My former high power zacama deck salutes you. Thanks for making dinosaurs great again! This deck has been so fun to play. But is actually super strong. The more kinnan and blue farm opponents the better your deck gets!!!
Every single atraxa vs etali game I've played as an atraxa player has been a fucking blast. I've stolen etalis etbs and they've stolen atraxas. Game becomes a kaiju showdown.
This is awesome, grats on 2nd place! I know you've mentioned that you find Rog-Si to be toxic because they always feed the Rhystic Studies, so it's hilarious that you've decided to play a deck that does the exact same thing!
I'm looking to run this in a tournament soon! Absolutely love etali too. Have been playing it ever since it came out. Plus, big dinos! Whats not to love!
Was great getting a game with you and Reid even if it was anticlimactic. Felt like I was in a tough spot having to keep that hand even though it fed Dockside. Planning to be at the May 2k
Your coverage of the deck inspired me to run it for SCGCON Valley Forge. Looks and plays like so much fun. Also learned Delayed Blast Fireball is some reason hard to find in any of my LGS's lol
I built etali turbo dino bungalunga when it came out, I waited a long time for a cedh dino viable and I'm really happy people is playing her more and more everyday
Love the concept of top 10 with final seats on the table. Prevents the top seats from drawing constantly and allows for other people to take a spot last minute.
Played in this event ended up 19th out of 58, hell of a day Steve runs a great ship and Kings Court has been the best LGS I’ve been to in all of New England. Also ban Dakmor Salvage ban Gitrog ban Fspens
I love playing etali so much! The first time I played it, my friend was playing his Ziatora deck and I flipped into HIS food chain (I didn't have a copy in etali yet) and proceeded to win! I'm still confused as to why everyone seems to run Minsc and boo though...
Minsc and boo is a draw engine. It can also pressure life totals. First activation make a 4/4 hamster that can attack or block. Next turn throw the hamster to blow something up or life totals. Or make it into - 7/7 hamster. The bigger the hamster the bigger the damage or the more cards you can draw
I'm pretty new to cEDH, but I was wondering - what are the upsides of running Etali versus a commander like Maelstrom Wanderer? Are the opponent's spells more valuable on average than another spell from your own deck? Plus access to blue as a very powerful colour in cEDH, and the ability to give haste to all of your creatures, what is the edge of Etali?
So as much as I love Wanderer, etali has the benefit of being an ETB trigger compared to cast trigger. (So yes he can be countered then you get nothing) but once he resolves if you have ways to copy him (twin flame, cursed mirror, other peoples clones) it because a lot easier to keep going. Plus etali gives you 4 cards to pick from vs 2 in your deck. I do think wanderer could have potential but it would require a unique build.
@@Trokee Ah that's true, I didn't think about the fact you could exploit the ETB with copies/heat shimmer etc. Yeah I definitely get that now, thanks for explaining!
Also. In this case the opponents cards ARE better than yours because you just fill your deck with mana and clones. Not so many "good cards", while opponents have tutors and value engines etc
Have you given Aetherflux a try yet? Also Kodama of the East Tree? One of the first games I’ve played with Kodama, I had it out from an Etali flip but couldn’t get out the Food Chain that was in my hand because I knew one of my opponents had a counter spell in hand. I ended up just casting Simian spirit guide from my hand and used Kodama’s trigger to put it out.

I think the visual representation and your explanation of your matches has definitely gotten better. Keep it up man, I enjoy your breakdowns a lot.
etali is just pure gas. it also give you a buff when you play it called Archenemy
Congrats. Glad to see people representing gruul in cedh.
Every single atraxa vs etali game I've played as an atraxa player has been a fucking blast. I've stolen etalis etbs and they've stolen atraxas. Game becomes a kaiju showdown.
Thats so awesome 😂 I love how cEDH is running these chokers so much

Yeah for sure, that was definitely very exaggerated for content 😅
I've also historically played a lot of rog si when it first came out lol
Top 10 format sounds amazing

Picked up the deck recently because of your videos and it is super Fun! Most Fun that i had with a cEDH deck in a long time

Love these tournament breakdowns. Keep 'em coming.
Steven mentioned his game against you, and then I saw you post this so I had to come and listen to the round play-by-play XD
Reyhan / Kraum gang 🔛🔝

Great content mate, enjoying the insights
I know my aminatou was shit but I’m happy to play against you and can’t wait to play some Clam Chowder.
It was great playing with you!!!

Hey, I was the 1st round Kinnan. It was a great game and hope to see you next time at their next event!
I was like #100 WOOT!!!!
Sweet deck and has much potential
Had no clue you were in/near Smashachusetts. LFG!

My best flip off an etali was Brain Freeze, Jeweled Lotus, Underworld Breach and an Ad Nauseam. Turn 3 win

this may be a dumb question, but when Etali tokens are created, and legend rules apply, which ones to keep?? are there different line to deciding?
Nice dude! Grats! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the Dino Bud ❤
2:25 is this graphic of top16 more of a mock up, showing that top 2 go straight to finals, or more accurate (seating order and QF numbering)?
With Molten Duplication being printed in OTJ, is it worth adding? and if so for what?
you're gonna make me rebuild this again lol
The ff7 victory sound is a glorious addition

Kodama went in my build along with the suicide card in green from Arabian nights
Has Hellkite Courser been good in your builds? Never thought to try it
Actually insane in the deck 100%
Hitting eldritch evolution with Etali. Sac Etali. Get courser onto the battlefield. Put Etali on battlefield. Flip more cards.
I won first turn on the tcg Houston cedh tournament and after they hear the rumor I won first turn they say pretty much 3 vs 1 on the other pods
Did they change the way sticker goblin works? You have a max of 9 name stickers right? So no way to make infinite mana...
When the Goblin is placed in a hidden zone the sticker is reset
@@ComedIanMTG I never knew that and was still running it. Thanks for the heads up. Love your videos.
Any thoughts on Geosurge for the deck?
Huh....
That's wild
How come the list In the vid and moxfield are different?
@@robertmundt4232 every moxfield list has a changelog.
If you look at when the video was posted adjustments have been made to update since
@@ComedIanMTG thanks!
Adding 1 Wash Away to counter Dino 😃
Does it make sense to run crop rotation here?
Not really. Playing a card just to get cradle when it isn't even a combo piece
@@ComedIanMTG yeah true. For some reason i was certain the deck was running emergence zone too
❤❤
Howd you do at scg philly
Top 4, should have that breakdown out tomorrow evening :)
I heard the Talion player was super funny.
Is this you Rose?
@@ComedIanMTG yeah :(
The tourney was great I was 15th😢
i have beef with top 10 cause i was 11 lol
☠☠☠
Let me buy you a new webcam
How much . Would it cost for me to get you to play my deck at a larger event? 5:56 🎉❤
There is a lot that goes into calculating that so feel free to shoot me a message on email. Twitter or discord
What do you do for stickers for the ____ goblin in paper? I havent been playing one because I dont know how it works.
In the mtr it says that you can proxy all 10 sticker sheets you shuffle pregame and select the 3 at random then those are what you choose from
@@syndicate5357 🙏thank you
