Critikal's video is hilarious just because of how long he has been collecting, his commander deck was pretty much built to showcase how he owned every kaladesh masterpiece. His boardstate might have costed an entire car in value. Jokingly flaunting his collection but it wasn't like he was pubstomping with a CEDH deck, he just looked like he was vibing, like your rich uncle busting out his expensive car for a test drive. It was a really funny video, good content, really think it could only be positive for the game.
Richard's point about the recording aspect is super valid. Hell, I once participated in a cEDH game on stream for my club (no prizes, no stakes) and realized when I watched it back that I had accidentally cheated. But no one noticed in the moment, and we wouldn't have been able to know without the recording.
Last week I said that Aboreal Grazer into Flare of Cultivation could be busted and hopefully bring back Ponza. Some kind commenter said "Playing two bad cards in your deck instead of good cards, on the off chance they happen to be in your opening hand at the same time is actual magical Christmas land." Lol. Imagine having cards that actually synergize turn one being a thing. It's almost like that's been a thing forever.
as someone that owns a webcam mtg server with a couple thousand people in it. the way we would run events with prizing is we would offer prizes to be randomly raffled out to all participants that played the full event regardless of record to discourage cheating, this normally worked pretty well
Cheating turned out to be a problem in webcam Cedh tournaments. The webcam cedh turnout has dropped off by around half since there were multiple instances of cheating. This caused irl tournaments turn out to keep going up, though.
@@TheEvolver311 I think Richard's point about online cheating being easier to catch is especially salient. People will point towards all of the cheaters being caught on webcam and use it as evidence that the incidence rate of cheating is higher in webcam. However, what's more likely the case, is that the incidence rate is similar in webcam and in-person, but the detection rate is way higher in webcam, resulting in more cheaters being caught.
Yep. On non-tournament web cam games. I have personally used the spree mechanic wrong BECAUSE I WAS LIED TO, And also drawn from the top with river song out because I forgot(started using a coin to keep track). The fact there are no refs to explain or handle very large complex board interactions or people to explain things or ask causes tons of issues. Especially when someone who thinks they are right is very confident and argumentative. @@jeffe2267 But cheating on web cam is very VERY high with no anti-cheat rules but very low with them. Hardest things to catch would be. Priority. Stops. Complex interactions. False shuffling/pregame deck stacking. Drawing from 2nd or 3rd etc instead of top deck (hard to tell on cams WHERE they draw from) I have used a deck with effects that let me essentially "fateseal" people every turn in a different way (totally lost +ransack effects+spy network) and had suspicious amounts of different cards being played. The amount if people that dc then come back 3 seconds later with a wincon/answer. Hand sizes being inconsistent each turn etc. People will cheat. Others will be banned for eating a chip/petting a cat and moving their hand out of frame etc. I expect it to be VERY hard to not have 1/4th of people removed for breaking the rules.
@@jeffe2267 First off, I wasn't commenting on Richard's comments on the topic. I was commenting regarding what the OP said. I didn't read the rest of your post given it was predicated on "I think Richard meant...." when again that wasn't what I was commenting in regards to.
I wouldn’t say they “corrected” the assassins creed games. More so that over the years, they kinda just fragmented the fanbase of the series between those that either prefered the older, more straightforward AC style games and the newer WC games that play like a typical open world RPG and isn’t even really about Templars and assassins anymore. It definitely has that overall large silent majority on its side (the kinda people that’ll buy the latest version of the super popular games: Call of duty, sports games, Mortal kombat) but for actual entrenched people, you either LOVE the series or can’t stand what it’s doing anymore. It’s all very contentious
asscreed was never good, its been yearly AAA slop since 2007. the franchise has always been creatively bankrupt and embarrassingly simple in terms of gameplay and design and it even spawned a widely-used derisive term to describe its own poor game design. the games started incorporating those open world and "RPG" elements because at the end of the day ubisoft doesn't publish art they publish products. they chase trends and pump out slop like every other major western AAA publisher.
I saw a dude playing sultai selfmill/dredge kind of deck that used stichers suppliers, gravecrawler, bloodghast, narcomebas and the ub zombie that revives itself as fuel for blue and black flares. It used the blue one drop adventurer fairy that the sorcery side mills too. So the deck had like a BUNCH of one drops plus self reviving creatures to fuel the flares, and finished with vengevines, which were easy to trigger with so many one drops. I dnt have a list but omg it looked SPICY. Its on pleasent kenobi video of UG tron.
Richard maybe we need a MTGGoldfish webcam tournament. If you build it they will come! I think getting decent value for entering is the key to making it work/worth it though.
Well, now that we have another Collasal Dreadmaw I think it's time for a meme deck using all 3 versions and calling it Dreadfull or 12 Maw, or 12 Dread.
Okay..I agree 12 Maw sounds better... but Dreadfull identify how bad the deck is lol. Man... I need to work out the ramp package version. And maybe a cheaty version.
I'm so so on Richard's side in terms of competitive paper Magic being able to be facilitated online. For all the reasons he gave - particularly wider format availability. Especially given the serious lack of RCQ/PTQs in my part of the country. Who knows, maybe there is hope for competitive paper Magic and the Judge program with people like Huey in the organized play dept at Wizards. Wizards and affiliates MUST be able to solve this set of problems; they are a billion dollar company.
Even friends I play with for fun have had a compulsion to cheat. Some people don't care/can't mentally handle losing at anything. The type of kids that would cry and quit when they became "it" during tag.
@@doodimgood yeah even I've had the temptation from time to time. Maybe I can pay one less mana for this card and no one will notice. It's just not worth it at the end of the day. Even if you aren't playing with friends, it's just a game. Everyone will most likely have a greater net enjoyment if you are honest.
Guide of Souls combos super well with other energy cards from MH3 where you can drop it turn 1 and turn 2 make it a 3/4 flyer. May even get a lot of power on the field potentially if you chain an amped raptor into something else turn 2.
Crim’s right that people will cheat but I’m with Richard - I think if you flatten the prize pool out enough and make it appeal to the masses it won’t matter. Couple that with harsh punishments for cheating and I think it’s a great idea
I caught an opponent cheating at my mh3 prerelease. He mulliganed to 6 then proceeded to draw 8 cards and put 1 back so he would keep 7 then attempted to start gameplay immediately and I was like hold up how many cards in hand? Then he very quickly put one back. He knew what he was doing. No way I’m trusting a webcam lol.
As to Assassin's Creed, I very much will want some of the cards, but I also have no interest in buying 7 card booster packs. I think I'll just get singles, cause I don't want to bother with packs with 1/2 the cards for the same price.
Nadu just reads like another classic design mistake. As powerful as the effect is, the real sin is the lands entering untapped; I legitimately cannot fathom why they would do this, one would hope design would be able to identify how indefensibly pushed the text on this bird is. Oh well, I guess that aligns with their vision for Modern. Screw balance, PUSH. THE. CARDS. FARTHER.
Yeah, a lot of people didn’t catch on to the “twice per turn” effect being tied to each creature but for me it was the lands entering untapped that i didn’t catch onto and that just makes it so much stupider
Pretty sure they knew well what they were doing. Some designs can lead to unforeseen broken interactions, but this is straightforward enough they'd have thought about it ahead.
Would a leyline that keeps people from free casting spells be too broken? Like think, "Leyline of Nullification" 2 Gen 2 Colorless, start with it in play if it's in your opening hand. If a Player would cast a spell and no mana was spent to cast that spell, counter it?\
@@samogburn2662 Maybe make it white instead of colorless so there's more restriction but honestly like.. I don't see how this would affect much else other than Scam/free spells?
@@allnightgamer792 That's true, I guess the bigger shakeups would be in older formats. Maybe be the reason wizards doesn't print this kind of leyline is because it would wreck vintage with all the moxen..?
Since historic is basically empty, it’s a much less competitive format. It’s mostly people playing jank that couldn’t make it in timeless, but revolves around cards not in explorer (notably, quite a bit of alchemy, but not always). It’s a chill format for when I want to take a break from grinding but also I don’t want to play brawl.
Old school players have been doing online paper tournaments for years. I think it's a great idea. It'd allow more people to play formats they enjoy with their paper decks they've invested in.
Ive played way more Historic just cause every match up in Timeless was Show and Tell or mono-black necro And Historic is actually a more fun format for brewing competive powerful decks while pioneer isn't
Right. I'm amused that they can't seem to figure out that Historic is a format without the super busted Timeless cards. And the Explorer card pool is just too limited to get me interested.
Hope to see some nut play nadu in a puresteel paladin deck just for why not and proceed to create value out of any equipment available. Remember those decks are still playing lavaspur boots out of Urza saga, which reads 1:trigger nadu. Otherwise, you can just grab a hammer and hit for 11+
If you play for any prize at all mtg people get super sweaty and try to optimize. Im talking fnm, cube drsft, pre release...people cant just play for fun with a prize out there
That's not the point they were making. It's the expectation that people will play sweaty in a competitive setting. Prizes are a good incentive to get people to play in those events.
Im here for the one piece tcg chatter🔥🔥 that game has some legs. I think it is synergistic to magic in many ways. cedh is based af but in the 1v1 classic formats i enjoy one piece over standard
Historic still deserves a place, imho. I brew some absolute jank decks with too many mythics and rares sometimes that I know I won't get a chance to actually try in timeless
My read on Assassin's Creed is, while a lot of people who like it, not many LOVE it. Fallout has a lot of people who love it, so it'll be interesting if just having a lot of passive fans is enough to sell the set.
AC will sell very well. Lots of good commanders already and video game magic cards have been very successful. Not to mention, hype for new Game is strong.
I think it's a bit early for the Nadu ban talk. The card is good, but this was prerelease weekend. Let's see how the meta adapts to the card. However, it does help prove that Modern Horizons 3 is gonna be very similar to it's predecessors in power level. Especially since they pre-banned 20 cards in Historic and one in Pauper.
I thought flare of denial was going to be best in merfolk too but I think generally it will only be great in decks with no-pressure durdly blue value creatures like coiling Oracle, ice-fang coatl and maybe even like spyglass siren
How is Richard saying cheating isn’t that prevalent when the guy who won 2 in a row with a deck that’s apparently luck based and THEN got caught in another tournament. This man has almost assuredly been cheating before getting caught.
@Botanick13 @cloudmane4159 Not talking about banning it in limited, but not letting it into other formats. I had barely any support for it in a limited pool and the card was unstoppable. And I'm not talking about some janky shell either (like running 4x Shuko is silly) - my point was that the card plays and feels on another level.
Watching charlie open magic packs was genuinely one of the most soul-crushing experiences I've ever had in magic. It is tremendously saddening given his views on magic and its lore. Which is going to be the takeaway for his many fans.
I did not expect Ritchard to call me a boomer, I'm 25 and played a lot of Assassin's Creed back in middle and high school, played every game in the series up to Unity. Not gonna lie I kinda got fatigue from the series after that and kinda don't care about it anymore (that's just me tho), me back in high school would have absolutely loved this tho lol
I run a weekly Pokémon online tournament that uses the PTCGL online client. We still have people trying to cheat/rule shark and using bug exploits all the time for our small 200-300 player tournament with just virtual packs as prizing.
People who wanna cheat will cheat in person as much as on camera. So many cheaters get caught cheating on the absolute stupidest times, where the cheat doesn't even matter or is almost impossible to miss. My gut says the amount of cheating won't be markedly higher online, but they might get away with it a liiittle bit more often. Maybe.
in regards to the floor on what people would cheat for - I absolutely believe that people would cheat just to know they had the personal satisfaction of getting away with it.
I don’t know how one piece works but I play on spelltable for magic. How can you look at your hand and not have your opponent see it if your hands have to be on the webcam the whole time? Maybe it’s just the angle of the webcam
One piece is so much fun , I do love that they have the online tourneys but i wouldnt want to be in those. I like tourneys in real life but i do like watching the online ones
It's what we should expect at this point. I'm waiting for the format to settle down and correct it's self before I jump back into Modern. The suddo rotation we have now is nuts
We just got paper magic in person back and we're already trying to take it away. Its great people can play online but there are some people that do really enjoy going to an in person match.
The assasin creed set bringing in historical figures brings MTG back to its roots. Library of Alexandria is already a card. This is Arabian knights part 2
At my very first prerelease I explained to my first round opponent that I was new so if I make a mistake, just let me know. Then the guy used that to cheat by just lying to me about the rules. I checked with a friendly player after the loss since I didn’t know about judges, then just quit magic for a year since I felt like a gullible idiot. There were like no stakes for that prerelease and the guy was still willing to cheat against a new player when he could have just won normally.
I agree the AC showcase frame looks quite awful. Very generic and uninspired. I wonder how a creative director at WOTZ could give the green light to that. You'd think the company making the most popular TCG would have the resources to design something beyond mediocre.
56:20 IMO, Timeless and Historic should be made more distinct, starting with the changing the name of Historic, that is no longer an accurate way to describe the format. The current version of Alchemy should go bye bye and what is currently Historic should become Alchemy. And then to distinguish Timeless from this new Alchemy take the digital only cards out of Timeless.
I suspect Nadu will not get banned, but I do think it could lead to other cards being banned instead. Are there any things in Modern that bust it if you were to ban Shuko or some other Equip 0 cards? Been out of the game for about 10 years and just got back in over the last 4 months or so. As for Commander, it feels like Nadu is just another in a laundry list of strong Commanders/99.
Definitely agree with Richard about the Webcam MTG tournaments. I would love to play a for fun tournament online. Even if the prize was like a few packs or something I would be totally fine. Honestly my philosophy when it comes to cheaters in small scale chill events and FNMs is that if you cheat against me then whatever. Clearly you need the win in your life more than I do so whatever. Obviously no RCQ or any serious sanctioned play should ever be played over webcam though.
That's a bad take. That's encouraging cheating at the worst places. Kids gonna get cheated cuz of people like you not wanting to care. They should absolutely be punished and just as harshly as at any other sanctioned event.
Crim saying that people will cheat for $0.25 is so accurate lol Also, Charlie is king of the normies. He's going to bring a lot of people into the game.
What if online tournaments started a requirement for two webcams or three webcams say one to cover the field and one to cover the player/player's hands
@@guico33 Honestly the most simple requirement is just play on cockatrice or tabletop simulator. Simulator costs 20 bucks, but is a minor fee. Just talk on voice chat and have players confirm they own the cards...or just don't give a fuck and let people "proxy". This way no cheating can be done.
I think crim is underestimating the reach of these kinds of things and how big of a number 1 million views is (which is where most of charlies videos end up in viewership on average, if we simplify a bit). People have parasocial relationships with these creators. If one out of one hundred people watching charly having fun with magic, decide to go out and buy magic product, which is completely feasible (just imagine 100 actual people watching charly opening packs. it doesn't seem unlikely at all that at least one of them will decide to buy some mtg for the first time in their life) then at 1.000.000 million views for one video, we're talking about 10.000 people actually buying something after watching. After ONE video. It's not 100. Stuff like this actually moves the needle.
MTG podcast starts at 21:14. After the One Piece podcast
I watched the whole thing but my husband was not interested in the one piece talk. You are doing Gods work.
Thanx. I cam here for mtg like the title suggests. The first 20 minutes were awful.
So interested in one peice
Sad they talked about that garbage game for 21 minutes. Lorcana is fixed magic. A good game.

Paymoney Wubby and Moist Critical are huge additions.... For Wizards. Hopefully they bring in lots of new players too.
50:53 penguin used to play yugioh a decent amount. That was the game be streamed in the past.
So what's the next commander episode? Test how hard it is to cheat? Cheating allowed if you can't get caught on camera.
Play 1 v 1 Canadian Highlander! It can be super sweaty and the format is a blast.
Richard said Nadu is bad. I think I need to buy all Nadu's available
Historic still deserves a place, imho. I brew some absolute jank decks with too many mythics and rares sometimes that I know I won't get a chance to actually try in timeless
My read on Assassin's Creed is, while a lot of people who like it, not many LOVE it. Fallout has a lot of people who love it, so it'll be interesting if just having a lot of passive fans is enough to sell the set.
AC will sell very well. Lots of good commanders already and video game magic cards have been very successful.
Not to mention, hype for new Game is strong.
Emperor of bones was the mvp of my prerelease won all my games because of him
I think it's a bit early for the Nadu ban talk. The card is good, but this was prerelease weekend. Let's see how the meta adapts to the card.
However, it does help prove that Modern Horizons 3 is gonna be very similar to it's predecessors in power level. Especially since they pre-banned 20 cards in Historic and one in Pauper.
Guide of Souls can snowball out of control from just my prerelease experience.
I thought flare of denial was going to be best in merfolk too but I think generally it will only be great in decks with no-pressure durdly blue value creatures like coiling Oracle, ice-fang coatl and maybe even like spyglass siren
Nadu looks so f*ed up in legacy. Field of the dead + shuko = put half of your deck on the field and the other in your hand.
Emperor of bones is the best card I opened in my prerelease. I won on a 2 mana land screw because of him
I had an opponent who opened 2 and he absolutely crushed me g1. We only ended up tying because he's a really slow player.
We had online paper tournaments here in Finland during the pandemic, but they have since died out.
Richard pretty much explained how remote duels worked for yugioh
How is Richard saying cheating isn’t that prevalent when the guy who won 2 in a row with a deck that’s apparently luck based and THEN got caught in another tournament. This man has almost assuredly been cheating before getting caught.
I had 2 Nadu's in my prerelease pool. Went 4-0. Some games I had no business winning, but the bird carried hard. It is 100% ban worthy.
Tbh Prerelease never matter
How do you ban cards in limited?
In constructed, a 3 mana value card in a janky shell shell seems bad
@@cloudmane4159 lmao. That's why Uro completely dominated and crushed modern in the same colours... Because it's so janky...
It is different than Uro. Their trying to tell you Nadu plays with cards like Shuko while Uro played in goodstuff decks @@iLLiDaN30
@Botanick13 @cloudmane4159 Not talking about banning it in limited, but not letting it into other formats. I had barely any support for it in a limited pool and the card was unstoppable. And I'm not talking about some janky shell either (like running 4x Shuko is silly) - my point was that the card plays and feels on another level.
Watching charlie open magic packs was genuinely one of the most soul-crushing experiences I've ever had in magic. It is tremendously saddening given his views on magic and its lore. Which is going to be the takeaway for his many fans.
I did not expect Ritchard to call me a boomer, I'm 25 and played a lot of Assassin's Creed back in middle and high school, played every game in the series up to Unity. Not gonna lie I kinda got fatigue from the series after that and kinda don't care about it anymore (that's just me tho), me back in high school would have absolutely loved this tho lol
Energy is looking really good i wish the eldrazi mdfc was green colorless instead of green blue would have been SOOOO much more synergistic
Seth says let's Talk about One Piece was not on my bingo card for the podcast!
Soo, mono black plays sheoldred and necrodominace, and with all that devotion also nikthos
I run a weekly Pokémon online tournament that uses the PTCGL online client. We still have people trying to cheat/rule shark and using bug exploits all the time for our small 200-300 player tournament with just virtual packs as prizing.
Launch the Goldfish Digital Online tournament!!!
People who wanna cheat will cheat in person as much as on camera. So many cheaters get caught cheating on the absolute stupidest times, where the cheat doesn't even matter or is almost impossible to miss. My gut says the amount of cheating won't be markedly higher online, but they might get away with it a liiittle bit more often. Maybe.
in regards to the floor on what people would cheat for - I absolutely believe that people would cheat just to know they had the personal satisfaction of getting away with it.
The Assassinate frame makes MtG card looks like Flash and Blood cards 😂
Finally, someone gets Leyline of Sanctity’s power
Guide of souls is just a Delver that flips when you play 3 other creatures.
I know they run some webcam tournaments for unsanctioned things like revised 40 and they seem to go or at least used to go well.
What are the stakes though? People wouldn't cheat unless they are sufficiently incentivized.
I don’t know how one piece works but I play on spelltable for magic. How can you look at your hand and not have your opponent see it if your hands have to be on the webcam the whole time? Maybe it’s just the angle of the webcam
One piece is so much fun , I do love that they have the online tourneys but i wouldnt want to be in those. I like tourneys in real life but i do like watching the online ones
stop uploading at 6 am. I have to sleep soon
Some of us get up at that time sooo.... it's kinda perfect for day-shift people
Let them be. The world isn't just the states
Besides, it doesn't matter what time they upload it's gonna be bad for someone, so just worry about what time is good for them
You don't have to watch as soon as they drop lol
😂😂😂😂😂
I still play historic a bit, mostly to mess around with jank deck brews like boros meld
There will be more historical figures in Magic, alongside some from Arabian Nights and a lot from Portal Three Kingdoms.
It's what we should expect at this point. I'm waiting for the format to settle down and correct it's self before I jump back into Modern. The suddo rotation we have now is nuts
Suddo 😂
@@OctopiWalgreens yea semi-rotates
We just got paper magic in person back and we're already trying to take it away. Its great people can play online but there are some people that do really enjoy going to an in person match.
The assasin creed set bringing in historical figures brings MTG back to its roots. Library of Alexandria is already a card. This is Arabian knights part 2
You can't even draft the set tho that's what sucks. And it's UB. Was Arabian Nights the OG UB 😂
At my very first prerelease I explained to my first round opponent that I was new so if I make a mistake, just let me know. Then the guy used that to cheat by just lying to me about the rules. I checked with a friendly player after the loss since I didn’t know about judges, then just quit magic for a year since I felt like a gullible idiot. There were like no stakes for that prerelease and the guy was still willing to cheat against a new player when he could have just won normally.
Ral is low key the best one. Check spike's Ruby storm deck
I agree the AC showcase frame looks quite awful. Very generic and uninspired. I wonder how a creative director at WOTZ could give the green light to that. You'd think the company making the most popular TCG would have the resources to design something beyond mediocre.
56:20 IMO, Timeless and Historic should be made more distinct, starting with the changing the name of Historic, that is no longer an accurate way to describe the format. The current version of Alchemy should go bye bye and what is currently Historic should become Alchemy. And then to distinguish Timeless from this new Alchemy take the digital only cards out of Timeless.
Richard is so scared of bowmasters its hilarious. They don't always have the card and if they do so be it. You can't play scared.
I for one would welcome a One Piece spin-off from you guys.
I suspect Nadu will not get banned, but I do think it could lead to other cards being banned instead. Are there any things in Modern that bust it if you were to ban Shuko or some other Equip 0 cards? Been out of the game for about 10 years and just got back in over the last 4 months or so. As for Commander, it feels like Nadu is just another in a laundry list of strong Commanders/99.
Historic is the red-headed step-child of formats now that Timeless exists.
Definitely agree with Richard about the Webcam MTG tournaments. I would love to play a for fun tournament online. Even if the prize was like a few packs or something I would be totally fine.
Honestly my philosophy when it comes to cheaters in small scale chill events and FNMs is that if you cheat against me then whatever. Clearly you need the win in your life more than I do so whatever.
Obviously no RCQ or any serious sanctioned play should ever be played over webcam though.
That's a bad take. That's encouraging cheating at the worst places. Kids gonna get cheated cuz of people like you not wanting to care. They should absolutely be punished and just as harshly as at any other sanctioned event.
Who would have thought, Necropotence is good in modern (even in its nerfed state)
Still standing by flare of denial being bad. Stop paying 20 bucks for it. Lol.
Crim saying that people will cheat for $0.25 is so accurate lol
Also, Charlie is king of the normies. He's going to bring a lot of people into the game.
The Goldfish crew could always do some sweaty 1v1 content - no cheating problem there.
What if online tournaments started a requirement for two webcams or three webcams say one to cover the field and one to cover the player/player's hands
How many webcams does one ever need? 😄
@@guico33 Honestly the most simple requirement is just play on cockatrice or tabletop simulator. Simulator costs 20 bucks, but is a minor fee. Just talk on voice chat and have players confirm they own the cards...or just don't give a fuck and let people "proxy". This way no cheating can be done.
No mention of AMPED RAPTOR for SHAME
Is it even good? I know spike is on it but I've heard other people say it's bad
@@BludMun Who is saying it is bad and what were they running it in?
@@daylearmstrong4447 mengucci. It was an offhand comment
I think crim is underestimating the reach of these kinds of things and how big of a number 1 million views is (which is where most of charlies videos end up in viewership on average, if we simplify a bit). People have parasocial relationships with these creators. If one out of one hundred people watching charly having fun with magic, decide to go out and buy magic product, which is completely feasible (just imagine 100 actual people watching charly opening packs. it doesn't seem unlikely at all that at least one of them will decide to buy some mtg for the first time in their life) then at 1.000.000 million views for one video, we're talking about 10.000 people actually buying something after watching. After ONE video. It's not 100. Stuff like this actually moves the needle.
