Hope you enjoy a little test of the C20 commanders! We will be back Tuesday with another C20 Commander gameplay video featuring Brallin and Shabraz, so if you're looking for more gameplay we have some on the way! Also, if you didn't catch it during the video we have a Kickstarter going for our first ever playmat release: www.kickstarter.com/projects/casuallycompetitive/casually-competitive-playmats We will also be testing out some Ikoria commanders tonight on stream at 7:30PM EST over on Twitch if you're interested to see how some of the new Ikoria Legends hold up! www.twitch.tv/casuallycompetitivemtg
Everyone counters bills tutors, Jordan plays spellseeker getting flash... Fools! Him playing that flash with the known counter spell and open mana was pretty bad tho too
Everyone is so focused on killing everyone else with one fell swoop of a combo that they just let Jordan live with 2 health and 1 little blocker. He then proceeds to interrupt two different plays and cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift......You don't always have to combo kill everyone.
This game really showcased just how powerful Oakhame adversary can be when it's not dealt with. That 2 mana creature dealt 14 damage and drew 7 cards. Not an understatement to say that these extra cards are what kept Bill in the game after his stuff got countered over and over again.
That was a fun game guys, keep it up!. Also i want to highlight something that i strongly dislike... i know that people in this channel and even some of you are really tired of thassa's oracle wins and thats why your flash hulk pile in Ukkima looked like that... its a valid approach however in my opinion there is a BIG difference between playing "a suboptimal line at high level" and "intentionally build a terrible combo from an staple wincon". Instead of that intentionally bad flash-hulk pile i think you guys should run Alluren + Cavern Harpy... that is also a combo line with Ukkima, its a good and compact wincon, its not super optimized but does not involves the nasty fish and feels much more like the optimization level you guys usually use in your videos. And again thanks for keep posting content even in this worldwide quarantine time
i fully agree, no point in playing hulk package if running such a terrible version, just go all in on the chain and add more counterspells or removal in place.
Bill missed an attack with corpse knight before he sacrificed it to diabolic intent. Also, Jordan cast flash right into a player who had just regrowth’d a counterspell for some reason?
I believe it has a bait, he already had add nausium and need to make sure it would resolve, so he decide to draw out the hate with flash to open the path. It did not go well tho since his add nauseum has not great has pretty bad
I have been looking at him as a knock off Opus Thief type commander (high value wheels, good payoffs, etc). It won't make it into the testing videos but expect to see it down the road for sure!
Agreed, the Zaxara player piloted this deck very poorly. I have a Zaxara deck that can go super wide on big hydra tokens to beat face and wins alot, I dont think I saw a single hydra token this entire game from Zaxara...poor showing.
I would love to see a match of mono colored commanders played. I think it would be really interesting. I really like Ukkima cant wait to build around it. Great content!
Before watching: KALAMAX HYYPE i preordered the precon right as he was spoiled, as i knew, out of all themes and commanders i would get him anyways and before the precon gets a money card (which cycling got), i grabbed it. edit: (possible spoilers) Ukkima partners are definetely the best commanders, ukkima + foodchain is nasty. I wonder how kalamax does in a more fork/copy oriented version, as copy spells can substitute kalamax badly as well as combo with him and generate value of other peoples tutors, though i assume it may be a bit lower in powerlevel than the very compact kiki package.
What about a matchup between commanders that try to win through a board/combat? Id be fun to see you try to navigate through a nightmarish battlefield at least once
The optimal way to build Zaxara is every tutor you can/transmute for 3cmc cards, go after Pemmin's Aura or Freed from the Real then play Torment of Hailfire/Exsanguinate/Capsize/Walking Ballista etc to auto win. I only run 2 X spells in my deck.
Man, you know what this game sure could have used more of? Thassa's Oracle and maybe a little Demonic Consultation sprinkled on top. Am I right yall? -fuck no im not right- I'm happy to see games without those cards or line of play coming up at all. Thank you.
Just came across this channel. Very nice production value and quite entertaining. The eot brainstorms without shuffle effects were somewhat questionable though.
Really fun game this time! I enjoyed how interactive this one was and I always love to see a nice infinite mana combo. Do you guys have a favorite commander from all of the Ikoria cards yet?
So I run a cedh zaxara and cazur and ukima, the cazur and ukima ayer did ok but zaxara played that way wrong cause he waited for the artifact ramp, and regardless of the reason he shouldn't have waited, zaxara is meant to be proactive until you get zaxara out, after that you are allowed to stall and play control until you get a game winning x spell and infinite Mana or if you have them you do it until you feel safe going for it
I think Ukkima might be the best sultai commander there is obviously... and it can run the fish consultation and fish tainted pact with fish being the only dead card in that combo (because obviously the forbidden tutors have a ton of upside in a food chain deck in that they have the possibility of grabbing food chain and exiling the creature that can be cast from exile)...
It might compete with tymna/thrasios now that flash is banned. basically it determination if it is better to have draw engines in the command zone or a food chain combo piece in the command zone now that arguably the best combo to win the game is compact enough to fit in any deck that has blue and black it will be interesting to see how the meta evolves.
Ukkima is my fav so far, I'm excited to see what this game has to offer. Although I plan on a more casual 'bomb politics deck'. Pump Ukkima to 10 power infect (aka 'bomb has been planted'), then make everyone obey to your every wishes. Otherwise instant sac/bounce/flicker. Can't wait!
Yeah that confuses me about his breakdown of the commanders at the end. Sounded like he was just saying "good because sultai" without explaining what ukima can actually do it why you'd run it over another sultai commander.
@@fidly4 the reason ukkima is nice over other sultai commanders is the leaves the battlefield trigger. It lets you run food chain combo easier, rather than having to run food chain with a graveyard combo like sidisi
Can we see a Kethril Deck with an Ad Naueam Win con? I've been trying to build one since she was spoiled, I would like to know how you guys would build something like that.
Oh Jordan, I bet you wish you could've taken back that Pact of Negation! It basically tapped you out for your next turn because you fought over Noxious Revivaling Flash (with a Regrowth in hand).
I didnt have dramatic in hand. It was a bait cast cause I had freed from the reel in hand. I figured isochron could eat a counter on the way down to clear the way
I think stopping Bill from tutoring at all costs should become a regular thing on this channel, it started getting amusing after the third counter. Also Oakhame Adversary went lowkey unnoticed and drew tonnes of cards!

Shabraz hype!
Nice, is it a Fluctuator deck?
I’ll be honest, I needed some actual gameplay with these commanders. Thank you.
I just wanted to tutor 😭
I was rooting for you after all the counters.
MVP of the game had to be Oakhame Adversary
you will always be the best in our hearts
Billkakke no
@@DaveMassee I really underestimate how good that card is every time. Debated picking one up but not sure how good it is casually
Oh my god, bill his tutors being countered while everyone else keeps tutoring is the saddest thing ever.
Bill was a trooper this game
Everyone counters bills tutors, Jordan plays spellseeker getting flash... Fools! Him playing that flash with the known counter spell and open mana was pretty bad tho too
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG yeah, i felt that 💔
Yep, nothing quite as obnoxious as being the only non-blue deck at the table, and getting countered from all sides.
just a casual game of archenemy
Everyone is so focused on killing everyone else with one fell swoop of a combo that they just let Jordan live with 2 health and 1 little blocker. He then proceeds to interrupt two different plays and cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift......You don't always have to combo kill everyone.
Bill: "Who needs fish when I can draw cards by beating face?"
greatest thing is refreshing youtube homepage and getting this in the top left corner
Thanks!
This game really showcased just how powerful Oakhame adversary can be when it's not dealt with. That 2 mana creature dealt 14 damage and drew 7 cards. Not an understatement to say that these extra cards are what kept Bill in the game after his stuff got countered over and over again.
Definitely my pick for this game's most valuable card
Oml is this the first time we’ve seen casually competitive have a deck only missing 2 bars?
Is bill playing archenemy??? Like 3 vs 1, he ate ALL counters , WTF?
That was a fun game guys, keep it up!.

I hope we get to see Xyris, that commander seems so cool.
I have been looking at him as a knock off Opus Thief type commander (high value wheels, good payoffs, etc). It won't make it into the testing videos but expect to see it down the road for sure!
Casually Competitive MTG awesome!
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG Oh come On! #weneedXyris
I just wanted to see Zaxara do something :(
Agreed, the Zaxara player piloted this deck very poorly. I have a Zaxara deck that can go super wide on big hydra tokens to beat face and wins alot, I dont think I saw a single hydra token this entire game from Zaxara...poor showing.
Very nice to see the new commanders in a cEDH environment. Glad you are still making quality content still with the actual situation.
Hype to see Nikara and Yannik!
Really like that Bill won the game even though his cards were getting countered left and right
I really dig Yannik... the shenanigans you can do with it reminds me of my Saffi Eriksdotter deck.
Yannik + Karmic Guide + sac outlet = F U N
I hope you guys hit your stretch goal on the kickstarter, that lands playmat is amazing looking
I would love to see a match of mono colored commanders played. I think it would be really interesting. I really like Ukkima cant wait to build around it. Great content!
Thank you for edeting the commander damage scale.
Dang, there was a butt ton of interaction in this match; loved it!
Before watching:
KALAMAX HYYPE
i preordered the precon right as he was spoiled, as i knew, out of all themes and commanders i would get him anyways and before the precon gets a money card (which cycling got), i grabbed it.
edit: (possible spoilers)
Ukkima partners are definetely the best commanders, ukkima + foodchain is nasty. I wonder how kalamax does in a more fork/copy oriented version, as copy spells can substitute kalamax badly as well as combo with him and generate value of other peoples tutors, though i assume it may be a bit lower in powerlevel than the very compact kiki package.
The chain of vapor interaction with kalamax was really neat.
Thank you! Been super hungry to see these cards played!
First time seeing a CEDH match and realizing that its mostly just a lot of "In response..."
There is a lot of that but this is absolutely not even close to what I would consider a CEDH game. Go to Play to Win for some real CEDh
I wouldnt consider any of these commanders as cedh viable.. look at games with gitrog, zur, anje, tymna/thrasios, najeela...
@@reidbrock9046 it is casually competitive, it is also testing commanders, they also use the more meta ones often
Adam was gonna have one of those turn 1s you dream about but Mystic Remora is too good
Well played turn 8 by Nate! And great win by Bill too!
What about a matchup between commanders that try to win through a board/combat? Id be fun to see you try to navigate through a nightmarish battlefield at least once
The optimal way to build Zaxara is every tutor you can/transmute for 3cmc cards, go after Pemmin's Aura or Freed from the Real then play Torment of Hailfire/Exsanguinate/Capsize/Walking Ballista etc to auto win. I only run 2 X spells in my deck.
quality content; interactive, competitive gameplay; good work; KIU!
C20 commanders competitive build? *This* early? Wow I love you guys.
wow, this channel is awesome. Whay a job well done editing this video. I found your channel on The Commander's Quarters.
Kalamax to me is interesting because it makes attacking a somewhat viable plan B (or C). I mean, it's the most easy way to tap it!
Man, you know what this game sure could have used more of? Thassa's Oracle and maybe a little Demonic Consultation sprinkled on top. Am I right yall? -fuck no im not right- I'm happy to see games without those cards or line of play coming up at all. Thank you.
such a roller coaster if emotions
Holy counter spell Batman
all of the new formatting is amazing! it wold be great if we could see a xyris group hug deck tho
Just came across this channel. Very nice production value and quite entertaining.
The eot brainstorms without shuffle effects were somewhat questionable though.
Welcome back
Such a great game!
12:15 Poor bill, got all 4 of his tutors countered so far
One of the best matches so far!!
Sooo much interaction
Jeez
Sick game!
Honestly, if I was bill, I would just scoop after that fierce guardianship. It's kind of shitty when the table stops one player from playing the game.
Let's go Zax!
Really fun game this time! I enjoyed how interactive this one was and I always love to see a nice infinite mana combo. Do you guys have a favorite commander from all of the Ikoria cards yet?

I liked the part where there was cardboard
That was a super good game. Very interactive
Blue blue blue...sooo op in commander.
My favorite won yay. I was planning on putting a spike feeder archangel of thune combo in
The number of lands this game is amazing
I love how you guys are using zoom to keep making content! Love your work you guys!
I think Ukkima might be the best sultai commander there is obviously... and it can run the fish consultation and fish tainted pact with fish being the only dead card in that combo (because obviously the forbidden tutors have a ton of upside in a food chain deck in that they have the possibility of grabbing food chain and exiling the creature that can be cast from exile)...

Yay I like food chain cedh decks
I'm just trying to figure out where Jordan got that Itachi playmat! Is it just a custom design from Inked gaming?
🍻 to being responsible. Give your channel 5 years of consistency. That's what it will take
Im pleased to see new decks^^
i was really hoping to see zaxara do some stuff, since it was revealed I've been interested in making it my next commander.
Ukkima is my fav so far, I'm excited to see what this game has to offer. Although I plan on a more casual 'bomb politics deck'. Pump Ukkima to 10 power infect (aka 'bomb has been planted'), then make everyone obey to your every wishes. Otherwise instant sac/bounce/flicker. Can't wait!
that Ukkima deck was nuts lol
Woot woot
All of their names sound like soneone smashed their head into the keyboard
That’ll be the last time flash is tutored up on this channel. Yay
saw Flash being pulled at 11:02. Wasn't it banned around this time along with Lutri?
Brooo the black backpack is already sold out😫
Did ukimma do anything at all. Was it not just sultai colors. That makes it not stand out at all
Yeah that confuses me about his breakdown of the commanders at the end. Sounded like he was just saying "good because sultai" without explaining what ukima can actually do it why you'd run it over another sultai commander.
@@fidly4 the reason ukkima is nice over other sultai commanders is the leaves the battlefield trigger. It lets you run food chain combo easier, rather than having to run food chain with a graveyard combo like sidisi
hola la verdad excelente video me gusto deseo el nuevo grabación me retiro les envio besis muchas gracias
Great job!
Wonderful game
Nice new logo)
Would like to see a Xyris build. Awesome video🤘
I'm still waiting on that 4-way mono-white game :^)
for a moment, i thought kalamax was going to win it all from 5 land drops behind.
Miss you guys. Hope all is well
Food chain for the win!
Can we see a Kethril Deck with an Ad Naueam Win con? I've been trying to build one since she was spoiled, I would like to know how you guys would build something like that.
Gotta have graveyard hate
I just was laughing at how many Standard commons/uncommons are in this video...Destiny Spinner, Corpse Knight etc.
Oh Jordan, I bet you wish you could've taken back that Pact of Negation!
It basically tapped you out for your next turn because you fought over Noxious Revivaling Flash (with a Regrowth in hand).
Soo... This is countmmander Legends
Rip Flash 👌
When Adam was at 27, and took 2 from
Oakhame it dropped his health to 26
Green card draw through Combat Damage. Yay!
That merch looks so clean
Man I'd love to see sharknado, rielle, kinnan, etc. :P
Their meta has so many counters and tutors
That’s how all CEDH is. Counters, cheap ramp, cheap card draw, tutors and combos
Damn I've been waiting for this
Not sure why Adam didn’t imprint his dramatic reversal. He had infinite mana with out his commander being out.
I didnt have dramatic in hand. It was a bait cast cause I had freed from the reel in hand. I figured isochron could eat a counter on the way down to clear the way
Play testing the new commanders? I love it already.
Was the fork infinite in the Kalamax deck? I know its not very cEDH-y to win through combat dmg but still
actually combat damage is played a lot! Kiki wins with combat, feather wins with combat...
Let me know if you need the misprint 2/3 corpse knight. Great finisher. I’m glad thassa’s Oracle Wasn’t the win con lol
Oakhame Adversary mvp
I think stopping Bill from tutoring at all costs should become a regular thing on this channel, it started getting amusing after the third counter. Also Oakhame Adversary went lowkey unnoticed and drew tonnes of cards!
Okhame Adversary was the real MVP this game
How do you guys set up the cameras? Obviously this is shot from everyone's home. Do you just use a webcam or something?
I would love it if you guys did a few without anybody using blue. You know so we dont have to see counter spells for literally every card
This seems like such a frustrating play group. Almost felt like everyone was just playing the same deck.
It’s supposed to be like this. All counters tutors and combos. It’s a CEDH playgroup. Go watch extra turns if you don’t want this kind of content.
really wish the 1st game had better interactions besides only countering bill’s tutor’s RIP Bill
Love your content but why are the beginnings often choppy?
