I know the patrons have said 105 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.560 that they want more discussion and thoughts and dialogue, right, 106 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.000 because there's there's other changes, like well, here's what's not 107 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.759 changing is they're gonna pump out sets every month. Yeah, 108 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.560 and it is what it is at this point. 109 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:21.839 Yeah. 110 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.160 I think I think I think generally people are over 111 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.720 that and they buy what they want. Yeah, And because. 112 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.279 We've figured it out, we've normalized to the situation. 113 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.240 Because people buy what they want. Watson's just like, here's 114 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:33.720 more stuff. If you don't like this one, by the 115 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:34.879 next one, if you don't like this one, by the 116 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.600 next one, Right. 117 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.480 I think that's what or should you say or should 118 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.319 I say? Do you think that's why they're doing so 119 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.839 many outside eyeps to kind of buffer that if people 120 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.040 don't want it, there's somebody else that will. They're trying 121 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.519 to appeal to other people like, yeah, it's like, well, 122 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.399 let's just say SpongeBob gets his own set. 123 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:52.879 Let's just say that, Oh, I'm. 124 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.639 Ready like the Magic Players. 125 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.959 Let's just again, let's just say, ah, man, this I 126 00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.839 don't want anything to do with this crap. I'm not 127 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.399 to buy it.

And that way Watsy like hedges their bets 131 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.920 that none of their sets are a complete flop. Yeah, 132 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.759 and they've got three of those now a year that 133 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.600 are kind of guaranteed to get some kind of outside 134 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:17.720 of it. 135 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.879 Yeah, it's like insulating. Right, That is one of the 136 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.680 reasons there. There's umpteen reasons that that they do so 137 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.920 many universes beyond right, it's to get. 138 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.639 There's one reason, yea, just one. 139 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.160 Yes, that's what it comes back to, right, that that 140 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.160 is the handle of the umbrella, the excitement leaving my 141 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.079 wallet going into Hasbru's wallet is the one reason, but 142 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.279 there's a whole bunch of things that kind of funnel 143 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.560 into that. Right, Yeah, there's lots of reasons why it 144 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.040 will make money, where like an upside down umbrella and 145 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.279 oh yeah, that's a better analogy. 146 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.879 Catching all because it catches all the money. 147 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.759 Right, that is a better reason. But yeah, lots of 148 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.920 products to insulate from, like people spending or not. If 149 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.399 you like graft my expenditure on sealed product over the 150 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.240 last year, right, like you'd see a very distinct trend 151 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.160 in I haven't spent a whole ton of money on 152 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:11.720 product save for the Lord. 153 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.519 Of the Ring, Lord of the Rings, And that's how 154 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:16.759 it is. 155 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.560 Yeah, to get new people in is another way.

Okay, 254 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.519 last thing I wanted to talk about. We talked about 255 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:22.840 SpongeBob Final Fantasy. We talked about the CFP. The the 256 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.879 seventeen people that are eleven of them are the same. 257 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.200 It does let us know that maybe the right people 258 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.480 are in those positions. 259 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.200 That's important. 260 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.200 That is important. And I do know a few of 261 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.159 them that were on the RC and KEG and so 262 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.200 do you. And a few of those people are repeat 263 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.399 members of the CFP, and I do know that they 264 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.000 have good minds for commander as a whole, like the format, 265 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:52.440 and they're here's here's an important one everybody. They're good communicators. 266 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.440 That's very important. They know how to both broadcast their voice, 267 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.000 whether it be in the written word or on some 268 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.240 form of content what we do. But they're also good 269 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.519 one on one communicators and can hold conversations and they 270 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.399 can teach and educate people one on one and just 271 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.360 like I don't want to say influence people, but they can. 272 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.600 They can really make people understand the value of their viewpoint. 273 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.919 And some of them fucked around and found out and 274 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.039 they're not going to do that again. 275 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.600 Also, yes, also yes, Also there as. 276 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.320 Much as there was a bunch of terrible stuff that 277 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.720 came out of that, there was a lesson learned and 278 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.440 I feel we all learned it and going forward things 279 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.960 will be better. And it's important that we have people 280 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.679 that first hand we're like, oh shit, involved in that too. 281 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.120 Yeah, And it's important now that these people are working 282 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.120 right alongside WATSA to funnel up the information to WATSI 283 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.120 to say, hey, WATSA, here's what we think, and WATSY 284 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.480 is going to make the decision, and then these people 285 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:58.240 can say, yeah, I agree, or I don't agree, And ultimately, 286 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.679 if something very extramet happens like the Dockside Jeweled Lotus 287 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.080 man of Crypt non communication prior to ban issue, because 288 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.679 I think that's what the issue was. If something like 289 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.480 that happens again, I'm sure these people are still gonna 290 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.080 get dumped on. So good on them for like being 291 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.840 a martyr for the community. I hope that it's communicated 292 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.039 clearly and often enough that the general public that every 293 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.759 person knows that it is a Watzi decision at this point, 294 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.559 So that's cool. Last thing I had to talk about 295 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.799 is combat damage when double blocking. That change that's changing 296 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.720 with Magic Foundation. 297 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.559 I am actually and you know me in big changes. Yeah, 298 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.519 I'm really happy with this this change. 299 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.320 Yes, really am. 300 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.440 I thought that the way that I'm not even sure 301 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.679 how many people are watching this played when Damage used 302 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.879 the stack, but Damage using the stack was both confusing 303 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.120 and really abusable. 304 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.120 Oh man, I used the out of the time. 305 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.000 I miss it because of that, But that's because sometimes 306 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.000 I can be a degenerate jerk bag and I just 307 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.799 want to get people, and I feel like the way 308 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.080 that things are right now today when we play Magic, 309 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.200 while it doesn't happen as often as. 310 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.480 When damage uses the stack. 311 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:14.759 There were situations where you could get somebody and especially 312 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.559 like a newer player that's just learning how to assign 313 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.399 combat damage. When you're teaching them how to do it 314 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.440 and then just give them the finger and what you 315 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.960 told them what happened doesn't happen. Yeah, can get frustrating. Yeah, 316 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.200 and so I'm happy that this change is happening. It 317 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.000 just kind of upfronts everything and make things work. I 318 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.120 think the way lots of people thought it worked anyway. 319 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:41.039 Yes I was, and I've played Magic for a long time, 320 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.240 and sometimes I'd still have to ask and being like, okay, 321 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.200 when I block with two guys, and this is not 322 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.080 how it works, but this is how it makes sense 323 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.519 in my head if Magic is being if creatures are 324 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.080 on a battlefield in front of me and I say 325 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.320 you too, dummies, go block that big fricking guy, right, 326 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.039 you first? You second. I ordered the blockers as the 327 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.360 blocking guy. You're gonna block first because I said so. Yeah, 328 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.159 but that's not how it worked. The attacker would come 329 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.559 in and be like, hey, I'm gonna pick these two guys, 330 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.519 smaller one first, so I'm gonna kill them, and I. 331 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.960 Say, hey, punch that little one first. Yes, right, you're 332 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.600 guy dummies? Why didn't you block and the order I 333 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.240 told you to? And I'm like, yeah, because I'm the 334 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.559 boss exactly. 335 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.000 Right now with the change in here, I got, I 336 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.279 got the thing right up here. Here's the change. Damage 337 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.480 assignment order order no longer exists. If a creature is 338 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:38.080 facing multiple opposing creatures in combat, that creature's combat damage 339 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:42.320 is assigned and dealt as its controller desires during the 340 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.879 combat damage step. So whatever, there's more. Other players won't 341 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.200 necessarily know what's going to happen.
