keep up the good work! these are my favorite magic gameplay videos because they arent about who is famous or advertising a new set. its about cool magic with friends which is what got me into playing in the first place! TY!!
IHYD is my favorite EDH show ;) Love the people, love the honest talks, jokes, shenanigans. Back in a day it was a bit about famous people like Professor, Kyle Hill, Post Malone, Olivia and so on, but everything changed and now players in IHYD are just great friends and a one big family ;)
it works for both, just uses the confusing old language. Only thing that doesn't work is something like a replacement effect, a target (for clone cards that enter as X), or counters and whatnot
I think Blazing Shoal's alternative casting cost includes the red mana. You declare the value for X before paying for the spell, so it's entirely free, right? It doesn't reduce the cost, it just gives it another casting cost
i don't understand why he wasn't casting slicer for it alt cost from the command zone , he swings with car slicer with haste and then it just turns into the normal slicer , im i missing something??
Well I think I need to make a slicer deck now. That looked like a lot of fun and my mono red Imodane deck is slacking. Good games guys. Enjoyed it a lot.
For Slicer, I always thought the idea was to cast him for him 3-Mana "More Than Meets The Eye" ability. This allows you to save 2 mana on the initial cast, and the 2nd cast of your commander would be the normal 5 mana using the "More Than Meets The Eye" ability. I believe you do still have to pay commander tax while casting the alternate cost.
Just an observation, but casting the Slicer from the graveyard with Underworld Breach shouldn't have happened. The Slicerr would have been exiled when destroyed due to the Stone of Erech. But a fun game!
Nice game guys! So much politics but fair and friendly! I think escape from underworld breach doesn't work with the shoals that way though. Since escape and the shoal ability are both alternate casting costs you should have to pay mana for the shoal to escape it since you can only use one alternate cost. Same as overload + mizzix's mastery, you can't overload with that since you are already paying zero as an alternative cost.
I just really don't like Splicer in EDH. I mean, I get it, it speeds up the games alot, but whenever it hits the field, it warps the game into people playing around it, and doesn't leave a lot of other plays to happen
Damn it Kentucky was obviously more threatening than Ray in my opinion, Lynch could have hit him more with Slicer. Also calling Ray out as he is basically just playing his deck wasn't fair Kentucky haha Anyway great game as always !
That definitely was a game with slicer in it :) Certainly was a game where Slicer existed, you can tell by how the game went. Jokes aside, great vid as always, saw some fun cards that you don't see often, and a korlessa that I've never seen built yet!
Misplay you should’ve cast Slicer transformed for half the price and you still would’ve gotten to pass him at the beginning of the next players end step
Your intuition is correct; Blazing Shoal's controller can only exile one card to pay the alternative cost for the spell, and it also means that exiling a card exempts you from needing to pay any mana.
I honestly don't understand what's fun about piloting the slicer deck. You tap out completely all the time and other people get to play your card more than you. Where's the fun? Your opponents dying fast or something? Seems like a bad deal to travel to a friends' house to play such a warped game of commander
Is it just me or did they play Double Strike incorrectly this whole game? They "chump blocked" Slicer but their creatures would have died to the First Strike hit, then the Double Strike still would go thru, no?
magic is a weird ass game. It actually does work like how it plays in the show, the creature was still "blocked" damage wont do through unless the creature has trample
I played a game as Tivit vs Slicer.
Equipped Slicer with Sword of Hearth and Home turn 3.
Had 11 lands on turn 4.
Very memorable
The fact that he let lynch draw that many cards after he said he had fast mana is wild to me lol

Ray brings a ray of sunshine to the table😁 so fun to watch him and hear the fun stuff he says
I'm pretty sure If it says "As it enters" it doesn't get effected Torpor Orb only if it says When/Whenever it enters
true
it works for both, just uses the confusing old language. Only thing that doesn't work is something like a replacement effect, a target (for clone cards that enter as X), or counters and whatnot
*that DOES work
Correct. "As it enters" doesn't apply etb effects like "when this enters". It's technically happening as it's resolving as opposed to afterwards
When it enters and as it enters mechanically mean the same thing.
So glad to see everyone! Everyone is such good sports about all the cool shenanigans. Good job all! Have fun Randy!!
Everyone just forgot Stone of Erech existed, haha.
I think Blazing Shoal's alternative casting cost includes the red mana. You declare the value for X before paying for the spell, so it's entirely free, right?
It doesn't reduce the cost, it just gives it another casting cost
Yes
Indeed. It's either X RR or exile a red card. Not red card + RR
Yep, it's an alternate casting cost.
Correct, there was no need to pay the 2 red
So cool you have patrons on the show, I respect that anfucking lot
Miss play (stone of erech) was out when Lynch’s commander died and he sent it to the graveyard meaning it got exiled!
Another good game gents! This has always been my favorite commander content
John really be like "yuuuupp you city boy pods are different, back where im from we dont do them city boy things"
35:40 Couldn't Lynch use a Buff spell from the graveyard with Escape to buff Slicer, fizzling the Gang Up spell?
i don't understand why he wasn't casting slicer for it alt cost from the command zone , he swings with car slicer with haste and then it just turns into the normal slicer , im i missing something??
Love these quick battles I like a good long match but sometimes it’s fun seeing great players do what they’re deck is supposed to do of flop 😂
Well I think I need to make a slicer deck now. That looked like a lot of fun and my mono red Imodane deck is slacking.
Good games guys. Enjoyed it a lot.
This man talking bad of Fazoli's. Their breadsticks are amazing.

I believe you do still have to pay commander tax while casting the alternate cost.
Yeah, "commander tax" applies whenever you cast your commander from the command zone. It doesn't matter how you do it.
Just an observation, but casting the Slicer from the graveyard with Underworld Breach shouldn't have happened. The Slicerr would have been exiled when destroyed due to the Stone of Erech. But a fun game!
35:41 Missplay . John has "stone of erech". So slicer gets exiled instead
Nice game guys! So much politics but fair and friendly!
I think escape from underworld breach doesn't work with the shoals that way though. Since escape and the shoal ability are both alternate casting costs you should have to pay mana for the shoal to escape it since you can only use one alternate cost. Same as overload + mizzix's mastery, you can't overload with that since you are already paying zero as an alternative cost.
Unless I'm wrong, Lynch shouldn't have been able to recast Slicer from the yard because John had that Erech artifact? GG's either way, always fun
Those playmats look badass, but my god they make reading the board state on camera so difficult
Randy acting like hes moving to mars.
I just really don't like Splicer in EDH. I mean, I get it, it speeds up the games alot, but whenever it hits the field, it warps the game into people playing around it, and doesn't leave a lot of other plays to happen
When you chose to let Slicer die and go to the graveyard towards the end of the game, it wouldve been exiled to Stone of Erech
Fazolis has good bread sticks
Illegal play, Lych brought back slicer from the grave yard when Stone of Erech is on the board! 35:57
I Wish We Could Have More Shows. I Am On The Patreon. Such A Great Cast.
I´m here for Ray maaaan, all the way!! What a funny guy xD
Yoo Ray's laugh @ 33:30 had me rolling 💀
Might be the best pod in the show lol
Love me some John
Love me some Clark ❤
You don't have to pay the two red for blazing shoal if you use the alternate cast.
Honestly….my top 3 IHYD are: Larry, Ray and Barry. Everytime I watch Ray play; I tell myself “I should build a food deck”
Good picks. We approve. That would be a fire pod!
These are never long enough 😢 love y'all
This is how Slicer works 90% of time. You kill 2 players, and then You loose to last one.
Damn it Kentucky was obviously more threatening than Ray in my opinion, Lynch could have hit him more with Slicer. Also calling Ray out as he is basically just playing his deck wasn't fair Kentucky haha
Anyway great game as always !
So did they read torpor orb? Reading the card explains the card
Randy, where in Idaho are you thinking of moving to?
Ray has some cool decks
That definitely was a game with slicer in it :)
Certainly was a game where Slicer existed, you can tell by how the game went.
Jokes aside, great vid as always, saw some fun cards that you don't see often, and a korlessa that I've never seen built yet!
Why Slicer dont go to exile with Stone of Erech in play?
but Slicer was a vehicle, not a creature while a creature(!) destroy spell removed it at 35th minute, did i lose it, hmm..
Fazoli's head chef is a microwave
PYROBLAAAAAAST
dude really likes Tool
The not winning joke needs to go to Randy 😂 he always loses usually first
Misplay you should’ve cast Slicer transformed for half the price and you still would’ve gotten to pass him at the beginning of the next players end step
Slicer shouldn't have hit the graveyard because of stone of erech, so you wouldn't be able to cast it with underworld breach..
I feel like that Breach turn should have been turned off by Stone of Erech.
good group
Wizard of the east coast let’s gooo
Slicer is sick commander 🎉
Does anyone know the app they use to keep life count?
I believe it's lifetap. So many cool features within it too
Situations like this are what make commander annoying at times. The whole teaming up thing and just allowing someone else to win.
👍 ty for another video
Absolutely love watching slicer in action! They hate my slicer build at my LGS
I thought blazing shoal work diff...?
Correct, you don’t have to pay any mana if you exile a card
Correct. You exile a card from you hand *instead of paying the mana cost*. The exile replaces the entire cost, not just the {X} portion of it.
Your intuition is correct; Blazing Shoal's controller can only exile one card to pay the alternative cost for the spell, and it also means that exiling a card exempts you from needing to pay any mana.
It does. The alternate casting cost doesn't require you to pay any mana.
Where in the hell was black vise when everyone drew 12 cards
Hey, I live in Idaho and play magic :D
You guys seriously need to pay more attention to board states..."oh I forgot about torpor orb"...
Let's gooooo
Chaos
John complaining the whole game..
jumping slicer kinda lame
Why does card raging river not be used a lot. Talk about screwing people over
This was awful, their decks were dogshit so they had to gang up on the Slicer player.
I honestly don't understand what's fun about piloting the slicer deck. You tap out completely all the time and other people get to play your card more than you. Where's the fun? Your opponents dying fast or something? Seems like a bad deal to travel to a friends' house to play such a warped game of commander
Slicer bathes in your tears
Chumlee complains too much
Is it just me or did they play Double Strike incorrectly this whole game? They "chump blocked" Slicer but their creatures would have died to the First Strike hit, then the Double Strike still would go thru, no?
I believe that’s only if the creature also has trample
Unless the creature has trample, the 2nd hit does not go through.
magic is a weird ass game. It actually does work like how it plays in the show, the creature was still "blocked" damage wont do through unless the creature has trample
No. Unless there is trample no damage would go through
Only goes through if it has trample.
