Possibly the most epic battle yet. Chris Kluwe tries to lock down Day[9]'s Abzan aggro deck with a blue/black control build using new Magic Origins cards like Demonic Pact! Is demonic trickery enough to sway a charging Siege Rhino from its course?
Magic: The Gathering epic battle? While I was entertained this was the most one sided battle yet in Spellslingers. I mean there was never any real interaction, just a lot of counter.
I've been waiting for true Black/Blue for a while and now I feel vindicated, drinking Sean's tears like a fine wine. I savour his suffering, and you should too!
What an epic game. I totally lost it at the James Bond villain speech, this kind of storytelling within a Magic game makes it such a fun game to play with a friend!
***** 4x "Boseiju who shelters all" and 4x "Cavern of Souls", should help your deck out against him. Not sure if you play modern though... Being a blue/black player at heart, I can say how much I hate seeing my son play a Cavern of Souls and then basically laugh at me and just play his freaking creature. The only option I have is nuke spells, which work well, but now with Collected Company and others, he regenerates pretty fast. Too fast... I know that there are plenty of others, but those two cards are kind of an automatic "sure" :-)
Perfect victory for him! Back to 20 life, kills perfectly to 0, leaves opponent with no cards, has TWO demonic pacts and barely dodges the kill spell Sean would have had the next turn. I love this game!
I started watching these episodes to help myself learn how to play magic. I can proudly say that this is the episode that got me playing blue to this day.
If only Chris would have played that Disperse before looting with Jace, then he would have flipped and survived the Languish. THEN HE COULD HAVE FLASHBACKED THE DISPERSE ON THE DEMONIC PACT! Oh, the missed value...
AntaresMTG Chris probably didn't actually have the disperse, I can't say for sure because the camera wasn't focused on the cards in Chris's hand but on Sean. That being said, Sean was contributing way to much to the board. Only playing one Undercity Troll and leaving mana up to regenerate it on subsequent turns would have been a much better plan of action.
Great game to watch, both players had a plan and knew the game. Spellslingers is fun to watch players just have fun playing Magic but once in a while, it is nice to see both players know the game well enough to plan a victory turns in advance. Thumbs up to Day9 and Chris Kluwe.
MORE! This is not only a great example of control, it covers a wide range of actions. Really love these spellslinger vids, keep em coming! It resolves!
CaptainTalon448 Blue is horrible because my brother thought it was a great idea to put 2x mindrot in his deck. It's a spell that makes target player discards 2 cards. BS. Of course then there is also the other 2 cards that make you discard the top 5 cards and top 8 cards of your library. absolute bs.
Martin Ipsen Blue is awesome, i have 4 cards in my deck that makes the opponent discard the top 5 cards of his or her library and it only cost one island but its super fun to hold them in your hand and just use all those islands you have to make them discard 20 cards total and use Ludevics test subject to finish them off :)
camille bell Nice! Have you ever heard of a card Ludevics Test subject? its so fun to use and your opponents flips the table once its true glory is activated.
Learning and playing magic was on my bucket list after watching your show. I am 57 years with terminal cancer. Watching your show taught me how to play Magic and now my son game every day. Thank you for making my life just a little brighter in the time I have left. I don't want anything from you I just wanted you to know you made a difference.
I am so glad to see that they are willing to tackle some more complex decks with people who know how. This is a great series, I think, for people not familiar with the game their normal routine is great but its nice for those of us who are familiar with the game to see some more complex tactics used every so often as well!
This one was by far the most entertaining show out of all of these very entertaining shows on Geek and Sundry. Might have even outdone Table Top's Cards of Humanity episode. Good job! Sure....
This video was perfect length. I was able to enjoy the whole thing before work. I happen to find it and watch it when I had 25 minutes before work. Was quite enjoyable. I'm glad I noticed it. Made me want to get back into the game. Been playing Magic Duels, etc. but they aren't the same as playing against a person with physical cards.
Great episode! Chris was a great guest, personable, funny, and explaining each step of what he was doing. I enjoy watching episodes with those who know how to play the game well.
At the Pre-Release I did the Two-Headed Giant event. My partner cast Demonic Pact, and we had a 15/15 Managorger Hydra with our opponents at 5 life. On our upkeep he picked the you lose the game option.
Even though Blue/Black is pretty cool... my absolute favorite is Blue/Red, it really makes you think about every turn you make and the synergy between spells and creatures is amazing... like most other decks it's not about just putting creatures on the board. The decks I really hate though are the life gaining ones... it's pure stalling without anything happening, really boring.
Angelina Matthews "Removal..." "counter" "removal" "threat" "mass removal" "counter"... Looks like every other game that includes Blue. Permission is as fun to watch as paint drying. And it's even less fun to play against.
Orinn000 (Please bear in mind that I've only started playing magic since late November/early December last year.) Spellslingers, to me, is a series created to help introduce people to MTG and as a way to provide entertainment using casual play rather than the footage that most people may be watching from GPs or other tournaments that take on a more serious tone with hundred dollar decks. While I can see your point about control decks not being so much fun to play against, as I hate seeing my creatures go into the graveyard as well, every deck has their strengths and weaknesses. What about agro decks as suggested by ***** or mill decks or decks that utilize protection or infect? Those can be just as miserable but I digress... While it was unfortunate that Sean wasn't able to do much, it wasn't like he was unable to do anything at all through the round. Chris just happened to have better answers and draws. Overall, their interactions were amusing and they both seemed to enjoy themselves. Isn't that really the point?
Angelina Matthews The interactions, the players themselves? Great video, actually. I was laughing out loud at points, and I'm going back and watching it again. The gameplay, though? Boring. The video was entertaining despite the game they were playing. And Parth Patel : You can't expect anything to resolve. You can make some predictions, bait the counters, and predict what you can get done, but the one thing you cannot expect when playing against Blue/Black: you cannot expect to be able to play your deck.
As a more experienced MtG player, this was definitely the most interesting episode so far. Seeing some of the new cards was cool and Chris Kluwe was entertaining to watch face stomp Sean.
Loved this match with two experienced players. At around 17:00 when Chris uses Languish followed by Disperse to return his Demonic Pact to hand, he (possibly for the edit) missed a better play? If he intended to Disperse on his turn while Sean had no cards and was tapped out, had he Dispersed first, followed by tapping Jace to draw and then discard a card, he could have flipped his Jace before wiping most of the board with Languish.
I have a question about 15:29. Before languish resolves, can't he use disperse and Jace's tap to have 5 cards in graveyard to them flip Jace before Languish?
Great episode! That is the first time I've had a chance to see Demonic Pact actually played. When it was spoiled I thought it was super cool, great seeing it used so effectively.
This is another example of why I am one of those terrible people who like both Blue and Black. I aspire to have as much fun playing MTG as Chris Kluwe.
I think this was the best episode of the show to date. Experienced players make Sean turn up his game a bit (even though there wasn't much more he could have done with his hand in this game) and make it very entertaining to watch. The decks they played were fantastically built and the interaction between Sean and Chris was on point. Not to mention, seeing the card Sean needed was his next draw was icing on the cake.
Such major misplays! "Sure" cannot resolve, EVER, the effect of "Sure" reads "Your opponent counters with "Sure" and when your opponent counters you counter their counter with effect of "Sure" creating an endless loop of "Sure"s, "Sure" never resolves, such scrubbery!!!
Snowcube94 Concede and go get ice cream. Serious though you counter with a highly aggressive deck with lots of cheap fast creatures and some burn or your own removal for there few creatures, burn being in this case the better option as you can throw it at there face (think like the pacts ability to do 4 damage to a player or creature is what burn is but it comes from red primarily)
Snowcube94 Basically what pervavita said...green deck for lots of cheap summons early on and red deck for lots of burning. Those decks can be built alternatively, but to specifically counter blue/black, people usually build a red/green deck.
Snowcube94 Okay, even is this video you saw he was only one card away from winning the match. It seemed pretty balanced game to me. But to answer your questions there are lands that allow you to cast a creature card that can't be countered, there are creature cards that say "can't be countered" or "protection from blue". Then there is the generic "hexproof" and "shroud" creatures, that once they do get in to play, they can't be targeted. Granted board wipes still get them, but generally by the time your opponent can cast those they should be really hurting. In my opinion Blue has been really nerfed from what it once was. I would LOVE to see "counter spell" back in the game. Two drop, Blue Blue that countered any spell. With all the anti-counter stuff out, it is time to bring that card back.
Steve Michael No it's not. Anti-counter cards are specific to that particular mechanic. They're completely useless against decks without countering. Meanwhile, counter cards work against nearly anything.

TheCrosshare he cancels it 😂😅
Sure. It resolves.
He counters it successfully.
He is very good at countering things I see ;)
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
AH, Blue: The color for players who want to play Magic, but don't want anyone else to do so.
Sean McTiernan lol
Sean McTiernan I love your profile pic. lich king
Sean McTiernan true... I
I’ll have you know that’s actually the BEST way to play Magic.
Sure
Sean: I don't have any cards. I'm interested to see what you're doing.
Chris: Second Demonic Pact
Sean: (big sarcastic smile)
Me: (laughing til I cry)
does anybody regulary come back to this episode?

Possibly the most epic battle yet. Chris Kluwe tries to lock down Day[9]'s Abzan aggro deck with a blue/black control build using new Magic Origins cards like Demonic Pact! Is demonic trickery enough to sway a charging Siege Rhino from its course?
Magic: The Gathering
epic battle?
While I was entertained this was the most one sided battle yet in Spellslingers. I mean there was never any real interaction, just a lot of counter.
Magic: The Gathering *Spoilers*
yes. yes, it is.
Magic: The Gathering No spoiling
Magic: The Gathering Blue is hate...BUT dimir is love! Day9 ¬¬
Sure.
I've been waiting for true Black/Blue for a while and now I feel vindicated, drinking Sean's tears like a fine wine. I savour his suffering, and you should too!
This episode is a good setup to make two T-shirts
1) T-shirt with "Sure."
2) T-shirt with "It resolves"
gerbillgrubb Put "Sure" on the front and "It Resolves" on the back.
Trevius Rex I want that shirt!
gerbillgrubb There's a T-shirt with the Island symbol and the text "You'll play that spell when I want you to play that spell."
eyl227 I. Need. That. Shirt.

What an epic game. I totally lost it at the James Bond villain speech, this kind of storytelling within a Magic game makes it such a fun game to play with a friend!
Reminds me when I play against my husband's blue decks:
Me: "Can I ... can I cast this?"
Husband: "Hmmm .... I'll allow it."
***** That sounds hilarious. xD
Sure!
***** that is alpha as f*ck doe ;)
***** But watch yourself McCoy....
***** 4x "Boseiju who shelters all" and 4x "Cavern of Souls", should help your deck out against him. Not sure if you play modern though... Being a blue/black player at heart, I can say how much I hate seeing my son play a Cavern of Souls and then basically laugh at me and just play his freaking creature. The only option I have is nuke spells, which work well, but now with Collected Company and others, he regenerates pretty fast. Too fast...
I know that there are plenty of others, but those two cards are kind of an automatic "sure" :-)
Perfect victory for him! Back to 20 life, kills perfectly to 0, leaves opponent with no cards, has TWO demonic pacts and barely dodges the kill spell Sean would have had the next turn. I love this game!
God I love this show, this and tabletop is the only reason I stay subscribed to G and S
wrap267 Same
wrap267 You don't watch Titansgrave? If not you're missing out.
wrap267 Add Titansgrave and Critical Role, then we're good.
KathTea Katastrophy - Corsetiere & Model gonna go try em out :)
wrap267 The best and latest stuff are on the G&S website, you can still comment on the unlisted videos on RUclips.
This video always makes me smile. I watch it two or three times a month just to see Sean get punted by Chris. lol
I started watching these episodes to help myself learn how to play magic. I can proudly say that this is the episode that got me playing blue to this day.
Good for you, I learned how to play Magic from my cousin Darby.
If only Chris would have played that Disperse before looting with Jace, then he would have flipped and survived the Languish. THEN HE COULD HAVE FLASHBACKED THE DISPERSE ON THE DEMONIC PACT! Oh, the missed value...
AntaresMTG I think at that point Sean would have flipped the table :P
Philip Baker That's two of the same legendaries.
AntaresMTG Chris probably didn't actually have the disperse, I can't say for sure because the camera wasn't focused on the cards in Chris's hand but on Sean.
That being said, Sean was contributing way to much to the board. Only playing one Undercity Troll and leaving mana up to regenerate it on subsequent turns would have been a much better plan of action.
Zairian At 13:24 you can see that he has Disperse already in hand.
Zairian It would be pretty foolish to wait for a top-deck save from that enchantment, he probably had it from the start.
Please bring this show back!!
please
Pleaseeee.
Yes please!
Please!!!!!
i want this show back please
This is, by far, my favorite episode of Spellslingers!

This was by far my favorite episode! I love Sean's smile after Chris played the second Demonic Pact!!! lol!!! Great deck, Chris!!!
as a long time blue player, i've been waiting for this episode since the beginning.
well done Chris, congrats on brutalising sean :)
I've never seen Magic before in my life. The camera work and two cool ass dudes made that enjoyable.
MORE! This is not only a great example of control, it covers a wide range of actions. Really love these spellslinger vids, keep em coming! It resolves!
I don't hate blue as a color but when you combine it with black it makes you want to flip a table after 3 turns
CaptainTalon448 Blue is horrible because my brother thought it was a great idea to put 2x mindrot in his deck. It's a spell that makes target player discards 2 cards. BS. Of course then there is also the other 2 cards that make you discard the top 5 cards and top 8 cards of your library. absolute bs.
CaptainTalon448 I play blue/black and it's such fun...but all my opponents hate me.
CaptainTalon448 See, Blue/Black is slow and grindy... But not nearly as Blue/Red.
Martin Ipsen Blue is awesome, i have 4 cards in my deck that makes the opponent discard the top 5 cards of his or her library and it only cost one island but its super fun to hold them in your hand and just use all those islands you have to make them discard 20 cards total and use Ludevics test subject to finish them off :)
camille bell Nice! Have you ever heard of a card Ludevics Test subject? its so fun to use and your opponents flips the table once its true glory is activated.
Still my favorite episode of Spellslingers!!
GO DIMIR!!!!
+Xhinope Screw you, blue player!
Blue ftw
Can you guys start including deck lists? That U/B Control deck looks sick.
I'm hoping for one too
Deokflsa look up blue black demonic pact
Such a wonderful episode. One of my favorite parts about this show is that it includes every turn, no cutting for time.
That smile at 22:03 had me rolling on the floor laughing.
Learning and playing magic was on my bucket list after watching your show. I am 57 years with terminal cancer. Watching your show taught me how to play Magic and now my son game every day. Thank you for making my life just a little brighter in the time I have left. I don't want anything from you I just wanted you to know you made a difference.
Chris's deck was awesome! Maybe a future deck tech or just a plain link to the cards in the deck? Love the show keep it up!
This needs to be a 2x a week show! It's too good to make us wait so long in between episodes!
Even Spellslingers are not free of the abomination known as the Siege Rhino, oh woe us.
98masurus now with 5 year old drawing art...
soulblacknight As soon as I heard Abzan the PTSD kicked in.
soulblacknight Leave Kev Walker alone! Leave him alone! I'm serious!
soulblacknight "Drawing art," as opposed to "art" or "drawing."
But I love that rhino
I am so glad to see that they are willing to tackle some more complex decks with people who know how. This is a great series, I think, for people not familiar with the game their normal routine is great but its nice for those of us who are familiar with the game to see some more complex tactics used every so often as well!
Did you enjoy the episode? ...sure...
David Peveto sure...
David Peveto sure..
David Peveto Sure.
David Peveto It resolves.
Ichthyodactyl Sure.
I still remember this episode to this day. Sure
This one was by far the most entertaining show out of all of these very entertaining shows on Geek and Sundry. Might have even outdone Table Top's Cards of Humanity episode. Good job!
Sure....
Probably the best episode of this series!
Please, I need more of this show in my life :(
I've believed, for a while now, that Blue-Black was my style of play.
This just confirmed it! :D
I've seen this so many times and it just gets better everytime. SPELLSLINGERS BACK with Chris Kluwe as the first guest!!
Plz plz plz plz bring this show back!!!
This video was perfect length. I was able to enjoy the whole thing before work. I happen to find it and watch it when I had 25 minutes before work. Was quite enjoyable. I'm glad I noticed it. Made me want to get back into the game. Been playing Magic Duels, etc. but they aren't the same as playing against a person with physical cards.
Request! Any chance of getting a card list of the blue/black deck? I'd kinda heart getting to take a look at it.
Great episode! Chris was a great guest, personable, funny, and explaining each step of what he was doing. I enjoy watching episodes with those who know how to play the game well.
I forsee a T-shirt with the lines "Sure. Sure. Sure. It resolves" on the G&S store sometime in the future!
Alyindar maybe next to "5 gold and a party"
So glad to see you play more complex and powerful decks! Hope you keep it up
Please do more spellslingers!!!!!!!!!!!
Great episode. Sean and this show has opened the world of magic to me and I am enjoying the ride so far. Keep up the great work everyone.
Funniest part is, this is what made me start to play blue.
Can I just say how well this episode was edited? Man the timing on this guy was killer.
At the Pre-Release I did the Two-Headed Giant event. My partner cast Demonic Pact, and we had a 15/15 Managorger Hydra with our opponents at 5 life. On our upkeep he picked the you lose the game option.
it was round 5, we had 1 win. Our opponents still marked it as a win for us. But ya, jerk move.
Cory Visser If by "jerk move" you mean "cool move."
LOL.
this is the best game so far that I've seen, dude actually knows what he's doing
Video description refers to Alison in the second paragraph because it's a copy-paste from previous video, so you know!
Craig Cainkar nice catch.
Craig Cainkar That's a super weird mistake.
Craig Cainkar sure
Sure
Craig Cainkar Shame to Geek & Sundry's team! They should have known better!
That look on Sean's face when Chris plays the second Demonic Pact! That could be a Poster moment.
Even though Blue/Black is pretty cool... my absolute favorite is Blue/Red, it really makes you think about every turn you make and the synergy between spells and creatures is amazing... like most other decks it's not about just putting creatures on the board.
The decks I really hate though are the life gaining ones... it's pure stalling without anything happening, really boring.
Best episode yet. I hope we get to see more higher level players with interesting decks in the future.
Spellslingers made me interested in magic
This episode made me decide to never play magic
Youre an absolute loser for not playing tho and on top of that youre missing out big time buddy ;)
Honestly. I love these so much. You need to do this every new set.
This was such a fun game to watch. XD
Angelina Matthews "Removal..." "counter" "removal" "threat" "mass removal" "counter"... Looks like every other game that includes Blue. Permission is as fun to watch as paint drying. And it's even less fun to play against.

Also, THANK YOU for NOT dumbing the advanced players down!
I do like how the power level of the deck was a lot higher this episode... Well... not for Day9 lol
This has been my favorite episode so far. Bravo!
It's a well known fact that Blue players don't deserve to play Magic!
But then again, neither do our opponents!
As a more experienced MtG player, this was definitely the most interesting episode so far. Seeing some of the new cards was cool and Chris Kluwe was entertaining to watch face stomp Sean.
Loved this match with two experienced players. At around 17:00 when Chris uses Languish followed by Disperse to return his Demonic Pact to hand, he (possibly for the edit) missed a better play? If he intended to Disperse on his turn while Sean had no cards and was tapped out, had he Dispersed first, followed by tapping Jace to draw and then discard a card, he could have flipped his Jace before wiping most of the board with Languish.
My favourite episode of my favourite G&S series. That may or not be because I have the heart (or lack thereof...) of a blue mana Planeswalker.
Any chance of a list of the u/b deck. Looks sweet!
That was so much fun to watch, the both Sean and Chris were reacting was absolutely hysterical
I have a question about 15:29. Before languish resolves, can't he use disperse and Jace's tap to have 5 cards in graveyard to them flip Jace before Languish?
Ya, chris talked about that mistake on reddit, but it would have made him win just a little faster.
Kurt Horsting welp, can't fix that now
I think he draw it from the triggered ability of the 6/6 after resolving languish
I love dimir control. and that was awesome to watch with actually relatively viable standard decks! More like this!
I'm so freaking happy that the decks aren't complete trash anymore. The decks are so much cooler when they are constructed with good cards. Yay!
Great episode! That is the first time I've had a chance to see Demonic Pact actually played. When it was spoiled I thought it was super cool, great seeing it used so effectively.
that would be hilarious if Sean won from the Dimonic pact making Chris lose the game
This is another example of why I am one of those terrible people who like both Blue and Black. I aspire to have as much fun playing MTG as Chris Kluwe.
My hatred for blue is intensified even more.
I think this was the best episode of the show to date. Experienced players make Sean turn up his game a bit (even though there wasn't much more he could have done with his hand in this game) and make it very entertaining to watch. The decks they played were fantastically built and the interaction between Sean and Chris was on point. Not to mention, seeing the card Sean needed was his next draw was icing on the cake.
Also Sean, Dromoka is a "she"
Philip Tree Sure
He's also chubby now.
Philip Tree Who. Fucking. Cares.
Philosjutsu i do i identify as a dromoka scalelord you sexist
Philosjutsu People who care care. I care. Sorry you're so insensitive.
this one is my personal favourite episode of spellslingers. hopefully there will be many more!
Super fun guys! Thanks for playing with Demonic Pact!!!!
God that made the blue player in me SO FUCKING HAPPY.
Uuuuugggghhhhhhhhhhh yeeeesssssssssssssssssss.
I am currently in the process of constructing a Blue/Black deck and could not be happier with this episode.
need deck build lists for each episode please
Here you go: geekandsundry.com/spellslingers-deck-recap-day9-vs-chris-kluwe/
I love the evil-possibly-plotting-world-destruction laugh Kluwe's got going on this ENTIRE EPISODE.
Sure.
The "sure" thing is SO true. That made me chuckle
Such major misplays! "Sure" cannot resolve, EVER, the effect of "Sure" reads "Your opponent counters with "Sure" and when your opponent counters you counter their counter with effect of "Sure" creating an endless loop of "Sure"s, "Sure" never resolves, such scrubbery!!!
Hands down the best episode you guys have done. Was hilarious and full of entertaining stuff going on. He has to come back for a rematch next aeason
The smile at 22:03 cracks me up! That's the exact look my wife or I give each other when we're playing Magic in similar circumstances.
i want that blue black deck list lol
I prefer my black red one personally lol
Best episode I've seen. Rematch!
sure sure sure
You guys had off the charts chemistry, hilarious banter and great games!
All the dislikes are either people who haven't learned how to counter a black/blue control deck...or Sean Plott and his alt accounts.
Colonel Dookie But how would you counter a black/blue deck? (Not a Magic player here)
Snowcube94 Concede and go get ice cream.
Serious though you counter with a highly aggressive deck with lots of cheap fast creatures and some burn or your own removal for there few creatures, burn being in this case the better option as you can throw it at there face (think like the pacts ability to do 4 damage to a player or creature is what burn is but it comes from red primarily)
Snowcube94 Basically what pervavita said...green deck for lots of cheap summons early on and red deck for lots of burning. Those decks can be built alternatively, but to specifically counter blue/black, people usually build a red/green deck.

Calvin Krlich sure
One of my favorite episodes by far. I love seeing legitimate decks on this.
You're not a blue player unless you can perfect that evil, shit-eating grin. :)
