“The gay kings are benevolent, I am not” truly the words of a black-aligned player piloting a group hug deck

[@bluecraftsandgarden5130]

Favorite line this episode lol

[@ty_sylicus]

Maria not doubling her tokens was driving me bonkers! 😵

[@nik700]

Olivia and maria have two of the most infectious laughs that will ever exist, so hyped for this episode!

[@EDHijinks]

They make everything better! Love hanging with these ladies.

[@ty_sylicus]

Wow! 😂🤣 What an ending!

[@MrMagicCrow]

Great episode so far remembering that Myriad Landscape searches for two basics of the same type, so Olivia couldn't have searched for a mountain and a forest.

[@crawdaddy1234]

I was looking for this comment 😅

[@johnberry1170]

Yes, for a memeber of CAG she sure does cheat a lot

[@famousstranger8468]

I always get two different lands from it it's why I hate the card and taken it out of all my decks.

[@ElGeFe]

@@johnberry1170 that's not cheating, it's a misplay. And she isn't on the CAG, she is on the RC.

[@rhysfuuma4640]

​@@ElGeFe she is on the CAG, unless that's changed in the last 8 months bc she appeared in either a Game Knights or Xtra Turns titled Battle of the CAG on The Command Zones channel.

When Olivia gave the Phantasmal Image trample, shouldn't it have gone to the graveyard?

[@EDHijinks]

Oooh good point! We all missed that. Whoopsies!

[@4vendetta1]

Came here to say this

[@gielvanarkel4867]

In response to @christoper scoggings: the triggered ability on phantasmal image posing as scute swarm was to be sacrificed the moment it got targeted by itself to place 4 +1/+1 on it, right? 👼

[@adamjaster4084]

@@gielvanarkel4867 Nope. Its not a targeted ability, its just an effect. The Image would only go away if targeted

[@gielvanarkel4867]

@@adamjaster4084 thank you. Like Olivia, I learned something today 😉

[@cronchable]

Small thing I noticed: Big Game Hunter's ability does not say "may" or "up to one", which means its ability is mandatory. So if Eilidh did do that flicker, she would have had to target her own Toluz, since it was the only legal target ^^ Not important to the game, and can be circumvented by just not flickering it, but I just found it funny how that old wording on Hunter works here :)

[@Joshuad369]

*Olivia showing the Life Counter dial and moving them to a certain number* Nice :)

[@vawn520]

that was a cool episode seeing all the decks be specific to the numbers they were restricted to, very neat idea. I agree with trying decks others have made its a fun experience. Great sponsor pick up, gamegenic stuff really is awesome, I need to try their sleeves next!

[@EDHijinks]

Their sleeves are the best I've used and I've tried them all at this point lol. Check out their playmats too! Super soft.

[@D4ddi0G4m3r]

Such a great video ladies, hopefully showing this video to my daughter may get her interested in playing magic. Love seeing M&M, been following since MTA days. :)

[@kristianfischer9814]

This week on Elder Dragon Hijinks, we learn what sound tapping all your mana to give a Hydra a ton of counters makes.

[@JonReid01]

Oof 😅

[@drunkgerbil9962]

Gamegenic is actually an awesome sponsor! Definitely high quality supplies!

[@EDHijinks]

They're super impressive! They sent us a big ol' shipment of goodies and it's like Christmas going through everything!

[@danielfrazier5586]

Gamegenic products def shows that their designers must be gamers themselves. Have yet to be unimpressed with one of their products.

[@davidfirth6325]

Yes!!!!!!!! GLHF is beyond the most underrated podcast for MTG.

[@ericap1098]

Great game yet again! The weekly content is much appreciated. The baby is getting so big, and is adorable as ever! Awesome win, I won't spoil it though. I really enjoyed the 1, 2, 3, 4 decks, it was a neat switch up, especially with new to you decks.

[@boardgamebarista240]

Only way to prevent turn one sol rings is to give Olivia the 4 CMC deck 😆

[@benjaminkaye5119]

This was a fun pod and fun decks. Catch y’all on the flippity!

[@JJMickeyMusic]

This was very fun and delightful!

[@hsMaskman]

I will never not love the way Eilidh plays a card and doesn't finish reading it until it's on the stack

[@atasin]

Meghan and Maria playing commander!!! Yay!!!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I'm not done with the video yet, and already, I love this pod! If laughter is the best medicine, I feel _very_ healthy for my birthday, lol. And for Maria's information, shuko gloves were used by ninjas to climb walls -- which is why the claws are on the inside of the gloves.

[@tyleroliver1819]

Kudos and congrats on the sponsorship. Well deserved. Excellent game with wonderful guests!

[@smurfton14]

Yes! After seeing the Instagram tease of Mistcutter Hydra, I’ve been waiting for this!

[@jeffreylong1478]

Maria was a good sport lol

[@JonLeitheusser]

Hooray! Been a fan of GLHF for years!

[@andersrkeness2721]

Great Game Everyone 🥰 The first Commander Game I won is do to Settle the Wreckage. It was Ur-Dragon(me) vs Oloro vs Slivers.

[@mightyone3737]

Really great episode, great guests and a cool gimmick to try out!

[@DachFalimo]

Myriad Landscape only gets 2 basics that share land type, meaning K&T's value hug should have come online a turn later. Growth Chamber grew the team one more, but it had no effect on the outcome. Cyclonic Rift isn't really in the Spirit of 2 CMC, is it? Great video, guests, game idea!

[@robbithatman]

I disagree. It's as in-spirit as any other alternative cost - the other decks also have pitch spells or things with evoke or foretell or X spells or madness or cycling. Do you object to Renewed Faith as a MV 3 spell as well?

[@embergeos]

I did a challenge like this, and one of the people doing it absolutely DESTROYED us with an 8 CMC tribal deck, it was glorious. I’ll drop a link to some deck lists from it if someone responds wanting me to

[@robbithatman]

8cmc! I am very interested, that's a hurdle I've not tried to jump yet with these.

[@johnholler6149]

Hello Ladies this is the first video I have watched in a while because back in December I had my aorta rupture and it's been a long road back to being able to walk any distance and be able to do things on my own. who knew that becoming a heart patient would change so much.

[@EDHijinks]

Goodness, John! That's crazy! So sorry to hear about that, but we're super glad you're still here! 💙 Please take care and all the best for a full recovery!

[@Tvboy777]

Just wanted to say, great job at the pro tour AliasV! I really enjoyed your mix of humor and actually keeping up with the gameplay.

[@validtangent]

That's crazy, I was coming to comment on last week's video that you should have them on, so cool!

[@williambrabham5028]

Congrats on the new sponsor ladies 🎉🎉🎉 y’all deserve it !!! Gamegenic is 🔥💯

[@nerdaccount]

This was so much fun!!!!! I'm here from GLHF and I did subscribe!

[@deathpenguin005]

For the record. Alberta is not in the middle. If anything Manitoba, Western Ontario and Nunavut are the middle. Alberta is second from the Pacific, next to British Columbia.

[@rolindahlquist3124]

I wasnt sure where Maria was from but looks like shes from my home state! Makes me smile.

[@joshuapardee4901]

Fantastic episode and loved the GLHF guests!

[@D00813]

Olivia chosing friends and foes is the moment of the game for me! Restricting nonlands to a single MV is a really interesting concept for a game, and it played out to be a lot more balanced than I thought it'd be. Also, kinda funny that I just bought a Gamegenic Sidekick 100+ for my Briar CC deck (which I'm loving so far and already want more colors of [FaBTCG, I don't care how soon she'll be banned/LL'd🫣😭🤣]) and y'all just got the sponsorship. Totally unrelated events but like, cosmically rhyming lmao

[@Jjdude101]

Loved the theme episode! Would be down for more

[@FlowBerni]

1:14:40 where Meghan is digging for answers... Did she miss out on the "Mizzium Mortar" (overloaded) + Galvanic Iteration (flashbacked) to deal 8 damage to each of Olivias creatures?

[@blaze556922]

A helpful tip when fortelling is to turn it sideways. That way it distinguishes it from a morph card which would traditionally just be flipped over vertically :)

[@maxbodifee3263]

It might as well be a morph that is tapped then. Use a token or note to distinguish them

[@blaze556922]

@@maxbodifee3263 where you place it on the battlefield matters. Morph cards would be kept with creatures and foretell cards would go more towards your library and lands area. That is up to the individual but it needs to be cleared to opponents. When they make a new card type they should identify where on the battlefield it belongs imo

[@gaymer4rmmeletis]

Eyyyy! Gay Kings for the Win. As a resident of the plane, it was nice seeing a home win! 🎉

[@forbunnie]

Great idea for the game. Great vid as always.

[@frandynamo2143]

What a great episode! Awesome guests and such a fun idea with the CMC themes. I did think that Rhys was looking hella strong.. 1 CMC in Selesyna is solid.. Land Tax, good spot removal.. and allowing X spells helps make tokens.. But so happy to see Oliva struggle bus her way to victory lol It did seem that K&T where defo at a disadvantage at the start bless em but that Settle the Wreckage was perfection. Love that card! Especially on the rare occasion that your opponents get NO LANDS from it! LMAO GG all

[@oliviauzquiano7392]

Yay I’m so excited I love GLHF!! ❤ thanks for another great episode!

[@mattperkinson9604]

Oh man, Ephara is one of my favorite cards, I built a blue white tokens deck years back using her! If y’all are looking for another theme episode idea, I’d love to see oops all gods or oops all theros gods (probably excluding Xenagos, though, he just takes over the game way too easily).

[@deathpenguin005]

That CMC restrictions were a cool idea. One of many reasons I love you Jynx's. Willing to experiment.

[@johnarmlovich8628]

Isn't Olivia playing her commamder wrong? Doesn't she get to draw and play a land on her end-step while her opponents only do one or the other?

[@Joshuad369]

On a more serious note. I actually have two of the Dungeon 1100 that I tricked out with tons of stickers. I got back into paper magic pretty hard, and these things are so damn amazing

[@Minedeleis]

Aaaaah yes fair Magic by the numbers. That challenge was a blast to watch thanks as always ! Should have made the turn order in CMC order too hehe

Fun watch with interesting decks

[@remembertobreathe66]

Has Joey and Maria ever sat at the same game before? I feel like the combination of their jokes would result in a new Eye of Terror, from which would spring forth a clown car.

Eilidh casually throwing out John cena's home town

[@Fettsbounty07]

So, Big Game Hunter isn't a may ability and doesn't specify opponents creatures. If it sees a target, it doesn't care who controls it. So flickering it would have killed Toluz.

At end meghan could have flashbacked the copy spell card and then deal the 4 to Olivia. But at all that match was for me surprisingly interesting, thought that restriction would be too hard to do things

[@ursulcx299]

I love the idea of 1-2-3-4 cmc curve of commanders, I love Rhys, I love tokens... but I can,t help but being disappointed that no one did Rograkh and Yoshimaru to have 0-1-2-3-4

[@robbithatman]

These are my decks. I have a sketch of Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar for 0, and a sketch of Garth One-Eye for 5, I'm just waiting on cards for Garth. Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar is...very bad. 0s are a terrible deck, it needs some help before I feel comfortable playing it or lending it out.

[@ursulcx299]

@@robbithatman that's fair. I still found the concept to be very interesting. I think using the partner commanders for a combined 0 and 1 might let 0 drops be included without being too bad. Wouldn't be a great deck but would be functional

@@ursulcx299 Yep, that makes total sense. I think that's a different restriction than my decks operate under, but absolutely would make a more fun and interesting deck.

Half expected to see companions for these decks with certain CMC conditions.

[@seanheiser2179]

Sad that Elidh didn’t rep the two on color boarderposts for her 3 mana deck. Always loved those things

[@robbithatman]

I've rebuilt this deck multiple times, and have tried them in prior versions. The problem with the borderposts in esper is that you get very few additional land drops. So they are very similar to a tapped land that costs mana early, and don't get you a bonus spell. (You cast one on 3, and next turn you have 5 mana, which is still only 2 spells.) In prior versions that were more artifact heavy, they were essentially artifact lands, which was good, but Toluz does not need that synergy, so they got fired for mana rocks that make 2 mana so the deck can go 3-6 so it can double spell. So, yeah, generally agreed, I felt bad cutting them, but it made the deck work smoother without them unfortunately.

Wait a minute: I almost forgot that Scute Mob copy would be destroyed if it was a target of a spell or ability. So, wouldn’t the Mina and Denn ability force Meghan to sacrifice the Phantasmal Image? It didn’t register until the rules card about the interaction between Nin and the copy, but the copy was supposed to die.
