Magus Lucea Kane vs Sythis vs Sauron vs Sméagol EDH / CMDR game play

[@hugeladchad]

Sythis is one of those commanders you have to kill as soon as it comes down. Letting them untap with her is just asking to lose

[@GrinningFeline]

100% this! If I’m sitting down to a sythis game, I will mull for removal.

[@GrinningFeline]

Because even if a fellow opponent kept removal, she’ll be right back down for 4 mana.

[@mrbojangles6156]

Yeah. Anytime someone puts sythis on the table it’s automatic player removal

[@kylemcelhattan6253]

Literally 3 upgraded precons against it too.... yall should've been teamed up on them from the beginning

[@jackstrawFW]

Why did no one target sythis with it always having atleast two or three draw engines out..... 😅

[@evafox9696]

As soon as I saw 3 enchantres effects early on, I skipped to the end of the video and, what do you know, the Sythis wins.

[@connorl0204]

Tempest of light. An instant that destroys all enchantments for the low cost of 2W. Theres another one that costs 3W but can be cast for free if you cast another spell from future sight.

[@connorl0204]

Just looked it up. Patricians scorn is the future shifted card. And is only free if youve cast another WHITE spell, not just ANY spell.

[@semicolon_cancer1243]

Smeagol ends up really strong in a 1v1 setting, as you can pile on the removal/sac/landfall stuff better. I run him on historic brawl and he can be pretty oppresive. 4 player he just doesnt shine as much.

[@pbbppbbp]

i mean, the deck showcased here seems very poorly built. his initial hand alone has some very questionable inclusions

[@pbbppbbp]

like bro, why the fuck does he run three visits? lmao last night on turn 5 i had 10 lands in play ramping off of smeagol alone (and i missed a land drop)

[@corbiebrown4574]

@@pbbppbbp huh? three visits is a great card...

[@LuckyLucifer25]

This sythis deck isnt even fully optimized looking at the deck list there are some upgrades that could definitely be made. Adding archon of sun's grace for more flying lifelink creatures. For sanctum weaver gauntlets of light allow ♾️ mana.

[@tonnie901]

the altered ego's should have been 19/19's. don't forget the base stats of the copied creature

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good catch! I knew I missed something.

[@happybrain2674]

@@MTGMuddstah and make sure next time to hit the player that drawn to that point more cards then all others together with BOTH dragons xD

[@RemieLebeau]

enchantresses are gross, period

[@ivernedit]

Sythas is such a snooze deck. Karametra enchantress is way cooler in the same colors. I would have mana drained the dictate or sanctum tbh.

[@bc6292]

Play Tiny Bones you cowards

[@x1PMac1x]

Lame Sphere of Safety.

[@happybrain2674]

just to help for future pronounciations for sméagol: its [SMAGEL]

[@thesilvershadow13]

That Sythis deck made for a pretty uneventful game, unfortunately

[@lokumo13]

Yeah, everybody was durdling while Sythis was sprinting.

[@TCG9777]

Any deck that does well makes for a pretty uneventful game. How dare!

[@papaflowers5726]

Sythis becoming more of a rolls eyes deck as time goes on.

[@DiploRadio]

Sythis is clearly not on the same power level

[@lokumo13]

Eh, each of those commanders are pretty abusable ones. Sythis was just much faster, thanks to its gameplan being one that's inherintly a much faster one. Even built at similar power levels, others were just durdling for the most part, even after they were given oduble mana and stuff they didnt' have a lot going on.

[@ecclesiaandune687]

Power level is fine, 2 of the decks did absolutely nothing all game but ramp. Exactly two pieces of interaction were used on her

[@TraurigeNacht]

@@lokumo13 what you are describing is a difference in Powerlevel, especially if the consistency to do this every game is there. Which we can't know, so going by what we do know, aka this video, it is in fact on a different level

[@maxbodifee3263]

Starting with a Savannah says it all

[@daybreak817]

@@TraurigeNacht just look at the lists in the description and it will confirm what you already saw - It's an enchantress deck that has all of the expected engines and clear win conditions. It is head and shoulders above the other 3 decks. It will win most of the games it plays in this pod.

[@chrisptb6831]

I freaking love my Sythis....but I changed it for Calix because it was so boring for my playgroup to play against her.

[@nikos731]

The moment there were multiple "when you cast an Enchantment, draw a card" effects, the game was over unfortunately.

[@t.g.7973]

Meh Sythis play draw, play draw.

[@TCG9777]

I'd call this music if the track wasn't 3 seconds long and on a loop

[@stevenguitink5947]

That's not an Apprentice Necromancer. Unless it's meant to be a stand-in for the Necro? Also that Mana Drain looked like an Apprentice Necromancer. xD

[@rayzur1076]

i love sythis

[@ant8384]

Before i watch this movie... I've never seen a Magus Lucea Kane deck go off.... And i say this as someone who built one. :(

[@Zaalbarjedi]

Looks like someone has never been hit with Crackle with Power for 40 😁

[@felixin02]

You will not see it here neither

[@DDDHunter]

You never ramp to 16 lands by turn 5 :)

[@JoaoVictor-ik7sn]

Sythis made the match boring and obviusly, much faster and strong than the other 3

[@emilyholway9892]

At 8:23 you guys missed a sigil of the empty throne trigger

[@anstapa6118]

It is nice to see how well enchantress works when it has clear win cons.

[@josemaravilla6955]

I can see some shenanigans brewing

[@bashlindsay7618]

I am building a deck around Smeagol, Helpful Guide

[@manuelcaetano4734]

So Sythis was playing with the partner pair of summoners

[@thengine7]

@4:40 WHY DIDN'T YOU MANA DRAIN THE DICTATE!?!?!? That single decision threw the game to Seb.

[@tristanevans1062]

Ancestral mask would have made the commander one shot
