      Wouldn't this require making them win through alternate win cons? Usually, you win through elimination. I'm not that well-versed on random options in MTG. How many alternate win cons can target other players?

      @@blakethesnake6686 This is a decent idea, but to be a good game you need pentagram like rules as well. With a 4 player pod you'd be trying to make the person to your left win, and this enables attacks to try to stop someone from winning. It gets sticky though because pay life effects essentially read the person to your right can't win the game. There are also far more and more powerful options for making players lose life than there are for making opponents gain life. You'd likely need to prohibit negative life totals because of this, and then you're still stuck with people choosing not to block so they don't lose. You could make combat damage cause life gain, but at that point you've basically just flipped life gain and loss.

    Not sure what other interesting challenges the Clash gang can try, but maybe something like Archenemy or Planechase commander for a one-off episode?
    Another thing that might be hard logistically in paper is playing Commander with one of the weird Arena emblems?

    I really enjoyed this one. I wouldn't want to see these regularly, but going way out like 4 times a year wouldn't be too much.

    Lavinia Renegade sounds like a great commander for this scenario^^

    I like how Seth said Richard had “figured it out” by playing rograkh for the free interaction, when it literally looked like Richard was playing aslightly changed rogsi cedh list 😂

    This probably breaks the record for the most games played in one video. Lol good one!

    That was fantastic. The format needs injections of creativity like this, since there's rarely room to build weird stuff anymore with the power level precons start at.

    The power and speed was fun to watch. Would love to see some cedh on the channel!

    This episode was so much fun 🎉 I love the concept. Would be awesome to see more whacky commander games. Gonna suggest this theme for a game night for sure 👏👏

    Being relatively new magic, I was surprised to see the game last 45 minutes when I read the title. Now I see.
