[@WildWolfGod]

My friend who usually plays either Mono White or White Black played a Green, White, Red Commander and he was like "Is this what having Mana feels like?!"

[@GaioSamurai]

Literally me. I play White or Boros, mostly. Then, I dropped into Naya and went, "Holy shit! How is my hand empty? I cast all that? Oh my god! This is awesome!"

[@ML-yn9yu]

Land tax!!!

[@GaioSamurai]

@@ML-yn9yu Smothering tithe, Monologue tax too.

[@einstein951]

Normally play Gruul/Naya and played a simic deck recently and went "is this what having cards is like?" with a quarter of the deck in hand

[@travismurtland3257]

I just had my Rakdos buddy play Golgari and he thought it was wild to have so much money

"Maldhound Becomes a Green Player" - Watched. Liked. Loved. Take my engagement. I'm sold on this.

Joining in on the engagement.

[@lolimmune]

I see maldhound. I engage.

[@kingofbudokai]

17:56 Worth noting here that the first card Mald chooses to claim from the revealed non-land should have been copied due to ToH Adventurer's ability, and the fact that Etali has you CAST those spells, not merely put them into play. The requirement is not "cast from hand" merely, "cast 2nd spell", so one of those cards should have been a 2 of. Notably, this would have offered him the option of a second crested sunmare, which would make each other indestructible, thus both surviving the damnation that come down the following turn. Small mistakes are one thing, but that was a HUGE game-changing whiff that nobody caught (to be clear, I'm aware Mald didn't build the deck and was not familiar with the cards, I'm not criticizing him per se, but that does not negate the massive impact such a mistake had on the overall outcome of the game.) Edit: On a separate note, that is the greatest Apex Devastator cascade I've ever seen lol. That was so sick. I was rooting for Mald so hard after that.

[@Shawn-f3x]

It’s funny you mention duping Crested Sunmare. I actually run a Bramble Sovereign in my Lathiel list because there are so many busted things in there that get insane. So many great targets, but yeah Crested Sunmare duped is a super-performer. Heck, just duping the best Soul Sisters is worth it. Lathiel’s a list you can just keep on optimizing w/ better creatures.

The fact that “ovipositor” made me think of Alien and not hentai makes me feel surprisingly normal.

[@nunyabusiness3957]

Reminder to Maldhound: Etali ETB also exiles for himself.

[@sethronalter5178]

Mauldhound is confirmed a green player now since he got to resolve a Zendicar Resurgent into Apex Dvastator.

[@drunkduck]

Seeing Joe and Maldhound in the same game was top shelf stuff. Love the content.

[@harutakami1313]

fun misplay at 18:50. Mald cast his second spell, so he should have gotten *two* Crested Sunmares from Tomb of Horrors Adventurer. Both of "his" Horses should, indeed, have had indestructible.

[@anthonybrainwood8015]

Huge missed trigger on the Maldhound's Tomb of Horrors Adventurer to copy the Crested Sunmare on cast.

[@imthehuman]

Great episode! I love the energy Joe Cherries brings to the table, and Mauldhound is as entertaining as ever!

[@curtissearle6462]

Good to see Joe and hope he's doing well! Also always glad to see Mald man's an absolute legend.

[@nephdrummond3168]

Joe’s pronouns are they/them but yeah they’re both fantastic

[@hanschristopherson8056]

Love to see joe cackling while watching mald pop off with joe’s deck

[@zino1089]

Lathiel cant put counters on itself 19:09

[@Maximagine11]

Ty

[@Shawn-f3x]

Everyone misses that limitation for a while. Just like ppl new to playing Good Heliod frequently miss counter-add life gain triggers during complicated turns.

[@EpicDinosaur862]

Now, I'm just waiting for Mauldhound to play a mono green deck.

[@9juju6]

Or Simic. His hatred of and rants on U/G nourish my soul, and that’s my favorite color combo.

[@J3str-z9w]

@@9juju6lol. Simic is my favorite too. It has blue tho, so there may be a chance. He played URG now so idk

[@MechanizedMinionMTG]

Really thought that One Ring was going to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Excellent game as always.

[@babaXIII]

How is Veggie saying he's gonna play with his mom somehow more of a "phrasing" moment than Maldhound talking about my commander's parts.

[@markuswelander8551]

Because your commander is a card and his mom is a person.

[@beepboprobotsnot3748]

And also, it’s not “phrasing” if that’s exactly what he means.

[@acetraker1988]

Nerdgirl missed lifegain trigger on 2 spiders entering and others.

[@Shawn-f3x]

Game like this one really sold me on Robe of Stars, piloting Lathiel. The Teferi’s/Clever Concealment route is generally fine, but stuff like Edict-recursion or someone just being loaded up on removal really makes you appreciate cards like Robe and Shalai, Voice of Plenty. Great game, all of you! :)

[@madmax258285]

I honestly miss Joe on the nitpicking needs I'm glad to see him looking happy playing magic on this channel

[@nephdrummond3168]

Joe uses they/them pronouns, but yeah it’s really cool seeing them play magic again

[@Utenlok]

Clicked for Maldhound and got Joe Cherries as well? Hell yeah. Your production, descriptions, pacing, and chatter are all right at the right levels as usual. You guys always seem to get the right balance.

[@diegoperezsommariva2509]

What a fun game and great people in this one! I miss joe Cherries a lot. You know if he is streaming or making content somewhere? I wish the best for Joe!!

[@nephdrummond3168]

Joe uses they/them pronouns, I don’t know if they’re streaming but there’s a little content on their channel Everything Video Game Channel

[@Dervalanana]

Did mald miss a tomb of horrors adventurer proc after casting Etali? He couldve picked any one of the spells to duplicate (probably the horse so they could make each other indestructible)

[@nicolbolas5934]

I only does it after you complete a dungeon I'm pretty sure

[@markbrierley6367]

After you complete a dungeon it does 2 copies. Before it does 1 copy. In each instance it only works for your second spell. So, yes he should have copied one of the spells flipped with Etali. 2 horses would have been very strong.

[@Dervalanana]

@markbrierley6367 I don't think there was a single exile effect used so he would've always had 2 5/5 indestructible blockers. Unless someone was holding up an exile for such a point. That said, I don't think he ever gained life either, so it would've just been the 2

[@markbrierley6367]

@@Dervalanana Nerdgirl used a swords on the orc army, but yes very different game if resolved properly. He might have grabbed some lifegain off the Mind's Dilation if the game played out differently. It happens. Magic is hard.

[@kingofbudokai]

​@@markbrierley6367 Whiffing on a mind's dilation is NOT the same thing as missing a trigger from your own board. When they are minor mistakes (like missing 1 card draw, or 2 life, etc.) it's usually not that big a deal, but giving Mald a board that CAN'T be board wiped without exile, especially with the hindsight that only 1 exile effect happened all game long, is a MASSIVE change in how the game played out. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should hate on the players (they were playing with decks they didn't build after all) but it's also not something that should be written off so casually when it was a huge deal.

[@nerfedirl]

Tbh he became a green player after playing Henzie afaik

[@Mrkoala2211]

19:10 Worth noting that Lathiel specify *others* creature so you can't buff her with her own ability :"

[@Beckola44]

WOW......what a crazy game. Everyone had good boards. Congrats Veggie. Thank you Nerd Girl, Maldhound, Joe Cherries, and Veggie Wagon for the video.

[@NickHinman-y4t]

These are some great decks. I've been wanting to make a life gain deck and this might be the inspiration I needed.

[@markbrierley6367]

Commander is complex. Magic is hard. Nobody catches everything. Here's things to watch out for in your own games. The owner of triggers stacks them, not the active player. They stack in turn order so they resolve in reverse turn order. Lathiel cannot target herself with her own ability. Taking the initiative is a trigger. You can only respond to the trigger with instants, instant speed abilities, or flash spells. The Tomb of Horrors Adventurer copies your second spell of the turn once if you haven't completed a dungeon and twice if you have. Discarding to hand size is in the clean up step. Make sure you let your opponents respond to end step first.

Is there a card in magic that acts like Yugioh’s Owner’s seal? Where it would return cards to their original owner?

[@notshotgun4852]

Yes. Most cards that bounce permanents to hands, return them to their owners hands/graveyards instead of player controlling them controllers. Also there is a land called [Homeward Path] that when tapped returns all *creatures* to their owners control instead of sending them to hand.

[@shadexvii3975]

@@notshotgun4852 I see. Cool

[@maximillionchaoswolf]

theres a few of cards that do exactly that I believe some of them have other effects too and those see more play. also in addition to the bouncing mentioned above theres blinking/flickering where you exile the cards then return it to the battlefield after in which case it will always return to its owners side.
