armpit sweat.

Speaker 3: I didn't shower to day either, probably.
Speaker 2: Oh that's on the internet now, that's fine. Gold Dang.

Judios Network Network.
Speaker 2: You go, what are we talking about too?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, we haven't even hit them with
the Okay, So in the Arc of Evolution, what we
have been doing, we have been If you want the
full explanation, you can go back a few episodes watch
Armano White. We give a detailed breakdown of what we're doing.
Very basically, we're going back to twenty nineteen, which is
the year before Universes Beyond cards started being printed. We're
taking the top ten commanders in each color. We're gonna
talk about those, and we're gonna compare them to the
top ten commanders in those colors in the present day
as of recording. I mean, as you're listening to this,
maybe those have changed. The twenty nineteen ones have not.
The engineers at dhreck dot Com have provided us with
the mathematical information, so it's scientific and very proven and
all those kinds of things, and we're.
Speaker 2: Gonna very yeah, data driven, which is the only thing
that magic players care about apparently, and.
Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna do that, and we're gonna see,
in addition to how things have kind of changed over
the years, whether Universes Beyond is really taking over and
destroying commander.
Speaker 2: Thus far, Red and Blue have had three Universes Beyond
commanders in the top ten, and those two colors have
been the two colors that have had the most UB
commanders so far.
Speaker 1: Yes, and we've had one number one in it being
a UBI.
Speaker 2: Card and it was black, Black with what's his name
ab boy? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I was looking forward
to green because I'm very polarized about green. I'm thinking
it's the color that changed the least yep, and it's
also the color that could have changed the most.
Speaker 1: And I did input the information to make it named properly,
so the slides come up in the mata.
Speaker 2: Oh, very good.
Speaker 1: But I do make a point to do it, like
really like early in the week that I kind of
forget about it after by the time we get here,
But I remember being like, huh, looking at great are
a very distinct feeling of huh huh. Yeah, so we're
gonna We're gonna see So maybe that was a surprise, huh.
Maybe it was uh disappointed.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: We'll have to find out together.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got, I got, I got one more little
thing here, and it's because we forgot to do it
last week and I'm a I'm a schmuck head for
doing it.
Speaker 1: Guy, is it thanking our good friends at Pilot Bones Brwinco,
who are the official sponsors of CEOs Slam Season three?
Going back soon to YouTube when you get around to it,
because you're working hard and it takes time.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna add to that. Okay,
we drank some non Pilot Bones beer today, we did.
Very disappointed. Correct, Also wish it was pile of Bones
beer because guess what wouldn't have been disappointed?
Speaker 1: Also? Correct?
Speaker 2: You should drink Pilo Bones beer. If you're somewhere that
it's distributed, if you're in Saskatchewan, if you're in Western Canada,
heaven forbid. You come to Magic Con Ryan's yard in August,
or magic Con the hockey rink also near my backyard
next January. If Face to Face Games comes in January again,
which they want to.
Speaker 1: Do, they'll probably do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we eat fifty chicken tendies and drink buckets of
beer and drink Pilot Bones beer.
Speaker 1: Or if you're not going to the hockey rink, you
come hang out with me and we drink the buckets
of beer, but we don't eat the fifty chicken tendies.
We usually go for something else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, either is fine. I want to say a big
thank you and f you to returning patron. Oh shit,
Brandon elper. Given somebody an elper sounds like something there.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's something dirty for sure. Here giving them an elper.
Here's what we're gonna do. Is that like an elbow job?
Speaker 2: Is that like when you squeeze your elbows together and
do the thing.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm googling it right now and I'm
going to google what an elper is?
Speaker 2: An elper. I'm going to get over to the the
card images.
Speaker 1: Elper. What is an elper? What is an alper? Where
did elpers come from? Elper, elpling, or elp refer to
people who chat or who try to tell the streamer
what to do in games.
Speaker 2: Oh so they're.
Speaker 1: Like a cock Yes they are. I was just about
to say, this is the guy in the cock chair
that tells the two people who are banging what to do.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so he's he's not Brandon Elper, He's Brandon
bang watcher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, there it is.
Speaker 2: That's a new nickname. Welcome back, sir.
Speaker 1: You f you indeed, and thanks for being here. Ish,
I'm sure you're fine.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure he's totally okay, I'm sure he totally.
Speaker 1: Likes to watch people from the cup chair. Is it
a folding chair or is it like a nice plush.
Speaker 2: I think it's one of those zero gravity chairs that
you can lean back in like on patios.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in my.
Speaker 1: Head, I was always like, just like this shitty, little
fucking non padded folder. No, no, but the kind used
to the kind used to pay one thousand dollars to
sit at in the front row of WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: I think it's a zero cra gravity leaner racker.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine only paying one thousand dollars to sit
in front row WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: You just watched WrestleMania. You're all WrestleMania, No, old dude,
quig synopsis. Did you cry when brock Lessner retired?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Oh? Probably did I?
Speaker 1: Do? You want to be honest? I watched the highlights
on YouTube of that because I watched an hour and
a half of Night one and stopped. Yep. There was
there was so many ads and there was so much just.
Speaker 2: A celebrity product place.
Speaker 1: Man. It's not like, oh, you just don't like pet
McAfee and jelly roll. It's just I there was so
much advertising and breaks and bullshit, Like you watch seven
minutes of horseshit to watch eight minutes of wrestling, and
then you go into seven more minutes of bullshit, and
you want me to do that for eight hours horseshit
and bullshit. Fuck yourself. I'm not doing that shit. I
listened to enough podcast everything that happened on that show.
I don't need to watch it. I don't And so
you know what I didn't, And you know what I'm
not gonna do next year. Watch it.
Speaker 2: Oh while I'm I'm oh, Producer Gary, he's screaming it.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna listen, if you want to anything up
that bend. Wats He's done it too. Let's bring it
back to magic for a second. Wats He's starting to
do this as well. Once you maximize profit so overtly
over the enjoyment of your bands and your bass, that's
where you lose the plot. And that's when you start
losing hardcore people. Like with wrestling with.
Speaker 2: Me Y, you lose the plot.
Speaker 1: I've been watching it for decades and I could never
watch it again and be so happy after watching, after
seeing an hour and a half of WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: Dang cay too much. I got an idea, too much,
I got an idea. Okay, Okay, that's what we do.
And I do this for super Bowl okay. And you
know I'm a big super Bowl party kind of guy.
Oh me Too's a big super Bowl party at my
house every year. We're gonna have a WrestleMania party next year,
Producer Garriott invited. But you know what we'll do.
Speaker 1: We won't make it.
Speaker 2: Just about watching WrestleMania. We'll make it. We'll do the
prop bets where you prop bet about like who wins
each match, and we'll prop bet about who how many
ads and how long the national anthem goes, how long
they hold the last note of the national anthem, what
colors the confetti, like who scores the first point? Like,
We'll do a bunch of these bullshit prop bets, and
everybody has to put in like five bucks. That could
be fun, Yo, It's so fun. That's what we do
for Super Bowl parties all the time. I won like
one hundred and ten bucks last year because I.
Speaker 1: Said fucking one, I guess it being fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, I swept the prop bets. I only got like
one wrong.
Speaker 1: Winning money might be the only way you can convince
me to watch wrestle Mania forty five Saudi Arabia, because
if you thought this one was commercialized, just wait, just
you wait.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about green.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Mono green Machine.
Speaker 1: We're going back to twenty nineteen in a segment we
like to call then you would see the super cool
bush that I drew.
Speaker 3: If you're watching on YouTube.
Speaker 2: I love bush.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait until you see the next one. You're gonna
like the next one is for now?
Speaker 2: Is it bush?
Speaker 1: You have to wait and see. It's a surprise. Let's
see number.
Speaker 2: Ten, number ten. This twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: Most popular in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: You love Queen among Bears. This original art was for
sale in Las Vegas a few years ago. Oh neat, Yeah,
only twenty five five hundred should have bought it because
now it's probably worth twenty five thousand because magic art
after COVID went crazy, Yes it did. This is a
two two for two cuckoo for Chwoche's the Walrus Legendary Bear.
This is the bear commander. Whenever another bear ant's about afield,
choose one and put a plus one on each bearer
control or fight something. Yes, this is fine.
Speaker 1: Uh, It's an interesting creature type based commander from the
time where I think that people were into bears and
it's gotten significantly more support. Actually now where I would
argue that ula might actually be more powerful as a deck.
Speaker 2: Now, dude, there's so many. There is a legendary bear
in frickin every second set. Yeah, and there's bears and
bears are a thing.
Speaker 1: And this was this was the original or the first one.
Speaker 2: And shout out to the bears out there if you
know you know, Hell yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: So some of them are in the nation and we
love them.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, brother, Like the Boss in baff Bear's been
hit by a train twice and he's still alive. Man,
he's the biggest bear ever.
Speaker 2: Our friend Aron Carr send me a picture one time
his buddy road killed a fish one time in Alaska
an eagle. How much more American can you get than this?
An eagle dropped a fish out of the sky and
as it was falling, a truck hit it and it
freaking smock the front of the truck and it was
a road killed fish.
Speaker 1: Excellent.
Speaker 2: That's a freaking cool story.
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen. That's a Randy Johnson killing that bird
with a pitch. Yes, that's awesome. That's a that's a
sports thing.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: You and Gary should both be very impressed that.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's the only sport thing, you know.
Speaker 1: And I know the Gritty beat up a penguin this.
Speaker 2: Year, are you, la, Queen of the Bears Umber Do
we care about this?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, we obviously number nine you have a oh my god,
this one you remember? Yeah, yeah, this feels so outdated.
This is the first time I said, ah, there are people.
Speaker 1: There are people in the audience right now who have
no idea what this card does. Let me give it
a read, and weren't even playing magic when it was printed.
Speaker 2: Reading this, Uh, this card is a fine addition to
any green inclusive draft deck. I will tell you that much. Sure,
Yeva Nature's Herald is a four to four Elf Shaman,
which matters for green green two. With flash cool, you
may cast green cards.
Speaker 1: Creature cards got much different.
Speaker 2: Green creature cards as though they had flash. Sure, this
is your green control deck, your green elf deck. This
is your green fog. Oh I didn't need to fog.
I guess I'll drop a seven seven this deck. This
deck is kind of cool. I like this deck.
Speaker 1: It lets you dodge all the source speed wrath of
gods too. Yes, because you can just dump the elf
ball at Layer three's turn and just gank everybody on yours.
Because you guys sort of have haste now. Yes, but
like you're not gonna see this probably ever again.
Speaker 2: Yes. If I said green creatures, you control have haste.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: Wow, what a what a good card. We were talking
last week about how mass Hysteria is such a great card,
and Commander, yeah, this is this is mass hysterian the
command zone.
Speaker 1: Well it's concordant crossroads is what that would be called.
But this is just for you, yes, in hypothetical terms,
but yeah, I just think this is a ninety nine
card now for sure. Yes, it's a product of its time.
Speaker 2: This is a ninety nine card that you go and
find maybe that man, I don't even know if you
go and find this with like a green creature tutor.
This is just a card that you draw into.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 2: Is this card even that good if it's in your
ninety nine? Like, no, I don't even know if it
goes in your ninety nine.
Speaker 1: No, I think this card has been outclassed in virtually
every way, and you're just never gonna see it again.
Speaker 2: Oh dang, So it's it's not on the top ten of.
Speaker 1: Now now, I hope not, because after we've dunked on
it this hard. If it showed up, remember how and
remember how I read a bunch of our guys just
became more popular. You're welcome, Zada and Norn baby.
Speaker 2: That's funny. Uh, well, you have a thanks for coming
out I.
Speaker 1: Guess, Yeah, thanks for being here. It's that's good.
Speaker 3: Check out number eight.
Speaker 1: Dang, yeah it makes you feel bad, not me, Yeah,
I feel no remorse.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck the number eight, Oh fuck them?
Speaker 1: Oh a Zuza lost but seeking. I'm sure f you
Aiden was wondering where she would show up in the list.
Everybody else probably knew she was going to be here.
She's a one two human monk for Green too. You
may play two additional lands on each of your turns.
I wonder what this is for. It's the that's it.
Speaker 2: Are there better landfall commanders?
Speaker 1: I don't know if in Mono Green there are. I
think outside of Mono Green you could be stepping into them. Yeah,
but I'm so I'm not because there's enough enablers, especially now,
there's enough things that say landfall are them, or when
a land comes into play, do something on them. Now
where Azuza can just power those things to the max.
You're in those decks. If you're not playing Azusa in
the command zone, you're probably hoping your drawer or you're
looking for it. So you might as well as have
her in the command zones so that you can just
do it.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good card.
Speaker 2: You know what the Azuza. When Azusa in your command zone,
you sit down, I'm playing Azuza. Yes, verybody knows what
you're doing. If you sit down and play like Muldrotha
or yar Rock or in my case Child of a Lara,
in your case Omnath two, Omnath thread, you got to
say Omnath landfall. This is my five color Child of
a Lara, lands deck, et cetera. Zusa, you just like
PLoP down a Zeus. Everybody knows what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows and even if you say that you're not,
that's not what you're doing. Either you probably should be
doing it or you are doing it and you're a
big fat liar.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, man? What is this number? Eight seven
eight eight? I feel like so far I'm scratching my
eye Sorr. You'd see if you're watching YouTube. I feel
like all of these I don't expect to see in
the now.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm excited, let's keep it on. I forget
what's in then.
Speaker 2: Now. Honestly don't expect to see him, and this is
the first time. Maybe I'm conditioned to not expect or
to expect because what we've seen so far. This is
the fifth time we've done this. I've kind of got
an idea in my mind of what commander or what
sort of commander stands to test the time or or
how high you need to be on the list. But
maybe I don't because Red kind of threw that out.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Red blew that out. Well, that was we did.
That's that's that's the CEO influences with that. Maybe absolutely, I.
Speaker 2: Thought our only influence is drinking beer in the commander area.
Speaker 1: Magic con Yeah, there's that, and Zada and Norn being
very popular. Perhaps that's those are the two things.
Speaker 2: Perhaps perhaps Okay, this number seven.
Speaker 1: Number seven, what Gargo's Vicious Watcher isn't eight seven for six?
Speaker 4: See?
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: What the vigilance m hydro spells you control? It costs
four less to cast.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: Whenever a creature you control becomes the target of spell,
it fights up to one target creature you don't control.
Speaker 2: I get it. So all your hydros can has plus
four plus four Yes, because hydras is x mana cost
enters the battlefield with x plus one plus one counters.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: So what so what you do is declare what X is.
When you propose to cast the spell and you put
it on the stack and you say X is ten,
Oh you only have six? MANA, well, X is ten,
X is reduced by four. I'm going to tap six
and because X is ten and it's reduced by four,
six is enough. I'm going to have a ten to
ten hydra and when ETBs or sorry, when it becomes
the target or whatever whatever, Gorgos they fight and it's ten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's kind of got a little removal spell
on it, but it mainly it just makes your spells
a little bit better.
Speaker 2: I've played against gargos decks. Everybody knows. Yeah, this is
like Azusa. This is Azusa but for for hydras exactly.
Speaker 1: And it's of note. It's another like creature type matters
type card.
Speaker 2: We've seen bears, we've seen hydras, we've seen lands, which isn't.
Speaker 1: A creature type, and then we've seen creatures that are
green matter like you know, here we are.
Speaker 2: I suppose we're gonna this is the creature color. This
is what we're gonna see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I imagine so, but so I mean, Gargo's like,
what can you say about it? I'll but you I
would I would not be surprised to see him still around.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I actually wouldn't either. And this is a
date stamped pre release promo version.
Speaker 1: And most colors or most colors, most sets like have
a hydra like they all have a cat now, they
all have a hydra, have a clone. There's usually a
hydra as well. Whether it's monogreen or not is up
for you know whatever. But Gargos is a pretty good one.
And you know it's the big Timmy beats Dick. This
is big guy go bunk.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous that it's an eight seven vige for six for six.
Speaker 1: Right, like just on its face, but that's same.
Speaker 2: That's green, that's yeah.
Speaker 1: And then it has two non drawback lines of text afterwards.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I really like sitting down and when people are enacting
their strategy with X Y Z Commander and it's turned
four or five or six or seven, and they they're
just kind of building and they go, okay, tap ten
Colonian Hydra or whoever, and you go, oh, oh, that's
what this is, and then turn you know whatever whatever
Gargos from the ninety nine Oh damn it, dang yeah, right,
because usual they say this is my deck, this is
my my stompy, my big creature. They'll disguise hydras as
stompy or big creature or egg row.
Speaker 1: Which you can certainly do. Yes, it's not being a scumbag.
Nould argue that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, When you play Gargos in your command zone,
everybody knows.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows, everybody knows. So what's that.
Speaker 1: Spell that just makes hydras suck? What is a uh
solemnity or whatever it is?
Speaker 2: Yes, you can't can't put counters on things? What if
I did the pain? What if I No, if I
wouldn't need solemny in my own deck? If I wanted
to cast my hydra for zero just so it auto dies.
Speaker 1: They would just auto die anyway.
Speaker 2: Yes, maybe I want my things to auto die.
Speaker 1: Maybe you do?
Speaker 2: That sounds like a Ceco deck.
Speaker 1: That does sound like a Ceco deck All hydro oops,
all hydras at zero dot deck.
Speaker 2: Yes, f you know who would build that deck? All
Killer No Filler Miller, Yeah, Ayden Miller fucking build that deck.
Speaker 1: Yeh, get out of it. Yeah, but let's just see.
Speaker 3: Let's see what number one is?
Speaker 1: Number six? Number uh alright, sure, let's let's hit him
with it or claw another bear, another bear, come on claw.
Terror of Calcisma is a four three four four creature
spells you cost with power for or greater cost too
less whenever it attacks each creature you control with power
four or greater guests plus one plus one and trampsky
until end of turn.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a good card.
Speaker 1: It's it's another like I'm playing giant dudes.
Speaker 2: Kind of getting bored.
Speaker 1: That's what this That's what this card says, right, I
am playing big dudes, but their power is big on
the card as opposed to hydras, which is I am
playing big dudes, but they are little dudes on the card.
Here we are.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of getting bored, kind of. I'm kinda I
Ken has disappoint.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely can, man, I didn't want to be disappointed.
Our buddy Roland at at ed H and M. It's
always saying, man, green is the most boring color, and
I always say, I don't know, man, I got this
super Street everything costs seven.
Speaker 2: Storm deck super Street super Street isn't that? Isn't that
like a race car class? No, it's going to do
the drag strip No.
Speaker 1: That's when the deck where it's really fat laces and
it sneakers and it break dances on cardboard.
Speaker 2: Super Street, Super Street. Yeah, I forgot that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So but he's like Brando, like, you're the one guy
that plays oops, everything costs seven dot storm, dot uzes
dot deck. You're the only person that does that. And
I'm like, okay, yeah, sure, but I see the point.
I can see like maybe in Green does kind of
have a line that it goes down. And while you
can do creative, ridiculous stuff, at the end of the day,
it's make big dude go bonk.
Speaker 2: Love bonking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so gore Claw is very obvious. You play big dude,
make big dude cost less beat guy with big dude.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2: That's our second date stamp pre release promo. Too correct
and he popular commander. Yes see how we're cutting words
out of our sentences to cater to Green player correct.
Now we're cutting letters out of turn.
Speaker 1: Let's do the next one, Ryan, that was just pretty easy.
Dang oh Now, like fuck, the excitement continues with a
Zuri renegade leader. I thought this guy was going to
be higher.
Speaker 2: I thought this guy was gonna be higher.
Speaker 1: I thought he's gonna be way higher. He's a two
to two for Green Green one ELF Warrior with Green
regenerate another target elf Green Green Green two Elf creatures
you control get plus three plus three and tramplinto len.
Speaker 2: So that's five to overrun. So what happens if you
have ten.
Speaker 1: Then you overrun twice?
Speaker 2: What if you have to be overrun? What happens if
you got fifteen, then you overrun three times? What happens
if you have twenty over run four times? Over on
four times? Is plus twelve plus twelve and trample that's
and this is true enough enough when you have thirty guys, Yes,
so now you're plus twelve times thirty. Yeah, probably enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy is with enough manna. He is a
win condition in your elf ball deck, and he's also
protection for any other Elf that you control in your
health deck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're Priest of Titania.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: He comes out the turn after Priest of Titania. And
if you have I don't know a Lana or Elf
from turn one, because you do, because there's four of those.
You just go out top my lane wear Elf regenerate,
my great Priest of City Titania. Oh, in response to regenerate,
I'll tap her for for mana and play my ELFs
with Flash because Yeva, because she's a she's.
Speaker 1: An elf that goes in the a Zuri deck. Yeah,
oh gold dang yeah. So like, hmmm, I'm shocked that
he wasn't higher. This is a car that I think
everybody knows. I don't know if it's the de facto
green elf commander anymore.
Speaker 2: No, well, because the fact because green isn't the de
facto elf ball color anymore. It's Gary.
Speaker 1: That's true, so we'd have your deck. That's true, But
I think you'd be hard pressed to this is elf.
Cranko is who he is?
Speaker 2: Elf col Yeah, crank.
Speaker 1: Elf yes, not as popular as Cranko though.
Speaker 2: No, let's I'm gonna go backwards. We're gonna count down.
Speaker 1: Okay, We've got are Yula.
Speaker 2: At ten, We've got Yeva at nine, Zusa at eight,
Boom Gargol sat seven, sure, Gorka at six, probably Zuri
at five.
Speaker 1: I believe you.
Speaker 2: At or Omnath locus amna arm og Omnath.
Speaker 1: No way, the one one elemental for green too, that
green Mana is not empty from your manipool at the
end of phases and shit, and he gets plus one
plus one for each Green Mana in your manipool.
Speaker 2: I would say, this one is not going to be
on the top ten, but as Zuri is of the now, okay, okay,
this is number four.
Speaker 1: And I'm I mean again, this is can you make
can Green make mana?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: Do you want to do that?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: You want to make a dude big?
Speaker 2: Uh huh?
Speaker 1: You want to kill a guy with him? I love
killing play Omnath probably will easiest, pie.
Speaker 2: Said everybody on edhrek dot com.
Speaker 3: Yes, in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: I feel like in twenty nineteen and previous this was
a card that because people didn't run a ton of
interaction and remove and there wasn't a ton of life gain,
and Voltron was really a thing that people were ill
prepared for. For all of those reasons that I just listed,
this was a card that was really good.
Speaker 1: Ye now not too much, not as good. It's it's
not I don't think it's outclassed to the point that
it sucks. No, but it's still a solid creature. It'd
still be a solid Vultron commander. I would argue, and
if you Smithie still plays it. It's it's fine, it's
just not exciting.
Speaker 3: It's another one of those ones.
Speaker 1: You're gonna plunk that thing down and every single person's
gonna know exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 2: It is also a card that gets better over time
with double strike, double combats, trample, trample. Like I'm thinking
of the glove card that was just in like the
Genjo jerk Off gloves that were in Final Fantasy. Sure,
like think of we talked about the mind Skinner in
Blue Omnath. Same thing. Pay three mana big guy, Yes,
hit for lots of damage, hit many damage.
Speaker 1: Yep, yes, Yeah, that's that's Omnath.
Speaker 2: And I guess. And and here's here's me being a
non bias reporter. Is I really like mind Skinner and
I don't really like Omnath. One is fun because it's
mill and it's one toughness and it's an enchantment and
there's all these quirky things. The other one is just
make guy.
Speaker 1: Big, big guy big, make bonk y.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sure.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you play it cool, but like whatever,
you know.
Speaker 2: So it's number four. Let's let's this is the breaking
point for me. I think I think top three are
gonna be like guys that I say, oh no, ship, yep, definitely, okay,
all right, Zuri Like Azuri at number five, I thought, wow,
that's out to lunch. I thought that was gonna be
way higher.
Speaker 1: Me too, I thought that he was gonna be one
or two for sure.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's another elf commander that we totally just for
just based on Yeah, let's see. Okay, I'm you've at
least seen them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I vision, I've visually perused them, but that's.
Speaker 2: Just I have no idea. And and I actually like
doing the blind react number three.
Speaker 1: Oh fuck, marha, son of a bitch, it's Marlin the Nurture.
Here's another goddamn elf commander. It's a one one for three.
Whenever another elf you control comes into play, what a
plus and a plus one counter on her and you
tap her to add an amount of green equal to
her power? Damn it, mother asked, damn it. So there's dude,
if you overrun.
Speaker 2: Five times with the Zouri because you had twenty mana
and you make her a fucking fourteen fourteen or thirteen thirteen,
and you just tap over thirteen more manna, then you
overrun three more times. So Marwin is so frick and powerful.
I think Drake Frost plays this girl. I think she.
Speaker 1: I think he does as well. Marwin and Missouri are
like they're in each other's decks for sure, and you'll
probably look when you're playing one, you're probably looking for
the other the whole time.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Is there that they just they make the deck go,
they make the deck win more? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drake Frost, he he donated to the CEO Sleep project.
He's getting his play mat delivered in Las Vegas. So
if you want to make a donation on Commander Cooko
dot com, you can get your play matt personally delivered
in Las Vegas. That's cool at the Magic Con.
Speaker 1: Yes, check the website soon for more play mats going
up because we know lots of people missed them.
Speaker 2: Oh, go out, they're ready one. No.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna save them for the people that they
want them.
Speaker 2: Oh, well, you could donate and get one.
Speaker 3: I could if you felt like it.
Speaker 2: Don't don't, don't I have them for you anyways. Okay,
I thought you might want one, Okay, I probably I
thought you were just lying.
Speaker 1: Nah, damn, I do want Yeah, I wanted to make
everybody else got one first.
Speaker 2: You personally know Dave Wong, the artist whom we didn't
rip off, that you could go to his house and say,
Dave Wong.
Speaker 1: I could roll it up and fucking spack him with
it with a piece of rebar and it. So that's
the Max Crandell ship.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, maybe Max grand I haven't. I haven't messaged
Max Crandell. Maybe he's gonna be in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Oh we should see.
Speaker 2: I know Dana Roach is gonna be there, and him
and Max Crandell are like neighbors.
Speaker 1: What's he gonna do? Play madelift and every day? Probably
jerk bag? Yeah, have that guy. That's the next card round.
Speaker 2: This is number three, Ye Marrow and the Nurture. Can't
I freaking missed? She's so good? There's another date stamp,
really proble card. Wats he knew? They fucking knew, they understood,
they knew the assignment.
Speaker 1: Damn it.
Speaker 2: Okay, this number two coming out, number two, number two,
number two.
Speaker 1: This one I was, I am, I I am genuinely
surprised why.
Speaker 2: People like this card. This is Salvolla Hart of the
Wilds and sure tell us what how wrong we are
in the comments on YouTube, get on the discord. If
your patron, send me an email about a code at
gmail dot com. Like it's a two three elf scout
for green green one. Whenever another creature enters about under
your control, you may draw a card. If its power
is greater than each other creature's power.
Speaker 1: And it's not under your control, it's period, so your
opponents can draw cards off of this too.
Speaker 2: It's controller may draw a card. Yeah, okay, well we're
gonna be playing the biggest.
Speaker 1: Guys, we hope.
Speaker 2: Well we'll just do that. That's what's happening. Also, Green
tap ad x manna of any combination of colors to
your manipool, where x is the greatest power among creatures
you control.
Speaker 1: So it's always two with silvall in play, which is
something I don't get this either. This is this is
surprising to me too, Like this is big dumb idiots
the deck. But I kind of feel like maybe gore
Claw is better at that. I don't know. Because once
you get to the pot where you're casting two things
in a turn, well.
Speaker 2: No, you you cast a bigger You cast a bigger
thing every turn and draw card whenever another creature enters
the battlefield. It's controller. Do creatures enter the battlefield with
plus one plus one counters on them?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's why you play hydras. Or you play
things that it enters with a plus one counter on it,
or you just play al Drawsi and then you tap,
you go tap and green make ten managas Ula, mog Coslic,
blight Steel. You just play all the hugest things and
it's just it's just greening harder. Yeah, which you're playing,
but in green Green Drawsy it's easy.
Speaker 1: It's dras on easy mode.
Speaker 2: All draws green like that one good one, which is fine.
Everybody likes an el Drawsi deck. I like a big
slimy tentacle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can take a long walk off a short path.
I've had enough of them and I played one.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, what do you think so Volla thinks about
slimy or dry tentacles?
Speaker 1: I think they're dry or slimy.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think they're dry.
Speaker 1: I think they're slimy.
Speaker 2: I think they're dry and muscly. I think I think
that like if they flexed.
Speaker 1: There's no I think they're slimy and muscley.
Speaker 2: Well, let us know the comments. I guess the age
old question. Yeah French, yea yeah, our French Canadian listeners
got it. Okay, this is two of them.
Speaker 1: Yep, well number one of them. Yesn who saw that
ship coming?
Speaker 2: I could have saw this coming, you think, Yeah, he's
he was a big CDH commander for a good long while.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: This is a two three human rogue for green two
green two tap, put a verse counter on ye send
the Wanderer Bard. Search your library for a creature with
converted man a cost equal to the number of verse counters.
Put it onto the b then shuffle.
Speaker 1: It's one of those player designed cards too, Bryan Fargo.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, is he from North Dakota?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 2: Probably? Okay, So this guy is just a tutor in
the command zone every turn for a one drop, then
a two drop, then a three drop.
Speaker 1: He's a quasi birthing pod.
Speaker 2: Yeah, save proliferate where you could cheat a little bit,
but this guy is a kind of birthing pot in
the command zone. I don't mind that.
Speaker 1: I used to play him in my attraction deck. Pretty
fucking powerful on the off chance I could like proliferate
him up, but then I never could so I cut him.
But he's he's there, he's fine, he's good. He does again.
He does what you.
Speaker 3: Expect him to do.
Speaker 1: He tutors for a big creature and puts it into play.
Speaker 3: So this is our.
Speaker 1: Sixth big creature.
Speaker 2: Got deck.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Also, you can tutor for combo pieces, like if you
tutor then untapped, then tutor again. Yeah, that's pretty good.
If you tutor at the end of your turn and
then on my turn, I tutor for the other half
of my win con. If you have if you have
a two green creature win con, probably do that. Are
one man a cost apart? If you know that combo
put it in the comments. I'm genuinely curious. Now I
think you just tutor for manadorc. I guess it's a
creature ETB value guy like draw card to destroy an
artifact or enchantment. You can do that a couple of times.
You can you can Yson control ys on light stacks somebody,
and then you can switch to Yson like mana doubler,
Yson fucking guy or combo piece on your turn, on
my turn other piece.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean you could do it with what's it?
What's the what's the thing that untaps all your ship
seed one muse?
Speaker 2: Well, can you imagine can you imagine when was Seedborn
Muse band? That's a great question.
Speaker 1: Is it banned? Seedborn muse band.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a game changer, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. Oh.
Speaker 2: I was thinking of.
Speaker 1: Biorhythm banned a long time.
Speaker 2: Ago, a profit of Crew Fix. That's what I was
thinking of, Which does the same thing kind of as
Seedborn music. Yes, Seedborn music, game changer. It's got to be,
I think so, I think so, I think it might be.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look it up. We've moved past that Seedborn
muse though. In this deck very good. Can you imagine
can you imagine with three man of Orcs or three
man of worth of Matadorcs, or three man anything, searching
for every single creature that you want on every turn
because everything untaps, And can you imagine in a monogreen deck,
how many creature tutors you have this one?
Speaker 1: In that particular case, you'd have four per turn and
then you'd run out, because I think once you get
up to eight you're probably green and low.
Speaker 2: What are you fucking some kind of dummy?
Speaker 1: We would have to be playing like some I don't.
I wouldn't say niche.
Speaker 2: On the Commander game Changer's list. Muse yah thing.
Speaker 1: All right, Ryan, let's see how things have changed now. Yeah.
See now it's a bush with a tree growing out
of it.
Speaker 2: I thought that was an atomic bomb bush. It could
be the atomic bush.
Speaker 1: I should have put a little like a knot or
something like a like a knothole in it.
Speaker 2: Atomic knob a bush.
Speaker 1: It's a band name. Hey, it's my punk band, Atomic Knob,
atomic nob. Yeah, now number ten, number ten of now
zoos lost but seeking. So she went down.
Speaker 2: Of course she went down, but she's still there. She
number four five six, four seven. I think, fuck god,
damn it. Only if he had a producer who was
paying attention. Producer. Gary probably didn't even play magic.
Speaker 1: It probably doesn't. Probably doesn't even know how.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably doesn't. Probably likes green.
Speaker 1: What a nube?
Speaker 2: What abe?
Speaker 3: So all the things still apply.
Speaker 1: Azuza is a card to be fair, to be fair,
she is a commander that has only gotten better with time, Yes,
and will only continue to get better with time as
they print more things that say some variation of landfall.
Speaker 2: On landfall makes her better and going in decks that
care about lands makes her better. Yes, So as long
as magic still relies on lands, she's gonna be good.
Speaker 1: Yes, I could see her being around.
Speaker 2: You know what in in on Commander cookout, like nine hundred.
When we go the arc of evolution again, it might
be such that we see her in the top ten again.
We go, oh yeah, in twenty twenty six she was
number ten, and then she's number seven again in twenty thirty.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean again? Yeah, a gang. Yeah,
I can see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be a thing. Okay, Bro Prisley Mill
mostly Mill, right, Bristley Mill is a poky cactus guy.
Speaker 1: Two. He's another two to two for two on the
Mono Green command or top ten list.
Speaker 2: What do you want to waste all your fucking eight
drop slots for in your commander? No, you want two
and three drops? That's I think that's like legit important.
Speaker 3: That is pretty smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And we were talking about Hydris earlier and stuff. We
were talking about landfall. This one says landfall on it.
Whenever a land enters the battle film to your control,
put a plus one plus one counter on target creature.
And he also has green Green three double the number
of plus one plus one counters on each creature you control.
Speaker 2: So if I had five, I could double. Yes, If
I had ten, i'd god quadruple correct. If I had
uh fifteen, you could octopple.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that nomenclature is after that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't know what you could fucking
locks Tupple. That's lots lots Tupple.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I meant.
Speaker 1: Enoughle enough, This is what that would be, yes Tupple, Yes, yes, yes,
so this one come my dead.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, very yes.
Speaker 2: Bristoley Bill, this guy's freaking expensive.
Speaker 1: Too expensive card.
Speaker 2: It's like the only expensive card that came out.
Speaker 1: Of Cowboy Cowboy hat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fuck what a funny set. Hey, yeah
he gave us, Bristly Bill, What a fucking guy. He's
a poky cactus guy in his stupid head.
Speaker 1: Cat and he's in a cactus patch too. It's like,
are those cactuses like speaking to him? Are they as friends?
Are they just not as bristly?
Speaker 2: Are they? Yeah?
Speaker 1: New Dad kill, time to kill. As we take over
more lands, you will get bigger.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's time to take back what they stole from us.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think this allows you to play all your
little like put a land into play guys, all the
grab another land and put in a play guy.
Speaker 2: Dude. Producer Gary just hit us with the flavor text
to Bristley Bill.
Speaker 3: Wake up, little one, there's a new day ahead.
Speaker 1: Shut up being smart and paying attention and it going
right over our heads. You fuck, that was it going
over our heads?
Speaker 2: Dang dang, dang, Bristley Bill players are gonna be like idiots.
Speaker 1: Of course he's number nine. Oh yeah, let's see number eight, Gary, Gary, Ryan,
just see number eight. Let's just see him.
Speaker 2: I want to just I just want to make more
Bristly Bill jokes.
Speaker 1: Can't do you.
Speaker 2: Think he ever takes people's skin off? And where's his own?
And where's somebody else's skin?
Speaker 1: Well, me to be easy to hang like bell Crow attacked.
Speaker 2: Yes that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can be buffalo Bristly Bill. Oh that was
so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, BBB, the bb B s s spine. Soer think
he does predator and rips out people's spines and where's
those two?
Speaker 1: No? Fuck?
Speaker 2: Okay, no, well no we're the nurturer. We've seen her too.
Speaker 1: She has fallen.
Speaker 2: I expected to see her again.
Speaker 3: Me too.
Speaker 2: She was three now she's seven eight eight eight eight
eight eight. You keep tracking your fingies.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, Well we've done three. But we've talked about
this one already, so let's go on another one. Fuck her,
she can go off. Galta frime tongue. Who saw that
ship coming?
Speaker 2: Galta became more popular.
Speaker 1: Well he's on the list now.
Speaker 2: Well he wasn't before. Therefore he became more popular.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's a twelve twelve for.
Speaker 2: Two yep with trample. Oh wait a second. A twelve
twelve for twelve with uh costs one less according to
biggest guy you control or total power total power total power.
Speaker 1: Guy you control, it costs x less, where x is
the total power of other dudes you have. So he's
a twelve twelve for two.
Speaker 2: Man gemston't mind, John has nice cedh Galta. I believe
that I do not want to play against that deck
because it'll turn me into freaking a fossil. Yes, it'll
squish me so deep into the ground I will become oil.
Speaker 1: It will squeeze you into fossil fuel.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you'll be burning me in your truck.
Speaker 1: And looks the chicky nuggies that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be deep frying fucking chicky nuggies at
my son's hockey tournament because Galta will kill me so bad.
Speaker 1: Yes, we use dinosaurs to cook other dinosaurs, and Galta's
really pissed off about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like dinosaurs that are now chickens that we cut
into shapes of dinosaurs, and those are dinosaur chicken nuggets.
So we're using dinosaurs to cook dinosaurs to cook dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is exactly right, and.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be me if I play against Galta.
Speaker 1: Exactly, it'll be cooking dinosaurs made a dinosaurs shape like dinosaurs.
Speaker 2: Because of a dinosaur, because of a dinosaur. And if
you're playing it, it's because I'm playing against a dinosaur. Yes, oh, dinoception.
Speaker 1: Correct. I feel like that's probably pretty It's another big
dude deck that has a big.
Speaker 2: Dude, big dude deck or triple d's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's some everybody loves triple d.
Speaker 2: Yeah, either don't google that or watch some guy FIEDI diners,
drive ins and dives. Yes, where they cook dinosaurs and
dinosaurs and dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's some number six this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Gargos is back, baby, because they keep pritting canhydras
and so he's back.
Speaker 1: Oh nothing has.
Speaker 2: Changed, nothing has changed, and everything is the same but worse. Yes,
everything's just costs more now, that's right.
Speaker 1: Oh huh except hydras because they cost less because Gargoes.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, it's a good it's a good time to
get a deal on a hydra, is what you're saying.
I don't even need a loan. I can pay cash
for my hydress.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 1: Most of are pretty cheap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even need to leverage my house like
the rest of my magic collection.
Speaker 1: That's right, let's just hit the next one. Okay, math
beer beer beer beer beer beer beer. He's back.
Speaker 4: He's still there.
Speaker 1: He never left because people still like to make green
manna and then kill everybody.
Speaker 2: I only like to kill everybody. I was telling producer
Gary when you're going pee the magic editing. Yeah that
I like, uh, blue red better than Red Green. Just
throwing that out there, man, Yeah, something about duct tape
and red Green canadianism.
Speaker 1: Oh, We're gonna be at Red Green in about a month,
and I'm gonna tell everybody why Red Green is the
best and you know why it's the best. There's a
little preview, a little preview for later. It's because it
doesn't have its thing figured out yet, and so it
kind of gets all kinds of crazy shit.
Speaker 2: It's like a hippie in the sixties. It's discovering itself. Yeah,
it's like a teenage uncle Brando doesn't know if he
should cut his hair short and join the army or
grow his hair long and work at high tech game traders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't know if I should help build the pyramids
or run away.
Speaker 2: Oh, while the people who don't build the pyramids did
run away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like the whole Old.
Speaker 2: Testament is about that.
Speaker 1: After I did though, Oh yeah, Like they were like, hey,
we're gonna build these big triangles in the sand, and
I was like, no, we're not. You might, but no,
there's no we here. Bro, I'm getting I'm getting at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and Omnath getting out of here. Except Omnath stayed.
He stayed like an on the list.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and which is crazy because I just had this
really cool idea for this super nutritious thick beverage. It
would also kind of get you a little drunk, you
know what I called it Omnath beer, and then I
laughed before I could truly copyright it.
Speaker 2: Dang, Yeah, I know, I know, I think beer sounds
better than Omnath liquid.
Speaker 1: I concur et cetera. Yes, I agree.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what are we on number five?
Speaker 3: Probably let's go again ish.
Speaker 2: H Kna Rescue beast this one.
Speaker 3: This is a new new little guy.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised by this one too, actually, but also kind of.
Speaker 2: Yep. This is from uh the Horror set Dusk Woe,
Dusk Morn. Yep. This is a four to three beast
survivor sure, which is a creature type that matters to
decks that it matters.
Speaker 3: In like not No, you just means they have survival.
Speaker 2: That's what it means for four. It's got survival at
the beginning of your second main phase. If Kona Rescue
Beastie is tapped, you may put a permanent card from
your hand onto the battlefield. Oh, I see what we're
doing here. We're cheating manacosts of ten, tens, twelve, twelve's, fifteen,
fifteen's eleven eleven. We're playing big dumb idiot dot green
dot deck. Yeah, and we're doing it on turn two
or three because we're also playing green elves to ramp
ourselves out.
Speaker 1: Correct, it's the green deck. Oh but it's yeah, oh yeah,
it's too bad because like this is a great utility card,
but seeing a utility card in the command zone always
makes me sad.
Speaker 2: It's a freaking tutor and it's not a tutor. It's
a cheater outer. Yeah, which might as well be a
tutor because I'll just play all the tutors for my
spell per turn and I'll go, oh, attack with ConA.
It's a four to three. I'm gonna attack the guy
that's got a two to two. Oh no blocks cool? Uh?
Speaker 1: Eleven eleven yeah, dang, yeah, and let's let's let's be real.
Let's be realistic here. You're gonna not attack with ConA.
You're gonna tap him to your Paradise mantle to get
a green to play your worldly tutor to find the
creed you're gonna play next turn. Then you're gonna go
to combat and come back. Then the eleven eleven comes out.
Speaker 2: Oh that's even better plan than what I said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 1: He's gonna play the spring Leaf drum and then you're
gonna get a cause Alec.
Speaker 2: I like a good spring leaf drum. I play that card.
I play spring leaf drum.
Speaker 1: It's just one of those things. It's it's fine, but
it's it's again. I don't think this is a super
exciting card. I do really like the art that I
put on it for that.
Speaker 2: It's the double double exposure like fancy cards from us pourn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like that, mostly because the teeth that
are on it kind of reminds me of the tattoo
on my back.
Speaker 2: There you go, this is what I want. This is
what I want. I want to all people in the
nation who are in the discord and submit deck lists
or commander cucoa dot com or on patron or if
you just are watching or listening on YouTube, which you
should be, if you have a deck list for any
of the ones that we're kind of trash talking and
calling boring, just another big creature deck send him in
because if there's something that we're missing this yeah, of course,
and sometimes we miss something because we're looking at the
surface level, or we're making fun and and there's some funny, ass, quirky,
interesting thing that just is just get somebody every time.
Send it in because that to me is so funny. Yes,
like the first time I ever played against the Questing Beast,
who I was very surprised not to see on the
on the top ten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we haven't got to the top yet.
Speaker 2: I don't know the Questing Beast. I hope it's on here.
Speaker 1: Can imagine Questing Beast was number one just because of
that fog deck. We take credit for that one too,
because that guy might have had the sweet fog deck,
but we could fucking boost the first time.
Speaker 2: The first time I played against a Questing Beast fog deck,
I was so blown away because I did the wrong
play based on not thinking that his damage isn't going
to be prevented just mine is, or or whatever however
the fuck it works. I don't even. I still don't know.
I'll still make the mistake and it's still gonna be
funny every time.
Speaker 1: Damn very very cool.
Speaker 2: So if we're missing something about Kona, which I think
is just like some just means bear, doesn't it, I
don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to the next card on number four.
Speaker 1: Sure. Sure I knew you would like I shrew fans
shru he got like six dicks one, two, three.
Speaker 2: Four, five. You think he's only got five, but looking
on his foot, this guy is so fun.
Speaker 1: He's a one, he's a three. Here's a one one
for three with trample. Whenever a saparline controlled his combat
damage to a player, create that many won one saplings.
He is himself a Saperlin.
Speaker 2: One one trampler. You don't get more fucking obnoxious than that.
No block me, or take damage or don't take damage.
It's up to you. Yes, shrewfus man. This guy is
so fricking fun. He's a sapraline guy. You just attack
with Saperlings and you just exponentially make more, and then
you get one for each one that you have. Then
you double them, and every time you make them, you
make double and like it's it's a token deck.
Speaker 1: And then you start sacking them cards make.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you use your poor man freakin' what do I
call it? Poor Man's Ferrexian altar And it's a foil
food chain from masks. Yeah, and it's like it was
like a twelve hundred dollars magic card. And I said
it was my poor man's version of this because I
didn't have that. You know, but Trufus really, for me,
reminds me of and this is so fricking green. We've
been ragging on Green for being boring yep, with the
big creature in the Stompy and the gobank. Right when
I was first learning to play magic, my first deck
that I could start to beat my friends and the
guys who taught me how to play. My first deck
that I could do that with was a Sapling token deck.
Speaker 1: There you go, and it's a.
Speaker 2: Go wide strategy. And Shrufus lets me play a bunch
of the cards from that deck. And they're all from
Masks and Invasion and Odyssey and Onslaught and that was
my golden age of magic. Everybody knows that my favorite
set is INVA. Shout out to anybody going to the
Coco Experience in Las Vegas. If anybody gets their hands
on any Invasion packs, we're gonna open them, we're gonna
smell them, and we're gonna reminisce about where I would
pick them in draft, every single card in every single pack.
But Surfus lets me get my rocks off and do
the green thing and go wide and and win lots.
And if I don't win, I utterly and miserably fail
and die and get killed. Yes, and I'm okay with
both of these scenarios because you know what, deck's got
to get kept in check and I don't want any
of my decks to be the deck that auto gets
ganged up. One And if Shurfus just draws the wrong shit,
doesn't do shit, then he dies and is a one
one for three with trample, and you know what he
is the next time he cast him a one to
one for five with tramp, and then a one one
for seven also with trample. You guess what your deck
after that?
Speaker 1: Don't do get doing a whole piss awful shit.
Speaker 2: No, but let me tell you when he goes, he goes,
he'll pump you with seven dicks. It's pretty good, mushroom
caps and everything.
Speaker 1: I like Rufus. Let's do another one's funny. Let's see
if they continue to go upwards from there, because I
think Trufus was a nice surprise.
Speaker 2: A yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, let's go Tifa
Lockhart Tifa lock another first Universes Beyond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 2: Ah, this card's good. Oh yeah, we talked about this
card being good. It's a one two human monk for
with trample for two again a two drop. Yep, We've
seen lots of two and three drops in the modern
era of Green commanders. I'm just saying, land Fall, pair
up with a Zeusa, and now you're singing whenever land
enters a bottlefit out of your control, double her power. WHOA.
Speaker 1: So it's another Vultron guy and this guy you think, oh,
you know, you go to but this goes way faster
than Omnia, a way harder than Omnath as well, because
every turn she just gets better, and you think, well,
why don't you just kill her because she calls she
is too you'll always have enough man at a replayer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the other thing is too is you think, oh,
I play a land and she becomes a two to
two and then a four to two if I play
another one. No no, no, no no. You play a pump
spell and you make her a five to two. Yeah,
and then you double, then you double, yeah, and now
she's a fucking twenty.
Speaker 1: Two exactly, or she's a twenty two to two. Let's
let's do that instead, because then you're fucking killing someone.
Speaker 2: Well, no, she's a twenty two and they're like destroyer,
and then you give her something that gives her plus
one plus one and shrouder hex proof, and now she's
a twenty one two and you didn't block because you
thought she was gonna die. Now you're gonna die. Yeah
oo very good. Yeah, And you do that every turn
and nobody can stop you because all of the all
of the green CEDH interaction is just playable and like
casual commander. Yeah, like I'm gonna give my guy plus
one counter or plus one until end of turn, hex proof,
shroud indestructible, and these are just commons that cost five
cents from sets over the last six years.
Speaker 1: Because every set gets one, and nobody's gonna bat an
eye because they don't make your deck good unless Tifa
Lockhout's your commander or unless you're playing CDH and they're
like a one green counter spell for a removal spell
for your key piece, right, that's right, So, which is
what they are here too, because Tifa is your key
piece and you're protecting it with one drop spells.
Speaker 2: And also it's a pump spell that puts her to
twenty and then you kill them.
Speaker 1: Yes, so good.
Speaker 2: So so she's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, super cool.
Speaker 1: Let's do rumors she's gonna be a DLC character in
the New Street Fighter game.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's how much validity that is?
Speaker 3: I did read that somewhere.
Speaker 2: Is she going to be a DLC character in the
New Street Fronter movie?
Speaker 3: I wish?
Speaker 1: Who would? Player? Who would?
Speaker 2: Maybe? Maybe you should addition, you get like the same hair.
Speaker 1: Not her hair is longer than mine?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she has bigger boobs?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you could we could fix that. Patreon dot
com slash Ceo podcast donate to the brand of Boob project.
Yeah the BBP.
Speaker 1: All right, let's just let's let's do the rundown.
Speaker 2: Right, let's do the recap. Okay number ten, AZUSA number nine, Bristoly,
Motherfucking Bill number eight, Marwin number seven, At number six,
Bargos Cargos number five, number four, Conna number three, Shufat,
shrew Fest number two, t T for Lockhart and the
number one commander.
Speaker 1: Of Now, like, what do you think? I don't, I
honestly don't remember what it is.
Speaker 2: I hope it's the Questing Beast, just so I can
feel validated.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: You know what, I think it's a Zuri. No, it's
not a Zuri. It can't be a Zuri. I don't
know who it is, dickhead, I honestly don't remember any hope.
Speaker 2: It was all fun. Let's see universes beyond or not.
What do you think? What's the vibe?
Speaker 1: I think not, I think not to I think not.
I think not. Finn the fang Bear, I forgot about this.
I forgot about him too, which is crazy. The number
one because e h and M like, there's like three
fin findex now because infact no, because of death Touch.
Speaker 3: What every set gets some.
Speaker 1: Little asshole green card that says fucking death Touch on it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Finn the fang Bear is another two drop commander
green one for a human warrior, one three with d Touch.
Whenever a creature you control with death Touch deals combat
damage to a player, that player gets two poison counters.
Speaker 4: And every every fucking set in the world has like
one one for one with death Touch and one one
for one with death Touch, or a one two for
two with death Touch.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the taps for fucking manna or does something
and you're.
Speaker 2: Just reaching death Touch, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just getting in with your little shitty dudes.
And now instead of hitting you for one, they're hitting
you for what four? What's the four or whatever it is? Yeah,
that you can't but you can't regain and.
Speaker 2: If you block, your guy dies. Yes, so they're removal spells. Yes, ah,
sounds like a pretty good strategy.
Speaker 1: You're chucking a four damage removal spell into somebody's face.
Speaker 2: I don't hate that.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. And again you're playing it in fucking
green and lots of your death touchers nowadays are also manadorg.
Speaker 2: What if what if lightning Bolts said this? Tell me?
Would you play this this card in this strategy? If
lightning Bolt said deals four damage to target player, but
they can sacrifice a creature to prevent that damage. Oh good, fuck,
that's pretty good. Yea, you'd play that card.
Speaker 1: I would play that card. Here it is, and it
also says you can have as many of these as
you want at your deck. Oh if this is the
second time you've cast this spell, this turn at a
red right, Like, that's essentially what this is. Because there's
lots and lots of fricking dorks now have death touch. Yeah,
and there's there's equipments and stuff like that. What's the bow,
the arc, bowl of Nilee or whatever. Whenever your guys attack,
they get death touch or in frost Fang, whenever your
guys attack, they have death touch. Uh sid this whatever
the fuck her name is, tapped creatures you control have
death touch, Like, I play that one right, Like, there's
so many ways of giving your not death touch, dudes,
death touch, And so you can put all your utility
guys in there too, and.
Speaker 2: Then and then tap them for green death touch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly to rate him with the.
Speaker 2: Greens, with your fucking Missouri renegade leader. Pretty fucking cool trick, bro.
Speaker 1: Or like, so I get it.
Speaker 2: It's great Wiley has haste because you go Concorder cross Roads.
You just played that guy. I got a world enchantment
from fucking legends, bitch.
Speaker 1: Get fucked up. Yeah, I didn't see finn comedy.
Speaker 2: You know what, I know every single card in the
top ten because we review them, we've played with them.
You open them in draft. You see him on e
DA track dot com. You play against him, you beat him,
and it's tough. You beat him and you get pounded.
Like there's not a card on this on any of
these lists, on any of these top fives that we
haven't seen or been familiar.
Speaker 1: With or discuss. Yeah, there's none the hell does that
even do?
Speaker 2: There's some that you forget about, like Finn Yes, but
then you say, oh yeah because death touch, Oh yeah,
because proliferate.
Speaker 1: Oh duh, what's maybe ConA? I didn't see that one
common I forgot all about that.
Speaker 2: I didn't see ConA coming.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that one, being as.
Speaker 2: I was in a ConA coma.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'd rather play fucking coma. You think when
we get to Simmis Coma's going to be in there?
Probably is probably so good.
Speaker 2: I think Eric's Matthews is going to be in there.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, Eric Smithy's oh yeah, twelve, Yeah,
probably probably. I'm really curious to see how the dual
color ones go down, because I feel like maybe they're
going to be a little bit more narrow, but I'm
not sure, you know what I mean. I feel like
there'll be less movement, but also more movement and of
the strategy anyway.
Speaker 2: We're way ahead of ourselves here. Of Green Green, Are
you surprised and not surprised, like we sort of predicted.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I and I also feel the huh. It
was like a huh because like most of with the
exception of maybe Finn maybe ConA.
Speaker 2: Finn and Shrewfas and ConA, of the modern ones got
me and none of the old ones got me because
I knew all of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen them and they're kind of old, not
the same, but they're they're the same.
Speaker 2: And you know what, the ones like Yeva in the
in the then got me as in Man, we've come
a long way.
Speaker 1: In monocolor Yeah, like we were.
Speaker 2: Wow, what a nice time to be alive twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Hey, this card has been outclassed so hard that you
don't even think about it.
Speaker 2: Man, inflation in twenty nineteen was so low that you
could play a give all your guys flash in the
command zone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a good time to be alive and
have a good deck out of it.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't even know if I was the world
record holder for most beers in the Command Zone in
twenty nineteen. It probably was.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Man, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna uphold the legend of the
Command Zone beer drinking legend. Yeah guy, Yeah, in the
CCO experienced Las Vegas week. So that is to say,

much time as I used to have either. Ryan's got
a real person job, so we're we're gonna do our best.
Speaker 2: Look at us freaking talking about real people jobs, right,
