Mtg: Top 25 Guilds of Ravnica Cards!

[@jennapaul8553]

I don't often comment, but when I do, it's to help Dev's metrics

[@Monkeyshaman]

All valid points in a discussion we never would have had were it not for dev having channels or metrics.

[@quietmousse]

Stay Johnny, my friends🍻

[@Monkeyshaman]

@@quietmousse *Wild Johnny* uses *Gently pour shoebox of walking atlases on the floor!* It's super effective! _Wild Johnny ran away! _

[@sirkickassalot123]

are we talking about metrics here?

[@ThinkShink]

There are no metrics about which we are not at least potentially speaking, so to speak. Those metrics may be helpful to Dev.

[@shawl1528]

Thanks for all your effort Dev. You are one of the reasons why I made the jump into Magic a year ago. Keep that quality content coming!

[@macksealand7832]

Loving your pre-release content. Can't wait to see your Guilds deck techs! Thank you for providing us with such quality content! Spread love, bro!

[@MrHuntersnapp]

I'm glad you mentioned experimental frenzy, i was looking for it in the sleeper video and didnt see it. I think its going to be good in Boros actually, where when you get to the mid to late game and run out of gas, to keep hitting dudes or combat tricks. very excited to play that card

[@BlueCrow89]

My list would be very different, but I value your opinion IMMENSELY! Thanks for taking the time! I've been out of magic for a minute due to hard times but I'm glad I decided to jump back in when I did, this set looks INSANE!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PRE-RELEASE!!!!!!!!

[@mattszwejkowski4926]

4:15 what is the reasoning behind discarding a chemister’s insight to jumpstart a chemister’s insight? Isn’t it strictly better to just hard cast the one in your hand? Hard casting the one in your hand will get you the same effect, but leave you with 2 CIs in the graveyard to jumpstart later. Discarding one to jumpstart the other requires you to exile the one in your graveyard, so you will have only have one in your graveyard for future use.

[@13eetle13omber]

Matt Szwejkowski ^ This. Exactly this.

[@13eetle13omber]

StagNelson Work it out with physical cards both ways. You will have the exact same cards on field, in hand, and same mana available. The only difference is you will have 1 or 2 copies of Insight in your graveyard depending on if you cast the one in your hand or the one in your graveyard. There is basically no real reason to ever pitch any jumpstart card to another copy of itself.

[@HevyMetalMay]

Hey the rap intro is back

[@seananderson2195]

I was hoping he would bring them back. I love them myself.

[@aarondeifel6357]

Jt The Red rap intro is best intro

[@joshualudwig31]

that's one of the first things that made me watch his channel:)

[@nickel-bolas951]

The DevRap is the best intro

[@moxavenger]

Ha! Ravnica Rap!

[@SwnkyPenguin]

Been playing Jeskai Control on Arena, just went 7-1 on competitive. Running 1 Ral and 2 Teferi, he definitely helps close out the game and never really feels bad. Clarion and justice Strike are fantastic so far. Also a 2 of Mission Briefing has worked pretty well.. it can Surveil at worst at EoT to clutch some answers to the top.

[@lep5121]

Thank you so much for all the good work you do, IMO you are the most reliable/best source of new mtg info.Watching your videos makes me a better mtg player. Keep it up man

[@kdmcollectables7576]

Really great video. Lots of really good insight. I would like to mention something about "Mission Statement: Doesn't "target" you "choose"". That's MASSIVE. I think maybe you've undervalued just how good it is. Also, you can cast alternative costs as you are not Flashing it back like Snapcaster. Both amazing - Mission Statement is really neat. Also, even if it's "worse" than Snap, that's a mental card, a slightly worse version is still absolutely super :) x

[@blaze556922]

I dig your channel man. Love how you look to your right as though you can see the cards you're discussing too :)

[@rafaelquintanillalopez-man8245]

I'm surprised to see so little dimir on this list, but I think I 100% agree on the list. Nice work!

[@SyriusY]

Mark my words everybody. The best deck there will be in the standard and dominate everything, will be a Teferi, hero of dominaria control counter burn deck - white, blue, red with cards like ionize, deafening clarion, runaway steamkin, seal away, lightning strike, negate, mission briefing, settle the wreckage, Sinister Sabotage etc.

[@last7116]

no

[@CherryDad]

Divine Visitation has good interplay with the 4/4 Selesnya knight that creates two tokens when it dies...it's an on board threat of two 4/4 angels that demands exile removal some other form of not dying

[@aaronmauger661]

Jacob Dammons how about with Emarra or Leonine Warleader (tapped and attacking) in play? or Saproling migration, or Slimefoot, Sai, master thopterist..so many choices!

[@MakaveliGz]

Thanks for the vid, gonna keep it in mind while drafting with the prerelease code, i'd suggest to put the list on the description, would be very very helpful instead remember all 25 lmao

[@bofdar]

It's also important to note you can +2 vraska without scaing a permanent. All hail the mighty "may".

[@harrison1735]

The only time they make walkers whose uptick ability can't be used regardless of boardstate is the PW deck ones or stuff like the Global Series which are made to be bad on purpose.

[@about99ninjas56]

Im playing ub control and beat gb with the vraska emblem out. I think ub control is super strong. Thief of sanity is bananas when protected.

[@Haeze]

Pelt collector sounds like fun in a deck based on +1/+1 counters, especially along with cards that could move the counters off of Pelt Collector onto other creatures.

[@biosteeman]

The realization that Millstone might become a relevant card in standard sideboards. It might prove to be an effective strategy against surveils ability to set up their next draw.

[@ernieb9948]

Music intro! 😎 Inquest reminiscing...😢 I miss it too!

[@donwininger]

thank you for the backing on MEAN GREEN controlling standard to start! i been trying to tell buddies the same and they like the Boros thing, meh. Vine Mare is real and it just smashes face. mix that with the Elf knight and probably the new Pelt collector and deck is about built and smashing in. With all that power throw in a few Ghalta and what deck can keep up? Citywide bust leaves u crying but other wise, ur evasive and either hard to target or ur creatures are bigger than bolts. im leaving to build this deck now!!!!

[@joshlawson8603]

Mono green elves with pelt collector, steel leaf, llanowar, the 2GG elf from Guilds that you draw a card when a creature etb. Like your shirt too.

[@DrHankVenture]

Emmara could pair nicely with a ton of things in a R/G/W deck. The R/G elves from Dominaria, and some nice new cards would make this awesome with mentor.

[@tarekt8427]

lol at the rap intro. your already best mtg channel but that was icing.

[@johngreen1328]

Pelt collector is nuts especially with clan caller and the rest of the elves deck

[@josedelavega7907]

Don't see it growing out of a 2/2 too often in that deck

[@wolfbreacher]

@@josedelavega7907 mono green stompy with it though is where it's at 1 drops 4 llanowar 4 pelt collector 2's 2 druid of the cowl 4 untamed kavu 3's 2-3 wayward swordtooth 1-2 blanchwood armor 4 steel leaf champion 4's 4 vinemare 4 nullhide ferrox 5's 3-4 gigantosaurus 6's 2-3 carnage tyrant And obvious, 2-3 ghalta is just a given That's a rough shell I've been wanting to do for straight out creature shell for mono green, not thinking about any color splashes, which is why blanchwood armor or even talons of wildwood could see use in a green stompy deck, since wildwood is the closest thing to rancor we have, and is insane on things like gigantosaurus.

[@djnewellmit]

On the surface, Pelt Collector is a very powerful elf, but it is probably the worst elf for the elf deck. The only other elf it works well with is Steel Leaf Champion, in which case you could just as easily be playing stompy instead of elves. Otherwise, Pelt Collector maxes out as a 2/2 as mentioned previously. For my elf deck I'd rather have the recently-rotated Narnam Renegade as my additional one-drop creature (after Llanowar Elves of course). If I'm playing Selesnya elves, I'd probably go with Flower // Flourish in place of the Pelt Collector.

[@bananza88]

You are the coolest, most chill dude ever! Oh, and you make awesome Magic the Gathering content too 😊 + 👍👍 way up!

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

This is going to be the dopest standard in a super long time. I think G/W convoke/cities blessing using a knights sub theme. I think counterbolt looks dope too. I was not a believer but I’m converted My last standard deck was frickin Goblin Bidding but I’m coming back for this!

[@Gandhiji87]

I wasn't gone! Congrats to 100 k subscribers next week!

[@PonderingOrbs930]

Thanks for another great video, Dev! You are a really funny and nice guy and you have really good magic ideas. Keep up the good work!

[@belisarius5106]

Pelt Collector has a pretty Innistrad feel to it, besides the elf creature type. I dig it.

[@Scarecrow9black]

Love the video dev. I feel like this time arpund I'll probably just buy a bunch of the singles I want from the set off tcgplayer. Its crazy how some of these dope pieces are 1-3$ right now

[@vze1ruuh]

So, I'm a fan of elves and I like the fact that Pelt Collector is a strictly better Elvish Vanguard AND is modern legal

[@Cogmancer]

Don't forget how well March of the multitudes plays with the divine visitation. Tap a 2/2 to cast a 4/4 flyer.

[@aaroncramer7543]

I am in love with Aurelia. She was in my first sealed pool on mtg arena and she carried me to 7 vicories!

[@nenjarickard]

Runaway Steam-kin and Niv-Mizzet is incredible cards, I pair them with 10 burn spells (incl. Spit flame), dragons hoard, demanding dragon and Bolas. Pump the Steam-kin to 2/2, round 4 fiery cannonade, round 5 Sarkhan and/or demanding dragon or Bolas which could be done with three lands since you have a 4/4 Steam-kin...

[@oldman747]

congrats on the 100k subs. also I am super looking forward to a selesnya / naya token deck. that turn 2 emmara turn 3 venerated loxodon turn 4 march into swinging turn 5 after casting trostani? swing wide swing deep my friends i hope you have that wrath effect turn 4.

[@charlottestewart1851]

love the intro! first video I've seen with that :)

[@PhillipReed77]

I'm dying to see your counter burn deck tech. You've got me excited for it.

[@moisesmela5091]

200+ subscribers and you'll be at 100k Dev. Can't wait.

[@bethmaxwell7834]

You hit 100k! That’s awesome!

Great list as always these are my favorite type of videos :)

[@kamakazi339]

I nay or may not have preordered 5 booster boxes for this set...… a high water mark for me. God I love Ravnica

[@animemaniac2]

That "id" pun got my like.

[@jehansilva9268]

Misthollow Griffin can also return from exile if you use it with Charnel Troll and a sacrifice outlet

[@jackdecker7728]

badass shirt & consistent funny quality got my sub! thanks bro

[@leonard-gq5eh]

If you put Divine Visitaion together with Spirit Bonds (2 drop, whenever nontoken creature enters the battlefield, you may pay one white and create a 1/1 flying spirit) and Raise the Alarm (2 drop, create 2 1/1 creatures onto battlefield) you can make A LOT of damn good angels. Just saying ;) EDIT: If you also put March of the Multitudes in there, it is EVEN better ;)

[@alexanderobreque2894]

This guy's camera makes him look like he is in an old movie like jurassic park (the first one). Its actually nice

[@florinarmaselu3640]

I would like to know what you think about Guildmages' Forum. That land won for me in style. 😃

[@letucan9406]

Great vid, but I would not have rated warboss that high. Its only a 2/2 body that wants to attack otherwise it will only feed the tokens to most twodrops with 2 toughness. It comes out on turn 3 and can attack and get value on turn 4 usually, during that time your opponent most of the time has an answer to block him already. If he had haste, he would be a lot better, since he is really slow for what he wants to do. Sure you can buff him a little or just kill the blocker, but its still just a 2/2 which dies to so many things. But that's my opinion. Keep up the great vids!

[@DeviousPie2]

What would you consider to be the top 5 targeted removal spells of all time across all formats? My list is: 5. Abrupt Decay 4. Nature's Claim 3. Assassin's Trophy 2. Lightning Bolt 1. Swords to Plowshares

[@dylanthatcher4513]

I play a play set of midnight reaper in my B/W knights deck and it’s insane. If you can get multiple out and trade off one of your 1 or two drops you just win the game through card advantage most of the time. Yet people keep telling me to only run two to three 😑

[@mattluz2276]

THE FREUD REFERENCE ON UNMOORED EGO MADE MY DAY!!!

[@jingitaxias8461]

I love swiftblade vindicator but I’m glad I watched this because it is pretty vulnerable.....that being said, I’m still gonna run 4. Now I know I just need to be careful.

[@FlNALBOSS]

I said this in the last video but you neglected to reply. I became a patron because of a stretch goal you listed of actually seeing gameplay of these decks--it's been a long time now and we've still not seen any gameplay.

[@JakeBros3]

Really surprised that Dream Eater isn't on here at all. I don't think it's by any means in the top 20 or so but I do think it should probably be in the top 25-30 somewhere. It is a pretty stacked card.

[@kaisersouzei]

I've made a selesnya, abzan, and mono green decks in arena. I was unable to not include Pelt Collector in all of them. For me, if my deck includes green Pelt collector is 100% going to be in it.

[@dnbjedi]

The cut of it’s jib. 😇 Haven’t heard that phrase since I read master and commander I think!

[@davidsteiner9682]

Cant wait for midnight tomorrow! just under 24 hours away!

[@tonii-chan]

Congrats on 100k dev!

[@mikelong2756]

Oh, divine visitation indeed can get totally ridiculous if you can control the board until you get it out. Dawn of hope, history of benalia, heroic reinforcements, call the calvary, legion warboss, benalish marshal. I had 20 4/4 angels just floating around on arena today just completely toying with my opponent lol. Also they are settle the wreckage proof, shock and bolt proof, they're only tokens, but if they cleansing nova they can't kill all the angels and the divine/dawn of hope so the flock just doesn't end once it's online lol

[@ulti_matt]

Yess the intro is back!

[@sireklz1169]

Almost at 100k subscribers. Woop Woop!

[@sethevans5210]

Metrics: I like the new intro track.

[@cameron3351]

I bet its in the top 10 sleepers video, but im surprised that Risk Factor isnt on the list, and fairly high up the list at that. 3 mana instant speed repeatable burn or draw 3 is insanely good for both modern burn and standard counter burn.

[@michaelmendez3572]

Can aurelia target itself and become a 4/5 with vigilance and trample that puts a counter on a smaller power creature?

[@SBMTG]

Yup

[@georgemargiotis3741]

Yes bcuz she’s red and white

[@grumpfrog8602]

Hey i was wondering how long you usually spend brewing, and where and how you brew, im not a very good deck builder and I'm wanting to try to start after joining the mtg arena beta

[@TheCrazyistone]

I don't comment often but I enjoy all your video's. Question. What's your opinion on march of multitudes in a two headed giant format? Potential to cast ridiculose amounts of tokens?

[@jessemclean3585]

Awesome! Great input thanks Dev!

[@thatguyaric2534]

Do people forget that Chromatic Lantern was reprinted? Why play one deck, when you can play all the best stuff from all the decks. Ya'll might think it's a joke, but I'm just saying 5-color good stuff could be a deck (remember, we have shocks too).

[@TehSeksyManz]

Shocks AND Checks. I agree tho, somebody will definitely create a 5 color monstrosity. It happened in the past with Vivid lands.

[@Kattywagon29]

I would love to see a five color good stuff deck. Sounds ambitious, but fun.

[@harthfire2]

Very little mention of it so far it might just be a good reprint for modern/EDH Mike A "In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might. Beware my power--Chromatic Lantern's light!"

[@sifthegreat4570]

Even just 5 color humans would be good with the cards in standard

[@stephencook8398]

I'm playing a 5 color deck for standard. With the Lantern, circuitous route, and Gift of Paradise it is very very easy to get whatever colors you want.

[@Alexander_Chase22]

Arena is a hot mess so far but Ral feels really good if your deck supports him (im playing grixis ctrl) He's a great answer for Niv which feels even more awesome because of the lore. The deck feels strong but my only concern is between Nicol bolas and Ral you have to draw cards to tick them up not to mention you're forced to draw cards with Ral ultimate. I haven't milled myself yet but gotten close. Any tech ideas? Been pondering enhanced surveillance but not sold on it

[@garrettwilcox6180]

Thief of Sanity was bonkers in the decks i played it in. I really think it will be a part of U/B control.

[@dimebag5884]

The best part about March of the multitudes is it snowballs in a for, of Fibonacci sequence

[@Knuclear]

I was very happy to see the troll on this list. That card looks straight bonkers, even though it does require specific deck building.

[@williamwalton9154]

I hope Quasiduplicate made the list. It is going to see a lot of play in the Simic Deck that will be coming

[@ohno8569]

2 years later.... I still love this set. I don't care that dev got a few cards wrong.

[@zeffizeffizephy7931]

i've been playing nullhide ferox in arena and sometimes it sucks that i cant use my trophy at 2 cmc

[@miguelmanalus4436]

Hope you make a surveil and guildgate deck in the future Thank you

[@cartermo13]

Can anyone help me on what I should get started with and get if I want to get into this game and set.

[@BigPAPApuff420]

I pulled 3 assassins trophy in my box and a chromatic lantern!!! Super stocked about it

[@ikarion81]

Can I cast a sorcery in the opponent's turn with Mission Briefing?

[@nocturnal101ravenous6]

Herald of the Pantheon + Saproling token enchantment(or any other cheap generator) + Divine Visitation are a great synergy in other formats really this makes Green/White Enchantments even more broken AF, I can easily cheap enchants that pump out cheap 1/1 saproling tokens to easily transform to 4/4Angels even worse is pairing this with Elspeth

[@judahburlingame]

I loved the Freud reference!

[@DramatikNote]

Yo what was that fire during the intro over the Wind Scene beat?!?!

[@worf7680]

Weird I was going to recomend putting the rap intro back in and you did!

[@redlion145]

Run away! Excellent reference my wizard. Bunny tribal ftw.

[@tomnajera4906]

That boros 2 mana 2/3 mentor dude is the shiznit dude. Imma smack people up and down all day with that card.

Why would you be talking about Freud in a Sociology class? Lol Shouldn't you be talking about Marx?

[@McStarkiller666]

I miss Inquest gamer loved all the different articles they had covered games like Everquest Ultima Online and LG5R

[@obviouslylee]

Love you Dev!! So happy for you hittin 100k in the next few days!!

[@dannynewton7547]

Knight of Autumn is kolagans command but one of the modes you're forced to choose is a 2/1 body. Seems legit.

[@TehSeksyManz]

Yet another tool for G/W Flicker Walue decks

[@MalcIgg]

Run Away :) Comment fro the Monty Python clip :D - Great Content.

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

Hey, just a thought here,.. what about Frenzied experiment + Zurs Weirding?? That seems pretty busted. The only thing that card needs is a way to play more than one land per turn then it’s just dumb

[@lucasvalenteSNG]

Great video, as always dev!

[@austinwhitbeck3362]

I'm still on the train seeing vraska and slimefoot being a really cool aristocrats deck.

[@darkchiron]

Golgari Saprolings are the real deal. Believe it, and throw some Poison-tip archers in there.

[@shandomassey8634]

OH MY LORD! DEV WITH THE MONTY PYTHON REFRENCE!!!! YOU WIN SIR! YOU WIN! IM ROFL!!!!
