Commander 2019: Primal Genesis Commander Review


Commander 2019 officially releases on Friday which means it's time to break down the sweetest new cards from each deck in video form! Normally when a new set comes out we do top ten videos for different formats, and while it's possible a few cards from Commander 2019 sneak into Legacy or Vintage, since the set isn't legal in Standard or Modern, this time we are doing things a bit different: rather than talking about the impact of the set on various formats, we're breaking down the sweetest new cards from Commander 2019 on a deck by deck basis.

While the main focus are the new legends, and their potential outside of the precons themselves, some other spice new cards show up as well. Basically, all this week it's Tomer and Seth talking new Commander cards! Today it's Naya Populate and the Primal Genesis deck! How good is Ghired, Conclave Exile? What about Atla Palani, Nest Tender? Can they keep the videos to a reasonable length? Which cards are they most excited about? Let's get to the video and find out, then after the video make sure to check out the links to all of the other Commander 2019 content up on MTGGoldfish.com and the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel!
