Transcript

Here's the comedical Cookok Podcast, episode three ninety seven. I'm Branda, I'm here. It's Ryan and I We're gonna talk about Ian Malcolm fighting Gandalf now in our theme song. Hey Ryan, We're back for yet another whirlwind adventure. How you doing good? What is going down with that theme song? My whole everything is just it's out to launch a little. My voice is a little bit tired of and talking all week telling stories from Calgary and Vegas

and all the insanity that happened in between. And since it's Thanksgiving here in Canada as of today's past after you guys are listening to it. But happy Thanksgiving anyway to everybody out there, even our American friends. I have a funny CEO story about that to tell you that you in particular will appreciate. But before we get to any of that, we have to thank our official business, Daddy's Fusion Gaming Online dot com, your source for all your gaming

needs, very much so. And I'm waiting for I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the Lord of the Rings Holiday Edition. That's what I'm gonna call it. Okay, it's the Lord of the Rings Holiday Bundle comes out in November. You can get it at Fusion and if you use CCO Summer even though it's the fall, they're probably gonna make us change it soon. But I'm not gonna mention it or bring it up. CEO Summer promo code, you're

gonna get a discount on all the stuff that you buy. I want the next one to be c CEO Slap as I slap your lips off as a slap some money off the top, as in go into the store and slap someone about the head and face until they give you a discount, or or go on the internet and don't commit felonious assault. It's up to you what he said, Yes, it is up to you. CEO Summer is the

promo code you can get a discount if you're new to the nation. We've got some new subscribers after Calgary and after Vegas and over the last couple of weeks. Thanks for being here. CEO Perks promo code is going to get you ten percent store credit kick back on your order of over one hundred Canadian dollars or more. Yes, which is like fifteen US dollars. But since

most of our new subs are Canadian, it's it's one hundred bucks. Yeah, but you're gonna save money with CCO summer, you're gonna get money back. Then you're gonna spend that money that you save on more. But you're gonna spend less because you can keep using the promo codes. Last last thing about it is if you are Canadian, awesome, happy Thanksgiving. It's different here in Canada for the people who are like turning us off because they don't

believe in Thanksgiving. It's different in Canada than in the United States. It actually means a different thing. If you're from Canada and you use the Fusion promo code, they're gonna know that you're in the nation. And I'm not gonna say they're gonna give you preferred and or faster shipping, but I fucking am because they're gonna do that. You're gonna get super fast shipping, priority order filling probably. Yeah. I usually get my Fusion order within three business

days. I made an order while we were in Calgary. Was waiting for me when I got home. Oh yeah, guess what it was. They couldn't just hand you the cards in the person, No, because they were probably stinkers. Yeah, they didn't bring them to the show four foil extended art and myriad landscapes. Nobody's bringing home you suck it magic. I went to every vendor in in Vegas, every single one, and not a single one had it. Yeah, but some of them had fricking dark misprinted Griffin

canyons. Not anymore. You know what's gonna be. You know what's gonna be the freakin' worst the icing tell me. The kicker to that long form joke of you and Aaron just having those and me not having them, correct is is if editor Joe Ever gets his hands on one and can meme on me on the show, on my own freaking show man. Frick. I'm not saying that me and Aaron car could probably make that happen, but we probably could most likely. Okay, we've got some podcasting business. We've got

last week's winner of the Booster Pack game. No, was it last week or like? I have no idea who I think it's like? Actually last week because it came from the pre show for episode three ninety six and now we're on three ninety seven. Okay, I think that's good. Yes, If you remember we were talking about towels on the floor of hotel rooms. Yeah, is that okay or not? And we got a whole a myriad of answers of what landscape to leave your towel? That was shut up?

That was good man, I like that. I like that. Okay, Well, now towels on the floor, towels and the tub definitely don't fold them back up like they weren't used and put them back where you freaking gross. That was one of the answers. Just trying your nuts off and you leave it for the next guy. This tell smells like grill geez. Okay, if your name is let me read it hold on Derek four two seven seven seven. That's probably not your name, but it might be your YouTube

handle. If that's you, send us an email at Commandercookout at gmail dot com. Let us know if you want a boring ass pack of magic cards, a super sweet Commander Cookout sticker pack, or or this is my favorite one. This is my favorite one, is my favorite one? A token pack of Brando tokens drawn by me for you. Yes, we have the new tokens and that leads perfectly into Oh, Derek four two seven seven seven. Make sure to give us your full address so I don't have to chase

you down with full postalines. Code all very important to the address and your real name. Yeah, I don't care about that. I guess you don't really need your real name. Yeah, I don't care. Yeah, new brando tokens. Yeah, they're available on Commander Cookout dot com. Let me find the store. They're part of the Fall line because they're actually well, two of them are actually Halloween themed. A pumpkin eating a goblin that's the food token, and then a zombie a human definitely not a zombie, totally

real human. Use them as a token at your discretion. Those are part of our fall line, with the tukes and the sweaters and the pomp pom things and the hunting orange tukes. Everybody that's seen them really thinks they look sharp because they're orange with like the black Commander Cookout logo on them. That's fun. Yeah, they're all the tukes look really good. Even even Rebecca

is like, oh, those came out actually really nice. Yeah. And if you have the orange one and you go hunting for birds or elks or other things that you hunt, the odds of you getting shot go down. Yes, that's what they're for. Yes, yes, you don't actually have to wear orange and to hunt birds or wild hunting bird, but you should. Well, I don't want to get shot. You're getting shot would be sixty and let me let me science you right, Okay, Ryan's a science

guy. I'm I'm kind of not. But science says if you get shot, you want to get shot, not in your head, because getting shot in the head is probably the worst place to get shot. So if you mark where your head's at, you're probably less likely to get shot there. Very important. Can can confirm, right, I think that that that's science, so sharp agreed. Also science. There's also black ones, which is the opposite of what Brandon is. Yes, yes, that is also correct.

But if you want to do crime and you cover your head with a tuke, then people won't know what your hair looks like, which is something that people might use to describe or identify you, therefore making you better at crime. Here you go, like shooting somebody in that which guy had the CEO? Two? Gone? Oh both? Let me tell my Halloween story real fast. Belton Johnson at work. He's a former writer. Don't care,

good guy, streat guy comes from the Southern States. I calls him up to talk about his cooking segment that we do every Friday on Everyday Program. And he says, and I says to him, so you're in Canada, you've been Canadian for like ten years, but you're from America. Which Thanksgiving do you do you celebrate? And he goes Brando boom and he actually said both. It was really cool. I got a kick out of that. So that's fun, fantastic. Okay, fall line go and get it.

There's gonna be more tokens, Christmas ones, and more Christmas stuff and new stickers coming out like in November, so they're available for Christmas presents for people in the nation. All that's coming up. It's just not out yet. It's part of the fall line, but I'm rolling it out so I don't drive myself crazy. Also in the comments for Christmas, I'm gonna make

some other tokens to go along with the Christmas themed ones. So if there's one that you want to see that isn't like super specific, like a merit lege or something like that, let me know and I'll try and doodle those as well. Oh, like an angel on top of a Christmas tree or a snake or some kind of like Christmas specific funny food thing Branda Alters. They were so popular as a Patreon sign up gift that we decided just to

make it official. I'm really excited about that, and thank you everybody that likes them. Yes, I'm really proud of them and it makes me happy. Speaking of Patreon. Okay, we got a couple couple increases and new ones that need or reneed nicknames. Let's hit them with the truth. Okay, so we've got an increase. Okay, Matt fluture that's meat flute. Now, remember there's two of them though, No meat flute and meat toot because he's meat flute. Two. Yeah, there's Matt and Matt. Flutcher

is meat flute though, right. Yeah, I don't remember if he's meat flute or meat toot. I don't remember which flutcher came first. They're brothers or cousins or father son or something. There's two of them. Well, meet flute, meat toot, meat flute toot. Yes, flute toot, flute tooot. We have pre she hate you, no king in the nation. We're happy to have you. Even if it doesn't sound like we appreciate you. We do. Yes, Second, one. This is a returner.

This is somebody calm back for like the third time, and it's a callum. Oh man, there's no way we're gonna remember who this guy is. This is officially Callum stone House is his name, and he's like Callum Sanity and all the He's got like eighty seven nicknames. So we got to give him a new one. Oh man, Callum Oh he can? Can we call him? Did we call him Callum brick shiit House yet? I don't know? Now we are? Now we are? You know what he

can we call him? We'll call him log shit House because he goes up north and plants trees all the time there it is, use his leg pine trees to wipe his butt. Oh gross, yeah, man, it's like a barbecue. Imagine using bark just to wipe your butt. Well, we'll have to ask you get like a sliver or some moss up there. Man, you give yourself an infection? Yeah gross, butthole infection? Can you imagine whatetions? Oh? Just hot ass not in a good way? Wants

that? No, no, no king shaming in the nation. If you do want that, yeah, it's fine, Like we yeah, we don't want it. Though you know. Okay, ah, oh, I lost it. Frick. What's the other one? Next one? Well, the next one was thank you for the donations on coffee dot com slash Commander Cookout.

We appreciate it. If you want to donate there and buy your boys some beer for the upcoming Sidewalk Slam that we were just talking about on the pre show and the pre pre show that's coming up, Sidewalk Slim season two. You were going to try and get a couple of our local homies to uh yep, saddle up and roll to play decks. They're just shit, never before seen guests. We've got a husband and wife pair lined up,

We've got we've got some fun things planned. We've got If anybody is interested in showcasing a product or becoming a sponsor, that is always on the table. You can message us anywhere that you can find in the show notes, email or Twitter or Facebook or whatever. Speaking of husband and wife, Paris, I made an Internet mistake and I got a mac. I need you to get me your wife's Etsy store link again so I can buy that book. Okay, damn it could have just messaged him. No, I'm gonna

do it here because maybe it's Christmas coming up. The book's cool. I want one. People out there should get one. It's the ABC's of Swearing. Yeah, it's very it's super funny, So I figure it's worth a yep plug here on the world. We'll maybe we'll link it on the screen or whatever and send some traffic her way. That'd be super cool. And then I could watch the show. And that means I have to freakin message Mac now and get him to send me the link so I can send it

to editor Joe. What if Editor Joe just like took initiative and got it himself. Lol. Yeah, I probably in his eyes so hard. He's like, these goddamn guys make me do fricking so much. Yeah, sorry Joe, Sorry, not sorry. So thank you for the donations. If anybody wants to donate. Christmas is coming up. We're gonna use it for booster packs for kids, and donations of our own and and and stuff for the nation, and donarations my first donaor in Calgary. There you go,

sidewalk slam, oh last thing. And then we'll get to some cards and this is this is a Patreon. I'm gonna call this a benefit I'm gonna say the second annual Patreon Secret Santa is happening right now, and all of the people that are organizing it wanted it mentioned on the show because they know not all patrons use Discord, but all of the planning, all of the planning for it happens on the Discord Secret Santa thread And essentially people just get

numbers or pick names or however it works, and you build a like a c Seal Budget deck or or a raw Dog deck, and you send it to somebody in the male raw dog deck means no sleeves, play it on the floor. Yes, And I knew that. I knew that this was a thing, Like I knew that the raw Dog decks were a thing. And it's fun and they make jokes and they have banged up cards a riffle shuffle. One card got a hole burnt in it right from the fire.

I didn't know how special and endearing that these were. They're pretty cool, like people exchanged them and they were hugging and playing. And the funniest part about these shitty decks that people play on the floor is they freaking slap Yeah, Like Isaiah Isaiah Jerkranofsky was playing one in Calgary, like a CEO raw dog deck, no sleeves. He keeps it in a little mini onion bag which you can get on the Ceco store. Yes, freaking won a pod with it, and not like oh squeaked it out. No, he like

decimated the spot with this shitty deck. So that inspired me to make my own raw dog deck so I can take part in it that I have to build to No, dude, come on, what's what what's the financial investment in building a raw dog deck? A couple bucks? Wait? Yeah, but now it has to be all. I could make it out of nothing but foil chaff, king of the raw dogs, and they're not in sleeves that a'll be bent different ways, only post modern freaking foils too, so

they so you know that your deck is gonna look like an accordion. Perfect dude, what if you riffle shuffle them so hard they bend the other way? Okay, now I'm interested all of the research that people have been doing boiling cards and flattening them in books and different humidistats and freaking packs of silica jel. Uncle Brando's got the formula. Just bend a ship out of them

the wrong way. Just bend them the same way. Perfect on the When all your foils are bent the same way, none of them are bent. That's some chaos shit, right, that's anarchy. Oh, that's the opposite anarchy. That's chaos theory. Baby. You know who loves chaos theory, Ian Malcolm. You know who's on a magic card? Now? Ian Malcolm? Is that a Is that a Jurassic Park reference? Yeah, that's the that's the guy. He's on the screen right here. Uh no, wait,

no, there is there is that is that's him? Yeah? I thought you were making a freaking Doctor Who joked, Man, I suck. Never seen Doctor Who. But you have seen Jurassic Park like once. I've seen I've seen Drafts Park three like more than once. No wait, okay, so yes, yes, the third one, Jurassic Park three you have seen more than once? No? No, so you've seen three once and

the first one maybe once. I've seen the first one front to back once and I've seen like the middle of it a bunch of times, and the second one never, never one I ever seen. I've seen Jurassic World, I think with the Army guy and money Lady. Don't know Oh yeah, that's Jraassic World has army guy in money Lady. Oh sure, yeah, but sure we're talking about cards. Now we're moving into the magic still we're doing it. See that's a transition. Yeah. So we've got I've got

a few notes Doctor Who. Next week. We want to give it the attention it deserves after spending so much time on Lord of the Rings and Warhammer forty k and there's a lot of Who we talked about and apprecial lots of Hoovian's out there. We want to make sure that we do you justice because I know some stuff, but I want to actually kind of like bone.

I'm even watching the series that I knew before. I'm rewatching them, and I'm watching some of the older black and white stuff because it's available for free on the internet archive. Oh, if you're interested in watching any of that stuff, I know absolutely nothing about it other than there are people who love it. You're gonna learn some fun stuff. You're gonna get an appreciation for it, because there is some very interesting things in Doctor Who is fun for

everybody, which I like about it. I certainly appreciate the cards. There are some frickin' good ones and some funny ones. And I'm sure once I really dive into the set, there are gonna be cards that go directly into decks I own. I know that there's already vehicles that go directly into my Calamax Vehicle deck, some cool ones, and I know that there's gonna be some fun stuff for me. But that's gonna be maybe next week and the following week, because we'll look at the pre cons, we'll look at the

legendary creatures, that kind of stuff. Right as we Oh, that freaking card's name is Ian Malcolm? Is that the character's name? Yes, that's the thing. That's man, I suck. It's messing with me about the Jurassic Part cards because like they have their own set symbol. But are they like the Transformers where they're gonna be in a draft but they're gonna be in the packs, but they're outside the real set. And like, Ian Malcolm is not gonna be a standard card, right, correct? Indominus Rex Alpha

not a standard card. Correct? That card ruined standard. I don't even know what it does. There's too many words. It's a six six for five that's got a hundred words on it. It'll rec standard what's let's just read the bottom paragraphs. I think I saw the words draw card. When Indominus Rex enters the battlefield, draw card for each counter on it. Holy shit, Okay, yeah you're right, yeah, yes, And then the top puts like all different counters on it, like you sacrifice creatures and and

whatever abilities those creatures. Just read the card is the first one we're talking about. Okay, when at ETBs discard any number of creature cards, Oh, that's what it is. It enters the flying counter. If a card discarded this way as flying, the same as true four, first strike, double strike, death, touch, hexproof, Haste, indestructible, lifelink, Menace, reach, trample, and vigilance and flying. So twelve different ways to I mean, you gotta have twelve cards in your hand. No,

you don't just discard discard AA Tallpa. You draw what six six and your guy is basically an unbeatable creature. You discards THEA Talpa and a chroma Angel of Fury. Can't you in standard? Those cards aren't in standard, and you can't play that in an Indominous Rex deck. It's it's green green hybrid,

demere hybrid demeir one hang on a fucking second. Okay, you mean to tell me that they built a car card where you discard cards with abilities on them and then excluded white Therefore, the only thing that could raise the price of a za tlpa from like a dollar to a dollar and ten cents, really, come on? That is that is rude? Man. I don't know what's funnier that that statement that you just made or the fact that

you think is a tulpa's worth a dollar? Well, if you go into a store, they're gonna charge you a dollar because it's in the dollar rare mind. Ah, okay, correct, if you if you buy them on the website less than a dollar. If you were to go in and say, all right, it was a tulpa, the guy's gonna go behind you, flip the pages of a book. He's gonna pull one out from like the forty five slots in the page that all have them and dollar. Yes, yes, yes, so okay, we've got new what did you say,

transformer seeding of some kind of universe beyond thing. Yes, this time it's Jurassic Park, which fits right in with the dinosaur theme within Exelon. I think it might fit better than Transformers. With March of the Machine. I think it does. I think it does. You could play that Indominus Rex and if you didn't look at the set symbol. I I just assumed that that card when I saw it was in Exelon and it was part of

the previews that they showed in Vegas. That's because he's never seen Jurassic World enough times to remember that that's the villain. I remember that now because it's like super sneaky and can camouflage. It's like genetically the perfect engineered dinosaur, right, But that's the stick. Well, they designed it to be the most dangerous dinosaurs. Dangerous equals exciting, Exciting equals money. Wats he taught us that hot sie. Yeah, freakin'. They're they're meta meta in against

us. That's right, the dominant given us, given us a taste of their own medicine. Yes, how do we feel about them being in Who can say? I think that it's fine. I like them not being in standard. I think just makes it like they're fine. I like when they do this. I think that this is a good way to do universes beyond when it's thematically tied to the set that it's being launched in the other way that we've both expressed that we like it is in its own, its own

thing. If you don't want to engage with the thing, you don't have to engage with it one bit whatsoever. Warhammer was like that. Lord of the Rings was like that, even though it was its own set. Doctor who is its own set. But if you don't want to engage with it, you can just not don't And and it's not ruining magic when it's done that way, just like it's not ruining magic when if you never open collector

packs, you'll never see Jurassic Park cards. So if you just want to open set boosters to try and pull cards that you want from the set, or if you just buy singles from Fusion Gaming Online dot com, you'll never see those cards. Frickin ever? Are they? I think they're in set boosters? Sure, I think that, but who cares? Who cares? They're in their own slot. You're not gonna lose it, Like you're not gonna open a pack and go, here's the rare and it's an Ian Malcolm,

Yes, because it's its own slot. So you're gonna get like the slot you don't give a shit about you can give to your friend who likes Juraskic Park and move on with your life. Correct, And that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty easy. It's pretty easy. Let's flip over some cards because we're gonna talk about the Lord of the Rings holiday thing. We've got some uh some some manacrypts to talk about. Sot's let's flip over and show those off. Okay, okay, so we're gonna talk about manicrypt real

quick. We mentioned it before the break, and now we're back. There are let's count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven maniccrypts. And I assume there's going to be a regular art. If this the first one here is not regular art based on the Cavern of Souls, which we're gonna talk about in a minute, I would think that there

will also be a air quotes regular art maniccrypt as well. Okay, Now, the reason I think we have so many is there's one for white, blue, black, red, and green, and it looks like there's another one with a red pin stripe border that has a different art, and there's also one with a regular pin stripe border that has what is maybe the original art. Maybe we'll see another one still don't know, so maybe the maybe original art or maybe that's the artifact one, and then the one with the

red pinstriping and the yellow art in the green face. Maybe that one is the multi colored one. Perhaps maybe Oh yeah, yeah, that okay, I'll buy that. Now, if you're not watching on YouTube, which you should be, which you should be, Oh, Joe, couldn't turn your green there, you could turn the whole screen green, baby, if you're not watching, These look like a classic Mesoamerican or as tech kind of mask or some kind of motif that would be on this carved into stone or something.

Right, it looks like the mask on the Panini that the dude and saw ten got his head caught in. Gross. Yeah, well, if you're familiar with that, yes, that's what I guess it looks like. Now there's a whole bunch of them, and there's a whole bunch of cavern

of souls. We've been on record in the past saying that we don't like this because there was that one Jase from like Likeefrey Teffrey thirty different versions of yeah, and then they were all just different versions of the same kind of video that they just freeze framed yea and made art from Now this is a little bit different in that, Yes, they're the same art with just different colors, Like somebody just messed with the huge slider and photoshop and made air

quotes different art. Yeah, but Manacrypt is like sixty two hundred dollars. Cavern of Souls is just as much, if not more. It's seventy to one hundred, depending on how you how you're cutting it, because we have different arts for those cards, those maybe three digit Canadian dollars cards in price. I apiate it more this time because they're going to show up maybe at

a higher clip. Do you I remember the last time they did this where they did all the different colors and like they got progressively rarer based on the color. I don't know if they're doing that this time. I don't think so, because they're doing one for each color of magic. Cavern of Souls can go in one of any color of deck, so can Manic crypt I like these two card choices in particular because you can run them in casual Commander

Rule zero. You're Manic crypt In and say I'm playing fast MANA and it's on theme and blah blah, blah, right, And Cavern of Souls goes in like basically any creature deck or any deck where you have a commander that you don't want to get countered, right, it goes in any eh deck that has a commander. Hey, that's that's lots of well, that's most of them. Hey, holy some have two commanders that have the same creature

type. It's holy crap. So I like these two card choices. I'm reasonably sure sure, because they're different cards, and they have different collector numbers sort of there's like ABCD whatever on the on the collector number, they can show up like the black Mancrypt and the Green Mancrypt for example, can show up bang bang in the two slots that these cards come in in a collector

pack. Here's what I'm noticing. So I'm just noticing this. They have different set symbols, they do. Yes, the Cavern of Souls and the Manacrypt and the Indominus Rex Alpha all have different set symbols. Yes, the Indominus Rex is a different set symbol because it's like it's a secret layer or sorry, a universe is beyond products. It's Jurassic Parks. That makes sense. Yes, the Cavern of Souls has the same set symbol as the regular cards from the set that I can look at here the excell On set,

and then the Mancrypt has its own different one. Yes, it is the same as the Lord of Atlantis that was also spoiled, which tells me maybe this is a what he calls it, like the mystical archive enchanting tails gimmick. You are correct, they're doing both at once both. This is what Scryfall is calling special guests. And oh these are neon ink, so maybe these are gonna be like crazy expensive and everything that I said is just gone down the toilet. Yeah, that they could be. Yeah, I'm hoping

they're not, because I really like that yellow one for obvious reasons. Yellow is my favorite color, so I want the yellow one. So we'll see. I'm hoping that they show up at a rate where I can maybe get them, But if they don't, that's fine because maybe they'll bring down regular manages. Okay, well, okay, the first one is nonfoil and foil like, that's the colorless border one. Okay, great, that'll show up where it shows up in collector packs, right, And I'm happy that there's

more of them anytime. You can print more manocrypts is good for the whales you get neon ink manocrypts, and for the people who care about packs having high dollar, high variants collectible collectibility. Yep, you still get what you want too. So everything that I said a couple of minutes ago still holds true. Yep, we get more manocrypts, and we still get rare pimp flex on nube manocrypts. And the same is true with Cavern of Souls,

and they both are commander both casual and CEDH staples. Can I say in any other way how much I like this now? No, because you've said that perfectly well, these these are a great idea. I agree with everything you said, and anybody that does usually we're doing that, can shut up because this is good. Can you say it any more straightforward? No?

I cannot. The only thing that I don't think it'll happen because they're mythics, is you know when you open collector packs and you've done it where you open up two of the same card bang bang, oh man like card foil version of card showcase or showcase, and then showcase foil of the same card

bang bang bang. That's not gonna happen with cavern of Souls, though it could because there's ten freakies other there's the there's the Neon inc ones of each color, the regular one in the Neon ink art, then there's the regular one regular one foil, and you get the box topper Lord of the Rings re skinned Caverns of Souls that come in nonfoil I think from the old boxes, foil box toppers from the original boxes, and then you get serialized versions

in collector packs all Cavernous Souls. There's like freaking twelve different Kaverna soles in the last calendar year that you could open up. It's pretty good, and you can still open them if you go to your lgs and buy some packs, which is they're still out there to be opened. Let's move on. We talked about a little bit of draft Spark, a little bit of Ixilon. I want to talk about and I've touched on the I've criticized this a little bit on Commander had Populum, but I want to go for it here

too. Oh, I'm going to hit it with the criticism of all criticisms. Baby the Lord of the Rings Holiday Edition. Mm hmmm. Frames, tell me what you think. I think they're ugly as hell. I think that big black stripe on the side looks stupid, and I think whoever approved that should be fired it is. They should lose their job. It's a bad look. Their job should be given to somebody who's better at it than they are. You know what, I don't mind the solid black on the

edges. I think it frames the art nice. It looks three deep. But why not put just a pin line down there, like even a scrolly pin line, like the like the l Drain showcase cards. Yeah, like that's what those sort of look like. Why don't have the art just go to the edge of the cart? Also? Yes, why why have an obvious blank space there? I don't know, stupid, I don't know, it's dumb. Moving on from that, I like the scrolly thing. I like it look it looks old and high fantasy. Sure, but I can't

get past the black frames. I got some question for you. I'm hit you with my thing first, I'll go hitch with it. Sure. So this is the second edition of the Lord of the Rings thing. Yes, there's new cards bought. All the big pimp high end super duper collectibles from the first one, the one ring serialized foil salt. Yeah, all that stuff gone. Yes, So this is like the shall we call it the

revised Lord of the Rings. This is remarkably close to what I was going to ask you, because this is essentially putting a fucking white border on these cards, except it's black. Yeah, right, Like that's the first thing I thought. Oh, they're re releasing the set with fewer high dollar cards in it. This is the new white border. They're testing to see if people will just deal with white border again. That's what this is to me, and I don't like it. That's remarkably close to what I was gonna

ask you. It's funny we hit on the same thing. Is this gonna be a product that sells? Is this going to be a thing that people are interested in having? Like we talked about collecting Lord of the Rings lots, and we talk about collect what you want and maybe get all the lands or all the mythics, whatever it is. Right, I went after the entire set, like the lands and the tokens, and the regular and showcase frames or the regular and extended art frames of the same card. Like some

card I owned three or four of the same card different treatments. These I'm not gonna go after. I think they're the same cards. Here's the thing that is kind of hitting me. When I heard that they were gonna redo Lord of the Rings, I thought that this is this is great because the prices are pretty high on them, and the single prices are are elevated, elevated because they were, you know, an expensive pack and sought after product.

Yeah, all the reasons that they're they're worth a little bit more money. And then I hear they're gonna reprint them, and I thought, this is great. They're gonna do it again, but with fewer Like there's no one ring, there's no sel rings like we talked about a second ago. So maybe these ones will be a little bit less. So people who just need that last Nasghul y can pick it up and and here we are,

and now you can't. You can, but you're not gonna wanna do that, because if you're one of those people that's trying to do the complete set of the nine Nasgul, you don't want one of them to have a scroll border. Yeah, that's like playing a set of lightning bolts in your legacy deck and one of them has a white border. It's gonna look terrible. It's gonna look different now. And if you're filling out your full set of Lord of the Rings and you're missing let's say a sam or an oath of

ural ah Man, I missed them in Lord of the Rings. Now those ones that were printed before they're gone. Now they're not available anymore because now these are the ones that you're printing. So when you're going through your binder you're full set, you're gonna see the ones that you missed the first time and had to pick up in the loser reprint. Yeah, and you know what, they have a different collector number two, so it's like they don't

even fit in in collector number order. Just to clarify, there is new Nasgul like it's the same card with new art. There is a one ring, same card, new sorry, new frame frame frame, same art, new frame. There is a one ring. There's no one of one the one of one ring to promotional sell a million packs in one day ring. Correct. There are no serialized reskins of Soul ring in this product. Yes,

there are serialized reskins of some lands that are they're there. Those are there, But the I think the big selling points from the initial run of Lord of the Rings are not present here. Now I want to get into something with you because me, hey, go to scroll down to the bottom. I shan'n't. I want to talk about the secret Layer, I guess, or the weird art, the the like the the sixties concert poster treatments

not my thing, not your thing, not my thing. Are there any that you would play in noorin because I look like a concert poster for a led Zeppelin concert instead of instead of like a magic card? And there is a one ring in there that you could play in Norn and it would make your deck better if I had one. I if I open one, I will play it in Norn. I'm not gonna seek it out because that's gonna be an expensive ass foil. Oh yeah, and it's double rainbow foil.

Hey. Yeah, there's a Dawn of the New Age. There's a Gandalf the White Storm of Saramon watcher in the water, which I like with his big stupid eyeballs. There's a shadow of the Enemy. These are all concert posters, right which King of Angmoor? I do play that? So again, if I find one, I'll play it. But Hugh, the ent Wood, Spiteful Banditry, Last of Last March of the Ents, Radagas, the Brown Erragorn, the uniter a Owen or Arwen Arwin. We can't even

read, can't even read that. You know all the cards, you know what card this is, and you can't even say what card it is? Like that's the I appreciate the artistry of them, but I think overall, like these cards have too many words on them to be this difficult to read. Man. This is the This is the modern day equivalent of the no text cryptic command. Oh that's a good take. Where you a cryptic command? Oh what does that do? Well? It draws me a card,

encounters or spell what? No it doesn't. No, it taps all your dudes and draws me a card. No, no, no it doesn't. No card does that? This one does well? This one just you got to look it up, right. But like when you look at the Witch King of Angmer, like, you couldn't even show that to somebody and have them figure out what the hell that does. Look at the tom Bombadill text. It's like size point one font, the anduro font, the glamdring one

looks cool wats them look cool, They're super cool. I want the poster of Sour on the Dark Lord. That's a cool one that is neat that like, they look good, like if you had a concert poster of these hanging in studio CEO, or if if anybody wanted to, I don't know, send them and we'll put them in like the you know wherever to hang them up behind us. If I had a dollar for everybody that said, oh, look there's a mountain for you. Brand don't know. That's Mount

Doom. Yes, the main thing on the card is the word mount Doom and it does kind of look like mountain mount to oom, right Like, so I think that they're neat, they're they're cool, but they're not for these are not my thing. I think that many people are gonna say that. I think if you crack one of these in double Rainbow foil, you immediately put a sleeve on it and oh yeah, sell it or get it graded, because these suckers, like the one ring, the one ring in

double Rainbow foil is going to be ridiculously expensive. Oh yeah, it's it's going to be obscene and man to get to get one of those puppies, graded like higher than nine nine or higher, and turn around and sell it for like a thousand dollars or more. You're in good shit. That's gonna be cool. Who these are going to be for, I think is is people who already play Tom Bombadil and know exactly what he does and want the

the fully pimped Tom Bombadil deck. Right Like, if there was a Noran Reeskin and and he looked like one of these, it's the not magic cardist looking Noran that you could get. And I would if there was an animar one Reeskin frick as soon as it's available, I have it, right, I mean I would. I would. I would mug people for it. I love the artistry and wish that I could alter magic cards like this.

You can every Thursday on our Facebook page. You can see I probably could, but man alive to do it. To do art like that that small, that'd be challenging but cool stuff. Well, then again, they didn't do it that's small either. They exactly they did it big. Let's talk about the scene cards. Scene cards. These are the new cards that come out in the Lord of the Rings. It's not just a reprint set that had to throw in some new cards for people like you who already have the

full set, and they want you to spend more money. I was just gonna say, I have more money in my wallet and I just hate owning money, and they just they want it, they want it. That's that's the joke. Now these I think you buy these by themselves, like you buy this, like you buy this Aragorn Hornberg Hero. And can I just say that any card from the Lord of the Rings set that has alliteration in its name, I am just rock hard for it. Because Tolkien was an

a literist, Like that's what he did. He translated and wrote poems in a literative verse. So let's give Aragorn Hornberg Hero a freed but he's a four to four for Naya and one human soldier. Attacking creatures you control with wait on, let me try that again. Attacking creatures you control have first strike and renown one. I don't care what renowned does. Whenever a renowned creature you control those combat damage to a player, double the number of plus

one plus one counters on it, yes to become renowned. It's like a triggered ability. When a creature with renowned one deals damage to a player, it gets a plus one counter on it and is now renowned, which means it will not become renowned again. Correct, But with Aragorn they will continue to renown themselves. Oh man, I love renounding myself and over, sometimes twice in a row, double ing the counters on myself. That's pretty good. That's a fine card. You build around that with all of the cards

that we're going to talk about and do real Narsil reforged. This is one of those cards where if you don't know Lord of the Rings, that just is gibberish. Like when I read a Warhammer forty K card, I just have no idea what that is? What does that even? Is that? The sword? Is that his hand? You have to look at the picture to know what the hell they're talking about. So this is an equipment for

two and equips for three legendary. It's got a send. So if ten emanents you ascend, Yes, whenever equip creature attacks, put a plus one plus one counter on each creature you control. If you have the city's blessing, aka, you've ascended. It's just stupid everything. Hey, why doesn't it just say if you've ascended, put two counters on each creature instead, it kind of gives me a blade of the butt cheek. Yeah, es, but for everybody, and for very little work. It's so easy to

ascend in eh, it doesn't even make sense. This card. Might as well just say whenever this creature attacks makes your team faking big, you might as well just say that. That's a that's pretty good card. It's a good card. That's a good card, very good card. I don't think it's as good as this card, though, Lego this as quick reflexes, Dude, this card is going to lead to more blowouts than any fricking card

in this set. Green instant split second meaning it's gonna happen untapped target creature until end of turn against hex Proof Reach, and whenever this creature becomes tapped, it deals damage equal to its power to up to one target. Creach Man. It's pretty good. I can attack and then untap my own guy. I can untap my own guy and block. I can use an ability, untap, use that ability again and deal damage. This card freaking is It slaps and it's got split second, so you can't even do anything about

it. It's very good. Well, this is on the stack. Nothing else goes on the stack until this is off the stack. Yeah, it's freaking good ass card right there. Then we go on to not a very good ass card, and Gimli's reckless might is an enchantment for red three gives your creature's haste. That's good, yes, as formidable whenever you attack, if creatures you control have total power eight or more, targ attacking creature you

control fights up to one creature you don't control. I don't think that's very good. Ah, it's fine, yeah, Why why not one guy gets like double strike? Oh that'd be better. What do all your guys get double strike? Oh? Now we're talking, yeah, right, like haste and double strike though, ooh maybe not. Well, you already have guy's power eight or greater. You're probably stomping somebody's face in any way, I suppose, right, Yeah, come on, you gave legless an Arragorn a

good car. Then Gimli just got the short end. O. That's why they did it. He's short, short, bunch of asshole. That's just all that. That's real, harsh Watzi, come on, come on, you can do better a bunch of bullies. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. That's right. I'm disappointed. Papa Ryan's Madrick Geez, go to your room and think about what you've done. Watzi know what else they've done. They've unleashed Eyesngard. Oh is this one good? Uh? Probably not?

Actually, this one's good. I remember reading this one and telling Rebecca that it's good, and she didn't care because she doesn't play mad. I'll be the judge Red Red Red two sorcery damage can't be prevented this turn. That sounds pretty good. If a source you control would deal damage this turn to an opponent or a permanent opponent controls, it deals triple that damage instead. So that's a one turn triple damager. But and it flashes back for

Red Red Red seven. So if you've got lots of man and you cast this and then you flash it back, do triple and then triple again. Yes, if you have twelve manna and dudes that attack, I guess you could do lots of damage. Is this just? What's what's the ritual? Mana equal to tap lands your ponents control. It's on the Manaflair. Man If you go Maniflair and then Eisngard unleashed, I win is that just a combo if you have dudes, because you only need one guy, well you

got to hit everybody. I need three guys and they need no blocks. Shut up. I thought you'd like this card, you and Mac. I thought you'd just be rock hard for this card. I actually don't usually like cards like this because there's such an investment to play that you're out of resources to do whatever you're going to do next. You got to have the board, and then this is kind of like the win con. This kind of

feels like insurrection, like stuff has to be happening. But this is like a this is a win more card to me because the odds are if I'm in a situation where I can just pound somebody into the floor by doing triple damage, I can probably pound them into the door, the floor doing regular deck, the floor and the door. Yes, I could play seven Manna instead and give all my dudes double strike and take an extra combat instead of

doing this probably quadruple damage. Probably you don't need to cast it then flash it back. Probably you just win by paying five yeah with the team Yeah right, And I think that that still makes it a really good card. It's a fine card. I just it's not pumping my nads as I like to say. I wonder what the math is on how much damage Mac is gonna do in his Jessica's Balls deck, because you know he's gonna triple damage with Jessica and then he's gonna triple damage with this, and then he's gonna

flash it back. You know that that's gonna happen, and the damage output is gonna be like seventeen trillion. Well one would be turned to three, turn to nine, turn to twenty seven, so every one would he twenty seven and he's gonna do like forty times twenty seven, whatever that number's I'm I'm just throwing numbers out there, and it's gonna be fun. Row herem Chargers. Okay, okay, this is this when they blow the horn and they run out of Helm's Deep and they're running them all down on the bridge.

Yeah. And if you look real close in the movie, you can actually see Arwin in there because they forgot to take that scene out from when she was gonna actually be at Helms Deep. That's fricking real. Yeah. Okay, so check this out. This is where HEREM Chargers White Red two, Human Night four to four, you may exert row hear them chargers as it attacks that I'm just tired and one on attack. It's like it's putting a stun counter on it. There we go. I suppose it's like making

an attack extra hard. Yeah, yeah, so you extra hard attack when you exert a creature, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an equipment card. Put that card onto the battlefield attached to that creature, then put the rest of them the bottom of your library in any order, so it kind of cascades into an equipment. Do you play this in the we only play one equipment, Yes, and it's Behemoth's sledge or the big one that gives plus ten plus ten. And you have an infector that

you exert. Yeah, yes, well you can't exert. There's no infectors that exert. You have to play shitty creatures to make this good. You speak in my language, because all the creatures with exert are not They're not terrible. There's one that gives you an extra combat combat celebrant is a good one. Good one. There's a there's one that's a removal spell. That one's not too bad at four. As a creature is there things that let you exert where the card otherwise doesn't have it? No, No, not

that I'm aware of. I mean, there might be from ammanket. If you know it, let us know in the comments. But I'm not, off the top of my head aware of any cards that just give your creatures exert, because what would the exert be like put a plus one plus one counter on it. Nobody's ever gonna do that. Yeah, well, I suppose if you can air quotes tutor for an equipment, maybe you tutor for like a sun forger, and it's the only equipment in your deck, then

you tutor for instance and sorceries like there's in that regard. It feels a little bit like birthingpod dot creature. Find the thing that tutors for more things and you just do go through the chain. It's probably fine, it's probably al right, Although then you're cut off from playing other equipment in your deck, I suppose, and it's a human night that just gives you card advantage. Maybe you slot this directly into your aoin pre con deck. If you're

looking to upgrade, probably that's what you do. Let's be one of the next scenes that's the Helm's Deep battle scene, right, is that what that was? Yes? And then we're gonna go to This is the Galadriel blows up Dogldore scene. This is my favorite scene because the art is absolutely fantastic. I don't remember Galadriel ever getting into a fight this. This is at the end in the appendices of Lord of the Rings. You mean to tell me it didn't happen in the movie, correct? So this is fake?

This is from the imagination of Wizards of the Coast. Fake news, yes, okay, but it's on the internet, so it's real. Okay, all right, you'll take that exploient. I'll accept that. Sure. So the first card in this scene is Arboreal Alliance, and it makes a big tree folk and when you attack with elves, you populate, so you make another one of those great big tree folk. That's a fine. Oh it's an enchantment though, yeah, enters a battlefield, create an x X big

guy. I actually like cards like this, like things like gut or grime, and like an enchantment where you just have the permanence kind of worthless, but you can pump a bunch of man into it to make a thing. I like stuff like this Yeah, there's that Nissa that's like that too, that like matter, like her loyalty matters. I like stuff like that. Yes, And for the people who are unaware of how this works, they changed the rule around X in the casting cost and ETB triggers because when this

triggers, X actually equals zero again. But they changed how x's work for ETB abilities back a couple sets ago when there was a commander that did this smart So you get a big guy and it goes in your elf deck. So does that mean if you're gonna use like a like a pernicious deed,

is this two or is it twelve? Two? Okay two? But when it's triggering, it's when it's on the stack and you have to counter target spell with manocost x. But when it's in play and it's gonna make another thing, doesn't it, Well, it doesn't make another thing, doesn't make another thing that populates. Yeah, so it looks at the token that you have now, Yeah, glad real light of Vallen or. I really like this art, dude, this art, this card. The thing that this

card cares about. Everything about this card is the Gladriil that we wanted and didn't fricking get will let me name the colors, christen me with Galadriel, I shall be the judge. It is a three to three elf noble not advisor forrick Green, White, blue two has alliance Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, choose one that hasn't been chosen this term. And

can I interrupt you, sir? Sure? Remember that green, no, white, and blue really are really good at blinking, both with spells, and I don't know creatures that enter the battlefield. Yeah, okay, so let's just keep that in mind. Ability one at green, green, green, holy shit. Ability to put a plus one plus one counter on each creature control, like those those elves that you played to get green, green,

green, to make more elves than you. Choose that one last, so they all get bigger, also correct, very good, and the last one is scry to then draw a card. Holy mother asked. This card gives me great henge vibes, it gives me manna, it gives me card advantage, and it gives me a way to win the game. Man if it drew you a card, this would be better than great hendch Rando read all the words on the card. Does it gain your life? It doesn't

gain you life. Doesn't gain your life, but it does draw you a card which I would gladly take that trade after your scry to great hands draws you card. This card gives me great henge vibe. It draws you more than one card. This card is freaking good. It is a good card. It's a very good card. Next one up is rally the Gladrim Galathrium. There's no in there. Yeah, but don't give me this DH makes a sound. D does not make a sound. It makes a D sound.

Tell them Tell that to the Gaelic speakers. I can will actually in Gaelic. It makes a V sound, I think anyways, Galavrim Galaphyrim Galathrium, Rally of the This is blue green two sorcery create a token that's a copy of target creature you control, and it got conspire, which means as you cast this spell, you may tap two untapped creatures you control that share a color with it. When you do, you may copy it. I

like that. So it's a clone. I like it. That's a clone where you tap two guys and clone two guys double clone, double clone, or for and tap two if I find one of these, I will probably put it into my animal deck. This goes in your animal deck. Yes, this is very good. I can clone clones with clones, and I like that I can clone the clones. Oh yeah, there's so many clones I could use in a sentence because I'm using two clones to clone the spell

that clones a clone. Yeah, baby, you're cloning the spell that clones a clone. Yes, man, clone, clone clone. That's right. I like that a lot. Like the word clone has lost all meaning. Next card. Oh, that's like double clone seption because the clone isn't it's not even a thing until it clones something. That's right. That's why I like them, all right, Galadriels dismissal the spell. Oh yeah, those

orcs are having a bad day. That's it's white and an instant. I don't even know what it does, but i'll bet you what gets rid of a creature. Let's let's see what it does. Target creature phases out. If this spell was kicked, each creature target player controls phases out instead, so they leave the battlefield. You treat them as if they didn't exact, and then at the beginning of their controller's next upkeep. They appear back.

They do not re enter the battlefield. They're just back now, yes, and tokens don't disappear, yes like they used to back in my day. Okay, so phase out your blocker attack you, phase out all your blockers attack you. And the kicker is white too. Yes, so it's formana. So it's it's path or wrath depending on what you want to do. Oh, or or it's counterpath or counter wrath. Right, phase out my whole team, sure, fase target creature, Yes, target creature. I

can you go wrath of God? I go phase out my whole team yep. And then they come back and phasing doesn't care about summoning sickness or vice versa, so they come back in and I go wrath me eh fricking die. Ye here everyone punched out that card. I think that card's sneaky good because you can use it offensively or defensively. That's a cool card. You could use it like, oh, attacking me with your like giant Commander or your ten ten flyer or whatever. It phases out. Yeah. No,

not man, that that card's good. I didn't realize how good that card is. I mean, it's no path. But it's good. But it counters your path, but it's not as good as path. If you encounters when somebody's rocking you, you you want to path that creature or not phase it out because you're just gonna get smacked by it again. Next turn Man. But it's good. I'm not saying it's a bad card. Very good

card. Don't like the art on it though, Oh no no, I think that one guy in the background kind of reminds me of Max Crandell. I like it slightly. Yes, me too. The next card is Mists of Laurian. It's a sorcery for blue too, with replicate blue, which means you can copy it when it's on the stack. You blue, you just pay blue, and you can copy it as many times as you pay

Blue. Right correct, Okay, Return target non land permanent and each other non land permanent with the same man of value as that permanent to their owner's hands. This card is crazy. This card is good if if you go like blue, blue and two, you can bounce all their tokens, every token in play. If you go blue blue or yeah, Blue blue two, you go like bounce every token and everything that costs three or two or whatever the thing you want to get and then incidentally it gets all the other

thing. Yeah, you just have to make sure that each other non land permanent. You don't get your own stuff unless you want to get your own stuff again, just like freaking Gladyro's dismissal, you might want to get your own thing, bounce your own stuff to counter arap, get your own Gladril back, and then you cast her again without command tax and then you can take advantage of her ETB triggers again. Sure, why not, brick Man, This card's good. Last card in this particular scene, the fake made

up, super duper scene that was never in Lord of the Rings. Yes, Gladrim brigade. Oh they're brigading. So it's a two to two for Green two with squadron green one. That means you can pay green one to essentially replicate this. This is kicker, but just for guys, and it has other elves you control good plus one plus one, So you go green two green one to squat it. You get two of them. Then for five mana you'd get two three threes that give all your other elves plus two

plus two. Right, if you pay seven, you would get three three threes that give all your other creatures plus three plus three also correct. When does the math become very good? Probably it's seven, right, because then it's kind of like overrun. Yeah. I think it's pretty good at five, honestly five, because it's a perfectly acceptable. At three, it's a perfectly playable, perfectly acceptable card. At five, you've got a discount.

You've played two of the same card on the same card out of your hand for one scout for one less mana than the two cards would cost individually. Yes, Yes, and all your guys get swall Yes. So I think this is a very cool card. It's not exciting, but like it's cool, it's solid, it's very good. You could replace any other elf lord with this. If you have anything says elves you control get plus one.

Yes, you replace it with this. Yes, and this would trigger a plus one on each creature you control from Galadriel, and it would give you green green green to cast more elves. Yeah. Oh man, that frick That Galadriel card is good. Next card. Next. We have two more scenes and not very many minutes, so we're gonna just blast through these ones. What you know what, Hey, I'll do this sometime, because I've

been asked to do it. Sometime, I'll do a Lord of the Rings live stream and we'll talk more in depth about the scenes for people who want that. Okay, okay, but we're gonna just we're gonna knock through the cards and give the a the name Good Card, Bad Card. We're gonna play right now. Oh I love Good Card, Bad Card. What is this scene we're looking at here? What is this ship? This is Battle of the Pelenor Fields where Gandalf comes out and like shoots his like light jerk

off on the on the nasgul guy to make a flyway. Okay, this is Oluran's Searing Light. A Lauran's Searing Light is an instant for Blue, Nope, Frick, red White two. Each opponent exiles a creature with the greatest power among creatures that player controls neat. Each player gets rid of their biggest guy, also spell mastery. If there are two or more instant and or sourcy cards in your graveyard. A Lauran's Searing Light deals damage to each

opponent equal to the power of the creature they exiled. That's a cool one. Yeah, that's gonna get I don't know four, five, six, but randomly it'll get them for twenty. That's a good one. That's a good one. A sorce source squall is a source ree for Blue Blue Boo six. This is my favorite card in the scene, Babe with dell target opponent mills nine. Then that player's grave. Wait, hang on a second. Then you may cast an instant or sorcery spell from that player's graveyard without

pay. It's a man of cost if the spell be put into graveyard exiled instead. So Blue Blue Blue exile six pieces of trash from my graveyard. Mill you for eighteen in bruvac, and then I cast the best thing in your graveyard, regardless of whether I milled it or no. If it's in there, I'm getting it. Ramus echor ancient shield. This isn't a shield, it's a building. Okay, sounds made up, but I'll take it.

It's white three for a legendary artifact. Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, draw card, then create a zero three white wall creature token with defender at the beginning of combat. On your turn, Creatures you control with defender gain exalted until end of turn. That's fricking good. That's a good card just for its first ability. Yeah two spells. Draw card and sure, sure, I have to write a thesis before I can draw card in white, but I'll take it. Yeah, that's that's not bad,

courageous resolve. This is not as good as people think it is, but it's give it a read. Let's do what it is. White two for an instant up to one target creature. You control games, protection from each of your opponents until end of turn. Draw a card and its fate flour If you have five or less life, you can't lose the game this turn. You can't lose the game this turn, and your opponents can't win the game this turn. Oh, I can't lose the game. Twice, it

says that twice. If you, oh, you can't lose life this turn. You can't lose life this turn. Can't lose life or the game and your opponents can't win. That's now. Remember if you if you can't pay the life or lose the life, you can't pay the life, right right, So you can't like neckro potence, your whole frickin' everything. Yes, that's one thing. Second thing, you're not gonna be at five life as often as you think. Unless you already are putting yourself at risk, you're

probably already dead. I'm gonna tell you right now. If you're at five, you're already dead. So I don't know. This card's fine. It'll see playing the Lord of the Rings theme decks, they're there. Gandalf of the Secret Fire is a what is this three four avatar wizard for colorless blue,

red, white, legendary avatar wizard. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand during an opponent's turn, exile that card with three time counters on it instead of putting it into your graveyard as it resolves. Then if the exiled card doesn't have suspended game and suspend, this is fine. This is fine. This is a couple things. It's Jess Guy suspend time counters, which is already a deck that you're adding white to right instead

of joyra It's this now and you get white. Sure, but this is also a really clever way to tie everybody that came for Lord of the Rings, tie them into Doctor Who, where they very much will care about time counters. Timey Whimy is a deck. Remember food in el Drain is very much a lead from food in Hobbitland. Now we've got time counters in Doctor

Who tying together with Lord of the Rings. So the universe is beyond and the regular products are mingling to keep people engaged and say, hey, this goes in my time deck, I'm gonna buy and spend more money, more money. Last card in the scene is Fell Beasts Shriek, which is a

sorcery for blue and red. Each opponent chooses a creature they controlled, tap and gold the chosen creature, and has spliced onto instant or sorcery blue red, colorless two and splice means whenever you cast an instance of sorcery, you can play these splice onto cost, reveal the card from your hand, and then the spell that you spliced it onto gains that effect. Can you imagine that you don't have to? Did you ever imagine that we would see splice

back? Can you imagine this ever being spliced onto anything? Ever? Each opponent chooses a creature they control, tap and goad the chosen creatures. I like that card, it's cool, but are how often you're gonna splice that onto something? Cost four to splice it, But you're goading three creatures. It's pretty good. I can go three creatures, but playing a land you know what, you know what deck? This is going to go into the frickin' the is It deck that is gonna play all of the ops and the

ponders and the considers and all of the the one man of ritual. It's gonna be that is It deck, and you're gonna just go to everybody and gold gold gold, sure, sucky. Last thing. We're gonna go extra super duper fast for this one. Sorry, Joe, because it's my favorite ones. We have to talk about it. Yeah, we'll talk about it. Joe's okay. If we go a couple minutes over and for again the people who want it, I'll talk about it again on the live stream.

Call Forth. The Tempest is a sorcery for Red Red Red fives. You better win the game. Cascade, Cascade, We're on our way. Call Forth. The Tempest deals damage to each creature your opponent's control equal to the total man of value of the other spells you've cast this turn. Can you imagine if you have a repercussion with this card, you're gonna do like sixty

damage to people. That's pretty good. Can you imagine cascading into something that has cascade and then having call forth the Tempest see all of those cards. Can you imagine paying one man and just playing a blasphemous act. Oh that's pretty good. Yeah, this one feels win. It's cool again, it's very very cool. Yes, and the cascade cascade very very cool. This but this services the cascade deck players, right, and I am one of

those players. So this is my favorite card from this scene. My favorite card from this scene is not this next card. Oh, but I will read it anyway. I got you there, I got there. Nasghoul Battle Mace is an equipment for five that equips for three. Equipped creature has menace, death touch and annihilator one and because there has to be more, whenever an opponent sacrifices a non token creature, put that card onto the battlefield under

your control unless that player pays three life. So this is like El Drasi Conscription Light along with suky turgrid ah no equipment, yes, I guess trid or itipy trays. It's like the little El Drasi that could. Yeah, yes, it's trying hard. El Drazzi Mace eight MANA it's probably good. It's fine. It turns your brash daunter into an itipy trays brash dunder is so good. That's good, that's good. It's your favorite one. Nope, Which King Sky Scourge is a five to five for seven, so it's

got my attention. Red black five flying. Whenever you attack with one or more wraiths, exile the top X cards of your library, or X is the total power. You may play one of those cards this turn and it has undying. That would be my favorite. If it wasn't red, which is a which is a sentence you will never hear me say again. If it was just black or blue, because that's where my Nasghuls live in black and blue. Adding red to them doesn't assist me in any way. No,

but that card's car it's very powerful. Nothing wrong with it. It's a good card. Oh good art too. Hey how the tail of the fell Beast kind of frames him? Yep, Yeah, like I was, hand goes just off the screen. So what's he doing? Yeah, what's he doing? Oh he's playing that little old Drozi that could make So there we go. Neat morder of the March? Is this your favorite one?

Certainly is not morar on the march. You heard me, Yes, Red Black three Sorcery, exile a creature card from your graveyard and create a token that's a copy of it. It gains haste until then to turn exile and at the beginning of the next end step and it has storm that's kind of like graveyard clone. Yeahorder graveyard clone. That's that's gains haste. It's pretty cool. That's kind of like threatened, but from the graveyard. Threatened dead

guy, it's a freaking storm man. Ritual, ritual, ritual. Steal all your freaking dead guys, yep, or my own dead guys. Yeah, no, it's just our guys, just my own deck. Well that's fine because I'll just put guys that I want dead in my graveyard. Just get like a freaking raz cath and a bunch of ring races, ring rates and sourn play it in obecca and just keep them all. Man, that should go on my suron deck. I leave him in the graveyard. Get

them back pretty good, kick your ass with them. Here's my favorite one fell Beast of Mortal, Fell Beast of mortor is it Drake Beast three three with flying for Black Black two and devour one. Whenever a fell beast of Mordor enters the battlefield or attacks target, opponent loses x life and you gain x life, where x is the number of plus one plus one counters on

it. I like it because I can turn all the slugs that I'm making with my talks Real into one giant bro that will then gain me life to keep me alive because everybody's attacking me because I'm playing talks rel This is kind of like Gary, but I got to sacrifice my guys instead of having Gary and this both care about having lots of guys. Yes, this guy just eats them yep, and then kind of does the same thing. I like

this guy. This is a cool card. It freakin' flies. Look at the art in the background and also his exposed like eye sockets in his skull where the reins of the witch king r are in his exposed eye sockets. But then he's got eyes underneath to some body horror right there. Yeah, that's some fricking weird stuff. I bet you self conscious about that in high school. Probably. Yeah. Well it's okay, last card and we're out

of here. Is meanest more googled Dark Fortress legendary land enters the battlefield tapped so far, it's a piece of shit. Taps for black, that's fine. Black three tap put a shadow counter on target creature for as long as that creature has a shadow counter on it. It's a wraith in addition to its other types. That goes inraith dot deck. Sure, right, if you got like nine or more wraiths or all nine nines, it's pretty good. It's fine. That card is not very powerful though, No, that

is probably the least powerful card in that scene. Yes, but goes in the one deck. It services the one deck. It's fine. Yeah, it's good in that deck. And I'm okay with not every card being a powerhouse that I must run. And this is one of those things we're talking at beers at EH and M last night where it's like if you've there's certain lands where if you have it, just just play it. Put it in the deck, right, you've got one, just like, throw it in

there, like the shink of the blood soaked keep. It gives a legendary creature first strike. If you have it in your binder, just play it. Yeah, there's no reason not to play it. This is not that No, it doesn't do anything unless you care about wraiths exactly. Yeah, so I would maybe put it in my sour On deck because I just have incidental wraiths in there. It's not a raith deck. I would put it in my talks rel deck because I play a bunch of raiths in there.

Yeah, that's where the wraiths are. That's right. Is that where your Talksheral deck is now? Yep? Oh neat Yeah, card of the week, talks Reil. Those are the cards we wanted to talk about this week. We're gonna get at Doctor Who over the next couple of weeks. Sometime before Halloween.
