TO THE TOP WITH YOU!

Beautiful

[@r.a.w.780]

Love it ❤️

top ten anime poems

[@Felhate]

Top 10 Anime Betrayals when Matt exchanged his life total with you after you used Constant Mists.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Is it really a betrayal when no deals were made in the first place?

[@DarkEinherjar]

Instead of "GENERIC GOBLIN NOISE", we now have "UNIQUE ANDREW NOISE"... I dig it.

[@VadenZen]

BEST OPENING EVER ......that laugh ......love this episodes

[@TheKingZero17]

"Mat sacrifices the children to gain 16 life." Sounds terrible out of context.

[@flaminggorilla909]

I am glad you keep the mistakes in. Keeps it real. Everybody makes rule mistakes in commander it is so freaking complicated. Your videos are great I recently discovered this channel and it has quickly become one of my favorites :D

[@MTGMuddstah]

It's all part of the game, and we try and use them as a learning experience. None of us are perfect so it can actually be good to learn from our mistakes. Plus, I would have SIGNIFICANTLY fewer choices to pick from games if I had to discard each game with a minor mistake in it lol.

[@jjjjrrrrmmmm123]

I have been waiting for that! i kept wondering if you were just going flat out laugh for the goblin as a quick jab at the goblin haters.

[@AffinityForCommander]

That goblins laugh is unnerving... 😛 Awesome game though!

[@Mekmassimochannel]

Hey the generic goblin noise is back and better than ever!

[@BrunoCasagrandaNeves]

Generic Andrew Noise FTW!!!

[@willemboele2079]

that intro is perfect

[@nathones]

Wait what? You save everyone's life and Mat repays you by taking your life total? That's whack!

[@MrGelflin]

wait....... just tymna???

[@MTGMuddstah]

I know, right?!

[@cloaking111]

MrGelflin so why not the other orzhov partner as well? I mean you might as well right?

[@cloaking111]

Ravos soultender right?

[@DarkEinherjar]

Yeah, I was also wondering why Ravos wasn't there... it can't be because he's running a low number of creatures, because the point of Tymna is to swing at your opponents with creatures in the first place. I liked his life shenanigans, though: it's VERY SCARY when someone has the ability to bring you from 40+ to single digits out of nowhere.

[@kyojitakenouchi9706]

Just proves that Tymna is one of the best partner commanders since you can build a deck with her by herself.

[@ss-tl1ic]

I love the constant change of the intro. That's all I come for is the intro!

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'm working towards letting my Patreons do one as long as it's appropriate.

[@afspeellijstnaruto]

Varolz is rly cool! It's quite easy to build around as well. put in some stuff to fill ur yard, and after that just make sure you have a big removal package. Cool ! :D

[@DEATHMETALRUST]

Whoa... Your chuckle might be the creepiest one yet. Hahaha love this channel!! Keep it up duder!!

[@DarkEinherjar]

I noticed some of you in the comments are wondering why Tymna was alone and not partnered with Ravos. I was wondering the same... until today. Today I did a field test with a Tymna + Ravos deck that I had built but not tested yet... in the end, Ravos never left the command zone, because: 1. One of my opponents had graveyard hate in the form of Crook of Condemnation, and I didn't put too many creatures in my graveyard to begin with; 2. I didn't have enough creatures on my field to make Ravos's pump effect relevant most of the time; 3. I had more efficient means of getting my creatures back (Beacon of Unrest, Sun Titan, etc.); 4. Even if I cast it, Ravos was probably going to eat a low-cost removal spell or activation before my next turn, which might as well be the same as getting countered. So, yeah... in the end, Ravos doesn't work as well with Tymna as I thought it would. That 5 CMC really hurts him, he's too frail and there are better ways to get creatures back. Tymna is fine on her own, and the only good use I see for Ravos in this partnership is to let Tymna go to the graveyard when she becomes too expensive to cast from the command zone, then use Ravos to get her into your hand.

[@Lucrios]

they mean theres no reason not to run him because it automatically removes 1 card (deck thinning) he never has to leave the field u just have a 1% chance higher at drawing the card u want. I know it's an old vid but just letting you know

[@rossf8616]

I love that we can hear the sarcasm in your laugh at the beginning.

[@ΣταμάτηςΜατσάγγος]

Nice video as always ! Small mistake in the opening hand you say temple of mystery but we see temple of the false god :) P.S. you are my new favorite mtg creator in youtube !

[@thecuetobrat7979]

Best FUCKING INTRO I don’t care if people already said this is true art and it needs to be appreciated

[@thelunchlady8276]

Man! I wanted to see the mad troll win! Nice to see someone else with a Varolz deck.

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Oooo that ad blocker dig. I can’t turn off what I don’t have.

[@2long2cat]

Hey back, welcome gang!

[@timbauros9606]

That laughter at the beggining of the vid 😂😂😂👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

I was going to make a Gitrog deck and was buying a bunch of "put additional lands into play" cards and then I got Tatyova for my Kruphix deck and thought I should try her out as a commander and stuck those cards into that deck. She's insane. I'm dropping three or four lands a turn and drawing three or four cards and gaining three or four life and then I draw more cards and make more mana and the next thing I know, I've got twenty or thirty cards in my hand and tons of mana to cast whatever I want and everyone else is at five or six lands and then I drop an Avenger of Zendikar and Rite of Replicate it before my turn starts and then drop a few lands and then play a Craterhoof on my turn and blast everyone for four or five hundred damage each. It's great. You should try her out.

[@joe-hd3uv]

Amazing intro and a great game despite the hiccups!

[@rafaelrsribeiro]

Hey Muddstah! Love your videos! Keep up the good work! I have a suggestion. Ask your friends to take notes of tutored cards with things like diabolic tutor so we can know which cards they got when you narrate the game!

[@MTGMuddstah]

That's a bit too much of a hassle. We tried it once and things got complicated.

[@xcver]

Vorel used on PLaneswalker tss tss tss...I would think that the player playing Vorel should know that this does not work

[@gustaferikmoland704]

Best edh channel 9/10

[@oom-3262]

I was gonna make a Varal Vorelz pun, but they all sound similar.

[@DarkEinherjar]

I really want you to give the goblin Kefka's 16-bit laugh, even if just once... :P

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'd get copystriked SO fast lol!

[@theobserver4848]

i was screaming when you saved mat. "WHY?!" lol

[@CheesyBrie13]

This video establishes why Vorel is silly with Liquemetal Coating (then you COULD target Vraska!)

[@MTGMuddstah]

Jamieson shall have to receive tutelage under your guidance.

[@xakuyer]

Sweet deck for tymna, this life manipulation deck, i like it

[@alberttsang1521]

Thanks for the promo code! I saved a couple bucks on my order to upgrade Scarab God and Brago! Much love as always and keep up the good work! Also if you wouldn't mind I would love to have a deck tech themed towards something like Clues.

[@ouimeta]

I think having the opening changing noise every week would be awesome and keep it interesting!

[@seanscott3459]

Bayou in ultra pro sleeves >:O

[@jordan8119]

I need to build a Gitrog deck. Black and Green are my two favorite colors.

[@dave7592]

Goblin laugh track I can die now. Thanks.

[@Eldrad235]

Matt's deck gets a slow clap from me Well freaking done I will say tho I'm surprised to not see as many new commanders after battlebond and m19

[@drvinylscratch1936]

The noise is an unexpected surprise but a welcome one.

[@kellyhoesing2573]

Goblin makes sounds, immersion restored.

[@m.r.r.2636]

2:06 That would be a Jungle Hollow

[@hungjury7482]

1. Not a foul orchard, but rather a Jungle Hollow 2. Wrong Temple in Vorel's opener 3. Why only Tymna?

[@hungjury7482]

Also the million mistakes you DID notice. After rewatching, Tymna looks like a version of Selenia.

[@MTGMuddstah]

I mean, a million might be an exaggeration. It's probably closer to 500k.

[@namename4903]

Another great video! keep up the great Work!

[@kend6916]

Great intro!

[@hstuken]

Halcyon is pronounced: "Hal-see-on"

[@JudgeLevel0]

Great video! Mat please put your Tymna decklist online! I really liked the synergies!

[@Cristian-gj7fg]

I have a Queen Marchesa life matters deck, with the same strategy that Mat Tymna deck... I love it. But once people know what the theme is, it's very difficult to make it work. And please Mat share your decklist!

[@MyNameIsTim1337]

Muddstah! You've done it! Your splash intro should be a different sound clip every time! Like the Simpsons couch gag! Do it!

[@theunstablecube]

When the laugh suddenly changes. [Confused Whiny]

[@cpudraner]

I love the new intro!

[@billyquade4625]

That Tymna was such a cool deck!

[@pbrown7501]

Is it just my speakers or are the "s" sounds in the video really harsh?

[@pedrohenriquearmiliato5658]

An interesting thought, Tymna is cool by herself but Mat had nothing to lose by parting her with Ravos, it's an extra card to use, or maybe a slow reanimator engine / a way to get more walue . . .

[@mateoelboliviano874]

you're absolutely right i just didn't think of adding Ravos with her i will probably add in the my next review of the deck

[@09Dragonite]

Tymna felt like it could've been more politically active as a deck but the way Mat played her made him seem more like a target than anything. The list was cool, but I've always found that the downfall of attacking people to make triggers happen like drawing cards or making tokens often turns you into a HUGE target at most tables. I play Tana, the Bloodsower as a commander with no partner. People are terrified when she lands one hit, let alone two or more. I think Tymna would've been killed several times in my playgroup before drawing any cards. It's tough to make commanders with no protection stick when they are so small and easily die in combat or to early spot removal- especially since they're actually really good when they land a hit.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Tymna has several advantages over Tana that more than justify it: she costs less mana, is in the colors that have both graveyard recursion and the means to protect her, and doesn't have to go to the front lines herself in order to benefit from her triggers (you can attack with a cheap flier and still draw your cards, leaving Tymna safe from harm).

[@Whistling_Kelp]

leaving Tymna safe from harm* (I suppose you meant)

[@DarkEinherjar]

Yeah, I got the names mixed up. My bad.

[@monkeynation9841]

Has mat ever put his decks online at all... I am so curious about his decks

[@Jmldy-yp6op]

Maybe someday I’ll see a game where everyone has a colorless edh deck

[@zaddyzathog4087]

id like to see that too, which is weird because i said that before to Mr.Muddstah

[@Jmldy-yp6op]

I just think it would be cool, you never really see a colorless edh deck and as an Ulamog pilot myself they’re pretty fun to play

[@zaddyzathog4087]

yeah, i am talking with Mr.Muddstah about it and it may happen i just have to build a Hope of Ghirapur deck

[@LaserfaceJones]

J4m41l4dy I play Karn, with a strict no Eldrazi or Eldrazi-related stuff build (the two wastes don't count shush). Everyone in my shop is somehow impressed I found enough colorless lands for the deck?

[@Jmldy-yp6op]

LaserfaceJones That’s pretty neat, I decided on Ulamog since Colorless doesn’t have a ton of spot removal and I like tribal based decks. I also use lands as extra answer cards to back me up

[@stevenyuskowski1383]

Love how it’s armen’s playmat

[@jrgenringgaard3950]

Holy shit, i freaking lost it after i heard the "goblin laugh" xD

[@nickfitzpatrick5878]

You need abundance in that gitrog deck because deciding your next draw is sooo good. Also the dredge land = you deck how your deck is ordered

[@KevinSilva-wv3yf]

What sleeves are Luc using?

[@rodrigocorreia2020]

At 0:52 its not a temple of Mystery , but instead a temple of false gods Anyway, another great video 👍

[@MTGMuddstah]

Yea, this is what happens when I name files too similarly, haha!

[@jakesword7669]

this game was the tits!! that BW life control deck was awesome

[@Fearthecow792]

Mat's deck is so spicy, please give us a decklist!

[@patrickschmidt6140]

I honestly preferred the creepy Goblin laugh. It was creepy but hilarious😂

[@danielvindhjarta2851]

Wait a minute.. at 3:35, did he use Evra's ability to exchange someone elses life total?

[@igorgrecia3915]

He switched his own life total with Evra's power, and once she hit, he gained the life back with Evra's Lifelink

[@BastionKid]

“Sol ring, which is kinda like a land” XD

[@mathewlong8401]

wait, mat drew on his first turn? even if he won the die roll?

[@kyojitakenouchi9706]

I have a Gitrog deck myself. It's my lands deck. I have 52 (ish?) Lands in mine. Do you know how many was in the one you played? I dont see the decklist?

[@MTGMuddstah]

It was definitely over forty from what I remember when tutoring. Mateo doesn't really put his lists online, but I'll try and bug him to do it tonight.

[@mateoelboliviano874]

if i remember correctly there is 42 lands in the deck ill put the list only soon!

[@fullfrontal2860]

You should try the joker laugh for the into.

[@jeanventura5366]

What happened with the creepy goblin laugh in the opening? ... I liked that one.

[@gunkfire1742]

yesss the laugh is back! well kinda.

[@Zaalbarjedi]

11:17 It does not work like that. You can't resolve trigger in the middle of resolving the ability. The right way is the following: Agent of Erebos is reanimated, then Mat mills, and only then you resolve trigger and exile Mat's graveyard.

[@mateoelboliviano874]

Hi here's the deck list, see you soon Muddstah! tappedout.net/mtg-decks/your-life-matters/?cb=1531549812

I find your deck very interesting. Thanks for sharing :)

*What a story mark, hahahaha noise *

[@clips4lyfe12]

Wow, Jamie’s keep was...very risky to say the least

[@zombieguy75]

i was just getting used to the goblin laugh lol

[@AidanWR]

2:12 That's a Jungle Hollow

[@Grimpo96]

I honestly prefer your laugh over the high pitched one

[@messypeter397]

While understandable its a shame the tymna decklist isnt available, it seems extremely fun

[@lachlanjones962]

Didn't you have Seedborn Muse as an out? You would have been able to use Soul Conduit.

[@MTGMuddstah]

There wasn't really a chance to do so. I could respond to the swap trigger on the stack, in which case I'd swap ahead of him to go to zero, or I could wait for the trigger and do it. I needed a way to give Mateo life =(

[@lachlanjones962]

Ahh... I see. Unfortunate =(

[@malkavian6275]

That tymna deck was very cool

[@admanios]

Halcyon is pronounced "Hal-SEE-on". Thumbs up for the intro laugh!

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good to know! I had a feeling I wasn't saying it correctly, but my recording window in Montreal is super limited lol.

[@FergyB20]

Please get matts list

[@CommanderMarcel]

Man I'm so glad I don't have to type mtgmuddstah in all caps at flipside gaming dot com anymore, now I can just type it normal.

[@jakesmith7842]

This makes me want to build tymna!!!

[@brianm5947]

Gitrog deck list?

[@Allaryc]

You should put fetchlands in your Gitrog deck

[@fishfornicator]

Aight fam I wanted the goblin snicker but I'll take that. A+ effort was good gave me a giggle B- for execution for you are not gobbo

[@Ryan-rt5bl]

Oh god... I think I want the old laugh back.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Hurtful.

[@arch4581]

Tymna deck list?

[@ErikTheRedd1]

When I saw the opening hands aaaaand looked at the viral hand "Oh so a three player game this time"

[@seanm4682]

Ach Hans run! It's the Crucible of Worlds!

[@TheM3talbeef]

Please get Matt to list out that deck!

[@felox95]

tymna deck list plsss

[@eusouzoom]

do Children of Korlis really gained Matt any life that turn? I thought that these life changes were translated in a way that the player whose life went up just gained life and vice versa...

[@MTGMuddstah]

Went followed what we thought was the correct ruling per the Gatherer rules: "The life you gain is based on the total of all changes where your life total went down during the turn, not the net downward change. So if you lose 5 life, gain 3 life, and then lose 2 more life before activating this ability, the ability causes you gain 7 life, not 4."

[@eusouzoom]

MTG Muddstah , I see, but the thing is Axis didn't cause him to lose life... Did he lost life in any other way I haven't seen? Thanks for the answer! I'll take the opportunity to congrats you for the excellent content! ,High quality stuff =)

[@MTGMuddstah]

The Axis didn't, but his use of Greed and the pain lands were what caused the life loss.

[@eusouzoom]

MTG Muddstah, yeah, i oversaw that...sometimes games get a little fast =) Thanks again!

[@eusouzoom]

There was moonlight bargain too! Didn't know that btw

[@FernandoRojas-py6fn]

please build a daxos the returned deck and show us how you build awesome decks! you can do it!

[@Drrgy]

Why did Jamie keep that hand? That hand is insanely bad and he got super lucky

[@austinplaisance4456]

I like how you saved Mat and then he instantly turns around and cucks you.
