I can't believe it's been three seasons(8 months), and I start watching your content from day 1. This whole covid 19 condition make me feel like we are still at January...
We definitely are too! We've already been having fun building decks with the additional budget restriction for season 4 and we are really looking forward to seeing what deck suggestions we get
Anyone else feel like that early game pyroblast was weird? It seems like letting him untap and either pay the Ramora upkeep tax to keep it or letting him sacrifice it and still have the pyroblast in hand to maybe counter Breya or destroy something else
There were multiple reasons I timed the Pyroblast when I did. First off, Jordan only had access to 1 blue mana when I cast Pyroblast, meaning he didn't have access to his full counterspell suite to protect the Remora. Secondly, I was 100% confident that Jordan was going to pay for fish and pass the turn, as he would have only had 2 cards in hand at the beginning of his turn before drawing. An early game Breya doesn't generate very much value, and with limited cards in hand, he would have wanted to keep the Remora around for card-advantage. I also wouldn't have wanted to counter Breya even if he had cast it and I had the resources to. Breya presents a very small threat to my game plan on her own. Thirdly, my opening hand and my first turn's draw was full of cards that lent themself well to early game plays. I believe I drew Copy Artifact on my first draw of the game, so waiting another turn cycle to see if he paid for fish would have not only hurt my cards draw (would have delayed Mishra's Bauble even more) but also would have drastically slowed my ramp as I would have had to wait until turn 3 to start developing my board state. The earlier card advantage and earlier ramp helped my gameplan much more than risking keeping the Remora around. Breya on turn 2 is much less scary than him having a super ramp heavy turn one into massive card advantage through Mystic Remora
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG but why not wait until he payed the Remora tax then destroy it? Atleast force him to spend mana and gain no benefit. The only reason I could see was he having more Mana for counter magic.
@@patrickbaillargeon7568 Getting around as much counter magic or interaction as possible was a huge reason for casting Pyroblast before Jordan's upkeep. My line of thinking was that, since he dumped his hand early, the quality of cards in his hand wasn't super great, so he needed the card advantage from Mystic Remora to re-fuel his hand. Because of this, I assumed he would fight to keep the Remora if at all possible meaning that the best time I could try to remove Remora is when Jordan had as little mana as possible, which was before he untapped. I wasn't too worried about him having 'extra' mana on his turn since he didn't have to pay for Remora because of these assumptions. Him drawing a card off of my Pyroblast after untapping presented a much larger threat to my plan. The thought process turned out to be correct when he cast Breya on his turn because, realistically, I am not too worried or concerned about an early game Breya. Overall, the decision was made to try to remove it when he had the least amount of resources to protect it, rather than try to slow down his upcoming turn.
Then why not destroy it at sorcery speed? I agree about not letting him untap and get access to more mana to counter pyroblast, but since the cards he was going to draw off remora are the real issue why let the other players go through their turns first? If someone decided to not feed the fish netting a couple cards wouldnt it be troublesome as well?
don't worry about defending yourself man, convoluted as all hell sequences + crazy over the top interaction is what EDH is all about....and the occasional play of big dumb green things XD
I like how the power scales in the beginning of the video only rank these decks as 8 out of 10's but i'm not convinced these are 10 out of 10 cEDH decks. They're hyper optimized.
These are manly 10/10 cEDH decks, while they’re nearly as optimized as they could be with their commander, they aren’t the best of the best unlike the 10/10 decks such as Thrasios advantage, Teferi Chain veil, Gitrog, and Kess, among many others.
@@wyattdowning6742 Ok but then they're implying the difference between an "8" ranking, "9" ranking, and "10" ranking is only a few cards. That's silly. It's like they're trying to humble brag but don't want to seem like they aren't playing entirely maxed out decks. They should just admit these are 9's at MINIMUM and probably still count them as 10's.
Dr. Kuhn I mean not really, a commander can only go so far into the power level, I’d agree that Elsha and Bloodpod are 9s. I have decks that are around 8-9 power level and they play similarly to these, calling these 10s wouldn’t be right because 10 is best of the best which these are not, this is semi competitive gameplay, not full cEDH
It's more the fact that they aren't on a lot of important cards in their lists. Some are lacking duals. Joseph's deck is a lot worse without Lion's eye diamond. Breya not running consultation. Things like that. They are not optimized, however in a no proxy situation they are realistic to what people expect.
@@wyattdowning6742 That's quite the blurry line. You realize there' are different levels of competitive right? Not "semi" competitive. These decks are all combo decks trying to go off instantly. They're just as much competitive as all the other decks you're listing.
Damn. Was hoping to see Circu do some degenerate stuff. On the other hand if anyone is looking for deck ideas under 200$ Lavinia-Pool Momir Elves Yuriko Ninjas All very viable decks under 200 and oddly enough some can be confoundedly complicated like Elsha.
If I am being honest I hope you guys do additional games during next season that don’t have the budget restriction, while I’ll enjoy the budgeted decks, I am still here for mostly high level play which a budgeted deck can’t reach the same. Even if it’s just bonus patreon games that don’t have the restriction it would be appreciated.
Are there any competitive decks that you guys have which include Atraxa? Looking for inspiration for a deck that will stand up to my buddy's Najeela deck that includes Atraxa.
I've noticed in the explanation at the end, that your prefer to play decks with "good" cards which can turn into finishers by itself rather than playing strictly wincon cards like laboraroty maniac/thassa's oracle for example and i'm agree. But is not brain freeze a wincon card by itself? Which is the difference between having a LabMan/TO and a brain freeze? Well, u can obviously use it as interaction milling someone's vampiric tutor or brainstrom but i don't find that enough and makes the wincon lines kinda clunky, a needing to many cards which can be exiled. Also love your content, keep doing it. (sorry, english isn't my mother language)
We usually differentiate between "engines" and "wincons" like, you rarely actually cast isochron scepter when you don't have dramatic reversal either. Brain freeze is more of an engine than a win con. You use it to mill (draw) your library with breach and LED/petal/dramatic. You couldn't play oracle instead of freeze, you would have to play it in addition. Engine cards get you to the state where you have all the cards in your deck available. Win cons win the game after you have all the cards in your deck available. Therfore, if your only way to win with that win con is when you have infinite everything, it's unnessecary. This is opposed to in like a consult deck, where you can win with thoracle without having infinite mana/your whole deck in hand.
Would it have been better to pyroblast the Mystic Remora after having made Jordan pay its upkeep cost? Breya fairly light on counterspells, I just thought his timing was weird on that play.
I can understand not wanting to run a lab maniac (cmc and does nothing on it's own) but why not run a Thassa's Oracle that can do something on turn 2+ ?
Lol I would have laughed so hard if someone held up counterspells to stop Joseph. Cool game though. Interested to see more unique win cons down the road though
I hadn't paid attention to the 'season' thing before, but looking back on it I'm a bit confused. Each season is 5 episodes, but there are a number of games that aren't part of the seasons. What's in and what's out of the seasons? Is there something that connects the games within a season? A point system? I've watched several videos (Including the first one - I guess I was a day 1 viewer) but missed this.
Seasons are basically just a way for us to group commanders together. We plan and play 4 "regular season" games and the winning deck of each plays in the finale, with the favorite of each playing in a fan favorites match. Us separating into groups of 4 just makes it easier for us to personally organize, there isn't a ton of reasoning outside of that. While we were playing remote we strayed away from organised, seasonal games since it was really difficult to manage and build the different decks, so those ones aren't really part of any season. All in all, the seasonal structure is more for our organization than anything
Because it would have given him the chance to untap while still drawing that extra card. I wanted the remora on the battlefield for my other opponent's turns to dissuade them from playing cards, but I wanted to destroy it before Jordan got too many chances to find answers he had the Mana to cast
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG i don't follow your explanation. At that point he hadn't drawn any cards yet, only the one from you casting the Pyroblast, so if you wait until his turn he has to decide to either pay the tax to keep it around or not, which if he does it strains his mana so he can't cast Breya that same turn if he doesn't draw a land (that could also be the one he got from the pyroblast). At that point you still can Pyroblast a threat he casts or decide to blast the fish before your turn. Also, please take this comment as me trying to understand the thought process, not being an a**hole. Your vids help a lot in understanding these plays and that's why i wanted more detail on it. Thanks!!
@@arnauabello6464 The big reason for the timing is that I needed the Remora gone since I kept an opening hand that had a decent amount of early gameplays that would have fed the fish. I wasn't afraid of an early Breya necessarily, but I was scared of a multi-turn Remora which would set me back multiple turns. To fix this issue I waited until my other two opponents played around fish and then attempted to destroy the Remora before Jordan had access to more than 1 mana. If I had waited until after his upkeep to see if he'd pay for it (which most likely he would have since he needed to re-fill his hand) he would have access to counter magic that required more than 1 mana. I am fairly confident, at that point in the game, he would have paid for fish and held up mana rather than play Breya since Breya offers no real early game value. If he had done that it's less likely I would have been able to remove it, and if Remora had stayed around my entire early game plan would have been drastically slowed down.
Small suggestion: Could you increase the size of your logo in your thumbnails? I end up missing your videos quite often when I skim over my subbox because it's just not that recognizable at that small size. And I generally don't press notification bells cuz they get obnoxious really quickly.

A webcam in addition to a cheap microphone arm is really all you need to get started. There are arms as cheap as $13-15 on Amazon that will do the trick. You may need an adapter to connect the webcam to the arm depending on which webcam you have
There's only about 4-5 cards that need to realistically be played from the graveyard to get the combo going. Isochron, not forgotten, a Mana rock or two and rolling earthquake
Lacking any sort of EDH play myself right now, I really appreciate these videos. That being said, hearing “Joseph plays (insert assorted counterspell(s))” and then watching you predictably win gets kinda monotonous...
Check out the playedh discord. There’s a new game starting every 5 minutes most days. It’s all over webcam and works really well with the spell table browser
I agree. Maybe it's just me, but I feel a bit of smugness (is that a word haha) from each win too, lol. Something about the narrator winning his own game and going on about it just makes me feel some kind of way.
The big thing I was scared of was some breya shenanigans. Jordan kept asking to see cards in graveyards so I assumed if I milled everyone he could do something
Not trying to knock your win here, but is there a reason why you chose to go with Rolling Earthquake as the win instead of just simply casting Brainfreeze on your opponents for the win?
For a channel that is called "CASUALLY competitive" it certainly plays a lot of tainted pact combo decks, not sure exactly how that is casual lol, it does get boring though
Waiting until he untapped and had access to additional counter magic was the biggest reason Pyroblast was cast early. Jordans hand was empty so it was safe to assume he'd protect the remora if possible. Casting it when he was low on resources added to the chances that it'd be successfully removed
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG The player put basically his whole hand into play turn 1, I cannot imagine they would have more gas after that. I understand your thinking but doing it in the player's upkeep before they drew would of made them waste mana and possible time walk them.
@@sawgrasssewinginc8106 The thing to consider is that people generally keep opening hand with some type of control. It's not unlikely his opening hand contained some counter or way to protect his remora so keeping him low on Mana seemed worth it, especially since he dumped his hand and would fight for the remora if possible. It's also important to note that me as the Elsha player really needed the remora gone so I could start playing the game, so I couldn't risk him having a 2 CMC counterspell or some type of other protection he could have utilized with additional Mana. Also him losing 1 Mana on his turn by paying seemed irrelevant with the amount of overall Mana he had. It was likely that he had no other really big spells to play meaning the 1 Mana wasn't that useful anyway
Why say "he" and "him"? Just say "I" and "me". We all know its you playing. Sure it makes it more simple for new viewers but, it still weirds me out. Sorry to rant. Love the channel.
@@NiaTheMilkTank the channel is called Casually Competitive, what exactly is casual about running the same combos over and over? They don't use duel lands, is that it?
Jordan had enough mana to sac 2 artifacts and -4/-4 Elsha before he was able to go off in response to the prowess triggers.
Rolling Earthquake for 10,000 *only in Commander*

I absolutely love the idea of doing a whole season of maximum 200$ decks!
So not cedh? Lol
curtin1107 agree to disagree. It becomes much harder to win quickly and efficiently with budget constraints. Just based off mana add alone
$200*
How can you say they are under $200 when the stack in this game had Joesph using $150 of countermagic
ShadowRB6 on Twitch the 200 dollar budget is an idea for future videos
Already looking forward to season 4
We definitely are too! We've already been having fun building decks with the additional budget restriction for season 4 and we are really looking forward to seeing what deck suggestions we get
Anyone else hearing : "MisTra's Bauble"?
Mistress Bauble
Yeah...drove me crazy.
Yeah, he keeps saying it with a T, not sure why
Love the budget idea but still being tuned to be competitive. Looking forward to next season!
That last stack battle was intense! Very well played by all and thank you for another fantastic video!

It's also important to note that me as the Elsha player really needed the remora gone so I could start playing the game, so I couldn't risk him having a 2 CMC counterspell or some type of other protection he could have utilized with additional Mana. Also him losing 1 Mana on his turn by paying seemed irrelevant with the amount of overall Mana he had. It was likely that he had no other really big spells to play meaning the 1 Mana wasn't that useful anyway
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG Fair point, if removing a permanent is that important you must do it when shields are down for sure.
Well then, I guess I'm first after a minute. Gettum bois
I only say breya can do something...

Que hueva da el CEDH, no se que de divertido le ven algunos.
Si te avientas a jugar unos juegos, tal vez te darás cuenta
underworld breach is so problematic
Why say "he" and "him"? Just say "I" and "me". We all know its you playing. Sure it makes it more simple for new viewers but, it still weirds me out. Sorry to rant. Love the channel.
Your comment needs to be a lot longer to be called a rant, especially on the internet xD
Same BS combos over and over again
That's how cedh is. The cheapest fastest most consistent win combos.
This might not be the format for you
It's the journey that counts, not the destination.
It's almost like they're playing competitive MtG or something...
DarkEinherjar how can you honestly enjoy watching predictable matches that end with the same 3-5 cards?
@@NiaTheMilkTank the channel is called Casually Competitive, what exactly is casual about running the same combos over and over? They don't use duel lands, is that it?
