[@Camvyn]

Two big ones I saw were in the first 10 minutes of play - Argothian Enchantress IS a creature. "Summon __" cards are creature cards, in this case she would be the Enchantress creature type. - Ryan misread Tainted Aether and interpreted it as sacking a creature, so he thought Lifeline was a counter to it.

I was 14 and just learning MtG. That set has a place in my heart forever.

Dear Drew: Lifeline End of turn Effect to return Elvish Lyrist -> Tainted Aether trigger on the Stack -> Sacrifice Elvish Lyrist to destroy Tainted Aether -> Sacrifice (whatever) to resolve the remaining (final) Tainted Aether Trigger. Table is happy.

[@Mystogan18]

Its a tap ability. so it would have to stick around until he can tap it.

[@pajander]

Elvish Lyrist died before Lifeline was played so it shouldn't have been coming back anyway.

[@aftergood]

34:49 yes argothian enchantress IS a creature and WOULD have comeback with lifeline as long as drew had another creature in play.

[@thejimmytrain1485]

But the spider is not.

[@aftergood]

@@thejimmytrain1485 until it is! the enchantment says "becomes a creature" therefore once the enchantment transforms it becomes a viable target for lifeline to check as "a creature in play" and pull the enchantress back from the graveyard.

[@thejimmytrain1485]

@aftergood right. But the point is.. the enchantress would have died as soon as etb. And buddy wanted the card draw asap.

[@sethrobinson9262]

matt's enchantment gives his arifact hexproof aswell so he wins maybe

[@JackyFresh.]

The music started playing after the Gaeas Cradle was pulled and I thought something sick was about to happen lol

[@KevinWeirG2]

Drew actually had a pretty cool interaction because those enchantments aren't tokens, they're creatures. The card still exists. He could sac his enchantments that became creatures, then they would come back at the end of turn as enchantments (because Lifeline says "card" not "creature"), which would mean he wouldn't have to sacrifice a creature. As long as someone triggered them to turn back into creatures, he could keep the cycle going.

The thing about Gaea's Cradle though? Mana burn was still a thing back then so you had to be careful. A minor flaw considering the benefit, but a flaw nonetheless. They made a huge mistake when they removed that mechanic back in the before-times (around 2010).

[@12jacobmar]

How is Box Brawl played? My playgroup have a Bloomburrow box ready to go but we just need a quick rules layout. Thanks!

[@SkillCheckShow]

Hi! Split the packs evenly. Look for a commander (legendary creature or planeswalker). Keep them separate from your deck and you may play them at normal times. If they leave the battlefield, cast them for 2 extra mana per time casted. Construct your deck with only cards you've pulled and the colors must match your commander. If you don't get enough cards to make a decent deck in that color (or no legendaries) you can use any multicolored creature. If that still doesn't work, choose two mono colored creatures to be partner commanders. Its limited so you can use as many copies of a card you've pulled that you have. 60 card minimum deck (can play more). 40 life for everyone, 21 combat damage from a single commander to a person is lethal. Don't forget to celebrate best pull!

[@12jacobmar]

@SkillCheckShow Awesome! Thank you so much!! 😁
