Commander Rules and Ban List:

I actually think this is one of the better chromatic lantern decks, because it ensures that you will always have access to WUBRG by turn 4 to cast your commander or any WUBRG spell a turn early
Chromatic Lantern isn't bad, it just isn't 2 mana. I know not being 2 mana is a sin to the modern EDH player (specially those who think the command zone is the EDH bible), but it is perfectly fine to play 3 mana mana rocks, specially one that fixes your mana to this extent.
Chromatic Lantern should be an automatic include in any 3+ color deck. Saying otherwise is just hindering yourself.
Yeah, Chromatic Lantern is by far the best 3-mana rock. Even if you don’t like Commander’s Sphere because it’s slow, the fixing Lantern gives is insane. Turning all lands (including colorless utility lands) into 5-color lands is insanely good.
@@Digitalneo1 Agreed. Now we can argue is it worth 11$ all day long, but it definitely should still be a staple
@@justinclement7211 time for a reprint!
I have a 3 color landfall deck with green and yet I STILL can't make some plays due to the colours even in the lategame (for example spamming an activated ability that costs a specific mana symbol), chromatic lantern is really good
Best part of Chromatic Lantern/World Tree is not having to think about what lands to tap and filter and whatnot.
God please. Gonna run them in my 2 color decks just for that
lol for real! It's SO nice when I can just tell all my friends my lands produce any color so I no longer have to take the time to show I'm tapping for the correct colors all the dang time
takes some of the pain in painbow out
i have never ever been upset to draw a lantern! even if i play full fetch and shok mana base i m still happy to use the fetches as normal lands and most important i don t have to think too much on how i spend the mana!
I imagine most people that watch these videos are budget conscious players so I'll say this about the mana base - it is decent for a 5 color precon. Slow fetches, tapped tri lands, and a lot of the 2+ opponent untapped dual lands. I always suggest proxying lands just because they are otherworldly expensive and they go in like every deck. Normal fetch lands replace slow fetches, shock or duals go in there to probably replace the basic land conditional duals, replace the tri lands with tricycle lands that have land types. It has a really straightforward framework for ways to upgrade it, and it isn't miserable out of the box like a lot of precons tend to be (even ones with 3 or fewer colors)
I whole heartedly agree, the mana base is a lot better than most non 5 color mana bases, and they made a new card Tiller Engine to help out the etb stuff, but even then this is still good, I think slow fetches are a great way to give players fetches, and these new dual lands we see are also nice too to upgrade and have more options to fetch.
I really think the people who designed this deck did a fantastic job with the manabase considering all of the restrictions they were under because of it being a precon!
I have the deck. It works, my only complaint is that it’s a bit slow as is. Too many tapped lands and you have to be lucky to get the fixes out for the taps early enough for it to be important. Those fixes take up spaces that could be far better cards and aren’t reliable enough. Fixing the mana so you don’t have so many tapped cards and don’t need as much colour fixing would let you ramp a lot faster which is important when all the good cards are at least 5
I'm just mind blown how Josh said he wouldn't run chromatic lantern like wtf in a five color deck you need it to fix your lands early
He just use 10 fechs and 10 shocks and 10 triomes, budge style
@@gustavosousa5246 yep hard to take a lot of advice seriously from this channel if you are on a true budget.
@@gustavosousa5246 and 10 original duals
@@gustavosousa5246 you left out the 10 duals.
Wholeheartedly disagree with Josh. Mana fixing in a 5 color deck is crucial. Chromatic Lantern, Dryad of Ilysian Grove are great ways to mana fix if you don't want to upgrade lands. Tiller Engine is also great for dealing with your lands coming in tapped as well.
I feel like Josh's argument could be sufficient for a 3 color deck but for 4+ colors, you want to make your mana as consistent as possible.
I've had this observation about a lot of these "upgrade" videos.. a lot of the suggestions and rationale are bad but then you see the Commander Knights decks with everything most rational players would include lol
Yep. I find it easy to make wuberg around turn 5 to 7 which is as fast as many other decks getting started
There is the restriction of 30$ upgrade
Also I'd include the Lair 3 color dragon lands from Planeshift (Crosis's Catacombs, Darigaaz's Caldera, Treva's Ruins, Dromar's Cavern & Rith's Grove).
Agreed, hearing him saying it's a manalith is so wrong. It's also land fixing sigh
Did Chromatic Lantern run over Josh's dog or something? He seems violently opposed to it. It's a great card in 5c decks, regardless of how good your mana base is.
That being said, it's a sin that it's not in the precon already. Given it's price tag it's in desperate need of a reprint, and this deck was a little low on value anyway.
I pulled five basic lands out, 1 of each, for the five searchable enemy color duals from DMU. Made an immediate difference so far, and they’re only 25 cents each.
Two cards I would seriously consider for this deck that weren't mentioned (and both under $5) are Spirit of Resistance and Scion of Draco.
Spirit of resistance is $12 and going up
Neither are under $5 now. Lol. Still adding scion to this deck, though.
A guild signet over a chromatic lantern in a 5 color deck???? Not just a multiple color deck, but a LITERAL 5 color centric deck could really use it if you're not trying to dumb shocks/fetches and duals into a deck
Shout out to Jamie for sticking up for a totally legitimate card that Josh hates because it doesn't cost 2
Massive respect to JLK, but I definitely disagree with the statement that Chromatic Lantern is a Manalith. It's one of the best mana fixing rocks out there. It taps for colour and it makes all your lands whatever you need them to be. I run it in any deck of three colour or higher and its saved my backside on more than one occasion. Just cause you have to pay that one more mana isn't a good enough reason to me to dismiss another card that can fix all your mana in a multi coloured deck.
They said there's only the one mutate card, but there's definitely two mutate cards in the deck. Also, primeval spawn you can cheese in. There's one flyer that lets you play a card from your hand without paying the cost when it hits. I forget the name. So you'd exile primeval spawn and get the trigger
Now that Child of Alara can be bought for as little as $1.79, it looks like a worthy budget addition to this deck too.
Chromatic lantern is not a bad card and that ability alone to fix just your lands by itself is an amazing ability for 5 color decks. I play almost all of the 5 color commanders and as long as I didn’t build them for CEDH, they will get a lantern.
Josh's vendetta against chromatic lanturn continues 😂
Druid of Elysian Grove and Chromatic Lantern are -perfect- mana fixing with super low color pips needed for fixing. As in, for a Lantern, you do t have any color requirement and for a dryad, you need one green source. There are cheaper tutors for artifacts or creatures than for generic tutor effects (see Eldamri’s Call or Moonsilver key v Demonic Tutor’s prices . . . ) either of these essentially makes all your lands the 500+ dollar dual lands, or untapped triomes, or whatever else you need. Yes, they’re potential removal targets, but … a lot of folks think like Josh and they will -not- generally be a priority to remove.
Good use of tutors means you’ll likely be able to fetch perfect fixing regardless of the lands you have in play. Black - demonic
Green/white - Eldamri’s call
Blue - fabricate.
Heck, throw in some blue spell tutors to find the tutor you need or some transmute 3 cards to also help tutor fixing.
Either of these will be easy(ish) to tutor and immediately fix all color related mana issues. You can likely find 8+ serviceable tutor/transmute effects for less than the price of a single fetch land, and either will do way more color fixing than a fetch land.
They’re 100% worth a 3 drop slot.

I know first-hand that Mana Cannons is a very potent card in the deck. Very annoying too. Completely messed up my game plan when I played against it the other night.
Not playing Sol Ring is probably “Fancy Play” syndrome.
Not playing Chromatic Lantern in this deck, is that same “Fancy Play” syndrome.
It’s expensive, and fits in maybe 3 decks you own, so it’s easier to avoid, if you can. That being said, this is 5 colors.
Widespread Thieving seems perfect for the deck, get a treasure for each multicolor spell you cast, the hideway is just a bonus. I also like Bound//determined here (that one probably need some scryfall searching XD). Sacrifice a kavu to regrow 5 cards for 5 mana, or cycle the determined half and protect your big spell.
I'm running maskwood nexus since I'm already running world tree in the deck. I've gotten all of my creatures out thanks to it.
always love the upgrade videos. and then sometimes seeing them played on extra turns or something
Chromatic Lantern is great for a 5 color deck specifically one where you are trying to cast multicolor spells (one of the best cards in original Jodah) and can immediately solve the problem. However, even more so, I would like to disagree with the signets as being a good replacement... spend a few bucks on Three Visits, Farseek (already in the deck), Nature's Lore, Skyshroud Claim and a Wood Elves for a 5 color deck.
With those pieces of ramp (over something like rampant growth or a signet) you can start by using the Kaldheim snow dual lands and the new DMU common lands, and then later the Triomes, shocks etc... to help fix your colors which provides a pretty smooth budget upscaling process for a 5 color mana base.
The skits. I could watch an entire video of advertising skits. You guys are genius.
Chromatic Lantern is good. Strongly disagree with Josh here. Even in slightly competitive builds, that card can fix your mana and you don't have to sweat not having the right signets or something.
I won't take the Chromatic Lantern slander.
Large agree. I was amazed by that because it’s very rare that I disagree with the great JLK!
Has anyone else noticed that the two commanders are the names of the actors for Supernatural and that Jensen summons angels.
Just got my Painbow yesterday, I'll call them Sam and Dean now moving forward.
3 mana color fixing rock bad, but 2 mana rock that still requires 1 to activate is good? And the 2 mana rock only gives you 2 specific colors?
tho about that of Illuna, Apex of Wishes, its not the only one mutate creature in the deck, Nethroi, Apex of Death is the other one.
Honestly as much as I love mutate as a mechanic I fully intend to take out both of them. I feel unless it's the focus for the deck I'd rather run another multi color card in place the apex's
@@goblinkinggaming101 It's easier to just think of it as an ETB or Kicker effect, rather than expecting to get the effect off multiple times per game.
i’m so glad everyone thought what JLK said ab chromatic lantern was also whack 😂 great color fixer, especially in 5 color
It’s sad that a cag member doesn’t understand how many 5c cards that work very well together
I would recommend Scion of Draco as it benefits creatures for having more colours, works extremely well with the kavus that Jared makes, they would have vigilance, hexproof, lifelink, first strike and trample, and he can also boost them into 8/8 s with that
I’m making this deck and I’m running as many charms in it as possible I like doing random stuff in 5 color and being able to just have as many options always is so much fun to me
Playing this precon out of the box I found primeval spawn to actually be really good. I had no problems getting mana and ramp and on always had more mana than opponents. With Jared's -3 giving Primeval Spawn another +5/+5 gave me much needed life, protection because of vigilance, and when died, got great paybacks. I recommend keeping it in!
Na man, 10 mana? It's terrible. Your playgroup must be 3/10
You know what else a Sol Ring would help pay for? A Chromatic Lantern.
If you don’t want to proxy “proper” fetches, I think you should include Fabled Passage. It’s a strictly better Evolving Wilds, as the basic it will fetch will untap if you control 4+ lands (including itself). Basically every 3+ color deck in Pioneer (where Fetchlands are banned/aren’t legal) runs it because it’s not only fixing, but drawing it late game doesn’t slow you down like an Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse. And it’s like $5 because it was printed in more than one set and really only sees play in Pioneer.
Color identity has been in rules text since the first 2011 precons, you know, Command Tower
Yup. There's also Arcane Signet, Path of Ancestry, Opal Palace, and Commander's Plate - and possibly others I'm forgetting.
I would say it’s a crime sisay the weatherlight captain isn’t in this deck. You can cast her a turn before you cast your commander and she immediately becomes 7/7 that can tutor for a WUBRG which you’ll have likely if you cast your commander. At that point you can either +1 your Jared to build more protection or you can -3 to take sisay to 12/12 and likely next turn if you’re on curve can WUBRG for literally any legendary card in your deck. This pairs well with Kenrith another add of mine cuz you can tutor out a haste enabler for all those cards your getting. Also for the price kyodai soul of kamigawa is fantastic. You can flash it in to protect your commander then just pump it to protect kyodai. It’s a cheap flyer that can also buff itself for a WUBRG so it gets stupid big really quickly.
Josh is 100% sleeping on Lantern, especially in a 5 colour deck. Yeah it's not 2 mana but mana fixing in a 5 colour deck is crucial for you to have a good game.
Yay! More love for Jelle's Marble Runs! Loved the budget upgrade guide :)
MY BOY GETTING THE SHOUT-OUT!!!
59:48 I am so happy he said this. I'm sick of hearing from these guys 'wow it costs 7 mana? it should win you the game' like what are you even on about? 7 mana is so easy to get to in Commander and most tables are casting these spells regularly. Not every spell is Expropriate, please stop comparing them all to it.
Oh, and of course, Chromatic Lantern is a good card.
Very much depends on your power level and meta. Higher power tables aren’t typically casting battle cruiser type spells for 7+. There’s nothing wrong with playing that style of course but this isn’t a homogeneous format by any means.
It seems that their play group is at the higher end of power which makes big spells that don't win the game seem bad
I pulled a timeless lotus and the new Jodah was thinking about upgrading the deck that way
Jodah is great, he can even play Planeswalkers for free. Not sure how useful this deck will be for him though, he is a legendary tribal, this deck isn't, so you would only get 13 mana fixers to use, most of which are already common. Could just buy singles for cheaper.
Sphinx of the Guildpact loves this deck! Nephilims too!
I originally removed Illuna Apex of Wishes too, but actually Illuna's Mutate lets it use the Kavu's ability "this creature is all colors", so if you replace a Kavu with Illuna, it will be [6/6 flying+trample] and get Jared's full +5/+5 from his -3 loyalty ability instead of +3/+3.
Further, the 6 cmc Mutate's cascade-like effect is essentially a shot at a mana discount. How many 5+cmc cards are you keeping in Painbow?
It's cool to see another 5 color commander option.
What do you even play turn 3 that is better than lantern? Very few things will measure up in this deck to fixing it provides.
Even if you ramped t2 and have 4 mana, you can play lantern and then another 2 drop
It is not a cultivate it gives 1 mana back immediately
Unlike guild signets, that require additional mana
honestly wish they could have played this deck on Game Knights or Extra Turns
We all ever consider doing like a 15 card replacement with like a an additional $20 budget
Josh’s hate if chromatic lantern reeks of someone who’s grown accustomed to playing with perfect mana fixing. Some people don’t have 3,000$ to fix 5 colors and 11$ is much more palatable than upgrading the lands. Signets DO NOT help as much as he says. I have a 5 color dragon deck with perfect mana fixing and I’m almost never happy to see a signet but always happy to see the lantern.
Yup, the hate is coming from a guy who I'm pretty sure has OG dual lands in every single deck he builds.
the companion is not in a zone, it's just "outside the game"
(in other format "outside the game" is usually 'defined' as the sideboard, here it's just not defined and it's just outside the game)
Although note that unlike in other formats, the companions _still_ can't be Wished for - the Commander rule that prevents wishes from working isn't the one that says "there are no sideboards", it's the one that says "wishes don't work". (Rule 10)
@@Gemini476 there are no rules that say there are no sideboard, as I said, sideboard are not the default, they are an added rule in certain formats
and yeah without the rule "wishes do'nt work" the card "wish" could grab any card you own from oustide of the game (making spwnsire of ulamog really cool haha !)
Primeval spawn would benefit from "return to hand" abilities. Then recast it. You might be exiling a few cards, but still
They didn't mention jodah, archimage eternal? In a five color deck?
The fact that it's a Jegantha deck means that WUBRG can *already* pay for everything lower than a six-drop. Primeval Spawn and Commander Tax are basically the only things in the deck it would be particularly useful for.
@@Debatra. you still have to pay for command tax with alternate costs
@@theHeroBoy1313 Additional costs actually, not alternate. And you're right. Though that's actually one less reason to bother with Jodah.
I bought this deck for Primeval Spawn, not gonna take it out.
wait, what about Nethroi, Apex of Death, the other creature with mutate thats in the deck?
The fact that Jared gives both counters and tokens tempts me to say Doubling Season. But nothing *else* in the deck particularly cares about those things. (Also, you know... that's a really expensive card.)
i love command zone i have learned so much from them and they make such great content
I just happened upon this channel the last week and saw this video drop and was stoked because I bought this precon and wanted some upgrades. So can anyone tell me why Josh does not like Chromatic Lantern? Like I’m not super competitive, but I’m not dumb when it comes to MtG either, but that seems super powerful in THIS deck specifically. Am I missing something?
No you hit the nail on the head. If you are running a 5 colour deck and you can afford it, you MUST play Lantern. Heck I would run it in 3-4 colour decks as it can help fix your mana. Yes it's not a 2 cost mana rock but the benefits it grants you is incredible. Heck I run a 5 colour Dragon Tribal Deck and I don't own a Lantern as I can't afford it. If I had it 100% I would be running that card in that deck.
I don't know why Josh hates the card so much I personally think it's from a biased perspective but I'm not 100% sure.
Long story short if you have the money and can afford a copy of Lantern, put a copy in the deck you will regret nothing.
Josh just doesnt like 3 cmc mana rocks
Take a look at the old precon that featured the Sunburst mechanic. That had a great mana base and was consistently able to get 5 colors in play early enough to make a difference.
Which one?? do you have the name please
I think calling Chromatic Lantern bad is nuts. Especially comparing it to signets, which only give you two colors (not always the ones you need), I would much rather pay an extra one to get any color, and then turn all of my lands into command towers. That one extra mana is an insignificant loss of tempo for what it gives you, especially in a deck that is very color intensive and doesn’t really do anything until you have 5 mana (which need to be each color). In this deck, there are few things you can be playing on turn 3 that are as impactful and helpful to your strategy as chromatic lantern, I almost want to say this is a must-have unless you have a completely optimized land base, which most people (especially people who would be buying a precon) can’t afford. Long story short tho, I was baffled when Josh said Lantern was bad.
I would like to see a extra turn episode where you guys use these upgrades in the precon and let’s see how these decks plat out
Agree or play it out the box first and then update it, would be cool
I highly suggest using Ramos as the commander and putting Jared into the 99. They said be happy with your one instance of double wuberg, but if he’s your commander, you can get more. I’ve used his double wuberg ability three times in a single game. Spread out over two and a half hours, mind you, but it’s far more explosive than Jared.
Also, not being able to do commander damage with Jared is a huge downside. Ramos can do that damage easier, especially with flying.
Also chamber sentry seems like a great fit for this deck!
Everyone talking about not playing chromatic lantern. But I can’t for the life of me think how you cut Hero of Precinct One in deck where 35+ cards generate a free token and your commander is a planeswalker. At worst it makes your commander come with a free chump blocker!
30:25 is them going on about the cards too add 😉 and 51:57 is on about what too take out your welcome 😁
THANK YOU!
I would still run chrome lantern in addition to world tree, and celestial dawn if the color identity didnt matter, and if you retooled the mana base, and go gates baulders gate too. These wont make you look scary either, heck it might make you look less of a threat
I love how everyone is backing up Chromatic Lantern 🤣 I am 100% going to run Lantern in my 5c deck I'm building. & idk why but for some reason, I HATE signets and things that require you to pay one to tap for 2, like it just nets me 1, so I'd rather just have a dual land or even a basic land in that case.
Man after seeing the comments about Chromatic Lantern idk if I even want to watch it. It's going to annoy me I know.
One of the biggest upgrade would be Leyline of the Guildpact, come in 2024 😅
Five colors are such a baffling thing to me. All of magic at your fingertips and the choice paralysis becomes real.
Pre-Vid: I want to see what I can do with an all colors matter deck. Maybe a Ramos and a Door to Nothingness seem viable. Definitely a Conflux. Some Charms and Niv-Mizzet Reborn too. Maybe take advantage of ETB so Rune of the Hidden Realm. And when all else fails, Child of Alara.
Post -Vid: Once again I see the hate for Chromatic Lantern and I say, Run it if you have it lying around. If you're putting in Ramos, I don't see anything wrong with having him just be the commander instead.
Thanks for the video, lots of great suggestions here. Personally, I think child of Alara would be a good include in this deck too.
There's also a 2nd mutate creature in the deck, still pretty low, but if someone wanted to add a bunch of mutate cards, that could be pretty fun
I'll just throw Dragon Archway in here :) amazing card for this deck! Can even trigger the second ability of the Spawn which costs 10, for only 2 mana. Because archway brings him in, he was not cast and gets instantly exiled!
that is not how the ETB triggered ability of Spawn works. it’s a replacement effect, so if it enters without being cast or being paid for, it is exiled INSTEAD of ETB’ing - therefore, you do NOT get the leaves trigger when you cheat the Primeval, it goes straight to exile
1:01:05 there is a second mutate in the base deck Nethroi, Apex of Death, when you mutate Nethori you pull 10 power worth of creatures and put them to the battlefield.
So many of the lands in this precon etb tapped that i'm surprized they didn't include an amulet of vigor to the list of includes.
uh amulet is not a budget card
I don’t really like Iluna either, so it’s a fine cut, but there is another mutate card in the deck. Nethroi is in there so at least there’s 2 triggers lol 😂
I just want to win with Happily ever after, and this commander is making it a lot easier :)
Let’s go another video I love you guys, you guys are the best🤩
That marble racing stuff looks awesome, definitely gonna check it out haha
I played against this deck yesterday. The pilot just sat there with jenson on board and passed every turn after playing a land.
No Chromatic Lantern, Josh? Really? 3-mana mana rocks are amazing in a 5-color deck! 3 lands to cast Chromatic Lantern, then the next turn you'll have 5 with another land drop to cast Jegantha or your commander. Josh has been blinded by the "2 mana is maximum" argument.
That being said, $11 is a bit much.
Thanks for the review boss! I have an idea but not sure if y’all done these, but how about you guys have a episode when you review the pre made decks for sale and play them out the box, to see how it runs and explain what we’re sum weaknesses and strengths, for someone who wants to learn and get a commander or pre made deck would be a some, could just be a 1vs 1 for time??
Wow, I can taste and feel Josh's disinterest and contempt for this deck.
It's as if he had to try really hard to not dis it out right or something...
Josh, show me on this doll where the Chromatic Lantern hurt you... it's good only in 5 color, why must you argue against a "good for this deck" type of card
There are 2 mutate creatures. The other is the BGW one that gets you 10 power from the graveyard
Yeah, my idea is to add even more of the Apex mutate creatures. They have good keywords and it can be relevant to give those to other creatures.
Not a bad route. I went Liege tribal.
I had a similar idea, but went with Jensen storm-type list using jeskai ascendancy, biomancer’s familiar, Kinana, and training grounds to make Jensen mana positive
Can you share a decklist?
I think I would also put in Jodah, Archmage Eternal and Jodah the Unifier maybe Fist of the Sun maybe some untapping shenanigans
Probably some proliferate too
The fact that it's a Jegantha deck means that WUBRG can already pay for everything lower than a six-drop. Primeval Spawn and Commander Tax are basically the only things in the deck it would be particularly useful for. Unifier could be decent though.
Video starts at 6 minutes in.
Saying that Chromatic Lantern is bad in a 5 color deck is just madness. I have nothing but respect for Josh for everything he does for the community but this is ridiculous. You can not like a card, that's fine. I'm sure Josh plays a ton of cards that I don't personally enjoy. What I'm not going to do is sit around and tell him that his cards suck when they don't. If you can't see that Chromatic Lantern is a good card, ESPECIALLY in 5 color, then I don't know what to say.
Can't remember at the moment but there's a white enchantment that makes it so if you have permanence of each color on the battlefield you cannot take damage
Spirit of Resistance
There’s more than one mutate card! Nethroi. Apex of death is in there as well
I love Iluna. I give Flying and Trample to something that’s indestructible and hexproof and laugh
I've been misreading jegantha since day 1. I thought that there couldnt be a generic mana on the cards in the library so i assumed i would never be able have her as companion.
there are several bring creature or card back from grave yard including Jared's -6. playing primeval spawn multiple times in one game is amazing. This card alone has won me several games. Idk maybe it's just the people I play against.
I've been playtesting the deck itself and to be honest, Jared fits much better in the 99 than as the commander. Early value in scry and one or two angels made a lot more difference than I thought it would. Jensen generally ran the deck more efficiently more often than Jared. Was a lot easier to get value online
Yaye a shout out to Ferrous Rokiric, 1 of my favorite decks has him as the commander.
Jelle's Marble Run is great! OOOoooorangers! Marble League, and Marble Rally is pretty cool too :)
I love these upgrade videos to make the deck stronger or more consistent is awesome. However I saw Jenson and thought how many 5 Color spells and I cast and 5 color abilities can j resolve in one game lol
Is Josh still on the " Chromatic Lantern is a terrible mana rock " kick.....? Ok, whatever my guy. It's going in my deck for sure.
The card he should be telling everyone NOT to buy is Temple of the False God land card. That stupid card screwed me over twice the number of times it ever gave me two colorless mana to use!!!
Is there a way to get a card list outside of this video and where did you go to get the cards for the prices in this list? Your channel kicks ass! My wife and I are new to magic and are loving this channel.
