Speaker 1: this to us. Run us through the sequence of events
Speaker 1: that had to not win, and he goes, well, everybody
Speaker 1: just picked to give me stuff of theirs three times.
Speaker 2: That's how it works. That's like, well, that's what happens.
Speaker 2: So you don't get three extra turns or nine extra.
Speaker 1: Turns, right, and this sort of okay, so they gave
Speaker 1: you your nine and like all their stuff sucked and said, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I killed this guy, but then as soon
Speaker 1: as I passed my turn and then the next guy
Speaker 1: killed me. Now did you Ryan, do you catch up?
Speaker 1: Have you caught on to what happened here?
Speaker 2: He killed the wrong guy because he.
Speaker 1: Played expropriate three times, Ryan, and then he passed his
Speaker 1: turn and then somebody killed him, indicating he did not
Speaker 1: get an extra turn, he didn't choose turn for himself,
Speaker 1: and we were looking like what how did that happen?
Speaker 1: And then he's like, wait a minute, I get to
Speaker 1: vote too, and we're all.
Speaker 2: Just like, you know what's so funny about you know
Speaker 2: what's even better about that? You know. What's even better
Speaker 2: about that is the three knuckleheads he was playing against
Speaker 2: didn't know take four turns?
Speaker 1: I know, and he didn't. He just killed one guy
Speaker 1: and lost. It's like, man, I hope he gets to

Speaker 1: of weeks real full and then after that like they're full.
Speaker 1: But there's usually a chair for you if you if
Speaker 1: you want.

Speaker 1: I can afford Final Fantasy.
Speaker 2: Can't.
Speaker 1: But I've discovered, Hey, did you freck?
Speaker 2: What? What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Did you get your uh magic con Vegas early bird
Speaker 2: pass yet?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: Did you get a weekend Premium?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: Do you know what comes with Final Fantasy collector boosters?
Speaker 2: I do? So you do have something?
Speaker 1: I do have something.
Speaker 2: I have three.
Speaker 1: And also I've decided and I hate to say this,
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I have to do it.
Speaker 2: What did you do?
Speaker 1: I'm pre ordering my box a Final Fantasy from an
Speaker 1: American retailer that's going to be in Vegas, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pick my boxes up in Vegas and open them
Speaker 1: in the house with everybody. Yes, fucking y'all all are
Speaker 1: going to be part of the BBO of the c
Speaker 1: co O y TC live in Vegas house because it
Speaker 1: cast significantly less as a Canadian citizen to do that,
Speaker 1: and that makes me really sad because I can't support
Speaker 1: my lgs but I really want to, but I actually
Speaker 1: can't fiscally do it. We joke all the time. I'll
Speaker 1: ever fisically recover from this. I would not fiscally recover
Speaker 1: from doing that. And it makes me really sad, make
Speaker 1: me very happy, because more than anything, I want to
Speaker 1: support the guys that brought us to the dance and
Speaker 1: give us a place to tell us. But it sucks
Speaker 1: and I can't afford.
Speaker 2: He has to wear a dress to the dance. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're gonna wear a dress because you're gonna get pounded
Speaker 2: so bad by final fantasy man.
Speaker 1: I look good in a dress. For the record, I
Speaker 1: have a shapely Oh yeah, you can't tell that. All
Speaker 1: my clothes are basically potato sacks with different words on them.
Speaker 1: But I look pretty good.
Speaker 2: That's where we get the booster packs Brando's sock drawer.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have to guess a commander, Yes.
Speaker 2: Box topper story first, the World, Metage over everywhere. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm in Edmonton. I'm in Edmonton and I'm working
Speaker 2: the retail booth for our friends at Face to Face game,
Speaker 2: and I walk over the prize booth because it's kind
Speaker 2: of like the end of the day, you know, the
Speaker 2: prize booth. The prize wall picks up as people want
Speaker 2: to cash in their tickets and stuff, right, yep, that's
Speaker 2: how it's like wreckers. And so as I walked over,
Speaker 2: and my favorite part about working the prize wall is
Speaker 2: when you got to open up a new booster box,
Speaker 2: you just crack it open, throw the garbage under the
Speaker 2: table because there's no garbages around and people need their
Speaker 2: stuff now. So I go over and there's like a
Speaker 2: box a collector either drift collector box, garbage like box
Speaker 2: on the floor, empty, okay, and it's kind of half
Speaker 2: sticking out of the tablecloth. So I'd give it a
Speaker 2: little clink kick with my foot, and you know, when
Speaker 2: there's like one thing in a box, it kind of
Speaker 2: just goes when the things hit the side of the
Speaker 2: inside of the box. Yeah, I go, huh, that didn't
Speaker 2: sound like a promo like post card in there. It
Speaker 2: didn't sound like a ball of paper. It sounded like
Speaker 2: it was the weight and size and shape and feel
Speaker 2: smell of a booster pack. So I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 2: look in the box, freaking box topper. Oh the garbage.
Speaker 2: Found a box topper in the garbage. And then, as
Speaker 2: if that wasn't enough, then I turn around and just
Speaker 2: sitting on the table is the double box topper like
Speaker 2: with the land and the other card that you get
Speaker 2: in a finish line bundle or whatever.
Speaker 1: Will you get those in every box? Land and yellow
Speaker 1: card every box?
Speaker 2: Okay, well there was another one of those open sitting
Speaker 2: on the table, and I'm like, man, this is an
Speaker 2: embarrassment of riches. I'm freaking swimming in yellow cards. And
Speaker 2: what had happened is the best part that is what
Speaker 2: had happened is I left in a rush to go
Speaker 2: to the Oilers game, and I left the Island that
Speaker 2: I wanted and another freaking mascot card that I already
Speaker 2: had four of from my stupid collector box that you
Speaker 2: can watch on bb on the ccy TC exactly, and
Speaker 2: I left those there and I text message Uncle Kelly.
Speaker 2: I said, hey, up my island there. Can you just
Speaker 2: make sure it doesn't get thrown away? And I left
Speaker 2: that boxtopper I found somewhere too. Can you find it
Speaker 2: and make sure it doesn't get thrown away?
Speaker 1: He said no.
Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, no problem, I'll put it with your stuff.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Come back tomorrow and talk to Matt
Speaker 2: or whoever, the other guy that was working. I say, hey,
Speaker 2: did you find that boxtopper island? And he goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: we kept the island because you said you wanted it,
Speaker 2: But the boxtopper got thrown.
Speaker 1: Away, so they didn't even open it to like sell it.
Speaker 2: It ended up just getting like put into a pile
Speaker 2: with a bunch of other stuff that was getting thrown away,
Speaker 2: and it got thrown away just like it got was
Speaker 2: gonna get thrown away anyway. Yeah, so we're guessing the commander.
Speaker 2: Guess the commander tomorrow's commander.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite five color good stuff? Commander? Who put
Speaker 1: it in the thing down below? And you're gonna think, oh,
Speaker 1: they're playing five color good stuff. Yes we are, but
Speaker 1: we're going to the fucking ball to the wall.
Speaker 2: I'm actually so excited about tomorrow. It's probably, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna put my steak on this claim. Oh shit,
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be the most powerful meme deck
Speaker 2: we ever made. So if you like meme decks, turn in,
Speaker 2: tune in tomorrow. If you like powerful decks, tune in tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you like good stuff five color, tune in tomorrow.
Speaker 1: If you want a preview of how you can use
Speaker 1: the new set to make a five color good stuff deck,
Speaker 1: even gooder stuff, tune in tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, like Brando says, your favorite five color commander,
Speaker 2: and I'll take Golos because we just did a whole
Speaker 2: thing where we're talking about unbanning cards, and honestly, like
Speaker 2: Golos could probably be unbanned. It's not because he's too powerful.
Speaker 2: It's because he's too ubiquitous, ubiquitous, he's too just good
Speaker 2: stuff and not fun, but good stuff decks I find
Speaker 2: are a little bit falling out of favor because people
Speaker 2: run so much more removal than they used to at
Speaker 2: like medium to high power to I'm not I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be scared of Golos if you got unbanned yesterday, I'd
Speaker 2: be like, he's probably doing like five color good stuff,
Speaker 2: or he's trying to combo by doing the top of
Speaker 2: the deck expropriate golos thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, half come, that's what I say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that too. And I'm gonna put my favorite
Speaker 2: five color as Coalition Victory because I think it's gonna
Speaker 2: get unbanned.
Speaker 1: I like Sliver Queen because I have one. I have four.
Speaker 1: I have five if you count the big oversized foil one.
Speaker 2: Do you got the Vanguard card one? Yes, you got six?
Speaker 1: Then I have six.
Speaker 2: I got six slipper queens.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I got six slippers where it counts in my butt cheeks.
Speaker 2: Not what I was thinking about. Oh no, should we
Speaker 2: start four eighty four? Hit our theme song? How
