Maija, tämä koira on ihan mahoton. Bonus on taas syönyt vakuutuslaskua.
Se on bonukselle lajityypillistä toimintaa. Se syö Osuuspankin omistaja-asiakkaan vakuutuslaskuja. Luulisi, että vähän pienempi vakuutuslasku olisi sunkin maku.
Keskittäminen tekee bonusta. Osuuspankin omistaja-asiakkaana voit käyttää OP-bonuksia vakuutuslaskujen maksamiseen. op.fi kautta bonus. Vahinkovakuutukset myöntää Pohjola Vakuutus Oy, Henkivakuutuksen myöntää OP Henkivakuutus Oy.
Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Lords of Limited. My name is Ben Warnie and joining me on the line as always, Mr. Ethan Jarsol Dark Age Scion Sax. Ethan, this is your boy.
Is this an alchemy card?
This is an alchemy card. Do you know what it does?
This is the one red green three, three, the beginning of combat on your turn, or it's starting intensity is one. And then being of combat on your turn, you can return something with mana value equal to its starting intensity. Cast something. It's even better with, with mana value equal to its intensity. And then if you do so, it's intensity increases by one.
This is your spirit animal from back in the day.
Why is this my spirit animal?
This is imminent doom. The thing that ticks up by one every time.
Sure. Yes. Okay. This is imminent doom. Fine. That is quite the card introduction. I assume this is because of the planar cube that is on arena right now.
Absolutely. The Innistrad planar cube. The Zendikar one, not for me. The Innistrad one, I have been jamming.
Yeah, so I know there's a lot of scuttle out there about the prizing. I feel like people are taking their stance on this is too expensive. And I agree with people that this is too expensive. They should go back to the previous cube pricing. But I don't think they're ever going to do that.
What format and housekeeping details do the hosts cover at the start of the episode?
Though I also don't know if they're ever going to bring back this planar cube because based on 17 lands at least, there's not a lot of people playing this. So it doesn't seem to be a slam dunk for the attendance. And I agree with you, the first week of the planar cube, and if you don't know what this is, basically they introduced that there's a new cube on Arena for three weeks. And they're calling it planar cube because it's switching up the bulk of the cards every week. So there's a core of 200 cards that will remain the same throughout the three weeks. And then there is a planar shift that happens of 360 cards. Week one, week two, week three. Week one was Zendikar. We're now in Innistrad week. And then next week is what?
Kamigawa is next week. And Zendikar was bad. It was basically just alchemy fetchland slop. And Innistrad is great, though. It actually feels like Innistrad. There's lots of cool build arounds. There's synergy decks. The power level is pretty flat, save for my boy Jarsil, which is one of the more busted alchemy cards that's in the cube.
This card is real good. It's very fun to build around.
But it's a it's a really fun cube. There's like lots of like every time I see a pack, I'm like, oh, I could do that. Oh, monument to endurance. Let's try that. Like there's a lot of fun stuff.
Don't try that one. That was no good. You can't tell me, though.
You can't tell me not to do it.
Cycling deck is rough in that format. I went I went all after it after a pack one pick one monument to endurance. And it's not great.
Yeah, you've been doing some rise from the tides.
Oh, I have been loving the blue red spells deck. I'm either blue red spells or self mill spider spawning. And I keep trying to get self mill lab maniac or like river churn monument. That's just like an auto and haven't gotten to do any of that stuff yet. Like there's been some pretty cool, almost mono blue. Either mill your opponent out or self mill and lab maniac wind decks like mono blue control decks that way that have just savaged me when I'm playing spider spawning decks because I'm already doing deck damage to myself. Really want to play one of those decks, but I haven't gotten a chance to yet. But this format is very fun. It's about like from the old MTGO days.
