we are hmm on Gulgari, going backwards in time. We've
done Oarzov and Gruel and Celesnia and Azorious and then
all the five monocolors we're talking about. When Universes Beyond
came in and allegedly ruined Magic Forever, the date was
twenty nineteen. So we went over to our friends at
dhrec dot com and we said, hey, can you give
us the ten most popular commanders from twenty nineteen, right
before Universes Beyond came in. Let's look at those, and
we're going to today the top ten from then, and
then we're going to look at the top ten from
now and see if we can identify trends. What's changed.
Has the strategy within Gulgari or any of the colors shifted,
Have Universes Beyond cards taken over that kind of stuff,
And so far it's been a ton of fun. This
is what numbers is gary like the tenth episode of
this eleventh five monols and then a bunch of we're
about halfway.
Speaker 3: Through, right you getting there? Almost halfway through the guilts yep.
Speaker 1: So without further ado, because we're under a time crunch,
I'm gonna hop right over and we've got a little
tradition because we've, like I said, done this like ten
times or so. We're gonna look at Uncle Brando's interpretation
of the guild symbol from memory. I'm excited for this,
and see if it looks like a butthole.
Speaker 3: Likely will, yeah, usually one of the time likely will
Oh my god, ah, not bad. It looks like maybe
something's eating.
Speaker 1: About a ble.
Speaker 3: Hey, we don't google that, sticking their nose in it
a bit, I think so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're speaking from experience, I mean very obviously, you know. Yeah, yeah,
Rusty tram Jones, everybody just like he eats as it's right.
Speaker 3: It's right, okayreful though he.
Speaker 1: Did a good job. This is the twenty no sorry, the.
Speaker 3: Top ten of then Jeep get it right, Ryan Cheap
twenty nineteen top ten, number ten. My god, I'm so
excited right now.
Speaker 1: Zon thousand Eyes. Okay, so I'm gonna give him a read.
I'm gonna I'm gonna give it a read, and then
you're gonna tell me about it because you and way
know way more about Gulgary than I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love Golgory.
Speaker 1: So what is this is?
Speaker 3: This is gonna be so cool.
Speaker 1: A Zony thousand eyed is a two three elf shaman
has a date stamp in the art. That's definitely a
trend that we've noticed for green, green, black, black two
with undergrowth. When Azoni A thousand Eyed enters a battlefield,
create a one to one black and green insect creature
token for each creature card in your bin. Also green, black,
sack another creature, gain one life draw card?
Speaker 3: What a what a Goldgary card? Hey makes some token?
What make some tokens? Sack some stuff, gain some life
draw card.
Speaker 1: So if I, if I, because this is what I'm
gonna do, mill myself naturally and then play this, I'm
going to get five, six, ten.
Speaker 3: My god, if you you.
Speaker 1: Know, sacrifice and reanimate to like loop it and get creature, creature.
Speaker 3: Creature, Oh my god, there's so much Yeah, just Dredge
a couple of times and you're you're kind of laughing.
Speaker 1: How many times are we going to say Dredge today?
Speaker 3: So many times? A lot of times?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, How many times are we going.
Speaker 3: To say one of the biggest mistakes in magic? There's
a Yeah, it's sir Dredge.
Speaker 1: Are we going to see Dredge on a commander?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I know, I know Dredge on a commander with.
Speaker 3: I think it's uh abs in. Yes, Yeah, that's gonna
be a tough one.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're making a grave mistake.
Speaker 3: Oh there we are.
Speaker 1: There we go get the pile of bones and your boys.
Speaker 3: Mmmm. Hellp losing her up.
Speaker 1: This is just this card.
Speaker 3: It's such a Goldgary card. It's just unbelievable. Yeah, do
lots of loops, make lots of guys. Maybe pump them
a little bit.
Speaker 1: I love pumping guys. Yeah, okay, what a beauty. What
do you think we're gonna see this in the top
ten of that?
Speaker 3: Probably not. I you don't see this card very much.
Speaker 1: We have only I think had like one or two cards.
Speaker 3: That have climbed yep, which is.
Speaker 1: Which is wild when that is kind of crazy to think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, make sure this oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Lean up.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just getting cozy here.
Speaker 1: This is gogary.
Speaker 3: There's nothing god, yeah, I don't really think we're going
to see that one.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see oh Masurik crawl death Priest. This is
our second bug guy in a row. Yeah, two to
two for five Golgarian three with flying whenever a player
sacrificed another permanent, whenever a player sacrifices any fucking permanent.
Speaker 3: Put it on each creature.
Speaker 1: Put a plus one on. What a what a card
this card? This guy fucks and doesn't call back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a pretty good card.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I I man ifew Laura plays this. Hey, yeah, man,
I don't think I I think the only time that
I've beaten Lara's Mazurik deck is when we all three
of us just ganked up. Yeah first first.
Speaker 3: It kind of makes me wonder though, because I think
maybe this is like maybe been power crept a little bit.
So I'm kind of curious to see. Yeah, yeah, there's
a kind of there's a new guy that that came out,
that the bug guy. I don't know if he can
do this a little cheaper and a little better.
Speaker 1: Do you think Mazarek is gonna I feel like these
guys are gonna climb.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's tough.
Speaker 3: It says this is gonna be a tough one. I
wouldn't be surprised if Mazurik was a little bit higher,
but I also wouldn't be surprised was a little lower.
Speaker 1: Mazik very powerful really just he just says every opportunity
that they have to dial it back like they do now,
like just you control or once each turn, or only
triggers once or when it's the second one. No, right,
they didn't do any of that bullshit. This is from
Commander twenty fifteen when they did enemy colored pairs and
whenever a player another permanent each creature unlimited number of times.
Speaker 3: Crazy crazy frick.
Speaker 1: And it puts a each creature. He puts it on
himself and he's flying, so he could just like make
him an eleven eleven.
Speaker 3: Creature each cotch. This guy fucks, Oh my god, yeah
god bang And it's again such a Golgary card sack stuff,
make your stuff bigger counters on everything, like, oh, I
love to see.
Speaker 1: It as if I'm not gonna have a lot of guys.
Speaker 3: Oh you're gonna, yeah, you're gonna have a bunch of
tokens flying around. It's gonna be a bunch of bugs
or sapper lings or kind of whatever they have, I guess,
little elf guys, kind of whatever you want.
Speaker 1: For the unacquainted. We could almost assume in Gulgari that
we're gonna have tokens, or we're gonna have a bunch
of small value creatures that trigger when the etb or
we're gonna have a bunch of manadorcs, like our board
is gonna mostly be filled with creatures.
Speaker 3: And you're doing butt stuff so stuff in your bin
comes back you loop it. Uh, it's just you're just
you know, acquiring resources. You're just making things happen. So
this is just get rid of it, acquiring cheeks. Yeah, yeap, slapping,
slapping and clapping. We said that last week, My god,
goad number eight. Now we're talking Alyssa the Trader card.
Speaker 1: Right as soon as I said about creatures, this is
like an artifact deck, right, Okay, so this is an
elf zombie?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: Three ELFs in a row? No insect elf sean bug
boy elf zombie, Like those aren't relevant creature types?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Three three for green, green, Black, first strike, death touch.
Whenever creature and opponent controls is put in the gravy
from the battlefield, you may return earned target artifact card
from your graveyard to your hand. So what do you
What do you get? Like ick or well spring and
the other well spring.
Speaker 3: I actually have a guy at the LGS places commander,
and he does all kinds of DJ and ship. He's
got like a metal worker in there. He's got just
a bunch of crap and he makes a ton of
mana and res our.
Speaker 1: Days mind slaver.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what I bet that's in there?
Speaker 1: Actually, Sure, an opponent controls is put into the graveyard,
like when I control you with a mind slavery, and
so I attack you with my one one into my glisten,
who's a three three with death? Such I get my
mind slaver back.
Speaker 3: And there's like there's so much stuff in these colors
that just lets you. Okay, everyone sacks the thing, Everyone
sacks the think. Oh all my opponent, sack of thing.
Oh sack your highest man of value thing whatever, just
blop blop so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, what's what's the one black each each player
socks a creature traders traders.
Speaker 3: Like tim them. There's the new one. There's a new
one from Amy from Ariojo ho ho No, But what's
the one from a cursed Marauder? Maybe he's called something?
Speaker 1: No, what's the one from onslaught? The common with the
zombie on it. I don't know, it's like the original one.
Speaker 3: There's like ten of the men. We'll get there and
it's gonna happen. It's gonna pop it in one of
our heads later on.
Speaker 1: Figure it out, innocent blood. Oh yeah, there you go,
there you go. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then there's uh, there's the new one that's like
a three for one. It's like everyone's sacks sacks of creature.
There's just tons of one. Yeah, so freaking good.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking barter and blood. I'm thinking of barter and blood.
But it's the Rumpelstiltskin guy from al Draine. Oh yeah,
choose one or more. Everybody sacks a creature, everybody discards
a card, everybody loses two life, you choose all three?
Speaker 3: You just choose all three? Yeah, wreck everyone's day. Hell yeah,
the other thing too. There's a bunch of glisses and
they're all pretty freaking good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The manipool one's not that good.
Speaker 3: She's only green, I guess. Yeah, well she wasn't in
the not bar to get out of here.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, so this is number.
Speaker 3: Seven seven eight eight eight, number eight thine eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. What eight nine eighty eight, This
is seven coming to second. Okay, we're gonna get there,
a great, great podcast.
Speaker 3: We're doing great. Oh yeah, here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: I would have totally built this guy right when he
came out if it wasn't for my fucking friend, f you, Jesse.
Speaker 3: Jesse got there before you did.
Speaker 1: So. Slime foot is a fungus for gulgarian one. It's
a two three whenever a saperling you control dies. Slime
Foot deals one damage to each opponent and you gain
one life. So it's an aristocrat just for saperlings. Sure.
Also four colorless create a Saperling.
Speaker 3: So about the bottom part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well a couple things. If you make infinite manner,
you make infinite dudes, and you have a sack outlet
that just allows you to sacrifice one hundred.
Speaker 3: Guys, you just loop it and win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. And the slime foot decks i've seen have
leaned heavily into the aristocrats where they just have a
ton of aristocrats.
Speaker 3: Well it's kind of cool though, because like Saperlings is
just such a like a classic Gouldgary thing too, right,
like way before Goldgary was even a thing, before we
even knew the black green Saperlings.
Speaker 1: Before fucking Celesnia said that they were Saperlings. Yeah, even
though that happened in two thousand and seven, and this
card is clearly from twenty seventeen or whatever.
Speaker 3: Is hilarious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, I remember when he came out. I
wanted to build him so bad. And it was right
around the time and don't don't at me, won't at me?
Right around the time our friend group was getting into
higher power nie competitive decks and Jesse and I built
slime Foot and it has Protean Hull and all his
black tutors and all his green creature tutors and all
of the recursion and combos and it's, uh, it's it's
a pretty crazy deck.
Speaker 3: And is it still around?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. If you play aff you Jesse, tell
them you lose.
Speaker 3: I just want you to slim me all over.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah he would too. He's into the slimen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean same like again, it's classical Gary,
it's aristocrats.
Speaker 1: Make like we we really talked a lot about aristocrats,
both in warsov last week and a few weeks back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what color is saying I see what you're saying. Yeah,
I mean probably Ozov you can you can say it
takes there takes the crown of aristic. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know what a couple of things. When we talk
about trends.
Speaker 3: I think about wind cons and go Gary though, and
it's a lot of aristocrats stuff. It's like, how do
you win? You're just looping and dream and you're set.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's the looping mechanisms that are very
Gulguri more more so than aristocrat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bringing stuff back o to your v bin. Yeah, reckon.
Speaker 1: When we're talking about trends, I think the trend is
ease of looping or ease of manner production because you
have access to green with the Graveyard abilities.
Speaker 3: And I'm actually so curious to kind of see what
happens because I think I'm kind of thinking about some
of the newer commanders that I'm thinking about, and I'm
I feel like it's almost kind of moving away from
that a little bit.
Speaker 1: So that's another thing that we especially in Azorious, we
saw that a lot where before it was stacks light
lockdown control, and in the now it was random stuff
like just generic. Oh this is a white ability and
a blue ability or this is like here you go,
this is what this is how cards are designed now. Yeah,
I don't think slime flit's going away, but I could
see this guy dropping direc off and not being.
Speaker 3: On them, just fall right off a cliff. Poor guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, poor guy.
Speaker 3: And he's a fungus too, which is I yeah, I
really like him that. It's pretty sweet.
Speaker 1: I would build him. But we we have this kind
of soft rule in our play group where we.
Speaker 3: Don't yeah, yeah, we kind of do the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, shout out. Let us know in the comments.
I guess if you if you also have that.
Speaker 3: Ring, yess. I gotta play Jesse now to good god.
Speaker 1: Yeah fuck him.
Speaker 3: Maybe this weekend.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we'll invite out of my house, but secretly
we'll run him over with my car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good idea, just beat him up.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, take a surprise. This is seven, yeah, number seven,
number six. Hey, we're making we're making good time. Okay, good,
we're making a good time. Making sure producer Gary's time
crunch is good. Ah, what the this is your guy?
Speaker 3: I so the first ever CEO Secret Santa? Oh yeah,
the first or the second one of them? I think
for the CEO Secret Santas, I always the first ones
before they started making more rules. I always made go
Guary decks and I yeah, I'm pretty sure I sent
a Grismold deck.
Speaker 1: Grismold the dread sore is the car? What? Yeah? Neat? Yeah, okay,
Well he's a three three troll shaman. Lots of shamans.
You gotta have the shamans for Gregarian one three three trampler.
At the beginning of your end step, each player creates
a one one green plant creature token. Whenever a creature
token dies. Whenever any creature token dies, put a plus
one counter on grismold.
Speaker 3: Uh that's the dreadsore. Put him on grismold.
Speaker 1: Put it.
Speaker 3: Put a counter on every time a creature token dies.
Speaker 1: Like my creature token one.
Speaker 3: I'm on a farm, right, creature He gives guys tokens,
and then anytime one dies, you put.
Speaker 1: On player creates a one one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy is cool as hell.
Speaker 1: And then I hit you with an innocent blood and
make everybody sack one.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: So now my guy's a seven to seven.
Speaker 3: Yep, you board white make him indestructible.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy is freaking cool. He's super easy to
build on a budget, which is awesome, and uh, super
interactive and it is a ton of fun to play
because you're giving stuff out and you're you're gonna you're
kind of like here, have a little treat. Oh sorry,
I'm taking that back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, I think that that in my mind. That's
Gulgary have this little thing. Just kidding. I'm gonna kill
it and it's gonna benefit me in my mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, each ship, Yeah, it's man This guy is awesome.
He's so much fun, such a such a hoot. And
Shawman's you know they're into that earth ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're into the earth Yeah, if they shave, I
don't know.
Speaker 3: Fuck is he ugly? Hey?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like imagine meeting up with that guy in a back
alley somewhere.
Speaker 1: Kind of got the same body type? Is my brother?
Speaker 3: Oh exciting?
Speaker 1: Yeah? My brother's like Shrek hate he's stuff not.
Speaker 3: Green fists the size of basketballs.
Speaker 1: Is clubbing around, boom boom boot dragon on the ground.
Speaker 3: This guy, man, he's got like, ah, man, what a
cool card. It's exciting.
Speaker 1: Do you expect to see him in the top ten
of now?
Speaker 3: Oh, I would be shocked. I would be shocked.
Speaker 1: Yeah he Okay, Well, giving stuff away then killing it
and getting plus ones that doesn't go on a style.
Speaker 3: It's true, It's true. It's true. He The thing is, though,
is I just kind of like I think about trends
and stuff, and I don't really think, like I don't
really think people like giving stuff away. I just don't
really think it's like, uh.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's something that doesn't the Okay, you know,
we talk a lot about the synergy age of commander
that we're in now. I don't feel as though the
synergy age likes to give stuff away, because if I
instead draw land instead of the thing that kills the
thing I just gave you, yep, I'm fucked.
Speaker 3: Now you're punching me with my own thing instead.
Speaker 1: If the thing I played that gave you something instead,
if that was a synergizing with my commander card, I
can just continue doing what I was gonna be doing.
And for that reason, this guy might not crack the
top ten list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's uh. It's also he's very susceptible to removal
as well, which kind of just torqus your whole game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't have any built in like we're gonna see.
I'm sure there's no built in ward. There's no built
in sacrifice to make him indestructible till turn exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing sneaky like that. So built in sack outlet.
Speaker 1: Oh and built in sack outlet yeaheah. Okay, So this
is number six six six, number five, Top five nath
of the Guilt Leaf. Okay, this this, I'm surprised that
this is on this list.
Speaker 3: This line shocked that this is on this list.
Speaker 1: Yeah, This is one hundred per not going to be
on the list. There's no chance give it.
Speaker 3: This is from twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a lor one card. Discard's actually
from like two we'll tell. Okay, so this a four
to four Elf Warrior for Gagari and three. At the
beginning of your upkeep, you may have target opponent discarded
card at random. Okay. Whenever an opponent discards a card,
you may put a one to one green Elf Warrior
Creature token into play.
Speaker 3: Ah, you're playing discard and everyone's gonna hate you.
Speaker 1: Yes, I feel in your Maath of the Guilt Leaf
deck you just turn that into a Turgrad deck. Yeah,
and you are just playing discard and that playing discard
has fallen out of favor because unless your commander really
punishes people for discarding, like EH one one, that's not
really punishing anybody. Discard is not a very good good
strategy and commander unless you're playing TURGERD which punishes you
for discarding or sacrifice. I expect that this is gonna
fall all the way out.
Speaker 3: Of the top. Yeah, there's just not enough upside here. No, Yeah,
despite it being an Elf also really cool art. Yes,
you know what I think I've I think I've done
altered art on every single one of the cards we've
talked about so far. People love, people love their Gulguri. Man.
Speaker 1: There it is. Well, let's see what number four. Let's
go Oh, of course, of course, Okay, we're getting into
the of courses.
Speaker 3: Let is talk about a scumbag card.
Speaker 1: Do you say Jared or Jaw I.
Speaker 3: Say Jared, but I I get corrected and girod Yeah,
my buddy, uh my, my, my buddy, Derek. He's the
guy who gave me the books. Actually, he's like a
big lower guy and he's on.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna call him Jarred jar Ad,
jar Ad jar Ad. Gulgary leech Lord Green Green, Black Black,
two to Elf Zombie. Lots of good ship going on.
This guy is awesome when your ad Gulgary leech Lord
lich Lord gets a plus one for each creature card
in your graveyard. So this guy's a fucking tank, a
hundred piece, he's he's a twelve.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just dump your ship in and he's yeah,
punching hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can go gulgory in one sack another creature,
you know, to make them bigger. Each opponent loses life
equal to the sacrifice creature's power. Wow, fuck me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also there's more sacrifice, a swamp and a forest. Return
Jared Jerrod Jarad from your graveyard to your hand.
Speaker 3: Remember how we were talking about loops?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Ever heard of a card called the yagle in Miltani? Yes,
everyone takes eighteen. Yes, and that's without any any pumps.
Speaker 1: Oh god, dang, this guy's good.
Speaker 3: This guy's a scumbag.
Speaker 1: This guy's a stud.
Speaker 3: Guy's a scumbag.
Speaker 2: Guy's a study.
Speaker 1: You got a scumbag? I want to I want to
play him?
Speaker 3: Sure, you know you know what you know?
Speaker 1: You played Girodd in your What's What's card number nine,
where each creature gets plus.
Speaker 3: One plus one exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: Fuck? What was that card? Laura plays?
Speaker 3: Uh not? Slam foot was the other one? Ship? U?
K K boy, ky boy, suck at this God.
Speaker 1: Doesn't even start with a K.
Speaker 3: It has a K in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carl death prety second, you play both of these
in that deck.
Speaker 3: Sack takes six, Sack takes six, sack takes six.
Speaker 1: Oh no, every time you sack they get bigger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they get plays take seven each ship.
Speaker 1: No, you're still wrong, Take six, take eight, Take ten.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's so od so good.
Speaker 1: And as if you're as if you're not going to
have the mana that green black whatever, you just play
Frexien Altar and.
Speaker 3: As absolute absolute where you also just sacrifice and he
just got fucking so good.
Speaker 1: I have lost to this card as often as I
have lost to Azrek.
Speaker 3: I take this. I've taken this card out of decks
because it feels too easy. It feels too easy, man.
You just get him in your bin and people are like, oh,
he needs to die, you know what, not before I
kill you first suckers.
Speaker 1: It might be you rubbing off on me, but yeah, hey, hey,
it might be you rubbing off on me. But I
really like Gulgary, And you know what, Gulgary lets me
do the things I want to do in Mono black
but better. Yeah, more token mores, more bullshit. God dang,
I want to play this card now. I got one of.
Speaker 3: These you know what too, man. Like the last couple
of sets, there's been some absolute heater cards that are
just so gulgory and I'm like, oh my god, I
love this. This is like, this is the best time
to love that ship because man, it's getting some cool stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll have to see if we see them in the
twenty ten of Now I can't wait the top ten. Now,
I can't wait keep seeing the twenty ten. You know
what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm picking up.
Speaker 1: So this is number four.
Speaker 3: We're getting there the heat any predictions. I would like
to see this in the top ten. This card is
still the jed Oh car and it's freaky sure.
Speaker 1: I would love Lateral. We're gonna see it was later.
Speaker 3: Already because that came week was that Innikorea.
Speaker 1: Lather roll was in call time, which was twenty That's right. Yeah,
we're not going to.
Speaker 3: No chatterfang.
Speaker 1: Probably chatterfang. We're gonna see that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm not sure that I'm I'm really curious.
I say, let's check it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, top three of us check it out. Then
let's go.
Speaker 3: Oh dang, my girl.
Speaker 1: Uncle Brando would a guest Hipatria. This is another date
stamp one. They knew that this card was gonna to
be good. This card will talk about como, this.
Speaker 3: Super combo so same thing actually for one of the
nuh for one of the secret Santas. I also made
a hypatric combo deck.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 3: Brando and I both have Hypatria dex and our our
decks are both very different but also total scum bag,
both of them.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, the diversity and the through line. Ah, it's
it's yeah, you got them both. Okay. So this is
a to to human cleric for Green Black. When Hypatra,
the Zer of Poisons deals combat damage to a player,
you may put a minus one counter on target creature.
Whenever you put one or more minus ones on a creature,
you create a green and green snake token with that touch.
Speaker 3: So good, So.
Speaker 1: You how does it work? Whenever you put a minus one,
you get a guy, and whenever you get a guy,
you put a minus one. That's the like there's a loop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I can't remember the name of the card,
but it's it's basically, anytime something with a minus one
minus one counter dies, yep, you can put a minus
one minus counter minus one counter on something else. So
you minus one one of your snakes, yes, and then
go yes and aristocrats everyone to.
Speaker 1: Death, Aristocrats everyone to death, or et B everyone today,
depending exactly depending.
Speaker 3: On what you have.
Speaker 1: Et B draw card till you do. There's also like.
Speaker 3: A bunch of uh uh, what's that card Verdian revel,
the one that makes uh I can't remember what the
heck it does. It makes like one one elf tokens,
and there's just a whole bunch of stuff. This thing
combos with absolutely everything minus one's minus one counters have
gotten a ton of support in the last couple of
sets too.
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I find with Hypatra and
cards like Hypatra. Whenever you put a minus one on
a thing, do another thing. What will happen is you'll
play a card and you'll go, oh, I'm gonna do this,
I'm gonna do it again. Oh oh, I'm gonna do
it again. It goes infinite and I didn't actually know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and can you believe it? This card also combos
with yogmoth. Oh yeah, can you believe it? No, unbelievable, right, yeah,
yogmath combos.
Speaker 1: That's some bullshit. We saw yoagmath and we've been modo black.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, So, I mean, card's a heater,
really really really powerful. I remember this is to actually
be a CDH commander too back.
Speaker 1: So this is top three worthy and yeah, a very
definitely something that we've noticed. When we get closer to
number ones than zan Now's, we say this is a
CEDH commander. Also, this is a regular commander. Okay, it
has different builds. And like you said, you and Brando
both have haatra that both do different things.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I tried to make my hypatraa as like nice
as I possibly could, and it's still Actually Dougy uh
rookie of the Yokie of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Dougie,
he borrowed my hypatridack at like a friendly uh commander challenge.
The at the LGS guys just beat him up. He
had to apologize. He said, it's not my deck, this
is Brad's deck. Blame him, he said, blame him. He
did this, Yes, And I was like, Dougie, like, this
is the nicest way I could possibly do it.
Speaker 1: Yes, still still did well.
Speaker 3: I think he still did pretty good though. So it's good.
Speaker 1: It's good. Well, pot your number three definitely top three worth,
great awesome card. Okay, Well, let's let's see if the
other ones are top three worthy. I like, I like
being blindsided by what they actually are and being like, ah, yeah,
so number two number.
Speaker 3: Two, Yeah, yeah, it's wrong. And we talked about this, Yeah,
you want to talk about scumbag, Yeah, I talk about
Is this the Dredge.
Speaker 1: Commander sort of? Yeah, oh definitely. And I know I've
told a story on the show before, so I'll be quit.
But I also know that the guy who did it
to me listens from Calary, because of course he is.
Speaker 3: Oh I met that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, mallst of five we're playing CEDH like podplus
right now, win double the prizes. Malls to five kills
me on his turn one. I didn't even play. He
went second in turn order. I was going fourth. Fucking
didn't even play magic. We like he scooped up and
like we started game two. I just kept the same hand.
I'm ready. I'll just go back to forty. Didn't even
play get Trug. Okay, So this is a six to
six Brog horror date stamped again, of course, because they
knew that this card was a banger. Ye Gulgarian three
that Dutch at the beginning of your upkeep sacrifice getrog
unless you sacrifice a land. I've seen it go both ways. Yeah, okay,
but usually people sacrifice a land because it's last ability,
which I'll get to. Whenever you play a sorry, you
can play an additional land on each of your turns
worth mentioning worth mentioning. Yeah, the last ability whenever one
or more land cards are put into your graveyard from anywhere,
draw card. So the thing with this is you have
a little land called dak More Salvage that has dredge.
So if you would draw a card instead, you dredged instead,
you return the card with dredge from your graveyard on
top of your library, and you mill two cards, right
is that not?
Speaker 3: It's stupid.
Speaker 1: Oh you're you're shaking your.
Speaker 3: Head because I'm like, I'm like, oh my god, I can't.
Speaker 1: You shook your head and I was like, wait, wrong, no, no, no,
dredge is just that. I'm like, okay. So the other
thing you do is you have a tranquil thicket or
a Baron Moore. Those are green or black lands with cycling.
So what you do is pay a black, let's say,
and you discard your Baron Moore to draw card. Okay,
if the Dackmore Salvage is in my graveyard, I mill
two and put it into my hand and I draw
card because I dredged, dredged, and and I had a
land hit my fucking bin.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: And if I can generate another black some way or somehow,
I can do that over and over and over again
and draw my whole or mill, my whole library.
Speaker 3: Can I tell some Can I tell a funny story
about Dredge?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: And it was originally designed. I learned this actually not
that long ago. When it was originally designed, it was
it was just a replacement. So it was if you
were going to draw a card instead, put this card
into your hand. The mill got added later.
Speaker 1: Oh so Dredge to Dredge six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I dreaded six Yeah, Dredge the classic stinky imp
like that.
Speaker 1: Gulgary Grave trolled Dredge six yeah.
Speaker 3: For only card. I think that's been banned, unbanned, and
then banned again.
Speaker 1: I asked Brando one time. He's he's played Dredge in legacy, vintage,
extended Commander. He played Dredge basically every format, I said, Brando.
If there was a card that said Dredge twenty you
go to one life, would you play it? He goes yes,
without a time, I would play four of those without
it out in my.
Speaker 3: Mind yeah, yeah, so uh yeah, And I'm like because
the and the the design reason was, oh, we just
don't want someone to be able to do this again
and again and again, so we added the mill so
it would you know, they were limited by the size
of their deck.
Speaker 1: Well, and when you're playing Gulguri inlimited, like, dredge six
actually matters if you do that two times. True, like
that matters because you could deck yourself. But dredge six
when you're playing fucking Legacy and you want to deck yourself.
The only thing about get Trog Monster and the dak
More Salvage and the baron More, how do you keep
making black again? How do you keep doing that?
Speaker 3: I fuck, I don't remember there. I never I never
actually played Getrog. I've just been pounded by Getrog a
million times.
Speaker 1: Get Trog is really weird too, because whenever one or
more lands is put into your graveyard from anywhere, draw card.
So like in my lands deck, let's say where I
have sixty eight or sixty nine land. If I'm moving
to clean up and have to discard down to eight,
I discard a land and draw card and I'm oh, sorry,
down at discard down to seven? I discard a land
down to seven, get Trog draws me a card again,
so I'm at eight, so I have to reclean up,
and you can.
Speaker 3: Rip that library, your entire library. Yeah, yeah, there's a
bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: You can draw a non land off of your get trog,
but your cleanup says that you still have to go
to seven. So if I have a land in my hand,
I can do it again. Just keep ripping and you
just keep ripping. And I actually won a game when
I was at like two life because I ripped her
my whole deck and then I had something hit my
graveyard that I was like, Oh, I'm gonna get that back.
I'm gonna I'm gonna play this maze of youth out
of my graveyard now. And now you can't get me
ye sorry, yeah, get drug get rug, Uh.
Speaker 3: Does horrible, does horrible things to good people?
Speaker 1: Number number two of now or sorry, number two of
then definitely gonna be on the now list.
Speaker 3: I would be shocked if it wasn't. Yeah, and also
implications as well, Yeah, for sure. And also such cool art,
such cool.
Speaker 1: Art, lots of different I'm scared of that, froggy guys,
lots of different. Uh, secret layers and reprints and.
Speaker 3: Stuff too, right, Yeah, some some pretty iconic ones actually too.
He's got a freaking arm hanging out of his mouth.
Speaker 1: I know whose arm is that? That's I think that's
a callback to a card from Ice Age called chub
Toad that we have definitely talked about on Commander Cookout
a lot, because how can we Brando and I not
talk about a card named chub Toad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I'm pretty sure Gary's got a chubb Toad
right now.
Speaker 1: Yes, just because you're here.
Speaker 3: It's just looking at me in the eyes.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, number one of then this is
it's what's going to be.
Speaker 3: Oh my damn it, dumbass is stupid if you Alex
plays this and we fucking pile on every time.
Speaker 1: This is the mirror and human Sham Green Black two.
Whenever another creature you control dies, you get an experience counter.
Oh like all the time.
Speaker 3: Every single every second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the beginning of your end step, choose target
creature in your graveyard. If that creature's converted manecost is
less than are equal to the number of experienced counters,
get it to the battlefield. Otherwise, put it in your hand.
So like if I have three experienced counters and I
have a two drop in my graveyard battlefield.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, or just like there's so much stuff
you can do with this.
Speaker 1: And every turn it's a fucking merciless executioner and I
lose my whole team.
Speaker 3: Or what the fuck? Why can't I think of the
freaking one that brings other stuff back from your bin?
Eternal witness?
Speaker 1: Yes, it's always an eternal witness getting back a merciless executioner.
Speaker 3: Who's got the stinky deck?
Speaker 1: TMS fucking alex oh also TMS Yeah yeah, the original
CCO raw Dog deck is a Maren deck, and Tyler
matuley Stone has.
Speaker 3: It, and that deck is fucking good and could have
been stinky. Yeah, it's really stinky. I've seen Tyler matuley
Stone wipe a beer off a pool table with that deck.
Speaker 1: Well that's the only thing you've seen him wipe.
Speaker 3: Didn't he put some cards in the dirt or something,
and then he also.
Speaker 1: Mushed a piece of sausage from a hot pocket in between,
like by folding in half a white bordered Bullus's citadel. Yeah, yeah, growth,
we use that deck to wipe up spilled beer so
it didn't get a duel land wet.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: That deck, the deck box or that deck was a
box of dirt. This is all real. We're not making
any of this up.
Speaker 3: That deck smells like shit.
Speaker 1: We we folded and then folded the other way so
it rectangled cards and ripped them into quarters and then
stuck them back together with CEO stickers. Commander crookod dot com.
Speaker 3: If you want, god, yeah, yeah, I'm just trying to think.
What else, my god, I just remember I forget why.
But someone was like someone just burned a hole in
a couple of the land.
Speaker 1: There is a bunch of cards in that deck that
have holes burnt through them from cigarettes and pipes and blowtorches.
And we barbecued one of those cards. Mac put one
in the microwave and I said, Mac, it's a foil.
Don't make it's a foil. Make sure it doesn't start
on fire. He hit one second fire, so stinky, so funny.
You weren't there for that one. The microwave. The microwave
card one was the funniest. Mac laughed so hard he
was gagging. That sounds right, Oh man, that was funny.
He's gonna he's gonna remember that.
Speaker 3: Max is gonna be gonna be just having the best
time of my life.
Speaker 1: Literally just said, don't start it on fire, and he
hit the button and it started on fire.
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine, though. That must fucking smell terrible.
Is that why that deck smells a little bad? Plus
all the beer and just assorted stinks. I'm just gonna
I'm just plus TMS.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna equate it to organic material.
Speaker 3: Yes, just generally, you know, like uh like Gulgari just recycling,
you know, perfect Risen from the dirt speaking.
Speaker 1: Hey, boss, you guys doing the show. I'm gonna from
the dirt, old old number one. Maren's Maren.
Speaker 3: What we're just talking about? T m S is stinky, Marenda.
Speaker 1: She's never on mac put the card in the microwave.
Speaker 3: How bad did that smell?
Speaker 1: It wasn't the worst smell. I well, he smelled some
stinking been for some there already there as we say, okay,
so that is the number one of them, the number
ten through one of now go quicker because we've seen.
Speaker 3: A bunch of Oh we got a cruise through.
Speaker 1: But we do have to note any universes beyond.
Speaker 3: Because also just like weird exceptions, like like like I
have a feeling we're going to see some like pre
con commanders might want to kind of mention this.
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, true, true, true.
Speaker 1: Ups and downs like jumps and.
Speaker 3: Kind of differences and trends.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very very curious to see this.
Speaker 1: But before that, we got to check out Uncle Brando's
butthole drawing.
Speaker 3: Let's do it. The gulgaria going on there.
Speaker 1: I actually like that.
Speaker 3: This beer is delicious.
Speaker 1: Yes, big show to pile of bones. Yeah, keeping keeping Rusty.
Speaker 3: Jones fuel, keeping, keeping me hydrated.
Speaker 1: Okay, the number ten of now, Brad.
Speaker 3: Did a pretty good job on that one. Number two. Yeah,
that's the secretly that's.
Speaker 1: What he fell nine slots he was two, now he's ten. Yeah,
well it's our second biggest fall.
Speaker 3: Oh you don't see him in CDH anymore.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: People people see get rock Monster and go is it
that get Rod deck And everyone goes no, And then
they're lying pieces of ship and it always is, it
always is, So I mean that makes sense. You see
the get wrong people just go fucking punch this guy
in the face. As hard as he can and he's
still five man. So you're basically you got three turns
to just get freaking punched.
Speaker 1: Real hard off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's maybe a little too slow for where you
want to be.
Speaker 1: Yes. Also, all of the stuff we said last time
still true though. Yeah. Yeah, don't funk around.
Speaker 3: Do not fuck around. That thing comes on the table,
you're be.
Speaker 1: Prepared to get a fast eating out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna get bad. Way, you're gonna get smushed.
Speaker 1: Yep. Okay, So number nine Rendm rand Ma Creaking Nest.
This is a scarecrow from uh, what's the horror sets?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, this is actually a really
cool card.
Speaker 1: Okay. It's a five to five for Gulgarian three legendary
artifact creature scarecrow, which is cool all by itself. Menace reach.
When Randma Creaking Nest enters, and whenever you play a
card with two or more card types, each player creates
a two to two tapped bird creature token with flying
The tokens are goaded for the rest of the game.
Speaker 3: You make a swarm of crows basically.
Speaker 1: But you get them. If I'm playing Rendma and I
play it like an artifact creature. You get a bird
and it's good. It's good, and so.
Speaker 3: Can attack exactly. So the scarecrow is keeping the crows
and with the crows.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 1: That's really cool. I like that.
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I want that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want I can go.
Speaker 1: Along with my CEO bird token where it's just a
middle tre with the CEO logo. They flipping him the bird.
Speaker 3: I actually the first time I ever saw this card
was in Calgary and one of the guys from Rogue's
Passage had a Randmond deck. Man, it was really cool.
Speaker 1: You mean younger, longer, nicer hair, more handsome Rando definitely
smaller wing definitely from Rogues Passage. Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it was. I don't remember
which one it was. It might have been brown if
it wasn't Brow.
Speaker 1: Definitely younger, with longer, nicer hair, and more hands He.
Speaker 3: Is a very handsome guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But uh but yeah, I mean one of them had
a Redmo deck and it was cool and I was like,
what the hell is this thing? I was reading it,
I was like, whoa, this is awesome.
Speaker 1: Seventeen lines of text.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was, it was, but man. Cool.
Speaker 1: Once you once you understand what it does, it's pretty straightforward.
Speaker 3: You're like, give me that bird, give me that bird.
I want to hit that guy with it. Yeah fly yeah,
oh yeah little flyers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well cool. I would build this.
Speaker 3: That was cool.
Speaker 1: I would build this. Not a universe is beyond card Nope,
no number eight pre concord though.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Hazel, Hazel the hazy bloom.
Speaker 1: Okay, squirrels, Yes, squirrel druid three five for grigory and
two tap pay two life tap x untapped tokens you control.
Add that many mannas, So I wonder what kind of
tokens those are gonna wonder if I make infinite squirrels.
Speaker 3: If you call that current design things, it seems good.
Speaker 1: At the beginning of your end step, create a token
that's a copy of target token you control. If that
token is a squirrel, instead, make two. I don't know
if we need to go into what's going on here.
This is the squirrel jerkoff Commander two point.
Speaker 3: Zero, A lot of fucking squirrels and a lot of man.
Speaker 1: And the other one is going to be the other
a jerk off squirrel one that we all know is
gonna be all.
Speaker 3: We all know what's going to be there. That's good.
Maybe there's gonna be another squirrel one that we're not
prepped for, whom.
Speaker 1: I hope so but I never prepped for.
Speaker 3: But or Gerbil buddy mine has a hazel deck and
it's really freaking good. Yeah, and you gotta just do
what you can, just slip down because that it just
goes and then you're dead well very powerful.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any more explanation.
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty much it. Squirrels, squirrels, pump.
Speaker 1: Well seven, Whither Bloom the Balancer.
Speaker 3: Goddamn right, what the fuck is this car card?
Speaker 1: Is this brand new? Yeah? It's uh, this is from
This is from Carl fucking awesome. Last week we saw
a dragon, the black white one from New Strixhaven. This
week they saw it again.
Speaker 3: They're all cracked like the they're the they're the dragons
from the schools or whatever, and almost all of them
are just busted to hell.
Speaker 1: Yes, Wither Bloom a balance.
Speaker 3: You're gonna like this card.
Speaker 1: Green black six Elder Dragon so we can play eh
five to five. I remember this card the affinity for
creatures in Gulguri. Can you imagine for creatures. Are you
gonna have some flying death touch instance and sorcery spells
you cast have affinity for creatures?
Speaker 3: Affinity.
Speaker 1: My favorite thing is reducing or cheating manocosts. Okay, it's
not even like cooks.
Speaker 3: It's affinity. It just has to exist.
Speaker 1: Among my favorite things. Cheating manocosts, but stuff which we're
gonna be doing in glary and mil This guy doesn't milk,
but he probably wouldn't hate it if you would, because
you know what else you can do in your mill
mass reanimate in black and then cast your guys for
fucking nothing.
Speaker 3: Fucking right, even like some flashback or whatever the hell like,
just get some good stuff in there.
Speaker 1: Among my favorite things, flashing, not in a magic related context, yes, flashing.
Speaker 3: Yes, so this card is insane.
Speaker 1: This guy slaps.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it out in the wild, but if
I did, I would be terrified and I would expect
to die very quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what I will criticize here, he's only
a five to five. That's not very much power and toughness.
Speaker 3: That's your criticism.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean that's my criticism. That's the worst part
of death touch for two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know, is it even that good?
I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 1: Ship instance and sorceries have affinity for.
Speaker 3: I can see the gears in your head just spinning.
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That cards, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what it was. The next one, number six,
number six, guy slaps.
Speaker 3: That's crazy, chicks.
Speaker 1: And what do we say, slaps and class as cheeks
and cheeks.
Speaker 3: The old slap and tickle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's any tickle.
Speaker 3: It's your girl.
Speaker 1: Universe is university. Let's go.
Speaker 3: This is number six.
Speaker 1: This is a ub At six. This is because it's
the de facto Spider Commander. Yeah, and and that that
is I want to touch on that. Actually, that's the reason.
The reason that this is in the top ten is
because it is the Spider Commander, so in both one
hundred percent of the Spider color. So it isn't because
this card is so particularly strong, except if you're playing
Lord of the Rings limited. It is literally the best card,
extremely good. But it's the Spider Commander. So this is
Shelab child of angoliand it's an eight eight spider and
it says demon on it, which matters relevant green black
or death touch ward two because everything has Ward two.
Other spiders you control have death touch and ward two
because literally everything has Ward two. It says it right
on the card. Whenever another creature dealt damage this turn
by ass spider you controlled dies, create a token that's
a copy of that creature, except it's a food with sacrifice.
Game three Life.
Speaker 3: This card is pretty cool. This card also kind of
worth mentioning. This is kind of the first one of
these commanders we've seen that does anything with foods.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, lots of things do stuff with foods now. Yeah,
Spider Man's got food stuff, Turtle's got food stuff place.
Speaker 3: Now, this is kind of the first one we saw,
but I mean that the flavor on this card that
is just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, turn your turn your guy.
Speaker 3: Into food into a snack, and anything.
Speaker 1: That Spider's kill turns into food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you give your spiders death touch, so then
you can just fight stuff and then it dies and
then you get it.
Speaker 1: I uh, I would like to paint this and play
it with lots of spider webs on it, and I
think it's really good.
Speaker 3: This is a really cool card.
Speaker 1: I have very definitely lost to this card and Lord
of the Rings Limited never opened it in a pool
or drafted it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin has a a deck of this and it's
pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spiders, it's.
Speaker 3: More getting the foods and doing stuff.
Speaker 1: It's more kind of compe a chef.
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, exactly that he loves that stuff. Cosplayed is
a chef, but.
Speaker 1: One in Atlanta. Yeah. Sure he was asking to shack
up in the discord. One of the benefits.
Speaker 3: People shack up with some strangers in a far away city. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Stations sound far far from far from harm I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Atlanta is actually pretty cool place. Man. I've been there
before and I really enjoyed my time there.
Speaker 1: Only the airport for me, the biggest airport in North
America really by by total passengers annually. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I never would have.
Speaker 1: Guess that, man, Man, nobody would.
Speaker 3: This is a cool ass card though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she loves playing it. Play drafted. If you're playing
Lord of the Six man ate eight very powerful fuck
number five.
Speaker 3: Oh this card, what.
Speaker 1: With the freaking camelton?
Speaker 3: This is this is hysterical, This is.
Speaker 1: High perfect morecant Okay, this is an elf noble, so
get your Noble decks. Yeah, I like Noble. Yeah, it's
a four to four for Ggari two four for four
when high perfect Morkant or another l few control enters,
each opponent blights one whatever. Oh my god, Okay, so
what is what is blite one?
Speaker 3: Mean? Blight is each opponent or you put a minus
one minus one encounter on a creature you control. Oh okay,
so each opponent puts a minus one minus one counter
on a creature they control. Sure, So so Patrick goes
in this deck without a doubt in my mind. The
other thing is that the car that we were talking
about earlier, the Ritian Revel, I think it's called the
elf one. I'm pretty sure it just goes infinite with
this friggin thing.
Speaker 1: And hold on, I haven't even read the next three
lines of text.
Speaker 3: It doesn't even matter.
Speaker 1: Tap three untapped elves you control, proliferate, No, that matters.
Speaker 3: That's pretty freaking pretty Yeah, that's very It's.
Speaker 1: Pretty good, especially if I don't know I have like
infinite l exactly. And just as I'm doing some Gulgary
bullshit and poison count because I'm doing some Gulgary.
Speaker 3: Because we're in the colors for poison.
Speaker 1: Very yeah, very notable that this card is very new.
It's from Clips yet and that just came out a
couple months ago. It's already skyrocketed to on five top five,
top five of all time. A little bit of recency
bias as they call it on d H rec Cast
And uh hm, I feel like poison proliferate totally minus
one minus one counters. It checks a lot of boxes.
Speaker 3: I feel like this is like people are trying to
replace Lathro with this, and I think that that makes
a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well fuck them. This isn't as good as Lathro.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. But this is a kill well
and you can do different stuff, right, Like the blight
thing is cool. Minus one minus one counters. People love
that shit. This is a cool cardctually. Kind of the
more I think about it, and the more I'm kind
of like, well, you know, you can do a lot
of stuff with this. This card is really interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, you know what, I talk
a lot about checking a lot of boxes. Anybody who's
into calves, feet and cameltoes all of them serviced on
this car yep.
Speaker 3: Essentially Yeah, yes, my god, God, dang. Yeh, she have
cloven hoofs? Does she is that? What's going on?
Speaker 1: She's got cameltoes?
Speaker 3: Well yeah, okay, yeah she does. Man, that's wild now
you know is that like? Is that an elf thing? Now?
Is this silent? Is this cannon?
Speaker 1: Ah? That's something m I don't know. I wouldn't want
her to step.
Speaker 3: On my Ah you sure, but you sure?
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know that.
Speaker 3: We can talk more about that. Yeah, yeah, we'll get
after that. We'll get after that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be distracted.
Speaker 3: So who's number four?
Speaker 1: Four?
Speaker 2: Maybe our she dropped?
Speaker 1: Okay? See number one of them? Same stuff?
Speaker 3: You know what they say?
Speaker 1: Stone still has this deck. It's still very good.
Speaker 3: You know what they say. Though you want to be
the best, you gotta beat the best.
Speaker 1: And somebody beat Marior.
Speaker 3: Someone a couple of people be Marrior, and.
Speaker 1: What of them is going to be Lafere?
Speaker 3: We know if Lather is not top three, I will
eat this beer can.
Speaker 1: Okay, well number two.
Speaker 3: I think are we top three? Now? Gary? Where do
you go? See that? Gary turned into a child the
Green Monster.
Speaker 1: Let's do let's do a recap because LB was definitely
not listening. Okay, lb getrog number ten T nine is
random A eight hazel seven six she loves five high
perfect four.
Speaker 3: Man, oh so we are top three. Okay, here we go,
Here we go.
Speaker 1: We go. Oh this is exciting.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm so excited. Oh how do you say the commander.
Speaker 1: Yigra feature of all? Okay, this is an elemental cat
six six for five. I've lost a yigra.
Speaker 3: This card is good.
Speaker 1: This card is good ward sacrifice of food that basically
makes her untargetable if well rest Other creatures are food
artifact in addition to their other types and have to
sacrifice K three life. Okay, so I could sacrifice creature.
Speaker 3: What if I don't have any then you're not targeting
her with anything whatever.
Speaker 1: A food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield.
Put two plus ones on yagra.
Speaker 3: Oh that seems pretty good.
Speaker 1: So if I want to target it, I got a sacrifice.
But that makes you know how many times you try
and target her to deal six damage and then you
sacrifice a food and she's actually eight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, suckers, that's cool. That's cool man, This is
a cool story. But yeah, that's a pretty cool card. Yeah. Yeah,
And also, like you know, like we're talking about foods.
Foods kind of you see that running around a lot more.
But this is a really cool it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: This card, on its very surface, is a six six
for five that whenever a food is sacrificed, Like I
could play my own foods and there's cards now that
are foods that I always want.
Speaker 3: To There's tons and tons of foods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, remember what color combination we're playing? Get them back? Yeah, exactly, artifacts, creatures,
it doesn't matter, will get them back. This card slaps.
Speaker 3: This is so good. Cool picture makes all your stuff foods.
You can just sack stuff like crazy pump Yigra, Yagra, punches.
Speaker 1: Box boxes. Okay, yeah, big creature sacrifice foods, cats, weird.
Speaker 3: Creature, bullshit life game, weird life if you want to Yeah, yeah, man,
that's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's no doubt that this one is is very much.
Speaker 3: In the I'm gonna have to have I'm gonna ask
Aiden what the lore is for this card, because I
have a feeling that the Eater of All is irrelevant
and she's like some crazy, freaking yeah shamon cat that
just eats everything.
Speaker 1: And actually think I know this in Bloomboro there's like
a bunch of It's like the little guys versus the
big elemental guys where there's an owl and a wolf
and a and a cat. Right, they eat them the mice.
Speaker 3: So these all just eat the little mice and the
bunnies and stuff. This is like the big batt This
is the big battye. Okay, see that that checks out?
Speaker 1: Like that?
Speaker 3: Well that thing that's pretty cool, pretty cool?
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, okay, Number two would play? Would play?
Speaker 3: I would I. I would be really curious to see.
I have a feeling he probably this just turns into
some DJN combo deck.
Speaker 1: But if yes, if I'm going to play a food
deck though, I'm gonna play she Love because it's.
Speaker 3: A lord yeah checks out, checks out? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And spiders and gulgari also have more support than cats
in the guard.
Speaker 3: Also to giving your spiders death touch is pretty freaking awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And they all have reach, which is just death touch
and reach. Yeah, good luck punching me death touch reach
ward two.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, I accept.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so far that is the one that I would play.
Though I have made a lateral deck in the past.
Speaker 3: I still I still have the pre con Yeah, untouched. Yeah,
sleeved and ready to.
Speaker 1: Go number two, number two of now.
Speaker 3: Ah fucking knew it. We talked about We talked about
this earlier. Yeah, yeah, I see this guy a lot.
He's really really good. Oh, you should read.
Speaker 1: The card forest Walk three three Squirrel Warrior for three
three three Forest Walk for threes. Already fine, pretty good
on your commander. If one or more tokens would be
created under your control, those plus a squirrel are created.
So if you make a food token, make a squirrel,
you make a squirrel, make two squirrels, make a sapling,
Make a sapling and a squirrel. You make a treasure,
Make a treasure and a squirrel. Right, you can see
why this is good.
Speaker 3: This is very good.
Speaker 1: Also, black sac x squirrels. Target creature gets minus x
minus x until end of turn plus x minusx plus
x minus x. Actually funny, funny, funny story about this.
And I know we've only got one creature left. We
know what it is, so I'm gonna tell this story.
So I'm playing against dude. It's it's high power and
he thought his chatterfang was a CEDH deck and I'm like,
I'm playing anamar. Okay, it was pretty cedh at the time.
This was five, five or six years ago and or
whenever this first came out, and he was a squirrel simp.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, what did this come out? And do you remember?
Is it muddy.
Speaker 1: Rises?
Speaker 3: I think so? I think so, Yeah, MiB wrong, he tells.
Speaker 1: He goes black sack three squirrels give Anamar plus x
minus x and Anamar was a three to three. And
he's like, oh my, my commander's green even though I
have to use black. I got you because Anamar has
pro black. And I go, hm, it's funny. I control
my commander. And are you sure that you want to
go black sacrifice three to give minus three. He goes, yeah,
I go you don't want to like go black sacrifice
black sacrifice, black sacrifice to give minus one minus one
minus one. He goes, nope, I go cool deflecting swat
kill your commander, attack you, kill you. He goes, oh,
I was going to use those tickets. I was winning
to buy a duel land anymore.
Speaker 3: Sorry, buddy, better luck next time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, chatterfank, that's it's good. We've lost a chatterfang on
sidewalk Slam. Chatterfang is usually the de facto kill first
commander Chatterfang.
Speaker 3: Is very good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh you do
see it. You do see it a lot though, and
freaking terrifying. You're right, de facto kill first that actually resonate.
Speaker 1: Bloomborough did anything for my disdain of squirrels. It kind
of spread the love. So now when I see a
squirrel deck, I don't just strictly have to hate on Chatterfang.
It could be anybody. Now, it could be any squirrel Commander's.
Speaker 3: True, any any like Gulgary squirrel person, And you're just like,
well you should probably die.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well number one of Now.
Speaker 3: If it's not lateral meetings beerhead, there we go, it's
it's Latheryl.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Lathrow two three Elf Noble Bulgari and two
with menace because she needs that. Whenever Lathreal deals combat
damage to a player, create that many plus that many
Elf Warrior tokens one ones also tap and tap ten
elves you control. Each opponent loses ten, you gain ten.
Speaker 3: Very good. I have died to the to the ability
lots of times.
Speaker 1: Yes, you pair this ability alongside the Elf token production
capabilities of the deck, and you put in some aristocrats
or elf rocrats because those exist, yep. And you put
in Bolus's citadel, so you can just pay off the
top of your deck. I'll pay life, pay life, pay life,
pay life, pay life, pay life.
Speaker 3: Got ten guys, just dump them all into the field.
Speaker 1: Tap tap tap ten. Everybody lose ten. Ten. Just kind
of sacrifice Lathroo and get her back equipped these lightning grieves.
Tap ten, lose ten. Yeah, this deck really slaps. And
the example I gave was just using Latheral's ability, right,
never mind having a Zuri and Camal and seventeen different
overrun effects and triumph of the hordes and like traditional
elf ball twenty guys, crater hoof behemoth yep, like gold
dang this deck that it's not the commander that checks
the boxes because it just says elf on it and
that's enough. But the rest of the deck checks boxes
combo drain, recursion, big creature beat down, huge damage tokens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's just the kind of the first
real super powerful elf ball Gulgari elf ball commander that
elves were relevant to and you can just pump with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's of course other elf ball commanders in Mono Green,
which we looked at when we did MONOGREENP and this
one is does work, is better or if you don't
want that, just play Green, but this one is better.
So play this one because you can get access to
all the black You get all the black elves, oh
my god, you know all the black elves, the Black tutors,
the Black mass reanimate and the ten untapped elves you
control don't need to have haste and they can really
summoning sick. It just matters that latheryl isn't yep. So yeah,
super uh, super powerful. And I I played it, I
don't know, maybe five or six times. I played it
at maybe one face to face event, Like I said.
Speaker 3: I got I have the untouched pre con and it's
old and it's still good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So man's like that too. Yeah yeah, man, it's
no wonder she's still in the top five now right
of all time.
Speaker 3: Well it's like probably the best re animator or the
best re animator commander, so it makes sense, right, Yeah, So.
Speaker 1: One universe is beyond yep, so I can definitively say
that Universes beyond has not ruined Bulgari hasn't overwhelmed us
with with BULLSHITEP. It just doesn't. It hasn't affected it
as much as people think.
Speaker 3: We definitely saw some trends change. We saw squirrels, Yes,
we saw some foods.
Speaker 1: I think squirrels were always a trend, but now they
have kind of.
Speaker 3: A shape, yeah, true, true shape, and there's and more support,
better support.
Speaker 1: And there's two shapes or two ways to play. Now
they play big Man of squirrels or big token squirrels
as if they're different.
Speaker 3: We saw like an actual elf ball Commander.
Speaker 1: Elf Ball was traditionally mono green. Now it's very definitely
green black.
Speaker 3: So I mean, yeah, you definitely see a I would
say from the previous top ten to this, you do
see quite a bit of shift in the themes, which
is really interesting. I'm quite surprised that we didn't see
black in the top ten, but we did.
Speaker 1: A black deck on Commander Cookoat of old original strict
saving right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's like a new one now, but I
was I'm kind of surprised we didn't see that one.
I think that I think that card is super strong.
Fuck them, yeah, like the guy that puts plus ones
on your pests. So I mean eat ship. I guess, buddy.
Speaker 1: If I was going to pick up a Black or
a lath Rill or a Zuri Renegade Leader from my
lathal deck, I would go to Usually Online dot com
