Playing with Punt Squad! Satoru Umezawa vs Morophon vs Orvar vs Licia EDH / CMDR

[@adameister5883]

Please be gentle. It's the first time playing the deck, so I probably biffed a few things. Thanks, Adam OK so I totally cast Energy Tap at instant speed (memory is vague as to why, but probably misunderstanding/misreading Cemetery Illuminator). Hulk was in my hand, and I would have drawn the Tap the following turn anyway, so I don't think the impact on the game was too big.

[@gerstle_cove]

Love the addition of Cemetery Illuminator. Very nice GY hate + value piece. (Hope the inevitable deluge of advice on building/running Orvar is helpful)

[@adameister5883]

@@gerstle_cove I picked up the card on the way to the game, so this was the first time playing it and I really love the effect. Definitely staying in the deck. Sludge Monster also very cool.

[@Thendlessilence]

Once you had whim of volrath and enough mana, you can infinitely make copies of sapphire medallion, and your islands. Realistically you could have won pretty much at instant speed once you had the Aetherflux out.

[@adameister5883]

@@Thendlessilence Yup! But I decided to sit on that as a backup plan, since it's instant speed. I wanted to try win with beats.

[@cagin5]

Yeah at 10:50 you had the game the moment hullbreaker horror resolved. Whim on medallion, bounce Liesa Shroud of Dusk thanks to Hullbreaker, then Whim on Islands till finite absurd number while boardwipe bouncing every non land permanents thanks to hullbreaker and being able to bounce any interaction spell by saving 1 or 2 islands spare. Next turn, make infinite copies of any creature, hold control of boardstate and stack (hullbreaker/whim) another turn for summoning sickness on the infinite copies, and swing. Was not even a need for Reservoir. It was your first game with Orvar so no worries. I'm just sad we never got to see Andrew this lucky when he piloted his Orvar >:-]]

[@AidanWR]

Man, that cat token was relentless. It even attacked people on other people's turns. It was like a wildcard thrown into this game

[@jcalendar882]

Colossification

[@rileyperkins7088]

I like how the only sleeved card in Scott's deck is the token.

[@lonoris74]

that cat token proxy was super realistic looking! 10/10

[@MTGMuddstah]

I gotta ask where Scott gets his tokens from!

[@nope_]

"a cat token goes at adam" 😂❤

[@lokumo13]

With Whim of Volrath in hand, and Sapphire Medallion and Aetherflux out, Adam could have made an additional copy of the medallion and started making copies of their basics with WoV, gaining life in the process and Deathstar'ing people for the win but I liked and respect the way they ended the game instead of that. I am sorry that Satoru didn't get to cheat in a lot of creatures, it just wants a hand filled with heavy hitters and that's not always the case.

[@adameister5883]

You get it :)

[@chanynbayliss3876]

I was thinking the same a turn earlier with the horror.

[@DarkEinherjar]

I knew how the game was going to end the moment the Orvar player was ignored.

[@orvar7035]

Greatly?

[@SShurricane96]

If i played with Scott I would focus him every time just to reduce the wear on his cards

[@markstephenhughes]

That's the nice thing to do! Makes sense to me.

[@nsfedh6917]

Hey worn cards need homes too

[@hunterstephens3671]

They are all already heavily played :p

[@paulgoodridge2269]

You're nice! If anything I would just walk away and find a new game Or buy him sleeves and tell him to sleeve it up before the next game. yes I've walked away from games before because a person was playing with on sleeved cards.

[@dustinpalmer]

@@paulgoodridge2269 what… why?

[@boneheadcycler1412]

I hope you were remembering to do Satoru's first ability! I didn't notice you saying it, but that really does help. Digging 3 deep once a turn is still good!

[@faerie7dragon]

Yes. You should target Orvar into the ground. Still, it was a fun game, but a foregone conclusion when he was slowly gathering resources without enough pressure.

[@afspeellijstnaruto]

Ow my god. I just made a list for Licia (and traded her for some of my unused cards) and then you come with this vid. You're a wizard Andrew! Can't wait to watch the vid.

[@wolffang7877]

12:01 poor andrew, my god i felt that

[@Let_It_R1P]

When Scott cast cultivate on turn two, did. He then miss his land drop after tutoring for it?

[@Shdwtrev]

Yup looks like it

[@JulianHernandez-tn5gu]

Well the title did say there were gonna be punts

[@percius9984]

Scott, buddy, pal, SLEAVE YOUR DECK FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY

[@evanbailey6860]

Every time Adam casts Whim's of Volrath without targeting Sapphire Medalion, I die a little inside

[@prizum217]

As an Orvar player, you cannot ignore Orvar. However, you can do fun things like Imprisoned in the moon to slow Orvar down if they don't have the mana to bounce/copy Orvar.

[@gabrielbelanger1427]

Pretty sure Adam could not cast his Energy Tap from the top of his library with Cemetery Illuminator during Scotts' turn [8:09] since it's a Sorcery and not an Instant. I am right or does it bypass timing?

[@adameister5883]

No you're right, this was a mistake on my part being unfamiliar with Cemetery Illuminator (see pinned comment). It didn't have a noticeable impact on the game it seems, thankfully.

[@SirFrancisBaconn]

I can't believe he's playing that deck unsleeved with such valuable cards!

[@blaze556922]

9:53 That is the most realistic cat token I've ever seen! Where did you get it? :)

[@ishimarumakot0]

THE DAMAGED TRIBAL RETUUUUUURNS!!!!!!

[@PhantomCook760]

I've always wanted to make a Licia deck. Might have to now

[@afspeellijstnaruto]

I just got myself a Licia in a trade yesterday since I was looking at a life gain/manipulation deck as well. Bit of a shame that I am also building a Kaalia deck though. But at least i can use the same mana base and share some of the utility/removal spells!

[@cloud3151]

Why did y’all allow Scott to play a Morophon deck WITH A SIGNED SOL RING without sleeves!?

[@ArmadilloAl]

Mark Tedin's signature isn't exactly hard to get, and there are at least half a million Revised Sol Rings in the world - it's not exactly one-of-a-kind.

[@cloud3151]

@@ArmadilloAl you would still want to take care of the cards regardless.

[@Khiash]

@@cloud3151 if I recall, this is a deck where the condition of the cards are HP/damaged at best

[@MTGMuddstah]

@@Khiash That is correct!

[@watagcomic]

Cool game i loved the cat xd

[@muku589]

What happens if u copy the sludge until end of turn, attack and put a counter on the original sludge, and on a later turn make the sludge lose it's creature type? 😅 wouldn't it keep changing between forms indefinately?

[@DarkEinherjar]

Even if Sludge Monster loses the ability, its effect will keep applying because it was already in effect before. It will stay as a 2/2 with no abilities until it leaves the battlefield or regains the horror type.

[@lordsoth-en4nb]

Who created the cat token?

[@ArmadilloAl]

The cat's mother.

[@MrOhmChan]

9:50 Wow Cat token!!! So cute

[@safertobeanonymous2224]

I have 2 Orvar decks one based on his Mistform Lima’s and one on hating having friends. And even I didn’t put Hullbreaker horror in that one!

[@ivernedit]

Why didnt Scott play both lands with cultivate since he didn’t play a land for turn?

[@MadcookieBG]

7:49 OMG is that card missing a corner? And no sleeves?😢😢😢

[@DarkEinherjar]

Scott is a monster.

[@AlexOvTheAbyss]

Where can I get one of those cat tokens?

[@joshfishing3401]

Love the “cat token”

[@thefirststoryteller9555]

As always i see my Girl Licia, i hard cast like ♥️

[@Cookiemunster779]

I’m confused. If satoru was sludges how was Andrew using ninjutsu still?

[@Onattamato]

Once the sludge monster is removed the creature still has a sludge counter, but the relevant ability (Non-horror creatures with sludge counters lose all abilities etc.) no longer exists.

[@DarkEinherjar]

For all intents and purposes, Omar is playing white sleeves instead of cards; I can't see anything. 😅

[@BillyC500]

10:10 I thought a board wipe was incoming

[@mastershake42019]

Scott cultivated on his 2nd turn and didn't play a land for turn.

[@tendo339]

what's your decklist for Satoru ? I'm building it

[@nigelng325]

I think you missed the satoru draw trigger with ninjutsu.

[@snerdbrgrSkips]

At around 8:00 I noticed that Andrew's board looks like a smiley with dice for eyes. Like the video if you see it too!

[@tomsoyer9502]

why Scott dont put mountain to game after cast cultivate??

[@MTGMuddstah]

He forgot =(

[@tomsoyer9502]

@@MTGMuddstah :( still great game. thank you

[@buddadragonmtg4848]

First if Scott's goal is to trigger people it works but I would probably single him out with him having unsleeved cards. Second ya always have to kill ovar first. Every time I've seen the deck in action it's op.

[@aft2009004]

Oh hell naw scott be playing sleeveless

Why no sleeves

CAT

PET THE FUZZY-WUZZY!!!

[@jimmysoup6047]

Hadn't Andrew's commander been sludged? Which means no Ninjitsu granting.

[@krotash7740]

It's only sludged as long as the Sludge Monster is on the battlefield. It was removed.

[@jimmysoup6047]

@@krotash7740 Ahhh. Right right right. The slime counter doesn't give the new "ability". Sludge daddy's ability modifies what the slime does.

Wow never saw ovar popped off never saw that coming ( Max sarcasm)

[@johnsauer8274]

who cast kitty of doom LOL

[@Anaki99DK]

Get that filthy animal out of there... Yes i mean Scott, who plays without sleeves.

[@Tehnameless1]

The comments are all wrong: they should talk about kitty cat

[@jorgeboi9126]

Orvar is so good I have a deck and it gets out of control

[@CKarasu13]

Orvar is super gross once it gets going. It's a very powerful commander. Adam could have won a bit earlier, as others pointed out. Also, since I saw Gigadrowse played: Its replicated copies don't trigger orvar, since they're not cast. Adam didn't make that mistake, but I know people still sometimes make that mistake when brewing.

[@jackstrawFW]

CAT 💚

[@DETHofMAN]

My guy, copy the damn medallion then go infinite. Many outlets to win when you untap.

[@adameister5883]

I'm aware of that line, a self-imposed restriction on the deck is not to win through infinites, otherwise I'd be running things like Coveted Jewel as well. It's about copying value creatures and beating face.

[@DETHofMAN]

@@adameister5883 I saw your "Please be gentle" comment after I posted. Totally understand and resect that type of build. I was more reacting blindly to seeing the medallion out and constant casting of Whim.. Good game!
