Is skipping a land drop to discard Anger good, though? Now you're playing everything a turn later so that they can attack a turn earlier? It seems like it nets zero to miss a land drop.

Ok, hear me out, Lair of the Hydra has easily become one of my favorite green cards of all time. I was not impressed with it at first, but no card has single handedly won me more games of commander. It easily goes undetected as a land (also making it hard to remove) and fits with greens ramp super well as an X spell. Pesky late game board wipe? No worries, just throw the ton of mana you have (because you’re in green) into a huge hydra that basically has haste to finish things off!

I had a proxied Concordant Crossroads was in my Sythis deck to give haste to infinite tokens, got a japanese copy for $19, very happy to see the reprint.

If people think Yavimaya is significantly worse than Urborg, just remember that Green has creatures and spells that untap FORESTS or have FORESTS tap for additional mana.

Both cards are incredible. I'd argue urborg is slightly better because cabal coffers exists, and rafellos is banned, but it's definitely not significantly worse, especially when you take into consideration you get the added bonus of it being an overrun in your elf tribal deck.

@@crawdaddy2004 don't get me wrong, I don't think they're very far apart at all, I just think black is also marginally more powerful than green in the format in general, which kind of sqays my opinion toward Urborg being slightly better, but it isn't by much. If Urborg is a 10, Yavamaya is a 9.5.

Very true about Teferi! I have gotten Teferai off multiple times in my life! I even copied him once with an extra counter and got 5 turns in 1!

I opened two boxes of Neo-Zendikar. I pulled each dual-land card I could find and have never let them go. Absolutely amazing and as mentioned, is never a dead pick. I have like 5~7 Bala Ged Recoveries and about 3 Valakut Awakenings. That wheel is priceless.

Yavimaya does not let you fetch any land as forest cards. It only changes the land types of lands on the battlefield.

When I was a patron back when I could afford it, I'm so glad I picked Teferi as my card signed by you gentlemen. One of my most prized cards in my whole collection. Edit - by the way, I really like your cat ❤️

Funny you put out this video, I just bought play sets of Marsh flats, Arid Mesa, and Verdant Cata because I decided to check fetch prices and noticed they're the cheapest they've ever been. Amazing time to get these staples.

Nothing on this list surprised me UNTIL Kolaghan's Command at $3.50! I first started playing modern around the time that card was huge so I quickly learned to respect it at like a $15 card, but now I can pick one up for my Obosh edh deck! Thanks nerds!

Phyrexian Altar is a beast of a card. It's a key piece for several lines of play in my Elenda Aristocrats, and it slaps so damn hard every time it's in play. I can see why this thing keeps going back up to the 80-100 range, and I'm very, very glad I was able to pick it up for 15 a few years back. Aside from the obvious choice of Fetches, this is probably THE card in this video that people shouldn't sleep on right now.

My lgs is pretty small and didn't have events for quite a while, so they still have been giving those promos out. I'm glad I got two of the bolas's citadel, now I just need to find the right deck for it.

I am glad I was one of very few folks who saw how good Smothering Tithe was when it came out. I hoarded up a few playsets at $2-$3 each.

Grim hireling is a bomb. Treasure...but also don't forget it doubles as removal. If you snag that in a draft..

I picked up Teferi's Protection Secret lair on the cheap now that it got a reprint. That art is the best. Pick up your MDFC cards now before they leave standard and skyrocket in price.

Someone already said as much but teferi puts a huge target on your back as soon as you play him. Because he reads like a card that says “in 1.5 turn cycles you win the game”, it becomes a 3v1 as soon as he hits the table. For that reason it’s kinda not worth playing, at least in my meta.

I love my teferi he never misses every time I play him early game or late game

Path to exile, swords to plowshares and condemn are my budget removal for white. They are great for the price

Imo one of the best sac outlet in commander is Spawning Pit. It seems underwhelming at first, but thats the point - it flies under the radar, and makes dudes in a pinch. If you have parallel lives out with purphuros it's practically game on board.

planes walkers are slightly frowned upon in commander because the effects of the just okay ones will end up not mattering at all and the good ones can just be shot down by your opponents' creatures

I pulled a phyrexian altar full art foiled. I love it. Also pulled food chain from the same pack lmao.

Teferi master of time is an absolute house. Assuming you play it in the time you should play a planes walker. It’s not one of those ones you play it to get the value once in a turn. The -3 can come up. Slam it down -3 for a problematic creature. They get it back so I guess it’s good if you plan to attack. And get a creature through. BUT. You play it when you have a board or when no one has a board or played early this card is an absolute house in casual. Every turn you loot or prevent a creature from attacking And you get to take extra turn.

Consecrated Sphinx basically wins the game if unanswered. Was finally able to get one of the new reprint

I run 4feri in Yuriko. It either ults, or it draws fire away from Yuriko and I win with her. Also, episodes featuring Amber are the best episodes.

The next nerds video I watched they had compressor mics, and Beezy very sarcastically followed the intro up with: "hope that wasn't too loud". I remember that every time I watch a nerds video. Not because of the shade thrown - which was totally civil and pretty funny - but because of the immediacy with which the nerds listen and respond to their audience.

Counterpoint, in the test run for Numot, I won the game after beating my opponent to death with Anger and a 3/3 Ape Token (I mean, Armageddon and Teferi's Prot helped too obviously, but) :P.

Honorable mention for cEDH players: Imperial Seal. This card is a worse vampiric tutor, but it's still a 1-mana, unconditional tutor. This is the cheapest it's been in the last decade!

Big thing to note on yavimaya: Urborg is actually self sufficient in black due to the many black mana doublers. You don't need a specific card to make it go off, whereas green has like... The one Nissa? I genuinely can't think of anything more because green's Cabal Coffers equivalent is banned. Yavimaya is a cool card. It's worth it at the price.
