8:40 The red zone is where creatures go when they attack. At professional events in the year of our Lord 2000, there was an area at the top of the playmat that was red, and players were supposed to move creatures there while they were attacking. Supposedly, this made viewing easier for those watching at home on the old 640x480 displays. So a deck with "red zone" in the name was an attack deck.
My sincere hope is that newer magic players can find this video and can just bask in awe that the Prof got Brian Kibbler, a Magic HoF player, onto his show. What a get!
I just started Magic with my oldest son today. First day. Had a tonne of fun. Found this channel and this video found me. I loved the interactions. I am loving this game.
Also on Magic Online, when you go to combat, the red strip appears to show clearly which creatures are currently attacking. Attacking creatures get moved in the Red Zone. I'm not sure if this feature was around in 2000, or if it was added later though.
@@christopherlundgren1700 MODO wasn’t even in development then. I was playing on the Interactive Encyclopedia back then, WotC’s first attempt at online play.
The real question is which version? Arcade or the Genesis port? The arcade version would work also if the Prof's suit was red, and I think blue. Sucks cuz of the licensing nightmare the game is, we ll never get a Steam/Switch port of the Moonwalker arcade game.
Blastoderm should have stuck around for one more turn, as Fading instructs you to sacrifice the creature when you CAN’T remove a counter. This would have made a lethal crackback after removing the Parralax Wave. Vanishing is the Time Spiral “fixed” version of Fading which has you sacrifice the creature when the last counter is removed.
It seems to have changed the outcome of both games as well! 😬 great guests, gameplay, and production as always but it is always unfortunate to have something like this happen
I see Prof just got back from the grand opening of his new theme park with real dinosaurs where everything will always work perfectly and there's no danger for anyone.
I don't know if this is a reference, but back when Craig Ferguson did the Late, Late Show and he got censored, they'd put a small image (usually some country's flag) and some stereotypical voiceover (like pairing the French flag with "Ooh la la") as a replacement. That always cracked me up. This feels very much in that vein.
Hey, just wanted to point out you got Fading confused with Vanishing. With a fading creature, you must remove a counter each upkeep and you only sacrifice the creature if you are unable to do so. The Blastoderm in both games should have remained on the battlefield for an additional turn. The newer Vanishing keyword causes the permanent to sacrifice when the last counter is removed, which is how you played Fading here.
@@KingOfDoma Thor shouldn't play lightning bolts near the Professor; that'll trigger his ability to remind everyone that that's what causes magnetism in things.
Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats is the planeswalker deathtouch and also a wall of text. This spell costs 1 less to cast for each creature in your party. Flying, deathtouch, haste. Other creatures you control have deathtouch. Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker.
Also hooded Blightfang, which has "whenever a creature you control with deathtouch deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker." So it has an anthem style effect and isn't just limited to combat damage.
20:17 three cards have or give planeswalker deathtouch: Hooded Blightfang, Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats, and the tokens made by Vraska, Swarm's Eminence.
22:57 Blastoderm has fading, not vanishing! It checks if it can remove counters, not if it has any on it. There is a turn where Blastoderm stays on the battlefield with no counters, and gets sacrificed the next upkeep.

On this episode of Shuffle Gear and Play: The Professor takes a Jin Ghitaxis, Kyle climbs over a mountain to discover a Hill on the other side, and Voxy goes to Applebee's on a 5$ dollar budget ;p
This is, as of current, one of the best Magic gameplay videos out there. Absolutely love the variety of MTG formats and the engagement just adds the cherry on top. Excellent work Prof and team! As well as everyone invited to play!
19:32 You might be thinking of Hooded Blightfang, which gives all creatures you control with deathtouch the ability to destroy planeswalkers upon damage.
I would love to see you three play more games like that. Hard day at work today and I only relaxed after 30minutes of this video. Thanks a lot for the quality content end enjoyment!
This show really strikes the perfect balance between "friends hanging out" and "professional quality gameplay show." Many gameplay series go too hard one way or the other (but are still very good!), but this one just makes me happiest. Good job, Prof!
Every episode I think, "This episode was my favourite so far, how can it get any better". Then a new episode drops and I smile for roughly an hour. Thanks Prof.
Great game, so nostalgic seeing this! Just as an interesting note, Voxy could have used the parallax wave to exile her own creatures in response to it being destroyed, that way they would come back untapped, "canceling" her attack, at least partially to save specific creatures if she wanted
It's really boring, because I am writing this below every new episode of "shuffle up and play"...but I feel like that just every time...THANK YOU! for the great entertainment! Really enjoyed your guests and the video!
But "pass" and "turn" are also both 1 syllable words... And "p the t" changes the possible mishear from "pass the turd" to "pee the tea" and that's just an entirely different form of potty talk. I just can't abide this acronym speech pattern. No siree.
Miss play on the blastoderm, you sacrifice it when you can't remove fade counter, not when you remove the last ! The white version of blastoderm have this kind of mechanic, not the original green one ;)
Yep, unfortunately they resolved the ability as if it were vanishing not fading; which are identical abilities except for when you sacrifice the permanent.
@@davidgill9463 Well, to be fair, Fading was famous for being played wrong before Vanishing was printed. That basically was the reason why Vanishing came to be as the "fixed" version. Vanishing works how a lot of people especially in the casual realm played Fading anyway.
the fact that both kiblers, whilst being cocky, fell prey to the same little destructo blocker with the same jade leech was the true "chefs kiss" of this video XD fit well with the back in time theme too since it was a bizarrely perfect example of deja vu
Hello, In the second game, the first Blastoderm is badly played, it still had one attack left, the Fading ability says: this creature enters the battlefield with three fade counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from it. If you can't, sacrifice it. On that turn you could still remove a counter, so Blastoderm could attack on that turn.
Always love seeing magic being played and enjoy the guests and commentary along the way, but I wanted to say a huge shout out to the editor. The little touches and effects go a long way for making the content always that much more enjoyable. Great stuff
My friends and I just had the same "Questing Beast Pop Quiz" come up two days ago, the one ability we were struggling to recall correctly was the "damage dealt by attacking creatures can't be prevented" as it had to do with beating through protection effects lol. A relatable struggle for everyone involved
While it's a shame that Brian was ill, it's a fairer game between Voxy and Brian Kyle Kibler-Hill as both were unfamiliar with this format. I played in this time, it was immense fun to see how differently the decks were played by modern players.
The Patreon notifications really help me watch the videos as soon as possible after they post and shuffle up n play is one that I always want to watch right away
I love that most of these have been non commander. There is so much commander content already, this is a great way to see the wider breadth of what magic offers. Can't wait for the next episode!
That's not how fading works, KIBBS. Also, I noted two missed opportunities for the rebel deck, even though it didn't need them : in response to Parallax Wave being destroyed, Voxy could have removed counters to exile her board, so they would come back and avoid being destroyed in combat. And in response to the Rishadan Port "BM" from Prof... Kibbs, Voxy could have used the mana she floated on a rebel ability instead of just losing it, especially with the flexible one on Lin Sivvi. Or maybe use the Dust Bowl to destroy the Port, even. But hey, still a fantastic series to watch =)
Yes. They basically nerfed fading to vanishing. I also noticed the Parallax Wave thing. Though, I think only exiling the legend would have been enough to protect her. Pushing damage is not bad if you only lose 1 creature. On the floated mana though I disagree. Yes, she could have used that. But if there is not a specific creature you want on the board (and rebels are rather weak) you might prefer to keep your lands open so you can play stuff from your hand. Like the two split intants she had.
@@seizan88 With one mana, you could activate Lin Sivvi to get a 1-mana rebel, it's better than just losing the mana. But I checked back and I'm pretty sure she also has Rishadan Port at the point where she could have used Lin Sivvi.
The use of "BM" as gaming slang is much older than Twitch. I recall seeing it thrown around a lot in the early 00's to refer proscribed conduct while dueling in Diablo II (actions that the game engine itself didn't stop players from doing, but which was considered off limits in a duel). I always heard it stood for "bad mojo" though. I'm going to assume that it started out as "bad mojo" and that "bad manners" is a corrupton of the original. Could be the other way around for all I know, but that would be boring.
Not going to lie though... I unironically love defiant vanguard. Give that man a shield (indestructible) and (almost) nothing is safe since he survives his own trigger. Recently built a rebel deck just for laughs and vanguard is probably one of the most useful cards in it against other aggro
Didn’t understand at first, but as video went on it all made sense and extremely entertaining! Great improve by all! Liked the older simple cards, nice throwback! Keep this theme and 3-man team in your line-up 👍
17:50 Questing Beast *is* a legendary. There was something fun you could do with its anti-damage prevention ability in EDH, like playing a fog deck or something.
The "Red Zone" comes from the play mats that were used in the early days of Pro Tour coverage. There was a area in the middle of the table (literally color red) that was used for combat. Rather than just turning the cards sideways, they were also moved into the "Red Zone" to clearly indicate to the viewer that the creature was attacking.
Very few people pull off Prof's style but Prof. I'm glad he's around and making videos. I get a kick out of this stuff even if I don't fully understand the finer intricacies of paper Magic.
I think Voxy meant to say "just barely scraped by" at 37:30. Probably mixed it up in her brain with unscathed too. As a fellow dumb-dumb I totally understood.
20:17 The card Kyle is referring to is “Hooded Blightfang”, a 2(B) 1/4 snake with Deathtouch, “Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch attacks, each opponent loses one life and you gain 1 life.”, and finally, “Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker.”, aka planeswalker deathtouch for all creatures you control with deathtouch.
In Voxy's defence, bm has meant bad manners for AT LEAST a decade. I wanna say I heard it for the first time around the time Wrath of the Lich King was released. Edit: urban dictionary has an entry for it posted in 2007.
I can’t let it pass. BM has also meant bad manners for at least a decade. It was popular in a few video games involving competitive play. For example when playing StarCraft it is BM to lift your command center and fly it off into a corner of the map to avoid losing when you’ve basically already lost the game. Yes it also means Bowel Movement but they have existed simultaneously for a long time.
@@aeichhor777 well yeah I’m not disputing that. Just saying it’s also meant bad manners for fairly long now. Not as long, of course not. It’s just that they were acting like it was new and it’s not. Still thought the exchange was funny all in all
So great seeing these decks getting played! Though bewildering that the rebels player barely activated any of the rebels! Which is why the deck was soo good, tutor up all those rebels at instant speed and grow the board.
@championchap Okay that other guy is mad, but it was definitely a thing :P When people would do something in a game that was a dick move, it would be called BM, even game developers would put out bans for "BM", for people who were excessively offensive in chat and stuff.
@@mfmageiwatch repressed is fine, unless you are regularly airing that opinion. Btw why does it bother you if someone is bad at magic? Kyle never said he was good at magic and I believe he does actually have a degree related to science (I don't remember the specifics though). Just seems like a really strong opinion to have about a generally nice person on the internet. Apparently bm dates to around 2007 (urban dictionary, not a great source but the one I found haha), all mentions before that ok the site refer to bowel movement. So not quite 2010 but they weren't far off.
This was very nostalgic. Saw a big brain play here for Voxy at 21:57, she could have exiled her own creatures to protect them from bad blocks and have them open for another turn.
This was very fun. Hope you enjoy. And if you don't know who Brian Kibler is or the fact that we look VERY similar...sorry? (Also go easy on me I've literally never played Modern.)

Exactly that. I think the idea behind Fading was to have the number express how many turns you could attack with it?

This is, as of current, one of the best Magic gameplay videos out there. Absolutely love the variety of MTG formats and the engagement just adds the cherry on top. Excellent work Prof and team! As well as everyone invited to play!
This is the best gameplay show. I love seeing the different formats. I love the guests. Can't wait to see what else is in store
The way prof went "caw!" when the bird rebel came into play 😂😂😂😂
19:32
You might be thinking of Hooded Blightfang, which gives all creatures you control with deathtouch the ability to destroy planeswalkers upon damage.
Or possibly - Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats.
He has a similar damage destroys planeswalkers
I would love to see you three play more games like that. Hard day at work today and I only relaxed after 30minutes of this video. Thanks a lot for the quality content end enjoyment!
Mom, can we get a Brian Kibler?
We've got Brian Kibler at home (Kyle Hill)
This show really strikes the perfect balance between "friends hanging out" and "professional quality gameplay show." Many gameplay series go too hard one way or the other (but are still very good!), but this one just makes me happiest. Good job, Prof!
Every episode I think, "This episode was my favourite so far, how can it get any better". Then a new episode drops and I smile for roughly an hour.
Thanks Prof.
The aesthetic of professors set truly looks like a local library or community college club room. I absolutely love that. You’re such a legend.
Great game, so nostalgic seeing this! Just as an interesting note, Voxy could have used the parallax wave to exile her own creatures in response to it being destroyed, that way they would come back untapped, "canceling" her attack, at least partially to save specific creatures if she wanted
Was just looking for this. Could have saved all her creatures and had blockers next turn.
It's really boring, because I am writing this below every new episode of "shuffle up and play"...but I feel like that just every time...THANK YOU! for the great entertainment! Really enjoyed your guests and the video!
This is now my favourite MTG content on the Tubes. Thanks Prof.
Kyle, you forgot to say, "P the T" when your turn ends.
Love this series btw. Its good fun and very laid back with plenty of smiling/laughing.
But "pass" and "turn" are also both 1 syllable words... And "p the t" changes the possible mishear from "pass the turd" to "pee the tea" and that's just an entirely different form of potty talk. I just can't abide this acronym speech pattern. No siree.
Miss play on the blastoderm, you sacrifice it when you can't remove fade counter, not when you remove the last !
The white version of blastoderm have this kind of mechanic, not the original green one ;)
Yeah I caught that too. With the Blastoderm with zero fading counters still in play, Kyle would’ve won at 22:56. Fading is real weird like that.
Yep, unfortunately they resolved the ability as if it were vanishing not fading; which are identical abilities except for when you sacrifice the permanent.
@@haven2117 yes. Calciderm (white blastoderm) have vanishing 4 ;)
Who could have foreseen that having two mechanics that function identically but use counters slightly differently would lead to rules errors? Sigh
@@davidgill9463 Well, to be fair, Fading was famous for being played wrong before Vanishing was printed. That basically was the reason why Vanishing came to be as the "fixed" version. Vanishing works how a lot of people especially in the casual realm played Fading anyway.
the fact that both kiblers, whilst being cocky, fell prey to the same little destructo blocker with the same jade leech was the true "chefs kiss" of this video XD fit well with the back in time theme too since it was a bizarrely perfect example of deja vu
Prof... this might be the best one of these I've seen. 1) I played that horrible BM deck, 2) as an old guy the banter made me chuckle
Hello, In the second game, the first Blastoderm is badly played, it still had one attack left, the Fading ability says: this creature enters the battlefield with three fade counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from it. If you can't, sacrifice it. On that turn you could still remove a counter, so Blastoderm could attack on that turn.
Brian looks like he's going to welcome us to Jurassic Park
Very fun watch, love the chemistry you all have. I'm a new old player, and I learned quite a bit, thank you.
I love the chemistry everyone has with the Professor. This series has been great!
Always love seeing magic being played and enjoy the guests and commentary along the way, but I wanted to say a huge shout out to the editor. The little touches and effects go a long way for making the content always that much more enjoyable. Great stuff
22:43 blastorderm would have been around one more turn for attacks, as you only have to sac it from fading it you cannot remove a counter
My friends and I just had the same "Questing Beast Pop Quiz" come up two days ago, the one ability we were struggling to recall correctly was the "damage dealt by attacking creatures can't be prevented" as it had to do with beating through protection effects lol. A relatable struggle for everyone involved
While it's a shame that Brian was ill, it's a fairer game between Voxy and Brian Kyle Kibler-Hill as both were unfamiliar with this format.
I played in this time, it was immense fun to see how differently the decks were played by modern players.
The Patreon notifications really help me watch the videos as soon as possible after they post and shuffle up n play is one that I always want to watch right away
I can´t unsee Voxy cosplaying as Rogue.
At 44:10, everybody forgot that in the year of our Lord 2000, we still got mana burn...
I love Kyle he's so charismatic and strange
I really love this series. I don't play anything but commander, but seeing people play with premade decks of any sort is really fun.
so cool we got to see the scarlet witch go head to head with thor in this episode
Prof sets the table and everybody feeds off the vibes.
I love it.
Truly wonderfully crafted entertainment
I love that most of these have been non commander. There is so much commander content already, this is a great way to see the wider breadth of what magic offers. Can't wait for the next episode!
"Attacking is for blockers"
I lost it
I need more Shuffle up & Play! I haven't played the game in years, but this series reminds me of those good times playing with friends.
That's not how fading works, KIBBS.
Also, I noted two missed opportunities for the rebel deck, even though it didn't need them : in response to Parallax Wave being destroyed, Voxy could have removed counters to exile her board, so they would come back and avoid being destroyed in combat. And in response to the Rishadan Port "BM" from Prof... Kibbs, Voxy could have used the mana she floated on a rebel ability instead of just losing it, especially with the flexible one on Lin Sivvi. Or maybe use the Dust Bowl to destroy the Port, even.
But hey, still a fantastic series to watch =)
Yes. They basically nerfed fading to vanishing. I also noticed the Parallax Wave thing. Though, I think only exiling the legend would have been enough to protect her. Pushing damage is not bad if you only lose 1 creature. On the floated mana though I disagree. Yes, she could have used that. But if there is not a specific creature you want on the board (and rebels are rather weak) you might prefer to keep your lands open so you can play stuff from your hand. Like the two split intants she had.
@@seizan88 With one mana, you could activate Lin Sivvi to get a 1-mana rebel, it's better than just losing the mana. But I checked back and I'm pretty sure she also has Rishadan Port at the point where she could have used Lin Sivvi.
This series is so much fun to watch and very successfully hitting a niche in terms of game play footage. Congratulations on the show Professor!
BM has meant bad manners for at least 15 years now. I'd never heard of the other definition
i am loving this series more and more at each episode, keep up the amazing work!
The use of "BM" as gaming slang is much older than Twitch. I recall seeing it thrown around a lot in the early 00's to refer proscribed conduct while dueling in Diablo II (actions that the game engine itself didn't stop players from doing, but which was considered off limits in a duel). I always heard it stood for "bad mojo" though. I'm going to assume that it started out as "bad mojo" and that "bad manners" is a corrupton of the original. Could be the other way around for all I know, but that would be boring.
Oh yeah, It's ancient. No idea where they got the notion it's something new.
I first saw it used in original Starcraft in 98, which slightly predates Diablo II in 2000.
Gods this brings back memories. My first MtG event was a Mercadian Masques pre-release. Loved it
Not going to lie though... I unironically love defiant vanguard. Give that man a shield (indestructible) and (almost) nothing is safe since he survives his own trigger. Recently built a rebel deck just for laughs and vanguard is probably one of the most useful cards in it against other aggro
Didn’t understand at first, but as video went on it all made sense and extremely entertaining! Great improve by all! Liked the older simple cards, nice throwback!
Keep this theme and 3-man team in your line-up 👍
The prof is literally the best magic person in the world, he is too funny 😂✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼😫
I keep bumping into Kyle all over the internet and I absolutely love it. YT, Twitter, Facebook... just all over!
Voxy was such a great guest
17:50 Questing Beast *is* a legendary. There was something fun you could do with its anti-damage prevention ability in EDH, like playing a fog deck or something.
Seconds in, "Kyle Hill as Brian Kibler" has me dead!!
The "Red Zone" comes from the play mats that were used in the early days of Pro Tour coverage. There was a area in the middle of the table (literally color red) that was used for combat. Rather than just turning the cards sideways, they were also moved into the "Red Zone" to clearly indicate to the viewer that the creature was attacking.
Voxy really takes them out with style points
Very few people pull off Prof's style but Prof. I'm glad he's around and making videos. I get a kick out of this stuff even if I don't fully understand the finer intricacies of paper Magic.
I think Voxy meant to say "just barely scraped by" at 37:30. Probably mixed it up in her brain with unscathed too. As a fellow dumb-dumb I totally understood.
20:17 The card Kyle is referring to is “Hooded Blightfang”, a 2(B) 1/4 snake with Deathtouch, “Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch attacks, each opponent loses one life and you gain 1 life.”, and finally, “Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker.”, aka planeswalker deathtouch for all creatures you control with deathtouch.
So nice to see Thor and Jean Grey come battle it out. XD
The white streak in hair reminds me more of Rogue.
@@ohnosmoarlulcatz agreed. I have a vague memory of Jean also having a streak somewhere. Might be misremembering though.
@@ohnosmoarlulcatz she's actually cosplayed as rogue on her IG
In Voxy's defence, bm has meant bad manners for AT LEAST a decade. I wanna say I heard it for the first time around the time Wrath of the Lich King was released.
Edit: urban dictionary has an entry for it posted in 2007.
I can’t let it pass. BM has also meant bad manners for at least a decade. It was popular in a few video games involving competitive play. For example when playing StarCraft it is BM to lift your command center and fly it off into a corner of the map to avoid losing when you’ve basically already lost the game. Yes it also means Bowel Movement but they have existed simultaneously for a long time.
Bowel movement has been BM for at least 40 years.
@@aeichhor777 well yeah I’m not disputing that. Just saying it’s also meant bad manners for fairly long now. Not as long, of course not. It’s just that they were acting like it was new and it’s not. Still thought the exchange was funny all in all
@@aeichhor777 What's your point?
This brings back good memories for me. I smashed the regionals tournament in Nebraska that year with Fires of Yavimaya. No rebel deck stood a chance.
Voxy: "WE'RE RICH, WE'RE GOING TO APPLEBEE'S!"
Chili's Grill & Bar: D:
So great seeing these decks getting played! Though bewildering that the rebels player barely activated any of the rebels! Which is why the deck was soo good, tutor up all those rebels at instant speed and grow the board.
I'm just sayin' BM has meant bad manners for like 15 years. XD It's not a Twitch thing :P
@championchap Okay that other guy is mad, but it was definitely a thing :P
When people would do something in a game that was a dick move, it would be called BM, even game developers would put out bans for "BM", for people who were excessively offensive in chat and stuff.
This is so well produced!!! I love it!! binging the rest of these Shuffle Up & Play tonight
So glad you like it!
wait, why did Kyle go down to 19 when he already had a forest?
@@mfmageiwatch man that is a serious amount of repressed hatred for an online persona
@@mfmageiwatch repressed is fine, unless you are regularly airing that opinion.
Btw why does it bother you if someone is bad at magic? Kyle never said he was good at magic and I believe he does actually have a degree related to science (I don't remember the specifics though). Just seems like a really strong opinion to have about a generally nice person on the internet.
Apparently bm dates to around 2007 (urban dictionary, not a great source but the one I found haha), all mentions before that ok the site refer to bowel movement. So not quite 2010 but they weren't far off.
This was very nostalgic.
Saw a big brain play here for Voxy at 21:57, she could have exiled her own creatures to protect them from bad blocks and have them open for another turn.
From what I can tell, “The Professor” has 2 bits going. Never win, nor have knowledge of pop culture. Is there anything else I’ve missed?
Reading the card explains the card.
This was great . Nice guests as well. Editing made magic watchable . Thank you for the vids
Much appreciated!
