Short filmTranscript
00:00From wizard's name Urza to Kudo the Urza, nerds are passionate about a lot of things,
00:04but there's one thing they love above all else, and that is correcting people.
00:08This is I'm Actually.
00:21Joining us today is Allie Beardsley.
00:23Hello.
00:24Brian Kibler.
00:25Hello, hello.
00:25And Olivia Gobert-Hicks.
00:27Hey, friend.
00:27And joining us, as always, in the Fact Checker Room, we have Brian David Gilbert.
00:30Hey.
00:31How's that jumpsuit treating you?
00:32Just like red on the color pie, I feel impulsive and emotional today.
00:37I don't know what on the color pie I would actually be as the fact checker.
00:41And, well, it would probably be white, wouldn't it?
00:44That sucks for, like, law and, like...
00:48Is white on the color pie?
00:50Yeah, basically you're Azorius. You're a cop.
00:53Yeah, and I hate to hear that.
00:56We're going to keep him red.
00:57We're going to keep looking at you.
00:58For today, I'm red. It's fine.
00:59All right, so, you know, we all are known to love a trading card game or two, but y'all
01:06have a show together.
01:07It takes place at home, Commander at Home.
01:10Yeah.
01:10Yeah.
01:11Quite literally, our dining room is taking over.
01:13Yeah.
01:13And everyone here has been a guest on our show.
01:16Yeah.
01:16If any of the crew wants to come on, you know, we'll just take that offer, standing offer,
01:20you know.
01:20I don't want to keep people on the stage.
01:23All right.
01:23Well, look, Ali, you've been on the show before.
01:26This is your first time on the show.
01:27I have here a stack of statements.
01:30These are incorrect statements about properties that you know and love and it is up to you
01:33to figure out what is wrong with them.
01:35Buzz in and correct me.
01:36You must start all your corrections off with, I'm actually, or I can't give you the point.
01:39As a matter of fact, someone else can buzz in, say I'm actually, and steal that correction
01:42from you.
01:43You're free to interrupt me at any time.
01:45And that's about it.
01:46I'm ready.
01:47Let's do it.
01:47All right.
01:48Then let's start with our first statement.
01:51In Magic the Gathering, there are currently 10 cards with the text.
01:55A deck can have any number of cards named blank.
01:57But there are also two cards that limit it with the text.
02:01A deck can have up to seven cards named blank, seven dwarves, and Nazgul.
02:06Ryan.
02:08Actually, a deck can have up to nine Nazgul.
02:11Oh, that is correct.
02:14A deck can have up to nine Nazgul.
02:17The ring rates, nine of them.
02:19Yeah, yeah.
02:19Because Sauron crafted nine rings for mortal men doomed to die.
02:24Ooh.
02:25So that is a point for Brian.
02:27Starting us off great.
02:29So let's move on to our next statement.
02:33Some of the most iconic magic artifacts are the Moxin.
02:36There are five classic Moxin.
02:38Pearl, sapphire, jet, ruby, and emerald.
02:41Those were later joined by Chrome Mox, Crystal Mox, Mox Amber, Mox Opal, Mox Lotus, Mox Jasper, Mox Poison, Mox
02:48Tantalite, and even Jack and the Mox.
02:51Um, actually, I believe even though Jack and the Mox is a Mox, it was in an unset.
02:56So it's not legal.
02:57I don't know if that would take it out of that.
02:59It still counts as printed.
03:00It still counts as printed for this one.
03:02So you are correct.
03:03It is in an unset.
03:04Olivia.
03:05Um, actually, Crystal Mox is in a card?
03:07That is correct.
03:09That was what I thought, but then I saw Jack and the Mox at the end, and I was like,
03:13that sounds much less real.
03:16So you're really blowing my mind here.
03:18Jack and the Mox is sick.
03:19I actually just got a copy of it.
03:21They're so cheap.
03:22What is that from?
03:22You roll a dice, and then what you roll, it gives you that mana.
03:26So you might not even need it in your...
03:27If it's a dice roll, it's probably the most recent.
03:30It's unsanctioned, I think.
03:32I'll double check if there might be other printings, but I think it's still so.
03:35He was like, wait, what?
03:37I just, I, I, as a, well, still kind of, but former jeweler, I know all the rocks that I'm
03:42watching.
03:42I was like, that's not, no, it's not that one.
03:44I would say between this and the previous one, like, this has kind of had to change just in the
03:50past few sets.
03:50Like, you know, to date when we're filming this, this was right after Final Fantasy,
03:54which introduced a new, any card with Cid, or any number of cards.
03:59So I'm bringing this up also just to cover our ass, because in, by the time this comes out,
04:04and 18 more sets have come out, this is currently correct.
04:07All right, so that is correct, Olivia.
04:10Actually, Crystal Mox has never been a magic card.
04:13Max Lotus and Max Poison were printed in Unhinged and Mystery Booster 1, respectively,
04:18and Max Lotus taps for infinity mana.
04:20Jack and the Mox was printed in Unsanctioned.
04:23Dan Frazier, the artist for the other Moxion, was commissioned to do art for Crystal Mox card 1,
04:29but it never came out, and the art was put on Enlightened Tudor instead.
04:33What was Crystal Mox going to be?
04:35I think it was a Mox attack for Colorless.
04:37Wow.
04:37That was one of the reasons, too.
04:39I looked at that, and I'm like, I remember that being somewhere in my brain.
04:42It was like a real thing.
04:43Oh, yeah, that's the thing when I'm actually, sometimes you can know too much,
04:47because you're like, I have that.
04:47Yeah, totally, totally.
04:48That's usually my problem.
04:49Yeah.
04:51Also, it is wild that Dan Frazier did all of the Moxion art.
04:55Thinking about that, Justin, purely like a, who has made the art for the most expensive cards?
05:00No, totally.
05:01Correctively.
05:02Whose artist proofs are worth like a million dollars each?
05:05Just absurd.
05:06That's so cool.
05:06Again, all great art.
05:07Good job, Dan.
05:08All right, that is a point for Olivia as we move into our next statement.
05:12Urza's Legacy, released in February 1999, was the first time Magic featured foil cards.
05:18This type of foiling and magic would last all the way till Scourge.
05:21Pokemon beat Magic to foiling, having foil cards in their first set, which released in Japan on October 20th, 1996.
05:29Um, actually, that's not when the first Pokemon set released?
05:33That is when the first Pokemon set released.
05:36I know much less about that than I do magic.
05:38Um, actually, Urza's Legacy was not the first time Magic featured foil cards.
05:44I'm going to give you the point for that because Lightning Dragon was the first widely available foil premium card
05:50as it was given away at the Urza's Saga pre-release in 1998.
05:55Urza's Legacy was the first set to feature foil cards in the booster pack.
05:58So, yes, it, there was no, like, set that came before it.
06:02It was this promo, but Pokemon still beat it to the punch coming out in 1996 with theirs.
06:08Wow!
06:09So that is a point for Allie, bringing us to one point for everyone as we move in to our
06:15next statement.
06:15This fan submitted statement comes from Nick Schmucker.
06:19One of the more complicated aspects of Magic the Gathering's rule set is the stack, the system that processes continuous
06:25effects.
06:26They are handled in order based on what they do in seven different categories.
06:30In order, they are copy, control, text, type, color, ability, and power toughness.
06:36Oh, actually, that's not called the stack.
06:39The stack is something else.
06:40Yeah, yes.
06:42Do you know the name for what is being described right now?
06:49All right, then we'll open it up, and they can take a guess.
06:52And if not, then the point goes to Brian, Olivia.
06:55Um, actually, there's state-based effects?
06:57No.
06:58No.
06:59That is incorrect.
06:59I'm just sitting here looking at Colin's message check.
07:01I know that much.
07:02That was, yeah, that was where I was going to go, and I'm like, all right.
07:04That can't be right, yeah.
07:05I have no idea.
07:06Okay, this was.
07:07They're not layers.
07:08So the.
07:08That is what it is.
07:09It is layers.
07:09It's layers.
07:10Well, yes, too late.
07:12And that point goes to Brian.
07:13I'm actually layers.
07:14It was the continuous part that got me.
07:16I can think this is just a static track.
07:18Even in the, like, deepness I've gotten into, like, doing standard and, um, you know, limited
07:24games and even going to Grand Prixs once upon a time, I was never messing with layer stuff.
07:31It was commander that brings you, like, face first into all these.
07:35That's one of the funniest things is that commander is, like, the most popular, you know,
07:39form of magic and also the way in which most people get introduced to magic these days.
07:42It's also just the hardest.
07:45Yeah.
07:45Because there's so much shit going on.
07:47There's so much.
07:47There's four different people's stuff.
07:49Yeah.
07:49Like, combining.
07:50And they're all unique cards.
07:51Commander is.
07:52They create the most, the weirdest game states.
07:53Yeah.
07:53Commander is a skill check for the CR.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Yeah.
07:56That's true.
07:57I truly think, like, when I first got into it, like, someone was like, oh, all you need
08:01to know for commander is, how does your deck work?
08:04And I was like, what?
08:06Okay.
08:06And so I did.
08:07I was like, I know how everything in my commander deck works.
08:09And then as soon as someone plays a different card that, like, interacts with it, I'm like,
08:13well, shit.
08:13I guess.
08:14Yeah.
08:14Okay.
08:15That's the thing, too, because, like, most people will tell you how their deck works,
08:19but people forget how tabletop games work.
08:22Because the moment they're like, it does this, I'm like, let me look that up.
08:25Yeah, no, oh, my God.
08:26Let me look that up.
08:27A huge part of commander is, like, googling rules and, like.
08:30I will say it also opens up my favorite thing that happens in commander is when I play a
08:33card and I think it only affects one little thing, but it affects every single person.
08:37And I'm like, I'm sorry, I would have not put this card in.
08:40This is super nasty what I just did.
08:42That's the thing that I love about commander is that it's, like, not mean.
08:46Yeah.
08:47And, like, when you're playing, like, competitively, like, one-on-one, it's like, no one's like,
08:51oh, my God, that was so mean.
08:52Like, no one cares.
08:54So that's a funny dynamic.
08:55Whenever we get into magic discourse and people are like, everyone doesn't get mad
08:59when you want to win at commander, everyone wants to.
09:01I was like, no, it's because you brought, like, a ceiling four deck to a table that you
09:07know has, like, bracket two or three.
09:09I was like, but there is CDEDH.
09:11There is that.
09:11There is competitive magic.
09:13And there's so many arenas to be good at magic, to be a professional at magic.
09:17And you chose.
09:19My kitchen table.
09:19My kitchen table.
09:20Look, I feel the same way when I go to a playground and I'm doing my iron crosses on
09:24the bars and all these toddlers are getting angry at me.
09:27Like, get better at it, okay?
09:28Come on.
09:29That's fan art if I've ever heard of it.
09:31I want to see.
09:32And I want to be tagged in that.
09:34I would like to be tagged in that.
09:35That point goes to Brian.
09:37And that brings us to our first shiny question of the game.
09:40Shiny questions, just like shiny Pokemon, are worth the same, but they're just a little
09:43bit different and a little rarer.
09:45This one's called, What's Your Sign?
09:52One of the most prominent parts of a trading card game is the new symbols you have to learn
09:57for them.
09:57So we'll show you a symbol and you buzz in and tell us which trading card game it comes
10:01from.
10:02Whoever gets the most correct wins the point.
10:04Spades.
10:06Let's show you your first symbol.
10:11Allie.
10:12Pokemon.
10:13That's correct.
10:13That one was Pokemon.
10:15Your next one.
10:19Olivia.
10:20One Piece?
10:21That is correct.
10:22One Piece trading card game.
10:24Okay.
10:25Okay.
10:25Yeah.
10:27Yeah.
10:27Yeah.
10:27See, I see the crystallization.
10:29Does that just say 4,000 at the top?
10:31Yes, it does.
10:31Wow.
10:32Power creep.
10:34Your numbers are a bit bigger.
10:35All right.
10:36Let's go to our next one.
10:41Ryan.
10:42Heart style.
10:42Yes.
10:44I better know this.
10:46Let's move to our next symbol.
10:52Olivia.
10:53Magic the Gathering.
10:53Yeah.
10:54That is correct.
10:54Dang, old school.
10:55Yeah.
10:56Yeah.
10:57I have played that card.
10:58Oh, wow.
11:00All right.
11:00Let's look at our next card.
11:05Olivia.
11:06Flesh and Blood.
11:07That is correct.
11:08I never would have gotten that.
11:09I have not played that.
11:10All right.
11:11Your next symbol.
11:16Ryan.
11:17Netrunner.
11:19Incorrect.
11:20I've never seen this before in my life.
11:22I don't think I have either.
11:24Animorphs.
11:26I'll say the Star Wars Unlimited.
11:28Incorrect.
11:29We'll call it there.
11:30This is from Gundam Arsenal Base.
11:32I would never have guessed that.
11:34Of course not.
11:35It's only available in Japan.
11:36And I played it when I went to Japan.
11:39It is a tower defense game that gives out like random trading cards that you can use.
11:45And I use RFID that when you play it on the deck.
11:48Yeah, you feel like you're in Yu-Gi-Oh for real.
11:50And so you get like a mobile suit and a pilot.
11:53And you can just, you know, develop your deck because you get two cards for free every time you play.
11:58And you build your own deck.
11:59But if he came back from Japan, he was telling me all about this.
12:03And he was like, yeah, I like bought so many cards.
12:05I spent so much time on this.
12:06And I was like, cool.
12:07Are there any like arcades around here that play it?
12:09And he was like, nope.
12:10Just have them in the.
12:11But you've got them.
12:12Yeah.
12:12Just have them waiting for me.
12:14For next time.
12:14Oh, yeah.
12:15And I definitely keep checking to make sure it's still in circulation.
12:18Because knowing my luck, I'm going to come like loaded.
12:20And then it's like actually the game just kind of died out.
12:23It flopped.
12:24That brings us to the end of this shiny question.
12:27Allie and Brian, you had one correct.
12:29Olivia, you had three correct.
12:30So that point goes to you.
12:32All right.
12:32All right.
12:33Bringing us to one for Allie, two for Brian, two for Olivia as we move into our next statement.
12:40Magic the Gathering has a history of decks with ludicrous food names, such as Ponza,
12:44a land destruction based deck named after a type of calzone served in Wisconsin, or Quicken
12:49Toast, a blue-white control deck named for an item from Quick, a Belgian fast food chain.
12:55Um, actually, Quick is a French fast food chain?
12:58That is incorrect.
12:59It is named after that.
13:01Interesting.
13:01Quicken Toast was not a blue-white control deck.
13:04Oh, no!
13:05You didn't say-
13:06No!
13:07No!
13:09I'm actually.
13:10I'm still in this!
13:14I'm actually.
13:16Quicken Toast was not a blue-white control deck.
13:18Yes.
13:19Do you know what type of deck it was?
13:20It was, in fact, a blue-white sacrifice deck.
13:29That is incorrect, but we will give you that point unless someone knows exactly what type.
13:34Um, actually, it was a burn deck?
13:35That is incorrect.
13:37Brian?
13:37Worth a shot.
13:38Um, actually, it was a combo deck.
13:40That is also incorrect.
13:42Allie, you'll get the point.
13:43Quicken Toast was a five-color control deck.
13:46And also, a pond's calzone is deep-fried, and you owe it to yourself to try one before
13:51you're old enough to know better than to eat it.
13:53Oh, that's hilarious.
13:54Have you had one before?
13:55I've never had one, but I did look up pictures, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it
14:01to go to Wisconsin just to get one.
14:03That sounds great, honestly.
14:05Yeah, absolutely.
14:06I mean, I can even tell you it's specifically a Ponz-er-rata was what it was named after.
14:09Okay.
14:09Because I was around when that was a thing.
14:11Wow.
14:12Wow.
14:12All right, let's move on to our next statement.
14:16The Pokemon Trading Card Game finally graced our cell phones in 2023 with the debut of
14:21two separate apps, Pokemon Trading Card Game Live and Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket.
14:27While Live uses the same rules as the physical trading card game, Pocket simplifies the rules
14:32with smaller decks, 20 cards instead of 60, and faster gameplay.
14:36Um, actually, Pocket does not use a 20-card deck.
14:41Pocket does use a 20-card deck.
14:43Brian?
14:44Um, actually, they didn't both come out in 2023.
14:48No, they both came out in 2023.
14:50Um, actually, Pocket makes the rules more complicated with smaller decks.
14:56No, it does make it easier.
14:57It actually has lids.
15:00We'll call that there.
15:01The correction that we were looking for was that before Pocket and Live, there was Pokemon
15:06TCG Online, which debuted in 2011 and was taken offline in 2023.
15:13Live is considered its direct replacement.
15:15So Pocket and Live wasn't the first time it graced our phone.
15:18Because your phone can get on the internet?
15:20Because your phone got live, yeah.
15:22Oh, right.
15:23I mean, your phone was able to get...
15:25My desk.
15:26How did you guys do that?
15:30All right, we'll move on to our next statement.
15:33Of course you should fight fire with fire.
15:35You should fight everything with fire.
15:37Just the thing for those pesky water mages.
15:40All my spells smell like burnt hair today.
15:42These are just a few of the memorable quotes on the flavor text of cards from the fiery
15:46pyromantic planeswalker Chandra Nallar.
15:49Um, actually, some of these flavor texts are not from Chandra's planeswalker cards.
15:55They're other Chandra cards as well.
15:57Incorrect.
15:58Brian.
15:59Um, actually, just the thing for those pesky water mages quote is not from Chandra Nallar.
16:04I will say that one isn't from Chandra Nallar.
16:08As a matter of fact, I will say that none of these quotes are for Chandra Nallar.
16:12If you can...
16:13Oh.
16:13Um, actually, they're from Jessica.
16:16No, not Jessica.
16:17Excuse me.
16:17I'm actually there from...
16:18Oh, my God.
16:20Why am I forgetting her name?
16:23No!
16:25I cosplayed her for cosplayers.
16:28Just call.
16:29Um, actually, they're quotes from Jaya.
16:31Yes!
16:32That is...
16:34It was a J!
16:35There was an A at the end!
16:36I was almost there!
16:38Oh, my God!
16:39These are quotes from Jaya Ballard.
16:42She is, uh, uh, Chandra's protege.
16:45Wow.
16:46Mentor.
16:46Mentor.
16:47Yeah, that's...
16:47I'm sorry.
16:47Chandra is the protege.
16:48Chandra's the protege.
16:49She was one at, uh...
16:51Carol at Care Keep.
16:53She's in super early flavor text.
16:54Yeah, yeah.
16:54Super early minded flavor text.
16:55Care Keep stuff.
16:56All my spells smell like burnt hair today
16:58was the first time in my life
17:00that I thought, like,
17:01oh, it must be really stinky
17:03if you're a fire mage.
17:04Like, I never thought about
17:05how, like, even, like,
17:06Zuko from Avatar must be...
17:08Like, you're sweating all the time.
17:10You're accidentally burning weird shit.
17:11Like, it must be very smelly
17:13as a fire mage.
17:14That is a point for Brian
17:16as we move in
17:18to our next shiny question.
17:21Get carded!
17:27The IP to collectible card game pipeline
17:29is strong.
17:31But do you know
17:31which of these intellectual properties
17:33have their own collectible card games?
17:35We'll give you a property
17:36and using your paddles,
17:38you need to tell us
17:39if this has a card game spinoff
17:40or is sadly cardless.
17:43Whoever gets the most correct
17:44wins the point.
17:45As a reminder,
17:46these are IPs
17:46that have their own collectible card game,
17:48not featured in other ones
17:50like a secret lair
17:51or something like that.
17:53So, let us start off
17:54with your first IP.
17:56Tomb Raider.
17:57Do we think
17:58it's carded or cardless?
18:01Olivia and Brian are correct.
18:03There is a Tomb Raider
18:05collectible card game.
18:07There's also a Lara Croft magic card.
18:09Yes.
18:10That was a secret lair.
18:12Yeah, but it exists.
18:13It does?
18:14In order to get pictures of all these,
18:16Art did have to purchase all of them.
18:17That's awesome.
18:18So, if you'd like to take a look.
18:20Great polygons.
18:21I will say Ben Brode did it better.
18:23Great polygons.
18:24When he dressed as Lara Croft,
18:25he was more convincing.
18:26Wow.
18:27This is very,
18:28I just got paid
18:29and I'm at board.
18:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:30This is.
18:32All right.
18:32Your next card game is
18:35Alien vs. Predator.
18:37Did it have a card game
18:38or is it cardless?
18:41Everyone is incorrect.
18:42It did get a card game.
18:43Wow.
18:44It was an Alien, Predator,
18:45customizable card game.
18:47The early 90s,
18:48there were so many things
18:49that jumped on the bandwagon
18:51of magic success.
18:52Oh, yeah.
18:53Your next property is Aragon.
18:55That's the book series, right?
18:57Yeah.
18:58This has to be, right,
18:59one of these.
18:59This is correct
19:01that it is,
19:02there is no card game
19:03for Aragon.
19:04I feel like I would have heard
19:05of another dragon card game.
19:07Yeah.
19:08It's kind of in my wheelhouse.
19:09Yeah.
19:09Well, your next IP is Bratz.
19:12Does Bratz have a collectible card game?
19:15You know, sure.
19:17Olivia and Ali,
19:18you are correct.
19:19Oh, no.
19:19There is the Bratz fashion party fever game.
19:22I will also say that
19:24when we got this,
19:25this is truly,
19:26they have like little red circles
19:28that you put over
19:29certain things to read.
19:29Is that where you put their noses
19:30that aren't there?
19:31Yeah.
19:31Oh, no,
19:32to be able to like read text,
19:33but originally I thought
19:34that these,
19:35you were just supposed
19:36to be able to read
19:36and it's maybe the worst
19:38Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
19:39interface I've ever seen
19:40from any card.
19:42It's just,
19:42it is a nightmare to look at.
19:44It's got the little magic.
19:46Yeah, yeah,
19:46a little,
19:47you have to like look through it
19:48with a specific thing
19:49and there's a dice.
19:50There's an entire category
19:51of,
19:52it says it's toy of the year.
19:54I think it's for Bratz.
19:55Yes,
19:55this is indeed
19:56the 2003
19:57toy of the year winner
19:59property of the year Bratz.
20:02So I don't think
20:02it's for this.
20:03I don't think it's this.
20:05I'm going to doubt
20:05was the actual winner.
20:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:07All right,
20:08your next IP
20:09is Austin Powers.
20:12Austin Powers.
20:15Yeah, baby.
20:17Everyone's correct.
20:18It is in fact a...
20:19Wow.
20:20That was that time
20:21when there were
20:22so many things
20:22coming out, right?
20:23And it's exactly
20:24the kind of property
20:25where it's like,
20:26yeah,
20:26let's just put this shit
20:27in a card.
20:28If you'd like for me
20:29to read off the text
20:30of one of the cards...
20:31Please do.
20:31This card is called
20:32Austin Powers,
20:33Kama Sutra.
20:34Play on Table.
20:36Your Randy vibes
20:37now also provide
20:38Shagadelic vibes.
20:40All right,
20:41your next card game
20:42is Monty Python
20:44and the Holy Grail.
20:46Monty Python
20:47and the Holy Grail.
20:49Ryan,
20:49Ali,
20:50you're correct.
20:50It does have
20:51its own card game.
20:54Wow.
20:54Wow.
20:55Beautiful.
20:55Oh, and packs.
20:56I think I remember
20:57seeing these booster packs
20:58at a store sometime.
20:59When did this come out?
21:00Well, let me go ahead
21:01and just check the packaging.
21:021996.
21:05That era.
21:06Exactly.
21:07It was like,
21:07what can we throw
21:08at the wall
21:09and hope sticks?
21:10Yeah.
21:10So our next one
21:11is SimCity.
21:14SimCity.
21:15I mean...
21:17That is correct.
21:18There is the SimCity,
21:20the card game.
21:21Look at that
21:22crystal number.
21:24Yeah,
21:25there's some good ones.
21:26That is a mood.
21:27I mean,
21:28granted,
21:28we just only could afford,
21:29you know,
21:30one booster pack
21:31of this extremely rare
21:32and important piece
21:33of card lore,
21:34but a lot of these
21:35are just like
21:36straight up pictures
21:37that I think
21:38somebody went around
21:38and chose things.
21:39They just went around town?
21:40Yeah.
21:41Landfill.
21:41Yeah, I mean,
21:43that card,
21:43you can just rename
21:44to like the council member
21:46if he's type.
21:47Like, I see...
21:48Literally,
21:48I was just about to say that.
21:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:50I see that council member
21:51on fields.
21:52So she's involved
21:52at the crowns.
21:53This one was...
21:54This was 94.
21:56This is the finest
21:57Photoshop 1994
21:58could give you.
21:59Ghost removal service.
22:01Just very artfully
22:02put on the facade
22:03of the building.
22:04That's so funny.
22:04This is actually
22:05like the sort of prequel
22:06to the Spirit Halloween band.
22:08Yeah, it is.
22:09Oh my God, totally.
22:10It's like exactly
22:10the same style
22:12of everything.
22:12Okay,
22:13so at the end
22:14of that shiny round,
22:15Ali,
22:16you had four correct.
22:18Brian,
22:18you had four correct.
22:20Olivia,
22:20you had four correct,
22:21which means
22:21everyone gets a point.
22:23Wow.
22:23Wow.
22:23Jesus.
22:23This was one
22:25of the hardest
22:25shinies to write,
22:26not because it was
22:27hard to find
22:27like weird ones,
22:28but because every IP
22:29has a card game.
22:30Like if you can list
22:31any IP right now,
22:33there's a 90% chance
22:34that there's
22:35a collectible card game.
22:36So one that I was
22:36really hoping to hear
22:37was the Bible,
22:38because there is in fact
22:40the Redemption card game,
22:42which is the second
22:43longest continuous
22:44published card game
22:45out there after Magic.
22:47Wow.
22:47Oh my God.
22:48Like it apparently
22:49is still very popular
22:49in like the Bible though.
22:51Wow.
22:51There was a time back
22:53when people wrote
22:54like Turner Reports
22:55for Magic on like
22:56Usenet BBS services.
22:58And someone wrote
22:58a satirical redemption
23:01Turner Report.
23:02Yeah.
23:02It was incredible.
23:04That's amazing.
23:05I implore anyone watching
23:07to go try and find that
23:08in like the Wayback Machine
23:09because it was unbelievably funny.
23:11I also,
23:11I just want to say
23:12looking through this,
23:13like when you said
23:13Redemption,
23:14it is indeed
23:14a long running card game,
23:16but like there are
23:17multiple Bible card games.
23:19There's also Bible Battles
23:21trading card games.
23:22Redemption actually
23:23looks pretty cool.
23:24They also,
23:25they also use shag points.
23:27Yeah.
23:29Yeah, it's weird.
23:30Whenever you can get
23:31your Randy vibes
23:32high enough in Redemption.
23:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:34That's why the virgin birth
23:35was a miracle.
23:37All right.
23:38So Ali,
23:39you have three points.
23:40Olivia,
23:41you have three points.
23:41And Brian,
23:42you have four points.
23:43And we move
23:44into our next statement.
23:46Rounds in Magic the Gathering
23:48competitive tournaments
23:48are traditionally
23:4950 minutes long,
23:51though the required minimum
23:52is 40 minutes.
23:53And the top eight
23:54of those tournaments
23:55are untimed.
23:56When the time is up
23:58in the round,
23:58the active player
23:59finishes their turn.
24:00Then you proceed
24:01to three additional turns.
24:03If there is no winner
24:04at the end of those turns,
24:06the match is a draw.
24:07Um, actually,
24:08you play five additional turns
24:10at the end of round.
24:11That is correct.
24:13I didn't even look
24:14at the correction
24:14because this is
24:15a Hall of Fame
24:16competitive player.
24:17This has come up
24:18a few times in my life.
24:22Brian,
24:23has there been a time
24:23that you've, like,
24:24gone through all five
24:25and it has changed
24:26the current state?
24:28Oh, yeah.
24:28Yeah, absolutely.
24:29I mean,
24:29when you get to the late turns
24:31in a competitive game,
24:32like, you're often very close
24:33to the end of a game.
24:34And sometimes it can inform,
24:36you know,
24:36the way that you choose
24:37to play the game
24:38knowing how much time
24:38is left in the round.
24:39It's like, okay,
24:39I can't win this game,
24:40but maybe I can get a draw
24:41because I'm so far behind.
24:42Yeah.
24:43I will point out,
24:44it's very important
24:44that there are time limits
24:46for most Magic rounds.
24:47There was the Master Series,
24:50which was kind of a,
24:51you know,
24:52second tier competitive event
24:53that they used to hold
24:54alongside Pro Tours.
24:55And I played a match
24:56at a Master Series
24:57that was three and a half
24:58hours long.
24:59Oh, no.
24:59And I don't want to do that.
25:02Yeah, totally.
25:03That's like one commander game.
25:05That was one,
25:05I had to play again after that.
25:07That's so funny.
25:08That is a point for Brian
25:10as we move in
25:11to our next statement.
25:13One of the most memorable moments
25:15in Magic Tournament history
25:16dubbed the top deck
25:18of the century
25:18is 2006 Pro Tour Honolulu
25:21semifinals match
25:22between Craig Jones
25:23and Olivier Ruel.
25:25Craig facing lethal damage
25:26next turn
25:27and with only a single draw
25:29step left,
25:30flips his next card
25:31as he reveals it
25:32to be a game winning spell
25:34causing the commentary team
25:35to disclaim,
25:36oh, it's Lightning Bolt.
25:38Oh, my God.
25:39Oh, my God.
25:40Brian.
25:42The card was Lightning Helix,
25:44not Lightning Bolt.
25:45Um, actually, I'm actually.
25:46Didn't say I'm actually.
25:47You didn't say I'm actually.
25:47No, it did afterwards.
25:50I was letting you take it
25:52since you got stolen from him.
25:53I missed it and I was sitting there.
25:55You can always just pass
25:56and I'll do it
25:57and then it's even worse.
25:58Um, actually,
25:58it was Deflecting Swat.
26:00Wow.
26:03Um, actually,
26:04it was Lightning Helix.
26:05That is cool.
26:06Correct.
26:07That brings our score now
26:08to three for Allie,
26:10four for Olivia,
26:11and five for Brian.
26:12Woo!
26:12And it is time for
26:14our final shiny question
26:15of the game.
26:16Don't stop
26:17your sleeving.
26:19And we're taking it
26:20to the shiny stage.
26:21Hold on to that sleeving.
26:29No one wants to be
26:30the last person
26:30to sleeve their deck
26:31at a draft.
26:32Each of you will receive
26:33a standard 40 card deck
26:34and you must sleeve
26:35the cards
26:36as fast as possible.
26:37Fastest wins,
26:38but don't
26:39damage the cards.
26:40Everyone comfortable
26:42and ready to start sleeving?
26:44Yeah.
26:44Yes.
26:45All right.
26:45Three, two, one,
26:47start.
26:53Whoa!
26:58These square corners
27:00are absolutely
27:01screwing me up.
27:05Brian, I only got you
27:06as Ify the Rare.
27:11Oh, no!
27:12Oh, no!
27:13Oh, my gosh.
27:14With what seems
27:15to be a huge lead,
27:17Olivia is cleaning up.
27:20It's all right, Allie.
27:22Ah!
27:24Beautiful.
27:25All right,
27:25now we're going to have
27:26a shuffling company.
27:27Yeah, yes.
27:28Yeah.
27:29So, Allie,
27:31you sleeved your deck
27:32in two minutes
27:33and 26 seconds.
27:35Crazy.
27:35Brian sleeved
27:36your deck
27:37in two minutes
27:38and 18 seconds.
27:39And at two minutes
27:40exactly,
27:41Olivia,
27:42you sleeved your deck
27:43the fastest
27:43and you get the point
27:44for this shiny question,
27:46bringing us to
27:47three for Allie
27:48and five for
27:49Olivia and Brian
27:50as we move in
27:51to our final
27:52statement,
27:53which is
27:54always concerns
27:55real-life skills.
28:01Can't afford
28:01to get into
28:02a trading card game?
28:03Make your own!
28:04To make politics
28:05more interesting,
28:06the small town
28:06of Kawara in Japan
28:08made Parliament,
28:08TCG,
28:09an indie card game
28:10with local politicians
28:12as the cards.
28:13This became
28:13extremely popular
28:14in the community,
28:15leading to kids
28:16asking the politicians
28:17for their signatures.
28:18Allie?
28:19Um, actually,
28:20it wasn't
28:21local politicians
28:22as the cards.
28:23That is correct.
28:24Do you know
28:25what the cards were?
28:27It was like
28:27animals as
28:28the politicians
28:29as the cards?
28:30That is incorrect.
28:31We'll give them
28:31both an attempt
28:32to guess exactly
28:33what it is.
28:33If not,
28:34you'll get the point.
28:35Olivia?
28:35Um, actually,
28:37it was prefecture
28:39politicians
28:39instead of locals.
28:41That is incorrect.
28:42Brian,
28:43did you want
28:43to take a guess?
28:44Um, actually,
28:45it was
28:47national politicians.
28:49That is also
28:51incorrect.
28:51The game
28:52was called
28:53Oji-san TCG
28:55and it features
28:5647 different cards
28:57featuring middle-aged
28:58and elderly men
28:59in the community.
29:00Like,
29:01all-rounder
29:02Mr. Fuji,
29:02a highly sought-after
29:04card that highlights
29:05a well-known
29:05community volunteer.
29:07I love that!
29:08A well-known volunteer?
29:08And it has become, like,
29:09very popular
29:11among the kids
29:11to the point
29:12that, again,
29:13like, the good cards
29:14all-rounder
29:15is, like,
29:16when they see him,
29:17they're like,
29:17oh, can I please
29:18get you to sign my card?
29:19Like, apparently
29:20made things, like,
29:21really wonderful
29:21in the community.
29:22This is the coolest
29:23thing I think I've heard
29:24in a long, long time.
29:26Yeah.
29:26So that point
29:27goes to Allie,
29:29bringing them
29:29to four points.
29:31And our winners today,
29:32Olivia and Brian,
29:33thank you all
