According to the wiki, the reason the Black Goat's icon changes to cute maid goat is because Mark chose the _goat eye_ to replace his own when he used the special dagger. That's pretty funny.

Stoat: "Bad Play." Mark: "You're a bad play, shut up!" Stoat: *_"Exactly."_*

I love how he wins so quick. but watching his decision making in this game is physically painful for me lol. -has an infinite reviving card, -sacrifices a fighter instead.

Every single time Mark sacrifices a bunny for a 1 cost when he has a perfectly usable cat already on the board, I cry

What a Grizzly Outcome

Mark: "I'm not gona be dumb about the cost of the card!" *picks the 1 Blood-cost instead of the 0*

Watching Mark hover over the squirrels every time and watching him never take one is incredible. It's like it just doesn't enter his mind, even when he's looking directly at it. Truly fascinating.

The flying Urayuli bit was *PRICELESS*

"I'm not gonna be dumb about this, we're choosing the 1 blood cost" *completely ignores the 0 cost of the pelt*

I love how marks chaotically makes the worst and most inefficient decisions, but knowing him it’s still going to all play out it in his favour anyway xD

26:06 - The legend of the flying Urayuli begins.

39:37 “I’m not gonna be dumb about this!” Proceeds to pick 1 cost instead of 0😅

Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about this one" Me sobbing into my hands: "He's just so... *god. damn. dumb."*

Mark: "If i had my FLYING UYURULI, i would win in this turn!!!" Urayuli: *on strike until Mark can pronounce its name right*

The fact he’s saying Urayuli wrong makes everything funnier Edit 1.2.2024 : damn das a lotta likes

I was in such sync with mark's himbo energy that I KNEW he'd get the 1 blood cost at the end before he finish the word "dumb"

Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about this" Also Mark: *chooses one cost instead of free*

When Mark doesn't realize he took the goat's eye and that's why the black goats are all @w@ at him, lmao

38:46 “We’re not gonna be dumb about this” then proceeds to pass up the free cost.

the word "flying uyuruli" makes me laugh everytime

The fact that he's making the worst plays ever but still somehow winning is infinitely entertaining to me

Mark: “I managed to turn a sure loss into a win!” Grizzlies: “I’m about to end this mans whole career.”

card: *says urayuli* mark: "OOYAROORIE"

It's incredibile the precision Mark has in dubbing the charachters' voices, also his voice it's so relaxing

impressed how mark was able to beat trapper on his first “real” try

Markiplier with a hand full of main deck cards: "I've got nothing to playyyyy!" Also Markiplier: *Ignores squirrels and draws more main deck cards*

coming back after having played the game for myself, it is amazing just how effective he is at getting through the game despite his many misplays. Yes, knowledge is a factor, and as much as i want to blame him for not knowing the mechanics of each boss phase, i cannot. What i can blame him for on the other hand is his strange deck building choices, and inability to see the swarming potential he accidently stumbles into. His cockroach is a great example of sigil synergy, and he never fully realized it. After the initial summon, it is effectively a better cat. sacrifice it, get the card and its cost back for free, play it again, sacrifice, rinse and repeat until he is out of spaces or cards that need sacrifice, all while also outputting damage, something the cat cant do on its own. That isnt even mentioning the secret limitation on cat that the cockroach he built ends up completely bypassing. Final death card COULD have been FREE, thanks to a pelt showing up as cost option, yet markiplier somehow thinks 1 blood is a better cost. With multiple warren cards on top of cockroach, tributing should have never been a factor for anything but 3 or 4 blood cost. The single biggest mistake Markiplier was consistently making is not knowing when to draw from the deck compared to squirrels. He would have no potential sacrifices anywhere in hand or board, build a deck full of sacrifice-needing cards, yet draw from the deck without a solid offense/defense. Maybe if he had some freebies in the deck, i could understand the gamble, but the only cards that fit that description were pelts; things that could at best wall up, but never give blood. Squirrels can wall just as effectively as low tier pelts considering the offensive pressure he was under with most instances of the poor choice. With all that said, the only chance markipler had to get past speedrunner trapper was to use the knife more wisely, getting an early lead that he only needed to secure 1-2 extra points through FLY DEFENSE (yet another mistake in his assessment of win conditions) grizzlies.

22:16 Everyone: "so you played the cat to gain a permanent source of sacrifices?" Mark: "yup" Everyone: "you then used the cat to place your stoat, both giving you a rabbit when played?" Mark: "yup" Everyone: "then when you wanted to play your wolf you proceeded to sacrifice both rabbits when you could have saved one and sacrifice the cat instead" Mark: "yup" Everyone: "do you see anything else wrong here" Mark: "no" Everyone: *facepalms* "didn't you realize that the turkey vulture was an airborne enemy?" Mark: "yup" Everyone: "And if you placed your wolf in front of it it would still deal 3 face damage before the vulture dealt 3 to yours, and because it's airborne the wolf would still be able to kill it next turn so you don't have to deal with it later?" Mark: "that sounds right to me" Everyone: "then why didn't you do that?"

Mark: *puts the Rat King's effect on the cockroach, allowing him to create an infinite loop for said Cockroach* Me: *He's starting to believe.*

*The Flying Urayuli* is a great excuse for any situation, including: "I can't go to work because *The Flying Urayuli* won't let me leave the house." "I was so close to finishing that TPS report, but *The Flying Urayuli* trashed my computer and then vanished without a trace." "Dunno what to tell you, officer. *The Flying Urayuli* must have claimed another victim."

“I’m not going to be dumb about this.” Me: So you’re going to pick the pelt for no cost? “I’m gonna get a good one cost.” Me: GDI.

*The Flying Urayuli* is something I will always vividly remember from this playthrough. That and Sir Fire Esquire.

Mark: "If I had my FLYING Urayuli--" also Mark: doesn't notice that all the bears had the sigils that prevent flying

I love how Mark was so hyper focused on the way the goat was looking at him that he didn’t notice it was wearing a maid outfit.

21:28 a decent choice. Still gets the damage bonus and summons another ant, while being cheaper

26:15 best bit i died of the laughter

I cannot wait for Mark to see the rest of this game, he’s in for a wild ride

36:05 What Mark essentially made here is a movable unkillable infinite sacrifice card The Cockroach will give 4 bones back to itself and will return to your hand once it's dead, which means you can sacrifice it as much as you like on any space that you want for a maximum 4 times in one round. You did a good play with the roach, but you need to realize it's actual potential, Mark Actually use your OP card !

Mark:"i''m gonna be smart about the cost" The rabbit pelt had no cost so you could play it for free... Mark:"I'll pick a one cost" .......

25:54 "I don't like Louis" Me(Louis): oh :(

Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about this!" Also Mark: *is immediately dumb about it*

The army of bears just made me break down laughing. Mark pulled a fucking Yugioh, & came back from the brink & then just BRICK WALL!!!!

The voices Mark uses for each of the characters are eerily spot on

I always forget between watches how often I yell out 'SQUIRREL!' when watching Mark play this

I like how Mark doesn’t want his cat to die when his cat is immortal

Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about this. We're gonna get a good cost" *Passes up the free cost pelt card*

20:05 I had no idea the goat could look like that...

Mark's excitement over sacrificing cards is so real. As a long time SMT fan it's one of my most favorite parts of this game. Edit: Mark sacrificing both rabbits when he still has the cat...

Ah those good ol' roaches made of wolf skin, always there when you need them! So glad Mark is continuing with this game, so much left to see!!

Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about this" *proceeds to discard the zero cost pelt* Me: "you idiot. You absolute fool of a man. You've lost and don't even know it. The intelligence has left your body without consent or even a warning."

"I'm not gonna be stupid about this." *Picks the card that requires a sacrifice as opposed to the pelt that requires nothing*

Let's talk about some of the smart plays that Mark did to balance out all the roasts in the comments (which I tend to agree with). 5:10 I feel like that was a smart play. Get rid of all the other cards to have only ants. Now we have a lot of damage to deal.

Watching Mark win while not drawing a single squirrel is the most mildly infuriating thing

"I'm not winning by overkill a lot" *had the option to draw a squirrel and summon an Urayuli into an empty spot to deal 7 damage unopposed to an opponent with 1 health left*

i often find myself coming back and rewatching this series every time i remember it exists

39:39 mark has failed us again. he could have got 0 cost smh

Mark makes a combination of the smartest and dumbest plays, he's constantly at either end of the spectrum and he somehow keeps winning, its honestly fascinating

39:35 Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about this." Also Mark: Chooses 1 cost when he could have chosen gotten 0 cost.

I like how whenever the stoat says no he always just throws him in there any way.

The ant cards are literally the rat deck from magic the gathering and I love that

26:45 "IT'S WHAT CAME OVER *YOU* , THE FLYING--" NFIUEHNTUIE PLEASE THAT CUTOFF.💀💀

"I like this sacrificing thing, it's kind of fun." - Markiplier, 2021. Also the Aztecs, probably

Every time Mark says urayuli he says it like an anime character saying his next move

A year later and this is still my favorite Markipiler moment of all time lmao 26:05

Mark: If I only have my Flying Uyaruli you'd be so dead. Army of flyer-blocking bears: Not even

I love how he never considers sacrificing the cat more than once in a single turn lol

I don't know why but mark playing inscription gives me the most hardcore dora vibes I accidentally woke my wife up screaming at the screen😅

Mark never accepts a surrender.. he's here to kick ass and kick ass he will!

It seems like he's missing out on a lot of dialogue because he killed the stinkbug.

"I'm not gonna be dumb about this." Immediately chooses 1 cost over no cost Big brain play mark

22:22 you sacrificed two rabbits when you had the cat...

"Im not going to be dumb about it" Chooses the 1 blood cost over the card with 0 cost thus being free.

Game: “Pick the cost of the card” Mark: “I’m gonna be smart about this!” *as he passes over a zero cost pelt for a card for one blood*

Mark: I can't play anything The squirrel in his hand that he actually needs: Am I a joke to you?

Full board of grizzly's is the exact moment everyone means when they say "but what if I'll need this later"

The thing I love most about Inscryption is the way the health is done. There’s no set amount of HP for the player or the dealer, it’s based on the amount that the scale is tipped. If the scale in tipped toward the dealer, you have more health, and vice versa. It’s different and I like the concept a lot.

"I'm gonna be smart about this and choose a nice low cost one." Doesn't choose the free cost. Classic Mark.

0 Blood Cost for his custom card : _exists_ Mark : "not hard enough" 1 Blood Cost for his custom card : _exists_ Mark, Totally not being a masochist : "The Perfect amount of Pain !"

25:18 the facth he didn't play urayuli for over kill

23:52 When you skip the NPC dialogue and just spam the next button

The narration is so good i forget that mark is talking the whole time

Mark: "I'm not gonna be dumb about the cost of the card!" *continues to be dumb about the cost of the card*

I cannot express how much I love his aggressive blinking and narrative voice.

I love the way Mark plays. It's like he's testing everything so he's better next time but you can't tell if he's doing it on purpose or not. It's either he knows he won't win the first time so he wants to learn as much as he can, trying everything or he just wants to have fun and either way I'm here for it. Say what you want but in all my watch through of this game he's the first one to wonder what would happen if the caged wolf died immediately after getting it.

Mark came out of the womb with maxed out Luck and Charisma stats, but also got a negative status effect wherein every action he takes has a 95% chance of being super reckless and detrimental to his endeavors. But thanks to that Luck stat, it comes out in his favor. He’s the definition of Chaotic Good.

markiplier truly plays games with the “it’s just a game” mentality and i love that

22:54 I can't stop laughing cause of his yelling and the music

Ever since this video was released, I couldn't sleep for days out of fear of getting my toes stolen by the Flying Urayuli.

Mark slowly finding the hidden secrets of this game is giving me “Please Don’t Touch Anything” vibes and *I love it*

24:50 mark DIDNT have to use to the bunny 😭

"Im going to make the right choice, I'm not ganna be stupid" *proceeds to make the card cost one blood Instead of being completely free*

Mark:"I'm not going to be dumb about this I'm going to choose one cost" When there is clearly a choose for no cost at all 😂

Mark: “You know, the way that goat is looking at me…” To be fair, it’s very much the way *you’re* looking at *it,* Mark

The Angler is super easy to cheese on his first phase. He always hooks the last card you place down in that turn. If you place a squirrel, not only you give him a useless card, but the squirrel can be used to block one of his own cards from entering the battlefield.

31:12 I love how Mark glitches and jumps jumps around the camera here while speaking

Did Squirrels offend Mark at somepoint in his life? Like...he never pics Squirrels. Ever. It would solve so many problems. Im genuinely concerned about his potential hatred or phobia of Squirrels 🤣

Mark when he’s creating his card: “I’m gonna be smart about this and chose the 1 cost.” Me: * sees the card with ZERO cost * “That’s the COMPLETE opposite of being smart, Mark.”

15:21, The fact that Mark was correct was funny and scary.

Can I just say even after watching this full series mark's voices he gives to the characters bring more life and realism to this game. Majestic

Some fun facts in case they haven't been said yet: the reason the Black Goat suddenly looks like that is because of the eye Mark picked from the chest! It's only an aesthetic thing and I think it only affects one other thing in the game but it's still fun. Also, the Cat cannot be sacrificed an infinite number of times! It can only be sacrificed 9 times before it transforms into a 2/3 Undead Cat, losing the sacrifice ability.
