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.
YEP - didn't even realize the Orrery was legendary, just dropped the sculpting steel on it 😅 thank you y'all for kindly pointing that out!! (It's even more embarrassing when I specifically made a non-legendary token later in the game 🤡)
They’re lesbians, Harold!!! (Actually canonical, even. WotC is not immune to corporate problems AT ALL, but their LGBT+ representation, allyship and inclusion of LGBT+ staff is very appreciated.)
The fact that Joey’s whole family plays Magic together is amazing. My parents and sibling are not into the game… but I hope one day I can share it with my kids. 🥰
When the Ben’s were on and they were giving Alias V all that crap cause she was knocked out of the game and saying all the Canadian sayings to her… I was in tears laughing!!!
As someone who keeps a very organized play space when playing (borderline neurotically,) Joey's mishmash pile on his playmat drives me crazy every time I see it 🤣
Hello Eilidh and Olivia! You guys are the best hosts, you guys have created the best commander show on youtube! Thank you for all the smiling moments and amazing content. Keep up the great work, Thursdays are my favorite day of the week now!
So, I'm new around here and I wanted to let you both know that watching you all play MTG is literally a mood booster for me. The first video I saw was on a particularly "down" day and after about 10 mins of watching, I found myself smiling for the rest of the video. Thank you for that! Looking forward to many more videos!!!
Konrad is a beast. I remember casting morality shift with Konrad in play with an og eldrazi legendary and seeing the hope just drain from the table lol.
I love Konrad. He's my face Commander. Mine is a reanimatir version not a mill version. Looping Gray Merchant and Ravenous Chupabra is wonderful for watching the despair set in. 🤣 Mimic Vat is so crazy in the list.
love seeing the games that get big boards and everyone is kind of cautious of each other. Olivia's deck was awesome to see go off, a real cool affinity artifact deck. Eili got big dumb monsters, joey with the wild deck, hopefully Alan can that 100 counters one game
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. 🙂
I loved seeing Joey's Vohar deck pop off (as well as all the other shenanigans everyone else was doing). I also understand now why Matt and Dana run so much graveyard hate.
I would call the Liberator deck “The one thop hop for all your Artifact Needs” lol. I have plenty more dad jokes. I do love the games that are played here. So wholesome and fun 😊
Fun episode. Lots of exciting magic there. Sad to see Gix not do as much as I had hoped. Joey's deck looked fantastic. Olivia that deck was spooky and right up your lane. 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 🙂
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!
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!
YES! I've been waiting to see Liberator commander deck since I first saw him. So much potential for cool tricks, like All Is Dust busted wipe, or Commander's Plate giving protection from ALL colours. I hope for continuation of colorless Olivia saga!))
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 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
9:39 good news: the sword of truth and justice being referred to there can't hit Mox Tantalite because it isn't in play! You need cards that mess with time counters specifically for that, and all of those are from Timespiralblock
Always excited to see both Alan and Joey as guests. I've had the pleasure of playing against one of Alan's Vecna decks during a Cardboard Command "Throwdown Thursday" event, and it was an absolute blast!
After the week and a half of dealing with the garbage from Wizards of the Coast, over OGL 1.1, I needed this entertainment from EDHijinks, err...'thop'jinks, lol.
AliasV! Join the play mismatching basics team! The real secret isn't that we're all trying to trigger people like Olivia, it's that we want to play and look at all our fave basics!
There is now a third art for Wastes. It came out in the Warhammer 40K Secret Lair. It's a waste with a picture of one of the Ork giant robots. Just food for thought four colorless deck players if you want more options for art.
Alias' comment @ 45:27 about making a monochrome deck made me want to see if it's possible. I'm about 80% the way there on a Liesa, Forgotten Archangel deck with vampires and a few angels but the remaining cards missing are cards like mana rocks, some of the better legendary vampires and angels. I might just proxy the rest, but in black and white
Does tapping jeweled lotus for colored mana of any color count towards the colorless cost of the battle thopter, or any colorless creature for that matter?
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.
Hey! Are you new here? Click some things! Become one of our (almost) 50K subscribers!
Eilidh’s unbridled joy seeing the cutesy little synergies with her deck was so wholesome to see
Thank you for a kick-ass Christmas present, EK!
Everything is a reanimater commander when Joey is involved lol
And here we witness the final fracturing of Olivia's main processing facilities and verbal centers
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.

Joey out here living his best necromancer life, love to see it
YEP - didn't even realize the Orrery was legendary, just dropped the sculpting steel on it 😅 thank you y'all for kindly pointing that out!! (It's even more embarrassing when I specifically made a non-legendary token later in the game 🤡)
Yeah but you didn't miss a million Gyre sage Evolve triggers
Legendary spoofs aside, shouldn’t you have just copied the coveted jewel and drawn 3 more cards? Seems way better to copy
I was like "are they never gonna catch it?"
Nope!
I’m happy to see Halana & Alena doing their thing. I love those “Roommates”. Thanks for the spectacular content as always!
They’re lesbians, Harold!!! (Actually canonical, even. WotC is not immune to corporate problems AT ALL, but their LGBT+ representation, allyship and inclusion of LGBT+ staff is very appreciated.)
I just want say, Joey is my favorite guest… no offense to anyone else, but the dad jokes and shenanigans… priceless 😂
Joey and Jimothy are my favorite couple of guests. Them and the Bens.
The fact that Joey’s whole family plays Magic together is amazing. My parents and sibling are not into the game… but I hope one day I can share it with my kids. 🥰
When the Ben’s were on and they were giving Alias V all that crap cause she was knocked out of the game and saying all the Canadian sayings to her… I was in tears laughing!!!
Joey rocks
I hate that nobody reacted to the "Oh my god they were room mates"... Joey, don't worry! I canned myself xD LOL
I absolutely love all the laughing and fun you have when playing commander. So much fun to watch.
As someone who keeps a very organized play space when playing (borderline neurotically,) Joey's mishmash pile on his playmat drives me crazy every time I see it 🤣
Smooth change of that starting dice roll by Olivia.
The solutiin to the many basic arts that you love iS MISSMATCHED BASICS BABYYYY!
The laughter and enjoyment is contagious; love how you joke around but keep it serious at the same time and focused. Great production ladies !
"I love the Magali Lands"
Yesss favorite artist come through 😂
its funny watching Olivia casually break the legendary rule...
Me = 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Omg I can already tell this is going to be an AMAZING episode!!
Great show this week. Always love watching Joey play.
I also loved the episode with Jake and Joel. They are a fun duo.
This has quickly become my favourite MTG show. If it hadn't been for PleasantKenobi making an appearance, I may never have found it.
Yay Halana and Alena was my first ever deck, so excited to see them here! Thanks for all the wonderful videos!!
I love that Liberator is finally getting some love in commander YT. It’s a sneaky good artifact voltron commander of all things!
I did not stop smiling watching this episode! I loved it, love seeing Alan back and always appreciate Joey. 10/10 episode!
really good gameplay. Entertained the whole time. thanks
Hello Eilidh and Olivia! You guys are the best hosts, you guys have created the best commander show on youtube! Thank you for all the smiling moments and amazing content. Keep up the great work, Thursdays are my favorite day of the week now!
Our pleasure, Owen! 😊

Welcome aboard, Dale! We're happy to help and glad you enjoy our antics! 😊
Konrad is a beast. I remember casting morality shift with Konrad in play with an og eldrazi legendary and seeing the hope just drain from the table lol.
I love Konrad. He's my face Commander. Mine is a reanimatir version not a mill version. Looping Gray Merchant and Ravenous Chupabra is wonderful for watching the despair set in. 🤣 Mimic Vat is so crazy in the list.
Their life totals drained away too
Olivia has been my favourite player since I saw her kill people with Altar of dementia.
Same! That’s my kinda play style!
I've gotta make a MINION 76 jersey hehe
Gosh i love this show :)
..and JOEY! had a good laugh at the last turn haha😂
YOOOOO! Let's go! Ain't no stopping when ur thoppin!
LMAO Alan omg
love seeing the games that get big boards and everyone is kind of cautious of each other. Olivia's deck was awesome to see go off, a real cool affinity artifact deck. Eili got big dumb monsters, joey with the wild deck, hopefully Alan can that 100 counters one game

So happy someone says “and thennnn” and “No and then!” As well 😂
wow, nice balance there. amazing game 4 really incredible decks!!! holy crap! so much POWER
Fun episode. Lots of exciting magic there. Sad to see Gix not do as much as I had hoped. Joey's deck looked fantastic. Olivia that deck was spooky and right up your lane. 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 🙂
My favorite thing about this show is that it really just is like hey I wanted to build this so I did and we get to have fun
Like I commented on that one video before, Olivia is secretly a Gruul player, she ramps like a boss and she isn't even in green. Amazing
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.

Great guests, great hosts!
BTW Sol Talisman is forever to be known as Slo Ring lol
Subscribed! It was such a treat to watch, and im a first time viewer! Thanks for giving me an amazing channel to binge watch more of haha
Awww yeah! Welcome aboard! Enjoy the shenanigans!
As a roommates connoisseur, I must point a missed +1/+1 counter on gyre sage evolve trigger at 18:45. Love those girls, so couldn't help myself.
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!
Cool to see the ladies playing two deck stratagies I really like, big fan of colorless and the gruul +1/+1
YES! I've been waiting to see Liberator commander deck since I first saw him. So much potential for cool tricks, like All Is Dust busted wipe, or Commander's Plate giving protection from ALL colours. I hope for continuation of colorless Olivia saga!))
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...
Shouldn't Sol Ring and Mana Crypt be disallowed for any colored commander then, as they only produce colorless mana?
@@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.

A real change of pace from what I usually play, it's so great.
So fun fact, that Halana Alena deck is _relatively_ budget conscious outside! The entirety of the landbase is nothing but basics too
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.
@@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.

Pretty sure when Olivia played sculpting steel it should have sacked it right away cause the target was a legendary
Lol, we ALL missed that 🤣 Whoopsies!
@Elder Dragon Hijinks you two are human and ones a mamma so mistakes are inevitable but keep yup the great job you two
Olivia showing up for us of the colorless variety like a boss!
What an amazing game!
Thanks, folks
9:39 good news: the sword of truth and justice being referred to there can't hit Mox Tantalite because it isn't in play! You need cards that mess with time counters specifically for that, and all of those are from Timespiralblock
I love the Mr. Goodbody art for Solemn Simulacrum!
Always excited to see both Alan and Joey as guests. I've had the pleasure of playing against one of Alan's Vecna decks during a Cardboard Command "Throwdown Thursday" event, and it was an absolute blast!
You know you're having a good turn in Magic when you're heart monitor asks "are you OK?"
This game was incredible!
13:38 the memory might be playing tricks here. The 187 swamp looks very much like a swamp and not a sidewalk lol.
Olivia!!! You used sculpting steel on your orary that is a Legendary Artifact, Lengendary rule applies :3. Fun game btw
YOU ARE RIGHT ZOMG
Don't worry about it"
*yells*
"IM WORRIED!"
I wish I could play Commander weekly instead of my day job, I'd love an excuse to turn Gishath sideways more often. Great video as always!
I'm a simple man: I see the Joey I give the likey
POLIFERATE DEEZ NUTZ!!! 😂 ahhhh yeeesss I thought I was the only one saying things like this!
After the week and a half of dealing with the garbage from Wizards of the Coast, over OGL 1.1, I needed this entertainment from EDHijinks, err...'thop'jinks, lol.

Each of the 40k secret lairs had their own art for Wastes. So, 3 more arts, including Blood Bowl.
The Sculpting Steel becoming a copy of Chromatic Orrery should have triggered the Legend rule.
Legend rule is a state-based action, not a trigger, but you are correct.
Yep you're absolutely right👍
Note to Self: Don't ever mess with Olivia's breya deck, especially if I wish to continue living
Ah yes, Best Boi Joey.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
For anyone wondering, don't play arcane signet in Liberator for the exact reason you should play Commander's plate
"why is there no colorless seedborn muse?" that is why i have unwinding clock and mycosynth lattice in my artifact deck.
As a short person myself, I can attest: elbows become kidney shots. It works!
Such a great group of faces!
Olivia, Arcane Signet can't produce mana in a deck where the commander has no colors in its identity! (1:09:17)
Oh heck! More space for other rocks then lol
I think the same thing applies to jeweled lotus
Alias' comment @ 45:27 about making a monochrome deck made me want to see if it's possible. I'm about 80% the way there on a Liesa, Forgotten Archangel deck with vampires and a few angels but the remaining cards missing are cards like mana rocks, some of the better legendary vampires and angels.

Mox Tantalite represent!
Great stuff as always!
Time to load up on those secret lair wastes.
I like the video. I comment. I back the Patreon. Our dread bargain fulfilled.
Yay, another hijinks video!
Only 2 arts for wastes?!? Olivia, you are the queen of proxies, let’s change that 😊
Wastes being more expensive than 95% of colourless lands are also unfortunate
Next episode; Halana and Elena, Business Partners.
I'm sorry I'm distracted by the ice King crown casually in Alan's background
Thop-Thop-Thop-Thop
Only missing a mana crypt In that opener Olivia lol
Orrery is legendary Olivia lol
YEP feeling like a clown, didn't even realize *ugh*
I personally feel better about my own missplays whenever I see them from professionals. This game is too complicated not to missplay!
This video was great!
Alan’s face at 28:41.🤣🤣🤣
Eilidh’s misses she could of brought back her kodama with the demonstrate spell joey cast
It was exiled with Mimic Vat though, right? So not possible?
Enjoyed seeing colorless deck
The defiler only lets you pay for the first pip of green mana with life. Additional pips have to be paid with actual mana
Thop thop thop thop thop
Does tapping jeweled lotus for colored mana of any color count towards the colorless cost of the battle thopter, or any colorless creature for that matter?
I wish MtG had planes...and I know starscream and friends, and I know Thopters, Copters and Airships.
A quick NerdPause: You cant proliferate suspended cards. Proliferate only works on permanents and players, as I remeber.
Oh really? That's nifty!
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.
