How to bring the fear of mono red storm to a table, brought to you by Birgi, God of Storytelling!

[@w4tch0ut10]

Also let's not forget to point out that there was zero blue interaction at this table 😅

[@sebastianbothe1228]

Against no blue, it is so ez

[@Vagrantlol]

always cool to see mono Red and White decks at a cEDH table. people talk about what's strongest and worth playing, but you can win in any individual game with almost anything.

Im really glad that we made sure we knew which sticker sheets were needed. Also, hornfel being used like that is nutso bonkers bananas.

As a Tayam player I got so hype by the play from Anthony. 😢 made me proud.

is having no Blue at the table as refreshing as it seems as a spectator? I mean I like to play blue, but it's really fun to see different solutions to problems.

[@ingolf82]

is the sticker thing random each game? I don't understand how that works.

[@switchback27]

The rules apparently are that you need to have 10 sticker sheets, then select three at random for each game.

5:30 why not attack first?

[@tqbrowne]

Doesn’t casting twin flame and dual caster mage make an infinite combo?

[@1h3artn1nj4s]

It does if the dualcaster mage doesn’t get removed. Because it was removed the combo stops.

[@MrUTPlayer]

This is why at least one person should play blue^^

[@Murkglow]

Or just instant speed interaction. Taking out the Birgi, Ogre, Reservoir, or Horn (or Tayam in game 3) in a lot of cases would have stopped them, it didn't have to be a counterspell.

[@generic3592]

Mind Goblin these nuts?

[@Player_not_found]

At 5:13, while it’s true Ephemerate can’t be cast because of Drannith, it should have remained in Exile, not been sent to the graveyard. Didn’t change anything here, thankfully…

[@bryanurbay1208]

A what goblin?

[@dizzyspell8197]

ITS TURN 2!!!!

[@leonardoherrera8908]

How can March of Other Wordly Light exile Dualcaster Mage if it's in the stack as a spell? It hasn't resolved, so it's not on the battlefield.

[@raedien]

They did not cast March in response to DCM. They cast March in response to DCM's EtB targeting Twinflame. March resolves. DCM is exiled. DCM's etb resolves, creating a copy of Twinflame, targeting Sentinel. TF copy resolves creating a hasty Sentinel. Original TF resolves creating another Hasty Sentinel. If you you don't cast March They make infinite DCMs.

[@vividplasma227]

Though a slightly better timing window could have been once the TF copy targeted Dualcaster mage, but while it’s on the stack. Exiling the Dualcaster mage then has the same effect, but denies an extra esper sentinel copy

[@Murkglow]

The Dualcaster has already "entered play" per the narration so it has resolved and is a creature, it's just the ability of Dualcaster (to copy a spell) that is still on the stack (which was what the visual was indicating), so the play was legal. That said it wasn't how you'd normally see it. He would usually have waited for the Dualcaster ability to resolve, copying the Twinflame (which would have almost certainly targeted Dualcaster), and then Marched the Dualcaster to fizzle the spell. This way however works if he wanted Ryan to copy more creatures to hit someone else with though, so it's not necessarily a wrong play.

[@Falilost]

The Wishclaw in Game 3 shouldn't have any counters due to Elesh Norn right?

[@switchback27]

Wishclaw entering the battlefield with counters isn't an ETB, so it isn't affected by Elesh Norn.

[@Falilost]

How is it not an ETB, when it says Enters the battlefield. Just asking for understanding?

[@DarkEinherjar]

@@Falilost If it doesn't say "when", "whenever" or "at", it's not a triggered ability.

[@MehrGills]

​@@Falilost Wishclaw reads: "enters the battlefield with" rather than the phrasing for an etb trigger of: "when(or whenever) x enters the battlefield, ..." Triggered abilities are always formatted with a "when"/"whenever"/"at" (per rule 603.1)

[@Weasels42]

@@Falilost "Enters with" is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. As @DarkEinherjar says, it would need to say "when ~ enters" to be a trigger.

[@MAISONMEISTER]

Birgi too strong... when nobody plays blue, hate blue all you want is the color that stops this chicanery.... and enables it too...

[@aninnocentbystander119]

With the failed Twinflame, Ryan could have made copies of Ragavan, netting 2 extra cards and treasures.

[@Dracomandriuthus]

Twin flame doesn't make no legendaries, correct?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Ragavan is legendary. They would've died immediately.

[@NubidiotDudeReatard2]

How did the Birgi player keep track of storm? that is something I always have trouble with

[@raedien]

For the sake of everyone's time I usually ask an opponent to track my life during an Ad Naus and another to track my storm count if I'm trying to "go off." I hand them one of those wheel trackers from the precons. Makes it pretty efficient.

[@Murkglow]

He was using dice. The top dice (from our perspective) was mana, the bottom (from our perspective) was storm.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Our storm token (with Noah's likeness), is used. It has the 5 colors of mana + grey in the middle for colorless. You can also track storm against it!
