Chainer vs Sythis vs Aeve vs Carth | MTG EDH Gameplay | S3:E9 | The Diamond Commander League

[@riesenbach]

A quick tip from an avid chainer player: When you play him from your command zone, he gives himself haste! Spencer could have killed the ugin with 1 loyalty after Julian swept the board X)

[@KingdomsTV]

He is even better than I thought! I don't think any of us realized this. Good comment.

[@torreywalls1930]

I was about to say the same lol

[@hiddenleaf414]

@riesenbach you got a decklist? Planning on building a Chainer deck, now with the full art stain glass lands.

[@riesenbach]

@@hiddenleaf414 took him apart unfortunately. Classic rakdos self mill/sacrifice synergies with a big reanimate spell or value looping cavalier of night to seal it up

[@HarrYfLahman]

Great game, but I think Lili only creates one zombie token with her +1, not two, am I right?

[@KingdomsTV]

You are completely right. I think we all got confused because her minus kills two creatures. oops!

[@rodrigostinchcombe7396]

This channel is too well edited to have 3.5k subscribers. I don't even play EDH and I love watching y'all

[@KingdomsTV]

Wow! Thank you. We will get out to masses someday. :)

[@oscarperezcame]

I see what you did there! The small card animations, the camera shots on the players (by the way, so good to have the face-to-face matches again)... it was awesome... Aeve is sick!!

[@KingdomsTV]

Yes! I'm glad you like it. We are going to keep it going starting next season.

[@bradwinward1237]

Extra work for in person was 100% worth it! Loved watching in person interactions and seeing your faces

[@KingdomsTV]

I'm glad to hear it. We are going to record our games at the comic con and we plan on editing those in this same way!

[@memebot69k31]

In the name of the almighty algorithm I hereby declare this video of the utmost quality!

[@KingdomsTV]

Haha, yes!

Carlos where did you get your playmat??

[@KingdomsTV]

Its our newest playmay. merch store www.kingdoms dot tv/merch

I've gotta admit, I'm a little jealous. Glad y'all are getting to play in person. The video was a lot of fun.

[@KingdomsTV]

Everyone will get there eventually! "fingers crossed"

[@kingfuzzy2]

Chainer is a commander that I didn't find soon enough to build a deck hope he pops off : D

[@KingdomsTV]

Remember he has hast from the command zone as we all forgot!

[@kingfuzzy2]

Of course 😊

[@chummer2060]

Fun game! My home group started playing in person recently. It's so nice to get back to the table!

[@KingdomsTV]

It's crazy how much I missed it!

[@nihonben]

Real fun game and excellent editing! The extra time put into the video editing really makes it pop

[@KingdomsTV]

Good people in the game too ;)

[@wuptyz]

Another great video! The extra editing paid off and shows. Good to see you guys can hang out again!

[@KingdomsTV]

The vaccine is awesome and I am happy to be around people playing some sweet edh!

[@edoardospagnolo6252]

Loved the in person episode! And it's always great to see commanders doing crazy things that are unusual for their colour(s), like storm in green for example. :)

[@KingdomsTV]

Aeve is super fun to play. Its so out of the ordinary for a mono green deck like you said.

[@nelsonmarques6732]

Great game! Just found out about this chanel and it has been a lot of fun. Best regards from Brazil.

[@KingdomsTV]

Bem vinda!

[@michaelrichards5253]

Very cool game, it is super difficult to get everything right with triggers and cards when there is so much going on. I liked the change to in-person. 🍻

[@KingdomsTV]

I think we have alot of room to improve, but we can get there. I'm glad you like the in person. Its such a different feel to play with your friends right across the table.

Just letting you guys known, Sword of Hearth and Home says you exile UP to one creature, so you can choose not to exile one at all, and still get the land. Didn't see anybody mention it.

[@KingdomsTV]

oooooh, pretty sure non of us paid attention to that. Good call.

[@SamuelKacerik]

Carlos, I think Deserted Temple would be a nice addition to your deck. :P

[@KingdomsTV]

Geez, it really is. I need to find one!

[@daverobertshaw]

Anyone else think that Ben sounds like Keanu Reeves? :D

[@KingdomsTV]

Haha! I can hear it a bit.

[@jakenhsman]

Like other people said, the small animations, focus on card abilities, etc all help the game be easier to follow. I'm sure it's a lot of work but its appreciated! Just out of curiosity, why were mana dorks banned for this series? (And I assume those are for mana rocks and not mana elves, etc?)

[@KingdomsTV]

Early on in our league even before we started recording we had achievements you could earn in and outside of the game. These achievements earned the players points and they could turn the points in for booster boxes and other prizes. As we grew as a channel they made less and less sense as most viewers didn’t really know about or care about these achievements. So I slowly started fading them out. I’m season three one of the achievements for that month was not not use any mana dorks. It was an optional achievement so some did it and some didnt. We don’t have achievements anymore but it as an interesting experiment.

[@emmanuelperezg]

Why is liliana making 2 zombies with her +1 ?

[@timvanheusden4078]

she isnt, its a misplay

[@michaelrichards5253]

Ahhh I was also wondering that.

[@KingdomsTV]

Ya we messed up there and didn't even catch it edit. I think we thought because the minus made you sac to zombies we also played it that the plus made two zombies. Sorry!

[@nigelng325]

Uhmm I think you guys forgot to resolve carth's death trigger which does the same as his etb meaning the draws would have changed.

[@KingdomsTV]

We totally did... I'm going to blame Julian for that one. Haha!

[@alisonflannery6523]

It’s on walker death not his death

[@Djolouman]

Just discovered your channel and I'm really digging your content. Keep up the good work and if possible please do more in-person games! The in-person chemistry is unbeatable.

[@bombatwombat3680]

I love how the rules suggest not to play mana dorks but Carlos has every llanowar elves clone ever printed in his deck lmao

[@KingdomsTV]

Ya the system was broken. One of the reasons we had to change it. I couldn’t get points so I wasn’t incentivized to. It was worth a try.

[@bobby45825]

Nice game. Around the 30 minute mark, Shroud makes equipment fall off, so once he equips the greaves, it makes the swords unequip.

[@KingdomsTV]

Protection from Artifacts is the only thing that makes them “fall off.” shroud just means it can’t be targeted thereafter.

[@bobby45825]

@@KingdomsTV Yeah, you're right. I had to look it up to reconfirm. Been a while since i've seen that unique interaction.

[@VSeccion]

Strong the Best player ever !

[@KingdomsTV]

Hmmm?

[@josht9518]

Seems like you did a lot more play edits in this one as well. I guess because there was so much more camera editing work for in person games, you had more time to look at card highlight edits as well? Very clean. Really enjoyed it.

[@KingdomsTV]

With a spelltable game the audio and visuals are all on one track so its hard to split things up. With this type of setup we have audio segregated from three different cameras so it allows alot more customization.

[@josht9518]

@@KingdomsTV wow. I learn something every day. Now once you figure out your spacing so you don't have to carefully draw a card so you won't hit any cords or the mic itself, you'll be golden :P

[@lucasgda4855]

Maybe I get the storm rule wrong, but I think that storm spells does not count itself, so if you cast only Aeve in a turn, and nothing more before (like on minute 29:15), it won't create any copies, right?

[@KingdomsTV]

You are right. I mentioned at the beginning of the video that we messed up on Storm a few times by adding an extra one. Sorry about that!

@@KingdomsTV i didn't get the beginning of the video, but thanks for answering anyway. Great content! Keep the good work!

[@TheRDRipley]

It would be cool if for a season or maybe a just a couple games, you make the suggestions requirements just to see what people build. Also on the misplay note, it might be helpful to have a "judge" who can help with some of that while you guys play. IF POSSIBLE of course

[@KingdomsTV]

It would be nice but we'd have to get someone to come just watch us play for 3- 4 hours and that doesn't seem too fun.

[@WerdLump]

Video was AWESOME

[@KingdomsTV]

Yes! Any part that you liked the most?

[@WerdLump]

My favorite part of the video included the surprise ending of Carlos top decking his win condition, even though it seemed like the person sitting next to him was so close to closing the game. I thoroughly appreciated seeing how even though mistakes can be made from all players, it doesn’t ruin the outcome of the game overall. Everyone still seemed to enjoy their game time and the viewers got to see everything in real time! This was as close as I have gotten to a true MTG podcast where you not only play, but you have a conversation about the cards as well while you’re playing… it was almost as if we (the viewers) were in an LCS as spectators watching this game unfold. Cudos Kingdoms… I admire the content.

Great game, never see a chainer do well tho and it hurts. I take it personally now. You're not doing yourself any favours btw with the card animations, it's extra work for the editor and they're weak and ineffective without sound or any extra animation. Either cut the extra workload out or commit to doing it well. Otherwise, excellent stuff.

[@KingdomsTV]

This is our first time trying animations and they were just a little test. You gotta start somewhere.
