I was feeling bad for Folger until he almost had infinite mana

[@Quroe_]

Always assume a Hermit Druid deck is about to pop off at all times regardless of board state. As somebody who has played a Hermit Druid deck, you will tend to be hated out of the game at all times, regardless of if you're feeling like you're developed or not. It's a good surprise in one-off random match ups online on Spelltable, but in an LGS settings, 'your reputation will precede you'.

[@christopherfrawley2560]

He took a one land hand. He though he could fall into green at some point to use his hermit druid. It was not a good play on open and I'm sure he knew that.

[@themage1115]

@@christopherfrawley2560 While it is true that he kept a 1-lander he did have a brainstorm in his opener which usually should guarantee you find your 2nd land at which point he would have just been able to go off

[@christopherfrawley2560]

@@themage1115 yeah, I see where your going with that but he had to have known there was going to be some kind of interaction from the other players. I'm not saying he should have seen a blood moon coming or something equivalent but your safe bet is just more lands.

[@MindLaboratory]

@@christopherfrawley2560 I'm with @TheMage on this one - it was a calculated risk and a good one. Mulling away a 6 card hand that includes Hermit Druid just for a second land would have been much riskier.

This is the best EDH channel. I can't pin point what makes these guys the best.. You make minimal gameplay mistakes, narration is on point, it is always well explained, animation are decent and the games are fun since they are lots of time on stack and the viewer doesn't need to keep up with each players huge board, rarely games are arch enemy. You got sense of humour, too. And there is probably more, subconscious elements. PS: I always wondered, is one of the player narrating?

[@charlesmaillho367]

A persistent petitioners deck won on a cEDH channel. Maybe if the other 3 players weren't playing beat down on each other and Folger and instead took care of the threats on Reo's board there would be a different outcome.

[@bowtoyurking6657]

I would probably choose Ellis Norn, because it will very quickly threaten a win without having combo potential.

[@rangodash]

[@lorenzomichisanti1439]

Sorry, what happened with the Dockside Extortionist at 10.00 ? Why would Folger be able to have infinite mana? And why couldn't he? Sorry, lots of questions but I'm relatively new to the whole CEdH stuff😅😅

[@therealax6]

Dockside Extortionist is a 1/2, but with Elesh Norn on the battlefield giving it -2/-2, it becomes a -1/0. That means that it dies as a state-based action as soon as it hits the battlefield due to having zero toughness (but the ETB effect triggers anyway). With that board state, Dockside was creating 7 treasures on ETB (11 if the other treasures hadn't been sacrificed). If he had been allowed to create the 11 treasures even once, he could've sacrificed 5 to cast Kenrith, then 5 to activate Kenrith's last ability to bring back Dockside. Dockside would again die immediately (since it'd still be a -1/0 creature), but since it would create more than 5 treasures, it'd be possible to sacrifice 5 of them to repeat this all over, creating a loop and generating infinite treasures. Kenrith's other abilities allow using those treasures to win on the spot.

[@aidenwalsh4320]

Who would have known all these stax and taxes would slow a normally explosive game into a crawl to the finish? White isn't the color of removal, but it IS the color of balancing the playing field.

blazing volley in commander? is this a meta call or is the card specifically good in a spellslinger list like krark\sakashima?

[@blinky101]

Pyroclasm is definitely a strong card in cedh, so I can see a 1 mana version being useful as a specific meta call. It is definitely better in krark though, being able to get a couple copies makes it a 1 mana pyroclasm, and even if the first hit fails, its unlikely to cost more than three mana in total

[@Gorn350]

There is a chance of being more than 1 to each creature according to the Krark's ability

[@DarkEinherjar]

It's specific for this deck because of all the copying making it stronger. Creatures are usually smaller in cEDH.

@@blinky101 In Krarkashima, you don't want your board wipes to hit your own creatures, as your main engine is a couple of 2/2s.
