Hearthstone Player Rates SPOOKY Magic Cards w/ CovertGoBlue 

Yup, modern decks that play 2+ colors just run 80-90% of their lands just off fetches, duals and triomes, not to mention 5 color/domain piles

Blood Moon allows Free Win Red deck to thrice. Where you just win by playing hate cards it's great

@@Hakokoro what

But see, I played Magic during that era, and I didn't know that non-basic lands (that give you colored mana) were commonly played back then. I mostly just saw basic lands used for colored mana. There were the double lands like Tundra, but they were quite expensive and rare iirc. I only knew two people who had them.

@@celeschan90 Depending on how early that was, "expensive" could have been like 30 dollars.

Literally 50% of viewers in the comments about to post what a ball lightning is when that pops up

@@error00001 it's a 6/1 for RRR with Trample and Haste. It's also one of my favorite cards in the game.

@@nvvv_card is based on a real thing, it's why the name is wierd

Thanks for pointing it out, I was listening to this video in the background and would’ve commented without knowing the editor was the MVP.

@@nvvv_they’re talking about a ball lightning irl, not the card.

I need rarran to wtf at urza block 😂

​@@davidb4935Wait til he gets to the Unsets!

I so want there to be actual levels to being a magic player!

​@@briankelly1240 there are 415 levels.

In my group hug deck I can occasionally cast it twice on the same turn. Sometimes I just cast it to distract from my Triskaideckaphile. And sometimes when those get dealt with I just hit everyone with a Crackle With Power.

Although if you're running a deck with red and you have room for Blood Moon, you may as well mainboard Blood Moon. There are enough nonbasic lands in competitive Magic that odds are good Blood Moon will have relevance to your matchup -- you can always sideboard it out later. Fun fact: if you play Blood Moon while Urza's Saga is in play, Urza's Saga is immediately sacrificed! It's because, with Blood Moon active, Urza's Saga becomes an Enchantment Land -- Mountain Saga with no chapter abilities, and you sacrifice a Saga once the number of lore counters on it is equal to or greater than its number of chapter abilities, so a Saga with no chapter abilities will be immediately sacrificed. Urza's Saga is a common enough play in Modern that it almost justifies Blood Moon all by itself!

@@lachlanmcgowan5712 Yep! Really my comment was meant to highlight how much more powerful Silver Bullet cards are in MtG because you can sidebaord things in and out based on matchup

Ya well youtube commenters arent the smartest people to be fair

well, yeah, you hear something stupid, wait 1-2 sentences if they clear it up and then you pause and type the comment. who tf checks for the segments or waits until the end of the video for the low chance of a correction

@@drask1988 Because the earth would simply stop spinning if we didn't point out things that don't matter, right?

@@eewweeppkk true, our comments are prove enough that it must be so.

@@drask1988 Patient people. Which, to be fair, is not generally what the internet is comprised of.

Most games use names like "Lightning Ball" or "Ball of Lightning" instead of that. I'd only heard of Ball Lightning maybe once before this video.

@@maxydal3512 That's fair those are indeed more commonly used. But very popular games like Diablo IV and Path of Exile use it as ability names. I have definitely heard the term first in some other game though and then learned that it's actually something that occurs in real life.

@@maxydal3512 This is an actual natural phenomenon from real life though instead of electricity molded into a spherical form.

@@gamerbear84 Ok? Most people wouldn't know the difference based on the word alone. And when a card game literally called "Magic" uses it, most people would just see it as a "Ball of Lightning" spell.

@@maxydal3512 Well, not my fault if "most people" are uneducated.

Blood Moon vs Urza's Saga, who wins? (Blood Moon wins, Urza's Saga is sacrificed as soon as Blood Moon activates)

Especially when creature lands come up. "Does my activated inkmoth nexus still have infect under blood moon?"

This

That would be incredible if they both were invited for a game. 😂

Ironically when Magic first released creature cards were "summons", and they only became creatures when on the field. It was changed to how it is now because people then were arguing it was unintuitive in exactly the opposite way.

​@@tinfoilslacks3750in a similar vein, permanents are no longer spells when they stick around on the battlefield. Or else it'd be even harder to block emrakul

@@juliandacosta6841 You have cards in hand, graveyard, exile, commander zone, companion zone and ante zone. You have spells and abilities on the stack. You have permanents on the battlefield. Getting used to this is one of the first step to learning magic

Basically every attack-limiting card with Season of Witch is immediate grounds for a judge call. Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, even Laviathan. it’s a massive headache. In order to attack you pay mana for Propaganda, but when SotW checks if a creature can attack does it take it into account if you’re out of mana? Does it do the check at the moment, seeing if there are any restrictions on creatures attacking at the end of turn, or is it a continuous check to see if at any point it could have attacked? Even though this card isn’t good, every locals and commander pod would have this card on a community ban list because no one wants to deal with it.

Current official rulings state that any of your creatures that could have attacked at the start of your combat phase, but then couldn't due to an effect like Silent Arbiter, are still destroyed. (EDIT: This is an older ruling, that has been changed Again, and now it is once again unclear.) If, however, those creatures cannot attack, and then you grant them the ability to do so by paying the cost for a Propaganda type effect, then the creatures you paid the cost for can attack, and the rest are safe. But it's entirely optional, as you're not forced to tap your lands.

​@@calemr Where is this ruling? There's nothing on Gatherer for Season of the Witch that explains a situation other than situations where you have an option to enable additional creatures to attack (such as a way to give Haste to a creature that just entered). It doesn't explain a Silent Arbiter type situation.

@@rajamicitrenti1374 Alright, maybe it got changed Again. Y'know, just when you think you finally understand this card, they go and alter the wording again... But as of a couple years ago, it had "Every creature that could have been declared as an attacker during that turn’s Declare Attackers Step but wasn’t will be destroyed." And having checked just now, it no longer does, you're right.

It's ok it doesn't effect me I'm Non-Binary(I'm not actually it's just for the joke)

I’m just getting into the game! Murders at Karlov Manor is a really special set to me, and that’s the first set I’ve opened!! :D

Judgment was the first booster pack i bought at the card store (i know not super old), Onslaught was the set i started playing with my friends a lot when i was 11!

Well unfortunately in my country it is not so popular

My dad still has 2 sealed boxes of it, at some point it's going to help pay for my college

Fallen Empires draft in 2007. I started playing for the first time in mercadian masques.

Outside of commander, it seems way easier to just cast a second sun that wasn't shuffled into the deck.

@@juliandacosta6841 In a sense, yes, but then you'd have to run 2 or more approaches in your deck, which are dead cards most of the time. In control, since you already have many situational cards, you don't want to weigh down your decks with even more dead draws (for a while, control decks had as their only wincon lands that could become creatures for a turn, the idea being that as long as the board is kept clear you can just hit them every turn eventually). There are also many ways to take cards off the top of your deck. I believe 2 sets later, for example, a card called Search for Azcanta was printed, which was a card that after a little sidequest became a land that allowed to look at the top 4 cards and get a noncreature nonland, putting the other 3 on the bottom The card was already good for a control deck (it helped filter your draws towards what you needed at that moment, helping your consistency) and it made it so your approach would only take a couple of turns to come back. There are many other ways to combo it, there's the classic Approach-Remand-Approach for example Remand is a counterspell that puts the countered spell back in its caster's hand. Approach only cares if you CAST the spell once this game, rather than if the spell actually resolved. So what you do is, Approach, then Remand your own approach, and then next turn you can approach again.

@@juliandacosta6841 Well the second sun was justa little closer than expected.

@@juliandacosta6841 Approach of the Second Sun is the wincon for blue/white control that loop extra-turn spells. If you can loop extra-turn spells you've basically already won, and this is the easiest way to close the game.

​@@juliandacosta6841​ There was a silly card that was in Standard at the same time as Approach called Lich's Mastery, which has an effect where when you gain life you draw that many cards. So when you play an Approach with it out, you get to immediately draw 7 after placing Approach into your deck, meaning it ends up right back in your hand and if you have enough mana you can play it again. Mastery also prevented you from losing the game, and was difficult to remove due to hexproof, so you could play an esper control deck and pretty reasonably cast the same Approach twice in one turn, winning you the game.

The "your opponents can't win and you can't lose" wording is required because it doesn't get changed to "each opponent loses the game". There are rules that I believe work similar to that, but they only apply if you are playing with the limited range of influence rules. 801.14: If an effect states that a player wins the game, all of that player's opponents within that player's range of influence lose the game instead.

Idk have you seen what people pay for stamps

Meanwhile I'm over here printing proxies because I don't do official events

Would have loved Sorrow's Path as well since it was rare compared to Maze's uncommon but so much worse.

" I loved playing it in legacy with Tabernacle and Pendrel Vale, Rishadan Port, and Wasteland." Woah, slow down Satan.

😂

+2

Oh yeah, proliferate gives one more counter of every counter on the permanent

It's kind of cute for Skullbriar, using something like Ozolith to transfer them over. Not necessary at all, but it is even more different counters that work great in multiples.

Was just gonna say "that doesn't work" but I checked the oracle text. They changed it from a permanent boost (meaning no counters) to counters.
