Chernobog

...

the image of Chernabog from that film.

And that, it, to me, is probably the most...

I think you can argue other pieces of Fantasia definitely have impact, for sure.

But I think if you think of, like, the character or the thing to come out of Fantasia, it's Chernabog to me.

And-

Absolutely

The Black Cauldron.

Chernabog, Unnatural Force.

Broadway, Sturdy and Strong.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Adventuring Duo.

It's like...

I have to then like ink, ink, ink, ink, ink, get up to five and then play Chernabog or Hope.

It was pretty disappointing from a deck performance standpoint.

I really wanted to play it.

Great.

If not, you don't get that.

You can go play a three-cost character, draw a card with Elsa, and then banish it, and then immediately play a Chernabog to eliminate the Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse combo.

Or my personal favorite is you play Hades, like, you know, on turn four, turn five, and they're like, oh, I'm not going to remove this card.

I think that is something that a lot of people are just kind of going over way too easily because Emre is not Emre.

Emre is Emre being controlled by Chernobog, who we're still not sure if it's actually Chernobog or who is actually behind it.

But the fact that I don't think Emre escaped Chernobog.

I think Chernobog is actually doing this on purpose and that that is basically what we're going to be seeing next year.

I think Chernobog is going to play, Emre and Chernobog are going to be playing a major role in the 2027 story arc.

I think the reign of Vendetta is going to end at the end of this season and they're going to get the reign of Chernobog next year or something.

I don't know, but I feel like that is where we're heading.

Well, that would align with our prediction slash hope that we are going to start talking about the God programs again, right? That would be a great segue into it by making it from the small of Emre and his problem in what they're doing to...

I was going through my, my first initial pick that I thought was actually pretty good was yellow green, uh, like mid range, uh, kind of like a hybrid between the yellow green songs deck.

Um, and like just like a yellow purple style deck where you just play like Chernabog and a Kud, but you don't play like the Circle of Life or any of like the combo stuff.

So it's kind of just like a mid-range deck that abuses Chernabog and a Kud.

And I really like that deck.

I think that deck is like pretty good, but I ended up deciding that it's just not good enough.

It's pretty much just like an angle that yellow purple would take.

There's not much else benefit to it, other than maybe having a stronger Mickey mini matchup because you have Chernabog.

But I wasn't super worried about Mickey Mini.

If you can get the Mickey and Minnie down and start questing, they'll probably get ahead of you.

But outside of that, you've got the Chernobog in there, which will bounce back.

Potentially some of them are running the Rapunzel.

You've also got things like Milo in there, which with the Retrosphere, they can get out so much...

They can have 18,000 ways to interact with me.

So it's like, what's the point? uh maybe that's like really where this would you know putting some more stats in play while the Rapunzel is not the biggest character like the 3-3 body to bounce a character back is still very relevant Huntsman's very relevant if your uh Chernabog's lives they're very relevant so if you can go you can set up a line like Huntsman Rapunzel bounce a character Chernabog a character and then play a Demona all of a sudden you can kind of like make that aggro matchup a They get to banish three of their characters.

Also, you set them back a turn or two turns by removing characters through Rapunzel and Chernobog.

And now Demona, you know, draws you some cards.
