Hello and welcome to the ETH recast where we're all about commander data and dad jokes.

I'm Joey Schultz and I'm joined by my puntastic co-host.

He heard about the card Fire Lord Azula and he had to ask himself, why do they want to fire

Lord Azula?

Was she that bad at her job?

It's Dana Roach.

This show will be airing a couple days after Black Friday.

So I think it'll be airing on Broke Monday.

I think it's what we're going to refer to this as based on the magic cards I bought last week.

Well observed, going from Cyber Monday to I fully have emptied my wallet Monday.

Is that where you're at?

Yeah, yeah.

That is very funny.

All right, Dana.

It's the two of us on this episode.

And dude, we're talking about some overperforming cards in EDH.

I'm really delighted to talk about this with you, dude.

Yeah, we had a little conversation before we started recording about this.

Just trying to discuss, like, the difference between overperforming and underrated. Yeah, yeah. Because there is kind of a difference. There are cards that like you, you know, think people don't recognize this being as good as

they are, but maybe it's apparent on the card face or something. These ones are all cards that we were like, well, maybe let's try it out. Maybe it'll be all right. It looks like it might be interesting. And it winds up way exceeding what you thought it was going to be able to do based in the text on the card. Yeah, absolutely. These are not like overlooked cards so much as like when they're in play, they're so much better than you think they're going to be.

The actual practical lesson learned by actually having one of these in play is like,

oh, I'm always happy when this is on the battlefield.
