Aragorn vs the First Sliver vs Indoraptor vs Omnath | Kingdoms & Friends E67 | Commander Gameplay

Jason, that was the strangest Sliver deck I’ve seen…

[@KingdomsTV]

It’s old school. He randomizes the commander every time

[@jasonr9912]

It's strange on purpose! The reason for my deck's strangeness is because it's completely unfocused - at the start of the game, I shuffle the six legendary slivers facedown and have an opponent choose one to be the commander that game. It's slivers and some haymaker spells, and I try to win with what I'm given 💪

@@jasonr9912 I love that idea so you can always get a different feel for the game.

[@flohellmut7577]

I would love to see the decklist from the Aragorn deck. It looks pretty cool!

[@KingdomsTV]

It’s in our discord and maybe Matias will post it here!

[@matiassalazar2412]

Cannot post decklists on comments, but my moxfield is salaza21. The deck is called Aragorn Uniter of The Set

Great game thanks for another awesome episode

[@KingdomsTV]

Always glad to share!

[@R.Truth20]

wish there was a list for that indoraptor deck!

[@KingdomsTV]

Maybe on discord you can ask them!

[@MrDontSubscribeToMe]

What is the discord link? This Indoraptor list is sick!

[@KingdomsTV]

@@MrDontSubscribeToMe Its for any level of patron! www.patreon.com/KingdomsTV

[@Brodayshus-z]

you ever find the list?

[@MrDontSubscribeToMe]

Nope. I think the Discord is Patreon only and Patreon is blocked on my home network. My dad gave my brother's college fund to a cosplayer on there

[@underthebridge2014]

when matias swings his creatures are unblockable because he is the monarch and has aragorn out from the precon at 16:00.

[@matiassalazar2412]

You are right, there is a dot on the second part of the text "Whenever Aragorn attacks, up to one target creature can’t block this turn. If you’re the monarch, creatures can’t block this turn". We discussed this in game, and thought both sentences triggered only when Aragorn attacks. Mind your punctuation all!

[@41F]

​@@matiassalazar2412 Your table ruled this correctly. Punctuation is important, including paragraph breaks. Because this is all one paragraph, it's all one triggered ability, and so it *does* mean that Aragorn needs to attack, even if you're the monarch. Interestingly, the "up to one" clause means that it's better to not target anything if you're the monarch. If you choose to target something, and that creature no longer is a valid target when the ability resolves, the entire ability gets countered.

[@KingdomsTV]

I believe it’s all or nothing. So Aragorn has to attack.

[@connorl0204]

9:01 why didnt jason keep cascading after the shadow sliver? TFS doesnt care how you cast the sliver, just that you did. The true embodiment of “they dont ask how, they ask how many” lol

[@connorl0204]

Same for necrotic sliver at the end

[@jameelkurabi]

When you cast The First Sliver it goes on the stack. Before it enters the battlefield the cascade trigger goes on the stack next and you resolve that first. Since shadow sliver entered the battlefield before TFS it doesn't trigger cascade again. Once TFS etb's then the cascade train will occur for future sliver casts.

[@KingdomsTV]

This. It will once the First Sliver has resolved.

[@mrjonnymac]

Great game!

[@kenny19910]

So I thought you couldn't respond to a split second card?😊

[@bobdole5086]

I always respond to split second by telling opponent I’m sad now

[@connorl0204]

Basically, the way split second works is “while a spell with split second is on the stack, players can’t cast spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities” Having not watched the video yet, i am assuming that someone tried to cycle a card, like nimble obstructionist, to counter a spell or ability. Cycling is a special action that can only be activated at any any time you have priority, but since activating the activated ability of cycling a card is a special action, it doesnt have to follow the same rules as casting a spell. Cycling a card is technically an activated ability, but as a special action skirting the regular rules, you can cycle while split second spells are on the stack, then the card puts a triggered ability on the stack when you do (in the case of nimble obstructionist, “counter target activated or triggered ability you dont control”) and split second just entirely does not care about triggered abilities. If thats unclear or potentially slightly incorrect, @kingdomstv will typically be happy to clarify/correct as needed, but at the end of the day the take away is that you can take special actions at any time the game would allow you to normally, independently of whatever else is going on in the game.

[@kenny19910]

@connorl0204 no. Someone used pippin to tap him to give some pro color of choice because it had a spell put on it that said whenever this creature becomes tapped it deals x damage to player or any target, can't remember specifically in response to a card with split second.

[@connorl0204]

@@kenny19910 that looked like legolas’ quick reflexes resolved, then a player went to combat to get the ping damage.

[@matiassalazar2412]

I just tapped pippin in after Legolas resolved, nothing more
