Got it fixed faster than I expected. This is the FIXED version of this video. What was changed? No, it wasn't my incorrect pronunciation of chimera, something I have been willfully doing since 4th grade. In the demonstration of the Turn One Gaming tokens, I accidentally used a wet erase marker and not a dry erase marker. I want to stress that this only happened when I filmed the demonstration, and I used dry erase markers all throughout testing these tokens. Nonetheless, this made the video look much more dramatic in terms of how much ink comes off with a paper towel, and just how much gets on your fingers. My apologies for this error. My comments, evaluation, and grade remain unchanged. You can still see in this video (although not quite as dramatically as the last) that you still don't get a perfect wipe with dry erase, and I still maintain that you should not be using markers, even dry erase markers, anywhere near your magic cards.

Life Counter Alternatives - A D20, a pen and paper, a free mobile app. Counter Alternatives - A D6 or just any small item you have lying around. Tokens - This one is kind of a bind, but you can just represent the stats of a token with two dice on an empty board. Or just bring the token you need from a booster and put counters on it if needed. Or yeah. Just use paper.

Home made dry erase solution: Get a blank card of some kind, sleeve it, draw on it with a good quality dry erase marker, and it wipes off effortlessly with no residue. That product leaves so much residue because either the card surface is porous, and/or the marker is poor quality. A good dry erase marker has alcohol ink that evaporates on the surface and leaves behind dry powder pigment.

Interesting review, I didn't know there are dice specifically designed for Tarmogoyf, let alone multiple different ones. I always assumed players would just figure out its current P/T themselves, as it is self-evident as opposed to creatures that grow through actual counters like Arcbound Ravanger. Using them also means constantly having to change it (searching for the right side) - and possibly even mislead your opponent (or yourself) by forgetting to adapt the dice. In my humble opinion, that makes both of those products act in the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do, i.e. act as a convenience.

I got a Legion Lifecalc from my LCS today for $10, so I think I came out pretty well. I play almost exclusively Commander, so life totals tend to go all over the place, and I was just about to buy ten bucks worth of D10s when I realized that I could just buy one of these and save a lot of space in my deck box. One of these plus a couple of spindowns for Commander damage are enough to get me through most games.

However, even though the pens say dry erase some of that chemical color content has the potential to penetrate or leech into material of it is porous.

Another really good way to keep track of things like life count, opponents hands after a thought seize or any info is a Boogie Board. It is basically a dry erase board but without need for a special marker or cleaner as well as it cannot be smudged like dry erase. It uses a stylus to write so if u lose the one that comes with it u can anything to write. It's s lil expensive but it has paid its 10$ off for me many fold

Pro of the dry erase marker tokens: If a new set comes out, you can draw a couple of these in advance and use em right away. You don't need to fumble around while playing. The upside is the reusability. Con to the lifecounter: You said it in another video of yours. You can't backtrack like you can with Pen&Paper.

I come from wargamming (Warhammer and Kings of War mostly) and role-playing, so I have several sets of dice (including sets of D6 in every color you could think of, and a few more), so my need for counters are covered. I also have some sets of translucent diamond-like counters in several colors... so far I've used the yellow ones as Energy counters and the transparent / white ones as trigger reminders (on some decks I've tried, several abilities can trigger at once, and resolving some of them can trigger additional abilities, and so on, so any help at keeping track of them is welcome). When it comes to tokens, for anything I can think of in advance, all I need is Magic Set Editor and my trusty printer. I even have some pseudo-tokens with "triggered ability" or "temporal effect" in their type lines that help a lot in keeping track of "until end of turn" effects. If I play a deck using "variable" tokens (I built a Hydra Broodmaster deck when Theros was in Standard), I can print some "blank" token templates in thicker paper and use a pencil and eraser for them. IMO, as far as dice are concerned (which can also work as counters), loot at RPG stores. When it comes to dice, nobody takes that more seriously that RPG players and game masters. And, for tokens, either a desktop printer or good old pen & paper get the job done. Last, but not least, for tracking life totals, nothing beats pen & paper. With that, you not only keep track of current totals, but also any changes that has happened throughout the game. If something ever gets missed, it's easier to go back, spot the exact point of the mistake, and redo the numbers from there.

Forgive me if they have changed this, but in a life total dispute a judge is supposed to go with a written history if one is available. A judge gave me this info when he saw me using the (no longer available and generally terrible) official MTG app to track life totals. He recommended always using a piece of scratch paper or a notepad to track life totals for this reason.

What's the highest Tarmogopf can get? Isn't it 7/8 from land, creature, artifact, enchantment, instant, sorcery, and planeswalker? If so, then Chimera Craft's Tarmogopf's D6 die seems a bit lacking. Legions Lifecalc seems decent as an cost/risk effective proxy to the smart phone & MtG app, but it doesn't overcome the pen & paper's ultimate advantage that is pseudo-memory of life total changes. That's the next step that is needed to take such devices to the next level. Am I right?

If you watch a star city stream they use a d6 for there Tarmo-Dice. I really think the dice is the best product out of all of them. I think the life counter is cool but since moving to more competitive magic I find just pen and paper is better.... and it is cheap.

A `conspiracy` is a card type, it is printed as a conspiracy and can only be played if you have the physical copy or proxy of it. There is a whole page of information dealing with this in the Wizards site back when Conspiracy was revealed and they do a better job ecxplaining it than me.

You can get a MUCH bigger treasure chest from Michaels for $2.99! Plus its unstained so you can go crazy personalizing it.

Those custom tokens would be useful when you have a bloodforged axe since there is no token for it

the life calc would be a pain for adding or subtracting large amounts of life (e.g. double your life total, gain 2 life for every creature, ect.)

Ahhh, the days when a super high end phone was only $300. Fast forward 3 years and we get the 1300 iPhone XS Max or whatever it’s called

No high end smartphone has ever been $300. The original iPhone started at 600 with subscription, so about 1000 bucks, and was then lowered in price quickly to 200 with subscription, or about 600 bucks. The flagships have always been (starting at) 600+ since, both from Apple and Samsung, slowly creeping up in price toward 800 until the past year or two where the top end is now at 1000-1500 ish. There was of course the Oneplus One, which was very good and reasonably high end for $300, but it didn’t match the 600 buck flagships of the time entirely.

My issue with the lifecalc is commander. While you can quite easily get to 40, commander is almost always multi-player, meaning you'll have more than 2 players.

idk i like the dry erase tokens. they make for some fun. most dry erase markers i've had come with a built in eraser. and after a few days of using them i've not had any trouble with getting dry erase ink on cards or the sleeves so its a nonissue unless someone is really messy

Can't say I agree with the Professor on this one. I would love to have dry-erase tokens, and can't think of anything more useless than a $15 electronic life-tracking doohickey. I have an EDH deck that is capable of making, at last count, sixteen different types of tokens (not all of which have official printings), and carrying that many with me can be a hassle. I don't mind getting dry-erase markers near my cards because, at least in every game of EDH I've played, the cards are all sleeved. Who cares if a six-cent sleeve gets an erasable mark on it? I'll probably be ordering a set or two of these soon. On the other hand...geez, another electronic device I have to carry around if I want to play Magic? As much as I like '80s technology, I see absolutely zero reason to pay good money for something that looks like a cheap two-buck calculator with 90% of the buttons removed when I already have an 89-cent 3-by-5 inch notepad that I use to track life totals. The pad of paper lets me make notes, and see changes in life over time to correct any discrepancies, while this device doesn't. This doesn't even work in multiplayer games, when I can just add another column to the sheet of the notepad I'm using!

ArmadilloAl The tokens look great and work great. In all of our testing we have never had a problem with after images. As a best practice you can put them in a penny sleeve or regular sleeve after using it. You won't get any marker on your hands or cards. Just remember DRY erase means DRY if you moisten a towel or napkin to remove the ink it will smear... You can visit our channel and see our demo.

@@T1supplies I'm sure nobody's looking at this random 3+ year old comment, but just in case anyone does, I did in fact pick up a set of these tokens, and they work great for me. Granted, I only use a black marker, but I've had zero of the problems the Prof mentioned in the video regarding erasing and afterimaging. I just happened across this old comment of mine while trying to make a plug for them on the Prof's latest video and was surprised how much he trashed them, given how well they've worked for me. 100% would buy again.

I really liked the life counter, but I cannot use it since it has no option for poison counters and I play Infect in Modern and have Virulent Sliver in my EDH deck.
