So, there's a combo using Animate Object from the new un-set that I've *actually used* in un-games to win using Exodia. It allows you to take an inanimate object from outside the game and turn it into a non-token creature. Casting it five times allows you to grab the five pieces of Exodia (Animate Object doesn't say that cards lose their effects, so technically Exodia can be counted as still having its ability) and then you just have to find a way to return them to your hand, and bam, you just won a magic game with yu-gi-oh cards.
My latest commander deck has Myra the Magnificent in the lead. It runs contraptions, attractions, dungeons, monarch, flip cards, transform cards, dice, coins... basically anything weird or different I could get my hands on
@@DakonBlackblade2 More like Enlist is the attacking half of Banding, but easier. The main problem with understanding Banding is that it works slightly differently on attack then it does blocking.
A: When any creatures with banding... B: Zzz... A: Along with at most another one without banding... B: Zzz... A: Hey! B: Huh! Did I...have a blackout again? Sorry I promise it's the last time. A: [Sighs] Okay...Take 13: All you need to know is when any creatures...
As one of the three people with a banding commander deck and who has read all the rulings on the mechanic, you are correct in your assessment that when a creature with banding-
Still waiting on the right commander to make my Reminder Card Tribal deck. There's Monarch, City's Blessing, Initiative, Day/Night... And probably a few more I'm forgetting.
Yea... Mtg is difficult to understand. And boy, 3 friends of mine want me to teach them. I think I'll first keep it as dumb down as possible, wish me luck
@@camael4209 as someone fairly new, remember that some people need to see/do to learn so having a couple mechanically easy decks they can try with can be a good idea. Best of luck!
@@joshmountain9705 i second that. I purposefully bought all the colors of Card Kingdom's rookie decks for that reason. It basically has a one or two mechanics that are common for that color, so when you play two colors, people only have to get overwhelmed by 2 mechanics in general. It's how i got my son to play magic with me and how he got most of his non magic friends to start playing as well. Of course i pull out the Modern Mill deck to keep him in his place now.
As someone who had to learn layers for a judge cert at one point... well there always more to learn. Definitely rhw first few months of playing magic is jist being corrected by other players and shocked by old mechanics tho, and that's alright.
I was going to point out that Shrine is an enchantment type but someone in the comments did it for me. It's certainly not confusing at all that creatures can have non-creature types though lol. What's REALLY mind boggling is that if your goal is to make the game confusing then this video doesn't even scratch the surface! "Weird things you can do in magic the gathering" is a series that does pretty much just nonsense, like putting your library in the command zone (somehow). Love your videos! Keep it up.
It's not that confusing that creatures can have non-creature types, imo. I mean, Gingerbrute is a Food, and the Reconfigure cards are Equipments. There also was a Treasure creature in Capenna. It really doesn't feel weird if the creature also has a creature type. With the Shrines, there just wasn't enough space to add a creature type, else they likely would have been Spirits.
@@Tacklepig I'm not saying it's confusing (mechanically) to me, I'm saying it's confusing in general. Most people aren't going to feel like it makes too much sense to be able to "equip" a cat and have it buff your stats. Or to "attack" someone with a shrine (people don't usually associate them as "alive") I will also point out that it's unlikely space was an issue, considering the "Legendary Artifact Creature - Equipment Jellyfish" exists
@@profozpin227 For that one they specifically stated that they had to break some rules to make it which caused issues with printing, and they don't want to go through that trouble again
You can build a computer that's Turing Complete using MtG cards. No, the deck doesn't make any sense nor would you ever see anyone play it. But, it can be used to compute the Game of Life, build a Turing Complete computer within the Game of Life, and then program MtG into the Turing computer that's in the Game of Life that's coded using a deck of Magic cards.
I had been joking about building a yugioh inspired deck with the trap cards and hideaways. Then I realised there is a card called Obliterate. Now I have to build this meme.
I love that since my return to MTG, throughout the content I've consumed Ive seen references to banding being awful but they never take the time to explain it. And honestly all this time it's made the joke personally funnier to have never bothered to look it up.
I did not expected that plot twist at the end 😂! So this must be how my friends feel when I try to explain how to play MTG... No wonder they don't want to play 😅... EDIT Omg I rewatched the end and Snug little hand wave is adorable and funny hah.
I hope we get to see a sketch where you with a ley line of sanctity cast emrakrul the promised end to take control of your opponents turn. Then on your opponents turn cast omniclown colossus for 7RR, this being because you are already controlling a clown.
Not gonna lie, as someone who plays both YGO and MTG...there was a point fairly recently where YGO did decide to SOMEHOW become less complicated than MTG...this is why I stick to commander
Now you definitely need a video with Space Beleren, Problematic Volcano and Raging River that divide all creatures into alpha, beta, gamma sectors, to the left and to the right of the river and to the left/right of the volcano.
Magic’s complexity is beautiful because you can learn things one step at a time as they come. Just start with intro decks and work your way up. It’s fun along the way, too, and you start to say “that’s so cool” when you understand mechanics that seem complex but actually make sense with prior knowledge.
Genius, as always :D next: myriad and the defending player has 1+ planeswalker(s). Just to confuse (or clarify) about if, and how many, a copy(/ies) are created
As someone who routinely teaches magic to new players every year, this is exactly why I start with a lot of vanilla and french vanilla creatures, basic lands, and sorceries and instants with single lines of text. Magic is daunting when everything is thrown at you all at once. there's a lot of "This is how it works, there are some exceptions and i'll explain them when they come up."
Exodia is simple to understand. The idea is that it's a monster you can instantly summon by drawing all five pieces, but really it's an effect, except it can't be negated (note: I _think_ this is still true...), but you have to let all other effects complete resolution first, so if you use Graceful Charity and draw three pieces, you must discard two cards to finish Graceful Charity's effect before checking to see if Exodia resolves, so if you discard a piece, you won't win instantly...
1:32 I know it's a joke but "Shrine" is an _enchantment_ subtype so it is not "Just a word on the card.". There are more than just _creature_ subtypes and it is not at all hard to understand. 1:36 As someone who actually understands Banding the Banding jokes never get old. I didn't see that ending coming and it made me laugh out loud, so well done there. Thanks for the video.
Oh boy. That is just scratching the surface. Good luck explaining how you could attach an artifact to a creature. Oh yeah that can also be done by enchantments. Funny thing, if you didn’t cast the aura and placed it on the battlefield, you don’t target it to attach. It just does. Also creatures with mutate or was it bestow? There’s also cipher where it is attached but is not but it is. Imprint? Basically you can put your deck on a single permanent and call it a day.
The red herring of the Eldrazi Spawn but no Scion was good, but the fact that Banding is just too complicated to add into the joke was the cherry on top.

I'll just stick to mono green
Dreadmaw
Only play Colossal Dreadmaw and Hashep Oasis. There are over 20,000 magic cards, but Colossal Dreadmaw and Hashep Oasis are the only two that matter.
Dreadmaw
But you just did a mono blue aggro stream my dude...
Traitor!! 👆😂
You will always be monogreen if you would have a single green card and everything else is colourless
Snug just transcended TCG’s and destroyed his opponent with a wincon from another game 😂
Snug does what he wants
Snug is too powerful
I'm so glad I got this joke 🤣

Screw the rules, Snug has money.
Can't wait for the Unfinity version of this series. Black border, silver border, acorn icons, stickers, attactions, it's gonna be nuts.
It's gonna be acorns
Don't forget contraptions!
Please tell me that pun was intended
My latest commander deck has Myra the Magnificent in the lead. It runs contraptions, attractions, dungeons, monarch, flip cards, transform cards, dice, coins... basically anything weird or different I could get my hands on

Remember that mechanics are for cars. And math is for blockers. Just stompy green for the win like a real Chad.
Even Snug knows how busted phyrexian mana is after a few seconds
The most confusing part is you not full tapping your lands tbh lol
Filthy arena players!
1:12 - Idk why watching the bear drop his card on the battlefield is so satisfying, but my god it is.
Shrine is an enchantment type, so not arbitrary, but also not a creature type
Yup, just like Aura
Will always trigger Volo's ability and make a copy
so they do not have a creature type, like spirit?
makes no sense :/
@@marcoottina654 Creatures don't NEED a creature type, objectively speaking. Spirit would just be too many words on the card.
@@TheWanderingLPer nameless race prove it :D
Unlike in most rules, in Magic, there's almost always an exception.
Still waiting on the right commander to make my Reminder Card Tribal deck. There's Monarch, City's Blessing, Initiative, Day/Night... And probably a few more I'm forgetting.
you could use textless 4-C Omnath?
Garth is a nice option for that already ;)
Low key this is me whenever I am teaching my friends or family this game. Also the exodia at the end was a very good touch, very nice indeed.
I once spent 5 hours trying to explain turn order stack and damage assignment to my mother. Needless to say, she never tried to learn magic ever again

Do mutate next. Super easy to understand

I'm amazed I was able to understand everything he did, even the Exodia joke lol
And Snug takes the game at the end, what an insane match I just witnessed
Ah, my favourite combo in mtg - exodia the forbidden one.
Im really tempted to make a deck with as many rules as there are
Your content is so cozy, please keep up the great work.
Thanks :)
I really do think I'm insane because I love the complicated nature of this and many other games. I thrive on the convoluted nature of some games.
I did not expected that plot twist at the end 😂!
So this must be how my friends feel when I try to explain how to play MTG...
No wonder they don't want to play 😅...
EDIT
Omg I rewatched the end and Snug little hand wave is adorable and funny hah.
Snug reactions and the final were amazing.. so funny. 🤣😂🤣
oh god, that line about planeswalkers was straight out of my script for when I'm teaching new players
Ah yes! The mono-green Exodia archetype
Flashback to recently teaching my son how to play Magic, except he didn't have all the pieces of Exodia in-hand🤣
the exodia part got me good xDDDDD I just love how the teddy always looks haha
i want to pet snug so bad
Ok, alright, this might be your masterpiece! Please include Snug in more videos!
I love Snug, he should be in every video from now on until forever 😍😍
I love the teddy bear's expression at 0:52. 😂
I hope we get to see a sketch where you with a ley line of sanctity cast emrakrul the promised end to take control of your opponents turn. Then on your opponents turn cast omniclown colossus for 7RR, this being because you are already controlling a clown.
It's cute that snug gave a wave at the end
I have no idea what those Pokemon cards do, but that was hilarious.
It's the Exodia. If you have assembled all five parts of it, you win the game.
Wow the transformative exodia sideboard, very ambitious
"It's just.... a word on the card" I'm dead. XD
Shrine not being a creature type and just an sub enchanment type on a enchantment creature is the stupidist ruling ever.
Not gonna lie, as someone who plays both YGO and MTG...there was a point fairly recently where YGO did decide to SOMEHOW become less complicated than MTG...this is why I stick to commander
Now, luckily, my creature has Rampage 3
what it feels like to explain magic to a new player that won't stop asking questions that start with "but what if..."
Grossed out that there's a walker whose emblem ability is their +.
How about a walker whose emblem is their etb static? 😏🤣
Tibalt is a fucking beast in my Prosper deck like it’s not even funny!
My "every mechanic possible" deck!
This is awesome. Didn't see the end coming, well done sir
I like that it started to feel like you were just making up rules at some point
I love that Snug only plays bears.
I laughed at banding and I laughed HARD at the end hahaha dude this is gold
"Shrine isnt actually a creature type, its just... A word thats on the card I guess" this hits me so hard haha.
Snug! I knew you'd return!!!
Im determined to make a deck with all the confusing mechanics and card types now
Make it either a Garth one-eye deck so you have to remember what each of his sub-cards do or make it the textless 4-color Omnath 😂
@@jemm113 ooh, garth works, that way i can have all 5 colors
I lost it at Noble Elephant.
Partially because I have one or two in my old frames box.
And partially because banding.
Now you definitely need a video with Space Beleren, Problematic Volcano and Raging River that divide all creatures into alpha, beta, gamma sectors, to the left and to the right of the river and to the left/right of the volcano.
New magic zone introduced: The Shadow Realm
ironically Snug understands banding more than any of the new mechanics in this video

i know we all love banding but i feel like we forgot the best mechanic ever added... horsemanship
Every mechanic in Magic is either Kicker or Horsemanship.
Banding is horsemanship with extra steps
"My deck has no overly-complicated cards, Dave. But it DOES contain...THE UNSTOPABLE EXODIA!!!"
Snug with the only sensible option, sending the magic player to the SHADOW REALM!
The ending was masterpiece!
Genius, as always :D
next: myriad and the defending player has 1+ planeswalker(s). Just to confuse (or clarify) about if, and how many, a copy(/ies) are created
Surprised you didn't go over the new attractions and stickers from Unfinity that will be legal in commander.

I loved this xD This is perfect comedy. The bear is so cute too looking all clueless trying to understand it all xD Masterpiece, love it 10/10
I love Snug bear so much....you have to respect that he grind that awesome bear deck with old basics and....Exodia i guess🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Exodia is simple to understand. The idea is that it's a monster you can instantly summon by drawing all five pieces, but really it's an effect, except it can't be negated (note: I _think_ this is still true...), but you have to let all other effects complete resolution first, so if you use Graceful Charity and draw three pieces, you must discard two cards to finish Graceful Charity's effect before checking to see if Exodia resolves, so if you discard a piece, you won't win instantly...
Have to resolve the full effect of the chain link that gives you exodia, but not the entire chain.
Missed opportunity on Turn/Burn "and there's also this card which IS two cards in one", since it has fuse and whatnot
the little snug snapping his neck to look up in confusion will forever have me smiling . never gets old 😂
edit: LOL THE ENDING ! YES
this is your best video, possibly ever 😂
1:00 You could even have added the Kamigawa Flip Cards on that pile of double cards :D
Those ones were in the 1st video ;)
And then I play Pot of Greed, which is kind of like banding, because nobody really knows what it does.
Haha
love that Banding was too much :D
“Shrine isn’t a creature type, it’s just… a word on the card for some reason”
It’s called an enchantment subtype
Never underestimate the Heart of the Cards
Real talk, noone I've met could properly explain the game to noobs but I love explaining it in the easiest way possible.
Snug understands
1:32 I know it's a joke but "Shrine" is an _enchantment_ subtype so it is not "Just a word on the card.". There are more than just _creature_ subtypes and it is not at all hard to understand.

Ah, you should have started from the easy parts: a Land Creature coming into play with Ninjutsu while phasing out 😳
I think Bala Ged Recovery might be like Torrent Sculptor. They are both MDFCs.
Congrats on acquiring all 5 pieces of Exodia in Ultra Rare, Snug.
Snug "I play 4 copies of wish cards and a fork."
Sometimes the only appropriate answer is "fuck it I'm switching games"
LOL
Well, Exodia *IS* the original Alternate Win Con.
Respect to Snug for playing the only Yugioh deck worth playing!!
