See that's a card I would have collected back when I bothered purely because I like the flavor text and art. Would I ever actually use the card? No! It would just sit around looking pretty in a card folder like all my Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards do. Play the game? That would require me to understand the rules and I gave up on trying to understand WotC card game rule books years ago. They just get progressively more confusing and vague I swear....
for a while magic the gathering did have a manga in Japan called "Duel Masters" until WotC made Duel Masters which just MTG but simplified and that got an Anime
@@joshuaarnett762 I dunno, it used to be that way. "I see two blue open. Do I even bother." Now... doesn't quite feel that way. ... it's Black/Blue mill which says "no, you don't get to play".
@@kereminde I mean it also depends on the deck you're playing. If they only have like 4 mana available and you have just a absolute shitload of one drops you probably don't care, it really hurts decks that have bigger boys. Yeah, Blue/Black mill is the ultimate "I don't want to play with other people" magic deck.
@@joshuaarnett762 I mean, no, the ultimate "I don't want to play this game" is White/Blue/Black Turbo Stasis. ... yes, I have that deck. And I play it when people want to brag about their decks or win/loss ratio around the kitchen table. Because just running the Orzhov Extortion Ring isn't enough, you gotta make them understand it was a bad idea to taunt someone who lived through the heydays of Necropotence ;)
I actually built an explosive cookies deck using gingerbrute, a ton of buff spells and fling/Thud. Then I scrapped that and built a butcherthud deck and put in a copy of gingerbrute so I would have an actual chance of killing someone with it.
Not sure which was cuter. When he goes into those internal monologues where his voice goes all quiet and soft. Or when he spots the card he doesn't know and spends like 30 seconds geeking out on how he would use it in a game.
"Nerd problems...or Geek Problems" Sounds more like Nerd Problems. Nerd is "The Force be With you", Geek is "The Force is the Mass times the Acceleration." Of course, I just happen to fall freely between the two...I'm a Neek.
remembering a moment while playing it on xbox againt an AI, overcharged a clone spell on a 8/5 flying sphinx to get 8 total while I still had a pair of fogbanks to tank hits. i can only imagin the rage if i was playing online at the time.
I have one magic deck. It's a red-blue walls-and-Tims gimmick deck I built from cheap cards so I could play with my brain turned off if someone bothered me enough.
Inspiring Unicorn is good because any card that gives benefits to any number of your creatures is very useful in decks where you develop *lots* of creatures. If you have 10 creatures and your opponent has only 4, they can only block 4, so 6 get though, and because inspiring unicorn was among them, that's an extra 6 damage on top of whatever the rest deal, and that's only if you have *one* unicorn. If you have two and also have prized unicorn or noble quarry and they attacks too (everything must block that 1 creature if able), That means 9 get through, and that's an extra 18 damage on top of whatever else there is.
I have played blue, but Its a splash, not a core color. Grixis (red/black/blue) is a combination I'm fond of, more in pioneer/historic. It's a very control heavy deck, but doesn't run many counterspells. I just run a heavy bracket of "destroy that" cards and use Planeswalkers as my win condition. Either one of the 6 different Chandras in the deck will set you on fire, or Bolas will end the game because you can't protect a Planeswalker/legendary creature from my 16-ish removal cards
I have some red/black cards that just read as evil like you can't avoid damage it does -1/-1 counters, and you can't gain life. The card is everlasting torment.
I used to play magic a ton back in highschool and college. Wasted a lot of money and time, but it was a lot of fun. Sadly a lot of the local card stores died, most of my friends became busy and the product started coming out too fast. I still keep some old stuff like a cube to break out at gatherings, but I don't play actively anymore. The game itself is great, but it's too costly and time consuming to keep up.
Yeah, it's fun, but keeping up with everything new is expensive. I basically just have a few commander decks I keep, and only collect individual cards I want (if they're not too expensive). It makes it a lot more affordable that way (But starting fresh, we're getting a completely new tech, no. That's dead I'm going to break a few banks If you're trying to make something competitive right off the bat. 😅).
@@Airier Yeah, that's basically what I did for a while. Keep a few commander decks and just occasionally go to prereleases. But the main store we used to prerelease at closed and the only other one was too small to hold sizeable events. Now the friends I know who still play during the pandemic all have switched to Arena, but I'm not too keen on hopping on another freemium mobile game when I play Genshin, FGO and Arknights already. Nor do I look forward to rebuilding an online collection.
If you want to get into a D&D based game on your phone warriors of waterdeep is a good one and it pulls dice rolls for effects and yes crits are a thing
The only two commander decks my friend has are a sliver tribal deck with the first sliver as a commander, and a jodah deck with a bunch of huge spells. I've never beaten the sliver deck, and the only time I've beaten the jodah deck is when he a) got mana screwed, or b) I kept copying acidic slime to destroy his lands and stop him from getting to one of each colour, (I felt like a total jerk doing that.)
Well, there is board wipe tribal. The deck works, but it's also dickish. Working on converting my 5color deck to Ramos right now (new ban on the current commander).
@@Airier Nice! I hope it works out. Sorry the commander got banned. It really sucks when a commander gets banned. But, Ramos is still a pretty cool commander! The deck sounds like it'd be a lot of fun!
rocker dwarf Paladin / goth elf cleric / jock dwarf Barbarian / lab rat elf mage / rich kid elf Ninja / that's my team and the games pretty fun but if you don't buy the DLC it gets little old
13:01 It's in Majoras Mask. Also, holy mamoly, i knew that she was top tier but i didn't realize just How AWSOME Pretty Guardian realy is. Congrats on so many lvls.
I like your videos my friend. You put a lot fo effort into your content and I believe in you! And have you already seen my Minercaft Animations by the way?
If you have a card that gives you multiple attack turns wouldn't inspiring unicorn essentially be able to give all your other monsters +2/+2 instead since the buff lasts until the end of your turn? I ask as someone who's never actually played magic the gathering.
Yes, assuming you only got 2 attack phases. If Airier's deck somehow does more than that, it would add another for each attack phase. In other words, not SUPER useful, but just useful enough to be worth having in your deck if you have that strategy.
@@RaphaelRavenwing As someone who's played a little Magic, I just feel like there are better strategies. But this one is in the "would work" category at least. I'm probably a bit biased because the decks I borrowed allowed easy access to monsters with very high Attack - most of them were between 5 and 9, simply because of how the decks worked and how they made it easier to summon stronger ones.
Yeah, the digital game actually is only including cards from the last couple years. So the vast majority of the card game is still out of reach for the digital version.
Jeskai colors and hexproof you say? Mostly play Commander? I think I know your deck, and I'm judging you. Harshly. Take Merceadia's Downfall or Shared Animosity instead, they are better in every way that matters. Also check out EDHrec. Their website is full of useful information for Commander players and they have a channel here on youtube you may want to look at.
