The End of Leaks? | Massive Modern Horizons 3 Leaks | MTG

[Music] hey everyone Mitch coming in for the C scor Studio welcome to the show so it has been a very odd time in magic for many reasons the uh different kinds of products are coming out the well massive amount of leaks as well that is kind of what is happening right now but that epic Saga of leaks for mod Horizon 3 might be coming to an end so let's discuss that and one pretty big one that I missed as well so there was this uh little post the other day uh I believe this was on the MTG uh rumors uh Reddit thread essentially and uh yeah this image popped up and this is why we might not be getting any leaks anymore and apparently apparently here we go I'm just going to read it hey guys sorry for the radio silence but I decided to delete all the pictures I have and wait for the actual release so it seems there is a much larger issue than me and the only thing I can do is my part in make sure no more leaks spill out into the community that seems very well written the devs at watsi work really hard to make these sets for the community and I know you guys are just as excited as I am but it's honestly better to leave this to the professionals I hope you guys can understand my decision and just hang in there a bit longer um okay not that I'm not taking this at face value but just some speculation not making any accusations here at all not trying to claim that this is what happened this is just what I'm thinking could potentially have happened is that uh Wizards reached out to this individual uh in one way or another with uh potentially a cease and assist maybe in saying like hey um yeah stop doing this or you're going to be in big trouble or you know you need to give all this product back right now or um you know and others might speculate that the pinkertons might have been might have been sent to their house uh which was speculated or confirmed I don't know for previous you know leaks whatever last year I think right regardless I am not making any accusations as to what Wizards is doing I just want to make that clear but um the way that this is written just seems very PR and very uh again like the devs at watsy work really hard to these sets for the community and I know so like you there's no way you just had like a change of heart just overnight it was like oh darn what have I been doing oh no I should really stop these leaks because yeah I don't know yeah know I I don't think that that is what is going on personally I'm not going to say that I know what actually happened with this it just seems a bit fishy to me that being said so we might be done with leaks because the person who uh you know posted this was the one who was posting all the leaked images uh and had all those boxes or you know products somehow uh but uh another image came up apparently right here uh for sale looks like on um what is this on Facebook Marketplace so that's another post on mggg rumors about this apparently and that is clearly a u modern Horizon 3 play booster box so there you go apparently for $300 don't know how much the actual you know one is actually selling for let me know in the comments below uh quite a bit I mean it's it's a premium product cuz these cards you know cost more to print somehow right Wizards yeah um so yeah apparently this is uh it was at the time on Facebook Messenger not messenger Facebook market place I see the little messenger logo right there that's why I said that uh but if I had to guess I would say that this has probably been also taken down at some point because Wizards probably again not specul I am a little speculating I guess right there but not saying Wizards did this but I would imagine that they might reach out to this individual and be like um no not going to happen so we shall see what happens with all this um again spoiler season for mod Horizon 3 isn't until probably end of May but again like a ton of cards have already been leaked again I I I forgot to say earlier um not officially confirmed by Wizards nor will they ever be until spoiler season actually is going on and those cards are released in that way so take everything that I've said on this episode everything on the previous leaked episodes of a grain of salt CU they're not confirmed that being said with all these leaks there is one that I actually missed uh apparently and it was pointed out to me that uh I did miss one somehow I am very sorry for missing that one well that said let's jump into that one talk about its potential and then talk about one other thing as well so null Elemental blast and this is not the actual image I just used this I used the text that was found on the you know blurry image essentially to uh you know put it on this custom Magic card so that we can actually discuss it easier okay this is not what the actual card is it's not what the art looks like it's just so blurry that it'd be obnoxious to just throw up on the screen and try to read throw it okay again take everything with the grain of salt instant phas single colorless Mana null Elemental blast choose one counter Target multicolored spell destroy Target multicolored permanent so this is obviously very reminiscent and a basically a call back to what is it red Elemental blast and blue Elemental blast which is kind of interesting cuz like those two you know we haven't seen you know to my knowledge green white or black uh those are like you know they go up against each other you know the red ones toward the blue ones BL for red ones yeah very interesting but this one is a brand new one apparently and again it's interesting it really is uh you can either counter Target multicolored spell which I mean if you if you really think about it the vast majority of commanders that c play all multicolored like if you look at the top 20 commanders I think the only monocolored one in there is is cranco I'm pretty sure actually I think it's cranco I think cranco is still up there but like if you look at the vast majority of commanders out there many of them are multicolor uh so at the very least this could be a one Mana counter a commander spell or again destroy Target multicolor permanent spell so again if it hits the battlefield also destroy it so yeah I mean at the very least like going up against commanders you're going to have targets for this the investory of the time if you're going up against three you know monocolor players then yeah this card does absolutely nothing for you that being said yeah it's a pretty good effect this is actually I mean I'd say more applicable in in some ways in many ways than the red Elemental blast and blue Elemental blast but like also less applicable again like these are going to deal with more I mean Maybe not maybe not I guess H yeah I guess they'll deal with more commanders in general but they're not going to deal with like more just like you can't take out like a ristic study versus like Ral blast can it's interesting it's very interesting and how much play this going to I think is actually really dependent upon like how much colorless production you have in your deck because yeah if this is one generic Mana obviously this would see a lot of play and certain amount of play I sure but because it is a colorless Mana that is more restrictive actually to me than any other color that could be in there obviously because you kind of either have to have a utility land that Taps for that which some decks just don't like some decks the only lands you really have are like fetch lands essentially um or you need to have like enough Mana rocks in your deck that do tap for a colorist like you know for example obviously solar ring um that being said like there would be times if you don't have enough of that like colorless Mana fixing that you actually can't cast this ironically even though it's a one Mana spell so it's interesting it's a very exciting card it's one that like if you're in a color deck yeah it's probably I'm not going to say an auto include but like color STS are getting more and more removal lately but they really have like counter spells either so like this is is just a slam dunk in those kinds of decks but like if you're in more than a couple colors like can you like if you're in four five color like do you have enough utility to actually you know cast this spell probably not because your ramp is probably all Mana based not Mana based Mana color based uh I mean sure you might have a soul ring there or whatnot but still like you don't you need at least a couple you don't want this to be a dead card in your hand you need at least a couple of ways to do that I'd say like one color yeah obviously you can utilize a lot of utility lands in one color two color absolutely uh as well could I think it also just depends I mean it depends on a lot of factors I guess this is kind of one of more one of those that might be just like more like tested out and see how it how it works potentially I I do need to mention I forgot do this as well this is not a Mythic rare as well I believe this is listed as an uncommon I think actually so my apologies for having the wrong set coloring in there set coloring the symbol Bol coloring in there that being said yeah it's going to be interesting to see how maybe I'm underrating it but I think I'm I'm trying to make sure I take into account just the difficulty in casting this in the vast majority of decks out there and if like you're in three color it's definitely very iffy in my opinion because you might not have enough utility lands that can tap right colors in those kinds of decks because you do need more Mana fixing the more colors that you have obviously so let's just see let's see I mean like obviously Ral blast and bl see a good amount of play they're very powerful cards and uh we shall see where this one sees playing yeah I mean obviously color St is the slam Duncan yeah very very cool though uh regardless there is one more thing I do want to talk about and actually if you saw my episode yesterday ulong the defiler was in that episode that being said uh has been requested that I do a quick take around this one so I talk about cards that work well with it because there's some players out there like uh you talked about the other eldrazi uh that's really exciting yeah but we know Mitch that you like five color um but hey how about uh color ulog because this one is a gross uh so again uh take everything I say with the gra of salt this has not been officially confirmed to be an actual card I will go through this quickly then let's go through the budget buys and price your picks on it okay and I will include a card list Link in the description below but again it's a leak it's not officially confirmed so hey uh don't just go up and buy cards that work well with it ask your play group first maybe if they're like hey like okay can I proxy this and play with this already and if it's not actual card you're still okay with that and if they are great if not maybe wait until until the SE front to be a real card to pick up anything anyway 77 lrai for 10 Mana cast spell Target ex half their Library round it up Ward sacrifice Su permanence the filer enters the battlef the number of counters on it equal to the grace man value among cards in Exile log has Annihilator X for X the number of counters on it yeah gross uh very gross uh let's jump into how I would build around this monstrosity first up let's talk about the budget buy G cards are less than $1 within my Bud we are going to be talking about crashing drawbridge first a Z4 artifact creature wall for two Mana with Defender you're not including in the deck because it's a Z4 blocker you're including in the deck because it has tap creature control gain haste until end of turn there aren't that many ways I mean there's a decent amount obviously there's not an absurd amount of ways though to Grant haste to your team in colorless I mean normally care about your team more or less you really care about your commander if you can just attack once with your commander you can probably just decimate one opponent again because it's going to be hitting hard right I mean let's say you Exile half of someone's library and the biggest thing they had in their deck was like seven which is pretty reasonable I think so you know you Exile something out of seven your commander an Battlefield with seven counters on it if you can swing right away with a 1414 that has Ward sacrifice to permanence and your opponent doesn't have any way to actually deal with it and then you swing at them right away they have to sacrifice again with Annihilator 7 sacrifice seven permanence for you swing at them right away so yeah that is absolutely deadly and by having something out like this in play ahead of time again you can be ready to do so and it doesn't cost you anything extra to just swing right away you just tap this you give it haste you swing right away so haste is invaluable with this kind of a commander again it's basically just like oh I I took you out okay goodbye next next up cloak of the bat this one is again you're going to need a bit more Mana we'll talk about Mana though because yeah you are going to be dedicating a lot of resources to resources clo of the bat in equipment for two equip creature is flying in haste equip two this does cost a little more to equip than you probably want because again you want to be able to like get your command around and then immediately swing so you can just have a high impact because again your commander is going to have a huge Target on its back number one number two you can just decimate opponent and take them out of the game with one swing this also going just take them out of the game again with evasion so again that flying is very nice be to go up and over your opponent's blockers I mean at least one of your opponents most of the time again will not have a blocker that is flying or reach so you can typically get through them on them with something like flying some kind of evasion like that there are better forms of evasion out there but still being able to get through an opponent again like with that last example at 14 damage even if it's not 14 even if it is again let's say 11 which is probably a pretty low threshold if you're playing against like a low the ground Spell slinger deck and they have like four Mana value is their highest then sure but most of the time I'd say that you're you're getting up at least five six seven counters maybe even more depending on the deck so yeah your committer is going to be a two- shot KO the vast majority if not all the time so being able to fly through hit an opponent and potentially take them out in two swings is massive next up haunted cloak this one is somewhat similar but it only cost one to actually equip it cost three to actually get out so you'd rather have the lower equip cost later because like early on you can be like ramp ramp ramp get one of these things out and then equip it on my commander when I need to when I need to get the commander out so just having to pay what 11 in total like your commander plus the one to actually give it haste is huge vigilance trample and haste all those are massive again your commander is going to be a massive blocker for you now good luck attacking into me when I've got my again let's just say 1414 but also trample get damage through as well this and of course haste the best part next up fire streer Qui is double strike equipped too yeah like I mentioned the vast majority of time if not basically all the time your commander is going to be a two- shot K I mean it starts off as a three shot K with 77 but again if you just have a four converted Mana cost card that is exiled essentially then all of a sudden it hits for 11 hitting now for 22 with double strike that is a onot KO on any player so yeah your opponent is going to basically be just out of luck if you are swinging at them because they're going to have to sacrifice so many things and then they're also probably going to get taken out right then there so yeah that is quite a disgusting thing I mean and maybe they can like survive one attack and you're like okay I sacrificed four lands and three creatures I have one blocker left I'll block with that and hopefully survive next time but now you just like swing again they have the sacrifice things they're going to be gone Inquisitor play yet another way to double things up but like not with double strike it's it's kind of a weird one Creature if equip creature would deal combo damage deals double that damage instead if another creature deal combo damage equip creature deals double that damage to the equip creature instead basically doubles up the damage that it deals and that is dealt to it and that is completely fine the vast majority of the time because your commander is massive so yeah I mean and also you're going to have evasion to actually get it through you know again flying whatever essentially but yeah being able to get it through hitting doubly is hard and uh yeah you can very easily take someone out doubly is hard goodness gracious Champions Helm yet another piece of equipment you might want to consider with this one Qui creature gives plus two plus two so that's nice it really could put you over the top too if you really need to get to that one shot Koo as long as Qui creature is legendary it has hex proof so yes this only cost equip one I can't believe this is budget friendly no defin definitely used to be but yes being able to give hex proof to your commander is huge yes you have ward two on it but here's the thing I mean like the disgusting nature of this commander makes it so that that Ward sacrifice I said Ward 2 Ward sacrificed to permanence cost is actually kind of not not a low cost for it but it's it's well worth the word it's well worth paying that versus allowing that to swing at you because what would you rather happen again in that scenario where it has seven counters on it if you're the opponent playing against this ulok would you rather you know cast your swords to plow shares sacrifice two of your permanence to get rid of that or would you rather allow that player to swing at you and then you sacrifice seven permanence it's an easy decision so again although it does have like Ward sacrific to permanence again that is a pretty low cost for what it could be so yeah giving ulog hexr obviously is again like perfect Ward what Ward used to be basically and uh not allowing your committer to be Target it is pretty huge obviously some indestructible things could help as well next up scavenger grounds a very simple card to add in the deck you are in a color stack yeah utilize utility lands an amazing amount of utility Lands still have some waste in there just in case but yeah tap for a colus pay two tap sacrifice a desert Exile graveyards even if this is the only desert and we got some more desert utility from uh you know the last set el Center Junction but now just being able to even just sacrifice this that is a huge well panic button to be like oh okay that player is playing like reanimation that player is doing that with like self Mill graveyard Shenanigans be like oh uh no graveyards are gone but also again with this command you could have a bigger you know Mana cost in a graveyard than you have in Exile again you play your commander you Exile half someone's Library most likely you probably hit like a six maybe seven maybe even more than that but let's say you didn't let's say you hit just like five was the highest and then in a graveyard somewhere is someone's eight then you're like oh okay I pop this I get rid of all graveyards next time my commander comes in a play next time I cast my commander I should say or you can do this ahead of time again you're like okay cool do that and all of a sudden it's at 8 so my commander comes up 8 counters on it which is even more deadly also Stone speaker Crystal I mean this one is just a Mana Rock which already you're going to want a ton of Mana rocks your deck probably like 20 plus right because your commander does cost 10 s speaker Crystal an artifact for four tap for two so very efficient very effective but also pay to tap sacrifice it Exile Target players graveyard draw a card so again great graveyard hate which can come in really handy against certain decks and also again like I said hey set yourself up with that high Mana value out of a graveyard and replace this by drawing a card or how about duplicant ETB it's going to Exile Target non-token creature and as long as it's exiled that is exile creature card it has the power toughness and creature type the last creature Exile with it it's a two4 but it can be obviously a lot bigger but of course if you Exile something massive again something that costs like 78 n whatever it is cool you have that one card in Exile that has that you know Mana value you're set up for the rest of the game with a giant Mana value for your commander whenever you cast it to get a ton of counters on it Scout from existence again not the most efficient card when it comes to its cost but still you're in color take what you can get S Mana instant Exile Target permanent yeah Exile that away again this is a good panic button card but also yeah get rid of the biggest thing in play like okay cool you got that 10 Mana value thing out there awesome thank you for the 10 counters on my commander also thank you Wizards for continuously reprinting soul ring finally budget friendly now artifact for one tabs for two you're going to want an absurd amount of ramp in this deck and because you're in col of course you can be as efficient as you want to be you don't have to worry about any Mana fixing you just can be incredibly efficient getting the best Mana rocks out there essentially into this deck to get things going again like I mentioned with the utility lands earlier Forge of Heroes is a great one land the canap col tap choose Target Comm battle for this turn put a counter on if it's a creature and a loyalty counter on it's a Plains Walker having additional ways to just get counters on your commander can be massive and one I land is quite nice being able to get more counters because again more counters obviously means more ability to get to a a one- shot KO but more importantly perhaps definitely more importantly in my opinion get that Annihilator up get that Annihilator to to an absurd amount so yeah utilize things that get counters on your commander proliferate effects etc etc or how about like blade of the blood streef goodness gracious uh whatever creature dies put a counter of creature it's a vampire two counters instead your commander unfortunately isn't a vampire a vampire draws you blah uh but uh yeah it is we probably a vampire drowsy at some point right come on it's got to happen at some point maybe I don't know I mean don't say Chang Lings in the comments below come on I know I know that Chang Lings are all creature types regardless getting extra counters on your command uh yeah if creatures just could take it out left and right when your Commander's in play with this on it all of a sudden your commander again just swings once and takes out someone's entire board and also is PARTA a one- shot KO so yeah getting extra counters on your commander even after the fact can be absolutely amazing but let move on to the price your picks again cards outside of my budget but might be within yours first up lightning Greaves cre creature has haste and trout equip zero so yeah again like I mentioned when it comes to actually granting your commander haste the free abilities are probably going to be the best ones because yeah paying zero to equip this means that we can just freely attach this to our commander that is massive that is huge swing right away with your commander without having to worry about having extra Mana available and obviously with that shroud sure you can't Target your commander oh darn you can still make so that no one can Target it at all though again it's it's a worst version of hex roof but still you're probably willing to put this on your commander because now no one can Target it your opponents can't Target it they can't deal with it and you're just going to be through and wiping out at least one player well I mean definitely one player yeah pretty much next up Swift of boots basically the exact same thing but instead of shroud it's hex roof and equip one again it costs one extra Mana you have to save up one extra Mana so instead of at 10 you got to be at live and get your commander out and swing right away that being said again hex roof is better than shroud because well you can still Target your commander so being able to put on other pieces of equipment like we talked about like blade of blood Chief or whatnot getting things going again picture blade of blood chief on your Commander while you swing that player sacrifices creatures it's getting counters on it right then and there disgusting gross lovely AC chromus Memorial speaking of which creatur control flying First Strike vigilance trample haste Dire from black and from Red this is a crazy good effect again it does cost seven sure but you're in cus and you have a Comm cost 10 you're going to be ramping an absurd amount so ramp ramp ramp get this out next turn get your commander out in play have a fun time just swinging right away with your again Hasty trampling Vigilant first striking flying Pro black Pro red Commander good luck to any opponent dealing with that ever again I mean proba probably you know someone probably can it's going to cost them a good amount to do so but you'll probably take out one player really quickly with this and then just take your another player out next time your commander comes out also again other very simple lands to include in the deck elrazi Temple Taps for C or taps for two if you spend it on an alrazy Spell essentially spend I should probably read it spend the spell cast alrai spells or activate abil col elrazi that uh that is your commander it Taps for two next up I have ugan col alra spells you cast col cast pay Seven Taps social for a c SC card your hand the shuffle basically what you have these in here for are just to ramp quicker to get your commander out it's a very expensive way to do so but again if you already have this card you have the budget for it or whatever yeah it can help you get your commander out much quicker three and Dynamo of course we get access to cards that are outside of my budget again unfortunately three dyo get reprinted again please more efficient more effective to Mana rocks cost four tabs for three again no Mana fixing here though but no Mana fixing needed you're in colus so yeah just ramp as quickly as possible I mean you go like soul ring turn one turn two this turn three what do you at I don't even know turn three that's three Mana plus two plus three that's nine you're really close you're really close to get there so you can get your commander out in absolutely no time with a hyper Focus deck when it's built around this Commander ulong the Cil hunger yet another one I want to point out of course you couldn't go like I'll draw tribal this come in if you really want to and if you're not doing that make sure you're considering something like this uh if you have the budget for if you already have this a 101l DW that cost 10 when you cast Spell exile two permanence indestructible whenever it attacks SP player Exiles top 20 cards of Library this helps out in multiple ways obviously first up well it's a giant threat and that's quite fun for you but also exile to permanence again you can Exile the biggest thing out there and all of the sudden yeah again your other ulog your UL Commander comes out with more and more counters on it and of course when this attacks you also get to Exile 20 card off someone's Library which is quite funny because you literally well you're adding to your count right you're adding to potentially getting even a bigger Mana value card out there that is exiled but also like you could Again cast my new ulog the defiler right it can Exile the top half of someone's Library that's gone that person's down to I mean probably let's just say 35 or so cards maybe by the time all this happens maybe 40 whatever it is cool I swing with this once I swing with this again that player is is gone they're out of the game I didn't even have to attack them with my actual commander I just attacked them with my other ulamog to get rid of the rest of their deck and they are just gone because they are milled out even better than is there a different term for Milling some out the Exile though but yeah whatever it is anyways this is definitely something to consider and of course if you just want to go draws Tri I can be quite powerful as well but now this episode is coming to a close it's time for me to hear from you so in the comments below let me know your thoughts are all this are do you think that the leaks are done do you think that we are done with leaks or do you think that between now and the end of May something else will leak out there or if that box was somehow sold on Facebook Marketplace or whatever might be getting leaks from other source we shall see I will keep you in the loop though of course between now and then and then as well once we get to actual spoiler season and we actually get to see if these leaks are actually real again I do want to mention just one more time that they have not been officially confirmed nor will they probably ever be until actual spoiler season comes out those cards are revealed we shall see if they are real I believe they're real personally I do think like 99.999% chance that these cards are real they all look very legitimate to me it would take an absurd amount of effort to actually fake all this regardless please take everything I say with a grain of salt if you are interested in those cards make sure you check out that card list Link in the description below but please don't pick any of them up for the commander deck unless you ask your playgroup first be like hey K if I proxy this and even if it's not a real card am I still allowed to proxy it sure and if not just like bookmark it and then once it's like extra reveal to be a real card if it is then pick that up regardless I hope that you enjoyed this episode stay tuned to this channel for you more quick takes and spoilers and leaks and of course as always thanks again and have a good one
