of us that are watching on YouTube but it should be, will notice that
we're a different angle, much like we were last week on the pre show
slash Real Show. And that is because the CCO Control Room has been officially
upgraded to be the Space Age Oh much like the Woodru now Space Age Studio.
Yep, so good. We've got new mic stands, we've got new
speakers, we've got new control board, new very big screen. Yeah,
and it it puts the camera in a little bit of a different angle,
but it it makes our setup pretty good because you don't see like the microphone
arms and you don't see my computer and I can reach like right here,
real easy, right. So we're here, We're here, We're there.
Everything is great and we have a cool deck to talk about. We have
some stories to tell some people to thank. Before we get to any of
that, we have to thank our official business Daddy's Fusion Gaming Online dot Com,
their source for all your gaming needs, and also Pile of Bones Brewing

talked a little bit about booster packs, but we're gonna play that by ear.
There's usually no shortage of beer in the fridge and packs to be cracked
on the table. We are responsible in both of those regards. What well
we crack packs when cracks need to be packed, and we crack beers and
put them into our cracks when they need to be emptied those how we do
responsible? Yes? Right, makes sense. Speaking of responsible, you mentioned
Fusion Gaming Online Camp. I sure did so. I did the thing.
I went to Fusion YEP. I picked out some Pokemon booster packs for my
son to give to his friend for a birthday present. Yeah, you can
do this. You can do this there in addition to buying magic cards,
sealed singled binders, books, dices, deck box, play mats, those
giant six foot Lord of the Rings play mats, whatever it is you buy.
Do you mean to say to me you wention game one dot com.
Yes, you added Pokemon cards. Yes, here shopping. I was gonna
buy them anyways, and you click check out it did and you put Ceco
Summer in the promo coodline did and you save five percent? Did what I
did? What? What? Oh? That's just good business, responsible fatherhood,
right, that's just being smart, Yes man, responsible fatherhood cookout podcast.
Did you hear about those guys in the city here that got arrested with
like thousands of dollars worth of Pokemon and hockey cards and math. You're gonna
say magic? No, I was waiting for them to say magic too,
and then when they started saying am I was like, oh baby, police
auction, here it comes. And then no, no, no, no,
you can't buy that third one at the police auction. They were they
were they were drug dealers. Who And then they said the perpetrators were in
their early teens and their forties. Of course they were. No, of
course they all had neck beards and butt cracks. Na, guys, imbecile,
So you're not an imbecile. If you go to Fusion Gaming, though,
use the discount code. You're going to spend the money anyways, you
might as well spend less. Yeah, you have limited money, keep some
of it. Yeah, other thing certainly have limited money. Yeah, speaking
of money, money, If you want to help support the show, a
couple ways to do it, yeah, yeah, couple ways to do it.
You can go to Patreon, dot com, slash CCO podcast support the
show directly. That helps us keep the lights on and keep the show available
for everybody, and support goes a long way to helping with the CEO experience
in Chicago, helping with the website hosting because that tripled a couple months ago.
That kind of stuff, right, So great way to support Commander Cucoat
dot com store. There's a deal of the week. We're like three weeks
in advance, so I don't know what the deal. We're very much in
the future slash past. But I did order new stickers, so maybe those.
I feel like an X Man because I'm in the future in the past.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Given on March twentieth, X Men
ninety seven coming out, that's going to be so cool. Even you like
that. Yeah, that was a good job, even Ryan. That was
a good show. I remember that show. Have you heard Wolverine's voice.
No, it's the same voice actor, but he's like one hundred twenty thirty
years older. Yeah, so he doesn't he doesn't have the same bubb sounding
now yeah, hey cyclops Assholey. Right, it's pretty good. So I'm
looking forward to that immensely. And I learned that the lady that voices Rogan
that show is a Canadian member of Parliament from Nova Scotia. Oh, that's
just kind of a neat fact. That's a thing that I learned. Its
fun fact, and it's on the internet, so it must be correct.
Yeah, that's a weird thing for them to lie about, you know what
I mean. That's a weird thing to have, like you're also on the
internet. That's true. There are weird things that people lie about on the
Internet, but I assume that's not one of them. Yes, speaking of
things that people lie about on the internet. Oh, we say if you
play, you will win. Oh oh the booster pack guessing game. Yes,
and we lied because everybody played. Nobody won, nobody want one,
nobody won. I do have a winner from a previous pre show to give
a pack or a sticker pack or a token pack. Maybe somebody will want
a sticker pack because they got new stickers in there. Super Exclusive. If
you're missing out by Murder Gone Forever, go to Comantic Coco dot Com.
Okay, so I've got a winner for guessing Sophia Dogged Detective. You've got
no winner because nobody guessed your commander for Slime against Humanity. So I'm gonna
do mine first and then we'll talk about yours. Ok Okay, I got
you. Uh Craig Fernandez four four three three, I'll bet you that's his
real name in the four four three three, Yes, mister four four three
three, mister poop poop peepee, mister poo poo pepe Cocker Commander cook go
on at gmail dot com. If you want to claim your prize CEIO Sticker
Pack, CEO Token Pack stink, You'll pack a. You can pick whatever
you want, though, if you want to be the guy that picks the
magic cards, I'm totally fine. I do have them. They are in
the onion bag and then they are stinky h if you want to. I
don't know why anybody wants that. Well, some people like to crack packs,
you know, Yeah I am. I am one of them. And
boy howdy, never have I met somebody who says this, man, I
hate packs and then cracks more packs than anybody else. I know, it's
me. It's me, Uncle Brando. You can check out the BBO on
CCO. That's the Brando's Box opening on the Commander Cookout YTC YouTube channel.
There you Okay, So we've got these commanders up in front of us for
slime against humanity and that's not who we're talking about today, but we want
to just keep people apprized of the the Brando's build culture. That's the BBC,
not to be confused with the Bridge Broadcast Channel. We're gonna totally get
sued. I was thinking frick, man, it can't be Chulaane. Man,
why would it be Chu Lane. It's a sorcery based the deck.
You can't even play creatures in it. I know, but I thought,
like you could just be just doing Chew Lane for like the freakin' just to
be a dick. Then I thought, man, is it Galadra Light of
Eleanor because she she triggers on like creature fall, right, and like you're
playing sorceries that make creatures. That would be very good. Oh I could
pay I could pay three for one, get three for it, and pay
it again. Yeah, you double your slimes, right, and the next
one they all get bigger. And you're dealing in a deck that deals with
plus one plus one counters already and her last ability scribe to you. Then
draw card is just freaking good. Like that's just a freaking good ass card.
And then I thought, man, it's not gonna be that because he
thinks maybe I want to build that I not. I didn't think that.
Nope, No, I also don't have access to that card. That's a
hard card to find. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah ah man.
I went down and I just kept looking for more commanders, and I just
couldn't decide who I thought it was with enough kind of surety to put my
stamp on it. That's my favorite thing to do in Commander. I always
say it. Whenever we read a new card. I say, oh,
there's I see a line. It's a specific line. I read it,
and then say, I don't care what else it's the card? Does uh
brash hunter, fight, indestructible, middle finger deal damage? All those things
are brash Hunter, yes, correct, but no. What is my favorite
thing to do on a magic Card's your Oh? Look at the top card
of your library anytime? That's right. Oh? Is it that one?
Falco Spara. Oh, there's two weaver. There's two that Look at the
job card of your library. Look at I thought it was this one.
No, it's not that one. It's not that one. It's Falco Spara.
Packed weaver is a three to three for four bant and one flying trample.
Yes, Falco spar enters with a shield counter on it. That means
if it would die, you take the shield counter off instead. Look at
the top card of my library at anytime? Yes, I make cast cards
from the top of my library by removing a counter from a permanent I control.
Oh man, please tell me that you also play squirrel Sto and like
brain Freeze and all the storm cards that let you fricking just rip through your
whole deck by removing counters and then you storm like for fifty. Please tell
me that's what you do. No, oh, Brando, No, I
already I already have an ooze based storm deck and it's avy. Make this
one and be it better. I don't need another one. Avy's really good.
Yeah, but this one gooder. You think I just turned into Kramer
for a minute. Well, we'll see how I feel about that later.
Because I'm building it to be fun and it has thirty five of the same
card in it, I don't have a lot of room for storm enabled extracurricular
activities. Yeah, I just want to make ooze. Yes, specialized early
in life, and that's all, you know, Like gymnastics in China,
yes, yes, yes, diving yes, Or that Russian guy in Rocky
four. Oh yeah, that was a robot. I'm pretty sure. Oh
yeah, the implication was that he was a robot, right, I don't
know Ivan Drogo was a robot. I'm pretty sure. No. I think
he was just like a genetic super freak. They just like made him in
a tube, so he was like a clone. Sure we'll go with that
Crockies now sci fi movie. Yeah, yeah, you've seen how hard he
gets hit. It doesn't even fall down. Yes, that's science fiction.
If I've ever seen it, I know all about concussions. Now I have
one while I'm talking to you. Yeah, that's it. Okay, So
I'm just going through the show notes. Here we go. That's not who
we're talking about today. But no, no, no, I got one
more thing here, actually two more things. A final way to support Commander
Cookout coffee dot com slash Commander Cookout. If you want to buy anybody a
beer at the Ceco Experienced Chicago that happened last week, please feel free.
Also hop on over let me let me just hitch you with this as well.
If you're not in a position to like financially support the show, Yeah,
that's totally cool. We really appreciate you still being here because we wouldn't
be here if you weren't here. You can you can like and subscribe to
the show wherever you're listening to it, and that actually helps us out a
whole lot. Yes, like you don't have to if you don't want to,
but we free. But it's a free way to help out the show,
and it lets our sponsors and people that we're talking to know that we're
doing a good job. Yes, and people appreciate us. I tell people
this all the time. Business daddies care about subscriber numbers on YouTube. That's
so, that is what it is. The other thing I tell people is
the people in our community and the people who listen and like the show are
our number one advocates and our best advertisers and our best advisors. Most of
the time best advisors also stick with it, and our best advocates. There's
the word advocates. So when you say, oh, listener see show National
LIGHTE Hey, I listen to these guys. They do this show and it's
really fun. That means somebody else is going to listen to it. And
that's all we're asking, and that's all free. Just go to your lgs
and say, hey, listen to Commander Cook Code it's really good. Best
advisors. Tyler Matuleystone National Light good friend of the show, yeh, friend
of mine. Yes, totally advised me that the Chiefs should be my favorite
NFL team and then on the Super and then look at you, go yeah,
look at me. I'm a fan of the team that won the Super
Bowl. I don't know, I've never felt this before. Oh, this
is this is cool. Yeah, I watched the game and everything. I
haven't felt that since twenty seventeen. I know that was weeks ago now,
but it's very current for us now in the past. Yeah, yes,
us now in the past. Who are we talking about today, Ryan,
We are talking about Judith connoisseur, Carnage connoisseur. Can't even get the name
right. Frick was just looking right into her eyes. Judith Carnage connoisseur three
four for ractose in three. So she's a three four for five. Yeah,
her ability is better be amazing to not beyond rate power and toughness.
Wise, we better be looking for something pretty good here. Okay. So,
whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, would I ever do that?
Choose one? Okay, because you get added effect onto your spell.
Now, Oh so this could be good. One of the choices that spell
gains death, touch and lifelink Ooh, that's pretty good. It's pretty good.
Yeah. So if I lightning bolt, you turn into a lightning healing.
If you gut punch somebody, it eats shit. Yes. Sure.
Also death touch create a two to two red imp creature token with When this
creature dies, it deals two damage huh to each opponent dope to each opponent.
So I think what we're going to be seeing is a spell slinger type
deck that is going to look to make any removal spell in its or any
burn spell in its deck, like a guaranteed removal spell because it gainst death
touch. Right, it's we're going to be looking at an a ractose deck
that actually gains life. Now, in black, you can leverage your life
gain by just cramming in as much card draw as you want, because yes,
because we're gonna have life, we're gonna be able to draw a ton
of cards in black because that's what a cares a ble, right, Yeah,
And I'm gonna say this, I think despite all the chaos straw and
just like how much red pseudo card draw we've gotten, come on, it
doesn't compare to black card draw because it's putting us, putting them right into
our hand all the time at the cost of life. That's fine. Yeah,
Is there a card. I was thinking about this walking around. I'm
walking walking ursula, Yeah, and I'm thinking about this card. Is there
a card in magic the Gathering currently that says if you would pick a mode
on a card, pick all modes, there is, there isn't. And
that's that's a that's a commander that I'm making a prediction that we will get
one day, and it'll be John. It might be John, it might
be five color, and it might be like the Charms commander, like it
can't it can't have white in it. It can't have white in it.
Why not farewell? Farewell? What does farewell do? Merciless eviction removes all
permanence of a certain type from the game. They would never oh yeah can
oh yeah, because Farewell and merciless eviction. Okay, so be a four
color commander yeah, after and I'd imagine they probably take out Bluetoo just because,
like, ah, no, I think that it would be five color
because there's Charms in five color. And then people will be talking about,
oh yeah, if you just farewell, it does the thing. Yeah,
you know, I know, you know, I know, I just figured
maybe they jump over that landmine and make the deck not just immediately, like
all the removal is like, oh my god, this is yeah. Yeah,
because it's hard to work around you know what, that commander. You
could literally just take Ramos Dragon Engine out and put that commander in because everybody
plays lots of people play Ramos charms because all charms are multiple multiple colors.
Yeah, most charms are multiple colors. Did I internet right there? I
don't. I don't know. I don't know how to do it. I
don't know. Hey, I got one more thing. Okay, if you
want to hear about charms and Magic's history, Me and Mack recorded our first
episode of Commander History the other day. It's not out yet. I don't
know when it's going to be out, but watch for it on the Commander
Cookout. So so I'm just throwing that out there. Okay, Okay,
I don't know, and that's all I have. That's all I have about
that. No Brando, Hey, no Brando there, No, that's too
bad. But you can come for the next one. That's too bad,
or you and Mac can just do it then I don't have to idea.
That's a good idea. Yeah, Okay, where are we gonna start with?
Judith? Oh, the same way we always start. We're gonna start
at the ramp and the toot Okay, is there drawl? So just ramp
in tute sure, okay, And then there's a bunch of card advantage we
can get in another yea. Yeah. The ramp is talisman of indulgence,
storm, storm killing artists, soul ring, rousing, refrain, revel and
riches, Jessica's will dock side, extortionist, arcane signet. Which ones of
those do you think deserve a little bit more? Storm killing artists? Okay?
Uh, whenever you cast a no kids plus one plus oho for each
artifact you control that it doesn't matter. Whenever you cast or copy an instant
or sorcery create a treasure. Nice. So remember we're casting lots of stuff.
Do you think that we're going to see some storm? Do you think
we could with this deck? Hypothetically you could, yes, yes, but
well I know that we don't. Okay, I know that we don't,
but we could we could, and maybe we'll mention that strengths, weaknesses,
budget section that kind of stuff. Yeah, I mean I think that storm
in Red and Black isn't expensive. I don't think so. It's actually quite
cheap. Yeah, it does turn the deck into like, what are you
planning rack those Storm? Okay, I know every card in your list now,
because that is a list that exists, and it doesn't it's going to
be rituals and card draw and just rip through your deck type stuff. It
doesn't lend itself well to a creative deck building. It doesn't mean that the
deck is bad, yep or on fun. It's just that's a deck that
is the deck that it is because there's only so many cards that do what
you need to do to do that. Yes, when your goal is to
kill three people with forty life with something that does one damage or two damage,
you have to build your deck very specifically. Yes, I'm hoping that
in this deck that isn't a Storm deck, I'm hoping that we can identify
something that's gonna turn me onto ractose because I'm intrigued by Judith and I'm intrigued
by No. I'm intrigued by Judith too. I'm intrigued by Storm. But
I've done that before, and I've done the combo thing, and nothing else
in Red black speaks to me. So I'm hoping that's something. I love
Red and I love Black but I don't like ractos me. I'm right there,
except for I'm not a big fan of black it turns out. Yeah,
well who knew? Okay, rousing refrain, that's the next rap.
Probably gotta talk talk about rousing refrain. Rousing refrain gets it, gives you
red for each card and target opponent's hand. Oh, that's good. Then
you exile it with I think three time counters. Yes, then it suspends
three and it happens again. So what happens every three turns? That happens?
Oh, or you could suspend it for three the suspend it for three
turns for two the first time. Yes, I think that's the play,
right, because then then you don't have to spend five on it and maybe
only get like three four. Manay, that's I think that rousing refrain actually
epitomizes one of the falls of the deck that we're going to talk about in
Strength and Weaknesses, where your commander costs fucking five and all your spells cost
two. Yeah, well, and look at revel and riches too, Like
can we call that a ramp spell? Because whenever something dies you get a
treasure. You have ten treasures at your end step you win the game right
or at drop keep it costs five, and sure, we're gonna kill everything
that we touch because all of our instances and sorceries have detouch. But when
is this going to start providing us? Mana turn six, turn seven,
it could provide you win the game. That's pretty good, which is a
good thing for a card to provide. But that's not a ramp card.
That's a I win the game. Yeah, okay, well that's the ramp.
We've got five tootskis. We've got vamp Tutor, crack the vault,
which is actually grim Tutor. Search for something, pay three life. We've
got diabolic content, sack a creature, search for anything. We've got Demonic
Tutor. Just search for anything and beseech the Mirror. One of the best
cards from twenty twenty three. It's a really good car. It got bargain
so you can sacrifice a creature or artifact or enchantment when you cast this or
a token. You can sacrifice frick in anything. You sacrifice anything, and
so find a thing and play it. If it costs three or less,
four or less, search your library for a card, exile it face down,
then shuffle. If that's sorry, I got a frog in my throat.
If this spell was bargained, you may cast the exiled card without paying
its manacost. If that spell's man of value was four or less, put
the exiled card into your hand. If it wasn't cast this way so pretty
good. Yeah, you put it into your hand if you bargained, if
you if you didn't bargain. If you did bargain, you just pay four
to play something for four or less out of your deck. Man, that's
good. That's a good ass card. That is just literally any card I
need that's four or less in my deck right when I draw that. You
know what I'd like to see. I would like to see somebody go black
black black one that's besiech the mirror's manoclass. Yes, and then find temporal
extortion because it's black black black black, and then play it instead. I
mean, and then somebody just loses half their life. You don't get an
extra turn or because you're just doing it for the memes. Yes, this
is gonna get you nowhere. There's a yeah, take an extra turn and
you go draw lan specifically, you know, specifically, you got like swamp
swamp swamp Mountain for like five turns. Man, I just need one more
black. Okay, I gotta beseech the mirror to fricking serch for my temporal
extortion or your fire rex, you know, obliterator. There we go.
Yeah, okay, we're gonna flip over the cards. We're gonna look at
the rest of the deck. Uncle Brando's gonna get a couple of bites a
ritos out there. Oh yeah, baby, I did forget they existed.
Yes, okay, we'll be back in a second. All right, we
talked Toots, we talked ramp. Let's talk card advantage, which is drawing
or opportunities to procure and more cards from your deck. And there's some there's
some gooders in here. And we are gonna start with the Wheel of Misfortune.
Oh man, okay. Each player chooses a number zero or greater.
That's funny. Zero is not a number, is it? I don't know.
Mathematicians will let me know. It's it's a number when you learn your
numbers. Zero, I suppose, but zero is nothing. Anyways, You
choose zero or greater, then all players reveal the number. The highest number
fricking takes damage, the lowest number does nothing, and the ones in the
middle to discard their whole hand and draw that many cards. Right, No,
frick this this card is so difficult to explain to I'm gonna say to
some people, but like some people, just you don't. Here's what happens.
Okay, y'all pick a number. Yes, y'all show each other numbers.
Whoever got the lowest number, Yes, nothing happens to them at all?
Okay, good. Whoever picks the highest number, yes, takes that
much damage. Then whoever didn't have the lowest number discards their hands and dress
seven. Does the highest number? Do that too? Correct? Oh?
Yep, So I could just choose like twenty, and that'll virtually guarantee that
I drew seven. Yes, and take twenty. I'm okay with that.
Yes, But if two people pick zero, both of them get nothing.
Ohh So like if three people pick zero when you pick one, everybody's an
idiot except for you. Yes, yeah, and I pick one because I
thought i'd like get the lowest. Yeah, like you didn't really want to
discard. You didn't really want to do it, but then you did it.
Yes, with the misfortunes A cool card. I like it lots unexpected
windfall Okay, we got unexpected windfall, pirates, pillage sees the spoils in
Big Score are the same card? Yes, additional cost discard a card,
draw to make two treasure Yes. Yes. The one ring. Oh man,
I need more one rings. I think I'm gonna say I need more
one rings. Every time one ring comes up on the show. There's one
for sale in the Facebook group, the local one. Oh yeah, if
you want. I think it's foil and everything. Whose house is that I'm
going there and beating them up? Is it? Nick? I think he's
the guy, the guy that works at the store. Oh yeah, I
think yeah, I think it's okay. One ring, four drop artifact indestructible
if it enters the battlefield. If you cast it, you get protection from
fricking everything. Dang, it's already good. Yeah, that's already a good
card. Okay. Also, at the beginning of your keep, lose one
life for each burden counter on one ring and tap put a burden counter on
it. Draw cards equal to the burden counters on it. It's a good
card. Yeah, do we use it fairly? We'll have to keep an
eye on we. I think we do in this deck. Okay, speaking
of Lord of the Rings cards. I have to tell a really quick story.
Oh yeah, yeah, I do want to speak about them. Very
grateful to our our dear business Daddy's Fusion Gaming online dot com because you know
what came into my wish list and then I bought for five percent off what
was just yesterday the last foil nasgul I needed. Oh man, I need
nazgools. Oh well, I have a non foil one for you if you'd
like it. Is it from the regular set? Yep? Is it number
one hundred? Is it any one that isn't number uh three thirty eight because
that's the only frickin one I have? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
we will talk. We will leg wrestle after the show, okay,
uh seize the spoilers and the story talk. Yeah, we talked about that
one prosper tomba okay, death Dutch. At the beginning of your end step
exile the top Cardier Library until the end of your next turn, you can
play it. That's like, just draw an extra card and whenever you play
us a card from Exile create a treasure. It's pretty good. That card's
good. Yeah, that cards very good. Yea gix yog moth prayer.
Oh yeah, three three for three. Whenever a creature deals combat damage to
one of your opponents, its controller may pay one life. If they do
they draw card neat. So we're gonna. We're gonna whenever a creature deals
combat damage to one of our opponents, so all of my opponents can do
that. It encourages our opponents to attack each other. Hey, that's a
good idea. Yeah, and get your chipens. Kids. It's like wimpy
goating. It's like goating when you have no no conviction. Oh yeah,
but hold on, there's more. Gigs isn't done yet. He's like,
hold on, bitches iron done black black black four discard X cards. I'm
listening. Yes, exile the top X cards of your opponent's library. You
may play land cards and spells from among them without paying their manacost damn.
Yeah, he's good. He's good. When I have like all the cards
in my hand and I exile all your library, you know what I want
to see. I want to see black black black four discard X cards exes
your whole hand and then he goes stifle void slne oh, I play defabricate
in one of my decks. And it's it. One of its modes is
counter target, activator or triggered ability. Yeah, so gigs players watch out
in Chicago Airvos, God of the devotion to Thing. Whatever your opponent's can't
gain life, we can pay two pay to draw card. I wonder why
this isn't a showcase card. I'm gonna call him out because I know if
this is the physical deck our man plays. Oh we didn't say, is
freaking say? This is Chris Bones Jones. I added the Jones because I
think it sounds cool'd one, But Chris Bones is his name in the d
chord Discord. Well, he's a patron supporter. We do thank him very
much. Chris, what are you doing? Yeah? Do shit together?
Deadly disputes the next card. Additional cost sack of thing, draw two cards,
create a treasure Braid's Arisen nightmare. At the beginning of your endstep,
you may sacrifice artifact, creature in Chapman or Land, or plane walker.
If you do, each opponent may sacrifice one of the same things. If
they don't, you draw card unless they pay two life each. No,
no, no, no, something like that. You draw card and they
lose two life and they lose to life if they don't sacrifice the thing you
tell them to. Yeah, well they should sacrifice the land, piece of
shit, and they go not gonna lose two life. And then you draw
card off the top of your deck and you do it really aggressively too late,
like where people can you're that shit? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
that's how you play braids. Everybody, what a posty bit post citadel.
This is Bullus's citadel. You could look at the top card of your library
at anytime. Also, you may play lands and cast spells from the top
of your library. If you cast it spell this way, you pay life
instead of mana. And I'm sure everybody except one person ever that I've played
this card against or played against this card has said, oh I forgot that
it even had this last ability tap sacrifice ten non land permanence. Each opponent
loses ten life. It's pretty good. Yeah, why is it the post
malone one I'm gonna do this is keep going black market connection. Oh yeah.
At the beginning of your pre combat main phase, choose one or more
create a treasure, lose one life, draw a card, lose two life,
create a three two colorless shape shift or creature token with all creature types
and lose three life. I don't like that they took the Dungeons and Dragons
formatting off of that. I liked what it told you what you were doing,
like you hire a mercenary, you buy information, you stolen goods.
Yes, I liked that. I appreciate that. I know that that's superfluous
and whatever whatever, but I do like that, and I wish they didn't
take that off the card. Man, I got to play that card more.
I don't have any copies of that card. It's twenty five bucks.
That says a good card. Hey, it's a pretty played this card.
I played in a Traccix and get the life back, and I think I
have another. I think I played on Herobi as well. I don't got
no life gain decks that could get the life back. But I played in
Arobi and that's that ain't no life game deck. Baby. Let me tell
you, Oh, you do not have much life in Herobi. Oh my
god, I hate life al hammer, it's archive speak of life. I've
played against this card so many times in the last few weeks. Man,
this card, once it gets going is a tough card. Okay, So
if you would gain life, gain twice that life instead. If you draw
a card except for the first one, you turn draw two cards instead.
So if you draw two, you draw four, three, and draw six,
et cetera. Yes, you draw one additional that's you draw twice that
many cards. Yes, Oh it's pretty good. Yeah, that's a good
card. And you'll notice in that section, I guess you'll notice that there's
nothing that says pay to lose two, draw to good on you Chris almost
oh, yes, except for airbos. Yeah, but he's like a dude.
Yeah, he's like pay four have a five to seven destructible dude.
Yeah. You'll notice that there's a lot of cards promos and showcases and secret
layers notwithstanding that are like eight ten, twenty fifteen dollars, twenty eight dollars.
We're gonna talk about that in the old Budge section. Seventy dollars.
Yeah. Okay, let's go to the interaction real quick, because we can
fly through a lot of this and remember anything that says damage on it is
gonna have death touch and life link yes, and or any spell could give
us a two two blocker to save us some life. Create some blockers that
would dissuade attackers, because when people attack and we block, they're actually gonna
lose life, not us, correct, because we've got to throwaway blockers.
Right. So there's seventeen of these, let's get through them. Okay,
we're gonna start with van Blast well v Blast love it. Yeah, get
an artifact or get all the artifacts. Tibble's trickery, that red counter spell.
Yes, it's a chaos whip for something on the stack. Yes.
Tectonic Hazard deals one damage to each opponent and each creature. Oh, that
gets all the creatures. It's the one Man of Wrath, yes, because
it's got death touch. Yes, Starve extinction, Starve stink. Yes,
I mean this is basically a wrath too, but it's for seven and it's
also going to gain you twenty life per creature and planes walker in play.
Oh man kill a lamb star of Extinction, I'll gain three hundred. Yes,
it's pretty good. Good. That combos with another card we're playing,
Smash to Dust. Choose one, destroy artifact, destroy creature with defender.
Smash the Dust deals one damage to each creature. That's the one you choose,
people, IMP's mischief change the target target spell to a target target target
target. You lose life. You go to the target target Man of Value.
I would Playvolcanic followed instead of MS Mischief. Oh yeah, because it
can't be countered, right, because it can't be countered. It's an instant
and can instantly win you the game with revelent Riches, Reavy and Rich.
You play revel and Riches. You got some man. Oh yeah, because
an instant. You do it on player forest turned blah blah blah. At
the end of turn you just go, yeah, revel and Riches, I
win. Yeah, yeah, this deck is a deck that would want to
do that. You've got revelin Riches on the battlefield. Player to your right
ends their turn. You Volcanic followed an instant speed and then kill ten guys
during your up keep you in. Yeah, okay, that's pretty good.
Fire Covenant pay x life and it deals x damage divided as you choose among
any number of target creatures. Neat Feed the Swarm gets an uh uh an
enchantment or a creature. It's a sorcery. Play Wild Magic Surge instead Fang
Dragon. It's got an adventure and the adventure for two men is a sorcery
deals one damage to each creature you don't control. Oh, I think that's
an important point right there. Yes, that you don't control, very important,
it's very very And then it's a six three for seven on the other
side, Yes, end the festivities. One damage to each creature and planes
walker they control creatures for an opponent electrickery. Ooh, this deals one damage
to something for one, or you can overload it for frickin' two. It
deals damage to everything. Then we have deflecting Swat and deadly raulic. If
you control your commander, they're free. Deflecting twat changes a target, and
deadly Raulic exiles exiles a creature. People always forget it's exile. Why are
these not the special ones, the full art foils of these now, Chris
Jones, come on, chaos Wark, it gets rid of a thing.
Chondra's ignition. Oh man, this one's freaking good. Okay. Target creature
you control deals damage equal to its power to each other creature and each opponent.
Now this wouldn't have death touch or lifelink. Correct, so cool.
Correct, it doesn't do the thing that the other things do. Yes,
because Judith is doing the damage. So if you give infect to Judith and
she had ten power. For example, that would do it. Yes,
it would, Yes, that would do it. Blazing volley. One damage
to each creature your opponent's control, blasphemous ass. Thirteen damage to frickin' everybody.
So that gives you thirteen life per creature in play. That's so good.
That's really good. I like that. It's kind of like to Ralph,
except instead of you winning the game, you just have a bunch of
life. I like that. I love life works just as well. I
don't know. We're going to talk about finishers in a minute, but first
we got to find out. How are we gonna do even more damage?
You want to multiply our damage, Yes, we do. We'll start with
wound reflection. If at the end of turn, each bone who lost life
loses that much life again. Now there's a creature that does this now right,
Yeah, he's in the maybe border, the sideboard or some shit.
Okay, oh yeah, blood letter of al ask Laws. Yes that what
it is? Yes, yes, yeah, soulfim. The Mayhem dominance.
If a source you control a deal non combat damage to an opponent or a
permanent opponent controls it, deals double that damage to that player or permanent instead,
not even an ink blot. It's an ink blot foil, but it's
not the raised oil printing. Come on, yeah, come on, if
you're gonna pimp the deck, come on, get on my level, bro,
and on my level. Fire re emancipation triple damage. I think sitting
on fire is also triple damage. Triple damage. People people were telling me
that's the that's their favorite card of last year is this one because it's got
convoked. It's eight manna and it triples damage. But it's got convoked so
your guys can tap to help pay for it, and it ends up costing
a well not eight. And it's only sources you control too, which is
yes nice. It can't be used against you once you've tapped out to play
it. Yes, people just sit there in fear, yes, fear and
fire yes, yes, fiendish duo okay, first strike five five four six,
and it's a damage doubler yes for you, but it's a guy important
yes. Yes. Do you want to recur some stuff? We do?
Okay, we can reanimate, reanimate now remember on these kinds of spells,
we would choose get a two too imp right, Yes, because we don't
care if our reanimate has death touch and life link, that would make no
sort of no purpose. Correct, So our reanimate actually turns into a two
for one, and then it could actually turn into a three for one because
we're gonna get it. We're gonna block something in either trade with an imp
or give us like virtual three for one when we block and like gain life
anyways, because we don't take attack damage and you do two damage to our
each opponent when that creature. Yes, so it could be like a multipoint
life swing when we get an IMP off of something like a reanimate. This
is really really powerful when you choose the IMP. I think most people are
like, I want to gain life and do the life gain thing and pay
life to draw cards and do this. No, dude, if you get
enough of those imps and start sacking them, people are gonna just frick and
die. Yeah. And you have an impact tremor's two in two out,
Well, you get it. Let's just say, for example, you have
an impact tremors and let's just say a tour brand. They come in,
you three them, they go out, You four them. Oh man,
it's whoa that's seven point off off of some dink that you got off of
playing a spell you were gonna play anyway. Yes, to get another very
good effect off a frickin lightning bolt that you freaking killed the guy, right,
Okay, get a guy back, Lose life equal to its amount of
value Forrexian reclamation. I love this card. Oh yeah, and this one's
good with lifelink black one. Pay two life, return a creature graveyard to
hand, come on instance and sorceries in your graveyard. Gain flashback equal to
your man acost, and it has flashbacks so you could do that again sometime.
It's a good card like that one. MSICS is Mastery Excel Instance or
sorcery from your graveyard. You can play it or for free, or you
pay eight to overload it. Exile all instances and sorceries from your graveyard and
you can play all of them for free. Yeah. I lost to that
card on Monday if you Alex played it, and I was like, oh
yep. We just command the dread hordo choose any number of target creatures and
or planes walker cards in graveyards. Command the dread Hord deals damage to you
equal to the total converted man a cost of those cards but then you put
them all into freaking play under your control. It's a good thing that blasphemous
Act has life leg Hey, I'm gonna blasphemous Act and gain two hundred,
and then I'm gonna command the dread Hord same turn, because blasphemo is that
costs one eighty, and get all this stuff into play, take eighty damage
and then I'm gonna and I'm gonna still be over one hundred. Oh man,
man, that's that's funny. I like that. Man. I want
Judith to freaking do eighty. Put me in a zipper mask and do eighty
to me. All right, value cards, I haven't got enough freaking value.
We're just zipping through this deck. Hey, this is easy value stuff
here. Okay, I don't know what this first card does. I don't
either, So we're gonna edge more Witch. Give it a I've heard of
it, I just don't remember. Let's learn together. Sedge more Witch is
a three to two with menace for black two. It has ward pay three
lives. You can't target nless you pay three life an addition to other costs
for playing the card, and whenever you cast or coffee an instant or sorcery
spell. You get a one to one white and green pest token that when
it eats git, you get a life. Oh man, she could put
your in a clamp too, you'd like that. Yeah, probably she's pretty
hot. Roaming thrown, roaming thrown. I would sit on this and just
walk around in it. You're getting clamped and I'm just walking around outside in
a big chair. I assume you pick human with it, yes, because
you pick a creature type when it comes into play. Yeah, it is
that creature type in addition to being a gollum. And if a triggered ability
of another creature with that type trigger, it triggers an additional time, So
we would get double lifelink then death such that's which does nothing, correct,
But getting double imps isn't anything. Yeah, yo, and getting double pests
would be pretty good too. Oh with your sedge more witch. Yeah,
because she's a human. Correct, we'd probably go other humans that we just
didn't really take note of. Not really, there's not very many creatures.
Let's let's just take a quick peak. So there's what's prosper. Prosper is
a demon I think tifling warlock. Yeah, Gigs is a creator is a
god. Braids is a nightmare man. There ain't a bunch of creatures as
a Ferrexian horror. Fiendish Dubo is the devil. When we pick human,
then we pick human. Yeah, definitely oxides a goblin and doesn't have a
triggered ability. Well, it has a triggered ability. I guess you could
pick goblin and then double but no, that's no. Yep, ball's that.
Yeah, you know who else is a human? Opposition Agent? Oh,
there we go? Yeah, Apple agent is a human. If if
somebody's gonna tutor, we get to tutor for them and cast their thing,
and it's got flash Ryan, Ryan on Thursday, what happened? Oh?
I was so from Anna for the whole game, Yes, the whole game.
Oh did you Apple Agent and then get a soldering Oh I wish,
I wish I opo agents and got at a cel ring Because what I actually
ended up doing was I finally tapped out because I finally could play a spell.
Yes, tapped out to play my spell. I've been sitting on Opposition
Agent the whole game, like you had one in your hat on in my
hand. Yes, buddy, played goddamn conflux. Conflux searched for five cards.
Oh, I could have done it. I could have done it because
the thing I did didn't do anything. All I had to do was just
keep sitting on it. And I could have searched for one card of each
color out of their library and then I could have played them. Oh,
I was saw so down in the dumpy. People don't like that card very
much, but I think because it rarely shows up, I don't think it's
such a huge deal. Bro. If you oppo agents somebody's conflux, I
would have walked across the room in high five of you. If that happened
to me, I would have just kudoed you respectfully, bowed out yeah,
and jumped off a bridge. Would have laughed the whole way to my freaking
demise. And you wouldn't. But you wouldn't have scooped for so I still
play your ship. Yes, yes, that's how you would have, you
freaking oppo agent my conflicts. You just keep those cards forever. Now.
Next card is a pestilent Spirit. This is a cool one, okay,
Menace and death touch. It's a three to two for three and instance and
sorceries. You control have well death touch, So It's kind of like,
if you have this and Judith, you don't need to pick death touch Lifelink.
You can just make imps. There you go, which is cool.
Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Mayhem Devil. Whenever you sacrifice a
permanent Mayhem Devil deals one damage to any target. Sure, hmmm, are
we gonna be sacrificing permanence and mass? There are builds where you just chain
spell after spell after spell after spell, it only get imps and you sack
them to Ferrexian or Astionnaut's altar. You've heard about those cards, but I
think I've heard of those. Well, every time you sack, you're in.
Somebody takes two and you make man. Everybody takes two. Yeah,
yeah, everybody takes two and you make man to cast your next spell.
Let's say it's a card draw spell, or let's say it's a ritual or
a tutor for more rituals and card draw spells, and you mix in the
Mayhem Devil to help facilitate that. When they go out take damage with the
purfers, the impact tremors and all those kinds of things. Like kind of
good as ship Harmonic prodigy. Oh yeah, if you ox plays this one,
this double triggers Shammon triggers that we control. It doesn't double the triggers,
it triggers again, So you could you don't have to pick life link
lifelink. You could pick that. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's a distinction.
If it doubles the trigger, like when you when you double when you
copy something, you have to pick the same modes. But when it triggers
again, you can pick different modes. Okay, it's important distinction. And
it's very good in this deck. Very cool. Speaking of very good in
this deck, I don't know. I mean the decks already pretty good.
Yes, we've talked about it, right, Like, I don't know if
it could get any more I don't know versatile. I don't know if we
get any better looking with Judith as the command and Chris baul Jones, you
know, I don't know if it could be any more powerful. I feel
like the only thing you could possibly add to it is brashaunter. I think
people are starting to put brash taunter in the deck just for that, just
to say see how you segue it in and just scream brash don at the
top of your lines. So if that's if that's what you do, people
to keep doing it, I hope so I appreciate it's a brash taunter,
as we all should know by now, is a one to one goblin for
Red four indestructible. When he takes damage, he deals that much damage to
an opponent, and you can tap him and pay red to to have him
fight another target creature. So, if we got our damage tripler and our
blasphemous act, somebody's taken frickin' seventy eight, right, it's probably more than
that. It's probably more than that. We'll just be honest. Heause it's
thirteen to thirty. What's what's thirty nine times three? Oh? Thirty nine
times three? Oh? Rick, I did that wrong? Eight? I
don't know. It's like one hundred and twenty something, twenty eight, I
don't know. Here Here it is here it is how much damage do they
take? Dead enough? Yes, it's enough enough enough. Let's you starve
extinction instead. It's one hundred and eighty that's how much damage it is.
Okay, brashle fuck your life. Oh he's already dead and he's all and
he's still giving him the finger. Yes, we have two more cards.
Oh yeah, and I know you like one of these, and I know
I like one of these, And these are distinctly different cards. First card
is the one that I like. Ourcanebum Martin give it is an enchantment for
red Red four. Whenever you cast your first instant or sorcery each turn.
Each turn, exile an instant or sorcery card at random from your bin.
Then copy each card exiled with our cane bombartment, then play them for free.
Whoa, so you get one more every time you cast a spell on
every turn. Instance are important people? Yes, okay, you think good
Star of Extinction is good the first time you play it, Wait until you
play it multiple times in a turn. Copy each card exiled with our canebom
mardment you may cast. You may cast any number of copies without paying their
manecost. So we'll refresh Uncle Brando. Okay, whenever you cast an instant
or sorcery, it gains life link and death touches. Let's read our last
card, which very much cares about when we cast things. Oh you mean
ether flex reservoir. Reservoir goes right along with connoisseur. Yes, okay,
Lux reservoir. Whenever you cast a spell, cast you gain one life for
each spell you've cast this turn. Oh so you you cast a spell,
gain a life, Cast sex Spy gain two life. Cast your third spell
gain three life. Our cane bombardment. I don't know. You cast your
eighth spell, you gain eight life. I don't know. You're probably at
about fifty by that point, in addition to all of the life gain that
Judith has given you. Yes throughout the game, and I don't know.
Just this fricking turn, because we're casting instances and sorceries and giving them life
link and then we can pay fifty to deal fifty to something literally anything,
damn oh man, what a finisher. Keep in mind it's damage. So
if you have a damaged triple, you could do one hundred and fifty to
brash Haunter and then do four hundred and fifty to an opponent. Okay,
let's not fuck around. That's not right. Let's do enough enough. How
is that not right? Three times fifty is one hundred and fifty. Yes,
brash Taunter triples it again to four hundred and fifty. That is right,
That is right. Math I can brash taunt it. I was thinking
double. I was like bred a double one hundred and fifty is three hundred.
Yeah, but we're not double, but we're adding another one hundred and
fifty because you have to. Sometimes sometimes you just need to do four hundred
and fifty. Well, sometimes the rules of the game actually say that you
have to even though you only actually maybe need to do thirty five. So
I'm gonna do more than ten times enough. I'm gonna kill you and the
one next to you. Now, I'm gonna kill that guy over there in
that game over there. I'm gonna kill the LGS owner. I'm gonna kill
the janitor down the hallway. So here's here's what I'm gonna drive. Brash
Taunter is gonna drive a bus into a freakin' hospital. Here's here's when that's
relevant. Oh yes, here's when that's right. Let's say you're playing five
Columno and Angeleric. Oh yeah, and he's one thousand life. Oh yeah,
and he has vigor in play or my command right deck. Yeah that
too, your thousand life, Yeah, that has to have vigor and play
Vigoran play is very important. Oh yeah, see eighth or flux reservoir one
of their creatures for one hundred and fifty. Yes, prevent that damage.
Put one hundred and fifty counters on their creature. Then you fight it with
brash Hunter. And then brash Taunter takes four hundred and fifty and he does
nine hundred, thirteen hundred and fifty damage to the son of a bitch.
They thought they were safe because they needed an extra zero on their life total.
Nobody is safe from brash Taunter. Nobody, nobody, no fucking body.
You know what? Fuck it? Ad Green to this deck, will
play Vigors. We can ether flux our own shit so that we can fight
it with brash Taunter. Judith can get the fuck out of here. I
just made the best jun deck of all time. Is there gen decks where
you just have a tutor in the commands on so you can find Judith and
brash Taunter. No, I know that Rocco is a is a NYA deck,
but that doesn't that doesn't do it doesn't help us, doesn't well cut
Black play play Rocco. We did it. That's the deck. Strings and
weaknesses, strength, lads and weaknesses. Pound out some more stuff. Let's
pound out some more Schnitzel here. Okay, I always mention it, you
know I do. It's the new hotness. And when I mean hotness,
you know what I mean, I'm gonna and I always mention it strength brash
hunting. Here we go. Yeah, okay, so we didn't. We
said we were going to, but we didn't really highlight multiple build paths here.
But I think that this deck is, or this commander has the ability
to be an aggro deck kind of how we are. This is the splashy
bigness version of the deck. We could be a combo deck, which I
have talked about with with the rituals, the card draw, the sacrifice,
the ETB deal damage stuff with those imps. You're storming with your card draw
spells, making imps that you sacrifice to play more card to do to damage.
But this deck has this third ability to be a control deck in that
I could cast all the sweepers and make imps and or make imps to block
to keep myself alive for one big splashy ether flux style finisher like like almost
think of almost like a draw go style like blue deck where at any time
I could instant speed kill all the creatures, so you can direct the traffic
of attackers saying if that comes at me, I'll kill it, or if
you attack me, if you elpham me, i will kill every creature and
put you all back, and and I'll gain fifty life in doing that.
That kind of stuff, right, And it could be combo control or eggro
or some combination of. You know how, it's kind of always two.
You have a various path of you're not set into doing the one thing.
And this deck could also play all of the Red Commanders. When I say
the Red Commanders, I'm talking tour Brand and Imodean, the pyro Hammer and
Onngjack whatever, the thor guy, all of the theme they all fit in
this deck and they if you want to play them all. So it does
the red thing really really well. But you add black to it too,
which is which gives you the ability to tutor card draw, add things like
wound reflection, which is just another damage doubler, and re animation if you
actually want to go like maybe the big creature route, or if you want
to go like the re animation lets you get your soul fims and your tour
brands and stuff back. So it gives a deck some staying power in addition
to better card draw. I think, yes, so it's cool. I
like it. I like the Storm version. I like the control version.
I like those two modes of playing magic. All versions are good. I
like that. Weaknesses weaknesses all right. I think this deck, especially the
storm version of it, which we could encroach on with this build Chris bald
Jones is built, could develop a reputation in your meta for being the deck
that wants to wrath every turn or deal thirteen damage to everything all the time.
And this particular build of the deck is the wrath every turn version of
it. Yes, and that will develop a reputation of being not the most
fun to play against. And so what you're gonna see is your Judith is
gonna come into play if I've immediately die, come into play for one,
because you reanimated it immediately die. Then it'll come into play for seven.
You're gonna be tapped out, she's gonna get one spell off, she's gonna
immediately die, and then you're now you're out of the game. Yes,
without Judith, the deck doesn't have as much play unless you have brashed on
her. Yeah, and you know you know. What I think too,
is like, Okay, I'm gonna go Judith and then one man of blasphemous
Act and kill Judith and I'm gonna get to do the thing and I'm gonna
gain you know, eighty or one hundred life and that's that's great for me.
But that's a turn six style play when most of the game has already
developed, and then you immediately kill your own commander and set yourself back two
turns or turn and a half whatever it is. So the play pattern of
it, I think, isn't quite what people are going to expect. And
that's what's going to drive this deck to sort of move towards being more efficient,
more comboie, more all in one turn, which is further going to
drive that reputation, which is going to make it harder to play, which
is going to drive the reputation to be more efficient. And it's like this,
I'm not going to call it a negative feedback loop, but it is
a negative feedback loop. As this deck is built currently, essentially, what
you're gonna your only real efficient one turn simply win the game is going to
be is ether flux into blasphemous act into shooting everybody down in a death starting
everybody. That's your only turn one win that you're going to have with the
deck the way it's built right now, and so you're going to have the
a lack of play and the last thing. Oh and I'm gonna I've said
this before me read Judith initially, I'm gonna say it again. She costs
five, and everything else in your deck costs less. Oh like all the
action, all the Judith relevant action in your deck costs less. Yes,
and you want to hold your one and two drop cards in your hand to
play them late game? Yeah, like you have your Blazing Volley one damage
to everything for one, but ye are you are you gonna play it on
one? Are you gonna wait until turn six when you can? Yeah?
Without Judith it's a worthless card. And then Blazing Folly and and uh Electricery
are jamming up your hand when you ought to be casting things like Wound Reflection,
City on Fire and Dark Steel Side No Bullus is Citadel Yeah right,
so raids like you want to play those kind of things, but you chat
it up with all this like little pitdly crap. Yeah, you can't play
because you don't have five many yet yes. So it's they serve no purpose
until a certain point in the game. And I liken that to the White
God from Amancat. That makes a four to four zombie. Every time you
play a creature where all the creatures you jam in that deck of the little
pissy small ones, you do three or four in a turn after you cast
your commander, but you got you're spending your dudes to not die, and
then by the time you play your command or you have no dudes in your
yes, yea, so it the deck is a little bit kind of wonky
that way. And I'm not saying it always falls into that trap, but
you're gonna have games where your hand's gonna be full of all this dirtily shit
that doesn't do anything, and you're gonna go three turns without drawing the land
and you're gonna have no fun. And I think that it's not gonna happen
often that's but it will happen, and it will make you question, am
I a bad deck builder? No? But that's the thing that's gonna trend
the deck towards that that efficiency kind of direction to say, Okay, I
don't need this, this, this, this, and this I need the
rituals and the card draw to get me to the thing that I do need,
which gets you into the now your deck's the same exact Yeah, and
and again, none of that's bad, but it is a weakness of the
deck based on how we evaluate decks here at Command or Cookout podcast. Yes,
if you trend towards efficiency, you're you're probably also trending towards like sameliness
from game to game, right versus that diverse experience or that non linear experience.
There's the word yeah. Yeah, So just be careful of that and
be mindful that the closer you get and the more I'm gonna say non CEDH
cards you run as a means to build that efficiency into your deck, the
more of a reputation management situation you're gonna have on your hands. Is that
a weakness that we're playing so many CDCH cards in this deck with Jessica's will
outside extortionist, Uh, the one ring I have it all down as I
haven't written down as runs many known CEDH cards, And that isn't a weakness.
I mean, everybody wants to play good cards, right, and those
cards are fun to cast and resolve. But you will run into players and
this isn't this deck fault. You will run into players that say, oh,
Doc Side, why are you playing that? It's like the best card
in CEDCH. You didn't know that's the kind of game we were playing.
Oh, I didn't know we were playing Demonic Tutor and Beseech the Mirror.
Like I didn't know that we were just like cheating, right, Like,
You're gonna run into people who have that attitude towards some of these cards.
Let me handle that. I would never I would never pay seventy dollars for
a magic card just to try and win a game at EDH. I'd never
buy the one ring. Fuck those people. Yeah, let mean there's that's
how you deal with them. Fuck them, continue the story. Okay,
we're also gonna fuck something else. And it's called the budget. Yes,
yes, this is expensive in its current iteration with the showcase and the foils
and the alternate printings and stuff. At the time I did the notes for
the list, I had eighteen hundred and fifty six monies. That's lots.
Yeah, and that's like three thousand, eight hundred and fourteen million, yes,
okay, many cards in the thirty plus range. Yes, and that
sometimes is due to that card being expensive sometimes because that's the version that is
in this list. Yes, okay, so a quarter of that is the
bat we're playing a bad Lands. Yes, five hundred of those dollars is
from one land. So let's let's get into it here. Bad Lands five
point fifty. Cut it Herborg Tomb of yog Moth in a two color deck.
Cut it. Okay, Fetches caught them. There's nothing that says we
need lots of cards in our graveyard like a Underworld Breach Yep, which this
deck would love, by the way, could play yes, so we could
cut one hundred and eighty five dollars off of Vetchland budget. So we're cutting
seven hundred dollars so far. Okay, we've got a this one has a
h a secret Layer command tower. Yeah, and it's thirty eight dollars.
So I'm just gonna say command tower free. Yeah. Yeah, you can
just play the free command tower that you find on the floor of the LGS.
If you go to any Magic player that's been playing for more than a
year and say, man I really need a command tower, they will give
you, I hope. So man I gave Austin, four soul rings and
like eight commanders fears the other day, Yes, to get them out of
my fucking house. Yes, yes, okay, and the final one because
some people just have a thing about these whatever tutors tutors at the time of
the list, because it's different on your screen. One hundred and sixty two
dollars worth of tutors, sure, and like they're all expensive, Like every
tutor there has a price tag that's like more than dinner. Yeah, they're
ten bucks, they're ten bucks, are up. The cheapest one is ten
and the most expensive one's fifty. So that's the range. Yeah, one
hundred and sixty two dollars. If we do all of those cuts, we
cut nearly one thousand dollars out of business. Deck Man, Magic's ridiculous.
Yeah, Magic's insane. And the deck still eight hundred and eighty dollars.
What are we doing? What are we doing it? I mean it counts
the sideboard. Also, there is a sideboard to the decks that's one hundred
and fifty four off right there. Heay, hold on a second, so
we're down to six fifty one hundred and fifty four, yep, So you
can cut them out as well. Seven to twenty two, we're at if
you cut the one ring, there's seventy bucks off, and then I mean
then you're just planning the best version of all the stuff. Because there's lots
of cards in this deck that are between you think, the ones that cost
thirty and forty dollars, the ones that add up, and they do.
But when you have one hundred cards and none of them are worth less than
four or five bucks, now the deck goes into like staggering prices. Yeah,
so when it doesn't necessarily represent like because you can get these cards not
no sideboard, no one ring, that's an extra fricking two hundred and twenty
four dollars off, it's still six hundred and fifty two. Because we have
many many cards in the five to thirty dollars range and then a smattering of
cards still in the thirty plus dollar range. So to do the things that
this deck wants to do, like triple damage and double damage and gain life
in red and draw multiple cards like Alhammert's Archive and bullus Is Citadel and Airbos
and all these things that most of which are mythic or rare. You're looking
at four or five, six, seven, ten dollars at a minimum.
So if you're an experienced Magic player and you have a like a big,
great collection, fantastic build this deck. I could, and this isn't a
flex, I could go home and build this deck now. But you've been
playing Magic for like twenty five years. I've been playing Magic for a million
years. If you haven't, this is how I would pause it that people
should build Judith, make it like your fifty dollars deck, and then just
find the rankest, dirtiest, cheapest, crappiest, frickin' burn spells that are
twenty eight cents, put them all in, make imps, and maybe spend
a few bucks on a couple sack out let's to get rid of imps.
And I mean, here's I think that I don't know if we've ever pointed
this out before. If you're gonna look at a really expensive deck like this,
let's say you want to go and buy this exact deck two thousand bucks.
You're gonna go out and you're gonna buy it. Here's something that is
hold on even if you take out the duel land and all the foils and
showcases. Let's call it a thousand bucks. Sure, so it's a thousand
dollars deck and you go and buy every single card in it, include the
thirty five cent one damage spells. Every single card in this deck is a
card that you will play if you build another red or black deck when you're
tired of Judith. There are no dead cards in here. Yeah, we
see all This is only good because there's no twenty dollars card. That's only
good because it's Yeah, we see the damage, doublers and triplers all the
time, dock side all the time, big score, pirates, pillage,
seesus bowls, we see those all the time. Boluses, sit ATel,
City on Fire, musics and mastery. I just freaking died to that the
other day in a in a is it deck, Braids, Gigs, prosper,
unexpected windfall, wheel of Misfort, deflecting, Twak, blasphemous act,
deadly rawl, Yeah, feed the swarm. Well, Jessicas, will you
ever have that card? Oh that's a good card. All those, all
of the cards here are cards that you will play. So the budge I'm
gonna see budget is justified because it's still too goddamn high for a fucking luxury
card game. But the fact is, if you were to buy the deck
as built right now, you have a collection, not just a deck,
and you're gonna like, oh, if I take Judith apart, I wasted
all that money because you could break this down and build three decks out of
it easily, and that I and three decks for one thousand dollars is in
the realm of Oh I spent fifty dollars on a pre Con, then two
hundred and two hundred and fifty dollars to upgrade my pre Con. Then you've
got a three hundred dollars deck. And that's what this deck could turn into
if you ever took it apart. That's that's a pretty good assessment there,
