Do You Pay The Fun? 👺 Commander Gameplay ft. Lord of the Nazgul, Ragavan, Najal & Ovika | Ep. #80

[@GrinningFeline]

My play group decided that Ovika is a bunch of goblins in a phyrexian trenchcoat.

[@EDHijinks]

YES!! This is now canon.

[@kalamander8563]

Seconded. I'm stealing this.

[@sirKonradical]

So, to stroke my beard, a moment. Fun fact. Muxus actually is 5 goblins in a trench coat, and every day, they roll a dice to see which bother gets to be king that day. On the roll of a 6, they take the day off🤣

[@scottricks1676]

I read this as “Olivia” like damn y’all just ragging on this woman….but reading it again…checks out.

[@sirKonradical]

@scottricks1676 🤣 yeah I could totally see that misunderstanding

[@Amazonian]

So long, and thanks for all the SHARKS!

[@EDHijinks]

We'll call it a LOAN SHARK

[@Attackofthechoads]

Man, CGB must really love everyone there. True love is reminding you of your triggers

[@lichtheimer]

On the subject of Ovika and the goblins it's very simple: Ovika is a Phyrexian Nightmare. You don't question what those are. They just are. You only fear them as they are nightmare creatures. So obviously it's a matter of [REDACTED] in Phyrexian biology.

[@Vathyk]

31:48 Amy’s little crime spree just made me laugh thinking about Ragavan holding up a poorly written sign stating “Be Red, Do Crime”

[@nicholasrolo886]

Olivia casually TOSSING her general back into the library after searching it and have it sticking perfectly needs recognition

[@docauch5938]

CGB secretly playing “group hug” just by reminding everyone of their value triggers 😂

[@ursulcx299]

Covert go hug

[@HinekoAkahi]

CGB playing table police the entire game lmao That was so close in the end there - well done you guys!

[@RsDrPowers]

50:00 it's kind of BM that you counter the Starstorm after CGB uses a card (perfectly legal, because he did an action) but you did have priority and decided not to counter it originally.

[@ekplayscards]

Thanks for watching this week, yall! Appreciate youuuuuuuu

[@justotd1157]

At 41:43 when spiteful reposetion did 1 damage to CGB and created a second treasure token it shouldnt have as he was still under protection of the one ring which means at 49:58 ELIDH wouldn't have been able to izzet charm

[@Siegorius]

Once you go rhystic Study, you never go back buddy

[@Amazonian]

I ain't putting it in my decks!

[@Just-a-Canuck]

I only have one, and it’s in my Ovika deck. Everyone always pays the one 😒

[@Chinobobat]

Ovika alternate art almost seems like under the cloak are eyes or something sparkly. Love the shenanigans Amy brought using everyone else’s decks. Especially the rhystic study and the shark lol

[@NovaZero100]

Ovika is probably my favorite commander I've built, and watching Olivia go completely ham with it is so pure.

[@Jesterofyugi]

I already think Amy is so cute already, but her being cute is cuteness overload.

[@IzzetNilson]

I can't believe CGB brought the freakin' power 9 to Hijinks

[@ricksanchez4492]

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, anyway: - only one fetch - no dual land - no tutors - no fast mana - no infinities - no win combo - some 0 mv interaction - some stax - low average mv Result: Definitely not a low cEDH deck (not a 9), I’d say this is 6-7. PS: I consider precons (not CMM) to be 2-3.

[@IzzetNilson]

@@ricksanchez4492 Yes. It was a joke.

[@OpenWorldAddict0]

This show really earned it's name this time around. Fully hijunks ensued. Amazing!

[@dbotsis]

This was such a fun game to watch. Amy is hysterical and CGB is fantastic. Of course Eli and Olivia are awesome as always. Thanks for a great product.

[@christophermattler7102]

I’ve always thought that since Ovika is a nightmare, the nightmare she brings is the number of goblins

[@mdmedlin75]

So glad to see that Olivia remembered that the wraiths created by Nazgul have menaché 😂😂😂

[@Richuardo]

Came for CGB - stayed for Ovika

[@Wildonion1]

I love Olivia's reaction as she was casting the Exalted Flamer. It puts me back to when I pulled an Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore from one of my first booster packs and was trying to figure out what the heck I had gotten myself into with this game.

[@Chinobobat]

Also love Olivia’s take at the end, “got to the end just to stay mad.” 😂

[@TheRDRipley]

I love the hijinks. Im completely befuddled by some of the decisions in this game but I think thats par for the course on this channel 😆 Edit: also appreciate CGB. I also can't help but remind people of their triggers even if it doesnt actively help me.

[@scottricks1676]

Way I see it I remind ppl if it was bound to happen. Victory feels empty if eveyone isn’t playing at max capacity!

[@maidenless_tarnished]

Amy's deck speaks to my soul. I annoy my playgroup with all of my steal shenanigans and I can't get enough of it😅

[@BuckShotTherapy]

Yeah that board wipe should of gone through considering Ovika and Magnus were out at the same time. Those 2 creatures plus X spells is insane

[@lore_lite_]

this game was seriously awesome!! that ovika deck was WILD; such fun decks and hijinks on the show today! ❤

[@lewish1248]

53:50 CGB: Are you going to take me out? Olivia: Where do you want to go? 😉😂

[@ericap1098]

Yay for Amy and CGB! You always have lovely guests.

[@NearSightedViking]

Great game! Ovika is one of my favorite decks, doesn't always go as planned but its fun. Aminatou's Augury probably my favorite card in the deck I run, free cast and Ovika makes the table groan 😆

[@AutkastKain]

45:21 The only downside to the ring tempting you is that everyone wants to kill your ringbearer. Thematic and appropriate. The One Ring however, that needs a downside that sticks with you. An emblem with the burden

[@PfunkyMike]

Love seeing CGB (lose) and Amy being a sneak thief. Another great episode.

[@jacobdavis9424]

I absolutely love Najal, the storm runner. I am only now just about to watch this. But go Eilidh!

[@annalunceford3206]

I absolutely love CGB’s sleeves! I just keep randomly laughing when I see them!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Wow...another close game with CGB? This pattern of gameplay is _exactly_ why I keep coming back and watching these Hijinks. And just saying, if Kibler isn't on the show, then it isn't Elder Dragon Hijinks, it's just Hijinks. 😅

[@808SSCamaro]

Those playmats are like Eilidh! Cute 😉

[@Jaebird88]

Olivia bringing high-tier goblin mob energy.

[@EDHijinks]

Use our code [HIJINKS] to get $5 off your delicious, high protein Magic Spoon cereal by clicking this link: sponsr.is/magicspoon_hijinks! Hope you all enjoy the number of crimes in this episode! I sure didn't.

[@chrisbedrin3618]

Oooh, I get to point out an error that doesn't end up mattering: CGB wouldn't have been able to cast the Pongify as a final act of defiance because the Morphic Pool should have come in tapped because at that point he only had one opponent.

[@EDHijinks]

Good catch! Didn't even cross our minds

[@toze2145]

At around 22:00, Olivia could have paid for the Rhystic Study once. Thanks to both medallions, Ovika cost 2 less and she had 10 total mana, so the Jeska's Will die would go to 5, not 4

[@stratuvarious8547]

As I have a Najal deck, I must root for the flashy Efreet Wizard. Go, Eilidh!

[@stratuvarious8547]

The One Ring needed to have a major upside, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have a downside, think of the FLAVOR!!

[@josiahsantos6286]

Video equipment and a small child. You just describe CGB 😆 🤣 that got me good

[@isaacbuddy]

Aight so lore-wise, Ovika is essentially a sixth lesser dominus. When Mirrodin was restructured into New Phyrexia and its layers, the domini emerged from their respective sphere, almost like avatars of that aspect of the plane. Ovika is what emerged from what was left of Mirrodin after it was stripped for parts. That and the fact that all those blue dots are probably eyes is all we know about Ovika from the one paragraph of information we were given about him. So that leaves everything about him up for headcanon. Why izzet? Why goblins? Well the real domini are already monocolored, so out of of the multicolor combinations few are better suited to represent Mirrodin's once artifact rich tattered remains as izzet. And nothing represents a tortured Mirran more than Slobad, who held great influence over the plane at least for a short amount of time.

[@hans.m.j]

at the hospital getting chemo treatment for my messed up balls but edh keeps me sane during this crap thank you guys!

[@EDHijinks]

That's rough, man! All the best! Kick its ass!

[@mn6334]

I played my Ovika deck for the first time at MagicCon Minneapolis. Won 2/3 games that weekend each on the turn I cast Shared Animosity. I think that 1 game is the only one I've lost with the deck so far (only played it once or twice since then, though) Also Distant Melody is a silly draw spell for Ovika. Since Ovika is a Phyrexian you can name Phyrexian and even with nothing else on the board it draws 5 cards for 4 mana.

[@thadrin]

I need an "Eat Banana- Do Crime" shirt or at least a sticker.

[@calvinmobley9628]

Even though it was random, i love najal. I used em as a commander for a while, can definitely be pretty explosive.

[@DifunctedReble]

53:56 The real content: CAT

[@NT_Escanor]

Spilling a protein shake is just a thing and it’s never not sad

[@denniswijker7162]

I TOO have a dumb spells izzet deck, which I often let people just pick one of the commanders for 🤣. (or depending on how strong the other decks are, I pick a weaker or stronger option, my favourite being Melek, Izzet Paragon, eventhough he IS one of the weaker ones, weird spell copy shennanigans really tickles me). This deck has self destructed me about as much as it has killed others, and I LOVE IT :D

[@vawn520]

No sight of green anywhere?! what was this game, real fun to watch. Also cool Playmats!

[@ryanmann5497]

If they aren’t going to play dockside extortionist anymore then they should mail me a couple 😂😂😂

[@CianDelano]

Lovely gameplay as always, love the energy you all bring... but... did Olivia discard a land card at 44:33 without... ever... playing a land that turn?... I get distractions and mistakes happen... but that seemed really surprising none the less xD

[@EDHijinks]

I think that's actually the most asked question in commander, "did I play a land?" XD

[@sehinshaw38]

There is a glitch in the matrix. Olivia's lands matched.

[@34Vilend]

Olivia and I have so many of the same commanders. Love it and love her

[@codethulhu]

Taking out the poor monke first was a crime. It just wanted to study, rhystically, for pirate school

[@aidanschauer1581]

I love playing Ovika. Great showing

[@Soulcypher17]

That playmat is sweet!

[@thedevilcomes2011]

Thought my brand new screen was dying, then replayed the video and figured out it was just spell table glitching. Awesome Game tho!!!

[@chrisdixon7377]

Was amazonian drinking and playing magic? Thats what i call a good time.

[@lightfut]

I think I need to see Amy and Crim in a crime-off

[@jordanmartinez1003]

Yyyooooo!!! Cgb's sleeves are the business!!

[@FIddlertheleper]

Didn't CGB forget to add the damage from his commander during that last attack? I only saw him add up the total from the other 2 nazgul, or was it tapped before combat for some reason i missed?

[@BRAINSorBRAINS]

Amy's cat@53:57 ❤❤

[@NT_Escanor]

The silly joy Olivia feels playing this deck is everything I want people to get out of commander

[@frozentyphoon2049]

Drawing the cards gives you the cards

[@PaladinLostHour]

Izzet Spellslinger is so dumb that you can pick of 12 random commanders, and it really doesn't change things that much. ^_^

[@mandielyn0416]

Finally they brought MTG’s favorite son back!

[@bloomerdavid2046]

Amys cat is awesome...

[@thadrin]

I should try the Random commander thing with my izzet/Prismari deck. I only have 6 potential commanders in it though.

[@doctorisin7750]

Super excited to see Ovika she’s by far been my favorite commander since I saw her I love shocking people by have a token deck in Izzet colors

[@cpugwash7085]

Thanks for the entertainment!

[@jessejames5452]

Wouldn’t the ovika cast on the jeska’s will cost less because of the medallions?

[@theaeskey2502]

Another great game. Crime doing crime things and you love to see it.

[@lordsoth-en4nb]

Scraps made an appearance!

[@void91g]

Definitely looking forward to the new colorless commander 🎉

[@tomserdar412]

I love this game!!

[@fablerh2476]

Turns out 33 lands might not be enough ^^

[@Link71386]

12:28 Wait, not using them? I can't say I'm as kind. 👹 Anyway I can get one if they're just sitting and collecting dust? 😃

[@BenCragg1]

Yay! Lots of blue 🔵 💙

[@PhoenixInfeno]

Another great episode

[@Blackadam36]

Awesome game!

[@Mognet_t]

I love that Amy's brand has more and more become CRIME

[@christiankedenburg5489]

I love Eilidh Commander-Deck an the random cause.. thats fun bevor the game begin!❤😅

[@MagnificentX]

I love that twitter is in its death throws, I don't only hear things I like now.. it's the worst!

[@RonnocLoki]

The fact that Olivia won with only four life after grousing about potentially loosing by four life is great.

[@mightyone3737]

I try to have 'backup' Commanders for when my decks have objectively weaker Commanders, sometimes it's hard to find another that fits the deck's theme though. I have the same Rhystic Study as Amazonian, but I also don't use it atm, it's a really obnoxious card. I have 2 decks that could probably fit it in, both cEDHish decks. Whey protein isn't supposed to stink iirc?? I've had some weird proteins, but yeah, not stinky whey iirc? Pea protein smells weird I remember, soy smells vaguely unpleasant to me, but most are almost entirely bland more than anything, protein has very little flavor/smell without processing/adding carbs and fat in proper proportions. Also, if you put enough turmeric, black pepper, and cinnamon in your protein shake you can't tell if the whey smells weird I guess? Way to go Olivia, beating the dreaded CGB!

[@silverlos6082]

"Is this some sort of Tik Tok?" - Grandma Amy

[@coolguywithahat]

Amy AND CGB🤯🤯

[@jameslawson6729]

Hosses. Yes. I appreciate that comment.

[@Minedeleis]

That ending was so amazing. And gross. But mostly amazing.

[@jamespatterson5644]

Olivia should have swung with just enough goblins to leave CGB at 1 so he dies from his ring

[@Ev1lHaX0r]

I adore this game

[@Blackadam36]

1:04 in the nine mine

[@burningpapersun1]

this episode is full of war crimes

[@babulthegreat4834]

I will continue to watch and rewatch your episodes on repeat. But....maybe more community posts and polls could help with interactions?

[@EDHijinks]

Definitely on the to-do list! Thank you!

[@sirKonradical]

❤ great pod! ❤

[@dracul115]

Ovika eats lightning and craps goblins

[@EDHijinks]

Bahahahahaha 🤣

[@BeardODoom]

Ovika, goblin relocator
