The real question though - how many takes did it take to get it right :P

[@grantmurdock7385]

[@Karthedis]

One of the best things about Ugin's Labyrinth is, that you can literally save your late game bomb from discard. This card is just stupidly powerful.

[@VydeoGramesJunk]

And you can just get it back later! You don't even have to exile it forever. The card is crazy!

[@toolittletoolate]

Makes it a prime Boseiju target, or any of the other land destruction in modern. I'm surprised he didn't mention how Shifting Woodland doesn't even exile the card that it copies so you can do it multiple times if you wiff the first time.

[@chaosky9]

Ugin’s labrinyth will flop calling it now

[@frankcaggiano8282]

​@@chaosky9maybe in modern. Commander crows are going to drool

[@azerim2039]

That is just dumb. They make cards that you don't have to build around or try to offset their weaknesses because everything is already built into the card. A card like Death's Shadow nowadays would have an ability that lets you lose life in some way.

[@Jmetz22]

I've been watching you for over ten years, since I first started playing magic at 13 years old. Thanks for your work and dedication, you need your own legendary card at this point!

how about i make it today?

Yeah well for someone who says they are an english major, the professor mispronounces alot of things in his videos.

"Their parents are Karn and Ajani" Google is onto something.

[@LithmusEarth]

I started this video at 2x speed (from having watched something else prior to), and the "we'll leave it in, we'll leave it in" said so frantically fast was amusing.

[@leo_cactus299]

The card I’m most excited about in this set is definitely Chtonian nightmare. The borderless art is absolutely amazing, the power is definitely there and there are many loops possible !

[@JosefinaAndohumeda]

This'll be my first pre release and sealed event! Excited! Watched every video of yours regarding the matter. In fact I am becoming a Magic player bit by bit and you've been there every step of the way! Thank you, prof! For everything!

[@that1jamo]

Man, you and Plesant Kenobi agree about the best land. It still dies to removal.😏

[@hadex5490]

Love this list. Hope you have a great day Professor Tolarian

[@zach4968]

You're so hilariously flustered by absolutely everything, I love it. Never change

[@CyberBuster93]

The Flare of Faith popping up LOL I see you Prof xD

[@BLByline]

Warren soul trader basically gives every black deck infinite sacrifice on turn 1. Play it with gravecrawler you’ve got repeatable death triggers and ETBs. Add any death trigger or drain effect and it’s an instant combo. Again, easily available on turn 2 in modern or turn 1 in legacy

[@Hyenadont]

Shifting woodlands plus Phage!!! Phaaaaage!!! Green for woodlands and protection spells, black to clear the hand and field from blockers, and with the green free cultivate grazer combo you can turn 3 win

[@CyberBuster93]

Always appreciate your content, insight, and passion! Love you Prof! 🤘❤️

[@maninblk]

Thank you, yet again, Prof and company!

[@deanofcool]

Great video prof. Didn’t expect so many lands on the list, powerful stuff.

[@davidlayton4310]

I do love your videos and energy Prof I hope I can get more of your deck boxes for my custom mtg commander decks. And I hope your doing well and that you find a chase card in your next pulls

[@majestyzx9081]

"Ral Monsoon Mage", "Primal Prayers" , and specifically for commander, " Wumpus Aberration" are some of my favorite cards in MH3

[@kenpatchiramasama1076]

FINALLY WE CAN PLAY 8 WUMPUS IN LEGACY

[@billyhardin7401]

Excited for the what not stream for sure and I avoided spoilers till now and wow these lands seem super strong hope to pull one at prerelease! Thanks for another great video Professor 🎉

Great analysis on what's the best for Modern! I don't play nearly enough Modern (IE none at the moment), but I still keep an eye on things.

[@murilofreire4569]

Great picks! You always come up with amazing interaction

[@Mia-gt8bk]

Since I’m early can yall recommend a budget precon for a beginner

[@filipebotelho3548]

Recently bought some precons... Blame Game was my favorite! Very fair price for a very fun gameplay. Grave Undead and Veloci-RAMP-Tor are also excellent choices.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy980]

If you can find VelociRamptor for ANYWHERE close to RRP that is. 🤣

[@BlazinTre]

If you can get Blood Rites, it's a great vampire tribe deck to start with.

[@lvcsslacker]

I had some good luck with Urza's Iron Alliance personally. not too bad.

[@TheSteve5154]

The dinosaur and the Merfolk deck from Ixalan are both strong out of the box.

[@xxPow3rslave]

professor, you are awesome. your channel gets so many things right, when so many others get things wrong when it comes to running their KZbin channel on mtg content. you're the best

[@mudrahel.philosophovich]

Prof, thank you a lot for this video and your commitment to the game! Great list, good (maybe overpowered)) new mtg cards.

[@austingreen4775]

This whole set is pushing power level up. Looking forward to Modern's rotation. Also looking forward to the Behind the Campus video, cant wait for that!

[@Realletsplaygrey]

Awesome ! I'd love to see a commander version of this video!

[@Flyboy245]

Thanks for giving a highlight reel of the best cards prof. Honestly I didn’t pay a ton of attention to mh3, or any of the most recent sets for that matter. Constant spoiler season takes a toll

[@Eagl3xStrik3]

I bought a box of MW3 because the first 2 sets gave me cards i still use in commander to this day. Its been good to me.

[@thas4250]

I was a bit confused on why you choose flare of cultivation for a spot on this list, but that was a great point about it in yawgmoth, I'm sure yagwmoth would be fine running some abrorial grazers to ramp up real fast, you're right, flare of cultivation seems real strong

[@noneofyourbusiness8239]

I am so excited to get my hands on this

[@michaedove3562]

Hope to see you in Vegas!

[@lostmarble540]

the Flare of Faith joke got a chuckle out of me

[@monopoliz___2856]

I played a guy named Dana in middle school, dude always played blue + white deck. he had that take another turn card and androgynous OG serra angel. I'm a colorless + white player for a couple years but green + red was my jam during the Mirage days

[@taylorpayne1993]

Love your content!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

I appreciate that!

[@ApproachoftheSecondGame]

I was SOOOO hype to see new MDFC's in the set. Super duper playable in EDH

[@cameronmoerer6244]

I'm going to be running Phlage as a 1 of in my Jeskai Control list in modern. It's gonna be great.

[@jurgnobs1308]

the bolt lands are pretty cool.

[@johnblack7554]

Reread Nadu very carefully. Twice per turn in commander is 8 activations per full round PER creature you control. Pairing with something like good ole Nomads en-Kor = 16 cards per full round of turns.

[@rocker1296]

I'm not familiar with the modern meta game, but as long as there's a red aggro deck that runs burn then Flare of Duplication is gonna be absolutely nuts, attack all out leaving your opponent at 6 or less, Lightning bolt, sacrifice one of your creatures to FoD the lightning bolt can be pretty crazy, actually.

[@Xynic.7391]

I NEED those theros boxes. Need to build a cube ❤️

[@wvanhuss4190]

Im so glad phlage made the list. I truly believe it is a very underrated card in both timeless and modern where aggro is a very real strategy

[@Regiris]

That land can become a living planeswalker as well with nesting grounds (also in mh3) by moving a loyalty counter beforehand

[@BubbleOBill]

Would love to see a similar video for pauper! MH sets are the best time in pauper, so many new toys that don't require a 2nd mortgage 😅

[@Hyxtrem]

I agree so much on Phlage, it's underestimated.

[@swisssilverbd2635]

Digging the beard Prof! Keep up the great videos and style!

[@Macattack1023]

I think wirewood symbiote being legal now in modern will be one of the biggest impacts making elfball very good

[@carlsoll]

Woah O.O Shifting woodland was kinda neat

[@marc-antoinegirard2103]

Since you can activate the woodland at instant speed you can activate it in response to an emrakul the aeons torn trigger and have it anihilator 6 your opponent's board

[@NakedBandito247]

Shifting Woodland also can’t really become a copy of a battle (not that it’ll be all that relevant). Rules state “if a siege never had defense counters put on it (perhaps because a permanent became a copy of one), it can’t have its last defense counter removed. It will be put into its owners graveyard. You won’t exile it or cast the other face.” I know battles aren’t popular, but it is a rules consideration to think about

[@perfumecentral]

Demand is what make certain card prices go up, In demandricey cards is not for commander, stick w penny price unpopular cards. With its 100 card singleton, a single powerful card won't do anything or effect a 100 card singleton.

[@joecrooks5103]

flipping the 3 and the 5 with your fingers killed me 🤣

[@gnkstudios6138]

I know most people haven’t even thought of this card as a top card from the set but I really really like Psychic frog. I believe psychic frog will be a staple in legacy reanimator and Esper Goryo. Having an extra low cost threat that gets evasion is really clutch

[@thedicehavespoken6234]

Assuming your price per box when you bought Theros was around $80-90, being up $36 per box is actually a pretty good ROI. (Close to 4% per year)

[@christopherbishop1950]

You should know there has been a leaked production issue with the dual sided land spell cards. A good portion of them got single side flipped, and so instead of having 2 different side, they have the same side twice.

[@jdgarrison9913]

I'm starting to ponder a Phlage Convoke deck.

[@adrianj8370]

The lamp assasination😂🔥

[@dakotakade3547]

Yeah, Nadu's ability is only twice per turn. Except, he gives that ability to each creature. So each creature can trigger that twice per turn. And he can put mana into play directly, untapped. Which lets you play the creatures you draw, so you can draw more cards, so you can play more creatures, so you can draw more cards and get more lands and play more creatures until you don't have a deck anymore and oh, would you look at that. I wonder if there's any win conditions that specifically want you to not have a deck?

[@lockecole3726]

8:11 I like that Urza is Karn and Ajani's child in this timeline.

[@MichaelHayes-yw6mf]

I see you rocking the beard prof it’s a good look 👏

[@henriqueraposo7576]

I caught that flare of faith ;)

[@dragonsigner]

Everyone seems to hate energy in mtg .. That means I like... I can't wait to make some broken energy combo.. I might get the energy commander precon after I finish looking at each and every card to see if I like it enough.. hopefully it's a good energy deck

[@MusicalBoarder]

Buried alive is also in this set. You could buried any number of one of big bois for woodland to turn into

[@bullbobby92]

The total transparency about the Theros packs killed me 😂

[@rinco4866]

I agree except for the first two, ugyn's labyrinth probably stronger, i think that woodland can be a bit too slow for constructed, still top 2 but idk

[@nathanmarcinek2073]

Nadu will be a solid include in the ol' Amonkhube.

[@SnarkyShark1363]

That red double face land that destroys land and gives a weird evasion could be useful and see play.

[@emzuar]

Awesome, I'm gonna look into that Woodland for my deck! Btw, is the whatnot stream giveaways worldwide?

[@MosesSuppose]

Can’t wait to make a simic blink commander deck with Nadu

[@christianhatke477]

Hey Prof, how many cards are there in Magic? Prof: “At LEAST 3.”

Modern is not for Beginners, If you are into Budget go to Pauper Format if you want to gain experience go Standard.

[@ericyang8474]

Blossoming Tortoise will let you mill for lands, let you thin your deck, and allow you to activate Shifting Woodland for 1 less if it sticks. It's 4 mana, but seems like one of the better pairings for Shifting Woodland.

[@tonysmith9905]

In slower casual groups sure. Competitive? Naw, we're activating it turn 3, 4 at the latest.

[@Beckola44]

These 5 cards are really powerful. MH3 has quite a few good cards but the MH3 box prices are too high. Thank you for the video Professor.

[@Shimatzu95]

I belive many commander players will include shifting woodland in decks that ate unlikely to archive delirium. Just think about it, many decks are nowdays build in a way that favors 1 card type and often enough you can substitute (almost) any effect with that cardtype. I forsee it spiking in price rapidly and then falling of once people start playing with it.

[@toolittletoolate]

I'm surprised Basking Broodscale didn't even make honorable mentions since it goes infinite with a ham sandwich but I suppose it's a lot more narrow then, say, turn 4 Omniscience

[@UkuleleProductions]

I really hope you get much of your stuff sold Professor! Really sorry to hear that Theros didn't work out :/

[@cornellblues23]

More mdfc's means cheaper and more accessible mana base for thassa's Oracle/ tainted pact combo

[@benjaminrichard7741]

Shifting Woodland looks so busted and awesome 🤩

[@Erik_Sjostrom]

Ok so what about Sorin of House Markov. Gain 3 life to flip from a 2 mana 1/4 creature with lifelink and when it flips it can remove a creature with the minus 1 and it gains 3 life per turn from the plus 2 making a food and the ultimate I forgot. That card seems really strong in modern because it doesn’t die to lightning bolt and phlage.

[@tonysmith9905]

Oh yeah, totally forgot that bolt and phlage are the only removals in modern.

[@Aigis31]

I think Battles also die to state-based effects, but it's funny that Prof didn't mention them due to how little play they see anywhere lol

[@energy-turtle]
