episode 353 I'm Brando, I'm here with Ryan and we're going to dip our toes in the oil. Now it's our theme song. Hi Ryan, we're back for another Whirlwind adventure. How are you? We are back. Well, what's going on? Wow, we said everything differently and now I'm not sure how to respond to anything, but I do know that at this point in the show I usually say that you should go check out our business Daddy's fusiongamingonline.com because they are your source of information. all your gaming needs, oh specifically, all your forexia gaming needs, they will all be earned and if you buy any, you will do it anyway, always CCO slam babies save five percent, that's what he said, I said I was going to say, but when you use with that code you save five percent off and all the things that you're going to buy and I want to leave this out there, we haven't released one yet because I haven't had time to do anything with what you sent me except CCO's bbo is coming, it's Brando's box openings on the Commander Cookout YouTube channel, yes, and we know that it's good that when you buy a sealed product you should do it in the country you live in because you like the suppliers that They cannot send sealed. product over the border, strange rules, yes there is a thing, so our friends in the land of the free, which is the United States, where they use the bald eagle to piss on bald eagle to get gas and freedom dollars to buy stuff it's that real yeah it's that real 100 Church on the internet is great so if you live there and you want to get a discount on your booster boxes we have a great solution for you oh yeah because you can use the article and then send it to me and I will open it for you to make a The video will be super fun and then I will mail it all to you in a box, so if you like Brando's eccentricity, if you want to see what he looks like when he doesn't brush his hair, if you want.

Watch him try to open booster packs. I'm very bad at that. I will give it to you. I'll let you interpret how you want. You can contact Brando if you are a sponsor. It's very easy because you can. do it on the patreon exclusive Discord if you want to do it on Twitter on CCO Brando there and you can coordinate, yes you can coordinate a box that goes to Brando that he will open on the CCO bbo, you will see all the cards. Yeah, I guess so you can check if he's scamming you or not, we'll post it and it'll be totally fun, we'll yell at you and mention if you have a nickname that you'll be on.

At that same moment, that way you can still order the Fusion cards and get a discount and then at that moment when you receive them, they are open, so we are not breaking the law. I love breaking the law, except we don't break much, oh. yeah, sure, and I promise you that 90 of the time I won't steal, oh well, yeah, that's a very high percentage. The odds are in your favor that I won't keep your cards. Alright, maybe some chips, although I know you. I love non-aluminum chips and basics and I know you love saving and accumulating junk.

I know you love all those things and you leave them all over your house and then when you get the cards you throw them on the floor and forget about them. and you put them on later, that's your favorite thing, that's my favorite thing, yeah, so those are the ones I was talking about those 10, yeah, that's all the straw, yeah, that's right, liliana's 14th omen or whatever they opened I remember one time they opened like seven of the same weird ones all on the floor and they stayed there for a long time. I was really upset with them talking about straws, we have Cecil's curb hit, seven, it's out, oh yeah, number eight CCO Crazy Eights is on tape, but because I'm going on vacation and I'm not on this timeline yet, not available yet, coming soon, yes if you are a backer you can get it early as long as Tyler can make it in time, big shout out. to Tyler for doing all the hard work on that and to Joe for doing all the hard work on this show that's on YouTube and wherever you listen to it and you should watch it there.

I just said it, very well, I said it. very politely because I'm serious and I don't want anyone to think I'm joking when I say you should watch us on YouTube because it's really good oh man fantastic we actually forgot to do something in last week's bonus episode and I know what which is because you told me before filming started that we forgot to give away the prize for guessing which Commander we were going to do in the bonus episode last week, right, yeah, okay, so this is probably for the episode pre-show 3 51 and at this point in this timeline it was 353 and I have the winner who guessed to get this Lavon and the haunted do you remember yeah that was a long time ago?

Remember how bad the clues were, they were terrible and they still have it I told you they're smart, they're smart, one guy and I think I might have been the winner, he said, "Okay, I'll post it." I'm going to guess this and everyone was like, "Yeah, me too." yeah me too yeah they were all right or wrong together yeah and luckily for Scott C Scott is like s-e-e s-e-a no just C yeah like the letter c yeah um Scott um coxsworth Scott could be a winner if he sends a mail email to Commandercook gmail.com tell us if you want a booster pack, a sticker pack that may contain new stickers that can say in this timeline yes or a CCO token pack which I think the Ryan Zombies no longer have.

I think we're out of those ideas. I dropped some of them Once, they fell on the floor of the car and some of them suffered water damage. Maybe I have some zombies in the house, but tell us what you earn, tell us it's you in real life and you're not gaming the system. trying to steal from Scott, look, because you ruin it for everyone and you don't ruin it for everyone, okay, and you tell us where you live, all in one email so I don't have to chase you down because I'm not going to. I want to do that when I get back from vacation.

I just won't do it and I won't do it while Ryan is on vacation because I'm running the ship and I'm very busy when he's running things and I'm focused on serious things. Steamboat Willie, that's what I would drive and I'm very focused on the stuff of getting where I need to go NOTHING but all this tertiary crap, so the pedestrians, the birds, the potholes and other things that happen on the road while I . I'm driving, what do you think you're going to need for when you're okay? So in February, Brando will take over as content director.

We'll call the boss. You will be the content director. If then. I will need forexia, they will all be single deck lists. Yes, I posted two specific requests on Discord. I will also post them here in the general program. I would like us to do some kind of something new. It's poisonous poisonous whatever that toxic is the new toxic there it is, yes, the new toxic deck, toxics matter. I'd like to make a deck around that, yes, and I'd like to preferably make a token list based on mardu equipment, but it has to be new. new phyrexia

commander

s yes, they will be the forexian

commander

s because I am intrigued by the ancient ones in mechanics.

I'm intrigued and wanted to add some mardu in there because I think there's probably something interesting that we could do. done and then you can add everything that is being done. Germ creation is: is there a mardu commander? They probably haven't all broken down in this time, yeah, that's why we're, that's why we're doing one that was today, yeah. Then you will need decklists, you can send them to Commandercooker.gmail.com. You can put them in the preferred decklist channel, if you have that benefit according to your sponsorship, it is another benefit or in the normal channel without decks in Discord. of those places are great places, make sure to tag me if you're on Discord or I won't see it, oh yeah, I'm really bad at that stuff, so make sure you tag me because I'll see it, yeah, and then.

I'll save it all and if you want to send it to Commander

cookout

gmail.com, you have a list you're dying to share. I'll also take a look at it because I'm there and it's important stuff, and if I have any thoughts on anything to do with any of the new things coming out with Forexia, it'll all be one, let me know and maybe we can put it in there oh yeah, we'll use scissors, we'll use scissors with dad's acid there, yeah, because we. We're not going to do a review of the set, so if you want to help with that, of course, yeah, we'll probably look at all the commanders, like the legendary creatures, a lot of stuff in there because there's some interesting ones oh yeah, there's a good one and um, that's a good one at the end of february we'll do an extra show maybe it's forexia related maybe it's magic adjacent and it's something to do with our meta or something and that's the last thing you're going to need.

I think it's a good idea, some problem we guarantee to solve within an hour 100. Yes, let Brando know at Commandercoco on gmail.com or at ccobrando on Twitter, oh. yeah, I love ideas so give them to me and I won't do anything right, well you know what I'll send to the sponsors, thank you and I'll have notes saying, "Hey, this guy is this person is a new sponsor." Let's make fun of his name. I'm going to do that still because I like to make sure I say thank you and I'll update everyone on the show if there are any product or website updates or CCO experience updates.

Yes, but Brando is making the content so I can focus on those things because we want to make sure that, like Vancouver and Minneapolis, those two events that we're going to be at are the best that you could see if I were there. In doing so we all turned up at the same place at the same time and there were so many of us that wherever we decided to sleep they couldn't tell us no, I'll do it, it'll be fun, oh fantastic, so who? What are we doing today, Ryan? We should talk about at least a single Magic card.

At the beginning of this program, I have a Magic card and at the moment I decided that we are going to do this, when I went to the architect's website, The thumbnail or like the thumbnail is the image of the card from when the original art was leaked because they put new forexia boosters in packs of um dominay remastered, that's where all that came from, i think they were in booster packs, okay, just the normal ones and for that reason people were like oh no, they haven't been leaked, they're showing them early, they shouldn't give them as previews, whatever it is, I don't care because it's been addressed and the image now. in architect it has been fixed, yes, but the image I had was low resolution with someone's thumb holding the card, oh man, maybe I'll screenshot it and send it to Joe.

Take a photo of a leaked card or whatever I would like. This so you can't see your hand or just put it on the tape as if you think someone is going to recognize you by your thumb. You will be famous on the Internet. No, no man. I would love to be internet famous, but a lot of people don't. Don't share the show or subscribe on YouTube, do it, hey, I sounded polite when I said that, okay good man, the point is that the creature has a hundred slaps, is E Honda foreign or what we could call it according to the words written on the card

ovika

Enigma Goliath ovica ovica

ovika

ovica ovica that's what I'm going to call it okay, it's probably uvika but I'm going to call it ovika Enigma Goliath is a flyer six six for seven holy and what have we learned about commanders that cost seven Ryan, it will be They better win, they're awesome, oh, real talk, oh, he's gone, right, Xander, remember he ruined our entire format.

Surely any ovika Enigma Goliath flying canopy 3 pays 3 life, so canopy three and also pays three life yeah, okay, it's very difficult to aim, yeah. every time you cast a non-creature spell, create x a red Phyrexian Goblin creature token where oh this is some kind of forexian nightmare creature yeah so we could do that if we wanted yeah you get rush

goblin

s when you throw big things yeah so let's throw some big things yeah we are but We're not going to pay a lot of Mana for it, no, no, that's the best part, yeah, that's my favorite part, that's the best part and then we have some extra things to help us and my notes say hmm at first glance, This kind of looks, feels, smells, tastes like it's a spell deck and while it is yes, what it really is is a deck where you're going to smack your opponent's lips through the back of their head, yes, behind his anus, yes, that's fine with

goblin

s if they are like a fish, when we talk about the fish. yes, yes they are, if they are shaped like that fish and they are on their side and you hit their lips with enough force and precision, they will go through his body, not the bottom, oh man, so I'm working on this construction job .

Hey, my first summer in college and there's a guy who's hitting this steak to pour it like a sidewalk base or whatever, you lift the form and hit the steak from behind so that when the concrete is poured, everyone knows what It's the concrete. His form looks like it is, so he's sitting on his butt with his legs spread wide because he's pounding the stake into the ground and right now he's got this little mallet and he's pounding this fast and his knees are up like this next to his head. and he is like a man, he will beIt makes me sad because I love this image so much.

I love her so much. It's a big Beast behind a bunch of sheep. It looks like the fish we were talking about earlier on the show and last week it looks like that's the fish that We're talking about it looks like Divergent Transformations is an instant for the red six that has undaunted undaunted means it costs one less for each opponent you you have Exile two target creatures for each of those creatures your controller reveals cards from the top of their Labyrinth to the river creature card, put that card into play Then shuffle so this card costs seven, that's important, or four Well, we traded four and then he gives us seven, all you're thinking is yeah, he gives us seven goblins and we pay for it and he gets two more weapons, yeah, I wonder who those guys are now We've reached a point where the deck where we're not paying what we should be paying, right?

I think we should look at that section, we could continue that trend, okay, we could start with the ass dripping archmage, this is one. from editor Joe's favorite cards, oh that's why I called him "gut you" instead of his real name, yeah it goes along with aetherburst, archmage vadric is a one-two, because he's on one, If it is neither day nor night, it becomes day when it enters. play the Don't Care instance and sorcery spells cost X less to cast, where You don't care either. This happens, I don't know, I mean it makes our cost one less unless we improve them, then it makes our cost a lot less. the celestivus on it is a three mana mana rock that just stands between night and day like you could do that if you wanted could we do like we could just do like shout Fury Target creature gets plus five more or for three mana , Yes we could? don't just put a pump spell in here you could or neither and just use this as a three cost mana reducer yeah that's okay too that's okay okay thrix the sudden storm blue , blue, three flashes, flying elemental giant, four or five spells with converted mana that cost five. or more, costs one less to cast and can't be countered, remember those two things, yeah, particularly the last one to cast The Immortal Sun, six legendary artifacts, players can't activate Planeswalker loyalty abilities, that's pretty cool , that's good, yes, at first. from your draw step, draw an extra card, oh that's pretty good, also good creatures you control get plus one plus one until the end of the turn, oh that's good with our archmage vadrick and it doubles the power of our goblins who are in a hurry, remember that's true, full baby, but Also, because that's not enough, you haven't done enough things.

The spells you cast cost one less. Ooh, so we've seen at least three things that will make our five drops cost less. We're not even done. however, the showmage instance and spells with five mana or more cost one less and are two, two for three. Primary art. The primary amulet instance and sorcery spells cost us one last cast and then many more when it flips, but we never do it. Let's turn it around, you can turn it around and it copies the spells when you play them. We could probably turn it around and make it pretty.

We cast the copy or it's just a copy of that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. that's still okay if you're going to pay nine for something it'll do some good and you might as well do it twice you're probably right Ismago lady baby remember this damn goblin wizard hey that's like sharing like you're playing shared animosity Adam Wilson there is one more plus one in your 81 goblins, you can deal 81 more damage, okay, 2-2 goblin mage for four every time you cast an instance or sorcery spell with a mana value greater than the number of counters experience you have. you get an experience counter, so you cast one drop, then two, then three, then four, and you always get an experience counter for that instance and the sorcery spells you cast cost one less for each experience counter you have sick .

Yeah, you don't even need it, you can just play Magic and probably with the musics you'll get two, maybe three, if you just sequence them like a magic sentence player that has a brain, yeah, and you'll get two or three. all your costs three less yes pretty good not that bad Magnus the red instance and spells cost one less Magnus the red enters combat damage 3-3 generates something you know what I like more or less this guy he doesn't do the same But it also goes very well in the deck, the Lobster God makes things cost less, it doesn't make things cost less, but every time you draw a card you get a haste guy, a hate flying guy, okay, I think so.

Well, on the platform and this guy, I don't know, okay, but he's a cost reducer, so I can see why he's here, but cost reducers that cost four or five are like, oh, that's tough, Yes, that's difficult, why not? playing Helm of Awakening how come we're not playing? Know? What is it? Monuments, oh those only work for creatures, yeah, yeah, okay, Jace's shrine. I like this one. Instant spells cost an instant less and spell casting guess a hottie dejin oh yeah. it's a hottie too much the same uh Power and toughness not just power equal to the instance cards and sorcery in your graveyard yeah sure instant sorceries cost one less to cast sick sure Electromancer Goblin hey shared animosity is starting to look even better , instance and sorceries cost one less, but all compliance instance boss and sorceries one less each time a spell or ability we control counters a spell we can draw a card and then discard a card that is less important than the instant sorceries It costs one lesson, yes, and it only costs two, so that's really good and arcane melee combat is the last resort and sorcery spells cost two less to cast.

It's important to note that one works very well for your opponents, so we'll probably get more benefits, but it could turn sour for you if you don't. Paying attention, now I understand the taste, it's arcane melee, yes, because now we're whistling, everyone's lip-smacking, yes, okay, real fast. I want to go over suspension cards because you suspend them for their suspension cost when you cast them. the uh ovica and look at the cost printed in the top right corner of the card so we have a time creator now I'm going to say wow what the heck oh this removes the time counters or puts them uh you could put time counters on if you want , you might want if you're going for an alpha hit, yeah, you might want that, yeah, okay, it's a belt X.

Red X adds or removes time counters from a suspended card. Okay, now I'm going to say wake up. abstain, you fail three for two when you throw it, that's five, right, that's what matters to me, yeah, sure, everything else is strange. I care about five goblins with haste and it gives you mana and then it suspends again, that's important for this card and the next reality strobe is resuspended it suspends for three casts for six good bounces are permanent joyrah of the gitu suspends something for four turns but it's anything from your hand, yeah, so it could be your nine-fall time, inspirational chorus, suspense for three throws for six Charm of fury hey here's a plus one for vadrick inspirational chorus draw two important cards uh sure Charm of fury destroyed our artifact put a plus one and win springboard saying activate a creature remove two time counters from a permanent or suspended card abuse and finally clock turn this is important oh this is not a suspended card it's called a buyback , it costs blue, you buy it back for three, which means that when you cast it, if you pay all three, instead of putting it in your graveyard when it resolves, it disappears.

Back in your hand, that's now, what does it do? Choose a counter or choose a counter on the target permanent or suspended card. Remove that counter from the permanent or suspended card or add another one of those counters. Now this card is not suspiciously good. it's good in this deck because let's say you have three cost reducers or a really lucky Magus from is Magus or like vadrick's three powers yeah so now you can take a time counter off something for blue yeah so you can turn blue, blue, blue. six goblins draw two cards blue blue do six goblins draw two cards blue blue do six goblins draw two cards o blue blue bounce one thing do six goblins blue blue oh with reality chorus enthusiastic chorus that's right, they suspend again yes and you go blue blue and you buy it again every time against against against against against against and then you're doing Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin you do Goblin Goblin Goblin Goblin and then you do six Let's go to Reese's Curves to the right Goblin Goblin Goblin is well, yes, yes. and you can do that by drawing cards, you can do that by generating red mana or you can do that with uh, what's the other thing about bounce permanence?

There's also another red one called Bow, Slash, Bow, Bolt, something sure that does two damage to something and then. suspends again yeah oh that's a good idea we just need a way to create continuous blue mana because the enthusiastic chorus will only make the red mana equal to the opponent's hand as Jessica will correct so we would need to resolve blue, uh, sure there are cards that allow you to pay one of any color to get mana of one color, yes there are if we wanted to do that, but that's what we're doing here, but that's something we don't should be overlooked in a deck like this spinning clock. a really good card, yes we are more interested in casting 8 and 10 drops, let me tell you another thing very quickly that we could use with suspended cards, surely you have ever heard of lag, yes, so you like to play a Time Stretch for whatever. you get your ten goblins, yeah, delay, you get two more goblins, the clock spins all the counters and then stretches time again to make ten more goblins and then you have two turns and 40 goblins, baby, yeah, you mean you'd have four shifts, no. only two or two turns because you countered the first one, you countered the first time series, but that's all you can do with suspension, that's a mechanic.

I hope it comes back soon because I really enjoy it, yes the hover was really very strong in Modern. Masters one, yes, I just selected all the suspended guys. I think, hey, it's really good, it's really good. I'll play my 4-4 on turn one, hey idiot, I'll hit you for two on turn two or just wait on the turn. two I'm going to play my 4-3 then on turn three my five five and then on turn four my four four and a five five idiot who's laughing now oh yeah so now let's talk about American spells that I didn't understand Yeah I don't get the reference because there's no target here and there's no birds or weapons, well I guess there's a bird in one of them so I'm not too sure I didn't get it.

I was hoping no, I didn't get the joke. Is it because they are expensive but should be free? Is this supposed to invoke medical attention? How is this? because other countries are all socialist and in America we pay for things, is it because we built this Mana base on the backs of strong unionized workers and other countries are trying to take jobs away from them in their socialist agenda, whatever that may be, yeah, that is what we do? we're doing, that's it, we're doing this first card, treasure, crew, treasure, cruise, that's what hospitals do after the surgery, after you pay for the surgery, draw three cards, but it costs eight mana, but it costs blue because You have to go deeper, that's right.

You exile cards from your graveyard, but Ovica only cares about which number printed in the top right corner of the card is correct or if it's a case of out due to what you pay in X, yes, but that's a special case. Ovika cares when you cast that and way he gives them. Cascade me, we'll call it that and it costs six. and it's a sure enchantment, oh baby, oh baby, I'm so excited this card is so good in this deck oh storm of possibilities, do you want me to read it? Yeah, okay, this is an enchantment for red red three and we're going to get five of this, right?

Right off the bat, yes, we are, so what it says is like this when a player, any player, then the player who doesn't plan for this to happen because he didn't know that he's in our deck, will be attacked correctly. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's a little chaotic but we can take advantage of that chaos in a very pointed way, yeah, every time a player casts a spell from their hand, okay, that player exiles it and then exiles cards from thehappen is you'll go crazy with the goblins in a hurry and Dink, someone will stomp on someone's ding, oh yeah, for eight or ten or twelve or whatever, they'll go to the wrath of God and maybe you'll have that Mana Geyser in your hand still and you're going to do Mana geyser, play my commander again, use the leftover Mana to you know, do something.

Four or five guys are going to go to the wrath of God and now your commander costs 11. Yeah, and you're not playing Omnath, so that doesn't mean you can play him and a 20-point Genesis wave on your next turn, huh, Yeah. are, those are different decks, this is still a deck, it doesn't have green, it reacts correctly, yeah, maybe you play a battle and it will somehow give you green, that's what battles wait for. I do not know, may be. Yeah, look, we did, we touched on a pop culture theme, yeah, although I guess by the time people hear this we'll know what the new card type does, but maybe there will be a new card type in case you haven't made.

I already discovered it in the new Attraxa, yes, yes, just like they did with the tarmergife of yesteryear, remember Planeswalker, yes, yes, yes, and

tribal

, yes. I wonder how dependent on uh, how dependent on your commander this deck is. I think you put it all the way. the extra turns and making air quotes in that deck or being that guy as a means to protect yourself from the broad nature of the deck do you do that? I think there is a business. I don't know if this is going to sound silly, but when I was reading this deck, this is the first thing I thought, man, you should play extra turns here so that if your commander gets killed, you can take an extra turn to have enough turns to play. enough land and be able to play them again. a damn rampant growth of 10 drops, right, yeah, so I don't know, that was my thought.

I like what we have here, yes, better than that. I like high risk. High reward. We love that

podcast

in command. I love it. which is a seven-cast Commander that continues the trend of seven-cast commanders. They are simply ridiculous. Can I say they ambush people? Yes, you can say they do. That's having a drink in CCO land, we've firmly established it in curb hit eight that if I say the word gank someone is drinking yeah, mostly me, yeah, okay, here we go and that's what I like about these seven fall commanders, like real talk like omnath, like yeah, Xander like that, I was even tempted to build. this for a microsecond, they are game warpers, right? and they have to respond to the warpers of the game, and if they get a good response, that's the game sometimes, then you have to be okay with that because on the other hand, and that's the game is hell, yeah bro, now fools, yes, I want to talk real quick, here we built this whole deck, no additional lawyers, 285 dollars.

I think the new normal is 200 to 300, yes the pre-cons have done a very good job creating decks. it doesn't cost that much and there are usually four five six cards that if you draw your deck it will cost you a hundred dollars less yeah so if I was in CCO Nation I would be careful with those five or six cards and if you can make your deck work like in last week's bonus episode with a little creativity you could save a lot of money, but I think for the new hotness these 285 dollars are not extra. Turns out the platform is pretty cool or you could invest, like we said last week , some bucks and get a better ground base to stop and brainstorm, lock yourself in, get a summit, get a brainstorm, get a parchment crack, maybe cut a drill because we have We don't even talk about peripheral triggers for win, we've just been talking about hitting one that's right, so there's all kinds of ways to get creative and mix it up, yeah, you could play a clever quicker math roast, you could play that.

Kapena bulldozer type that doubles its power every time a creature comes into play holy yeah uh um uh diabolical ballet that's the right one, real quick, real quick because editor Joe is going to slap us if you want to pick up any of the cards of the week, visit fusiongamingonline.com and use the promo code CCO slam, save five percent and hit your opponents with the new appeal and if you want to spend a couple of extra dollars every Thursday on our Facebook page, you can visit to Ryan. an Orc painted on this thing, there you go, yeah there you go, finishing touches of business tips that we forgot to mention at the top of the show geekwood.ca where you can use our affiliate link which you can find in the show notes anywhere you are listening. or check out the CCO podcast show and promo code to save 10 off your high-end gaming supplies like that d8 you'll use for free roll and play that a frog might have.

I forgot them again, oh yeah. but it will happen, don't even worry, it's going to go down, mate, I don't worry about anything because it's the last recording before I go on vacation and I think it's a happy thought to leave it like that. Thank you very much Aunt Brando for sending me the deck. You know me very well. You may be real. Brando from another dimension. Have a great vacation, Ryan, and we'll be back next week to kick off the Brando Arc by Commander's Cookout. podcast hit our foreign theme song
