Commander Clash S2 Episode 29: Anything Goes

[@Deathtronis]

So glad Tomer held onto the grudge and brought this back to life haha. Goat play Seth

[@Eleros]

That Commandeer into Stripmine was one of the funniest things I've seen yet

[@natanoj16]

EastGuardianSeiryuu yesterday I had a Land-mana crypt-solring-windfall start :b everyone had a "forced mulligan" and I drew 3 cards extra ;)

[@Volvary]

Still doesn't beat turn 1 Restore Balance (Island into Mana Crypt into Mana Vault into Chromatic Lantern into Ardent Plea, finds Restore Balance.) We started the game with 2 cards in hand.

[@veras7927]

Volvary That's not quite 0, now, is it?

[@DPharos]

Wonderful, and Tomer is such a good sport.

[@sidclauwers5945]

The legendary episode I have finally reached it!

[@lifeonpause3872]

Revenge for this legendary play today 8/30/24. Tomer you are a legend for this. 5:27

[@carbunclegirl]

Damn, Seth is savage!

[@dannygross123]

the extension of the "saffron olive" branch

[@pali6]

All four decks were simply beautiful. Definitely one of the best episodes of Commander Clash.

[@Fauna_CR]

Pavel Madaj Only one problem; no green.

[@baldore2256]

But that's a plus. XD

[@sonicdueler]

seth "we need to work together" (steals mana rock and destroys land) "remember you asked for this"

[@adammoldover8769]

Love it at 19:50 Seth: "If I cast my commander again, are you going to kill it, Richard? Is that how this is going to work?" Richard: "Probably, because I don't want you stealing my hand. Or other people's hands."

[@lestervaladez6127]

Over 2 years later and I still go back and watch tomer get commendeerd for the laughs

[@XTempestBuster]

Well well well

[@NeoDeathrose13]

THE LEGEND UNFOLDS!!! I've been watching all of commander clash backwards and I finally get to see the fabled commandeer/ strip mine play.

[@LethalPigeon7]

Fun fact: that is how Thopter Spy Network is supposed to work, you draw one for each player. It says "one or more creatures" instead of "a creature", but to draw 1 in MP it would also have to say "one or more players". Source: Logic, Google, Judge Chat

[@4illeen]

With Tom's deck this week the Jank Watch is finally assembled.

[@Cspence1010]

Normally I wait until the end to comment... but that opening was both brutal and hilarious!

[@cannonspectacle5195]

Richard: I'm not sure how I can win without Mechanized Production Also Richard: *wins*

[@ODIRGO]

2024 and I still come back to rewatch this video because of that Commandeer... hahaha.

[@sofer2230]

Correct pronunciation of the day: "Loo mong" (Lu Meng) "Ghastlord of 'fyoog'" (Fugue) "Shee-a-ho doon" (Xiahou Dun) "Kill Seth, THEN wipe the board."

[@Artaimus]

56:00 - Tutor for an untapped land, 7 mana on the table. Attack Seth with the Junk Diver for the kill then play both Kaldra pieces and assemble. Chooses to wipe the table.

[@Avatar9901]

But Kaldra has vigilance Tomer, You just need to pay 1.

[@tomerabramovici32]

Avatar9901 didn't realize that! sweet!

[@Volvary]

That's the beauty of Kaldra. You use the artifacts on other creatures, swing with them, on their attack step, pay 1, assemble Kaldra again, it's untapped, block, do it again every turn.

[@V0ltage007]

+Alexander Wareham Tomer said in a prior episode that he didn't know what kaldra does, so he wants to assemble her to find out rather than just looking it up.

[@RPGFanboy14]

So what you are saying is, you need to assemble Kaldra again and play her correctly right? ;) Also I gotta know, were you going for Worldslayer with the boonweaver giant? Also perhaps for the next thing you try an entire deck of meld cards. Super hard to pull off but would be so satisfying.

[@BlinkyFizz]

Kaldra doesn't have vigilance. It's psuedo vigilance, because you pay the (1) to re assemble her.

[@TheRealWormbo]

Call me slow, but it took me until this episode of Commander Clash to realize that the three Kaldra pieces are the set symbols of the Mirrodin block - each is the symbol of the set it was released in.

[@russellforrest3319]

I think that Tomer should play Arjun, the Shifting Flame with Psychosis Crawler,Mindmoil, Diviner's Wand and other wheel effects. It would definitely tickle his love for drawing cards!

[@gustavosolano4615]

I remember this omg probably one of my favorite and classical moment, I've been watching for like forever now and it amazing to go back and see this again relive tomer pain

[@NARFNra]

I didn't realize Tomer had ever actually assembled Kaldra. What a legendary episode to do it in

[@Fromaginator]

11:33 a... saffron... olive branch?

[@SventFulgur]

So the deck you were talking about is basically one of the top W/U Control decks during Gatecrash standard. It legitimately had no real win conditions besides Jace, Architect of Thought Ultimate lol xD

[@joshuabraska1028]

I've heard about this episode so many times and I finally get to watch it.

[@ianmcabee8036]

Anyone back from Tomers revenge?

[@ArcStoneR]

My favorite match I have watched. The start was hilarious with the commandeer on the crypt followed by the strip mine. Also, you could tell Tom was having so much fun running his deck although he was doing very little.

[@EmersonJ_]

Such a great episode! End of an era for Tomer, so glad you finally got there!

[@EmersonJ_]

Also, hella stoked for next week, holy crap that's gonna be madness!

[@Seinglede]

There isn't enough beads on the spite abacus for this one.

[@GoyfAscetic]

If Season One is anything to go by this episode is the season finale! Sadly, once Seth got knocked out the standings got locked up. In 4th place, with 84 points we have Seth, better known as Saffron Olive. Seth came into the last match with just a one point lead over Tomer. All he had to do was beat Tomer to lock up the Bronze but since he chose Sen Triplets and his brutal one-two punch to start the game, he became the threat by default until it was too late. Fun fact, if we ignored the MTGO bug that screwed Seth over in last week's match this would have Seth third consecutive 4th place finish. Advice to Seth: Tone down your threat profile, most of your losses happen when you draw too much attention to yourself (Usually with the line "Can I win this turn?"). In 3rd place, with 85 points we have Tomer. Going into the last five matches of the season Tomer was a man on a mission, he did not want to be in last place and it showed. He placed better than Seth in 4 out of the five matches and in the end he got the result he was looking for by just one point. Advice to Tomer: You tend to play really strong decks and most of the time it gets you picked on. I look forward to seeing you try more fun stuff like the Kaldra Challenge. In 2nd place, with 100 points exactly we have Richard. This is the first time in the last six matches where Richard finished higher than 3rd place. It's important to note that Richard held 1st place in the standings for 20 consecutive games. He had as many 1st place finishes as Seth and Tom combined which is just insane. Sadly these last six matches caused him to lose the lead two matches shy of the finale. While he had a chance to get it back, he needed Tom to go out first in addition to his first place victory. Advice to Richard: A lot of your wins came from laying low and striking at just the right time much like what happened this week. That became much harder once the stats were readily available but a new season starting up should help you. In the future maybe powering up you deck just a bit more could help you secure a few more wins or at least mid place finishes as you also had the most 4th place finishes among the Clashers. Finally, in 1st place with 103 points we have Tom whose probably the most well-rounded of the Clashers. While his number of 1st place wins lag behind Richard so does the number of his last place finishes. Out of all 32 games played this season Tom finished in 4th place only 4 times. Combine that with the second highest number of 1st place finishes and the most 2nd place finishes and that's how Tom barely stopped the Richard Juggernaut. Advice to Tom: I honestly can't think of anything to point out congrats again Tom! As always here's the spreadsheet and I'll be back next week: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12dFFqaYoQL3SX8pE379pkHY8gxzk21Ycg1XtvfV5iFo/edit#gid=1764193799

[@MrChocobar]

I really like Tom, he's such a good player.

[@tomerabramovici32]

GoyfAscetic thanks for all your continued work! This isn't a season finale though. we simply ended the last season when Jake decided to bow out.

[@Giecolizard]

Seth that was the best turn one play i have ever seen. Thank you

[@michaelg2721]

the trick to assembling kaldra is to play mono black and play behold the beyond, instant kaldra in hand

[@kobisjeruk]

Great job guys. This week was awesome to watch. I was smiling from start to finish. Seth is a lost cause. We finally get to see *something* and it was about as much as I have expected. WotC, that was so underwhelming, you could've at least make it look majestic.

[@bgstilts1675]

The most famous Commander Clash ever 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tyler3050]

Seth made this episode one of my favorites

[@alexlozano5021]

I enjoyed all the side notes that Tommer added to the game. I'd like to see more of that.

[@Averisk40]

I just wanted to watch this episode again

[@imasiontist653]

Damn seth that start was cold... Good job.

[@cassie7611]

I had to come back and watch this Clearly the best commander clash of all time! Sorry Tomer XD

[@Nersuhl]

Great game guys, enjoyed it very much!

[@Cangaroombi]

Finally! I have waited so long for this Kaldra!

[@bigwig8657]

I shall now refer to commandeer strip mine as Seth 2: 29

[@johnmarx]

The kaldra saga begins

[@Silvermankitty]

I have heard tale of this game. makes me so happy to finally found it.

[@cjb0]

awesome decks; awesome game! Tomer: remember that you can pay 1 to reassemble an untapped kaldra at instant speed! i didnt realize until near the end when i was looking for your outs!

[@tomerabramovici32]

Corey Bowen yeah that's a neat trick I didn't know about! Im pretty sure I had that game in the bag if I used Silas to return swiftfoot boots instead of junk diver

[@nathones]

Tomer's abacus has no long term memory

[@Garnzlok]

I swear the more weeks i watch of this for the past while the more i feel bad for Tomer. He just gets fucked every time either they focus him for no reason, make him useless, or other things of that nature. It's getting to the point that he should just start building decks that are a bit harder to be messed with by people being asshats.

[@WizardLogic]

So what's next Tomer? Modules? Shrines? The Empires set?

[@samuelt.o.branch7413]

Tomer could have assembled kaldra so early...he just refused to play them from his hand.

[@Kurogetsu1]

Samuel T.O. Branch probably because he was having a bad time. Didn't want to force himself into a position where he would get targeted by everyone

[@lilgiantrobot6169]

Old Slivers are the best, I am excited.

[@quincybriley4113]

I love sygg. I've got a tribal rogues deck that's super fun.

[@chrissamudio4660]

Tomer Tomer. I'm rooting for you. They're all so brutal to you

[@MrChocobar]

Seth I love how evil you can be. If you gave out less information and making yourself a threat, you would totally win more!

[@faceoctopus4571]

1:02:38 "The youtube comments are… they are ruthless. They are detectives." You're too kind, Tomer.

[@mikeweinacht2088]

Next week sounds amazing, I once did a 3-way EDH against 2 other sliver players. Every turn we were swinging at each other with 18/18 flying trample double-strike lifelink haste indestructible regenerating monstrosities.

[@borisboekelman9836]

Wow, Tomer, "a deck that just draws cards until you are about to deck yourself"? I have just the deck for you! Do you want a decklist?

[@HavocTheWendigo]

Omg I love how everyone was like "so U/W right" lol

[@robbieshackelford429]

Achievement Get: Kaldra Assembled! Next Achievement: Door to Nothingness!

[@tomerabramovici32]

That's definitely on my radar ;)

[@notanetdeck5264]

FINALLY! I was waiting so long to see Kaldra happen... Also, Tomer, if you could've gotten Junk Diver to die in combat, you could've returned Mana Crypt and Kaldra'd off that turn.

[@davevandewark]

Just came back to this video again for some inspiration behind a sygg deck and as soon as I get Toms voice I was like, I miss Tom :(

[@elizakleinman1332]

Richard should've sacrificed his mana crypt

[@MestHoop]

27:00 Good job Tomer! You took the untapped black source that also fixes your colors in later turns (i.e. the "correct" choice)! Edit: Nevermind... he doesn't even cast the tutor... Almost makes up for not playing Sylas and equipping boots a turn earlier instead of playing a do-nothing equipment.

[@Miztickow]

I'd love to see a commander game with as much randomness as possible, so something like Grenzo (mono-red), Jalira, Yidris, and Arjun.

[@adamriley9241]

Season 1 Jake played a Chaos Red deck. 10/10 broke Modo

[@BellBOYd128]

13:16 - No Seth, you're not sorry.

[@TheMaskedHero]

minute into the game and I think Tomer got thwarted already.

[@alexrook3792]

If you hit multiple players, thopter spy network should trigger for each player. it's not a modo-fail.

[@michaelsagi202]

finally! after eras of searching!! the legendary commendeer the mana crypt and strip mine the only land tomer controls game

[@Srynan]

... and the deck I am really running is, of course, KALDRA... *faceplam* Richard PLEASE...

[@kingfuzzy2]

That sygg deck is beautiful and amazing.

[@darkeshrine]

It's always sad to see Tomer have everything he needs to win and just not doing it or noticing it. Kaldra, Swiftfoot boots to keep Maze of ith from targeting Kaldra, and a Stonehewer Giant with Worldslayer in the deck. Tomer had this in the bag and just never did it.

[@tomerabramovici32]

darkeshrine yep I realized that a turn too late

[@jeffrey3837]

Hey, i have an idea for the commander clash stream. Basically what would happen is each of the players would stream and then you have one virtual machine (richard should know more about this and be able to input more about it) lets say running to watch all 4 of your streams, which is streaming to show the singular stream on MTGGoldfish. so basically one computer, or virtual machine is going to be running and watching all streams and then also streaming those streams to twitch. this way, the audience can see all hands at all times, and their point of view with whatever the players are doing.

[@jeffreybender4416]

destroying my lands puts me on tilt more than anything else in the game

[@MTGGoldfish]

You would not have fun playing against me than.

[@joshua_lee732]

Every turn I'm waiting with sincere anticipation that Tom was gonna draw a card off mana crypt.

[@MrZoichi]

I would have literally laughed out loud if Seth had Stifle for the Evolving Wilds after the brutality of his turn 0.

[@Skywarp2099]

Brutal. I've had Sol Rings FoW by very salty players, I had an Apocalypse used as spot removal for Narset, but I've never had my rock Commandeered and then had my only land Strip Mined. Wow.

[@metalfreekz13]

Skywarp2099 Ive used a Gather Specimens on a Rise of the Dark Realms late game versus Kaalia, Karador, and Edgar, one of the creatures I got being a Garda the Bloodflame (I was playing The Locust God). Needless to say, I won hahaha

[@couchcommander5280]

seth coming in hot with the commandeer/ strip mine thuggery. #coldblooded

[@Peterphonetube]

oh come on, Kaldra does have vigilance, for just 1 mana.

[@-homerow-]

This is still the funniest moment of all time 😂😂😂

[@YoannGosselin]

Seth, making sure assembling Kaldra is as difficult as ever, from turn 0. Thank you Seth! (not) XD

[@kobisjeruk]

I've been waiting for this the whole week.

[@SilverAlex92]

Breya is beautifully overpowered

[@TheJeffRichardson]

"if you kill it, it will die"

[@lessercrow]

The spite levels are over 9000

[@kgesme21]

Tomer, buddy. Dude. For someone who wants to assemble Kaldra you reeeeally take your time running it out there.

[@Zarundar]

That start was amazing

[@johnedraisa]

Can you guys do a phaseing deck?

[@imasiontist653]

Oh my god the 200$ card for the land.

[@RosieAndLowKi]

People, please stop hating on Seth those were good and legal plays. But this video proves how broken Breya is especially after 2 artifact sets came out. Even with a janky thopter/myr/mechanized productions deck it can still grind out a win.

[@Summon_Aery]

Sen Triplets AND Breya!! If this is mtgheaven don't wake me up.

[@konradaczkowski4224]

You could also build decks around legendaries from a certain set like KTK or ORI.

[@liamisafireplace]

Konrad Łączkowski they do.

[@matthewloser7567]

I'm hoping for a kamigawa themed commander clash

[@pithymarrow3940]

Matthew Loser they did do a kamigawa theme week

[@HavocTheWendigo]

Matthew Loser omg I'd love to see them try the patrons

[@daxiera.k.ashimigamideath6752]

Cards for the card god, packs for the pack throne, let the cardboard burn!!

[@thehairyyam3077]

Haters gonna hate. I think you are a great addition to the team, Tom! Also, the amount of salt in this game is delicious!

[@alexlozano5021]

Out of context: Horsemanship, it's like flying but with horses.

[@samb123078]

Finally Kaldra makes an appearance!

[@chimyjoe]

wait does this work? attack with kaldra, then pay the 1 to assemble her again and sac the tapped one... it basically gives it vigilance!

[@TheAustinacid]

so tomer I spent all of 3 days trying but in your name is summoned a 20 /9 kaldra

[@Amphidsf]

Yay, my Sliver suggestion got accepted!

[@TeeteringPeaks]

I really wanted seth to assemble Kaldra XD

[@BlinkyFizz]

The Kaldra token doesn't even have a sword. Lol. Poor form.

[@nortonfantenberg2052]

I for one applause Seth for sticking to his belief of always kinda accidental but not really fucking up Tomers gameplan C: Massive kudos to Tom for the supersweet unblockable deck, you shoulda ran Sphinx's Tutelage just so you could be an asshole and randomly mill someone out of the game with al the drawing u. Please don't forget that it wasn't until M14 they started making slivers that only rewarded you so Time Spiral stuff is still chill! And Seth, Primal Surge to victory, there is plenty of Sliver related combos to be had C: Thanks for the great match! Know if only Seth could learn how to not get last every single time that'd be great... .p
