Can I just say guys, I don't know if everyone just came to the game with a really good Vibe and attitude today, or maybe you changed up how you record your audio, or something. But this whole game just seemed to flow so well the banter was seamles. Probably the number one game I've watched where it just felt like I was sitting at a table at my local game store. Love you guys

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

Glad you are enjoying it! The feeling of sitting at a table with friends or at your LGS is exactly what we're going for.

Just want to say how much I appreciate you Tomer! Not only not being salty, but actively being excited about what people were doing is so great. Y'all are the best!

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

Yeah, it's weird, during spring and fall there are infinite ladybugs at my house. Usually the don't end up in a video though :)

[@chasehatchett4756]

thats supposed to be good luck

[@thomaskauffman250]

​@@MTGGoldfishCommander It might be Japanese water beetles. They come in for warmth often in homes.

[@erickdiaz1703]

"Im not threatened by anyone" I'm pretty sure Tony Stark said that and now Phil LMFAO

[@cncxfn]

Don't worry Crim, you weren't the only one who saw Storm and thought Mill.

[@ammonaustin9081]

Storm Mill is very generic, actually. Probably the #1 archetype people thought about.

[@ShadowMage223]

there are dozens of us!

[@kurowasanabe]

Brain Freeze is by far the most used wincon for Storm, I don't know why he's presenting it as an uncommon strategy.

[@jek15origami]

we are many

[@JulioDRai]

@@kurowasanabe I was wondering if maybe Crim just didn't know its a CEDH staple because he was acting as if he was playing a very "honorable" storm deck lmao

[@DCode504]

Thank you Crim for bringing up Storm's most famous quote 😄

[@totakekeslider3835]

As soon as he said he was going to say a quote, I immediately knew what was coming, lol.

[@TheLargeBard]

Tomer with the Endgame hoodie, ya love to see it!

[@crawdaddy2004]

"I just do things" Crim. People who say Crim is only a control player, that only applies to constructed formats. In Commander, he is Chaos incarnate.

[@ammonaustin9081]

Crim is not really a control player. He's just a troll

[@Alikaoz]

The biggest shock is finding out commander clash is recorded weeks in advance

[@pablopandolfo8446]

Probably will get a months old one at one time. Also, editing this must be painful.

[@tlamy1992]

I dont think they do. There's a moment where Crim points out the new art of Solemn Simulacrum that Phil has, and Phil says he got it at prerelease, which was just last weekend.

[@donb7519]

I think it's been acknowledged in a few podcast episodes.

[@Alwayz114]

I would assume they have a backlog of a couple generic themes, and then slot in the more time-sensitive episodes? Or they're winging it and it works perfectly with me none the wiser

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

It's just over over a week in advance (like 10 days) for editing purposes. Typically we record on Mondays (when things go to plan) and then the episode goes live the following Friday. This one was actually a shorter turn around, we recorded it this past Monday (the 11th) and it went up today (the 15th).

[@christianpena7748]

Love that Tomer wore an Avengers hoodie!!! This was a fun game and I hope we can get a bonus episode to show these commanders off even more!

[@ArtPlaysGames]

I think Crim's goal this whole time has been to try to prove mill is good in commander.

[@piezing]

I was hoping somebody would be playing Vetega. :(

[@Twime.]

[@Larkinzzz]

30:05 Seth illegally spawns a 1/1 Insect Creature Token 😅

[@NevVita]

Crim saw storm and decided he needed to give her crabs

[@jfrizzell6645]

Can ya’ll STOP talking over Phil!?!?!?

[@retrofuturistJL]

yes please! it always happens and his insights are usually the most interesting next to crims. Now that i think about it a Crim and Phil break down of competitive decks seems like it would be a great listen for podcasts.

[@flylikehawkings]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is incredibly rude

[@AgonalRhythm]

The editor puts the videos together with their audio feeds fixed, but this is most likely due to network delay on their international call to Phil

[@TheDamianMichaels]

​@@AgonalRhythm At first I was upset with them, in full agreement. After seeing your comment, you're definitely right. I assume Phil is in Germany and everyone else is in the States or Canada, so there's for sure a delay regardless of whatever channel they're using

[@Twime.]

This happens so often, even on the podcasts. Makes me cringe and sad alittle.

[@mashedmentality]

Honestly I don’t like playing against or with mill, it’s just not my favorite mechanic but I don’t hate it. I do like that Crim has showed on multiple instances that mill is a viable technique for Commander. It may make you an instant threat to everyone but he speeds up so many games when he isn’t taken out quickly. I don’t think I’ve actually seen him win with a mill deck but the effect his mill decks have on the game is massive. Definitely makes for interesting content and seeing everyone get frustrated by it and Crim just laughing it off is the cherry on top. The Mindskinner deck Crim played on CGB’s Commander show was nuts. Halfway through the video so maybe I’ll get to see him win one with mill🤷‍♂️ EDIT: YOOOO LET’S GO CRIM!!!!!

[@franetrain7825]

"I'm not threatened by anybody" Phil definitely channeling his inner Tony Stark right there 🤣

[@fredt1983]

[5 minutes left after the game] Me:" _Oh, did Crim build a serious version of a storm deck and win in 4 mins?_ " You know it's true and that Universes Beyond has gone too far, heh.

[@PandaKnightsFightingDragons]

4:58 MaldHound also looked at Storm and went "Oh yeah, this is for the Mill players" edit: I love that Crim only had Storm do her thing once

[@Spirited_skiing]

Isn’t there a commander clash short about swords giving pro-white and sigarda’s aid???

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

Yeah, that happened once already lol

[@stephendez]

Phil! Gotta remember that the artifacts Iron man tutors for come in tapped

[@110019a]

with all the mill didn't really see seth or tomer do much i kind of want a game two

I haven’t seen any brews with these commanders yet so I’m interested to see what y’all have come up with!

[@shawnpariseau9951]

The absolute funniest part about all of this... I didn't even start watching the video and I somehow knew Tomer was gonna try assembling kaldra just from the video title in my feed. So my predictions are... Seth draws cards, crim plays "stax", and Phil absolutely obliterates with a crazy value engine.

On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" we go *beyond*. Will Tomer show that no actual powers is the best power or will Phil show us the power of SCIENCE!? Tune-in to find out!

[@saidinstouch2186]

This is why most of my decks have an OG Eldrazi titan. I hate losing to mill!

[@TeaHauss]

Honestly, that's such a big brained storm deck, I wouldn't even be mad.

[@jbinks02]

Man, it makes me so happy there are people who enjoy mill like me. One thing to note, the artifact Iron Man gets does enter tapped. Wasn't relevant this game, but something to note. Great Game!

[@TheKilaby]

Storm is so versatile you can build her in so many ways, i build mine with creature tokens.

[@IonFONE]

This was really enjoyable, for sure. I almost wish you ran it back just to see how things would go if the crabs didn't show up in the opening plays. Additionally, the politicking was very limited, only because the threats were clearly identifiable. I feel like when Richard is around, he spends a lot of time redirecting threat, even more than Crim. In this game, Crim did what he wanted without much resistance. Phil had a ton of artifacts, Seth was trying to pop off was Voltron Wolverine, and Tomer wanted to show off Khaldra - which he did in an awesome way. Overall, well done!

[@Optimator7]

Truly bizarre how Seth doesn't know any X-Men stuff. I was never a huge fan, but being involved in many geeky hobbies growing up I just learned anyway.

[@jayberry2143]

Misery's always on the menu, storms bonkers no matter what you do with her but what can we expect of a Omega level mutant xD

[@kobylong605]

It boggles my mind how any of them ever listen to anything Crim says. He is ALWAYS lying even when he isn’t he is.

[@shanetapp9199]

Poor Storm had crabs before she had even seen anyone.

[@lukusridley]

The only ethical blue deck is a crab deck and that is why crim is the most ethical gamer on this table

[@Cyberium]

I was hoping to see Black Panther. His directions seem most unique amongst the five.

[@RirseDeBlood]

Man Crim was annoying this episode. Not because of him winning, because due to the mill, the game ends so quickly that nobody ever gets to do anything outside a single act with their commander.

[@crawdaddy2004]

Ummm... is it because it was mill or because Storm granted Storm? Hint: it's not because it was mill. 😂

[@ammonaustin9081]

Storm is a very uncreative & lame commander that WotC pushed for sales

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Every single marvel commander is strong... VERY strong if you get a few pieces on the field for them... storm on the other hand is a whole other level. Shes a MONSTER commander (and shes cool AF). Edit: storm burn is probably more fair than storm mill... mill is weirdly insanely powerful with her. Then again everything is broken with her lol

[@ElmoTheRed]

Phil missed a huge play. When Crim milled everyone over 40 cards he could have exile gerrard's hourglass pendant and put all those cards straight onto the battlefield. That play would have been so sweet.

[@ronanelliott9844]

Doesn't work with mill sadly, they have to be put there from the battlefield

The sword gives the creature pro white but doesnt have pro white itself, what am i missing?

[@thomaskauffman250]

​@@retrofuturistJL the next equip wouldn't be able to target that creature was their point

[@TheSpunYarn]

@retrofuturistJL The free equip from Sigardas Aid is a trigger from the Enchantment, so if a creature has protection from White, the trigger can't target it. Tomer knew this though, and didn't equip to the Esper Sentinel

[@retrofuturistJL]

@@thomaskauffman250 gotcha, assuming it stops caps equip too?
