00:00 - 00:05 | so they say to come in early for the Zendikar design meeting |
00:05 - 00:07 | you know were are under pressure to fix standard |
00:07 - 00:10 | they want to make us a playable omnath and I'm like |
00:11 - 00:16 | you want it to double your mana and gain you life by turn 5? jk jk |
00:17 - 00:21 | They look at me and say "that's genius!" |
00:21 - 00:24 | I swear! I couldn't believe it! |
00:29 - 00:31 | Even Maro was so excited |
00:31 - 00:34 | So next I go "let's make it cost 4 mana" |
00:38 - 00:40 | and they say this is a great idea! |
00:41 - 00:47 | and I go-while we are at it let's reprint lotus cobra |
00:47 - 00:50 | you know we banned oko and once upon a time |
00:50 - 00:56 | I think we should give green a good rare |
00:58 - 00:59 | I'm trying to not laugh |
00:59 - 01:01 | because they are so excited |
01:04 - 01:06 | and I say-let's give it landfall |
01:06 - 01:08 | You know it's the landfall set |
01:13 - 01:14 | we want it to sell well |
01:14 - 01:16 | So let's give omnath not one, not two |
01:16 - 01:20 | but THREE landfall triggers |
01:21 - 01:27 | and they say it's the best thing since Uro! |
01:35 - 01:36 | And speaking of Uro! |
01:36 - 01:39 | Wouldn't a deck that can play Omnath, cobra and Uro be so fun? |
01:41 - 01:44 | But hey-let's not get carried away here |
01:44 - 01:47 | you know, we want this card to have some balance, right? |
01:47 - 01:49 | No colorless mana to cast it |
01:50 - 01:53 | But they have fabled passage in there |
01:54 - 01:56 | so it won't be TOO hard |
01:56 - 01:58 | FABLED PASSAGE! |
01:58 - 02:02 | I say-hey they can only play 4 in the deck |
02:05 - 02:07 | so it won't be too powerful or anything |
02:10 - 02:11 | turn 3 cobra |
02:11 - 02:13 | then turn 4 omnath into fabled passage |
02:15 - 02:17 | that won't happen often, right? |
02:17 - 02:20 | you can only play 4 of each card in the deck |
02:21 - 02:28 | plus we just reprinted fabled passage, right? |
02:29 - 02:30 | It's fine! |
02:30 - 02:32 | Maro looking at me like I just discovered water on Mars |
02:36 - 02:39 | Everyone so excited |
02:40 - 02:42 | My ribs hurt from holding in my laughter |
02:50 - 02:55 | I mean first Uro now LOTUS COBRA? |
02:56 - 02:58 | They think it's ingenious! |
02:58 - 03:04 | I doubt any of them will play a match with the cards |
03:04 - 03:09 | They are just hype for power creep |
03:09 - 03:11 | But they don't think it will be too powerful lol |
03:16 - 03:20 | This new set is going to sell so well |
03:23 - 03:26 | And hey maybe we will even add some limited events! |
03:31 - 03:36 | Just kidding about that part LMAO |
