On on on ah. That was the longest we are rolling by producer Gary
in the history of rolling. Yes, of the history of the damn basement.
We are here. It's fucking basement, man, and it's hot.
It's supposed to be cool in the basement. Not a chance, But we're
here. CEO pre show episode for four field four for four. Yes,
holy shit. Yes, we're brought to you by the wonderful patrons at Patreon
dot com slash CECO podcast, whether they like it or not. And we'll
say the duffer An Avenue Media Network Studio studio. What sure, because like
we're we're here, We're in the basement, yes, which is a place.
I guess it does mean we are physically present at the facility. That's
true, only in body, only in body. This is CECO after all.
And classic deck tech a. Yes, we're gonna talk about a deck
from yester years. Is this like the last kind of Is this like the
last one that kind of took over, like was so prolific through several formats
And we haven't really, we haven't really talked about it on the show because
I don't think it is. I don't think it is. I'll tell you
I'll answer that question in a secon, but I've gotta I've gotta tell you
a couple of things first, Okay, tell you a couple of things.
Okay, I got some rave and resounding reviews. Are our podcast on the
longer pre show last week and short turnaround time, so we don't have a
pre show winner. Don't turn it off yet. Yeah, we're gonna play
the booster Pac game. But everybody liked the the audio version and the longer
pre show, so I don't know if you want to keep doing that or
not. Well, we can keep doing then when we have stuff to talk
about. I guess and you're shooting the ship. Okay, So the last
back to your question, the last like deck to do the thing that this
deck did? I don't think so well, just like I mean like the
deck like this is. I can't say what it is or we'll give away
who we're trying to guess. When you're trying to play the guessing games,
you have to guess the commanders that you can win stickers and tokens and maybe
magic cards if you really hate winning. Yeah, I guess today though you
got to guess the deck. You got to guess the deck, and it's
a very popular archetype that started it's pretty long ago, like this arcat that
has been around for a very long time, and it has a Actually this
deck, it's been a pretty good reputation for having stuff in it in its
colors. That is. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on
hold. We're going to talk about this deck, but we're not going to
say the name of it. We're not going to say the colors of it
because that gives it, that'll give some of it away. You gotta let
us know what that deck is in the comments below, like YouTube style,
get on there if you're listening to the audio version, because I'll do an
audio version. You got to get onto YouTube and let us know. Okay,
so be victorious. You will win if you play yeah and shout ut
to YouTube members that actually do that too, like who go on and like
instead of Patreon, they pledge on YouTube. Fantastic because that helps me,
like condense all of the things I gotta do and check in a week.
It condenses it and that helps and it helps keep the show going. So
okay, this deck has been a deck longer than it's had its name,
right, because this deck existed before it got its name, and it got
its name in the set and block that it it was a thing in Standard
right oh yeah yeah, and one one of us invented it. All that
is pretty brash of locally. Oh, I was the first one to play
it, and I didn't get it off of the internet. Okay, So
if you're a longtime CECO listener, you know that's I have mentioned that.
Okay, it's one of the few times I've like stumbled into a deck that
was like actually good by just like mashing things together. It's pretty cool.
I got one. I got one in this deck. It was famous for
value nah out valuing people. I don't want to say much more. That'll
do it, But I do have another hint, but it's very obtuse.
At the same time that this hint, wait a second, is hint At
the same time that this deck was like running amuck in Standard, I was
playing like white Blue Enchantments with Sigil of the Empty Throne as the finisher.
How'd you do well? Not good? Yeah? No, not very well?
Hey, not good? It was the deck during the same time you
were doing your thing with this deck. My deck name was Stabilize that too,
Yes, that was bad. Yeah, that was bad. I I
kind of went on a run after that of just playing limited, oh man.
But then it was into car Limited and one of my favorite limited formats
of all time. That's another that's another hint you just gave. Oh yeah,
yeah, after the thing that we're talking about car Limited, big hint.
Yes, yeah, hey, let's talk about that for a minute.
Let's not talk about the limited form I have something that I'm going to bring
up to you in publics that you have no excuses. Oh Joyce think don't
need a shower? No, no, you're your sweaty but cra just it
just smells in here because it's the damn basement underneath a fucking recording studio that's
full of dudes. Man, That's why it smells. Smell everybody's butt a
once. Man. The point is Amsterdam happened, yes, right, yes,
and there's a pro tour there. Yes, Nadu took it down.
Okay, okay, oh yeah, the bird guy bird is the word took
it down? Okay? Was it modern? Yes? Oh, I was
gonna say, was it a commander proto? Absolutely not, because we be
on that obviously. Anyways, The point is the deck has a callback to
a previous deck called Cephalid Breakfast. Ye, lots of people I assume have
at least heard that term before and soul cephalid breakfast uses cheerio things that cause
zero, et cetera, et cetera. So people have been calling this deck
fruit loops. That makes sense instead of cheerios, because there was like fruity
pebbles and their Cephalid Breakfast. There's a whole bunch of breakfast named legacy decks,
for example. Right so now, now Nado, who looks exactly like
too Can Sam, is the cornerstone of the most powerful modern deck as of
the recording of this episode. Okay, and they're calling the deck fruit loops
and I have yet to see on Thursday on our Facebook page, and to
do with a two can Sam painted on it. And I want to know
why, So tell me Montel. I have no excuse. I'm waiting to
die. See Okay, there's no reason for him not to do it,
and he admitted it right here on the internet. I expect expect to see
it on Thursday on our Facebook page. I'm stupid, you are smart,
thank you, I am ugly. You are very attractive. That is correct.
I have a tiny Wianer. Your Wiener is like three popcns stacked on
top of each other. Scientific facts. Huge producer Gary says, do you
have aen to do? Actually? The reason that I didn't, the reason
I've never painted one on the Facebook auctions yet, is because I get a
lot of those cards just from people at the lgs like, hey, paint
this will be awesome. I get some of them by ordering them at Fusion
Gaming Online dot Com using Cocosa promo code, and I crack some packs and
I paint what I get. Yeah, that's why I don't always have all
of the staples. Here's where we're jerking the curtain back, as Gary calls
it, to kind of the insider kind of secrets. That's why I don't
always have all the staples, right, she didn't open it to do.
I did not open one, nor did anybody want to just give me one,
because I think it's like twenty dollars or something. Is it pre pro
tour like when I was ordering. Yeah, they're not inexpensive, that's true.
Yeah, So that's kind of why. Plus sometimes like when people come
to try and get affordable alters, because I do pride myself on being like
the most affordable professional altruist on the internet. Right, if you're not getting
like bad ones on eBay, And when the auction has to start like at
a way higher dollar value, like a fifty or sixty dollars starting bid because
the card is from like Modern Horizons three and it's an eighty dollars freakin' umag
or whatever, then people are like a little hesitant to start the bidding because
like it's a way higher starting amount. Right, you could call the deckdut
loops loops, Okay, yes, And the only way you get to call
it nadut loops is if you have a two can sam na do? And
since everybody else is sleeping on it, you boy ze here at CCO podcast,
got you covered, is all I'm saying. It's like six, I'm
six z's in there. Oh yeah, Do you have a ND Of course
I do. Can I have it forgives for keep? No, damn it,
of course I have a nad Okay, I'll get the nado from you,
my dude out, pay some fruit looves on it good and from when
this is recorded and then when I paint after I have them to do and
then Thursday rolls around. I cannot guarantee that it's this Thursday, but it
might be next Thursday or the next one from wherever the fuck the show comes
out, because we're recording out of a sequence, and I have no idea
well, recording in sequence, just on a way earlier day. And we
were recording on a Tuesday before a Tuesday at five a Tuesday night. Yeah,
what is going on? Man? It's so sweaty. It's like the
first nice day that we've had, like all summer. Yeah. Usually,
and here's another curtain jerker for everybody that's interested. Usually we record on Saturday
mornings. Longtime nationalits will know that, and it's like cool, calm.
Mostly we're hungover, but we're troopers, so you can't always tell unless we
tell you. Yeah, and uh, breakfast beers from Pilo Bones Brewing cole
Yeah, very important, very important for us on those days. Yes,
it's key to getting us up and running. They have the best chocolate stout
I think I've ever had. It's delightfully and this is not me like advertising
for them, because that's like kind of our job, but they, uh,
they got a good chocolate stuff, and you got to pick it up
now because you're not making it no more so, I know, I know.
Okay, So when we go to Regina, that's why I bought a
flat of it last time that was down there, a flat flat. I
bought like like one of those little flat box ye. Yeah, like it's
got like they got the tall cans with four in it, right yeah,
and there's like and there's six of those twenty yeah, twenty four of them,
yes, yeah, correct. So when we go to CSO Experience in
Regina in September, are they going to have it? I sure hope something.
You know what, I don't know if I would get a stout in
the afternoon after a bunch of sweaty magic plan all day, I certainly would.
I think i'd get like nice crisp, like prairie lagger, just like
you could pound like fifteen of them. No, I want something that's so
thick I can use it to oil my engine. You're going to say,
as yeah, I don't need that. No sweaty, Yeah, I'm sweaty.
I'm sweaty enough already. I don't need to loop it up. Geez.
So, first day after the Assassin's Creed episode launched, like the review
right the not review Keel. No weeks ago, our good friend Keil,
the coolest guy to come out of Regina, comes to me and says,
hey, if you need me, like if you want to have somebody on
or talk or whatever about like Assassin's Creed. He's like, I know everything.
I love jerking off Iszi or whatever his name is, right, good,
good, callback, that is the right name. Yeah, And that's
that's what he told me. So I said, well, we recorded one
already, like our first look, and I said, uh, if we
need you, we'll let you know. So then we do the review.
Didn't didn't talk to him at all. I just swept him under the rug.
And then he messages me. He says, yeah, you a bunch
of idiots. Should have got in touch because I could have helped you with
this or this guy's name or this. I could have told you about the
bird or whatever, right yeah. And I was like, well, why
I know about the bird. That's the guy that I knew. And then
he's like I'm five minutes in and I'm like, these guys are idiots.
These you guys don't know anything. And I'm like, yep, I've been
doing it for eight years gel. Yeah, we're not gonna We're gonna stop
there. So there might be something coming up with Keilan the in the future
maybe. Yeah. I talked to him a little bit on Canada Day,
which was chronologically yesterday. Yeah, So was he calling you a dumb ass
about Assassin's Creeping. No, he actually sent me a video of Assassin's Creed
three and order the name with the colon in it. Oh yeah. Now
I still don't know how to say that word, but it means it's what
it's It says, is Connor Connor. Too bad his name wasn't Colin because
colon and colin. Yeah, but he just sent me a couple of videos.
We were chatting back and forth. It's like, maybe that's something that
we can do, Like we can see if, like from a fan's perspective,
how accurate or how pumped or how many big beats did they hit,
Like yeah, like you're a big fan of Lord of the Rings for example,
like they hit the fellowship, they hit the big flaming eye, Like
did they miss anything? Were the characters that weren't there? You know,
maybe that would be something interesting to look at for future universes. Beyond that,
you and I are not. Yeah, we got to get the nation
involved. We'll put it out there like on the discord or all message.
Like I'll just do like a group mass message out to like the patrons and
put it on Facebook and put on Twitter and be like, hey, check
out these polls. Are we can create a survey? Didn't you hear to
work do that? And it was like so super successful? Loll yes,
and no, we can say that even though we're in the damn network because
we're not affiliated. That's right. Producer Gary's like he's less affiliated with him
than I am. Oh yeah, yeah, I suppose they can't. Oh,
but now we got them, and now we're suckered him into the nation
and when he'll never leave. Doesn't he have us though? Like word in
his digs? Now I guess. So we're in the dungeons. Yeah,
right, that's where the fucking basement. God damn it. Okay, I
want to go back to Assassin's screed just for one more second and talk about
talk about Keel again, because he's he's like chirping me like I should have
got him or I should have known or whatever. Okay, if he was
offering to help, I'm going to reverse this a little bit double flip it
reverse like Missy Elliott style. What Yeah? Sure? So if he was
willing to help, he had to have assumed that the guy with like the
K G K Colin in his name, he had to have known that we
were going to have trouble with that. Why wouldn't he be like preemptively telling
us and wanting to help and like recognizing where we might be tripping like hazard
recognition? Right? Have you ever seen workplace safety? Keel? Have you
ever seen a kid fall just eat shit? I've got a six year old
boy. I've seen him do all kinds of things that involve falling down,
and you laugh at him all the time, mostly every time. And you
know why, It's because it's funny when people fuck stuff up. Right,
If you told somebody, oh, watch that first step, as opposed to
is watching somebody carrying a trayful of dishes just eat shit and fall down the
stairs, stars, is way more funnier than like, I'll step over though.
Okay, So imagine that we are to keel like a waitress bringing an
entire tray of beer is toss the best thing ever? Yes? I don't
know if I could go to that. Well, he loves the nation,
He loves Commander Cookout. He looks forward to it every weekend. He wants
to see it be successful. It brings him and his friend's enjoyment for hours
and hours and years and years and years. Imagine seeing us fall down,
get hurt, try and get up, slip and wet beer, fall down,
piece of a handle of a schooner stabs me in the neck. Can
you imagine what he must feel like, knowing that he could have prevented all
of that that scenario, would just say, that is the only thing that
I want. I want that to just be every YouTube video now it's just
us eating shit and getting just falling, just mugs falling on us, mugs
of beer falling into my mouth. Oh but like in a good way to
yeah, or the I don't even care. Look at some points, you
know, I'll just it's good beer man, Just look it up off the
floor, like I don't even care, you know what, when you're hurting.
Just that's that's how we roll in the nation, all right. I
suppose, yeah, yeah, I was gonna make a whole bunch of jokes
about doing stuff on the floor of places that you drink beer, but it
was on the counter for me. Yes, yeah, we're gonna leave it
at that. We're gonna leave it at that before we end up given the
listener of an aerial disease. So this is four it is. Guess the
deck that we're doing. Yeah, name of the deck, not the archetype,
not the commander, but the deck. The name of the deck.
And I think that we gave enough hints. App I think it isn't the
is it's not the archetype that you don't have, just us the title of
the deck. No, but yes, not the name of the deck that
we're doing, but the name that this but the name of the deck,
like, just freaking guess it, like they understand. They're they're, they're,
they're they're Like Burne is the name of a deck. Dark Depths is
the name of a deck. Cheerios, like we discussed it, Sephalate breakfast.
Yes, I like saying that, saying that, Yes, yes,
you guess the name. You'll get entered to win. Leave it in the
