What is

0:02

up everybody?

0:05

Welcome to

0:08

another episode

0:11

of Limited

0:14

Resources. This

0:16

episode number

0:19

700. and 98. My

0:21

name is Marshall. I'm one of your

0:23

limited resources and joining me on the

0:25

line all the way from Denver, Colorado.

0:28

It's Louise, Scott Vargas, Louise. We've got

0:30

rares and mythic rares, including a whole

0:32

bunch of gold cards today. I'm stoked.

0:34

And you know why? Because I've gotten my

0:36

hands on Turkey at this point. I've had

0:38

the early access event. I bought a box

0:41

of physical packs and me and me and

0:43

BK were like cracking packs to do draft

0:45

picks and like build draft picks and like

0:47

build sealed seal-sealed seal-sealed seal-up

0:49

pulls. So it's just like a perfect

0:51

storm because perfect dragonstorm if you

0:53

will because the Spotlight series is

0:56

this coming weekend You know it's

0:58

a big tournament here in Denver big

1:00

seal tournament like a Grand Prix Coverage

1:02

is gonna follow me and read throughout

1:04

the tournament. You know it's gonna be

1:06

GP redoop version two And this is

1:08

the only tournament I'm gonna go to

1:10

this year because I'm not really traveling,

1:12

but it turns out I would play

1:14

no matter what obviously if this was

1:16

the worst set in the past ten

1:19

years I would be like great Tarkier

1:21

is like right at my alley, like

1:23

I love cons, I love the flavor,

1:25

I love the three color draft format.

1:27

I've liked what I've seen out of

1:29

the clans and the gameplay, like let's

1:31

just say I'll be doing a lot

1:34

of harmonizing in the drafts, you know,

1:36

and I think that this is set

1:38

up to be a really nice one. So

1:40

yes, of course, it's a little too

1:42

early to tell if this is going

1:44

to be in, you know, quite a

1:47

bit against that. Just... It's got a lot

1:49

of the fun stuff that goes into making good

1:51

draft sets and I'm really stoked to bring you

1:53

guys this plus I've gotten a chance to play

1:55

with a lot of these cards now so you

1:57

know I jammed I jammed like seven drafts and

1:59

then I watched a couple more so that's

2:01

I would say a pretty good heads

2:04

up and. Well, let's get to the

2:06

interview, shall we? Yeah, this is going

2:08

to be great. And Luis needs this.

2:10

He's going to be playing in that

2:12

event. And, you know, everybody else there

2:14

too, such a quick turnaround time from

2:16

when the set came out to when

2:18

that event happens, which I mean, I

2:20

think it advantages people like Luis a

2:23

lot, but it's really cool to get

2:25

to see that as well. That's this

2:27

weekend. So, you know, this show's going

2:29

up on a Monday and just on

2:31

the weekend, that'll just on the weekend.

2:33

That'll be weekend. That'll be weekend. That'll

2:35

be weekend. That'll be the weekend. That'll

2:37

be up on the weekend. That'll be

2:40

on the weekend. That'll be on the

2:42

weekend. That'll be on the weekend. Before

2:44

we get to the set review, I

2:46

want to say thank you to everybody

2:48

2:50

2:52

3:01

demand. Patreon is where we've been since

3:03

really it came out and we really

3:05

appreciate everybody who supports us over there.

3:07

We also want to say thank you

3:09

to Ultimate Guard, Ultimate, or. you know,

3:11

deckbox or maybe like some of their

3:13

sleeves. They are the best. They are

3:15

robust products that last for a long

3:18

time. They look really good and they

3:20

feel really nice in your hand as

3:22

well. You can tell that these were

3:24

designed with that full complete. picture in

3:26

mind where it's like yes it has

3:28

to look cool yes it has to

3:30

do its job well protect your cards

3:32

but also human beings are going to

3:35

be handling these products so it has

3:37

to feel nice it has to be

3:39

premium and that's exactly what it is

3:41

you can check out their full line

3:43

of products at ultimate guard.com and you

3:45

you can pick them up at your

3:47

favorite local game store or your favorite

3:49

online retailer thank you. The side winders

3:51

my favorite ultimate guard deckbox and also

3:54

one of my favorite verbal maneuvers So,

3:56

you know, it really lines up nicely

3:58

Who would you say in your life

4:00

has been the victim of the most

4:02

side winders from you? I know I

4:04

think I know who it is I

4:06

think you know, it's tough. I think

4:08

I think it's actually a pretty close

4:10

between Paul and BK at this point.

4:13

Paul and BK. I was going to

4:15

say BK. Yeah. Well recently it's been

4:17

BK because I spend more time with

4:19

him. Obviously before it was Paul because

4:21

I spent more time with him. Right.

4:23

But you know I would say that

4:25

the thing is it's just so easy.

4:27

There's just so many things that you

4:29

could use as ammunition. You give a

4:32

monkey like a loaded shotgun. What are

4:34

you expecting to do with it? I'm

4:36

assuming you're the monkey with a loaded

4:38

shotgun in this analogy Yeah, but those

4:40

are seriously though. Those are sweet sweet

4:42

tech boxes and All other products are

4:44

really good. Make sure you check them

4:46

out. Okay, so we're going to jump

4:49

into the rarest and mythics. But before

4:51

we do, we're going to go over

4:53

a grading scale, particularly because we're going

4:55

to put a grade on every card,

4:57

but also because it does change quite

4:59

a bit between the commons and Commons

5:01

review and the rare and mythic rare

5:03

review. So we're going to use an

5:05

A through F grading scale where A

5:08

is the bombs, game winners, cards that

5:10

are good in many situations, especially when

5:12

Unsurprisingly, you're going to see a lot

5:14

of haze. The haze are the rare

5:16

and mythic reviews kind of where the

5:18

haze hang out. The bees are cars

5:20

that actively pull you towards our colors.

5:22

In this case, they pull you towards

5:24

specific clan in the case of like

5:27

a three-color card. And even in a

5:29

two-color card, they pull you towards one

5:31

of those two clans. We're talking like

5:33

premium removal, good efficient, haunt, haunt the

5:35

network. C's are playable. The pawns have

5:37

limited. They're pretty interchangeable. They're a step

5:39

above filler. Like, you know, they're not

5:41

necessarily like, I'm unhappy when I run

5:44

this. Those are the D's. But there

5:46

are the cards that you're not that

5:48

excited to run. So we're talking cards

5:50

like Keen Buccineer or Crash and Burn,

5:52

just your average limited card. You'll see

5:54

definitely plenty of those in this review,

5:56

though, of course, the grades tend to

5:58

cluster higher, doesn't mean what it used

6:00

to be. Like 15 years ago, a

6:03

D or an F would be really

6:05

bad cards. F still are. Now, D's

6:07

are just cards that are slightly too

6:09

bad. Cards like Goblin Survey or Deer

6:11

Seek or Serpent, which totally find cards

6:13

just a little bit below the cards

6:15

that are a little too expensive, a

6:17

little too much setup cost, a little

6:19

bit too narrow, you know, and these

6:22

are cards that if you run more

6:24

than a couple of these, you sounds

6:26

like your draft didn't go well. Fs

6:28

are cards that are unplayable in virtually

6:30

all scenarios. We're talking cards that cost

6:32

10 plus mana or refer to planes

6:34

walkers, cards like unstoppable plan or full

6:36

throttle that just don't do anything in

6:39

limited. And then we have two subgrades.

6:41

We have sideboard cards that you wouldn't

6:43

typically main deck or like a D

6:45

level card in the main deck, but

6:47

can be up to like a B

6:49

or even an A, though that's rare,

6:51

out of the sideboard cards like broken

6:53

wings, kind of the archety. Rare and

6:55

Mythics tend to go. And then lastly

6:58

we have build around. These are cards

7:00

that on their own don't really do

7:02

much or anything, but when well supported

7:04

can be among the best cards in

7:06

your deck, a card you would in

7:08

fact build around. Cards like push the

7:10

limit and it's going to see plenty

7:12

of these I hope in the rare

7:14

mythic review because rare mythic build-arounds are

7:17

among the most fun. Yeah, and this

7:19

is also where they really do get

7:21

to push that limit, right? Okay so

7:23

let's jump in we're gonna start with

7:25

white we rotate which color we start

7:27

on and we're back to white here

7:29

our first card up is called voice

7:31

of victory it's one in a white

7:33

for a one three human barred at

7:36

rare it has mobilized two and if

7:38

if you remember that's when it attacks

7:40

you get two tapped and attacking one

7:42

one red warrior creature tokens that get

7:44

sacrificed at the beginning next end step

7:46

and it has another static ability your

7:48

opponents can't cast spells during your turn

7:50

Well, first of all, this card is

7:53

very strong. I'm actually gonna be trying

7:55

this one in my vintage cube. The

7:57

text of your opponent can't cast spells

7:59

during your turn means you can't get

8:01

ambushed by a flash creature. They can't

8:03

have a combat trick. They can't have

8:05

a counter-spill. They can't even leave me

8:07

up to try to remove something. Like,

8:09

you know, a common player, you have

8:12

a removal spill, they have a three-three

8:14

out. You're like, well, I could kill

8:16

that, but why don't I take three

8:18

or see if they play anything before

8:20

attacking or any of that? With what's

8:22

victory out? Or see if they play

8:24

anything before attacking or any of that.

8:26

With what's victory out? They're going to

8:28

try to try to try to remove.

8:31

Late game, imagine a board that's like

8:33

pretty stalled out, a lot of cards

8:35

in both players hands, a lot of

8:37

creatures in board. You kick things off

8:39

by casting this, tapping two of your

8:41

seven lands. Your opponent now has to

8:43

like unload whatever they want or just

8:45

you know, forever hold their piece and

8:48

you get to make attacks, even risky

8:50

ones without any fear. So great card,

8:52

obviously gets much better if you're using

8:54

the mobilize, that's a lot of the

8:56

power of this card. But I would

8:58

give voice of victory a B plus.

9:00

Secondly, three toughness. Really good inflection point

9:02

for a two man of card. A

9:04

lot of the removal does two damage

9:07

and a lot of the creatures have

9:09

two power. So this thing could realistically

9:11

turn sideways multiple times before they even

9:13

have a blocker for it. And that's

9:15

that's going to mean that you're going

9:17

to get some mileage even just straight

9:19

up damage wise out of it, let

9:21

alone if you're taking advantage of the

9:23

mobilized tokens in other ways. Next card

9:26

up is Onafenza unyielding lineage. This is

9:28

two in a white for a two

9:30

two legendary spirit soldier at rare. It's

9:32

got flash and first strike and it

9:34

says whenever a another non token creature

9:36

you control dies Onafenza endures two which

9:38

is put two plus and plus encounters

9:40

on it or make a two two

9:43

spirit token. There's a lot to like

9:45

here. Two and a white for a

9:47

two two flash first strike would already

9:49

be pretty good and they would never

9:51

even print that at like common or

9:53

probably not even uncommon just because it's

9:55

like oh I attack with my three

9:57

two I guess I'm getting snapped off

9:59

right and then the indoor ability means

10:02

you're just gonna. to get value. Often

10:04

you're going to cast this as like

10:06

a 4-4 at the end of their

10:08

turn of combat happened because putting two

10:10

counters on this is better than in

10:12

most creatures because it has first strike.

10:14

So it kind of gets additional value

10:16

from the counters, but it's also very

10:18

common that you're going to want to

10:21

spread around the counters. But it's also

10:23

very common that you're going to want

10:25

to spread around the love and just

10:27

endure into spirits. Because you're going to

10:29

lose with this. Do you think that

10:31

like is a reasonable line of play

10:33

that like you block with a creature

10:35

to do a trade or maybe even

10:37

a chump block and then your opponent

10:40

passes priority and you see okay before

10:42

damage I'm just going to play on

10:44

a fence here and then your creature

10:46

you know assuming your creature is going

10:48

to. die like either by trading or

10:50

jumping or whatever and then you get

10:52

your your two two or your two

10:54

counters. Oh sorry sorry that's what I

10:57

meant not end of turn you'll play

10:59

at mid-combat right to see the trigger

11:01

yeah so like a pretty common scenario

11:03

is you have like a three-three out

11:05

they attack with their three-two you're like

11:07

okay block before damage cast anafenza and

11:09

then now they have a brief window

11:11

to kill anafenza but they're not going

11:13

to be that many times when they

11:16

and that can happen that can happen

11:18

so Like you, it's already okay because

11:20

of the block that you mentioned, but

11:22

one trigger and you got a really

11:24

good card. Next is Clarion Conqueror. This

11:26

is two and a white for a

11:28

3-3 dragon. It's got flying, it's rare,

11:30

and it says activated ability of artifacts,

11:32

creatures, and planes walkers can't be activated.

11:35

So I've now seen this in play

11:37

a couple times and I've never seen

11:39

the text do anything besides the fact

11:41

that it's a three-3-3-3 flying dragon, which

11:43

already gives it. I think like about

11:45

a B plus as well. Yeah. It's

11:47

funny. We've given three B pluses here,

11:49

but it's because none of these cards

11:52

quite crack the A level. Like these

11:54

aren't like, if I open one of

11:56

these cards, I can't imagine taking a

11:58

different card, right? Right. You can very

12:00

easily imagine taking an uncommon over one

12:02

of these cards, but these are all

12:04

very good. Yes, I would say that.

12:06

They also all fit the description of

12:08

pull you into the colors. Like you're

12:11

like, oh, I don't have a second

12:13

color. I got an on offensive. Sure,

12:15

yeah, let's do it. Yeah, so I

12:17

would say clearing concurs a B plus.

12:19

You just draft it and play it

12:21

as a three minute, three, three flying,

12:23

dragon type is overall upside. So that's

12:25

great too. And I guess every now

12:27

and then, you know, they could have

12:30

a planes walk or they have an

12:32

elspeth in their deck and they're in

12:34

their deck and you, and you, and

12:36

you, and you have this and you

12:38

have this and you have this and

12:40

you have this and you have this

12:42

and you have this and you have

12:44

this and you have this and you

12:47

have this and you have this and

12:49

you have this and it. And it.

12:51

And it like, and you have this

12:53

and it like, and it like, and

12:55

it like, and it like, and it's

12:57

like, and it's like, and you have,

12:59

and you More likely to hurt your

13:01

opponent than you because you know about

13:03

the text and so you'll kind of

13:06

play no manner that it doesn't get

13:08

you But it's mostly irrelevant. I don't

13:10

think it's it's super big a big

13:12

part of the card So I like

13:14

B plus for clearing conquer, but uh

13:16

the next one is actually a preview

13:18

card I got for a TCG player

13:20

and it was good then and it's

13:22

good now sage of the skies is

13:25

two and a white for a human

13:27

monk at rare It's a to two

13:29

three it's got flying and lifel and

13:31

lifel Whoa. So if you play this

13:33

as the second or more, it doesn't

13:35

have to be exactly second spell, you

13:37

get three mana for two, two, three

13:39

flying life links. That's crazy. That's an

13:42

A. That's just a flat A. Like,

13:44

when you cast Age of the Sky's,

13:46

first of all, counter spells don't even

13:48

stop this. The trigger ability just happens?

13:50

You'll get a two, three. And technically

13:52

they can counter both of the copies,

13:54

but that's really not going to happen.

13:56

So. Even against a counter you get

13:58

a two three against removal you still

14:01

are left with a two three if

14:03

they don't kill your either of these

14:05

you have two two three flying lifelinks

14:07

there's no way you're losing that race

14:09

and it's just two really great creatures

14:11

for one plus in a disaster scenario

14:13

of casting it for three mana and

14:15

not getting a token a two three

14:17

flying lifelink is like a B that's

14:20

just a good card straight up I

14:22

like a for sage of the skies

14:24

of the skies yeah you don't even

14:26

have to do anything special like you

14:28

don't If I'm pack three and I'm

14:30

the slowest odds on deck in the

14:32

world and I open this, I'm gonna

14:34

take it and I'm gonna cast it

14:36

on turn five or six alongside another

14:39

spell. And it's gonna be fantastic, even

14:41

at that point. Yeah, and you're so

14:43

priced into waiting, right? It's hard not

14:45

to. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it does

14:47

beg the question, if it was turn

14:49

three and you had no other play.

14:51

Like let's say you have a two

14:53

drop and this in your hand, but

14:56

the two drop isn't one that you're

14:58

running out on this on turn two.

15:00

It's like a, let's say it's a

15:02

removal spell or something like that. Like

15:04

are you waiting? I would say most

15:06

of the time you are. It's so

15:08

much better to get the copy. You're

15:10

on the draw, you didn't have a

15:12

two drop in your hand, but let's

15:15

say you do have one that you

15:17

could play later, but you didn't have

15:19

one like you said, like that you

15:21

could play, or let's say it's two

15:23

minutes, like a just guy monument or

15:25

something. And you're on the draw and

15:27

your Marto opponent played a two drop

15:29

and a three drop and now it's

15:31

your turn three and you're in another

15:34

place. Yeah, you probably got to just

15:36

play this. You're just going to pretty

15:38

great length not to pretty great length

15:40

not to do that. Awesome. A first

15:42

age of the sky is next is

15:44

united at battlefront. This is three in

15:46

a white for a sorcery at rare.

15:48

It says look at the top seven

15:51

cards of your library put up to

15:53

two non-creature non-land permanent cards with man-of-value

15:55

three or less from among them onto

15:57

the battlefield put the rest on the

15:59

bottom of your library in a random

16:01

order. Let's just call enough and move

16:03

on. There's just nothing. It would be

16:05

rare that you would even have two

16:07

targets at all. Yes. She's back. Elspeth

16:10

Storm Slayer. Doesn't she die? I'm going

16:12

to say without having read the entire

16:14

text. A plus. A plus. It is,

16:16

it's five manna Elspeth, five loyalty. So

16:18

A plus. They couldn't have screwed this

16:20

up. Let's see what happens. This is

16:22

legendary planeswalker Elspeth at Mythic with a

16:24

static ability. If one or more tokens

16:26

would be created under your control. Why

16:29

is that many of those tokens are

16:31

created instead? Geez, they just tack that

16:33

on now, huh? Again, five loyalty, three

16:35

activated abilities, plus one. Create a one-one

16:37

white soldier creature token. Z. Second ability,

16:39

zero loyalty, put a plus one plus

16:41

one counter on each creature you control,

16:43

those creatures gain flying until your next

16:46

turn, and minus three, destroy target creature

16:48

and opponent controls with man-of-value three or

16:50

greater. Well, you nailed it, Louise. This

16:52

is one of the best cards in

16:54

the set. If not, maybe the little

16:56

or best. Let's just talk to it.

16:58

First of all. Playing this for five

17:00

plus one getting two tokens. You have

17:02

a six loyalty plane walker and two

17:05

blockers aren't really hard to kill from

17:07

that spot. Then you have a zero

17:09

which gives all your creatures plus on

17:11

plus one and flying and it's a

17:13

counter so it's even permanent. You're just

17:15

going to kill them most of the

17:17

time when you activate this. In fact,

17:19

some of the times you're just going

17:21

to cast this play that used the

17:24

zero and they're just dead It's an

17:26

overrun for five manna that gives all

17:28

your creatures possible stone flying and then

17:30

sticks around in the form of an

17:32

elspeth. If five loyalty elspeth is still

17:34

bad But wait, wait, what if they've

17:36

got a big dragon, oh, okay, then

17:38

you can use the third mode and

17:40

you can blow up their big flyer?

17:43

So it's it's it's don't. Well, those

17:45

aren't getting by the soldiers most likely.

17:47

Totally! Or if they are, let's say

17:49

they have a two man, a two,

17:51

two flyer, just plus one this, they

17:53

attack it from six loyalty to four,

17:55

it doesn't constrain its abilities. And then

17:57

the next turn zero it and they

18:00

can't attack. This is just a plus

18:02

for else. What a ridiculous card. There's

18:04

not even any challenge. This stops everything.

18:06

This gets better if you have more

18:08

creatures. You should want to put this

18:10

into creature deck. The static works with

18:12

mobilize though it just really doesn't really

18:14

doesn't matter. If you're like a creatureless

18:16

control deck, this is still very good.

18:19

You're not getting as much value out

18:21

of the second mode. Honestly, the second

18:23

mode is probably like the most powerful

18:25

one in a lot of games, but

18:27

still. Elsebeth, A plus, you don't have

18:29

to worry about it. You just draft

18:31

it. Other mythic for white is called

18:33

Smile at Death. It is three white

18:35

white for an enchantment enchantment. graveyard to

18:38

the battlefield, put a plus one plus

18:40

one counter on each of those creatures.

18:42

So this is a really interesting one.

18:44

I saw this in a pack once,

18:46

but I didn't take it because I

18:48

was like green, black, splash, white. It

18:50

didn't really make sense to take. If

18:52

you have a lot of creatures that

18:55

this can bring back, it's a pretty

18:57

strong card. Imagine you and your opponent

18:59

just. trade-off stuff the first couple turns

19:01

and then on turn five they play

19:03

this with just one two two in

19:05

their graveyard you're in your graveyard you're

19:07

like okay well they didn't they spent

19:09

five minutes did nothing but then on

19:11

their next turn they're getting back a

19:14

two two now it's a three and

19:16

if I kill any other creatures they

19:18

just come back and that's not even

19:20

close to the optimal scenario the optimal

19:22

scenario is you cast this with four

19:24

creatures in your graveyard and it's just

19:26

gonna be an overwhelming advantage so I

19:28

think this gets the build-around tag because

19:30

creature with two power or less is

19:33

not a gimmy. You're going to have

19:35

some naturally, but you're not going to

19:37

have, you probably want like seven or

19:39

eight if you can. What you're looking

19:41

for is things like four man at

19:43

creatures with two power are kind of

19:45

nice because you get a little more

19:47

bang for your buck. But yeah, I

19:50

would think it's like a build-around card

19:52

if you can build around it. Yeah,

19:54

I mean, did they forget to put

19:56

a finality counter on these things on

19:58

these things? Like if your opponent has

20:00

a 7-7 on the ground, you just

20:02

block and you just keep getting your

20:04

creature back over and over, like they

20:06

can just never get through it? Yeah,

20:09

I mean, that is. That is definitely

20:11

the case. Yeah, because obviously your brain

20:13

goes to like get back to, get

20:15

back to, but like even just getting

20:17

back one or two feels like it

20:19

would be good. And you know, if

20:21

you have any ETB, your opponent can't

20:23

do that much. The only downside, right,

20:25

right, right, is that this is that

20:28

this is five manna, five manna, nothing,

20:30

nothing, like go. Right, it does take

20:32

that turn. Yeah. It's not even just

20:34

five minutes ago, it's also sometimes you

20:36

could draw this and have nothing to

20:38

agree with you that it gets back.

20:40

They did intentionally make it fairly narrow,

20:42

I would say. But like you said,

20:44

from a build around perspective, you don't

20:47

just build around based on the cards

20:49

that you put into your deck, you

20:51

also build around based on how you

20:53

play out. your cards, right? You're not

20:55

like trying to race somebody when you've

20:57

got smile at death in your hand.

20:59

You're like trade, trade, chump, trade, smile

21:01

at death, I can take this hit

21:04

and now all of a sudden I've

21:06

got this kind of unassailable long-term advantage.

21:08

Cool card. That's it for white. Elspeth.

21:10

Not very many cards because of all

21:12

the gold cards. We're going to get

21:14

to it. We're going to get to

21:16

a lot of gold cards. Next is

21:18

stillness in motion. This is blue. We're

21:20

moving to blue. Stillness in motion is

21:23

one in a blue for an enchantment

21:25

at rare. It says at the beginning

21:27

of your upkeep, mill three cards. Yikes.

21:29

Then if your library has no cards

21:31

in it, exile this enchantment and put

21:33

five cards from your graveyard on top

21:35

of your library in any order. I

21:37

can't imagine wanting to do this. Would

21:39

you believe me if I told you

21:42

I've already cast this card? I would

21:44

definitely believe you. This is an extremely

21:46

Scott Vargasian card. So what this does,

21:48

and the reason I think it could

21:50

be something, this is definitely a builder

21:52

on and probably closer to like, it's

21:54

honestly closer to an F than any

21:56

other rating. So I'm not out here

21:59

saying this is a great card, but

22:01

I had this in a like blue

22:03

black. deck splashing green that had a

22:05

bunch of omen cards because the joke

22:07

here is once you get to know

22:09

cards you exile this put your five

22:11

best cards on top of your deck

22:13

and then if you have own omen

22:15

even interested your graveyard to put back

22:18

you can just not deck because you

22:20

can cast the omen every turn. I

22:22

had the rare dragon that gives minus

22:24

x minus x to all non-dragons as

22:26

an omen so I could just wrath

22:28

over and over again. That is hilarious.

22:30

I wonder if there's a lot of

22:32

those scenarios that pop up with this

22:34

where you can kind of get yourself

22:37

out of it. Or you can kill

22:39

them with just whatever creatures if you

22:41

have. But to make still listen motion

22:43

work, I would want a decent, some

22:45

omen cards to make sure you don't

22:47

get decked, some really good resilient finishers

22:49

to make sure you can kill them.

22:51

Because let's say you have the like

22:54

search for a land omen. Yes, you

22:56

won't get deck, but if you're not

22:58

progressing. But if you're not progressing your

23:00

game. You need that and a deck

23:02

that cares about self mill kind of

23:04

by itself because then this card does

23:06

something into kind of beginning middle of

23:08

the game Okay all that together maybe

23:10

you got something probably not good, but

23:13

obviously I wanted to try it Of

23:15

course so closer to an F than

23:17

anything if you just probably viewed it

23:19

at that you might just be better

23:21

off But if you're Creative, let's say,

23:23

you know, you can get a build

23:25

around C minus or something out of

23:27

stillness in motion. That's pretty cool. Look,

23:29

here's the good news. If you open

23:32

a pack and you see this, no

23:34

one's gonna take it unless someone's rare

23:36

drafting. So you'll get it back and

23:38

then you'll be able to do something

23:40

with it then. There you go. And

23:42

it does have screenshot equity too. Next

23:44

is TIGOM Master opportunist. This is one

23:46

in a blue for a two-two legendary

23:48

human monk at Mythic and it has

23:51

Flurry whenever you cast your second spell

23:53

each turn copy it then exile the

23:55

spell you cast with four time counters

23:57

on it if it Doesn't have suspend

23:59

it gains suspend which I will read

24:01

here because I'm assuming this is the

24:03

only instance of suspend in the set

24:05

it says at the beginning of the

24:08

owner of its owner's upkeep, they remove

24:10

a time counter. When the last is

24:12

removed, they may play it without paying

24:14

its manic cost. If it's a creature,

24:16

it has haste. So you copy it

24:18

and you get to resolve the copy,

24:20

but this one kind of goes into

24:22

the bank for a while and you

24:24

don't get to resolve that one. Basically,

24:27

when you play your second spell, you

24:29

get the same thing that you were

24:31

going to get already, and then in

24:33

four turns, you just get a bonus

24:35

spell. Okay. And then they start chaining

24:37

where let's say you have, you know,

24:39

a tie game spell exiled, then it

24:41

comes in off suspend. Then it's really

24:43

easy to cast your second spell because

24:46

you've already cast your first one. Oh,

24:48

because it does still count as casting

24:50

it even off of suspend. That's great.

24:52

Yeah. And it's, you know, it's a,

24:54

it is a two, two for two

24:56

with that even if slow does kind

24:58

of draw you extra cards. I mean,

25:00

I mean, Oh, that's cool. It's not

25:03

just copying like instance and sorceries. Like

25:05

spell can be kind of ambiguous. It's

25:07

part of the reason I don't love

25:09

their terminology. Spell sounds like instance sorcery

25:11

and often will use it like that.

25:13

But in this case, no, it really

25:15

just means anything. Right. When we say

25:17

the spells deck, we usually mean instance

25:19

and sorceries. But then prowess also blurs

25:22

that line because it's just non-creature and

25:24

then this just means spell as in

25:26

by the book. This seems like a

25:28

card that if my opponent played on

25:30

turn two, I would feel a real

25:32

sense of urgency about killing. And that's

25:34

a compliment to TIGOM. So I like

25:36

that. Imagine they have this in play

25:38

and then on turn four, they just

25:41

play two, two drops. There are two

25:43

men, a two, two is draw, that

25:45

drew them an extra card, plus the

25:47

man at a cast. Like you don't

25:49

have to spend the man on it.

25:51

It is slow, right? It just comes

25:53

down. For time counters counters. It's pretty

25:55

free is kind of my point. It's

25:58

kind of my point. Like that you're

26:00

kind of my point. I'm a pretty

26:02

big fan. I would just give it

26:04

a B. I think Thai gam is

26:06

good. I think if you see Thai

26:08

gam early, you're pretty, it's a good

26:10

reason to take it, you know, going

26:12

to blue. I agree. I like that.

26:14

You don't get that much. Look, if

26:17

this cost three man animals or one

26:19

one, then yeah, it wouldn't be that

26:21

good because you're putting so much of

26:23

the power into, can I get the

26:25

trigger? When you're playing a two-man-a-to-to-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two in

26:27

general, you know, you know. But it's

26:29

still like it mostly paid for itself

26:31

so you don't have to stress too

26:33

much about how much you're getting out

26:36

of it. So I like Tagam master

26:38

opportunist. Oh, another note by the way,

26:40

if you exile one of the omen

26:42

cards, so let's say you go turn

26:44

to Tagam, master, opportunist, oh, another note

26:46

by the way, if you exile one

26:48

of the omen cards, you get a

26:50

copy of the Lela land, sure. So

26:52

that's that's a kind of nice little

26:55

little bit of extra value with this

26:57

one. Okay. Yeah. Okay. That is cool.

26:59

All right. B for TIGAM master opportunist.

27:01

That's a cool card too. These. These

27:03

designs are neat. Next is Dragonologist. This

27:05

is two in a blue for a

27:07

one three rare human wizard. It says,

27:09

when this creature enters, look at the

27:12

top six cards of your library. You

27:14

may reveal an instant sorcery or dragon

27:16

card from among them and put it

27:18

into your hand. Put the rest on

27:20

the bottom in a random order. And

27:22

it also has a static ability untapped

27:24

dragons you control have hex proof. Don't

27:26

forget if you're playing paper. Nice. I

27:28

mean that that feels like it's a,

27:31

you know, six cards to see those

27:33

three different card types, you're going to

27:35

hit a lot. And if three men

27:37

on one three is a real piece

27:39

of material, plus it protects your dragons,

27:41

which is really nice. So like you

27:43

can, they have to go through this

27:45

first or your attack. One of the

27:47

things I like small note about this

27:50

set, they have a lot more conditional

27:52

hex proof, and I think that plays

27:54

pretty well. Okay. Like, because they have

27:56

like. This has hex proof due to

27:58

the Kerra-A-K-6-5 or whatever. This is hex

28:00

proof until it's dealt damage. This is

28:02

untapped dragons. You have hex proof. Like,

28:04

I think that's actually really legit to

28:07

be able to put hex proof on

28:09

cards, then it falls off eventually. It's

28:11

not quite as oppressive as just, this

28:13

has hex proof forever, you know. Right.

28:15

Yeah, I mean, I would assume that

28:17

in a normal build with blue that

28:19

you're a very very high chance to

28:21

hit with the dragonologist I mean, like

28:23

to the point that I wouldn't put

28:26

a strong build around tag on or

28:28

anything like that. And if you are

28:30

in that scenario. B minus. Yeah, I

28:32

would say I would just say B.

28:34

This is just gonna be a really

28:36

strong. One thing that takes away from

28:38

a little bit is the SubSig appraiser,

28:40

the common two one for three that

28:42

lets you, you know, you know, draw

28:45

a draw a draw a card. If

28:47

you get a bunch of those, then

28:49

you don't really need to get this

28:51

at quite the same level of urgency.

28:53

But still, I think that the dragonologist

28:55

is pretty good. Yeah, nice guard. Next

28:57

is winter night stories. This is two

28:59

in a blue for a sorcery. It's

29:02

rare. It says. draw three cards and

29:04

do it again. Like. If you drew

29:06

this one card, can you imagine flooding

29:08

out? You can lose a game where

29:10

you draw this to getting beaten down,

29:12

definitely, or they play a 6-6 flyer,

29:14

you can't answer, sure. But in a

29:16

nutrition game where you're getting to cast

29:18

spells and they're getting to cast spells,

29:21

doesn't this make you basically immune to

29:23

flooding to flooding? Doesn't this make you

29:25

basically immune to flooding out? And I've

29:27

had this in two different decks. free-ish

29:29

value. Yeah, you self-milled this card. I

29:31

mean, yeah, can you cast the the

29:33

two men awayfare and you mill you

29:35

mill this? Okay, like you just milled

29:37

an ancestral like you see so many

29:40

cards. Honestly, I like a minus for

29:42

winter night stories because I feel like

29:44

this just one card puts you in

29:46

such a good position in the card

29:48

race. And I think that I think

29:50

this format is going to have a

29:52

lot of games where being able to

29:54

draw cards at this rate is going

29:57

to just, you're going to have time

29:59

to use all those cards. You're going

30:01

to get to use them and you're

30:03

going to get to beat your opponent

30:05

with them. Okay, wow. And do you

30:07

also think that this is a format

30:09

that finding like certain key cards is

30:11

going to have a big impact versus,

30:13

you know, decks that are a little

30:16

flatter, you know, with like, there's like

30:18

those peaks like, like, like, like, oh,

30:20

I hit my alspeth, or whatever, or

30:22

whatever, or whatever, G, G, G, G,

30:24

G, G, G, G, G, G, G,

30:26

G, G, G, G, G, Yeah, I

30:28

think that, I mean, that's true. Every

30:30

format, obviously, the better cards you have

30:32

in your deck, the more true that

30:35

becomes. But I do think that this

30:37

format's gonna have some games that lend

30:39

themselves to that sort of play. I

30:41

agree. I mean, we've got dragons and

30:43

triple color gold cards. like there has

30:45

to be some like real. There's some

30:47

pretty powerful stuff going on there. This

30:49

format is not not short on power.

30:51

I'll go B plus on winter night

30:54

stories, but you've talked me up. I

30:56

was going to give it a B.

30:58

So that's that's I mean, yeah. Anyway,

31:00

next is Naga fleshcrafter. This is three.

31:02

It says you may have this creature

31:04

enter as a copy of nice any

31:06

creature on the battlefield. And it has

31:08

renewed. You can pay two in a

31:11

blue and exile it from your graveyard

31:13

to put a plus one plus one

31:15

counter on target non-legiary creature you control.

31:17

Each other creature you control becomes a

31:19

copy of that creature until end of

31:21

turn. And you can activate that only

31:23

at sorcery speed. Cool. Oh, more than

31:25

cool. This card is just basically unbeatable

31:27

in any sort of board stall. And

31:30

it starts out as clone. It started

31:32

as you get to pay for real

31:34

clone. Wow. Because it's not just your

31:36

side of the board. A lot of

31:38

the clones they make are only yours.

31:40

This one is not. It's anyone's. And

31:42

that is just absurd. So I think

31:44

Naga Flushcrafter is a. I think that

31:46

you'll take this card and you'll just

31:49

get huge benefits. Because look, if they

31:51

have the best creature at least you're

31:53

tied and you get the trigger ETBs,

31:55

all that stuff, and then. If you

31:57

have the best creature, well now I

31:59

have two copies of the best creature,

32:01

that works pretty well. And look, there's

32:03

some creatures that copying a second one

32:06

isn't that great, whether it's a legend

32:08

or maybe a utility creature or something.

32:10

But most of the time, casting this

32:12

is gonna put you in a pretty

32:14

good position. And then when you renew

32:16

it later, you're just killed up most

32:18

of the time. I had a funny

32:20

play with this that you can make,

32:22

and I think it's gonna come up

32:25

a lot. I cast it, chose nothing,

32:27

chose nothing, it, it, chose nothing, it,

32:29

it, it, it, it, it, it, chose

32:31

nothing. It went straight to the graved,

32:33

it, it, chose nothing. It went straight

32:35

to the graved, it, it, it, it,

32:37

chose nothing. It went straight, it, chose

32:39

nothing. It went straight, it, it, it,

32:41

it, it, it, it, it went straight,

32:44

it went straight, it, it went straight,

32:46

it, it And that happened in like

32:48

the second game I ever had with

32:50

the card. So I have to imagine

32:52

that's a pretty common play. Because if

32:54

you choose not to copy anything, it's

32:56

a zero and it dies. That's crazy.

32:58

That's a sweet play. If you self-mill

33:01

it, it's great. If you discard it,

33:03

it's good. A for nago flesh. and

33:05

try to make sure you have enough

33:07

creatures in your deck to, you know,

33:09

get good use out of it. But

33:11

yeah, it's an absurd card. Straight up

33:13

clone with upside is, that's a lot.

33:15

A lot of upside. So I don't

33:17

even know that the clone is the

33:20

most powerful part of the car. Oh,

33:22

really. Wow. Yeah. I mean, imagine you

33:24

have a three-three flyer out and you

33:26

just turn all your creatures into three-three

33:28

flyers. Yeah. Good game. This is three

33:30

blue blue for a five nine turtle

33:32

at rare. It's got ward two. That's

33:34

its shell. And it says whenever this

33:36

creature attacks, put three stun counters on

33:39

it and draw three cards. And remember

33:41

the stun counters are if it were

33:43

to become untapped instead you remove a

33:45

stun counter and keep it tapped. And

33:47

then it says whenever you cast a

33:49

turtle spell, untap this creature. Okay, whatever

33:51

on that part, I'm assuming there's not

33:53

a lot of turtles in the set.

33:55

But this is kind of crazy, right?

33:58

Five man of five nine means you're

34:00

just, and it has word two also

34:02

means you're just rarely gonna get attacked

34:04

on the ground to turn after you

34:06

play it. And then you get to

34:08

slam. It's huge. I mean, five nine

34:10

is weird stat line. I don't know

34:12

if I've ever seen that, but it's

34:15

good, huge toughness and enough power to

34:17

actually. I think so. Okay. Yeah, if

34:19

that's the case, then yeah. But, but,

34:21

but, but you freaking ancestral? Like yes,

34:23

it knocks itself out forever, but you

34:25

just get to draw three cards and

34:27

slam with a five nine? Yeah, first

34:29

of all, there's not, there's not, there's

34:31

not many turtles in the set, there's

34:34

still only one. Okay, okay. But the

34:36

way I see this card and I

34:38

had this in a deck too. You

34:40

cast this, like you said, they probably

34:42

can't kill it, very hard to kill

34:44

a nine toughness ward creature. You attack,

34:46

if they block and trade for it,

34:48

then you're golden, because you're very happy

34:50

with... that outcome. If they don't, they

34:53

take five, you draw three cards. And

34:55

it's not like the turtle's gone. Yes,

34:57

it's locked down for three more turns,

34:59

three stun counter turns, really kind of

35:01

like fourth turns. But if you just

35:03

get to use those three cards and

35:05

then you just have to survive, you

35:07

don't have to win the game. Eventually

35:10

you survive. Can you imagine getting into

35:12

a text twice? And doesn't again. Yeah.

35:14

It's just. I like this better. This

35:16

is now my officially my favorite five

35:18

nine creature of all time creature of

35:20

all time. You didn't even know a

35:22

second ago you didn't even know there

35:24

were any others. It's not a big

35:26

upgrade for the storm shell, but it's

35:29

there. This is amazing. I love this

35:31

card. Yeah, this card is super super

35:33

super sweet. It looks like an A

35:35

by the way. Like I don't think

35:37

it's an A. I think it's an

35:39

A. I think it's like a B

35:41

plus because it does cost a lot

35:43

of mana and if you're not in

35:45

a position to attack, it's quite bad.

35:48

How can you not be in a

35:50

position to turn this sideways? Also, how

35:52

is it quite bad? It's a five

35:54

man of five nine with Ward 2.

35:56

That's like the best, I mean, okay,

35:58

there's some better, but I mean, that's

36:00

a premium blocker. Sometimes you cast this

36:02

and then they have a bounce spell

36:05

and they pay the word, like you

36:07

are paying five manna. Like, there are

36:09

a game for I don't think this

36:11

gets you out of it. You're not

36:13

going to pass it very often. Okay,

36:15

I'll say A minus for Ambling Storm

36:17

Shell, and I want to give it

36:19

an A plus, because look at M.

36:21

Look how cool he is! Terts McGurts!

36:24

Last blue card is Morang River Regent.

36:26

This is four blue-blue for a six-seven

36:28

rare dragon. It's got flying and when

36:30

this creature enters, return up to two

36:32

other target non-land permanence to their owner's

36:34

hands. Wow! Double Manamore? Nice! This is

36:36

an A-plus. Six-seven flying bounced two of

36:38

their things. That's crazy! You can bounce

36:40

your own stuff. And there's... a lot

36:43

of pretty strong ETBs that I think

36:45

it's worth considering doing that. How about

36:47

ambling storm shell go attack with it

36:49

play mering river region next turn return

36:51

it to my hand we're doing it

36:53

Louise the dream sure just return there

36:55

stuff it also by the way has

36:57

omen it's got coil and catch for

36:59

three and a blue it's an instant

37:02

and it says draw three cards then

37:04

discard a card Dang! Wow! Morang River

37:06

region. This is a regular rare, too.

37:08

This is a non-mythic. Yeah, this is

37:10

one of the best parts. Did Blue

37:12

One Mythic? They did. Why? There probably

37:14

is different numbers of like the... Oh,

37:16

it's probably because of Elspeth or something.

37:19

Yeah, yeah. Okay. That looks like an

37:21

eight plus. It isn't a plus. It's

37:23

I think very easily an a plus.

37:25

I also think that like if you

37:27

are in a spot to To cast

37:29

the coil and catch part of this

37:31

you often are just gonna want to

37:33

you think so. And here's where here's

37:35

where Oman is really cool because it

37:38

has Oman you don't really feel bad

37:40

about casting that and then shuffling it

37:42

in. That's true. You're also getting through

37:44

a whole bunch of your cards, right?

37:46

I mean, you get to draw three

37:48

and discard, then you shuffle it in,

37:50

your library is like not that big

37:52

at that point. Right, like, unfortunately you

37:54

don't get to shuffle it until, yeah,

37:57

like you said, until after you draw

37:59

the cards, but like it's still just,

38:01

I think that, I think that the,

38:03

oh, the coin and catch part, it

38:05

was funny, I was drafting on early

38:07

access and passing to, to, to the

38:09

ham. Oh yeah. And he was wondering

38:11

why I passed a river region, it's

38:14

because I opened a pack with two

38:16

of them. Oh! And we both got

38:18

one. Great deal. He's probably going like...

38:20

This guy. Oh, that's incredible. Okay, so

38:22

A plus from Ring River, you know,

38:24

the reason- And don't be afraid to

38:26

cast the coil and catch part. If

38:28

you need to do that, you need

38:30

to do that. It's totally fine. You're

38:33

probably going to be able to buy

38:35

yourself. Even just like logically, knowing that

38:37

you're going to get it back is

38:39

awesome. Any time somebody cast coil and

38:41

catch, it's just like a flex, it's

38:43

like I'm good. Yeah, I mean, you

38:45

know, the cards that make it up

38:47

to A plus are the ones that

38:49

can either completely turn around or- you

38:52

know, re-stabilize a game that you were

38:54

quite behind in, or even turning around

38:56

in your favor. And this is one

38:58

of the rare cards that can actually

39:00

do that. I can't believe this is

39:02

just a rare too. Wow. Yeah. Okay,

39:04

that'll move us to black. Next card

39:06

is rot curse rakshasa. This is one

39:09

in a black for a five, five

39:11

demon with trample. It's mythic rare. There's

39:13

got to be more to this. It's

39:15

got decayed. It says this creature can't

39:17

block. When it. And then it has

39:19

renew for black black X and exile

39:21

this card from your graveyard and it

39:23

says put a decayed counter on each

39:25

of X target creatures and you can

39:28

only activate this at sorcery speed. So

39:30

it means that they get one more

39:32

attack with their creature and then it

39:34

gets sacrificed. Probably that's even less important

39:36

than the other part. Decayed creatures can't

39:38

block. Oh, it just means they can't

39:40

block it. You just go like, all

39:42

right. I mean, look at this, you

39:44

play this, you get there for five,

39:47

they're not gonna block it. Right. Now

39:49

they're at five less, and you just

39:51

have, all your creatures can't block this

39:53

turn. Well, forever, actually. Like, you can't

39:55

block, and if they attack you back,

39:57

their creatures just die. So, like, what

39:59

are you supposed to do about this?

40:01

Wow. And then just slam them. not

40:03

even in like a massive hurry though

40:06

obviously it can be good to do

40:08

it whenever. The cat even just doing

40:10

it for two is awesome. Does this

40:12

require aggression on your part? I wouldn't

40:14

say that it requires aggression because it's

40:16

so good at doing its thing like

40:18

it's spotting you five points of damage

40:20

so even if you're like a mid-range

40:23

deck or even on slightly controlling side

40:25

if you play this and you hit

40:27

them for five and then you have

40:29

two creatures out like you've already gotten

40:31

a good lead but even then as

40:33

a defensive card this is worse. But

40:35

imagine you decay their three three and

40:37

their four four like now they can't

40:39

attack you with those no like you

40:42

they get one hit that's it yeah

40:44

they're then they're kind of forced to

40:46

and there's no way out right like

40:48

if you play this on turn two

40:50

like even if they kill it it's

40:52

like you're maybe even happier if they

40:54

use a removal spell you're like sure

40:56

like sure like yeah you're not gonna

40:58

feel bad about right like that's not

41:01

a bad outcome for you and you

41:03

still get to do the renew which

41:05

is even more powerful than the five

41:07

damage or whatever. Wow, that's a nasty

41:09

card. Rock, Curse, Rock, Shoss, that is

41:11

mean stuff. Like that is an unkind

41:13

magic card right there, hostile. I mean,

41:15

it forces your opponent to fight and

41:18

they may not be well set up

41:20

for it or they just die and

41:22

or they just die, I should say.

41:24

What would you give it? Like this

41:26

is a weird card. It's just a

41:28

nay. It's a really good part. There's

41:30

just not really a scenario like where

41:32

it's really hard for it to end

41:34

up where this card doesn't do some

41:37

pretty good stuff for you. Yeah, I

41:39

mean, I guess the scenario right would

41:41

be that you are behind. It doesn't

41:43

lock and if they're, you know, I

41:45

mean, maybe it's still okay because if

41:47

they can't just kill you with their

41:49

board exactly, then like it still does

41:51

have a huge effect because their creatures

41:53

are basically all dead. That's

41:56

interesting. If you if you are at

41:58

high high. enough life total that their

42:00

attacks just aren't very strong. Right, but

42:02

what if they're, yeah, exactly. So there's

42:04

that threshold. Like if you're just behind

42:06

in a race, then the rock curse

42:08

rakshas is kind of. That's the worst

42:10

part. An agri-deck beating you down, it

42:12

could be bad. But even then, if

42:14

you rock curse like a two-two flyer

42:16

and like a two-three ground creature, or

42:18

like imagine like the one-three mobilized creatures.

42:20

Mm-hmm. You take one last hit from

42:22

them and then they go away. Right.

42:24

There's not really any losing with this

42:27

card. I want to gain life with

42:29

it. Sure. I want to gain 20

42:31

life and then just, you know, renew

42:33

their whole squad and be like, you

42:35

don't have enough damage. You end up

42:37

looking at this card and you're like,

42:39

wow, this looks like it'd be really

42:41

good and agro. Is it good in

42:43

control? And it's like, yeah, no, it

42:45

really is still, it's just a great

42:47

card. Okay, I'm going to go A

42:49

minus on Rott, Rott, Kurs Rochausa, just

42:51

for those scenarios where you are behind

42:53

in it, and it kind of doesn't

42:55

do anything. I'm going to go A.

42:57

I think this is just going to

42:59

be one of the better cards. I'm

43:01

going to go A. I think this

43:03

is just going to be one of

43:05

the better cards. I mean. I think

43:07

it. I think it. I think it's

43:09

an A. I think this, I think

43:12

this, I think this, I think this,

43:14

it's a, it's just, it's, it's, it's,

43:16

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

43:18

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

43:20

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it

43:22

Bullied me down on it. Okay, nago

43:24

fleshcrafter I think is comparable to the

43:26

rock curves It's a it's better. I'd

43:28

rather have fleshcrafter I would take the

43:30

Rachasa over winter night stories pick one

43:32

pack one Rachasa is really good. Okay.

43:34

Yeah, I mean that is extremely powerful.

43:36

Here's the three things it combines. It's

43:38

a two-minute deal five because they're probably

43:40

just taking five And if they use

43:42

a removal spill it doesn't stop the

43:44

other parts of the cards. So like

43:46

that part is kind of like that

43:48

part is kind of like that kind

43:50

of like that part is kind of

43:52

separate. So like that kind of separate.

43:54

So like that part is kind of

43:57

separate. So like that part is kind

43:59

of separate. Two men of deal five

44:01

with your creatures can't block anymore, not

44:03

even this term, just anymore. If you

44:05

put a decade counter onto the fender,

44:07

that card is really bad. And your

44:09

creatures can only attack once. Like the

44:11

combination of those three things is really,

44:13

really powerful. Yeah, it's just you only

44:15

get to do it for this one

44:17

window on, you know, like the creatures

44:19

they cast after they can do stuff.

44:21

Right? So like the question becomes, like

44:23

if they're beating you down, you kind

44:25

of want to do it as soon

44:27

as possible, right? Because you want to

44:29

limit how many more attacks they get

44:31

with their squad. So maybe in two

44:33

turns later you do it and you're

44:35

like, okay, your three best creatures can

44:37

only attack me once more. So they're

44:39

like, okay, send them all in and

44:42

you're like, I'll block one, take the

44:44

others, whatever, your life total gets lower,

44:46

but not bad, but now anything they

44:48

do gets lower, but not, but not,

44:50

but not You know what I mean?

44:52

So like again, if I'm facing like

44:54

an assertive opponent, this card feels like

44:56

kind of middle ground to me. What's

44:58

that? I didn't hear what you said.

45:00

It doesn't kill all their creatures forever,

45:02

but it kills a lot of their

45:04

creatures at very cheap cost. Yeah. Okay,

45:06

well, I'm still gonna go A minus

45:08

on rock. I mean, we're obviously splitting

45:10

hairs here, but this card is, that

45:12

is a gnarly magic card. interesting card

45:14

to play. Definitely. It's very powerful, so

45:16

you won't, even if you mess it

45:18

up, it'll still be pretty good. But

45:20

Rockers, Rock Shossa, compared to something like

45:22

Murray River region, like the Rock Shoss,

45:24

I think, actually there's a lot of

45:27

judgment on how you use it. The

45:29

River region, mostly you cast it. You

45:31

cast either side at any point. Next

45:33

is Sadisi Regent of the Meyer. This

45:35

is one in a black for a

45:37

one-three legendary legendary, zombie, zombie, snake, warlock,

45:39

warlock at rare lock, at rare, and

45:41

it has an activated ability. And it

45:43

has an activated ability. tap it, sacrifice

45:45

a creature you control with man-of-value X

45:47

other than CEDEC, and return target creature

45:49

card with man-of-value X plus 1 from

45:51

your graveyard to the battlefield at sorcery

45:53

speed. So it's kind of like a

45:55

weird birthing pod recurring nightmare? Yeah. And

45:57

it has to be exactly that. If

45:59

you want to get a four drop

46:01

back, you have to sack a three

46:03

drop. I mean, this is a powerful

46:05

card. Like when you have this in

46:07

play. You know, they use a removal

46:09

spell on your four drop and it's

46:12

like, well, any three drop can get

46:14

it back and it's... especially if it's

46:16

like one with like an ETB that

46:18

can be pretty nice. Yeah. I don't

46:20

know that I would like build necessarily

46:22

too far around to optimize this, but

46:24

it's a two-man a one-through with a

46:26

strong ability. I would give it a

46:28

B. I think Cese is probably just

46:30

gonna be kind of hanging out and

46:32

then when it's he's probably just gonna

46:34

be kind of hanging out and then

46:36

when it's good, he's probably just gonna

46:38

be kind of hanging out and then

46:40

when it's just hanging out. He's probably

46:42

just going to be just going to

46:44

be just going to be just going

46:46

to be just going to be just

46:48

going to be just going to be

46:50

47:09

be just going to be just going

47:11

to be just going to be just

47:13

going to be on Sadisi region of

47:15

the Meyer. Next is Sinkole Surveyor. This

47:17

is one in a black for a

47:19

one three flying bird scout at rare.

47:21

It says whenever this creature attacks, you

47:23

lose one life and this creature endures

47:25

one. So it either gets a plus

47:27

one plus one counter or makes a

47:29

one one token on the ground. Pretty

47:31

nice. I mean, a lot of the

47:33

time you're going to want to use

47:35

the the indoor ability to give this

47:37

the counter, which is. Different than most

47:40

of the indoor cards. Making this before

47:42

the 35 is really good. Like this

47:44

wears plus one plus one counters quite

47:46

well. But you're not really losing out

47:48

either way. Attacking and making a one

47:50

one is also really good. Do you

47:52

think there's any like, like how are

47:54

people going to describe creating from a

47:56

bird a one one white token down

47:58

on the ground? Like I will produce

48:00

a one one white token. Like in

48:02

terms of flavor wise? Yeah, like what

48:04

words are they used to describe this

48:06

action? I'm a drop a one one

48:08

white token. Right, exactly. But I like

48:10

what I'm seeing here a lot. It's

48:12

certainly worth the one life, right? To

48:14

be able, you know, to create a

48:16

little. It does matter. It does matter.

48:18

It does. But usually you can trade

48:20

the one one token in for more

48:22

than that just even on a chum

48:25

block, you know. But imagine you cast

48:27

this card on turn 5 in your

48:29

11 life. It's like not quite as

48:31

a free role casting on turn 2

48:33

is great though. I would give single

48:35

surveyor a B. It's not. the best

48:37

top deck in the world, but it's

48:39

a very good card early. And even

48:41

later, it's still a pretty solid card.

48:43

You're not paying that much for it.

48:45

Yeah, I think I would give it

48:47

a B plus. Yeah, I was going

48:49

to say, I was going to say,

48:51

I guess, I would give this a

48:53

B plus and I'd give this a

48:55

Dc, a B minus because these cards

48:57

are not that close, because these cards

48:59

are not that close to Dc, a

49:01

B minus, because these cards are not

49:03

that are not that are not that

49:05

big, like, like, big, big, big, big,

49:07

big, big, big, big, big, big, big,

49:10

big, big, big, big, big, big, big,

49:12

big, big, big, big, big, big, big,

49:14

big, big, big, big, big, big, big,

49:16

big, big, big, big, big, big, big,

49:18

big, big, big, big, big, big, big,

49:20

big, big, big All right, next is

49:22

Avengers of the Fallen. This is two

49:24

in a black for a two four

49:26

human warrior at rare. It's got death

49:28

touch and it has mobilize X where

49:30

X is the number of creature cards

49:32

in your graveyard. Man, a two four

49:34

death touch for three is good. Yeah,

49:36

that's, isn't that like a, like a

49:38

B minus level already in terms of

49:40

stats? It is. And then it just

49:42

scales with your graveyard growing. I mean,

49:44

and it, you know. It has a

49:46

pretty nasty ceiling if it's like six

49:48

or something wild, right? Like I had

49:50

this in a saltide act that never

49:52

got any mobilize out of it. And

49:55

it was great. We got a two

49:57

touches like, Rick. How are they getting

49:59

by that card? And attacking with it,

50:01

you know, if it makes three tokens

50:03

and you're attacking with it, they're going

50:05

to have to double block the avenger

50:07

and trade for two creatures and take

50:09

three damage. And if you have a

50:11

trick, it's a disaster. I'm a pretty

50:13

big Avenger of the Fallen fan. I

50:15

will say that. Yeah, this card looks

50:17

really solid to me. I would give

50:19

it a B. Yeah. It just doesn't

50:21

ask that much of you and it

50:23

has a decent upside. Next is Carcy

50:25

Revenent. This is one Black Black for

50:27

a 3-3 vampire at Rare. Wow, it

50:29

has flying, death touch, and lifelink. And

50:31

it has renewed exile two and a

50:33

black exiles card from your graveyard put

50:35

a flying counter death touch counter and

50:38

a life link counter on target creature

50:40

at sorcery speed. Dang! This card is

50:42

obviously just a. I mean, three minutes,

50:44

three, three, three, three, four, three, four,

50:46

death, stretch, life link is amazing. And

50:48

then later in the game, you're just

50:50

like, all, I guess I'll power up,

50:52

you know, my other thing here. Just

50:54

anything with three or more power from

50:56

that point is awesome. Yeah, there's really

50:58

just no losing with the Carson Revenet.

51:00

So I would like. A minus A?

51:02

I mean, this is amazing. Like, it's

51:04

just really good. And then if you

51:06

have a 4-4 and play later and

51:08

you're like, all right, I guess I'll

51:10

go ahead and and pay three men

51:12

and then attack you for four lifelink

51:14

in the air. Yeah, totally. And you

51:16

can hold this over your opponent's head

51:18

because they are going to kill the

51:20

Carson Revenen if they can. And then

51:23

you can just kind of wait for

51:25

a good window to fire off the

51:27

renew on something huge and something huge.

51:29

And even just, you know, you know,

51:31

you know, you know, You get one

51:33

big hit in with a life linker

51:35

and you will because it has flying.

51:37

You know, that can really swing the

51:39

way a game goes where it's at

51:41

that point, maybe it if they kill

51:43

it, you're like, yeah, sure, you know.

51:45

Yeah, I like A for Carson Revenen.

51:47

I mean, it just has, it's really

51:49

efficient. You know, yeah. Next is the

51:51

SibSig ceremony. This is black. Black, black.

51:53

This is going to be difficult. It's

51:55

a legendary enchantment at rare. It says

51:57

creature spells you cast, cost too less

51:59

to cast, and whenever a creature you

52:01

control enters, if you cast it, destroy

52:03

that creature, then create a two-two black,

52:05

zombie, druid creature token. Wait, what? Yeah,

52:08

you don't have to worry about it.

52:10

This is like some weird constructed card.

52:12

It's like heartless something type deal where

52:14

you're like your creatures are cheaper, but

52:16

they all die and become zombies. Okay,

52:18

so there's not put this card in

52:20

your deck. Just enough. It kills your

52:22

own stuff. Okay, last black card is

52:24

scavenger regent. It's three and a black

52:26

for a four four dragon at rare.

52:28

It's got flying and ward discard a

52:30

card, which is interesting because it's not

52:32

manna, but also like. Sometimes they don't

52:34

have one, you know, so like, they're

52:36

gonna have to save up, you know,

52:38

a removal smell plus. card to discard.

52:40

It also has a sorcery speed omen

52:42

called exude toxin for black black X

52:44

where each non-dragon creature gets minus X

52:46

minus X and tone of turn. Wow.

52:48

Yeah, this is the card I was

52:50

talking about where the non-dragon part is.

52:53

not flavor text. You know, there are

52:55

some sets where obviously it would be.

52:57

This is very much not flavor text

52:59

in this set, but it's still, you

53:01

know, it's going to kill a lot

53:03

of the things you care about killing.

53:05

And then a four men, a four,

53:07

four flying ward is obviously very good.

53:09

So the overall combo here is quite

53:11

strong. Yeah, that's a great card. I

53:13

would give it an A. Yeah, this

53:15

is an easy A like it's a

53:17

wrath plus a big flyer and if

53:19

you cast the wrath you eventually shuffle

53:21

it back or you shuffle it back

53:23

and eventually draw it again later The

53:25

downside is that it can't kill other

53:27

dragons, but you'll have to live with

53:29

that I guess Yeah, you just have

53:31

to work around it That moves us

53:33

to red our first red card is

53:35

called stadium headliner. It is Red for

53:38

a one one goblin warrior at rare.

53:40

It's got mobilize one and it has

53:42

an activated ability one in a red

53:44

sacrifice this creature. It deals damage equal

53:46

to the number of creatures you control

53:48

to target creature. Ooh, that's nice. Obviously,

53:50

this is a bit of a constructed

53:52

plant. I mean, that's just, you know,

53:54

really cheap creatures like this, you have

53:56

an eye towards it. But it's great.

53:58

One man, a one, one, one, one

54:00

is one is pretty solid. It's obviously

54:02

not just... You can't just attack for

54:04

free because often this won't be able

54:06

to attack. But by the time this

54:08

has kind of gotten blocked down, you

54:10

just get to sack it and kill

54:12

one of their creatures often for three

54:14

or four damage pretty easily. So you

54:16

can also just play this as a

54:18

three minute removal spell later in the

54:20

game, doesn't have to attack, doesn't have

54:23

to be something, you know, it can

54:25

be summoning sick, all that stuff. points

54:27

of damage probably for and then trade

54:29

it for another create card later you

54:31

just cast it like a mold and

54:33

exhale. That's cool. Fine card. Plus a

54:35

creature removal spell is easy to recur

54:37

in some in some color combinations. So

54:39

like Mardu might be able to get

54:41

this back. Imagine this with that enchantment.

54:43

Yeah. That is sick. You're just going

54:45

to win the game if you have

54:47

that. Totally. You just get a little

54:49

machine back every turn. Yeah. Yeah, totally.

54:51

And all of this for one manna.

54:53

Right? I mean, that's a lot. You're

54:55

barely paying for it. What would you

54:57

want to give it grade wise? Oh,

54:59

did I lose you for a second?

55:01

A B? A B? Okay, stadium headliner

55:03

gets a B. Next is Corey Steel

55:06

Cutter. This is one in a red

55:08

for an artifact equipment. It's rare. It

55:10

says equip creature gets plus one plus

55:12

one and has trample and haste. And

55:14

it says it has flurry, whenever you

55:16

cast your second spellage turned, create a

55:18

one, one, white monk creature token with

55:20

prowess, and you may attach this equipment

55:22

to it. And the equip cost ends

55:24

up being one in a red. Yeah,

55:26

fantastic card. I mean, two mana for

55:28

an equipment that gives plus and plus

55:30

one trampled haste with equip two is

55:32

not very good. Like you wouldn't, you

55:34

wouldn't really think twice about this, but

55:36

this is just going to make free

55:38

monk. Most of the turns in a

55:40

good flurry deck or even like half

55:42

the turns and then equip the monk

55:44

so now the monk is now a

55:46

two two prowess trample haste can attack

55:48

right away if you have more spells

55:51

you get to pump it like I

55:53

If you put this in like a

55:55

teamer deck that's based on harmonize and

55:57

ramp it might not work very well

55:59

and you wouldn't you wouldn't prioritize it

56:01

you probably don't even drafted at that

56:03

point or you'd cut it from that

56:05

point or you'd cut it from a

56:07

This card seems awesome. So yeah, I

56:09

would give the steel cutter an A

56:11

minus. I think that it's, if you're

56:13

up on a place on turn two,

56:15

you just kind of feel like you're

56:17

under a lot of pressure. They're going

56:19

to make. If they make two months

56:21

in a game and then have this

56:23

thing lying around, that's pretty good. Yeah,

56:25

there's also a lot of the cheaper

56:27

privacy creatures that would benefit a lot

56:29

from equip to and then it gets

56:31

haste and trample and plus like that's,

56:33

you know, any of the double strike

56:36

stuff or whatever really likes to see

56:38

this card to. I'll say B plus

56:40

for Corey Steel Cutter, that's a problem.

56:42

That card's really. Yeah, I'll go B

56:44

plus sounds good to me. Dragon ascendant

56:46

is next. It's one in a red

56:48

for a two to legendary human druid

56:50

at rare. It says when Sarkon enters,

56:52

you may behold a dragon if you

56:54

do create a treasure token. And it

56:56

says whenever a dragon you control enters,

56:58

put a plus one plus one counter

57:00

on Sarkon and tell enough turn. Sarkon

57:02

becomes a dragon in addition to its

57:04

other types and gains flying. Yeah, this

57:06

card is quite good. I think Sarkon

57:08

is... Really low downside two minute to

57:10

two and the outside is very strong.

57:12

It's not hard to behold a dragon

57:14

and two minute to two that makes

57:16

a treasure is great and then when

57:18

the turn you play that dragon this

57:21

hits in the air for probably like

57:23

four or five damage depending on how

57:25

big the dragon is and then later

57:27

it can also just keep doing that

57:29

if you have more dragons. Like you're

57:31

not really missing out or anything here

57:33

like. No. In a deck with zero

57:35

dragons, obviously this is just a trade-up

57:37

two-two for two. You're not gonna heavily

57:39

prioritize it, but that's just not most

57:41

of the decks. And even with like

57:43

two dragons, this is still a good

57:45

card. I don't think Sarcan's like a

57:47

busted card, but I think I would

57:49

give Sarcan just like a B. It's

57:51

a real strong card. I mean, you

57:53

need a dragon or two in your

57:55

deck to make it work, but otherwise

57:57

it does. Works really well. Next is

57:59

terse light shatter. This is two in

58:01

a red for a three three legendary

58:03

ork wizard at rare. It's got haste

58:06

and when it enters discard up to

58:08

two cards, then draw that many cards.

58:10

Wow, that's a lot. And then whenever

58:12

it attacks, if there are seven or

58:14

more cards. in your graveyard, exile a

58:16

card at random from your graveyard, you

58:18

may play that card this turn. Cool.

58:20

Yeah, a very neat card. That's a

58:22

really cool card. How much do you

58:24

value that discard up to two cards

58:26

than draw that many cards part? Because

58:28

you get that just whenever it enters,

58:30

like you're just getting that. Yeah, I

58:32

would definitely value that highly. Like getting

58:34

to. Getting to filter out your two

58:36

worst cards, put a card in the

58:38

graveyard that you want in your graveyard,

58:40

kill, you know, discard some lands if

58:42

you've got lands. Like that's pretty good.

58:44

And I think that the fact that

58:46

it comes on a three three haste

58:48

is a pretty good deal too. Plus

58:51

the actual trigger is quite strong. Yeah,

58:53

I like that. I would give terse.

58:55

I'll probably give it a B. At

58:57

least yeah B plus maybe B maybe

58:59

B plus yeah B plus if you

59:01

could if you're good at filling your

59:03

graveyard this card I think it's going

59:05

to be really good. Yeah, definitely and

59:07

you know, obviously it works towards that

59:09

goal B plus for terse light chatter

59:11

next is magnetic Hellkite. We've got some

59:13

dragony and here to our red cards.

59:15

This is two red red for a

59:17

dragon. It's rare. It is a four

59:19

five with flying. That's a nice sweet

59:21

spot. It says when this creature enters,

59:23

destroy target non-basic land. An opponent controls

59:25

its controller searches their library for a

59:27

basic land card, puts it on the

59:29

battlefield, tapped with a stun counter on

59:31

it, then shuffles. So that thing won't

59:34

untapped during the next untapped step, basically.

59:36

How relevant is that? You know hitting

59:38

their triland and downgrading it is that

59:40

something that we're Excited about I mean,

59:42

I don't need much like four man

59:44

a four five flying you kind of

59:46

had me already, but is that extra

59:48

bit of text anything to that we

59:50

care about? Well, it's It is because

59:52

of the stun counter because it means

59:54

if they have a non basic you're

59:56

you're you're putting them at one fewer

59:58

land next turn no matter what and

1:00:00

that that is a pretty big game

1:00:02

like that itself makes me pretty interested

1:00:04

in this car. Well that and the

1:00:06

four man a four five part obviously

1:00:08

you know if you add those things

1:00:10

together then you have a really good

1:00:12

deal because imagine if you play this

1:00:14

on turn four and you'd lock down

1:00:16

effectively one of their lands for a

1:00:19

turn like you're you're gonna end up

1:00:21

in a spot where they you know

1:00:23

they can't really do anything and you

1:00:25

know they have to play off curve

1:00:27

they have to play a three drop

1:00:29

instead of a four drop or a

1:00:31

four drop instead of a five drop

1:00:33

and That's a pretty good deal given

1:00:35

that a four men of four or

1:00:37

five flying is already a good a

1:00:39

good card So it doesn't add like

1:00:41

a huge amount to the card But

1:00:43

I would say this card looks like

1:00:45

a B plus to me. Yeah, it

1:00:47

does to me too And I do

1:00:49

assume that we will actually have targets

1:00:51

for that fairly frequently Yeah, just the

1:00:53

common game land are enough. Right. Next

1:00:55

is Storm Scale Sion. This is Four

1:00:57

Red Red for a Four Four Flying

1:00:59

Dragon at Mythic Rare. It says other

1:01:01

dragons you control get plus one plus

1:01:04

one, and they couldn't help themselves. It

1:01:06

has Dragon. Storm if you will so

1:01:08

it has storm which is when you

1:01:10

cast this spell copy it for each

1:01:12

spell cast Before it this turn and

1:01:14

copies become tokens in this case It's

1:01:16

just that's really tough on a six-manner

1:01:18

card, right? Yeah, but this card is

1:01:20

such a huge payoff. I mean if

1:01:22

you cast this as your second spell

1:01:24

You you get two five five dragons.

1:01:26

That's that's a lot. You don't need

1:01:28

a whole lot more than that So,

1:01:30

yeah, the way to do that is

1:01:32

to like take like the iridescent tiger,

1:01:34

you know, from the five mana three

1:01:36

four that adds prismatic mana to your

1:01:38

mana base or two to your binnepole.

1:01:40

So you go like, turn six, just

1:01:42

play that, play this, two five fives

1:01:44

for six mana, great. Obviously, if you

1:01:46

can wait until seven or eight mana

1:01:49

and play like two or three spells

1:01:51

total in a turn, you're really talking,

1:01:53

but I think this looks like a

1:01:55

build around. I mean, think of it

1:01:57

as an eight man a card that

1:01:59

you cast a two drop and you

1:02:01

cast these two like. You can get

1:02:03

to eight manna in this format and

1:02:05

casting this card will be really strong.

1:02:07

And if you can squeeze in one

1:02:09

more spells and you have three six

1:02:11

sixes instead of two five pives, every

1:02:13

additional spell is really, really strong. Is

1:02:15

this like a ramp payoff then? I

1:02:17

would say it's a ramp slash flurry

1:02:19

payoff where if you can pick up

1:02:21

like, the free spell, obviously that's a

1:02:23

big part of it. If you can

1:02:25

pick up other ways to kind of

1:02:27

get. You know a spell on the

1:02:29

stack at very low or cheap cost

1:02:31

like that's what you're looking for but

1:02:34

ramp also really works I can imagine

1:02:36

playing this in a teamer deck that's

1:02:38

trying to go You know ramp ramp

1:02:40

play some removal or card draw and

1:02:42

then just cast this as your second

1:02:44

spell and that's that's it doesn't seem

1:02:46

impossible to me honestly. No, what do

1:02:48

you think about it without? Let's just

1:02:50

say it's not, you know, you've got

1:02:52

six man on one card or whatever

1:02:54

so you're just straight up I

1:02:56

mean, six men of four, four flying your

1:02:59

dragons get plus one, plus one is not

1:03:01

a very good card. So that is not

1:03:03

a card. I wouldn't put it in my

1:03:06

deck if I thought that that I was

1:03:08

going to be doing any of that. Okay.

1:03:10

So you would build around it enough to

1:03:12

enable at least trying to get one other

1:03:15

spell off with it. Yeah. I would like

1:03:17

for that to be a possibility either because

1:03:19

I have like a free spell or because

1:03:22

I have a. You know like a enough

1:03:24

ramp that I can get to enough cards

1:03:26

man and play and play this as like

1:03:28

a seven or eight drop that sort of

1:03:31

thing. Okay. So a build around grade is

1:03:33

appropriate here just because if you wouldn't play

1:03:35

it otherwise. But I mean this does seem

1:03:38

like the hammer and by the way, you

1:03:40

know, we're this conversation is aiming at getting

1:03:42

a single copy, but Storm does not like.

1:03:44

you know if the game goes really long

1:03:47

and you get up to ten manna you

1:03:49

could get three or four of these things

1:03:51

depending on how you line everything up i

1:03:54

you know not likely but there's things that

1:03:56

can happen where you go hey look i

1:03:58

got you know Four of

1:04:00

these things and they all pump each

1:04:03

other up and all that so you

1:04:05

know you'd be You'd be real happy

1:04:07

at that point. This to me seems

1:04:09

like a a strong high-end ramp finisher

1:04:12

This is a way that you can

1:04:14

close out the game if your deck's

1:04:16

capable of either producing a crap ton

1:04:19

of manna or You're kind of leaning

1:04:21

towards the flurry stuff as well, and

1:04:23

that's pretty good. I mean I don't

1:04:25

know I'm not jumping out of my

1:04:28

seat for this thing that's a lot

1:04:30

of setup cost storm on a six-drop-drop-drop

1:04:32

is hard Yeah, it is a lot

1:04:35

of setup calls, but the payoff really

1:04:37

is there. I would give it a

1:04:39

build around B. Okay, build around B

1:04:42

is for Storm Scale Science. Last red

1:04:44

card, also Mythic Rare, is Dracogenesis. This

1:04:46

is six red red for an enchantment

1:04:48

at Mythic, and it says, you may

1:04:51

cast dragon spells without paying their manicos.

1:04:53

Enjoy that one commander players have fun.

1:04:55

Yeah, that is enough. That's an F.

1:04:58

That's not for us. We're not playing

1:05:00

that one That moves us to green

1:05:02

our last of the single colors here.

1:05:05

It's heard heirloom is our first card.

1:05:07

It's one in a green for an

1:05:09

artifact at rare. It says tap add

1:05:11

one man of any color spend this

1:05:14

manna only to cast a creature spell

1:05:16

That's not too bad. A little manor

1:05:18

rock there for us. And then it

1:05:21

also has tap, until and of turn,

1:05:23

target creature you control with power four

1:05:25

or greater gains trample. And whenever this

1:05:28

creature deals combat damage to a player,

1:05:30

draw a card. That's cool. So, I

1:05:32

mean, creatures are kind of the most

1:05:34

important thing, right? Yeah, it's a somewhat

1:05:37

restrictive... Manorock, otherwise if

1:05:39

it was just a straight up Manorock, this card

1:05:41

would be absurd, I think. Yes. But it is

1:05:43

somewhat restrictive, but the plus side is tap one

1:05:45

of your big creatures draws a card if it's

1:05:48

hitting them. I think that's really strong. I would

1:05:50

say this is a build around because you need

1:05:52

to make sure that when you tap it for

1:05:54

Mana, you can spend it like most of the

1:05:56

time, not all the time, but most of the

1:05:59

time. You want this to be an effective manor

1:06:01

rock. Like a teamer ramp deck with 12 spells

1:06:03

doesn't want this card. But an abson deck, I

1:06:05

bet can use it really well. Or some teamer

1:06:07

decks or some sultide decks. It just depends on

1:06:10

kind of what is going on in your deck

1:06:12

because the payoff is really there. Herd heirloom is

1:06:14

probably like a build around B, but you can

1:06:16

get this to a B plus A minus in

1:06:18

your deck. If this taps to cast

1:06:21

almost all your spells, all your spells,

1:06:23

you're your spells and you have a

1:06:25

four-powered power power power power power-powered creatures.

1:06:27

This is going to be one of

1:06:29

the best cards in your deck. It's

1:06:31

a man or rock that also taps

1:06:33

to draw cards. That's exactly what you

1:06:35

want. And of course, the more expensive

1:06:38

cards tend to cost, creatures tend to

1:06:40

cost more in this, it plays into both

1:06:42

of those things. Yeah, I mean, I like

1:06:44

B for herd heirloom. I mean, this card

1:06:46

seems like it will definitely pull its weight.

1:06:48

And then in the right build, like you

1:06:51

said, this could be an A minus or

1:06:53

even an A level card that could power

1:06:55

card, That's a cool card. Yeah.

1:06:57

Nature's rhythm is next. It's green,

1:07:00

green, X for a sorcery at

1:07:02

rare. And it says search your

1:07:04

library for a creature card with

1:07:07

man of value X or less

1:07:09

and put it onto the battlefield

1:07:11

and then shuffle. And then you

1:07:14

can harmonize this, but the harmonize

1:07:16

cost is kind of crazy. It's

1:07:19

green, green, green, X. I mean,

1:07:21

you know, these cards are interesting

1:07:23

because they give you... card

1:07:25

selection if you will plus they put the

1:07:28

thing onto the battlefield so it kind of

1:07:30

covers two bases but you're adding double green

1:07:32

to the cost of any card in your

1:07:34

deck like that's just too steep to pay right

1:07:36

and certainly quad green is like ludicrous yeah

1:07:38

I don't think this card's good I get

1:07:40

the harmonized joke where you're like paying for and

1:07:43

tapping a five drop but then you're still you

1:07:45

paid green green X to get the first thing

1:07:47

which is not a good deal and then you

1:07:49

paid Four manna and tapped a big creature to

1:07:51

then get a five drop. This looks like an

1:07:53

half to me. I just don't think to me

1:07:55

to I don't think you're gonna have the time

1:07:57

or inclination to really actually do this. No, it's

1:07:59

just not. efficient enough. Next is Sorock

1:08:02

elusive hunter. This is two and

1:08:04

a green for a four three

1:08:06

legendary creature human warrior. It's rare.

1:08:08

It can't be countered and it

1:08:10

has trampled. So three men of

1:08:12

four three trampled. And whenever a

1:08:14

creature you control or a creature

1:08:16

you control becomes the target of

1:08:19

a spell or an ability, an

1:08:21

opponent controls, draw a card. Wow!

1:08:23

That's like the most annoying guy

1:08:25

ever! Yeah, like what are we talking about

1:08:27

here? This card is awesome. This is

1:08:29

crazy. It can't be countered. And then

1:08:32

whenever they mess with anything on your

1:08:34

side, it has that leifold kind of

1:08:36

vibe. Yeah, including this. So you just

1:08:38

get to play this. There's just

1:08:40

no way out. Like they have to have

1:08:42

a sweeper or something weird. Yeah, you're getting

1:08:44

a nice little two for one and

1:08:46

you're getting a three man, a four

1:08:48

three trample is like really strong. I

1:08:51

mean, I mean, it's got a lot

1:08:53

against counter spells spells, which is not.

1:08:55

Not something that you're too

1:08:57

worried about overall, I wouldn't

1:09:00

say. No, it just kind of guarantees

1:09:02

that you'll get it. I think

1:09:04

I would say It's either a minus or

1:09:06

a for Surak for me just

1:09:09

because there's just no in

1:09:11

limited There's just no realistic

1:09:13

way for people to get

1:09:15

around this thing So if you cast

1:09:17

this though the fail case scenario is

1:09:19

you cast this and they just

1:09:21

don't care in terms of stats

1:09:24

Yes, and that's hard. This is

1:09:26

a four, three for three. Yeah, it

1:09:28

hits pretty hard, so I don't

1:09:30

think you're going to be that

1:09:32

likely to end up in a

1:09:34

spot where that's relevant. So yeah,

1:09:36

I think Soroc is just an

1:09:39

A minus. It's... I think so too.

1:09:41

Seems pretty great to me. Great

1:09:43

card. Next is warden of the grove.

1:09:45

This is two and a green for

1:09:47

a two to hydra at rare. It

1:09:50

says at the beginning of your end

1:09:52

step, put a plus one plus one

1:09:54

counter on this creature. Nice. And whenever

1:09:56

another non token creature you control enters,

1:09:59

it endures X. where X is the

1:10:01

number of counters on this creature.

1:10:03

It doesn't have any evasion, no

1:10:05

trample, no reach, no, nothing like

1:10:07

that. But, I mean, it's a three man

1:10:09

of three, three, you know, by the

1:10:12

time it's their turn, and then it's

1:10:14

getting smaller. No, and then when you

1:10:16

play another creature, you just get

1:10:18

more creatures if you're behind, or

1:10:20

you can make that creature bigger

1:10:22

if that's what you need to do.

1:10:25

Yeah, that seems really good to me. you

1:10:27

know you paid three man and they killed

1:10:29

it with a shock window but like this

1:10:31

seems like the upside's worth taking it even

1:10:33

have a whole turn because you're probably not

1:10:35

you're not getting anything out of this the

1:10:37

first turn in terms of counters so like

1:10:40

you play this it gets a counter they

1:10:42

untapped they cast their source or speed kill

1:10:44

spell they got their one-for-one yeah but

1:10:46

so they have a whole turn cycle yeah if they

1:10:48

don't you you you get you start to get value

1:10:50

the next turn I mean the next turn I mean

1:10:52

I mean the I think that would be like a

1:10:54

B minus. Yeah, I think so too. It's a three

1:10:57

man, a three, three on their turn, then a four,

1:10:59

four, next turn, and the other part makes it awesome.

1:11:01

I would give Warden of the Grove an A minus.

1:11:03

I think it's just, look, Surak and Warden of the

1:11:05

Grove, and we're actually going to get to another one

1:11:07

here, and we're actually going to get to another one

1:11:09

here, Laced Prowler, Laceda, and Warden of the Grove,

1:11:11

and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and

1:11:14

we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're,

1:11:16

and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and

1:11:18

we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're,

1:11:20

and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and

1:11:22

we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're,

1:11:24

and about it that gets you out of that

1:11:26

in like any advantageous way. Yeah, and you're under

1:11:28

life total pressure. I mean, these cards slam. Like,

1:11:30

Ward and the Grove gets real big, real quick,

1:11:32

and Surak starts that way. That's nice. Let's

1:11:34

take a look at Laced Prowler. What does

1:11:36

it do? It's two green-green for a five-five

1:11:38

snake ranger at rare, and what enters you

1:11:40

may mill cards equal to the number of

1:11:43

lands you control. So, you can cast this

1:11:45

and you can mill yourself for like seven

1:11:47

if you want. Or on turn four, mill

1:11:49

for four. My experience having this in a,

1:11:51

in a, in a teamer deck was, I

1:11:53

would mill more than half the time, but

1:11:55

not all the time. It just depends on

1:11:58

the, the situation, depends on your deck. how

1:12:00

much stuff you have in your

1:12:02

graveyard. If you're running it on

1:12:04

on four, are you just milling? Almost

1:12:06

100% of the time. You're just

1:12:08

not worried about decking at that point

1:12:11

in these decks. A, they have a

1:12:13

lot of things to do with their

1:12:15

graveyard. And B, let's look at the

1:12:18

next part of the card, which is

1:12:20

renew, one of the green, exile this

1:12:22

from your graveyard, but let's look at

1:12:25

the next part of the card, which

1:12:27

is renew, renew, which is renew, renew,

1:12:29

Very good card. So format a

1:12:32

55 that helps enable your mill

1:12:34

stuff that also flashes back for

1:12:36

like three plus counters sometimes much

1:12:39

more than that I like I like probably

1:12:41

be plus for Laced Prowler. Yeah,

1:12:43

it's still really I would give it

1:12:45

an A minus. Would you? Okay, the two

1:12:47

halves of the card are just so good.

1:12:49

I mean, it's really good. I really

1:12:52

like how they're leaning into the

1:12:54

power. Power and toughness stuff on green

1:12:56

and when we see three mana four

1:12:58

three two mana three three that gets

1:13:00

bigger two two that gets bigger Laceda

1:13:02

four man of five five and our

1:13:04

last two green cards are four fives

1:13:06

and five fives respectively They're you know

1:13:09

I like having just a lot of

1:13:11

power and toughness on green side and

1:13:13

Laced prowler certainly gives you that in

1:13:15

addition to the the renewability Next

1:13:17

is bloom vine vine region region. This

1:13:20

is three green green for a four

1:13:22

five flying dragon it's rare it's rare

1:13:24

And it says, whenever this creature or

1:13:26

another dragon, you control enters. Oh, it's

1:13:29

nice. You game three life. Thank

1:13:31

you. A minute four, five, flying

1:13:33

game three? Awesome. Yeah, that's a

1:13:35

great stabilizer. And it has a

1:13:37

sorcery speed omen called Claim Territory

1:13:39

for two in a green. It

1:13:41

says, search a library for up

1:13:43

to two basic forest cards, reveal

1:13:45

them, one onto the battlefield tapped,

1:13:47

and the other into your hand,

1:13:49

and then shuffle. Dang. That is a

1:13:51

nice magic card right there, Bloomvine Region,

1:13:53

nice. Oh yeah, I mean, love it. This

1:13:56

is another card that like, it

1:13:58

curves into itself perfectly for... or

1:14:00

for people lucky enough to just

1:14:02

immediately redraw it. But you know,

1:14:04

three men and to go get a

1:14:06

forest into play and then and a

1:14:08

force in your hand is a very

1:14:10

strong ramp. And then five men, four,

1:14:12

five, flying, gain three, that also gains

1:14:14

three if you play another dragon. Yeah, bloom

1:14:16

by region just looks like an aid to

1:14:18

me. It does to me too. Both

1:14:20

haves are great. I'm in for both.

1:14:22

I would be casting claim territory a lot

1:14:25

of the time too. That is really

1:14:27

powerful ramp. Yeah. The hoof baby crater

1:14:29

hoof behemoth is back it's five green

1:14:31

green green for a five five beast

1:14:33

at mythic rare it's got haste and

1:14:35

it says when this creature enters creatures

1:14:37

you control gain trample and get plus

1:14:39

x plus x until end of turn

1:14:41

where x is the number of creatures

1:14:43

you control you control of turn where

1:14:45

x is the number of creatures you

1:14:47

control basically in almost any reasonable board

1:14:49

state you don't need to have much

1:14:51

at all just two creatures or something

1:14:53

like that crater will often just end

1:14:55

the game the cost. in a three-color

1:14:57

set. So is this an attainable goal?

1:14:59

Oh, it's definitely attainable. It just

1:15:02

puts it firmly in the builder on

1:15:04

camp where you are going to need

1:15:06

basically green ramp, most likely. The blue

1:15:08

card draw helps. The way to get eight

1:15:10

lands to play partially is to make your

1:15:13

land drop every single turn. It's true. I

1:15:15

would say it's like a build around a

1:15:17

minus where it's eight men a win the

1:15:20

game. It is. The difference. The difference is,

1:15:22

I don't compare to something like Ugan.

1:15:24

You need to actually have a creature in

1:15:26

play or a couple of creatures with

1:15:28

just two creatures. You're adding this

1:15:31

as itself as an 88 plus an additional

1:15:33

plus 6 plus 6. That's 14 points

1:15:35

of trample plus the power of your

1:15:37

creatures to start with. So it doesn't

1:15:39

take much for this card to be

1:15:41

really good, but it does take something. If

1:15:43

they're at 20 and you have one creature,

1:15:45

it's not going to be a win the

1:15:48

game spell, which is to win the game.

1:15:50

Yes. I do like this in a team of ramp

1:15:52

deck, but you are balancing two things, which is

1:15:54

having eight manna and having creatures in play. That

1:15:56

actually makes me want to drop it to build

1:15:59

around B where... Okay. When this card goes on the

1:16:01

stack, it's going to have a very high win percentage.

1:16:03

But sometimes you're just not going to be able to

1:16:05

cast it or you're going to be able to cast

1:16:07

it and it won't do enough. So yes, I bet

1:16:09

in Sealed this is like one of the better things

1:16:11

you can open. I bet it is. You just cast

1:16:13

this with three creatures in play, they're almost automatically dead.

1:16:16

With four creatures in play, forget about it. You know,

1:16:18

so. I like Build Around B for Craterhoof. You

1:16:20

gotta be ramping, you gotta have a high creature

1:16:22

account, and it's kind of hard to balance both

1:16:24

of those things sometimes. Yeah, but it looks like

1:16:27

it's here. There's good ramp spells where you just

1:16:29

had one with Blue and Lime Region, plus the

1:16:31

cards we did in the last review. So

1:16:33

build around B for Craterhoof, and that'll put

1:16:35

us into the real meat of the rare

1:16:38

and mythic rare review for a set like

1:16:40

this, which are the gold cards, which are

1:16:42

the gold cards. So our first one is

1:16:44

called. It looks like there's a full cycle

1:16:47

of sieges here. The first one is called

1:16:49

Baron Step Siege. This is two white black

1:16:51

for an enchantment at rare. It says, as

1:16:53

this enchantment enters, choose Obzon or

1:16:56

Mardu, which is the two clans that

1:16:58

black and white touch here. If you

1:17:00

choose Obson, it says at the beginning

1:17:02

of your end step, put a plus

1:17:05

and plus one counter on each creature

1:17:07

you control. Dang. If you choose

1:17:09

Mardu, it says at the beginning

1:17:11

of your end step, if a

1:17:13

creature died under your control this

1:17:16

turn, each opponent sacrifices a creature

1:17:18

of their choice. Oh man. So

1:17:20

all the seizures are awesome, except

1:17:22

actually the blue-green seizures, it kind

1:17:25

of sucks. But this one, both

1:17:27

the choices push you in the same

1:17:29

direction, which is a little unfortunate.

1:17:31

You'd kind of rather, one of

1:17:33

the modes be good when you

1:17:35

have a lot of creatures. But.

1:17:37

They're both really powerful and they

1:17:40

both have their moments. So if your

1:17:42

board is wide, you're probably going

1:17:44

to choose OBSON. And if I had

1:17:46

to guess, you're going to choose OBSON 80%

1:17:48

of the time and Marty 20% of the

1:17:50

time, something like that. But imagine a scenario

1:17:52

where they have just a 5-5 in play

1:17:54

and you have a mobilized creature. You

1:17:57

just attack them, mobilize, then you cast

1:17:59

this and. immediately you have

1:18:01

to sack their big creature at the

1:18:03

end of your turn because this doesn't

1:18:05

have to be in play when your creature

1:18:07

died. Right they don't know it's coming.

1:18:09

So you could even without mobilize attack

1:18:12

a 2-2 into their 6-6 and they're

1:18:14

like okay block you're like okay

1:18:16

baron step siege go you sack

1:18:18

your creature. Right. So there's really

1:18:20

no way to lose out with this as long

1:18:22

as you have plenty of creatures in

1:18:24

play this on Hobzon. Yeah. Three plus and

1:18:27

plus one counter is that turn. And then

1:18:29

next year you play another creature now you're

1:18:31

getting four. Like that's just a complete, you

1:18:33

know, completely unbeatable amount of counters if they're

1:18:35

not really doing some good stuff. And if

1:18:38

you're kind of on the defensive and you

1:18:40

don't have that many creatures in play, the

1:18:42

Marty mode can still be pretty good. It

1:18:44

just depends on like how you can kind of

1:18:47

manage it. Once they know about it, they're not

1:18:49

going to block your things, but mobile wise still

1:18:51

kind of does kind of does the thing. They

1:18:53

might not be able to beat USAC a

1:18:55

creature every turn. Yeah, if you're playing Teamer

1:18:57

and you have, even if you have to

1:18:59

throw away a mobilized creature or two, just

1:19:01

to get the thing going, it'll work.

1:19:03

So I like A for Baron Step

1:19:05

stage. Just make sure you draft enough

1:19:08

creatures. Yeah, just have enough creatures in

1:19:10

your deck. Next is Frostcliff Siege. This

1:19:12

is one blue red for an enchantment

1:19:14

at rare. These are all, all the

1:19:16

sieges are rare. And you can choose

1:19:18

Jess Guy or Timor. If you choose

1:19:20

Jess Guy, whenever one or more creatures,

1:19:22

you control, deal combat damage to a

1:19:24

player, draw a card. Nice. Or Timor,

1:19:26

creatures you control, get plus one plus

1:19:29

zero and have trample and haste.

1:19:31

Once again, this is kind of,

1:19:33

you know, oh, both modes are

1:19:35

good if you're hitting your opponent.

1:19:37

So it's like, okay, that's not,

1:19:39

you know, the ideal scenario. But

1:19:41

Frostcliffe Siege still has some pretty

1:19:43

high upside. You really want to

1:19:45

choose Jess Guy, mostly, because if

1:19:47

you can go like two-man, two-one,

1:19:49

two-one, flyer, play Frost Cliff Siege,

1:19:51

you still have some pretty high

1:19:53

upside. You really want to choose

1:19:55

Jess Guy, to play, casting the

1:19:57

team remote, the team, and it's...

1:20:00

The games where it's good are often games where

1:20:02

you're ahead. You're either hitting them with creatures for

1:20:05

just guy or you have some big creatures to

1:20:07

play for teamers. So I would give Frostcliff's

1:20:09

Ease a B. I think it's still a powerful

1:20:11

card when your opponent plays it. You sit up

1:20:13

in your chair a little and you're like, okay,

1:20:15

got to stop them from hitting me if they

1:20:17

chose just guy or got to make sure I

1:20:19

play defensively enough to beat the teamer mode, but it's

1:20:21

not a card that. I don't think

1:20:24

this is going to transform that many

1:20:26

losing games into winning games. It doesn't

1:20:28

have that defensive aspect that like choosing

1:20:30

Mardu on Beren Step Siege does. Or

1:20:33

not even defensive. Well, I wouldn't say

1:20:35

defensive. Because you have to attack with

1:20:37

the Mardis side. It doesn't have a

1:20:39

good thing if you're not making forward

1:20:42

progress. Yeah, that's a good way to

1:20:44

put it. Is I think part of

1:20:46

the problem. Yeah. Yeah, both of these

1:20:48

do have that similarity. It's a major

1:20:51

weakness for sure. baron step, you know,

1:20:53

the abson mode just growing any creatures

1:20:55

huge is great. This doesn't quite have

1:20:57

that consistency to it.

1:20:59

I agree with you B for frost

1:21:01

cliff siege. It is asking a bit

1:21:03

more of you. Next is hollow murk

1:21:05

siege. This is green black. Again, enchantment

1:21:08

rare, you can choose Obzon or

1:21:10

Sultai. If you choose Sultai, it

1:21:12

says, whenever a counter is put

1:21:14

on a creature, you control, draw

1:21:16

a card, this ability triggers only

1:21:19

once each turn. And if you

1:21:21

choose Obson, it says, whenever you

1:21:23

attack, put a plus one plus

1:21:25

one counter on target attacking creature,

1:21:27

it gains menace until a turn.

1:21:29

I've had the pleasure of this

1:21:31

in like an aggressive green black

1:21:33

deck, and it was obscenely good.

1:21:36

This is another kind of 80-20 year because

1:21:38

if the thing if you're doing the thing

1:21:40

Sulti will will will push you ahead right

1:21:42

like you chose you choose Sulti you renew

1:21:44

something you draw a card you do that

1:21:46

again next turn you're like you're two minute

1:21:48

cards drawing you a card each churn and

1:21:51

you're kind of like yeah this is going

1:21:53

good. Mm-hmm. Obson doesn't require you to do

1:21:55

anything but attack which is much easier and

1:21:57

you also end up either way you're getting

1:21:59

an advantage. but Obson you're actually getting on board

1:22:01

too. So I kind of think just getting plus one

1:22:03

plus one counters here is gonna be enough of an

1:22:05

advantage that you don't need to also be drawing cards

1:22:07

in a mode that's a lot harder to get to

1:22:09

work and less aggressive. Plus this gives menace. So I

1:22:11

like this a lot, I would play this in a

1:22:13

deck with lots of creatures and I would just

1:22:15

use the Obazon mode most of the time. There

1:22:17

were only times when you play the soul time

1:22:20

mode and you connect immediately draw a draw a

1:22:22

card off it. You're going to be going to

1:22:24

be pretty happy. You're going to be pretty happy.

1:22:26

Yeah, I like the Absan mode for lining up

1:22:28

with the prices. Well, you know, just two manna

1:22:30

for hollow murk siege means that, you know, you

1:22:32

could double spell on a turn where you get

1:22:34

to play this, get a good attacking and maybe

1:22:37

even still play another creature to keep the attacks

1:22:39

flowing next turn, you know, if that first one

1:22:41

died or whatever. Where the Sultai mode, that is

1:22:43

clunky. Right, I mean putting counters on creatures is

1:22:45

hard, renew is the most common ability, but

1:22:47

that requires stuff hitting the graveyard, the renew

1:22:49

costs can be expensive. Yes, you could get

1:22:51

a card back, but I mean, you got

1:22:53

to get another card off of this before

1:22:55

you're even kind of feeling happy about it

1:22:58

if you're even kind of feeling happy about

1:23:00

it if you chose that mode. So yeah,

1:23:02

the Obzon mode though, if you're being assertive

1:23:04

and it just unlocks a bunch of attacks

1:23:06

that don't get any better for your opponent

1:23:08

for your opponent over time. That's. I mean,

1:23:10

think about this, you play two drop, three drop,

1:23:12

they play like their own. Turn four, you're like,

1:23:15

hollow murk siege, attack, make my three drop

1:23:17

into a, like a four, four, menace. They

1:23:19

can't really block, maybe they double block and

1:23:21

get blown out by something, or they just

1:23:24

don't block, then you play another thing. next

1:23:26

turn you're like attacking and get another counter

1:23:28

on something you can move it around based

1:23:30

on the board situation the menace part really

1:23:33

matters. It means it means if they just

1:23:35

have one creature you can attack with your

1:23:37

two to make it at three three minutes

1:23:39

they take three they attack with their three

1:23:42

minutes they take three they attack you back

1:23:44

with their four four next year you attack

1:23:46

you attack with their four four next year

1:23:48

you attack them you attack them you're getting

1:23:51

more more counters it's not that different it's

1:23:53

good in keeper's talents to busted card, but

1:23:55

it's still pretty good. I would give B

1:23:58

plus for Hall of Mercy. Just mainly. because

1:24:00

like what if I flip it around

1:24:02

on you and I say well your

1:24:04

opponent played two drop three drop you

1:24:07

know they curved out on you and

1:24:09

maybe you stumbled once or something then

1:24:11

the siege is like it's looking a

1:24:13

lot slower where you'd rather have it

1:24:15

be like a removal spell or just

1:24:18

anything that could help you stabilize. So

1:24:20

I'm not disagreeing with what you said

1:24:22

about the power level. Let's talk about

1:24:24

it once you've cast the card and

1:24:26

then you know you'll be happy to

1:24:29

bump it to an egg. Yeah no

1:24:31

I mean it's it's it's just. I

1:24:33

have found myself not ahead in games

1:24:35

before. Next is Win Craig Siege. This

1:24:37

is One Red White for an enchantment.

1:24:40

Again, it rare. You can choose Mardu

1:24:42

or Jess Guy. If you choose Mardu,

1:24:44

it says if. A creature attacking causes

1:24:46

a triggered ability of a permanent u-control

1:24:48

to trigger. That ability triggers an additional

1:24:51

time. And if you choose Jess Guy,

1:24:53

it says at the beginning of your

1:24:55

upkeep, create a one-one red-goblin creature token.

1:24:57

It gains lifelink and haste until a

1:24:59

different turn. So the default mode here,

1:25:02

because all of these seem to have

1:25:04

like a bit of a default mode.

1:25:06

They do. The default mode here is

1:25:08

Jessica. You don't have to do anything.

1:25:10

Getting a one-one life link or every

1:25:13

turn, just even defensively is very good

1:25:15

and as hasty, you can kind of

1:25:17

press the advantage. If you're winning the

1:25:19

game, you can choose Martin. If you

1:25:21

have some good attack triggers going on,

1:25:24

then yeah, you can choose Martin, you

1:25:26

can really get in there. And that

1:25:28

doubles your mobilize, is that kind of

1:25:30

the baseline for it? That's the main

1:25:33

thing, but there's other attack triggers too.

1:25:35

I think even if you didn't have

1:25:37

the Marti mode, I would give this

1:25:39

card like probably a B plus a

1:25:41

minus and given that it does have

1:25:44

the Marti mode, well, I would, I

1:25:46

think just give it an a minus.

1:25:48

Yeah, I agree. I agree. I think

1:25:50

that just guy mode is worth an

1:25:52

a minus on its own. Yeah. Right.

1:25:55

This is just a huge problem on

1:25:57

turn three and it's an enchantment and

1:25:59

it works well on defense and offense.

1:26:01

So yeah, that's great. That that card

1:26:03

is nice. at the last of the

1:26:06

siege is this glacier wood siege. This

1:26:08

is when you said you thought it

1:26:10

was probably the worst of the bunch.

1:26:12

One green... and you can choose Sultai

1:26:14

or Teamer. If you choose Teamer, it

1:26:17

says whenever you cast an instant or

1:26:19

sorcery spell, target player mills four cards,

1:26:21

well I'm in, or you can choose

1:26:23

Sultai, you may play lands from your

1:26:25

graveyard. Okay, now I see what you're

1:26:28

saying. These are interesting, but they're totally

1:26:30

different than the ones that all the

1:26:32

other ones are like these like. you

1:26:34

know, you're attacking your opponent, you're drawing

1:26:36

cards, you're doing it, this is kind

1:26:39

of like, I'm going to be over

1:26:41

here maybe generating some incidental value or

1:26:43

something like that. Yeah, Gayshwood Siege has

1:26:45

its moments. Like, not the saltine mode

1:26:47

so much, because I think Crucival World

1:26:50

is just a really weak play to

1:26:52

make. Even if you had five lands

1:26:54

in your graveyard, you've done a bunch

1:26:56

of stuff already. So I kind of

1:26:58

feel like, like you're not going to

1:27:01

end up. needing to do that. And

1:27:03

the teamer mode is the one that's

1:27:05

interesting. You do have to have a

1:27:07

deck that works with it, though. Not

1:27:09

all decks will. Yeah, you need to

1:27:12

have a bunch of instances. I do

1:27:14

think it's a legit build around. So

1:27:16

this is the only one of these

1:27:18

is to build around. I would give

1:27:21

it a build around B. If you

1:27:23

have a spell heavy teamer deck, you

1:27:25

don't need that many triggers before this

1:27:27

card kind of. kills them. Like if

1:27:29

you cast three spells and build them

1:27:32

for 12, that's already a pretty good

1:27:34

start. If you cast four, I assume

1:27:36

that's good enough, you know. Yeah. I

1:27:38

feel like also Glacierwood Siege is like,

1:27:40

if you told me that I just

1:27:43

got both of these, like I wouldn't

1:27:45

be floored by that. You know, like,

1:27:47

like these, it would be like, okay,

1:27:49

that's kind of even more interesting. Like

1:27:51

the fact that I have to choose

1:27:54

one or the other is like pretty

1:27:56

tough for that siege. But like, but

1:27:58

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:28:00

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:28:02

like, Triple color cards. There are many.

1:28:05

The first one is called Thunder of

1:28:07

Unity. It is red white black for

1:28:09

a saga. So that's an enchantment saga

1:28:11

at Rare. And just as a quick

1:28:13

reminder, it says, as this saga enters

1:28:16

and after your drawstep, a lower counter

1:28:18

and then you sacrifice it after chapter

1:28:20

three. So chapter one, so this is

1:28:22

when it ETBs, is you draw two

1:28:24

cards and lose two life and chapters

1:28:27

two and three are the same and

1:28:29

it says whenever a creature you control

1:28:31

enters this turn, each opponent loses one

1:28:33

life and you gain one life. This

1:28:35

card's awesome. That's sweet. Three men I

1:28:38

draw two, lose two is obviously tough

1:28:40

on triple color card. But if you

1:28:42

just cast one creature a turn afterwards,

1:28:44

then the net result was you drew

1:28:46

two, your opponent lost two, and you

1:28:49

know you broke even on life because

1:28:51

you gained two. But I don't think

1:28:53

that's how these are going to play

1:28:55

out. When you mobilize this triggers. Right.

1:28:58

If you have a mobilized two card,

1:29:00

like oof. And if you just and

1:29:02

you because you drew two two cards,

1:29:04

you're probably casting a few things too.

1:29:06

Right. That chapter three, like where you

1:29:09

get to like use the mobilized card

1:29:11

you have plus the one that you

1:29:13

drew off of it from chapter one

1:29:15

and cast it or whatever, like that's

1:29:17

gonna be a lot. I wouldn't be

1:29:20

surprised at all, you know, if you

1:29:22

end up up two cards and up

1:29:24

on life and, you know, having, you

1:29:26

know, seven or something hit your opponent

1:29:28

over the course of those turns. Yeah,

1:29:31

I think Thunder Unity looks like a

1:29:33

great reason to be Mardoun. kind of

1:29:35

a point I want to make when

1:29:37

we're talking about these three-color cards especially

1:29:39

is looking at them early in a

1:29:42

pack, say pack one, pick one. When

1:29:44

you take one of these, you're committing

1:29:46

pretty hard to either I'm going to

1:29:48

go Mardue and play Thunder of Unity

1:29:50

or I'm not going to play it.

1:29:53

Whereas a mono color card can go

1:29:55

into three different clans or a two-color

1:29:57

card, you know, because they're all enemy

1:29:59

color, can go into two different clans.

1:30:01

So the combination of those things means

1:30:04

that it's If you're first being a

1:30:06
