I was very into kind of like 31 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.519 what it looked like and the stick of it all. 32 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.640 And I think I still am because stations can be 33 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.879 your commander. Sure, I like that. And that goes back 34 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.560 to me like liking vehicles like you know I do.

Quick spoiler, We are recording this significantly earlier than 40 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.080 we normally would, so like as we're speaking, the Edge 41 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.840 of Eternity preview panel is actually ongoing as we're recording, 42 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.240 so we don't have all the information yet. But we've 43 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.280 seen a few of the alt arts, we've seen some 44 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.039 of the basic lands, We've seen some of the stuff 45 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.439 so far, and I personally, at this exact moment, maybe 46 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.719 it's final fantasy burnout. Maybe it's excitement burnout. I don't know. 47 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.159 But I'm less excited for this than I thought I 48 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.159 was gonna be. I really did think I was really 49 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.199 looking forward to it because I like space. I like 50 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.919 bubble helmets, like dinosaurs with laser guns, and I haven't 51 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:43.840 seen any of that shit. 52 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:48.000 You know that that sounds to me kind of like Infinity, 53 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.439 And I know that you didn't like that either. Now 54 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.919 maybe you don't like space. I got you covered on this, though. 55 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.080 What I am and what I think you can be 56 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.800 excited for, tell me, is a regular, laterly priced magic set. 57 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:08.520 What that isn't of some obtuse frickin universe beyond. It 58 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:14.159 is a in universe magic set that is completely normal. 59 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.639 Well as in universe and normal as they've been since 60 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.719 they opened the Omen Paths and just kind of started 61 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.039 doing whatever they want. And you know what else do 62 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.639 is And I don't want to sound like a magic 63 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.840 hipster when I say that, or like a boomer or 64 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.680 any of that stuff, but well, you are a boomer. 65 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.360 I know that I have certainly gone on record as 66 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.680 saying that I wish that they would get away from 67 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.599 the gate Watch and they just do some episodic stuff 68 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.599 to like refresh the brand. 69 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.919 And then come back on episodic stuff. Can you imagine we'll. 70 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.879 Just do some episodic stuff to like build up to 71 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.599 the next big point, like bring back another villain, do something. 72 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.360 But now it's been years and it's time to make 73 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:04.360 things cohesive again, because commanders and cowboy hats and assholes 74 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.960 in space and whatever, whatever the fuck you've been doing. 75 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.439 Race car driving race cars. I didn't tie. 76 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.520 I think lots of people are getting tired of it 77 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:14.639 and just do something. 78 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.480 Did you drive any of those electric race cars in Vegas? 79 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.759 Oh?

I spun the car. 85 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.000 I was having so much fun playing with these kids. 86 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.680 It was great. I had a really good time with 87 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.680 super fun. The thing about Edgy of Eternities, from the 88 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.000 limited exposure I've had thus far, feels a little bit 89 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.800 like ether drift. And I can't complain about that because 90 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.759 you know that I liked ether Drift. I liked ether 91 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.000 Drift enough to go to Fusion Gaming Online dot com 92 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.800 and get a collector box of it.

Well, yeah, at least 261 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:16.720 we're not talking to nobody. 262 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.679 Yeah, that's our fault. That's not their fault. 263 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.720 Yeah, yeah, it's your fault for tuning in, you moron. Okay, 264 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:24.919 galadrial light of Valinom. 265 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.840 I'm already looking at it thinking fuck yeah. 266 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.720 And you're gonna know this one. This is green, white, blue, 267 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.960 two three to three elf noble. Sure, whenever another creature 268 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.559 you control enters, choose one that hasn't been chosen. 269 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:43.559 This turns it's a blank deck. Okay, no, no, okay. 270 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.799 The first choice add green green green, remember this card. 271 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.799 The second choice put a plus one plus one counter 272 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:55.519 on each creature you control. The third one is describe 273 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.320 to then draw card, so you can do any of 274 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.399 those once, turn all of them if you choose a creature. 275 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.279 Is one of the cards you bought for the set, 276 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.120 the Green Green three sorcery that makes an elephant a 277 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.279 snake and uh wolf. 278 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.799 No, but that's great. That's the exact kind of Uncle 279 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.320 Brando bullshit tech that I need. 280 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.159 Yeah, because I feel like if you're not playing that 281 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:18.840 you might be pushing the deck a little bit too farther. 282 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.360 A bud Well might be trying a little bit too hard. 283 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.960 This is the example card that I'm going to go 284 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.440 back to. Okay, this is the example card I'm gonna 285 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.039 go back to. But before we get to specific examples, Okay, 286 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:33.559 I want to know your general sort of umbrella opinion, 287 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:38.440 and I want to know, like of the Blink deck no, no, no, 288 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.480 of certain categories of things, Blink maybe being one of them. Okay, 289 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.159 but things like in a deck like this, like a 290 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.600 three color Elf deck, let's say, or a three color 291 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.279 Blink deck. Sure, how many tutors like what's appropriate? How 292 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.879 many win cons do I need? Like how much fast 293 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.039 MANA do I need? That kind of stuff and sort 294 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:04.120 of I have category and sort of I have specific examples. 295 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.600 So I'm gonna start with the categories, and you hit 296 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.440 the first one on the head. Blink. 297 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:10.519 Okay, Now. 298 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.600 There's kind of two different kinds of blink. There's the 299 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.960 blink that puts things back to your hand so you 300 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.639 can then redeploy it, but also so you can save it, 301 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.360 and you can kind of use it as like a 302 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.720 to blank or to counter a removal spell. Right, that's 303 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:31.879 I think totally fine. Yeah, and you could you could 304 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:36.799 lump things like I don't know, spider silk thing, armor net, 305 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.600 snakeskin veil. That's what I was thinking of. What it 306 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.600 gives your guy shroud or hexproof, and it's like a 307 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.519 green or blue counterspell. 308 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.240 The blink ones are perfectly fine. It's a way of 309 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.519 utilizing your the tools in your deck in a more 310 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.639 optimal way. That's fine. Yeah, And that's not an optimization. 311 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.159 It's just if you're going to play a card that 312 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.559 does something, make it do the most stuff. 313 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.559 And if I said, okay, let's take that a step 314 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.759 further and talk about effemerate momentary blink, ghostly flicker, where 315 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.080 it goes immediately back into play and I can take 316 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.360 advantage of enter the battlefield or leave the battlefield and 317 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.919 save my guy from a counter or from a removal spell. 318 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.200 That's okay. Sure, if I had like three or four 319 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.799 or six like blink decks are wont to do? Is 320 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.600 that too much redundancy when I have such a great 321 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:33.440 value engine in the command. 322 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.080 Zo I hate it? Okay, but that's me anciodotally hating it. 323 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.679 I think that the decks themselves are fine. The decks 324 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.840 that I dislike the most personally are the dirtily ones. Yes, 325 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:47.559 if you're gonna okay, I'm gonna play one card and 326 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.519 then I'm gonna draw three cards. I'm gonna look at 327 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.960 the ten cards in my hand, and I'm gonna play 328 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.879 this one. I'm gonna draw three more. Look at all 329 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.200 the now there's fifteen cards in my hand. Yes, those 330 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.759 are the decks that I I don't particularly like playing 331 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.640 against because they go for a really long time and 332 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:11.200 often they don't go anywhere really meaningful, because they build 333 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.920 up this huge board state into a wrathagod Yes, or 334 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.160 they take a thirty five minute turn end up with 335 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.759 fewer lands than they started with. Yeah, and made a 336 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.160 one one you know what I mean, Like, those aren't 337 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.799 my kind of jams. Those are typically, I would say, 338 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.000 in chantrous decks with the blinking and the bouncing and 339 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.759 the yeah, well here on the I would say that blink. 340 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.119 I don't necessarily mind, but I find them a little 341 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.440 frustrating because every time you try and do anything, the 342 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.960 deck benefits from you trying to deal with them. 343 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.559 Yes, and I just god damn it. 344 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.680 And again I appreciate that exists. I just don't like it. 345 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.319 And that's fine. 346 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.599 So if we look at the specific example now with 347 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:55.599 Galadriel and I had something where it says blink two 348 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.359 things on one spell, right, and I blink my thing 349 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.319 ETBs and ETBs exits and enters the battlefield and glad 350 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.720 Dril and I stack my triggers. So when when I 351 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.400 cast the thing, I get to scry to draw card 352 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.680 because that doesn't take any time, right, okay, eye roll 353 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.680 and then blink. Both of them stack the triggers. So 354 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.359 gladryl enters and sees because she's a new object, a 355 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.279 new thing entering the battlefield, scry to draw card again. 356 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:27.759 And if I do that on every single person's turn, 357 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.480 and I have that engine to draw four cards around. 358 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.759 That's getting to be egregious. Yes, Or if I paired 359 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.200 it with maybe you've heard about this card, I think 360 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.279 it flies under the radar a little bit. But maybe 361 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.480 you can combo with something like Cloudstone Curio, so every 362 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.880 time I blink something, I can bounce something else and 363 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.799 replay it like a zero drop. 364 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.240 Yeah. 365 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.200 Right, that gets a little bit egregious because now I'm 366 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.119 starting to add three and scry two and draw card 367 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.480 each turn. Never mind when I'm getting ready to attack 368 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.440 and deploy like six or seven guys with blinking Galadril 369 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.559 and then putting plus ones on six or seven times. 370 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.759 Then it's like, oh well, just blink Galadriel six times 371 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:13.960 a turn and put a plus one every time a 372 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.279 new creature comes in. Now, if I do it six times, 373 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.160 that might be taking up too many people's turns. Sure, 374 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.880 But if I play it with what's the unicorn that 375 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:24.640 blinks himself? 376 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:31.839 L lah, whatever, the fucking unicorn. 377 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.359 The unicorn that blinks himself, he can go infinite with 378 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:39.200 Galadriel and like a cost reducer or a clone that 379 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:42.079 can copy a legend like a Sakashima. Sure, and then 380 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.359 you can just like take turns blinking, which Galadriel, that 381 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.559 you blink and the non legend sees the legend enter 382 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.599 and then blinks, and then the legend enters and the 383 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.599 non legend sees it, and they just blink, blink, blinkin 384 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.200 every time you do that, you can draw your whole 385 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.119 deck and put plus ones on all your guys for 386 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.920 however many cards you having your library. 387 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:02.279 So it's the same as every other infinite compent. 388 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:07.440 Yes, does that cross the line again and become okay? 389 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.680 Because I'm not taking up everybody's time in this example, 390 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:16.200 I'm just demonstrating the loop and then having people scoop or. 391 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.000 Well, I mean they shouldn't scoop, they should lose. 392 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:20.160 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. 393 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.079 But yeah, I don't know, I don't that's a tricky 394 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.599 one because to get I think, to get to that point, 395 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.559 you're grinding out my time. 396 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:34.279 Yes, to the inevitable end that I'm just looking at doing, 397 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:39.599 which while it does end abruptly as to not drag 398 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:44.200 your time, it did sort of let you down, right, 399 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.680 It sort of let down your expectation of time spent 400 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.359 and epic ending. 401 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.119
