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.
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
I am engaging with the comment section to say that I love Stump the Experts, and would also like to see more. (I would also like to say I would love to see more Canadian Highlander/North 100 content as well!)
James would quiz people on cards that haven't even been released yet. this was the same man who made coffee, pickle juice, and hot sauce + milk popsicles after all.
As someone who deeply dislikes Alchemy; I think you should be able to both enjoy and talk about it withuot it messing up your metrics. So here's some engagement to counter whatever it'a worth.
I haven’t watched the whole video yet, so maybe you figured this out, but I think Nelson was remembering Cold Storage when he kept coming up with 3 mana for a land that can save your creatures.
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.
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).
Spoiler: . . . . . . . . . Nelson should be declared the winner; he was the one who was Stumped, therefore he must be the expert as per the title of the show.
I haven’t watched Who in many years so the cards for recent characters don’t do much for me but the Daleks and Cybermen stuff look awesome. Also, I started seriously in Magic during Time Spiral so seeing new Time counter stuff is awesome.
As someone with an IPA Cube: It's an absolutely terrific draft format. And while it certainly looks quaint compared to modern power crept nonsense, it includes some true bangers.
40k and now Dr. Who are the first time I just did not read any of the cards. I was like "No, I'm just gonna live my life pretending these don't exist."
@@NintendoMasterNo1 I have not kept up with spoilers and releases since around Throne of Eldraine. I know a couple here and there, I own a Necron wh40k commander deck but I could not name a single card from any other deck except the commanders
@@NintendoMasterNo1 Why do you have to go to that extreme? You aren't under any obligation to memorize or buy every single one. Pretending they don't exist just seems petty.
I dont know if youve seen collegehumor/dropouts 'Umm, Actually', but what if you show them mostly correct cards and they have to pick out whats wrong on it?
Skyrider Patrol is such an interesting one. I thought of the same card that both Wheeler and Nelson were thinking of and I even played with the actual Skyrider Patrol yesterday... Weird how the other card just seems so much more like a Skyrider Patrol.
Most people are angry when they hear Alchemy, I'm just sitting here with hype and validation that Alchemy is even mentioned in a good tone. Woohoo Alchemy!
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.
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.
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.
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.
"Alchemy" is a curse word for most Arena players. It is bad enough that they count all NINE versions of Nazgul as a different card that you "get" to collect 4 copies of.
A+ group of experts and hosts but I will say without Kathleen, how am I supposed to know how to direct my conversation and interact with the algorithm this week? It's anarchy.
It's okay, Nelly, we forgive you for mentioning that you want an alchemy LOTR set. Just be prepared for when James has a segment of this show next time to center around Specialize.
if there is one thing they did not do a good job on the LOTR set it would be the lore and the IP, considering they got Aragorn, one of the most important protagonists completely wrong. What a waste of an Intellectual Property

Thank you for having me, James, Nelson, and Wheeler. It’s great to be here.
Thank you for having me, fillerchannel444. It’s great to be here.
Thank you for having me, nikomcpherson8394, it's great to be here
Phew! So glad someone said it! 😂
please tell James that we love to have him in any capacity
Wheelers “what up” got a genuine laugh out of me, keep the videos coming, we love you James
historic day indeed

I was not ready for a "No Johns" in my Magic podcast, but I am here for it.

Wish they do it like pictionary in the future. Would be fun to include other guests to draw the cards for wheeler and nelson to guess
Excellent, as always. Thank you!
Wheeler’s reaction to the very first card was great. Thank you for the laughs. Please keep Nelson here. He is great!

they say if you say alchemy three times in a row you summon an angry mob of mtg players
huh, it's only taken me one time

And yes, I know Cold Storage is an artifact, but it has that same kind of effect.

Thank you for being there guys! It was lovely to have you!
Several Doctor Who fans just made a mistake in their knitting upon hearing James pronounce "Dalek" wrong.
I agree with the guy from Barcelona! I could watch these every day too!
James, it has been a pleasure.
I haven’t watched Who in many years so the cards for recent characters don’t do much for me but the Daleks and Cybermen stuff look awesome. Also, I started seriously in Magic during Time Spiral so seeing new Time counter stuff is awesome.
Love the ingenuity of the final segment! I was just as clueless as the experts
I love Stump the Experts!

Nelson was on fire by the end there!
that's too many blue-green cards called skyrider and that have a flying manta on the art
The Core set one was a reference to the previous one.
I think around the 40k commander set was when my ability to recall the 20,000+ cards just started to fail
I mean 5 different Gandalfs don't help
40k and now Dr. Who are the first time I just did not read any of the cards. I was like "No, I'm just gonna live my life pretending these don't exist."

Delightful as always!

The best way to "read" the silmarillion is to get the audiobook read by martin shaw. Then repeat until you actually absorb the story.
Skyrider Patrol is such an interesting one. I thought of the same card that both Wheeler and Nelson were thinking of and I even played with the actual Skyrider Patrol yesterday... Weird how the other card just seems so much more like a Skyrider Patrol.
I was hoping y’all hadn’t recorded before the Gencon panel; there’s so much to talk about, but I’m sure you’ll be all over it next week
Played Skyrider Patrol in UG Hadana's Climb Aggro.

fun fact: despite nahiri existing in the set as an equipment synergy card, there are 0 equipment in war of the spark

We love this show!
DO MORE OF THESE PLEASE
Ben is a Northern Cardinal
37:30 he literally became an ai that could generate random nahiri planeswalkers at will
Why does tough cookie also *make* a food?!
some tricky ones this week! not that I can blame them with the unreleased cards :D
Vraska was a fun brawl commander
wow cant believe they talked about alchemy in a positive tone on a magic podcast! how dare they! /s
Alchemy was great for Baldur’s Gate on Arena and I would love that for Lotr.
IPA draft is fun
As foretold might be reprinted in doctor who

cascade is the other way to cheat suspend cards into play
Wheeler was really not on point here if he didn't remember that Death Mutation is 8 mana instead of 6.
Someone better tell Wheeler's husband that he's become a Christian, if his reaction to Davros is any indication :P
It's okay, Nelly, we forgive you for mentioning that you want an alchemy LOTR set. Just be prepared for when James has a segment of this show next time to center around Specialize.

The IP was done great, especially Aragorn. There's also tons of flavor wins throughout the set.
@@Mordalon Guess you must be colorblind lmao. Go ruin someone else's IP
Hey Nelson: Alchemy is terrible and I hate it.
Not all of it is bad, most of it is basic and simple.
