The threat assessment in this pod is *wild*. As a Lucea Kane main, leaving her alive with Twinning Staff on board for more than a turn cycle is essentially handing her pilot the game. She is a ‘kill on sight’ commander for sure. Mald, respect for the combo attempt. Brutal takedown at the very end there!
Yeah, Quincy going after Mald when Nerdgirl’s rocking the Magus/Twinning Staff and that much mana is dubious at the best of times, but at sub-25 life totals? I’ve seen soooo many games ended by a Magus pilot copying a big X damage to creatures + opponents, with their swing to finish off anyone still hanging on by a thread after that. With *two* copies of an X available? That’s the same as saying “I’m leaving the result of this game up to pure chance.” Of course Mald was kind of hamstrung by the unspoken “We don’t build to boardwipe when it won’t advance the game state in an interesting way” mores of EDH-for-content. A deck like his should always be armed with a few Reset Buttons to go back to the drawing board if the table outpaces him.
@@Shawn-f3x The amount of games I've won with Lucy K out of nowhere with Twinning Staff, Kiora's Follower etc is nuts. Doppelgang? Shivan Devastator? Crackle with Power? As soon as those spells drop with Lucy K and another copy-multiplier, the game is over. Getting to an 11 mana Crackle for 45 damage to each opponent with Lucy is easier than one thinks.
@@jeremyfoote2592 Yeah, Magus Lucy K was one of the three Commanders that made me stop building Mono Green decks all the time. Not having the spot removal to preempt a crazy turn pushed me into Selesnya. Which is cool. Never woulda found Arwen, Mortal Queen otherwise. Probably my favorite +1/+1 counters deck yet. Want to actually play Lucea Kane and Animar, but I’m obsessive about good mana bases because everyone at my LGS always has perfect mana bases.
@ Animar is in my 99, he’s an auto-add for curve and the deck already has a counters sub-theme with so many Ravenous Nids (though I dropped a few of them for more X spells so it’s more midrange value as opposed to pure stompy). The WL ratio in my pod with Lucy K is pretty lopsided compared to my other decks. Happy to share my decklist for inspiration!
You could feel the salt at the end. It did feel like Quincy kingmade not because of the last hit but because for multiple turns he attacked mostly Veggie and Mald even when NG became an obvious threat the effects kept going Mald's way instead of NG's. Tbh, NG won because everyone else ignored her and because Quincy gave her the win. Good game still, but let's not pretend the threat assessment and politics weren't all over the place. (Like a regular table lol)
Having music throughout gameplay is what every commander show needs to do, no mouth smacking or sniffing can be heard in between cards being played. Commentary thrown in every now and then is a good touch as well. I’ll be watching more👍
Aragon teaming up with the tyranids against the doctor who hired assassins from throughout history to murder him only to be betrayed by said tyranids WAS INDEED the last square on my 2024 bingo card, meaning I have won the year 2024. Unfortunately, the doctor has sent me back to 2024 b.c., which somewhat sours my victory...
I also play 'nids and know of "Drop Dead Fred" and "What About Bob?" Fun Fact: "What About Bob?" is the highest domestic grossing movie with a question mark in the title.
Aragorn and Chulane are both cast triggers, so the triggers resolve before the spells resolve. So the growth spiral scry trigger from Aragorn should have happened first, but more importantly, the lotus cobra shouldn't have another floating mana from fabled passage etb since it has not yet resolved.
Man, I'd love to see another Doctor Who commander game. Those decks, while not the most powerful, are super fun to play and watch. Just imagining all 4 decks being modified to their max potential would be hilarious
I should do stats sometime to see what Nerdgirl's win/loss is. That said, I absolutely adore that final play, that was some of the pettiest Magic I've seen in a while.
i feel like veggie forgot about aragorns bolt on a stick lol. fair nuff really, the amount of crap that card can do is completely absurd, but especially with that attack stopper in hand, that removal on eowyn hurt me. happens to the best of us, great game overall, too bad about ramses, but probably deserved given mald's roast of the card lmao.
He didn’t forget, he just couldn’t do anything about it. He mentioned it when he cast the split card. Said the 4 direct damage wasn’t enough to kill Aragorn and that’s what would have saved him
Your nails are always on point nerdgirl! And I get all those references, you’re still pretty young comparatively. I love watching Mald, keep him coming back, beard is coming in great btw.
You might be the oldest but you are the most beautiful of your fellow magic players (Sorry Maldhound) You did show they most fear the old as you are the wisest crushing them with your giant tramplers!
Surprised to see Maldhound getting a bit salty at the end. Probably justified. Quincy targetting him after Aurelia bit the dust was subtle but noticeable. Unless I'm missing something about Mald's commander.
he was going to win so while it was king making, not taking him would've just been handing the game to him. At that point it was either NG with creatures or Mald with his combo on board.
@@fatherofphoenix13 The kingmaking started about 3 turns earlier. Quincy decided to completely ignore Nerdgirl even tho she was still attacking him and buillding her forces.
By my reckonin they jus don ever find NG to be a threat until she stabs em to death despite havin a lengthy history o stabbin people to death suddenly. Mald an Veggie apparently always look scary but Mald seemed to be especially scary as the entire table took turns removin his things afore he got to do anythin cool. It's okay tho man is jus happy to touch cardboard he doesn need to win.
Nerdgirl, Airball, veggie, and Nerdmom all live in a content house. When Nerdgirl started Decked Out she invited Airball and Veggie to join the show and move to portland. As you can see they did!
I wouldn't call Quincy's last move King Making. If someone's trying to kill you it's fair game to kill them in return even if it leaves an inevitable win for someone else. It did decide the game, and not in Quincy's favor, but so would not doing anything.
It is kingmaking when there is no hidden information, where player A get the choice to stop either player B og C from winning (which both would, no questions about it). Using the charm made Mald lose, if not he would have won. So that choice did cost B the game. Definition of kingmaking. Not arguing if the move was okey or not. I personally choose to not take the game from a player if it's an actual kingmaking opportunity, where I lose no matter what. The famous "petty"-factor comes in though, and there is also nothing wrong about going that route :)

19:29 Quick Note: Aragorn is a cast trigger so if you were to cast Growth Spiral, you would Scry before you draw
Don’t worry NerdGirl, I remember Drop Dead Fred too hehe 😜 1981 Baby here!
Great episode guys! That closing round was hilarious and fun! ❤️🔥🫂🙏👏
And what about Bob. A terrible and funny Bill Murray movie. "Baby steps!"
Mald was so close to glory at the end. Excellent Boros Charm play, but I really wanted to see the combo work.

Mald got absolutely robbed this game. Hard to watch my man get destroyed by poor threat assessment (as usual)

By far my favourite episode! I love the energy yall gave! And NerdGirl playing my favourite commander is a cherry on top!
"I'm Drop Dead Fred"(sticks his butt out). Love the references!
Side note: @mtgnerdgirl Has earned some social follows with those topical references, lol. Slowly becoming one of my favorite MTG content creators 👍😎

Maldhound’s presence is just fantastic. Love you guys. Happy new year 🎊
34:10 couldn’t Veggie have given himself the 12 counters on the tower land, then use its effect?
Nice game, thanks for it. I enjoyed seeing both Veggie and Mald pop off like that, both very close to winning before getting shut down.
A What About Bob shout out? Out in the wild? Amazing. I haven't thought about that movie in years
Same! But it just found its way into my head... SEND HELP! -NG
@@DeckedOutEDH Dr. Marvin sort of help, or Bob sort of help?
Maldhound is our King 😄 I see Maldhound I click 😄🤴🏻
Super fun game! Once again saw them all pop off so great deck builds!!!
I also play 'nids and know of "Drop Dead Fred" and "What About Bob?"
Fun Fact: "What About Bob?" is the highest domestic grossing movie with a question mark in the title.
My boy Maldhound looking very dapper in this video
I love these types of theme decks. Well done!
They really were fun to play!
Aragorn and Chulane are both cast triggers, so the triggers resolve before the spells resolve. So the growth spiral scry trigger from Aragorn should have happened first, but more importantly, the lotus cobra shouldn't have another floating mana from fabled passage etb since it has not yet resolved.
Exactly, that last part bothers me a lot, it seems he would have still had enough mana for all the spells he casted though
I see maldhound, I click
This is the way
I got both the What about Bob and Drop Dead Fred jokes. Us old folks have to stick together, NerdGirl!
Nerdgirl old? I can send her to get my groceries thats how old I am. She is young!
May we all someday be as happy as Quincy avenging Aurelia 😂
I got the reference NerdGirl, You are not alone.
ay yo its-a-me Rhonda
thanks for the shoutout veggie!
Man, I'd love to see another Doctor Who commander game. Those decks, while not the most powerful, are super fun to play and watch. Just imagining all 4 decks being modified to their max potential would be hilarious
WOW when ithis film released i was 2 1/2 years old! i thought i was older than Nerdgirl! 😅
loved the gameplay! great cast as usual!
She was around when the rocks were soft.
I should do stats sometime to see what Nerdgirl's win/loss is. That said, I absolutely adore that final play, that was some of the pettiest Magic I've seen in a while.
27/83 episodes. 32% Higher than the expected 25% avg. But veggies at the table. So its really more of a 1/3 or 33% situation anyway. :p
Drop dead Fred is a masterpiece! MTGNerdGirl for the win!

Tbf, Aragorn does everything so it's easy to forget
He didn’t forget, he just couldn’t do anything about it. He mentioned it when he cast the split card. Said the 4 direct damage wasn’t enough to kill Aragorn and that’s what would have saved him
@@Stringer207 i invite you to remember the annie flash enchantment he used to kill eowyn right before that lol
I love Quincy's content. Great to see him at the table.
He really is great!
When there is a MAULDHOUND, we all make the WATCHING ROUNDS
We are grateful! Thank you for showing your support.
That dice roll was soo dope.
Enjoyed the video even though this wasn’t what I was expecting when searching for EDGing gameplay
Absolutely loved the ending!! I'm still laughing.
What I wouldn’t give to see more Quincy, but also to see Maldhound and Tulok in a pod together.
@@MrFrankthefun there will be more of all three!!
@@DeckedOutEDH Looking forward to it!!
What is the song starting at 7:20 ? Its so satisfying how it sounds like an old 8-bit game song. 🤔
19:29 Aragorn is a cast trigger, the scry would've went off before the draw
If quincy drew the boros charm off of Harbin Maldhound literally should have won. They wouldn't have that extra white to cast boros charm.
Not the toothbrush as the sonic lmao
I need to see some Rendmaw gameplay here.
Ok. I really liked the sonic toothbrush bit :3
That charm was satisfying 😌
Both great movies!
This was a fun game to watch!
Liked the video, now ready to watch
As foretold checks mana value x or less, But since commander tax is an additional cost you still have to pay that to play Rose Tyler @Weggie
Cant believe that one guy quincy removed a few fingers to streamline his gameplay
WOW i would have never guessed that nerdgirl is THAT old xD i thought i would be older but at the time that film released i was 2 years old! xD
We need more Maldhound 🧟
Great video
Poor Veggie, he did too well. I bet there are lots of us watching that have seen What about Bob and Drop Dead Fred too!
I was hoping Adewale would dig up the TARDIS.
What a *cutthroat* tactic from Mald towards Veggie.
@ 32:84, wouldnt rose trigger twice and put double the amount of counters?
Her trigger was on the stack before Annie was out
@@AZDfoxno it’s on the battlefield. Annnie was supposed to o trigger legendaries twice.
Angry dog in da vid? Easy watch
Oooo love these commanders!
Maldhound with the power beard!
Your nails are always on point nerdgirl! And I get all those references, you’re still pretty young comparatively.
I love watching Mald, keep him coming back, beard is coming in great btw.
Drop dead fred is a great movie. Deserve more love
Katsuto Asahi called, Veggie Wagon. He says your toothbrush game is weak.
I'm old, i got all of those. thanks now my back hurts
We are in this together! -NG
A valiant effort Veggie!
You might be the oldest but you are the most beautiful of your fellow magic players (Sorry Maldhound) You did show they most fear the old as you are the wisest crushing them with your giant tramplers!
I dig that sweater
42:20 I thought Maldhounds creatures had deathtouch from his enchantent, shouldn't the Hydroid Krasis have died?
Veggie has a great deck
Came here for Mald, great combo. However isn’t he like 1-6 now on decked out.
Magus lucea kane is my pick for favorite commander of 2024
Surprised to see Maldhound getting a bit salty at the end. Probably justified.

That was a thoroughly entertaining game.
Yes, I know Drop Dead Fred also. I am now also dated.
Its okay. We can be old together. - NG
Good game!
The land would have come into play before the lotus cobra. Chulane triggers on cast
By my reckonin they jus don ever find NG to be a threat until she stabs em to death despite havin a lengthy history o stabbin people to death suddenly. Mald an Veggie apparently always look scary but Mald seemed to be especially scary as the entire table took turns removin his things afore he got to do anythin cool.
It's okay tho man is jus happy to touch cardboard he doesn need to win.
Drop dead Fred rings a bell. I am 34 though
I love maldhounds semi weekly reminder that nerdgirl cannot be trusted
As the game went on and i watched NerdGirl lose almost no life and just continue to ramp i knew who was going to win
Two other players put lethal on board and NG could not deal with it. She just got luck that other players hand the answers.
@DeckedOutEDH I think I'm just paranoid of letting someone build up their board state because my friend plays an atarka one shot deck
i hate it so much when cards get tapped to the wroong side still love the show
🇩🇪 Ich wünsche euch allen einen guten Start in das neue Jahr 2025 🇩🇪
We were promised sexy bidoof, where is it?
Hi UA-cam, I just want to say I hope everyone has a nice day
What about bob is my favorite Bill Murray movie
euurrrgghhh.. cobwebs!
drop dead fried!
QUINCY!!!!!!
We need to have Quincy be on the show as a regular from now on. All in favor!?
We will have him on as often as we can. Sadly he is not local and his flight was a big splurge and typically more than the show can afford.
Hopefully with a more interesting commander and better threat assessment.
Wait do you and nerd girl live together
Nerdgirl, Airball, veggie, and Nerdmom all live in a content house. When Nerdgirl started Decked Out she invited Airball and Veggie to join the show and move to portland. As you can see they did!

Should’ve made Aragorn look like the Aragorn from the movies. Not the dei interests of Wizards.
Her magus deck kinda sucked!
Please don't.
Problem?
