It's like, what this guy has like a 191 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.080 traumatic experience every time he's brushing his teeth. That's the 192 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.039 only thing I remember about that one from when I 193 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.399 was a child. You probably remember more because you were 194 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.120 a grown man in the nineties. That's right, in the 195 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.120 eighteen nineties. 196 00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:58.879 I always tell him born in ninety one. 197 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.039 Beat into the tar Tarzan and Tintin podcast. We got 198 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.840 a sloppy jeloppy patron that we wanted to say thank 199 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.879 you for. Now to continue from last week. 200 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:13.600 He's always dodging slop and his jealopy. You could google 201 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.000 that maybe, but you probably should. 202 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.320 I don't Google could probably make sense. You know what 203 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.519 you could do jodge and slop in your jalop. You 204 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.519 could you could put that into like an AI art 205 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.159 generator and probably get something dirty. 206 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:25.879 Oh you don't know. It would just kick you out. 207 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.480 You would just install a virus on your computer and 208 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.080 from this give you some slopping your jalop. 209 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:37.679 Right, okay, continuation from last week. We pulled the patrons 210 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.600 and said what kind of stuff do you want more of? 211 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.600 Do you want more? Deck text janky or competitive, et cetera. 212 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.480 Do you want more topics? Do you want something else? 213 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.519 And a lot of people picked janky deck texts, which 214 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.679 we are wont to do every once in a while, 215 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.879 if you know what we're saying, and more topics about 216 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.639 generally the goings on of magic and product and the 217 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.159 cultural stuff that I liked talk about so much. Last 218 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.720 week we had Thomas on talking about his charity, which 219 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.000 is probably over by the time you're listening to this show. 220 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.399 But if trash Ante is still on, check out the 221 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.120 show last week. 222 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.600 Yeah, and the check it out anyway, because it's a 223 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.000 really good thing. Bring it to your own community. 224 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.720 Oh yeah, for sure, you've got your deck built. I 225 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.559 know what it is. I don't think anybody else does, 226 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.559 do you though you told. 227 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.320 Me, ah yes, but at this point I have built too. 228 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:29.159 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. So the budget or the 229 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.759 constraint last week was budget. That's the challenge. That was 230 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.679 the thing that you maybe have to think outside of 231 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.600 the box to kind of get around not being able 232 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.679 to buy a new product or not being able to 233 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.000 afford the single that you want. If your playgroup doesn't 234 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.879 do the proxy thing, which we're not here to talk about. 235 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:52.039 That's not this conversation. But like us, we played in LGS. 236 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.519 It's all done through the companion apps. So they're all 237 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.759 like registered games. 238 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.639 No, they're all like. 239 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.559 Sanctioned games, sanctioned games. So our LGS owner a little 240 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.679 while ago said, hey, no proxies, guys, these are sanctioned games. 241 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.360 Play with real cards, or don't play that is, go 242 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.080 play with the Coachman licensed beverage room, which we also do. 243 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:15.120 Yes, we do that as well. 244 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.919 So the budget became a hot topic at our LGS 245 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.039 for a while, and not wanting to play expensive cards 246 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.279 or having proxies till I drop it, then I take 247 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.120 it out of a box, and just kind of the 248 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.399 social kind of taboo that that that was at the 249 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.360 time for us, like people saying, oh, hold on, I 250 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.440 got to take my whatever out of the bag and 251 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.240 play it. I got to take it out of its 252 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.600 top loader, or hey, is it okay if it goes 253 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.360 back into my hand, if I use my proxy whatever? Right, 254 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.000 So budget was a thing, But there's other challenges as 255 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.320 a magic player knew or experience that that you could 256 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.679 run into, and we want to talk a little bit 257 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.480 about those kinds of things. So I have got deck 258 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:06.679 building challenges and specifically not using dhreck as a means 259 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.159 to think outside of the. 260 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:09.759 Box, because it doesn't anymore. 261 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.279 It doesn't. No, dh wreck is a conglomerate or it 262 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.919 scrapes all the all the websites that it does for 263 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:17.600 the most common things in each deck. 264 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.799 It's a fantastic resource, but if you're build from it exclusively, 265 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.759 your deck is going to probably start to feel like 266 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:24.360 everybody else. 267 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:25.799 And we want we used to talk about this all 268 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:27.600 the time in the early days of Commander Cookoa. 269 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:28.600 Like the Milk list. 270 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:34.000 There's the Zata deck. Yes, right, there's the whatever deck. 271 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.039 And now because of like DH's dhreck is so prolific, 272 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.159 I would say that a lot of decks now, like 273 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.320 it's getting hard to find, not the this deck, right. 274 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.360 Yeah, there's this is the Bellow list, This is the. 275 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.000 I have a perfect example. So I'm thinking of building 276 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:59.480 a Questing Beast deck, yes, out of because questing b 277 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.120 says damage from your creatures can't be prevented, correct, But 278 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.799 when I cast fog, it says prevent all damage. Right, 279 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.240 So if I swing in or you swing in and 280 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.080 I block, and then I cast fog, your creatures still 281 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.360 take damage mine, don't. I was so amazed by this 282 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.840 deck at Commandfest Bellevue a few years ago that I 283 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.720 was like, Man, I gotta build this. It's so funny. 284 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.440 Blah blah blah insert trash ante. I'm trying to build 285 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.840 a deck. I look up what else is in Questing Beast? Like? 286 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.480 Is it just big green fatties? Is there lots of ramp? 287 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.480 What does that deck look like? Fast forward like from 288 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.120 then when I discovered that deck in the wild to 289 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.080 now one hundred percent dh reck. It plays every single 290 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.039 fog that's what you do with that deck. Now it's 291 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.639 kind of been solved. And though I think that edh 292 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.399 Commander and Magic is too big of a puzzle to 293 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.519 solve and there's a lot of player error in there 294 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.000 that makes it unsolvable, but to me, it's like, Oh, 295 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.960 I don't want to build Questing Beasts now because that's 296 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.039 what everybody's doing, and that's not how we kind of 297 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.600 built command or Cookout, because that's not who we are 298 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:14.720 as deck builders. Now. You are very famously and on 299 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.240 the record of saying you do not use edh Reck 300 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:19.039 to build decks. 301 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:19.360 Don't. 302 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.080 How do you do it? What do you do to 303 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:29.279 not build something that everybody else built, though still keeping 304 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.120 a mind for like making your decks unique, interesting and powerful. 305 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:39.080 Here's my typical procedure now because it has changed my 306 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:39.759 deck building. 307 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.120 Not philosophy, but just the way I go about doing 308 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.720 it has changed a lot over the last little while. 309 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.039 In that, I mean, first you go to what you 310 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.360 have obviously, Yeah, And again I can say that I 311 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.759 come from a place where I can. 312 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.720 Do that because you've played magic for nine hundred years exactly. Yea. 313 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:57.639 So like I've got a collection that goes back a 314 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:00.840 long way, and I've got stuff from then. So when 315 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.919 I go to what I have, I have lots of 316 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:04.159 things that other people don't. 317 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.200 Like. If you're building a dinosaur and vehicle deck and 318 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.399 you need a dodgy GALOPI you just go into the 319 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.720 binder or your capenna stuff or your stack of vehicles 320 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.879 that were like holding up a table, Yeah, and you 321 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.639 just pick a dodgy geloppe, put it in your. 322 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.399 Deck and there it is. Yeah, I actually do have 323 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.279 a pile of vehicles. I went through it the other day. Here, 324 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.720 I've got a stack of vehicles. So what I. 325 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.960 Typically will do and to avoid using dh records. I 326 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.039 look at a card and I go, what does this 327 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:30.559 shit do? 328 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.279 What does this like a card or a commander? 329 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:33.759 Commander? 330 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.879 Oh, what does this car do? 331 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.919 And how can I make it do those things? And 332 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.879 then you kind of go through and you find like, Okay, 333 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.799 it has to be these colors and it has to 334 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.399 do whatever, it has to do something when it enters 335 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:44.919 the battlefield. 336 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.559 Let's just say that. Yeah, so you find all the. 337 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.159 Things in those colors that enter the battlefield to make 338 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.559 a big stack out of them. And then here's the 339 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.639 this is the crutch part, which is why I wanted 340 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.200 to talk about this because this is part that I 341 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.320 think lots of people have a hard time with. Is 342 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.960 once you've got all the things that enter the battlefield, 343 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.799 then you fill it out with the other ship that 344 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.080 goes in those colors. Let's say you're playing groll because 345 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.440 of course it's me, so I'm playing gross. 346 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.600 Let me go onto eeda trek dot com and see 347 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.919 what what you don't even want my removal spells are 348 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.960 and what my ramp spells are. 349 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.519 You don't even have to because you know them off 350 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.960 the top of your head. You get a chaoswarp, you 351 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.360 get a beast within sure, get a maybe a fog frog, 352 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.200 you get a rampant growth, you get. 353 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.759 It, cultivate, Cadamas, lightning bold. 354 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.879 There's all these cards that just kind of and okay, 355 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.200 you dump those in and then I'll just take that 356 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.240 pile of shit that's one hundred cards big, and I'll 357 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.320 just play it. 358 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.279 I'll play it as it is, as a piece of trash. 359 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.320 And then as I run into cards that don't work, 360 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.120 like we saw yesterday, I played a necro boom game 361 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.080 with Ryan and so Cam, I'm trying to slow this 362 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.000 down a little bit, and so I'm trying to identify 363 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:45.840 pieces that I can take out. 364 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.879 Oh yes, alive. Okay, let's remember this example because let's 365 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.279 let's go back to this when we talk about tuning 366 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.639 a deck, whether you want to make it more or less. 367 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.240 Powerful, Because so I found we identified a card. 368 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.519 Okay, this has to go because it's like it's in 369 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.840 the pile, but it makes the deck be way up 370 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:05.519 here when it could be down when I want it 371 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.640 in the middle somewhere. 372 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.279 Yes, or the opposite, like what would normally be the circumstance. 373 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.000 I'm playing this card, I'm goldfishing, whether it be a 374 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.640 stack of one hundred and forty cards, or I'm I've 375 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:18.960 got it down to my hundred and I'm tweaking a 376 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.319 little bit by just playing it out by myself against 377 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.319 a Goldfish opponent. They can't think they don't do anything. 378 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:30.359 I'm just playing magic. I've played maybe five Goldfish games, 379 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.680 and three of those games I've drawn this card, this 380 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:35.119 five drop that it's like what I do, I've never 381 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.480 cast it, I don't do anything with it, or it's 382 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.400 not as good as I thought. Take it out right. 383 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.200 And then once I have that pile, once I start 384 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.920 look at the okay, I'm going to start going outside 385 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.480 of what I'm gonna do. What I'll usually look for 386 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.799 is I think, okay, was there a set recently or 387 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:55.519 in the past that does what I'm doing, Like, I 388 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.000 can't use it. 389 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.759 What's a good example of that clash from Lorwin. 390 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.720 Or things that playing cards face down. 391 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:08.000 Morph megamorph the what what the cloak disguise? 392 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:10.640 Right? 393 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.119 So you go back to those sets and you look 394 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.000 at them, and then then I find like, okay, like 395 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.480 this set had some stuff and you you could do. 396 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.519 A creative search on scrip fall. You go to advanced 397 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.079 search and you go to like text and you type 398 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.079 in face down creatures or morph and and then you 399 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.960 select your colors, your commander, and then you get all 400 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.759 of the face downs or morphs. 401 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.880
