How many land drops did every miss? I still think it'd be better to play more lands than rely on rocks

[@Kestral287]

@@alecrodriguez3969 If my quick glance is correct the only person to miss a land game 1 was Seth. So the only missed land drop had nothing to do with ramp. Edit - Phil missed his turn 7 land too, after having normally very safe card draw disrupted, but it's fairly doubtful that that mattered at all.

I've tried watching other commander game channels, but nothing beats MTGgoldfish. (Tolarian Academy are aight because of the prof's charisma). You got ONE behind the scene where they explain the goal of each of their decks in 1 minutes or less, then they just play the game and show a "printed" version of the card when they play one. -nothing obnoxious to cut the flow of the video -No overacted, forced "jokes" to clip bait -No exaggerated SFX -No random behind the scenes to explain EACH play like it's a damned documentary (what the hell is that) -Friendly banter that doesn't drag over 20 minutes. I can't express how more fun the MTG goldfish videos are to watch than other channels.

One of my friends has a Norin deck, and I absolutely abhor it. Every time he plays it I exclusively target him for everything. Seth's Norin deck gave the same feeling as my friend's deck, well done Seth.

[@PalPlays]

Richard having 1 nonland permanent on the field on turn 4 is funny to me.

[@imaginarymatter]

To be fair, that's his MO. Establish slowly on the board state with things like bounce lands, tapped utility lands, durdle ramp, etc and let his opponents develop at a normal speed. Then -- because of the nature of casual commander -- when Phil and Seth spend resources attacking each other Richard is left with an advantageous position.

[@DayOfCasual]

Richard plays like their pods have 3x Shatterstorm, 3x Vandalblast and 3xAnzrag's Rampage in each of their decks.

its even funnier when u realise that was technically his turn 5

[@Kestral287]

​@@imaginarymatter Oh it's absolutely his MO. And you can see how well it works when the other decks do anything reasonable here. The point is that his MO doesn't work unless everyone is durdling. He goes over the top of other durdle decks, which works well in the normal Goldfish meta, but the moment someone bothers to be proactive he dies.

​@@Valdreag17 but he couldn't gain life via lifelink because Phil copied the Rampaging Ferocidon with his Machine God's Effigy

[@Waldan.Forestwood]

So today we saw Richard’s theory on mana production completely backfire. He spent his mid game turns playing weird ramp that meant quicker decks killed him before he was able to do anything with all his mana. He built a deck that should have played mana rocks, he needed to ramp early so he can control the board and his 3 and 4 mana ramp failed to get him in a position to compete. I generally AGREE with Richard’s hot takes but I think in a deck without land ramp, or a way to wipe all permanents off the board (farewell, white sweepers) his theory falls flat. He should’ve just played a couple rocks. His general theory of ramp by any means into sweepers is solid theory but you can see how bad the plan is when you only have half of it in your deck. Finally I would note the Richard’s decks have become so homogeneous that they are boring. His ramp package and plans are the same for every deck so we see a solemn and ojar Oxanal (the red ixalan god) and other tools every game instead of seeing variance like we do from Seth and Tomer. Love the content, love this casting, thanks guys.

[@CthulhuBut2FeetTall]

I'm not sure why he's not abusing cards that break parity if he's so hellbent on playing weird land ramp? Shatterstorm and similar effects are very strong if it can't set you back on mana. Put your money where your mouth is and blow up the rocks.

[@onefightone]

realest comment

[@DylanHunter64]

This is kind of a bad take ngl, Tomer was ramping and developing his board, had his commander trigger multiple times, and was playing artifacts, and he literally died to the exact same thing as Richard. Goes to show that you can spew a bunch of permanents onto the board or not, but if Gayruda just does it's thing, you're gonna die anyways. Idk why everyone is so gungho to harp on Richard on this sample of 1 when it literally is just fine most weeks and they just have to deal with it.

[@CthulhuBut2FeetTall]

@DylanHunter64 because everyone else played a dynamic game of commander and Richard just died twice.

[@DylanHunter64]

@@CthulhuBut2FeetTall He died twice because the second game was against the same decks. Norin is uniquely hard to deal with and Gayruda just needs to etb for stuff to get insane. People forget that Norin used to be a lot of people's most hated deck because it's super effective and slippery and a lot of decks (including Tomer's) had a hard time dealing with it.

[@Jwhiz24]

I think it's time to discuss adding the one ring to your house ban list.

[@yggdr9sil]

Seconding this. A card that passes the groan test (for players and viewers) that's an auto-slot in literally any deck? Its time to get rid of it.

[@alexanderwaller7354]

Palantir of Orthanc could slot in place of One Ring, its more exciting as a viewer.

[@chickenwyngs3646]

In my playgroup Palantir just draws a card every turn

[@Tyabann]

they should add Farewell to the house ban list so Richard can play a real deck

[@commanderpower99]

Richards ramped twice in Izzet and had nothing on board. How could he have lost?

[@SonnigesDeutschland]

True! According to Richard himself on literally every podcast, he was a hundred percent to win that game.

[@DylanHunter64]

What's even the point of this comment? Tomer ramped a bunch, played his commander and was doing exactly what his deck wanted, and he literally died to the exact same thing. What he did was basically moot because Phil's Gayruda went nutso

[@tribalmattersmtg5532]

The Tome and The One Ring was really interesting to see that the “cool synergy” with the Commander card was less good than the generically powerful FIRE designed Ring.

[@Lucarioguild7]

I thought the same thing, cool synergy card that was built up over like 4 turns instantly outclassed

[@_claymore]

yeah it's a shame. individual cards should never be stronger than two cards that synergise. sadly that's not how it is.

[@jochenkirn9468]

It was terrible seeing two cardboard rectangles side by side, with the Tome doing nothing. Imagine Tome didn't tap. You just get counters and pay 1 to draw. The Ring would still be better even in Norin, let alone a deck where the commander attacks every turn.

[@tribalmattersmtg5532]

I know this will annoy Richard but they played a lot of mana rocks, which survived the whole game, and gave Seth enough mana in two separate occasions to play cards ahead or have enough mana to double spell to win the game. He’s so high on his own supply.

[@DylanHunter64]

The Ring was probably the one single card in the entire format that kept Seth from just automatically losing that first game. Card is so stupid.

[@Dragon_Fyre]

Deck design is basically add the One Ring, then choose a commander 😅 Congratulations to Tomer for not being tempted by the Ring, when he is the only one running an Artifact deck.

[@aarondeifel6357]

I just watched a game where he copied a one ring someone else had, but then he also reset it with his own one ring 🤣

But, Seth didn’t play a mana rock nor did phill. Tomer with the mana rocks did nothing this game. I don’t think he lost because of the mana rocks. He lost because of a lack of interaction. This is a classic game, where the threat takes over a game with no interaction.

[@mcfluffy52]

@@tanercakir3544 In game 1 & 2 Phil played Heartless Summoning which I would argue is mana rock adjacent since it is a nonland that ramps you that can easily be destroyed in a wrath. Game 2 Phil played Arcane Signet, Talisman, and Machine God's Effigy. And in Game 2, Seth played both Thought Vessel and Throne of Eldraine. Seth won in part thanks to all the mana he had.

At the last turn wouldnt the commander had to blink out because of the skullclamp cast?

[@Niuttuc]

The Skullclamp wasn't cast, it was tutored to the battlefield directly by a triggered ability from Urza's Saga

[@sandorc]

@Niuttuc you are right!!! Thanks for the correction

[@danielanselme4868]

At the end of the second game phil couldn't block tomer since tomer gave all his creatures pro black at the beginning of the turn or was I missing something.

[@Niuttuc]

Tomer gave protection from black to all the creatures he had when he activated Glory. Mechtitan entered long after that so it didn't have protection from black.

[@danielanselme4868]

I see I guess I didn't see why he didn't swing all at Phil then give haste and swing in with mech titan at Seth during second combat should have been enough to get the kill on both didn't realize the miss on the land. 😂

In Richard’s defense, the Selesnya Wrath and Ramp deck he recommended would probably have destroyed this table.

[@UnreasonableOpinions]

Richard's usual strategies seemed not to really play out properly either time this game. Bad draws?

[@imaginarycreatures9760]

I think his reactive style is a little rougher to make work when you have 2 decks that just incidentally do damage to players without having to attack directly

[@Verlajn11]

Probably going overboard with greedy unimpactful cards 😅.

[@briankuczynski6884]

1:03:50 shouldn't tomer be dead to phil's copy of the ferocidon pinging him when his commander makes gnomes on attack?

[@Niuttuc]

That was caught at around 01:03:10 so Tomer decided to attack Phil with just the Mechtitan core as a result, it might not have been the most clear in the video

[@Zarundar]

I’ve always had a soft spot for Norin because of someone at our store. I brewed a Rocco deck that always tutored him out once but it wouldn’t have mashed with the current scene.
