Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, sir, Okay, So this week we are
Speaker 2: going to cover our favorite cards from Tarkire Dragonstorm. I
Speaker 2: have a lot of cards that I really like. They're
Speaker 2: the kind of thing though that, like most people don't
Speaker 2: give a crap for about Commander because they just they're
Speaker 2: a random uncommon or common that go into my niche deck.
Speaker 3: Or they'll find like a land or they say draw
Speaker 3: to lose to discards.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, yeah, another version of anything that is like
Speaker 2: actually good or playable. But I think that you've got
Speaker 2: a curated list. I've got a curated list. Some of
Speaker 2: our cards match. We didn't look up beforehand to see
Speaker 2: which ones are matching. So exciting.
Speaker 3: Don't see how many actors we have.
Speaker 2: I do know that you have some some of mine
Speaker 2: because I cheated and looked at your list.
Speaker 3: What the hell and I arranged my I didn't tell
Speaker 3: you I have all the Commander cards from the Commander decks, yes.
Speaker 3: Then I have like the big talked about cards, yes,
Speaker 3: And then I have just some like the junk that
Speaker 3: I looked through and I'm like, I like these. I
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm gonna play them necessarily, but they
Speaker 3: are cards that I like and I would play them
Speaker 3: if I had a spot for them, lots of them.
Speaker 3: I don't because they're three colors and I don't have
Speaker 3: a ton of three color decks and have a lot
Speaker 3: of room in them.
Speaker 2: Do you have a ton of three color decks.
Speaker 3: Nope, I have do any four color decks?
Speaker 2: Nope, you don't like four?
Speaker 3: I have one? I have a track set.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Don't like four color decks. If you're gonna play four,
Speaker 3: is play.
Speaker 2: Five, or or make it easier on yourself, play three,
Speaker 2: or just play two. You've got lots of two color decks, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah, I think, I think mostly. I got
Speaker 2: twos and threes. I got one five, bunch of bunch
Speaker 2: of bunch of mono decks.
Speaker 3: I like monods, like monocolor decks too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just built a new five color deck. I built
Speaker 3: the Tamat deck that I was talking about.
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna play that thing three times and
Speaker 2: then take it apart? Yep, Oh okay, well as long as.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, absolutely, I'm perfectly aware that that's what's
Speaker 3: going to happen. But it was kind of fun to
Speaker 3: go through my binders and just pull out all the big, stupid,
Speaker 3: fucking idiot cards. Yes, just because they say dragon on them.
Speaker 3: So I'm pretty excited for that. That's gonna be pretty cool.
Speaker 3: And then if the combo actually works the one time,
Speaker 3: I figure I can turn to it. Oh that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Hey turn two team at yeah, triple T.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say two things. First thing, build
Speaker 2: a deck, play it a few times, take it apart.
Speaker 2: I think that this is like a de facto way
Speaker 2: that people should be playing magic. I don't I know
Speaker 2: that pet decks exist, and developing and tuning a deck
Speaker 2: over time is like a like a thing that's unique
Speaker 2: to commander, which is great, and that's another way that
Speaker 2: the format ought to be played. Yeah, but if you
Speaker 2: build something and then it's like, hey, I've done the thing.
Speaker 2: I can take it apart and do something else with it,
Speaker 2: It's it's like it's using your magic cards like Lego,
Speaker 2: where you just have like a tub of lego, where
Speaker 2: I want to build a thing, play with it a
Speaker 2: little bit, and then take it apart so I can
Speaker 2: build something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Lego theory. I'm coining that. I'm using two
Speaker 2: trademarks that don't belong to me and I'm stealing them.
Speaker 3: Good. I love theft.
Speaker 2: Theft is my favorite crime right after Arson. Yes, oh,
Speaker 2: I think theft is better than Arson.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man like Arsen's pretty cool and it
Speaker 3: keeps you warm if you're cold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't argue. I can't argue your crime theory.
Speaker 3: And if you're really hungry, you could roast a marshmallow.
Speaker 3: I've been watching this. No, I had to say.
Speaker 2: I had a second thing, and I don't freaking remember now.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about tark Here Dragonstorm Limited.
Speaker 3: Oh I hate it. Oh, I hate everything about it.
Speaker 2: Do you hate it? Hatter? Do you hate it?
Speaker 3: I on it, truly, And this would make me something
Speaker 3: such a comudgeon are It wasn't because of the people
Speaker 3: that we played with, oh or the space that we
Speaker 3: were in.
Speaker 2: F that guy and that place.
Speaker 3: Fuck it was one of the worst magic playing experiences
Speaker 3: I have ever had in my life, in my whole life.
Speaker 3: Like it was just like maybe we forced our decks.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know, but they just didn't
Speaker 3: fucking work.
Speaker 2: Couldn't have been the two schooners of beer you had
Speaker 2: before you went and played.
Speaker 3: Couldn't no chance. And there's no way that I had
Speaker 3: anything to do with the two schooners I had after
Speaker 3: I went to play either.
Speaker 2: I got a buy in the first round, went and
Speaker 2: had a schooner.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and then went to turns and oh, man,
Speaker 2: just couldn't seal the deal. Couldn't seal the deal. I
Speaker 2: had five of the storm Shriek Regals or whatever, the
Speaker 2: three three flying haste Omen guy, yep, six cards left
Speaker 2: in my library.
Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
Speaker 2: And I was just flying hasting everybody.
Speaker 3: Ben had five of those two and just did didn't help.
Speaker 2: Hell, you should have had five of them. You would
Speaker 2: have made good use of that card.
Speaker 3: No, I was because I had all the removal Oh,
Speaker 3: I had fifteen removal spells and branch game myop two
Speaker 3: random or one.
Speaker 2: I've discovered your fatal flaw in magic the Gathering playing
Speaker 2: Cards rule system. Tell me you're the agro player. You
Speaker 2: play the three to three flying Hayster. Oh, somebody else
Speaker 2: played control deck. That's how we did it. When we
Speaker 2: did Lord of the Rings, I played a twelve removal
Speaker 2: spell dot deck. You played deal thirty damage in one turn.
Speaker 2: That's why we won. All right, thirty damage one turn.
Speaker 2: Turns out that.
Speaker 3: That's good, and it turns out that's fine, All right, fine, fine,
Speaker 3: Maybe we did it wrong. Ah, but the fact is
Speaker 3: it still wasn't a lot of fun. If you are
Speaker 3: having fun playing the limited format. I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2: You know what the thing about magic the gathering is
Speaker 2: and everybody in the damn Studio Network Studio Studio can
Speaker 2: can hear me out here? Is ah, everybody does it
Speaker 2: wrong and is bad. It's like skateboarding. I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody's good at skateboarding. Some people just like get a
Speaker 2: trick on video tape and edit a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: getting the trick on videotape into a reel so it's
Speaker 2: like ten minutes long, and then they look good at skateboarding.
Speaker 2: That's not Magic's like I know what like ten of
Speaker 2: the cards of my deck do, but I don't know
Speaker 2: how to play them, Like I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's magic is skateboarding. It's like the meme where the
Speaker 2: guy does a kickflip on the rake and it hits
Speaker 2: him in the face.
Speaker 3: What I've never seen that.
Speaker 2: It's a meme. You'll recognize it. It's like when anybody
Speaker 2: asks Tony Hawk is he good at skateboarding?
Speaker 3: He says no, Well that's because he's Tony Hawk. Though. Here.
Speaker 3: I love those videos where it's like people are telling
Speaker 3: Tony Hawk about how cool, Tony Hawk is so, and
Speaker 3: then he says, yeah, I know, I'm Tony Hawk. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: and they're like, shut up, the.
Speaker 2: Best one, the best one. Tony Hawk's checking out in
Speaker 2: at the grocery store and cashier teller person goes, hey,
Speaker 2: you look like that guy Tony Hawk. Oh cool, I
Speaker 2: wonder what he's up these days. Tony Hawk says this cool.
Speaker 3: He seems like a dude who would be like fun
Speaker 3: at a party or cool to have a beer with.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true, but I choose to
Speaker 3: think that.
Speaker 2: What you're saying is is basically, I'm Tony Hawk, sure,
Speaker 2: except of Magic the Gathering, because I can't play Magic
Speaker 2: the Gathering, and I'd be fun to have a beer with.
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, frick, yeah, frick. We just need to
Speaker 3: be rich like Tony Hawk. And then because that guy
Speaker 3: has Tony Hawk pro skater one, two, three four and
Speaker 3: skate money.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, underground, he's probably so rich underground too.
Speaker 2: So what else? What else we got to talk about?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Hey, I wanted to talk about something here. I got
Speaker 2: a note. Oh tell me in the Discord server. There
Speaker 2: is a there's a bot in there that you can
Speaker 2: like attach its fucking thing to your name and Discord
Speaker 2: and it's called YouTube Notify or Twitch notify. And when
Speaker 2: you go live, when you stream with different Avenue Media
Speaker 2: Network Studio Network, it'll notify those people in Discord. Oh
Speaker 2: and when we post something to the YouTube channel, if
Speaker 2: you have YouTube notifying Discord, it'll let you know. So
Speaker 2: if you want to watch the other c C o
Speaker 2: MG stuff like gems, don't mind John, it'll notify you
Speaker 2: when John's episodes come up because he only does them
Speaker 2: every two weeks.
Speaker 3: That's fun.
Speaker 2: So we gotta we gotta pimp that a little bit.
Speaker 2: We gotta let people know that.
Speaker 3: I'll have to learn how to use it before I
Speaker 3: tell anybody to do it.
Speaker 2: Though you could just tell them to do it.
Speaker 3: Is that how that works? Ye'd listen, okay, do it
Speaker 3: or else? That worked there, Totally worked, man.
Speaker 2: So we're having we're having schooners yesterday, me and Aiden
Speaker 2: because we totally won round one when we got our bye,
Speaker 2: totally won a free booster pack for sitting there drinking beer.
Speaker 3: No, you get one to start participating.

Speaker 2: want it drinking beer. We're talking about Vegas, and he

Speaker 2: and uh I kind of volunteered you me to like
Speaker 2: be okay with walking places.
Speaker 3: Yeah, walk everywhere in Vegas, Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't know why everybody's so heated verse cowards.
Speaker 3: It's probably because they don't live in a place where
Speaker 3: the air physically hurts us for six months out of
Speaker 3: the year. Where like when the air just gently encourage
Speaker 3: us to lay down and go to sleep and die
Speaker 3: is so nice.
Speaker 2: In comparison, the air here encourages my fingers to fall
Speaker 2: off my body.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is much worse than like a warm hug
Speaker 3: when you go outside. And yes, the hug is a
Speaker 3: little too tight sometimes, but like.
Speaker 2: Mant makes my legs chafe.
Speaker 3: It's just sunny all the time and there's barely any bugs.
Speaker 2: Gives me a rash man, It's so good. I'm so
Speaker 2: excited for the sun I am. I'm excited for Edge
Speaker 2: of Eternity. That's like the that's the set that's coming out, right,

Speaker 3: they will have full sets already. Yeah, I'm I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: I'm pumped. I've got some extra tark Here packs that
Speaker 2: might come along to Vegas.
Speaker 3: It's too bad.
