The lists for both Atraxa as well as Alena + Halana seem to have only 99 cards.

Kathleen appearing on both sides of the table during the Mindslaver turn was an excellent gag.

[@MentallyGrimm]

If you look, during that little gag Fele does a double-take when he looks over at the Kathleen still sitting at the table like he didn't expect her to be there lol.

[@otsokarhu9695]

I was upset that the Atraxa triggers weren't resolved, reasoning that all those cards would be discarded at the end of turn getting closer to decking. Turns out she saw the threads of silliness I was blind to

[@yohanesparuntu4980]

I once mindslaved an op in 2010s with his greater good on the field and killed all my opponents and basically made him draw his whole deck and sacrificed all his creatures to lose to deck out. He was about to win that turn. And i luckily had enough to top deck mindslaver, cast and then activate. Lol My deck was Selesnya captain Sisay

[@QuietlyHere666]

Not exactly the same but pretty close; enchanting an opponents creature with "Lunarch Mantle" and then taking their turn with emrakul... sacrificing everything to the mantle

putting a counterspell in the shop right after 'discard your deck for a cyclonic rift' is peak comedy

It kind of mattered too because she had the exact mana to activate mindslaver later. But it also didn't matter because it was a very silly (if entertaining) game.

I appreciate that Kathleen found a creative way to 'unalive' every person at the table during the Mindslaver madness.

[@caseywellington4761]

Honestly combining the legendary Sign in Blood kill with a Mindslaver turn was amazing, but the fact that she killed EVERYBODY in one turn was incredible

[@caltheuntitled8021]

This reminds me of a card from one of Hearthstone’s single player adventures called “wondrous wisdom ball” that occasionally “gave helpful advice”. It plays itself at the start of the game, and the for the rest of the game, it will randomly give you some usually helpful effect. Some of it’s advice includes “draw an extra card while your opponent isn’t looking”, “you really seemed to like that -minion- creature, why don’t you re summon it” and “you know, losing life makes you lose”.

[@-Solaris]

Long live the frog queen 🐸 👑 That was a crazy duel 😂👍 So many twists and turns. I would love to see another commander shop duel

[@brennanbuglioni2821]

Mindslaver and mindslaver effects always lead to the funniest wins. I played a commander pod years ago where I was playing Ydris Cascade Storm and my friend took my turn with a mindslaver and then proceeded to use my deck to storm off and kill the other two players and myself with my own deck. My favourite game I’ve ever lost for sure.

[@Breadcutter]

This collab is like mtg content heaven, and collab i would never have expected but I’m so hyped about

[@bricelory9534]

This was a fun format - and I think it might have a bit of a meta that you could get a good few games out of the gimmick. Especially if you randomize when Carl messes with the person who buzzes vs is a vendor. Great work all!

Imagine if there was actually a Gaea's Blessing in Thoralf's deck. Given that he didn't know the contents of his library, he might have have been totally fine!

Wow, Graham's last turn was so wild! Why did he play like that? His choices were very questionable, but it's up to him, I guess.

[@nathanhall2689]

@@CardmarketMagic how about something kinda similar to this one? what about you mix magic and monopoly just a tad. Everyone has a deck that cares about rolling dice or flipping coins, when you role a dice that also moves your piece on the monopoly board (if you would flip a coin you also role 1d6 for the monopoly board). Each property has a card (perhaps a token copy to help prevent certain nonsence you can do with non-tokens) that when you buy it you put that card on your battlefield. If you get jailed you skip your next turn, but you don't have to worry about the rolling doubles to get out of jail on the monopoly board. Properties can not be auctioned and if you cant afford it you just dont get to buy it. If you trade or sell a property to someone they gain control of the associated card. If that card would leave the battlefield you lose ownership of that property on the monopoly board and it goes back to the bank

​@@CardmarketMagic next (of a series?): every cycle of turns, everybody chooses a "piece" of a card to compose a new one, then everybody adds a token copy of that (or cast it, whatever it must be) like an activated, static or triggered ability, some keywords, power/thoughness for creatures, colors & types, you name it. Do you like a "flock of paradise"? (0/6 for GGG that T: Add 3 mana of any one color) Or a "brass-steel colossification" (enchantment giving +4/+4, indestructible, trample, the self-shuffling into the library and becoming an artifact)? or an artifact with "T: everybody draws a card, then lose life equal to the amount of cards in their hands. Everybody can activate this ability" and "whenever a spell is casted, untap this messy thing." ? Or a "Phage, the Crowd-Lover" that has the text box of "Karona, False God", it's must attack each turn if able, and "whenever she deals combat damage to a player, if that player has 40 or more life, he/she win the game. The game continues normally without that player." Or .. just to troll : "Magus of the Chaos Warp", but it's a Frog with Shroud and Defender? And deathtouch, despite being a 0/2 blue and green.
