Because people tend to tunnel vision and forget about the boardstate. If I'm not playing cEDH in a tournament, I just scoop when I see it happen. There's no point in continuing after someone has fed any player in the game 10+ cards.
"Ooh a Master of Keys deck, I'm brewing this deck so lets see an example of how it plays" *Zeb throws game* "Thank you for showing me how to play the deck"
I play ob nixilis as a commander in a lower power pod, every other game an interaction like this happens: "I cast necropotence" "I'll activate necropotence 20 times" "Ok 20 ob nixilis triggers" "wait wait wait hold up"
Forget the Necro, why even take the Mystic Remora draw triggering OBM to finish off Drannith with Pyretic Ritual and a black mana available to cast Ob Nix on that turn with a full rotation ahead
I was hyped enough to see a new video from my favorite gameplay channel, but then I saw Marath and realized it must be the hosts of my favorite mtg podcast. Excellent.
@thehowlingsaltmine I thought it could be a coincidence at first, there is a whole Marath discord after all. But Marath, Sisay, and Ob had to be y'all.
From what I’m seeing post ban turn 4 has been the quickest (minus Rog Si) most decks combo off. It has probably slowed down by 1.5 turns. Ob Nixilis seems very good right now.
Tony's last actions were probably irrelevant as Ob Nix already had like 30 counters. Very nice game, although Zeb's attempt with Necropotence was most questionable. But I guess it's go big or go home.
Probably would have killed Mike with Ob in combat before attempting to cast Soul Caudron just to remove possible interaction. They still got there in the end, but Sam dd get an additional turn instead of dying on upkeep.
I dont understand why Tony didnt win on the spot with All Will Be One and Ob Nix triggers? Couldnt he just infinitely mow down the entire table or am I missing something?
@@twi1ightknight One Ring is not enough of an issue for the deck to worry about. Ob already has a ton of cards that fuel his engine so diluting it with a random card that helps in a niche scenario is not worth it. In cases like what happened in this game I’m pretty sure there was a way to set up an upkeep kill for when the protection ended. Even if he couldn’t get an upkeep win it turned out to be a non-issue here. In most other games Walking Ballista will be available to upkeep kill anyways, just a very rare case that it wasn’t available here because he exiled it himself. Just Praetor’s grasp someone and take their Oracle and win that way too instead of kill everyone with All Will Be One.
Since the one ring had exactly one burden counter on it, i fine Tony was hoping he wouldn’t think to tap one ring in the upkeep to prevent the one burden counter=one life loss trigger.
It couldn't, but it hardly matters because Tony had other creatures, and the Cauldron would've given all of them Ballista's abilities anyway as long as they had counters.
@PlayingWithPowerMTG so I should get one for my kids then? 'It literally said in the ad'. Snake oil got you good mate. You put it to your lips, you inhale flavors. It's a vape.
@@brendans1983 It's a stop smoking aid, but you do you. I know I would hate it if my kids vaped. But if you need to buy one to get your kid to stop vaping, by all means, you should pick one up.

I don't get why people plays Necropotence into an Obnixilis, it never goes well.
True
I was thinking the same thing
Because people tend to tunnel vision and forget about the boardstate.
If I'm not playing cEDH in a tournament, I just scoop when I see it happen. There's no point in continuing after someone has fed any player in the game 10+ cards.
That was the blunder that started all.
"Ooh a Master of Keys deck, I'm brewing this deck so lets see an example of how it plays"
*Zeb throws game*
"Thank you for showing me how to play the deck"
Zeb literally committed suicide lol, why in the world would you feed Ob Nixilis like that
I play ob nixilis as a commander in a lower power pod, every other game an interaction like this happens:
"I cast necropotence"
"I'll activate necropotence 20 times"
"Ok 20 ob nixilis triggers"
"wait wait wait hold up"

I haven't finished the vid yet but I can tell Zeb straight up threw the game
gameplay starts at 2:58
Not sure why Nicol Bolas didn’t destroy Ob Nixilis 🥵
I was hyped enough to see a new video from my favorite gameplay channel, but then I saw Marath and realized it must be the hosts of my favorite mtg podcast. Excellent.
Yeah Marath really makes it obvious that its me lol
@thehowlingsaltmine I thought it could be a coincidence at first, there is a whole Marath discord after all. But Marath, Sisay, and Ob had to be y'all.
Pumped to see that Thraben Charm. Card is so versatile and should see more play. Especially in MonoW.
Marath, that was one of the 3 Tiny Leaders decks ive ever built, along with Alisha, and Animar
I never get tired of those Stack Wars...
Why is no one talking about Tony having two lions eye diamonds? They played one on turn two then again later in the game. Seems strange no?
Good pick up
Probably just an error in the narration. It didn't make a difference in the game overall though.
@@PlayingWithPowerMTG no definitely didn’t make a difference, just got confused is all
@@deimos8900 Just a narration error! Tony is using goldsabertooth proxies and that was a Mox Diamond.
@ I figured it was, just took me by surprise and the proxies kinda look the same. Either way great game!
You links aren't to the correct decklists again. Sissay and Ob nix are swapped.
Boohoo
Also, please use a different deck list site. That site has an ad tracker on it so I have to disable site tracking to access it.
I’ll update it, thanks
It's the Howling Salt Mine!
From what I’m seeing post ban turn 4 has been the quickest (minus Rog Si) most decks combo off. It has probably slowed down by 1.5 turns. Ob Nixilis seems very good right now.
Very cool to see THSM in action

I (Sam) had got into his head that I had some interaction so he was playing it out cautiously.
So excited for the posts
Dam. When ob gets going it absolutely crushes. Need to be more on guard of the ob players now
So glad this is post-ban!
Cool to see ob still winning games. I wonder if rakdos the muscle will be his new replacement
It might be but I would think it would be better to just play Tymna/Dargo with Rakdos in the 99
Probably would have killed Mike with Ob in combat before attempting to cast Soul Caudron just to remove possible interaction. They still got there in the end, but Sam dd get an additional turn instead of dying on upkeep.
I really miss the times when we could see the starting hands/mulligans!
Why did Tony equip the Lightning Greaves to Ob before going for the Soul Cauldron effect? Did he forger about shroud?
Doesn't matter, soul cauldron gives all creatures with counters abilities of exiled cards. He could put the counter on any creature
Nice game! ❤
I dont understand why Tony didnt win on the spot with All Will Be One and Ob Nix triggers? Couldnt he just infinitely mow down the entire table or am I missing something?
One ring
the one ring etb effect
Sam still had protection from everything until his next turn due to the one ring.
is bonecrusher giant worth it to shut down the one ring?
No
@@wanderingaming5805 clear and convincing explanation.

Not really, but you could opt for Flaring Pain instead. Increased versatility as it can be cast from the grave.
Soul cauldron couldn't give the +1+1 to ob nixilis since he had the greaves right?
It couldn't, but it hardly matters because Tony had other creatures, and the Cauldron would've given all of them Ballista's abilities anyway as long as they had counters.
all creatures you control with counters on them have the cauldron abilities
ob had like 30 counters on him. haha
1 person got to play the game more than the other 3 players combined
love see winning "NinoBixio"
Start the video and get told that i should buy a vape for my friends and family...
Anyone else find that a bit off?
It’s not a vape. It literally said it in the ad…
@PlayingWithPowerMTG so I should get one for my kids then?
'It literally said in the ad'. Snake oil got you good mate.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG you say it's fun and relaxing, and a great gift. Get one for your kids for Xmas, hopefully it helps them relax.
The Divining Top+Prosper+amulet should be game, why he discarded It?
New goal: Build a deck with SO MANY triggers, the video is 30 minutes long. lol
Powerful cards, powerful formats, not-so-powerful plays. Cheers to the Ob, though!
How many times did ryan say ob gets [n] counters? Lmao
Too many... lol.
Zen getting roasted in the comments
Everyone loves a good roast
I love Ob
Nice win Tony. So much for get f#$%^& 4th player
Don't give him too much credit LOL
Wow
