Episode 4 of the Playing With Power Podcast is now live! kzbin.info/www/bejne/onTGdWeFi9yUfJY

[@MesaCoast]

The optimal Yuriko deck build is 3 basic lands, two changelings, 94 ten CMC cards, two massive balls and a dream

[@jackhayes6969]

What about a doomsday?🤣🤣🐒

[@dylanellemberg9751]

This comment is the best ever 😂

This comment is gold😂

[@walls_of_skulls6061]

There are currently 43 10 cmc cards in the game

[@uhmatcha1167]

​@@walls_of_skulls6061You can add some 10+cmc cards tho

5:40 I’m impressed Mike was able to fit a Talisman of Dominance into his Jund deck

[@watchandyearn1186]

Yeah this confused me, I’m assuming they meant the RB talisman?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Scripting mistake! :(

[@jochenkirn9468]

Yuriko revealed a lot of lands, so much damage that could have happened.

[@Jaakington]

That's my Yuriko cedh deck in a nutshell. It's already a joke along my play group 😄

[@MesaCoast]

Same... Won once on turn 4 by flipping up 10 cmc + every trigger, and every game since has been all lands 😅

Thats only natural if you have many low cost cards in your deck. Yuriko needs some top-deck manipulation.

If Korvold himself is sacrificed for whatever reason, his controller still draws a card.

[@jeepeedurocher]

illusion korvold shouldve triggered a draw

[@swamptony]

I cried so loud when Folger revealed that force of will, because I totally would have risked it and swung all out

[@aeolus7762]

Small note since Thieves' Guild Enforcer is a part of Yuriko, any time a Rogue enters, each opp mills 2, so stuff like Looter il-Kor would have triggered the TGE, and I assume there are other Rogues in the deck, so this would be something to keep in mind!

[@nolife874]

I think the enforcer trigger was missed at 7:14 when looter was cast

Korvold is disgustingly good, I love him but he’s waaaaay too pushed

[@TheBaconMagician]

The "cEDH staple: Conch Horn" killed me xD

[@bobeverbirch4020]

Great game! I think one important thing about budget is that it fits the deck. Higher color decks are restrained a lot more by budget due to their expensive mana bases but lower colored decks aren’t hurt as much.

[@AstridCeleste96]

In addition to colors I'd say if your win condition doesn't have to be tutored to be consistent. A Commander that presents its own win condition is better than a Thoracle deck may be without Vampiric/Demonic/Spellseeker etc all searching for it.

[@razzKey]

Yuriko especially is very powerful even when built on a tight budget, being a card advantage engine while also putting clock and basically ignores removal is super strong.

[@scottlewis7654]

As a proactive player, that hurt when Korvold got shut down that many times

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

It's fine, I could've played the turn a bit better and honestly loved how crazy that turn was with all the free interaction. -Mike

[@jackhayes6969]

I love you Mike

[@kellyperry5009]

That was wild! Everyone had a chance to win! Did not expect the ending for sure. Great pod!

Man, hearing that game recap finally return is a true chefs kiss!!

[@patrickdavis8271]

Wow! That was an amazing game! Fantastic showcase of each deck, great interaction from all players and each commander had their turn in the spot light. Well done to everyone!

[@derekmccoy2799]

That yuriko deck was awesome for sure but I think it showed how good the pilot was! Great game!

[@tiagocoelho9848]

I just noticed after all these time subbed that Folger is left handed for sure. He taps everything to the left side, just like me (and also plays cards with his left hand). Feels good to be represented hehe

Thank you again for bringing back the end of the game recap. This was an awesome game to watch

[@christofermarlar9610]

That game was amazing!! I just finished building my first CEDH deck today (which is Yuriko Turns) and am gonna play it in my first tournament next week. That podcast episode really helped me start preparing!

[@JonathanHecht]

im kinda impressed with yuriko. i have a budget list for her and a separate cedh of thrassios and vial smasher. so if ill ever want a second cedh deck i know what to do

[@Ouja]

My Yuriko deck is not my most powerful EDH deck, but it is incredibly fun. You can run so many interactions it never plays the same way twice but always plays at the same level. You just have to be aware of how you've built and be ready to flip your strategy on the fly. If you are considering building Yuriko, pull the trigger. You won't regret it.

[@DivineXistence22]

YES FINALLY ! ! ! Someone was able to play Urza and actually play the game! Winning came as a shock 😲

[@Dareianrc36]

That Yuriko only need to reveal one extra turn spell or something to take this. Was rooting for it. Great vid

[@TheGrifcannon22]

Great game! Didn't expect the end at all!

[@razzKey]

*TWO* midrange tempo decks in one table? Now that's something we don't see often.

[@MesaCoast]

I've played with Yuriko, Winota, and Najeela at a table before, it honestly feels like a completely different format. Somehow my meta has evolved into hyper-aggressive + mid-range decks. The games end extremely quickly

[@andrewdurham5385]

Mike was putting much pressure on the board, and any of his opponents lacking an answer would’ve given him W.

[@jaredsmith6565]

Folger made the right play IMO

[@GodammitNappa]

technically not, even with the not being able to kill both players the urza deck had a lot more potential to win than the yuriko deck (since he didnt even have his commander). There was a max 5 damage he could have taken from combat (which najeela is better at protecting from) meanwhile the urza deck can win via three different methods and had the mana to hard cast tidespout which meant the urza deck was in a much better position to win and was built more competitively. Always take out the bigger threat, not the proper threat.

[@larskoppmeyer8329]

@@GodammitNappa The commentary said that the choice was between killing yuriko and going for the immediate win, so I think he didnt have enough damage to kill the urza. I am pretty sure if he could have done that he would(I didnt count the damage). In this case his decision was right imo, because the chance to win by flipping a 4cmc card was like 4% and the chance that urza would not be able to win on the spot I would estimate a little bit higher.

[@GodammitNappa]

@@larskoppmeyer8329 he had the ability to kill either player. But either way, he took a gamble.

[@johnbaird6752]

Old music is back 😳 wow Korvold can really pop off

[@AwesomeAustinPowrz]

If I was Folger I’d kill Zack and put Ryan on a one turn clock. As mentioned in another comment, you guys are a content machine and have been killing it lately on the videos. You guys rock

[@AwesomeAustinPowrz]

Ryan had a sick win too! 🥇

[@TheAngelRaven]

Yuriko is one of the few commanders that can stand up for drastically less than most other decks solely because what it does in casual doesn't differ in cEDH. Swing, Yuriko trigger, drain 16. All she really needs is top-card tutors and a Sensei's and that's about it.

[@Triczterztricz]

What a game is back! Gotta love it

[@motekar5791]

I like how Mike had the sad face on his mat lol, but was rooting for Urza (want to build one, looks fun)

We tried that, but ultimately it required a ton of effort and time that didn't end up being worth it.

[@badaryman7139]

Amazing game! Seeing the way this game developed, I can really feel how the meta was getting stale with Thoracle

[@kevinfranklin7913]

At 14:18 did Mike forget to draw off of Korvold's ability when he cracked the fetch?

[@thedarudecactus3179]

I was going to say making a budget version of Birgi is super simple and could work really well against cedh players.

[@TALGARDO]

[@TheRDRipley]

Impressed by the budget deck. Yuriko is quite the commander.

[@jackzhou1516]

in 7:15, the kor enters will trigger the enforcer, and zack's opponents need to mill 2 cards.

But maaaybe, if you're going for budget Korvold, could you try a Persist combo build? :D That's the budget cEDH deck (budget as in ~300$) I'm playing atm, and I'd love to see what an experienced deck builder would come up with (and if it's even possible/viable). Anyway, love your content, cheers.

[@FunkyMeerkat2000]

All hail the magic conk!

[@alexandrosvezyropoulos2344]

love your content

[@ivorymantis1026]

The best move was actually probably hitting Ryan first above everything else. If Zack could have used anything (and I do mean anything) to get Yuriko back, he would have already because Yuriko is a commander-dependent deck strategy. The safest bet was swinging out as utterly as possible on Ryan because Urza was still present. Still, with both being blue players it could have been a coin flip either way with Folger being so low on health.

[@daltynfowler364]

For the record. I said full send and hope you hit a 4CMC card

17:36 He should draw from Korvald too since it's sacrifice, right?

[@thezerowulf507]

Correct

[@iangz413]

amazing gameplay

[@benyura]

Quck question: Folger kills Ryan when Yuriko's trigger goes onto the stack. I'm assuming despite all Ryan's cards getting exiled, the triggers from his cards would still resolve as long as they're controlled by another player, or is there some rule where the triggers from a players cards would exile when the player dies despite who controls them?

[@SoulsOnly]

The trigger belongs to Folger, so even though Ryan owns Yuriko, Folger still gets that trigger.

[@6slade]

I think on a budget you can still pack some good interaction and even card draw, I think its the mana base that gets hit hardest, and perhaps the bombs that compose some wincons.

[@Holyscream]

May i ask a stupid question? Love your content and starting about thinking getting into CEDH. My question is, what is the win von from this korvold list? I liked how the deck goes but i cant figure out in the deck list whats the goal. Thx in advise :)

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

A number of different ways. Make korvold very large and attack. You can also praetors grasp for thoracle and win with breach. You can also finale for very large numbers and pump your creatures.

I don't see why wouldn´t be an option to kill Ryan, considering it's a poly urza that can combo off very easily and Zack already lost control of Yuriko (Factor also that it is a budget deck). Even if you think that polymorph is in the graveyard, instant/sorcery recursion is a thing right?

How did narset's reversal make it back into the library for that twister loop 🤔 9:50

[@16forthecar]

Pretty sure what happens is twister goes on the stack, he activated narset's reversal targeting his own twister, narset's resolves, hits the grave, then the copy of twister resolves shuffling grave and hand back into library. This includes shuffling the narset's and twister

[@thebigbadpinkman]

@@16forthecar they can't cast narset from the graveyard is the issue. Unless the card was put back into the library some how that wasn't show, urza cannot twister loop. Urza would have to bounce mystic sanctuary first, then replay it to put narset on top.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

You can use another shuffler like time spiral to shuffle it in first. You can also bounce mystic sanctuary with tidespout tyrant and replay it, putting it on top of his library.
