8:04 this gotta be one of the greatest Gishath hits ever, got three elder dinosaurs

[@InResponseEDH]

That was pretty epic. #ripETALI

[@SaikyoStudios6832]

dang Mike jumping the gun with t3 omniscience with nothing to do with it, its like he wanted to get smacked lol

[@InResponseEDH]

Even with out the Omniscience. I think he deserves to get smacked lol

[@bgeda]

The editing you put into this is REALLY impressive, easy sub from me. Thanks for the clean quality content

[@InResponseEDH]

Wow, thank you. I really appreciate the compliment

[@dantefabela7303]

Hating Mike out of the game for no reason while jace draws a billion cards and takes 50 extra turns...smart...threat assessment on point for sure

[@InResponseEDH]

No reason??? So you don’t think a turn 3 omniscience is a threat? Guess you gotta play against his deck or watch some of the other Atraxa games, where he just wins out of nowhere, to understand you dont let him set up.

[@chillinon3263]

@@InResponseEDH ​I feel like when Omniscience is sitting there just wiffing, it’s probably a better call to get rid of Consecrated Sphinx with Pyroblast and accept the risk of Mike maybe getting lucky. I get why Omniscience was targeted though, and we viewers have the benefit of seeing this game through the lens of editing so it jumps out as odd much easier.

[@InResponseEDH]

@@chillinon3263 totally understand that. I was also surprised Genesis didn’t target the Sphinx. After hearing mike say he didn’t have a counter for it.

[@santiagocanales3071]

I agree , they let Jose run with that game

[@santiagocanales3071]

@@chillinon3263 yes , especially since mike wasn’t doing anything with it

[@jc2544]

Sheeeeesh! This line up is crazy.

[@InResponseEDH]

Yeah hard to know which will win, since there’s no clear favorite

[@crazydeadperson]

I mean this in the best of ways this feels like a video from 2016 takes me back to the good times

[@InResponseEDH]

Awww yes the year I first discovered commander. I bought the Atraxa precon and then quit playing every other format

[@crazydeadperson]

@@InResponseEDH I started with the jeleva precon but kept with standard mostly until khans came out then switched to purely commander havent even thought about another format since

[@InResponseEDH]

@@crazydeadperson I did play standard for a little longer. I think I stopped around shadows over innistrad. But khans/BFZ was the best standard imo

[@Roguchii]

Great narration

[@InResponseEDH]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@covfefe5884]

Man I kinda wanted to see Mike play Magic.

[@brandyourfan9244]

Great content. The editing is on point. What editing software do you guys use?

[@InResponseEDH]

Thank you Brand. I use the free version of DaVinci Resolve.

[@godeckyourselfmtg]

Big hungry creatures! Oh my!

[@InResponseEDH]

By the looks of Jin's wrist I suspect they are anorexic. They might be the hungriest

[@CommandersConclave]

Another fun ass game. T3 Omniscience is a definite target producer.

[@InResponseEDH]

Right?! It definitely needed to be dealt with since we didn’t know what he may have had in hand.

[@CommandersConclave]

@@InResponseEDH definitely reminds me of the first race scene in The Fast and the Furious when Dom says, "Too soon Junior"... 😆

[@baylieproffitt6474]

Oh damn is there way to see the decklists of these decks?

[@yawgmoth55]

cool video

[@jrsxcase]

I love gishath, but man I can NEVER get it to pop off.

[@InResponseEDH]

I’ve been getting sort of lucky recently. It’s my daughters deck, but when she plays it she always hits 4-5 Dino’s off the top. I think she’s cheating 😂

[@makeththeman9519]

Game was awesome, but jin didn't do anything or even leave the command zone. Mono-blue power spells did everything so I wouldn't consider that a win for jin 😂

[@InResponseEDH]

You’re right! Gishath was completely robbed

[@homebreweddecktech]

Hellyeah!!!! Let's go jinny boy!!!

[@InResponseEDH]

No love for Albert and his Dino pals?! SMH I'll remember this Tony

[@freddymitchell7598]

Just curious, did Jose ever make a decklist? Thanks!

[@SteakOSaurier]

wohooo Dino-GANG! 🥳🦕

[@InResponseEDH]

This is my daughters deck but I love to play it. It's refreshing to just turn creatures sideways for a win. Unlike like my other decks

[@SteakOSaurier]

@@InResponseEDH absolutely! Sometimes you just want to relax, sit back and swing face :) i can imagine your daughter is super happy to have a DINO Deck of all decks☺

[@InResponseEDH]

@@SteakOSaurier she also plays Kozilek, Breya and Kathril. Only Breya plays any combos so she definitely likes to swing during combat

[@SteakOSaurier]

@@InResponseEDH That's super cool. Also making a giant Insect with so many keywords sure is fun for her i presume!

[@Garl_Vinland]

When you cast a damnation followed by a farewell on turn 4… yeah you’re getting archenemied

[@isaabd1334]

Lowkey felt bad for mike😂

[@InResponseEDH]

Why do people keep saying that 😂 He knew he painted a bullseye on his back. He probably should have held off on the omniscience until he found something to do with it

[@guzomex]

@@InResponseEDH sure but he did nothing with it, and even after removing the omni, he stayed the target with no threats

[@some_shitposting_idiot3023]

​@@guzomexpeople hyper focus because they lose the ability to threat access after something big happens I was playing a game yesterday and my kutzil got killed because it drew me 1 card. Which let one of the others just win because i couldn't bounce his entire field the next turn safely due to kutzil preventing spells being cast by opponents on my turn

[@lisaparker271]

LOL THAT SALT FROM A LEVELER WIN XD

[@InResponseEDH]

I knew it was coming. I hate losing to that combo

[@nickmitch1734]

Jose is definitely unable to feel emotions

[@InResponseEDH]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MrBkatt]

Definitely felt like extremely bad threat assessment, removing the Omni over the Sphinx. Sure Omni is an super powerful card, but the player had nothing going for him. It felt like they were more scared of what could maybe happen in a parallel universe, rather than what actually happened with the Sphinx in this. The wincon of the Jin deck was so boring and anticlimactic, I had hoped for the stompy dinosaur to run with it. And that's coming from another blue player ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@InResponseEDH]

That’s some great insight. I think the fact that we’ve seen mike snowball out of control with omniscience and very little before probably spooked Genesis a bit. Thank you for agreeing with me about the wincon. I will definitely be showing this comment to Jose 😂

[@cyborgtemplar1989]

@@InResponseEDH tbh, I'm hit or miss about wincons that happen out of nowhere. On one front, they're good when the person your playing against doesn't know the deck contains it. They will focus on the person who looks to have the scariest board or someone they know will run away with the game if given a little time. Essentially buying you enough time by not being the first person to take removal spells for your defensive structure. Which is exactly what happened here by focusing on the super friends to prevent them from building a board state as it's very known to snowball out of control if not held in check early. On the flip side: if they know you have it in your deck they will hold mana open or a removal spell or two specifically for it. Or they will focus you from the get go to remove the potential risk. Elves for example can win instantly if no instant speed artifact hate for staff of domination the moment anything taps for 5 mana or more. Which is very common for that deck to create. So whenever I play that deck, i'm never allowed to come near 5 mana production on one unit, or they will snipe any/all of them while holding an artifact hate in hand just for staff itself. But if talking pure fun factor and not considering the ability to win outright (assuming you aren't focused down for it's existance). it's definately not the most enjoyable way for a game to end. since it closes out pretty anti-climatically. However, if you remove that type of win-con as an option, then you almost remove 1-2 colors from even being playable at the table against decks of this power level. As it's one of their core methods of competing. So just rule 0 it, and say that it's fine just not to play every game. or they will get focused out of the game quickly.

[@brandyourfan9244]

Great game guys. Loved the interaction, but hated the ending. Two card combos are really anticlimactic.

[@InResponseEDH]

Agreed! I do run a couple in some decks like Heliod/Ballista and Even Splinter Twin but never feels good winning that way.

[@chubbyninja975]

Genesis not swinging with prosh with greaves is crazy. You’re playing Jund, do damage. lol

[@lokumo13]

saddest omniscience

[@InResponseEDH]

🤣🤣🤣

[@josephdoherty5403]

To each their own, but this is why I hate combo metas. Such an anticlimactic ending to an otherwise strong game

[@InResponseEDH]

Yeah I was a bit salty at the end of this one, cus I knew that was his wincon and hate losing to it

[@iangenuine]

I don't get why everyone wants to attack the atraxa player 🤷

[@InResponseEDH]

I think it's hard to understand certain plays or decisions on screen, without knowing the player personally. Mike is a pretty spikey player sometimes the worst thing you can do is give him room to breathe. If you do thats when he combos off on you.

[@orgazmo686971]

That Pyroblast was tilting. Easily the worst play of the game.

[@InResponseEDH]

I was a little surprised at the choice myself, but always happy to see Omniscience get taken off the board

[@mynt4033]

Omnicience is way more powerful than sphynx

[@orgazmo686971]

@@mynt4033 No it isn't. Go ahead and free cast...the zero cards in your hand, see if you win. Drawing half your deck on the other hand, that'll win you games.

[@InResponseEDH]

@@mynt4033 Totally agree, it is. I think it would have been correct to shoot the sphinx since Mike only had a couple cards in hand and none were counters or kill spells. Genesis didn't have all the information so getting Omniscience was a safe play.

[@mynt4033]

@@orgazmo686971 There is no way to tell what would have been in his had, or what he'd draw into. Pyroblast on omni was the right choice and most good players would have done the same. Plus creatures are always a lot easier to get rid of so you can always bank on it later. You only get so many opportunities to remove an enchantment as good as omniscience
