Looking at the top 3 with a shuffle effect on board and still choosing to shuffle before you draw off that ponder was an oof. How bad were those topdecks?

[@ericks131]

“Unfortunately Mike brought a spoon to a knife fight.” omg, drag me

[@liamblood5239]

Guess you never played Knifey Spooney before

[@TheBalogna7]

Ah yes, the old "I have an onboard answer to Niv Mizzet (Ob Nixilis) but choose to let him live" mistake. Still, great content as always!

[@hedonology]

Copies of Red Elemental Blast keep the mode. If you counter a spell, so does the copy. This is true of all modal spells.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Ah! Good to know. I appreciate you pointing it out.

[@Jordan-ub5kw]

Beat me to it.

[@sephyrias883]

Mana Geyser really was the signiture card of this match. It got cast 3 times and the final one won the game, together with High Tide.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Not gonna lie: it's amusing to see the Jund deck countering almost as much as the blue decks. :D

[@darylchiu9030]

DarkEinherjar Trevor has brains as big as his biceps and bucks.

[@MiguelFernandez-ju4dp]

You have tymna in the img as commander haha

[@Kazz1187]

Miguel Fernández I did a double take with that too

[@buttergod42]

Miguel Fernández I saw him cast ikri and I was like, wait, where is the green.

[@alejocuruchet76]

hahaha same issue, i was waiting for mardu so jund kept me by surprise

[@pokefantrent2065]

Keep in mind niv triggers for everyone instant or sorcery cast even if it’s countered so that entire counter spell stack niv had a trigger

[@Punintentionally]

Excellent gameplay video, as always! One small nitpick: Trevor wouldn't have been able to destroy the Coastal Piracy with the Red Elemental Blast copy as the original was being used to counter a spell. Copies of spells have all the same modes of the original.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good catch! We'll make sure to watch for it in the future.

[@Punintentionally]

@@MTGMuddstah No worries. I don't know if it would have changed the outcome very much.

[@oom-3262]

Oh no, the original goblin noise is back. I thought it was a story that became a myth that became a legend... I'm SHAKING rn

[@tinywolf4568]

Thanks for the ideas Matt. I’ve got my own Niv Parun and I hadn’t thought of winds of change or turnabout

[@marcocapolli9482]

I don't think you can change the mode of a modal spell when you copy it.

[@ErikTheRedd1]

Came to comment this

[@valnyr4678]

Came to say the same thing.

[@DeanJayJackmanJr]

For a moment I thought this was my legendary Niv Mizzet game but nonetheless wasn't disappointed. Great spell slinging!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Yay, Dralnu is back!

[@crovax1375]

Niv-Mizzet storming off was pretty satisfying. My Niv-Mizzet build also loves to do that

[@nathones]

Trevor made a mistake. You can't change the mode when you copy a spell. He shouldn't have been able to destroy Coastal Piracy. "A copy of a modal spell or ability copies the mode(s) chosen for it. The controller of the copy can't choose a different mode. (See rule 706.10.)"

[@tmakalpha1]

Does the Parun deck also play extra turns? Because that's how you get to exploit Thousand Year Storm: taking 5 extra turns.

[@ryanduffy45]

Hey, man. I'm not sure if you noticed or not but for Trevor's deck on the upper right you have it down as a Tymna the weaver / vial smasher the fierce deck. I was all like: "what? How the hell does he.." when I saw all of the green mana on his side of the board. Haha. No worries though. just letting you know.

[@an_averagejoe7837]

You have Ikra in the title but you have Tymna in the thumbnail and in the video overlay.

[@bradenwiese9841]

Glad someone noticed

[@MTGMuddstah]

Fixing that now!

[@MTGMuddstah]

Fixed the thumbnail, I'd have to take the whole video down to change the overlay.... which I can't do because I deleted the original footage....

[@aethertech]

Turnabout is a messed up card. *(in the voice of LSV)*

[@ferretofdoomify]

for the side images of commanders you have tymna with vial smasher rather than ikra. you probably wont have to reupload though because i highly doubt anybody else will notice

[@andreasorphanou5469]

i just did but who cares

[@TechProducerOfPi]

As a fellow niv mizzet parun player, I’m happy to see some representation lol

[@BladedCreed]

For Trevers Partner deck, you don’t have the right image. You have tymna the weaver instead of Ikra

[@MTGMuddstah]

It's obviously my subconscious telling me that my Vial / Tymna deck is better than his Vial / Ikra deck.

[@susiron1449]

Psst. Mudstah. I think you used Tymna instead of Ikra under the LP

[@giannivood1043]

I'd really like to take a look at Trevor's list. His take on the spellslinger archetype is super duper sweet. Plus missing his biceps on camera ❤️

[@MTGMuddstah]

His list is in the video description if you're interested!

[@giannivood1043]

@@MTGMuddstah thanks, cant wait to build it myself

[@amethystwyvern]

Niv-Parun storm is so deadly, I love my deck. Copying windfall with Niv on board 7 times for the win is so satisfying

[@andreasorphanou5469]

Been a while since you've played Dralnu... Still cursed i see XD

[@smolclips5996]

Niv triggers on his natural draw as well as everyone's spells. Sometimes 1 damage is enough to swing a game but it didn't matter much here.

[@iandehmel]

I was SO confused, you were using the Vial Smasher||Tymna graphic, instead of Smasher||Ikra. Spent 2/3 of the game thinking, Where is this green mana coming from?!

[@DarkX64]

Okay Muddstah, I haven't seen anyone else make a mention of this, so I might be the first, but I'm really not a fan of you using songs you have used in prior episodes while just changing the key. As I don't upload myself, I'm not sure what if any constraints you are under as far as what music you use but just changing the key to make the same song seem different does miff me slightly. Let me be clear, I don't think it severely harms the end result here, I watch almost everything you do regardless. But it does kinda take me out of the moment of engaging in this video when I'm thinking "Oh, he changed the key on the Egmont/Danse Macabre, etc. again". I understand the idea is to instill variety and not just have us listen to the same song over and over and over and over and over. But I just wish you'd just go with the variety, get a bigger pool of songs to use. Maybe for the longer videos use two different ones. If you are open to it, maybe I could even offer some suggestions?

[@Slingming]

Is there any chance of getting an Oathbreaker game now that it’s starting to take off?

[@MTGMuddstah]

You'll want to check back on June 7th....

[@primovictorian]

I have to catch you next time you're in Jersey! Got some new decks your viewers haven't seen yet >.>

[@pedropaulofaria6126]

Trevor could not make the play in 7:05, if you copy a spell that has modes the copy goes to the stack as the same mode you've chosen. therefore it was illegal for him to blow up the costal piracy

[@SkullMaster1993]

Is this Niv-Mizzet, Pay-Rune from the new commander set?

[@TheShonsi]

No, it is from one of the most recent standard sets Guilds of Ravnica.

[@orsettomorbido]

Ahhh, a storm deck *_* Nice!

[@crimsontheone3649]

I love you man.. But that isnt ikra thats a pic of tynma next to vial lol

[@ishmaeelenous7310]

Cool seeing a similar version of niv. I usually win with rituals like mana geyser and brass bounty with thousand year storm and finish with expansion/explosion or mindmoil omniscience combo

[@JoshWilson-ol9dc]

[@MTGMuddstah]

I dun goofed.

[@r.a.w.780]

Pretty epic finisher 😁

[@IntegratorNivramgrate]

I think I need to ask how effective Dralnu is, as I've seen (nearly) all the commander videos from this channel so far but didn't really see it win? I'm assuming the win con is Torment/Exsanguinate?

[@09Dragonite]

I think it won a couple of games a while back, but I thought he tore it apart for a different Dimir commander deck. Dralnu is an interesting deck, and it's win condition was very unique the last time it won. But it rarely gets there, and more often than not kind of plays hard control that just ends up slowing a game down.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Dralnu is a combo deck primarily. Losing my mana rocks early on to the Vandalblast set me back from using Whir of Inventions to find Paradox Engine and go off.

[@ay0and0jay]

Do you get an email saying that I’m in the giveaway?

[@estebanortiz2623]

Dont wanna be that guy but you have tymna in place of ikra it confused the living heck out of me great game though!

[@MTGMuddstah]

Esteban ortiz Strange. I updated it this morning but it’s should be Ike’s now. Thanks for letting me know though!

[@calebbacci1742]

I’m sad we might never see Mike pop off with Mirko Vosk 😭

[@pennastar]

Wait how comes you have flooded strand in your Dimir deck!? Surely that’s against the rules or am I missing something?

[@aerosquid4732]

It’s technically a colorless card because there are no mana symbols on it. Lots of people run off color fetches

[@jackwick8466]

Mnenonic betrayal is excellent for ensuring the paradox engine loop can start up, but otherwise yeah i didnt like it much either

[@pablopisscaso9459]

You put tymna on there with vial smasher

[@armoric]

Wasn't Mike going to deck himself before he killed the table, though, since you collectively had more than 100 life? Unless he managed to get over 50 with Reservoir and nuked Trevor I guess.

[@PlotwistInc]

[@williamsexton1389]

I have to know When Matt went to resolve winds of change, and drew a billion cards, would he of milled himself out?

[@MTGMuddstah]

No. Part of the reason he used Winds of Change was because the spell has you shuffle your hand back into your library and draw that many. He would never draw more than he had in hand, and therefor never deck out.
