[@vitamimd_devourer3364]

That's a rare spell

[@DarkEinherjar]

Can we take a moment to be amused by the fact that Matt used an infinite mana combo to draw into another infinite mana combo, and only then into a wincon?

[@DarkEinherjar]

You know what they say... can't spell "overkill" without "ok".

[@julianhugen8760]

Mike's play strategy hurt my eyes. Milling the opponent in response a living death was so painful.

[@DarkEinherjar]

He milled the voltron player, who generally doesn't have many creatures in the deck to begin with. But yeah, Mike should've milled himself instead for extra creatures.

I would've laughed so hard if Kozilek or the first Ulamog got milled and caused another reshuffle...

[@diasmusempal]

Eiii. A weiss schwarz card. Moreover its kancolle's bismarck signed card. Ryan is a man of culture as well.

[@aarong2606]

Not sure if matt jumped the gun but when Mike cast living death just remember it is scummy to not mention when you are holding priority immediately after you cast the spell. If you want to have effects with the sacrifices you need to do them before allowing a different response...don't wait and see responses and then react...again matt may have been too quick but just because this is a major issue outside of just this game

[@Mr2ndAmendment27]

I'm currently in the process of building this beautiful Korvold deck myself... Typical Jund fun with a couple of infinite wincons .. geeshum... I'm in... Allll the way in!!

Olivia is an underrated commander

[@MajuGen]

9:16 Why Kozi not shuffle Graveyard into Library? Edit: I see this happens later.

[@Tehnameless1]

Fun fact about Winds of Abandon: commanders going to command zone won't get a basic. It looks for creatures "exiled this way". Epic game! Feliz Navidad to all! Edit: I stand corrected

[@DarkEinherjar]

Yes, they will. Winds of Abandon's rulings: "If a creature is exiled but ends up in another zone (most likely because it’s a player’s commander in the Commander variant), it’s still a “creature exiled this way” for Winds of Abandon."

Temur and Dockside feels like a conditional infinite mana combo.

[@AstridCeleste96]

It is conditional, just a pretty easy to reach condition.

[@DarkEinherjar]

It is. It requires the opponents to have five or more artifacts and enchantments on the field.

[@AidanWR]

I had literally never heard of Mirage Mirror until I've seen it played about 100 times on this channel

[@Happymasks]

Merry Christmas and thank you for this gift.

[@obed6901]

Mike, you are reanimator, you are not going to win by spreading out mill. You are also an aggro deck. What's with the spreading around the damage?

[@ichiel1898]

you know, some people play to have fun, not to necessarily win

[@obed6901]

i am a casual magic player. my commander decks are only fives. i woald still try too win though. I see your point, it can be fun to mess around with your commander decks.

[@willemboele2079]

@@ichiel1898 actively making bad plays isn't "trying to have fun", it's playing poorly

[@DeadBuiltLikeGoblinLackey]

Is that Korvold deck built around food chain? Or does it just run the food chain loops cuz it can? I would think Food Chain would be a dead card in the deck unless its comoing, just curious.

[@AstridCeleste96]

It's pretty good for sacrifice triggers outside of it having infinite potential.

[@DarkEinherjar]

If the deck makes a lot of tokens, these could be used to provide extra mana in a pinch. But yeah, the focus of the deck is actually the Food Chain combo.

[@kdchmln]

9:15 wow that's a pretty bad mistake missing that kozilek gy trigger.

[@puffin-onehandedgamer1164]

I would love to see what a slightly more budget version of that Korvold deck would look like. the problem is, if Yawgmoth's will is a very important combo piece, you cannot make it budget, because, well, it costs 70 $, but if you can live without that card, you can make it more budget by trading gaea's gradle for Growing rites of itlemoc. Grim monolith, mox diamond and mana crypt for Arcane signet, Rakdos signet and golgari or gruul signet. vampiric tutor for diabolic intent and so on and so on. the deck speed would be nerfed and the deck would be worse, but the price would be dropped down by a whole lot as well.

[@Bowlerbike]

Speaking as a Korvold player, Yawgmoth's Will isn't very important at all to the combo. Just make sure you're running a few Regrowth effects and you'll be golden

[@UnholyEredir]

I never knew goblin bombardment can ping planeswalkers....

[@MultiTaz333]

I'm gonna need to know where you got that zombie gatewatch playmate from

[@esperderek5383]

Man. What were they thinking with Temur Sabertooth. Such a great and unfair card that I've shamelessly used myself.

[@Big_Dai]

I'd say the treasure Goblin is worse

[@DarkEinherjar]

Why would it be unfair? The combo with Dockside Extortionist we see here is situational, and other combos I see with it seem to require four or more cards, which is far from broken.

[@TheJustinist]

Unless Matt has a way to get rid of his own Korvold, wont he draw himself to death? Korvold isnt a may ability and if you sac a treasure in response to his trigger, you get another trigger.

[@jamiemerriman8587]

He can just exile it to the food chain to stop drawing

[@TheJustinist]

@@jamiemerriman8587 Ahh, right. Forgot food chain was out

[@tobiaswagner1404]

Or bounce it with the Sabertooth

[@DarkEinherjar]

He can bounce Korvold with Sabertooth, exile it with Food Chain or eventually draw into the Goblin Bombardment he shuffled back into the deck so he can sac it. Even if he didn't have those, he can sac the treasures one by one and stack the triggers so that the damage from Mayhem Devil will resolve before Korvold's draw trigger, allowing him to pop another treasure between triggers after the damage is dealt, so he does all the damage before drawing any cards.

[@mikehebert5647]

Love your content!

[@demonicgrub1025]

Err, didn't matt mill himself? In order to ping everyone at the table to death he needed to sacrifice way more permanents than he had cards in deck. There was a way for him to play around this, sacing off the korvold, but at very least he didn't do that in the video, and he should have lost.

[@Darren1004]

He simply didn't let the draw triggers resolve. When he sacced a treasure, the Mayhem Devil ping and the korvold draw trigger went on the stack. He Let the damage ping resolve first, held priority and sacced another treasure to continue the combo.

[@demonicgrub1025]
