Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 569 of the MTG Goldfish podcast.

I'm Seth, probably better know to Seth, Fred Olive.

And we have the full crew here this week, kicking things off with the owner of MTG

Goldfish, Richard. How are you this fine Monday, Richard? Good morning, Seth. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. And we also have another co-hosting, Cram. Happy New Year, Cram. How you doing this morning? Well, outside of being a little under the weather, Bronco's number one seed. So I'm pretty happy about that. Oh, no. That didn't work out good for my bills. We got to go all the way down to Jacksonville and the bills. I will tell you, they're a cold weather team. Whenever we got to go play in Florida, the bills just get wrecked every time. They're not used to the not cold weather. They can't deal with the heat and the humidity of Florida. But anyway, today, we got a fun one to kick off the new year. So we're kind of in this slow news time, right? Because it's the holidays, Lorwynet eclipse spoilers kicking off later today as we're recording this.

And let's talk some magic.

So as I mentioned before, we're going to do a tier list today and we're going to tier rank hate bears. And if you don't know what a hate bear is, for our purposes today,

a hate bear is a creature that has some sort of, like, hateful or staxy or disruptive ability,

either a static ability, some cases activated ability. And because hate bears refers back to

grusly bears, all the things on our list today are two-manna. They're not all exactly two-manna-twos.

The stats sometimes vary a little bit, but these are essentially two drop creatures that you can

play to disrupt your opponent. And here is our criteria for this ranking. So we're looking at four

different things as we rank these cards.

First, hatefulness.

So how much does this card actually disrupt a game?
