@@koenvandepoll927 nah, if Crim breathes in any game Richard hard targets him, like look at recently when when he completely threw the game with the mole god just running rampant. there's a lot of things Richard does and says that are tbh extremely frustrating, and imo he only fly's under the radar because he's just not ever really that much of a threat/consistently just makes bad plays.

[@AlienValkyrie]

1:26:00 JUDGE! The copies created by Storm are not cast; they are created directly on the stack. (The easy way to remember this is that if they were cast, they'd trigger their own Storm ability.) Also, later, at 1:38:01 - Crim does have a maximum hand size 2 from Recycle, since it entered later and hand-size-modifying effects apply in timestamp order.

[@justinkopy3354]

Is Crim resolving the multiple cascade triggers correctly throughout the video? I was under the impression that the first card you cascade into would be the last you resolve when you have multiples.

[@therealax6]

@@justinkopy3354 All four cascade triggers go on the stack. Then the topmost trigger resolves, which lets you cast a spell, which itself goes on top of the stack (on top of the three cascade triggers still there). So the first spell resolves before the other three cascade triggers do.

[@allamericannonamerican7658]

He misspoke then resolved the storm correctly, only drawing one card from up the beanstalk tho.

[@AlienValkyrie]

@@justinkopy3354 No yeah; the cascades do happen one at a time like that. Each cascade trigger finds the next card off the top and lets you cast it; when you do it gets put on top of the stack, above the other cascade triggers, so it resolves before the next cascade trigger finds the next card.

Hold on a sec, at 1:16:46 as a result of controlling gisela, the 1 damage that would normally hurt the gisela player gets half of it prevented (rounded up), hence the whole 1 damage gets prevented.

Yeah, all the prevented damage was done incorrectly. But it didn't matter in the end.

Crim may have hated green before, but after this experience, it's definitely one of his top 5 colors.

Um actually, colorless is technically considered a color, so green being in his top 5 implies he likes it better than at least one other color.

[@WaltherRJ]

This was by far the episode that made me laugh the most so far, what a game! I think that prof was really thoughtful in building that deck for Crim! And I would love to see that primer, too, or better a deck tech on that mono green storm!

[@norsebeast5984]

What I (truly) love about SU&P, is that I can watch the first 15 minutes, without a single card played, and still have a wonderful time listening to the banter! Keeo them coming Prof. You have my favorite series!

[@AnathemaXIII]

Honestly one of the best exercises I could do for my deck building skills was to build a mono colored deck for each color. Especially for the colors I don’t enjoy/understand. It helps you understand the fundamentals of each color. And helps you build multi-colored decks more efficiently. (And it was unfortunately my gateway to the ways of mono-black)

I know, minor detail, but Giselas effect was played wrong: she prevents halfe the damage dealt to you and your permanents rounded up. So any 1dmg ping just dissipates to nothingness, and eg the indoraptor damage at around 1:20:55 would only be 1, since whats prevented is 3/2 rounded up = 2

[@0rphio333]

You are absolutely correct ​@darkusdudemedia However, and it can be easy to forget as a viewer but, these are entertainment personalities and in this style of show only about half of what is likely happening for these folks is actually gameplay. Banter, comedy, and "good show" almost come foremost to correct play and detail oriented attention. Mtg is already a complex game let alone the cameras. I'm right there with you, I sometimes find it difficult to go with the flow when I see things in the game that are obvious to me. However at the end of the day I make misplays or rule violations and what puts them in front of a camera is a mixture of gameplay, game knowledge AND charisma.

[@Hemlocker]

Small note: Gisela prevents half of the damage dealt to you, rounded up. So if Gisela's controller would take 3, they instead take 1. And 1 damage becomes 0. It's the damage prevented that gets rounded up, not the damage dealt.
