Go cast some Inkshields for Sheldon, friends! ❤
Rest in Peace Sheldon. Your legacy will live on in our hearts and our minds as we all enjoy games of your format, Commander.
I almost just sold my inkshield.
how many bastion xl fit in the dungeon im looking to consolidate all my decks and need a head count if possible lol
@@nightbane727 5 in the 550+, 10 in the 1100+
@@EDHijinks thank you very much I figured as much but never hurts to confirm before I invest a bunch lol
“I don’t think anyone watches this show to watch the game be played well.”
Is both a great summary of the show and the coldest insult ever delivered so casually
Sheldon isn't dead, he's just back in the command zone. R.I.P
My brother once played at the WC in a Commander Side Event with Sheldon as Table Judge. One guy cheesely infinity-killed the table pretty fast. After the game,the winner collected his prices and quickly left. Sheldon then grabbed a deck and told the other players to stay and play a true Commander Game with him. Such a class act
Thank you for sharing that story. What a great representation of his character.
18:03 card note here: charming prince blinks until the next end phase, so Ken couldn’t give Adriel the boots until his next turn. Hope this helps in the future!
Honestly even late there is nothing better than Hijinks. Hope EK is feeling better!!!!! RIP to Sheldon! He’s playing Commander in the great card game in the sky. Ink Shielding everyone into oblivion with a smile.
Olivia "I'm gonna farseek" get's only land farseek can't get. lol
GG ya'll very entertaining :)
I love Farseek cause every time I see someone play it, they always get it wrong. Olivia searched for the one land that farseek doesn't actually get, the almighty forest XD.
Other than that tho, I love this channel so much and I enjoy watching every video that comes out.
just me searching through comments to find someone mentioning the farseek fiasco lol
Ah yes, elder dragon hijinks. The show I want to watch when I want to see everyone play perfectly with no mistakes ever
We don't make mistakes, just misplay perfectly!
Built a new deck in honor of sheldon this last weekend. He was a kind and thoughtful human. May he rest in peace.
Commander is very important to me, it is something my son and I share. I am grateful to Sheldon for giving this thing to the two of us. ❤❤❤
Same.
Eilidh, twenty-one minutes into a one-hour, seventeen-minute video: "If I get one more demon, I win the game." Will she do it? The suspense is killing me!
Does Olivia always let me have my fun? There's your answer 😁
I built Abdel/Candlekeep Sage recently, and while my build is a little different it plays out the same. It’s the most resilient deck and so much fun! Glad to see an underrated commander getting some screen time!
Cool to see you experimenting with bleep sounds, meme sounds are the best IMO.
Alias' deck looked like Alternative Wincon tribal, was looking forward to see how it works!
How did kenobi goad and make a treasure? Those are two different rooms. Am I missing a card trigger on his board? 15:35
Blinking shenanigans vs Enchantress is just about as confusing as board states can get and I absolutely love it! Always great to see PleasantKenobi again :)
@21:48 The only thing Farseek can’t get is a forest. Guess which land Olivia finds 👀 A FOREST
Deep 90s British TV trivia cuts from the boy Kenobi. Nice.
Oh man I remember watching Kenobi's stuff all the time when I was a bit younger before I dropped and got back into Magic. He's always a treat!
I'm still over here, struggling.
@@PleasantKenobi Aren't we all?
He's really accomplished for a 21 years old
JUDGEEEE 21:50 Olivia gets a forest off farseek, which is any basic type but forest. #Unwatchable (kidding luv y’all)
23:17
I swear to god, this man loves D&T more than life itself, I'm now fully expecting Thalia in a blink deck
Sagas don't sacrifice until their final chapter ability has resolved, so the Anikthea wouldn't have been able to pull it back from it's etb.
I have loved magic since I first started back in Invasion, but it was Commander that has kept me engaged with this great game. Thank you Sheldon, and thanks to all you folks at Hijinks for always making entertaining videos
Farseek can find everything but a basic forest... oops
why olivia didnt use the destiny spinner ability with that much mana? it gains haste and trample cmiiw
Never heard Sythis pronounced like that. I wonder how ya'll pronounce Slytherin
Sheldon is an awesome guy, he will probably teach people in heaven how to play commander.
I built Jedit Ojanen, Mercenary that plays a lot like Vince’s deck, except instead of soldiers, I get forestwalking cats!
For people out there, which one would you choose on a budget. Either Greed or Arguel’s Blood Fast, leave a comment down below.
Greeeeed
you cant farseek for a forest olivia.
@EDHijinks @Olivia.. What kind of oversleeves you have on Narsi??? I love it... Must... have.......
When I saw Arguel's Blood Fast I thought the art was sick, but the effect terrible, so I checked how pricey the fancy version was, and it was actually very cheap. That era of dual-sided foils was really, really weird. Magic has certainly had it's eras of card stock! I think I was curious if it would work with Second Chance to ramp me, but you'd still need Necropotence to lower your life, and you can already find Urza's Saga so this seemed like it wasn't actually worth it. Still great to look at, and in a less pushed deck it's technically a very relevant effect, the only thing that makes it a bad card is that several better ways to do that thing exist, ranging from Yawgmoth's Bargain and Necropotence down to Greed and the like, this is just not as good, it suffers from having been printed after they learned how powerful this kind of effect is.
Interesting choice to reference Taylor in the context of 'I'm about to win off of an 'deal with the devil' type card', but I think she'd be amused. I always think of time spent playing Magic when she sings about playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes on Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince.
I think Flicker might be one of the more annoying archetypes that doesn't get grief for whatever reason, it's slow, clunky and often generates less value than you need to win quickly, so they have to keep doing these annoying things. At least a wipe deck is more straightforward! That said I want to build a flicker deck because it appeal to my inner imp to just durdle so hard, so this is a case of 'I might not like it because I never get to do it' scenario. Abel is something people fiddle with in cEDH, he's one of the best Orzhov options iirc, but I would expect he's up there for any combination that has a relevant Background. I think if I build something flickery it'll be doing stuff like Yorion Wipes, because who doesn't want to see the Sky Noodle die horribly over and over, even if I gain immense advantage off of stuff like Farwell, surely it's worth it? I'm already working on a wipe heavy Kresh deck, so maybe I'll have my itch for that scratched.
I'll be the first to admit that the card is NOT good. However, a second greed that flips into something relevant for Lich later caught my attention. The backside basically reads "sac a creature and draw cards equal to its power" if Lich is in play!
@@ekplayscards I agree it's no cEDH card, but drawing cards is inherently good in Magic, such that people still play Sylvan Library for the draw. This can technically draw more cards if you have mana, and can help save you from dying after it flips fwiw. It's he kind of card I look at as very good design (in a vacuum), it's just that it's not in a vacuum, it was printed into a +20 year old game.
The fact that it gains you life potentially when you're desperate can matter, but it's also Black land ramp, so as weird as it seems, it's not even strictly worse than the 'good' versions of the effect, like Necropotence or Yawgmoth's Bargain.
olivia, a d20 is a 20 sided die, but the configuration is considered fair, as each good roll is close to a poor roll. a spindown has like numbers close, for easier use, allowing a dice cheat to litterally "spin" the dice (this is the dice cheating term) to land on one of 5 numbers on a d20, and land a 15,16,17,18,19,or 20 everytime (on d6, you can always hit 4,5,6).
its why craps tables require you to bounce the dice off the back wall to force them to actually roll and not spin
I run Abdel/Candlekeep and refer to it as my "Unnecessarily Complicated Boardstate Tribal" deck due to all the triggers I end up having to track.
This was very sad to hear. I remember finding video's on Magic and I saw him in a video and the guy would have been amazing to meet in person. I love the intro, and this guy is going to be very missed in the community. You two, this channel, THIS community, just absolutely rock. I have no idea what to do in magic as I suck at trying to build a deck as two that I have could probably count as pre-con but I try to throw in and take out on what I own to make better but still feel like I suck at this game.
I always enjoy the laughs that this channel brings and will continue to say that you all do fantastic work and look for many more amazing videos to come. Sorry this comment was so long; I don't normally leave comments :).
ame back from the clutch three times on MTG Arena lol, once 1 life vs 24 life opponent (Best game ever BTW) ... , another had 9 poison counters, barely won, and the last 1 life and dude quit at 7 life lol. got pics to show... never give up folks! I Hate that he died before I could play him in a game. Thank You Shelden Menery for bringing us commander.
It was nice to see Vince play, and Siicc comeback Liv (maybe u should abandon Artifacts haha)!! Also Eilith I just love your terms, like "untappity ma crappity"!! 🤣🤣 Coolest mom evur xP
Much love to Sheldon's friends and family. Unrelated, this week's episode took EK so long because he had to cut Vince's turn down to size, right ;) ? I know someone playing Abdel Adrian & Master Chef, and the struggle is real (no hard feelings, tho)
I deeply want a game of kenobi and Brian playing two of there degenerate durddle decks while our patient, Saint like host watch in horror. Preferably while playing buckets of removal to ensure maximum chaos.
The amount of hijinks in this episode was absurdly high, and you love to see it!
This PK dude is trully a master of flicking... a real motherflicker, if you will... the biggest flicking flicker this side of the pond!
RIP Sheldon. Such a lovely guy and a real hero for giving us the gift of his humour and life and what he's done for the community. #FuckCancer #FuckCancer #FuckCancer [el'sda2].
Love the vibe of these games.
I am currently sleaving cards cards ready for a weekend of EDH with very old friends. Go go Inga and Esika Dork Stomp tribal, much love Daft
Vince, I play an Abdel Adrian deck with the same background. And the ridiculous wincon is: worldpurge.
Thank you so much for your amazing content! It was a really nice touch to pay tribute to Sheldon and his influence on the game we love.
Clips from different content creators featuring Sheldon in games have been popping up on my Tiktok feed since the news broke but I think this is the first time I've seen it addressed on a UA-cam video.
I was actually on my way to my LGS when I found out. I was going to meet two friends to jam some commander for the first time with them in a few months, so it was fitting. RIP Sheldon Menery
1:06:00 Kenobi, why didn't you put all the soldiers there so she wouldn't get all the mana? You basically gave her free mana
I mean you could have a mini game going on. There is the golden divide, just change colour for the new players, so their game is visually different.
Alias made me fucking tear up at the beginning. ❤️ RIP Sheldon to have met you would have been epic. Rest your soul and bless your family.
SoulHerder can get HUGE fast with Abdel :P
I really need to hear PleasantKenobi saying "Oh bother..."
Rule 0 every deck can run Inkshield regardless of color identity and you may cast it for its mana value.
spindowns are not d20s! they are randomized lol way to get the comments upset
RIP Sheldon Menery
Can we unban green titan now ?
It never ceases to amaze me when people on UA-cam mispronounce simple words
Can't just sit here and be okay with your Sythis was pronounced
Ek would be alive if he would Wedding Ringed Olivia
I legit cried when I heard that Sheldon passed. I didn't know he had cancer. Fighter til the end though.
180 hr still not in baldur's gate. 😂 So many things to do.
At 00:06:57 when Vince taps his John Avon plains they look like a Mario warp pipe 😅
RIP Lord High Commander Sheldon.
Eldrazi Displacer > Flicker Wisp
got a play group sunday and we payed 2c games in sheldons honor
I wonder how many people noticed the Gamecube menu sound effects bleeping the swears. Well done, Hijinks!
I asked PK what he wanted for the bleeps this video and that's what he selected! -EK
Barren glory!? Thats one of my fav win conssss
I really didn't appreciate Abdel at launch.
Big fan of the GameCube edit bleeps. ^_^
My suggestion. A dolphin.
Always a sad day when the Pretty Smile dies first ☺
I run an Aminatou "cEDH" deck. I have 7 creatures in the deck, because I run Humility and Spreading Plague, with at least 8 combos in the deck
😁😁 Such an awesome episode!! Love Pleasant Kenobi, such an funny dude 😁🤙😁🤙
erm aktually farseek cant get a forest land
Card note:Farseek cannot find Forest.
18:35 that's seppuku, not sudoku xD
That turn from Olivia!
My condolences to his family
Bebe!
33:01 None of this happened
Great game! RIP Sheldon! I was very confused and intrigued by that Saskia deck. Not sure what the end goal was but would love to see it again in action! An epic slog at the end. Cringed a little when Kenobi didn't offer his hand back to Olivia and instead proceeded to add up all the damage he could do whiles she had no blockers or mana and then say how he could have done more if he had done this and that.. Its like you won dude.. It was pretty clear but I guess he was just in like hyper focused mode or something. I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude.. Oh well.. I applaud the patience of playing against a blink deck as it can be a very interrupty and solitary which can be grating. Perhaps not for all but yeah. The enchantress deck is so solid out the box! Loved it. GGs!
"Greed is good" I never thought subliminal messaging worked, but...
I think why most folks get bent out of shape about rolling spin downs is that, technically, because high numbers and low numbers are clustered on either side, it is easier to manipulate and more consistently roll well. It is slightly less random. Very, very slightly. Far and away the majority of the average players won't care enough to try to manipulate it, so just give those spin downs a good shake and roll and they'll do just fine 👍
RIP Sheldon!
If not for commander I wouldn't ever be playing MTG and I wouldn't met the awesome people I've met in my life through this game
It's all thanks to Sheldon and his creation
Fairly recently been watching more of your games and noticed that, for the most part, your decks and those of your guests lean towards what's interesting over what's purely optimal/powerful. Do you mostly just have other content creators play or would a random person (coughlikemaybeme) be able to sit in on a game sometime? I've got plenty of powerful decks but quite a few that fall under the "well, that's interesting" category. 😉
I'm resleeving my new Faerie commander deck (I just bought a Talion) in Gamegenic inners and matte sleeves. Did not realize the inners would be ever so slightly frosted. Pretty cool.
"That's two dungeons in one turn rotation!"
Those are rookie numbers, son! You gotta pump those numbers up! I once had 27 venture trigger's in a single *opponent's* turn with my Roon blink dungeon deck lol.
But this game made me smile, even with the sad news that came with it. Hope everyone playing had fun, hope everyone watching has fun.
Gotta love roon funnily enough he has my highest wincon against aggro despite having one removal spell and no life gain
My favorite dungeon crawling commander is Zada Hedron Grinder, put in some tokens and few single target dungeon spells and Zada is off to the races ;P
Sad news indeed. :(
I hadn't played commander in forever, mostly just some historic/brawl from home on MTGA, but I finally managed to have a good day of no migraine that allowed me to go to my local store to jam a few games of commander with the Slicer list I had been brewing the day before the unfortunate news. RIP Sheldon he did so much for this game
A d20 is more specifically weighted than a regular 20-sided polyhedron that has not been designed as a random number generator.
Loved the blinking shenanigans. I’ve built it myself and was able to get some ideas for my own deck😊😊😊
The Sheldon conversation in the beginning was very sweet. Glad you all were able to have him on the show a while back. :)
24:00 some excrement
RIP Sheldon 💔
Best tribute is to play the game with all the joy and love you can muster. Love Sheldon. Love you all. 🫶
Im gonna play my silly Helix Pinnacle deck at my LGS commander night tomorrow in honor of Sheldon
Thank you for sharing about Sheldon. May they rest peacefully now.
The creator of the format, and one of the best damn EDH players. I’ve seen several games where he just demolishes everyone. He’ll be missed.
The greatest legacy is all who play together for the love of the game. Let every pod you find enjoyable be his memorium.
Always fun to see obscure builds 😆. Question, how do you honestly feel about people pointing out mistakes? I'm fairly new so I need things pointed out😂
Please do! We don't mind people pointing out what we missed, we only mind when they're asshats about it 😆
@@EDHijinks 🤣 I am fully capable of misreading my cards, even sometimes try to play a sorcery at instant speed 😂. That being said, Olivia fetched a basic forest with Farseek and nobody caught it 😂
@@NearSightedViking haha she did! We caught it in post but it didn't really matter. Couple other commenters spotted that too 😁
2nd
Great game
Love the tomb!! My favorite mana rock to play in dungeons!
"It's from that one." *proceeds to cover symbol up
Olivia is the best. lol
