So, to stroke my beard, a moment. Fun fact. Muxus actually is 5 goblins in a trench coat, and every day, they roll a dice to see which bother gets to be king that day. On the roll of a 6, they take the day off🤣
50:00 it's kind of BM that you counter the Starstorm after CGB uses a card (perfectly legal, because he did an action) but you did have priority and decided not to counter it originally.
On the subject of Ovika and the goblins it's very simple: Ovika is a Phyrexian Nightmare. You don't question what those are. They just are. You only fear them as they are nightmare creatures. So obviously it's a matter of [REDACTED] in Phyrexian biology.
At 41:43 when spiteful reposetion did 1 damage to CGB and created a second treasure token it shouldnt have as he was still under protection of the one ring which means at 49:58 ELIDH wouldn't have been able to izzet charm
Ovika alternate art almost seems like under the cloak are eyes or something sparkly. Love the shenanigans Amy brought using everyone else’s decks. Especially the rhystic study and the shark lol
Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, anyway: - only one fetch - no dual land - no tutors - no fast mana - no infinities - no win combo - some 0 mv interaction - some stax - low average mv Result: Definitely not a low cEDH deck (not a 9), I’d say this is 6-7. PS: I consider precons (not CMM) to be 2-3.

I love Olivia's reaction as she was casting the Exalted Flamer. It puts me back to when I pulled an Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore from one of my first booster packs and was trying to figure out what the heck I had gotten myself into with this game.
45:21 The only downside to the ring tempting you is that everyone wants to kill your ringbearer. Thematic and appropriate. The One Ring however, that needs a downside that sticks with you. An emblem with the burden
I love the hijinks. Im completely befuddled by some of the decisions in this game but I think thats par for the course on this channel 😆 Edit: also appreciate CGB. I also can't help but remind people of their triggers even if it doesnt actively help me.
Great game! Ovika is one of my favorite decks, doesn't always go as planned but its fun. Aminatou's Augury probably my favorite card in the deck I run, free cast and Ovika makes the table groan 😆
At around 22:00, Olivia could have paid for the Rhystic Study once. Thanks to both medallions, Ovika cost 2 less and she had 10 total mana, so the Jeska's Will die would go to 5, not 4
Wow...another close game with CGB? This pattern of gameplay is _exactly_ why I keep coming back and watching these Hijinks. And just saying, if Kibler isn't on the show, then it isn't Elder Dragon Hijinks, it's just Hijinks. 😅
Oooh, I get to point out an error that doesn't end up mattering: CGB wouldn't have been able to cast the Pongify as a final act of defiance because the Morphic Pool should have come in tapped because at that point he only had one opponent.
Lovely gameplay as always, love the energy you all bring... but... did Olivia discard a land card at 44:33 without... ever... playing a land that turn?... I get distractions and mistakes happen... but that seemed really surprising none the less xD
Aight so lore-wise, Ovika is essentially a sixth lesser dominus. When Mirrodin was restructured into New Phyrexia and its layers, the domini emerged from their respective sphere, almost like avatars of that aspect of the plane. Ovika is what emerged from what was left of Mirrodin after it was stripped for parts. That and the fact that all those blue dots are probably eyes is all we know about Ovika from the one paragraph of information we were given about him. So that leaves everything about him up for headcanon. Why izzet? Why goblins? Well the real domini are already monocolored, so out of of the multicolor combinations few are better suited to represent Mirrodin's once artifact rich tattered remains as izzet. And nothing represents a tortured Mirran more than Slobad, who held great influence over the plane at least for a short amount of time.
I played my Ovika deck for the first time at MagicCon Minneapolis. Won 2/3 games that weekend each on the turn I cast Shared Animosity. I think that 1 game is the only one I've lost with the deck so far (only played it once or twice since then, though) Also Distant Melody is a silly draw spell for Ovika. Since Ovika is a Phyrexian you can name Phyrexian and even with nothing else on the board it draws 5 cards for 4 mana.
I TOO have a dumb spells izzet deck, which I often let people just pick one of the commanders for 🤣. (or depending on how strong the other decks are, I pick a weaker or stronger option, my favourite being Melek, Izzet Paragon, eventhough he IS one of the weaker ones, weird spell copy shennanigans really tickles me). This deck has self destructed me about as much as it has killed others, and I LOVE IT :D
Didn't CGB forget to add the damage from his commander during that last attack? I only saw him add up the total from the other 2 nazgul, or was it tapped before combat for some reason i missed?
I try to have 'backup' Commanders for when my decks have objectively weaker Commanders, sometimes it's hard to find another that fits the deck's theme though. I have the same Rhystic Study as Amazonian, but I also don't use it atm, it's a really obnoxious card. I have 2 decks that could probably fit it in, both cEDHish decks. Whey protein isn't supposed to stink iirc?? I've had some weird proteins, but yeah, not stinky whey iirc? Pea protein smells weird I remember, soy smells vaguely unpleasant to me, but most are almost entirely bland more than anything, protein has very little flavor/smell without processing/adding carbs and fat in proper proportions. Also, if you put enough turmeric, black pepper, and cinnamon in your protein shake you can't tell if the whey smells weird I guess? Way to go Olivia, beating the dreaded CGB!
My play group decided that Ovika is a bunch of goblins in a phyrexian trenchcoat.
YES!! This is now canon.
Seconded. I'm stealing this.
So, to stroke my beard, a moment. Fun fact. Muxus actually is 5 goblins in a trench coat, and every day, they roll a dice to see which bother gets to be king that day. On the roll of a 6, they take the day off🤣
I read this as “Olivia” like damn y’all just ragging on this woman….but reading it again…checks out.
@scottricks1676 🤣 yeah I could totally see that misunderstanding
So long, and thanks for all the SHARKS!
We'll call it a LOAN SHARK
Man, CGB must really love everyone there. True love is reminding you of your triggers
31:48 Amy’s little crime spree just made me laugh thinking about Ragavan holding up a poorly written sign stating “Be Red, Do Crime”
Olivia casually TOSSING her general back into the library after searching it and have it sticking perfectly needs recognition
CGB secretly playing “group hug” just by reminding everyone of their value triggers 😂
Covert go hug
CGB playing table police the entire game lmao
That was so close in the end there - well done you guys!

Thanks for watching this week, yall! Appreciate youuuuuuuu
Once you go rhystic Study, you never go back buddy
I ain't putting it in my decks!
I only have one, and it’s in my Ovika deck. Everyone always pays the one 😒
Ovika is probably my favorite commander I've built, and watching Olivia go completely ham with it is so pure.
This show really earned it's name this time around. Fully hijunks ensued. Amazing!
I’ve always thought that since Ovika is a nightmare, the nightmare she brings is the number of goblins
I already think Amy is so cute already, but her being cute is cuteness overload.
This was such a fun game to watch. Amy is hysterical and CGB is fantastic. Of course Eli and Olivia are awesome as always. Thanks for a great product.
Also love Olivia’s take at the end, “got to the end just to stay mad.” 😂
So glad to see that Olivia remembered that the wraiths created by Nazgul have menaché 😂😂😂
I can't believe CGB brought the freakin' power 9 to Hijinks
Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, anyway:
- only one fetch
- no dual land
- no tutors
- no fast mana
- no infinities
- no win combo
- some 0 mv interaction
- some stax
- low average mv
Result:
Definitely not a low cEDH deck (not a 9), I’d say this is 6-7.
PS: I consider precons (not CMM) to be 2-3.
@@ricksanchez4492 Yes. It was a joke.
Came for CGB - stayed for Ovika
53:50
CGB: Are you going to take me out?
Olivia: Where do you want to go?
😉😂

this game was seriously awesome!! that ovika deck was WILD; such fun decks and hijinks on the show today! ❤
I love Olivia's reaction as she was casting the Exalted Flamer. It puts me back to when I pulled an Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore from one of my first booster packs and was trying to figure out what the heck I had gotten myself into with this game.
I absolutely love CGB’s sleeves! I just keep randomly laughing when I see them!
Amy's deck speaks to my soul. I annoy my playgroup with all of my steal shenanigans and I can't get enough of it😅
45:21 The only downside to the ring tempting you is that everyone wants to kill your ringbearer. Thematic and appropriate. The One Ring however, that needs a downside that sticks with you. An emblem with the burden
Yay for Amy and CGB! You always have lovely guests.
Yeah that board wipe should of gone through considering Ovika and Magnus were out at the same time. Those 2 creatures plus X spells is insane
I love the hijinks. Im completely befuddled by some of the decisions in this game but I think thats par for the course on this channel 😆
Edit: also appreciate CGB. I also can't help but remind people of their triggers even if it doesnt actively help me.
Way I see it I remind ppl if it was bound to happen. Victory feels empty if eveyone isn’t playing at max capacity!
Olivia bringing high-tier goblin mob energy.
Great game! Ovika is one of my favorite decks, doesn't always go as planned but its fun. Aminatou's Augury probably my favorite card in the deck I run, free cast and Ovika makes the table groan 😆
Love seeing CGB (lose) and Amy being a sneak thief. Another great episode.
53:56 The real content: CAT
At around 22:00, Olivia could have paid for the Rhystic Study once. Thanks to both medallions, Ovika cost 2 less and she had 10 total mana, so the Jeska's Will die would go to 5, not 4
I absolutely love Najal, the storm runner. I am only now just about to watch this. But go Eilidh!
Those playmats are like Eilidh! Cute 😉
Video equipment and a small child. You just describe CGB 😆 🤣 that got me good
As I have a Najal deck, I must root for the flashy Efreet Wizard. Go, Eilidh!
Spilling a protein shake is just a thing and it’s never not sad
Wow...another close game with CGB?

Good catch! Didn't even cross our minds
at the hospital getting chemo treatment for my messed up balls but edh keeps me sane during this crap thank you guys!
That's rough, man! All the best! Kick its ass!
I need an "Eat Banana- Do Crime" shirt or at least a sticker.
I love playing Ovika. Great showing
No sight of green anywhere?! what was this game, real fun to watch. Also cool Playmats!
Amy's cat@53:57 ❤❤
Lovely gameplay as always, love the energy you all bring... but... did Olivia discard a land card at 44:33 without... ever... playing a land that turn?... I get distractions and mistakes happen... but that seemed really surprising none the less xD
I think that's actually the most asked question in commander, "did I play a land?" XD
The One Ring needed to have a major upside, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have a downside, think of the FLAVOR!!
Even though it was random, i love najal. I used em as a commander for a while, can definitely be pretty explosive.
Taking out the poor monke first was a crime. It just wanted to study, rhystically, for pirate school

Olivia and I have so many of the same commanders. Love it and love her

Also Distant Melody is a silly draw spell for Ovika. Since Ovika is a Phyrexian you can name Phyrexian and even with nothing else on the board it draws 5 cards for 4 mana.
I think I need to see Amy and Crim in a crime-off
Thought my brand new screen was dying, then replayed the video and figured out it was just spell table glitching. Awesome Game tho!!!
That playmat is sweet!
I TOO have a dumb spells izzet deck, which I often let people just pick one of the commanders for 🤣. (or depending on how strong the other decks are, I pick a weaker or stronger option, my favourite being Melek, Izzet Paragon, eventhough he IS one of the weaker ones, weird spell copy shennanigans really tickles me).

There is a glitch in the matrix. Olivia's lands matched.
If they aren’t going to play dockside extortionist anymore then they should mail me a couple 😂😂😂
Izzet Spellslinger is so dumb that you can pick of 12 random commanders, and it really doesn't change things that much. ^_^
Was amazonian drinking and playing magic?
Thats what i call a good time.
12:28 Wait, not using them? I can't say I'm as kind. 👹 Anyway I can get one if they're just sitting and collecting dust? 😃
Thanks for the entertainment!
The fact that Olivia won with only four life after grousing about potentially loosing by four life is great.
Yyyooooo!!! Cgb's sleeves are the business!!
I should try the Random commander thing with my izzet/Prismari deck. I only have 6 potential commanders in it though.
The silly joy Olivia feels playing this deck is everything I want people to get out of commander
Finally they brought MTG’s favorite son back!
"Is this some sort of Tik Tok?" - Grandma Amy
Definitely looking forward to the new colorless commander 🎉
I love this game!!
Another great game. Crime doing crime things and you love to see it.
Drawing the cards gives you the cards
Wouldn’t the ovika cast on the jeska’s will cost less because of the medallions?
Another great episode
Turns out 33 lands might not be enough ^^
I love that Amy's brand has more and more become CRIME
1:04 in the nine mine
Didn't CGB forget to add the damage from his commander during that last attack? I only saw him add up the total from the other 2 nazgul, or was it tapped before combat for some reason i missed?
Super excited to see Ovika she’s by far been my favorite commander since I saw her I love shocking people by have a token deck in Izzet colors
That ending was so amazing. And gross. But mostly amazing.
this episode is full of war crimes
Olivia should have swung with just enough goblins to leave CGB at 1 so he dies from his ring
I love Eilidh Commander-Deck an the random cause.. thats fun bevor the game begin!❤😅
I love that twitter is in its death throws, I don't only hear things I like now.. it's the worst!
Ovika eats lightning and craps goblins
Bahahahahaha 🤣
Scraps made an appearance!
Awesome game!
Yay! Lots of blue 🔵 💙
Amys cat is awesome...
17:46 I submit that half a cigarette is a worse smell than old whey protein. 🤮
❤ great pod! ❤
I try to have 'backup' Commanders for when my decks have objectively weaker Commanders, sometimes it's hard to find another that fits the deck's theme though.
I have the same Rhystic Study as Amazonian, but I also don't use it atm, it's a really obnoxious card. I have 2 decks that could probably fit it in, both cEDHish decks.

Way to go Olivia, beating the dreaded CGB!
Hosses. Yes. I appreciate that comment.
Aimee’s cat’s head is quite large.
BOTH main phases? IN THIS ECONOMY?
cgb must have so much patience !
Every game he plays he is usually the first one to deal with so much hostility lmao
