Fish are back on the menu! And off the menu. And then back on? Cameron goes on a journey to play Merfolk in Standard. Mostly.

Alex's deck names at the end were the perfect topping to this beautiful heaping of joy. (Also, 36 merfolk is the perfect number for EDH tribal.)

"Do I want to run hornswoggle..." Look at Graham's face during that. He is both shocked and confused that Cam would consider running a leprechaun in his merfolk tribal list

@LeviathanStorm38 6 жыл бұрын

I think Graham is having flashbacks to WWE times gone by. Ironically, the guy who played the Hornswoggle character is a really cool dude.

@olynder 6 жыл бұрын

Just in case it's not known, Hornswoggle is a counterspell for 2 and a blue that counters a creature and creates a treasure. If you did know, good on you :3

@xhuggels 6 жыл бұрын

Caleb Moberg yes rhey are sweet, but are they the best? no, as they get wrecked by boardwipes, which is very common atm

@calebmoberg192 6 жыл бұрын

xhuggels they may be weak to board wipes, but they can rebuild well after one because of the card advantage they have, and they have access to blue for counter magic. The problem of board wipes also affects all of the other tribal decks to. Also you could also be running heroic intervention because of the green. I don't know if they are the best, but most pros along with a lot of content creators think they have a very good chance at being competative.

Alex’s planeswalker card could be a real thing, except the +2 could be an “add 2 red mana too your mana pool until end of turn”, and to keep things wacky the ultimate should say, “shuffle your library,then take and reveal the top half of your library rounded up, then all cards revealed this way resolves , but the lowest one first”.

Graham himself admits that his ability to grow a beard can't compete with Paul's. And while James apparently can't (or doesn't want to) compete with Paul-levels of beard fluffyness, he easily makes it up with density. (They talked about that in a recent episode of their podcast Tap Tap Concede.)
