The Magic Show - Dark Ascension Review (White)

[wooduu]

@Guitarshock I just won with it yesterday by it gaining 42 life and making it impossible to lose. Don't be so narrow with card evaluation. Every card has a place in a deck it just may not be your deck or a good match up against every deck.

[516stu]

ITS BACK

[timbarnes28]

@criddell86 lol i was thinking the same thing.

[ParadigmShiftr]

All Hail Thalia, the Guardian of Thraben!

She just won me an FNM. Love her to death.

[criddell86]

Is it too much to ask for the card on the screen while you are talking about it? My goldfish brain can't hold a card's abilities in it while you talk about it. . . and I don't want to constantly switch to gatherer while watching too.

[zephyroth6969]

A friend and I are wondering about Elbrus, the Binding Blade / Withengar Unbound. The question, does Withengar get the +13/+13 counters when a Plainswalker dies? We are not sure since spells that can target players can also target plainswalkers, but does that mean a plainswalker technically counts as a player?

[Thror251]

@zephyroth6969

It says Player not planeswalker so it wont work

[G4m3Wiz4rd]

Thalia + Grand Abolisher = Control decks nightmare

Thraben Doomsayer + Champion of the Parish in a human deck = Aggro as hell

My human deck cant wait for this set.

[SlowDaddie]

great vid love watching your set reviews! one suggestion: could you please leave up the image of the card a few seconds longer?

[keyes53ljh]

honestly RDW is always the best deck at the beginning of sets

[keyes53ljh]

whree is the rest of the colors? you guys like talking about blue and white...

[DarkTenka]

Todd Anderson was a good anti to Gerry Thompson .. completing the formula for best review team EVAR!

[keyblader007]

I love Set reviews glad you came back to do them!

[jazb0mb]

the magic show...having bad haircuts...so you don't have to...

[Zspear234]

Midnight Guard is another combo you could use with Havengul Lich. Midnight Guard plus Bloodline Keeper= Infinite 2/2 flyers!!!!!

[MrPhoenixab]

Thalia is one of my favourite creatures of the block. If only Human decks didn't play so many non-creature spells.

[woshi15]

Phyrexian Unlife + Fateful Hour= Boom

[NightfallGemini]

What the heck is the intro song? Who does it? I've been trying to figure that out.

[xXANBUShinobiXx]

I pulled a Sudden Disappearance today in the pre-release, it was absolutely amazing after i played gather the townsfolk with fateful hour, and had a saint traft on the field as well.

[AJSXenigma]

Watched this video just to see the reaction to Archangel's Light. There's surely an interesting story behind that one, but until WotC tells us that story, it's just kinda hilarious.

[ParadigmShiftr]

@AJSXenigma Think about it. A mill deck is raping you until you bleed, but you build up enough mana to play Archangel's light, then when your Library's down to 4 cards you play it. Boom.

[DayInDaLife]

What kind of fag dyes his hair? You and 12 year old girls.

[rockerravers]

Oh wow, after that top comments, PUM 2 ipads! take that! channelfireball! (just kidding we can watch 2 channels, it doesnt have to be a competition)

[Nightwing690]

is curse of exhaustion the answer to wolf run ramp?

[PoketoMtg]

Could Seance be useful in a birthingpod list?

[sticksville]

@PoketoMtg Nope because the token would have a CMC of 0

[DJBranden]

ok turn one ill pay 16 life to do nothing! go!

oh... you had 4 gut shots.... DAMIT!

[DJBranden]

i dont know why anybody would skip the intros, they are awesome!

[Brodaddy1000]

Anyone who casts a forbidden alchemy for 4 mana on turn 4-5 is not gonna be too happy about it.. thrabia is awesome! I'm getting tired of playing against islans that never taps until my endstep..lol

[ximbabwe0228]

gerry looks so tiny

[lokenwow]

sudden Disappearance your board.... use my sundial of infinite.... watch my opponent cry?

[Ajani186]

@lokenwow How does that work?

[lokenwow]

@Ajani186 the sundial ends the turn without an end step so the trigger never happens. same thing with a lot of cards.

[MTGcraZe]

@lokenwow I WANT TO DO THAT SO BAD. That's a one side board wipe

[durentis]

@lokenwow Yes, but keep in mind that timing is everything. Sundial in your main phase and your opponent's permanents come back at the beginning of your opponent's next end step. Sundial in your end step after the Sudden Disappearance's delayed trigger goes on the stack but before it resolves to return your opponent's permanents and the permanents are exiled permanently. (Because delayed triggers must occur but only once.)

[onthespotmagic9682]

I remember when i was able to watch a new magic show everyday...

[Internalthorn]

@onthespotmagic9682 hey what's wrong with this counter, I got +49 thumbs and not in top??

[DanTheWarder]

Always enjoy this magic show, you just need to make more of them :D

[Relmfig]

Gerry looks like Justin Timberlake circa 1999

[dedrat013]

Gerry, your hair is incredibly unflattering

[MrKaiizenn]

Bad green screen o_O

[allstarjason]

"I haven't seen a spalshable angel in 6 years". What did you forget about Angel of Flight Alabaster in just the last set?

[kgesme21]

I see you guys picked up those iPads there. *cough*channelfireball*cough*

[smpxix]

Jesus, leave the card up a bit longer!

[Relatharr]

@smpxix Don't worry. ChannelFireball will most likely make a superior review series compared to this one.

[beltran13579]

F*CK TODD ANDERSON

[MrFreak0r]

that todd guy seems to be an ok guy. although im not a huge fan of his hairstyle, but thats offtopic.

swell vid by the way.

[bronzong91]

get a haircut todd. you look like a a 13 year old hispanic nerd

[TempestDacine]

Gerry seems to have lightened up from the innistrad review...and he's really smart. Very pleasant to hear. Too bad he's mostly in premium SCG, not worth the cash sorry.

[bronzong91]

intro is gash, get rid of it

[dragoon0248]

You need a new logo...It doesn't fit to the style of the rest of the show.

[tigertamer14]

"yeah i mean if you just, attach it to your opponent i mean their, ya know, restricted to one card per turn where as you're not..." wow todd anderson is a huge asset to the team. Okay I get it, he can play one deck type over and over until he is proficient, or come out of the blue with a bad nissa deck no one was prepared for. But he really lacks solid game knowledge and mechanics.

[wooduu]

I find you're comments a bit narrow at times. I see Archangel as a gain 30-40 in a self mill deck. How is this bad? I stopped watching there.

[Guitarshock]

@wooduu But if you're playing a self mill deck, that's your strategy. Shuffling your gy back into your deck defeats the point.

[Guitarshock]

@wooduu Also, it doesn't help you win.

[VladdViever]

I see you got the iPads like Channel Fireball =P

Nice job guys.

[Spetaelsk]

No I always liked the fatties! /cry

[twitchster77]

IS IT MONDAY YET? IS IT? IS IT? IS IT?

[IlGreven]

Archangel's Light seems so much like a setup for Avacyn Restored. Can't quite put my finger on what...maybe there's a library matters theme. That would also explain why Grafdigger's Cage stops stuff from libraries, too.

[persistanticon]

Gerry, stop bleaching your hair.

[jump4h]

THE MAGIC SHOW!!!!

[supernautistaken]

i think if i were to play fateful hour cards in constructed they would need to hold their own when ignoring the fateful hour ability, beating yourself to within an inch of death seems like a risky tactic in all but the most masochistic zombie decks (shepherd of rot)

[Anergyne]

@supernautistaken When I first saw the Fateful Hour mechanic, I thought it was there for 'oh shit' moments; the kind of situations where you're about to lose a game and can use every advantage you can get.

Beating yourself to within an inch of death seems... dangerous, more than anything. There's so much that can go wrong (like a single lava axe). Then again, I'm no expert.

[supernautistaken]

@Anergyne yeah I think we're making the same point here, just imo there wouldn't be a good enough reason to play a card for its fateful hour unless the card is playable without it

[ThaDoctor17]

They didn't talk about it dying to Gut Shot... who cares if it costs 1 if she's dead.

[Nyzzeh]

you really should put the card more time, or all the time you are talking about it.

[geekyfrans]

conq's pledge was 5 mana for 6 1/1's

[LiangHuBBB]

The new cards are awesome.

[Quiestre]

They should have made Sanctuary cat better.

Because c'mon it has a really badass artwork

[necrofeo]

who invited justin bieber lol, anyway great video as always

[henryaudubon]

Four. Dudes. Seriously.

[Boozeandmadness0]

The old Gerry T. was much better, he used to say only the truth about the cards.

[j0k3r2k]

How can Lingering Soul be the best card in the set...?

Its just FOUR DUDES!

[MoonWithNipples]

@j0k3r2k Four FLYING dudes that can get pumped by a honor of the pure.

[LowFlyinGoose]

Herd an awful lot of elves...... So much love for my favorite deck :D

[smit1000]

I always love the fatties

[Northernhail]

i will hunt down the one person who disliked this video

jokes :)

[vovoursa]

@Northernhail i WILL actually hunt down the one person who disliked the video and this is NO JOKE

[aquamanlikesmen]

why isn't bone hoard getting any love

[ThresholdFixation]

Is it me or does Thraben Doomsayer look a little like Liam Neeson?

[Dahajda]

Brb, getting some Innastrad packs.

[BigAssGameBoard]

So bowl blond and bald

[polleyb6838]

@BigAssGameBoard sadly the bald looks best lol

[xtxoxpxd]

@BigAssGameBoard you know the simpsons where malibu stacy is trying to figure out whose hair to mimic? yeah..

"you all have hideous hair!"

[DariusKnightshade]

@BigAssGameBoard too bad the blonde talks out his asshole

[wormer104]

The hell is up with the Trump Hairdo? :/

[Internalthorn]

You guys do the best magic news and you should always do reviews together.

Seems like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben rules here.

[landsharkluigi]

The Magic Show has ipads. ChannelFireball's turn.

[EStarke]

@landsharkluigi TSG has been using an ipad for MTV since Christmas.

[Hef654]

@landsharkluigi I say naked women and fire

[landsharkluigi]

@Hef654 Wine, Women, and Food for everyone!

[jhaw1096]

[ttzz2003]

[Rakunya]

Weird hearing mention of BBD and his Squires; went to school with him and used to play FNM with him a lot.

[terakahn]

new outro? =(

[KingWhoShallReturn]

Under 300 club?

[MrKingmeplz]

[Darklurkr]

I thought the MS was canceled?

[maxiewawa]

You guys need to buy Gerry an iPad

[zielle]

[stillkronzilla]

Good player and all but yakkity yak yak yak yak

[stillkronzilla]

quite dissappointed to see todd anderson in this. UGH :(

[jwish827]

Guy on the left shouldn't look at the camera as much. Also good to see Gerry more enthusiastic and positive about new cards than he was for Innistrad

[zbvm]

Peroxide @_@

[GabeDBrazillionaire]

Once you go White, stuff's alright.

[DrakwindOfDryWater]

@GabeDBrazillionaire black an blue screw you, blue and white stuff's alright
