Commander Clash 10: Theros Gods

[@tristanedley]

This is an excellent series. You guys are genuinely funny and engaging. Keep it up!

[@th3TwistedLight]

Can't wait for Phenax commander. Who will grind the opponents' sanity and libraries to dust with spells and butts ?

[@Dragiceoriginal]

I don't think Tomer noticed it, but his hellkite, + xenagos, + aggessive assault was actually enough to kill seth

[@tomerabramovici32]

+Steam Vents Yeah I thought I was 1 devotion away from xenagos but neglected aggressive assault :(

[@Dragiceoriginal]

Tomer Abramovici You'll get em next time buddy!

[@feralwolf5452]

it's sketching me out that tomer just empties his mana pool for no reason

[@martypunker]

You know, if Seth was going to win, glad to see he could do it with a very Seth deck. Awesome ending.

[@gustavosolano4615]

Win Richard 4 Tomer 4 Seth 1 Congrats for the first win lol Draw 1

[@HeyYourPartOfIt]

i request a biovisionary Against the Odds. nothing would make me happier than watching Seth try to win like that for 45 minutes

[@brningpyre]

"dye-ity" Is Seth contagious?

[@nyarlotep]

Seth is my favorite player, his decks are always so funny to watch.

[@the_persuader509]

Seth makes the most interesting decks. So glad to see EDH games with his creations. Against the odds EDH for the win!

[@danielvess945]

9:08. did you even add forests tomar?

[@danielvess945]

tomer*

[@wertis20]

i love how the pauper edh game was more than twice as long as this one

[@tomerabramovici32]

Never again!

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Tomer Abramovici do it again!

[@liamnesbit4332]

Ahh, I knew Seth would play Kruphix...

[@samb123078]

No spy kit in the biovisionary combo?

[@robertromero5930]

Couldnt tomer have killed Seth with the helkite? Pumped it and then took another combat step and repumped?

[@rockwarlock9573]

Good question... I think so

[@1zl541]

Richard stole Jake's deck, so Jake stole Richard's logic :P

[@Iithuanianboy]

I'm so happy Seth is playing Kruphix :,) he's my favourite commander.

[@coreysierchio4650]

+Patrick Jenish "He didn't really PLAY the commander."

[@Iithuanianboy]

Yeah that's a fair point. I got excited and wrote that when I opened the video. He didn't really play a Kruphix style deck anyways. It's definitely a Set deck though.

[@closetpan]

I have Amonkhet stuck in my head. So with Ley Lines you can flash in "As Foretold" and start with 1 counter that would be awesome.

[@WBWhiting]

Did Richard put No Mercy in his deck? I love it in my Rakdos control EDH deck.

[@richardmtggoldfish5723]

+WBWhiting I did.. just didn't draw it before I died. You could say that the group showed me... No Mercy. (•_•) / ( •_•)>⌐■-■ / (⌐■_■)

[@eXdXgXe4life]

Another home run guys! Theros Gods are all amazing and I think underutilized in commander m

[@dmany13]

oh next week is shards I wonder who picks the mayel the anima deck one of my.favs

[@musicmojo100]

what site are you guys on?

[@thrashingrhino3212]

Did seth ever cast his commander? If not he should lose the game because flavor fail!!

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Jacob Reitmeier I think I've cast my commander once...in the entire series :)

[@coreysierchio4650]

+Jacob Reitmeier "Seth seems to rarely EVER cast his commander."

[@Volvary]

Unless his commander is important to the combo.

[@WildcardZwei]

Very nice. Disappointed there was no Athreos or Pharika, but this wasn't a bad selection. Major props to Seth for winning with an Against the Odds theme. I wanna see @JakeStiles play a Jenara turbofog deck for Alara shard week. Also Tomer and friends, please don't play Sharuum artifacts since it has been beaten to death like a dead horse. P.S. : I wonder if it's a coincidence that I asked for Alara shards last week and it's happening? XD Maybe if I recommend original Commander set commanders like Tariel and Zedruu and Khans wedges like Narset and Yasova those will happen too? :D

[@tomerabramovici32]

+AzizidarkReborn We always discuss feedback and suggestions when deciding what theme to play next, so if you brought up Alara last time it's likely to have been an influence for it! Also don't worry, Sharuum doesn't show up next week.

[@WildcardZwei]

Thanks for the feedback, Tomer. That means a lot. :)

[@naughtyg728]

Great video and series!

[@thecigaroman]

Why do you guys always tap out before passing the turn?

[@martypunker]

It's so MtGO doesn't ask them to pass priority. It speeds it up, basically.

[@TheMonyarm]

why do they tap their remaining land before ending their turns?

[@MTGGoldfish]

It just makes it easier to pass the turn on Magic Online.

[@kaedox]

Savage Ventmaw seems like it's fit really well in tomers deck. 6 mana when it attacks and all.

[@quarth9396]

why exactly are you taping your lands before passing? I don't get the reasoning behind it

[@manvsmanatee1793]

If they don't have fast effects, it stops them from getting priority and having to pass

[@quarth9396]

@@manvsmanatee1793 Holy shit dude, i forgot i used to play magic 2 years ago lol. Thanks for the random nostalgia trip, i did not expect that

[@almogdov]

Easier way to win with Biovisionary is with Infinite reflection :D

[@veras7927]

It works better on paper than in practice.

[@NvrNrml]

would charger, xenagos trigger, aggravated assault not deal with seth? correct me if I'm wrong but he couldn't block, yeah tomer still dies but that's way better than doing nothing haha

[@bajexe]

These are great. Shame it ended so fast this week though

[@raimundopilotto2675]

A laught a lot with the Sakashima thing!!! It was a funny match :3

[@kelvinhu2063]

What's F8?

[@anonymous-dk3um]

45 min in why didnt he play the hellkite charger?!

[@twarnold14]

+Anon ymous Unless I'm missing something, or unless the Seth had a response, I think he could have played the charger, brought Xenagos online, swung with it in the air double power and the forestwalker, and use his enchantment to get a second attack. That would be 20 damage in the air alone. Not saying he would have had defenses next turn, but he was dead anyway. Might as well take someone with him.

[@branofilipovic9608]

When Seth was asking whether you could win, I think you could. Xenagos boost your creature at the beginning of each combat step right ? So you attack with 4/3 forestwalk, pay 5 for assault, attack with 8/7 forest walk, pay 5 for assault and attack with 16/15 forest walk = 28 unblockable dmg if he didnt have answer in hand (although he probably had one since he was sitting on 7 cards). Or am I wrong and Xenagos boost your creature only once per round ?

[@branofilipovic9608]

Oh they mentioned it in video few seconds later.

[@malikchristie6511]

My sidisi is built the same way as Seth's Kruphix deck

[@ASMRBoosters]

such a fun video!! I just opened the new edh precons on my channel and they're so fun too

[@dmany13]

all.you need for iroas is a haste.enabler and double strike for the deck. also the aggro isn't.in the 3 drops in commander. it starts at 4. hero of bladehold I think and other decent ,4 drops. it's how my iroas deck is set up to deal with raths is to always expect them.and never go too wide. also it doesn't matter if iroas isn't active he great as an enchantment

[@vampiricsloth]

btw kids for running aggro decks in commander. make sure u have a healthy amount of recursion :D in my iroas angels deck it has some outlast to wraths xD

[@patuni]

Why do you guys tap out? I can't understand it :/

[@MozacaAxestripe]

+patuni You can have motto not ask you to click okay to pass priority if you have all your mana tapped and no other ablites you could use. just speeds things along

[@patuni]

+MozacaAxestripe they could just f6 right? or would that not work?

[@MozacaAxestripe]

f6 is for each turn so you have to press it each time. f8 is a toggle you cna turn on once and then it auto does your priority every time you have no possible response. Is bugged sometimes to not work though.

[@MarcSiqueira]

Sakashima the impostor bug and Seth telling that he would win five times at the end of this match. lol. hahahahahaha

[@LikeGodzzila]

Sakahsima was not a bug at all

[@RHKVT]

Hahahah the Sakashima play was so funny!

[@jxrarmediuscole1726]

What is this? I want this on my computer

[@MTGGoldfish]

It's Magic Online, you can find out more (or download the program) at www.mtgo.com!

[@slapp5357]

That multiple Myojins plan wouldn't have worked because it is legendary. Strip Mine plan was a great move, and because of Suppliant Form Hellkite plan probably wouldn't hage worked. Still, nice game! Sakashima gets everyone once more!

[@Big_Dai]

It does work. You play the original and resolve it's ability. Then clone it, let the one without a counter die and repeat.

[@harrisonwade999]

Aren't these all technically demi-gods in the lore? ;)

[@harrisonwade999]

Another great video though, thank you! x

[@aylipaolucci9412]

Demi-gods are half gods. In the lore, the two color gods are minor gods, where as the mono color gods are the major gods.

[@harrisonwade999]

Ah cheers for clearing that up ^.^

[@rodrigothompson2375]

Richard FeelsBadMan

[@richardmtggoldfish5723]

+Garudabr Can't play a Jake deck without Jake feel bads :S

[@ToonLinksDair]

My condolences to the player playing the 'group hate' cards that led to him getting taken out first.

[@nathantoothaker3096]

to be fair, he was playing jake.deck

[@smoothmedia]

That Shakshima tho

[@chronojack7547]

I was laughing at when he thought he was gonna win when it wasn't named the same =p

[@Cangaroombi]

+NightcoreJack When he played Sakashima I was sure he wouldn't get he couldn't win with it! XD That was fun.

[@samuelhus2267]

Do a commander clash with the maze runners

[@okami7amaterasu]

Does everyone hate Boros?

[@aylipaolucci9412]

Boros doesn't do a whole lot in commander except turn creatures sideways.

[@okami7amaterasu]

+Camden Paolucci It can be MLD Damage redirection Global burn Creature aggro Board wipes I think commander is about finding unique ideas within a colour. OR: expressing that colour's best strengths and supplementing its weaknesses.

[@aylipaolucci9412]

Celine Turner Those are all good options, but they are all damage based, and damage based strategies don't always do very well in commander.

[@okami7amaterasu]

Really? MLD and board wipes are damage based now?

[@aylipaolucci9412]

+Celine Turner I mean an overall strategy of the deck, such as how it wins: it's overall goal. I'm assuming MLD is mass land destruction? That is a viable strategy that I missed.

[@lleytonelliott8786]

Tomer could have taken out Seth so easily at 45:40

[@prufrock1977]

Why does Tomer tap his stuff at the end of his turns? It doesn't make sense?!?

[@benjaminhandziak2488]

At 45:00 you could have killed Seth tomer :(

[@michaelsmallpalace720]

Jake could have won if he read the other part of his general, since Iroas makes his creatures receive no damage during combat, so attacking with all of them was a freebie, forcing chumps which could have foiled the biovisionary plan and could have pumped with the stronghold to eke out some more damage. It's sad that he didn't win, I was cheering for the Boros deck.

[@KunouNoHana]

plays biovisionary... Copies it with Sakashima... Sakashima is still named Sakashima... Nonbo achieved

[@King-fo3kj]

Tomer always makes so many mistakes in these games but he seems to win a lot

[@LikeGodzzila]

Not playing hellkite charger in his last turn made me want to drink bleach through my eyes

[@TheMrEM4N]

Let this be a lesson to everyone: Some cards are so powerful that they will unite the entire board against you to get rid of it. #RIPRichard2016 #Withgreatpowercomesgreatresponsibility

[@richardmtggoldfish5723]

+TheMrEM4N Yep, pretty much knew this would happen. It's tricky to play group pain.

[@MrShinyObject]

I think Tomer could have killed Seth. I believe, but am not sure, that Xenagos triggers EACH combat, meaning the forestwalker guy could have gone from four power to 8 to 16, since he could make 2 additional combat steps.

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Mr. ShinyObject That's true, but I actually had that play covered with Strip Mine (hitting my only Forest).

[@kingbrackish9816]

Always kill the Simic player first. :)

[@Suavek69]

Iroas is insanely good in 1v1 commander, sadly not so good in multi.

[@crisgale8098]

timer playing aggro? blasphemy!

[@TheJPKaram]

is there a video of someone els's perspective because as much as this series is great most of the time tomer is not the one that has the deck i want to see being played usually i watch the videos with decks i like and want to see how they play against others

[@tylermurphy6998]
