 OldUncleDan: Hint:  Graveyard Hate is going to be very important.
Piecrust9: Oh wait im playing that right now!
 NornsFelidar: mono black... with green
Piecrust9: @nornsfelidar just a hint
 Marvoleath: @NornsFelidar it's just Deathrite
 MrForceOfWill: does this event only use precons or can established players use their own decks
 Marvoleath: precons only
Piecrust9: @mrforceofwill precons only
 couchboyj: Hey!  Thats OUR side of the parasocial relationship!
Piecrust9: Throw ob nixilis in the bin
averythetiger: He likes the hole.  He's happy there
Piecrust9: He is a trash bean
 Mangledpixel: boop
averythetiger: Oh no
 MrForceOfWill: oh the moon cards are so good in gladiator so many non basic lands
 OldUncleDan: I kinda dislike Gladiator as it currently is.  I generally despise Alchemy cards is a psudeo-competitive format like this.
averythetiger: Right click
 Mangledpixel: right click to see
 Mangledpixel: then click 'view specializations'
 MrForceOfWill: specialize it is kinda like transforming based on what card you discard
 Bugberry: Specialize can be overwhelming, it just gives extra abilities, different based on the color you choose.
 OldUncleDan: And here is one of my prime examples of why I don't like Alchemy.
averythetiger: Well, in this deck, 95% of the time, she'll specialize black
 Bugberry: @OldUncleDan Jumping straight into a deck will cause issues, but knowing ahead of time it's much more managable.
 Decaped: Cards have so many words now.

 Mangledpixel: things?!?!?
 OldUncleDan: @Bugberry Still bad design...  I my opinion.
 OldUncleDan: in
 LadyLockwood92: and stuff?
 Lord_Hosk: Hey Cori, Guess what?
 Lord_Hosk: You're amazing and talented.  Boooooom take that.
Piecrust9: @lord_hosk wow cant believe you just did that in the main channel
 shamblingkrenshar: This event makes me want an official Gladiator que real bad.
 MrForceOfWill: ^^
 shamblingkrenshar: If they've done this I feel like it can't be much of a leap?
 KingOfDoma: Wait, are we praising the charming and lovely Coriander Dickinson?... can I get to that later?
 OldUncleDan: Get rid of the Alchemy B.S., and I'd happily support a Gladiator queue.
 MrForceOfWill: we’ve had a queue for gladiator in the past
Piecrust9: Theyve done a more open one before, so they are just being butts
 couchboyj: I'd be in Arena so much thst I'd have to stop playing multiple other games, if there was a Gladiator queue.
 Bugberry: Brawl was in a similar place early on. Having a lot of ques open at once is something they want to avoid.
 tsp397: But you could be the premier lands pilot of the format
YeOldeMark: Sneak attack
 couchboyj: Sneak Attack, one would assume
 Bugberry: @couchboyj I haven't played Commander on MTGO, but I can only assume doing multiplayer with randos would lead to games taking even longer.
 RockPusher: Did that ooze druid have… booty?
 OldUncleDan: Brawl is at least presented as less serious.  Gladiator is trying to be semi-competitive, much like Canlander.
 Mangledpixel: ohh, sneak attack
Flyingdelorion: you sneak attack big creatures onto the battlefield!
Piecrust9: You sure can change it up
 Mangledpixel: biney tones
 Bugberry: The deck colors are deceptive, "5" colors when it's just Gruul.
Piecrust9: They look like theyre focusing on doing their own thing, just play your cards out snd force em to deal with you

Piecrust9: o7
 James_the_Dabbler: Feel like this is overkill
 Bugberry: 2 ramp decks squaring off like a DBZ powering up scene.

 JRandomHacker: So this Gladiator format is pretty cool, huh
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, JRandomHacker! (Today's storm count: 10)
 Bugberry: !card fireblast
  LRRbot: Fireblast [4RR] | Instant | You may sacrifice two Mountains rather than pay this spell's mana cost. / Fireblast deals 4 damage to any target.
Andromeda7747: its very much like a spell that does 4 damage divided
 JRandomHacker: @Piecrust9 It's surprisingly fine - singleton makes it not so abusable, and aggro is big enough in the format that the life-payment is a real constraint
 Marvoleath: !card pyrokinesis
  LRRbot: Pyrokinesis [4RR] | Instant | You may exile a red card from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost. / Pyrokinesis deals 4 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures.
RaixZaza: hi quick question does encroaching mycosynth affect cards in the sideboard?
 Bugberry: Ah, the other pitch Burn spell.
Piecrust9: Planeswalker time?
Andromeda7747: we've had channel for years and its never been particularly busted, its just very cool
 AtomicAlchemical: oh we cooking now
Andromeda7747: when in doubt, fury
 bytecaster: Are we being gladiators?
 boyesie: Which format is this?
 Bugberry: Time to eat Valgavoth
Andromeda7747: @boyesie Gladiator! its arena 100 card singleton
Piecrust9: Eat the valgavoth!!!
 neisan2112: They're dead either way
 Bugberry: nice
 ghizmou: imagine how delicious he must tatste
 tsp397: Woo!
collectangels: how does giant evil moth taste?
duckace11: demons don't agree with me so that's why I don't eat them
Ukon_Cairns: valgavoth some kinda moth, i doubt it woulda been tasty
 Bugberry: @ghizmou that real "home" cooked flavor.
Andromeda7747: valgavoth tastes like house
Ukon_Cairns: the doctor?
 BrowneePointz: I mean he's an Elder Demon
 BrowneePointz: he probably taste like Brimstone
duckace11: oh just a powder like cinnamon
 neisan2112: Nice
 bytecaster: Mono Blake, only cards named Blake
 JRandomHacker: Mono-Blake is UW Blink with Cloudblazer
 neisan2112: I should rename my deck to mono blake now
 tsp397: I don't think it's viable in singleton
Piecrust9: Cori stop copying my deck choices! Im gonna have to change again
 CaptainSpam notes that Cori knows what a house tastes like, to the point where she can draw comparisons between a non-dusty house and a dusty house with regards to flavor
Andromeda7747: bloodstained mire can find us white mana
 Bugberry: Magic cards with regular modern names has the same vibe as people giving pets people names like Kevin.
 neisan2112: Perfect mana
duckace11: never punished
Andromeda7747: dog
 JRandomHacker: Phelia is an "attacks" trigger
Andromeda7747: dog atack
Piecrust9: Bat flies, dog not fly
 tsp397: Bloomburrow
Ukon_Cairns: that dog did look pretty jumpy but a corgi only gets so much air

 EtherosLeVeque: Literally 11/12ths of a year!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, EtherosLeVeque! (Today's storm count: 11)
 Bugberry: I believe Legendary creatures still use their names instead of "this creature".
Andromeda7747: sometimes its nice to have a thing
 ghizmou: something to flicker between your fingers
collectangels: Wouldn't it be nice, to be able to shoot 3 damage?
chaostreader: plenty of red cards like discarding in Gladiator so holding land can have lots of value.
Ukon_Cairns: boros do like to turn cards in hand into other cards. a stockpile of extra lands in hand aint nothin
 EtherosLeVeque: Just hopped on. What are we playing today? Pioneer?
ztghostie: !schedule
  LRRbot: Want to know what's coming up? Check out https://loadingreadyrun.com/live for an interactive schedule, or http://lrr.cc/schedule for a Google Calendar version.
 EtherosLeVeque: Thanks!
Piecrust9: Rip anim
 Cptasparagus: do they have Cori Mountain in this format?
Ukon_Cairns: one day all of that kids friends will perish and he will become a chad for it
Piecrust9: Thats stepmom
 ckupf: its step mom
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: stepmom
 tsp397: Uh-oh
collectangels: I read "Professor Crocodile"
 bytecaster: Oh, right, the stabby crocodile
Andromeda7747: that crocodile has so many knives
 neisan2112: God I love this croc so much
 bytecaster: I did draft that once, it is a lot of fun
 ghizmou: can you believe it s an alchemy card
 EtherosLeVeque: Many Magic the Gathering players ask how many Stab Wounds can you conjure?
 bytecaster: It has a professorship in stabbing!
 tsp397: Silly and alchemy are pretty interchangeable
 Lord_Hosk: I can be your hero baby.... I can get run over and die
 neisan2112: Its great with delve cus you get a bunch of stab wounds in your graveyard
 neisan2112: And collect evidence
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: is it a detective?
 Cptasparagus: I dont think this works? its not a detective yet
Ukon_Cairns: proffesor crocodile is a fun twist on massacre wurm. gets real funny if having 5 stab wounds in the bin ends up relevant
 Cptasparagus: you gotta do 1st ability then 2nd ability
DAC169: you have to do them in order. 1st ability then 2nd
 bytecaster: If they have big creatures, that crocodile is so devoted to black, that crocodile is religious
duckace11: oh no more content
Piecrust9: You CAN cast fomo
Piecrust9: Lands can find red lands
 Cptasparagus: win!
 ghizmou: yay, we won
Piecrust9: Wow ggs!
Ukon_Cairns: yup, you have at least 2 plains in your deck thats also a mountain
collectangels: we have at least elegant parlor
 bytecaster: Fancy bad draft common!
collectangels: we searched it last game
Andromeda7747: wooooooooooo fancy rock dragon
 Cptasparagus: awesomification

collectangels: you can't tap their manadorks with this^^
 NovaTiempo: !updog

Ukon_Cairns: jokes on you, instead of tapping that card for mana, now its a different card that taps for mana
collectangels: take that opponent!
 NovaTiempo: ohno, trase
Andromeda7747: so many mirrors getting broken rn

 Cptasparagus: can bolt the raptor and kill with first strike on rahilda
 bytecaster: Oh no 
 bytecaster: My hubris was trying to sign up for the event and it was too late
 bytecaster: Classic tragedy
Andromeda7747: you can join the gladiator discord which i would recommend its very fun

Andromeda7747: moral victory
collectangels: tap chandra too 
Piecrust9: Yall this event is great for the color challenges! Ive gotten 5 done since it started

Ukon_Cairns: could tap chandra, but monke chandra
MoxleyUnhinged: i am so smrt - Cori
 Bugberry: This is when Alchemy is fun
Piecrust9: Sneaky sneaky
 Lord_Hosk: Wait wait... what mechanic untaped Ugin and Chandra?

 Marvoleath: sneak snak
 Lord_Hosk: Are planeswalkers listed as something that untaps in that step?
 RockPusher: Untap step too powerful, plz nerf
Andromeda7747: everything untaps in the untap step
MoxleyUnhinged: yeet, yoot, yote
 OldUncleDan: All permanents untap during the untap step.
ContingentCat: Never too many cats I say
Andromeda7747: even your battles untap which is fun
 OldUncleDan: By definition.
Piecrust9: Kitty cat!
Andromeda7747: oh we have evil cat
collectangels: add mesmeric orb to punish untapping your planeswalkers
 RockPusher: Is not "Died to kitties" a true warriors way to go?
 accountmadeforants: @Lord_Hosk All permanents untap, untapping your permanents is non-negotiable (unless some other effect is preventing you from untapping a thing).

Ukon_Cairns: how do they continue the bit, where does ivora go next time?
shushu2539: isn't it a legendary octopus?
Ranakel: Could go to the exile zone with a syncopate
DylPage: Goes to the command zone
 Cptasparagus: @Ukon_Cairns to the coffee place
 kumatsu: gotta have your fancy bev, your hydrating bev, and your caffeinating bev
Piecrust9: Octopi dont have hands, silly Cori
 MrQBear: No, just arms, really. But there's a lot of arms.
 kumatsu: I fluctuate between 1 and 3
 kumatsu: I did get 3 at once a couple weeks ago cuz a new coffee place opened up and I wanted to try their menu
 accountmadeforants: Yeah, I need at least water to go with whatever my beverage is
 RockPusher: Poor water, being accused of dullness once again 
 BrowneePointz: truth be told constructed aggro decks are one of the hardest to pilot in high power formats

Piecrust9: It has an attack trigger
collectangels: no matter with what
Ranakel: Moral victory achieved
DAC169: 
Ranakel: Anyone else's eyes spontaneously unfocus when seeing a specialize creature enter?
 Cptasparagus: @Ranakel thats all of the potential realities loading
shushu2539: is the Panic button a new feature in MTGA?
Ranakel: Yeaaah. Yeah.
collectangels: Don't look my stuff!
collectangels: yes
 Cptasparagus: yup
Piecrust9: Yes
 kumatsu: all counters are type-agnostic
 NoxStryx: It do
 Bugberry: Yes
 Bugberry: Any permanent can have counters on them, they just tend to not do much with it.
 Cptasparagus: love is the battlefield
 Bugberry: !card Llanowar Reborn
  LRRbot: Llanowar Reborn | Land | This land enters tapped. / {T}: Add {G}. / Graft 1
collectangels: rude
DAC169: need to put flying counters on your EVERYTHING  
 Bugberry: Llanowar Reborn from Future Sight I remember being a land that just comes with a counter.
Ranakel: @DAC169 Step 1: luminous brootmoth. Step 2: wrath
DAC169: @Ranakel isn't that just your creatures though?
Piecrust9: Rip that solitude
Ranakel: Damn, you're right DAC
Piecrust9: Now sac that land for a card!
Piecrust9: Its three-animator shenanigans!
shushu2539: !break
  LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to.  Don't forget to wash your hands!
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: This is a good format for James, because the decks never have enough land.
shushu2539: reinforcements have arrived
 comrade_cards: James take the wheel
 comrade_cards: Love that song
Flyingdelorion: Hi James!
 Bugberry: Robby!
JinaMahavira: what a hit
 Bugberry: You can cast it later.
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: You can still play Atraxa later, if you attack with a rogue.
 BusTed: it's true, this has been established
 TheWriterAleph: moose is national treasure
 Bugberry: Robber of the Rich cares about other Rogues attacking.
 kumatsu: Robber can only Cast
 kumatsu: oh, alchemy Tajic summons Boros soldiers
 TheWriterAleph: "I don't know what's going on, but we're doing damage" -Typical RDW Enjoyer
 kumatsu: the bigger Tajic is the bigger the soldier he pops out
Ranakel: Lemme tell you, returning a week ago after not having played since Crimson Vow needed some catch-up
 Bugberry: I love all the different ways they've found to reward "excess damage"
 OldUncleDan: Alchemy:  If Middle Schoolers were allowed to design Magic cards.

 MegaDosX: Flooded Strand can get Sacred Foundry too
 Lord_Hosk: Clearly James is the better Boros pilot and you are a better whatever the heck other decks you played pilot
Mindfire13: Grabs shock and surveil lands
JinaMahavira: but is there a sacred foundry
 Bugberry: Shock lands and tri lands, yes.
chaostreader: the Jeskai Green deck is what I’ve been playing and it’s all about getting value.
 OldUncleDan: Sacred Foundry is fetchable.

More information can be found at https://DesertBus.org/ and twitch.tv/DesertBus
  Juliamon: !db countdown
  LRRbot: Desert Bus for Hope will begin at Fri 23 May 04:00 PM PDT (1d, 0:19 from now)
 Bruceski: The prerelease went too pre- and looped back around to the present day as Chaos.
 Bugberry: Galvanic discharge is also in this deck.
 MegaDosX: Make mouse big and punch with it?
 Lord_Hosk: swing with a 5/5
 MegaDosX: Oof
 Lord_Hosk: rude
Ranakel: Magic? More like Madgic.
Mai_Andra: Consider... does Magic make people mean?
 MegaDosX: Uh oh
Ranakel: More like Magic the... gathermean...
 MegaDosX: Kills one of the Prides
McMenno: yooo that's my deck
Ranakel: The horse eats cats?
 MegaDosX: I actually forgot about that lmao
 MegaDosX: The Emperor of Bones would have been able to recur the cat if you hadn't exiled it that way
 SquareDotCube: James has been busy digging holes (and falling into them)
chaostreader: the solitude is dying anyway.
 MegaDosX: Well all you need is a red card to ruin their day
chaostreader: red card or land.
chaostreader: !card emperor of bones
  LRRbot: Emperor of Bones [1B] | Creature — Skeleton Noble [2/2] | At the beginning of combat on your turn, exile up to one target card from a graveyard. / {1}{B}: Adapt 2. / Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on this creature, put a creature card exiled with this creature onto the battlefield under your control with a finality counter on it. It gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.
 MegaDosX: I mean, also fair
 MegaDosX: Either way Fury obliterates their cats
McMenno: kill pride shredder kill jace with vampire
 MegaDosX: !card fury
  LRRbot: Fury [3RR] | Creature — Elemental Incarnation [3/3] | Double strike / When this creature enters, it deals 4 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or planeswalkers. / Evoke—Exile a red card from your hand.
 Lord_Hosk: Kill the flyer, and the pride kill jace with your flyer
 MegaDosX: Yeah hit Shredder and Pride and then punch with vampire
 Bugberry: killing both ocelot and shredder might be good, as shredder can get bigger
 MegaDosX: No counters one time
 MegaDosX: You can basically just cast two of those this turn if you want
 Bruceski: it already adapted
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Adapt doesn't work if it already has counters on it.
 SolarBlitz1: Adaot needs no counters I think
 Bugberry: They can only adapt once
lordveus: Bowmasters is such a pain card.
 lirazel64: Rude, Jace.
 Diabore: i think we're dead boss
 lirazel64: Dum, dum, de-dum
McMenno: no wrath in this aggro deck no
 MegaDosX: That one isn't
McMenno: unfortunately armageddon isn't yet
Ranakel: Could have gone in time to get a nibelheim on fire in there prematurely
 Bugberry: Split Up would also work
 MegaDosX: Opponent is taking a lot of game actions here
 thaigeprime: Can I get a tax deduction for that gift
yakbop: oh wow I just tuned in and...is Brotherhoods End in this deck?
thesurfaceofthemoon: I like your outlook on life James
Ranakel: But what if they're meanies?
 MegaDosX: What's that saying? Maths is for...?
waywardrunt: "I think were alive :)" "mmm, no"
 thaigeprime: But math is for blockers James, and we were blocking!
 MegaDosX: Green pip because of DRS almost certainly
 Diabore: a pre relase extravaganza!
Ranakel: I didn't realize I was in the presence of ambassadors!
 GapFiller:  when does a FNPF become a NOTPPR
noSmokeFire: do you get magic diplomatic immunity?
 thaigeprime: Madness but respect
 Diabore: 8 hours of FF
Ranakel: @noSmokeFire If Mangara the Diplomat is to be believed, it's less immunity, and more card draw
EvilBadman: They replaced Graham with a plank of wood and stole his amulet.
 Earthenone: presumable graham
 MegaDosX: @Earthenone Imagine if they planned a bunch of Final Fantasy MTG content and then deliberately excluded Graham 
ContingentCat: !dbcountdown
  LRRbot: Desert Bus for Hope will begin at Fri 23 May 04:00 PM PDT (23:59 from now)
Ranakel: Idea during the break: play the integrality of all of the final fantasy. Part 2 should be ready for 2028.
 Dog_of_Myth: So much Magic, I feel spoiled
 Bugberry: I'll be in Europe the next two weeks, so the time zone difference is going to be weird to adjust to.
Ranakel: Speaking of touching all the cards, have you touched cards from the Final Fantasy TCG? They're plastic, they're weird but it's got a nice slidy feel to them. Very pleasant cards to touch unsleeved, actually
 Earthenone: 3 removals, 3 lands and half of a combo sounds good?
 Earthenone: they are really nice feeling
 JRandomHacker: Can set up by fetching surveils
 Bruceski: picking up these Gladiator decks after mostly playing Draft and starter decks felt like stepping out of a daily driver into a rally race.
 ElektroTal: probably a few grahams
Ranakel: Pfffhaha
 Lord_Hosk: 7 weight
 TimeToFry: Are we feeling lucky?
noSmokeFire: tungsten foil
 Earthenone: james, you want to search for lands that surveil to potentially put ig men in the yard
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Gambling? I'm in!
 BrowneePointz: Because it puts it in the bin
brucesky89: 5.5 grams
 bytecaster: Don't people usually use a land?
 BrowneePointz: JAMES
 MegaDosX: Because it's also an Entomb
 JRandomHacker: It's a tutor and/or an entomb
 TheWriterAleph: around 300 GSM
 ElektroTal: is this a cube?
 BrowneePointz: you don't want it in the hand
 BrowneePointz: you want to lose the flip
 BrowneePointz: and bin it
 thaigeprime: The classic
DAC169: MWM
 ghizmou: griseldad is a classic
 Bruceski: @ElektroTal Premade Gladiator decks for MWM
 thaigeprime: F
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: classic gamble 
 ghizmou: o7
 MegaDosX: lmao get got
DAC169: 
 TimeToFry: Possibly the worst hit we could've gotten
McMenno: that was the worst card
Flyingdelorion: black overlord?
 MegaDosX: OK well that has to go away
EvilBadman: Great job Fugi 
 MegaDosX: You can swampcycle the troll, find a land, kill the Emperor
 MrPipboy3000: That thing has to die.... its REAL bad
Ranakel: I hate it when the bone man comes for my magic cards
 Bugberry: Good thing you didn't give them something worth eating
 ghizmou: good thing we didn't discard our grizzy
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: you can do both if you tap right
 Diabore: you can cycle for a dual and molten
 MegaDosX: You could get a basic Swamp but this also works
 MegaDosX: There's probably Faithless Looting in this deck
DAC169: did James just admit to cheating in paper magic? D:
 TimeToFry: Could we not have reanimated the troll?
 JRandomHacker: If I post a link to this decklist, will my chat get zapped?
 MegaDosX: Yeah you could've
 MegaDosX: The Troll is kinda wild
 MegaDosX: It has super menace
EvilBadman: @dac169 How you think he doesn't flood in paper but always does in arena
 ghizmou: they do it all the time in legacy
Ranakel: I cheated a few times, but it was with cheatyface, or that one hidden trap from conspiracy, so it's legal cheating
 TimeToFry: Troll gets played in legacy, that means its good right
McMenno: @ghizmou not anymore
DAC169: @EvilBadman great point 
 Diabore: yes
 Bugberry: yes
 MegaDosX: They have to take Deluge if you Bowmasters
 ghizmou: no, they got rid of trolls ? @McMenno
McMenno: yeah it's banned
 ghizmou: oh right
 MegaDosX: OK well now they can take your Bowmasters 
DAC169: a 3/3? what?
 Bugberry: "I think you dropped this"
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: the edge case for playing the land untapped 
 MegaDosX: Yeah
 MegaDosX: Boon happens when you next cast
 MegaDosX: It tried to activate, no valid target, so it fizzled
 ghizmou: you cast a sorcery, you had no valid target, it fizzled
 JRandomHacker: And now we're set up for Geier Reach to loot away Griselbrand, then flashback the reanimate
Flyingdelorion: rite of moth triggered that but no valid target
 QuixoticScrivener: just a standard 6 sided card
 MegaDosX: Right click on it James
 Earthenone: baulders gate?
 ghizmou: dnd
 BrowneePointz: Baldur's Gate
 Lord_Hosk: Oh Cori... since no one answered for real real... 110 pound cardstock is pretty good for tokens
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: AFR
 MrQBear: @QuixoticScrivener Oh, that's how you get a cube, then?
 TimeToFry: That is a 6 sided card
 MegaDosX: It's from Historic Baldurs Gate
SeismicLawns: Baldur's Gate
 Bugberry: Baulder's Gate.
Nickiatori: Arena baldurs gate
 MegaDosX: Hey there Fomo
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: hmmm
 BrowneePointz: Yea. Since they couldn't do Commander for Baldur's Gate they did "historic" set Baldur's Gate
 ArcOfTheConclave: what? wow
 BrowneePointz: and yes that's THAT Shart
 SquareDotCube: big if true
 thaigeprime: It's actually her twin sister
 QuixoticScrivener: @MrQBear or half a d12
 Bugberry: Each of the Specializes is very similar to each other, just slightly different based on which color you choose.
 Lord_Hosk: I don't know what 110 pound is is Canadian cardstock
 MegaDosX: Maybe do that first? It'll live through a two life Deluge
 MegaDosX: You might draw another removal
SeismicLawns: If you can keep deluge that's probably good
 Bugberry: It was unfortunate how delays caused BG3 to come out so long after the BG set.
 MegaDosX: Oh hey there queen
Flyingdelorion: Lol
 thaigeprime: That's very funny
 control_rig: Player removal
 MrPipboy3000: Atraxa is player removal
DAC169: when on the field, yes 
 JRandomHacker: Untapped land gets us Griselbrand next turn
 bytecaster: But we don't want to mill the house!
 TheWriterAleph: @Lord_Hosk 300 GSM
 QuixoticScrivener: now, how to discard Atraxa
 JRandomHacker: @QuixoticScrivener Geier Reach loots
 thaigeprime: Where does 711 fit into this
 MegaDosX: @QuixoticScrivener Geier Reach Sanitarium, my guy
EvilBadman: 411 the Sax number
 MrPipboy3000: Is there a phone number I could call to get more info on Four Eleven?
 QuixoticScrivener: sorry chat, I failed to read lands
 MegaDosX: You can reanimate Gris now
 ghizmou: wait, we're the reanimator deck, wht are they doing,
Flyingdelorion: Valgavoth time!
McMenno: well luckily they cast their spells in the wrong order
 MegaDosX: And they still can't block your Troll
Flyingdelorion: yes
 thaigeprime: Do we have delirium?
 bytecaster: Griselbrand or Bowmasters, tough choice
Flyingdelorion: at instant speed by the way!
 MegaDosX: Opponent is in a significant amount of trouble right now
 MegaDosX: They can't 
 bytecaster: What about second Griselbrand
DAC169: just got to target it with something 
 MrQBear: but if you swing with everything, they can't block it all ' <'
 nevyn666: remember when phas image was a removal spell.
 Diabore: what if we draw 7 though
 bytecaster: Lurrus going meow is never not funny to me
 MrQBear: oh nevermind now they can block everything. sad.
 MegaDosX: All you need is removal for their Gris and you win
 QuixoticScrivener: draw time
 nevyn666: ah. old legendary rules.
McMenno: drawing a removal spell does it
 MegaDosX: Life is a resource James
 TimeToFry: We draw here right
 Earthenone: we have 8 draws
 bytecaster: Big croc!
 bytecaster: Nice!
DAC169: play that!!
 JRandomHacker: That'll do it!
SeismicLawns: Oh you win
 Bugberry: stab stab stab
 MegaDosX: Need triple black yeah
 bytecaster: Oh no
 nevyn666: you need 1 more black
 TimeToFry: Draw 7 cards!
 bytecaster: Hubris!
 MrPipboy3000: draw 7?
SeismicLawns: Oh NO!
Flyingdelorion: draw removal and win
DAC169: NNOOOO!!!! 
 JRandomHacker: Push is good enough
 bytecaster: But we can kill gris
 TheWriterAleph: 
Ranakel: Oh noooo
 MegaDosX: You can kill Gris with Swords
EvilBadman: Just don't attack the have life link
 MegaDosX: Since it sacrifices when targeted
 Bugberry: solitude too
 lamina5432: kill their grisle?
 JRandomHacker: Push kills Griselbrand because it's a Phantasmal Image
 TheWriterAleph: sword it!
 SolarBlitz1: Swords and swing?
 EOstby: You push the Image'd Grisel and win.
SeismicLawns: Sword
 nevyn666: cast swords on it.
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: it has extra text
 nevyn666: image dies
 bytecaster: Swords to Plowshares
Flyingdelorion: swords the other griselbrand and win
 MegaDosX: It sacrifices when targeted
EvilBadman: Swords
 MegaDosX: Swords will fizzled they won't gain life
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: It's phantasmal image. It dies before your spell resolves.
 nevyn666: it sacs on target
 Lord_Hosk: its a toke it has no mana
 Diabore: read their griselbrand
 e_bloc: swords your own troll and draw 7
 QuixoticScrivener: could have fatal pushed it
Flyingdelorion: GG!
 bytecaster: But no croc, sad 
 ElektroTal: op was probably like, homie, i was dobs
 TheWriterAleph: 
 MegaDosX: Griselbrand is a nightmare of a card lmao
redpandrake:  gg but no crocodile this time
DAC169: it's an Alchemy mythic
 MegaDosX: It's basically Massacre Wurm but Alchemy
 RatherLargeToad: Stabity Croc
SeismicLawns: Fun fact: push also would have worked there for the same reason
 nevyn666: thats in every black brawl deck i run
 e_bloc: what are you gonna do, stab me?
 TimeToFry: Achievement get?
Nickiatori: ooh achievment get!
EvilBadman: The Phantom Pain
 bytecaster: If you get phantom buzz, talk to a doctor near you!
 ElektroTal: I just rewatched Macross Plus on Hulu and it turns out? still the best
 BrowneePointz: from what i've heard is it's some hard source material TO adapt, and it's doing an admirable job
 ArdCollider: I am a non-Murderbot reader with a Murderbot hardcore fan in the house and we are both happy with it.
 ElektroTal: Tilda Swinton?
 Cptasparagus: its 2025 one of the Skarsgards had to be in it
goldreaver: this gladiator event is great I could play with a lot of decks I never played with. Arena Canadian highlander is more fun than I thought
 BrowneePointz: so Gwyendolyn Christie
 ElektroTal: she can break my spine any time
 QuixoticScrivener: @BrowneePointz oh your god yes
 BrowneePointz: Gwen is when you need Femme-Andro but Buff
 BrowneePointz: Tilda is when you need Femme-Andro and Lithe
 Earthenone: !time
  LRRbot: Current moonbase time:  4:20 PM
DAC169: we gonna Toxic Deluge for 1?
Rgontownik: bin Titan
 MegaDosX: Deluge for 1 is very funny
 bytecaster: Surely we are keeping the croc to fulfill our destiny from the last game!
Rgontownik: land and deluge sounds great
 QuixoticScrivener: @BrowneePointz Tilda as Gabriel in Constantine
 MegaDosX: Delta for a swamp and Toxic Deluigi
 thaigeprime: Maybe just push? Do you need to deluge right now?
DAC169: deluge gets 2, push only 1
 MegaDosX: Timer ran out
 bytecaster: Just push it, push it real good!
 bytecaster: Rude!
 thaigeprime: Yeah but what's the 3/1 doing on this board is my point @dac169
 Earthenone: that bird has a job
 bytecaster: You know what they say "Push that burning bird"
 MegaDosX: Discard a card, seek an instant or sorcery
 nevyn666: library
 QuixoticScrivener: croc?
 MegaDosX: Crocodile
 bytecaster: Not our Croc!"
 MegaDosX: A reanimate
 bytecaster: Okay, I'll allow it
 Bugberry: just as intended
 Earthenone: 3 mana value
 Diabore: cant push
 QuixoticScrivener: mv
 bytecaster: mana value 3
 MegaDosX: Three mana value
superdude097: MV 3
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: It costs 3, and you haven't revolted.
 MegaDosX: Push is two or less without Revolt
goldreaver: CMC 3
 Bugberry: it's 3 mana value, you don't have revolt
 Earthenone: ~whichmember
 Diabore: no revolt
Flyingdelorion: Mv 3
 Diabore: its scarier in bin right now
 bytecaster: The croc will stab the phoenix
 MegaDosX: @bytecaster Nobody's ever said that before
superdude097: What decks have you tried so far?
goldreaver: All of those alchemy discard effects like Specialize would be great with madness cards
 Earthenone: shangri-la is so fun
 bytecaster: @MegaDosX That is the highest accolade I could receive!
 nevyn666: shangri la is my current fave anime.
 bytecaster: Oh, ShanFro!
 BrowneePointz: patiently waiting for Dandadan season 2
 OldUncleDan: James, do you follow the PWHL at all?  Seattle and Vancouver are getting expansion teams for next season!
 BrowneePointz: and enjoying the 2nd half of One Piece Egghead
 Sethalidos: SLF is amazing
 MegaDosX: You could also have gotten Ashen Rider to exile the phoenix but this also works
 bytecaster: Everybody be Gquuuuuuxing
 lamina5432: I'm behind on all of those
 Cptasparagus: GQuuuuuux is way better than I expected
 OldUncleDan: As an aside...  Go Frost!
 thaigeprime: Surprised opp didn't block but I guess they want the draw triggers
 nevyn666: residents was very fun show. perfect cast.
 BrowneePointz: Oh yea first time with James in a while. James I was SO shocked at how GOOD Thunderbolts was
DAC169: @thaigeprime also, block the croc
 MegaDosX: You can push Basri
DAC169: push Basri? yes
 Lord_Hosk: Does Victoria have any professional sports teams?  (minor league of course)
 Bruceski: Sant and Peppa this thing
 MegaDosX: Now that's a good draw
 Bruceski: Huh, that's how Bestow works?
 bytecaster: That is how it works
 MegaDosX: @Bruceski Yep, if something is Bestowed and the creature is killed, the Bestowed thing falls off as a creature
 bytecaster: To make it less of a feel bad
 QuixoticScrivener: @Bruceski sort of mutaty
DAC169: @Bruceski I keep forgetting that too 
 lamina5432: does BC have a esports arena?
 MegaDosX: You can also exile the Phoenix and it never comes back
 thaigeprime: It has flash could just hold it
 QuixoticScrivener: has flash
 MrPipboy3000: you can also stop the pheonix from coming back
 bytecaster: Does BC have a Beyblade arena?
 Earthenone: the moonbase is basicly an esports arena
 Earthenone: so many pro gamers under one roof
 Bugberry: Phoenix can come back
 bytecaster: Not from exile, right?
 Bruceski: exile
 Bugberry: not from exile though
 MegaDosX: The Phoenix would not have come back if you Solituded it
 MegaDosX: It's basically Swords on a body
 MegaDosX: AH
 Earthenone: Phlightning helix?
 MegaDosX: Opponent can't escape it yet though fortunately
 MegaDosX: Dismember the bird and punch?
superdude097: Dismember Phoenix kills them
 ghizmou: that s lethal
DAC169: dismember the bird, attack for 9
 MrPipboy3000: prowess, thats dead on board
 bytecaster: Prowess
 MegaDosX: Yeah they die
 Diabore: how many cards are in their bin?
 MegaDosX: Absent removal they die here
 Diabore: oh yeah that then
 ghizmou: yay we helped
 bytecaster: It's an alchemy card, nobody remembers
 MegaDosX: Their own Solitude would also do it
 bytecaster: That croc is gonna feel so alone
 Diabore: oh this might be really bad
 MegaDosX: Conjured copies
 QuixoticScrivener: conjure!
 bytecaster: It does!
 Bugberry: Just like Gunk
 bytecaster: That's why it's alchemy
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: just alchemy things
 MrPipboy3000: Yea, the croc is nuts
 thaigeprime: If they manage to escape that phlage it's gonna be a bad time
 nevyn666: alchemy is silly
 JRandomHacker: You can cast those if you have a Lurrus!
DAC169: Alchemy actually makes the cards 
 MegaDosX: I mean you can just cast the elephant
 Diabore: thats something
 bytecaster: Elephant is neat, but I miss croc
 Diabore: op back to dobs
 bytecaster: What about Croc 2 though?
 Diabore: to 1 now?
DAC169: imagine: elephant AND croc

 QuixoticScrivener: careful, phlage
 ghizmou: kill how?
 lirazel64: King James has vast tracts of land...
 Diabore: no, more cards in bin is bad for phalge
 MegaDosX: They can't escape it yet
 bytecaster: I don't think it makes sense to trade
 MegaDosX: They need another white source and two more cards in the yard
 MrPipboy3000: @ghizmou trading ... they have to block
 QuixoticScrivener: if you attack, they trade, and phlage
 MegaDosX: They need five plus Phlage
 Bugberry: Phage is one of those 4 cards though
 MegaDosX: Oh they're dead
 QuixoticScrivener: bazinga
 Earthenone: ohh we win
 bytecaster: Phlage to face!

 Diabore: thats good for us, deathrite ruins them

 bytecaster: We did win
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: got there
DAC169: for any event where they provide the decks, you can't play against your own deck
 lamina5432: gg
 Bugberry: That deck looks cool though
Flyingdelorion: Hello highlights!
  RayFK: Esper three?
 Earthenone: new premier lands pilot just crowned, (and retired)
superdude097: Control? I built it so I could help :>
 bytecaster: Three-animator?
 BrowneePointz: James doesn't think
 BrowneePointz: he pick up big brick
 BrowneePointz: and him swing
 bytecaster: I'm sure it's gonna be a normal deck
 Bugberry: Selesnya midrange normal?
 Bruceski: @DAC169 You sure about that? Pretty sure my mono-black fought a Mono-Black.
joeks3303: helllooo
 bytecaster: Great hand, ship it
 lamina5432: @bytecaster probs the spells that reanimate 3 cost cards
 Bugberry: I think every Gladiator deck is going to be overwhelming with the land choices.
graal_smith: @bytecaster Ship it wiht who?
 RatherLargeToad: long loooong game
 bytecaster: @graal_smith DHL
joeks3303: I built the Mardu Reanimator deck so I could help too!
 lamina5432: do you know the characters they are playing?
joeks3303: sweet!
 bytecaster: The Slay the Spire board game adaption is really good!
 JRandomHacker: I helped _pick_ the decks but built absolutely zero of them
 Earthenone: i assume one of them will be pondering their orbs
 ghizmou: serge is the silent for sure
 bytecaster: The orbs are a lot of fun!
graal_smith: @bytecaster Which Anime are they from?
 Lord_Hosk: I built the Black Red Flashback deck... its only good if you get a very very specific draw.
 lamina5432: that would fit
DAC169: @Bruceski yes, I am sure
 bytecaster: @graal_smith Germany
 e_bloc: neither of the bens know how to be silent 
 Earthenone: !birb
  LRRbot: Stretch out your neck!
Flyingdelorion: Flying Bill!
 bytecaster: We should mock it! It's in the name
Flyingdelorion: Billbirb?
 bytecaster: Meow!
 Earthenone: yeah, the Cactuar
 Earthenone: 
 bytecaster: But is there a type of cactus that gets +1/+1 counters in real life?
 ghizmou: are you thinking of a hedgehog?
 BusTed: 
 GapFiller: might be a type of prickly pear
 bytecaster: Porcupine?
Flyingdelorion: go fast?
 SolarBlitz1: Eat chillidogs?
ContingentCat: go fast?
 EJGRgunner: Hedgehogs? They gotta go fast
 Bugberry: There are trees with exploding bark
DAC169: there is a cactus called the "jumping cactus"
theamc2000: which one of you is “the gathering”
 bytecaster: There is so many words on these cards
 JRandomHacker: Gearhulk, get Guide of Souls, go off next turn?
 SquareDotCube: they hedge hogs, not hedge bets
Flyingdelorion: Gearhulk?
 Earthenone: guide lets your kitty meow
McMenno: @JRandomHacker nah this guy knows nothing about gladiator
Flyingdelorion: shaman?
 bytecaster: Can't block anything anyway
DAC169: you can't block anything
 bytecaster: "I believe we play it" is a good start
 bytecaster: Birb!
 Earthenone: ok, we have a bird, does the oponent have a bolt
 JRandomHacker: I _think_ it was based on the decks we sent to WotC from the people who brewed them
goldreaver: I'm at the right side of the 'bolt the bird' gaus bell atm
superdude097: What did they exile?
 bytecaster: I can never go "amped" in a loud voice inside my head when I see that raptor
 atinyspacemarine: oh cool there is in fact sound lmao
 bytecaster: *never not
 atinyspacemarine: The jaunty soviet music from my game was covering up the "hmm"ing
ContingentCat: just listen to the heart of the cards
 Earthenone: remember the saying Kruphix before land, serge wont be mad
 MegaDosX: The duplicate is if you kick it
DAC169: no. if you kick it you duplicate from OP's graveyard

 Earthenone: i would block because i have no idea what the mystic is doing going forward
 Earthenone: they already have 2 ewnergon cubes
 Diabore: nothing useful i think
 control_rig: Mood
 Lord_Hosk: Go to subscriber step
goldreaver: I do not fear death, I fear a life not worth living. And alchemy only mechanics
 Diabore: thats why we save mystic, to trade with a stupid monkey
 paulthemapguy: first is like step, then comment step, then subscriber step
 Earthenone: dino will kill us before dog dies
