34:40 nissa actually gets +4! Even though doubling season cant replace the cost for the ability, it can replace vorinclex’s replacement ability (see rule 614.16).

Magic is hard!

[@KR-nd4dm]

On the bright side, the fact that Nissa would have gone that high didn't make an effective difference in the game since her ultimate would have just pulled out 4 lands from Jimmy's deck (looking at the board state/hand/decklist, that was how many "forests" were still in the deck), and there was no way for him to use that to gain life or draw more cards (since he did have a couple outs in the deck to draw).

Vorinclex interacts with planeswalkers, too - Jimmy's should have doubled how many were being placed on them, and Arin's Tezzeret wouldn't get anything (half of +1, rounded down). The Great Henge wouldn't place counters on things, either. EDIT: Except, Vorinclex is phased out for some of that. Wouldn't affect it when he's not there, obviously.

Jimmy could of ultimate Nissa aswell I really wish they wouldn't miss play stuff like this but make efforts to point out rules on other plays Vorinclex is a super powered card and we got to see him do non of what's he's supposed to do. If you notice Nissa keeps changing how much she has.

[@TheElectrikCow]

@@nagumyrehal3922 At the time when Jimmy could have used Nissa's ultimate, it was actually worse than her +1, because all of those forests come into play tapped, and her +1 at least makes him a creature (he still way misplayed the rest of that turn). Would have been cool to see it go off though, since he was dead on board anyways.

[@Frommerman]

Just so you all know, Vorinclex's replacement effect is an effect. Which means when it doubles the plus abilities of planeswalkers, it also turns those costs into effects. Which means Doubling Season can now see them. So +1s become +4s

[@JediMB]

I'm a bit late to the game here, but I just thought I'd add that this interaction is possible due to a comprehensive rules change made back when Ixalan released. Before that point, replacement effects didn't count as effects. That led to, for example, Doubling Season not affecting Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet's zombie generation ability... which was unintuitive, to say the least.

[@SirRiconious]

I'm only about two thirds through the episode, but Arin completely whiffing is just **chefs kiss** on-brand

[@Beocaleb]

Fun fact about enemy planeswalkers and Vorinclex: So enemy planeswalkers are effected by Vorinclex. Since the wording on the creature is slightly different than doubling season. Doubling season cares about effects which is why the cost of planeswalkers are not effected but Vorinclex cares about the player so when you pay the cost to place a counter for the +1 on tezzeret you actually place half that many rounded down since you are the one placing the counters. Just to clear up poor wording above. Vorinclex reduces the plus abilities of planeswalkers not just the amount they enter with.

[@ferdithetank7535]

Yep, was kinda funny seeing how Kaya from Kaldheim couldn't exile Vorinclex since she came into play with not enough loyalty.

[@JohnJohn-mx9zt]

yep! that means that tezzeret would never go up in loyalty, since it's rounded down, which means that josh couldnt gain life from tiamat unless he swung at a player because tezzeret would be dead.

[@portalmasterlp453]

Also the counters from great hendge wouldn't be put on as well

[@Beocaleb]

@@portalmasterlp453 though true, at the time the great henge was played all of Jimmy's board was phased out therefore those counters would still be placed normally.

The shout-out to The Big Short with the bubble bath scene is fantastic. One of my favorite movies.
