nerd grease, hold them together. Yeah, hey, man, hot and
sweaty, sticky nerd grease. I was watching a movie last night and I'm
just sitting there and I'm watching a movie and it was fine, right,
and then I gets up and I go to brush my teeth. Before bad,
I'd blood all over my face. Oh my eyeball was bleeding. I'd
like blood coming like not my eyeball, but like right underneath my eyelid here
there's like this, I don't know, there's just this like a little little
cot and then bled all over my face. Did you blade yourself in secret
just to like make yourself like look tough, just to remember how what it
was like. No, no, just it just kind of happened. It
was real weird, very strange, and like, but I look pretty hardcore
thoughs I like blood? Or was it like that horror movie moment when your
face just starts bleeding and you don't know why, and it's because like you're
possessed or something. Maybe you got a demon inside you. It could be
taking up residence and it's just like, you know what, I'm I'm gonna
f with this guy screwed enough? Yeah, because I have already sucks.
I'm living here. Oh yeah, I just wallow in the misery. And
if you got possessed or like if a demon was inside you, they'd be
like this guy's got creaky old joints in a bad back and I can't make
its head spin all the way around. Screw this. Oh yeah, well
that's getting old. Yeah, that's what's getting old about. Yeah. Anyways,
speaking of getting old, we are old enough to have today's deck submitter
be a longtime CEO National. We're gonna get to him in a minute,
but first we got to thank the new CCO National Lights. Okay, we've
got a returner. We've got returning to our Patreon support team. Is that
that's not a very fun way to say that. Yeah, that sounds terrible,
but they're back. They're back, and we appreciate. Patreon dot Com
slash CEO podcast. The two best benefits. Benefit one is getting your CEO
nickname. Of course. Benefit two. Actually there's three main benefits. Benefit
two is the CEO Discord where you could submit decks and chat with all of
the best members of the nation. That's an actual benefit, yes, highly
recommended. Often is it? Maybe once a month I get told that CCO
nation and our discord in our community is the best one in magic because it's
true, not just personally to myself, but sometimes it happens publicly, like
on Twitter or somebody will like make a Facebook post, Hey, like checkout
Commander cookout. They're actually like the best guys in magic. There you go,
there you go. See that's benefit number two. See benefit number three
an invite to CEO experience. Ah, yes, cargo is the next actual
benefit. That's pretty it's the Shit Fountain, probably Chicago in February. I'm
not so sure that that's a benefit. No, it's to be great,
but it is going to be great. We've got drivers lined up, we've
got budget for they're checking out where our airbnb is. It's pseudo within walking
distance, weather permitting. In February, there's it looks like a trendy kind
of hipster area. So there's like pubs and bars and restaurants and stuff like
within a block of where we are. So maybe we'll do that for a
supper one night or or all the nights. Yeah, But there is some
budget for one of our Cecio executive chefs, All Filler, no Killer Miller
Aiden to cook us a supper and him and I have been talking a little
bit about that. But if we don't, maybe the budget just goes to
filling the fridge entirely with beer. Yeah, which is also par for the
course at the Cecio Experience. Correct, because last time I checked, your
boys like to drink beer. Yes, for breakfast and lunch and dinner.
Correct? And yes, yes, yes second breakfast Yeah yeah, eleven z's
yes, are there any more hobbit meals that I'm missing? Probably there's six
meals a day. There's two suppers, two suppers, lunch, breakfast,
breakfast, seconds, second breakfast and eleven z's we did look at that.
We're good man, we're smart. Yeah, how do they Why don't they
grow up? Why don't they only grow out? I don't know. If
they eat so much, you think that they would eventually grow up. I
don't know. Why don't you? Why doesn't your body turn into dust?
Because it's old? Same physics. Force of will, yeah, force of
will. Anyways, we got new patrons to think returning one Israel Garcia.
He's back like that guy. Yes, I think probably probably a cam girl
name Garcia. Maybe he's Colombian. He's got a big booty. Is he
the real Garcia kind of thing? Yeah, that's one. We've got a
new one and both of our new ones potential celebrity relations. Probably not though
not it might be. But that's the thing though, Like we've got so
many celebrity relations in the nation, like lots of famous people potentially potentially they
play baseball or they are wrestlers or famous actors. This one could be brother
or relation of Miranda Lambert, famous country singer. This is Nick Lambert.
What I've never heard of this Miranda person before? Pseudo celebrities. What's his
name? Nick? Nick? Nick Lambert, Banjo Nick. We gotta make
like a country music joke, don't we do well? I don't know.
Is Milanda Lambert even a celebrity down in the comments if you know who that
is? No cheating Nick Lambert, Dick Lamb hurt. Yes, is a
country music reference, because that's right, okay, next one man. You
know the thing about Deliverance, like everybody thinks that like the dueling banjo's thing
is the creepy thing, and then I'm gonna make you squid a pig boy
is super funny until they see the movie and then it's not. I don't
know what the movie is. Deliverance, Oh doing Banjo's actually really cool.
There's like this great like country music scene like playings that sounds like something that
we'll get canceled if we talk about it's a movie. It's everybody knows this
movie. And the squire like a big boy thing is like imagine a hillbilly
coming across Burt Reynolds in the woods in the seventies. I'm not gonna say
anything other than that, and it's exactly what you think it is. Who's
the next patron run next one Devon Kneelander, pseudo celebrity William Kneelander for the
Toronto Maple Leafs, potential brother potentially never never heard of him. He's good
good this year. What about what's his name? William William William Kneelanders,
the hockey player. Ah, yeah, this is his less good shitty magic
playing brother. Okay, Devon Devon Devon. One guy plays in the NHL,
one guy plays magically. Gather which one costs more money? Will?
Considering that William Knelander probably makes more than seven figures annually. Na, what
you make means nothing, but it offsets the cost, Now it doesn't It
still cost the same. If you make three million dollars to do something and
it will cost you five hundred dollars to do it, yes, you're up
money, but you've still paid five thousand dollars. Yeah, but but the
point is you're up money. Yeah, but the cost is still Devon Kneelander,
Evan, Devon Evan. How about how about nih Land? I bet
it's Nylander, which sounds like Highlander. What if it's Neil Hander. There
can be only one Neil Hander. Neil Hander, Neil Hander yeah, yeah,
that's what I said. If you if you have to ask, you
can't afford it. Devon Handy, he got there. He's a handyman.
Yeah. Why would I want to become a handyman just going around giving anybody
handies. That's a trailer park boys joke right there. Yeah, okay,
Devon Handy, welcome aboard and you for being very much all of you.
He joined like in the evening, and let me tell you, when you
go into the discord, you get finger blasted, like everybody in there gives
you middle finger memes. And he joined in the evening and just got blasted.
Every orifice was stuffed with fingers. F you, buddy, CCO Nation
Baby. Yeah that's it. Okay. So the final big thanks we got
no just before that, coming up, probably just before this one launched,
is the first of Hot Bruise. The Hot Bruise on CEEAL Media Group.
How do I want to say it? Hot Bruise on Cecio Media Group by
CEO John. I'm calling him that Cecio Brando, Ceco Ryan Cecio John doing
the CEDH coverage. It's good. He interviews another creator called cobble Pot and
he's doing teamer Cedh that color identity all month. So if you want to
learn lessons from CEDH, watch it on Commander cook Out. You're still learning
to the penguin. Yes, you're gonna learn all about CEDH all month this
month, teamer, watch it. I'll link it up here, I'll link
it down in the show notes. Freaking watch it the last thank you today's
deck list submitter. Okay, Cio Nationalite for over two years. Sorry,
CCO Nationalite since episode ten, so that's like four years, ah, like
six six years. Jesus patron for over two years. This one of our
first ever nicknames. Yeah, this is Alex Ortez, pseudo celebrity, David
or Tees's brother maybe Okay, played for the bunch of baseball teams Big Pappy,
Right, that's what I thought his nickname was Little Pappy. Then he
goes, No, my original nickname Alex cam Girl, tease or Teas.
Yes, yeah, that sounds that sounds like something we'd say. Yes.
Yeah, So who do we got barrel worm speaker? Yeah, barrel worms
speaker. That's why we're getting our worms twisted. That's that is exact.
That's why the worm is turning because it will be our turn, and we
will make the worm. Oh yeah, I was thinking something else. Yeah,
no, yeah, let's think it about sham in the nation William Handy
again. Yeah, I know, but uh but but here we are.
This is a three to three human druid for green green two worms you control,
get plus twopless two and have trample Jesus. Yeah, and you can
pay green and seven and tap him to make a four to four worm.
This ability costs x less to activate, where X is the greatest power among
creatures you control. So it's a worm deck. It's a worm deck.
Now, worms we control get plus twopless two, and we make a four
to four. So it would be a six to six, Yes, a
six six for eight. But once we have one, it would make another
six six for like two two. And if we've got something that's seven or
bigger, make a six six for one. Yeah. That's pretty good.
Yeah, that's pretty good. You gotta have big mana though, right,
No, because it only costs one. Well, but for the first one,
or to make your first big worm. Oh yeah, so let's wait
a minute. Wait, Oh, among worms, I was among other creatures.
You know, it's among worms you control, because I was like,
wait a minute, He's threes this automatically because yes, yeah, among wormies,
among big slimy one eyed worms, I think we're gonna play any of
those. No, we are not playing Uncle Brando's favorite card, favorite twelve
drop. We are not is it twelve, fourteen, twelve or fifteen a
town worm? That card sucks. We're also still play that, do they?
Oh yeah, they probably don't, probably do No, yeah, No,
we're also not playing Uncle Brando's other favorite card, Draco. Right,
but I do have a challenge for the nation that I will work up to
and give at the end of the deck tech. Okay, challenge for the
nation at the end of the episode. Let's flip over to cards. Let's
find out how we're gonna make ramp in the deck. Okay, so you
wanted to make magics to play worms, Yes, magics magics in this case.
Now our our deck list has three ramp sections. Yes, you're gonna
need lots of man we need lots of big one eyed worms. Now you've
said ramp we will start there. I'm gonna read all of them, and
then we can go back and hit the ones that you think need hitting.
Do it all, right? We have Traverse the Outlands, tempt with Discovery,
Silvan Scrying, Skyshroud Claimed, Seedborn News, Rangers Path, Niss's Pilgrimage,
Migration Path, Kudama's Reach, Explosive Vegetation, and Cultivate. Oh,
those are all three, four or five drop ramp spells that search for more
than one land. I think that's the point, right, with the exception
of Seedborn News, which untaps your land at the beginning of each players start,
yes, like, okay, traverse the outlines, five drop, search
your library for basic land equal to greatest power Amunk creature Control. Right,
yeah, right, so you could potentially search for six and then you got
like Niece's Pilgrimage, Migration's Path, Explosive Vege, those all search for two,
Cultivate, Kodama's Reach search for two, but one goes to your hand.
Right, So the manna cost of these spells is at a higher altitude.
It's not one drop two drop mana rock. Yeah, And we're not
playing like Liquid Metal Torque and other two drop mann rocks like signets and stuff.
The one two drop we are playing. Silvan Scrying finds any land,
yes, and we do have lands that in this deck make lots of manner.
This one finds nicks nicks, those shrine to nix or whatever. Yes,
that's what that that's what that finds. And we're also playing tempt with
Discovery, which I don't really like, but it does search for any land
and potentially multiples. It does, but it also helps your opponents and often
what that'll do lands and they're all gonna get a wasteland and just kill your
land. Yeah, would I like better than that? It costs one more
and I can't remember the name of what I like better than them finding wasteland
is me saying I'm gonna find wasteland and then they find like a basic so
I can't waste land them. But actually they put their basic down first and
I just plopped down my Nicholas. Anyways, know what you put down is
wasteland, strip mine and ghost quarter if all of your opponents search and thos,
yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But I like the
there's one from Amancat that lets you find two lands and there's some they coming
to play untapped if you have a desert or something. Oh yeah, yea,
but that's a good one too. Yeah, it's a solid card.
Does the thing anyways, So now we also have Let's go to man At
Doubler's next, and then we'll talk about rocks, because the rocks are hell
of rocks. Man A Doublers. We have Caged Sun, Nick's Bloom,
Ancient Silvalla Hart of the Wilds, which we should probably talk about, and
Zenda Car Resurgent, which is also worth a look because it draws cards when
you play creatures and gives you an additional manna each time you happy basic for
Mana, let me summarize, yes, Zendakar Resurgent, Mana Doubler, play
a creature, draw card, Nick Bloom, Ancient Mana Trippler, Caged Sun.
All your guys can get big Mana Doubler, Selvalla Heart of the wild.
Whenever another creature enters the benefit of your control, you may draw a
card if its power is the greatest among the power of creature you control.
It's not you control that works for everybody. What creature comes into play.
If it's the biggest creature, whoever played the creature draws a card, Chances
are it's us. You know what, Somebody played a Silvalla on me once
I drew three cards off of that thing is awesome. Nice. You're gonna
have to check out Sidewalk Slam episode two of season two to see a Selvalla.
It's not the commander of the deck, but it does make an appearance.
Solid Solvolid. Also green tap at X manna of any combination of color,
where X is the greatest power among creature you control. Man. I'm
glad she got a reprint. Hey yeah, oh she's an accessible card now
yeah, sort of still eleven bucks. We're going to talk about that in
the budge section. Also Nick's Blume Engent. I know it's here because it's
also a big dude. But there is an enchantment that does the same thing.
Yeah, less easy to kill for your man of investment. And it's
got an adventure on it, right, adventure search for a land. And
then it's a man of tripler Virtue of strength. I believe Virtue of vitality
one of the two. Yeah, it's the green one. It'll be on
the screen if you're watching on YouTube. What should be yes. But I
think in this particular situation, we already have a ton of big, giant
dudes. I think that a harder to kill mana tripler might be a idea
or an upgrade we could make. Also, I believe the virtue costs less
than the twenty four dollars of a nix Blome engine. It does. I
can confirm this excellent and our last three make Man of spells. Oh no,
never mind, we have four more after this, Oh Jesus. Cost
reducers also are Patriarch's Seal to talk about in a second. What sol Ring
and the Fairest, the most balanced, the absolute most medium magic card in
history. Brash Hunter, great hands? Oh great Hands is not handsome?
Oh you're powerful? Yes, yes, because it's totally balanced. You know
what. Sidewalk Slam season two, episode two, You should watch that if
you'd like the greate hands too. Same guy, same guy played that.
I tried to kill him. Did it work? No? No? No,
he he got me? What a guy? Well you we're not gonna
talk about that. Yeah, we're not gonna talk about that. Yes,
everybody knows. Solring patriarchs Seals is a three drop Mann of Rock task for
one man of any color, or you can tap one and it to untap
a legendary creature we control. So that could be a commander to make more
worms yes, or it could be a solvalle to make more Manna. Man
I like that card a good one. That's a good one. If your
command he's got leggi leggie activating ability. Yes, that's a good one.
Yeah, yes, And then the Great Hands does everything in the world.
If we read it to you, you wouldn't believe us. So we're gonna
move on to the cost reducers. Man I still don't even know what that
card does everything. So the cost reducers are incubator yep ron asses monument.
Yes, that makes uh choose a creature type. Creature costs two less.
That's incubator rone ass monument. Green creatures cost one less. Whenever you cast
a creature spell tart creature gets plus two and tramp ski and tell it to
turn. It's pretty good. We'll skip over one and come back to it.
Emerald medallion costs makes of green things cost one less, sir, and
monster manual. Hey there we go, so this Hey this has got another
adventure zoologically zoological study green two sorcery adventure mill five cards. I don't Yeah,
there we go mill five cards. Return a creature mild this way from
your g t or h that's fine. That's graveyard to hand and also Monster
Manual's got green one tap you may put a creature card from your hand outo
the back. That is the ultimate cost reduction. Yeah, that's like,
that's like Elvish Piper. Yes, Elvish p Elvish peep lvp. I think
it even costs the same. No, Elvish Piper's just green. No like
to play to put into play. Oh, yes, I think it's.
Yes, this is this costs you one extra on the on the activated ability
over Elvish Piper, because it also could potentially draw you a card. Yes,
you could also if you didn't want to pay eleven dollars for this,
eleven dollars for that. Yeah, hey you could do. Is it Quicksilver
Amulet? Yes, it is is the same effect is put a creature from
your hand onto the battlefield. And I believe it also costs four I think
so. I think it does. Ye, so that would be a fair
So I think I think there were out of ways to make mana There we
have it. So we have eleven, fourteen, eighteen non land cards all
dedicated to making magics. So half the deck essentially is making mana Wow.
Okay, let's not. I mean elephant in the room. Huh get it?
Yeah, the elephant cock in the room is worms, and there's lots
of them and they all cost lots. But let's figure out first how we're
gonna protect them and pump them even bigger, or potentially find the ones that
really are gonna win us the game. That is the protection section, Planes
walkers, We've got a pump section and a tutor section. Let's start with
the protect section because it's what I'm looking at on my screen right now.
Sure, start with Vigor. Hah, y goer. This is a six
drop six to six trampler. If damage would be dealt to creatures you control,
you prevent it and put that many plus ones on it, and if
Vigor would die, you shuffle it into its library, ghost, your graveyard
from anywhere whatever. So you can't get it with your Monster Manual Adventure correct
in Cool, Well you could you could because the Vigor trigger bigger trigger,
bigger trigger will go on the stack and it won't resolve until all of the
block of text on zoological study correct resolves and then you could get Vigor back,
and then it's driberry. Anyway, I like that also vigor one of
my favorite pictures in magic. Oh, there you go. It's a big
half turtle, half oxen with a bird on them. Yeah, very cool.
Here's a card that probably nobody knows. Oh, bro catabatic winds?
What like? What did brando? What do you? What words are you
saying? This forty nine cent gem from Visions is most likely available in a
dark misprint with a double black layer. It's an enchantment for green two with
phasing. You know what's good already. Creatures with flying cannot attack, block,
or use any ability that includes a tap in their activation cost. Yeah,
so it shuts down flyers. Sure does that a little bit. Seems
like a meta choice. But also worms don't fly. So here's the thing
with and I'm I find this with my tan of the butt Sewer deck.
Yeah, the bane of my existence is that one big flying creature. Oh
yeah, that just beats me. Yes, right, So cards like this,
and there's a few of them coming up, and we'll talk about them
as soon we get there. These cards are important, especially if you have
a flying heavy metal, which we don't even really have. But it just
takes one, It just takes one. Well, you know, what and
I hate, but I don't hate to keep going back to Sidewalk Slam Episode
two. That's coming up is how many times did Alex flip off the top
of his deck like a flying creature? Right, and he was going to
die, but he's just got like, oh, I'll block with my flyer.
I'll block with my flyer. And that's like, man if if somebody
just had a catabatic wins because you know, it's totally a staple and its
phasing. Well, hey, let's move on to the next card here,
because it's while the next few actually, oh yeah, gravity, well is
the next. I love this card. Whenever a creature with flying attacks,
it loses flying until dturned. It's an enchantment for green Green one. Love
it dense canopy that it gives me very much seventies bush vibes, Yes,
yes, seventies afro bush. Absolutely dense canopy is an enchantment for Green one.
Creatures with flying can't block creatures without flying because the trees above them two
dense Yes, yes, that gives me o. Natural armpit vibes featured on
this cards are the only true form of snakes, meaning they have four arms,
two legs, and hair and in the background if you look, I
think there's some worms. Dude. Um man, those snakes probably got four
hairy armpits instead of two. That's right, gross. Yeah. Next we
have Death's Presence. Death's presence is an enchantment for Green five. Good thing
for making man I hate Yeah, buddy, whenever a creature you control dies,
put X plus one counters on target. Creature. X is the dead
creature's power big yes. Yeah, my six six worm now twelve twelve yes,
yes, and the last one is Bouer passage Bowel passage. Yes.
After talking, man, I freaking missed that and I quit. You should
quit magic forever. Don't just quit the podcast. You have to sell all
your magic cards and quit. You will have an empty void in your life
so long and forever. I have to collect Lego or something. Yes,
Green one enchantment. Creatures with flying can't shit. They also can't block creatures
that we control. Yes. I also like raking canopy in a deck like
this that does four damage to a flying creature. Yeah, so when they
attack, they die, yes, which is cool, but they can still
block you. But raking canopy is also fun. Yeah, I forgot about
that. One. That's the protect sex sex. Sure, let's do the
pump section also, because you know we totally need to pump our creatures.
And you've got one uncategorized random sorcery that we will read here too. Well,
let's put it in with the worms because that's what it does. Oh
okay, it makes worms, so yeah, you're right. The pump spell
is unnatural growth. It's an enchantment for quadruple green and one. At the
beginning of each combat, double the power and toughness of each creature control.
That is, each each combat. Every single game I've ever played where this
card was present, one of the four players myself included. This happened to
me once. I said, wait a second, that happens every single combat.
Yeah, and then the whoever played it's like, yeah, at everybody's
combat, we're gonna double my guys until end of turn. Yes, end
of turn. That might be important for some people, but yes, more
so the four four worms were making with baru or eight eighths. Now no,
they're twelve twelves because barrel gives them plus two yeah yeah, yeah,
oh ship. At the beginning of each combat, double the power of yep
man. That is a fair sized creature. Yeah here, let's let's let's
leave man, Can I talk? Let's read our one single planes walker p
dubs. No, he's a card draw spell, so he will lead us
into card draw. Oh look at you go. Okay, so you've got
planes Walker is Garrick primal hunter. He's a three loyalty Garrick for greencren Green
two first ability make a three to three beast for plus one. That's that's
a fine ability. We're not gonna undercut that. Correct. Minus three here's
why we play him. Draw cards equal to the greatest powered among creatures you
control. That's a very good ability. That puts this guy as one of
the best planes walkers in my planes Walker Cascade deck. He's really really good.
But wait, there's more. Not only is the next ultimate ability extremely
powerful and will nearly always win you the game shorter Wrath of God, but
also thematic to this very deck minus six. Create a six to six greenworm
for each land you control. Woo, so like twelve eight eighths if we
got our commander out, probably gonna win you the game. Yes, yeah,
so that's very good. He's a very good planes walker. Leads us
directly into the draw section. Bro, this guy with doubling season is like
the most powerful old man because he's got three loyalty and minus six, so
he comes in you immediately minus six them to make let's say ten, but
doubling season will actually make twenty. It's so good. It's and then you
whenever you do that. And I have done that wrath of God every time,
every time, except for one time I didn't have that happen, and
I just frickin won just slapped. Oh, Alex Camberril Teas or Teas says
this deck like, like I just indicated, slaps lips in CCO nation or
Cecio fashion so hard that people's lips go spinning around and sagging down and they
can kiss their own ass. Just needed to throw that out there. Okay,
here we go. First, draw card Soul's Majesty draw cards equal to
the bigliness of your guy. Rich Card's Expertise. Draw cards equal to the
bigliness of your guy. Play a five drop for free return of the Wild
Speaker. Choose one draw cards equal to the bigliness of your guy, or
all non human guys get plus three plus three until end of turn. Prader's
counsel I should say guy in this case is your biggest creature? Yes,
aka or one eyed worm correct Praider's Council. This is an odd card.
Draw spell green green green five. It's an eight drop kind of fallen out
of favor. Hey it has You don't see this card very often, no
more but eight drop. Return all cards from your graveyard. Do your hand
xil Prator's counsel, you have no max hand size. End of game.
I like that card. Ye, it's eight eight, and you're probably gonna
draw eight. Probably is that good? I think so? I mean,
if you're gonna in a deck like this that makes so much manna, I
think that you could probably play this as quickly slash as often as something like
restock, which gets two things back for five. Yeah, so why not
get everything back for eight, probably on the same turn, probably on the
same turn. And if you can cast more than one thing, maybe you'll
do this and then get a Cadama's reach that you can also cast thereby ramping
yourself even further. Correct. So it's a good card, and I like
it in this deck Lurking Predators, lurky p. This card has killed me
several times. I hate this card. Six drop enchantment whenever an opponent casts
a spell, Reveal the top car whenever they cast a spell. Yeah,
I do that every time. That's why I get you. Whenever they cast
a spell, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature
card, put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise put on the bottom of your
library. Man, I'm just gonna get my I'm just gonna get my seven
drop, my ten drop. I'm just gonna get my eight drop. Yep,
I'm just gonna get my world spine worm. That's a worm, you'al
Yeah, I'm just gonna get my What does it cost? Eleven? Yep?
For free? For free? One well for five? Yeah, and
way to turn. But come on, if I cast two spells, you
get two worms. I'm dead. Yeah, I could just be dead harmonized
No, that's draw thry cut it. Guardian Project whenever a non token creech
ETBs not cast Etb's if it has a different name than something else, which
it will draw card Garrick's Uprising and Elemental Bond and and sort of Beast Whisperer
sure cast a creature draw card really and Guardian Project? Are they all kind
of do the same thing. Yeah, and a colossal majesty is the last
one. Colossi madge at the beginning of your upkeep if you control a creature
with power or greater, which we will draw card? Yes, yes,
our commander solves that for us, right, sure does. So those are
all the card draw cards. Let's do the tutors real quick. Sure we
have Tooth and Nail. Woo okay, seven drop tutor kind of falling out
of favor too. This used to be like the most powerful green card in
the format, like circa two thousand and nine. Right, just search search
for your like two card combo and that's that was commander. Oh before rule
zero and before the social contract. I'm gonna play Tooth and Nail and I
have a CDH deck. Now, yeah, seven drop Sorcery. Search your
library for two creatus, put them into your hand, but you could entwine
it for two yep. And if you uh sorry, the other thing it
does take two creatures, put them from your hand onto the battlefield for free.
Yeah. Those are the two things it does. You choose one of
them, but if you pay two to entwine it, you do both.
Search for two creature, put two creechure onto the battlefield. I remember one
time, way back in the day, the first time we met Lenny and
Steven playing some CDH bros. Me and Lenny and I played Tooth and Nail
with my sliver deck. Oh yeah, oh, what bad slivers are you
gonna get? Brand I'm like, well, I don't know, crystalline sliver
and muscle sliver. And then I got zealous. Conscript won the game so
good. Oh yeah, bunch of fricking tools. Let me get away with
shit like that. Speaking of searching for two creatures putting them into play,
we also have Defense of the Heart. Yes, oh, and this is
the old one from legacy. I'm gonna give it a read during your upkeep.
If you if one of your opponents controls three or more creatures, sacrifice
Defense of the Heart, search your library for two creatures, put those creatures
into play, shuffle your library afterwards. It's a good one. It does
Tooth and for less manna. But you gotta like air quotes way to turn
to do it? Yes, And I guess people always say waiting a turn
is like so bad, and cards are do nothing if they make you way
to turn. The blah blah blah. This card could potentially win you the
game, absolutely as long as nobody has a disenchant and in my experience,
disenchant type effects are the least common kind of removal that people have, like
spot removal at instant speed of right, the most common is creature and then
maybe artifact. I would suggest that as well, and then enchantment, which
should be the other way around. I think enchantments are getting way more out
of hand. I think enchantments are probably more powerful. I mean, look
at Defense of the Heart. But artifacts are so much more commonplace, right,
Like, you'll play any game and any player could have three or four
artifacts. That's why Man of Rocks and stuff, right, That's why coxlad
extortionist is so strong. Yes, did you make that up? Have I
cockslide? That's what I said. Oh, welcome to the nation, babe.
Forever forever he will be called that. One more thing about Defense of
the Heart, though, before we move on, I would like to just
say one thing about Defense of the Heart I really like is if you play
it early in the game, before your opponents have those three creatures necessary for
it to go off. Yeah, sometimes it can buy you some time because
they don't want to be the first guy to get to the three creatures,
and nobody has a disenchant effect, so they're like it kind of puts them
in a holding pattern for a second and gives you a chance to like build
up or get Sometimes decks either just miss creatures on their drawstep or don't pack
a bunch of creatures, and you might hold somebody off their commander for a
turn, because then you'll just immediately tutor for two cards that could win con
you the game, right yeah, and I yeah, Okay, that ain't
nothing. I'm gonna tell you that ain't nothing. So that's everything but the
worms. So the worm shall now turn. We're gonna start with that sorcery
you mentioned earlier. Okay, it's wormquake, worm cake. Oh, don't
google it, do not worm cake. Okay, sorcery for green green four
and it's got corrupted, right, yes, corrupted, corrugated, corrupted,
conjugated. Okay, create an xx green Fyrexian worm creature tooken with tramsky and
toxic one, where x is the amount of manna spent to cast this spell.
Then for each opponent with three or more poison counters, you create another
of those tokens. You're gonna make one of them, probably the first time.
Yeah, so they've got the you're gonna make a six to six,
which is actually an eight eight with toxic one. Yep, it has flashback
for green green eight. So you're gonna make an eight eight, which is
potentially a ten ten. Now you're gonna make a ten ten to be a
twelve twelve. Oh yes, yeah, I said that wrong. Yeah,
ten ten, it's actually twelve twelve if you have your commander. Yes,
it's pretty good with trample and so. But the odds are like, when
you hit somebody with this, they taken probably six sure, right, toxic
one. Who cares? Yeah, who gives a shit? You're you're making
an eight eight and a twelve twelve out of this thing, that's true.
Yeah, you don't care about the infect You're just you're just pounding them,
pounding them with your giant one eyed worm, just pound them flat. Oh
yeah, I want your opponent to look like a pizza with like a big
Roman helmet stamp in it. Yes, all right, worm weaver coil.
Oh yeah, it looks like totem armor. I'm just gonna throw that out.
We're gonna coil it around them. Enchant green creature. This is an
enchant creature for our first creature. Sure yep. Enchanted creature gets plus six
plus six. It makes it into a worm and you can go green green
green sacrifice worm weaver coil create a six to six gre war creature. Talking
sure, speaking of coiling, we have a worm coil engine. Oh yeah,
six sex death touch lifelink. When it dies you get a three three
and a three three with dut touch or lifelink. World's pine worm. We
talked about this earlier. Oh yeah, like Magic's biggest creature is it still
is emeral cool bigger? No, emoric cool is the same. While this
one's a fifteen to fifteen trampler that when it dies you get three five five
tramplers. Uh do the five to fives trample? Yeah they do. And
when it dies you or put into the grave root from anywhere, you shuffle
it into its owner's library. That's cool, man, that's a big ass
creak. So it's a seventeen seventeen that makes three seven sevens when it dies.
Yeah, with our command that's pretty good. Sandworm convergence. Yeah,
this is one of the ones that people play outside of worm decks, right
yep, okay, so this is an enchantment for eight green green six creatures
with flying can't attack you or planes walkers you can. So it's got some
protection of the variety that we were already playing and at the beginning of your
end step end step, so you don't have to wait for it. Really
create a five to five green worm creech toke Flavorfully, that car doesn't make
any sense to me. But because the sandworms if you've ever watched beetlejuice or
tremors, do you know where they live under the ground? Why does that
stop flying things? Because they jump up unsurprisingly, but they would get the
things on the ground first, things on the ground, but there's more easily
get there's no there's nothing on the ground though there's uh no. They live
in the desert because they're sandworms. I don't know, man, And they
don't get other worms because they're bros. All right, Maybe in this deck
it makes sense. What is happening in this picture? No, I don't
know, but I like this shitty car. Jesus root breaker worm six'
six trample for seven all flavor roar of the word roar of the Worm.
This used to be a card and standard in two thousand and one. Green
six sorcery create a six six also flashback for four for four. That's pretty
good because you would actually just mill it or get it into your graveyard somehow
and then get a six six for four. That's pretty good. Yea,
yeah, it was good. Predatory Worm was a black van. Yeah,
free candy spray painted on the side. Yeah. Vigilance four to four for
four gets plus two plus two as long as you're ConTroll the garret planes,
so there is one zero percent chance that that could happen. Have a Garrick
that's an eight eight for four if we control Garrick and our commander. Oh
Jesus plated slag Wors, that's your mother worm slag eight eight This from Mired
and this is a good card too. Eight eight for seven. Can't be
the target of spells, your abilities, your opponents can aka it cuts hex
proof, Yes, sure it does. Penumber Worm. I played this in
my Panumber deck when it came out in Apocalypse. Oh man, this is
like a walk down history late with your good friend Ryan six six trampler for
seven. When it dies, you put a six to six black worm creature
token with free candy bainted on the side. Neat yes, piloca worm,
pillocka worm og from World Wake. I lost to this in a PTQ.
I played second in the PTQ because my goddamn opponent hit polacka Worm. Was
it limited? Not standard pillocka worm and standard baby? Okay? Seven to
seven Tramski worm for seven when at Etb's game seven life when it dies draw
card. I really appreciate you thinking that I could make a second in a
tournament that was this draft. Well, pollocka Worm was like the best card.
No, it wasn't because it was too angro for pollocka Worm. If
you could survive to seven man and then gain seven life, polacca worm just
won you the game. You didn't even need to act with it because you
have seven more life. And now, like Vampire Nighthawk or a geyser glider
like they landfall games, flying doesn't win you the game anymore. Oh Man's
into car limited pan glacial worm, Pan glacial worm. This this is a
weird one, hey, from this Cold Snap five kind of like yargle hay,
how can we have yargle day but not Panglacial worm day because he's not
a he's not as big of a meme. If this was a frog,
we'd have panglacial frog day. Okay, panglacial worm day is a nine to
five worm for seven trample. When you're searching your library, you may play
panglacial worm from your library. So when you're searching with your tooth and nail
or more likely with your defense of the heart, yes, or with a
teramorphic expanse or something well, defense of the heart, because it triggers during
your upkeep, you'll have all your man open still yeah, and oh can
you play pan glacial worm during your keep? Though you can't timing restrictions,
right, But if you go like it's turned eighty six because that's what this
deck wants to play, tell and you top deck like your Sylvan scry and
you're like, oh fuck Packlacia worm time, baby, Yeah, we're going
for it. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good little safety. It's it's
like, can we call it condom worm? Yes? We can? Yes?
O absolutely? Okay, impervious great worm, impervious also condom because it's
impervious. What in the goddamn hell? This is a sixteen sixteen for ten
with convoke, so it can cost less and it's indestructible. This is magic's
biggest creature. What the goddamn hell you've never seen this card? No,
what the hell is this? Sixteen sixteen for ten? Woo double nasty man.
There was a time when like twelve twelve's for fourteen you had to sacrifice
goddamn land to untap them. Sixty sixteen indestructible for ten fuck off or for
zero? Yeah, or for nothing? Oh man, I want to play
this card against you so bad now it doesn't even have How does this not
have trample? I guess because it would just win you the game? Yeah
in limited hay, yes, greater Sandworm greater? Are we playing the lesser
sandworm? No? Is there a lesser sandworm? Probably not? Okay,
Greater Sandworm can't be blocked by creatures with power too or less, and it
cycles for two. It's a seven to seven for seven engulfing slag word also
Brando's mother seven to seven for seven. When it blocks or becomes blocked by
a creature, destroy that creature, you gain life equal to that creature's toughness.
It's insane. Yeah, it's got like reverse lifelink. Yeah, it's
a worm. It has life dink. So if you gave this thing a
lure and you attacked, you would annihilate your opponent's entire board. Yes,
not lose your creature and gain a bunch of life. Well, you might
lose your creature. Well not because it's when it becomes blocked. Oh,
it's before to have you just just eat shit. It's a it's basically a
basilisk i like that. That's that's a ya, elder scale worm. Elder
scale worm. This is Uncle Brando, the elder part. That is seven
seven trampler for seven. I'm seeing a trend here me as well. Yeah,
demons are six six for six worm seven seven for seven. When it
enters a battlefield, if your life total is less than seven, it becomes
seven. That's powerful magic. Yeah, man, as long as you have
seven or more life damage that would reduce your life total to less than seven,
reduces it to seven instead. It's pretty cool. That's an interesting that's
a weird one. And these things do all kinds of crazy shit. And
then we have what the hell dirt cowl worm. Dirt cowl worm, what
the fuck is bron needs to have a shower. It looks like a dragon
with no arms, legs, or wings. That's literally what worms are.
It's just a head with a tailstick out of it. Oh no, that's
weirm, yeah with a y. Yeah. Yeah. This is just a
big, nasty, dirty, fucking worm. Whenever an opponent plays a land,
it gets a plus one plus one counter. Neat fuck, defiler of
Vigor. This is a fucking worm. Can I just can I just say
that I think that dirt cowl worm was the tempest pre release promo card,
or it was some kind of promo with a date stamp. I remember that
being a thing. If we're continuing the trend of going back in time through
the history of worms, and why wouldn't we Yeah, exactly the filer of
Vigor Ryn. This is the Payferrexian green for a green pip in spells you
cast, right, so this is kind of a ramp spell at the cost
of life. But also whenever you cast a green permanent spell, put a
plus one counter on each creature you controlled. Sure we control. If you
want to see this card in action and the managing of dice that it takes
to actually work this card. Frick Sidewalk Slam Season two, episode two.
There it makes an appearance. So Uncle Brando is a good uncle and is
managing the dice for one of our opponents because there's a lot going on for
a minute. Oh and all of that comes on a six to six body
with trample for five. Yes, yes, damn it. Power creep doesn't
exist. Crush of Worms. Put three six six green worm creach toke into
play flashback. It costs nine. You're getting you're getting eighteen power for nine.
It's pretty good. You're getting potentially twenty four power for nine if you
got your commander flashback for eleven. Yeah, hour talking, Yeah, can
you can you twelve? Oh yeah, twelve? Yeah, I'm asked.
Good. Can you imagine doing this and then flashing a back same turn getting
six bros? Oh yeah, six eight, Eight's just crushing. That's like
garrik wu. Yeah. Yeah. Man. Look at the art on this
card. That is cool, well in a bleak sort of way. So
I've read this card before, but real close out of the corner of my
eye when we've moused over it. I thought it was called sausage worm.
Sausage worm, sausage worm. It's a six six for six and a green
has butt Thirst, three and trample. I don't know what Bloodthirst does.
If they were dealt damage, it enters the battlefield with three plus one counters.
Right, that's right, got there? If an opponent, so I
think if you hit all three of your opponents, does he get nine?
Is that how that works? Or do you hit one opponent? An opponent
was dealt damage this term, so you get one one instance of three,
I should say correct, okay, yes, regardless of how many opponents were
dealt damage. This was in M twelve where Bloodthirst made a comeback from Dominica
Dissension I think specifically right, and it was put in there because it was
an intro set to teach new players cast spells on your second main phase after
you attack, because your creature will become a nine to nine for seven.
Guild Packed roll was in Guild Packed the second second one, yes, I
knew it was the second one. Dissension is the third Dissension is the third
one. Yeah. Bellowing tangle Worm is our last card all BT. Bellowing
tangle Worm four four for five with intimidate, which means it can't be blocked
except by artifact creatures and creatures that share color with it, so green,
and also other green creatures you control have intimidate. That's pretty good. That
gives all your worms kind of unblockable, quasi unblockable. All the lots of
green creatures going to show up at a commander table. But still yours are
bigger than theirs. So so there it is. That's the deck man,
Okay, I've been waiting all day. Strengths and weaknesses. Strengths and weaknesses.
Where do you want to start? Well, we usually start with the
strength. Sure, Yes, this sticks with his za. Yes it will.
It will beats by dre u. It will actually slap the lips clean
off of somebody's face onto somebody else's face. Yes, but not remove their
lips though, like it will knock the lips off of somebody else's face.
Those lips will land on the will land in the sand where you will stomp
them into the dirt. Yes, and then the other player will have no
lips. Yes, you'll swamp them with your giant worm into the dirt.
It'll slap somebody's face so hard their lips will go flying off and land on
somebody else's face. With such a hard slap of the face that those lips
will fly off exactly precisely. Yes, okay, so funny to tell somebody
about it. Come on, Yes, it's almost meme deck. This this
is a meaning you think it means. It's an absolute meme deck. It's
not like your monogreen stompy deck. No it well, I mean it also
is. It is also you can do both, but it is certainly a
meme deck. The jokes and the lulls, yes, I'm rolling that into
one right, they're all real yes, okay, real strength. Real Strength
actually plays what is probably the most powerful cards at the EEDH table in not
only the green card draw spells and the garricks and the Sivalas and stuff,
but also like fifteen and sixteen sixteens. Yes, those are just going to
be the biggest creatures in the game. This is one of those decks that
kind of adopts the Brando deck building philosophy, where it just if you draw
a card and it's really good, that's what every one of your cards is.
Yes, you don't play a lot of utility stuff except for Harmonize,
which you should cut immediately and put in either in a Chroma's memorial to give
you guys haste or concordant Crossroads to give you guys haste. Oh those are
good cards, good cards. Okay, okay, last strength, and we're
gonna come back to it. But you could build this for quite a good,
low, nice clean budget. Yes, some of the worms are worth
more than you'd think, but if you're not buying them from a store and
are instead trading them from a friend, they are cards that if you have
good friends, they will trade you for less because you're actually gonna play your
panglacial worm, yeah, or your impervious great worm like. They're not worth
five bucks, they're they're just yeah, exactly. So let's move over to
the weaknesses real quick. Slower than balls in January. That's the saying,
right, molasses in January. Oh I thought it was balls. Yes,
here's this is. I don't know if you have this on your list of
weaknesses, but the first thing I think of when I look at a deck
like this is it could run into the which half of the deck do you
draw it? Oh? Yeah, you could draw all ramp and have MANI
for days and nothing to do with it, even with your commander. Or
you're gonna draw all these nine nines and you'll never play them. That's how
my Bryan start Arm deck works, right exactly. I draw all the ramp
and the Man of Rocks and the land taxes and no guys to fling.
Yep. Same like this, you could just draw, you know, you
think, oh, man, I've got three land and maybe one creature and
three ramp spells in my opener. Yeah. Perfect. All I need to
draw is creature and it's gas. And you just draw, like on turn
three, it's like okay, here we go. You rip it and it's
like cultivate forest. Those are like your turn three and turn four draws and
you're like, I'm fucked because somebody used a removal spell on your six six
or it got caught up in the first sweeper because somebody's playing tokens. And
then you're like uh oh, and you draw I don't know your unnatural Growth,
which is a fine card, and a beast Whisper, which is a
fine card. And it's turn eight now and you've got nothing yep. Yeah
huh. And a lot of the draw spells sands harmonized which I still say
you caught, are dependent on you having one of your big dudes. Yes,
so, yes, you can refill your hand if your deck is working.
If it's not drawing, a rishcard's expertise in some cases will draw you
three cards. Yeah, so which half of your deck do you draws?
Is now on there? I will I will put in there. How much
early game does the deck have against aggro decks, like think of the ooh
hair axonyl deck. You could be dead by turn four or five when this
deck plays its first creature. Yeah, right, so does very much relegate
it to the realm of casual, which we know because it's the wrong with
that kind of a meme deck. But you have to make sure that when
you sit down, you say, hey, I'm playing sixteen sixteens, but
it's gonna take me like sixteen turns. Yeah, I was gonna say nine
or ten turns at least for the deck to like really start snowballing. Yeah,
so just be aware. Right, Oh, well, you can play
a sixteen sixteen on turn five or six. Yeah, but it's only one
creature. Yeah, you know what I mean, like one giant creature turn
five or six in an needyh game. It does not the difference make necessarily
correct correct? Yeah? Okay, So the deck as it is, moving
to the budge section as is as on arcadect dot com worms three hundred and
fifty five bucks. That's perfectly fine. That's fine because you're gonna have a
lot of these cards. But hear me out, hear me out. Let's
say you don't have a don't have one, or have the sixty dollars budget
for a great hinge, most expensive card in the deck. Cut it because
you've got ramp, you've got card draw and if you don't have creatures,
greahandch costs eight. Yeah, so you're not casting it. Yeah, Okay,
Nickthos Shrine to nix. Now, this would maybe give us the ability
if we cut it at thirty two dollars. It would also leave us room
to cut the Silvans Crying as well. Yeah. And if we're cutting the
Silvan Scrying and really moving away from the non basic land manna production, we
could maybe also cut Yavamaya Cradle of Growth because we only have nearly exclusively forests
anyways. Yeah, there's one, two, three, four, five,
six non forests of the thirty five Reliquary Tower and Rogues Passage might be really
good cards to find with Sylvan scrying, but maybe not. And if it
could save us at this point, like if you cut the Nickthos and the
Yavamaya and the Sylvan scrying, we're saving like over fifty dollars, right,
and my final cut because it's thirty five dollars again, what you just got
reprinted sort of Ers's Incubator Jesus no shit, Hey, no shit and great
ramp spell in creature decks hell yeah, and good card. But it doesn't
really do anything except provide you mana. And you could have something else,
like a man of Rock with an extra function. You could cut it and
keep your Nick's Blue Ancient and play that thing of vigor oh virtue of green
triple because then you find because then you get the the possible situation of Nick's
Blue Ancient and that and then your swamps tap for what nine forest forest tap
for? Yeah, so that's that's several magics. That's a impervious great worm
almost. Yeah, you tap your command instead of making a four to four,
you make a sixteen sixteen. Yeah, there you go, vote right,
Yeah, that's pretty dang good. There we go. So Greahenge,
Nick Thos Incubator Cradle cut them it's one hundred and forty in savings. You
could build this deck for two hundred bucks two hundred and fifteen bucks plus or
minus what you already own and problems when every binder build deck you ever build
will cost you. Yes, now I will say, I will say there
are a lot of random six to twelve dollars cards in here, yeah,
that you don't know are actually six to twelve dollars, right, like there
is some worms just cost money, and things like Zendakar resurgent even though it's
been in recent pre cons, it's still three or four bucks, and lurking
Predators still like eight bucks and dollars. Yeah, yeah, Tooth and Nail
just just money also reprinted still five bucks. Yeah. So anyways, that's
the deck. I wanted to do a spice calculator because the average CMC is
so high, but we're running tutors and really there's only one way to win,
and really with Bharu worm Jerker offer, you're gonna see the worm deck,
So the spice calculator is going to be a little bit low. So
instead of that, I would offer people the opportunity to go and use the
spice calculator for free on commander coocoat dot com. There's a tab for it,
and pick up some Spice calculator stickers while you're there. Oh yes,
then you can mark all your deck spice rating or use them as labels for
your deck boxes because they fit on their perfectly. I will, yeah,
yeah, and it'll let everybody know that your decks are spicy. The challenge
that I had, Yes, So in episode four hundred and eight, okay,
I called out Coco Nation and said, maybe we'll do the deck the
first deck of the year, our highest possible man of value, biggest average
converted man of cost deck we've ever done, that's fully playable, functional,
Yes, it has to be functional. And this one I think we've demonstrated
very much. Is it's five or something? Right? Five point one point
one average man of value for this deck? Pretty good. I would like
to challenge CCO Nation to give us a deck with a higher average man of
value, Yes, higher than this one, still functional and if you can
either crunch some numbers or demonstrate how or why the deck you submit is the
highest possible converted manecost that one could make for a deck. I think that
we got some we got some extra prizes left over from twenty twenty three that
I've I've got for people. Okay, I've got some our good friends at
Ultimate Guard sent us some new stuff, and I've got maybe some secret layers.
I got a bunch of CEO merch which you could get at Cometiccocoa dot
com as well, you know, dukes and sweaters and new T shirts and
stuff. Freaking boy. Okay, I've got some prizes for what could be
the highest CMC deck, and I want to challenge Caesio Nation to submit that
to us. And we're gonna give you a couple of weeks to do that,
because your boy uncle Brando needs your help. I am embarking on a
journey to teach somebody who's never played Magic before how to play Magic. And
I have built them a deck that is cutesy, uh accessible, Oh actually
good? Oh yeah right, and I think contains every evergreen keyword ever printed
into the game. So this is an accessible deck. Okay, yes,
okay, So what I'm looking for I'm playing Naya and next week we'll talk
about the deck. Okay, talk about the deck next week. To give
you guys a couple of weeks to come up with your high CMC monstrosities.
In the meantime, I am looking for strategies to actually teach somebody the game
using a deck. What's your favorite strategy for inducting a new human being?
Who just I want to how to play Magic? Can you teach me?
Where do you start? What's something that you saved till the end? Is
there like a through line that you want to make sure you're ingraining early on
to make sure that the habits are there? Right? Oh ka, yeah,
