[@TotalTimoTime]

I feel like Dollar Store Brian Kiblers deck was not very well balanced compared to the others at the table. Two card infinite, a lot of tutors, Elesh Norn next to Glunsh… I feel sorry for Patch!

[@PhantomOfNorleras]

yeah tutoring in an infinite is about the lamest thing you can do tutors in general go against the spirit of singleton format

[@FallenStarFeatures]

cEDH channel Play to Win's list of rules for Casual Commander deck construction: * NO infinite loops * NO "I win right now" cards * NO mana-positive rocks (except Sol Ring) * NO land producing more than one mana * NO tutors less than 3 mana cost * NO free counterspells * NO card priced over $100 Needless to say, Kyle's $2700 Rocco deck fails to meet multiple casual EDH guidelines. Nevertheless, last year the Play to Win gang invited Kyle over for a round of Casual Commander: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnLRqotjjMpmm7s True to form, Kyle plays a $1400 cEDH deck with Karn, Legacy Reformed (add one mana for each artifact), a 5-drop commander he slips into play after tapping only 3 mana(!) The guys let this blunder pass (cuz hey, it's just "casual" right?), after which Kyle drops the rest of his hand into play. He soon casts notorious stax artifact Ward of Bones, which prohibits others from playing more creatures, artifacts, enchantments, or lands than Kyle has in play. Next turn, he casts a Strip Mine and proceeds to create an infinite loop with a zero-cost Sensei's Divining Top, which he exploits to draw 15 cards at once, ending the game with Aetherflux Reservoir. IMO, the only way this episode fell short of perfection was in failing to rechristen the show: "Pay to Win with Kyle Hill". A few highlights: $120 - Metalworker $200 - Mana Crypt $280 - Grim Monolith

[@brendanlieberman3752]

Kyle's Rocco list is extremely close to just a cedh list

[@caseyfurey1348]

It was a lame ending to the match. But if prof had played the correct choice and just cloned Elesh Norn, that combo wouldn't have been possible. A lot of shuffle up and play videos come down to bad threat assessment strategic misplays and "you hit me so i have to hit you" banter

[@ashiaka2776]

Small misplay at 46:57, is the Undercover Operative comes into play as a copy of Volrath, then it is a 7/5 Nazgul and survives the Elesh Norn, all the counters still happens, AND still has Volrath's Copy Ability with counters, and returns to being a Nazgul instead of Volrath when the effect ends. Silly fun interaction.

[@h1h0n3y]

46:30 Prof can choose Operative to copy the Volrath Nazgul instead of Spark Nazgul, if he do so it won't die because the 7/5 from Volrath copy ability is copiable value. Also if Operative was copying the 1/2 Nazgul, it will die before the ring tempts you trigger resolved, thus only Spark Nazgul and Volrath Nazgul will trigger from the rings tempt you (2 counters each instead of 3).

[@damonlouis6536]

MAYBE when given ONE restriction of don't run infinite combos is stipulated you should follow the rules. I think this is because MAYBE people don't like to see predictable boring outcomes, like what we where just subjected to. I find this particularly mind numbing when the tutor for said combo, is automatically in your hand to start the game. It's a singleton format for a reason, ONE that I doubt you understand.@@thetimebinder

[@thetimebinder]

@@damonlouis6536 I agree there was a failure of Rule 0 since TierZoo was told to not run infinite combos yet Kyle did. As to infinite combos being boring, that is merely a preference. Plenty of people find infinite combos (both playing them and trying to stop them) to be exciting and fun.

[@Is_It_Chris]

@@thetimebinderYou can have very expensive lands and still be a casual deck just like how a competitive deck can win with $15 cards (Thoracle Consultation). Casual vs Competitive has nothing to do with the cost of a deck.

[@thetimebinder]

@@Is_It_Chris casual decks can run infinite combos. Infinite combos don't make a deck cedh.

[@Error404Nemonotfound]

​​@@thetimebinderYeah, but having a commander tutor to pull out the infinate combo kind of is. Or at least its a bit of a jerk move, especially when they had another player take out an infinite combo. Like the point of a casual game is to be able to run fun, thematic decks where you don't need all of the counterspells and removal because theoretically another player shouldn't be running a infinite combo deck with tutors.

[@craig1287]

@@thetimebinder Dual lands don't make a deck competitive. Tutors increase the consistency of a deck (specifically in a singleton format), and combos mean that you 100% win if you're opponents are not running efficient interaction. Both of these are the two primary aspects of what makes cEDH competitive. The third being fast mana, but not mana fixing like duals.

[@moomoo733]

I do feel like Kyle Hill took most of the time talking and, not being fan of self-depreciative and sometimes almost agressive jokes, I couldn't enjoy the episode as much as I expected. Also, having the only deck as the table which is : "tuto from deck combo pieces to insta-win", felt very disappointing when everybody seemed to have a fun deck for multiplayer. Between prof and his "i could copy elesh norn but really i will stick to all nazgul" to Anna Margaret being "i like cats ! let's do cats !" and Tier Zoo having a gluntch deck that I was talking about just before watching the show as one of the group hug commander i would really enjoy to play, there were lots of fun things. Seeing "tuto -> esper" into "tuto combo kiki-jiki / felidar guardian" was just... yeah ok you win. But what I most got was the "i play to win" / "my commander seems to hate everything and i relate to this" vibe. Also felt like with how much he talked, loudly, and gathered all the attention, that other people at the table couldn't express things they wished to. I also love when people talk about what they like, so I did really appreciate people talking about their passions and past, and I wish it was more encouraged by everybody. I love seeing people having a good time together and finding other people who like them sharing what they like. So yeah, not personal, in that I don't know Kyle Hill at all and he may be a wonderful person, but this episode I was excited to watch with friends turned out to leave a kind of bitter feeling at the end. I hope other people enjoyed it though and most of all that all people playing it did too.

I'm right with you and there are a lot of comments also stating similar discomfort with his behavior.

Yeah considering the prof made tierzoo remove his combo piece's from his deck.

I unironically love the facts sprinkled through the game
