      It's actually kind of interesting - Jim's Deck is running Chrome Mox, which is just not an OK Magic Card, but everything else is pretty bad by modern standards. Every card Bloody was running has an encyclopedia of text on it, but they're all fairly unidimentional value engines. Prof's deck was the one with the best of both worlds - some spells over the line for today's standards (some of them WAY over the line), and creatures that don't suck.

    While tapping your cards only 45 degrees may seem like a newer phenomenon thanks to people coming up on Arena, it was also fairly prevalent in the days around Revised edition because the tap symbol they employed for that set shows a T that is tilted at 45 degrees. I tapped my cards like that for a while back then until I realized how difficult it was to tell what the game state was and surrendered to the 90 degree tap, never to look back.

    That first match felt pretty lopsided. I know the zombie deck that Jim was piloting has the ability to do silly things as well, but I think this just highlights the powering up of creatures.

      @@LtSMASH324 okay, but that's pretty disingenuous. If youre comparing creatures from five years ago, it was during a *deliberate* power down from BFZ to Ixalan.
      Creatures in 2011-2016 were pretty comparable, standard-wise, to creatures today. Even eldraine isn't too far away from that powerlevel.
      Like, we're talking about an era with Snapcaster, Geist of saint traft, delver of secrets, the praetors, and not even discussing the non-creatures.
      Power goes up in some places and down in others, and we only remember the peaks of those swings.

    First of all, thanks for the upload. I would never miss an episode. I have a request: when you link a decklist, make sure that it actually contains the cards you've played with. I first noticed this issue with the mono-black pauper decklist which did not contain Distress and now I notice that Bloody's decklist does not contain Quasiduplicate or Shifting Ceratops. One aspect of this series that I think is key is that viewers, like myself, enjoy seeing how the decks work not to mention possibly trying to put decks together ourselves. I now have the mono-black pauper deck on my shelf and although it wasn't rocket science to guess which cards Distress was replacing, it's not as obvious in the case of this Eldraine deck. Does Quasiduplicare replace Entrancing Melody? Mass Manipulation? It would be a shame not to streamline all aspects of such an enjoyable series.

    • @eliakimrodrigues

      Prof explained in another comment that the copy Lord of the Unreal gives itself +1/+1 as it is an Illusion (via its own effect), so it wouldn't die (and it would keep the Illusion Bears alive aswell).

    Am I missing something or would the infest indeed have cleared the board? All creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn, the OG Lord dies putting the phantasmal image Lord to 0/0, thus killing it, and then killing the bears also. I would've loved to see that chain reaction.

    • @MrKillerofthings
      @MrKillerofthings ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The phantasmal image lord would have been a 4/4 since the card doesn't read "give OTHER illusions +1 +1"
      So i think the only way Jim gets out is by attacking with his 2/2's and having prof block one. Then infest would have been able to clear the board by killing both Lords and then the bears.
      But I doubt Prof would fall for the attack bait.
