Once monarch is introduced it stays until the end of game. If the active player is the monarch and leaves the play the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.
I have this argument at my LGS on the regular and even with the same person a couple times. It is right in the rules! Ugh. You beat me to it here. Well played.
Wait, so Jan would have won right?
@@PartTimeEuphoRia probably yeah
@@PartTimeEuphoRia Fil had the Hall of Heliod's Generosity so he could navigate around it somewhat.
I would have drawn one extra card while I still had a library and I would have had just enough activations to not die.
Love this tournament style to the series! Great idea and it’s fun to root for your favorites
That one play by Jan (you'll know it when you see it) was just *chef's kiss*. Been really enjoying these brews and games!
Legendary play
The tournament layout for this is so hype.
Been rooting for Marina!
Keep up the good work, ya'll are quickly becoming one of my favorite EDH tables!
Absolutely loving the tournament series here! This is fantastic. I love seeing all the different decks. You guys rock!
Loving the tournament aspect around a new set 👌🏼
So, at 15:39, I don’t think JBM can create another token. FOMO creates another combat phase, but not another main phase. JBM’s ability can only be activated as a sorcery, which means it can’t be activated during a combat phase. Am I incorrect? Not trying to nitpick. Honestly just trying to make sure I understand the interaction between the two cards correctly.
I was about to say "all effects that create an extra combat phase also create a main phase", but no, you do seem to be correct, FOMO creates it during combat, so it goes directly from 1st combat to 2nd combat, and Balloon Man only activates at sorcery speed, so this combo doesn't work.
@@RasmusVJSI thought that. So many of the “extra combat” effects also create an additional main phase so it can be hard to catch when an effect doesn’t.
And if it was able to be activated at instant speed, wouldn’t that be extra combats equal to your mana and/or deck size?
Yeah, you 100% get the thumbs up for the "Haunted Doll Watch" reference.
Monarch does not go away. The crown would have gone to the next active player.
722.4. If the monarch leaves the game, the active player becomes the monarch at the same time as that player leaves the game. If the active player is leaving the game or if there is no active player, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch. If no player still in the game can become the monarch, the game continues with no monarch.
I know WHY, but I really wish y'all's Jolly Balloon Man was built around literally any ability other than Modular. it just seems extremely underpowered when the best thing your commander is doing is... putting two +1/+1 counters on a critter.
especially when there are so many fun EtBs in Boros that could make for super fun and varied games!
If you want to sauce me a suggested decklist, I'd be happy to consider it for a run back in the future.
@@alexmcgregor8658I'd definitely add the Overlord of the Mistmoors and Overlord of the Boilerbilges, because they trigger on ETB and attack
I have a Zinnia deck that I ordered Balloon Man and Arabella for because all those 1/1s and Offsprings want more friends!
I've got a Duke Ulder Ravengard built around Boros ETB triggers, it's a fun deck.
fun balloon man trick : play hijack (or similar) on an opponents commander/legendary creature. after attack phase- balloonman duplicate the legendary = keep the token on board - legendary dies - token dies on endstep. get attack phase / enter effects of another legendary + removal for 4ish mana.
And I would clap 500 hands, and I would clap 500 more.
Like this comment to prepare for the Championship 👏
Tell committee to undo the ban list first
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's not 500 but here's 70 claps
No
That Thought Scour just was the most hilarious thing a Mill player did to an anti-Mill card.
Arabella was a card that when spoiled I immediately wanted to build with the shiny showcase Delney that I opened a while ago and have done nothing with. Took it to Commander night at my local last night and won 3 out of 4 pods I played. Damn she snowballs and she is a fun group slug deck.
I enjoy Jolly Balloon Man in my Arabella deck, and using him to copy Sublime Archangel. Double the exalted triggers makes Arabella pretty huge when she attacks.
That thought scour was savage.
I’m bummed Balloon man isn’t in cus he looks so cool, but Mindskinner definitely belongs in there as well. They all feel so important really
When the Magic gods close a door they open a window FOR THE WIN! SOLID AS A ROCK!
I think the modular build was super unique for balloonman, unfortunately I just don't think it is strong enough to be relevant, good tech to whoever came up with it though
Does balloon man work with FoMO? Doesn't he activate as a sorcery?
You can make a copy of FOMO during first main and then attack with it. But you wouldn't have the ability to keep doing it over and over again.
The second FoMO shouldn't be able to attack, since it was created on MP2. You're right
Loved the haunted doll watch reference
Love that the post game 'wrap' up is sponsored by Burrito Splendido that's great
5:05 this whole staredown segment is SO hilarious amd idk why 💀
Arabella looks like a really cool deck, but I see almost no card draw in the list. I would likely play more draw effects like welcoming vampire, skullclamp and stuff like that. Would like to hear your thoughts on why you skipped on these?
Babe, wake up, new Spike Feeders video just dropped!
Arabella is sweet. Love the extra Boros representation!!
That particular play... (no spoilers) I just laughed waaaaay longer than expected out loud... loudly, 🎉
So i just wanted to leave this comment here for Jim. Thank you for everything you do. Im sorry for any hate you may be receiving and hope you know a lot of us out here love and appreciate you and what you add to tthe community. Regardless of peoples opinions on the ban, you are an amazing person. Please remember that.
Thank you for writing what most of us have been thinking. We love you, Jim, and know you guys are doing your best, and your best is pretty darn good!
The thought scour cast was cold af and hilarious
I loved this videos and I'm happy for the game that is going to come :3
I really picture Alex calling / crying an auction as an auctioneer in his free time.
Me when Alex played a Modular creature: "Modular?? Wait... Modular!!"
Here you go Fil, just for you👏
Mindskinner was cool to see but I feel like it prevents us from really seeing the other decks do their thing.
Spoiler
I'll admit, I was kinda hoping the last game was gonna be a non-Mindskinner game, more specifically I was rooting for Balloon Man, but the video will probably be fun anyways.
I pulled a foil Mindskinner in my Welcome Booster at my LGS. I am hyped to see Mindskinner pull it off :P
Note to self, never do anything but attack the mindskinner player
Wow this was an incredible game. Well done everyone!!!!
Great game guys. Enjoyed. Thanx.
Hey Jim, I’m not sure you’ll ever see this but I just want you to know I’m thinking of you, and I’m so sorry about what’s gone on since Monday. You don’t deserve the hate. Period. You’re a thoughtful guy and I know you didn’t take this decision lightly. Thanks for everything you do for commander and I hope the coming weeks are more calm and peaceful for you. ❤
What happened?
That Blasphemous Act saved Jan because he was a dead man walking otherwise. Mindskinner is such a neat Commander.
👏👏👏👏👏 'Cause I would clap five hundred times, and I would clap five hundred times more.
Just to be the man who'd clap one thousand times for Fil who I adore. 👏👏👏👏👏
Who cheats by tapping plains for blue mana (7:46)😂
@@sebastiendelorme5577 You might want to re check the board state at that moment.
@@RuneAbron dadbod, you're right 🤣
7:13 "can you imagine giving arabella lifelink?"
"yeah that'd be crazy"
Half expected bill to immediately follow up with a Shadowspear or some other lifelink BS 🤣
I do have an unfortunate amount of Cassandra statements on this show.
Burrito splendito is such a Canadian name for a restaurant, also an 80s name
Man, I dont really know what it is but I get a visceral reaction towards that Mindskinner deck...
its perfect for the horror theme
Thanks for a great series! Maybe I missed it in a postgame wrap up, but did you guys do anything to edit the losing decks between rounds? Seems like there were a few that just needed a small tweak to get where it needed.
We did not. Unfortunately, production timeliness would make that really difficult.
👏
my contribution.
11:28 actually it's the NEXT end step... so he couldn't sacrifice it THIS turn, but at the end of NEXT turn.
Borus looks very fun in this set!
Great game. Thanks.
if only the clear bastions were ever in stock.
I lucked out not long ago and snagged 10 of them
Didn't Fil have to draw on his end step from the unlocked room at the end of turn 8?
It got locked by Marina earlier.
at 15:30, could he not infinite FOMO balloons by creating a new one, swinging in the air, then untapping jolly, to make a new one to attack in the air, infinite?
The Jolly Balloon Man can only be activated as a sorcery, you can't activate it during combat.
finally a deck i want to build. the mindskinner
that Thought Scour made me lol
It's nice that Mindskinner gets in the finals, since it effectively won this game.
Mindskinner is such a cool design :P
Balloon man can’t tap in the combat phase. Is effect is only sorcery speed.
So we got three mono colored decks and a five color deck for the championship
Love Editor Fil.
I need that shirt Alex is wearing asap
shouldn't the boots portect from blasphemous act? cuse it target "each creature" per se, not every creature
Unfortunately, that isn't quite how Shroud works. Unless Blast Act was attempting to target the creature, boots won't interact with the spell.
"each creature" is not a target no. It would have to say target in the text, such as "X target creautures". Those type of board wipes get around shroud and hexproof.
That Thought Scour tho!
Well since you asked so nicely. At least 500 👏emojis in the comments.
The monarchy does not disappear it goes to editor phil
PHIL WAS ROBBED
It probably would have killed him if anything
Fun game!
I used to think I was a Grixis player but I've realized that I'm a Mardu player that runs Mana Tithe for the lolz
Time Twister, anybody?
HAUNTED DOLL WATCH
Yo I said not to tell them!
@@alexmcgregor8658 I just got so excited by your good taste in podcasts
What are y’all using to denote locked rooms in the Marina deck? Is that something you made or is WotC distributing something? I can’t find anything if they are.
They came with the commander decks! - Fil
Hasn't there only been 3 videos of your own brews so far?
EDIT: never mind, explained 5 seconds later
Sloooooooow 👏 Sloooooooow 👏 Sloooooooow 👏
7:58 cast room for blue with white
He played a Dryad of the Ilysian Grove right before it, which has the ability "Lands you control are every basic land type in addition to their other types."
Go Balloon man go go!
Mmm steamed clams!
great game
👏
And ancestral recall wins Jan the game
.
Instead of clapping 500 times, I will point out the grocer's apostrophe you used in the request. Engagement is engagement, right?
500 x 👏
Isn't fomo "infinite" as long as you have mana to pump into the jolly balloon man?
👏 👏 👏
Haunted Doll Watch Reference 😮
Wow, the enchantment deck won. Again. What a suprise.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
so the fun thing is i think the promising stairs win trigger is not part of the upkeep, but just a static end condition seeing where the full stop is places "At the beginning of your upkeep, surveil 1. You win the game if there are eight or more different names among unlocked doors of Rooms you control."
It would need a paragraph break to be a separate ability.
@@alexmcgregor8658 but if it was part of the upkeep trigger wouldn't it just say "... surveil 1 THEN if you control ... " ?
@sawomirkrol4828 I don't think it is necessary as you're not checking for a parenthetical condition based on the first part. It could include, I guess, but the lack of separation is what matters is my understanding.
@@alexmcgregor8658 i guess you're right, still very surprised it works like that
So the mindskinner is Guaranteed for the finals. Wonder which will be the 4th deck😊
DAMN THAT THOUGHT SCOUR 💀😂
we want fil in more videos!!!
😂
👏👏👏👏👏
Bro imagine successfully milling out your opponents and still lost the game 😂😂😂 honestly incredible comeback
honestly rooms feel like they should be artifacts, easy mistake
This was a great game although I honestly think the Room deck is pretty boring compared to the rest and showcasing it so often is not the best. I understand it's a new mechanic, but it doesn't make for interesting gameplay. I wish something else would have made an appearance.
Dude said “I got a few triggers here” and took about 45 seconds way too long to resolve drawing a card and exiling a card lmao dude was really soaking up his turn
Heya folks, just wanted to say that Toy is actually an Artifact Type, not a Creature Type, so Roaming Throne doesn't work. It's the same ruling as Shrines for Go-Shintai of Life's Origin
Uhm, no, it isn't. Toy is a creature type. Unless you have a source that says otherwise, but both Scryfall and the MtG fandom wiki call it a creature type.
That is not correct. Toy is a creature type under 205.3m of the comprehensive rules. Where did you see that it wasn't?
@@RasmusVJS okay, yeah, I'm wrong, but I swear when the set was first previewed WotC said it was an artifact type
Lame way to win hahah
@Alex 15:30 why not first make another FOMO to get another combat step and untap your commander again?
I shouldn't have been able to reactivate the JMB either way, but I wanted to get the counters from the modular creature.
@@alexmcgregor8658oh, looking back, I see that I thought your Patriar's Seal was a land.
Thanks for replying and explaining!
2:50 Casual edit through the awkward silence
👏
