WEBVTT 1 00:00:25.892 --> 00:00:27.553 They obviously go over the new stuff in the game, 2 00:00:27.572 --> 00:00:31.673 but they also talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and what's going on in their life. 3 00:00:32.274 --> 00:00:32.735 It's a very, 4 00:00:32.872 --> 00:00:33.934 very fun podcast. 5 00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:35.856 They do a lot of interesting things with that show. 6 00:00:35.958 --> 00:00:37.278 So if you have not checked it out, 7 00:00:37.536 --> 00:00:38.333 you definitely should. 8 00:00:38.778 --> 00:00:38.997 Now, 9 00:00:39.294 --> 00:00:40.216 let's hop into it. 10 00:00:40.778 --> 00:00:42.591 This week is going to be pretty action-packed. 11 00:00:43.731 --> 00:00:45.419 It's been a very long week for me, 12 00:00:45.638 --> 00:00:51.075 so I have not been able to catch up with everything in the Snap universe. 13 00:00:51.138 --> 00:00:51.372 But 14 00:00:51.997 --> 00:00:54.278 I do have a bunch of new cars to talk about. 15 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.722 We'll obviously talk about the 16 00:00:57.363 --> 00:00:58.943 Series 5 card that released this week, 17 00:00:58.986 --> 00:00:59.787 the Ancient one. 18 00:00:59.826 --> 00:01:03.291 But we'll also be talking about the four Series 4 cards. 19 00:01:03.292 --> 00:01:05.713 I think that's the correct number. 20 00:01:06.650 --> 00:01:07.697 And from my understanding, 21 00:01:08.431 --> 00:01:10.900 two of these cards were not supposed to release when they did, 22 00:01:10.994 --> 00:01:11.838 but they kind of did, 23 00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:13.353 and they weren't able to roll it back. 24 00:01:13.416 --> 00:01:14.713 So yeah, 25 00:01:14.714 --> 00:01:15.994 we have a lot of those to talk about. 26 00:01:16.134 --> 00:01:16.775 And after, 27 00:01:16.822 --> 00:01:18.806 we'll talk about the Golden Gauntlet 2, 28 00:01:19.166 --> 00:01:21.041 a little bit of my experience playing in it, 29 00:01:21.166 --> 00:01:23.728 and then what ultimately the results were. 30 00:01:24.196 --> 00:01:24.376 Very, 31 00:01:24.436 --> 00:01:25.217 very good stuff. 32 00:01:25.358 --> 00:01:25.617 Okay, 33 00:01:26.198 --> 00:01:26.758 let's do it. 34 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:28.561 Starting off, 35 00:01:28.639 --> 00:01:30.483 we have the Ancient One. 36 00:01:31.244 --> 00:01:33.166 She is a 3-5 that says, 37 00:01:33.448 --> 00:01:33.963 on reveal, 38 00:01:34.369 --> 00:01:36.666 add Tau Mandala to your hand. 39 00:01:37.205 --> 00:01:37.705 And of course, 40 00:01:37.791 --> 00:01:39.393 Tau Mandala is a 41 00:01:39.752 --> 00:01:40.877 3-cost skill that says, 42 00:01:41.018 --> 00:01:41.518 on reveal, 43 00:01:41.830 --> 00:01:46.455 copy the text of one of your ongoing cards here onto your other characters here. 44 00:01:47.096 --> 00:01:47.221 So, 45 00:01:47.721 --> 00:01:48.752 in a weird way, 46 00:01:48.877 --> 00:01:53.002 you can sort of think of this like an alternative Moonstone. 47 00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:54.000 Um, 48 00:01:55.462 --> 00:01:55.902 it like, 49 00:01:56.402 --> 00:01:59.828 I think that the Ancient one fills a very similar role where it's like, 50 00:02:00.266 --> 00:02:03.711 instead of having Mystique where you just copy the last ongoing that you played, 51 00:02:03.773 --> 00:02:09.031 or you have Moonstone that's copying all of the low cost ongoing cards there, 52 00:02:09.797 --> 00:02:12.438 this one has the potential to be insane, 53 00:02:12.594 --> 00:02:14.984 which is why it's so clunky to play. 54 00:02:16.984 --> 00:02:18.812 As I say often with three cost cards, 55 00:02:18.844 --> 00:02:18.984 right, 56 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.812 the thing I like about them is that you can combo. 57 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:39.278 three cost cards with each other on turn six that's what makes them so powerful i think in the ancient ones case it's more of like you can definitely do that you can do some very nutty stuff it's just kind of hard to you know make it work without being disrupted or um 58 00:02:39.856 --> 00:02:45.996 sometimes you have the cards you want to copy but you don't have enough bodies and so like where does she fit best 59 00:02:47.184 --> 00:02:48.340 Right now on SnapFan, 60 00:02:48.481 --> 00:02:49.168 she's not doing... 61 00:02:49.608 --> 00:02:50.169 Amazing. 62 00:02:50.609 --> 00:02:51.931 She's running a 45% 63 00:02:52.271 --> 00:02:53.874 win rate when played, 64 00:02:54.292 --> 00:02:55.675 which is not what you like to see. 65 00:02:56.355 --> 00:02:56.534 But 66 00:02:57.538 --> 00:02:58.515 I say this sometimes, 67 00:02:58.616 --> 00:03:01.382 I think part of the strength of cards like this, 68 00:03:02.702 --> 00:03:04.984 it's the surprise factor. 69 00:03:05.546 --> 00:03:05.827 Like, 70 00:03:06.359 --> 00:03:13.093 her overwhelming power in combination with something like an Iron Man or like an Onslaught, 71 00:03:13.124 --> 00:03:13.405 you know, 72 00:03:14.234 --> 00:03:18.484 those big cards that get copied by this feel like 73 00:03:18.712 --> 00:03:34.092 the sort of slam dunk that she can do um but i mean when i saw this i was hoping that patriot would be a good home for her right because you have things like squirrels and mysterio and other stuff like that that might 74 00:03:34.093 --> 00:03:46.483 be able to be comboed off of that tau mandala um when you copy it with patriot the only downside is when you do that obviously patriot isn't buffing those tokens anymore. 75 00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:52.445 So you're kind of throwing that lane in order to make it better for the other targets. 76 00:03:52.945 --> 00:03:54.429 And so it's a little tricky sometimes. 77 00:03:54.448 --> 00:03:54.886 It's like, 78 00:03:55.409 --> 00:03:59.995 where's the balance in how combo heavy you want to be in that deck? 79 00:04:00.011 --> 00:04:00.409 And again, 80 00:04:00.792 --> 00:04:02.613 when you have options like Moonstone, 81 00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:08.269 it's like her thing is very complicated for an effect that is good. 82 00:04:08.566 --> 00:04:08.675 But, 83 00:04:09.378 --> 00:04:09.644 you know, 84 00:04:09.988 --> 00:04:10.925 there's just a lot of setup. 85 00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:14.144 It's a lot of setup for something that I think can be replaced. 86 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.675 So for me right now. 87 00:04:16.256 --> 00:04:21.179 I'm giving the Ancient one a solid 2 out of 5, 88 00:04:21.222 --> 00:04:23.965 maybe 3 out of 5 if I'm feeling generous. 89 00:04:24.406 --> 00:04:24.562 Like, 90 00:04:24.586 --> 00:04:25.523 I see the potential, 91 00:04:25.547 --> 00:04:26.804 there are things you can do with this card, 92 00:04:26.867 --> 00:04:28.367 I just don't think that it's landing right. 93 00:04:28.648 --> 00:04:31.750 I was also kind of hoping that Victoria Hand would be the right place for her, 94 00:04:31.812 --> 00:04:33.187 but I'm not feeling that either. 95 00:04:34.078 --> 00:04:34.515 I don't know. 96 00:04:34.922 --> 00:04:35.312 I don't know. 97 00:04:35.515 --> 00:04:36.875 Not my favorite card to come out. 98 00:04:37.422 --> 00:04:39.140 I was kind of hoping for a little more, 99 00:04:39.265 --> 00:04:40.062 but who knows? 100 00:04:40.359 --> 00:04:44.562 Cards like this can always get better with new cards coming out. 101 00:04:45.250 --> 00:04:45.844 We've seen that. 102 00:04:46.016 --> 00:04:47.658 with cards like Scarlet Spider, 103 00:04:47.698 --> 00:04:49.079 who was dunked on for a while, 104 00:04:50.202 --> 00:04:52.584 but who has made his way into a lot of lists. 105 00:04:52.741 --> 00:05:00.592 I think the Ancient One could possibly fill that sort of role where the decks that she wants to play in are trying to do something unfair. 106 00:05:00.991 --> 00:05:01.108 So, 107 00:05:01.491 --> 00:05:01.655 yeah. 108 00:05:03.031 --> 00:05:03.811 That's my thoughts on her. 109 00:05:05.034 --> 00:05:06.752 Next up is Jennifer Kale, 110 00:05:07.073 --> 00:05:08.838 who is a 2-2 that says activate. 111 00:05:08.975 --> 00:05:09.499 Next turn, 112 00:05:09.635 --> 00:05:10.557 you get plus one energy. 113 00:05:11.698 --> 00:05:12.581 This is Psylocke, 114 00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:13.581 but an activate card. 115 00:05:13.838 --> 00:05:14.745 And it's that simple. 116 00:05:15.643 --> 00:05:18.799 I think there is a little bit more nuance in this, 117 00:05:18.893 --> 00:05:19.143 right? 118 00:05:19.206 --> 00:05:21.721 You're not using Jennifer Kale to play four costs, 119 00:05:21.893 --> 00:05:23.456 which Psylocke allows you to do, 120 00:05:23.768 --> 00:05:23.924 right? 121 00:05:23.925 --> 00:05:24.659 If you get her on two. 122 00:05:27.909 --> 00:05:28.502 What Jennifer 123 00:05:28.893 --> 00:05:29.752 Kale does, 124 00:05:29.815 --> 00:05:30.643 Jennifer Kaler. 125 00:05:31.330 --> 00:05:32.170 Jennifer Kael, 126 00:05:33.350 --> 00:05:42.729 what she does is she allows you to activate on turn four or on turn three in order to get a five or six cost card. 127 00:05:43.494 --> 00:05:46.096 So in strategies that want to ramp, 128 00:05:47.072 --> 00:05:48.088 this is helpful, 129 00:05:48.229 --> 00:05:48.432 right? 130 00:05:48.433 --> 00:05:55.151 It's like a way to get the electro effect without having to deal with the huge downside. 131 00:05:55.713 --> 00:05:56.494 The big difference, 132 00:05:56.541 --> 00:05:56.776 though, 133 00:05:56.932 --> 00:05:59.963 is you kind of have to get Jennifer Kael down. 134 00:06:00.466 --> 00:06:27.194 by turn three in order for her to be effective in that role right if you play her on turn four then you will get an extra energy um on turn six but it's like yeah that's not very helpful right like you need to get her down earlier because it's an activate and then after the activate that's next turn it's two turns of setup in order to get that ramp and 135 00:06:27.428 --> 00:06:27.850 she you know 136 00:06:28.402 --> 00:06:29.123 For that reason, 137 00:06:29.203 --> 00:06:30.724 I'm kind of surprised she's a 2-2. 138 00:06:31.726 --> 00:06:31.966 Like, 139 00:06:32.407 --> 00:06:33.447 her effect is powerful, 140 00:06:33.529 --> 00:06:35.868 so I understand that they want to be careful with it, 141 00:06:35.869 --> 00:06:35.990 but, 142 00:06:36.048 --> 00:06:36.310 like, 143 00:06:37.193 --> 00:06:40.833 it's a lot of work to put her into your deck. 144 00:06:40.896 --> 00:06:42.138 You're taking a big power hit. 145 00:06:42.575 --> 00:06:44.200 You need to be able to play her earlier. 146 00:06:44.294 --> 00:06:45.724 If you don't draw her on time, 147 00:06:45.755 --> 00:06:46.943 she's kind of bad. 148 00:06:47.302 --> 00:06:48.583 And then when you do play her, 149 00:06:48.615 --> 00:06:49.036 it's like, 150 00:06:50.005 --> 00:06:53.771 isn't Luna just kind of better in most instances? 151 00:06:54.021 --> 00:06:54.333 Like... 152 00:06:54.658 --> 00:06:55.840 You're getting a 3-6 body, 153 00:06:55.939 --> 00:06:56.359 and yeah, 154 00:06:56.460 --> 00:06:57.861 you're kind of helping your opponent, 155 00:06:57.922 --> 00:07:03.289 but I think the stuff you're doing in your deck is always supposed to take more advantage of that energy, 156 00:07:03.867 --> 00:07:04.109 right? 157 00:07:04.164 --> 00:07:04.289 So, 158 00:07:04.672 --> 00:07:05.047 I don't know. 159 00:07:05.390 --> 00:07:06.492 I don't know how I feel about her. 160 00:07:06.726 --> 00:07:08.695 I'm landing more like a 3 out of 5. 161 00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:08.890 Like, 162 00:07:08.914 --> 00:07:09.695 I think she's fine. 163 00:07:10.211 --> 00:07:12.062 If I had to rate Psylocke right now, 164 00:07:12.281 --> 00:07:14.015 I think I'd rate it something similar. 165 00:07:15.531 --> 00:07:16.047 It's alright. 166 00:07:17.015 --> 00:07:19.640 I will say I do love her in the comics. 167 00:07:20.047 --> 00:07:20.984 If you guys don't know, 168 00:07:21.890 --> 00:07:24.062 she was revealed to be related to... 169 00:07:24.462 --> 00:07:25.283 Johnny Blaze, 170 00:07:26.023 --> 00:07:27.365 which is rad as hell. 171 00:07:28.125 --> 00:07:28.867 He's Ghost Rider, 172 00:07:29.086 --> 00:07:29.988 if you're not aware. 173 00:07:31.550 --> 00:07:32.410 But yeah, 174 00:07:32.933 --> 00:07:34.808 as a character I like her as a 175 00:07:35.394 --> 00:07:36.254 Marvel snap card, 176 00:07:36.972 --> 00:07:37.996 I'm a little more middling. 177 00:07:38.754 --> 00:07:38.996 Okay, 178 00:07:39.113 --> 00:07:41.324 next up is Nicholas Scratch. 179 00:07:41.824 --> 00:07:43.339 He is a 1-2 that says, 180 00:07:43.543 --> 00:07:44.808 after you play a skill, 181 00:07:45.261 --> 00:07:46.199 plus one power. 182 00:07:46.808 --> 00:07:46.918 So 183 00:07:47.964 --> 00:07:51.433 I saw a lot of discourse on this card being fairly negative about him. 184 00:07:52.949 --> 00:07:53.777 And I think... 185 00:07:54.382 --> 00:07:55.583 When you look at, 186 00:07:55.663 --> 00:07:56.003 like, 187 00:07:56.324 --> 00:07:58.425 how much effort you're putting in for the power, 188 00:07:59.046 --> 00:07:59.245 yeah, 189 00:08:00.429 --> 00:08:00.648 like, 190 00:08:00.749 --> 00:08:00.909 yeah, 191 00:08:01.050 --> 00:08:02.292 it's not the most amazing thing, 192 00:08:02.347 --> 00:08:03.730 but as a reminder, 193 00:08:04.113 --> 00:08:04.316 right, 194 00:08:04.433 --> 00:08:07.175 Hydrabob is still an amazing card. 195 00:08:07.558 --> 00:08:11.972 It is just a 1-4 that can give you some flexibility in locations, 196 00:08:12.034 --> 00:08:12.238 right? 197 00:08:13.722 --> 00:08:16.128 If you play two skills with Nicholas Scratch, 198 00:08:16.706 --> 00:08:17.597 he is a 1-4. 199 00:08:18.191 --> 00:08:18.331 Like, 200 00:08:18.332 --> 00:08:18.581 that's... 201 00:08:19.154 --> 00:08:20.035 That's kind of the goal, 202 00:08:20.115 --> 00:08:20.275 right? 203 00:08:20.276 --> 00:08:21.597 If you can get him to 1-5, 204 00:08:21.598 --> 00:08:24.761 you're already at a premium stat line for a 1-cost card. 205 00:08:25.101 --> 00:08:26.120 And if you get him to a 6, 206 00:08:27.101 --> 00:08:27.741 you're really, 207 00:08:27.820 --> 00:08:28.460 really cooking. 208 00:08:29.406 --> 00:08:38.507 I think the criticism with this card comes from the fact that we just don't have enough cards that generate skills to really make the best use out of him. 209 00:08:39.257 --> 00:08:43.101 The best card synergy with him by far is Merlin because you get so many 210 00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:44.179 1-cost skills. 211 00:08:44.757 --> 00:08:47.898 but it's like you know as a combo 212 00:08:48.718 --> 00:08:49.639 Is that worth it? 213 00:08:50.060 --> 00:08:50.220 Like, 214 00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:52.462 Merlin by himself already does enough, 215 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:53.761 and having this card, 216 00:08:53.785 --> 00:08:53.964 like, 217 00:08:54.003 --> 00:08:56.105 tied to that is a little weird, 218 00:08:56.124 --> 00:08:56.683 and also, 219 00:08:57.410 --> 00:08:59.027 since this isn't an ongoing card, 220 00:08:59.028 --> 00:09:03.175 you have to have this card down on the board before you start getting those spells, 221 00:09:03.230 --> 00:09:03.355 so, 222 00:09:04.394 --> 00:09:04.535 yeah, 223 00:09:04.933 --> 00:09:05.308 I don't know. 224 00:09:06.777 --> 00:09:08.120 I think he's just fine. 225 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.449 I feel similarly to him as I do with Jennifer Kale, 226 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:12.964 where it's like, 227 00:09:13.339 --> 00:09:13.839 I feel like... 228 00:09:14.246 --> 00:09:15.566 The card is perfectly playable. 229 00:09:15.666 --> 00:09:17.228 I think it can fit in a couple of spots. 230 00:09:17.267 --> 00:09:18.126 I just don't think that it's, 231 00:09:18.146 --> 00:09:18.325 like, 232 00:09:18.806 --> 00:09:20.028 gonna blow open the meta. 233 00:09:20.927 --> 00:09:22.329 I think it's a fairly standard, 234 00:09:22.392 --> 00:09:22.548 like, 235 00:09:23.048 --> 00:09:27.228 this feels like a card that would release at the beginning of the game. 236 00:09:27.407 --> 00:09:27.548 Like, 237 00:09:27.549 --> 00:09:30.735 you would get it as a starter card if skills had existed back then. 238 00:09:31.048 --> 00:09:33.204 It just feels like a natural fit, 239 00:09:33.345 --> 00:09:33.610 right? 240 00:09:33.688 --> 00:09:33.813 So, 241 00:09:34.845 --> 00:09:37.454 I think that this card could get scary later on, 242 00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:38.235 depending if you get, 243 00:09:38.298 --> 00:09:38.485 like, 244 00:09:38.657 --> 00:09:39.829 full-on skill decks. 245 00:09:40.438 --> 00:09:43.095 it sort of reminds me in Hearthstone how you had like 246 00:09:43.534 --> 00:09:54.702 all spell decks from the mage where you wouldn't really play minions you would just use spells to get minions on the board um i can imagine maybe later on 247 00:09:55.298 --> 00:09:56.439 In Snap's history, 248 00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:57.320 that becomes a thing, 249 00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:00.822 in which case this will be a stable one drop in that deck. 250 00:10:01.924 --> 00:10:03.603 But right now it's just OK. 251 00:10:04.064 --> 00:10:04.244 Like, 252 00:10:04.283 --> 00:10:04.767 it's fine. 253 00:10:05.291 --> 00:10:08.869 It gets to a good number for a one drop. 254 00:10:09.275 --> 00:10:11.689 And I think that that by itself is pretty valuable. 255 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.674 So if you're running Merlin, 256 00:10:13.174 --> 00:10:14.658 you could probably run Nicholas Scratch. 257 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.783 That's probably fine. 258 00:10:16.502 --> 00:10:19.064 I would argue if you want to get the most value out of him, 259 00:10:19.065 --> 00:10:24.283 you probably have to run Merlin and Agamotto in order to make like a number that is big. 260 00:10:24.834 --> 00:10:25.054 Okay, 261 00:10:25.134 --> 00:10:26.174 next up is Mercury, 262 00:10:26.335 --> 00:10:28.135 who was not supposed to release when she did, 263 00:10:28.776 --> 00:10:31.315 but she is a 2-2 that says you can move this once, 264 00:10:31.534 --> 00:10:32.116 ongoing, 265 00:10:32.296 --> 00:10:33.694 enemy cards here can't move. 266 00:10:34.256 --> 00:10:34.436 Okay, 267 00:10:34.475 --> 00:10:34.592 so, 268 00:10:35.077 --> 00:10:37.038 I was not the only person who saw this and went, 269 00:10:37.475 --> 00:10:37.694 wait, 270 00:10:37.819 --> 00:10:38.139 guys, 271 00:10:38.921 --> 00:10:40.319 this is Professor X Cannonball, 272 00:10:40.358 --> 00:10:40.561 right? 273 00:10:40.991 --> 00:10:41.256 Right? 274 00:10:41.678 --> 00:10:42.131 Developers, 275 00:10:42.163 --> 00:10:43.131 you know that that's a thing? 276 00:10:44.053 --> 00:10:46.163 They either knew it was a thing and didn't care, 277 00:10:46.319 --> 00:10:47.803 or maybe it was an oversight, 278 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:48.506 I don't know. 279 00:10:49.038 --> 00:10:50.335 It's a very unfun combo, 280 00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:50.741 okay? 281 00:10:51.241 --> 00:10:52.241 This card is cool. 282 00:10:52.553 --> 00:10:53.663 I like that it's like... 283 00:10:54.302 --> 00:11:22.864 an answer to move not that you know that's been super super needed but it is an answer to move and she is like a jeff with her own conditions and it's interesting and i feel like it's one of those cards you can throw into your deck as a tech card and not be super mad about it and those are the kind of tech cards that i like cards like red guardian right where it's like the worst that he can be as a three five and you're okay playing a three five in your deck uh if you don't get that like critical hit on your 284 00:11:23.318 --> 00:11:23.438 uh, 285 00:11:23.538 --> 00:11:24.280 opponent's card, 286 00:11:24.619 --> 00:11:26.922 I think Mercury works in a similar way where it's like, 287 00:11:27.362 --> 00:11:29.225 the fact that she can move, 288 00:11:30.006 --> 00:11:30.405 it makes her, 289 00:11:30.424 --> 00:11:30.565 like, 290 00:11:30.584 --> 00:11:31.865 a little worse than Jeff, 291 00:11:32.506 --> 00:11:32.647 uh, 292 00:11:32.670 --> 00:11:32.826 right, 293 00:11:32.850 --> 00:11:33.467 as a 2-2, 294 00:11:33.686 --> 00:11:34.272 but that, 295 00:11:34.592 --> 00:11:38.451 that enemy cards here can't move thing might be valuable on certain locations, 296 00:11:38.530 --> 00:11:38.756 like, 297 00:11:39.256 --> 00:11:39.381 uh, 298 00:11:39.428 --> 00:11:40.959 Strange Academy or whatever. 299 00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:42.303 The, 300 00:11:42.304 --> 00:11:44.553 the combo with Cannonball is just nutty. 301 00:11:44.912 --> 00:11:46.959 It is just so difficult to play around, 302 00:11:47.522 --> 00:11:50.569 and since you play her earlier down in the game and then play Cannonball after, 303 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:51.022 it's like, 304 00:11:51.946 --> 00:11:52.146 Yeah, 305 00:11:52.166 --> 00:11:53.108 it's tough to avoid. 306 00:11:53.188 --> 00:11:59.211 It's made a bunch of these decks come back that I feel are not super fun to play against. 307 00:11:59.332 --> 00:11:59.938 I will say, 308 00:12:00.235 --> 00:12:01.836 with the deck that I've been playing recently, 309 00:12:02.078 --> 00:12:06.821 I have been able to make it work just because the deck uses 310 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.219 Victoria Hand, 311 00:12:08.844 --> 00:12:09.078 right? 312 00:12:09.157 --> 00:12:14.203 So even if my Devil Dino gets blown up by the Mercury Cannonball combo, 313 00:12:14.328 --> 00:12:16.407 there's still Sentinels there that are getting pumped up. 314 00:12:16.985 --> 00:12:17.688 That kind of thing. 315 00:12:18.002 --> 00:12:18.122 Like, 316 00:12:18.123 --> 00:12:19.362 there's ways to play around it. 317 00:12:19.422 --> 00:12:20.062 It's just, 318 00:12:20.243 --> 00:12:21.603 it's a crazy good combo. 319 00:12:22.185 --> 00:12:23.923 Makes me feel bad for Professor X, 320 00:12:23.942 --> 00:12:26.782 because you had to put in a lot of work to make that combo happen, 321 00:12:26.821 --> 00:12:28.282 and this is just a two-card combo. 322 00:12:28.907 --> 00:12:29.024 So, 323 00:12:29.548 --> 00:12:31.243 that interaction kind of stinks. 324 00:12:31.423 --> 00:12:35.368 I wish that wasn't what she was just going to be tied to for the rest of her life, 325 00:12:35.431 --> 00:12:37.134 but as a standalone card, 326 00:12:37.353 --> 00:12:38.306 I do like her design. 327 00:12:38.321 --> 00:12:39.228 I think she's very cool. 328 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.071 I'd say a 4 out of 5 for Mercury, 329 00:12:41.493 --> 00:12:41.931 honestly. 330 00:12:42.321 --> 00:12:42.446 Like, 331 00:12:42.462 --> 00:12:45.134 she doesn't feel broken in what she does, 332 00:12:45.212 --> 00:12:46.993 but she just feels solid all around. 333 00:12:47.181 --> 00:12:47.446 I would 334 00:12:47.814 --> 00:12:49.594 I would highly recommend you get this card. 335 00:12:50.515 --> 00:12:52.836 I think that she's a really cool inclusion into the game. 336 00:12:53.277 --> 00:12:53.574 Okay, 337 00:12:53.734 --> 00:12:56.718 last of the cards to talk about is Hellion, 338 00:12:56.796 --> 00:12:58.539 who is a 5-8 that says, 339 00:12:58.953 --> 00:12:59.437 on reveal, 340 00:13:00.078 --> 00:13:00.679 next turn, 341 00:13:00.734 --> 00:13:02.695 you can move cards to this location. 342 00:13:03.414 --> 00:13:05.000 So a lot of people read this and they're like, 343 00:13:05.640 --> 00:13:06.671 isn't it just Cloak? 344 00:13:07.718 --> 00:13:08.453 And the answer is no, 345 00:13:08.656 --> 00:13:09.359 it's not Cloak. 346 00:13:10.078 --> 00:13:15.046 The reason Cloak is not always included in decks is because it's symmetrical. 347 00:13:15.578 --> 00:13:17.015 You're getting a 2-4 body out of it. 348 00:13:17.538 --> 00:13:18.758 And the effect is very good, 349 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:20.798 so they have to balance it, 350 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:21.160 right? 351 00:13:22.199 --> 00:13:24.878 Hellion is a good body at a 5-8, 352 00:13:25.421 --> 00:13:26.718 and his effect is strong. 353 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:28.382 I don't know, 354 00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:28.757 man. 355 00:13:29.281 --> 00:13:29.757 I'm like, 356 00:13:30.343 --> 00:13:31.218 I'm looking at this, 357 00:13:31.343 --> 00:13:32.359 and I'm looking at vision, 358 00:13:32.484 --> 00:13:33.000 and I'm like, 359 00:13:33.359 --> 00:13:34.226 they do different things, 360 00:13:34.304 --> 00:13:34.679 obviously. 361 00:13:34.757 --> 00:13:37.945 But they feel sort of the same in the way that they mind game your opponent. 362 00:13:38.585 --> 00:13:38.804 Like, 363 00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:42.242 if you're just playing a regular old tech deck, 364 00:13:42.757 --> 00:13:44.726 and you have things on the board, 365 00:13:45.257 --> 00:13:45.445 um... 366 00:13:46.098 --> 00:13:49.542 You can use Hellion to just shift your power to win a lane. 367 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:50.284 Like, 368 00:13:50.323 --> 00:13:50.683 I don't even, 369 00:13:50.983 --> 00:13:51.163 like, 370 00:13:51.362 --> 00:13:52.105 in a move deck, 371 00:13:52.144 --> 00:13:53.124 I'm sure this is fine, 372 00:13:53.585 --> 00:13:53.765 right? 373 00:13:53.808 --> 00:13:55.206 It's probably fairly good. 374 00:13:55.526 --> 00:13:55.690 Like, 375 00:13:55.691 --> 00:13:56.065 you can do 376 00:13:56.550 --> 00:13:58.612 Hellion, move all the things to the right, 377 00:13:58.987 --> 00:14:01.292 then Heimdall to move all the things on the left. 378 00:14:01.472 --> 00:14:01.612 Like, 379 00:14:01.613 --> 00:14:02.800 I'm sure that's a fine combo. 380 00:14:03.534 --> 00:14:04.253 But I'm just thinking, 381 00:14:04.300 --> 00:14:04.519 like, 382 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.472 on a broader spectrum, 383 00:14:06.831 --> 00:14:14.909 this card could introduce a lot of decks that really make it difficult to predict where power is going to be on the board. 384 00:14:15.606 --> 00:14:15.906 Um, 385 00:14:16.868 --> 00:14:17.868 I definitely have to, 386 00:14:17.969 --> 00:14:18.169 like, 387 00:14:18.770 --> 00:14:20.391 I don't like playing against this card, 388 00:14:20.469 --> 00:14:21.774 but playing with the card, 389 00:14:21.833 --> 00:14:22.294 it's like, 390 00:14:22.653 --> 00:14:23.751 it feels pretty good. 391 00:14:23.891 --> 00:14:24.016 So 392 00:14:24.774 --> 00:14:25.274 I don't know. 393 00:14:26.196 --> 00:14:26.493 Um, 394 00:14:26.696 --> 00:14:28.055 I'm going to save for right now. 395 00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:30.024 I'm going to give him a four out of five. 396 00:14:30.258 --> 00:14:32.118 I feel similar to Mercury where it's like, 397 00:14:32.555 --> 00:14:36.290 I feel like this is a good inclusion in a lot of decks and it's a solid body. 398 00:14:36.571 --> 00:14:36.805 You know, 399 00:14:36.806 --> 00:14:39.852 it does something that can surprise people. 400 00:14:40.008 --> 00:14:40.290 Like, 401 00:14:40.868 --> 00:14:42.071 I think that's pretty great. 402 00:14:42.337 --> 00:14:42.618 Um, 403 00:14:42.790 --> 00:14:43.227 so yeah, 404 00:14:43.446 --> 00:14:43.680 that's, 405 00:14:43.758 --> 00:14:44.680 that's where I'm at with Hylian. 406 00:14:45.218 --> 00:14:45.478 Okay, 407 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.821 with all of the new cards out of the way, 408 00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:52.864 we can talk a little bit about the Golden Gauntlet 2 before the end of the pod. 409 00:14:53.668 --> 00:14:56.270 So this was held over two days this time, 410 00:14:56.848 --> 00:14:59.692 and the sign-up process was done in a completely different way, 411 00:15:00.035 --> 00:15:01.489 exclusively through Discord. 412 00:15:01.973 --> 00:15:02.301 And man, 413 00:15:02.302 --> 00:15:02.598 oh man, 414 00:15:02.692 --> 00:15:03.629 being in that Discord, 415 00:15:03.676 --> 00:15:04.176 by the way, 416 00:15:04.770 --> 00:15:06.254 as people were coming in, 417 00:15:06.817 --> 00:15:07.114 like, 418 00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:09.629 I would just implore people, 419 00:15:10.567 --> 00:15:14.629 read the rules to the server before you get in there. 420 00:15:15.114 --> 00:15:15.555 I like, 421 00:15:16.155 --> 00:15:18.558 there were so many questions that were being asked and like, 422 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:23.743 there were so many people who didn't make it past the first signup page because they just didn't read. 423 00:15:24.243 --> 00:15:25.306 They went into the server, 424 00:15:25.641 --> 00:15:27.345 they saw a body of text and they're like, 425 00:15:27.665 --> 00:15:27.790 eh, 426 00:15:28.048 --> 00:15:29.165 I'm probably in right? 427 00:15:29.806 --> 00:15:29.931 No. 428 00:15:30.532 --> 00:15:30.649 Uh, 429 00:15:30.650 --> 00:15:34.485 there were instructions on that big block of text that told you how to sign up, 430 00:15:34.829 --> 00:15:36.235 how to get into the channels, 431 00:15:36.298 --> 00:15:37.188 how to do everything. 432 00:15:37.251 --> 00:15:39.501 So that was a wild ride. 433 00:15:39.673 --> 00:15:39.813 Uh, 434 00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:41.485 but besides that, 435 00:15:41.802 --> 00:15:41.922 Uh, 436 00:15:42.242 --> 00:15:43.923 the server was a lot of fun to be in, 437 00:15:43.982 --> 00:15:45.222 just to chill and chat about. 438 00:15:45.583 --> 00:15:45.702 Uh, 439 00:15:45.703 --> 00:15:46.142 I think they're, 440 00:15:46.704 --> 00:15:48.544 the server's still up as of this recording, 441 00:15:48.603 --> 00:15:50.404 but they are going to take it down, 442 00:15:50.864 --> 00:15:51.122 um, 443 00:15:51.505 --> 00:15:52.247 at some point. 444 00:15:52.302 --> 00:15:52.427 So, 445 00:15:52.943 --> 00:15:53.427 unfortunately, 446 00:15:53.505 --> 00:15:56.443 all those beautiful messages will not be archived, 447 00:15:56.661 --> 00:15:57.005 uh, 448 00:15:57.006 --> 00:15:57.724 rest in peace. 449 00:15:58.364 --> 00:15:58.521 But, 450 00:15:58.630 --> 00:15:58.739 uh, 451 00:15:58.740 --> 00:15:59.380 but yeah, 452 00:15:59.381 --> 00:16:01.661 it was a great sign-on process. 453 00:16:02.193 --> 00:16:03.583 I did actually get in, 454 00:16:03.646 --> 00:16:04.521 which was super cool. 455 00:16:04.568 --> 00:16:06.661 I think there was almost 800 players in this one, 456 00:16:06.708 --> 00:16:07.724 in comparison to, 457 00:16:07.725 --> 00:16:08.630 uh, 458 00:16:08.646 --> 00:16:09.349 half that many, 459 00:16:09.771 --> 00:16:09.927 uh, 460 00:16:09.943 --> 00:16:10.521 last time. 461 00:16:11.130 --> 00:16:11.751 Just about. 462 00:16:12.211 --> 00:16:14.054 So it was chaotic, 463 00:16:14.273 --> 00:16:15.132 but it was a lot of fun. 464 00:16:16.234 --> 00:16:18.820 I went four and three in the tournament. 465 00:16:19.476 --> 00:16:20.523 And just like last time, 466 00:16:20.524 --> 00:16:21.679 it was open deck list. 467 00:16:21.757 --> 00:16:24.163 So your opponent knew what you were playing. 468 00:16:24.702 --> 00:16:27.859 And I expected to see a lot of Thanos. 469 00:16:28.624 --> 00:16:29.109 Thankfully, 470 00:16:29.234 --> 00:16:30.406 I didn't see all that much. 471 00:16:30.407 --> 00:16:33.531 And I think the new card sort of spurred into that. 472 00:16:33.890 --> 00:16:34.671 But yeah, 473 00:16:34.859 --> 00:16:38.109 I went positive in order to make it to the second day, 474 00:16:38.577 --> 00:16:39.984 uh the second bracket 475 00:16:40.174 --> 00:16:42.957 I needed to get five and two at a minimum, 476 00:16:43.418 --> 00:16:44.680 five wins and two losses, 477 00:16:44.778 --> 00:16:46.660 but I just couldn't make it happen. 478 00:16:46.719 --> 00:16:52.524 I actually have a video that's coming out tomorrow that is going to go over that. 479 00:16:53.610 --> 00:16:55.008 So keep your eyes peeled. 480 00:16:55.891 --> 00:16:58.766 Hopefully I keep my word and I edit that on time. 481 00:16:58.828 --> 00:17:00.047 It's been a big project for me. 482 00:17:02.031 --> 00:17:02.281 But yeah, 483 00:17:02.328 --> 00:17:02.453 so 484 00:17:03.281 --> 00:17:06.500 I brought my magic dino deck. 485 00:17:07.218 --> 00:17:07.339 Uh, 486 00:17:07.340 --> 00:17:09.861 I'm sure I've ranted about it on this podcast before, 487 00:17:10.302 --> 00:17:12.345 but the idea is that you use Wiccan, 488 00:17:12.923 --> 00:17:13.103 uh, 489 00:17:13.104 --> 00:17:14.884 in combination with, 490 00:17:15.087 --> 00:17:15.204 uh, 491 00:17:15.243 --> 00:17:16.251 Victoria Hand, 492 00:17:16.290 --> 00:17:17.446 Infinity Ultron, 493 00:17:17.548 --> 00:17:18.353 Esme Cuckoo, 494 00:17:18.814 --> 00:17:19.368 and that way, 495 00:17:20.111 --> 00:17:21.314 on the last turn of the game, 496 00:17:21.392 --> 00:17:22.353 you can play a 497 00:17:22.814 --> 00:17:24.314 5-cost and a 3-cost, 498 00:17:24.376 --> 00:17:27.501 and we have some great 5- and 3-cost cards in our deck. 499 00:17:27.502 --> 00:17:28.267 Um, 500 00:17:28.486 --> 00:17:31.361 and now that the Infinity Ultron stones are 2-cost, 501 00:17:31.501 --> 00:17:31.626 uh, 502 00:17:31.642 --> 00:17:34.001 you can do some crazy stuff, 503 00:17:34.673 --> 00:17:34.939 um, 504 00:17:35.111 --> 00:17:35.720 in this deck. 505 00:17:36.034 --> 00:17:36.234 Like, 506 00:17:36.294 --> 00:17:37.795 playing Victoria Hand, 507 00:17:37.936 --> 00:17:38.856 Power Stone, 508 00:17:39.278 --> 00:17:41.758 and Speed all on the last turn. 509 00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:42.821 But yeah, 510 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:44.825 so I had a really great time. 511 00:17:45.106 --> 00:17:46.504 My opponents were all super cool. 512 00:17:48.028 --> 00:17:49.309 I wish I could have clutched it up, 513 00:17:49.426 --> 00:17:49.606 but 514 00:17:50.489 --> 00:17:51.668 I lost a lot to 515 00:17:52.012 --> 00:17:53.231 Enchantress and Shang-Chi, 516 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:53.746 right? 517 00:17:53.793 --> 00:17:53.950 Like, 518 00:17:53.996 --> 00:17:55.653 Devil Dino is a fun card, 519 00:17:55.746 --> 00:17:59.996 but unfortunately there are just so many answers in the game for this card. 520 00:18:00.043 --> 00:18:00.356 It's like... 521 00:18:00.674 --> 00:18:02.335 It feels like a liability sometimes. 522 00:18:02.396 --> 00:18:03.156 A lot of games, 523 00:18:03.238 --> 00:18:07.120 I had to play around the fact that my opponent was hoping I'd play the Devil Dino, 524 00:18:07.542 --> 00:18:08.421 and then I just wouldn't, 525 00:18:09.085 --> 00:18:10.624 which actually worked out beautifully for me. 526 00:18:10.765 --> 00:18:12.242 But all that aside, 527 00:18:12.288 --> 00:18:14.507 let's talk about the actual people who won this thing. 528 00:18:15.546 --> 00:18:18.179 The event was streamed on the second day, 529 00:18:18.445 --> 00:18:20.507 and I caught about four hours this time, 530 00:18:20.648 --> 00:18:22.023 sort of similar to last time. 531 00:18:23.023 --> 00:18:24.398 I made sure to watch some of the beginning. 532 00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:25.413 I kept the stream on, 533 00:18:25.867 --> 00:18:28.288 and I was able to catch the top four. 534 00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:29.226 um 535 00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:30.290 At the time, 536 00:18:30.330 --> 00:18:33.251 I was still working on personal stuff, 537 00:18:33.351 --> 00:18:33.470 so 538 00:18:34.249 --> 00:18:36.991 I did not participate in the chat all that much. 539 00:18:37.073 --> 00:18:37.292 But 540 00:18:37.909 --> 00:18:44.112 I did get to see some of the most insane variants I think I've ever seen with our winner, 541 00:18:44.652 --> 00:18:45.191 Roram. 542 00:18:46.550 --> 00:18:48.909 The top four ended up being Roram, 543 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.394 Yakublovich, 544 00:18:51.034 --> 00:18:51.878 Amthesius, 545 00:18:52.191 --> 00:18:52.831 and Honifer. 546 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:55.175 And they did a stellar job. 547 00:18:55.612 --> 00:18:57.331 All the matches were super fun to watch. 548 00:18:58.738 --> 00:19:13.732 especially dude like as much as i want to be upset with roram's deck like you just you can't make up some of the stuff that happened there was a play where wolverine got discarded from 549 00:19:14.334 --> 00:19:27.568 roram's deck didn't put what just didn't put the wolverine in their deck it just spawned and like it got discarded and it went to the right location 550 00:19:28.202 --> 00:19:28.763 Oh my god, 551 00:19:30.323 --> 00:19:31.505 what a crazy friggin' 552 00:19:31.546 --> 00:19:31.806 play. 553 00:19:32.366 --> 00:19:32.769 And like, 554 00:19:33.386 --> 00:19:38.089 there were a lot of other really good moments in this tournament, 555 00:19:38.229 --> 00:19:38.394 but... 556 00:19:38.994 --> 00:19:39.475 By far, 557 00:19:39.675 --> 00:19:40.295 that one just, 558 00:19:40.335 --> 00:19:40.536 like, 559 00:19:40.696 --> 00:19:41.738 that had my jaw drop. 560 00:19:41.837 --> 00:19:42.257 I was like, 561 00:19:42.337 --> 00:19:43.640 I could not believe. 562 00:19:44.199 --> 00:19:44.320 And, 563 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:44.519 like, 564 00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:45.960 the opponent couldn't believe it either. 565 00:19:46.882 --> 00:19:47.761 They were pretty pissed. 566 00:19:48.222 --> 00:19:48.347 And, 567 00:19:48.386 --> 00:19:48.605 like, 568 00:19:48.644 --> 00:19:49.261 I don't blame them. 569 00:19:49.542 --> 00:19:51.066 People were calling them salty in chat. 570 00:19:51.105 --> 00:19:52.667 But I sympathize. 571 00:19:52.730 --> 00:19:53.167 I was like, 572 00:19:53.230 --> 00:19:54.066 holy moly. 573 00:19:54.589 --> 00:19:55.003 Anyway, 574 00:19:56.644 --> 00:19:59.316 I do want to go over the decks here. 575 00:19:59.378 --> 00:19:59.488 So, 576 00:20:00.238 --> 00:20:02.191 Roram was the ultimate champion. 577 00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:03.894 They brought a deck of 578 00:20:04.363 --> 00:20:05.816 Thanos, Ausha. 579 00:20:06.050 --> 00:20:06.570 Agamotto, 580 00:20:06.710 --> 00:20:08.950 which is a 34 card deck. 581 00:20:10.353 --> 00:20:12.970 They played things like Surge and Juggernaut and Shang-Chi, 582 00:20:13.193 --> 00:20:13.970 Enchantress, 583 00:20:14.173 --> 00:20:14.814 and yeah, 584 00:20:15.173 --> 00:20:16.033 it just worked out. 585 00:20:16.533 --> 00:20:18.329 And in a tournament like this, 586 00:20:19.033 --> 00:20:19.290 you know, 587 00:20:19.853 --> 00:20:23.392 having a deck with high variance means you're going to steal a lot of cubes, 588 00:20:23.751 --> 00:20:24.673 and then on top of that, 589 00:20:24.767 --> 00:20:25.001 right, 590 00:20:25.361 --> 00:20:28.658 they're always betting on the fact that you don't draw your answers. 591 00:20:29.001 --> 00:20:30.408 Things like Shang-Chi and Enchantress, 592 00:20:30.470 --> 00:20:30.736 and then, 593 00:20:30.751 --> 00:20:31.251 of course, 594 00:20:31.611 --> 00:20:34.283 sometimes the game just serves them up to you on a silver plate, 595 00:20:34.423 --> 00:20:35.158 and you can just... 596 00:20:35.694 --> 00:20:51.112 absolutely demolish um i've seen some talk about like you know does this make thanos the most overpowered deck you know you know is this proof that the agamotto thanos deck needs to be completely 597 00:20:51.151 --> 00:21:02.706 destroyed i don't really know like i'd say a a large part of ryan's success was the way that he played the deck um i don't think that it was inherently 598 00:21:03.130 --> 00:21:05.252 more powerful than all the rest of the things up here, 599 00:21:05.352 --> 00:21:06.233 but I mean, 600 00:21:06.313 --> 00:21:09.295 you can't deny that a lot of it was extremely lucky. 601 00:21:10.596 --> 00:21:15.682 So kudos to Waram for having the foresight to bring a deck like this. 602 00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:19.885 It reminds me of the deck that Buttsquad brought last time with 603 00:21:20.322 --> 00:21:21.494 Pixie and Mobius, 604 00:21:22.604 --> 00:21:24.307 and the whole idea of that being, 605 00:21:24.651 --> 00:21:24.994 you know, 606 00:21:25.416 --> 00:21:28.135 your opponent is going to have a hard time predicting what you can do, 607 00:21:28.354 --> 00:21:29.072 and you can sort of, 608 00:21:29.229 --> 00:21:29.479 you know, 609 00:21:29.604 --> 00:21:29.963 snap. 610 00:21:30.827 --> 00:21:48.224 uh when they don't have the information for it so kudos to war m i think they they played the deck very well um in second place was a clue of yakublovich um who brought a fenris deck uh that had shang chi galacta gladiator um 611 00:21:48.225 --> 00:21:58.099 it had a bunch of answers it also had merlin in there and i actually really liked this deck they had a similar philosophy right they had loki in here with the idea of like, 612 00:21:58.317 --> 00:21:58.474 hey, 613 00:21:58.614 --> 00:21:59.739 sometimes when you're in a pinch, 614 00:22:00.434 --> 00:22:01.035 Loki it up, 615 00:22:01.255 --> 00:22:02.436 get some cheap cards. 616 00:22:02.977 --> 00:22:04.818 You already have a lot of tech in your deck, 617 00:22:04.897 --> 00:22:06.439 so if you just need big numbers, 618 00:22:06.721 --> 00:22:07.459 not a bad way to go. 619 00:22:08.123 --> 00:22:09.623 I really liked their approach to that. 620 00:22:10.186 --> 00:22:12.443 Amtheseus brought a Thanos 621 00:22:12.850 --> 00:22:13.748 Spectrum deck, 622 00:22:14.850 --> 00:22:15.647 which made it very, 623 00:22:15.732 --> 00:22:16.287 very high. 624 00:22:17.553 --> 00:22:18.256 And ultimately, 625 00:22:18.693 --> 00:22:18.928 you know, 626 00:22:19.459 --> 00:22:22.428 the cost of this deck is just that it dies to Killmonger. 627 00:22:22.975 --> 00:22:23.240 Like, 628 00:22:23.709 --> 00:22:24.975 so many matchups. 629 00:22:25.334 --> 00:22:29.803 I'm surprised that they made it this far without putting in Kyera. 630 00:22:30.674 --> 00:22:33.137 I'm shocked that people don't use that card. 631 00:22:33.156 --> 00:22:34.359 It's in the game for a reason, 632 00:22:34.477 --> 00:22:37.141 but they felt that that was the right way to go. 633 00:22:37.242 --> 00:22:38.242 And to their credit, 634 00:22:38.285 --> 00:22:38.426 right, 635 00:22:38.427 --> 00:22:39.481 they made it to third place. 636 00:22:39.504 --> 00:22:40.082 But ultimately, 637 00:22:40.106 --> 00:22:43.067 it was that Killmonger that ended up sealing the deal. 638 00:22:44.426 --> 00:22:46.817 And last but certainly not least is Hanifur, 639 00:22:47.613 --> 00:22:56.723 who brought a really interesting clog deck that used Yellowjacket and Merlin and Werewolf by Night with the, 640 00:22:56.785 --> 00:22:57.020 you know, 641 00:22:57.098 --> 00:22:58.395 Sentry Annihilus combo. 642 00:22:59.054 --> 00:22:59.634 And it was really, 643 00:22:59.694 --> 00:23:00.234 really good. 644 00:23:00.334 --> 00:23:02.635 I actually really enjoyed watching Hanifor play. 645 00:23:02.715 --> 00:23:04.814 I think that they did a tremendous job, 646 00:23:04.815 --> 00:23:06.357 and this deck was pretty creative. 647 00:23:06.397 --> 00:23:07.373 I haven't seen it before. 648 00:23:08.514 --> 00:23:08.639 So, 649 00:23:08.717 --> 00:23:08.857 yeah, 650 00:23:09.334 --> 00:23:10.139 all of these decks, 651 00:23:10.576 --> 00:23:12.615 really cool in their own right. 652 00:23:13.654 --> 00:23:14.475 I especially like 653 00:23:15.615 --> 00:23:16.334 Hanifor's deck. 654 00:23:16.678 --> 00:23:19.818 I think I was rooting for them the hardest during the top four, 655 00:23:19.912 --> 00:23:21.647 but really fun to watch, 656 00:23:21.693 --> 00:23:22.881 really fun to play in. 657 00:23:23.818 --> 00:23:25.615 They have not announced if they're doing another one. 658 00:23:25.818 --> 00:23:27.100 This one came so soon. 659 00:23:27.462 --> 00:23:30.245 I wouldn't be shocked if they take a minute to, 660 00:23:30.866 --> 00:23:31.145 you know, 661 00:23:31.487 --> 00:23:35.569 take stock and figure out a more cohesive plan for the next one. 662 00:23:35.608 --> 00:23:37.210 But this one was really great. 663 00:23:37.272 --> 00:23:39.132 I'm glad that they're doing this again. 664 00:23:39.155 --> 00:23:41.733 And if we've learned anything from the previous one, 665 00:23:42.421 --> 00:23:50.639 they're going to use the tournament from this data to they're going to use the data from this tournament in order to make some pretty cool decisions for the game. 666 00:23:50.702 --> 00:23:50.827 So, 667 00:23:51.389 --> 00:23:51.530 yeah, 668 00:23:51.686 --> 00:23:52.202 super cool. 669 00:23:52.502 --> 00:23:52.622 Uh, 670 00:23:52.862 --> 00:23:54.044 those are all the canoe cards. 671 00:23:54.083 --> 00:23:55.704 That's the tournament that just happened. 672 00:23:55.726 --> 00:23:56.868 I hope I didn't miss anything. 673 00:23:57.407 --> 00:23:57.646 Um, 674 00:23:57.927 --> 00:23:59.528 new patch also just came out. 675 00:23:59.771 --> 00:24:00.048 Uh, 676 00:24:00.071 --> 00:24:01.915 that's actually posted by Second Dinner, 677 00:24:01.954 --> 00:24:02.790 which is super cool. 678 00:24:03.376 -->

WEBLAUNCH, 682 00:24:09.244 --> 00:24:09.353 uh, 683 00:24:09.853 --> 00:24:11.165 you're going to get some goodies. 684 00:24:11.243 --> 00:24:12.306 So make sure you do that. 685 00:24:12.696 -->
