[@Bugnacious]

That first game shows that while obviously the craziest thing about Nadu is going wide and getting a ton of cards out of your library and into the game, the 3/4 flier for 1GU is still pretty darn good in 1v1.

[@Amazonian]

Seriously! It has stats

[@Bugnacious]

The Tamiyo Draw-Go was a masterclass in patience! Really shows off how Wizards has given Blue tools to deal with on-board creatures, but the intended weakness of just turning lands sideways until something resolves and then turning creatures sideways until they surrender can still work. Of course, as you kept saying during the match, an Evacuation would have dragged on the match longer, and presumably a side benefit (or main intention) of an online Draw-Go deck wants the opponent to be impatient and concede just to get into a game with more boardstate and less counterspelling.

[@bigspagheti4119]

You know it's bad when you can go into a Nadu matchup with a positive attitude but Tamiyo is where you draw the line.

[@Amazonian]

Freaking TAMIYO

[@BlackfeatherMain]

this comment aged like fine wine considering what happened with a certain Mesa Falcon with that exact same card.

[@philipwilson6038]

Amy, around 62 minutes in you asked about layers and timestamps. Kudo has an ability that takes effect in multiple layers. Reprobation applies in layer 4 and 6. However, when an ability is removed, if that ability was causing a continuous effect in a layer beneath it, that effect continue to apply since it was in effect first. See rule 613.6, it explains it more accurately than I.

[@Amazonian]

AAAAAAAAA

[@guico33]

Yet another example where the layers system produces a completely unintuitive boardstate.

[@ravtimlady]

@@guico33 It still makes most cases work intuitively, so it's better than the alternative If you don't believe me, tell me how you would change the system to make it better, and I'd be happy to tell you how much worse you'd make it :)

[@guico33]

@@ravtimlady "However, when an ability is removed, if that ability was causing a continuous effect in a layer beneath it, that effect continue to apply since it was in effect first." That doesn't make sense to me. I'd be curious to know why this rule even exists. I have no grief with the core concept of layers. But I can't fathom this kind of magus of the moon + humility situations where the implementation starts falling apart.

[@ravtimlady]

@@guico33 This only applies if the ability works in multiple layers simultaneously. Magus of the Moon, for example, changes type (layer 4) and abilities (layer 6), so if the first part of the effect takes place, the second should as well. Since Magus would only lose his abilities once we get to layer 6, layer 4 has already applied This is better than the alternative, which I guess would mean that Magus + Humility would make all lands into Mountains, but they'd either keep their abilities or not depending on the order the cards were played

[@chickenwater900]

I don’t know how you didn’t throw the computer playing against that tamiyo deck. Props to your self control

[@Amazonian]

Never give up!

[@DODUCKA]

it's the best thing to counter the Nadu decks 😅

[@johndoe9343]

@@DODUCKA I can't wait for discard decks to start popping up to counter Oops All Counterspells Tamiyo decks

[@austinjackson3986]

It's just a game, just concede if ya ain't having fun

[@lukaz20001]

@@austinjackson3986 That's blue-player talk, right there. You stay in the game in the faint hope those mfers run out of counterspells so you can beat them into a pulp. The point of a counterspell-only deck is to be so trite and boring people concede. People pull it out to get their daily wins easy, and I stay in the match to make it tedious. I like flinging mud, I'm not above it, but I only put thematic counterspells into decks out of principle these days.

[@smoolz7818]

That was an absolute heater against tamiyo. I would've scooped after witness protection lol

[@Bpyr]

I love playing unpopular commanders, like Minthara or Aegar. So that game with Zarzoth was a blast of experience. That Tamiyo match tho... ill never understand blue players with counterspells...

[@Amazonian]

Seeing a devil deck? Awesome. Seeing Mono Blue Tamiyo? BOOOOOOOO

[@jpaden8515]

The reprobation is definitely a really weird layers thing that plays on what layers happen first and if the ability effects multiple layers as one ability at a time or multiple individual abilities. Since Kudo's ability initially starts in layer 4 with making everything a bear, the entire ability is applied as a whole, And then in layer 6 reprobation removes its abilities even tho their already being applied. It was some weird thing I heard on "this is a commander channel" 's "tough rules and cool interactions" episode 73. It was in regards to dress down, but similar scenario.

[@jpaden8515]

cr 613.6 fyi

[@nathanielsmith5976]

Goldvein Hydra is the card that has started going in every green deck I have. I just haven't found a spot where it isn't good.

[@Amazonian]

It's so good. It honestly has too many abilities

[@nathanielsmith5976]

I kept saying that new Tamiyo was a threat. I play her as a Merfolk commander though.

[@DeliriumDogz]

As soon as I saw that title I knew I would just have to grin and bear all the upcoming puns ;3

[@dcrow9650]

Kudo is my favorite commander for the set. I really have fun with that deck on Arena and the only reason I started to play again. I use Battle of Ikoria or Chord of Calling to search for Elesh Norn when I can lock my opponent. Is also great to use the Agatha Soul Cauldron to buff your creatures but especially, get powerful effects. I once lockout my opponent after exiling Boromir and basically turning my entire board in Bearomirs.

[@TheStanishStudios]

Oooh spicy! Agatha’s cauldron is so much fun

[@z4262]

Loving the content Amy! You have such a wholesome vibe and make brawl so much fun. Liked and subbed.

[@lanmordreth]

I know she's pretty much just a blink commander, but I'd love to see you play fetch with Phelia, the goodest girl! I think she's my favorite commander out of MH3. I made a good stuff etb deck, a taxes deck, and as much of a doggo deck as I could with her. Just wish Arena had more dogs to put in there!

[@starmanda88]

Not that anyone is shocked by this but holy shit ocelot pride is RIDICULOUS

[@Amazonian]

Yeah. It's wild

Kudo is great and we love to see him thrive, specially against those boring mono-counterspell or combo/ramp decks. Here to submit another request for Mr Satya and wish you a good Sunday

[@edwardtetzlaff]

Love your videos. I usually play in person, in 4 man pods. Do you feel like your decks would also work in 4 man pods or are they highly tuned bear machines for 1:1 brawl?

[@Amazonian]

They are very much not built for 4 players, but a lot of the cards would be the same!

[@jeremyvg1123]

wonder what kutzil saw to be placed in witness protection not just once, but twice

[@mastarops]

[@vincentguarino7430]

I would love to see an anti-Nadu deck in the same vein as your anti-Grenzo deck from when OTJ alchemy came out

[@Amazonian]

Put Confounding Conundrum in as many decks as possible

[@andreakleiner80]

Love your content, your personality and the tone of the channel. Love you amy.

[@devonpiersol1207]

Wizards should let the queen and king be partner commanders

[@darklordrowan6152]

Honestly they should make an alchemy bear giving card. When you cast this, all creatures in your hand, deck, graveyard perpetually become bears in addition to their other types.

[@Zorae42]

Nice playing the "everyone is a bear" commander during pride month 😏

[@Amazonian]

I had to do it

[@phyrexia4ever]

What a great game against Tamiyo. It's funny when they run out of counterspells and just surrender

[@johulsmans9252]

So what determines priority when you have 2 effects going on that affect creatures. Let's say you have this bear on the field, and your opponent has the green creature whose power is equal to your amount of lands, what decides which effect is followed? Also: this deck is fun.

[@Bpyr]

1:13:34 reading the card explains the card ;)

[@Amazonian]

Impossible

[@mrpandaaagaming]

Can you try Kudo but as a Slime Against Humanity deck?

[@Amazonian]

I'd prefer not to, it's a cute idea, but it likely gets stomped

[@snakeman830]

In the game versus Kroxa, why did you not sacrifice the Restless Prairie to the Sheoldred's Edict? You had 9 unblocked damage to the opponent (who had 7 life) and Aclazotz would not have gained any life since the creature he was blocking was gone before damage and won right then.

[@Amazonian]

Because math is for blockers
