The controller of a trample creatures can assign excess damage to blocking creatures. So throwing a single creature in the way can stop the damage is players want to team up.
Great content! My only recommendation is reducing the number of mics. Two(one on either end of the table) should help with the weird echoing effect. That, disabling split audio(make left and right audio the same), and monitoring your audio input levels should help give you a better, more even audio.
Is there not a misplay in game 2, when Jeska is cast by Kyle, does it not enter at 0 loyalty, and instantly die to no loyalty? As there commander has not been cast from command zone at all this game? ( I could be wrong but I believe that is what would happen)
You are 100% correct. Not sure how we missed that. Maybe the back to back games made us think he already cast Alexios. Either way, thanks for watching and great catch.
@@Thingsintheice Always a fun watch, and hey we all make these kinds of mistakes within our play groups :D you guys just happen to have an extra few thousand sets of eyes on yours :D always great watches, keep it up :D
Game One, Turn 1, Rog/Si could have gone (besides going for Ad Naus, like someone else commented) Land, crack it for a black source, Rog, Culling the Weak, Sol Ring, Wishclaw, LED, Wheel of Fortune (ruining the other two players opening hands), and still had three mana left over for a Wishclaw activation/casting his new hand of seven/recasting Rograkh
Rogsi player coulda send a turn one naus and didn't 😢. Culling for 4, sol ring to 5, cast wishclaw to 3, activate and crack led back up to 5, cast naus
@@Thingsintheice also the kenrith player could have developed chrome mox arcane signet and have a fish in play by playing land chrome mox dark ritual dt for fish into arcane signet fish
The same is true for Karn in the second match. Scince the ruling state "Alexios can attack planeswalkers its owner controls and battles its owner protects", maybe planeswalkers aren't the best addition to Alexios' list. But maybe they still are, Karn and Jeska are simply powerful. Edit: Nevermind. Wrote the comment before you talked about it.
@@TETTAhatHunger The attack on Karn was technically a misplay. Because Alexios was goaded from the Impetus, it specifically would have had to attack a player.
In game 1, Agatha's Soul Couldron does not let you use colorless mana to activate Kinnan. In order colorless mana is a different type of mana than colored mana. To see this distinction look to the rulings on Gonty canny acquisitor from outlaws of thunder junction.
I think there may be a bit of confusion with these cards. Agatha allows you to spend MANA as though it were MANA OF ANY COLOR to activate abilities of creatures you control. That means the infinite colorless mana can be used as though it were blue or green or colorless mana to activate Kinnan.
not sure what you're talking about here, Agatha's Soul Cauldron has text that does allow you to use colorless to activate abilities that cost colored mana.
@@joedoe7572 It's not a ruling. Agatha's Soul Cauldron has text on it that says "You may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to activate abilities of creatures you control."

Thanks for the tip. We recently just switched to rode lav mics, and we are working out the kinks.
Great video, lots of fun!

Gotta work on your audio, great content otherwise!! Keep rocking y'all!
does the alexios have a good ramp rituals and rocks?
and does the alexios have the Redirect spells?
Can you please keep cards that were cast on-screen for double that fraction of a second, please?
For sure, I'll try to keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.
@@Thingsintheicemost of them were fine as is, but some of them were only on screen for a fraction of a second
@@joedoe7572I agree other then that I love the content
Game 2 Jeremy or Shaun could have chosen to attack the jeska with alexios in order to better spread the damage around
Yeah, we realize it a little later in the game. Good catch!
Yeah I felt like an idiot after finally realizing that

@@ze_skwerl thanks! I missed the goading
Alexios is far worse than slicer. You simply don't trample over blockers
Though many players don’t know that rule OR more often, don’t care enough to try to work together and apply all damage to chump.
You don’t double strike over blockers either

What ruling are you talking about? I looked, and I don't know what ruling you mean

Guy with the red watch is really annoying. Screaming all the time and making too much noise...

Or would be better to not give the mic to the noise guy 😂
