Yu-Gi-Oh Players Rate BEST & WORST Magic the Gathering Cards! ft @TolarianCommunityCollege!

A couple of months ago we made a video where we read and reacted to some

magic

cards

from The Gathering. A common complaint. None of us know enough about

magic

to know if we are right about these

cards

, so we decided to call a friend and today we have the teacher a very very very very very good magic player some say he is the

best

no no no one says that of all time no one says I check card sleeves I'm not the

best

magic player don't build me like that you've seen I play, but I know more than you, yeah how about magic and probably the Cardinal Dragon shield?

Yes, yes, we know the same about the best card slippers, so he has put together a collection of magic cards that he will show us and we will try to count. him if we think good bad ugly some of these are very good some of these are very bad some of these are average or I played a prank on you and they are all great or they are all terrible and you are about to embarrass yourself with your card evaluation skills probably can you start with this I like it, you do it well, the color of the sleeve means nothing, we have Bob Lord from assassination, what a strong name I thought it would be good to start with Yu-Gi-Oh because it sounds like a Yu-Gi-Oh card Gi-Oh in a legendary way I was going to say vegetarian creatures oh God was the first thing I said as long as your life is not equal to half that you are starting the total life then if they have received any type of damage, it's okay, we have I have to start for now.

Any of you know the starting life total, that's what I was going to ask because everyone was in agreement, what is the starting life total? Imagine four thousand, okay. twenty thousand like twenty twenty twenty like 10 times zero no no like two zero twenty so like a kuribo could finish you off in Magic I don't know what that means but yeah it's fine as long as your life total is less than or equal to half your starting life total is indestructible whenever another creature other than a token you control dies, put a plus one plus one counter on target creature and sting if I can because this mentioned last time what a counter is, a way to add it to the card, so a counter adds to what a card does, so a counter plus one plus one adds plus one plus one uh Power, toughness, a flying counter adds to flying and I love it This letter doesn't say what spur means, which is good for you and me.

I'm not telling, so you'll have to guess what it does well. We can also talk about what's going on here. I was going to mention how hard it is to play. Magic cards have a cost. You have to spend it. It's hard to sound like you Yu-Gi-Oh I just learned this today you just left them that's crazy you have to pay for your stuff in Magic well I see normally as a Yu-Gi-Oh player reading this my first impression is like this, this it just means it's a gray star, a fireball, and some kind of tree, which is a skull, oh, okay, sorry, Mr.

Chick, okay, that's what I would assume is that it's those three things. I guess you need a land of death, a land of fire and a land, you're right, what are the two for them, anyone's two, plus anyone's two, so you have to do it. The total cost of this is five and of those five, one must be a forest, one must be a mountain, one must be a swamp. and two can be anything. I will say that this is a bad card. I'm going to say that this is a very, very good card. I'm going to say this is also good and my reasoning is that it boosts your other creatures and you like it. he can't be destroyed I mean, yeah, that would be pretty cool.

I'm giving the go-ahead. I'm giving the go-ahead. I'm going to go ahead and say that now Alec wins. Oh wait, what? Yes, this is it, look. this is a card, this happens a lot in Magic, there's a lot of text and it's not good, it's not like you can, maybe for fun for Giggles, play a card like this, maybe in Commander, but there's no other real home for her. Too expensive, it's five four four, so we have what's called the vanilla test from the beginning in Magic's vanilla test. Its power and toughness are at least equal to its total casting cost, so is it a four four four that's a vanilla test if it is? five four four better be good and what makes your life total that's very subject to ambiguity doesn't do much with counters that's a very normal card true name Nemesis this is a merman creature Rogue or a Murphy Road Rogue creature as a name true Nemesis enters the battlefield choose a player name true Nemesis has player protection Chosen this creature cannot be blocked targeted damage or Charmed by anything controlled by that player okay, already before we delve into this, I think this The card It sucks and this is why I guess I know that Magic has Commander, which is four-player.

If I choose you, that's fine, you can't affect it, but they can't if it's the four of us. they like to play, they might do it because other people would just kill. I think this is decent. I won't go, I won't say crazy things, but I think that's what happens in a 1v1 game, you just pick your opponent and what they're going to do. Did you know? I have another question, yes, so this is the Internet, yes, one also, this costs three, two of them have to be on an island, one can be anyone, okay, I'm going to change air to men, okay, I'm going to say that it has a place.

I don't think it's broken, uh, yeah, Alec's right, I think you said arrested or crazy or something. Alec is 100 right, this was made for Commander, but here's what happened: we have our Legacy format, which is actually very close to Yu-Gi-Oh where all the cards are legal and this broke that format for a while where It was out of control because it was 1v1 and it's great, I name you now, you can't do anything to him, you can't block him, you can. You didn't destroy it and just put some heavy equipment on it or buff it with some merfolk lords, it was a big deal because it was only available in Commander Decks that weren't printed and then everyone in Legacy needed four copies for their deck and at the same time period , this was selling for 150 a card and everyone was mad because Wizards couldn't reprint it, they wouldn't reprint it for a long time now that they've reprinted it now it's worth it, even though it's worth a dollar now, imagine if you were someone who bought a Playset for your legacy deck for $600 and now it's worth a buck or two because they've reprinted it inside some of them, yeah, yeah, so far.

Alex is doing great, yeah, okay, the smothering tithe artwork is him throwing coins around. throwing coins, which is what a lot of Magic the Gathering

players

feel like, man, I want to throw coins, it's an enchantment, I don't know what's wrong, so it was an enchantment. I guess I think you said it like ours. not our spells, your spells seemed more like instances and sorceries to me and the enchantment is on the battlefield and stays there, so the effect is there for many continuous turns Bill yes, every time an opponent draws a card, that player can pay two two like and I guess so, two of any color, if the player doesn't, you create a colorless treasure artifact token with what is this symbol, a counter that means touching the card.

Alec is right, he's fine, sacrifice this artifact, add one mana of any color. difficult because this is the first one that is not a creature and now I don't even know, I ask what kind of land I guess that is, but it's not allowed. Oh, you mean the symbol, yeah, this one right there is a white plane mana. I'm I'm going to call this pretty good, I think it's good because I mean, as you know, in Yu-Gi-Oh we have gates or things that make your opponent have to pay to play, this is like forcing them to do it. either they consume their resources quite a bit or they give you more or they give you yes I'm going to say good too I'm going to call good I'm going to call good I'm pretty good I'm here This is very good This In fact, it's what we call in Magic a basic item, which which means you should consider having it if you are into this color.

Now it's a Commander-only staple, but in Commander, if every time someone goes to do that effect, in this case draw, they have to pay limited resources, which means they can do less on their turn or you get a benefit, It's huge, it adds up so fast that foreign vampires enter the battlefield, each opponent loses two lives and you win. I don't need to read more. I think it's bad. from Yu-Gi-Oh I learned something, okay, the only life point that matters is the last one, so why would I care about losing two lives if I have 20? If it's a type of game where you know life isn't really important until you're actually dead, then I'm going to say this, yeah, it's probably not that good, I'm saying wrong, I'm giving thumbs up, but yeah Definitely a thumbs down, if we're fair, it's not. bad like a really dumb and worthless card it's more on the side between bad and mediocre uh there's like a limited format that maybe you'd have to delve into it but overall in the game no one uses this card so it's something like this.

So there's a similarity to Yu-Gi-Oh, which is just that yeah, life isn't that big of a factor to think about, so it takes too long for it to become any kind of thing, it's very, it's meh at best and most likely bad and no one is messing with us oh this is a cyclonic rift or a cyclonic rift. I like the instant I like art and oh, it's a bit hollow, isn't it? Yes, that's one of our comebacks. okay so it's instant which is basically the equivalent of our spell cards you can play it during your opponent's turn yeah it's a quick play or wait I almost learned a lot about Yu-Gi-Oh today is the return .

Permanent target that is not land, so if you cast a spell and the spell will go to the graveyard that is not a permanent overload six. You can cast the spell for its overload cost if you do so. You change its text by replacing all instances of the target with each, so it returns each non-land. permanent I'm going to say this is good, I mean well, I mean, it seems like it's a strong removal, I mean, because if the permanents don't go away and they just sit there and you have to deal with it, it seems like the way to deal with it also the cost is very low, it seems like the cost is crazy because I feel like putting cards and returning things to your opponent's hand is not that good, they still have to pay the cost to play, yes that's true, yes . but in Magic, where they have to like things that spin, but like this, you use this and it disappears, they'll play it again.

I don't know, I just think it's like you're angry. I'm saying okay, this is crazy. oh never mind, think before, what this allows me to do is that if I pay the high cost, no one plays, no one pays the cheap cost, unless you are in a strange situation, you pay the high cost and all the cards that don't They are yours, they are simply deleted. we're just clearing it seven mana yeah but that's it it's like you're back to turn zero this is making me except wait wait wait wait the game will last so long yeah we go through the room too we go through turn two, okay.

He had the wrong mentality, yes, he laughs. Prodigal Sorcerer deals one damage to target creature or player. Well, this symbol is, uh, yeah. I'm going to say this is bad. I'm not impressed. I mean, it seems like just causing harm is still causing harm. It doesn't matter, like Alex said, until, unless it's the last damage, in which case I understand that the creature, the summoning disease effect will affect its effects, can you? So you can't use its effect on the turn, you have to wait until the next turn. So this is actually a classic card, it's one of the first, it's from the first magic set and it's been reprinted several times.

It's debatable where you could put it, but it's definitely at least a good regular, so it's good, it's not broken, but the ability to only do one damage by tapping first, that's not bad because you can take out a lot of creatures that maybe only have the resistance. of one or creatures that took some damage and survived with one or simply what we call pinging. We're going to ping our opponent every turn. I guess I kept forgetting that dealing damage means the mother or creature can die if it only has one tongue, okay, this is an adult golden dragon, this is the shortest card so far flying LifeLink, hurry up, may I ask?

How's life? It means that if it deals damage, you gain life for that much damage. It does mean that he can, I suppose, act. Sticking alternatives means you can attack immediately. It's flying, so it can't be blocked. Locked. Correct. Four strings. Three hardness. Okay, so if this costs five and it's four, three are the other things that are worth that extra cost in the sense that I see it as Paul could probably say like this, like a blue-eyed white dragon, it's big, it comes out. Like hey, we're here, he can fly, every time he deals damage he goes like he's hazel, he can attack quickly, but like Paul said, is it worth it?

I mean, I think it's the kind of cost of hey, if I have this in the field I think it has a lot of value, it just doesn't have the other black thing on it, I guess there's no protection, it's like you're thinking a lot, yeah, this car He's probably crazy, I'm fine, I was going to say medium, he's mad.just because it requires two different mana services. Additionally, it requires two different mana sources. It's five by four or three and reserve all those effects. I think it is normal. I think it's not bad, but I don't think it's very good.

I'll call it man, I'll call it man like it's cool, it's probably useful, but like meh, yeah, it's meh, uh, uh, what you're also asking for is that much mana. Are there things in those colors that are better and with five mana? In red or white or red and white, what else can you get? The list is long, so the only place this might have some use is in the more limited format, which is called limited, where you don't have access to all the Magic cards, but you only have to deal with what was in the set.

It surprises me that a letter can have three words, yes, text box, yes, something unheard of in Yu. -Gi-Oh, and I might also point out that the font is not size 2, but is actually a readable font. This is a rustic studio. Okay, every time an opponent casts a spell, he draws a card and the List It player plays well. I'm going to say okay. because drawing cards is good it has to be good, I mean, drawing cards is good and that's how to do it persistently, two water costs, doesn't that mean if you're playing, you know I have water decks?

I would assume so, if you're playing a water deck like you mentioned, why not play this? Yeah it's broken, it's basically a blue staple in Commander, people hate how ubiquitous you are if you're in blue, you gotta run it people. I hate that it's like, yeah, you have to have it in your deck. It's boring that everyone has to have it. What happens if you play several of these? You can not. Commander is one for one card per deck, so that's where it's played. This does not. So what's really interesting is that this was originally printed a long time ago, it was legal in standard, it was legal in Legacy or whatever and it doesn't work, no one runs it there, but in Commander this is awesome, no, so It's a kind of explosion.

What I think about all of this, this video we're making right now, Magix has multiple formats, it makes it very difficult to evaluate the cards. It's so strange that it doesn't have at least a second format. I understand you mean the way the game works. The multiplayer doesn't really work, but I can't believe Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't have the equivalent of the standard one. We only play cards from the recent year or two or three in Magic. What we do sometimes is go, you know? I'm a little bored with Commander. Now I'll play popper. Now I'll play Modern.

Vice versa and then you can continue playing Magic, but you mix it up a little bit, but the final card, oh, I can't read that. It's time to walk Time to walk Looks old again Take an extra turn after this What I'm going to say Broken I feel like this car should be banned I love that the tech side is so big oh wow band before the release like not, no, this wouldn't be oh, this is a green pot, right? This was in the first Magic set. uh, it's part of what's called the Power Nine, which are considered the nine most powerful but also the most broken cards in all of Magic. it's abandoned like that it's banned in Legacy it's restricted in vintage it's abandoned Commander uh it's banned it's broken it's crazy yeah be cool I'll pass two and take another turn it's yeah oh my god yeah that's not real either because of the way it would cost This card, I think is the cheapest, costs at least several thousand if not more than several thousand dollars, this is fake, sorry, it's fake.

I pressed Ctrl p on my printer, uh, it's fake. I can't afford one. I don't have any of the Power Nine. Would you like me to find out how much it costs? Sure if you wanted a damaged version of the cheaper version of this, which is unlimited printing and is where they stopped printing it. it would only cost you two thousand five hundred dollars oh really yeah yeah oh wow if you wanted to if you wanted to get one that's not damaged the current median listed is uh 7500 for one that maybe looks like this now again P, you understood me. which I hit command P.

I have about 20 of them up, uh, okay, yeah, it's interesting, so I could basically buy a couple dozen of these. It's very expensive, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you had a power nine, what would that discussion pot look like? Greed, wouldn't that be one of them? Yes, yes, let us know the nine strongest and most obscenely powerful Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the comments. Well, I hope you enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoyed it. Our very special guest leaves a like if I made sure to check out his channel on Larian Community College. You probably already know what's good, see you in the next one.
