@@AraAraAraAraAraAraAraAraAra I think grave Titan only attacked on the last swing and not sure if that power mattered to kill the professor. But yea the whole rooftop storm for grave Titan is the biggest misplay that would’ve changed the outcome of the game lol
Not that it was egregious either, but Matt was doing Lightfoot Rogue wrong as well. You only add the single box that your die roll falls in, not every single box before it as well.
I love the goofy editing mixed with the kinda scuffed gameplay cuz it makes it feel more like I’m hanging with the bois playing magic than some other shows. I also love shuffle up and play so this collaboration was perfect.
Really nice job with the edit, especially leaving the cards on the screen that the previous players played, incredibly useful. And no other commander channel really does that
38:57, this is actually incorrect, but the reasoning the judge makes aligns with what we've been doing for all the other similar effects in the game. Sefris must be on the battlefield for the "when one or more creature cards [...]" to trigger, and if Sefris is destroyed with all other creatures, it does *not* trigger (because it looks for cards not creatures). This is noted in the Rulings section on Oracle.
Another rule mishap that I didn't see mentioned yet: @38:43 Sefris asks for creature cards being put into the graveyard from anywhere, this is different from a leaves-the-battlefield ability. Because of this, she needs to be on the board when other creature cards hit the graveyard, it won't trigger when she leaves the battlefield at the same time as other creatures.
Ive been watching commander videos for years. And finally finding more channels that play at least a little competitive is such a great watch. It teaches how to use the stack properly and how some cards work in ways you haven't thought of. And Prof will always be one of my favorites
I’ve been teaching a friend how to play mtg the past couple of months. Watching people relatively new to the game fall in love with it is something that will truly never get old 😊
25:38 bit of advice for people you can swords to plowshare at the beginning of combat before attackers are declared but after the first main phase is exited so people can't reequip their equipments.
By default, that is what happens if a player says they are going to combat. Unless the player casting the spell explicitly states they are casting it during the main phase, it is assumed it is being cast at the beginning of combat, which would prevent the player from continuing their main phase. But it's nice that it's also legal to let him stay in the main phase, to give him a break. Even if he knew he could prevent Matt from equipping, I think he was happy to let him re-equip, to soften the blow of losing his commander.
Charlie has reached the ultimate game. I'm so, so glad he is in this space now. We just need Posty to come back for the ultimate game's ultimate collaboration.
Part of what I like about watching you guys play is catching the misplays. Wish I could get out and play commander with a chill group of friends like this.
Saw Charlie was on TCC the other day, was hoping he would come visit the guys here too. And great to see Professor a bit more relaxed. Great video boys.
Adding block constructed cards to a correlating deck usually makes it more fun. Hence the haha. But it works better with cards from that block. Lots of room for fun interactions. Especially with immovable rod.
Congratulations, you are the 1.000.000th player that thinks Grave Titan is a Zombie. You win sass from a commentor on UA-cam. 🥳 What really cracked me up was the close up on the card image and even the editor didn't realize. 😂
Been following for a long, long time and I absolutely love the recent surge of passion for Magic from the gang and I'd love to find myself slinging cards one day at an event!

I love seeing the prof all over my UA-cam feed. It’s so weird that I only found out about prof when him and Rudy were playing with some vintage magic decks like forever ago.
I love seeing charlie in the magic community, as someone who used to play very lightly and just played casually now he makes me want to get reintroduced and find people to play seriously with like this!
The guys are fresh to the game and these are rookie mistakes. Just glad y'all are having fun, rules will get better with time. Had a great time watching.
Good game! A suggestion for Charlie: try to cast instants and abilities as late as possible on your opponent's turns instead of your own, especially if you can't do anything meaningful that turn anyway. Not only can this surprise them, but also protect you against discard/removal etc. It's also always better to act when you have more information.
Casting that [[Grave Titan]] at 19:16 for zero mana kind of warped the game, but overall that was a fun game. Also liked the chill vibes a lot compared to some other EDH content creators that are faster paced with non-stop hysterical chatter back and forth, will definitely watch more of your games if they're as relaxed as this one!
@@SnipingDragoit’s a replacement cost, it’s 0 instead of 4 and 2 black so he doesn’t have to pay any black. If it was legal that is, cause grave titan isn’t a zombie lol
Love seeing two esper decks being piloted at the same time. Literally have both of them built not to mention Kamiz and the eminence knight deck. Aaaaaaand esper urza lol
6:50 So I like how he says it doesn't matter. Because spindowns have the same odds, it doesn't matter what order they're in. Of all the takes MTG players have this is the only one that bugs me because it's ignoring basic math. I've been a DM for a while now. I truly don't care which one you use, because they both have the same odds.
Love seeing the Prof on, the channel is getting better and better. Normally I wouldn't throw my hat in the ring about freecasting Grave Titan off of Rooftop Storm, but the amount of zombies and raw damage that effected the game makes it a pretty big deal. Definitely warped the game a bit. Other than that cool game 😎

Prof being nice watching all the misplays and not saying anything but definitely screaming in his head "READING THE CARD EXPLAINS THE CARD"
I'll agree to that. Why be a party pooper and ruin the fun. I've definitely been on the other end, just killing vibes lol

props to prof for not coming in with the, respectfully, "Um, actually" when calcing the damage on the final hit. he just rolled with it.
maybe you need a professor so you can spell shit right

Hearing the Professor curse and it not be Emrakul'd was fun. :)
Also, a class act giving shout outs to basically everyone but himself.
@7:51 Charlie should be at 34. Lose 2 life from Vamp Tutor, 2 life for Godless Shrine, and lose another 2 for using Ancient Tomb.
Lmao
it's okay man lmao
he posted about it😭
Prof of all people being one of the first Magic content creators to play with someone as big as Charlie makes me so happy.
youve got my sub! never heard of this channel until now after seeing the game with Charlie on TCC
Prof using his time to plug other creators was top notch.
Love seeing the prof and Charlie in two back to back guest features
Great to see the prof on the show. Looking forward to a lot more guests from the great magic YT community. Well, provided they dare to come to Florida
This videos editing instantly made me like this show, its so good and funny as hell
I can see why you made a shock collar episode, and I would like more of it. There were so many misplays happened but still a fun game to watch!

All this dope collaborations in mtg, this is the brightest timeline
It's great to see Charlie featuring small time creators like The Professor on his channel.
That went from father and son to lovers really quickly! Wild.
Edits on this are great tbh, game was easy to follow and funny to watch
Charlie, it makes me so happy to see two content creators i followed independently cross over like this.
I fricking love the Prof and Charlie duo, it's awesome to see them inviting each other to their shows!
This feels like a game you would play at a lgs and I love it.

IT’S THE COLLAB OF ALL COLLABS
Idk how I've missed this channel, but im here now. Lol. These 3 are great! So was that grave titan. 😉😅
This game was so intense imo, loved every moment of it! Can't wait for more MTG and DnD coming into the channel!
I love that 2 of my favorite content creators are playing together my new head cannon is that charlie and prof are besties
Grave Titan is a giant not a zombie so charlie couldn’t have played it for 0 :(
Low energy prof is pretty awesome actually:) hes just vibing with everyone and chilling haha i think he doesnt feel the pressure to host
They were nicer to prof gameplay wise than anyone has ever been on Shuffle Up 😆
I love this skill check channel . Im so ready for the booster box battles .
What an awesome collab. Certainly not one I ever thought I'd see
New Idea. Instead of shock collars you have to eat the hottest peppers known to man if you make a misplay.
Thank you so much for giving me my fix after the Tolarian vid, godbless you
I haven’t even started the video yet, but I’m definitely excited to see the big deck energy the prof gives off
When you play with the professor you know you’ve made it in the magic community
I'm on minute 2 and Matt is playing the most complex trigger commander AGAIN hahahah that's so funny
I need Prof + Charlie on a weekly basis.
