Any competent DM will happily give out the deck, the main reason people don't give it is they fear it will ruin games but if you know what you are doing its not so bad and you can work around or with every possible outcome.
I just realized that even with the knowledge of how *NASTY* a Deck of Many Things can be, even the most experienced players are gonna be tempted to pull a card.
Do we not play D&D to take insane risks in the name of fun? Do not the most epic and memorable of moments come from the crazy shit we do? I say the Deck embodies what it means to play D&D. Always draw at least one card (Note: I've never had the opportunity to draw a card)
The universe noped their deck pulling SO HARD. Like I feel like The Dice Gods and Card Gods are separate entities, and the Card Gods were just ringing their hands in malicious anticipation, and the Dice Gods were just side-eyeing them and trying to protect their bbs.

Update to anyone seeing this! They brought Vox Machina back to do one last session that deals with... Whatever spoiler thing is being referred to here that I won't be spoiling! But it's apparently fantastic. We're waiting on the VOD still, but once it releases, there will be one last episode of C1 to watch!
I found a Deck of Many Things in one of my first D&D campaigns. While the party was taking a long rest, the DM and the rogue went off to another room for about half an hour. When they came back, the DM tells us that we wake up and the rogue is missing. It turns out he had stolen the deck from me and played solitaire. Ended up summoning a demon or something --- and mooned it.
I did the same (the rouges deal thing!) but i drew 3… i got my soul banished, i lost my 1k gold. And i cursed my blood line so i couldn’t be healed by magic. We had someone with a use of wishes so they rescued my soul thank gods.
I mean, by that time we'd already gotten the reveal about Keyleth's mother, something that Matt had been sitting on since late 2012/early 2013 when Marisha turned in her backstory for Keyleth for their initial home game. Matt truly is the master of the Long Con.
If Pike didn't roll high enough to know the danger, they both would've picked a card each in that room. When you think about it, this was a pretty pivotal moment.
i remember one time when we just finish a quest the npc let us pull one card each if we want, all of my teammates want to do it but i'm hesitant but still do it, all of them pull a terrible one only i pull a great one which is the sun and the character i am using is not even my favorite character. such fun times
No two DnD games are ever the same, even games by the same GM can have a different feel and atmosphere to them all dependant on player choices and dice rolls. I have been a GM for over 20 years and I still learn things from Matt. He is superb and his ability to hide his emotions until the hammer drops on the Players is impressive beyond measure. However welcome to D&D Brave Adventurer:)
@@TPBurrow since my comment I've been watching Campaign 2 currently up to ep45 I'm so obsessed I cant even use it to sleep as I'll miss an important plot point. Crtical roll is my breaking bad
At least Matthew Mercer’s initials also double for Mad Man, because you have to be insane to encourage the use of “The Deck”, it is literally attempting campaign suicide. I don’t know how they survived.
The 1 time I had a character interact with a Deck, I got 'Charmed' into pulling 3 cards. Ended up gaining a Frostbrand Bastardsword, the 4th level fighter sidekick, and gaining enough XP to go up to the next level. Then the person who charmed me pulled 1 card and got soul-stolen. The look on his face was priceless.
Caer Ibormeith Noah Antwiler of Counter Monkey has told the story of one player who had a deck of many things with 21 cards. 10 good, and 11 bad. He drew ten cards. The results? Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good... “It’s The Void. He dies.”
I feel like the best in-universe explanation they could give as to why Matt misinterpreted the first card Grog pulled would be to say that Grog pulled from the middle of the deck. That the card he pulled was the magic item one, and for a second it worked, but then the universe realized that this wasn’t right, and instead gave him the effect of the card that was on the top of the deck. The card he should have pulled was the one that cursed him, and the universe took away the magic item he got. Thus he “didn’t use it right”.
You know, I'm willing to buy that. It's entirely fitting that Grog would somehow manage to break reality while pulling out a card from the Deck and do it wrong to the point that the universe itself had to make a correction. If anyone managed to confuse the Deck of Many Things into giving him the effects of a card he didn't pull, it'd be Grog.
The deck of many things is one of my favorite items in all of dnd, usually having a DM that's lenient is nice too, but some just like to watch the world burn.
Ashley after coming out of character: What do you think? Liam after coming out of character: 20 sensible and 1 being ridiculous (aka don't fucking do it it's not worth it) Ashley: you are not here. Liam: THIS IS LIAM TALKING. Me: DO IT.
In my first game I played, I was 11 or so and the elf found a deck of many things and they wouldn't give it to me, the halfling priest that was super curious all the time. Did she save the party or not?
... Prrrrrrrobably...? Generally a Deck of Many Things is more of a chaotic neutral type deal. That deck could have given you amazing gifts or literally DESTROYED THE WORLD
It entirely depends on the order you get them, There are so many combinations and so many creative uses for them for both DM and player. No two card drops would be ever the same or simular.
@@TPBurrow oh no, I'm not just talking about picking 3 or 4, I'm talking about taking the whole deck & letting all the cards loose on the world at once
@@TPBurrow sure, if I ever get the chance in a one-shot, I wouldn't be willing nessessarily to risk a long running pc, for the most part.

Ok, so 0:54. Have you ever had coke shoot up through your nose and then suddenly get sucked down into your lungs in one motion? Yea, thats what happened to me at this point of this video.
question: what happens if one "inspects" a deck in an effort to ID it? what happens if you simply turn the entire deck over and view the bottom card? or hold the deck up to a reflective surface and see it?
Raska The Furry Maybe, if you have someone else drop the deck? That probably won’t work, though. It’s a magical artifact, so it is entirely possible that the nature of each card is not set until that card is drawn.
There's nothing in the official rules about it so maybe you can find a loophole. Though all the ways I'm thinking of would either be drawing, or just dropping the deck and hoping for the cards to spill everywhere. Personally though, I imagine that the cards ignores basic logic. You drop the deck? The deck stays together. I also like to imagine that because of it being a magical artifact, even if you know the exact order the cards are in... it's not guaranteed to be the card you expect since it shuffles. That's just how I imagine it anyway
I think I saw somewhere that says that you have to declare how many cards you're gonna draw, and if you pull more cards than you declare, it doesn't activate it's effect. That's why some cards say "You don't draw more cards" in case you pull that card first, but declared more.
if you decide or declare not to draw any cards but do anyway, you can look at them all and theyll do nothing. You could even reorder them. but I imagine when you decide to draw a card, no matter if it was reordered or not, the card you get is random, as if it switches places with a random other card as its drawn.
You can't force a card. Matt said that when the stranger (now lord of the quadroads) drew the card, that he put it back in the deck (though Grog later claimed the card disappeared in the stranger's hand). Even of Grog had just picked the same card that the stranger just put into the deck (he must first declare that he pulls a card), the deck would have randomized what card Grog had ended up with. If you look at them without declaring, nothing happens. If you organize them before drawing, the deck reorganizes itself. You cannot know what you are gonna draw, unless the dm homebrews a way to allow it. Designers have said that divination would just give cryptic clues about great risk, with great rewards or consequences.
Why is everyone on this show so attractive? Like even the guys very from big handsome dude to lil twink. Is Matt planning something? Is he the bbeg in real life?
"Why is everyone on this show so attractive?" I don't know if that was a serious question, but I'm going to answer it as if it was, regardless. And the answer is: they're all professional voice actors. Which really means they were all aspiring actors who found less fame but more security in doing voice-over work, so they made their careers doing that. And even aspiring actors tend to be attractive; Los Angeles is full of "beautiful people".
Lol deck of many..... don't forget when you find this deck you have to determine how many cards you will draw in total, then after a predetermined time any remaining cards automaticly draw themselves.
It would actually not count as drawing a card at all. Looking at the card does nothing, it is only when declaring that you draw a card that they have an effect. Doing so always randomizes what card you get, regardless of whether you organized them before, or pull out a card you just inserted into the deck
"I'm just afraid you'll pick a card and be all alone"
If only Pike knew...
Right!!
She did know. She saw Grog pick the card.
This makes me sad, and the fact that they didn’t remember this promise when they did the Search For Grog makes me sadder

"Come in!"
"H... What?..."
"Okay," *opens door*

Matt is literally the only GM I know who is mad enough to not only allow the Deck of Many Things to exist in his campaign but to encourage its use.
CHAOS! ENTROPY! MAYHEM!
I don't think he's _encouraged_ its use
Not to mention give it to the Goliath barbarian who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed
You don't know many GMs then
I outright want my players to make bad decisions, that's what gives the game some drama is the risk
Any competent DM will happily give out the deck, the main reason people don't give it is they fear it will ruin games but if you know what you are doing its not so bad and you can work around or with every possible outcome.
I just realized that even with the knowledge of how *NASTY* a Deck of Many Things can be, even the most experienced players are gonna be tempted to pull a card.

Even of Grog had just picked the same card that the stranger just put into the deck (he must first declare that he pulls a card), the deck would have randomized what card Grog had ended up with.
If you look at them without declaring, nothing happens. If you organize them before drawing, the deck reorganizes itself. You cannot know what you are gonna draw, unless the dm homebrews a way to allow it.
Designers have said that divination would just give cryptic clues about great risk, with great rewards or consequences.
Why are all the timestamps in the comments wrong?
what ep???
Why is everyone on this show so attractive? Like even the guys very from big handsome dude to lil twink. Is Matt planning something? Is he the bbeg in real life?
"Why is everyone on this show so attractive?"
I don't know if that was a serious question, but I'm going to answer it as if it was, regardless. And the answer is: they're all professional voice actors. Which really means they were all aspiring actors who found less fame but more security in doing voice-over work, so they made their careers doing that. And even aspiring actors tend to be attractive; Los Angeles is full of "beautiful people".
@@TheRealMichaelH ...so you’re saying that they’re shit real life actors.
@@wcthesecret No, you're the one who is saying that.
@@TheRealMichaelH but you just said they weren’t good enough for real life acting.
@@wcthesecret Please stop putting words in my mouth. I said exactly what I meant.
Lol deck of many..... don't forget when you find this deck you have to determine how many cards you will draw in total, then after a predetermined time any remaining cards automaticly draw themselves.
Can't do that deck some of the Trask that end game Boss that can't be killed?
Tarrasque. And maybe.
what would happen if you dropped the deck and it spilt across the floor? does this count as pulling all the cards?
It would probably result in the creation of a blue whale and a small bowl of petunias.
Hahahaha best response
It would actually not count as drawing a card at all. Looking at the card does nothing, it is only when declaring that you draw a card that they have an effect.
Doing so always randomizes what card you get, regardless of whether you organized them before, or pull out a card you just inserted into the deck
