I'm Joel, creator and player of that Reaper King deck. If you have any questions or comments let me know, I'd love to talk with you all.
Why Reaper King instead of Sisay or some other 5c Commander?
@@HansHurin because its harvest time
@@HansHurin they didn't exist at the time this game was filmed and Reaper King is one of my favourite commanders. Reaper King is one of those commanders I build from scratch and tear apart about once per year, haha.
EDIT: Also, I use Transmute Artifact in the deck to transmute Reaper King into any artifact in my deck that I want, including very mean things like Possessed Portal.
Why so aggressive throwing or grabbing cards?
Never seen Reaper King Superfriends...it's...it's a thing.
Rashmi counterspell
Riku of the divine top
Scarecrow friends
Admiral I just wanted to have fun
Squirrels just want to have fun 🎶🎵🎶
I'm surprised to even lasted that long
More like Admiral I'd like to permanently borrow that thank you
Anyone: breathes
Matthew: I have a response
YAY, REAPER KING!! There’s so little gameplay footage of him on RUclips that I’m always happy to see more show up on your channel.
EDIT: nevermind, it wasn’t the Reaper King footage I was expecting -_-
Haha. What were you expecting? I'm the guy playing the deck you see in the video. I've built every version of him you can imagine and unfortunately most of those methods aren't very good decks. My favourite method of abusing him in a deck that still stands on its own is in a token spam deck with "hack" cards that change the creature type of your creatures
@@philllllllll Admit it: you played Reaper King because, if you had played Golos as your commander instead, it would've been a dead giveaway. :P
@@DarkEinherjar Haha. I just love Reaper King so anytime I feel like making a five colour deck, he's the commander.
@@philllllllll my favorite type of reaper king deck too made a reaper tokens deck for someone else in my playgroup
@@philllllllll That was an awful iteration of the Reaper King deck, sorry. I wanted something more normal as just bought the cards for deck.
Matthew out here trying to play solitaire with that many counterspells.
At 15:45, wouldn't Michel have become the monarch by swinging and doing combat damage to Jamieson? Or was someone else monarch at that point?
Yeah, the whole table missed a ton of triggers. Mostly the two players on the right.
The art on Beckett reminds me of Tolarian Community College.
When Joel picked up Jameson's deck I almost had a seizure , up to this point I thought it was a web cam game for some reason 🐙🐙
Does anyone remember which episode had the one player using energy cards from Pokémon instead of lands ? I really wanna watch it again I loved the commentary but can’t find it !
I remember the player using the energy cards running the Scion Twins (Rowan & Will)
I feel like Michel's board kept getting closer and closer to Matthew's board. Also, good note on how the extra turns were misplayed
Finally a Riku deck that actually does something for once!
icu
@@AKASyx Oh hi you lol. Small world.
Prepare to be disappointed by my riku draft edh deck
@@kingfuzzy2 an even smaller world, yo.
Yo! ( :
I spent about half that episode watching Michel's mess of a board; everything was in his top-half of his mat, or on Matthew's playmat!! :O
Madman.
4:39 the way Joel threw that card to michel.. you can tell he was not happy about the 14 damage :D
That was an interesting one. I had no idea who was winning for a lot of it.
Hope everyone has a great start to their week!
Ok, I have a Riku deck I haven’t played yet, how do you resolve “stolen” or copied extra turn spells? Do you wait till your turn to take the extra one or do you go next, out of order?
So if you copy an extra turn spell, yours resolves first, then theirs. I’m pretty sure because the original happened last, they get the first instance of the extra turns.
Wow that rashmi deck Is really fun Police i would hate to play against it
Yeah, that's actually why I stopped watching the video. I like seeing interesting decks, not Mother May I.
The second overloaded cyclonic rift was the tipping point for me
@@Coxgix7 not only that but the level of counterspells he was playing, force of will, flusterstorm, etc.
Dude looks like the guy in the group nobody actually wants to play
In general, it seemed like the power lvl of its cards was above the rest of the table. Mana Crypt, FoW, etc.....
Matthew's deck looks close to a cEDH deck. Matthew forgot a Rashmi trigger early on, Michel didn't get the Monarch after swinging with Dack's Duplicate/Rashmi.
That Rashmi deck is pretty much on par with the local meta at Multizone on EDH night.
@@philllllllll ah, good to know.
@@philllllllll still, it is not even close to tribal pirates in terms of power level. This game was very imbalanced.
@@Zaalbarjedi Unfortunately, we don't have the gift of foresight, telepathy or omniscience. So sitting down at a table with strangers at an LGS you sometimes end up with a discrepancy in power level and sometimes even with friends, you just wanna play with your new toy even if it's weaker than what is being played.
Things like that happen. Nobody was bitter about it, we all had fun.
5:44 Surprised Michel didn't continue swinging into Joel, especially since he had two unguarded planeswalkers.
Michael forgot a lot of triggers and also made quite a few bad plays. For example, there was no need to cast brainstorm immediately, when waiting a turn would have netted him another Rashmi trigger.
IIRC, this was his first time playing that deck.
you can't cast 1cmc spells with a rashmi trigger from a 1cmc spell, it needs to cost less... and anyway even if you pay 1 to cast the brainstorm you'd better wait for the next turn to get another rashmi trigger... also, did he forget the rashmi trigger on swan song? and on flusterstorm..? and on arcane denial...? wtf i'm starting to see a pattern here :P
He did pay one for brainstorm... I don't get it either. It's like he had never played the deck before and just threw away a ton of card advantage.
I love seeing guided passage the best tutor in edh played this game ( :
Anyway, despite the engine, it's nice to finally see a Riku deck doing well in this channel; I think this is the first time.
Yess!!!!! Riku is what I was here for
Very pleased to see a Rashmi deck that actually grinds value. Y'all might see counterspell.deck, but try and fail to properly utilize Rashmi for card advantage, and typically it's because it gets removed... Because there wasn't a counter back up.
I was sad to see an utter lack of scarecrow destroy triggers... I feel like there are better options for 5 color friends if there's no synergy with RK
At the time this game was filmed there were no better options AND I actually had a decent amount of synergy with Reaper King that just never came out this game.
Yay, Pirates🏴☠️
At 8:07 I’m guessing the player casted mana crypt to fast rashmi?
I may have missed that, but I think so!
Great cast, love to see some Riku in action
pretty nice seeing a game played until turn 14.
Reaper King!
So excited to see that. Reaper king was the first commander I ever made, so it holds a special place in my heart
I’ve actually needed help with making a reaper king deck, I’ve tried every option on EDH rec but I just can’t find what I want. Reaper tribal sounds fun but painters servant isn’t a budget card.
@@ga_ga_gang_minecraft6595 what kind of deck are you looking to build? I'm Joel, the guy playing Reaper King in the video and I've built a dozen versions of it over the years. Maybe I could help.
@@philllllllll I’ve honestly been trying to make an all around Agro Reaper king deck, centered on tons of scarecrows and destruction of literally everything. I had a name for the idea and I called it “The lord Cometh and the lord Blowupeth”.
@@ga_ga_gang_minecraft6595 bad news is Scarecrows are absolutely horrible as a tribe and there's only maybe two of them that are worth playing.
Good news is.your scarecrows don't have to be scarecrows. I'm a big fan of making a Reaper King deck with repeatable token generators and cards that change the creature type of all your creatures. Deck generates offence and destroys permanents at will with Reaper King in play.
I do have to insist on REPEATABLE token generators because then you can start blowing stuff up immediately when Reaper King comes into play even though you're tapped out. Or at the very least, passively generate tokens while freeing your mana up to do other things.
Out of all the games I’ve seen with reaper king, why does it take so long for players to cast their Reaper or never cast it at all?
Unfortunately, as awesome as Reaper King is, he doesn't do anything on his own and players often just won't cast him until they have SOMETHING in hand to make him worth casting. You don't want to expose him to removal for 3-4 turns when you don't have any payoff cards in hand. He's a removal magnet.
I tried for 2 years to make a viable rashmi deck but could never get it to work (I was trying to play spells from the top)... then I put up something similar to the one shown here, with very low cmc instants and rashmi used mostly as card draw, but then I realized it was way too high on power level for my playgroup and removed all the infinite combos (scepter+dramatic reversal for instance), now it wins with creatures but it's still bit too strong, expecially cause wizards keeps printing simic bombs like koma, oko, etc..
Don't be apologetic about playing a deck that's "too strong".
Unfortunately, player skill is always gonna be a factor and recognizing good cards and good decks is part of that. I understand trying to play with a level playing field but you're still allowed to have fun. Your fun is just as valid as everyone else's at the table.
I have a ghalta deck that wins on average by turn four they think oh hes playing stompy and bam turn four and all of them are dead without even attacking with ghalta if you want to learn about it i can tell you how i win and its not what think its a very uniqe deck that im proud of ps i have been a player for 7 years
Nice full-altered Becket Brass
Why do they focus Joel so much? Plays Deploy the Gatewatch, amm thats why
I have a reputation at that LGS for having very nasty decks that can pull out a win out of nowhere.
I once won a game with my Titania deck the turn AFTER I had 0 permanents in play. (Somebody had just destroyed my entire board, including lands.)
That's why almost every video I'm in on this channel I'm very focused on.
Seems reasonable and a good thing
Every time I thought Rashmi must be out of interaction, here comes another one. That steady card advantage is strong, nice decks all around tho
dude, the way michel organized his board was throwing me off, lmao
Was Joel's deck particularly strong? It seems like everyone focused him pretty hard even being land screwed early on
Finishing the video answered my question duuur
This is one of my weakest decks I've played in the last decade tbh. That reputation is well-deserved, don't worry. I'm not being unfairly judged here, haha. Though it does sometimes get annoying where there's a very legitimate threat on the table people just ignore because I have a bad reputation.
@@philllllllll I hear you. That's a huge feel.
@@jonlamoreaux1889 yeah. That's why I don't mind if I'm being targeted more than everyone else when there's a somewhat even playing field. But when someone starts running away with the game because I MIGHT pull a win out of my ass instead of dealing with someone who WILL win if kept unchecked, I get a little annoyed. But oh well!
@@philllllllll I am the same way. The whole "I dont care who wins as long as it's not you" strategy is rediculous. But you got to make some splashy plays while you were still in it, even at single digit life points. Hope to see more of your decks soon.
Minimum blue table? Oh I see instants in every future!
Edit: 5:39 rashmi free casting says LESS than the triggering spell. Brainstorm should have went to hand
He PAID a blue to cast it..
@@thengine7 is is a filter land under that basic forest? Otherwise I dont see it
@@thedeadfool1 your right he free casted it good eye man
He cast a Negate to counter the Downfall. Its very hard to tell but the art is slightly different and there's less lines if flavor text visible on the Negate than the Dispel.
@@its_chris2323 so it's a narrative error then
Michel must really like Matthew's playmat I think he wanted to use it.
That Rashmi deck would've made me so mad
Seriously. And why not target him with the freebooter?
Holy Matthew and Jamieson came by with their cEDH decks looks like. Joel brought a strong deck too and Michael brougt a strong synergy in his. This is like 85% a cEDH match. Could easily be a casually competitivie one. Was fun to watch :D
As an occasional cEDH player myself I can tell you none of this is even close to cEDH. It might be high power for your group but that isn't what cEDH is. I'm really glad you had fun though!
I really don’t think Riku was even remotely close to cEDH
I think the Rashmi was a low powered cEDH deck. Mox Diamond, Flusterstorm, dramatic reversal/isochron, carpet of flowers etc.
@@drew941 having a handful of cards that happen to also be played in the best decks of the format doesn't mean the deck is at that level. Powerful? Absolutely. But not competitive.
@@philllllllll I know that. I'm mostly basing my assessment on only seeing one card that's not in the standard Rashmi cEDH control list..voltaic key.
why do you never post decklists :(
This game is nearly two years old. Most players involved, including myself, don't have those decks anymore.
If only Paradox Engine wasn’t banned. Lady Azami would be soooooo busted lmao
So you guys play with band cards ?
This game was filmed years ago.
Let's go pirates baybee
Im more of a magda kinda guy
Uuuuhhhh, btw i also want to see how the other players reflect on how the match went for them :)
Same here
I'm Joel, built and played the reaper king deck in this match. I posted a comment inviting everyone to comment or ask me questions so if you have anything you'd like to know please reply there and I'd be happy to chat
@@philllllllll ok then i start: if you watch the match now would you do something different?
Oh and did someone politic at that match?
@@okgut2033 there was barely any politics in that game and everyone was pretty much going all out trying to win. Unfortunately I didn't really have any options (as you can see with the poor card draws) so there wasn't anything I could've done different.
That said my deck would be VERY different if I built it today because I've learned a lot of things since then in how to construct a functional superfriends deck that doesn't rely on combos or gimmicks. (instant speed board wipes are your best friend)
It wasn't this deck's best showing, which seems to happen a lot whenever I'm on here. And it's hilarious because I promise you my reputation at that store is well-earned but it never comes across in the few games I get on camera, haha.
@14:35 ish, I don't understand why Matthew bounced the Freebooter after it stole Augury from Jamieson's hand. That's a very powerful card, and he just gave it back to him for seemingly no value. Edit: I updated this comment to say that that's what lost them the game.
He probably didn't want a flying pirate equipped with Sword of Feast and Famine.
@@DarkEinherjar But he could see the Amintou's Augury under it.. threat-assessment caused the loss.
Paradox engine? Did I miss something?
This is an old game. I felt it was a good enough showing from the other decks to post it.
Turning the volume on?
This is one of the first games I’ve seen with riku which is surprising considering he’s pretty busted
Omg I literally just built both Admiral Beckett Brass (although my version was quite different) AND Rashmi
Yes! Some Reaper King play. Scarecrow best tribe!!!
Wait super friends.... Lame
I was excited for jank tribal but got disappointed by it not being Scarecrows. My disapointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined lol
@@Starcraftgamer97 why reaper king for super friends lol
@@4wg368 Because when this game was filmed the other 5 colour commanders were Child of Alara or Karona the False God. There weren't any good options and I absolutely love Reaper King. I have a few win conditions built-in with Reaper King at the helm.
Likr Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast making three copies of Reaper King with his ultimate and thus destroying 9 permanents or Transmute Artifact to cheat a Possessed Portal into play, etc.
He's one of my favourite commanders and War of the Spark just came out and I wanted tk play a fun derpy superfriends deck.
Ahhh so much interaction
I can’t believe Matthew had Rashmi hit Saheeli.
What kind of reaper deck is that only plansewalker wtf?????
Dang. I came here to see the pirates, hoping to see the ones from Commander Legends played... and then the last card played in the game revealed the game is years old >_
That Rashmi deck seems unfun to play against, especially with the power level discrepancy present in this game. Force of Will and two overloaded cyclonic rifts? Fun guy to play with, I bet.
It's not too bad honestly.
soooo tired of UG Rhystic Study Cyclonic Rift million land decks. There just isn't another way to play. I mean why shouldn't a UG commander give you a card every time you do everything for no mana?
The problem with Rhystic Study is the idiots who refuse to pay the tax.
Thalia increases noncreature costs by 1 and people don't complain. Rhystic Study gives people the OPTION to ignore it and they do. Which gives the blue player insane advantage and it drives me crazy.
Pay your taxes people!
@@philllllllll Hard agree. If it means you have to wait another turn to play something good, do so!
CUE THE "PARADOX ENGINE IS BANNED" COMPLAINTS
Really glad the control deck lost. Nice going Jamieson!
Why the fuck is Michel playing his cards so far out on his mat? Just wondering why he’s playing his cards on Matthew’s playmat.
He's a pirate. Yarrrr
Matthew seemed to have out out for Jamieson the entire game. Was pretty brutal to watch.
Game was also a good example of why I think most players don't get much value of top. Seemed like it was repeatedly just a mana sink for him.
Top is amazing. I think the problem is when you don't have ways of drawing extra cards or shuffling your library you're stuck sinking mana desperately trying get to the good stuff hidden underneath the top 2.
@@philllllllll I didn't say top was bad. I said most players don't get value out of it in decks they put it in. Expanding on that, I think it often lacks value for them because they end up turning it into a two mana scry one by using it to draw every turn...
Which is exactly what it was for most of this game when he was topping every turn.
Agree it can be a very good card under the circumstances you describe (with draw, or ability to shuffle library).
If you're consistently using it to draw though on your turn, it's probably something you should reevaluate.
Every day I hope it's a new-new game, instead of a game from yesteryore...
Sadly, until I can record in my garage again or get a jab, I won't be doing much in person filming.
@@MTGMuddstah Really looking forward to those times...
Does Matthew not like to have fun? Can go 2 turns without a counterspell. And just when you think it's possible, NATURALIZE!!!!!!
Fun is a finite ressource.
Joel/Matthew standoff was super cool but it cost them the game
Matthew should play cedh with his deck ☺️
No he shouldn't. He is a horrible player with a ton of bad plays and missed triggers. Just because he played blue and green doesn't make him good.
Idk, I think I'd be happy to be joel and be out early. That game took a WHILE
Things kept happening so I wasn't getting bored. When it's a sword fight with wet noodles I get bored a lot quicker.
Post 14 seconds ago. Niiiice
Reaper King Superfriends... because regular Reaper King was not horrible enough...
Scarecrow tribal gang gang
I understand that having a certain number of counterspells is a necessity, especially in EDH, but Matthew had _far_ too many. What I don't understand is how people build decks like that, decks that specifically stop your opponents from doing _anything_ during the game, and then shake hands and smile with the person and say 'good game' when you counterspelled everything they did.
I'm such a guy and it's the best feeling in the world being the fun police
@@pwuhl That's really unfortunate, man. I don't know why you would enjoy taking the fun out of someone else's game. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I like everyone at the table to have fun.
That's just like, your opinion man.
Fun is a finite ressource!
@@evafox9696 for me fun police means to take the biggest threats at the table because most players in my group don't know shit about threat assessment. So as one of the experienced players I take care of all the game ending cards so the people can play fair magic. Except me of course.
Playing control in Edh is hard enough but it's a challenge.
Mental misstep in EDH.. what..
Sensei's divining top, birds of paradise, vampiric tutor, brainstorm, Demonic Consultation, Imperial Seal, Dispel, Swan Song, Swords to Plowshares, Wordly Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, etc.
@@philllllllll yeah but the thassa combo or the seal are not played in casual. For swords/PTE yeah you want to protect rashmi
@@plain6677 casual or not there's a bazillion great targets for Mental Misstep in edh. And why assume the deck was built for casual?
@@phillllllllloh because the channel is casual edh. But you’re right, maybe I should play this card, but usually I avoid Legacy-like cards for EDH.
Free paradox engine!
Joel was targeted this match
Yes. At first I was suprised, but once I saw super friends, I understood why :D
@@WiiTara idk even for me super friends isn’t fun to play against but it’s a lot less fun the one who’s playing them if they instantly become public enemy number 1
@@boopthief2668 Yeah of course. Its horrible if you get focused while actually contributed nothing to the game like in the beginning. On the other hand super friends decks are sadly the ones that escalate the quickest. You saw in this video what it actually took to finish them of and how close they were to winning even after all the focus in the early game.
I'm targeted every match. That comment about my reputation at the LGS isn't unfounded. But it comes with the territory. I play decks that I personally find enjoyable and some players are scared and target me heavily every match. Doesn't bother me all that much. I'm having fun even when I lose.
@@philllllllll If you can withstand that. Thats totaly great and I greatly respect this attitude. I just sadly know players who are taking being targeted very badly even if they are ahead or if the power level of their deck is far above the others.
Everyone had a rashmi lol
Having so many counterspells in your deck is absolutely obnoxious. Your basically playing with yourself at that point.
I don't mind it. I'm playing cards I think will win me the game. They're trying to stop me. I try to find a way around that and win despite their best efforts. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't. It is what it is.
Reaperking
Dose anyone else here him purposely mess up words? Like he called the bird token a burp token or am I deaf 😆😂
I said "burb"
@@MTGMuddstah well crap I’m deaf keep up the content man I love it!
Why are you all playing in person? Especially with new people lol
Game was filmed over a year ago.
Worst Reaper King deck ever.
Ech, too many blue players
New players making new player moves 🤦🏾♂️
green is the least interesting colour in edh, followed by blue. these are not opinions, these are facts
Lol your comment made me actually laugh out loud. Those are my 2 favorite colors, and I also love simic.
Paradox Engine has been banned xDD
Yep, which is why I mentioned it later
Yeah, this game was filmed before then.
Riku and Rashmi zzzzzzz
