Giada vs Esix vs Koma vs Zurzoth | MTG Commander EDH Gameplay

[@QMTG]

Literally our LONGEST episode EVER. So do we play enough interaction? 😂 Let me know your thoughts on this episode and whether you prefer these long games or shorter ones lol

[@MTGMuddstah]

Is this the one that exploded your computer?

[@QMTG]

Lol yes it is

[@olafwulfgarson1224]

I actually think that too much interaction has prolonged this game. Several boardwipes, counterspells, a lot of spot removal has prevented sooner win IMO.

[@josepagan4889]

I think that 45 min is the sweet spot. 1 hour its ok. You guys know how to split time between intro gameplay and commentary. You guys are the best!

[@SpirkSpirk]

I personally enjoyed this game a lot. I prefer to watch a full fledged match where everyone is playing with full gears spinning. Short matches where someone runs away before other people can do much is just boring to me. Great video keep it up! Much love from Florida!

[@hansolo8080]

I love the fact that everyone in the playgroup brings a specific energy to the table. Also the Koma's Coil googley eye tokens are the bomb.

[@ProudLikaAGod]

Grateful to see Esmond play mono red in Mathew’s absence and also failing to draw land just like him 😂 GGs guys!🙌

[@QMTG]

Lol sad. But yeah gg in the end :)

[@SteakOSaurier]

You can tell Nash was a little bit nervous, but he did it so well! Was great to have him as a guest, bring him along more often in the future! 🤗😊

[@avatarofpapermagic]

Great game! Nash was a great guest and it was good to see Paul come out of his shell with some great banter. And Gabriel, you are truly the chosen one. Never was in doubt my friend 😂

[@CosmicGiggalo]

In all the quinessential commander videos I don't think I've seen Gabriel fight as hard as he did this game to win. My man's wanted it bad and it showed. XD Sweet decks, sweet game. Can't complain!

[@DragDsm]

This game was amazing! Those Koma coil tokens are great.

[@QMTG]

Lol yeah they were!

[@rgiublin]

Your videos are amazing, the power level is perfect and you guys are really funny and positive. Congratulations, you are my favorite MTG content in youtube!

[@QMTG]

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks again!

[@tim21087]

I definitely enjoyed the longer game! You all have so much fun even when the games go long like this! Keep up the great work!

[@QMTG]

Hahaha thanks! It was super tiring but worth it lol

[@TheStan690]

Awesome game!! Gabriel is definitely my favorite of you guys, he’s hilarious 🤣🤣

[@QMTG]

Lolol ok.

[@atc3072]

Gabriel will always be the Chosen One in my heart.

[@filipjakubovie831]

its just the lack of Myojins that is a little alarming

[@krysztovmucznik1765]

Still my favourite gameplay channel, another great game guys

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@aymanmz]

This episode was really cool but also exhausting to watch. Must've been even more exhausting to play with how each player was being a threat lol

[@chili9816]

Best game of Battle Cruiser i've seen in a while. Awesome video keep them cooming!

[@PubStompMTG]

Just discovered you guys. Can't believe I haven't seen you guys before! Gotta lot of videos to watch! Love the fun energy you guys bring!

[@QMTG]

Glad you're here!

[@dustinmoore2146]

I enjoyed this game a lot. Edmond I was glad to see you on Cardboard Commander with the Canadian boys by the way. I watch you guys, them, command zone, I hate your deck, table top jocks, EDH dragon, and probably any others that actually play through the whole game and don’t speed it up. Cause the banter and comments add to the video a lot for some good wholesome commander shenanigans.

[@bytosai2112]

Damn that was quite the game. Good job guys.

[@QMTG]

Thanks!!

[@pbhill8350]

Great game guys!,love to see Zurzoth in action.

[@QMTG]

Thanks! Yeah he was sweeet

[@davidsanchez-cv8zw]

Glad to see you guys back. I appreciate the content! Watching from Minnesota, United States.

[@jasonwoo1823]

Was such a blast to watch, as usual the simic decks were the largest threats throughout the game. But the monocoloured decks actually kept up to my surprise tbh.

[@ncuco]

"see you next time, if you are still alive" WELCOME! to the darkest EDH youtube channel xD

[@QMTG]

Lololol

[@MTG_Brewzl]

Zurzoth 🥰 Im super happy that my devil buddy showed up on this channel.

[@nicksternyr8728]

I believe a huge mistake was done on Esmonds part. He had a creature that does 1 damage anytime 1 of his creatures leaves the battlefield. Also a dwarth that makes the damage 3 per creature, and than he was given 5 tokens that died to pristine angel, shouldn't have Gabriel taken 15 damage and died.

[@djelloucent]

New sub, really enjoy the gameplay! Longer games around an hour are best.

[@QMTG]

Awesome, thank you!

[@avatarofpapermagic]

Loving the shirts lads, mine looks just as good 👍 Gabriel at the start giving himself a few slaps made me laugh, look forward to playing with you lads one day. Lots of love from this Aussie 🤙

[@Lyes669]

Mono white did really well and it seems Nash is another foil king just like Cassius Marsch 😂 Great work, i think currently you are one of the best commander shows!

[@QMTG]

Yes he is a foil king indeed. Thanks for the support!

[@backgroundcharacter7987]

This episode was all over the place and Gabriel despite not playing red was on fire, glad he won!

[@papaUrabrask]

I might be mistaken but because they resolve sequentially for sylvan offering wouldn't only the 7/7 be able to be Esix-ed into something else? That's the first instance of a token being made after all. Or does it need the bullet points to actually separate them for resolution purposes? Not sure. Either way, fun as hell game with interaction all over the place

[@isaacsmith3998]

I believe you're right, but he was playing Esix wrong earlier as well when he created a beast off of his second token creation of the turn. He probably thought it triggered every time you make a token on your turn and not just the first.

[@HPWolfgang]

Still, background Gabriel is the most fun thing in the world. Keep your spirit dude

[@permafrost2064]

This was a great game. Everyone had a chance to be way ahead and almost win the game then be knocked back down.

[@QMTG]

Lol yes indeed, it was epic

[@aurinko575]

I guess Esmond wanted to have the angelic arbiter around since he could've easily pinged it down alongside Bruna at around 31:00 after burning down the house :P no blame considering there were two simic decks that needed to be kept in control.. nice game, stuff was happening all the time so I didn't mind the length

[@QMTG]

Yep that was exactly what I thought

[@JhonFrancioli]

best gameplay on yt, thanks again for the content! Also, poor Koma.

[@QMTG]

Glad you enjoyed! Koma deserved it.

[@tedgop1932]

I never saw an esix deck rebuilding that fast!!! Gg guys

[@QMTG]

Yeah it was nuts! Gg indeed

[@DuneEcho]

@Paul, you keep making super bombastic lists that I love watching! You gave me a reason to put Verity Circle into my decks!

[@lazyliz7008]

Hey, It's Paul here. Appreciate the kind words! Koma might be the exception for verity circle though, i'm thinking maybe Gadwick can use it well too.

[@lorentz2372]

@@lazyliz7008 question, where did u take that t-shirt? It’s amazing xD

[@oscarperezcame]

what a funny game... the winning move was out of nowhere hahaha

[@casperpedersen223]

Good stuff. Sometimes games go long, but it can be interesting to see how someone gets in the win imo.

[@jembals10]

Nice game! Esix or really any simic token deck is really a hard one to deal with. They bounce back very easy after a board wipe everytime. Kudos to Paul! that spell swindle play out of nowhere. 👏👏👏👏

[@uchin1989]

This is a real Commander Game, only synergyes non combo and amazing end!!!

YEs

[@johnlayton5966]

So happy to see biovisionary! I have a biovisionary deck that uses nev as the commander, so much fun

[@dxdraiba7604]

Yup...thats exactly how it feels to play agianst an esix deck lol....and he wasnt doing any token doubling...

[@smitchy657]

I love this channel,. Always so much fun

[@QMTG]

Aww thanks

[@mikemartin9345]

I do love a good beat down.

[@sineadsuter9188]

[@MBGnome]

That was a really good game, plenty of interaction 👏

[@Georgematz]

Very good game guy's good job continue what are you doing.!!fun fact i think nash miss take life from fumigate...!!

[@mikailirwan3717]

This Nash guy is so cool love his foiled out deck

[@apollonu1799]

Gabriel..... You were at inifinite creautures...... With esix out and a gala greaters on the board you basically make a gala greaters in response to the tokens that come in every ones turn

[@QMTG]

Could you elaborate? Esix only works for the first token(s) that come in on his turn, and Gala Greeters needs a creature to ETB under his control in order to create a token.

[@santajose]

Great game, love your content

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@DeMenCianadia]

Loved the game. Koma is kind of oppresive haha. Ug in general, too

[@QMTG]

Yes indeed

[@gundambanshii9735]

I have actually been brewing a Koma deck as well, but I’m emphasizing changelings and any card that gives all creature types such as Maskwood Nexus and Arcane Adaptation. If Paul abused Maskwood along with Seedborn Muse to untap it at each upkeep, he would have been locking the game down. I will also use tribal lords like Ayula to make my Changeling Army gain some buffs.

[@nicksternyr8728]

Esmond really won that one, he just missed a few triggers and lost because of that. But Ioved the game!

[@ConsoleCleric]

The Chosen One does it again.

[@colink638]

lets see if the Chosen one can win this game

[@edwin.t]

This game was a lot of fun to watch!

[@Eduardo-tx6xf]

Was ezuris predation able to create copies of the angel, considering it has protection from all colors?

[@Muto-yo7vl]

What shirt is Paul wearing?

[@HydraQU33N]

Love seeing essix get there 😊

[@theearwyrm6105]

Bit of a misplay with Zurzoth. Each play would only draw one card and discard only one card.

[@MrReaperHand]

As much as I hate when a Koma deck pops off....I felt kinda sad for him. Also, prime example of why blue is at the top for most hated color.

[@Ranhert]

What a great game. My buddy has smacked me around with his Giada deck so it was fun to see her lose to ... Angels

[@QMTG]

Lolololol yeah it was ironic

[@1859ddd]

Poor mono white angels was mana flooded half the game and the other half was just getting stuffed lol. Giada didn’t even do anything the entire game. Normally in mono white angels you want to get Giada out early and snowball into bigger and bigger angels gaining copious amounts of life along the way.

[@Matutemorales123]

Epic game

[@QMTG]

Indeed

[@Matutemorales123]

[@gilbert2836]

Instead of pristine angel, why didn't Gabriel just copied the roastmaster and pin every opponent for 7x6=42 damage?😂

[@QMTG]

Was the Roastmaster out? He probably should have done that then

[@alessandrodellanno948]

Hi, just a cool thing:the mono angel commander name is pronounced like "JU" of just, it's not gHiada, but it's GIAda:)

Where's my boy Mathew?

He'll be back!

[@bryanlim9817]

You claim the camera from this company is good but the close ups are very grainy. At first, I thought it was youtube's fault.

[@QMTG]

My bad, I should be more specific. We are currently only using Blackmagic cameras for the 2 side cameras. The top-mounted camera which captures the table is not a Blackmagic camera.

[@im_spiffy]

WHERE IS THE DIVERSITY! WHY ARE THERE ONLY STRAIGHT MALES ON THIS SHOW!!! ;)

[@TempestTenor]

jee-AH-dah :P

[@NeroCM]

I honestly think some of these misplay are a bit... much. You should probably take some time to re-read cards to make sure of the effects. I've already seen one of your episodes where someone won because of a very obvious misplay. Hope this doesn't become a trend.

[@QMTG]

Yeah, it sucks for us too. We play with new cards in every episode, so there's bound to be mistakes. I've accepted that as long as we get 90-95% of them correct, it's good enough.

[@NeroCM]

@@QMTG Okay, this is just my opinion, but while it's true that on your average turn a simple misplay won't matter as much it's another matter when a misplay wins someone a game. In I think your latest episode a player kept adding +1/+1 to his creature with white spells... while the creature had protection from white. Seeing someone win by what is essentially cheating just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[@finfangfo0m]

Another great game, but...Nash can't pick Paul's Maskwood Nexus off the Druid of Purification. Artifacts and Enchantments Paul controls can't be picked.

[@ProudLikaAGod]

was Gabriels Druid, so it should work

[@finfangfo0m]

@@ProudLikaAGod My bad, thought it was Paul's

[@olafwulfgarson1224]

So many mistakes in this game. - Fumigate should have healed player for each creature destroyed - If I'm correct, Gabriel couldn't have created 7 witty roastmasters from Sylvan Offering, because FIRST he must create a 7/7 tree folk, that is the first time he creates tokens, and then he creates 7 elves (which will not trigger Esix anymore)

[@tidoboyo]

Is that sylvan offering bit right? I thought state-based actions were only checked after resolution, so esix would see all the token creation at once.

[@olafwulfgarson1224]

@@tidoboyo I checked this extensively when I built my Essix. And the answers were like I stated above. I was very dissapointed to be honest. Check mtg rules '608. Resolving Spells and Abilities.' Notably 608.2c and 608.2e

[@QMTG]

Maybe the editing was too fast, but we got the life gain from fumigate. But yeah the roastmaster was something we weren’t sure of and unfortunately got wrong
