00:02:41
It's great to know that people.
00:02:43
I love.
00:02:43
Yeah, that's exactly why we're there.
00:02:45
So it's always an honor to get to sign or take a photo or just even it wasn't even a Richard comment this week.
00:02:52
You know,
00:03:09
funny, that would be a people just said what they said online in person.
00:03:13
I would be like, oh god, geez, no, let's see you say it in person.
00:03:19
All right.
00:03:21
Top cards from foundations.
00:03:24
So FDN and J 25.
00:03:27
I'm going to kick things off.
00:03:30
I am calling this the best card of the set, but I'm not very confident.
00:03:36
Yeah, you know, Mario has a storm scale.
00:03:38
I have a source to plowshare scale where like 10 I'm 100% confident that source to plowshares that sucks.
00:03:46
And then zero.
00:03:47
I'm like not confident at all.
00:03:48
I'm going to put this at a five at my rating here.
00:03:51
So this could be the greatest card ever or it can flop.
00:03:54
I am not sure, but I think it has potential.
00:03:57
And the card is called lunar insight.
00:04:00
So two in a blue, three mana sorcery draw a card for each different mana value among nonland permanence, you control.
00:04:10
So if you have a one drop, a two drop, a zero drop, a three drop, you count all the unique numbers up, you draw that many cards.
00:04:17
Finally, we've caught up to green card cards in blue.
00:04:24
We've done it.
00:04:32
You can pay three mana and potentially draw like five cards, six cards, you get, you know, you're better than one mana per card or one card per mana.
00:04:35
And the downside is if you, you got farewells and you have no draw up for one, you're jog zero.
00:04:43
Right.
00:04:43
So, but I think you can maneuver this to draw three more often than not, which would make this a premium card dress spell.
00:04:51
So I'm calling this one of the best card draws spells, I think, you know, like you burst card draws spells.
00:04:57
What do you guys think?
00:04:57
Do you guys think this is too conditional?
00:04:59
Do you think it's actually going to work out correctly?
00:05:02
I think this card is great, but I do think it's a little conditional as far as what decks you can put it in.
00:05:09
So you want to be a deck that's like adding permanence to the battlefield, I think this is going to be at its worst and like a spell slinger deck or something where you're more about like putting spells on the stack,
00:05:19
but if you're a deck that's like playing a bunch of permanence, I think it's kind of an auto include because the baselines what draw three for three is what we want, as long as we're getting three or more cards.
00:05:28
And I think that's pretty realistic.
00:05:29
Maybe a little worse than the Richard meta actually because you're not a mana rock believer.
00:05:34
I think it actually plays really well with mana rocks because it's easy mana values on the battlefield.
00:05:38
Also worth mentioning zero counts.
00:05:41
So if you have a token, like a treasure or a blood or something, that's kind of like a freebie.
00:05:44
So I feel like it should be easy enough to get a draw three out of this.
00:05:48
And then if you any more than that, it's just upside.
00:05:51
So as long as you're like putting permanence on the battlefield, I think the card easy auto include.
00:05:58
I mean, the card looks sweet, right?
00:05:59
It's only three mana and I think with so many things producing treasures and all these like tokens now, you can probably get a zero on there.
00:06:07
Maybe have a two and a three, like, you know, it seems like you need to do a lot more just because oh, yeah, they have stuff for this to be good.
00:06:15
But on average, I think you could probably just get there without even trying.
00:06:20
I don't think you're actually going to put that much effort into drawing three here.
00:06:23
So I think this card is pretty sweet.
00:06:25
And if you have more than that, that's even better, right?
00:06:28
So I think this card's kind of nuts as well.
00:06:33
I'm a believer.
00:06:34
I'm going to be trying it out.
00:06:35
Like if it draws three consistently, I'm very happy if it if it draws more than that.
00:06:41
That's just a cherry on top.
00:06:43
It's only bad like after a board wipe or something, you won't like help you refill your hand if you just got wiped outside of that seems very solid doesn't seem like too risky.
00:06:54
So I really like it.
00:06:56
And even the board wipe thing doesn't seem that bad, right?
00:06:58
Like yes, you get farewell.
00:06:59
It's a bummer.
00:07:01
But you only really need to add a couple more permanence to the battlefield.
00:07:05
And then you're at least getting like a divination out of it.
00:07:07
So it doesn't seem like I don't know like that much of a deal breaker to me.
00:07:12
And the extended art, the flower, the alternate version of this card, I saw Seth open it in foil.
00:07:19
It looks delicious.
00:07:20
Fox.
00:07:21
Oh, and person.
00:07:22
I look so good.
00:07:23
It looks so good.
00:07:24
Yeah.
00:07:38
Yeah.
00:07:39
And then we're pictionaries.
00:07:39
Oh, no, this is a good comparison.
00:07:39
He's got to think ponders lose right now.
00:07:39
Oh, yeah, that's kind of like fondry.
00:07:39
All right, Seth, hit us up with the card.
00:07:39
All right, I want to I want to know what you think about this card, because this is the card that I'm really hyped for and I think it's going to be good.
00:07:45
But then I'm not sure.
00:07:47
And that card is a bissel harvester.
00:07:49
So it's a three mana three to demon warlock.
00:07:52
It's a black card.
00:07:53
And then it's ability is tap to exhale target creature card from a graveyard any graveyard that was put there this turn and you got a token copy of it, but it's a nightmare.
00:08:02
And then you can have any other nightmares.
00:08:03
You lose all your other nightmares.
00:08:05
So the first thing I thought of is this is kind of like a fair or black fairy artisan.
00:08:10
Like it's the black version because you need things to die to use it, but this is a way that you can be giving a token copy of something every single turn.
00:08:18
And in some ways, it has upsides over fairy artisan right because once you get a good token copy of something, you can just choose not to make any more and keep that around for as long as you want to or until it dies.
00:08:28
And then you can make another one.
00:08:29
So I feel like just tap to reanimate something that went to the graveyard this turn with the upside of token synergies.
00:08:35
This card's got to be at least fun, right?
00:08:38
Like how good is this?
00:08:39
Can you just run this in a like generic black tech or do you have to have like token synergies and other payoffs because I feel like you can just jam this and it's probably going to be good enough.
00:08:47
I think you want to put this in a aristocrat stack like the way I see this is like if your deck runs like flashback marauder effects, you know, where it's like you play creature sacrifice itself and everybody has a sacrifice creature to I think that's this best case scenario.
00:09:02
Because like imagine you have this little harvester and you have like the three flash bags or four flash bags in your deck, you play that and then either you can get back the flashback marauder immediately to make everybody sacrifice again or you just get the best thing that the other best thing that your opponent sacrifice right.
00:09:17
So I think in a wrist or grants it's like a very great engine because you can like sacrifice something immediately make a copy sacrifice that and then next turn sacrifice something get a copy and then keep doing it.
00:09:31
I don't know about you like jamming it just like for value.
00:09:34
But like if I'm in a sacrifice sack, I'm like, I'm like, hell yeah, this is like awesome.
00:09:38
When you say sacrifice, you also omitted edict heavy decks too.
00:09:43
Yeah.
00:09:44
I think it's even better than that.
00:09:46
I think it's really good for me because if you read this carefully, it doesn't say from the graveyard from the battlefield.
00:09:54
It's just too.
00:10:01
That's pretty strong right?
00:10:03
That was going with it sort of body.
00:10:05
I had the discussion with sort of just sort of body.
00:10:10
It was already good.
00:10:12
And now you gave it an even better support card.
00:10:15
This is going to be sweet and like between that and all the soul shatters that I run and things like that.
00:10:21
I think this card is kind of awesome.
00:10:24
And it's only three mana.
00:10:25
I think that's the best part about this.
00:10:28
It costs no mana to activate just all around a solid card.
00:10:33
Like if you can read me one thing, it's probably worth it.
00:10:36
And if you ever get two or three or four things out of this because it sticks around, it's going to be insane, right?
00:10:40
I don't know.
00:10:40
You seem skeptical, Richard.
00:10:42
I got to call up Phil and I know he would say get the effort out of your mouth.
00:10:46
This is not very artisan.
00:10:47
Not even close.
00:10:49
This is like unplayable though.
00:10:52
What is the going rate for a creature that taps to reanimate?
00:10:55
Isn't it like four mana?
00:10:57
What is the creature that taps through reanimate?
00:11:00
I think it's really great.
00:11:01
There's like a two necromancer, but that's three mana and then you have to pay one man to tap it and sacrifice it.
00:11:08
What's what's hell's caretaker?
00:11:09
Like I thought we have cards.
00:11:11
That also sacrifice.
00:11:15
But there's not this many I can think of this thing around.
00:11:18
You need to untapped with this thing.
00:11:20
Then you need to kill something and all you got was one reanimation.
00:11:23
I think to owners, right, you need aristocrats to keep like sacking the nightmares to keep making them, but it's a lot of work to just reanimate.
00:11:32
They want to play reanimate.
00:11:33
It's not a lot of work.
00:11:34
It's just one mana reanimate all today.
00:11:37
It's 3 p to 4.
00:11:38
Try to jam this value card and you got to untapped multiple times to attempt to get value.
00:11:44
And we we mean about farewell, but like one, we play the wrath meta.
00:11:48
If something dies, everything dies.
00:11:50
But if if the commissioner believes source the plowshares is the most common removal at exiles, so you can't even use it with this.
00:11:57
So there's a couple hoops you got to jump through and the end you just get to reanimate like.
00:12:03
I guess I can use your fashion hoops for decks that Richard plays.
00:12:08
That makes sense.
00:12:09
But the hoop is you got to untapped with this thing successfully, right?
00:12:12
Like that's hoop number one.
00:12:13
That's true.
00:12:13
But who's going to four wipe die?
00:12:15
Are you going to are they going to board wipe this because pretty much this forces your opponent out in the situation where they have to answer this.
00:12:22
And that means, okay, you can board wipe or not up to you or you let me untapped with this.
00:12:27
You want to you want to waste up like you did all this work for it.
00:12:31
It's quite in time reanimated.
00:12:32
It has to hit the yard that turn.
00:12:35
If it hit earlier, you can't get it, right?
00:12:37
So I guess it's better back those colors.
00:12:39
If you can give it haste, then you can start reanimating the turn you cast it.
00:12:43
A read of the lightening or boost.
00:12:45
Yeah.
00:12:45
Yeah.
00:12:46
Yeah.
00:12:46
Boots.
00:12:46
Yeah.
00:12:47
There's ways to ease it up.
00:12:48
But you're just a bit heavy.
00:12:50
I need to work for it.
00:12:52
I'm just going to try playing in my black dags for a value.
00:12:54
We'll see if it sticks.
00:12:54
We'll see if it sticks.
00:12:56
But for the short term, I'm just going to jam it in black dags and see what happens because it just seems like it could be really powerful.
00:13:01
In worst case, I think it's going to be super fun.
00:13:03
So I'm with you.
00:13:06
Alright, Crim.
00:13:07
Hit us up with the card.
00:13:09
Alright, so my card is kind of the piggyback off of what we just kind of talked about.
00:13:18
I think y'all know I was excited about that card though.
00:13:23
I know.
00:13:25
You just seen 14 creatures.
00:13:30
You have a bunch of out of two.
00:13:35
Even if I have to sack my own board, I do not care because blasphemous edict is here, which by the way, they should they have to make a cycle now.
00:13:42
But like the, the main thing is blasphemous edict, which is a five mana sorcery.
00:13:48
You may pay black rather than pay the spells mana cost.
00:13:52
If there are 13 or more creatures on the battlefield, each player sacrifices 13 creatures of their choice.
00:13:58
So yes, let's let everyone's going to get caught up in the, oh, it could cost one mana, which I think will come up more often than people are giving it credit for because I think between four players.
00:14:09
That's only what two, two and a half creatures, three, three creatures per player, right?
00:14:16
And then some, right?
00:14:18
Like, like, but three and a bit.
00:14:20
Like three and a half, right?
00:14:21
Three and a half, two and a half.
00:14:23
So point is, I'm actually not even looking at it costing one.
00:14:28
I'm talking about it just as a five mana, make everybody sack 13 creatures that alone.
00:14:35
This, this slots in as a black, like a black sweeper to or three for me, I think this is really good.
00:14:43
It gets around all the indestructible stuff.
00:14:45
It gets around ward.
00:14:47
Like, you know, I mean, I really, I guess all sweepers do that, but it gets around the indestructible part, right?
00:14:52
Which is the most important part here because everything has indestructible.
00:14:55
And if you're telling me there's the off chance I can pay one mana to do this, I'm going to take it.
00:15:01
This is board wipe three for sure.
00:15:04
I mean, I'm with the crime.
00:15:05
I'm with you.
00:15:06
Is this, yeah, so toxic, they lose black wardrobe number one.
00:15:10
Is this number two?
00:15:11
I think there's actually like a pretty decent argument, you argue damnation.
00:15:16
I guess expensive.
00:15:18
Yeah, I guess you can argue me hook the Korean pain.
00:15:21
I guess we play a lot, even though it's kind of very expensive.
00:15:24
I think there's an argument.
00:15:25
This is the second black board wipe that I add to my decks.
00:15:27
Like deals with indestructible stuff.
00:15:30
It triggers sacrifice stuff.
00:15:32
If that's something your deck cares about.
00:15:33
So plus it's just like a solid raft.
00:15:36
And I think judging by our games of commander clash, there's a decent chance that like some reasonable percentage of the time it's going to be one mana and when it's one mana, then this cards absurd,
00:15:46
right?
00:15:47
So I think the upsides enough to make this wrath number two for me.
00:15:51
I want to say we have way too much indestructible these days.
00:15:55
I feel like they keep bursting it out.
00:15:58
And they keep giving it to white like candy like we just got flare four to two, which is amazing.
00:16:03
And we got don's truth, which is amazing.
00:16:05
And I put it in both my like I'm putting it on my white decks.
00:16:09
And I'm just like, if you're not if you're not like sacrificing or exiling my stuff or like cyclonic lifting my stuff, you're just not going to get rid of my creatures anymore.
00:16:19
There's so many answers.
00:16:21
So like I do very much value, just the fact that you can sacrifice it or like a meat hook and you can lower the toughness so they actually die because like indestructible is like there's way too much of it.
00:16:33
And it's way too good.
00:16:34
And I just like I want to have answers to like these common protection spells and this bypasses it.
00:16:40
It's lovely.
00:16:41
Definitely worth three.
00:16:43
And casting it for one is just like super sweet.
00:16:46
So I've learned about this card for like three days and I flop like maybe four times with either I think this is good or bad between them.
00:16:55
I've come to the conclusion.
00:16:56
This is the best rap that I will never play.
00:17:01
Well, like here's my wrath to your list for black.
00:17:04
If I'm only model black, right, tops of day, Luj, then boom pile, me hook.
00:17:11
Decree of pain, heartless disc, a heartless description.
00:17:16
And then even then I would still go to things like a Vivian stone, parallels, things that like sweet more than creatures, essentially, right.
00:17:26
So I don't actually can ever play this.
00:17:28
However, it has cute combos.
00:17:30
So I just said that, but next deck I build is going in because I'm playing throwing on core.
00:17:37
So that's the thing that's like five mana, reanimate everything that that died this turn, including your opponent stuff, right.
00:17:44
So you have the potential to do combos with this where you go one mana, wrath the board and then mass reanimate that same turn.
00:17:53
So you could do throwing on core, you could do rising to dark realms.
00:17:58
So you can do stuff like that where the one mana actually matters.
00:18:02
But as a general purpose wrath.
00:18:03
I'm like, it gets around flawless, which is important.
00:18:07
But we have toxic day, Luj for that.
00:18:09
And me hook does that too.
00:18:11
And then boom pile, like, you guys, you lost.
00:18:17
Creatures.
00:18:18
I'm not around.
00:18:20
Yeah, that may be right because you need to wrap the Chapman said the artifacts and everything with it, right.
00:18:27
You may miss the coin flip and that's all the time, the artifact or whatever deck needed to win the game.
00:18:35
Richard never misses a hatch.
00:18:38
Oh, no, I don't worry guys.
00:18:42
Let me untap with my 60 smothering tide treasures.
00:18:45
It's fine guys.
00:18:47
No, but then he could run, like, just like running a oblivion so something that actually gets the job done.
00:18:52
What do you need?
00:18:52
A lot of oblivion stone, right?
00:18:53
So toxic day, Luj oblivion stone, meet hook massacres.
00:18:56
Like how many are we crime?
00:18:57
Are we running 10 rats?
00:18:58
Like, you know, the rats plot is like very, you know, very tight, right.
00:19:04
And especially since if you want to run 10 rats, the real answer is like run six and like three tutors.
00:19:10
So you have access to 10 rats, but then you have access to something else if you don't need the wrath.
00:19:15
And then even in that case, you don't have room for the edict.
00:19:18
So that's why I declared one of the best rats that I'll never run because you know, like we, we, it's too far down the list.
00:19:26
I really need a monoblock.
00:19:28
You need to get rid of artifacts.
00:19:30
And that's why I blow up a run oblivion stone might to Shiro deck.
00:19:33
But I'm running this in into Shiro as well because for the exact same reason, I run filling on cars, one of my main win conditions.
00:19:39
Yeah, this is going to be so sweet in that deck.
00:19:41
Oh my god.
00:19:42
And I even run what's forbidden orchard to give people spirits because I think I can kill them to get to Shiro triggers.
00:19:49
So I actually feed.
00:19:51
I can feed the count on this for until to lower it to one.
00:19:57
You can also try to play around this with field of the dead or something.
00:20:00
Like you can, you can maybe a mass more than 13 features on your end.
00:20:04
Like if you're like a token deck or something, you can go wide enough that this becomes one sided wrath as well.
00:20:11
You're just convincing me it's better and better.
00:20:14
Oh my, my, my, my, my tapestry anime thing is too many hooves, but then we're getting up to 15 creatures to turn our.
00:20:23
I'm not even, I'm not even going to get get there.
00:20:26
I'll be going to argue though.
00:20:28
What if I get more than three.
00:20:31
Forbidden orchard.
00:20:35
It's alone creatures.
00:20:41
I mean, he gets out of the gagger plans like, oh, we can we get there Richard.
00:20:41
There ain't no way.
00:20:41
Also, I just have to give a chuckle that once again Richard holding it down for boom pile.
00:20:45
It's so bad.
00:20:47
Oh, y'all.
00:20:48
Okay.
00:20:48
You know, you know what?
00:20:50
It's funny though at magic on Phil.
00:20:52
Phil turned his on to a version into a boom pile because he's like, I need to go.
00:20:57
So we're going to cast out a new version and we can pretend his boom pile and then he lost the flip.
00:21:02
And then he died.
00:21:04
Well, you're just are we are we see are you four?
00:21:09
I'm just giving you a funny boom pile moment.
00:21:12
Is it in life worth way more than whatever sweaty percentages you get out of whatever you play.
00:21:17
Look at the fun.
00:21:18
I would like it.
00:21:18
Yes, but also when I spend four to five mana for a wrath, I would like to actually get the wrath.
00:21:25
You don't have the choice.
00:21:26
You're in black.
00:21:28
Right?
00:21:28
Like, like, yeah, if I'm going to play a farewell, if I can't, but in other colors, you don't have the choice to kill.
00:21:33
Like, you have to play with the ring tournament, Seth.
00:21:35
You're going to play that.
00:21:36
You're going to play boom pile.
00:21:38
You know, you know, boom pile is good.
00:21:40
Boom pile is good.
00:21:41
But I still think this card has a hole.
00:21:43
I don't think I ring boom pile as highly as you do.
00:21:45
Like, yes, I want to wait a blow of artifacts and a jam and so my black deck, but it's not wrath number two.
00:21:50
That's just this number two.
00:21:51
That's insanity.
00:21:52
But this people are oh stone like I agree with over.
00:21:54
If you don't believe in boom pile, you go, oh stone.
00:21:57
And then you go perilous vault.
00:21:58
Then you start getting more, more mana, but one mana though, one man and sacrifice.
00:22:06
I think it's one man is hot.
00:22:07
One man is hot.
00:22:08
Look at blasphemy over.
00:22:10
Can you wait for blasphemy's farewell?
00:22:13
It's coming.
00:22:14
Okay.
00:22:14
Speaking of sacrifice, speaking of aristocrats, I'm going to bring you why food number one.
00:22:22
This is Everith, vice Roy of plunder.
00:22:25
So it's a three mana black legendary creature vampire soldier.
00:22:29
However, it has a commander identity of Ractus.
00:22:33
So it's a two to flyer.
00:22:34
Sacrifice another creature or artifact.
00:22:36
You put a plus one, plus one counter on Everith.
00:22:40
If the sacrifice permit was a treasure, it gains life link until end of turn.
00:22:45
Activate only as a sorcery.
00:22:47
And whenever it dies, you may pay one and a hybrid Ractus.
00:22:51
So either black or red.
00:22:53
And when you do Everith deals damage equal to its power to each opponent.
00:22:57
So I played this on a command, an upcoming commator clash.
00:23:00
And I really, really like this legendary creature.
00:23:04
I think it's really, really sweet.
00:23:06
It an aristocrat shell.
00:23:08
You get third in the 99.
00:23:09
And then it's a repeatable sack outlet.
00:23:11
It's not instant speed sack outlet.
00:23:13
It has to be sorcery.
00:23:14
But you it's a sack outlet that grows and grows and grows like a carrion crawler or whatever.
00:23:19
I forget the one drop that someone to that, but it has flying.
00:23:21
So it's a legitimate threat.
00:23:23
And if you eat a treasure, it has lifelink.
00:23:26
So it's a huge threat that can give itself lifelink.
00:23:29
And then when you sacrifice it or whatever it dies, you pay two mana.
00:23:33
And you just do a like a silly amount of damage to all your opponents.
00:23:37
And if she has lifelink because of the treasure or whatever, you get that much life back.
00:23:41
It's like a giant gray merchant of asphodel when she dies.
00:23:44
I think she's like super fun in the commands on because she's like aristocrats meets Voltron.
00:23:50
You can use her as like a sack outlet early on.
00:23:52
And then later you just smash faith for a commander damage or just kill people with the burn ability.
00:23:56
And he goes to just throw in the 99 of aristocrats like this.
00:23:59
She's a sack outlet that also just kills people.
00:24:03
And I like that.
00:24:03
I like killing people and I like sack outlets.
00:24:04
So, okay.
00:24:06
Are you sure the lifelink works like that.
00:24:08
I actually don't know how or so if you give her a lifelink.
00:24:11
And then she died.
00:24:12
Like she dies.
00:24:13
Does the power thing you gain it all.
00:24:15
Yeah.
00:24:16
It turns your treasures into.
00:24:20
It turns your treasures into food essentially.
00:24:22
Right.
00:24:22
You can sack them, pump her, get lifelink.
00:24:25
And then a gray merchant out the door.
00:24:27
Can you imagine like this is a life of a lever to over.
00:24:29
If you have a like a penniless plunder on the battlefield, you sacrifice a bunch of creatures as you have on the battlefield.
00:24:36
They all turn into treasures.
00:24:37
Thanks a penniless plunder.
00:24:38
And he sacrificed all the treasures.
00:24:40
Just smack somebody for a bajillion damage.
00:24:42
And then he just like flink her at somebody else when they all die.
00:24:46
This card so ridiculous because it also sacks artifacts.
00:24:49
Right.
00:24:50
We've talked so much over the last year or two about how easy it is to make treasures to make clues and blood.
00:24:57
So it seems like very easy to just turn this into like a one shot kill threat.
00:25:02
And then maybe you can tell your table with it too.
00:25:04
So I think you're right.
00:25:05
It's a cool commander and I would play in the 99 and pretty much any sack back I think like I think it's because it combines together like this sack pay off where it's growing as you sack stuff with being a free sack outlet,
00:25:17
which is a really strong place to be.
00:25:20
Yeah, this card is super sweet.
00:25:22
There's actually this jump start line from foundations is stacked with like actual powerful waifu.
00:25:29
So I understand Tomas belief in the waifus.
00:25:33
And I do find it kind of funny that like this card will not only dumpster people on board, but apparently emotionally because of the anime arts.
00:25:43
I think I'm fine.
00:25:44
It's turned me into a weeb.
00:25:45
I think this is finally turned me into like I didn't like any of the anime art before the editor, you could show like smothering ties or like the dragon and heat or whatever.
00:25:57
Not a guy.
00:25:58
But this one.
00:26:00
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:00
Show that one.
00:26:01
I think it was repacious dragon.
00:26:02
Don't ask me why I know that.
00:26:04
Anyway, but this one.
00:26:06
This one.
00:26:06
I'm now now weeb.
00:26:08
You want me.
00:26:09
You want me over with it.
00:26:10
It's also a three mana to to fly get base like it is so now over to do right like like it doesn't even do anything like you literally just like play it for three mana.
00:26:26
Sack one treasure and a sack it.
00:26:28
It doves every one for three you gain nine.
00:26:31
Right.
00:26:31
That's actually pretty good.
00:26:34
Right.
00:26:34
Kind of insane.
00:26:34
You get 12 of one attack.
00:26:36
Right.
00:26:36
Like, oh my god.
00:26:37
Right.
00:26:37
Like disgusting.
00:26:39
Yeah.
00:26:39
The life game's huge and it's a vampire.
00:26:41
So there you some maybe extra relevance there, especially in like sacky vampire decks.
00:26:46
That was a theme for what like lost caverns of excellent.
00:26:48
You had like curve lower whatever that had like vampires, but we want a sack thing.
00:26:53
So it seems really good in vampire sack decks to you.
00:26:55
All right.
00:26:58
I'm next.
00:27:00
All right.
00:27:01
Next card.
00:27:03
I've got raised the past to white white sorcery.
00:27:06
So for mana value, we turn all creatures with mana value to or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
00:27:14
This is why I never play farewell boys.
00:27:16
We got it.
00:27:17
We got it.
00:27:18
We had to meet the catographers hawk and spirit of companion.
00:27:22
All the ketchup hands.
00:27:25
I mean, it's just said from a verdict.
00:27:28
Yes.
00:27:28
I always play a set of a furnace.
00:27:30
All like features cost to it less anyway.
00:27:32
I'm just paying more mana for it to a furnace.
00:27:35
So raise the pass.
00:27:38
So good.
00:27:39
And then.
00:27:41
I guess what you can't double trigger, right?
00:27:44
Dell needs three.
00:27:46
Right.
00:27:46
So you can't get deli to double trigger.
00:27:48
You can't you can't draw these on board.
00:27:52
You know, Dell needs to be on board.
00:27:54
But I, I Gemma saw my decks because I just play every deck is a white wini deck.
00:27:58
And this brings them all back.
00:28:01
This is a four four battery turn all creatures.
00:28:03
I guess the contenders would be returned to the ranks as said from a furnace, rally the ancestors, dust dawn puts them all back in your hand.
00:28:13
You have to cast them again.
00:28:14
But you know, these are staples and white.
00:28:17
So I think raise the pass will go up there as well.
00:28:19
So let me ask you, Richard, because I think this card's very good.
00:28:21
And I love these kind of cards and aristocrats, stacks, stacks.
00:28:25
But my question is, how many creatures mana value two or less?
00:28:28
Do you need to be playing before you're running this card?
00:28:31
Cause I think that's what I run into a lot of my decks.
00:28:33
I got a few cheap creatures, but a lot of my creatures are three mana, four mana, five mana.
00:28:38
How many do I need before I'm like, okay, I should put this in my deck.
00:28:49
Any any idea?
00:28:52
Athens for blockers.
00:28:52
I don't know.
00:28:52
Is this a Richard staple or is this a staple for me to like, does this just work really well in the decks that you play?
00:28:53
Cause you play so many to drop weenies or can like the people in the audience watching this.
00:28:56
Should they also jam it in their decks or they're going to be like, I don't have any creatures.
00:29:00
What is this card doing?
00:29:01
I think you got to play weenies.
00:29:03
You got to play weenies like any weener type.
00:29:06
So like aristocrats type decks.
00:29:08
Yeah, you might actually have a lot of weenies.
00:29:10
Yeah, if you play full catch up ramp sweet right like I can just list you like unlimited weenies that you should be playing right like s percential way fair weather way fair stone forge mystic loyal war hands beard to come and blah blah blah.
00:29:25
Like if you play all those cards, this thing is like reanimate your whole graveyard.
00:29:30
If you don't play those cars, then you got to take a look right.
00:29:32
You're like, am I reanimating anything useful?
00:29:34
Cause if it's like three creatures like that's not worth right.
00:29:38
So you got to take a look, but most white decks will play all the catch up ramp.
00:29:42
But all the catch up ramp for the most part is two or less.
00:29:45
So you do get all those bodies back.
00:29:48
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:29:49
Pushing a spirited companion and S percent no more whatever also seems good in like aristocrats dialed X, but what do you think to him?
00:29:56
Are you are you in on this card?
00:29:58
I like it.
00:29:59
I like it most sack in aristocrats deck again.
00:30:02
I think I'm just like we're just high on aristocrats right now.
00:30:06
Cause I feel like it's just like sacrifice your board and return everything.
00:30:09
It's like a cosmic intervention or whatever.
00:30:12
It also works well self mill.
00:30:14
I guess we need self mill deck if that exists for like some of my skinners half your library.
00:30:21
Yeah, you're you're cooking like sweet.
00:30:24
Hey, well, what you're not accounting for what happens if the race the past gets milled.
00:30:30
But but I am going to say though, raise the past to seem interesting.
00:30:34
It is feel kind of rich or D.
00:30:36
I like by the way does seem interesting, but it's got to be a deck loaded with nothing.
00:30:41
But spirited companions then makes me wonder, what am I doing?
00:30:46
What about your what about your human deck rim?
00:30:50
Don't you have a human deck that's like pretty aggro?
00:30:52
Like do you think this is good enough to make the cut there?
00:30:54
Cause you probably got like champion of parish and a bunch of cheap stuff or is it not?
00:30:58
No, because the best humans you want to see are three.
00:31:13
A lot of them are three.
00:31:13
Yeah, there's good ones.
00:31:13
Right.
00:31:13
I'm not saying there aren't good to drop humans.
00:31:13
But yeah, most of them at three and I would rather just play whatever ascend to a furnace.
00:31:15
But we did get a new card that I didn't get to put on my list fully because I could only choose a few.
00:31:23
Alessia is the one that I'm playing in my human deck.
00:31:28
They just found from foundations.
00:31:29
Yeah, it really makes every single turn.
00:31:31
Yeah, that's a human.
00:31:35
All right, Seth hit us with a card.
00:31:38
Oh, we got a good one.
00:31:40
So this is a card that only goes in one specific archetype.
00:31:43
But in that archetype, it's going to be so good.
00:31:46
And that is Dianis.
00:31:48
Now let's go with Dianis.
00:31:49
Elvish arch druid.
00:31:50
So it is a four mana three three legendary health druid.
00:31:54
And it simply says elves you control have whenever this creature becomes tap during your turn on tap it and put a plus one plus one counter on it.
00:32:01
This ability only triggers once each turn.
00:32:03
So just so it's clear because it's a little confusing.
00:32:06
It's kind of like not you in the sense that this is giving each of your elves that ability.
00:32:10
So it's not you get to untap one thing one time each turn.
00:32:13
You get to do that for each of your elves.
00:32:15
And what do elves do when the first thing I think of when I think of alves decks is mana door to have all these lanor elves that are making mana and just like producing tons and tons of mana.
00:32:25
This essentially works like a weird panor monicon for those effects.
00:32:29
It doubles that right.
00:32:30
You tap your lanor elves for mana.
00:32:31
This is going to not only put a counter on it, but it's going to untap it.
00:32:34
So now it's stopping for two mana instead of one mana when you get to things like marwin or elvish arch druid that can be huge amounts of mana.
00:32:41
This is a really scary card.
00:32:43
Imagine just like turn one lanor turn two elvish arch druid turn three run this out double tap your elvish arch druid.
00:32:50
You're dropping like six drops eight drops on turn three.
00:32:53
So I think this is just in auto include in basically any elf deck.
00:32:57
And I think it'll be kind of popular as a commander to I don't know if it's like this strongest elf commander.
00:33:02
But it's one of the more unique elf commanders because usually elf commanders are like, I'm an overrun you in the game.
00:33:07
This is like doing something a little bit different.
00:33:09
So I think it's going to be super popular and super powerful in elf decks.
00:33:13
I'm waiting to think it's doing something different.
00:33:17
Is it this just what elves do all the time.
00:33:19
I feel like I see elves untap they tap they do something else happens.
00:33:24
They have an arch druid which now relies on like a net what is it sentinel.
00:33:29
Uh-huh.
00:33:30
I don't know.
00:33:30
Yeah.
00:33:31
Nettle sentinel and they're untap.
00:33:32
I'm going to do this a thousand times.
00:33:34
You're going to bounce back to their hand and then you're going to get elf ball.
00:33:37
At the end of the day.
00:33:37
I know I'm getting elf balls.
00:33:40
No matter what this might lead you to believe.
00:33:43
It's just going to put it with the elf ball.
00:33:46
But it puts a plus one plus one counter on things.
00:33:50
Grim.
00:33:51
I've had a plus one plus one counter elf.
00:33:55
I love this card.
00:33:56
The only thing I'm sad about is I didn't get to put it on my list because I put it first.
00:34:01
But it's another waifu.
00:34:03
It's another waifu and I've never played elves before.
00:34:06
I've never really resonated with lateral.
00:34:08
But this waifu has got me tinkering with an elf deck for the first time ever.
00:34:13
And I think it's legit.
00:34:14
I think I think it's better than not throw honestly.
00:34:17
Like the fact that like set likes that because you could just the ramp potential is insane.
00:34:21
And the plus one plus one counters.
00:34:23
Yeah, we mean about it.
00:34:25
But I think adding that additional synergy can be very powerful because it opens the doors to like things that elves kind of suck out, which is like getting board wiped.
00:34:36
So like inspiring call, for example, three mana instant draw card for each creature drove plus one plus one counter on it and they get indestructible.
00:34:44
Like that's like insane protection.
00:34:47
And then imagine if like all your elves tap to get a plus one plus one counter on them.
00:34:51
And they have like mana available now.
00:34:53
And somebody tries to wipe you and you just have like, oh, I draw like a billion cards and all my things are indestructible.
00:34:59
It opens doors for like really good payoffs.
00:35:02
And I have such a such a fan.
00:35:04
And it has waifu art like if there's no downside.
00:35:08
Okay.
00:35:09
It's a slight upgrade to elf decks.
00:35:11
But I think I'm with crim here like it doesn't fundamentally change your deck.
00:35:16
You're a little faster.
00:35:16
Right.
00:35:18
But we have effects like vitalize, which is like it isn't just untaps all creatures.
00:35:22
Right.
00:35:22
So if you wanted to go ham tapping on tapping things you can do that.
00:35:26
But it doesn't solve the fundamental elf ball problem, which is you get board wiped before you kill someone.
00:35:32
Like maybe it does because you're like maybe it turned faster now.
00:35:35
You can kill people, right?
00:35:36
Like, but if you get born like you're still super sad and you're probably dead.
00:35:41
But yeah.
00:35:41
So I think it's if you have an elf deck, you put it in it.
00:35:44
And then your elf deck gets a few percentage points better.
00:35:48
But I don't think it like crazily changes.
00:35:50
Build around it.
00:35:51
That's around it.
00:35:52
What's going on here?
00:35:54
I mean, this is your commander.
00:35:58
You put inspired call it but it's in the night.
00:36:00
I do really put it in.
00:36:01
No, no.
00:36:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:03
There's also the land that gives you plus one plus one counters to ornry for whatever.
00:36:07
But yeah, I think it's good.
00:36:12
It's obviously good.
00:36:14
It's tennis with the cards.
00:36:17
Okay.
00:36:18
So I asked and I feel like whoever at Wizards is listening because we're getting more of it and I'm getting happy about it.
00:36:28
It's the card I'm choosing to bring up right now is scrolling crawler, three mana artifact creature for X and construct area,
00:36:38
three to at the end of your upkeep.
00:36:39
You're upkeep each player draws a card whenever an opponent draws a card that player loses a life.
00:36:45
So we've got more greed punishers.
00:36:49
We've got more draw punishers and I love it.
00:36:53
And I love that they're now switching it to not just their second card that they've drawn.
00:36:58
It's just whenever they draw a card.
00:37:01
And that means the first one of their turn, the second one doesn't matter.
00:37:05
All of them.
00:37:06
You're all taking damage.
00:37:07
I love this.
00:37:09
I want more of this.
00:37:10
I oh god.
00:37:12
Whoa.
00:37:13
I look, I know I've driven the point home hard enough that you know greed needs to go punished and this is this is that we're getting more of it.
00:37:22
Now give me give me more give me one on one mana.
00:37:26
I want up draw punisher on every step of the curve.
00:37:30
I already know I have the parasite, but the parasite relies on me having a red permanent.
00:37:34
I just want a one man or one one that just immediately dings you when you draw a card.
00:37:39
It can do nothing else.
00:37:40
I could give two crafts.
00:37:42
It could be a zero one.
00:37:44
I want draw punishers all the way up.
00:37:46
I want a 10 mana one.
00:37:47
I want a nine.
00:37:49
I want to go down.
00:37:50
So yeah, this makes me so damn happy to see.
00:37:54
I'm glad Krim loves this card, but isn't this card kind of bad?
00:37:59
Like so here's here's how I think this plays out.
00:38:01
So I get the draw punishing thing.
00:38:03
That is a powerful effect.
00:38:04
We've seen that with Orkish bow masters primarily, but other cards like that.
00:38:08
What I imagine happens with this is you slam this and mean filler playing with you and we like drawing cards.
00:38:14
And you're actually giving us an extra card each turn.
00:38:17
And we're going to be like, wow, let's take these extra cards that Krim is giving us and use that to either kill him or kill the crawler.
00:38:22
So then we can draw cards again.
00:38:23
So I'm a little worried that because it's giving resources to the rest of the table.
00:38:27
Those resources are probably going to be used against you or against the crawler because it's just going to make people salty because people are drawing cards.
00:38:35
So do you think this is actually like a good card, even with it giving each opponent a card each turn cycle.
00:38:41
It's colorless.
00:38:43
It's like it goes in any deck.
00:38:45
I think the card will go slot just nicely and it's a Krim staple because people already use their resources.
00:38:54
So why not just like, you know, like, hey, why not embrace it and on top of that, when has people spending their resources stopped a necusar,
00:39:07
a shieldry.
00:39:08
Yeah.
00:39:10
I'm anything along those lines.
00:39:10
I do think it's good in like wheel necks or whatever.
00:39:12
Like if you're actually like your goal is to do necusar stuff, I think it's good.
00:39:15
But just jamming it like a bullmasters and every deck.
00:39:18
That's where I'm a little more skeptical.
00:39:20
I mean, this is the bowmaster curve, Seth.
00:39:22
I bowmaster you at the end of your turn.
00:39:24
I play this and then all of a sudden now I'm hanging all your winners every turn.
00:39:30
Yeah, I think whether it's hard to be a lot better without the howling mine effect.
00:39:34
Like if it's just because it doesn't deal enough damage to kill it like like children kills you fast.
00:39:40
Right.
00:39:41
Like this one kills you very slow.
00:39:43
This is actually a better rate than greed or like fire exe an arena.
00:39:48
Right.
00:39:48
Like you take like two damage draw card essentially.
00:39:52
Right.
00:39:53
Like you draw your for your turn and then one extra here.
00:39:56
And I think like Seth said the whole table will just use their extra cards to kill this.
00:39:59
But this isn't fast enough to kill them.
00:40:01
So in an actual necusar deck, you probably have enough momentum to kill everyone with this.
00:40:07
So I really like it there.
00:40:08
But as a generic.
00:40:09
Hater.
00:40:10
I think it goes backwards.
00:40:13
Right.
00:40:13
I think I think it's like it doesn't actually do what you want to do because of that howling mine effect.
00:40:18
You're giving people resources to deal with it.
00:40:20
It's not bowmaster.
00:40:22
Right.
00:40:22
We will.
00:40:23
It's all there.
00:40:23
I'm under no delusions here that this is better than bowmaster because that card is nuts.
00:40:28
But I think that this card that you got to remember, if they're playing one of these, yeah, maybe this alone won't be fast enough to get you.
00:40:37
But I guarantee you, if they're playing this, this is not the only card that's going to ping you in the master's into crawler.
00:40:44
It's rough.
00:40:45
And also it's a fact so easily recoverable like buried.
00:40:48
Also true.
00:40:50
It's like easy to get a back if you want, right.
00:40:53
I'm actually with Seth and Richard.
00:40:55
I think they should have made this stronger.
00:40:58
I think they should have done something like two damage each card.
00:41:02
And then I'd be like, hell yeah.
00:41:04
So this is the cause of you listening, make it even more powerful.
00:41:08
It's also a loss of life.
00:41:09
It's not damage.
00:41:10
Oh, yeah.
00:41:11
So it gets irrelevant.
00:41:12
That's a rather relevant.
00:41:14
Right.
00:41:14
Yeah.
00:41:14
You could die through it to the one ring or something.
00:41:17
Right.
00:41:17
Yeah.
00:41:18
I like the concept.
00:41:19
I like the concept.
00:41:20
I like draw hates.
00:41:22
And I want more of these.
00:41:24
But I do think that I wouldn't just like jam it as like draw hate.
00:41:28
I would put in a wheel deck.
00:41:29
But I'm definitely on board if they do like like a mini shoulder.
00:41:32
I don't know.
00:41:33
Like you can't you deal to or something.
00:41:36
But you don't gain the life.
00:41:37
So it's fine.
00:41:38
I will also say if wizards wants to punish try to do it this way.
00:41:42
Like this is yeah way more palatable than like notion fee for whole breach of facts like tag damage on there make people die for drawing cards perfectly fine.
00:41:50
It's the least people get to keep enjoying the game.
00:41:53
So I think this is the right direction to go.
00:41:55
But if anything, I think they like Homer said they could have used it a bit more maybe.
00:41:58
Well, you got to remember this is meant for like this is a set that's going to be in standard as well.
00:42:03
So we can juice any commander because we have double life.
00:42:06
But instead make draw hate even.
00:42:08
Yeah, make sure he's good in standard too.
00:42:10
Why not?
00:42:11
Stubic control player is just standing around drawing back back in like 1999 or something like that.
00:42:17
So I got to bring it back.
00:42:18
I'll be fine 25.
00:42:19
It is with a card.
00:42:20
All right.
00:42:21
I don't want to be accused of just a shameless weeb.
00:42:25
So I got something for the average magic enjoyer.
00:42:30
Because like everybody loves dragons, right?
00:42:33
I who who in this in this magic community doesn't like dragons.
00:42:38
Well, I got something for you.
00:42:40
So that doesn't like drag dragons are fine.
00:42:43
I guess something about high fantasy.
00:42:47
What's that?
00:42:47
You don't actually like magic.
00:42:48
Is it dragon rather?
00:42:49
It was flavorless again.
00:42:51
Artless.
00:42:52
But anyway, so it's for for most of us twin flame tyrant is something that you should be keeping a track of.
00:42:59
It's a five mana red creature dragon three five flying and if a source you would control would deal damage to an opponent or a permanent and opponent controls it deals double that much damage instead.
00:43:14
So this is like just your typical like one sided furnace of wrath anything you're doing is going to deal double to your opponents.
00:43:22
But it's on a five mana three five flying dragon which means it has a lot of synergy potential also the main the rate for this double damage is already pretty good five mana for this rate.
00:43:34
I think it's good.
00:43:35
But then it's on a three five so it's swinging in the in the air for six damage and it's a dragon.
00:43:41
So if you have a dragon deck like I have a dragon that I have a perforose dragon deck.
00:43:45
I'm windmill slamming this in.
00:43:47
If you're like a Miriam enjoyer or a dragon enjoyer.
00:43:51
But even if you're not like a dragon deck if you're just like a burn deck or whatever.
00:43:54
I don't know.
00:43:55
It's just good rate.
00:43:57
It feels like it's just like a more of a generically powerful aggressive card and I'm all about that.
00:44:03
How do you compare to like furnace Rathoma or some of the enchantment effects like is there any worry that it's just going to get swept up too often and you're like I'd rather have an enchantment version or doesn't that actually matter too much in 2024.
00:44:18
Well, I don't like the ones that like deal damage to you like unless they double the end of the 20 yards.
00:44:33
Yeah.
00:44:33
Yeah, I could just drop it and then you all die.
00:44:33
Then I'm totally down.
00:44:33
But I do like that as a creature because like red has a lot of ways of like copying creatures until end of turn.
00:44:35
To make a copy of it with like a twin flame effect.
00:44:37
There's a bunch of there's a bunch of commanders that are like copy target creature.
00:44:42
It gains haste and then a sacrifice at an end step.
00:44:45
So I mean you're when you're doubling the damage twice.
00:44:48
It's really good.
00:44:48
Red is also the color of haste.
00:44:50
So if it's an enchantment.
00:44:52
Yeah, it might survive sweepers longer.
00:44:55
But I'm thinking about the now.
00:44:56
I'm thinking about the now and the fact that I can give it haste and that's another six damage all by itself.
00:45:01
And then if I copy it will a lot the damage it goes crazy.
00:45:04
So I actually like that it's it's on a creature because like I just wanted I want to smash I want to give it haste.
00:45:11
I feel like it's a good card.
00:45:12
I just did not sure exactly where I'd play it like if I was playing a dragon deck.
00:45:16
I think I'd play it.
00:45:16
But beyond that, I'm like I don't know if I play enough decks that would actually want it.
00:45:21
But I do think it's good at doing its job.
00:45:26
Copying it is super unsolved.
00:45:28
So, so like in a dragon deck, absolutely crack.
00:45:32
I don't know why it's saying considering it's like literally like the first dragon you put in a good and you have so many synergies.
00:45:39
So in red you you are probably playing cursed mirror.
00:45:42
So you probably have at least one thing to copy it.
00:45:46
You are probably playing arena glory.
00:45:49
So you could definitely haste this thing in.
00:45:52
Yeah.
00:45:52
Normally when you play a doubling effect, though, you win the game.
00:45:56
Right.
00:45:57
So like attempting to untapped with this seems like a like a folly.
00:46:01
So I don't know about playing this on curve and like trying to go to town.
00:46:03
But if you're going to win the game.
00:46:05
Would you not just play eyes and guard unleashed or whatever to over like triple damage.
00:46:09
Stop the fogs.
00:46:11
Make sure everyone's dead this turn and call it a day.
00:46:13
Right.
00:46:14
Like I feel that is the safer option.
00:46:17
I run both though.
00:46:21
I like damage.
00:46:26
It's kind of my jam.
00:46:28
But it's not the injury to which is three mana.
00:46:31
Right.
00:46:31
So it's a lot cheaper to pull off and then it also prevents the fog.
00:46:35
Like the worst thing you do is suit up your whole team to do like eight times damage.
00:46:39
Then someone fogs you and you're like, Oh my God.
00:46:42
Right.
00:46:43
So I think this actually goes.
00:46:46
I think there's a lot of a lot of decks in red that like care about the creature part of it.
00:46:50
Like Kiki Jiki.
00:46:51
Felden.
00:46:52
Curse Mirror, Delina, Jackson.
00:46:54
Yeah.
00:46:54
If you're like dragons, you do molten echoes and then you just copy it whenever you're doing a thing or fire on mirror march.
00:47:03
If if Phil believers are out there, Rionia.
00:47:06
So there's like a lot of stuff that are like we can only copy it if it's if it's a creature.
00:47:09
So I think it's better there.
00:47:11
Otherwise, yeah.
00:47:12
If I had to choose between them.
00:47:13
I go eyes and guard unleashed.
00:47:15
But it's also a dragon.
00:47:16
I don't know.
00:47:17
I'm just going to assume this is only a dragon deck, because I want this in my Lord of Pain Deck.
00:47:23
Are you?
00:47:24
Roiling vortex every upkeep baby now you get me for two each turn.
00:47:40
But that's so real.
00:47:40
I genuinely want this card though in my like burn deck.
00:47:42
So between this sulfuric vortex to this this card absolutely slaps.
00:47:47
And I think it is a fun card to have.
00:47:50
And because you know, as you had mentioned, it's attached to a creature.
00:47:54
A Racto stack is much more likely able to reanimate it, right?
00:47:58
That's that feels a lot easier.
00:48:00
So I like this card a whole lot.
00:48:03
Also nice that there's no no restriction to like a non combat damage or whatever.
00:48:06
You know, a lot of those recently that are like, oh, well, double your damage only for this specific thing.
00:48:12
This is just like it's it's all getting double.
00:48:14
We're just dealing didn't double everything.
00:48:16
All right.
00:48:17
Oh, back to me banner of kinship.
00:48:21
So five mana artifact.
00:48:24
As this artifact enters, choose a creature type.
00:48:28
This artifact enters with a fellowship counter on it for each creature.
00:48:32
You control of the chosen type creatures.
00:48:35
You control the chosen type get plus one plus one for each fellowship counter on this artifact.
00:48:41
So this reads like a coat of arms, but a lot of weird not cut of arms.
00:48:48
No, so it's only for you.
00:48:50
So you don't die.
00:48:52
And then it and like when you play it, you get the buff then and there and that buff is static.
00:49:00
So if you get wrath or you play more creatures or whatever, it doesn't change it.
00:49:04
And then you have to choose a type.
00:49:06
So you can't flip flop between types or if you have like some weird, you know, different like your opponents playing a zombie deck.
00:49:14
And you have a zombie.
00:49:15
You actually benefit from that from coat of arms.
00:49:18
So to that.
00:49:18
I think this is a worse coat of arms.
00:49:20
Oh, but I think it's really good.
00:49:22
I think coat of arms is better, but you still you play this as like the second coat of arms.
00:49:28
And coat of arms.
00:49:29
I think is a very expensive card if I remember right right?
00:49:32
I think five mana.
00:49:34
Oh, you mean like dollar wise coat of arms is a $20 card, right?
00:49:39
So this is a much cheaper card than coat of arms as well, but I think coat of arms is still number one.
00:49:47
And here's the reason you can pivot from coat of arms, right?
00:49:53
So like let's say you have fuel dead in your deck, right?
00:49:55
And coat of arms can buff your main try to say you're playing vampires or something, right?
00:50:00
But that plan goes awry and you're making feel the dead zombies at this point coat of arms, they'll buff that, right?
00:50:07
No, you can benefit from your opponents.
00:50:10
You can use as a political tool to buff someone else's creatures so they kill someone else.
00:50:13
So I feel coat of arms has a lot more play, but they're close.
00:50:18
You see arguments for running batter of kinship, right?
00:50:20
Because I've also died in my own coat of arms many times, right?
00:50:22
Like it has downsides as well, but what do you guys think better or worse than coat of arms?
00:50:27
This I was going to say rip coat of arms.
00:50:30
I think this is actually like better than coat of arms for actually the reason you mentioned.
00:50:35
So the big downside of coat of arms is it buffs your opponent stuff, depending on the matchup, that can be a really big problem.
00:50:41
I think the other huge upside is that the buff sticks around because one thing we learn from coat of arms is it's not a card that you can just run out, right?
00:50:48
If you just run out coat of arms and turn five with a couple of creatures and you're like, I'm going to build up a board and eventually it's going to get big that always back for you.
00:50:55
If you've got a wing until you have the big board, then you play the coat of arms and try to alpha strike.
00:50:59
You play this the same way, but if it goes wrong, you can't alpha strike, you get fog and then someone wrath of gods, you're still going to have that buff for all of your future creatures, which is huge compared to coat of arms.
00:51:10
I think coat of arms is like close to this and I think you're right that it has more play to it because of its archaic wording of pumping all your opponent stuff like it does weirder things, but I think just power level wise,
00:51:20
I think banner of kinship is actually just the stronger of the two cards in most acts.
00:51:25
banner kinship is definitely the better one, but I will say there are situations that that coat of arms has that I like where maybe you need to attack forces to take down somebody there are politic like angles from having coat of arms where you buff your opponent's board,
00:51:43
which I think does merit some respect right, but I do think in most situations banner of kinship will be better.
00:51:52
I love this card.
00:51:55
I wish you're not just jamming this and birds, I feel like this is like that best over the birds.
00:51:59
Yeah, you have a lot of birds.
00:52:02
Birds is coat of arms and then beastmaster extension beastmaster is only three.
00:52:06
Okay, that one I already have evasion, but I don't know, man, like you guys don't play like martial coup, right, like let's say you're playing like a white halfling deck, right, and you may use martial coup to wrap the board.
00:52:18
Now you have all these one ones.
00:52:19
Now your pump effects can pump the one ones to kill someone.
00:52:23
And I feel this last thing after the wrath is actually very bad for you, because when you get like full wrath, right, like you full sent dead, you're no longer threat, you're left alone, like he's been neutralized,
00:52:33
he's lost like 50,000 cards, leave him alone.
00:52:36
With a plus six plus six banner of kinship on the battlefield, they're still going to kill you.
00:52:41
So it's kind of like the door of destinies card.
00:52:44
So door of destinies is like an artifact and every time you play the creature type, it gets a counter and they all pump by the number of counters.
00:52:51
I never play that anymore, right, because it's an onboard overrun and people see how scary you're getting and they'll murder you before like anything happens.
00:52:59
So I feel the banner of kinship buffing post wrath is actually bad for you, like you want to leave you low so you have time to rebuild.
00:53:06
No, I'm not going to get wrath.
00:53:09
I want my creatures to be big when I replay them, not little, like that's so counterint, like I get what you're saying, but you're going to get killed.
00:53:16
If you're not going to get the chance to do that, I don't know, but I don't know.
00:53:19
I don't know.
00:53:19
Kill me.
00:53:19
I'll kill all the creatures or 10 tens or whatever instead of two twos.
00:53:23
Like my creature is so big I should be able to hopefully defend myself would be my argument, I guess.
00:53:28
If I could call the follow over dead strategy, right, when the bear comes at you fall over and you're like, yeah, got me right.
00:53:36
And hopefully the bear leaves you alone.
00:53:38
And then you get up, you get your gun and then you go through the thing, right?
00:53:42
Like, if you're like, oh no, let's fight back.
00:53:45
The bear just balls you into the ground.
00:53:47
I don't get got you guys just be like, oh, white flag got a repellent.
00:53:52
See you later.
00:53:53
I don't know what wizardry you use Richard, but if I have a big army and it gets wrath, I know that I'm going to be smashed until I'm dead.
00:54:03
So I'd much rather if I get wiped, I play my whatever thing I have left.
00:54:08
It's like an eight eight.
00:54:09
I'm like, all right.
00:54:09
I'm good.
00:54:12
I can block that's important to me.
00:54:14
I'd much rather that than be like, okay, I play one one.
00:54:18
And it's like, oh, he's got nothing.
00:54:20
Kill him.
00:54:21
I'm like, no, he's got to leave him alone, right?
00:54:26
No, they're never going to leave you alone.
00:54:29
So, so do you just play both this and code of arms in the next I would want them?
00:54:33
Like, is this the type of card that you can afford to play more than one of in your deck?
00:54:37
Or do you think there's too much competition?
00:54:40
So most likely this is the best card I'll ever play again.
00:54:45
It'll be like number one.
00:54:46
You just invented.
00:54:48
I think so, right?
00:54:49
Like number one would be code of that.
00:54:50
It's good.
00:54:51
Number two would be like moon shaker cavalry or boom pile like something that gives you the evasion, right?
00:55:00
And that's typically it.
00:55:01
Like you don't play like four of these in your deck, right?
00:55:03
You're going to get flooded, right?
00:55:04
You just play one or two.
00:55:05
So like in birds, I play rally the wings, beast master, sentient code of arms.
00:55:11
That's it.
00:55:11
Right.
00:55:11
And this doesn't fit in there.
00:55:13
If I play kithkin or something, it's going to be code of arms, moon shaker.
00:55:16
That's it.
00:55:17
So it's a very strong contender, but I only have so many decks lots.
00:55:21
So it's probably not going to make it.
00:55:23
But I wouldn't fault you for playing this over code of arms or something.
00:55:26
I'm like, yeah, that seems perfectly reasonable, right?
00:55:28
So like I said, it's a very good card that I will most likely very rarely ever play.
00:55:33
Also goes burr in like doubling season decks, proliferate decks like these are plus one plus one counters.
00:55:41
So you are not in a fellowship counters, but you can like increase them, right?
00:55:45
So there are different synergies that you can do to make this better.
00:55:51
All right.
00:55:51
We have we have a sleeper card here.
00:55:54
I'm very curious what you guys think of this one.
00:55:57
So this is a card that caught my eye.
00:56:00
However, a lot of people talking about it, but that card is high fit trickster.
00:56:05
So it's a four man of four to fairy wizard with flash in flying.
00:56:09
And it says you may cast spells as though they had flash.
00:56:12
So it's a lane lane event, anticipation of the Delkan or one of these cards is gives you mass flash.
00:56:19
The upside of this card is the itself has flash in the closest compares and I could think of as a card called a final word phantom from murders the car love manner commander, which is flashing flying and it says during each opponent's end step,
00:56:33
you can cast spells as though they had flash.
00:56:35
I think the upside of this card in the upside of not just having flash, but surprise flash is that you can use this to set up combo kills out of nowhere.
00:56:44
We just actually had a game on commander clash, where Richard comboed off during my end step or something by using a land right use one of the lands that can give all your stuff flash, but I feel like.
00:56:55
Yeah, I'll come as refuge.
00:56:57
I feel like this can do the same thing where you can have this card in hand.
00:57:01
You will not look scary at all because no one will know what's coming and then at the right moment when people are tapped down on someone's end step.
00:57:07
You flash this and you flash in your combo pieces you flash in your big play and you just win the game by surprise, so I really, really like that this not only gives everything flash, but it has flash so you can be super sneaky with it.
00:57:19
So I feel like I wouldn't play this in every deck, but in a flash stack or in a combo deck where I'm looking to like be able to combo off when I'm not going to be disrupted, I feel like this cards are really good in those decks.
00:57:30
I mean, this lets me play it instant speed.
00:57:33
It's a fairy.
00:57:35
This is this card is for me, right?
00:57:38
This card they they made this for me.
00:57:39
I love this card.
00:57:42
Foundations, I did not expect to see a fairy here.
00:57:46
It's kind of funny because I feel like this fairy helps makes the last two years worth the fairies now play like actual fairies.
00:57:55
I am I am excited.
00:57:56
I I just I'm very excited to see this card and playing it in some speed is always nice.
00:58:05
I like this one a lot.
00:58:07
I like the enables flash, but it has flash.
00:58:09
That's like the huge thing.
00:58:11
Yeah, it's a creature.
00:58:13
So yeah, we'll die at the board.
00:58:15
I like the design.
00:58:18
It's really good.
00:58:19
And it's also like the benefit from flash shoes, just like if people if people try to swing in at you, they're like, whoa, but what if he has a blocker?
00:58:27
What if he has a blah?
00:58:29
And like it's like the mental game on top of that is like lane lane of anticipation is the best propaganda in all of magic.
00:58:37
I'm really just putting that on the back of the field.
00:58:39
No one will ever attack you.
00:58:41
I was going to say I stopped playing in a lot of anticipation because you get it out.
00:58:44
Right.
00:58:45
And everyone was like, oh my god, it's got a lay line.
00:58:48
And then you're just like, I'm just going to end of turn explosive education.
00:58:52
God, everyone thinks you're going to like do something crazy.
00:58:55
So I like the fact that this doesn't have to sit on board giving away your plan.
00:59:01
Like you people are always scared of flash.
00:59:03
So you can just play your whole game.
00:59:05
And then when you're about to win, you can just hold us up.
00:59:08
People will think you have psychrift or something maybe.
00:59:11
Maybe that's bad.
00:59:12
Maybe that's fine.
00:59:13
Maybe they won't attack you.
00:59:14
You just be a psychrift.
00:59:14
You attack me.
00:59:15
Right.
00:59:15
And then you end of turn.
00:59:17
Do this.
00:59:17
Drop your combo piece on tap when the game or even when the game at instant speed.
00:59:21
Shimmer mirror comes to mind.
00:59:23
That's an artifact that has flash to give us all your art of flash.
00:59:27
Right.
00:59:29
Yeah.
00:59:29
There's also like quicken, which lets you ask the sorcery.
00:59:30
There's one for creatures too.
00:59:34
There's flash being actually banned as well.
00:59:41
I actually want to use liberator flashing by creatures.
00:59:50
There's one other one.
00:59:50
I think it's for Lord the Rings that lets you flash into a creature born upon the winds.
00:59:50
I believe.
00:59:50
Yeah.
00:59:51
So I actually have played all those cards like semi recently.
00:59:54
So high pay tricks.
00:59:55
There seems like right up my alley seems like a better lay line because the lay line just gets you killed basically.
01:00:01
So I like I like doing this when you want to do it.
01:00:03
So super sweet.
01:00:05
All right.
01:00:06
So I don't really often bring up green cards.
01:00:14
But this one is too damn cute in like a terrible Furby way and Remlin's way.
01:00:19
It's loot.
01:00:20
Exuberant explorer to in a green.
01:00:24
You may play an additional land on each of your turns.
01:00:27
Yes.
01:00:28
Yes.
01:00:29
For green green tap it.
01:00:30
Look at the top six cards of your library.
01:00:33
You may reveal a creature card with mana value less than or equal to the number of lands you control from among them and put it on the battlefield.
01:00:40
Shuffle the rest in the bottom in any random order.
01:00:42
So whether or not I'm excited just because it's loot it's cute.
01:00:47
All right.
01:00:47
Cool.
01:00:48
Let's see how this plays in reality.
01:00:51
I think this is busted also like I think this card is going to be a problem.
01:00:57
I think that they have they have cracked they made it seem like oh it's less offensive than Azusa because you only get one additional land every turn.
01:01:05
But the fact here is that you will now be able to spend six mana and dig through your deck.
01:01:11
And whereas Azusa just sat there after you ran out of lands loot will be able to continue the party train now I personally like so I'm kind of battling my demons here because you I like loot but I despise monograin if this were blue green acceptable if this were any other color than just monograin I would love it and love it easily but because it's just monograin I am conflicted but at the same time enjoying how cute it's heroic poses.
01:01:40
And on top of that is gameplay functions are really good.
01:01:45
What do you guys think of this style of ramp I feel like when it comes to like ramping and most of my bags I'm playing like the nature's law of facts like the tutor of land open the way of facts.
01:01:55
What do you think about extra land drops because technically they are adding extra lands to the battlefield right you got some risk that you got to have an extra land in hand if you don't then it's not ramping.
01:02:04
What do you think of these facts in general in commander though like am I missing out by not playing more zoos is because I just tend not to play those cards that often.
01:02:12
Yes I can.
01:02:14
Azusa but loot I think fixes that because of the second ability you think that's the that's what puts it over the top I can see that.
01:02:21
Well like I think like two of the strongest cards in green that just is underplayed probably because they're super expensive but I think that people undervalued them too is burgeoning an exploration.
01:02:31
Like I've just been jangling on my decks I think these cards just keep getting better every single year because the card draw quality of all our decks keeps getting better and better as we just keep getting better options.
01:02:42
And also we keep getting all this nonsense of like bounce lands and whatever and then that those get better those make the additional things better too.
01:02:50
So I think like additional land on each of your turns every single year it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous because like if I just keep if I just keep efficiently drawing more and more cards well guess what a certain percentage of that almost half is going to be lands.
01:03:06
So I'm always going to get more and more value out of these and these are stat like they're cost it at a much more aggressively rated much more aggressive rate than like an actual rampant growth effect.
01:03:18
So I think they're just like busted like burgeoning an exploration and just like to have the strongest cards in green and I just don't see them that much.
01:03:26
This card is a mistake.
01:03:44
I think this is the euro problem right like he's so cute though so so we've seen this we've seen a zoo so go wild so many times in clash and we've seen it so many times fizzle out like fill is like turn three I have like eight lands on the battlefield I'm done I have no hand.
01:03:46
And that's it I pass right loot gets around that right the downside of ramp is at some point you flood with ramp when you're when you're past the ramping point essentially right like you you over ramped and now you keep drawing ramp and that's that's what's supposed to balance it out.
01:04:02
The euro broke this because it kept drawing you cards and was a beater right like that actually was your wincon loot is your wincon here once you you have gas yourself you've ramped everything possible you can now just sit there and spin loot to keep going.
01:04:16
So I think loot is stronger than Azusa in a generic deck.
01:04:20
I guess if you're like super landfall heavy you know you can do it but you know sometimes you don't draw that fish land you don't draw that bounce land you run out of lands like super fast and then that's it loot ensures that doesn't happen and loot ensures you hit one of those creatures that will then draw you a bunch of cards to keep this train going so I don't know if I'll start playing loot but if you were to play one of the best card to ever play because I just opened the way guys it doesn't matter.
01:04:52
I would be looking at loot you know what I mean if I was trying to go from one of these styles of deck like a super landfall heavy deck I'd be looking at loot but I think in a general sense I would still rather just three visits into open the way.
01:05:08
And if you really want cute for ball you can play open packed journey so you get to get for ball.
01:05:13
Wow dude the lead rap right so I.
01:05:16
I will say I like that it's I like that it's a one for that's another upside compared to like something like Azusa where you actually have a big enough but that you can like blocks up what we've just seen.
01:05:26
You know my that's a very overpowered one for to block everything but you know my like dirtly starts a commander where I just want to ramp and draw cards and then people wise up to that and start beating you down in the early game.
01:05:37
Loots pretty good in the sense that like it'll sit out there and ramp you and soak up like some reasonable attacks over the first few turns I think so I like that part of it do.
01:05:47
Stuff's a dousing dagger attack.
01:05:50
This is why we got to start the hit.
01:05:53
It's never lifted.
01:05:56
All right it's over last card for the park.
01:06:00
All right I gotta go back to the wife who's I'm sorry.
01:06:05
This one is near div.
01:06:09
This is a three man of blue.
01:06:24
And then whenever you cast a spell from your graveyard or activate an ability of a card in your graveyard draw card and put a plus one plus one counter on near.
01:06:34
So near the is basically like if you're doing graveyard things if you're casting spells activating abilities if you're doing like a flashback deck.
01:06:43
If you're doing like under growth underworld breach stuff or I don't know what even the activate abilities would be.
01:06:49
But if you're doing those two you get to just draw a lot of cards and make a really really huge creature and then whenever it taps like let's say you use like a spring leaf drum or something to tap it for a man or something first I think you probably want to mill yourself to get more stuff in your graveyard so you can get more card draw and stuff.
01:07:07
But I guess like if you do get it big enough you could just like tap mill somebody to death which is funny.
01:07:13
I think this is if our three mana or three mana.
01:07:17
Swam dunk to me.
01:07:18
Are you crew?
01:07:19
Did you body swap with fruit?
01:07:21
No no I'm not making a mill deck.
01:07:23
But if it gets big enough I mean why not right there's actually a lot of synergies for this like when you think it through this is a super unique commander.
01:07:33
I don't think we've had a commander that really cared about the same thing like activating abilities and casting stuff from the graveyard.
01:07:39
But when you think about like an earth effects on core there's a lot of these mechanics that like specifically work from the graveyard and if this is your commander it's gonna be drawing you a huge amount of cards and getting big really really fast.
01:07:51
Plus you got like snap cast or major facts so you can flash back spells.
01:07:54
So I think this is actually one of the most unique build around commanders that we got from the entire set.
01:08:00
So I might for this one too I think it's just like super cool.
01:08:03
I don't know if it's like super strong because I think it's going to make you play a lot of janky cards to trigger its ability.
01:08:09
But those are the best commanders right that make like these weird unplayable cards staples in a certain deck so I think it's going to be one of the cooler commanders from the set.
01:08:18
The card is gas card is so gas right like oh god.
01:08:33
Honestly like it goes in the deck right it goes in my mill deck we've gotten so many new mill tools and yeah the wife who's the wife who's this set all kind of are really powerful.
01:08:43
They are absurdly powerful and this is another another unique effect that I don't think we're used to seeing so I'm excited to play with it and like again look at the little treasure chest.
01:08:53
The the purple grog is holding this is this is going to be sweet to play with I can't wait for this card draw yeah yeah.
01:09:03
I have no comment on this card other than tomer are you are you a nami main in League of Legends is this is this not we explain this.
01:09:13
You know we've had so many respect not me though but not not many like of this art style right like like like so this is the first for us so I'm here for it I don't know about I feel set this right that you're going to play a lot of.
01:09:32
Thank you cards to try to draw one card you're like think twice.
01:09:44
There has to be like combos a fit for one but number two is combo or synergy yeah no combo like probably I don't know if you can.
01:09:52
It's like for like zero over and over again I don't know I don't know what the main but the main thing is the main thing is I was just going to put it in my mellic deck because my my deck is a great it's a spell singer great for our Vulture on deck but it's very heavy on flashback and I always get like passing flames or something to like win my win the game and this will be the engine to just like just vacuum up a ton of cards into my hands and it's just like yeah I run like quite speculation I run a whole flashback pop package of it so it's going to be sick there if you're going to pass in flames of breach did you really need to draw extra cards.
01:10:28
I want to kill you and style it's funny alright so that concludes our top cards from foundations let us know the comments what do we hit on what do we miss any any secret cards that we're missing any any wife who's that to her missed here actually twin flame tyrant has a has a Japanese art style too.
01:10:56
I don't know are you versed in dragon culture I don't I don't want to make declarations on what's a wife who are not to over.
01:11:05
I can see I can see there's a special I don't know if I see you get track boiled twin flame tyrants in Japanese.
01:11:14
Let us know curious what you think about our cards and let us know what we missed and we'll see y'all back here next week.
01:11:21
[BLANK_AUDIO]
01:11:31
