Referring to Grixis as Wet Rakdos is so wildly appropriate! I am forever referring to Grixis… I mean Wet Rakdos as that name moving forward

[@enoesiw]

It's only wet Rakdos if it's primarily a Rakdos strategy with a splash of blue.

[@babydalekR2D2]

As a Grixis enjoyer, I personally play more of a Hot Dimir style

[@enoesiw]

@babydalekR2D2 I like to do the spell casty things, so I'm definitely more of a shadowy Izzet player. Just a hint of B shenanigans

[@rachasaur5]

greetings fellow Dark Izzet enjoyers

[@kevinwestermann1001]

​@@babydalekR2D2 Yeah, typically, Grixis is on the control side of things. Unless it's artifact durdling - then it's murky Izzet.

[@kylecarson3318]

These deck intro graphics are always wonderful

[@TheSuperDoubleG]

I’ve been playing a lot of Francisco/Thrasios, so I’m always happy to see my bird boy take some wins!

[@TheUrDragon25]

Aaron compulsively calling bowmasters 'bowmen' cracks me up 😂

[@MISFITSERAPH]

I move the francisco kraum be reffered to as kfc. Kraum Francisco Cauldron.

[@SylveonSimp]

alex is too good. he just sits there patiently end wins.

[@judgemoffatt4326]

Love seeing the goofy comments with the decks, makes me cackle without fail.

[@Raziel_ND]

Ballista Soup became a staple combo for Ob Nix as well!

[@PureLiquidLuck]

First time I am seeing that interaction between Cauldron and Frank - super nifty

[@yggdrasilraphael4815]

Me : “Oh Alex is doing something different than Heliod for a change!?” Alex : “So this Grixis deck with the bird actually wins with a Walking Ballista combo…” ❤️‍🔥

[@alexmcgregor8658]

I'm a very simple man

[@christopherclark4393]

I thoroughly enjoy the cedh content. The pacing is great and the game play is fun and explained well.

[@kellyperry5009]

Great game, great deck choices, thanks for the content!!

[@The1AndOnlyGoldenboy]

While Kraum is always good for the value, I wonder if Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker would work with Francisco. Esper has a decent amount of artifact synergies that'd make finding Agatha's Soul Cauldron even easier. Cards like Enlightened Tutor and Oswald Fiddlebender alone are good enough to consider making the shift, considering how important the Cauldron is, plus that color's protection and recursion effects would make it less fragile in cases where key pieces like the Cauldron get countered or otherwise handled.

[@Snorlxmax]

why am I always solid as a rock when these videos start?

[@vidgapbaker7588]

that was a awesome way to win. i hope you guys continue to find new ways to win

[@JJMickeyMedia]

Great game, guys!

[@alexmcgregor8658]

Like this comment if you wish Magistrate had better Vibes.

[@emilysmith2965]

Drannith “as long as I’m here, you’re working” Magistrate? Always harshing my mellow.

[@jdcommander7026]

Definitely the best game of cedh I watched just now

[@ElDocBruh]

Nice combo there. Alex is _probably good_ .

[@gabeempey1041]

I love watching these videos because I feel like i can learn a lot from them. Recently, I have found myself questioning the usefulness of board wipes especially when they aren't one sided and I think Aaron's blast act is a good example of this. Aaron's blast act removed magistrate and death rite which gave Alex the ability to combo of with his mander. Now obviously cEDH is competitive and I do not fault Aaron for saving his skin, because without it he would have died, but in doing so he paved the way for Alex to get the win. Obviously, I have the gift of hindsight so my analysis is bias, chances everyone at the table felt as though they could deal with Alex, which resulted in the game actions they took, but clearly that was not the case. I don't want to call the blast act a misplay, but my brain is just having a really hard time wrapping my head around if the card like that is even good. I would love to get other people's thoughts and feedback regarding this to help me escape the echo chamber that is my brain.

[@xxxzeroxxx8406]

To me it boils down to a lose-lose situation, essentially. Blasphemous is such a cheap spell 90% of the time that it feels like a solid include if your deck wants a creature wipe. Having said that, given what the deck wants to do with Dargo looping, killing Dargo doesnt really mean much if it paves the way for a victory on the same turn, as most decks tends to run a lot of hatebears nowadays that severely hinders stormy strategies. Was it a bad play? Not really. I dont think it was needed if it wasnt for the abysmal life total after "greeding" with the pain lands every turn. It was absolutely the right thing to do given Seedborn but its what happens when you dont draw into the things you need to win from it.

[@Spector02]

I LOVE Alex's shirt!!❤

[@blazerboy55]

Hello this is a comment about conceding so that the Bond lands enter tapped

[@WiLDRAGE777]

Any reason Anim Pakal is not in the Jetmir deck? Is she just too new and the deck hasn't been updated? She's done tremendously wherever I've put her.

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Yeah we filmed this in early November. Definitely a good addition!

[@lostlyric5548]

Do you guys still have open lists for patrons to send in their own ? Along with any type of deck tech for advice to upgrade etc

[@fafadfadfdaf4611]

Holy shit they did it, they broke walking balista. Never seen that combo before though, kudos

[@jodryclayton5991]

Sweet game!

[@WhiteWizard42]

that Crop Rotation into a Bojuka Bog would've been incredible. Bog needs more respect in cEDH.

[@manadorkuk]

Is it wet rakdos or spicy dimir?

[@yggdrasilraphael4815]

Did Elliott have a Bojuka Bog in the Tayam deck ? Crop Rotation could have saved the pod ^^

[@mandielyn0416]

Gamegenics, producer of fine cardboard protection products and the greatest pelvic thrust workout music.

[@crovax1375]

If you're already playing Drannith Magistrate, is it worth it to also play Uba Mask?

[@kevinwestermann1001]

Boros using Welder effects is also fine.

[@Minijibbleflab]

Reminder that with oppo agent you control them while they search, so you get to see ANY hidden info such as hand, morphs, etc

[@jadanejda9674]

No Crop Rotation for Bojuka Bog to Exile the Ballista? :o

[@ggangulo]

sick win.

[@CheeseWedge056]

Fun police here: you cannot "just pay 4", as you cannot pay a nonexistent cost. You can, however, add 4 mana to your mana pool and not use it for anything, allowing it to leave your mana pool as you move between steps and/or phases.

[@TalenLee]

Francisco is an absolute champion, what a cute trick

[@kjart]

Awesome game

[@taylorjohnson5148]

Cool francisco deck

[@towelociraptor]

Wet rakdos is still the right name for grixis

[@MNman87]

You sicko! dranith magistrate in a go wide token deck !

[@Limkmc]

Addeline really is just najeela at home

[@lavandereisly4194]

Ok, but like, if there's a Glacial Chasm in Elliot's deck, that crop rotation would actually save him for at least some time.

[@slymcfly123]

Eliot should have looked at Aaron's hand after Op agent.

[@ryanjensen1945]

Did anyone count up how much damage Aaron took from his manabase that game?

[@nsaneg00n74]

Can’t find the bastions anywhere and my LGS can’t order them because they are always out of stock

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

They told me they are working on a big restock to distributors right now

[@nsaneg00n74]

@@TheSpikeFeeders Amazing! I currently have 3 and I wanna have all my decks in the bastions they are fantastic!

[@noise.s]

What if Aaron isn't killed last and to be pity kills himself with lands on target to not let francisco get his counter back tho

[@ashiaka2776]

It's generally considered BM to do something like that. It's definitely a Rule 0 thing, and if you scoop it's feasible that the rest of the pod just gives the trigger anyway.

[@wesleystunt-hansford3431]

SPOILERS Random thought, and correct me if I'm wrong - But if in response to Francesco pinging Aaron on the last round, could he kill himself with his lands to stop the loop? The damage would fizzle, so Francisco wouldn't Explore again? If i'm right, it would mean it would come down to sequencing, and if Alex killed Eliot, then tried to kill Aaron, and in response Aaron kills himself, Jim might still be alive if the loop was interrupted.

[@danmatthiesen9160]

technically yes, but in cEDH circles it is considered bad manners to "spite play," or do a play that actively hurts you just to screw one of the other players over

[@vOid-tl3tj]

Yeah, but he has no reason to do this, Aaron still loses either way, so there is no point to do that.

[@famousstranger8468]

Jetmir gang let's go!

[@lihailaowai1381]

I'm so sad that we got grixis instead of wet rakdos.

[@pookygallahad4749]

This comment brought to you by interaction gang, please play interaction. Thank you.

[@devinkerr5474]

I know. I KNOW that Ada-LEEN is a correct pronunciation, but I've always heard Ada-LINE and it sounds wrong otherwise.

[@johnveit2139]

Shouldn't Eliot have seen Aaron's hand during the opposition tutor

[@avall0nNn1992]

Yes, Opposition Agent lets you Look at the hand of the player while you control them.

[@DarthChewdup]

wet rakdos is just regular rakdos

[@kaasham8871]

still think that the why your playing and keeping hands are more high power then cedh. turn 3 and almost nothing on field..

[@Rishkar-Peema-Pants]

What

Why's that one guy look like Guga Foods???
