It is good to know Richard's renowned skill is not actually politics, but just straight up mindcontrol. "Hey Seth, could you nuke your own board, kill my two opponents, and have 1 card left in hand?" "Why yes, no problem!"
Fogs are such incredible troll cards. You let the person waste 5 minutes thinking of their alpha strikes, doing math, making deals, getting people mad, and then you just blank it all lmao
I always felt like whenever a Commander player brought up draw-hate plus wheels they were just capping to defend the fact they want to greedily draw a million cards. Glad to see Phil confirm those suspicions.
The Dune Movie Deck hardest part is picking your Shai-Hulud. I like Novablast Wurm even though a boardwipe attacker is terrible in go-wide, because his passing really does cleanse the earth.
This first game proves that either Richard is truly Muad'dib and can see the future, or that the crew truly just wants to hand him the game because everyone is afraid of killing the codfather lol.
Phils play style is straight up what has started Crim on his vigilante arc. Fancy thinking it is cool to draw 15 cards a rotation but then being happy to lose just to get rid of a player for stopping that. Ohh, Nice Sheoldred for a follow up.
Gollum is not a goblin. He is a Stoor, one of the three kinds of Hobbits. He is also twisted by the One Ring unnaturally extending his life far beyond what it should be (much like how the Ring-Wraiths were once Men)
@@burningpapersun1 no, goblins in Middle-Earth are orcs that come from the Misty Mountain, so they are the decedents of the Elves that were captured by Morgoth and tortured and twisted into the original orcs.
@@ThePlayer4our or you're Crim, kept trying to deflect every time he did something that someone wanted to deal with. and would you look at the result Crim dies first when he can't deflect every card he plays and card he draws as "i just have lands" while holding counterspells, removal, and wincons.
I think it's telling that in zero politics week Crim dies first twice. Also I love the deck Phil build, I have to play that myself. That looked like fun.
Lots of comments on the all politics video last week said it was their favourite episode. But to me, this was miles ahead of that. Happy to see Phil doing Phil things and not dying turn 6.
So, Crim played the mirror on his three opponents, and none of them liked it. They all wanted to draw more than one card; they all wanted to play stax spells; Crim just benefitted from those things instead of the original player who attempted to. In the end, Crim really wasn't the threat. The other players brought the threat and didn't like it aimed back at themselves! Phil just got so angry at all the stax pieces, but on his next turn after Crim lost, he was literally giggling about running out his own stax pieces! Crim, how do you stay so calm showing up to play commander so often just to be killed early? It's like each game, you start by saying, "How many turns can I last this time?" GG, bro! GG!
If you play notion thief to steal card draw & can’t defend yourself you die. Creatures coming into play tapped stops nobody from playing magic. On the other hand strangling/stealing the tables card draw in an asymmetrical effect does. If you play significant stax pieces you get targeted. Stax players should embrace the heat (as Crim has) or take out their stax pieces.
Crimmm I gotta know. What rarity is your Baby Dragon? I think given that the text is glowing its either the Ultra Rare or the Secret but it's hard to tell from camera distance.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Crim plays Breach the Multiverse, couldn't Phil have done something along this line: Crim: Plays Breach, gets Notion Thief plus three other creatures. Phil: Orders triggers from compost and Faerie Artisan so he gets his own copy of Notion thief (Assuming this works since Crim's stolen creatures technically come in at the same time). Crim: Crim's Notion Thief triggers off Phil's Compost triggers, thus triggering Phil's Notion Thief copy to steal the draws back. Since Notion thief's replacement effects only work once per instance of card draw, Phil still would have gotten his Compost triggers. I'm not a judge and I'm not critiquing how anyone played the game, I just think about these things.
He could have done this, yes, however he only got to keep one of the copies because Faerie Artisans, and he wanted a Void Winnower more than a notion thief when everyone was already afraid of drawing
They are playing "try not to choke and give the game to Richard" and are failing every single time The moment Seth said "I'll kill Crim and Phill" I knew Richard had won
I wonder if Richard will read the Dune books and see how he feels when Paul's son becomes a psychic human sandworm hybrid emperor who marries his sister. Shit gets wild.
Cool cool a video of exactly how commander should be played imo. Idk why but politicing to me kinda just feels scummy. Players should just be able to look at board states and find the threat themselves
Seriously Crim , Whats about keep showing your random grudge for saying clash on and being helpful to people and yourself and just say clash on, in another language each game? I think we heard your point of not wanting to said it. It begin to be unsavory and straight up disrespectful for cohesion ...
Elish Norn shouldn’t have been able to attack, entered tapped from authority also she didn’t have haste 46:23, also at 50:41 Phil would have gained 24 life
This would have been a lot more interesting if there weren't the cute jokes and wink and nods towards politics but if there actually was a good faith effort to not do politics. I think the games would have played very differently. Still, cool decks all around.
Council of four only triggers for the player who's turn it is. If you have the Council and draw your second card on an opponent's turn it wont trigger.
Yet another game where Richard does nothing for the first half of the game and then wins. When will the group realize to not let Richard just sit there and hoard resources.
What was stopping Phil's tokens created by Faerie Artisans from being exiled? Whenever someone casts a new creature the old ones are gone. Was I missing something?
It's when a creature etbs, not when it is cast, so Richard's Elesh Norn prevents the Faerie Artisans from triggering. Since making a new token and exiling the old one is all part of the same trigger, Elesh Norn also prevents Phil from getting rid of his old tokens, basically locking them in as long as Elesh Norn remains
It is good to know Richard's renowned skill is not actually politics, but just straight up mindcontrol.
"Hey Seth, could you nuke your own board, kill my two opponents, and have 1 card left in hand?"
"Why yes, no problem!"
He used the Voice
@@tiavu572 Lisan al Gaib......
That play was so confusing…
@@ondrejprochazka8486 He thought he could kill everybody and didn't check the math.
"Would you kindly hand me the game?"
I like Phil's "dead" token, with the little sad face :)
No politics week AKA Phil week.
Richard missed that elesh norn enters tapped because of the authority of consuls. Maybe seth would have lived but not too sure.
He put it into play at instant speed with chord of calling at Seth's end step
Of course Richard would cut a deal on no politics week
The amount of Authority of the consuls triggers Phil missed is crazy. lol
Richard's Elesh Norn prevented the Authority from triggering.
The best commander show
I love Mandate of Peace. It catches so many people off guard
So you’re playing like me and my playgroup no politics just play our deck whoever wins just wins how magic should all be played
9:00 missed opportunities to say trouble in Plagiarism
Fogs are such incredible troll cards. You let the person waste 5 minutes thinking of their alpha strikes, doing math, making deals, getting people mad, and then you just blank it all lmao
Crim i dont think saying "not politics but" then politiking is how this was supposed to work
Phil being worried about politicking on accident when his only politicking id usually pleading to not get killed on turn 6
Richard literally built a DIY field of the dead deck
i need a video compilation of all of Crim's Magic lingo. "Watery Dave" absolutely killed me.
whats everyone's favorite. i never say meathook anymore, it's meatball massacre for me every time
Weenie Hut Jr
I like Stubby D for Stubborn Denial
@@alaraplatt8104 Cacapony Shrimp gets me every time.
I’m also partial to Unholy Meat.
Chicken nugget
One of the things I've missed the most about the old format was all the off-topic conversations you'd have. Glad to have some in this game.
*Seth casts Blasphemous Act*
Richard: "This is an extermination. They're picking my family off one by one."
Watching them try to not accidentally politic is hilarious
Richard not running impact tremors seems criminal, it also fits with the Dune theme perfectly.
Warleaders call is a little on theme as well
@@taylorjohnson5148 agreed and it’s in the deck, so playing impact tremors basically doubles the chance of drawing it.
"This is not politics, but..." Week
I always felt like whenever a Commander player brought up draw-hate plus wheels they were just capping to defend the fact they want to greedily draw a million cards. Glad to see Phil confirm those suspicions.
The Dune Movie Deck hardest part is picking your Shai-Hulud. I like Novablast Wurm even though a boardwipe attacker is terrible in go-wide, because his passing really does cleanse the earth.
I like Argothian Wurm
The worst part about this series is it only happens once per week :(
Awesome episode!
This first game proves that either Richard is truly Muad'dib and can see the future, or that the crew truly just wants to hand him the game because everyone is afraid of killing the codfather lol.

Seth’s lack of LotR movie knowledge after seeing the movies is staggering.
It's a Goblin!
@@MTGGoldfishCommander He is as much goblin as panharmonicon is a radio.
All you really need to know is that the ghost people come in and save the day.
Gollum is not a goblin. He is a Stoor, one of the three kinds of Hobbits. He is also twisted by the One Ring unnaturally extending his life far beyond what it should be (much like how the Ring-Wraiths were once Men)
thank you, i came to say the same thing.
Sounds like a goblin to me
@@burningpapersun1 no, goblins in Middle-Earth are orcs that come from the Misty Mountain, so they are the decedents of the Elves that were captured by Morgoth and tortured and twisted into the original orcs.
I feel like its almost objectively right to just kill phil every game from the outset. He plays all gas and no removal.
No politics seems difficult
Only hard if you can't handle your opponents
@@ThePlayer4our or you're Crim, kept trying to deflect every time he did something that someone wanted to deal with. and would you look at the result Crim dies first when he can't deflect every card he plays and card he draws as "i just have lands" while holding counterspells, removal, and wincons.
Phil can't help but politic against himself 🙄
That first game was an emotional roller coaster. What a game
I think it's telling that in zero politics week Crim dies first twice.
Also I love the deck Phil build, I have to play that myself. That looked like fun.
Lots of comments on the all politics video last week said it was their favourite episode. But to me, this was miles ahead of that. Happy to see Phil doing Phil things and not dying turn 6.
Seth shuffling, tapping mana, and upside down lands hurt my ocd
Seth's Azusa proxy/token/playmats when?
Anyone says anything
Everyone else: THAT'S POLITICS!
On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" pure anarchy! Will Richard produce harmony among the sands or will Seth just burn it all down? Tune-in to find out!
Poor Phil, so many missed authority of consuls triggers
Richard's Elesh Norn shut down the Authority triggers.
@@mxzedvI was wondering if it did
Richard's Dune deck playing a SNOW creature is a serious flavor fail.
So, Crim played the mirror on his three opponents, and none of them liked it. They all wanted to draw more than one card; they all wanted to play stax spells; Crim just benefitted from those things instead of the original player who attempted to. In the end, Crim really wasn't the threat. The other players brought the threat and didn't like it aimed back at themselves!

@@TravisCloud-t6h This guy understood what I was saying.
I mean phil and tomer also both get hated out early too quite a bit.
Crim plays like a gigachad, if he is staxing someone he accepts it and repercussions that brings
“Domain expansion? I thought that was a modern deck?...” -Seth probably better known as Saffron Olive 2024
Crim flashing those yu-gi-oh cards hit me like a truck of ptsd from 15 years ago😂
Why did Phil's dragon make treasures if Richard prevented its damage?
I think he had two from both the fairy artisans
Im just waiting for the day to watch a video and crim has a full beard lol
Objective: Failed Catastrophically
lets gooooo best commander channel on yt
Crim definitely said words, and I understood about 10% of them this week. lol
Richard's winrate this season its just insane
Crimmm I gotta know. What rarity is your Baby Dragon? I think given that the text is glowing its either the Ultra Rare or the Secret but it's hard to tell from camera distance.
Who knew that Phil would be just as bad as not politiking as he is at politiking1
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Crim plays Breach the Multiverse, couldn't Phil have done something along this line:

0:24 Ironic to play the Dune deck in the zero politics game lmao
Gollum isn't a goblin, it's a kithkin
Satoru the infiltrator looks so much like Todo in the showcase art
Correction the Chancellor gives you the Goblin on the first upkeep not your first upkeep.
I though Dune was boring and lame tbh
Hi ! Does anyone has Richard's list for dune deck ?
They are always in the article in the description www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/commander-but-with-zero-politics-commander-clash-s16-e18
They are playing "try not to choke and give the game to Richard" and are failing every single time
The moment Seth said "I'll kill Crim and Phill" I knew Richard had won
I wonder if Richard will read the Dune books and see how he feels when Paul's son becomes a psychic human sandworm hybrid emperor who marries his sister. Shit gets wild.
Wow. I knew that Dune had some things, but geez.
Phil missed so much life gain from authority xD
Elesh norn
Cool cool a video of exactly how commander should be played imo. Idk why but politicing to me kinda just feels scummy. Players should just be able to look at board states and find the threat themselves
If I was Seth. I wouldn’t have cast the DARKNESS, just to not help Richard

Zero politics, but politics topic is brought up every turn LOL
Loving Crim's Geto & Gojo commander. I made JJK alters for a bunch of my commanders as well!
Council of four only triggers for the player who's turn it is. If you have the Council and draw your second card on an opponent's turn it wont trigger.
god seths accent is so strange the way he speaks just grills my gears a little lmao. "Commayneder claash" "sooper big creatures"
I can’t believe Richard played a dune deck like 2 weeks after I made mine, dune sweep baby
The new Dune movie is good but don't read the book it sucks. The Fallout show is fantastic.
45:36 ❤❤ hazezon is fine. YUMA is better with CATACLYSM.
For once I agree with Richard.....
Dune part 2 is the greatest film ever made.
Wouldn't phil have gained a bunch of life from the samd warriors entering?
44:05 seth I recognize that ancient copper dragon from your unboxing video xD
Phil kissing his card after Crim’s stax were gone is such a sweet view. Ggs.
That Dune themed deck was crazy as hell- too fun!
Weird see "no politics" since in my playgroup nobody plays doing politics.
Yet another game where Richard does nothing for the first half of the game and then wins.
When will the group realize to not let Richard just sit there and hoard resources.
They've killed him quite early in the last few weeks.
Richard won the first match cuz he was SANDbagging
Phil missed 2 token triggers? Decayed zombie and dragon?
22:29 The atomics of House Atreides hitting the Shield Wall
Phil's deck seems great, can I find the decklist anywhere?
47:27 does Elesh turn off opponents authority of the council?
I need those dune token now. WHERE CAN I FIND THEM.
Tomer would have been too OP on the no politicking episode.
What was stopping Phil's tokens created by Faerie Artisans from being exiled? Whenever someone casts a new creature the old ones are gone. Was I missing something?
It's when a creature etbs, not when it is cast, so Richard's Elesh Norn prevents the Faerie Artisans from triggering. Since making a new token and exiling the old one is all part of the same trigger, Elesh Norn also prevents Phil from getting rid of his old tokens, basically locking them in as long as Elesh Norn remains
Finally, someone's taking politics out of games
😋
Authority of counsuls life gain totally ignored
"is gollum a goblin"
*lotr nerd screaming intensifies*
Quick someone make the satoru a little more realistic with some scissors
Richard is on a magic card. Look at Jiang Yanggu.
How silly of Seth to think Gollum is a goblin, he's clearly a dwarf.
I need to see Richards deck list, for Reasons.
Richard, you know what you did. This is a NO POLITICS game and you played a Dune deck, which is the most political story ever told
It's only Stax if my opponent plays it, lol.
Can we get the images of Crim's proxies?
The way Seth taps his lands tilts me off the earth
Is it me or is Phil missing life gain triggers from the authority since he played it?
Elesh
Noticed Phil missed the decayed zombie triggers a few times unless Void Winnower turns those off?
