      Everyone knows that dolphins are aquatic dahmer and have a racist blood feud with porpoises

    • @nycstreetpoet
      @nycstreetpoet 5 месяцев назад +10

      I’m pretty sure that comment was on porpoise. (How can I not resist a dolphin joke here?) I am a layperson familiar with animals, and am well aware of the fact that dolphins are mammals.

    • @Corvus-fw2hr

      Not fish but extremely sexually inappropriate. They’re a problem.

  • @ImpossibilitySpace
    @ImpossibilitySpace 5 месяцев назад +57

    For the specific infinite combo, Ben really had just the right set up.
    You need Sporoloth Ancient and another Thallid both of which have at least two spore counters and one of which has at least 3. Then, assuming the minimum required 2 and 3 spore counters, the two creatures will bounce between having 2 and 3 each iteration of the cycle.

    • @Halinn
      @Halinn 5 месяцев назад +15

      It can also work without the ancient, just needs three thallids. Intruder Alarm is a fair and balanced magic card.

    • @ishtarsdonut4489
      @ishtarsdonut4489 4 месяца назад +1

      It's worth mentioning that as long as Ezuri was on the battlefield it wasn't actually infinite, but Ezuri could be sacrificed to Xavier Sal, so it didn't matter too much.

    • @ImpossibilitySpace
      @ImpossibilitySpace 4 месяца назад +1

      Well, with Slimefoot out and Eilidh at 17, as long as Ben has more cards in his library than 17, the result is the same whether Ezuri is out or not.

    @BriggsMullen 5 месяцев назад +44

    I like how Serge leaned over Ojer Axonil to read the card slowly and got it wrong. It only increases damage to opponents. Engagement! 😆

    • @shennanners
      @shennanners Месяц назад

      Uhh, not gonna lie, it feels like he straight-up cheated there, especially when he was reading it outright, little pause before the damage condition... feels icky.

    Something about the way the thallid loop was being demonstrated was reminding me of the TikTok of the guy who keeps buying Hoisin sauce.

    Haven’t been able to watch Hijinx as much as I would like to due to a number of reasons and I’ve gotta say, this one felt special. The live aspect, the Lrr guests and the delightful banter really made my day. Been feeling down about Magic for a bit now and you reminded me why I love it in the first place. Thank you all for it ❤

    @matt1631-l5x 5 месяцев назад +6

    I don't think the Ojer Axonil damage was done correctly, or I've been playing my Axonil deck with training wheels this entire time. I think only the face damage to Eilidh would have been modified. The damage to the commander and other creature would have only been 1. I think this is the case because of the "to an opponent" wording. Mainly commenting so someone can correct me and I can play my Axonil deck with full power.

    35:47 Serge be like: "oh yeah lemme read that card...mhm...non-combat damage to an( opponent)y target...well well well, heckin good card i got there" (the gods are hard i know, but the fact he reads, points at it looks at it and then does it wrong is pretty funny BUT we got a more interesting game out of it than just Eilidh mopping the floor with poor Ben (cool infinite btw))

    @isaiahwelch8066 5 месяцев назад

    I just love the fact Commander now has a legendary creature for a deck I used to play back in OG Time Spiral block called, "The Thallid Shooter." The name is based off of an old "As Seen On TV" product called "Salad Shooter."
    "It slices! It dices! It even makes Julien fries!"
    Kids these days will never know the joys of insomnia at 3 am, wanting to watch TV, only to have an infomercial come on before the TV station went off for the night. 😅

    • @jamesblair5863
      @jamesblair5863 5 месяцев назад

      I thought that was the "Ginsu" knife. The Salad Shooter was a different infomercial. Whatever.

    • @isaiahwelch8066
      @isaiahwelch8066 5 месяцев назад

      @@jamesblair5863 : I was being a bit facetious, lol. I mean, how many people really ever took claims on TV that literally sounded 'too good to be true'?
      Then you get the product in question, and it would seem to me to be a bit anticlimactic, given even the exorbitant prices back in the 1990s.
      I mean, who paid "5 easy payments of $19.95" for something not even worth one of those payments? It's kind of why I look at cards like Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe like they are those late-night infomercials, because unlike compulsory taxes, paying the 1 or paying the 2 seems more like you shouldn't be buying the infomercial thing, but you buy it anyway.
