"I'm going to do sub-optimal things that look cool" - Proceeds to go infinite
Newly discovered infinites mid game are the best infinites.
ben and serge wearing the uniform i see
😂😂😂
Every time Olivia brings the boat off the dock, it makes me smile. It's the only kind of Mono-Blue foolishness I respect. 😂😂
As a cerified Marine Biologist, i can advise that dolphins are not big fish and every time someone says they are i die a little inside
Swims like a fish, acts like a fish 🤔
Everyone knows that dolphins are aquatic dahmer and have a racist blood feud with porpoises
I’m pretty sure that comment was on porpoise. (How can I not resist a dolphin joke here?) I am a layperson familiar with animals, and am well aware of the fact that dolphins are mammals.
Not fish but extremely sexually inappropriate. They’re a problem.
It all smells fishy ....
Live play episodes have such great energy. Glad to see the LRR boys here to crack Olivia up.
“That’s two boats what the hell’s wrong with you?” Dead lol
Nothing quite like accidentally stumbling upon an infinite combo while trying to engage in full metal jank.
For the specific infinite combo, Ben really had just the right set up.
You need Sporoloth Ancient and another Thallid both of which have at least two spore counters and one of which has at least 3. Then, assuming the minimum required 2 and 3 spore counters, the two creatures will bounce between having 2 and 3 each iteration of the cycle.
It can also work without the ancient, just needs three thallids. Intruder Alarm is a fair and balanced magic card.
It's worth mentioning that as long as Ezuri was on the battlefield it wasn't actually infinite, but Ezuri could be sacrificed to Xavier Sal, so it didn't matter too much.
Well, with Slimefoot out and Eilidh at 17, as long as Ben has more cards in his library than 17, the result is the same whether Ezuri is out or not.
Such a flavorful battle for the multiverse on a cruise ship featuring an unlimited salad bowl.
We just need soup and breadsticks and my lunch is achieved!
Benben AND Serge?! Oh heck yeah, always love seeing the LRR crew playing with you two!
that was the most wholesome infinite combo I've ever seen
I like how Serge leaned over Ojer Axonil to read the card slowly and got it wrong. It only increases damage to opponents. Engagement! 😆
Uhh, not gonna lie, it feels like he straight-up cheated there, especially when he was reading it outright, little pause before the damage condition... feels icky.
I'm a simple person. I see Benben, I watch instantly.
Do you have a Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit Commander deck? If not, should you?
Ben's awesomeness pays off within minutes with Thallid Bowl.
Always happy to see thallids doing thallid things. Great game, and RIP Olivia!
Ben is quickly becoming my favorite. I have both an xavier deck and an old-school thallid Commander deck, and when he announced his deck, i audibly said, "Hell yeah."
I love how little time it took to break Olivia.
“I can’t not swing things” in a British accent sounds so polite I couldn’t possibly feel bad taking the damage
Ben and serge emerge from their igloos to play commander.... thanks for having them! I bet it's great to be there!
thalid bowl and biggus piggus? the pork bowl with some of my absolute favs??? the famous omenkeel deck!!! oh this is gonna be a good one, i am ready!! ❤
“Dinner Cruise”
That was a sweet finish with that moment of realization of what your deck is capable of😁 Thanks for the game, friends!
Ben: You ever cast Fury and take out a Saproling and Dan Dan while Boromir and Mother of Runes are completely exposed?
Serge: I felt like I was bullying Alias
Olivia: You say after you just hit me for more
Serge: Im gunna go to my end step ....
This episode got squirrely really quick. I'm not complaining. Always fun to watch Olivia implode. Lol
Love that Thallids got some love! Great job everybody and a Hell Yeah to Ben!
Haven’t been able to watch Hijinx as much as I would like to due to a number of reasons and I’ve gotta say, this one felt special. The live aspect, the Lrr guests and the delightful banter really made my day. Been feeling down about Magic for a bit now and you reminded me why I love it in the first place. Thank you all for it ❤
Great episode! Always enjoy Ben and Serge, and am especially here for the all the shade thrown around this game.
I absolutely love the genuine excitement when Ben found out he had an infinite combo.
Fantastic episode! I really enjoyed it. Loved seeing all the styles of game play and deck building. Olivia's Mono Blue is how Mono Blue should be done.
I love those two guys so much, some of my absolute favorites from LRR
Did he just say Toth my Thalid? I'm dead.
Love the lumberjack vibe with the Canadian tuxedos from the LRR side of the table there ehh.
Seeing my favorite content creators collab like just fills my heart with such joy
Olivia's salt is soo strong that it pours out of the screen and into my room. Even though it's probably not good for her and probably those close to her, it sure is entertaining!
Ojer only modifies noncombat damage dealt to opponents, not to permanents.
and that was relevant but at least we saw the power of spores xD
That was great :)
Small thing: the red god doesn't increase damage to creatures, only to opponents.
Serge has quickly become one of my favorite guests on any show!!
Love these in person ones even more than usual (and the usual is great to begin with)
I got to play against Ben's legendary Scooby-Doo deck.. it was super coo and had a fun time.. and my friend Joey played with Olivia at magiccon Chicago..
Ben and Serge.. two of my favourites from LRR!
That was both the most inoffensive and offensive Fury I have ever seen cast. 😂 Great game and episode!
These guys were great! Seem like a couple of fun guys to have as regular guests!
Love Xavier Sal, such a versatile commander
Violence isn’t an answer, it’s a question and the answer is always yes.
Something about the way the thallid loop was being demonstrated was reminding me of the TikTok of the guy who keeps buying Hoisin sauce.
“Go to the store…..buy a bottle of hoisin sauce….open the fridge OH NO I already have a bottle of hoisin sauce”
Awesome decks. Ben with his veggies. Surge with the pork. Olivia with fish. And I guess Alias's role was the people at a cheap buffet, trying to stack their plates high lmao
Sultia: I can make a 1/1 every 3 turns.
White: here are 20 1/1's for 3 mana.
I'm sure someone may have said it. This is why your parents said to eat your greens. Ben-geance of the endless Thallid bar.
35:47 Serge be like: "oh yeah lemme read that card...mhm...non-combat damage to an( opponent)y target...well well well, heckin good card i got there" (the gods are hard i know, but the fact he reads, points at it looks at it and then does it wrong is pretty funny BUT we got a more interesting game out of it than just Eilidh mopping the floor with poor Ben (cool infinite btw))
i really love the offline episodes, keep em coming
Love the in-person!
I am so excited to see another Xavier deck. I built mine full creature copy combo, there's something about casting Rite of Replication on a Gary to just blast the table.
I love the episodes when you are all in person. 💕💕💕
It's great to see a fellow boat enjoyer. My Omenkeel deck is filly 100% with cards that have boats in the art (including basics!). It's slow and grindy, but it's surprising how often it can get a win in😂
Thallid bowl with bacon. I love this game already.
The vibe of LRR and EDH is completely perfect together
Ben naming his tokens after his Dad 😂
Can confirm, Minnesota is baby Canada. We also say Uffda, and call it "Duck Duck Grey Duck" because that's the correct translation.
the canadian boys in traditional canadian attire
The Shield of Argive is obviously the serving plate that the boar and thallid comes on 😋
All I can say as an American is I'm so glad I have watched Letterkenny and Shorsey so I could understand all the Canadian Lingo. In all seriousness great game guys was a blast to watch.
I love Ben's face when he realized that he has an infinite and can win on the spot.
Olivia: "where are those creatures going serge?"
Serge: Points both hands at Alias
Serge IMMEDIATELY swinging everything at olivia in the same turn cycle
😮
Wait, does this mean I am first?! Also, Olivia's DEGEN Deck! Also, Eilidh dropping shade less than five sentences into the episode. 😅
DANDAN!
Okay, this comment and love is time stamped to support Olivia’s decree of humor!!! 😂😂😂 Love it
OMGee...this was amazing from beginning to end!
Olivia first looked like she was about to have a conniption with the Canadian accents flying around. And then the end of the gameplay was GOLD:
"So I bring back Dave (DAVE!!!). And then I'm going to kill Dave (Awwww). And then I bring back Dave (DAVE!!!)"
"Wait did you create an infinite loop???" 🤯
"I DID...I DID MAKE A LOOP! I BROKE INTRUDER ALARM!!!" 🤯
As soon as eating the thalid bowl became a thing, i knew where the jokes were going to go lmao
I'm half expecting Wayne, Dary, Dan, and Katy to come walking in listening to these guys talk, lol
I love when Olivia gets “mad” when she loses after playing Dan Dan
LOVE IT! Great game everyone.
Yessss, I'm so excited for Xavier Sal, I've waited for someone to build him for a while
also both the men wearing flannels is so canadian of them
Also there are so many glasses in this episode
unlimited trips to the thallid bar, yay!
We in Brazil really like this episode!
Petition to call putting a creature onto the battlefield with Ilharg a “piggy back ride”
I don't think the Ojer Axonil damage was done correctly, or I've been playing my Axonil deck with training wheels this entire time. I think only the face damage to Eilidh would have been modified. The damage to the commander and other creature would have only been 1. I think this is the case because of the "to an opponent" wording. Mainly commenting so someone can correct me and I can play my Axonil deck with full power.
You are, indeed, correct! Good spot! -EK
I just love the fact Commander now has a legendary creature for a deck I used to play back in OG Time Spiral block called, "The Thallid Shooter." The name is based off of an old "As Seen On TV" product called "Salad Shooter."
"It slices! It dices! It even makes Julien fries!"
Kids these days will never know the joys of insomnia at 3 am, wanting to watch TV, only to have an infomercial come on before the TV station went off for the night. 😅
I thought that was the "Ginsu" knife. The Salad Shooter was a different infomercial. Whatever.
@@squirejamesii : I was being a bit facetious, lol. I mean, how many people really ever took claims on TV that literally sounded 'too good to be true'?
Then you get the product in question, and it would seem to me to be a bit anticlimactic, given even the exorbitant prices back in the 1990s.
I mean, who paid "5 easy payments of $19.95" for something not even worth one of those payments? It's kind of why I look at cards like Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe like they are those late-night infomercials, because unlike compulsory taxes, paying the 1 or paying the 2 seems more like you shouldn't be buying the infomercial thing, but you buy it anyway.
What ridiculous hijinks! I love this!
22:55 No Serge, it Discover 5'd from there. 😎
"It's hard to do a Canadian accent without swearing"
...yeah we're potty mouths LOL
Oooooh you're in Calgary! That's dope! I live right near there! Maybe I'll see y'all around at a con or lgs
"You don't win friends with 'Thallid'" - Homer Simpson
Did I hear CGB 🤭Also I can not tell you how happy I am seeing someone else playing an Xavier Sal fungus deck. I feel heard.
Getting snacks to enjoy this video!!! Whoooooooooooo!!!!!!
SOLID AS A ROCK!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸
Dave, the hero of the game.
As a slimefoot fan and Ben enjoyer that was great
I wanted to build the omenkeel when kaldheim was new but vehicles still seem gimicky and I wasn't sure the land/+1+1 abilities were good enough in a mono blue deck.
Classic infinite Dave combo
"The Texas of Canada" 😅 Aiight, I'll subscribe.
Never mess with the fungus among us
OH MY GOD I MADE XAVIER SAL THALLIDS THIS RULES. I gotta see how this plays out, this is my kind of deck.
This did not disappoint
Ben was a FUNguy this game xD
While a barrel may make two boats, two boats do not make a barrel
not even three minutes in, and I'm already dying lmfao...
Remember that time on friday nights when they had simic salad? It had things... lol
There needs to be a Altersleeve for Ilharg that is pretty much Pumba from the Lion King
Oh the warthog god from princess mononoke
Olivia sure was furious about that play
The gutter be full of these minds
Ok...i know I am not the only one to see this but Ojer Axonil does not increase the damage to creatures and only opponents. Love the show ladies!!!!
Loading .. ready .. hijinks!!
Finally someone playing xavier sal!
Thallid Bowl might be the best deck name ever
21:32 GIVE HIM ALL THE S***!
