[@Sherman.Richards]

David looks more and more like a high schooler as each episode lol this show is like a timeline for him

[@itskmillz]

He grew up fast! Seemed so young the first episode I saw with him

[@ChrisMcGiggity]

I agree! Hope to see more of zach too and itll have the same effect. It's cool seeing younger people play games like this cause most people their age I dont think would be able to or have the attention span to

[@JohnnyMottaBrawlFather]

I was thinking the same thing lol he’s thinning out and getting the highschool we look now lol he’s also more comfortable playing and you can see the confidence lol he’s the man, makes me excited for my kids to get old enough to play because they’ll be just like him 😆😆

[@mindustrial]

David looks like someone that can become a Magic the Gathering Pro-Player, but it's a sad thing that Wizards completely destroyed Standard. the Pro-League and the whole tournament structure even before covid.

[@cabellism]

Hell its only been a year...

[@rikuaxelsora]

Poor David, when he tries to search something, Lynch is like "Opposition agent". But not when Chris or Larry searches.

[@jackwilliams723]

Thats what im saying

[@manuelguzman3319]

I quickly went into the comments to see if someone else notice.

[@Themetaldad]

Same was like guy searchs for land points at opp agent guy searches fir double forest opp agent

[@RJMM]

Llanowar Elves did not die to Toxic Deluge. LOLz

[@captcharisma02]

also Lynch comes up with some sketchy rules about looking at David's hand. that is def not a thing.

[@dreadedevil4055]

Really enjoying these episodes with Larry. Dude seems like he has a pretty strong grasp of the game and is decent at keeping track of interactions.

[@caex]

except for when he kept plus twoing Tevesh while using the +1 ability a couple episodes ago

[@kingdavidsavior9473]

@@caex lmao imagine caring

[@Guavamente]

"I'm a fat 9th grader, please, let me be!" LOL I lost it!

[@SShurricane96]

Haven’t finished the video but Chris seems like a player who knows what he’s doing on his turn before it comes up and doesn’t spend 10 minutes thinking when his turn is up and I’m all for it.

[@itsjustprod]

As episodes go on David begins to look more and more like young pyromancer

[@kingdavidsavior9473]

mama mia he still sucks at playing

[@cassiemay2397]

Lynch clearly isn’t used to playing oppo agent, Chris got 2 lands that he wasn’t supposed to get

[@zacharywright5318]

So did Larry right after that! :)

[@thezerowulf2046]

The man's a Korvold player, he knows the struggle.

[@Hemlocker]

playing Ruin Crab on turn 1 is basically asking to get bullied 😂

[@Contosoldier]

Can confirm. My Phenax deck causes me to get bullied as well LOL

[@riyker4216]

i also have a chatterfang, for a filler card for funnzies....... i put altar of the brood. i like punishment.

[@shaunbrown3435]

Yeeeeeah, buncha mill haters. Granted, my Phenax deck does it's fair share of bullying as well. XD

[@jeffnorris211]

@Riyker… that’s a solid card. Might have to add one too mine. Just got a foil odyssey nut collector for Flavor for mine.

[@mibbzx1493]

Thats Bad threat assessment 🤣 milling cards should not take priority over a squirrel army who basically would’ve won if not for opposition agent and wortmother making 33 red mana to shoot everyone in the face for 99 total damage

[@pleravens]

opposition agent missed 2 searches...skyshroud and wood elves. the point of Lynches deck is to have Geth and friends mill things so Geth gets more options...phenax does not need to be a creature to mill things.

[@briannoone7047]

phenax must be a creature if you want to tap phenax to mill

[@dreadedevil4055]

Well, Phenax itself does need to be a creature to mill, because it doesn't gain the ability to tap to mill unless it is a creature. It doesn't need to be a creature to let other creatures mill though. Lynch could have been tapping every creature he had right before his untap to mill a ton from everyone else, so he definitely missed out on a big part of how to play his deck.

[@ryancole6766]

3 also missed solemn

[@RedViking007]

And Solemn simulacrum

[@zakgalt308]

Chris’s search at 30 minute was missed too I think

[@Theycallmelilmike]

I’m enjoying watching David grow up before our eyes in these videos! Gonna be kicking some serious butt wrestling!

[@aunrah02]

That opening Lynch! So good. Learning to Loose gracefully. Yes. You sir are a gentleman. Also, Routing for you DAVID!

[@cabellism]

Lynch: You have a very nice looking deck.... (as he is looking in the yard seeing what is milled) Chris: Thank you Lynch: I'm gonna have to exile it...

[@LecheroSooo]

Larry and David are just a match made in heaven, being like Dad and Son. Such humble plays there! Really enjoyed the show!

[@jetonbalidemaj]

That opposition agent interaction to the demonic tutor was definitely worth it for the lols 😂

[@oldbones7726]

Thank you for sharing this experience with the community. I wait two weeks in quiet anticipation for your friendly games. On the day the videos drop I make plans, sit in the recliner with a bowl of popcorn and lose myself in the MTG experience. You have a great channel and I love the interaction and table banter between the players. Again, thank you for sharing this with the community.

[@IHateYourDeck]

Thank you for watching!

[@piercemarkt]

I like the redhead kid. He seems more mature than I was at his age.

[@blaze556922]

He is lol

[@Schnaqer]

Larry is hi-Larry-ous Also did they forget about the opposition agent when Chris and Larry tutored lands with the elf and skyshroud claim?

[@jeffa3131]

I knew I wasn’t the only one who saw that lol

[@lechampion2349]

Yes lol

[@lechampion2349]

But I think it’s a may

[@d.onovan9970]

@@lechampion2349 opp agent isn’t a may in terms of the controlling an opponent while they search

[@HighChancellorAdam]

Yes, I think it slightly mattered since Larry needed a ton of mana and he would have missed out on 4 lands had opposition agent worked properly, but it's on the host for not realizing his own card's effect. Good game regardless.

[@dardii7983]

Have always loved this show, but this table of players is my favorite yet! Everyone seems so natural and authentic, with a great mix of persona's. Would love to see you 4 play some more games ❤️

[@jeffnorris211]

My wort the raidmother deck is very similar to His. The best part is, is that it’s about 150$ with a basic ass land base and still smacks

[@TheAirforcebigdawg]

Lynch could've had so many forrest's from skyshroud! with oppo!

[@ryantoole3755]

same with Chris’ wood elves and solemn. Guess Oppo only wants David’s cards.

[@sb4389950596]

It cringes me so bad ahahah!

[@moritzbierdimpfl7233]

he still can only play one tho right?

[@Deer_God]

Larry might be my favorite guest on this show. Just oozes charisma and good vibes. Hope to see him more often on the show.

[@funkyfish90]

I really enjoy this show, but there’s a rule which has been overlooked quite often across many episodes. When a card says ”target”, you have to select the targets BEFORE people start making other decisions. For example: Chris had to choose modes and targets for Casualties of War before the other players decided whether they wanted to respond. Likewise, Lynch had to decide who to target with Bojuka Bog before seeing what was milled by the crab’s landfall trigger. They trigger at the same time and can be stacked whichever way, but the target has to be selected before either resolves.

[@nicolasbetker9584]

Lynch, best opener of a Commander gameplay I have seen. Such a genuine interaction! Thank you man.

[@blindrocket]

Great episode and great show. I really like the multiple camera angles and the flow of everything is very smooth and informative. Great attitudes as well.

[@andrewh3032]

By far my favorite channel to watch Magic games on. Keep up the amazing content! Can't wait for the next game.

[@IHateYourDeck]

Thanks! Will do!

[@StaticCat1369]

Lynch - OPPOSITION AGENT - people are searching for lands . . . you can search and get them instead - lol - also the other guy who played Casualty of War why didn't he get rid of Tvesh Szat?

[@charlesmaillho367]

Around 13:25 when you played the bojuka bog, you need to declare targets for the bog before the mill trigger resolves. You can't know what they mill before picking a target in that situation if you stack the triggers that way.

[@johnsannicolas5649]

Nah he can choose which way to stack the triggers

[@j.b.peterson549]

@@johnsannicolas5649 Yes but he has to choose targets for the bog trigger before either resolve.

[@charlesmaillho367]

@@johnsannicolas5649 Yes, he can choose to stack his targets. This has nothing to do with which way he chooses to stack them but with his declaration of target after the mill trigger had resolved. He can't choose the target after seeing the first triggered ability resolve. Part of the bojuka bog ability going on the stack is choosing a target.

[@sreggad]

@@johnsannicolas5649 yes but you choose the targets when the ability goes on the stack. so while yes he can choose to have the mill resolve before bajuka bog resolves he still must choose who bajuka bog is targeting when it's added to the stack. which would be before the mill is resolved

[@mibbzx1493]

You’re both right lynch changed his target because he saw food chain get milled, should’ve been a takesie back counter and you can still choose how you stack it

[@billcannon]

All the guests are great. Lynch is great. Decks are great. Keep it up. 💯

[@robertfranklin8522]

Wort was one of my first decks and love to see it updated (from when I played it in 2013) and just wreck the table. Good times!

This is definitely the best commander show on youtube. Thank you Lynch!

[@jamesmarshall8940]

Larry really sweating it bruh lol

[@alexanderpace3238]

That sweat is so very excessive. I hope it is not from anything serious and perhaps just nerves.

Haven't watched for a minute, but that opening statement is the #1 sentiment of this game. Theres always another round and chance for a crazy game someone wants. Sometimes anything can happen no matter how many times you goldfish. No reason to tilt when you've got the few people will play this game

[@AustinRealtorRyan]

[@IHateYourDeck]

Thanks for the support.

[@ianmaxwell843]

Larry sounds more and more like Jeff goldblum each time he’s on the show and I’m here for it

[@jsato4921]

13:20 Because the bog and the crab both trigger at the same time, you wouldn't actually be able to look at what gets milled before deciding whos graveyard to exile. As soon as the trigger goes on the stack, you have to declare targets.

[@Nicolas_G.]

Chris is a very cool dude, I really enjoyed this episode. The gameplay was super fun!

[@mandygarbarski]

Hey David, Mark Rosewater said on his blog the correct way to pronounce Llanowar is LAN-oh-war.

[@MTG_Brewzl]

Phenax gives his ability without being online...

[@caseywellington4761]

Yeah I don't think Lynch realized that

[@detirahunter682]

it's Phenax being online is what gives power/toughness which Lynch wanted to use that toughness for mill

being online to tap is the difference of 7 cards mill

Anyone notice that Larry is pits are sweating buckets!! Dang Larry!!!

[@callmeanata]

I'm still somewhere mid this vid, but can't David kill leftover creatures from the toxic deluges by saccing squirls to chatterfang and +x/-x'ing them

[@gtfawaynotnow]

I’ve watched a few eps from different times. It’s interesting how the show has evolved. The early eps of IHYD used to be super powerful with 5 turn wins BUT weren’t as engaging bc the lead player generally took 10+ minute turns when they popped off which made the show harder to watch. It seems Matt has found the ‘sweet spot’ on power level that’s spicy/splashy yet still engaging to watch.

[@EvertfromNederland]

"Guess who's tapped, tapped again, theyi're all tapped, all your friends" that was hilarious

[@professor_crumbly5618]

My man Larry with the Adderall sweats

[@amerixantrash3620]

A+ episode. So much fun watching all these decks go off. David's "fuck you" with the opposition agent completely deserved and hilarious. Shots of hot sauce is brilliant. When we play games that usually take longer terms (ie, Catan) we set a 2 minute timer - take longer than the 2 minutes it's a shot of an adult beverage!

[@megec]

If you are going to show a card overlay I would recommend you show the art that has the rules text on it. I understand Lynch stated aloud what it does and you could look it up but it kinda defeats the purpose of showing the card. This is in regards to ponder at 21:04.

[@Rapformyanxiety]

Love the show. Keep running them 🆙

[@jacobwarren7469]

I actually love this episode. It’s been my fav so far

[@codyryan1027]

Chris didn't have to tell us he was in the military, we could see his mustache just fine.

[@caseywilliams4145]

Why didn't casualties of war not destroy the planeswalker??

[@caseywellington4761]

I think he didn't want to bully Lynch, although killing Tevesh would definitely have been the better play

[@das5884]

Oops

[@blaze556922]

Don't see people outside of the highway patrol with mustaches anymore. Dude looks like he's about to tie a woman down to the train tracks and "you'll never stop the train in time, Lone Ranger!" 🤣

[@moreplease394]

I am really excited to see David progressing in the game. It's like watching myself in a way from a kid to a teen to an adult. I also appreciate that every deck you guys have is running the same cards (such as cedh) because some other creators really just do the most uninspired decks and it feels disingenuous. I'm excited to see Wort on this episode. Can you do some episodes where you use some commanders who aren't in the top 100 on edhrec?

[@Loki-]

I love this show and the editing, but if I could alter one thing, it would be for cards that pop up on the screen stay up longer. 2:42 when Phenax is introduced, it's only so briefly. I should note, they're only occasionally not up for long enough. When the person doesn't read the card that's usually the case, but I find I can't follow the episode if I don't see the card or hear people explaining the cards. I'm new and learning! Thanks!

[@IHateYourDeck]

Sorry you have to pause. Sometime's people forget to read the card, and we forget to ask them to read it. But we try to get everyone to read the card. We want to help people like you that care. So our intention is there.

[@Loki-]

​@@IHateYourDeck Thank you!

[@jsato4921]

39:52 The Op Agent would Not exile. The exile effect says controls, not owns, so it would die as normal.

[@zigfriyd7818]

Was about to say the same while watching this, so glad someone else saw it too. I was already a little sad the opposition agent was only being remembered when the kid would search.

[@douwe3300]

At 30 minutes sad robot finds a swamp but there is opposition agent :) Also I think after that when the plundered gets assassin's trophy'd, because that's also a creature everyone should have lost one more live and david gain one more.

Fun fact Opposition Agent's ruling works well in Legacy play as well, especially since how moat decks in legacy win by turn 1, 2 or 3 or ev

[@davidblackwell3326]

Searching on google seems to indicate that Lynch was incorrect about Opp Agent. You have control of your opponent while they’re searching their library only, you can’t look at their hand.

[@Dragon_Fyre]

Mtg assist says that you can take any action for them but as it is only while they are searching their library, this is quite restrictive. You can however view their hand, as well as any facedown cards such as morphs or foretells as this does not require turn priority. You cannot view their sideboard (there is specifically a rule that you cannot view cards from outside of play unless you are the player).

[@ryanquinn1257]

Love me some Phenax. Second commander I built. I always love how much hate mill will get and the challenge of trying to mill the table vs a thassa's oracle self mill win. Loved this match. I live in San Diego County and there's such a big military contingent amongst the MTG community here so rad to see. Also I love me some opposition agent because it is such a good balancing force. The higher power decks run fetches for mana consistency and tutors for combo consistency so Opposition agent is mediocre at low level tables and game warping at high levels. Real cool design having that format flexibility.

[@Nicolas0981]

Opposition Agent was out when he cast Wood Elves 36:24 but wasn't controlled.

[@kuchosanchez8595]

at 36:24 Lynch forgot that he has an Opposition agent and let chris search for a forest 😅 Same at 36:50 with Larrry's Skyshourd Claim

[@vinwonsenobi]

44:03 You can't say you are going to reverberate it if there is no response. You have to do it immediately. If no one responds it resolves and it's no longer on the stack to reverberate it. additionally if someone counters it with reverberate on the stack reverberate fizzles too.

[@robertpylko]

Great game, always enjoy the show! Thanks for the content! Question aside, Opposition Agent on board, while playing Wood Elves and Skyshroud Claim - shouldn't Mike search for some lands?

[@tldrq2456]

Was Larry creating untapped 1/1 elementals around 43 mins in? Urbrask was still on the board so they would come in tapped which means connive from his Commander wouldn't have gone off? Either way, Larry's decks always bring that heat (like that sweet potato hot sauce).
