[@donaldmack4402]

Great episode per usual. It is really awesome that you had a member on, and that Khawaja interacted throughout the video. Putting his commentary in the video showed us how much fun he had playing and how genuine you guys are. Keep up the great work!!

[@AngelHernandez-wu3et]

Only took $1200 to do so🤣

[@Dracomandriuthus]

Hamster just being like "Let me eat five kill spells"

[@iPhoneeditor]

Om nom nom nom

[@willhodges8924]

The hero we all deserve.

[@AaronBurgan]

Man as a lover of Pantlaza it was so sad to just watch nate do nothing this entire game 😢

[@chasesimmons3053]

Yeah, he definately should have been looking for a value engine with a stax deck and a control deck at the table to stay in the game

[@TheRDRipley]

You guys have perfectly captured "playing magic with friends". You guys are just the best.

[@RiskyComment]

You should have that guy on more often! I liked his vibes

[@sethritter5040]

With Khawaja's turn at 19:37, could he have used the natural order to get eternal witness instead to get temur back and go for a win?

[@Vildhjuggah]

Yall play so many of khawajas decklist it seems, cool that hes playing on the channel finally.

[@chrisbedrin3618]

I feel like if there's an indication that the blood pod player has pod in hand and a Ranger Captain in play I'd have probably saved the Haywire Mite instead of burning it on the Wishclaw.

[@MetaLibanez1]

Is there anything better than watching cedh with the lads and listening to riffs in the background.

[@GOOMBAHx]

I fucking love you guys. Moved to a new state and can’t find a magic shop. So you’re content is my final I find a table. I appreciate you’ll

[@bryantan4228]

2:43 Tymna’s ability pays life as part of resolution. You don’t have to draw.

[@willmatson3103]

Was just about to mention this.If someone flashes in a Notion thief before the trigger resolves just don't pay the life.

[@tylerduncanson2661]

Cameron could have cracked his Emergence Zone to replay the One Ring before RCE resolved, but that obviously requires guessing that Dylan had a 3-drop in his hand.

[@cowonavuwus8758]

Khawaja seems like a nice guy! Would love to see him in other episodes moving on❤️

[@a_level_70_elite_raccoon]

Poor Nate. It's always rough to be in that kind of position. Great episode, Khawaja was really cool.

[@anthonybuck4864]

I think Cam could have recast the One Ring with his Emergence Zone with the Ranger Captain of Eos ability on the stack and saved himself another turn. Looks like he had just the right amount of mana

[@Maverickstyg]

Hope you guys do more of this setup where your guest interacts with you two on the commentary

[@Xeno-MTG]

I think Khawaja had a good spot to politick after Dylan blocked with the Ouphe, telegraphing the Birthing Pod. He has the Haywire Mite, so he could've talked to Cam to either not use the Wishclaw or use it for something to stop Dylan, so there is some interaction available that works through Ranger-Captain.

[@willpimblett9764]

Blood pod is so good love seeing it in action

[@moop6667]

Was a really fun episode to watch khawaja was a cool guest hope to see more of him

[@ethanstates884]

Glad to see Khawaja on the episode. Enjoyed the commentary throughout the game. Great game fellas. So grindy.

[@Sami-rw8cs]

I love seeing Minsc&Boo do their thing. My deck is definitely a casual one but definitely is higher powered. I luckily pulled a Boo token from a draft but hamster zombie works too 🤣

[@argonnas2]

Great episode

[@Knusti000]

Cam could have, instead of Bowmasters, just crack EZone and Cast Ring and have prot against Dylans Win, right?

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Yes, cam was just thinking/hoping that Nate removing the tymna would be enough to stop the win, so that he could still hold up more mana after for another player if need be. Hindsight’s 20/20. Flashing the ring back in would have been great

[@HansHurin]

@@PlaytoWinMTGdidn't he have enough anyway? I see four lands, E-Zone and a Felwar Stone?

[@82ndhaydini]

Yes but ranger captain of eos's silence effect already resolved

[@nathanielgarcia6719]

Both yall are studs ❤

[@DrkNinja_]

I really enjoyed the Khawaja commentary! Thank god Dylan finally got a win! lol I know in other games you get Ws but all the posted games you lose lol.

[@ChichimonLeagues]

26:19 jolly good show indeed

[@toctheyounger]

This was a really great episode. Nice to see the talking heads from Khawaja, I'd be stoked to see more patron gameplay! Also I know its not top of the 4c pile, but bloodpod 4 life

[@Snamify]

The sniff for Birthing Pod! Sooo true!!!

[@sylorknag]

This gotta be one of my favorite matches on the channel. Now I have to build myself a deck with Ruric Thar and Sire os insanity lol

[@WarmasterSidious]

Awesome game!!!

[@andythomas6236]

Got to participate in my first play day in a game with Dylan today!!! My deck didn't get to do much letalone show it's spice but I got staxed out hard by Dylans t1 archon with a fetch in hand and a ritual for an eary ad naus both completly shut down by the archon. It was an absolute blast tho and hope to join again next time. Love the content thanks for a spectacular game and I quote Dylan on this, "let's make this game quick." Followed up with a t1 archon roflmao blood pod 2 thumbs up

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

hey andy!! CRAZY GAME. we got done in an HOUR with combat damage. i'd say that's pretty quick ;)

[@nikovan12]

This is one of my favorite episodes of the channel! It had a bit of everything!

[@ary31415]

Question about the Sire of insanity turn: did people want the trigger to resolve so everyone else had to discard their hands, or was there some other reason to not use removal in second main before Sire could trigger

[@snowj1ggles]

I have seen Blood Pod so many times on this channel with no success. Glad to see it finally pulled it off Also, I am slightly sad to see that Cam doesn't still play Jeska Ishai tongue twister name from time to time

[@nathanbabcock7393]

At 12:48 does fury's damage resolve still if the gilded drake is sacrificed on target?

[@madazander]

Dylan you gotta be the best blood pod pilot out there. Love watching you play this deck

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Those are very kind words, but there are so many good blood pod pilots out there so much better than I.

[@alexbraxton5903]

love the editing and the guest commentary, loved the flow of play. good vid and gameplay as always. you rocked Khawaja!

[@snowgazer6955]

Where can I find Dylan’s playmat?? I love the design and have looked all over, was it a past sale?

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Those are are just doodles on an OG playmat

[@stormtrooperjeepjk]

Dylan, I have a question..... Everytime you cast a creature THEN attacked with village bell ringer why not attack THEN UNTAP?

[@DoomedRN]

Was it possible for cam to do emergence zone and cast the one ring at the end?

[@Thejoker726]

*deflects fling to face* "I'm not stupid! I'm smarter than you!"

[@benyura]

isn't Tymna a may?

[@Browny93]

am thinking so as well, i would have assumed that he could have just decided to not pay once the notion thief resolved

[@chrisvanderheiden12]

This is correct. The important difference between tymna and some similarly worded triggers is the "If you do" rather than a "when you do" at the beginning of the Llast line. If it said when, a second trigger would happen once the choice to pay life was made

[@khrayzeegaming2389]

The temptation to draw with tymna is the must part though

[@TheSpiritombsableye]

13:14 it's competitive if it's optimal for your build, it's role, and the metagame.

[@taylormatic]

Nice game

[@TripsAhoy]

1 billion cats! Nice game. ❤❤❤

[@TheRDRipley]

Just realized that Animatou is RIDICULOUS with the one ring

[@alanschellenberger9356]

dylan im pretty sure you can decline tymna trigger when notion thief is around

[@FluxRevived]

ayo where did dylan get his playmat? it looks sick

[@TheXsarrowX]

Did I Mandela my self, but doesnt Runic Dino trigger off fetch lands?

[@rainbowdash2057]

Go for the eyes boo!!! 🐹

[@chinaman8888]

Sure love watching 3-person EDH pods :P, but seriously I felt so bad for Nate

[@Servbot40]

Real quick question here... How much was floating after casting Mayhem devil?

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

just 1

[@KidoBedo]

Ugh you make me wanna buy the last 10 cards for bloodpod. But idk if I should buy the other 20 cards for a Sisay deck since it’s the same price

[@barone1300]

Cameron, you discarded minamo, and then cast the one ring, and passed with 4 mana untapped. Why didn't you play the minamo as the land for turn instead and give yourself the option to double TOR activations (I feel like I must have missed something)?

[@windiesel2826]

After Sire and elf was cast you can't jump phases, so Cam could have time to respond before endstep

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

yes of course. cam chose to wait until the trigger was on the stack

[@Nothing0Zero0Nill]

With Tymnas trigger on the stack and a notion thief on top can Dylan choose to not pay life and give Cam draws?

[@johnnyd740]

Cam could have flashed in the one ring?

[@GoldSabertooth]

Blood Pod 4L

[@rockstaa13]

Awesome game. Sucks that nate got to basically not play this time.

[@zachery3406]

Did they just forget about the deafening silence?

[@BrashM]

Have you guys seen that ComedIan is making major changes to his Winota deck?

[@hoythedrick7870]

Couldn’t Dylan have declined to draw with Tymma since it was still on the stack when notion chief came in

[@eygohs4723]

I was wondering the same thing. You don't have to declare that you're paying life until the ability resolves, right?

[@mgmed0368]

When cam cracked his fetch land shouldnt nate have drawn a card from runic armasuar?

[@DaniMarko]

Man, Nate, sorry buddy, that was so sad!

[@bloopereell]

2nd Pantlaza game and no commander cast rip

[@twi1ightknight]

doesnt armasaur trigger off a fetch?

[@zachw5768]

Only off non mana creature abilities.

[@twi1ightknight]

@@zachw5768 "Whenever an opponent activates an ability of a creature or land that isn't a mana ability, you may draw a card. " armasaur hits lands, fetching is an ability.

[@friendo6257]

Had mana up for flusteretorm. Would have countered the spell. Why would you waste the force of will?

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Fluserstorm can’t counter solitude!

[@mitsosoftheelves]

13 turns!? What is this, casual commander? ;-)

[@jugglingfreak369]

Man Nate can't catch a break.

[@timtauber5557]

Poor Nate 😢

[@mmastar25]

First to the egg!

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

EGG

[@Karste1n]

Great game, love the grindier games and Khawaja was great in the game and commentary

[@kellyperry5009]

Blood Pod wins games !!!!!!! 🤜🤛🤘🤘

[@aeolus7762]

Damn I love Blood Pod. It's such a fun Tymna deck, unlike Blue Farm, that one's just boring.

[@park9199]

Boo is a cool deck but having a green/red combo deck feels so bad for the table. It doesn’t go fast enough to threaten t1/t2 wins and can’t stack out games hard enough to make the combat dmg feel meaningful. Maybe if there was more turbo naus desks at the table using their life, boo would feel stronger. But this felt like 3 cedh and then a really strong commander deck playing each other Regardless, good shit K on the commentary 🤘🏻🤘🏻 thanks for making a good one

[@McMullenDistillery]

This is a different build to what the competitive Minsc & Boo players are running at the moment. Generally the M&B meta is off Hulk and not running Godo

[@rasarock5107]

Bruh, I legit thought Kawaja was Asian or at minimum Arab. Lol.

[@ilikepeople1795]

bowmaster triggers :(
