My favorite part about this video is that it wasn't recycled content. Love your guys' stuff, glad to see what I started coming here for 320 episodes ago
Huge missed triggers in this game, to the point where the result is basically invalid. Notably, Krark’s ability is not a MAY ability, so Cris HAD to flip for Pact of Negation. That means it either gets bounced to hand (which he can just recast) or it gets copied. Not only did Cris miss a Pact trigger, he likely would’ve had multiple Pact triggers to resolve at his upkeep that he either couldn’t pay for or wouldn’t have had much of a turn after paying for. Most people I’ve played against either put the Pact card on top of their library or have a token specifically for the Pact trigger that they put there, so they can’t draw a card without remembering to pay for Pact. Just part of the reason that Krark sucks to watch and play against, imo. Even the simplest of plays get waaayyy over-complicated with Krark, as well as turns taking FAR too long.
Went to a cEDH tournament a couple weeks back. A Krark/Saka player was on the play when the round went to time and he refused to agree to a draw, since he thought he could get to a win. Finishing his turn took FORTY MINUTES, just watching him flip coins over and over and over. Some days, I wish they’d banned one of those two instead of Nadu.
Krark (and Sakashima) remind me of Nadu where you generate so much advantage that even if you don’t win, you might as well have. Cool in theory, “bruh” in gameplay.
Here we see the weakness of Kark without the partner of Sakashima. While you can get more clones in the 99, you really want 3+ Krarks to mitgate bad luck. Having one of those clones in the command zone helps so much.
How did the Thassa's get flashed in? I thought Floodcaller only gave non creatures flash? If there is something else giving flash I missed it, alot going on that last turn.
Yes I missed the pact trigger. Yes I am a Cheater McCheaterson. Would it have mattered? Idk maybe, I had borne in my hand. Ryan was gracious enough to help me walk through the win and that's how we learn. Still had tons of counter magic in hand with Krark on the field.
Is a learning experience. Lots going on. Might not have been able to push damage through on Tevesh and and do as much THAT turn, and opponents would have more resources to use for their turns. Probably just would have been a win 1 turn later.
Normally i dont love a thoracle win (i play it though, i get it) that said, it finally made the krark turn end so thank you thoracle. Thank you so much. Also shout out neku bringing the pain
My favorite part of the video was when cris timewalked ryan then Anthony just entirely blew him out to add salt and lemon to the wound while simultaneously twisting the knife.
Krark is waaaayyy worse than Nadu, imo. Every Nadu deck I played against in cEDH was built well enough that, once they had a free equip, Nadu, and a token maker (like Field of the Dead or Springheart Nantuko), the game could basically end. Once they have like 15 creatures, there’s essentially no point in having them go through triggers one at a time. Krark almost always had to play it out, and I’ve never seen a Nadu deck take as long to play as a Krark. Absolutely aids to watch and play against
Super stoked to see krark-si. Except the krark-si list is very off what the krark-si discord has established as a core list. I hope they give it a retry after looking at some of the recent lists that have been winning events!
this game really showcases how underrated just ignoring your pact triggers can be.
I think that the pact of negation trigger was forgotten. It might not have made a difference but I would have liked to see it
Did Chris pay for Pact of Negation?
He did not
That's a bad miss 💀
I SEE the same Thing
Omg
Nop
Nekusar is sweet! Glad to see a lab maniac! They got me into Cedh back in the day with Tasigur and food chain tazri!
I know I miss them so much

Nature is healing, nekusar is back into pods
Chris loses by forefit for not paying for Pact. Congrats to Cobblepot

Krark is exhausting to watch.
And we even get the sped up version. Imagine playing against it :D
I feel like Krark players have Main Caracter Syndrome xD
Went to a cEDH tournament a couple weeks back.
A Krark/Saka player was on the play when the round went to time and he refused to agree to a draw, since he thought he could get to a win.

That game of solitaire was pretty impressive lol
That was awesome. I feel like this is the only time I've seen a Krark deck on this channel actually work.
Game with Krark is always boring tbh. A lot of time is wasted on Krark trigger. But he’s really interesting as a storm commander.
Krark (and Sakashima) remind me of Nadu where you generate so much advantage that even if you don’t win, you might as well have. Cool in theory, “bruh” in gameplay.
Figures Cobble would bring back Nekusar to remind us all how terrifying it was pre Oracle days.
I would love to see Tameshi, Orvar or Master of Keys one day.
Always love to see "not top tier" decks in gameplays... it shows the power of otjer commanders... with this said I hate krark decks...
Even if Cris forgot his pact trigger, this storm game does put a smile on my face. Does he play Sakashima in his main deck?
He does not. It’s a grixis shell that’s enhanced by krark.
I like the variety of commanders you showcase ❤
What is the mat that Ryan has? It's clean, is it available somewhere for purchase?

He casted born upon the wind
Third time in a row the decklists are messed up. Need to add https in front of the first two decklists to make them links.
Thanks for the shoutout! We have updated the links.
Was harmonic prodigy adding another krark trigger to the stack? I didnt look like it.

Hey that's how we learn. Glad you had someone to help you with the lines and hopefully you remember pact in the future

8:32 wouldn't it only be draw three through Curiosity? since Nekusar can't deal the 4th point of damage due to Ryan dying in the 3rd trigger
All i had to see was Nekusar being played to click on the video
Really happy to see a Krark game again!
I wish nothing but mana flood to every Krark player. Your deck sucks to play against.
Man, Krark games are boring to play AND boring to watch 😓
wow, krark decks with video cuts is still aids........
Krark is just annoying to me
Normally i dont love a thoracle win (i play it though, i get it) that said, it finally made the krark turn end so thank you thoracle. Thank you so much. Also shout out neku bringing the pain
Krark control is brutal great win
I see Nekusar, I watch video
Please stop featuring Krark games, I think this one was the last one I will watch. It’s boring honestly, even with your neat narration.
Классика Крарка: всё или ничего))
That was such an epic ending!
Always love to see Cobble, he really defined CEDH for me and many others. SO happy to see Nekusar as well!
WHAT IS THIS POD...
This gonna be fun
Long turn attack happen so often, keep just played creatures on the back line
Prodigy attacking the turn it entered, solitary Krark, forgotten Pact. Not the best match really.
why did they banned Nadu again ?
My favorite part of the video was when cris timewalked ryan then Anthony just entirely blew him out to add salt and lemon to the wound while simultaneously twisting the knife.
Godo is best!!!!!
Krark is always awesome to watch, the only time I wouldn't root for it is against Charles monowhite
is cobblepot a nickname ?
That’s his legal name.
Let's fuckin Godo
Very interesting game
The more i see krark on the battlefield, the more i hope it won’t happen again. So annoying
krark is honestly such a stupid card lo
The only good Thoracle win
Has a Dargo/Thrasios playmat, plays a non Dargo/Thrasios deck lol
Love the channe, but please dont showcase krark again. I literraly stopped watching the video halfway. Its about as close to Nadu as you can get.
Krark is waaaayyy worse than Nadu, imo.
Every Nadu deck I played against in cEDH was built well enough that, once they had a free equip, Nadu, and a token maker (like Field of the Dead or Springheart Nantuko), the game could basically end.

Krark almost always had to play it out, and I’ve never seen a Nadu deck take as long to play as a Krark.
Absolutely aids to watch and play against
Please never upload games with krarks deck. So annoying)
Chris forgot to pay for Pact, and considering he won, this entire game is invalidated.
Eww Krark and also that player is missing a H in his name! 😂😂😂 Doesnt get worse than that lol. Jk GG
every deck is ThOracle - format is so stale
Dude won at instant speed. I don’t even know what to do anymore.
not the Krark haters XD
Found the solitaire player
Super stoked to see krark-si. Except the krark-si list is very off what the krark-si discord has established as a core list. I hope they give it a retry after looking at some of the recent lists that have been winning events!
