      @@khariperkins4243 I dunno. You can't know more than you do in the moment, and in the moment he made a great political decision which eased the the others into good feels for him, meaning they weren't swinging at him so much. If he'd have put someone to 10, that person would have brought their full wrath on him just to screw him up so another player that isn't Joe can win instead, since they know they likely can't win either because of Joe. Kinda like how Mitch messed up Josh's plans when Josh made him lose during Extra Turns.
      Edit: Also cutting off Jimmy's life later was a great move; cut off the Bolas's Citadel, while being able to also justify it as fair payback for Jimmy attacking the Sorin earlier.

He 'could' have played Kaalia, equipped her and swung with her and another 8+/8+, but later admitted he had no angels, demons or dragons in hand. That's why he had to play new Kaalia instead. So he couldn't have killed Josh at that point, despite his boasts during the interview segment immediately after Joe decided to only plus Sorin.

      Guys, I don't know what you are talking about. He had the whole combo (minus commander) on the table. I am surprised they didn't even mentioned that. Mikaeus + Cruel Celebrant + Vish Kal is a win. That Toxic Deluge saved the game. The reasoning in narration was strange though.

    Is it even an episode of Game Knights if Josh doesn't slam a Cyclonic Rift for the win

      @AdHocWholius 3 года назад +20

      Feels like every time Josh plays blue Cyclonic Rift shows up and wins him the game.
      The episode with him playing Uro was really the limit for my patience, if he's just going to Rift and win every time he plays blue there's not much point in watching when the other decks don't really get a chance to shine.
      This episode Jimmy misplayed hard by putting down the citadel when there's a Sorin on board, he could've been patient and won if he'd passed without putting down the citadel.

      Well other players could also play better cards... Josh is always a bit spikey, it's an open secret that he simply runs efficient cards, Jimmy suiciding himself... it's kinda their shtick.
