    You can tell CGB doesn't know that the Fairy Tales from Disney stray far from the original fairy tales where things like the step-sisters of Cinderella chopped off parts of their feet to fit into the glass slippers or the Evil Queen in Snow White was forced to wear red hot iron shoes and dance at the wedding happened.

    • @Argusthecat
      @Argusthecat 22 дні тому +9

      Fun fact about a lot of these! The thing people think of when they talk about these 'original' stories are *mostly* the ones compiled in the works of the Brothers Grimm. But even those stories can't actually be trusted to be the original folk tales and oral legends! There's an amount of evidence that the brothers were... editorializing, let's say. Or picking their favorite versions of the stories they heard multiple iterations of. Their own preference toward darker narratives shaped their work, which then outlived the actual originals.
      In a way, Disney having their own take on things, and creating a 'house style' that is in contrast to where they got the story from in the first place, is just another cycle of a long tradition. Which is actually kinda cool, and deeply human.

    • @tau.r.u
      @tau.r.u 22 дні тому +2

      @@Argusthecat Indeed, it's very clear they were editorialising, since they published several versions and changed details between their own publications. While there probably was some personal preference in there, much of it was probably also done with the taste of the public in mind, or the need to not cause to much scandal.
      As you stated, there was with a tendency towards darkness, or at least towards violence - particularly in punishing who or what was (perceived to be) morally reprehensible. On the other hand, some of the stories appear to have been more sexual in nature, contained more innuendo than the brothers Grimm ended up recording.
      Oh, also, in case you ever wondered what's with all the evil stepmothers in fairy tales: those used to be mothers in the stories, but that didn't quite fit the burgeoning bourgeois tastes that were served by these fairy tales. Clearly motherhood had to be this sacred thing in the equally sacred nuclear family. So double whammy on the stepmoms: not real mothers and clearly not a real part of the ideal family.
      Especially with stories like these, of course they got changed all the time, pretty much every generation. There may have been versions with more present ("pagan") deities, there may have been thousands of local variations with names, foods, clothing in the stories. These are archetypal stories that are pretty much there to be a mirror of their time. So I fully agree that Disney is just a part of that tradition, even in yet again reworking the stories with more supposedly woke angles, as some corners of the internet like to decry. That's just the nature of these stories and in a sense, of all stories.
      TL;DR: I agree.

    • @quagsoul
      @quagsoul 21 день тому +1

      @@tau.r.u The stories in the Grimm collections changed a lot between editions, very true. The reason isn't that surprising either - Wilhelm did most of the work on the editions past the first, and changed morals and characters within the stories to align better with christian beliefs. If I remember right (it's been a while since I read the history of the Grimm stories) the church invested quite heavily into the later editions as good ways to teach the masses "good" morals. Jacob only really contributed to the collection of the stories, and the first edition.
      A lot of the darker elements of the stories were heavily toned down, and many of the more characters/contrivances that would come to the heroes' rescue were changed from being folklore-ish to angels, God, etc.
      The first edition is no-doubt editorialised, and many stories will have been omitted, but the difference between it and later/final editions is fascinating, and seeing more modern interpretations of the stories is as much so.

    Mossborn Hydra is such a fun card if all the stars align. I experimented with it a bit in Arena as part of the first Green deck I ever built, and that first game I played with the deck I ended it with three Hydras on board with the first at 118098/118098, the second at 39366/39366 and the third-the slacker of the group!-at 162/162 alongside a Nissa, Resurgent Animist and a Lumra, Bellow of the Woods that was 28/28 versus three Enduring Curiosities and a Floodpits Drowner blocking. That very very first game was the high water mark for the deck. I went to bed after that game, played the next day, it took me three hours of play time to get another win the deck, and at various points I kept making tweaks to try to make the deck go just a little faster but it wasn't getting much better. It's probably too slow for BO1 Standard in Arena, but I dunno, don't take my word for it, I'm still learning the game.

    For mossborn hydra, do lands entering at the same time double the counters separately? For example, if it had 8 counters and 2 lands entered, would it add 8 counters twice? Or add 8 then 16? I ask because scute swarm has a similar problem

    • @mcgulasch
      @mcgulasch 21 день тому +4

      Yes, they double separately. The lands enter at the same time, which triggers the hydra twice. So both triggers are on the stack, the first resolves, doubling the counters. When the second trigger resolves, it counts the counters at that time, doubling again. Basically it goes from 8 to 16 and then to 32.
      With scute swarm it is a little different, because only the swarms in play see the two lands entering. The newly generated swarms haven’t seen any lands entering when the second trigger resolves. So 8 swarms create 8 new swarms twice, going to 24 instead of 32 like with the hydra.

      Yes. Infect causes a source to "deal damage in the form of poison or -1/-1 counters". This still counts as dealing damage and therefore gains you life with lifelink. It's a bit weird, but that's how infect officially works. It doesn't prevent you from dealing damage, it just changes the effects of that damage (poison counters instead of life loss for players and and -1/-1 counters instead of marked damage for creatures, normal damage to planeswalkers and battles).

    • @Kestral287
      @Kestral287 22 дні тому +6

      The threat assessment here is honestly very straightforward.
      In a vacuum, CGB likely has the strongest deck at the table, with his only major rival in that respect being Blake. But Ben quite literally asked for that attack, and while CGB would kill Blake eventually, there were very good odds that if Ben untapped he could have killed Blake immediately (and would have; there's not much reason to let someone who's going to swing a 128 power trampler next turn live). Every token Ben made was a 6/5 flying vigilance, and that number grew with every enchantment he cast. That's a very dangerous person to leave alive, and you have to kill the person who's going to kill you now, not the person who's going to kill you in four turns.
      And then the rest of the game did acknowledge that absent an immediate threat CGB was the problem. On the subsequent attack, Blake did attempt to kill CGB but was stopped. And on Shea's turns, she was generally putting her damage at CGB and forcing him to deal with Blake, who didn't really have damage of his own to pressure back with unless he untapped again.

    So happy to see CGB play Korvold. He was my first comander before I knew he was popular and hated.....
