[@jundachen9518]

Tidal from Swords is surprisingly decent, the +1 can create a 0/1 chump blocker that draws cards equal to the damage dealt to this creature, each turn.

[@davidsherlock5528]

Came here to say this, chump and draw a ton of cards isn't bad

[@jasonm2245]

Its an issue for most streamers I find. Since you need to divide your attention and all. But yeah he misinterprets cards frequently.

Sometimes I agree sometimes they just aren't worded the best. Even official cards sometimes I have to reread once or twice before I understand what a card does the first time.

22:42 sungersteat 1 is literally has the blitz definition but it has "Activate only as a sorcery" added at the end for no reason

Shitty boar was a nuts card. It is a super mana dork. It adds two mana base and gives more if an opponent has an artifact creature in play!

[@elmerthiendoesgames9061]

Keywal: For the last time, I'm _not_ Mount Vesuvius. I'm _working for the Vesuvmen._ Put that hammer away, Shane.

[@TheIhplodur]

Tidal from swords is bad, but its better than you think. The +1 taps a permanent. So you can tap a strong blocker and give the opponent a 0/1 blocker instead. Or you can tap a permanent you own to get that creature yourself, play Blasphemius act, choose to draw card equal to the damage the creature has taken, draw 13 cards.

[@glasscat477]

9:56 You can use any of the "You may have any number of cards named ____ in your deck." Think Dragons Approach, Shadowborn Apostle, Persistent Petitioners, Hare Apparent.

33:37 Ex'cuse of Tewerguid is pretty good with Scornful Egotist. Its an 8 mana 1/1. It get's bolstered into a 9/9 and it has a morph ability to get it onto the battlefield by turn 3. Turn one: Island, Sol Ring. Turn two: Plains, Morph Egotist for 3. Turn three: Plains, Flip the Egotist for one Blue, play Ex'cuse and there ya go.

[@chrismaples9392]

I like how you barely analysed the Tidal from Swords, since most of it's card text applies to option for when the token it summons Dies, not "+1 you can choose one of these"

[@nichodemus10]

Lost for polums could have been fixed and interesting if: it untapped each untap step, the owner could get any color while any player my get colorless but it can only be tapped for mana by a player during their turn.

[@TheJadeFist]

A bit of a custom card idea I got from that shared land concept. It makes it better than most non basics by giving 2 colorless or 1 of any color without coming into play tapped, but with the downside of having to share it. [Neutral Ground] Land T: 2 T: One mana of any color At the beginning of each players upkeep they gain control of Neutral Ground and untap it.

[@TheIhplodur]

Inexorable Lyver. Turn one you can cast three cards that cost 1 colorless if you have a forrest in play.

[@crawdaddy1234]

2:35 I think Lost for Polums would be pretty interesting if it untapped every turn, but it could only be activated by the player whose turn it was.

[@ZNEO3NZ]

Lost for polems could be used with one of the creatures that don't allow opponents to play spells or activate abilities on your turn, then you just have to tap it on your turn every turn or risk your opponents getting free mana from you, but an untapped wubrg land is pretty good.

[@Salvanim]

1:19:07 losing its ability’s is part of its ability, so dose it regain it’s ability and then lose it all over again and just repeats?

[@williamdrum9899]

No. There's a system in the game called "layers" which prevents this. Unfortunately the same system is responsible for a bunch of other nonsense.

[@dancing_odie]

13:49 there is a card in yugioh that flips players decks over and they play with the top card revealed and basically fro the bottom up. I imagine that canopy polsers does the same thing

[@Ferginka]

56:45 There is a card named Cultural Exchange... you swap control of any number of creatures between 2 players so Death mage will then blow most of their creatures since you own them, but still you better win bcs you will have no lands. Perfect card for me 😊

[@lemurpotatoes7988]

Ownership isn't control.

[@whaleofdarkness]

Use Thieves' auction and only take opponents cards. That way you still have lands.

[@emorsi]

Canopy Polsers ... you flip target players library... lol. I had to laugh hard at this one. Imagine being angry in a tournament because your opp is too far ahead on the board and taunting you with a "winner"-smile already. Then you play Canopy Polsers, grap your opps library and flip the whole deck around. Lol... that card would turn a tournament into a mass brawl real fast... and with all the cards lying around everywhere.

[@Solrex_the_Sun_King]

55:50 for the thumbnail card

[@kairotox]

Cool thing about that battle, is that in a 4 person group, the person whose side it's on can let the other players attack it for free to get rid of the dang thing, although, it's likely getting procced the turn it's played along with a rat

[@briansneary7535]

"Form of" spells with underdark spider. Hoxor: when this creature deals combat damage to a player you may cast "sleight of mind" or "magical hack". White has trampling elephants.

[@barelyaliving1473]

10:10 in commander, if it's ONLY for commander, and you can't play relentless rats type decks. If you play cards that exile the top card of opponents library and let you cast them, then you can potentially get the effect off.

[@matttheman3923]

Maybe shadowborn apostle possibly?

[@dancing_odie]

28:21 we've seen fire breathing. We've even seen forest breathing. But now we have water breathing.

[@Robin93k]

Well, it's certainly more logical than the 2nd ..

[@_Vengeance_]

I must say I like the design of Balduvian Samurai. It's basically a 2-color hybrid card, but if you choose to pay black instead of green you must pay 1 extra colorless (in other words, you use the Adventure to filter black + anything else for green, then use that green + 5 more of anything to cast Balduvian Samurai)

[@jasona1000]

35:30 Tewerguid = Tergrid in uwu language.

[@whaleofdarkness]

Tergrid will never be uwu as much as you try it ;).

[@burnsida]

For Frostpeaker, if you were to put into play somehow a zombie that is tapped and attacking, you can give it haste so that when you untap and give yourself another combat phase, it can attack again. And as a comparison to 1 mana creatures in commander, Serra's Ascendant is a 6/6 flying lifelink that isnt broken.

[@tmon3y777]

Death Mage is the ultimate tech card against an entire cube playing nothing but spells that steal permanents from you.

[@nailahprincessofhokuto2024]

1:18:38 Since it loses all abilities does that make it a Vanilla 5/6?

[@williamdrum9899]

I don't know, I'd have to read the rules again about layers.

[@SeanMirrsen]

People who don't know about layers think it's a 5/6, because it loses all abilities. People who know about layers think it's a 4/4, because P/T change is a lower level than ability loss, and only the first P/T change takes effect. People who really know about layers know it's a 7/7, because abilities don't change layers mid-resolving, so all P/T changes happen first, and only then ability loss.

How about a new tournament style where players all start as planeswalkers with no loyalty abilities and your life is your loyalty. Then as you win games in the tournament, you can gain points which are used to buy loyalty abilities from a pool that everyone in the tournament can pick from. This tournament style can make players build themselves and the decks they use. Each player gets two deck and three lives. You only get knocked out of the tournament when you have no more lives. You gain a life on a win and lose a life on a loss. Players keep getting randomly shuffled until only one person has all the lives and nobody else has any.

[@williamdrum9899]

That's kind of interesting. But I can see it being annoying if you lose just because your opponent has a loyalty ability that is strong against your deck

@@williamdrum9899 A proper model like ChatGPT can generate perfectly normal cards, as well as perfectly broken cards and cards with impossible mechanics. It's all text, it's just a matter of what you ask the AI to do. The MTGNN model is more of an AI-powered markov chain generator, it's specifically using existing card data, remixed and altered. It can and will generate perfectly normal-looking cards if it's made to, but those cards aren't as entertaining. The same is true for cards made with 'proper' AI models - sure they will be functional, possibly even original, but at that point they're little more than fancy custom cards. It's the whole thing where a set of fixed data fed into a well-trained gibberish generator somehow results in fun and unique-looking new things, carefully selected from among the trash, that's the appeal and primary entertainment factor in this.

It's because AI can't actually think. It's an algorithm that assembles words in the most probably correct order based on the information it's been fed. It doesn't understand why things go where they do, so it can't make the connection between flavour and mechanics.
