DINOS GO RAWR!!! Commander / EDH Gameplay 110 - Jodah VS Wilhelt VS Gishath VS Elminster

[@bye1551]

Thank you for the voice overs, they really help for those of us who have a hard time with keeping up with what's happening. It's probably a lot of work, but I personally (and I'm.sure many others) really really appreciate it

[@AffinityForCommander]

No problem at all! 😁

[@dorukhanozen2580]

Good to see tribal decks are helding their own. Love Gishath would love to make a zombie tribal in the future as well.

[@AffinityForCommander]

I can't wait to see what new dinos the next Ixalan set brings! 🦖🦕🐊

[@AzurielMist]

Glad you covered that you have to pay "Additional costs" when it comes to Rooftop storm, commander tax being considered as a mandatory additional cost, thus you cannot get around the tax with rooftop storm. So you would pay 0 for the mana cost in the top right of the card, but then still be required to pay the X commander cost tax, so 2 generic each time. When I first built the Scarab God, and turned it into Varina, I made this mistake a few times, easy to presume it is just 0 including commander tax aha XD

[@AffinityForCommander]

Yeah, additional costs prevent a lot of combos with commanders! 🙂

[@DarkEinherjar]

Without Urborg, Temple of the False God is a very sad land to play as the fourth...

[@AffinityForCommander]

But with Urborg it's a better swamp 😉

[@TheVividen]

Great match! Gishath is always deserving of a win. It's my favorite deck for sure

[@AffinityForCommander]

It's so fun to play! 😁

[@Quansen45]

Has Martin ever thought of putting Majestic Genesis in his Gishath deck?

[@AffinityForCommander]

I might have to add that! 😁

[@SteakOSaurier]

17:46 sad Dinosaur noises🦕😥

[@AffinityForCommander]

Big sad 😭

[@TxarlesN]

Is nice to see you again. Thanks for the video.

[@AffinityForCommander]

You've very welcome Carlos! 😁

[@kamilwhaley-kalaora4839]

The Jodah player should have been drawing cards with the Vega!

[@AffinityForCommander]

He was! Sorry if we didn't explain it very well 😅

[@TheNatureInstinct]

Great game! So much Dino-energy rawr!

[@AffinityForCommander]

Glad you liked it! 😁

[@kennyboi01]

You would have created 2 poly raptors from the board wipe no?

[@lukeisstrange1533]

That looked like a really weird take on Elminster not really using his ability to the max. Rather it looked like a Azorius superfriends list that also plays a few wizards.

[@AffinityForCommander]

Jack's deck contains a lot of top deck manipulation that wasn't really seen in this video. I have more games recorded of it where it works as intended! 😄

[@jemm113]

I actually have mine work with some superfriends shenanigans because I’m already running a PW commander that demands Oath of Teferi. Plus doing this lets me play Oath of Jace for extra guaranteed scry. From there it’s a mix of scrying spells, a sprinkle of etb shenanigans for Archaomancer and friends, and some big top end spells like Approach of the Second Sun and extra turns. And alongside a stray Anointed Procession, those spells make for great Elminster downtick targets. Lastly I have a fair number of counterspells, board wipes, and targeted removal to round out my Elminster Control-turns-super friends deck 😂 Trust me, it runs better than it sounds. My PWs focus on scrying and control effects and don’t exist in the double digits, they’re there to take advantage of OoT. Plus that Oath has some flicker enabling so putting a few more repeatable sources like displacer kitten lets my Archaomancer effects get repeated too for consistent spell recursion. Plus a few high scrying creatures (scry more than their mana cost usually) get benefitted from this blink. And extra turns help me close out games wither with lethal boards of tokens or by casting Approach (which is VERY easy to do in an Elminster shell, trust me). From there counterspells and removal make up the rest of the control package to let me get to the mid-to-late game where I can fire off my turn spells to win.

Does anyone have any idea where to find that gishath art??

[@AffinityForCommander]

It's an Alter Sleeve, the link is in the video description 🙂

[@okgut2033]

You had 3 boardwipes (5 total but one was dinos stay and one was let me fight your stuff... oh you allready have nothing) and the dino deck allways was instandly back xD Dino king is dino king :)

[@AffinityForCommander]

It was a really good game for me! 😆

[@martintoth7902]

Hi! Have you got a decklist of Dinos, please?

[@AffinityForCommander]

It's in the video description 🙂

[@williamcortespoppedecarval951]

Why you didnt shuffle yidaro after cicling him?

[@AffinityForCommander]

Because I forgot 🙃

[@jml191]

You left the zombie player untap with both necoriduality and rooftop storm after playing Zacama?

[@AffinityForCommander]

I thought I'd keep her for more than a single turn! 😅

[@PirateNori]

LOVE THOSE DINOS

[@andrewkelly1337]

Temple of the False God represent

[@AffinityForCommander]

It's great when you have enough lands, otherwise it sucks 😂

[@bestmonkna7720]

How does a Wilhelt deck have necro/rooftop on board for like 8 turns and not win?

[@AffinityForCommander]

I'm my opinion he dropped it too early with nothing in his hand to abuse it with 🤔

[@Skywarp2099]

Is it just me or did Jack NEVER use his signet? It looked like it was always untapped, and that's wasted mana sitting on the table.

[@AffinityForCommander]

He used it occasionally... 😂

[@Skywarp2099]

@@AffinityForCommander (Insert Agent Colson gif) "Oh, so that's what it does." When Jack realizes the signet produces mana.

pls, need jodah list....thanks a lot

I'll see what I can do! 😃

Wilhelt better win

[@Tuturial464]

@@AffinityForCommander yeah kind of a big wish

[@matthewclark5702]

OK I love the dinosaur decks, but why on earth did you run out a bunch of creatures from your hand when you KNEW the guy before you just got a Supreme verdict back into his hand. Game could have been over 2-3 turns earlier

[@AffinityForCommander]

I'm very much of the opinion of forcing your opponents to use their removal as fast as possible. A lot of people at my LGS won't put anything on the board for fear of removal, which results in the game stalling and things not progressing 🙂

[@zachhannah8927]

Roar, punks.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Oh, well... at least my boy Wilhelt got second place. 🥲

Better than last! 😂
