[@Felhate]

Dat salty yet smooth pass from Jasom at 3:25 was funny. Take your card you filthy gobbo!

[@TheNewOcMuse]

At this point, the next time the intro is updated the sound will just be MTG Muddstah saying "What the hell do you people want!?"

[@Avatarbee]

WE DON'T KNOW!!!

[@m.r.r.2636]

Well, the goblin laugh was a bit too high pitched and was kinda unsettling. Muddstah then inserted the "generic goblin noise" and later the strained and slightly condescending laugh of his own as a response to the complaints, doomed to annoy those same people more. I feel like Muddstah needs to take this intro in a different direction. The goblin animation without sound except the jingle is weird. The sounds used together with the animation so far have been either unsettling or just plain out of place. Either he should skip the animation and just have a still image like at 00:05 or a less moving animation (basically skipping the snickering/laughing) without sound as a "mascot" during his intro with the jingle could work out. If Muddstah wants to have an animation intro with sound, I suggest there needs to be some sound work to make the goblin less high pitched and jarring and in a more welcoming tone. Just my 2 cents.

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Morten R.R. Welcoming goblin... mindblown. It’s almost like goblins should be creepy/unsettling or something.

[@Avatarbee]

Super expensive altered mountains seem to be in fashion this game

[@Pestilence021]

When your expensive land base gets shut down by blood moon.... lol I could taste the salt, especially from jason when he flung his card to josh from the grenzo trigger.

[@NoBody-ro3xj]

This is why I play 5 non basic lands in my ghave deck and 15 mana type cards

[@fel_95]

300$ basic mountain

[@nathanielmatthias9360]

I know Im pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@trippdennis5773]

@Nathaniel Matthias Meh lately I've been using Flixportal. you can find it by googling:P -tripp

[@nathanielmatthias9360]

@Tripp Dennis Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!

[@pwpryan]

MTG Muddstah you should let your patreons submit sound bytes for the laughing goblin and do different ones all the time. That would be the most awesome pledge!!!

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'm working towards setting that up.

[@fiddlestyxify]

I do a good Salacious Crumb! :D

[@DeanJayJackmanJr]

I love your narration with the cheeky comments such as "plays an expensive mountain that looks an awful lot like a savannah". If you ever need a Slimefoot to make an appearance I'd be happy to come and play! =p

[@Customerbuilder]

A list of expensive Mountains: 5. Arabian Nights 4. Guru 3. Summer 2. Savannah 1.Gaea's Cradle

[@Kaiser-S0ul]

Great game, Josh pulled some real hate early. Side note the legendary demon with partner is Krav, not to be confused with the Ooze that ravaged Ravnica: Kraj.

[@mercystreetcjc]

What if the goblin giggle was from Evil Adam? just a thought.

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'm not sure the world is ready for that.

[@joaoleite9250]

KRAV NOT KRAJ

[@MTGMuddstah]

Ah dangit!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Game Knights yesterday, Muddstah now... it makes me happy enough to almost forget about the flooding in my apartment for a while.

[@MTGMuddstah]

=( Are you in the TO area? I know it got hit hard with rain.

[@DarkEinherjar]

I'm not from the US. The "flood" wasn't caused by rain, but by a clogged pipe that caused the water to go UP THE DRAIN. Basically, everytime someone did their laundry in the apartments above or below mine, their water would end up on my kitchen's floor.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Ick, that's no fun. By TO I meant Toronto. My grandmother and cousins live in that area and got hit by some wicked storms these last two days.

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Not often do you hear he drops a Bar the Door and takes X player out. That was some sweet buff action right there. The Mind Maze gets an extra large shout out from me for original use of Academy Rector.

[@fishfornicator]

The silence is infuriating

[@Thomeyis]

Those cards Grenzo exiles should be face-up, fyi

[@AffinityForCommander]

Fantastic game! Gotta love Arcades!

[@armoric]

Fwiw, Grenzo doesn't work like Praetor's Grasp or Gonti: cards are exiled face-up, and he only has until end of turn to cast them, so if he's out of mana it basically reads like Ingest.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good to know, thanks!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Seeing that Blood Moon makes me glad that I set for myself a rule of not having more than two colors in my decks, thus allowing me to run more basic lands. I've been having a lot less mana and/or color screw issues since then as well.

[@oom-3262]

ahhh the famous mountain dryad. Also, the black deck is so tribal spicy my tongue burns.

[@ryanhoover6240]

Those are some really expensive Mountains your friends play with there Muddstah!

[@MTGMuddstah]

Nothing but the best for my friends~

[@theronsmith3966]

At first I was angry that the goblin laugh went away... but then I realized how realistic this was. Goblins aren't real, so this is technically the most realistic laugh. *peacefully walks away* BRING BACK THE LAUGH YOU GODDAMN MADMAN!!!!! STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN YOU TO ETERNAL COMMANDER 2018 PRECONS YOU FIEND!!!!!!!!!!!

[@papamaples617]

I like it with just the music. Sorry your fans are so difficult. Appreciate you listening to us and trying things out

[@FEARFREAK42]

Muddstah's videos are definitely highlights of my week every week.

[@m.r.r.2636]

03:50 Is it just me or where does the third colorless cost reduction come from? 1 from the Warchief, 1 from the Jet Medallion. Also yeah, the cards exiled by Grenzo should be face-up, which is the general rule unless otherwise specified. 08:49 Tapping 5 for Sidisi whilst the Undead Warchief is on board... Someone is forgetting their cost reductions. XD 09:42 Threat assessment? Josh seems pretty beat by that point, basically reduced to top-deck mode, although he probably has the most expensive and competitive of the decks (maybe less expensive than Jason, that Gaea's Cradle). Eric is pretty telegraphed that he is in a pretty good spot. Having Privileged Position, the card advantage he was at and the Mind Cage would halt the creature swinging portion of the game to the point where only Eric would deal damage.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Warchief is 2 *EDIT* I am bad at numbers.

[@igorgrecia3915]

Morten is right, warchief only reduces by 1

[@MTGMuddstah]

You're both right. For some reason I was getting the +2/+1 confused with the reduction ability. My bad!

[@igorgrecia3915]

Btw, if I may ask, is there a big reason for you not to run Parallel Lives or Annointed Procession on your Trostani? Really liked the idea of a graveyard Trostani, and thanks for the great videos :)

[@ivellious209]

Blood moon plus arbor really makes me want a cycle. Of these mountain golem perhaps?

[@matiasgarcia8292]

GENERIC GOBLIN SOUND

[@Marionettetc]

Muddy, you should hold a fan contest for the replacement goblin noise! I want to submit an audio file so bad!

[@Ianoxen]

One of the best displays of Arcades' power!

[@amrshri1]

Holy crap...that Arcades beat down is beast mode

[@Jisabox]

Oh look its me!

[@voldemort008]

I enjoyed seeing Experiment Kraj, the Unredeemed being played.

[@DaRoblin]

For the intro, can you consider doing a different noise every episode? It'll be like the couch gags in Simpsons. One day he can make some gremlin noise and the next he can go "Quack!" The fun is never knowing what it'll be.

[@MTGMuddstah]

That may be something I work towards. Currently I've put it to my Patrons and other content creators to do guest spots.

[@lehandroz]

Wow! Arcades Value Town! But still, that Throne of the God-Pharaoh was still brutal! LOL

[@DarkEinherjar]

Killing everyone by pumping toughness... that, ladies and gentlemen, is called STYLE.

[@thalassaphobia2029]

What? What happened to the generic goblin sound?

[@dphinsfan6453]

Do you have decklists for these matches? I play Arcades as well and am always looking for new ideas, Nexus of Fate seems pretty awesome, never thought about that. Nice content!

[@MTGMuddstah]

All lists are in the description section of the video

[@xakuyer]

Altar and throne, so great together !

[@drvinylscratch1936]

That arcades win snipe was fun to watch. Also will a nheb deck win or just be annoying

[@Thomasva91]

About the intro, not sure if anyone suggested this but, skelletor's evil laugh? Or Dr Evil for that matter?

[@tcgbattlingmaster925]

He mentions taking ad blocker off but I've never seen an ad on any of his videos

[@MTGMuddstah]

I guess it doesn't always happen for everyone? I don't know the Magic behind KZbin haha.

[@YogurtBuah]

What is this card battle?? This is my first time seeing something like that,any movie of it or something?

[@Darksky1001able]

Muddstah, if i play Celestial Dawn in my esper deck while someone has Blood Moon on the field, will the effect of Celestial Dawn still take effect?

[@iPlayChessAndStratego]

"Plays a mountain thats been altered to look like gaea's cradle" XD

[@namename4903]

dang, another great video! keep up the great work

[@KT-dq6wv]

At 5:29, shouldn't Koth have given 5 red mana, because of blood moon?

[@Tobylovesmusick]

Great game!! The threat assessment may have been off. Haha. Seemed like 2 decks wanted to do too much to every player, lacking impactful plays against someone who gets ahead. Land flood, not fun.

[@PaulGaither]

If Dryad Arbor is changed into another basic land type (such as by Sea’s Claim), it continues to be a creature and a Dryad.(2011-09-22)

[@bromulrich483]

Dem fancy mountains...

[@acetales148]

can we get another conquer your commander? those videos are awesome i'd love to see on for one of the new commanders 2018 specifically Estrid please

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'm thinking about doing one once I'm back in NJ.

[@acetales148]

awesome, looking forword to it!

[@Youngblood2k300]

I want that spicy arcades list

[@liamsmith2183]

I need the Metal Gear playmat!

[@yoricktop8649]

Nice game, but why are grenzo's exiled cards all face down?

[@FrankChafe]

Okay you all need to learn a rule. Cards exiled are exiled face up, unless it specifically says exiled face down. PLEASE change this.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@orohyuno]

I believe you're using Altar of Brood wrong... It counts all other permanents under your control, so it mills when you play a land too. I saw you playing the land of the turn before the Altar twice here, and I think you didn't counted when playing further lands too~

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'd argue that it was more missing triggers (which I'm super good at, lol!)

[@Guyu]

Looks like Jason gave it his all.

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

Oh thank god! The “heh heh heh heh heh” intro was really disturbing!

[@ultiplayer1]

@6:28 if Jason had played his Overgrown Tomb before destroying Blood Moon, he would have saved 2 life.

[@P4r4k]

you gotta invite other youtubers to make the goblin laugh, that would be awesome every once in a while

[@octolirious5035]

What about card shuffling sounds in the intro?

[@Vervos]

At 8:50 Did you still pay 5 mana for Sidisi, Undead Vizier with your Undead Warchief in play?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I did..... I am not very good at math.

[@Vervos]

Happens to everyone! At least you went above and beyond what was necessary, rather than cheat and pay one less.

[@ianflannery4291]

*hears nexus of fate* *twitches*

[@Avatar178]

Am I the only one who liked the goblin laugh?

[@ssnow5516]

why aren't we seeing the grenzo cards. it doesn't say face down. kind of annoying

[@MTGMuddstah]

To make you all suffer! Also, we didn't really think about it. Someone else posted equally as upset, so I'll try to remember it moving forward.

[@berbergian]

Bring back the goblin cackle!

[@EDHCommander99]

The disappointment in your voice from your turn two warranted a comment. 01:35 Le sigh... "I play a swamp and pass"... 😓

[@hiimreyna]

Pick a sound, every video is like a roulette and I'm constantly stricken by fear and anxiety of what sound is to come. Muddstah pls, I fear for my life.

[@MTGMuddstah]

No!

[@hiimreyna]

D=< But the silence is deafening.

[@spiralhaze2070]

*GENERIC ZOMBIE NOISE*

[@ML7WL]

why after blood moon you continue to play your black spells unaffected?

[@charyou3167]

Bloodmoon only hits nonbasics

[@ML7WL]

oh ok, my mistake...I played alot against contamination these days xD

[@RealSnugh]

Why would he run coat of arms in that deck?

[@Zaalbarjedi]

Because half of his creatures are walls, no?

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Why did Jason have his shades on in the first place?

[@MTGMuddstah]

So he can "see the light that's right before my eyes"

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

@@MTGMuddstah Hahaha what?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I was trying to be clever. haha! It's a line from the Corey Hart song "Sunglasses at Night"

[@althgrea11]

I laughed outloud when i saw the counterspell hit ghave. It was gonna be nasty if he resolved

[@Nobodyragnarok]

That's Krav, not Kraj.

[@AndrewWoodford]

The intro should say bufufufu

[@VadenZen]

Called it :P

[@ModelHX]

Why did Jason bin his Chromatic Lantern?

[@m.r.r.2636]

Koth generated 5 mana - as the Strip Mine was a Mountain thanks to the Blood Moon. Used 4 of those to cast Candra, which generated 2 red, still 1 red floating from Koth and cast an X=2 Byforce, destroying both the Chromatic Lantern and the Jet Medallion. MTGMuddstah narrated that Koth only generated 4 mana, which leads to your question.

[@KoiPondDreams]

Damn Jason was salty there taking all that aggro. That's what happens when you play a well known deck with infinite combos, take it from a Gitrog player lmao it's hard out here for combo players

[@nkmason8284]

Yeah

[@thehitchickersbro1]

MTG, are you drunk? You said in description this features only black decks, with a Neheb in the video......

[@MTGMuddstah]

I did the audio for Monday's game and today's at the same time =( There was a bit of overlap in my mind....

[@thehitchickersbro1]

MTG Muddstah just busting, you’re content is stellar. Keep it up bro

[@MTGMuddstah]

Haha, no worries. I didn't take it negatively.

[@wadinatorthevile2805]

9:56 Kraj?

[@MTGMuddstah]

Yup. I dun goofed.

[@jthrone7768]

Evil Eric

[@kennythereaver1]

that felt like a real undeserved win. lol.

[@m.r.r.2636]

Why? There was a lack of threat assessment in the final stages of the game, but the Arcades deck had some unconventional combat tricks that lead to people thinking themselves clear while they weren't. Is killing through combat tricks undeserved? In that case people running Zurgo + Hatred to instantly take out a bloke is undeserving of that kill? The Arcades deck simply took advantage that all the other decks ran board wide player damage effects and that their individual threats were bigger/scarier than the Arcades deck. That no one came across any board wipes is just bad luck or a weakness for those decks. Jason almost killed himself with the Sylvan Library, being confident that he could regain that life. I think Eric did the most damage out of that game, dealing more than 50 damage. I don't feel like that is undeserving. There was some spot removal that seems to have been misplayed, the Steel Hellkite being Sword to Plowshares'd before dealing with Muddstah's (Jeremy's?) board is one of the major. Possibly a political move and Jason thought he needed the presence of Muddstah's board to avert focus away from him, but it seems like an unnecessary risk. Also having instant speed spot removal against an Arcades deck is a big deal - the Privileged Position dropped later would prevent people to effectively deal with Eric from that moment on but instant speed removal would slow Arcades' damage output down before the Privileged Position would be active.

[@kennythereaver1]

I would have to re-watch the video to actually post a valid point. I think what I was seeing was muddstah with the W and some how Eric pulled it out in the last two turns.

[@lmpaske]

Also cradle

[@AllHailBlobs]

Still miss the goblin generic laugh noise

[@Kaxxaa]

*no generic noises at all...*

[@aradshachar6866]

Yay... More arcades

[@jundsheep7599]

how you say krav bugs me. your saying kraj.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Yes. I did two narrations back to back, this one and Monday's game. There were more slip ups than I liked and I won't be doing it in the future again.

[@Devin-oh7gr]

Nice game, generic goblin noise in the intro or riot!

[@addambarcelos]

Arcades is really troublesome xD

[@PaulGaither]

I see all of these original dual lands, expensive mana rocks and tutors... and that Gisa deck really lacks any real juice. Look, if the owner wants zombie tribal, then I respect that. However, just because she makes zombies doesn't mean she should lead a tribal deck. Instead, she has been very good for me as the commander of a mono black good stuff/sacrifice for profit kind of a deck. When building the deck, it is important to have a real plan in place. Turns 1-3 should have a combination of utility, ramp, card draw and/or a fast tutor. Things like Expedition Map, Top, Sol Ring, Wayferer's Bauble, Hex Parasite, Relic of Progenitus, Nihil Spellbomb and so forth are all strong openers. Follow those up with a 2cmc mana rock, cheap card draw like Sign in Blood or Night's Whisper, Scroll Rack, Dark Confidant, Withered Wretch, or if you were lucky enough to hit Sol Ring or Mana Crypt then play a 4 drop, or if Mana Vault, then your commander. By turn 3 you should have 4 mana to continue the utility/ramp/draw plan. Sad robot, Liliana of the Dark Realms, Liliana's Shade, Crypt Ghast, Ancient Craving, a pair of 2 drops, whatever. At the end of the third turn you shpuld be ready to have 5 or more mana available, 6-8 cards in hand, and some utility in play to start turn 4. I like to use mass discard like Mind Twist, Wits End, Mayojin of Night's Reach and so forth as a way to set one or more players back so far that they almost have to quit. Leyline of the Void + Ill Gotten Gains are solid alone and dirty when paired. Board and hand control are often enough to slow things down until you can hit a combo, or just win with value.

[@nicholasberry8456]

Ghave got targeted so hard

[@lmpaske]

Jason's Savannah looks fake. Compare to Eric who has a real one. Fake is too saturated and text too black.

[@lmpaske]

And Bayou fake as well.
