00:00:57.41000:00:57.420 weirdest things in magic this episode 00:00:59.42000:00:59.430 range from vehicles piloting other 00:01:01.16000:01:01.170 vehicles to a bunch of flying squirrels 00:01:02.95900:01:02.969 taking down a merkel many of you seem to 00:01:04.91000:01:04.920 enjoy that so if you haven't seen it yet 00:01:06.44000:01:06.450 go ahead and check it out and today I 00:01:08.06000:01:08.070 thought I'd tackle even more of the 00:01:09.41000:01:09.420 weirdest things in magic magic has been 00:01:11.42000:01:11.430 around for a long time and with the 00:01:12.67900:01:12.689 amount of cards and mechanics that are 00:01:14.03000:01:14.040 in this game there are bound to be some 00:01:15.35000:01:15.360 things that just don't make sense when 00:01:16.99900:01:17.009 you think about it again there's nothing 00:01:18.20000:01:18.210 really wrong with these things not 00:01:19.52000:01:19.530 making complete sense but when you take 00:01:21.32000:01:21.330 a step back it's just pretty funny to 00:01:22.76000:01:22.770 think about anyways let's start with our 00:01:26.78000:01:26.790 first weird thing in magic which I'm 00:01:28.16000:01:28.170 calling stop horsing around and this 00:01:30.38000:01:30.390 weird thing involves horsemanship so 00:01:31.91000:01:31.920 let's take a look at lujon horsemanship 00:01:33.56000:01:33.570 is a form of evasion and it basically 00:01:35.12000:01:35.130 means that this creature can't be 00:01:36.31900:01:36.329 blocked except by other creatures that 00:01:37.76000:01:37.770 have horsemanship so it kind of makes 00:01:39.56000:01:39.570 sense if someone's on a horse they're 00:01:40.94000:01:40.950 harder to catch and harder to block so 00:01:42.53000:01:42.540 they can get through it's like flying in 00:01:44.30000:01:44.310 a way that a creature that has flying 00:01:45.44000:01:45.450 could fly over the other creatures and 00:01:47.09000:01:47.100 only be blocked by their creatures are 00:01:48.31900:01:48.329 flying well or reach but whatever okay 00:01:50.81000:01:50.820 now I know this is a pretty old ability 00:01:52.78900:01:52.799 and it's kind of dated but it's still 00:01:54.59000:01:54.600 funny anything about so this devoted 00:01:56.20900:01:56.219 hero would not be able to stop this 00:01:57.46900:01:57.479 person on a horse from getting through 00:01:58.73000:01:58.740 now at a base level that can make sense 00:02:01.06900:02:01.079 but things can get a bit weirdly further 00:02:03.23000:02:03.240 along you go wall of stone does not have 00:02:05.45000:02:05.460 horsemanship so therefore it cannot 00:02:07.13000:02:07.140 block Lujan so even if this horse is 00:02:09.16900:02:09.179 really good at scaling walls or can run 00:02:11.02900:02:11.039 fast enough to go all the way around the 00:02:12.65000:02:12.660 wall to then get to the 00:02:14.05900:02:14.069 okay so that doesn't really make too 00:02:15.61900:02:15.629 much sense but what about faith bear 00:02:17.36000:02:17.370 paladin it's on a horse can it block 00:02:19.19000:02:19.200 well apparently it doesn't have 00:02:20.42000:02:20.430 horsemanship so it therefore must not be 00:02:22.22000:02:22.230 as good riding that horse so it can't 00:02:23.78000:02:23.790 block how about this Knight that's 00:02:25.33900:02:25.349 literally on a horse that's on fire it's 00:02:27.19900:02:27.209 got to be fast right 00:02:28.16000:02:28.170 apparently not fast enough to block even 00:02:30.41000:02:30.420 this horse that's literally made out of 00:02:32.08900:02:32.099 lightning Kenna block I guess it can't 00:02:34.16000:02:34.170 be blocked by the other one either since 00:02:35.59900:02:35.609 it's blue creature but whatever how 00:02:38.14900:02:38.159 about this centaur it's a half man half 00:02:39.92000:02:39.930 horse no okay 00:02:41.50900:02:41.519 what about this giant that has 100 hands 00:02:43.55000:02:43.560 and literally shows a picture of it 00:02:45.02000:02:45.030 blocking a person on a horse 00:02:46.55000:02:46.560 nope apparently horsemanship gets you 00:02:48.34900:02:48.359 through so yes horsemanship is a pretty 00:02:50.24000:02:50.250 weird form of Asian when you actually 00:02:51.83000:02:51.840 think about it but you know what's even 00:02:53.20900:02:53.219 weirder 00:02:53.56900:02:53.579 Taoist mystic because it can't be 00:02:55.67000:02:55.680 blocked by creatures that have 00:02:56.86900:02:56.879 horsemanship for some reason if you're 00:02:58.75900:02:58.769 on a horse you've got a disadvantage 00:03:00.40900:03:00.419 when it comes to trying to block this so 00:03:02.14900:03:02.159 just try to wrap your head around that 00:03:03.25900:03:03.269 and one more thing about horsemanship 00:03:04.93900:03:04.949 there are some cards that give 00:03:06.25900:03:06.269 horsemanship so just try to picture a 00:03:07.69900:03:07.709 world's fine worm on a horse it's pretty 00:03:09.55900:03:09.569 funny to think about but anyways let's 00:03:11.20900:03:11.219 move on to our next weird thing in magic 00:03:12.67900:03:12.689 with shadow of a doubt and with this one 00:03:14.33000:03:14.340 we're gonna talk about another old form 00:03:15.64900:03:15.659 of Asian with shadow so shadow basically 00:03:17.89900:03:17.909 means that this creature can block or be 00:03:19.28000:03:19.290 blocked by only creatures of a shadow so 00:03:21.31900:03:21.329 really they're kind of in their own 00:03:22.21900:03:22.229 world attacking and blocking each other 00:03:23.78000:03:23.790 but similar to horsemanship there are 00:03:25.36900:03:25.379 some things that get weird with this 00:03:26.62900:03:26.639 though creatures that seem like they 00:03:28.09900:03:28.109 could block them still can't because 00:03:29.83900:03:29.849 they don't have shadow like Nezumi 00:03:31.36900:03:31.379 shadow watcher which if it's name is 00:03:33.17000:03:33.180 correct is a rat that watches shadows so 00:03:35.78000:03:35.790 I guess it just watches the shadows but 00:03:37.42900:03:37.439 it can't interact how about perla shadow 00:03:39.58900:03:39.599 of course that's got to have shadow 00:03:41.03000:03:41.040 right shadows in its name nope no shadow 00:03:43.33900:03:43.349 can I block even death shadow which is 00:03:45.92000:03:45.930 the shadow of death does not have shadow 00:03:48.22900:03:48.239 now shadow like horsemanship is a very 00:03:50.30000:03:50.310 old form of evasion and you can see that 00:03:52.09900:03:52.109 they've cut down on those strange and 00:03:53.89900:03:53.909 different circumstances when it comes to 00:03:55.36900:03:55.379 creatures not be able to be blocked 00:03:56.39000:03:56.400 Cilla's find actually take a step back 00:03:58.28000:03:58.290 and think about those weirded wonky 00:03:59.71900:03:59.729 circumstances that can actually happen 00:04:01.06900:04:01.079 in a game my creatures on a horse and 00:04:02.80900:04:02.819 has horsemanship so your creature on a 00:04:04.36900:04:04.379 horse that doesn't have horsemanship 00:04:05.44900:04:05.459 can't block it where my creature that 00:04:07.09900:04:07.109 has shadow can't be blocked by your 00:04:08.47900:04:08.489 shadow because your shadow doesn't have 00:04:09.80000:04:09.810 shadow anyways let's move on to our next 00:04:11.56900:04:11.579 weird thing was today is obstet a and 00:04:13.87900:04:13.889 this one has to do with milling the term 00:04:15.58900:04:15.599 milling comes from millstone which 00:04:16.75900:04:16.769 essentially means that you make someone 00:04:17.95900:04:17.969 take cards up atop their library and put 00:04:19.61000:04:19.620 them into their graveyard if you're 00:04:20.99000:04:21.000 trying to build someone out that means 00:04:22.09900:04:22.109 that you're trying to get rid of their 00:04:22.96900:04:22.979 entire library so they can't draw any 00:04:24.62000:04:24.630 more cards and when that happens they 00:04:26.12000:04:26.130 lose the game 00:04:27.16000:04:27.170 seeing the game because you can't draw a 00:04:28.45000:04:28.460 card kind of makes sense in a similar 00:04:30.13000:04:30.140 way to losing the game when you have no 00:04:31.60000:04:31.610 life no more knowledge or resources for 00:04:33.55000:04:33.560 your mind and you lose so flavor-wise 00:04:35.71000:04:35.720 that one checks out but recently there's 00:04:38.23000:04:38.240 been a trend to make decks with a 00:04:39.58000:04:39.590 different kind of way of winning and 00:04:41.14000:04:41.150 that's because of cards like laboratory 00:04:42.58000:04:42.590 maniac and Jace wielder mysteries 00:04:44.65000:04:44.660 both of these essentially say if you 00:04:46.15000:04:46.160 would draw card while your library has 00:04:47.41000:04:47.420 no cards in it you win the game instead 00:04:49.03000:04:49.040 or in a simpler way they're pretty much 00:04:50.77000:04:50.780 just yelling it's opposite day it's kind 00:04:53.20000:04:53.210 of like a kid screaming that they won 00:04:54.70000:04:54.710 even though they lost and therefore 00:04:56.50000:04:56.510 they're right there justification is 00:04:58.09000:04:58.100 pretty much its opposite day and so 00:04:59.80000:04:59.810 therefore because I lost I won the 00:05:02.14000:05:02.150 reason that they wanted really doesn't 00:05:03.22000:05:03.230 make any sense but we'll just go with it 00:05:05.23000:05:05.240 in a similar way let's move on to our 00:05:06.85000:05:06.860 next weird thing with health fanatic 00:05:08.65000:05:08.660 another alternative wing condition comes 00:05:10.48000:05:10.490 with these similar cards felled or 00:05:11.74000:05:11.750 sovereign in test of endurance filled 00:05:13.57000:05:13.580 our sovereign says it begins your upkeep 00:05:15.13000:05:15.140 if you have 40 more life you win the 00:05:16.57000:05:16.580 game in test of endurance is the exact 00:05:18.25000:05:18.260 same but it's 50 or more life so instead 00:05:19.96000:05:19.970 of getting your pawns life tolls down 00:05:21.16000:05:21.170 you with either keep yours up or get 00:05:22.63000:05:22.640 yours up further this is kind of just 00:05:24.43000:05:24.440 like hey I'm really healthy therefore I 00:05:26.35000:05:26.360 win when you actually stop and think 00:05:28.21000:05:28.220 about it that doesn't really make any 00:05:29.50000:05:29.510 sense 00:05:30.07000:05:30.080 alternative wind conditions or lost 00:05:31.69000:05:31.700 conditions for the most part just really 00:05:33.31000:05:33.320 don't make any sense if that definite 00:05:34.93000:05:34.940 doesn't mean that they're not fun or 00:05:35.95000:05:35.960 don't have a place in the game it's just 00:05:37.30000:05:37.310 that when you stop and think about it 00:05:38.50000:05:38.510 and take a step back it doesn't make 00:05:40.84000:05:40.850 sense as to why you win in that fashion 00:05:42.28000:05:42.290 let's move on to something completely 00:05:43.93000:05:43.940 different though is something that I'm 00:05:45.01000:05:45.020 calling to pilot or to autopilot this 00:05:47.62000:05:47.630 one involves car in silver gold which is 00:05:49.30000:05:49.310 a very famous character in magic now 00:05:51.10000:05:51.110 there are other cards that work in a 00:05:52.27000:05:52.280 similar way but let's just go with this 00:05:53.62000:05:53.630 one card has pay one target none 00:05:55.63000:05:55.640 creature artifact becomes an artifact 00:05:57.25000:05:57.260 creature with power and toughness equal 00:05:58.54000:05:58.550 to its converted mana cost until end of 00:05:59.98000:05:59.990 turn so in a way this is pretty cool 00:06:01.66000:06:01.670 it's like hey you're an artifact but 00:06:03.28000:06:03.290 you're not living let me turn you into a 00:06:04.87000:06:04.880 living creature that can go around an 00:06:06.52000:06:06.530 attack or block so something like ash 00:06:08.32000:06:08.330 not Psalter can get up and walk around 00:06:09.88000:06:09.890 or I can actually sacrifice itself to 00:06:12.40000:06:12.410 itself whatever it's cool but where this 00:06:15.19000:06:15.200 especially gets weird is with vehicles 00:06:16.78000:06:16.790 we've talked about vehicles before and 00:06:18.34000:06:18.350 they're pretty cool but they can work in 00:06:19.69000:06:19.700 some strange ways that are kind of weird 00:06:21.97000:06:21.980 so consulate dreadnought costs one mana 00:06:24.01000:06:24.020 it has crew six and it's a 7/11 so Karn 00:06:26.65000:06:26.660 can't crew this but if another creatures 00:06:28.42000:06:28.430 around they can crew it it's a 7-eleven 00:06:30.31000:06:30.320 that can attack and block but if it's 00:06:31.90000:06:31.910 not crewed Karn can't crew it but he can 00:06:34.24000:06:34.250 turn into a creature by paying one but 00:06:36.40000:06:36.410 instead of it being a 7/11 it's gonna be 00:06:38.83000:06:38.840 a 1/1 because corn makes its power in 00:06:41.02000:06:41.030 toughness equal to its converted mana 00:06:42.22000:06:42.230 cost until the end of the turn so pretty 00:06:43.93000:06:43.940 much ignore that bottom right portion 00:06:45.37000:06:45.380 that 7/11 really doesn't mean anything 00:06:46.99000:06:47.000 it's just a 1/1 for the turn 00:06:48.79000:06:48.800 I guess this kind of makes sense in a 00:06:50.50000:06:50.510 way if someone's actually piloting the 00:06:52.06000:06:52.070 ship it's gonna be a little more 00:06:53.08000:06:53.090 effective and be that 7/11 but when 00:06:55.21000:06:55.220 carne basically turns it on autopilot 00:06:56.71000:06:56.720 it's just roaming around on its own and 00:06:58.66000:06:58.670 it's just a 1/1 but this kind of works 00:07:00.76000:07:00.770 in the opposite ways well we look at 00:07:02.14000:07:02.150 something like poor Hellion 2 now the 00:07:03.82000:07:03.830 part Hellion to actually has crew 4 so 00:07:05.62000:07:05.630 carne can actually pilot this one so 00:07:07.66000:07:07.670 what he does that it's pretty powerful 00:07:08.74000:07:08.750 it's a 5/5 flying first strike vigilance 00:07:10.96000:07:10.970 and winning at tanks you create 2 for 4 00:07:12.49000:07:12.500 white angel creature tokens with flying 00:07:13.84000:07:13.850 and vigilance that are attacking but 00:07:15.28000:07:15.290 instead of actually crewing it kourin 00:07:17.02000:07:17.030 can just pay one and it's even more 00:07:18.34000:07:18.350 effective because instead of being a 5/5 00:07:20.35000:07:20.360 it's an eight eight with all those same 00:07:22.18000:07:22.190 abilities so for whatever reason carne 00:07:24.10000:07:24.110 driving this one around is less 00:07:25.57000:07:25.580 effective than this one being on 00:07:26.77000:07:26.780 autopilot again vehicles while cool can 00:07:29.65000:07:29.660 be really weird in a lot of 00:07:30.82000:07:30.830 circumstances let's move away from 00:07:32.47000:07:32.480 vehicle zone onto our next one with when 00:07:34.30000:07:34.310 you wish upon a card now this one's only 00:07:36.25000:07:36.260 weird in commander but because as a 00:07:37.48000:07:37.490 commander channel I think it's still 00:07:38.77000:07:38.780 funny to point out this one deals with 00:07:40.51000:07:40.520 the cycle known is the wish cycle with 00:07:42.31000:07:42.320 each of these you're basically making a 00:07:43.69000:07:43.700 wish to get a card that you own from 00:07:45.04000:07:45.050 outside of the game for example living 00:07:46.78000:07:46.790 wish gets you either a creature or land 00:07:48.28000:07:48.290 the amounts of the game you reveal it 00:07:49.66000:07:49.670 you put your hand then you X out living 00:07:50.98000:07:50.990 wish now other formats have a sideboard 00:07:53.14000:07:53.150 so this makes sense you're gonna get 00:07:54.43000:07:54.440 that card and put your hand commander 00:07:56.02000:07:56.030 does not have a sideboard so when you 00:07:57.67000:07:57.680 cast one of these it basically does 00:07:59.47000:07:59.480 nothing these cards are 100% legal and 00:08:01.69000:08:01.700 yet completely meaningless in commander 00:08:03.64000:08:03.650 it's essentially just a wish that goes 00:08:05.59000:08:05.600 unanswered which is just kind of sad 00:08:07.66000:08:07.670 there are a few other cards that refer 00:08:09.13000:08:09.140 to outside the game as well like spawn 00:08:10.57000:08:10.580 sire villa MOG it has pay 20 cast any 00:08:12.82000:08:12.830 number of Eldrazi cards you own from 00:08:14.17000:08:14.180 outside of the game without paying their 00:08:15.16000:08:15.170 mana cost again if you pay that 20 in 00:08:16.90000:08:16.910 commander nothing happens so essentially 00:08:19.15000:08:19.160 picture this you've got sponsor and it's 00:08:21.61000:08:21.620 like hey my friends are coming you 00:08:23.35000:08:23.360 better watch out they're gonna be here 00:08:24.73000:08:24.740 soon 00:08:25.18000:08:25.190 and then just waiting awkwardly for a 00:08:26.86000:08:26.870 bit and none of sponsors friends end up 00:08:28.87000:08:28.880 showing up and everyone feels really 00:08:30.64000:08:30.650 weird about it and they feel bad but 00:08:32.71000:08:32.720 let's move on from that sad scene to our 00:08:34.27000:08:34.280 next one with a big stretch of land this 00:08:36.16000:08:36.170 weird thing has to do with lands let's 00:08:38.05000:08:38.060 take a look at this island from eighth 00:08:39.25000:08:39.260 edition it definitely looks like an 00:08:40.72000:08:40.730 island makes sense it says island it's a 00:08:43.09000:08:43.100 basically an island it looks like an 00:08:44.68000:08:44.690 island but now let's move on to this one 00:08:46.65000:08:46.660 that that's a stream that's that's 00:08:49.60000:08:49.610 definitely not an island that is a 00:08:51.04000:08:51.050 stream and 00:08:52.22000:08:52.230 this is just a well that that's in the 00:08:54.47000:08:54.480 middle of like a pond that is definitely 00:08:56.36000:08:56.370 not I mean I guess that's technically 00:08:57.89000:08:57.900 yes that small island that has the well 00:09:00.35000:09:00.360 I don't know and then you really lost me 00:09:02.72000:09:02.730 this giant structure being in an island 00:09:04.91000:09:04.920 yeah that's just kind of weird yes I 00:09:07.07000:09:07.080 know different planes have different 00:09:08.24000:09:08.250 ways to get mana or whatnot but it's 00:09:09.68000:09:09.690 just funny when you take a step back 00:09:11.06000:09:11.070 about it and actually think how we've 00:09:12.95000:09:12.960 come from an island being this to an 00:09:14.57000:09:14.580 island being this nothing wrong about it 00:09:16.43000:09:16.440 just something funny to think about all 00:09:18.17000:09:18.180 right now for something different though 00:09:19.22000:09:19.230 if there can only be one ish so in magic 00:09:22.58000:09:22.590 we've got what's called the legend rule 00:09:23.81000:09:23.820 which basically means that when there's 00:09:24.83000:09:24.840 a legendary creature or legendary 00:09:26.24000:09:26.250 planeswalker that there can only be one 00:09:27.68000:09:27.690 to that card out on the field on your 00:09:29.54000:09:29.550 side the role even used to be different 00:09:31.40000:09:31.410 and take it a step further but we'll 00:09:32.69000:09:32.700 just stick to this role for now it kind 00:09:34.31000:09:34.320 of makes sense I mean there's only been 00:09:35.57000:09:35.580 some movie plots where you know you 00:09:36.65000:09:36.660 can't go back in time and see yourself 00:09:37.97000:09:37.980 or things would get screwed up or 00:09:39.74000:09:39.750 something or whatnot 00:09:41.12000:09:41.130 anyways nickel boloss there's definitely 00:09:42.92000:09:42.930 one of that character in the entire 00:09:44.27000:09:44.280 magic universe but you know what you're 00:09:45.95000:09:45.960 actually allowed to have nickel boloss 00:09:47.45000:09:47.460 the younger dragon and the nickel 00:09:49.37000:09:49.380 blossom he's a planeswalker also and 00:09:51.23000:09:51.240 play at the same time on your side kind 00:09:53.48000:09:53.490 of weird but alright but now you can 00:09:55.01000:09:55.020 just have any other planeswalker Bullis 00:09:56.39000:09:56.400 as long as there's a different one it's 00:09:57.83000:09:57.840 the dragon gods this one's further along 00:09:59.27000:09:59.280 in this story so they're all together on 00:10:01.52000:10:01.530 the same side but as soon as other 00:10:03.20000:10:03.210 dragon god shows up you've got to 00:10:04.82000:10:04.830 sacrifice another one of them because 00:10:06.23000:10:06.240 you can't have two of those on the same 00:10:07.64000:10:07.650 side for some reason I guess if you come 00:10:09.89000:10:09.900 from the exact same time that's 00:10:11.54000:10:11.550 something different than coming from a 00:10:12.95000:10:12.960 slightly different time I'm not sure 00:10:15.26000:10:15.270 with time travel mechanics I have no 00:10:16.73000:10:16.740 idea but I do know that for whatever 00:10:18.11000:10:18.120 reason if you've got this Muir gallery 00:10:19.91000:10:19.920 for whatever reason you can do whatever 00:10:21.38000:10:21.390 you want it says that the legend role 00:10:23.12000:10:23.130 doesn't apply for whatever reason having 00:10:24.77000:10:24.780 all these mirrors makes it okay so you 00:10:26.60000:10:26.610 can have as many nickel ball-striking 00:10:27.71000:10:27.720 gods at you on your side again parallel 00:10:29.69000:10:29.700 universes or multiple instances of the 00:10:32.12000:10:32.130 same being everything is all weird and 00:10:34.82000:10:34.830 convoluted but when this mere galleries 00:10:36.32000:10:36.330 here it all just is okay but now we're 00:10:38.57000:10:38.580 moving on to another weird thing with my 00:10:40.01000:10:40.020 only weakness is and this one deals with 00:10:42.74000:10:42.750 a very specific card in magic with 00:10:44.21000:10:44.220 progenesis it's a 10-10 that literally 00:10:46.43000:10:46.440 has protection from everything I mean it 00:10:48.83000:10:48.840 says everything on there like every 00:10:50.36000:10:50.370 nothing can stop it there's no way that 00:10:52.34000:10:52.350 this can be stopped 00:10:53.24000:10:53.250 well actually wrath of God or any kind 00:10:56.18000:10:56.190 of wrath effect can kill progenesis 00:10:57.80000:10:57.810 or actually an edict effect like 00:10:59.99000:11:00.000 diabolic edict can make them sacrifice 00:11:02.03000:11:02.040 virginities so that that works too so 00:11:04.13000:11:04.140 it's more so like protection from 00:11:06.07900:11:06.089 almost everything not not quite 00:11:08.17900:11:08.189 everything a lot of things maybe and yes 00:11:10.67000:11:10.680 I know mechanically why it all works 00:11:12.37900:11:12.389 it's just funny when you stop and think 00:11:13.57900:11:13.589 about it where this creature needs 00:11:14.80900:11:14.819 protection from everything but some 00:11:16.75900:11:16.769 things can still kill it in a similar 00:11:18.49900:11:18.509 way let's move on to our next weird 00:11:19.57900:11:19.589 thing with false advertising with this 00:11:21.43900:11:21.449 one we're just going over a specific and 00:11:23.23900:11:23.249 old card with indestructible aura but 00:11:25.24900:11:25.259 before we get into the weird thing about 00:11:26.36000:11:26.370 this car just stopped in for a moment 00:11:28.10000:11:28.110 appreciate how awesome this art is this 00:11:30.43900:11:30.449 is like a bird person that is crossing 00:11:33.94900:11:33.959 both arms with like double rock on 00:11:35.62900:11:35.639 cymbals just looking really cool and 00:11:38.68900:11:38.699 just being completely fine by getting 00:11:40.16000:11:40.170 hit with some things like some fire or 00:11:41.72000:11:41.730 some ice and just being untouched so 00:11:43.63900:11:43.649 what this card actually does though is 00:11:44.86900:11:44.879 somewhat like that because it says 00:11:46.18900:11:46.199 prevent all damage that we dealt our 00:11:47.60000:11:47.610 creature this turn so that kind of is a 00:11:49.40000:11:49.410 way to protective but with the name it's 00:11:50.84000:11:50.850 pretty misleading the first part of its 00:11:52.67000:11:52.680 name is indestructible and yet it 00:11:54.07900:11:54.089 doesn't grant indestructibility and the 00:11:55.87900:11:55.889 second part of its name is aura but it's 00:11:57.67900:11:57.689 not an aura in the Sun even in 00:11:59.21000:11:59.220 enchantment it's just an instant and yes 00:12:01.18900:12:01.199 it's an old card in yes I'm nitpicking 00:12:02.74900:12:02.759 but I think it's funny so I'm keeping it 00:12:04.57900:12:04.589 in here but now let's move on to our 00:12:05.96000:12:05.970 final weird thing today with back to 00:12:07.54900:12:07.559 horse things because apparently I didn't 00:12:09.43900:12:09.449 talk enough about horses earlier and 00:12:10.99900:12:11.009 actually if you saw my last weird things 00:12:12.35000:12:12.360 episode you'll recognize this soldier 00:12:13.75900:12:13.769 token on that episode I talked about how 00:12:15.49900:12:15.509 this soldier that looks like it's gone 00:12:16.75900:12:16.769 through training and has all this 00:12:17.80900:12:17.819 equipment in a sword is just a 1/1 it 00:12:20.17900:12:20.189 can lose to an insect or a pig and so on 00:12:21.86000:12:21.870 and so forth but it can also just lose 00:12:23.41900:12:23.429 to a citizen yep apparently going 00:12:25.57900:12:25.589 through training to become a soldier is 00:12:27.19900:12:27.209 not worth it just live somewhere and be 00:12:29.03000:12:29.040 a citizen there and you're a 2/2 instead 00:12:30.94900:12:30.959 of a 1/1 just go ahead and try to wrap 00:12:32.72000:12:32.730 your mind around that you know I guess 00:12:34.24900:12:34.259 that soldier just need a horse and now 00:12:35.78000:12:35.790 it's a 2/2 right you're on a horse 00:12:37.34000:12:37.350 you're slightly more powerful so now you 00:12:38.86900:12:38.879 can take on that citizen but apparently 00:12:40.69900:12:40.709 just getting off that horse and letting 00:12:42.16900:12:42.179 it fight on its own is just more 00:12:43.73000:12:43.740 powerful than all these because it's a 00:12:45.35000:12:45.360 5/5 again let's recap this a soldier is 00:12:47.96000:12:47.970 less powerful than a citizen who's just 00:12:49.57900:12:49.589 someone who lives somewhere which is the 00:12:51.31900:12:51.329 exact same power as a person on a horse 00:12:53.68900:12:53.699 which is a knight which is less powerful 00:12:55.69900:12:55.709 than the horse just itself which is a 00:12:57.25900:12:57.269 5/5 and again that night or horse 00:12:59.36000:12:59.370 doesn't have horsemanship so they can't 00:13:00.82900:13:00.839 block other people on horses for 00:13:02.66000:13:02.670 whatever reason Magic's a pretty fun and 00:13:04.85000:13:04.860 crazy game isn't it but anyways with 00:13:07.48900:13:07.499 that the show is coming to a close so 00:13:08.86900:13:08.879 it's my turn hear from you so in the 00:13:10.42900:13:10.439 comments below let me know what your 00:13:11.66000:13:11.670 favorite weird thing in magic is and why 00:13:13.22000:13:13.230 and make sure you're following us on 00:13:14.92900:13:14.939 social media for more updates and sneak 00:13:16.42900:13:16.439 peeks on future episodes again a huge
