You should show Rarren combo cards (all the cards needed for a combo) and see if he can figure it out and rate the combo powerlevel. :)

- Mesa falcon guy, probably.

The best part about cards like Golgari grave troll is that a high dredge value was seen as a negative by the design team, when really it was the opposite, so the best cards had a high dredge cost on them

I was hoping CGB would have told Raran that Doubling Season stacked. That's always a hilarious thing to see people realize.

Also, the "Egg Guy" in Dark Confidant's an Orzhov guild member. The Orzhov Syndicate is Ravnica's official church and bank. Also, both institutions are known for having older people in charge, so Orzhov higher-ups are like old people squared. The high-ranking members use magic to prolong their lives, but it doesn't prolong their youth. They often end up having large flaps of skin, resulting in Egg Man.

Mesa Falcon Guy and RawrXD are my favorite card game duo

“It’s not even magic, it plays like a completely different game” “YugiOh” lmao Rarran gets it!

The moment the dragon appeared on screen I was waiting for Rarren to remember Leeroy Jenkins

I think one thing Rarran might be missing is that getting to 9 or 10 mana in Magic is a lot harder than it is in hearthstone. Even if a game goes very long, there's a reasonable likelihood that you will never draw 9 lands by the end of the game. The curve for competitive decks pretty much stops around 7, unless you have ways to cheat things into play (and Blazing Archon is actually quite a good card in other formats where you can cheat it into play).

I remember a time when all these guild names were cryptic words to me and I never realized that English Magic players used the guild/factions to substitute for color combinations. Now I’ve no clue how I remembered the names for all of them, it’s so weird

As soon as rarran asked who that big ass dude in the background was I knew he was looking at dark confidant. I wish reprints of confident included that guy in the art

Fight-or-flight kicked in when I heard Rarran call out Golgari Grave-Troll before it showed up on screen. That card could cost like 15 and have no text other than Dredge 6 and still be bonkers.

I was slurping when Ravnica introduced me to magic, and I am slurping today.
No gulper will come between me and my beverages!

@MainTopmastStaysail 2 years ago

It's worth mentioning that Vitu-Ghazi sees no play anywhere anymore (mostly because better lands that make 1/1s have been printed), while Sunhome still sees play because it ends games with Primeval Titan.

@GamePlayMetal 2 years ago

I think that the number one thing that Rarran is really underestimating in these reviews, is how much harder it is to play expensive cards in Mtg compared to Hearthstone. You don't have to worry about lands in HS and you steadily gain mana without having to care about that at all

As a non-Magic player, it seems like Dimir Cutpurse's immediate fall off after one moment of glory probably had to do with the fact that it HAS to attack to get its effect, it's not a flying creature, and Magic was entering a more board-centric era, making it a lot harder to land the Cutpurse? While Confidant can just SIT THERE to get its effect.
