I don’t get to see Elminster a lot, but I highly recommend Mystic Reflection for the deck, setting up a high value -3 to then have all the 1/1s enter as something big or with a valuable ETB instead is so good
If everyone where playing Cyclonic Rift with the intent to win the game like Jan did this game, I'm certainly happy about the outcome of the game. Asymmetrical "board wipe" are a way to win the game and people dont "abuse" them enough
was happy to see a new spike feeders video, saw jan, thought hmm he looked much slimmer in the latest videos (congrats btw) had to check the time this one was uploaded to see 9 hours ago so I was wondering until I saw the caption that states this video is from march 😄
at 14:00 couldn't you stack the triggers from Mari and Rankle so that you would have Elliot Sacrifice, and then remove the hit counter and draw the card/gain the treasures?
Yes. Mari's ability triggers even if there are no cards in exile with hit counters on them, and you choose which card to remove a counter from on resolution.
The player/controller of the permanent that is affected that is affected by replacement effects chooses which ones apply until they are no longer able to. So if two "if creature would die, do this instead" you can choose it so the "better" one takes effect
The exile with a hit counter is actually a triggered ability as is Gandalf's ability, while the saproling thing is a replacement effect. So there is no choice available and the saproling exile wins. That being said, if they were all triggered abilities they'd be put on the stack in player order and the last one would resolve first.
@@Sheer_Falacy Ah my brain didn't connect that there were triggered and replacement effects in play. I thought they were all replacement effects and thought it'd be one of those things that cares about chronological order (like hand size modifiers)
23:26 i think the gadraak trigger should’ve made 4 treasures not 6. Jolene doesn’t double treasures, she makes one additional. So since gadraak’s just one trigger it would see three creatures died and say to make 3+1
I love rankle master of prankles. I have a rankle deck and he is known by my table as “cranky ranks” because he comes out swinging and if he isn’t blocked my opponents soon become cranky themselves 😅
Is the background to the portraits in the thumbnail Ulasht the Hate Seed? If it's not, it looks VERY similar to it to me. Please lemme know if anyone else noticed it
Praise be 🙏 I was already super excited to see one of my favourite under appreciated commanders Ramses getting love and then I'm hit with my absolute favourite commander Elminster (aka ElWINster) I hope this goes well for Jan and Elliot.
@@kevinwestermann1001 Being asymmetrical and instant speed makes Rift MASSIVELY better, both of those qualities are why it was able to win the game this time
THE BEST INTRO IS BACK LETS GOOOOOO 😭 i used to pray for times like this!!!
The bastion music just feels so right as the intro to a spike feeders episode
I like it as well
This disoriented me for a second because there's a song from the video game Bastion named "Spike in a Rail".
Oh, man, nothing hits like that SOLID AS A ROCK music.
I'm sure the new products are just as great, but Bastion is the PEAK!!
Jerry: exists
Spikes: Clobbering time.

Omg Ive never thought I would miss an ad but the bastion music is so good I literally hum it sometimes randomly

I remember not liking the solid as a rock the first time I watched, what a fool I was, and how I have missed it. Welcome back solid as a rock
I'm a simple man. I see Spike Feeders I click ❤
Does Eliot play SSBM? "I'm getting wobbled in my favorite game"

Leg En Dary? More like Led N' Jerry.
Patreon gang! Solid as a rock!
I love that for being know as the cEDH guys that you guys can still play casual games and let Alex drink. Fun times as always.
Yeah, another episode 🤩🔥🔥
SOLID AS A ROCK's return!
Alex I love your shirt and Jan please do more drifting in the intros it was thoroughly enjoyable
I got that one from Hardaddy.com they cycle designs a lot though so it may not be there still

first card played at 4:05

31:39 could be wrong but shouldn't it be exiled and Jerry makes a saproling, since he has the latest "when something dies exile it instead" effect?
The player/controller of the permanent that is affected that is affected by replacement effects chooses which ones apply until they are no longer able to. So if two "if creature would die, do this instead" you can choose it so the "better" one takes effect

Jerry claimed his nonlands were all legendary, but bard class isn't! How dare he lie to us and play this incredibly synergistic card!
The rule was that if it wasn't a land, then it had to have the word "legendary" on it, not be a legendary permanent. Bard Class fits the restriction.
Still trying to find out where Alex got that shirt so I can get one!

Looks like Jerry forgot to draw for being the monarch @33:25
jan did a bucket list win congrats!!!
Like this comment to be full of guacamole
Mmm guacamole
Do I have to pay extra?
I fear this may have been false advertising 😢
That's a good way to get me to like hahaha
Poor Elminster one day he'll get to do something in a game of commander
Great game 🫶🏼
"LIE-BERRY"
Fact: If you play Ramses and 99 lands. Attack with him, have your “opponent” scoop in response. You can end the turn and win the game. 100% win rate.
So jerry was just straight up playing Bard Class wrong the turn before Jan cast Cyclonic Rift...
Any chance fans can come on the show xD
So silly that Mystic Gate isn’t a gate
Great game
Ramses assassin lord deck is missing cards in the link provided that links to moxfield
*Jerry exists
*everyone else “KILL”
Poor Jerry didn't really get to do much in that game.
LETS GO SPIKES
JOLENE
That's a lot of smacks
Team JERRY!

Jolene is such a queen 😍. I recently made my treasure deck jund with Vazi as the commander but I’m constantly questioning my choice 🤣
jan always destroys
Cyclonic rift wins another game 😂
Wonder when people will admit it's worse than Upheaval.

@@Kyronex0 I obviously meant it in the way that Cyclonic Rift is the worse offender.
A Clyclonic Rift win is always a bummer lol.
coward should of made all your lands legendary to so you could have a legendarily bad mana base
