Nice episode :)

Fun card to run if you're running cards that basically causes opponents to lose life whenever they do something, MINDCRANK...whenever an opponent loses life, they mill that many cards

Are we sure that Xantcha doesn't go back to the owner when the controller dies? The owner cast it, doesn't that mean they get it back when control effect ends?

Aww, I'm going to miss all the bonus episodes. This past month has been awesome and I think you guys are killing it. Congrats to Jimmy on his sweet gig, and thanks to Josh and DJ for doing such an awesome job exploring what I think is a very underrated set. I would love to see the Brudiclad and/or Xantcha decks make it over to Game Kinghts.

A powerful card I have always wanted to find a deck for I think has found a home. Aether Flash is a card that will make other people hate you. It can shut down some decks and Xantcha can be built to take advantage of it because it limits the board states of other players. Aether Flash says that creatures take 2 damage when they enter the battlefield. Play out a Furnace of Rath and all creatures take 4 damage when they enter the battlefield and Xantcha deals 10 with each hit. In a deck like this I would also play Sulfuric Vortex effects to prevent life gain and put a clock on the game. And Skull Storm to end the game if it goes long. Even if a player has a sacrifice outlet 9 mana casts Xantcha for the 4th time so that Skull Storm kills all opponents with 31 or less life.

Skull Storm on an empty board I mean since black and red are good at clearing the board.

Assault suit would be great with Xantcha. +2/+2 can't be sacrificed and "At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, you may have that player gain control of equipped creature until end of turn. If you do, untap it." Not sure how that would work with Xantcha's ability to be donated but I think that the first person would gain control of it at the end of each step and you would choose whether to have each other opponent gain control of it during their turn.

Really nice episode! Is there a place where a list of all the mentioned cards is published? That would be rellay cool and much better than having to go through the video again and writing them down one by one....
