- 0:00Oh, everybody's going to oh, my god, fraud. But what's going
- 0:21on? Everybody? I'm the one the only w oh okay I e We're
- 0:25Oh, he's just waiting for us to finish. We are. We're doing
- 0:30a show here today. Thank you for listening. How are you? But
- 0:34we have an ewokside, we have an eoch hello, key forsh community,
- 0:42glad. We are super organized and untop of it with our intros as usual.
- 0:46I love it. I love it. Listen if you can name the
- 0:49reference, give you one. Oh man, you already got it all right.
- 0:54Well, anyways, the Choke show is here. Drascr all my fun
- 1:03resident PhD doctor sheep yay, he's got so a thing happened. How are
- 1:11you? Happy? Pie day? Everyone that's after that. That's what has
- 1:14happened. Three point one four one five night yep. If you ever wanted
- 1:19to figure out a circle, it's a number you'll need anyways. Care circle.
- 1:26Yeah. Our education system has failed this cast in so many ways.
- 1:33I don't know how else to put but you'll need pie eventually. But anyways,
- 1:40we're here to chew bubble gum and talk about key forge, and we're
- 1:45all out of bubble gum. So let's talk about store championships. Drans score.
- 1:49You did a store championship not too long ago. I don't know what
- 1:53ye was it this weekend? Yeah, so we did Sealed on Sunday,
- 1:57so it was it was a good time. Yeah, we just all right,
- 2:05wow, so let me tell you Alliance no garbage. We'll steel you
- 2:10on what we did. So right, so advertise bunch. So we actually
- 2:13had two new folks who hadn't been there or at least or at least maybe
- 2:21not in a very long time like so, but two new folks, right,
- 2:23and then we had eight others so total of ten, which honestly wasn't
- 2:30too bad because there was other events on Saturday in the radius, so we
- 2:37didn't draw people from super far away like sometimes we can for a big event.
- 2:43But it was so it was a good time. People had fun.
- 2:46But at the beginning, I said, okay, hey, look the official
- 2:52rules are you know this whatever, this unified thing like Alliance right, never
- 2:59heard over, And so I asked folks like, hey, you know,
- 3:05if if somebody wants to do Alliance right, that's the official format, will
- 3:08do it. But if it's unanimous then so it had to be unanimous to
- 3:15do not alliance, to do true Sealed. And one of the new people
- 3:20was like, what do you wait? What what are you talking about?
- 3:23So I had to explain to them what alliance was and they were like,
- 3:27why would I do that. I was like, all right, I know
- 3:31your answer, and it was unanimous. We all decided to do true Sealed,
- 3:36no no alliancing. So so y'all got three Woe decks. Crack whoa
- 3:46sorry, three gr decks. Crack them open and rock and rolled and had
- 3:53a great time. There was a lot of a lot of fun decks for
- 4:00around, a lot of cool stuff. My deck, I like my deck
- 4:03quite a bit, had a lot of gas really no no c and overstated
- 4:09a so I ended up stalling in the in the final game. Uh,
- 4:14but overall it was Uh, it was great experience things. People had a
- 4:18lot of fun. We were able to give out a prize to everyone.
- 4:23So we just took one of the store kid boxes and I put it out
- 4:26on the table and said, all right, uh, hey, there's ten
- 4:29people. Everybody gets something. First place picks first. So I'm down the
- 4:31list. So you know, the veterans, they all grabbed decks, but
- 4:38some of the folks who are not as veteran grabbed those keys. They were
- 4:42excited about it, and uh, you know, even the last place person
- 4:47got a poster. That poster in there, but they seemed okay with that,
- 4:51like, hey, they got something. Yeah, there's a you're supposed
- 4:58to hang out in the store to advertise stuff. Got it, But there's
- 5:00a poster. So they thought that was kind of cool. So they they
- 5:04didn't they didn't seem like, oh, this is dumb. So they got
- 5:09that and then uh, you know, one or two of the folks wanted
- 5:13extra Haunted cards to bring back to their h kitchen table friends, so passed
- 5:18out some of those and so it was a good time. It was a
- 5:20good time. We as well had a sealed the vent this week. Sheep,
- 5:26what did we do? Most of us played similar to draftscorps, where
- 5:31we opened three decks and uh one we we also all talked about it ahead
- 5:40of time, and by most team means everybody but one person. They were
- 5:45not there when we made the decision because they knew they were running light.
- 5:48They drove almost two hours to join us and got stuck in traffic, so
- 5:53they were a little late. So they had a first round by which worked
- 5:56out because we had to buy anyways. Okay, so it was it was
- 6:01okay. So we got there and they wanted to Alliance, so you just
- 6:04let them do it. Basically, well, they did it. We didn't
- 6:08really even discussion. It was just done. Yeah, that's fun. And
- 6:15then it came down to the final table and it was like, oh,
- 6:20some of us are Allianced and some of us are not. Ah, we
- 6:27were playing key Forge. We had fun. We also went ahead and actually
- 6:30played Alliance for our store championship the week before, so we've been running them
- 6:34on our weeklies, so I thought it was really nice to actually have someone
- 6:38come out for Sealed. But we ran straight Alliance and we didn't turn out
- 6:44last week. We didn't so we didn't run Alliance. We weren't sealed this
- 6:47week. But you're talking about last week, Yeah, two weeks. I
- 6:49wasn't here. I wasn't there. I was in I was in inventory Land.
- 6:56I'm sure. I am sure that you guys went ahead and talked ad
- 7:00nauseum about the Alliance fun that we had as I was not here. So
- 7:05yeah, it's key Forge. We had fun ad nauseum. All right,
- 7:10So if you haven't gone to your local. I don't know. I'm assuming.
- 7:14I don't know how everyone else is running it, but I'm assuming go
- 7:15to a local. I'm gonna start championship. Yeah, the map is actually
- 7:19pretty cool and they made some adjustments to it recently so it's easier to see
- 7:26what the events are just by clicking on one of the amber shards. So
- 7:30shout out to, Shout out to. Josh did a really nice job with
- 7:33going ahead and talking people and for anyone who was working at it, awesome
- 7:38work. And next week I think we have our coon. We have ar
- 7:41Con, So report back on Shoop's win next week. Nice. We actually
- 7:45did Alliance tonight, so we had five players for that and I just threw
- 7:55something together real quick. It did not do well on one of the guys
- 8:01though, built like a you know auto ecto charge key abduction and double the
- 8:09penthy seed thing. That was pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah, And one
- 8:16of the guys, one of the guys in my store, he has a
- 8:18quad routine job deck, so he just uh, you know, took like
- 8:22a fast logos pod and a recursion untamed pod with his quad routine job.
- 8:31Well, the guy, the guy who played the ecto charge, the key
- 8:37induction double in the penthe seed. He just never made embers like you can
- 8:41play his Betty uh stealing job. I'm just gonna never make em at ecto
- 8:50charge and then key abduction, the seed key infection, and yeah, I'm
- 8:56guessing no hard r in that deck. Also, No, there wasn't that
- 9:00would have been that that actually could have made a difference, potentially might have
- 9:03forced him to try to make remember. But yeah, yeah, I mean
- 9:11it's it's something and I like the line that he took. So that's definitely
- 9:18a thing that happened back in the Code of Days where you're playing a heavy
- 9:20steel deck and your opponent just does not make any umber for you to take.
- 9:26Mm. It was disappointing. Feelings were hurt, but he couldn't ruin
- 9:33somebody's day, So you know, ruined somebody's day. But this week we're
- 9:39going through Mars, and I feel like a special button has been added for
- 9:43us, just on our kind kinda. It's called the exclude reprints checkbox,
- 9:48where you can exclude all the reprints and Mars, to which there were quite
- 9:52a few. Sore mine, says a wookie press here. That's that's says
- 10:00that not what mine says. But that's okay. Now we have the sheet.
- 10:05The sheet of Doom is hidden somewhere, somebody will read it off to
- 10:09us. I think it's gonna be Drascores and we're gonna do Okay, we're
- 10:13gonna do what we normally do. We're gonna go through the cards. We're
- 10:16gonna rank them zero, zero to six, I believe, and go from
- 10:20there. So let's start with ab ductomatic or power two ember robot creature from
- 10:26Mars. After fight, if you are haunted, capture two, scrap the
- 10:31least powerful friendly creature captures two. So the flexibility is nice, right that
- 10:39you can scrap it for capturing two on one of your dudes. The fight
- 10:46is slow that it does have some armor. Now you do have like you
- 10:52know, there's we'll get to write other cards, but there's ways to pull
- 10:56Mars cards out of your archives, right, so you can maybe scrap him
- 11:00and then pull him back out of your discard. I he's a three least.
- 11:09I don't know what do you guys think? I was thinking either two
- 11:13or three? No, he's a four. Yeah, he's a four to
- 11:18two. The three goes ahead and you have a body that gets a chance.
- 11:22He doesn't kill. He doesn't kill Brio. That's true, he doesn't.
- 11:26That is not the qualifier for him getting a kill Brio. It kind
- 11:31of is. No, I think that. I think the way he said
- 11:35it, I don't know, man, no what you interpreted what he said
- 11:41exactly? It makes for entertain Well, you're wrong. It is only a
- 11:48three. Oh there you go, all right, But hey, he's not
- 11:52here to night to go ahead and hear this and to be able to raise
- 11:56it. But again, I think with the body four two, it's going
- 11:58to stick around you a chance to be able to reap. You have the
- 12:01fight effect that where needed for haunted. It does hurt if you're not haunted.
- 12:05But the scrap effect there. I think I can see the three.
- 12:09It's all too little situational, like this is an okay card. You're not
- 12:15sad to have one, but you're kind of sad when you have three.
- 12:20No, Actually, the only time, because I had this inn sealed,
- 12:24the only time you are sad is when you have an archive and you need
- 12:28to scrap to capture. But you don't have a single Mars card that is
- 12:33out on the board or a creature that you can play that you can capture
- 12:35onto. Yeah, everything is just a little situational on this card. That
- 12:39makes it that. That's why I wouldn't make it a four. It is
- 12:43a generally average car mid its mid it's it's it's average. I got it
- 12:50aberrant or event. It is an action play discard cards from the top of
- 12:58your deck until you just card a or run out of cards. If you
- 13:01discard a creature this way, put it into play and destroy one of its
- 13:05neighbors, repeat the preceding effect on your opponent. Uh uh, I haven't
- 13:13seen that. It's a rare Okay. I was like, I haven't seen
- 13:16this card much to have any interaction with it whatsoever. I mean, I've
- 13:20played it, I've seen it played. It's it's interesting because it's house cheating,
- 13:28right, because it's just any any creature, yes, any creature.
- 13:33You do have to destroy a neighbor, but you get the benefit on both
- 13:37sides, Like you destroy your least valuable flank, where you're going to destroy
- 13:41your opponent's most valuable flank. You sort of get to ignore their play effects
- 13:48if they have good play effect cards. It's you know, when it comes
- 13:52into play, exhausted so they are also losing that creature for the next turn.
- 13:58So I mean, I don't there's a very rare where you wouldn't play
- 14:01this card, although it is a deck miller, right, like it mills
- 14:05you and your opponent. Yeah, that sometimes can be good or bad,
- 14:11right, because there are some decks where like you mail them at the right
- 14:13time and you're going to force them to flip because they have no creatures left
- 14:18and you're gonna put them down to end a deck. So there are definitely
- 14:20things that this is good. This is also sometimes where you now have made
- 14:26them haunted. Well, but that might be good because you might want them
- 14:31haunted because you're playing a card that does something about them being haunted. Like
- 14:35this. This is like a very good example of a rare card. It
- 14:41has interesting effects. It has all kinds of weird not huge combo potential,
- 14:46but places where it makes other things work or stops what they were doing.
- 14:52It does neat things, but it's not game breaking and it's not garbage either.
- 14:58It's just I almost want to put it into land. Yeah. I
- 15:07only have one of these, and it did not impress me. It's sort
- 15:15of did a thing and I was like, oh, like we both lost
- 15:18mediocre creatures. If it had a PIP, I might put it at three.
- 15:24I don't, I might just put it at a two. I'm putting
- 15:28I'm putting it. Yeah, I'm putting it at a two. I have
- 15:31not actually played with this in real life. I cannot pull Mars to save
- 15:35my life outside of the Store Championship. But it's been played against me and
- 15:39TCO and it's actually one of those where I'm like, wait, what happened?
- 15:43And I have to scroll back to be able to see because my creature
- 15:46died. Your creature died, But you're playing off house. I know what
- 15:48happens, and I can see where it's coming from. But it just hasn't
- 15:52had any It's there, it hasn't done anything special in the games that I've
- 15:56played. Also, the art is like, I don't know the style of
- 16:02the Martians on this art just looks different to me than most of the other
- 16:07cards. Does it look bad way to you? Like they're more Martian,
- 16:12they're more traditional traditional code of Yeah, I don't know, Like do they
- 16:18look like do they look like some of the traditional dudes like Arational Show?
- 16:25I mean commenting on art now is it's gonna be posing that because it's just
- 16:34not the same level of art as what there was. So there's a lot
- 16:38of good art in the set. Soon you're gonna Soon you're gonna go ahead
- 16:42and see sheep here with MS paint Or are you making reference to AI art?
- 16:48Is that what you're is that where you're going. No, they're not
- 16:49going to different every time, every every time there's been at less one car
- 16:57where somebody's been like, just the art doesn't not bad art, it just
- 17:03looks stylistically different. Yeah, I think that we're well, I think we're
- 17:08used to a certain level of expectation. It's just different with this. He
- 17:12gives it a three. He can't defend his reason for three, probably because
- 17:18it's just like it's it does something rare. We'll give it a three,
- 17:21and nobody sees it play, so it doesn't need to be fixed. Again,
- 17:26he's not here to lower it. That's fair. Let's move to the
- 17:32brash Grabber three power Scientist Martian. If you are not haunted, brash Grabber
- 17:37enters play enraged omni move one ember from an enemy creature to your pool.
- 17:48So if you are not haunted, he becomes garbage. Well, he always
- 17:51has an he's still omni, right, which I see the fight, but
- 18:00if you don't call them mars, he cannot fight, so therefore he cannot
- 18:03me he can me right, Yeah, that's one of those weird ones.
- 18:08But this is Omni get one of your captured amber back. Yeah, it's
- 18:14capture. It's not amazing, no, but we had seen in previous sets.
- 18:19But we had seen in previous sets that it would have been in house,
- 18:22so you would have had to come back to your house in order to
- 18:25be able to do this. So the ability for a time Omni taken amber
- 18:30off an enemy crew. This is an enemy creature. This isn't an amber
- 18:33just waiting for you to kill it. And that is true, sir,
- 18:36I miss enemy, but I was more picturing our own. But yes,
- 18:38you're correct, Yeah, this is only enemy, so it's getting back your
- 18:41amber. So I guess it's you know, it's I don't know. And
- 18:45it can happen every turn, so it has some value there. But he's
- 18:49small. They need to be captured me, right. Yeah. If they
- 18:55don't capture, this does nothing. That is true too, although I guess
- 18:59there's a bunch of cards that capture your opponent captures from their own side,
- 19:03So so can combo with some of that and we'll get to that. Yeah,
- 19:08in this set, but it's still it's amber that you're going to you
- 19:11have access sooner or later. This isn't amber that you weren't supposed to get
- 19:18at some point. This feels like it's a good It's a little bit better
- 19:21in g R than it is another set. Actually, I think it's all
- 19:27sets have quite a lot of capture in the sense well, I think enhancement.
- 19:37I think some A A O A wasn't a huge capture set either.
- 19:41It who was doing mid? This does nothing to I'm not so I went
- 19:57three, but I've been off on everything, so I assume it's to what
- 20:00do we got guys? Yes it is, yep, there we go.
- 20:03I'll just be off by one. There you go. So whatever you're gonna
- 20:07say, just subtract one from it. We will get this and you'll and
- 20:11you're in all right. Let's go to another cool card. Crop circles pip
- 20:15a number every time you play it. It is an action play. A
- 20:18non Mars creature captures one from its own size. You may side. You
- 20:22may purge any number of cards from your from your archives. The same creature
- 20:27captures an additional one from its own side for each card purged in this way,
- 20:34Can I say this is the card that has had the most combo terrific
- 20:41plays played against me? Good, just like death and it can do yeah,
- 20:48winds of Death and this or even the Mars guy that lets you there's
- 20:53lots of Mars archiving. Now this does this is crop circles. When this
- 20:57does suffer from this same thing as all the other abducting cards is you cannot
- 21:03purge your opponent's cards. If you try to do that, it just goes
- 21:07back to their hands and you don't get the extra capture, so that does
- 21:12not work. I agree that it is not very intelligent. I wish that
- 21:18it was written differently. It's not. It just doesn't make sense. You
- 21:25know, like nobody almost nobody who has ever played this game and just picked
- 21:30up the rule book tried to play it went ahh, I don't purge this.
- 21:33It goes back to your hand, right, Yeah, I don't to
- 21:37do here, right, Like we've all played long enough, we know what's
- 21:41going to happen, and it happens. But yes, this plus wins of
- 21:44death and then they purge out all of a house, you know, like
- 21:48a bunch of creatures from a house, and they capture all your amber and
- 21:51then they kill it or a dumpk it and they take all your Space dollars
- 21:53and you cry and you go my Space dollars, and you go my Space
- 21:59dollars. It's if you guys on the set that gets me to go my
- 22:00Space. And it has an umber pip on it. So even if you
- 22:06don't have any archives or they even if you just play for one amber,
- 22:11one one, that's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, And I like the
- 22:18yard of this one. The crop circles yelling at the that's the isn't that
- 22:23the crashed ship with the star Line ship? Sure is? Yeah, at
- 22:30least at least it is now I think. So it definitely looks crashed.
- 22:37Some people like the work. Others I've heard definite comments going in the direction
- 22:41is but I kind of like it. But I could say nicer. Your
- 22:48crop drawn things face is going to be like I think they did pretty good
- 22:52draw that in the dirt. You see some of these craps. I think
- 22:56I think the big I think the biggest complaint is again, stylistically, we
- 23:00seem to be in multiple again, it just just in different areas, like
- 23:07why we keep talking about our let's talk about Oh I'm gonna I'm gonna say,
- 23:11because if you look at abductumatic the war were, and then crop circles,
- 23:19they're just very different from the same house in this set. So that's
- 23:23all. It just is. Even here with an excellent percursive disappearances, they're
- 23:30they're drastically different. And so that has been some of the commons I've seen
- 23:33and heard. Yeah, big upside, it could be higher, but I
- 23:41think, oh so this is one. Yeah, if you see multiples,
- 23:45I could definitely see that. I don't think multiples makes us better. No,
- 23:49you just want one the you want cards to combo off with it,
- 23:56like it gets better when it's like with the winds of death or anything that
- 24:00gives you like mass archives. Yeah, that's one of death. That's when
- 24:04that pretty much. Yeah, rotten, common, rotten, And this is
- 24:11an uncommon I got four. I got it a four. Yes, it's
- 24:15four, I got one. Yay for us. Tell you guys all ahead
- 24:21of time. Curse of curse of disappearance. It's an artifact, curse treachery.
- 24:29So it's going to enter play under your opponent's control. At the end
- 24:33of your turn, put a friendly creature into your opponent's archives. If that
- 24:37card leaves their archives, put it into its owner's hand instead. Yeah,
- 24:45this is uh, this could be real big, right. Yeah, this
- 24:49card is disrupted. Yep, Like one creature a turn might be the best
- 24:56curse, maybe the second best curse. It's up there. Fraud don't mind,
- 25:03you can eat all frauds dudes. Yeah, I mean there's some decks
- 25:06that don't care, right, but you know, whoe cares right, quite
- 25:18a bit of Grimmerbinders cares. Although I guess the Alliance deck I was describing
- 25:22that one of my locals put together where he didn't need to make any ember.
- 25:27It also could have been like, I'm just not gonna play any creatures.
- 25:30I'm just gonna discard all my creatures every turn. Well like that wouldn't
- 25:37care either. So yeah, there's certainly places, but in general, this
- 25:41this card, when lands turned one, it's just very very disruptive. If
- 25:47you don't need your archives. It can also help thin deck. So against
- 25:52this is another one against really fast acts that don't care about their creatures.
- 25:57It can actually be detrimental, but mostly almost always just play and watch your
- 26:04opponent get frustrated squirm. Yeah, so I guess the question is is this
- 26:10a five or six? I think that's it's still a Oh I want to
- 26:17put it at a four. Oh really okay, yeah, I still want
- 26:21to put it at four. It's good. Five, this is this is
- 26:26a pretty strong disruption. Also, make it with red who you actually get
- 26:36a card in yours the red. Yeah, I'll go six, go big,
- 26:45go bigger home then everybody. That's all he does. Have it as
- 26:51a six. This is one of the chase cards. Like, this card
- 26:55is super disruptive. You also got to look at that this is not destroyed,
- 27:02so it skips destroyed effects. It skips all that stuff. Right,
- 27:07it's like bounce who gets around your curious sources? It's it's good. Yeah,
- 27:18you're demos or whatever is the new? Yeah? Yeah, all right.
- 27:26Distant Void prober four power Scientist Martian after reap, if you're haunted,
- 27:32your opponent's keys costs plus three during their next turn. Scrap an enemy creature
- 27:37captures one from its own side, so a slow plus three or a quick
- 27:44capture slow capture slow steal one. Yeah. Also a four power dude.
- 27:52Yeah, yeah, I don't know about you guys, but I almost unless
- 27:56my opponent has no ember. I sort of stare at this card for a
- 28:00moment. I'm like, well, burn the hand. Can I scrap him?
- 28:03I'm with you. I kind of like the slow steal better then,
- 28:07unless I know I'm playing a deck that's going to call Mars again. If
- 28:11I don't think I'm gonna if I don't think I'm gonna come back to Mars.
- 28:14Yeah, this guy's often just becomes the Steel or he hopefully is just
- 28:19discarded off house from a discard pit. Yeah yeah, like he's nice in
- 28:26that is any house that has discard pips. This gives you another amber control
- 28:30card that has flexibility for play mm hmm or not play. Yeah, and
- 28:37slow Steel one, it's probably still good. It's okay. It's not great,
- 28:41but it's flexibility. Like if he ends up as a creature, it's
- 28:45okay. It's a four power with a brief effect, so at least they
- 28:49didn't do something junkie like make it in action. He's just an okay card.
- 28:53Another one, Like, you know, if I got one of them,
- 28:56I'm not sad if I got five of them, I'm not real happy.
- 29:02So another three, that's my thought. What do you think you walk?
- 29:11Yep, it's a three sweep, all right, don't believe your eyes.
- 29:18It's an action card play. If you are haunted, a creature captures
- 29:21two from an own side. Otherwise, a creature captures one. This I
- 29:26like this card a lot capturing two from its own side. Like, so
- 29:33slow slow steal two or capture one? Yeah, I mean you want to
- 29:38be haunted, Like capture one's not that great. This whole set wants to
- 29:41be haunted. Yeah. Yeah, So you assume you're playing decent cards,
- 29:47you're gonna be haunted, and you're slow stealing two. That's pretty much.
- 29:51If you pull a deck in this set that doesn't haunt itself at a good
- 29:55pace, you're screwed. Yes, notunds good, it's significantly worse. Remember
- 30:02did we do aquad On not yet? Yes, yes we did, can't
- 30:08I can't remember what we do either. Yes we did do aquadan This is
- 30:14still a pretty good card. I agree with with dress there, but it's
- 30:18still not like permanent record or generous offer good mm hmmm, because like they
- 30:25have to have a creature, you have to be haunted. But a card
- 30:27that steals two is good, and we gave those what fours. I would
- 30:33give this a four also three, I don't think it's as good. It
- 30:40is better than distant void prober. Mm hmm yep. I would rather have
- 30:45a couple of these than more distant void probers. If this is a three,
- 30:49I'm gonna move void proberto it two. I think it's four. Three
- 30:59it's a four, yay. And plus it's got a pterodactyl or something another
- 31:06one of those long necked alien looking that he is a he's a Saurian on
- 31:17a severe diet. And that's why I say, don't believe your eyes,
- 31:21because you're not used to that thing. Yeah, yep, okay, very
- 31:26weird. Now we're creating lore too. I like it, at least not
- 31:30at least Now we're gonna dating potatoes kinda doctorixel Fricks, scientist Martian Elusive after
- 31:42replay a Mars creature from your discard pile, and ready it so good?
- 31:48Yes, combod potential city. Oh yeah, zixel Frix does some shnanigans because
- 31:57then yeah, well that's not even where he's good. They bring more,
- 32:05you know, But you guys are right, zixel Frix is one of the
- 32:08key cards to several potentially not game breaking but amber blasting combos in this in
- 32:16this house. So and he's elusive. That's really nice. After read ye
- 32:25the album and ready it play and ready it might come. He might come
- 32:30if it comes with some rebels, get real quick. We get to his
- 32:36combo buddies later when we find them. Oh yeah, rebels. So actually
- 32:40and Mars First are actually both reprints. Both both Rebel and Mars First are
- 32:46in this sence we're not hitting the reprints at all. They're both here in
- 32:49the set. Well, those those are the two that ready him. Then
- 32:55he does absolutely silly things with Proliferator. Proliferator read maybe the there's the other
- 33:04guy who will get to him. He's he reaps, he takes control of
- 33:10enemy creature, and then you destroy one of your own creatures, so you
- 33:15destroy your rebel, so you steal one of theirs, you destroy your rebel
- 33:19right and now Zixy Fricks reaps. You put your rebel back into play in
- 33:22the middle of that other dude impaler in Planter sorry implanter. Yeah, and
- 33:30then you get to reap with them all again, and then take another creature
- 33:35and kill your rebel, kill your rebel again, and then he's in discard
- 33:42and Zixy's ready. He soul fricks and then you reap them. Like we
- 33:45saw this as a preview card, and I said, this thing is gonna
- 33:47do some silly things. This thing does some silly Yeah. So five or
- 33:54is I think five? He's got a con to the crazy. Yeah,
- 34:01But I think I think he's a five. He's he's very good. I
- 34:07agree, maybe I bring his down to four because you need more, like
- 34:13just alone and just a base card alone. He's okay, he might just
- 34:17die. He dies. He's not very powerful if you don't get rebels and
- 34:23proliferators. I mean both of those are believe. Proliferator thinks uncommon, but
- 34:29rebel I think common, rebels common, Mars versus common. Okay, was
- 34:32the proliferator uncommon roughlers common? But periflator is the third piece of the combo,
- 34:38so he's not important. Like if you get zixel Fris proliferators, you
- 34:43don't really care. Okay, is sixel fricks mars first proliferator? You got
- 34:50something? And then there is some truth as we look though, is short
- 34:58of the sel fricks and Implanter and Situations only a few other cards. A
- 35:05lot of the other Mars cards in this set aren't doing a ton. They're
- 35:08reaped for one, which is fine, but they're not quite as crazy as
- 35:15some of their stuff. There's no mind Warper in this set. I'm gonna
- 35:17go out on a limb and I'm gonna say he's a three on his own.
- 35:23No, no, all right, z has given him for a three,
- 35:31and I think actually Wookie has got it on the head. Is even
- 35:37if you get three Sixel Frixes like they just they're easy to kill and they
- 35:43don't do nothing, but you get Zixel Fricks and datoy. So this is
- 35:45a place where in the long run, SAS will score this card better than
- 35:52z score because SAS looks for the synergies Z score does not on its own.
- 35:58Sixel Fricks is fine, right, yeah, yeah, I suppose he's
- 36:04got to have his pieces to really shine. So I'm maybe even in Z
- 36:12score wanting to give it a four because he is so important to the good
- 36:15Mars decks. But I can see why he's a three. That could change
- 36:22because I'm sure he has seen it get played and it definitely makes lots of
- 36:27silly things happen. It does, but like on its own, like if
- 36:30you get Justice uxel Fuss, Yeah, but he does come with it's two
- 36:35other comments that really make him fire. So it happens. It happens often.
- 36:38So let's go to one of the one of the cards. I like
- 36:43the Elite Disruptors are mainly because it's a zord, but because it is your
- 36:50new nickname, the Elite Disruptors are. Yeah, that's what you're gonna go.
- 36:58My next name, Deck is gonna be a disruptors or yeah, I
- 37:01think so. Mainly because of Power Rangers. I'm a big Power Rangers fan.
- 37:06They sucked last set. It's too bad. They could have. They
- 37:08could have been something so great, but they weren't six Power roll. I
- 37:13thought you were about to say they sucked last season, Like, yeah,
- 37:15they were. They weren't nearly as good as Jungle Fury. But you know,
- 37:19I watched Power Rangers. What was it then now forever, I don't
- 37:22remember whatever it was the thing on Netflix. It was I forgot how campy
- 37:29Power Rangers can actually be. And then you're like, oh, that's right,
- 37:34it was campy, but a six power robot creature is more powerful than
- 37:38elite disruptors or cannot be played. This card gave me some gave me a
- 37:45little bit of a fit. This uh this past Tuesday with uh the Robdar.
- 37:51Yeah, power creep that has happened in the last couple of sets.
- 37:57Robber have a lot of big boys that can't play when this is out.
- 38:00Ye, sure can't. It does affect you to this is a double one
- 38:06two sided. Oh it does. You're cheating? No, I bet you
- 38:15was. I don't know if you guys were playing key Forge or freaking over
- 38:21there. I don't know. I just made that up even be proper.
- 38:27But what card do you think you walked played when he shouldn't have. I
- 38:30don't know. Probably I don't. I'm just screwing around. I don't remember.
- 38:36It's not very specific. I don't think anything in No, I need
- 38:42specific accusations. So you know, I have seen this played a few times.
- 38:49It has meant absolutely nothing because I'm not playing decks with sevens and eights
- 38:54in them. Mm hmm, I mean and sealed. It does a thing.
- 39:00Yeah, it doesn't. Think in every game if your opponent has anything
- 39:05big, so like it affects Brobnar. It affects the bad story in cards
- 39:09from the last couple of sets. I think, I think in the ra
- 39:15other things. Yeah, I think in a rare slot, it's nice to
- 39:17be able to see it's still. Yeah, it is, But I mean
- 39:22there there's enough seat in our sets that you can go ahead and fight it.
- 39:29You can go ahead and kill it in multiple ways. I think that
- 39:30it's perfectly fine to have as a rare, So I like it there,
- 39:35Okay, two what's brio? Sex kills brio but doesn't stop bridle from stop
- 39:46it from being played though that's a bummer. It just stops the chosen one
- 39:52or whatever. I guess. It prevents your your wimpy Mars dudes from being
- 39:59killed by nurse ship. It kills for it reaps for one more than likely
- 40:04it does trade with a brio four two, three the average and the three
- 40:15the average. It's the card. Thankfully it's rare. You only get one
- 40:22of them. You can't get three of these. Three of these would be
- 40:23real sad, thank god. I mean, you can, but the chances
- 40:29are not into the odds are not in your favor, thank goodness. Right,
- 40:34let's go to glimmer Sport play put. An artifact from play into your
- 40:38archives. If you are not the owner of that card and it leaves your
- 40:43archives, put it into its owner's hand instead. That's the huge bonus sentence.
- 40:49They're putting out all the abductor cards, so when they leave your hand,
- 40:53they go to your opponent's hand, or when they leave your arcim they
- 40:59go to your on its hand. Instead of being able to purge them off
- 41:01of crop circles, and instead of freaking fixing this, they're just like,
- 41:07now we're gonna put this crappy sentence on every card that does this for the
- 41:10rest of life. And it's it's just so not elegant. Again, like
- 41:16this because for most scenarios it would do this, right, if you pull
- 41:21your archives, it would go to your opponent's hand, right, No,
- 41:27well right, because it's changing, it's really weird. Revert to work yeah
- 41:35yeah, but yeah, like defaults to there out of place. It's right,
- 41:42it is, It's just it's just it feels it feels clumsy to put
- 41:47this on the cards when the amount of archiving and abducting that has been printed
- 41:53and they continue to print feels like a core aspect of this game, Like,
- 41:59but we didn't put it the rules so we're gonna keep kind of putting
- 42:01it on the cards. Well, now, everything that fun, everything that
- 42:07ducks says what it does now, except then they goof up things like scoop
- 42:12up. That doesn't work right because you can have your opponents creatures or you
- 42:16can have your creatures on your opponent's side, and then goofy things happen,
- 42:22Like goofy things can still happen even with them writing this in. That's why
- 42:28it should have just been fixed. But now they probably never want to go
- 42:30back and be like, well, we don't want to ride of the forty
- 42:32two cards, So Max, why can't we just have fun? And why
- 42:37can't you let me purge my opponent's card from my archives? That would be
- 42:43powerful? Too powerful. Yeah, that is the slowest form of purge that
- 42:52has to be in this game. Too good, and it's on it's on
- 42:54the power level of like shuffling your deck with a time travel right, you
- 43:05had met a little card called in Furnace. Now that nobody that was making
- 43:10all right, score the S four. So it's artifact control. Yeah,
- 43:17that's yeah. But it's sort of even a step up from perge because there
- 43:22are a few cards that let you get purge cards back, but it still
- 43:24pretty hard to get your archive cards back from your opponent. There's only two
- 43:30or three cards that that you know, get cards out of your opponents archives.
- 43:37But it does so like everybody wants to play Wins of Death, right
- 43:40it, it does create some situations where you're like, oh, shoot,
- 43:45dude, I actually want to do this because I don't want that in my
- 43:47archive because I don't want it overpowered stuff. Yeah, but it gets it
- 43:52off, It gets it off the board. I mean, I feel like
- 43:57you can't play this set without plague. Wins of Death and artifacts are already
- 44:00so slow. I don't have a one deck that I play. I feel
- 44:06like this is like a three is like it's fine, Like there's nothing wrong
- 44:12with it, it's fine. Well, it is symmetrical that if you have
- 44:15an artifact and your opponent doesn't you have to put it in. Well,
- 44:19that's when you just discard it. I agree, and there's no downside there,
- 44:23but there's no pip. I just but be aware there's still a lot
- 44:30of people who like to just play cards for the sake of playing cards and
- 44:34don't actually read that. We're not going to score cards based off of people
- 44:37being bad that is not that is distinctly not the point of Z score.
- 44:47We'll call it the I want I want to put it a three. It
- 44:52feels right. Yeah, what does Poltergeist get guys hasn't. Yeah, polter
- 45:00Get is used older guys, is better than this in my opinion, I
- 45:07think got a four and it has an amber and yes I had a five,
- 45:13Poulter. I'm thinking the other the new Geist from this set that has
- 45:17like, yeah, Poltergeist Reclaimed is a six. Yeah, this is a
- 45:24I yeah, I think this is three. Was a five? What else
- 45:36takes four? Well? Z hasn't at a five? Okay, okay,
- 45:45the score says you got to have that hard are artifact control or I don't
- 45:52feel like this is a five? Maybe she was here and I would say
- 45:59something, but it's gotta be just you know, like you want artifact control
- 46:04in your decks. This is artifact control. Yeah, I mean yeah,
- 46:08you want you gotta get rid of that jar at the right time, right,
- 46:15So yeah, yeah, maybe it's right. I guess if they're jarring,
- 46:21still feels wrong? All right? Uh? Exed Avenger three Power Martian
- 46:28Soldier play after our play slash after fight give Avenger a plus one power counter
- 46:35for each Mars card in your discard pile. Scrap, give a friendly creature
- 46:39a plus one powder power counter for each Mars card in your discard pile,
- 46:47and plus one for each Mars So he is like playing a seven power creature
- 46:54like on average, is gonna be like seven eight power dude. Or you
- 46:58can fatten up a friend. Yeah, you can make your doctors sixa fricks.
- 47:06You know, there isn't a lot of other stuff that works with powers
- 47:12specifically crazy. Although waste not is in set, so waste not Avenger is.
- 47:21I'm not going to call it a combo, but it is a scrap
- 47:24effect. I mean you can have a tight pit, make something real,
- 47:30real big, and then waste not. This can all happen in one turn
- 47:34pretty quickly. Yeah, so it's kind of this is again it's a rare.
- 47:38It has some value. It's somebody it's rare. Is like you just
- 47:43you look at them and it's like, man, they don't look like rares.
- 47:45I mean this is probably correctly rare too, because like it's a thing
- 47:49that can happen, it can be good, it can be made like this
- 47:53to me feels like a four, Like, oh huge, this guy could
- 47:58get he can't get three. He can be small lost eleven, he can
- 48:05do like things. He can do a lot of nod to too, So
- 48:07like we know how we feel about really big bodies. Quintessential three point five
- 48:19three, he's somewhere between a three and a four. Indeed, he just
- 48:22sits in three land, three land. That seems fair. Yeah, he
- 48:27is is just a card. You have one of them, It's okay.
- 48:30Yeah, And for those of you wondering at home, yes we did lose
- 48:34an Ewok. It is his wife's birthday, so he's going to do a
- 48:38wife Bertha. I'll be back in seven and a half minutes. That's right,
- 48:44that's a specific time. But anyway, moving onward to loyal implant,
- 48:51it's another artifact loyal tea. Loyalty implants. I'm sorry, I didn't miss
- 48:55the t item need destroy it. Loyal teeth implants. You may use friendly
- 49:04Mars creatures this time. So what was that? What the the speedy what
- 49:13was it called before? But only let you use two Mars cards? But
- 49:17it had a pip on it? Yeah it was I could see it.
- 49:21I had like little like fist had very busy art. Yeah, oh,
- 49:25you only use them, so I can't even really do my xixel friction.
- 49:30I can kind of do my you can you if you that one specifically that
- 49:36other card and I can't play them, so I can kind of do sixel
- 49:39frictions. I can do it ready, Yes, so I can frictionigans.
- 49:47You can go with this one. You can go full zixel friction agans off
- 49:52turn, and I have done it a few times. Loyalty Implants makes killing
- 49:57Mars creatures a necessity once this card's down, and then I play three or
- 50:01four MARSK guys and you're like going, hmmm, it's it has the same
- 50:07kind of effects as the Mutagenic Serum. That's all the fun. You're well,
- 50:13that's that's another card, similar style effects where you're going, oh boy,
- 50:17they're going to get a heck of a turn if I don't keep this
- 50:21board maintained. This one's a little easier to play against because you only have
- 50:23to kill a single house. But I've had pretty good effect the Loyalty Implants,
- 50:31But again, I feel like it's another card that needs other cards to
- 50:35do a thing. So I just want to put creatures right, even if
- 50:38you just reap for three with this, that's pretty darn good. I suppose
- 50:42three Embers, three Ember, right, yeah, twenty bucks, and you
- 50:46do have to land them. You have to land this, then they have
- 50:50to live, and then you got to go off ouse and and then you
- 50:53can do it. Yes, So I don't want to put it in.
- 50:59I'm gonna put it at a three land I'm still gonna put it at very
- 51:01mid sept What did you say four? I said four. I put it
- 51:08a three. You put it off you up Z gives it a two average.
- 51:15This is going to get you one amber, right, I don't have
- 51:20one creature when you get to trigger it because you know people aren't gonna let
- 51:23you do this. I mean it's like you're forcing them to respond. It's
- 51:29ever gotten. I could see three, I could see three, but it's
- 51:37yeah. I I've liked it. I've had pretty good effect. I've even
- 51:43proliferated it back into my archives to replay MM to have more sel friction and
- 51:50against all right, let's go to Sheep's favorite card, the Nameless Horror two
- 51:54power Alien Poison. When you're haunted, it gains elusive and skirmish. The
- 52:02Sheep loves this card, even the relatively disturbing looking tritter art on this.
- 52:09This thing is wretched from top to bottom. Yeah, this is the kind
- 52:15of garbage. But he's gonna bad. Okay, what have I always said
- 52:23about Zito's bloodshed? Bad? Okay? This card is worse. Well,
- 52:30it doesn't bring in Toad. I don't know if it's worse. Yeah,
- 52:34I mean, yeah, it doesn't bring in its garbage because it's almost toad
- 52:37by his damn self. This could reap. This is true if this would
- 52:45have been like a super creepy looking toad. I mean, this is a
- 52:49one. Like it's not it's not better than that. It's definitely a one.
- 52:52Yeah, blood zero. So I don't know what I agree with the
- 53:04one I got to find it in this That was a pretty quick one.
- 53:12Oh yeah, like how often it is a one? Yeah? Okay,
- 53:17there you go. Do you feel better or not? Like it's gonna die?
- 53:21And if it doesn't, I almost forget that you can vote think zero.
- 53:24I haven't sort of alphabetical yeah, weird, like let's say you fight
- 53:30with it stinks? This is mister perfect likes this card. Of course he
- 53:35does tells you how bad it is. Who likes it? Sorry, mister
- 53:39perfect, who says cursus spontaneity is the best and he's also a fan of
- 53:45Ben Rylo. Oh my god, yeah, I think he's on drugs.
- 53:51I really do, might be, I don't know. Start taking pictures of
- 53:54him and start putting them in the chat. That way everyone else can decide.
- 54:00All right over clock shot Collar. It is an artifact pippa number.
- 54:05Every time you play it, this creature games after reap stun this creature in
- 54:09each of its neighbors, scrap unstun each Mars creature. I'm happy it has
- 54:19an A. Well, it's actually almost said it no, no, because
- 54:23this is this is a best name, worst affecting game. Yep, it's
- 54:30a two. I think it's a two. It has an it right,
- 54:35has an amber. Yea. That's why I'm giving it the twos when you
- 54:39play it while whatever, I'm just throwing this and you're never on that.
- 54:47Never in the history of ever I've been like, I'm gonna scrap this and
- 54:51unstun all my Mars creatures and your opponent's Mars creatures. Oh yeah, and
- 54:55your creatures. Well, someday somebody is going to be like, I'm gonna
- 55:00em people have to be like and they're gonna come back and go over clock
- 55:06shot collars, scraping everything. What now, I I guess the reap actually
- 55:15on its neighbors is a little better. But but you're not weeping with it.
- 55:19You're throwing this thing into the biggest thing you can and just to kill
- 55:22it, kill it whatever whatever my opponent plays it on. I'm just I'm
- 55:30not reaching. Yeah, Okay, well then I'm gonna kill my sixel fricks
- 55:36because it's just this is what it is right now when I'm winning. Okay,
- 55:38this card's better than I thought it was. It's fine. Well,
- 55:44I mean from a one to a two, I guess destroy them all is
- 55:50on set, right, so technically I can sit around and wait to try
- 55:53to destroy this. Wow Z gives it a too, so there you go.
- 55:59It's two spew locksom spew or two power Soldier Martians splash attack two each
- 56:07of flaps. Oh my goodness, each of flocksom spewers. Mars Neighbors gained
- 56:12splash attack too. I screwed this up all the time forgetting it, says
- 56:17Mars Neighbors. Yep, this card is a disappointment. The Nameless Horror it's
- 56:25about the same. I mean it's splash attack too. I don't know why,
- 56:32but no, this card is less sad than the Nameless Horror, although
- 56:36it shouldn't be. Maybe it's because the art isn't nameless or art. But
- 56:42yes, this card is just still and thet The thing is is this is
- 56:46a card that's taking up a common slot and he's maybe the worst common creature
- 56:52in Mars, so it's all one for that alone. I agree, he's
- 56:59a one. I put m one to sinker blockhom Spewer is the one one
- 57:07perfect because you attack and splash attack and he dies. Like they could give
- 57:13him skirmish or something. I don't know. That's too powerful. Yeah,
- 57:17that's gonna be the new catchphrase. That was too powerful. Splash Really you
- 57:22want to give skirmish on a two power creature, take off the and splash
- 57:29attack plague wind play until the end of turn, each non Mars creature gets
- 57:36mine's three power. This was a preview card too. We feel like it's
- 57:43bad all at the same time, like it's no, it's good, it's
- 57:45good, and it's often better than good. It's good. Yeah, I
- 57:50guess you're controlling it so well. You keep playing crappy Mars decks like the
- 57:54BRS decks. I have any of the good Mars decks, the decks I've
- 57:59been if it's Mars, like Mars is the star of the show. And
- 58:05this is a card that again I'm archiving with the different cards to let me
- 58:08archive to keep replaying, and it can keep board dominance, and then you
- 58:15just get to keep doing martianigans like the Plague Winds and it gets around wards.
- 58:22It doesn't care about elusive, it doesn't care about your armor boom dead
- 58:28good card because Sheep keeps pulling the zixel fricks, proliferator, all the combo
- 58:35stuff. And I'm sitting over here playing Collars, hard time getting ecto charge.
- 58:43So I will and you know I only have. I only have the
- 58:45one. All right, what do you what? What I give it?
- 58:51I want to give it a three. I want it to be in midy
- 58:52Midland. But that's just my experience with it. It's a four four plan
- 59:00tigher than average card plan ten. It is an artifact. It's a plan
- 59:07Abody's winner. Is it? Ten of them? There were well, there
- 59:10were nine before this, So I'm curious to see what they bring for the
- 59:15other nine plans. That's all far superior to Plan nine fire Plan nine,
- 59:20but at the end of each player's turn return a card from under Plan ten
- 59:23to its owner's hand. There are no cards under Plan ten. Destroy Plan
- 59:28ten play put each non Mars creature face up under Plan ten. I have
- 59:37had an opportunity to play with this. It is interesting, it seems that's
- 59:45good, Like I could load up a board full of creature critters. I
- 59:50know, because that seems bad too. Well, you know, I'm back
- 59:53to yourself slowly. That's terrible. Yeah, no, no, But but
- 59:57what's good is like I keep talking about Wins of Death. You can tell
- 1:00:00what I've been playing against, but this removes your opponent's creatures and doesn't put
- 1:00:06them in their discard pile, which is half the time what they want.
- 1:00:10They're like, yeah, kill my dudes, I'll just I'll just Wins of
- 1:00:13Death them and archive them. You have some serious Winds of Death like PTSD.
- 1:00:21Yes, well, I mean, but I also play Wins of Death,
- 1:00:23So who I'm trying to feel like even like if offset too right,
- 1:00:31I kept playing when I was playing it online in one of Loca Cars events
- 1:00:38maybe, and I kept having to just put like three or four of their
- 1:00:43creatures under them and then feed them back slowly. But it is interesting.
- 1:00:49You do have to look at a couple of things. The card says is
- 1:00:52it's the end of each player's turn, right, it is not just your
- 1:00:57turn. So at the end of their turn they to look through that pile
- 1:01:00of cards, and in addition, so they drew their hand, and then
- 1:01:05they look at everything that's captured under this card or whatever planned under this card,
- 1:01:09and they get to pick one of their creatures to put back in their
- 1:01:14hand if they want it, or they can put like if they know you're
- 1:01:17gonna play, and this is two sided, right, it works both ways.
- 1:01:22But if you if they know you want to play marsin Extern and they
- 1:01:24can be like, oh, you could have your Equidon creature back because I
- 1:01:28know I'm gonna hand choke you with it. Ha haha. It has been
- 1:01:35interesting. I also kept playing it when only they had creatures, and then
- 1:01:39they would have freaking pips and play effects that I was just like, I
- 1:01:44still have to clear the board because I'm behind. But this isn't great.
- 1:01:49I've had It's it's fine, but I've had some intermediates. Yeah. I
- 1:01:57mean, honestly, I only have one deck with this, but I really
- 1:02:01enjoyed it when I played it, so I maybe I'm a little biased there,
- 1:02:07but I felt like it was super helpful. Three. It's got to
- 1:02:12be at least a four. I would give it a three after my experience,
- 1:02:16but z has it had a four. But it's definitely bored clear again,
- 1:02:22it is bounce, It does not destroy. It does have some interesting
- 1:02:28issues, got some weird anti synergies too, But yeah, all right,
- 1:02:34Psychic Hayse artifact. It's a power everybody wanted to know. And raged cultures
- 1:02:40cannot be used to fight friendly Mars creatures action and rage each enemy creature.
- 1:02:52Does that mean I'm allowed to reap with them? Then if you rag Mars
- 1:02:57creatures, I guess let's say, so, I know, I play my
- 1:03:00shock Herder or ready, my dude, he's now enraged, right, I
- 1:03:05can't fight with him because Psychic kas tells me I'm not allowed to. I
- 1:03:07can just gain a space dollar now, right, that's right, I only
- 1:03:13have Mars creatures. You cannot fight. So this card kind of sucks.
- 1:03:19What because because ready and fight doesn't No, this is like I play my
- 1:03:27zixel frick Shenanigans and you can't fight them down. So I'm just gonna go
- 1:03:31butnos, buts, I'm gonna go crazy. And man, I wish I
- 1:03:38found any of these crazys just old none of them. Well, it's all
- 1:03:45dreams like I have zixel fricks dreams. Draascrps has ones of death nightmares as
- 1:03:52they should be. And look he's got some equedon decks and he's kind of
- 1:03:57sad that they all have three you, Tutor Ben Rilos, All right,
- 1:04:02so I psyche K is enraged. It's a little bit slow. You have
- 1:04:11to have a Mars board you want to play with? Do you think is
- 1:04:15going to happen? But it's not guaranteed. It makes me want to put
- 1:04:17this card at like two or three because it's just not guaranteed to be meaningful,
- 1:04:25not enrage. I can just do what I want. Yeah, but
- 1:04:29this action and rage each creature. Yeah, don't forget that. There is
- 1:04:35a what is it? I forget the card, but it's in set.
- 1:04:41It just says I can ready and fight with a creature. It's Brabner shot
- 1:04:46no l in rage, yeah, shock Herder, just ready and fight,
- 1:04:53right is that ready Mike Club isn't in the set. Sorry, No,
- 1:04:57the action car that just says ready and fight with a friend the creature I
- 1:05:01want it gives it skirmish or whatever? No, I don't think it does,
- 1:05:04but it doesn't matter. All right, they're Brobner. They pretty much
- 1:05:10have skirmish. The The other thing is if you're off house, then all
- 1:05:14the unraised creatures do have to fight, which means they're not raping in.
- 1:05:16It might actually be better in that regard, because if you don't have just
- 1:05:19Mars creatures, now they have to fight, and then they have to fight
- 1:05:24things that are not Mars. I don't know. Like I'm I've not had
- 1:05:30I've not got to play this me neither. Yeah, I can see this
- 1:05:33causing significant issues to certain types of decks, but I don't know. I'm
- 1:05:40not convinced yet. So two, what does he say? He's a five?
- 1:05:46WHOA Okay, he likes the hazy life. I yeah, yeah,
- 1:05:55I have very little experience with this. I don't know that I've ever actioned.
- 1:05:58That's I don't know. If I am searching out decks with this,
- 1:06:03I don't know, not on its own. But okay, yeah, I
- 1:06:10agree, like I don't think this is a five, but I think it
- 1:06:14has the potential to be a five if you get Christmas Land like you're talking
- 1:06:17about. Yeah, all right, but not shrink Ray, shrink Ray technician,
- 1:06:24the only Martian with a mustache, just saying three power scientist, Martian
- 1:06:30mutant. I haven't seen that keyword in a while. After we choose an
- 1:06:34enemy creature, it gets minus two power until the end of the turn.
- 1:06:38Scrap choose the most powerful enemy creature until the end of the turn. The
- 1:06:42creature is considered to have one power and zero armor. Okay one. In
- 1:06:48live play, I cheat with this card all the time and forget the most
- 1:06:54powerful enemy part when I scrap and I just picked the Yeah, I'm prominally
- 1:07:02cheated with this card. So so this card is super weird, right,
- 1:07:08So it's got that most powerful creature not great color, Well, it's but
- 1:07:14it's also rules confusing. So if you have two of them, I reap
- 1:07:19targeting the creature and I scrap targeting the same creature. What happens? It
- 1:07:25dies? Does it? It does? Because it is set to one power.
- 1:07:31It doesn't matter if it has plus power or minus power on it.
- 1:07:36It is set to one power. I scraped to take him down to one
- 1:07:42power, and then I reap target him against that's not what I said,
- 1:07:46I said, and then scrap he's definitely But even if he's scrapped and then
- 1:07:53the other way around, don't think it works. But it gets minus too
- 1:07:57till in turn doesn't matter. Considered one power. Yeah, once I give
- 1:08:04a minus two power, was that not put him at now? Because he
- 1:08:09is considered one power I'm having now I'm giving a minus two one. The
- 1:08:17argument that the rules nerds said is you have to think of it as this
- 1:08:23is setting it to one power does not matter what happens to the power.
- 1:08:27If he has pluses, he has minuses, he has multipliers, So what
- 1:08:30happens to the minus nothing, It's one power, one of the power tokens.
- 1:08:39They are not in a fact, while he's one power. It's super
- 1:08:43weird. He is one power. You cannot change this. What is what
- 1:08:49is what is the rule? What about after you scrap this guy to set
- 1:08:56it to one power and then well that one doesn't work? But again,
- 1:09:03what is the rules? Like thing that the nerds are citing to say,
- 1:09:06Well, this is why it is the way it is like we don't really
- 1:09:10have a rule that proteins. There's no freaking rules in key for Yeah,
- 1:09:18this card is so what I said. It is weird because I know with
- 1:09:23the Sixel fricks, I have a deck where I have Zixel fricks and Rebel
- 1:09:28and I have done it where I've scrapped this card because we played it live
- 1:09:31and this was before I saw their rules. Thing that I agree doesn't read
- 1:09:36well to me. And you know, I scraped this guy that reap with
- 1:09:42my Zixel fritz er whatever he is. And then I play this back and
- 1:09:45he comes in and play ready, and I reap with him and I go
- 1:09:48that dies, and they go, yeah, that makes sense. And then
- 1:09:53the rules guys say, we like rules that make sense. We like to
- 1:10:00make things not But again, I just I want to know what point are
- 1:10:03they like, oh because of rule blah blah blah. This is why this
- 1:10:09is the the time. It's something to do with the clarification on the rules
- 1:10:16for that disartifact that sets everything to one power, the dark Pale Star or
- 1:10:24whatever there are. There have been rules answers, or there's something around the
- 1:10:28Pale Star that helps make this decision. In this case, I probably didn't
- 1:10:34like the Pale Star ruling either, but I never looked at it because nobody
- 1:10:39cares about isn't this the first time we've ever had a minus power ever?
- 1:10:44Is there anything else that subtracts power from anything? Uh? I don't know
- 1:10:51anybody. That's what we're hearing for. I'm here rules bys because of straight
- 1:11:01garbage. Get out of here. You don't make any sense. Target.
- 1:11:08Well, he's a three. I don't even know two. I mean,
- 1:11:16I like the drink Gray. I'd put him at three Virginea on the ray
- 1:11:20of four because I like him. Z doesn't. He's got it two mm
- 1:11:25hmm, and I like the drink ray, so I think he's wrong again.
- 1:11:28He's bad at Mars. Let's go to Target. Uans the bowl two
- 1:11:39power Soldier Martian play archive a card from your disccard pile after reap archive target
- 1:11:47Yep, yep. This is dumb so good anything like memorics right is memoris?
- 1:11:56Is that getting that right? Again? He la with all the fun
- 1:12:00stuff because he could play and then reap and then the gust By card that
- 1:12:04just archives the top of that. Remember is good. This card is anything
- 1:12:12you want. I think of four. I don't remember probably this. This
- 1:12:17feels five. I mean especially especially if you get the Magic Christmas land Mars
- 1:12:25and a couple of him. Well, you got rebels, so you get
- 1:12:30like you got all sorts of fun that can get that. He only gets
- 1:12:36a four four? Tell us? Why is he? Tell us? Why?
- 1:12:43Yeah, he doesn't know how Terrible teammates talk about Terrible teammates. Yeah,
- 1:12:50November, every time you play the Terrible Teammates this card. Yeah,
- 1:12:58I think So he's in the bubble. Are you right there? Yeah?
- 1:13:01Southerly, what happened to that guy? I don't know. He just kind
- 1:13:04of now he's on his grip of self improvement, like school job. He's
- 1:13:11probably going to the gym next summer. Is going to be jacked. And
- 1:13:15I will say, I'm on we recorded some podcasts. Yeah, I am
- 1:13:18on a hub notification for the draw Better Do cards. He's gonna changes he's
- 1:13:25been. He's gonna he's five to two in just swallow his na come kick
- 1:13:30our ass for given a hard time. He's just he's like one of the
- 1:13:34lollipop kids, just jacked. He submitted three p r s while we've been
- 1:13:40recording. Yeah, I'm not even kidding. Pull requests he did. He's
- 1:13:45been updating, draw better dot cards, recording. This is why we pay
- 1:13:48him nothing. You know, enhanced with a draw a drop hip and it
- 1:13:56just and a tight pip play you may card and non Mars card early early
- 1:14:04and people who are newer to the game don't like this. I don't you
- 1:14:11know a lot of people already don't like type pips. And then this card
- 1:14:14is just like also type pipping you option it is. It is your optional
- 1:14:19type PIP and it's a pip November, so hey, you know it's basically
- 1:14:23reads gamer. And then I see people play this and then not use the
- 1:14:28effect, and I'm like, uh. And then you know they don't discard,
- 1:14:33and then they still have cards in their hand at the end of the
- 1:14:35turn they enter in the next turn they call a different house and they play
- 1:14:40like four cards in another house and I'm like, I wouldn't have played any
- 1:14:45of those cards. Couldn't you have discard that? I don't understand what's going
- 1:14:48on? Like they you could have done better cards that they should be getting
- 1:14:53rid of, Like people keep four power pointless creatures. This is what Because
- 1:14:59Keith players are fucking orders, well every last one of them, well they
- 1:15:05But this is where key Forge is different than a lot of other games,
- 1:15:09right, A lot of other card games you don't draw back up right,
- 1:15:12You're you're holding onto cards is an important move. That is not the case
- 1:15:17here, right, getting rid of cards is good. Here. Listen all
- 1:15:21y'all need to go find you a Kisas deck. Right, And it's basically
- 1:15:26a deck that has enough tight pips and a couple of these to where you
- 1:15:30only play two houses and you will realize how awesome they are. Yeah,
- 1:15:35like it is such like I feel like WHOA took a lot of the handcrafting
- 1:15:42out was just like spew tokens, and then like this set was like we're
- 1:15:46going to handcraft, but in a different way, Like we're just gonna let
- 1:15:49you burn and turn right, Like if you're just not happy with what you're
- 1:15:54holding, and like your next turn is kind of garbage, We're just gonna
- 1:15:58let you get rid of it and try again. This card plus our future
- 1:16:02read and out of ten, this card ends up with a tight pip on
- 1:16:08it. So you're just garden baby. Really, I always coming with drop
- 1:16:12it? Oh yeah I don't even get that. Yeah, but yeah,
- 1:16:16with you though, and terrible teammates and like you can stay in Mars because
- 1:16:24you thin out everything and then you discard a couple of non march cars you
- 1:16:28have and you just keep the tear on. I really enjoyed Terrible Teammates.
- 1:16:34I think this was a preview card too, wasn't it? And we were
- 1:16:38mediocre on it in play. Sure, I'm liking this. I would give
- 1:16:42it a four. Yeah, I love Terrible Teammates, although I would still
- 1:16:45just give it a four. I like it. I would almost say this
- 1:16:49one might be a five just but m I mean, I wouldn't give it
- 1:16:56a five, but definitely if it comes with that tight pip, there ain't
- 1:17:00nothing better. The uh it accelerates, right, The more typeis you have,
- 1:17:06the more cards I can see, the more trash I can get rid
- 1:17:11of out of my hand. You're guarantee to have trash to a point to
- 1:17:15a point. At some point it starts to get crazy, which is even
- 1:17:19INEX. You've got a little bit of trash that you can just never have
- 1:17:23to see. It turns out Z as a soft spot for his team.
- 1:17:30Okay, and he's only given this a three. Three. I gave it
- 1:17:32four. Yeah, three, Okay, I mean maybe yeah, now he's
- 1:17:38wrong yea, so we could definitely say he's wrong. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:17:44what's up with that guy the body So I don't see this card either a
- 1:17:48ton but it's rare. The Body Snatcher's action play for the remainder of the
- 1:17:53turn each enemy creature games destroyed. Fully, heal this creature and give it
- 1:17:59give control of it to your opponent instead. Something tells me that he also
- 1:18:04likes this card because again the remainder of the turn, each enemy creature gains,
- 1:18:11you kill it and take control. Okay, mm hmm, no,
- 1:18:17this is garbage. What in the same way that any of the cards that
- 1:18:27are play and friendly Creatures gain reap or play friendly Creatures game fight do this?
- 1:18:33This is the same thing as you have to play this card and then
- 1:18:39you have to have a way to destroy their creatures. But mean anything that's
- 1:18:45I mean yeah, yeah, no, it's it's combo right, Like if
- 1:18:50you have Plague Wind in this. I don't think it matters because it's still
- 1:18:56going to be minus three. Yea minus three destroys them. But here's the
- 1:19:00funny thing is they're still freaking destroyed when they come on your side, so
- 1:19:04they're gone, right, so there's still so winds and Mars doesn't have we
- 1:19:16have one. There's one. We're gonna talk about it combos with that.
- 1:19:20Sure, you want to talk about that on common? You know those are
- 1:19:29strong. Okay, body snatchers can snatch its way into somebody else's deck.
- 1:19:34This is a one. No. I mean, there are gonna be times
- 1:19:40when it's very good, but I not It's never gonna be doesn't I guess
- 1:19:44it doesn't combo with a common. I was sort of thinking, now,
- 1:19:51uh, it's got to be at least a two. Though it's a one,
- 1:19:56it's gonna hundred percent be a one. Sheep's right. He likes it,
- 1:20:00He's got it out of four. He goes there, but he may
- 1:20:04not realize this is a common. He has a dream. I don't what
- 1:20:13else does this combo with besides the War of the worlds just fighting dudes with
- 1:20:17all your flocks and spewers and all your splash damage, and my nameless horror
- 1:20:23is just running around. You can't even name you got so many many name
- 1:20:32them. They just running around poisoning people died because you're not. If you
- 1:20:40get ten poison damage, you die, didn't you know? Texts distinction extinctions
- 1:20:46and set. That's rare. Okay, it's now rare rare or rare uncommon.
- 1:20:55It's not looking good man, going back to the body snatchers. Yes,
- 1:21:01so just following what happens here, just destroyed trigger goes on the creature.
- 1:21:14Trigger is destroyed. Effect fully heal this creature and give it to your
- 1:21:19opponent. Okay, this was This wasn't a replacement of fact. The creature
- 1:21:29is still destroyed in the discard. This card does not work. This card
- 1:21:35would have to read this creature gains replaced destroyed with fully healing, but the
- 1:21:43creature is still destroyed. It does come to your side, so if it
- 1:21:45has amber on it to them. Okay, that's great, somebody, if
- 1:21:58anybody listens to this, they cant asked the rules guys on why I'm wrong,
- 1:22:01But just got a quick read here again, this card works zero zero
- 1:22:10They don't. They don't die, they never so they just they get the
- 1:22:14destroyed trigger, but never hit the discard pile. They're never removed from field.
- 1:22:18So yes, if they have ember on them, they will just go
- 1:22:21to you along with the ember and then go to the discard because they're still
- 1:22:27destroyed destroyed trigger. The destroyed take didn't go away. They moved the destroyed
- 1:22:33tag. They are still sitting on you with the destroyed fag. You finished
- 1:22:38all the destroyed effects and then you move all destroyed take creatures to the discard,
- 1:22:43which is this so yeah, oh my gosh current. I wonder if
- 1:22:50this card gets currently Yes, car one, that's awesome. All right,
- 1:23:04speaking of reasons, I want to cut myself the Red Death. It's a
- 1:23:11giant praying mantis. Yeah. I've always had beasts and stars ship cards.
- 1:23:19But anyways, with you and now it's going to eat your head. Yeah,
- 1:23:24I mean I I love wasting good art on garbage cards. Garbage,
- 1:23:30Okay, so it doesn't have some enhancements. It's it's what's two steps above
- 1:23:34garbage mold. Anyways, this is a damage and two tight damage and two
- 1:23:44type pips. It's a twelve power beast. It can't ready unless you're haunted
- 1:23:50after a right, but after fight you gain on and draw card. Kill
- 1:23:56something gay a space book and draw card. Okay with that. Yeah,
- 1:24:01so it's mold. So it's a three three. If it got to a
- 1:24:10for it's because it has double type pips. Yeah, I do like the
- 1:24:14double yeah, I'll say three, but I could be talked to before,
- 1:24:17like the double type is common. I gotta, I gotta sorry, I
- 1:24:21am rubbing butter on myself. And as because of the tights, yeah they
- 1:24:30do make me. Oh, Domino just joined he likes to be a fancy
- 1:24:35judge type. Read and tell us and why it sucks and tell me I'm
- 1:24:44right that that card doesn't actually give you control keep control of creatures. All
- 1:24:50right, So now we're gonna go on to you UFO. Oh you okay,
- 1:24:54So Domino, you need to go read the Body Snatchers, right and
- 1:25:00and tell us why it doesn't actually work. The way it's written will inform
- 1:25:04you at the end if you need to, All right, uf oh pip
- 1:25:08of Ember every time you play it. And this is some boss ass are
- 1:25:13because of the used UFO alien salesman love it with flames on the UFO Yeah,
- 1:25:19yeah, definitely increases the price. And not only that he is wearing
- 1:25:25a such a sleazy used UFO plaid jacket. It's great, It's fantastic.
- 1:25:31Who made this one? Scott Schomberg double thumbs up. Play discard cards from
- 1:25:40the top of your deck until you discard a Myers card or run out of
- 1:25:43cards. If you discard a Myers card this way, put it into your
- 1:25:45hand. This uh is so this is just the Logos card. So this
- 1:25:51says logic get haunted, maybe more or less in a set that wants you
- 1:25:58to have cards or your Discord file. Sure it does, and you're gonna
- 1:26:02find your Zixel fricks, which is just gonna allow you to combo. I
- 1:26:10don't know, I like it. It's probably I mean, like left Logica
- 1:26:13was bonkers. This is crazy these Uh yeah, I love UFO style cards.
- 1:26:20It's probably a three. I don't know four or five. No,
- 1:26:26it's it's a yeah, it's definitely at least a four. It's not a
- 1:26:31five. It's the way it's five. I could I could be talked up
- 1:26:34to a four five. There you go. Man, What the fuck was
- 1:26:42he doing when he did MARSI no, this is a great card, dude,
- 1:26:45He's right. This card is awesome. I don't know if it's five
- 1:26:48awesome. I mean yeah, I mean I said four, but I could
- 1:26:56I could see five right to a five. It's flipping over, right.
- 1:27:00You're getting a card that you're that you know you can use, right.
- 1:27:04Yeah, it's making you more haunted. I can also at the wrong time
- 1:27:11draw you right down to the end of your deck and unhaunt you. So
- 1:27:14it's not well but you know that, but at that point you should know,
- 1:27:17like sure, But I'm just saying like it's I don't know the haunted
- 1:27:21part. I don't know if I care that, but that sweet sweet Pip
- 1:27:26November the other so something and I think we talked about it with Lethalogica and
- 1:27:33where lethalogical was super good in uh m M is Lethalogica in a set within
- 1:27:44that a bunch of draw hips in house, so you play Leftalogica first and
- 1:27:47you are automatically like sorting your draw pile to less non Logos cards, so
- 1:27:57then when you start playing your draw pips, you're more likely to hit lowest
- 1:28:00cards. It's the same thing here with UFO, like once you've played UFO,
- 1:28:05you now clean out a bunch of non Mars cards, which means you're
- 1:28:09more likely to still draw for Mars guards and stay in house for the rest
- 1:28:15of the game because it filters your draw pile down to a house, which
- 1:28:18every once in a while, as we know, a sound the horns and
- 1:28:21UFO and these kinds of cards is sometimes something you want is still in your
- 1:28:27draw pile and you can't afford to play it. That can happen, But
- 1:28:30in general, that ability to color sort your deck through these kinds of cards
- 1:28:36is very very powerful. But five very very powerful, all right, worksome
- 1:28:45the diplomat two power politician Martian. He's elusive after reap, lose all your
- 1:28:54ember, destroy an enemy non mars creature for each ember lost the sway.
- 1:29:03Yeah, I mean so this is sort of like a shatterstorm and the creature
- 1:29:10No no, no no no no no no no no no no, you're
- 1:29:14right stry to me creature, Yeah, the wrong thing. One this card
- 1:29:23at the right time with your Dixie Frixie combos can keep their board clear again.
- 1:29:28But often this card is not desirable because you cannot reap with it because
- 1:29:34you lose all your amberor you just got one or yeah, well, which
- 1:29:41means he always kills a creature. So if you reap with them first zero
- 1:29:45creatures, well then he's back to doing nothing. But that the stry a
- 1:29:51creature, you know, targeted destruction is good. I would that bumps it
- 1:29:57up to a two for me, but in general not amazing. I mean,
- 1:30:00he's gotta be losing too, right, because because he can have a
- 1:30:03really powerful effect, there's plenty of ways to play him in common on play,
- 1:30:09to use him on play. Right, So he has rated this anything
- 1:30:14higher than a one, I'm losing all faith in him. What now it's
- 1:30:17a two? Aggressive negotiations are their specialty. At one point that to one
- 1:30:24amber was not worth one creature. Oh he's never said that he had.
- 1:30:30Maybe not to you, he hasn't. I mean you would totally lose an
- 1:30:33ember to destroy, Like you know, if I could spend an amber destroy
- 1:30:38hunting, I would every day. Yeah, oh yeah, like anywhere one
- 1:30:45amber for one Garbo creature. No, but this is targeted, right,
- 1:30:49You're not going to spend that on the nameless horror or will I? Or
- 1:30:56will you? So I like I said, this leaves it as a too.
- 1:31:00Generally don't want it. Every once in a while, it's really strong.
- 1:31:03I said, it can keep you in your mars longer because you can
- 1:31:09control their board. Ah, So I I have it as a too,
- 1:31:15and Z also has it as a two. I think you have over rated
- 1:31:20him, but that's what I've played with him. He can be very defastating.
- 1:31:27You give up them and Amber to clean their board and then you win
- 1:31:30the game because you just did a one sided Boardlike mm hmm, my wife,
- 1:31:35is you just ecto charge? You don't need Amber in this game anymore.
- 1:31:42My wife is sending me shirts on TIMU. So one is flamingos,
- 1:31:47one is bears wearing Hawaiian shirts, and one is flowers and now I kind
- 1:31:51of want them all. One is sasquatch wearing Oh don't these are pretty awesome?
- 1:31:59All right? This team is making a big push, like all these
- 1:32:01ads and stuff. Ever three stuff heard that they bought on team all They're
- 1:32:05like, this is the cheapest important junk I've ever owned. Really, I've
- 1:32:11bought some really good stuff off TM. Well, I don't do online shopping
- 1:32:15much, so you don't do shopping much period of the story. Oh crap,
- 1:32:21I spend money like it's going on of style. I'm an idiot.
- 1:32:25Okay. War of the World's Action play Destroyl non Myers creatures deal two damage
- 1:32:33to each Myers creature bard clear that dog it does. But well unless you
- 1:32:45set them to one power, yes, because power are you still dealing on
- 1:32:50the damage. So at that point one zero, Oh yeah, it's enemy
- 1:32:55creature. Okay, yeah, this, uh but the this is often this
- 1:33:00is a chainless one started kind of board wipe. So it's a five,
- 1:33:05is what you're saying. Yep, and I heard I heard chainless board wipe.
- 1:33:10And I know how Z like touches himself when he hears that. So
- 1:33:14I heard five. Yep, five, it is perfect. And now let's
- 1:33:23get to one of the better names in this game, Zip the Implanter mm
- 1:33:29hmm three power scientist Martian Elusive. After rep take control of the enemy creature,
- 1:33:36destroy a friendly creature, yeah, which is like you take control of
- 1:33:44your enemy's creature which is now your creature, and then you just kill it
- 1:33:46or you kill one of yours you don't like as much, right, Like
- 1:33:51it's uh, it's pretty cool, pretty cool. People are playing Mars Man
- 1:33:57and then you take their good Mars creature and and you destroy your pointless Mars
- 1:34:01creature and use their good Mars creature and then you've win games, right,
- 1:34:05and it's going to be ready, right, so you're gonna use it.
- 1:34:08So there have so so Rebel Implanter Sixel fricks is what I later is in
- 1:34:18part of this just lose three cards together. That's rule sex yep, well
- 1:34:25it can that you your opponent has half enough creatures? Sure? No,
- 1:34:29Actually they don't have to have creatures, right because you just as much as
- 1:34:31you can to keep killing. They're they're trying to give this the clever name.
- 1:34:39And they had some some name and it did not have some sexual innuendo
- 1:34:47within planter in it, and I told him it was unacceptable. Yes,
- 1:34:54that's my opinion. So I'm I'm for naming that combo, but it should
- 1:34:58be inappropriate. All right. So we have an update from a weird rules
- 1:35:04lawyer Domino. Wow to say that your name tag weird rules. Yeah,
- 1:35:11weird weird rules lawyer Domino. Okay, all right, So back to body
- 1:35:15Stanchers. So he is cites. I don't know why he's citing reassembling automaton,
- 1:35:21because that's if they heal he was seeing, okay, he was just
- 1:35:27seeing how it was written. And then the rule states rule as written,
- 1:35:33once a card has been tagged for destruction, the only thing that can remove
- 1:35:39this tag is a replacement effect that uses the word instead and replaces the destruction
- 1:35:45of the card. An effect that heels tagged creature does not remove the destroyed
- 1:35:51tag. An effect may move a tagged creature from a different out of play
- 1:35:57area, such as hand or archives, but the card is still considered to
- 1:36:01have been destroyed for the purposes of the card effect. So this is not
- 1:36:06moving it to another out of play area. So that card it does exactly
- 1:36:13what she said. It stays destroyed. Tag. I don't see how it
- 1:36:17doesn't. It does not have the word instead on it. It does not
- 1:36:21have instead. It's not sending it to a different out of play zone,
- 1:36:26right, it says the only thing that can remove this tag it's a replacement
- 1:36:30text that uses the word instead instead, which it does not. Right.
- 1:36:33So now now Domino actually said something different. Now he's typing yeah, but
- 1:36:40it says an effect may move it to a different out of play zone.
- 1:36:45Does it say instead, but that card is considered to have been destroyed?
- 1:36:49Oh, do say instead give it control to your opponent? Instead? I
- 1:36:55would say it's dead. That is that where they instead comes, We're just
- 1:37:02the car you okay, yeah, that's yeah. It is really bad verbiage,
- 1:37:13okay, because it doesn't say like instead comma right, like the other
- 1:37:20cards have been formatted where when it's an instead effect like instead is the first
- 1:37:25word. So, okay, I see how we have walked ourselves into our
- 1:37:29own trap here. Mm hmm. But jam proves a good point. It
- 1:37:35doesn't explicitly say instead of destroying. Well, sure, but I get what
- 1:37:41they're kind of saying. It is. Yeah, it does because everything that
- 1:37:45are most other effects that say instead, like instead is the bam. It
- 1:37:50is the front word. And here it says like I'm just a lingering word
- 1:37:54at the end of the sentence. Yeah. Well, I mean, but
- 1:37:56that is the the purpose of the comma, right, The purpose of the
- 1:37:59comma when you say instead comma or however comma is because without that you should
- 1:38:04actually place that word in a different spot in the sentence. So this is
- 1:38:12I'm not bro, this is I'm not a grammar major. This is hard
- 1:38:15games. Nobody gives a show. I'm not a grammar. English is the
- 1:38:18second language. But but yeah, I think I think we're right. We
- 1:38:24just never see things written this way. But it does have the word instead.
- 1:38:26Yeah, so I think Domino's right and we're wrong. Yep. I'm
- 1:38:29just gonna start scribbling instead on all my cards. This one says instead what
- 1:38:38it says reap instead. Richard Garfield wrote this on this himself. All right,
- 1:38:47back to the implanter, I'm giving him. I mean, like Jm's
- 1:38:53right. It doesn't say replace the destroyed effect. Mm hmm. What gives
- 1:38:59it to destroyed it? It doesn't. It doesn't say instead of destroying it.
- 1:39:03It should that that is what it should say. We all understand the
- 1:39:08intention of the car like it's supposed to instead of inject ship we just talked
- 1:39:15about. We just talked about one power and then dealing and giving it negative
- 1:39:21power. And because of some wonky ass bullshit like it's well that's not that's
- 1:39:27doesn't work down I I agree with you here, you're you're going shock jack.
- 1:39:33You're just fighting words for fighting words here. I don't know about all
- 1:39:39that, but I am sticking with my statement. Thank you for And the
- 1:39:44rules are they're they're not straat in many places. In my opinion, this
- 1:39:49is another one where like it still reads funny because it does not say the
- 1:39:56creature was destroyed because they destroyed effect is going off destruction and then there's an
- 1:40:05instead placement which lets you remove the mark. That's weird because actually, like
- 1:40:17on Automaton, I guess does say destroyed and then if you have any other
- 1:40:23creature in play instead of destroying, like it's saying very specifically, you are
- 1:40:29no longer destroying, which means the destroyed effect can't go off. I hate
- 1:40:33their rules, I really do. So maybe you don't heal it though,
- 1:40:38because you're not destroying it, so like you actually don't heal it. Okay,
- 1:40:45we have one card and where we we haven't have we done implanter,
- 1:40:51We got to scorn implanter three four. I'm just saying numbers actually just roll
- 1:40:59the dice and that's why take I mean like it's reap destroying enemy creature that's
- 1:41:04good on its own, but he's still kind of weak, not guaranteed to
- 1:41:09happen. That makes him three four, and Z says, okay, fair,
- 1:41:13fair enough. Yippie the abductor yip ya. The only Martian with teeth
- 1:41:19and he only has one of them. Enters those they're that's some very standard
- 1:41:31like Sunday Morning cartoons. Yes, most cartoons. The UFO guys got teeth.
- 1:41:38What most talk about him, as does the Avenger the picture there's lots
- 1:41:46of Martians with teeth, they like all have teeth. Nope, no other
- 1:41:50Marsians and void Prober has a lot of teeth. Yeah, teeth. Sorry,
- 1:41:57those are not teeth. Those are sweet caps that he just has in
- 1:42:00there too. Yeah, just so he can have a grill because he likes
- 1:42:04that kind of music. Glims. That guy's got teeth. Wait, hold
- 1:42:09on the doctor he's got Look at you, guys, Look at who the
- 1:42:13artist of this card is. It is a mad boogie creation. There was
- 1:42:20somebody else had pointed that out. They said something who like something about the
- 1:42:30art was purchased. It came with f FG and they didn't have the name
- 1:42:35assigned to it. But then if you look, if you look at it,
- 1:42:41so I think this has taken because I think this was a preview card.
- 1:42:45So at the time it was like I think, I think the card
- 1:42:47might say unknown because when they printed they weren't sure. And then somebody else
- 1:42:51figured it out and they've added it to arc an ar Kana. Oh yeah,
- 1:43:00so anyways, let's at he's a four power Martian plays Slash after Fight.
- 1:43:09Put an upgrade from Play into your archives. If you are not the
- 1:43:13owner of that card and it leaves your archives, put hers into its owner's
- 1:43:17hand instead. I hate the sentence, but I did not care less about
- 1:43:23this card. I played this card. I put a stupid pointless Star Alliance
- 1:43:30upgrade because there's plenty. I was really hoping it was going to be my
- 1:43:32antachrometer, but now it had to be one that at least did something.
- 1:43:39And then I destructive Analyst analysis and I did four damage to kill a haunting
- 1:43:45witch when I needed to. Power Play is still a one. I was
- 1:43:51generous, give it a two two like four replayed. Don't kill him so
- 1:44:00he might reap. You might reap for one, like he might reap harmless
- 1:44:06you. You're gonna get another card into your archives for your key abduction.
- 1:44:14He's a two, he says, he's a two. Yeah, I give
- 1:44:18two. All right. Well that's it for Mars. That was without the
- 1:44:30reprints. It goes Quick give her all them reprints. Uh, there are
- 1:44:35we got to talk about Quick Selick's Grave Master, the Specter. He's your
- 1:44:42three power Mars spector. Oh yes, he's a specter and he's got so
- 1:44:47he's a three power Mars. He's a specter. Yeah, Quick selects Grave
- 1:44:54Grave Master three power Specter play Purge of Creature from a disc card and pile.
- 1:45:00Deal two damage to each creature that shares one or more traits with the
- 1:45:03purged creature destroyed. If you're haunted Archive the Great Master, he's gonna be
- 1:45:12one of the not greater ones. Huh, it's okay. You know he
- 1:45:16feels like a three. I mean purging an important card creature card from your
- 1:45:23opponent, but it's not may so you may have to purge an unimportant creature
- 1:45:28card. Yeah, you could purge your own though, like that could be
- 1:45:32a Yeah. This feels very fine, as rare as these stupid Spector cards
- 1:45:41are just seems underwhelming. Yeah. I think it is Zeno's Dark Shadow two
- 1:45:49or three. I don't know. He's got a three. We're just gonna
- 1:45:54get it to it's it's yeah, three. It is not the worst there
- 1:46:00R two that Z likes last, Yes, Revenant. I'm sorry Jam for
- 1:46:03not using the correct terminology Nerd. I think the actual name of these are
- 1:46:14t c O Breakers. Yes, I'm pretty sure they still do not work
- 1:46:18on t c O. Yeah. Well, because because the Master Bault has
- 1:46:23them all goofball right, Yeah, because I think the card it has something
- 1:46:27to do with their card number, doesn't it uh something to do with it
- 1:46:30because they sort of have a house assigned but they're showing up in different houses
- 1:46:35because they're they're not it's supposed. I don't know. I don't know what
- 1:46:43the technical issue is. I know they ain't fixed it. I mean,
- 1:46:46if if suddenly we're here, he could tell us right away, but you
- 1:46:51know he's busy, he had to get in that next Well, well it's
- 1:46:56not he's upgrading. He just upgraded kron from two dot four got three to
- 1:47:00two dot four dot four. So that was an important Uh. I don't
- 1:47:04know what any of that meant. Yeah, I mean there's some bug fixes
- 1:47:10in there. Fixed range parsing went upper limit equals zero, right, so
- 1:47:14that that's fixed. That's good. Added fractional offset support, that's important.
- 1:47:19So, uh, you know, good did you find? Oh? These?
- 1:47:27I I'm subscribed to the pull requests for for draw better nut cards.
- 1:47:32I don't even nerds. I don't I see all the code. The software
- 1:47:36updates the nerdue anyway, that was definitely while we were recording. So,
- 1:47:46uh, Mars has the possibility, much like most other Mars uh houses in
- 1:47:54all of history, to be the most absolute busted thing you've ever seen,
- 1:48:00or complete trash somewhere, and it's it's one or the other. It's no
- 1:48:03one between they about sum that upright. I don't think. I don't think
- 1:48:13I've opened anything that's complete trash. Yeah, I mean, what's what's your
- 1:48:17lowest SaaS gr Let me, I'm gonna chump, I will say, come
- 1:48:21to my window. I don't I didn't scan when I got this weekend.
- 1:48:26I quite scanning dacks a while ago. And I just put him in wookies
- 1:48:29bag. Yeah, just shoves them in my ship. My lowest sass dance
- 1:48:33for me, Wookie, and I'll put them things in his way. Man,
- 1:48:36And I'm like, just stop. So I have fifty five gr decks
- 1:48:41at this point scanned, and how many what's the lowest sasas? What do
- 1:48:45you guys think? Fifty five? Fifty five Dacso your lowest aass is fifty
- 1:48:50four? Nope, Ookie, what's your guess? I'm sorry? What was
- 1:48:56the question? So? I have fifty five remind your decks? Yeah?
- 1:49:00What is the lowest Grim Reminders sas deck that I have in my collection right
- 1:49:06now? And what was the lowest did you say? Well, that's the
- 1:49:11question. I have fifty five decks, man, I can't see a lot
- 1:49:16of grim Reminders going under man, I'm gonna say sixty seven. All right,
- 1:49:24well it's you're much much closer than sheep. It's sixty five. Yeah,
- 1:49:28sixty five is the least. Sixty five was my original thought. But
- 1:49:31I'm like, nah, that's too that's too even, so I bumped them
- 1:49:34up them. I have. I have fourteen grim Reminders decks scanned in right
- 1:49:42now. My loss is also sixty five. There you go, all right,
- 1:49:45I have three sixty five's. I have twelve scanned in right now.
- 1:49:50I have some that I haven't scanned in. I don't know what they ended
- 1:49:54up being. Where's this world where dascours has more decks than me? You
- 1:49:59stop scanning? Yeah, you just crack play and then shove them in my
- 1:50:03bag of the fifty five, sixteen or eighty or above. Yeah, that
- 1:50:12doesn't sound wrong. What are they actually eighty good? I mean, my
- 1:50:18eighty eight is not eighty eight. It's not that good. So slow slowock
- 1:50:27slow is an echo charge away from being really good. So slowoc slow is
- 1:50:30a ninety one. If I had ecdocharge, I would legit really like it.
- 1:50:36I have I have two ninety twos. I don't know if they're both
- 1:50:44legitimately ninety two's but at the rate I could play Ecto charge, it doesn't
- 1:50:49matter. My best dack doesn't tap Eco charge in his seventy seven, and
- 1:50:57it also has three point four Amber control. Yeah. Ember control seems a
- 1:51:01little, I don't want to say sparse, but not as high as it
- 1:51:04used to be. So it is not it's not scaling right out of my
- 1:51:10twelve guess how guess my lowest sass nine close seventy Wow. Yeah, but
- 1:51:20the lower the sass, the more Ember control I get. Interesting. I
- 1:51:29don't have that. That so my seventy has eleven. My other seventy has
- 1:51:33ten. I have a seventy three with eight point four, seventy seven with
- 1:51:38six point seven, seventy seven with nine point six, but it also has
- 1:51:43omnipus. Actually, this is Sheep's deck now because it has tens. I
