Ashcoat vs Daretti vs Ashnod vs Kykar EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering

[@mmogeek1]

I think most times I've seen your Daretti games you got focused down first and didn't get to do much. This game gave the feeling of "I'm done messing around".

[@MTGMuddstah]

I finally found the time to update the deck a day or so before this game. Added a lot more filtering effects which really helped, and more damage based pay offs.

[@ManjMau]

That update made your Daretti deck crazy powerful. Now people have a reason to actually team up against you.

[@sofer2230]

4:41 Unless I missed a haste enabler, one of those Rat Colonies shouldn't have been able to attack.

[@Ryan-rt5bl]

I love the content but this game felt like a real example of not having a rule 0 talk and poor threat assessment. Deretti was significantly higher powered than the others. Kykar was fine-ish but the other 2 weren’t even playing the same game. Then watching the 2 mono b players fight each other while you untapped over and over with ToR was painful. I’d love to see Deretti in an appropriate pod

[@TCG9777]

Absolutely. He didn't even have enough creatures to block, so with the pressure from T.O.R's life loss, the rest could at least put his life total in position where he could've died from the trigger. Like, he had protection for one turn! After that turn, you should've been a punching bag

[@zordzao95]

Andrew would have probably died if he had been more focused down. I’m sure that the people who play with him regularly know what his deck does. I’m not saying that the Daretti is more high powered than the other ones, but it’s a combo deck, if people don’t see it coming, they deserve to lose.

[@t.g.7973]

Bad threat assessment

[@44Midfield]

John was single-handedly stopping your shenanigans all game! His Kykar deck looks so fun. Happy Holidays!

[@thengine7]

@6:43 Andrew should have saced the underworld breach in response to shattering pulse. That would have made it fizzle... And he would have 2 mage.

[@semicolon_cancer1243]

Tunnel grinder let's goooo! Great to see that cool card in action.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Easily in my top 5 cards released in 2023

[@nickp465]

Merry Christmas! Appreciate everything you do muddstah ❤️

[@MTGMuddstah]

Happy holidays!

[@philipthesen8458]

any chance at getting a decklist for Ashnod ?

[@condrecomics]

No way you let John destroy half your board with Shattering Pulse while you have an Ironworks in play. You sac its first target, the spell fizzles, and so does buyback

[@brandonfrew3221]

How many cards were in your hand when you last cast Lattice, I can't tell but if you happened to only have lattice and dockside you should've discarded dockside due to oppression But again I can't tell if you had other cards in your hand or not

[@energetek661]

Ashnod is so fun. Built it for 20 bucks and is a blast!

[@FelippeARJ]

Can I see your list? Please. Im running out of ideas to built this one

[@maximumjongs]

@@FelippeARJ Ashnod tells you what you want to do. Low costed creatures with replacement effects to ramp into powerful artifacts/abilities. Creatures that scale into late game like augmenting automaton are especially nice. Artifact creatures are very good in this deck because of the powerstones. Don't forget her second ability for when things get dire, activating for chump blockers or at the end of someone else's turn to ensure they are prepped for the surprise attack.

[@ColorfulHelices]

Muddstah my BROTHER IN CHRIST what happened to you that you felt that monster of a turn 5 was necessary??? Lordy my man, that was terrifying

[@ZidaneTribal1989]

Andrew woke up and chose violence in this game.

[@brettsutherland8390]

Damn that Daretti deck is sweet. Love all the Inventions

[@thehermit196]

this game looked like a 1v1 with two spectators

[@goffy2utube]

Thanks for playing Daretti again ❤

[@Blacklodge_Willy]

Love me some good ol' Darretti!

[@safertobeanonymous2224]

Oops you messed up pretty bad there! Should have sacrificed the underworld breach to the ironworks and fizzled the shattering pulse!

[@palomaresdanemerson]

Underworld breach is an "ENCHANTMENT" and shattering pulse destroys target "ARTIFACT" im not sure why was breach destroyed.

[@maximumjongs]

It sacrifices itself at the end step anyway he was probably just done with it.

[@BelieMyBurial]

Mycosynth Lattice

[@palomaresdanemerson]

@@BelieMyBurial Maybe i didnt catch lattice still being there while breach was getting attempted to be destroyed or lattice was already gone.. but if it was still there then that answers my question.

[@bobyao3472]

at 8:26, John destroy your lattice in respond to you going to combat, then you sacced a lot of permanents to float mana, but they all happened before you go to combat, so you either weren't able to cast your follow spell (planar bridge) since you can only cast them during main phase, or those mana would fizzle after you enter combat.

[@TheMartianBotanist]

Nah opponent took an action so the phase restarts when stack is empty

[@bobyao3472]

Thanks for correcting me!@@TheMartianBotanist

[@rygore14]

Not sure who enjoys watching such a one sided game because one of the decks is clearly leagues ahead of the others, but it's not for me personally.

[@mistertrosme]

at 8:42 shouldn't you have lost the colorless floating mana when you exit the combat phase since john reacted to you and thus not be able to cast planar bridge?

[@Lmo777]

This was all done in Andrew's precombat main phase. Since John floated the mana in preparation to cast a spell, John had to use it before Andrew's main phase ended, which allowed Andrew to once again have priority during the main phase to cast spells as normal before attempting to move through combat again. This was all played out correctly from my quick review.

[@mistertrosme]

@@Lmo777 okay i thought it went on stack of changing phase, didn't know it went back to precombat mainphase as normal

[@Lmo777]

@@mistertrosme No problem, that's a constant in MTG, in order for each phase to end each player needs to pass priority for the game to move forward! That's why people will pipe in and take actions "in response to X phase ending", they are using their given priority to do something (rule 500.2).

[@Zarbon000]

@@Lmo777Yea but once the player whose turn it is says I pass priority and want to go to my combat phase, once it goes around the person who turn it is can only fast fast effects, not land creature or sorcery. So they couldn’t play Planar Bridge.

[@Lmo777]

@@Zarbon000 This statement is incorrect. In order for you to do anything at sorcery speed it needs to be your turn's main phase (pre or post combat), you have priority, and the stack is empty (CR 117.1a). Once the stack clears from John casting Shattering Pulse, Andrew once again has priority, nothing on the stack, and it's still his main phase. A main phase ends when all players pass in succession while the stack is empty (CR505.2). He can use that priority to simply 'pass' and attempt to move to the combat step, or continue with a different course of actions as this game displayed (CR 500.2).

Rat colony will always be the HIM card. What a 🐐 card. Never gets old.

[@Illstatefishing]

Nice present 🎁

[@galaxods6145]

Hey dude, could you Update your lucea Landfall deck? Would be super cool

[@maximumjongs]

I know hindsight is 20/20 but, they should have been focusing your Daretti when you were vulnerable, Arca knew. Arca needs more tutors, he knows what the deck is supposed to do but he is neglecting the most powerful tool in black. Arca, you're playing a low power commander, don't hold back with the tutors. Use the tutors and give them a tour of the citadel. 😈

[@Smaul002]

Is Daretti still a good commander or has he been powercrept out of the format? Obviously the game was won with Daretti. Just curious if game to game he feels consistent like many of the more modern commanders

[@paulball2137]

I think artifact strategies in general are quite powerful and Darettis rummaging and reanimating effect are redundant to what you want to do anyways. So yeah as you said, crazy consistent. Most modern commanders seem to be payoffs, but Daretti is a pretty solid enabler imo

[@davideleidi9361]

The $2000 deck won in a casual table? Shocking

[@elcapitanofthemtn]

While there were a lot of super strong cards in the deck, the price is also heavily inflated by the fact that he has a lot of the special Kaladesh inventions versions of the cards. That Mana Crypt is worth like $800 versus closer to $180 and the Crucible of Worlds for example was worth like $100 when the standard version is closer to $20. The deck was still super strong, but also was *that* expensive because of bling.

[@MTGMuddstah]

The majority of the "cost" of my deck is the inventions being wildly expensive.

[@franciscojose6512]

Very one sided match

[@Cagliostro0589]

La fine??

[@towelguy]

damn those are some disgusting daretti cards

[@lokumo13]

Hey Muddstah, would love to see the swaps you've made to your Daretti list. I can see a few of them in this game but they don't appear on the moxfield list!

[@Blacklodge_Willy]

Look under view history:)

[@lokumo13]

@@Blacklodge_Willy Sigh, I know how to use the site lol. Check the list yourself before making this comment. The list he played in the video for example includes The One Ring, Breach, Brass' Tunnel-Grinder. None of those show in the mainboard, or the recent history of the list shared in the description, which is obviously fine and understandable. There is a reason why I made the initial comment lol.

[@Blacklodge_Willy]

​@@lokumo13 Yeah I noticed that too. He just has a tendency of updating slowly. He just added Jeskai's Will today for example.

Enjoy!@@MTGMuddstah

[@andrewsutherland1909]

It's probably just me but I always find infinite loops to be unsatisfying whenever I've gotten to use them or seen them in action. Just feels like a game ends abruptly no matter how intense or close the battles/interactions were.

[@TCG9777]

Isn't that how most games win?
