In the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, there existed only 4 Blue-eyes white dragon. Seto Kaiba owned 3 of them, but Yugi's grandpa had the 4th. Seto Kaiba went to the shop to try and putchase it from him, and when Yugi's grandpa refused, he stole it, then tore it in half so it could never be used. In later seasons, it's revealed that an old friend of Yugi's grandpa gave him the Blue eyes that Seto saught, in a final game they had in an Egyptian tomb.

@ArtGuyCharlie 7 ай бұрын

I always found the anime lore of Blue-Eyes being so rare hillarious in contrast to it being one of the most common cards in the game with like 8 different art works IRL.

@acetraker1988 5 ай бұрын

Also, it is an MTG reference, because in YGO you can only have 3 of the same card in a deck, where Standard Magic is 4, so the reason why the company that Pegasus made only 4 Blue-Eyes makes no sense from a game Mechanic Standpoint.

57:06 Fun fact, Eilidh. You CAN kick a cascaded spell, as kicking is an optional ADDITIONAL cost, rather than an ALTERNATE casting cost. Just for future reference. 1:00:25 was waiting for the random "5 damage to target creature with flying"

All have our moment to shine baby 😅. Prof had a game where these little pop ups would happen while they miss played. I actually really think that’s a cool idea. More work in post but makes for a more transparent game.

@banzai4428 7 ай бұрын

Zeb would have been able to steal every creature with power less than the number the islands he controls. It works like with merieke and rubinia. Basically you put the activated ability repeatedly on the stack targeting each creature and don't let it resolve. After you target the last creature you leave the shackles tapped. When the triggers resolve all the creature get stolen and the ability doesn't care about the untapping in between. If you untap the shackles after that you lose control over all the creatures.

Why doesn't holding priority with the "island gauntlet stealer" work? Add the effect to the stack, untap the gauntlet, add another effect, untap the gauntlet etc. Then at the end, leave the gauntlet tapped and then each effect would considers the gauntlet tapped as the effects are only being followed without seeing the untapping happen.

The creature is returned when the shackles are untapped, and Dramatic Reversal untaps all permanents. So you can momentarily borrow all enemy creatures, given enough islands as noted by the other responder.

Seto Kaiba is from Yu-Gi-Oh anime/card game Eilidh and Olivia :). Not sure if Olivia's deck is cEDH or just casual, but since it is Atraxa squirrels, is she running Ivy Lane Denizen/Scurry Oak or Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest (which made an appearance) infinite squirrels? Also love your Maelstrom Wanderer/Animar deck Eilidh so much Temur shenans in there I bet :)
