Hey, listen to Commandic Cook Podcast, episode four thirty eight. I'm brand
home here with Brian and we're gonna jump on the moudiy Ho ho Ho train
by talking about commanding Ho Ho Ho three Now are theme. So, hey,
Ryan, we're back for yet another whirlwind adventure. How you do it?
Good? What is going down? The whole ton is going down.
We're back aboard the hype train for the summer super duper excitement set. If
you're watching on YouTube, which you should be, you'll see what excitement means
to me. Yes, but this is more accurate, really right, No,
this is this is this is give me some, that's give me all.
This is all of it. Yeah, that's what they want. Yeah,
yeah, the whole whole train. That's Maudi whole Ho Ho three hose
because it's modern Horizons three modern, it's modern horizons y right man, In
that it is the most modern set time released. Modern must be what they
mean modern red new. I like that. Before we explain when any of
that means, you got some stories to tell, some people to thank.
Before we get to any of that stuff, cool, we have to thank
our official business Daddy's Fusion Gaming Online dot Com. They are your source for
all your gaming needs and pile the bones brewing code. They're the second coolest
thing out of Regina and the official beer sponsor for c CEO Sidewalk Slam Season
two. Right here on YouTube, oh Man lots to unpack their first thing.
I'm gonna do because on the TV screen on YouTube it says Fusion Gaming
use code CCO save now Fusion Gaming Online dot com. Right, you're gonna
go there. You're gonna get some Madi Ho ho three abs art. They
are what as they are art, they are. Yes, you're gonna get
a discount when you use that code. What gonna get a discount? And
trust me, you're gonna need it. Man. Discount means I spend less
money, yes, sir, So I'm going there to buy stuff anyway,
Yes, sir, spend less on it? Yep, holy shit. Yeah,
very good. And if you're a first time customer, big thanks to
all the new subs. If you're if you've never ever seen or heard of
CEO Perks promo code, that one's going on too. When you spend over
one hundred bucks, like a hundred bucks Canadians, so like you buy one
Modern Horizons three pre con We're gonna talk about that next week when we'll look
at the rest of the set. But you can buy one of them and
use CEO Perks promo code and you're gonna get ten percent store credit kickback.
Yeah, which is super cool because then you got that store credit that you
can use CEO Save promo code on. The Only thing I'm gonna say about
that is is we're into quarter two now or sorry, quarter three June started
and the big boss man in like the Super High Tower, sitting on his
mountain of money scrowge mcdawc. Yes, might want us to change the promo
code, so we'll have to come up with something clever to change it to
instead of CEO Perks, instead of CEO Safe. We just changed it.
Hey, I don't make the rules. Man, just changed it. We
literally just changed I'm not going to say anything until they ask us to,
so I've only used it sixteen to Oh Uncle Brando's leading from the front wall.
Oh yeah, man, Well, as things are spoiled, like,
I got to make sure that I pre order all the stuff I need from
then you see a new card, you hit order because you know I'm not
going to open it. That's ridiculous. So I order like if I if
I want it for Nora in or something, and there's some there's some Norn
cards in this set. Let me tell you. I got to pre order
that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I make a few of
them and then they have mercy on me and they put them all in one
really fat envelope, but they put all of the individual order slips hold it
around. So when I get them, there's like all the orders are in
one, like you need like a forklift and stuff to get it delivered.
It's pretty fun. So we're going to talk about modern Horizons three Commanders today.
We're gonna try and do all of them. There's only thirty two weeks
probably do it. But all of them, like are so many goddamn words
and decently interesting. There's a bunch that I'm actually interested in talking about.
And there's a few that I even want to play like in my ninety nines.
There's a couple of those, and I want to get your take on
it. But and we've been trying to like mix in the podcast business.
But we've got to do some at the front today. Yes, we've gotta
do some at the front because I want to kick off with a couple of
new patrons. We got new patrons that said that they like like they got
these pseudonyms, these screen names. What the hell is that Almo? And
they need a CEO nickname. It's one of the benefits. Now. Normally
we give people real names when they have their own nickname, but these are
like, these are real nicknames. I assume this is what people call them
in their real lives at work, especially this first one. Okay for sure.
If you want a CECEO nickname, you go to patreon dot com slash
ceo podcast. You sign up, you find the you find like the category
that gives you the nickname. Every category gives you discord access, so when
you get your nickname, you can change it in the discord. Then everybody
knows who the hell you are. Yes, first one, and this is
this is probably what this guy gets called that work. Definitely a name.
Maybe his wife calls him this. I don't know which part of it's worse.
If your wife's calling you this idiotic have acar? Where do you come
up with this stuff? What part of him looks like an avocado? I
assume it's his head. It's not what I was thinking, maybe he has
really just and no shame. Maybe he has really bad skin. Maybe he
got a wrinkly old right, like he just doesn't take care of himself.
He has like weird lizard skin. Can we change his name to wrinkly lizard
skin or something. I wanted to throw the word guawk in there. Someone
guawk box, lizard guawk guawk Oh man, I like walkbox. There is
a word that rhymes with guawk, But I'm not gonna throw it into a
nickname because I feel like, given that he's called idiotic avocado in his real
life, being called guawkcock probably isn't gonna be the thing that makes his life
better. I said it out loud, didn't I. His nickname is now
guawkcock. That's that's it. Yeah, welcome aboard, And I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm not actually sorry. I feel no pity. Oh no,
I feel I feel really good. That's a goodbye. That was thank you?
I like thank you. Okay, Next one headless joker. Now I
could make some headless jokes, but I'm not sure that I want that to
happen to anybody. That's also the truth. Do you think he means joker
like the playing card or joke like the Batman villain. Oh ah, what
must be the playing card? Can I change joker to choker? Headless choker?
There's no kink shaming in the Nation headless choker. If he's not choking
something with a head, what is he choking? Oh no, we're talking
about different things. What m hm okay, Producer Gary's laughing in there.
I don't he's thinking about choking his see I don't even know what we're talking
about it anyway, this is insane. This doesn't make sense. Okay.
So a couple of little bits of thing here. We've got a new show
that's in development on CCO. What. Yes, Remember I told you we
were talking about the name and we were trying to like make the name not
sound like a crime. Oh yeah, yes, yeah. So one of
the things that our good friend Patreon supporter Discord regular Jenny McCarthy's brother is putting
together, I guess, like a mini sidewalk slam okay with patreons, with
patron people, and he's organizing it in the Discord. And what it is
is Commander gameplay with the CEO Patrons or CECO Nation as we call them.
Yeah, and it's all gonna be vedh games, and they're kind of gonna
be like mini sidewalk slams because everybody's friends, and they're gonna be cut down
to like twenty twenty five minute games, just like Bang Bang Bang Bank Bank,
like card card card card, card card, and like the finishing play,
the play of the game, the combo whatever it is that wins the
game, and it's gonna be like all of our friends neat. Yeah,
super cool. So we don't have a launch date yet, though I'm thinking
Jenny McCarthy's brother, you and I we were talking about like sidewalk slam,
sidewalk pickup games. Tea Coats actually came up with CEO's curb side pay There
it is that one, and we can call it like the Patreon pickup games.
It could be like Ppo, which sounds dirty, Yes it does.
It really does. So Ppo curb side pick Up with the CEO patrons.
Super fun. Watch for it on our socials and and like the YouTube channel
and stuff, because I think it's gonna be cool. Tea Coats is given
uh is given Colton some some like some editing advice. He's got all the
cards on there. It looks really good. Who's Colton Jenny McCarthy's brother.
Ah see the nickname? Yes, the nickname? You need them? We
need them, Yes, we do, we need them. So final thing
that? Oh? No, second final thing? What I have a bone
pick with you? I didn't. I didn't even ask you this before we
started recording. Nothing. It's what you're gonna do. Okay. You told
me you have a gimmick for your booster box opening of my Ho Ho ho.
Yes, any any previews, any any teasers? No, I'm not
telling you shit. You have to watch. How would you rate it between
one and in a cowboy? Where does it fall on the skin between one
and cowboy hat? I'm gonna say, like, I don't know. It's
a solid like seven point nine oom on my way to eight point three.
I think people are really gonna like it. Okay, good. So you've
got a booster box of like a collector box. Do they have collector But
they do have collector boxes. I did secure one for myself, Oh and
believe me, it was not easy and it took me a lot of store
credit and finagling, but I did. I did get one. Yes,
I am gonna open it with everybody on the BBO and the c COOYTC coming
up. I guess next week. Yeah, it'll be like a Friday or
whatever. They usually drop Friday, so I'll get it on Friday at three.
I'll have it opened on Friday by three forty five video after you at
five, and it'll be out sometime after that, depending on when I stopped
crying. Yes, yes, yes, Like it looks like I'm having fun.
But afterwards, I like, oh my god, are you gonna throw
any cards? Do you know? Uncle? Have you ever watched the BBO
on the ccoy T. I have, Like, come on now, there
will be cards thrown for sure. And I do want to just remind everybody
who's listening that if you want to go, like if you're in the Land
of the Free, but you want Branda to open them, or you want
to get the discount with the CCO save discount from Fusion on your booster box,
because that's gonna be like a significant amount of money off. Yeah.
Right, you can get the cards sent to brand out and he can do
another BBO with him and then he'll like sort him or whatever and send him
off to you. Yeah, so do that because that that's gonna save Brando
from getting pounded, and because it's not his box, it might actually be
not terrible. What would it mean if I opened a good box for somebody?
Like? What would that do to the show? Psychologically? To you?
To me? Like? Oh you would just cry? What does that
feel like? I wanted to like, what does it feel like to open
a box and just see good cards falling? What does that? What does
it feel like? I don't know, Jeff, you Jesse and I opened
up a box of WORLDWEK One Time, right, and we split it so
we both got like eighteen packs or whatever. The two chase cards were Jason
meind Sculptor and a Bissele Persecutor. Right, I opened both of them.
He opened neither of them. That felt pretty good, but mostly because it
was Jesse, though, yes, yeah, not not because those are awesome.
Well, I mean, Jason mind Sculptor Graced of all time probably,
but but uh, Thebisto Persecutor is a card I don't think anybody's ever thought
about. No, since I did Worldwike, I did almost lose to that
card, and then I thought, oh no, I can't actually can't,
okay, So last thing, last thing I I'm working on a thing that
I can't talk about yet because it's not deep enough into development yet. It's
not d d O yet, deep enough into development that's de EO. But
it rhymes with schmick schmarter. Yeah, just just puzzle it out. People
are people are gonna know and when when Sometimes when you do a thing that
rhymes with schmick smarter, you need a little bit of like startup capital.
And I'm not looking for investment there or like like people to donate. But
what I do have if you want to help with some like startup capital,
is go to comanticooad dot com. Check out the store because we've got the
new merch there. You've got stickers and merchant shirts, and we've got the
shirts stuff. I've got new hats with a teal leather patch. I've got
not the one I'm wearing, but I've got the summer hats with the scrollly
text and the camel bills. We've got the new T shirts. We've got
tokens, we got the new stickers, we got lots of dice left,
we got the CEO pins left. Only a couple of those though. Yeah,
those people like those, I like them too. So if you want
to help out with the rhymes with Schmick, smarter commandiccocoad dot com, slash
store, and you can. You can help make it a reality because we're
working on some cool stuff. I showed Uncle BROWNO. He thinks it's cool.
It's neat. Yeah, I have some. I'm I'm even gonna add
some tweaks. Oh yeah, there was the one tweak I told you about.
That's very important. That's important to people. I don't remember what the
twee kids card. I can't tell you. I can't tell you on the
thing because that'll blow the surprise. But I'm telling you people want what I
said, Okay, very important, Yes, and I'll take note of it
because I already don't remember. This is what it feels like to me.
You yes, Oh you don't open up good cards. No, I'm not
at all. Yeah, that doesn't worry. If you're me and I'm you,
then you would open bad cards and I would open no cards, and
then the world ceased to make sense. I feel. Yes, seeing you
open cards is like watching a fish ride a bike. Yeah, just you
just never see it. You know what I really love? And this is
the last thing before we get to the thirty New thirty New two Commanders.
Right. The thing I love is watching people open booster packs, like in
real life, like when we go to the Coachman licensed beverage room after d
H and M, or like after a command fest or a magic con or
whatever, and we just slam M twenty one and just open up booster packs.
And when somebody gets a cool pull or like a nostalgic card, or
like a like a Chase money rare, that's just the best, and the
spilled beer on it, it's just dope. Yeah, use it as a
napkin. Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's find out which of these cards
we're gonna use as a napkin. I would use most of these as a
napkin rather than play them, but some of them I will also play.
This first one probably gonna end up being a napkin, though it is mythic.
Nearly all of them are mythic. Hey, yeah, lots of them
are mythics. Okay, a Johnny Nakadal Pariah to man a commander before we
get into this, because he this is like the Jenny before he was a
Janny, a Johnny, I guess before he was a Yeah. When he
was a dude. And there's a whole bunch of characters in here that have
like mashed together or are dead. So is this have they just acts the
magic storyline completely? I think that the horizon sets don't fall into the storyline,
like think of modern horizons one where we got Erza and Yogmath. Those
guys existed like thousands of years apart in the story. Okay, yeah,
yeah, so these just these are just like character individual things like. Okay,
So Johnny Naicoato Praia is a one two cat warrior for White one two
man of Commander and these flip walkers these this guy's gonna flip into a planes
walker. Yeah, they're one and two mana. That's like really good,
that's solid. Okay. So he enters a battlefield with a two to one
cat Warrior creature token. So you're getting three power three toughness for two mana.
It's pretty good. And here's the story. It's him and his brother,
Him and his brother Jasol man Jizol is way stronger than a Johnny in
card form. Whenever one or more other cats you control die aka Jasol because
he dies, and that's what ignites Johnny spark. Did you know what I
did? Yeah, it's be like, if you die, I turned into
a plane walker. What if you die, you probably just forget. I'd
show up and gonna be like a garbage bag with like your hat on it,
stuffed with old coffees and magazines, and I just look over and talk
to you, and you gotta like wrap our arms up with rope so I
can move. The producer Gary has me dead, me sitting on his lap,
and he's like moving and he just goes yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. He pretends to drink, so then he flips over into a planes
walker that cares about cats. And then it's ultimate ability. Just fucks somebody,
yes minus four. Each opponent chooses an artifact, a creature, an
enchantment, and a planes walker from among the things they control, and then
sacrifices the rest. Oh that's some there's that's a card. That's a card.
Uh frick, it's probably on the screen. Editor, Joe, he's
pretty good at finding what the card is. Editor is good at that stuff.
Final final something or choice of not. It's not choice of death,
no no, but it's a white card. It's like white, white,
white, white two and it like gets all things. It's like from in
straw or something. Sure, anyways, that's a Johnny. He's he's good,
He's gonna go in cat dex. He'd be better if he was green
and white. Oh, I know that he's I know that the Johnny is
red and white in his cards. But if he was green and white,
I feel like he would find a home in more like casual cat decks.
Oh you know what though, because that's what was cat dex. This is
borosa Johnny. He flips into red white. This is when he's vengeance.
He's trying to get vengeance for his brother getting killed, and a Johnny vengeance
was like the card that was really good out of like a Laura block for
a while, remember ye killed all that lambs. And then after he's like,
okay, cool, I'm like Zen and Johnny. Now he's got a
like AA meetings and stuff and aggression anonymous, yes, a Johnny aggression anonymous
AAA meetings. And now he's like green white and Johnny and he's like,
chill, here have a guy who's power and toughness. Recal to your life
too, That's what he says. Yeah, gain one hundred life. Yeah,
and still lose right, like I gain one hundred life sick bro,
We'll hit you for two hundred. Welcome to Commander Yep okay, Arna callen
Rude Sky Captain Man. When I was reading this, I was like,
this card can just this car can fuck all the way off? This is
this is the this is the what's what's red? White? Black? What
is that again? Mar this is the Mardo one but with blue instead of
red, right, Sir Gwynn sort of sort of it's a night and it's
got two of the same colors, and it cares about enchantments and artifacts and
equipments and shit doesn't give it a read it Okay, So it's a four
to four for Esper and two. Yeah, flying life length is pretty good
ward because of course everything has word. Now discard a card, sure Jesus.
So whenever a modified creature you attacks. A modified creature is a creature
that has an enchantment or an equipment or a counter on it. Attacks on
that creature, you double the number of counters if you have counters, and
for each non token equipment or aura that's attached to it, you get a
token that's a copy of it attached to it. It's attached to it.
Jesus Christ, that card's gonna slap. That's insane. That's insane. Kind
of gives me, uh, Bruna light of alabaster vibes. You know,
when she attacks, you'd get like all three oras or all ours equipments from
your graveyard hand and ship, yeah, and attached to her. Yes.
What if you had a case like Bruna could go on an arn A deck
and you get like a double of all of that, that's pretty frickin good.
I mean, why not right like that? I mean for all those
equipment decks that are in modern right, I mean the equipment deck in modern
that's esper colors is definitely gonna run this and just roll over people with like
batter skulls and shadow spears. Batter legendary shadow spear is what else is it?
Any sword? Any sword there and then keep it any number of plus
one plus on counters. Keep in mind that the that the equipments that are
tokens still have all the abilities, So you could take like your token copy
of sort of Feast and Famine and put it on a different creature too,
So like this thing, Yeah, this card's gonna beat the living ship out
of people. You know what you could do on here and there's gonna be
jack shit. You can do all that glitters on here is gonna like make
your guy huge. Yeah, okay, next one like this one, Next
one, Ashling flame Dancer. This is the hint from the pre show yesterday.
Say it right, Ryan, there we go, flame Dancer. Yes,
Elemental Shaman four four for Red Red two. You don't lose unspent manna
as steps and phases end. That's the phase. The phrase that's you I
like, that's the part I like. The one that I like is whenever
you cast or copy an instant or sorcery discard a card than draw card.
That's fine. If this is the second time this ability has resolved, this
turn Asling deals to damage to each opponent and each creature they control, because
it needed all of those frickin' words. If it's the third time, add
Red Red red Red Yeah, yeah, and don't lose unspent manna as steps
and phases ended. That's every buddies, not just yours. Right, So
if you're gaining red mana on other people's turns, you get to keep it,
right, I think. So this turn is different than step and phase.
But no, because when when your final thing ends in your turn ends,
it's just somebody else's turn starts, and that turn is full of steps
and phases. Oh sweet, it doesn't say you don't lose unspent manna as
your steps and phases end. Oh there we go. That's thought. Yeah,
okay, so bright a fire and then you play a bunch of instant
sorce reason do damage, yeah, or you play it with the taneb the
guy that gets mana equal to damage delt in your post combat. Essentially,
this is potential commander number three or four in the mono Red Burgie taneb Assling
Dot deck where you're trying to do the big things the double damages. It's
a burn deck commander, right, yep. And it's gonna be cool.
And she looks super sweet in the Andy Warhol profile treatment. Oh yeah,
I'm very excited for that. I wonder if editor Joe can have that up
on the screen for I'm sure he can. He's a pretty good He's yeah,
he's he's pretty good. Oh yeah with the pink background. Yeah,
I like that lot. I like these this we'll talk about more next week,
but I really like this crop of profiles. I think there they learned
from last time, and they're they're really nice, they're really really cool.
I still say, I still say, from collector number left to right,
top to bottom, like on nine cards at a time, three by three,
it should have been a gradient. It should have been. But you
know, maybe next next time they'll learn. Eventually they'll take our ideas and
then give us any credit for them, like you always do. Okay,
x lax x lax as lax. The swelling Scourge, Oh, I got
a swelling ass. That's what I call little brandos sometimes, the swelling scourge,
this prolapse, the swelling scourge, that's what I call him. Look
out. Okay, let's read what he does. He's a two to two
for three, all colorless. Whenever ass crack the swelling Scourge or another colorless
creature you control, eat shit you get an experience counter or creatures you control
get plus x plus x in clent of turn, where x is the number
of experienced counters you have and spawns and scions you control. Those like the
el Drawsi creature tokens that sack for a manta get annihilator one and indestructible until
end of turn. And remember annihilator is an attack trigger. So even with
your scions, no, your spawns are zero ones, they each of them
will trigger on attack and make your opponent sacrifice a permanent But they're gonna be
big too, like because of all your experience counters, because you're obviously probably
gonna play this in a scion. And what's the other one spawn deck?
Yes, and every time you sack one, you get a counter. You
mean the five color al DRAWSI deck. Now, yeah, you know what's
you know what's actually funny is when we went back to Zenda Car like Zendecar
Rising or whatever, and we got all of the El Drazi scions, the
one one versions. Yeah, that's when we saw devoid where colored cards are
actually colorless, and that's where we saw a lot of colored cards produce El
Drazzi scions. Yeah. So all of those eighteen cent cards, when they're
even in foil, yeah, are going to go into this deck. And
this is from the pre con, So you're gonna get this guy as like,
I think this is the backup commander for the pre Con. Yes,
so that's probably a good start. The only thing I would say about that
is long is as long as you have the excitement in your wallet, right,
or that you don't want in your wallet. Yeah, if you're okay
with excitement leaving your wallet and you or you have the cards to build a
five color Manna base, I think you could get ass Crack the Swelling Scourge
and just like spend nine cents to get all those El Drazzi Sion cards and
then that deck, and that's the deck. You don't need to spend one
hundred dollars on the pre con to get one card that you're gonna end up
playing. Correct. You could just get them like eight cents at a time.
Yes, And there's a few cards in there that you probably want.
But I think the big ones that you're gonna want to pick if you're thinking
about building this guy now are Emergence Zone and Awakening Zone. Those ones are
probably going to see a little bit of an uptick. Those are the ones
that give you a sign or respondering each up key. Correct. Yeah,
and those weren't I don't think those were in the pre con and they were
already a few bucks to start yeap. So those are probably going to see
an uptick now because they're so good in this deck. Yeah, Okay,
this one. I don't know about this one. I'm I'm totally medium kate
famed machinist. What I will say looks gull bang exactly like my grandma mother
ass grandmother ass three three dwarf artificer. My grandma's even short white, red
blue one dwarf artificer. Fabricate one. When this creature enters a battlefield,
put a plus one counter on it, or create a one to one colorless
artifact creature token. Yeah, other non token creatures you control have fabricate one.
Cool, So everything's going to be bigger or everything comes into play with
a token. Correct. So that's the deck, right, it's a token
deck, yeah, because nobody's doing Jeskuy plus one counters, are they?
I don't think? Probably not. Also to tap, choose one, populate,
or proliferate. I guess whatever you choose, you can do. Yes,
I'm very excited again to see the jes Skuy token deck really get a
great piece for modern I'm really excited for those people in the sixty card formats
or they're just jamming Jess Guy tokens. I'm so excited that they finally have
a finisher like this, Yes, great, great call in modern horizons three
man, Hell yeah, baby, I bet you you can do a bunch
of stuff in jes Skuy artifact plus one counterdecks. Think of modular like,
think of affinity for artifacts like og Mirrit and stuff. Think of the stations,
all those cards that are just jam in every modern dad, Yeah,
fucking crazy. Yeah, I can't believe they're topsy turvy in a format like
this, Ryan, I can't believe it. I want to see some I
want to see some smash ups in modern That's what I want. I want
to see some populates and proliferates on mere enforcers in modern. Sure is that
even? Can you even play that card? Probably not, I don't care.
It says affinity for artifacts on it, so I assume you can't play
it in modern. But you can play cards that are way more broken in
modern. So I don't know. Let's move on from this one. Cram
the Undertaker. This is the backup commander in the cram the Undertaker into a
box or into your butt no kink shaving in the nation. Yes, he's
a zero five for juhnd N one Human war gets plus X plus overor X
is the greatest power among creatures cards in all graveyards, greatest power among creature
cards in all graveyards. So could be big, So he could be big.
Okay, I'll accept that. Whenever he attacks, each player mails a
card, he feeds his own power. Correct. Okay. And then once
per turn you may play one land and one creature from any graveyard. That
was Mill this turn. Ooh, ooh, ooh, Juhn Mill, June
Mill. Right, I thought you'd like that one. June Mill. He's
fine, He's he's fine. Yeah, I you know what I was.
I was gonna open my mouth to say I wish he had blue in him,
But now I don't Juhn Mill because Junde millep. That's it. Let's
go to the next one, well, junk Mill and Modern oy. Oh
yeah for sure. Oh, people are gonna be jumping for joy for that
shit, jumping for joy for jund Mill. Yeah, babe, jj old
podcast. Can you imagine if Junde Mill showed up at just the top all
the way to the bottom of the top, like sixteen modern decks at Worlds
or something. Can you imagine that? What don't we just look like?
Ask you know what it would be something where it's like jund Mill, but
it's got like dredge cards in it. Your milling yourself. Yeah, and
then it's actually a dredge deck, of which we'll see a commander for I'm
excited to see this guy because I think he's gonna be big. I want
to see jund Mill. It'll probably end up with the black and there being
self mill, or with the red in there. It'll be like the the
Rummage or Chaos Discard or whatever, or chaos straw where you're putting stuff in
your own graveyard, or you use your giant guy to use green to draw
fourteen cards. In the end of your turn, you discard down to hand
size. Also good, also milling yourself, yes, but yes, yeah,
just that's the long way. Now, let's talk about the next one.
Oh what if you mill a tarmagi and this guy gets a zero five.
You could do that with the next You could do that with the next
card. And the card that totally trivializes Once was a creature that defined modern
is Lisa the Restless. She is a five six for five, three of
which are John colors. Whenever a Luragoi Permanent card is put into your graveyard
from anywhere except play put it onto the battlefield, John mill Nate. Whenever
one or more creatures you control to combat damage to a player, create a
ptarmagi. Oh oh man, I traded one for a Force of Will once,
I said on the pre show, I traded a place set of tarmarglice
for sealed Commander Arsenal with the black or No with the gray tickdown life counter
and the Foil Command Tower and the Foil Calia the vast and to get this
Commander Arsenal exclusive sleeves never even use them. Maybe I should bust that out
for Lisa the Restless Deck. Oh, that would be such the irony and
the just all the holy universe coming together, and for the record of Tom
And then I'll lend it to Jewels. A tarma for those of us that
don't play Modern is a zero or a star starsh Star plus one. Creature
gets plus one plus one for each card type in graveyards, So plans,
walker, instance, sorcery, creature, enchantment, artifact, whatever, whatever,
whatever battle I guess now, what does it count? I think it's
a siege, siege whatever, whatever I think he can get up to,
like being eight nine or something. Yeah, yeah, and probably won't.
Eight nine for two is what he is, and for a long time in
modern and in legacy because Tomogefe was the scourge of Goblin decks and Murpholk decks
because Tomergiff went in the Zoo deck and the Zoo had like higher punch or
more power and toughness per mano cost, but it couldn't play blue anyways.
So Tarmargef was like the bane of legacy and modern for a long time because
generally he was a three four for two or a four or five for two
once you block with him once and then he just starts to pound after somebody
like tries to alpha and you block or like whatever. Right now, now
he's a piece of shit jump blocker. But his creature type is Lergoif correct,
and we don't have a Lergoif specific commander yet. And that's why this
one is actually kind of cool, oh yeah, because now you can play
all those other lurgoif Taravore, Morde, war Hands Run. It's a Lurgoif
is the alphabetically first card in all Magic databases, but it's from Unhinged.
You can't even play it, and it's the wrong colors. Yeah, see
it's it's horrific. Let's go to the next card Eladamory core coorvict del This
is another Waco. We're gonna read what it does and then everybody's gonna know
what you do with it. So it's a three three for Green Green one
Elf Warrior. You may look at the top card of your library anytime.
That's my favorite thing in magic. Yes, sir sick. You may play
creature cards on the top of your library. Even better than only being able
to look at it green tap tap two one tap creatures you control. You
may put a creature from the top of your library into play, or from
your hands or from top Yeah, even it's kind of it's Elvish Piper or
Sneak Attack, but Elvish Piper, Elvish that amulet that lets you put stuff
in it lets you play creatures for for fucking free. Yeah, that's it.
What do you do with that? You put in Creator hoof Behemoths and
kill everybody in your elf ball deck. Yeah, and this guy's in elf
and if you have the concordant Crossroads, because of course you do in your
elf ball deck, this guy and all the manadorcs that you're ripping across or
off the top of your library, like your Elvish Mystic and then your Thing
and your Elf and your Lanimore Elf. They're all just tapping to play the
next one down, play the next one down, play the next one down.
And then you make a token every time you play in Elf, because
of course you do. And then with all those Elf tokens, you create
hoof because you got this guy, and then you win. Yeah, so
awesome. That's that's what that does. That actually might see some play in
modern I think, but this will seem playing eage like crazy. Well,
for this card is gonna be put in every ELF deck. But you gotta
remember this is a modern set. Oh you gotta remember this is a modern
set. That one actually might be the first card we've talked about that actually
might get played in modern. Maybe maybe maybe now here's another card that you
might see played in modern, like for sure, right, this is definitely
made for modern, dude, definitely hot take, hot take. I don't
think this card is that good. I don't either, Okay, made for
modern from sure. I'm gonna cross my arms when I read it, do
it, and I'm gonna get people to tell me it's wrong in the YouTube
comments. Do it em We're cool the World anew cool twelve twelve for twelve
Gotta love that symmetry. Yeap, Yeah, I wish I could buy a
twelve back for twelve dollars, but I live in Canada. That'd be sick.
Legendary creature el drawsy when you cast this spell gain control of all creatures
target player controls. So it's a little bit insurrection y, but only for
one guy oh forever. Oh not just to let him turn. Oh that's
good. That's nice. I didn't think of that. That's good. I
didn't I didn't think of that. Okay, flying good cool. Protection from
spells and from permanence that were cast this turn so you can't o ring her
yep, and you can't flash in a chump block, right, yep,
that's good. Yep, yep. Okay. When Emmercool the World a New
leaves the battlefield, sacrifice all creature control owned, that's fine. They don't
get their creatures back, right and madness six colorless? Sure that makes it
like that feels non consequential. Yes, but if I can like draw on
discard or if I purposely build to make this a discard thing. I can
get my twelve twelve flyer for six manna. It's pretty good. That's good.
Yeah, of course it has to be in your hand to do that.
So if it's in your command zone, Oh yeah, this this is
the least command zone el Drasi ever. Yes, yeah, this one goes
into ninety nine. And for that reason, it's like, oh, it's
just a maybe see it or I won't see it. I'll see it once
per game. This isn't gonna be the el Drawsi I tutor for. Hey,
this isn't even gonna be the amor Cool I tutor for Yeah. Right,
that the other Emra cool is just kind of better than this one.
With the other other amor Cool. Well, band, yeah, band can't
even play that one. Can't play that one. Maybe they learned their lesson.
It's watz they don't learn. Well, let's go on to Gangkou Future
Shape or that card's fine, it's you'll el drossy Weaves will play her,
right, that's that's that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Gangku Future Weaver,
Shaper, Shaper whatever. I don't even know what this card does.
Non token permanent you control leaves the battlefield choose one that hasn't been chosen this
turn. Create a token that's a two to two fox with vig, and
then you can make moon folks and foxes and rats, and you can put
plus one plus one counters on creatures you control on each creature you control for
five. Is that good? No? If I have infinite manner, But
then I got infinite man, I can do anything. There's better things you
can do the different man. So essentially, like you play a fetch land,
your fetch line goes away, you get a dude plus your land.
Whenever another non token permanent. Oh yeah, so whenever you do anything,
yeah, like sacrifice anything, you get a guy. Yeah, so it's
neat. I think it's a cool card. You can get a maximum and
leave the battlefield so you can blink. Yeah, so oh okay, so
it's a it's a blank commander or it'll go in the blink deck. It's
fine. There's nothing wrong with this card. I'll bet you it will see
some modern play, shockingly enough, and I think it's a fine card.
In the ninety nine of an EH deck. This was going to be my
take, and it was gonna be like this was going to be the take
is Moonfolk players like all two of them yep, now have white in their
deck. And then I thought, oh, it's leave the battlefield so you
can do blink to get tokens. This was my next take. It's the
the Azorious Blink deck commander. But we already have sixteen of those. We
don't need any more. The Brogo, We've got Yorian, We've got Ganku.
That sounds kind of dirty, haint you? Yeah, yeah, I
don't know. Do you like having multiple commanders, same color identity do a
similar thing? No? It does it feel familiar? Does it feel boring?
Does it feel sucks? Boros attacky attacky, I'm sick of it.
Azorious blinky blinky, Yeah, blinky dinky. Can we say that? Yeah?
Yeah, simic doing semic stuff. We're even gonna hit one of those
later on. There's a cemic card that just a simic shit. I like
that one though. Eh yeah, if you like semic stuff, you like
that. Grist variation. We got a speed up man. Oh yeah.
Grist Voracious Larva is what like a one to two for green Yeah, with
death touch it or another creature comes into play. If you played it from
your graveyard, you can pay green and transform her, and then she makes
bug tokens and you mail and you get a death touch calendar. If you
mail a black card, then you can downtick her to kill an artifactor and
enchantment, and then you can minus some number of her to get a copy
of all of the creatures in your graveyard into play. Except they're one to
one bugs, right, correct? Yeah, but you can't remember somebody's name
that you just meant correct correct Forrick mother ass. That's like, okay,
here's the question and we'll move on. Kit. Do you play this grist
because it flips over into Gulgary or do you play the other grist as your
commander? I personally would play this one because I'm not gonna build insect the
deck, so I'd rather play this. And if you built insect the deck,
I would play the other one. Okay, but you could play both.
I could play both in the same deck. I would probably still use
this one, though. Man that back plains walker artistic. It's really cool.
That is freaking red made out of bugs? Yeah, man, made
out of bugs. Why is she one bug when she's little, but then
she's a bazillion bugs when she's big? I don't understand that. I don't
know that. That's all Philer Miller question. Yeah, he probably, he
probably knows. Okay. The first card that I'm going to put in a
ninety nine. I like this cartoon. Okay, I like this one too,
hair Aghast erupting null kite. Sure, yeah, whenever, whenever there's
some trope like erupting No no, no, like like a hell kite is
a dragon or or what's the other one? The muld drifter one, muld
drifter, it's null drifter. If it's el drawsy, it's null because it's
nothing, because it's no color. Anyways, el Drawsy Dragon, it's got.
It's a six six flying for nine. Yep. Seems bad. That's
why I'm gonna play it. But it's going to emerge six red red.
Yes. So you sacrifice a creature and then minus that creature's casting cost from
six red red Yes. So this could be very cheap. And when you
cast this spell, you may exile your hand if you do draw three.
Sure, so late game fills your hand back up. Each creature spell you
cast has emerge, the emerged cost equal to its mano cost. That's pretty
cool. I like that, yeah, so you can just cycle your guy
on the battlefield for the next guy, guy in the battlefield for the next
guy, because everybody has emerge and you're getting a huge discount. This is
going into the Lord of Tresserhorn because I want my guys to die. There
you go, because they suck. I do like those. I like that
lots emerge, as we all know. Also is just another way of saying
offering from Camagala, except as non specific. Instead of offering a snake or
a rat or a moonfolk, you just offer whatever the hell. Yeah,
el draws, don't care. Everything is nothing. Yep. Okay, m
scare iron Eater. I don't know why that's funny. It scares iron Beater
is a five to five for eight, so you know this is gonna be
good. He's gonna affinity for artifacts. Yeah, so he's a five to
five for two. When he comes into play, you draw x, lose
x, where x is half the number of artifacts you control, and then
he does something else. So draw three, lose three, five to five
for Two's let's just like maximize this because commander yes, yep, red three
sack an artifact bosh or fling equal to artifacts manacost that tells you what the
deck does, that tells you how to play the deck. I are we
ever going to see this in modern Ah? Well, those Bosh iron golum
decks are pretty good. Hey yeah wait, Bosh decks were a thing in
Commander for a long time. Yeah, and you know who else is a
thing in Commander? Tell me Bryan start Arm and this is very akin to
that. And I do play a lot of artifacts in my deck. Sure
I could switch my Bryan start Arm deck to I'm smear iron Beater and lose
on sidewalks line correct? Okay, yes, Yody Moogue ancient Yody, I'll
take that, Yodi mog agent. Sure whatever. Two four elemental for four,
two of which are simic enters a battlefield. Create a one to one
green forest dryad creature for each time you've cast your commander from the commands on
this game. Neat, so you get a dry ad arbor. Yeah,
okay, at the beginning of combat, each each combat land creatures you control
get plus x plus x where x is Yodi's power. Is this going to
go in your lands deck? No? No, it's not a land.
Is it going to go in other people's lands? That are dude's decks.
Yes, is there lands that are dude decks allegedly? Well, they do
exist, and this should go in it because it gives all of your lands
that are creatures like that, what's the one that makes all your all your
forests into one ones? And people try to combo with it because there's like
lots of untapped creature things they can do when their lands are creatures. This
guy could be the new commander of that and give you access to another color,
and he acts as a wind condition in that deck. That isn't an
infinite combo. Sure, so that's why you'll see that. Sure well,
baby, causelect the broken reality is next. It's a good card. This
is a nine to nine nine. When you cast the spell, up to
two players manifest two cards from their hand. We draw a card for each
card manifested this way, and then other colorless creatures we control get plus three
plus two. Now to manifest a card. You take it. You put
it face down in front of you. It's the colorless two to two creature.
And if it's a creature on the bottom half, you can pay its
mane cost at any time to flip it over. And now it's the creature
that it was. Yes, if you manifest early and they don't have manna
to cast that creature, that creature is just not in their hand anymore,
right, Awesome If they're late game sandbagging like an extra turnspell or an insurrection,
now they've discarded it and got a shitty two. Yeah, I can
choose myself and manifest my own guy and then they're five four. You can
make two foot what is that? You make nineteen power worth of guys for
nine and draw four cards and strip your opponents of two of their things.
Fuck this card. This card's going straight into my Wolfguard deck, even though
she doesn't have an attack trigger. Now, whole baby, if good one.
If you had the choice to play this cause like or og cause like
with Annihilator four, I would immediately play first, cause like either because it's
got cast draw four Annihilator four. The Annihilator four pushes it over, like
I don't give a shit about this. This guy five nineteen power in the
deck that I play all drowsy, and then Annihilator four becomes Annihilator eight and
I don't need nineteen power because you ain't got no permanence left you're not wrong.
I'll swing at you and you can have your untapped forest. Can we
agree on something? Yes? Bo okay, Yeah, Now here's a card
that I think is just gonna be hell. This card is Dante's Hell,
like the Fourth Ring or wherever everybody's a tree and the dogs are scratching at
the roots. Yeah, this is that's what bear moon blood moon bear.
Oh like, what do people call this? I don't even care, but
care kudo? I don't even care bear, that's what he is, he
doesn't kudo. King among bears is the two to two for white, white,
blue, white green. Other creatures have base power and toughness to two
and are bears in addition to their other type. You mean other creatures you
control? No, no, no, I mean all other creatures. Hey,
nice causelic dickhead. Now it's a two nice nice fricking nineteen power for
nine man, nice sour on thick daddy and orcs. They're all fricking two
twos. Oh yeah, yeah, well I guess the Armies would still be
bigau they have counters on them. Oh yes, okay. It just shrivels
things into oblivion and it's just oh god, and they eat this card.
Oh, man alive. Hey, if this was a Naya Commander, you
could build this and nothing but pyroclasm effects. Well, you play this and
then one anthem to keep your guys alive, just burn every bear. Well
yeah, but not, it has to be in the command zone to make
that, because Green doesn't have any creature tutors. No, yeah, no,
no, but that card's gonna just be Dante's Hell. I swear to
god. Yeah, that card is good. This card is freaking good.
Let's talk about what's the guild again. Let's talk about simic dot card.
Nadu wing Winged Wisdom is a three four bird wizard for Blue Green one flyer
creatures you control, like all of your creatures, all your freaking creatures,
all of them have this. Whenever this creature becomes the target of a speller
and ability revealed the top card of your library. If it's a land,
put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise put it into your hand. Only triggers
twice each turn. Oh no, per creature. Yeah ah, that's so
that's too bad, per cree. Oh my god, per creature. Yes,
because the creature gains it. Yes. So if you have a just
recently spiked in price, shookoh in equipment that equips for zero, you can
just or lightning greaves because nobody plays that card. That's right. You can
just equip and move the equipment around twice per creature and draw like frickin' eighteen
cards. That's right. Thrust all of the cards in your hand that target
your creatures on your opponent's turns, that's right. Like all the things that
say target creature gets protection or gains indestructible yep, or fights correct yep.
This guy's good because you just you had to seem a carter, you know
what. It was too difficult to get land and cards in blue green.
It was too hard, but so it made it easier for us. On
a cool birdman, bird is the word. It is the word. This
guy doesn't say plus one plus one counter on him. Shut up, that's
just I don't I love the art on this next card. I don't know
what it is about it. I love it Olmo Queen of a Zouva,
but I don't think she's very good. No, I don't think this is
This is one of the commanders in the pre con in Everything deck where you
get the expensive land. Yeah, Okay, we're gonna talk about that in
the next couple of weeks. Give it a read. Yes, it is
a one five for semic hybrid. In two, whenever she enters the battlefield
or attacks, you put in everything counter on target land and another on target
creature, and then lands that have everything counters are all land types, so
all the basic land types. It's a towler, it's a mine, it's
a desert, it's a lost, it's all that shit. Yeah, and
the creatures are all creature types, so like changeling, Yes, gains all
creature types, so it turns all your regular creatures into changelings. So like,
do you just play creatures in blue green that are good and then they
turn into changelings? And who gives a ship? Do you like? Do
you play? Do you really need more mana? Do you need to play
Erzotron in your Almo Queen decks that you can have even more colorless manna casimic
can't make or drawing off cards? Is that what this is for? What's
the point of this? I think it lets you run a bunch of non
basics that care about other things, right, like the towers and the locusts
and all that stuff, and it's cute, but I think also, you
know my Orvar the all form deck, because he's all creature types. I
do all the mirrors and mere lords, all the murfolk lords, all the
wizard lords. I think that you do that in two colors. You get
all the elf lords, you get like the tarmagoif lords, if those ever
existed, Like, you get all the different lords that make bonus for all
your other creatures, and they all give each other all of everybody's bonuses.
I think that's what it is. And this ends up being some combo deck
that you and I haven't researched to know about, or it's like just an
agro frickin' beat deck. Now let me tell you as somebody that played five
color Oops All Lords. Yeah, it doesn't work, It doesn't work.
What deck was that corona before I turn it into what it would inevit of
the comm which was a voltron that like goes to traveled around the table.
It was like an Oops All Lords deck where I played all the changings and
all the really good lords, and then I would have these big dudes that
would get bigger whenever the Corona attack, and just yeah, it's a shitty
deck. But this is two color and you get all the you don't have
to do five color, but you get less lords. You get some of
the best ones. I suppose green and blue. It gets really good lords.
But like it's it's I'm telling you it's a bad deck. Let us
let us know in the comments and what what is it? Because I haven't
looked at this pre con because I had no interest in it. I don't
care. Let us know what deck this is going to be at the helm
of give us a list. Let us know in discord the preferred deck list,
Like if you're a patron, like, we'll do this deck because I
would be interested to learn about it. If you want to drop us an
email, come out of cook at a gmail dot com. Or let us
know in the YouTube comments like what is this one gonna do? I want
to see this card not be boring because it feels like I'm missing something very
specific. But it also feels like how broad I went is too broad?
Sure, so somewhere in the middle is where it's gonna land. Pearl Ear
Imperial Advisor Advisors three four pretty big for an advisory. That four toughness actually
makes a difference in my our commandrite deck. Sure does. Yeah, because
advisors are usually little pussy okay, Spox Advisor life Link. Enchantment spells you
cast have affinity for auras, specifically auras, Okay. So like if I've
got like a freaking concordant Crossroad and my enchantment's not gonna cost less, it's
not got to be an aura, okay. Whenever you cast an aura spell
that targets a modified permanent you control draw card that sounds like it's going to
be good and enchantress decks. But two things. Two things is, if
this is your commander, you're playing a mono white ENCHANTERSS deck, which is
not very good and be usually an enchantress decks. You spread your auras around
onto a bunch of different things, like the land enchapments that give you more
manna, right, so you're not targeting something that's already modified. You know
what this deck is? What is it? Light Pause? For everybody that
played Light Pause? And then then you realize that your light Pause deck is
strong as it is. It's literally the same game every single time, Yes,
sir, and that gets boring. Yes, So they printed pearl ear
so you can take light Pause out, put Pearl Ear in, change deck,
not at all play it. Oh and that makes it more fun,
yes, because now your game experience isn't exactly the same every time, and
you have a card dry Engine in your mono White Enchantment, heavy beat down.
Okay, And so I actually I appreciate this card that it exists because
that I really do think that it's just there to replace light Pause for those
people that were trying to play it in casual but realize that you kind of
you kind of can't, because like, yes, you can play the deck
badly to kind of play to the level of the game that you're in,
But why do that when you could just play the ship out of a less
powerful card. So good on them for printing this one. I like it.
There you go. I like it, and it's an advisor. That's
a good stuff. I don't like this next card because it's gonna be everybody
good boy dog oh blah blah blah, fairly exuberant Shepherd. It's a blank
card too, Like, who gives a shit, it's a blank card.
You blink something. If you blink your own thing, it comes back with
plus one dope. Okay, let's move on Flage Flage Titan of Fires Fury.
Oh man, I honestly thought it was Flange, like in a toilet,
I thought it was I thought it was Flange. I thought it was
Regina FALANGI friends six' six Elder Giant for three manna borrow. Some one
enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless it escaped. It's a Titan, yep,
yeah, okay, like Uru and that other one. Yeah, Croxy
Croxus croxty. Sure, when it enters a battlefield, it lightning helix is
something three to something, We gain three and you escape it for white,
White, red, red xile five from your graveyard. So it's just like
the other Titans. It'll probably work the same way as the other Titans.
See everything we've ever said and anybody's ever said about the other Titans. Infinite
manna. Cast it from command zone infinite times, sacrifice it and zone it.
Yeah, rep so that's fine. Do you pay seven mana to deal
six and gain six? Is that fine? It's probably shitty, Hey,
that's shitty. Okay, but if you have infinite mana, you win the
game. So make infinite man in Boros win game. Sure, Yeah,
make infinite man in Boros. That's the hard part. That's true. I
don't even want to talk about this next card. Okay, I'll do them
real quick, do it real fast. This is the flip row that makes
instance and sorceries cost less. Cast it instant or sorcery, Flip a coin.
If you win, you can take a damage and flip them. He
flips into plus one instance sorceries cost less minus two, draw a card,
do damage minus eight, get a spell from the top eight. The thing
about him is both sides of him do what Goblin Electromancer does, but this
guy's got upside over a Goblin electro mancer and is easier to cast and can
be your commander. So if you care about Goblin Electromancer and copying spells in
your command zone, you probably care about this guy. If you're playing a
Storm deck, you'll probably play This Storm is so broken we should print some
more support for it. Let's move on to Rochine Roaring Profit. This one
is interesting, of course it's interesting. It's Gruel. Okay, four to
four Giant Shaman for Gruel and two enters the battlefield mill six. I like
it already. You could put a card with X in its manecost from among
the milled cards into your hand. Yeah, so mill six drawn X drop.
So it's doing Gulgary stuff. Yes, yeah, okay, tap reveal
any number of cards with X in their manacosts from your hand. Add colorless
colors for each card revealed this way. Spend this manna only to cast things
that have X in their manocasts, doing metal workers stuff. That's freaking metal
work man. Hell yeah, right, man, girl is the best?
This card better than rosheene Meanderer. Yes, I think you play them both,
though probably of course you do. They're in the same deck. They
do the same thing. Roschene is just like an up It's an updated,
upgraded one because Roshine has been far out classed so far away. You know
what I don't like, Tell me I don't like when they do that where
it's like, oh, you have a roshem Meander deck, here's better Roshine.
Well, and you have done nothing to your deck except make it better.
Here's the opposite of what you said about earlier. It's the exact opposite
of what I said with pearlier. I like this one in the same way
for the exact opposite reason. Because roschen was a deck that I played,
and I took it apart because it sucked power creep just took it out of
contention, like it just wasn't good anymore. Okay, But if I wanted
to put that deck back together, I could, because now there's not that
I couldn't before. But like, I think it would stand a better chance
in the current power level of Commander games that I plan if I had this
new one. Okay, I like that. Take if there's some endearing deck,
some pet deck that you can only play when like people are busting out
like jank shit. Right, my Rochine deck used to get rolled by pre
cons like three or four years ago, and precons have got much better.
He tried being good at magic, right, Like holy, okay, sat
yeah, ether Flux genius. This is the Energy Commander. It's for the
energy decks that exist in modern Let's just keep going. No good, good
Take boys. Every Thursday on our Facebook page, you're gonna see altars by
Ryan. One of those altars is gonna be Gangar, sire of Famine Gangar,
as we all know, Hill Gangar. No, just Gangar. Just
take out the shell, put the Gangar Pokemon on top. You're gonna sell
those every week. I understand every week. Guar Sire of Famine. This
guy is cool. This guy's in me. I like this guy. I
like that he's like he's a million different creature types and I liked it.
Five called the mono. What Angel? Aaron is finally gonna build a black
deck because I know he is, because it's an because Angel definitely makes it
right. And Aaron's gonna have an identity crisis. You're gonna have to like
console him. He's gonna cry. Okay, six six for five with flying
because that's for five. That's sacrifice another creature, create a blood token token.
Yeah, so good, powerful magic so far. If you sacrificed an
angel this way, create a number of butt tokens equal to its toughness instead.
Yeah, so, like sacrifice is Sarah Angel, you make four Yep,
that's sure, and that's baseline because angel tokens are four four us.
That's where several butts. You go Arzov hybrid times three sacrifice six blood tokens.
Return each creature from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on
them, which means if they would die, exile them instead. If they
leave play to Go Anywhere. Yep, they're gone from the game instead.
Also the vampires now, yes, so it's a vampire demon Angel Elder deck.
Yeah, I like that lot. Man, this guy's cool. I
like him lots. I want to see this deck and and how cool.
I want to alter this deck. This is the deck that I want to
paint cards for. This is the one. It'd be so like Gothy and
like yeah, man, yeah, like like Aaron's Apostles deck, gold Blacks,
reds. This is a cool one. Yeah, okay, six full
stop six. That's six. It's the tree that Wren rode in. Yeah,
she until she abandoned his ass for seven and then abandoned his ass for
World Breaker. Oh yeah, that's how I think the story went. I
don't know. Okay, what a hussy Wren is? Hey? Yes,
what a sexually liberated human dry as good for them? Man or whatever?
Was a jerk? Well this guy, maybe he's just a good guy trying
to like. No, maybe he's a nice guy and he's finishing last.
So he's a two four with reach four to three, lots of words for
a three drop here, oh my god, whenever six attacks so you got
to attack with them mill three cards. You can put a land card from
among them into your hand. Sure, as long as it's your turn.
Non land permanent cards in your graveyard have retraced. Yeah, buddy, So
you use that land that you put into your hand and pay the man acost
of the spell in your graveyard discarding the land. You take the card from
the graveyard, put it on the stack, cast it, and then it
goes back in your freaking graveyard. This guy's good. Yes, this guy's
good. Yes. Retrace is a great ability and I'm glad to see it
coming back in this manner. Also, you know that this is non lands,
so and the permanence, so you can cast your creatures. You're gonna
retrace your dudes. I like him. I could retrace my ren and six
yes, just to make them feel bad. Yes you could. Okay,
check this out, the return of Grand your end. Is this the first
legendary common creature? I don't that already meanshit anymore? But like I want
to say yes, but it's probably not. And it's fire blast. It's
fire blast on A dude enters the battlefield. Scoa Embermage Goblin Wizard. Six
Drop enters the battlefield. Four damage to any target. You can discard another
one of him and sacrifice two mountains to deal four damage to any target.
This card could see play in Modern because it's fire blast in a burn deck.
Yes, this guy's freaking good, although he cost six upfront. I
don't know if burn decks want to cast six pay six. Oh you have
to have this one in play, right, yeah? No, yeah,
you have to have this one in play. Yeah. Oh dann Yeah,
Okay, forget what I said. No, he's not gonna see play fucking
anywhere. This guy sucks. It's too bad that it's too bad. They
didn't say you could play any number sort of house markov is he's there.
He's a two drop commander one for Lifelink Extort and yes you can play him
in whatever. He doesn't have a white in his color identity. That's reminder
text blah blah blah. Well he's also black wed on the backside, so
you shut up and he flips over and he like post combat main phase.
If you've gained three or more life, you flip them and backside got sixtort
plus two food token ah minus one. Yes, he deals damage equal to
the number of life you've gained this turn to any target. That's freaking goodness.
It's a good finisher in several decks that gain life. It's a good
life gain finisher, and it would be really good an aristocrat deck where you
have the guy who's gaining life faster than you can drain it out, and
you can just kill him off at the inn turn. Yep, it's a
fine card. He's good, he's fine, not fine, But everybody's hype
about this one. Tamio Inquisitive Student card can fuck off zero three Moonfolk Wizard
for one with flying attacks investigate. Okay, so take zero. I'm gonna
get a stupid clue token because Tamio clue token. Whenever you draw your third
card in a turn, sure well, breen storm or whatever. Yes,
Sure, we're just trashing. They're just dragging this card through the muddy.
Well, draw your third card Exile flipper, she turns into oh she good?
Green Yeah, plus two until end of turn. Whenever a creature attacks
a plane's walking control gets minus one sure Sure minus three return instant or sourcery
card from your graveyard to your hand if it's green, add a MANA sure
Sure doesn't seem that good from minus three you can't even freaking do it.
Yeah, okay, and minus seven you know, in eighty six turns from
now draw cards equal to half the number of cards in your library. Oh
that's good, So it's minus seven win the game. Cool, and you
can emblem with no max hand size just in case as if you need it.
Yeah. I don't like this card. That carton can eat shit.
This next card though, Oh I like this. I like this. One
might go on my lands deck. I want to do something with this too,
I just don't know what yet. He's a he's a two seven.
He kind of looks like a sea cucumber and a flesh light had a baby
correct, Yes, with the with the like led lights in it. If
you're like camon for made a cam girl joke and a good man. It's
been a while and I said that the last time I'd made a cam girl
joke. Man. We gotta bring back camgirl jokes on CEO. We need
an extra C and the C stands for cam cg co O Commander Camgirl Cookout
Podcast. Yeah, okay. The necro bloom is a two seven for white
black green one. It's a plant landfall. Whenever a landagers the battle too
to make this your to one plant. Then it's like Field of the Dead.
So if you have seven lands of different names, you also make a
zombie and he also has both. Yeah, no zombie took it instead.
Never mind this sucks. Instead, don't read the last It's still good.
Land cards in your graveyards have dredged too, So if you were to draw
a card, you can mild two and take that land card with Dredge into
your hand. That's cool, very good when you have land cards that cycle,
because you put the land card into your graveyard to cycle it, and
you would draw a card and then you just go, oh oops, I'll
take that land into my hand and draw too instead into my graveyard. That
is, yes, well that's where you draw to this card. That this
is a cool card. This card is what we commonly refer to in commander
discourse as a mistake. You think so, because this is the card that's
going to show everybody why Dredge was so strong to start with, and it's
going to turn into the Dredge scale. Mark my words, Ryan, this
card is going to ruin friendships. Okay, I'm I was going to wait
until we finished our last two commanders. But I'm gonna ask you, now,
Okay, this is and this is one of the questions I always ask
you when you do legendary reviews. Okay, is this the most powerful legend
in the set? Yes? I think it is. You think it is.
I think it is. You know what it's given me. It's given
me the Dredge vibe, of course. And everybody's like, like, got
prickly backs and stuff and hair standing up because Dredge is on a card,
right, Yeah, So that's the thing that maybe we're over emphasizing. But
this also gives me, like, get trug vibes. Let me be land
in your graveyard, like draw more cards. Cycling gives me get trug vibes
the old man from ninety one eight like BC right now, let me just
be that guy. You kids out there these days, you don't know what
Dredge was really like, No, you only know regular Dredge now that you
have tools to fight it. You weren't there in like extended or standard where
Dredge would come up. You weren't there just fucking beat you to death and
there was nothing you could do about it. That's why there's so much graver
interaction right now, Gulgary Grave Troll, Dredge six bridge from below mill everything,
make ten too, two zombies and then what was it? Flame Kinzeliot
goes into your graveyard and then give I will give haste and plus one plus
one swing for thirty on turn one, and then you Dread return by sacrificing
three creatures. After you've dredged, the Dread return into your graveyard. Then
you get the flame Kinzeliot back, and all your remaining two twos are now
three threes with haste and all that happened on turn one, yep. And
that was an extended that wasn't even in freaking vintage where you had access to
like Bizarre Bagdad and Lion's Eye Diamond and stuff like this. And I'm not
saying that this card isn't able to do that, though it could, but
it could, and this thing is gonna beat the crap head. Last time
I checked, you could play Bizarre Bagdad and go guard Gravetrol and all this
stuff. Blah blah blah. I I asked Brando one time when you played
Dredge in in Legacy Legacy, I said, if there was a card that
did nothing that you couldn't even cast like, the card does nothing except your
life total becomes one dredge ten. Would you play it immediately? You know
you play four of them? Oh yeah, I would want to play all
of them all the time. Yeah, I would break against you know,
if they ain't got no land, I'd probably still get them. Oh not
if they got the freaking know. If they got they but they'd have to
have what's what's the what's the card flame blast? Well, then have to
have land cast for free. You gotta remember I go first. Oh yeah,
it doesn't matter if my life total is one, if you're zero.
Last two Ulla and his kid I think is ulamag and Causelect. They like
melded together in the blind eternities, and they craped themselves out as a Woburg
monstrosity that could also be cast for five colorless. He's got devoid. It's
two five for five. Whenever you cast in a drowsy spell, you may
pay colorless colorless. If you do copy all spells you control, then copy
all other activated or triggered abilities you control. You can choose new targets for
the copies. What that's pretty good. That that's where you play like an
ula mag or something and you can like replay it to exile more permanence.
And it's a The top end is very very high and the low end is
also pretty high. Actually, this card card, the the art, the
man acost, the ability, the place your mind goes when you think about
the top end, it's like it's a doubling season and a pan harmonicon and
an al drasey and five colors and no colors like all at the same time.
The place where you go is exactly what Wizards of the Coast wants with
this card. It is the epitome of a commander card, all with shoulder
boobs. I don't watched out that picture is. I can't get over I
can't get past the shoulder boobs. Have you ever looked at a magic card
and it's wearing like a tux seed, It's got like a collar. What's
the most like eye catching card of that? Look at it? Look at
it. It's dink. Look at it's got a sliver for a dink.
That's an elephant head. Man. See look there's there's his eyes. It's
got a trunk and liver head for a dink. And tell me you don't
see it. I was explaining it to you. I just explained it to
you. Oh yeah, it does. Look at it. Look at it's
got tusk say. If you're watching on YouTube, it'll be on the screen.
I'm sure Joe is like using the telestrated. But the point is,
like, boys, you're already freaking thirteen minutes over, get on with it.
The point that I'm trying to make is when you look at this card,
the most eye catching part of it is the nameline, and that's not
good. Is the first place your eyeball goes. That's the only place as
a color that isn't some kind of washed out pass. Oh no, I'm
looking at its shoulder mobs. That's because you looked really closely at it first.
Now you can't unsande. Hey man, I see moves. I'm looking.
Okay. Is this the de facto l Drowsy Commander Ulak? No?
The other one is which one? The other five color one from earlier?
That one is you think? So? I think it's this one. I
think you're going to see this one more. I think that people are going
to try and build this one and then it's not going to go the way
that they think it is because it's so man in intensive, and they're going
to play the other one because it does the thing that you want to do
faster. Yeah, that's ask slag ass slag swelling school. Yeah, I
just I that's what I think. I think that people when they start kind
of going for splashiness, they play uhlek. If they're gonna play for efficiency
and wanting to like just kind of win some games and beat some ass,
they're gonna play the one. Both both are very threatening and if you sit
down against Neil drawsy deck, try to kill that person because they will kill
you. Yes, yeah, every time. Speaking of killing, Oh my
god, this might be the most powerful. This is like this is Layman's
most powerful card in the set, like sheer power top end will demoralize your
opponents. Conversations of and I don't agree with this card needs to be banned.
Oh my god, it's going to ruin the format and games with this
card are gonna be miserable. We fucking kill it, I don't, Yeah,
just kill it with some uhlawog. The Defiler is the seven to seven
for ten. When you cast this spell, target opponent exiles the top half
of their livery rounded up, so you millim out kind of cool, and
you might get their win conditions and really demoralize them and they say they hate
mil Sure, then they're sad. So then the has ward sacrifice two permanents.
It's really strong because why not? Yeah? Uhawag that the file enters
the battlefield with x plus one plus one counters on it, where x is
equal to the greatest man of value among cards in xile. Let's say that
it's five. I would I think that five is going to be the gold
standard. You will. I'm gonna say it'll always be five at least,
yeah, probably not going to be less than that. It could be as
high as nine or ten if it's or maybe twelve. If it's less than
five, you're not happy. Yes, if it's five, it's like,
oh, that's really good. If you hit somebody's like frickin' expropriate, expropriator,
I'm thinking of the extra turn one that's got delve Yeah, it's like
eleven, yeah or whatever. Or if you hit another on DRAWSI. Yeah,
right, it's gonna be I could seventeen seventeen or the annihilator ten yeah,
which annihilator equal to the number of plus ones on it. Keeping in
mind, you can also do things like doubling season to double the number of
counters that go on it. You can proliferate the counters. Do that in
your Ulalect deck because it's got green in it. Yeah, you can double
the amount of counters you can go. Well, you can do that in
the ulamag Defiler deck because you have like Contagion Engine. Ooh right, who
I was thinking, like double number of counters. Fight something annihilate you for
like sixteen now because it had eight before, and then hit you for fricking
twenty something. This card is just the power the sheer power level is so
so high at a glance, it's easy to see or say that this is
the most powerful card in the set. It's not. Even though the necro
Bloom you're claiming, the necro Bloom definitely is okay. So the questions most
powerful, most popular, necro Bloom ullamg. Yes, the necro Bloom is
the most powerful one. Fight me which one is going to be the most
popular? Probably Ulilek or ask Craig one of those. The just the fact
that the el Drawsi decks are pre ordering for the money that they're pre ordering
from as we record. This is a testament to the fact that those two
creatures are going to be the most popular out of the thing. And I'll
bet you they're gonna be in like the top ten or twenty five commanders all
time, just period. Oh yeah, cool, because everybody loves all drowsy
sept Downs. No, I like them, then everybody loves all drowsy set
me and I play them too. So but I hate myself, right,
I hate myself for doing it, but I do it. Which ones are
you gonna play? Which? Which cards are you going to build? If
any like which? Ninety nine's sorry? Which commanders? And then which in
the ninety nine If I was going to build one, I would do the
necro Boom just yep, because because you got all the Dreadge cards and foil,
I got all the stuff to play it. I mine as well.
I'd like to say I'm gonna build Ashley Flame Dancer, but I'm not.
It's just not my card. You've done the Mono Red thing, and you've
got Mono Red decks. I've got four of them. I don't need any
more. And then the last one that I think I like is Rosheen because
it's a callback to a deck that I did really really enjoy and it is
kind of an opportunity for me to take another kick at it. And six
I'm gonna play six six for sure in my av deck so I can get
some more replayability out of my stuff that I'm paying seven four a second place.
Yeah, yeah, for I want to try out Soren house Mark of
house MARKOV in my lended deck because my commander has life link it's easy for
me to flip them and on turns where I do gain that life, I
can like you can jump lock and then I gain the life and then I
hit you anyway because he's got the minus ability. I like that ral Monsoon
made I could replace Goblin Electromancer or I could play both in Calimax because I
want to double, I want to reduce. I want to cast the instance
in sorceries. And I like the idea of transforming my Bryan Stotarm deck into
I'm Smear iron Beater Inbsecure Iron Beater. He's a demon, he flings still,
I can play all the big guys, I can play all the big
artifacts. I could play a bosh Iron Golum. Finally to do like my
commander number two in the ninety nine and you could, I guess you could
use like a goblin welder to you could use like shitty little utility artifacts to
get your big flinging yes back bigs flinging dicks. I like that big swinging
dinks you can fling. Yeah, you could use what's the thing, the
spine of ish saw right, yeah, seven, So you could like play
that kill a thing, fling it with ick smear, and then use goblin
welder to get it back to kill another thing. Yeah, because it comes
back into your hand right when No, like a spine of ishaw. But
that's a trigger right when you when it eatbs, it destroys something. When
it dies, it goes back to your hand. It goes to your gravy,
doesn't it doesn't. It doesn't go back to your hand trigger on the
stack welder it trigg exactly, yeah, exactly. And then yeah, man,
I'm telling you, that would be one that I would like to experiment
with, just because Brian start arm, I've had the deck for so long,
but I've kind of fellen out of love with it, yep. But
I don't want to take it apart because it's good and it's got lots of
good stuff in it. So if I could repurpose a bunch of it,
maybe do it Iron flinging Dinks. Yeah, I like that cool And that's
that. And again, Ceco Nation, we've got a couple of weeks.
We're gonna talk about the whole set next week, Sorry, Joe, we're
going long. We might do something where we just talk about like the commander
decks in a modern set, which is yeah, hey, I gotta take
advantage of the TV. Look at yes if you're gonna want to buy any
of the stuff we talked about today, including those eighteen cent el drasis in
foil. CEO save promo code at Fusion Gaming Online dot com. The last
thing I want to say before your final thoughts is CEO Patreon, curb side,
pickup EDH games hop in the Patreon, get onto the discord, get
your games in with the Nation. They're the best people you're gonna play with
that aren't us, And sometimes maybe we'll be there who can say, and
well, they're probably better than us too, especially at magic. Yeah that's
a thing. That is definitely a thing. But so thank you guys all
for being here. If you have an everything counter lady idea that will make
us say the deck doesn't suck, get it into the discord. I would
absolutely love it to be proven wrong, So sendim in. You've got a
couple of weeks before we'll get to that, but we will get to it
in us. So thanks again for being here with us. We're going to
