Commander Masters Precons | Commander VS | Magic: the Gathering Gameplay

[@josephswider2166]

Remember kids! Reading the card explains the card and in this particular game dramatically alters the course of the game multiple times.

[@scifoncra6376]

it wouldn't be an SCG Commander game if they actually read their cards, would it?

[@pyrotempestwing]

Apparently us Magic players have the same weakness as us Yugioh players: Reading.

[@hellvast1]

59:18 Corey saying "1/1's are real good on this battlefield" when he had decimate in his hand. Corey dying with Deciamte in his hand to Doomwake Giant is golden.

[@swaggles4]

For any future Chandra users, Awakened Inferno's [-3] is supposed to deal 3 dmg to each Non-Elemental creature, not each opponent. My brain was like "Wait... that seems bad... oh, nevermind."

[@WushuTaz]

The best thing about this set is the artwork from classic MtG artists like Ron Spears, Ron Spencer, Kevin Walker etc.

[@sbolton666]

The Anikthea deck is somehow the most powerful deck, I’ve seen it played now several times and it just dominates.

[@warcorer]

Yeah, every match except maybe one that I have watched was won by the Anikthea deck.

[@OhSarcasticOne]

Yeah, that enchantment deck needs to be killed asap Whilst the other 3 make obvious board presence, the enchantment one needs an engine online, but once it does it goes crazy

[@hungryhungryhobo196]

It was the only one I preordered and glad to see its pretty solid out of the box

[@chrisdixon7377]

Constellation is powerful. I have a progenitus constellation enchantress deck, it goes off.

[@killersniper7267]

​@@hungryhungryhobo196 i have it and supped it up alot its fun but it becomes to much if u build it the right way i just make people not want to play at the table me and my friends have a rule that i can only play it once a month

[@TheOriginalIBT]

I still dont get why they are so expensive, no different if not worse than regular precon cycles

[@Doofindork]

Greed. Plain and simple.

[@keithfilibeck2390]

because people will pay for it, they do market analytics to "know" that this is true, and so the price increases, and this will occur in your life in every aspect of it, forever, people pay millions of dollars to the bean counters to figure out how much they can raise the price of.. well anything, every year, or to shrink the size of a product "Shrink Flation" its called.

[@the27thunwanted29]

Y’all should also do upgraded versions of these!!!

[@KilljoyW]

Agreed

[@DHGcrimson]

yes plz

[@Guyu]

They used to, but there is to much product being made for them to do it.

[@0ff_13lvck4]

Yes

[@starry-dazed]

Agreed

[@GankinYaNexus]

CONGRATS ON THE BABY, COREY!

[@liviocamerini9585]

Onakke Oathkeeper can exile itself only from the graveyard, not from the battlefield

[@HighRollMTG]

These negative comments are so dissapointing, all yall are acting like you never misread a card or misplayed. Pretty sure the video is made for entertainment not for perfection. So lets all just chill out.

[@trevornunn6427]

Congrats Cory and wife!

[@BlackCatsXIII13]

Pretty sure at 23:54 when Stephen had already played a plains at the start of the turn, so he couldn’t play the tainted land. Could be wrong, but if pretty sure.

[@BlackCatsXIII13]

And because of that, he wouldn’t have been able to play the enchantment that wrathed all of the creatures off his opponents boards.

[@BlackCatsXIII13]

21:09 is when he played the first Land.

[@BlackCatsXIII13]

Right around 27:20 , Stephen even says he had no other enchantments to play. So him playing the extra land to play the enchantment creature and wipe the board changed the entire game. Jeremy still would have had his commander and Cory would still have his afflict sliver.

[@Zackeus1992]

Encore can only attack the opponent, not the planeswalkers. Changes the game.... a lot.

[@jolly-jellydunderii3058]

A bit of a mistake, calling spirited companion "the good dog" when their appropriate title is "Commodore Ruff".

[@ZRoflcopter]

Editor/Director should maybe step it up and do more than just track life totals....the amount of games that get out of hand due to the players not understanding or executing rules interactions properly takes a good bit of the fun out of the show in my opinion

[@GrandDungeonDad]

Its a lot more prevalent now post Justin. He caught a lot of that stuff during the games.

[@famousstranger8468]

Maybe the director is equally or worse at grasping the basic magic rules and interactions to the cast? I think starcity games should invest some of their revenue into bringing ACTUAL mtg players with mtg backgrounds onto the show so us viewers can watch interesting games

Oh snaps! Congratulations on the baby Corey!

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

“Would you care to zip me up” was pretty funny, Cory

[@Gengabear]

Wanna see these decks when they allow a budget to add and remove cards from them and play these again. Love when they do that

[@Thurman5699]

I miss Justin. The vibe just isn't the same without him.

[@Kiskey]

Corey should teach Lord of the Rings lore at Harvard for the next video series.

[@stevenkouns233]

Im curious to see the threat assessment this time because was way more threatening than Stephen and it seems like people just let enchantment stuff happen

[@stevenkouns233]

Edit myself Stephen was more threatening than Jeremy

[@cptkegron]

Thumbnail was not thought out for when your KZbin first pops up😂

[@nickjoseph77]

Just more proof to me that Zhulodok is too much of a glass cannon. You have to play a 6 mana commander that does nothing and hope it survives till the next turn to cast something for 7 or play it and a 7+ cost card in the same turn to get the double cascade. And they filled the deck with mana rocks and X cost creatures so the chances of you wiffing on half your cascades is too high.

[@ImAussieMate]

Precon was built terrible. All the X spells in a cascade deck. What an idiotic design. The deck is powerful. But you have to take out 20 cards to make it playable. You don't even need expensive replacements. Skittering cicada is unreal. Cast first spell for 7, then cascade into 6 or 4 CMC spells. It gets +17. Then since you cascade into Heddon archive you go for another spell. I had the cicada at 25/25 trample. And it's a 3cmc card that provides flash.

[@void91g]

Ooo definitely Div Top would go into huge combo for mystic

[@froggystrap1232]

Never got the Jeremy hate

[@shawnminer4355]

The fact he was playing the eldrazi deck might have something to do with it

[@maverickmike6850]

He plays alot of blue green and he plays simple big bombs when I can. I've seen it at my tables Dragon decks, Simic decks, big drops people will target before they can drop bombs.

[@froggystrap1232]

@@maverickmike6850 yeah but let him play at least one creature, its still a precon showcase

[@Ninguin]

@@froggystrap1232I’m with you. I think a lot of it is they know he isn’t going to be spiteful. Why attack one of the other three when Jeremy will just take it. It honestly sucks a lot of the fun out of this series when the same guy seems to get bullied every game, even on incredibly weak board states.

[@AMLigtvoet]

I don't think you are allowed to send the encore creatures to planeswalkers if the players can be attacked

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

Correct

[@ryantwomey3463]

you know what would be funny against the planeswalker deck The Elderspell 2 mana Destroy any number of target planeswalkers. Choose a planeswalker you control. Put two loyalty counters on it for each planeswalker destroyed this way

[@benh2847]

Stephen played 2 lands the turn he played his commander the first time

[@AgonalRhythm]

Yeah I wasn't sure at first but he plays the omen of the hunt, then resolves the khalni and goes to 6 lands. Plays a plays and then later the tainted wood. Definitely a mistake

[@gaurav925]

What are they writing down as they play??

[@levimenovske7868]

When you encore the Might Sliver should they all stack and give your slivers +6/+6? Honest question, I want to pick up this pre-con and am curious.

[@rocketrae21]

yes

[@keithfilibeck2390]

yes, and of course, none of them caught that.

[@CyberNewType]

Can NOT BELIEVE Jon had the nerve to tell Steven his turn was taking forever! Jon of all people!??? Seriously?!

[@void91g]

All changeling are shape shifters but not all shape-shifters are changeling 😂

[@Supermanisdeadman]

Why are these decks so expensive? None of these cards seem any more powerful or interesting than normal commander decks.

[@rocketrae21]

wotc charging stores more to get them

[@Skream1185]

Waiting for this one!

[@adambuechler9130]

You all need to remember Jon is good at magic but even better at politics lol. He keeps talking you all into killing each other lol

I hope you guys do $100 dollar or $300 dollar upgrades for these decks

[@ingolf82]

upgraded precons in the next game?

[@famousstranger8468]

If I was Jeremy and I was put down to 4 after like 5 turns or whatever I'd left and gone to another table

[@goingtroughchanges8257]

Deck contains a bunch of 1/1's, proceeds to play them into Doomwake, instead of the answer in his hand...

[@Dark-Pikachu1]

Can they send me some too for price of these precons

[@WhoThaCazer]

I find these decks way overprized sadly.

[@dirtybaconbanditprime]

Misplays stacked on misplays all game long baybee

[@danielwoodard7310]

Why do yall always target Jeremy first every game

[@fancytoxicsoda]

Too many precons and releases nowadays.

[@BabyBull72]

Agreed, we have Commander Masters coming out this week, then Wilds of Eldraine next month followed by Doctor Who the following... LOTR set came out late june... its almost a new release every month and pretty much ever set has 4 precons... its just way too many. It's too much to process as a player regardless of what level you're at between casual to pro.

[@edwarddaignault5243]

I agree as well, only the prices of these ones in particular are unacceptable to me, so I'll be passing

[@michaelcarungi1842]

Lots of mistakes in this video. Gameplay quality has dropped a lot in the last couple seasons. I uunderstand you all have other responsibilities to SCG/life and may not have the time to learn about your decks/particular cards but it's getting to the point where it looks like ya'll just show up because you have to. I will say Jeremy did some questionable things (play Mystic Forge when he had 6 to cast his commander, attacked with Kaldra and left himself completely open) and after a while you have to recognize Corey is going off a 1v1 background and won't try to politic, so why are you trying to reason with him? It's episodes like this that make me miss Justin a lot, he kept Stephen's wildcardness at bay (reason will prevail!)

[@TheKodiac58]

I am SOOOOOO tired of seeing Jeremy getting zeroed down. Especially from Corey, who destroyed the fun by never playing a social game. I love Jeremy, but I wouldn't blame him from stepping back from the show. I personally would have left seasons ago.

[@Skream1185]

Didn’t they just eliminate Corey last game. Jeremy always attacks Corey. He is the a lamb that helps jon win all last season

[@vincenicholson6969]

sat down and eldrazied all over the place

[@vgpatman9728]

Unfortunately there was zero eldrazieng all over the place from Jeremy

[@flowbot159]

I am really disappointed with the play of this episode. Letting Stephen just wreck the board unimpeded. Teaming up on Jeremy. Not knowing what Decimate does?! Guys, get it together!

[@DarkDragon665]

Ah, another week where Stephen and John work together and Jeremy gets targeted and grouped up on while doing nothing. John just flies under the radar by doing 'nothing' while playing everyone else like puppets. At this point, it doesn't matter what Jeremy plays because he gets targeted. It doesn't matter what John plays, because Stephen and him work together every episode and Corey falls into their goading way too much. Again, people not reading cards is insane. I'd get one or two mistakes, but how are they not learning to read the cards? It's like this show has just stopped caring or listening to anyone that isn't in the show. The background music is annoying and pointless. The 'Politics' have died off and are now just Stephen and John working together while Corey falls into traps and Jeremy dies. This is yet another episode I skipped to see the results and I don't even know why. I just feel bad for Jeremy at this point. Spends most of the time being targeted despite not being the threat and the rest sitting and watching everyone else get to actually play their decks. If this was the type of table I played at, I'd have left.

[@alexweil7296]

Ok

[@keithfilibeck2390]

Jeremy didn't exactly play well either, swinging Kaldra for basically no value and having no blockers after was foolish.
