Armen went to Valuetown and never left damn

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

Tatyova is the mayor.

[@thedandygun7924]

I love Tatyova! She’s my favorite commander for that value!

[@RedLexLuthur]

First time I've ever seen some one cast a ghalta and then just sit there and not beat people to death with it, felt like they were allergic to attacking.

[@bre.resende]

I think this version of Ghalta is more combo focused, you can see she doing her shenanigans at Galina - Ghalta - Vaevictus - Atraxa || Akiri // Bruse - Xenagos - Olivia - Xenagos EDH / CMDR game

[@bre.resende]

Problably she picked Ghalta only to take value of Soul's Majesty

[@amethystwyvern]

Creeping towards 50k, keep it up, you’re the best EDH gameplay channel on KZbin.

StarCityGames' commander VS is much better in my opinion with player's interactions and comments.. as well as a point system.

I was hoping that the most powerful deck at the table didn't win, but c'est la vie

It's a juicy deck

Why is Pat playing at an angle compared to everyone else??? His playmats straight, he just felt the need to mess with the viewers? Lol

[@tonyontilt3522]

I can tell you have been watching Playing With Power mtg

[@MTGMuddstah]

It's hard not to be inspired by great content!

[@AffinityForCommander]

Tatyova is such a powerful commander considering that she is an uncommon!

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

I have a Tatyova deck and it's insane. I think I win about 75% of the time. It kills me that she costs a dime!

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

@hfzelman I've never played a Gitrog deck, so I don't know. I was actually buying cards to build one but then Tatyova came out and I put her in my Kruphix deck and she was so good that I converted that deck over. Gitrog is probably better. It was just easier to switch a deck I already had over instead of building a new one from scratch.

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

@hfzelman Same here. I have Zegana in my deck and she's incredible, too.

[@angelascholl611]

I think the main difference here is that Gitrog and Tatyova cater to different strategies, despite both having land-based synergies. They both are insane value engines, but Tatyova's access to blue leads her to a more controlling playstyle due to counterspells and increased interaction. On the other hand, Gitrog gets access to black, leading to a more focused and combo-oriented playstyle as tutors let you find the exact cards you need. If you want to go extremely fast, Gitrog tends to be better, but it you want to go long, it's hard to out-value Tatyova!

[@brandonguthrie8122]

Yo muddstah, just wanted to say thanks for the great content. keep it up!

Love that galta deck! I remember roxie played it last time and it was so fun to watch it go off ! I was rooting for them the whole time!

[@CeltiesSin]

The fact that this wasn’t a 3v1 from turn 2 bothers me >_> Armen had a massive board the entire game, while Andrew and Roxie over here swinging at each other like it’s not goin on Also just to be the dozenth player to say it, that rwby mat is nice x) everyone so serious lookin

[@Cole444Train]

That rwby playmat is beautiful.

[@forerealz]

Armen's choice of basic lands is highly appreciated.

[@IcedNeonFlames]

[@evafox9696]

Armen is a perfect example of why Mass Land Destruction should be publicly acceptable. One solid Armageddon and he would have been done for which 70% of his deck's lands in the GY.

[@AdmiralZev]

I'm a bit confused how Caged Sun randomly disappeared. But great game! Roxie's Mono Green Deck seems like it's pretty powerful if it gets going right. That Tatyova deck was....insane

[@slanglabadang]

It got capsized

Lol for digging for a counter spell for a spell that cannot be countered.

[@cooldes4593]

Which spell? Not saying youre wrong i just only remember reality shift, swords, and a counter

[@matiasrochaix2234]

@@cooldes4593 Taigam makes them uncounterable.

[@gustavouliana8535]

@@cooldes4593 Taigam prevents your sorc/instants from being countered.

[@ecos889]

@@cooldes4593 Swords cannot be countered because Taigam is on board. When taigam ojutai master in on the battlefield, instants, sorceries and dragons the controller casts cannot be countered. Even when he does not attack to get the rebound trigger he is pretty powerful because you have no answers of getting rid of a threat on board until you spend mana to get rid of him. Most games I win with this commander myself personally has been just with approach of the second sun. (Rebound does not mean you win by just casting it btw as it going on the seventh on deck takes priority over the rebound trigger.) But anyways, also his power comes in removing threats without having much worry about them being countered and attacking with him and getting the rebound for extra turn spells and spell recovery spells that don''t exile themselves. As once again the exile effect of the spell takes precidence over the rebound effect meaning your spell is not rebounded. Means you can do broken stuff with him. Provided you have the manas.

[@RomanNumerDos]

Can still be bounced

[@act1919]

Description usually contains the deck links. Taigam is sad face =(

[@radkid1110]

I like the music in this one. I know you've used the song in previous videos but I like that its pitched down so it's more background noise and it's slowed down so I'm not always feeling anxious

[@MTGMuddstah]

It's Egomont Overture!

[@guy_with_phone4466]

To play unesh right you need 1000 counter spells, 200 low cost mana sphinx bois, like an extra 81 draw effects and at least two ways to shuffle your graveyard back into your library

[@admanios]

Roxie has an amazing playmat and I love her manicure. :)

[@esperderek5383]

So. Are YOU fighting against a deck like that Tatyova deck in your meta? The deck that likes to have ten lands out by like turn five? Are you getting frustrated by that green/X deck that seems to have all the mana in the world for ridiculous things like repeated Buyback Capsizes or Eldrazi Titans? Tired of being run over by Omnath Elementals? Or do you just hate that Turn 1 Burgeoning or Exploration warping your game? I have the perfect card for you: Natural Balance, from Mirage block. Send that dude's land base back into the Stone Age while you buy favors from the other two players by ramping them. Satisfaction guaranteed. (Not guaranteed against Gitrog or Titania decks.) Graveyard Hate cards recommended for full and lasting satisfaction. (PS: Combine with Splendid Reclamation if you're the one in the Lands.dec)

[@mstolie2621]

Esper Derek thnx dude

[@Insharai]

As someone who just built a budget tatyova I'm not even against this. Perfect kind of answer!

[@Arcdemon44]

After seeing that amazing Tatyova deck, I think I am going to convert my Omnath Landfall deck into Tatyova and see what shenanigans occur.

[@IcedNeonFlames]

Dude, she's an absolute blast to play

[@nealtheNightmare]

Are there going to be more solitaire games like these?

[@adams333]

Well, I was not expecting anything less from Armen's deck. Not too sure why it was not 3 vs 1 from turn 2.

[@waldemarbarrientos3887]

Loving Roxie's playmat

[@SyckestBlah]

7:29 I haven't played Magic in some years now, but I remember vaguely that "As ~ enters the battlefield" is different from "When ~ enters the battlefield", in the sense that "As etb" can't be reacted to? It's the wording they use on clones and such, and Alhammarret is worded this way exactly to prevent spells played in response, is what I always thought. (Comp rules 614.1c states that "As ~ enters..." is a replacement ability, instead of a trigger, and replacements can't get reacted to.) In the end, in this scenario, it's trivial, because Armen could react to the casting of Alhammarret, but if the Sphinx were to be put onto the battlefield via, let's say Exhume or Eureka or some such, there is no getting around with "in response".

[@timothyklien4706]

Loving that Rwby playmat.

[@gilbertwalker8046]

Dang and that Ghalta was finally was about to go off the next turn

[@tonsofun1831]

Just made my own Tatyova deck....... Burgeoning on turn one makes you feel like you slap everyone else in the face lmao!!

[@geekmp3]

Lots of interaction this game! Super fun to watch!

[@IlluminatiHottie]

This was a fun game, lots of gas and interactive play from the start

[@joeltagert]

Said it before, I'll say it again: These lands decks are out of control.

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

Yeah, I switch my Kruphix deck to Tatyova when she came out and it was insane. I tuned it up for her and it got disgusting. I almost feel bad when I play it. Almost.

[@moritzk4795]

This is because Land destruction is so hated. I guess it's the land meta

[@jsum33]

That Tatyova deck was impressive.

[@federicoforgione]

That Tatyova deck was pretty sweet, and as a proud player of Simic decks in all formats, i'd like to suggest to try Vannifar as a commander for one of the next videos: if you like to win with style, elasticity and a bit of maths, that's the deck for you.

How consistently do you get the LabMan win? Other than an infinite loop that I have in the deck (Lab Man, Oboro, Sakura-Tribe Scout, Retreat To Coralhelm & Tatyova), I would have to normally do it the hard way i.e. draw my entire deck slowly.
