If you tap Scattershot Archer before combat, you've just killed your own Warkite Marauder. You need to wait until the Marauder's triggered ability is on the stack, then tap your Archer. You'll still kill your Marauder, but you'll take their biggest flyer along with it.

I have the same problem. The biggest MTG buff in our playgroup was pretty shocked when I built a deck with Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale in it. It was in a filing box with my brother's abandoned collection in it. I had no idea what it was worth, and didn't believe him when he told me until we looked it up. Every so often I'll dig a handful out of that box to check their value.

yep, only 9 cards. so I'll add a 10th card: Instill Energy, an aura that only costs a G and give the enchanted creature Haste (haste in mono-green?) and gives it an activated ability to freely untap an additional time during your turn. just imagine all the mana you could make untapping your Selvala, Heart of the Wild, or Marwyn the Nurturer. or getting more uses out of your Vannifar, or other Value green creature you may have!

I would say haste in green as a one drop the way people want it to work is actually Concordant Crossroads. This card was available before Theros:BD for between $15-20. It was only ever printed in Legends and Chronicles. This effects all creatures however even opponent's creatures. While the card is now $40 minimum, it was used in conjunction with Siona Captain of the Pyleas and Shielded by faith for infinite tokens and same turn damage. Instill Energy is heavily talked about because of the bad wording but currently officially it can just attack as thought it had haste and not use activated abilities requiring tapping.

Props for the scout :) They were a key part of my simic evolution deck. And Magus of the Candelabra goes so well with a Forbidden orchard deck, though I don't think I'll be able to buy mine in paper. Thanks for this video.

Magus of the Candelabra is amazing in my enchantress deck that I filled with land enchantment based ramp. Great Card!

I'm impressed that savage summoning didn't make up the list since you give flash AND a +1/+1 AND can't be countered for 1 mana plus, which helps you combo, put a large threat into player or even remove in instant speed something annoying using like rec sage or some wierd variations of ETB

Font of fertility is an enchantment for 🍀 that you can sacrifice for 1🍀 to tutor up a basic land tapped. It's basically like Rampant Growth stapled onto an enchantment. In my opinion it works supremely well in a Korvold deck because you sacrifice Font and Korvold is all about gaining advantage from sacrificing permanents. So in a way Font of fertility acts as a Rampant Growth + draw 1 with Korvold on the field

Wow! Elephant grass is going straight into my thantis deck! Thanks prof.

Some of these I did already know about, but there were a few that were new to me and I will definitely have to keep an eye out for them lol

One of my favorite one drops in green is Bond Beetle in my Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig deck. He gives Yorvo one +1/+1 counter just from entering and another counter if you choose to put it on Yorvo, but you can give it to anyone else too. Really good value in my opinion.

Instill Energy!!! One of my all time favorite cars, full stop. It happens to also be cheap, underplayed and one green mana. Great video as always.

Learned about some very cool and powerful cards, thanks Prof

For Elephant grass, if you have a way of moving counters around you can always move the time counters off of elephant grass in order to keep the cumulative upkeep lower. Or run a card that prevents counters from being added to things.

Enjoying the Kafka reference. Great vid :)

Caustic caterpillar gets a unanimous groan every time I cast it when playing meren. It’s just perfection. In every way.

One of my pet cards from time spiral is Greenseeker. As a spellshaper it lets you pay a single green, tap and discard a card to get a basic out of your deck and into your hand(which is the spell lay of the land) each turn. While large parts of EDH is ramp, just hitting your land drop whenever you need to is pretty good. Also in reanimator decks it lets you pitch a bomb to grab whenever you need. Finally, art by Rebecca Guay is always a win.

I've waited so long for this video! I love this cycle of videos with 1-cost cards. but ehh, prof. I feel like you need to make a video about Mental Misstep now...

I've always been lazy with my due diligence because its always so dry and tedious pouring through cards/databases looking for upgrades but you provide amazing advice and in a fun video format to boot.

OG Teysa? Just remember it shuts down her removal ability. By overwriting all creatures colors to black (rather than "in addition to" their original colors), you no longer have any white creatures to sacrifice. You really need Painter's Servant for maximum value. Darkest Hour gives infinite sac fodder for something else, though.

I actually have an experience recommending a 1 CMC green spell to a new player. He'd picked up the Kalamax precon and was unhappy that he was having so much trouble tapping his commander to get benefits. So I suggested he run Giant Growth. He'd only just started playing and hadn't really thought about using combat tricks yet, and seeing his face light up when I explained his commander would get +6/+6 and a counter for a measly one green mana, that certainly brightened his day.

I actually haven't heard of a lot of these. Thanks prof.

A one mana card i really like is “Hidden Spider“. Its a one mana enchantment that turns into a 3/5 green spider with reach when an enemy casts a creature with flying. Being able to block flyers is always something green struggels with and this one gives you a pretty beefy body on top of it.

yup! have a couple of old elvish herder lying around from back when I first started playing.

Sorry Prof, I wasn't paying attention to your lecture. That shirt+tie combo is too fabulous.

man i watched this just to hear the jam during the audible promo, it's great

Love it very informative and fun thanks for sharing

Shout out for a two Mana enchantment compost, it draws you so many cards that if you are playing against a player who uses black cards and even milling and casts will get you a draw once the cards hit the grave does accrew value incredibly fast. Also super budget too!

I'm so glad that you included elephant grass because I run it in my muldrotha deck and I feel like that card is overlooked too often. My playgroup hates when I put it down even more than if I play propaganda or ghostly prison.

What's a morning without coffee and a new video by the Prof?

Prof as a brand new commander player, this series is one of your best series of all time. Thank you so much for helping me upgrade my deck on the CHEAP.

Shout outs to some of my favorite green one drops, frog tongue, and instill energy. The former provides a decent way to deal with creatures, while drawing you cards to dig deeper into your deck. It synergizes especially well with enchantress builds. Instill energy, on the other hand, provides a keyword that green can greatly benefit from, as well as giving a nice, once per turn cycle, untap. Allowing you to get the most out of creatures with tap abilities, like Yissan, the wanderer bard, or just attack and block with large creatures. You barely see this card get played, but I think it's a must have for decks like, Uril the mist stalker, where you can attack with him on the turn you play him, and untap him to use as a blocker.

Nice Kafka shoutout! My favorite card!

The one you missed is so underplayed and overlooked Prof forgot it in the video.

Ulvenwald Tracker, Veil of Autumn, Hapatra's Mark, Ranger's Guile, Sixth Sence... There are a lot of intresting choises, depending on strategy.

Okay, Prof, it's been driving me mad for a while now. Could you just, like, turn to the left, take red mars, put it over with blue and green mars, move the other book out of the middle of deathgate, and then put the deathgate cycle in chronological order? I know, it's silly, but damn, they're right on the shelf to MY left and it's so weird to see them interrupted on your shelves.

Great video! Super interesting!

In CMDR mono-green I do well with combining cards like Sedge Scorpion, Narnam Renegade, Gnarlwood Dryad, Wasteland Viper, Moss Viper and other small deathtouch creatures with fight cards like Ulvenwald Tracker and Prey Upon.

I have been really impressed by Irresistible Prey in mono green. For those unfamiliar: {G} Sorcery: Target creature must be blocked this turn if able. Draw a card. Green struggles with creature removal, so if you often have early burly attackers, an effective Diabolic Edict that cantrips is a pretty great. In case you can't really use it, it just cycles for {G}.

Man, imagine being a 10 year lit professor, obviously getting an opinion on various literary works, then having a super successful KZread channel and being able to make recommendations for books an audible. That's gotta be a cool feeling.

I’ve been thinking I needed to put some untap abilities into my Wort deck! Looks like Copperhorn Scout just found a new home

appreciating prof using the correct swords to plowshares art

i picked scattershot archer + some common equipment that gives deathtouch during my booster draft years ago, and its the mvp for that day

Worldly Tutor, though it is an obvious choice. Lifegift is fun if you are playing a lot of ramp or have a Landfall heavy theme.

I bought an old collection from my professor who happened to have a good few of these cards, which I think is pretty cool

Magus of the Candelabra + Maze of Ith + any land that taps for 3 or more = infinite mana, albeit only during combat. You attack with the Magus, untap it with the maze, use it to untap maze and, say, Lotus Field, untap it with maze again, rinse repeat. Good trick if you've got mono-green Omnath out. Since we only got nine cards, The Professor's tenure application is technically incomplete and therefore officially denied :)

I work at a local game store that’s also a cafe. Trying to suppress the urge to play the Prof saying 2:30 “I cannot recommend drinking coffee elsewhere” on a loop in the store. (Yes, conveniently trimmed.)

i like Gaea's touch from the Dark, helpful midgame^^

Someone in my Playgroup plays meren. Everytime i play my artifact/enchantment heavy Oloro Deck he drops the caterpillar on turn 1. We almost always become arch-enemies. Great card!

"it's a free book Jim!" got me to click the link. That was a beautifully used reference.

Magus of the Candelabra is super strong. He mentioned Maze of Ith and he mentioned Lotus Field but he didn't mention that Maze can untap an attacking Magus to go infinite with say, Lotus Field, or any land that taps for at least 3 mana. It does great work in my mono-green Golos deck going infinite with Maze of Ith or with Wirewood Lodge if I have Runed Stalactite equipped to Magus. In a monocolor deck it pairs nicely with Nissa Who Shakes the World. Or any forest doubling effects like Vernal Bloom. Goes very nicely with Nyxbloom Ancient too. His activated ability isn't a mana ability, so Rings of Brighthearth does well with it. (Rings is also very nice with Deserted Temple which is very nice with a lot of the same things Magus wants). It's also doubled by Unbound Flourishing or Illusionist Bracers. When you double the effect you can target all the same lands and tap them in between abilities resolving. Green Sun's Zenith can find him for just 2 mana total. Thousand Year Elixir gives him pseudohaste and an extra untap. He goes really well with land enchantments which aren't being run as much as they should, they are very abusable! Wild Growth, Utopia Sprawl, Fertile Ground, Wolfwillow Haven, Overgrowth, Dawn's Reflection, Market Festival, etc etc. All of these cards also pair well with another 1 drop underplayed green card that I was just sure he'd mention but he didn't: Urban Burgeoning. Play it! it's so good!

Copperhorn Scout is one of the best cards in my Ezuri, Renegade Leader deck. Pump up each elf, then attack. And since CS is an elf, Ezuri can regenerate it so after taking out an opponent, I'm ready to get the next.

Wait these cards are awesome! Thanks professor!

Some nice tech cards thanks

I really liked this series. I hope you continue it with multicolored and colorless cards. Then, do it again with 2 mana cards, 3 mana cards, etc.

With my Shrine to Nykthos in my Omnath Ramping Deck, I can see how the candelabra would just create infinite mana, explaining why it's Six Hundred and Fifty Dollars; Yipes. I had looked at the magus before, but I was putting together a tiny leaders deck so I had to keep it thin with only 50 cards.

For your consideration: Traverse the Ulvenwald, Hexdrinker, Chatter of the Squirrel, Sylvan Safekeeper & Treefolk Harbinger
