    Shea could have gotten a little bit more value out of reconnaissance: There is an end-of-combat-step after damage is dealt, where you can use reconnaissance to untap all creatures that have attacked this turn. So recoinnassance grants some kind of pseudo-vigilance. I love this card!

      Yeah I was wondering why she didn't untap everything after her first attack with reconnaissance out.

  • @DevoidGoat
    @DevoidGoat Год назад +28

    Do The reconnaissance trick Shea!!. You can pull your attackers out of combat after damage is dealt. This is because theres a step after damage called the "end of combat step" and they are still considered attacking in that step. Reconnaissance is essentially vigilance 😂
    Great game doh 🎉

    At 36:24 because of how Reconnaissance is worded you can actually untap Aurelia during the end of combat step, after damage has been dealt!

    • @werevamp
      @werevamp Год назад +2

      Seems like they immediately forgot it was there. At 17:00 right after its played CGB discusses blocking but decides not to because it would kill the humans, when the intended purpose of Reconnaissance would let her just remove them from combat safely.

    Fun game. As it has already been said, Aurelia has vigilance. So she shouldn't have been tapped. On another note; the tokens from the first combat shouldn't have been able to attack during the second combat since they didn't have haste. 🤫

    If anyone is curious where the fairy from the 16:20 spell went, Alela only gives a fairy for the first spell each turn, not each spell cast on opponent's turns. It'd be awesome if it was the latter but it really makes for interesting gameplay and way of thinking.

    32:07 Alela did not die; she was reanimated via Whip of Erebos, which replaces leaving the battlefield to anywhere except exile to exile. This would not have triggered Ben’s Meathook Massacre.
    36:02 The two Human tokens that just entered the battlefield in the first combat phase can’t attack as they do not have haste.
    36:28 Aurelia has vigilance so she doesn’t need to be untapped via Reconnaissance. In fact, Shea could have been giving all of her attackers pseudo-vigilance by removing them from combat in the combat damage step or the end of combat step.
    41:14 Phasing out Hostage Taker doesn’t stop Ben from stealing The One Ring. HT specifically cares about leaving the battlefield, and phasing out does not mean the object changed zones (CR702.26d).
    46:28 Blake could have created near-infinite Squirrels via the Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest combo with his remaining Pegasus token in CGB’s end step. It didn’t matter in the end, but it could have… 😂

      @myhairismessy3363 Год назад +2

      @@LucasRoth42 As I mentioned, CGB reanimated Alela from the graveyard with Whip of Erebos's activated ability. Here's the relevant text from Whip: If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else.
      Even though CGB sacrificed Alela with Phyrexian Tower, the Whip's replacement effect moved Alela to exile instead of the graveyard. "Dies" is a shortcut that means "put into a graveyard from the battlefield" (CR700.4).
      So Alela did not die (be put into a graveyard from the battlefield) and was exiled instead. Thus Ben's Meathook Massacre would not have triggered.

    40:51 Does hostage taker not exile the one ring if it's phased out?? I believe it does and maybe it stays exiled permanently, but i'm not sure.

    • @isaiahwelch8066
      @isaiahwelch8066 Год назад

      Actually, if something is "phased out," it's treated as though it doesn't exist.
      Thus, Hostage Taker isn't there to put The One Ring under, when it's ETB resolves, so The One Ring never changes control.
      This is different than the separate ETB and LTB triggers of Oblivion Ring, for example. Those triggers, like the trigger from Hostage Taker, have to see both the originator of the effect, and the target of the effect, in order to resolve.

    • @isaiahwelch8066
      @isaiahwelch8066 Год назад

      ​​@exsnypre: Not true.
      First, if something is exiled or destroyed, LTBs will trigger and resolve -- which is why if you cast and resolve Oblivion Ring, the O-Ring's ETB will go on the stack, and wait to resolve if you blink or destroy the O-Ring. When that happens, O-Ring's LTB trigger will go on the stack, _on top of_ the ETB -- thus, the LTB trigger resolves first, giving nothing back, and then the ETB trigger resolves, permanently exiling the original target.
      Phasing doesn't trigger ETB or LTB effects.

    • @seanscott4543
      @seanscott4543 Год назад +1

      To answer the question, the relevant rule is 702.26d in the comprehensive rules - "The phasing event doesn't actually cause a permanent to change zones or control, even though it's treated as though it's not on the battlefield and not under its controller's control while it's phased out. Zone-change triggers don't trigger when a permanent phases in or out."
      Hostage taker is still considered to be on the battlefield for the purpose of its etb, so The One Ring should be exiled and Ben should be able to cast it as normal.

    • @VFernandezVega
      @VFernandezVega Год назад

      As far as i know, because the Hostage taker is fased out with the trigger on the stack, the one ring will go to exile, but due to the hability to cast it being in the hostage taker, and not being given to the card in exile, Ben would not be able to play the one ring till the hostage taker phase in.

  • @Brownieman32

    • @sh4dow666
      @sh4dow666 Год назад

      Interesting question. If it was killed, the "until it leaves the battlefield" wording would mean it won't get exiles at all, but with phase out it never leaves, so the ring should still get exiled.

    I just bought the fae dominion precon, did a slight upgrade on it. And mainly using Alela as the commander.
    But does her goading last as long as she is in the battlefield? Or it’s only active until the next turn?
    Example, player B’s creature A is goaded. Does it gets goaded until the end of his turn only? Or he gets goaded every turn as long as Alela is on the battlefield?
