gonna get you a discount on all of it. I used to have trivial
pursuit Lord of the Rings. Oh, Matt, I would crush anybody,
buddy, anywhere, anytime. I'll bet your tea Coats could take you.

controls you. He's a closet Lord of the Rings guy. It's just gate
keeping me super hard. Did you ever see what was it? The other
guys where? No, you haven't seen the of course I had where well

take you down, Lord of the Rings. This is this is the ultimate
Tea Coats doing Lord of the Rings trivia in a too tube and his cowboy
boots because he lives in Oklahoma talking about cowboy like Lord, No, what
do we call what did you call it? A cowboy hat? In a
cowboy hat? Yeah, so funny. If you haven't watched the the BBO
Brando's box opening on the CEO what TC you have to watch it. It's
so funny. It's the best one. It's the best one yet and everybody
who's seen it said it's hilarious. I'm very proud of it. So anyways,
we're getting into podcasting business. We're getting ahead of ourselves. We thank
the business Daddies. We thanked Pile of Bones, the official sponsors of Sidewalk
Slams Season two. Beer Uncle, beer Uncle, yeah beer. Oh yes,
daddy is beer. Yes, yes, yes, right, yeah yeah.
The uncle that here's the one you'd show up at home. I'm trying
to decide if I've ever been beer uncle in any capacity, like the uncle
that buys the kid beer, the uncle that is always at Christmas to oh
yeah, okay, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, just
making sure. Come on, we've got a couple of patrons to think.
Patreon dot com slash CEO podcast if you want to support the nation. We
are in the new studio, We've got the new setup, we're behind the
scenes, got a little bit of Commander cookout merch in the works, like
the like the CEO pins over on the website, but a couple other things
that we got to discuss a little bit, and the patrons help us do
all that kind of stuff. So Patreon dot com slash ceco Podcast, we
have a returner, oh, a returner to the discord. That is the
actual benefit. Not only are you helping Commander cocode grow, yes, you
also get to meet all the seven out of ten's that we dunk on during
the show, and who also dunk on me for liking Lord of the Rings.
Yes, as they should as if I'm the nerd for liking Lord of
the Rings. You're in a Magic the Gathering podcast discord, then get over
yourself. Yeah, but you know what they don't do read books only nerds
read books rhyme, Lol, just kidding. I listened to the audiobook.
I don't know if that's any better or not. Okay, So this is
a returner. And remember at the end of the year last year there was
that whole krischmazzle with Patreon because they moved like from Silicone Valley from California to
like somewhere in Europe, and everybody's credit cards were declined. Yes, and
then Uncle Brando had to move out into a box under a bridge. Yeah,
Christian Folele is returning. I don't want to I want to make like
an old Fogey joke or like I don't remember what the original nickname was.
I guess let us know in the discord, or just post anything, because
then we'll see what your nick Just like, hit space bar, then hit
enter and you'll have a blank message or whatever. Yeah, take uncle Brenda.
Oh yeah, okay, So Christian Vogel, welcome back, thank you,
and of course very much. So we've got an increaser. Man.
Joseph fits now, I want to say, fits fits in butt like fist
in butt, like I want to. I think I think that was something.
The nickname was fist in but probably sounds a good thing. Or he
fits and sits. He fits. If he fits it, he'sits. I
don't want to know. That means, yeah, where we're we've got a
new one. We've got a new patron. That's exciting. Andrew Burgess,
Andrew Burgers. It sounds like burgers, Andrew berger finger, burger finger blaster.
No, I want to, I want to. I was thinking of
like something burger meat, burger. No burger finger is good because it's a
that's that's when you don't make them. Don't make them. So I hope
the computer screen in the way, no burger fingers. When you put somebody's
finger or you put your finger in somebody's butt and you that's having burger finger.
Is Is that what that is? Yes? I heard producer Gary and
the booth just gag a little bit. Yeah, like that's that's what it
is the stink finger. But like I thought that was a stink finger.
Well it is, but it's like another name for things could have more than
one name. Yeah, one of those called synonyms like cat. Oh yeah,
let's not go there. I have a calicole, We have a cat.
We were thinking of something else, Yes, I don't know what you
were thinking, as er usual. Anyways, big thank you to all the
patrons. We very much appreciate it, and of course f you. Okay,
New Studio mentioned that Dufferent Avenue Media Group. Gotta gotta follow those guys
on all the socials wherever you can find those guys. Of course, lots
of exciting stuff, yep, coming Yeah, well very much. So we're
in the studio. You've got a little project in the works with the old
damn network network. Yeah, we're gonna do you want to you want to
talk about it? Well, you're gonna talk about it, shouldn't I I
don't know, Well maybe I'm asking it'll get people excited. Let's let's let's
talk about it a little bit. Me and producer Gary. He's also one
of the I don't know people that work here. He's like one of the
guys or whatever. He hangs around a lot. So what we're gonna do
is, we're gonna have a classic and modern kind of gaming show where two
regular guys who just love video games get together with people that know way more
than we do, and we are all going to learn together about classic game
system getting back from yesteryear, and we're gonna play some of the like the
more popular games of the time and just see where the roots came from.
We're gonna take suggestions from the audience, but what they want to see us
attempt And we've got a couple of things in the works. We're gonna learn
about some VIC twenties and some Apple two's or whatever the oh yeah, the
hell those are. Maybe I'll bust out my original Intelevision two that I still
own from when I was a little tiny kid. Dude, I have an
intelevision in my graage and it's like in a garbage bag so it doesn't get
full of dust. And I got like frog Bog Burger time. Oh yeah,
it's forever in my head, gonna be called burger Finger now. Yeah.
And what else have we got on there? Oh? Man? What
other games on intelevision are there? That's why you have to tune in and
listen to this show to learn about the history of video game We're gonna find
out, and I think it's gonna be just a lot of fun. You
get to see some gameplay footage, you get to see some people getting mad.
We're gonna play Battle Toads for you. That's gonna be a oh yeah,
apparently that's a super hard game, right it is. Yes, we're
gonna do some some fun stuff and we hope everybody will come and check it
out. And yeah, and oh man, here's here's the kicker. Here's
the kicker is I'm gonna be producing that show and I've never done anything of
the sort. It's gonna be terrible. It's kind of weird to be out
of the booth and in front of the camera on the mic, because professionally,
in my other life, I am a producer. That's my job.
Yeah, So it's kind of fun to have you do my job and then
I do, well, now our job. Yeah, not my job,
because I don't play video games, but in terms of like public address and
public speaking and speaking in front of people, I've done that a lot.
Yeah, in years gone by, when I had real people job and now
I have podcast, video game paint magic card job. I mean sweet,
Like, who doesn't want that? Yeah? Who doesn't want that? Yeah?
That's it everybody watching now. I was like, well, why why
are you sounds like your complaint? No, no, no complaints. Of
course, never complaining in the nation. It's actually against the rules, unless
you're complaining about Uncle Brando taking too long when I pick him up in the
morning, which he did this morning. Whatever. I was doing important biological
stuff that needs to get done right as soon as he told me, I'll
be ready. And then he's like, oh whatever, okay, last piece
of business before we get onto the deck. Okay. Face to face Vancouver.
Ah, yes, oh so fun. Okay, so may long.
That's the seventeenth to nineteenth yep, Vancouver. We'll call it downtown, right,
it is downtown, okay, Cole Harbor. It's the convention center that
looks like ten tenths all stacked up in a row. Yep. Right,
And we've got the I don't know what the official title of it is,
but I'm gonna call it Command Fest Vancouver. Yeah, and editor Joe'll have
have the logo and the dates and stuff on the screen, like he did
last week. He does a good job for us, and man, I
am pumped because and here's the thing. We've got a confirmation now that Rusty
trom Jones has secured a venue for the CEO after party, and we're gonna,
say, six o'clock on Sunday at I have it here. Al Alibi,
the Alibi room. But that's not alibi, that is that's how you
spell alibi. Yeah, the Alibi room. Yeah sure, it's right like
in the kind of the Steam District area. Yeah, and it's either alibi
or a libby, a libbit a libbit? Which word is it? Probably
like show her hands? Okay, right, well here I'll give you.
I'll give you the skinny. Okay, six o'clock Sunday, Sunday. All
the CEO people are gonna be there. You me like aarn Amy, Rusty
trom Jones. I think Jared Confardi Sink guys coming to Sink. Yeah,
like and and his little buddy that that's like gonna be in the nation.
It might be Andrew Bergerfinger Actually yeah, fifty beers on tap, local and
Imported. I'm reading off their website local free run Ocean Friendly naturally raised what
I don't know it. It's what whatever they serve. What lives in an
ocean that you eat lobsters? They probably have lobsters and fish and shrimp and
chicken. Well, chicken doesn't live in the ocean, but you know what
I mean. Boutique one and Creative Cocktails. Do you think they have CC
octails? I'm not gonna lie. I really thought that said bookcocky and I'm
really glad. Do you think they have boot cocktails? WHOA, I don't
want that. Do not google doude no, no, do not google that.
But that probably exists, Let's be honest. Probably all right, Vancouver,
you get all kinds of stuff. That's the big city. You know
what you want? The big Oh yeah, oh yeah, I've been to
I'll tell you this one. Okay, last piece of podcasting business, I
said, I know, I know, I said that was the last one.
But this is the real last is the last last one. Last week's
Booster Pac game, Right, we've got a winner. They had to guess
that big scorecard with the big ball on it simul lacrum synthesizer. That's the
one. How I backed off on my AS's there, yep, Because there's
lots. Okay at jeff R. Hall ninety two nineteen. What Jeffer Hall
Jeffer Hall ninety two nineteen on YouTube? That's their handle? Man, how
much drugs do you want? When the baby pops out and you're holding the
little bundle of joy and you look at that's a Jeff for Haul. Who
does that? No? Well, maybe they're from Vancouver. Maybe they're from
Hastings Street East or West, definitely East. Maybe pseudo celebrity Scott Hall's brother
Jeff Hey, yo, hey yo. I always do that to Drake when
when I when I message him, Hey yo. Anyways, okay, let
him know how to get in touch to win. I'm gonna take a drink
of totally coffee coffee. So what you're gonna do is you're gonna send an
email with your real name or YouTube pandele with your actually for really real address,
including your postal or zip code that's so important, along with the message
that says, oh hey, I'm the winner, and whether you're not,
you want a Ceco token pack, a Cecio sticker pack, or a crappy
pack of magic card and then we'll send it off to you and it'll be
yours and I don't have any thunder Junction packs. But come command Fest Vancouver.
I'm sticking with it. Command Fest Vancouver, I will have the thunder
Junction packs. Okay, Oh, we didn't say use the CEO promo code
to get five bucks off your Commander package. You're gonna go anyways, you
might as well pay less money. Immediately, take that five dollars you save
and that special gift that the goons are going to give you, you take
it to the Libbys room and buy beer with it. Oh, good idea.
That is smart. That is a good idea. And then you can
walk down the road and get a burger finger. Yes, yes, yes,
correct, that is a thing. That fact. If I remember,
or if editor Joe remembers to have the link on the screen or in the
YouTube description, we will certainly point people where to go for command Fest Vancouver
with the CEO promo comod to seeing you there. It was a lot of
fun last time. It's in the same place. It's a great area of
the city. Yeah, food venues all around, Chronic Tacos and the food
court that like underground because it's going to be raining. Is it going to
be raining? You think it's the spring in Vancouver, it's going to be
raining. But it was the winter last time and it was raining. When
does it not rain in Vancouver? Never? Maybe like four days a year?
Man, what's the point? Stupid Vancouver? Yeah, okay, smart
now, yeah, grow up Vancouver, get a life, get a real
job. Yes, Obecca Splitter of sex, And I mean she's really hot
man, Like I've kind of got the same name as my wife. I
think I'm over what's her name? I can't even remember her name anymore,
Rada air to Keill. I think I'm over her even remember her name.
And I'm just totally into Obecca. Now, okay, so I'll give her
a read two five ogre ogre warlock black white, nope, black red blue
one menace, So you know she's probably getting in if you've got any removal
in your deck, right, yeah, okay, menace. When Rebecca Splitter
of seconds deals combat damage to a player, you may you get that many
additional up keep steps after this phase, man, so you'll get your main
face. Yep, you do it. Remain phase is doing like casting the
cards that we're gonna talk about. Yep, you attack. Let's say you
hit for two during your combat phase, end combat, you immediately go into
a new upkeep, and then you immediately go into a new upkeep and then
you move to post combat main phase or main phase two. Right, Okay,
what yeah, Okay, We're gonna fly through some of the stuff,
like the regular kind of bones and skeleton of the deck, because we really
got to talk about a bunch of what makes this deck tick and what is
the deck and and and and where can we go up? Upgrade, downgrade,
budget not budget? Is there combo potential? Is this really just like
grisis narset? Are we gonna do multiple combat phases? Are we gonna pump
like? This is gonna be the Obeca Guide Primer breakdown Deck Tech courtesy Uncle
Branda because he's he's been thinking about this one a lot. Oh yeah,
it's just my mind all the time, mostly because she had mostly because the
picture, yes, yes, but also the deck is good. Well,
we're gonna go to the ramp really quick. You tell me if there's anything
in here that is overtly Obeca obviously included. You want me to read it
real fast. Frick I couldn't think of another O word off the top of
my head. Damn it. So here's what we're playing. Okay, here's
were plan. We've got thought vessel, Talisman of indulgence, Talisman of dominance,
Talisman of creativity, Salering, rousing Refrain replicating Ring Night's Skate, familiar
Midnight clock felwar Stone, Arcane Sigma. Okay, Rousing Refrain is a five
drop. I don't like this card. You do, Let's remind everybody what
it does. It is a five drop for red red three sorcery. You
get one red for each card in target opponent's hand until end of turn.
You don't lose this mana as steps and phases, and then you exile it
with three time counters on it, and you can suspend it for I think
three. I think it suspends for three. For two, it suspends for
three turns for two manna. Yes, two mana three turns. Yeah.
So if you swing in with Obeka and hit somebody with her, let's say
four to three, Oh, suspend counters come off during your upkeep. Yes,
so you immediately rousing refrain again for some amount of manna that you can
use to I would argue in a lot of obekkadex activate your aggravated assault to
attack again, I was just gonna say, rousing refrain as long as Obeca's
got three or more power is infinite. Upkeeps an attack steps phases with an
aggravated assault, with aggravated assault and rousing refrain. So it's like a really
it's a four card combo. I don't think anybody's gonna be mad at that
because you got a pump, Rebecca. That's a card you gotta have.
Rebecca, got to have rousing refrain after you've while maybe suspended it for two
sure, and aggravated assault, which is like red red red whatever. Plus
you have to activate it like this is a man of intensive I would call
it casual combo, Yes, I would. I would concur I'm pounding that
alliterational today. I'm working on it. The other card that's very important is
a card I just frick and love. This card is replicating ring, which
is a three drop Mann of Rock. At your upkeep, you're gonna get
a counter on I think it's a snow counter, ice counter, whatever the
hell it is. It's the beginning of your upkeep, okay. And then
when it has eight counters on it, you remove all the counters from it,
and then you get eight of them. So if Obeca's got eight power
and we had eight upkeeps, we could just get replicating rings thereby going infinite
with aggravated assault. Again, yes, we can undertake her that. Well,
you create replicated rings, do they eat be tapped? No? No?
Oh wait I guess, Oh yeah, because it doesn't sacrifice. So
you can just keep using replicating rings to replicate rings. Yes, oh,
yes, there you go, so good. Yeah, Okay, Night's cape
familiar. That's a cost producer in Grex's midnight clock is at the beginning of
each upkeep, you put an hour counter on it. When it hits midnight,
that is twelve upkeep or twelve upkeep mid encounters whatever, you discard your
whatever you time twister right time twist. Yeah, so you shuffle your graveyard
and library into everything and freaking draw seven cards. It's fine, it's cool
card and again like it's a three man of manner rock that does some upkeep
inclusive thing. I think that this one might actually be the weakest. I
think so if you were to upgrade this because people I've heard people talk about
this for like competitive Commander, right, like c edh. This could just
be time Twister, and you're playing blue like this should just be Time Twister.
You know, if you go to casual like Time Twister, thirteen hundred
dollars burning a hole in your wallet if you hate money just so much Time
Twist. I hate money. That's why I give it all to the grocery
store, gas station, and bank. Yes you hate money too, oh?
Absolutely? Oh yeah, money disgusts me. Yes, all I want
is excitement. All I want is to have no money. Correct. Okay,
it's why I play magic. Yes, very good, very good.
Okay, we've got some hard advantage and these are more we're gonna watch out
for upkeep inclusive cards. We've got Wheel of Fate, which is speaking of
Time Twister and expensive cards instead of Wheel of Fortune. We're playing Wheel of
Fate because it has suspend four for red one. When it unsuspends itself,
everybody discards their hand and draws seven. Yes. No, you could replace
this with Wheel of Misfortune or possibly the new Memory Jar if you want to
go that way. Wheel of Fate's fine, but I think it's in here
because of the gimmick. Do yes, Actually, thin Wheel of Misfortune might
even cost less money. Oh you know what we didn't say whose deck it
is to crutch to crutch on discord. Yes, thanks for sending it in.
Yes, very thanks for trying some screwball shit. I'm so excited to
talk about screwball shit. Well, speaking of screwball speaking of screwball shit technically
alliteration, Yes, no, technically not because the literation is on sound not
actual s. Sure do we even care about wheel of like? Could this
be anything that just draws us cards? Like we can't loop this? Is
there any way for us to continuously cast this noly cast? There we go?
They're probably no, I don't know if there is. Actually, it
doesn't matter. It's a card drops, it's a cool card. You could
replace it with the Blue Shrine that just draws you a card for each line
you have on your upkeep. Yes, that's gonna draw in all three cards
every turn, every time you get somebody with Rebecca. That's pretty damn good.
We very much did also receive a Obecca shrines list, which is because
those all trigger on your upkeep based on the number of shrines you have,
right, But here's the kicker for that is a lot of those the shrines
that trigger on the upkeep are the old Camagala ones for the most part.
What about the new ones from Neon Dynasty? Don't they trigger on your They
trigger on other times. I think a lot of them have different triggering times,
so they're less abusable than the courts, which we're gonna get to later.
Yes, if you want your Rebecca to go from here to here,
you can replace courts with shrines for play both if you want to. Just
what do we say from a completionist standpoint point? For the Obecca deck,
If you're playing the shrines that trigger on your upkeep, you also play the
ones that don't like that trigger whenever. Yes, because they get stronger the
more you have Yes, And it doesn't matter when they trigger. You just
want all of them. Right. That's how the shrine deck work. Yep,
and I guess this isn't five color. This is three color. But
you could still play six shrines and have at least three of them trigger on
your upkeep, right, Yes, Dale, Okay, let's move on.
Twilight Profit Twilight Peepe. This is an actual like Obecca staple card that you're
going to see in lots of Okay, let's put the let's put the staple
stamp on it. So this is a two four for black black two with
flying and ascend. Ascend means if you have ten permanents, you have ascended.
And what a stupid mechanic. Why does it even exist? Yeah,
at the beginning of your upkeep, if you have the City's Blessing, which
you will reveal the top card of your libry and put it into your hand.
Wach opponent loses x life or x is the spells mana value. So
I'm gonna take four up keeps. I'm gonna flip four cards and then you're
just gonna take damage four times unless land yes, and you could win the
game with that card draw spell. If you're thinking about like reducing the average
man of value and playing things like Ponder and Brainstorm and Preordain and things that
let you scry never mind scry lands, never mind things like Sense's Divining Top
and maybe counterbalance and and what's the other one, scroll rack. Sure like
you could just scroll rack all of these spells that we're gonna talk about,
yes to the top and win the game that way without even using these stupid
things. Yeah, anyways, search for his Canta. This is a flip
card that lets you at the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top
card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard. Then,
if you have seven or more cards in your graveyard, you can flip it.
When you flip it, it turns into as Kanta the Sunken Ruin,
which lets you look at the top four cards your library, reveal a non
creature, non land from among them. Put it into your hand. Blah
blah blah blah blah the rest the bottom. Yeah, and it taps for
a blue We gotta we gotta expedite these Forrexian arena. That's at the beginning
of your upkeep. Los a life draw card or lose eight life draw eight
cards. I like that better. Also good inspiring refrain. This is like
rousing a refrain in that it has suspend and instead of getting manna and then
resuspending it, you draw two cards and resuspend it. Yes, yep,
apauc recite. I don't like. No, this card was expensive for a
while. Remember yes, this is the one one for two enters a battlefield
with three plus ones on it. If you didn't cast it from your hand,
okay, first time, we probably will when Apocracite dies exile it with
three time counters on it, and it gains suspend. Sure, so it
eats shit and then it comes back when you hit somebody with obeck and it's
a yeah, why why is this in the card advantage section? Because you
get this thing over and over again. Yes, you draw a card,
but it's an apocase that's not that strong. Court of Vantress. Here's our
first court to here we go recording their courting disaster, letting us hit them.
It's an enchantment for Blue Blue two. All the courts have the line
of text on this is when it enters the battlefield, you become the monarch.
Okay, this is key because a lot of the times when you play
these, I'm just gonna hit you and steal the monarch from you. Yes,
with these, when you play them, you're gonna hit them with obeka,
remain the monarch and get all the super sweet triggers. Yes. In
this case. At the beginning of your up keep, choose up to one
other target enchantment or artifact. If you're the monarch, you make a token
copy of that artifactor enchantment. So another court, let's say, if you're
not the monarch, Court of vantress becomes a copy of that thing and gains
this ability. This is definitely the weakest court in this deck. Yes,
so much so that I don't even know if I would play this over and
above like some random fixing card draw or additional man of rocks I concur Okay,
I think it's it's here for the sake of completion, as we were
talking about before. Yes, here's another one that I don't think I can
play in this deck, though it is an excellent carde Black Market Connect black
two enchantment at the beginning of your pre combat main phase. What that's not
the upkeep? No pulls, Choose one or more, create a treasure,
lose a life, draw card, lose two life, create a three two
colorless shape, shift a creature token with changing lose three life. I don't
I don't see. I don't get it. I don't get it either.
You don't get it. Ok I feel like the crotch had one put it
in here. Well, it's a good card to put in, but the
card itself, just like inherently in a vacuum, is very good. I
would just cut it, cut it, cut it half a scissors. Yes,
okay, next one is Avarice amulet a four drop equipment, Equip Creature
gets plus two and vge Vigilance Menace four or five. Now we're talking.
Yeah, right at the and at the beginning of your upkeep you know,
after you have five up keeps this turn because you're gonna hit them for whatever.
Okay, right, you draw a card so good when aquip Creature dies,
target opponent gains control of Avarice Ambulance and then if they use it,
you just kill their guy and get it back. Yeah, very good,
Yes, that is correct. This card is good in this deck. Yes,
very good. It's this is one of those cards where you probably didn't
didn't even know what existed, Like, why would anybody ever play that except
in this deck? Yeah, I suppose you invest six man and somebody's gonna
kill your dude and steal your ship equipment on their thing and then draw a
bunch of cards with yep, oh damn, okay, removal removal or we
got to talk about removal and protection. But here we go. We've got
blasphemous act every one, We've got capricious a freat. I don't know if
this is really that good, but I think it's being played because it's worth
ten cents and it says during your upkeep on it, okay six four for
six. At the beginning of your up keep, choose target non land permanent
you control an up to two target non land permanents you don't control, destroy
one of them at random. Sure, Yeah that's not that good. This
could be a chaos warp. Yeah, that's fine. Damnation, And we
are a little bit light on removal. Like there's five cards in this section
and we don't have like any that I'm really happy about having at instant speed.
Yes, right, and we're playing black and Blue. We should have
that and red like and one of the other lists that was sent in I
don't know who because you were looking at it, but you told me that
you got a list that has deadly Rollick and fierce Guardianship and deflecting Swat and
Thunderclap and this and that and counterspell and like terror and doom Blade and terminate.
Right, Like, there's so many things that we could be playing instead
of capricious of free. This is just like it's just on theme. So
it's here. What if you pick what if you got like tan up keeps
and you pick random stuff and you destroy your own stuff every time it could
happen. You know, I do like that. I don't hate that.
But anyways, Curse of the Cabal, Curse of the Cable, target player
sacrifices half the permanence they control rounded down and it's got suspend so you suspend
it and you immediately cast it again, suspend it, immediately cast it in.
This one just suspends one time. Oh yeah, only I don't like
this one either. It's here because it has suspend in it. It costs
ten, which could be good. With the flip over the thing, everybody
loses life. Yes, person suspends for black Black two and at the beginning
of each player's upkeep, if Curse of Cabal is suspended, you can sack
a thing to put two more time counters on it. Yeah, but we're
not gonna do that. We're gonna suspend it for four. We're gonna hit
somebody, We're gonna cursive Cabal of them, and they're gonna sack half their
shit. Yeah, this one feels like a gimmick. Yeah, this is
a gimmick card for sure. Just so just like Reality Strobe, which is
a it's a bounce spell that just suspends itself after it resolves every time.
This is one that suspends itself that we can cast again and again and again.
Now, if we're doing Obeca infinite combat steps, this card is good.
Put reality Strobe in your death because not only are you gonna get infinite
combat steps, but there's gonna be maybe somebody that you can't get through.
They've got an indestructible blocker or a team of dudes or whatever it is.
You can reality strobe their stuff back to their hand and make them the last
person that you kill. Yep. So if you're doing the combo route again,
completionists sake, when you're doing the four or five card infinite Manna infinite
attack steps, combo, reality Strobe is gonna facilitate that or help you.
It's gonna be the cherry on top of that cake. Yes, like cherry
on cakes. Yes. Fraying line, fraying line. We have never played
this card. No, we have not, And you know what that surprises
me, because this is a fun card. Okay four drop artifact. When
it enters a battlefield, put a rope counter on target Okay rough counter.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep or hours eight times in a row that
player may pay two. If they do, they put a rope counter on
a creature they control, otherwise exile fraying Line, and each creature without a
rope counter on then removes all What the fuck does this card even do?
This card doesn't do anything. You fraying line, your Rebecca's that she doesn't
die. This seems terrible. Give a rope counter. Then you remove all
the other creatures from the game, but only Obeka remains, and then you
can get it for your second combat, your third combat, your fourth combat.
It's a gimmick card, but it is cool. Okay. If it's
a gimmick card that costs six, I'm gonna cut it and put Cyclonic rift
in. Yes, yeah, you can do that too. It does the
same thing better ciclonic rip. Oh yeah yeah, psychonic hold. On a
second, it does frame line, but better for the same purpose. Okay.
So if we don't want to pay thirty seven dollars and want to pay
forty nine cents, correct good good include yes, okay Becca protection, we
will obek protect missed opportunity to crotch, Go crotch yourself, champions helm that
gives it hexproof if it's legend and plus two plus two also important, se
your one warding ward wing familiar. I'm having in trouble with all the words
today. Yes, yeah, noticing that as well. This should this should
be this should be a swiftoot boots instead of a shitty one three with flying
Yeah that makes your guy have ward three. Yes, swifter boots ah,
because that's haste and that's just hext proof. Yes, just do that.
I like having like a multiplicity. I can say that, but I can't
say ward wing. Sure. I like having a multiplicity of different ways to
protect. Sure creature needs to be removed. So does whisper, silk,
cloak, sodaes, silent arbiter, So does this? So does that like
different ways to protect? Right? Sure, lightning grieves, We've got that
of course, hex proof or no haste and shroud slip out the back if
you know what I mean. Put a plus one counter on target creature and
it phases out instant speed. Blue MANA. Yes, this is a good
one because it's gonna protect and it's gonna make Obeca bigger when she comes back.
That's right, Yeah, very good. Thran power suit. We maybe
played this, I think we did once. This is a two drop equipment.
A quick creature gets plus one plus one for each aura and equipment attached
to it and has Ward two. Sure, so if we had like a
Whisper Silk Cloak and a Thran power suit, then Obeca's gonna have four power
Yes, that might be enough to win the game. Yes, okay,
and then winged boots flying and Ward four equipment. Sure that Onund's good,
that's fine. Ward four is a big cost, okay, getting combat damage
in Oh yeah, here we go, here it comes. Whisper silk Cloak
should be a path path razors boots. I think Path three the one that
gives basic yea path trailed by trail it is. It doesn't give shroud like
Whisper silk Cloak does, but it's a smaller man of investment and it,
let's be honest, it makes her creature unblockable. Period. Whirler Rogue four
drop two to two. When Whirler war Rogue enters the battlefield, create two
to one onepter artifact. Creature tuggles with flying and you tap two untapped artifacts
you control. Target creature can't be blocked this turn. There we go.
Yeah, we've got the thopters. We've got enough equipment that I think is
fine. Oh shit, look at that. There we go non basic landwalk.
Sure, oh yeah, the black Gate t coach totally knows what this
car does. Man, I barely know what this car does. Okay,
as it enters the battlefield, you could pay three life if you don't.
It enters tapped, so like the Zenda car ones, Yes, right,
okay, it taps for a black cool it's a legendary land Gate. Let's
see if they did there there you can go black one tap, choose a
player with the most life or tied for the most life target creature. Obeca
can't be blocked by creatures that player controls. What if we have the most
life? Blackgate? Not so good? That's what we play things like for
Excian Arena. Yes and upkeep ourselves eight times? Yes? Yeah, okay,
I hate life as much as I hate money. Silent Arbiter. You
like this one, I sure do. Give it a read. No more
than one creature can attack each combat. No more than one creature can block
each combat. Remember Obecca has menace. Oh yeah, so she can't be
blocked. Now unblockable, and we're only going to attack with one creature anyways.
Yeah, and there and now they can only swing back with one if
they get to switch back at all. Okay, she's She's O Death's Storehouse
taps for black black tap target legend gains fear until end of turn, and
fear I think was renamed to intimidator sort of, but it means it can
only be blocked by black or artifactory. Correct, that is fear, So
you're probably gonna get through to somebody. Yes, we've got an aqueous form,
which just means a change of creature can't be blocked. And when it
tax scry one, that's good. With the with the twilight profit yep.
And then finally ROGIEP that's ros passage. Yes, makes your doing unblockable for
a bunch of men easiest. I've won many a game with this card.
Oh me too. This card is like five man, I kill you.
Yes, you got to craft that scenario. But if you if you're holding
this in your hand, or if it's like in your in your pilot land
at the bottom and your opponent doesn't remember that you have it, oo feels
good. They you got to craft the scenario. But let's say you've got
ten power. Late game, somebody's at eight or you've randomly dinked them with
your chip ins with your commander, and then late game it's like, okay,
buff my guy, make it unblockable twenty one you let's just say you
wanted to have eight up keeps, I'll just kill you unblockable this turn.
Yeah, let's say you're gonna get a bunch of more combats. You're just
getting in there. You have to rogues passage one time. It's really oh
yeah, that is really good. Okay, we've got bonus up keep win
the game, and Becca beats. Let's just do the beats. Let's make
her big. I think we go to b and these are going to be
like a bunch of effects that all kind of do a similar thing, right
sort of, Yes, okay, let's let's give it a go. Here.
World at War extra combat phase and it has rebounds, so you get
an extra combat phase next turn, so you get an extra combat phase.
Then you hit a pit with Rebeca. Then you get an additional combat phases
for three combats in one turn. At the at the beginning of your next
upkeep is when you would cast this. Yes, oh, that's good.
I didn't even put that together. That's really really good. Okay, Twinferno.
Let's say you want to copy your World at War. Yes, you
can play Twinferno. Mac and I just talked about this on Dominaria United on
Commander History. Sure, this card is good instant. When you cast your
next instant or sorcery this turn, you copy it. There you go.
So we would just copy the World at War. Yes, it's pretty good.
Or you can give target creature double strike. Don't care. That's another
well WITHBKA you're not wrong, yeah, yes, yes, yes, okay,
Tavern Brawler. This is a background. I kind of like this one,
but also kind of don't. And it's an enchantment background for Red.
Two Commander creatures you own have at the beginning of your upkeep exile the top
card of your library. This creature gets plus X plus O and to lend
of Turner exits the card's man of value and you can play at this turn.
I'm seeing a need a little bit of a need in this particular Obeca
deck to have the scry lanes. Yes, the scrylines at carabout they give
you two colors so they fix Yep, we're not trying to break any land
speed records, playing like CEDH combo. Correct. We could play the scribe
lines, skriyelines in here and behind this, or a scroll rack, or
all of those things we talked about before. We'd all go right in here
and be right at home. Okay, we're playing three swords Heart and home
Forge in Frontier, Body and Mind. Why not the one that untaps and
lets us go infinite with aggravated assault, because we're not playing aggravated assault,
but though we could, though we should be. Yes, protection from white
and green, get some man to do some stuff, protection from red and
green. Body and Mind mills for ten and gives protection from green and blue.
My thought is these are probably the swords that he has, yes and
or meta considerations, right, Like you can you can spice if you're gonna
include three, four or five swords, you spice to your meta. Yes,
I can't beat this deck that these two guys play that share a color.
I'm gonna put this sword in. Like we have no pro black in
the swords here, which is do we have stuff? We do have?
We do have blue enchantments and swords that give pro blue. So I just
just just remember that just be careful. Okay, okay, what the hell
is this? It locks it on Warhammer? Oh, Gruel Morales the Great
Shatterer otherwise known as locks it on Warhammer. What even is that from?
I want to say Warhammer looks Warhammer ish plus three trample Lifelink. Sure,
get in there. One of the most expensive cards in the deck right here,
car Lock Fury of a Furness. Yes, everybody wants to like smash
her in boulders Gate on the video game thing, I guess, But that's
not why she's in here. She's in here because she gives us an additional
combat if it's your first combat. Yes, so we all know why that's
there. Yeah, very much so. Look at her big hammer. Yeah,
got speed lines, which my hammer had speed lines doesn't last. I
tried to drill a speed hole in my hammer one time. Made it really
difficult to hammer stuff with it because a hole and the nail kept going in.
We are talking about different things. Chaos Terminator Lord, what the hell
is that? Hey? Like, what what the fuck? This? For
sure is a Warhammer card. This is a three three for four and it's
got at the beginning of your combat another target creature you controlled gains double strike
until end of turn, so it doubles. It doubles our upcreek, our
upkeep triggers that we're gonna get with Obeca because she's gonna hit twice. Yeah,
blood oh, butt Forged battle battle ax Oky plus two. Equiped Creature
deals combat damage to a player, create a token that's a copy of butt
Forge Battle Acts. This one is just a way to make Obeca bigger.
Yes, do you think the number is four that she has to get to
to have four upkeeps. We're gonna see, We're gonna see it. I
think four, four or five is the magic number of upkeeps that you want.
Where you just going to start blowing people out, but and I we're
gonna get there, especially with the next card. Yeah, okay, well,
speaking of blowing people out. Yeah, butt flame, I'm trying to
do a butt flame. It's blade reforged. Is that it? Butt blade
reforged? It's so butt right there? But right, blade Reforged. Equip
Creature gets plus one plus one for each land you control Equipped legendary three equip
regular Like that's ever gonna happen ever in the history of any time in magic.
Yeah seven correct that's lots. Have you ever done that? No?
No, no, why would I? Why would I? When I can
just pay three and put another creature that I want to have it and then
kill somebody five man a total investment to make Obeca at a bare minimum seven
to five A seven ten yes, seven ten yes, and we're gonna seven
upkeeps. So when I when I say something like, oh yeah, we'll
take seven upkeeps or eight upkeeps, like we're not just we're not screwing around,
like that could be a real thing. And remember your reality strobe and
stuff. Those are the refrains. If you get enough upkeeps, you're gonna
did it, cast it, cast it, cast it. Yes, right,
So like there's a lot of value to be had here outside of the
courts. That is value and synergy when Obecca's big enough, yep, and
Obecca would need to be three or four to continuously casting those refrains to like
rip through your deck if you have like a couple combat steps, like you
could go combat buffal Becca to three, so you can immediately cast a blue
refrain, draw two cards and potentially play like an extra combat like a car
loc or a what was the other World at War twin Fernel, recast the
blue refrain, draw two cards again and still have Mana left over. Yeah,
okay, so this is this is the territory that the deck is getting
into. And that's not even the combo list. And that's not even like
a optimized for competitive play or even high power super synergized like like you could
high level play. Right, you could stuff this with all the free counter
spells, all the reeval because you have all the best of all that stuff,
yep, plus all the best tutors plus some of the bad tutors like
you. This deck could this could deck could break land speed records if you
wanted it to. Okay, we just have to make four man an attack
with Rebecca quickly, and you've got to solve for haste in that case.
And that's when the deck starts to like really fall off the CEDH cliff where
you have to make the different colored Manna solve for haste and still have protection
for your two, three, four, five card combo. That's where it
starts to fall off the realm or off the cliff of CEH. But wait,
there's one other there's one other thing of cards go down to the bottom
there just a special for Ryan because we were talking about these ones before the
show actually, and Ryan was like, these aren't even good, yes,
except in this deck. I have foils of all of these from m fifteen,
thinking, man, I would love to play these just any time.
Ever, and you know where They're gonna probably go fricking straight into Uncle Branda's
deck because I'm gonna give them to that. That's right, It's perfect.
It's the best way of getting cards ever is Ryan has them and gives them
to me. I've been saving these sons of bitches for like ten years for
me. So the ring of Evo style, Ring of Valcus and ring of
zan Thrid zathrin Athrid Zathrid. So each one of these rings, it's an
equipment or you put down for two. You can equip it for one at
the beginning of your upkeep. If the creature equipped with it is a color
that obeca is yes, you put a plus one plus one counter on her
and then each one gives you some effect. The red one gives you haste,
the black one allows you to regenerate your Rebecca, and the blue one
nits or have I think is it shrouder hex proof pay two gains hexproof till
end of turn pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, so all of those
are good. And once you've hit once, your Rebecca doubles in power,
which yes, is enough. Like you don't need to hit a bunch of
times. You need to hit one time. You get diminishing returns because it
doubles the first time, but then it only gets plus two plus two plus
two. But you're gonna equip. You're gonna hit for two. You're gonna
get two upkeeps. She's gonna be a four or five or four to seven,
but then you're gonna get four upkeeps, and then you're gonna get eight
up keeps. You can get sixteen up and if you need to go higher
than sixteen upkeeps, you're doing something you you're not. You don't have the
all the stuff yet you have all the things out, and what are the
things you're gonna want out? Oh we didn't even talk about the initiative yet.
Oh man, we gotta okay, what is the initiative? The initiative
is when you gain it, you go into a special dungeon which I cannot
recall. Nope. And then at the beginning of your upkeep you move down
the rooms of the dungeon, and when you complete the dungeon and get the
initiative again, or during your upkeep you do that again. Yes, so
in the deck here, this very much is a gimmick, even though like
farming dungeons is so so powerful. Remember my Zata deck. I could farm
like I could speed run like twenty dungeons in like one turn. Yes,
we could do this with Okay, stirring Bard. When it enters the battlefield,
gain the initiative. Then we have it and take eight up keeps and
complete the dungeon. Okay, if there's more on that card, that's important.
It's a zero four for four. It also says tap target creature gains
mans and haste, Oh, both good things. Yes, okay, we've
got Saravox tomb Etb's initiative and then it's a man of Rock. And if
you have the initiative instead, it's it's a two drop or like a two
man of Man of Rock. We've got Raven Law adventurer ETBs initiative. If
a creature and opponent controls would die instead exile it, so with a hit
counter on it, that's fine. Whenever Raven Loft Adventure attacks. If you've
completed a dungeon and we're going to speed run this one, defending player loses
one life for each card they own in exile with a hit counter. It's
pretty cool, Neat, It's not going to win you any game. Could
we kill everything that they have some strategic or combo way to make this be
a win condition blasphemous act. Yeah, but that kills Abeca too, then
we can't speed her on our dungeons no more. Oh yeah, So anyways,
that's just something to think about. We've got passage way seer initiative when
at ETBs and at the beginning of your end step terrible if you have the
initiative put a plus one on whatever. But it does give you the initiation.
Yes, from the catacombs. Put target creature card from a graveyard onto
the battlefield under your control with a corpse counter on it. You gain the
initiative at the beginning of your something battlefield exile blah blah blah. Initiative.
Initiative is what that says on it, okay, At, it is that
what we're doing. We're speed running the initiative. Caves of the Adventure initiative.
Yes, Era, what the hell? Era? Cockra ore? Are?
I think I got it? Are a coca craw? It's an ara
cocra sneak. It's a bird. It's a bird sneak. It looks like
a like a rooster, like a cock initiative. So what we're gonna do
is we're gonna gain the initiative. And much like the monarchy, when you
hit the person that has it, you're gonna take it back. So if
you get a stripped from you, you're just gonna get it back and then
immediately do a bunch of dungeon stuff. And I don't remember all the things
the dungeon dungeon does. If you're watched on YouTube, which should be,
it'll be on the on the screen and maybe Joe will be really helpful and
he'll draw the little map through the dungeon. I'm not putting that on them,
I am, But I do love doing dungeon stuff, if you know
what I'm saying. I don't. I don't kind of think you liked Adventures
in the Forgotten Realms that much. Oh the Forgotten Realms get me started,
kind of like it's kind of like doing graveyard stuff. If you know what
I mean, Oh, butt stuff, I understand what you mean. Now,
okay, I get it, I understand. Okay, speaking of butt
stuff, our first guy in the bonus upkeep is Plark. So let's now
we've already talked about how we can just beat you to death with Obeca.
We're gonna do butt plarg stuff. But now let's plug you into the ground
with Oh, We're gonna stomp your plarg into dirt plarg in. The Siri
is a five to four for Red Red three. At the beginning of your
upkeep, each player exiles cards on the top of their library to the Xiley
non land card. An opponent chooses a non land card, exile this way,
and you can cast up to two of the remaining cards for free.
So we can just do that eight times, yes, or four times or
whatever. Yes, this one doesn't win us the game, but this one
gives us major card events. Oh it sure could. How well, if
you're playing all of your opponent's best stuff, I suppose yeah, right,
Like you're gonna lose the best card in the four things, but you're gonna
use the other two. Yes, So technically you're not playing your opponents best
stuff. Because you don't get the best stuff because it never misses either,
You're always gonna get You're gonna get spells every every time because land isn't a
thing. Yes, you're right. I don't like cards like this because I
don't know what I'm getting, right, and I I think about like my
cascade deck or my dinosaur cascade deck, Vehicle's deck. Right when you cascade
into like a two drop on turn ten, it's like, oh, that
could happen. I could get my opponent's stupid commands fear or whatever or whatever.
Sure, yeah, let's let's say those last two. Let's talk about
dark Steel reactors. Oh yeah, this, this one's slow, but it's
been one I've always wanted to do and play and try. I've never even
cast this card. I don't even think I own this card. I do,
I do have one, And after I saw it in this deck,
I'd forgotten that it was even a car. Are you gonna put in your
Obeka? I sure am, okay, I absolutely am, so thanks to
crotch. Yeah, thanks for the crotch. Dark Steel reactor is indestructible.
That means it can't be broken. Right, four drop at the beginning of
your upkeep. You may put a charge counter on dark Steel Reactor neat okay,
when dark Steel Reactor when it has this many so when you put the
twentieth one on or more, you win the game. It's just straight up
good, right is it? Though? Twenty lots when you're starting at two
extra upkeeps sure? And it's a four drop, So like, do I
play this? Or do I play Obecca? On turn four? Like?
When do I play this? And how do I farm it? I'm just
thinking, like my brain is continuously going back to how do I just break
Rebecca? Oh wait, that's my life break Obecca wide open, like,
go how do I do this? You're still thinking about the win in one
turn. Yes, and this might not win you the game in one turn,
but it's difficult to deal with and we'll just net you value over time.
Let's say something happens Rerobeca just isn't getting in yep, but you've got
her up to you know, five six, you've got a clock now still
if you protect yourself or you just okay, I got this, I got
this. If we're not comboing, we're not doing the infinite combat steps and
stuff, this feels like the thousand year clock that untaps and gets age counters
or whatever. It feels like he looks pinnacle needs one hundred counters. It
feels like pay fifty life to deal fifty damage with etherflux, reservoir this other
than reservoir. This feels faster than those other two if we're not comboing.
Yes, so okay, if I look at it like that, then this
is a fine card. It feels like those other ones. Yes, okay.
Now, Court of Lockthwain, Court of Mbareth, Court of Cunning,
Court of Ambition. We're missing Court of Ayre, which needs to go in
here. Is that the right color? It's red? Oh, okay,
and it's good. We'll talk about that once we've talked about these. All
of these courts. Say when they etb you become the monarch. Yes,
then they all have some effect, and if you're the monarch, that effect
is amplified greatly. Yes. So remember when we drop these or when we
attack with Obecca, we will have these and we will be the monarch.
Yes. That is at least the theory and the stratagem that we're trying to
make unfold. That's what the deck is designed to do. Okay, is
get Obecca in thus you will be the monarch. Okay, So ambition is
if you're the monarch instead, each opponent loses six life unless they discard two
cards. Yes, and if you're not the monarch, which doesn't really matter,
it's one card in three life. Okay. If they don't have cards,
now they're paying life, so you wreck their whole hands. Yes,
then they just start dying. This is how it would play out. I
will hit you for eight I'll have eight upkeeps. You have to discard sixteen
cards. When you can't discard cards anymore, lose six life each time,
and usually by that point in the game, they'll discard like four cards,
and then they'll have to lose six life like six times and go from thirty
six to zero. Probably pretty good, Okay, that's pretty good court of
cunning. Yes, if you're the monarch, each of those players mills ten
cards. You pick, you pick opponents, all three of them mill ten,
mill ten eight times, eight times or seven times or six times.
It's probably gonna get there. Yes, this one is probably not as powerful
as the other ones unless you can make it all happen at once with multiple
attacks, because we're trying to kill our opponents on a different axis. Yes,
so mill is mill If you know you know, if you know how
hard it is when you're not comboing, then you know. Okay, m
breath quard cool. If you're the monarch, it deals x damage to each
opponent, where x is the number of creatures you control, and if you're
you make a three to one. Also oh okay, so at the end
of upkeep you make a dude, then if you're the monarch, it deals
damage to it. Oh so we would we would deal one and then get
another upkeep and make two. But we have Rebecca. So you're gonna deal
two, then three, then then four and six? Okay seven, eight
to everybody, And I don't do the math good Yes, eight, fifteen,
twenty one, twenty five, sure right, like that'll do it.
It's probably enough. That'll do pig, especially if you have Court of Ambition
out at the same time. Yes, yeah, okay, the next black
court. At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of target
opponents library. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled,
and man out of any type can be spent to cast it. If
you're the monarch until end to turn, you may cast a spell from among
cards exiled with Court of Lockloin without paying their man of costs. So you're
going to exile the top eight of various decks and then play them for free,
which again, it could be very good or very bad. Sure,
I like the ones that deal damage. We can we can draw cards under
our own kind of volition with our own spells in this deck, play Jess
as well. Play the blue card draw spells, play more Black card draw
play freaking play necropotents, play Cord of Iron, sure, which I forget
how much it costs, but it does two if you're not the monarch,
it does eight if you are the monarch. Ye, that's like a bunch
of times. That'll do big, that'll do, that'll do. Okay,
let's talk about these last We've got last two cards, and we'll quickly do
some strengths and weaknesses. Oh my god, Okay, these cards are We've
been waiting, we've been waiting, we've been wackades to play these Yes,
and they're still so bad. Okay, they're still bad. Like we're finally
made it and they're still bad. We are school boying these cards and they're
still bad. Okay, give the first one to read never Ending Torment.
Oh, come on, it's a sorcery for Black Black six or Black Black
four. I'm sorry. Search target player's library for X cards where x is
the number of cards in your hands and remove them from the game. Then
they shuffle their library. That's a mill card FYI, yes, And then
it has epic. And what epic says is for the rest of the game,
you can't cast other spells. Oh no, as of thus, you
can only never Ending Torment your opponent forever. But if we attack them and
hit them for eight, we search for let's just say, okay, we've
got five cards in our hand. Sure, and we hit them for eight,
so we search for five cards in exile them eight times. Yes,
that's still only forty cards. That's good. But now you've left them with
forty lands and twenty non lands. And then next time we do it again
and they have nothing but basics left. They have land. Oh yeah,
you know what's better is you get you get all the lands in their deck,
because if you can hit them for forty, like, if you can
get forty, all their land and all their man rocks and then they can't
cast anything. Then they can't do anything, and it's a miserable slog.
And that sucks if that happens to anybody, and it makes But if the
game isn't gonna end at that time, like somebody's just not playing, well,
the game is over at that point. Well, if you're the only
too left, the game is over. This card is the is the lollsiest
card ever. It's not because we're still playing Eternal Dominion. That's the lollsiest
card ever. Okay, this one is for the loss. Okay, let
me okay, Blue Blue Blue seven ten man Sorcery. Search your opponent's library
for an artifact, creature, enchantment, or land, put that card onto
the battlefield under your control, then shuffle yes and it's got epic. Now
this card's This card's good. Like if I hit you for five or six
and get to search for five things in your deck and I get like an
Ula mogue and a WLD spine worm. It doesn't have to be the person
you hit either, oh M. So like you could pick and choose,
like, hey, I need a yeah, if I hit you with obeca
or you hit me with Obeca let's be honest. You search Alexi's deck for
like Eli Schnorn, World, Spine Worm Shieldred right, like those four cards
are going onto your battlefield. Yes that see, that is a pretty solid
line to win the game with. Now here's the downfall. Always say these
cards are really bad because let's say Obeca dies, because now you can't replay
it and you're stock having one shitty up keep doing one shitty thing, one
shitty time of turn and that's not the best. Yes, sir, it's
a bad feeling. I think the Red Epic spell deals damage equal to the
number of red things in your hand. But we're not playing it, although
we probably could because it would probably end games pretty quick if we have seven
cards in our hand yep which we might might, it's not like you can
play them. Let's cut to some strengths and weaknesses. Then let's get the
hell out of here and drink more coffee. Coffee, yes, yeah,
because it's the morning. Yes, Okay, four hundred and forty seven dollars
deck as it stands, are we gonna call that a strength a weakness because
we can chop this right down to like less than three hundred bucks. Easy.
This you can build this deck. You could do it on a budget
or not. That's a strength. Joey didn't, we didn't skip strength.
That's a strength new hotness. Everybody's talking about this deck because it could be
a very powerful deck. You're gonna see it. You're gonna you're gonna be
part of the silliness that is eight upkeeps. Like that's just gonna be a
thing that happens fun. And if it's you doing it, or if it's
happening to you, that's gonna be fun. Magic the gathering. I agree,
it's gonna be fun magic card time with friends, yes, okay,
access to powerful color combo and access to, depending on your kind of power
altitude, some of the best cards in magic like this. If you want
this deck to just show up to ball with your body's other strong decks,
you can do that. If you want to kind of ratchet it back,
you can do that too. There have lots of room to wiggle here.
Yep. And and I think this is a strength. It's the only deck
that does what this deck does. Yes, nowhere else, So you're gonna
be able to do this. You can replicate it with that one sphinx that
gives you another beginning phase and paradox Hayes that gives you another upkeep sure which
sure like these cards in this deck pair well with those cards also end.
I'm willing to bet we're gonna see Sphinx, paradox Hayes and Obecca in the
same deck, like go to ed dot cam like you're gonna see that.
Yes, okay, I like this one. This is this one is uh.
You might not notice this one as much, but it lets you play
air quotes multiples in that I put a card in my like for Eccine arena.
I put that card in my deck to draw me cards on my upkeep.
Yes, I have access to one Firecine arena. Correct. If you
played Mono Black Country role in Standard in Odyssey Block right, you could play
like two Firecian arenas and and be very happy three cards to turn right.
This lets me do that, Yes, it does. But I got to
attack with my commander, which is something I want to do anyway, exactly
by doing the thing you're already doing, you're gonna do it better. Yes,
let's jump over to the weakness. I love. What's the first weakness
of this on your commander? That was my note. Yes, without Rebecca,
it's over. Yes, the deck is over. I'm going to put
a subrider on that malish Okay, is we're actually playing bad cards? Yes?
Also rely on exactly, so it's not like you can use your shitty
cards to dig yourself out of the hole. Yeah, so I got one
more. Okay, this is like subrider to a on relies on your commander.
It's tempting for me to put eight and nine and ten drop cards in
my deck that rely on my commander, So be careful of that. Kids
like Eternal whatever, right, you're playing those stupid EPA Yeah, and then
they do nothing like you can literally do nothing like I guess I just lose
the game. Yeah. Yeah, so that's sucky. Strengths and weaknesses.
You can do it budget. You can do it lots like the five most
expensive lands Boom immediately cut one hundred dollars off the cost, the Dark Stale
Reactors fifteen bucks. Yeah, and the car Lock Fury of Avernus I'm willing
to bet like you can get cheaper than twenty one dollars for that card.
Multiple combat step cards like and I'm gonna say it again, Aggravated Assault I
got one, I got one more black market connections twenty three bucks and it
doesn't even trigger during your upkeep. Cut it, cut it, got it
lay mechanized production. Oh, copy and chaptman, you can copy your Frexxian
arena. Yes see, those are all I was gonna say. These are
some of the cards that are wait. Copy and Chatment's expensive, isn't it?
No? Oh? It was reprinted in uh uh Eldrain. Okay,
so there's a storybook version of it. Play the copy. Enchantment's a card
that I think is missing from this deck. Aggravated assault is a card that's
missing from here that we could definitely And if you're gonna do aggravated assault,
you're gonna want sort of feast and famine instead of sort of whatever and whatever.
We're playing, yes, which is expensive, but so are the other
swords, so not as much as Okay, yeah, I got you.
But what is it? Body and mind? Like, if you're going to
invest excitement into a sword, you will have less excitement if you Yeah,
what else do we crona zoa? Oh? Yeah, can good? In
this deck? Coronasau is an upkeep trigger thing, right, it's a three
three give us give us your give us a couple upgrades, and then we
got to get out of here or else Joe is gonna jump through the camera
the bleached lens and just shoke us. Yeah. Yeah, okay, so
we talked about assault. Yeah, we talked about Now Cronasau is a three
three I think it flies when you and then it has vanishing and then when
the last time counter is taken off of it, you make two of them
and then those two four replicate, replicate, replicate. Yeah, so you're
gonna get That's a good bazillion flying three three bros, which is really really
cool. And this is the one, this is the one well mechanized productions
talk about that one. First's another win the game card where if you can
trol enough artifacts, you win, and at the beginning of your upkeep it
gives you a copy of an artifact. Yep. So that's just super duper
good obvious include for deck like this. The last one. I'm so pumped
upout this Okay, dragon Master Outcast, dragon Master Outcast, the card that
never worked for anybody ever. Yes, that one. It's finally gonna pay
off one one for one if you have six lands at the beginning of your
upkeep. You make one dragon, but now you make eight dragons. We
make eight dragons the turn we play it. Oh yeah, good, I
like that. Yeah. I like that more than the plug card because plarg
sure it always gets his guy, but A costs five and we have to
do a bunch of other stuff and we're playing our opponent stuff. So what
if they're playing something like shitty like I'm playing, You're gonna get, like,
what a two to three advisor that has no abilities because he's from Portal
three Kingdoms? Maybe, or you could get a six to six drag in
the flies. Yes, I guess that's fine. That's also good. Yeah,
whatever, And then if you have something to solve for team haste,
we could play a world at war whatever the fuck, yeah, and just
give our dudes haste and get you in there. There's this distinct lack of
team with haste in this deck. Yeah. I think when I build it,
I'm gonna have a little bit more of a team. I like mass
Hysteria, All creatures gain haste. I like I like fervor. I like
anger. Yep, Anger not really any way to put it directly into our
graveyard, but a fine card to have if you just want to use it
as a blocker. Yep, yep, very good. Okay, we gotta
thank the business daddies. We do. If you want to pick up an
Obeca, I know that they have outlaws of thunder junction sealed and singles on
sale. Fusion Gaming Online dot Com Ceo save promo code. Obecca's still a
few bucks and you can pay fewer bucks. Yeah, and big things to
all the new subs. And we gotta say, we gotta say, if
you're new to Commander Cookout, go to Fusion Gaming use ceo perks promo code.
When you're spending over one hundred bucks, like if you're in Canada,
you're getting a booster box, or you're buying like a whole deck or like
two cards and it's over one hundred dollars, Cecio perks promo is going to
get you some store credit kickback onto your Fusion account. That then you can
turn around and buy more stuff and buy more stuff with Yeah, that's the
that's the point for them. Yeah, yes, we want to buy more
stuff. Yep. I forgot to mention this. Look at the CEO took
on the on the micro arm. That's producer Gary's took, so maybe don't
smell it, but you can pick those up CEO store. We're gonna have
them in Vancouver too. The winter stuff is all on sale now because it's
not winter anymore technically. Technically, yeah it still. It snowed like six
inches over the last week. Yeah, very much. So here we are,
so final thought of the day. What do you got? You're building
Obeca? How do you feel? How do you feel about the deck versus
how you would build it versus what you think you're going to run into in
Vancouver? The core that we talked about on the pre show. Yeah,
watch the pre show. Okay, we're really thinking about how to make a
better gol dangah. We actually had magic content on it this time about this
deck that we didn't talk about here, so get the whole thing. I'm
gonna build the core, which is just like in here. And this deck
made me actually even more excited to build my Obecca deck because it does all
the Obecca gains actual excited, not excited, actual excitement. It's not just
I have to invest in excitement. But the thing that I'm a little sad
about is I don't actually own any courts. Oh, so I don't have
to go find them. They're sold out everywhere because I'm not the only person
this deck, right, So that's a little poopy, But I'm gonna get
them. I'll find them and if you have any, hit me up and
we'll trade them in. But the point is, I think this deck is
gonna be a ton of fun. I'm really looking forward to playing it.
I'm looking forward to playing against it, and I'm looking forward through those games
where I just get blown out and she costs like sixty five man. Oh,
I just never get to play her every Oh yeah, and I just
have a bunch of duds. That's what I'm doing. I'm taking I'm taking
all my decks. I'm laying them out, and I'm gonna say I'm gonna
add at least one removal spell into every single one of these, specifically for
Uncle Brando's Obeka, I'm gonna beat your bay. Oh yeah, let's not
google that. Yeah, let's not google that. What the point is,
this deck is gonna be a great deal of fun. I'm really happy you've
got to talk about it on the show today. If you have some outlaws
of thunder Junction stuff, you'd like to have featured. We've got a few
in our deck channels on the discord. You've got a couple in an email
inbox. We're gonna be looking through them all. But if you've got something
cool or fun or whatever you want to have featured on the show, send
it in tag me and it will take a look at it, and we're
gonna be back next week to talk about one of those decks on the next
episode of Commander Cookout podcast. In Our Things song
