Commander || Friday Night Paper Fight 2022-09-02 

He keeps Deal’in and Wheel’in

my DU prerelease promo was a German Foil Fyndhornelfen.

Is this wheelers alt account?

God I love Wheeler so much, he's so cool

@@josephmanion3192 I wish I had that much big pp energy

he has to be a tabaxi fighter mont with insane spees to run through the whole dungeon in just one turn

I don't understand why he chose that one each time.

@@99wattr89 that's the point of his deck, he's trying to do damage to everyone fast

I thought about it recently too. There aren't too many spicy brews online, but I found 2 that I like, an Isshin build and a Rafiq build and I am torn.

Actually dungeon is incredibly strong, people are just sleeping on it. its also one of my favorite mechanics.

@@Ariaoff.Limits I agree, plus they printed a lot of support now in Baldur

found another one of wheeler's alt accounts

Dungeons and specifically Initiative are extremely strong. The problem is how time consuming and fiddly they can be

And mirror of life trapping!

it is a busted card for sure!

"Would /have/" would have been perfect. :P

2:43:18 yes I agree 🤣 Same wave length 😂

Yeppp. If you listen to Shivam's last Casual Magic episode with Nelly as special guest, they actually discuss a couple card ideas for the deck for a few minutes, even!

Not only are they allowed to, they have to. The initiative moves you through a dungeon if you're already in one, but if you're not in a dungeon you have to start the undercity.

No, the mirror is a different game object the second time. It's the same with reanimation effects.

Hostage taker can only exile things an opponent controls. It was an errata that was made right after the card released because wotc made an oopsie and without that clause you make an infinite loop by casting two hostage takers exiling eachother

Okay but yarok is one of the many decks were sol ring is fantastic

@harwa - Thank you for clearing that up for me.

You choose at the moment the card would go into exile. So yes, they could decide to not have the mirror nap the commander. However, if they do let it take the commander, it would come back into play without needing to be cast when the next cast creature spell happens. Once they've decided to let the commander go into exile though, they cannot change their mind later.

tl;dr they're more difficult to get than your average card that isn't just in a "you gotta spend more money" kind of way. I don't remember when/where it was explained but for a lot of people who have been collecting for a while the prospect of collecting cards that are just expensive doesn't really feel like an achievement. Foreign language foils, especially of older cards, are something you can't always just buy online so they feel much more like achievements to search for and get. Like you gotta go to vendors at conventions a lot more, pick them up from friends who are traveling, search through smaller sellers, etc. And if it's your "brand" to collect a certain language, then it makes it more impressive because you were specifically looking for that foil German Vindicate from original Apocalypse, not just any old Vindicate.

@@tzarl I know that Wheeler collects one of every card, so maybe getting cards in german is cheaper?

@@estebanrodriguez5409 Ehh, not really from my experuence. Foreign language cards don't tend to differ all that much in price when they're sold in the same place as English cards. The only time they'll potentially be cheaper is if you are physically going to that country to buy cards, and even then the cost to fly there offsets any savings you might have. It really only is a deal if you are already going to that country and happen to have time to look for magic cards.

He does speak it, a little. He's fairly rusty if I recall, but he can read it reasonably well. I think he just likes the language, I don't know if he's got family ties or anything.

Yeah ngl that card’s insane in the right scenario (and there are quite a few good scenarios)

What a relief
