Najeela vs Adv. Thrasios vs Sad Farm vs Ruric Thar | cEDH Gameplay | Casually Competitive

*SPOILERS BELOW* If you want to catch games like this live be sure to follow our Twitch channel to know when our livestreams start! We are currently streaming twice per week and following the channel is the best way to know when we're live: www.twitch.tv/casuallycompetitivemtg GAME NOTES - During the narration and note taking I missed a few Blood Artist triggers. There were 4 that were missed. Bill should end the game with 4 more life if I remember correctly the damage was split up and would not have made a different throughout the game. - At the end of the video I mentioned that Cameron could play Underworld Breach to re-gain access to his Finale, in the stream, to save time, we just scooped it up and prepared for the next game once he drew his library, but based on the number of different builds for this type of Thrasios deck he may not have been running Underworld Breach. That being said, he does run Timetwister, so with infinite mana he could draw his library and cast Timetwister, then again draw his library to get access to every non-exiled card in his deck.

Activating Thrasios 16 times in a turn is only way to play Magic. Great game boys! Thanks again!

Damn these guys from Play to Win are killing it with their "Marketing Campaign". Theyve been on Commander Clash and Casually Competitive, now all we need is them on Commander VS and Spike Feeders. Also, haven't finished watching yet but I'm sure I'm in for a great game.

[@gorzakMtG]

Commander VS is a casual format tho right? Although it really would be fun to see them play a more Battlecruiser type deck.

In an earlier video, I commented about how I wish I say more different and unique decks. And he didn't really talk about it but I really appericate that an Abzan deck was being played on this channel. It almost won several times and did pretty good overall. (I love Abzan decks). Plus the Gruul stacks deck was great too see. As said before, would love to see more unique decks like stacks Gruul and Abzan deck.👍

[@redwoolsocks]

Two of my fav channels colab. I love it!

[@SoDefCallidus]

Loving this gameplay. Quite a lot of back and forth. Ruric Thar really narrows down the decision tree once he hits the battlefield. Considering he’s just the big dumb guy, he has a lot of impact on the game.

[@lordmeep5803]

I loved everything about the Sad Farm. Tragic that Thrasios is always such an oppressive deck, would love to see it get crushed by life gain value. I could tell the second that Thrasios resolved for the third time that the game was over.

[@shadowclothes]

@17:00 a blood artist trigger was missed.

[@uiop60]

Seeing a Najeela list labeled "very optimized" as a 9/10 on your power scale, I'm curious what you would rate as a 10/10, especially in a post-Flash world.

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

In a post-flash world I'm kind of waiting on the 10/10. Previously, the 10/10 was reserved for Flash Hulk lists, and now I'm kind of being cautious about what gets that slot

[@vassanguis]

What kind of sadist votes to see Turbo Thrasios again?? Also, I’m really loving the Sad Farm list. Funny backstory and it did some pretty cool stuff this game.

[@dimitriosdoulgeris4659]

Joseph! Have you touched Ruric Thar since any of the new sets have been released?

[@MaricKillJoy]

That Sacred Foundry entered the battlefield apped 😄

[@checker_od4236]

18:00 when the Mindblade Render attacks it should have also created a warrior token attacking with the Mindblade Render as Najeela was on the board. Same goes for Ruric Thar as he is also a warrior. Edit: I just noticed it is a "may" ability, but there is no reason why he wouldn't want another token at that time.

[@silenceburns1336]

Nice catch with the may ability. To your edit, Najeela's controller doesn't get the tokens when an opponent attacks with a warrior, the opponents would. No reason to give the enemies free 1/1's

[@Thyeggman]

Since all the gameplay for these episodes is done using webcams I would prefer that the top 2 players' boards be flipped so that the cards are right-side-up. Maybe I'm alone in this but it would be more like arena and easier to read. Since the players are non-co-located there's no real barrier to doing this either. Other than that I enjoyed the content as usual :)

[@DarkEinherjar]

Shouldn't Nate have discarded down to seven after the Cyclonic Rift? Or does he have Reliquary Tower?

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

You are correct - He ended up discarding the turn after so it wouldn't have mattered (he most likely would have played the next turn the same way) and I think everyone expected the game to be over very soon after so this error slipped by

[@andrewmarinkovich8657]

Great game, fellas. Thrasios = ridiculously good!

[@mckfencer]

@25:16, why not just make infinite mana with the basalt monolith? It's a mana ability, so tapping it for mana doesnt use the stack, and you should be able to untap in response to the abrupt decay

[@JustSomeLamp]

The Monolith didn't produce enough to pay the untap twice, he was otherwise tapped out, and the Abrupt Decay was in response to the untap

[@cameronbyers7335]

@@JustSomeLamp I know this is super late... but couldn't he just untap and tap over and over again because he has kinnan who gives the monolith the ability to generate infinite colorless mana

[@chachi_arcola]

Is there a combo with Goblin Sharpshooter I'm not seeing in the Ruric Thar deck? Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to point it out

[@loganmacdonald8924]

Not sure if you still care, but since no one answered your question I will. You cast goblin sharpshooter, then enchant it with splinter twin. Once you can tap the sharpshooter you tap it to create a copy. I’ll call the original A and the first copy B. You tap B to kill a -/1 already on the board which untaps both A and B. You tap A to create a third sharpshooter who I’ll call C. Once C hits the field you tap it to ping an opponent for one. You then tap B to ping C for one killing it and untapping both A and B again. At this point you repeat the loop until your opponents are all dead.

[@MtendoTheSkunk]

Why wasn't the Blood Artist triggered ability happening for the warrior tokens dying?

Is it just me or did Cameron mess up his sequencing on turn 3?

[@SilHbs]

Personal curiosity: what's the difference between 'real' cedh and 'casually' cedh? 👀

[@MFobes]

Suboptimal lines is the thing that makes me think not true cedh. It’s pretty darn close tho.

[@SilHbs]

@@MFobes but if you see the deck lists, they are pretty much the same lists... Maybe the consistency of ending the game before turn 5 make it "real" cedh?

[@cerculain1722]

How did you get the C20 cards already?

[@hardcoreeconomist1089]

Why was the sleeve taken off of najeela?

[@ZilverTheFreak]

Whats the reasoning behind playing Akiri, if it's just there for colors wouldn't Bruse Tarl do the same job colorwise while having more utility as a creature you might wanna cast?

[@gnarly814]

Akiri can have some synergy with stax pieces (although i didnt see any it can play better against them too), the lower cmc is helpful for faeburrow elder or bloom tender. Although tbh the difference between the two boris partners in this deck is minimal.

[@cobblepott4169]

(I'm the designer of the list) The difference between running Bruse Tarl vs Akiri comes down to what you want your Neoform to resolve into (Seedborn vs Zirda). Looking purely at value, Seedborn is a stronger play, but it doesn't win the game on its own. Akiri into Zirda is strong value as well AND has the option of immediately translating into a win with a Monolith in play. For me, the possibility of immediately translating into a win tips the scale in favor of Akiri.

[@ZilverTheFreak]

Thank you very much, you make a good point! 😁

You guys should run a Selvala, heart of the wilds deck for one of your videos.

[@agenecrobiosis]

What a great video! Minor spoiler alert! I was just wondering why your Ruric Thar has so few lands? Most list I see have at least 32 lands due to his stax effects and high CMC cards? I noticed you were a little shy on lands during the game, especially after the overloaded cyclonic rift. I play 33 lands, but I think I will cut it to 32 after seeing your list with only 30.

[@ivernedit]

thats some cool deathnote tokens

[@AntonioSilva-gs6bg]

So many Blood Artist triggers missed in this game...

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

You can blame me for that one, while taking the notes for the game and narrating I missed 4 of the Blood Artist triggers. Bill should be at 4 more life by the time Blood Artist gets exiled and the damage doesn't really matter, but if I remember correctly it was split up somewhat evenly among his opponents.

[@kevinj4002]

Lol I run an Ayara tokens/aristocrats deck with blood artist and all the similar effects. I miss so many triggers every game. I always mention it and say im gunna be on point with my triggers, but I miss them so often its a running joke in my group that Ayara isnt a acary deck because I always forget to win

[@DarkEinherjar]

Is it just me, or these games are way more interesting when spells aren't eating countermagic 90% of the time?

[@robot8582]

I mean most of the time when a spell isn't countered the game ends

[@lucilogica1209]

Noxious revival isn't as good when you have to basically pay 8 life. And yet somehow it's STILL pretty good

[@MarvelOfRain]

I cannot help but feel that the Ruric Thar player missed his chance to take out the Thrasios player. For the Ruric There was a bunch of points where he sent his general after the Sad Farm player who had plenty of life and blockers. If he instead pressured the Thrasios player he could have lowered his life total. I know it is easy to say in retrospect, but at least when he saw Seedborn Muse off the top he should have started going after him.

[@zedisilluminati9449]

Because Sad farm hinges so heavily on ad naus, it's better to try to deny them as much life, and therefore as many draws off of naus, as possible

[@Aldrnari956]

Oh, go figure the Thrasios deck wins after going infinite. Who would have seen that coming?
