Here's the comedical Cookok Podcast, episode three ninety seven. I'm Branda, I'm
here. It's Ryan and I We're gonna talk about Ian Malcolm fighting Gandalf now
in our theme song. Hey Ryan, We're back for yet another whirlwind adventure.
How you doing good? What is going down with that theme song?
My whole everything is just it's out to launch a little. My voice is
a little bit tired of and talking all week telling stories from Calgary and Vegas
and all the insanity that happened in between. And since it's Thanksgiving here in
Canada as of today's past after you guys are listening to it. But happy
Thanksgiving anyway to everybody out there, even our American friends. I have a
funny CEO story about that to tell you that you in particular will appreciate.
But before we get to any of that, we have to thank our official
business, Daddy's Fusion Gaming Online dot com, your source for all your gaming
needs, very much so. And I'm waiting for I'm waiting. I'm waiting
for the Lord of the Rings Holiday Edition. That's what I'm gonna call it.
Okay, it's the Lord of the Rings Holiday Bundle comes out in November.
You can get it at Fusion and if you use CCO Summer even though
it's the fall, they're probably gonna make us change it soon. But I'm
not gonna mention it or bring it up. CEO Summer promo code, you're
gonna get a discount on all the stuff that you buy. I want the
next one to be c CEO Slap as I slap your lips off as a
slap some money off the top, as in go into the store and slap
someone about the head and face until they give you a discount, or or
go on the internet and don't commit felonious assault. It's up to you what
he said, Yes, it is up to you. CEO Summer is the
promo code you can get a discount if you're new to the nation. We've
got some new subscribers after Calgary and after Vegas and over the last couple of
weeks. Thanks for being here. CEO Perks promo code is going to get
you ten percent store credit kick back on your order of over one hundred Canadian
dollars or more. Yes, which is like fifteen US dollars. But since
most of our new subs are Canadian, it's it's one hundred bucks. Yeah,
but you're gonna save money with CCO summer, you're gonna get money back.
Then you're gonna spend that money that you save on more. But you're
gonna spend less because you can keep using the promo codes. Last last thing
about it is if you are Canadian, awesome, happy Thanksgiving. It's different
here in Canada for the people who are like turning us off because they don't
believe in Thanksgiving. It's different in Canada than in the United States. It
actually means a different thing. If you're from Canada and you use the Fusion
promo code, they're gonna know that you're in the nation. And I'm not
gonna say they're gonna give you preferred and or faster shipping, but I fucking
am because they're gonna do that. You're gonna get super fast shipping, priority
order filling probably. Yeah. I usually get my Fusion order within three business
days. I made an order while we were in Calgary. Was waiting for
me when I got home. Oh yeah, guess what it was. They
couldn't just hand you the cards in the person, No, because they were
probably stinkers. Yeah, they didn't bring them to the show four foil extended
art and myriad landscapes. Nobody's bringing home you suck it magic. I went
to every vendor in in Vegas, every single one, and not a single
one had it. Yeah, but some of them had fricking dark misprinted Griffin
canyons. Not anymore. You know what's gonna be. You know what's gonna
be the freakin' worst the icing tell me. The kicker to that long form
joke of you and Aaron just having those and me not having them, correct
is is if editor Joe Ever gets his hands on one and can meme on
me on the show, on my own freaking show man. Frick. I'm
not saying that me and Aaron car could probably make that happen, but we
probably could most likely. Okay, we've got some podcasting business. We've got
last week's winner of the Booster Pack game. No, was it last week
or like? I have no idea who I think it's like? Actually last
week because it came from the pre show for episode three ninety six and now
we're on three ninety seven. Okay, I think that's good. Yes,
If you remember we were talking about towels on the floor of hotel rooms.
Yeah, is that okay or not? And we got a whole a myriad
of answers of what landscape to leave your towel? That was shut up?
That was good man, I like that. I like that. Okay,
Well, now towels on the floor, towels and the tub definitely don't fold
them back up like they weren't used and put them back where you freaking gross.
That was one of the answers. Just trying your nuts off and you
leave it for the next guy. This tell smells like grill geez. Okay,
if your name is let me read it hold on Derek four two seven
seven seven. That's probably not your name, but it might be your YouTube
handle. If that's you, send us an email at Commandercookout at gmail dot
com. Let us know if you want a boring ass pack of magic cards,
a super sweet Commander Cookout sticker pack, or or this is my favorite
one. This is my favorite one, is my favorite one? A token
pack of Brando tokens drawn by me for you. Yes, we have the
new tokens and that leads perfectly into Oh, Derek four two seven seven seven.
Make sure to give us your full address so I don't have to chase
you down with full postalines. Code all very important to the address and your
real name. Yeah, I don't care about that. I guess you don't
really need your real name. Yeah, I don't care. Yeah, new
brando tokens. Yeah, they're available on Commander Cookout dot com. Let me
find the store. They're part of the Fall line because they're actually well,
two of them are actually Halloween themed. A pumpkin eating a goblin that's the
food token, and then a zombie a human definitely not a zombie, totally
real human. Use them as a token at your discretion. Those are part
of our fall line, with the tukes and the sweaters and the pomp pom
things and the hunting orange tukes. Everybody that's seen them really thinks they look
sharp because they're orange with like the black Commander Cookout logo on them. That's
fun. Yeah, they're all the tukes look really good. Even even Rebecca
is like, oh, those came out actually really nice. Yeah. And
if you have the orange one and you go hunting for birds or elks or
other things that you hunt, the odds of you getting shot go down.
Yes, that's what they're for. Yes, yes, you don't actually have
to wear orange and to hunt birds or wild hunting bird, but you should.
Well, I don't want to get shot. You're getting shot would be
sixty and let me let me science you right, Okay, Ryan's a science
guy. I'm I'm kind of not. But science says if you get shot,
you want to get shot, not in your head, because getting shot
in the head is probably the worst place to get shot. So if you
mark where your head's at, you're probably less likely to get shot there.
Very important. Can can confirm, right, I think that that that's science,
so sharp agreed. Also science. There's also black ones, which is
the opposite of what Brandon is. Yes, yes, that is also correct.
But if you want to do crime and you cover your head with a
tuke, then people won't know what your hair looks like, which is something
that people might use to describe or identify you, therefore making you better at
crime. Here you go, like shooting somebody in that which guy had the
CEO? Two? Gone? Oh both? Let me tell my Halloween story
real fast. Belton Johnson at work. He's a former writer. Don't care,
good guy, streat guy comes from the Southern States. I calls him
up to talk about his cooking segment that we do every Friday on Everyday Program.
And he says, and I says to him, so you're in Canada,
you've been Canadian for like ten years, but you're from America. Which
Thanksgiving do you do you celebrate? And he goes Brando boom and he actually
said both. It was really cool. I got a kick out of that.
So that's fun, fantastic. Okay, fall line go and get it.
There's gonna be more tokens, Christmas ones, and more Christmas stuff and
new stickers coming out like in November, so they're available for Christmas presents for
people in the nation. All that's coming up. It's just not out yet.
It's part of the fall line, but I'm rolling it out so I
don't drive myself crazy. Also in the comments for Christmas, I'm gonna make
some other tokens to go along with the Christmas themed ones. So if there's
one that you want to see that isn't like super specific, like a merit
lege or something like that, let me know and I'll try and doodle those
as well. Oh, like an angel on top of a Christmas tree or
a snake or some kind of like Christmas specific funny food thing Branda Alters.
They were so popular as a Patreon sign up gift that we decided just to
make it official. I'm really excited about that, and thank you everybody that
likes them. Yes, I'm really proud of them and it makes me happy.
Speaking of Patreon. Okay, we got a couple couple increases and new
ones that need or reneed nicknames. Let's hit them with the truth. Okay,
so we've got an increase. Okay, Matt fluture that's meat flute.
Now, remember there's two of them though, No meat flute and meat toot
because he's meat flute. Two. Yeah, there's Matt and Matt. Flutcher
is meat flute though, right. Yeah, I don't remember if he's meat
flute or meat toot. I don't remember which flutcher came first. They're brothers
or cousins or father son or something. There's two of them. Well,
meet flute, meat toot, meat flute toot. Yes, flute toot,
flute tooot. We have pre she hate you, no king in the nation.
We're happy to have you. Even if it doesn't sound like we appreciate
you. We do. Yes, Second, one. This is a returner.
This is somebody calm back for like the third time, and it's a
callum. Oh man, there's no way we're gonna remember who this guy is.
This is officially Callum stone House is his name, and he's like Callum
Sanity and all the He's got like eighty seven nicknames. So we got to
give him a new one. Oh man, Callum Oh he can? Can
we call him? Did we call him Callum brick shiit House yet? I
don't know? Now we are? Now we are? You know what he
can we call him? We'll call him log shit House because he goes up
north and plants trees all the time there it is, use his leg pine
trees to wipe his butt. Oh gross, yeah, man, it's like
a barbecue. Imagine using bark just to wipe your butt. Well, we'll
have to ask you get like a sliver or some moss up there. Man,
you give yourself an infection? Yeah gross, butthole infection? Can you
imagine whatetions? Oh? Just hot ass not in a good way? Wants
that? No, no, no king shaming in the nation. If you
do want that, yeah, it's fine, Like we yeah, we don't
want it. Though you know. Okay, ah, oh, I lost
it. Frick. What's the other one? Next one? Well, the
next one was thank you for the donations on coffee dot com slash Commander Cookout.
We appreciate it. If you want to donate there and buy your boys
some beer for the upcoming Sidewalk Slam that we were just talking about on the
pre show and the pre pre show that's coming up, Sidewalk Slim season two.
You were going to try and get a couple of our local homies to
uh yep, saddle up and roll to play decks. They're just shit,
never before seen guests. We've got a husband and wife pair lined up,
We've got we've got some fun things planned. We've got If anybody is interested
in showcasing a product or becoming a sponsor, that is always on the table.
You can message us anywhere that you can find in the show notes,
email or Twitter or Facebook or whatever. Speaking of husband and wife, Paris,
I made an Internet mistake and I got a mac. I need you
to get me your wife's Etsy store link again so I can buy that book.
Okay, damn it could have just messaged him. No, I'm gonna
do it here because maybe it's Christmas coming up. The book's cool. I
want one. People out there should get one. It's the ABC's of Swearing.
Yeah, it's very it's super funny, So I figure it's worth a
yep plug here on the world. We'll maybe we'll link it on the screen
or whatever and send some traffic her way. That'd be super cool. And
then I could watch the show. And that means I have to freakin message
Mac now and get him to send me the link so I can send it
to editor Joe. What if Editor Joe just like took initiative and got it
himself. Lol. Yeah, I probably in his eyes so hard. He's
like, these goddamn guys make me do fricking so much. Yeah, sorry
Joe, Sorry, not sorry. So thank you for the donations. If
anybody wants to donate. Christmas is coming up. We're gonna use it for
booster packs for kids, and donations of our own and and and stuff for
the nation, and donarations my first donaor in Calgary. There you go,
sidewalk slam, oh last thing. And then we'll get to some cards and
this is this is a Patreon. I'm gonna call this a benefit I'm gonna
say the second annual Patreon Secret Santa is happening right now, and all of
the people that are organizing it wanted it mentioned on the show because they know
not all patrons use Discord, but all of the planning, all of the
planning for it happens on the Discord Secret Santa thread And essentially people just get
numbers or pick names or however it works, and you build a like a
c Seal Budget deck or or a raw Dog deck, and you send it
to somebody in the male raw dog deck means no sleeves, play it on
the floor. Yes, And I knew that. I knew that this was
a thing, Like I knew that the raw Dog decks were a thing.
And it's fun and they make jokes and they have banged up cards a riffle
shuffle. One card got a hole burnt in it right from the fire.
I didn't know how special and endearing that these were. They're pretty cool,
like people exchanged them and they were hugging and playing. And the funniest part
about these shitty decks that people play on the floor is they freaking slap Yeah,
Like Isaiah Isaiah Jerkranofsky was playing one in Calgary, like a CEO raw
dog deck, no sleeves. He keeps it in a little mini onion bag
which you can get on the Ceco store. Yes, freaking won a pod
with it, and not like oh squeaked it out. No, he like
decimated the spot with this shitty deck. So that inspired me to make my
own raw dog deck so I can take part in it that I have to
build to No, dude, come on, what's what what's the financial investment
in building a raw dog deck? A couple bucks? Wait? Yeah,
but now it has to be all. I could make it out of nothing
but foil chaff, king of the raw dogs, and they're not in sleeves
that a'll be bent different ways, only post modern freaking foils too, so
they so you know that your deck is gonna look like an accordion. Perfect
dude, what if you riffle shuffle them so hard they bend the other way?
Okay, now I'm interested all of the research that people have been doing
boiling cards and flattening them in books and different humidistats and freaking packs of silica
jel. Uncle Brando's got the formula. Just bend a ship out of them
the wrong way. Just bend them the same way. Perfect on the When
all your foils are bent the same way, none of them are bent.
That's some chaos shit, right, that's anarchy. Oh, that's the opposite
anarchy. That's chaos theory. Baby. You know who loves chaos theory,
Ian Malcolm. You know who's on a magic card? Now? Ian Malcolm?
Is that a Is that a Jurassic Park reference? Yeah, that's the
that's the guy. He's on the screen right here. Uh no, wait,
no, there is there is that is that's him? Yeah? I
thought you were making a freaking Doctor Who joked, Man, I suck.
Never seen Doctor Who. But you have seen Jurassic Park like once. I've
seen I've seen Drafts Park three like more than once. No wait, okay,
so yes, yes, the third one, Jurassic Park three you have
seen more than once? No? No, so you've seen three once and
the first one maybe once. I've seen the first one front to back once
and I've seen like the middle of it a bunch of times, and the
second one never, never one I ever seen. I've seen Jurassic World,
I think with the Army guy and money Lady. Don't know Oh yeah,
that's Jraassic World has army guy in money Lady. Oh sure, yeah,
but sure we're talking about cards. Now we're moving into the magic still we're
doing it. See that's a transition. Yeah. So we've got I've got
a few notes Doctor Who. Next week. We want to give it the
attention it deserves after spending so much time on Lord of the Rings and Warhammer
forty k and there's a lot of Who we talked about and apprecial lots of
Hoovian's out there. We want to make sure that we do you justice because
I know some stuff, but I want to actually kind of like bone.
I'm even watching the series that I knew before. I'm rewatching them, and
I'm watching some of the older black and white stuff because it's available for free
on the internet archive. Oh, if you're interested in watching any of that
stuff, I know absolutely nothing about it other than there are people who love
it. You're gonna learn some fun stuff. You're gonna get an appreciation for
it, because there is some very interesting things in Doctor Who is fun for
everybody, which I like about it. I certainly appreciate the cards. There
are some frickin' good ones and some funny ones. And I'm sure once I
really dive into the set, there are gonna be cards that go directly into
decks I own. I know that there's already vehicles that go directly into my
Calamax Vehicle deck, some cool ones, and I know that there's gonna be
some fun stuff for me. But that's gonna be maybe next week and the
following week, because we'll look at the pre cons, we'll look at the
legendary creatures, that kind of stuff. Right as we Oh, that freaking
card's name is Ian Malcolm? Is that the character's name? Yes, that's
the thing. That's man, I suck. It's messing with me about the
Jurassic Part cards because like they have their own set symbol. But are they
like the Transformers where they're gonna be in a draft but they're gonna be in
the packs, but they're outside the real set. And like, Ian Malcolm
is not gonna be a standard card, right, correct? Indominus Rex Alpha
not a standard card. Correct? That card ruined standard. I don't even
know what it does. There's too many words. It's a six six for
five that's got a hundred words on it. It'll rec standard what's let's just
read the bottom paragraphs. I think I saw the words draw card. When
Indominus Rex enters the battlefield, draw card for each counter on it. Holy
shit, Okay, yeah you're right, yeah, yes, And then the
top puts like all different counters on it, like you sacrifice creatures and and
whatever abilities those creatures. Just read the card is the first one we're talking
about. Okay, when at ETBs discard any number of creature cards, Oh,
that's what it is. It enters the flying counter. If a card
discarded this way as flying, the same as true four, first strike,
double strike, death, touch, hexproof, Haste, indestructible, lifelink,
Menace, reach, trample, and vigilance and flying. So twelve different ways
to I mean, you gotta have twelve cards in your hand. No,
you don't just discard discard AA Tallpa. You draw what six six and your
guy is basically an unbeatable creature. You discards THEA Talpa and a chroma Angel
of Fury. Can't you in standard? Those cards aren't in standard, and
you can't play that in an Indominous Rex deck. It's it's green green hybrid,
demere hybrid demeir one hang on a fucking second. Okay, you mean
to tell me that they built a car card where you discard cards with abilities
on them and then excluded white Therefore, the only thing that could raise the
price of a za tlpa from like a dollar to a dollar and ten cents,
really, come on? That is that is rude? Man. I
don't know what's funnier that that statement that you just made or the fact that
you think is a tulpa's worth a dollar? Well, if you go into
a store, they're gonna charge you a dollar because it's in the dollar rare
mind. Ah, okay, correct, if you if you buy them on
the website less than a dollar. If you were to go in and say,
all right, it was a tulpa, the guy's gonna go behind you,
flip the pages of a book. He's gonna pull one out from like
the forty five slots in the page that all have them and dollar. Yes,
yes, yes, so okay, we've got new what did you say,
transformer seeding of some kind of universe beyond thing. Yes, this time
it's Jurassic Park, which fits right in with the dinosaur theme within Exelon.
I think it might fit better than Transformers. With March of the Machine.
I think it does. I think it does. You could play that Indominus
Rex and if you didn't look at the set symbol. I I just assumed
that that card when I saw it was in Exelon and it was part of
the previews that they showed in Vegas. That's because he's never seen Jurassic World
enough times to remember that that's the villain. I remember that now because it's
like super sneaky and can camouflage. It's like genetically the perfect engineered dinosaur,
right, But that's the stick. Well, they designed it to be the
most dangerous dinosaurs. Dangerous equals exciting, Exciting equals money. Wats he taught
us that hot sie. Yeah, freakin'. They're they're meta meta in against
us. That's right, the dominant given us, given us a taste of
their own medicine. Yes, how do we feel about them being in Who
can say? I think that it's fine. I like them not being in
standard. I think just makes it like they're fine. I like when they
do this. I think that this is a good way to do universes beyond
when it's thematically tied to the set that it's being launched in the other way
that we've both expressed that we like it is in its own, its own
thing. If you don't want to engage with the thing, you don't have
to engage with it one bit whatsoever. Warhammer was like that. Lord of
the Rings was like that, even though it was its own set. Doctor
who is its own set. But if you don't want to engage with it,
you can just not don't And and it's not ruining magic when it's done
that way, just like it's not ruining magic when if you never open collector
packs, you'll never see Jurassic Park cards. So if you just want to
open set boosters to try and pull cards that you want from the set,
or if you just buy singles from Fusion Gaming Online dot com, you'll never
see those cards. Frickin ever? Are they? I think they're in set
boosters? Sure, I think that, but who cares? Who cares?
They're in their own slot. You're not gonna lose it, Like you're not
gonna open a pack and go, here's the rare and it's an Ian Malcolm,
Yes, because it's its own slot. So you're gonna get like the
slot you don't give a shit about you can give to your friend who likes
Juraskic Park and move on with your life. Correct, And that's pretty cool.
Yeah, that's pretty easy. It's pretty easy. Let's flip over some
cards because we're gonna talk about the Lord of the Rings holiday thing. We've
got some uh some some manacrypts to talk about. Sot's let's flip over and
show those off. Okay, okay, so we're gonna talk about manicrypt real
quick. We mentioned it before the break, and now we're back. There
are let's count one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven maniccrypts. And I assume there's going to be a regular art. If
this the first one here is not regular art based on the Cavern of Souls,
which we're gonna talk about in a minute, I would think that there
will also be a air quotes regular art maniccrypt as well. Okay, Now,
the reason I think we have so many is there's one for white,
blue, black, red, and green, and it looks like there's another
one with a red pin stripe border that has a different art, and there's
also one with a regular pin stripe border that has what is maybe the original
art. Maybe we'll see another one still don't know, so maybe the maybe
original art or maybe that's the artifact one, and then the one with the
red pinstriping and the yellow art in the green face. Maybe that one is
the multi colored one. Perhaps maybe Oh yeah, yeah, that okay,
I'll buy that. Now, if you're not watching on YouTube, which you
should be, which you should be, Oh, Joe, couldn't turn your
green there, you could turn the whole screen green, baby, if you're
not watching, These look like a classic Mesoamerican or as tech kind of mask
or some kind of motif that would be on this carved into stone or something.
Right, it looks like the mask on the Panini that the dude and
saw ten got his head caught in. Gross. Yeah, well, if
you're familiar with that, yes, that's what I guess it looks like.
Now there's a whole bunch of them, and there's a whole bunch of cavern
of souls. We've been on record in the past saying that we don't like
this because there was that one Jase from like Likeefrey Teffrey thirty different versions of
yeah, and then they were all just different versions of the same kind of
video that they just freeze framed yea and made art from Now this is a
little bit different in that, Yes, they're the same art with just different
colors, Like somebody just messed with the huge slider and photoshop and made air
quotes different art. Yeah, but Manacrypt is like sixty two hundred dollars.
Cavern of Souls is just as much, if not more. It's seventy to
one hundred, depending on how you how you're cutting it, because we have
different arts for those cards, those maybe three digit Canadian dollars cards in price.
I apiate it more this time because they're going to show up maybe at
a higher clip. Do you I remember the last time they did this where
they did all the different colors and like they got progressively rarer based on the
color. I don't know if they're doing that this time. I don't think
so, because they're doing one for each color of magic. Cavern of Souls
can go in one of any color of deck, so can Manic crypt I
like these two card choices in particular because you can run them in casual Commander
Rule zero. You're Manic crypt In and say I'm playing fast MANA and it's
on theme and blah blah, blah, right, And Cavern of Souls goes
in like basically any creature deck or any deck where you have a commander that
you don't want to get countered, right, it goes in any eh deck
that has a commander. Hey, that's that's lots of well, that's most
of them. Hey, holy some have two commanders that have the same creature
type. It's holy crap. So I like these two card choices. I'm
reasonably sure sure, because they're different cards, and they have different collector numbers
sort of there's like ABCD whatever on the on the collector number, they can
show up like the black Mancrypt and the Green Mancrypt for example, can show
up bang bang in the two slots that these cards come in in a collector
pack. Here's what I'm noticing. So I'm just noticing this. They have
different set symbols, they do. Yes, the Cavern of Souls and the
Manacrypt and the Indominus Rex Alpha all have different set symbols. Yes, the
Indominus Rex is a different set symbol because it's like it's a secret layer or
sorry, a universe is beyond products. It's Jurassic Parks. That makes sense.
Yes, the Cavern of Souls has the same set symbol as the regular
cards from the set that I can look at here the excell On set,
and then the Mancrypt has its own different one. Yes, it is the
same as the Lord of Atlantis that was also spoiled, which tells me maybe
this is a what he calls it, like the mystical archive enchanting tails gimmick.
You are correct, they're doing both at once both. This is what
Scryfall is calling special guests. And oh these are neon ink, so maybe
these are gonna be like crazy expensive and everything that I said is just gone
down the toilet. Yeah, that they could be. Yeah, I'm hoping
they're not, because I really like that yellow one for obvious reasons. Yellow
is my favorite color, so I want the yellow one. So we'll see.
I'm hoping that they show up at a rate where I can maybe get
them, But if they don't, that's fine because maybe they'll bring down regular
manages. Okay, well, okay, the first one is nonfoil and foil
like, that's the colorless border one. Okay, great, that'll show up
where it shows up in collector packs, right, And I'm happy that there's
more of them anytime. You can print more manocrypts is good for the whales
you get neon ink manocrypts, and for the people who care about packs having
high dollar, high variants collectible collectibility. Yep, you still get what you
want too. So everything that I said a couple of minutes ago still holds
true. Yep, we get more manocrypts, and we still get rare pimp
flex on nube manocrypts. And the same is true with Cavern of Souls,
and they both are commander both casual and CEDH staples. Can I say in
any other way how much I like this now? No, because you've said
that perfectly well, these these are a great idea. I agree with everything
you said, and anybody that does usually we're doing that, can shut up
because this is good. Can you say it any more straightforward? No?
I cannot. The only thing that I don't think it'll happen because they're mythics,
is you know when you open collector packs and you've done it where you
open up two of the same card bang bang, oh man like card foil
version of card showcase or showcase, and then showcase foil of the same card
bang bang bang. That's not gonna happen with cavern of Souls, though it
could because there's ten freakies other there's the there's the Neon inc ones of each
color, the regular one in the Neon ink art, then there's the regular
one regular one foil, and you get the box topper Lord of the Rings
re skinned Caverns of Souls that come in nonfoil I think from the old boxes,
foil box toppers from the original boxes, and then you get serialized versions
in collector packs all Cavernous Souls. There's like freaking twelve different Kaverna soles in
the last calendar year that you could open up. It's pretty good, and
you can still open them if you go to your lgs and buy some packs,
which is they're still out there to be opened. Let's move on.
We talked about a little bit of draft Spark, a little bit of Ixilon.
I want to talk about and I've touched on the I've criticized this a
little bit on Commander had Populum, but I want to go for it here
too. Oh, I'm going to hit it with the criticism of all criticisms.
Baby the Lord of the Rings Holiday Edition. Mm hmmm. Frames,
tell me what you think. I think they're ugly as hell. I think
that big black stripe on the side looks stupid, and I think whoever approved
that should be fired it is. They should lose their job. It's a
bad look. Their job should be given to somebody who's better at it than
they are. You know what, I don't mind the solid black on the
edges. I think it frames the art nice. It looks three deep.
But why not put just a pin line down there, like even a scrolly
pin line, like the like the l Drain showcase cards. Yeah, like
that's what those sort of look like. Why don't have the art just go
to the edge of the cart? Also? Yes, why why have an
obvious blank space there? I don't know, stupid, I don't know,
it's dumb. Moving on from that, I like the scrolly thing. I
like it look it looks old and high fantasy. Sure, but I can't
get past the black frames. I got some question for you. I'm hit
you with my thing first, I'll go hitch with it. Sure. So
this is the second edition of the Lord of the Rings thing. Yes,
there's new cards bought. All the big pimp high end super duper collectibles from
the first one, the one ring serialized foil salt. Yeah, all that
stuff gone. Yes, So this is like the shall we call it the
revised Lord of the Rings. This is remarkably close to what I was going
to ask you, because this is essentially putting a fucking white border on these
cards, except it's black. Yeah, right, Like that's the first thing
I thought. Oh, they're re releasing the set with fewer high dollar cards
in it. This is the new white border. They're testing to see if
people will just deal with white border again. That's what this is to me,
and I don't like it. That's remarkably close to what I was gonna
ask you. It's funny we hit on the same thing. Is this gonna
be a product that sells? Is this going to be a thing that people
are interested in having? Like we talked about collecting Lord of the Rings lots,
and we talk about collect what you want and maybe get all the lands
or all the mythics, whatever it is. Right, I went after the
entire set, like the lands and the tokens, and the regular and showcase
frames or the regular and extended art frames of the same card. Like some
card I owned three or four of the same card different treatments. These I'm
not gonna go after. I think they're the same cards. Here's the thing
that is kind of hitting me. When I heard that they were gonna redo
Lord of the Rings, I thought that this is this is great because the
prices are pretty high on them, and the single prices are are elevated,
elevated because they were, you know, an expensive pack and sought after product.
Yeah, all the reasons that they're they're worth a little bit more money.
And then I hear they're gonna reprint them, and I thought, this
is great. They're gonna do it again, but with fewer Like there's no
one ring, there's no sel rings like we talked about a second ago.
So maybe these ones will be a little bit less. So people who just
need that last Nasghul y can pick it up and and here we are,
and now you can't. You can, but you're not gonna wanna do that,
because if you're one of those people that's trying to do the complete set
of the nine Nasgul, you don't want one of them to have a scroll
border. Yeah, that's like playing a set of lightning bolts in your legacy
deck and one of them has a white border. It's gonna look terrible.
It's gonna look different now. And if you're filling out your full set of
Lord of the Rings and you're missing let's say a sam or an oath of
ural ah Man, I missed them in Lord of the Rings. Now those
ones that were printed before they're gone. Now they're not available anymore because now
these are the ones that you're printing. So when you're going through your binder
you're full set, you're gonna see the ones that you missed the first time
and had to pick up in the loser reprint. Yeah, and you know
what, they have a different collector number two, so it's like they don't
even fit in in collector number order. Just to clarify, there is new
Nasgul like it's the same card with new art. There is a one ring,
same card, new sorry, new frame frame frame, same art,
new frame. There is a one ring. There's no one of one the
one of one ring to promotional sell a million packs in one day ring.
Correct. There are no serialized reskins of Soul ring in this product. Yes,
there are serialized reskins of some lands that are they're there. Those are
there, But the I think the big selling points from the initial run of
Lord of the Rings are not present here. Now I want to get into
something with you because me, hey, go to scroll down to the bottom.
I shan'n't. I want to talk about the secret Layer, I guess,
or the weird art, the the like the the sixties concert poster treatments
not my thing, not your thing, not my thing. Are there any
that you would play in noorin because I look like a concert poster for a
led Zeppelin concert instead of instead of like a magic card? And there is
a one ring in there that you could play in Norn and it would make
your deck better if I had one. I if I open one, I
will play it in Norn. I'm not gonna seek it out because that's gonna
be an expensive ass foil. Oh yeah, and it's double rainbow foil.
Hey. Yeah, there's a Dawn of the New Age. There's a Gandalf
the White Storm of Saramon watcher in the water, which I like with his
big stupid eyeballs. There's a shadow of the Enemy. These are all concert
posters, right which King of Angmoor? I do play that? So again,
if I find one, I'll play it. But Hugh, the ent
Wood, Spiteful Banditry, Last of Last March of the Ents, Radagas,
the Brown Erragorn, the uniter a Owen or Arwen Arwin. We can't even
read, can't even read that. You know all the cards, you know
what card this is, and you can't even say what card it is?
Like that's the I appreciate the artistry of them, but I think overall,
like these cards have too many words on them to be this difficult to read.
Man. This is the This is the modern day equivalent of the no
text cryptic command. Oh that's a good take. Where you a cryptic command?
Oh what does that do? Well? It draws me a card,
encounters or spell what? No it doesn't. No, it taps all your
dudes and draws me a card. No, no, no it doesn't.
No card does that? This one does well? This one just you got
to look it up, right. But like when you look at the Witch
King of Angmer, like, you couldn't even show that to somebody and have
them figure out what the hell that does. Look at the tom Bombadill text.
It's like size point one font, the anduro font, the glamdring one
looks cool wats them look cool, They're super cool. I want the poster
of Sour on the Dark Lord. That's a cool one that is neat that
like, they look good, like if you had a concert poster of these
hanging in studio CEO, or if if anybody wanted to, I don't know,
send them and we'll put them in like the you know wherever to hang
them up behind us. If I had a dollar for everybody that said,
oh, look there's a mountain for you. Brand don't know. That's Mount
Doom. Yes, the main thing on the card is the word mount Doom
and it does kind of look like mountain mount to oom, right Like,
so I think that they're neat, they're they're cool, but they're not for
these are not my thing. I think that many people are gonna say that.
I think if you crack one of these in double Rainbow foil, you
immediately put a sleeve on it and oh yeah, sell it or get it
graded, because these suckers, like the one ring, the one ring in
double Rainbow foil is going to be ridiculously expensive. Oh yeah, it's it's
going to be obscene and man to get to get one of those puppies,
graded like higher than nine nine or higher, and turn around and sell it
for like a thousand dollars or more. You're in good shit. That's gonna
be cool. Who these are going to be for, I think is is
people who already play Tom Bombadil and know exactly what he does and want the
the fully pimped Tom Bombadil deck. Right Like, if there was a Noran
Reeskin and and he looked like one of these, it's the not magic cardist
looking Noran that you could get. And I would if there was an animar
one Reeskin frick as soon as it's available, I have it, right,
I mean I would. I would. I would mug people for it.
I love the artistry and wish that I could alter magic cards like this.
You can every Thursday on our Facebook page. You can see I probably could,
but man alive to do it. To do art like that that small,
that'd be challenging but cool stuff. Well, then again, they didn't
do it that's small either. They exactly they did it big. Let's talk
about the scene cards. Scene cards. These are the new cards that come
out in the Lord of the Rings. It's not just a reprint set that
had to throw in some new cards for people like you who already have the
full set, and they want you to spend more money. I was just
gonna say, I have more money in my wallet and I just hate owning
money, and they just they want it, they want it. That's that's
the joke. Now these I think you buy these by themselves, like you
buy this, like you buy this Aragorn Hornberg Hero. And can I just
say that any card from the Lord of the Rings set that has alliteration in
its name, I am just rock hard for it. Because Tolkien was an
a literist, Like that's what he did. He translated and wrote poems in
a literative verse. So let's give Aragorn Hornberg Hero a freed but he's a
four to four for Naya and one human soldier. Attacking creatures you control with
wait on, let me try that again. Attacking creatures you control have first
strike and renown one. I don't care what renowned does. Whenever a renowned
creature you control those combat damage to a player, double the number of plus
one plus one counters on it, yes to become renowned. It's like a
triggered ability. When a creature with renowned one deals damage to a player,
it gets a plus one counter on it and is now renowned, which means
it will not become renowned again. Correct, But with Aragorn they will continue
to renown themselves. Oh man, I love renounding myself and over, sometimes
twice in a row, double ing the counters on myself. That's pretty good.
That's a fine card. You build around that with all of the cards
that we're going to talk about and do real Narsil reforged. This is one
of those cards where if you don't know Lord of the Rings, that just
is gibberish. Like when I read a Warhammer forty K card, I just
have no idea what that is? What does that even? Is that?
The sword? Is that his hand? You have to look at the picture
to know what the hell they're talking about. So this is an equipment for
two and equips for three legendary. It's got a send. So if ten
emanents you ascend, Yes, whenever equip creature attacks, put a plus one
plus one counter on each creature you control. If you have the city's blessing,
aka, you've ascended. It's just stupid everything. Hey, why doesn't
it just say if you've ascended, put two counters on each creature instead,
it kind of gives me a blade of the butt cheek. Yeah, es,
but for everybody, and for very little work. It's so easy to
ascend in eh, it doesn't even make sense. This card. Might as
well just say whenever this creature attacks makes your team faking big, you might
as well just say that. That's a that's pretty good card. It's a
good card. That's a good card, very good card. I don't think
it's as good as this card, though, Lego this as quick reflexes,
Dude, this card is going to lead to more blowouts than any fricking card
in this set. Green instant split second meaning it's gonna happen untapped target creature
until end of turn against hex Proof Reach, and whenever this creature becomes tapped,
it deals damage equal to its power to up to one target. Creach
Man. It's pretty good. I can attack and then untap my own guy.
I can untap my own guy and block. I can use an ability,
untap, use that ability again and deal damage. This card freaking is
It slaps and it's got split second, so you can't even do anything about
it. It's very good. Well, this is on the stack. Nothing
else goes on the stack until this is off the stack. Yeah, it's
freaking good ass card right there. Then we go on to not a very
good ass card, and Gimli's reckless might is an enchantment for red three gives
your creature's haste. That's good, yes, as formidable whenever you attack,
if creatures you control have total power eight or more, targ attacking creature you
control fights up to one creature you don't control. I don't think that's very
good. Ah, it's fine, yeah, Why why not one guy gets
like double strike? Oh that'd be better. What do all your guys get
double strike? Oh? Now we're talking, yeah, right, like haste
and double strike though, ooh maybe not. Well, you already have guy's
power eight or greater. You're probably stomping somebody's face in any way, I
suppose, right, Yeah, come on, you gave legless an Arragorn a
good car. Then Gimli just got the short end. O. That's why
they did it. He's short, short, bunch of asshole. That's just
all that. That's real, harsh Watzi, come on, come on,
you can do better a bunch of bullies. I'm not mad, I'm just
disappointed. That's right. I'm disappointed. Papa Ryan's Madrick Geez, go to
your room and think about what you've done. Watzi know what else they've done.
They've unleashed Eyesngard. Oh is this one good? Uh? Probably not?
Actually, this one's good. I remember reading this one and telling Rebecca
that it's good, and she didn't care because she doesn't play mad. I'll
be the judge Red Red Red two sorcery damage can't be prevented this turn.
That sounds pretty good. If a source you control would deal damage this turn
to an opponent or a permanent opponent controls, it deals triple that damage instead.
So that's a one turn triple damager. But and it flashes back for
Red Red Red seven. So if you've got lots of man and you cast
this and then you flash it back, do triple and then triple again.
Yes, if you have twelve manna and dudes that attack, I guess you
could do lots of damage. Is this just? What's what's the ritual?
Mana equal to tap lands your ponents control. It's on the Manaflair. Man
If you go Maniflair and then Eisngard unleashed, I win is that just a
combo if you have dudes, because you only need one guy, well you
got to hit everybody. I need three guys and they need no blocks.
Shut up. I thought you'd like this card, you and Mac. I
thought you'd just be rock hard for this card. I actually don't usually like
cards like this because there's such an investment to play that you're out of resources
to do whatever you're going to do next. You got to have the board,
and then this is kind of like the win con. This kind of
feels like insurrection, like stuff has to be happening. But this is like
a this is a win more card to me because the odds are if I'm
in a situation where I can just pound somebody into the floor by doing triple
damage, I can probably pound them into the door, the floor doing regular
deck, the floor and the door. Yes, I could play seven Manna
instead and give all my dudes double strike and take an extra combat instead of
doing this probably quadruple damage. Probably you don't need to cast it then flash
it back. Probably you just win by paying five yeah with the team Yeah
right, And I think that that still makes it a really good card.
It's a fine card. I just it's not pumping my nads as I like
to say. I wonder what the math is on how much damage Mac is
gonna do in his Jessica's Balls deck, because you know he's gonna triple damage
with Jessica and then he's gonna triple damage with this, and then he's gonna
flash it back. You know that that's gonna happen, and the damage output
is gonna be like seventeen trillion. Well one would be turned to three,
turn to nine, turn to twenty seven, so every one would he twenty
seven and he's gonna do like forty times twenty seven, whatever that number's I'm
I'm just throwing numbers out there, and it's gonna be fun. Row herem
Chargers. Okay, okay, this is this when they blow the horn and
they run out of Helm's Deep and they're running them all down on the bridge.
Yeah. And if you look real close in the movie, you can
actually see Arwin in there because they forgot to take that scene out from when
she was gonna actually be at Helms Deep. That's fricking real. Yeah.
Okay, so check this out. This is where HEREM Chargers White Red two,
Human Night four to four, you may exert row hear them chargers as
it attacks that I'm just tired and one on attack. It's like it's putting
a stun counter on it. There we go. I suppose it's like making
an attack extra hard. Yeah, yeah, so you extra hard attack when
you exert a creature, reveal cards from the top of your library until you
reveal an equipment card. Put that card onto the battlefield attached to that creature,
then put the rest of them the bottom of your library in any order,
so it kind of cascades into an equipment. Do you play this in
the we only play one equipment, Yes, and it's Behemoth's sledge or the
big one that gives plus ten plus ten. And you have an infector that
you exert. Yeah, yes, well you can't exert. There's no infectors
that exert. You have to play shitty creatures to make this good. You
speak in my language, because all the creatures with exert are not They're not
terrible. There's one that gives you an extra combat combat celebrant is a good
one. Good one. There's a there's one that's a removal spell. That
one's not too bad at four. As a creature is there things that let
you exert where the card otherwise doesn't have it? No, No, not
that I'm aware of. I mean, there might be from ammanket. If
you know it, let us know in the comments. But I'm not,
off the top of my head aware of any cards that just give your creatures
exert, because what would the exert be like put a plus one plus one
counter on it. Nobody's ever gonna do that. Yeah, well, I
suppose if you can air quotes tutor for an equipment, maybe you tutor for
like a sun forger, and it's the only equipment in your deck, then
you tutor for instance and sorceries like there's in that regard. It feels a
little bit like birthingpod dot creature. Find the thing that tutors for more things
and you just do go through the chain. It's probably fine, it's probably
al right, Although then you're cut off from playing other equipment in your deck,
I suppose, and it's a human night that just gives you card advantage.
Maybe you slot this directly into your aoin pre con deck. If you're
looking to upgrade, probably that's what you do. Let's be one of the
next scenes that's the Helm's Deep battle scene, right, is that what that
was? Yes? And then we're gonna go to This is the Galadriel blows
up Dogldore scene. This is my favorite scene because the art is absolutely fantastic.
I don't remember Galadriel ever getting into a fight this. This is at
the end in the appendices of Lord of the Rings. You mean to tell
me it didn't happen in the movie, correct? So this is fake?
This is from the imagination of Wizards of the Coast. Fake news, yes,
okay, but it's on the internet, so it's real. Okay,
all right, you'll take that exploient. I'll accept that. Sure. So
the first card in this scene is Arboreal Alliance, and it makes a big
tree folk and when you attack with elves, you populate, so you make
another one of those great big tree folk. That's a fine. Oh it's
an enchantment though, yeah, enters a battlefield, create an x X big
guy. I actually like cards like this, like things like gut or grime,
and like an enchantment where you just have the permanence kind of worthless,
but you can pump a bunch of man into it to make a thing.
I like stuff like this Yeah, there's that Nissa that's like that too,
that like matter, like her loyalty matters. I like stuff like that.
Yes, And for the people who are unaware of how this works, they
changed the rule around X in the casting cost and ETB triggers because when this
triggers, X actually equals zero again. But they changed how x's work for
ETB abilities back a couple sets ago when there was a commander that did this
smart So you get a big guy and it goes in your elf deck.
So does that mean if you're gonna use like a like a pernicious deed,
is this two or is it twelve? Two? Okay two? But when
it's triggering, it's when it's on the stack and you have to counter target
spell with manocost x. But when it's in play and it's gonna make another
thing, doesn't it, Well, it doesn't make another thing, doesn't make
another thing that populates. Yeah, so it looks at the token that you
have now, Yeah, glad real light of Vallen or. I really like
this art, dude, this art, this card. The thing that this
card cares about. Everything about this card is the Gladriil that we wanted and
didn't fricking get will let me name the colors, christen me with Galadriel,
I shall be the judge. It is a three to three elf noble not
advisor forrick Green, White, blue two has alliance Whenever another creature enters the
battlefield under your control, choose one that hasn't been chosen this term. And
can I interrupt you, sir? Sure? Remember that green, no,
white, and blue really are really good at blinking, both with spells,
and I don't know creatures that enter the battlefield. Yeah, okay, so
let's just keep that in mind. Ability one at green, green, green,
holy shit. Ability to put a plus one plus one counter on each
creature control, like those those elves that you played to get green, green,
green, to make more elves than you. Choose that one last,
so they all get bigger, also correct, very good, and the last
one is scry to then draw a card. Holy mother asked. This card
gives me great henge vibes, it gives me manna, it gives me card
advantage, and it gives me a way to win the game. Man if
it drew you a card, this would be better than great hendch Rando read
all the words on the card. Does it gain your life? It doesn't
gain you life. Doesn't gain your life, but it does draw you a
card which I would gladly take that trade after your scry to great hands draws
you card. This card gives me great henge vibe. It draws you more
than one card. This card is freaking good. It is a good card.
It's a very good card. Next one up is rally the Gladrim Galathrium.
There's no in there. Yeah, but don't give me this DH makes
a sound. D does not make a sound. It makes a D sound.
Tell them Tell that to the Gaelic speakers. I can will actually in
Gaelic. It makes a V sound, I think anyways, Galavrim Galaphyrim Galathrium,
Rally of the This is blue green two sorcery create a token that's a
copy of target creature you control, and it got conspire, which means as
you cast this spell, you may tap two untapped creatures you control that share
a color with it. When you do, you may copy it. I
like that. So it's a clone. I like it. That's a clone
where you tap two guys and clone two guys double clone, double clone,
or for and tap two if I find one of these, I will probably
put it into my animal deck. This goes in your animal deck. Yes,
this is very good. I can clone clones with clones, and I
like that I can clone the clones. Oh yeah, there's so many clones
I could use in a sentence because I'm using two clones to clone the spell
that clones a clone. Yeah, baby, you're cloning the spell that clones
a clone. Yes, man, clone, clone clone. That's right.
I like that a lot. Like the word clone has lost all meaning.
Next card. Oh, that's like double clone seption because the clone isn't it's
not even a thing until it clones something. That's right. That's why I
like them, all right, Galadriels dismissal the spell. Oh yeah, those
orcs are having a bad day. That's it's white and an instant. I
don't even know what it does, but i'll bet you what gets rid of
a creature. Let's let's see what it does. Target creature phases out.
If this spell was kicked, each creature target player controls phases out instead,
so they leave the battlefield. You treat them as if they didn't exact,
and then at the beginning of their controller's next upkeep. They appear back.
They do not re enter the battlefield. They're just back now, yes,
and tokens don't disappear, yes like they used to back in my day.
Okay, so phase out your blocker attack you, phase out all your blockers
attack you. And the kicker is white too. Yes, so it's formana.
So it's it's path or wrath depending on what you want to do.
Oh, or or it's counterpath or counter wrath. Right, phase out my
whole team, sure, fase target creature, Yes, target creature. I
can you go wrath of God? I go phase out my whole team yep.
And then they come back and phasing doesn't care about summoning sickness or vice
versa, so they come back in and I go wrath me eh fricking die.
Ye here everyone punched out that card. I think that card's sneaky good
because you can use it offensively or defensively. That's a cool card. You
could use it like, oh, attacking me with your like giant Commander or
your ten ten flyer or whatever. It phases out. Yeah. No,
not man, that that card's good. I didn't realize how good that card
is. I mean, it's no path. But it's good. But it
counters your path, but it's not as good as path. If you encounters
when somebody's rocking you, you you want to path that creature or not phase
it out because you're just gonna get smacked by it again. Next turn Man.
But it's good. I'm not saying it's a bad card. Very good
card. Don't like the art on it though, Oh no no, I
think that one guy in the background kind of reminds me of Max Crandell.
I like it slightly. Yes, me too. The next card is Mists
of Laurian. It's a sorcery for blue too, with replicate blue, which
means you can copy it when it's on the stack. You blue, you
just pay blue, and you can copy it as many times as you pay
Blue. Right correct, Okay, Return target non land permanent and each other
non land permanent with the same man of value as that permanent to their owner's
hands. This card is crazy. This card is good if if you go
like blue, blue and two, you can bounce all their tokens, every
token in play. If you go blue blue or yeah, Blue blue two,
you go like bounce every token and everything that costs three or two or
whatever the thing you want to get and then incidentally it gets all the other
thing. Yeah, you just have to make sure that each other non land
permanent. You don't get your own stuff unless you want to get your own
stuff again, just like freaking Gladyro's dismissal, you might want to get your
own thing, bounce your own stuff to counter arap, get your own Gladril
back, and then you cast her again without command tax and then you can
take advantage of her ETB triggers again. Sure, why not, brick Man,
This card's good. Last card in this particular scene, the fake made
up, super duper scene that was never in Lord of the Rings. Yes,
Gladrim brigade. Oh they're brigading. So it's a two to two for
Green two with squadron green one. That means you can pay green one to
essentially replicate this. This is kicker, but just for guys, and it
has other elves you control good plus one plus one, So you go green
two green one to squat it. You get two of them. Then for
five mana you'd get two three threes that give all your other elves plus two
plus two. Right, if you pay seven, you would get three three
threes that give all your other creatures plus three plus three also correct. When
does the math become very good? Probably it's seven, right, because then
it's kind of like overrun. Yeah. I think it's pretty good at five,
honestly five, because it's a perfectly acceptable. At three, it's a
perfectly playable, perfectly acceptable card. At five, you've got a discount.
You've played two of the same card on the same card out of your hand
for one scout for one less mana than the two cards would cost individually.
Yes, Yes, and all your guys get swall Yes. So I think
this is a very cool card. It's not exciting, but like it's cool,
it's solid, it's very good. You could replace any other elf lord
with this. If you have anything says elves you control get plus one.
Yes, you replace it with this. Yes, and this would trigger a
plus one on each creature you control from Galadriel, and it would give you
green green green to cast more elves. Yeah. Oh man, that frick
That Galadriel card is good. Next card. Next. We have two more
scenes and not very many minutes, so we're gonna just blast through these ones.
What you know what, Hey, I'll do this sometime, because I've
been asked to do it. Sometime, I'll do a Lord of the Rings
live stream and we'll talk more in depth about the scenes for people who want
that. Okay, okay, but we're gonna just we're gonna knock through the
cards and give the a the name Good Card, Bad Card. We're gonna
play right now. Oh I love Good Card, Bad Card. What is
this scene we're looking at here? What is this ship? This is Battle
of the Pelenor Fields where Gandalf comes out and like shoots his like light jerk
off on the on the nasgul guy to make a flyway. Okay, this
is Oluran's Searing Light. A Lauran's Searing Light is an instant for Blue,
Nope, Frick, red White two. Each opponent exiles a creature with the
greatest power among creatures that player controls neat. Each player gets rid of their
biggest guy, also spell mastery. If there are two or more instant and
or sourcy cards in your graveyard. A Lauran's Searing Light deals damage to each
opponent equal to the power of the creature they exiled. That's a cool one.
Yeah, that's gonna get I don't know four, five, six,
but randomly it'll get them for twenty. That's a good one. That's a
good one. A sorce source squall is a source ree for Blue Blue Boo
six. This is my favorite card in the scene, Babe with dell target
opponent mills nine. Then that player's grave. Wait, hang on a second.
Then you may cast an instant or sorcery spell from that player's graveyard without
pay. It's a man of cost if the spell be put into graveyard exiled
instead. So Blue Blue Blue exile six pieces of trash from my graveyard.
Mill you for eighteen in bruvac, and then I cast the best thing in
your graveyard, regardless of whether I milled it or no. If it's in
there, I'm getting it. Ramus echor ancient shield. This isn't a shield,
it's a building. Okay, sounds made up, but I'll take it.
It's white three for a legendary artifact. Whenever you cast your second spell
each turn, draw card, then create a zero three white wall creature token
with defender at the beginning of combat. On your turn, Creatures you control
with defender gain exalted until end of turn. That's fricking good. That's a
good card just for its first ability. Yeah two spells. Draw card and
sure, sure, I have to write a thesis before I can draw card
in white, but I'll take it. Yeah, that's that's not bad,
courageous resolve. This is not as good as people think it is, but
it's give it a read. Let's do what it is. White two for
an instant up to one target creature. You control games, protection from each
of your opponents until end of turn. Draw a card and its fate flour
If you have five or less life, you can't lose the game this turn.
You can't lose the game this turn, and your opponents can't win the
game this turn. Oh, I can't lose the game. Twice, it
says that twice. If you, oh, you can't lose life this turn.
You can't lose life this turn. Can't lose life or the game and
your opponents can't win. That's now. Remember if you if you can't pay
the life or lose the life, you can't pay the life, right right,
So you can't like neckro potence, your whole frickin' everything. Yes,
that's one thing. Second thing, you're not gonna be at five life as
often as you think. Unless you already are putting yourself at risk, you're
probably already dead. I'm gonna tell you right now. If you're at five,
you're already dead. So I don't know. This card's fine. It'll
see playing the Lord of the Rings theme decks, they're there. Gandalf of
the Secret Fire is a what is this three four avatar wizard for colorless blue,
red, white, legendary avatar wizard. Whenever you cast an instant or
sorcery spell from your hand during an opponent's turn, exile that card with three
time counters on it instead of putting it into your graveyard as it resolves.
Then if the exiled card doesn't have suspended game and suspend, this is fine.
This is fine. This is a couple things. It's Jess Guy suspend
time counters, which is already a deck that you're adding white to right instead
of joyra It's this now and you get white. Sure, but this is
also a really clever way to tie everybody that came for Lord of the Rings,
tie them into Doctor Who, where they very much will care about time
counters. Timey Whimy is a deck. Remember food in el Drain is very
much a lead from food in Hobbitland. Now we've got time counters in Doctor
Who tying together with Lord of the Rings. So the universe is beyond and
the regular products are mingling to keep people engaged and say, hey, this
goes in my time deck, I'm gonna buy and spend more money, more
money. Last card in the scene is Fell Beasts Shriek, which is a
sorcery for blue and red. Each opponent chooses a creature they controlled, tap
and gold the chosen creature, and has spliced onto instant or sorcery blue red,
colorless two and splice means whenever you cast an instance of sorcery, you
can play these splice onto cost, reveal the card from your hand, and
then the spell that you spliced it onto gains that effect. Can you imagine
that you don't have to? Did you ever imagine that we would see splice
back? Can you imagine this ever being spliced onto anything? Ever? Each
opponent chooses a creature they control, tap and goad the chosen creatures. I
like that card, it's cool, but are how often you're gonna splice that
onto something? Cost four to splice it, But you're goading three creatures.
It's pretty good. I can go three creatures, but playing a land you
know what, you know what deck? This is going to go into the
frickin' the is It deck that is gonna play all of the ops and the
ponders and the considers and all of the the one man of ritual. It's
gonna be that is It deck, and you're gonna just go to everybody and
gold gold gold, sure, sucky. Last thing. We're gonna go extra
super duper fast for this one. Sorry, Joe, because it's my favorite
ones. We have to talk about it. Yeah, we'll talk about it.
Joe's okay. If we go a couple minutes over and for again the
people who want it, I'll talk about it again on the live stream.
Call Forth. The Tempest is a sorcery for Red Red Red fives. You
better win the game. Cascade, Cascade, We're on our way. Call
Forth. The Tempest deals damage to each creature your opponent's control equal to the
total man of value of the other spells you've cast this turn. Can you
imagine if you have a repercussion with this card, you're gonna do like sixty
damage to people. That's pretty good. Can you imagine cascading into something that
has cascade and then having call forth the Tempest see all of those cards.
Can you imagine paying one man and just playing a blasphemous act. Oh that's
pretty good. Yeah, this one feels win. It's cool again, it's
very very cool. Yes, and the cascade cascade very very cool. This
but this services the cascade deck players, right, and I am one of
those players. So this is my favorite card from this scene. My favorite
card from this scene is not this next card. Oh, but I will
read it anyway. I got you there, I got there. Nasghoul Battle
Mace is an equipment for five that equips for three. Equipped creature has menace,
death touch and annihilator one and because there has to be more, whenever
an opponent sacrifices a non token creature, put that card onto the battlefield under
your control unless that player pays three life. So this is like El Drasi
Conscription Light along with suky turgrid ah no equipment, yes, I guess trid
or itipy trays. It's like the little El Drasi that could. Yeah,
yes, it's trying hard. El Drazzi Mace eight MANA it's probably good.
It's fine. It turns your brash daunter into an itipy trays brash dunder is
so good. That's good, that's good. It's your favorite one. Nope,
Which King Sky Scourge is a five to five for seven, so it's
got my attention. Red black five flying. Whenever you attack with one or
more wraiths, exile the top X cards of your library, or X is
the total power. You may play one of those cards this turn and it
has undying. That would be my favorite. If it wasn't red, which
is a which is a sentence you will never hear me say again. If
it was just black or blue, because that's where my Nasghuls live in black
and blue. Adding red to them doesn't assist me in any way. No,
but that card's car it's very powerful. Nothing wrong with it. It's
a good card. Oh good art too. Hey how the tail of the
fell Beast kind of frames him? Yep, Yeah, like I was,
hand goes just off the screen. So what's he doing? Yeah, what's
he doing? Oh he's playing that little old Drozi that could make So there
we go. Neat morder of the March? Is this your favorite one?
Certainly is not morar on the march. You heard me, Yes, Red
Black three Sorcery, exile a creature card from your graveyard and create a token
that's a copy of it. It gains haste until then to turn exile and
at the beginning of the next end step and it has storm that's kind of
like graveyard clone. Yeahorder graveyard clone. That's that's gains haste. It's pretty
cool. That's kind of like threatened, but from the graveyard. Threatened dead
guy, it's a freaking storm man. Ritual, ritual, ritual. Steal
all your freaking dead guys, yep, or my own dead guys. Yeah,
no, it's just our guys, just my own deck. Well that's
fine because I'll just put guys that I want dead in my graveyard. Just
get like a freaking raz cath and a bunch of ring races, ring rates
and sourn play it in obecca and just keep them all. Man, that
should go on my suron deck. I leave him in the graveyard. Get
them back pretty good, kick your ass with them. Here's my favorite one
fell Beast of Mortal, Fell Beast of mortor is it Drake Beast three three
with flying for Black Black two and devour one. Whenever a fell beast of
Mordor enters the battlefield or attacks target, opponent loses x life and you gain
x life, where x is the number of plus one plus one counters on
it. I like it because I can turn all the slugs that I'm making
with my talks Real into one giant bro that will then gain me life to
keep me alive because everybody's attacking me because I'm playing talks rel This is kind
of like Gary, but I got to sacrifice my guys instead of having Gary
and this both care about having lots of guys. Yes, this guy just
eats them yep, and then kind of does the same thing. I like
this guy. This is a cool card. It freakin' flies. Look at
the art in the background and also his exposed like eye sockets in his skull
where the reins of the witch king r are in his exposed eye sockets.
But then he's got eyes underneath to some body horror right there. Yeah,
that's some fricking weird stuff. I bet you self conscious about that in high
school. Probably. Yeah. Well it's okay, last card and we're out
of here. Is meanest more googled Dark Fortress legendary land enters the battlefield tapped
so far, it's a piece of shit. Taps for black, that's fine.
Black three tap put a shadow counter on target creature for as long as
that creature has a shadow counter on it. It's a wraith in addition to
its other types. That goes inraith dot deck. Sure, right, if
you got like nine or more wraiths or all nine nines, it's pretty good.
It's fine. That card is not very powerful though, No, that
is probably the least powerful card in that scene. Yes, but goes in
the one deck. It services the one deck. It's fine. Yeah,
it's good in that deck. And I'm okay with not every card being a
powerhouse that I must run. And this is one of those things we're talking
at beers at EH and M last night where it's like if you've there's certain
lands where if you have it, just just play it. Put it in
the deck, right, you've got one, just like, throw it in
there, like the shink of the blood soaked keep. It gives a legendary
creature first strike. If you have it in your binder, just play it.
Yeah, there's no reason not to play it. This is not that
No, it doesn't do anything unless you care about wraiths exactly. Yeah,
so I would maybe put it in my sour On deck because I just have
incidental wraiths in there. It's not a raith deck. I would put it
in my talks rel deck because I play a bunch of raiths in there.
Yeah, that's where the wraiths are. That's right. Is that where your
Talksheral deck is now? Yep? Oh neat Yeah, card of the week,
talks Reil. Those are the cards we wanted to talk about this week.
