Please do pre-con week! Everyone has to pick a precon commander deck and use it as it comes out of the package. And I'm not limiting this to the Commander 2015 precons, no, I mean *all* the commander precons.
+MisterMarmalade1 Not to mention 30 seconds, even for 1 card that you already know you're looking for, is already pushing it. It really should be 45 seconds.
+Totally not Nik also why not have molternsteel + skythrix-dragon tyrant combo in your scion deck? it's the sole reason 5 color combo goes with scion instead of the other commanders because you have a built in combo with your commander along with the hermit druid combo
Parnell misplayed between 38:00 and 39:00. Warp Pridemage, Cast Food Chain, Kill table with Purphoros triggers. Also on minute 26, like said previously, Pridemage takes 1 to activate.
Fun games. I just don't understand how decks filled to the brim with tutors fail to include a Swords to Plowshares or even a Path to Exile. Now it just became games where Elesh owns up the entire board because noone bothered to include some removal in the deck.
+aayacrance In actual comp. EDH, there isn't much spot removal. Players don't willfully give themselves card disadvantage, so sweepers and card draw control the games more. You run less counterspells (unless you're Azami or Damia) and play proactively or play stax.
HugSeal42 in comp edh targeted removal is bad u need mass sweepers and with the creation of leovold spot removal has become even less rare i now usually only 1 or 2 spot removal cards in favor of tons of sweepers
I wouldn't go so far as to call it bad. Inherent card disadvantage? Naturally. But it is also crucial since one opponent can gain such an insane advantage that not losing parts of a card in value would be irrelevant. This game is an excellent example (I think, long time since I watched it). Elesh norn ran rampant and you lost far more value than you would have by including a single spot removal in a deck. I am not talking about filling the deck with spotremoval. I am talking about including 11 or 2 tutorable which you say yourself that you include even with leovold around (he wasn't around at the time of this video).
+Brendon Schmidt And also for mulligans aren't you supposed to set aside however many cards you wish, draw that many, and THEN shuffle in the cards set aside?
+Brendon Schmidt You're right, in Commander/EDH you set aside all the cards you wish to mulligan until you reach an acceptable hand then after you have that hand you shuffle all your mulliganed cards back into your deck
I challenge you to Unified commander: Rules: All play the same commander All other cards must be singleton between all 4 decks (only one player allowed sol ring, 1 player allowed greaves etc.)
My notes from this match: -Once again, everyone goes after Wes for whatever reason when he's clearly not even in the game. -Tutoring for 3 tutors, aka everything wrong with competitive EDH -Sound effect volume was WAY too loud compared to the normal video volume. I had to turn the volume way up just to hear well because you guys tend to mumble a lot and talk in very low voices, then sad trombone about blew my speakers out, haha. -I hope everyone got their Competitive EDH fix with this one because EDH games where everyone is tutoring every turn desperately digging for their "I win" combos are extremely boring to watch, especially when they drag on and on due to everyone apparently being so focused on comboing that they forgot to include disruption for disruption. Still appreciate what you guys do, though. This is my favorite Magic gameplay series to watch, so keep it up!
I love how Commander is really focused on having fun and playing "fair." One week there was a new guy who came to our play group and he kept boasting about his combo deck that was supposedly super OP, and that first week he did win with some cheesy combo in multiple games. The next week one of the other guys made a deck that would destroy that guy's combo deck, and the combo deck lost hard multiple games in a row. The guy got the message that if you bring a combo deck to a non-competitive Commander game the rest of us will bury you with decks made to counter it. Since then he switched to playing more fun, relaxed commander decks and we're all back to having fun.
These videos are getting better and better, thanks for putting them out! Would you guys switch up seats every couple of episodes? I think it would help change the dynamic of the games.
+Don Atherton Jon should be the Archenemy. Sadly, he would still probably win because Wes would counter one of Stephen's spells and then Stephen would kill Wes leaving Justin to fight Jon.
justin could've won at 38:30 chaos warp the pride mage then play food chain. pay 30 life for 10 mana then food chain his guys on board and cast prossh at least 3 times.
I'm pausing so I'm not done but hell that was funny. I'm watching with my headphones and I hear about choices, then they use the temple head.... that's awesome
He also misplayed game 2 by demonic tutoring for Purphoros, saccing Prossh to ashnods altar, then recasting dealing everyone 16 damage to everyone else, killing Stephen Green, Wes Wise, Venser, and half healthing Jon Suarez, Suarez wouldn't be able to kill Justin at 33 life so the pass back would simply be a sac and recasting or Prossh to kill Jon.
I know this has been a year, I was just rewatching and looked at Jon Suarez's decklist. He only has 98 cards on the list.... That is not including the now banned Prophet.
nice battle, but I have to say it didn't seem all to competitive, either I have a very competitive meta or they lack that competitive feel in their play style
When Stephen birthing pod'd for Elesh Norn, Jon was saying Justin could not sacrifice his tokens to Prossh. I can't see why he couldn't. I realize it wouldn't have mattered one way or the other. I'm just wondering the underlying ruling there.... Thanks.
Elesh Norn's effect is state based meaning all creatures get -2/-2 before priority can be passed. In response to casting elesh norn you can sacrifice or in response to pod being activated. If elesh norn's ability said when she enters the battlefield creatures get -2/-2 then you would be able to respond.
Around 24 minutes, when Stephen drew the entomb, he could have entombed alter of dementia, swung with Sun Titan to bring it back, then played Birthing Pod and still had 1 mana available to sac Titan, getting Boonweaver and executing the combo. That's all taking Thalia into account. With Wes mostly tapped out, Parnell with only green up (potentially relevant for Nature's Claim), and Suarez on derevi prison which is usually light on counters I would have gone for it.
How about a game of obscure tribal commander decks? I suppose you could do a regular tribal theme like elves vs merfolk vs zombies vs goblins, but it might be more fun using less common ones, like wolves and cats?
Yes! Finally competitive decks! Also STAXXXXXX... Btw parnell could have won if he chaos warped the flesh norn EOT, cast food chain and comboed with Prossh
Viewer request** I would love to see some quality Serdris, the Traitor King gameplay. Love you guys and I hope to see you in Atlanta in November! Thanks!
So blood artist makes target player lose life, not each opposing player. So couldn't Steven decide who came in 3rd vs 2nd? (Not that he would likely have decided different since Suarez was in the points lead, but still). Zulaport Cuttthroat does say that each player loses said amount of life, if that were the card in play this force the loop to not concede shenanigans would have made sense.
Reivalark can't even get back boonweaver giant though is the problem though. It's power is 4 so his combo actually fizzled since he didn't have saffi on field or graveyard.
I feel like Wes was playing Kingmaker, unknowingly. Why didn't he blow up the skull clamp? It would make Justin a lot more manageable, but most likely giving Jonathan certain victory. Furthermore, Wes could have used Pull from Eternity when Jonathan used Venser on Gradle, setting him back quite a bit, mana wise.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't Justin have won earlier with Purphoros and Food Chain? Like, play Food Chain, sac Brutalizer Exarch, cast Prossh, go infinite with Food Chain, get infinite damage?
nope he could've won. chasos warp the pride mage. then food chain. the pay 30 lifr for 10 red mana. food chain his creatures on board for 29 mana and just cast prossh 3 times
I really think they have a beef against cEDH (Competitive EDH) and the music is meant to underline how much they despise combo victories. From a showmanship perspective though, it's partly understandable. But as a viewer I wouldn't mind there being more cEDH games. I like skillful play, and badly playing your deck to make things more "fun" makes me angry.
You should make decks for each other. That, would be funny. Draw names from a hat. I would love to see Esteban Verde build for the lovely Wes 'cast nada' Wise. Dooo it!
And why did nt Wes cast his general instead of passing turn after turn after turn without doing anything? Also he could have used the gsz and tried to save himself. Did the director say that wes has to lose this game
Im new to EDH but i would like to see a commander versus where u can only use cards from the set ur commander is in and the set an opposing commander is from. Ex: if u use Drana, liberator of malakir as ur commander and ur opponent uses tasigur the golden fang as his/her's thn u can only use cards from the BFZ and khans block.
And each of their commanders would have to be from completely different sets and u cant mirror pick. So if drana chose to copy tasigur thn tasigur cant choose drana. All depends on who picks first i suppose
PAUPER COMMANDER! I want to see at least one game with you guys playing all commons (except for your commander, which can be any* common/uncommon creature). It'll be great (maybe)! *Invisible Stalker and Psychatog are banned as commanders and Whispersilk Cloak is banned as a card in the 99.
It's funny that for the longest time Justin could have won by playing that food chain, as pridemage wouldn't be able to stop the "exile" of prosh and just he can just play it. Plus if he was tha worried he could have just chaos warped the pridemage on his turn then won.
If the reason for having the search timer is to give a player incentive to not spend his entire turn searching (so as to not affect the flow of the game and other players) it should be fair that once the player passes his turn, his clock no longer counts down. This way, a player who just needs to tutor up a land but has nothing else to do for the turn can do so while other players are taking their turns, thus, not affecting the flow of the game nearly as much. However, should someone not pass their turn and continue to search because they are looking for a combo piece and are simply taking way too long (with the intention of either searching again or continuing their turn) then the counter should still award negative points at the 30 second interval because in this case the behavior is affecting the flow of the game and is slowing things down for everybody else. Yes, it was one hell of a run on sentence, but the point I am trying to make is there. I think this would improve the flow of the game whilst still keeping the scoring system fair and providing enough incentive to pass the turn.
Watching this 7 years later and still can’t see why justin needed Earthcraft. Just don’t cast it and sac Prossh, gain the 7 in any colour, add the missing colours, plus tax, recast Prossh, then restart the loop now saccing the kobolds for mana as well, once you have generated the infinite mana and alot of kobolds then do whatever you want, draw your deck, do whatever you like. Unless I’m seeing it all wrong
Hey I got a match up from a list of some of the most annoying commanders play against. Here they are Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Nekusar, the Mindrazer, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, and Memnarch.
Could we see Allies Vs Atogs Vs Slivers VS Dragons or any combination of 4 Five colour tribal decks? I think Slivers and Allies would have to be there for sure though

New rule: if Wes is the first one to die all other players get -2 points.
+x1teDota wes is going to start playing necropotence then
+BlankLotus Perhaps if Wes is the first to die from combat damage the person who killed him directly loses 2 and everyone else loses 1?
BlankLotus he should be playing necro anyways becuz its the best draw card in edh
Coluldn't wes have just won on turn 2 by casting the hermit druid? Yes, someone might have had removal, but he had FoW + blue card for protection....
+Jake Blaszak Narcromemba comes in, after milling, and he had a Bloodghast in hand. That's turn 3 Dread Return Flashback.
***** And it wouldn't be the first time....
+aethertech Dude as soon as he passed turn I was so damn mad. That would've been his first on camera win on TURN 3. So saddening
+aethertech dude totally unrelated but are you the same person on /r/edh ?
+Joep Meerts Not the same name but I did comment on the thread for this video. The plot thickens!
Please do pre-con week! Everyone has to pick a precon commander deck and use it as it comes out of the package.
And I'm not limiting this to the Commander 2015 precons, no, I mean *all* the commander precons.
No you should get 30 seconds for EACH card you are tutoring for. It's not plausible to search for three cards in 30 seconds. That's bullshit.
+MisterMarmalade1 Not to mention 30 seconds, even for 1 card that you already know you're looking for, is already pushing it. It really should be 45 seconds.
MisterMarmalade1 I
"The choices are yours, and yours alone." 22:19
I jumped.
Pretty funny how Wes could have easily won both games but he didn't
+Totally not Nik also why not have molternsteel + skythrix-dragon tyrant combo in your scion deck? it's the sole reason 5 color combo goes with scion instead of the other commanders because you have a built in combo with your commander along with the hermit druid combo
+Totally not Nik AND THEN HE WASTES FORCE OF WILL ON PATTERN OF REBIRTH. HOLY CRAP.
Ok but why kill Wes instead of John though John would got less points and Wes is almost at -3 if lose anymore points
Parnell misplayed between 38:00 and 39:00. Warp Pridemage, Cast Food Chain, Kill table with Purphoros triggers. Also on minute 26, like said previously, Pridemage takes 1 to activate.
Just about to watch the episode. So happy you finally did a full competitive episode!
Fun games. I just don't understand how decks filled to the brim with tutors fail to include a Swords to Plowshares or even a Path to Exile. Now it just became games where Elesh owns up the entire board because noone bothered to include some removal in the deck.
+HugSeal42 Wes could have a Shriekmaw on his deck and tutor it with survival... also could Justin with the exarch...
+aayacrance In actual comp. EDH, there isn't much spot removal. Players don't willfully give themselves card disadvantage, so sweepers and card draw control the games more. You run less counterspells (unless you're Azami or Damia) and play proactively or play stax.
Justin had a Chaos Warp in hand all the time

came back to rewatch this. they all had the win so many different times
If you announce what you're searching for and pass turn...it shouldn't be a timer. You're not taking away from game play time really.
+Brendon Schmidt And also for mulligans aren't you supposed to set aside however many cards you wish, draw that many, and THEN shuffle in the cards set aside?
+Brendon Schmidt agreed it shouldn't matter but sometimes it does so meh.
+Brendon Schmidt i think you shuffle then draw for maximum randomness but i'm not sure.
+Nick Lacey in modern/standard and whatnot yes, but EDH I believe is different.
+Brendon Schmidt You're right, in Commander/EDH you set aside all the cards you wish to mulligan until you reach an acceptable hand then after you have that hand you shuffle all your mulliganed cards back into your deck
keep it up guys this series was already awesome it just getting better
I challenge you to Unified commander:

Still appreciate what you guys do, though. This is my favorite Magic gameplay series to watch, so keep it up!
You guys need to set up some commander versus LIVE with Danny! You guys should do that at the seminar, it would be awesome.
Wes, why did you not cast Hermit Druid on turn two.
I love how Commander is really focused on having fun and playing "fair." One week there was a new guy who came to our play group and he kept boasting about his combo deck that was supposedly super OP, and that first week he did win with some cheesy combo in multiple games.

Don't know if it's just me but sound seems off around 22:00
omg the reference to legends of the hidden temple was amazing
i'd love to see The Mimeoplasm again. great games, guys!
These videos are getting better and better, thanks for putting them out! Would you guys switch up seats every couple of episodes? I think it would help change the dynamic of the games.
How about a Commander V.s. with Plansechase?
They've done that I believe it was the April fools video
Archenemy?
+Op Zero Film's If they played archenemy they should just make Wes the archenemy lol.
It would give him a chance at actually winning.
+Don Atherton Jon should be the Archenemy. Sadly, he would still probably win because Wes would counter one of Stephen's spells and then Stephen would kill Wes leaving Justin to fight Jon.
justin could've won at 38:30
chaos warp the pride mage then play food chain. pay 30 life for 10 mana then food chain his guys on board and cast prossh at least 3 times.
I'm pausing so I'm not done but hell that was funny. I'm watching with my headphones and I hear about choices, then they use the temple head.... that's awesome
10:28 I love Search for Tomorrow! Such a good card!
48:00 missed academy reactor trigger
WES WISE with that commentary tho... 1:44:57
I would like to get that Prosh decklist if possible
8:17 i am pretty sure game rules specify that 'win the game' is actually just 'everyone else loses'
You guys should try a Thraximundar deck! I have a grixis control EDH deck with Thrax as the general.
Parnell misplayed at minute 26. he should have gotten rid of the elesh norn with the chaos warp then cast food chain then go infinite
He also misplayed game 2 by demonic tutoring for Purphoros, saccing Prossh to ashnods altar, then recasting dealing everyone 16 damage to everyone else, killing Stephen Green, Wes Wise, Venser, and half healthing Jon Suarez, Suarez wouldn't be able to kill Justin at 33 life so the pass back would simply be a sac and recasting or Prossh to kill Jon.
+Don Atherton by not demonic tutoring for Purphoros*
+smapson54 Suarez was holding onto venser mana so the food chain wouldn't have resolved
+Don Atherton yeah, with the Hushwing on the field, you can't trigger purph.
I know this has been a year, I was just rewatching and looked at Jon Suarez's decklist. He only has 98 cards on the list....
That is not including the now banned Prophet.

No matter what you're playin, I love you guys
Why didn't Justin cast Chaos Warp on Qasali Pridemage, then cast Food Chain and win
Around 24 minutes, when Stephen drew the entomb, he could have entombed alter of dementia, swung with Sun Titan to bring it back, then played Birthing Pod and still had 1 mana available to sac Titan, getting Boonweaver and executing the combo. That's all taking Thalia into account.

where can i get those dices?
I want to see an actual Scion deck be used with dragons
There was one done I believe it's an older four player match
+xLadyDangerx Nah that was McDarby's troll "S" deck that didn't deserve to be called dragon tribal.
No "Death Tax" on Derevi's "put into play" ability. It's not being cast from the command zone. Jonathan incorrectly ups the count each time.
Hahahaha Legends of the Hidden Temple at 22:35
Why did Wes lose a life at 15:30?
I really want to see one of these with the Unset legendary creatures.
+Catherine Batts Frankie Peanuts v. Richard Garfield, PHD!
22:39 WTF, is that from Legends from the Hidden Temple?
You guys should do themed Ravnica decks with your favourite guilds! I love the Ravnican flavour.
Reivalark can't even get back boonweaver giant though is the problem though. It's power is 4 so his combo actually fizzled since he didn't have saffi on field or graveyard.
Well, I have some time. But I don't have THIS much time to watch this. I guess I will be back later.
Can you guys please turn down the volume levels on your sound effects (like when you lose points and stuff)? It's SO loud compared to the video.
+The Wretch Also stop flicking the edges of cards when you put them on the table. I hate that.
I feel like Wes was playing Kingmaker, unknowingly. Why didn't he blow up the skull clamp? It would make Justin a lot more manageable, but most likely giving Jonathan certain victory. Furthermore, Wes could have used Pull from Eternity when Jonathan used Venser on Gradle, setting him back quite a bit, mana wise.
At 25:47 justin taps his Arid masa for mana without fetching
There was an Urborg in play, letting him tap that for black mana.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't Justin have won earlier with Purphoros and Food Chain? Like, play Food Chain, sac Brutalizer Exarch, cast Prossh, go infinite with Food Chain, get infinite damage?
Stephen would have destroyed food chain
nope he could've won. chasos warp the pride mage. then food chain. the pay 30 lifr for 10 red mana. food chain his creatures on board for 29 mana and just cast prossh 3 times
how did Suarez play Rhystic Study with 4 lands when Thalia was out? He only had 4 lands a land a pilgrim which swung.
+Dean Fessenden Rhystic study is three mana. gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=24589
+Era al'Thor. Must have read it wrong when they showed it. Sadpart is I play Rhystic Study in my Niv deck.
WHO IS BREATHING INTO THE MIC?! OH MY GOD!
Wes, why didn't you cast Scrion in the second game so you could block Jon's mana dorks? You may as well not have a commander.
Justin could have killed either stephen or wes just by using this kessig wolf run that he drew in game 2
Whats up with the circus music to portray a combo going off Lol?
I really think they have a beef against cEDH (Competitive EDH) and the music is meant to underline how much they despise combo victories. From a showmanship perspective though, it's partly understandable. But as a viewer I wouldn't mind there being more cEDH games. I like skillful play, and badly playing your deck to make things more "fun" makes me angry.
I agree, play the best you can, but don't make a deck that says "Target Magic Game becomes Solitaire".
"Games can't be fun unless I'm the only one having all the fun"
You should make decks for each other. That, would be funny. Draw names from a hat. I would love to see Esteban Verde build for the lovely Wes 'cast nada' Wise. Dooo it!
Why is this the only time they play with foils? Are these the decks they actually own?
what was that first point jon got?
why didn't John Suarez get prophet instead of seedborn Muse
Stephen did deserve the win tho...he actually played pretty well, knew the combo and did it without waiting too long
How did Stephen get boonweaver giant off of academy rector??? Isn't he only supposed to get an enchantment????
+Daniel McInnis He didn't exile academy rector, he sac'ed it with Pattern of Rebirth enchanting it.
I know it is all friendly fun, but it always feels bad when people just gang up on Wes all the time :(
That reference at 22:45 though
And why did nt Wes cast his general instead of passing turn after turn after turn without doing anything? Also he could have used the gsz and tried to save himself. Did the director say that wes has to lose this game
Can you use Gave,Guru of Spores
He is my commander and I want see what your take on it is
You guys should try 1 drop commanders, if there's enough of them
next game should use the the 3 avacyn angels that are multi colored
the forth could be avacyn or some other powerful legendary angel
Danny West would be proud of you Stephen Green.
One of you should go for a mazes end deck
what about playing the exact opposite? Could you guys play a game were you have the craziest decks ex: pheldagriff hippos tribal
Im new to EDH but i would like to see a commander versus where u can only use cards from the set ur commander is in and the set an opposing commander is from. Ex: if u use Drana, liberator of malakir as ur commander and ur opponent uses tasigur the golden fang as his/her's thn u can only use cards from the BFZ and khans block.
And each of their commanders would have to be from completely different sets and u cant mirror pick. So if drana chose to copy tasigur thn tasigur cant choose drana. All depends on who picks first i suppose
I would suggest that one of you would play Wort, the raidmother
if you deal damage to yourself... is it still considered first blood?
+Sariya Katsuo happened in episode 3. No it doesn't even attacking planeswalkers doesn't work.
PAUPER COMMANDER! I want to see at least one game with you guys playing all commons (except for your commander, which can be any* common/uncommon creature). It'll be great (maybe)!
*Invisible Stalker and Psychatog are banned as commanders and Whispersilk Cloak is banned as a card in the 99.

Unless I’m seeing it all wrong
Also if you were scared of Khasali pridmage don't be if you cast foodchain
Hey I got a match up from a list of some of the most annoying commanders play against. Here they are Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Nekusar, the Mindrazer, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, and Memnarch.
no offense parnell, but this is genuinely the only time I would rather have you win then Stephen green
Here's a fun idea:
Olivia Voldaren: Vampires
vs
Grim Grin: Zombies
vs
Geist of St. Traft: Spirits
Blood Artist targets the drain....Not all opponents.
+db3dbms While true, I don't think it actually changed that much for the last combo.
+Shiftingdead and who's first place in points? It changed nothing.
he meant to get zuluport cutthroat not blood artist
DAT Elesh Norn man.
I think what disappoints me the most is how your own points system kept you guys from actually playing a decent game with these decks.
I really want to see one of you guys do a proper Glissa, the Traitor synergy based artifact deck.
Loved the games, but as a side note.. The sound effects are incredibly loud in comparison to the rest of the video.
Could we see Allies Vs Atogs Vs Slivers VS Dragons or any combination of 4 Five colour tribal decks? I think Slivers and Allies would have to be there for sure though
You forgot to edit in the leaderboard this week.
wes is the typical example of "money doesn't buy skills"
Llawgyffes Plus he's a fat,rude,mean-spirited little man,as Danny Devito said in 'Death to Smoochy',"Where's your etiquette?"
Anyone else notice Wes couldn't have transmuted with only 1 blue mana?
Man, I want to see a Bruna deck on here more than anything
Nice to see my favorite player get a win. Well Done Stephen Green!
"we're gonna combo kill each other as fast as possible"
...when the episode is 2 HOURS LONG
Olivia Vampire tribal v Krenko goblin tribal v Ezuri elves tribal v Grimgrin Zombie tribal
+JakusTheGamer I'm not really interested in seeing Elves/Goblins win before the other decks really set up.
slivers and dragons instead
+aayacrance Bladewing is pretty fun
edric elves and Olivia vamps are underpowered comparatively. grimgrin is just a combo deck
