MTG Quintessential Commander #19 | Prossh vs Meren vs Tuvasa vs Isamaru | 4-player EDH Gameplay!

[@QMTG]

What are some of your favorite commanders?? Are they the ones that first got you into commander?

[@winniewhip]

Oloro, Ageless Ascetic Now imagine my face when i saw the spoiler for Aetherflux Reservoir 😁

[@Nandel67120]

Scarab God for ever ♥️

[@carbunclegirl]

The Simic Ezuri precon got me into EDH. A quick upgrades made it even more awesome, because screw combat, drawing cards is the real endgame. And while it isn't my favourite Commander it definitely introcuded me to my favourite color combo, Simic. Tatyova is my favourite. Lands are the best. The more lands the better.

[@gaaragresnik4140]

Windgrace pulled me into commander, so it was really difficult to get a good deck running (expensive) also understanding the art of playing lands :D And Jund is just love so props to Prossh

[@MTGMuddstah]

Prossh is one of my favorites!

[@carbunclegirl]

I appreciate the effort that goes into making sure the card image that appears is the same version the player actually plays. It makes it a lot easier to read the board state. Many other EDH shows use the last printing, which sometimes has different art than what the player actually uses etc and can make the boardstates a bit confusing.

[@QMTG]

Nice to be appreciated :) I completely agree about the confusing bit

[@wedredwed000]

Ditto this!

[@Basic_pl]

Esmond: I hate myself McMillan: *closes eyes and nods nods*

[@QMTG]

Pshh

[@gccstan31]

16:45 when Mac says "trigger on the stack" and the music starts playing, so epic :D

[@carbunclegirl]

Esmond: "This episode we play our pet decks." Me: "Wait, there is no Mono Red deck, is Matt not here this episode?"

[@matty4100]

My requirement that I decided for myself a long time ago was actually not specifically mono-Red, just that it /had/ Red and that I could play it like a Red player without feeling like I was trying to force a theme that didn't work. I personally have 6 EDH decks (all the decks I've played in these videos since we partnered with Esmond except Prossh are the shop's inventory) and because I know that the red requirement locks me out of a lot of fun choices, I try very hard to make sure my decks feel distinct from each other :) - GH Matt

[@BJUPIN0002]

I think a pod full of Matthew's would be the most entertaining game ever! 😂 Awesome game as per usual!

[@QMTG]

Hahahahaha there would be wayyy too many one-liners lol

[@MstrKipper]

Might be a bit too suspicious to me

[@chiefdragoon9693]

Matthew: "I go to drawww...and these draws are CRAP." I felt that in my soul. Lmao

[@QMTG]

Ah yes, we all know that feel..

[@matty4100]

It's times like these where you realise that Esmond never watched Voltron as a young'un heh heh heh... Don't worry guys I've got enough nerd creds for both of us 🌚

[@stevenvanveelen9124]

Keep flexing those nerd creds, you're a gem :D

[@SteakOSaurier]

that was so awesome! Glad you showed what Esmonds misplayed there at the end! :P

[@QMTG]

;)

[@fel_95]

11:20 wow, you NAILED that italian, I'm impressed! fun game, keep up the good content :D

[@matty4100]

I pestered a cousin who was staying in Italy to teach me how to say it and I practiced that for 3 hours until it stuck. Prossh was my first commander and my heart's always been there, so I was extremely excited when I chanced upon that actual mint Italian Kobolds of Kher Keep card back in the day. - GH Matt

[@fel_95]

Best non-token tokens in the game! Prossh's a beast of a commander, and it sure showed in the gameplay :)

[@zacherycasey7228]

I love prossh so much. My first and still my best commander deck!

[@Egoth666]

these keep getting better and better!

[@QMTG]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!

[@donovanprasad2339]

hey esmond love the content! real quick tho land tax is a MAY. my play group and i thought it was not a may, but we realized reading the card explains the card XD. keep up the great content!

[@mudkiplvl99]

Great content! I just found out about your channel. Your EDH gameplay videos definitely deserve more views

[@QMTG]

Thanks! This algorithm-boosting comment should help 😄

[@pbhill8350]

Good stuff guys!,that was fun, it's nice to see people enjoying the game

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@dumbluck7752]

First one for me was Sliver Overlord, but my first pet deck was original Purphoros. It was very unfair ha.

[@khooginxiang6597]

Oh no, that ending GG. Esmond, I feel sorry, but also not sorry at the same time cause Mac finally stop your win streak😂

[@bartoszspytkowski129]

Always wanted to build Prossh. Really enjoyable game.

[@gaaragresnik4140]

go for it, its fun and strong ^^

[@bartoszspytkowski129]

@@gaaragresnik4140 I know. It's in fact the first deck I ever played commander with, one guy borrowed me his deck when I was just watching some games.

[@QMTG]

Glad you enjoyed it! Prossh is fun, and powerful too

[@HugoPCarvalho]

Love the game, really fun to watch you playing and now i need to make a Meren deck xD

[@lucasunverricht6253]

Underrated

[@QMTG]

Very

[@mattyuen7113]

This is such an enjoyable episode.

[@QMTG]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kairucamp]

Inspired by Liang yings deck it looks really good and isamaru is best boi

[@QMTG]

Hahahha yes indeed

[@jsun06]

Entertaining as always!

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@MrRookie33]

Can we know what was the hand you had that made you lose??

[@QMTG]

Watch the last few seconds of the video ;)

[@rafaellumrodas350]

Man!!!! That was a great video!!!

[@QMTG]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bedwarssweat6205]

Oh man I love all of these commanders Edit: I've built 3/4s of these

[@QMTG]

Nice!

[@MrRNDubleBarrel]

How do you return Sakara Tribe Elder to hand with no experience counters on turn 3? And with 1 on turn 4?

[@OracleCura]

Meren's effect returns it to the battlefield if you have experience counters amounting to more than the total cost of the creature. If you don't have enough experience counters, it returns the chosen creature to your hand.

[@Marocax]

great stuff mate

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@chriscunningham6401]

No Enchanted Evening! :O

[@shikabaneconga]

feels like Liang is playing incovenient land tribal

[@QMTG]

Lol

[@colink638]

if you have no Experience how did you get Sakura tribe elder back the first time ? xD

[@QMTG]

I believe it went to his hand?

[@hiddenleaf414]

How would Treachery have won the game on the last turn? Prossh already couldn’t block. Unless I’m missing a Haste enabler.

[@QMTG]

Treachery would've untapped 5 lands, which means more enchantment spells, making Tuvasa lethal.

[@xn85d2]

If I understand correctly, he could have played Treachery targeting Tuvasa, costing 5 mana, doing nothing except untapping 5 lands, then he could have played the rest of his turn as normal but giving Tuvasa +1 damage due to having an additional enchantment in play, which would have been exact lethal.

[@DylanCEdh]

Tuvasa?? Yo that’s my girl right there!

[@Nandel67120]

Damn it !!! I imagine it's a lot of work but why don't you have a second match ?? It's a little frustrating 25 minutes 😂

[@QMTG]

Hahaha. Yeah it's a 2-hour game edited down to 25 mins, so it is definitely way too much work for 2 games. We've done 2 games before when the games took less than an hour though

[@Michevous_Ren]

Please do a commander match with the new Strixhaven commander

[@edenheng95]

They are doing it, just a slight delay

[@QMTG]

We will! Once the cards are out :)

[@Michevous_Ren]

Now I'm excited!

[@bluecharcoal8620]

I don't think he could play puresteel paladin because single combat says "until the end of your next turn"

[@QMTG]

Oh yeah; we missed that!

[@TheeGenMagikahn]

"R.Y.D.C."

[@QMTG]

Yup
