Challenge the Stats EXTRAVAGANZA! | EDHRECast 200

[@therachelweeks]

Congratulations, guys! 200 is HUGE.

[@mathimus55]

Thanks friendo!

[@cassiemay2397]

I love that there’s a recommended translation for Matt’s comment

[@inamecomeunico8935]

I wanted to comment about your challenge the stats, beacause I'm a Pandemonium enjoier aswell, I play It in my Omnath Locus of Rage, and It Just does stupid things, even of I play It early without supprt, It helps slow the game since other players tend to use It to remove stuff instead of going face, and once I Have the angry jellybean up and running with landfall shenanigas It does looots of danages, Amazing card

[@richardpitt8177]

‘I mean, you’re playing Rakdos…live a little!’ I felt that in my chain-bound heart! Great suggestion and one I’ll definitely be adding to my deck!

[@claygillman9351]

I always love the "Challenge the Stats" portion of your shows. I truely see cards that I had never heard of. And that usually means that I can pick them up quickly before people realize how good they are. Congratulations on your 200 episodes. I think I have only been around for the last 50 or so, but I will have to go back and watch more.

[@dmajor9982]

I’m only a few months in collecting mtg. You guys have been a tremendous resource. Especially love the upping the average

[@CrabBaskets]

Congrats EDHRECast on the 200th Episode! Absolutely wonderful episode!

[@CrabBaskets]

I love Simulacrum and how weird of a card it is. When I read the oracle text, my though is to cast this when you have a Brash Taunter or Stuffy Doll in play, and you just reverse the damage you took that turn to another player!

[@ginatruiolo]

Awesomeness!!!!! Congratulations on 200 episodes! You guys are wicked awesome, thank you🤓😎

[@bryankopkin6869]

Congrats on episode 200!!! So glad ive been able to watch you guys bc yall have been an amazing resource.

[@Shadow298]

Huge congratulations on reaching 200 episodes. Thank you to the hosts, editors & the EDHrec team for their hard work and dedication.

[@cinderheart2720]

Holy smokes have I been waiting for an episode like this.

[@Gshadewolf14]

Congrats on 200 episodes! You guys are my favorite EDH KZbin channel, I keep telling everyone I play with about you guys! Keep up the good work!

[@tresnalder2149]

Congrats on 200, guys. Keep up the good work!

[@Nachocheese7896]

Congrats on 200! Thoroughly enjoyed everything you guys have been doing, and can't wait to see more in the future!

[@daem0nfaust]

I love you, guys. Congrats! To be honest, yours is the only non-gameplay content that I continue to consistently watch. I never tire of each episode. I do often miss the twitch streams, though. But I try haha

[@elfriedaarts1195]

Woo! I've been looking forward to an episode like this. Congrats on episode 200!

[@Torsav]

Congrats guys and everyone else involved in keeping this going. Always looking forward to this on Fridays.

[@emerson685]

Love all the recommendations! I just want to say that Reap is great! It may just be my pod, but I've never had it be a dead card, and I play it alot. Anything that counts on opponents either playing black or blue is almost guaranteed good.

[@BFG93]

Its here! 200! Big woopwoop! And also super awesome feature length challenge yeyurh

[@commongentleman529]

Thanks for everything, you've given me 20+ years of knowledge in only a year of watching these and the challenge the stats are the absolute cherry. Keep up with the great content guys 👌

[@gemmintmtg4267]

Great show guys, always wanted to have a show all about challenge the stats! Its the best part of every show!

[@azazelmorningstar5631]

I just want to say i love how cheerful and happy you were this episode it really made be as cheerful and made my day better thank you

[@BrodyTwice]

[@aglett]

Congrats on 200 Joey Matt and Dana!! EDHREC cast is favorite MTG show!!!

[@piralos1329]

Holy wow I never thought Outside Xtra would get a shout out on this show!! Congrats on 200 episodes, here's to at least 200 more!! Excellent challenges all around, thank you for helping to educate and continuing to spread the love for this incredible game!

[@mathimus55]

Those folks are far and away my favorite gaming channels. Always fun to see others appreciate them.

[@curiouschao1]

Congratulations on 200! Love this podcast. Such great content @Matt, I just built Ghen Sagas (was sleeving it when I saw new selesnaya sagas commander, kinda made me mad at the time lol) he’s still in early stages and I need to slot my new kamigawa sagas for some of the ones I jammed in there to give a shot.

[@MrMalorian]

Congratulations guys! I can't remember when I started listening, but once I did I was hooked :)

[@IsraelGarcia-ij3io]

congrats on 200 guys! Pariah/Pariah's shield on a brash taunter with lifelink is one of my win cons in my firesong and Sunspeaker deck

[@simplyyunak3189]

Congrats to 200 Episodes. Looking forward to number 300!

[@rillysilly4456]

Congratulations! By far my favorite podcast!

[@TheSassaboss]

Comment for the algorithm you guys are the best!!

[@mfitkin]

“I actually don’t know how old you are” 😂

[@logosdad]

Yay 200! Always my favorite listen and Dana in particular has helped my Moxfield wishlist get WAY to long...congrats guys!

[@kingfuzzy2]

Yep him and cureforthecommongame are great inspirations for johneys everywhere.

[@TrueTgirl]

The outside Xtra and Xbox shoutouts coming out of nowhere was a very confusing yet pleasant surprise. XD congrats and thank you for all of the spicy picks for decks, among other things!

[@dapperghastmeowregard]

Oh man, one of my favorite Magic moments was playing my Pandemonium deck (back when 60 card Magic was a thing) in a four player game and somehow winning.

[@sleighte]

I have just begun but I am very excited for a big ol honey glazed slab of challenge the stats. Congrats on 200!

[@DumbSoulss]

I didn't realize that I have been watching you for over a whole year now! Congrats on 200!

[@blakem000]

I LOVE THIS EP! Challenge the stats is my fav part of the show, and so many gems found. Thank you!

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

Never thought I’d hear you guys shout out OutsideXbox!! How cool! Also Challenge the Stats is my favorite thing so I’m so happy that you guys chose to celebrate 200 episodes with an entire episode of challenge the stats!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@thomasstenson7989]

Thank you Guys! You've given me so many ideas😊😊

[@metalb0087]

Congratulations on 200 dolmen gate!!! Been running it in my ruxa deck since it was build!

[@krazykilper]

Challenge the stats is definitely my favorite part o the show!

[@jamescooley5241]

Cant wait to spend 200 more hours with you guys!

[@KidAlphaMax]

Congratulation on making it to 200! Love the episode easily one of the best!

[@watapon3415]

Congratulations friends, favourite edh content by far.

[@peshy6912]

Episode number 200, yay! Looking forward to the next 200 and the ones after that!

[@scottcampbell9515]

Congratulations on episode 200!!!

[@patrickbartholomay6513]

Congrats on 200

[@happybrain2674]

congrats! lets celebrate together this episode and a lot more in the future :)

[@Echidna797]

Loving every single RPDR reference Joey makes!

[@OGTahoe3]

Just last episode I was thinking about all your challenges being put together.

[@PrimeEnLightenedShadow]

Tbh, I was expecting the whole episode to celebrate with a bunch of NEW Challenge the Stats, but I'm still happy with the result.

[@commanderpower99]

Daaaaaamn 200!!!

[@kingfuzzy2]

Oh equal treatment is such a good card I play it in 4 of my decks.

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

Dolmen gate with the new isshin two heavens as one comander seems pretty sweet

[@kingfuzzy2]

It's such a broken card aggro and attack trigger commanders should run it more often.

[@jacquesdespadas]

My Challenge the Stats entry is: Joey Shultz needs to run Basandra, Battle Seraph in more of his decks if he wants to shut down all these combat tricks coming his way. Congrats on 200 episodes!

[@danacoleman4007]

nice!!! congratulations!!!!!

[@yatzeenotsee]

Here's a thought: Play stuffy Doll Choose self Equip Pariah/Pariah's Shield Give Stuffy Doll lifelink Play Aetherflux Reservoir take any damage. The damage is redirected to Stuffy Doll Stuffy Doll Deals that damage to you The damage is redirected to Stuffy Doll The damage source is Stuffy Doll, triggering lifelink The damage continuously hits Stuffy Doll, and copies towards you but the copied damage is redirected to Stuffy Doll. Infinite lifegain loop Interrupt the loop with Aeitherflux Reservoir Win gooder. Did I do it right? I'm not that well-versed with the fine rules of intricate combos, loops, and lasers.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Big congrats on 200 ( :

[@filipporicciarelli5726]

Congratulazioni! 😎😎😎

[@jkattack2640]

The thing with windfall in yidris is twofold: 1. The best 0 drop to cascade into is wheel of fate so youre incentivized to put synergies with that in, and 2. Windfall effects a cheap source of big draw for an unpredictable deck full of many individually powerful cards

[@lysolboss]

Absolutely ecstatic to see this drop in my sub box

[@RedCometNurse]

It's funny that Dana mentions the Mall of America because I literally just went there and walked past the Build-A-Bear Workshop shortly before watching this!

[@fatbosa]

love you guys! keep up the good content!!

[@VexylObby]

Equal Treatment is SO good in Jared Carthalion with Pyrohemia effects!

[@markc6571]

Congrats on 200 episodes of Dad Jokes!!

[@davidengkent7756]

Awww, congrats on hitting the big 200!

[@deedietrich-muller1061]

Only 2 seconds in and had to throw a like. Great idea for your 200th. Congrats

[@darbymckilkannoncaid3279]

Congratulations!

[@jeremy.oliver]

Keep watch, I'm still gonna advocate the card. Deserves to be a staple for certain playgroups

[@PawzBrownMTG]

CONGRATS TO DANA, JOEY, & MATT you gotta are so great keep up the Pawzitive vibes 🙌 👏

[@freshie1621]

🥳 bicentennial!

[@Zo3yX]

I have reap in my lord windgrace deck, and im about to cut it my playgroup has almost no decks with black bedsides a couple 5c decks. I think ive only been able to cast reap once and it was only for 2 cards

[@burningpapersun1]

I love Ghost Town. It was something I remember playing in the 90s.

[@sabrina_thelich6088]

My yidris deck was a disgusting monster of a deck that used extra turns and wheels to go off with storm cards. The wheels definitely helped there 😅

[@nickknock556]

Definitely run Pandemonium in my First Sliver Food Chain. The look people have when they realize I'm not cascading, just bouncing Squee for game is great.

[@hi5996]

Congrats

[@claytronifon]

Imagine Equal Treatment with a juicy Rakdos Charm, sounds fun

[@VexylObby]

I have my card wishlist ready at the trigger.

[@fro5235]

There is at least one act of treason style card that works with Obeka. Slave of Bolas has a delayed trigger that sacrifices the stolen creature at end of turn.

[@fro5235]

@@beurtalvarez close, but no cigar, i'm afraid. Angrath the Flame-chained -3 ability is a full-blown 'until end of turn' act of treason. it does have a part that Obeka can influence, as it sacrifices the stolen creature at beginning of end step if it was cmc 3 or less. if you stop that, the rest of the ability will still hand it back to the owner.

[@fro5235]

@@beurtalvarez no worries. There's a reason be spent a good portion of the Obeka upping the average episode discussing the kinds of things the don't work for her. I'm sure there's others out there. Gods know they surprise me with a card I either didn't know or forgot existed every new episode. Half the fun, really.

[@SWNJim]

I put Simulacrum in my Licia, Sanguine Tribune deck. I tap lands that hurt me, cast Simulacrum, gain a bunch of life and get to cast Licia multiple times as I sac her for value. Once I used it to target Licia with the damage portion. I was able to cast her three times in that one turn.

[@psychozen7169]

It been 200 wow time flies.

[@zackkelley2940]

Found a spicy combo I think you'll like. Well Joey probably won't like it. Matt and Dana will though. Cast Rest in Peace and then enchant yourself with Wheel of Sun and Moon. Everyone's graveyard gets exiled, but YOURS gets cycled back into your deck.^^

[@BFG93]

Can atest to Mask of Griselbrand. I once swung in for 11 with daegomath titan, gain 11, then sacrificed to Jarad golgari litch, burning for 11, drawing 11 (paying nothing in end). Took few games with Jarad before they realised its concern even just sitting there.

[@ClawDragoon]

you guys rock!

[@hanschristopherson8056]

I play reap in every green deck and it’s always insane

[@Zo3yX]

If you have stuffy doll name yourself and play pariah onto it. Does that then end the game in a draw since the dmg would never go thru?

[@feltyone]

E-stats-aganza? GGs on 200!

[@Dannymiles1987]

I run equal treatment in my Liesa Shroud of dusk deck. As a combat trick and defense. Also if someone swings the commander I help 🤣

[@mikemanard3847]

If the creature(s) aren't attacking you, may as well cast Entrapment Maneuver after combat damage has been dealt. 😉

[@mathimus55]

Timing, as always, is everything. Good call.

[@austinsmith1421]

if both of "souls fire" targets where zada. wouldnt that still work? because it has two targets but still only targets zada? granted it would cost you your commander.

[@Yayotay]

Is that Gavin next to Eladamri ?

[@Neuverfleischer]

Sees Ghost Town...looks at Moraug...fine, you gotta buy what you gotta buy

[@bradleyemery]

In defense of the Yidris players out there, I personally feel that wheels are a great resource, as they let you refill your hand to keep cascading. You don't even care if you're refilling your opponents' hands, as there's precious little to interact with at this point. Even if Yidris leaves, your spells still gain cascade, and even if any given spell is countered, your trigger still goes off

[@ApexZer0]

What lays on the bottom of the ocean and shakes?? A nervous wreck

[@dustinchang5089]

How can I join this “old man club” of MTG?

[@jacobisaacs4160]

I think with dubious challenge the opponent can technically fail to find on purpose even if there is one right?

[@mn6334]

They can't fail to find since there's no searching involved. You choose two creatures out of the top ten and they *may* choose to put one on the battlefield under their control. The issue is if they don't choose one you just get both anyway since after they make their decision it tells you to put the rest on the battlefield under your control.

[@JCesarSoS]

Guys, let me challenge one the challenges? Telim Tor's Edict is great in Zada! I know it exiles all of my own creatures, but that is a perfect counter effect for a board wipe (something that usually happens when I'm about to win but have to wait a full rotation). Sure, I'll lose my board, but at least I'll be able to draw a lot too. Btw, congrats for the 200th episode. Love you guys!
