@@BobardeZanzibar They are usually adamant about not playing many in multicolored decks. In monocolored, you have to try real hard to not have basic lands.
Richard has such greedy galaxy brain takes about deckbuilding. The group almost always lets him get away with it, so it's great to see it published for once.
Everyone should play Temur land destruction ramp control every week. It's so awesome. If only he had played a splendid reclamation after. Absolutely hilarious deck. Honestly, I'm not sure why no one called out Crim for having a Fierce Guardianship on turn 3. He literally never plays his commander out without protection. We know this from hand cameras in the past.
@josephpayton7522 True. I was more confused how no one else would destroy his Omenpath to lose him those 5 lands. But seeing Richard play mono-black and not have basics was priceless. :)
I like how the Discourse all week from Seth was "How can we punish ramp?" and Seth shows up, ramps like crazy, and then gets immediately punished. Props to Crim, that was hilarious.
The game would have gone significantly longer if everyone else hadnt auto-scooped... I'm happy to see Richard and Phil get punished for once, but dont act like Crim did something special. The moron is only playing 3 basics in his own deck
Punishing greedy mana bases is the best way to make people play basics. Playing a Loot deck and running things that punish your opponents' lands (Blood Moon, Back to Basics)😊 on top of cards like Choke, Ruination, and Quicksilver Fountain to further keep them off of Mana would be super dope
Yes, the Ruination-Play was awesome. But the mana reduction from Doc Aurlock made such a huge impact, i couldn't keep up with how much mana Crim saved.
How do the tri color decks have more basics after a ruination than the mono black deck, why is Richard running crypt ghast if he isn’t gonna play swamps?
Such a satisfying Ruination. See it, yet? MLD has been gaslit out of the format by greedy players. Kaalia was at one point feared because the point was to establish a board presence and then to blow up other players' lands and thus their ability to respond. Green's "ability to rebuild" would be irrelevant, because the point would be to use your established board to smack the green player out of the game while they were stuck scrambling. It works this way in vintage-legacy as well. Tempo-aggro is wholly viable in non-CEDH if you actually affect the board prior to turn 5, and you make use of the zillions of counters, board protection, or death-trigger effects to deal with board wipes and apply continual pressure to greedy, all-in decks. The fog meta falls apart when you aren't relying wholesale on alpha strikes as your sole wincons, but you have to actually build the deck to apply pressure and interact. Even in CEDH, Winota and Edric and so-on show that if you build it properly, the strat can work (even if there the commanders do carry hard).
I have a lot of decks with expensive mana bases and I always tell new players to pick up cards that can attack my mana base instead of buying a bunch of expensive dual lands. It's a good budget equalizer if your a new player.
So happy to see someone finally punished for building extremely heavy utility land heavy deckbuilding in monocolored deck. More Ruination in general. For everyone. Even Seth and Phil sometimes have a lot of utility lands in their 2/3 colors deck
Ooops, I dropped my basic hate card list! Wave of Vitriol From the Ashes Ruination Anathemancer Burning Earth Price of Progress Price of Progress Price of Progress Price of Progress Anathemancer Fuck it! even back to basics and blood moon

I support all of richards crazy takes, but him getting dumpstered was pretty hilarious. Also these comments all hailing crim as the hero are pretty great. Looks like LD back on the menu boys
I love the new format for videos being able to see the board state more clearly and all around feels more natural but i also miss the 1hr+ games that MTGO would give us. I work in a factory and i would actually put my ear buds in and listen to the old games like a podcast while i worked and i cant really do that with these cause they start and end so quick now. Either way i live the content and the channel keep up the good work guys!
This one is a little shorter than we want. It was like 1.5 hours unedited, if we had realized it would end up 30 minutes we would have done a game two.
@MTGGoldfishCommander No problem I really don't have a problem with the new style and short form content it probably does better numbers anyway for retention and stuff I get it! Still love the content you guys put out
JUDGE!! ^_^ @ 4:45 - Y'all were right about there not being Yavimaya, but Sakura-tribe is a basic only and Seth didn't have any basics. (also I realized today in a white deck, you can play a fetch turn 1 and 2, waiting to crack both on turn two and cast Brought Back to double ramp, and then do it again on turn 3 with Ewit/Skullwinder).
So it was funny to see what happened in game. But I do wish that there had been a game two running back the decks cause no one else really did much of anything. Was looking forward to seeing Felix in action.
Kinda crazy that Richard only has 5 basics in a MONO COLORED DECK. I get wanting utility lands but once he played og urborg I feel like he was just trying to make field of the dead work lol
Who knew MODO errors and mis-clicks were the only thing stopping the tyranny of Crim from taking over Commander Clash? I mean, I think we all knew for the most part, but it's still pretty startling to watch.

@@singularleaf3895oh no I hate it too, I’m just say it’s for sure in his deck because why wouldn’t he with the already atrocious and poorly thought out mana base.
I'd love to see a command podcast where you guys talk about/rank the staples of commander. Should we actually be playing Solemn Sim? Do you run rampant growth, natures _I forget_ and three visits all in one deck? Or do you only need 1/2 of them? If you played every staple, every deck would look the same.....so staples can't exactly be staples, right?
Loot looks like a meme character, but he just sent the rest of the table home in a matchbox. This game was won just through the disparity in resource generation, and Crim having more cards at his disposal than anybody else at the table.
He even played a card that let him search for a basic or a cave, and he chose echoing deeps instead of a basic. Would it have kept him in the game? Probably not, but he might have been able to play something else before the end of the game if he had
It's cathartic to see someone playing only 5 basics in their mono colored deck get blown out so hard
Only Richard could lose everything to a Ruination in a monocolored deck
Wait, doesn't everyone besides Tomer say they play roughly the same amount of basics?
It was pretty funny

Only running 5 basics in mono colour, that is kinda on him anyways :D
Maximum punished. We need to see ruination every game
@@Mensch777 and in black the color that repays you the most to run basics!
if you're in monoblack and not running a ton of swamps you're being kinda dumb. it has HUGE payoffs for swamps
So it's good cop, bad cop
Good cop - Tomer "you should run more basics"
Bad cop - Crim "you were told to run more basics"
LOL
Crim expecting hate and getting praised here is hilarious. Richard ate it good this week, wish we saw more of Kellan, I wanna try building him.
Crim is the hero that gotham deserved today, finally punishing the abuse of the social contract.
5 swamps in mono black? Come on man 😂

yhea somehow it worked for him, I would play more basics in that kind of deck, also obliterate ...

16:13 HE DID IT HE REALLY DID IT

Proof that land destruction doesn't make games go longer, if you build your deck around them. Good job Crim! Love to see the Pika-loot win

This 3 player pod was a real change of pace I wonder what happened to Richard I swear I saw him in the intro
Sorry Richard, but that blowout was entirely your own fault
Well deserved
Just adding to the cascade of comments praising the Ruination play from Crim. Crim reminding the crew that running greedy mana bases comes with risks.

Comments got me so excited for Crim this game! Bringing quality gameplay!
Loot reminds me more of a Digimon more than a Pokémon lol
Only 30 mins...turns out mtgo was the hero we needed this whole time...that and wraths.
I love the paper gameplay even though I mostly play mtgo myself but I do miss the hour and a half videos sometimes haha
Def miss the longer videos. And seeing their hands
I mean when the games were only an hour and a half cause mtgo is a back program
Just goes to show how much of that time was slowly cycling through turns and animations
But they also aggressively edit this. Part of the charm of commander clash was enjoying them shooting the shit and whatnot. Lot less chatter nowadays
Crim all the love from the play more basics community!
Seth has never seen a panharmonicon he didn't like.
We love you Crim for playing Pikachu and LD!
Hell yeah, Felix Five-Boots! Great character & card. Thanks for the video!
Legend has it that Seth is still there counting the lands in his graveyard muttering "Crim... CRIMMMMMM"
The best episode of the last 2 years. Nice decks, nice editing. I wish I could get another episode with these decks
I’m a dyed in the wool green player but god bless crim in his effort to normalize LD
So it was funny to see what happened in game. But I do wish that there had been a game two running back the decks cause no one else really did much of anything. Was looking forward to seeing Felix in action.
Richard got to watch one person play magic and watch two others slowly drown.
I miss the longer games and the double game videos. But good game this week everyone.
Ruination is based but sad because I’m 99% sure Seth and Richard will change nothing and complain😅
Love and support for Crim. Ramp is ubiquitous and pushed, are we supposed to ignore it?
Damn that was a sick pop off.
Greedy mana bases need to have a downside. Crim doing the lords work.
I definitely sent this game to people from my play group. What a fun episode. Was surprised to find myself so excited to see Ruination resolve 😂
2:40 For 1 second just 1 second, I thought Crim was going to blow up Richard's single land. 😆
Say what you want Crim is the ultimate proof and reason on why one should play more basics in a deck.

This was such a banger episode. MLD actually sped the game up which was very interesting to see.
Astronaut gun meme: it always has
If you build the deck correctly it always will
That's not true it just turned the game into solitaire cause it removed 2 players out of the game. MLD is always trash
Crim is channeling my inner spirit with the MLD.
