Commander Clash S5 E22: Ultimate Masters! (Gaddock vs. Kozilek vs. Sigarda vs. Tasigur)

[@ErasMcras]

Note from the future, all is dust is an eldrazi spell, so could have used eldrazi temple for 2

[@erinloftis8401]

Actually devastated to see that Vince isn't here to play Gaddock Teeg

[@ClintonSimon228]

Vince is gone and I don't think he'll be returning. He's been doing stuff with the Professor and hasn't mentioned commander clash. Guess Tomer got rid of him.

[@tomerabramovici32]

@@ClintonSimon228 I'm not sure how many times I have to correct you, Clinton, but for everyone else reading this: as stated in the description, Vince couldn't make this episode due to scheduling issues. He's back next week, and unless something crazy happens he and I will be together again in the week after as well. I'm eager to point this out to Clinton again next week when he provides the same conspiracy theory yet again.

[@jasonkorf7700]

Hey Tomer, quick suggestion. How about a 2 Vs 2 with you and Vince as teammates and Richard and Seth as teammates like you guys did in Season 1 with Phyrexia vs Eldrazi? It probably won't stop the conspiracy theorists from talking, but it would be interesting to see that brought back. Some of the themes that could be used could be New Weatherlight vs the Old Weatherlight crew, The Old Weatherlight crew vs Nicol Bolas, Nicol Bolas vs Phyrexia, and etc.

Tomer brings back losing tribal decks. Richard brings back the winning Kithkin.

[@jbvarghese1993]

This is my dream team as much as I love Vince and Jen. Well-balanced and quite good synergy between you guys. Thanks!

[@NightShadowSystem]

TranquilWyvern -Casual- yup. my Favorite matchup too

[@UltimatePokemonFan75]

Doesn't Eldrazi Temple tap for two for All is Dust?

[@Small_Panda]

Yes

[@N1ghthavvk]

And that would have allowed him to kill the hydra with the Wand as well ...

[@peterklein3354]

Yep - was doing the math too. I' surprised nobody caught the fact of the tribal-sorcery spell.

[@DonovanPresents]

I came down to the comments just to mention that. Pretty big punt there at 57:32

[@tomerabramovici32]

I thought tribal sorceries were just in Lorwyn block! Oh nooooo!

[@achillies43]

[@lewisosborne5942]

"holding tongue from just dominating right now is this lonely galaxy" "he has bulldozer right oh module for grape titan yeah" "this upholstered primordial is pretty terrible" xD omg i love the subtitles, been laughing so hard the entire match just reading them

[@jasonkorf7700]

Oh Kithkin, always a bridesmaid but never a bride on Commander Clash for Richard. Once again it almost wins the game, but comes up short again. Also, once again Tomer gets punished for cycling away a land by getting mana screwed.

[@TheMadManHimself]

Jason Korf He totally would have won too if it wasn’t for that MODO punt

[@Khazuki_]

Heh. Short.

[@alexandrelima2766]

Not to beat on a dead horse here, which I totally am since this video is 4 years old, 57:00 doubling cube would not only double the eldrazi but remove it's restriction of being only used to cast eldrazi spells. There was even a fringe legacy deck using this interaction to make jeweled lotus and actual black lotus at some point. Also don't judge Iove rewatching old clash videos, it's literally my go to sleep content

[@freyak5401]

Dang, was hoping for another week with Crim in it

Gaddock Teeg needs to come back for revenge week.

[@ErasMcras]

1:29:31 Only thing that acts as a creature? Don't try to hide that stirring wildwood from me.

[@dustyfox6511]

Watching these old episodes it's strange that Tomer didn't just wand Gaddock early on and then play Clock of Omens to multiply the mana from his toy to play out his hand.

[@GaryFromLiberty]

Oh Tomer lucked out this week, a big mana deck with sacrifice effects against a Goddock Teeg and a Sigarda

[@zujiry661]

How about an rpg theme? Everyone picks a commander whichs story is then told by the player via the cards they play. Could be funny to see what stories you thought of for your commander!

[@jameskraushaar6228]

Punt on Tomer, he could have exiled the hydra with Journey on it and made an Ox, then cast All is dust if he went with the doubling cube play without giving Tom a flipped Journey

[@Zetimenvec]

This is the best episode of the season.

[@aquareus1]

I absolutely adore Tom

[@DrukenReaps]

I've had a decent number of games against Gaddock Teeg over the years but I only remember one time that teeg actually slowed me down. I was experimenting with a very low number of creatures but the vast majority of my decks are mostly creatures so he just doesn't do enough to most of my decks...

[@samhairle]

SPOILER Could Tomer not have activated Mishra's Factory, pumped, then untapped with Clock of Omens and attacked for lethal?

[@shadoe1313]

Yes! I was checking the year old comments to see if anyone else saw that line.

[@Furavara]

at 1:04:49 i would have loved to see Command for 4, give the Hydra fear and reanimate Snapcaster to flash back Genesis Wave for X = 13 ^^ Richard can prevent the Seth kill then though, so you would have to politic that out first.

[@ShiningSpear]

Aww, no Vince. Yay, Tom!

[@ru5h1n68]

That Tasigur deck was actually spicy as fuck

[@arachnon4785]

Richard is more of a savage politician than eyzma from the emperors new groove

[@peterhardiman7333]

The casting of all is dust, which finished at 58.11 was painful...toner could've doubled eldrazi temple mana with cube, made 11 total, and used his wand with the four remaining, or cast the three mana artifact in hand 😂😂

[@Murkaeus]

Why isn't Seth attacking with his indestructible lifelink 9/9 flyer? The crackback just isn't large enough to justify complacency. Three attacks would kill someone with commander damage.

[@dimak134]

Do you know, that "some weird kithkin pump spell" could kill Tom?

[@Jamie261090]

Beastmaster Ascension is a 3 CMC spell by the way. It's nice to know the punts don't stop just because the game is over :) hahahaha

[@AncientHydraGaming]

Unfortunately there no Blue Legendary Kithkin. Not that I can find on Gatherer.

[@Rich2799]

These videos really make me want to play mtgo

[@nicholasrolo886]

Please play Ezuri, Claw of Progress. Im currently debating turning my fully equipped ezuri edh deck into a trostani deck

As always this was incredibly painful to watch and I loved it 😆

[@wat_omy]

A few months ago my friend played a similar Sigarda deck. I destroyed his with my Bruna deck.

[@isaacrecio4093]

51:24 When you forget the toy because its been useless all game.

[@aaronorbik2375]

Tasigur and Sigarda have the same hair.

[@reemeroma2156]

They were also both illustrated by Chris Rahn.

When the gang it's comming back?

The only one I didn't pull was sigarda

[@bolassnowman7429]

Yay Tom!!!

[@forrestlombard4333]

When tomer doesn't play clock of omens and untap his mana rock. One of the worst punts I've seen. It's not complicated. Great game otherwise

[@ODIRGO]

Why didn't Tom and Seth keep attacking tomer to force him to transmogryfy the gadok? if vince was the one with the wand, I'm 1000% sure they would. "get rid of the gadok or else will kill you by battle".

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

Can't speak for Tomer, but if I was put in that position I would transmogrify Tom's and Seth's stuff out of spite. Trying to bully the land-stuck player into doing what benefits them the most wouldn't help Tomer at all, so he might as well stab them in the back on the way out if forced. "Help me win or die" doesn't really accomplish anything.

[@ODIRGO]

@@aGoshDarnTravesty Tomer wasn't in the position to negociate that, Seth's sigarda had hexproof, and Tom's hydra was indestructible because of an equipment. so, Tomer couldn't act out of spite against them even if he wanted to.

[@ODIRGO]

@@aGoshDarnTravesty It could easily go the other way, Tomer could have said something like "Hey Seth, Hey Tom. Richard is the only 1 actively trying to kill me, if I kill gaddok for you, could you leave me alone until there's only 2 player's left on the field or until I get at least 2 more mana sources?"

[@LeKrutes]

So many bad plays by tomer. Like cycle a land when you need a lots of mana to cast your commander.

[@brianwright5055]

Tomer, c'mon man! Your misplays are PAINFUL sometimes... Kyren toy can tap for 1 mana if you remove 0 counters from it. Which means you could have played Clock of Omens the turn after you played the Toy, tapped 2 artifacts to untap the Toy, tap it for mana, then untap it again and charge it, which would have put you at 6 the next turn, and you could have cast Oblivion Sower to try and ramp. Or you could have just spent his turns charging the Toy instead of casting Chaos Wand, that LITERALLY DOES NOTHING... I don't understand how you can complain about not having mana and then spend an entire turn casting a 3 mana artifact, that costs 4 to activate, that probably does actual nothing while Gaddock Teeg is in play.

[@Alakarin]

The problem was a little card card called "Gaddock Teeg" that was blocking him.

Does scheduling conflicts mean that tomer was unable to effectively work with Vince and therefore to prevent more salt and negativity in episodes Vince will be 'unable to make it' for the remainder of the season?
