 power to kill stax creatures to go off. It has never felt dead to me but to each their own!

[@man_zeus3817]

For Bloom Tender it is ESSENTIAL in Sisay which is definitely one of the TOP decks currently in the format. I think that alone should push it over the Mana Dorks at minimum.

[@jessepurdy6950]

Yeah I play it in my Tayam deck and its very good.

[@Revival_JamZ]

and derevi, najeela and likely most decks that have wubrg activation costs

[@B1gLupu]

@@Revival_JamZ Najeela doesn't want it since you activate only if you have infinites and you can do that already with Druid's Repository, Grim Hireling and Derevi

[@ubberJakerz]

I swear Sylvan Library is underrated... I know it's rough when it feels like you're constantly seeing the same cards with the ability, but that's why you use deck shufflers strategically like fetch lands and such.

[@BudgetPubStomper-lr7nh]

It totally is. In a faster deck that has no ways to abuse the one ring I would play library over the ring I think.. well, I did actually in my Malcolm Tana list.

[@OceansTempest]

You guys are my fav content creators by far 👊🏼

[@CarmenPontello-xu6th]

Dude I just had that Vivian scenario the other day. Atraxa had a force of neg for it but I casted it with halfling. So good

[@iman132394]

If someone drops a mystical elf from yugioh and claims its a mana dork, we might have a problem.

Holy shit, Cam got First Sliver Food Chain right first time! Nice work.

[@aRFav713]

Sylvan Library is the OG for me, and while it's definitely gotten outclassed, it's still in every deck I play. I wish Green would get some sort of card advantage engine in the form of "Whenever a player does ___, you may draw a card." (not Runic Armasaur).

[@FishyKoi]

Agreed that green is the weakest color in cEDH right now.

[@oscarperezcame]

Sadly, that's true

[@alainlamour5868]

There are some things that green does that are under utilized imo. The ability to make your spells uncounterable should probably be more explored in cEDH. Cards like vexing shusher, destiny spinner and veil of summer can win you games similarly to grand Abolisher

[@sammead7911]

I have such a surface level understanding of Magic, and so much of this goes over my head, but I really enjoy this show

[@sapowok8992]

Cool video guys love your content. So now we waiting on the best cards for CEDH that are colorless?

[@GOOMBAHx]

FINALLYYYYY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

[@Josephhof]

Me playing lathril watching this deck, but the reference of use for these cards is never a green focused deck lol, Sick video! loved learning some new cards to add to my commander

[@Bafflementation]

I'd have included Survival of the Fittest in the discussion, it's still a card that wins the game if it stays in play for a round or so.

[@hydra1259]

Bloom tender combo-ing with Kenrith is really nice

[@hydra1259]

Also kenny’s +1 counter ability helps deal with bowmasters

[@midnalight6419]

Library is still a good rate. Yeah it sucks the first turn, but by the second turn, 2 mana for 3-4 cards is very good And by the time it's 6 it's faster than one ring draws

[@ghost64626]

I know it's more of a meme deck right now, but Seedborn Muse is NUTS in Kadena morphs. She plays as many ways to cast creatures at flash speed as possible

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

I've heard this deck might actually be something

[@ghost64626]

@@PlaytoWinMTG it won a tournament recently. However, a major factor is most likely the "new deck what do" thing. Similar to Slicer and Liberator

[@Mana_Cryptid]

I’ve been waiting WEEKS for the green video let’s gooooo

[@towelociraptor]

Idk I think mystical elf would be a great card in cedh. It has 0 mana cost and is an 800/2000 because it's from Yu-Gi-Oh 😂

[@hamburg2488]

😂😂😂

[@fitnesshunter6302]

It also has haste as long on its not your first turn and your going first!

[@taylorchamplin379]

I’m still pretty high on sylvan. It makes the cut in my kenrith list. I run mastermind, ledger shredder, and sylvan as card advantage 2 drops. I’ve found that sylvan outperforms archivist of oghma on average so I run it instead. I try and optimize so I have turn 1 or 2 card advantage in every hand. Also delighted halfling is a dud for Kenrith. Your etali example is peak halfling value but a lot of decks are starved for color pips and I just don’t think summoning sick colorless is good when a lot of the most powerful cards aren’t legendary. It got the cut.

[@Tryc3]

Thank you guys

[@peteryankowsky]

The one that lets my homie stay in the US is my favorite.

[@Vagrantlol]

delighted halfing giving your One Ring uncounterable is also a pretty strong bit of utility, people don't counter it often but I'd still say it happens enough to keep in mind.

[@koreyg8552]

Green is still top tier if your deck can utilize all those creature tutors straight into battlefield to win. It’s what makes thrasio decks so good. People are sleeping on green

[@rhapidz_9910]

In all honesty I play sliver overlord, and I wouldn’t consider my deck a cEDH but more of a high power and I can say that seedborn muse is something that has helped me so much and is very useful, great video by the way guys have learned a lot from you all!!

[@rhapidz_9910]

I’m a few months into magic and again I’ve learned a lot from you all and from both of you if you all had any tips to be a better control player and even a better way to pilot the deck I’d really appreciate it!!

[@Dafins100]

You guys need more Sisay players in your life. It’s the one deck where you consistently miss cards for.

[@sampete4638]

For the Invasion of Ikoria negatives, not getting grand abolisher was one, but are you able to get the new Kutzil card to get a similar effect??

[@salomdi]

The 1 mana dorks were mentioned, but not utopia sprawl or wild growth, which can go mana neutral on the turn you play them. Are they notably worse than the dorks thanks to feeding dockside or the restrictions on them?

[@nickschmucker8836]

As a mono-green player (Marwyn) I find it funny all of the places where I disagree with this list. I think this list is pretty accurate for overall cEDH but it differs wildly from how I would rate cards for my deck

[@krasimirpetrov1534]

Bloom Tender is one of the most important cards in sisay which is arguably one of the more popular and strong decks right now in the meta, but the card is otherwise unplayable in other decks

[@jessepurdy6950]

Its still strong and worth playing in Tayam.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

@@jessepurdy6950 facts.

[@mgmed0368]

I like bloom tender as a combo piece in rocco

[@Remedy_X]

I play Kinnan and noxious revival has been really good in response to my brothers fetch land I put Savian's reclamation on top of his library ibknow it's not the main use but it comes up more than u would think but sometimes the person using it doesn't think about it that way

[@supermassivi1995]

100% on the dorks, I'm not playing the green dorks that only generate 1 color in my Rocco deck cuz of bowmasters, the dorks that are in the deck still are able to generate more colors like Birds and Arbor Elf(added benefit that I'm playing Yavimaya), have extra utility like Delighted Halfling or can generate more mana like Bloom Tender, Fae-burrow and Orcish Lumberjack

[@jonathonskogman8337]

I also recently replaced my collector ouphe for manglehorn in my gitrog deck.

[@arrivtuber]

I remember when I was able to play collector ouphe turn 1 off my gem stone caverns and thought with my dorks I'm gonna be able to get so far ahead. 6 turns later all my dorks were wiped and I was sitting there with sisay 23 treasures and an ouphe. The entire table was actually keeping him alive against everything I did to try and get rid of him. I cut him afterwards

[@Rondez]

1:20 What do you think can be done to make using mana dorks more efficient in low-color green decks?

[@dasfabelwesen]

noxious revival has been such good interaction for me, while being great as recursion at the same time. In my opinion it is on the level of mental misstep. Worldly tutor however is just good enough for me when it can find dockside. I would put it under bloomtender.

[@alanschellenberger9356]

For what it's worth, bloom tender is absolutely a staple for Sisay and that deck is really strong right now

[@Jhihadi]

I love invasion of ikoria in my yarok deck. Finding two combopieces for just one cost is insane

[@saintvivecwarpoet]

Some decks do like a mana source that can also punch people, dorks are still great. Can't draw Tymna cards off of an arcane signet.

[@jonathonskogman8337]

I have flipped invasion of ikoria in my gitrog deck many times.

[@skullkrusher-dx4kg]

In kenrith you always have somewhere to put the mana if you dont want to cast any spells.

[@aaronwindham6065]

Do you think you guys could do an artifact and a land version? I guess colorless would do too, but it would pretty much be artifacts

[@rcalebvines]

holiday world shirt sighting! going this summer

[@njmaloney25]

Huh never thought about it but veil of summer turns off ward costs for you for the turn as well

[@hellproof2379]

Ever think about how your scale is really a 0-50 you just throw a decimal in lol.

[@BVBridesifyer]

I mean with that logic yeah, every number is just another number divisible or multiplied by 10

[@Xyvre]

Unironically Legolas's quick reflexes is great in Najeela. The two biggest problems she has is getting removed, and your opponents all having creatures to stop you from snowballing. It just handles both really well. I'm not saying it's a staple, but I think it at least has a home in one of the top decks.

[@lukaskramer1121]

What do you think about force of vigor?

[@johngioia2813]

You guys gonna do best multi color spells? Colorless/artifact? Lands?

[@learntolikeit]

Aphetto Alchemist + Legolas's Quick Reflexes and you can ping all the creatures to death on the board that you can target.

[@heboriklehkoruky9218]

How?🤔

[@learntolikeit]

@@heboriklehkoruky9218 You target the untap ability to aphetto itself as you tap it and since it becomes tapped it deals 1 damage to target creature. You repeat this process until you ping everything off the board you want. This of course you need 1 turn cycle with aphetto onboard due to summon sickness and since it gains hexproof nobody can remove the creature with target removal.

[@fosterdawson7339]

​@@heboriklehkoruky9218alchemist can untap itself with its tap effect, and quick reflexes has the creature deal its power in damage whenever it's tapped to a creature

[@jasonandrews1770]

Greens biggest problem is that all their play styles play through creatures and combat wins, which having to play on board is just so much weaker than spellslinging

[@obsidiansiriusblackheart]

Please do a podcast series of "win cons per colour" eg that On The Hunt planeswalker, how do you win with that??

[@ChuggaChoo]

Legolas' Quick Reflexes fits perfectly in Codie

[@sambrown9475]

Eldritch Evolution is one of my favorite cards in marwyn. But Orcish bowmasters has been rough on my girl😅

[@hugi_tout]

Good break down, not sure about Eldritch Evolution being that high as having a creature to sac is an inherent cost (you said as much for crop rot). No GSZ or Sylvan Tutor rating 😢

[@koreyg8552]

If evolution resolves you pretty much win the game 99% of the time because you should be sacking your commander for horror

[@psythe6095]

Also not that it comes up a lot but if you flip etali and flip battle of ikoria it’s a one shot because of the poison counters. I have actually killed someone this way it was pretty funny

[@FALL3NW0RLD]

Legolas's Quick Reflexes home is Marwyn

[@slimeproject2868]

I really wanna see you guys try Berserk in a deck, I still think it's underrated.

[@eastonbranson5585]

Although i do run into bowmaster as a kinnan pilot i feel like it feels just as bad to be feeding dockside or running into a collector ouphe so they might be judging dorks a little harshly

[@sharkmanyt4431]

You guys gonna do best colorless cards?

[@BudgetPubStomper-lr7nh]

Yo! I haven’t watched this since yesterday and it only just occurred to me so maybe I’m wrong??? Did you forget about Survival of the Fittest? I would have that on my list of top 10 green cards for sure. What about Birthing pod? Maybe worth a mention. Selvala is a little bit niche but, I mean she’s a little niche but she’s completely busted in the decks that want her and likely the colors best commander. Maybe I just need to watch again., I’m going to. Surely you would have had Survival of the fittest somewhere in the discussion? Unless you simply forgot 🤷‍♂️ It happens.. Namaste homies 🖖
