The table: does anything Martin: So, you have chosen death

[@babassoonist557]

Ah yes sitting right before the player with counterspells, always a fun seat

[@hiddenleaf414]

Technically that is the best place to sit since they would have had to wait through 2 other players turns and not counter any of their spells.

[@treycuret]

@@hiddenleaf414 Not "technically" it just depends. The seat before the counterspell eats a lot of unnecessary removal. If the counterspell player has to decide between countering something or not using their mana for that cycle, sometimes they just let it rip and your Skyshroud Claim eats a Spell Pierce.

[@hiddenleaf414]

@@treycuret How does the seat before counterspell players eat a lot of removal?

[@Threadoflength]

@@hiddenleaf414 like he described....

[@DarkEinherjar]

Fun fact: even if Mana Clash deals lethal damage to one of the players, both of them have to keep going until they both get heads. The game won't check for SBAs until the spell is done. I would've laughed so hard if they both had been taken out by Mana Clash... 🤣

[@MTGMuddstah]

It would have been memorable, that's for sure!

[@TroochiTCG]

Now I understand why Martin usually gets hard targeted in most episodes you upload.

[@DarkEinherjar]

I understood the Mana Drain on the Sad Robot for that turn 3 Locust God, but that Arcane Denial on Extus? Either that was salt from previous games, or Martin felt like being a bully.

[@EtienneCitron]

Countering a commander is probably amongst the most ultimate feelbad plays you can do

[@chiflika9710]

no, the mana drain on the solemn saw mean. I have a rule that i will never counter a ramp spell in the early game

[@olafthemoose9413]

@@chiflika9710 I mean it was mean but it probably was the correct play

[@Nr4747]

@@chiflika9710 He probably mostly did it to get the 4 mana for his Locust God - it was also the last chance to "cash in" Mana Drain before his turn came back up. Generally speaking, I always play a ton of instant speed card draw in any of my decks that contain counterspells for that very reason: So I don't feel forced to counter something before my turn comes back around.

[@maximilianallen3132]

I cannot stress enough how ridiculous surviving Martin's double Mana Clash was

[@jordanjensen9739]

Max could've used Liquimetal Torque (One of my favorite cards to come from MH2) to turn non-artifact permanents like Rebbec into one thus saving them from interaction. I love how that deck looks. Might make one myself.

[@BloodLegaZ]

He tapped it for mana to cast mind stone. The ability is a tap ability so he couldn't activate it. I had thought of the exact same thing when I saw it happen.

[@jeffnorris211]

His omenkeel deck is top contender for my favorite on this channel.

[@Porygonal]

Looks like Martin is not going to be invited to the next pod…lol

[@Closer2Zero]

I fucking love mono blue vehicles. It’s such a fucking great but absurd deck

[@OwlishMale]

Martin seems like one of those players that falls into the sunk cost fallacy of "oh I held up mana for a counterspell so I HAVE to counter something or else it was a waste." So when no one casts anything worth countering they just counter whatever the player to their right (Andrew) casts regardless of how important it is to counter it. It sucks since all that removal is wasted and one person in particular gets fucked over for just coincidently sitting to the right of them. Edit: Though the mana drain does make sense for the turn 3 locust god, mana drain is a crazy card lol

[@damo9961]

Don't run lots of counters unless your deck functions at instant speed or unless they all cost

[@TheMartianBotanist]

Yeah, countering Solemn is never the move. Granted, they weren't exactly missing a counter for anything important either, so maybe they just didn't want to lose with answers in hand.

[@jthrone7768]

That turn two mana drain felt targeted 😂.

[@DarkEinherjar]

I thought the same at first, but then turn 3 Locust God happened.

[@metalord23.46]

Always love to see that omenkeel deck

[@gapeape3895]

ey yo, did you do something to martin? cause it seemed like he was just ognoring what was happening on Max's board in favor of countering your shit

[@dizzyspell8197]

Martin singe handedly reminded me of why i hate blue players lol

[@chiflika9710]

When the game started i was for him because i love coin flip decks, but after that mana drain he become the arch enemy for me. I didn't care who would win just not him

[@dizzyspell8197]

@@chiflika9710 ikr? No flame Martin, but countering literally everything that ONE player tries to play is just... not fun lol

Cosima / The Omenkeel is easily the most fun deck that I have ever made.

[@ajp3012]

Never seen a solemn countered before 😆

I've always thought that Cosima looked like an interesting commander, and now I get to see him in action! 😄

[@nwind9594]

Literally the most fun deck I have ever made. Would encourage it.

[@julienfrey8070]

Martins counterspells were really unnecessery and it didnt look like much fun for you. Why didn‘t he want you to play Magic with him?

[@TaylorKNelms]

Rules question: couldn't Liquimetal Torque save Ugin with Rebbec out, if it was made into an artifact? It would have had protection from 0 CMC thanks to the golem token, and wouldn't that have prevented the damage?

[@Khelso]

Yes, it could have. Even if Max controlled an Aritfact Land (Mana Value 0), turning any of his permanents into an Artifact would have saved it.

[@faerie7dragon]

After the third counterspell I was like: "Stop it! He is already dead!". Poor MTG Muddstah.

[@joemontondo9113]

I love the Boat Bash deck.

[@stevenguitink5947]

Ich Tekik registers all artifacts hitting the bin.

[@erniespratt1660]

3:50 "-But it bounces off the Locust God and Max passes" *Does not compute...* Am I the stupid? Inspector is a 5/4 and The Locust God is a 4/4... ?

[@MstrKipper]

Yeah honestly no idea what happened there

[@OGTahoe3]

I was very confused too

[@MTGMuddstah]

I think there was a miscalculation of power. Sorry!

[@aquablue3dsi]

That Locust god Mana drain synergy was almost scripted. Lugmoaw

[@ErikTheRedd1]

That was an awesome game. The selesnya artifacts deck was sweet

[@MrHeroZero7]

Uhhhh on T4 how does a 5/4 foundry inspector "bounce" with a 4/4 locust God? Both should die and Locus God returns to hand eot.

[@MTGMuddstah]

I think he miscalculated the power.

[@SShurricane96]

“I’m sure some people would’ve said to pass to Martin” NOPE. Totally understandable to kill him after those counters lol

[@mmogeek1]

No no no, there was never a line where you could wait and see if Martin had answers. I mean he countered you twice, he chose his demise.

[@gibbysg8143]

Wow counterspell tribal. Fun.

[@carlosespada6350]

If I were you, after that Solemn Simulacrum counter, I would have said to all players, ok, I will go for 3rd place, after I eliminate this guy 🤣

[@thebeat467]

Martin is an ass for countering that solemn 😂

[@nwind9594]

YES! More Cosima content!!!!!!

[@gdiridium5525]

the only reason i can think of martin targeting andrew so much is because the extus deck is able to go off if unanswered? either way it feels like martin brought a 9-power deck to a pod of 6s

[@adubiousnotion5118]

More like a 5 vs 3s. That Yusri wasn't doing anything high-powered.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Nah, the only high-powered thing on Martin's table was the Locust God.

[@bkchillingz]

I hope you get to play a game with the Extus deck again!

[@manuelbeltran3607]

Fun fact: when nick sacrificed Mind Stone, Max should’ve have put +1/+1 counters on Ich-Tekik and his golems, cause Ich-Tekik triggers whenever ANY artifact is put into a graveyard, not only his artifacts 😜

[@mikeoestreich3333]

Yes! Come here to say that. I think Ich-tekik is really good agains treasure decks

[@killerqueen9048]

i don’t know if i missed something but i thought that the omenkeel made it so you could play the lands not put them directly into play

[@sammysammyson]

At 3:48, wasn't the Inspector a 5/4? Why'd it bounce off the God?

yay i never been this early to a video. Great game

[@UnknowableSir]

Max’s deck is sweet and very unique, big fan

[@DarkEinherjar]

Max could've saved his Ugin if he had used Liquimetal Torque to turn Ugin into an artifact... because he controls an artifact token, Rebbec gives his artifacts protection from mana value 0 as well, so Ugin would be protected against the Locust God tokens.

[@caseywellington4761]

That's so cool!

[@BadCookies1234]

At the 6:28 mark, Andrew plays two lands on one turn. What gave him the ability to do that? Did I miss something?

[@jhammylive]

3/6 Demon?

[@BadCookies1234]

You guys are also misplaying The Omenkeel trigger. Omenkeel exiles equal to the damage dealt, but it doesnt put those lands into play. It says you can "play" those lands as long as they remain exiled. So you could use those lands as your land for turn, but you dont just drop those suckers on the table. Thats not how that works.

[@gapeape3895]

he had ghirapur orrery. lets him play two lands per turn

[@DarkEinherjar]

Oblivion Sower causes all exiled lands the opponents own to drop on the field under your control, not just the ones exiled by its own ability.

[@kenjitang1528]

I’m assuming, you’re talking about the instance at 10:30. What let’s Nick put all the lands exiles by the Omenkeel isn’t the omenkeel but rather the oblivion sower. Otherwise Nick has been using the omenkeel correctly.
