suggestion for a future video, as a sort of variation on staple or stinker. make non magic players guess if cards are real or fake, showing them magic cards with wierd rules text on them, and fake cards with the same.
@@Abdojtj I like the idea, but I'd rather see it in a format with maybe younger magic players or magic players that do not have encyclopaedic knowledge. The reason is that I do think if you show weird/fake magic cards to non-magic-players it would be a coin flip each and every time whether they guess it right. With Staple/Stinker they can at least somehow try to evaluate if a card is good based on their limited understanding of the game + hints that the team give them. There's no way one could try to make sense of weird cards enough to tell them apart from fake ones.
To be fair, part of the reason Tibalt was so highly valued was an overcorrection from how often actually good planeswalkers seemed obviously terrible based on just the card text. For example Elspeth, Knight Errant looks incredibly underwhelming but was a Modern staple for several years. At the time Tibalt came out, you could pretty safely guess based on just the card type Planeswalker that a card would probably at least be relevant to Standard even if it didn't end up in the absolute best decks in the format.
A nice piece of trivia on Lurrus is that it was one of the few cards to get BANNED in vintage. As it turns out, having an extra card in your hand that you can cast with Black Lotus, and then immediately use to recast Black Lotus, was too strong. Lurrus was so broken that it made Black Lotus, the best card ever, even stronger.
@@veryblockyit was banned, then they changed the companion mechanic. Previously you could cast then directly from your sideboard. Now you first need to pay 3 to move them to your hand. Literally doubling the cost did a lot to dampen how utterly broken it was, though it's still good enough to get banned in Modern *and* Legacy.
Want to see Staple or Stinker 2:Combo edition, where its 2 or more cards and see if the combo is staple or stinker. Examples include Faithless Looting + Sneaky Snacker or Karn Lock
I love this series! Another good idea would be cards that have seemingly BIG build-your-deck-around-this effects, like Scapeshift, Genesis Wave, Warp World, Dragon Storm, Ignite Memories, Eye of Ugin, and then ask the guest if this seems competitively viable.
This would require too much magic knowledge to answer. Most of these would only be answerable if they got to know the other cards that exist in magic. But it's a fun idea if it was possible :)
Without a lot of context about the game it would be really hard to understand why like, Genesis Wave is okay but not great but Scapeshift is crazy good.
I know it bogs down needing to explain formats and all that but I really feel like it does a disservice to describing the power of Lurrus to not mention that it's the only card to ever get a power level ban in Vintage. "So in MTG there's a format called Vintage where the only banned cards are joke cards, ante cards, racist cards, and cards which literally do not work. Black Lotus isn't banned. Lurrus is the only card in history to get banned in that format for being too powerful."
to be fair, companion cards were banned for power level reasons because restricting them would have done literally nothing, and those are the only two things you can do to a card in vintage
@@CardmarketMagic oooh or two people who have won Staple or Stinker, looking through and picking a few magic cards each from MTG's history and testing each OTHER on Staples or Stinkers. Just let two kids loose in the candy store and see what they pick to come back with. Could have a stipulation that they have to pick 3 staples and 2 stinkers, and have them try to make it difficult for each other, like, one picks Necropolis Regent and the other picks Huntmaster of the Fells, one picks Black Sun's Zenith, the other picks Killing Wave etc.
As someone who's rather new to Magic, the idea of Planeswalker is a very flavorful concept. Loyalty is so aptly named, losing some when they take damage because you (the player) choose not to block for them and if they reach 0 Loyalty from taking damage they basically go "peace out, jackass. I'm done with this". Effects that accumulates loyalty for them are like their signature cantrips so you're letting them do their thing, and ultimates are exactly that, an exertion of their mana that will more than likely render them unable to continue fighting but provides a boon for an ally Planeswalker. I think the only slight flavor fail is they are represented as counters in game, so effects that interact with counters like proliferate or doubling season will also affect loyalty counters and the only reason it does is "game mechanics" with not much flavor behind it. But that's just a minor nitpick to what would have been a 10/10 design
I’m admittedly kinda sad that you didn’t mention that Lurrus got banned in *Vintage* pre-errata, really want to hear someone’s reaction to that But fantastic job on the 5/5, I love these videos so much
I love this series, generally this shows that good players understand power level even with limited context of the game! Also, for non yugioh players, a floodgate is like a stax piece
not convinced Josh couldn't win an RCQ with only a few weeks of training. he's crazy good at Yugioh and had great analysis of all the cards in the video
I'd love you guys to try and get Josh to evaluate utility Lands. His analysis is so good that it'd be really interesting to see him interact with the game economy.
3:49 cards like that always throw me off. Like how do you handle cards that were definitely mvips at one point in time but those days are gone… and/or cards that are really great but only in specific niche decks.
Whoo! It's back. If you wanted to set the comments section of fire, putting Temple of the False God, Reliquary tower and Enlightened Tutor on there would be hilarious.
You should display cards in front of the two Staple/Stinker winners and have them build a deck by picking a card out of the selections, which are Staples and Stinkers and then have them play
You were spot-on with Tibalt. He needs to stay around a long time to get real use out of his stronger abilities and the random discard is too steep a cost for such a fragile permanent. It *might* have been playable (and even that might be a stretch) in aggro decks or graveyard decks if you got to choose the discarded card but alas, he is complete ass. Even the next worst 2 mana Planeswalker is lightyears more playable than 2-mana Tibalt and it has a restriction of not being castable for the first three turns of the game lol.
Bro you got Jesse Kotton to play Staple or Stinker!? (heh, sorry but I can't help but rub salt in the wound after this year's worlds finals). Also here's something Josh didn't even realize, he actually reacted to Sam doing Staple or Stinker a year-ish ago (he was in pain watching Sam's attempt), and he saw Sam get Thalia, and Josh guessed it right there too. Guess he forgot about it, but either way, he's a champ for a reason (and he might be picking up another YCS win this week after getting one around this time last year in the same city no less).
Tbh Tibalt biggest issue is that he dies to lightning bolt...(and that the discard is at random). If he either was starting on 3 or you could pick what you discard he would be at least all right. Granted I dont remember If lightning bolt and him were legal at the same time, but one of the check for planeswalkers is, can you survive lightning bolt? If they cant they need to have very good ability since they are better to be treated as one ability only Unles you are Ajani, Nacatl Pariah then you bring so much value that you can die to LB and its fine.
I played with Tibalt in Standard. He really wants a deck where his "disadvantage" is less painful than elsewhere - you can't just usefully throw it into any deck. Back then I played Boros Reanimator - excuse me, Boros Resurrector - and probably about 2/3 of my deck didn't mind ending up in the graveyard. My deck originally had two copies and really wanted a third. But yes, in general, it's a Bad Card.
In my Krenko deck I have 4 cards that give permanent haste to all my creatures. All of them are better than Fervor. They all cost 3 mana as well but do something else: - Goblin Chieftain is a goblin creature that gives all the other goblins +1/+1. - Goblin Warchief is a goblin creature that reduces the cost of every other goblin by 1. - Tuktuk Rubblefort is a 0/3 wall creature with reach, meaning I can also use it to block, even flyers. - Rising of the Day is power-crept Fervor. It's exactly the same but also gives my 5 legendary creatures (including my commander) +1/+0 (it's also an uncommon against Fervor that's rare). So given that Fervor is so easily outclassed in a format where it would be somewhat useful, I deduced that it had no chance of being good in a 1v1 format.
Could you show them Gurmag Angler I think it's called and Arclight Phoenix? I think those are interesting cards. Maybe Karn Liberated and Karn, The Great Creator as well?
The thing is, is Fervor is actually okay in certain decks (such as decks that rely on activated abilities of creatures) but it is a stinker because there are similar cards that are strictly better, such as "Rising of the Day" which does the same thing, for the same mana cost, but also gives your legendary creatures +1/+0...
I think 9/10 is still less then 5/5. It would have been nice to show him Fires of Yawinaya and discuss the difference including the difference in the standard environments of the time
I dont really follow standard, but i play magic in general (old precons with my dad when i was younger, mtga, commander), but these kinda all seemed obvious to me.
Unfortunately, those would be unfair without showing eye of Ugin. We can't show cards that are only good because of other cards. They have to be standalones
@@vDeadbolt Nah, we see "random discard" and are immediately like AW HELL NAH. Thalia immediately stands out as "Oh, this is awesome in white aggro decks."
Thalia, more like a former staple, at least in MH block constructed (fka modern). Not being a MH card and being an x/1 when bowmasters exists => unplayable these days.
@@HeneLv Yes. Pretty sure Phil regularly plays it in his commander decks and I've seen both Crim and Seth play it in green decks on the main channel gameplay vids.
Great video, although i think you made it a little too easy with some of the cards. I want to see a yu-gi-oh player evaluate something like temporal mastery, artist talent? maybe wrenn and six? Aurelia’s fury? the depletion lands? troll of khazad-dûm? Cards that require more understanding of the game, rather than just showing ”good” cards. Lurrus is justified, but i feel like thalia and sol ring from taylor’s video were too easy. Grazer is an example of a good card to show.
A lot of this needs to be good/bad in a vacuum. Like Karn/Mycosynth Lattice needs to be together because, while Karn is solid, Mycosynth Lattice absolutely needs to Karn to be broken. Like most Yugioh archetype cards are impossible to judge without context. Ursarctic Radiation would be ABSOLUTELY BROKEN (because anyone who knows Yugioh at even the most basic level will see it as "draw 7 cards") if Ursarctic wasn't 100% unplayable hot garbage. Even Super Polymerization (a card that cannot be responded to in any way, shape, or form) is only good if you know that Garura Wings of Resonant Life, Mudragon of the Swamp, and (to a lesser extent), Yubel the Loving Defender Forever and the Shaddoll/Elemental Hero fusions for those decks make it an easy way to get your opponent's stuff off the board at the cost of a discard and some deck building tech.
Fervor is not completely useless. It's a example of card that a 1-of in a aggro deck make sense. It's conditional but if I would be playing it in decks like Goblin to speed up my Krenko, or Sparksmith. Yes it would be terrible to draw 2 of them, but having a 1-of in casual mono red or semi competitve deck is good idea.
