tons going down? We're gonna take
a look back at all the stuff that

6
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.399
we really liked, really didn't like, and all the stuff we were right

7
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.520
about and none of the stuff we
were wrong about in twenty twenty three.

8
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.560
Before we get to any of that
kind of stuff, we have to thank

9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.840

13
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.519
after our good friend Keel, of
course, who sent us a picture on

14
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.560
Twitter of him drinking said pile of
bones while holding a commander and having a

15
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.959
cookout. O. Man, that's
deep gout. I didn't put all that

16
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.319
together. I saw his commander and
he was standing in front of a barbecue.

17
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.200
Yeah, and then like I was
like, I didn't see any food

18
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.159
on the grill, and they sent
a picture picture. Yeah, yeah,

19
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.159
yeah, he was drinking. He
was drinking their their white Ipa, which

20
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.680
I'm told by Pile of Bones is
their number one selling beer by far and

21
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.200
away, not close. Are we
allowed to say white Ipa on the internet.

22
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.879
Oh yeah, Oh, you might
get canceled. I'm sure it's fine.

23
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.519
I'm sure it's good beer. I've
never tried it myself. I have

24
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.159
dried several. I'm more of a
dark beer man myself. Oh well,

25
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.480
wait, wait until you totally don't
see my Christmas present that you totally haven't

26
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.799
already seen, totally discovered new beer
while you were away on your holiday.

27
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.519
Oh yeah, it's it's chocolate,
it's peanut butter, and it's beer.

28
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.680
Okay, well, just well,
we're gonna get to the beer in a

29
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.560
second. I want to circle back
around to Fusion real quickly, because I,

30
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.039
when I was on my vacation,
turned the data off on the phone

31
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.879
so I didn't talk to freaking nobody. It was awesome. I didn't see

32
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.599
this guy for like ten days.
Yeah, that was the best part anyway,

33
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.919
you'd see who I was pointing out. If you're watching on YouTube,

34
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.360
it should be because they work hard
to make us look good. Yeah,

35
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.240
Joe's been making you look festive lately. Now that Christmas is over, do

36
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.080
you think do you think you'll make
you a green again or blue? Or

37
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.080
maybe he'll alternate colors. Maybe they'll
be like a spectrum thing where the colors

38
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.360
changed. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, big thanks to editor Joe

39
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.039
in twenty twenty three. I think
we can say that if we're looking back,

40
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.280
he did a good job all year, totally medium thanks to Tyler.

41
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.280
They're both present. Oh oh oh, I was talking about fusion, So

42
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.280
turn a data back on when I
when I come off of vacation. Then

43
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.360
I got some kind of food pusoning. But while I was sitting on the

44
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.840
toilet. Yeah, I'm looking at
all my emails from the last week,

45
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.599
and I had a bunch of cards
come in on my whistling wishless year.

46
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.599
You set them on your wish list, you get an email when they coming,

47
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.400
You buy them real fast when you're
on the toilet. Yeah, so

48
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.280
nobody else buys them. Yeah,
that's how I do it too. That's

49
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.159
mostly where I do all my wishless
shopping. Yea, And when I checked

50
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:17.800
out, I used CEO Summer Promo
code o Yeah yeah, cleansed my colon

51
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.280
save money and cleansed your wish list, Oh I did. Yeah, it

52
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.960
took like four cards off. That's
pretty good. I think I dropped like

53
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.840
two or three off of mine too. Yeah. Yeah, I got a

54
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.400
I got a methrow Coat. That's
a good card. That's like one of

55
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.759
the best cards of the year.
I think that's pretty good. Splash it

56
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.319
in auto equips. Give your guy
he uh indestructible. Yep, it's pretty

57
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.840
good, not too bad. It's
pretty good cards. So if you want

58
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.639

while you're on the toilet, ce CEO

60
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.319

all around. That was a great

61
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.479
piece of marketing. I told them. I told them, mean something simple

62

have the eyes right, like, there'd

66
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.160
be all kinds of questions. It's

70
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.839

Fantastic. Speaking of executives. Executives,

71
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.879
we have some executive business to go
through on the cast. I hate

72
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.800
that. Yeah, but it's good
kind. It's like to giveaway kind and

73
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.680
it's a Patreon thank you kind that
kind of stuff. Okay, that's pretty

74
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.199
good. I don't mind that.
That's fine. Let's do last week's winner

75
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.959
last week or just a full confession
because we've been doing all the double recordings

76
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.000
for like the last six weeks or
whatever it's been because of the holidays and

77
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.680
my family thing that I did.
I took the last two pre shows,

78
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.600
combined all the guessers, and picked
one winner. So one person's gonna win

79
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.720
three times. No, one person's
gonna win one time. Because your good

80
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:25.519
friend Ryan broke broke as hell.
I've got from guessing Yoshi, Maru,

81
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.160
Francisco, the Bird, and Lewis. Three commanders. Somebody got all three

82
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.759
of them. Yeah, multiple people
got all three. Wow. Yeah.

83
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.160
Lewis apparently was the hardest one though, as per some of the comments,

84
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.800
Oh, that was our venture into
our what is it, our annual venture

85
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.759
into CDH. We were like one
dec a year we'd look at CDH deck

86
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.439
and just shit on it. Yeah, it was Tyler's too. Tyler was

87
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.600
trying to explain in the discord,
Oh, it wasn't ready yet. Well

88
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.839
you shouldn't have posted it then,
Bud. Yeah, and he's like,

89
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.399
well, there's three commanders because I
got three pets. I was like,

90
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.519
oh wait, that makes sense,
that does make sense, But that makes

91
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.160
sense. You know what would have
made that deck better? There's one commander?

92
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.160
Oh yeah, I mean you still
have three pets if you want.

93
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.519
But if you want to, you
know, when you update all your lists

94
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.079
on on whatever deck listing site you
prefer, yes, and then you know

95
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:15.160
you make the cut in real life. You gotta make the cut on the

96
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.879
internet. Yes, go from three
commanders down to one. You know what

97
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.399
that means? Three up, two
slots, that's right, play the one

98
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.959
ring at or kub or QB.
I was talking about real life, Ryan.

99
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.279
Oh, you're gonna keep the cat
and keep the dog. You're gonna

100
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.480
keep the bird. Oh you can
only keep one. Mmmm. That's real

101
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.560
life. If you want to go
hard playing hardcore mode with your pets,

102
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.480
just throw a knife into the living
room. Okay, I'm gonna leave for

103
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.079
an hour. Whoever's left is left. It's like guys have like the super

104
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.759
duper uh what's the word survival mode
where you have to eat and drink and

105
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.199
like rest and you can say when
you sleep in a bed a man.

106
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.480
I would not want to play that. I would not want to do that.

107
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.759
We're gonna talk about Fallout a little
bit on tomorrow's bonus. That's Suppress,

108
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.319
that's look Ahead. Yeah yeah,
okay, okay, So we still

109
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.639
haven't said the winner. Oh yeah, who wasn't Gary halfway? Watery?

110
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:12.480
God? Gary halfwin? Yeah he
guessed all three he got him, So

111
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.519
congrats to Gary. He just went
to like Commandfest London or something. Ship

112
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.279
Yeah cool. Hey we didn't even
get to go to Commandest man. I

113
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.680
hope he wears CEO shirt. Just
ship on people. He did wear a

114
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.480
Ceio shirt, and I hope he
made fun of people for having weird teeth

115
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.279
and for eating bangers and mash.
Oh yeah, I hope, I hope

116
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.759
that he didn't have any English food
while he lives in that country. Why

117
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.279
would you want to eat English food? I've never heard a single good thing

118
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.399
about English food. And that's not
me being hyperbolic or is that the word?

119
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:50.160
Yes? Never? But you like
and I like potatoes and just meat

120
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:56.120
wrapped and fried. And I like
that you like plain food and I like

121
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.040
spicy fruits. But you also like
you're allowed to like more than one kind

122
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.199
of food brand. Oh I suppose, I suppose. I don't know.

123
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.199
You know what I learned today?
What is it by today? I mean

125
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.920
cheese and sour cream. Yes.
And it makes a really great potato

chip dip free lesson your boys,

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.559

guy's already got a nickname. One of

131
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.679
the benefits. You can use it
in the discord, which is a real

132
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.720
benefit. That's a real benefit because
you can meet like some of the people

133
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.039
that we shit on on the show
all the time. Oh yes, and

134
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.120
the people that come to the CSU
experiences with us, which we'll talk about

135
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.879
today and tomorrow. Okay, John
Armor All, I like that one.

136
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.519
Now that's an old one. I
like that one. That's a good one.

137
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.559
Yeah, but but I'm thinking,
like, what's he armor alling up?

138
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.000
Like, what's he shining up his
dong? Just the end of his

139
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.080
dog we Yeah, yeah, that's
why we're that's why we're partners in crime

140
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.600
brand. Yeah, of course,
what else would it be? That's what

141
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.600
Maybe his butt cheeks? No,
no, just like I just like a

142
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.720
shiny butt cheek. I think it
would be weird if you were getting down

143
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:28.000
with somebody and their ass was just
shiny, just shiny looking like like like

144
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.360
butt cheeks or like on SpongeBob or
on Red and Stimpy. Remember they always

145
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.879
did the close ups of the butt
cheeks and then you could see the reflection

146
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.720
of the mirror and them. Yeah, you don't want that, but nobody

147
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.799
knows. Like the high detail shots
where they show something gross, but it's

148
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:45.159
shiny butt cheeks. Yeah, but
if it's like you're weiener, if it's

149
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.879
your pain, that's kind of shiny, It's like, that's kind of weird.

150
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.159
Still, but like you could probably
get away with each of life.

151
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.879
I wonder if Sean Armoroll shines it
up until it looks like an oscar,

152
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.600
like like a movie oscar. You
know, probably do, Yeah, probably

153
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.440
looks like an oscar. Anyway,
it's like a weird chod in the middle

154
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.440
and then a little dang. It's
got arms that are crossed. It stands

155
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.559
out in the front when he has
a party and doesn't let people in unless

156
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.039
they're on the list. Yes,
yes, yes, uh Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't

157
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.799
get in for a long time.
No, yeah, now, not until

158
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.080
he flamethrower that girl in the pool. I assume that happened in real life.

159
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.519
He's a documentary, right, don't
google that. And Once upon a

160
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.080
Time in Hollywood that's a documentary right
more or less. Ye, it's based

161
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.879
on true events. We're gonna call
it c practically real. Yeah, yeah,

162
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.720
so big thanks to John, and
I want to move on to the

163
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.720
next John. John from Gemstone Mind
coming over to Commander cook a watch on

164
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.679
Friday. He's doing his first CEDH
deck tech and you'll like it? Will

165
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.480
I? You will? I probably
won't. It's a challenge. I think

166
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.759
you will. He can, I
can like it, or I cannot.

167
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.200
It has it starts with an This
is the deck. It starts with an

168
00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.519
S and it rhymes with sacks.
Well, let me tell you what that

169
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:07.240
means. It's not because it doesn't
start with a bee and it doesn't rhyme

170
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.440
with blash flaunters. Oh yes,
no, it does not. It does

171
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.639
not. How can it be?
We've been over this. You're allowed to

172
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.120
like more than one thing, but
I don't. I know I could,

173
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.080
but I don't. We're going to
get into some of the likes and don't

174
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.200
likes. But uh. I wanted
to mention John because he worked really hard

175
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.159
on his first video and it looks
really good. I've seen it cool and

176
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.360
I'm happy to have CEDH on the
channel because I know how popular it is

177
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.200
and I know that like people like
to tune in and learn. I watched

178
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.200
it and actually learned some shit.
So yeah, you're never too young to

179
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.080
learn or old? How does that
go? Old? Never too old to

180
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.399
learn? Not even brando. Hey, I learned a new thing yesterday.

181
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.960
I told you guys about it.
The recipe dip. Man, you want

182
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.399
to just put taco season and anything
make it tasty? Talk. Yes,

183
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.519
when you put enough spices and salt
on stuff, it even would make a

184
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.360
turn taste good. But would it
make it taste like not a turd like?

185
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.240
How much taco season would it take
to make poop not taste like poop?

186
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.120
I'll bet you it would be a
lot, whereas like a reasonable amount

187
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:18.080
created this fairly tasty potato chip dip. A just question, malijh. Speaking

188
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.759
of taste, Okay, I've got
a Christmas present for you, and it's

189
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.200
not poop. Oh well, if
it's not poop, I don't know if

190
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.240
I want it. I think a
lump of poop and a sock would be

191
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.440
a great present to get it.
Yeah, frozen one hit Max Crandell with

192
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.240
it. Yeah, Yeah, we're
gonna talk about that tomorrow. It's a

193
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.399
bag totally on brand Lululemon bag,
but the logo is off screen so they

194
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.840
won't sponsor us. Would you believe
I've never been in that store in my

195
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.320
life. Oh, I've never wont
step foot inside of the Lulu Lemon,

196
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.080
although a couple people here in the
store say that their stuff is unbelievably comfortable

197
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.720
and they wear it all the time. Yeah, I shall not unbelievably comfortable

198
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.759
in my mouth and want to drink
it all the time. Pile of Bones,

199
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.840
there's more there. I knocked it
over. Oh no, I caught

200
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.720
it. Oh shit, that's chocolate. Yeah see there's black I pa here,

201
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.600
and there's chocolate stout with a little
oop a loop on it. I

202
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.759
figured you'd like these ones. I
do so big thanks to Pile of Bones

203
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.799

the ones to hear. Yeah, Brandon's

204
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.840

205
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.039
See that's good. That's good stuff
right there. That is excellent stuff.

206
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.320
It was raining when they were delivered, so they got some mud on them.

207
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.240
I tried to wash them off.
That's why they're wet. Nothing spilled,

208
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.000
but there's kind of water all over
the place. We're not supposed to

209
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.120
have anything in here. That's fine. I'm sure nobody will notice. It's

210
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.679
not like anybody from work watches this. It's not like anybody's gonna fire except

211
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.960
for Aaron mcnott. Oh yeah,

219
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.039
before CCO experienced Vegas and took that
money and bought beer for the whole house

220

correct. Final way to support the show

222
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.600
is a listening, liking, sharing, and doing all the social media stuff.

Instagram, Instagram, sure, whatever, people use Instagram. Okay. Actually,

227
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.279
the final way is to go to
the store and pick up some stickers

228
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.679
or a T shirt or something.
I got some new T shirts and I'll

a I think I only got two orange

231
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.240
tukes left. They were the most
popular tuk. See people like to well,

232
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.240
we know lots of people in the
nation actually like to go hunting.

233
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.639
Yes, surprise me. Those high
visibility don't get shot in the dome.

234
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.000
Yeah for sure. You ever see
Starship Troopers and I goes mad that you

235
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.519
won't have to because they'll see your
head not shoot you in it. Mm

236
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.679
hmm. Okay, here's the thing. Twenty twenty three. What a year.

237
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.559
We were right on a bunch of
stuff. Yeah, we were.

238
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.039
We changed the world in twenty twenty
three. Right, we were basically wrong

239
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.440
about nothing. Correct. Okay,
so right about that as well. Yet

240
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.399
another thing in twenty twenty three that
you were correct about. Here it is

241
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.679
what how do you where? How
do you where? Do we start?

242
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:43.679
I'm going to think about the things
that I predicted slash bitched about. Oh

243
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.399
yeah, let's start with that one, since my favorite one. Okay,

244
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.000
I complained that nagas were not snakes
and they are now snakes, I'm taking

245
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.000
full credit for that. Well,
I'm sharing it with the nation as well.

246
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.159
Good one. But we did that, all of us did that together.

247
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.679
We did it. Was was Warmer
forty K twenty twenty two or three

248
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.480
twenty Oh wait hey, look the
list up. It was twenty twenty two,

249
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.879
right, Yes, it was last
year, twenty two, dang it.

250
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.320
One of the things we called in
the twenty twenty two top fives was

251
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.279
new printings of soul rings and stuff, right, And we got that with

252
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.000
Warmhammer, and it was in Doctor
Who and it was in something. It

253
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.320
was not in Lord of the Rings. But they gave us multiple different printings

254
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.320
of sol ring in Lord of the
Rings in a different way. But there

255
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.000
there were new ones. And the
one that you got in the commander decks

256
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.960
were also different than the standard sol
ring art. Was it not? No,

257
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:45.200
there's one sol ring art in the
product, but it wasn't the sol

258
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.799
ring that everybody's looking at. It's
not the one that was on the plane

259
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.120
at correct. Yeah, we still
got a new one. It's still different.

260
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.080
If you like that one, you
can get that one. We also

261
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.720
said it was going to be the
most popular one of the year. Did

262
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.960
we not, and we were right
about oh yes, because everybody liked that.

263
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.159
Yeah. So I mean Vegas,
and I had a media pass in

264
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.559
Vegas. So I'm in this like
there's a media lounge. I don't know.

265
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:07.880
They had water and coffee. I
was drink of beer in there.

266
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.000
I mean I totally wasn't. And
I talked to a Watsa employee in there,

267
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:17.440
and I was asking her about Lord
of the Rings and just telling her

268
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.519
about me and and and what Brando
and I do and that it was like

269
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.359
my favorite set, so happy that
it's the thing because oh, because they

270
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.319
were previewing like the holiday cards and
stuff, right, yeah, the Hildebrandt

271
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.519
arts and the and the poster arts
and stuff that are totally cool. Got

272
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.839
one of those, oh yeah,
which one is? No dang no,

273
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:41.160
just regular dang playing the Witch King
o King. Yeah, I might have

274
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.200
to switch it out of the deck
because I honestly can't read it and there's

275
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.960
too much text on the card.
I remember what it does, man,

276
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.160
I can remember for exiting planes,
walkers and all that shite. Nope,

277
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.880
not that, No, goddamn I
day with that card does So I'm talking

278
00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:00.599
to this Watsie lady and she is
in charge of like ushering the panels and

279
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.480
the speakers and organizing a lot of
the show. She's a PR lady.

280
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.240
Yeah, And she tells me she's
like on the PR team. She's sexy.

281
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:14.359
Here's the thing, Oh, she
being on the PR team would probably

282
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:22.440
know when a product is successful,
sure, and to what degree would be

283
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.680
successful at or what kind of elevation
level it made it to. So you're

284
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.440
telling me she's smart. She is
smart. That's sexy, answered my question.

285
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.200
Yeah, there we go. It's
a great way to respect women.

286
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.559
Call them smart. When they're smart. Yeah, when they're not, you

287
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.519
call them out. So I asked
her, so is Lord of the Rings

288
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:52.240
Tales of Middle Earth the most successful
set of magic history? She goes like

289
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.000
this, She kind of gives me
the side look like this. She starts

290
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.640
kind of doing this, and she
goes, what do you mean by successful?

291
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.359
And I go, I mean,
did it did it make more money?

292
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.200
Did it introduce the most amount of
new players to the game? Ever?

293
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.119
That means money into your pocket?
Ever? Did excitement into your pocket?

294
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.880
There we're saying it right now.
Was it ordered by more distributors?

295
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:26.640
Ever? Was it played at its
own pro Tour or in the qualifying season

296
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.359
leading up to the Pro Tour more
than ever. And I'm asking her all

297
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.079
these questions without saying like did it
make the most money ever? Right?

298
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.960
Right? And she's saying she's She's
sitting there like, hmmm, man,

299
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.480
how are they gonna deal with me? When I'm like, man, you

300
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.200
guys must have made a lot of
money off of that age. So if

301
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.559
you're watching on YouTube, you're seeing
what my head is doing the whole time.

302
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.839
And then she goes, I don't
know if I can answer any of

303
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.960
those questions pertaining to the success of
that product because we don't care how many

304
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.319
people played it. So then I
just say, oh, okay, well

305
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.880
you probably can't answer if it made
the most money out of any set ever,

306
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.200
did it? And she goes,
I definitely can't answer that question,

307
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.480
while nodding her head on and down. Yes, that is exactly what she

308
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.599
did. That was our prediction.
And I'm not saying that we were right.

309
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.599
We were right, but I am
gonna do what she did as we

310
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.880
are. I'm gonna say it were
we were absolutely correct. Well, when

311
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:25.160
the Lord of the Rings family or
the hell their names, or like,

312
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.359
we made more money off Magic Lord
of the Rings than we have off the

313
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:33.240
Lord of the Rings in the last
hundred years. Obviously it is more successful.

314
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.759
Oh man, between between fricking Hasbrow
and Amazon, Man, that family's

315
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.400
gone as much money as the freaking
Queen Hasbro. I can't. I can't

316
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.519
say the Queen. I gotta say
the King. Now, we can say

317
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.480
whatever we want, but what's you
know what I mean? The King is

318
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.680
not gonna last long. He's like
a thousand That's what they said about the

319
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.839
queen we have. But Queen Elizabeth
didn't die out of spite. And everybody

320
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.119
knows that if you're from the pond, you're gonna know this or across the

321
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.720
pond. I should say you know
that too. She was desperately trying to

322
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.680
outlive her son so her son couldn't
be king. She didn't quite make it,

323
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.160
but I think she got close enough. Yeah, yep, yeah,

324
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.200
she wanted her grandson to be king
A Yeah, what's his name again?

325
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.200
I don't care, not Harry the
other one. I don't care. I

326
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:26.480
don't care. Somebody somebody's freaking screaming
some royalist is like and it's a freaking

327
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.799
Canadian royalist guaranteed. Yeah, it's
Gary halfway, yeah, because he lives

328
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.960
there, so he'll know if their
money has changed over there yet. Like,

329
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.599
do you think all the Queen Elizabeth
money like isn't worth it anymore?

330
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.160
And you gotta have King money now, I bet it's coming out. None

331
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.319
of our money's changed yet, but
it's gonna that's weird, man, that's

332
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.759
gonna be weird. I've started to
see that get this, get this people

333
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.279
in the Land of the Free.
I've started to see the commemorative tunies Elizabeth

334
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.079
man. Yeah, Okay, let's
let's take a quick beer break and then

335
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:02.240
we'll come back and talk some and
one of the things we're totally right about.

336
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.799
Oh yeah, is it a set
thing? No, we'll just do

337
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.160
it now. We'll do it now
before secret layers. We're there. Gonna

338
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.039
be fifty two of them, one
for each week. Absolutely, I counted

339
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:17.359
there was fifty five. That's one
a week plus three three almost said two.

340
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:19.599
And you can minus two from that
because two of them were for like

341
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:25.640
only in stores. You'll only get
them at your WPN stores. Oh,

342
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.079
I love PN. I did buy
both of them just to like support our

343
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.079
lgs. Yes, uh. And
then I played the cards out of one

344
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.400
of them, and then I bindered
the cards out of the other one because

345
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.960
I don't play hydras. Ah,
yes, yeah, yeah hydros. Okay,

346
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.799
we'll take a quick break. We'll
talk one more thing that that we

347
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:48.119
were both right on, and then
we'll talk sets. Yeahs back we are

348
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.599
back. Well we found cookies,
yeah, and some brittle Yeah. I

349
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:53.960
didn't have that. Yeah, I
didn't want to eat it's got crushed up

350
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.519
candy canes. Not a peppermint guy. I mean, I know we're gonna

351
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.160
hear that on the internet. Why
what you know what I think the peppermint.

352
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.680
The peppermint crowd online is pretty divided. I bet you it's fifty to

353
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.039
fifty, like peppermint to no peppermint. Yes, yes, Like I love

354
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:14.400
peppermint and I will slay people who
don't, oh wow. Versus I dislike

355
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.759
peppermint and will slay people who want
to try and feed it to me.

356
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:18.960
Oh. I just won't eat it
when people give it to me. And

357
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.519
if they do give it to me, I'll politely take it and then give

358
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.240
it to somebody who. Yes,
like, if you give Brando a candy

359
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.960
cane, I will take it and
I will be grateful because you gave me

360
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.720
a thing, and that's awesome,
but I'm not gonna eat it. I'm

361
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.799
gonna give it to somebody who will
eat it and enjoy it. And if

362
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.359
you make me eat it, like
you're gonna stand there and look at me

363
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.319
till I eat it, I will, and I will secretly resent you.

364
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.440
Well, okay, we're gonna talk
about sets that Watsy gave us in one

365
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.240
second, but I gotta clear the
air about something, oh, something that

366
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:55.079
we were both right on, but
on a technicality each U. Okay,

367
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.960
you will once you hear it,
you'll know. Okay. You predicted that

368
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.440
there would be a secret layer in
twenty two one three that I would own,

369
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.599
Yeah, now, and you did. I already owned secret layers before

370
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:08.920
that that were given to me,
or that I won and you would buy,

371
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.480
et cetera. You paid money for
one, I know you did.

372
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.720
I was there when they gave it
to you. I own the Lord of

373
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.359
the Rings secret Layer, you sure
do. I actually owned past tense,

374
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.480
owned two of them, one in
foil one and not foil. The technicality

375
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.160
is is I did not pay money
for it, so you were right.

376
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.079
I do own one, but I
didn't pay for it. Did you exchange

377
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.839
goods or services for it? You
don't get more questions, sir. You

378
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.240
laid out all the terms and conditions
when we made the prediction, so you

379
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:47.920
can shut up. Man. That
Shire Terrace is like eight dollars now,

380
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.680
yeah, oh wow, well,
no, they're worth money because nobody bought

381
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:56.079
it. Yes, that's the oh
yes, Watsy's super backhanded plan to make

382
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.839
everybody feel bad. But then all
the investors that like fifty eight of them

383
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:02.880
because they're Lord of the Rings,
and everybody's like, oh yeah, lord

384
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:18.000
of the Ring, I'm one of
them. Oh godrick go oh oh man.

385
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.720
My foiled coffee is still still sealed, my non foil one. I

386
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:29.079
painted all the other cards. I
have the misprinted worm Tongue still in its

387
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.519
sealed thing because it was the secret
card, right, and I still have

388
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.559
the Shire Terrace this foil shower Shire
Terrace dollars not the regular one. Oh

389
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.519
wow, frick yeah, sorry man, sorry dude, they didn't go up

390
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.440
that much. New. It's a
playable card. It's fine. It's fine,

391
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.640
yes, especially in landfall decks because
it's like it's like fetch Land number

392
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.319
eighty six. I wanted it for
omna, Well, I have a non

393
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:57.279
foil one eight bucks nonfoil. What
have you met me? Yes? Oh

394
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:02.079
man, Okay, if twenty twenty
three gave me anything, it was opportunities

395
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.559
to trade excitement for foils. Yes, and see what I did there?

396
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:07.960
Yes, say that I did.
Because we're official now, because we're gonna

397
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:14.039
be at Magic Fest Chicago in the
Creator Area. Don't even call it the

398
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.359
right name. I don't even what

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.839
Start cuddle us and kiss us and
call us George. You don't have

403
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.359
to do any other stuff if you
want to or game. I'm not.

404
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:36.240
I like kissing and cuddling. That's
okay, but yeah, we just want

405
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.920
to see either. I'm really excited
for sure. Yeah. You know what,

406
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.200
each time we go to one of
these magic Fests and or or what

407
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.799
are they called the Magic Cons.
We'll talk about it on tomorrow's twenty four

408
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.160
look Ahead, but we should mention
it now, right like we should have

409
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.920
mentioned it when we were talking about
the new stuff that we're gonna be doing,

410
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.880

413
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.319
minutes, is the point. Yeah, And whenever we go to these magic

414
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.920
cons, we always have an area
where it's like all the whole tables,

415
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:11.920
like all CEO people. Right,
we did it in Minneapolis, we did

416
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.839
it in Seattle, or Bellevue,
we did it in Vegas. We do

417
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.920
it everywhere. Yeah, and let's
just like get all those people when it's

418
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.519

419
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.079

stickers. We're gonna be like playing booster

420
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.680
pack wars and freakin' you know what. I've really been liking his jumpstart.

421
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:34.000
Maybe we'll get some jump start man. Watsee. No, you don't have

422
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:38.039
to play. No, I'll play
on your behavior. I'm the official guest

423
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:45.920
here. I will be the one
who does not suffer that bullshit. Oh

424
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.960
I'll suffer you you will when you
sit there not playing Jumpstart or have to

425
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:52.799
pay money to play jump Start for
the first time in your life. Oh

426
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.240
dude, no, I'm gonna bring
like Lord of the Rings, Jumpsies,

427
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.000
Jumpsies, Jumpies whatever, they're so
bad. Yeah. Well, okay,

428
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.559
we've got a list of sets that
have come out this year. Now I

429
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.839
have you've got the sets there from
twenty three. I am going to pull

430
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:12.720
up my show notes because I have
some questions for you. Oh that's French

431
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.640
for question. It is yes,
it's also Spanish for question. Oh yeah,

432
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.039
no, that's a And now that
it's on the internet, I was

433
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:25.440
gonna say, okay, what are
the sets? I guess what was the

434
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:33.519
first one, Dominary dom Remastered,
and with that came what are they called

435
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.799
the Universe Multiverse Legends, Right,
was that in there? You know?

436
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.839
Nope? That was in Marching Machines. We'll get there. Nope, I

437
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.839
made the mistake. Yes, okay, so this was a reprint set that

438
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:51.440
gave you reprints in both the new
frame old frame borderless cards, and I

439
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.279
think that that's the I don't think
there was a specialty showcase frame in Dominary

440
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.920
Remaster. Oh no, it was
stained glass. Dominari is always stained glass,

441
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.960
but that wasn't in here. Oh
yeah, oh you could get the

442
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.359
I'm still thinking of the multiverse legends. You can get stained glass things from

443
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:10.240
like March of the Machines, right, because that was March. Yeah,

444
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:14.160
there was a couple and there's a
couple of March of the Machines or am

445
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.200
I thinking of Brothers War? Yes? Yes, because all of those things

446
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.000
happened on Dominaria, right, yeah, But there was none of that here.

447
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:23.720
This was all just yeah, okay
stuff, that's fine. And it

448
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.960
was good, Yes, it was
good. Was it as good as Time

449
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.920
Spiral Remaks? Not even close?
Is it? Is it gonna be as

450
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.720
good as Raven Remasters? Better than
rabnek Kremaster. We're gonna talk about that

451
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.240
more tomorrow. I have. I'm
the man. I'm the one that loves

452
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:42.319
reprint sets. I love them and
Ravnica and no, oh you used to

453
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.680
not anymore. I'm sick of that
ship now, okay, I'm over Ravnica

454
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.720
and as such, man, I
was going over it with some of the

455
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.200
guys at the LGS, just going
over it myself. Dude, this this

456
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.279
is the set. No save it
for tomorrow. Save it for tomorrow.

457
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.519
I'm gonna tune in tomorrow Commander Cook
of four to ten to hear some really

458
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.000
good Ravene Career Masters of Dominary Your
Master was fine. I kind of forgot

459
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.960
that it even happened, if I'm
being honest, Yeah, because it was

460
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.519
buried under so much excitement for it
was a bad set. It's just there

461
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.160
was so there was such a glut
of stuff, and I don't think there

462
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:17.440
was enough exciting things there. Every
so often you wanna goes, oh,

463
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.559
yeah, there's a borderless demonic tutor
in there. That's pretty cool. We're

464
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.839
only reprinted all those tutors, that's
neat. Yeah, But past that,

465
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.640
it's like what came out in Dominary
Your Master that everybody is just raw hard

466
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.960
for. Yeah, and you know
what all of those tutors were in Commander

467
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:36.519
Masters, which is another set from
this year that everybody actually besides the price

468
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.240
tag, we'll talk about it when
we get there, but besides the price

469
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.599
tag, everybody was I think more
excited about Commander Masters, right, yeah,

470
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.359
just like the reprints and stuff.
Yeah, and what it did four

471
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:51.920
prices once everybody stopped buying the booster
packs and then stores had to like open

472
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.599
packs to sell singles. Yeah,
which wants the value of the car?

473
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.880
What's the value of the path ninety
dollars booster pack. All of a sudden,

474
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:02.519
you're opening up eighteen cents in cards. Everybody stopped buying them as you

475
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.920
should have good on you everybody.
So the next set that was in January,

476
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.920
yep, move on to February.
This was a good set. This

477
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.759
was a very good set. I
like this one. This was a good

478
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:22.359
set in terms of providing the format
of commander with very powerful format defining cards

479
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:29.839
in things like Shieldred, Eli,
Schnorn and the Green One, vorn klex

480
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:37.000
Y and Mandrac. These were all
in for Exia, all will be one

481
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.920
yes, and for Extu only one
has the astute honor of delivering to me

482
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.960
two of my very favorite commanders all
time that I didn't have to build myself

483
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.400
because the nation did it for me. Which what in the there's the Rozov

484
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:53.000
lady that attacks and makes little mites
over that one and we did her on

485
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:59.200
the show and the is it a
screlve, No, that's the mite.

486
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.039
Oh Man. Scroll was a hero. He was the hero we need and

487
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:07.640
he got done dirty dang by not
being on the box for March of the

488
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.519
Machine anywayways, and the other one
was the other one that we did on

489
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.200
the show. It was red and
blue and it made goblins when you play,

490
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.680
Oh yeah, Ovika, Ovika,
Vika, We've got to I've got

491
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:23.079
a bonus top five coming out with
our most popular deck Techs of twenty twenty

492
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:25.559
three. That's coming out. It'll
probably be out like the first week of

493
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:30.319
the new year, and Ovika might
be on there. That was a good

494
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.160
one. I like both of those
cards, lots. Both of them came

495
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.960
from here. In One of my
favorite special art treatments of the year in

496
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.400
the oil Slick foils. Oh,
I was gonna ask you about that.

497
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:44.000
Really like those those were cool.
They did, like the oil slick packs

498
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:47.200
in the in the All will be
Wondles, right and with the with the

499
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.000
red and white click down life counters. Yeah, this was a cool product.

500
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.200
I actually I think that of the
main line sets, I think this

501
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:58.039
was my favorite one of the year. It wasn't my favorite product of the

502
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.119
year. You freaking buried the lead
man. Well you'd say it near the

503
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:05.440
end, you say, why all
the reason, Well, the end of

504
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.480
talking about freaking all over want showcases
were cool in the in the ink block

505
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:14.960
ones, the black and white ones, stepping complete foils were beautiful, totally

506
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.680
cool. Those were freaking cool.
I want more of those. I want

507
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.519
Louis Vuitton foils because that's what those
reminded me of. But Louis Vuitton,

508
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.000
hey, freaking trying to get that
license cost a little more than Lord of

509
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:30.160
the Rings. Not just kidding it
one probably Uh the set aesthetically with the

510
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:38.000
Frexian language cards and the Frisian just
light motif is it's just such a prosocative

511
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:44.240
Yeah, so cool. Yes,
everything about this set was cool. We

512
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.839
said that at the same time as
the set came out to right, Like

513
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:52.319
I remember reviewing last February saying,
this set just looks good and all body

514
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.839
horror imagery was so everything about hanging
from hooks and ship and their skin's getting

515
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:02.400
flayed off. I think throughout the
year we're going to see that trend continue

516
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:08.199
with very beautiful cards to look at, very beautiful design for like a second.

517
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.639
Okay, well what's the next set? That was? That was February?

518
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.519
Then we got a bazillion Secretly,
yes, the hell is that I

519
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.679
don't know that was that's all online
stuff. Then we have March of the

520
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.880
Machine, March of Machine. Where
were we with March of the Machine was

521
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.119
happening? We were in that city
whose name I can never remember? Minneapolis,

522
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.679
Yes, yes, because this was
in April. I always think Cincinnati.

523
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.599
I know that that's not right,
but it's the only long city name

524
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:40.519
I can come up with. Minneapolis
for Mom Mom March of Machine, Yes,

525
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.320
Mom Mom came after one. Yes, we were there and that was

526
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:50.159
our first big CCO experience of the
year. Hey, in Minneapolis for a

527
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:54.000
Magic Con Mini, and that's where
previews actually started for Lord of the Rings

528
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:59.519
too. Yes, I tweeted them
all out and stuff, and I guess

529
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:01.039
we could talk about Minneapolis a little
bit too. Hey, I got some

530
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.480
notes on that that I want to
ask you about. The Minneapolis was fun,

531
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:07.719
But what did you think about marcha
Machine? It's fine except for battles.

532
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.960
Battles suck. I want them to
go away forever, not just because

533
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:16.480
they're goddamn sideways, but like,
does anybody play them? I've actually seen,

534
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:21.199
being honest, a bunch of people
not slotting them into their decks to

535
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:24.559
be memes. There's one of them
that I play because it's the same effect

536
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:30.880
as another card that I would definitely
play instead of it if the price tag

537
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:35.039
was lower. But I own this
one as opposed to I don't own this

538
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.480
other one. We've done a few
decks that have battles in them since April.

539
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.719
April, yes, April, and
I've played against a few battles in

540
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.440
person at our LGS. Okay,
so I have a card that says,

541
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.760
whenever it does damage to a creature
or battle, do something. I actually

542
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:57.760
had somebody at the LGS this in
the month of December say what's a battle?

543
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.920
So that is my range too,
from what is a battle? To

544
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:07.559
I've seen them in ten months or
sorry, eight months. I've seen them

545
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:15.920
maybe twice on podcasts because that's what
we do, and maybe twice in real

546
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:20.000
life. There we Go. So
they weren't as prolific as some of the

547
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.559
individual cards that we got, like
in All will be Won, I also

548
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:29.800
got I've seen more mandracs than I've
seen battles. There we Go, There

549
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:34.119
we go, because I played twos
pretty freaking good. Not on the same

550
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.440
deck though, Oh yeah, who
are you fu jesse Man? I saw

551
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.719
him the other day, oh Man, fricka. I wish I was playing

552
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:46.320
in the game with him. I
woant to kill him. That's good.

553
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.639
Okay, what was no No Minneapolisneolis. My notes on Minneapolis got a whole

554
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.840
section for him. Okay, Jesus, it's our first time going there.

555
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:00.559
Like we've been to Edmonton and Calgary
and Vegas, Vegas a bunch, yeah,

556
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:04.880
but our first time in Minneapolis.
Ya get this. This is what's

557
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.880
so great about the CCO experience.
I ate food and like a real like

558
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:15.559
diner on the corner in America,
some like Big Fat Lady cooked me an

559
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.920
egg. Check this out though,
Man, that was cool. I'm got

560
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.079
in trouble for paying on a building. You can't be outside the United States.

561
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.440
You can in Canada. It's not
it's like you still get in trouble.

562
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:27.559
You get a ticket, like if
the police catch you. But like

563
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:30.559
it's a very bad list to be
on in the United States and we didn't

564
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:36.800
know that. Yeah, but we
won't talk anymore about that so CCO experience

565
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:38.559
for any of the new listeners.
If you become a patron, you get

566
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.119
an invite to the experience. You
sign up, we get a house,

567
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.800
we get a fridge full of food
and booze and we just play magic and

568
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:49.000
it's a big party. And I
was gonna say we all sleep together,

569
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:52.400
but what I mean is in the
same house and we go to a magic

570
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:54.960
con for three or four days.
Yea. And Minneapolis was four days based

571
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.159
on like flight times and who drove
and and cost. Ye you stayed for

572
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.480
Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday
night, Sunday night yep. And Max

573
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:09.639
Crandell and the Commander Central guys came
over, and the Wiscanting guys came over,

574
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:15.440
and everybody that we met from the
Midwest brought beer. They all drove

575
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.679
because it's the Midwest, you freaking
drive everywhere, and they all brought beer

576
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:24.840
from their own places. And the
first night I was like, man,

577
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:29.480
there's no room for beer. I
have to buy because I didn't have to

578
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:32.039
buy any because the whole fridge was
full. And it was so freaking awesome.

579
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:37.679
And the first night we got there, we had all these awesome friends

580
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:43.280
and cool people that we see like
Lenny and Steven and Frickin' and Max Crandell

581
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:45.119
was there and I had a whole
long chat with him, and he ended

582
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:50.000
up leaving with a bunch of black
eyes and stuff, and it was like

583
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.679
these people you've never met. For
everybody else that we'd never met just on

584
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:58.280
Discord or whatever, you meet them
in real life and it's like instantly you're

585
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.400
just friends. And then they say, man, Brown, do your shorter

586
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.840
in real life? And it always
happened life. Yeah, that always happens.

587
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.360
But the point is is you go
from like zero to one hundred on

588
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:12.519
the friendship scale like the minute you
meet each other, because it's like,

589
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:17.159
oh, yeah, I'm I'm Zoidberg
Jesus on Discord. Yeah, what's up?

590
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.440
He saved our lives in Vegas.
We'll talk about that, lady.

591
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.239
Oh yeah, we will hear.
Yeah, So Minneapolis, you got any

592
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:27.559
good memories? You got any good
story? It made me that egg,

593
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:31.079
that's my favorite part. And we
were stayed next to a bakery and they

594
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:34.920
gave us donut. They did,
Yeah, our Airbnb had a deal with

595
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:38.039
them. It was our first Creator
Corner. I think they called something different

596
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:42.760
now, but it was called Creator
Corner then. And we had some conversations

597
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:46.360
with the WATSI like Creator Team.
They're called Oh and I met Elliana.

598
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:51.199
I still have I still haven't watched
that part of my arm where she touched

599
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.119
me. Gross yeah, gross,
getting moldy. She's gonna be in Chicago

600
00:39:54.159 --> 00:40:01.280
too, touch his other arm.
Be funny. It was. It was

601
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:07.920
a very proud and vindicating experience talking
to Watsy and getting acknowledgment and just having

602
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.880
people that I admire and respect,
like other creators, say hey, like,

603
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.920
good job, I'm happy for you
guys. That was my probably my

604
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.239
favorite part of that whole experience.
And we went to that rad party at

605
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.559
that brewery. Oh yeah, man, dude, we missed that one.

606
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.159
Oh hell, that was awesome.
We got to do that more often.

607
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:30.320
Yeah, wats you should invite us
to more of those things because that's where

608
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.239
we really because the talk was and
it was an open bar. Oh yeah,

609
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.239
dude, how foggy it was.
No, it was just me.

610
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.199
No, I thought that was my
brain from being brand of you know who

611
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:45.199
told us that we're doing a good
job. Tell me freakin' Josh Lacroix.

612
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:52.480
Ah, I never heard of her, So I'm I'm I'm just talking to

613
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.880
you at the bar or whatever or
or like over at the table. And

614
00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:59.960
and because there was like shuffle board
there or something, Yeah, there shuffle

615
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:01.639
like a bean bag tossing yeah,
yeah. Yeah. So I'm like,

616
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.920
I gotta go get a drink or
whatever. So I just walked up to

617
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.840
the bar and I just leaned on
the bar. I ordered a drink or

618
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:13.280
whatever, and uh, some dude
beside Me's like, hey, what's up

619
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:17.280
man. I turned Josh Lee quy
like what's up? So I just spent

620
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:21.880
I don't know, twenty minutes talking
with him, just chatting about like commander

621
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:25.440
cookout, commands own and and just
what he does on his day to day.

622
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.400
And he told me that he really
likes commander on Populum and like people

623
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.920
always come up and talk to him, right, and he he was just

624
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:38.000
like answering people's questions and and he
he kept asking me, well, what

625
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:39.960
do you think Ryan? And I
was like, oh fuck me and Josh

626
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:44.159
Lee Kui, We're like what he's
now or whatever? Right, Like I

627
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:46.280
knew him from before, like we
know him, yeah, but I'd never

628
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:50.360
had a beer with him. So
that was that was another kind of cool

629
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:52.280
highlight. And that was dope.
Yeah, that's pretty fun. Next set.

630
00:41:52.480 --> 00:42:00.000
Next set was Screwed Josh Yeah oOoOO
oo oo ooh ooh, March of

631
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:07.400
the Machines. Aftermath, Yes,
yeah, after Math of the Minneapolis party.

632
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.559
Yeah, with Smitty falling asleep in
his chair as he always does,

633
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.320
like every time he comes and waking
up and ordering burger. We get a

634
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:17.039
bang on the door because he's hungry, he like orders burgers or whatever.

635
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:20.280
And I didn't know he did it. He just fell asleep his phone still

636
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.280
in his hand, you know,
And the freaking door gets banged on,

637
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:27.519
and I'm like, oh great.
The owners freaking saw that there's people at

638
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:30.480
the house and there's booze, and
they called the cops. And I'm like,

639
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:32.199
oh fuck, what is this high
school? Yeah, and I'm thinking

640
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:37.519
it's the cops or the owners and
go to American prison. My life's flashing

641
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:39.000
before my eyes. I'm like,
no, they called me yesterday. They're

642
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:43.679
from Colorado, not from Minnesota.
Like, what the hell is going on?

643
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:49.239
Right? And Smitty's like, my
burger. They just got the notification.

644
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:51.800
So he's like wow. His eyeballs
are hanging down to the floor.

645
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:53.320
He's like because he fell out of
his head, you see. Oh no,

646
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:59.679
sorry, his bags his eyebags because
he was so tired, get tired,

647
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.239
and so he goes he gets this
freaking briefcase of burgers. Then burgers

648
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:09.559
and we all have burgers and he's
blooged. He splurged and got cheeseburgers with

649
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:15.079
cheese and pickles. Oh yeah,
so we had about fifteen of those.

650
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:21.440
That's good anyway, Machin's Aftermath.
Those were the mini boosters with like five

651
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.480
cards in them. Yep, no
commons, no bullshit. What did you

652
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:28.159
think about that? I like that
a lot. I really liked Aftermath.

653
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.719
The more I looked back at it, the more I really liked it.

654
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.840
And I'm gonna tell you why.
Never before his Magic the Gathering Ever released

655
00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:39.599
a set where one hundred percent of
the cards were actually playable except after Math.

656
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:44.280
No way, because that's a good
piece of review right there. You

657
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.880
can look at every card and Aftermath
and every single card. I'm not saying

658
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:52.639
it's the best card, but it's
a card that could go in your deck,

659
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:55.760
whether it be dinosaurs or sea monsters
or I want to draw cards Dot

660
00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:00.639
Deck or Attack he Equippy, Attackie
or Land. It's all there, and

661
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:07.320
it's all playable. It was supposed
to supplement. It's like it wrapped up

662
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.320
the story of if you gave a
shit about that, it wasn't it was

663
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:16.800
nothing mechanically to do like you need
to get these to complete this meld set

664
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:21.199
from the previous set. It wasn't
anything mechanically for the game. It was

665
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:25.559
story driven and the mechanics on the
cards played well with March of Machine cards.

666
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:29.280
Right. Yes, and there are
some there's some cool that Nissa is

667
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.199
really cool. There's an enchantment that
finally you keep a ball lightning forever.

668
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:36.920
Yes, just lots of neat stuff
there that you don't And there was a

669
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:39.480
lot more of those that seemed to
be crammed into that set than most other

670
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:44.639
sets. I think that's because they
weren't I'm gonna use the air quotes balancing

671
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:49.320
for the draft environment, and because
they you know, made the packs full

672
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:52.519
price for a third of the cards, so all the cards were a little

673
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.239
bit better the machine. Yeah,
I don't, I don't know if I'm

674
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:59.559
I don't know if I have a
complaint about that. Let's make the packs

675
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:01.360
the same ice would give us less
but give us better stuff. Yeah,

676
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:06.800
I'm oh, give us better stuff. But and I'm gonna circle back again,

677
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:13.239
give us better stuff, but the
packs same price, less cards,

678
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:19.280
less cards, same price sounds bad? Yes, cards, better packs,

679
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.760
same price, this is good.
Yes, this is a good thing.

680
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:29.119
I agree, Okay, I concur
Okay. So what's the next set after

681
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:31.800
Aftermath? Yeah? Baby, Oh
this is the one? Hey, hey

682
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:37.840
it's Commander Master. Wait a second, what ain't you missed one? You

683
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.119
missed one? Well, I forgot
that one even existed? Yes, which

684
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.039
one? Is it? Right?
Yes? What is this? Hang on?

685
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:49.599
Lord of the Rings? What is
that? Baby? I never heard

686
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:53.280
of that Lord of the Rings,
Tails of Middle Earth. It's pretty good.

687
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:57.199
It's fine, it's pretty good.
You ever heard of the one ring?

688
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:02.320
Yeah? Tune into my top five
cards of the year? Are there

689
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:12.880
three cards from? Ah? I
did an honorable mention which included, ah,

690
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.800
there's a little bit of pile of
bones for everybody. I did an

691
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:20.360
honorable mention that included Lord of the
Rings cards. There's a cycle, and

692
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:22.280
then there were some cards. I
don't want to spoil it, but this

693
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:30.039
set was very good, very well
received, many many, many powerful cards.

694
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:36.199
Yes, yes, we got an
extra special little I guess what do

695
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:40.920
we call it? Experience? I
guess with this set because the release for

696
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:50.000
it, the pre release weekend for
it was the Edmonton Regional Championship weekend that

697
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.480
we did the Edmonton command Fest.
Remember it was command Fest Lord of the

698
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:57.679
Rings. Yeah, we were there. Yeah, and I did two seals.

699
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:02.239
I did a casual Tim Horton's not
Sealed event where we like traded cards

700
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:06.920
and played each other's decks and stuff. But it was sealed, and I

701
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.760
lost to a guy who got double
orcs bow Masters. Geez, I wonder

702
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:13.719
why, ye orchy b and mirkwood
bats. That's what I lost to.

703
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:15.719
That'll do it. That'll do it
every time. Yeah. And then you

704
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.719
and I did sealed too, had
a giant ran the table. Yea.

705
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.000
We beat some folks. We beat
some folks. Yes, yes, there

706
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:27.199
was times where we didn't even lose
lives. Yes, yes, yes,

707
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.239
yes, yes yes there are times
where we had to throw a magic at

708
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.280
ourselves so that we didn't feel like
we're blown people out. Yes, yes.

709
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:36.880
And the funniest part about that when
you okay, so when you play,

710
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.800
like when we have to do sealed
or whatever, whenever we do it,

711
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:42.920
we pretend we're nubes hey, like
how much life do we start at?

712
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.880
And we put our lands like not
how we normally do, and we

713
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:51.239
say like is this good? We
pretend right, and never played before when

714
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:55.280
people find out like that. We
are ringers, not freaking' noobes. It's

715
00:47:55.400 --> 00:48:00.159
very funny. That's our thing.
So we did that and Alex and Aiden

716
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:05.440
came to that with us, and
you guys, did you play any of

717
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:07.800
the pre cons with them or was
it just them? Oh? No,

718
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.000
I avoided the ship out of that. Yeah. They helped us run the

719
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:15.239
CEO booth at the Command Fest and
they were jamming games of pre cons.

720
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:22.320
We fired eighty three games that weekend. That's pretty good out of our booth,

721
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.119
and a lot of them were pre
con games because we had a set

722
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:27.840
of the pre cons. Yes,
if we just they come in and play

723
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.960
our handy dandy precond This is this
is what I'll say of the Lord of

724
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:35.000
the Rings because I've done a bunch
of live streams and we've covered it a

725
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.239
lot, and we've detected a lot. Best set of the year, this

726
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:44.800
is mine. I think you could
probably ask ten people that aren't Brando,

727
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:46.920
and probably ten people I wouldn't be
surprised if they said that this is the

728
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:52.400
best product of the year, because
it's frickin' the best. It had the

729
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.039
most powerful cards in it. Yeah, three of the pre cons were very,

730
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:02.199
very powerful. The elf voting one
wasn't as powerful and annoying. Yes,

731
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.320
the salur On one fun to play, very powerful, very flavorful because

732
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.280
you get all the bad guys in
one deck, like Doctor who did to

733
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:15.039
coincidentally same colors gris is because they're
the villains. Yeah. The Charge of

734
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:22.559
the row Herem deck very very very
powerful, and the and the Hobbit deck

735
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.639
was stronger than you'd think, stronger
than you think, and I think the

736
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.599
most tunable because it takes like a
couple of card switches. And then now

737
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:34.960
you've got a combo deck. Yes, yeah, which we've done on the

738
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.280
show. Yes we did so.
Yeah, hands down my favorite set.

739
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.400
I don't I don't know if I
have a favorite card out of the set,

740
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.679
but oh I do, I do
one of my favorite cards of the

741
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:50.280
Okay, well let's save it to
the end. You got anything to say

742
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:52.840
about Lord of the Rings that I
haven't already said? Ever, Fine,

743
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:55.920
for those of us that aren't Lord
of the Rings weaves it was fine,

744
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.440
A seven ten fine with it.
I mean it was a it was a

745
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:07.119
luxury priced, yes, saying you
know, and it was the draft and

746
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:12.679
set boosters were a little bit more. It was the It was the collector

747
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.599
packs that I think lost five that's
how much they were here, seven,

748
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:22.599
ten, forty five, yes,
yeah, and the collector packs even went

749
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:24.880
up as high as sixty I remember
before they found the ring, and when

750
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:28.280
they found the ring, they went
back down to forty five. Yeah,

751
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.719
and now you can't really get them
anymore, right, because it was a

752
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.880
one time specialty product. Man,
that's too bad. Hey, the collector

753
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:37.400
boosters are all like that. I
think that people notice it more with things

754
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.519
like Lord of the Rings and Doctor
Who. But the fact is there's one

755
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:45.400
run of collector boosters and that's it. Yeah. If they show up at

756
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:49.800
your lgs more than once, it's
because the distributor had some left, or

757
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:53.840
the stores were they said, okay, get me eighty cases or whatever they

758
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:58.920
got sixty forty now and we'll take
forty later, yeself. Yeah, that's

759
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:01.039
where all that comes from. There's
all the collector boosters are like that.

760
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:06.159
It just so happened that the Lord
of the Rings once sold out immediately.

761
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:08.960
Yeah, so man, we noticed
it more. Okay, last memory about

762
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:14.920
Lord of the Rings from Edmonton.
We the doors opened and our booth right

763
00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:16.199
by the door. Hey, yeah, right, by the doors. Perfect.

764
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:20.159
We had a banner and everything,
and we're walking in and it was

765
00:51:20.199 --> 00:51:23.079
fricking raining so hard all weekend.
Remember we're walking in. We're late because

766
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:28.000
of the rain and traffic and parking
and covering up our boxes with our merchant

767
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.559
shit. So we walk in,
the doors are locked. We're calling like

768
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:36.280
Kelly the event organizer, and there's
dudes waiting in line being like hey Ryan

769
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:38.119
Lebrando, Yes, cco, we're
coming right to the booth or whatever.

770
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:44.719
Right, Yeah, the door's open. Everybody runs to the vendors just to

771
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:49.360
buy collector boosters and Lord of the
Rings and then Rich the owner of Fusion

772
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:54.360
Fusion Gaming online dot com you remember
them. Rich says to me, yeah,

773
00:51:54.559 --> 00:52:00.559
Lord of the Rings, collector boxes. Then tire event sold out in

774
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:06.599
seven minutes. Yep gone, Yeah, we're gone. We managed to score

775
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.480
two of them, we did.
We opened FID with Aaron and Tyler.

776
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:12.320
Yeap, dude, that was freaking
fun as a good one. You got

777
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.239
hammered on your box, all you
got you turned like six hundred dollars into

778
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:19.800
like freaking forty into dollars. It's
worse in Vegas, Yes, it was.

779
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:23.920
I couldn't I could have actually gambled
instead of foe gambled and probably done

780
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:31.480
better Uncle Brando's Vegas while not in
Vegas Emporium. Yes, off set,

781
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:36.480
this is Commander Masters, And I'm
gonna go on record and I'm gonna say,

782
00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:38.480
yeah, I might catch some shit
for this. I think this is

783
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:45.159
this is real worst set of the
year because of the price, and I

784
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:50.840
think that it had a lot of
now that we're not talking about like hyped

785
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:54.760
about it and like the hype trade
right now, what was here? Honestly,

786
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:00.159
Andy Warhol profile pictures with Allard Demonic
Tutor. I don't know, like

787
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:06.119
textured foil, jeweled Lotus, that's
pretty good. Sure, sure, sure

788
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:09.320
if you get that textured foil,
the which ones do I have, because

789
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:14.360
you can go out and just buy
them now and they're not very much money.

790
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:21.760
I have a Koselec and yeah,
and the Goblin Dude Grenzo and the

791
00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:28.280
Minuttar guy Naheb, and I bought
all of them for not very much money.

792
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:32.920
All of them individually cost me less
than ten bucks. So here's the

793
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:37.000
thing though, So all this the
set was fine and powerful stuff, it

794
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:40.360
was not worth the price in any
way, shape or form. It did

795
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:45.320
nothing to bring down the cost of
cards that like the big stuff, the

796
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.719
jeweled lotus, the medallions, the
prices didn't come down. I think some

797
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:52.760
of them actually went up. The
medallions went down a few dollars for a

798
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:58.840
while, yeah, And the rest
of the cards were all kind of There

799
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:02.679
were cards like this set sucked and
balls it. I think there were cards

800
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:07.039
like and don't quote me on the
exact cards, but a card that comes

801
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.960
to mind is like Selvalla, where
a Salvalla was like six bucks or eight

802
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:14.559
bucks and the foils were like one
hundred and then it came out in this

803
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:17.880
and foils went got chopped in half
and the card went down to a dollar

804
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:23.599
and it was what it was,
a jumpstart card, right, the conspiracy.

805
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:30.079
Yeah, so there was cards like
that that were artificially expensive because there

806
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:34.239
was scarcity, right, But then
it just gets a set release and it's

807
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.079
fine, now it is what it
should be. So it did that.

808
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:40.519
It did that, and cards like
the medallions went from thirty five to twenty

809
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:43.679
seven or twenty five and it's like, well, I'll get it now,

810
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:47.719
I guess or I opened what I
opened up a sapphire medallion in a sealed

811
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:52.519
pool and I'm like, great,
I actually needed this card and I'm going

812
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:58.199
to play this copy of this card
because I perfect now right, And sure

813
00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:00.519
I had to shell out the money
for the booster packs or the sealed or

814
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:06.280
whatever, but if I was gonna
do that anyways, and also got a

815
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:08.480
thirty five dollars card I wanted.
Neat. That's what the set did for

816
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:13.000
me. Yay. Yeah, so
I don't know, I was unimpressed by

817
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:15.519
it. And how about when you
opened up last card to the whole freaking

818
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:19.320
pack though, you opened up a
foiled Jude Motus. That was when we

819
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:21.760
were open flipping at my cousin's house. That was really cool, dude,

820
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:23.639
Man, I wish we were videotaping
that one. That's where you were like

821
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:30.000
you're feeling the bottom of it and
you just go fucking that boy. Yeah,

822
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:32.159
you were actually pissed off. You're
like, oh, man, I

823
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:36.519
got this on sale and I even
the sale price. I made fucking half

824
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:38.639
my money back. He was like, actually was pissed right, Yeah,

825
00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:42.559
And uh, you got like a
demonic tutor or something, didn't you was,

826
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.440
Oh that was Alex, not you. Yeah, that was not me.

827
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.840
And you're feeling the back of it. Fuck is not even textured whatever.

828
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:52.079
You flip it over and it was
Alex, me, you, Laura

829
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:57.039
and my cousin Jess, And you
flipped it over and as soon as you

830
00:55:57.079 --> 00:56:00.239
started to move the hand, like
Lara was drinking and just doesn't play,

831
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:02.039
so she didn't know what it was. And Alex, I think I just

832
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:06.159
reacted faster than he did because you
moved your hand away and I saw that

833
00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:09.960
it was a jewel lotus and we
were all like wow, just like what

834
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:15.159
the dogs are going on? The
dogs? Fuck? Yeah, man,

835
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:16.800
And we're already kind of half in
the bed because we're already at the bar

836
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:21.960
that night. Yeah, and uh
man what at the time, it was

837
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:23.400
like a two hundred dollars car.
It was awesome. It was that was

838
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:28.360
cool and I'm glad I own that. But like overall, that's a again,

839
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:31.079
that's one of those like fancy upgrades
that ye did I need it?

840
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:34.280
No? Did I want it?
Yeah? I did. And if you

841
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.840
take it to a vendor or a
store and even if they give you like

842
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:43.039
sixty percent store credit, you you
immediately paid for the box that you got

843
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:45.480
it in, because yeah, because
you got the box, I think from

844
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:50.159
Fusion on Sale, right, Yeah, they just had a sale because they

845
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:52.159
were like packing up because it was
Sunday. We don't want to put these

846
00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:55.039
on the bus to get them home. Yeah, so you just grabbed him

847
00:56:55.039 --> 00:57:00.719
by the shirts summer and give me
your discount. I do that in real

848
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:02.360
life. And then the guy get
this is weird and they go and get

849
00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:05.920
the boss and the boss gives and
he's like, what now, Brando,

850
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.000
it's awesome. Next set, Next
set, Wilds of l Drain. Do

851
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:13.039
you remember what wild Drain? Uh? This gave us one of the best

852
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:15.440
cards of the year. It happened
in Beseech the Mirror. This is a

853
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:22.920
very powerful card it gave us.
But what, like, you're a Aron

854
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:25.679
Carr is going to be mad because
he's a big ld Drain he likes this

855
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:31.239
one. But like, did I
feel like Wilds of l Drain was awesome?

856
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:36.320
Yep, until Ixlamb came out and
then nobody gave a ship about it.

857
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:40.039
Wilds of l Drain was as cutesy
and fun as I like my magic

858
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:45.320
sets to be, just not serious
enough for it to be all doom and

859
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:49.199
gloom like like we had in earlier
in the year. Earlier in the year,

860
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:53.039
like all will be won and brothers
war and all about war and like

861
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:59.159
the body decay of time and people
getting their skin ripped off, and then

862
00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:02.519
we get like candies that are trying
to eat you. That's kind of funny

863
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:07.639
because it wasn't an onset, because
like we are on the record of not

864
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:12.800
liking unsets very much or if at
all, And this gave me exactly the

865
00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:16.239
amount of fun that I wanted.
And I was happy to pick up some

866
00:58:16.280 --> 00:58:21.480
of the singles that I needed correct
And it was fun to look at the

867
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:24.440
art in high res because it was
all really nice. I really like that

868
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:29.320
showcase one where it's like the big
pink cake eating that guy. Yes,

869
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:30.760
I still like I have one of
those. I just like to show people

870
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:34.559
sometimes look at this card. It's
crazy, Like that's awesome, you know

871
00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:39.159
what? Because this was the wilds
of l Drain, I kind of wish

872
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:43.679
that they would have done a new
showcase border for it, like a gingerbread

873
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:46.039
style one, because there's so much
to do with food coming right off the

874
00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:50.480
Lord of the Rings. They're doubling
down on food, right, double downing

875
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:54.840
on food. Nah, never eat
those he poop somebody else's pants. Yep,

876
00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:59.360
yep, yep, yep. That
was a bacon eater. Actually,

877
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:06.480
CEU episode five, I think cut
still my son's favorite story. U.

878
00:59:06.840 --> 00:59:08.400
No, this set was good.
Nothing wrong with it, I have no

879
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:12.719
there was. Agatha's Coffin was in
it too. That's a card that people

880
00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:17.199
like. No, Agatha's Soul Cauldron
Coffin Cauldron Cauldron another one of the best

881
00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:21.039
cards of the year. Actually,
you can make soup in either of those

882
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.320
things. Agatha's Soul Cauldron was one
of the cards that Cecio Nation on the

883
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:30.519
Discord suggested to me the most for
their top cards of the year, because

884
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:34.119
you can comble with it, you
can get value with it. It's a

885
00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:38.639
graveyard remover. It made my honorable
mention. Though it's a money remover.

886
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:42.920
It just takes money out of your
wall. Yes, it made my honorable

887
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:46.599
mention, and I went deep on
Commander at Populum two seventeen. Sure,

888
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:51.559
I also liked the Enchanting Tales,
and yes, those I thought were great,

889
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:53.840
and they brought a lot of with
the exception I think of Riistic study.

890
00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:57.800
They all went down. I think
that all of them not only did

891
00:59:57.800 --> 01:00:00.679
they go down, but they went
down to like, if you want to

892
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.320
play these cards, do it because
they're like a buck. Yeah, because

893
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:07.920
they put two Enchanting Tail slots in
a collector pack, didn't they. Yeah,

894
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:10.400
there was two slots, and some
of them were like common and uncommon,

895
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:14.000
so you got a lot of duplicates, as you do when you buy

896
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:19.480
lots of collector packs. But Intruder
Alarms and Parallel Lives, Yeah, all

897
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:22.519
those cards came down to like,
Sneak Attack was in there, very reasonable.

898
01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:25.320
The only one I like, I
say, the only one, the

899
01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:30.239
only one that wasn't brought down to
heal, so to speak, was Ristic

900
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:32.360
Study. Oh and Smothering Titties.
Yeah, oh no, it was only

901
01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:36.800
the hashtag web stuff one though.
Yeah, the anime confetti foil one is

902
01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:38.840
still lots of money. But the
Rumpel still skin one is still like oh

903
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:43.440
yeah that was in there. Ten
but it looks like the paper art one.

904
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:45.559
Yeah yeah yeah, And it's cool
if you want to play those cards

905
01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:50.199
you can now. And the reason
you can the Enchanting Tail sheet in Eldrain.

906
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:52.880
And I still like that paper art
style too. I like that.

907
01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:54.199
I like those two like that.
Where do we go from there? Where

908
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:59.440
do we go? From after Wilds
of l Drain, there was a oh

909
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:06.639
Doctor Super Layers. Doctor Who is
next Who my favorite set of these.

910
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:10.559
This is your favorite more than all
Wibi won. This is my favorite,

911
01:01:10.599 --> 01:01:15.199
like overall product of the all Oily
one is my favorite mainline release. Okay,

912
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:19.440
yeah, Doctor Who is my favorite
product of the year. Not because

913
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:22.159
I'm a huge hoovey in none of
that stuff. Let me see if I

914
01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:25.400
got this right. It's because when
you buy the Commander Decks, you get

915
01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:30.719
one hundred percent of every single card
in the product. Absolutely, you spend

916
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:34.079
the three hundred dollars or whatever it
is on the Commander Decks and you have

917
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:38.039
a complete set of Doctor Who.
Correct. If you don't want that and

918
01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:42.559
you want to spend a little bit
less money and get a collector booster box,

919
01:01:43.679 --> 01:01:45.119
you can do that. You can
take a shot and see what you

920
01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:50.760
get. And I love that because
it's it's I don't know how to articulate

921
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:52.880
it, even it's you can go
out and just buy the shit because you

922
01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:55.519
want to play with it. That's
awesome, yes, But if you want

923
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:59.880
to go and get special treatments and
foils and all this stuff, then you

924
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:02.320
roll the dice on it. Yep, right, or buy an individually a

925
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:07.719
Fusion gaming online correct. And I
think that if if every Magic set could

926
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.719
do that, find a way to
do it without limiting like product size or

927
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:21.320
limiting product offerings, like because you
could only buy collector boosters or precons.

928
01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:23.440
That's it, right, Yeah,
so there's no draft for people who like

929
01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:25.880
that, that's not us, but
that's people. Yeah, this is a

930
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:30.280
Commander product. It's for us,
not for you people. Not for you

931
01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:31.880
people, no, man, that's
gonna get us canceled, Not for you

932
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:36.519
drafting scum. But I just I
loved how they handled it. And like

933
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:40.639
all collector boosters are so goddamn expensive, you literally don't have to buy them.

934
01:02:42.119 --> 01:02:46.519
You can forget that they exist because
you can just go out and buy

935
01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:50.599
the shit. And I love that. And it turns out that there's lots

936
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:53.119
of really neat stuff. There are
some decent reprints, and the decks on

937
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:55.960
their own are very fun to play. These are the first Commander decks I've

938
01:02:55.960 --> 01:03:00.519
ever bought that I actually left together, and I use this oil from my

939
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:05.639
boxes to foil them out, so
even my pre con foiled out. Baby

940
01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:10.760
pre cons, you foil savage A
man, A love that said, like,

941
01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:16.000
you know what, I love that
that collector packs drive the price of

942
01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:23.320
like regular foils and some regular nonfoils
down through the floor or into the base.

943
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:27.159
Right, Oh yeah yeah, oh
man. Like I went out and

944
01:03:27.159 --> 01:03:30.719
I bought a Surge like a Surge
foil full art of a Doctor Who card.

945
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:34.960
A little while it was like three
bucks. It was like no money.

946
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:37.480
Remember when Surge foils came out in
uh or Hammer or Hammer and they're

947
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:40.880
all like forty dollars. Yeah,
and now there are no dollars. It's

948
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:44.760
awesome. It would actually cost me
less to get the Surge foil and I

949
01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:47.599
did to get a regular foil or
a nonfoil full art of the same card.

950
01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:51.960
And I love that stuff. I
love that stuff that that happens because

951
01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:54.360
it that's what you want, that's
what you want to see. And Doctor

952
01:03:54.400 --> 01:04:00.519
Who did it and it made me
excited to see fallout and not. We're

953
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:02.360
going to talk about that tomorrow.
But I think that if they do follow

954
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:05.639
it the same way, we're gonna
be we're gonna be in for a treat.

955
01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:09.400
I think that's what I think.
I think it's confirmed that they're not.

956
01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:12.000
Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Next one, next one,

957
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:14.320
last one. This is the last
one, right, last set of the

958
01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:19.719
year. Lost Caverns of Excellent,
Lost Caverns of your Mother's Ass. Is

959
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:26.960
Jurassic Park better than the Enchanting Tales
answer? No, good question, though,

960
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:30.719
good question, but no, no, no, they are not as

961
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:38.000
in the new Jurassic Park cards because
they're new cards, right, are not

962
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:43.639
better than getting reprints of staples,
super sweet staple cards. Correct. And

963
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:45.880
while I'm not saying the cards are
bad, they're not, but I would

964
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:51.559
prefer they use that design space personally
to give us reprints of stuff, reprints

965
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:59.760
of stuff and put them into Could
you get Enchanting Tails reprints in el drain

966
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:03.159
in set boosters, Yep, you
get them anywhere. They're everywhere. Yes.

967
01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:10.760
I like that because there's always cards
that are gonna either spike and stay

968
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:16.559
high or overtime creep back up and
watsy before before sorry, before they get

969
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:21.760
to like the thirty forty dollars unreprintable
threshold wats you can just go whoop,

970
01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:29.079
put them in a collector special printing
pack that we're gonna print anyways and whoop.

971
01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:34.000
Done. I e riistic study.
It's uncommon smothering tie that was a

972
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:41.840
common improphecy. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, and the best of the cards

973
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:45.400
with the ristic prefix. I think
it might be the only playable one with

974
01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:48.039
the ristic prefix. There is one. There's a tutor that lets you search

975
01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:51.880
for any card unless somebody pays one. Yeah, and it costs that card

976
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:57.199
to play. It costs three.
Yeah cars. That card's terrible. Yeah,

977
01:05:57.199 --> 01:05:59.960
add one amount of any color to
your man unless it pays well,

978
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:04.400
oh, what is it ristic quarry? I think I think it is.

979
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:06.519
I think so, man. I
love that I've got a bunch of those.

980
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:12.320
Jurassic Park was cool, it was
neat. I know that it's an

981
01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:16.360
endearing part of like especially millennial pop
culture, because it came out in the

982
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:21.760
early nineties and and has been a
fran like a movie franchise and a video

983
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:27.920
game franchise and a toy franchise and
a cartoon franchise. Even even now there's

984
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:30.320
Drastic Park cartoons on now that my
kid watches, yeah, like twenty five

985
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:33.880
or thirty years. Yeah. So
I know that people are very into it,

986
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:38.960
and I respect that, especially as
somebody who who got my cake and

987
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:41.719
got to eat it too. With
the Lord of the Ring set to have

988
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:45.519
a Jurassic Park thing come out,
even though I agree, I would like

989
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:53.719
to see expensive reprints before new cards. And maybe because Jurassic Park probably is

990
01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:59.320
deep enough, it probably could have
got it in its entire own treatment like

991
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:02.400
fallout Doctor Who. Maybe not like
Lord of the Rings, maybe there isn't

992
01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:06.559
that much, but definitely like Doctor
Who, where there's four pre cons and

993
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:12.239
done right, like make a Jurassic
Park pre con for each movie or each

994
01:07:12.599 --> 01:07:15.400
like make it, make a fucking
two of them, make a dinosaur pre

995
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:20.519
con and a human pre cone and
introduce some like come play in the store

996
01:07:20.599 --> 01:07:24.880
variant where like the dinosaurs try to
kill the humans or make it like a

997
01:07:24.920 --> 01:07:29.840
two headed giant commander thing, you
know, and and you can extra market

998
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:33.840
it like that without without having to
do a whole set like Lord of the

999
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:38.880
Rings. But Drassic Park was good, Exelon was good. We always could

1000
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:45.320
use more like classic creature type stuff. Always need more dinosaurs, we always

1001
01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:47.320
need more more folks. We always
need more vampires because that's the ship that

1002
01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:53.039
people likes to play, and less
goblins that are blue monkeys just throwing that

1003
01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:57.079
out there, just thrown, unless
it's just their butt Cheeks Man, We've

1004
01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:00.920
come full circle, had all the
way back to the butt Cheeks Favorite cards

1005
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:04.599
of the year. What do you
got mine? Nas Gool Nazy like Nasgool

1006
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:12.559
the lot refitted my entire talks Real
deck so I could play Nasgool never looked

1007
01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:16.800
back, Can't Stop, Won't Stop. Favorite card of the year is obviously

1008
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:23.119
brash Hunter, But since he was
released back in twenty didn't he didn't get

1009
01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:25.840
a reprint this year? Or did
he? I think he actually did.

1010
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:29.279
I think he was in a collector
command. He wasn't released this year,

1011
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:32.439
it doesn't count. I think that
my very most favoritist card that has come

1012
01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:39.640
out this year is and hear me
out The daalk Emperor. Oh yeah,

1013
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:44.680
yep is a seven man a thing
with like affinity for dles. But every

1014
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:48.800
every upkeep he makes your opponents either
sack a dude or gives you a three

1015
01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:54.119
to three menus guy with haste.
And it gives me the opportunity to like

1016
01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:59.880
scream exterminate at the top of my
lungs in public and nobody can get mad

1017
01:08:59.880 --> 01:09:02.880
at me. Yes so, and
I actually added it to like three different

1018
01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:05.399
decks, and I always get really
excited when you get to play it.

1019
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:09.479
Love that card? Yeah, love
it a lot. Yeah. And you

1020
01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:13.520
said your favorite Commander product was Doctor
Who, your favorite set was All but

1021
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:15.640
would be one. Yep, I
love the aesthetic of All will be one,

1022
01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:19.319
but I have to give both props
to Lord of the Rings earth right.

1023
01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:21.920
We all knew, Yeah, we
all knew favorite card? Though?

1024
01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:27.000
What do tell? Do tell man? There's so many There was like eighty

1025
01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:30.399
six thousand cards that came out this
year. What could the favorite be?

1026
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:32.560
Yes? You know what, I'm
legitimately curious about this. Is it gonna

1027
01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:34.800
be some weeb shit? Is it
gonna be no? You know what?

1028
01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:41.000
You know what? I want to
say. My heart goes to thick Daddy

1029
01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:45.199
Souron like I played it on the
first episode of season two, Sidewalk Slam.

1030
01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:48.479
It's coming out next week. I
it's It's one of my favorite decks.

1031
01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:51.720
Now it's all upgraded, but it's
only Lord of the Rings cards.

1032
01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:55.880
The card is so goddamn powerful.
You pay eight man and you get like

1033
01:09:56.000 --> 01:10:00.520
twenty power worth of guys across three
bodies. It's fantastic. But I also

1034
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:04.359
built guy here the Windlord, which
is like a bird deck, but the

1035
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:06.800
card is not that good. You
could say the one ring, but that

1036
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:11.199
feels like a cop out. Yep. Here's a card that I had a

1037
01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:14.479
whole whole ton of fun with,
though it's a fun ass card. This

1038
01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:17.640
is Pallenteer of or thank If you
want to take your time to win a

1039
01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:20.640
game of magic, tell you you
play this card. I do play that

1040
01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:24.760
card, actually, Palenteer or thank
Yeah, I play it in my wolfgar

1041
01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:28.199
El Drawsi deck. Yeah, because
people don't think it's all drawsy right away.

1042
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:30.680
So you drop it on turn three
and you stry one. There's a

1043
01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:32.479
twelve drop on top, and they
will, oh, you definitely mill one.

1044
01:10:32.520 --> 01:10:34.159
Suck. It's like, yeah,
take twelve. Yeah, and then

1045
01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:40.760
everybody's afraid. They're like it's it's
uh you you scry. And then you

1046
01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:44.680
put a like a what is it
a thought counter or something on influence count

1047
01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:48.079
influence counter, yeah, influence counter, and then you mill equal to influence

1048
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:53.079
counters, and they take damage equal
to the converted amount of cost of the

1049
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:56.000
cards milled, or they let you
draw, or they let you draw a

1050
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.920
card. I twelve somebody on the
first one just like b cute see,

1051
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:01.359
and then shuffled my graveyard into my
library, and then the next time it

1052
01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:05.199

1055
01:11:14.800 --> 01:11:16.960
