I'd like Steven to get his revenge via gifting the chair deck to Corey. There's so many new chairs with the last sets.

That might make Corey too powerful Justin got very close to winning or won last time the chairs arrived

Damn, this is one of the best commander show's out there but these's 1 vs 3 are getting to be real downer's. Since Justin is probably not comming back can we keep Corey off of Blue control/stax/blink/extra turns and the likes ???

[@frankieh]

Blink decks are usually just misery machines.

[@Chpow01]

I tend to accidently win when I play bounce/flicker decks. I made a momir vig deck to be goofy, mostly gu creatures, very few mono color, I had dual nature in there as it was goofy I also had equilibrium in there as well as I had zero removal other than that. I cast a cloud of fairies as again, I was not even thinking combo combo, I was just looking forward to getting value from vig... then my friends said "ok, you went infinite, now what?". Felt like crap as i was just planning to durdle. It's like when my buddy accidently won because he had future sight + top + -1 cost to artifacts 1/2 blue creature. All of the parts are fine, any two are fine, add the third and he swears and scoops as he draws his deck for 0 mana.

[@georgethekingiv]

I mean there are but nobody plays them. Spirit tribal, aura decks, soldier tribal. If it ain't blink it tends to be stax. I run Deny Kiln as my Azorious commander

[@kingfuzzy2]

I've done aggro, fliers, baral cost reduction with no counterspells, and vehicles so far that are not played often in those colours.

[@Chpow01]

@@kingfuzzy2 One thing I have done is use more than just uw commanders when I want to do a uw deck; Atraxa lets you do fun proliferate things even if you run no other green/black cards, Belesarius Cawl can be super fun for an artifact deck. There are options, you just have to look at things that do not say "enters the batlefield"

[@Hyrulesavior11]

Regal Caracal makes 2 cat tokens not 3.

[@MrBojangles1984]

Perhaps a -1 point should be introduced if the deck doesn't have much to do with the commander?

[@Ozing1740]

That's very subjective and who draws the line

[@MrBojangles1984]

@@Ozing1740, if your commander requires the death of itself and other creatures you control, and you decide to blink everything for value instead, then your deck has nothing to do with your commander. We can all agree on that. Cory admitted that there was no theme for his deck. He took what was supposed to be a challenge and turned it into just another Azorius deck of his. I think that if 2 out of the 3 opponents agree that the commander is irrelevant to the deck then the player should lose 1 point. It would also keep everybody accountable and, in my opinion, make things more interesting in the long run. I don't even know why I'm spending this much time on this right now. I'm just bored on the internet, I guess.

[@nmglowden]

I will say the rest of the group is definitely becoming better sports with Corey's ridiculous power level difference. Better men then I. lol

[@nickjoseph77]

5 minutes in, I'm calling it that no one has read Stephen's commander "if it was cast from your hand." Oof Jeremy handed him the body bag by reading the card. Lol

[@TheStealthRhino]

As a viewer, I would appreciate it if Corey would use nouns. Jeremy tried to coax him to be specific, use card and player names, but Corey often says "I'll attack you with this." If instead he said "I'll attack Jeremy for 2 with my Charming Prince" it would go along way to improve the video. I hope you'll consider my feedback.

[@copperfield42]

Oh I didn't notice the channel rebranding until Jeremy mentioned it, but to be honest this show is the only thing I watch here so looks like a good change to me 👍

[@rathrain3455]

Panharmicon is what your missing. It doubled the trigger so he got 4 from each instead of two. Edit: double checked your correct pan was removed and he made 3 instead of 4 so it was him not reading the card. Not that it matters the game was over after the first loop lol.

These commenters are so salty over a pretty standard blink deck. He played some normal cards and didn't get interacted with. Turns out if you don't interact with the guy who gets ahead you lose. Weird.

[@DeathangelChrono]

If you haven't noticed when everyone else plays they stick to the theme of their commander as much as possible. Its supposed to be a casual commander show for fun (Thats where there fan base started and has grown from). Now I'm not saying blink decks are not fun for the player, but their is usually house rules for these situations (extra turn stack decks, blink shenanigans, mill) they just are not fun for everyone else at the table. Its why they used to have negative 1 point for one turn table kill. Most people feel that Corey has gotten a little overzealous with his power creep in Blue, Blue/White.

[@SteelCityBrad]

I feel like I've watched episodes of this show where one player dominates for the whole game and the only time the comments section is salty is when Corey does it.

[@juliusmarty9842]

@@SteelCityBrad finally!! somebody said it

[@Awesomesausages]

"Pretty standard" is the issue :p For the majority of casual players, watching casual EDH entertainment where you see the exact same deck you lost to yesterday has fairly little entertainment value. It's also not the first time we've seen a standard Blink deck on this show, to boot. We all know the Blink deck already, for most people it has lost its viewing entertainment value. It's fun to play, I have an old Roon deck myself, but we viewers are not playing. As strange as it may sound, the entertainment of strangers on the internet takes precedence over that of the players. It's a KZbin show first and foremost, after all. Additionally, if the crew has to expect a "pretty standard Blink deck" at any point, it stands to reason the response is more "pretty standard" hyper-efficient removal (+more removal in general), which heavily suppresses slower gimmick decks. It optimizes the creativity out of the table. Wizards is already pushing out tons of older cards with the onslaught of extremely impactful cards (lmao, nice Teneb the Harvester, have you heard of Ancient Dragons?), and bringing "pretty standard Blink" only further enhances that issue. Most people at this particular table don't mind playing with or against Armageddon, yet, we don't see them run MLD. It creates more non-games, it sucks away casual-tier entertainment, and limits deckbuilding freedom. The crew makes the choice of not running Turns, MLD, Stax, "pretty standard Blink", hyper-optimized lists, to improve entertainment value for a wider, casual, audience. Now, while we're on the subject of "pretty standard" deckbuilding: it disappoints me a bit when people (Steeevie, but also Jeremy every now and then) pick the EDH-Average as their deck. It comes with the same issue of being "pretty standard", but with an additional clause of being kinda medium. Yep, it sure looks like the most common Red Artifact cards. That definitely has nothing to do with Myojin, lol. Myojin doesn't give you much to work with to be fair, especially as the commander, but it's kind of a pity nontheless.

[@markbrierley6367]

It's disgraceful that you're still spending editing time adding music and missing tons of other visual things, such as when Stephen cast Daretti and the card wasn't shown on the overlay. Overlay wasn't updated with Sapling's commander damage on Corey after that first hit, and the second when they verbally confirmed he was at 4 commander damage, and the third hit. Stephen not trying to wipe Corey's board in response to Yorion was questionable. He would have lost a lot of damage but the amount of value Corey was going to get more than made up for it. And for people saying it wouldn't have mattered because he had a response, it would have removed one set of triggers and drawn that response out of his hand. Regal Caracal only makes 2 tokens. Which, if Stephen hadn't proliferated wouldn't have been enough damage to kill him. Love or hate Corey, you have to admit he does not regularly bring decks that are in the same relative power level as everyone else. I find those games incredibly unfun to watch, especially with Corey laughing as he stomps them.

The guy who commented below me is wrong. Panharmonicon works if an opponent's card triggers one of YOUR activated abilities, which seems like it would double up Confounding Conumdrum.
