Commander Cookout Podcast, Ep 204 - FULL VIDEO - Zendikar Rising Set Review | EDH | CMDR | MtG

Commander, as far as I know, I'm not sure if they're in collector boosters or not, but they're probably in collector boosters like in the set, the rare ones like the non-foil slot ones or whatever they've had in the past, sure. where would you get the non aluminum versions of the

commander

s like where did you get the non aluminum corvalds and the chew rails and stuff on the drain ones, okay yeah, that's where you can get them for sure. The plausibility is high. First, we have the riddle thief, who is a five five sphinx rogue for the blue, the blue five.

It has flight and every time the puzzle thief enters the battlefield for each opponent, it returns to a permanent non-land target, that player controls their hand to bounce one thing for each opponent, yes, sorry, yes, Yes, and he has a lookout for blue three and that is left. I read it here, if you deal combat damage with a sphinx or a rogue, you can play the prowl cost instead of the mana cost, so it's five five for four if you've dealt damage to a rogue in your rogue tribal deck because that's where you're going to play this yeah that's where it comes from okay so bounce everything by bounce one thing per opponent for four mana on a five five that's actually good a flying five five for four is already good no it's playable okay okay, but if it bounces three things and it's a five-five for four flyer ah, it's probably one of the best creatures in pre-con, right, yeah, you're probably not wrong, it's probably okay, yeah , okay, next is the same card on that different card, the same deck whispers steel. the dagger is an equip for black, two equipped creatures get plus two more or equips for three and each time the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you can cast a creature spell from that player's graveyard, this turn you can spend manage or any color you want.

I like that one too I like that one too because you'll get quick growths you'll get Kodama's ranges you'll get a creature spell I don't like it that much it's cool, I like it I think it's cool, what are you going to get with it? Who knows? You'll get all kinds of cool stuff. I guess you could get an elder from the Sakura tribe. You could get a walking atlas. You could get some kind of utility or maybe it will be later. in the game and they've released a couple factors that have been fixed and now you're releasing them too yeah so I think he has a chance okay he's going to the graveyard Steely.Decky maybe maybe he'll go and send triplets where you want to do stuff from your opponent's hand once they've sent it because they don't like it when you take their stuff, they kill their stuff, so we don't have it because they want to reanimate it themselves or something. that we can whisper, steal dagger, give them their stuff back after they're dead for the ultimate trolls, I like it, yeah, okay, the last two, the last two, first, we have the troll guardian, he's a beast of three four cats for white, white two, has overwatch and landing, landing ability is whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, exile target permanent card with a converted mana cost of three or less from your graveyard, does it? where are we going with that?

When the troll guardian dies, put each permanent chariot exiled with it on the battlefield under that card's control. owner so yeah I don't know why they worded it like that who cares this is like Sun Titan's madness card right yeah Sun Titan is better than this yeah probably because they can exile him and then they don't you get nothing. yeah, sol, because this has to die, right, sol, titan is repeatable, there are no claws, you just play, it's bigger, it also has surveillance, it costs six instead of four, what about Sabine's recovery that doesn't Is it a body of six six with surveillance?

I like Simin's Reclamation better than this, but if you're looking for redundancy, if you want a beast cat instead of a giant, yes, or if you don't want to play Sabine's Reclamation for whatever reason, this is maybe what you play and I've said it in a lot of sample episodes that they always print a good cat because they like the tribal cat, there it is, yeah, and this is a good one, it's a good card, it's a solid card that you can play and you'll get some value. The last one is my favorite. of the four is the geode rager is a geode ranger rager and it's kind of Grant Brando's altar of the week challenge.

I'm not even going to tell you what to paint on that card, but everyone knows that yes, geodrager is a 4-3. for red red four again my favorite mana cost for any spell anytime anywhere has first strike and landfall and landfall is never a land enters the battlefield under your control gold each creature target player controls , which means they have to attack next turn a fable creature and they have to attack but they can't attack you unless you are the only opponent left, they could attack landing gold is good yeah landing gold is like can you imagine if you had three landings, can you even if you had two landings and you just targeted two different players and they attacked the same guy, play this on that, uh, the minotaur guy, so you get a ton of feedback, you get a lot of combat steps because you've played a lot of lands, yeah, now you've incited. all your opponents and after you smash their heads they can't even attack you again, you're offline and they're offline by the time you go to do it again, great, so it's a cool card, I really like it.

I think the prices are very high at the moment. I don't normally talk finances here, yeah, but the prices for these are pretty high just because they're only available in Commander decks and yes, they'll go down if you can break them. They're in packs, they'll open up and the cards aren't as prolific or as powerful, and they're not so rare that there can only be so many because these

commander

precons aren't going to be the $40 to $60 range. , I don't know, 25 to 35, they are all reprints except for these four cards and the two commanders we covered yesterday are not very good, yeah, so I don't think these cards are going to be very expensive, yeah, you're going to buy the deck probably for the Geode Ranger and yeah, and I guess the arcane signet because people like the arcane signature, yeah, and that's okay, yeah, okay, moving on to the

full

set. baby ready here we go okay like we normally do we have the open set spoiler in wuburg alphabetical order we start at the top we go down we stop every time we see a card that looks really good yeah , or something we could play.

It deserves special attention, yes, and just to that end, I think it's important to say that we realize it's p

review

season, this

review

of the set will be out after pre-release, so you'll have had these cards in your hand if you hear magic.

podcast

s or consume content of any kind, you've seen the spoilers, you've seen the awesome to-do cards, you've heard other people talk about them and we realize that, so what we like to do is talk about things like that. maybe we're drawn to things that we think would go in the deck things that you might not always hear in set reviews yeah so let us know how we do on the cco

podcast

on cco brando of course let us know if this is the type of style. do you like it or if you like yesterday's style where we went a little bit deeper, you know, about 15 or 20 cards, so let us know what you think, yeah, I agree, we should start, can we start here?

I like this one, do it, I like it. this one just because i am i know i'm that guy i'm a bit of a stax player sometimes i really like the archon of america brando doesn't know how to control how to play control so he just goes up to 10... with the controller i just turned up the dial to the top to find out right, so this is an archon 2 3 for white 2 flying, each player can't cast more than one spell each turn, so it's like a kind of buffer sphere, the right kind. of yes, something like that in combo decks, buffer sphere is essentially yes, I'll cast a spell, okay, non-basic lands, your opponent's control enters the battlefield with a tapid, so it's a blood moon of flying shit that is a cushioning sphere inside, what if you have a blood? the moon rises and this, I do my non-basic stuff, enters the battlefield without exploding, yeah, because they're mountains, yeah, so, it's just a fucking buffer sphere, but yeah, yeah, a fucking blah, a sphere shit buffer, shit blood moon that also beats your opponent by two.

Yeah, and it does what White likes to do, where he brings that travesty where maybe your opponents are ramping up a lot faster than you and they're doing it hungrily with all their non-basics, this will slow them down a little bit. I like this. I think it's good, I like it and there are two bang bangs in a row that I want to touch first, a canyon gerbil that you like for the art, it has a nice mouse pad, I like the canyon gerbil and I retire from felidar for the same reasons and they're not for art or mouse or cat or I don't care about that cheesiness I don't care that they made landfall in the canyon am I saying that right? gerbawa gerbawa gerbil or whatever, yeah, sure it's a one-two-three landing as Atlanta enters the battlefield under your control.

Creatures you control get plus one plus one until the end of the turn. Great, holy, if you can get even two, but you're doing it consistently, like you're. Jamming search or if you're playing white plus something else he's going to find your land draw your cards whatever to get more land who baby is a cool little one and Felidar folds pick one put a cat beast creature . token on the battlefield, but that's not what you're going to choose. Each time you choose, put a counter plus one on each creature you control. Those creatures gain vigilance until, oh man, that's a good card, yeah, that's a powerful card. every time you, every time you just take your turn and play magic and play a land, your creatures will get bigger, that's amazing, that's cool, it's like Felidar's retreat, it's not the Cathar crusade, no , but it's like Land r's russiaid, it's like help from the land of the Cathars.

Cathar's parade there is that's what it is uh super secret technology if you ever run into cco brando in the arena you might see me playing a red and white deck that plays both cards, I might not be saying anything, so I mentioned the things that you also already played I'm playing those cards Gerbila and Felidar's retirement both are very good okay both are exceptionally good we're there we're there it's okay we have what you wanted Touch the two arts of humor because you always say yes they put humor arts and I say, oh no, they don't, and they do, we have a trip to oblivion, look at that photo, it's like the outline of a guy who ran. through a wall and a backtrack to travel to nowhere, yes, journey to nowhere, cut things out of the ring of oblivion and it's called journey to oblivion and it has the silhouette of the Kool-Aid boy running through the wall, which is amazing and then it's I've got a fearless newbie, that's one hundred percent Frye's bird.

I'm sure if you're watching this on

video

you'll see them both right now because that's just the fried card, yeah, the m19 fried card, I think that's right. and because this car just looks like he's a drowning bird, that's what they just edited the hands, he's a drowning chicken and he's not afraid, that's right, he's literally seeing the worst kind of things that can be seen on the Internet. Okay, next I mean for aesthetic purposes only. Amazing looking card, Angel of the Legion, that's a cool card, Warrior Angel flying, enter a battlefield, reveal cards of your own name, Angel of the Legion, put them in your hand like you never will . play yeah this isn't an edh card anyway okay we have our first cycle here this is an auto equip gear cycle which i really like i love auto equips or zero cost equips and those they enter.

I played them in ultimus fog form. I've played them on my Roryx swordwing. Remember that Mono Red only kills you in a pound, yes, and then you lose. Oh, I don't care, you know, I don't care, you look down on me, you look at me, you did it, this one doesn't fit. It's because it's white, but there is one of each color. We'll read this one because I don't know, we'll read this one. Sure it enters the battlefield equipped to target the creature you control and costs two targets, I think Everyone is different and equipment costs can be different, yes it equips to target, target, two equipped creatures get plus two and they fly and hit first, cool, that's like a powerful, that's really good, two and they fly and hit first, you know what I like.

The thing about these isn't that they equip well, yeah, that too, but I like that they feel like enchantments that you can reuse, oh yeah, you know, yeah, they say equip them and they're clearly artifacts. color and you know it feels like I'm going to enchant my creature it has this and then oh you go to kill it and then the enchantment falls off and instead of going to your graveyard a little hedren cube floats there and then another creature comes and picks it up and now it has this ability yeah,play not from b to b grapefruit to the battlefield that would cost eight if you wanted x is equal to five because it's black black with the other things in the cycle, they all cost eight, yeah, so let's pay eight and if you pay eight for this, yeah, it's nice paying eight allows you to get a five drop that could be. forexy and delver, which would let you get back a 6th creature, yeah I mean, and I think in any edh deck you'd probably get back at least three years ago, just a fluke and you could get a gravedigger that brings back a 7th creature. your hand, yeah, yeah, okay, now we're talking, okay, then you can, you can spin your deck a little bit around that card, yeah, okay, oh, coveted prize.

Search your library for a card, put it in your hand and then shuffle your library, if you have a

full

party, you can cast this spell with a converted mana cost of four or less from your hand without paying its mana cost and it costs one less for each creature in your party so you can exaggerate one find a card that costs less than four play for free this is the type of card where it's like hey this is a tutor this is a tutor if my commander turns out to be a warrior cleric mage or rogue sure a three mana tudor and then incidentally if I have any of those, sorry, a four mana tudor, if by the way I have any of those other types of creatures in my deck, this could be a three mana tudor, so this one is interesting. it goes from totally mid level five to a just by chance fiendish tudor, depending on who your commander is, to an actual playable ristic tutor when you have two chance creatures that might be in a party, then it goes to come to daemonic tuner, yeah, yeah, again, yeah You're real and then if you got the bee's knees, it becomes what's the best, it's the best tutor in magic vamp toots yeah it's the best tutor in magic because for a black you find any card in your deck. put it in your hand and then you can play something for free.

This card is a sorcery and is conditional, but it is good if you have a full cco house party card. This is our only tutor that we are playing. Yeah it's very cool, everything you just said also applies to mortal alliance, it just costs less for each card in your party, destroy the target creech or planeswalker, okay, okay, feed the swarm, everyone's talking Of this, what is your opinion about each color? There is one thing they can't deal with, the black one is still artifacts, but now they are getting enchantments, what do you feel? I don't get all the hate because there are a lot of people who are angry about it and I'm not very excited about it. exists like I don't think black needs to be able to remove enchantments, but whatever, I'm going to be a little salty the first time someone black monkey destroys my enchantment, I'll be like no, why can black do that? then you play an artifact and the black players say yeah I'll just counter it with an artifact spell or whatever you know what I mean I don't know I think it's worth the conversation but I don't think that people should be so angry about it like they are, yeah I think it's cool, I think it's cool, it's a witch too, so yeah, get out of here, okay, malakar, rebirth, choose the target, creech, you lose two lives until the end of turn, that creature wins when this creature. the dice return it to the battlefield under its owner's control instant speed and you can flip it to be a land on the other side malakir meyer you don't even do that because you're just waiting for someone to get mad and kill something really good and then you just get it yeah you get a die trigger and then it comes back you get etb yeah if you could if you could move it in such a way that an etb etb and damage like a peripheral or something you sacrifice it for something and then you get it back to etb again.

So this is cool, it's like a little regeneration type thing, but you don't touch it and you get double etbs which is cool and on a card with cool art you can steal your opponent's so a target creature chooses to lose too life. until it turns every time this creature dies it returns to the battlefield under york under the control of its owner oh you're close oh i had quite a conniption oh man talking about cool art mind carver look that's like a knife to the head yeah, yes, it wins the award because as you see that photo on the back of someone's shirt like at the county exposition yes, yes, people in the ex, there are already people with this tattooed on their arm, yes, yes, someone he's using that thing that says like uh jason alt special hey, I'm a forklift operator, it takes everything I have to keep my mouth shut and there's a skull with a knife in its head.

Okay, oh, there's even a little blood dripping from the knife. Yes, I am a grandfather born in May. I'll do anything. t-shirts yeah yeah that's one of those enchantment gear we were talking about earlier for the black one yeah okay okay what's up with the sky key scourge? Shall we crash the star for two? You cast the spell if it was kicked. Each player loses half of his life. to half their life, so everyone's taking 20. sure, for seven, okay, no one's 40 when they're, yeah, when you're seven, okay, the scourge of power and toughness of the skyclave, every one the same at 20 minus the highest life total among players, so someone would have to do it. be 19 years old for this to be one what do you think about that if everyone is in one this guy is a 1919. that's good in non-scenarios that's good when they're in one why is this a mythical that's the only way how is? this because it's a weird ability, there's some kind of stupid deck that's going to be played and I know that honestly, what if this is if we're going to call this set if we're going to review the set? mythics in

zendikar

rising

make me not want to buy mass sealed products mythics in set make me not want to buy cards yeah it makes me want to buy singles where I can use cco you know, exclusive promo code on my singles get the five percent out of cco fusion five because the mythical ones aren't, there's a lot of garbage myths in this, yeah man, I don't know about those, I don't like that, hey, hey, new, new, wacky, no, seb mckinnon , the artist is wiley beckert with foil. the grave thwarts the grave and the soul shatters a new type of art style that people seem to be investigating and I'll tell you I like it better than Seb McKinnon agreed.

I like it too. It's great. Hey, I think that kind of look almost seems old school. Like it could be like it's out of some old biblical text that's where it looks like it's out it's like a fresco or I don't know but I guess that's what a fresco would look like okay let's go over red because it sucks cleaning up forest fires costs two it's good you can ruin your own land destroy a land quest oh man i love that picture too i like it's cool that everyone is talking about it even though people beat it to death i like that that's a ley line tyrant of a ton, I think people beat him to death too, but you can save your red mana and then if he dies you can spend it all and just make a dome, someone can hold him up and hose someone down.

The Nahiri lithoformation is another, I think probably. a lot of people like kazul's fury only strictly for the card art, he's just punching someone, he's just a gorilla pushing some fool, it's that shitty adventure, it's a shitty adventure with a land on the other side, yeah, wow, okay, yeah, what's up? which one is the good one which one is the good one who turns the one who turns the wheel of fortune yourself yes which one is the wheel my awakening valikute oh instant baby put any number of cards from your hand in the bottom of his library I wish it were so discard that sucks, but you can put in any number, so if you only want to make one or if you want to make 15 like it's any number, then draw that amount plus one so it replaces itself and you can choose.

It's because I can keep my combo piece and dig. I like that lot. It's a good letter. What else is a good letter. The mountain in the back. I guess not, although the turbulent vortex is cool. It is better to enchant red during. Each opponent's maintenance turbulent vortex deals them one damage every time a player casts a spell if no mana was spent to cast that spell. The turbulent vortex all five and you can pay red so your opponents don't gain life this turn and life gain has been a thing. that's deadly on the rise in commander yeah because no one is commanding or damaging and infecting is so taboo yeah so this is a card that's less annoying to people than something like a sulfuric vortex or what's the one where They can't search for domains in libraries, yes. and it does what many red decks need to do.

This is not a basic element. I'm not going to say it's a staple, but I think it's a card worth people looking at and putting in their decks if they have a type. that likes to play mono white life game, like all games, anything life can, etb, life, win anything, flow deposit, remember that card, yeah yeah okay here's the last one red card i want to play in valikute exploration hell yeah okay enchantment for red two landfall when atlanta enters the battlefield exile the top card of your library you can play that card as long as it remains exiled as long as it remains exiled yes for always more or less at the beginning of your end step if there are exiled cards with valikute exploration put them in their owner's graveyard, that's a good place to have them, then exploration does so much damage to each opponent, so remember that it does a couple of sets they printed a nice little song in red that could also have been an incantation that costs you a red underworld. gap, that's the one, oh baby, so you're feeding it, you're burning your opponents to the ground and you're feeding the gap, you're feeling the br, you're feeding the massive landing with a splendid recovery, can you imagine, do you Can you imagine the escape? changing with this, then you're revealed and you just go, oh, in the step, you just make a dome, it's every opponent, right, yeah, this card, this card, actually, you know how yesterday I was talking about mogag morgag, whatever that it was called, yes, on multiple attacks and in my land deck no, this is one, this card is excellent and, man, it is so good, this is oh man, do you know that, oh, and have you seen it, the land deck can get 40 landing triggers in a turn 40? yeah buddy I'm excited okay green green we're literally scrolling through the green and we can't find it right lucky.

Green, I don't even want to talk about that. Green got too good over the last year and a half as green did. all the same, like lotus cobra taking a break to make green cards and just like there's no green, I don't know, I think lotus cobra getting a reprint is cool, yeah, it puts that card in the hands of more people, that's really great, i like oran reef ooze but only because it's a slime, i like scoot swarm scoot swarm is great, it will break a lot of arena games and will be absolutely a nightmare on paper once you start playing that one Son of a bitch, that's one, one for the green, two with landfall. every time a land enters the battlefield near control you create a green bug creature, if you control six or more lands you get a swarm of scoots instead, then you start getting multiple swarms of scoots for each land and it will be crazy, ah yeah, that's a that's a throwback to scoot mob, right, which was in the world awakening or the rise of eldrazi worldwick.

I guess I don't know if I could be wrong, but it's an amazing card, but it's going to cause some headaches, ah, yeah, that's turbulent, what's turbulent? regrowth, that's hero, but they come into play tapped, in particular, it's an instant, so all those Calimax players, here's your next instant speed, double land gain. The hero was an instant, I know, and Harold came in to play without exploding, I know, but there's not a lot of instant speeds, land getting. on the cards and calimax wants them all I guess, so there's your green calamax bone, let's get to the multicolor, I'm done with the green, we talked about most of the multicolor stuff yesterday, didn't we? some clerics, that's what I wanted to play in marasa root gazer or marassa meat gazer as I like to call it.

It has a 2-3 for green 2 with vigilance, you can tap it to put a basic from your hand into play or you can. Tap them to return a basic land you control to its owner's hand. I think it's going to be a card that, if you're building your landing deck, you'll see a lot of utility because it gives you a landing trigger every turn or if you have flooded land, it gives you multiple landfall triggers every turn. I like that card and as much as I have to have white, I can't play with my landfill deck, okay and I think it will be a card, yes, if you are, if you are giving white the ability to play more lands, great, yeah, great, nothing but good, yeah, there's nothing but good things to say about that particular card, which you almost know what it is, it's almost your two extra simple mana. land card ifexploration is good and azusa is certainly good this is the two mana version of that I sure like it yeah I like that card I like it move on do we like abandoned monument?

There is another mythical one, what do we think? Oh honey, this. This is a powerful card, arty legendary for five colorless creatures you control, you get plus two plus two when you tap a permanent for colorless mana, you add an additional colorless mana every time you cast a colorless spell, you gain two life, yeah that's it , that's good. a good card, it's an eldrazi card in a set without eldrazis, i agree, it's a throwback to eldrazi, kinda true, this will be the artifact ball card that allows you to gain the life you need to flow aether so early since you drop it, you don't need to cast another spell after any of the flexes, like you can't, yeah this will be that card, it will also allow you to double the mana of all your mana rocks that go into the same deck.

I just talked about yeah right you're playing it as some kind of five color shell all your pain lands can be tapped for two colorless instead of one yeah there's a lot of lands oh yeah yeah it works with that and people say oh pain and it sucks, well I don't know, not much now, if you don't need the colored mana you can get two, yeah yeah, it's a nice litho engine, no honey, this is an engine card, another one text wall for four, you get another legendary artifact, you can pay two and tap it to copy the activated or triggered ability of the target you control.

Of course, you can choose new targets three on tap, but you can copy the target instant or sorcery spell you control and again you can choose new targets for the spell and for four and tap, you can copy the target permanent spell you control that is on the stack, so I'm playing a creature. Then I can tap four on this to tap to copy that creature, yeah, and get another version of that creature, yeah, a permanent. The spell is a spell that's on this thing and will become permanent when it resolves, but being a spell means it's still on the stack when you target that thing, so we'll either get permanence or we'll get counter tokens. get stay tokens for the first time with this card, this is going to be a combo nightmare city and do you copy the kickers?

Yeah, so if I kicked a skyclave relic, okay, hypothetically I could, instead of just getting a three-mana mana rock that gets tapped. for any color i can get six of them yeah the same manorak skyclave indestructible relic is an industry kicker kicker three three cost mana stone for any color it's indestructible it's literally a darksteel ingot with kicker if you pay the kicker you get three of them, it's better dark style, oh yeah, right on anything that's playing dark steal, if you're playing darksteel ingot you can cut it for this, that's right, if you're playing any team that worry about the creature types and lost ultimus relic acts that enter the battlefield attached. to a creature you control equip the creature plus one plus one if it's a warrior and it is, it gets plus two plus one that's cool oh yeah okay so quickly we have a base camp that cares about men of any color for your group.

I have McKindy's Throne that cares about giving you mana for the kicker costs that go into the kicker deck. Beautiful complete art basics according to Zendikar Normandy. It's what you expect. You won't get less than that from your end to the car set. Yeah, and some of them look like throwbacks or the same place where we had old land, there's definitely that Bowl Island, yeah, and now it's like a city or something, looking at us number one planes 265 or whatever. That's old too, the forest or the swamp with the color green, that's one, except instead of having a brain, it doesn't have a brain, yeah, there's a lot of flashbacks, it seems like they're just not infected by eldrazi or whatever.

Now yeah, moving on to something that you and I are a little bit passionate about, yeah, I want to end the show on this kind of high note because this is something that makes these sets feel unique, special and I think the player base in big comes to appreciate it despite what I said about the 2021 corset versions of these where they were just the way they were, they were very lazy, they were lazy, that's a good way to sum it up, this is my favorite part of this set and what it is . We haven't said what it is, it's the special art, the display arts on the cards, yes there are some like not all cards have them but each one of them is excellent and gives you a cool collector's piece that is just gentle.

It's great to have them, it's great to see them again, they would be fun to collect. I could try to get them all just like I did with the comic arts from Korea and these are up there with the icory, they set you apart right away. like if you open a pack let's say your rare is garbage unless you open a mythic you didn't want but you get a dunno ruined crab in alt art and it's cool now you have something that maybe not everyone else has or just something that's unique and interesting that you have and it's just something that you get instead of another giant common, maybe what common are you going to keep instead of recycle, yeah, I'll knock them a little bit on that.

They don't feel adventurous, the art doesn't feel like an adventure, the Indiana Jones adventure, the geographical type of ruined temple, ruined pyramids, geographical forms that surround the art, it feels like ruins of Aztec pyramids, I get it, they they feel more. kind of tropical fantasy jungle almost like an avatar, they feel like Hawaiian shirts, kind of, yeah, if we went to the avatar planet plane and everyone was wearing Hawaiian shirts, this is what the super crazy display cards would look like, high contrast, very vibrant, very bright. Many of them, not only based on the art but also the type of actual card design, will look just as good in foil.

These will be tremendous foil and just the color on them. Hey, it's like looking at that rune crab, it's just the card. the frame is blue as are the text boxes the game pieces on that card are blue but the art is yellow and red and green wow these are so bright I keep looking at this felidar probably thinking man I want those I want them and it's a shitty comment yeah, like it's shit, but I want that card, I want that card in my hand, I want it in my folder, I want to see that and I think the fact that they give you that extra collectible piece really helps generate excitement for the set.

I'm excited to open them yeah the more egg the sky squid the rune crab they'll look cool the kazandu mammoth there's a valikute scan oh oh there's dang dang yeah like a card that really we like it in a supermarket. sweet thing with a super amazing image lotus coldbree omnath will look so sick in this treatment because there is so much color there even the kazandu next to the nectar pot the little ant what is it once again it is common it is common it is going to be so cool when you open one yeah you know that and you know you're going to get them if you buy a box or if you buy a collector's pack you're probably going to get the feedback and it's going to be so good yeah right yeah this is it I love it and I think they put it there .

I think that's a great place to end the review, of course, you know what I guess. There are complete artistic versions of the lands. There are full art versions of a lot of the rare ones that you can get that just have that frame blown up to the edge or whatever, yeah, stretch art, stretch art, that's what it is, it's stretch art, there they are, they're what they believe. of the earth cycle very fast do you like it? you do not like? the inverted lands that are actually rare, yeah, that don't have land types, they can't be recovered, right, which is the biggest criticism of them because they had a chance to be printed. dual lands dual lands really smooth recoverable but they didn't do it when the dual lands when the abu r dual lands are probably at their highest point and they didn't do it on the landsat which is right in

zendikar

yeah do you think that already Did they charge? in all of zendikar, they didn't need to earn more money, that seems strange to them, but maybe they will come back again, who knows.

I think I already told you everything I think about them, so are you going to blame them? If you get one, I talked about it yesterday and yes, I will play these. If I get them, I'll play the ones I have. Well, we are in a unique situation. I have shocks, grief, pain. everything I need now but I've been playing magic for 7,000 years I've been playing magic before and here he was born, right? I think the point I want to make to people is not to underestimate these dons. Don't open them up and think oh I have this trash land because they're not trash they're pretty good and the etb is untapped yeah they come into play untapped and they give you the color you want on the turn you play them and you do it.

Don't ever subscribe to that because there are a lot of people out there who go buy preconstructed Commander decks and they have all these shitty shitty lands and they're like, "Oh my god, these ducks are so slow, dude, those full-art double-sided modals." . the lands are literally just avatar, yeah that one with the guy flying, yeah that's an avatar scene, yeah what's the name of that car? lava slideway river slideway they are beautiful I love them if I get them I will find places to put them first if "If I get them in my hand I will definitely play them if you don't have a LAN suite like Ryan and I because we are old and we've been playing this since before Zandacar was even thought of, we've been playing longer than them." I've had full art basics in my time, in my time we had cool old frames and they didn't frustrate the art just the frame, so if you're still looking to build mana bases I think those are good ones to put in. so don't underestimate them and they probably won't be a lot of money, a lot of money, so pick them up if you can and where you can pick them up.
