  • @hiimemily

    Not sure if this is entirely acceptable, but Guardians of Meletis could be "Gays of Granite".

    • @deathpyre42

    You were looking for a way to break Woodland Bellower? Travis Woo came up with a really neat combo, which really just needs 2 pieces to go off, even if the whole combo involves 7 pieces total.
    Step 0 - You need to already have a Painter's Servant in play, naming green.
    Step 1 - Cast Woodland Bellower
    Step 2 - Search for your now green Phantasmal Image
    Step 3 - Have it enter the battlefield as a copy of Woodland Bellower
    Step 4 - Repeat until you get you last Phantasmal Image
    Step 5 - With the last Image, search for Hellraiser Goblin to give your 5 Woodland Bellowers haste and swing for the win.

  • @WindyDelcarlo
    @WindyDelcarlo 9 років тому

    Guys, the reason Nissa's Revelation shows Emrakul is because when Nissa ascended to planeswalker status, she saw Emrakul trapped in Akoum. Her mind was attacked by this dark power of the Eldrazi and she sparked.

  • @danrosart5949

    Herald of the Pantheon is Bargain Harold, both because he discounts enchantments and because that was the name of a Canadian dollar store chain. (That went out of business in 1991.)

  • @Drecon84
    @Drecon84 9 років тому

    Hallowed moonlight is probably the best to just yell out: "Hellooooo Moonlight" (animaniacs style). It's not particularly clever, but it works.
    Also, Jhessian Thief is just "Jessie" in my book, because I love her (don't tell my girlfriend please)
    The card you wanted with Woodland Bellower is Invasive Species. Some people played that with Demonic Pact at the Pro Tour.

  • @kjpodsia

    Because of the tendency to add an "n" to her name (as Paul did), Iroas's Champion = “Richiiiiie's iiiiin troubllllle!” (Richie Rich)

    With regard to Skysnare Spider, I see it fit to paraphrase Cam with "That spider is the size of a house, it can have as many legs as it wants." ........and I personally thing it has 14 legs.

  • @highroller5335
    @highroller5335 9 років тому

    I like going face with chandra and just calling the sides based on how many times "damage" shows up on the card. so young chandra is "damage, damage, damage" and the flip side is "damage, damage, damage, damage."

    Mage RIng Network is more like the Intergalactic Gate Bridge from Stargate instead of a single gate (The network of connected gates they built to travel between the Milky Way and Pegasus before Earth had ships with a hyperdrive).

  • @DHAnsgar
    @DHAnsgar 9 років тому +1

    Yeah, I was expecting Prowless for the Ringwarden Owl.
    Also, is it for sure that Chandra doesn't have to use her ping ability at all in order to have her flip? I've been hearing so many different rulings on it.

    • @SamanthaVess
      @SamanthaVess 9 років тому

      DHAnubis You have to use it at least once, because the transform is part of her ping ability.

    • @DHAnsgar
      @DHAnsgar 9 років тому

      Samantha Burt
      Thats what I had thought, but I'd heard people saying they can just use stuff like fight cards or Ignition and they word it like that would just auto flip her.

    • @Peeja
      @Peeja 9 років тому

      +DHAnubis You do still have to use the ping, but since you can use it at instant speed, you get to flip her "immediately" (and if the spell you start with is Red, you even get to untap her first if she's been tapped down). But yeah, I've noticed people skip over that too.

  • @michaelhunker6025

  • @patrickinverness
    @patrickinverness 9 років тому

    Kolaghan's Command is actually a modal spell, and you choose the modes when you cast it--that means that copying it with Goggles will lock you into the same two modes, just with possibly different targets.

    • @Gulyus
      @Gulyus 9 років тому

      patrickinverness
      This is what I came here to say.
      Modal spells (IE all of the commands) do not technically go on the stack as the card you cast. The spell goes on the stack with the text of the modes chosen.
      In other words, if you cast Kolaghan's Command and choose "Target player discards a card" and "KC deals 2 damage to target creature or player" then the spell on the stack is KC with just the text "Target player discards a card, then KC deals 2 damage to target creature or player." This is the reason that you can only copy those modes.
      If you want to check btw;
      gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=394613
      "If a Command is copied, the effect that creates the copy will usually allow you to choose new targets for the copy, but you can’t choose new modes."
