Orvar vs Obuun vs Yuriko vs Selenia EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering

[@kingmric]

Those sleeves muddstah are spectacular.

[@newtpondskipper]

Agreed! Which set are they?

[@KayTeePancakes]

Would also love to know where you got those sleeves !!

[@TheBalogna7]

Obuun has such a cool ability...I just can't ever get past the fact that his artwork makes him look like a Scooby-Doo villain.

[@Erspel]

5:37 "he gets two counters on Obuun" As Solemnity is visibly displayed on screen, since it was cast seconds ago

[@MTGMuddstah]

Being aware of board states is hard.

[@jaredsmith3938]

@@MTGMuddstah I relate

[@Erspel]

@@MTGMuddstah Yeah, I know, It's far harder to keep track of effects while playing the game than while watching a gameplay online

[@MTGMuddstah]

@@Erspel It was also a bit of a weird interaction. On the plus side though, I don't think I'll let that mistake slip next time I see it!

[@Fan101ish]

I think phasing out phyrexian unlife would have killed him when he was at - 1, very fun selenia deck nonetheless

[@AxillaryPower2]

I was going to ask if it should have worked that way.

[@TLG1255]

Yeah… pretty sure that definitely kills ya lol

[@StefVanDerVelden]

yep he would have die according to the rules

[@jaredsmith3938]

Orzhov

[@zerowolf0006]

Ya I believe he would be dead

[@1234573332]

Chris should have had 15 life at 5:58 due to Solemnity being out and preventing counters. Also as others have pointed out Chris should have lost the instant he played Protection, since Unlife left the battlefield meaning he auto loses

[@fredcrinson2715]

I love the classical music playing in the background of your videos. Something about MTG & classical music just fits so perfectly together, accompanied by your narration.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Agreed! I like to envision wizards blasting each other to bits to Mozart.

[@mrmustache7023]

Can we get a decklist for that selenia deck looks so fun

[@hiddenleaf414]

Ayyy love me some Yuriko games! But that is not an opening hand I would keep.

[@ianvanbakel]

That yuriko deck looked so bad, nice lands though

[@markstephenhughes]

@@ianvanbakel Ouch. I feel personally attacked. (Here's my decklist, in case you want to actually see the deck. www.archidekt.com/decks/1595288#Yuriko_-_That_one_guy_on_youtube_thinks_it's_bad

@@ianvanbakel Honest question. How would you improve my deck? Decklist below: www.archidekt.com/decks/1595288#Yuriko_-_That_one_guy_on_youtube_thinks_it's_bad

[@alexmunoz6890]

@@markstephenhughes i would recommend starting with focusing on getting out yuriko asap as that will be your main win con. You need memnite, ornithopter, and other 0 drop/1drop creatures. Low cost changelings, ninjas etc. Then ways to manipulate the top of your deck like brainstorm and senseis divining top, I didnt scroll too far in your list so I don't know if those are already there.

[@hiddenleaf414]

@@markstephenhughes Take out Sorin Markov, Ugin, Aminatou’s Augury, Profane Command, Skull Storm, Stolen Identity, Treachery, Anowon, Jin-Gitaxias, Mikaeus, Oona, Rune Scarred Demon, Sheoldred, Ulamog, Vilis and Whispersilk Cloak. None of those cards belong in a Yuriko deck even trying to hit to level 7/8 power.all way too slow and not really helpful for what the deck wants to do. You should have at MINIMUM, ten 0-1 cmc evasive creatures like Ornithopter to Changeling Outcast. You should always be hitting someone with Yuriko on turn 2 with her Ninjutsu ability. If you ever finding yourself hard casting her you’re probably losing that game.

[@fel_95]

that Selenia deck was amazing! Any chance we'll see the decklist?

[@michaelrichards5253]

Andrew always takes the first big hit lol. Also very cool combo w/ Doom Whisperer.

[@Kazz1187]

I saw that and started grimacing immediately haha

[@NyxTheScary]

One of my fav games so far. That life exchange was nasty

[@LJMWscreamingcookie]

Hour of revelation should've blown up his talisman, not allowing him to go out on his own terms.

[@Zaalbarjedi]

So, first Chris does not lose the game when he TefProt himself at -1 life, and then he does not destroy his own artifacts with Hour of Revelation. Nice...

[@PhazonOmega]

Amazing Axis of Mortality synergies! Love the shenanigans!

[@levithompson1161]

Everyone out here talking about the teferi's protection misplay but nobody has mentioned the extra storm copy that they forgot existed since two spells were cast before flusterstorm. Means Derek wouldn't have been able to attack with the 7/7 land.

[@quietninjariot]

Yeah, cheating from two people. Derek won by cheating.

[@mastamizclix42]

That Selenia deck looks like a deck a psychopath would play with!! Can I get the decklist?

[@MultrakSin]

Selenia shell does translate well for a Liesa deck

[@andreychar1235]

I have two Yuriko decks in my playgroup and I can't imagine any of them keeping a hand without a creature for 1 or 2 mana

[@DarkEinherjar]

I guess the temptation of having two Yuriko on the battlefield was too much for him to pass.

[@markstephenhughes]

It was the Sakashima that made me keep. I knew I would get some double triggers off that, and I was hoping to draw one of my fast creatures. That worked, (14 damage!) but then I couldn't keep it going.

[@markstephenhughes]

@@DarkEinherjar Exactly! The Sakashima is what made me keep it. *Source* The guy who played it.

[@andreychar1235]

@@markstephenhughes dirty bait from Sakashima xD Okay, can't blame people for the risky moves)

[@Osk570]

When Yuriko was attacking, couldn't you have used the griffin aerie to untap Orvar and block her, killing her and forcing him to recast it?

[@newoverlord9507]

is the selenia deck list available anywhere? I really wanna build her

[@mrmustache7023]

Same

[@Optimator7]

I was thinking about converting my Orzhov deck to have Selenia at the helm too

[@Siridakis]

Let me know if it gets posted

[@jeremiah7465]

Is there any chance you have a direct link to the Sleeves you are using on the Orvar deck?

[@ShakaWakala]

Chris, your deck rocks, haha! Very fun and entertaining to watch!

[@tystidelirium676]

Wouldn't the hour of revelation blow up the Artifact that he used to off himself at the end?

[@khazixthevoidreaver9499]

wow chris's deck was cool is there a decklist?

[@CaptKramerica]

Wouldn’t the Flusterstorm at 8:40 have Stormed at least once or twice (since Roiling Regrowth and Kamahl’s Will were cast before it)? Edit: Way more importantly, excellent game and content as always! I’ve had a Selenia pile sitting here forever, might just build her now after seeing this game!

[@zealot2147]

storm was 3 on turn 9 and derek should've paid 1 more since 2 spells cast (regrowth and will) and flusterstorm itself

[@samuelebenenti5279]

There's a list for the Selenia's Deck?

[@plain6677]

Very nice game with 4 different strategies! Too bad we couldn’t see Chris’ commander on the battlefield

[@JohnDoe-df7bl]

Why did you keep a hand like that?! THINK MARK!

[@kvistegaard]

Was quite some time ago since we last saw an Inalla game, hopefully that's something for the near future! Need some inspiration for my Wizard tribal xD

[@greatbrandini3967]

I built Inalla hoping to build around her activated ability. Sadly, it turned into a high power deck that combos off

[@kvistegaard]

@@greatbrandini3967 It's way too easy to combo of with Inalla, I'm trying to keep her as casual/balances as possible to keep with my table so my current wincon is mostly swarm n bounces or card draw nizzet

[@danwilson9522]

Wouldn't the flusterstorm cost 4 mana to not have the Will be countered?

[@permafrost2064]

This video inspired me to start playing my Selenia deck again. I built it a couple years ago on a $50 budget for a particular play group. Can you see if you can get your hands on this deck list? I think its time I throw the budget out the window :)

[@User-jo7jp]

the main reason i built mine is because i had a mirror universe lying around from years ago, which meant i could grab all the other life swap cards for cheap and have every iteration!

[@christiantherkelsen2193]

Can anyone explain to my why there is TWO yuriko triggers in turn 4? I get that Sakashima clones yuriko, but should the sakashima clone not deal combat damage to an opponent for the yuriko effect to trigger? Or what am i missing?

[@markstephenhughes]

Good question! Yuriko's ability is "whenever a ninja deals combat damage" and Sakashima has that same ability. Therefore, when one ninja (in this case, Yuriko) deals damage, the OG Yuriko and Sakashima ability trigger of that one instance of damage.

[@arturol.m.7245]

I still demand an orvar vs mistform showdown! ! ! !

[@alekclark85]

Are those sleeves on the Orvar deck from alter sleeves or something? They look awesome

[@MTGMuddstah]

They're from Alter Sleeve's new line Mythic Frames. You can buy packs of lands, creatures, or noncreature sleeves. (www.mythicgaming.com/campaign/?team_id=11)

Aaawww shit! Yuriko is back. Time to fire up the projector and get the guys together. Auto-like 👍🏾 I know y’all gon hate on Yuriko out the gate. Don’t be haters y’all.

Interesting decks was tough deciding who I wanted to win!

[@88yoho]

Chris doesn’t die easily, I like it lmao

[@DarkEinherjar]

Chris should've lost the moment Teferi's Protection resolved... Phyrexian Unlife phased out, and Teferi's Protection doesn't say "you can't lose the game".

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good catch!

[@quentonmcclure8233]

I mean. To be fair, he had both swords to plowshares and angel's grace in hand, so it didnt matter too much regardless

[@The808andrew808]

[@notsuspiciousthejudgmental2423]

I know he lost but shouldn’t Chris’s mana rocks have been destroyed by the board wipe he just played?

[@briandear1401]

Shouldn't chris have lost when he phased out with teferi's protection as phyrexian unlife phased out?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'm not sure. That does make sense though. I'll have to ask a judge.

[@josemaravilla6955]

Its time!

[@omegatestament]

Hour of revelation will destroy Chris’s artifacts so he had to die to damage lol

[@DETHofMAN]

For what it’s worth, I would take out the sword of the anime and instead put in a spell that could copy a permanent.

[@NaviTheMD]

Mark pls put more 1/1 unblockables in that deck

@@markstephenhughes i think u only play 8 and some of them r 3 cost, u should try at least 11 of unblockable that cost 2 or less. check it out: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/yuriko-the-tigers-shadow-multiplayer-1/ i run 13 of those but its just a preference for me.

[@ncuco]

These altered art on the video thumbnail kinda make it look quite abstract. Had to Google orvar, because I didn't associate the art

[@ErikTheRedd1]

What a game

[@kbobMTG1983]

I have a Orvar deck that is similar to yours and it seems like I always have the same problem with it. No matter what I try I just can't figure out the underlying issue.

[@Core159]

I am here super early today, lets go!

[@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow]

It’s sad to see orvar just fizzle like that. Was it just your draws that were sucky or are you not running the crazy mana orvar?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I think I need to start incorporating more draw. The deck is a conversion from my Mistform deck and I kept the focus on lords and less combo that Orvar typically ends up as.

[@gdiridium5525]

Interesting that chris wouldn't take andrew out after setting him to 1 life, leaving andrew in the game just leaves another set of cards to hurt you, it's not like the other players are going to think "he set this player's life total to 1 and didnt kill him so clearly he's less threatening"

[@caseywellington4761]

I think he was just doing it so the game was more fun for his opponents

[@SuperCred1t]

Obuun is fun to play

[@AidanWR]

The "everyone kill someone" turn was kinda questionable

[@nicholasmahaffey6285]

Who did you get to alter your cards? Details please?😂

[@MTGMuddstah]

Alter Sleeves is a website where you can buy altered sleeves for your cards.

[@raffaelbelmonte2526]

Hour of Revelation would destroy the artifacts. Solemnity would stop Obunn from getting counters. Phyrexian unlife phasing out would get Chris out of game. Pretty cool Dack he made, but a couple mistakes on it, i think it was a new deck.

[@ecclesiaandune687]

Feel pretty bad for mark here, people are being mannered and not swinging at each other and giving life link and he didn’t kill with ugin when he could have, then everyone just swings at him anyway

[@markstephenhughes]

Thanks! We were all feeling pretty mellow, and I was hoping we would share the damage around so as not to give Chris any good life-swap targets. Too bad it didn't end like that!

Why does yuriko trigger twice on the first attack?

2 yurikos on his board thanks to Sakashima.

[@dess8815]

He had two or them so the first hit and triggered its self and then the other saw a ninja did combat damage and triggered as well so two yuriko triggers in total

[@DarkEinherjar]

Sakashima copied Yuriko, so any ninja hitting will get two Yuriko triggers.

[@masonfoster151]

missplay at the end. both of chris' mana rocks should have been destroyed, therefore not going out on his own terms.
