We All Play Slivers (Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?!?) | Commander Clash S17 E15

[@michaelsagi202]

Oh no, paper slivers? It's so over

[@Hypermegaultrasuper]

MTGO might not crash today, but our sanity will

[@kurowasanabe]

It was me. I was the one who thought this was a good idea!

[@Shimatzu95]

Same, guilty as charged😅

[@Netro1992]

Me too.

[@ShadowLynx777]

You monster! Fun idea lol

[@iangoldstein4556]

I'd prefer 'which sliver lord is best' more than everyone uses legion. But love sliver week

[@emilmasterking7520]

Same

[@MrMartinSchou]

Tomer achieved the rare triple kill. Not three people, but Seth died to Commander Damage (Sliver Legion was 26 dmg without considering other sliver boosts), regular damage AND poison damage (13 poison counters).

[@Birchie84]

Only cause he drew the first sliver

[@Thermascorch]

About as dead as you can get in a game of edh

[@randomperson5579]

@@Thermascorch the only way i can see it being topped is if when you attacked it causes an opponent to draw with not enough cards in library, which from what i can find, slivers cant do on their own, you could deck yourself out though with synapse sliver, but i think that draw would happen after damage step of combat, so it wouldnt be an official quad kill.

[@Thermascorch]

@ They wouldn’t be happening at the same time though. You can’t draw when damage is assigned. I think phage might be able to do it I forget if that uses the stack. Everything has to happen during damage because otherwise it’s not “at the same time” like cmdr, poison, and normal damage are

[@kaszael]

Not sure if Phil catches on later but Black Market Connections triggers at the beginning of the first main phase, not on upkeep. You will already have drawn and can make the choice to draw an extra card or not at that point.

[@kaszael]

ah yes, he realizes it on turn 7.

[@laytonjr6601]

You're supposed to cascade for 0 when you play a 1 drop sliver. That could have been some spicy secret tech

[@jsato4921]

17:18 While you may not have the cascade target in your deck, it does reveal and shuffle your entire library. The reveal may not be as important, but it does open the chance to draw the cards that were bottomed from cascade.

[@danpearman270]

Ah Seth missed the sneaky way he could've won - each time Tomer cascaded through his deck technically he should've had to shuffle all the revealed cards to put them back 'on the bottom' - Tomer would've conceded rather than shuffle his deck :D

[@VincentAlucard]

@9:20 Dormant Sliver cost 4, not 3.

[@colinoclock]

Can't wait to see this! The only time I play my Slivers deck is in an all Slivers pod with my local group. Always fun and chaotic

[@user-tx2mu3cr2o]

Who in gods green earth thought paper sliver week was a good idea

[@Darchias]

Dormant Sliver is legitimately a decent card in any Simic dèck. Makes the random sliver player sad AND locks all changelings under Defender. Even if you have none of that at the pod it still cantrips.

[@VRanger100]

Sliver Mayhem in Paper is so fun to watch each time. It's even more fun watching them do this without MTGO doing all the heavy lifting XD

[@jacobarford2877]

Just a rules thing for Tomer. At 17:20, you ended your cascade chain with a one drop and chose not to cascade again. I don't believe you had that option though. I think you were required to cascade which is relevant because you should have shuffled your entire library. Not just the bottom few cards.

[@jacobarford2877]

Phil also did the same thing at 20:58.

[@jacobarford2877]

and then again at 21:28

[@jacobarford2877]

and then Tomer did it again at 24:55

[@jacobarford2877]

and then again at 36:46

[@JamesCooley-q8b]

Nothing gets past this guy

[@brandonmui283]

I absolutely adore Phil ❤

[@samdalfthegray4495]

I've been excited for this episode in paper, while also dreading it XD

[@DrMonty-ng5fo]

Damn, not on modo this time?! 😆

[@chickenwyngs3646]

Tomer's sliver at 9:19 was so funny, I love this tech!

[@ther3aper561]

This feels like a "no restrictions" episode but everyone had to pick their deck separately and reveal at the same time. And now it's just 4 spidermans pointing at each other

[@discoviolenza1984]

Its funny in the first or second sliver week, Seth made a mill Sliver deck

[@etten4536]

Yes, one of my favorite week theme! Slivers always lead to crazy things

[@neonlite000]

The sliver mayhem and chaos week episodes are just delicious!

[@markbutterworth1428]

Phil doing Phil things still lol😂

[@Halinn]

Winds of Abandon is such wild tech in the Goldfish meta

[@admanios]

I remember the last time this happened. I think Tom was still on the show. It was a miserable slog thanks to all Slivers having shroud, indestructible and defender.

[@heywes]

Tomers Clash On was fantastic!

[@OGTahoe3]

Rolling Dice should be the norm for Coin Flip cards. Just make it 50/50 odds. To many people argue that a flip wasn't good enough or someone doesn't know how to flip a coin well. Just Roll an even sided dice and call Odd or Even

[@MartianTechnoDonut]

I love Tomer's Clash ons! Must be a doozy playing with these people :')

[@SUSUGAgaming]

WOOOOOOOO SLIVER!!! oh boy the first time going it with paper cards too...I think?

[@dracish123456789]

The 1 drop slivers also cascade so decks should be fully revealed and randomized

[@shrouded8797]

Awesome prompt. Bet this will be hilarious.

[@caseyfurey1348]

I’m definitely putting Dormant Sliver into my Arcades deck just to mess with the sliver player in my pod lol

[@prototomtroy]

Drink when they say the word "sliver"

[@timbombadil4046]

So is the meta call to include a bunch of slivers that give their abilities everything but effectively do nothing (e.g. flanking) to game the 50% of slivers giving abilities to all criteria?

[@jessyounge6203]

Great game really enjoy your content

[@fredt1983]

Slivers....IN PAPER?! Oh god no.... You poor souls!!

[@ADamItalian1173]

Have to cascade, even if don't have any zero drops. So the whole decks would be revealed and then shuffled.

[@totakekeslider3835]

I think there's a Sliver of a chance that this is gonna be a good one.

[@kkhello823]

Paper sliver mayhem?!? yall crazy

[@whaleofdarkness]

How did Tomer play Dormant Sliver with 3 lands? Doesn't it cost 4?

[@alexroel123]

When tomer casted the sidewinder sliver off cascade, he should have shuffled his deck (since it has 1 mana cascade, and he said he has no 0 cost spells). Why? Well because of Realmwalker! The top of the deck mattered so id say he has to shuffle in this case

[@matthugenberg8869]

Did.... Did tomer just straight up cast a 4 drop for 3 mana? I expected mistakes this episode, but not those kind of mistakes. XD

[@c_1ay]

the poor editor. god rest your soul

[@Shimatzu95]

This would be a reason to go back to mtgo for 😅

[@papaflowers5726]

I think this singular instance would have been perfectly acceptable to play on MTGO, just to track all the p/t and abilities.

[@Kreenick]

I LOVE YOU PHIL

[@alexroel123]

id rather see all first sliver tbh, or just everyone playing a different sliver commander (without overlord)

[@michaelcollins4534]

Kinda notable misplay when tomer didn't cascade his deck when casting the 1 drop sliver. Everyone should've been allowed to see every card in his library

[@esrohm6460]

doing this on mtgo is brave doing it in real life is madness

[@shiftygypsy89migh41]

SLIVERS! how i miss them.

[@Beef_burrito]

ITS BACK!!

[@Welverin]

Slivers? In paper? Are you insane!?

[@123456789987o]

Next week is chaos week! I dare you!

[@dylannicholas1914]

Today is a great day!

[@djdorum7612]

The talking over each other was kind of rough on this one

[@sorren001]

Probably doesn't matter but when Tomer had a cascade trigger on a one mana spell he should have shuffled his deck.

[@brandonjensen586]

Why were they all the same commander?

[@Greatestnesss]

Before i watch this just wanna post that this is possibly a horrible idea in paper 😂 should be interesting to watch at the least

[@newtpondskipper]

Phil is such a chad.

[@Gretchaninov]

Not sure why Richard gave 16 cards to Phil only to deal 16 damage. It seems like Richard just had a really terrible hand. But he had Reliquary Tower, surely it was better to draw himself...

[@TheSpiritombsableye]

This sounds fun

[@rodrigodepaula4198]

Why the same commander to all? We have so many options got slivers commander. 😅

[@WiLDRAGE777]

Haven't watched the video yet, but I assume Sliver Overlord is banned.

[@Felix-fd2nc]

this is the Prof's dream

[@erikwiseman1702]

I'm not sure if doing this insanity in paper is brave or, well, insane. At least you don't have to worry about MTGO crashing?

[@tzeentchian]

Haven’t seen t he entire video, but someone was playing plague sliver yes?

[@Nyundaa]

Am I missing something or did tomer accidentally cheat? He played Dormant Sliver, a 4 drop, with only 3 mana on turn 4 (then plays a tapped triome).

[@bilaldjzniceva4872]

hybernation sliver plus a mindslaver wouldve been an insane combo in this situation

[@zweis]

Would not blame you guys for using MODO on episodes like this

[@788evets]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE more mtggoldfish

[@allanturmaine5496]

Oh, this is going to be a mess. A beautiful mess

[@kongthao5933]

Spiteful sliver 🎉

[@TheEsrix]

Someone should play Humility

[@Alessandro-mg9oh]

Why short episode? :(

[@jamesknibbe6519]

This is so dumb. I love it 😅

[@moredashi]

That’s not how flanking works 😅

[@MakeVarahHappen]

Sliver legion and not the first sliver?

[@ZeroCr0w]

Probably wanted to limit how explosive turns got.

[@ZeroCr0w]

The cascading also takes a while to resolve.

[@frosty980]

Sliver legion affects all slivers in play where as the first sliver only cares about yours. Adds to the chaotic nature of the board and speaks to slivers boosting your opponent’s as well

[@MakeVarahHappen]

@@ZeroCr0w That's the fun of it!

[@massive_avecado]

11:34 [[cavalry master]]

[@-homerow-]

Yesss

[@Zentenski]

Oh no, not again! Not in paper! (thank you I love it)

[@TuffLP]

My self-insert character is Tomer's boyfriend, just sayin

[@CyberNewType]

I don’t get it, why do a re-run of a theme you’ve already done before??? If y’all running out of ideas, a good ole fashion game of regular Commander is still entertaining from you guys.

[@sams3476]

If there was ever a week to go back to MTGO 🤦‍♂️

[@yuripinheiro7694]

🍿🍿🍿

[@kr4zym4mmals12]

Could I join I have oops all slivers

[@acdcguy18]

This is why they shouldn't have left MtGO. Why did they in the first place?

[@CyberNewType]

So odd to me how you guys regularly questioned the bannings in Commander, but you guys ban cards that aren’t that bad, yet leave Teferi’s Protection unbanned. The card is so annoying and swingy. So maybe take your own advice, make a ban list that makes sense, or don’t ban anything. Jus sayin’

[@cheezuschrist588]

Brave to not play this on mtgo

[@bunsberry]

My favorite part was when you all said it's sliver time and started slivering all over the place!

[@shrouded8797]

Ooh, 25 seconds.

[@ODIRGO]

Slivers again!!!? You ran out of ideas? Thanks but no thanks, I'll pass today.

[@9807036]

Oh.. oh no… it’s table tribal with this many board wide effects? Brb gotta vomit. (Seriously tho, holy crap why) much fun and chaos though!

[@beowoof1907]

first

[@jackl8025]

Cool comment, mind if I screenshot it?

[@ubertuna1]

Absolutely unhinged
