The Card I Like Best - Strixhaven

[@notme222]

Finally, members of the Magic community willing to step up and speak the truth about oysters.

[@superduper853]

i'm done watching magic content from people that are too cowardly to say these things about oysters

Oysters aren't as bad as crabs, though. Ban crabs!

Same, its a nice card, i can understand he likes it...if he do...its also fun. so...a bit? maybe? both?

Oysters have been around for hundreds of years. The card whose name I already forgot isn't even available for play yet.

But he HATES oysters he only likes the card. Not like he loves it. So makes sense to me. and his points are valid so worthy of the placement.

Part of this video is evergreen but it's timing suggest it's also meant as a response to all the content creators complaining about the early access event being cancelled. The joke about negative content would get old after a few times and a new set might get a better thematic joke.

I could literally listen to Remy's take on Oysters each episode and still think this is hands down the best MTG channel

[@lunarlight3131]

even card break downs from this man are excellent.

[@bechamel6413]

I just don't understand why this cracks me up so much. I've seen enough absurd humor in my lifetime, but maybe it's just because he's such a good actor? Like I could practically feel how weirdly insulted he felt by oysters, with a hint of "and I used to like those, I mean what was I thinking back then"?

[@joejackson4021]

I love oysters... but now that I’m thinking of them within context of magic I’m realizing how many boosters I could’ve bought.

[@sultancoltin7153]

I like blex vexing pest really just for the flavor text and art.

We've been distracted debating about Secret Lairs so much that we've ignored the real debate. Thanks Remy for showing us all the light.

[@antivalidisme5669]

I won't lie. As a French guy who was born by the Atlantic, I'm very selective in the field of oysters. Same thing with MTG videos, and I have to tell you, you freaking rock Remy. Plus I love owls; tawny owls, bran owls, you name it. Always take care man, you're a gem

[@Valiguss]

This should be a series, one for every single set

[@iregehr424]

I just built a Mavinda deck a few days ago!!! Love it.

[@spiderseatbaby3692]

My favourite card is the one with these mana symbols in the upper right corner of the card and the text in the textboxfield in the middle of the card that tells you what an amazing effect the card has when you play it. Fits right into my edh deck.

[@tjberrian]

Found you on the mtg subreddit. You’re hilarious! Subbed for more like this. Heck, “the card I like best this week” would be stellar.

Expressive iteration Cheap but specific 2 for 1 mascarading as a cantrip. Super appealing formatting, the way it uses the red version of card draw and the blue version together makes it feel thematic and neat. Just all around great.

I really like decisive denial because two mana modal card with a fight mechanic sounds pretty nifty

Haven't played MtG in years, and I'm always happy to see a new Remy video. Even when he's talking about a card from the latest set (which I'm not following) he still manages to make me laugh.

[@VladTepes44]

I love oysters. My parents live in a place in France renown for their oysters and I eat some as often as I can. But I can get behind you on the cost. My least favorite shellfish would be clams, but only because they are delicious but a bit bothersome to eat, especially in a hot dish like Squid Ink Pasta.

I hope this series NEVER stops.

[@karenkuhnle781]

Oh man, LOVE it!! so i am not an oyster fan, but in the grocery store over by the canned tuna, you can find cans of smoked oysters. those ones my hubby adores and gets a can as a snack once in awhile, but has also heated them up and tossed them into pasta and such, maybe give those a shot

[@BomberMan81]

@@CityofLight11 Random in how it relates to this video? I can see that. I guess it just occurred to me as I was watching this video that this is the kind of content that just makes me laugh and have a good time. It doesn't take itself so seriously which most of the other MTG content out there seems to do. Remy doesn't like the card because its going to change the meta or get him a ton of wins in his gaming group...He likes it because it has a friendly looking owl person on it. This is exactly the sort of thinking about MTG cards that got me to love this game when I was a kid and its great to be reminded of that.

@@BomberMan81 I can see that. There's this inescapable part of MTG brain that wants to optimise, but then paradoxically it can definitely kill the fun that created interest in the first place.

If we are counting the commander precons as well then Ruxa is easily my favorite. I have so many ideas already for fun brews that have him as commander or part of the 99. For the shellfish I like the least I would say it would have to be all of them. I just simply don't like any seafood whatsoever. Can't stomach any of it without gaging and usually throwing up.

Totally agree on oysters as least favorite shellfish. But I mean the competition is really fierce in that category. Shrimp and prawns are both great, but when you get scallops and blue mussels it's just an entirely different league! ... Anyway, congratulations on now being my 2nd favorite shellfish channel!

[@kieransurve8292]

Feather auto include

[@kennethbecker2206]

This seems like a good idea to consistently have content for your channel.

[@Joseph125]

This might be controversial, but the shellfish I like least is prawns (shrimps if you're American). They can be fine, but sometimes you get them served with their shell on and you have to tear their head off, pull of the legs, remove the shell and you're left with just a tiny morsel of meat and it just doesn't feel worth it. Especially if they're in a stew or something and you get your fingers extra dirty in the process. The card I like most is Professor Onyx, I want Liliana to step on me.

Remy all your content is great but I really enjoyed this. Its actual magic opinions with your brilliant humour thrown in for good measure. For what it's worth I like Valentin, Dean of the Vein the most. I think it's a sweet effect on a commander for a single mana.

[@qubingjianshen8210]

If we by shellfish include crustaceans then the one i like the least is the "Cymothoa exigua" or its english name, the "tongue-eating louse". In Strixhaven i realy like the Wandering Archaic, although with its ten limbs it might be part of the crab family, so ... the shellfish i like the most?

[@dylanvaltellina9367]

100% AGREE! A Mavinda costs LESS than an oyster and it also tastes WAY BETTER than the stupid mollusk. The quality-price ratio of Mavinda (similarly to the other Strixhaven's cards) makes of it one the tastiest cards I've ever tried, wings down.

[@tylervail9532]

The card I like best is strixhaven is Double Major. It has some great synergies with other cards since the copy it makes is not legendary. The shellfish I like least is crab. It's like bad lobster, and they look like ocean spiders.

I like that cards design. It has some real potential

[@JayLiquori]

i like this format. i want to hear more rants disguised as card reviews

[@Flumpor]

I absolutely love prawns, they fry super well and always remind me of a great vacation I had in Amsterdam after I had my burnout. The card I like least is Body of Reasearch as it weirdly encourages people to try and fling and ignition oneshot combo people out in EDH, despite one these things already being possible with like Lord of Extinction and other arbitrary strong creatures and two why start trying to combo now? I mean you people weren't interested in doing that before, why the sudden change?
