    posted a message on Tolarian Professor was 99% correct on Double Masters '22 except for ONE thing...
    As you did with his, I agree with your analysis on all points except one. Wizards hasn't supported or endorsed his channel for a long time now, ever since they went all in on bad, greedy choices and he was unable to make an honest video without calling them on it. He's not pulling those punches because he's afraid of losing support, he's doing it because he knows a lot of it is from the Hasbro level and he's telling the truth about having respect and good will to the actual Wizards employees. I'm pretty sure he and Gavin are or at least were on friendly terms. There's nothing they can take from him, he already runs the biggest Magic channel and doesn't get preview cards, he's just a nice guy who doesn't want to kick them again when it's something we all know and the majority of WotC probably hates it as well.



    tldr, he's not protecting himself, just being merciful

    It feels like Pillar should have been shifted down to chase common for draft, but it's nice to see it again

    The commands should be uncommon, they would be awesome there. It's not like they are better than the uncommon ones

    Doesn't explain sphinx demon or vampire demon.


    Vampire demon makes sense, as a demon who is cursed with vampirism, or a vampire who descends into demonage (or a vampire who becomes possessed by a demon); but demon noble does not make any sense. Demons are hedonists and treacherer, thus they are ignoble.

    Royalty is a status of birth, but Nobility is a status of merit. Hence the entire concept of Knighthood (where a peasant can become a noble).

    Thus, a prince of hell is a royal, but is not a noble.




    To 'be noble' is based on morals and actions, but to be A noble is not. Like in England, there is only ever one 'royal' family at a time, the ones who could become king or queen if a few other people in line die. The other families with titles, dukes, earls, barons, they are all 'nobles' part of the 'nobility' They have official titles and hereditary rights and claims to land, but they are not in the 'royal' family. If you look at the archdemons, the pure demons at the beginning as kings and the 5 heads of the families as beings given rank and power by the kings, it's actually the perfect word.

    big yawn, another collector booster exclusive that the majority of players will never get a chance to open



    Go back to Kaladesh/BFZ style where the good stuff can randomly show up in the pack. until then, most players have no reason to care

    Okay time for next spoiler season! Lol

    But in all seriousness, I wish they wouldn't do the dump at the end. There's no shortage of people with little channels who would love to have a junk common spoiler card because it actually helps them, it means a lot more than for bigger channels and certainly more than to Wizards

    Perfect, I will use 4 in my U Tron deck, take that Teferi.

    I would have preferred it was legendary permanent you control and not creature, This will be very annoying with ragavan in the format. Golos tron?



    it's not just that target opponent controls, you can save your own walker that is about to die! very exciting stuff

    That card is super good. I love that you have to actually pay white mana for it, makes it less worth splashing, but after a board wipe this can get big

    this has got to be his offical card art


    it's wicked cool, and it may be his art, but I would expect him to be the center, the focus. That one looks like the focus is the act of holding the helmet, like 'Gitaxian Influence' or something, where you destroy a legendary creature and draw a card.

    I could be way far off, but look at the new Vorinclex, it's just him, not holding anything, not anywhere special, I expect this one to be the same.
