SO I went through the comments and saw someone wrote Graham "I'm not married to Black," But you married Kathleen. While I was watching the stream he says this line and I watch Kathleen look at the camera as if she knew someone was commenting that comment lol!
My favorite limited format, bar none, was Rise of the Eldrazi. There was just so much going on in that format. From cool combo decks, the levelers, all the weird subthemes like defender, to people ramping into goshdarn Eldrazi, every single game was just utterly exciting. Sadly booster boxes are going for a ridiculous premium, since many others also consider it the best limited format of all time.
David B Oh and then the mana from the copy pays for another copy while the original is still on the stack? Wow. Okay, that does work, but not the way they described it.
That's actually not the case. With cards with X in the cost, X always = 0 towards cmc UNLESS its on the stack and X is = whatever you paid for X So Martial Coup has a cmc of 2 outside of the stack, for example, and then has a cmc of 7 on the stack if you paid 5 mana for X
our group prefers multiplayer, so I just adjusted my cube to be a multiplayer cube (like conspiracy, but better) and added a Commander cube variant to it as well. We're playing it saturday so hopefully it'll be freakin sweet!!!!
TheZangetsu322 Not quite right. The CMC of Martial Coup is 2 in every zone UNLESS it's on the stack because the X is set as the spell is announced and is added to the overall cost. If X is 5 then the CMC is 7. You can do some tricks with this; for instance if you need to use Engineered Explosives to destroy cards with CMC 2, but are afraid of Spell Snare, you can set X=3 but only use two different colors to cast it. It gets two counters but the CMC was 3 while it was being cast.
Warp World if fun, the problem is that people play it at the worst possible moments and I would know, as I play it. Most recently in my Temur deck, removed it, since I'm trying to make it into pure Dragon. I intend to make a mono red devotion shenanigans commander. WW is going straight into that. Funny thing though, whenever I played it against one of my friends, I usually had a bad board and he was rolling in gold and I somehow was able to make it worse for myself and actually kinda better for him.
What's your G/W commander Graham? Always been and end up being a G/W or Naya guy, so I'm interested in what you run.. I'm the warp.. etc world guy ;-; it's group hug, but I'm slowly trying to not be That guy >.>
On the part of unfair commander cards I play an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck and I play 2 cards everyone in my group hates, Serra Ascendant and Felidar Sovereign.
DarrackMan237 Those two in particular are just not okay. I think they should be on the ban list already, if not for the sheer rarity of both cards. I used to have both but since dumped them for more trade value. You're already playing Oloro, don't be more of a dick. I've seen Chalice of Life provoke three permanent grudges and an Insurrection for 59.
Here is some magic Christmas land for you guys at LRR looking at triad of fates you have some sort of orzhov token deck you put a fate counter on a 1/1 sprite token or something that is completly usless the you pay a black exile it and draw 2 cards for your seemingly half a card
I feel the need to comment nicely, maybe even creepily towards Kathleen. I feel this need because I play magic, and have never lain with a beautiful woman before... Join my clan Kathleen ily! That aside are their any tips for new players looking to work with blue? Any blue deck I try to build just completely sucks. All my friends are new too and have better cards than me, but my decks always win. Just anything I try to do with blue is way too weak against decks that really are not strong at all. Is mono blue like impossible to make a sweet deck out of? Out of current cards, I mostly only have Dragons of Tarkir cards.
If you're looking for a decent Standard deck, you cannot build A mono color deck. This new block lends itself to two or three color decks. Since you want to build a blue deck, I would assume you would have a decent number of counterspells. A great archetype in the new set is blue-black control. Blue cards you would want to play in this our basic counter spells and card draw spells. With black, cards you would want to run are removal cards. These usually deal direct damage to creatures or players. Some even gain life for you. Here is a basic deck list you can build for about $100. Instant (20) 3x Disdainful Stroke 4x Dissolve 4x Hero's Downfall 2x Negate 4x Silumgar's Scorn 3x Ultimate Price Land (26) 4x Dismal Backwater 8x Island 9x Swamp 4x Temple of Deceit 1x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Creature (7) 2x Dragonlord Silumgar 3x Icefall Regent 2x Silumgar, the Drifting Death Sorcery (7) 3x Crux of Fate 4x Duress This deck focuses heavily on instants. These are mostly comprised of removal and counterspells. This deck isn't too creature focused, but in the late game, big dragons will often when you're the game when you don't have many spells.

"i'm not married to black"
But you married Kathleen that's about the same? :P
Hey Kathleen, try Artificer's Hex in your black deck to deal with Behemoth Sledge.
I love your podcasts! one of the only ones I actually listen too!
I'm all for Scrubland being the home of TTC
'broadcasting from scrubland' seemed a bit un satisfyingly short.. ;p
It's because usually they say what plane the land is on.
Beckett Cary-Green On the plane of Dominaria? XD
They also did island

Rattleclaw Mystic, Den Protector and Deathmist Raptor are all seeing play in standard, as well as a few others in much smaller numbers.

Core set! that made me laugh a lot!
The "combo" at 14:30 doesn't work, because the spell would have to resolve before it could be copied. I guess that's why I've never heard of it!
JakesFavorites It does work, you just need enough mana to copy it the first time.
David B Oh and then the mana from the copy pays for another copy while the original is still on the stack? Wow. Okay, that does work, but not the way they described it.
Splice onto Aurochs needs to be a thing.
Any chance we could get a list for that pauper cube?
There's a mailbag? I MUST SEND YOU THINGS!
The X in a cards CMC just counts as 1 to its mana cost, so martial coup is always considered a 3 CMC card when it matters.
That's actually not the case. With cards with X in the cost, X always = 0 towards cmc UNLESS its on the stack and X is = whatever you paid for X
So Martial Coup has a cmc of 2 outside of the stack, for example, and then has a cmc of 7 on the stack if you paid 5 mana for X
***** thanks for the clarification! i did not know that.
All good :)
I won my Journey Into Nyx Game Day playmat with a Bearer of the Heavens combo deck. BotH has a special place in my MtG play experience.
I find that I tend to like "triple" sets more than other one. More card redundancy made it easier to craft corner case decks.
How about a Podcast of some crazy combos?
For the Helm: Not combat damage, just damage.
I
Oh wow I've known about counter top for a few years... I NEVER GOT THE NAME!!! i thought it was just easier to say...
dtk nicknames?
Best pun ever
Can you give advice for a player that started with DTK
the last kor-set jajajajaajajajajajajajajajajajajaja. I dont know waht make me laugth, if the pun or the guys reaction.
our group prefers multiplayer, so I just adjusted my cube to be a multiplayer cube (like conspiracy, but better) and added a Commander cube variant to it as well. We're playing it saturday so hopefully it'll be freakin sweet!!!!
RaiTsuka do you have a list? id love to see a good multiplayer cube
hey guys, what if players took simultaneous turns?
Graham when you cast an (X) spell you don't count the (X) in the cmc, like for Martial Coup if (X) is 5 the cmc for Martial Coup is still 2
TheZangetsu322 Not quite right. The CMC of Martial Coup is 2 in every zone UNLESS it's on the stack because the X is set as the spell is announced and is added to the overall cost. If X is 5 then the CMC is 7.

I'm assuming alex loves commander in Friday nights because nobody knows about highlander.
well great since its combat damage, 99 land borborygmos doesnt work :'(
