GREEN means GO in Commander | Gishath VS Bristly Bill VS Kamahl/Jeska VS Jolene

[@lynnhavard3684]

I’m glad to see Eliot getting new cards from the most recent set, Beta, on the channel. It’s great for the community to see these cards in action with how fast WoTC pushes these sets out.

[@jamesgorospe990]

Grossest gishath flip I've ever seen

[@balluhouston4385]

love Jim and Alex making literal "youtube thumbnail face" unironically in this game

[@shaden489]

whats funny to me is if eliot had resolved the etali trigger first he would of gotten to cast zacamma for free and untapped all his lands which is really fucking gross

[@Thisnameisnottakenjk]

Hindsight is 20/20 and I think resolving the Pantlaza trigger first is likely usually better.

[@cobaltbeau]

@@Thisnameisnottakenjknah, Stalin first is better. If any of the etali spells have >7 toughness, you also get to have a bigger discover too (pantlaza doesn’t make you choose whether your discover is happening or not until it resolves)

[@marcup1584]

@shaden489 this is not right. Gishath PUTS the creatures in play, you do not get to CAST them, so Zacama does not get its trigger to untap lands.

[@ewanbryant8116]

​@marcup1584 Gishath put Etali in play, Etali's ETB casts cards, if he had resolved Etali first he would have CAST Zacama and untapped his lands

[@joelmartinez7994]

I think the bigest hit i did with Gishath is doubling her power with Skullspore nexus + Roaming throne on field, doing 2 triggers of 14 and getting 21 dinos from it, Vengeful raptor being 1 of them and then using Blasphemous act to deal more than 500 face direct damage with Raptors hability doubled by roaming, now my playgroup is scared of dinos.

[@tomdoetsch8603]

I would really love to see the spikes get someone from the burrito restaurant to come play commander with them, even if that means teaching one of them to play.

[@draciel117]

Seeing Gishath played anywhere other than my own playgroup always makes me smile. Also, 6 out of 7 hits on a Gishath trigger is such a dream to see happen!

[@anactualdino]

Oh wow I'm excited for a really chill casual EDH game! I'm so looking forward to a totally normally paced game of Elder Dragon Highlander that moves at a normal speed!

[@Ymirism]

I built my Gishath deck with Kaheera as Companion both as a deckbuilding restriction and to improve the gishath hits and boy howdy does it ever work. Bonus points for reacting to the gishath trigger with a congregation at dawn to really hammer home that dino goes rawr

[@Soulryu11]

Same, i built the deck with Kaheera so that I can only be restricted to dinosaurs. Although I have added a single cat, and debating on a second with bloomburrow.

[@Attilathefun87]

Been thinking about doing that with my pantlaza deck.

[@phyrexia4ever]

I'm thinking in doing that too but the problem with only dinos is you cannot play Paleontologist. With that you can play dinos fron exile plus is mana dork. Things like that y'know. Maybe I should try with only dinos and see what's next

[@madih.5263]

i just join the discussion for "dino player who want to play rp restrective deck". But if the fact about playing just with dino could be difficult think about a build with dinosaur + jurrasic parc related + only ixalan dino tamer in it and aztec stuff. If that allow you to find more room or flexibility. Or just play human or card who had a name about palento stuff related or archeologic one. I started to put passionate archeologist enchantement i pantlaza especialy for this kind of aspect.

[@heykak]

as some who plays "gruul dump deck storm" on arena, seeing Alex' deck fills me with joy. *EDIT* It did until elliot dumped his deck all over the battlefield

[@damiens_hair]

6:15 ... a surprisingly good impression

[@mutzy42069]

10:25 the timing of that was perfect 🤣

[@connorl0204]

31:37 Speaking of making 8 4/4s, last night i was privileged enough to cast entreat the angels for its miracle cost for the first time in my life. Only x=4 because thats all the mana i had, but i did have a giada and several other angels (including sephara skys blade) in play so they were still pretty scary.

[@PDTkenny232]

This is the perfect example of why my rule with Gishath is never allowed to attack when I play against it.

[@alexmcgregor8658]

Like this comment to make the 15:24 face

[@aeorling]

Finding your comment down here every video is like getting to play Where's Waldo. I look for it every time. Thanks for being groovy!

[@TheDanieljl]

well idk if it's better than a gishath 6 dino flip but i did have an Etali Primal Conqueror flip into a Zenagos God of Revels, Worldspine Wurm, and an Old Gnawbone

[@gjones9356]

I see you editor with the determinism joke at the beginning.

[@falandfriends4760]

My best Gishath moment was hitting with a double striking (Boros charm) 8 power gishath with a roaming throne in play. Getting 4 triggers (first strike, normal damage, then again because of roaming throne) of 8 each almost decked me when I hit earthshaker dreadmaw (dinosaur that draws for every dinosaur you control when ETB) on my last trigger of 8 cards. I drew 36 (18x2 because of roaming throne) cards after we’d been in the game for a while. Everyone at the table lamented getting rid of my great henge because it absolutely would have decked me.

[@Rococorico]

Usually I only hit the Like button as I finish the video but this time the deck intros were enough.

[@Rococorico]

O MY GOD

[@jamescoles1415]

Im confused, pantlaza doesnt have trample couldnt alex have blocked to survive?

[@Soulryu11]

I don't run my Gishath with as many dinosaurs as Elliot does, but my best hit with Gishath was Zacama, Pantalza, Elati, Vaultborn Tyrant, and Apex Alitsaur. Pantlaza trigger found Temple Altisaur which let my Apex Altisaur go wild and kill everything that I saw to be a threat.

[@liquidpebbles7475]

Do you think that deck is too op? Thinking of proxying it but this was so nasty i dont want to bw that guy at the table lol

[@Soulryu11]

@@liquidpebbles7475 nah it’s not over powered. Yea the deck can have strong hits, but it’s a gamble. Your commander is 8 mana, so you need to get there before your opponents all pop off as you need to hit a player. Then you have to hope there’s zero interaction if you decide to play him shields down.

[@liquidpebbles7475]

​@@Soulryu11thanks! It's dinosaur time then

[@KnucklesGum]

I play Gishath too, and I hit absolute gold at Magic Con Amsterdam, I hit a Pantlaza, Tyrannax Rex, Verdant Sun's Avatar, Apex Altisaur and a Temple Altisaur. It was only 5 hits, but it resulted in a Pantlaza triggering for 10 due to Apex, untapping all my lands from Zacama, gaining 31 life total and wiping most of the table with 9 fights with Apex Altisaur. I spent most of the game being in awe of the insane value my little dino buddy gave me.

[@madih.5263]

the simple joy of gisath player> Who care about winning ? or board wipe> We juste need to reveal and put more than 3 dino on a gisath swing for being happy

[@connorl0204]

The can labeled Namesake next to Jim, what is it? Energy drink? Craft brewski? Artisanal soda? Something else?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Beer! This one is a pineapple session pale ale.

[@TheGrifcannon22]

What a game! Elliot definitely living the dream, probably could've put Final Fortune in the deck with the way that turn went.

[@qut0n]

Does flipping the table against that dino bs count for my best flip?

[@josiahsantos6286]

That's the best flip I've ever seen a gisgath deck do.🎉🎉🎉🎉 my friend had one a long time ago, but the dinosaur deck back then out paced quickly

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I love that Nature's Lore from portal! I remember teaching one of my friends Magic with portal :D

[@SamErvin]

I have a Gishath deck with the very same art! I've never had Eliot's luck, but I've gotten Verdant Sun's Avatar + Temple Altisaur + some other big dino, which made me pretty hard to kill.

[@joshuacarder5690]

This episode is *hilarious.*

[@Halinn]

The double strike math to kill the table was well done

[@kfunky209]

This episode had definite Big Timmy Energy

[@loganator326]

That's the kind of gishath game that you always dream of as a gishath player. Just flip into the absolute craziest stuff possible and push yourself into victory

[@IOSARBX]

The Spike Feeders, I subbed to your channel!

[@putctfuoncf3592]

Gisath trigger into Etali, Primal Conqueror, Etali's trigger topdecking my Zacama, triggering Zacama's ability, untapping all my lands. Next turn was transforming Etali into the Primal Sickness and running everyone over 🤣

[@Regisauris]

Grossest Gishath trigger I had was a double strike Gishath into wrathful Raptors, Pantlaza, Ravenous Tyranosaur, verdant sun's avatar and territorial hammerskull. The return rate wasn't a high, but boy did that game change after that flip.

[@PasDeMD]

Honestly I know this was an unusually good showing for Gishath, it's also why I kinda dislike playing against Gishath. Esp because the guy at my LGS who runs it gets all pissy when you remove it.

[@burningpapersun1]

Elliott was living the dream, L I V I N'

[@kylecarson3318]

I’ve never seen anything like that. Absolutely fantastic

[@thedevilcomes2011]

Not quite better flip wise but I managed to do 96 reflected damage post combat off a top deck Chandra's Ignition pointed at a 16/16 Quartzwood Crasher Dino Token with Wrathful Raptors in play [barely upgraded pantlaza precon]

[@thedevilcomes2011]

(winning the game)

[@kstandish42]

Bristly Bill deck jokes because Bill, built it, they are LANDING 😂

[@tommytrex29]

watching this a little late but Gishath is my main deck and i run quite a bit of stuff to either control the top of my deck or to increase Gishath's attack power, so I've had some pretty insane flips, like hitting 10 dinos out of 14 cards and I can say that there's no better feeling than that! Normally I'm the target from the get go, so it's not always that the deck gets to shine but it's fun to see people panic even without anything threatening on the board

[@Riflain]

Best Gishath trigger i’ve had: my board was Sunfrill Imitator (as a copy of Gishath), Kaheera (buffing Gishath to 8 power), Swooping Pteradon. Attacking a player for the full 8 damage. Revealing 6 hits out of 8 cards: Apex Altisaur, Bonehoard Dracosaur, Vaultborn Tyrant, Zetalpa, Ghalta Stampede Tyrant and Ghalta and Mavren. Zetalpa and Bonehoard Dracosaur triggering Swooping Pteradon twice. I was very happy, the table was not.

[@nikolardorafiki]

I cast a turn 4 Gishath off of Winter's Night in a 3-player game, so it didn't even matter that I hit the nonbo of Rampaging Ferocidon and Verdant Sun's Avatar - one opponent couldn't keep a blocker on the board and lost to commander damage turn 6, and my other opponent scooped to the rest of the damage they were taking from all the dinosaurs I put in for free.

[@MisterWebb]

8:41 The Japanese word for Forest is “mori”

[@thedevilcomes2011]

Intro was on point :)

[@sebastianbustos-smith5338]

Where's the CEDH videos? I miss them

[@avelchong]

My main deck is a Gishath deck. I haven't hit that much of a value, my most was 5 out of 7, also there was no Pantlaza and Etali 2.0 yet when my memorable experience happened. During my deck's earlier iteration, I hit only three dinosaurs, but it's all three dino avatars (Burning Sun's Avatar, Verdant Sun's Avatar, Wakening Sun's Avatars), not too flashy but in my mind Gishath called on them specifically.

[@doomlock6673]

I don't remember my exact flips, but I used to run Gishath with a lot of double strike effects, and I would flip some crazy stuff off of the 14 cards. Sometimes it was more if Gishath was pumped.

[@cassweatherwax9559]

this is why you can never trust gishath lol. it only takes one swing. always, always prioritize gishash blockers or removal, its an inherently high power commander, it will always utterly distort games if you don't play around it lol.

[@Tirantekk]

Wouldn’t you have had the colors you needed for the Fiery Emancipation if you would have gotten the treasure when you were supposed to in your attack phase?

[@lledy]

Nice shirt from Alex this week!

[@BarelyFrench]

When I played Gishath, I flipped a Verdant Sun’s Avatar and I’d say about 7ish other dinos (I had doubled Gishath’s power with Xenagos) and gained a ton of life from all the big booty dinos etbing

[@hanahomemadepizza1424]

It wasn't a gishath flip, but I've flipped etali into another etali, a clone spell, and a random card I forgot.

[@Aldrnari956]

I got a buddy with a Gishass deck. I’m not surprised at all by that crazy turn.

[@CookiesFTA]

I doubt I've ever beaten that mana value or power total with Gishath, but I run it on Arena and have once had an amazing go with it. I had both Etalis in hand, got both mono green Ghaltas off the Gishath, two small dinos (the deck isn't great, so there's lots of 2-4 mana uncommons from Ixalan), and whiffed the rest. Needless to say, the other guy conceded before it had all finished hitting the table.

[@Thisnameisnottakenjk]

That was the Gishath trigger of dreams right there. Holy shit.

[@toms1782]

Random question on the Gamesgenic clear case. I’ve had the boulder clear one, how does it compare?

[@Peter80345]

My best flip was not as good as Elliot's but I also hit the newer Etali along with Goring Ceratops and 3 other largeish dinos that I can't remember the name of but the next turn was insane

[@denaxil9012]

I haven't played gishath before but the most insane "flip" I ever had was when I played Lathril, someone played Chaos Warp on my Lathril and I flipped into staff of domination when I had a priest of titania and a bunch of elves. so I went from "gonna make 4 tokens this turn" to winning lol.

[@rkk667]

Eliot does the mana usually work well enough with so many 5+ hits in the deck?

[@raptorbazzooka]

my best gishat flip was both the etali and ghalta primal hunger and ghalta stampede tyrant ( and this ghalta trigger on nothing cause did have no dinos in hand) but still XD

[@DirtySnowman439]

2 or 3 dinos tops on my flips, problem is i have too much ramp in my deck

[@curtislegall8324]

Never seen a Gishath flip like that! INSANE!!!

[@nathanielreichley4640]

That Gishath deck kicked ass - 6/7 is fantastic!

[@philipblades3213]

Wow! Think I need a Dino deck for sure now.

[@johnlahr3773]

please make a short of elliots flip - that was awesome

[@Chaoslorden]

It's like sneezing out dinosaurs these days! So much free stuff!

[@Seelkaboom]

My best flip from gishath was when it hit with the great hedge dropped 3 dinos one of which was gahlta stampede tyrant drew 3 cards then spewed 3 more Dino’s one of which was earthshaker dreadnaw and drew more cards.

[@lostlyric5548]

My best dinosaur flip was thanks to monstrous vortex during an etali cast

[@madih.5263]

Me when i see the minia How a gisath player i'm curious to see how i could win. Eliod lived the gisath player dream with amazing reveal stats with no multi attack trigger effect. he's list had too much dino for my taste. but look at this baby

[@m.rosebarlow7699]

I continue to love Eliot's deck

[@WayneyMTG]

Oh we got Gishath, come on baby girl, get us some dino's a stompin

[@aeonofabraxas4464]

That has to be one of the best dino pukes ever!

[@Kolat_Informant]

What a turn by Eliot after the Alex turn! GEEZ

[@OverlordSerk]

i was in a game against 2 token decks and a melfork deck both token deck had nearly infinite tokens but only one of them could attack with them on his turn and went for the melfork guy who proceeds to rivers rebuke at instant speed thanks to a vedalken orrery next comes my turn i only have a wayward swordtooth on the field and a flawless maneuver on hand and enogh mana to cast my commander pantlaza, pantlaza enters and finds a savage order, cast sackin the swordthoot and find gishat then attack the rebuked player, gishat finds wrathful raptors and apex altisaur cast the maneuver in response to the altisaur trigger sweep the field and all the players

[@MrGodofbadideas]

Eliot's Gishath turn could have been even grosser if he remembered his cascade off of the annoyed altisaur

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Cascade requires that you cast it from hand, otherwise you could cascade your cascades cascadingly

[@SamErvin]

Well, you can actually cascade from not-your-hand, it's just that putting a creature onto the battlefield (as with Gishath's ability) is not casting, and cascade only triggers on cast.

[@shayneweyker]

"Better lucky than good!"

[@empresszelda93]

Maybe not AS good as that Gishath flip, but in my Atla Palani deck, I sacked an egg,, and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant was the card on top. I had 5 creatures in hand: Polyraptor, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Etali, Primal Storm, Regal Behemoth, and Ghalta and Mavren. Yeah, I won that game...

[@lihailaowai1381]

Absolutely insane. Holy smokes

[@RabbitsRi]

I've played and played against Gishath a total of 6 times. Never seen a 6 out of 7. Never seen it drop anything that effected gamestate either.

[@dantothex13]

I have a Gishath deck and I have never had a hit like that. Ever ever ever.
