Playing out the +2 in my head on Lo-Kord, the Waterted Felide is hilarious: "I plus two and I discard you" "Ah, but I regenerate!" "Ahahahaha! You cannot!"

[@sagacious03]

1:44:48 The 10 Colorless Spirits, including Changelings include: Bloodline Pretender, Dancing Scimitar, Faceless Agent, Horrible Hordes, Morophon the Boundless, Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate, Scion of Ugin, Sorcerer's Broom, Ugin's Conjurant, & Universal Automaton. There's potential! Especially if it can help pay big costs with X or double X mana in them....

One with Nothing: I am the worst card ever printed. Obistai Grande: Hold my beer.

[@stevenmermelstein7806]

Sprint bear makes a lot of sense he has haste since he was running from the bear and comes in tapped cause he fell down . He has shroud after the bear lands on him since spells would just hit the bear and not him.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Chance-Rakari's "0: Deals 3 damage to you" doesn't work like Nikachu thought. A couple people in chat caught it, but he missed it. The "you" refers to the controller of the ability, which is whoever activates it.

Sadly, I was unable to attend this live. I wish I could see you do AI Generated cards videos like this more often. Anyway, thanks for uploading! Might comment more later!

I can't go to the well too often or it will run dry :P Once every 2 weeks seems to be good.

[@sagacious03]

[@ModernArtery]

Hey Nikachu just wanted to say these AI card reviews are probably my favorite content on KZbin right now. I love the SNES-era soundtrack, the usually-goofy but sometimes-cool cards you look at, and how you mostly interpret them from a rules-accurate perspective. It all comes together to produce an extremely fun and watchable video every time and it always brightens my day. So thank you again, keep being awesome dude

[@sporkincarnate]

My interpretation for the Phyrexian Blitzering is that that the magic cyborgs did a blitzkrieg and got all their damage in at step 1, when the human army didn't even show up until step 2

[@mrphlip]

4:50 Philosophical question, if this is a land that taps for {0}, is that a mana ability?

[@jordanmazzella7657]

49:03 Churic Twister is that ex-girlfriend you and your friends just use as an adjective: “that’s so Churic Twister!”

[@bobmcgriddle5504]

1:17:53 Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider and doubling season make it so Kahoira comes in with 24 counters making it possible to deal 60 damage to each opponent in 3 turns. And 24 loyalty keeps it safe from death most of the time

[@trialconesiaur1638]

That dog definitely “completed a dragon”

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Balduvan Mystic is still REALLY strong. If you give it lifelink and ever have 2 more life than your opponent, you win. But even if not, it's still probably worth 6+ points of burn to close a game.

[@Lyakusha1]

Konza enters the battlefield, exiles all the creatures, refuses to elaborate further and fases out

[@oz_jones]

Peace

[@lykillcorreli6740]

I'm, uh, not a Magic Player... but my own reading of Moria Vanguard seems like you choose a number, then every player returns that number from their graveyard to their hand? Not sure how accurate that is, though.

[@crawdaddy1234]

57:08 I like Awn Swanna, because it really wouldn’t be great as a Commander, because the Rebound only works if casting from HAND.

[@mythtage]

43:40 *cough* Narset *cough*

[@Sazzxdndandmtg]

27:25 if a card would enter a players hand/graveyard or library and they dont it enters the respective zone of its owner instead e.g if you bounce a creature to your hand you don't own it goes to the creatures owners hand instead so this card would let the opponent search their deck reveal the cards give them to you and they go to the opponents hand instead of yours

[@sagacious03]

1:00:23 A generous interpretation of the flavour text makes it sound like Thrill Fist is an evil artifact in a story. As her height, a cause to fight again. = Just like the 8 people she knew, [something] gives her a cause to fight again. There are festive then that does not spent older yea fled, but inn shut a fall. = There's festivities that don't exhaust you, one who ran away, but the inn will prevent a fall? (Fall from grace.) The cube of midst all yearn and the place will fall in = Everyone yearns for (wants) the cube of things happening during stuff, & the place (the story's setting?) will "fall in", interpretable as falling from grace or "collapsing in on itself", ruin to the land, etc. TL;DR - My interpretation is there's a female character who's got new cause to fight again, but she needs to loosen up but also mind the safety of the inn, & also this cube is an evilly desirable artifact (Like The One Ring) that will bring a downfall. Presumably she needs to stop it.

[@_Vengeance_]

Have Bazaar Trader freed from summoning sickness, Emrakul, and Quicksilver Amulet. During your opponent's turn you're in control of, use Quicksilver Amulet to bring out Chance-Rakari Dragon and use Bazaar Trader to donate it to your opponent. GG.

[@Jammonstrald]

Just checked Gatherer, there are no creature spells that target a player when cast.

[@AdderMoray]

"Whenever a creature with power 2 or less, destroy it." I interpret that to mean whenever the creature does anything. Attacks, blocks, taps, enters the battlefield. As long as it just exists on the battlefield, it won't be destroyed.

[@oz_jones]

There are monored merfolks, for example Fissure Fluxmage

[@akeustis]

1:09:50 Needs to be reworked as "Each player searches their graveyard for up to X cards and adds them to their hand." X should be in the casting cost.

[@Bellachump]

4:32 Damn what about mishra dragon engine meld?

[@TheKrazyguy75]

Chance-Rakari Dragon can only deal damage to whoever activates the ability; "you" refers to the controller of the ability.

[@divicarpe1844]

I guess completing a dragon would be similar to meld mechanic, where you have multiple parts of a dragon that melt with each other's.

[@FelbloodStreaming]

From minute one, we are entering a world where Tezzeret's fursona is a card. 3:00 Meld Misha with the Dragon Engine, to make this nonsense mana dork into a burn piece. 5:30 If a land has a mana symbol there, that's what it taps for. Therefore, you can tap this land for 0 colorless snow mana. Maybe enchant it to produce additional mana, and that mana becomes snow? Still worse than a land that works out of the box.

[@dancing_odie]

Magic has 27,000 different cards and only 6 are colorless spirits. Thats oddly specific

[@sagacious03]

38:34 (Criminar's Fallen) There are several dozen creature spells with on-cast abilities, but only 5 have on-cast abilities that can target players... & all of those 5 are Eldrazi: Abundant Maw, Bearer of Silence, Distended Mindbender, Emrakul, the Promised End, & Oblivion Sower. Very efficient Eldrazi counter card, lol.

[@Breviparopus]

But it's an ability that targets the player not the creature itself so you can't cast it even if you get round the timing restriction

[@sagacious03]

@@Breviparopus What do you mean? Criminar's Fallen says "Counter target creature spell that targets you", Abundant Maw says "When you cast this spell, target opponent loses 3 life and you gain 3 life.". Shouldn't CF be able to counter Abundant Maw?

[@Breviparopus]

@sagacious03 when you cast abundant maw an ability goes on the stack to make the player loose life. The ability targets the player not the creature

[@sagacious03]

@@Breviparopus I see. Tragic that it works that way. At least for Criminar's Fallen, lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & interest on the subject!

[@williamdrum9899]

I still don't get how AI has no concept of color pie, you'd think that would be the easy part.

[@mrbusdriver]

8:00 This card is OP with Stuffy Doll. Ping the targeted player with it's own ability plus pinging again with the vision tap trigger plus the three with the "any target" trigger. Since the doll is indestructible, it can be done to itself over and over and over.

[@akeustis]

40:14 Unplayable but I like the design space. I want a cantrip with "counter target spell that targets one of your spells". Counterspell hate!

[@maxtyler8993]

Cumitive upkeep: draw a card, pay one mana would be so good on a card. Its a good card draw engine at first but the longer you keep it the worse and worse it ruins you, especially if somebody blows up your spellbook/reliquary tower

[@bestaround3323]

How does it hurt you?

[@maxtyler8993]

@@bestaround3323 with cumulative upkeep you pay more and more every turn, so after 4 turns, you pay 4 and draw 4, etc

[@random.3665]

@@bestaround3323 Because unless you have stuff like omniscience in play or already have an infinite mana combo going, the amount of spells you can play in a turn is limited. If you draw more and more cards each round, you will eventually no longer have enough mana to play the majority of spells you draw, reducing their relative power. And if you actually have to pay mana as part of the upkeep cost, then you will eventually pay the majority of all your mana per round just on the upkeep cost, which gives you only more cards in return (which you dont need, since you already have dozens of cards.) Or in short, having 8 cards in hand and 8 mana to play them is more useful than having 16 cards in hand, but zero mana to play them.

[@bestaround3323]

@@random.3665 You can just, not pay the upkeep after you have enough cards. It really isn't a downside. It also enables you to just run a whole bunch of low-cost spells. In a well-constructed deck having too many cards in hand really shouldn't be a problem.

[@dancing_odie]

the haste of Traitor's Sprint Bear is nearly useless but it can block Gingerbrute

[@ayties5113]

Conqueror's Vision: My first thought was, that a Brush Taunter loves it. He uses its ability to fight another creature, pings himself for an additional 1 and then gets to deal 3 extra damage. So he can technically kill creatures with toughness 4 or less with that extra 3 damage.

[@petersmythe6462]

Land is also named Land. I'm not sure if that means it can interact with card effects that refer to Land, but if so, it's gonna be so easy to combo with.

[@spulp_lord]

For the oath, tom bombadil makes you only have to pay 4 it once

[@petersmythe6462]

So to use that -8 ability, you need to discard 3 opponents...

[@Kono_D._Oda]

22:44 I guess anything that affects only nonland permanents wouldn't work on Land.

[@dioliksniper5618]

14:02 ones you didn’t even have the right mana for. UGH, land maintenance is sooo annoying this time of year 😭💫

Beld-to can reduce the cost of Ugin's Conjurant and Sorcerer's Broom since both are colorless spirits.

Balduvian Mystic would be nice in fast Legacy aggro decks. Pay 16 life to deal 8 dmg to finish the opponent off. Turn 1 Dark Ritual, Balduvian Mystic, pay 18, Death’s Shadow. 20 damage on turn 2.

[@Dom_Maretti]

Conquerer's Vision would go great with Stuffy Doll. Especially if you have a damage doubler enchant on the field (like Furnace of Rath). Without a doubler, that's 5 damage per turn to an opponent. With a doubler, you tap Stuffy doll, it deals 1 damage to itself, then 1 damage to itself, then you target it with the 3 damage...collectively (because of how redirection works with damage doublers), it deals 4 to an opponent (with it's own effect), then another 4 (with the first part of Conquerer's Vision), then 12 (with the second). That's 20 damage.

[@Voidspun-Yarns]

Y’know, if instead of saying Konza “phases out”, what if there was a keyword creatures could have where you can choose to tap them without attacking but in return the tapped creature can’t be targeted until your next turn. That could be interesting

[@3of6mylove]

I know nothing about mtg... what is zibers and what is dangers?

[@NikachuMTGLive]

Most Magic players don't know either. But these terms were created by the AI. It Dangers = Broken. Zibers = Cool, unique thought provoking card, or however you want to describe a card that speaks to you.
