Commander Clash 1: Edric, Glissa, Omnath, Sen Triplets

[@MTGGoldfish]

This is our first try at Commander videos, so please leave some feedback on what worked, what didn't, and what you would like to see moving forward!

[@obeycelestia]

+MTGGoldfish This was GREAT! I loved it. :D

[@MTGGoldfish]

Thanks!

[@notoryous2]

+MTGGoldfish I havent even watched it and im stocked! I love all the channel's series. Please keep it up =D

[@kemtg]

+MTGGoldfish The screen was a mess but boy I loved it, at the beginning I was a little bit confused because I used to be on Seth's team while watching other videos but I got used to be on Tomer's side. You guys are funny to watch and I really liked the video, once again the only complain I may give is about the number of elements on the screen, I perfectly understand that any player must see all those elements but as a viewer I don't need all those tabs. I look forward to the next video, keep up the good job guys.

[@TheDerkudominus]

+MTGGoldfish Ok i have watched your budget set.. and against the odds series...I have an idea i need you to help me become a thing.. basically. Prismatic Omen / Last Stand. My integration is basically a G/R deck that summer blooms and loots for pieces..

[@Beowulfgang_Amadeus]

going back and watching this after seeing 2 and a half seasons i laughed out loud when Tomer wasnt sure who to attack with his very first attack, knowing later on the answer would always be Seth.

[@kaceangelo132]

you probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

[@cruztimothy8637]

@Kace Angelo instablaster =)

[@bittersithis]

It was fun to watch, it was easier to know what was going on than other paper magic youtubers (clonehead) which is good. Would have like to have seen more of Sen Triplets though and not a huge amount of obvious improvement, except for maybe showing the lesser known cards on screen a little longer so people can tell what they are, although that really wasn't a big deal. I look forward to future videos. EDIT: Oh yea, and as someone else commented, Seth was the reason I started watching this channel as well but hearing everyone decently evenly made this a really enjoyable watch particularly with the regular game banter.

[@Lolasaur0]

Wow, this is so crazy to watch 6 years into the future

[@JCass42]

One of my favorite channels is Gameplays by Clonehead for some really fantastic formatting for recording paper commander. That said, this was very different but super enjoyable in a totally different way. I got into this channel because I really enjoy Seth's commentary, but really, having all four of you for this was great. Commander is meant to be a super social format so having the joking around and the reactions to Seth getting smashed to -200something is perfect. I can't think of much I would change. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of these!

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Jeremy Cassidy Don't worry, I plan to continue all the other videos series, and hopefully add in some new one as well in 2016 :)

[@cruinard3710]

You have no idea how exciting it is to see a new commander series to watch.

[@LtWhiteWolf]

Can't believe I've seen this serie from start to finish, and I'm still as hyped as I was when they frist started. Good job guys!

[@chickungfu5647]

it's funny watching seth introduce everyone so many years later.

[@Childsp1ay]

I love this. I am so glad you guys are doing commander videos, as I love to watch people play this format. I do have a very few suggestions for you guys. 1. I would absolutely LOVE for you guys to let us, as fans/subscribers send you decklist for EDH decks of our own for you guys to play. Each week you could look through the comments of the last Commander video you've played & choose 4 random decklist use subscribers have posted. Then make & pit them against each other. 2. Let each person tell us a bit about their own deck, instead of one person commentating about each deck before the game starts. It will allow each person to describe how their deck works and how they built it, instead of a brief summary from someone who didn't make it. 3. I would love to keep hearing each person in a voice chat. The banter between players is pretty cool. I would stray away from using a facecam (as others suggested) due to the small amount of screen size we already have.

[@christinaandmarko]

That was the first commander game I've seen and it was AWESOME!!!

[@mrsilverbutton7786]

This was an amazing first video and I love the banter and back and forth, it's the classic commander format we all know and love. Also Sen Triplets whhyyy did you let Edric draw that many, just a bad bad idea lol

[@kayssj2]

I really liked this video. As a suggestion, i would say have each player present its own deck, so that we associate each voice with its deck from the beggining. Also, you refer to each other by your real names, which is okay but a bit disorienting. Maybe add your real names to the screen next to your online names so we know who is who?

[@MTGGoldfish]

+KadizKovers Thanks for the suggestions. The plan is to have each player introduce their own deck. We actually did it for this video, but we has a problem with the recording so I had to fill in for everyone at the last second :( Also great idea about the names!

[@gustavosolano4615]

So I decided that during the covid 19 pandemic I would rewatch the series of commander clash all over again. Lol I forgotten how funny and chill you guys was at the beginning, now it like you wanna be my friend please be my friend or die.

[@firedaemon33]

"Someone's going to die to infect." Little did they realize how prophetic their words would be...

[@joeloony]

I like the group, you guys make playing a pod of edh very fun! Enjoyed watching, keep up the good work!

[@imasiontist653]

"Not sure if richard has ever played commander" Richard: *always wins*

[@williammountfield8508]

How things change

[@AceFreestyle]

No facecam please.

[@mrTjstephens1]

Watching this Now versuses npw and how formal Seth is . This was fun to watch.

[@truefregn]

What happened at 17:15? Why didn't Tomer use Spellstutter Sprite and where did it go?

[@MTGGoldfish]

The recording crashed somehow, so that section was lost.

[@rainhunter5546]

so what happened?

[@SilverAlex92]

seth used the sprite, and jake responded with desertion. Desertion resolved, the spirte entered play, did nothing, golgari charm resolved and killed all fairies

[@thomaschapman7658]

*looks at watch* yeeeah I've got enough time to watch this series from the start again

[@jacobsiegler9709]

Loved the Vid! What game were you talking about where Mill won? That sounded cool :)

[@pawjack]

Well that was pleasantly insane.

[@williammountfield8508]

Seth plays a bounce land omg never before or since seen

[@brennonr]

Cloudseeder! Makes cloud sprites

[@twoblueuntapped886]

Going back to watch the old commander clash episodes and remembering why Tomer isn't allowed to play Edric anymore...

[@atle853]

7 Years later and Richard is still getting away with it

[@Lukesandomhiz]

I enjoyed this, hope to see more in the future, it'll be good no matter who hosts it. I'm not sure if it can be done, but can you hide the graveyard, exiled, revealed, commander tab? with 3 opponents it takes a lot of the screen space, I don't play edh on mtgo though, so I'm not sure. It's not a big deal either way. I started watching the KZbin channel for against the odds and budget magic videos, so I'm curious if you'll do voting for commanders or setting budgets for drcklists etc. I've never thought to check the website for edh related articles honestly, so I'll probably do that over the next couple of days!

[@Lukesandomhiz]

My bad, just looked at the website, I didn't realise you'd set a budget of 20tix.

[@PhazonOmega]

Glissa? I knew Sen Triplets, but this is extra sweet!

[@FiereZero]

I support this idea whole heartedly

[@ManyOtter]

Just getting into commander thanks to a friend buying me pre-con decks for Christmas the last 2 sets. Love the Edric deck. Any good ways to replace the 2 expensive extra turn cards in paper?

[@MTGGoldfish]

+TheGangreen88 In paper there are other less expensive options including Time Warp (about $11), Part the Waterveil (around $2) and Walk the Aeons (about $4).

[@Slapfight12]

Around 33:27, couldnt you return an island with your flier and play it again to get to the 3u?

[@Slapfight12]

Ah i just saw you have to return a forest. Mbad.

[@trevorfilipiak1247]

Great video! I enjoyed it, and I love your site. Keep up the good work everyone!

[@Tae_Grixis]

I was really hoping Sydri would have gotten to do more.

[@cassie7611]

White bordered lands? Seth, you monster!

[@evinmackie5764]

What is this platform they’re playing on?

[@ExKiwi-yw8er]

Why didn't the golgari charm get spellstuttered? Am I missing something? Or did he just hold it to keep the game long?

[@ExKiwi-yw8er]

+Daemon Quadros Guess it got countered. Wonder why the video skipped.

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Daemon Quadros There was an error with the video, so that minute and a half of footage was lot. Basically, Jake Spelljacked the Spellstutter which kept it from countering the Charm.

[@kingfuzzy2]

It's so beautiful

[@rodrigoavila4133]

first time watching this in 2022

[@esper4605]

The last hurrah for Prophet.

[@ferno9979]

Hi, I'm new to commander so if I was to build Tomers deck what should I replace the two extremely expensive cards with?

[@chrispriest4131]

My advice: Don't build his deck. Jakes joke near the end about the cost being a your friends hating you was only half in jest. Douchey loop decks like that (often involving extra turns) make commander not fun. It took 2 guys in my area playing decks like that (one of whom played edric) to kill commander for most of the players. Its hard to find anyone with a commander deck even put together now. They're fun to watch and can be fun to play, but they're zero fun to play against. Timer even said it'd be a one time thing, realizing, I think, that that's not how most people want to play, and not how commander was intended. If all the people near you just play hyper competitive high stakes then go for it I guess. In closing: the people around me who enjoy commander and will still occasionally play have built their own decks. They still do crazy, powerful things, but every else still gets to play to. I'd say look through legendary creatures until you find one you like, then build a deck around one you like, either because its abilities are cool, its the right colors, or because its a creature type you like. Commander is a tinkering format, where every card should do something a little different as you find the right balance to achieve your decks goals.

[@NickTBrick]

Chris Priest Wah! Stop liking things I don't like!

[@spom9898]

Very cool. Love the the video.

[@aryathewolf1961]

The days of old...

[@giovannifiorini5108]

this was awesome!!!! keep it up!

[@Bcdeano]

Would change the playspaces to be a bit more equal. Tough to see the other players stuff

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Bcdeano We'd love to, but that isn't an option on Magic Online :(

[@Bcdeano]

MTGGoldfish :(

[@mpepp9]

It's a shame Richard didn't use Triumph of the hordes on turn 6 and knock someone out the game. Sure, it's mean, but that's why the card's in the deck, right?

[@JC-hp4od]

The nostalgia tho

[@something9069]

Glissa should not be played as voltron in multiplayer. IMO she should instead play more of a turtle strategy with cards that hit multiple players like grave pact/dictate of erebos, exsanguate, etc while she ramps/draws up to very strong creatures like sheoldred, vorinclex, ulamogs, etc. The recursion should be used for artifacts that build on that strategy, like burnished hart + grave pact, executioners capsule, expedition map, birthing pod, thornbite staff, and eventually get a big genesis wave or tooth and nail creature combo. She does fine in multi player if its built properly and played properly (tutoring the right cards, playing them at the right time, etc) Something similar to this deck - www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/217127-glissa-the-traitor-recursion

[@Pacuvio25]

Why didn't you counter Golgari Charm?

[@wooboy11]

+Pacuvio25 Yeah, the video kinda skipped a beat for me, and then his creatures were dead. What happened? Why no counter?

[@toagabriel]

+Pacuvio25 looks like desertion from jake took the spellstutter sprite when tomer tried to cast it, and mana leak could be paid for

[@justicedragon7856]

i like face cam ideas seeing your guys reactions

[@timb1276]

"How it started..."

[@legoman727]

Thou shalt not suffer the Edric to live.

[@anonymous-dk3um]

keep these coming

[@crisgale8098]

why didn't Jake cast his commander turn 4?

[@crisgale8098]

or turn 5?

[@crisgale8098]

or turn 6 wow he's so dumb

[@NaviTheMD]

When someone dies u can minimize their window so the others can be bigger

[@rockerknight25]

Wow, Seth sounded a lot better when he wasn't doing that weird wheedley voice thing he does in the modern intros.

[@steleo1983]

May I know what software you guys are using?

[@teddy3967]

Mtgo

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Steve Leong It's Magic Online, the official client from Wizards of the Coast. You can find out more, or download the client, at www.mtgo.com

[@steleo1983]

MTGGoldfish Thanks...

[@crimsontheworld772]

yay their shouting me out right no?

[@samuraiwarrior87]

Jake do not ever let the edric player draw a billion cards idc what someone else is running and it scares you destory edric

[@crimsontheworld772]

samuraiwarrior87 my name is edric fuck you

[@DeisFortuna]

I want Tomer's deck, but it costs over $600 in paper, so ughhh.....

[@jonathandahlsten6156]

Like 550$ of it comes in the form of two of the extra turn spells, so it really is a very cheap deck.

[@yoye123]

So this is why Seth strip mine the island.

[@enabors249]

That was awesome!!!

[@CrashST2003]

CAN SOMEONE PLAY LOCUST GOD PLEASE

[@bigwig8657]

Big yikes, forgot seth literally started his commander career attacking for infect on turn 3. Dirty infect player

[@bbbeware]

love you guys

[@Redington931]

I didn't even know you could play Commander on MTGO. lol

[@HugSeal42]

way to late to the party, been working my way backwards through the series. But gaaah, strata scythe on forest would have been so many more powerz since it counts every land on teh battlefield.

[@exercisesinfutility1061]

Que raro suena Seth en ese tiempo omg!!!

[@yoye123]

#freeTheEdric

[@kesannwalrond-mcclean9781]

'Shun the infect player'

[@liamisafireplace]

I like comnander

[@mattt3481]

Magic

[@willgoyette4365]

Play Origins walkers so Nissa Liliana Kytheon Jace and or Chandra

[@renato1580]

And that show why Edric should be banned Don't be attacked with Edric in play and draw a lot of cards each turn with a bunch of extra turn spells... A bit too strong to me

[@Sarkhamy]

We have a rule at my mtg store. Edric dies first. Card is way to stupid.

[@crimsontheworld772]

Sarkhamy edric is my name fuck

[@jinxed3984]

Fml.

[@praxters]

How did Seth's voice get 1000x MORE annoying over time?
