SmallAnt had at least one more turn. The three mana from Hydra’s Growth wasn’t subtracted so the Prof wouldn’t have been able to play Ram Through at the end. I wish he would’ve rolled at the end so we could’ve at least seen if he died from that 😂 A super fun game though!

[@catjazzhappycat7273]

So I got to the part where there should have been a pop-up explaining the rules violation but it didn't happen and now I'm seeing all the chat about how she got away with cheating....

As a small learning opportunity for all of us: the Genesis Ultimatum should have resolved entirely, and only then would the Cavalier of Gales trigger go on the stack.

[@Pandajannick]

@@yonigle8553 It would actually be: 2 cascades on the stack, resolve one and find ultimatum, cast that, get things on the battlefield put etbs on the stack in the order she decides, resolve them, do second cascade

[@symmetrybokte]

no, the second cascade would not resolve before the genesis ultimatum, because cascade forces you to cast the exiled card immediately

[@RasmusVJS]

@@yonigle8553 That's incorrect. "Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second cascade ability. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability. "

That Cavalier of Gales killed me metaphorically

[@Alejandrodemontana]

Oh pk fire indeed

[@Alternative-Works]

The old begging for mercy into evil mastermind play...

[@DrkNinja_]

Just a heads up, especially for anybody seeing this and wanting to build malestrom wanderer, there was a large blunder with how things resolve in this game. The Genesis ultimatum has to finish resolving in its entirety before any of those enter the battlefield effects happen. This means that the cavalier of gales does not give her an opportunity to set up the next two cards that Genesis ultimatum flips, which means there could have been a whiff. Whenever a spell is on the stack and is putting cards into the battlefield that spell has the completely resolve before those ETBs can affect anything on the board.

[@StephenChristopher07]

I was thinking the same thing

[@mrsplays9817]

However, she would've gotten to cascade into one of those two 7-drops anyway instead of the ramp spell.

[@mrrodgers0]

Also, both avenger abilities would have triggered simultaneously (assuming it was in her top 2 before the cavalier messup) because it and stomping ground entered simultaneously, allowing her to get 4 more power on the board.

[@mrrodgers0]

@@mrsplays9817 I think the seven drops were drawn with cavalier based on the evil cackle, so she would have gotten at least one of them anyway.

[@outbreakprime6246]

I was just about to say, as a First Sliver player, I have had to take a course in how these plays resolve(cuz my friends hate my deck and argue any plays I make lol). Bloody made a great deck but fumbled big time. First she didn't finish her Cascade with Maelstrom, and then she didn't finish the Genesis Ultimatum.

[@ThereIsAnExtension2UndoHandles]

@@EWSwot well, yes, but the two of them were worried about whether Smant would survive the mana crypt so he could get a turn and hopefully take Prof down. even though he DID survive the crypt and get his turn (despite it not helping), they could have worked together to remove the possibility of the crypt killing him entirely

25:20 L2 Gemesis Ultimatum should have ended resolving before resolving Cavalier of Gales. You look at the top five cards at the same time and then choose the pernaments that you want to put on the battlefield. All of them enter the battlefield at the same time.

[@ty_sylicus]

I was expecting a Professor pause here but, they somehow missed it.

[@XiaosChannel]

i guess they just pretended to not notice for the camera

[@asimplefuture_]

They generally catch after the fact and do the "This was done wrong. In reality..." but there was none. :( A ruling they missed will happen sometimes.

[@ReyosBlackwood]

Yes and this mistake could have MASSIVE impact on the game since it messes with the cards revealed by the ultimaturm

[@balanced_play_4956]

They seem to not be following the rules regarding the way spells resolve, Instead opting for a house rule of action by action resolve. Looks fun either way

[@nickyg14]

That Genesis Ultimatum was definitely not resolved correctly. You can't resolve the Cavalier of Gales ability until the 5 cards from GU are already decided.

[@GoDzJtFr]

I'm not so much surprised that Genesis Ultimatum was resolved incorrectly (even with my main playgroup I find people can make mistakes with these kinds of effects), but more surprised that even the editor missed it and they didn't have one of the Prof's "Judge" moments to explain the issue.

I think genesis ultimatum resolves all at once. You don't reveal card after card one at a time. You can't use a creature that brainstorms in the middle of the resolving. But it would impact the second cascade trigger from maelstrom wanderer.

[@AronFiechter]

Yes, all spells and effects must resolve completely and anything that gets triggered during the resolution goes on the stack and gets resolved later. This is exploited for example when flickering Toothy, Imaginary Friend, to draw a card for each counter on him when it leaves the battlefield but still put all counters back onto it because of said draws, because the flicker effect must resolve completely before the draws happen.

[@suazaa8719]

Loved the content! I hate to be a downer, I know its a casual game, but there were some rulebreaks in the beginning there. Both Kamahl's Druidic Vow and Genesis Ultimatum must resolve in their entirety before any triggered abilities happen from cards entering the battlefield. So those 3 cards drawn from the ultimatum creature trigger would happen after all 5 cards are drawn/put into play. All triggered abilities would then happen simultaneously and you (the spellcaster) get to choose the order in which you stack those abilities. It can get quite complicated, if you want to keep your sanity don't ever cast 'Eureka' in commander when everyone's got a full hand.

[@1Thunderfire]

Just played my first proper game of Magic last night and it was so much fun. Everyone was really nice and helpful and it just felt good getting out and socialising with people.

[@savagezerox]

@51:52 the Hydra's Growth was taken from the 17 floating green mana making the remaining floating mana = 14. Helix Pinnacle for 1 makes floating mana = 13. By then, a player incorrectly says Prof has 17 mana, which Prof corrects to 16, when in fact it was 13. Blanchwood Armor for 3 makes floating mana = 10. Bear Umbra for 4 makes floating mana = 6. Prof still has access to 3 mana by land right now. Nylea's Colossus for 7 means his floating mana is exhausted by 1, meaning that 1 mana needs to come from one of his 3 mana possible from his lands. So at this point he has access to only 2 mana via his lands. He does not have enough mana to play Snake Umbra for 3. That said, he did have the 2 mana to play Ram Through, and did legitimately win. The only error here was playing the Snake Umbra he couldn't play. The Prof did a great job and absolutely deserved this win.

[@sadarot]

If I am not wrong he miscounted his enchants though as he missed the enchantress presence, so his creature would have another +2/+2 and he would get 2 more green mana. Therefore get enough Mana.

I couldn't stand it

[@rathlord]

Hey Prof, awesome episode! Very fun, having SmallAnt on the show was great and congrats on your first win (haha).

at 6:25 she cant play her commander as it requires 2 black and a collorless but she only has one black mana

[@jonasnow]

Also I think you look at the cards with the ultimatum and THEN you play them and resolve triggers

[@roynicorn8361]

I actually love the idea of choosing the starting hand, everyone basically got to do what their deck is intended to do. Would be amazing to see more of this, obviously again without anyone preparing a deck for this very challenge.^^

[@lightsabermario]

One of my decks, in that situation, would've taken infinite turns on turn one, with no changes to the decklist. It's a super janky build, designed to do super janky things, but I didn't realize it could do that. 😅 The craziest part is: it's a Boros deck.

[@RiseInAfterlife]

Till you have a Thoracle player sitting on the table.

[@O_violet]

No words can properly describe the happiness felt when your favorite youtubers also play magic 😂

[@jerramebutler8596]

I really enjoyed watching this. I knew of the channel but have just now gotten a new playgroup so I'm returning. I want to point out that Prof's suit jacket is awesome and all of these decks were really enjoyable to watch go off. Who knew Thrun was so deadly!

[@lillian9161]

Love Ant and Bloody, can't wait to see the Prof nuzlocke pokemon for the next collab

[@Nouxatar]

nuzlocke draft, 5 pack cube draft but if a creature leaves the battlefield it's removed from your draft pool for the rest of the competition ((this is probably a really bad idea))

[@Jupue]

You probably need more cards, maybe bundlesealed could work

[@Nouxatar]

@@Jupue yeah that's maybe what I was thinking, I thought 5 packs instead of 3 would be enough of an increase but maybe it does need more, bundle sealed is also a thought

[@johnt6773]

Holy cow Smallant has way more luxurious hair than I thought Ant Colony rise up

[@banihex]

That is the craziest turn I've ever seen someone take, and I will now have to go follow her on Twitch or wherever!

[@sanfranfan53]

Cool collection of Monarchs in this game! Fun decks! I love seeing a Mono-Green deck pull off the win. A very cool build with the Thrun Voltron. “Thrun big!” “Thrun smash!” “Thrun kill!” *stomping ensues*

[@ignaciocampusano5870]

Love this group energy! Besides, prof and smant was the combination I never knew I needed

[@Spotifist]

Yoooo! Shuffle up & play never dissapoints with its guests, love to see it! Haven’t watched the full thing yet but the speedrun concept is cool!

[@singleplayerparty3899]

The whole video was worth watching just for "The Wink". Thanks Prof!

[@vern2667]

I love that prof calls out Rebel first as the possible deck builder.

[@camael4209]

OMG the crossover i never knew i needed! I love Smant! he's such a chill dude and his content is great!

[@ericap1098]

This brought me so much joy. Prof, I love your channel, and Eilidh, Elder Dragon Hijinks is something I look forward to every Thursday. Bloody seems awesome (love the villainous laughter, and her hair is gorgeous), as does SmallAnt.

[@ActionBastard666]

Amazing Loved watching this!

[@TheMonsterClips]

Such a fun game! Professor always brings on the best guests.

[@jacobb5564]

Omg, smallant plays magic!

[@zobeking5647]

How did I not know this already

[@matheuscastello6554]

omg bloody and smant in here, that's so nice to see :D big fan of both of em

[@colinpoling8011]

these videos never seem to have KZbin ads for in-video sponsor pitches thank you Tolarian!

[@mechabunnyzilla]

when Prof says he didn't even looked to edhrec, the close captions say "edh Shrek" lol congrats on the win and the great deck Prof, loved tron Thrun!

[@VijoPlays]

I was so excited to see Smant and he did not disappoint even a single bit!

[@josht8156]

This was so much fun! Would love to see Smallant again was super great! Also I'm shocked to see the Professor won a game of Magic The Gathering 😮

[@oleanderhawthorne510]

I just recently started watching bloody, so I'm super surprised to see her here! Such a fun crossover video of some of my favourite pokemon youtubers and magic youtubers!!

[@LorenceLinzWrightwoo]

that wink those i was thinking dont say anything and then he looked at the camera and winked... that was great
