Paying 5 to cast a Lotus Petal is an incredible flex. So is paying 1BB+B for Praetor's Grasp -> Dark Ritual. The entire Ad Naus turn was hilarious too.
Omg I don’t know how I missed that. Literally half way through and popped open the comments or I probably wouldn’t have even noticed. Im so used to the random crappy Pokémon card tokens.
With Rhystic and Mystic drawing piles upon piles of cards, and dockside adding jet fuel to the card piles, the power level in the format right now is absolutely nutty Also, gotta love how dockside is so good people started running phantasmal image so they can have a second fucking dockside
Fantastic game! Really great to see a lot of new variance and unexpected plays. Great job editing and making the game easier to follow. Really love it when you get different decks and builds into a game to spice it up.
If mike wouldve searched an underworld breach instead of reanimate, he prob couldve attempted a win on turn 3. Breach, escape dockside, escape diabolic intent, search for ad naus. Gg if no counterspells
I feel like it says something about Thassa's Oracle that a player couldn't find an answer in 31 cards between 14 cards discarded, 14 drawn, and 3 Brainstormed.
Not really, if anything it shows the opposite, since a deck only has to cast it and protect it to win without any further action (and casting and protecting it is something you would have to do for a card anyway), so you can devote the deck entirely to it, and it doesn't have to work with your commander in any way.
@@tibx2617 Sorry about that, but generally it's wise not to look at the comments of a video early, since the comments usually discuss how the video/game went.
i dont know if its too much to ask but could you add some square line around players screen when its their turn also arrows for attacks and interactions
Mind me asking, but Veil of Summer was cast in that weird final turn was it not? "Spells cannot be countered, and of your permeants gains hex proof." What was Tyler trying to find? Only thing that could have stopped that turn ending the match was forcing him to draw one card.
is tyler's ENTIRE deck foil???? or is it the sleeves or his camera? I assume its the sleeves, but idk and i kinda want to know how expensive that deck is bc every single card is some premium version, its gotta be a TON of money

Right. +50. I add in infinite mana and outlet in command zone, heartless hidgetsu and double of damage, indestructible creature and world slayer, etc. The reality is that there is close to one hundred unique legendaries that have one card in the deck that it combos. There is overlap like Kiki jiki, or infinite mana, or food chain, etc. But, you are easily talking about +50 cards that need to be banned.
Opposition Agent only works when the opponents search their own libraries. If they search any library other than their own, Opposition Agent has no effect.
Tyler misplayed by waiting that long to cast his commander. Everything was set for him to burn out his opponents but he gave them too big a window to get their combos together.
Having recently started to use a Kess deck(pact+oracle win-con) in my playgroup- this channel is insanely fun to watch. And my playgroup absolutely HATES playing against me. It’s so fun. Thank you for the ideas!
I never play a game with storm mechanic, is it kept track of every turn by all the players so if someone does happen to cast a card with storm on any turn you know what it is, or how is it kept track of ?
Storm counts every spell cast during the entire turn. If on my upkeep I cast 2 spells and then pass the turn, if you were to cast a storm spell on my end step it would have a storm count of 2.
@@JLH111176 If you have a storm card you have to keep track, some turns it won’t matter. Also if you have a question on the storm count, you could always ask the table what spells were cast this turn
Just curious, why was the Narrator only mentioning when Mike took damage from Nekusar. Were the other players not drawing cards off their Rhystic/Mystic? And a few times narrator missed announcing when Mystic should have triggered earlier in the game
Instead of paying 1 mana, I'll pay 1 comment for this Rhystic showcase tax. If a montage of counter wars happened, this game would be a must include though!
I'm a little confused. With necropotence on the board doesn't any card going go the grave get exiled so he cant keep looping LED with breech? Or am I missing something?
I think it's due to the wording on Agent - "you control your opponents while they're searching their libraries". Grasp searches another player's library, not your own, so isn't affected by Agent.
*dramatic music ramps up* There's no epic battle There's no dust clouding your vision There isn't even anyone dying to combat damage There's just a fish that's out of ideas

The battle of the studies and flusters!

So much interaction wasted to stop an Ad Naus with 12 life 🤣
it still won him the game though
15* life I believe
I agree it’s funny
But his average cmc in the deck is probably like 1.4
So definitely need to stop it
Everyone's talking about the rhystic and mystic, but why's there no mention of how obscene dockside was this game?
I wonder if it's the best card in cEDH. Whenever I can get Dockside shenanigans going I win a huge % of those games.
Triple flusterstorm. What a moment
I'm afraid of no man... but that thing *stack on Zack's win turn*... that thing scares me

The third was all he needed (fortunately).
"just to draw Underworld Breach"
That's usually enough to win
It won the game. Nobody had any responses left to stop the Thassa
