A similar feeling is wanting to build a certain deck but it's too expensive atm. Then when you save up enough or slowly build it over time, the deck is mid or bad now because it got power crept. 😢

Seeing this episode not have Graham with the new legendary bear from this set is just like seeing Kathleen not talk about cats when the cat commander deck came out a while back

2:03 I know that feel man, just yesterday i looked at that card and had the exact same thoughts Same goes for Impromptu Raid and Dramatic Entrance, all underrated. SaffronOlive recently played an Impromptu Raid in Modern and it was better than expected, so Call of the Wild, i believe in you!
Loved Graham's shirt! All the playtesting in this episode made me laugh because that's what it's like for me playing my janky modern decks against more competetive decks lol
I would like to add, from the year 2023, that Karn Liberated is no longer an auto include in tron and is now more of a one of if you want. Ben's fear came true.
@@sheesh8831 a little pain is good every now and then.. a competent yandere, if she really loves you, won't actually remove limbs.. I wont get into the dynamics but it's good incentive to remain faithful as well as she usually is as faithful as possible..
I'm back here in 2023 right after Fury got banned because I hit the end of TH-cam. Ben wanted a playable Modern elemental deck... and, well, that monkey paw sure curled.
Sad thing is, I actually had a call of the wild deck in high school. It was U/G and bit more casual than modern, since most of the people their could not afford. I got it to work... A little. This brings back memories.
Last year before Phoenix there was a brief time you could play anything in Modern but I feel like after last year we're back to there really being about just 7 options again. Hopefully Horizons helps this.
did they not change the planeswalker cards in the opening titles? im sure I remember paul's one about being a resistor and cam's one bioviating. I is a sad, reading the text on the cards in the opening titles is like finding an easter egg in a movie- a little giggle gift from the director
Hmm no link to the decklist ?!? … surely a halve decent deck can be brewn around this card!

Ben skips through the wilderness with his card
Me: "This is weird even for Friday Nights..... Kathleen wrote this, didn't she."
Indeed she did
"what's your life total?
"18?"
".......yeah alright"
still gets me
That and "I'm at 13" are just stone cold classic lines
I have an *urgent need* for that framed picture of Ben and Karn.
I wish there was an elemental tribal deck
Core 2020: k
Boiled egg lmaoooo
We got the better ball elemental deck
Ha
MH2: Hold my beer.
So, if Karn is just floating around outdoors, would he be considered "Karn of the Wild"?
Graham caught karn
@@who_m7315 Oof, I hope he gets well soon.
Karn liberated
@@who_m7315 *Pokemon battle music*
A wild KARN appeared!
GRAHAM sends out BEAR TOKEN!
This episode is low-key wicked depressing. We've all had that feeling Graham had at the end
Yup
My pet card is eye of the storm however it’s a bad card
A similar feeling is wanting to build a certain deck but it's too expensive atm. Then when you save up enough or slowly build it over time, the deck is mid or bad now because it got power crept. 😢
I thought I could escape Phoenix here. I was wrong
Could have just blown up the ascension and two of his lands and still probably got there lol
Kathleen did mention that his ability to pilot the deck was one of the main reasons he wasn't winning, remember?

"What if there's just an even SPICIER 7-drop in Modern Horizons?"
*Hogaak, exists
Dammit Ben I love you, but stop being an absolute oracle. The health of modern depends on it
Spicy, yes. 7-drop, technically. But it doesn't cost mana, so...
I love how Cam is vaguely annoyed at first that Graham is forcing him to win right away rather than toying with him like a spider with its prey.
Thing in the ice ticks down before your spells resolve cam
This random pick up match in the moonbase is clearly being played at RELaxed
Sneaking turn order violations under the radar is like, half the fun of kitchen table constructed.
@@mrdelirious8706 I think even at comp REL that falls under the provisions for out of order sequencing (I'm not a judge tho so what do I know)
Seeing this episode not have Graham with the new legendary bear from this set is just like seeing Kathleen not talk about cats when the cat commander deck came out a while back
This was before the actual set released
At least Call of the Wild has a home in it's natural environment; Commander.
I love grams face of just complete bewilderment at what Kathleen is doing.
Deathshadow, right?
Cruetus Nex not exactly
That is pretty much how most casual react to death shadow
I am confused too, why is she happy that she took 7 damage at turn 1?
@@feha92 because death shadow gets smaller equal to your life total. So you want to drop it as low as possible and then swing with the biggest creature in modern for 1 mana
Graham's last "what" is every reaction when the magic cards come out. I stare out into nothingness until I hear "I win" or "you lose".
This was actually quite funny. If you guys can build half the buzz for Modern Horizons that War of the Spark got it'll do great.
I love that Paul's card has resistor markings on the nameline
Graham's struggle with his pet deck being too slow for modern is too real.
im at 13...
triskaidekaphobia usually proc at turn 5
it's more jank than call of the wild
so graham won the morale victory
OMG I HAVE TO BUILD THE TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA DECK NOW!!!
@@nerdherd2604 It is my favourite card and I managed to work once and against myself :p
I have been trying to figure the end scene. Why would she put herself at 13 so she can lose during upkeep?
@@StapleCactus death's shadow, which is a creature that gets stronger the lower life you have
haha I like the actual play sequence that arclight phoenix had to play
Swinging in for 18 on turn four is pretty freaking good...even in modern
That normally kills a person in modern what with fetches and shocks.
I like how Paul has the resistor colors at the top of his card
4:35 Is the audible Alex "Woo!" right after "Enjoy your date, I guess?" intentional? That timing was pretty spot-on for a coincidence.
It's so quick and far in the background I can't tell but I would think it's meant to be Ben and not like Alex streaming while they record
No, this is not enough! We need MORE of Ben frolicking through various scenic locations!
2:03 I know that feel man, just yesterday i looked at that card and had the exact same thoughts

“how cool would it be to have an elemental tribal deck?”
now, in 2024…. i wish it was 2017 again 😭😭
I just want to say thank you loadingreadyrun because you have revived my love for magic so thanks :)
Okay... Ben predicted the future on the Elemental Tribal deck.
Great Grahm/kat scene. Nice follow focus play and awkward long pause to end the scene. Brilliant.
When your pet cards dont work, but them in commander!
Edit I would probably try out call of the wild in my Dragon deck.
@@jacobhook9610 Don't forget Mirri's Guile, Sensei's Divining Top, and Sylvan Library. I also recommend Blue for Brainstorm and anything with Scry.
@@jacobhook9610 Soothsaying
Which is exactly why i play commander more than any format!! Also the creative freedom to build fun themed decks!! 😊
Fits very well in a Gruul Zoo deck.
Kathleen and Graham is too accurate, death's shadow's one hell of a deck
"In this episode, Graham learns you either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. And he's through with dying."
Adam and Ben are bundles of positive energy. Seeing the best boys cure my depression.
Everytime. :3
The grand irony of this episode about Modern Horizons, is this set gave birth to Graham's true passion: BEAR FORCE ONE!
Best part of these is the intro cards, many good gut laughs.
I would like to add, from the year 2023, that Karn Liberated is no longer an auto include in tron and is now more of a one of if you want. Ben's fear came true.
thank you thank you so much for revealing what the card was all along now i just gotta wait another 30 years for the next call back
Oooh that phoenix play felt so good to watch
I know how Ben feels. I had a torrid affair with Massacre Girl.
.....what is it with people and Yanderes?
@@PowerArmorV113..blame Rudy!
@@PowerArmorV113 yanderes are usually best girl material though..

I love how ben totally called the ball lightning, and a better ball lightning deck
i just love this episode, out of many.
Friday nights is awesome!!! Love these vids!
oh dang, this was really good. Seeing Ben say Karn was his favorite card and that portrait! I didn't quite understand the post credits bit
"Or maybe I just play tron," Imma quote that too much now
Melinda Phantom That would make a great LRR pin!
RIP Ben's sinuses after having to be next to the literal Wall of Blossoms for some of the scenes.
HOLD TEH FUK UP, did ben predict core 2020?
Ben predicted the elemental domination in modern
The LRR crew!! I love the work you fine folks produce.!!
Floral! You guys never stop winning. I will just be over here, rooting for the underdog, in my corner.
so we didnt quite get lightingballer but we could make that better ball deck now!
We don't actually know that yet
Cam misplayed. The counters are removed from Thing in the Ice before Faithless Looting resolves.
the bigger mistake is not killing the ascention with the terastodon
Im so glad i saw that this series was back like exited and now im getting back into standard
Left at eldrich moon
Cam is my spirit animal on gifts storm feels
Referring to Cameron, a First Nations/native person, as your "spirit animal" is a choice I think you should reconsider.
Texan Reverend
Nahh
Imagine sneaking a Terastodon into play and NOT killing the pyromancer ascension
Y'all, LRR has a Modern Horizons preview in two weeks...on a Friday. Their preview MUST be Call of the Wild on a stick!
Wild Caller.
"Hello, is this Wild?
Oops, wrong number."
Last year before Phoenix there was a brief time you could play anything in Modern but I feel like after last year we're back to there really being about just 7 options again. Hopefully Horizons helps this.
Elemental tribal deck, how early they were...
"I thought you said it wasn't cool!"
"It's about sending a messages"
The ending scene was lethal.
Excited for modern horizon!
Now Karn is actually unplayable in pretty much any format lol
Watching this now, and seeing the "Not everyone's pet card can be a deck" scene is poinent as someone else who's pet card was phoenix.
I feel the same way, but with Living Lore. A spicey card that can do broken things, but is just not fast enough.
I was kind of hoping that a new printing of call of the wilds was blown into his hand and this was the beginning of spoiler season for horizons.
did they not change the planeswalker cards in the opening titles? im sure I remember paul's one about being a resistor and cam's one bioviating. I is a sad, reading the text on the cards in the opening titles is like finding an easter egg in a movie- a little giggle gift from the director
The card for Paul feels unfair since I work in electronics manufacturing and have no defense against that joke.
Did you mean you have no "resistance" to that joke?
Graham might have had a decent shot at winning that game if he blew up Pyromancer Ascension with his Terastodon.
Im just glad he was able to actually make Bear Force 1
Ben kinda called it with elemental tribal at the beginning
The only reason why I still watch this show is Cameron, so gold. :'D
Burst out loud hysterical!!!! Keep it up!!!
Oh WOW this episode is strong. Kudos everyone!
sensei's divining top with call of the wild could make it work. If he really wanted to build the deck, top deck manipulation would be key
The Karn picture was amazing
man for a moment I though the card flying at graham at the end would be something like "Caller of the Wilds"
Hmm no link to the decklist ?!? … surely a halve decent deck can be brewn around this card!
I'dd start testing with something like this.
4x Llanowar Elves
4x Wildgrowth Walker
4x Merfolk Branchwalker
4x Jadelight Ranger
2x Carnage Tyrant
2x Gaea's Revenge
2x Sphinx of the Final Word
4x Worldly Tutor
3x Reclaim
3x Call of the Wild
4x Dispel
24x lands (blue/green mana base, skewed towards green)
Few things: this episode was amazing... i also wish lrr actually played modern... also ben’s date with karn reminded me of when alex and beej got zippity whizbangs/zopstrops
Wow the Ben Karn interlude
People watching the filming must have thought “what is going on?”
Amazing I am glad I got to see a new one
cam missed the first pyromansers accention trigger
Jacob Mayer clearly he cast Thought Scour with Ascension on the stack.
It only triggers if there's already a copy of the spell you're casting in the graveyard. He didn't have a thought scour in his yard yet.
Call of the wild will always have a premium place in any Momir Vig Commander deck
Every dedicated tron player has paid full retail (blood moon, alpine moon, damping sphere)
Cam, I'm playing mill in standard. I hope you are proud.
Cam, I'm playing mill in commander!
(I am not joking, I even won once with my Phenax and Eater of the Dead combo)
Ben got his Ball Blightning, alright! xD
So the opening cards with Paul having a proper resistance color code marking just made my day.
And the Oscar goes tooooo......Ben. I would have to say Ben. Kudos.
You know, Graham: Just build an edh deck around it and have fun!
I like the music reference on Kathleen's card this time
Are we going to get a video of Graham finally getting his legendary Bear?
Merieke is my all time favorite commander. Change my mind.
That ending was amazing
Man, look at all of the elemental tribal decks there are now.
The box Graham grabs at the beginning is a Return to Ravnica Giftbox
"Do you have any non-Horror creatures?" Yes, because I don't play Phoenix.....and it's 2019.
I literally have that card and am building a deck around it!😂
worldly tutor, reclaim
Watching this in 2022 when karn is no longer an auto include in tron cause of modern horizons 2.
Kathleen is a Lizard Wizard! I love it!
