[@Xylasider]

Oh no Alias! Syr Konrad and Mindcrank should have made Dakota mill for each creature Olivia milled from damage. His creatures could have triggered more from her. There was potential for that to have been an endless cycle that would have won you the game.

[@EDHijinks]

I dun goofed! I happily died to gobbos nonetheless and will take my 2nd place :P

[@Xylasider]

@Elder Dragon Hijinks I only know because Syr Konrad is a deck I run too! Still super fun,love your content.

[@RaisingJackal]

Thanks for the idea. I am now putting mindcrank in my knight deck.

[@michaelbutta4764]

@Xylasider, I discussed this in an early comment and am curious to hear if you agree with my assessment! They did miss “creature enters the graveyard” triggers (I counted 5) but it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. Dakota’s decklist has only 25 creatures total and he had already invested some to the board and in the graveyard so the creature count remaining in deck was even lower. At that point in the game, he had more than +\- 20 life and/or cards in deck to be milled and wouldn’t have died/decked. Mindcrack and Konrad never go infinite but are far more successful at eliminating opponents when: - You are playing in a full pod (no players have been eliminated) -All opponents are at roughly equivalent life totals (no player drops out early and tanks your odds) -All decks have a high concentration of creatures Unfortunately for Alias one of her opponents was dead, one was playing voltron (basically singleton creature), and her final opponent also had a pretty low creature count (25).

[@Lordmuhkuh23]

@@michaelbutta4764 Well, obviously Syr Konrad never goes infinite, he stops once there are either no more cards or no more hitpoints among enemies, lul. /s If the cards lie perfectly, he can perfectly end the game with a Mindcrank in a single swing. :D

Loved seeing her on this episode! Not only is she a lot of fun, her editing skills added so much to this game!

[@ericap1098]

Loved the Hijinks crossover. That was such a wholesome game. I've never seen someone happier to kill Brian, and it was hilarious. This channel rocks! Also, awesome editing, Eilidh!

[@ToutisMaximus]

Opening is always a BANGER. Love tuning in every week!

[@sapphox5709]

I love the irony that Oko is a sweet little boi and Elspeth is a whole menace

[@ferdithetank7535]

AlliasV is probably my favourite internet person to watch playing Magic. Her "casual cruelty" attitude is just wholesome, always fun to have such people in your playgroup.

[@warplayz]

The audio is much better in this video. Appreciate the improvement.

[@georgegottschall3439]

The Queen of Editing! Two reasons I watch this show. #1 Catchy intro tune and Brian's old school stories. Old school player power! 👊. When are we going to have postgame story time with Brian? Krazy Khroichles With Kibler. 😮. Olivia...take notes when you get beat down by a legend. Eventually you will be a legend killer. Brian Kibler Rocks!

[@BloodMoonGo]

Great gameplay, on point commentary from the crew. Top-tier channel!

[@FroPlamondon]

Great episode as always. Love the guests and cant get enough of Olivia and AliasV together!

[@ReyosBlackwood]

46:30 you guys are missing that Dakota is also taking damage from Syr Konrad, and that means his mind would ALSO be getting cranked. possibly triggering Konrad again.

[@CasperGrimshaw]

Leaving obligatory comment for support for one of my favourite youtube shows

[@EDHijinks]

That's as long as the intro is. The song is longer though, it's White Lotus by Streambeats.

I think that Brian's laugh just might be able to cure cancer. It's just so wholesome

It's a first for me to see a commander truly on the table. Go YOSHIMARU

[@commanderquantified8192]

I really wanted to see Olivia make Mirage Mirror a copy of Blood Reckoning and just destroy the game. 45:47 but seriously, always fun to watch you guys.

[@kiritokaguya9180]

What a game!!! The first time to see a Isshin win! This speaks volume for the threatlevel of the other decks 😄

[@sunnehboi6342]

Any chance the description gets updated for the Yoshimaru/Keleth deck?

[@beningram1811]

Maze doesn't say it doesn't tap for mana. it does say it's a land. I say you should be able to choose to tap it for mana, or it's printed ability.

Where can I get a set of those dog plains, They’re amazing!

at around 35 when olivia attacked with her commander, wouldn't her life be doubled again? i'm pretty sure she had an enchantment that gave her creature double strike

[@wolfsack1064]

Didn't see the Isshin player mill off Syr Konrad/Mindcrank trigger. Could have been a different game depending on creatures that got milled 🤔

[@Minedeleis]

The Commander at home/EDHijinks that was waiting to happen

[@okgut2033]

Just small add: alia would have triggered mindcrank a fee times more on brian (cause conrad did damage to EACH player) and maybe "cascade" to victory. But not a save thing

45:46 Couldn't Olivia have turned Mirage Mirror into Dakotas enchantment, Blood Reckoning, and have him loss 32 life before his creatures dealt damage?

[@Silverhawk100]

Why haven't they printed a Wrath of Dog card yet?

[@TheMatgonz]

So if olivias had mirrored the sir konrad and blocked a goblin she could have win, each konrad trigger would mill beacuse mind crank and the ishin deck must have many creatures, each creature milled damaging them again. Agains 17 life and 40

[@td4880]

@@StorytellerCharm You dind't see the video of Brian dealing 11 commander damage to Ben Brode on turn 2, did you? Brian plays every game like he wants it to be over by turn 4. I'm always fine with Olivia going out for him, makes for a fun Roadrunner/Coyote situation.

[@tophattoast4252]

True but I believe she played it wrong? when the -3 -3 spell was cast she said she only had a 2/2 and a 2/2 but lightpaws was a 3/3 becaise ethereal armour and it should've died regardless of totem armour because lightpaws would still have less than 0 toughness even if you sacrificed to totem armour, no? (I know the spell isn't permanent)

[@hordenmeisterAO]

@@tophattoast4252 Ethereal armour gives +1/+1 for each ENCHANMENT she controls, so is was +2/+2. Her only mistake was calling it a 2/2 when asked ho strong her creatures were. ;)

[@KyleL-n1v]

@@tophattoast4252 horden is correct. Light Paws base stat is a 2/2 which is probably why she said that as she didn’t take into account her Ethereal Armor boost which made it a 4/4. I have my own Ethereal Armor and now I have my eyes on that Light Paws for my Mono White commander. After all when one tries to build a Commander deck around every color scheme you want it to be fun, powerful, and spicy and that Light Paws deck fits the bill perfectly

Welcome to another episode of Olivia’s (one-sided) feud with Brian and then there are the other two guys!

[@Gierczyk88]

Shoudnt dakota lose life and mill from the creatures olivia milled?

[@michaelbutta4764]

Yes. Not only this but every creature he mills would trigger more damage and more mills. I believe they missed 5 potential mills (he later milled an additional 5 so would have been 5 deeper) His Isshin deck is pretty creature light (25 creatures total in his list) and he was at a high enough life/library total it wouldn’t have killed or decked him anyhow.

[@Chinobobat]

Brian’s legitimate “Wait what?” to “like Aladdin” was perfect

[@sheyjake]

The face Brian made when he asked Olivia who she was attacking "Who??" was absolute gold, I lost it lolol

[@mishatestras5375]

The killing blow to Brian wasn't allowed to be stopped by anyone, because Olivia promised to kill Brian and promises need to be honored in Commander. XD

Mindcrank was an insanely perfect answer to Olivia's absurd life total, what a piece of tech!!

[@Wiitigo_X]

If olivia mirage mirrored syr konrad theres actually a chance that alias dies and dakota is really low and olivia potentially lives because of syr konrad and mind crank

[@taylorjohnson5148]

I thought the same, but she’s playing Voltron and I figured she wouldn’t have enough creatures for it to matter.

[@Wiitigo_X]

@@taylorjohnson5148 not if alias and Dakota both mill too there's a chance but it's slim

[@bradg1772]

​@@Wiitigo_X Alias wouldn't have milled if Olivia copied Konrad, Mind Crank is opponents only.

[@Wiitigo_X]

@@bradg1772 true but if she copies the syr Konrad it doubles the damage and therefore the mill on Dakota and alias is at such a low life she may die via pings to death

Mowu, Yoshimaru… hopefully we‘ll see a Rin & Seri at some point? I need more and more good boi decks!

[@Googleflax]

It wouldn't have had an impact on the game, but Adeline triggers when YOU attack, not when she attacks.

[@calebbrown1068]

Ah yes, Hijinks at Home. My favorite Commander show. So excited to watch this game!

[@seizan88]

Sir Konrad deals damage to EACH opponent. Dakota should have taken 3 more damage, I think? And he should have milled due to the mind crank. Also exiling creatures from AliasV's graveyard does trigger Konrad. I guess chances are low that this would have matter. I'm just saying.... Mindcrank is crazy with Sir Konrad. You can just win on the spot without much effort. If the cards are used correctly.

[@EDHijinks]
