    Hello, could you also make a video pointing out the mistakes in rules that you made in your previous videos? It would be informative especially for new players, as people still cite your videos "as proof" that they are correct even though the information presented is incorrect. Using this video as an example, I had to correct other commentators for not understanding that the Minsc and Boo planeswalker with 3 loyalty will not die to a lightning bolt because the active player casting the planeswalker still has priority and then activating the Minsc and Boo giving it a +1 counter is an activation cost and therefore it does not matter when the +1 ability successfully occurs, the planewalker still has to "Pay" the activation cost by getting a +1 loyalty counter.

    Still failed to convince me that Oko isn't the strongest in history. It's true most of the formats he was banned in are ones where Comet and Minsc were never legal, and would've gotten banned if they had been, but Oko WAS also banned in Legacy where Comet and Minsc are both still allowed to exist. Yes, Comet and Minsc's suites of abilities are more impressive, but they also cost a mana more.

However I think you're mistakenly viewing the matchup between the decks as a direct matchup between the cards and discounting the other cards that make one deck stronger than the other. All the Jund lists I see are only running 2-3 M&B. But every sultai list is running the full 4 Oko, because making sure to draw him is important enough to risk getting multiples, whereas the Jund deck can stand not to draw M&B.

The power level on Minsc and Boo in particular might be high, but that's a different concern from the design complaints.

You play minsc & boo typically turn 2/3, and uptick on boo, then downtick and copy on the following turn. You also run things like wasteland/strip mine which can also be copied with radiant performer as an Armageddon effect. Or simply copy your opponents spells like swords/path, knowing your boo will be back again on your upkeep. Radiant performer is fairly versatile.

The upsides are rather minor, it not costing life means that both you can't be pressured out of value and it places less restrictions on your deckbuilding, and it being a creature makes it harder to interact since a lot of the cedh counterpells don't hit creatures. The other uses are fairly minor imho, while they can be nice if you do get them I don't think they make the card even remotely close to playable in cedh All in all, can be a good inclusion, especially as it's not too used and so can catch people out, with all those downsides, probably a riskier inclusion but those can definitely work

Since loyalty counters are part of the activation costs and opponents cannot respond to it, Minsc and Boo will have a loyalty counter of 4 even before the lightning bolt resolves. (If an MTG judge disagrees, please explain why, since Rules 606.4 states: "The cost to activate a loyalty ability of a permanent is to put on or remove from that permanent a certain number of loyalty counters, as shown by the loyalty symbol in the ability’s cost." Therefore, based on the rules, the cost is paid (add loyalty counter) regardless whether the loyalty ability resolves. It's like how dark ritual resolves (paying for spells) regardless of whether the spell using the mana from dark ritual resolves.

    Great video, I had a very similar list. My list of strongest Planeswalkers was: Oko > KGC > Wrenn/6 > 3feri > Comet/Boo with Honorable mentions of Valki/Tibs. My reasoning was the top 4 are each Banned or restricted in at least one format due to power level. Comet and Boo, who fill a very similar roles as powerful as 1of finishers, but they are often plan Bs and are legal in all formats they were printed into. Also I feel like Valki//Tibalt deserved an honorable mention as a planeswalker so powerful they changed the rules of the game to nerf it.

    Damn, thank you for calling me an old-timer as we planeswalked into the video. I've only started seriously gaming MtG during Phyrexian All Will Be One, but I played a few hours of some Duels of Planeswalkers game on PlayStation 3 many years ago. And I complain heavily about planeswalkers.

    Obviously it's very dependent on format and context, but I really agree with the top 3 at least in a vintage cube context where all the greatest hits reside. Among planeswalkers, minsc and boo probably the highest pick followed by oko then comet. Oko might be above minsc in constructed though since he's in blue green and 1 mana cheaper, etc. The other two in the top 5, w6 and karn really shine in constructed where you can have karn wishboard or w6 fetches. Despite their power, because of legality restrictions or format, the top 3 don't really see that much play in constructed. Hmm, also as I'm typing this, I think maybe mini teferi, narset, and jace (both JVP and JTMS) might be better more often than wrenn6 when cubing unless you manage to snag fetchlands or strip mine of course that the video mentioned. Actually I don't think the video even mentioned the busted value of channel lands.

Being able to grab cards off of other people’s libraries to protect itself or generate value, quickly destroy their card advantage by exiling cards from their hand (with a plus ability which is insane), blow things up or deal direct damage, and then the ability to just wipe everyone’s boards with the ult? Seems really strong. Used to play it in every deck I could and would get so much hate for it lol

    I think there's a very important planeswalker that you missed for this list, at least for the honourable mentions, and that's Tibalt. The new Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor, which was supposed to cost 7 mana but because of the way modal DFCs worked could be cheated into play for free with Cascade as long as you had a card that could hit the 2 mana Valki side, and dominated the game so hard that it was what got that rule changed, it would easily be stronger than anything on this list if you could still cheat it into play with Shardless Agent.

    I'm from two years in the future, here's the current top 5 planeswalker list: 5: John Cena, the Champ! (Mana cost of 0 means no one ever sees him coming) 4: Mark Rosewater (Only on number 4 because he would look at you in disappointment if you use him in degenerate decks) 3: Yugi Muto, King of Games. (Forcing your opponents to read three novels worth of small-font card text is way too strong an ability to just be his plus 1) 2: The Spanish Inquisition (Their greatest weapon is surprise, surprise and a -1 ability to play themselves back from the graveyard. No, wait their two greatest weapons are...) 1: Nicol Bolas, the Another One (Technically, this is a Fortnite Crossover event)

    My heart still belongs to Nissa Who Shakes the World. Getting a Forest-doubler as the static is incredible, I cannot count the # of times I’ve turned a land into a 5/5 body w/ Hardened Scales effects, and her Ult isn’t just a game-winner. It lets me select the doom of my choice for the pod. I really dig nearly all the Nissas, TBH. She’s even got a version that’s simultaneously a flavor win and fairly broken combo, (Untapping four creatures of your choice that Ashaya conveniently turned into Forests). I’ve made great use of various Nissas in a bunch of different decks, though it’s probably Nissa, Voice of Zendikar I get the most regular use from. (I play a LOT of +1/+1 counters stuff, OK? Getting a mass counter-add for -2 is nearly always a great deal.) And of course Ascended Animist is great, too.

    I've done the math with 100,000,000 trials in MATLAB, and Comet, on average, during the first turn you have him out, will summon 1 Squirrel, will return 0.25 cards from your Graveyard to your hand (provided there is one there always), will deal 2.75 damage divided among however many targets, will have you use his 0 ability 1.5 times, and will die 0.0005 times (will die 0.05% of the time). He will, on average, also not gain or lose any loyalty after the first activation. I am not exactly confident in my coding ability, however. The most times he activated was 55, summoning 24 Squirrels, bringing back 5 cards from the GY, and dealing 256 damage. He deals >= 20 damage on the first activation 0.48% of the time, and >= 10 damage 4.58% of the time.
