The Best Creature of Each Type in Commander

[@mfitkin]

Your shorts are so popular, and rightfully so because they are well done and usually hilarious, but these long form videos blow them out of the water. It’s hard to imagine the amount of effort put into them. It was after I watched your “best card from each set” video that I realized I needed to binge watch your whole channel.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Hopefully this will live up to that first project! Additionally, we'll be shooting for a big project similar to this one for each month now!

[@shivandragon2838]

Each month?! On top of daily content? Thats a lot a value for 1 subscription!

Um, actually whales do NOT blow out water out of their blowholes. Rather they exhale through them when submerged causing a cascade of water to erupt if they are close to the surface. Their exhaled breath is by the way one of the most disgusting smells in the world (that I have experienced) smelling of months old crayfish, shrimp, and plankton. Great vidoe BTW. I really like your long form content so I decided to post this for some great whale fact points as well as a boost in the algorithm. Have a great day!

[@Sonicmaster4]

I love that you included cards that become their tribe and specifically did not allow Changelings to steal the "best of tribe" title, especially when there were only 1 or 2 of any particular creature type. This made the list far more interesting to watch.

Blood Tyrant doing his best Season 3 Firelord Ozai impersonation.

[@waka1834]

This was really good and interesting, my only worry going in was that there would be too much breathing time between types but it’s really tightly edited nice job !

[@corysims4313]

Alright, I can't believe you let Huntmaster of the Fells down like that. That card is THE best werewolf card and should have been legendary.

[@AaronChamberlain88]

The Sponge/Squid/Squirrel/Starfish sequencing was perfect

[@charliepeterson8171]

Where else can you learn such deep EDH knowledge as "caribou are related to the deer family but larger"?

[@NitpickingNerds]

These are CRITICAL facts to bring to your next EDH pickup game

[@abiodunmichaelolatokun2844]

Thank you for this really important contribution to the world of EDH. I found this entertaining and informative. I found myself agreeing with you on almost every pick. I do have an issue with the exclusion of Simian Spirit Guide however. It is one of the most powerful 'fast mana' enablers in decks that can 'hang' at CEDH tables (7,8,9 and 10s) yet it is not included as an honourable mention in the Yargle section (which I understand to be a joke) even though much weaker cards are. In the Ape section you suggest that Kogla, a battlecruiser matters card that barely made a splash in standard, is better than the facilitator of turn 3 ad naus wins. That discourages optimal, sophisticated plays for splashy, inefficient ones that don't win the game.

[@NitpickingNerds]

We don’t include cEDH when we grade or judge cards. Cards good in cEDH often are not good in an average deck. That being said Simian Spirit Guide is a solid card in cEDH decks. 😊

[@zimoy.701]

Well Commander is kind of all about splashy, inefficient plays that don't win the game...

[@murpl1462]

where’s grave titan in your honorable mentions for best giants? :) he deserves better than what he gets

[@Insane8221]

Great video! I really appreciate all the work involved in creating it. Very entertaining AND informative? Should have a ... PBS show or something lol

[@NitpickingNerds]

Children hate Beezy lol 😂

[@marmaladd1906]

Can't wait to see what the best brushwagg is.

[@NitpickingNerds]

No spoilers!

[@jeffreylong1478]

This is an impressive video and I appreciate the work that you put into it. If I could offer a suggestion though, it may be more digestible to break the video into smaller videos each going over a few letters, like volumes of an actual encyclopedia, instead of one long video. I doubt the second half of this video will get as much attention but the whole thing is worth watching. Just my 2 cents. Good job though

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thank you for the feedback and kind words

[@GoonTunez97]

I can't be the only one watching this for Volo, Guide to Monsters EDH tips right?

[@altermann1991]

Ok the fact that sponge, squid, squirrel and starfish are all next to each other in alphabetical order is pretty hilarious, now I'm just waiting for the spongebob set xD.

[@OnlineAlbatross]

Homarid Spawning Bed is a key piece in my esper aristocrats deck, definitely won me a few games

[@CunningLingu1st]

29:10 If we’re including banned Commanders, I’d argue Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary is the basic land matters equivalent of Gaea’s Cradle on a body.

[@rando1090]

Thank you for that storm crow honorable mention haha

[@jankpilediver3863]

Guys, is this choise of background music some high level trolling of commanders quarters? well nice job there combining that with 1,5 h of content :D:D:D

[@NitpickingNerds]

No trolling at all why do you ask?

[@jankpilediver3863]

@@NitpickingNerds oh it's just the music that gets to me every time I try to watch one of his videos :D and so I thought, you might have been onto something here; but apparently I am mistaken. great video (+efford) again. thx

[@HootNBerries]

Amazing Video! RIP Slimefoot for best Fungus 🥺

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thank you!!

[@BeauregardBlakk]

Pay attention, Volo, Guide to Monsters commander players. That list helps you choose the best from every creature type!

[@Beybladeextreme]

just curious why it is said that there are only 5 wurms made when there are way more than 5. I made a mono green wurm tribal commander deck using a large amount of them.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Just a mistake, the real number is way higher!

[@stevenh4314]

how is voidwalker not the best dauthi? Edit: got it, you didn't include mh2

[@thewarriorofboros]

1:10:20 satyrs are in fact ESPECIALLY ready for, as you describe it, "that kind" of pleasure, that's kinda their thing

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Clerics are my favorite. LOL Whenever I see Monk as a creature type I am like you should have been a Cleric. I am surprised no mention of how recently WOTC has branched out the Cleric colour pie; Clerics were once only White or Black now they have all colours. I recently remade my EDH Cleric deck to Include Toggo (and red clerics) as one of the commanders because thematically Clerics throwing stones at my enemies is hilarious :P

[@NitpickingNerds]

Just throw rocks!

[@samuelbemis8304]

Now that Volo was previewed from Commander legends 2 this is more informative then ever

[@PeliPelaaja]

Should have made this GU color identity only so it could be used as a Volo building guide.

[@NitpickingNerds]

It still can but we thought of that after he was spoiled lol

[@ChtulhuFathgn]

Insane value, super job guys!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@elil7945]

Azezon actually makes sand warrior tokens, which is still mostly irrelevant but does mean that it potentially does something in warrior decks

[@NitpickingNerds]

That’s hot

[@Xepher217]

Painters Servant was unbanned at the same time Iona was banned. That is the reason for it being unbanned. They tried to stop the iona/servant combo.

[@NitpickingNerds]

The combo seems ok but not broken

[@sebastianbaron6997]

we're still waiting for the reveal that the almighty brushwagg actually is a powerful planeswalker rivaling urza together with the entire gatewatch, all the eldrazi, nicol bolas + underlings and all of phyrexia

[@laytonjr6601]

Poison-Tip Archer is the best archer because he was the best card of my first deck, as he was in the booster packs included with the precon standart deck.

[@kingginger3335]

I cant wait to see what the best Cat is. I'm sure you gonna pick Arahbo or Mirri

[@JadeHex]

Wavebreak Hippocamp is a meh fish, but a FANTASTIC Horse

[@NitpickingNerds]

Exactly this guy gets it!

[@SignatureSpellBomb]

Loved and shared this! Yehii is my fav!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thank you!!

[@Kitten_Cacophony]

I appreciate you using Anowon, the Ruin Sage's art for the Shaman section, he may not be that good but Anowon was my screen name for the longest time so it just makes me nostalgic.

[@teknyte-1]

Might be a good idea to revisit this idea next year after so many new creature types are getting added from edh and secret lairs

[@erikohman2294]

I really liked this. So freakin ambitious. Also I know it to be objectivly correct, since I agreed with so much of it.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Why thank you😂

[@7uxedomask]

This is such a gun video ^_^ thank you for giving me something to listen to while i clean my house!!!

[@KevinYuMusic1]

Species specialist will be watching with interest

[@NitpickingNerds]

Get your paper and pen buddy

[@NitpickingNerds]

He's a big jerk!

[@KevinYuMusic1]

I was wrong…Beezy was the species specialist all along

[@RecoveringSpartan]

Awesome vid. Melek actually reveals the top card so no secret tech to repeatably look at the top card haha

[@NitpickingNerds]

Oh yeah oops

[@SickOfItAll1988]

finally a video that's not to short

[@NitpickingNerds]

We do long form videos every week lol

[@SickOfItAll1988]

not long enough!

[@colinjones5379]

I once won a game with by swinging in for two with Bouncing Beebles. That poor Breya deck never saw it coming.
