Iroas vs Atraxa vs Grand Arbiter Augustin IV vs Vorel EDH / CMDR game for Magic: The Gathering

[@chadvill2633]

Did you see how swiftly and angrily Dom tapped the petitioners when John casts the wrath of god?

[@Razorfrost55]

That managorger hydra wouldn't have had trample due to joe's archetype

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good catch! That may have been an issue on my narration.

[@sektorone1466]

@@MTGMuddstah ...well not just on your narration. Dom took 15 points of damage while blocking with one creature

[@josephg279]

It was a narration error. We had it right during the game. He forgot I had the archetype of aggression when he attacked dom

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

"Commander Atraxa." "Yes sir?" "See that grove of trees making lots of mana for the Elven nation?" "Yes sir." "I don't want to." "Understood sir." *_BOOOOOOM!!!!_*

[@alejocatriancolombo4230]

Marshal's anthem couldn't be casted, because targets are illegal thanks to dom's silent gravestone. But mistakes happens all the time :)

[@DarkEinherjar]

Actually it can. The trigger won't do anything, but the enchantment will still enter the battlefield normally.

[@alejocatriancolombo4230]

@@DarkEinherjar Good catch! Always thought it was a sorcery with multikicker. But yeah, the result is the same. The multikicker doesn't do anything due to illegal targets.

[@josephg279]

Nice catch. Yep no one noticed the silent grave stone

[@josephg279]

My bad

[@josephg279]

So dom would have won. Sorry dom lol

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

Omg omg omg!!! You really built and played the deck and got it on camera!! Atraxa's Orbital Bombardment Array was real! The dream came true! Thank you so much John for making this! So sorry to see you get picked on so much but still, 4 lux cannons active was a joy to behold. Thank you so much for making the deck hun, seriously xx

[@ToxicPoutine]

I'm happy I had the opportunity to play the deck on camera, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for posting the idea in the first place :p

[@badvoodoo2097]

John wouldn’t you get double the lux cannon tokens from doubling season and double counters?

[@FadedHexx]

Oh gosh! hahahahahaha i laughed so freaking hard when he spiked his cards onto the table. LET THE SALT MINES FLOWETH!

[@josephg279]

I was so epic. Everyone watching was like ""better hope he doesn't have a blue suns zenith" and "how funny would it be if he had a blue suns zenith". Couldn't had been better even if it was scripted

[@heltoupee]

Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Very nice.

[@NickOnFire1490]

Looks like he might've had copyright issues, cause this version is shifted down a whole step into C minor. Still awesome!

[@Jaketheknight1]

I’m dying of laughter, this is one of the funniest games of EDH I’ve ever seen. I saw Steve flash that Blue Sun’s after Joe’s turn while sorting his hand and busted up laughing.

[@drvinylscratch1936]

poor john his deck was so meme tier fun. make 2 lux cannons a turn and arm them

[@josephg279]

That short pause before the epic finish lol. Love it

[@whiterabbit2786]

Super excited to see the Petitioner deck. I hope Dom returns to the channel.

[@drakenwinter8386]

Would the GAAIV list be available anytime soon? Seems like fun non-stax version of GAAIV i. e. not that much of a pain to play against.

[@N1ghthavvk]

Knollspine Dragon wouldn't have been able to draw the Iroas player that many cards, as the opponent that took the damage was already dead and couldn't have been the target(!) of its ability (it's an old card and doesn't have new templating that might have worked).

[@josephg279]

Ah yep you are right. Knollspine dragon does say target player on the card. Good catch. Another mistake.

[@toastman3421]

Came down here to say the same lol.

[@johannpohland2826]

Good 2 know

[@YoshiJoshi1994]

That ending tho hahah just the perfect amount of mana with the perfect card to kill ironically

i agree, i sleep to this channel at least once a week

Every time I hear Toccata and Fugue in your videos I suddenly feel like it's Halloween. Then I realize it's not Halloween yet and I get a little sad.

[@Cole444Train]

This was a swingy game. Super fun to watch

[@mouseodious393]

Lux cannon is my favorite card, so this was really cool

[@jxhook]

The Blue Sun's Zenith made me laugh so hard! Great game, all hail Muddstah!

[@Tehnameless1]

That was an amazing game, and I'm not usually for gimmicks but they did it all very well

[@Sucrose_Mother]

I have a persistant petitioners deck but with zur leading them. I had taken notes from Jumbo commander but i added in stuff that locks out big creatures like meek stone amd tax effect essentially becoming pillow fort.

[@amethystwyvern]

“Steve counts up his mana” I just knew the Blue Sun was coming!

[@crovax1375]

I want to use Prototype Portal to imprint Lotus Bloom, which to me seems like one of the best options, especially with token doubling effects in play

[@KlutoMindMusk]

Where does one get that skyrim map playmat

[@cardlivesmatter1566]

That was something to be seen I looked it, I do have a question though can you target a dead opponent with knollspine dragon

[@PenguinJack]

After a player loses the game they are no longer targetable I'm pretty sure

[@charlesmaillho367]

Combat Celebrant would not untap during the second combat phase. That extra 4 damage that was dealt would have been 4 more cards on top of his deck.

[@Barjack521]

best part of Thursday

[@TheBeaviz]

Hi guys, any chance to see Iroas decklist somewhere?

[@ryan6881]

Your voice is very relaxing. I really enjoy watching these videos

[@tonyontilt3522]

Best intro yet

[@SimonDLCruz]

Grand Arbiter’s Deck List?

[@Isa-hr8lu]

WAAAY after the fact, but could the Knollspine draw cards? I don't think it could because it says "target opponent" sooo because the player is dead ... I don't know the ruling on it though.

[@3etg456]

Is it just me or did no one pay the one extra cost that GAAIV causes...I may be seeing things though

[@josephg279]

Well I remember we all paid. As we all kept complaining through out the game.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Most people did. John paid 5 for Wrath of God, etc. I just didn't announce it.

[@CommanderReplay]

Dont mind me, just stopping by to study this Iroas deck.

[@randyzap6948]

Okay guys, hear me out. I built my petitioners deck bluegreen piloted by Tishana. I like green for the untap effects like seedborn Muse, quest for Renewal, murkfiend liege. Also get to use fun cards like kindred summons and wild pair. Ramp crazy with harvest season and salvage a successful boardwipe with creeping Renaissance. Tishana is there just to refill my hand and be a decent blocker

[@Ianoxen]

Nice idea. Have you tried including Doubling Chant? Search the City? Sphinx of the Chimes? Faces of the Past? I am planning to build one too but have no commander choice yet.

[@randyzap6948]

@@Ianoxen Doubling Chant! That card was originally on my radar when I built the deck but it slipped through the cracks at some point and I forgot about it. Definitely worth picking up. Interesting idea with those blue same name cards as well.

That angry card throw at the end tho :/

[@Tapp1e_]

Joe could’ve have targeted Dom with Knollspine Dragon, as Dom was no longer in the game

[@trashcitybro2835]

Do you set any rules on the type of deck people can use in these videos? Like some things you think might be too strong?

I have like 15 edh decks. All different power levels. When we all sat down for a game. Everyone wanted to play low level power decks.

[@CheesyBrie13]

so um... doesn't Angel of Jubilation stop pain lands from working? "players can't pay life or sacrifice creatures to cast spells or activate abilities." It doesn't say "unless they are mana abilities" which most cards usually do. Nonetheless, great game as usual!!

[@NMS127]

That stops lands like Mana Confluence and fetchlands, but not ones that deal damage like City of Brass and Adarkar Wastes.

[@CheesyBrie13]

Oh you're right!! I forgot that pain lands work differently than mana confluence. Thanks for correcting me!

[@josephg279]

No the angel only stops creatures being sacrificed

[@josephg279]

Oh shit you are right. Damn I missed that they cant pay life either. Everytime I play on camera I find out how bad I am at magic

very entertaining game. Trying to figure out how to use my own Vorel deck.

[@Spulverin15]

What did Dom to Jhon that he killed 2 lands instead of 2 creatures that attacked him?
