    5:35 fun fact about Mox Tantalite: the mineral is named after the myth of Tantalus, who was punished in the Underworld by eternal hunger and thirst. You’ll find him seated under a fruit tree whose branches always move juuuust out of his reach.
    And they gave this card SUSPEND.
    Also I think MentalMisplay knows this, because he said “this card can hang,” which is a top-tier pun about suspend and about fruit HANGING a little too far away.

    As a first time parent on a 15 month old I really feel for Eilidh and the impact of tiredness on your ability to do day to day activities. A coffee in the fridge is a perfectly reasonable move my dude :). Great game guys and always happy to see Joey as a guest.

      Can I just say how refreshing it is to see a mom doing her job WITH the baby in tow? And that being considered okay and normal? It’s very humanizing. I really appreciate people who are not trying to hide that 🤷
      Humans have needs and relationships other than working. If ya gotta feed baby, it’s kind of important!!! And the content continues to be great, if not better for occasionally featuring the tiny voice of Wyatt.

  • @andikay9639
    @andikay9639 Год назад

    I absolutely adore and enjoy Eilidh and Olivia's sympathic style of hosting the weekly episode. This is another one with super nice guests and four awesome decks. There were so many shenanigans going on in this game - on the board and between the players. For many turns Joeye's deck doesn't do anything and then it explodes. ^^ This will stay one of my favourite episodes - cannot wait to see the next. 🙂

  • @thomasmoore4813

Eilidh I really want to see that deck list for Halana and Alena because that looked fun and it's actually a deck I want to build. Overall a great episode and I can't wait for more shenanigans next week 🙂

  • @mightyone3737
    @mightyone3737 Год назад

    It's pretty hard to never miss a trigger in most EDH games, but I can top that... I can't remember how many times I forgot I had Rule of Law out when I was doing early playtesting... WITH A TURBO RULE DECK. The whole game plan of the deck was to get out Rule and hide behind it, it was meant for high level play, so I could use annoying strategies (which can be fun), Rule meant I shouldn't lose right away to a fast combo. That is, if you don't forget the most important card in your deck is on the table.
    Great guests, great hosts!

    @ericap1098 Год назад

    I get so excited when I see a new episode uploaded!
    Olivia, when you said "I don't know what words are today", I felt that, because words are hard.
    And Eilidh, I also feel the brain not working thing. I've tried putting my coat on before a shirt, which is extra bad in Northern Ontario.
    Also, my pet deck is Karn (all non-basic lands so when my wife asts Wave of Vitriol, it's extra great). Colourless is so much fun.
    Great episode, awesome guests. Joey is one of my faves, and Alan is pretty darn awesome.
    Thanks for brightening my day!

  • @battlemankiller
    @battlemankiller Год назад +5

    As someone who recent built a Liberator deck, I also ran into the trap of Arcane Signet and Commander's Sphere, but unfortunately, those artifacts add only colored mana from your commander's color identity, and since Liberator has none, they can't add any mana...sorry...

    • @adambandurak8913
      @adambandurak8913 Год назад

      Shouldn't Sol Ring and Mana Crypt be disallowed for any colored commander then, as they only produce colorless mana?

    • @MyNarsa
      @MyNarsa Год назад +2

      @@adambandurak8913 there are 5 mana colors, but 6 mana types.
      Colorless is a type not a color.
      the reason they dont produce mana its because you can't chose a legal color to tap them for.

  • @redbirdriot
    @redbirdriot Год назад +1

    So fun to see the decks doing so many fun crazy plays (Joey, this is why people play graveyard hate, btw). But I absolutely love the "roommates" (or gruulfriends), just build them myself (more budget than this one) and took it for a spin last weekend - just counters and big mana and lots of fun with Thundering Raiju. A real change of pace from what I usually play, it's so great.

    • @ekplayscards

      So fun fact, that Halana Alena deck is _relatively_ budget conscious outside! The entirety of the landbase is nothing but basics too

    • @redbirdriot
      @redbirdriot Год назад

      That's awesome! I call myself a budget player bc...well, I am, but I am more and more convinced that the difference between "budget" and non is shrinking. You can build really good decks without spending a ton of money.

    • @ekplayscards
      @ekplayscards Год назад +1

      @@redbirdriot I totally totally get that! I've been trying to be tons more budget conscious with decks lately! $50-100 Gruul Beats is a huge happy place for me. You still get to feel like you're doing powerful stuff but you're doing it with unique, unappreciated cards.

  • @Ellie-Angela
    @Ellie-Angela Год назад

    54:35 I believe that the Nightmare Shepherd is already in the graveyard once the ability hits the stack? Damage is dealt, state-based actions (such as creatures dying if they have 0 toughness or damage greater than their toughness marked) happen, and then abilities hit the stack. I could be wrong though.

    As far as I know the lands from sword of hearth and home would come in to play untaped.

    Liberator doesn't have colors in his color identify so Arcane Signet doesn't actually tap for mana there. :P

    I kept trying to see what Olivia was “procking”, until I realized she was talking about “protection”. Which I have never heard. I, and everyone I’ve played against, use “pro X”. Kept tripping me up

    I wonder if Olivia will decide to try out Ayesha Tanaka, Armorer. What with her love of artifacts and voltron, don't think we ever seen her run an equipment style voltron shenan's.
