Commander Clash 5: Ravnica Guilds - Azorius, Orzhov, Selesnya, Rakdos

[@branofilipovic9608]

Good guy Seth, trying to save everyone from themselves and later working to save everyone from Jake so they would all live in obedience in happy Azorius world...

[@aylipaolucci9412]

Tomer, why didn't you cast the Rakdos Charm and just kill Jake in respomse to the Supreme Verdict? That would've been SO funny!

[@ACommonCauseMTG]

+Camden Paolucci I didn't see a benefit in doing that. I was happy to let Jake rebuild and pressure Seth since I didn't have many outs against Seth myself.

[@aylipaolucci9412]

That's fair. I am a bit of an EDH newbie.

[@veras7927]

+ACommonCauseMTG Why not just kill someone for fun? It seems very Rakdos. "I can save everyone!" "Not everyone, I'm afraid."

[@aylipaolucci9412]

+Emrakul, The Aeons Bored That's probably the funniest things I've read in a long time.

[@etceteraretecte]

+ACommonCauseMTG although it would have been SUPER on flavour as a Rakdos general! Azorius slowly absorbing everything into a boring hegemony & Rakdos just like spitefully taking someone out to exercise his demonic freedom...

[@faceoctopus4571]

Azorius isn't about justice or taxation. It's about stagnation. "Prahv, where much work is done to make sure nothing is accomplished." -Prahv, Spires of Order flavor text.

[@willchilson4648]

Pirates vs. Ninjas vs. Robots vs. Elves or a different fourth choice would be an awesome commander battle to see.

[@RespectYourViews]

Pirates vs Ninjas vs Rovots vs Elves in Magic the Gathering? Elves is so far ahead it wins easily unless the other 3 gang up from turn 1 and even then Elves has a shot.Unless you ban about 20 cards for the elf player or let the others stray pretty far from theme in their card choices.

[@fitzlock8349]

Man, I would have just immediately fired off that Rakdos Charm at Jake. Would not have been able to resist.

[@LaPoubelle42]

Seth "you know you can attack each other, right?" hilarious, Seth ;)

[@bigwig8657]

Tomer not memeing with rakdos charm, it's nice to know grown up wiser tomer woulda memed hard.

[@TheBackwards3]

This was an awesome game, was hoping to see a dimir deck, even if dimir is how you get people to hate you.

[@isaacpatterson7657]

Okay, I'm 36 minutes in. The 8 mana card is divine invention. Calling it now. Notice how he told Richard he would not LOSE the game. He also said it will take a few turns of him living to work.

[@isaacpatterson7657]

40 minutes in seth says they all win.

[@isaacpatterson7657]

45 minutes... CALLED IT!

[@modedrain_cbt_lover]

Cool

[@FindlayMurdochwombatsandcake]

I really wished you had played that rakdos charm when he had ten thousand creatures

[@robertpaterson6560]

Literrally the most exciting game I've seen

[@ODIRGO]

that rakdos charm the wasted the opportunity of doing what rakdos is the best for

[@jacktchance]

Seth is such a troll and it was hilarious to watch.

[@JohnLouisCruciTushingham]

Great fun to watch, Saffron trolling like a boss

[@th3TwistedLight]

Well,in decent circles people get punched in the face for decks like Seth's, I am not even kidding.

[@coreysierchio4650]

Surprise, Surprise. Seth doesn't cast his commander.

[@gustavosolano4615]

Win count 1 Tomer 3 Richard Draws 1

[@Briancjw]

Great video. Would have liked to see the reaction if rakdos charm had been played while supreme verdict was on the stack.

[@dmany13]

ah Seth your deck is so funny this week so trollish I love iy

[@veras7927]

I still come back to watch this. Such a good game.

[@thewarriorofboros]

Honestly super surprised tomer isn't playing niv mizzet

[@Morkftw]

I loved it, lol, Seth's deck was funny! :P

[@kelvinhu2063]

Please play more Humility. That was fun to watch.

[@Porschop]

I really wanted to see how Tomer's deck would play out

[@demarge1065]

one week possibility storm and rule of law combo

[@texotrash]

43:15 Try not to scream at your screen challenge

[@RobertLong115]

This was beautiful.

[@RespectYourViews]

Some people took from this game the lesson that Humility is game Warping and should be banned. The lesson I took is that when one player plays RB and the GW player plays no removal whatsoever, wither of the other 2 players can safely play whatever enchantments they feel like. Yes, one way to deal with problem cards is to ban them, the better way imo is to play cards that deal with the problem. If people in your playgroup run pillow fort decks like Seth's, then play G or W and run 5-6 enchantment board wipes or 1-2 and plenty of card draw or tutors. Even a creeping mould or beast from within would have been enough to deal with the humility while still being flexible enough to play in commander in playgroups not playing problem enchantments. Or in blue, boomerang effects. This game is example of why every commander deck should have plenty of targeted removal as well as non-land board wipes.(even Armageddon effects if land ramp gets out of hand, if possible just kill all the threats and make that mana useless)

[@crisgale8098]

it would have been cool if you we're only able to play cards from the 2 ravnica blocks. but only cards that are in your guild within the sets. like no blue dimir creature in azorius

[@rpglover5955]

43:09 odd thing Tomer didn't decide to use Rakdos charm would have gotten Jake out of the game with all the tokens he had on board. Would be an insane kill tbh but good guy Tomer i guess.

[@TheBackwards3]

+Kingdom Fantasy223 Wouldn't have benefited him much because getting rid of Jake also lowered his chances of getting rid of Seth. He was probably thinking that if he left Jake alive to hopefully deal with Seth,He would end up getting big again, then he could do Rakdos Charm and kill him after Seth wasn't a big problem.

[@ACommonCauseMTG]

+InternetScaresMe Exactly my reasoning.

[@Father-songaming]

I would love to play with you you guys at a some point I mostly have to make decks that are cheap! I also always run across the big killer decks online :(

[@beahappening]

No love for Simic?

[@AdamKaiser1]

Sooner or Later, i feel like we need to see some different strategies being played: Voltron, Tokens, Tribal, Group Hug, etc

[@jamest7324]

this commander clash would've been way better if there was no seth deck lol

[@dmany13]

I suggest the mono color decks for next week should be the mono color 2014 commander decks

[@colgatelampinen2501]

Seth tried to just keep everyone alive and let everyone win. No wincons in deck and not any threats on board, and everybody attacked him :(

[@zurran00]

this is why humility is banned

[@KeepoKreepo]

25.55 This is so painful xD

[@aylipaolucci9412]

The land type "Power Plant" comes from Urza's Factory from Time Spiral block, I do believe.

[@Acidllamas]

Loved seeing the complete lockdown! Thanks for all of these videos

[@gentlemenbastex7424]

It wasn't The prison lock that made this unfun to watch. It was knowing that Saffron was not playing to win.

[@rpglover5955]

What was the link to this video doing in the video?

[@athena5799]

Ive got an azorius deck like this one running isperia supreme judge as commander, my brother almost killed me in real life because he couldnt ingame (:

[@kim15742]

Why do you always tap out at end of turn?

[@LaPoubelle42]

This is amazing, don't listen to the prison-haters crying because they can't respect the beauty of the control archetype in EDH

[@TheTNTGamers]

43:16 I was way to happy there for a second...

[@foursoulfireworld]

People think I've actually tied someone up in my life because this is exactly the shit I'd play in commander

[@Kajemby]

Love seth's deck! Absolutely hilarious!

[@scienceguy8888]

So how crazy would Urborg tomb of Yawgmoth and shimmer be?

[@sklingenberg86]

Why do you guys tap out?

[@TomGalonska]

+sklingenberg86 MtGo asks you to respont, but if you don't have mana left, it skips that. It just speeds up the game!

[@omnigames7396]

How are you playing blind Obedience in an azorious deck it's has color identity of black?

[@Reverend_Worm]

+Omni Games Black is only in reminder text, it doesn't affect colour identity.

[@SirRagnark]

I thought this was fun to watch what a combo

[@Father-songaming]

what is the high end on your tix spending

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Alexander Held Jr Typically decks cost about 20 tix, but we've had a couple in the 40 tix range sneak in from time to time.

[@Sxcheschka]

That was epic.

[@pielord33321]

Why do you guys tap out at the end of your turns? Just for giggles/because you can't do anything? Edit: So Plague Spitter is just an evil rectangle. I want one.

[@robertg2804]

+Jacob Pisello Duga They tap out to make the game faster, so it doesnt asks every one at any action to yield.

[@dringobvispo1825]

wth is the name of this plataform to play MTG, is free o u have to pay for it?? and i can play online in private lobbys wth my friends?? thnks

[@MTGGoldfish]

The program is Magic Online (you can find out more or download it at www.mtgo.com). It's not free (there's a small fee to get started, and then you have to buy/trade for cards, but many of the cards are inexpensive). Yes, you can play private games with friends, and unless you want to play tournaments for prizes, once you have the cards you don't play anything to actually play the same, so you can play with your friends (or random people) for free as much as you'd like.

[@Fangren]

Playing monocolored next week, eh? Blue player should rock Shimmer.

[@egorlikhunskii7282]

The best issue :-)

[@isaacsant2751]

Should have done izzet :/

[@Firedrakul2]

Is there a reason you tap out at the end of the turn?

[@aarondobson8433]

+M B Means they don't have to deal with MTGO asking them in they want to do anything whenever anything else happens. Just speeds up play for camera.

[@spencersonnier1]

WHY THE BLUE HELL DIDN'T YOU RAKDOS CHARM IN RESPONSE TO VERDICT? JESUS.

[@gentlemenbastex7424]

Jake was a good threat to Saffron Olive, and was killing his enemies.

[@sazupa]

And i was just going to go to sllep.

[@firedaemon33]

You guys aren't fans of aggro, are you? No Aurelia? The Boros Legion is disappointed.

[@ACommonCauseMTG]

+firedaemon33 I love aggro! My Rakdos list is quite aggressive in most games, just not this time. I can show some Boros love in the future.

[@rockwarlock9573]

I missed my favorite guild Golgari

[@hendy8101]

I love grand arbiter so much. he is my main commander

[@mikepeterson7092]

Caleb Henderson Grand Arbiter is one of the best ever. I use Teysa OS as my main. I have been the victim of an $11,000+ GA build and felt the pain.

[@DoggoCantSitStill]

that was not magic

[@colgatelampinen2501]

Humility helped token player, because they just had more creatures than rest and when everything is 1/1 it's easy win. Why did they attack humility player?

[@ArigatoPlays]

Because he locked everyone completely out of the game

[@GeorgeMaj15]

No matter what people say, I love this game.

[@COYADD]

Why does everyone play Lord of Riots? How come the Defiler gets no love? Which one makes your opponents sac their whole board?

[@simons.7957]

well, the defiler is not legendary if you mean the Commander chioce

[@simons.7957]

Also the game should be about fun, I'm loving 7th Edition Foils and so I'm playing cards like Wall of Air in some Decks because I like the flavour:)

[@SharinganMan]

Rakdos the Defiler is absolutely legendary

[@RamenSploosh]

idk, he is so risky to play! out of curiousity i'm gonna try to make a deck around him, but it would need to be built a pretty specific way lol

[@SilverAlex92]

the best way to use him is with something like kaalia, any effect that can put him into play attacking break the symmetry

[@cklise]

This is not Magic...

[@exigy.]

for your viewers: please build better commander decks. Disenchants and Chaos warps are a must-have. Bad deckbuilding leads to boring games like this.

[@jamie7647]

This game is a perfect example of why humility should be banned: it's kinda funny, but it ruins the game for everyone else. All these crazy diverse effects would have been going off, but no, we're sitting here like "you have a disenchant? no? ok pass for the fifth turn in a row" Can someone please build a rakdos deck again and show how it plays in a fun game?

[@hombreg1]

Keegan McCullough eh, rakdos is barely any fun... specially in multiplayer... "I ping everyone for two and play free eldrazi"

[@froggerpirate]

and this is why I hate blue

[@isaacpatterson7657]

white had humility and intervention though

[@jeffreybender4416]

I refuse to play against decks like the one Seth played in this video they are annoying and I never enjoy the games

[@numskull45]

stax are the worst, even worse than solitaire decks

[@Muddled_Mindflayer]

Every week it seems one person is just killing the fun and it's depressing.

[@jeffgill4735]

This was a really boring game to watch, alright as a one off, but if decks like Seth's kept showing up I wouldn't keep watching.

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Jeff Gill I'm banned from playing Humility again, so I don't think you have to worry about it :)

[@TomGalonska]

+MTGGoldfish To be fair: I think it was hilarious. I laughed nearly the whole time... Jake was maaaaaaad! :D

[@MTGGoldfish]

Lol, that was my favorite part of the entire match. Jake got so mad he literally went silent for like 10 minutes.

[@TomGalonska]

MTGGoldfish I have to say: I love your content, i discovered your channel a week ago, or sth. like that, and have been watching multiple videos each day... This is one of my favourites so far!

[@nyarlotep]

+MTGGoldfish It was the funniest mtg game I have seen. That deck was hilarious!

[@jamesmoore1476]

I can forgive seth for pulling this once at the beginning of his commander career but good god do I hope to never see it again. This was an awful game. Kind of seems like a precursor to you guys constantly playing for second instead of actually trying to win too, gross.

[@froggerpirate]

Seth's deck makes me want to puke azorius is the worst guild

[@santiagovalverde3692]

Please dont play Humility + Propaganda effects again, that wasn't fun to watch. :/

[@MTGGoldfish]

+Christopher Klise I enjoyed it :)

[@GlennTheSadMarinersFan]

+MTGGoldfish same. kinda funny seeing all those 1/1

[@MTGGoldfish]

Don't worry, I think I'm officially banned from playing Humility ever again (just like Jake is banned from playing Scrambleverse).

[@MrMarclax]

yeah it's all about YOU're enjoyment.

[@Sophaurus]

oddly i found it extremely entertained. not a thing to do every week however.

[@salmonking007]

Yawn.

[@almogdov]

As someone who been playing Commander for about 7 years now, that Humility was an eye sore, please don't play it ever again XD It tends to lead to very boring games, even though the game ended in a funny way, you could have got to it with normal sphere of safety taxing or solitary confinement. Wrecking everyone's game is just so awful
