Kenrith vs Yuriko vs Korvold Food Chain vs Gitrog Dredge | cEDH Gameplay | Casually Competitive

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Thanks for all the support over the last month! We are really excited to continue improving and expanding the content on this channel, so expect great things from us in 2020! Have a great holiday season!

[@ulcifer]

This channel is going big places man ^^

[@Kazz1187]

I’m excited for more

[@bradenskaggs5350]

I think I've figured out a pattern on the channel. Joseph prefers to durdle doesn't he? He prefers slow methodical control decks that don't win through the combat step

[@fel_95]

One thing i learned, Competitive EDH is like normal EDH, but most of your life is lost because of your own mana sources

[@feritperliare2890]

Life is a resource use it It's not like your opponents are actually going to kill you with small repeated attacks each turn Most games end with a crazy damage combo or just commander damage

[@Squirrel_eater]

This is some seriously great production. This chanel will grow for sure

[@Sliver_Boi]

SPOILER! Adam here, pilot of yuriko for this video. I would like to give an explanation of a poor play on my part in this video. You were all probably confused when I used lim dul vault and only whet 3 times before using top to grab a mystical tutor to grab the miracle turn spell since I could have used vault to grab the miracle. What happened was simple, I didnt read the card right. It was my first time playing it and I didnt realize you rearrange the cards you look at, I thought you kept them in the same order they were in. Because of that I decided it would be the most cost effective to grab the miracle and guarantee it was on top so I could take an extra turn for 2 mana and leave the rest of my mana, plus mana drain mana, to cast my commander and stuff that I hit off of her ability. When I realized later how the card worked I felt a bit ashamed of my misplay. I hope the rest of the gameplay made up for the mistake however and I will work harder in the future to not make poor decisions like that again. I also was not as worried about looking for big spells to kill bill because without food chain I believed he wouldn't be able to win the following turn so I felt pretty comfortable shuffling and not knowing exactly what was on top.

[@JoeStroncek]

I was waiting for this at the end of the video. Very confused when I saw it play out but I know the feels of first time flubs with cards

[@teddyshark4085]

In my experience with playing Yuriko it is advantageous to mulligan aggressively down to five cards rather than keep a hand without a one drop, an island and a swamp to get the turn 2 trigger off Yuriko. With the London mulligan it is even less risky. I was curious why you decided to keep your hand?

[@Sliver_Boi]

I think I was just nervous. In a lot of games I've played I've aggressively milluganed down to 4 and 5 and its turned out pretty bad, so sometimes I keep a safe 7. Especially with top i figured i could try to use that to find an earlier play. Havnt played yuriko a lot lately though so it might not be too bad to go down to a low hand size since her ability can refill your hand rather quickly

[@bradenrogers4642]

An acceptable miss play as long as you keep playing yuriko the best commander

[@TotteThorsen]

Also at 14.29 you could have just ninjutsu Yuriko in instead of casting her. Would have saved you 4 mana to spend elsewhere that turn! (Since you could just replay Mothdust for a blue) Keep playing Yuriko mate, love seeing others piloting her! (:

[@riskae_]

Thanks for filling this niche on KZbin. Great to finally see moderate paced competitive edh games 👍

[@crovax1375]

Korvold is quickly becoming one of my favorite commanders and Dockside Extortionist is an amazing card in the deck!

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Honestly, even though it beats me more often than not, I really enjoy playing against Bill's Korvold deck

[@dustingreen2254]

Run citadel of bolas and vensers journal and of course uvenwald mysteries alter of dementia and pitiless plundered and pawn of ulamog... hit ramp right and you'll have your whole deck in hand turn 5

[@adamweinberg1561]

This is quickly becoming my favorite cEDH channel. More fun decks, you guys listen to the community, and you are good at pointing out mistakes.

[@jPache]

I'm a fan of the alligator having a hat on :) Thanks for showing such fun games!

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

He's a croc

[@Snuske10006]

It's awesome to see more commander channels pop up! Great videos, calm voice and just great "casting" of the games. The explanation of the small mistakes is for me what makes you better than alot of other channels. I feel like it distracts me alot when it happens and is not mentioned. Keep it up!

[@Bryan-xv9wc]

Great content. Especially like the end of the game comments on best/worst, and now the comments about certain plays in the game. Keep up the great work all.

[@josefranciscodasilvaeolive674]

It's great to see more EDH content on KZbin! You've got a new subscribor!! I look forward to seeing more videos.

[@samsplace1470]

I hope Dockside Extortionist makes a triumphant return!

[@godzilla337]

I am really enjoying your guys content! Keep up the good work gents and Happy Holidays!

[@jakemaxwell3810]

The value engines between these decks are REAL

[@balaneopteramusculus]

you are becomming my favourite edh content!

[@Sajanis1]

Is nobody gonna talk about Bill's sweatshirt

[@KennyViTran]

it's called hentai and it's art.

[@PhazonOmega]

Korvold is really growing on me. There are a lot of interesting lines you can play that are effective, and many of the pieces can be budget, depending on what lines you go (including some lines I haven't seen yet). His colors are colors not often seen in cEDH that I know of, and there are some fun and unexpected interactions that go along with that!

[@hive_mind5869]

Yay more yuriko I love seeing yuriko played he is one of my favorite commanders

[@justryangeorge]

Nice gameplay, I dont have a jund deck in my arsenal yet but more and more gameplay with Korvold really is making me consider a sacrifice value deck with him.

[@timc0212]

Just stumbled upon this channel, and I’m really impressed with the quality and gameplay. Keep it up!

[@WealthyBig34]

Great video!!! I was thinking of an idea, how about budget optimized decks? I am a new subscriber, and enjoy the content, but it would be lovely to see optimized decks without of the expensive cards to show people optimized decks can still be made with restrictions on them!

[@johnkater5276]

This is a Yuriko vs Gitrog commander value engine contest! Korvold and Kenrith are cool too. :P

[@teachermarcos]

Great stuff! I'd love to see your take on an Emry deck. I think it would be great. Happy holidays and keep it up in 2020.

[@themochaman]

Great matchup

[@austink2598]

12:18 @Casually Competitive MTG Technically, doesn't the turn order go End Step -> Clean Up meaning that Bill doesn't discard until everyone passes priority, getting out of the end step entirely?

[@KoiBoiRoi]

6:11 the shade thrown at Bill lol

[@mehtheorc]

Wow! What a cool combo for the win! 🤙

[@cameronsims9850]

I love Korvold so much. I've built mine to be goblin tribal with a treasure sub-theme. So it's like a King dragon eating goblins and hoarding treasure. It's kind of become a combo deck cause of how easy it is to get a sac outlet, then go Murderous Redcap + Grumgully, the Generous. I'm trying to hold myself back from adding Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal and a TEMUR Sabertooth to the deck.

[@Kazz1187]

Notion thief is a good card, especially against decks that like to draw lots of cards

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

For real. The dark ritual notion thief was the only reason I kept that opening hand

[@Kazz1187]

Ooh, notion thief into wheels are devastating for the other players whoaaaaaaaaa

[@TheGMGC1]

Notion Thief is one of those cards that makes you say "I hate you" under your breath.

[@dizzysmith551]

bill has VERY good taste in hoodies ;)

[@robinwaij5315]

More saucy Korvold!!! What an epic commander.

[@lucasbakeforero426]

Go go Yuriko

[@DummyUrD]

Minor complaint at 12:25 you don't get priority after the clean-up step here.

[@brandenverity1461]

Fantastic channel guys, absolutely love the content and just out of curiosity if I have a cedh deck list is there a way to send you one for review?

[@andrevpedro]

Just an FYI: You can't do any actions after an opponent discards, there's no window for that. Before discard the priority passes and if nobody want's to do anything, the active player discards and the turn ends. I know this probably didn't change anything in the game, but that's an important step that should be respected. The active player has to acknowledge that he's going to discard due to hand size and say out loud that he/she's going to the discard phase.

[@eduardoquelis6840]

Excellent content! This channel will grow for sure! NOTE: What is the probability of a episode with Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca cEDH? (MAKE MERFOLK GREAT AGAIN! hahaha)

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

The probability of Kumena specifically is pretty low (Trust me, I've tried. It's just too slow to rebuild after a board wipe and the card draw is too resource-intensive early game); however, I do have a pretty interesting 4 color merfolk tribal deck that might make an appearance sometime...

[@eduardoquelis6840]

[@SpyrotheDragon97]

Yo a great episode, was super excited to watch these decks go. Sad that the Gitrog Monster didn’t get going, but what can you do.

[@microdog]

Love the content! Do you guys ever take Deck requests ala Commander VS?

[@shenronsgoldfish]

at 17:30 it looks like there are only 4 artifacts for dockside extortionist? ornithopter, talisman, the mox and mana vault. were the other artifacts hidden amongst other permanents or was it counting the 2 treasures that were sacrificed?

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Dockside counts enchantments as well so there was a training grounds and also a mana crypt from Gitrog

[@shenronsgoldfish]

@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG man that card is busted I thought it only counted artifacts and was insane

[@gavincurtin1896]

[@Frommerman]

Casting Golgari Grave Troll to put it into your graveyard is the kind of galaxy brain play I expect of commander games.

[@Joshbobjovi]

That Sliver playmat is amazing

[@Sliver_Boi]

I love me my slivers. I was wanting this one for a while and figured using it on the channel gave me a good reason to grab it

[@stevenmonserrate308]

Love me some throne of eldraine commanders!

[@luidgigiordano9480]

Just to point out: About 12:30, the enlightened tutor should be casted before discarding to hand size, as the cleanup is the last thing to happen, after everyone passes priorities to cast spells in the end step.

[@VinnieKielbasa]

That DJ Sliver playmat.

[@ProaMc]

Do you guys use proxies?

[@Sliver_Boi]

Yes we use proxies. All of us own the big cards like crypt, food chain, force of will, etc. We usually proxie the cheaper deck specific cards or get multiple copies of the expensive cards so were not constantly unsleeving and resleeving into different decks. Makes it a lot easier

[@Kazz1187]

I'm ready for an impossibly long end step with gitrog

[@lucasbakeforero426]

I'm not. I think it might take even longer than all the extra turns from Yuriko combined 🤣

[@Alex_Simpson711]

Hey can casually competitive do you or any of your friends play any of the vampire commanders like anje falkenrath, edgar markov, or Olivia Voldaren? I like to see 1 of you play 1 of those commanders

[@uriahatkinson2103]

GG everyone..karvort took the win..very nice... Keep the games going sll

[@shatteredseraphine]

17:20 Pretty sure there were 7 artifacts and enchantments in play when that Dockside Extortionist resolved, not 6. It super didn't matter but was just something I noticed so was worth pointing out :) GG

[@Joshbobjovi]

Damn man, this whole time I thought he just counted artifacts.. Guess it helps to read the card! lol

[@AceHardy]

[@ESP4thaWin]

Which muligan rule do you use? I've played with some people casually and they all agree that the first muligan is a free new 7. This does not work in cEDH in my opion, since it makes combo decks much stronger. Do you muligan normal london muligan?

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

We use the London Mulligan with the standard multiplayer mulligan rules (getting the 2nd free 7)

[@batsumoto]

I see Kenrith, I press like.

Does notion thief counter Korvold? Wouldnt it just make the korvold player make the Notion thief player draw himself to death, then killing everyone else afterwards?

bill is my hero, even if i dont like he's deck , hes hoodie is ... wounderfull

[@chrisboone2755]

I haven't read ALL the comments...but Notion Thief doesn't really stop Gitrog does he? Can't Gitrog combo off, putting alot of draw triggers on the stack and deck out the NT player then continue on and win?

[@timno5398]

Would really love it if you could show how many cards each player has in hand

[@Francisluther-p3x]

How does he have a squandered resources in Gitrog deck?

[@Jake-dq8in]

Nice sweatshirt Bill!

[@r.dommizsed2377]

im confused on why adam didnt just use the walk the eons buyback to go into another turn since you can first tap your blue for mana en then sack it in those lands to cast it

[@mbordiermontes]

Why is mindblade render in the gitrog deck?

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Mindblade Render is a budget option for Dark Confidant. It can semi-reliably get damage through (depending on the opponent's decks), is the same CMC as DC, and can be a decent blocker if there is a Tymna player swinging with mana dorks

[@noalindqvist9826]

A Korvold deck just won with the same combo in one of Muddstah's games. Coincidence? I think not!

[@jarmystrong01]

Food Chain doesn't count as a sacrifice does it? You wouldn't draw cards off of the Squee / Food Chain combo.

[@billkakke6050]

You make infinite Mana with the food chain squee combo. You then cast squee from exile and then cast korvold sacing squee and drawing a card. Then exile korvold with food chain putting him to the command zone instead. Then recast squee from the graveyard and recast korvold repeating the cycle to draw your deck. :)

[@jarmystrong01]

@@billkakke6050 Ahh, that makes sense. Korvold sac trigger flew way over my head, thanks man.

[@Speetlebeetle]

Without the Notion Thief the frog easily wins with tutoring for a discard outlet then using Gravetroll to draw and mill through his deck until he hits Dakmor, because to be fair the odds are insanely low that he can't get through his deck. Plus he's presumable a good enough pilot to be able to abuse the stack to get where he needs.

great game and content, as per usual by now :) can't help but think you might as well shout out Mitch (Commander's Quarters) when telling your viewers to go look up how Gitrog Dredge works - he's got a video on that combo (although of course with a budget deck list) that explains it really well, and the more all of you awesome Commander content creators help eachother out the better for everyone :)

[@StanleyKuo184]

So the Kenrith player floated two blue mana and did nothing when Temur Sabertooth hits the board? I guess it's all for bluff then.

[@LordofFaet]

Personally I think it would've been worth it to the Cyclonic Rift while the rest of the players were largely tapped out. Though I don't know if I would've in that position, simply due to me being a very greedy sort of player.

[@Sliver_Boi]

I was very tempted to be greedy with the rift. I mainly held it due to the fact that 2 people had a carpet of flowers, which would have let them play their entire boards back out easily and Joseph had a cheap board state as well. Wouldn't have had as much impact as forcing them to think if they should play permanants into a possible rift.

[@julianhugen8760]

I want to say something about your frame in the center. I really don'y like the mid 90s wood style at all, but this is not my point, I think than you can make it better the fallowing way: reduce at the card size, making the gold cornners appears over the card and the rest in the botton part, make the borders a little more darker to appear to be really under the card. Why I'm saying this? Because you frame is too big, making it not astetic pleasing. The way I describe, with the animation you're using, will made the card pop and embed on the cornners, given a nice effect. I hope that you see my comment as a productive review to improve your show.
