Creature - Human Samurai

~ gets +2/+0 for each other modified creature you control (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

I like how the description for this was probably like "punk samurai with pompadour" and the western artist was like "ah so he's kinda like Elvis looking" and the Japanese artist looked over and said "you are like a baby" and cracked their knuckles loudly

The clickbait thumbnail is basically a requirement to be successful at youtube. Its how he makes a living. Its cringe, but its weird to criticize him personally for it.

it does give deathtouch. it's an ability counter which is a mechanic they introduced in ikoria, reused in kaldheim, and have made deciduous (it won't be in every set but it's something they'll continue to use for the forseeable future when it's useful)

it came back for this set because it's something that counts for the 'modified' mechanic

I think the misinterpretation was that it was like the cage counters from Mairsil, fetch counters from Pako, or croak counters from Grolnok, where it's a named counter which only has an effect in relation to other cards, but no intrinsic effect of its own.

edit: the Myojin cycle from earlier Kamigawa had a similar style of counter exchange, but they hadn't invented ability counters yet. I suspect the "divinity" counters would have just been "indestructible" counters if it had come later

he reviews most of their products and gives even-handed and well-explained reviews to most things, but this one is particularly egregious in a way that is pretty insulting to the people they're trying to sell it to, so he's way more aggro towards it than he usually is.

stop worrying about thumbnails and focus on the content of the video. clickbait thumbnails are just how things are now, accept it or stop using youtube. he provides a welcome service both reviewing the products with a particularly critical eye, and warning people of scam products, etc. he's a good egg.

in particular, I did not realize this fit in the same wheelhouse as time spiral remastered and the various masters sets, and when I realized that it's priced similarly to a master's set and being a rehash of older stuff like TSM, but lacking the quality of either with a visual style that is simply a total failure, it put it into even starker perspective how poo poo a product double feature is. I was thinking of picking up a box but I'm definitely not going to now unless that poo poo starts getting put on fire sale.

You know the thumbnail has no relation to the actual video content right? His videos are as high quality, well reasoned, and relevant as ever so imo your tales are completely backwards.

The future is bright.
I think the "deathtouch counter doesn't actually give deathtouch" thing is more about how if you ninjutsu in Kappa Tech-Wrecker and burn the counter on the ability, you're left with a vanilla 1/3 on the field after, which is something that's easy to forget when you think "oh, it has a deathtouch counter, AND removal" when your reading comprehension is low.

For limited putting a land into play for 3 rather than to your hand is probably better even without the extra card.

Used to be only on Spirits in the Kamigawa set. Like you were Channeling a spirit's presence. Like, here's a spirit that has first strike, it has a channel ability that turns it into an instant speed first strike combat trick.



Now it's just like, here's Channel I guess because we're on Kamigawa again.
