Ao vs Najeela vs K'rrik vs Korvold | CEDH Gameplay

[@zotmaster]

As a K'rrik player, I died inside when Ragavan exiled Asmodeus. But oh man, was the printing of Sheoldred a boon for the deck.

[@xOptoger]

I really like the Sheolred + Vilis interactions I've seen lately.

[@Crustgg]

I’ve been running a version of K’rrik very close to Peter’s build since his debut on this channel. And yet, every time he comes on, I still learn something about the deck! Looping blood celebrant triggers with Villis is definitely something I will remember. I love how fluidly Peter pilots this deck and I look forward to seeing more of him!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Ashani: "Look at my explosive turn!" Drake: "Hold my beer."

[@cristianprado8559]

ah yes, the "Defense Grid pass the turn" play, my favorite cedh play

[@vroomzoom4206]

It is truly a cEFH play

[@Nachtjagerz]

Ashani usually plays quite badly

[@hellmoney9688]

the breach felt really strange to me too

[@Manny199X]

I just now realized you can loop the Pay 1 Life cost with Blood Celebrant... and here I thought he was in trouble when Asmodeus got exiled. Awesome piloting by Peter!

[@seankeane769]

Can you explain it to me? I have no idea how he’s activating it?

[@CheeseWedge056]

@@seankeane769 He pays 1 black mana and 1 life to generate a black mana. Vilis triggers due to life loss to draw a card. He then uses the black mana he generated to do it again, which turns it into a pay 1 life draw 1 card engine.

[@mattdeters8306]

K'rrik has been my cEDH deck for the better part of 3 years now, and this is the first time I've seen this interaction. It never would have occured to me otherwise. Good to know going forward.

[@antonypistachio5476]

@@seankeane769 The loop is as so. Blood celebrant lets you pay 1 life to add 1 black mana. Vilis says whenever you lose life, you can draw cards equal to the lost life. Sheoldred says whenever you draw a card you gain 2 life. So in excess, you are drawing a card for one life but gaining two life which means you can loop it endlessly until you have your entire deck in your hand. And because you will be in excess of one for each card drawn, drawing out your deck will let you have so much life that Blood celebrant lets you make enough black mana to play everything in your deck.

[@colinperry8317]

Peter the K'rrik pilot is on another level , well played sir

[@AndrewWoodford]

Seriously! They should work for Wizards!

[@lokumo13]

@10:39 Nice ;)

[@ingolf82]

I think I need to try out that K'rrik deck, once Jewelled lotus is reprinted in Commander masters in August, it looks very fun to pilot.

[@abrahamdrinkin2534]

Peter should enter some cEDH tournaments with K’rrik.

[@nodekapunk]

I’m playing the deck at a local cedh “season”. So far I’m 2 for 2… is crazy when people don’t have any interaction.

[@wernerheisenberg8437]

“Drake’s name showed up the most in magic lore so he gets to go first” omg this is my favourite one of these. They’re such a fun part of your episodes! Set the tone perfectly

[@GSheff]

This is always my favorite thing too lol

[@TripsAhoy]

Good games. Yeah that game 1 defense grid really helped after passing turn lol.

[@Starkipraggy]

ngl it was cool to see games where people mulled to 4 and didn't get rewarded with a wheel.

[@Masteph93]

Idk why it took my so long to realize the mana generated with blood celebrant was being used to pay for the black cost in the following activations lmao. I was like "how tf is Peter not paying 3 life?!"

[@nathanaelbaillargeon8632]

Why didn't ashani cast grinding station over defense grid??? It looks like a missed turn 2 win.

[@argonnas2]

loving that new krrik list

[@blindrocket]

I play Korvold and I built K’rrik for my nine year old son. It’s not 100% optimized but it’s pretty strong regardless!

[@cactuarnoob100]

The classic onyx and smog combo

[@vOid-tl3tj]

ah yes, the classic defense grid pass👌

[@koanos2448]

2:25 Peter: Top deck a land. Top deck a land. Top deck a land. Later, Turn 03... I did not draw a land.

[@dFlits]

Could you make a chapter after the revealing of hands? I tend to always skip not to know to much info beforehand.

[@charlesmaillho367]

Game 1 Review: Great job on Ashani with the kingmaking. Charles and Peter playing mono colored decks with no interaction. Charles needs stax while Peter needs super fast mana to get going. Game 2 Review: Ashani saw the dockside from the previous game and thought "That's how I can win faster!" but forgot about board state. He's always so gung-ho about winning he never has interaction. Charles is once again playing mono-white so he has no interaction and unless he gets his stax pieces out turns 1-3, he has 0 chance of winning. He was basically ignored both games and didn't do anything.

[@aureliaaugusta1507]

Hot damn, Feels like PWP is entering a 2~4 turn meta lately.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Our meta has definitely sped up lately

[@jakemaxwell3810]

any competitive meta generally follows the cycle of 1. turbo racing to win - >2. stax to shut down turbo decks ->3. midrange to grind out the stax ->1. turbo race to win first and so on. It will probably cycle back around unless everyone gets hooked on the speed

[@TunedToDoom]

If you're not winning your turn after playing Defense Grid, you're just letting the next person in turn order win.

[@entertainmentinc9735]

If it’s early in the game, it’s safe to play to set up your next turn. For example, I’ll play it on turn 2, knowing I can win on turn 3.

[@crazykhespar8487]

@Entertainment Inc No. The single safe turn for Defense Grid is turn one, only if you're not 3rd-4th in turn order. That means only 1 person at most has turn 2 win protection. Hyperspeed decks can quite consistently threaten wins turn 2 and 3. These are all fast decks. That means giving anyone turn 2 protection can screw you over.

[@entertainmentinc9735]

@@crazykhespar8487 enjoy your losses

[@TheBowlingfanatic]

Yeah... That is why you NEVER. NEVER play Defense Grid and pass. You are absolutely handing the next person the win. Giving someone a protected turn like that is never a good idea in this format.

[@Smutter86]

Can someone explain how Peter was able to activate Blood Celebrant endlessly?? I must be missing something.

[@diegorezi5760]

I didnt get also

[@darkfiire1647]

read the card

[@jniteshade5352]

Great game. Love seeing how fast mono color decks can be.

[@tylewis8598]

Not sure what happened to the jeweled lotus??? I hope that wasnt used to pay celebrants cost to pay life and add mana.

[@Nihilus52]

I have a question about Vilis does he have to be on the battlefield first in order for his draw trigger or will he see life loss if you pay life to cast villis threw krrik

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

He does not see that life loss, because it’s on the stack.

[@stefanoomini9609]

But to activate Blood celebrant you should pay a black and one life not just one life

[@TheGrifcannon22]

K'rrik allows you to pay life instead of black.

[@d0cfriday]

Krrik would make it cost 3 life per mana then, and it wouldn't be able to loop with sheoldred

[@stefanoomini9609]

@@TheGrifcannon22 yes, of course... But Peter didn t play k'rrik in the second game and pay Life from celebrant withouht paying the black mana

[@widehardestslacker3821]

Perfect Timing :)

[@diegorezi5760]

Please anyone explains how he looped blood celebrant? As far as i know you have to pay 1 black each time you pay life

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

He used the black he generated from blood celebrant back into itself each time.

[@connorl0204]

I didnt see what was letting peter pay the mana portion of blood celebrant’s ability withot krrik. Can someone clarify that for me?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

He pays back into blood celebrant with the mana it generates.

[@connorl0204]

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG oh he was JUST doing it to draw cards. Gotcha! Thanks

[@travisstine7810]

How is mono black activating blood celebrant for only 1 life? I don’t notice him tapping mana either?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

He takes the mana he generated by blood celebrant and pays it back into it.

[@dimitriosdoulgeris4659]

How was Peter able to activate Blood Celebrant without spending mana? Krrik wasn't in play, or was he?

[@spamdumpster3773]

took me a sec to realize this one too, but he activeted it with black from a land, then made black with the celebrant then fed celebrant's black back into itself

@@spamdumpster3773 I see. It wasn't narrated clearly, so it wasn't comprehensible to me. Thx.

Charles immediately burning his portable hole just hurts to watch. Real great removal on a mana dork while another opponent casts 4 different less than 2 cmc permanents.

[@supermassivi1995]

Ashani show why I don't play defense grid, it just give the win to the next player. The card is great but I don't have the expirence to play it being kind of new into cEDH and I think it's better not to run it than give other players wins for now

[@matthias3451]

i pilot krrik for 2 years now and i gotta say when i see a pool like that i know i gotta win 🤷‍♂️ Peter is a good one btw 👍 you can learn some lines from him! but non krrik player remember one thing -> COUNTER krrik or destroy him the moment he enters 😅 most people i saw on this channel and in the last vid let it resolve everytime

[@austink.9223]

This is so true, especially in my pod. I actually mulligan for turn 1 removal when playing against K'rrik because if I don't its over in 1-3 turns

[@chiiimo3553]

How did krrik make mana without krrik on game2. Blood celebrant need to pay 1 life and black mana.

[@owenrobinson5031]

Yeah I have this same question

[@joshlin8002]

You just need one black mana to start. Then with that one black mana, you pay one life go keep making that one black mana over and over. With vilis, its basically paying 1 life to draw one card. Very powerful He was never making the mana. Just paying life to get triggers to draw a lot until he hit sheoldred. Then each draw gained him two life so he could draw his whole deck.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

You pay initially, then use the floating mana it generated to pay into it again. So you tap a Swamp to activate the ability. Then you're left with a floating black after you've activated the ability. You use that floating to activate it again. You can basically pay life and draw a ton of cards through Vilis through this interaction.

[@owenrobinson5031]

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG understood! Thank you, for some reason I just couldn’t comprehend how they kept activating it

[@imanujakku]

He only needs one black mana to start and then uses the black mana made by the ability to pay for the next activation.
