It is worth noting at 4:03 that Spreading Seas is especially nasty against Urza's Saga because making it an Island still lets it stay a Saga and taking away its abilities makes it so that it technically has more lore counters than it has chapters (it keeps the counters but now has 0 chapters), forcing its controller to sac it. Basically, against an Urza's Saga Spreading Seas becomes 2 mana land destruction that cantrips. Nasty tech indeed

I did *NOT* expect Sharknado to be in this.

​@@666magicoh for sure. Two for ones are especially good in regular magic as every card you receive in a game matters a lot. There are not nearly as many insanely powerful card draw or mana ramp or combos like in commander and the really powerful cards tend to be spells that don't last more than a turn whereas Commander has a lot of permanence that just keep generating a lot of value. Real magic can be so hit for hit card for card that having something that's almost impossible to counter that draws you a card and creates a creature when in a pinch or offensively try to finish the opponent by cycling it during your opponent's end step and swinging your next turn. If you're able to cast the enchantment then that's usually game in your favor

I'm guessing Rhystic Study didn't pay the 1 to get on this list.

Shark Typhoon got me wondering how the list of top ten cards with cycling would look like nowadays

Funny story. If you cast Spreading Seas on Urza's Saga (4:05) then the saga is sacrificed to state based actions, before you even draw a card (although you still draw a card)

​@@Ulim151State based actions are checked whenever a player receives priority so spreading seas would put its etb on the stack then priority would pass to the other player if they wanted to respond to the ability but before they even get a chance to respond the saga would be sacrificed to sba

That doesn't cause prices to crash, it causes prices to decline. Crashes only happen after reprints or leaving Standard, generally, or occasionally bans.

I expected to see Dream Halls and Opposition on this list but I guess their days of glory are too far gone to make it on the list... Which is a shame, Merfolk Opposition is one of my favorite archetypes ever.

I love how Energy Flux is #3 when it's a card I NEVER see in Commander, it's very much the type of card you fear if you know about, most Commander decks love their artifacts! I will never forget losing a game because it got milled when I was planning to tutor it up on the next turn, that's life! It's also amazing how few old Enchantments are on the list.

Spreading Seas? Edit: Not even close, also, damn, surprised the sharknado reference has THAT many points.

@johngleeman8347

At least you named one of the heavy hitters. XD

#1 is one of my favorite cards from favorite set. I remember when it was spoiled 😍

Did not mention how dress down combos with phyrexian dreadnought? And it's sweet because you cast DD at the endstep of your opponent, and you get until the end of the NEXT turn until you need to get rid of it... so you draw your card Of DD and then have all of next turn to cast one (or more :) ) dreadnoughts.

Damn never been this early, love the videos since I first saw them many a year ago

blue having the 2nd most enchantments makes sense to me when you consider blue is the primary control colour and enchantments are a good way to set permenant/passive control effects. plus, they're the main prison colour which is also all enchantments

As Blue is my MtG color of choice, this was a list I had been looking forward to, and enjoyed! If I'm being honest, I hadn't heard of several of these, so it was kind of nice to get a sampling of "things Blue can do" that weren't already on my radar. If I'm being honest, though, my favorite thing about this list was pricing. I might just pay less attention than I should, and this is a trend throughout most of your lists, but I really like that, once we hit the top, it wasn't just the $20+ cards that happen to be Blue Enchantments. When I saw Omniscience, I just expected the stuff after it to also have that price, since they'd probably also be MRs other people had figured out the value of, swept up, and raised the price of those still in the wild, so it was nice to see the top stuff was like $1, and $5, instead of the higher numbers; they feel acquirable, assuming there is a copy to be had, on a site. 😊 Anywho, thanks for another Blue list, and I look forward to the next one!

my number 1 is: enchanted evening. which is AMAZING in enduring ideal decks. allows you to blow up all your opponents permanents while also shielding your own enchantments from board wipes. he will then lose his own permanents. while enduring ideal will still keep fetching enchantments regardless. my enduring ideal deck uses these cards eventually aurashards blows up all my opponents permanents or i just out ramp my opponents ability to cast creatures with sandwurm convergence. can also halt opponent creature aggression with ghostly prison and story circle: wall of roots axebane guardian overgrown battlement aura shards awakening zone sandwurm convergence ghostly prison and/or story circle enchanted evening enduring ideal westvale abbey (36 cards 24 lands.) ------ other cards to consider: crush of wurms and/or followed footsteps and/or plow under and/or pest infestation

I pulled off the Omniscience/ enter the infinite combo in commander hard casting Omniscience

I feel like it says a lot the most successful blue enchantment is a product of FIRE design essentially based on a meme.

I like the one that turns creatures into different types

Is there a way you can show what formats the cards are currently legal in? 🤔

Ahhhh blue enchantments. I don't actually know that many all things considered, pretty much just the stax ones. I like playing stax in EDH, bite me. It's almost as fun to pilot as "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" is to watch.
