Friday Nights - "Brewmaster Showdown"

I brought Shota Yasooka's Grixis control deck to KLD Gameday and have come to the conclusion that it only works if you are, actually, Shota Yasooka.

[@charleshammond7921]

Shota always finds a way to make grixis work.

Kathleen calls Missie "friend" and Boops her? On the nose? Yes, Missie. Terror is the apropriate reaction. I'm scared too.

[@ExhaustedElox]

I think it would have been funny for Beej to inexplicably be there at the end holding boosters for most original deck list.

[@kappaross6124]

He brought a Yugioh deck.

[@LiamAnthony_]

To be fair, Blue Eyes White Dragon has never seen play in the Magic meta before.

[@moxbagel]

He was building Dredge before, maybe he figured out how to make Manaless Dredge work in Standard?

[@CodenameJD]

Which is so weird, it's a 3000/2500 flyer! Sure, it's 8 mana, but it's in WU! You can stall out the game long enough.

SO pumped when they added her to the cast full-time. She's also better than Matt ever was, IMO.

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

Her "boop" sounded just like Sombra.

[@TheUnspokenKibbles]

Missy's arc in this episode had me alternately filled with pity, sympathy, and empathy. The Friday Nights-verse holiday history really has been a tad messed-up. I'm unsure if the commentary on the social conditions that bring about Gift Escalation is intentional or if it's just part of the characters, but either way I'm both amused and just want to give everyone a hug.

[@AQuietMyth]

I was sure the punchline of the Missie story was that the presents were standard showdown packs

[@mr.strider6497]

I keep coming back to this episode just for Cameron's U-Brew Standard Warehouse. As someone who loves drafting, sealed, and just cracking packs, I know that feeling of having so mountains of random cards lying around, even just for Standard.

[@alejandrorivas4585]

At the time so was chandra and aetherflux.... that standard was weird. I gave up so much value it haunts me

[@GeeksWelcomePlays]

"We all won." "Yeah." If you look at Cameron's face in the background, you can tell that last statement is not true.

My friend took is Aetherflux Cheerios Deck to Standard and played against someone doing a deck called "Thirty Seven Reality Smashers" The name was literal.

[@drpibisback7680]

"How are you even doing this?" "I found that as long as you don't play more than four Reality Smashers in one game, nobody will call a judge on you." "Why play thirty seven Reality Smashers if you can only play four per game?" "Consistency. Turns out most people can't beat four Reality Smashers in a row. A lot of them can't even beat two or three in a row." "How did you even register for this event?" "I lied. If anyone with organized play asks, the deck is called 'thirty three islands and four Reality Smashers.'" "How do you avoid your opponents reporting you after a match?" "The shame does it for me."

Man, I missed my chance to put in my most original deck of the Kaladesh block: Train Tribal. It's strictly worse Mardu Vehicles because you take out all the good vehicles and put in trains instead. And also Skysovereign. It's an honorary train.

[@azure6743]

When is the next episode? This is one of my favorite things on the internet...

[@Roman_Noodles]

I've got a question, does anyone know the likelihood of getting specific colors of cards in a booster pack? Like, is each card just as likely to be each color? And if so, what's the probability of it being an artifact?

[@BionicKing]

The rares are a crapshoot. Assuming no mythic (which is 7/8 of all packs) it will just be a randomly assigned rare. The other 1/8th are the same, but pulled from the mythic pool instead of the rare pool. The commons and uncommons are all the same rarity with the only condition that you will never get two of the same card in the same pack (not counting foils). They don't bias cards towards any particular color (that would wreak havoc on card prices). Foils replace 1 common, and are just one random card chosen regardless of rarity.

[@snirky]

I was so confident that U-brew was going to be a Cam drafts blue joke.
