adventure. How you do it? I say you sneaking in? A whole
bunch is going down. We're back since yesterday. We're gonna talk about a
new product, a new thing that doesn't happen every day that I'm very excited
about. Universe is Beyond Product Runner. It happens every day. This isn't
Universes Beyond, Is it no Go? That's from with its Universes Within.
It's from Hasbro. All the characters are from Ravnika. This is Universes Within
Baby, and they're adapting a board game that they own and mashing it into
the magic that we know. And it's gonna be really cool. I hear
what you say, but triangle Hollow Stamps say otherwise, Triangle Hollow Stamps can
fuck right off some people that think some suardings to tell. And before we
get to any of that stuff, you have to thank your official business Daddy's

People people from out of out of the country have brought snacks from their country.
Man, we've had cheese and the can. Those were gross, Hey,
those little whatever the hell? Those those little black and white candies that
were like salty, just gross. Some people liked them, No, they
did, esus liked them. Zoidy g J was just being nice. Nobody
liked that stuff. Nobody being nice to the foreign guy. Yes, he
didn't want him to come out, fly all the way over here and feel
stupid, just have his candy. Suck that candy was terrible. Oh man,
I had. I didn't like it, and I had a few more,
just to make sure. It's like when somebody gives you a free beer
and you're like, I'll keep drinking this because it's a free beer, right,
I had, and you just you leave like this much left in the
bottom because you're like, okay that I've had enough. I had one and
I thought, well, maybe it just tasted like that because I was drunk.
Nope, they were real bad, they said, even worse when you're
sober. Well, that's the kind of stuff that we do with the CC
experience, if you want to be a part of that. A final piece
of podcasting business before we talk about Clue, we get the deal of the
Week Commander cuocoat dot com links to that in the show notes. Play mats
or any package that includes a playmat ten percent off. Yeah, I got
a couple left. I'm hoping that they're gone by the time we've done The
Fast and the Furious Thing, the Face to Face games thing. This weekend
but this comes out Oh fuck after it comes out after you. Oh dang.
Okay, Well they might be gone, but they might not be timpoorally,
that is possible, but unlikely. Yes, if you go to buy
one and they're gone, well, well you missed out. You should have
gone there earlier. That's right. So we've got clue. We've got clue,
and I've got some queries, some question. Oh man, I did
some reading and then I got some sad. I've got to get This product
gave me a sad. Ryan will give you sad. It gave me a
sad. Well, let's talk about the good stuff. Then we'll talk about
the bad stuff. Then we'll talk about some more good stuff. Okay,
we're overwhelming the good stuff. That's a sad sandwich, which makes it sad
again. Yes, let's call it a emotionally diverse sandwich. Emotional sandwich.
Yes, we did it. Okay, Okay, So we've got clue.
It's part of murders at karlov manor Ravnika? Is it one thing? Is
it two different sets? How do I get the cards? There's two hundred
and eighty three clue cards. Are they included in the frickin' set. Do
I gotta buy something else? Are they commander decks? What the hell's going
on? Here? We go? Okay, so the first thing you're gonna
notice if you go out to buy the clue addition, which I think is
still should it's it's really cool. There's definitely some lead pipes and stuff in
there. Knife rope, candlestick. No gun, no gun, yeah no,
Magic doesn't do the gun thing. They're giant wreck machines with guns on.
They do the gun thing, but not just gun goblin sharp shooter.
His gun is actually a hammer, not the original one. It's a gatling
gun. Anyway. The point is, here's what you get when you buy
the box. You're gonna spend somewhere between the box. There's a box.
It's its self contained box. Okay, you buy it's just magic clue.
Yes, it goes somewhere between. I've seen them and this is Canadian money,
so between seventy and one hundred and twenty dollars depending on what story you
go to buy it out, well, go to Fusion and save your money
Congress and in there what you're gonna get is you're gonna get the six clue.
The Kluemans, the humans that are from Clue. Oh did you just
make that up? Yes? Oh please, you just made it up.
Yes? Did you see that one of them? Two of them are advisors.
Yes, yes, and I thought of you immediately. So you get
good. You get six of them. Ok you get the five weapons okay,
and you get ten rooms okay, land cards, artifact equipment cards and
yeah, the whole kitchen, library, lounge like the Clue rooms in the
mansion r yes, secret passage study, yeah, that stuff. So you
get all the Okay, then you get one random Clue themed shockland, and
that's pretty good. These are freakin' cool when you look at them. They're
different parts of the mansion, and all of them have a dead body in
them, Like the breeding pool there's a guy who got drowned in the pool.
Yes, And the watery grave has like a dead body sticking out of
a bathtub or it's oh, that's a good one. They have a guy
in the oven. They have the circle like the chalk outline on Godless Shrine.
Yeah, okay, this is a good, good reason for you to
watch on YouTube for this episode if you haven't seen them, or if you
normally are a podcast listener, of course, listen to the whole podcast,
but also check it out on YouTube. It's worth checking these arts. I'm
not one hundred percent sure. Don't quote me on this, but I think
the only way to get these these shoklands, I think, is in this
product. Maybe you get them in collector boosters in one slot like a clue
theme slot in the Ravenu don't exist. A clue slot doesn't There is no
clue slot you can when we get the first bunch of cards, the characters,
the weapons, as far as I know, you can only get them
in this box. I guess these shots the same. Let us know in
the comments, let us know on Twitter, let us know on Facebook if
that's wrong, because I'll put that out there that we were wrong about that.
If somebody lets us know. There's two hundred and fifty two other cards.
Oh, ranging in goodness and badness? Okay? Are they all reprints?
Oh that's yeah, reprints and Ravnica themed. No, just reprints,
just reprints. Are you sure that that's a reprint? Says reprints right here?
Oh yeah, it does say reprints right there. But some of them
must be new. I think a movie like Amzu the click on hunger.
That's news got to be news n that's new as hell. There are some
new cards in here as well, mixed in with the old ones. Once
once we do our Ravnica not Set review, we'll take a look at those
and if any of those tickle our clue fancy taints, these ones are all
the new ones. There, there's an unruly crisis vernal. Oh yeah,
they're they're in Wuburg order from from New Yeah. And then they've got all
the reprints in Wuberg order again. But you're thinking, your two hundred and
fifty two cards, Holy shit, what are we getting in this box?
That's what you're gonna think. Yep, here's what you get in the box.
You get eight Jumpstart packs. Clue Jumpstart, I want to do this,
I want that. Each pack is two colors, so they're all guild
themes. Okay, so you could, hypothetically probably will end up with a
four color, forty card deck. That's why they give you Shock clans.
What the fuck am I? Right? So, and then they're gonna have
they're all themed just like Jumpstart. It works just like Jumpstart, except it's
a four player game. Everybody has thirty life oh, and then you get
but you only open up two packs. You don't open up three or four,
just two. Okay, so there's there's eight. Each person opens up
the thing and then I'm as you can keep them all together or break them
up, do whatever you want. Yeah, yeah, because you could play
the Clue variant without the jumpstart packs. That's what I'm gonna ask you,
is what's the Clue variant? And is it gonna be the game day for
this set, like the play edh day for this set is going to be
the Clue variant? It better not be, because if I can get all
these cards for free and I paid eighty dollars for it, I'm gonna be
pissed right off. Probably you can, because I bought it for I don't
care about this. I have lots of shock lands, and I'm gonna open
a frickin' either Hallowed Fountain or Blood Crypt anyway, because I always do.
I don't need them, right, I don't need them. I don't want
them. I wanted the rooms, the weapons, and the people. But
here's what what are the rooms? Should each of the rooms are the rooms
are lands that come into play taps? Oh? Yes, one for each
guild and then they each have four tap investigate so you make a clue.
That's okay, that's fine. And then the weapons are all equipments that have
some ability for each color. They're each a clue equipment, so they all
cast for one manna of their color, and there's one for each color they
have equip I think they'll have equip three, not two to two. And
then the rope is three. They all have two sacked draw card and then
they each do a different thing, making your dudes bigger, tap to tap
other creatures they do shit, Yeah, they just yeah, they're kind of
medium equipment. And then the actual characters are actually good. We could talk
about them if you'll give give them a read, okay. Apothecary White is
a three to four for white three with vig. Whenever you attack, create
a food token for each player being attacked. Then White White tap tap x
untapped foods you control, create x white human creature tokens. That one does
token stuff. Okay, nothing to do with clues, just all with foods.
Senator Peacock, here we go. One of the advisors is a three
to four for blue Blue. Three. Artifacts you control are clues in addition
to their other types, and can be paid two and sacrifice to draw card.
Yep. Whenever you sacrifice the clue target Creature camp with block this,
that might go into my advisor deck's it's along with four or five artifact lands.
That's that I can sacrifice to make some guy who's a twenty kill you.
It's pretty good. Yeah, we got is this mastermind Plum Sam Jackson
kind of looks like kind of looks I don't know who he looks like yet,
but he looks like somebody. I'm gonna figure it out. Black two
for two to two for two, That's what I said. Whenever it attacks,
exile up to one target card from any graveyard. If an artifact card
is exiled this way, you make a treasure token whenever you cast a spell.
If manna from a treasure was spent to cast it, you draw card
and lose life. That's pretty cool. I don't know who he looks like.
Headliner Scarlett is a three three for four, one of which is red,
has haste. Whenever it comes into play, Creature's target player controls can't
block this turn. At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card
of your library face down. You may look at and play that card this
turn. So it's like super chaos straw creature target player controls can't block this
turn. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. Yes, that's
not bad. Emissary Green, the other advisor, is a three to three
for Green. Four. Whenever Emissary Green attacks, starting with you, each
player votes for profit or security. You create a number of treasure tokens equal
to twice the number of profit votes. Put a number of plus one plus
one counters on each creature you control equal to the number of security votes.
This is insane. I think that this card's good. This card is fucking
bonkers. Might be the best one. Oh, buy a lot by a
lot and then the but then everybody just just votes for profit or whatever to
give you treasure token. Oh no, now I have six man. That's
pretty good. Still. Commander Mustard is a five to five for five.
The one multi colored creature he's Borros and three with vig. Other soldiers you
control have Vidge, Trample and Haste. That's pretty good. Why not?
And then it has Boros two until end of turn. The soldiers you control
gain Whenever this creats or attacks, it deals one damage to defending player.
That's also good. Also pretty good. That gives all your guys plus one
attack that can't be blocked. That's right now, if you're playing the Clue
variant, getting back to answering your original question, all those cards I just
read don't matter. They're not in the game. So here's what you do.
But I but I own them all You own them, You own them
in your life. Okay, So to play the Clue variant, you take
one, You randomly select one of the characters, one of the weapons,
one of the rooms, just like in regular clue. And do you do
this at random? Nobody and nobody knows what it knows, and they all
go into an envelope just like Clue, and they go say in the middle
of the table. Yes, The rest of the cards get shuffled together.
Each of the four players gets a hand of these cards and you look at
them. What Chris the remaining cards, Let's say, oh, because we're
playing a four player game, yep, but there's only two cards left.
Well, there's lots of cards left because you put one character. That least
five characters left, but one weapon, and that means at least for you
put one room that. Oh yeah, there's rooms and okay, so we've
done that. Everybody gets some cards. Now, as you're playing magic,
whenever you attack a player and do damage to them, you get to guess
some of the stuff that's in the envelope. Oh, much like in clue.
So I'm gonna guess it was you hit me, and then I say
it was Colonel Mustard with the rope in the ballroom. Yes, and then
somebody goes hold on son and they show you secretly the ballroom. Now you
know that it's not the ballroom. The guy that showed you the ballroom makes
a treasure token. Oh that's good. Then you mark down in your little
sheet, not the ballroom, ain't the ballroom. Don't show nobody, and
the game continues until either all the other players are dead, in which case
you would win, or you get to if you can guess what's in the
envelope, you win. So it's just like Clue, but instead of doing
all the clue board game stuff. Yeah, it's attack with guys, right,
it's creature magic. Try to win the game via magic precisely. That
fits. Yeah, it works, And what I like about it is a
lot of mechanics are built into it that I think not only incentivize you to
attack and to learn magic, but also if you're like way fucking behind.
Let's say you're not drawing land, or you don't get the land you need
because you're playing a four color fucking sealed deck. Jesus, when somebody attacks
and guesses one of your cards and you show it to them, you make
a treasure token to get yourself caught up. And let's say you don't have
a board state, but you've got like a little guy with skulk or with
shadow maybe if one exists, you can just kind of get in there and
instead of trying to kill three people with thirty life with a one one,
you can try and win by solving mystery. Yeah right, And I think
that's pretty cool. I like, I like that, and I fully intend
to bring this along to d H and M and try it out with people.
That is pretty cool in regular EDH. Yes, oh yeah, I
think that'd be cool in regular edah. And you're like, man, I
have no frickin idea. Man, I guess the ballroom three times in a
row. I'm just gonna hit you for fifty bitch fucking it was Brando Brando
in the in the fucking what the hell in the LGS brands with brash Ta.
Yes, yes, I will do that. That will happen now.
So the game itself sounds cool. The box is neat. My complaint I
actually glossed over already is you don't know what's in these decks, and you
could, hypothetically, and this is entirely possible, probably rare, not likely,
but possible, that you could buy this box and just get hosed on
the Jumpstart packs that you're gonna get because they're random. You could end up
with like two SUCKI ones, and I mean like two of the same SUCKI
one with the same SUCKI cards in them. Right, would I would offer,
I would pause it that couple things. From a monetary standpoint, You're
not buying this to make bank off of crack and Jumpstart packs. I think
that that MTG finance ship has sailed, yes, right, yes, And
I think the best cards in this set are the ones you just get for
buying the box, which is cool. Yes, that's the right way to
do it. Yeah, I think that one, two, three, four
colored jump Start packs. I'm seeing just a snapshot of pages just a snapshot
of cards one, two, three, four, five, six, Seven
of the twelve cards I can see have hybrid manocost sure, which really eases
how you build or play a limited deck. Right, And I don't I'm
I'm gonna I'm gonna put my faith in Watsie and say, I don't think
that any of the Jumpstart combinations that you could potentially get are going to be
so much worse than any of the other ones. They've done Jumpstart probably enough
times now to know, like, a, let's build this product in a
way that none of it's gonna suck compared to none of the rest of it.
It's all gonna suck, or it's all gonna be good, but it's
all gonna be the same power level. Sure. And also they know that
people have developed ways, whether it be marking the front of the cards or
using different colored sleeves or whatever, where they can re separate the decks to
make new combinations the next time they want to play. Yeah, kind of
like people do with Cube. But I mean Cube, all the cards are
the same. The box actually does come with little dividers and stuff, so
you can keep the packs like packs. Oh, it's not like you open
it and then you make something together and it's done now. Yeah yeah,
right, like you can make there's some replayability based on stuff that they give
you, plus whatever you invent, right, like yeah, literally take a
sharpion right on the front of the card, or put it in the sleeve
and write on it, or use different colored sleeves, so you get some
replay value out of the let's call it the limited clue environment. Let's not
let's talk about limited. And I think that overall, I'm a big fan
of this. Wait a second, I know that thought. But it's cool.
No, it isn't. Could we call that product where you remix the
packs? Could we call it clube? Oh that's the only way I'd ever
played Jay's Cube with him is if it was clube. And if it was
just like this, we'll actually have to draft a deck clube. That's my
final thought. No, it isn't. I got some more questions this,
but I think this is cool. I'm excited for this. You've kind of
answered another one of my questions in that in that how have they adapted it?
Isn't it? Is it a successful adaptation? And when we play with
the clue jumpstart packs or anything within the Clue product, discounting or not counting
the people and the weapons and the rooms and the shotlans. Do we know
we're playing clue? Like? No, it just looks like ravnaka guys,
Yes, is that it is? There's yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing
clue like on the action can we have? Is that a reasonable expectation for
us to have if they want us to have an immersive product, to really
fricking give it to us. They did that with Warhammer, They did it
with Lord of the Rings, and and they did it so much with Lord
of the Rings and Warhammer that very staple reprints I'm talking like Swords to Plowshares,
Chaos, Warp and and Cultivate to Explore. Yeah, Soul Ring,
we got all different arts and all new flavor texts, freaking all of that.
Now, I'm not gonna ram it down Watsy's throat, because the product's
probably good and I know that you like it. It looks cool. And
they do this so much so that the simplest cards like Reprint and Secret Layers
have missprints because they just get missed in QC because they pump out so much
shit for us to buy it. Yep. So I'm not gonna jump down
their throat, but it would have been a more immersive experience, I think
if they could have really skinned it in clue. Right, let me get
cynical onya for a minute. Sure, I'm gonna tell you why these cards
aren't Clue themed. It's because they were gonna do return to return to return
to return to return to turn to return to run to ravnik a jumpstart.
But then the jump starts that they've been doing over the last bunch of sets
have been atrociously horrific and nobody likes them. So they took that exact product,
the exact product the marketing clue the marketing team got a hold of.
They said, hey, listen, we got this other property that we can
use that people really like. This's got this neat variant that we came up
with. We already own clue. We got to repackage and repurpose this thing
that we already did from two years ago, and we're gonna we'll take the
product that we think everybody is gonna shit all over anyway, and we're gonna
put it in this thing that's good. And it made a shit product into
a cool product. I think I think that that's that is a perfectly reasonable
thing to think, and a good service too, Like jump starts a good
product. Just jump start set. Every set is just it just gets boring.
They suck. Give us good jump start like Jumpstart one and jump Start
twenty two. Yeah, and Jumpstart Lord of the Rings. Those three jump
Starts top tier. The rest of them were toilet paper tier. Okay,
So if if that's the case, if the case is, oh, we
took this, we took this thing and we fixed it up and we re
skinned it with this property we already owned, is there any anticipation or do
we have any reasonable expectation to have this happen again? Here's my thought,
and and or talk about like the future of universes beyond going forward, like
even own they own everything. They own literally every property that I can think
of off the top of my head, except for maybe Barbie. They don't
have Barbie yet. Mattel is Barbie. Mattel is Barbie, and he Man
and he Man and they've got rights to Marvel. So that's a thing.
Yeah, we're not gonna we're not gonna go to Disney route with that because
Lorcana exists, even though they do have rights to Disney's well, while Disney
has rights to Disney. Yes, I think that they're gonna do it.
Aren didn't they announce they're gonna do Disney University beyond Not yet? I don't
think that they did not. Oh no, that was just because they got
Marvel. That was because they got Marvel, and because Disney owns Marvel.
And it just so happens that there are some Disney properties that just this year,
very recently went into public domain, and that is going to change a
lot of like pop culture, entertainment, clothing landscape over the next couple years
till either Disney wins it back or the Rising Tide kind of just absorbs all
of that into mainstream pop culture. Post Steamboat Willie free market, be on
the lookout for both Mickey Mouse slasher movies and the inevitable porn. Oh no,
dude, porn already exists, Yeah, but not one that's actually called
steamboat Willi. I'm pretty sure steamboat Willi pulls his whistle, that's gonna be.
I'm sure all of that already exists. I'm sure steamboat can mean a
whole bunch of different things depending on what body part we're talking about. Yep
and Willy, we all know it. We all know you, we all
yeah. But the point the universes beyond will continue to go everywhere, and
Watson has enough properties in the bank that they could cover up a plethora of
shitty Jumpstart sects if they wanted to. But I have a feeling that this
might be the winding down of the set Lee Jumpstart. I think it is
gonna be. I think we've seen that and this one. Because it's a
Ravenica set, they maybe said, hey, let's do like two color Ravenica
Guild frickin' jump Start because that's interesting to teach people about guilds and two color
and Jumpstart and hybrid packs and then all of those things. Then that one
guy was sitting in the thing and he says, but what about the four
collar decks? Nobody likes that, and they throw them out the window.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah. So instead they slapped some
clue on it to prevent even more negative criticism from them printing a subpar product
one turn it into a good one. Yeah. Yeah, the clue stuff
looks good, so does it look fun? Yes, we've answered that absolutely
we will. I will one hundred percent have reports to give to the nation
about the clue areas. When does it come I'm gonna play it. When
does it come out? So what at the same time as the rest of
this shiit February something, February two. There we go a couple of weeks.
Is that when it is? I don't know, I don't know.
Probably not. Yeah, well I'll find it while we're talking. Yeah,
it looks fun. They've adapted it. Well, the new cards are fine.
We get our hands on it by buying the clue box. And there's
no clue specific or clue art cards in collector boxes of Karlov manner. In
all of my reading about what's in a collector booster what can you get in
there, there's no mention made at all of clue cards or the Schoklands.
So I'm very certain that the only way to get these arts of Schoklands is
to buy this box, and the only way to get these clue cards is
to buy this box set or get them as singles from Fusion Gaming online dot
com. It looks like pre release event starting February two for murders at Karlov
Manor well that's next weekend. Yeah, and February twenty three. That doesn't
make any sense. Hey, Clue addition release on February twenty three. Well,
I guess if it's a different product, Yeah, then it comes out
on a different day. It makes sense that this could come out sooner.
Okay, Well, just just because we're sort of on the topic, I've
got and and we'll talk about this more when we do our not set review.
One more thing I want to say about this product that I really enjoy
and I'm sure everybody's gonna love hearing this. If you have a Clue game
already, get a freaking clue you could just use them to play this very
shut up Brendle wats he's gonna put one of those crooks into our screen play?
Yeah right, I think that's fucking cool, man, Like they gave
it to us, Like it's almost like when they tried to to stop regular
people from making Dungeons and Dragons modules because they wanted more more money. Yes,
they're doing like a little bit of a one eighty here where it's like
they invent their own game and then give it to us for free if we've
already bought their game. That's pretty cool. It's like DLC. You know
what I'm to pay for, no man. So yeah, because these are
all just game pieces that aren't actually involved with the game that comes in that
box. Because you know what I'm gonna do with this. I'm gonna play
all of these guys in decks lead pipes going into deck so I can kill
Max Crindell with it. Yes, obviously, I'm gonna play these rooms because
they look neat, and I'm gonna take the cards out of my Clue game
and I'm gonna bring those along and that's what we're gonna play with. It's
gonna be awesome. You know what. Those those lands that say four tap
investigate are very reminiscent of the ETB tap for two color lands that say four
tap scry one. Yeah, the the campuses or something from Strixhaven. Sure
remember the lands though, I play one in my Cascade deck because that deck
has a lot of when you scry triggers and it cares about cascades, so
fucking scry is important. There we go. I might play one, maybe
two of those, however many I can afford in my ar command right deck.
But with that new advisor, that says, when you sacrifice a treasure
or an artifact, you guys can't be blocked. That's frick. I was
just talking about Gank and f U Jesse when I was gaining like eight life
a turn two times yep, and then just smashing them for like twenty power
creatures each time. He's like, what does this deck even do? Just
flattened? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The lips are on the
ground, yo. Yeah, his lips stuck to the wall behind his head.
They should get blasted through his face. I've got okay. So,
speaking of universes beyond, we're talking special guests, Yes, special guests.
We'll talk about these a little bit more, maybe where you get them when
we do. Are not set review, but these don't come in anything to
do with the clue set correct. Oh, these show up in Collector.
But I think regular boosters too, the new the noosters, if you will,
because there aren't set or draft boosters anymore. There's only play boosters,
plosters, Nope, noosters way better. Yeah, and then these come for
sure and collect and I'm I don't know if this is all of them?
Is this all of them? It doesn't say it's the full preview. It's
just special guest previews. And because there's only one rare, well, they're
all rare. No, they're not. They all have a mythic sets.
Yeah, victimizes an uncommon tireless tracker. That's a rare tragic slip, is
an uncommon ghostly prison is an uncommon show and tells a rare tragic slip common
man that card, that card's freaking good, may feel the Dead's a rare
gamble. I guess it's a rare fabricate's and uncommon drowning the locks and uncommon
crashing footfalls. I don't even know what that does, and I don't care.
It makes rhinos. It's you suspended. I think this is the buy
a box too. I think you just get a crashing footfalls for buying a
box. Do you do people play that card? I think it was in
a format, a format that people played. There's formats that aren't commander,
That's what I've been told. I guess there's some what did I call it
clube clube? I guess club Billy. Do you what do you think of
these? The selection I think was sub average. I'm not gonna lie no.
I think the selection is fine. I think that the art on all
of them looks fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of art like the art
in Show and Tell, Show and Tell fuck where it shows people's hands and
faces and stuff. I like that he has a frog. I think the
art is great. I just don't like that kind of art on magic cards.
The election's fine. I don't know like Field of the Dead is neat?
Was anybody screaming for a ghostly prison? Like fabricate, Tireless Tracker,
Tragic Slip, Field of the Dead and Gamble, We're all just in secret
layers. That guy in ghostly Prison kind of looks like he's having a good
time. He kind of doesn't look scared. He looks like he's partying with
those ghosts. I think he's scared out of his mind. Dude, he's
having a terrible time on all those ghosts are Hey, look he's smiling and
laughing. I don't think he is. Man, it looks like he's smiling
and laughing. Is that you with your glasses off? I feel like maybe
you should wear glasses now. I think he's like, I think that somebody
just told a really funny joke, or he just told a dad joke and
is hoping that these ghosts don't beat him up, in which case he would
be scared. But maybe they're just pretending to beat him up and they're all
friends. No, they're not friends. Oh, that guy's gonna just get
warmped because he couldn't pay the two. I like the art on all of
them. I guess we're just fucking talking about them. My favorite one is
Victimized. Victimized is the best, yes, because I play that card like
three decks too, so I want that the gamble looks like the Oh.
The fact that that lady isn't hanging upside down is the biggest outrage of this
whole set. I think they mounted the card art on the card upside down.
I think she is hanging upside down because the pedestal that the thing is
sitting on is on the ball. Ah frick, you know it's magic,
it's floating there. Then she's stealing a light bulb. It's a magic light
bulb. These are never my thing because I paint my own full art stuff.
But can I get these in foil Yep, that's gambled look pretty good
in foil. Got I got a bunch of gambles. I have so many
different cool gambles. The ghostly prison guy laughing would look good, and foil
that would look very good, and foil the victimized will look cool, and
foil the crashing footfalls will look cool. Do people play drowned in the lock?
Was? Was that a card in Modern or Pioneer or something? I
think it was. Yeah, they gotta have something for those. Does people
play show and tell anymore? I think people play show and tell and commander
all the time. They're definitely playing legacy. It's one of the best decks.
Nobody don't tell. Nobody's show and telled me in a long time.
Whatever frick do you got show and tells? Of course I do. Put
them in your decks. Shon't tell yourself, just not in public. But
my only deck that plays the Big Show and Tell creatures is the Big show
Man. You've made a Hull Colgan reference yesterday, Big Show Tell today,
I'm doing it. I'm kicking too. If you're smell what the Big Show
is cooking, nobody ever wanted what the Big Show was cooking. I don't
want to smell anything about the Big show Man. There's a man there,
man damn it. I just saw a whole bunch of new previews and real
quick, back to Clue Baby, Back to Clue, because that's what we're
actually talking about. Em Sarh Green is the best one. Is there any
like legitimate reprints in here that you're excited about? I don't think, so
I don't count as judgment. I'm going through real quick because I only looked
at the new cards and didn't think, because it was like a pre made
thing, that there would be very many good reprints. Well, then all
the rares, most of the rares is a stunt double that's actually pretty good.
That's a clone with flash yep, that's a that's a not bad one
man riveting, riveting entertainment on Spawn of Mayhem. It's a mythic. Oh
wow, there's a lightning Bolt. That's fine. Fine, that's a good
card that exists. Yes, people need lightning Bolt in sealed environments apparently.
Storm blood Berserkers another good one in the limited environment. Beast Whisperers a card
people seem to like. Colossal Whisper is a card. Yep. Colossal Majesty
is sort of a card. It used to be at least fire Spout used
to be a card, but not anymore. Hydroid Crassis Supreme Verdict. Yeah,
well that's good one both of the good one of any of the tenth
pounder realm leech lch a full complement of signets. It's okay, there's okay,
s'mat right. Stuff is the Karoo Lands or whatever, and then the
Thriving Land. So there's some decent stuff and some of the new things are
fun. I don't think there's anything that's pumping anybody's nads except the buck.
I've seen lots of people happy about Amzu. The three to Amzu swarms Hunger.
It's a three three insect Shawman for black, green, three flying menace.
Other insects you control have menace. Whenever one or more cards leave your
graveyard, you create a one to one black and green insect creature token and
put a number of plus one plus one counters on it equal to the greatest
man of value among those cards. Do it wants to turn? Oh so
that's fine. That's a little sucky. But I've heard some stuff about Conclave
Evangelist because it's an elephant, and that's kind of a creature type that people
want to see more, especially since Strixhaven and all of our trips to Ravnica
has given us just a glimpse into elephant life and culture. They're all either
archaeologists or work for a church. I guess this is a four to four
for five. So Lesnie Harbard s Lesnie Hybrid three. It's got myriad.
So when it attacks, you make a copy for each other opponent that it's
not attacking, and they're put into play tapped an attacking sacrament in a turn.
Okay, so whenever Conclave Evangelist deals combat damage to a player, create
a token that's a copy of Conclave Evangelist, so it replaces the one that
you're going to sacrifice with another one, and that one has period. So
they eventually are doing the Jehovah's witness thing and trying to fricking recruit more people
to come to their No, Jehovah's don't specifically do that. Now, that's
what they're trying. They're doing the thing the church does, trying to buy
their way into heaven with souls that come to church and give the church freaking
money. I know how it works. Yeah, we've all been there.
Yeah, Yeah, we've all been there. So those I think those are
the kind of big ones. If there's other ones that you're excited about,
let us know in the comments. There's a new there's another Lavinia, shiny
good Lavinia, the tenth oh foil of Conspiracy. Yeah, that is actually
not about and that's a two to three for Zoria's Zorius one vigilance. Never
you cast or second spell each turn, investigate tap ad colorless colorless actively only
during an opponent's turn. Sure, so you can make clues and sack them
on. Yeah, there's a Lonelus. Not even gonna read it because I'm
going straight to f you. Aiden and editor Tyler's Marquis card in the set,
Harold of ill Harg. That's a bore. It's a bore, and
Aiden's got the uh the Gruel board deck. Have you played against it?
I have played another two color Aiden draft Chaff special and of course HiT's a
pig. So Tyler likes it. Yeah, okay, three three for gruel
and two trample whenever. Whenever you creature spell, put two plus one plus
one counters on Harold of ill Harg. If that spell has a man of
value of five or greater, Harold of ill Harg deals damage equal to the
number of counters on it to each opponent. That's pretty good. That card's
actually good. That's that's yeah. Yeah, I hope I open one of
those. I'd play that problem and look at he's got little stripes on them.
He's the He's my favorite animal to look at at the Calgary Zoo.
It's this kind of pig. It's an African river hog or something. Yeah,
they're really cool and they look like little watermelons when they're babies. Yeah,
because they got the stripes. Yeah, I like that. Lots yep,
well, lots of good cards. If when we do our Ravnka thing,
I'll pull these up and go to new printings for the Clue product and
we'll review those as well. We'll get some new stuff. Because even if
you don't spend the seventy or one hundred or whatever this product costs, these
will get opened, especially if they're just jumpstart things that people don't want as
much, or if like fusions and retailers crack these to get the clue people
and the artifacts so people can own these, they're gonna have the jumpstart product
also opened, so the new cards will be available through the singles secondary market,
right I'm pretty bummed, Okay, pretty I mean I'm gonna have all
these, but I'm hoping other people do too. And I hope that people
either bring their own clue cards or buy these and then bring them and play
with them, because I think that it's gonna be kind of fun. I'm
looking forward to it. I think it'll it'll add a new spice to some
games. Is that the way did you cover the thing that made you sad?
Yes, it was the fact that it's jump start. Oh what then
they repurpose to kind of Yeah, that was the camp. That was the
emotional sandwich. Yes, was we got at the end where they actually took
the thing that isn't good and made it good. And how did they do
it? By just giving us some cool stuff? Sometimes we just need cool
stuff. Yeah, sometimes instead of getting random trash, if you give us
something that we know we want, we'll take the trash with it. It's
like when you put the when I put the pile of chaff down at the
LGS and people say, hey, can I look at that? And I
say, if you touch it, you have to take the whole pile home.
You touch it, you own it. That's the game. They take
the one uncommon that they want it, but they have to take the rest
of the junk too. That's what this is. I want me an emissary
green. I'll take the rest of the stuff to get it cool. You
know what I want. This is what I want. Sometimes we just want
cool stuff. Yeah, and I want this for you as much as I
want it for me. Oh, because I got a vehicle deck. Yeah.
I want them to do Transformers again and not do them dirty man,
because come on, do you play any of those? Not a one?
Never even considered it? Seriously, frick, give us some give us some
transformers that are good. Yeah, do it right? Wat see they did.
And this is a little teaser for maybe next week. I think next
week because we've done a deck tech. We don't have the full set yet,
but by next week episode four seventeen, we will have the entire Ravnka
Clue special guests freakin' uh murders at karlov manor We're gonna do the not set
review. We're gonna look at legendary creatures, We're gonna look at the cards
proper. We're gonna talk about something that they did that we predicted, and
you know how Ryan and Brando predictions go is is we we predict something in
the past and when it eventually comes to fruition, we take full credit for
it. And this one is different because not only is it a very cool
thing, but it's a hyper specific thing that maybe it's a part of the
culture that is this and I think that it very much is. We hit
it so bad on fucking right bang on the nose. I expected check.
We were so close. I expected check in the mail, WATSI. And
when we predicted it was long enough ago that it could have been worked into
the products that we're seeing now. That's what I'm gonna go back and find
when it is, because there's you watch the employer right and they're writing her
an NDA right now, they're sending us a check with an dyagaming. Oh
my god, Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
These guys know what. Oh shit, Because you brought it up and it
was long enough ago that I didn't even remember. And I thought of other
things that we did either after that, maybe on the same video, and
I'm like, you know, you're right, And the more I thought about
it, I was like, I remember that, ye, And it's so
specific so I'm very that's a little teaser. That's a little final thought for
me teaser. That Uncle Brando freaking remembered something that I didn't me Brando.
