      Unless I missed somethin, I’d say that Robert’s overly tunnel-visioned into the fact that drawing 2 off Kharn’s trigger, only happens when another player gains control of it & an opponent gainin control of it, is tied to would-be damage dealt to Kharn (like, from a block).
      Agree with Tim & Anthony that dying & leaving the battlefield, etc also count towards the broader category of “losing control of this permanent”

    Absolutely Amazing Command Zone! There was one error that Jimmy made at 28:07 with the Starstorm resolution. The Deathmarks had the Res Orb attached to them so they should have come back after the Starstorm resolved. That would have led to 3 more cards being milled. No creatures to be killed but a creature to attack / block with. This error may not be significant but once the commander comes out, Jimmy had a way to deal with the other "creatures" that caused a lot of stress later in the game.

But these cards just feel like completely natural Magic cards - the kind that wouldn't really look jarring as random one-offs in a "regular" deck.
