"Kappa Cannoneer is a sleeper" lol

[@GoldSabertooth]

Kappa Can is a Legacy staple. Card is NUTS

[@taoshobbit]

I'm glad someone else said that. I thought I was going crazy that this card was already out and cracked.

[@professorpantherhardraad3921]

Nadu gives each creature that ability that can trigger twice. Twice per creature.

[@fatpad00]

Oh shit, I didn't process that! Makes more sense why people were talking about it so much

[@socalxninja259]

kappa cannoneer is a reprint from one of the kamigawa commander decks. wonder why they wanted it in the modern card pool 11:53 😊

[@Ngschto]

It's played in Legacy

[@toninientied9314]

Kappa is a reprint from a commander product.

[@lichdust]

sees play in a cedh deck or two as a combo piece

[@loremaster6828]

I have that deck its awesome

[@TraphouseTCG]

It’s from Neon Dynasty

[@Gomjabbar78]

Yo Dev, long time watcher (since the before times)...I'm a pretty dedicated Golgari/Graveyard tech player and dip into Orzhoz colors too. I really appreciate that your an Orzhov playa. Big respect to you for who you are and what you do. Spread love and be kind. :)

[@bojuka_bob]

The crab puns were amazing

[@matthewbutler7681]

The way Nadu is worded, each creature you control can trigger that ability twice. I think 😮

[@philcoats6812]

Correct

[@grimtrix]

Another pretty important difference between Reoccurring Nightmare and Chthonian Nightmare... Getting the 3 energy is actually a bad thing because now it gives your opponent something to respond to... meaning they can Disenchant it. With Reoccurring, if you play it and use it right away, your opponent never actually gets a chance to kill it because the return part is a part of the cost for using it.

[@mawtaus]

I like that Charitable Levy is realistically not dangerous enough for people to bother using targeted removal to deal with it, so it's very likely to do its thing.

[@shadowseek27]

Recruiter of the guard is a reprint btw

[@fatpad00]

Yeah, Dev keeps missing the watermarks on the reprints. "I think this is from judgement" Card: *has judgement watermark*

[@obadijahparks]

2:48 Emrakul's messenger in the sheoldred dimir forced draw decks.

[@DadsDrafts]

Awesome review yet again. I think that the Entrancing Fleshwarper could really hit hard during limited, especially 2hg. It's not only once each turn, and playing anything colourless will already do 2 damage.. 4 even in 2hg.

[@bonkyrogers5828]

turns out those reprints have a set watermark. almost missed it myself

[@obadijahparks]

I want three more colored versions of kappa cannoneer that make up the other turtles. TMNT! Give them each usable abilities.

[@mikeyp266]

There is a green one

[@matthewbutler7681]

Kappa cannoneer is a reprint and it was always slept on

[@dyne313]

It says "Flip a Coin" so I instinctively love it.

[@themistocles5484]

Kappa cannoneer is cracked in vintage cube, that thing comes down early with a good draw and 2 shots people

[@obadijahparks]

33:07 you draw thay many cards... as in immediately...... easy wins with sheoldred.

[@paulszki]

Solem Simulacrum into Crabomination seems like a solid playline in casual edh.

[@jameyfarmer5294]

Ripples of undeath is great in the fact that it gives you the opportunity to find the option you need for the gamestate on the board. Its gonna be a powerhouse if i had to make a prediction. i mean its a free look at the top three every turn plus your draw

[@paulszki]

Considering that Tolarian Academy is busted (and banned), Arch of Innovation should not be underestimated even if it's heavily watered down. Even at just 1 extra mana produced, you'll have to compare it to a card like Ancient Tomb. Skullclamp, jitte and other s-tier equipment, treasuress (don't sac, just tap) and other strong utility artifacts lie Aether Spellbombor 0/1-mana artifact-cantrips like Arcums Astrolabe just turn this card on no problem. Even if you're only net positive with 1 extra mana, because you have tappable 3 artifacts in play, what was the opportunity cost here? Playing a land that maybe enters play tapped if you didn't have an island? It's basically Ancient Tomb with a lower floor and higher ceiling.

[@sifuculreif6448]

If you have Aether Revolt on the field with Chthonian Nightmare and a single 1-3 drop creature, 8 mana deals 20 burn damage (5 at a time).

[@bcw1nc865]

I kinda prefer box mode for the slideshows tbh

[@oakherder17]

yes same, i want to look at the card on my big tv XD

[@paulszki]

Herigast is basically Eldrazi/fat colorlorss Ritual. Play stuff, ermerge Herigast for 2-4 mana. exile hand to draw more cards (or don't), then immediately play something else emerging from Herigast itself. Like, it's not hard to do: turn1-2: ramp turn 3: play etb-value creature (eg. Solemn Simulacrum, Summoner's Egg etc.) turn 4: emerge herigast from sad robot. immediately emerge 8-10 mana eldrazi titan from herigast

[@Optimator7]

20:27 Wheel of Fortune is far from necessary now. Red has gotten a ton of card-advantage cards over the last five years. There was a time where WoF was one of the only options, but those days are over.

[@Beckola44]

I appreciate you sharing these MH3 previews. Some of these cards are good while the others are really mediocre at best. Thank you for the video.

[@JukesMcGee]

entrancing fleshwarper is a mythic uncommon. people don't even know how strong this card is gonna be.

[@benistoneman9737]

Hell yeah Kudo should be a rare. It is a world effect. It is a humility on a stick. Probably so use to seeing new age one sided magic overlook it affects creatures on both side of the board.

[@JasonOshinko]

Kudo doesn't take away abilities like Humility does.

[@benistoneman9737]

@@JasonOshinko correct. More to the point of a world effect

[@lordstrogar2721]

Laundry boy here. Needed Dev to help.

[@joshhudson9839]

Knowing kappas track record in legacy I feel like it's probably too good for modern. They're really playing with fire by putting it in here,

[@obadijahparks]

I just did the dishes..... now I can focus on your eyebrows Dev!.... ON YOUR EYEBROWS!

[@Chaoslorden]

I, a gentleman of finer arts, consume your entertainment while folding laundry and doing dishes. Or also while eating. This is the way.

[@useridkilla3698]

Im happy seeing any amount of your body. Checked the hot takes vid too. Some spicy stuff over there.

[@tonyyates2700]

The bear makes everything 2/2 even opponents creatures!

[@fatpad00]

It's a limited bomb if you build around the eldrazi scions. It's basically an anthem that de-buffs your opponents creatures. Come to think about it, it is super strong if you are heavy into actual anthems or counters to break symmetry

[@tonyyates2700]

@@fatpad00 or all your opponents creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

🃏💥 The hybrid Blood Moon/Winter Orb is a game changer!

[@jameyfarmer5294]

Nadu rotpriest is gonna see some kind of play in modern

[@OneSet84]

Am I crazy for being most excited about NADU???

[@philcoats6812]

Nah dude

[@paulszki]

it read completely busted, until the "two times per turn" and now it's "only" really really strong. Lightning greaves and two guys out? That's two free activations. At mana activation we still have swiftfoot boots and skullclamp. The important part is that these cards are still really good by themselves. But sure, you can also just play janky stuff like "Rhystic DELUGE". With your commander out, this is just U: draw a card. And it can be activated on opponents turns. Really useless without the commander but still awesome: Unnatural selection. 2 mana blue enchantment, 1 colorless activation.

[@TerribadAthlete]

Kudo appears to be Ayula’s counterpart and would make her fight ability way better

[@thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688]

My first (and biggest) MTG regret is trading a copy of Necropotence to a friend after Iconic Masters draft because my noob brain didn't understand the power or how I would grow to accept hate cards.

[@danielgraves13]

i dont know about modern, but Kappa Cannoneer would pair quite nicely with Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge

[@louisharris5338]

pizza combos are the best combos

[@Chaconcito96]

When was emrakul on a plane with faeries? is this a hint that Em is coming back? to Lorwyn maybe?

[@MrMartinSchou]

3:50 - "who cares [if it's Modern playable]?" Yes ... let's make a set called MODERN Horizons and not care if the cards are Modern playable.

[@highlander7462]

How do you not recognize Blastoise?

[@brooksbeastbrooks]

Nadu triggers off of an equipment equipping to it, right? Since equip is a activated ability?

[@starmanda88]

Yea that’s my understanding as well

[@dyne313]

Phyrexian Tower is only "busted" in the decks that want it. A truly busted card would be busted in almost every deck.

[@mantissaPuc]

Nadu's "twice per turn" restriction apply to each creture independently, right?🤔 ... So if you have a 0 mana activated ability that target (nomad's en kor for example) you can "draw" twice the number of creatures you control... each turn 😮😮 (and can even do it once before any creature could be killed!!)

[@fatpad00]

Lightning greaves: so anyway, I start blastin

[@mantissaPuc]

@@fatpad00 but equip is not instant speed :-( opponent can kill it before you can get the second trigger or even the first one if there are some ETB trigger... But without a reaction works the same :-)

[@germanyjones2700]

You my spirit animal dev

[@thefreshproduce]

Birthing Ritual is VERY good.

[@itknxero6518]

Dev in a box!

[@c_nrad]

When do treasures get powercrept so they can add colorless mana?

[@moocowp4970]

I feel like Nulldrifter having a cast trigger makes it a worse Mulldrifter tbh. At first I was excited to have two Mulldrifters in my Sefris deck, but then realised that it was a cast trigger, so cheating your 7mana card in, or reanimating it (in Sefris's case) after you've played it for the cheap mode, isn't really a good play anymore. Sure, Annihilator is great, but I don't think it's good enough. And noone can afford to spend 7 mana for it right?

[@Cobracon7]

I'm just here for Ziggy...

[@bsmith8166]

Whats the difference between adapt and monstrosity?

[@oakherder17]

I’m not doing anything else while watching but don’t care about the box!

[@GoldSabertooth]

Oko, Uro, Nadu. Nadu is broken

[@dyne313]

3+2 does not equal 6 Dev.

[@roshandala]

Nadu is going to break several formats IMO

[@davidboost22]

❤

[@philcoats6812]

Mulldrifter sees some modern play in reanimator, plays well with Persist and Ephemerate.

[@LMGB2309]

Kudo plus old Elesh = no creatures for anyone else

[@jgicantfindaname]

Recruiter of the guard is a reprint as well.

[@Optimator7]

Nadu is such a busted card

[@RtheDoost]

9:31 Fair Bear Stares!
