For those confused, Reflections of Littjara doesn't actually create tokens, which is what Primal Vigor's replacement effect looks for. It copies a spell, and copies of permanent spells become tokens, but this doesn't count as creating tokens.
Sidar Jabari is a really well designed commander. His eminence ability doesn’t feel busted but synergizes well with his combat damage ability when you get him into the field. That ability actually encourages players to cast him and not leave him in the command zone, unlike EM
You couldn't have cast Woodelves at 2:37 because you didn't have a green mana source as Rockfall Vale would have entered tapped (you didn't control 2 other lands).
@@MTGMuddstah i dont think its an issue here since i trust in your deck having literally any untapped dual land. its funny to me that u picked exactly that one when searching tho!
Don't counters that are placed onto the Ozolith get doubled from the Primal Vigor, and then the counters get doubled again when the Ozolith puts them onto a creature?
2:34 : Normally, Rockfall vale should have etb tapped, am I right? I don't think it's a big deal, though, since you could have fetched a rootbound crag or a forest instead
Great timing. I was about to take apart my Myrkul deck because wasn't really enjoying what it did. Either locked the game out too early until it found its combo, or it was just too slow, so was looking for a different Abzan deck and I was thinking bout Vishgraz for a while and yeah I think this give some the green light for the conversion.
I didn´t get it. What happened? After showing the started hands, what did you mean by " Yes! I know"? And why showing your oppening hand? I am so confused! Can someone please explain??
He kept a one lander leaning hard on Sol Ring and gamble to not just immediately lock himself out of playing the game. He constantly gets comments like "don't keep one landers!" So he knew he was going to catch flak in the comment section for it. Why he showed his opponents I'm not sure, but I imagine it's because they're very casual and it's not that serious so Andrew didn't really care.
His hand was Sol Ring, Mountain, Gamble and four green cards, a very greedy opener that require him to either topdeck a land that tapped for green mana or Gamble for one and hope not to discard it. It paid off in the end (despite him not getting a land that entered untapped, but everyone on the table missed that), but if he had discarded that land, he would've been screwed.
So did the vale player cast the bridge for six with lands and mana rocks and used her mana to activate it or did they use vales mana to both cast the bridge and activate it
I think it was a narration error, because Kevin tapped his four lands and Sol Ring, which he only needed to do because Vhal's mana couldn't be spent to cast the Bridge.
Gotta be honest, kevin played like crap this match. Completely removed and countered the wrong things this game. Threat assessment was way off from him.

I would have never thought of that background pairing for Vhal. Super interesting
That val build is so fun and interesting to play. Saw it on this channel a few months back and had to try it out myself
@MTGMuddstah, do you know when the Vishgraz deck will be released? I am really curious about the decklist 🤩😬
I'm still waiting myself.
Rockfall Veil would've come in tapped. Sorry just thought it was funny. Glad the hand sort of worked out for you though haha
Yeah that messed with me too. I assume he thought he grabbed his copperline.
I assume he does this just to get comments 😂
Correct. I should, in theory, have gotten another land. For some reason I thought Vale came in untapped at that time.
Always approve of a Sum 41 reference 👏
Came here to say this. Cheers to you, mate 👍

The swords to plowshares on sidar was a weird call considering he discarded worthy knight. Which isn't exactly threatening
Yup, completely wasted that spell considering what else was on the board. He didn't properly threat assess
Why ever hold back the mites, they can't block anyway...

No. Primal Vigor only doubles counters placed on creatures.
Reference in your video title is appreciated :)
2:36
Rockfall Vale should've entered tapped here.

At 8:20 Arca attacks with 6 mite tokens with toxic 1 so that means he should get 6 poison counters and not 5.
One of the mites was blocked, only 5 did combat damage to the player.
How about the green outlast creatures from Khans of Tarkir?

I want the hobbit precon (which is also Abzan) to tinker with.
enjoying the new Commanders in these past couple of videos
was starting to feel like i was seeing certain Commanders a lil often
Great game. I agree everyone had chances to get their decks going.
Out of all my commanders sidar has been my favorite !!
Huh... I just realized it: did Kevin use Vhal's mana to cast Planar Bridge, or was it a narration error?
No he used the mana to activate planar bridge
@@louismauguen2076 This
Will the Vishgraz deck list be posted ?
I'll ask Arca again for the list.
No vishgraz Decklist? 😢
I'm so sad too
that got complicated rly fast o.o
Guys im slow and reread all the cards in his hand. Why did he reveal to the table?
Probably to show just how risky it was.
I didn´t get it. What happened?
After showing the started hands, what did you mean by " Yes! I know"? And why showing your oppening hand? I am so confused!
Can someone please explain??
I might need an explanation too

Why couldn't Halana block? She has reach
Andrew didn't mention it, but Kevin activated Rogue's Passage to make Vhal unblockable.
So did the vale player cast the bridge for six with lands and mana rocks and used her mana to activate it or did they use vales mana to both cast the bridge and activate it
I think it was a narration error, because Kevin tapped his four lands and Sol Ring, which he only needed to do because Vhal's mana couldn't be spent to cast the Bridge.
@@DarkEinherjar ok thanks for clarifying
It’s more the fact that eminence is a thing again which is why some players are annoyed

Sick game, but was it really necessary to put pronouns?
Yes
@@MTGMuddstah I'm not meaning to be disrespectful but it's a game of magic and it seems unnecessary
@@sambuss7764 it’s important to me.
@@sambuss7764 it's a good thing he didn't check with you whether or not it was necessary then eh
Why would it not be necessary to refer to people in a way that makes them comfortable?
