    Not enough love for how awesome that Game 2 endgame scenario was. Leaving the missed plays aside, that was the epitome of "powerful magic" that many enjoy about Commander. Watching a scenario of "my entire deck versus your entire deck" was really enjoyable. Some other notes...
    - Love Seth experimenting with "fewer staples" builds
    - Poor Phil had been doing well not drawing Sol Ring as much earlier this season, but is falling back into old habits
    - Good reminder of what goldfishing a good Elfball start is like. That deck spirals like no other.
    Reminder that Commander Clash is not about optimal plays. It's about having a play group you enjoy playing styles of Magic you enjoy, whatever that means. Continue to love the variety of interesting decks that is rare to find in quite this manner elsewhere.

    If Phil isn't going to play the boardwipe, why not just concede then? There isn't an answer out there that would have dealt with Tomer's board and left Phil's two creatures. So either no one answers anything and Tomer runs away with it, or someone else draws an answer (or two answers after Phil gave Tomer the extra turn to draw more protection) and Phil still won't do anything.
    I didn't like the strategy, and it made for a bad viewing experience. After it became obvious Phil wasn't going to play his wipe, I just started skipping forward to see if anyone ever dealt with the board. There are definitely times to slow roll removal and answers. When an elf-ball player has all the mana and card draw in the world, it's not that time. If you aren't going to try to win game 1 just to get to game 2, concede and start over. And the crew has revenge weeks for decks that don't have the showing they want. I'm sure if Phil had asked, they probably could have just done a revenge week in the next month.
    Edit: This comment was overly harsh. The Decree of Pain line is probably a valid attempt. And of course, Seth or Richard are also allowed to play removal in their decks as well. I really enjoy the current four as a group, but I feel like they could use 10% more Crim in their deckbuilding practices.

      Casting Blasphemous act doesn't help him at all, because he has basically 0 chance to win from that position. At best, he helps Seth or Richard win, and at worst Tomer still wins but it takes several more turns.
      Conceding doesn't really help if the other two players don't as well. There's also kind of an unspoken rule that they don't concede except when it's completely obvious one player is about to win.

      @@HypnoticGG That's your opinion, and imo your preference is the "salty play" not Phil's. Poor sportsmanship is resetting the board when you know you're gonna lose just for the sake of extending the game, rather than letting someone finish it and move to a more fun and interactive game 2. Board wiping would only extend the game while not putting him in any position to win, and rather than make the next 25 minutes extremely boring and painful for everyone he chose to let the game end.
      Could he have gotten some favor with Seth and Richard by playing Blasphemous Act? Sure, but he had no mana, no card draw engine, and only high cost cards in hand, so best case scenario is he maybe assembles a competitive board state after like 5-6 turns of "draw go" which is far more miserable.

      We just rotate through the cast weekly, same order as you see in the intros except when there's an issue. Sometimes that means that's a player that gets taken out early or has mana troubles, but that's also part of commander and that way the viewer can't know in advance who might win (or survive).

    The lack of any kind of Maruading Blight Priest style effect in Seth's deck caused me pain, as someone else who has built Queza as a lifegain deck. Turning all of those instances of gain 1 life into draining the entire table for 1, rather than just one person is SO good, and far less scary than an Aetherflux is! (At least, it is until you have those turns where you draw 40 cards and everyone dies)

      @@Ricardo-zo1ti that's of course true, the bane of progress was a really good tutor here. but for me i think i'd prefer Jetmir for consistency in a deck like this. Green has a lot of good creature tutors you can include in the 99. But they also got a good amount of overrun effects you can include in the 99.

    Considering you're still paying it's mana cost, plus commander tax, I don't think Rocco's really that busted. There are a lot of commanders that let you draw a ton of cards or combat steps. Also, I believe Dockside is only really busted because artifact ramp is so huge in commander. Against my most my decks it comes down to get nothing because I don't need mana rocks in most of them. My mono red or white decks will give up 4 or 5 a dockside.

It's easy for people to complain from a distance, but board wiping there is like the equivalent of casting Armageddon with no immediate wincon - nobody wants to be involved in that when they're the ones playing.
