Gotta wonder why Chris wasn't putting the Jitte on any of the creatures he was swinging with, thereby gaining counters that he could have remove for life to save himself.
A lot of people are questioning why Chris didn't go for the Godo combo... Considering his plays in the first main phase, especially dropping Helm of the Host first, it's a safe assumption that he drew Godo during combat, from Akiri's triggers. Otherwise, he would've probably gone for the combo.
Seriously, I was screaming at the screen. Shadowspear, Batterskull, Loxodon Warhammer? It's hard to imagine an equipment deck not running at least one of those.
@@corhydrae3238 I just put together my own Akiri list, and I at least have Shadowspear and Basilisk Collar to give lifelink options. I was also surprised that he didn't have something like Settle the Wreckage to grab off of Sunforger to stop that big attack.
Why does Derek put his Nissa into the graveyard after using her ultimate (@ 16:03)? Shouldn't she come in with 10 loyalty due to doubling season and then still have 2 loyalty left over after using her - 8?
Slight misplay during Chris's attack on turn 8: he was supposed to draw only two cards instead of three. Akiri will trigger once for each player being attacked, regardless of how many equipped creatures are attacking that player.
Hello! I know this s random but I can’t find an answer online. If I play my commander for the mutate cost, and it dies, does the mutate cost have 2 more cost, or is it like Yuriko?
the next time you cast it will cost 2 more yeah (whether next time its mutating or not) this is because mutate casts the creature and ninjutsu puts yuriko into play without casting
I am currently ordering the cards to upgrade Obuun into my first commander deck. Seeing many of the same cards I picked play out so well is very encouraging .
For leviathan decks, Simic and sultai are much better colors due to ramp. My Arixmethes decks wins rather consistently thanks in part to the big mana it generates, with the commander to boot (plus helps when you have a few infinite mana generators). But I really liked the dimir attempt, and I'd love to do a Simic sea monster deck that incorporates the best of both (or all 3) world's of leviathans, krakens, squids, whales, and whatever other sort of monsters fit in (mostly stuff that isn't bounced by that one card from Theros that hits everything but most sea creatures).
How did you feel about the Genju in the Obuun deck? Trying to figure out whether to go the land animation route or general landfall theme for upgrading the deck
I like how peaceful the music was. A suggestion have peaceful music and switch to metal when the 4th player in turn or rips a sol ring if no one else has one. But Chris had the sol ring opening hand
Chris did have both Godo and Helm of the Host. Why didn't he try to get infinite combat steps this way? He had so much mana that he probably even had Sunforger backup.
It might not have changed the game end by much but Nissa who shakes the world starts with 5 (doubled to 10) loyalty, so after ulting (-8) she'd have 2 loyalty left and still on the battlefield and not put into the graveyard
Am I the only one that doesn't mind the missplays im sure there is missplays every game I've ever played in and it adds an extra realism to the game called humor human error
There is an interaction that I didn't understand. Derek cast doubling season followed by Nissa who shakes the world. The planeswalker would have 10 loyalty counters for the minus 8 so remaining 2 Loyalty counters: why did she was put in the graveyard? Did I miss something?
Hey, just a quick question : I know stax is a theme that ont everyone likes to see in EDH, but I was looking for ideas and ... I don't seem to find any video with such a deck in your recent videos. Did I miss one or is it that the people you usually play with don't like it ? ^^
You don't see Stax very often in casual games like the ones from this channel... you'll find it more often in cEDH games. I recommend the following channels for cEDH: Playing with Power MTG, Casually Competitive MTG and SplitSecond.
Wouldn't Andrew have needed 3 more Mana to target the pursued whale with that curse? Also, chris double blocked original dockside, but not only didn't it die but Chris also took one. Did I miss something?
Is it just me, having mistaken somesthing or why didn't akiri win? Chris had Godo and helm on the board, and had the chance to remove the colossus. So Godo and helm combo and win. Am i right?
I assume because it’s cheap and unique. You can get a couple of U lords to buff him but doesn’t draw as much hate as Shu Yun. Speaking of which, I think I should build a cheap Shu Yun deck...
I love the new akiri, ngl It is better than the original for doing the weird "go wide" strat that boros equipment seems to like. That being said, original akiri is still just...alot
If you had multiple akiri's though, say through helm of the host, you draw for each instance of the triggered ability. The cool things MTGO helps you realize :D
"Whenever you attack a player with one or more equipped creatures, draw a card." The key sentence here is "attack a player" - Akiri will trigger for each different player you attack in that combat, so you can draw more than one card if you attack multiple opponents.
Gatherer rulings: "Akiri’s first ability has you draw just **one card per player** you attack with an equipped creature, no matter how many equipped creatures you attack them with beyond the first and no matter how many Equipment that creature’s carrying beyond the first."

12:15 Thanks for choosing my sleeve for Elesh Norn! :D
It's a fantastic alter! The whole group loved it.
That dig at Tomer not being able to assemble Kaldra was hilarious!
Chris is the true winner of this game in my book, just because he assembled Kaldra. :D
Me too thanks flavour win
7:05
"Discarding down to 7"
Words I never thought I'd hear referring to a Boros deck
Easy, just get mana screwed!
5:37 Curse of the Swine should've cost 3 more because of the Pursued Whale.
Really fun game, though!
Gotta wonder why Chris wasn't putting the Jitte on any of the creatures he was swinging with, thereby gaining counters that he could have remove for life to save himself.
I love the fact that when someone is using an Alter Sleeve card you put it up on the screen with the altered art!!! Absolutely beautiful!
Not that it matters, but Wash Out bounces all permanents of chosen color, not only creatures.
A lot of people are questioning why Chris didn't go for the Godo combo...
Considering his plays in the first main phase, especially dropping Helm of the Host first, it's a safe assumption that he drew Godo during combat, from Akiri's triggers. Otherwise, he would've probably gone for the combo.
I liked the music. It added a sense of dread, almost as if the game new it was going to end dramatically
These decks seemed to be slightly less aggressively competitive than usual and I’d like to see more decks like this, this game was fun to watch!
I'm sorry but dockside with a helm and a blade? Seriously? Everyone thought that was fine? Lol
I think he also played Godo after playing greaves, and a helm with a bunch of treasure. I feel like I missed something.
@@erik.pajula he could of won
Does Chris not have any lifelink equipment? Like he was at 1 life for multiple turns, and had multiple tutors available O.o
Seriously, I was screaming at the screen. Shadowspear, Batterskull, Loxodon Warhammer? It's hard to imagine an equipment deck not running at least one of those.
He had a Jitte for multiple turns without attacking with it. Not lifelink but it can gain some decent life over several turns
@@corhydrae3238 I just put together my own Akiri list, and I at least have Shadowspear and Basilisk Collar to give lifelink options. I was also surprised that he didn't have something like Settle the Wreckage to grab off of Sunforger to stop that big attack.
@@DigimonFan814 I haven't thought about Settle the Wreckage for my Sunforger. Thanks for the idea.
Why does Derek put his Nissa into the graveyard after using her ultimate (@ 16:03)? Shouldn't she come in with 10 loyalty due to doubling season and then still have 2 loyalty left over after using her - 8?
It was a mistake on Derek's part. She should have still been around.
Muddstah's crew doesn't read their own cards!
@@faerie7dragon I think you're being very kind in even assuming we can read!
@@MTGMuddstah We know most missplays aren't intentional.
That colossus's back must hurt for carrying the team so hard, nice game overall!
Slight misplay during Chris's attack on turn 8: he was supposed to draw only two cards instead of three.
Akiri will trigger once for each player being attacked, regardless of how many equipped creatures are attacking that player.
That music, tied in with your voice, made this feel like a retelling of a Japanese battle rather than a magic duel
Love the ost you used in the vid!
"...and doing what Tomer never could..." Thanks, Muddstah, hahahahahaha.
I'll give the guy with double mana half his deck into his hand, cuz ya know damage
12:57 solid burn
Chris needs life gain equip don’t know why he would sit on one life with all that tutor he has in akiri
In love with Chris deck! Seens fun to play with.
I love that game! Assembling Kaldra, playing Krakens, new Commanders... it has it all
Akiri looked great this game.
FUN!
Edit:"this was filmed in a garage!" in the description literally made me laugh out loud.
Been wanting some new Akiri gameplay! thanks for the great content! :)
12:50
Never before have I ever heard a burn so devastating. You mad land.
Hello! I know this s random but I can’t find an answer online. If I play my commander for the mutate cost, and it dies, does the mutate cost have 2 more cost, or is it like Yuriko?
I believe you still add the commander Tax since mutate is an alternate casting cost, vs Yurikos ninjitsu, which is unaffected since it’s an ability
the next time you cast it will cost 2 more yeah (whether next time its mutating or not) this is because mutate casts the creature and ninjutsu puts yuriko into play without casting
Ok, thanks! So if I cast the mutate cost twice, if I play the normal cost, it will still cost 6 more?
@@YaminoOkami833 correct. The ability explicitly says 'cast', so it is an alternative cost and therefore commander tax applies.
You add tax because you still cast it. Yuriko is an activated ability
I am currently ordering the cards to upgrade Obuun into my first commander deck. Seeing many of the same cards I picked play out so well is very encouraging .
OH that Blade of Selves attached to the Dockside Extortionist play is spicy, I tip my hat to you, Mr. Fellow Equipment Enjoyer.
This game shows why when a Galecaster hits the field you either kill it on sight or kill the player controlling it.
Tapped Equipments trigger me, especially after untaping it after the unattachment :D
For leviathan decks, Simic and sultai are much better colors due to ramp. My Arixmethes decks wins rather consistently thanks in part to the big mana it generates, with the commander to boot (plus helps when you have a few infinite mana generators).

The new 2 drop boros creature in commander legends that gives double strike to equipped creatures will push Akiri even further! Great game.
That's a good looking Elesh Norn!
Just played against the Obuun precon and it absolutely surprised me. I very well might have to build that deck now.
Chris did have both Godo and Helm of the Host. Why didn't he try to get infinite combat steps this way? He had so much mana that he probably even had Sunforger backup.
He probably drew Godo during that combat.
Oh I felt that, doing what Tomer never could assembling kaldra !
Actually he did
5:46, wouldn’t curse of the swine cost 3 more to cast cause it targets the whale?
Hahahah the shade at Tomer
16:10 Why did he put Nissa into the graveyard? She came in with 10 counters, so using her ult would put her to two
I like mark his deck. It's just big fishes!
On a side note: that land deck is awesome. It's something i still haven't managed to build.
What is that elesh norn art it looks so good! Why have I never seen it?
When you said, "activates the stoneforger" I realized how confusing it is to have both Stoneforge Mystic and Sunforger on the battlefield
mistform, Andrew it's here playing mono blue a miss study
The sombre music made me sad. The dig at Tomer and Kaldra made me happy.
Is there a list for Chris' deck?
It might not have changed the game end by much but Nissa who shakes the world starts with 5 (doubled to 10) loyalty, so after ulting (-8) she'd have 2 loyalty left and still on the battlefield and not put into the graveyard
I just built an Obuun deck about 10 minutes before seeing this!
Please tell me there are decklists for the Wrexial and Urbann decks! Id love to pick them apart because that was some great gameplay to watch!
They're in the video description, yep!
@@MTGMuddstah That's awesome! Thanks 👍😊
comfy sweater and music day ?
Really thought Mark was gonna be Kingmaker in this, great match
The dunk on Tomer 💯/💯
Am I the only one that doesn't mind the missplays im sure there is missplays every game I've ever played in and it adds an extra realism to the game called humor human error
Ah yes, my favorite precon commander, Mistform
There is an interaction that I didn't understand. Derek cast doubling season followed by Nissa who shakes the world. The planeswalker would have 10 loyalty counters for the minus 8 so remaining 2 Loyalty counters: why did she was put in the graveyard? Did I miss something?

I believe washout bounces all permanents of a chosen color instead of all creatures
Aiming a peer into the abyss at somebody without an additional way to kill them always feels like a mistake.
nissa who shakes the world should not have been put in the graveyard after her ultimate, because she had 2 loyalty left.
yes
and the worst is that that one might have mattered since the forest would tap for 1 more
Boros did work. Also, don't make deals with blue players lol
Cool game mates!
using curse of the swine on a land instead of on the dockside (while knowing the blade is in his hand). that just kinda seemed to backfire fast :/
let's call it what it was: A fucking dumb, dumb move.
Is it just me, having mistaken somesthing or why didn't akiri win? Chris had Godo and helm on the board, and had the chance to remove the colossus. So Godo and helm combo and win. Am i right?
He probably drew Godo during that combat.
This game was awesome O.O
No shadowspear or batterskull on Akiri? Some Lifelink would have done so much work. Maybe.
Shadowspear should be an auto include in any equipment deck.
@@jeffnorris211 Batterskull is really good in Akiri too, since the germ will draw you cards, Stoneforge Mystic loves it.
Or Basilisk Collar. I'm running it plus Shadowspear as lifelink options in my Akiri list.
9:32 : I guess he did this because... of reasons 😎
Prediction: Mistform takes the win again
My predictions came true every game I've watched which featured mistform it won.
Stabby Crabby is my new favorite thing
Should've bounced the dockside extortionist with your galecaster colossus. :l
Does anyone know why muddsta loves his mistform? Cuz it seems like a ok voltron deck
I assume because it’s cheap and unique. You can get a couple of U lords to buff him but doesn’t draw as much hate as Shu Yun.
Speaking of which, I think I should build a cheap Shu Yun deck...
Kaldra assembled = auto-upvote regardless of outcome
He went out first but won in spirit.
How can he clamp a pirate token when they leave at end of combat at 7 minutes
They are token creatures that were created by the whale... they make all creatures they control attack
@@cameronbyers7335 okay i thought he was doing it to a dockside token. Thx
You only needed to bring 1 equipment with lifelink Chris..... Just 1 Equipment with Lifelink.......
Just was wondering why didn't Cris put the helm on godo and win the game instant
He probably drew Godo during that combat.
This doesnt affect the game but wash out is for all permanents not just creatures
I love the new akiri, ngl
It is better than the original for doing the weird "go wide" strat that boros equipment seems to like. That being said, original akiri is still just...alot
Chris where the hell is your loxodon warhammer!
Wait!!!! U can cast c.rift without overload!?!!?!!? O.o
You'd be surprised by how many people have done this to stop a combo in an emergency...
Don't understand why Chris didn't just win with Godo, Helm, Sunforger and a billion treasures out
Galecaster Colossus. Also, he probably just drew Godo during combat.
Curse of the Swine? Don't you mean...
Hamnation
Wrath of Hog
Mass Piggymorph
or
American Police Department?
Hahaha I love it when people pick on Tomer. He deserves it.
No loxodon warhammer on an equipment deck?? Shame that would had won him the game....
Yoooooo why you shit on Tomer like that?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha tomer can never get kaldra !!! I was hoping the dimir deck got the win 🙏
Ah, mono blue wins the day :)
Idk why but this music sounds more depressing than usual lol
I hope tomer watches this one
Why did Derek put Nissa into his graveyard? She enters on 10 loyalty due to Doubling Season and only goes down -8, she should have still been in play
You should start calling Nissa “Nissan”
Stabby-crabby
XDXDXDXDXD
Knee-sa
I don't like the music not engaging enough
Chris made me so mad with no lifelink equip or life gain instant. Made 0 sense, most commanding lead, wasted.
You only draw one card from aikri, it's one or more not each
If you had multiple akiri's though, say through helm of the host, you draw for each instance of the triggered ability. The cool things MTGO helps you realize :D
Good to know! I'll let Chris know moving forward.
Wow I've been watching for years and FINALLY I got a liked comment AND a response!? Thank you for making my day!!
"Whenever you attack a player with one or more equipped creatures, draw a card."
