    The difference between Sunburst and Converge is that Converge has a variety of effects depending on how many colors of mana you use to cast the spell. Sunburst only ever gives +1/+1 counters.

    • @NotAnEvilMastermind
      @NotAnEvilMastermind ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The real difference is that Sunburst is a keyword (has defined effect), Converge is an ability word (it means nothing, has to have the full thing spelled out).
      And Sunburst can also do charge counters! (When on noncreatures)

    Daleks used to not be able to fly (stairs were a problem), but that changed in the reboot (it was a shocking twist in one of the season finales).
    I do hope we get to see a North 100 show about Doctor Who decks plus other supplemental sets from this year (like Aftermath, the D&D secret lair, the Commander Masters cards). Or maybe wait until the Fallout decks come out in March of next year

    River Song drawing from the bottom is amazing flavor considering a major part of her story is that the order in which she encounters the Doctor are in reverse of the Doctor, so the first time the Doctor meets her is the when she's already had countless adventures with him. This is also what "Spoilers" references as she says this any time the Doctor tries to tell her about things that haven't happened to her yet.

  • @bondeulv

    I didn't remember many of these, I even have Illusion // Reality in a colour-matters Commander deck. Golos is the commander, and when I tell people "You think I'm gonna spend 8 mana to cast spells that change colours of creatures or spells?" they usually let me play with Golos as the commander. It's generally just for the "ramp" and fixing. If they made a 5c Blind Seer I'd switch in a heartbeat.
    I'm fairly sure the average mana value of that deck is about 3 mana.

    At 5:37 where they discuss the Alliances rare ‘replacement’ lands they’re wrong-the cycle is not consistent re: whether they produce C or 1C. Only the blue and red lands produce 1C; Heart of Yavimaya and Kjeldoran Outpost both produce C (and Lake of the Dead is unique as mentioned).

      People seem to think Alchemy is just spellbooks and specialize. Most Alchemy cards are simple effects we're already used to in Magic streamlined with the help of the computer, like not needing to shuffle or reveal for effects that would normally require them.

    As someone who has just finished Silmarillion (including the indexes), after first having tried over 20 years ago, well - I'm glad I did, but I won't be repeating that soon, as it requires a very specific mood to get through. (Please tell me it's easier with Unfinished Tales.)
    Also, Illusion & Reality is not that bad, at least it's "strictly better" than Verdigris, and those were times before Oxidize and Naturalize.

    • @Drecon84
      @Drecon84 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I started the Silmarillion 3 times. The first 2 I only read a little bit, but the third time I read the whole thing. It's just a very difficult to read book. The comparison to the bible is really apt. Both are badly written from a writer's skill position, but have good stories in them.

      ​@@Drecon84 I think I started two or three times before as well, never getting far past the Valaquenta. "The Rings of Power" made me read it to the end this time.I wouldn't say that it's "badly" written, it's just its ambition lie wholly elsewhere than in being an engaging novel. But it really engages the reader's imagination, since it's mostly a chronicle of names and events, so it's up to us to imagine how the characters' interactions could have looked like, or what they could have felt.
