    Thanks for being such a great channel through the years, lessons I’ve learned from this channel over the years.
    -the little things mean a lot
    -data aggregation and point qualifiers matter a lot
    -you don’t have to follow trends to create something important
    -how to recognize notoriously powerful cards
    -magic is interesting and each card to see competitive play has a story to tell
    Hope you get some really wonderful bird related gifts this year! This channel matters to me.

    I might just not care much about Elves, but I couldn't predict the #1 despite it being entirely obvious. Almost as obvious as this request for "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)".
    I hope everyone had a great year and spent time with their families! I don't celebrate Christmas since I'm a Muslim, and my mum doesn't celebrate it religiously because she doesn't think it was Jesus (pbuh)'s birthday, but we still had presents and food.

      @@andygoody2599 It's still generally not a good thing to actively celebrate it as a Muslim, since it's celebrating a holiday that is officially still linked to something we Muslims 100% reject (the birth of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as the "Son of God" directly contradicts Islam). My Sheik basically said "You can join in celebrations, but don't wish people Merry Christmas or initiate festivities." I think he's right.

    I have an outdated full-powered legacy elves deck, i need to update it. Apparently current lists are maindeck mono green, but play fetchlands and duals to enable a multi-colored sideboard. I have all the cards, but i have luxury problems, i prefer my Dual Lands to be black bordered, and i have trouble deciding if the Cradles should be Foil, or Japanese or traditional or simplified chinese. I am also a bit short on foil Onslaught fetchlands. Korean reserved list apparently got hit by a buyout and is pretty much unobtainable right now. Pay attention to French, Italian and German black-bordered Dual Lands, these look amazing, better than Beta, and seem to be recently outperforming english Unlimited. Only peasants play revised Duals, these look ugly.

    Um Christmas elves are not a thing. It comes from the term elf being applied to anything supernatural. Elves in fantasy are fusions of Norse elves, or alfar, and the Celtic sidhe and are a product of Tolkien. There is zero affiliation between Fantasy Elves and Christmas.
