      SmallAnt had at least one more turn. The three mana from Hydra’s Growth wasn’t subtracted so the Prof wouldn’t have been able to play Ram Through at the end. I wish he would’ve rolled at the end so we could’ve at least seen if he died from that 😂

    @DrkNinja_ Год назад +747

    Just a heads up, especially for anybody seeing this and wanting to build malestrom wanderer, there was a large blunder with how things resolve in this game. The Genesis ultimatum has to finish resolving in its entirety before any of those enter the battlefield effects happen. This means that the cavalier of gales does not give her an opportunity to set up the next two cards that Genesis ultimatum flips, which means there could have been a whiff.
    Whenever a spell is on the stack and is putting cards into the battlefield that spell has the completely resolve before those ETBs can affect anything on the board.

    I think genesis ultimatum resolves all at once. You don't reveal card after card one at a time. You can't use a creature that brainstorms in the middle of the resolving. But it would impact the second cascade trigger from maelstrom wanderer.

    • @AronFiechter
      @AronFiechter Год назад +2

      Yes, all spells and effects must resolve completely and anything that gets triggered during the resolution goes on the stack and gets resolved later.
      This is exploited for example when flickering Toothy, Imaginary Friend, to draw a card for each counter on him when it leaves the battlefield but still put all counters back onto it because of said draws, because the flicker effect must resolve completely before the draws happen.

    @suazaa8719 Год назад +4

    Loved the content! I hate to be a downer, I know its a casual game, but there were some rulebreaks in the beginning there. Both Kamahl's Druidic Vow and Genesis Ultimatum must resolve in their entirety before any triggered abilities happen from cards entering the battlefield. So those 3 cards drawn from the ultimatum creature trigger would happen after all 5 cards are drawn/put into play. All triggered abilities would then happen simultaneously and you (the spellcaster) get to choose the order in which you stack those abilities. It can get quite complicated, if you want to keep your sanity don't ever cast 'Eureka' in commander when everyone's got a full hand.

    I am okay with honest minor errors, but that cascade into Genesis Ultimatium (and the resolution of the stack) was chock full of misplays and rules breaking. I am surprised no one called any of that out. I think that if someone is going to run a deck with specific triggers such as cascade and effects like this, they should definitely know how to resolve it properly.

    @51:52 the Hydra's Growth was taken from the 17 floating green mana making the remaining floating mana = 14. Helix Pinnacle for 1 makes floating mana = 13. By then, a player incorrectly says Prof has 17 mana, which Prof corrects to 16, when in fact it was 13. Blanchwood Armor for 3 makes floating mana = 10. Bear Umbra for 4 makes floating mana = 6. Prof still has access to 3 mana by land right now. Nylea's Colossus for 7 means his floating mana is exhausted by 1, meaning that 1 mana needs to come from one of his 3 mana possible from his lands. So at this point he has access to only 2 mana via his lands. He does not have enough mana to play Snake Umbra for 3. That said, he did have the 2 mana to play Ram Through, and did legitimately win. The only error here was playing the Snake Umbra he couldn't play. The Prof did a great job and absolutely deserved this win.

    • @sadarot
      @sadarot Год назад +13

      If I am not wrong he miscounted his enchants though as he missed the enchantress presence, so his creature would have another +2/+2 and he would get 2 more green mana. Therefore get enough Mana.
