Speaker 3: the weekend looking for something warm. So like now we
Speaker 3: have some hobo that went around the building. It just
Speaker 3: like picked up a coat, wore it, and then abandon it.
Speaker 1: Oh very much, so very much. So I uh the
Speaker 1: mystery coat story.

Speaker 1: There's gonna be beer. Yeah, and I've got that. I
Speaker 1: picked up the CEO beer coozies. I think when we
Speaker 1: sell them at face to face, we got to just
Speaker 1: call them koozies. But we all know what they're for.
Speaker 1: Beverage beverage coozies.
Speaker 2: Yes, koozies are cozies. That was called them cozies because
Speaker 2: the can is cozy.
Speaker 3: When it's in.
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's also like a jacuzzi for your beer.
Speaker 3: But jacuzzies only keep you one temperature, and that temperature
Speaker 3: is warm.
Speaker 1: No, they keep your they keep your hand warm.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Yes, now, what they're for?
Speaker 3: I thought they were?
Speaker 2: We didn't drink, didn't We.
Speaker 1: Literally had this conversation last week. They do three things
Speaker 1: and this is science is brandology one on one Okay.
Speaker 1: So they keep your cold drink cold, okay. Or they
Speaker 1: keep your warm drink warm a jacuzzi like those things,
Speaker 1: k Or they insulate your hand from the temperature of
Speaker 1: the drink. Oh there you go.
Speaker 3: Now you know that last function I never really considered
Speaker 3: very important.
Speaker 1: Yeah, obvious, especially when we're at like this tween weather
Speaker 1: where it's like do I need gloves on? Is it cold?
Speaker 1: Is it warm?
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a jack, but I'm also still wearing shorts
Speaker 3: because I don't even know what I'm supposed to do
Speaker 3: with my life.
Speaker 1: So we are a Magic the Gathering podcast. If you're
Speaker 1: watching or if you're listening online, welcome. I did my
Speaker 1: first rip through with the Mind Skinner. I got four skinnered.
Speaker 1: And what I did was this. So I said, you
Speaker 1: weren't at EDH and m though, No, no, no. This was
Speaker 1: on Monday at Smiddy's house. Okay. So I sits down
Speaker 1: with with f you Aiden and Fu Larra. It was
Speaker 1: a three player game, so take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: But it it worked good. So listen to this. I says, Okay,
Speaker 1: I've got the mind skinnered ten to one. Can't be
Speaker 1: blocked for three when you take damage from me, each
Speaker 1: opponent mills that many cards, it doesn't take the damage,
Speaker 1: and yeah, prevent the damage. So we did a deck
Speaker 1: tech on a couple weeks ago, and I says to
Speaker 1: Aidan and Laura, I've got my brewvac Cedh deck, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to take out Brewvak and put them in
Speaker 1: the ninety nine and I'm gonna replace maddening cacophony like
Speaker 1: the combo with Brewvak. Yeah, like I'm taking cacophony out
Speaker 1: Brewvak in, and then in the command zone I'm putting
Speaker 1: the mind Skinner just because i want to try like
Speaker 1: doing the aggro thing. And there's a couple creatures that
Speaker 1: are like just Cedh creatures right that don't really aren't
Speaker 1: really there for attacking, and a bunch of counter spells,
Speaker 1: so just be aware. I'm gonna try and hit you
Speaker 1: with a ten to one like a bunch of times
Speaker 1: to kill you, okay, And they were like, okay, yeah, cool,
Speaker 1: give it a rip through right right and man alive, Okay.
Speaker 1: Turn three, attack with mind Skinner mil ten, turn four, Milton,
Speaker 1: turn five mil ten, and I've got either counter spells
Speaker 1: or bounce or whatever, or like when mind Skinner died,
Speaker 1: play him again, right, because he costs five for ten power.
Speaker 2: That's good bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I got I got six or seven attacks in,
Speaker 1: and then I got a brewvac down. I think I
Speaker 1: got six attacks in. Then I got I naturally drew
Speaker 1: the Brew of Act. So when you mill, you milt
Speaker 1: like twenty now, and I got everybody down to about
Speaker 1: twenty cards. I think Aiden had thirteen cards.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: And that was just playing counter spells and mind Skinner
Speaker 1: and we all had a really good time. Laura was
Speaker 1: playing a sort of graveyard lands deck and Aiden's always
Speaker 1: playing graveyard and lands decks, right, that's his thing. And
Speaker 1: it both helped them so they didn't want to get
Speaker 1: rid of mind Skinner. But they were constantly counting like
Speaker 1: number of cards and graveyards, number of cards and libraries,
Speaker 1: and it put them enough on edge that they were concerned.
Speaker 1: So it was like a like a dynamic and interesting game.
Speaker 1: I had a good time with it, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: went home and got all my other like remember on
Speaker 1: Sidewalk Slam a few times ago, I played brew.
Speaker 3: Back Beats, Yes, brew Back and the boys brew Back
Speaker 3: and the boys the beats.
Speaker 1: Basically, I took that deck and added all of the
Speaker 1: things that like, care about number of islands you have,
Speaker 1: like tempest gin gets bigger for each island you have,
Speaker 1: draw card for each island you have, and a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff that says.
Speaker 2: The stuff we played in the deck.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And lots of stuff like on the high end,
Speaker 1: sphinxes that draw me cards or mill you fleet swallower,
Speaker 1: mill half your library when he when he hits you.
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff, and like this five and six
Speaker 1: man of stuff that says draw cards equal to the
Speaker 1: number of cards and opponent's hand with rebound like ideas
Speaker 1: unbound or whatever.
Speaker 3: Now I was listening to every word that you just said,
Speaker 3: and that sounds whatever.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: It was the top end stuff that lets me fill
Speaker 1: my hand back up after I've deployed all of my equipments.
Speaker 1: That hit you harder.
Speaker 2: Let me hit you with this. Sure, hit you with this.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: If fleet swallower was a sphinx, Okay, it.
Speaker 3: Would be a fleet swallowing sphincter.
Speaker 2: Do not google that.
Speaker 3: No, sounds like, but boy, you may continue the story.
Speaker 2: Well, that sounds really good. That was really cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Basically at what I did was sleeved it up with
Speaker 1: the equipments that I had, Like I ordered. I ordered
Speaker 1: from Fusion a fire Shrieker for pickup in Calgary because
Speaker 1: I didn't have that random fifty cent on common that's
Speaker 1: been printed ten times.
Speaker 2: It wasn't in my one pack of horizons.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about foundations, so we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about that. I ordered a fire Shrieker and
Speaker 1: I think I think that that was it. Sphinxes, a
Speaker 1: couple Leviathan type things for the top end, a bunch
Speaker 1: of card draw I've got a brewvac. Look at my sleeve,
Speaker 1: I look like a hoble. I've got a Brewvac, a
Speaker 1: fire Shrieker, and a Colossus hammer. All that give plus
Speaker 1: ten double strike or double mill. So those are my
Speaker 1: three damage doublers. Hey sounds like a red deck. Hey,
Speaker 1: three damage doublers and lots of card draw to find them.
Speaker 1: No tutors because I want to keep it on hard
Speaker 1: mode casual, right.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: So that's that was my magic this week, was playing
Speaker 1: my Skinner and actually having to do lots of work.
Speaker 2: Oh, let me tell you a game story. So on
Speaker 2: Thursday eighth and m yep.
Speaker 3: I brought out one of my decks and I wanted
Speaker 3: to actually homework to see if one of my thoughts
Speaker 3: about a commander we're to talk about one tomorrow's show. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's correct, Ye spoiler it is okay, double spoiler the
Speaker 3: card coma.
Speaker 1: Coma, then new Coma, the eight twelve.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's new Coma.
Speaker 2: Then there's old Coma.
Speaker 1: Yes, I thought being Numa and old Ma.
Speaker 3: Numa is fixed old Ma because they're like, man, that
Speaker 3: that coma way too good? Yeah, way too good. Gotta
Speaker 3: make him way worse. Yeah that was me forgetting to
Speaker 3: put my phone onto silence. I'm gonna do that while
Speaker 3: I talk.
Speaker 1: Sure, so.
Speaker 2: We have coma.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had.
Speaker 3: A really good start and it ended up with my
Speaker 3: I had a six six uncounterable, essentially indestructible, outfightable army
Speaker 3: grade and coma on turn three indestrunctible because you can
Speaker 3: sack a coma coma coil to make her instructible.
Speaker 1: I know what you said, indistrunctible, and that was it's
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 3: So starting on turn three, I have this coma and
Speaker 3: the other guy's like, hey, we just have to kill
Speaker 3: this Coma and we'll win, but of course they can't
Speaker 3: because Coma is really hard to kill. And then it
Speaker 3: was like turn four doubling season. But along with that
Speaker 3: doubling season came a midnight cock, and you like your
Speaker 3: midnight cock, my midnight cock, and I had the win
Speaker 3: in my hands with counter spell backup.
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, but this game is miserable for everybody.
Speaker 3: Everybody's sad because I'm obviously going to win, and so
Speaker 3: I shuffles my hand and graveyard into my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you time twisted yourself, and.
Speaker 3: I time twisted myself when I didn't need to because
Speaker 3: I had to, and I drew get this six basic
Speaker 3: lands and the lightning griefs.
Speaker 1: Did you did you win? Still? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely I did. It took me like four more turns.
Speaker 3: I was gonna just like win on the spot the.
Speaker 1: Game, but you had to midnight clock your hand away
Speaker 1: because it had like time counters or whatever on right,
Speaker 1: So sad.
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about why Coma is is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we we both have. I've come prepared
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a list right of what
Speaker 1: there's commanders that go into ninety nine's Yes, there's commanders
Speaker 1: that are of course gonna lead decks. There's commanders that
Speaker 1: are extravagantly priced because of the special guest artists and
Speaker 1: only in Jumpstarts.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, do not get those yet?
Speaker 1: Do not? Yeah, wait for the promo code at Fusion
Speaker 1: to reset and then get the nets.
Speaker 2: And they're gonna think Maxes.
Speaker 3: When I bought my Maxes, I jumped on it right
Speaker 3: away because I thought, oh my god, I'm never gonna
Speaker 3: be able to get one of these, and I think
Speaker 3: I paid something like fifty bucks. And now they're four Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they're readily available. You can get them anywhere. The
Speaker 3: same is going to be true for these things. The
Speaker 3: special printings are the only printings of these cards, and
Speaker 3: you get one in every Jumpstart pack. So they're not
Speaker 3: eighty dollars.
Speaker 2: That Jellyfish Girl is not eighty usd don't pay.
Speaker 1: That, no, but we boys are gonna pay it.
Speaker 2: Yeah they are.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know what's funny. You know what's funny
Speaker 1: about all that is, I put I just redid my
Speaker 1: whole wish list on Fusion with the website update. I
Speaker 1: did the whole wish list again and I put a
Speaker 1: but like every version of Breuvak on there's like five
Speaker 1: printings of Breuvak and it's funny. He's still a thirty
Speaker 1: dollars card. He's in og Jumpstart, he's in the list,
Speaker 1: he was in Ravnaka Remastered. There's Ravnaka Remastered retro frame,
Speaker 1: and then there's the Ravnaka Remastered retro frame, the serialized.
Speaker 2: One, the borderless one too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah yeah, but.
Speaker 2: Those were all in one set that was like a
Speaker 2: master's set.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose well, and the list doesn't really affect
Speaker 1: prices that much. And the one from Jumpstart is a
Speaker 1: thirty dollars card, right, So that's a weird one that
Speaker 1: you talk about Muxist going down because I think if
Speaker 1: he's not leading your Goblin deck, I don't think he
Speaker 1: goes in every Goblin deck. No, but if you're playing Mill,
Speaker 1: Breuveak is the most popular mill commander.
Speaker 2: Buy a lot and for a reason.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, exactly. Yeah, And uh, I want another one
Speaker 1: so I could have the one that goes in my
Speaker 1: mind Skinner deck just in it and not have to
Speaker 1: use my one that's my commander for my CDH deck.
Speaker 3: It checks out, yes, so open and Jumpstart I got,
Speaker 3: I got one store to tell Jumpstarter Foundations Foundation, it's
Speaker 3: gonna foundation story to tell collect Collective boost now alas
Speaker 3: there probably might there might not be a BBO on
Speaker 3: the CEO YTC because I forgot to pre order my boxes.
Speaker 1: He god dame fucked.
Speaker 3: Up, man, because I thought it was released next week.
Speaker 3: I always order the Monday so that other people can
Speaker 3: have a shot at grabbing stuff. And I'm not like
Speaker 3: hoarding all the product, right.
Speaker 1: I am willing to bet, and I would put money
Speaker 1: that somebody in the nation or Uncle Kelly at Face
Speaker 1: to Face Games will probably have some Foundations that we
Speaker 1: can open.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, well.
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know. You're gonna get your fixed.
Speaker 3: We'll see where it goes. I goes into the store

Speaker 1: I love that foiling process. We're gonna talk about that
Speaker 1: to next week.
Speaker 2: I got it, we are, okay.
Speaker 3: I got a borderless uh that night. That makes it
Speaker 3: so whenever you gain life, your opponents lose life.
Speaker 2: Oh the exquisite blood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the creature, the exquisite blood creature. Yeah, he's a vampire, right.
Speaker 2: I got the borderless el drasi.
Speaker 1: Oh with with the center text, the.
Speaker 3: Seven or just with Caraven and seven other abilities, and
Speaker 3: I got one other card.
Speaker 2: All of them were worth money.
Speaker 3: I got a single dud card in this whole, and
Speaker 3: I got one of the Liliana planes that Alex won.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I like that plane or swamp sorry swamp,
Speaker 3: but good man. And I was just sitting a man.
Speaker 3: I will never open a pack this good again in
Speaker 3: my entire life. In my entire life, I will never
Speaker 3: open a pack. Oh and I'm a foil doubling season,
Speaker 3: so I'll never open another pack like that again.
Speaker 4: Got a casual foil doubling seasons Jesus, Oh good, I'm happy.
Speaker 4: So it was really cool, But like, did you go
Speaker 4: back into the LGS and trade it all? Back in
Speaker 4: for store credit.
Speaker 3: No, I'm going to though he's not by listening it yet,
Speaker 3: but it'll all end up back in the store. So
Speaker 3: if you're listening locally or you like to order from
Speaker 3: our local store, all that ship will be available probably
Speaker 3: when you get back to Calgary.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go.
Speaker 3: Well, so far Foundations is good and it's been selling
Speaker 3: really well, just based on what local people have told us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's people.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, I'm telling you the classic corset,
Speaker 1: Magic Vibe Corset is so traditionally just fun. It's like
Speaker 1: you're first introduction. I almost said to Magic the Gathering,
Speaker 1: but we're already in that universe. It's like the first
Speaker 1: time you ever play Dungeons and Dragons. It's like the
Speaker 1: first time you play a fantasy RPG on your PlayStation. Like,
Speaker 1: that's what like coreset magic is. And I think that
Speaker 1: for that reason it's popular. It's going to be the
Speaker 1: set that introduces new players, and that's always fun, playing
Speaker 1: like first games of whatever, Jumpstart, Limited Commander with new players,
Speaker 1: that's always fun. Crushian nubes, stomping nubes, yet telling them
Speaker 1: that we only play for money. Yep, just kidding, we
Speaker 1: don't do that, but totally would. Yeah, Foundations is I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be fun and there's good cards in it. Yes,
Speaker 1: then there's good cards, which is which is what we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about tomorrow is the Legends, and then
Speaker 1: the following week is going to be the rest of
Speaker 1: the set proper, like where to get certain printings. You're
Speaker 1: always up on that. You've seen the multiple foiling process
Speaker 1: sees and alternate arts in person. Now in one pack,
Speaker 1: mind you. Yeah, so you've seen You've seen all of
Speaker 1: that and kind of got the dopamine hit from doing that,
Speaker 1: which you can tell everybody about.
Speaker 3: I haven't even eaten since then because I'm so high
Speaker 3: on like, oh yeah, the first time ever.
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it feels like.
