Chulane vs Kykar vs Yuriko Turns vs Scion of the Ur-Dragon | cEDH Gameplay | Casually Competitive

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

*SPOILERS* - Quick clarification for the DT cast later in the game: This Kykar deck is new to the table and when Bill cast DT no one double-checked the ruling on it requiring two creature targets. There were many other valid creature targets at the time on boards of Bill’s opponents. If Bill had targeted one of those creatures it wouldn’t have made a huge difference in the game. If he hit one of Adam’s creatures, Adam would have still very likely been able to get a single Ninja through for the Yuriko trigger, and if he had targeted either one of Jordan’s or Joseph’s creatures it would have died due to Jordan losing the game or the Damnation cast. We will do our best to be more attentive to these issues and do what we can to catch them in the future.

That's definitely the most creative pronunciation of Chulane I've ever heard

My favorite is Koo-lane, the gaelic really knew how to mess up the spelling of a word

[@isaiahharris1637]

Did he say hulan

[@robwormuth7838]

@@isaiahharris1637 Yes! Chulane is an anglicized version of the Irish "Chulainn". The "ch" sound loses a real voice when said. So, "Chulane" is meant to be pronounced "HULL-en". Much like the word "sullen".

8:55 Joseph could've actually paid for the study (or left his land untapped) because Priest of Titania taps for 3 in this scenario. The Changeling Outcast is an elf and Priest of Titania cares about all elves on the battlefield

[@denw0]

These videos are amazing. They should catch on like crazy if I'm not crazy myself.

[@SacredMagic13679]

Just commenting to let you know the algorithm is working in your favor, this was suggested to me this morning. The clarity of the deck techs was superb, I look forward to watching the rest of the video.

[@garyoakes1869]

I just found you guys and just wanted to say you're awesome! There is never enough great commander gameplay on youtube and you guys show that for sure. Cant wait to see all your future videos.

[@tydd700]

I am very much enjoying these videos. Keep up the great work! The commentary is on point and the graphics for the life totals and cards are really professional looking. It is easy to tell that there is a lot of work and passion behind these videos.

[@MtgArdeen]

cEDH games are so fun to watch when all the cards are shown in the middle and things are explained, congratz and i hope for many more episodes. As for commander i would like to see, i believe Marath can be build both competitively and fun!

[@jordanburton9819]

This channel is one of my favorite game play channels for EDH, the decks fit my level of play so well. The speed at which content is released is sick. Keep up the good work

Sage owl has such pretty artwork! Great game as always guys! :D

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Agreed! I'm personally a big fan of some of those older card artworks, Sage Owl definitely included. Glad you enjoyed the gameplay!

Love the video! Love the pace of all your games. Love the reading of the interactions and responses players may have. Even after watching all the games, I don't remember any of the players names. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of who a person is swinging at. If your buddies are down, you should post a picture of each of their faces. Would be nice to have a face to the name. On each turn, maybe highlight their board?

[@Wolfipls]

I liked the power level of the decks in the video. A suggestion: show the cards on screen that are being tutored.

[@samuelstilger2703]

I really love this content. Personally, I'm beginning to enjoy this more than a lot of the more established channels. But seriously, were you meming about how you pronounce 'CHEW-LANE'?

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

I based my pronunciation based on how the competitive primer for him broke down his name. I'll paste it here: "Chulane is an Anglicisation of Chulainn, from the Ulster cycle of Irish myths of Cu Chulainn (Chulainn’s Hound). While the “ch” at the beginning should actually be the voiceless velar fricative (like a rolled “h”, or an “h” crossed with an “x”), that’s not a common place sound in English, so use a standard “h” sound. The rest of the word is pronounced “HULL-en” (rhymes with “sullen”). Not CHOO-lane. Please."

[@xChikyx]

i think it's pronounced "chew lane" too

[@feedbacker9385]

@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG Really appreciate the due diligence here, tbh!

[@6mmtactics385]

Love the round, very good plays, but I was as well distracted by the way you kept saying the name, maybe tell the viewers that your doing that, because I was getting annoyed and was about to flame it up on a post, then I saw your comment and was like, “Huh, it would have made sense if I knew that from the start too”

Holy crap, I watched you first video yesterday and went to your channel to see if you had any Yuriko gameplays (I am a yuriko player) and looked on my main page today and look what’s being played. Guess I can tell the future. :) Nice video too, super quality content and super underrated, keep it up 🙂

[@DiviningBot]

Loving this channel, guys! Can't wait for more content.

[@jbs6614]

As a Yuriko main, this is how she must be played. Compared to the other channels that showcase Yuriko, this has the best gameplay I’ve seen. Mine’s lower to the ground in cmc, but the gameplay feels right with this one 👍

[@Sliver_Boi]

It was more of a rushed rebuild. I definitely want to switch a couple cards around, but it worked pretty good this time around.

[@davturttle]

Love the content. Great work, especially for being a newer channel. I would love to see more Chulane gameplay or even Korvold. One potential criticism of this match, I believe that due to the steps of combat you can cast winds of rebuke in response to moving to the damage step after blockers have been declared which would have been a way to bounce oni or yuriko after it had been ninjutsued which if I am not mistaken probably would have changed the final pace of the game. May not have mattered but may be something to keep in mind.

[@Grunik1618]

Bill needed to target two creatures with Divergent Transformations. It doesn't say "up to".

[@RaphMasterC]

Nice game. I loved the video! Don't forget that in Eternal formats such as Commander, the order of cards in graveyards is important. For example, Gamble should be on top of the discarded card and Damnation should be on top of the destroyed creatures. Of course, this had no effect on this game but it's something to think about. :)

Usually the 4 biggest CMC spells you got left in your library then usually a spell to get rid of blockers or make your creatures unblockable for a huge attack

I might be wrong, but when casting a creature while controlling Chulane, you have to put a land into play before you draw a card.

You are not wrong. Magic cards are written for the primary language of their players: English. Read the names in basic English phonetics and you will never be far from the exact pronunciation.

Where in the WORLD did that pronunciation for Chulane come from? Is that something official from somewhere? It LOOKS like Choo-Lane, but maybe I'm missing some kind of context that would make it pronounced the way you did it? o_O

[@dave_eagle2787]

Commit to memory is a 4 cmc card normally, you don’t combine the mana cost like you do with fuse spells

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

This is incorrect. Look up ruling on split cards. Unless the spell is on the stack the cmc is the combination of both halves.

Hey Bill, nice jacket

[@brcienpartin5462]

Dope game

[@leudyrodriguez2488]

I think selecting targets happens before a spell is considered "cast." you can't resolve a trigger in the middle of casting a spell, you have to wait for it to actually go on the stack. So you wouldn't have a token to sacrifice this way to the divergent transformation.

[@ashra8281]

Right. So kykar puts a trigger on the stack when the spell is cast. So the spell is cast that's level 1 A spirit is created that's level 2 Level 2 is let resolve. Before Level 1 resolves he then activated kykars ability sacrifing the spirit. Therefor there's only 1 creature for the spell Yes he wouldn't of been able to exile the spirit to the spell but he sacrifices it then because he's losing his commander when the spell resolves

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

The way Ashra explained it is correct. Targeting Kykar happened as the spell was cast, but the spirit was created from Kykar's ability from casting a non-creature spell allowing Bill to sacrifice the created spirit for a red before exiling Kykar when DT resolves.

[@leudyrodriguez2488]

@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG sorry I assumed that his second target for the spell was the spirit. I didn't know he thought it was fine to cast it with only one target.
