[@Natedogg2]

24:30 One correction here - we cast all of the spells while Etali's trigger is resolving. We don't cast one spell, resolve it, then cast the next spell. So no matter what order the spells get cast in, the Sorcerer is going to be on the stack when Ulamog's trigger is put on the stack (Ulamog's trigger will go on the stack above all of the spells you cast), so Kelsien could not target the Sorcerer.

They've messed the cast triggers up a few times, it's confusing for sure but it may help if they resolve triggers like Etalis by layering the stack with the cards being cast, then putting cast triggers on the stack, then resolving like you're supposed to. Clutters up the stack but it's what it's there for.

Fun episode, but idk, felt super power mismatched. The second someone slams dual land into enlightened tutor sylvan library they are threat number 1 on the table and it's not close. Everyone kept poking each other and ignoring Jordan, Jordan should have been archenemy absolutely immediately. Every card in that deck seemed to be power, even the lands. Still, beauty of Commander is even when you have a game that's not that close and power mismatched, everyone can have a good time, get some archenemy action in, just laugh with friends. Definitely a great episode, especially if you wanted a quicker and easier to edit one, but the power balancing was not there (which I get sometimes happens, maybe the other decks on a nut draw can match it step for step)

[@darkobiwan]

Doesn't even need to be a dual land. Just when someone turn 2 Sylvans, you attack them to cut their resources.

[@SonnigesDeutschland]

Yeah, Ashlen plays some tapped lands and Fifth Dawn jank vampires, Jake goes for the jankier Equipment build... aaaand then there is Jordan who played more money in his first 2 turns than Ashlen and Murph combined for the entire game. I think this game is a great example for a power level discussion gone wrong and also a great example why tutors have no place in anything under power level 8.

[@camael4209]

@@SonnigesDeutschland disagree on the tutors not belonging in decks under powerlevel 8. How else are people going to assemble kaldra or other fun things? I also run tutors just to make some decks work. It's not necessarily the tutor but more the pieces that are being tutored which spike the power level. Sylvan library is just an extremely strong card especially combined with etali or other cast from top of library effects

[@SonnigesDeutschland]

@@camael4209 Yes, that's definitely right. I'd never complain about your power level if you use your tutors on Kaldra pieces. But you gotta admit that this is a fringe case and the vast majority of times people tutor for answers or combo pieces. This flexibility goes around the Singleton philosophy imo.

[@Sheriff_K]

@@SonnigesDeutschland Tutors can also be budget options. Like instead of running Parellel Lives AND Doubling Season, you can run 1 + a Tutor, and save half the cost.. Also nothing wrong with combo strats, imo combo wins are more fun to lose to than Voltron/combat (because if everyone dies at the same time, 1 player isn't left out twiddling their thumbs waiting for everyone else to finish.. Hence why I basically no longer make Voltron type decks.) But as for me, the main reason I try to limit Tutors isn't for any of those reasons, but mainly to make games feel different and not always the same (I'd rather see different cards and win in different ways, than just tutor for the same cards every game.) Though if 1 card is really important to your deck, then I'd run a Tutor for it.

30:48 It's worth noting that because mono-green Selvala's later ability activations are dependent on having a green mana left over from a previous activation, the only way to get "infinite" attacks with non-vigilant creatures on this board is to gamble on using mana from Selesnya-Selvala after each combat step. But infinite attacks with indestructible Samut and Archangel Avacyn obviously gets the job done regardless.

Kelsien puts a delayed triggered ability when he deals damage, waiting for the creature to die.

So when the creature dies, it triggers both the abilities.

All direct damage spells that target players can have the damage redirected to a Planeswalker. So things like shock or lightning bolt can hit Planeswalkers too, just fyi. Edit: actually wait, I forgot they changed that rule back when dominaria came out, so I need to clarify further. Any card that says "target creature or player" specifically, that came out before dominaria is considered to instead say "any target". So they can still hit Planeswalkers, it's just different as to how. That's why they changed lightning bolt to say "any target" when they started to reprint it after that change. Basically they didn't want to change how any of the old cards worked, they just wanted to change things moving forward.

quick correction to the last statement: Jordan can only attack with the vigilance creatures multiple times, as the others dont get untapped again after the second combat phase and as the mana pool gets emptied on phase switch, he can only activate Selvala one more time. Doesnt change the outcome, as avacyn alone is enough to kill everyone, but for a similar situation its important to keep in mind, in case you have no vigilance creatures

[@caseywellington4761]

It actually doesn't work that way, because he can choose to hold selvala untapped (out of combat) and then tap her to activate the enchantment after each combat step, untapping everything each time.

Only one creature died so shouldn't it have only gotten one experience counter regardless of how many times it hit that creature it was still only one creature correct?

[@Natedogg2]

This is discussed in Gatherer: Each time Kelsien's last ability resolves, it creates a separate delayed triggered ability. If you untap Kelsien and activate its last ability multiple times in one turn, they'll each trigger when the appropriate creature or creatures die. Since they activated Kelsien's ability twice targeting the same creature, both delayed triggers will trigger when the creature dies and he gets two experience counters.

[@sigma7511]

@@Natedogg2 That doesn't seem right to me only because if it hits the same creature it is when that creature dies this turn and I dont see how a creature can die multiple times BUT if it is discussed and that is the correct way then hey I can't say anymore about it. Thank you for the explanation!

[@Natedogg2]

@@sigma7511 It's not dying multiple times. We just have multiple triggers that care about it dying. For example, if you control Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat in play and a creature you control dies, both abilities trigger. Blood Artist triggering doesn't stop the Cutthoat's ability from triggering, and vice versa. Since Kelsien's ability was activated twice targeting the same creature, there are two delayed triggers set up that will trigger if it dies later in the turn. So both will trigger when the creature dies, not just one of them.

Aggravated Assault's first effect untaps creatures for only five and he was gaining ten every time, allowing him to go infinite mana and infinite main/combat phases. Combat wise he had indestructible creatures because of Avacyn, and double damage take half thanks to his Gisela, Blade of Goldnight,

Imagine activating Parley once and taking the lead entirely. Lmfao

[@MaxMagic29]

We need extra turns and game knights once per week. It's definitely the best part. I don't even care who's playing jjst have one per week we wanna see magic played! Love the content

[@Mr_Landfall_MTG]

Not sure if you realize how much effort goes into each and every episode and the probably 100hrs or more it takes to edit each episode.

[@pokecrafter9999]

Quite a few rules issues in this episode, still good though

Yep.

[@MalteLewandowski]

Jordan's Deck seems to be at least one to two powerlevels above the rest, or was he just very lucky with his draws?

[@jayrpg9114]

its more like no one stopped him. Usually a deck like olivia and Kodama can get just as out of hand, but almost all of the removal was targeted at jake and murphs creatures as they had the earliest board states, while ashlen seemed to have a slow draw in a deck that is about being resilient to removal, which is much better in long drawn out games.

[@psy_p]

@@jayrpg9114 that Kodama cannot get out of hand easily.

[@TheClocktowerCrew]

21:38 im a bit confused, can someone explain to me why Kolaghan's Command was able to kill Gideon? He is neither a Creature nor a Player, and even with his (0) ability, he is only a creature till the end of the turn and is indestructible, preventing all damage done to him this turn.

[@simonauger689]

See comment below, this card Kolaghan's Command is prior to planeswalkers new redirection rule and so the rules on it has gotten an errata since to replace creature by any target.

Can someone explain to me how Kelsien can tap to do one damage (activated ability) and then also after still hit a player/creature with two damage after he’s tapped or am I seeing this wrong

[@nobohs8349]

Correction at 21:34, Ashley wouldn’t have been able to kill Gideon with Kolaghan’s Command because it says target creature or player and not any target or target planeswalker. Was still a great episode!!

[@theboyceMD]

She can, PW are considered “players” for this kind of direct damage, but now this effect reads “any target” to avoid this issue (including this card errata).

[@nobohs8349]

@@theboyceMD thanks for explaining this. It makes more sense now

[@isaiahrichardson5496]

Mostly unrelated to the video, but I didn’t know where else to find an answer. Can anyone fill me in on how an ashaya and tomik combo would work? Since everything is a forest land and a creature and tomik protects your lands from opponents, can they still target your creatures as such?

[@helderboymh]

Nope you can't Target lands including non-tokens that are now lands.

[@isaiahrichardson5496]

@@helderboymh thanks for the reply. So would a destroy target creature ability work on ashaya or another non token? I’m fairly new to magic so I’m slow with rulings and stuff.

[@helderboymh]

@@isaiahrichardson5496 nope, anything that says Target can't be cast on creatures.

[@joachimpearson4892]

man every time I see Samut played I just can't believe it- the card reads like it's going to be a bit quirky but it's just insane. It's so outrageously explosive, flash it in on end step and then when you untap, everything balanced by summoning sickness is broken instantly, and then broken again by the untap ability. I've never seen a game with her where she doesn't kill everyone faster than they can react

Infinite combat steps and indestructible... impressive!

[@danielsouza7983]

Jordan couldn't go for infinite attacks because the green mana would be lost when he declared attack, right?

[@JEDWOLFF]

At 21:39, how did Ashlen use Kolaghan's Command to destroy Gideon?

[@YaBoyEdGames]

Errata to cards that said creature/player now allow damage to planeswalkers too so it now says in oracle “any target”

[@jonathankolberg2706]

The gaias crade has summoning sickness, it was played the same turn, or is there an interaction with Nissa I missed.

[@helderboymh]

You are correct that it has summoning sickness but nissa also gives the land haste. This, btw, was done so that people don't need to be careful about tracking which lands were played this turn and to stop any confusion or discussion about wether the targeted land was played this turn.

[@psy_p]

[@mrmastashio315]

I feel like I'm making a mistake considering I haven't seen any other comments mentioning it, but how do you get more red mana to pay for the infinite combat steps via Aggravated Assault?

[@anonymouse8124]

Selvala lets you add mana in any combination of colours. I was thinking the same, but the answer is hidden on her text - it isn't colourless mana, it's any combination you want.

So that whole stack interaction between Murph, Jordan, and Ashlen, when Kelsien targets Vito then a couple more effects go on the stack then Ashlen sacs Vito to Yahenni, Murph says he gets an experience counter for Kelsien’s ability from Vito, but wouldn’t that ability not have resolved yet because everything else resolved before that ability?
