0:00.0	I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.
0:06.1	So I've been spending the last couple podcasts talking about Guildpacked. I'm not done yet. I got up to M.
0:12.8	Okay, so I'm up to Mizium Transreliquate. Transreliquit? It's an artifact that costs three. For three, it becomes the copy of
0:24.6	target artifact until end of turn. And for one blue and a red, so three, one blue, one red,
0:30.8	it becomes that artifact permanently. So the idea is it's an artifact that I can play,
0:36.2	and if I'm not playing it in a blue and red deck, you know, I'm not playing it with is it, okay, it's an artifact that I can play, and if I'm not playing it into blue and red deck,
0:38.1	you know, I'm not playing it with Is It?
0:39.9	Okay, it's an artifact that can temporarily turn into things.

1:14.5	it. Exile target non-land card from a graveyard. All copies in that graveyard and in, I think in play.
1:22.4	Hold on second. You exile a card from a graveyard. So two in tap, you exile a card from a graveyard.
1:28.0	Two white black and tap. You exile target non-land card from a gravest. So, to and tap, you exile a card from a graveyard. Two white, black, and tap, you exile target non-land card from a graveyard.
1:32.4	And then all copies in Graveyards and on Battlefield with the same name are exiled.
1:37.8	So the idea is if I'm playing, if I'm just playing this in a non-Orzov deck, non-white black deck, I can get rid of
1:47.3	things in the graveyard because there's things that can come back.
1:51.0	But if I'm playing this in an Orjov deck, I can not only use it to get rid of graveyard
1:57.8	things, but I can get rid of things sharing the same name on the
