Commander Clash S5 Episode 2: M19 Elder Dragons! (Nicol Bolas vs Aracdes vs Chromium vs Vaevictis)

[@GiovanniBoss]

9:18 Vince prophecised the Llanowar Tribe from Modern Horizons.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Seems like a reasonable prophecy

[@clemenskremer5094]

I really like Vince in this setup. Chemistry between them seems good.

[@HoshiArt]

Do a mono black week with the four demons who contracted liliana! (Kothophed, Razaketh, Belzenlok and griselbrand

[@martinkaca]

Not sure they could do that on MTGO because Griselbrand is banned in commander.

[@feralwolf5452]

Yeah...griselbrand is grisel-banned

[@ashadeofnight]

also Kothoped doesn't have a card yet!

[@KakashiFlash2]

Ahm, yes it has....Kothophed, Soul Hoarder from Magic Origins

[@ashadeofnight]

ah cool is that all of them now then?

[@Summon_Aery]

Commander Clash Season 5 leaderboard: Richard: 4 + 5 (+4 WINNER, +1 Archenemy - Killing all other opponents) Vincent: 3 + 4 (+1 First Blood, +3 Second place) Seth: 3 + 2 (+2 Joint third place) Tomer: 2 + 2 (+2 Joint third place) ____________________________________________________________ Final Scores Richard: 9 Vincent: 7 Seth: 5 Tomer: 4 Edit: I have removed the -1 for not casting Commanders, in this playgroup a lot of the decks aren't complete build arounds with the Commander, and I don't think it's fair to punish decks that are more creative and use the Commander purely for colors, or that just don't require their Commander to function.

[@darkencroix6412]

You really should, but it's nice to see the winner all the same.

[@Alpsus]

You could change it to +1, haha

[@imasiontist653]

Fox mfw seth and tomer are my favs. (Because they play the most jank).

[@Imaketoi1ets]

I think you should keep -1 for not casting it. Commander is what differentiates EDH from Highlander afterall.

[@hugodiazroa]

Thanks, to keep a unofficial record seems a fun idea

[@nicholasrolo886]

Even if seth is off rotation for a season, hes always ready to help protec your deck and support the show, by picking up a steel deck box down below!

[@maplesmagic1509]

Just wanted to say that contrary to a lot of the other comments, I really enjoyed Vince. Hope he sticks around.

[@lilacpilot3437]

It took me until 26:53 to realize Tomer was playing C tribal.

[@worldthroughabucket]

Ohh Tomer, you really got me with that C-tribal. I was really curious to see how people build Chromium, whether it is control, voltron, discard/reanimate or just esper goodstuff, but yours is the most original I've seen so far. Not the best, but easily the most fun and cool build.

[@Vaderoid]

I had built my Arcades deck as soon as he was spoiled and ended up pulling a foil Arcades in a pack during the prerelease event. Totally made my week! Now that Vince is playing my buddy, things are even better! Now I just need to wait for this video to encode in HD...

[@andrewf6167]

This is the type of shit I love. EACH PLAYER IS AN ELDER DRAGON?! YUP. Sign me up, instant like. Next we need a monthly vote to declare each player a hero from a "themed pool". Much love to you guys, appreciate all your work together.

[@gatheringstormgaming9061]

Rest In Peace New Palladia-Mors

[@AhranMaoDante]

Honestly, Palladia is actually pretty good for Naya, when using Blink effects. It's disappointing that nobody is willing to give her a shot.

[@justwantawholename]

Blinking is a neat idea, I was just thinking voltron because she's very keyword soup. I guess she gets outclassed because of other keyword soup commanders, but she's a DRAGON. That's gotta count for something right?

[@gatheringstormgaming9061]

Arhen Dante speak for yourself, I just finished my Palladia-Mors deck 😈

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

Next week, probably. I bet her and Goreclaw make it in.

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Rick Victor she's bad. Hitting for 3, them dying isn't good.

[@MrOfTheSea]

So according to the gatherer ruling, you need to pay the total alternate casting costs. So cyclonic rift should cost 7, so it is a MTGO bug

[@N1ghthavvk]

I doublechecked in the video and when Richard was casting it the bug also happened. So it's definitely reproduceable and should get fixed. Anybody know if it happens with any other card or is it specific to Kess and / or Cyclonic Rift?

[@Fromaginator]

best commander clash crew

[@ianwojo-gaming9224]

Fromaginator lol I’d agree if Vincent wasn’t complaining the rest of the game after tomer destroyed his general

[@jman1276]

If Seth could have Panharmonicon as his Commander, that would be the only deck he would play

[@MTGGoldfish]

We're pretty close now thanks to Tawnos!

[@sabbysmith354]

Pleasant kenobi is a good fit

[@CheshireCat87]

Man, Vince sure has a massive Victim complex. Tomer destroys his commander ONCE and Vince spends the rest of the game bitching about it and accusing Tomer of picking on him.

[@andrewf6167]

Seth brought a grenade to the water balloon fight.

[@Belphegor926]

and I was just wondering where this week's CC was.

[@DrukenReaps]

I'm waiting to see what they do with C18 but I may have to build Vaevictus Asmadi if the Jund C18 deck doesn't meet my hopes. He is just awesome every time I see him, though I think he is less scary than people think. Really a lot of randomness with him.

[@benjaminhandziak2488]

This is one of the funniest commander clashes

[@bigblind6422]

That Seth punt was fantastic.

[@MTGGoldfish]

"fantastic..." something like that...

[@davidmorris6254]

Finished watching the whole thing, good clash (even tho I knew who was going to win going in), Vince ads just the right amount of spice to Tomer's bumblings.

[@bobbysimon1078]

Tomer, at 50:00 you decided to tap out all of your Mana with crypt incursion up at instant speed, and then later complained that your Mana wasn't good enough to be able to cast it. Am I missing something or did you throw away your life total for no reason

[@alexkeyser7322]

GhastBuster13425 he did that because he was acting as if cyclonic rift was successfully cast with overload. It got countered, and he would’ve been tapped out, leaving him unable to cast crypt incursion.

[@sethh.1704]

Why is it potato quality?

[@revotor8142]

Seth H. Because the video was just uploaded, youtube hasn't finished rendering

[@hyperam4594]

why is it still potato quality?

[@revotor8142]

Ivan Garcia It's an hour and a half of hd video.

[@DonovanPresents]

Revo tor Still awkward. Idk why it normally is fine

[@sparktoad]

I find it funny to watch this potato quality on my 4k TV Lol I'm glad it wasn't 3D.

[@EffinChat]

"Is it moonfolk tribal again?" Vince is fucking savage 😂

[@Aberdwyn]

Love Vince :) Perfect fit with the group

[@jeffreyhafner9214]

Tune in next week when Richard wins another game!

[@PleasantKenobi]

We will stop him one day.

[@Riboflav1n]

PleasantKenobi never

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Jeffrey Hafner it's their own fault. They should target him much sooner.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Mark my words, I will try.

[@toastman3421]

Yo so this is my first time watching a video with Vincent, and I nearly freaked out when I hear him talk. He sounds exactly like this KZbinr Glenn Webb I used to watch who died a few years back.

[@GaryFromLiberty]

45:12 it says that Vince's trigger's are Seth's. Oh MTGO, never change

[@NightShadowSystem]

i would love to see the return of Movie Night and Game Night :)

[@Nick-vw7or]

Seth: "Why is this a delayed trigger? The _heavens_ are *_falling_*

[@nickstelzer]

The collective groan at 20:40 hahaha

[@Macro11Underscore1]

man, id love to see a guest star like sean plot: day[9] on here...

[@Artaimus]

Is there some reason we still can't get secondary angles of play of this?

[@cassie7611]

I *c* what you did there Tomer.

[@infinitytimez2]

why does tomer tap out at 49:53? instead of crypt incursion on seth?

[@federicozacchi6722]

Love ya vince! It's about time we see some european gentlemen at the commander clash table ❤. Also keep it up with your channel, love your monored tron and dragonball bees nonsense.

[@johnc.5419]

I like this group. Good mix of personalities.

[@evanbrown431]

Why do they tap their lands at end of turn?

[@literature_geek]

I am so early for once that there is still only 360p. Comming back later. Also: I missed you guys! It was very boring while your show wasn't on. :)

[@nickjackson1993]

Jeez, quit the player shaming y’all. It’s funny how the only the youtube comments seem to care about this stuff. The playgroup clearly enjoys Vincent’s company.

[@Grimpo96]

I like the new thumbnail for Commander Clash

[@netahamiel4304]

Why is the qulity so low? (photo quality)

[@Stroggoii]

They took like 6 years to print Diabolic Edict with it's A25 art. I wouldn't hold my breath for that Reflecting Pool reprint.

[@ODIRGO]

weren't cyclonic rift already banned by the time this game was uploaded?

[@imasiontist653]

I love these dragons they look so fun. Nicol bolas and arcades are my favs.

[@imasiontist653]

And arcades is the very best

[@kevintheredleprechaun6237]

I'm just curious, why is it that you guys tap your lands at the end step and just do nothing with your floating mana?

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Mark Sean Ace Gadayan it's so the turns go smoother.

[@kevintheredleprechaun6237]

+Drake the troll Oh, I see.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Tom is filling in next week, he'll explain it ;) (Actually, tapping out let's us use the F8 key which just passes until your next turn rather than having to click "okay" for every action, so if we got nothing going on we usually just do that.)

[@briankelley6231]

Aww man I can watch this one my phone or computer but not via chromecast because of error 68W9 7ZYV 4HQ0 :( damn you, 68W9 7ZYV 4HQ0

[@keilanl1784]

Why only 360p? I can't read the cards anymore :(

[@PalPlays]

Keilan L Video was processing.

[@CantusTropus]

PleasantKenobi on commander clash? PogChamp

[@Lucarioguild7]

Why is everyone so obnoxiously shiting on Tomer? When he was being perfectly fair to everyone

[@PleasantKenobi]

I't just banter. I think he was fine, if we are talking seriously.

[@jackpabich763]

Yay! Another Commander Clash!

[@adden5679]

If salt could alone support a human Vince could end world hunger.

[@chekl1982]

Given my 1st and last name, i was shocked to learned the theme of Tomer's deck. wow .... and why?

[@alexvelazquez8851]

Vince is Soo good in this!

[@Skwibwarb]

Is tomers deck two word names?

[@Skwibwarb]

Oh wait no it’s letter “C” tribal

[@DonovanPresents]

Before watching the actual gameplay, I am rooting for Seth's deck

[@gareth4348]

Did I hear no mana crypt and sol ring?

[@martinkaca]

House rule banned.

[@oosdhdhrjhrhjjfbsjda]

It's hard to read cards with this quality when watching on a cell.

[@willowispgames2170]

When Wall Tribal is now a thing and Richard isn’t playing it

[@kingfuzzy2]

Unfortunate

[@Edricama]

I actually enjoy Commander Clash much more now that there’s Vince instead of Tom.

[@onlyRicky_x]

Is Tomer...is Tomer playing 'C' tribal?

[@PacManTheSoulEater]

Week of punts?

[@alexlozano5021]

I now have high blood pressure from all the salt.

[@bolassnowman7429]

So sad to not see Tom and Jenn. Haven't watched this for months. It's cool to see Seth back though

[@WilliamNiles-ro2dl]

I’m literally building Nicol bolas/Ugin and the 3 siblings right now.

[@jorgeboi9126]

Black white knight commander deck would like to see

[@d9_1056]

ok....Tomer's deck might be the best deck I've ever seen.

[@sidclauwers5945]

I am back, season 5 episode 2 watching for the 4th time XP

[@jonaszjuszczynski863]

highest quality is 360p?

[@germanyjones2700]

20:30 Dat collective “ohhh”

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

It’s too bad that whoever builds Goreclaw next week won’t be able to make a proper Bear Force One, only three bears interact with her in any way and one only does with Threshold active at that.

[@samuelfish4830]

Grixis is not a plane, it was a shard in the plane of Alara before it was reformed into a singular plane of death and destruction

[@imasiontist653]

Seth: *it that betrays* 😏

[@kaijuknight9109]

Is Vince from the UK or from somewhere else in Europe

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Rekker Shark uk

[@PleasantKenobi]

I am 73% Southern English. My accent is proper south coast/south of London.

[@kaijuknight9109]

PleasantKenobi that's cool cause I'm also English so it is nice to see someone from our side of the pond of commander clash

[@lilispoon369]

Why does chromium have such a small face in the thumbnail

[@jasonkorf7700]

Is Tomer actually gonna play aggro next week and not complain about attacking people? Nah, hollow threats Tomer, hollow threats lol. We all know you're gonna play a janky brew with Sai, Master Thopterist so you can try to draw a bunch of cards before one of the other three kills you. That's the natural order of things in Commander Clash, lol.

[@PleasantKenobi]

You are in for a treat!

[@seanbaumann8825]

I think Vince is a great fit. Also Seth I think there is one cheap card that is amazing with Vaevictis not on your deck list, Haunted Crossroads.

[@seanbaumann8825]

Seth, I saw you had Evolutionary Leap in the deck and I recently built a Jund Commander and realized the power of that with Sneak Attack. With enough mana you can Thrilling Encore or Living death to make them stick after the sneak and evo sack. Maybe Patriarchs Bidding if you are doing tribal. At that point might as well add Descendants Path too for other synergies.

[@ianwojo-gaming9224]

Sean Baumann I think Vincent would be a better fit if he didn’t complain like a five year old child the rest of the game after his general got destroyed one time

[@darkeevee5729]

I think the best jank "tomer tribal" would be cephalids. Or viashino's.

[@ignisbad9158]

9:21 is now hysterical

[@DukeGusion]

So excited for Nicole Bolas ^^

[@thuggishcone1392]

DukeGusion Nicol. Only correcting cause its the same as my name.

[@csys690]

Yeah, he still doesn't get that it's a play on "Nickel" just like 'Palladia' is a play on "Palladium". Do I even need to reference Chromium?

[@androkguz]

What are arcades and vaevictis?

[@csys690]

Vaevictis' last name "Asmadi" is a reference to the metal Antimony. In Hadis, Antimony is called "Asmad". Arcades however. I couldn't tell you. Took me 20 mins to figure out Vaevictis.

[@jackaaron8589]

Did you here about the Taco Bolas meme?

[@DonovanPresents]

After you guys not picking Palladia-Mor I want to build a deck with her as the commander

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Donovan Simmons it's bad. It hits for the normal equivalent of 3, with no other effects is bad.

[@victormvemba1141]

I realized the "C" tribal theme at 36:44

[@jozzyalthefool9273]

Do Elder Dragons of Tarkir vs Elder Dragons of Dominaria

[@kokushin55]

So Richard’s Rift out of Kess did cost only two, but he didn’t use the extra mana afterwards either. On another note, I find very interesting that Seth punted very badly this game and he didn’t get any hate in the comments. Imagine if it was Tomer who didn’t sac the Bearer of Worlds...

[@MrCeall]

I figured out tomers tribe at 37:00 i feel so dumb

[@okashiromi5541]

I'm tempted to put "invisibility" in the arcades deck.

[@17fier]

He played chill to the bone because he is a cold hearted killer

[@instantspeedlive8667]

what is it about Richard that makes him superior

[@MultiTaz333]

I love this new bolas due to the reanimation

[@loonar7960]

What a punt Seth. What a punt.

[@MTGGoldfish]

I probably should have read the card :(

[@natoraishido]

Gaea's Cradle, really? I miss the budget/soft ban list.

[@ethanfordford6621]

Moon folk with walking atlas seems good

[@chrislively9230]

Ten secs in and I’m autovoting for arcades

[@AppaTheBizon1228]

I c what you did there

[@ADVBCAT]

Please give us letter tribal!

[@carter9449]

Mtgo does not translate to low resolution well

[@stephenhousman6975]

familiars are not like GAAIV. Familiars reduce the cost only by one if it has 1 or both of the corresponding colors colors.

[@dongatubes]

Cleansing Nova - sweeper for chromium. XD

[@gustavomartinsdesouza5548]

I love how everyone forgot meekstone when vaevictis entered

[@tommylanders1997]

Gustavo Martins de Souza Dance of the Dead untaps Asmadi, not the untap step in that situation. Meekstone wouldn't have done much then

[@gustavomartinsdesouza5548]

Tommy Landers but asmadi is an attack trigger no? They were wandering about the haste, but he could not attack, or I understood wrong haha

[@tommylanders1997]

Gustavo Martins de Souza The haste was for the Anger in the graveyard, which when it would have been relevant he didn't have the mountain in play yet. Meekstone only prevents untapping, so if it entered untapped with haste it wouldnt do anything. When it was reanimated with Dance, it entered tapped so hast wasn't relevant and meekstone would normally prevent it untapping in the untap phase, but Dance already did that and gives it an upkeep trigger to untap. So in both situations Meekstone wouldn't have really stopped Asmadi

[@gustavomartinsdesouza5548]

Tommy Landers ahh i get it, thanks, on my mind they were preventing the attack xD

[@tommylanders1997]

Gustavo Martins de Souza No problem, glad to help you figure it out
