Joey and Shivam are so lovely. Joey is helping everyone with their triggers and reminding them of their options, Shivam is just so happy about everything in a wholesome friendly way, it’s all so sweet
I'm in the middle of the episode and I want to say three things: 1) This is an awesome game, everyone seems to be doing what the deck intends to do, and it's mostly because of the card draw engines. 2) The Baba Lysaga deck is terrifying 3) I don't think I've ever seen anyone enjoy a game of commander as much as Shivam does. Every time I see him play, he's the giddiest, happiest and most wholesome commander player I've ever seen. If I could, I'd invite him to every game I ever play for the rest of time. He's a great fit for the CAG because he really understands that this game should be fun.
Joey's plan of reincarnating his Commander with different art each time he cast it is *chefs kiss* Definitely stealing that for my commanders who have several different versions.
Yay! Joey talked up his Baba deck and I am excited to see this play out. And Shivam trying something new (welcome to the dark side!) is cool too. Spellslinger is my absolute favorite type of deck, hopefully it goes well. Edit: Shivam definitely lived the Izzet dream and everyone else's nightmare.
Small rules correction on Neera: her ability is a may, but “triggers only once each turn” means that once she sees a spell cast, whether or not you choose to put it on the bottom, you do not get another trigger that turn from that instance of Neera. I’m not trying to nitpick because it’s definitely easy to miss, but it can be very important at more competitive tables so I thought it was worth mentioning!
@@shivambhatt8380 happy to help! Also can I just say how much I enjoy seeing you in the commander content I watch? I really appreciate your enthusiasm for the game, especially as a fellow creature deck player!
Welcome, Shivam, to the wonders of playing Storm. Hardcasting Omniscience is one HELL of a drug. As a storm player, I don't blame you for taking super long and missing a billion triggers, sequencing is really hard, especially when you've got all those chonky cards and wheels and all the other intricacies of playing the archetype. Going through it all with as many triggers as you had going is an extra layer of challenge on top of an already overwhelming board state, ESPECIALLY as a first-timer. However, now you see why we do it, because going through those epic sequences is Magic at its finest. Amazing episode, and watching Shivam storm off made me insanely jealous. His giddiness in playing all of those big stupid wonderful spells all at once was a true delight.
Listening to the joy in Shivam's voice as he discovers the decks ability is a pleasure to watch. Oliva, thank you for aiding and abeding Shivam go off Joey i keep wanting to sing baby lasagna to the song baby shark this is a problem Aliey tuvasa is awesome flickering ward will draw an extra card every turn
Small correction on Instill Energy, the fifth edition (the one Joey is using) is the latest paper printing which appears to give haste, but the magic online version and the current oracle text has reverted it to the original "can attack as though it had haste" meaning it does not allow for tap abilities on summoning sick creatures. Still a fantastic card for Baba Lysaga (in my own version of the deck), just wanted to spread the news if possible (maybe WOTC will update to the more common understanding someday)
"Bullshitting around a table with friends, cards are involved." Is the best way to play magic. Its like D&D, but with less homework. EDHJ basically became my go to watch immediately. Olivia and Eilidh together is just this this charisma hurricane decimating all other edh shows in its wake. This particular pod was on fire. Shivam and Joey are just precious.
I'm fairly certain Shivam had the win when he initially popped off with Omniscience but either way that deck was insane and hilarious and that game was a blast to watch
Great work guys. I love Joey on his podcast and he is always so much fun to watch and Shivam's energy and enthusiasm are great to watch, plus the interplay between Alias and Olivia is hilarious.
Great episode as always! Shivams pop off was bittersweet as whiles I was happy for him I know how it can feel to be against that.. Obvi was his first time playing this and the deck did very well! It's just fair to say that it could do with finishers and or haste enablers to speed up possible victories, so games don't descend into solitaire mode. But that aside gg to all and ngl it was SUPER satisfying to see Olivia come out on top at the end. (no offence to Shivam but can't help but root for the underdogs in a sitch like this) And honestly I LOVE grouphug so to see it win against something like that! EVEN better.
Have been wanting to see Joey and Shivam's decks for ages and it gave me life to see all the joy Shivam had at seeing his deck go off. Always great to see players so happy when they get to do the thi g they want.
Your comments that point out errors need to calm down. 😂 Edited, this is almost a two hour video and one of you even said you had been playing for 3 hours. Stuff gets missed in a regular game already. I can't imagine trying to keep up over a spelltable game. Plus, this is a casual game with friends. I really enjoyed this video, missed triggers and all. ❤
I love Neera and this episode was amazing. Welcome to the dark, fun and forbidden side of magic, Shivam! I did wonder why Olivia blew up niv-mizzet instead of Omniscience, but figured she forgot it can target anything in the moment, which is totally fair. Thanks for the amazing game to watch!!
Joey YES, YES (but also, no)! Titania is not Magali Villenueve's best art imo, but she is BY FAR my favorite artist!!!! And you blew my mind away when u gave Blinkmoth Nexus 3 diff card types and triggered Baby Lasagna by saccing only a single permanent!! Also, even if it got out of control, I'm glad I got to see someone play Neera and get dope stuff out at random (I like her art as well)! Plus, it was fun to see Liv take the W with Halo Fountain after Shivam hurt himself in the confusion! 😅
Shivam is a great guy, finally playing Blue and kills it. Very entertaining dad kinda way, love it. Joey is equally entertaining with his dad jokes and very fun deck. Eilidh, I loved seeing your 0/1 if only for a bit. Love your energy as always. Been a while since I watched an episode due to time constraints. Have a few left.
As a Tuvasa and Sythis player I really enjoyed seeing her in action. Thanks Eilidh. One thing I’ve learned about enchantments is the more cantrips the better, especially with flickering ward and mana bloom to keep replaying every turn. You become arch enemy real quickly, so most of my blue is counters with Tuvasa.
It is so nice to see the level of fun and excitement happening during this game! I love it when I play some thing out of my comfort zone and it works so well
This channel was a joy to stumble upon! I dig the hosts and their guests - another nice showing by some whacky decks! Also... Olivia @35:12 (goes precisely with the tempo of the background music) ROFL! Keep it up y'all!
Wow, it is so nice to see Neera. She is such an underused commander, but she is funny as hell. I was expecting Grapeshot for a million damage. And pitty that there wasn't Displacer Kitten on the table blinking Neera for more her triggers and more chaos. Still great funny deck though.
So much fun to watch! And I'm glad to see someone play Gluntch/Baba Lysaga, I liked them when they came out but wasn't sure what they could do/if they were any good.
lol Shivam: “I’m going to miss so many triggers!” sounds like me with my krark/shima deck oh boy there are many triggers in that deck. glad to see you tried something new and had fun with it as well, after all thats what commander is all about having fun with friends and laughing at all the mishaps =3
I loved this episode. So many triggers and ridiculousness! I'm sure shivam had the win there somewhere but either way, it was fun to watch someone play blue like I do, with many, "oh yeah, and this trigger I forgot". Good fun
Just converted my Dina deck into a Baba deck as it was getting a bit stale. It's soooooo much fun to play. I totally was sleeping on this when it came out.
Love Tuvasa. I call my deck “Bantress.” One thing about her that often gets overlooked is that she triggers EACH turn, so I run Leyline of Anticipation and some other flash-enablers.
I love Neera, I just made a deck for her recently. Shivam, you piloted it pretty well for the first time. And seeing it pop off is amazing. Yes, a lot of misplays and missed triggers but its still fun. And the table hand fun with it!
If you two had a podcast, I'd listen to it every chance I'd get while out here on the road. Bleep counter to come later. Video posted just as I was getting lunch before starting a late day. EDIT: Bleep counter = 6.
Theoretically with echo of eon's Shivam can play and get back burn and draw effects repeatedly through the burn and Niv-mizzet triggers because you can cast everything for free through omniscience and kill the table that way. There was definitely a win on board for Shivam before he passed that turn. May also be good to have a grapeshot in the deck for these insane storm turns because it can help close out games and is a great low cost card to wheel away off of Neera if you don't want it at the time.
I often times wish you peeps did this in person like game knights. I also remember that the amount of gameplay content you awesome peeps drop shows how much you care about your community and its just pretty epic to see 😊
i built myself a neera deck when she came out and I have so much fun with her ^^. The last game with her I won by displacer-kitten a red dragon again and again and again :D. That deck can be so fun :) ! Edit: yeah to keep all the triggers in mind is worth a doctorate :D .. But the deck rocks :D
There should be a Shivam should do a holiday album. It is great to see all of you putting in the hours, and hopefully real soon you guys can take a vacation. I have such a great time not only watching you, but also getting inspired for future deck, or seeing new(to me at least) interactions. Keep up the great work.
A note for posterity: Neera says "when you cast a spell, you may ..." And "this ability triggers only once per turn." This ability triggers on your first spell a turn, even if you opt to not put the spell on the bottom of the library. So you can't play something like a Talrand and save the Neera trigger for the next spell that turn.
@@nahagliv9887 “Triggered” in this context means you had the option to resolve the ability. Once you cast a spell with Neera on the board, the ability triggers and you make the choice.
@@nahagliv9887 603.2. Whenever a game event or game state matches a triggered ability’s trigger event, that ability automatically triggers. The ability doesn’t do anything at this point. 603.2i A triggered ability may have an instruction followed by “Do this only once each turn.” This ability triggers only if its source’s controller has not yet taken the indicated action that turn. 603.5. Some triggered abilities’ effects are optional (they contain “may,” as in “At the beginning of your upkeep, you may draw a card”). These abilities go on the stack when they trigger, regardless of whether their controller intends to exercise the ability’s option or not. The choice is made when the ability resolves. Shivam casted a spell, the ability triggered, the ability went on the stack, and he resolved it by choosing to not put the spell on the bottom of his library. Neera will not trigger again because it triggers “once per turn.”
@@ninjaboy1415 I see what you mean but I guess where im confused is that the triggered ability and the event that triggers it are separated by a choice that the player has to make. The wording of Whenever you cast a spell is weird shouldn't it say The first spell you cast each turn instead. I think you are right but now i think the wording on the card is terrible.
As a blue player who likes combos and obscene things, getting to see Shivam stress about his board and miss a bunch of triggers is something I relate to.. Like getting to go off and do crazy and complicated things is awesome! It’s also super stressful and hurts my brain and takes a long time to get through my turn 😂
Tuvasa is one of my favorite decks ever. After playing Uril, the Miststalker for a few months, and making a joke that if i could only turn the red in uril into blue, that it would be the best deck ever, out came the estrid deck, that for the first time ever, not only made the color fix, put an enchantress in the COMMAND ZONE. Epic.
also, Shivam, i think you did really well, especially for never playing that archetype! A lot of those cards are intense for seasoned blue/interaction players, and require a lot of critical analysis and thinking. For what it's worth, you were killing it my dude.
Oh, and extra kudos for taking the L in stride and being genuinely excited to see it go off. I feel a lot of players would have grabbed the salt from the cupboard and started pouring. Well played, both literally and figuratively!
To Joey, I also casted rite and kicked on nyx but had twincaster for my commander. My lands tapped for min 31 each. Also had a gaias cradle and 58 scute swarms. But no gas.
Fun fact. According to Nix-Blooms oracle text, if you have more than one, the effect is cumulative. So if you have two, each land taps for nine. If you kicked rote of replication and double that with twin casters, each land taps for....59,049 mana each, if I did my math right. So....if you hmever do it again, now you know! Have fun!
So funny enough Shivam could've killed Olivia and survived with the alms collector sphinx combo. Scroll rack doesn't count as drawing cards so he could've murdered her and then scroll racked his whole library back in any order he wanted lol 😆. Also, comeuppance doesn't protect your creatures but we all make mistakes.
Atraxa can truly do it all, like lead a coalition of 34 planeswalkers that allow for her to achieve ultimate godlike power! Ahem, sorry, got a little carried away there.
I've watched this like 4 times, but this is my first time commenting. I agree with Olivia on the enchantress point. My atraxa deck is sagas/enchantress and it's very fun.
Shivam: “I’m going to miss so many triggers!”
Joey: “Not if I have anything to say about it!”
Should start calling him Judge Joey hey? 😊
Joey should be a regular, I love this guy
If he keeps accepting, we'll keep inviting! He's wonderful
@@EDHijinks Please do! I think he and this group really embody the spirit of commander, and it's so fun!
Yup
you gotta love joey
Was he on the top right?

You should check out Shivam's podcast. It is one of the few magic podcasts I listen to.
@@qella46021 I'll check it out! I'm not much of a podcast listener but I'll give it a try
Joey's plan of reincarnating his Commander with different art each time he cast it is *chefs kiss* Definitely stealing that for my commanders who have several different versions.
I do the same with my Torrens deck He has 4 different outfits 😂
Can't wait to see someone do this with the new Elesh Norn
@@macmusial3644 that'll have to be someone rich
@@joedoe7572 if theyre building a deck with elesh to be as good as possible theyre prob rich anyways so...

Edit: Shivam definitely lived the Izzet dream and everyone else's nightmare.
Came here to say exactly this. Well stated!
I like Olivia always committed to never laughing at dad jokes. What a soldier cause joey brought the heat today.

@@shivambhatt8380 also, Midnight Clock is not a may ability. You have to put a counter on it on each upkeep
Yes, we missed a million triggers. We know 😂
How could you miss any triggers with so much going on???
Is it really a colander game if no triggers are missed?
dont worry, its fine. When u have a lot of work and a game at the same time. sometime happenes
Lol you all are so much fun to watch. Missed triggers don’t bother me
That’s why we watch for the hijinks and missed triggers.
Welcome, Shivam, to the wonders of playing Storm.
Hardcasting Omniscience is one HELL of a drug. As a storm player, I don't blame you for taking super long and missing a billion triggers, sequencing is really hard, especially when you've got all those chonky cards and wheels and all the other intricacies of playing the archetype.

Joey i keep wanting to sing baby lasagna to the song baby shark this is a problem
Aliey tuvasa is awesome flickering ward will draw an extra card every turn
Shivam discovering the joys of playing value/control was absolutely precious to watch.
Finally got to see Joey playing Baby Lasagna!! It was way cooler than expected. Also, Shivam, WOW.

The hard cast Omniscience was so good
"I've never played a deck like that" I can so relate Shivam, it's all creatures and enchantments for me too, you are not alone in the struggle.
As a broke RUclips watcher, this is the only place I can see Joey play, so thank you for that
lol
I love how energetic Shivam is during game play. "Oh oh I've never done this thing! This is amazing!" I want to play him one day
Great work guys. I love Joey on his podcast and he is always so much fun to watch and Shivam's energy and enthusiasm are great to watch, plus the interplay between Alias and Olivia is hilarious.
Eilidh? Great.
Shivam? Excellent.
Olivia? Quality.
Joey? Simply the greatest.
Everyone else playing Magic, Joey's playing DBZ.
"Baba Lysaga's ultimate version!"
That was not even its final form....
So happy to see someone discover their love for blue
I am SO here for Shivam's "everything's a forest" song at 30:31
Such an explosive episode! I probably would have ended up drawing all of Shivam's deck when he had the chance!
Great episode as always! Shivams pop off was bittersweet as whiles I was happy for him I know how it can feel to be against that.. Obvi was his first time playing this and the deck did very well! It's just fair to say that it could do with finishers and or haste enablers to speed up possible victories, so games don't descend into solitaire mode. But that aside gg to all and ngl it was SUPER satisfying to see Olivia come out on top at the end. (no offence to Shivam but can't help but root for the underdogs in a sitch like this) And honestly I LOVE grouphug so to see it win against something like that! EVEN better.
I was gonna watch this episode anyway; but boy was I excited to see that Joey’s Baby Lasagna was gonna be in this episode!
Shivam's glee reminded me so much of when I first played my flicker and my wheels deck, blue is definitely a learning experience
Have been wanting to see Joey and Shivam's decks for ages and it gave me life to see all the joy Shivam had at seeing his deck go off. Always great to see players so happy when they get to do the thi g they want.
Joey vs Shivam, the battle of the side curls
It's awesome finally seeing gameplay of Joey's baba yaga deck : D
Shivam would have killed the Arena server if he tried to play that deck. Love it!

Joey's Baba Lysaga deck is great, I will need to convert my Meren deck to that. I liked his video he made on that deck a few weeks ago. Great stuff!
Joey YES, YES (but also, no)! Titania is not Magali Villenueve's best art imo, but she is BY FAR my favorite artist!!!! And you blew my mind away when u gave Blinkmoth Nexus 3 diff card types and triggered Baby Lasagna by saccing only a single permanent!!

Wow, it is so nice to see Neera. She is such an underused commander, but she is funny as hell. I was expecting Grapeshot for a million damage. And pitty that there wasn't Displacer Kitten on the table blinking Neera for more her triggers and more chaos. Still great funny deck though.
So much fun to watch! And I'm glad to see someone play Gluntch/Baba Lysaga, I liked them when they came out but wasn't sure what they could do/if they were any good.

I absolutely love Shivam’s joyousness. It is adorable.
Just wanted to thank Shivam. This is literally me anytime I play my Izzet Wizard Tribal. So. Many. Triggers. Hour long turns. I am so so sorry.
Hyped for this episode! Great guests!
It's not a curse Shivam, it's a blessing.
Shivam's delight is giving me life tonight, thank you

Oh my gods, loved this episode. I've both been that 0layer and sat across from. 10/10
Baba Lysaga quickly became one of my favorite commanders.
Always a good time ,when u can play games with the guys ,thank both the host moms,keep up the good work all
I apologize to everyone, lol
Don't. It's casual ridiculous commander and it was a pleasure to see you so excited❤️
The Baba Lysaga deck looked awesome
Wow what a hilarious game. Olivia always clutches out in such abrupt ways!
Love Shivam, Love Joey, Love Everyone ❤
... BTW Shivam you missed a trigger
Awesome game !!! Shivam & Joey are great 😁
But baby A is clearly the all star here 👶🏼💯
i have to say, it is so sick to see the same deck played through various different channels. it really gives the vibe of commander imo.
A note for posterity: Neera says "when you cast a spell, you may ..." And "this ability triggers only once per turn."
This ability triggers on your first spell a turn, even if you opt to not put the spell on the bottom of the library. So you can't play something like a Talrand and save the Neera trigger for the next spell that turn.
Great game, both Neera and Baba Lysaga seem like fun commanders
I didn't realise that the last half of the video would be solitaire 🤪
Shivam plays an island - "OMG guys! This taps for a blue mana. This is great." Love the enthusiasm.
I'm so happy for Joey that Olivia did not use generous gift to destroy omniscience!
I like the video. I comment. I back there Patreon. Our dread bargain fulfilled.
Who else would tune into a podcast with Joey called Data with DaDa
At 32:46, Neera’s ability wouldn’t have triggered. It only triggers once per turn and he has already casted a spell that turn.

Like getting to go off and do crazy and complicated things is awesome! It’s also super stressful and hurts my brain and takes a long time to get through my turn 😂
Olivia! I love you! That deck that you played caught my attention the second I saw the commander! I might actually buy it! :D
Shivam's playmat is gorgeous.
Awesome show. Hope y'all are having a good week :-)
Cool seeing Shivam being a problem on purpose. Spicy plays
As a gruul player watching Shivam convert to the dark side of blue disturbing…..
….and awesome.
Tuvasa is one of my favorite decks ever. After playing Uril, the Miststalker for a few months, and making a joke that if i could only turn the red in uril into blue, that it would be the best deck ever, out came the estrid deck, that for the first time ever, not only made the color fix, put an enchantress in the COMMAND ZONE. Epic.
also, Shivam, i think you did really well, especially for never playing that archetype! A lot of those cards are intense for seasoned blue/interaction players, and require a lot of critical analysis and thinking. For what it's worth, you were killing it my dude.
Oh, and extra kudos for taking the L in stride and being genuinely excited to see it go off. I feel a lot of players would have grabbed the salt from the cupboard and started pouring. Well played, both literally and figuratively!
To Joey, I also casted rite and kicked on nyx but had twincaster for my commander. My lands tapped for min 31 each. Also had a gaias cradle and 58 scute swarms. But no gas.
Fun fact. According to Nix-Blooms oracle text, if you have more than one, the effect is cumulative. So if you have two, each land taps for nine. If you kicked rote of replication and double that with twin casters, each land taps for....59,049 mana each, if I did my math right.
So....if you hmever do it again, now you know! Have fun!
Shivam playing with the torch on someone elses turn 38:05 is so relatable
Oh my lord… Shivam discovering the joys of blue chaos. You’ve created a monster 😂
So funny enough Shivam could've killed Olivia and survived with the alms collector sphinx combo. Scroll rack doesn't count as drawing cards so he could've murdered her and then scroll racked his whole library back in any order he wanted lol 😆. Also, comeuppance doesn't protect your creatures but we all make mistakes.
Atraxa can truly do it all, like lead a coalition of 34 planeswalkers that allow for her to achieve ultimate godlike power! Ahem, sorry, got a little carried away there.
I've watched this like 4 times, but this is my first time commenting.
I agree with Olivia on the enchantress point. My atraxa deck is sagas/enchantress and it's very fun.
Wait…I’ve seen this pod before!😂 Can’t wait to watch later when I have a moment!😁
