    YEP - didn't even realize the Orrery was legendary, just dropped the sculpting steel on it 😅 thank you y'all for kindly pointing that out!! (It's even more embarrassing when I specifically made a non-legendary token later in the game 🤡)

      Can I just say how refreshing it is to see a mom doing her job WITH the baby in tow? And that being considered okay and normal? It’s very humanizing. I really appreciate people who are not trying to hide that 🤷
      Humans have needs and relationships other than working. If ya gotta feed baby, it’s kind of important!!! And the content continues to be great, if not better for occasionally featuring the tiny voice of Wyatt.

    5:35 fun fact about Mox Tantalite: the mineral is named after the myth of Tantalus, who was punished in the Underworld by eternal hunger and thirst. You’ll find him seated under a fruit tree whose branches always move juuuust out of his reach.
    And they gave this card SUSPEND.
    Also I think MentalMisplay knows this, because he said “this card can hang,” which is a top-tier pun about suspend and about fruit HANGING a little too far away.

    As someone who recent built a Liberator deck, I also ran into the trap of Arcane Signet and Commander's Sphere, but unfortunately, those artifacts add only colored mana from your commander's color identity, and since Liberator has none, they can't add any mana...sorry...

    • @adambandurak8913
      @adambandurak8913 Рік тому

      Shouldn't Sol Ring and Mana Crypt be disallowed for any colored commander then, as they only produce colorless mana?

    • @MyNarsa
      @MyNarsa Рік тому +2

      @@adambandurak8913 there are 5 mana colors, but 6 mana types.
      Colorless is a type not a color.
      the reason they dont produce mana its because you can't chose a legal color to tap them for.

  • @infact19
    @infact19 Рік тому

    I know this was a while ago but I just wanted to reassure anyone watching that proliferate only works on permanents and players, so they can't proliferate time counters on your suspended spells, as those cards are in your exile zone.

But I absolutely love the "roommates" (or gruulfriends), just build them myself (more budget than this one) and took it for a spin last weekend - just counters and big mana and lots of fun with Thundering Raiju. A real change of pace from what I usually play, it's so great.

There were so many shenanigans going on in this game - on the board and between the players. For many turns Joeye's deck doesn't do anything and then it explodes. ^^ This will stay one of my favourite episodes - cannot wait to see the next. 🙂

    It's pretty hard to never miss a trigger in most EDH games, but I can top that... I can't remember how many times I forgot I had Rule of Law out when I was doing early playtesting... WITH A TURBO RULE DECK. The whole game plan of the deck was to get out Rule and hide behind it, it was meant for high level play, so I could use annoying strategies (which can be fun), Rule meant I shouldn't lose right away to a fast combo. That is, if you don't forget the most important card in your deck is on the table.
    Great guests, great hosts!

I might just proxy the rest, but in black and white
