Speaker 4: We had some comments on the last video. I was
Speaker 4: very excited to talk about last week's deck, very excited.
Speaker 3: If you don't want didn't talk about the deck. We
Speaker 3: just talked about the new cards.
Speaker 4: And here's the thing, and here's the thing, the new
Speaker 4: decks because they have so many new cards in them.
Speaker 4: A thing last week's deck power three or less in
Speaker 4: the bin. Then they come out of the bin. That's
Speaker 4: what the deck does, and it does it well. Today
Speaker 4: we're gonna talk about the final Fantasy ten deck. You
Speaker 4: know what it does tomorrow counters and you know how
Speaker 4: it doesn't very well. And the other two decks are
Speaker 4: the same. They do their shit and they do it well.
Speaker 4: So telling you that the Equipment deck does equipment good, yeah,
Speaker 4: is kind of a waste of time when there's twenty
Speaker 4: five really cool new cards to talk about.
Speaker 1: Oh but, uncle Brando, what about the reprint of Sorts
Speaker 1: to Plowshares?
Speaker 3: Do you not have a Sorts to plow Shares?
Speaker 2: What about the reprint of Arcane Signet?
Speaker 3: Do not have an arcane segment?
Speaker 2: But it has a new art?
Speaker 3: The arts are great?
Speaker 2: What about Command Tower?
Speaker 3: Also great?
Speaker 2: Oh my god?
Speaker 4: There you go, right like it's good? Like the reprints
Speaker 4: are really cool. The new arts are actually stupendous. I've
Speaker 4: been actually coming through them all week looking at all
Speaker 4: the cool new stuff.
Speaker 2: I can I say something about that?
Speaker 3: Tell me the.
Speaker 1: Reprints with new art that don't look like fine no
Speaker 1: Fantasy art, Oh come.
Speaker 3: On, come on, I mean none of them.
Speaker 4: They look like they look magic art with Final Fantasy
Speaker 4: ship in the in the thing?
Speaker 3: Sure right?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I agree, because I know everything about Final
Speaker 1: Fantasy as evidenced last.
Speaker 3: Week as a game, we've been talking with the what
Speaker 3: do he calls them? The uh beyond time?
Speaker 4: Those ones are what they are and you can love
Speaker 4: them or you can hate them. I've seen both sides.
Speaker 2: Of I'm coming around on those actually.
Speaker 4: And I'm fine with them.
Speaker 3: I still think they kind of look like Etsy proxies,
Speaker 3: but you know what.
Speaker 2: So, yes, they're cool.
Speaker 4: There's some cool ones. There's some that I kind of
Speaker 4: wish they had have picked better art. They did Kefka
Speaker 4: as Perferro, so I'm gonna get me one of those
Speaker 4: went straight into normOn.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you got a perfero? So it does not
Speaker 2: look like.
Speaker 3: A I don't.
Speaker 1: Oh good, I'm about that's like a new card to you.
Speaker 1: I know that is like a new card. It doesn't
Speaker 1: even exist, and it's like, hey, this should go north.
Speaker 4: That's gonna cost so many dollars though, because it's gotta
Speaker 4: be foil and it's in the manner you shitt taka
Speaker 4: and it's holy God, I hope I opened one.
Speaker 1: Kefka AFC Kentucky Fried Chicken kefka correct.
Speaker 4: Yes, But the point is the decks kind of do
Speaker 4: what they do, and they do it well, and they're
Speaker 4: very well done, and the reprints aren't. Maybe I'm not
Speaker 4: going to say they're spectacular, but they're not terrible.
Speaker 3: There's lots of two to three dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1: It's all the stuff that I would come to expect
Speaker 1: in a Commander pre con, along with like fifteen or
Speaker 1: twenty one dollar non basic lands, which is completely serviceable
Speaker 1: to make a three color deck work, because that's what
Speaker 1: they all are, right, three color?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And I think.
Speaker 1: Whenever we see a universe is beyond deck, it sort
Speaker 1: of sets a new bar for what is a bracket too,
Speaker 1: like a core deck, like a pre con power deck,
Speaker 1: think of Warhammer forty K jesus, those the Necron deck,
Speaker 1: in particular the Mono Black one slap, We're crazy, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the Lord of the Rings ones like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, except for the voting one. Yeah, that one
Speaker 1: can pounce in. But the other three were actually really good.
Speaker 1: The Doctor who Wants Timey Whimy was like what, yeah,
Speaker 1: really good, and these ones I think, oh, never mind
Speaker 1: Fallout to the Fallout one, the mod the Mothman one, Yeah,
Speaker 1: with rad Counters surprisingly good for how not good rad
Speaker 1: Counters seemed like they were going to be. I think
Speaker 1: the final Fantasy decks are going to follow suit.
Speaker 4: Although I think that final Fantasy decks I think are
Speaker 4: going to because they're less specific on a weird like
Speaker 4: The Doctor Who Wants, for example, used a bunch of
Speaker 4: either just inside of them mechanics that only worked within
Speaker 4: the set, or they picked up on things like suspend
Speaker 4: and time counter very acute.
Speaker 2: I would call that.
Speaker 4: Just just stuff that nobody was really doing. Unless you're
Speaker 4: playing Joy or of the Gee too, you're doing that.
Speaker 3: That's fine.
Speaker 4: Whereas I think that the final Fantasy ones you're gonna
Speaker 4: see these be very very upgradeable because Mardo out of
Speaker 4: the graveyard little stuff or just counters the deck. He
Speaker 4: attracts the colors. You can add the whole decks to
Speaker 4: attracts the deck.
Speaker 2: You can get very well.
Speaker 1: Get this, how many times at our local shop have
Speaker 1: you lost to the dude who plays the upgraded Salmon
Speaker 1: Frodo pre con? Like, I freaking play that guy all
Speaker 1: the time. He's playing that deck all the time, and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 4: Well that's George George with no g's he's from Serbia.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he would have no g's, just Jay's, that's right,
Speaker 1: and a d.
Speaker 3: Did George did George?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like our buddy Darcy with an apostrophe because he fancy Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's French for Darcy.
Speaker 3: Or something played against that deck last night.
Speaker 2: And it's freaking good that blew him out.
Speaker 3: Oh, blow him out big time.
Speaker 2: You love blowing the j's baby. I like that man.
Speaker 3: I took him downtown to Chinatown.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thought a bunch of town, bought a bunch
Speaker 4: of knockoff merchandise and some delicious food, and then left
Speaker 4: him there.
Speaker 1: To die and microwaved it three times, Yeah, until it
Speaker 1: was as hard as a breck. Then you put it
Speaker 1: in a freaking CEO T shirt and clubbed him over
Speaker 1: the head with it like he was.
Speaker 2: Max Crandell.
Speaker 3: I ate the rice.
Speaker 4: I ate it, although if you can keep it kind
Speaker 4: of moist, if you put a little soy sauce on there,
Speaker 4: because then it gives it a little moisture and then
Speaker 4: it it stays not hard. You know what it's like
Speaker 4: instead of eating slivers of coconut, it's like eating old rice.
Speaker 2: Moist rice.
Speaker 1: Hard coconut has to be the CEO pre show, Max.
Speaker 2: Crandell, I don't even think produce your Harry knows who
Speaker 2: Max Crandell is. Man? What an idiot?
Speaker 4: Max Crandeller, Garry, who am I talking about?
Speaker 3: I haven't thought about Max and Alonta.
Speaker 4: But the point is that decks are good, and that's
Speaker 4: why we're kind of focusing on the cards. And last
Speaker 4: week I kind of let it get away from me
Speaker 4: because I'm so excited about Final Fantasy six and I
Speaker 4: knew for a fact that I was probably gonna get
Speaker 4: carried away with seven as well. So we're gonna save
Speaker 4: that until next week. We're going to do ten and
Speaker 4: fourteen today because I don't All I know about fourteen
Speaker 4: is what five called the motto at Angelo and Aaron.
Speaker 3: Told me last week.
Speaker 4: And I've only played through ten one time, so I
Speaker 4: know who everybody is.
Speaker 3: But that's it.
Speaker 1: Need I remind you. Oh, we'll be getting carried away.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's what we do.
Speaker 3: It's how we do things around here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you've got beer in the fridge. I know
Speaker 1: that I do, and I have that's.
Speaker 2: A little bit of his secret for the listeners at home.
Speaker 2: I have beer in my car. So we'll be getting
Speaker 2: carried away.
Speaker 3: So the point isn't gonn We're gonna stay for the
Speaker 3: stream with us.
Speaker 4: Oh maybe you know what Smitty's coming, Ben might come.
Speaker 4: No one's gonna be here it's gonna be a party.
Speaker 2: Man.

Speaker 4: And we're gonna beat Star Tropics tonight.
Speaker 2: Never heard of. It's gonna be good. My family is
Speaker 2: grad sailing in Martinsville. Why because that's like their thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you ever, just like you know how
Speaker 1: you know how different pocket communities around the town or
Speaker 1: whatever have have like community grad sales. Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: hit up like fifteen grad sales on one block or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah like that.
Speaker 1: But in Martinsville and Rebecca's meeting her friend who moved there,
Speaker 1: and they got for our rock trench that we're building.
Speaker 1: So she's off picking rocks, which is actually funny now
Speaker 1: that I say it. And I was just gonna go
Speaker 1: and this sounds like an excuse though it ain't. I
Speaker 1: was gonna go build a fence. But doesn't that sound
Speaker 1: made up?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: That's like, that's like, that's that's like saying, my buddy
Speaker 1: John Smith totally made up.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go build a fence.
Speaker 3: I knew a John Smith.
Speaker 2: We know Joel Smith, do we? Well? Not anymore? His
Speaker 2: dad was two time Junior Award winner with Lyndon Smith.
Speaker 3: A few Joel's last name is Smith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally freaking made up sounding.
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, there's no way that's his real name. No,
Speaker 3: no wonder, no wonder. We can't find him.
Speaker 4: He's a witness protection. Where else did you get a
Speaker 4: name like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the FBI just made his name Smith so everybody could.
Speaker 2: Find him, So nobody could find him exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when everybody's unique, nobody is, or when nobody's unique,
Speaker 1: everybody is. When your name's Joel Smith, I guess you
Speaker 1: freaking can be found or cannot be found.
Speaker 2: And remember when he came to f you Smitty's last
Speaker 2: time at Christmas and.
Speaker 3: He rodingers Joel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he he bought that.
Speaker 1: He bought that big ass freaking candy cane of just
Speaker 1: fireball shots?
Speaker 2: Were you there? Yeah? I had three? How mean you have?
Speaker 4: I don't remember, so it must have been several.
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember that time we were drinking tequila at f. E.
Speaker 1: Smitti's, and we had all those shots lined up on
Speaker 1: a paper plate because I was doing the thing where
Speaker 1: where you pour them all like this and and you
Speaker 1: go over all the different cups, and I spelt frickin everywhere,
Speaker 1: and everybody took their shot, and then there was one
Speaker 1: extra in the plate, and then somebody drink the plate.
Speaker 1: It's like the Tim Mortons commercial.
Speaker 2: That I hate the ball.
Speaker 3: I think that that was.
Speaker 4: That wasn't the night that we tried to do open flippy,
Speaker 4: like legit open Flippy with a whole box of the
Speaker 4: first modern.
Speaker 3: Masters or whatever.
Speaker 2: No, that was a different night.
Speaker 4: J just got accidentally hammered.
Speaker 2: I think you threw up?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 1: I think you might be the I think that you
Speaker 1: might be the like the the last adult I've ever
Speaker 1: met who threw up at like a children's party.
Speaker 3: I doubt. I'm sure somebody's thrown up at the house.
Speaker 3: Somebody just haven't.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, here leave it a comment.
Speaker 3: This is how you win the.
Speaker 4: Bolster pack gameh When was the last time you threw
Speaker 4: up at a house party?
Speaker 2: Yes, if you've never been to a Cecio.
Speaker 1: Experience, but have you ever thrown up at a CEO experience.
Speaker 4: A sink guy, So he called him sink oh frick
Speaker 4: besides him because that was the next day, and he
Speaker 4: never drank beer.
Speaker 2: He's just a hard liquor guy. So I'm not counting that.
Speaker 3: That's one of my favorite stories.
Speaker 1: Because it was such a this is a beautiful silence
Speaker 1: and everybody's just chilling on the couch.
Speaker 3: Just wait, it was just this beautiful day, we're just chilling.
Speaker 3: It was so good.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I will never ever, I will be eternally
Speaker 4: grateful Jared sink guy can forty for doing that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: And you know what it's like, It's like watching funny
Speaker 1: videos of people getting hitt in the nuts.
Speaker 2: It's always funny.
Speaker 3: And for old people slipping on the ice.
Speaker 2: No, I don't like that. I don't like that. No, no,
Speaker 2: no no.
Speaker 1: But when you hear somebody gag or puke, you instantly
Speaker 1: know what that is. Like there's only one thing that
Speaker 1: sounds like that, and I think it's always funny. Like
Speaker 1: when somebody's gagging, that's freaking funny.
Speaker 4: Why is that the one unique sound we make?
Speaker 3: Like? Is it sex? Is it tennis?
Speaker 1: I can usually tell is it exercise, like a grunt
Speaker 1: of exertion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like what yeah, you know, Like there's so many
Speaker 4: sounds that are like that, but.
Speaker 2: That are like like a grunt of exertion. But I
Speaker 2: can tell the difference.
Speaker 4: But when somebody's like heaving and just heave ho in
Speaker 4: it all day, like, you know exactly what's happening. Because
Speaker 4: there's only one thing that sounds like I wonder why
Speaker 4: that is, Like, of all of the unique.
Speaker 3: Sounds that the human being can make.
Speaker 4: Why is that the one?
Speaker 3: Why is it that one?
Speaker 2: I don't know, But you know what I just thought of.
Speaker 4: Why can't we make a great sound when we're happy?
Speaker 1: I just thought of, like you know how parakeets or
Speaker 1: parrots are birds or whatever. Birds cockatoos can make sounds
Speaker 1: like what we make. They can't talk, but they mimic
Speaker 1: the sound that they hear. Because birds can make such
Speaker 1: a wide variety of sounds, what if there was just
Speaker 1: a bird who made the gagging heaving sound. Hey, I
Speaker 1: mean they already sound like that. Crows already do that.
Speaker 1: Crows and magpies already, and and ravens already do that.
Speaker 3: Do they have crows and magpies everywhere?
Speaker 4: Another way, to enter the Ceo Boo booster pack game,
Speaker 4: where you can win a Ceco sticker pack huh, Ceco
Speaker 4: token pack hunt, or a plain old Chrommy pack of
Speaker 4: magic cards. Do they have crows and magpies where you live?
Speaker 4: When we say crows and magpies, do people even know
Speaker 4: what we're talking about? I think ravens only live like
Speaker 4: up north.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody knows what the common crow is because they
Speaker 1: are so unanimous or so populous across pretty much the
Speaker 1: entire world. But like, is it the North American magpie?
Speaker 2: I don't know. They're black and white.
Speaker 1: And they steal eggs from robins and they eat garbage
Speaker 1: and they are like a scavenger bird, like a crow
Speaker 1: on them. Yeah, but not as not as smart because
Speaker 1: like people don't give crows enough credit.
Speaker 2: Crows are the smartest bird, very smart.
Speaker 1: Even if they can't make a wide enough variety of
Speaker 1: sounds for people to think that they can talk, they
Speaker 1: totally can. Crows can communicate with each other, they can
Speaker 1: solve puzzles.
Speaker 2: They are the smartest bird.
Speaker 1: And ravens are, especially where we live. Ravens are like crows,
Speaker 1: except they have bigger beaks.
Speaker 3: And they they're ten feet tall, and.
Speaker 2: They're so big. Man.
Speaker 1: You ever go to Thompson Manitoba, they call them Thompson turkeys.
Speaker 1: They eat garbage and they just grow. They don't stop growing,
Speaker 1: like freaking Magpies are like bigger than baldy or sorry,
Speaker 1: ravens are like bigger than bald eagles.
Speaker 2: They're they're freaking huge.
Speaker 3: That's sick.
Speaker 2: Their heads are like bigger than like my head.
Speaker 4: We should get one, and they live in the studio.
Speaker 2: No, no, their friends know.
Speaker 1: It would constantly try to escape and eat our stuff,
Speaker 1: and it would get into everything, and it would try
Speaker 1: and make nests on all the cords, and oh, it
Speaker 1: would destroy the place. What if it didn't want to
Speaker 1: escape And I don't think that you can like litter
Speaker 1: train birds, so there would be also shit everywhere.
Speaker 4: That's the one that because I feel like we could
Speaker 4: probably convince the bird they didn't want to go anywhere.
Speaker 3: This play. This is pretty rat.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for sure, because there's food around here. There's
Speaker 1: enough food that it wouldn't go anywhere.
Speaker 4: He'd want to chill and like hang out. He'd go
Speaker 4: in the backyard and play with Maggie.
Speaker 1: Right, we could have Maggie and the magpie. That could
Speaker 1: be a segment on Duffer and Avenue Media exactly.
Speaker 3: That would be super fun.
Speaker 4: You have the crole here, we get them a little hat, yes,
Speaker 4: a little tuk or something.
Speaker 3: You have a little vest.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 4: There were war with magpies here because they're terrible.
Speaker 1: I'm at war with magpies because they chase away all
Speaker 1: the native birds at my acreage when houses are being built,
Speaker 1: because magpies come in and like steal all the garbage,
Speaker 1: and they wherever there's garbage, magpies and ravens come because
Speaker 1: they think there's gonna be food.
Speaker 3: Stupid.
Speaker 1: No, because they're smart. Stupid because humans are stupid and
Speaker 1: we just leave our refuse everywhere and to nature, like
Speaker 1: like a bird who lives in nature is like, oh,
Speaker 1: that must be a food source, because there's stuff everywhere.
Speaker 1: There's gotta be something, maybe a dead animal, maybe a
Speaker 1: piece of a chicken wing scrap, maybe a freaking empty
Speaker 1: chip bag?
Speaker 2: Is there?
Speaker 4: I know that there are funnier things, But for the
Speaker 4: sake of this conversation, I guess, is there anything kind
Speaker 4: of more funny to watch than a bird like trying
Speaker 4: to get that folded up chip bag open to see
Speaker 4: and chip, and it's.
Speaker 1: Very Birds are so funny. I like, birds are disgusting
Speaker 1: and terrifying, but also funny, yeah, kind of like throwing up. Yes,
Speaker 1: disgusting and terrifying and sometimes painful.
Speaker 4: I have a bunch of chickatis that live near my
Speaker 4: house and they feed, they go onto my bird feeder, yeah,
Speaker 4: and then they hang out on my deck and then
Speaker 4: they cop around in my plant bands and stuff.
Speaker 1: And when when I used to work up at Fort McMurray,
Speaker 1: there would be ravens big enough they'd sit up on
Speaker 1: the light poles like in grocery store parking lots, and
Speaker 1: everybody drives a truck there because it's up like it's.
Speaker 2: A northern blue collar working community.
Speaker 1: So everybody's got trucks jacked up with the nuts on
Speaker 1: the freaking ball hitch, right trailer hitch.
Speaker 4: Not only do they have little wieners, but they're driving
Speaker 4: around in giant cocks and they want toybody to know
Speaker 4: what it's a giant cock because they add balls to it.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's more of a meme now than anything.
Speaker 1: But anyways, these these ravens would sit up on the
Speaker 1: light posts. People would put their groceries in the back
Speaker 1: of a truck and from the time it takes for
Speaker 1: you to get into your truck, like you put your
Speaker 1: groceries in the back of the truck, and they know
Speaker 1: because it's how smart they are to not fly down
Speaker 1: there when you're outside your truck, but you close the
Speaker 1: door of your truck to drive away, and they swoop
Speaker 1: down and they'll attack your grocery bags and they'll steal
Speaker 1: your freaking food. People would like put boards over top
Speaker 1: of their grocery bags or put them in their front
Speaker 1: seat or whatever. Can you imagine having to do that
Speaker 1: to fight frickin' turkeys off that are like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fight birds off that they're stealing your damn food.
Speaker 4: You gotta have like cletus in the back seat with
Speaker 4: a gun.
Speaker 1: Yes, And you can't shoot them because they're scavengers. They're
Speaker 1: like they're they they do like road clean up and
Speaker 1: garbage cleanup and stuff. My brother's old boss had to
Speaker 1: apply for an accept at the golf course to shoot
Speaker 1: ravens and magpies and crows because they would steal people's
Speaker 1: golf balls.
Speaker 2: From the green.
Speaker 4: And he's like, I have to shoot these things because
Speaker 4: they thought they were eggs.
Speaker 2: Maybe stupid appen one time.
Speaker 1: Actually, one time they were having a grill at the
Speaker 1: golf course and he's got the barbecue like this right,
Speaker 1: he turns around to get the stuff and turn back around,
Speaker 1: and the time he turned around, a bird swooped down,
Speaker 1: grabbed his steak and flew off.
Speaker 4: Awesome and birds are awful, just awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless it's Magui here deck. That deck's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, never heard of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a four to four flying vigilance gives other
Speaker 1: birds I control vigilance. It costs two less if I
Speaker 1: drew two cards that turn. It's a good card, underrated,
Speaker 1: remains great and lord of the rings limited. I think
Speaker 1: that's why I built the deck around it.
Speaker 2: The deck's not that good. That's some magic talk. That's
Speaker 2: the magic talk, you know.
Speaker 4: Else, we'renna matchup top roun Yes, sir, tomorrow on the
Speaker 4: CCO Show Proper, episode four ninety three, we're gonna talk
Speaker 4: about final fantasy of the deck. I think it's Esper
Speaker 4: that's fourteen and some other fucking color that's ten. And
Speaker 4: we're gonna do that tomorrow. Hit our theme song
