[@artemisspawnofzeus7732]

Once you start getting rules wrong i tune out. Minimal content making effort guys. Know what the cards do.

[@scottpearson9846]

this video is a year old. the reason that card is called "park bleater" is because its a park employee (the "park" part) and goats, when bellowing loudly, that action is called "bleating". basically its a park barker (a term for someone shouting announcements) but since the creature type is a goat, calling it a "barker" would imply it would be a dog. Its a pun in english

[@thomasjakobsen2260]

A real handful cares about the number of hands that are touching that card

[@norahporter4075]

and renaming it a real cheese may have bricked the card, unless name changes propagate through the card text lol

[@Rukalin]

[@aidenchism8628]

Now the question is: if you have two on the field, can you touch both with both hands for four, or does it still only count as two hands touching a real handful? I believe it to be the latter.

[@boyo7918]

@@aidenchism8628 Yeah it would be the latter. The idea of the card is that it's better if you're "holding its hand"

Not to mention since he changed its name to a real cheese, it's own effects don't even work anymore on itself lmao

The editing in this is actually off the charts. I was going to point one out that I liked, but then there were quickly too many edits to count! Carl you have topped yourself once again! Great work. I was hoping for a second round because it was so fun. I had this much fun drafting this at my house with family, but it is way better as sealed. The attractions take up too many cards and we had no choice for removing any cards and we were forced to go 3 color decks.

[@AgonalRhythm]

As goofy as un-sets tend to be, this one seems like a really, really solid and fun time in a vacuum (i.e. limited) Tons of great moments from this video!

9:50 - oh no... you've misread the comma in those lines. It's hands touching . Not hands touching period. Not "As long as one or more hands are touching... (pause) a Real handful gets" Its "As long as one or more hands are touching A Real Handful... (pause) it gets"

This set was super fun (I went to prerelease and draft, a nightmare to play againt Germans as a noob in German because we barely understood the cards and our interpretation of how they worked and interacted). Stickers are terrible, but Attractions are prettty nice, I am even considering building an Attraction EDH deck.

Just a thought, if your 2 hands are holding a HAND of cards, is that then 3 hands touching? 🤔😂

animated graveyard and trashbin are a pain to keep track of because if a 4/4 leaves the Yard, the creature also gets smaler.

My friend group does a similar die roll. We call it Pizza Roll and you throw x3 D6. and its closest to 7, and if there is a tie, winner is the one who doesnt go over 7.

- MTG is pretty much the same game as before, not much has changed. - OK, I now attack you with my flying menace graveyard and because I am holding hands it gets +2/+2

[@Alfenheimer]

Picked up a draft box of Unfinity. Girlfriend is interested in the game as a concept but not as a lifestyle or hobby so figured we could have some fun games of sealed together with this silly set. Will be in next week.

Honestly the Un sets feels like they could only exist IRL to act as foil to Arena's Alchemy sets.

[@mankeyproductions9109]

Why does the music fit so well for this set though...

[@Bomsanchu]

couple rule thingy's although its an un-set there are rules, a real handfull says that you must touch it with 2 or more hands not the player having to touch multiple hands, you can only add names not replace parts of a name.

[@josephcourtright8071]

You guys you really make my day if you would play Triskaidekaphile. Its a rouge deck in standard with almost no play. Basically every creature it plays draws a card when it enters the battlefield. Either you wipe the board and crush them under card advantage or you win by the effect of Triskaidekaphile. From my testing you actually more likely to mill yourself out than to lose to the opponent. Here is one possible list. It would near some serious work though if it was to leave standard to a more powerful format. Main: 2 Adarkar Wastes 2 Anointed Peacekeeper 2 Ao, the Dawn Sky 3 Borrowed Time 2 Consuming Tide 2 Depopulate 1 Deserted Beach 2 Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire 1 Farewell 4 Inspiring Overseer 5 Island 2 Otawara, Soaring City 8 Plains 4 Resistance Squad 4 Silver Scrutiny 4 Spirited Companion 4 Touch the Spirit Realm 4 Tranquil Cove 4 Triskaidekaphile Side Board: 1 Borrowed Time 2 Curse of Silence 2 Devious Cover-Up 3 Farewell 3 Lantern of the Lost 4 Negate

I think A Real Handful requires you to touch the card. not your hands to each other.

[@DackKija]

Poor Jamin .... This is starting to become a pattern

[@EvilCherry3]

3:20 Don’t you need 2tron lands in addition to the Top ? Like the changelings count only 1 towards the Party ability.

[@MrSyltphademus]

Unlikely. The Party mechanic additionally cares about the amount of creatures, not just what creature types you have. The Urza lands just care about if you control the other two lands, so it should still work since you DO control the named cards (just combined into one), similar to how Domain works.

[@EvilCherry3]

@@MrSyltphademus ok thanks:)

[@wingdinggaster6737]

Nearby planet does actually tap for 1 mana of any color. The tap ability is intrinsic of the basic land types, not of the card. Although it doesn’t have the multi mana tap abilities. Also I believe the Tron lands care about having cards with specific names, not specific types

[@UnsIiced]

No, the tron lands care about the types, nearby planet turns on tron as well as urza's fun house

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

interesting stickers mechanic. i don't like stickers on cards or sleeves, but it's an interesting mechanic nonetheless.

[@Varler_]

That was weird and fun! Some rules errors and missed triggers, but who cares if it's an un-set! One I will point out, though, just because this could matter in Legacy (lol) or Commander: Stickers can only be placed on CARDS you own and control. Tokens aren't cards unless you have that one Legendary Creature that makes tokens into cards.

[@xavion333]

It's worth noting this isn't true, nothing in the rules actually prevents you putting stickers on tokens, they simply have to be an object you control. I'm not even sure there are any cards which give you stickers only for cards?

[@noahcarroll4944]

No, anything that says stickers will say "you may put a sticker on a **nonland permanent you own**. Tokens are indeed permanents, even if they aren't cards, so it still works

[@drredstone4819]

I would love to see more ai decks

[@Unyubaby]

I'm really loving this set just from how silly it is. Is it available in Commander? Cuz this would be hilarious in a fourway match.

[@Oxygen1004]

I've made a commander deck with it, took 12 turns in a row but still lost as it wasn't the most well made deck (just found the idea of casting extra turn spells when I visit attractions to be funny), the other can just straight up take infinite turns if no one can deal with creatures. Funny how the strongest commander has nothing to do with the set's mechanics

[@1337-Nathaniel]

Putting a sticker on the A Real Handful card is cute, but it basically makes it useless because the card text specifies "A Real Handful" being touched. (I also didn't understand the bit with "are you touching your own hand" because the hand(s) had to touch THE CARD)

[@noahcarroll4944]

If a card refers to its own card name within its rules text, it's usually just meant to be saying "this permanent/card"; otherwise, multiple copies of a card makes it kinda confusing

[@egoalter1276]

Any 8nstance of a cerds name in its rules text is written as [CARDNAME] in pure rules notation. So if the bame changes, the reference also changes. This is used in constructed play with the mutate mechanic for example.

[@astralman]

The word stickers add on to the name, they don't replace existing words. So "A Real Handful" becomes "A Real Handful Cheese".

A Real Handful would have become either "A Real Cheese Handful" or "A Real Handful Cheese", Name and Art (and ability) stickers are purely additive. Only the P/T stickers overwrite.

Oh man, if only Macie would work with Angel's Grace... but it has split second and you can't respond to it to activate her...

I think she does -- she targets an effect, not the card that created it, so you can activate her after Angel's Grace resolves but before the effect ends.

U could have prepared by watching the LRR PPR but hey, here we are now. Time to have un-fun! @9:28 read the card! U need to TOUCH the card with that many hands to get the benefit. Just doing a high-five doesn’t match the criteria to trigger the effects. @11:39 that’s an illegal action! The hands need to TOUCH the card to trigger the effect on the card. So by official UN-rules the creature wouldn’t get lifelink. @19:53 yes, ALL attractions trigger when roling their number. @25:42 I wonder if they’ll undertand the impact this card has in an UN-game, this card is exploitable imo… @28:42 enter one of the #minigames in this UN-set: “phone a friend” @31:12 Read the card! U put the whole deck on your head after u shuffled yourself into the deck. And u lose the game when any card from the deck falls from your head. Thus making it very hard for U to win the game. @31:57 the moment Thoralfs opponent loses his head and the game (by not having his deck on his head). @33:29 Thoralf should have won if all rules were applied as intended.
