Let's be real; game one was lost due to everyone at the table feeding the rhystic a ridiculous amount. You can't give a combo/control player that many cards and expect you will be able to stop them when the combo comes.
Let's call this episode "Playing with artifacts". Emry can be really fun with the Mirran Spy/Lotus petal combo, infinite mana and stormcount in a very mana efficient combo.
@@chachi_arcola With Emry out, you tap her to cast lotus petal from the graveyard, Mirran Spy untaps Emry, rinse and repeat for infinite colored mana/stormcount. can also be done with any zero drop mana rock as long as you have an artifact sac outlet.
This pod was too much fun. If only the game I won with Mirrodin Besieged wasn't too drawn out. I don't think I've ever seen anyone win with that card before, and it would have made for a spicy video 😁
Pretty rare (and dangerous), too... what normally happens is that either the Worldgorger Dragon or the Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead/Necromancy eats a well-timed removal spell, causing the player to exile all of their own permanents forever.
Surprised the conversation was about the stax pieces and not the fact people just allowed draw after draw off Rhystic. You realize over the course of the game, Jordan drew an extra 7+ cards. That's a wheel. He had a whole new hand others didn't see.Joseph even had open mana when passing
Should have countered the tutor , when someone tries to remove the stax piece before their turn. That means they going all in for the win, I’m not allowing any tutors to resolve when I see what’s going on. 2nd game why would you not use Izzet charm for the two damage and kill the grand abolisher on his turn or end step next round. The fact abolisher stayed on the field , made no sense
Questioning the tapping out by Baral for Teferi with only one card in hand. I don't think Baral is a tap out and pass style deck. Plus, having to toss Frantic Search when you're on two cost reducers makes it draw 2 discard 2 for U, which next turn would have been way better than 1UU for Teferi, which ended up draw 4 discard 4 with the ability to only keep one card.
Wait am I missing something here I dont mean to judge your deck building but why does Joseph have a Prismatic Vista in a mono white deck, Just have a basic plains.
This why l like decks with a backup play incase your main combo is locked from the Stax pieces naturally it's impossible for every deck to this but l think those decks that have a back up plan are strong
Emry is way underrated in cEDH. I brought it to my table and everyone was like “huh?”. I didn’t get how they couldn’t see her viability as a commander. I even started with Leyline in one game and played her on turn 0. It was over by turn 2
you can do Tefeeri's loyalties while Grand Abolisher's turn is active? Wow, Grand Abolisher literally only specifically stops creatures, artifacts, and Enchantments. Not plainswalkers.
@21:35 that's 6 mana, a tutor for walking balista and heliod out (and grand abolisher to stop interruption), so that's a win if cursed totem wasn't out, right? EDIT: 23:00 Yep nevermind haha
Crew is an activated ability of an artifact vehicle, before it becomes a creature. It would be affected by null rod effects, but since it isn't a creature until the activated ability resolves, cursed totem doesn't prevent this
@@SwishyFishy The in-video one, yes... It's because they're changing the layout or smth, idk... But I'm talking about the poll that you can publish on the community tab...
We were testing out Twitter Polls for a season since it was readily available for us to use, but we are looking at changing how we poll for the fan favorites starting in season 4 (there is only the finale episode left for season 3
Regarding stax. I totally get that you should watch out for the person who destroys a stax piece because they're probably going to try to win with it gone. But really as long as the stax player doesn't win I'm cool with it.
You might want to find a different sight other than Patreon. They just lost a pretty major lawsuit against Owen Benjamin's fan's which is going to open the floodgates for other lawsuits to happen. It will bankrupt Patreon
Sadly, the flickering lights reflecting on Joseph's sleeves made the second game unwatchable for me. Otherwise, really enjoyable games you played there!
Unfortunately, it get pretty warm in the room we record on and sometimes forget to turn the overhead fan off when the recording starts. We will try to be more on top of it moving forward

Yup. Stop feeding the fish!
Mindbogglingy bad gameplay this time tbh
Yup not shocking he has responses to their negate cards
“Jordan has drawn too many cards”. Well gee golly gosh, what could you have done about that?
Yeah I was actually wondering why he didn't flusterstorm it on turn 1
@@illbetthisnameisnttaken6598 Nate went last, he had no mana to flusterstorm it
@@ameermarcelo3231 yeah thats soooo not sketchy.
reported
@@dylanferguson7773 And Flusterstorm is Instant or Sorcery so idk what I was thinking when I made my comment.
I just finished watching your whole backlog so this was great timing
Nice! They’re epic
Let's call this episode "Playing with artifacts". Emry can be really fun with the Mirran Spy/Lotus petal combo, infinite mana and stormcount in a very mana efficient combo.
I went budget and had to replace Lotus with the Eldraine X/X snake. No infinite mana but there’s infinite death triggers.
@Arcdemon44 Sounds like an interesting combo, I'll have to look it up later :)
@@chachi_arcola With Emry out, you tap her to cast lotus petal from the graveyard, Mirran Spy untaps Emry, rinse and repeat for infinite colored mana/stormcount. can also be done with any zero drop mana rock as long as you have an artifact sac outlet.
Yeah Artifact Slinging was a bit of a yawnfest.
Can hardly wait to see who wins out of the four champs. Keep it casually competitive guys.

2 games for the price of 1 video! What a deal! Perfect to watch on my lunch break. Great video. Great content.
Awesome games! Loved seeing different combos that aren’t Consultation decks
great game! love seeing different win lines and tactics being put to use.
Oh my gosh that animate dead/land combo was so funny yet pretty powerful 😂 that was awesome to see that get the W
Pretty rare (and dangerous), too... what normally happens is that either the Worldgorger Dragon or the Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead/Necromancy eats a well-timed removal spell, causing the player to exile all of their own permanents forever.
DarkEinherjar ya I’ve seen that happen, it’s either you win right there or your opps just nuke u from the game
I'm surprised the Baral deck didn't hit a counterspell off of all those Rhystic Study draws in game 2.
Fun games, guys. Nice variety of decks and strategies
This episode's title should've been "Rage Against the Machine"
Hey there, I see you comment on all the mtg commander videos I follow. 😁
I love everyone's playmats.
I like that game 1 was 3 artifact decks, and a deck whose infinite combo involves an artifact. It’s like robot rampage.
Absolutely rooting for my boi Heliod! 😍
The Baral deck with 7 cards but no interaction during the last play.... 😭
That world gorger/animate dead combo is strong as hell!
Surprised the conversation was about the stax pieces and not the fact people just allowed draw after draw off Rhystic. You realize over the course of the game, Jordan drew an extra 7+ cards. That's a wheel. He had a whole new hand others didn't see.Joseph even had open mana when passing
Joseph, can we get a video on you talking about stax ?
Lesson one: stax is about resource denial, so never pay for rhystic study.
It's a minor thing, but you don't do things "in response to going to end step." You do them "on/in the end step."
Before even watching this video: I like that this video features 3 artifact value commanders. I dont like that they are facing Heliod
Nice to see a good heliod win.
Loved the games! A bit confused with the Emry deck list having a Forest in it? I thought that violates commander color identity?
Lands are considered colorless, so you can run any land in any deck
@@STORMINN0RM4N Thats not actually true
@@NicolBolasED "Lands have no mana cost, so they are colorless unless an effect states otherwise." From Gatherer
@@STORMINN0RM4N lands are colorless, but they do have a color identity
I just played a game with Teferi, Master of Time tonight. He became an instant target and was difficult to remove for a while. Really strong.
I find it such a cool effect that cursed totem doesn’t stop crewing cause it’s not a creature when it’s crewed
I thinks it’s cool it doesn’t stop ninjitsu since it’s an ability from a creature card not a creature^^ love that card in yuriko the tigers shadow
Anyone who says “this is a typical build” to me just says “ this deck is too good for this speed”

Low key Facts
casually expensive magic cards
Nice game!
ooooh, Heliod.
On game 1 did the aura of silence destroyed the rhystic studies after jordan rifted?
ok but can we talk about adam's playmat
Why yes, yes you can lol :)
@@Sliver_Boi it's pretty great
At some point could we see and Edric turns deck? I love these underdog episodes and I feel like Edric would be a solid choice in these videos, thanks!
Happy Friday!

I cast Assassin's Trophy on Adam's playmat. Its ocularly confusing.
Lol our bad, it looked normal in person, very wonky on camera from the top down view
Oh, I was joking. It's completely alright lol it took me a second to get used to the foggy appearance, ignoring it after a little while.
Who does Adam’s playmat looks blurred? Was it censored?
Adam's playmat is a an edited screenshot from our DnD introduction video which had a blurred background
It looked normal in person, kinda trippy on camera though
The baral player not countering the ballista was a big oof moment
wasn't there a grand abolisher on the table?
Why is there a Talisman of Curiosity (U/G) in Jordans decklist?
Bit of a mix-up, it is supposed to be a Talisman of Creativity. The decklist has been updated
Wait am I missing something here I dont mean to judge your deck building but why does Joseph have a Prismatic Vista in a mono white deck, Just have a basic plains.

Dang no one had an answer to a recombiner on the field for multiple turns...crazy
you can do Tefeeri's loyalties while Grand Abolisher's turn is active? Wow, Grand Abolisher literally only specifically stops creatures, artifacts, and Enchantments. Not plainswalkers.

Just starting to watch game 1 - what was Nate thinking keeping that hand as player 4...
In game 2 Copter couldn't be crewed because of Cursed Totem. Crew is an activated ability and I didn't see anybody here notice this.
Crew is an activated ability of an artifact vehicle, before it becomes a creature. It would be affected by null rod effects, but since it isn't a creature until the activated ability resolves, cursed totem doesn't prevent this
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG You are absolutely right.
So, where can I find these dices? They are so nice!
Game 2, Baral had 7 cards in hand an access to 10 Mana and not a single counter spell??
What? Joseph isn't playing blue?! Oh it's Stax okay.
In the first game Nate has a Flusterstorm isn't he? he can stop the animated dead combo or i missing something here?
Flusterstorm only hits instants and sorceries
I am just curious if you can't use the poll feature in your community tab since your polls are all on Twitter???
I believe that youtube has temporarily disabled their poll feature, not sure why.

I'm not sure how I feel about that Jhoira build normal cheerio would have won on turn 4 this game with an opener like that.
Hi
Hey
How was adam using his planeswalker on other peoples turns?
RTFC
How can you mispronounce "Looter Scooter" so much ;P?
Are you referring to Snuggler's Copter here?
@@D4ggity Im reffering to the newest Version of the Must-Include SC-T2 from the Kaladesh-Line ;)
I have an Emry cEDH deck!
Yesssss me too
Unfortunately she got shut down super fast
Does anyone have a link for Joseph's playmat?
What happened to the rhystic study?
Have you ever had an episode where a deck ranked 9/10 or even 10/10 on your competitive meter? I feel like all I ever see is 8's.
game one is why I tell people not to feed rhystic study
What's baral 7 card?
Regarding stax. I totally get that you should watch out for the person who destroys a stax piece because they're probably going to try to win with it gone.

Outside of having epilepsy, I have no idea how something so minor could bother you.
