Minsc vs Aragorn vs Pantlaza vs Talion | CEDH Gameplay

[@DarkEinherjar]

Whoa... not opening with the usual lightning intro and the sponsor caught me off guard. **game is interrupted by the sponsor** Please don't do this again. It's already annoying enough when the regular ads interrupt the videos. At least put the sponsor between different games to avoid disrupting the flow.

[@adamantlotus]

I definitely agree. I always skip ads in the middle, but the ads at the beginning feel fine and I'm willing to watch them.

[@-johnald-]

I also agree. All for trying new things and seeing what works, though I'd suggest against mid roll adds

[@BradleyAidanJohnson]

I’d have to agree. Hard to keep tabs on the game with the ad right in the middle. Was debating whether to say or not since everyone has to pay the bills after all

[@vroomzoom4206]

Yeah they thought they could stop people from skipping it by hiding it, then having it show up with no warning.

[@genyrik35]

Definitely. There’s already so much going on to keep up with, having a major ad break in the middle really disrupts the flow of the video

[@sirswag4931]

Nah Drannith Majistrate did way too much work to not get mentioned. Seriously brutal

[@noidea5129]

shut down almost the whole game

[@marcelolima70]

Ajani simply could play this game because of Dranith. 1 card shutting down a whole player its definily a card to be consider to mvp.

[@johnmark3977]

The most valuable card should have gone to drannith magistrate 100% it would have been a completely different game if Ashani could have cast Talion. But drannith single-handedly removed a player from the game.

[@Joolenplus]

Mid game ad starts at 4:45 and ends at 5:55

[@josiahblakely51]

Hero

[@evanczthehunter57]

Hopefully they NEVER do that again. God sponsorships are already annoying enough without them abruptly interrupting games

[@vroomzoom4206]

​@evanczthehunter57 yeah it was annoying af.

[@chrisvanderheiden12]

Yeah, that mid game add is not great. The placement may have been part of the sponsorship deal, but just not a great watching experience. Maybe for videos with two games, but right in the middle of a game is bleh.

[@morsdraconis]

For those wondering and not seeing the line, Ashani was setup for turn 2 Talion but the Drannith got put down right before he could play his commander, thus it looked like he fed fish for nothing when in actuality he was giving him two cards for the trade off of getting his commander in quickly and most likely, in the long run, out gaining him in value.

[@charlesmaillho367]

Ashani does not consider opponents plays when making his own. If he did, and especially in dimir, he should have had a counterspell in hand ready for anything but as always, he's unprepared and underwhelms at the table.

[@marcelolima70]

@@charlesmaillho367 He had a counterspell in hand. He used it when Force of Vigor tried to destroy the mana he would need to cast his commander the turn later.

[@noidea5129]

Ashanis opening hand was just a one way ticket to his draw engine commander. He lost everything after Drannith was played.

[@aidanmclaughlin3940]

so happy to see some different and interesting commanders in this one!

[@wesleypollek4637]

I was almost worried that Minsc was never going to activate for x =0, great showing from Drannith to make the early game feel like a casual standoff

[@chifii]

I kinda wish Matt didn't get the combo and just killed everyone with Serra Ascendant beats. Also, please don't do mid-video ads.

[@Crustgg]

Please don’t put an ad mid-game again. I actually watch them when applicable if they’re at the start. Great video as usual, otherwise!

[@potofgreed673]

I enjoy your videos, but please do not do a mid-game sponsor again. I'd prefer it either before or after the game as it ruins the flow of the game.

[@TokuHer0]

I enjoy the content Playing with Power provides, but if I could provide feedback, I don't feel that a mid-GAME ad break works well. It breaks the flow of the game. If there is to be a mid roll add, I think it would be best placed in a situation where the video does multiple games and have it there, in a "Before we move into the next game..." kind of segway

[@TheGrifcannon22]

Great game, did not like the mid game sponsor. Can we avoid that in the future please?

[@scottplayznlaugh]

i like that sperling blocked at the end still LOL. great games boys

[@cameronbustos6059]

Dranith magistrate was hands down the MVP. literally stopped the game

[@tommytoes2738]

Hey guys, I’ve been a minsc pilot for a long time! This is not the current minsc list that has been putting up results. I would love to see a current list against top level decks instead of mid-power. Always love your content, thanks for your hard work!!

[@Lorry_Draws]

Hey is there a minsc discord or an up to date list anywhere?

[@Tkellz62]

The game was good except for the mid-roll ad with no warning. It messed up the flow of the gameplay.

[@NirDine]

The ad felt a little invasive, like it came out of nowhere.

[@thedevilcomes2011]

Love your content and have so for a LONG time but the midroll baked add placement was a little cringe, please do it at the top or tail of the vid as it really interrupts the gameflow.

[@tegarsatriyo2443]

Maybe you can put the ads on the begining or after the game ..

[@Broken_Colossus]

Honestly would love to see a game with shelai & Hallar cedh. The commander goes infinite with a kitchen sink and has access to great stax!

[@christiancornier9357]

Can someone tell Ashani he always plays the best decks? Big fan whenever he's on the table. (And one of the best playmats I've ever seen XD)

[@Zip_yermouth]

Crazy different type of Cedh. Much more EDH than C

[@Dizzy0422]

Did not like the ad in the middle breaking up the action... Other than that fantastic gameplay.

[@DarknessChampion]

Ashani Windfall into Otawara, Soaring City for Ethersworn Canonist into whatever helps to keep him in game?

[@hawkicelol]

played minsc @ silicon dynasty, love that deck so much!!! never seen sneak attack in the 99, super spicy! think matt shoulda just activated minsc and swing that turn. gg great content as always

[@TripsAhoy]

Its Hamster time baby! ❤❤❤

[@True_Ronin]

Def not a fan of commercials right in the middle. 😐

[@trveheimer6360]

played a turbo version of minsc, i think i still have it sleeved up.

[@Levoid1]

I was rooting for the beatdown win, but seeing an unconventional deck compete is fun regardless. I once won a cEDH game with a (non-cEDH) Boros keywords deck and I felt like a god.

[@martinkodet6429]

Love the add in the middle of the video, I'll just assume it ends there.

[@kellyperry5009]

Love seeing the off meta decks, great game 🙌

[@Haya12234]

To test, whether a commander is EDH viable, the pot should be more meta, like blue farm, kinnan, kenny..

[@tking5218]

Talion was the only "meta deck". Dino was interesting but probably not the best idea for the pod.

[@Imawesomedude20]

Wasnt serra’s ascendant already a 6/6? Why was Matt activating minsc for less than that?

[@LegoMyachi]

It’s a 1/1 that gets +5/+5 so by changing its base P/T to 2/2 it became a 7/7

[@floridaman6982]

Damn this game was excellent

[@Joolenplus]

Is there a reason why the fish was fed turn 1 when the play could have just been land pass? There was no follow up to playing the petal or chrome that turn. Not a knock on anyone or anything, just curious.

[@marcelolima70]

Many stax decks on the table. Any of them could run Rule of Law effects. (what ended happening a little after)

[@joshlin8002]

That mid add was awful..

[@CoffeeKen]

Can anyone explain why Ashani got tunneled so hard?

[@tking5218]

It was honestly just turn order with the turn two Drannith more than anything. The fact it didn't get the most valuable card is laughable. The beats that came in afterward are probably mostly because Ashani didn't have a blocker.

[@SubSonicEctomorph]

Naya stax is the best! Eat it, blue! 😅

[@shaunbarber2325]

Great game! Respectfully, if you keep doing mid-game ads I will stop watching.

[@Pyroshax]

Really not a fan of where the ad is

[@joshbailey7775]

GO FOR THE LIKE BOO GO FOR THE LIKES.

[@GoblinB055]

Nothing better than seeing players turn creatures sideways

[@dexplosion1]

Bro........10 turns with Drannith? Jesus lord that is unlucky. I feel for Ashani, homie didn't deserve that.

[@twi1ightknight]

dem beats

[@bl4ckl8tus]

I don't really get why Ashani got focused on since he kinda did nothing the whole game lmao

[@damienbrandle4839]

It's because they didn't want to turn on the Bloodchief Ascension. That card does nasty stuff when it comes online.

[@AlbertJanVaartjes]

Plus, he might run Ad Naus, so that's less life to get to a combo (piece)

[@F1reProof]

I dont know why Ashani would feed turn 1 into the fish, when he just had to play a chrome mox and lotus petal with no other follow up for a potential turn 2 commander. Feels kinda weird

[@Joolenplus]

I'm guessing because there's rule of law decks at the table but idk. I think I'd just cast them turn 2 if I had to.

[@marcelolima70]

playing against 3 stax decks its reason enough to try put your Remora at Home in play as soon as possible.

[@tking5218]

He kept the hand on turn 2 Talion against two dork decks that don't really feed it. He would be behind on that keep. The Force of Vigor is what I honestly questioned more.

[@AidanWR]

Minsc being able to kill Boo is such a flavor fail

[@CoffeeKen]

Not a fan of the mid-game sponsor, that sucked.

[@mike1313132003]

Midroll ad is probably enough to get me to unsubscribe

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Okay understood. We wish you the best.

[@Orelusz]

what? Ethersworn!? Drannith magistrate is the obvious one this time! cmon!

[@ArmanyteGX]

That mid game ad was jarring please don't do that again.

[@nvrwake]

I actually clicked on the sponsor link and got a "page not found". Your sponsor is trying to bamboozle you.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

[@gabrielbalannik1407]

The most disruptive ad of all time

[@jamescraig1667]

If you run a mid-game ad like that again, I’m going to stop watching. Absolutely terrible, do better.

[@filipi2338]

Bad game …

[@TheBadass98]

That ad was REALLY bad

[@drew941]

What tf was sperling thinking? Helping Matt take out their other opponents all game when there is 0 chance this glorified casual pantlaza deck can beat a stax/pod list 1 on 1. Both want to stax the pod out, but one tries to win with damage or food chain and the other has actual good combos and rol

[@angellopez6475]

Minsc stax is a mistake

[@Lorry_Draws]

Why?

[@Jesterofyugi]

Some of these peeps complaining about the ad spot feel like gen z kids. Growing up in the 90s you got ads in the middle all day long. Had no complaints about it myself, but man Ashani got destroyed by that Drannath which from what everyone says is surprisingly not the mvp???
