I like how balanced the decks ended up being despite some potentially broken commanders. Fun game to watch!

[@davidbonell1473]

I really like how the Jersey Boys play, they play really well. For example I would have destroyed the Coffers instead of the high market, but since Matt had loads of Mana anyway it was more important to take aaway his sac Outlets, to stop Teysas engine from going off.

[@stevevrooman8250]

This is one of the best episodes from your channels I've seen in a long time. Seeing a constellation Yarok was very pleasing.

[@DummyUrD]

This was a great game, everybody had a moment to shine in the spotlight. Lovely decks too! And some real clutch plays. Thanks for this and thanks for the players for this awesomeness.

[@AffinityForCommander]

Another stellar game! I can't wait to see the new Commander 2019 legends in action! 😁

[@Scherezad_]

By the way, it's not possible to do anything between knowing who Vial Smasher's hitting and the damage being dealt. :D

[@MTGMuddstah]

You're quite right, but sometimes things get lost in the heat of the moment.

[@Scherezad_]

@@MTGMuddstah Most certainly. Heaven knows, we've all realized two turns later "Oh crap, I shouldn't have been able to do that!"

[@Khiash]

@@Scherezad_ "Wait, that was an illegal target back when you cast x" "Huh. You're right" "Oh well"

[@namename8004]

Finally a good Hapatra game! I think every other time she has shown up on the channel, the deck does nothing. Something ends up happening, whether it's mana screw, another player being oppressively ahead, or something.

[@Mister-Thirteen]

Honestly I've been having trouble balancing Hapatra. The mana curve is a bit wonky and its a deck that functions best with the deepest pockets. Running things like Earthcraft and Yogmoth are optimal but pricey. Its the kind of EDH deck waiting for the right support to really take off it the future when more -1 counter synergy is printed.

[@jackpabich763]

Can't believe that I didn't see this earlier! Absolutely love Hapatra! She's the first commander that I am planning on building completely from scratch.

[@rexone9564]

Love the channel, 1 request though. When you bring up a card on the screen, can you leave it large for another second or too?

[@G3RM4N0WNZ]

Not sure why Trevor Dualcaster Maged the Exsanguinate. 3*6=2*9. i dont think he really needed the 2/2 body

[@CaptBackwards]

Rude awakening (no entwined) + Tutor card (lower cmc the better beseech the queen is good) + Seasons past = Infinite mana + infinite cast Now grab aetherflux and repeat the loop to gain infinite life because infinite casting of spells. Boop.

[@darksteelmenace595]

I think you need at least 13 mana tho

[@CaptBackwards]

@@darksteelmenace595 its like that amount

[@LAmanafull6246]

Probably the best game you've ever done :) Great reactions, no missplay, and good comeback from players. Just sad to see and "infinite X mana in your face" to close the game but hey, that's the timmy speaking

[@magnusmagicus1977]

I agree that was the only downside of this awesome gameplay!

[@egarran]

I choose to believe he got a Tornado.

[@emctwoo]

Man constellation Yarok is such a cool deck idea! I'm not normally a fan of Yarok, but this is a build I can definitely get behind.

[@frenlysquiddy1972]

What a wild game! That loop at the end was so funky!!!

[@guilhermeviana3669]

14:53 it's so good when Dictate of Erebos comes in that right moment. I was waiting tô Teysa start the engine on the board and that terminate... Terminated all lol I loved the counterplay here... You killed my creatures, so the field gonna lost some too.

[@flarenite1004]

17:03 Not gonna lie The animorph novel book covers gave me nightmares as a kid

[@shilohartisan]

I L'd OL at the animorph novel reference in the video.

[@bigmike15511]

Sultai enchantment deck was pretty sick. Top 5 of my favorite decks I've seen on the channel for sure. Does it run the green aura ramp and green enchantresses too?

[@Cole444Train]

This is an absolutely fantastic game

[@alemorikec]

Best part of my Monday morning. Thanks yall!

[@TheBalogna7]

Now that's what Commander is all about. Big swings, each player's deck being able to showcase their own theme, and lots of interaction. I will admit though, it was easy to see Trevor's win coming from a mile away as he was continuously gathering resources while the other 3 were each competing for the Archenemy position.

[@ichiel1898]

and they experienced it so often, even us on camera. they should know it and gang upon trevor

[@Jensees901]

My birthday was a few days back (the third), so thanks! 🎉 Great vid again, thanks!

[@daem0nfaust]

Those are good, dependable stats, Krark Clan Ironworks! I trust your service!👍

[@sasukeds]

As a really big Hapatra fan I was sad she didn't win. I have never been a fan of infect Hapatra however. IMO she doesn't synergize well enough to run infect so you have to build a separate package just for infect. I feel like the infect just adds another huge target on your back you don't need while trying to set up. Great game from all sides though, and a nice comeback from Trevor.

[@gustavoportugal3763]

I have a Hapatra's EDH and one thing i understand now is that Hapatra's is a tokens deck with a -1/-1 counters subtheme, my list is much more effective that way, i cut almost every creture with infect or wither that does nothing beyond that and put things like avenger of zendikar, grave titan etc, and offcourse CRATERHOOF!

[@oldgregmtg877]

I'm ready to watch some Yarok shenanigans

[@GaucheEtVeule]

Almost Torment of Hellfire was the Trevorest moment I've seen in many episodes Actually, the last minutes were even better

[@CaptBackwards]

Today I had a torment of hellfire where x = 14, got countered by blue player. Next one by the same player x = 9 I go to 5 life I proceed to gain 21 life each turn for the next two turns and close the game out

[@GaucheEtVeule]

Comeback: the Movie

[@flarenite1004]

Muddstah do you think youll ever do a planechase video again?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I do!

[@orsettomorbido]

Oh, good, someone that does not use landfall with Yarok.

[@Johan_Liebert_]

Was Landfall Yarok popularized due to that budget video or is it just that good? Haven't been keeping up with Commander these past few weeks due to work so I'm a bit clueless atm.

[@orsettomorbido]

@@Johan_Liebert_ I think it was the second thing that people thought about (the first being creatures). I've seen a lot of channels talking about landfall Yarok. Let's say that land are not usually interacted with in casual pods, so it's a kind of resilient strategy.

[@endlessorbaggins8223]

Right. It is easier to build from the obvious and from lists. For my part, I like to see non-conventionnal builds and also I try hard to build my decks in a different way when possible (let say for example that with Hapatra I can't see a build that do not use the obvious good -1/-1 counter cards). For example, my Yarok deck is an elf tribal +1/+1 counter theme (mostly simic). It works great even without Yarok on the field. There is so much triggers going on, its really fun to play.

[@forerealz]

Nice throwback reference with the Animorphs

[@severalgaming9775]

I love the opening with the ad from KCI

[@markizydorczak2047]

One of the best games I've seen played online.

[@ajh22895]

Looks like a Theros themed Yarok. That's interesting, I made mine Kaladesh energy.

[@jhook6865]

Good idea! I may try that myself.

[@susiron1449]

17:38 I believe there was a misplay here with activating abilities while krosan grip was on the stack

[@tee918]

He waits for it to resolve but does things before the board wipe resolves

[@denburgoscruz6263]

I thought the same but if im not mistaken, its like sacrificing creatures after battle damage. If it was a "destroy all creatures" type of boardwipe, then I believe you wont be able

[@tee918]

Split second only prevents you from doing things while it's on the stack, so as soon as It resolves you're free to cast spells and activate abilities

[@susiron1449]

@@tee918 gotcha. Thank you

[@giannivood1043]

Love Trevor.s deck. Always a joy to watch

[@Snuske10006]

Great game! Just to nitpick, the Dictate triggered twice when the forked terminate was played because of teysa. not just once.

[@nanoacido5174]

I love how fast Ryan's deck is

[@Sycord]

Killing High Market was a misplay, with Viscera Seer still on the board for Matt. Especially when you consider Primal Amulet flipped the Turn after Ryan’s.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Also, Cabal Coffers was a much better target.

[@mythiccmouse6214]

To be fair everyone ignored the partner player since they were having a slow start at first they let him catch back up and paid the price. (Even though he rarely even used his commanders, I still feel like everyone popped off in their own way at some point.)

[@steelcrowjpc]

It’s cool to know I’m not the only one who build an enchantment yarok deck

[@WondeR871]

Always looking forward to this😉👍

[@thelocustgod9098]

Love that deck Trevor. Well played.

[@Cole444Train]

Honestly I think that’s the best 5 card hand I’ve seen.

[@rabbituckmann8146]

very nice game overall! loved the exsanguinate turn!

[@Dovahkiin2406]

i loved the animorph series when i was a kid

[@apock2474]

Trevor cast random spells to flip amulet. Third does not bode well for our hero’s.

[@awe_re_ah7107]

As I understand it; Canyon [Slough] is pronounced Slew/sloo since a canyon isn't organic/living tissue otherwise it would be Slof (like cough).

[@DarkEinherjar]

Someone won through combo... LET THE TEARS BEGIN!

[@DummyUrD]

Combo is kinda needed in a multiplayer format and his combo was really janky and real expensive :)

[@BarginsGalore]

Is Ryan… me? My main is hapatra, my playmat is lotus puddle, and I usually use one of those clinking life counters

[@DarkEinherjar]

Oh, god, the goblin noise is tainted by ads too, goddammit...

[@EskimoCreamKing]

Oh god, the guys are trying to make some money from their work.

[@addambarcelos]

The seasons past combo,sweet

[@golgariguy]

I got to ask, why so many card draw spells like Naturalize? Isn't it better to run permanent based repeatable card draw, like, say, Guardian Project and the likes?

[@ctheos69]

Hell yeah, it’s the jersey boys!

[@ichiel1898]

can totem armor protect from -1/-1 counters (black suns zenith + eel umbra)? I thought it only protects from destruction and those counters dont destroy

[@stevenbuck4090]

It added toughness though, so put it out of 0 toughness range.

[@SyckestBlah]

8:33 Am I the only one who chuckeld a little when Teysa was equipped with Swiftfoot Boots?

[@Kokonutzlz]

Smaragdptor ?

[@oracleofgames8590]

Yarok Enchantress! Me likey! Would love to see the list

[@carljohnson5121]

Did doom waker giant make Ryan tokens? Nice game I injoyed it

[@Nick-gp3xu]

Thank you

[@ManjMau]

If I am not mistaken that after the Blasphemous Act at 17:36, followed by the Krosan Grip, Matt should have not been able to activate any abilities before the Blasphemous Act went off due to the Split Second ability.

[@nickbond9526]

Hey, my name is Nick! And it was my birthday recently! :D

[@patrickbuerke1390]

Happy upcoming birthday!

[@tylerbrooks6063]

Did Trevor fetch for Overgrown Tomb early in the game? If so, it looks like he didn't shock himself.

[@corneal35]

Finally a hapatra deck

[@sintwelve]

That intro voice is familiar. Was that Jolt?

[@Kazz1187]

damn, pro play with that decree of pain

[@hasangahbiche16]

hey sry, is it possible if you can put a link of the Yarok deck, all the other decks are listed except for Yarok

[@AidanWR]

Not that it really matters, but Ryan didn't attack with the snake while goaded

[@crovax1375]

That was some amazing game play! Certainly a great video

[@heavenbot]

I'm a simple man, I hear Jolt, I click like

[@cameronmarteen]

Could we get Cam's Meren decklist for the previous video? I'm curious to see what he runs

[@GreenLikeGrass]

seems weird you film at tower, but have a code for multizone! do you know if that works at red dragon?

[@MTGMuddstah]

GreenLikeGrass I film at several locations across Ottawa and Gatineau!

[@garethsentry]

Great decks

[@TheLightindarkness2]

7:53 wouldn’t yarok still die to toxic deluge trough the totem armor because its -x -x till end of turn not damage

[@Prognox]

Black Sun Zenith was cast where x=5. The Eel Umbra was cast in response targetting Yarok, giving it the extra toughness needed to survive (it is 3/5 normally, but 4/6 with the umbra)

[@gdiridium5525]

slight misplay as eel umbra wouldn't've protected Yarok from the Black Sun's Zenith

[@MTGMuddstah]

Totem doesn't protect against -1/-1 counters, only the creature being destroyed.

[@stobikoc]

Still waiting for a game with Kykar deck :)

[@DarkEinherjar]

There was one in Affinity for Commander's game last week.

[@MTGMuddstah]

I've got one coming soon!

[@Zaros2400]

I can't wait for the Yarok decklist so I can try brewing it, as I pulled Yarok from a pack I got on my birthday a couple weeks back.

[@MTGFreak-]

Dance of Many is one of my favorite cards in my new Yarok Deck and i can really recommend playing that Card! 👍 diabolic servitude is pretty funny too and has some really weird interactions when it gets 2 creatures out of your graveyard!

[@TimeTraveler22]

Howcome the hands are always perfect? Do you guys just do free mulligans until you get a hand you like?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'd say the openers are far from always perfect. Sometimes people just get lucky.

[@TimeTraveler22]

@@MTGMuddstah maybe just the games I've watched, just never see someone mulligan to 6. Also always seems like everyone has 3-4 lands with some ramp and low cost spells on curve. Haven't seen all the games though so might just be the ones I've watched. Thanks for the vids though they are great.

I NEED THE YAROK LIST! please

[@a77ack69]

Super good game.

[@FredDermett]

7:45 the Umbra would not have saved Yarok. It only saves it from being "destroyed," not from its toughness being 0. Great episode otherwise! :D

[@asiniel23216]

The Zenith was for 5. The umbra gave Yarok +1/+1 so its toughnes was 6 therefore it didnt die

[@mark1A100]

The umbra also increases it's toughness to 6 letting it survive

[@JackThrowerofPrinnys]

Midnight banshees is only really good in hapatra if for somereason you cant cast you cmdr or you have some aristocrats pieces in play like artist or in hapatra deck obelisk spider.

[@sasukeds]

Absolutely. Midnight banshee is an all-star in Hapatra if you have the pieces. Zulaport,Falkenwrath,Blood artist,obelisk sp, blowfly infestation,nest of scarabs. I REALLY dont like infect in Hapatra.

[@JackThrowerofPrinnys]

@@sasukeds yeah, infect has it's place if you have life gain in your meta or just as an alternate wincon since you wanna proliferate anyway, but the deck is sooo much more efficient if you just focus on blight and whither effects to spread around the counters. The few infect creatures i run have other purposes like Phyrexian hydra because it puts counters on itself so you are guaranteed multiple snakes. If you dont block it you deserve the counters xD

[@oasisgaming7005]

[@sittacarolinensis8448]

Worth noting that Teysa doesn't interact with Decree of Pain's card draw since Teysa only doubles the abilities of permanents.

[@sittacarolinensis8448]

That said, lovely game! Like damn near all of them, it was quite fun to watch.

[@kickinwang1817]

He removed the Wurmcoil because the tokens it would generate upon dying from itself, Teysa's trigger doubling, and anointed procession. If he hadn't the Wurmcoil would've made 8 tokens on death, then gave Trevor 8 more cards when the second copy of Decree resolved. I don't think anyone implied that decree draws double off of Teysa.

17:46 Matt shouldn’t have been allowed to sacrifice anything to Viscera Seer cause of Krosan Grip’s splitsecond

[@MTGFreak-]

He let the krosan grip resolve as you can see him putting the dictate of erebos into his graveyard. After that but before the resolution of the board wipe he can play spells and activate abilities as he likes - but his enemies dont have to sacrifice creatures because of the missing dictate 👍
