Joé here, I'm sorry I didn't read Balduvian rage properly, it was my mistake. I've since replaced it with bandage, which lets me draw a card instantly instead of at the beginning of the next upkeep. So again, I should have read my card correctly in the first place, but I wasn't trying to cheat. It was an honest mistake.
@@swdjr33 true but it might as well say sorcery instead of instant which can really make a difference in the mid to late game if it lasts that long and sometimes it's better to have a immediate draw instead of a delayed one

Oops... Balduvian Rage can only target attacking creatures... a genuine mistake, as no one noticed it, I believe, but it got Joé way more value than he was supposed to get and made Feather look way more powerful than she actually was.
Balduvian rage is not great and panic has a downside, but my deck runs 7 other 1 Mana draw spells that target so I dont think it's misrepresenting feathers power.
@@JamesObscura It's fine as a pump spell for dishing out damage. The card draw is a bonus, but it shouldn't count towards Feather's "Repeatable Cantrips" package.
@Archon I agree somewhat. There's just a lot of one mana pump spells that pump for 3 so balduvian rage is kinda a bad ratio. The card draw makes it okay tho.
I went with a glass canon approach . So a bunch of low drop creatures with shadow or horsemanship so they can’t be blocked then turn them into ninjas. My big spells are split cards or delve cards and of course Draco is somewhere in there. It’s very strong 1v1 but as far as multiplayer you will die unless you kill everyone around turn 6. Too much hate
@@jaded2269420 similar. Mine is heavy control though. The split cards I use are great control cards and I run a ton of extra turn spells and tutors.

We have the same control shell but I didn’t put extra turns my meta needed MORE control lol. Imprison the moon does so much work for such a small cost, rags to riches is great for aggressive then steal their big creature later down the road. Meekstone for big creature decks
Bal Rage only works on attacking creature. Made this mistake myself when building my version. I feel like the bruna player went way too aggro for my taste. I like being able to kill someone by the time I cast bruna.
Agree with you. I run only five auras in the deck, and I will only cast bruna when I know I can kill someone in one shot. Bruna need more control pieces than auras in my opinion
Tzu Hsuan Wei ... 5 auras? I understand the sentiment, but isn’t that a little low? So on average, if you draw half your deck, 50 CARDS, you’ll have seen 2-3 auras. Why even run her as your commander at that point? Sounds like you’re doing azorius control or stax, and there a lot of commanders which lend themselves to that strategy.
@@Cole444Train I'm running battle mastery+Eldrazi Conscription+Corrupted Conscience as my main wincon. As you said I tune my bruna more toward a control deck.
I have enough tutor to make sure I can hit the two out of there one shot kill auras and enough spell to protect my bruna. Most of my friend in my play group will not make my bruna resolve or survive more than one turn, then having more auras is abit meaningless if can expect a countespell or pte.
Seb didn't have to destroy his own carpet of flowers. Hull breach can destroy, a single artifact, a single enchantment, or both. If he only destroyed the boots he would then be able to use the sage's reverie as the enchantment target for decimate.
Yikes, mistakes happen but Joé's drew him like 20 cards over the game. Though to be fair any other 1 mana cantrip would've had the same result as Balduvian's rage since he didn't use it to pump. So it's still an accurate depiction of what Feather is capable of.
Agreed. Mistakes happen and we learn from them. He draw into them later. I can't speak to his hand early on, but he had Defiant, etc, which would have been the same effect.
yeah, if only that deck had that kind of effect on a bunch of cards.... yes it was illegal, but it definetely is a mistake that can happen and isn't doing something that the deck otherwise couldn't do.
Narabedla as someone who plays Feather a lot, I would sure love to imagine he had those cards, but he was casting - as the Narrator insisted - Balduvian Rage. Illegally. Every time
@@servantofcygnus yes it was illegal, but those people do not play every deck dozens of times, so he may just overread balduvian rage as one of those other cards and it still shows what the deck is capable of. The outrage about how that cheating has won him the game is way out of proportion. just imagine for a moment, maybe he doesn't run bandage or one other 1 cmc cantrip in favor of bald. rage if he would have read it correctly and had another cantrip the game would be the same. That isn't a tournament, there aren't high stakes, it wasn't done with malicious intend and the outrage is just useless.
this is the 2nd video i watched Feather wins.., as my 1st edh deck is Feather., I would say that I'm proud for having a Feather deck in my 4 months of experience in MTG tables., great Job for the player (Joe)
I love the card. It's so ridiculously good with Sunforger. It was a shame it got blown up so early in the game. It was a mistake on the part of the Feather player to run it out there so early without a good way to protect it, but in the end I guess it didn't end up mattering.
Because Feather plays oft unused cards it is very important when playing a new feather deck that you read all the cards before you cast the and make sure you are playing an instant or sorcery. There is a big chance for misplay, like Balduvian Rage. especially early on. As mentioned below there are many different cantrips and my deck runs nine and doesn't even include the Rage so while the Rage was misplay it is steal a feasible outcome had it been another cantrip card. While most decks do not run a lot of land destruction outside of drawing a bajillion cards it was the reliquary tower that won the game. This was because he was able to keep his card draws and have many lines of play available for the best path to victory.
While the Rage play was definitely a game changer, it definitely felt like an honest mistake. Ran into that problem yesterday when I realized that Jaya Balard couldn't work with it due to the "attacking creature" line. I also might've accidentally tutored Assault Strobe with Sunforger once
Is it weird that I actually like the music, considering it’s always going off during Halloween outside someone’s house haha. When you told people to “google it” all I imagined was the midget from Family guy going “Big Whoop Wanna Fight About It”
Poor Jamie. Not killing Mat ASAP was the most wrong thing (not) to do. TWO turns for Feather to abuse was... lethal, as we have seen. Nice game! Too bad we didn't see Yuriko in action, but hey, the other three players compensated, lol. (And yeah, another balduvian rage comment
Am I missing something? Shouldn't the greaves stay with Joe? Magnetic theft takes an equipment but not until end of turn, it's indefinite right? EDIT: OK did some research, I found the answer, caster still controls it.
Keep in mind that, while Feather is still powerful, it got Joé way more value than he was supposed to get, because everyone misread Balduvian Rage; it can only target attacking creatures.
Romolo Borgatto nope, but I do try and suggest to the table to discuss their decks and if they think X or Y is appropriately balanced with the rest of the table
I have a zada deck and when feather was spoiled I was thinking of she's better. Watching the episode made me realise that she might be, but my boy Zada is way more ridiculous XD When he goes off he can nuke 4 tables worth of players, but I only get to do that when people don't know how the deck works and if RNGesous is on my side. I remember a game where a friend was playing my ezuri and he was going off and the other 2 were playing a dragon tribal and izzet something. And I'm like let my spells resolve and I can deal with ezuri (I had a bunch of 1/1s and zada) by the end of my attack step I had 30 18/4 doublestrikers and an extra combat step. That's just so amusing! And since feather can't really do that I'm sticking with Zada for now.
I know I'm in the minority but I put Bruna up with Zur and Narset and Najeela. I'm not talking cEDH, but rather the upper end of casual/normal play. No such thing as a "fair" Bruna deck. Still love her though!
Pyrohemia and... the cat tokens made by Windgrace's ult, maybe? They're a lot more threatening when the opponents have forests... The deck definitely needs Exsanguinate and other X-spells for finishers... heck, even Maga would fit here.
I'm 100% certain that's Bach's Toccata in the background. A bit overly dramatic, this game wasn't so special. Jamie's Yuriko ... well ... reminds everyone how much Magic is about luck, still.
Yup, probably not appropriate for a yuriko, feather or bruna. I'd certainly see the toccata in a game where Markov, meren or undead related is the archenemy. Imaging this song with a brutal hord of zombies or vampire savagely mowing the 3 players down. Doesn't mean it has to win, just dominant
Question: If I want my spells back from feather on my turn, do I have to cast all the spells during the enemies 2nd main? Can I say "I cast this spell before you go into your End Step", or do I not have priority?
A little bit late but before each ending stage of a turn there should be a confirmation to allow the passage without other triggers, in that they pass priority
Adding to the list of misplays: why would you crack a myriad landscape to fetch 2 islands with a carpet of flowers on the board? He could've cracked it after Seb's turn to deny him the advantage.
In my opinion, the best way to play Bruna is making it a self mill deck. There should be minimal creatures in your deck. The rest is mill, mana artifacts, and the best Aura's in those colors. You can play Mirrormad Phantasm and mill all of your Auras to the grave. Then you swing and all those Auras come back and attach to Bruna.
I'm sad by the fact that Jamie didn't EXIST in this game... it's the worst possible thing that can happen to a player, and the reason why I despise LD/Stax...
It's why I think people should be allowed in EDH to start with three random lands then shuffle and draw the restas EDH games takes hours sometimes so it's worth it to allow everyone play the game as it could be ages until the next game.
Joe's choices for the protection color with shelter were somewhat random, for exemple choosing pro red against a red-green spell knowing opponent had a green-black destruction spell on hand but okay, live and learn
Why did the Bruna player cast Return to Dust while their Greaves equip was still on the stack? Why not wait until the Commander is safe before you start messing with other people's stuff?
Regardless of the misplays, there are plenty of other and *cheaper* pump n' draws that don't require the creature to be attacking and Feather is as scary here and she is in probably every game. I've been playing her recently and she is quite nuts.
I don’t believe so. Max had passed priority and the way I think it works is that it goes around, Joe cast his magnetic theft. Priority then goes around again and Max could theoretically cast his own spells, but because you can’t normally equip at instant speed, the magnetic theft resolved and then the phase ends because you don’t get priority again once you’ve passed it unless there is something on the stack you are responding to
@@joshuawood2926 @Robert Wilson The phase doesn't end once the spell resolves. If Max cast Theft in the precombat main phase, once it resolved a new round of priority would have started with Joe and given him the opportunity to re-equip or cast something, but this all happened in combat before attackers were declared which is why he couldn't re-equip.
Dan is right. I was curious enough that I went to ask a magic judge. Apparently when you pass priority if someone responds during your main phase you actually get priority again and it stays your main phase. Seems a bit silly to me if you had passed originally but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By "before combat" he most likely meant "during the beginning of combat step" (which is before attackers are declared, but too late to activate equip abilities).
I made a feather deck and its amazing! My fav card for the deck is kind of a meme but its seismic shift. 3r two target creatures cant block this turn destroy target land.
Maybe not for a random game of commander, but I'd certainly see that music in a non white/blue gameplay where vampires, demons and beasts clash in a bloody battlefield
So, what did we learn today? 1. Opening hands can be quite a gamble sometimes. You keep that hand that has the potential to do lots of stuff... IF you topdeck a land. It's always sad when that gamble backfires, as Jamie and Yuriko showed us today by not existing in the game. As someone who has kept potentially better hands than Jamie and still paid the price for my cockiness, I know better than to take my chances and advise heavily against it; 2. Even if you're putting a card in your deck just for the cantrip (draw a card) effect, remember to read the main effect, just to make sure you can actually cast it. I feel bad for everyone who bought Balduvian Rage at a higher price, only to realize it can't be used the way it was in this game (it can only target attacking creatures); 3. Board control can't win if it can't find wincons. Windgrace was certainly lacking them, according to the decklist. Not even a Song of the Dryads so you could give an opponent a forest, so that your Windgrace tokens could swing for the win...
The lifegain from reservoir is checked upon resolution, so Joe could have gained much more life if he placed his instants on the stack instead of letting them resolve separately :)
wait, so if you cast (with Reservoir already out) 3 instants, you can just stack them and get 3*3 life upon resolving instead of 1*1+1*2+1*3? That'd be sick and result in me including one in my own Feather deck.
Yucky Yuriko because she always wins in my extended playgroup. Even the hyper-competetive guys who run infinite turns Azami, Rakdos Prison Mogis, etc. have stopped playing with the guy whenever he tries to break out the deck.
Bruna can get around shroud, but in the end when you comment the swing back she could do after dying she can't get the Daybreak Coronet when she's not enchanted before the trigger.
Thanks for mentioning that, but he wasn't trying to cheat. It was a genuine mistake. He had literally just sleeved up the deck before. I'm sure he'll use the card correctly moving forward.
@@MTGMuddstah yeh I know it wasn't intentional, having played with the card I did the same thing, I just don't want people to buy the card as it keeps creeping up and realize that it's not as good as they think
I get where you're coming from. I was reacting more to the term cheater than anything else. I've pinned a comment to the top of the video that explains your point.
I dunno, personally I would not have been happy about keeping that Yuriko hand... aside from being mana light and not being able to do something unless it happened to draw land, I'd want to keep one of my cheap evasive creatures to ensure I could Ninjitsu Yuriko out asap.
I hope someone sat Joe down after this game and told him that's not how Balduvian Rage works because oh my goodness he drew so many cards that he shouldn't have. Good game though.
If the Yuriko player had played Sunken Hollow in turn 1 and the swamp in turn 2, he would have been able to cast Strionic Resonator in turn 2 instead of turn 3. Unless he was hoping for a third land that ETB's untapped I guess.
That was a MOSTLY amazingly interactive game. Poor Jamison. I guess that explains why Balduvian Rage has spiked a bit. Feel like Joe should have been a bit more aggressive.
Thanks! Unfortunately due to a lack of reading on our part, the Rage was misplayed slightly. As someone pointed out, it has to be used on an attacking creature.
Larger misplays aside, one thing I think the Feather player could have done a little better is wait until Windgrace's draw step to Path the Oracle. Burgeoning is definitely a dead draw that late in the game. Letting him draw the Burgeoning before allowing him to shuffle his deck definitely limits his possible outs that turn.
Joé here, I'm sorry I didn't read Balduvian rage properly, it was my mistake. I've since replaced it with bandage, which lets me draw a card instantly instead of at the beginning of the next upkeep.
So again, I should have read my card correctly in the first place, but I wasn't trying to cheat. It was an honest mistake.
I make mistakes on my own cards all the time lol no big deal at all, especially with an entirely new commander! Great game!
It's okay dude as a fellow feather player I'm still working out the kinks in my deck as well as figuring out the different interactions between cards
I’ve been playing a lot of feather, and swapping out balduvian for bandage seems 100% wrong imo

I suppose, so, if the opponents don't decide to attack you after the first time they see Panic being cast.

Yup, probably not appropriate for a yuriko, feather or bruna. I'd certainly see the toccata in a game where Markov, meren or undead related is the archenemy. Imaging this song with a brutal hord of zombies or vampire savagely mowing the 3 players down. Doesn't mean it has to win, just dominant
He kept a 2 lander without anything to play... It's not so much about luck when you take correct decisions
@@andreasorphanou5469
Not true, he had the Strionic Resonator and with 1 land more, he could've played the Lantern and ramp up to cmc 4.
Poor choice of keeps. 2 lands and a strionic resonator doesn’t even let him play yuriko much less Ramp or draw. Poor choice for sure
Question: If I want my spells back from feather on my turn, do I have to cast all the spells during the enemies 2nd main? Can I say "I cast this spell before you go into your End Step", or do I not have priority?
A little bit late but before each ending stage of a turn there should be a confirmation to allow the passage without other triggers, in that they pass priority
I've been dyimg to make a feather deck since I cracked her. So many decks to make, so little time.
Was Joé resolving spells individually while Reservoir was out? If he holds priority while chaining them together, he can gain more life.
He was. I didn't even know about that ruling, so I'll definitely be applying it and letting people know moving forward!
Has there always been Transylvanian organ music in the background? Have I just never noticed?
Multizone? This is way closer to home than I would have thought :)
Adding to the list of misplays: why would you crack a myriad landscape to fetch 2 islands with a carpet of flowers on the board? He could've cracked it after Seb's turn to deny him the advantage.
In my opinion, the best way to play Bruna is making it a self mill deck. There should be minimal creatures in your deck. The rest is mill, mana artifacts, and the best Aura's in those colors. You can play Mirrormad Phantasm and mill all of your Auras to the grave. Then you swing and all those Auras come back and attach to Bruna.
I'm sad by the fact that Jamie didn't EXIST in this game... it's the worst possible thing that can happen to a player, and the reason why I despise LD/Stax...
It's why I think people should be allowed in EDH to start with three random lands then shuffle and draw the restas EDH games takes hours sometimes so it's worth it to allow everyone play the game as it could be ages until the next game.
Not really, it was also Jamie's own fault for keeping a hand that couldn't do anything unless he topdecked a land. I made that mistake lots of times.
What songs is this it sounds like something from Gauntlet
Joe's choices for the protection color with shelter were somewhat random, for exemple choosing pro red against a red-green spell knowing opponent had a green-black destruction spell on hand but okay, live and learn
Why did the Bruna player cast Return to Dust while their Greaves equip was still on the stack? Why not wait until the Commander is safe before you start messing with other people's stuff?
Regardless of the misplays, there are plenty of other and *cheaper* pump n' draws that don't require the creature to be attacking and Feather is as scary here and she is in probably every game. I've been playing her recently and she is quite nuts.
At 7.13, when Joe equips the boots to his feather before combat, couldn’t Max just re-equip them to his commander since it is still the main phase?
I don’t believe so. Max had passed priority and the way I think it works is that it goes around, Joe cast his magnetic theft. Priority then goes around again and Max could theoretically cast his own spells, but because you can’t normally equip at instant speed, the magnetic theft resolved and then the phase ends because you don’t get priority again once you’ve passed it unless there is something on the stack you are responding to
@@joshuawood2926 @Robert Wilson The phase doesn't end once the spell resolves. If Max cast Theft in the precombat main phase, once it resolved a new round of priority would have started with Joe and given him the opportunity to re-equip or cast something, but this all happened in combat before attackers were declared which is why he couldn't re-equip.
Dan is right. I was curious enough that I went to ask a magic judge. Apparently when you pass priority if someone responds during your main phase you actually get priority again and it stays your main phase.
Seems a bit silly to me if you had passed originally but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By "before combat" he most likely meant "during the beginning of combat step" (which is before attackers are declared, but too late to activate equip abilities).
I made a feather deck and its amazing! My fav card for the deck is kind of a meme but its seismic shift. 3r two target creatures cant block this turn destroy target land.
great video but not a fan of the music. not sure if i want it all gone or atleast lower volume (:
Let's see a niv-mizzet reborn deck!
Also worth mentioning is the first song's association with vampires.
Maybe not for a random game of commander, but I'd certainly see that music in a non white/blue gameplay where vampires, demons and beasts clash in a bloody battlefield
The music was awesome you suck
So, what did we learn today?
1. Opening hands can be quite a gamble sometimes. You keep that hand that has the potential to do lots of stuff... IF you topdeck a land. It's always sad when that gamble backfires, as Jamie and Yuriko showed us today by not existing in the game. As someone who has kept potentially better hands than Jamie and still paid the price for my cockiness, I know better than to take my chances and advise heavily against it;
2. Even if you're putting a card in your deck just for the cantrip (draw a card) effect, remember to read the main effect, just to make sure you can actually cast it. I feel bad for everyone who bought Balduvian Rage at a higher price, only to realize it can't be used the way it was in this game (it can only target attacking creatures);
3. Board control can't win if it can't find wincons. Windgrace was certainly lacking them, according to the decklist. Not even a Song of the Dryads so you could give an opponent a forest, so that your Windgrace tokens could swing for the win...
Seb never once offered cuts after shuffling his library. Disqualified!
The lifegain from reservoir is checked upon resolution, so Joe could have gained much more life if he placed his instants on the stack instead of letting them resolve separately :)
Oooooh, tricky! I like that.
wait, so if you cast (with Reservoir already out) 3 instants, you can just stack them and get 3*3 life upon resolving instead of 1*1+1*2+1*3?
That'd be sick and result in me including one in my own Feather deck.
@@hafusan Yep, keep the lifegain flowin
Galaxy brain plays from the feather deck
Amazing game !
Awesome, good to see someone playing feather!
There is gonna be a lot of people playin feather because she’s the flavor of the month
Its true! I made a deck myself and have been enjoying it alot
Unique Yuriko, because the pronunciation is similar. :)
Yucky Yuriko because she always wins in my extended playgroup. Even the hyper-competetive guys who run infinite turns Azami, Rakdos Prison Mogis, etc. have stopped playing with the guy whenever he tries to break out the deck.
YUCKY YURIKO! Oh jeez. How did I miss that one?!
Love the Bach
Bruna can get around shroud, but in the end when you comment the swing back she could do after dying she can't get the Daybreak Coronet when she's not enchanted before the trigger.
Didn't know that! Thanks for the feedback.
My version of Feather's deck:
www.ligamagic.com.br/?view=dks/deck&id=1630701
So the bulduvian rage says attacking creature, that guy cheated the entire game
Thanks for mentioning that, but he wasn't trying to cheat. It was a genuine mistake. He had literally just sleeved up the deck before. I'm sure he'll use the card correctly moving forward.
@@MTGMuddstah yeh I know it wasn't intentional, having played with the card I did the same thing, I just don't want people to buy the card as it keeps creeping up and realize that it's not as good as they think
I get where you're coming from. I was reacting more to the term cheater than anything else. I've pinned a comment to the top of the video that explains your point.
@@MTGMuddstah ya sorry that was definitely the wrong term. Thank you and sorry if it seemed melicious.
@@macbrink981 the card is also still strong if you have excess mana, so I'd imagine it'll keep going up
I dunno, personally I would not have been happy about keeping that Yuriko hand... aside from being mana light and not being able to do something unless it happened to draw land, I'd want to keep one of my cheap evasive creatures to ensure I could Ninjitsu Yuriko out asap.
So close to 50k subs you can do it !
Working on it!
Very good video and match
I hope someone sat Joe down after this game and told him that's not how Balduvian Rage works because oh my goodness he drew so many cards that he shouldn't have. Good game though.
Is Sebs deck "Removal Tribal"? Lmao it seems like every card he runs is either ramp or destroy things
The yodeling Yuriko!
Max should be running Mirrormad Phantasm to mill his library
If the Yuriko player had played Sunken Hollow in turn 1 and the swamp in turn 2, he would have been able to cast Strionic Resonator in turn 2 instead of turn 3. Unless he was hoping for a third land that ETB's untapped I guess.
That was a terrible hand to keep anyways. It was super greedy
Feather is a truly amazing commander.
This was a fantastic game!
What is the name of this song?
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
@@MTGMuddstah Thx :D
Yuriko's Young Yuppies?
That was a MOSTLY amazingly interactive game. Poor Jamison. I guess that explains why Balduvian Rage has spiked a bit. Feel like Joe should have been a bit more aggressive.
Thanks! Unfortunately due to a lack of reading on our part, the Rage was misplayed slightly. As someone pointed out, it has to be used on an attacking creature.
Too bad people will buy Balduvian Rage and then realize they can't use it this way: it can only target ATTACKING creatures. :/
please use the music on this video for more videos its great for fun crazy commander games
Larger misplays aside, one thing I think the Feather player could have done a little better is wait until Windgrace's draw step to Path the Oracle. Burgeoning is definitely a dead draw that late in the game. Letting him draw the Burgeoning before allowing him to shuffle his deck definitely limits his possible outs that turn.
My greatest question is why Seb blew up his own carpet of flowers
It's too bad. I was looking forward to both Yuriko and Feather. One didn't get to play anything, and the other misplayed every turn. sad-face
Jamie: I’m playing Magic
you choose your carpet of flowers target everytime it triggers
Yes, Seb only chose Max for the most part.
Man, this game went way longer than it should have lol. Why Max wasn't knocked out after a poorly played Torment of Hailfire is beyond me.
Balduvian Rage can only target an attacking creature.
Yep, that was a misplay on our part. It's what happens when we play a new deck and are still learning it =(
In my LGS there is no one that do not read the opponent card at least 3 times before agreeing with the effect. HAHAHAHAHA
It's good to be aware of what every card does!
I didn’t understand why he blew up his own carpet flower
