Commander Gameplay (Gone COMPETITIVE) | Winota VS Tishana VS Ikra / Rograkh VS Rocco

[@lexisanterre]

"There was a theme of humans and non-humans in Ikoria, and thats why they're indestructible.'

[@arcticblast3247]

This has been a Certified Combat Step Moment

[@argonnas2]

Uh dryad arbor is a land Ja? 11:35

[@Stripespin]

yeah, culling ritual says "nonland" so even though it's a creature, it should've lived.

[@merrowmania1366]

It's fine. If Cratermaker was used to kill Arbor, the same about of mana would have been made.

[@MrGivla]

For the Winota triggers, since they resolve separately you should assign who they attacking as each trigger resolves, not wait until all have resolved. It’s a small thing but gives Alex a lot more (inappropriate) information when assigning attackers cheated in from Winta

[@Lazergician]

My first magic played was a guilds of ravnica draft. My pack 1 pick 1 was Niv Mizzet Parun. When I learned about commander, he was my first deck. When I first heard about the Spike Feeders, I saw an episode where Jerry was playing my beloved dragon, and I became hash tag team Jerry. Little did I know how I had been deceived.

[@ameliaburton5313]

That was a lot better than most for a first time piloting the deck. Way to go Jim!

[@ameliaburton5313]

Winota is just an awful match up.

[@MrGivla]

Why did the culling ritual kill the Dryad arbor?

[@Iron_Pope]

Definitely should have survived it. Not sur if it would have saved the game for Elliot (probably not?). But maybe that extra velocity would have let him combo a turn earlier!

[@nathanielreichley4640]

I also came here to mention this. It does say nonland so probably shouldn't have killed it

[@JulioGarcia-pj8rq]

Better question why do you get to make multiple copies of the everquill phoenix after you copy it with kikki jikki?

[@bend5963]

Wouldn’t the blood moon make the Yavimaya a mountain, therefore turning off its effect?

[@literNL]

Yeah I think you're right. They're in the same layer but because of dependency, Yavimaya becomes a mountain Edit: Just like with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

[@jasonandrews1770]

Ud think that. But layer rules are a mess

[@zuterwer1835]

card type changes are before ability changes. (iirc) so it should make everything a forest, then everything gets turned into mountains. it's weird like that.

[@Gmii7y]

How come Winota was able to attack the same turn? didn't have haste so a little confused

[@redartifice]

I love tinder wall, used to be part of some cool pauper combos

[@WhiteWizard42]

Is there a reason Jim didn't Deflecting Swat the Kiki activation on the last turn? Make it copy Order of the Sacred Torch and you've bought yourself a turn and can roll the dice on dying to Jerry instead of definitely dying to Alex. 12:18 - half of 35 rounded up is 18, Jim should've been left at 17. Others have pointed out the Arbor/Culling Ritual, and Moon/Yavimaya interactions so I won't reiterate them.

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

I debated swatting it, but without enough mana to hardcast the Kiki I was drawing dead after it left the top of my library. At best it extends the game with no benefit to me and at worst it's kingmaking.

[@WhiteWizard42]

@@TheSpikeFeeders yeah, technically you *could* cast it by sac'ing all your goblins to Prospector but then you don't really have anything to copy with it. fair enough.

[@benjaminking3677]

I am just a bit confused about Yavimaya getting around the whole blood moon effect. Shouldn’t it be turned off since it’s a non basic?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

After looking it up we realized Jim got it incorrect in the moment. The relevant rule is 613.8.

[@XavierGrim]

I don't think I've ever seen a pod recover from a board wipe so thorough, followed by a Doomsday pile to combo win. Magic is a wild game.

[@jasonappel1253]

11:09 dryad arbor shouldn’t be destroyed just the utopia sprawl

[@SundayBbq4786]

Nice bobcat goldthwait impression there, Eliot.

[@The808andrew808]

If Elliot always talked like his intro, I would refuse EVERYTHING he offered!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Love that turn 1 Lumberjack, so many memories 😂

[@hermodnitter3902]

Yup, such a power play ;)

[@franciscojaviergilcalderon3395]

6:40 why winota attacks? i thing she cant attack cause she is casted in the same turn

[@notmynameanymore71]

it has haste from Jerry's Concordant Crossroads

[@TheMarceldasilva]

How can you use the bird on turn 2, when you just Player it. Doesn't it has summoning sickness?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Jerry's Concordant Crossroads gave all creatures haste

[@TheMarceldasilva]

@@TheSpikeFeeders Ohhh okay, thanks for the super quick response. Good video and keep it up!:)

[@amros]

Everything is a Taiga? Do I not see any cards that are relevant other than Magus and Yavimaya? This is a layer 4 Dependency case which is the basic example where Urborg was used. Yavimaya is dependent on Magus, so it's a Mountain and will not turn everything into a Forest.

[@Dragonothica]

Was looking for this comment. This is indeed true

[@amros]

Adding to this: if you ever want to make a video on layers I can provide you with neat examples and explanations sourced from a presentation I did on the topic for judges.

[@didupaytheone2678]

Did someone say combat damage wins , in cedh ?

[@RossBox]

Always a delight hearing the intro tune

[@MrJ03K3rR]

I couldn't hear because there was a bunch of other noise but did Jim say "...an s-tier blocker in this lobby?"

[@ThatGreenGuy227]

don't worry Jerry, I am 100% behind "Winota? Hardly knew 'er!"

[@bouncedtv]

culling ritual doesnt kill dryad arbor as it is a land.

[@merrowmania1366]

It's fine. If Cratermaker was used to kill Arbor, the same about of mana would have been made and the game would play out the same.

[@youngmedusa34]

Instant like on the video during elliot’s introduction

[@rubensmith776]

Could they not have delayed the win by a turn by swatting the Kiki ability?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

With 2 cards in my library and no way to hardcast the Kiki Jiki after it was off the top of my library I had no way to win the game. No good reason to extend the game at that point.

[@skylardeatherage7989]

Wow I can’t believe I influenced jim so much

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Oh god skylar don't watch it was a bloodbath I am so bad at piloting this deck

[@ElDocBruh]

Built a pretty casual Winota. Used her twice. She obliterated my opponents. I'm not sure I should run her again despite the deck having pretty mediocre creatures in it! Boros needs to chill!

[@razorskatermax35]

Seriously thinking Alex has the most wins since he's shown up great games love Winota

[@fosterdawson7339]

Is it just me or does Jim look like Ryan George in the thumbnail

[@ingolf82]

Winota would absolutely suck if the creatures she brought in weren't indestructible, she would be a typical boros commander

[@chrisellis5518]

dryad arbor doesnt die to culling ritual, cuz its a land

[@merrowmania1366]

It's fine. If Cratermaker was used to kill Arbor, the same about of mana would have been made and the game would play out the same.

[@ThomasMcGhie]

H-hashtag king Jerry?

[@jeffwren7815]

Haven't even started the game yet, Winota was a mistake.

[@LeojPies]

It's me. I'm #TeamJerry

[@Trokee]

Couldn’t Elliot win turn 2? Getting Kiki and using it to make a bunch of bell ringers and win?

[@SylveonSimp]

There was very much interaction in this game...

MY GIRL DRYAD ARBOR IS A LAND CARD

[@p1k4nurxp13sr]

I see Rocco, I like. To be fair though, I’m not a fan of food chain in rocco due to how poorly it layers.

[@P3rvenc]

Culling does not kill dryad arbor

[@merrowmania1366]

It's fine. If Cratermaker was used to kill Arbor, the same about of mana would have been made and the game would play out the same.

[@DiploRadio]

Ritual doesnt kill dryad arbor ..

[@merrowmania1366]

It's fine. If Cratermaker was used to kill Arbor, the same about of mana would have been made and the game would play out the same.
