I'm gonna peg you as I'm thinking, like, 33 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.759 you know what, whenever I hear a kill Switch Engage song, I think 34 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.560 Uncle Brando. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna that's where I'm gonna put you. 35 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.599 Kill Switch Engage my rest Oh yeah, producer Gary's in the booth. 36 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.439 We see him through the window too. Was so good. Yeah, you 37 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.719 know what, oh man? And I know that producer Gary is gonna love 38 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:59.000 this. Here's the tangent. Okay, Holy Diver, great song, kill 39 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:07.840 Switch Engage my favorite cover tune. Really. Oh yeah, and now don't 40 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.759 be don't be remiss here because I know Robert Brynman. Brynman, He's gonna 41 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.520 say, well, what about the Deal version. Deal, He's a huge 42 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.960 deal. He's a big deal guy. Right, and Deal did the original 43 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.639 Holy Diver and it's good. And Deal's lyrics, oh Man, so good, 44 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.159 like top of his lungs. Right. But the guitar solo in the 45 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.879 kill Switch Engage version of Holy Diver one of my favorite guitar solos all time. 46 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.560 Sick. That's a good one. I like that. And for the 47 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.639 record, you can definitely like a cover song a lot, and it in 48 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.360 no way danigrates what oh no, right, because you can like both because 49 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.520 they're they're different. Because if you're playing the song the same, it's not 50 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.800 a cover, it's a yeah, that's like the book in the movie conversation, 51 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.039 right, Like I can love the book and the movie and and one 52 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.639 doesn't take away from the other. They're different interpretations of the same story and 53 00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.919 emotional hits and themes and stuff. Right there we go, precisely, there 54 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.360 we go, precisely. Do do do do do? Do? Do? 55 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.560 So good man. I went to see kill Switch Engage one time. There's 56 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.439 a concert story with Uncle Brando, and the lead singer was just super sick, 57 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.039 right, oh yeah, And he finishes, like the second song of 58 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.560 the sets like, dude's for real, I gotta go throw up, and 59 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:26.120 he runs off to puke and the band just stands there.

Have we had a modern one 170 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.440 like it today? Like yes in a way, or it's like a time 171 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.679 travel thing, isn't it time? I have no idea. So the real 172 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.919 basically, Okay, what happens in Assassin's Creed is in the in the near 173 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:54.120 future, like twenty twenty one seven. They've developed this machine called an animus, 174 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.120 and when somebody gets into it, they can be sent back in time 175 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.600 into the bar of their ancestor and they can relive their ancestors lives. So 176 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.480 if I go into somebody's anus, I can relive the past. Correct. 177 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.159 I don't want to do that. Just like Butt Boy, that's a great 178 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.120 movie. I highly suggest you all go watch you with the butt Boy. 179 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.639 I'm telling you that's a good movie. I'm bringing I'm bringing it not back, 180 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.840 but to the forefront. So bringing butt back, that's right. I'm 181 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.440 bringing sexy butt backs. So the point is, the point is that's kind 182 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.039 of what the games are about. And then the first three or a trilogy 183 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.440 of games focused on this guy, Desmond I believe his name was Sure. 184 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.759 There is a card of him that's the dude in sweatpants that I reckon that 185 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.639 I referenced at the beginning of the video because it's the I was telling hardcore 186 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:48.519 earlier that he is the thing that everybody who doesn't like Universes beyond was afraid 187 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.879 of. Because now it's like, oh, it's Grover from Sesame Street versus 188 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.480 Pikachu versus off this prime yea Desmond is a dude in skate shoes and jeans 189 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.000 in a bunny hug. Bro it's basically you, Yeah, it's he's wearing 190 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.519 the same shoes I have right down here. So like this this is right 191 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:15.720 exactly like you, sir, you general magic guy, every guy Yeah, 192 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.440 on a magic card. Yeah, without having a print of proxy. Yeah. 193 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.960 Correct. And I think a lot of people were kind of like afraid 194 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.480 of that in the air quotes and here it is, So I think everybody's 195 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.559 gonna like that. No, I think that the people who are people who 196 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.919 don't like that kind of thing. This is the kind of thing those people 197 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.120 don't like, okay, right, And I think that that's fair to say. 198 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.840 And the Magic Going back to the games for just a second, Like 199 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.600 what happened was they had this great story kind of going on around number three. 200 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.840 The way that the company made games changed. They went from making games 201 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.200 that people liked to making games that people liked that they could then charge the 202 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.320 more money once they've already bought them to thereby increase the amount of money that 203 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.799 they could overall make in each game. So gaming makes money, COSI take 204 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.360 note. And it turns Ben Ben was telling me this yesterday at the Coachman 205 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.080 Licensed beverage room. They switched studios. They went from one studio to like 206 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.879 a different studio. They went from like some Japanese studios, some Chinese studio 207 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.440 and then it's all micro transactions or something. Is that relevant to the magic 208 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.639 card set. It's not relevant to the magic card set, but is relevant 209 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.279 to the kind of the game world, because they went from this kind of 210 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:28.960 compact storyline that actually would have translated into a really cool magic set into a 211 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.879 we'll call it a bi yearly game franchise where they just kind of do Egypt, 212 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.559 then Pirates, then whatever, then Gangsters, then Space, then Ninja's 213 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.120 Wait a second, wait a second, that sounds perfect. It's ammon cat 214 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.720 ixelon Capena. Yeah is not. Isn't it perfect? Right? And then 215 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.279 they're gonna do them all in one set. Oh and everybody looks the same 216 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.200 because all the assassins stress the same. But the so I think that a 217 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.799 lot of people kind of have a this is a it's fair to say that 218 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:09.480 universes beyond sets are marketing gimmicks for the property that's coming into magic and nobody 219 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:15.120 can really refute that that's that is reductionist, but I can't refute it. 220 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.600 It is kind of Usually the sets come out right around the time that that 221 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.960 IP has something coming out fall ahead a TV show Assassin's Creed has a new 222 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.279 Gameye, D and D had the movie. D and D had a movie 223 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.320 coming alone owns that kind of yeah or whatever it was, it was a 224 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.919 foot in the water, right, So there's most of them are an advertising 225 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.840 gimmick, which is I'm not saying that's good or bad, it just is 226 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:41.559 what it is. And when Ubisoft, which is a company that's known very 227 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:48.600 well for kind of their micro transaction y kind of proclivities, when they started 228 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.559 doing it, I think that this set in particular is going to have h 229 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:58.480 immediate negative connotation put on it from the gaming community, and I think that 230 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.559 they'll doubly have a hard time because the sets moving forward with the universes beyond, 231 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.720 which is that we're going to talk about today, are essentially being done 232 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.639 as aftermath boosters, and nobody like those except me, I'm the only one. 233 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.679 So Okay, Well, now that they're kind of they've expanded that format 234 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.080 and now they're doing it with Assassin's Creed, I'm going to hazard to guess 235 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.159 they might try and do this with Final Fantasy as well. I think that 236 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:33.159 they said that that's a full set, okay, like like Tails in Middle 237 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.639 Earth ones because this one's a full set too. I set if you did 238 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.559 the old member blocks right, yeah Meircadian Masks was great, big, had 239 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.799 hundreds of cards in the one hundred and fifty, But then Nemesis and Prophecy 240 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.039 were small. They had one hundred and twenty cards forty three. There you 241 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.639 go, And this is the same kind of gimmick, right, you get 242 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.679 like great big sets, and now there's a small set that comes in a 243 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.799 small box with a small booster. Oh okay, Well that leads us into 244 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.519 a preface this. We're not going to talk about very many cards today, 245 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.480 if any. Right, we'll talk about some of them are really cool. 246 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.960 And I was telling when we got review shows coming up, remember we we 247 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.359 we've got some room to kind of breathe and flex and spready. Yeah, 248 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.599 we'll review some of the cards coming up. I'm gonna say first off that 249 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:21.960 I actually think that this set is, for the most part, right where 250 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.920 a set like this should be. Oh, in what way? There's nothing 251 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.720 game breaking? Most of the cards are pretty interesting. If you're the kind 252 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.319 of person that likes the kind of thing that this is, which in this 253 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.799 case is Assassin's Creed, there's gonna be something for you. Yeah, flavorfly 254 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:40.839 thematically, artistically, mechanically, For the most part, the cards don't look 255 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.319 so unlike magic cards that there's not gonna be something for enfranchised players that don't 256 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.799 give a shit about Assassin's creed like us. Yeah, there's nothing like the 257 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.839 One Ring that's gonna like or Orcers Bowl Masters that's gonna like totally shift a 258 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.079 format. I really don't think. So. Okay, I might not be 259 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.799 the best gauge other formats outside of Commander, but ile time, I don't 260 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.240 think at this point right now, as we talk about this, with like 261 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:08.200 eighty percent of the set being spoiled, I don't see anything that's going to 262 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:15.680 vastly impact the direction of EDH as a format. But I do see a 263 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.799 bunch of stuff that could impact just decks you're going to see popping up. 264 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.079 Well, I think that's fine. That's what sets are supposed to do. 265 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:29.000 And there's some very key reprints in stuff like Reconnaissance and sort of Feast and 266 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.079 Famine that are needed that you're gonna see prices coming down on cards that people 267 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.119 want. Yes, So I will say, full disclosure, we are recording 268 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.559 this on a date that I believe the full set has not been previewed. 269 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.319 We're looking at ninety six cards on Scryfall that have never seen a printing, 270 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.240 right, so first printings are these is this? This is this is the 271 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.920 ninety six cards that are first printed. And then I have another list of 272 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.880 two hundred and forty nine cards that are a mixture of cards that we've never 273 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.119 seen, plus reprints, plus the special printings or promo like Dark F and 274 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.839 M promo printings and all of the special stuff. It's much like in Aftermath. 275 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.319 Virtually every card on the set has between three and five printings. Okay, 276 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.400 so you're gonna have the regular one, you're gonna have an extended art 277 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.960 one, you're gonna have a etched one. In some cases there's also a 278 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:26.200 borderless one. So there's lots of different versions of each card. And I 279 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.519 don't think there's like this is one of those sets where rarities just don't even 280 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.880 really matter. There's there's there's no commons, there's only uncommons, then rares 281 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:41.400 and mythics that nobody loves. That man, every time you say that into 282 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.680 a microphone, WATSI only hears that they're gonna the WATSA imployment that is assigned 283 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.039 to listen to our show, is gonna turn it off right after you said 284 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.279 that and take it to their boss. Yeah, cookout still on the etched 285 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.720 train. The the watsa employe who's listening to it like on their on their 286 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.200 Google home speaker in their kitchen, their phone's gonna hear it and like give 287 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:06.039 them advertisements on their Facebook page for only foil card or etched foil cards from 288 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.599 like different online retailers, and Commander Cocoat is just contributing to the scum of 289 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.519 the Magic Universe. Sorry guys, yeah, sorry, Wait, we apologize 290 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.079 all the time and ah yeah, well we say thank you and we're sorry. 291 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.480 So how do we get this set?

Okay, 319 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:02.839 So if you go to your local game store and you buy yourself a 320 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.160 booster box of Assassin's Creed, buy Ubisoft Magic Gathering, whatever, whatever, 321 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.039 Okay, you're gonna get yourself a twenty four pack box. Okay, this 322 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.200 is not so outside the realm of normal, not so terrible, and you're 323 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.240 gonna get seven cards per pack. Okay, that's weird. That's a little 324 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:21.640 weird, and that's what you're gonna get. But in there, what you're 325 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.079 gonna get is a full run of virtually everything available in the set, sands, 326 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.839 full or extended art foils and etched foils. Okay, okay, I 327 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.799 didn't want those anyways. You can still get all the borderless stuff, which 328 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.160 is really cool. There is a scene. It's like an ancient rome scene. 329 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.799 It's got the five horizon lands of and one of the assassins and one 330 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.160 of the assassins in it. It's really cool. Hopefully if you're watching on 331 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.519 YouTube joke and have it on the screen for you now, it actually looks 332 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.079 really really nice. That is a nice one. Those will be available in 333 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.039 nonfoil in your regular plasma booster or what the hell they're called. Yeah, 334 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.119 jerk off booster that's what I'm gonna call it. If you decide that that's 335 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:02.720 not for you, you can get a bundle. The bundle will also possess 336 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.680 frame boosters or whatever the hell they're calling them, and all the regular stuff 337 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.799 you get in a booster. That's your dice. That's your buy a booster 338 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:15.279 box bundle promo. And like the basics and foil and nonfoil or whatever, 339 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:21.039 the special treatment is precisely okay, So bundles and and and then jerky boosters 340 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.440 single packs, and then you can get a collector booster box of this and 341 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.279 those are your standard twelve pack booster boxes. Yeah, that will come with 342 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.279 ten card packs. Oh that's weird too. Yeah, So now what would 343 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:40.200 I expect to pay for that collector booster like the same. The exact dollar 344 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:45.440 amount eludes me at this exact moment, but they are less than the average 345 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.079 collector booster box again as of right now. Okay, so we would get 346 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:55.319 less cards and pay less money. Yeah, the math checks out there as 347 00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.160 long as it like as long as it actually checks out. Yeah, and 348 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:07.119 like that's from my cursor cursory evaluation of Assassin's creed capability. Yes, you 349 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.559 will pay a little bit less for this, not as less as people I 350 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.279 think were expecting. I don't think people were expecting to pay as high a 351 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.599 price four packs that do not have fifteen cards in them. But this is 352 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.720 the world we live in. People hated Aftermath, and it's sold very poorly 353 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:29.039 even though it's sold okay, and so Watsy decided not to do it anymore. 354 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.599 But they had already kind of print to ordered this product. So that's 355 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.319 why it's happening like this. Okay. So there is a possibility that this 356 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.519 isn't going to be the thing moving forward. But in the articles that I 357 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.400 have read, this is what Watsy is planning to do with universes beyond going 358 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:52.079 forward. And when you say there's some kind of what's a word we haven't 359 00:24:52.160 --> 00:25:00.200 used yet, crate boosters, regular just whatever's and collectors because this is to 360 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.680 draftable products, so they don't have draft boosters, correct, right, They've 361 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.279 got just like frickin no play boosters. None of that shit is. Yeah, 362 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:08.759 you're buying them to open them up to hope you again. Yeah, 363 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.319 you're buying them to finger blast booster them. Yeah, you'll buying them because 364 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.960 you like Assassin's creed or you want to sort a feast and famine. That's 365 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.440 why they're here. Twenty four packs with five cards a piece. Now, 366 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.359 this is Canadian prices, which is about thirty five percent more than American prices. 367 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.720 So if in America it costs one hundred dollars, in Canada, it 368 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.720 costs one hundred and thirty five dollars, same amount of money in real life, 369 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.720 like if I were to go and exchange currency. And while that does 370 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.279 sound like an outrageous number, that is true. Yeah, it's thirty five 371 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.720 percent. Roughly, it's sometimes thirty two, sometimes thirty seven. Sure, 372 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.319 sue me, okay, so Canadian dollars. I wish we could sue them 373 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.359 for the finger blast boosters. Yeah, one hundred and eighty bucks. Is 374 00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.119 that what you would pay for a normal booster box? About? I think 375 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.880 that's a little bit more than what I would pay for a normal booster box. 376 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:57.359 Aren't they like usual one hundred and forty Nope, because now they have 377 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.400 those play boosters and that made price go up. Oh okay, of course 378 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.920 it is because fuck me, okay exactly, yes, yes, booster collector 379 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.279 box, twelve packs, not all the foils, all the potential for serialized 380 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.440 Socrates with the K and all the stuff, all that stuff. Okay, 381 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:18.119 three hundred fifty bucks Canadian ooh, that is that's what I would pay for 382 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.640 a regular ass, mother ass. That is collective boosting. That is the 383 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.920 exact same price you would pay for a collector booster box. So that's Canadian 384 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.240 prices. Remember, so take about thirty five percent off if you're American. 385 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.519 So they've gone up since I looked at them this morning, they've gone up, 386 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.079 But I think that might be due to serialized cards coming out and people 387 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.480 saying, oh, yeah, there's this, Now I can get this, 388 00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:47.039 now I can get Also, remember that universes beyond products in collector pack form 389 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.960 usually do cost a little bit more. Look at the doctor who stuff. 390 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.680 Look at the Lord of the Ring stuff, look at the wall out stuff, 391 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.680 fallout stuff, all a little bit more than than the uh. The 392 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.680 units usually Canadian prices about three ten to three twenty, right for just like 393 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:10.480 a box of Bloomborough or a box of New Copana Thundy Junction. Yea at 394 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.240 this point, just like eight bucks. Yeah, let's be honest. Yeah 395 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.839 yeah, yeah, people will give that to you for a So you just 396 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:17.839 sing a song and they'll give it to you. I have to singing in 397 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.519 public with your shirt off, but they'll still give you a box for a 398 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.720 song. Yeah, and then the bundle is eighty bucks. Now, I 399 00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:27.519 have no idea how you know what? I know that the bundle that I 400 00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:32.880 got when Lord of the Rings came out last June, like it almost exactly 401 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.079 a year ago to this day, was eighty dollars. Then they came out 402 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.400 with the holiday bundle a little bit after that, and that one had the 403 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.880 funky dice and like the different collector packs or different packs in it or whatever, 404 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.920 that one was more. Yes, well those ones are more because it 405 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.359 has the collector pack and the limited edition dice, and it came with the 406 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.920 scene card and stuff. But the body og one. Yeah, the og 407 00:27:55.160 --> 00:28:00.920 one was eighty bucks. So this is almost exactly on par with other universes 408 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:07.799 beyond products that we've seen that land somewhere in between a regular product and the 409 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.359 most premium of products, which I would consider in the last twelve months or 410 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:17.960 so to be like Lord of the Rings collector packs. That's probably the highest 411 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:22.039 of pimpest of highest of end thing that you could buy like off the shelf 412 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.599 because it had serialized, it had poster cards, it had one ring and 413 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.519 orchest brawl masters like all these cards top you know, like a hot staples 414 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.759 format staples that are all over one hundred dollars. And if you've got like 415 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.039 a foil serialized one ring poster, that's like a two thousand dollars magic card. 416 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:44.720 Right, So that drove the price. What should we expect to see 417 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.880 on that end of it? That justifies this a little bit higher than normal 418 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:51.400 price. How do we how do we get the goods? Yell? Now, 419 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.559 the highest of high end stuff obviously you're only going to find in your 420 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.079 collector packs, yes, and what you're looking for in this case, there 421 00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:03.000 are five cards, okay, five hundred of each card, five hundred serializers 422 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:08.319 five hundred serialized versions of five individual cards, and they're the I forget what 423 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:14.640 the word is, the historical figures from the Socrates, Socrates, Cleopatra, 424 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.880 Leonardo da Vinci. Yes, and the other two haven't been released yet. 425 00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:22.799 We don't know. They're going to come out with double Rainbow, super duper 426 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:27.599 foil, serialized by some kind of number out of five hundred, and they're 427 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:36.000 going to be released in the language that the person would have spoke in their 428 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:41.680 home region of the world. Example being Socrates is going to be in Greek 429 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:47.400 Latin and no, he would be in Greek or Greek and Greek. Cleopatras 430 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.079 in like a version of Greek that has some like Egyptian symbol stuff in it, 431 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:56.839 and Leonardo da Vinci is Italian? Are people going to complain about the 432 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:03.720 Cleopatra looking too much like the invocation Asian ship? I actually kind of like 433 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.279 her card. I kind of like it. I kind of want one, 434 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.799 not the serialized one because too many monies. But yeah, I got my 435 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.200 serialized card. I'm I'm done. Now you got a herobi, I do 436 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.319 have her. You know what, I don't have one damn serialized card. 437 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.799 I was hoping to get like a brew bac. But I didn't. I 438 00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:25.359 didn't want to fork up the cash in Seattle, and I'm not going to 439 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.319 freaking Vegas. Thanks f you, Alex. He's picking me up for my 440 00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.559 wedding tomorrow, though, So I can't be that mad at what a piece 441 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.400 of ship. I wonder what serialized I should get. Can't afford a one 442 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.599 ring, certainly can't afford an Elvin soul ring. No, man, I 443 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.839 am not freaking made out of money? What a Dwarven soul ring? I 444 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:48.559 do have a non serialized version of that, but still more than more money. 445 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:51.960 It's many's there there. You got to really have one that you really 446 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.559 really woor You just gotta like or you gotta hit it the right time. 447 00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:56.599 You gotta hit it. Yeah, I gotta. You gotta open one. 448 00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.599 I mean you gotta hit it like a pack, right. Yeah. I 449 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.240 actually I own three serialized cards. Three. I have a Herobi and I 450 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.240 have an Urta Brass I traded for it or LGS, and I got a 451 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.240 like a fourth doctor or something that I cracked in a box. Oh, 452 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.000 you cracked one in a box, not even on a BBO. No, 453 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.359 just at the store. You are so sucky I know, and do you 454 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.519 know what the thing is. I'm not gonna play it ever, and nobody 455 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.119 wants it. Oh like nobody wants it? Hey maybe Ziberg Jesus wants Hey 456 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:27.759 store, do you want it? She's like nah, man, like that's 457 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.799 it's too much for me to take and selling that nobody's ever gonna want it. 458 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.839 Come on, man, and nobody's buy lists serialized card. Right, 459 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:42.000 It's it's like one thousand dollars, but nobody will ever buy it exactly. 460 00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.880 Then what's it worth? Nothing? If it was number sixty nine or seven 461 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.720 or one or three hundred out of three hundred whatever, then sixty nine of 462 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.799 the tenth doctor, I would have retired already. Yeah, I'd be retired 463 00:31:53.839 --> 00:32:00.000 on the moon. Man. I love sixty nine of what serialized card? 464 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.240 Yeah, buddy, Yeah, Okay, I got one last question. Okay, 465 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.519 I got one last question about well, kind of serialized. But I'm 466 00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:15.279 seeing so fricking many different treatments just on this one screen. I'm seeing an 467 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:21.000 assassin's trophy in the dark in the dark F and M foil promo treatment, 468 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:22.279 you know how they do. Those are the ones, Those are the etched 469 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:30.559 Okay, I'm seeing an Aya of Alexandria Aya Aya of Alexandria in like some 470 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:37.960 weird, really geometric sort of frame treatment all of Zendakar rising. That frame 471 00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.799 is like the showcase frame. Hold on, I ain't even done yet. 472 00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.880 I see I see the old school kind of like Renaissance looking painting of Mary 473 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.000 Reid and Anne Bonnie. Those are just your typical borderalist cards. Oh that's 474 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:52.799 a border list. That's the borders card, because the other ones totally have 475 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.319 borders. Frick there's Showcase and there's there's I don't know how they change them, 476 00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.200 but the Showcase one from this set is meant to there's our boy Desmond 477 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.160 with his fucking jeans and his hoodie and his man purse and his t shirt. 478 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.599 Fricking guy, he's got one of those belts at Randy River used to 479 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.400 sell, like in two thousand and one, a car seat belt. Yeah, 480 00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.240 and they flop down. People tuck those in. What a douche and 481 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.559 we wore them. This is the kind of guy you'd make fun of, 482 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:22.079 Like, this is the guy that drives the jacked up white truck with the 483 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.759 truck nuts hanging off. I don't even think stick or slapped on the back. 484 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.559 He kind of reminds me of you wearing clothes from two thousand and one. 485 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.720 He's got a picture a Calvin peeing on a logo of an auto brand. 486 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:39.200 He doesn't like, right, douche, What a douche, bro. 487 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:43.880 But the point is, how do we get all these most You can get 488 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:49.519 virtually all of these treatments in both types of packs. But if you want 489 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:54.279 the etched and the foil of your Borderless cards and I believe foils of the 490 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.640 Showcase cards, you gotta get him in the Collector But everything else is a 491 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:05.119 vailable in the regular pack as well, much like in US what was it 492 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:10.079 called Aftermath, where you could basically get everything in both versions of the packs. 493 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:15.760 You just have a higher chance of getting them in your your collector packs. 494 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.760 And there's some cool stuff in here, like the the I think, 495 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:20.960 oh, there's some good cards that I'm gonna play in this. In this 496 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.440 set, the showcase frames are very reminiscent of the game. If you've ever 497 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:29.639 played the thing, it's like the geometric showcase frames, the geometric showcase frames. 498 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.760 If you've played the games, you'll remember when you when you're walking along, 499 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.800 right, because you've got to remember the whole game. It's it's it's 500 00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:38.239 a video game, but it's also a simulation in the game, so of 501 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:44.079 course there's going to be like all sorts of interference and pixelization and stuff that 502 00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.199 we kind of comes up. We would call that a frame narrative, and 503 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:52.800 that is all very reminiscent of what these frames look like, like just kind 504 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.599 of every so often to be walking like some just a glitch in the matrix, 505 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.239 Yeah, just some glitches and weird lines and stuff will kind of pop 506 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:02.239 up around stuff usually used to indicate something important in the game, but this 507 00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.239 or something bad is gonna happen exactly. Yeah. Yeah, and you can 508 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:07.760 actually you can see it on my my favorite art in the whole set, 509 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:10.800 Ryan has it up. So I'm going to talk about it is on this 510 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.760 one, but it's in French. What's the translation? That is reconstruct history 511 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.920 if I remember correct, Oh, that's this is a reprint. Yeah, 512 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.280 it's a reprint cards and you can see the gold things. That's that's a 513 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:25.280 loading screen an assassin's creed. No, it shows that picture of something a 514 00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.880 pyramid the matrix kind of light stuff going up and down on it. I 515 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:34.320 just really liked that picture. That's really cool. Assassin's Creed origin was the 516 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.039 Assassin's Creed that I liked. I'll talk about my favorite card in the set 517 00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.280 so far that i've that i've read, because I haven't gone through all of 518 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.119 it yet. Oh that's a that's a good one, is it? Senu 519 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:49.639 Senu keen eyed protector bird scout two to one for white one. Legendary creature, 520 00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.000 flying and vigilance. Okay, so it's good vigital. That's actually important. 521 00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:58.039 Tap it, exile it. You gain two life and scribe too. 522 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.079 Sick. Yes, so I can attack and then I can block, and 523 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:06.079 then I can exile it before it dies. That's also when a legendary creature 524 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.639 you control attacks and isn't blocked like all the other birds in my bird deck. 525 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:14.280 If Senhu is exiled, put it onto the battlefield, frickin' attack and 526 00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.840 not even tapped attacking, so you can you can actually do that and just 527 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.880 exile it again right away. Dude. It doesn't have haste, it's got 528 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.480 a tappability. It's all your Yeah, that's sucking, but dude, this 529 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:29.679 is a good card. It's a relevant creature type to me. It fits 530 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.760 right on curve with like the agroness of that deck. It protects itself, 531 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:37.880 it attacks, It has scry, which is something that White always wants to 532 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:44.880 protect it, attack it exile. It's also from Assassin's Creed origins. Baby, 533 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.239 that's the Egypt one. Ye, that's that's his sidekick bird. He 534 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:52.320 like sends the bird off. I remember the commercials. Yeah, yeah, 535 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.880 right, like that man. I've actually talked about that game on the on 536 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.320 the show. But yeah, cool encyclopedia mode where it teaches you all about 537 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.920 Egypt and stuff. Yo, yeah you did. It's a good game. 538 00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:07.559 And Bonus points to the Nationaliites who know what episode that is right, comments 539 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.119 that maybe when you mos or if you got an Assassin's Creed game that you 540 00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:14.639 liked that you think I should maybe give another chance to I played one. 541 00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:16.599 I really liked one. Yeah, I played two. I didn't like two 542 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:20.800 because it was just exactly the same as one. It was just more one. 543 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.639 Well, when they got the formula that was that worked and they didn't 544 00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:24.639 do it. And that makes sense. But if you look at Magic, 545 00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:28.159 it's fucking thirty three years old. Man. They do the same thing every 546 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.639 year, except charge is more money for it. We still freaking pay. 547 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.000 I feel like I bought the same game twice and so I just didn't. 548 00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.199 It was this isn't for me, And I tried it again in Origins because 549 00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:38.719 they did a different thing and you liked it and I really enjoyed it. 550 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:42.159 And then when I forget what the next one was, but I got that 551 00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.719 one was like, this is just like Origins, was just a less cool 552 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:49.880 setting and more micro transactions. So that's when the switch happened. Yeah, 553 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.880 yeah, Well Origins had some of them like it was like, do you 554 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.440 want this horse? I want the horse that can run forever? Yeah? 555 00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:59.639 Money? Oh you like this weapon? No, no, it's Wizards. 556 00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.039 Now it's exciting. Oh hey you want to you want a very exciting weapon? 557 00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.440 Excitement, Yes, lots of that going on. We like excitement too. 558 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.159 Yeah. You know what, I'm here's the last thing that I've got 559 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:14.599 because I don't wanna. I don't want to review any more cards and tell 560 00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:15.960 you about my favorites or things that I think are the best in the set, 561 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.360 because I haven't looked at all of them yet, and I certainly haven't 562 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:23.639 looked at all the reprints. I love how in each set over the last 563 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:30.920 little while we've gotten a bunch of different versions of the card Murder and true. 564 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.039 The card is fine, and it would be maybe a card I play 565 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.119 like in a raw dog deck or whatever, because it's not worth anything. 566 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:42.440 But I can put the exact one that I want in the deck that that 567 00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:45.320 kind of fits my theme or my strategy. I can have an assassin, 568 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:47.960 I can have an orc. I can have this or that or this or 569 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.559 whatever it is in whatever treatment if I want foil or promo or whatever. 570 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:59.599 It's gonna give me exactly kind of like a little snapshot of what set it's 571 00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:04.320 from. And I think it's such like a kind of an obtuse card that 572 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.840 is still useful. It's a perfect little snapshot. And I like that. 573 00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:12.960 And this one in the Assassin's Creed set's got a cool art. It's like 574 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.360 an assassin jumping down onto a guy. I assume he's gonna stab him in 575 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:20.679 the head with one of his like wrist spikes hidden blade action, yes, 576 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.159 or one of his boot blades, because that's a thing too. Now I 577 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:25.519 don't remember that. That's probably from a game I didn't play. Yeah, 578 00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:29.719 sure, I love it, Murder. Keep putting it in SETSWATSA the Murder 579 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.199 and Terminate that's also in here. Go for the Throat also in here. 580 00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:36.480 So many common removal spells in this set because they're all Assassin related, yes, 581 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.519 including Assassin's Trophy, Assassin's Trophy, Assassinate, and Royal Assassin all in 582 00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:45.559 the set. Oh very good. I wonder if watsy just went onto Scryfall 583 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:52.199 because they don't even use Gatherer and just like typed in Assassin and the dude 584 00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.679 the boss is like, yep, yeah, do it, just print it 585 00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:00.119 and save us some time and money. I want pictures of Assassinate. Yeah, 586 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.719 that's that's one hundred percent how it went. I want pictures of Assassin, 587 00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.320 man, that's what they said, yes, yes, correct. So 588 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:08.880 I don't know. The last thing that I would I would like to say 589 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:13.599 about this is one check out Fusion Gaming online dot com.

As I think we've said on the 598 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.559 show a bunch of times, these Universes Beyond are never bad for Magic because 599 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.840 it's just gonna bring more people. They're gonna play our game with us into 600 00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:52.480 it, and that's always important and we always want to see that, and 601 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.639 that's really great. This one might not be for either of us, but 602 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:58.199 that doesn't mean there is stuff that we're not gonna want. I'm playing that 603 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:00.800 bird there we go see. We're gonna get birds, we're gonna get swords, 604 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.920 we're gonna assassins, we're gonna get dudes in jeans. And if that's 605 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.159 your thing, it's right here for you.

We're going to Regina in September, We're going 611 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:29.679 to Calgary in November, and who knows what we're gonna do in between now 612 00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.360 and then, but maybe if we figure it out, we can tell you 613 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:37.840 more about it on our next very exciting episode of Cool Man Er Cookout podcast. 614 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.239 In our theme st
