    What’s your favorite keyword? And what cards should we add to the tower next? We’re pondering these questions like a wizard pondering their orb.

    • @Sh1nosukeh
      @Sh1nosukeh Před 5 měsíci +1

      I'd say Flying, cause birbs.
      As far as cards go, add Wheel of Misfortune if it isn't there yet!

    • @mn6334
      @mn6334 Před 5 měsíci

      The mention of Wheel of Misfortune makes me think of Sphinx of the Second Sun and I think that coukd be pretty interesting in a Judge's Tower. It's got weird timing stuff and extra draws and potentially untapping things with tap abilities at a weird time.

      You guys need a Baton of Morale now that you're bringing in judges with you! Banding is one of my favorite keywords just because of this little artifact, negating Trample and having your flylng creatures pick up your other ones, or your stretchy ones help reach things just seems hilarious.

    Loving this series. Honestly, I keep forgetting that it's weekly, and then I get excited every week when it drops. So it's not the worst system, lol.

    When my friends and I played judges tower we would actually play with our hands revealed. Made it even more convoluted and confusing

  • @SuperTheNobody
    @SuperTheNobody Před 5 měsíci +13

    love this series
    jinxed choker should NOT have been exiled as the control effect ends first (see rule 800.4a), then after gaining control back joe would have needed to activate it during dylans turn
    not sure who would lose when this was missed
    also 13:45 to answer the question, if the player who lost was the turn player their phases still happen as normal and whenever they would get priority the next player in turn order gets it instead (this would have mattered for the choker and might be relevant for end step triggers)
    correct order at 15:00 was putting recover and treasure on the stack simultaneously (any order), sac treasure as soon as created, pay recover on resolution to return to hand, encore as a sorcery

    • @laytonjr6601
      @laytonjr6601 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Joe would lose imo because he's the one who should gain control of the choker

  • @VivBrodock
    @VivBrodock Před 5 měsíci +3

    what would be fun is if after a number of episodes y'all tried to see if you can get a Judge's cert now, like has playing actually made you better at the rules of the game (and as you step up in levels y'all will have a harder time :3)
    also, the sticker idea is so fun
    you should steal something from pleasant kenobi too and have cards added to the tower by booster tutor be signed by the player who cast it, just to make it more special

    8:19 jinx choker should not be exiled and just return to its previous controller

    • @erniespratt1660
      @erniespratt1660 Před 5 měsíci

      this. The control-changing effects associated with the player leaving the game end when the player leaves. Choker is specifically a control-changing effect. So unless they play by the house rule where they just exile everything regardless, then choker should return to the previous controller. (unless of course the owner of the choker leaves the game)

    • @laytonjr6601
      @laytonjr6601 Před 5 měsíci

      ​@@erniespratt1660It's a shared library, are they all the owner of all the cards?

    • @erniespratt1660
      @erniespratt1660 Před 5 měsíci

      @@laytonjr6601 I assume they're not in this case, because there'd be no way to determine whose hand the cards return to for bounce effects etc (those are allways templated to return to owner's hand).
      Edit: in fact I believe it goes like this "The owner of each card is the first player to have it enter their hand, battlefield, exile zone, or to be put on the stack."

  • @DoctorDapperPHD

    Effects that say you lose the game could make the "losing" player exile their hand an board. Then have them phase out until their turn comes again or if they "lost" on their own turn have them start a bew turn as if they just started the game

  • @tom.prince
    @tom.prince Před 5 měsíci

    I'll note that Deranged Assistant has mill as part of the *cost* not the effect. I dont think it would result in a loss, but you should say you are tapping it and milling a card to add a mana, instead of tapping it to mill a card and add mana. One place this makes a difference is that you can't activate the ability with an empty library (which you could if milling was part of the effect instead). It would also effect the timing of the mill, if it wasn't mana ability.

    Searching the library should just mean draw a card then saying shuffle, so you don't have to shuffle but you are out if you forget to say shuffle. Also remember any revealing of tutored cards

    7:44 did I miss something here?
    Am I suffering from "Can't remember the hosts' names disease"?
    Dyland DID put a charge counter at the end of the previous turn (well, technically he did activate the card's ability). Then he was clearly going to put another in response to the upkeep trigger.
    EDIT: No, I didn't forget the name. Dyland DID activate the choker at the end of Joe's turn.
    7:25 "I'll put a charge counter on it" then 7:30 he changed the die face from 1 to 2.

    • @ericaschner3283
      @ericaschner3283 Před 5 měsíci +16

      There's two ways to put a counter on. One happens automatically when you pass it, which he did. The other is an activated ability, which he did not.

    5:02 I...I know he's a judge but I think he's wrong about how spurnmage works? It says "Target attacking creature" a creature does indeed need to be attacking to activate this, yeah?

    • @laytonjr6601
      @laytonjr6601 Před 5 měsíci

      You're right, If creatures must go to combat, it can never activate its ability (unless you manage to untap it in your MP2 or during an opponent's turn)

    • @darmorel549
      @darmorel549 Před 5 měsíci

      I think the confusion came because the actual card ruling it only list needing two cards in the opponent graveyard to activate... because turns out there few situations where giving your opponents free cards is a good thing.
      It also gets more confusing because if the creatures died or cards are removed from the graveyard after you activate but before resolving, any still valid target gets the currect effect applied to it.
      Finally, the card reads like a cost:effect at first glance, but it isn't.
