I'd love to see the decklist for jespers deck!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Lesson of the day: don't use All is Dust against an opponent full of colorless equipment, especially if one of those equipment is Lightning Greaves. It won't end well for you.

[@JesperEjsing]

I can only say that All is Dust took care of a lot of my problems. And didn’t hurt me as much. The land that exiled graveyards on the other hand. Was bumming me out.

[@xrush3rx1]

@@JesperEjsing you got your list for this deck listed anywhere?

[@ItsMeBeeee]

A sad day for Vilis and therefore demons everywhere. Didn't impact gameplay, but the regeneration on Reki would have him tapped after damage. Great game!

[@tonyontilt3522]

7:38 you can't use Castle mana for non creature spells. That also means he would not have had the mana to regen Reki in combat

[@DarthAthar]

You can use the normal mana it makes for other stuff, just not the mana from the other activated ability.

[@MstrKipper]

​@@DarthAthar Muddstah said he "activated" it though, which meant he used its ability for mana. There was also only 4 mana tapped on screen, two forests and sol ring.

[@Googleflax]

That All is Dust just gave the game to Jesper; nearly all his permanents were colorless, plus he had Lightning Greaves out, so he could just replay his commanders on his turn and completely undo the All is Dust.

[@BirdCaramel]

I've never seen Jesper lose. Dude is merciless !

[@sofer2230]

His decks are consistently stronger, more staxy, and more combo-y than everyone else at the table's.

[@frycook6396]

Check out play to win. They are more on par with his decks.

[@armoric]

This channel has a notorious threat assessment issue, but Jesper simply has much stronger decks than other people consistently. Here, the bridge deck was slow, Reki was mono-green and thus very limited in its ability to interact, Andrew mulled to 5, and there was a t1 Sol Ring to help kickstart things.

[@JesperEjsing]

And I do a lot of politics behind the scenes that you guys never hear. But we do try and match power level very carefully.

[@BirdCaramel]

@@JesperEjsing love your art and watching you play! Cheers!

[@FFassassin71]

Finally, a Rograkh/Ardenn game on this channel! They're a ridiculously fun deck to play. The fact that not only can you stomp the rest of the quad with a Boros deck, but with a VOLTRON deck!

i dont think Jesper should have gotten the extra soilder token cause adam had the same amount of creatures not more?

[@nicholasfaulds2762]

That was supposed to trigger on adam's end step, when jesper had only one creature

[@paintingwithatwistphiladel2538]

@@nicholasfaulds2762 but he already added the token at the end of Mads turn giving him two creatures then at the end of adams turn it wouldn't have triggered since adam didnt have more creatures them him.

[@benyura]

Doesn't Jesper not get another round of priority to equip the lightning greaves after arden gets blown up since it was at the end of his main phase? Isn't it at a point of transition, where sorcery speed isn't available?

[@michaelmurphy275]

That’s what I’m wondering too

[@Zaalbarjedi]

Not really. Jesper passed prio in his main phase, wanting to enter combat. If he enters combat, Ardenn would trigger. Thus, in response, it was destroyed to prevent the trigger. This was done in the main phase, so Jesper has prio and can equip greaves. There is no such thing as "point of transition". You are either in main phase or in combat.

[@benyura]

[@zachpenrod8109]

Okay. Maybe I'm just not versed well in this. But once Jesper declared going to combat how was he able to go back and equip the beast token with the lightning greaves?

[@armoric]

He passed priority to move to combat. Mads casted Beast Within when they received priority during the second main phase. Had they waited for beginning of combat, Ardenn would have triggered, even if he was removed in response to it.

didnt know jesper could have geared up his token after beast within. if i am going to combat and there is a spell, once that resolves, how can still be in my main phase 1? :O

[@Agdur91]

If someone casts a spell before you move to combat you're technically still in the main phase, there's no 'between' state.

[@alessandrodellanno948]

@@Agdur91 thanks buddy:)

[@DarkEinherjar]

Here's what happened: Jesper passed prority so he could move to the main phase to the combat phase, then his opponent cast Beast Within. After it resolved, priority went back to Jesper, so he could gear up. The game can't move between phases and steps until all players have passed priority without doing anything, so it was still Jesper's main phase.

[@AviarkXIII]

@@alexobrien4240 yes, but then Ardenn's trigger would have gone on the stack, which is what he was trying to prevent by doing it at the end of Jesper's main phase

[@michaelrichards5253]

One day we'll get to see Andrew's deck go off. J/k I know there were a few times in recent history, maybe.

[@TheBalogna7]

I feel like targeting the Lightning Greaves instead of Ardenn with Beast Within would've been the better play from Mads. It would've kept you around one additional turn to maybe find interaction. At the very least it would've given Adam and Mads one additional turn where you soaked up damage from Jesper. Regardless, it was a fun game to watch.

[@xOptoger]

I think the Beast Within should have been casted in response to the Ardeen trigger, leaving no chance for an equipped swing to get through that turn. Also the one swing Mads sent at Andrew was kinda rude considering he was about to clear Jesper's board.

[@MstrKipper]

Hey Jesper, I've been thinking of making a higher power Boros deck, how are you liking Roger Ardenn? I'm thinking of making Jeska / Akiri for mine, feels like the commanders are more just powerhouses individually / together, and makes infinite mana an easy win condition.

[@JesperEjsing]

This Roger Ardenn deck is my way of trying to build a more fair deck when it comes to game play. I stayed out of infinite mana and heavy stax. I like to build decks that play differently every time and don’t just aim at wining the same way every time.

[@rhyuke]

I never understand the guys who focus one guy out of the game just to stretch the remainder of the game for like an hour

Is it just me or did Jesper forget like every helm of the host trigger?

[@JesperEjsing]

It doesnt trigger when Ardeen equips it since its not equiped in th ebeginning of the combat face as far as I know

[@fickett7870]

@@JesperEjsing that would be right

[@fickett7870]

@@JesperEjsing my bad entirely

[@DarkEinherjar]

Clarification about Beast Within and Jesper gearing up his token: When Jesper announced he was moving to combat, it means he was passing priority, still his main phase. Then Mads cast Beast Within, destroying Ardenn. After this, priority went back to Jesper, allowing him to gear up the beast token, because it was still his main phase. Every time a spell or ability goes to the stack or resolves, a new round of priority starts - the game can't move between phases and steps until all players have passed priority without doing anything and the stack is empty.

It's called player removal. Very effective when you don't want them to hurt your board state.

I thought the same thing in the moment. But the plays allowed him a bit of ramp and he still won so clearly not that big of a deal

[@JesperEjsing]

I did not miss it. I just wanted to gain more board presence rather than put all on roger and Arden right away. The 3 mana ramp is crazy good in this deck and since I run only 30 lands I need to take the ramp I can get. Also. The deck can be just as aggressive in one turn later with the build up rather than going for hurt the first round

@@JesperEjsing Yeah that was the safe play but imagine the look on there face when you can potentially kill one of them on turn three I would definitely craped my pants if I was on the receiveing end of that play also congrats your deck actually mad me want to play boros the deck looks spicy and I have a lot of the cards I need already in my collection I can't wait to build it and throw my playgroup for a loop I'm always a value combo with combat as backup right now I'm playing a lathrial voltron deck that dumps more bodies on the battlefield than a kranko deck and I run sword of parunes with a huge mana elf to get infinite untaps to kill my opponents by useing lathrials tap ability I'm also running a very rude brago deck that counters draws cards and returns stuff until I combo off for the win I am so run a cyclonic rift lock and Nexus of fate for a back up win condition

[@greatbrandini3967]

And this is why I've come to hate Arden as a commander. Getting taken out turn 3 by commander damage has only been surpassed by an extra turns deck that took 12 extra turns in terms of most frustrating things I've played against in Commander. Unban Golos, ban Arden

[@kingfuzzy2]

That's why I never use him as a partner just a creature I can randomly draw.

[@JesperEjsing]

I think if you play lots of spot removal you can easier keep opponents at bay. I am never relying only on Arden to equip but generally play very cheap equipment and equip cost and other ways of auto equipping so taht if people kill my Arden repeatedly, as in this game, I can still function and keep attacking.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Can confirm about cheap equipment.
