leave up mana for scattered thoughts but also have a counter spell up is great cruel witness number two this is a three flyer for four just a solid card like it i've lost a lot of games where they just play a cruel witness cruel witness and i don't have a removal spell for it um and it gives you a little bit of card selection but our number one is a kind of funny uh lantern bearer which to be fair like we saw this card i'm like wow we think this card's pretty good and it's just over performed yeah lantern bearer is the kind of card that it's like you you know they they play it and you're like okay i'm gonna get hit for one for a few turns but at some point they'll like chump with it and then now any ground creature they have is all of a sudden could just take to the skies and just beat the crap out of you so totally i i love powerful one drops it's actually funny how when we first started the show or when i first got on the show many many years ago we were like cautioning you because with the one drops they tended to make were nor not good now it's like one drops are fantastic and you should play a lot of them because they they just have our first two colors or number one cards or one yeah you know the the fact that they you know kind of messed around with the design language on the disturbed cards you know with lantern bear giving plus one plus one rather than just flying is really a huge difference to great cars definitely and so i also by the way do like it as exploit fodder i know the exploit deck hasn't become a staple but it's another card that you can get out for cheap and don't mind put it in your yard yeah definitely um as for color combinations and this is part of like it's kind of a chicken in the egg thing where i think blue has a weaker suite of commons than the other colors and blue doesn't combine at that well with that many of the different cards or different colors and it's kind of like related to its commons being weak but also just the themes of the set as a result like the only blue archetype i really like to be in is blue white i think blue red and blue black are both fine like this this sets relatively tight in terms of balance where if you told me if they have a draft oh you're you're blue red it's like okay cool what you know that that's fine but it doesn't it doesn't mean your deck is great or or terrible it's fine but going in i would rather be blue white than any of the other blue combos and i actively don't want to be blue green that's the only one or i'm just like no i'm i'm not signing up for blue green i haven't yet to play blue green in the set yeah yeah and just my favorite color pair and magic so there you go um so first black card uh gluttonous guest this is uh the one four for three that makes a blood and then gains you a life whenever you sack a blood and the reason this is the theme card for lr oh yeah don't invite us to your dinner party uh to be so good is that as a
