@@Flayerthehatebound It's not the same as "if you vape, sell your vape", because magic is just a hobby card game for 99% of its players outside of addictions, so you'll just end up not being able to play the game lmao
When it comes to the two Mommy's being in play a good pseudo-rule that tends to help is "Cant always wins" E.g. You and your opponent both play abyssal persecutor, "You can't win the game and opponents can't lose the game." At that point you are stuck in a deadlock until one of them dies
Some mites, I stay up cashing in my bad luck Some mites, I call it a draw Some mites, I wish that my lips could build a deck Some mites, I wish they'd just fall off
I've been buying out the leftover set boosters of Phyrexia from my LGS and I have to agree, truly stellar art in this set. I've bought 20 of each full art Mana to use because I love the phyrexian language
40:38 Matt's Elish Norn still has -5/-5 from Drews earlier Phyresis Outbreak, so it would have died to the sentinel, not blocked it and killed it. It was a long turn so its pretty common for people to forget lingering turn effects like that.
Hell yeah on the Myst Teleport Soundfx. I was distracted and that sound came on and woke me out of what felt like a 20 year nap lol. I know whoever decided to put that in is going to be looking to see if anyone got that reference...well I appreciated it
I think all will be one was magics like magnum opus. The set they genuinely put the most effort into. Also the story they put the most into. Phyrexians are truly on top I must say.
38:50 the basillica shephard wouldnt have created the mites because of matt’s elesh norn. And if matt’s elelsh wasn’t there, there would be 4 mites because elesh norn comes in at the same time as basillica shephard
With Matt’s idea of having Chase choose his commander for Ria Ivor would have worked because it says “the next time target creature would deal combat damage” and doesn’t give the effect until end of turn it would work for him choosing Matt’s commander and giving him a ton of mites. Somebody has probably pointed this out by now but saying it would have worked.
When I see this set picked I had 2 thoughts: 1. Whoa awesome this is going to be awesome! 🥳🎉 2. With the amount of poison and toxic this will be one of the quickest box brawls ever 😂
I kinda like the idea that the last box battle they all will sub in actual professionals and that is how they determine the "best magic player of all time"
Drew could have ended the game earlier by using Kaito's ability to target the venrated rotpriest, causing it's ability to trigger and adding more poison counters to the other players.
ngl i love that they have someone in the back that probably doesnt play magic because the oil-raised foils could only be pulled from the compleat edition bundles lol. just a small thing that i noticed. loved the video overall
I remember doing a card opening few months back with a different box. 1 pack gave me Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines #1] and the following pack gave Elesh Norn, mother of machines #415. Spent $40 and got $83-$85 between 2 cards
I also started playing MtG recently because i fell in love w the Phyrexians lol I bought a precon and 2 regular packs to get free shipping and got an Atraxa, Grand Unifier Showcase :D
absolutely love this set. great rare lands, dope arts, and an all around great cast of cards. this was the first pre release i went to and i was the only person there who didnt make a poison deck and it was the most aids ive ever experienced in magic
Super inconsequential but Drew overlooked Kaito's +1, it is SO good. Can't block or attack until your next turn. There was almost zero way, on board, he could lose when he board wiped.
Razorverge Thicket enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands. 1 (As it enters) is 2 or fewer. Charlie played the same land, right after him.
Matt, after performing game actions in a completely linear fashion with no complicated "actually, before that happens, I'll do this" stack interactions: "I hate the stack"
like, basically, as a rule of thumb, if you want to just do everything in an entirely linear order, you can. It only gets complicated when you want it to, or when your opponents want to do something in response.
So I was curious and looked up poison counter rules, I just kept seeing that poison counters stay even if the player that inflicted them dies. Did they misplay or are the rules I found incorrect?
Am I the only one who thinks it makes no sense for toxic counters to have the kill numer set at 10 in commander?? It makes perfect sense for it to be 20. So many cards/decks are unplayable just because of this stupid rule... (unplayable because it's to toxic to play against) (pun intended)
It's just not balanced for commander. It's super powerful here where everyone has toxic, but imagine being the only toxic player and trying to stack up 60 poison counters for a win. The argument I hear is that you can easily take out one person but you're the archvillain right off the bat. Sucks to be the guy who gets poisoned and sucks to be the villain just for playing a certain playstyle.
@@Leto_0 It rly isn't hard to get everyone. There are literally cards that are just wincons cuz they turn all ur creature dmg to infect until end of turn. And most infect decks need to be agro so it doesn't matter if u are the arch enemy cuz if you manage to take 2 people out fast the 1v1 is ez. Let's not forget that the decks they made here are brewed on the spot with the cards that find. They are way below average in power level. A good toxic deck takes someone out in the first 3-4 turns cuz of the stupid 10 dmg rule. After that is a 1v2 and if there is no board wipe is gg. And that is if the deck is blatantly obvious. Like I said before, most effective thing to do is to pretend ur just attacking for 10 dmg and then give infect with a spell u delete them.
another more afforable way to do this is split a play booster between 2 people. 4 people for 50-70 dollars each could make a deck for the night and add 18 boosters from the set to their collection. Collector boxes obviously will have a ton more powerlevel because of the 4-5 rare/mythics a pack, but you are talking almost 1k split between 4 ppl vs $200-300.
Oh Magic, this game I love and hate at the same time. Many things get missed but sometimes dont matter in the end. Matt's Elesh Norn should have been dead on the Phyresis Outbreack turn and Drew should have one more creature alive.
thank you to charlie for repping my personal magic experience, just absolutely not drawing a single swamp
I mean it's kinda his own fault for trying to force a 5 color deck in a set with very little mana fixing lol..
This channel keeps my addiction at bay so I can save my money for duskmourn. Thank you gents.
Literally same. Like you said the words I’ve been thinking over the past 3 weeks
Addiction is pretty easy to break if you sell your cards
@@Flayerthehatebound L take
@@Flayerthehatebound Lies. Sold my collection of cards and i completely regret the entire transaction, wasnt magic, but still was tragic.

Charlie: builds a 5-color deck
also Charlie: "Man I was color screwed all game"

Like being stuck in an Escher painting
This feels like a prediction for the future. You will never believe what happened in Tolarian Community College’s most recent game of commander

Phyrexia is one of my favourite sets, I’ve been waiting for this for soooo long and finally it’s here, I’m gonna have a good time watching this!
my favorite member of team skill check is THE "editor"
underappreciated MVP
For the ASMR video, nothing beats the sensual slap of raw, naked cards being slapped down hard on a big, firm table.
Hell yeah on the Myst Teleport Soundfx. I was distracted and that sound came on and woke me out of what felt like a 20 year nap lol. I know whoever decided to put that in is going to be looking to see if anyone got that reference...well I appreciated it
38:00 after a nice discussion on ETBs not taking effect, proceeds to trigger an ETB with elesh still on matts field
He still fixed it.
It is such a different experience when they are playing with your favorite cards.
I think all will be one was magics like magnum opus. The set they genuinely put the most effort into. Also the story they put the most into. Phyrexians are truly on top I must say.
Great content guys. I just get excited when I see new videos of box brawl come up!
Can't wait to see duskmourn. Going to a prerelease event tonight
I went to mine and got 3rd place, good luck!
same, so excited!
@@MetalGamely I got lucky and went to 3 this go around. Placed 2nd, 9th, & 4th respectively.
@@TeeKayBee Nice! hope you had fun.
28:25 Bro’s Phyrexian Accent is impeccable. PRAISE YAWGMOTH!!!
Matt hating on the stack when the interaction he just got talked through doesn't use the stack in any meaningful way - iconic!
38:50 the basillica shephard wouldnt have created the mites because of matt’s elesh norn. And if matt’s elelsh wasn’t there, there would be 4 mites because elesh norn comes in at the same time as basillica shephard
"I tap, I sac, I hate the stack" lol
...
Commander ASMR with the rules + flavour text of cards being read too, would be sick! Bahaha.
Matt was SLAMMING them cards on the table turn one 😂😂😂
Charlie playing the most interestingly bad strat I’ve ever seen.
With Matt’s idea of having Chase choose his commander for Ria Ivor would have worked because it says “the next time target creature would deal combat damage” and doesn’t give the effect until end of turn it would work for him choosing Matt’s commander and giving him a ton of mites. Somebody has probably pointed this out by now but saying it would have worked.
The MYST sound effect at 2:26 hit me right in the CORE MEMORY
How happy chase was for some of these makes me understand why they subbed him in.
When I see this set picked I had 2 thoughts:
1. Whoa awesome this is going to be awesome! 🥳🎉
2. With the amount of poison and toxic this will be one of the quickest box brawls ever 😂
FINALLY THEY WILL EXPERIENCE THE GLORY OF PHYREXIA
Obviously this is too late but the raised oil slick foils can only be found in the compleat bundles.
_"I hate the stack"_
Hate is on the stack. Any responses?
This and March of the machine are my standout sets of 2023
I kinda like the idea that the last box battle they all will sub in actual professionals and that is how they determine the "best magic player of all time"

ngl i love that they have someone in the back that probably doesnt play magic because the oil-raised foils could only be pulled from the compleat edition bundles lol. just a small thing that i noticed. loved the video overall
the intro jumpscared me abit i didnt even have my drink and snacks yet
I remember this set being my first set ever purchasing the collector box. Pulled my first chaser card being the full aet phyrexian foiled Sheoldred.
I remember for my birthday my brother got me a pack of this set, I then proceeded to unpack a step and compleat Sheoldred, the Apocalypse
Who knew sensual card flipping was a thing, thanks Drew

24:13 eyyyyy! My first commander!
I was hoping someone would pull him in this ep
I also started playing MtG recently because i fell in love w the Phyrexians lol I bought a precon and 2 regular packs to get free shipping and got an Atraxa, Grand Unifier Showcase :D
I love the card thwipping, very magic the gathering
Matt’s ellish norn should’ve been dead because when it blocked it had -/- counters from Drew’s spell and it would’ve died from the block.
When Drew attacked after the Phyresis Outbreak, Matt's Elish Norn still had -6/-6.
This went much further than they thought 😂
are these full 100 card decks or a little smaller?
Love this channel and look forward to these Box Brawls!
The oil slick treatment is only available in the Compleat Bundle I believe.
absolutely love this set. great rare lands, dope arts, and an all around great cast of cards. this was the first pre release i went to and i was the only person there who didnt make a poison deck and it was the most aids ive ever experienced in magic
Basically Mat if Charlie where to block the creature at 27:32 you can respond by sacking it to get the ability off.
Watching their upacking of this set reminds me of how I bought a collectors box of this and it whiffed incredibly hard. Big oof.
the dj khaled on the card edit was fire
It's so sad how Matt choosing to not block that one rat and taking an extra poison for no reason cost him the whole game.
The myst sound effect jumpscared me
Do yall sell the playmats or have a merch site?
Yeah, I don't understand anything about the game but it's fun seeing all of you playing it regardless. 😂😂
Super inconsequential but Drew overlooked Kaito's +1, it is SO good. Can't block or attack until your next turn. There was almost zero way, on board, he could lose when he board wiped.
I’m expecting a random 10 minute video of Drew Making card sounds lol
Anyone else notice Matt’s first land was supposed to enter tapped?
Razorverge Thicket enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands. 1 (As it enters) is 2 or fewer. Charlie played the same land, right after him.
Strip, Shock, Sharpie, ASMR commander next please 😂

The intro music slaps every god damn time.
What app are they using to track health?
If I don't like Kibler's ASMR hand card shuffle I will not like anyone else's
Lol whay was that nadu at the start 😂
I freaking love Phyrexia, my all time fave set. I thought BloomBurrow would surpass it but can't. I love Toxic so much
Charlie scores a philosophical victory.
Rigged
Poor Charlie looks like he's never having a good time lol
You guys should add numbers to the episodes to make it easier to track in the future when you have a ton of episodes
Can not wait for Duskmourn box battle
Can we make it a rule that Drew cannot touch his hand unless it's his turn?
So I was curious and looked up poison counter rules, I just kept seeing that poison counters stay even if the player that inflicted them dies. Did they misplay or are the rules I found incorrect?
Gonna keep it real with you guys, when drew slow flicked his cards it make me physically anger
It makes me nervous as my group does that if they have a good hand
The asmr is valid asf 😂
Get your bets in for next time: How many Jace the Mind Sculptors will they pull?
Are they playing multiple of the same card? so just a standard deck but with a commander?
You can only get oil slick raised foil in the complete packs sadly
I was hoping you guys were going to actually be toxic to each other as a joke but this is fine too. Could have easily been a 30 minute game tops.
These intros are awesome. Who makes them?
shoutouts to the og myst noise
Chase bieng summoned like mahoraga😂
what is the app you are using for counting life totals?

where can i buy the play mats they are using?
That Junji Ito card is so sick 😮
2:25 Am I fuckin crazy or is Chase phasing into existence a reference to the game Myst? That sound effect is so familiar for some reason
another more afforable way to do this is split a play booster between 2 people. 4 people for 50-70 dollars each could make a deck for the night and add 18 boosters from the set to their collection. Collector boxes obviously will have a ton more powerlevel because of the 4-5 rare/mythics a pack, but you are talking almost 1k split between 4 ppl vs $200-300.
what size are those playmats?
Can't wait to see scars of mirrodin
love the intro
Yo here for the vibes
Immaculate as always.
how much are the skill check mats?
They should make a one piece set so Charlie can truly go broke
Any chance for some flesh and blood tcg on here. It’s what I am learning to play !!?
Oh Magic, this game I love and hate at the same time. Many things get missed but sometimes dont matter in the end. Matt's Elesh Norn should have been dead on the Phyresis Outbreack turn and Drew should have one more creature alive.
love the channel!
I'm relatively new to the channel but I'd love see an Un sets commander game
I know I missed it somewhere: whats the app they're using for life and such?
Lifetap
A) Angry. Sorry, Drew. Love everything else you do.
if matt full swung at drew, he could have tied with chase for 2nd
What’s the app they use on the tablet to keep track of health?
