More Shadows Over Innistrad previews! We're hitting everything that was in the Card Image Gallery at this point, including all four planeswalkers! And yes I know the episode name is dumb. I just don't care.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. There is a chill wind blowing, and that thing lurking in the darkness is starting to move. Therefore, it is time for the Rivals to breakout their magnifying glasses and search the spoilers for clues to what cards will be good for commander in Shadows over Innistrad. We also take a moment to answer a few listener emails. Give us a listen and let us know what cards you are excited about for the new release.

Intro and Listener email: We start today with a couple listener emails. We talk about the worst EDH advice we’ve ever gotten, what we would play in Grixis that isn’t our first three choices, and all the reasons Eric was wrong in the last episode (Nole particularly loved this last bit. #MakeAlaraGreatAgain).

 

Set Review time: It’s SOI review time. We review cards. This is not groundbreaking commentary.

CJ Shrader

Creature — Human 1/2, UG

Defender

At the beginning of each upkeep, if CJ isn’t available to record, transform into Matt Williams.

Matt Williams

Creature — Human 2/1 (White/Red)

Haste, Indestructible, Vigilance

Matt Williams must attack each combat if able.

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a hustle counter on Matt Williams. This turn, there is an additional combat step for each hustle counter on Matt Williams.

It’s that time of the season again! Ghosts skulk in the basements, men transform into beasts, delirium and madness drive the crowds to riot, and we record another release notes episode!

We cover all the cards we deem interesting in the interest in getting you ready to play or judge in your prerelease, and try to cover some of the wackier stuff that can happen with the new rare cards.

What better way to prepare for your SHADOWS OVER INNISTRAD pre-release than following along as we break down each card in the set?!

We continue with the Blue cards and all things incorporeal and mad.

For reference here’s our grading scale

4 – Bombs that pull you into a specific color and always make the cut

3 – Cards that always make that cut (Premium removal and creatures)

2 – Cards that will sometimes make the cut (Filler creatures and spells)

1 – Cards that will never make the cut

So this is the episode that we say goodbye to this standard format. We then take a look at the future of standard and other formats in our best of SOI predictions which we will inevitably get wrong.
