Didn't See THAT Coming! MTG Commander Gameplay ft. Ayara, Urza, Thalisse & Lathril | EDHijinks #63

[@KR-nd4dm]

Somewhere, Josh Lee Kwai feels a disturbance in the Force, Olivia. As if millions of cards were milled out in by an Altar of Dementia, and then a player died.

[@frankmart3339]

😂😂😂 such a great GK moment

[@RedCometNurse]

My absolute favorite Gotcha happened, but then the Gotcha to the Gotcha made it even better. I love it. 🥰

[@liznakleonhardt4406]

Lots of missed triggers here. Mainly, Urza, Chief Artificer reads: Artifact Creatures you control have Menace. Outcome was the same in the end, and the back to back big plays were pretty sweet!

[@Shaddymaze]

Around 18:19 Lord of the Undead can't attack since it has summon sickness. No biggie, mistakes happen! Just pointing it out.

[@danielfrazier5586]

Missed the discard for Cryptbreaker to make the zombob

[@mikephillips1043]

He also swung with lord of the undead the turn he played it. But the life didnt matter in the end.

[@Skywarp2099]

The absolute viciousness between Eilid and Olivia is admirable sometimes.

[@maxbodifee3263]

I think it is past that stage, at least for me. But as long as they have fun right 😉

[@cre8rzaw]

Pretty sure field of ruin results in "each" player searching for a basic, so Olivia and Eili should have both also gotten a land off of that. That's why Demolition Field is strictly better.

[@jeffgloves5362]

I came to the comments for this. Thats why my play group ordered a bunch and we all switched to demolition field.

[@brandonsharpe58]

I dont want to be "that guy" that points out mistakes. But olivia was dead when she attempted to block everything with solemn, her comander and the other creature at 1:05:03. Urza gives all artifact creatures menace so shes could only block one creature at the time. Still fun game

[@Flyboy245]

As soon as Olivia started asking how much total damage it was, I knew she had inkshield. I think that’s her trademark card. Thought the game was over but then the comeback

[@bennguyen4664]

That may be true but I think it's alter of demensha.... considering her games knights and extra turn

[@Kantharr]

I had a feeling it was inkshield and was right! But he had a perfect response to it lol

[@servillo8723]

Flake's entire hate party on Sai was hilarious. Every single callout was spot on.

[@paweburza9408]

Sai did nothing wrong!

1:06:18 again, how those thopters attacking? Summoning sickness??

[@astrid_257]

Great finish! Really gotta watch to the end for this one!

[@mollymantooth3483]

That ending was the best. Watching Olivia's perfect inkshield backfire was amazing!

[@t.g.7973]

At 1:06:00 I kept yelling they have menace! All the artifact creatures had menace so Olivia could only block 1. Should have been over then

[@markwilliams6008]

Didn’t effect the ending but yes the menace had this over earlier

[@billberndtson]

18:16 Oooh! Sounds like a plan! 😁

[@mikes7423]

18:10 How did Lord of the Undead swing? Summoning sickness not a thing anymore? ;)

[@CosmicGiggalo]

"And because all of you clown shoes are just sitting on your asses." I like this guy, I like the cut of his jib.

[@NEALMateo]

GUD GAWD ALMIGHTY!!! THAT BEAST WHISPERER HAD A FAMILY!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@AnimateDead]

This is awesome, I fkn love gwent and I came from gwent to magic, so to see these two on a commander show just warms my heart! love this episode!

[@nicholasrolo886]

This Thalisse deck man.....she's in my severina deck and I'm tempted to build around my second copy

[@raphsbabe7337]

What a fantastic ending! Inkshield is a favorite of mine. I was quite giddy seeing it played in such a fantastic way! Thanks for all the great content ladies! Keep it up!

[@ericap1098]

Totally needed this today, been a rough one. I really enjoyed the new guests, and had a bunch of laughs. Thank you for the great content.

[@EDHijinks]

Hope tomorrow's a better day for you! Hang in there!

[@ericap1098]

Thank you so much!

[@paweburza9408]

Stay strong! Much love!

[@hudaphux]

Was the cow supposed to be crucible of worlds?

[@EDHijinks]

I don't know lol. Perhaps. I'll check my decklist

[@hemjold]

I think you're right, maybe Eilidh had Landfall shenans in her elves deck

[@AuthenticallyChad]

“Why wouldn’t I just eat the roast garlic.” 😂 I need some merch…

[@jesseherod9316]

i love how lathril is immediatly the target when vampires are OP and its olivia playing. the guys had horrid threat assessment hahahah

[@geromesilva1262]

poor Sai...he doesn't clap at planes...LOL

[@Herobizkit597]

C.O.W. - maybe a Crucible of Worlds substitute?

[@blemski]

Also my guess, I was scanning through the comments to see if anyone else was thinking the same.

[@mtgsus]

This is why I like aristocrats. It's just one big mess and you will probably miss some triggers/math. At 41:16 Olivia could mill a total of 188 cards if she sacrificed everything in the most optimal way.

[@charun8200]

did olivia make treasures off of eili drawing avia guardian project and i think it's beast whisperer?

[@PooleLerfer]

Great fun video to watch guys!! Olivia will there be an updated version of your Thalisse deck on moxfield at any point now new cards are out?

[@BigEdBol93]

I’m not magic proficient, is there an end step to a dead player’s turn for the tokens to have been created on?

[@EDHijinks]

There is, yes. I had to double check myself but the phases still happen even though the player's dead.

[@rkk667]

Thank you for all of the swamps today. Appreciate you

[@blueone3863]

Love this one as well and just watched your episode on the Professor's channel as well

[@jcalendar882]

Idk if it's me but the background music at around 1:00:00 sounded like simple and clean. Good game though.

[@TheIhplodur]

At 1:06:00 Pawel attacked with creatures he casted that turn and the turn before Olivia played the plains from Solemn Simularicrum untapped.

[@vawn520]

geeze, what a game that ending was wild! great game! awesome new guests, Im going to have to give Gwent a try I've always heard good things about it

[@paweburza9408]

Thank you! 🙏

[@billberndtson]

03:39 Can they be made into treats like other cereals can? 😃

[@EDHijinks]

I haven't tried but I don't see why not!

[@starkiller182]

I have a mono green commander deck, where every basic land has a different artwork.

[@Cozy_MTG]

Bonus points to Flake for that beautiful license plate on the wall in the back!

[@silverado6047]

URZA GIVES ARTIFACTS MENACE

[@Demotros]

Urza also gives artifact creatures Menace. I only remember that because killed me, literally, yesterday.

[@nomizak]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Olivia should've died way sooner because she couldn't have tripled blocked to save herself. Like others have said mistakes happen no big deal. I died from missing sunbird's invocation triggers when I played on Wed.

[@mattipaarni8594]

That plaw by Pawel was amazing. What an ending

[@V3cna.]

The irony of steel chairing with angels on today of all days and on the now Phyrexian commander

[@IzzetNilson]

This game is why commander is so freaking awesome. The game ended very similar to how my wife and I played against each other her using a quandrix precon strixhaven deck and mine I think an m20? Precon Chronoclasm with Savine. I created like 20 pegasus tokens and she created that many+1 bear tokens that fought them and it was kind of insane!! This game gave me life today

[@okgut2033]

So many words on cards, i somewhat wish we have more cards that say "everything is vanilla" :)

[@jwomackandcheese73]

I love Magic, I love Witcher 3, I love Gwent, I love CD Project Red, I love Elder Dragon Hijinks, I love this episode. I am in a happy place.

[@paweburza9408]

❤

[@lightfut]

Also, love Thalisse. They are most assuredly short. Because a small Medium at large is the only way to be

[@netlord23]

Cryptbraker would be way better if u didn't have to discard a card when u activated it like Flake.

[@pleravens]

although to be fair, some decks actively want cards in graveyard for more shenanigans or to hit discard triggers (like Archfiend of Ifnir)

[@cbinette100]

Cryptbreaker is amazing in Varina because it feeds both abilities

[@Bammab127]

"Most famous commander ring" well you forgot about SUFFERING

[@ThePethrax]

Cheat count: 4. First, Flake didn't discard to Cryptbreaker. Second, Flake attacked with Lord of the Undead same turn he was summoned. Third, both Flake and Burza attempted to remove Thalisse before her trigger occurred, however, due to Eilidh being defeated, her turn automatically goes to the end step, which instantly triggers Thalisse, so the ONLY time they could have reacted is BEFORE Eilidh's Guardian Project trigger resolves. Fourth and final cheat, when Olivia blocks Bronze Guardian and the other artifact creature when they have menace. Now, considering that Olivia would have had 5 1/1 vampires, 12 4/4 angels *with flying* and 25 1/1 spirits *with flying*, Flake having 26 life, and Burza having 30, this would mean that Olivia would have 73 points of damage in the air- she could send 7 angels to kill Flake, 5 angels and 25 spirits at Burza, one angel getting blocked leaving 45 damage to go through, Olivia wins, IF the third cheat didn't occur.

[@brandyourfan9244]

Underrated comment^ Good analysis

[@Minedeleis]

Any Olivia game with an Autel of Dementia is a game i'll enjoy watching ! Also elves.

[@Herobizkit597]

"He's not a Juggernaut"... that's right, he's a JuggernautYET.

[@cloud3151]

I’m with Olivia. Whenever I eat Japanese BBQ or Korean BBQ I would also cook some garlic to eat it. I’ll save the smaller pieces to mix with the sauce, but everything else I’m eating.

[@danielfrazier5586]

Why didn't Olivia war room at each end step to dig for a draw

[@joelhummel5542]

His creatures also had menace

[@theweirdlyamused_flash]

I love the magnetic covers

[@maxbodifee3263]

Glad you used that war room to the fullest Olivia ;) And Flakes Sai jokes (?) are just painful..

[@Dustey]

Always awesome to see someone play with a commander that I have as well. Which is Ayara.

[@josiahsantos6286]

Finally able to play catch up and loving the double Olivias vibes the guest bring on the show. Seriously one of my favorite shows 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SackofDooDoo]

Perhaps COW was Crucible of Worlds?

[@ThePeckishFox]

100% agree with Olivia, just eat the garlic!

[@IamXSublime]

I Think daxos token shoulda died from -3/-3 since its a 2/2 zombie. Anywho great episode! Love the energy from the cast here, definitely a great show!

[@MongoTheMagnificent666]

iirc, it doesn't get the -3 because it wasn't on the board when that effect resolved. I could be wrong though.

[@alenviskovic7026]

please have flake and burza back! one of my fav episodes

[@jbramley]

was that COW a Champion of Wits?

[@ShadowsilOmega]

I could guess that COW card is Crucible of Worlds lol

[@coraudo89]

I'm starting to watch the episode and I just have to do it - Powodzenia, Pawel! 😁

The artifacts creatures had menace from urza

[@jomarsantiago978]

I was screaming ink shield the whole time she was looking for plains!!!

[@KeinBierVorVierAlter]

tainted sigil was still summoning sick when olivia tapped it for it's ability at 1:03:37 or am i wrong? just wanted to point it out, i make a ton of mistakes too :) great episode!

[@juliaru9920]

Tainted Sigil is not a creature therefore has no summing sickness ;)

[@johnfernandez6584]

"Clicking the things that make the dings" ya i will like this channel

[@gielvanarkel4867]

So...... the C.O.W. in this episode was actually a proxy for Cathedral of War?

[@nycstreetpoet]

Is Olivia not activating War Room on each of Pawel’s end steps? If I’m looking for mana, I’d risk it. Ending every turn with mana open that isn’t being used just non-productive. Who knows what would’ve happened with the extra draws?

[@4fr0d1s14cuM]

Im running Inkshield in my breena-deck and it won me so many games, especially with true conviction on the battlefield ;) i saw it coming too, but she still lost :D

[@carnophage666]

Very nice game! Now Pawel, if you're not doing anything else, please fix that damn treasure chest so I can wear Wolf School Gear yeah? Thank you. Kidding, love the Witcher!

[@MagictheGatheringDigest]

Inkshield getting busted up

What better way to spend the night in the truck while on the road than eating delicious mexican food out of the back of a shady chevy van at a truck stop? How about watching the Hijinks too!

[@joshuastucker1060]

Olivia!! Inklings!!! Thalisse makes 2/1's!! PUHLEASE!!! :( you could've milled so much more lol

Olivia! Use your War Room!!

Been binge watching you guys a ton the past couple days. Any chance we'll get Georg back? Can never get enough of him 😂

Lol, we'll have him on again soon!

[@stratuvarious8547]

Is Flake the first person to come on Hijinks that didn't bow to peer pressure?

[@maybeisuckatlife]

I'm guessing the COW was Crescendo of War

[@michaelivacic7673]

Crucible of Worlds? Crescendo of War is white

[@maybeisuckatlife]

@@michaelivacic7673 It's for her humans deck though

[@PatoAsfixiasocial]

Urza's give Manece to artifacts creatures.

Garlic Confit + soft cheese = ❤

Doesn’t Urza give menace to artifact creatures?

Sure does! We missed it lol

Flake: New York ASSMAN

[@theaeskey2502]

WE GOT THERE!!!!!!!!! LOVE ME SOME OLIVIA MILL ON DEMAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Speaking of mill on demand a sick combo to look at for your deck olivia would be altar of dementia, putrid goblin and thran vigil. Then you can mill everyone out all at once! MILL FOREVER!!!

[@dragade101]

@18:29, zombies have haste? Lord of the Undead shouldnt have attacked lol

[@OmegaMTG]

36:00 Straight eating a clove of garlic. Are you my long lost sister or something Olivia? lol

[@sloppypapi8886]

I love Gwent. Not exactly able to keep up with all the card changes and meta shifts but I do so love the direction they took it in and how far from Witcher 3 Gwent it is. I guess that's the problem with digital card games, you can so easily change cards instead of releasing new ones which makes some cards/decks a lot less effective.

[@DarkPikachuYTV]

1:09:29 that’s better than what i thought Settle the wreckage 😏😊

[@radu7472]

Great episode! Question for Olivia, where did you get such awesome tokens? They look amazing

[@jaygallaugher4318]

As a big fan of the urza deck it was killing me that he did not know urza gave the artifact creatures menace but the ending was still a lot of fun with the game winning damage negate being canceled out by the perfect board wipe response. That was the kind of thing you would expect to see on a scripted episode of yugioh or something

[@insainraven9875]

“Reverse Uno” “No U”

[@Skeithalot]

Great content.

[@captredbeard471]

23:50 Olivia would have a token copy of Daxos after the -3/-3 to all the boards from Ratadrabik

[@ltmaid]

she wouldn't. It's not possible for her to have also sacrificed it to the alter of dementia and keep the non legendary copy after.

[@karmoo00oo]

COW = Crucible of Worlds?

[@yannpoupard4059]

why don't equip the crânial plating to the jungernaut or the master of aetherieum and smash harder ? It's only one generique mana to equip and he pas several turne with 1 mana open
