He listen to Commandical Podcast episode four thirty nine. I'm Brando, I'm here
Thryan and did we're gonna talk about Maddy Ho Ho Ho Commander Edition super Duper
Premium Plus now in our theme song. Hey Ryan, We're back for yet
another whirlwind adventure. How you doing good? What is going down? Mudy
ho Ho Home super Duper Adventure foil Butt Crack Edition. That's what I said.
We have some of the glorious product on display in front of us because
we're I don't know for webs that way, or we physically have it,
so we figure might as well put some of it on the table. And
maybe being in the damn studio with all this good energy will put some good
vibes into this box where I open it this afternoon. Maybe I won't get
rolled up into a carpet set on fire and thrown into the river. That
would be dope. Hey, Well, at least you'd be put out.
That's that's true. And before we talk about what we could get in here,
we have to thank her official business, Daddy's Fusion Gaming Online dot Com.
You're a source for all your gaming needs. And we have to thank
Pile of Bones Brewing Co. They're the second coolest thing to come out of
Regina and the official beer sponsor for CEO Sidewalk Slam Season two right here on
YouTube. Very much, so yeah big thanks to the business Daddy's Fusion Gaming
online dot com, where I went and ordered some Maudiho ho ho. That's
Modern Horizons three for those unacquainted singles. What'd you get? I'm too.
I got a discount when I used c CEO Saved promo code at checkout.
Oh my god. Wait, you like you were gonna buy these things anyway,
Yes, sir, and you were just one of them and then you
paid money for them. Yes, but then you paid less money for them.
Yes, amazing. All of those things are true. I was gonna
buy the stuff anyways. The dragon that gives all your guys, what does
it do again? I don't know. The Ferrexian dragon that gives all your
guys emerge that one. We sacrifice guys to make them cheaper. That's right,
I got that one. I got Null Drifter, that's mull Drifter.
But El Drazi five we're gonna talk about that today instead of four, Yes,
but in Animars zero instead of blue. Ah. Yeah, much better
yeah, yeah, yeah, So we're gonna talk about some of that nostalgia.
We're gonna talk about all the El Drazzi and all the modern Horizons three
stuff. Big thanks to Pilo Bones, which we will be going to.
Oh yeah, okay, so here's the skinny. Everybody knows now that we're
not going to Magic Con Las Vegas this year. Thanks Alex, yeah big,
big, thanks Alex big. If you we have the nation though,
Cecio Nation still in full force, right And sink guy his name's Jared,
organized the Cecio Experience Las Vegas. What a good guy. Yeah, And
for those attending, I'm gonna be updating the website so they can check out
for the experience on the website and then I just give all the money to
Jared. But that's still gonna be a thing. And if you're planning to
go to Las Vegas, you gotta find people in this shirt or that shirt
or any commander cookout shirt because everybody always wears their commander cookout shirts. So
they can they caught each other, yeah, spot each other and get the
beers going in the command zone. People are gonna try and break my record
for most beers of all time. Good I wonder if people can break my
record for most beers in one day. They probably can. I mean,
it's it is possible. I don't know, man, those are like Gretzky
records. I don't think those records that would get broken. But cecial experience
is not what we're gonna be doing, because we're gonna be at the Pile
of Bones tap room for the Face to Face Games tour stop in Regina in
September, which is just as good. You know what if we're there drinking
beers together, Pile of Bones eating street talkers. They got takoas there,
they have street talk Vegas. Yeah, man, yeah, you know what's
cheaper to go to than Vegas, Regina? But it is Regina. Yeah,
we of course. Yeah, at the end of the day, you
do end up in Regina in that situation, which kind of sucks. It
is walking distance from the convention venue, though not Regina. I guess Regina
would be you're in Regina. We still have to drive Regina. Is walking
distance from Regina? Is it walking distance from Keel's house where I assume we'll
be staying. No, No, it isn't. Keel prepare for house guests,
lots he already didsage. Lots of Ceco nationalites and the Ceco du bros
are planning to come down. And because I wanted to pack the pack the
tap room, Keel's bringing some buddies. Yeah, and our buddy Mike from
Pilot Bone Pile of Bones is going to come bring some of his friends the
face to face games guys. After they pack up the show, they're gonna
come. Some wives might come. Oh man, so it's gonna be a
big old like fun time. It will be kind of like in that that
time we went to that place in BC, except yes, yes, just
like that, but different. Was that fun? It was? Oh yeah,
it's great. Kil was there too, he was. We drink beer.
That's probably why it was fun. I ate lots of chicken wings.
I had a burger. It took me like three hours to eat that burger.
And not because I eat slow, because so many people were like talking
to me and I just kept moving around with tables. I would carry my
burger with me, right, and the waitress kept coming over like can I
take that, and took no, I'm gonna eat this. I love this
burger, but I just I'm slow. It's because you eat slow. Well,
you know, there's several factors. Several factors are involved, but the
point is it's gonna be a great time. So if you're thinking about maybe
coming out, or you want to do a smaller magic event that's you know,
and you're from near Regina, yep, coming out. We're going it's
gonna be great time. Yeah, very cool. Okay, a couple more
bits of podcast business. Then we're moving right into ho ho ho oh.
Yeah in the villa, we got stuff that talks about yeah, and we
got some product to open we do. Yeah, this is gonna be cool.
We've never opened product on the show really for a real but it's for
a purpose besides on Brando's box openings, which you have to watch because he's
gonna open that box right there. I'm gonna open this very box. You'd
see it if you're watching on YouTube, it should be Yeah, but this
very box, now, see, I will have already opened it by the
time you the you dear poor slash listener are watching this, so I'll know
what's in there when you see this. But right now I don't know what's
in here. So this could contain something that I actively want. It could
probably won't. It doesn't, but it could might have a mull Drifter or
a Null Drifter in there. I'm guaranteeing right now I will open a Null
Drifter. Okay, cool, guaranteeing it just because you bought one. Yeah,
I'll bet you it's spoiled too. No, I need a nonfoil want
to paint for animar. Oh yeah, you're not gonna get a non foil
one in there? No check. Well, I don't know, man,
Like I read the how to collect and like, what's in all this?
Oh? Yeah, that is. That's why we're gonna start with. Holy
crap, dude, Like there's so much stuff that just gets no talk,
Like there's there's etched hold on, hold on, we're gonna get to that.
We're gonna get to that in like fifteen seconds. We gotta say big,
big props, big thing to Dufferent Avenue Media Network studio producer Gary in
the tooth booth today. I wonder if you forgot to push play on the
TV. He might have, but I think that probably did. We forgive
him though. That's okay. He's rated his job, you know what,
and he's taking good care of us. See, it's all Ryan's fault.
I guess it's my fault. And if there's one thing I've learned working here
at the damn studio with Gary again, is that between Brando and Gary we
can find a way to make everything Ryan's fault. Yes, which is great.
Yes see, Yep, that's pretty much my life now. There it
is. That's my life now. Hey, if you want to be a
part, if you want to support the show, everything on the Commander Cookout
media group, the c c o MG if you will. That's Brando's box
openings, that's Commander History, Commander had Populum, that's uh, Gemston Mine,
Gemstone Mine with John Yeah, I want to call it Johnstone Mine.
Kind of sounds dirty. I like that better. Yeah. We've got gameplay
coming up, short and long form all available, and new projects coming up
that we were talking about yesterday. Showed you the logo for it. Uh
yeah yeah yeah, new projects coming up. If you want to be the
first to know, Patreon dot com, slash CEO podcast and it helps us
do like more stuff like going to Regina. Yeah, and when we do
go to Vegas, we'll be back there eventually, and when we go to
Calgary later of the year, which everybody, of course is invited to and
we encourage you to come. It's a good time. We're gonna go to
the Unicorn, whether Ryan likes or not, any does Michael. You know
what their Their house beer is so good it is. Yeah, so yeah,
big props to the patrons. First first first flush, first flush on
the new merch which you can get at the CEO Store now discounts on merch
at the CEO Store, invites to the CEO Experience, they get it all,
and of course discord access where we talk with all the creators and all
the deck builders and all the all the beautiful minds and people in CEO Nation.
Very interesting humans, to be sure, seven out of ten's at best,
but I mean they're still interesting, yeah, very much. So being
a seven doesn't mean that you're not interesting or cool. It just means that
you're fucking seven. Yeah. And you know what, I will mention if
if because Patron's not everybody's thing. We got Coffee dot com one time donations,
and with the CEO Experiences and reginas and stuff coming up, usually we
get a bunch of influx like Hey buy this guy a beer, or Hey,
I'm gonna buy a round a beer for for whoever's going, or hey,
convention food's expensive, here's here's a little tip or whatever. Right,
great way to support. We've got YouTube membership, now what is that.
It's kind of like Patreon, but if like, you don't want another subscription
and you're already paying for YouTube, you can become a member to CEO on
YouTube. I know it's another option, and I want to exercise all our
options because everything's freaking expensive. Okay, just just go with me on that,
good man. I fine, I'm on board. I'm also here,
yeah, very much. So that's what I wanted to say before we get
into the product review. What is it? I have something that I want
to I want to talk about this because a very large scale content creator that
everybody knows, oh, I know this one, Yeah, recently came out
with his discussion on the Commander decks from this set. Okay, the fact
that there are Commander decks is ridiculous, and the fact that there are collector
Commander decks is also kind of absurd because the prices are stupid. Because this
is a modern product. Is why Commander decks are ridiculous. You don't like
more Commander product. Well, it's just give the modern players their modern decks,
Like, why aren't there modern precons for the modern set? Is all
I'm saying. I know that it's harder to do it for modern but yeah,
but just do it. Okay, It's fine. And on the review
it we didn't get to see what a ripple foil looked like. I haven't
seen one yet either, but we have a we're gonna get to that on
the review from this view, from this high content, I'm not calling him
out as being like a dickhead. I'm not saying he's a liar. I'm
not saying that, but he did say something that I feel is a little
bit disingenuous. So I couldn't get collector's editions of the Commander decks because you
can only get them at WPN stores and so hard to find, and they're
sold out everywhere, and not everybody has access to them and all this stuff,
right, price aside, just availability, I was gonna say, price
aside, most people can't get them because the price kind of walks his people
out right, You're you're boxed out by the price anyway. And I'm not
defending the price, but I will defend the availability. And I'm gonna tell
you why in a second. Here. I don't know what this is,
but it's really sharp. Yes, this is a it's like a bread knife.
That's like fucking this is this is a CC opener that we use to
cut drywall. And and this is a this is a cardboard box, a
sealed gem. The blade right into his thumb. I'm so used to it
that I don't even care anymore. Just see how easy that was, man
like cutting flucker. Now, these decks that are impossible to get, you
can only get from WPN stores. I have them right here. I have
all of them. I have a whole full set of Commander Super Duper Audi
Ho Ho collector boxes before you now, And I got these from our kind
of has a cut in the top of them. Yeah, they all have
a little cut on the top. Now, And these are all from our
local game store that is not a WPN premium store, as much as I
wish it would be. So if you want these, ask your store,
because it's not based on their premium status. It's not based on any of
that stuff. It's based on how you the player support your local game store.
And that's a that's a big one. So if your store didn't get
them, it's not gonna say it's your fault. It's just our's got three
sets of these. And that's why I have these. The store gave them
to me to show off on the show a little bit to let you know
that ourlgs got them. Fusion did get them as well. Yep. So
if you are somebody that's into getting these kind of super high end premium products,
you can get them. And they're not like, yes, there's too
expensive. No, they're rarely worth it. But if you want them,
they are available to you, and get them at your local game store if
you can. Yeah, very much, So very well said. And when
you say support your local game store, that meets a couple of things.
It means going and paying money for singles and and it means going to their
commander nights and registering through the Companion app. So wats he can track how
many players play on a weekly basis at the LGS right, like sign up,
play games and and help your lgs. Oh, you can actually open
them too, Well, this one's mine. One of these does belong to
me. The other ones are on loan, and I kind of feel bad
that I cut the tops of them a little bit. But I'm sure that
which one did you get? I got the graveyard overdrive one, which I'm
convinced is the worst one by a very large march. You didn't want the
l drowsy one. Oh I can't afford those rosy one. Do you think
I've made of money? Are you kidding me? I don't have that much
excitement in my whole body? So what do we get? What's that thing?
Okay, this is doing a box opening live on the show we Are.
It's an envelope. Oh, it's got the it's got the rules thingy.
My son likes these. Okay, you can have that one. No,
no, we can't have that. Oh I don't need more stuff in
my house. Okay, but this is what it looks like. It's got
that lady. There's a non premium Spinner Life cardboard thing. Okay, I
like those. There's a deck box that's foil foil deck box because reasons,
Because of course, there's a body ho Ho three sample collector pack. Can
we open that? Of course we can't. We can do whatever we want.
Can I open it? You're gonna get pounded. And this is a
stack of ripple foils, and we're gonna if we can get once we get
this thing cracked open, we're gonna get producer Gary. Oh yeah, producer
Van of White Gary. We'll see if we can get one of these things
actually held up to the camera so we can all see what a ripple foil
looks like together. Yeah, something okay that he's into. So I'm gonna
get this open. Gary's gonna come out of the booth yep, and he'll
he'll come with us. Keep us on camera too. There, Gary,
you're gonna get to see. I'm gonna get all the pack opening done at
the same time. But I'm not gonna look at what these are. But
I can tell that this one's foiled because it's a taco. Okay, So
I can't release Okay, No, I can see it. Man, that
looks so neat. Hey, so Gar, if you if you just want
to show that to the people, it's kind of like, get it in
front of the camera and and make it so like they can no lights are
the lights are shitty? Good job boys, Yeah, we didn't well we
oh no, no, hold it back closer to me there and then and
then do this when it wiggling around, so you can kind of you can
see the circles on there. Hey, that's pretty cool. Actually, that's
kind of neat. And they're for the How long have they been outside of
the box? Would you say, oh, you should have went on Brando's
camera. Man, that looks really good on Brando's camera. That's fine.
How long how long have these How long have these things been out of the
box? Would you say, I don't know a minute. They're already starting
to curl. No, but they're curling in it in a way that isn't
terrible to curl. The whole box is already curling, So that's cool.
There you go, find the light though, find the light, tilt,
tilt the car, tilt the car. There it is there, you go.
Those are cool, man like And the only way to get cards that
look like that is to buy these these particular Commander products. You can't get
that foiling process in the collector packs, correct, Okay, only from so
that marks them as being available in the preconstructed decks, which is both good
and bad because if these are as rare as some people say, then that
means they're going to be sought after. If they are as abundant as I
believe them to be. They will be worth less than if you open foils
in the unless you can't open foils, which is probably the case now that
I think about it. Well, we're gonna talk about how to collect in
a second. Big thanks to producer Gary for coming out. And he's wearing
a house coat if anybody couldn't tell. Man. Oh and sorry to all
the audio only listeners, which is still the majority of Commander Cookout podcast listeners.
But this is something that's new and like it again. I've never seen
a foiling process like that before, so it might be even worth your time
to check it out. Yeah yeah, okay, now isome Gary? We've
got voted most likely to bring back banding? What fuck? Probably some kind
of romo card. I don't know, I don't know. Okay. Can
we get anything that's in a collector boostra in here? Yes? Okays,
be good. I don't know if we get serialized cards, but we can
get sound good. Let's let's see it we again? Uh, fanatic of
rowan ass. It is a snake. It is a snake. It is
not a naga. It is a snake, which is good and I actually
do like that card. It has eternalized and it makes lots of magics if
you have dudes that are big. Yeah, yeah yeah. Man. If
this costed just green though, Oh I'm gonna play that straight into avy.
Okay, good, I'm car. Okay, this is cool. This is
a This is a really good card. People like that. This is magistrate.
This is my first review card. There it is I'm doing. You're
talking about white cards. Okay, this is a foil retro frame. There's
the see Gary, see how you gotta do it. Let's how you showcase
cards. That's it's so foiled that okay, three to one for white,
one for Rexian human cleric. Whenever another non token creature enters a battlefield under
your control, proliferate. That's so in your Blink decks or decks that play
Cathar's Crusade, you play a creature and then you freaking yeah, proliferate all
your counters. So this is like doubling season when you play Cathar's Crusade.
It goes even more infinite. With the card we previewed, the Turd Bailer
herd mailft Yes, yes, yeah, so cool card. Good open is
that it? There's two cards in there, plus that plus that one.
That's it. It's a collector pack preview. And what a preview it was.
Hey, god damn it. You said it was good. Yeah,
but I just thought there would be three cards in it. No, give
me three cards and one of them is an uncommon Okay, are we talking
white cards? Are we doing nol drasis. Let's do some of the printings
and foiling processes and stuff. How to talk about those first? So when
you open it, I didn't look as much into the play boosters because like
they're random numbers of rares, there's lots of randomness that goes into collecting out
of those. If you get a collector booster to get all the fancy blingy
old border folly, extended arts, all that shit, that's you're gonna find
them. And there's so many different sheets that are printed into this set.
I have no idea virtually where anything is. Yes, when you get into
like the money slots, how many moneies does it cost to get a collector
booster? And can I get just one? Or do they come into those
four packs for like seven thousand dollars you get boxes like this? I okay.
Canadian dollars. I think these are going at time of recording for about
five forty canadius five percent when you use CCEO save promo code, that is
correct. Or if it's your first time shopping at Fusion CeAl Perks, you're
gonna get ten percent off, ten percent store credit kickback. That's like fifty
five dollars off. That's not bad. That's that ain't not that. That's
a good ass deal right there. To tell your friends to order from Fusion
and use CEO Perks because they're gonna get fifty five dollars off that box.
That's pretty good. Yeah, I like that, like that lots and or
you can buy one individual pack. I believe they're forty five. I haven't
seen them in the wild yet. Okay, so still cheaper than a Lord
of the Rings pack, yeah, but more expensive than virtually every single other
collector pack, yes, which I mean, which is what we expected.
I think with a premium product like this, And then when you get to
like your high end rarities, you're gonna get there's this extended art rares one
on my side, there's the for what else is there? There's the profile
arts, the Andy Warhols as we call them around here. But then there's
the there's also reprints that come in from Maddy Ho Ho and Mahdi Ho which
have also been reprinted that I totally forgot about. So you can open things
like Uristic Body and Ragavan and uh Unholy Heat, because that's what you want
to see in the rare path, in the rare slot of your collector.
What wasn't that? Wasn't that a hot modern card? Dough? It was
a common yeah. And then there's your special guests as well, where you
can get like Fury and Solitude and all those and those are the ones with
the full art printing, right, yeah, and they have and those are
like, those are good cards because they only put that art treatment on cards
that they know people are like playing. Yeah, and those ones are also
they have the textured foil so you can like to have little fingerprint thing on
them, so and you touch them, they kind of feel cool, and
uh, what I forget? What else is in the special guest slot?
This time? There's ten cards. There's not a ton of really great ones.
Are they sorted on scry fall into special Guests? No, they're not
even on They're not even listed on them because they've got borderless cards, which
we can talk about because it's kind of got my first uh which first cycle
that I want to talk about. So overall, I think that there's a
ton of shit to get in this set, but this one again, we're
gonna stress again. Go to the YouTube channel, watch the BBO, watch
me get destroyed on this box, and buy the singles that you want from
places that you like. Yeah, because that's the you're not gonna open what
you want, and if you do, it's probably not gonna be the one
that you want. There's one, two, three, I think there's seven,
six. There's six different versions of every Fetch land O. There's regular,
regular foil, extended art, extended art foil, there's eight retrofoil,
retro foil for retro borderfoil, borderless and borderless foilf there's eight different treatments you
can open of any one of certain rayars in the See Wow. It's like,
if there's something that you want, they're expensive enough the old packs looking
for it, especially now going by the same modern players are gonna want four
nonfoils in whatever printing Commander players. If you just like spree, buy a
pack and open a fetch Land, that's good. But if you want a
exact copy, like this deck is all full arts. This deck is all
full art foils or retroframes or whatever, you're gonna want to go out and
buy that. And if if it costs forty dollars for one card minus the
five percent from Fusion, correct, you're gonna get exactly what you want instead
of rolling the dice and playing like the What's in the Box game from Family
Guy and paying forty five dollars potentially for nothing. Nothing but and in this
case, I'm going to use the traditional sense of the word nothing but excitement.
Yes, because it is exciting and fun to open these packs. That's
why you gotta watch Brando's box opening on CCO, probably on Friday. Hey
yeah, this is this is Tuesday, So Friday there'll be a BBO and
there's there is lots of exciting stuff you can open. There's serialized cards of
the El Drowsy Titans. There's those promo or proto type. I saw the
first serialized em recool sell online. It was I think twenty nine hundred year
old twenty eight hundred year old Holy Mother that deserves a mother ax. Yeah,
or actually our LGS owner opened just like a like a prototype foil amracool,
which is I think it's going for one hundred or something dollars. Oh
man, I was hoping that you'd say a foil like a serialized one,
because because I want Aaron to open that, yes, and then take us
to the Coachman licensed beverage room. Well, let's talk about me the card.
Let's talk about some cards we've gotten into. So if you want the
stuff, order the singles from the stores that you like fusion. You can
save some money. That's good. Give me so editor Joe doesn't reach through
the microphone and strangle us. Okay, give me your favorite colorless card or
your favorite l drowsy card. Because colorless, we'll do artifacts and lands at
the end. That isn't Oh so Ulamong's your faby it is? Okay,
Well we talked about ulamg and hair Aghast. That's the dragon that I ordered
last week. I do like Elemental Blast too, I think. Okay,
so that's a colorless man like a winding for an instant that says choose one.
You hate that? Hey, I kind of do too, but everybody
knows what it means. Now, what fuck did you just tell what did
you say a winding? Would you call me? What you hear about my
mother? Choose one countertarget multicolored spell, which is like, uh, that's
lots of them. Yeah, but anything that I kind of want to like
really counter right frickin' now is multi or is monocolored? Oh yeah, like
a path to exile when I'm killing you? Yeah, or or like your
blight steel Colossus that you're gonna give haste or a cyclonic rift that you're gonna
use to win the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, so
counter target multicolored spell, which is probably somebody's commander there you got, yeah
in the modern set, or destroy target multi colored Permanent, which is a
game their commander in the modern set. Yeah, for one Frickin' Manna,
which is pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah, this card is gonna
maybe see play in CDH probably. You know what's cool is like you go
manor Rock or Land go, and somebody goes like Man of Rock, Man
of Rock, mann Rock, get Trog go to win. Oh yeah,
in response null elemental Blast Killer gets Trog or something like That's that's how that's
gonna work. That's pretty good. My favorite is null Drifter. It's the
el Drasi fied muld Drifter seven drop el Drasi Elemental four to four. What's
muld Drifter two two two to a flying and this one is a flyer with
annihilator one and a four to four and it's got evoke for Bluetoo. You
can cast it for its e voke cost if you do sacrifice it when it
enters a battle. But a couple of reasons. In my animar deck,
I can cast it for free. And because it's not an artifact creature and
it can cost zero, I can combo and draw my whole deck with a
Get this a Cloudstone curio if you've ever heard of that? Cloudstone curio is
a combo card. I'm what revolutionary baby? What revolutionary? Wow? Do
you have a white card that you're interested in? Yes, and it's the
one everybody's talking about because this card is unbelievable. What is the Ocelot?
That cat okay? The ass slot ass slot cat. So it's a one
one for one with first strike and lifelink okay, and then at the end
of your turn, if you've gained life, you make a cat okay,
And whenever you make a creature token, you would make an additional creature token.
Oh so it's it's real good. If you have the city's blessing.
For each token you control that entered the battlefield this turn, create a token
that's a copy of it. So at the end of your turn, if
you've made a couple of angels or a couple soldiers or whatever, you just
like get more of them. Yeah, it's a token doubler on a at
the beginning of your end step triggered ability. Yep. Okay, so at
the very least you're gonna make two cats, correct, right, You're gonna
gain your life, and then you're gonna make a one one and you're gonna
make another one one right yeah, which is like pretty cool okay. And
then in my very noticeably not a replacement effect. Hey. Yeah, So
when you've got a token doubler and it says make two instead, you're gonna
make two instead on this awesome lot pride, because this is a triggered ability
that just says make another one. Yeah. So if you have a token,
double er up with it. First you'll make two, and then when
you get to your step, you're gonna make two more. They're gonna four
more. Yeah, that's the one token equal six tokens, which is mathematically
bigger than two. Yes, wow and bigger crazy bigger is better. Yes
is not what I tell my wife as you shouldn't, yeah, because then
she'd know yes very much. So. Yeah, there's a couple pieces of
enchantment removal and umbras making a comeback here. And I just did an episode
of Commander ad Populum where I'm looking through every single one of my decks to
try and cut a card for removal, and in my estra the Bald Deck,
I was like, Hey, I've got lots of removal, but I
wonder if Modern Horizons three is gonna give me cheaper removal or like enchantment removal,
you know that, like, hey, make your guy a one one
or lose all abilities in prison them in the moon. Yeah, there's one
in Blue that that does that, So I want to move to Blue.
Oh I know that it's like, uh, have reduced to inconsequentiality or make
inconsequential or something utter insignificance. There we go. Oh yeah, this is
a one and a blue flash enchant creature. Enchanted creature loses all abilities and
is a one one, and you can go colorless to exile enchanted creature,
so you can just get rid of it. Yes, that's in the way.
Yeah, Well you don't always want to do that though, because sometimes
you want to make their commander into nothing and just leave them on the battlefield
until and then nobody attacks that guy, right because he would just block and
recast. But sometimes you do want it out of the way. If you've
got like a big guy that doesn't have trampe, sometimes you want to get
the blocker out of the way. And in case it's a really good one,
I'm looking at what is it? Ugans binding? Is that the one
that I like? Binding? Yeah? That was the hint from the pre
show yees, So it's a it is essentially l drawsy cyclonic rift. So
for Blue two you get an instant with the voids, so technically it's colorless
even though it costs a blue. Yeah, still have to have blue in
your commander's color identity. Very important for new players that are thinking that they
can get away with that, because it's even though the spell is colorless,
it has a blue pip, so its color identity is blue correct, So
then it bounces a thing you don't control it isn't a land back to its
owner's hand. And then it also has a second, very long paragraph where
if you cast a colorless spell that costs seven or more, exile it from
your graveyard and then rift the table. Yeah, that's what it does.
That's pretty good. That's very good. And it's like rift number two with
a fairly significant hoop. Yeah, it makes me feel like it's a little
bit of a fair rift because there's a build restriction. I got to have
a seven drop. I have to have enough seven drops that are colorless in
my deck to make this worth it. Because there's better bounce spells, better
targeted bounce spells. There's actual rift. Yeah, there's actual rift, and
probably my colorless seven drop is going to be on my turn. So I
can only use this under normal circumstances offensively, right, and rift sometimes defensively
is such a frick and pounding or end of turn rift. I win.
Yeah, it turns into an offensive rift, but it's a lot more demoralizing
when it's just like nobody expects it. I like it when it's less demoralizing.
If I'm honest, like this Ugan's binding. Yeah, you's just see
it common. Yeah, this, you know what, this kind of gives
me blue crater hoof vibes because I gotta spend three to to bount something and
have it in my graveyard. Then I got to spend seven, so ten
total, and I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna play this in a deck
with lots of big things. So if I bounce all your shit and then
attack you with all my blue stuff, that gives me creater who vibes greater
blue. That felt so good. That felt so good. Oh yeah,
it doesn't get much better than that. Yeah, that's why you tune into
CEO baby. Yeah. Man, there's a lot of blue cards that I
wanted to talk about. How about how about Harbringer of the Seas. Everybody
knows that this is flood Moon. Yeah yeah, this is the makes all
non basics islands two to morfolk. This card's fricking good. Courage the Truth,
Hope ender Quattle. Yeah, this is an uncommon that I don't think
enough people are talking about. This is a two two devoid flasher flyer,
a drawsy snake because you know snake's fly Yep. There are some snakes that
that's fish yep. When you cast this spell when you cast, not when
it ETPs. When you cast this spell, counter target spell, and opponent
controls unless they pay one. So it's a it's a four spike with a
dude attached to it. Yes, and I like it again for anamar but
I think the card is good and it has two relevant creature types. You
can sure get people with it. That' yes for sure. That's that's nothing.
That's not nothing. Let's talk about the Flare cycle because right next to
the two cards I just talked about is Flare of Denial. Now, this
is a whole cycle, and they all do the same thing. They're all
instants that say when you they all say you may sacrifice a non token blue
black or red or white or green. Yeah, rather than pay This spell's
manocost. So Flare of Denial is blue blue one. You could sacrifice a
blue non token to cast it for free counter target spell. So it's a
counter spell for free, another free counter spell. Frick good, that's what
we needed. And the green's good. The green one I believe is cultivate.
The red one is a copy and instant or sorcer. That one's freaking
good. That one's real good. I think that the black one probably kills
something, and all the gains your life right until end of turn. Your
life total can't change permanence, you control gain hexproof and indestructible. That's freaking
good too, that's flair of fortitude. I think I think they're all good
because what we needed is more TEF's Protection cards. That's what we need,
and more free counter spells and more free black removal and more storm Red and
more man The moral of the story is all those cards are good. You
should you should be happy when you open them. You should trade them in
at a premium because you're gonna want them probably when you start to tune your
decks. If you're new, you're gonna want them if you play ced H
and they're gonna be expensive. Correct. Did do you think we've hit on
everything there? Yes? Okay, there's a lot more blue cards I want
to talk about, but well let's move to black. There's tons of cards
that are worth talking about actually in this In this set, I noticed that
they took a lot of like a lot of the modern cards are at the
common and uncommon slot where they're just like a maybe not an improved version of
another card. Yeah, but like a slightly more powerful version of an existing
card with a hoop. For example, there's better lightning bolt if you control
a multicolored permanent. There's a better brainstorm if you control whatever whatever. Right,
if you want to pay man a Ford or whatever. Yeah, I
like that card. What's that brain surge. I'm gonna play that card.
I think some brain surge. Let's give that one a read. Brain surge
is an instant mind you for Bluetoo, draw four, then put two from
your hand on top in any order. Oh there is no alternate cost.
Yes, it just costs three instead of one. Yeah, that's the that's
the catch. Yes, I want to catch. Yeah, I'm gonna play
that card for sure. But it's not bad. And there's a few of
those kind of kicking around. And there's lots of like el we were talking
before the show, lots of el drasified cards that we already know about it.
There's a Siege Gang Commander that's an el Drawsi. There's a Basking root
Waller that's an Aldrazi. There's a maul Drifter right, yeah, Like there's
so many just kind of el drawsy Yeah, and you know what that they're
all worth talking about, but like everybody else is talking about them, so
if you mentioned that they're here, we just want to to the fun stuff
at the common and uncommon level. It feels like in the play boosters for
the people that want to open these up and draft them or do sealed with
them, which is fun and I like doing that. That's what those rarities
like common and uncommon, and I think regular rare in some cases feel like,
oh man, that's the limited card and there's an arc type and I
can tell that this is what it's going to be. But we're gonna focus
a little bit more on the pound your dinks into the dirts cards. You
know why they made the el Drawsis five colors in this set. I figured
it out. It's because you have to draft wastes. Oh, they're not
just gonna give you wastes as your basic lands. So if the old Drassis
were colorless, they'd be unplayable in draft. It's they had to make them
five colors. Yeah, I don't understand what you're saying. Let's talk about
crab omination. Jesus. It's a crab, it's a demon, and it
lets you cast your point shit for free. It emerges emerge from artifact,
So it's a six drop five to five. You can sacrifice an artifact and
reduce black black five is its emerged cost? You can reduce that by the
converted mano cost of the artifact you sacrificed. Is it converted or actual mano
cost? Like? Does it take away black pips too? From emerge cost?
Reduced by that artifact's mana value? Okay, man of value sucky.
So it's always going to cost black black at the very black black for a
five five if you sacrifice a five to five good or a five cost artifact.
Yes, yeah, it's fine. Probably see play Ye Modern. Anyways,
so when crab Domination enters the battlefield, target uponent exile is the top
card of their library. Sure, a card at random from their g yard
and a card at random from their hand. That's pretty good there. You
can cast cards from among the cards exiled this way without paying their man costs.
Of course, it's a free and it's a crab. Yes, you
get to crabs. You used to play crabs. I don't, but I
have Crab and the boys still like together. I just took the mana base
apart to build other decks because you know, there was fetched lands and dual
lends and my crab deck because it is the only way I can make it
work. It's pretty bad. Yeah, you got any black cards? I
honestly, I don't think. So there's well, yeah, I guess there's
that one. There is that one. There's the the new Fleshbag Marauder.
It's a cursed marauder. It's a two to one for two, so it
costs lesson is a little smaller than your average come into play. Everybody sacks
a dude. But the caveat on this, and that makes it so cool
is you can't sack a token creature to it, so you're always gonna get
something of substance, not just gonna sack a goblin token or a Sapar lane
or an old drowsy spawn or whatever. Right that you're gonna get something that
they invested resources into. Yes, and that's good. And again the limited
format because they would just sack a spawn or a sign or whatever, but
they can't with that, So that's good and important that it's still relevant creature
type zombie. Yes, very important. There I've got less relevant creature type
warrior. Yeah, if you've got a a what's the warrior axe that equips
for free if you cast a warrior. It's like from Cama Gower or something
that's from lawin Lown that is terrible. Yes, I play that card.
That's because it's terrible. Welcome to CCO Nation. There's lots of black cards
that are actually good for the raw dog deck. I'm making dope like budget
cheap raw dog no sleeve astocrats. Is that the plan? Yes? I
like this one kind of Yes. This is one of the Marionette Apprentice.
It's a one to two human artificer again relevant creature types for black one.
It's got fabricate so when an ETBs it comes with a servo or with a
plus one plus one counter cool. Sure. Also when another creature or artifact
you control each shit, each opponent loses a life dope, that's an aristocrat.
Baby like that is an aristocrat and it's got a really cool picture on
it. Yep, I like grim servant three to two menace for black three
sounds terrible. Oh yeah, zombie warlock again, creature type very important there.
Okay, so it's an outlaw I guess so, I guess it is.
It is from my outlaw zombie eat deck. When Grim Servant enters a
battlefield, search your library for a card with man of value less than or
equal to your devotion to black yeah, and then put it into your hand.
Then lose three life. So this is like grim Tutor, but for
your devotion, but you get a dude. So like if you can search,
sack, get them back, search again, like you could potentially that's
like the whole combo right there, they could be the whole combo. Fight
them both, play them. Yeah, this is this is this is a
cool combo card. And lots of little upgrades, right, like little things
like the Eviscerators insight that are additional costs, Sacrifice a creature artifact draw two
but now with flashback. Yeah, so like little upgrades where where over time
you're like, hey, I play those kinds of cards like the Costly plunders
and stuff, right and the Village Rights and Sacker creature draw card type cards.
Well, now this one's got flashback. We call that power Creep Ladies
and gentlemen. We could, We could, I think we should because it
exists. We could. Yeah, you know what this set feels very it's
forced rotation. Very cards are always going to be good. That's what this
is. They're rotating an eternal format. I like that. Sorry if that
offends anybody, but that's what this set is doing. Can we talk about
some art. Oh there's a card I got to talk art about, man,
I want to talk about it, Mindless Conscription, the Tower of Zombies.
I want to talk about Quest for the Necropolis, not a quest card
from like OG's indercard back in the day. Hey, pretty good. There's
retrofrited, transmogrant or transmigrant. Sure if you will, Warren soul Trader,
you probably like that. Like that, and that's from like Pete Ventters or
whatever, like old school magic artists, one of the ones they brought back.
Right, let's skip over Red because there's nothing we have to there's one
card that I want to talk about in Red that's like, it's so cool
because it's my new, very favorite art of all time on the magic card.
Oh and it's this one. Its Glimps, the impossible, Glimpse the
impossible. Talking about art on a audio podcast isn't always conducive, but just
hear me out. Justine Jones did it. I freaking love this art so
much. It's different than most any other thing in this set, which is
really cool. She's done some other arts, including lots of the rule book
cards from the Dungeons and Dragon sets. Yep, she had a few of
the poster arts from the Lord of the Ring. She did Mount Doom,
and she did the first Secret Layer I ever bought, the Kaleidoscope Killers with
the Slimmer Overlord and the her Dragon and the Ruper King. So and I
just I love the It perfectly encapsulates like a story moment and this kind of
holy entity just glimpsing the truth of the universe and literally melting her brain.
Yeah, that's so cool. That's Gizella, right, Yeah, it just
it perfectly encapsulates this moment in magic alternate timeline history. And this really well
is this one? Is this when the al Drazi came to in Astrade?
I think, so, okay, let's give it a read. Here.
Glimpse the Impossible is a sorcery for Red two exil the top three cards in
your library. You may play those cards this turn. It sounds kind of
like a chromos or Jessica's will so far, hey, sort of at the
beginning of your next end step. If any of those cards remain exiled,
put them into your graveyard. Then create a zero one colorless l drawsy spawn
creature token for each card. Put into your graveyard this way, so it's
not even a bad card. Yeah, that's like a draw three. But
get them into your graveyard if you don't cast them and make your manabac off.
It's a draw three or draw less than three or still three and make
three dudes. Yep, that essentially costs free. Yeah, so that's pretty
good man, And it gives you three blockers if you need them. It's
a good card. It's cool. I want to shout out red and I'm
not for being the best color. Hell yeah, I'm not sure which one
of these decks sitting in front of us. I think it's this one creative
Energy. This is the Energy deck. Yes, but when you buy the
set, like get singles from the set and all the kladish stuff, the
Energy deck now is good, actually exists, and not only does it exist,
I think that the deck is going to be good and it's gonna be
like, oh man, this Energy deck fucks. Like if you combine this
energy, you can't interact with it. Right. If you combine, well,
you can now there are ways to elimit energy counters. Okay, okay,
okay, but like you get this energy deck plus the one from Fallout,
plus a few of the singles from here in a couple from Caladash,
and you got yourself a real deck. Yeah, like a real deck that
people have been wanting for a long time. So it's cool that they gave
us that. Yes again, one of the one of the lower price of
the three Commander decks by the Bye four Commander decks. Oh yeah right,
I didn't count this one. I didn't count the one that we open because
it's it's really bad. And we're gonna talk about that next week. We're
gonna do the Commander decks next week. Ye more red cards, Power Balance,
Power Balance. Yes you like this one? I love power Okay,
give it a read. This is this is a throwback to Counterbalance, the
blue card, and this has like the same art. Even what's the interaction
with with with counterbalance called countertop? So what's it called now? Power Top?
Happy pride everybody? So what power Balance is is it's an enchantment for
red red. Whenever an opponent casts a spell, you can reveal the top
card of your library. If they're the same, Manecost, you can play
your card for free. So then you use Sensea's divining top to like adjust
your top card to see how many times you can just get shit for free.
This card is so cool and it's available for free in the bundle.
It's not for free, but if you buy a bundle, you're guarantee to
foil one because it's the it's the bundle promo. Yeah, okay, so
it's very cool. It has really need art and I'm so looking forward to
playing it in Nouran. Oh okay, well good, I'm happy. I'm
happy, you're happy. Yeah. I love being happy. It's my favorite
thing. Okay, should we move on to Green and just keep you rock
hard? There are some really good Green cards. We opened one of them
earlier in Fanatic of Ronas. I do like that one. It's a one
four for two that taps for a green or if you have something, power
forward greater times for green, Green Green Green yep. And then it has
eternalized for green green two, which means you can exile it from your bin
and you get a four to four snake druid zombie that has all those abilities.
I just said yes, yeah, you get you get it back in
token form. Yes, And we have what was going to be my very
most favorite card in the whole set. Is it Foul Strike No, which
we're gonna talk about because I still remember that conversation that we had when you
said they don't make magic art funny. Then that I don't as much as
they used to. That's more accurate, and then they then I'd showed you
fry or it was the two chicken legs that the body had been blown off
of it. Yes, this one is somebody literally hitting a chicken in the
face with a giant nutsat with a with a sack full of rocks. Oh
that's what that is. Yeah. Oh, like this is Uncle Brando and
Max Crandell. If you were to colorized, if you were to paint that
bird into a Canada goose, that's my dream. His eyeballs, eyeballs are
popping out of his head like it's so damn destroy Target Creature with flying It's
an instant for Green one and it's got reinforced so you can pay Green to
discard this card, put a plus one counter on Target Creature. Sure,
this card is fine. It's a limited trick or whatever. Right, it's
a limited sideboard card. But oh, man, is that that's a funny
picture. Let's talk about what could have been my favorite card? All right,
tell me it's this one right here. Evolution Witness has Witness in the
title, so you know what it does. Yeah, it's a two to
one for Green two. Okay, when it comes into play, it doesn't
do anything because everybody thought it was gonna come into plan do so it has
adapt. We're gonna gonna come. We're gonna come back to adapt in a
second. For Blue one, you put some counters on it. Green one.
Whenever a counter gets put on it, you return a permanent card from
your graveyard to your hand. Okay, now here's why this was gonna be
my favorite card because it was Evolution Witness. I thought it was gonna have
evolve instead of adapt. So never something bigger than it came into play,
you got a permanent from your graver back. Oh that would have been so
good, so much better. But instead, it's a fine card that I'm
gonna try and attract. So I'm gonna try it and attracts it and see
if I can get my preators back with it, and we'll see how that
goes. Have you seen this one, Hydra Trainer? Okay, you're gonna
play that in anima? R Okay, let's give this a read. This
is a one to one human warrior for Green one. When you exert hydra
trainer, I already know I'm not because I never attack in that deck.
When you exert it. That means you attack when it's tapped. It doesn't
untap during it next time. Yes, so when you exert it as it
attacks. When you do, target creature gets plus x plus oh until end
of turn. Where x is the number of counters on permanence you control and
it has adapt to, which is pay green two. If this creature has
no plus ones on it, you put two plus ones on it. Are
you gonna play this one in your animar Yes? Yes i am, because
I've very much attack in that den you play Hydra animal. Yeah, we
tier in it, which is hydras. Yes, yes they're shitty hydras,
yes, but yes I am, and I'm going to kill people with it.
This is good. Yes, I am going to turn people into dust.
What is is this one good? Or is the picture just something I
really like? Path of Annihilation? Oh, it sounds good yeah, sounds
like when we go drinking, Yeah, buddy, devoid for green three.
When Path of Annihilation enters the battlefield, get two zero one colorless el drasy
beer tokens and drink them and like that one el Drozi's you control have tap
drink a beer of any color also because there's more, of course there is.
Whenever you cast a creature spell with value seven or greater, gain four
beer. It's pretty good. Yes, so it's not a very good card,
but it does do everything that we want it to do. Yes,
yes, it's gonna be one of those cards like the Great Henge. I'm
not saying it's going to be good as the Great Henge, right, but
it's like, wait, this does that too? Yeah? Wait that to
hang on, I'll gain four life. Wait how do you gain four life?
Well, I let a creature what yeah? Yeah, but I don't
hate that. Yeah, it's fine. Let's say. Let's move on to
multicolored. A lot of a lot of Commanders, a lot of Day one
band card that I am gonna play and it's gonna Zeno morph head on it.
Cranial ram baby. Oh yeah, living weapon equipped creature gets plus x
plus one what Yeah, where x is the number of artifacts you control.
So this was banded in modern uh band in popper popper, Oh, because
it's common. All they had to do was put a freaking uncommon symbol on
it. And the card's fine. Yep, well as fine as cranial plating
is I guess yeah? Which is which? Which is fine? Yeah?
That card wrecked a couple formats, Yes, and it's really good. It's
cranial plating, but as living weapon, and you can't equip it at instant
speed, but it does essentially the same thing directly into my go deck.
I love Living Weapon. I like it too. Sure you gotta pay maybe
an extra mana on on the cast, but it's already equipped, so you
save the equipped cost. And sure you gotta pay maybe an extra mana to
equip it again, but you might not need to if you drop cranial ram
and like your guy has haste, because he's probably gonna be like ten ten
or ten ten to one ten two. Oh yeah. You know what I'm
excited for is to play living weapon cards in that bear because instead of getting
zero zero germs, you're getting two to two germs. Oh, so you
can unequip and have your not your guy. That's Kudo King among Bears.
We talked about him last week. Yes, yeah, kudos to him.
Shut up. Yeah, oh, there are any other multi colored psychic frog
just because frog psychic frogs are fun. Yeah, you know what? There
is a there's there's a removal spell that I'm going to play in a lenda
all the I know the one. Yeah, I'm just looking for it so
I can read the name. I even know what it does. It's black
white to remove a non land permanent from the game, and for as long
as it remains exiled, you can pay any color of manna to play it.
It must be in the precons Nope, it's right here. Nope it's
not. It must be in the pre const But everything that I just said
is true. Yeah, good card. That is a good card. Now
artifacts, there are some there are some cards that people are gonna get real
salty about and they need to shut up about it. And we're gonna start
with Winter Moon. Winter Moon two drop artifact. Players can't untap more than
one non basic land that's right during each of their untaps. Perfectly fair Winter
Orb. I think. So the greedier you are, the more it's gonna
hurt you, yes, and you, and it doesn't allow you to shut
it off by tapping it, which is bullshit. Which is the way that
people abuse Winter Orb. Yeah, artifact decks and like Erza dex right,
Yes, I am one of those people that abuses the Winter Orbit and this
Winter Moon is gonna go right into that same deck. Oh, you truly
are a piece of shit. I think it's perfectly fair if you're gonna play
perfect mana to make it so you can play five colors and you can just
drop whatever you want whenever you want. Fuck you, I'm gonna play stuff
to stop you from doing that. Yeah, that's how the game works.
That is how the game works. Vexing Bobble, is this card? This
card's good? Okay? This is a wondrop artifact. Whenever a player cast
the spell, if no man it, it was oh man alive. If
no man was spent to cast it, counter it. Yep. We've seen
this before on Lavinia of the Tenth. Yep. We've seen this before on
Void Mirror. Yep. That card totally wrecked format. So I expect this
one to do the same. Because it also says one tap sack draw card.
So if I top deck my Void Mirror late game, I can cast
this in for a card. Yes, okay, and that's I think they're
gonna We're gonna see a few more cards with effects like this because there's so
much cascade and we ever new cas it is right, I just got pounded
and it just right, Like there's so much value, or like you copy
the spell of twenty five times and you can play them without paying their mano
costs. Yep. This Sometimes you just need ways of dealing with that index
that aren't blue, and cards like that are how you do it. Yep.
That's let's say it is. We've got a couple of minutes left.
I want to say this. Of the non basic lands that are in this
set, the the Arena of Glory and Arch of Innovation and stuff that that
rare cycle that says like get too red or the next blue spell you casts
have improvised. Yeah, all of those are good. I concur you should
play those. Yes, all of the fetch lands last time I checked,
still good since two thousand and three when they were printed in Onslaught, still
good, still good. Listen to Commander History. We'll talk about that someday.
Mean Mac there's actually a couple of non basics in this set that are
good, and the three color cycling commons, these are fricking good. Okay,
So land eTV's untapped. I'm gonna read I'm gonna read Bountiful Landscape because
it's the team or one I like team, and there's ten of them and
they all do the same thing. Yeap comes into play taps for a winding
colorless manna. You can tap sacrifice them to search your library for a basic,
in this case forest island or mountain. Put it onto the battle tapped.
That's fine. This card is common so far. It's a better panorama.
No, it's a better pteromorphic expanse are evolving wilds in Yes, in
new color three color decks, yes, right, which most decks probably are
three colors, let's be honest. Sure. Also, it's cycles. This
car does basically everything. It fetches, it color fixes, It gives you
man a turn one. If you got like a soul, would you ship
a hand that had like pteromorphic expanse sol ring and no other manna? Would
you keep that? Probably? Not? Now you can, yes, I
would keep that, Yes, yes, because you can go Bountiful Landscape sol
ring and then next turn Frickin' sacket, get an island, and now you're
online. Yes, yeah, super good. So all of those are good.
And I want I've got one last thing that I want to talk to
you about. Okay, let's take a look. Is it the Basics and
how bad they suck? No, because usually we do talk about the and
I'm gonna say of this, I can't even find them. These Basics are
their ship. I think their garbage. You remember the Brothers of War.
They had the big robots with the meshrore robots and the robots and they were
kind of right, those were cool. This is a theme set though,
right, this is basically them with Eldrasi's on the lands, and I just
I don't think they're that nice, honestly, I don't. If they're your
thing A thing, yeah, I do like these, but they're not for
me. I like the planes especially. It kind of looks atypical in terms
of magic, like digital realism art. Sure the planes, the full art
planes with the Eldrawsi tentacle guy on it, number three oh four, I
like that one. Sure, Joe'll have it on the screen. Probably.
Let's talk about these full art borderless cards. You like these? Sure?
Do you like these? Do you think they're curl? How's your curling doing?
Oh, let's looks it's been relatively humid here for spring because it's rained
a ton and no, not too bad. They're not they're not taco shelling
either way. Oh look at that. They're full art, super duper foil.
Holy shit. Yeah, those are cool. Those are neat. So
we've got things like okay, Echoes of Eternity and all these have like alternate
art with the pop frame where the art goes over some portion of the name
line or like the typeline or the text box. I know everybody likes these
borderless cards. Our body aiden doesn't really like them that much. I love
them, I really do. I really enjoy them. I appreciate them.
I'm glad that they're doing more of them, and I'm glad that in some
cases the actual art is cooler than the extended art, because it, I
don't know, makes those people feel better. Yeah, the the graphic design
of them irks me a little bit because like the text layer is above some
of the art, but the art is above the name line layer. Yeah,
and sometimes like you get all art swooshing fire around, but you can
still see the set symbol or like it'll show white and yellow art with white
nameline text. It's like, oh, why are you doing? Oh you're
thinking of this one right here, and and flare of duplication with the set
symbol and the name. But the ones that are good are very good,
like Warren Soul Trader. I like that one. I like the Wheel of
Possibility art. I like that one. Yet. Yeah, but there's some
cool looking cards in this set. Do these ones? Do these ones?
These borderless cards do? They tend to have quite a bit of a higher
price tag, Like if you open one of these in e colector pack,
could you trade it in and get like the regular version plus a bunch of
other stuff? Not a bunch, but probably some stuff. There's a there's
a slight premium on some of them. You're gonna notice big jumps in the
when you hit a chase card, the free counter spell, for example,
the full art of that is going to get you an actual premium, and
I think maybe the cat. But when you look at things like Psychic Frog
or some of the lands, you're probably not gonna see as big a jump.
For example, the fetch Lands. The fetch Lands are a really good
example right now as of recording today. I looked at them this morning and
it's about a two to three dollars premium from regular foil to extended art foil
on fusion. Oh okay, okay, So on some of them you're gonna
be able to get. And that's that's useful because the product is expensive,
and if you want to make your money and your collection, go as far
as you can. Of course CCO say promo code on fusion. But then
if you want to trade stuff amongst your friends it's a trading card game after
all, or trade stuff into stores, maybe you can get some some premium
on these these full arts. How about them medallions, Hey, the black
one, the white one, the actually all of them, all of them
are dope. Oh man, the medallion cycles. The medallions cycle modern staple
cards. So glad they reprinted those. Well they can be in modern Now
that's a that's a thing that might actually be a thing. I don't know
if people use that, but like the red and blue ones and like modern
storm deck, that's a thing they might be. That's gotta be a thing.
Like the black one is an eyeball, like a like a jet black
stone that's smoking. Look that. Yeah, Like man that is gnarly pulled
the eyeball right out of his head. That's like an elbows cost left less
dude. That is an album cover. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I
hope I opened one of those. Yeah, those that'll look good and foil.
Hey. Oh yeah, all of those are gonna look cool and foil.
Yeah. And then of course we have the return of the profile arts
that I'm a big fan of. Ye, I'm trying to collect all of
those. And then the Prator concept art. Yeah, and the Prator concept
arts are right now it's concept art, and the Three Titans again are available
in uh there's two hundred and fifty each of them. I believe in serialized,
so they're gonna go big money. So if you happen to see when
it's your lgs, nap a picture and tag us and because we love to
take a look at it, Yeah, we get mega engagement on those on
Twitter, like thousands and thousands and tens of thousands. When the number one
of seven hundred Dwarven soul ring was found, I posted it and I was
like, yeah, offers it like fifteen thousand already. Blah blah blah,
and I just got pounded with like one hundred thousand engagements on that tweet.
I'm like, people are trolling me. People are like, yeah, Ryan
likes it, mortgage your house. People are like, oh, Magic's bullshit.
Cards aren't investments? Like just trolls assholes? Yeah? Man, yeah,
so take us in those because I like those. I love seeing that
kind of stuff. But again, it's something that made somebody else happy,
and I love seeing people who are happy there it is. That's my favorite
thing to see. Is that your final thought of the day? I think
it might be. No, my final thought of the day is this Ryan.
I think that initially my initial reaction to this set was I wasn't a
huge fan because it was a modern set that's clearly a Commander seting because it
is, and I think I've kind of gotten over that a little bit.
That's fine. I think I have where I think that the set is cool.
I wish it wasn't a premium set, but it is. But I'm
glad that it's not Master's premium. Right, You're not paying one hundred bucks
for a booster pack, You're not paying four hundred and fifty dollars for a
booster box with four packs in it. Yeah, that's so. That's good.
You're going to probably get your value out of the set if you're not
looking for specific singles. And I think that the singles that they are going
to give lots of people are going to allow modern players to have better decks,
and more specifically for our purposes, it's going to allow more people specifically
people who want to play fetch lands and stuff are going to be able to
get people into making their decks better. And that's what these products are for.
And this one does that, and that's that's really cool. And it
gives the fucking al drawsy weeds a bunch of stuff to beat it over.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So, I mean, if you're into that kind
of thing, that's the kind of thing you're into. Question for you hold
on a second, Okay, look at us do an MTG finance all show?
Hey, second thing obtrusive appropriation. That's that black White's removal spell.
Here there we go, I found it. Do you think do you think
that when they did Commander Masters last year they did the old Drawsi deck and
the Sliver deck, do you think that they had ready to go for the
product, a five color sliver deck that they would have printed if that set,
that pre con had been the one to blow up in the way that
the El Drasi did the El Drazi deck from last year. Yes, Do
you think that slivers could have been present in this set if the Eldrasi hadn't
have overshadowed them in popularity in sales? H No, I think that it
was already known here. And I think that they're going back to the El
Drawsi tank because they know how popular that creature type, that archetype, that
that genre strategy, the visuals like, they know that that's what commanders about
for a lot of people, and the story. They're probably going back there
too. Yeah, And you have to remember how far in advance these are
planned out. Sure, you can rush things a little bit, but I
don't think you rush a product released like this in less than a year like
they have. Like these cards have probably existed in print form and have been
getting packaged for months and months and months now, and distribution takes a month,
and so that's like another and then like yeah, no, I think
they're just going back to the ELDRASI. Well, several times in a row,
because obviously it's lucrative and exciting is what I meant, much excitement for
wizards on that line. So final thought of the day. If you've got
some excitement and you want to have less of it, but save some of
it, Yeah, Fusion Gaming Online dot Com CEO save promo code is gonna
get your discount CEO perks promo code. If you want store credit kickback ten
percent. That's lots again on this, that's like fifty five dollars Canadian.
Yeah. And if you live in the Land of the Free, you can
get brand Or to open it for you. Send it to him. He'll
open it on BBO which you can watch on Friday. Yeah, and he'll
organize the cards and send them to you. It takes a little bit of
the excitement out of opening it for you. But you get a discount on
magic cards. And you're not breaking the law by shipping them over the border.
Yeah I am, but I'm not breaking the law right, correct,
correct, because they're opened. You can't ship sealed product across the border.
Weirdest thing, it's a gambling law that prevents that. That is so weird,
isn't it. I don't know. Isn't that just so strange how that
works. I don't I don't know what gambling or get out podcast. That's
what editor Joe's saying, get out. So we've hit the thing. We've
thanked the business daddies, we've thanked all the people out, and we're gonna
drink these pilot podcast and we're gonna drink these pilot bones because we need it
after all this excitement. Thanks to producer Gary, thanks to you for listening,
and we're gonna be back to talk about these very commander decks on the
next episode of Commander Cookout Podcast. In our theme st
