I thought people were joking when they said Mark never picked up squirrels while complaining about card costs. Its not even like he forgot, he hovered over squirrels every turn.
I'll give him the benifit of the doubt he was just curious about what his whole deck is, rather than picking a boring squirrel. Otherwise, if he ignore the rules *that* much shows he didn't respect/enjoy the game at all.
Mark: I cannot play any of these cards, they are too expensive of a blood cost. Also Mark: refuses to pick up the squirrels to sacrifice for blood costs.
So many times! "Man I wish I had something to play." Draw a squirrel! You need to sacrifice them to play! My yelling didn't help him any. He still chose not to draw a squirrel.
I mean, if Mark demonstrated a bit more competence in this part, yeah he would have... but he didn't understand how to play cards... or read, as demonstrated by the Warren card. It specifically says *A* rabbit, not "this card will continually give you rabbit cards every turn."
for anyone wondering. its because the challenger dealt more damage than the host did every round assuming they chump blocked with squirrels, which they would be able to do until they won the game assumes a certain degree of competence and resources. it is entirely possible to lose after he offers surrender because you dont have the resources the game assumes you do

I love how in this game, the antagonist is just basically a DM who wants someone to play their game but has the stakes too high and ends up forcing people to play the game.

I like how Jack plotted everything out, planned ahead, and used strategy on the first boss. But couldn't beat him. Mark just yeets himself at the board twice and wins.
He gives the cat, who can't attack, the poison that can kill anything when he could have given the adder the ability of the cat to be sacrificed indefinitely while maintaining the attack capability.
Favorite moment by far was Mark automatically smiling for the camera then looking so crestfallen whe the game immediately was like "you don't need to smile"
It's just like those ads for those horrible mobile games they show you very bad gameplay so you feel obligated to download the game yourself and do it the right way
He’s killing me with his mistakes, I am physically in pain and my mind keeps screaming at me to stop watching because of the many mistakes, please help me
As someone who loves TCG's, in particular, Magic, watching Mark not look at the rule book and NOT DRAW FUCKING SQUIRRELS is dealing me psychic damage. Mark ilysm please... Please just pay attention.
I watched this video first, then the Jacksepticeye video that released afterward and when he started looking at the book (I’m not a resource card gamer, and know not of such) I was like SEAN THIS WAS AN OPTION???? PLEASE TEXT MARK AND TELL HIM
@@Oshacompliantshibari you're watching it wrong... if you watch Mark and the grumps for their gaming skills and not the D club stories, you're doing it wrong. Don't worry we're all incompetent at something, you're incompetence is at watching videos.
@@tophermeeks5591 It was so painful I stopped watching. This was probably one of the worse videos from Markiplier and that makes me sad. Repeating things can be funny, too many times loses the humour, though it is entirely subjective of course.
the cockroach is quite expensive to play more than once sue to its 4 bone cost, so i would say the skink would also be a good option cause tail do be whacky sometime
Can we all just appreciate how the voice mark gave for the creepy monster. It fits the character perfectly. Even the tone of the voice with certain lines. It really felt like the voice was part of the game.
Jack: *plans, wins, discovers the subplot and advances in the story very fast* Mark: *the same but by complete accident* I like the completely different playthroughs they are doing xD
I feel like Mark treated this more like a horror game than he did a card game. Admittedly, it's got strong elements in both genres, but it's clear which one Mark's more of an expert at, lol.
There's def a lot of youtubers that make me want to do that. It makes me wonder what games he's really into, like his darkwood series makes me think he really liked it. Then you have this game where it seems he's just playing it play it
Mark, quite literally, has had the worst start to this game I have ever seen, which is amazing considering he managed to surpass the Prospector. Also why won’t he draw a damn squirrel card T_T
This is the same man that in this video got told what rabbit hole did and then somehow in the span of 5 seconds took it to mean that it gave him infinite rabbits
Considering he regularly forgets things shown in many game tutorials, or even things shown to him to do within minutes, it is not a surprise. But it makes things funny in their own way.
@@CatCatCat19 well you kinda don't need to play the game to feel the pain, any basic understanding to a card game with sacrifices/resources will give enough pain watching this vid. I've only played MtG for a short bit in college and just the basic rules from that game is enough to inform me how much missplays was made in this vid.
@@zemog_oil I mean, even then certain monsters can't be played without sacrificing others that are on the board, others can be fused to become an entirely different stronger monster.... There's still quite a fair amount of resource management in Yu-Gi-Oh, even if it isn't as major as other collectible card game.
This series holds a special place in my heart not for a very normal way at least i dont think so. This series came out whilst i was transitioning from AIT to my first duty station and I had only watched this episode whilst i was in processing and i remember this great deal of sadness as i was on my own for the first time in my life in a part of the country i had never been in before far away from the people i knew. Especially with this series being so close to Thanksgiving/ Christmas it was especially sad but I would come home from doing whatever paperwork I had to do or gear i had to get to a empty barracks room with nothing but a laptop and 2 duffle bags worth of stuff but just to feel that sense of almost home i would watch these videos watching the snow fall outside before finally falling asleep and it made life a lot less depressing while i was watching these videos so thanks mark for always being there, i also use these videos to gauge just how long I've been here so now im at 2 months and some change. Anyways if you read this i appreciate it. Sorry for the grammatical errors its 2 in the morning and im on my phone.
Actually really difficult seeing Mark just NOT get Squirrels. If you don't know by now, the entire loop of the game is to draw squirrels so you have a means to summon your actual cards.
@@xaviercreed2300 At that point in the game they're the only reliable way to summon attack/defense creatures lol the game has a pretty standard gameplay loop: Draw squirrels, summon, draw squirrels, summon. Problem is, Mark wasn't drawing any Squirrels at all and just summon creatures, meaning he either wouldn't be able to summon or he would have to sacrifice attack creatures just to summon an attack creature that probably wouldn't be more of a benefit.
Mark, you need to remember you can draw squirrels in the second pile... You can place multiple sacrificial creatures (squirrels, rabbits, etc) and sacrifice them all in one turn. Just drawing creatures keeps screwing you over because you have nothing to sacrifice to summon them.
Game: Literally just draw a single squirrel or draw 10 creatures that require sacrifices. Mark: **Hand full of 6 wolves, 3 ants, and a stoat** Damn, this game hard.
I felt like he was understanding the game, and then he got to the "mini game boards" for extra cards. Then he just ignored the squirrel deck for the rest of the video
Hey, just saying, the creator of this game also made Pony Island, which Mark played a couple of years ago. That's why he recognized the developers icon :)
Idk i feel like Jack understood the game much better than mark. Like combining cards, drawing squirrels, PUTTING THE CARDS WHERE HE WONT GET ATTACKED INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BEING ON THE OFFENSE. Yk, the whole card aspect of it
@@veethorn don’t worry this wasn’t supposed to be hostile, I just thought was funny, but this was my first time I had watched inscription, I love mark, but he was being kind of a silly fella with not using squirrels, even as a non-player I could see that from just the 45 minutes of the video that far
@@DeepFriedChumChum YEA NO WORRIES sorry if i came off strong, I was more so mad at the other person saying "idiocy" 😭 some people here forget that he was a beginner trying to learn how to play the game correctly, nothing against you though sorry!!
I think the worst part is if he decides to just sit down and look through the game for 5 minutes, he'll know exactly how to beat it. And that anonys me as much as watching him make th esimple mistakes. Cause he is a good gamer, he's just blissfully ignorant going into new games, and I envy that cause I wish i could blindly jump into a game without a care in the world and enjoy it to this degree. But it'll be interesting to see him stumble his way through it untill he decides to attempt to fully do a strategic playthrough
the actual rage I feel when seeing mark with the wolf pelt and not putting it down or even just drawing a creature rather than a bloody squirrel has never been so real to me until this moment in time.
I literally just yelled at my tv "OMG PICK A FREAKING SQUIRELL MARK!! THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON!" Its so funny to watch people play this because you can immediately tell who has played a few deck building games before and who hasn't really lol
@@obi-wancanoli2926 oh it totally is lol I usually don't, I guess I just got that frustrated🤣 I did take a deep breath and calmed down, didn't yell after that just laughed mostly
SO glad Mark Is covering this game, honestly might consider It game of the year out of the games I've played myself! So hyped to see how Mark tackles It! :D
My service dog was so confused as to why I was shouting "Squirrels!" We are traveling right now and I realized he was looking everywhere for his Squirrel toys and getting sad he couldn't find them for me.
I'm sitting here dying as this man refuses to draw. I admit that I haven't played much MtG, but I grew up watching my brothers play and I just could not handle his lack of resource managment!
The physical pain i felt when mark wouldn’t read what the sigils meant, wouldn’t draw squirrels and just honestly ignored common sense when playing this game was torture. still fun tho😂 (Yo why are so many people liking this😆 thanks y’all)
Sammmee I've never even played this game before and it was like torture watching that little book show up when he hovered over the card symbols and he'd go "what does this mean?!" But not click on it💔💔
Yeah ... Fire: Says *exactly* what it does Mark: "Yea I don't think it does what it says it does" Fire: Does exactly what it says it does Me: * facepalm *
Tbh the most my brain hurt was when he made a zero damage creature meant for sacrificing poisonous when he coulda made his six health turtle poisonous and basically a stone wall that can’t be killed or survived.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. But I love Mark's Let's Plays because he will absolutely play a game wrong and still somehow win in the end.
Mark's disregard in picking up squirrel cards and still win as many matches as he did by luck, baffles me. 1 of the two deaths was won by the guy surrendering and the 2nd was thanks to the pack mule that he finally killed and got a good booster pack. R.i.p that sentient card as well, at least he was freed from the locked safe for about a match or two lol. Mark if you're reading this by chance, don't be afraid to use the squirrels as needed meat shields as well. Could save you a turn or two for Heart Of The Cards draws.
the game at minute 43:45 was the most painful ive ever witnessed, his inability to see the logic of pulling a squirrel or placing a pelt was honestly mind boggling, it was borderline worthy of study how absurd that was
Literally any intelligent human being ever: Reads over the ability of any unknown special card to strategize how it should be used Mark: Literally randomly guessing what every special card ability is and getting suprised every time he doesn't get it right
LOL yeah that's the youtuber way of playing. It's like skipping tutorials and complaining about the game later on. But like what Raven said, a different way of learning I suppose...unless his channel is much smaller then I doubt someone will excuse him for that. Plus I am still entertained with his vids anyway.
Looking back at this serie I wasn't expecting at all markplier to get into this game and finish all the acts, I am truly happy he enjoyed the game it its entirety

I was hoping Mark would give the stoat the cats ability. It is nice that he acknowledges it though.
Favorite moment by far was Mark automatically smiling for the camera then looking so crestfallen whe the game immediately was like "you don't need to smile"
This man is excellent at sales driving. He frustrates the audience into buying the game to competently beat themselves.
*I literally just checked the store page and debated it for this exact reason*
For me it was watching Mark play Slime Rancher 😅
Holy shit you read my mind
It's just like those ads for those horrible mobile games they show you very bad gameplay so you feel obligated to download the game yourself and do it the right way
Considering how significantly he improved, yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he did that at the start.
That stinky card thingy : "Hello :)"
Mark: "Sacrifice!"
That physically hurt, for real
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Mark: *gives the immortal cat the ability to instakill enemies
Also Mark: *Doesn't give the cat the ability to deal damage*
Yeah I was staring at the screen with a furrowed brow, thinking about that the whole time
He just makes the wrong move every time. Every single move he makes such a bad decision. Now I'm invested to see him grow out of it
😭

Hmmm salty tears, cry some more xD
@@raptros 🤡
He always complains about the card costs being too high but never chooses rabbits 😭
it physically hurts me to watch mark make this game harder on himself by not drawing SQUIRRELS
PLS YES and somehow he still manages to get through the game
He’s killing me with his mistakes, I am physically in pain and my mind keeps screaming at me to stop watching because of the many mistakes, please help me
Every single RUclipsr I've watched play this game keeps stubbornly making that mistake through the whole game. It's so frustrating
Like I have never seen this man so oblivious to game mechanics it's kinda crazy
@@eeeeee8762 nooo bro I'm RIGHT THERE it HURTS to watch this, especially having been a YuGiOh player AND a MTG player.
13:14 I never noticed that until now, theres a skeleton hand on the right side of the safe, and it hides when you approach it.
Holy shit! I'd never noticed that before either and now I'm haunted
As someone who loves TCG's, in particular, Magic, watching Mark not look at the rule book and NOT DRAW FUCKING SQUIRRELS is dealing me psychic damage. Mark ilysm please... Please just pay attention.
Mark has contracted Gamegrumpitis, a disease effecting youtube gamers wherein one loses the ability to comprehend games with more than one mechanic
I watched this video first, then the Jacksepticeye video that released afterward and when he started looking at the book (I’m not a resource card gamer, and know not of such) I was like SEAN THIS WAS AN OPTION???? PLEASE TEXT MARK AND TELL HIM
@@Oshacompliantshibari you're watching it wrong... if you watch Mark and the grumps for their gaming skills and not the D club stories, you're doing it wrong. Don't worry we're all incompetent at something, you're incompetence is at watching videos.

TCGs?

squirrels: finally, inner peace
Sacrifices mustn't be made
god this makes me angy
This stressed me out to no end xD
@@tophermeeks5591 It was so painful I stopped watching. This was probably one of the worse videos from Markiplier and that makes me sad. Repeating things can be funny, too many times loses the humour, though it is entirely subjective of course.
@@alastairstuart5800 it’s not that big of a deal lmao
It hurt me physically that he didn't give the bunny effect to the cockroach, the card that can be played multiple times in succession.
the cockroach is quite expensive to play more than once sue to its 4 bone cost, so i would say the skink would also be a good option cause tail do be whacky sometime
He wouldn’t use his squirrels
Could also be for the ouroboros though he doesn’t have it yet
Mark: IM SCREWED
Me: MAYBE YOU WOULDNT BE IF YOU GOT SOME SQUIRLLES
Anyone else develop an irrevocable emotional attachment to Stoat the second he was revealed as sentient? No? Just me?
Yeah it was a pretty quick attachment for me
Yea same
Extremely attached and then extreme pain
It is a false friend, yes, but the stinkbug is much worse.
@@Depressed_Spider I played through the whole game, personally I like the stink bug because it compliments you if you make a good play
Can we all just appreciate how the voice mark gave for the creepy monster. It fits the character perfectly. Even the tone of the voice with certain lines. It really felt like the voice was part of the game.
and the way he can switch between the character voices too is pretty neat
I'm surprised the creators didn't hire him to provide a voice for the narrator
It's just a guy though, not a monster.
@@bipitybop_ no, its Leshy(russian forest demon)

Jack: *plans, wins, discovers the subplot and advances in the story very fast*
Mark: *the same but by complete accident*
I like the completely different playthroughs they are doing xD
I love jack couldn’t win the boss battle by carefully planning and mark somehow did in the second try
you say playthrough like jack actually made a second video
So Jack is Yugi and Mark is Joey (if you get the reference congratulations)
mark’s voice for leshy is leshy’s canon voice
Dang bro, it seems you've been selected by robots.
It really do be a bot moment
P03 wants to know your location
@muhammaddaddau get out of here PO3
lol woah came back after a year and all i see are bot corpses wtf happened down here
It still feels really strange every time Mark references Unus Annus.
Like an undiscovered relic he happened to know of
Whats a yellowool doing here
It's really nice though to have experienced it. Those videos made 2020 a lot more bearable!! Lots of laughs
hi yello im big fan of u, kier, dev and boosfer :)
He references what? Strangely, I can't remember
Mark: we have to attack the pack mule
also mark: **puts cards in every other lane**
That hade weak lmao 🤣
I feel like Mark treated this more like a horror game than he did a card game. Admittedly, it's got strong elements in both genres, but it's clear which one Mark's more of an expert at, lol.
"Expert" is a strong word..... but yeah.
Mark: "yeah, Memento Mori to you too"
Me: *chokes on air for two minutes*
I wanna play this game so that I can draw a lot of squirrel cards which will help me heal myself internally.
NO BECAUSE SAME, I LOVE MARK BUT THIS HURTS😭
Mark: Actively sabotages himself
Also Mark: Gets past second boss on second try.
First boss*
Hes so stupid but smart that it's genius.
The definition of Fail Faster
Comments: Mark made a lot of bad choices
Me: I don't get it, he just lost his infinite cat!
Mark: *sacrifices a talking card to the Warden*
Me: I see
I literally screamed when mark chose a rabbit hole instead of his own overpowered card
Watching Mark endlessly draw anything but squirrel cards is probably the most infuriating experience I have had all week.
For real, every time he picked up a card from his deck instead of a squirrel card is so annoying
I was dying everytime he mentioned not being able to play anything but still pulling from his deck
I thought i was the only one, glad others noticed lol
it makes me empathize with the murderer guy fr like if i saw people doin that in a game i set up id go crazy too
Not gonna lie, I feel like he could've enchanted his Stoat alot better, and payed more attention to what the cards were going to do.
The fact that Mark makes so many weird choices that had me metaphorically pulling at my hair makes me want to play the game and do it "right" lmao
@@annoyanceking LITERALLY! I was screaming when he didn't do that, it would have fixed one of his mistakes and made that card pretty good actually!
"Weird" is a funny synonym for horrendous.
That’s how they make you download mobile games with those stupid fucking ads
There's def a lot of youtubers that make me want to do that. It makes me wonder what games he's really into, like his darkwood series makes me think he really liked it. Then you have this game where it seems he's just playing it play it
Mark has reached the apex of his development as a human and content creator, where any game with more than one mechanic is too complicated.
LMAO
Mark has contracted GameGrumpitis
Mark is now a game journalist
Can we just talk about the creepy cadence he immediately slipped into when doing the lines for his opponent? I swear, it fits so well
"But do keep your hands off my possessions."
Mark: *TOUCHES EVERYTHING*
Mark, quite literally, has had the worst start to this game I have ever seen, which is amazing considering he managed to surpass the Prospector. Also why won’t he draw a damn squirrel card T_T
This is the same man that in this video got told what rabbit hole did and then somehow in the span of 5 seconds took it to mean that it gave him infinite rabbits
I havent even played Inscryption but seeing him not pull a squirrel was extremely painful
@@ShadeTavish If he put it on the cockroach he could have made a pseudo-infinite rabbit farm
Considering he regularly forgets things shown in many game tutorials, or even things shown to him to do within minutes, it is not a surprise. But it makes things funny in their own way.
@@CatCatCat19 well you kinda don't need to play the game to feel the pain, any basic understanding to a card game with sacrifices/resources will give enough pain watching this vid.
I've only played MtG for a short bit in college and just the basic rules from that game is enough to inform me how much missplays was made in this vid.
I don't think Mark has ever played a resource based card game in his entire life lmfao
tbh I don't think I've ever seen him play one before. he's...doing better than I could, though. I cannot understand card games for the life of me.
Who has? I didn't even know about those until mark played it
@@raptros ...what? I feel like basically every single collectible card game is resource based lol
@@Doubler_Z I would like to introduce to you something called Yu-Gi-Oh...
@@zemog_oil I mean, even then certain monsters can't be played without sacrificing others that are on the board, others can be fused to become an entirely different stronger monster....
There's still quite a fair amount of resource management in Yu-Gi-Oh, even if it isn't as major as other collectible card game.
This series holds a special place in my heart not for a very normal way at least i dont think so. This series came out whilst i was transitioning from AIT to my first duty station and I had only watched this episode whilst i was in processing and i remember this great deal of sadness as i was on my own for the first time in my life in a part of the country i had never been in before far away from the people i knew. Especially with this series being so close to Thanksgiving/ Christmas it was especially sad but I would come home from doing whatever paperwork I had to do or gear i had to get to a empty barracks room with nothing but a laptop and 2 duffle bags worth of stuff but just to feel that sense of almost home i would watch these videos watching the snow fall outside before finally falling asleep and it made life a lot less depressing while i was watching these videos so thanks mark for always being there, i also use these videos to gauge just how long I've been here so now im at 2 months and some change. Anyways if you read this i appreciate it. Sorry for the grammatical errors its 2 in the morning and im on my phone.
Actually really difficult seeing Mark just NOT get Squirrels. If you don't know by now, the entire loop of the game is to draw squirrels so you have a means to summon your actual cards.
i don’t get it, he seems to be doing fine, what are squirrels useful for
@@xaviercreed2300 At that point in the game they're the only reliable way to summon attack/defense creatures lol the game has a pretty standard gameplay loop: Draw squirrels, summon, draw squirrels, summon. Problem is, Mark wasn't drawing any Squirrels at all and just summon creatures, meaning he either wouldn't be able to summon or he would have to sacrifice attack creatures just to summon an attack creature that probably wouldn't be more of a benefit.
Mark, you need to remember you can draw squirrels in the second pile... You can place multiple sacrificial creatures (squirrels, rabbits, etc) and sacrifice them all in one turn. Just drawing creatures keeps screwing you over because you have nothing to sacrifice to summon them.
Game: Literally just draw a single squirrel or draw 10 creatures that require sacrifices.
Mark: **Hand full of 6 wolves, 3 ants, and a stoat** Damn, this game hard.
I felt like he was understanding the game, and then he got to the "mini game boards" for extra cards. Then he just ignored the squirrel deck for the rest of the video
I feel like for Mark he was thinking hoarding and sacrificing power cards is better than gathering resources (squirrels) and then building up.
Can you guys explain this game to me? 😅
The cards can only attack what's directly in front of it?
@@malifor2210 Alright that sounds like Mark
@@alexandregrand-pierre1981 Yes, unless the card has a special trait that let's it move to the side and such
This series really solidified how good Mark really is at voices. Wouldn’t be the same with out it
except stinkbug but at the same time I am hoping that he realizes that she is a woman soon (havent watched the entire series yet)
All his skill went to voices and none went to actually playing the game correctly
Hey, just saying, the creator of this game also made Pony Island, which Mark played a couple of years ago. That's why he recognized the developers icon :)
I was getting Pony Island vibes when I was watching, so that makes sense!
So this game will be a great time
Wooo, Pony Island! I need to rewatch it now
I just love how Mark draw too many of his cards and Jack draw too many squirrel. Like they need to combine forces or something.
Idk i feel like Jack understood the game much better than mark. Like combining cards, drawing squirrels, PUTTING THE CARDS WHERE HE WONT GET ATTACKED INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BEING ON THE OFFENSE. Yk, the whole card aspect of it
@@sisbalog6001 yeah he definitely did but he kept drawing more squirrels than needed. But yeah he definitely played well
Mark's refusal to draw squirrels just enrages me in a different way lmao
facts
One time i got squirels add ants to hand beat the final boss that way
Perhaps he's refusing to sacrifice his subjects after all he is the king of the squirrels! 😂
It was the exact opposite source of rage in jackspedicey's video where all he ever drew were the fucking squirrels
Why does Mark refuse to draw a squirrel card?47:50 He literally uses a 4 bone Opossum to summon a one blood ant, instead of using a squirrel.
idiocy
ik this comment is rather old, but maybe that's because he's a BEGINNER? maybe because he's getting used to the game?
@@veethorn don’t worry this wasn’t supposed to be hostile, I just thought was funny, but this was my first time I had watched inscription, I love mark, but he was being kind of a silly fella with not using squirrels, even as a non-player I could see that from just the 45 minutes of the video that far
@@DeepFriedChumChum YEA NO WORRIES sorry if i came off strong, I was more so mad at the other person saying "idiocy" 😭 some people here forget that he was a beginner trying to learn how to play the game correctly, nothing against you though sorry!!
@veethorn truthfully, it's not because he is a beginner. It's because he is Mark, so big brained he is stupid when it comes to basic stuff
mark: “i’m going to do this the right way!”
also mark: *does it in the worst ways possible*
Markiplier complaining so hard about not being able to play cards, but he’s not grabbing squirrels to sacrifice to play the cards
no
it pained me every time he did that
I think the worst part is if he decides to just sit down and look through the game for 5 minutes, he'll know exactly how to beat it. And that anonys me as much as watching him make th esimple mistakes. Cause he is a good gamer, he's just blissfully ignorant going into new games, and I envy that cause I wish i could blindly jump into a game without a care in the world and enjoy it to this degree. But it'll be interesting to see him stumble his way through it untill he decides to attempt to fully do a strategic playthrough
it seems he completely forgot the purpose of the squirrel deck completely by the end there
@@ohyeahyeah5328 ?
the actual rage I feel when seeing mark with the wolf pelt and not putting it down or even just drawing a creature rather than a bloody squirrel has never been so real to me until this moment in time.
@@potatostomatos putting the pelt down doesn't remove the pelt tho.
@@potatostomatosA cards death doesn't remove it from your deck. You'd still keep the pelt if you used it as a defense.

dont they mean using the pelt to tank damage
Pack Mule: *moves to the right*

SO glad Mark Is covering this game, honestly might consider It game of the year out of the games I've played myself! So hyped to see how Mark tackles It! :D
How on earth is this comment unnoticed
He tackles it badly, but in an entertaining fashion. So you know, his usual style :)
Oh, it's the man who made me want this game, what's good boss
Today I learned lathland watches mark and comments on them
fun fact - this isn't nominated for GOTY but it is nominated for other categories this year.
Mark: God I wish I had something to surrender
Also Mark: NEVER PICKS ANY SQUIRRELS TO SURRENDER TO DRAW OTHER ANIMALS
Haven’t seen a game this cool in a while, and Mark’s voice acting takes the cake. Can’t wait to see more!
It is awesome to watch Mark move into Leshy's voice when he first speaks, really cool
It's the voice I hear when I play it! Lol
As an MtG player, watching Mark refuse to draw squirrels was so, so painful. MARK YOU NEED YOUR MANA!
I played this game from launch as an mtg player. Being able to choose whether or not you want to draw mana is something I still dream about.
My service dog was so confused as to why I was shouting "Squirrels!"
We are traveling right now and I realized he was looking everywhere for his Squirrel toys and getting sad he couldn't find them for me.
same lol
I'm sitting here dying as this man refuses to draw. I admit that I haven't played much MtG, but I grew up watching my brothers play and I just could not handle his lack of resource managment!
The physical pain i felt when mark wouldn’t read what the sigils meant, wouldn’t draw squirrels and just honestly ignored common sense when playing this game was torture. still fun tho😂
(Yo why are so many people liking this😆 thanks y’all)
Sammmee I've never even played this game before and it was like torture watching that little book show up when he hovered over the card symbols and he'd go "what does this mean?!" But not click on it💔💔
Yeah ...
Fire: Says *exactly* what it does
Mark: "Yea I don't think it does what it says it does"
Fire: Does exactly what it says it does
Me: * facepalm *
Tbh the most my brain hurt was when he made a zero damage creature meant for sacrificing poisonous when he coulda made his six health turtle poisonous and basically a stone wall that can’t be killed or survived.
@@narfdc2043 aye. But even so, he *could've* made the poisonous cat actually useful at the fire, but he decided on being a dumdum instead lol
He might not play TCG type games thats all. Havent seen him play Hearthstone, Yugioh, MTG, ect. So its possible he just is new to this genre
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. But I love Mark's Let's Plays because he will absolutely play a game wrong and still somehow win in the end.
But boy does he make the game work to let him win.
Markiplier: That one kid that messes up all the formulas yet gets 100% on the test
Mark's disregard in picking up squirrel cards and still win as many matches as he did by luck, baffles me. 1 of the two deaths was won by the guy surrendering and the 2nd was thanks to the pack mule that he finally killed and got a good booster pack. R.i.p that sentient card as well, at least he was freed from the locked safe for about a match or two lol.
Mark if you're reading this by chance, don't be afraid to use the squirrels as needed meat shields as well. Could save you a turn or two for Heart Of The Cards draws.
The stinkbugs a girl
the game at minute 43:45 was the most painful ive ever witnessed, his inability to see the logic of pulling a squirrel or placing a pelt was honestly mind boggling, it was borderline worthy of study how absurd that was
That was the time where I paused the game out of sheer frustration to come down here and see if others found it as frustrating as I did.
They do, lol.
your commentary is absolutely hilarious, I can feel your frustration
@@kiki69yearsago14 that pfp is me watching Mark play the game

mark: "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PELT?!"
I'm convinced mark hasn't developed object permanence yet
I love how Mark does the voices. He even adapted himself to the Prospector extremely fast, immediately getting where the game was going with that.
Literally any intelligent human being ever: Reads over the ability of any unknown special card to strategize how it should be used
Mark: Literally randomly guessing what every special card ability is and getting suprised every time he doesn't get it right
LOL yeah that's the youtuber way of playing. It's like skipping tutorials and complaining about the game later on.
But like what Raven said, a different way of learning I suppose...unless his channel is much smaller then I doubt someone will excuse him for that.
Plus I am still entertained with his vids anyway.
this game is hella interesting, outside the cards there’s lore and all, the card game itself is rlly cool, can’t wait for the next episode (if you do)
Looking back at this serie I wasn't expecting at all markplier to get into this game and finish all the acts, I am truly happy he enjoyed the game it its entirety
