What was that spell vetoed at 12:06 or so?

Those draws man. Is mono black midrange favored in this matchup despite deeproot pilgrimage, or is it normally a rough matchup for mono black?

Idc what anyone says, those Swamps are gorgeous and iconic.

🤦‍♂️

I'm dying to see how this deck is against anything but the UW Control deck. It seems like anytime Nine Lives is posted he is playing G. Haha 😂

Do you have the deck list of the waste not with shrieking affliction?

29:17 Vein ripper's dies ability does not trigger, as RIP replaces death triggers into exile.

On the deluge at the end, you take 2 spells to have one discarded by the duress, take a land and a spell and you end up with 1 more land in hand. Lets you cast deluge at the end for verdict.

At the end of the game the Deluge would have been worth keeping. On 7 lands, digging 4 deep gives the chance at Land+Verdict.

6:09-7:04 is some slow play there.

Lol honestly matt at this point it really is a meme that you flood hard or foget shelly triggers cuz i think it happens atleast once a video. Gotta say i like the bankbuster. Didnt think about it before

You had leather 22:53 black had the game. If you tap your lands better you cast the trespasser with the colorless land leaving you three black. Drops him to 10. Crew the buster with her. Swing out puts him under three. Tap three black make him draw three lose three game.

Invoke despair in game 2 resolved incorrectly, as part of resolution the entire text should be done before state based actions are checked which means the oppo could sac ensoul to the spell.

Could you use regenerate in a Braids, Arisen Nightmare commander deck? Say if I used her ability on a regenerated creature, would the rest of the effect still work or no

I think the jund player accidentally sneaked a land into play at 2:10

U guys could put the decklist here ?

Man that was painful to watch. Not field of ruining the Castle Locthwain and allowing the opponent to draw multiple cards, going shields down with Teferi on 7 loyalty to cast deluge, then not flashing back deluge in response to rider to look for a counterspell to protect Teferi on 8 loyalty.

4:10 do you think it was a misplay not veto’ing the thoughtsieze to have the chance of main phasing emperor to exile the massacre girl?

The Jund player should've lost as soon as you played the second Shelly. He drew four cards and didn't take the damage from the first Shelly being on the field before he killed it with fatle push.😊

How you liking the buster?

I know it can be so frustrating to draw into lands, but you have a card doing all the heavy lifting for you, is it that bothersome for you that you have to show the camera?

Tsch tsch tschhhhhh

41:15 Even though its the end of the game and it doesn't really matter, memory deluge digs for the amount paid to cast it. so he should have dug one more card because of the tax. GG's

Azorius Control 🤍💙

Nine Lives player had a couple times they did not draw for turn after drawing off their spells EOT. I think that really hurt them in the match up.

Is that a new addition to the deck or just never get him out? I don't believe I've seen him in your deck Matt

ch ch chhhhh chhhhhh

Trying to understand gameplay since I only play commander format

6:00 yes that is how that works!!

You all have the simic merfolk list?

16:03 You must protect Hexctatcher with her effect here i think.

44:31 selesnya player wasnt supposed to make a human cuz they attacked with 2 creatures. Cant believe the monoblack player lost off of that too.

Another IRL Thoughtseize bug on the very first draw!

game one two takenuma on the field

23:32 invoke should'nt have resolved, as it also targets opponents and leyline is already in play.

In the second game after they took back the toughtseize, monoblack midrange cast an invoke dispair needs to target an opponent and the leylines prevent that

On second game Mono b player had to loose 2 life due swift end. Also you should not be able to cast toughtseeze since another player had leyline

Dude got TS bugged IRL lol

the video just started and the grixis player uses bankbuster wrong and shark typhoon.

Whats the side board for the jund deck?

Very cool basics from both sides

Would love to see how this performs against anything but UW control 😂

YEAH PACK RAT

Looks like you cut tinny bones

Pack rat deck list???

That’s a cool pack rat deck!

What’s the list for this mono black ?

Sloppy play, Emergent not exiled, stack shenanigans on Omniscience and forgotten life gain trigger Sheoldred (37:09), no 2 life shock for Hallowed Fountain 40:30.

Hey Matt! I noticed a line in the second game around 41:00 where i think the turn could have went: play land, avarice on the opponent (making them draw and lose 9), then activate hive and swing out since it would be lethal (or don't swing and possibly win with sheoldred trigger). Though, I could be missing something because I'm not sure what the merfolks do but i think there were chances to do some shenanigans with avarice and win earlier. Great games though! Been a hard monoblack control/midrange player for a long time and its thanks to this youtube channel for the inspiration. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great showing for 5c Humans. And some interesting choices regarding creatures and lands.
