Rating AI Generated Magic: The Gathering Cards

[@RavenDravenek]

1:10:57 technically speaking, there is a very specific combo that would allow you to copy a player. It involves “Form of the Approach of the Second Sun”, “Yet Another Æther Vortex”, “Oath of Gideon”, “Luxior, Giada’s Gift”, and “See Double”

[@Dom_Maretti]

Two X in a casting cost means that you can only pay X in multiples of two...meaning that you'd get no additional effects for Famine if you pay 2 mana, and you *can't* pay 3 mana...you have to pay 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. Someone never cast Meteor Shower back in the day.

[@Breviparopus]

Also the fact that it contains no snow manna doesn't mean anything. Cards like blizzard brawl are snow but don't need snow manna

[@cool2314]

genesis hydra also has x not only in its mana cost but also in its card text, like when you cast it reveal x from top of your library.

[@amazincrackmonkey7176]

Yea famine is pretty strong, destruction and you get creatures back

[@BlueCardGanks592]

It’s not fair to compare turdling to elvish piper. It’s colorless and has artifact synergy. It costs one less to cast and has 1/1 more. And it doesn’t cost one green to activate.

[@TheKrazyguy75]

The Oops set is one someone is making on the server; it's an entire set of 0 toughness creatures.

[@flabort]

That's me!

[@whaleofdarkness]

The "Would lose unspent mana" in Master of Worms implies that you gain first strike instead of losing the mana. Which means you keep the mana over the turns. Like with Upwelling.

[@laytonjr6601]

There's no "instead" so you still lose the mana, your creature just gets first strike Edit: there's no "when", "whenever" or "at" so it's not a triggered ability. You're right that it's a replacement effect but I'm not sure you lose the mana

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:33:29 The Kavu planeswalkers said Return card with mana value x,not cards with mana value x,so you can only choose one card to return,and the mana value of that one card takes the value of x immediately. Because it said card,not cards

[@IskarJarek]

I think Nikachu is right about AI thinking you need multiple games to actually win. Whats the first simple thing AI can be trained on? Pong. AI plays hours and hours of pong, they love pong, then they become smarter and find Tennis. Now they love Tennis. And in Tennis, for mens, you have to win a minimum of 18 games to win the match.

[@TrimutiusToo]

I mean Tel-Jail is still not as broken as that land that won the game outright back in the day of AI cards...

[@crawdaddy1234]

9:59 Time of Ruthless is incredibly broken. If you’re on the draw, it could be tapping for three mana on turn two due to fetch lands.

[@BlueCardGanks592]

I think Famine is a pretty solid card in slower formats. A bit expensive but versatile and lot’s of value.

[@sagacious03]

Frustrated that I missed seeing this live. Hoping you might do more like this soon. Fun video! Thanks for uploading!

[@sindra77]

I'm so confused that Skyping wasnt immediately disregarded as overpowered because SIX MANA 11/12 TRAMPLE FIRST STRIKE with MORE TEXT

[@stevefurrier9932]

35:01 That art on the Glissa,Planeswalker card. Is it just me or does it kinda look like Pheromosa from Pokemon?

[@SnapDaddy96]

Reckless fury is literally just "The Snail" the card instantly kills as soon as it gets there.

[@spinozatheobvious626]

What if "Tel-Jail Lusine" means that you only win if the card you draw is called "your turn".

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:25:45The The thrull familiar cannot copy itself. When another card is put into a graveyard,you copy THAT card. I don't know how it would work if you have 2 Thrull Familiars. The 2nd Thrull Familiar would count as another card?

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:06:29 3 mana the card,plus 2 and tap to put the counters in it,and plus 2 to exile something,so in total would be 7 mana. Or it is has 0 counters,can you still remove a counter,and weaken the card basically? Or how would that work in that situation?

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:41:02 As long as they paired,so I Must sack them if they are in a pair,or can I decide when to sack them? Or can I just use that and a paired creatures as regular vanilla creatures until I feel like I need to sacrifice something

[@asdfghyter]

they have the activated ability while paired, so you can choose if and when to activate it

[@kabobawsome]

Famine needs 2 mana per X value. Both parts use the same X value. Several spells use this format, IDK where the confusion is coming in. Also, Blood on the Snow and Blizzard Brawl exist, snow mana is not required to be a snow spell.

[@gerald216]

Disrupting Tethers from 20:15 would block the damage from painlands right?

[@Z03Y_1S_H3R3]

To the Cliffing Blight. The way this works is when the effect goes on the stack, you target something. Then, when the effect resolves, you are allowed to chose one of the Permanents targeted by this Ability.

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:28:20 That's not a big water. There is literally a shadow of a mountain behind the bear,so it could springwalk back there

[@flabort]

Glad to see 3 of the cards I submitted get rated in this stream. Glad you got the references/jokes in all of them. Powerful Ascension - One of the earliest cards I ever submitted, getting the image AI to make the liquid yellow to match the card text was a challenge. It's been sitting in the bucket waiting to be posted to the twitter for a looong time. Mercolarian Maro - "Is that Mark Rosewater?" Glad that the AI's impression of the man is actually recognizable. I knew when "Maro" was in it's name that the image had to include something close to his likeness. I went through about 7 sets of art generation trying to find something that wouldn't be offensive, though. Swarm Swamp - Also glad that someone got the joke with the sad trombone noise and pointed it out to you. Yeah, it's meant to be a trombone in the art, not a trumpet, but the AI doesn't understand the difference.

[@petersmythe6462]

Boots Hope is really strong. Especially since on the off chance it doesn't kill the opponent outright, you can still just sacrifice the near-useless green Saproling it made the previous turn.

[@stevefurrier9932]

35:57 At -9 The most of the players would use the card,to go down kill itself,so the last ability basically just reanimating itself,not putting more on the battlefield. That is the purpose,to don't go over +9,so you can kill it with -9 and bring it back badically

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:11:42 The copy the player card in my understanding,if you and the other player would do the same action. Both of you drawing an extra card/turn,or something like that. Or if both of you played exact same card.

[@wongwei7830]

33:42 I'm jamming Glissa into my Mishra, Artificer Prodigy deck! XD It also looks like Chromium, the Mutable is the only commander that can be casted if anyone has Glissa's emblem. Also, Prowling Seropard, Allosaurus Shepard, Vexing Shusher, Surrak Dragonclaw, and Sphinx of the Final Word are cards that can be played to enable other cards to be played after Glissa's ultimate!

[@thomasmiller8289]

So does trailblaak lose you the game on delay as you perform a search for every creature in mtg? Or can you fail to find in this scenario to save time? Can you find multiple copies of same creature with this wording?

[@jacobmeagher]

10:27 time of ruthless would go really well in a mono blue artifact deck hurting a land matters deck

[@hurktang]

1:28:30 The cat land is a new land type right? Brings domain up to 6 isnt it? 1:12:30 Also I adore Rowan pendulum art. Using web servers as mace is an awesome idea. xD

[@emilyerben4782]

For Kudsu Froil-Rider (20:41): You could just cast Flash in your opponent's end step on turn 1, put this creature in and sacrifice it immediately to get the 5 tokens. Next turn use all of them to put your entire hand onto the battlefield.

[@crawdaddy1234]

23:30 Did anyone notice that for the Kudsu Froil-Rider, the creature tokens it creates, you have to discard your hand before putting anything into play? 😂

[@taemyr]

46:50 Hopeborn Nemesis does not help in casting changelings. Creature types is listed in CR 205.3m, and Bessert is not a creature type. Since Bessert is not a creature type changeling does not grant it.

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:08:36 The Trillblaak cars The second ability wouldn't work,cause the first ability triggers first,and when this happens they are already in play,so the second ability,the put all creatures out, wouldn't work,I think. Cause it didn't say when it enters the battlefield it does That AND that,now that both ETB abilities separated,it can't stack,and only the first ability is usable

[@briansneary7535]

x is the cmc of the creature for Angel of flux?

[@petersmythe6462]

Its Yending Armours: because what we need is a Land that gives creature stats to Planeswalkers, using a Planeswalker ability that costs Loyalty it doesn't have and doesn't produce, which has no tap ability and doesn't generate Mana.

[@iloveyandex4862]

Is skyping 8 post viable deck?

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:01:48 That second ability targets your own life total too. Cause each player

[@stevefurrier9932]

22:49 Vivien is actually a common female name in Hungary. In other places it would be Vivienne

[@stevefurrier9932]

17:04 If the Shriekheader would have copy basic lands instead of just copying any lands,would be fair

[@kosakukawajiri5007]

This may have been one of the most overpowered sessions of AI cards yet. From a land that basically adds possibly 40 mana in one go, to an Avatar that could copy that absurd land, to drawing a card and winning the game. Also since I am newish to Magic but binge these AI cards, every time I see the X cost, I remember X gets around that Chalice. And about that Time of Ruthless, the Eldrazi are just salivating at the sight of it. Wrath Of God, Armageddon, then when everyone's stuff is in the grave, you Time of Ruthless and play some disgusting Eldrazi that has almost free reign on the field.

[@MrArbaras]

Realistically, if you have to piss to return a card to your hand you are limiting yourself to only 2, maybe 3 times every couple hours. Seems balanced

[@Breviparopus]

You also need to buy a new card at the end of each game

[@stevefurrier9932]

You piss off your opponent literally😂😂😂

[@Vario69]

Card sleeves stocks 📈📈📈

[@wongwei7830]

47:16 I almost want to say: "For rulings on the Oldwall Tree, please see Riding the Dilu Horse." XD But cards recently have added the clause "for the rest of the game" for effects that last that long... But seeing as this card is supposedly being printed in Future Sight, I'm assuming that this clause wasn't being printed on cards in the game yet! XD Also, for 1 mana, this seems like an absolutely broken effect! O.o

[@petersmythe6462]

Wait... What happens when you play a 0 cost spell that has cascade?

[@maxtyler8993]

I think the thing that makes Ashen broken for me isn't necessarily the ability + stats vs cost (although probably could cost 4 and be fine) its the fact that it's colorless. I could (and should) slot that bad boy into any deck. Its like the wandering throne from Caverns.

[@dracolientreri7302]

I completely understand famine, for 4 total mana put a 3 drop from your grave to hand, your creatures get trample and vigilance, and you pop 1 creature.

[@joelhaggis5054]

1:25:40 Thrull familiar gets wacky if you have two of them.

[@emberalus2229]

Bro, the reckless fury card should be "Where x is the number of wizards your opponents control" would lovee that.

[@stevefurrier9932]

15:12 That Shriekheader thing art kinda looks like Ifrit from Final Fantasy

[@murlocaggrob2192]

Reminds me of a fusion of Carnage and Scream, the Spider-Man villains.

[@nicodemuseam]

25:36 "Up to X targets" -- So damn flexible, this card is basically a guaranteed two-for-one with at least one wizard in play, and that's the *floor.*

[@aagloworks]

20:10 - auras do not do combat damage I think. Animated islands do

[@captainrumia2607]

The Convoke on Angelic Golem doesn't really help you cast it at all, unless you have something that interacts with the top or bottom of your deck. At least, if we assume the reminder text is what the AI thinks the effect is supposed to be.

[@dancing_odie]

For Fishmater: If you have no way to win the game this turn and your opponent is going to win on their turn AND they have like 3 life left you would cycle it to potentially draw your bolt for the win.

[@MrFelblood]

43:30 If you have a way to transform into Darksteels's guile early, you could really spank Boros Humans decks.

[@Finngrinder]

Time of Ruthless is such Madness in Dredge

[@ЮрийЗагуменнов-ш7ц]

About picture of "Reckless Fury": I think "slug" here is what you called "lava" and fishlike creature - unlucky wizard.

[@petersmythe6462]

So does Worst Dragon get to be played for free or does it need to be cheated in? Looking at the fact that most people suggest it's underpowered makes me think it can only be cheated in.

[@BlueSapphyre]

Having no mana cost is different than having 0 mana cost, like ornithopter. You can only cheat it into play.

[@stevefurrier9932]

24:29 That art reminds me from the bomb from some Mario game. I can't remember which one

[@BeanWagon90]

I think a cool idea for the knight of slaughter and his wide counters would have been if, instead of being able to remove wide counters to exile things, he could block an extra creature for each wide counter on him. It would have fit more with the flavor of a counter being called a wide counter and he's already a 2/6. Maybe change the name to something more fitting, either give him indestructible and or death touch or a way to gain one or both of those say maybe if he has enough wide counters and adjust his mana cost accordingly, then you have yourself a really neat card!

[@IniquitousZ]

Time of Ruthless would indeed be nasty with mill, one Mind Funeral and its a 4 mana land guarenteed.

[@petersmythe6462]

Glissa, Phosished Warning + Ruthless Time would be an okay combo. It basically lets you capture 2 of your opponent's lands.

[@uchigatana3513]

1:13:46 Somewhere at MTG tournament: "Oh no, my opponent is strong... But I must win this! Now, I'll put my Minecraft server on a line!"

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Swarm Swamp somehow being a One With Nothing that you have to work for

[@petersmythe6462]

The way I read famine, the two X are completely separate. You pay a red and black to give everything you control trample and vigilance, you pay X1 to destroy X1 artifacts or creatures of your choosing, and you pay X2 to return *UP TO* X2 creatures costing 3 or less into your hand from the discard.

[@laytonjr6601]

If they were separate it would be an X and a Y (there's exactly 1 magic cards that has an Y I think). You need to pay X twice and you have the same X for both effects

[@petersmythe6462]

"When Reckless Fury enters the battlefield, exile up to X target creatures, where X is the number of wizards on the battlefield." This card is either "I cast gun" or "fuck wizards in particular."

[@Patogeno1000]

Skyping, Shriekheader is like Mythweaver Poq (Arena-only) on crack😈

[@nailahprincessofhokuto2024]

17:09 I feel like this would never be Cast unless it's with Rituals. Also Copy Cathedral of War for more exalted

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:38:09 4 mana for a 6/6 is hella strong even if if you just use it as a vanila creature

[@whaleofdarkness]

It affects Undying and Persist creatures. They don't return to the battlefield tapped. The only creatures it doesn't affect are those benefitting from a Feign Death or a similar spell.

[@petersmythe6462]

There's a lot of 3/2 for 3 with First Strike cards out there and they often come with other nice abilities. Master of Worms doesn't get first strike for free and is a 3/2 for 4. I don't think it would see play.

[@levelengineSR]

with that flavor text he said the fleshborn shark needs a hug

[@Dom_Maretti]

Time of Ruthless can be brought out and start producing immediately via Crop Rotation. Next turn, drop a Fetch, and Ruthless is tapping for 2...then you have 3 available for Harrow, setting Ruthless to tapping for 3 on the following turn...or you can use a "free" spell such as Frantic Search to keep going. Throw in Squandered Resources and Natural Balance...jeez. I don't know of too many cards that would be better for Sultai Ramp or Sultai Artifact decks than this card.

[@petersmythe6462]

6/6 for 4 with a purely positive effect is ban-worthy. There are some cards that are 6/6 for 4 but all of them have downsides and some of them have downsides and no upsides, which suggests even a 6/6 for 4 beatstick with no effect would be at just about the limit of what would break the game.

[@Mysterium-zy6ri]

Time of Ruthless is INSANE with Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker

[@nanya524]

I use Elvish Piper in any of my big stompy decks with green in them. I get to laugh as I drop Stormtide Leviathan or Avacyn or an Eldrazi Titan into play for one green.

[@stevefurrier9932]

1:26:26 You can only copy cards what goes into YOUR graveyard

[@petersmythe6462]

Ok but you need to have creature cards with Mana value X for Angel of Flux to pull back into the hand in the graveyard. There aren't many creature cards with Mana value infinite.

[@petersmythe6462]

Encompronize is more or less double Plague Wind for 5 mana instead of 9 each. You pretty much just win if you have a few creatures in play.

[@兄さん]

1:47:40 read the reminder text! this AI version of convoke is a li'l bit interesting...3

[@Rhayvenloft]

Skyping Shriekheader, that Ruthless land, and stripmine. put it in an izzet storm deck.... FTW....

[@petersmythe6462]

Knight of Slaughter would be the most annoying shit to play against. It's a giant wall of toughness that just exiles your stuff.

[@petersmythe6462]

Planar Worker gets out of control quickly though. Like, those 1/1 Persacres tokens will be multiplying exponentially.

[@wongwei7830]

44:27 I hope Celons, Salver is better than Omniscience! XD

[@petersmythe6462]

Dawnfull Pathway is pretty decent. I am not sure about its convoke and cycling but it's an alright card regardless.

[@heheheiamasuperstarwarrior9281]

Snow is just a supertype with no requirements, there are plenty of snow cards that have nothing to do with snow mana. Ohran frostfang came in the grand larceny OTJ precon, it's a snow permenant and it has no snow mana affiliation

[@petersmythe6462]

The irony that Kudsu Froil-Rider is practically perfect for cheating out cards, but is itself a card that needs to be cheated out. "Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"

[@pallen2645]

Oldwall Tree: I think statoc abilities on non-permanent cards function while that card is on the stack. So You play Oldwall Tree, then before it resolves to cast whatever else you've got, those cards get cascade, then once Oldwall Tree resolves the effect is gone.

[@ryanharris5714]

If you [[Through the Breach]] [[kudzu froil-rider]], you can get the death trigger. It would be an incredible card in those [[Through the Breach]] decks.

[@Dom_Maretti]

Ashen Korga Turdling is too good at 3 colorless. If they remade Elvish Piper as is, but with a 2/4 statblock, that's be fine. 3 colorless, with no activation cost beyond tapping is too good. You cna have it pumping out creatures on turn 2 in Commander...Turn 1 Sol Ring into Lightning Greaves. Turn 2 you cast this and equip it with said Lightning Greaves, cheat out Blightsteel and move Lightning Greaves to Blightsteel. That's a best-case scenario, admittedly, but still. If it only costs 3 to cast, its ability needs to cost at least 2 to activate (on top of tapping it).

[@makeupartisttobe]

Skyping + Landfall effects = Profit! DANGER!

[@gnarl80fi]

Really man, read the cards carefully! It is driving me crazy sometimes. With love though :D

[@dancing_odie]

if 1080p is too much for some people, THEY should change THEIR settings. You shouldn't have to change your recording quality.

[@gerald216]

There is basically 0 reason for this to be 1080p though. Even at 480p the only thing that starts to get lost is the really wordy cards. If this was a yugioh based show I would agree with you.

[@dancing_odie]

I'm on mobile half the time and sometimes I can't read some of the text or mana symbols. I can attest that 1080p would make it easier to see.

[@thomasmiller8289]

Artifact Golem snuck that reminder text right by 😅 This is not your papa’s convoke

[@nailahprincessofhokuto2024]

30:40 Will the real High Bidder please stand up?

[@emberalus2229]

First card is a blue fable of the mirror breaker with arguably better effects, I guess that's fine,

[@maddamame]

Its Yending Armor its a perfectly appropriate card for its art, as a cat would screw you over even when its trying to help you.

[@trialconesiaur1638]

Hear me out… ult the Glissa (use Doubling Season?) -> trigger the emblem -> tutor more Glissas (they die to legend rule) -> use Epitaph Golem (already on the battlefield, of course) to put them back in the library -> infinite mana, land destruction, and/or damage triggers!!! (…assuming you can also cast/draw more spells, of course. Gravecrawler? Oathsworn Vampire? Tenacious Underdog? Vilis? Whatevs, no biggie!) Watch out Legacy, it’s time to cook 😎👨‍🍳

[@samuellanghus1455]

+The fact that you definitely have uncounterable Emrakul in the deck, so it’s really only a matter of time before you win.

[@petersmythe6462]

Thrull Familiar + Slaughter Knight + Ruthless Time would be the most annoying thing ever.

[@swirlingvortex09]

I haven't even made it 10 minutes through this video and we have "p*s*i*g", "turdling", and "jizar"; 😆. I couldn't help but scream in laughter for 3 minutes each time I heard/saw/read one of these.

[@CanisMythson]

Put Kudsu Froil-Rider in a Cloning Vat to make tokens of her for 3 mana. Then keep doing it and killing the tokens via the Legend Rule. Tadaa! Infinite show and tell
