Kykar vs Yuriko vs Maelstrom Wanderer vs Titania EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering

[@shendelzaresilkwood]

Peter's ninjas were so good at hiding we've only seen 2 briefly

[@clarkwilmerding4343]

Muddstuh said he didnt know what went wrong, but I mean it was somewhat clear. he took an opening hand without an unblockable creature then just got shit luke the rest of his game

[@DarkEinherjar]

It's easy to say what went wrong with Yuriko: Peter didn't have any unblockable creatures early on and whatever he put on the field later was pinged to death.

[@MrUnreal9111]

You think it is only the bad luck of the draw on his part? His deckbuilding choices seem very weird - swords are like win more card in Yuriko even in builds which focus around extra turns. Furthermore he kept a hand without a creature go figure out.

[@Ubermunki3]

Yuriko is always archenemy on this channel no matter how slow they're going. Storm decks are always going off uninhibited

[@DarkEinherjar]

He did keep a very bad hand... normally, you'd want a 1 CMC evasive creature to ensure a turn two Yuriko attack if it's not removed. The entire deck relies on triggering Yuriko for life loss and card advantage.

[@xMetalxSonicx]

His list is slow and cluncky.

[@LeDoubleTap]

It must be, as a yuriko player myself nearly every play had me shaking my head wondering what the hell he was trying to do. Nothing he was dropping made sense. And double hard cast Yuriko?? If that ain't a sign, idk what is.

[@grahamwarwick3079]

I’m liking this new sponsorship with Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow.

[@Karonar]

Purphoros doesnt trigger Kykar or Saheeli. It's a creature on the stack at all times.

[@adameister5883]

You're totally right! We caught that same interaction while filming, which is why no tokens were put into play.

[@LiveTheNuMetal]

I immediately stopped the video and scrolled down to the comment section to see whether someone already brought it up. Well done :D

[@Astronaughty03]

7:58 Peter learns about Self Fulfilling Prophecy's haha. "One often finds his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."

[@AQWuria9]

"Tough to say what went wrong" I saw a truck load of things that went wrong with just that list alone. -Not enough turn 1 evasive creatures -Equipments -3 drop or beyond mana rocks, too expensive to utilize in a Yuriko deck -Too many dead win more cards that don't contribute to board state -Too many expensive sorcery that ends up being dead because Yuriko will never reach the mana base to cast them in the first place

[@countbleck6075]

some cards are just good to be flipped by yuriko. Source:Draco

[@therubyskeleton1002]

100% agree I wanted to make a Yuriko deck and have been watching videos for ideas. Any suggestions?

[@MascotAtl]

You show the Sword of Feast & Famine at the end when you're talking about Kykar. I assume you meant to show Kykar there?

[@FirekingBarong]

I really like the new touches you do in the games, with a bit of nice comments On-Table and the beutiful speaking in the Intro ^^

Literally just built Kykar last week and started looking for a Muddstah video with him/her in it. Glad to see all the best cards made it onto the video!

The moment Momir Vig hit the battlefield I panicked, having flashbacks from that other game with Maelstrom Wanderer.

[@riyadtwal8726]

I think you guys forgot a Purphoros trigger when Kykar was recast and entered the battlefield.

[@DalmarWolf]

Yep

[@adameister5883]

Dang, you're right I totally missed that in the game. Good spot!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Purphoros is only NOT a creature when he's on the battlefield with not enough devotion. Everywhere else, including on the stack, Purphoros is a creature, and shouldn't trigger Kykar or Saheeli upon being cast. This is because permanent cards' abilities have no effect outside of the battlefield unless the ability itself says so or determines attributes of the card itself (for example, Lord of Extinction's ability determines its power and toughness even when it's not on the battlefield).

[@adameister5883]

You're totally right! We caught that same interaction while filming, which is why no tokens were put into play.

[@HumanEntity4]

As a Yuriko Player myself , Peter's build has a lot of flaws. I have looked over the deck lists and have noticed some strange techs to say the least. I dont know what the budget is for upgrades, but definitely more 1 or 2 mana unbloackable creatures, some cards that have haste or lighting boots to accelerate yurikos effectiveness and counter cards that wont cost mana vs dscards such as force of will, force of despair, misdirection etc. would all do wonders.

[@mongopoju]

Yeah and why would you ever keep a hand where you can't do anyhting for 5 turns as Yuriko?

[@frostymourne]

A proper Yuriko decklist requires tonnes of enablers. People seem to think that’s not really important but it is. Some proper examples can be found in mtgtop8 commander, although those are French or mtgo commander lists, the amount of enablers is a good example. Lots of 1 drop enablers Ensure yuriko gets 1-2 enablers in their opening hand and more later when needed.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Tetsuko umezawa is one of the best cards in yuriko, but I never see her/him played anywhere

[@xSpanishManx]

That Kykar gave me flashbacks to my first EDH game against Prosh. Also please keep Zedruu around, love the deck! But I can understand the need for variance!

[@samconsumespie1012]

Every time Scott plays maelstrom wanderer and then plays elves trips me up

[@IQuarent]

8:53 Purphoros is a creature when it's cast, so it wouldn't trigger Kykar and Saheeli.

[@adameister5883]

Yep! We caught that during filming which is why no tokens were put into play :)

[@Atavistic07]

Nice touch greying out the Commander image as well when a player loses the game now (if that is actually new and I've not just missed it for however many videos).

[@jorgeliecermc]

Awesome! I've been waiting to see a Kykar deck in the channel. Btw, i think you missed a purphoros trigger when kykar entered the Battlefield.

[@adameister5883]

You're right, we did. Kykar has become my favourite deck for sure. I love playing it. I've got Elsha joining the deck soon as an alternative commander.

[@jorgeliecermc]

A Name I'm gonna do the same thing, currently I'm using locust god as a second commander since the deck is heavy focused in card draw and it opens to some sweet combos with Arcane Adaptation

[@Cole444Train]

Does anyone know what commanders have appeared on the channel the most? Would be interesting to know... I bet Titania and Yuriko are up there

[@olafthemoose9413]

Not yuriko

[@zo-zu7158]

That's the most modest- 8:48 Nevermind then

[@Te_LaSoul]

Seems like there was some weird threat assessment this game. Yuriko, basically got focused the whole time which let Kykar and the Wanderer keep their engines on the table. Lot of scary commanders tho, so I get it.

[@andrewlaverghetta715]

I felt like the Maelstrom Wanderer was incredibly powerful here and the deck was really strong. I'm glad they were able to reel him in. I checked this out because I just picked up Kykar just to add to my collection, though I probably won't actually build the deck.

[@quinoacowboy]

I'm so happy to see a Tsabo's Decree!! I pulled that as one of my first rares back during Invasion.

[@SacredMagic13679]

Adam shouldn't have gotten tokens from casting Purphoros, as Purphoros is a creature while it's on the stack, but resolves as a non creature due to its devotion requirement not being met. Saheeli and Kykar both specifically say 'noncreature' spell, meaning Purphoros would not qualify. Ultimately, it wasn't gamebreaking, but hey, rules are rules.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Sacred Truth Good catch! Mistakes do happen, but we appreciate you pointing that out.

If you could implement a counter reel somewhere to tell whose turn it is would be awesome since your videos are really fast pace.

Scott should have played the dork first. Turn 2, he can tap it to wild growth a land and still have 3 mana for the Elvish Archdruid.

[@RazorRX750]

Never been this early! And another Yuriko feature match :) Edit: that was a sad game for Yuriko

[@RPGFanboy14]

I feel like there was some odd threat assessment in the late game. Seems odd that Peter and Scott were going after one another when Adam was the clear threat at that point. Still super fun game and Mudsta when introducing Yuriko why not go "It's the Cowabunga girl Yuriko" or something to that effect lol

[@dominicanastasi200]

I know Scott was probably thinking you were going to punch him in the face with Marit Lage next turn, but in some way I almost felt he should've started knocking at Adam with that damage instead of you. considering that you only had 5 life at the time, chances are Adam was going to burn your life down with Purphoros anyways. Still, I'm always looking for ways to break Kykar so it was nice watching this game.

About Zedruu VS Kykar, the latter has more explosive/combo potential and doesn't rely on giving your stuff to your opponents, so I think it's the superior one... By the way, Kykar + Karmic Guide + Body Double = infinite red mana. :)
