Hello there, this is my firxt time on this channel. Caught some of the write up on the thumb nail that I have followed briefly. Once again, Alyssa Mercante pulls the same routine on Smash JT she has done before! Had to have a yawn when I saw what Ms. Mercante alleged about Smash JT! We all know how this turns out! Smash JT comes out of this smelling like roses!!!! Thank you for your time on this matter & hope Smash JT doesn't have to spend too much time on this!
I am going to bring this up just because it has never been pointed out in the video: Magic: The Gathering had an organization that enforces the official rules called DCI, which has now been dissolved. They used to "maintain the tournament scene be healthy" by using the Banned and Restricted list to curb the power creep on all Official Tournament Formats. Commander, while very popular, is a casual format, NOT a official tournament format. The Commander Rules Committee is an independent organization that was created by the founders of the commander format. This is important because the WotC prints all these commander compatible cards with the idea of sending the message "we support casual formats." WotC has no purview or directive on the decisions made by the CRC on what is and what is not on the commander banned list. Therefore, even if the value of the cards they printed for commander dip thanks to the CRC Ban list, WotC might not be seen as responsible to the losses people who have these banned cards.
You know... The Protagonist of Star Wars Outlaws really likes to slide backwards and the horses of AC Shadows glides forwards. I think their model is Michael Jackson
I simply dont see a venue for compensation. If you're playing any format of magic, you're going to quickly be aware of its banlist. Which by its existence informs you that this is a thing that can happen. Yu-Gi-Oh has been a single format* game until fairly recently, and even when they have to drop emergency banlists because some tier-0 deck is ruining the format i dont recall hearing about any refunds or the like on a large scale. Now, granted Wizards having their HQ in California _might_ open them up to more liability, but frankly if it was going to happen we would have seen it around the bans that created the reserved list. I dont wanna dick-ride wizards, but with banlists being an integral part to most/all tcg's i think adding a financial penatly to companies for banning a card can be a VERY dangerous precident, that can lead to *VERY* toxic formats.
I think the issue is that the MtG's devs highly accepts the second-hand market while YGO's devs don't want to acknowledge it. An example of this for MtG is them putting out that they'll never reprint the Power 10, as the second-hand market would claim doing so would cause their value to plummet. The thing is that the second-hand market is just that, second-hand, and WotC has no control over it. The resellers are probably the ones that are complaining the most, as if those cards weren't banned so soon after release, they would've made a ton of money off of reselling singles. They're butt hurt that they lost out on the early release money, when it would've been used as a staple in tournament play. On the other hand, YGO's second-hand market is fairly stable in regards to its staples, even if they get reprinted. The reprint won't have that specific glossy finish that 10yo original print did. If we use one of the oldest staples still used, Effect Veiler that was originally printed in 2010, the current price of it goes as low as a dollar for common printings from structure decks up to $250 for the Starlight Rare print from Eternity Code in 2020. Even its original UTR print in Duelist Revolution is currently going for around $150. Konami very rarely bans cards within the first 6 months of print. The most recent list hit Fiendsmith's Lacrima for being too good of an extender while having a burn effect to be a time card. Lacrima released 2 months ago at common. The last time something got banned this quick was during the PePe Pend wars, when cards like Performage Plushfire, a 3-month old card, and Performapal Monkeyboard, which was limited a month after release, got hit because of how bad the format was becoming. At the end of the day, those bans were better for the game and the resellers can cope and seethe.
Sliver deck with a Sliver Overlord, and the old artifact that reduces the cost of abilities for monsters. Nothing like fishing your queen from your deck, then churning out dozens of sliver tokens, then constantly attacking lol.
I actually managed to pull off that combo just last week! Although instead of a Heartstone, I had to use Basel Sliver, Gemhide Sliver, and Heart Sliver. [2] -> Create Sliver; Tap, add [1]; Sacrifice, add [2] Repeat for Infinite Slivers! Rawr!
If people are gonna sue magic for card drop tarmogoyph should be the one people look at because due to modern horizons the card droped all the way to 5 bucks
Magic the gathering was PEAK with 4th edition rules. I stopped collecting magic cards back in '99 I tore up the tournament scene with a Control/counterspell/stasis deck backed by Sera Angels. (white/blue) backed up with millstones and cursed racks to burn my opponents deck out. (and feldon's cane's to keep my own deck alive)
The most insane was probably the first tournament. 40 cards, 5 of any card. No limits on card by type. My deck at the time was 5 Time twster, 5 time walk, 5 wheel of fortune, a couple black lotus, moves, sol rings and.... 1 lightning bolt. One turn win every time. 😂 usually before the 7th lightning bolt.
Hey about the commander segment I don't think anyone could sue Wizards(makers of mtg). This is due to people who banned the cards the Rules committee not being apart of Wizards and being their own entity with control of the commander format.
There are multiple things at play here. One, is the thing you mention, that Wizards (wotc) are not directly in control of the banning of cards in commander, that is a fan committee that governs the format. Second, wotc does not officially have anything to do with the secondary market, they are not part of it, part of this is to shield them from speculations such as bans affecting value and such, I speculate to shield them from being sued in regards to secondary market speculations, however they do still observe the secondary market, hence why last time that there was a huge uproar they created the reserved list. There are likely more things at play, but for those not in the know, those are two major points that seems to have been glossed over by a lot of people.
I usually ignore newer cards unless they are snakes then i look at them as i like snakes and maybe i can make a new snake deck. I only have two Snake EDH decks a Golgari Snake deck and a SImic one which is competitive and has Kaseto Orochi Archmage as the commander because simic value engine goes out the roof. I also have a Phage the Untouchable competitive deck that i call Phage's Menstruation but others probably would call it The Storm that is Approaching as it is a Control Storm deck. And for those that know Magic yes that sounds like a oxymoron but in reality it's a paradox as despite what you may think saying it's a control storm deck does not contradict as it is both a control deck and a storm deck as competitively it is played like a control deck that spirals into a storm deck as the game goes on. Now you an play it like a pure storm deck if you wish but that tanks the power level of the deck to where you are just now playing high power casual barely scraping the realm of competitive With enough conviction and determination to look through the cards database you can come up with just about any idea nd make it competitively viable for EDH but tournament viability is different as in tournaments there are time limits per rounds which is a reason why you don't really see Stax decks in tournaments as while they are competitive yes they just slow the game too much and it goes to time. Another thing about Stax decks are there is no universal Stax card so you have to know the meta game as there will always be something that escapes your Stax making the deck either brick or give the win to someone else not yourself. Stax is the hardest thing to play in Competitive EDH however it is the most fun as you have to actually know the game over all to effectively do well playing Stax Also people like you Andrew is why i shove a Mirror of Fate and Elixir of immortality in my deck so now my exile zone is used as a resource as well which can easily turn into playing your entire deck from exile if ya have enough mana. Also major downside is that Mirror of Fate can only get cards back from Exile if they are face up exiled not face down exiled and another major downside is you exiling one of the two pieces before they hit the field as you can exile cards from the hand or the deck itself. And to my knowledge Mirror of Fate is one of the only cards that can bring back from exile but again it with Elixir of Immortality you are just playing your entire deck from exile so there is no much they can do but if you have infinite mana with a card draw spell you just win on the spot as you can have a loop that plays your entire deck onto the field I am a degenerate when it comes to Magic as i can theory craft bad cards or play strategies into being competitively viable and EDH makes it even more fun as there are near endless theory crafting potential with decks yet i still hate this ban as if you ban fast mana casual bad decks suffer from it and become less viable to be played
Just realized the funny thing about Interspecies Reviewers... if blogs and sex reviews are considered sex work.. then wouldn't the show basically be a bunch of sex workers going around reviewing other sex workers.
@@LegalMindset my fave "Incel" moment recently.. "ThatStarWarsGirl"... got called an incel,.... while she was PREGNANT. yeah, calling a pregnant woman an "incel"... lol.
I didn't get hit with the woke crap until a blue haired ninny got my deck banned at an No Ban/All Cards Allowed Tournament. I had been collecting cards since Beta and stopped at Mercadian Masks and had a Counter/Unlimited Sliver Deck I wiped her out with on turn two with a lucky hand draw. She whined so hard claiming I had special privileges because I was there when Magic got started and had cards no one else could get. Sooooo the judges ruled my deck was outside the "spirit of the competition" and they gave me a $50 gift voucher for the store as compensation. The grand prize was two booster boxes. At least she didn't win.
That's ridiculous. They had terribly written rules if that's the case. DO NOT tell players they can use anything they have unless you are willing to see someone pull out cards with OLD stuff like Horsemanship. ANY time you tell players they can use ANYTHING without caveats, YOU WILL see older than dirt cards that've been banned from standard for YEARS.
@@marhawkman303 It was insane. But I try to often be a good sport about things and I didn't want to throw a scene and ruin everyone else's enjoyment. I spent $50 on two RPG books I wanted so I still felt like I came out ahead.
They estimated $150,000,000 in value was lost among just mana vault value between private owners vendors and LGS (local game stores). That was just one of the banned cards…
I've gotten out of magic after that one magic creator had the Pinkertons sent after him after he accidentally revealed new cards early. Apparently, he got them early from a local card shop and didn't know he couldn't use them for a video.
Your missing a big legal issue with the MTG bans: the RC publicly stated that such bans where considered and discussed with WotC for over a year. During that time, WotC pushed a lot of products hinged on these very same chase cards that knew could/would be banned. Furthemore, the RC is an "independent' body (not contract with Habro I guess) so WotC may be using this shady figure to create OP products and then allows an independent body do the bannings so they can design new OP cards, push them and repeat the cycle.
I stepped away form MTG back at the 10th edition, Been playing and collecting since the Revised edition was on the shelves. I've no idea the state of current MTG
Except the commander rules committee (the group that comes up with edh bans) isn't an official part of WotC but are instead completely fan based. So WotC can't be held liable for any bans the rules committee comes up with.
The rules committee reasoning was also kind of BS as well… I have like 10+ commander decks raging from power level 5 upto boarder line CEDH decks… so their argument of wanting to keep it more casual is kind of shit… in my 8-9 power level pods these cards were never an issue and I only ever put them in these decks… I think communication among players is the issue!
People aren't hating on UBI enough for the ninja girl. Her design is ridiculous.... also... they fail at distinguishing between Chinese and Japanese, and some of her stuff is using Chinese aesthetics.
I started playing MtG in Middle School into HS (Beta era). I quit during Onslaught (college) then came back during mirrodin and left again before the first Ravnica block. I sold all my cards to get married in 2007 (4 sets of power 9 etc) I paid for a wedding with it almost 20 years ago. Today? I could buy a house in cash. Also I was the Counter/Burn... Control player. I wanted everyone to be miserable when the played me (god complex growing up) so i loved permission decks you have to ask permission for your spells to resolve. I left paper because they got really woke and the only card I agree with its Yeeting from existence is Invoke Prejudice. The rest of the "perma" banned cards they can go F off.
11:51 It's funny, I got timed out yesterday in stream chat for saying exactly what this letter just pointed out... about the not being defamation in NY or CA, and Anti-SLAPP... unsure if it was automod or if a mod actually timed me out.
WotC has gotten super woke since Kaladesh, I'd say with the Chandra and Nissa retcon. Chandra was interested in Gideon in her novel but 2016 warped so much. I still play/collect religiously but story has gone to shit and the recent Bans has fucked the market up so badly. Awesome that you played MTG. I do not agree with the WotC liability on the bans, but they are for sure going to suffer in the long run as these cards are useless for reprint. They have balls to allow the rules committee to axe these cards.
Never pegged Andrew as a Pheldegryff pilot. 😂 Now I really want to play Commander with you! Also, power creep is insane as someone who has played MTG for 12 years.
1. Truly epic when you can use "$2 Words" to tell someone to go F themselves. 2. Back in the Olden Days of MTG , I knew a person that made a 1/1 Goblin deck just to slaughter opponents and make them rage. 3. "You keep using that word. But I don't think it means what you think it means." - Princess Bride
If you were playing Competitive Mercadian Masques, you were doing a Rebels deck lol. Affinity was Mirrodin. And oh my god, that block was so OP. Poor Kamigawa block got absolutely wrecked. Beautiful set, horrible mechanics. EDH is awesome though. I quit magic when WotC started making commanders that just negated entire archetypes. It just got way less fun for me because it locked out a lot of fun things for me. They were just so OP.
you know, the funny thing, i play some mmo's (well, 1 now, dont play wow anymore) one thing i found kinda ironic, it was the girl gamers that were wearing the outfits that paul tassi would be outraged over, meanwhile the guys were wearing normal or goofy stuff. small sample size to be true, just thought it a little funny that the inverse of what i was expecting happened in my case also, fable did an amazing job with a karma system, while letting the player make their own choices if they wanted to be good or evil, give control back to the player, esp if the game is based on being an "outlaw" keyword there is "inspired" just like all those fake movies to get people on the edge of their seats saying "inspired by real events" they can say this if they take one kernal of truth, and make up everything else, like "was there ever a black person in japan? yes? ok, he will now be our samurai lead in our next game" and one other thing, people shouldnt want to be considered an employee of twitch, then they could force you to do things like ad reads, or not to speak poorly of twitch even if twitch is clearly in the wrong, its not worth the "ability to sue"
What?! Legacy mono red burn is bad?! It's my favorite thing to throw at people! I mean, I suppose it's gotten better over time. I can usually get a win within the first 3-5 rounds.
Even if she was doing it For Academic Purposes (FAP). She is making money off of that research for her sex blog. Therefore, she is having sex for money. I will disagree with the definition of incel. The "in" half of that means involuntary. Not really a lifestyle choice. Either way you are correct that the people using it aren't doing so accurately. It's becone just an insult for those they don't like.
Magic was always "woke" as you say, but it became corporate, commodified, and disingenuous. You enjoyed Khans? Congratulations, Alesha, who smiles at death is a trans 13yo who'd absolutely murder those that went against her as leader of Mardu. You can't swing a bad take without hitting something "woke" in MTG history. It's when they stopped making the game as a story itself and self contained and started trying to copy other games and media (hearthstone, marvel, Disney etc) that it went dropped from this is cool to corporate out of touch "this is what they want right? If it's not, we'll tell them what they want."
Follow up, promissory estoppel doesn't apply here due to the nature of the game and most importantly previously set precedent, where people have in the past attempted this exact thing over previous bans and reprints and failed every single time.
"SW Outlaws received good reviews from professional critics but many gamers gave it 0/10" Yeah, and both of those things don't matter. Bad reviews don't make the stock fall, and good reviews don't make it rise. Sales do both of those things, and sales were abysmal. Also, not for nothing, but how many "gamers" gave it a 10 because of the agenda? And how many others gave it 4 and 5 due to bugs, bad gameplay, bad story and boring world? 😮 4 is not a 0, but it's a bad score. Also nobody really cares if Yosuke was really a samurai. People care about how he is portrayed (rap music, stepping on heads of defeated enemies, slaughtering Japanese people) as well as the fact that people wanted a Japanese samurai. Unlike Yosuke there was actual white people on record who were granted a title of Samurai. Do you think the outrage would be less if the protagonist was a European? More, probably, because the leftists would also join in - they have no balls to criticize Yosuke, but they would immediately pile onto a white protagonist.
The main crux of the pushback against Ma’am Solo and Ya-SUE-kay is people know why they were put in there: To check a box for ESG loans. And when you do that over a long period of time, people are going to sense the disingenuous nature of the inclusion. And history has shown that when you put so much emphasis on “being inclusive” you do so at the expense of everything else, thus produce a bad product nobody wants to buy. Thats why I tell the coping gamers that DEI/ESG is the reason Concord failed as hard as it did.
I stopped paying attention to the overall ratings entirely. I often gave games the absolutely lowest possible score (yeah , I'm a part of the problem) , just to offset all the industry-shills or when it had something inexcusable in them (I'm well aware that most of the 0/10 scores get removed). The best way to gauge whether something is good or not is to skim through the player-written reviews and see if there's some common point about the game.
Except the commander rules committee (the group that comes up with edh bans) isn't an official part of WotC but are instead completely fan based. So WotC can't be held liable for any bans the rules committee comes up with.

Also people like you Andrew is why i shove a Mirror of Fate and Elixir of immortality in my deck so now my exile zone is used as a resource as well which can easily turn into playing your entire deck from exile if ya have enough mana. Also major downside is that Mirror of Fate can only get cards back from Exile if they are face up exiled not face down exiled and another major downside is you exiling one of the two pieces before they hit the field as you can exile cards from the hand or the deck itself. And to my knowledge Mirror of Fate is one of the only cards that can bring back from exile but again it with Elixir of Immortality you are just playing your entire deck from exile so there is no much they can do but if you have infinite mana with a card draw spell you just win on the spot as you can have a loop that plays your entire deck onto the field
I am a degenerate when it comes to Magic as i can theory craft bad cards or play strategies into being competitively viable and EDH makes it even more fun as there are near endless theory crafting potential with decks yet i still hate this ban as if you ban fast mana casual bad decks suffer from it and become less viable to be played

People aren't hating on UBI enough for the ninja girl. Her design is ridiculous.... also... they fail at distinguishing between Chinese and Japanese, and some of her stuff is using Chinese aesthetics.
I started playing MtG in Middle School into HS (Beta era). I quit during Onslaught (college) then came back during mirrodin and left again before the first Ravnica block.
I sold all my cards to get married in 2007 (4 sets of power 9 etc) I paid for a wedding with it almost 20 years ago. Today? I could buy a house in cash. Also I was the Counter/Burn... Control player. I wanted everyone to be miserable when the played me (god complex growing up) so i loved permission decks you have to ask permission for your spells to resolve.
I left paper because they got really woke and the only card I agree with its Yeeting from existence is Invoke Prejudice. The rest of the "perma" banned cards they can go F off.
11:51 It's funny, I got timed out yesterday in stream chat for saying exactly what this letter just pointed out... about the not being defamation in NY or CA, and Anti-SLAPP... unsure if it was automod or if a mod actually timed me out.
55:52 Another good outlaw game example is Red Dead Redemption, not having played the sequel I can't comment on the sequel
WotC has gotten super woke since Kaladesh, I'd say with the Chandra and Nissa retcon. Chandra was interested in Gideon in her novel but 2016 warped so much. I still play/collect religiously but story has gone to shit and the recent Bans has fucked the market up so badly. Awesome that you played MTG. I do not agree with the WotC liability on the bans, but they are for sure going to suffer in the long run as these cards are useless for reprint. They have balls to allow the rules committee to axe these cards.
Never pegged Andrew as a Pheldegryff pilot. 😂
Now I really want to play Commander with you!
Also, power creep is insane as someone who has played MTG for 12 years.
Bit surprised that Andrew Esq. is a MtG nerd. Wonder if he has any experience with the original iteration of Legend of the Five Rings.
1. Truly epic when you can use "$2 Words" to tell someone to go F themselves.
2. Back in the Olden Days of MTG , I knew a person that made a 1/1 Goblin deck just to slaughter opponents and make them rage.
3. "You keep using that word. But I don't think it means what you think it means." - Princess Bride
Honestly I would watch Legal Mindset Vtuber streams
She’s a tribesmen if you’re curious
In fact a lot of these lefty culture warriors are
Can you comment on if a class action is possible as they knowingly caused financial harm with estimates up to 100 million or more
Every time a cardboard stockmarket bro cries about his "portfolio" losing value an angel gets its wings.
If you were playing Competitive Mercadian Masques, you were doing a Rebels deck lol. Affinity was Mirrodin. And oh my god, that block was so OP. Poor Kamigawa block got absolutely wrecked. Beautiful set, horrible mechanics. EDH is awesome though. I quit magic when WotC started making commanders that just negated entire archetypes. It just got way less fun for me because it locked out a lot of fun things for me. They were just so OP.
I followed paul tassi when he was reporting on how destiny 2 was goin down hill but now he's just tarded
I miss Bangkok.
Black and Red Deck.... My Man!
I wonder why the phrase hot Latina 🥵 didn’t show what you were looking for Andrew
you know, the funny thing, i play some mmo's (well, 1 now, dont play wow anymore) one thing i found kinda ironic, it was the girl gamers that were wearing the outfits that paul tassi would be outraged over, meanwhile the guys were wearing normal or goofy stuff. small sample size to be true, just thought it a little funny that the inverse of what i was expecting happened in my case
also, fable did an amazing job with a karma system, while letting the player make their own choices if they wanted to be good or evil, give control back to the player, esp if the game is based on being an "outlaw"
keyword there is "inspired" just like all those fake movies to get people on the edge of their seats saying "inspired by real events" they can say this if they take one kernal of truth, and make up everything else, like "was there ever a black person in japan? yes? ok, he will now be our samurai lead in our next game"
and one other thing, people shouldnt want to be considered an employee of twitch, then they could force you to do things like ad reads, or not to speak poorly of twitch even if twitch is clearly in the wrong, its not worth the "ability to sue"
YOU’RE ALSO AN MTG PLAYER!!!!! 🤯
I’ll have to unsubscribe and resubscribe 5 times, because I got no other button to push!!! 😆😆😆
MEGA BASED!!!
Whats up with the cartoon?
29:40 better to use Scry fall
I thought the suit was part of your body😮
TH-cam didn't notify me of your stream.
You should start a class-action lawsuit or something.

What?! Legacy mono red burn is bad?! It's my favorite thing to throw at people!
I mean, I suppose it's gotten better over time. I can usually get a win within the first 3-5 rounds.
Storm doesn’t kick your teeth in?
@@__-nd5qi I've never personally had a problem with Storm.

Even if she was doing it For Academic Purposes (FAP). She is making money off of that research for her sex blog. Therefore, she is having sex for money.
I will disagree with the definition of incel. The "in" half of that means involuntary. Not really a lifestyle choice. Either way you are correct that the people using it aren't doing so accurately. It's becone just an insult for those they don't like.

Magic was always "woke" as you say, but it became corporate, commodified, and disingenuous. You enjoyed Khans? Congratulations, Alesha, who smiles at death is a trans 13yo who'd absolutely murder those that went against her as leader of Mardu. You can't swing a bad take without hitting something "woke" in MTG history. It's when they stopped making the game as a story itself and self contained and started trying to copy other games and media (hearthstone, marvel, Disney etc) that it went dropped from this is cool to corporate out of touch "this is what they want right? If it's not, we'll tell them what they want."
Follow up, promissory estoppel doesn't apply here due to the nature of the game and most importantly previously set precedent, where people have in the past attempted this exact thing over previous bans and reprints and failed every single time.
No , because , im a Brazilian Luka Fan
"SW Outlaws received good reviews from professional critics but many gamers gave it 0/10"
Yeah, and both of those things don't matter. Bad reviews don't make the stock fall, and good reviews don't make it rise. Sales do both of those things, and sales were abysmal.
Also, not for nothing, but how many "gamers" gave it a 10 because of the agenda? And how many others gave it 4 and 5 due to bugs, bad gameplay, bad story and boring world? 😮
4 is not a 0, but it's a bad score.
Also nobody really cares if Yosuke was really a samurai. People care about how he is portrayed (rap music, stepping on heads of defeated enemies, slaughtering Japanese people) as well as the fact that people wanted a Japanese samurai.
Unlike Yosuke there was actual white people on record who were granted a title of Samurai. Do you think the outrage would be less if the protagonist was a European? More, probably, because the leftists would also join in - they have no balls to criticize Yosuke, but they would immediately pile onto a white protagonist.
The main crux of the pushback against Ma’am Solo and Ya-SUE-kay is people know why they were put in there:
To check a box for ESG loans.
And when you do that over a long period of time, people are going to sense the disingenuous nature of the inclusion. And history has shown that when you put so much emphasis on “being inclusive” you do so at the expense of everything else, thus produce a bad product nobody wants to buy.
Thats why I tell the coping gamers that DEI/ESG is the reason Concord failed as hard as it did.
I stopped paying attention to the overall ratings entirely. I often gave games the absolutely lowest possible score (yeah , I'm a part of the problem) , just to offset all the industry-shills or when it had something inexcusable in them (I'm well aware that most of the 0/10 scores get removed).
The best way to gauge whether something is good or not is to skim through the player-written reviews and see if there's some common point about the game.
Except the commander rules committee (the group that comes up with edh bans) isn't an official part of WotC but are instead completely fan based. So WotC can't be held liable for any bans the rules committee comes up with.
