Please welcome your hosts and commentators for today's event. Principal magic designer at Wizards of the Coast, Gavin Verh.

Hello everybody and welcome to Magicon Amsterdam and Game Night Live.

This show promises to be a crossover event for the ages, a true Marvel matchup as we have four players, each representing an iconic faction of the comic book franchise. Yeah. And speaking of factions, you all have been divided into factions. So, let's go ahead and meet those factions now.

Okay. Let's start here. From here to here, we have the sinister crew of Team Doom. Loyal robots. Rise up and cheer. Yeah. And from here over there, we have team Fantastic 4. Are you ready to show these guys the true meaning of flowering time?

All right. From right here to right here, we've got Earth's mightiest heroes, Avengers Assemble. They might be the lowest in the alphabet, but they're pretty high on power cuz from right here to right here, we have the X-Men. You love to hear it.

They seem really, really hyped up, which I love. And we need your help to decide who goes first in today's commander game. Do you think you can do that?

All right. So, if you want to play in a magic trivia contest, raise your hand and keep that hand raised. Keep in mind that these are going to be magic questions and in English. So, you should know a bit about magic and English hopefully to be able to come up here on stage. We're sending folks out into the audience to come and grab you and bring you up. Now, if uh you aren't chosen to come up right now, don't worry. There'll be chances throughout the whole show to come up and be a part of the action up here on stage. Additionally, you all have some of the best views of the show out there. So, if you're out there, this is not like a theater show where you have to turn off your cell phones, take pictures, take videos, post them online, tag us with tag us, put in #ameitslive, #MC Amsterdam. We want to see your awesome videos so we can share them out into the world. So, definitely take a lot of cool pictures and photos and videos and send them to us. All right. Well, looks like we have our four players up here on the stage. Filipa, let's go ahead and meet our trivia contestants.

Let's start here with team Doom. Hello. Okay, looks like we are getting these boards ready.

Hello. What's your name?

My name is Julia and I'm from Germany.

Oh, you already know THIS PART. GREAT. LET'S hear for Julia from Germany representing Team Doom. Everyone, next for Team Fantastic 4, what's your name?

My name is Benjamin.

Where are you from, Benjamin?

Two from Germany. Oh, let's hear from Benjamin representing Team Fantastic 4, everyone. Hello. What's your name?

I'm Noah and I'm FROM ENGLAND.

OKAY, LET'S HEAR FROM NOAH from England representing Team Avengers. And finally, but not least, representing Team X-Men. What's your name?

I'm Ryland and I'm from the United STATES OF AMERICA.

OH, let's really hear from Ryan. Very good, everyone.

All right, everybody. We're going to play a little magic trivia competition. Here's how it's going to work. I'm going to ask you a question and you're going to write the answer down on that whiteboard.

Yeah. And please keep them revealed until you tell you to do so. I'm going to do a countdown. One, two, three, reveal. You keep them revealed until we tell you to erase it.

Yeah. And players, it's pretty straightforward. The way it's going to work is if you get the question correct, you get one point for your team. The first team to three points will win the trivia competition and go first in today's commander game.

Yeah. But Gavin, if multiple teams get to three points at the same time, then we go into sudden dead rounds with those players until we can award one single winner.

All right, are all of you ready?

Yeah.

Are all of you ready?

All right, let's kick it off with question number one. So, the Avengers are all about teamwork, which is a key word that in the new set, of course. But which of these older teamwork themed mechanics has appeared on the most Magic the Gathering cards? Is it A. Alliance, B backup, C support, or D, banding. Whichever one has appeared on the most cards, write that down. If no one gets it correct, whoever is closest will take the points. Players are writing down their answers, locking them in.

All right, get ready. One, two, three, reveal. Please keep them revealed. Is this a D or a B? B A support C. And the answer is banding D, which means that please don't don't keep the ball reveal until the end. Okay, so

because B back B backup is the closest. Anyone wrote down B will get the point for this one. So

Oh, great. So one point for team X-Men and one point for team Fantastic 4. Let's hear out for them.

All right, turns out a lot more abandoning cards than you all think.

Okay, question number two. Let's talk about Fantastic 4. So, the Fantastic 4 precon is four colors: white, blue, red, and green. But before Marvel Superheroes released, how many commanders had that same identity of white, blue, black, white, blue, red, and green? Uh, we want a number answer here. So, write the number down on your whiteboard. Whoever is closest will get the point. So, think it through. Think through the commanders in your head. How many before Marvel superheroes were white, blue, red, and green? Lots of chatter out there in the crowd.

I mean, feel free to help your players, but everyone else will hear you as well. Okay, players getting ready. Write those answers. 1 2 3 reveal. Keep them revealed. We have 6 2 30 15 and the answer is four. Which means that actually two players are the closest, right, Gavin?

Correct. Yeah. Both X-Men and Avengers are only only two away different directions. One point for team Avengers. And X-Men now with two points in the lead. Very well. Fantastic 4 with one point. Team Doom with zero.

All right. X-Men could clinch it with another point right here. We're going to find out. Go on to question number three. The card Dr. Doom creates villainous robot tokens called Doombots. But which of the following magic cards also has the creature type robot? Is it A. Tawashi Guidebot, B. Dauntless scrapbot, c runaway trashbot, or d solemn similacrim. Get in A, B, C, or D here. You have to get it correct to get the point in this instance. Simply being close, well, there is no second place. You know, it's hard to know what else is the closest.

All right, write those answers down. Get ready. One, two, three. Reveal everyone. We have D, C, C, C. And the answer is B. Downus scrap mod.

You guys need to look at your limited comments a little more often. I think. All right. So, no one gets the point there. Still, let's clinch it right here. We'll see what happens. Let's talk about some rather exceptional cards. Which of these cards was first printed the earliest? Is it A Exp, B Explore, C Expedition Map, or D Expansion Explosion? We're looking for the card that was first printed in Magic the Gathering the earliest. Okay.

All right. Write those answers. Get them ready.

And if no one gets it right, whoever is closest will get the point here.

All right. One, two, three, reveal. We have B P C P and the answer is C. Expedition now, which means that team Fantastic 4 gets a point and now has two points as well.

Okay, Fant either Fantastic 4 or X-Men could clinch it right here, but it's still of course anyone's game. And this one is a toughy. The Marvel secret layer first introduced the hero creature type to Black Order Magic. As of right now, how many creatures are there with the type hero? Excluding changelings, of course. We need the literal printed hero type on the card. Um, you have to write down an number answer and whoever is closest will get the point. I don't think we're going to have a tie this time, although I could be wrong. You want to write down a number that gets you as close to the number of heroes in Magic as possible.

All right, write those answers. That's not an easy one. Give your best guess.

Lots of murmuring there in the crowd. People trying to do some quick math and calculations.

All right, looks like the players are ready. 1 2 3 reveal. 216 251 13317 and the answer is 279. Team Avengers is the closest and takes the point. All right. This can be anyone's game at this point.

Yeah, it looks like Fantastic 4, X-Men or Avengers could all clinch right here. Pretty epic question. Here we go. Let's talk about capes, everybody, because not all commanders wear capes, but a lot of them do. Which of the following commanders is not wearing a cape in any of their art? Is it A Adeline Respendant Cathar, B, Jorah Weatherlight Captain, C Yogmoth Thran, Physician, or D. Kenan Bonder Prodigy? Which one does not have a cape in any of their art printings? What is it going to be?

All right, write those answers down, everyone. Big question. This could clinch it for a team. Let's see what happens.

That's true. Okay, looks like they are ready. 1 2 3 reveal. A B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B P B and the answer is B Joyra. Okay, that means that team Fantastic 4 and Team Adventures both have three points now.

All right, so that means we're going to go into a sudden death round. So, please all four of you stay up on stage, but only Fantastic 4 and Avengers need to answer this next question. And this will certainly decide it. This will certainly decide it right here because here is the question everybody and it is a tricky one. It is a doozy. Lots of heroes out there rely on powerful equipment. As of right now in Magic, how many different equipment cards are legal in Commander? You need to write down a number and whoever is closest will get it correct. Keeping in mind that equipment premiered before at least one of our players was born, maybe both of them. Wow, that's a tough one.

Wow. Whoever is closest will get the point.

That'll be it. That'll be the winners. Either Fantastic 4 or Avengers going first. They're writing down answers and erasing them. Here we go.

One, two, three. Reveal 373 and 50. The answer is 67. That means Team Avengers wins the trivia competition zone.

All right.

Oh, wow.

Great job, team Avengers. Good job. Good job. Let's get a hand for Team Avengers taking it down. All right, players, turn around and turn in your whiteboards. You all get a booster box of Magic the Gathering. And trading your whiteboard for a booster box is the best trade you're going to make anywhere this weekend. It's a pretty good deal. And let's hear it one more time for all of our contestants up here on stage, everybody.

Great job. Great job, everybody.

Well done.

That was a hard fought trivia for a battle. I got to say, Felipe,

that was so difficult. And they all did amazing answers.

Yeah. Everyone

love the energy.

All right. All right. And this means that this team is going to go first in our uh game today. That's a big advantage.

It's a huge advantage. Although sometimes that burst of super speed does put a super big target on your back, too. But no matter what happens, it's going to be a great game.

That's right. Team Avengers taking the first here in the game. But looks like the stage is ready. Players are getting up backstage. Are you all ready for some epic commander action, everyone? Come on. And if you love epic commander action, get excited because we're going to be calling people from the audience up on stage during the course of the show. And if you're brought up, you'll walk away with a collector booster pack. So definitely keep those hands raised if you get the chance. All right. Well, I think we're all ready. Let's kick off Game Night's Live Marvel Mashup.

Attention all Magic fans. Please keep the aisles clear and remain safely in your seats as your players make their way into the arena. Ah, [groaning] heat.

Yes. For years, Rachel lived as an ordinary human until one fateful day, she started playing commander, revealing her latent mutant powers. Anyone who listened to her instantly got better at magic. They ran more lands, played more interaction, and so she came to be revered as a goddess. Now she's emerged as the leader of a group of gifted MDG enthusiasts trying to make the world a safer place. Representing Team X-Men, it's Rachel Weekes. Our first player charging into the arena plans to use her magic mutations to achieve domination. So danger master is ready to play and prove that her promises in her DNA.

She'll charge like to inflict some big losses. flashing light. Her ruthless remain control the weather but she can't control the war. So once our uncanny cast her spells all have resolved she'll show the true power of a species evolve. Now, like a phoenix, your champion will rise, casting targeted spells to take over the skies. She'll pump powerful beasts to make them terrifying. And whenever she does, she'll also get flying.

As she puts plus one counters on each creature she's got, she'll turn into huge. No, we won't just be a stand up for your tears even superior stor. Let your cries be for your ace from the blue team. She is the exceptional the exalted expert.

Tomer was a man with a mission to put together the first commander pod in space. But he built his spacecraft on a $25 budget so it had no shield counters to protect it from a blast of cosmic radiation. The damaged ship engaged its chaos warp drive, dodging comet storms and stars of extinction on its homeward path to Earth. There he found himself transformed into Magic's most brilliant brewer representing Team Fantastic 4. It's Tor Abramovich. Our next player forging his path to his age says he's feeling supply cuz it's time with a full grip of spells and is ready to slay. Our foremost forward will be doing the thing.

as our goldfishing guardian will be getting his game on. Turning off his phone while he's turning his play on. His bird is bombastic. His creatures elastic. And when you put them together, his plan is fantastic. So as he builds up a board that's fortified and formidable, his odds of losing will fade until they're fully invisible. Today our forceful fire won't torch his opponents with the power of four his favorite exponent. When that numbers in his mana values of missile power his commander kills chaos that'll make his foes power with the cosmic standing firm by his side. He can go tall with counter forming walls through wide.

go with a powerful tech in his years of hard practice. He'll have a showing so strong it could make us. So make some noise and family as your budget reorges for playing the fantastic war sounding for the smartest player in the room. He is the energizing champion of the Fantastic 4.

Through years of study and science, Josh had developed the perfect, most optimal doomsday pile of all time. But when the day came to execute it, disaster struck. His arrogance got the best of him, and in his haste, he swapped the order of his top two cards. Humiliated, he swore to never show his face until he restored his reputation as Magic's one true king. Now he fights for villains at commander tables everywhere. Representing team Doom, it's Josh Lee Quest player marching his way through the room has issued an edict. You must kneel before doom.

This monarch will make foes into vassels from a top his castle with relentless control going distance mixing science with sorcery but mostly with instances. Kill some fellow wild as he swings out with the forces of evil.

The victor today combatant has an insome epic proportions as he sends his fing on the wheel of his fortune. Oh, as he reaps all the value of endless selection, he the prize for his vowing section. Now sound off, deadly doom box. Today

we are not ready Oh,

Jimmy had it all. Infinite treasure, overflowing insight, and the most ruthless deck building firm in the business. But at a CEDH tournament overseas, he was kidnapped by corporate rivals, forced to design them an unbeatable brew. Stuck in a cave with only a box of chaff, he constructed a deck so powerful it knocked them out in real life. Now he uses aggro as a deterrent, bringing peace to pods worldwide. Representing team Avengers, it's Jimmy Wong. Our last player today will set life to zero with Earth's mightiest heroes. Yes, your courageous team captain has gone through his vault to brew a smash just as hard as with his favorite mana. He'll end this in a hurry using meters and burn to unleash his fury.

He'll use his mind like vision to accomplish his mission. Deploy like a master tactician. And once he built up a board state that makes his fle, he'll rally the troops with Avengers assemble. J. O. Aggro agent will make his wing quick and clean with an artifact tech that's a true war machine. Thanks to the metallic mythic in his command zone, he'll dig through his workshop for the tech that he needs to build and even equip it for free. Or he can build up a mountain of treasure, playing spells at his leisure to his opponent's displeasure.

And even in Europe, he won't need an adapter cuz his value is powered by a sweetheart reactor. So get loud true believers as your chief engineer fills his opponents with fear playing starch aka man for the master of invention hero of this convention. He is the suit of spells, not your hero. Then captain Avengers assemble your might for

You can copy it straight from Architect or however you build your decks and you can paste it into their deck builder.

Now, they had Eclipse line before, but they've updated them with the brand new Apex technology, which means they have the really smooth shuffle feel that Apex is famous for. Yeah. And they also have that super durability. Ultra Pro went to a lot of trouble to develop this machine that tests like the adhesive strength of the sleeve. And let me tell you, I've tried to pull them apart and it is way more difficult than you would think. They really got it down. So these sleeves will last. They will stand the test of time. They really are great. So you can buy them knowing that you're going to have them for a long time. And you can buy all the blue ones because those are the best ones. So again, ultra.com.

All right, we won't keep you from the game. We'll see you in a bit.

All right, let's hear it for all four of our players today. But who will win it all? Will it be Rachel and Team X-Men? [screaming]

What about Jimmy Wong and the Avengers? [screaming]

Or will it be summer and team Fantastic 4?

How about Josh Le and Doom? Now there is I like that. I want to hear more of that this show. That's good. Now there is a lot on the line in terms of pride for these three heroes and one villain. But of course it would not be anything without something truly tangible to play for. Let's bring out the Game Night Live championship trophy. Here it is. Take a look at this beauty. Incredible. No one can take it. And our person are playing new commanders from the Marvel superhero set. I mean, there are so many fan favorites from the comic book universe.

But we have four real powerhouses here today, Gavin.

Yeah. And with all the shenanigans going on at the table, heroes and villains battling side by side, we thought it would probably good to have someone who can keep things a little bit clean. So we at the head of our table, we have our rules afficionado. You know him, you love him. It's Murf, everybody.

Thank you, Gavin. Hello everybody. So today, as per the usual, we are looking for a good, clean game. So I'll do my best to police triggers and see what everybody's doing. But after all, nobody's perfect. Am I right?

So, oh, come on. That was funny. So, I need all of you out there to Thank you. I need all of you out there to help try to keep track of people's triggers. And if you see anything that we missed, go ahead and shout it out.

Yes. Please help me with my triggers. Team Doom.

Is that a boo or a doom?

They're saying I was saying actually.

All right. Well, we have met our players. Now, let's go ahead and meet our decks. Rachel, what storm have you brewed up for us today? Oh, a very specific Storm Gavin. Today I am playing Storm Wind Rider.

Thank you very much. So, my deck is designed to give my creatures basically unblockable by targeting them with spells, specifically plus one plus one counter spells. So, with all that extra power and complete dominion over the skies, I'm going to take this game for the devoted, gifted members of Team X-Men.

All right. Now, Tomer, tell us your formula for success today.

Is it 2 plus two? It is actually because my commander is a whole team wrapped into one card. It is a fantastic four. And this deck is loaded with spells that have mana value four, toughness four, and especially power four. Beyond the card draw and damage I'll get from my commander, I've got plenty of payoffs for high power creatures, plus cost reducers to help me cast them. So once I've gathered my formidable forces, I'll forge ahead and get victory for team Fantastic 4. Yes. Love you all.

All right, Josh. Now, you're used to playing the villain, but today you really are the villain. What have you brought to the table for us?

Well, thanks for asking, Gavin. My plan is to rule the table with Dr. Doom, King of Latvaria. Doom. Now, this [clears throat] is a discard payoff deck, so I have a lot of rumaging and looting like connive to get those commander triggers and also give me a ton of card selection. And then with that drain ability, I'm going to bleed the table dry. All while I search for some powerful game enders. And then with a little bit of control to back it all up, I will show these sniveling superheroes THE TRUE POWER OF TEAM DOOM. [screaming] They're scared. I can I can smell it.

Spooky. Now, Jimmy, what have you built for us today?

Well, my commander is none other than Tony Stark, aka the invincible Iron Man. This is a classic artifact deck with an extra focus on big haymakers. Now, the Tony Stark side can help me find them with his tap ability, and then the Iron Man side won't let me cheat and play for free. So, the plan is to build an artifact value engine, make an army of constructs and robots, then show what this box of scraps can do as we TAKE THE WIN FOR TEAM AVENGERS. [screaming]

All right. Well, we've heard from the players, we heard about the decks. I think it's time to get this show on the road. Murf, take it away.

All right. So, team Avengers won the pregame trivia show. So, G.

Oh, you know we did.

That means you'll be going first. However, we do have one problem. Get richer starts.

I go fourth.

It's Homer.

That's good, right?

Fourth. Yeah.

Fantastic.

Fourth. Fourth. Fourth.

Uh, don't chant that too.

I think he is fourth.

Til, as long as exciting as it is for you to go fourth, we have a bit of a problem. Oh,

you have not been kned on game nights. You have never been on game night.

Oh my gosh. I've not been on game.

Oh, it is my pleasure to dub thee a game night. Take a knee.

I dub thee officially Sir Tor, Lord of the Budget. ARISE.

Thank you so much. It's an honor to be done. Welcome. Welcome to the club. FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR. YEAH.

Now we have no more rules and fractions, but okay, I think we do say something.

We do. In fact, we have a catchphrase on here on the show. Say it with us.

Love you all to say it with. So, Magicon Amsterdam, WELCOME TO GAME NIGHT'S LIVE. ONLY ONE MAY STAND.

All right. All right. Players, pick up your hands. Jimmy, you may begin.

All right. Let's get this show on the road. I'll draw a card for turn and I'll do my favorite thing in Magic the Gathering and that is play a land.

So, let's drop this right into play.

Don't trigger too much. It's the only one that's going to happen this game. That scorched skiser comes.

You kept a one lander.

Yeah, I did. Yeah,

sounds like you got to believe in the heart of cards.

Yeah, it's something. Yeah, you're right. You're all right. Yeah, go for it, Rachel. All right, I will draw for turn. I thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I will too kick things off this time with an UNTAPPED LAND OF PHENOMENON.

But I don't have any plans. Go ahead, Josh.

Okay, I will draw for turn. I am going to start off with a rockus theater. Hey,

I think that's where we are right now. Can you get a little rockus for me? I will also surveil.

I think your section will love surveillance.

Uh, I'm going to put this astonishing Spider-Man into the graveyard. Go ahead, Tor.

Astonishing. Okay. [snorts]

All right. I will play Catcher Triumph Tap, which taps for three of the four colors I have.

Yes. And I'll pass it to you, Jimmy.

All right. I would draw Oh, thank goodness.

Never didn't have it. Never didn't have it. Uh, let's go ahead and play a river py verge. Got all my colors twice.

Twice over. And then I will tap two and bring out the one and only Tony Stark.

He's here. Didn't take long.

Didn't take long.

Man,

that's why you can keep a one lander. You got a two drop commander.

Exactly. All right, your turn, Rachel.

All right, I will draw. And I am going to play a basic forest as my land for turn. But that's not enough forest for me. I'm going to cast a nature's lore.

Nice. Thank you so much.

Little rampy ramp. Nice.

I'm going to go find a lush portico and surveil. But Josh, you can go in the meantime.

Okay. Very efficient. I appreciate that.

All right. I'll draw. I am going to play a Sulfur Falls as my land for turn. And then

Yeah. Sulfur.

Are you falls?

Are you from Sulfur Falls?

Yeah.

It's amazing.

They're very sulfurous.

Sounds a little stinky. All right. And then I'm gonna have the classic commander start of two mana rock. Talisman of duminance.

All right.

Doom. Doom. Doom. Doom. I like my section.

Nobody else does, but I do.

I am Arcades strategist, Elder Dragon, and now CEO. In my years of commanding, I noticed an underserved clientele. Creatures with abnormally large bats. This led me to found my bespoke pants company, Superior Posterior, with sizes for even the toughest of customers.

Shopify is the business behind my behind base business. They make checkout easy, so customers are free to check out their well-dressed derriè. And with Shopify handling the backend, I'm free to grow my business to help beautify backends across the globe. And Shopify's award-winning support is available 24/7, though I would prefer 724.

So Jordan, what did you get up to in Amsterdam?

Oh man, a ton. I sold the canals. I went to the Reichkes Museum. I had a Stroop waffle. I had a Stroop waffle. I had a Stroop waffle. I had a stroop waffle.

Are you okay? I think you're caught in a loop.

Oh, no. Those were all different stroop waffles.

Okay.

But I mean, it was vacation. And luckily, I knew I would get back to real healthy eating the moment I got home thanks to Factor. Yeah. Factor's been a big part of both of us getting into a healthier lifestyle. Exactly. They make eating well easy by delivering chef crafted meals straight to your door that are ready to eat in just 2 minutes. No prep, no cleanup. And the best part is they're delicious. Yeah. Factors actually banned a bunch of unhealthy ingredients from their menu. So, whatever you pick from the 100 plus weekly meal options, you know they're going to be good for you.

Hail puny three drops. The summer sun heralds the return of Sun Titan. Now, I'll admit I'm not as commander viable as I used to be, but that means I have more time on my giant hands. So, I'm going to spend it blasting some highly playable tunes on my Raycon Everyday Earbuds Classic. My Raycons have become an instant staple in my day-to-day life. Their active noise cancellation makes them the best sound blocker on the battlefield or the beach, and multi-point connectivity lets them pair with two devices at once. A classic two for one, JUST LIKE SUN TITAN. PLUS, with their 32-hour battery life, I never have to reanimate them cuz they never die in the first place. They've got cool colors, like my favorite, rose gold, and they're just half the price of the big brands. That's why Raycons deserve a slot in 100% of summer routines, as opposed to the 8% of decks that I get a slot. And you know what? That's actually still pretty good. Sun Titan.

The Everyday Earbuds Classics are a great option for everyday listening. Click the link in the description box or go to byracon.com/command to get 20% off. Thanks to Raycon for sponsoring. You know what my favorite thing is about Architect? The color tags. Each card has a tab that you can use to mark collection status or whatever else you want. So, when I'm building or updating a deck, I'll mark what I have, what I've ordered, and what I don't have yet. It really helps me stay organized. Plus, you can add more tags in new colors to mark anything from potential cuts to new additions. And better organization makes for better decks. So, go ahead, try it out. Architect is the best place to browse, brew, and play test commander decks. Just go to architect.com/commandzone to get started.

That's arc hidkt.com/commandzone.

All right, Tober, go ahead.

All right, let's see here. Okay, well, I have a cool one. I'm going to play Exotic Orchard. I'm going to tap two mana and I'm going to cast one of my favorite design cards of all time, Crashing Draw.

Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Scary like that. It has a toughness of four, which is going to be relevant in two more turnsish maybe. And it gives all my creatures haste, which is quite nice.

That's going to be relevant sooner than two more turns.

Yeah, hopefully.

Pass, Jimmy.

All right, I'll draw. Thank goodness. Um, I'll play a command tower as my

Never punish. Never punish.

The funny thing is is I really don't know if you're joking or not.

Come on.

I'm full of jokes. All right, I'm going to play a three mana card. It's Midnight Clock.

Yeah.

Mhm. Mhm. And then I will uh pass turn to you, Rachel.

All right, I will untap.

Thank you. Trigger. Trigger. Uh let's go ahead and put

You guys are on it.

What? I wasn't going to forget.

All right.

I wish I had all this audience when I was playing commander all the time. That would be amazing.

You never miss a trigger.

Yeah. Tik Tok.

Tik Tok.

That's a pretty sweet draw. I'm actually going to cast that one. I have three mana for a kami of one.

Oh, that's pretty good.

Thank you, X-Men. Thank you. And then I'm going to play a tapped Balaged Sanctuary.

I like that on the board instead of in your hand.

Pretty good though.

It's all right.

All right, I'll untap. Not yet. He has to untap.

Upkeep.

Okay, hold on. Hold on. It's a midnight clock. We have to have a better word.

Yeah, you got to decide.

What should we yell?

What should we yell instead of trigger when it goes up?

Tick tock. Okay, that's better than dong. So, I'm I'm down with that.

All right, let's pra dong.

Well, you know, it's like okay.

Yeah, we're we're we're in Europe. Every the church bells, right?

Right. Right. Okay. Let's practice. I go to my upkeep.

My favorite social media platform. We go to two.

That's how you spell it. Right.

All right. Then I go to my drawstep.

That was a trick question. You don't do anything. Okay.

They chair. Drawing is awesome.

All right. I'm going to play uh the best card in Magic,

an island.

Ah. All right. All right.

Right. Ouch. And then I'm going to tap four. Why wait? I'm going to bring out my commander, Dr. Doom, King of Latvaria.

All right. And then I'll go to combat. Oh, look. I have a villain. I will connive,

which means I'll draw and then I'll discard this swamp.

Ah,

which is a land that I'm discarding. So, uh, that will trigger Dr. Doom and you'll all take two. Okay.

All right. I'll take two. I'll go to a 38.

38. I'll go to 38.

Oh my.

First blood.

Okay. And then uh that is all I can do. So Tor, go ahead.

All right.

Tick tock.

Let's You know what? We got That clock is messed up. How about this? They'll say untap and then we'll Tik Tok together.

All right. Oops. Let's try it again.

We'll try again. Here we go.

Untap.

Oh, that's sweet. Now it feels like we're on a game show.

Goes to three.

All right, I'll draw and we'll play a sea of clouds and then we're going to cast Jolene plundering fugulus.

Oh. Oh, it's so good with haste.

Mhm. And she has a power of four again. Going to be relevant soon hopefully.

Yes. Four. Excellent.

I'm going to activate the crashing drawer to give Jolene Haze. Go to combat.

Yeah, you got it.

And I got to hit someone for some value. Uh there's a lot of artifact stuff and that's what I'm afraid of the most right now. So, uh Jimmy, I'll swore at you. I'll get an attack trigger.

I'm sorry, Jimmy. I'm sorry.

Are they saying doom?

Are they saying doom?

They're saying boo.

They're saying do earns. Four.

Four. Four. Four damage.

All right. Uh, I'm not going to block with Tony Stark. I'll take four and go to 34.

Excellent. And that's all I got for now.

On your end step, I'm going to tap the Midnight Clock and Tony Stark. I'll look at the top four cards in my library and I can reveal an artifact from

That's good. That's good value.

Oh, yeah. Let's see what I get here. Interesting.

As long as he doesn't whiff.

Yeah. Let's see here.

Jimmy would never whiff. He never does that.

No. You run an artifact land there.

I got I got I got I got some spicers. Let's see. It's not. The clock's not going to go up by the time it gets to me. So, I'm going to put a nexus of becoming into my

That's scary.

Yeah, I'm becoming scary.

Get it?

He can't He can't get six mana.

All right. Ready? Untap.

Take a few more mana.

Clock goes to four. Goes in my hand, of course.

OH, YES.

NOW, keep it at that. It's perfect.

I know. All right. Uh, I will play a land for turn. It's an island. I drew another one. Don't worry. And uh let's see here. With that mana, I'm going to tap two and play a dowsing device.

So when tears the battlefield or when I have or when their artifact enters, a creature gets plus one plus and hains haste.

Let's see here. I only have three mana left. Looks pretty scary out there. Tony Stark is going to get plus one plus O. He's going to gain haste.

Okay.

And he's going to go I'm chilling pass turn.

Ooh, chilling with mana.

No attackies.

Hold on. What did you do?

I will untap.

Thank you for announcing.

There we go. They were on it. I wasn't.

Bye, Tik Tok. Dong.

All right. I

Tik Tok.

Tik Tok. Dong. Okay.

Josh has the loud lands. I have the quiet ones. I'm going to play a hushwood ver subtle. Nice like tea. Uh, and then uh I am going to, you know, we've got a king at the table and uh I think this deck likes to attack. So, it's time for me to introduce

the monarch with a court of gar.

Oh, that's pretty good.

Pretty good.

Get the monarch in play. Get some counters going. Of course, that makes me the monarch.

Do we have a good funny hat? Brown. Yeah,

we got a funny hat. Oh,

we do. Jamie coming in clutch.

WAIT.

WHOA.

ROUND OF APPLAUSE for Jamie. Oh no, he's gone.

Thank

you, everyone.

Thank you. It's going to be so sweaty when the next

all hail. That's a good deterrent, you know.

Queen Rachel,

thank you.

A king and queen at the table. I have a feeling my reign will be short, but that's okay. Uh, and then I'm going to follow things up by paying two mana for a Dusk Legion Duelist.

Nice.

A little bit of card draw. And I think I'm going to chill and I will pass to you, Josh.

Okay, I will.

Oh, yeah. For being the monarch, I will draw a card. That's the whole thing.

Hold on.

Hail. Okay, I will untap.

Dong.

You can also shout Wong. Alternative choice.

I will draw.

Yeah. Oh, okay. Wong. Wong. W.

Make sure you go wo so it doesn't sound like wrong. All right. Made that clear.

Okay.

Does something bad then you can shout wrong.

Uh, I'm going to play a Bloodstain Meyer as my land for turn. I'll crack it. Going to 39. And I will search for some kind of dual land here. Very exciting. It got so quiet while I did this.

It's tense.

Okay.

Um Oh, boy. [clears throat]

All right. I think I

That's good. It will be a blood crypt.

Oh,

so I'll go to 37.

Why is all your stuff covered in blood, John?

I'm sensing a theme.

No reason. No reason.

Very great in the summer. Covered in blood. very unharic cards of you.

Coincidence. [snorts] Okay. And then I am going to pay two. Let's do it like that so I don't take any damage and cast a ledger shredder.

And then I'm going

classic thing good guys do.

Shred ledgers.

Shred some ledgers.

And then I will pay three and I'm going to cast Reel the Ever.

Oh, come on.

That is a gross combo.

Oh jeez. Okay. Well, on cast legis will trigger cuz that is my second spell. But real is not on the battlefield yet, so I won't get to do that cool part. But I will connive.

You know, I am hopefully going to be conniving a lot. How about How about every time I connive, I just hear your most villainous laugh. Team Doom.

That's good.

Wow. You You all have been practicing.

The Doom players sat in the right place in the room.

Really meant to be there. Yeah. Um, okay. And then, uh, so I draw a card, which I just did, and then I will discard this, uh, Xander Lounge,

which is a land that I have discarded.

So, Dr. Doom will trigger.

Okay.

That means you'll all take two.

All right.

Little ouchies to 36.

32.

36.

Okay. And then I will go to combat.

Dr. Doom will trigger. I I will connive. Yeah.

Uh and I'm going to discard. Boy, this one's a tough choice.

So many options. That's all good for us.

I'm going to discard. Well, no, it's there's a better time to discard this card, but I'm going to still do it now. Oscorp Industries.

Oh, another land, though.

Yep, that is a land. So, you'll all take two.

Two more. 34.

34.

That will also give Dr. Doom. Oh, sorry. Real the otherwise will trigger when I discard that.

It should be first time you

Oh, I already did it. Okay.

Uh,

interesting behavior from Josh here.

Villainous underhanded.

Dr. Doom uh, now has menace though. I will go to combat.

Boy, this is interesting.

Oh,

consider how sweaty this

Yeah, this is the head is so light right now. I don't know.

Yeah, there's no crown.

Do I want the Do I want the monarch? Do I want to just hit one of the other players?

We are the one true king.

Yeah, I should.

Ah, I could have seen.

Okay, we are going to go to combat and Dr. Doom is coming in at you, Rachel.

Well, yeah, that those are booze. I know that for sure.

I think they're saying Doom.

I don't think I don't I don't think so.

I'm going to call column A and a little bit column B. I think

can't really block this one. I'm going to take three and go to 31. Josh, the crown is yours. Oh,

a true king.

We've got a new king.

You know, that was a pretty high value play here. Um, well, let Hold on a second. I'm going to go to my endstep.

Mhm.

I'll draw my card for the monarch and then since I got something for being king, I think you all should get something. You all want some value?

All right, let's bring out Night and the Squires for a loot drop here for everybody. How about that? How about that? Yeah.

How about that?

Let's do it.

Yes. I am a benevolent monarch.

All right. Here they come. Hands in the air. Get ready to catch.

All right. Get your hands up. Get ready to catch some stuff here.

Don't hurt your neighbors. Be fair about it.

All right. Knock. Pull loose. Knock. Pull loose. Fire and wheel. all the way everything.

Well, is that a collector booster I just saw to something up here.

Watch your eyes.

All right. Let's hear it for 90 and the Spires, everybody.

I love the clapping along. It's getting me pumped.

All right. All right. All right. You got to love free stuff, you know.

That's true. I mean, I'm jealous of the crowd right now, Gavin.

Good turn. Go ahead there, Tor. All right. Uh, I think we're going to untap.

Clock goes to seven.

That's time.

Oh, man.

Bong.

What happened to Dong?

Uh, it's up there. It's It's coming up.

And that ledger shredder from Josh Lequay is going to create so many discard triggers for Doom. That's a ton of value. Josh is going to generate a lot of damage. two play uh wooded foothills.

I'm going to crack it immediately. I'm going to go get

uh probably a a breeding pool.

Okay.

And it's going to enter untapped. So, I'm going to take quite a bit of damage here.

Four.

No, not not yet. But my fourth land. Yeah, three.

It's my fourth land drop. How about that?

Yeah,

it's turn four. This is

Yeah. And it's turn four. You know what time it is? 7 o'clock.

Turn four. 7 o' but more importantly as I shove. Oh my god, I saw small hands. All right, there we go. Uh, it's up four. Oh, yep. Thank you. So, I lost three.

You already I lost 30. I'm not here to count lower than four. You almost You just want to do four.

Yeah, I just want to do four there. Anyway, I'm paying four mana and I'm casting the Fantastic Four.

Nice. Nice.

Yes.

All right. All right.

Now,

it has an enter in cash trigger, and I'm going to keep it simple. I need to keep hitting land drops, so I'm just going to draw a card off it.

Uh, but oo, somebody has the crown.

I do.

And I do like drawing cards a lot. So, let's activate the crashing drawbridge once again.

Nice.

And, okay, we can do it the easy way or the hard way.

I have a one three and an 03. You're getting in there. Don't worry.

All right. All right. Uh, we'll spread the love a little bit. How about the Oh, no. I need to have a blocker, actually. Uh, I'm going to just send Jolene. Yeah. To defend the monarchy.

You want to take back your bridge?

Oh, yeah. That's actually a good idea.

I think we can allow that, right? We can allow that.

Uh, no, it's fine. I've committed. I've committed. No, you can take back the crash.

Okay. Okay. Fine. Thank you. Murf says all right. Thank you.

The bridge goes down and it goes up.

He's a generous referee.

Good job. All right, guys.

They're so ready to answer questions.

All right, you're attacking me, I assume.

We're four damage.

Four damage. All right.

Yeah.

And we had to expect it, right? All right. Uh-huh.

I go to 33.

Mhm.

All right. A new monarch has arisen.

He became a knight and a king the same day.

That's big. Big day. I'm really going up the ladder on a rocket ship.

All right,

I think that's going to be it for me. I'm going to go go to endstep and just draw a card for the monarchy.

Good. All right, on your endstep.

Uhoh.

I've got a bit of a conundrum here. I have this card called into the flood mod in my hand.

Oh,

and I want to use it. And there are a lot of good targets on the board. I think the best targets are probably going to be

either the Real or the Ledger Shredder. What do we think? Real or ledger? Shredder?

Shredder. Shredder seems a little better, but it's a really cheap recast, but it will take up some of Josh's mana. We have that dust legion duel. This seems okay. And then on Tor's side, I don't know. Jolene,

the bridge. The bridge. Okay. All right. Well, that's three targets. And I think we should leave it up to maybe a bit of chaos here.

Decide what should be bounced. So, how about we bring out one of my favorite parts of the show? It's the one and only Cube of Conquest.

Yeah.

The Cube of Concert World.

There she is. Isn't she beautiful?

Beautiful. Oh my goodness. Majestic.

So cute.

Yes, that's right. The Cube of Consequence is back here on Game Night's Live. When the players have a tricky decision or just want a bit of chaos, they can throw it out into the audience, let you bop it around a little bit, and then safely guide it into a row when we tell you to. But as always, be mindful of people around you and any camera equipment. Play safe.

All right. So, one and two will be Rachel's permanent. Three and four, actually, five and six will be Josh's permanent. And three and four will be Tor's.

Makes sense. Makes sense.

So, we're to toss it in. Make sure you're safe here and give it a few bounces. LET'S THROW IN THE CUBE INTO THE CROWD.

APPLAUSE.

Bounce it around.

Bounce it.

Bounce it. Bounce it. Yeah. Maybe go get a little further that camera. Thank you, staff,

neighbors.

All right, let's give it two more big bounces here. One, two, and then into the aisle. Into the aisle.

The aisle forward.

Okay. All right. We're getting some big strong muscles and some kind of

All right. All right. And let's see. It's coming down on a six.

That's a six, everybody.

I'm safe.

Oh,

are you saying bounce doom or I think the shredder is still the best table. What do we think? I think shredder's got to be the one.

I think so. It also opens up two spells for you.

Yeah. All right. Ledger Shredder into the uh your hand.

All right. Shredder back to my hand. I'll draw the card for the monarchy.

Yes. And also, I'm going to tap and use Tony Stark's ability here to look at the top four. Oh my gosh.

Uh

yeah, nice.

I mean, this is a card.

Wow. You know what? Josh sent way back there with that legend Shrider down. That combination is going to be powerful and deal a bunch of damage, but now he's got to wait a whole turn to recast, spend some mana on it. Maybe even Doom gets removed in the meantime. The Legion of Latin.

No, I'm not playing Shani this time around, but I do think it would be nice to reveal the 10 rings.

Oh my lord, that's good.

That might get cheated in later. Stark turn like right now like with the six mana assuming he plays a land drop which is an assumption.

Yeah. All right

untap mediumiz assumption.

Yeah. Look. Tick tock. Let's go to eight. I'll draw my card for the turn.

Jimmy.

Yeah.

What's [snorts] up Jimmy? Do you have a land to play?

I do.

Go. Good.

Oh,

he's done it again.

Not good.

How does he keep getting away with it? That's the opposite of good.

Um,

so the six mana there enables Jimmy to flip Tony Stark if he wants to and let him play a free artifact this turn. Now, there is a small window there that opens Tony up to removal, but the only mana untapped on the board are Tor's two uh treasures. So, pretty safe move.

Quick question, audience, how far ahead do you want me to get here?

What kind of question is that?

Better than the 10 rings. I'm going for it. Tor, tell me you got a removal spell for what?

Tor Iron Man Iron Man that's going to get flipped,

but he does the four thing and I like it.

Let's set for six.

It's a five5.

Oh,

no. No. Yeah. Yeah, it's a five5. It's a five5.

I'm not sure. I like that.

Yeah. Well, first let's play a Nexus of Becoming.

Oh,

you're casting the Nexus.

Oh, he's not flipping.

Okay. Oh, you can put the

And it's at the beginning of combat. All right.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Okay. Okay. And then

Oh, you could just hard cast that. I didn't even think about it.

Yep.

You can do that.

Cast spells in artifact decks. I thought you just shoot them for free.

Uh, you have a trigger. I do have a trigger. Dowsing device will trigger. Uh, oh, come on. Audience, it's GMU.

Plus one plus O.

Hey, specifically for that.

Oh, this almost works.

But it's still pretty good.

Okay.

Spooky. I mean, the tank here. That next becoming is huge, letting him get additional cards and then get them out of his hand and basically put them onto the battlefield. And we know he has that 10 rings and who knows what else is kicking around in his hand right now.

Yeah, things looking really good here for team Avengers.

Now, one

Yeah.

Now, I will call out one critical difference is because next of becoming makes them tokens and not the actual card. It does mean that bounce spells are a little more brutal. So maybe Ash or Tomer could have some play there. But uh definitely a strong strong strong play from Jimmy Wong.

Let's go to combat.

Oh, before you go to combat though, I might have something to do. Okay,

I'm going to cash in one of these treasures for a green.

Yeah.

And I'm terrified at all the weird things you have in your artifact hand. So, I'm just going to CAST NATURE'S.

OH MY [screaming] GOSH, THERE IT IS.

Get lame.

Targeting the nexus of becoming. But don't worry, Josh. It does gain you four life.

Oh, Jimmy. Jimmy.

Jimmy. Ah, sorry.

Well, here's the thing. I do have a nexus of becoming trigger on the stack.

No, no, no. Before you go to combat combat before combat.

Yeah. Yeah.

So sad.

I know.

Well, I almost had an amazing turn.

But you gained some life.

Sure. I'll gain four life and go to 34.

Yeah. 34. Move by Tom there. That Nature's Claim really dramatically changed the tide of the game.

Yeah. Well, that kind of shuts down my entire turn, so I'll pass.

All right, Jimmy.

Thanks for nothing, Tobber.

Scary.

But you gain four life.

Yeah, four life.

Well, I am going to untap.

Uh-huh.

What goes to nine?

And in my upkeep, I have a Court of Garen Brig trigger. I can put plus one counters on my creatures. I'm going to put two on my Kami and two on my Dusk Legion duelist because uh

pretty good. Couple triggers here. Uh one trigger here, I guess. I draw a card from my Dusk Legion duelist and then I will draw a card for turn.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

Draws.

Pretty good. What does this do?

A subtly huge move there for Rachel. Those two counters on the Kami means that it now taps for three. Of course, the additional counters come from the Kami's own ability, which enhances how many counters are put on a creature. So, a three mana mana boost here for Rachel. We could see a pretty big turn coming from her right here.

I maybe an exceptional turn.

I have a pretty interesting turn ahead. Okay, so I am going to play an exotic orchard as my land for turn.

Pretty good. Pretty good. Uh, and then I am going to tap one, two, three, four,

five mana.

And I'm going to cast a beautiful storm. Storm, QUEEN OF WAKANDA.

There's so many monarchs at the table.

It's not my commander of Storm. It's a different storm. She's got a pretty nice attack trigger here. And you know what? It's a pretty interesting decision. So, I think I might need the help of someone in the audience from X-Men to make this attack for me. Uh, if you want to come up on stage and make an attack, put your hands in the air. I will pull somebody out of the audience.

Who wants to come up here?

You look fantastic. Come on up.

All right.

Look at this. Come on.

Oh, yeah.

This is an attachment for a king.

There's another monarch coming up this game. So many monarchs.

Careful.

Battle for the crown.

Wow. Incredible. Very cool. Welcome. Welcome to the stage.

Hello. You look amazing. Uh, what is your name? Where are you joining?

My name is Roland. I'm from Germany. And you brought a monarch to the the stage the second time.

I was going to ask if you wanted to take the monarch, but I bet I know the answer.

Of course. Always choose the monarch.

All right. I'm going to have you take my place at the table, and you're going to make some decisions for me. So, I have this attacker and I have Storm in play. She's got a very powerful attack trigger that lets me uh remove a creature. So, I want you to look at the board

and look at where the crown is and make a decision

where a crown is.

A crown. Sorry, that's not the crown.

I don't see one.

All right. So, my only creatures I can attack with are the Kami that currently taps for three and the Dust Legion duelist. That's the four four with vigilance.

So, I am going to go to combat. Yes.

And I'm going to leave this attack up to you. Where would you like to send one or both of these creatures?

So maybe we should keep Akami back because of its mana ability. I haven't seen the rest of your hand yet.

Um, but I would definitely like to check.

I'm sorry, Toma, but do you have any creatures with reaching?

You know, Mr. Fantastic looks like he should have reach. How about that? Looks like it.

Sally does not. No,

this one can't attack just yet. But this one.

That means um we would give this creature fly and plus X plus zero, right?

Yes.

So smart.

Vigilance too. So you don't even have to tap it. And

it goes into whenever Storm attacks.

Storm attack.

She must attack. Yeah.

Oh, she must attack.

Yes.

No, it all falls apart.

Tor's not blocking this though. Come on. I might. This is terrible.

Do we have anything that gives haste?

Do we know what our cards do?

Don't worry.

Hang on. I have 1 2 3 four mana. So, we could do this and then

this is whenever a creature with flying attacks.

I am so sorry. So embarrassed to have a monarch here. No, it was my Well,

but I don't think Turmo will block with his four four commander. You attack her.

Can I get this in play and target? Nope. I don't have enough.

That's a very reasonable.

All right, let's move to combat.

Go ahead. You can push it into the red zone yourself.

We stay uh with the first decision, but it doesn't fly. You may block if you like. [screaming]

You know, okay. Well, you have a crown. I would like one as well. Thank you so much for claiming a crown. Aren't we a lovely duo?

I'll take four. Thank you so much for making this attack. The next one is dedicated to you. One more round of applause for Kenri the

new cards. New cards.

Still worked out.

It still worked out just fine. Took the took the crown. Have a new storm in play. Happy with all these things.

Must be nice.

Must be nice. and to play a queen and become a queen. Uh, and

now my my head is so cool. I feel

with that I do have four mana remaining. So, what I think I am going to do,

one good queen reserves uh deserves another. I'M GOING TO PLAY STORM WIND RIDER.

And that's it. I'm going to pass the turn AND DRAW FOR THE MONARCH. What a turn for team X-Men.

Double storm.

Two storms.

Thanks.

Yeah, I will untap.

Okay, I will draw

now. Decent chance hits that ledger shredder come down again. The good news is it is only a two mana play. So that coming down kind of reset Josh's uh presence here, allowing him to deal some damage on other players turns. And Josh is sitting at a healthy 33 points of life as well. So in a decent spot here. He does need to build up his board presence. You look at Rachel's board for example, that's a lot of potential uh stuff she's got going on over there. Damage can be clocked in on the next turn. Tor also has a pretty good force here growing and they can attack right over way with that draw bridge. So Josh is looking to shore things up a little bit whether it's putting creatures down or blowing stuff up.

So with the two storms, if I'm reading this right,

yes,

a creature with flying attacks you, you can deal damage, but no creatures with flying can attack you.

Yes.

Okay. So that last ability can't happen on the non-commander.

As long as both of those are in play. Yes.

Whenever a creature with flying attacks you. Yes. Yeah.

Okay.

So they're a bit of a non-bo these storms.

But they are big.

All right. Let's tap two. Let's recast Ledger Shredder.

There it is.

Then I'll play Command Tower as my land for turn.

Okay.

Yeah. Command Tower.

Warm. Let's go four mana for a Kang Dynasty.

Oh, huge. Good one.

And that will of course trigger the ledger shredder. That is not good.

That will trigger my ledger shredder. I will connive.

Too bad you don't have that in nature's play.

That was good. That you guys have been practicing.

That's a good one. I will discard a mountain.

Oh gosh.

Wow. This is huge.

Triggering my commander. Two to everybody.

Oh no. all the damage. It's a 25.

Go to 32.

29.

Uh, I will draw because I discard a card for Realel.

Okay.

Yeah. Nice.

War counter for the

All right. Kang Dynasty comes in on chapter one. So, for each opponent, I can tap and go one of their creatures. Um,

all right. It's pretty cut and dry, but let's just hear from uh it's Well, there's a Fantastic Four and a Jolene that are nominees here. What do we think? Team Doom.

Four.

Four.

Yeah. Yeah. The 04. Yeah. The drawbridge.

All right. I will tap and go Fantastic 4.

That makes sense.

Jimmy, I've only got one choice. I'll tap and go

me Stark. I have to do one for each person.

Oh, each Oh my gosh.

And then this one's interesting. There's two storms. This is the commander storm. This is the the other one. All right. I by volume of cheers. You can see where I'm pointing, right?

All right. By volume of cheers, I'll start here and I'll move this way. Ready? The commie.

Not good.

Dusk Legion Duelist.

Storm. Not Not Commander Storm.

Commander Storm.

All right. Not Commander Storm will be tapped and goed.

The Queen of Wakanda will be tapped and goed.

Yep. Okay. Um, unfortunately, even with the menace, I don't have an attack on Rachel cuz she's got two fours and I have a three- three.

So then that will do it for me. I will pass the turn.

That is the power.

Josh, YOU I have a I should still go to I haven't done the the cany for doom. Yeah, I was wrong about that. I did the knife for legislator, which confused me. I will go to combat. I will connive.

I am going to discard. Oh, this is a little bit of a tough choice here.

Jeez, so many options for

too many options. Too many villain pieces.

No, tell me flip.

Lot of pieces.

Draw a lot of cards as well.

That's good. That's good.

Assuming we all hit each other.

I'm going to discard this crypt crawler chariot which will put a counter on Dr. Doom. It's a good one.

I think Rachel would probably trade me here though, so I'm not going to attack for the monarch. Should I attack one of the other open players?

All right. By volume of cheers,

TORY. Goshly Quai attacking Jimmy Wong. This has never happened before.

Never in the game of night.

You heard him, Jimmy. It was them. It was Democrat.

Like there's a rivalry going on that I'm not part of. All right, Jimmy four coming in.

It's only cuz I have no life tool, not cuz my board state. I'll get 28.

All right, commander.

Go ahead, Tor.

Okay. Wow, that was that was a lot of stuff on this side of the board.

Yeah, Tor,

we're going to untap.

All right, goes to 11. Oh, my poor hand is going away.

All right, let's see. We're draw. We're going to see if we got anything going on.

No.

No.

Okay, so I'm going to start things by paying one, two, and three. And we're going to cast spinner of souls,

which has a power of

Yeah,

pretty good.

So, I'm going to draw card. Um, and then we are going to go to combat. And the Fantastic 4 is goated. I can't attack Josh. Uh, Rachel has so much stuff. So, Jimmy, I'm sorry. I'm going to go to combat

and I'm not going to hit you for everything. I'm just going to hit you for four.

It's always four.

Always four damage from the Fantastic Four.

Yeah, take four.

And I get a trigger from Jolene. So, I make another treasure token.

Yep, that triggers King Dynasty. Thank you. I will also draw a card.

Oh my gosh.

Okay.

And if I sequenced it better, this would have been better turn, but it is fine. Oh, wait. No, I have a thing. Yay.

Sundering eruption. The other side of it.

We're going to play an MDFC. It's volcanic fissure untapped.

Oh my gosh.

Wow. Let's Let's take a bolt to the face. So, we'll go to 22.

Okay.

Yeah. And then we'll cast the saddest Outcaster Trailblazer. Sequencing, my friends.

Not my forte.

Uh, for the extra. I see. Okay.

It has a power of four though.

Excellent. So, it triggers the Fantastic 4 once more.

Oh,

and that means I get to choose another option. One that I haven't chosen before.

Three options.

Yeah,

three options. Oh, yes. Got a wall.

Less than four now. Yeah.

Uh I think I'm just going to make a wall because a safety wall. You know, everything's a little bit scarier right now.

A safety wall.

Uh that was second skull for legis.

Oh, yes. That will trigger a ledger spreader on that second spell. I will connive.

We need to do something about Josh's board, guys.

Uh, yeah, you guys can do it.

I'm going to discard a Canyon Slooh.

Yep.

All right. You know what that means?

Real still, right?

Uh, yep.

Yep.

Oh, yeah. We're going to

That will trigger my commander. Everybody take two.

227

and then I'll draw because of real.

Oh my gosh. Yuck.

Those life totals are really starting to dwindle here. players reaching half their starting life total already.

All right, that's it. I have an extra lane from the Outcaster Trailblazer, but I'm not going to use it. I'm just going to pass to you, Jimmy.

Okay, I'm going to untap.

It's the last one.

We go to 12.

Go to 12 and midnight.

The clock has struck midnight.

I will float a blue with the clock and it is going to exile. And then unfortunately, that sweet 10 rings I have is going to go into deck.

Wow.

I was worried about 10. Yeah.

No, no. Tor's play set me back about a mile and a half. So,

all right.

Again, though, that's technically right. I've seen you do things like that.

Fresh new seven here.

I'm really hoping for at least a land and then one sweet uh artifact here.

Yeah. While Jimmy may be shuffling his 10 rings, he still has six mana. I can still flip or can still flip Tony Stark.

No, not yet.

Presuming you draw a land. What are the odds Jimmy draws a land everybody?

Yeah. Well, those are the only lands in the deck. So,

wait, you floated the one, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

You have six.

No, no, no, it goes away. I'm in my upkeep right now.

Yeah. Oh,

you still flip you flip.

I could flip Tony right now. No, activate

sorcery. Okay, but you do get seven new cards, which is pretty nice.

Yeah, sure.

There's got to be a land in there, right?

Josh is currently getting seven cards.

There has to be a land in those seven. There must certainly will be.

There's a land in those seven, right, audience? We don't believe in

Yeah, the audience believes in you partially.

We'll see. We'll see. This could be a huge turn for me. We'll see. We'll see.

There must be a land in seven cards.

Josh, I play all them out of my deck. I'm trying.

There would never. It's not possible for a human being to draw seven point cards and not get a land.

No, I'll call out once again.

Josh

Josh totally tapped out. Rachel totally tapped out. Tor just has one treasure up. That was enough to thwart Jimmy's plans last time, but maybe he can't do it again. So, it seems like Jimmy should be pretty safe.

Jimmy, I don't have to use a treasure.

I don't know.

Hard of the cards.

We'll see. We'll see. All right, let's see. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.

All right, Jimmy, what do we find?

All right, there's a land. Okay.

Is it untapped? We should have said untapped.

Okay. Okay. Okay. We're We're looking good. We're looking good. As long as no one kills Tony.

I do have one floating mana. Can I use it right now? The answer is no.

Did you draw the turn?

Tony's are as sorcery only. Sorcery only. Yeah. So, I will draw for the turn now. Go.

All right. Eight cards in Jimmy's hand. He needs a big play to push him back into this game.

Jimmy Wong, what do you got?

Let's drop a training center.

Yeah, he's got it. He's got it. And

better lands. Yeah.

Yeah, the path is open. I think

the path is open. Let's see. 1 2 3 4 5 six lands here. I think I am going to just pay all six

and we're going to transform Tony Stark

into the invincible Iron Man. Now, notably, this is still goated. The permanent did not leave the battlefield, so it cannot go after Josh. Uh,

it can also not go after me.

Oh, it flies.

Bye.

Yeah. All right. Well, I will go to combat. I got to put an artifact from my hand.

What is it? What are we What are we cheating out?

Um, let's go ahead and cheat out a

cityscape leveler.

Now, it uh

device does get a trigger here. It's not cast, so I won't get that, but I will get plus one plus O AND HASTE.

OH,

WOW.

AND invincible Iron Man, I'm going to combat will go at Tor. It must. And then the leveler will go at you, Josh. get to destroy up to one target nonland permanent

boy. So we have the king dynasty, we have realel, we have ledger shredder.

What is a difficult choice? [snorts]

King dynasty. What was the last chapter do Josh?

Uh it's I I give a creature plus one plus one for each card in my hand and it can't be blocked this turn. There's also another round of goating.

Another round of goating next turn. Next chapter. Okay. I think it's got to be the King Dynasty then.

Plus I will draw if you hit but if it's not I won't draw.

All right. So Four. Yes.

Two loves to four.

Iron Man is going at Tor and Secape lover is going at Josh. And the trigger is going to destroy the King Dynasty. Josh, you do get a tapped power stone token, however.

Okay.

Okay.

Very, very useful. Probably.

Yeah. Well, maybe. You never know.

Have some artifacts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Dr. Doom's known to work with artifacts once in a while.

These are not my tokens. Can I get the red pile of tokens?

A huge play there for Jimmy. That was exactly what he needed to have a chance. Now he is still tapped out of creatures but dealing a bunch of damage untapped. He'll be in really good shape next turn. So really great move there by Jimmy.

The midnight clock rewarded him.

Okay, let's go to damage.

Ah yeah. Well, we go to blocks first.

Block. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Terra, would you like to block? Uh it's a five five.

I don't block. Right.

Uh my spinner

an 88 with a 98 with triple.

Uh you know what? I think I'm just going to take the five to the face. [snorts]

Okay. Sorry, Tom. Right. didn't want to swing at you there.

Genuinely,

it's fine. I'm still alive. Barely.

All right, I take nine and go to uh 24.

Okay. Okay, that was a good equalizer.

I still draw a card from the king.

Good equalizer.

Huge turn for Jimmy.

I don't draw from the king dynasty. Correct. Because it is no longer on the battlefield.

Battlefield. Yeah, that was great.

Okay,

Rachel, I can't attack her

till

Well, I could with the level turn whenever any of those creatures draw a card. So,

oh, it's on the permanent, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

It does not depend on this being in play.

I do draw. Thank you.

All right. That was a pretty turn. I'm right back in it. Kind of. I'm really open. I think Rachel can oneshot me, but I'll pass on to you.

All right.

I'm in danger.

I will untap. And uh on my upkeep, you're the monarch. I still have this crown on my hand.

Oh crap.

Wow.

Which is pretty good right now. Oh god.

So, let's put some counters on things.

Oh my goodness.

So, I get to put two plus one counters on Storm and two plus one counters on Storm and then double the number of plus one counters on each creature I control.

Oh no,

what a huge turn here from Rachel Week. That is going to supercharge all of her creatures and her mana generation.

Yeah, Rachel's just storming out those right now.

Wow.

Row.

And you're also going to get the uh commie trigger puts extra, right? If it put on

Sure does. All of my creatures will have five and then I'll draw a card for what we can do about it.

This is crazy.

You can't attack into that. Attack into it. She's going to be attacking us. I know.

Yeah. We and our flowers can't attack her because of

block me. I will play a plains as my land for turn.

Uh oh. When I put the plus one counters on dust legion jewelist, I draw a card.

Okay.

Rachel will go the highest life total and the best board right now. It's got to be good to be Rachel. We

make men crushing it so far.

Pretty good. It's pretty good.

Mhm. I would like to start things off by paying two mana and casting Contest of Claws.

Oh my goodness.

I know you all remember my friend Wolverine. Uh he's not in this picture, but he likes claws. Uh and I am going to have my highest power creature, which is uh Storm, Queen of Wakanda, fight your ledger shredder, Josh.

Yep. Okay. Ledger shredder down. Six damage. That feels like a bad sign.

Six excess damage was dealt. So I get to cover for six.

Oh my goodness.

Let's hope we get something cool. Fell Warstone. That's cool. That's fine. That's fine. That's what we wanted.

That's what we wanted in.

Give it up for Felwar Stone.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah. Now I am going to pay two mana and I am going to cast travel preparations.

Oh god.

Puts a plus one plus one counter on each of up to two target creatures.

I'm [snorts] going to put two on the dusk legion duelist and two on

storm queen of Wakanda for sure.

You have a board wipe.

Yeah. Because I do not have one. So, seven here and seven here.

Holy smokes.

And the storm wind rider will trigger which gives my dusk legion duelist flying.

Oh,

now we have a very good attack right now. A

and uh I did bring up somebody for a slightly less lackluster attack,

but he got

this is a better one that got you the monarch that got you here.

That's true. That makes sense. The crown is the important thing here.

So, I think I need to bring up another member of the audience who is going to GET TO DO A TON OF DAMAGE TO ONE OR TWO of my opponents.

All right, who wants to come up on stage? Raise your hand.

[singing]

You want to come up on stage? Come on. We are going to make a big attack here. Are you ready? Oh, wow.

Oh, my favorite event of the night. Being murdered by a child.

Oh, boy.

Hey, S. All right. What is your name, my friend?

My name is J. My name is Jamie. And um Yeah.

Where are you from?

From Germany.

From Germany. We have so many people from Germany tonight. All right. Come on, Jamie. Okay. Can you see at this table? It's a little high. Okay. We've got four creatures that can attack. They're all pretty big.

One has to not go at Josh

when this one can't go at Josh.

Okay.

But it can buff another creature by its power, which is a lot.

11.

11. So,

and these two have flying.

These three all have flying.

So, yep. So you can send them wherever you'd like and you can decide which creature that gets buffed by that.

Oh my lord.

Oh my goodness.

This is a lot of power to divvy out.

Yeah.

You could probably kill a player if you wanted to.

Yeah.

And I'm going to give you that option. What do you think?

No. No. No. Yeah.

So this one can't go at Josh. So who do you think we should send this one at?

I think

I like how Jimmy Hey, don't don't The Fantastic Four Storm Queen get out of here

is attacking the Fantastic Four. All right, now we have three more creatures.

I just want to remind you, Jimmy, that Jim Jimmy is here. He's just hiding behind you.

Yeah, he's behind

you. I'm doing my best.

All right, now we've got some other creatures to attack with. I think we should probably send them all.

I would say all of Josh.

All of what? All of them. drop all of them.

That's a lot. That's a lot of drops.

All right.

So, we have

You have a Yeah,

we have an attacker from Storm. Storm is going to give something else. Plus 11. Plus 11. They're all going at Josh.

Don't pump this one. It's going to hit him.

I think I'm dead. If you pump one of the flyers.

Are we trying to take out Jos Lequ right now?

All right. Which one of these creatures is getting plus 11 + 11?

Storm.

Storm.

Storm

gets plus 11 plus O. Josh.

So that's 16 + 9 is 25.

Yeah. Plus the 66 on the ground.

Right. Right. I mean I'll block the 66 on the ground,

but uh 25 and zero mana open. Oh, that looks like we might be.

Hold on. Hold on. Is there anything you can do, Tor, cuz saving Josh might be actually the right play here if you have

I have some spells that cost four mana.

Sorry, your whole hand's filled with four drops. Okay, never mind.

Okay, well that damage 25 to the face.

Oh my, are you blocking?

Okay.

Oh, yes. I I That's a How much it's flying?

It's 11.

Yeah, I'm blocking with the spinner souls. It has reach. Thank you. is their secret. The worst part. That's not crazy.

All right. So, that Josh is going to go to zero here. And that looks to me like that's going to be a knockout. [screaming]

Oh my gosh.

Down for the count. Josh League.

Wow. Doom falls. I think I need to reconsider my blood feud with Josh.

Yeah, maybe he maybe he wasn't a true villain after all.

Yeah, the castle garb break sneakily was up

it's time to team up.

Yeah, what can you do?

Uh cityscape leveler at her.

Okay, there's a 99 blocker. So

now spinner of souls dies. Does that trigger itself?

No, it says another. Okay,

another no token.

Just another so I don't get anything.

You know, I think that was a pretty good turn. I'm going to draw for Monarch, but I think you guys deserve a little value, too. HOW ABOUT SOME LOOSE?

WOW. YES.

Bring out Night in the Squires. Here we go. Hands up. Get ready to dance. Knock. Knock pull loose. Knock pull loose. Throw the rest in there. Go, go, go. Where it at? Well.

All right. Thank you, good sir. fire. Hey, let's hear for Natty and the Flyers.

I do want to say I did have a board wipe in hand.

Dumas has a plan.

So, I guess it was the right choice, but my goodness.

Well, I guess I'm going to untap.

Go ahead, Tor. And now we can say tick tock, but for a very different

Yeah. To our doom. All right, let's see if either of these players can take away Rachel's board state. Now, Rachel does only have one untapped blocker. So, that is worth noting. You at least try and claim the monarchy from her so she doesn't double all creatures counters again. But the other creatures on the table are going to be a big issue.

Cityscape leveler though poised to blow at least one thing up. So, that's something.

Okay.

But I can't do until my turn. They'll probably be the big storm that pluses things.

Five. I don't know. And you currently cannot attack Rachel with any flyers. Not that it matters right now.

He does not have any.

Do I die?

Can you get the dust? Okay, how about this?

Maybe we can kill Rachel.

If you can get the dust d.

I have an idea. Oh,

maybe she has mana open. She does have mana open, but let's ignore that. Nothing.

I play by general philosophy. It's called make her have it. So, I'm going to play for five mana.

Whoa. Okay,

we're going to cast Spider-Man 2099 Miguel O'Hara.

Yeah. What does that do?

When it enters, return up to one target creature to its owner's hand.

Okay. Okay.

So,

you could bounce

bounce the the 99. Can we attack on the ground?

Yes, you can attack on the ground.

And we're not going to get boom boommed by the the the

So, I can take care of two of her creatures.

Heck yeah, let's do it. Well, no, we could go for lethal, I think.

Uh yeah, maybe the leveler and Tony Stark here. So, when I cast Spider-Man 2099, it does have a power and toughness of [screaming]

Yes. So, we're going to uh you know what? How about

plus some counters?

Uh, deal three.

Yeah, deal damage.

Let's flame on and three damage. Bam. Bam.

I'll go to next.

Uh, I'll go to 24

and uh I will try to bounce the Dusk Legion duelist. Try to bounce the Dusk Legion duelist.

Yeah, please.

She's got something.

Please and thank you.

Sounds like

All right, X-Men. We've got an option.

Options. Well, you know she had something cuz Travel Prep is in the graveyard. She could have flashed.

We've got Right. We've got a card that does a couple things.

Uhoh.

It kills something

or it protects a creature.

Should we kill something

or protect this blocker on the ground right now?

I think that's a good option. Let's try that.

I am going to deploy one Spider-Man to save another.

Spectacular tactics. I'm going to put a plus one counter on my Dusk Legion Duelist, which is two. So, it goes [snorts] up to nine. Oh, jeez.

Uh, and then I will draw a card.

And it gains hex proof until end of turn. No. And it gains hex proof

until end of turn.

Okay. And now it's an 1111.

Now we're in trouble.

So you could at least get in for a minimum of

Oh, I do draw from the Outcaster Trailblazer cuz power. So maybe that changes. Nope, it does not

still get in for eight.

And you get a land. Yeah, if you swing everything.

Yeah, it's true. You can draw bridge. Your

They don't eat one fly yet, but I do need blockers.

How about this? I won't come at you at all, Tor, if you swing at least three creatures at her. But I don't know if that'll be enough for me to take her out because again, she has two mana open. Um, there could be like a heroic intervention.

Well, we got to try because we're like super dead in the air.

Yes, we are super dead in the air.

So, I'm going to activate the crashing drawbridge to give my team haste. Then we're going to go

what?

What?

Storm trigger.

I did from the the duelist.

Yeah, the duelist flies now.

OH, [screaming] THE DUELIST flies now. Great.

Uhoh. Does that matter?

Does that matter?

I don't know.

X-Men really flies now.

Well, I'm going to go to combat

on the ground.

And uh you know what? We're going to just swing the entire army at Rach.

Whoa, big attack.

Hope for the best.

Wait, how many four fours is that?

That's four of them. Four fours

and a four two. Sorry, two four twos.

And I get a treasure. Oo, a shiny one. Wow.

Okay, so how much damage is this? Is this 16 * 4 + 4 + 4 + 4? Yeah.

Yeah,

it's a lot of damages.

It's a lot of damages. How worried am I about Jimmy having direct damage? I mean, flipping this dowsing device is pretty bad.

Yeah, I can will be able to pump if I do flip it, but I need an artifact.

Rachel's in a tough spot here being attacked for 16 damage. And she can block one of them, take 12, have her life total, and then Jimmy certainly has enough damage on his own over there to be able to finish things out.

Yeah, especially with that

escape level. Sure.

We're a standoff though because if what Jimmy has if then he kills off Rachel, Tor might be able to finish off Jimmy. So, it's a real back and forth. How much do we want to do to anybody situation?

Uh, I'm ready to go to blocks.

Okay.

Okay. I will block your Spider-Man with my Dusk Legion duelist. And I can't do anything about the remaining 12.

Oo. All right. Spider-Man dies.

Spider-Man dies. But I will draw one, two, three cards.

Almost. Almost. Great.

One or more.

One or more. I draw one card. I can read.

Uh, but I will take 12

and go down to 12.

I'll draw big hit.

Life gone.

Oh yeah. Yeah.

OH, YEAH. THE GROUND. OH, NICE.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you. Thank you.

You're sorry about how sweaty it is.

Yes. I was going to say it again.

Feel the sweat.

That quickly takes Rachel off of that double encounter trigger on Castle Garen. So, that's worth noting.

Uh Jolene.

Oh, I got one. I got one. That was when I attacked. I'm going to play an error Messa as my lane draw for the turn. And uh

yeah. Uh Jimmy.

Yeah. Save us, please.

I mean, you did a lot. You did 15 without swinging at the very least.

I will say we didn't shake on it, but I did say I would not attack you this turn.

What? We got He got it.

We got it. We got it on the attack. We got it.

Oh, Monarch Ger. Yeah, I was that one. We didn't get Thank you.

Oh, I have brown hair.

All right, I'll untap and I won't draw. So, a very interesting turn here, Felipe, because if Jimmy sends both of his creatures at Rachel and kills off

unless he can answer this.

Yeah, Iron Man cannot.

The problem is the one stops flyers from attacking if he removes that. But then the other one kills something if he attacks with a flyer.

Yeah,

the two storms. Can we bring the two storms up on the uh

whenever flying attacks?

Storm Queen of Wakanda and Storm Wind Rider.

Storm Queen of Wakanda will kill a flyer that attacks me.

Ah, I see. It's really going to depend a lot on the artifact artifact.

Okay. Uh I will play as my

fantastic for us, please.

Lava Glade Pathway.

Got that.

Yeah. So, even if it has one removal spell, it still doesn't get a lot easier.

Yeah, it's true. Okay, I will tap. Is it whenever it attacks?

If a flyer attacks her, then this thing will deal it will kill something.

Gotcha. All right, let's play an ether spell bomb.

Something

that is going to trigger the dowsing device. So that's going to go plus one plus O to let's say the cityscape leveler and then this will transform into geode grotto.

Yep.

Now here's the thing.

That's interesting. [snorts] You might not need the flyer.

I might not. But if Rachel has a single response to a artifact in her green white deck.

Yep.

We are in trouble.

Yeah.

And I have to activate the geode grotto at in sorcery speed. And currently it will add only plus three plus o. Well, he could remove a blocker and see what the response.

But this thing's got nine power now.

It's got nine power and it will remove a blocker when it attacks.

That's true.

So, but I cannot I'm in a conundrum here, right? I can't swing the environment at her. It will be instantly deleted by the other storm trigger.

And her current blocker is massive and I have to get that out of the way.

Well, you have two ways to get it now. So, unless she's got two protections for it.

Well, I can't even swing with Iron Man because

No, what I'm saying is you kill it with the lead leveler. She goes to protect it. You bounce it.

Yeah.

Yeah. This isn't speed. So,

I mean, I'll bounce my own creature to my own hand and just die.

No, you bounce it.

Yeah. Yeah, I can bounce that.

Jimmy saying if there's

But I cannot I can't have enough

removal a removal spell on your

Yeah. Remove in my hand will undo it. Unfortunately.

No, I mean removal spell from her.

From her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Four, five, six, seven mana. If only I had one more.

Oh, man. Somebody had to say it.

Only not get that Iron Man trigger.

Mana. I will get an iron man trigger. That is

a free artifact which could be any number of powerful things in his hand.

Yeah,

very tight.

This is very very tight. Yeah. H can't do that. I'm just going to die.

What do you think, Filipo? Like how do you think you navigate out of this one? What's the move that Jimmy's going to need?

It really depends on what he has on his hand, right? We don't know what kind of artifacts he might have. I mean, I I personally love the pump the city leveler attack for 12, kill off the blocker, and just hope he doesn't have anything.

That's the move I would make. You say make them have it, Gavin.

Make them have it. Make them have it. Make them have it. Rachel's had a bunch of tricks. She only had one trick previously when uh Tor was attacking. So I I kind of like just going for it.

The problem is that in my experience, Rachel Weekes usually has it.

Always running interaction. Who does that? What?

What do you think? Actually,

if you're going to lose, if she does have it, then you might as well lose anyway.

You might as well full send it. I'm like, well, I'm dead either way, you know?

in the tank. Talk about tick tock.

Oh yeah, you're feeling good, aren't you?

Of course, the real X factor here or perhaps the A factor based on what we're seeing on the screen is what is in Jimmy's hand, right? That free artifact play off Iron Man is could really turn around a lot of things depending on what Jimmy's got. So deep in the tank here trying to figure that out. And once again, here's the trick. If Jimmy attacks and does successfully kill off Rachel, that's great news. But then Toraps and can take out Jimmy. So, what is the move? Like, how are you going to navigate out of this one? It's very tricky and Jimmy needs something good in his hand, I think, right now to be able to position himself in both.

Let's get some information. So, I'm going to go to combat and Iron Man will trigger.

All right, so we're not activating the geoc.

No.

Uh, no. There's That's way too much mana. I can't afford it. I'm going to put a combustible gear hulk on.

That's pretty good.

And Rachel, would you have me draw three cards or mill three and take the combined mana value worth of damage? You can have the cards, right?

Yeah,

you can have the cards.

All right, three potentially gamechanging cards here.

Okay, that's a pretty good one to put into play.

Right now, notably, I mean, if uh Jimmy removes the storm that grants flying, that could also maybe let him just block and survive a little bit, too.

It's all It's all fun in games when you're like attacking the villain, but then the villain is out and now it's superheroes versus superheroes.

Yeah, exactly. All right, I think I got it.

Okay.

12 12 12 12.

Cityscape leveler is going to come at you, Rachel, for nine. When that attacks, I'm going to delete your uh Dusk Legion Duelist.

Okay.

All right. Dusk Legion Duelist. Unfortunately, it's deleted.

It worked. It worked.

But All right.

It's only nine damage. It's not 12.

Power stone.

Yeah, you got power stone. Do we go to damage? Rachel Weekes. No.

Oh.

Oh, Josh was right. I guess

I told you she always has it.

I would like to cast a card. Well, hang on. You've got this bounce spell now.

Do you have a bounce spell?

No,

that's a draw spell.

There is an ether spell. Ether spell bomb on the board.

Then you can draw anything.

It is a draw spell. You're right. You're right.

You can even find another bounce spell.

Bounce spell now. So if

Come on, take nine. I mean, how much extra damage could he do? He's red.

I currently don't have Yeah, the geogra is off. It is sort of It's Jimmy. He's got lightning bolt in the deck at the very least.

Yes, that's true. It isn't that.

Yeah.

Let me draw with the spell bomb. You know,

I mean, I would love for you to draw with a spell bomb, but if I do that, then what?

Man, this is uh down to the wire here.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work.

He's feeling better by the second. We'll see.

She's taking it.

I go to three.

What is the card? Will she get to untap?

Four. Four more damage. Four more damage. Right. Minus one.

I need some audience help here. Who wants to come up and make a very pivotal choice for me?

Wow. What did he draw?

Oh gosh.

Let's go into the back here.

This is crazy.

Someone from the very back. Jimmy's got secrets and his brains have to help out.

Yeah, let's see.

All right. Who's the biggest mono red player here?

Does he have lie people?

Who's the biggest mono red? No lying.

That he was someone's getting pointed at and he was shaking his head. No. So, big mon red player back here. Who is it? Is that you?

Come on up.

Why red Larry Gin?

This is tight everybody. We I mean tight as in like close, not like tight isn't cool. We'll see. We'll see. All right, we have a friend coming up the stage. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.

Jimmy walking further back by time to think about it, I'm sure. I mean, this

I'm thinking about it, too. I'm thinking about it as

I got something.

Rachel has something, but we don't know what it is.

It could be lands.

What could that be that Rachel has? So many lands.

All right, sir. What is your name and where are you from?

Uh my name is Eager. I'm from Brazil.

Wow. Brazil.

Brazil.

Who you uh who you rooting for to win the World Cup?

Oh man.

Anyone but Argentina, right?

All right, Eigor. Right, come on up. So, I currently have 1 2 3 4 5 6 seven mana. All right. Currently on board, I have an Ether spell bomb, which will cost one. If I do that, I go down to six. Rachel's at three life currently. Can you hold this?

Yes.

In my hand, I have this card. You can read it.

Who's he at?

What card is it?

Lightning. Player. So

that'll go away on her board, which would

we know we have something

sweating so much.

I also use my cap.

And she has no way to die. But it will it will it will then stop this option from being able to do.

That's good that he got the crown away from me. Six.

But it's pretty sad.

Wow. They they are really chatting up a storm over there saying secrets to each other.

Jimmy just wanted somebody to bounce ideas off of

getting tired of brainstorming session.

Okay.

They're they're they're

deliberating. Do something as a team.

All right. Audience audience right now. Who do you think is going to win? Is it Is it the X-Men?

All right. Do you think they're going to win?

Do you think the Avengers are going to win?

Or do you think the Fantastic 4 is going to win?

And team Doom, can I hear a boo?

All right, Doom, you're eliminated. Who do you got? Do you have Avengers?

No, they got Doom. They got Doom.

Win. We're still going to win somehow.

Eager, step up to the table. All right, here we go. The necessary mana spell that you would like to cast. I'll tap one red.

Okay. Please cast the spell you would like to cast.

Is it lightning bolts?

Of course it is. [screaming]

Who would YOU LIKE TO TARGET WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT?

Your face.

The thing.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Oh no.

I do have a response.

Oh no.

All right. Lightning bolt target Rachel on the stack.

But you will, too. Uhoh.

I'm going to cast Heroic Sacrifice.

Targeting my Kami of Whispered Hopes.

It chooses a creature I control. Until end of turn, all damage that would be dealt to me and creatures I control is dealt to the chosen creature instead.

Whoa. Can we just bounce it?

If If that creature is still on the battlefield. Yeah. Oh,

well, we have a bounce spell on the

Do you have a response?

We do have a response.

I thought you might.

Please tap the necessary mana.

Yeah.

Yeah. One blue

in the graveyard.

What would you like to do?

One blue.

Yep. One red, one blue.

We're going to bounce that

My heroic sacrifice will be no more

and I will be left by my own storm IN THE SKY.

GO.

That's enough everybody.

Wow.

Take a bow, Eigor. Take a bow. Take him out. Take him out.

Turn.

What a play. What a turn.

Let's hear it for Eigor, everybody.

Man, those audience members are brutal.

I love the What a slow roll there, too. Amazing.

Love that. I mean,

all right.

Yeah. Mhm.

Should have played it in response to the

quite a turn.

It was quite a turn. Only two remain. The Avengers and the Fantastic Four. But who will win it all?

We're still here.

Five mana.

Combat's over.

Yeah. Yeah. Combat's over.

I don't think you can do 15 out of combat.

Yeah, that's good.

Five mana left.

Five mana left here. Uh, I'm going to tap for three mana and we will play a Ku Battle Armor.

Oh, okay. That's just going to be a blocker, I believe. Uh, [snorts] two mana remaining. Have nothing else to do.

Oh, no. Pretty big turn. Untap. Blue mana. Oh, I'm getting flashbacks.

Okay,

I'm going to pass turn to you, Tor.

All right, endstep. That [snorts] was a pretty big turn.

That was a pretty big turn. Do we think that was a great value of turns?

Let's bring out Nighty and the Squires over another loot drop. Everybody get ready to get some more free stuff. You can thank Eigor for that. Holy moly. Come on out, NY. All right, get ready. Knock pole loot. Knock pole loot. Knock pole loot. Fire at will. [screaming]

All right, good job everyone. Thank you NY. Thank you Squires. Hope you got some free stuff everybody as we wind things into the final stages of this game. Thank you, UNITING THE SQUIRES. WOO!

ALL RIGHT. OH, THAT was quite a turn. I have an endstep thing, though.

Yep.

I'm going to crack my arid Mesa and go to 14. That's a 14

for a shock land.

No.

I think I got a surveillance in here.

I think that's good value. Yeah.

All right. Now, this is a really interesting situation here. Jimmy has amassed such a strong board state and Iron Man is going to keep pushing it forward. Toma really wants to try and find a way to end Jimmy right here. If he can deal with a few of Jimmy's threats on the board and attack in, he might be able to deal a ton of damage, especially if he triggers that um

the test.

Oh, you can't get Oh gosh, I'm very bad at this. I only know basics.

But to needs to have a good hand, have removal, and have threat to get there. This one works. Lush portico.

There you go.

Yeah.

Second try.

Now we'll have seven, maybe eight mana to try and get the job done. Maybe a ninth if that Jolene uh triggers. So, it's going to be a tight one. We're going to see. It could come down to the next turn or two to decide who wins games nights live.

We'll put six in the graveyard. That's not a four.

The deck. Yeah.

Yeah. What's that doing in there?

More toughness.

That's right. Oh, wait.

Is there anything you can reby with?

You know what?

Yeah.

I'm going to put that on top.

Okay. I was gonna say some good.

Oh, wait a minute. I read the card. There's a lot of text on it. It's true.

Gavin, can you please do something about this?

All right. Uh, we're going to draw that six. And doesn't do that.

Okay. Six now, of course, allows you to retrace cards from your graveyards. If there's something particularly good, you can cast it again.

Certainly a naturalizing. have to discard a land for that. There's a naturaliz that's also four life though.

We'll see.

That's for life.

I'm down for that low right now.

We kill.

I don't think so.

Now, it's only permanent cards in your graveyard, right, that you get permanently.

Oh, I am bad at math.

Would you like to take back your six?

You're more than welcome to. Still has four toughness. [snorts]

Um, okay. I have Oh, no.

All right. Tor in the tank. I mean, this is the pivotal turn.

Five flying haste. 66 first strike. 22 menace 88 trample tapped.

Filipe right now like what are you trying to put together?

Well, I feel like I either have to win it this turn or otherwise Jimmy is just going to take it away, you know? So Tmer really needs to get something going.

Yeah, I mean I feel like unless you can really dismantle Jimmy's board and blow up almost everything, this is your turn, right? This is your one window. He's low on mana. You just have to find a way to clear his creatures out and get that damage in. But I don't know what Tor's got. We're going to find out. I think we just have to

I I

Rachel. Okay, I'm going to try.

That's kind of what they do.

All right. Uh we will cast Shaman of the Great Hunts.

Ooh.

And it has a power of

Yes.

And I think we just need damage at this point. So I'm going to flame on

and do three damage to Jimmy's face.

Go to 16. That is a multiple of four.

Okay. Yeah. And I guess do we do anything else?

Four mana available to to right here.

Draw thing. No, he flamed on. Oh, no. Yeah.

Outcast changing also. Okay. More options.

Shaman trigger. We'll never No, not yet.

No, not yet. Uh, it's combat damage. Uh, but already has haste actually. I think we just we just swing the team. I'm combat.

Oh, wow.

I'm going to be aggressive.

Here we go. We just swing everything in the red zone making a treasure kind of hope for the best.

This is now your problem, Jimmy. I'm not doing

maths for blockers. Yeah,

math is for blockers. Exactly. And that gives me a trigger on Jolene, by the way. So, I get another.

Okay, maybe that doesn't

Jolene can sack treasures.

Oh boy. Oh boy.

Deal damage. All right, let's go ahead and put the combustible gear hulk on the shaman of the great hunt. We'll put the ku battle armor on the outcaster trailblazer. Mhm. And

we'll put the invincible iron man on Jolene plundering pugilist.

Okay. Commander unblocked.

So that's four damage from the commander. And currently the armor will trade with trailblazer and these two will eat your two creatures. There is first strike damage as well.

All right. Does Tor have anything here?

I will

declare nothing.

Take uh well these two are going to trade.

Yes. First strike damage. Uh but if that doesn't matter, we'll just go to damage damage.

Yeah. Yeah.

All right. I'll take four and go to 12.

Okay.

Uh Ku and the Dre laser trade and Jolene is eaten and so is the shaman.

And I get a plus one plus one counter on uh the fantastic.

Not because the combustible gear hulk eats it due to first strike.

Oh yeah.

So it's dead by the time.

Oh,

I did not know that. I totally did not do that on purp.

Oh, I was sitting here thinking like, "Oh, Jimmy, what a

All right. Um,

five mana remaining.

I'm going to play a land.

Six mana.

It's going to be a Jetmeir's Garden.

Five mana.

And I'm going to

I'm going to pass it to you, Jimmy.

All right.

I have the crown. I'm going to draw a card first.

You will. You will.

All right. To pass with a five mana up.

Very good.

If you have nothing or is it a bluff?

What the heck?

Untap and draw.

Team Avengers really feeling it. It's tough. This is a tough scenario for Fantastic 4.

Yeah. I mean,

Toma really needed like a board wipe or or removal spells or something there. They did pass with five mana, though, which tells me maybe he's got something going on.

Maybe. I mean, all he could do is do four damage to Jimmy, which is great, but not enough. Let's see.

And Jimmy going to carefully think through his options. What could Tor possibly have? How can I make sure Torishes this turn? Notably, there are two blockers on Tor's side over there to the left.

I forgot to discard. It'll be a stomping ground.

Stomping ground. Okay.

The drawbridge and the 04 wall are still eligible blockers, so they can, you know, block at least one thing on the ground. Presumably, the gear hulk blows something up.

Should we go for the win, everybody?

Let's tap eight mana.

Eight mana.

Going on. Let's cast Shatter Skull Smashing with X equal to six. [screaming]

So, I'm going to be able to do 12 damage demided any way I want amongst two target creatures or Planaines walkers. I'm going to like to do six to both of your walls.

Oh, I needed those.

Uh-oh. Yeah. Uh, that that happens.

That happens.

Okay.

No blockers. Now,

let's go to combat.

Am I good to go to combat?

Yeah.

Invincible Iron Man will trigger. I'll put the 10 rings back in THE PLAY.

HE got it.

It's back.

Time to swing. Combustible gear hulk. Invincible Iron Man. Cityscape leveler. Trigger on the leveler. Blow up the Fantastic 4.

This is bad guy behavior.

Oh wow.

Trigger on the stack.

Trigger on the stack.

One, two, three, and four. [screaming] EITHER you're back and wow, [screaming] what a move.

You get a power stone.

That's true. And I'm going to choose flame on. So I'm going to deal three damage to you cuz I cast a four mana spell.

I'll get a nine. All right. Uh, I was hoping to untap with a bigger board state.

All right, the boards are now clear. Both players entering in with no creatures to speak of. Of course, J still has the 10 rings and three in his hand, but this is the turn Tor might need to get back and be the first player to act, get on the aggro here.

All right. Uh, land for turn. It's Uros, Titanic, Godcore. Uh, 1, two, three, four, five, six cards in hand. I'll move to my endstep and draw four additional cards. How bouncing the cards also made the 10 rings worse. And I don't get the monarch notably.

Nice.

Yeah.

All right, Tor.

All right,

your turn.

Now, notably because Jimmy is at nine, like you can recast the your commander and you only need three triggers from it to kill Jimmy off. So, you get one this turn on with flame on. And if you can somehow sequence one also on Jimmy's turn and then one back on your turn, that's nine damage right there. I don't know what's [clears throat] in Tormer's hand or if he's able to do that. But I believe there are cards that cost four in his hand or have a power toughness of four.

Some of them,

but you're going to need still need to get that last little bit of damage and somehow you can only do it once on this.

Haste. Yeah.

Yes, it does give it haste. It cost three mana, however, and they only have 1 2 3 4 5 six after that.

That's not great.

Seven when

And notably, the invincible iron man does have haste as well. So that is a hasty five power creature. I know with his hands mana confluence. Okay.

Tap that a bunch. Come on.

That is certainly a land right now.

Six. And then we can It's

Yeah, it still has six in hand.

Gavin, who do you think has the upper end right now?

You know, I think Jimmy definitely has the upper hand, but I want to root for Tor here. I really believe in the Fantastic Four. If All right, he's got a lot of faith. Got to get go the faith. The iron golem and the geode grotto. But I want to believe in the scrappy Fantastic 4. I like how Tom has played this game. I'm going to play it. Casting the Fantastic 4 one more time. It triggers itself. Let's flame on one more time, Jimmy. When it enters, flame on. We'll go to six.

Okay. And we'll pay one, two, three, and we're going to cast a six. And it has a toughness of

Uhhuh. So I am going to make a wall.

Yeah, I was going to say is it wall or card?

Oh, it's safety. Safety wall.

Safety wall.

All right, that's all I got. Pass it to you.

Now, notably six does have an important mechanic. It has the reach mechanic.

Oh, Monarch.

Monarch.

Oh, Monarch. Yeah. Okay. Put this away. D wrong draw a card. Aha. That's a good card.

Let's see if Jimmy can take it out this turn.

Now, the re the reachability on six is ironically it most important piece of texture amongst all those words. Letting you block the hasty Iron Man in the air and buying a turn if you need to. Then maybe try and finish them off with two forge drops or something like that. One on your turn, one on their turn. So, going to be very, very huge here. Let's see what Jimmy has. He's drew up to 10 cards with the 10 rings. We know we have some powerful cards in his hand. What can we pull off? I don't know about all of you guys out there, but I'm on pins and needles this game. It's been an incredible game of magic. Who out there has team Avengers right now in the whole room? Who's got team Avengers?

And who out there in the room believes in the Fantastic Four? Come on.

All right. Very close. Looks like a lot of other team members have defected to Tor's side here. We're going to see who takes it down. And it's really going to happen in the next one to either on really probably on Jimmy's turn or Tomer's turn. Let's see.

Tap for three mana and cast Breaches the blast maker.

Oh,

bless you.

Let's tap

six mana. Cast the invincible iron man.

That is my second spell each turn. When I cast my second spell, I may sacrifice an artifact and I flip a coin. If I win the flip, I copy that spell and I may choose new targets for the copy.

Legendary.

Isn't legendary?

Uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But I have to sacri artifact. When I lose the flip, breaches deals damage equal to that spell's mana value to any target.

That's not really lose the flip in that case.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, we'll see here. It's still very tight.

Well, this is [clears throat] a cube

sacrifice. Uh, yes. This is fascinating.

Certainly consequential. certainly consequential. So I'm going

here you actually want to deal the eight.

I want to deal the eight but actually it's six unfortunately because of iron man.

It's I copy this spell and then when I lo the flip it deals damage equal that.

Oh it's not the sacrifice artifact. It's okay. Got it. Got it.

Otherwise it would have been exact. So I'm going to sacrifice the 10 rings

and I'm going to flip a coin. I think it's one more time to do a little bit of cub in here.

All rightseence

cube of consequence everybody.

Okay. This may be the most consequential cube ever on Game Night's Live.

That's why they call it the cube of consequence. So if you win, you copy your commander and if you lose, I get to do six damage to something.

Consequ.

All right, so it's a 5050 split here, everybody. All right, Jimmy, choose three numbers that will be the sacrifice and deal damage.

I want to deal the damage. So, let's say 1, two, and three is I must I'll copy my commander and choose new targets for it. And four, five, and six. I will lose the flip and be able to deal six damage to any target.

Let's roll the cube.

Here we go.

Five.

All right, here we go.

All right, the audience batting that around. Here we go.

We're right into the Avengers section. This is pivoted over.

Uhoh.

All right, let's give it one more hit here.

Here we go. It's coming down.

And the number is

Okay.

Two.

Well, someone from my section kind of ruined it, but that's okay.

So, I don't get the direct damage, but I do get to copy my commander. So, and I have to Invincible Iron Man's going to copy. It will die the original one, but I'll just keep this out here for now. Let me grab a copy copy spell here.

You get to choose which one stays around.

Yeah, you can.

Yeah, I can choose which one stays around. I'll choose the original. So, the copy will just die. Thank you, G. [snorts]

So, sacrificing the 10 rings for nothing essentially.

Ouch.

Truly a consequential cube.

Shangi would not approve.

Shangi would not approve. But I'm going to go now to uh my combat step and I will activate or the invincible iron man's ability will happen.

Oh no.

So I'll put out the cosmic cube.

Oh no.

Another cube.

Turns out one good cube deserves another.

Oh no.

And I'm going to go to combat and I'm going to swing with the invincible Iron Man at you, Tor. And when I attack I get to look at the top six of my library. I may cast a spell from among them with mana value less than or equal to the greatest power among attacking creatures I control. That's going to be five. So, anything five or less.

So many free spells out of this thing. [snorts]

Anything good?

We got some things.

Just artifact things.

Six lands. Yeah,

six lands.

He doesn't play that many.

Four lands.

That'd be every land in the whole deck.

Yeah,

we're already seven. So, he's got

Also, we know he doesn't draw lands. Sword of fire.

Sword of fire. Nice. It doesn't come in. Uh, let's see.

Jimmy really wants either way to remove a creature or some kind of blocker here because you do not want to be defenseless against those creatures attacking you on Tor's side because once again, Jimmy sitting only at six life here. One cast of a four is a bunch of damage.

Oh,

into the flood m.

Yeah.

And I think I got to bounce the fantastic four here. Otherwise, Tor has the ability to play a spell on his turn, pass to me, and play another four mana instant and kill me.

Well, he could just play a spell and attack you, right?

Well, he doesn't have enough to attack me with. I have a three three blocker, and two four is his best attacker currently.

That's true.

So, unless he has a way to give the Fantastic Four haste, I think I have to bounce the four to his hand.

Wow.

Okay.

All right, Tor,

we're trying. Fantastic 4 team.

It's not the worst.

Lend me your energy.

Not bad.

Not the worst. Not the worst.

Yeah. I just wanted to have the cheer

damage.

Uh yeah. So this goes to my hand. Uh I will not block and I will take five commander damage.

Yep. Go to eight.

Yeah, the commander damage definitely going to matter at this point.

That's double four. That's kind of good.

I'll play an

Monarch.

Monarch.

Oh yes, my leash.

Thank you. I'll play an archway of Innovation as my land for turn. And then I will pass to you and draw for the Monarch. I do believe I have to discard. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Let's discard the brothers war.

Okay.

Okay.

Wow. It's down to the wire here, Ken. To it is

I think I have it.

I like Tor. You play your commander. You deal three to Jimmy and then if you have another four drop on Jimmy's turn, you can play it and deal the last three damage. Or if you can enhance that six at all, you can attack for two. Um, additionally, all the non-land permanent cards have retrace.

You know what? I think I think we GOT THIS.

UHOH.

UHOH. I think it would be fun if we had somebody from the team Fantastic 4 to help me with the finishing blow.

How about that? Does anybody want to deal a last damage?

Okay. Okay.

Well, the the audience has done every knockout.

I know we haven't done anything.

Yeah.

All right, we're going out to find someone that might be able to finish out the game.

Let's see if somebody's fantastic here.

Oh, here we go.

All right. All right.

This will be a first ever if we can have a audience knockout for all.

I thought it was appropriate.

All right. Hello.

What is your name?

Phillip.

And where are you from?

Hamburg, Germany.

All right, Phillip. I think we might have the victory here. So, we have a couple ways of doing this, but the most notable thing,

a couple ways. Oh, no. There's more

is six uh can get back this card which has haste and then

and then we also have removal.

Oh gosh.

Yeah.

Wow.

If you whisper it, they can't hear you.

So we could do that or

just wanted to bring somebody up to check

Fantastic 4.

Is this tricky? A lot of different ways here. What I mean

there is notably Jimmy's got one man up. Probably doesn't have anything, but you never know with that guy.

Thanks, Gavin. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, yeah. But he enters it immediately deals it.

Yeah, he can choose to deal the three with it as soon as he plays the fantastic.

But I would I would recommend I would recommend this.

Make sure you have enough mana as well.

Remove that and then this

to cast that and then you swing. And that's

it's the easiest way.

You want to bring to the bold strategy. Just wanted somebody to think his work.

Just wanted to put it.

Yeah, I I've made up enough works, right?

So, I needed a second opinion.

Do you see any holes in Right.

Yeah. You You don't

You You can do instant thing, but Okay, let's let's finish it right now.

That and then

Yeah,

how are you going to sequence it?

Yes.

He does have one man up. One mana up cast.

We don't play scared here. We just make them have it.

No creatur. Okay, let's start with we're retracing this.

We're discarding the misty rainforest for six's ability to cast a nonland permanent from our graveyard.

White. So, we have a red here for generic.

Yes.

Okay.

What are we casting?

Shaman of the great hunt.

Okay.

Has a power of four, but it also has haze.

Commander. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Going for damage on the ground.

He's got enough left for the commander.

That's right.

Okay.

Second,

four mana. [snorts]

Four mana.

Lose one from the end of confidence. Go a seven.

Bronze back for

Yes.

Which has an ETB saying uh for each opponent, which is you exile up to one target nonland permanent that player controls

the cosmic cube. Of course,

until it has ward. I think you can even target it.

What are you going to target?

Yeah, [screaming]

Jimmy,

it's exiled.

All right, there's one last step we have to do.

Okay, may I would go to the combat step?

You will go to

and luckily the shaman has haste.

Yes.

And we have six as well.

Yeah.

So, into the red zone they go.

All right. Here we go. Attacking for six. Jimmy's life total is six. He has one. Six coming in with

Does he have it? Does he have it?

Oh, no. He's stopping.

Gonna go.

Oh, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Trigger on six, right?

Oh, yes. Which is three cards, right?

On six to three cards.

Unlikely to be.

And we do have a land card or two actually. We can have a preference

just in case. Oh, whichever you like.

Yeah. Yeah.

Mountain. Mountain. Of course, it's Jimmy. So, mountain.

Jimmy. I

Jimmy

got my archway of Innovation. I'm going to go ahead and tap it for a blue.

Yeah. Oh, no. And die. [screaming]

I'm going to go ahead and shuffle.

Good job.

WELL DONE.

KNOCK OUT EXACT.

And then, of course, let's hear it for Jamie Block and Jake Boss up here producers.

THIS SHOW WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE HARD WORK FROM THESE TWO, EVERYBODY.

They do the most work on the show by far.

They are our favorites here, of course. And Saturday and Sunday, we do have meet and greets. You can meet myself, Josh, and Rachel on Saturday and Josh and myself on Sunday. You have to get a wristband for that. Make sure you show up early. They do go out pretty quickly.

But it'll be 11:00 a.m. uh in the meet and greets area. And then of course right after this show, there's a big preview panel where Wizards is revealing a lot of the stuff that's happening in Magic next year. So you already have really good seats. Should probably just stick around.

Yeah, it's going to be one of the best panels of the weekend. So

there's some really exciting stuff for sure.

Yeah. All right, everyone. Thank you so much for coming out Amsterdam. You've been amazing. [screaming] Thank you, Amsterdam. Peace. All right.

Yay.

Congrats to Tor.

That was fantastic. Aha. We've done it. What a game. So fun.

Every single player was knocked out by a fan. That's great. That's never happened before.

Sick. It was so fun. I when when I brought the guest up on stage, they couldn't see the table. It was too high.

And I was like, "Okay, we need Okay, new plan. Booster step on the stage." Luckily, they knew exactly where they're going to go without the table. Yeah. Kill Josh.

As soon as I saw him, I was like, I'm dead.

I know. That's why I always

If it was If it was an adult, I might have had a chance. No chance. As soon as I saw you guys, she went for the kid.

It's very fun.

If you'd like to maybe be pulled up on stage during one of the game nights live performances. Well, your shot is coming right up.

Mhm.

Yeah. November 13th to the 15th is Magic Con Atlanta. We are going to be there with our whole squad. We're going to be doing game nights live on the main stage. That is on Friday, November 13th. Make sure that you secure your badge for the event as soon as you can.

Yeah. Really, really, you should get that in hand now so you can plan your trip around it. But these things do sell out because they're awesome. And you know, if Atlanta is in your region or is not, we would really love to see you there. See some new faces or some old faces that we've seen at cons around the world.

Yeah. And we'll be there the entire weekend. So, the show Game Night Live is on the 13th, but Saturday and Sunday the 14th and 15th, we will be doing meet and greets and we'll be in the hall and you know, Rachel will be buying all the jackets that there are, all the apparel that she can find. And then, of course, yeah, we'll be playing in events and hanging out. So, we'd love to see you. Come say hi. But again, make sure you secure those badges as soon as you can if you want to go because they do sell out. We do have an affiliate link which is mtg.social/mcatlk. That link will be in the show notes if you didn't memorize it just now because it's a lot of letters.

Catalogical.

Go there.

Go there. Go there.

All right. Before we go, a big shout out to our sponsors. Card kingdom.com/command. That is the place to go to get your Magic product singles, anything at all. If you're building a brand new deck around the Hobbit or Reality Fracture will be just around the corner when you're hearing this. or if you're still, you know, catching up like I am on anything from the past. Card Kingdom has the card you're looking for in the condition you're looking for in the version that you're looking for. They have a huge inventory and they make the deck purchasing process the smoothest and simplest as anybody in the business. They have their advanced deck builder which means you can just copy and paste the entire deck into one box and then you just hit check out, package comes all in one package. All the cards are there. You add the land, you play. So, if you're like me and you're impatient and you like convenience, card kingdom.com/comand that they're for you.

And once you have that deck in your hands, go to ultraro.com/comand to get all of the accessories you need to keep it organized, safe, and protected. You need a deck box, you need sleeves, a playmat, a binder. You can get everything at Ultrao and you know it's going to be high quality. We talked about the eclipse sleeves. They're so great. Honestly, every time I picked them up and I shuffle with them, I was like, "These are the eclipses, right? They're nice."

So, if you like solid color sleeves, Eclipse sleeves are for you. If you like art sleeves, check out the Apex sleeves. Those are their art sleeves line. I just picked up a couple of one-touch edge frames.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Because when we go to Magicons, I will occasionally splurge on a proof. So, I'll put it in a frame and put it on the shelf and turn it into a nice little momento. So, if you like going to events and you've got some very special cards for you, check out the OneTouch Edge as well. It's really nice again at ultpro.com/command.

That's awesome. Okay. Well, thanks for watching and hopefully we'll see a bunch of you in Atlanta. And if not, we'll just see you on the next video.

All right. Bye.

Peace.
