I’m wondering if you changed your minds or if I misinterpreted your opinions. Also, totally agree with Vanquish the Horde, that card is Powerful.

That's a pretty solid list. I'd have put Reconnaissance much higher on my list. It's useful in so many instances. At it's worst, it's a 1 mana gives virtual vigilance to your *NON-SHROUD* creatures. It also helps commanders that need their attack triggers to not suicide themselves or other creatures into blockers. Taigam or Zur, Kaalia, Linden, Narset and even Winota could use it. However, since damage doesn't use the stack, if your creature deals combat damage, unless it's first strike damage, it will also be dealt damage if blocked and you won't be able to respond to the damage before it dies, as you seemed to say in the video. Also a big fan of Sevinne's Reclamation.
Thank you so much for making this content. 100 card list really gives me lots of ideas, for all of the decks i have containing white. Angels, blink, counters, vampires. Take your time... but please give us the other colors, artifacts and multicolors!!!

Im sad Council’s Judgement isn’t here. Probably the most fun and effective removal spell against any permanent. You CHOOSE what permanent to exile, put a “VOTE” counter and you most likely will be in agreement with the rest of your play group on what to exile as the current biggest threat on the field. Gets past hexproof and shroud, hits any permanent and it never exiles ANYTHING YOU OWN. Great fun and effective spot removal for any emergencies you may have. Deserved at least an honorable mention. :(
I'm shocked Akroma's Will didn't make it in. Slightly overcosted board protection at worst, and one of White's best win cons with a large board making your creatures almost nearly unblockable at its best. It's gone into nearly all of my decks that has a white pip since its release.

Thank you. I like this kind of list. I also recently saved the top 100 commanders ranks you did. It's nice to have the different perspective apart from the diluted standard list. Although, now sad I missed out on Moat. :P At least I got an Island Sanctuary (will that ever reprint?). Now you could do one for worst 100, Fasting, Alabaster Leech (antistax), Farmland or the fave background Abbey Matron. I wonder how I got stuck with a lot of the old worst cards since revised.

With Catastrophe you should of mentioned how it works as I think it's a lot of the power of the card. When you cast catastrophe your opponents don't know what you are choosing when they have priority as it's not a choose card. So once you "choose" the effect happens and your opponents cannot respond anymore. This can lead to them responding in the wrong way. This doesn't always matter but it definitely comes up when we played the card all the time back in the day.
