with uh you know dusk morning pre-release kits and so tune in for that it's going to be all day next Friday okay what's this what's going on here wheeler uhuh C okay so there you all heard that and let's play all right what are we doing this is an autobattler Cube I'm going to be looking at my phone because there's so much to read but I think it's genuinely straightforward once you get going yeah for those watching in on uh twitch you can there's a link uh that you can follow along or read uh the uh the the rules as well but for the benefit of those who are listening what's going on great so uh this is Ryan Sax's Auto battler Cube it is a cube that looks to emulate the experience of Auto Battlers or Auto chests such as team fight tactics or Hearthstone Battlegrounds or macellum what yeah Mecha Bellum yeah never heard of it um with magic cards uh the way the game works is a lot like an auto battler uh there's a loop between drafting cards and then playing those cards in a mini game so we're not playing full matches of Magic the Gathering we are playing effectively best of one fights with 10 points of life um where the loser gets a poison counter and when you get 10 poison counters you lose the game that amount of poison is going to go up as we continue through the game and go through other rounds and we'll get to that when we get to that uh let's follow the document here and uh get started and then we can kind of slowly get into playing this okay so the setup uh we each have a certain hand size of three which means that uh we are going to play this little mini game with three cards that we have so Ed to bring to this fight um you can have up to more cards uh I guess as the game goes on but we're starting with three um and we have a sideboard for any of the cards that we're not using so I'm going to give everybody a treasure token one for you one for you one for you one for me I'm going to ask that everybody pick five cards from their Cube so to be clear this is a single Cube these aren't individual decks we could grab from any pile we just divided into four CU it was too big I mean what if I do take one from over here sure I'll take one from here and one from here as well almost hit my water uh the cards I'm grabbing from other decks are are bad I'm just going to stick to mine now I don't have a translation guide but I think that most of the non-english cards in here are somewhat recognizable if they are not I also don't know how much that matters like of that know of knowing what another player's cards are right now we're going to get to the drafting portion so the way that this works is that uh we are going to draft then fight then draft then fight then draft then fight and that is going to be I guess a round um this will be relevant as we continue along and increment some of the resources that we have so for the drafting portion uh we have a shop of sorts so each player is going to grab another five cards from the cube uh keep these separate from your hand uh I guess I'm going to say take four from there and I'm going to take one from this pile one two three four five these are much better yeah same uh if you would like to draft one of these cards you have to swap it with a card in your current pool so right now we have five and five uh so it's there's not a huge amount of cards to pull from because this is literally the first draft that we are doing uh but then as we start adding more cards to our pool then we are going to have more options and try to really sculpt a deck of sorts right so how how does how does mana work like because we still have to cast these great question Graham uh so we're going to have these Treasures right there are lands that you can get in the cube but once we are done picking our cards uh we are then going to each receive uh an additional treasure as well as three basic lands of our choice okay and we're going to put them face down okay like that's that's what we're going to start with right is these lands so like if something has a prohibitive Mana cost then probably not great here right if I may make a recommendation all right all right I have selected cards me too although maybe that's interesting can I ask a procedural question we're each going to have five cards that we don't want anymore yeah what should we do with them uh I am going to say that these cards are just going to get put onto the bottom of our piles do we want a bottom or do we want a discard so they don't come back uh I mean part of these games is that you will see some of these cards again I mean if you really want to I would say just Shuffle them just sure yeah sounds good just doesn't have to be too much just a little light Shuffle once we are all done drafting of course this part of it because this is the first time as we go through the instructions a little bit slower but uh once we we're literally just doing the same thing over and over and over again right the idea being that all the cards that you didn't draft are going back into the pool that you might see later or that your opponents will see later right and then unlike other Auto Battlers this is Singleton there's not multiples correct I can't get like two lanoir elves or three lanoir elves in turn into what's the the literal three L elves stapled together yeah right and like upgrade it cuz I thought when you first pitched I thought it'd be really interesting if they had it was the legendary creatures that have like upgraded versions of themselves like Bor rmos turns into Bor Brios enraged or something like that you know but that might involve a whole bunch of weirder things going on in the brain you know yes that's a funny idea it's like it's like a magic version of like threes yeah right so we all have five cards we all have one treasure and then we pick three of these and that's our starting hand uh yes well first off now that we are done the drafting portion uh and before we are paired although for this round to make it easier on folks uh we are going to start with a pairing of Nelson and myself and Graham and surge okay uh each player receives an additional treasure one that that that uh and then each player alongside that treasure gets three basic lands of their choice uh I am going to I guess this can be private but uh I don't know this and this dealer hit me with three swamps three swamps oh boy uh Mountain a swamp and of plains uh I'll get the gram yeah three color we mardu in it so these go face down yeah I mean I think this part might need to be random but for the sake or doesn't need to be but like you know for the sake of our setup uh so now we each have two treasures and we have three basic glands um each player selects their starting hand from their pool uh so we are going to select the the starting hand sizes three for this one uh we're going to se select three cards from our pool for this round the rest go into our sideboard uh once we start adding more cards to our pool the sideboard is going to act as like the place that we reserve cards for future rounds um because after we have selected our starting hand we don't have any Library just in case people are wondering about that at home and you don't lose the game for not being able to draw a card uh and F's Oracle is not in I was about to say I cast Oracle no uh play players select up to nine cards from the remaining card pool as their sideboard so again we've selected three the rest go to our sideboard uh and then everything that is not in your sideboard or your starting hand gets turned into Treasures then we are paired thly so now we get to start uh the magic mini game is played just like a normal game of magic except 10 life starting hand size equal number of energy or the the round I guess don't lose the game loser of the Min game get a poison counter if it's aw both and the player with the most poison counters gets to choose play or Draw or it's TI it's so we got a D6 to make sure who goes first here between Nelson and I I'm sure I R an 11 on 12 come on I'm sure that Paul is seen your comments about the audio and is frantically working on it okay yeah double wheeler oh should I just not talk until I can talk should be fine now you're good great okay uh so now we're going to play this mini game at the end of this mini game players with treasures on their side of the battlefield get to keep up to one treasure for each uh energy so for whatever round it is it's it's round three uh or sorry we we start with three okay um so we get to keep up to three Treasures that we have uh in play um and then after this uh we each get a random card from the cube okay so this is how we start to add more cards to uh the pile so uh shall we fight for our our yeah how do how do these lands work uh they're just here oh okay okay they're just face they're just face down PR opponents don't don't see them and then they start the game in Play that seems like an important question this this is what it says three basic land choices on the battlefield face down so Earth to Jordan in chat to clarify there should only be one treasure at the start of game one oh okay great well then we only have one Tri okay this makes it easier uh okay good luck good luck okay you're taking the first turn so let's talk about the treasure this is both a game object in the game of magic and a metagame part for the cube so you can use it to accelerate your turn one or to reshuffle a draft yes yeah you can use them to uh roll to get a new pack basically and it will also persist between games correct uh assert up to a a limit you can't just float like a million Treasures yeah no casting 12 drops until later or whatever but I would like to cast a three drop okay turn one we play a blade splicer blade splicer let me get you a Golem there buddy we have the Cur there maybe we should move these uh trigger I'm going to make a 33 fxing Golem and I'm going to pass uh for you thank you he's got four four power turn one yeah all flashing philia exuberant shepher oh that's pretty good it's a dog yeah and then I'll untap and attack you and Exile your Golem my Golem is exile uh I will take two go down to eight I got you I got you beep boop well that kind of bricks my strategy what a start uh I'm going to try attacking you for one no blocks I'm going to play a generous plunderer oo uh two two Menace getting of my upkeep I can create a treasure token if I do you get a tap treasure token and when it attacks it deals damage to the defending player equal number of artifacts they control okay uh then I'm gonna pass yeah I'll untap um dog dog and like Treasures the the treasures that you're given at the beginning of the game aren't different from Treasures that are generated during the game I guess yeah that's what I was asking there's a ton of treasure generation in here so that you can actually like make plays that also um will help your economy me what a cool idea I'll attack and Exile your generous plunderer with faila my plunderer is exiled I take another two take two down to six uh plunderer comes back yeah upkeep uh I'm going to make a treasure token and then treasure you got to tap treasure okay great uh I'm going to tap two and play a luminarch aspirant luminar oh that's a good one that's a very good one okay thinking uh oh you got D6 yeah I'll cast swords to flashers targeting your luminar cast BR all right it's Excel so wheeler now has no cards in hand yeah Nelly still has one card in hand yes I don't know where my graveyard is uh I would like to go to combat um did you get the health for the plushers yeah y okay yeah that's fine I'm going to attack with these two uh when this attacks uh you're going to take damage equal number of artifacts you have take two and I take three more so I take five total so that's seven and then takes three more down to four uh go ahead okay untap draw um your treasure is also unta oh yeah that's important that's important I'll cast oh I guess just like this works I'll cast Prismatic ending targeting the generous plunderer okay so I'll Exile that and then I'll Attack for two and Exel nothing so now we got ourselves a good oldfashioned race here well I attack down to three Nelson attacks me down to three down to three and then I attack him down to two two heack down to one I attack him down to one he he kills you and it's sort of deterministic at a certain point so all right cu no wait no now that's the end of the game and we have these two Treasures here so those can stay right we keep the treasure and then does something else happen wheer gets one poison counter one poison counter and then we each get a random card from the cube okay and this just goes into our pool goes into our pool no no you you count you counted life back up and then I'll take the basic lands back okay sure uh and then uh we got wingus and Dingus over here all right thank you hello Graham hello uh you rolled a seven I can do better than that I rolled a six turns out I cannot in fact do better than that love that good luck have fun thanks you too um slick SHOT show off are you plotting that or I'm casting okay uh it's got haste I hit you for one uh I cast this member and kill it okay that was my entire plan so awkward cheers no I'm absolutely ruined if you kill that well so there is a rule that you're not supposed to I know no it's fine also surge might have a way to like make treasure tokens yeah I know okay we find out uh I'm going to lead with a blackmail uh show me randomly up to three cards in your hand and I get to discard one of them uh you have a helix which is removal spell and a grim monolith I think I I think this was a turn two kill nice oh otherwise Yeah well yeah cuz this hits you for one yeah and then next turn I play Grim monolith into this this this becomes five and three from this oh so big yeah uh and then I have to just show a way to kill you uh my threat is emperor of Bones great isn't it just a draw cuz he can kill that oh no you take the removal spell with the black yeah I take the removal SP but then he can Flash it back flashback I do a flashback Ian it is a draw uh at the beginning your Comon turn up Exile up to one Target card from a graveyard okay okay yeah so I I I discard it you make me discard this and then play I go to combat I Exile it and then I beat well I play Grim monolith nice all right so Graham takes one poison close one yep uh get poison all right so the Nelly surge side of the table is looking a lot better here uh we both go up to we both go up to two treasure we did win round one is that correct we get a treasure oh okay yeah uh did we get a treasure the game I'm noticing you both have two Treasures but that's CU I play a treasure card yeah oh okay those happened in the game yeah and now we take a random card and we add it to our sideboard pool yeah okay well yeah to your pool great now we do that a couple more times okay uh is there is there a round where other wait that was the round or was there supposed to be a third game uh are you supposed to play no no not yet so we we have the m now we draft and then I'm going to fight either you orge uh and then after that match we draft again and then we'll fight who we hav fought it's only ever two or whatever we're going to draft in between each time you play the and so now the next thing is we have six cards yes we draft five yes but we never go above six or under six this always stays six correct just one yeah yeah okay and then Earth to Jordan says you do gain one treasure at the start of the round not at the end okay so we get one more I thought it was yeah between each drafting I thought we were going to go up a card and up a treasure all right uh these are all bad I think it's just a card so and then when does our we just said you're getting a treasure now too you're going to get a treasure well at the beginning not at the end at the start of the game play yes yes so not now oh the start of the game not the start of the draft okay thank you all right all right um thank you very interesting is it always three Basics we get yeah okay so I guess you can grab you can just grab five and then just make sure you put five back right yeah so the only way you can cast High Mana cost cards is by saving up your Treasures yeah I saw this card in pack one and I got rid of it well you said you wanted to see things come back nothing changes um I have a card in German yeah um you know what it does I believe I do just wanted everyone to know that there are in fact wheeler classic German foils in the cube one of these so when does Our Deck become more than three cards uh after every round of like we've played against each other it increments up to four energy so then our starting hand is four cards okay I have five cards that I'm putting back I have five cards that I'm putting back you can translate it well I can also always just put it on the card reader and get the English text but then everybody knows they know but thank you all right okay put your CS back my deck has not gotten noticeably better I just need you to know that and then these are on the these going to the bottom you Shuffle it in oh yeah so there's a chance that you reach TR sick Myck is sick we're okay all right so now everybody's pool is uh six cards and your and your hand is five card or hand is three cards yeah three still or sorry you you just asked this okay still three all right uh may I have three swamps again please which means that even though you saw the other person's game it won't necessarily they don't necessarily have the three exact same three cards as they had before I'm taking JN that's my sideboard which you need three ples I love these face down lands I would also like jund are you going to jund them out oh we'll see I kind of think it's funny if it's if just the colors are revealed like it add are like oh jeez what are they right what are they up to what's different also yeah there has to be kind of a little um concession for the viewership mhm yeah uh so now we get to decide who is fighting who yeah Wheeler's got no blade splicer we know this Pass me6 unless the thing is you could be casting your blade splicer on Treasure it's true you know what that's true a I fight Graham even I fight search sure uh I'm going to fight surge which means that Graham will fight Nelson yeah sounds good and then you have more poison so you automatically get to go first so at the start of the turn we both get a treasure yes I'm I am the treasure keeper okay uh I am going to play a tarian Academy I guess this one I could put on the yeah all right I guess appropriately uh Academy Von oh my man let's go okay couldn't go to a more deserving person then I'm going to uh pass sick draw for the turn haha just kidding blackmail oh right you have blackmail no I forgot you have BL your discard oh I have a veral and a chaos defile all right let me look at them both please you have creature creature got and now he's going to Emperor bones you to yeah no no no I can scavenge this chaos toiler well no cuz all right I take the chaos defer he's going to give you the bones yeah all right he gets and then I get to cast the Emperor of bones okay and then I get to immediately go to combat and Exile your card okay yep yep yep yep so I win all right wheeler is at to infect I'm yeah this is I'm just getting okay yeah all right so the game is over y uh we both add a card to our pool yes get just to double check there wasn't any chance to for somebody to cast a uh treasure or something during that game that you skipped through right no no no no se they lowkey played the whole game yeah yeah yeah that's what a whole game of magic looks like I do like that the tarian academy has like the endowment of it's like the treasure is like the Academy's endowment that gives it the amount of Mana it can cast I'm just building up a lose streak so that I get interest right get more money next round right and speaking of another treasure for so one last question during cleanup what is the maximum amount of treasure you can have because you said it cap equal to the number of the round basically three three okay the game uses energy like the descriptor says like put an energy counter with the the round timer on there so you can always refer to that that's how many that's your hand size uh and that's how much treasure you can uh roll over I guess yes I'm econ yeah gotcha so you can go first if you want unless you don't want to I do wish to I wish to do that all right so right slick SHOT show off slick SHOT show off right it's back on the escalator right I'm casting it not plotting it okay um move to combat you got it I attack uh no blocks take one okay Right Nelly is at nine i h the right left total I and one philia thank you for some reason it's really hard for me remember put on the card reader with these four Stacks around the card yeah on tap attack for two yep I'll Exile your show off and it comes back though yeah it comes back cool go ahead yeah I want to draw priming magic players with their favorite thing exactly yeah you just have to remember you get to draft again soon yeah it's like even better than drawing a card it's drafting yes yeah yeah yeah don't worry the draft it's coming we just have to finish this game uh yeah I think I got to use treasure so I will oh four Manas yep uh smiting Helix targeting targeting you targeting me yeah three damage to Target Nelly three life gain yeah that so Nelly goes to six okay trigger on show off yeah combat uh sorry I'll respond to the trigger and it all right I'm use my last treaser okay legal's quick refle we got the legal quick reflexes so it gains hex proof and reach and whenever it becomes tapped deals damage equal to its power to a creature okay so does it get another prowess trigger that too does yeah so it's five power currently so I attack legless is quick reflexes trigger deals five damage to filia and this is coming at you what's how big is it it's a 52 flying hex proof reach oh wait treas is this in response to the trigger targeting failure is your dog dead the first thing yeah responding to that trigger I'll put the dog in the graveyard when it dieses y I'll cast rest angel angel Restoration Angel on Top This failo mhm don't get it killed excuse me sorry okay so it's a 52 yeah and I'm at what and you're at what you are at six and gr's at 11 so am I supposed to block probably because otherwise I'll just lose to that SMY Helix right you can Target me mhm how much does it cost to flashback two okay will red and white I believe this is a draw it looks like a draw does yeah because then gr kills the dog and then yeah do you have another oh no you don't have another card either oh but he doesn't have the we to flash back to smiting he oh you don't yeah right cuz I used my treasure so then when dog dog dog dog yep man our side of the table still looking pretty hot over here stop talking about it all right yeah me too yeah okay so end of the round RAM and I each get a random card yes yeah you got Basics I'm going to take Serge de too you just win you want these back I thought i' just leave them here are you're going to keep using them well unless my draft I mean I that's fine yeah we can do that I actually did I oh God I'm so smart all right I brought enough Basic Land so that we could each have uh three of each three of each incredible someone suggested that in chat just to speed things up uh all right would we like to draft yeah let's do it all right let's draft I keep seeing this stupid oh I don't like this pile anymore stop this card this card's in the cube but I put the other card that combos with it away uh close your eyes please what in the world old are you I'm opening them again I'm not looking card reader it's a depletion land what's a depletion L comes into a play tapped with two depletion counters tap remove a counter from it add two of that color okay so it could do that twice yeah but it comes in Tapped sure um I'm just going to take these five and shuffle them back in yeah you could reshuffle with your uh oh I can spend a treasure Paul you're so smart you can spend a sh to reshuffle I'm actually going to roll too sucks yeah this pack is awful all right I think I'm going to keep this thing for combo potential right so that's why you get your treasure thank you that's why you get your treasure at the beginning of gameplay so you can't necessarily use using using both my treasures and losing sucks yeah sorry Graham that's okay you're you're playing the game oh good cards what you're not allowed to have those and so we will start next turn with four is that correct four cards uh after this round yeah so one more one more round at three energy and then we bump does it bump up to four energy then uh yes now are we this is kind of unclear to me whether we're supposed to make sure that every round of three you play everyone or if it's supposed to just be like truly random every game like are we just supposed to be rolling the dice like after each time we draft no we we play You're supposed to go through the so this time that this time it's you two and me and we oh my God my deck sucks my plan sucks my hair whack my clothes tired whack his fit whack um I like your matching two-piece oh no I do as well oh no yes it's quite it's quite nice I'm not talking about me obviously no why would I my fit's not whack his so here's a question uh a very specific timing question yeah when you know you're in a match up can you sideboard like after the five cards are put back and you build your deck is there a chance to be like Oh I'm against Graham I knew last time he played legolas's reflex and can I make a change at that point when I know the matchup or no uh in this point you can because the matchup is the last part of the deck building process so you make your main board and then your sideboard and you get the excess treasure and all that um but there's still the opportunity for you to fight any one of us however at this point in the game I know I'm fighting Graham you know you're fighting Nelson so you can I know I'm fighting Nelson yes cuz Nelson is the only person you have not fought my dear boy that's true curious okay and still on three card handing Earth to Jordan Earth to Jordan are you the the the the person who did the rules up or are you just into this I'm I'm just I'm just curious anyway they say You're supposed to build the hand before yeah yeah yeah you're supposed to build the hand before but also playing but we know in this place we know who we're fighting you know it's it's you up against the dog so in a under normal procedure could you random into the same pairings each time or no my guess is no because that's also just not how it how Auto Battlers work yeah they try to PA you against different people and auto Battlers but the first thing is to try to get people to who are at about the same level so sometimes you end up playing against like two alternating people several rounds in a row in a group of eight so Captain SP said wouldn't it be wild if Earth Jordan was just making up rules I mean that's you that's why I asked no offense to you Earth Jordan but I'm like who are you yeah do you do I believe you I don't know right you'd be surprised how often that does happen just people are like oh it's this you're like oh really how'd you know they're like I don't know that wouldn't surprise me at all if they the original if they the originator of the they did literally make up rules but there there's Ryan sax hey Ryan hold our hands Ryan all right all right we ready to rock and roll I have I have my three card deck assigned I have my three lands that you totally don't know about ready oh yeah can I get two ples in a swamp a swamp yes he changed one card maybe uh teamer please oh oh Graham changed many cards or did I this slick SHOT show off is going to kill someone I feel like it's good for this this thing right um okay uh so we both have the same amount of poison counters so we randomize girl first do we and we get treasure H or even uh odd all right you go or you choose so now wheeler is white white white he was juned last time and he played at tarian Academy and he played atarian Academy to in Academy turn all right uh I'm going to tap it for three four five six and use a treasure uh to cast chassler or oh I sorry I'm also revealing that I have a I forgot I revealed this so uh the first spell you cast this game is counter unless you pay one gross okay and now it's a 56 flyer that says whenever you cast a spell counter it unless you pay one this is a classic three card blind and then that's a go right um and that's the it's the first spell I cast this game and then is the is the first part of that and then the second one is just a flat tax on stuff yes yeah all your stuff is going to cost one more and the first one's going to cost two more okay cool uh in with that with with with the angel on the stack then uh I'm going to cast three sponton Elber is instant right yes cool I'm G to stomp your face okay oh uh two damage to Wheeler's face okay okay so now we've used up the trigger yeah yeah so now it's just the static ability static cool which like still sucks because y I've only got the one treasure uh Ryan for what it's worth I tried to I tried joining the Discord and all the links were down well I gotta TR I would like to join the Discord I got to try for it and maybe I'll just get owned by using my treasure again but uh kite sale list uh I would like for your chanler to become a treasure okay and lose all of its abilities oh what a draw yeah go ahead he's changed so many cards from his if the game ends right now is wheer allowed to keep that Chancellor in play and then spend it to roll later uh I have this blade sper again and uh I make a Golem okay um I'm going to pass so Grand has one unknown card and a 4-3 that could come down later very curious very curious I do believe I'm dead and you're out of cards right yeah okay if it's a flyer then so can win I will yeah I will oh is that thing flying this thing is flying oh yeah I'm dead okay yeah we dead for uh just on just on pure math race uh you have a flyer you 43 can block this Golem but yeah I'll Attack for two okay so wheeler goes to six play the giant okay yeah go ahead doesn't this have first strike it does okay but it do trade but it it changes the math enough I can't I can't race and if I just hold this to block I just die to this F so can't answer the flyer right I was all in on this Chancellor hopefully uh doing something you played a ramp strategy I kind of like it uh do you I I am going to F6 so you can't concede oh yeah do you want to make another treasure or something like oh uh you ready to win no I just do I do we is this like a reveal the other cards that you have just if you want to if you want to yeah you you win on board right now you keep a card secret no I don't I don't have anything that gets me treasure wheeler at three poison the example in the in the rules documented is like sailor of means like if you have a sailor of means your opponent's not allowed to concede Before You cast it so you get your treasure right that makes sense okay Serge we're both at zero points we have to roll right all right so you got PLS PL swamp uh I am team even on you go first all right so last time let's each got a treasure yeah yes last time Nelly had swords philia Resto Angel and I built knowing that but you have a black Splash now which is very interesting right yeah I'm trying to decide whether I do this or that or that I do know my hexeris from my sponton zabber that's why I double checked I was like sponton zabber is instant all right maybe I will learn something but I'm just going to cast this lingering Souls so I need two spirit tokens hell yeah no I'm not certain that this was not entirely sure how I was supposed to play this hand knowing that Serge is probably on blackmail um obviously winning the die roll was cash but wait what happened here but I still don't know if there's a way for me to play around everything perfectly okay so he played lingering Souls Two one ones and that's potentially what your black is so my guess then is your deck is lingering Souls failure sorts to plow share where are our normal Spirits oh that's the I was looking in the wrong section those are the gold ones uh that very well could be my deck I'm I'm going to guarantee with you or sorry guarantee you 100% I'm playing lingering Souls your turn thank you cheers for later you have treasure treasure okay so if I hand attack you everything is fine okay your souls are fine yeah my turn great I'm going to cast blackmail do you have a response f no okay what do you want to take you have swords failure sick what do you want to take uh I would like to take swords okay swords is in your graveyard I'm going to cast emperor of Bones sure uh like turn it towards you I'd like to go to combat and Exile your lingering Souls yeah I got Souls it's super bad I am going to pass to you on tap yes attack for two I go to eight go untap draw for the turn haha uh I wonder what his third card is wonder if he's just running back the same package I'm going to go to combat yeah and Exile your swords to plow share I take two all right you go to eight pass sure I'll cast the dog all right I will cast a force of Despair destroy all creatures that enter the battlefield this turn sure you got it oh okay so now I think I deterministically win you win yeah because we can go through it if you want to yeah yeah yeah so you hit me for two I go to six sure and then we untap actually think I'm supposed to only attack for one cuz I'm just dead right yeah so I'm at seven and then what happens on my turn I go to combat I Exile your failure and then I adapt two and when plus one plus one counters come in here I get your dog yeah and then I attack you for four yeah can't this attack too doesn't it have a haste or something yeah I can attack yeah yeah you attack me for like eight right well I attack this and I Exile your UNT you can Exile my guy yeah yeah and then so I hit you for six oh I thought this was going to be a 44 sorry I forgot there's so many boards in this card yeah um that's fine yeah you hit me for six I lose six yeah and now I'm at one and you does this go away it has a finality counter on it wild yeah and your bones is messed up yeah serg deck is also very good so yeah I swapped uh single Target removal for force of Despair that's chill yeah I don't know if I could like I won the die roll I chose this deck I'm not sure if I could have played it better like I can I can just like spam the entire leg your souls and lose my treasures well I was wondering about the treasure stuff cuz if you'd used your Treasures on the turn that I was Tapped Out for force of Despair I can't beat that one it does this doesn't change anything emperor of Bones is not it's not just a finality counter it also goes away at the end of turn sure you get filia once I still win that oh you still win I'm just you do only get feel the creature once yeah whenever one or more plus one plus one counters are put on emperor of Bones put a creature card exiled with it onto the battlefield under your control the finality counter it gains haste then sacrifice at the beginning of the end step okay so cool good to know all right okay one extra card I I get a poison counter already thank you and then you and I each get a card yeah Emperor bones known dog stealer yeah all right sick so now we have completed a round right uh which means we are now up to a maximum hand size of four sick so now we now we go shopping and is it still three basic lands or does that also go up to four it's always three basic lands three basic lands and uh treasure oh no oh my God uh this is a pile of cards God that's so rude those were all Bearer good one thank you I don't get it but okay Undertaker's manager he was the guy that my Undertaker surge Soundwave that's not a common one Babylon surely okay sorry that's going that's that's going into the soundboard though colorless man this doesn't help me y' yo all right okay I have to put two of these back I feel bad about this it's going to be you you never get more than three LS huh yeah well you can draft LS you can play them yeah exactly you can draft L wish I had thrown back that uh Cavern of souls oh uncounterable no one there we have not other than the blue we saw in your deck we have not seen blue used for blue obviously wheeler did an academy Shenanigans but I put back a uh I put back like force of denial force of negation that's the one I think there's a force of will in here too probably force of William there's a force of William oh man okay I got oh just such incredible spice y'all have I might lose this game but I win the war putting five cards back back I don't know what that means all right sure we'll go with that so we don't know our pairings so we just build a hand of four cards yep cool all right so three lands down now that we all have our own land stations we can take three lands and put them face down from Ultimate Secrets y make sure everybody gets a treasure I can even give people treasure piles oh like sure thank you thanks all righty go I am really enjoying this this great you have four so right now you're doing four out of a total of what seven cards uh four out of eight we should have four in hand and four on the sideboard I mean it's always interesting to see how different cards that are Staples in various other formats you sort of go Oh in this format it makes no sense or it works even differently Magic the Gathering I should have one of these just in case just in case right he does yeah did you make a treasure I did right this is the only one I have I keep having to use them so go ahead how do you want to figure out the pairings uh rolling a die all right uh 1 2 3 4 5 six sure we all have our decks y great I'm fighting Graham first great and I'm fighting Nelson and then we've already locked in our stuff so all right uh and then OT even well right you get to go first um I am going to Reveal Your lands yeah when do we flip our lands over uh after I choose whether or not I'm going first oh I'll go first okay all right planes planes planes by wheeler oh God not again Graham representing y I am revealing a chancellor of the annex all right the chancellor has returned revealing a chancellor of the annex and my upkeep okay good good everybody loved that I can see Applause in twitch chat mhm oh wait that's why I'm supposed to bring that um I'm going to tap three MH does this suck no no it's good I'm going to play blade splicer okay all right guess who's back going to make a Golem and pass I'm going to be really curious to see if like certain cards stay in decks the whole way through or if you know a yeah just fascinating this plan hasn't worked the past couple times but now I'm starting to think yeah okay yeah this time is my treasure so far black male bones is three so yeah the fourth card is the card that's going to really make this whole thing pop brings it all together blackmail emper of Bones removal spell is pretty strong oh I messed up that's fine uh all right end of your turn I'm going to overpay for stomp once again and I'm going to Target H oh this is interesting now cuz you're at 10 mhm but if I kill that then the Golem won't have yeah burn is pretty real right yeah real yeah like there's probably a deck that just copies a lava axe yeah right lava axe snapcaster lava axe uh there is Fire Blast in sick yeah yeah uh no I'll go to the Dome all right wheeler is at yeah you will shock your face all right so this is not in play this is just off on an adventure all right and the tax is dealt with now because the chancer is not in play this correct yeah um and I'll play the okay play the guy um yeah yeah go ahead untap uh I am going to play aarian Academy he has access to seven I'm going to attack you for three I misplayed uh yeah I don't block down to seven I'm going to seven Mana play a chancellor of the anex all right and pass 56 flyer yeah OFA and or doofa he's got one more card in hand what's new here magic player tries to flick cards when only one in hand that's a hell of a way to treat your black lotus there wheeler yeah what is this format follow for card pool well it's like vintage I guess but I believe this particular one was uh vintage no power n there doesn't seem to be any power in it but there is some pretty big sp there is a M's Workshop in here there's Workshop cradle there's OG duels tap and black I'd like you to discard that card you need to pay a tax though because of the chancellor being in play pay to oh Chan's in play already Yes gosh darn it uh yeah so what do we what do we see wheeler discard I'm discarding a reanimate oh okay cool sure oh and he hides the black Splash behind the planes planes ples the brain of this man yeah but I don't know if it worked out I like that you have like two out of three cards of like Legacy turn one here yeah we just need a putri and a way to get two black mana on turn one I am so here for this format right now it's it's pretty dope I mean I'm I'm I got three poison CS yeah it's also just very funny how few play like few actual game actions are taken but how much block goes into it I mean that's three card blind right yeah three card blind what's it called is that three card blind um usually it's called Vanishing three card blind although I guess you could play it where you don't ban decks or something yeah the winning one has to yeah yeah yeah exactly I don't think I can win that's what we'd like to hear okay yeah so does anybody have any other game actions they want to take here well I'd like to yeah I'm trying to figure out cuz like I can't attack cuz I that yeah I should have done this on the first turn I should have just you I should have used the treasure and done this because now I can't get out from under the tax um I don't have an attack so I'll pass the turn uh and like if you have a thing you can down to two if you have a thing you can do but it'll take your treasure and you don't think it'll let you win you might as well yeah yeah cuz I can it's the that thing sucks uh you're at eight yeah oh uh yeah you got an alpha strike no I sure don't uh yeah pass tag yep okay right so now you each get a random card and Graham gets a poison so Graham is up to three poison all right Serge velli no no no you have a poison I don't so you just get to go first he switched it up there's a mountain nice I have two islands and a Plains whoa okay so Ling green Souls is gone and you have blue blue now well he could lingering Souls he's got a plaines and treasure I he also has treasure now um look up what this card does I don't remember and maybe Chad can help I don't remember if we've added a treasure yet or not cuz we're supposed to do at the beginning of our game right yeah once you put out your land you get treasure so I should be at four now okay I'll up to three sure okay that doesn't help me I will play a mol oh that one yeah I know right I looked it up sorry I was saying it doesn't I see sorry go ahead mutal is such an OG and three card blind too mhm I'm still not like very well set up against the same three cards you had last game unfortunately so I don't know if I'm supposed to bother I think I'm just going to say go all right try to kill you with this meol okay I'm going to cast a blackmail yeah uh uh it's fine take a look filia swords and frost yeah so I feel like I have to take swords because otherwise I lose cool um and then so let's talk about some math here I play emperor of Bones you cast dog doesn't do too much you attack dog you flicker my emper bones I take two when do you cast Frost Titan it cost you two Treasures that's an interesting econ cost I think you should just play it out yeah well I'm trying to think of the sequencing of my turn oh I see based on the information we have here so it's like if if Nelly if that's the logical flow of play that Nelson Has how do I sequence my turn against it gotcha yeah I'm not I'm not trying to be like oh it's deterministic the game is over no I I understand yeah I think paper straws might be some kind of sigh op oh they they're not wor they're not good they're just actually not sizes of drinks should be adjusted or something to paper straws cuz you can you can enjoy a paper straw for a solid like seven minutes right but this is like the second hour of this show and you you haven't you didn't just get back or anything from the restaurant I I don't know man so this is not an English yeah what does this car do so it's like it etbs Taps it down and then every time it attacks this is like Proto Frost counter right which is stun counter yeah kind of put stun counters on stuff whenever it enters or attacks tap Target permanent doesn't ATT attack so it has word to so the issue here is yeah Frost Titan has way fewer words on it when this attacks put a stun counter on target creature and tap it ward two yeah okay I'm just going to cast my emperor of Bones which I still have in my deck sweet I'm going to pass to you end of turn do you want to Exile swords oh yes I go to combat Angel sworts yeah uh and of turn failure yeah okay it's all it's all going how I thought it would okay untap cast Frost Titan yeah I only have one treasure left yes freeze so it's tapped yeah okay uh attack Exile my Frost Titan yeah uh you take two okay I'm at eight Frost Titan comes back with a plus one plus one counter free gets the counter oh it's fail that gets counter okay Frost Tian comes back freeze this again so now the way it's working it's not a sun counter so it's not cumulative land oh I can hit land this it's not in English okay hold on no no no no no I some cards I get it yeah that's on me we let cast this in 2012 I don't have this card memorized you two clowns have tried to cast this card sooner than that yeah but it's it's been a decade man maybe less than you're trying to tell me you remember everything about how this Titan works I do about a staple like frost Titan this guy staple many podcast with me and he still thinks I know a card stap no the staple was consecrated Sphinx nobody played this consecrated that was six you thinking that consecrated Sphinx is a staple over this is why I was at the top tables and you at the back of the store my good friend there were five Titans and this was anti-titan Titan yeah there were four other Titans in consecrated SP for blue cuz nobody played this you played it in standard you played it in standard you played it in standard this gu played in Cade too okay okay so the text is like the card is on screen right now like you can please not now dads are fighting I'm having I'm having a great time just tap your Mountain down go does no tap are you sacrificing your Emperor to kill my FR what I can do that what is Frost Titan do it came in play this turn no okay that's not what I have in hand oh M suspicious well I have no cards yeah give me a second do you like my deck I do it's okay all right I had to spend two Treasures surprised you haven't been blinking people's Treasures well that's cuz I didn't think it wheeler shut up man sorry that card's an English and so I didn't I actually didn't know FIA could hit non creatures notet nonland permanent so what happens in this case hypo iCal I'm not all right I'm going to cast fury it's your turn now okay well yeah I untapped you're chill yeah it's just you were taking so three Treasures two swamps Jesus Fury is going to kill failure this man went all in I don't know how this race goes now let's find out yep yeah we have to play the game I pass to you UNT I think it's bad for Serge yeah m maybe not double strike much like normal games of magic it all really depends on what game actions are taken yeah tap this I mean this kills you oh I'm just dead okay my first boys encounter and then we get an extra card all right yeah hey that came back okay all right so the red Splash was maybe not great the red Splash was we go shopping again before we go yeah I forgot all right I sorry I need to get rid of this deck I don't like this pile sure s this is how you know he's an auto battler player it's rig it's R garbage I like how far chat was ahead of you guys there they were like wait he's just dead right 6 plus two 6 plus two yeah he's wait why can't didn't know what I had Paul they didn't know what I had you have nothing in your hand right no I had another card oh really I had a card oh okay uh these are all bad wow man different Titan an even more obscure Titan how long before my my deck can just be three lands and two Titans that's what that's what's up well there's an interesting downside to trying to play six drops right without having lands in your deck do two turns a row if you're not doing the wheeler thing right like it there is a significant downside yeah the any any lands like mult lands that tap for multiple Mana is very powerful then again that makes wheeler very dependent on actually keeping all of his uh all of his treasures not spending them whoops yeah that's kind of an interesting way on how the economy side of this works where like because they're it's because it's a game piece as well you know should that was a sick play Nelly the frost Titan oh my God the frost tit Frost Titan I enjoy now if it was consecrated SP then I would have really had a shot yeah oh man okay I got five cards I'm putting back okay War Two let me know when everybody has put back their cards oh right all right I haven't done that yet I ready okay uh everybody has their lands yep please give yourself a treasure token oh thank you I will don't mind if I do I love that for me so so now uh we should have a four card hand five cards in our sideboard yeah I fought Graham so now odd even I will fight Nelson and uh I have one you have three right I have F yeah you to go first yeah oh it's different I'm back on the mardu oh Academy go it's my favorite observation about things in Magic is oh it's different soul manipulation all right we need to use some some oh yeah sorry card read I should probably read this card dog dog but it's getting counter so manipulation what does that do uh choose both counter Target creature spell and or return Target creature from my graveyard to my hand so I'm countering it counter good flexibility untapping yep um and you had no pregame actions this time there's no sneaky Chancellor all right jadar call of the neia Serge would you mind finding me a decayed zombie uh I mean I might just find you a zombie zombie and we'll have to make do back to you no no we have those do we you got a you got a zombie I get a zombie yeah in your hand there's a lot of zombies head in your head untap Zombie yeah I got one cool I it he makes very very bad poor zombies they're just like sub subpar zombies he's not great at it he's trying he's legendary though yeah legendary goule col legendary for like his 60-year career of like showing up for work every day and getting another zombie onto the field it's like one yeah I got to figure out how to make zombies that last more than one day it gets by on volume yeah colossal Sky Turtle okay uh 65 God this Academy is so powerful does that two War I that's a lot um okay it's a 65 six5 flying ward two and I'm at 10 right you are at 10 okay untap colig against command for you discard and uh blow up one of your Treasures uh which treasure uh this it says Target player discards a card so you're not fing that one um Wheeler's trying to see if there's an angle to make the whole thing fizzle by destroy I'm going to crack my two treasures and play by the way yeah you have one card in hand one card oh this is so bad hold on because it's swords to blow shares six attack oh if it's swords no this actually this works I think I'm going to flash into snapcaster oo and uh then yeah your K command does something nothing go okay so can I I can't really get the draw can I might as well just play it doesn't matter whether I block now or block later if you have swords you can get the draw right swords yeah yeah no sorry I mean I can't get the win right because I've got I have to trade jar forcaster I do have swords so on my turn I can swords your your turtle yeah but I can't win so you both get a poison counter yeah yep cuz this can only attack once because of decay all right could have got I could have got back my dog instead blowing up your your rock that's our first that's our first draw both players add a card to their deck all right Graham yeah uh you have the play neat uh let's reveal all right you've got the bug I am on good old Dependable swamp swamp swamp love that uh yeah I have more poisons I'm going to go I'm going to play first rotting Reggie yeah you know what's funny I had that and I discarded that and now you have that yep go ahead all right uh I'm going to lead with a black male yeah I figured so it's you just get to look at my hand and make me something show three three random cards oh okay so you just get look at my hand gr gets are choose up to three Target player reveals three cards from his hand and you choose one of them it's not up to three they they GR chooses which three yes yeah so you can look at my hand yes yes it's yeah um I don't think there's any you know I should have ah I should have known you had the blackmail and just done I should have done my thing differently that was stupid all right well uh I've got the devour intellect and the legalises quick reflexes and the K okay I need to read these so I know what legal's thingy does devour intellect Target opponent discards a card if Mana from a treasure spent to cast this instead that player reveals their hand and then discard a card yeah I should have just done that on my turn kite sale Larson okay if I do hold on so I take one of these I'm going to let I'm I'm just gonna let surge Doctor Strange through all the iterations D I've come to play Auto baber Cube yeah I think this is this a draw no this isn't a draw okay I take devour intellect okay you've got that great thank you there is for my next trick I cast small pox so what's that do oh boy each player loses One Life boop boop each player discards one card okay um so you should know all the modes too you're also going to be sacrificing a land and a creature so know that information based on what you're discard you discard your pirate what why well cuz this is oh no this going to die never mind okay never mind cuz Nelson's got surge money I discard Force to despair we both sacrifice a creature we both sacrifice a land uh um sure I pass you have one card left in your hand I have one card left in hand so you got a really interesting situation here where Graham has a three drop in hand MH uh so he has to invest a treasure get into there I know what it is which means I'm not incentivized to play my creature first M right yeah so oh can Graham Force to draw a draw yeah yeah if you just pass and then we both get poisoned yes but but I I I don't know what that other card is yes but if it's a creature I can't play mine first mhm because then you play and you win yeah so yeah so I never play my card cuz you I I mean I mean you've only had one all right let's find out well no you're not supposed to play yours first oh I mean I guess wait you don't know that though yeah I don't know what your I don't know what yours is what am I supposed to do that's fair Go pass yeah uh I have a emperor of bones okay that's what I figured yeah so what are you going to Exile uh when I go to combat I'm going to Exile your rotten regisaur yep so now I pass to you I hit you I go to seven and I die and we pass to me and and I hit for a bunch okay yeah yeah no I don't I don't I right you don't have the information yes yes sege I don't enjoy the situation where it's like okay now you just have to sit there gram right no that's that's fair like I If if I don't gently if I don't have the info I don't like being told how to play the rest of no no no no that is excellent feedback and thank you for that no no that that is absolutely correct cool all right I'm going to draw oh wa get another card I poison I am so poisoned stop coming back there's so many cards what are the chances that I keep drawing the same ones I changed piles I also changed piles I don't know how we did that one in 20 like 80 or something drafting yeah drafting Oh Me Oh and then uh yeah for your benefit Graham you know you're playing me and I played like frost Titan faia swords flers right and you just played Reggie pirate cck week flexes yeah okay right so we know this is Graham versus Nelly now right that's a good point actually so yeah so corvis the the the um the the question for me is uh if I force the draw I get poison anyway so it's to my benefit to try and play it out except playing it out involves using one of my treasures so that's that's where it's like well I don't know but I'm I'm not only on Treasures like like wheeler has been oh that's that's a very interesting card for this is that is this good that might just rip actually so I'm fighting wheeler yes all right this is so hard send that one out of here I think actually I think we'll do this all right one two three four five five going back in it's well now we're at the point six of the sideboard well now we're at up to the point oh wait no yes we're not there yet soon yeah one more game and then we're up to five energy okay so try this this yeah a few more rounds pretty pretty soon we're going to start having to discard down to nine in our sideboard yes right oh interesting yeah so at a certain point you can't you can't Bank your stuff anymore it's uh yeah big shout out to the uh um developer of the it's clear that a lot of thought has been put into what cards are in this like how because the way the cards sort of interact and like like the you want to put a lot of all right all right the removal cards and all this stuff because otherwise you know I like where this is going one guy has a bomb and just does every work and just wins every game no matter what so you have to have lots of removal and you have to have lots of answers but ones that only that ones that work with single card oh this sus help me out so last time wheeler had Academy Sky Turtle three Mana counter regrow snapcaster uh yes sorry the sky turtle is all those things right you were like three Mana regro that's the sky Turtle it's the same well no there was the three Mana instant that was me play kill against command no yeah he he had a counter count something right and the Soul manipulation it's Ence scatter or rais it is that's I thought dead yeah yeah you're right that's what he played last game those four sorry I'm trying to think CU I'm going Academy Soul yeah colossal Sky Turtle if I'm playing wheeler do I change [Laughter] everything God how funny would that be transformative sideboard to mind games it is it's starting right I think it's this okay oh I got to put cards back yeah wait this game plan sucked yeah I guess I guess once you have at least a few cards on your sideboard you can start trying to build like your second deck and have your first deck ride you out until you're ready to swap cuz I have to think of what if he switches to the uh the chancellor of the annex deck as well and like play through that attack cuz I haven't actually had to fight wheeler in that deck yet like I should probably just be trying to build specifically beats black male and everybody gets a treasure all right everybody get your treasure Treasures treasure treasure treasure great so we have our four cards in hand we have our three lands I have a beginning of game action so we're fighting each other yeah all right I've got a lay line of anticipation okay I also have a a pregame action I have a lay line of the Void okay great all right I'm going to playan Academy and I'm going to pass so that's the one that gives everything flash yeah okay this just turns out emper bones doesn't it oh opponent's graveyard it's the only opponent's graveyard yeah and then I believe um no that's fine all right my turn yep blackmail uh I'm going to flash in a Johnny noott p R oh Serge can we get a 21 cat token please uh I'll see if I find no because I'm going to sacrifice a treasure token and cast force of Despair uh to destroy all creatures that enter play this turn after the token results yeah you want to so this comes into play you get a token I get a token yeah all right sorry I don't have priority so yeah that's fine that's fine that's fine yes all that you don't even go here uh I'm then going to still blackmail on the stack oh he still has the so blackmail is still yes this is in response to Blackmail oh the force to dispair just counters my deck we don't have that token so I make how do we not have that token it's new it's a modern har 3 and there's only a Mythic that makes it wait so I do have priority no I cast this that's on the stack the triggered ability happens but now now we're resolving blackmail well okay triggered ability resolves yeah and I have priority well technically it goes back to right it Serge's turn so he would get priority PRI so if he wants he can cast before he can cast while blackmail still on the stack I'm I am going to cast force of Despair now so the stack is now force of Despair with a blackmail underneath it um oh okay no that's not okay uh I'm going to flash a Salvation swan okay yeah to um ETB XL1 creature I control without flying it's going to be this a Johnny and return to play under my control with a flying counter at the beginning of the next end step okay so these bear is going to resolve those are going to go into Exile uh yes and I have no cards in hand all right black mail is going to resolve nothing happens yeah that was my turn and then end of your turn this comes back with a flying counter and makes a cat and I'm going to untap and I'm going to hit you for three and pass and if your last card is emperor of Bones I win emperor of Bones I think I don't think you win well he can oh it has a flying counter I got a flying counter but this can become a 44 yeah so what happens yeah I draw the gate yeah we play it out yeah untap uh attack you for one in the air go ahead untap I attack you with uh emperor bones you have no graveyard I have no other creature I'm going to block with my two1 all right I'm going to make it a 44 okay uh a cat has died I am going to turn a Johnny into a Plains Walker yeah and then every turn I'm just going to make a cat and then every turn I block the cat okay so it's a draw and we draw yeah does it get to an alt at any point that's relevant like is there any other game change that no my ALT is like a cataclysm style effect wait yeah how does the cat goes into exile not to a graveyard does that change a Johnny flipping because I have of the Void yeah does that does that change do I win yeah it does okay yeah why' you bring lay line he brought he brought lay line of the Void with Emperor both can you believe it this nonb if I had a better creature I would but it's it's it's so B A nonb that game wild well cuz if I cuz if I have another if I have another creature which you don't know no but you know you decided you know you know that you can never get anything look this is I won didn't I yeah it's like a super sick gamble that paid off Le says card not tokens oh my God all right then we draw then we draw does no one knows what leine does card tokens aren't cards pharmacist judge says leline says card okay thank you pharmacist judge hold on hold on it's in German so it's say card yeah yeah yeah we drew woo let's call it a draw yeah all right did you already adjust the poisons I didn't all right so Serge goes to Two Wheeler goes to five we draw a c all right I'm playing Mar I got J okay and you're on the play or okay great show me what you're working with okay let's try this again slick shot showoff slick SHOT show off using a treasure wait tapping differently okay using a treasure for devour intellect so because I use the treasure I get to look at your hand oh oh devour intellect from a AFR yeah oh sorry the reader didn't there it is we got it so yeah it's it's you discard a card but if I use a treasure then you reveal your hand and I choose a card well I think I just need to cast this one because it seems super relevant in this game so I'm going to respond with colan command dealing two damage to Slick SHOT show off and having you discard a card oo oh if I don't take four them I get to make it brutal yeah you guys that was like a very real game like there was a lot going on like in terms of game decisions I mean yeah Wheeler's thing of of flashing out his entire hand to avoid the uh blackmail is pretty sweet yeah yeah it was cool all right well uh I will cast like this is quick reflexes to give it hex proof and then you have one card left yeah okay I will cast s toly sh is targeting this looks like show oh this has Split Second doesn't it sure can't respond I can't do that okay cool uh well I mean then I lose I think eventually well okay so SLI so reflexes resolves cuz it Split Second yeah so it doesn't take two damage but you discard your card yes which is a snuff out okay then the one the one part of the command fizzling doesn't kill the other part correct because there's two Targets yes exactly okay then the devour intellect resolves I have philia swords and lingering Souls uh brutal okay well I guess I have to take swords but I think I don't think well well we we'll find out I guess am I just dead here I don't think so you're not dead this turn cuz I hit cuz this didn't have a Target right yeah well I could have killed my own SLI shot but that wouldn't have helped so um yeah so I take the swords uh and then this has two it has a trigger from legalis and from devour intellect so it's five so I hit you for five it also it has another thing from leg but you don't have a target for it so okay uh so I take five yeah you take five and that's a that's I have no cards left okay on my turn I will cast lingering souls and make two one ones yeah go I don't am I just supposed to pass I don't know I don't know either pass on my turn I will cast philia Okay Go pass okay on my turn I will attack with uh philia and two spirits and Exile your slick SHOT show off take four flashback linger souls and get two more Spirits okay white Spirit tokens yeah have two more Spirits go so then this comes back two more Spirits it's still supp to block pass okay what do you at six okay I'll Attack you for six and Exile your sub off yeah okay cool all right wow okay we each get a card had a card yep oh I don't like that one final draft of this round okay unfortunately attacking would have been um uh gosh you know what's funny that might have been it with the showoff and the and the um reflexes it might have been correct to put you on the play right to even though you have failure so you because you wouldn't you wouldn't have played a creature in your first turn but then there would be a Target for the other ability of uh reflexes right uh so we're up to now we are up to five right yeah uh no don't we have one more game in this one before we go five one more before five I thought that was the game cuz I that was me playing Nelson as the only option no we played chat chat has anyone been paying attention to this I'm pretty sure we have one more game here I I think we have one more game as well Wheeler's got five you can count the cards in your pool to verify so we started with three is that right I've got 10 now wait no I've got more than 10 if you put back five how many will you have right uh so I have I haven't gone shopping yet yeah yeah I have 11 play all three yeah okay so then we do go to Five I apologize no that's okay you have 11 I have 11 yeah I have 11 after I put back five I haven't gone shopping yet I I guess I'll do that right now okay but but going shopping we'll keep you the same right yes so we're supposed to have 11 yeah and this is the five okay I need a card okay yeah maybe you didn't get a card oh interesting I like that that's fun uh oh I see I was like why is this here this is a this is not a good card and then I read it and I was like oh right it's exactly Paul was talking about it's you know the like in this context this makes sense I think I'll just show you it's this one oh yeah yeah the the I'll show chat too Loop and prototype right it's a 55 for two but it can't attack or block unless a player a player has no cards in hand fantastic here that is neat that's super neat um I like that idea though what am I going to put back oh no I'm not up Aur okay wait where my to are we missing one poison somewhere should be there should be 12 poison counters in total right well there's also draws there's draws the draws right draws draw Miss I think I accidentally put my tarian Academy somewhere oh is it in your land pile maybe no no all right we'll check the decks well yeah you should have aan Academy because I did not want to put back aian Academy I for one I'm shocked I mean that's the physical version of the misclick but like no no oh Dam where's my toing Academy where is your toing Academy I didn't see it in this stack fall as we go into this uh yes it's under your chair don't move your roller chair as we go into this next round should we take a quick commercial break before good idea Paul great idea Paul the finding of the Taran Academy warrants a special celebration all right we did it be back in just a few minutes hello welcome back we are continuing to battle Auto to UT battle yeah that works Princess Auto battles yeah oh yeah that's not bad yeah uh yeah let's continue everybody get their treasure all right how are we determining who is fighting whom oh wait I got to pick my hand first sorry through the traditional Sor it's okay go ahead so five card hand now right five so yeah the five energy means it's five card hands and you can keep up to five treasures at the end of the game too all right I'm going to try something I'm I'm going to try something this be fine oh he's trying something everybody stand back watch out put your safety goggles on okay I got five all right let's battle pick our matchups oh right I should put out lands yes get your lands figured out and then we can roll the die that seems [Music] correct okay 1 two 3 four 5 six again fight Graham you and I well that means I'm against Nelly that's right let's do this all right choice is yours I would like to go first that makes sense I have three basic PLS what do you got oh God game action I mean I guess let's all reveal right or no I don't think it matters yeah I got a beginning of game action it's this lay line of anticip a thank you uh I'm going to play a toian Academy and pass got access to seven Mana lay L of anticipation no Chancellor this time okay to the tune of the introduction to the late night dub fight I don't know if that's relevant to anybody at this table Chrome host seed shark oh yeah seed shark Chrome seed shark you've got shark I've got shark I use a treasure uhhuh I'd like to devour some intellect I'm going to respond yeah that's reasonable I'm going to tap for four blue uhhuh I'm going to use one and two of that blue mhm to cast old Tech matter Weaver yay what's the matter Weaver with you his name is my name too uh whenever I cast a creature spell I can either make a one1 gnome or make a token that's a copy of Target artifact token I control uh I am then going to use one and a white and Flash in and a Johnny Nal Pariah old Tech matter Weaver trigger so I get a one one gnome okay please and thank you you get a gnome and could you also get a an artifact or white uh it's an artifact get could you also get an incubate yes thank you uh that's a good point f m you can also use chrom host seed shark in place of SpongeBob SquarePants I'll need another gnome by the way uh cuz I'm going to use this blue uh one and then two Treasures uh to cast uh Salvation Swan oh you know what I'm stupid I just realized something else I should have done um okay this is on the stack is it is it not too late no I should have done it differently um when should I have done this I should have done I guess when you can well when's the correct time to do this I'm sorry wheeler I'm just trying to see when when I should have inserted inserted myself things well actually no now it's now it's not relevant because the the because of the Swan so I shouldn't I shouldn't I shouldn't do this okay uh I'm going to Blink a Johnny and then your devour intellect results okay so that I that I think I'll respond to um because it's you blink the aani and then it will will come back and make another cat yep and it will fly yep so the swan is targeting to Johnny what am I more concerned with I like this deck it loses to Surge but I think it beats you two maybe so when the cat dies Johnny turns into other The Walker what does the Walker do just keeps making cats makes cats pumps cats and then casts cats cataclysm make cat pump cat each cat you control yeah I know this card exists for some reason okay uh yeah all right so with the swan targeting a Johnny um I'm gonna God this might just kill me well I'm GNA do it anyway I'm gonna I'm gonna pay life to cast snuff out so pay for life all right uh and I'll kill the a Johnny my cat's being snow that doesn't happen I have another seed shark trigger triggers how do those work here so um I incubate uh four and incubate one as well and incubate one for this devour intellect resolves you have nothing left in hand right you just dumped your whole hand response sick cool sorry just a what how does incubate work again oh sorry so the incubate is um I doubt you have these tokens on here um chromos seark makes an incubate token which is just a artifact with counters on it and then you pay two to turn it into an artifact creature with counters on it z z so I have to pay Mana but potentially this is a one one and a 44 uh and then I've got SpongeBob seed shark over here and uh that's all I can do on my turn so now it's over to you attack so I'm at six can I live uh you block the biggest thing and you take six oh well damn all right poop I thought I had a plan there all right well H pickle kid Rides Again almost the fat one bigger and juicier uh oh yeah we're tied I will be odd and we each get a card you got I am team odd all right they're both throwing a card so hold on so odd that means I go first yeah cool so I have game actions before we start awesome I've got a lay line of the Void yeah okay I've got a lay line of sanctity great so you can't Target me and you don't have a graveyard it's yep correct all right my God it's like he's overboarding i' I'd like to Blackmail you now with five cards in hand the value of blackmail does diminish because he only has to show me three cards of his choice mhm it's true here you go all right uh swords to plow share a colligan's and and a Kida K scor that's such a good name so not great against the lay line of sany I must say yeah we'll put that in your graveyard sure it's exiled right wait actually hold on a second um take your time colag command can still Target my treasures even if can't Target me yep so obviously it would have been it it would have been still bad for me because of the Swan which I didn't know about at that at that point but should I have tried to Snuff out the matter Weaver with a Johnny on the stack you still get the matter Weaver trigger I I think uh given I think I was going to lose there regardless but I'm just trying to think of when I should have snuffed out something um maybe the bird I guess you're at I don't know it's tough you go to six you just kind of die on the crack bad what if you just don't cast that snuff out and then you don't take lethal damage but then the cat comes back another cat token comes down and he's swinging for nine and I still only have the two for but then you get to untap and cast a snuff out yeah not for life you could snuff out make a thing animate block block I think you might just be dead because there's too many token I think you're just dead the matter Weaver is a problem yeah okay all right anyway so Nelly has cast a dog what a shock um at my end step and I'm asking myself if I want to respond or not is it Target permanent I have cast a dog non land permanent okay uh I'm going to I'm going to cast force in despair to kill your dog my dog's dead yeah and exiled and exiled yeah everything is exiled everything is exile forever I pass okay I have one card in hand go everything is exile go uh yeah I guess it's fine okay you yeah I'll use a treasure to cast steel serif it's a 3 three uh with flying when I go to combat go all right and the only the other cards you have in hand are swords to plow share and the other one cool on my turn I cast small pox sure uh so we we draw we draw great yeah didn't even have a creature yeah no creature I deliberately forced the draw congrats okay we both have three poison guys well I so other than you I have a substantially less amount of poison than anybody else so my strategy was to make a deck that forces the draw every time just as quickly as possible great and then other than you and I hope someone else hit you with poison yeah I tried to make a strategy that was going to beat your Emperor bones and you just boarded it out like I I played two creatures and three answers Emperor bones I saw you show three removal spells and I was like you can't do that anything about that yeah that's so funny okay all right so we both get a card oh God it came back again we ready to draft shopping time yeah shopping oh my God what am I doing I have to do this now do I shopping oh there's one of these too that's an interesting one that's an interesting one so the problem is now people know what I'm on now they know well you're probably just not going to be on the same thing Serge on that well now I have to think about what the potential matchups are right so five cards I guess escaping five other cards is Pretty Tough isn't it yeah maybe like maybe once we get to six cards it'll be possible I do like that you you end up with like the most the most compact like meta you know you could have where it's like the The Meta for this particular table ah oh uhhuh you okay that was a very Ned [Laughter] Flander it's am I doing this wait this card's just better in German is it Wilder oh no yes I know the way yeah if it's not Wilder n p Triumph oh I can't read it because it's foil and dark but what's the German name of bitter Triumph it's bitterer Triumph [Laughter] bitterer that's very funny okay okay the way you have to evaluate all the lines because you actually know a large portion of what the other player has in their hand reminds me a lot of those of the like you know puzzle things from scry magazine or whatever right mhm where you're just like okay is there a way to win given that I basically have perfect information wait this is just worse than one of those isn't it and yeah third three car blind uh we've talked about is is definitely a similar kind of idea one day uh we used to run a three card blind League at YJ um and uh I remember thinking I cracked it with a brand new card cuz like there was just kind of like a band list that we had right like uh well the three card blinds like you usually just try to do the first like four or five rounds right away to the top and then so that's like the the basic band list of like you know force of will the black louises the cheese Dan alone those all get out like really quickly in know like in-house and then you move to like with a band list okay actually yeah and the rack was banned and uh RTR had just came out I'm like oh my God these idiots they haven't updated the band list shrieking Affliction which is basically Paul I don't know if you have it shrieking Affliction it's basically a copy of the rack like I've won this leak sure you're just like and I come back and my I have uh my score is all draws just anytime I find something like I don't play my cards I'm like oh okay great just the swamp dress Che affli deck I remember looking at the spread sheet be like how the hell do I only have 16 points there's like 16 players here oh all right uh so I have a 550 draw against G or wheeler I'm trying something very stupid oh don't say that cuz then I might have to change stuff what well hold on you don't know who you're playing I know like so just like okay if Graham has I'm always Graham is stupid I want to play these cards isn't stupid I play these cards correct I am always on the draw but if I'm a Gates wheeler it does [Applause] nothing okay no it does everything who knows what I'm playing I could have swapped I I I tried so hard like I I put all my brains on for the last round and ser just just like small box techno creature so and so now that like secured his spot as being like uh no one's going to have fewer poison than me I'm just like well I'm going to goof around now I do I do feel somewhat similar to like vintage Cube where it's like I'm like a little baby like I just don't see the deck building but I'm having way more fun than I am with vintage did everybody get treasure no this is the time we do that all right out a treasure great um so I am fighting either serer Nelson odd even sounds good I'm fighting Serge I would like to go first all right okay good luck good luck what do you got forest forest swamp it's different Mountain Mountain Forest it's different swamp that's a swamp oh mountain mountain swamp sorry no did you mean for that to be a forest uh no I did not okay good Academy go Academy do you have begin game I don't have beginning game action wait I I don't have be any game actions I cast black male uh I'm going to float a blue I think after this round blackmail is the only surviving card from round one I'm just going to tap in um I'm going to cast mmic Glee oh nice counters your spell and I go on an adventure uh that was all three blue that us us there yep there you go GLE pass I oh wait yes that got counter yeah that was htic spite for okay shadowing said Serge might be trying too hard I disagree I'm going to cast this hypnotic Sprite and I'll pass it's a two one on fire untap I mean there's the thing like I'd like to cast emperor of Bones no the bones is back okay guess who's back I have two cards that survived round one oh yeah you've got Bon you this out last round no you didn't take yeah you didn't play Oh but it never went in okay so it St in my side BL played this card in every game consistently W every game that's what you mean what I uh so Emperor bones resolves M pass attack it's a two1 yep I'm at eight uh go attack okay I take two you have three cards in hand yeah I do uh I will I'll I'll make it big I'll activate adapt adopt adapt and overcome yeah oh we've pushed the table oh yeah we're all excited T just a little further back great no no yes but no I'm going to float a bunch of blue I'm going to petty theft and bounce your emperor of Bones to your hand interesting one blue floating pass I'm going to attack you for two I'm at six go wheeler has moved from cast emperor of bones chancellors into mono blue fairies it's wheeler playing draw go without drawing so just go turn flash and aenar yeah fairy Kindred on the menu M uh that is fine tap combat yeah I don't know if it's fine I go to one yeah I'm at one go uh untap small box for the draw H it's not even a draw I just lose yes you better uh i' like to evoke Fury by pitching a Kiki gy kiky gy can I have that um kiky cheeky e um just playing Kik would also invoke Fury I feel like fine yeah these kill both your creatures uh I'd like to go to combat and Exile Fury yep beginning of combat one card and [ __ ] whatever one more counters comes into play yeah so I should be able to in this combat step attack and animate and then bring this back uh I'm going to tap three and I'm going to channel a colossal Sky Turtle uh to return this Brazen bar over to my hand um and then I'm going to tap for three and I'm going to use two of that to cast uh petty theft and I'm going to bounce your emperor of Bones all right uh will kill you no he takes six you're 10 I'm sorry I was looking your poison sorry so you get a four and then I it has a fat a finality counter on it so goes an exile uh yeah I'm going to also end a turn um oh this isn't this is on an adventure that's on an adventure uh I think that's fine yeah I'll untap had the turtle mhm I'm at four you're at four I don't know one card in hand still black uh I'm going to cast reanimate yeah targeting my hypnotic Sprite so you lose two yeah okay uh go two in hand yeah one of which is the Emperor of Bones so hold on so two I go to One cast your bra and borrow it can't block creatures without flying right correct you could just play it just any big big brain hurt sad Flex says I just got here and I have no idea what's happening well well I mean we've been here for a while and I I'm I have I have some some idea of what's happening okay it's a little hard to explain uh end step I'm going to cast force of Despair force of Despair to destroy a creature that just came to play this turn which is that one yeah then on my turn I'm going to cast the Emperor of Bones yeah and I'm going to go to combat and I'm going to Exile the hypnotics bright hold on comes into play it gains haste sacrifice yes okay sprite's exil so it's exiled under this um I pass to you I'm got to cast this bra and bar yes I'm going to attack yeah you forced me to use the treasure token so I'm going to put plus one plus one counters into play this is going to enter so it can block so I don't die yeah and then I die on the CRA and then I he dies on the crackback but I'm now treasur preserved my econ oh so I get the point wheeler gets the poison but he's got the econ and I'm now completely out of treasure tokens and then I brought in Fury Kiki gy to deal with the mono white X1 board and then he switched it up to a blue green Tempo deck wow the creature removal and graveyard hate is a little tough against that was a really cool match up yeah I thought Serge was fully dead there but emper Emperor bones is just that good and it's like kind of really good against bounce I guess the force of Despair is really good against everything I like for forceair is good why the why the Sprite not the big turtle uh which also flies oh I guess they both fly I forgot the turtle flu oh okay yeah it's the real answer I mean it didn't really yeah it didn't really matter but that was a that was a sincere good question no no no I I I just assumed it didn't fly fair enough I am boring I'm I've got this and I'm you're going to go first uh yeah potentially doing something real stupid sweet so let's find out to get find out all right floating a black yeah Lake of the Dead oh yeah okay yes oh sorry all the Boomer magic players are just capping right now sacrificing swamp yeah five black you got it so I've got okay so what's what's better to do here I've got well no it's if I sack if I I have to sack a swamp oh when you play you're not floating it yes so I'm floating I'm floating one but I think I am going to do that still pay another black yeah no so you can you can tap that one first too oh right right yeah yeah float a second one and Sack it now you got now you've got grave Titan Mana now I've got six Mana cool so I'm I'm overpaying I guess because I also need this green I'm going to play igra Eater of all okay so it's a 66 but it's got Ward sack of food okay but all creatures are food okay but not treasure treasure is not food okay so I don't know does that Menace or anything no it's just big no erra treasure is not yeah all right treasure go ahead treasure food no I'm going to play this Hickory glbs you're going to love what I'm doing cuz it's like a I don't know this is the one I didn't know what it was I version It's Hickory woodlot Paul if you can find hickory woodlot it is it is on the card reader having a tough time because it's a mercadian masks foil anyways depletion land so is it comes in with two play comes in with two and then uh use a different color for so remove one counter for two green man yeah so more on that later but for now I'm also going to cast see song and spend a treasure to make six mana and then uh cast this worm spiral machine what just happened wow we both decided to be ramp this game go ahead oh that's a German weird bordered uh worm coil engine yep yeah verm spidal Mom okay back to you so we've got the 66 food maker and the 66 death touch LifeLink worm maker let me get the worm tokens for you yeah I'll probably need those let me get the worm all right here's a death touch and a LifeLink worm your turn GRE yep sorry I'm just thinking this is like the 's brothers worm Brothers war frame yeah yeah yeah retro sketch yep okay we're gonna try it I'm paying for life for snuff out okay you don't have you don't have a swamp oh you don't have a swamp any oh cuz you sacked the swamp to Lake of the Dead H undo I hadn't factored that into my game plan if you control a swamp oh no rough okay well then I on tap okay interesting well that sucks huh now what do I do uh I wonder if that excruciator demon no that's not why it's called it's uh it's the one that kind of like casts oh crap uh Exile all but five cards in library from the new set yeah yeah doomsday demon or something yeah that might be an interesting consideration for the hydrop black black black black black black yeah I saw that nickos is in the cube yeah which seems like kind of funny at first but then you're like oh I get it uh I guess I just got to pass then okay I'm going on top yeah want to see what's going on with that wood Lon up or whatever the heck that thing is uh wood glob nothing yet I'm going to attack with this worm spiral machine though so that is just worm coil it's worm coil engine yeah 66 LifeLink death touch and then when it does you get a worm of each G also happens to be a food at the moment yeah it's a food well I'm not going to win this event so I'm just going to use all my treasure I'm hard casting snuff out okay out it's non black this D tokens yep and that's just whenever a food dies whenever a food is put into a graveyard yeah cool okay your friend is larger I'm going to use a hickory wock counter and a treasure to cast Carnage Tyrant oh that's very good seven six trample oh that's got hex proof hex proof can't be counter trample 76 okay dinosaur man keyword big good you didn't keep your stuff out for that I guess very different decks this round except for me yeah you brought the emperor bones back in yeah was your first time playing kiky JY right oh I had oh I had the red Splash one time nobody saw it because I I didn't have to play it in the game I lost yeah well this is the only way I don't die so uh I'm going to use Quick reflexes on Egra okay uh and move to combat and attack and uh deal damage equal to its power to the death touch worm sure uh okay eager gets two more counters so is now a 1010 H okay so I could double block and then see if you have any more Shenanigans cards in hand one one I have to block though or you die yeah exactly sure he doesn't have Shenanigans but he has a single shenanigan perhaps um yep trades Nelson gains three I gained three life yep go ahead um's got one card in hand one card yeah exactly I mean shenanigan versus shenanigan it probably doesn't really matter be funny if it did I have a choice of whether to use my treasure token or not I get to cast my spell either way uh sure I'll I'll play koi and not use the treasure so I'll cast steel serup as a three three oh okay cool okay I can't I can't do anything I actually can't cast this card fair enough cuz I I supremely misjudged how the Mana base was going to work out there Fair all right so both of you get a card yes yeah add card everybody who has ever played a lake of the dead has died to their own Lake of the dead it's a right of passage absolutely absolutely happy to join those ranks uh draft time yes having to sack a swamp both when it comes out and when it does its ability is oh yeah oh yeah when you only have three land a lot cards yeah worm coil engine as a food is definitely like you know the the like the the puffer fish you know you got to be real careful when you prepare the worm coil engine you got to got to cut cut it very carefully no kidding you don't want worm coil Sushi is uh delicacy all right so and then Graham and I are fighting and then it's Nelson versus wheeler yep all right man what am I going to do against Serge what am I going to do against this new transformative deck that Graham is bringing I'm just trying new stuff heck yeah I think that's part of the fun I'm just yeah I'm hopping around to different things see if it works see if it gets countered by Serge's crap Serge's garbage what is this why you laying on the hey don't blame me blame the my guy who made it all right in some ways at this point it's almost getting a little bit of the vibe of like jump start where you're sort of trying different out different deck combinations what if I would purchas purch fast food and dis all I have a new bold strategy tell me more it's very closely model on the old strategy I'm not actually telling you anything that's actual strategy wait did I put oh shoot oh no no there it is that's the card or is it this one so we're now at nine oh no pardon me 8 after this so we're close to needing to start sideboarding stuff I hurry up so I can play my bad deck I don't I don't know what number you're referring to here well I'm counting the cards in the sideboard this this is five I have eight yeah I have an eight eight in my sideboard is that right yeah and then nine is the max which is where you start getting extra treasures and sort of accelerating the and then the end game truly begins all right let's try that I'm always on the draw yep I just need to remember that I am always on the draw yeah dude you don't get to that Carousel in time no no you're gonna have to roll against me next round maybe maybe this guy we could both lose yeah at 6 energy you start gaining two poison per loss yeah oh okay uh so after will go home yeah and so this is a determined Graham versus Serge wheeler versus Nelson right yeah all right I I have I am not pre-boarding against Serge because I have no way of knowing but hopefully he feels similarly about me you everybody have their five cards add a treasure everybody add a treasure yep what about lands you got lands oh yeah I have land bro I have land yeah we good oh we're so good all right we got mardu the all model white back on the menu Got Game actions he sure does Chancellor of the anx chancellor is back sweet uh I'm going to play a Taria Von Academy yeah um and then I'm going to oh did I not count up my poison from losing whoops four five6 S play a chancellor of the annex yep uh go ahead I'm going to SP three Mana to cast swords of plow shares targeting Chancellor of the annx yeah you gained five life I gained five life untap mother of runes okay go ahead real Boomer magic right now oh yeah you want to see Boomer magic big loow oh my boy incredible so I have actually had both of those cards in my pool and shuffled them back it is wild how small the card pool is actually big oh man that just would have been just pure stasis right there big load good old big Lo nice mom there dude yeah Shame about these big loads yeah I don't love I don't love the loads uh how can you take that back you'll learn to love take that back you will learn to love these loads yeah load Stone Golem is a foundation of this format okay V take five oh vroom vroom vroom all right uh so hold on you were at 10 I don't know why we had flesh George fleshy George oh God at full full rate yeah full rate fleshy Geor got a full rate flesh George here why is Mom against your ground deck does FLH George have Menace yeah Menace Life Link and Ward pay life equal to its power oh sick God what did I do against that I'm dead Lo dude how your loads damn poison counter you can kill some colon well you can't kill I can't yeah I can kill something with Colon's command and then die and then die all right wow a card your card card all right my man I got swamp swamp swamp back on the menu I got Mar all right just to double check there was no treasure creation possil just load all right red white oh we're back to the OG it's like SHOT show off yeah discard a card I don't get to look I didn't pay my treasure I'm trying to rebuild all right uh give me a second and let me think about this no you have to choose quickly and without without concern yeah well I'm going to cast a spell and respond oh dang uh it's going to be the force of Despair yeah well um and then you get a card you have three cards in hand yes so historically historically you have what do you mean you played a lot of removal in this you know what I'm going to be I'm going to discard this treasure Vault I was actually going to try and see if I could get a cheeky extra like an extra treasure off of this but yeah you took it from me that's my turn all right untap this man's EC coning out of his mind black male oh I assume it would be emper of bones okay that's coming up next I assume yeah I want to clear the way make sure there's not a removal spell oh that's all I've got oh well let's see all right um giant uh-huh big uh smiting Helix big and its old friend Helix okay well I'm going to take the giant mhm um and then I assume assumed you might have been on removal spells yeah so I brought in new card a spell skite so spell skate is a04 and I can pay two life to redirect damage to the spell skite instead who hurt you I pass I literally Jonathan Rickard I literally have no way of killing you uh all right I mean so far he's just got a zero four so all right I will take three damage all right I gain three and you will gain three life cool go untap I will cast an emperor of Bones there he is which one you want uh I will take the 43 I will pass to you I'm not using my treasure yeah that's right pass all right untap um I would like to pay two yeah to put a plus one plus one two plus one plus one counters on here you take eight i trle l for eight I pass pass thank you I'd like to take your bird yeah and then hit you for yeah all right everybody take a cardd CFT well now we're up to six right that was that that round so now our energy is at six okay so this means that we have six cards in hand going into this and can have up to six Treasures okay um but then yes uh now we draft we we can draft un let you have up to six Treasures impressive and uh and yeah this round could be the last for both Graham and Ben okay yes because now that we're at six whoever loses gets two poison so now we now we're shopping yeah okay oh we shopping that's a very funny card to see in here what happens if I play wheeler it would be extremely [Laughter] painful all right and this is when we start having to discard cards to keep our um whatever good talk thank you I have to put two cards back I want them all please never actually played you one two three four five okay one two 3 four 5 six s what is that so how many we can keep how many cards in the sideboard nine n nine to so we're not we're not there yet excuse me this is where you die Jagger oh yeah maybe your extra cards now turn into treasure but we don't have any we just mathematically don't have extra cards yet but starting the next one we do next yeah two more turns yeah before the end of this round we're going to have free Treasures got okay so if I fight wheeler oh don't do that wouldn't recommend this is good against wheeler and Nelson right we only still have oh this is also good against wheeler and Nelson I'm not even trying to plan around what strategies y'all might have I'm just we don't know who we're playing too yeah I'm just trying to build a deck that could do with oh yeah I know he's he's trying to plan for like eventualities against any of us which I I guess it's like you know if you're playing like rock paper scissors and you're like okay if I go scissors yeah it goes Rock then I should go paper but if I go but he might know that so if I go f then he'll go scissors so I should go raw and then you like kind of end up back to where you start you if you think too many steps ahead you end up back to where you're started only one thing I know Paul nobody's ready to handle these big blads what thanks stone golems h uhhuh are you locked in I don't know you have I think the answer is yes I think I'm locked in five seconds no I'm locked in I'm locked inck get a treasure everybody get a treasure okay uh dice to roll anybody get a dice to roll or these or I don't I'll roll one of them one two 3 four 5 six hey oh buckets I'd like to go first sir y blue blue blue I've got swamp swamp swamp games you think I believe as on the play you have to I have a lay line of sanctity oh that's fine yeah that's this is not the matchup I wanted playan Academy yeah go ahead the fairies are black yeah I bet you do Bud hypnotics [Laughter] pre black male Still Still MVP of the only card that's been every sing black male is the giant spider of this Cube draft yeah it's good yeah I mean thean Academy has been there most of the time but yeah slick shot showoff has been in most games too um I've played a lot of dog sword supp shares and dog has been in most of my decks yeah balls in your court Jagger yeah I know the like example deck when you're teaching people about how to play uh three card blind is like so one deck is like ples swords to plow shares EA Mario or Savannah Lions right it's like yeah that deck's okay so if I pass wheeler gets a creature you're probably on that Brazen Bor or nonsense too aren't you you sound like a dad probably you bra aren't you uh I'm going to cast Emperor bones tap five forcea just five Treasures hard cast for wow we uh go un tap five big loads big loads go ahead hold like two cards in hand two cards hold for loads I like that the Golem came out before the hypnotics is is there also a little loads [Laughter] there really should be what like loadstone skitterer or something or like like a one one that has a same ability yeah like Doritos implies the existence of Doro one big chip two cards in hand two cards get a big load of this guy get a you the rich very nice very nice PA a stealth bomber of Comedy yeah un yep how does this make you feel white boy my big loads is break dancing all over your board God why is magic so hard that's what big loads wants to know magic ain't hard to big loads dude so I should be at 10 here and you should be at 10 yeah yeah right I should be a 10 too so should G sorry yeah it's all good two Mana for Life dismember targeting loads oh sech I'm a slip those loads out of the back baby put a plus one plus one on target creature it phases out when is it face back in well it's on the stack uh in Wheeler's next turn yeah but so going to attack me as a 66 yeah yes now what is the ruling on phasing out it's not entering no status yeah it's a status that means it's like it's not on the battlefield yeah a 64 for what it's worth but like search good respones oh yeah yeah fair enough sorry resolves o loads is on vacation cting on my turn was an interesting decision uh I pass untap uh you for six wait that kills me yes wait all right yeah big loads I I gamb this is extremely good against two of the three people at this table and I got the wrong one uh we each get a card oh it's two poison now oh two poison I'm at five Nelly is the problem sure I am Maru uh jund okay and then do you have more point poison close Okay so I've got a lot do do you have do you have begin game uh I would I would like begin game do you have any do you have any lay Lin oh I see no okay I wish to cast something like in upkeep I guess or whatever so I have disruptor flute with that which has Flash and so like I guess up you cast an up up just opponent's upkeep when I'm on the draw so do you want to respond to this it's like I'm going to does it do well when it enters the battlefield I'll name a card and then that card will be more expensive and activ activated abilities of that card can't be played unless their Mana abilities that's wild uh no I have no response what are you nameing what are you nameing what am I name what are you name my guy I'm going to name slick SHOT show off all right so it costs it'll cost three more if I have it yeah okay interesting interesting all right it's just that's just a guy first turn now yeah it's your turn cool playing a flute really loudly right beside your ear yes oh ah that's hilarious by the way this seems cool I mean even better in the early game maybe not turn the first round but every round after that three but yeah it can make low Stone Golem cost seven no my yeah take that big loads where's Wasteland to deal with the stupid I threw it back oh Crystal vein oh that's not what I wanted to see all right oh he's got that Liquid Crystal um ice in his veins how do I want to do this apparently you two said do you have begin game and Graham responded with I would like begin game yes yes yeah that an interaction we had I didn't I missed that until they quoted it and I'm like what's happening right now yeah I thought I thought he was asking me if I wanted to start playing I would like begin game search lat line of sex D I have I have starts of game uh all right well I'll tell you what I'm going to do I'm just GNA sacrifice this five Mana okay uh and I'm gonna play roxan Roan Roan oh my God new tech yeah um I make a meteorite do me for two and I doome you for twoe um and it comes in the meteorite comes in Tapped yeah okay uh and whenever you tap an artifact token for Mana it adds one Mana of any type that artifact token produced which includes treasure yeah take that gold tokens go ahead swords roxan yep that's sort of what I expected but you still got the metor you gain four life cool bless you oh it's one of those nights go ahead mom problematic go all right um oh so Nelly took two so you should be eight yes okay correct thank you I got there before you chat just barely I guess I gotta go I guess I got to do this I guess maybe I should have tried it last turn s SHOT show off you got it it's got haste okay moving to combat uhuh seven yep go got him okay ontap mhm wait why are you drawing I know right I know you know what I didn't even question it I didn't even question it I was like what else is he going to do wheer yeah what do you want from me I'm playing Magic Gathering um he's a big sleeved Pile in front of draw yeah it looks like my Highlander uh this isn't going to work you're going to do that I need to stop looking at your hand I'm sorry bud you're fine you're fine you're fine was the flute also stopping the plot ability of slick shot no activated abilities of sources it's not it's not an activate oh I could have plotted it yeah but you still have to cast it from Exile so it doesn't really get around it oh then I just have to pay three Ex two other turns self Square self slower gist back sacrifice at creatures you control gain indestructible of turn oh you've got like a back and forth protection combo he's gone he's gone into DNT over here y fascinating fascinating hate that two cards remain yeah I have two yeah you have two oh no I have three okay I have two you have three it's Mom and Mom's very close friend yes this mom and the one that got away like you didn't save me yeah exactly I was like I'm sorry that's actually her origin story right there that's that's all I think about while I'm drinking this tea is this this one Guist that I couldn't prevent from dying my favorite mum detail is inexplicably there's like a little man on the desk the little hul yeah there there's just a little there's a little homie right there just like taking notes and Mom let me tell you the story of the one I couldn't sa I'm going to start telling people that homie is short for homunculi homunculi yeah this little homie this is actually a great cosplay like he's entirely decked up in horizontal stripes and has a writing Implement that's like the size of his own body they should have reprinted her in um uh set with the food and all the fairy tales Wilds of el drain Wilds of el drain and had a little cookie like the little cookie person there right reprint alternate art same thing but just put a little cookie person in the corner special guest mother of runs right I I think that would have been sick all right G what's happening uh I'd like you to discard one of your remaining cards your choice okay it's philia cool dog trigger you got it um block yeah I know I don't know how I'm supposed to get around this it's a hard lock yeah it sucks impossible well well it's not a hard luck do you mind if I give you a uh if not back seating just a German check here oh uh no I'm good okay great um all right hold up I'm G to do a quick little German check myself actually there you go thank you there you go just a moment now I know he has a German card in his hand that narrows it down wait a second this card's Chinese and hey you know what uh don't be afraid to give your buds a little German check every once in a while yeah just to make sure everything's okay all righten de what the hell are you talking about man that's what's up sick good good good just wondering okay I think I need to do it like this tapping meteorite for white oh um yeah this is how this works Lightning Helix targeting mom I will give Mom protection from white sack treasure for red stomp selfless spirit I will uh how big is the thing right now now it'll be lethal it's exactly lethal actually well I don't want to die um well yeah I will sacrifice this to give my creatures indestructible okay so this gets countered okay do you have any cards left in hand no I might have done that wrong I have to spend my treasures cuz the showof doesn't have three toughness does it no okay so shoot okay well it wouldn't have worked anyway all right and then you get in there with one damage a turn with Mother ruin I can get back failure or whatever if I want yeah but I can get in Ram to nine points it was the uh it was the um stomp says damage can't be prevented so I was trying to I had two left right yeah yeah yeah I don't know if that was the correct way of doing that I was trying to yeah please I go I go upstairs oh just to the face I think you uh you Helix the mum Nelson C protects it you stomp to the Dome and then uh but then he just blocks with selfa spirit don't I just block myself a spirit and then trade and then I have nothing yeah you're just dead no matter what oh okay but I didn't play okay are you trying to kill mom like I was I was trying to get selfless Spirit out of the way right and so my thought was if I Target with Helix he uses mom then I can Stomp The well wait doesn't mom die if the stomp reses cuz then damage can't be yeah that also that's that's a happy side effect yeah so but then then you have a 43 in Exile and I have no creatures so if I don't have another creature in hand then you can win right yeah with the with it to the face play oh because cuz if you target my two1 I'm 100% countering The Stomp yeah right because I have to it's just my creature is going to die no matter what I just want to keep you off having so should I have targeted the spirit with the Helix well because then you just tap mom to give the spirit protection and then well I don't know and then I stomp mom and then the Helix resolves because damage can't be prevented I think if you're targeting the the the bird it's oh no you stomp Mom first right but then she still counters it right because you stomp mom she get think there's a way out of no I think you're screwed yeah I think you're cuz the trick is yeah cuz she's uh uh mother of rooms is getting protection so it's countering it not just preventing the damage okay are we drafting well so question to everybody it's already 751 yeah sorry you're going to Blue Ball this stream I'm about to lose yeah yeah we're going okay it's you're going to cuz I got two there right two poison counters oh right two we're we're accelerating yeah faster than ever before uh so this is the last of this of this uh round right yeah sounds right how on Earth so this is Graham wheeler versus and and serge Nelson I'm against Nelson no no this is it's round two I haven't played wheeler or Serge this round two of three yeah it's just round two we're not I don't think we have time to play until we deterministically find a winner though we'd be here for like another 90 minutes what oh no this is this is not going to take long all right so 5050 I'm against this guy yeah or this guy this doesn't do anything five cards or six cards six we're six cards so and I'm playing either wheeler or surge correct okay it's six cards with is this now you have a full nine in your sideboard uh I believe so yes so next round you'll one of your cards will turn into a uh treasure oh gosh excuse me I only like to VCH on stream if it's for comedic value not just as like an embarrassing body function okay uh three lands and uh treasure interesting uh Ryan's saying that um it might tweak the acceleration a little bit in uh in future r Visions now you're saying pace of game is slower than you'd like is that based that's that's not based on this though right cuz when we're we're doing stuff on stream everything is slower right like any of these board games behind me anyone that says like 90 minutes we're like oh yeah that's a three-hour stream CU we talk we explain things I think it's more like the number the number of games before it starts accelerating no we been talking one of the Discord cool sure okay good all right everybody had a treasure yeah yes uh I added a treasure odd even sounds good okay [Applause] dang uh would you like to go first hund sure uh bloop all right uh Crystal fan mhm mono blue mono blue uh I hate it all right would you like to counter my slick shot showoff I'm casting it uh no you got a show off cool oh sorry Kaka everyone knows what it does but this You' got kaka kaka please discard a card uh I am going to counter that one right stupid Sprite I know your pain move to combat mhm I take three yep okay go I'll play a to Academy Taps for I so much we really need you to start taxing his treasures there Nelson it's hard for me to do that when I'm not paired against him well you got you got the dog you got the call the K Command right I'm going to cast the hypnotic Sprite and then I'll pass n those both just got eaten by hypnotic Sprite yeah isn't that annoying yeah yeah skirt's great yeah SK fantastic it doesn't even say in CER it's spell yeah you just get to two for one them every time that is rocks uh for will Exiles it no just C just counter it's only ATB that it does that well so I was thinking of how hard I fold the counter spells and then somehow wheel our wheeler managed to draft all the counter spells I I saw I saw the force will and threw it back yeah I don't know hypnox spr certainly seems like a good place to get in there there's not a ton of counter spells in the cube I feel like the blue early would be really tough like with a three card hand you don't want Force attack yeah block take two go score is eight to seven combat yep Kaka yep no box uh stomp a Sprite uh stomp Miss Griffin did uh did sort of allow for force of well to really see some love in three card blind that's a good point I'm going to tap for six and cast snap Caster Mage targeting Force oh my I'm going to flash cool take three uh I will take three second fourth of will at the stack sorry before after yeah before damage I'm going petty theft oh return it go but wait that's five cards when when do we get to see load Stone colem uh I will attack four for four I'm gonna tap for six and I'll play tamamo the moon Sage I'm gonna lock down your mountain and then I'm going to pass Oh no I got I'm getting some like old early days Canadian Highlander Vibes right now just need to Jae the Mind Sculptor right now cool un tapping wow okay uh wheer deck got really scary and then the sixth card oh I'm super dead is dead the six C don't throw your stuff away cuz unless one of us dies right away we need you to fight even though you're not going to draft anymore oh interesting okay yeah so he doesn't he doesn't grab any cards all right I realiz the deck is locked in right oh really uh I think he should probably be allowed to change stuff in pool i' I'd love to know what the the plan is I don't I don't add new cards but I I think you're not supposed to draft the side maybe you can change that would be my assumption you don't draft but I imag imine you can still do I do I still draw at the the one card at the end of the thing sure why not sure let's say I don't care they're saying you could draft cuz it's more fun oh sure okay well that's true so like just keep playing until someone else dies basically all right sounds all right uh I have effect before the game starts do it I've got a lay line of the Void no graveyard for you okay I feel like I may have missed both times on stuff here but that's fine so I have effects before you take your turn uh oh you also do right yeah I have disruptor flute what are you going to name uh emperor of Bones fascinating so it cost three more and your activate abilities can't so I get to go first yes black male okay uh show me three cards I will and it can't activate abilities is that the other thing you got it activate ability is a source with the chosen name can't be activated unless they're a mana ability fascinating take a look at these three take a look at these three oh Lilia the Veil that's so spicy I can't go anywhere I'm stuck your deck got better too thanks I really like Wheeler's deck is braids ripped or what yeah uh I'm going to take Liliana okay liliana's out cast a spell skyp you got it pass uh exil because of the L line great spell SK I'm going to play this M factory oh I should have showed yeah we had the doggo Liliana the veil and M's Factory yeah I love that BRD is just like wow look at the size of this gem who I'm going to cast a fancer oh baby and then I'll pass do the snakes get death touch tokens one death touch it's amazing how quickly that came to you I I was sitting on a fancer in my board for a long time but I was like we just don't have that many upkeeps and people keep killing all my stuff so I didn't see the benefit to it but this card's kind of good if people keep killing your stuff because it's sort of like two things yeah I'll pass to you if you if this is chill if you're going to force it to spare me fair enough let me get you a snake I oh cuz it's each upkeep that does give you a little yeah no yeah so you do get the one before they can do anything unless they instant I mean wheeler would have just countered it so but I do I have snakes oh wait I I know what I'm supposed to do against wheeler is that still an option maybe it is just a black snake right black one one death touch snake it's okay if we don't have it that's pretty rare yeah still I thought we had everything sorry I'm like thinking so hard about this stupid snake it's okay you're the one who wants Tri to be over on time yeah first of the spare I'll I'll crack all my no uh you yeah uh yeah don't look at me wheeler all right untap yeah bones yeah cost five cost five this card has words on it go okay go go Flash in Failure mhm and animate mistress factory attack with these two flicker that you take four I'm at six go uh cast Dam on failure damn damn [Music] damn have one yeah it's Emperor bones s your spell skate oh uh I pay two to redirect it you got it I pay two to redirect it I pay two oh no all good job a faner oh man uh the lay lines are are uh not getting me there and I spent all my treasure oh yeah sorry search against two po poison okay I Gra the card for the end of the game something about choosing to die rather than take up a plow share and become a Pieceful person spell so this is the last one for this round and then we uh go up to seven cards okay but let's draw five more take from different so I don't draft right I think you should you might as well I'm fine to not I don't know if they have a Ryan do you have a a ruling for this great question right and you know who your opponent is yeah like I'm I'm chill to just be a ghost locked into this deck I mean or just swap around within the thing but I'm I'm I'm fine with this we we have played where you do sure it seems fine and a fifth card from there oh my God six absolutely we're doing that I do this okay okay okay okay okay chat we might have a plan we're on six cards right now right mhm so I'm against Graham guaranteed yes yeah you know your opponent this round does this do anything do I bring in do I how how much do I goozle myself with the big loads that's what everybody wants to know yeah right they all want to know about the big loads everybody how much you're going to goozle yourself Serge can you pass me a treasure oh and this is also the sideboard one where we have nine cards in our sideb we get extra money Treasures right one two three four five six seven eight n 10 uh and so one of them gets converted into a treasure yeah so we take that card and put it back into the deck as well is that correct uh sure why not all right so I get one bonus treasure I also get a bonus treasure does anybody have treasure thank you but now you have too much treasure so you'll lose the I I will go down to you have to spend one yeah well I don't have to but I'm incentivized to okay put put a card back for that treasure and there's this treasure and that's waiting okay so I've got 10 cards here so I'm going to put one back and turn it into a treasure uh sure I haven't done this yet ever so probably not going to now all right so ready for this uh I ran out of treasures can I have someone's treasure I'm going to have one here one for you thank you you okay oh I guess I need another one too cuz I'm about to get one when I grab my Lance thank you all right I'm so ready sweet okay uh that's right check let me know when you're ready I'm sorry treasure there and I'm ready okay okay I'm on ples PL swamp I'm on Triple Mountain sick I have I have a beginning of game action okay it's lay line of Life Force I don't know what this does what creature spells can't be countered oh sure oh oh I'm going to playan Academy and I'm going to pass okay I'm going to play um it's impossibly sick I'm going to play a fan s pass I'm going to respond okay than so how many Treasures are you allowed to have six end of round end six seven eight I'm going to add eight blue okay I'm going to use two of the blue and a red I'm going going to ionize that great so what happens counters the spell uh and it deals two to you I take two yeah go let me know when you're passing priority passing priority uh I'm going to float to Red okay I'm going to fire blast you okay I take four uh and then I'm going to use two of my blue to cast snap Caster Mage okay and I'm going to flashback fire blast Fire Blaster thinking okay what am I at you're at four the fire blast on the stack targeting you to kill you failure yep failure resolves yep sword splashers Target failure uh crack three hypnotic spray your sword Splash yeah that's F wow all right hi Graham hey what's up uh what you got Mountain on Forest I got mountain mountain mountain what the hell's happening this round I get two poison did we get that I get twois I need to get two poison at six I'm on the play yeah okay Crystal ve y but what what about how adorable filia would look like hooked to a little plow did you did you pay for your stuff fairly like okay all right Allan Academy eight I believe I believe you you tell me you cast fire blast tce sack mountains the first time yeah that's chill Vortex oh baby trigger hit you for three I'm going to cast a braid to deal three damage to it okay maybe I should have cast the disruptor pass you take two I'm at eight uh the game has suddenly become accelerated I'm going to cast a soul ring I'm going to play a treasure Vault uh-huh I'm going to cast a spell skite okay pass no blackmail uh my turn I take two yeah sack that roxan uh can that Dome me the meteor right yeah yes I am at six so yeah targeting yeah targeting you oh then I can pay I pay two to redirect to this you know what I'll I'll actually use a treasure token toir to spell skite pass the turn take selfir Vortex I'm going to sacrifice treasure Vault to make a treasure token okay draw for the turn uh I'd like to cast Fury do you take two from suur Vortex he did yeah okay uh Fury oh yeah okay uh four damage to rockan okay pass take two we all just pivoted to bra yeah the fire blast fire blast is impossibly sick I felt so good about my line of Life Force against your last deck also like I had a work coil in my hand and a steel serif like I was planning to try to gain a lot of life this game I'm glad my lay line of life horse finally gets to actually see play yeah it was on the table yeah just been in my box for like a decade or something maybe two decades yeah no I was I was hyped to see this and drafted into it I was like hell yeah oh I guess at this point we're supposed to be digging with treasures right uh I spend five Mana to cast kikii Mir breaker uh with that on the stack yep Lightning Helix the fury uh I will crack a treasure to redirect to lightning uh the dispel skyp okay uh I still I gained three life uh you can't gain life oh right pleas can't gain life oh well then I should have done this differently do you want to do it differently yeah yeah yeah I Target you with Lightning Helix I know you can still just redirect it I think I go to one and try and save the treasure in that case oh okay cool all right well I'll stomp you then well then that one I redirect sure to spell sky yeah do it all right I make a second Fury I attack with two Furies okay okay uh so you two each get a card yeah then we draft in so now this is round seven right so seven card hands oo baby girl oh wait we don't take seven cards we just not quite not yet um I tried to count up to 13 poison and I broke it no I actually just said it to back to I said it to nothing oh you just took it away okay that that makes sense I am no longer a player in uh the little poison thing on the overlay doesn't really work with two uh two characters that's reasonable that isn't supposed to be able to happen yeah that makes sense I'm spending a treasure to dig seven card hand if you got to seven if if you got him all right one two three four five six seven man so two more cards are going to go in I'm going to gain two Treasures shouldn't you be neutral because if you went up to nine like you went down to nine and then you get to play one more card from your hand shoot you're right I need to get two cards back we're up to seven energy now yeah crap what were they oh what's that you are correct I have singular seven cards that might have altered well all rights whoops whoops whoops I'll just do this then oops and once we have drafted we get our lands and we get our treasure I remember you want to get a good seven thanks Paul keep keep some lands spells appreciate you Paul uh do we have our lands yes my lands are locked in do we have hold on now's lock I only have nine cards in my support so that's all right but wait shouldn't I have one more no because you go up in hand oh right this turn you don't good good good I want that extra treasure though okay I'm adding a treasure I have my lands locked I'm adding a treasure lands locked 1 2 3 four 5 six Nelly Nelly all right can you beat the turn one kill I don't think so no but oh we're tied too we we have

playing hard control you don't you don't have a slaying Academy yet no he hasn't gone he hasn't gone yet I'm going to cast this Destructor flute oh yeah that's fine nameing the C do that uh sure I'll name fire blast okay okay um go ahead uh toan Academy y this guy okay end of turn I'm going to cast the filia [Music] uh yeah you got failure ont Castile [Music] Sera um gonna add a bunch of blue and one and I'm going to ionize that okay I take two uh and I have four glue left and then but when you pass to stuff I'm going to nod let me know when you're going to going to stuff step um move to stuff move to stuff uh yeah I'm not going to attack go ahead go wait did you also have a combat phase on your turn I did but I didn't attack oh that's got a snap Caster Mage yeah we don't know that true okay am supposed to trade this for that sure all right I'm G to attack that changed my mind um yeah I take uh I take a to two we have an attack trigger oh sure I'll taret one of your Treasures thanks sorry I I really didn't want to attack last turn look at me showing off what the cards do rather than making any misplays I beat you again chat I beat you I'm going to not me we don't miss anything you own me I'm I'm going to crack and that and I'm going to Brazen barer the disruptor flute okay that resolves uh take two yeah use it eight go go seror flute I'll respond yeah float to Red okay and

um then I'm going to tap this so I have two red tap this for five blue uh I'm going to use two of that blue to cast snap Caster Mage uhhuh I would Target fire blast why am I have four what did they take two oh I yeah and then I'm going to try to fire blast you for the remaining four I'll try to it's not going to work I guess do you have Mana in your pool no but I have five Treasures all right well they're going to cost you yeah get yeah I'm gonna Target my own philia with my Z spers wait a minute this might cost me um he hooo I'm getting I can't believe I'm getting he hooo to uh I'm going to try to force a well that uh pitching the hypnotic Sprite on the swords yeah it's fine okay all right down to four all right I lose two poison or gain up to eight Serge I fight Graham blue green green I have red red red neat uh you go first check this out okay questing Beast hot AA uh hold on a second here you said wait I have a family all right move to there's a lot of damage can't be prevented in the it's kind of sweet yeah are we going to put that blue blue blue 10 one in oh uh I've actually got a cool effect before this I'm going to sacrifice a treasure token mhm mountain mountain I'm going to cast a pestermite and tap it down before damage all right oh no NOP my reflexes are too fast okay wheeler I can't beat this counterburn deck you can't block it's no it dies because you have the because it doesn't it doesn't tap oh sick still there I take four sorry I just assumed no no no no it's okay sorry yeah sorry it's untap untap a creature until end of turn it gains hex proof reach and whenever this creature becomes tapped it deals becomes tapped it deals damage equal to it untap I'm going to play A Wasteland I'm going to play a s ring five Mana I'm going to cast Kiki JY counter spell I love Graham's new deck it's got big kimola vibes yes I pass you can attack you can't block okay okay I take two the ghost is helping you dude I'm at two oh it's colorless whoops I've fudged that oh because I used all my wets um wow I actually really well we're probably fine um kite cell arsonist I turn your pestermite into a Tre go two lethal threats pestermite kiky JY Wasteland soul ring three cards still damn I cast Fury all right uh one two three four five I have held the um I'm going to deal four damage yeah it's like something on this card must I just I had to check uh I'm going to sacrifice my pestermite and a mountain while you're tapped out to cast a braid to deal three damage to your kite sail thingy ah after all trigger oh yeah W what is it word one he's got to use all his treasur oh go I thought I got out of there for free God he taxed me treasure I pass you still have five Treasures even after our game yeah all right pass your to my graveyard this card heads blue man oh let's just ignore the fact that I have the Wasteland from when I inevitably fight wheeler yeah that'll be good uh oh you sacked the pestermite I it was a treasure it was a treasure yeah well it becomes not a treasure once this dies but for the with the treasure uh I actually can't cast the rest of my cards because I'm out I'm out of treasure oh okay yeah that was all right uh we drafted get a card yeah oh my God oh I me questing Beast and then stuff to protect the questing Beast is you know a pretty solid strategy yeah I thought so too um I'm going to put the six cards I just saw back and uh put I'm going to put them over here unfortunately I also had a lethal Rock sand but I couldn't oh didn't have red I couldn't let Kiki resolve or else I would die yeah that's fair it's like does Rock sand just just have meteors constantly falling to the ground around her like as she just like walks around so so we're up one card now so everyone should be up one treasure all card's great shifting froon catop okay neat and by frosted on you mean ceratops yes so this is deterministic I'm fighting wheeler that sounds right there only round two right yeah this only round two oh maybe it's only round two is it okay you're fighting wheeler or Nelson or okay it's not deterministic good I'm going to spend a treasure to look for more cards no you know what I like that PL I like oh these are terrible well sucks I guess suck oh we're up to seven cards now I knew that yeah okay whatever I'll I'll Nelson's got is is H sudden death here whereas sergeon wheeler each have two sure two losses to give yeah all right so this gets put back in get a treasure now that everyone's decided to go full burn it seems go a lot faster it's true oh then this is I mean it's interesting cuz like you it's it's tough to make a three card hand that has enough damage in it to kill somebody even at 10 but once you get up to seven and then treasure because we're on a new round I am ready I also am ready I am similarly ready I have 10 cards on my sideboard uh this one can turn one into treasure I'm doing that right now okay then grab L get another treas hell all right all right I'm fighting Nelly my deck is meant to pre on Wheeler not like this oh I have three oh he did the burn plan it's off the burn plan uh I'm going to play oh no you go first the ghost goes first I was going to say crystal vein yep I mean I don't see any way that I get out of this but Vortex oh uh I'm going to hypnotic Sprite that okay go UNT play aarian Academy mhm tap seven play fian Flesh gorer mhm all my homies hate flesh George um tap three mhm big loads mhm go ahead so that's um non artifact spells cost one more cost one more so I know we're not supposed to concede but there's just nothing I can do um show off yeah oh God if you could one shot him in the air I would love that but everything is more expensive oh right cuz the stupids big loads yeah it's all about all about the loads um I'm just dead on board yeah uh all right okay rewind then is ahead of hell of a drug uh ignore the showof you never saw anything uh to no yes I do need to do that because of rockan uh yep two to the Dome I take go I'm going to slip Rox and out the back for two Mana put a one one count bonus creatures Target creatur okay I'm on these L uh you're on uh muu I'm on mono red okay you want to do anything before I start playing no I have more poison than you I'm playing a mistress Factory and disruptor flet naming Fury okay go ahead don't draw uh I'm going to go Wasteland sure I'm going to cast a Sal ring yep uh Sal ring is going to cast a spell skite you got it uh I'm supposed to have one treasure token here I pass all right look you have two for sure like shouldn't got I Reed oh you yeah we using the commander overlay and serge PL AA ring that means you have to kill him right we're trying yeah how it works cast is failure yeah okay untap um this creature it's called selfless Spirit sure that chill yeah attack Exile my selfless Spirit oh interesting you want to make it bigger yeah exactly I'm you can block if you want uh I'll block yeah or you can re however you want obviously yeah okay and then it'll come back my friend will get bigger and I'm say go uh end step I'm going to sack this for blue and two I'm going to cast pestermite yeah you've got to pite I'm going to tap your white Source I don't have you don'ts I'm going to tap your your ghost I mean you can tap a treasure token if you want you can tap my ghost that's fine all right untap yep uh I'm going to cast kikii um thinking Kiki cheeky on the stack I want to swords pestermite uh I will pay two life to redirect a spell guide sure you lose two life swords resolves okay um Kiki gy resolves all right I'd like to Target pestermite okay I'm gonna cast another spell it's co against command I'll deal two damage to kikii and destroy your Sol ring I could have done this better forgot that the spell guy was like didn't need double protection all right uh I have a pest my token yes you can tap or untap something um I'm going UNT a mountain awesome uh I'm going to hit you for four four yeah I'm going to hit you for four okay uh then I'm going to cast am I dead 1 two three four five six seven I'm at eight I'm going to cast in a braid to blow up your your jar thing jar flute jar flute uh I got a whole jar of flute here okay he could go oh no that's bad sorry can I take that back yeah cuz I only have four man your Fury anyway I can't cast kill my well it's going to be this probably yeah I mean I Target your dog sure um yeah and then and then you win I think so yeah yes right yeah I'm at eight you're at six you hit me for three yeah uh actually if it matters I can Prismatic ending you're Prest right oh yeah okay I got Wast line for your other thing all right that's fine I'm at nine get a card people are dying drafty yeah okay yo where have you been all my life common from AFR so now we're Serge and Wheeler yeah Graham and Nelson okay so only two rounds left right something like that yeah yeah I think pretty sure it's only that's all that's mathematically that's possible is two rounds left um okay can I whatever gotten to the bottom of the stack I've been grabbing from most of most often yeah I need to do that for my sanity Academy is on the watch list Academy feels messed up yeah is the Premier Academy pilot of the format this format yeah you hear that Ryan SP Ryan come after him need more uh more people on the other side of the bench against wheeler I have to pitch a card to get a treasure do the treasure tokens functionally live in the command Zone does that matter do we care no because they're also game objects yeah but all right no cuz you can you can Target them with spells and you can that was a silly question yeah yeah yeah yeah okay so I'm fighting between yeah I guess between G magic Zs don't exist between games it's not just draft Academy and win like you got to have the actual other cards for it and and Wheeler focused very early on maintaining I I it was as good in the early game so much early game to try and get no I I I like what Wheeler's game like the way Wheeler's been playing this game it's been fine yeah I agree but yeah I'd keep an eye on yeah all right uh I put a card back everyone get your treasure for the turn yeah I haven't put I haven't done that yet this man needs lands so I'm playing Serge now uh no no I'm yeah I'm playing wheeler it's the termin you're playing um sorry I need to put CS back yeah there's a there's a possibility if wheeler wins and Graham wins that wheeler wins on the spot right now yeah yeah yeah okay ghost ghost I'm doing my part from Beyond the Grave I'm do my you have no idea from the Exile this is the kind of thing that gets people to get up from their computer and go for a long walk if it happens in like team fight tactics you're just like I can't believe they had a kalista two I got it sorry while you're here Ryan it's funny we were talking about the the the rules that you wrote up earlier and uh the the the parts in the document and this is not a criticism because I really enjoy what you've built here this is super fun but the way that you've written the thing I think when wheeler was reading it aloud two or three times I think you use the phrase just like uh you another team battler or or just like an auto battler that's meaningless to me I have never played or looked at an auto battler in my life so when you're like just like an auto battler it does this I'm like cool I guess so it's just kind of funny I'm coming at I'm coming at this from the magic side wheeler was like hey you want to do a autobattler cube and I was like I don't know what that is sign me up sounds sounds fun and it is yeah adjective plus cube is usually enticing enough to get any magic player to want to do it yeah I was like what's not a badler cube I was like I assumed it was like going to be a like a thing that plays itself oh right like you we as players fight fight a thing that is like programmatically set up to like do a thing all right we starting yeah all right I got mountain mountain Plains I got mountain mountain Island all right uh I have more poison mhm so I will go first okay I'm going to go Wasteland sure I'm going to cast a sa ring okay I'm going to use S ring to cast a spell ski I'll respond yeah three I would like to ionize your spell skatee yes that is a thing that you have done uh am I dead on fire I don't know is that a go I'm going to pass you're dead yeah I'm going to play Academy yeah I was trying to think about that I Wast land the Academy I float respon fire fire blast yeah ioniz fire blast snapcaster fire blast oh I knew this I was supposed to switch to the black deck and play lay line or the void and then he can't me or yeah that no that was the mistake cuz I knew it was against you so I'm eliminated which sucks no no no I yeah yeah yeah I knew how to beat him you still got the black de over there but I brought no no no I've got it fully assembled I just wasn't paying attention cuz I knew for this matchup um L line plus all the removal spells and I have a long goodbye as well oh dang it nope that was uh that was fatigue great great run all all the same search I'm on the white was for a flag oh yeah the a Restless biovac bivak bivak s right you're going first but I have the flash flute y so I'm going to just name questing Beast so it cost three more reasonable Crystal vein okay Roan right probably should have name Ro sand instead oh well do me for two take Nelly is at eight go ahead swords rockand you Graham is at 14 I have to go to the Seven Treasures yes tap uh play Miss Factory M and take go slck SHOT show off yeah three Vortex oh Vortex is good trigger hit for three um how am I supposed to play around legless here sorry I'm at eight and I'm going to take five go three and then am I GNA be able to kill fast enough oh I guess I could do that yeah I have enough Mana to do that let's hope so yeah I want to take three okay okay yeah all right and then I want to cast cig against command um dealing two and uh making you discard a card oh casting it after the fact so it doesn't pump for combat yeah deal two to this I assume yeah right yeah sorry uh yeah I will discard Lightning Helix okay on top I lose two yep only at three yeah this is fine uh Prismatic ending the vortex oh oh fun that just just it okay and then just wait H yeah I'll say go bloodthirsty cool when it ENT that does when it enters I may pay two in a red any number of times and when I pay that cost one or more times I put that many plus and plus one counters on it and Exile that many instant or sorceries with Mana value three or less for my graveyard and copy them and I can pay the copy without paying Mana cost I pay that cost once okay light Helix exiling Lightning Helix so put a counter on bloodthirsty adversary and I cast Lightning Helix for free sweet Rel result we taret you great I take three okay we have a deterministic winner way to go because that illuminates can I am I alive well no you die to Lightning Helix okay I was confused when and that puts you to 10 poison which means everyone's eliminated but wheeler good game good game good game thank you for drafting this everybody heck yeah I think it's a lot of fun I agre this was great yeah good times I want to do this again yeah should gr be able to win as a ghost yes yeah AB absolutely speaking as a ghost yes I mean no no it makes for a better that that was that's like also the awkward spot where even the cube uh kind of primer says like when it's down to two people you know maybe just don't have the ghosts just do one one but we went down to two people in the middle of like a round right so yeah that was super super fun thank you uh wheeler for suggesting this and putting the Cube together cuz that's a pain so really really appreciate your work on that and uh thank you Ryan for making this thing and I will be uh we we will be uh observing its development keenly I I imagine I I would predict that man we got to get Adam on this this kind of this is kind of nonsense yeah is there a point system no no okay there I think there's a just don't put it in the thing they're looking into the academy yeah well hey that was a lovely evening
