Omnath vs Najeela vs First Sliver vs Thrasios/Vial Smasher | CEDH Gameplay

[@isaacsoong1621]

Like how najeela is enjoying looking at garrett's fishes after that loss

[@thomassmart4227]

Nope the ‘roll off’ isn’t going to get me this time. “Childish Gambino karaoke dance off competition.” Got me

[@MtendoTheSkunk]

Love it when the stacks get crazy! Reminds me of crazy group games before Commander was a thing and people were playing outrageous "4 of" 60+ card decks. So fun! People need to play with more interactive cards nowadays!

[@fungalcreature-3668]

Shauns deck was super cool!!

[@GeorgeAlone2277]

shiny

[@Gshadewolf14]

Right! I didn't expect Omnath to work in cEDH, but it totally did the way he built it :D

[@johnyc555]

Ye and was super lucky as well.

[@justinullman6253]

He durdled for about 6 turns doing nothing but playing life from the loam. If any of the other three decks actually played efficiently, omnath would have been completely shut out.

[@johnyc555]

@@justinullman6253 yup exactly but that is commander. one can win just cause others ignore you. But interesting idea to bring URG value land deck into cEDH

[@chachi_arcola]

This was the first time I've seen Intuition used this way...not to fetch up combo peices but to find an answer to an opponent's attempt at stopping you from doing something. I loved it

[@resplendentobscurity]

Interesting game! Glad someone else has recognized the power of temur Omnath :). I have a deck that I'm looking to tune up to play highpowered / 'cedh' games in my meta, so it's interesting to see the decklist. One of the combos I use at the moment is bonus round, ghostly flicker, and omnath / tayova to continuously flicker mystic sanctuary and get back ghostly flicker which ends up drawing the deck and making pseudo infinite mana. Could be a Thassa's oracle line? At the moment I use it to storm off with Thousand-year-storm and summer bloom, then using Oboro, valakut, and dryad of the illisian grove to ping everyone down.

[@videowiz22]

the stacks in this game were insane! also my boy omnath putting in work!

[@chickenrichard5024]

Watching omnath take a big W just shows that while the competitive meta is governed by a small list of top commanders, an outside play can come in and because it has unique options it can take advantage of specific decks. It was a fun and very stack intensive game and was exceptionally excited to watch. Thank you guys for an amazing game and a big shout out to Shaun!

[@JonathanHecht]

once again we see that even the casual of commanders can be built competitively (and wreck havoc too)

[@cuttlefish6839]

I wouldn't say omnath is casual its pretty busted especially in the color combination it has being temur. It itself is a threat but also has card draw which is extremely powerful.

[@matthewblazer8721]

I'm interested to know why Ben kept plunge while putting tainted pact and consult on the bottom. Isn't plunge just the weakest of those three?

[@Coulrophobia29]

I was thinking the same but I think it might be better with Food Chain since casting plunge still lets you choose a specific card while also increasing the chances of exiling the creatues he needs.

[@julietoang]

Also thought the same thing tainted pact is a better keep than plunge into darkness

[@user-vs7uz4ro8e]

@@Coulrophobia29 doesnt matter - food chain wants them in exile. tainted pact is the single best card in a food chain deck since while you look for a food chain, it will exile important creatures like tidehallow or squee along the way. i think him keeping plunge over tainted pact lost him the game (assuming no one had interaction)

[@Egovinco98]

Prob would still just try it with tainted pact, but im not a FC player. Plunge can take any one card out of a pile of fixed size. If FC is at the very top, the others are bad, since you just have to stop. Don't really know other reasons, or which has higher chance of failure mathematically.

[@user-vs7uz4ro8e]

@@Egovinco98 yes, in the niche case that food chain is on top of the deck, plunge is better. tainted pact has the highest ceiling though - it doesnt kill you like consult can and it can win the game on the spot

[@alltimelowly9913]

I’m a simple man. I see Folger in a game, I root for Folger.

[@rexone9564]

Yea well he cheated at 11:12. ‘Forgets’ to pay pact, then pays for it with sol ring he just cast. 😒

[@alltimelowly9913]

Rex One You can literally see the land he tapped to pay for Sol Ring in the next visible frame after that.

[@rexone9564]

I know he paid for sol ring. That’s not an issue. I’m talking about the pact trigger.

[@alltimelowly9913]

Rex One He still would have had the mana to cast Sol Ring, and the entire table forgot about the Pact because it was an eventful go around the table. He paid for it, would have had the mana to do everything in the correct order, and this turn didn’t even affect the rest of the game.

[@Goopdog]

Oh good, I thought I was the only one who rooted for the regulars. Idk why, but Folger is my favorite as well.

[@harrybaldino8955]

Who want's them to start filming the Challenges before each game

What a great game to watch “:^) loves that Omnath was in it and loved it even more that Omnath won.

[@tylercraig5633]

[@Dev.L]

Omg yes. I love the new Omnath! Glad someone finally played it.

[@cc_rex5017]

And there's already the fourth coming in Zendikar 😁

[@ghostman263]

I wonder if there’s a list of all the challenges and who won

[@vader1137]

it was so good to see some different kind of deck with Omnath, gratz Shaun!

[@TomGalonska]

Damn, that was close at the end. Without that Rift the Vial Smasher could've taken this game oO And finally a game again where the stacks got ridiculous :P

[@nikos731]

Possibly one of the best games in the channel. Kudos

[@LoboGuarah]

Garret delved Pact of Negation while it was on stack to cast Dig thru time. That's why we put cards on the board until everything is done, ppl. Gladly it didn't matter much.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

We actually caught that in the raw game. He delved something else in its place.

[@501Hasie]

That was an amazing game to watch, Loved all the fights on the stack and win by combat.

[@koreyg8552]

Glad to see omnath do his thing, very spicy

[@leviscott8802]

[@dominicanastasi200]

This was super entertaining to watch. Great game!

[@King_Vai]

Yes, I am so glad to see thrasios and vial smasher, thank you folder! My inspiration was from the lab maniacs but they have been busy so I've been all alone in deck building. I have turned my deck into a wilderness reclamation focussed deck and a few extra targets for curiosity, but I am so glad to see someone else play to! Tough break! Your opponent's had just enough at the right times, but great play!

[@ravensenvy7422]

He had a lot of other mana available in the other colors as well.

He had enough treasures to do so.

The list of Vial smasher must be different from what's in the video. At least the list is missing copy artifact, one of the most important winning combo in the deck.

@@agooseloose2183 Just some players, nearly all Magic software, including Arena, and the tap symbol itself. But yeah fair point

[@agooseloose2183]

Alexander Whiteclay to be super honest, tapping to the right would be like suddenly becoming left handed

[@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos]

@@agooseloose2183 It's so funny that it's reflexive like that and I 100% relate

[@evaunitr]

Left-tapper. I'm right handed, so I keep my grip, fanned, in my left hand and my right is for manipulating the board. The act of tapping a card with my right hand = a counter clockwise, more natural to me, wrist flick.

[@cyahspacecowboy3864]

What are those tokens the najeela player has that are narrow? Anyone know where he got them?

[@DenmarkRoulz]

Looks like Garrett unfortunately delved away the pact that was still on the stack to cast DTT at @6:47

[@Goblin300]

I must have missed something. But wasn't Folgers sol ring countered turn 1? How did he then play it again?

[@DarkEinherjar]

He got it back with a Noxious Revival

[@Flazhness]

Watching all these games, makes me appreciate the casual scene a lot more. cEDH decks are 40% tutors, 25% counter spells, 25% card draw and 10% win cons.. I like janky and fun decks. Games last forever and sometimes you discover fun little synergies and try to build something out of it. I mean.. I once created a deck based on a video clip of a Chimpanzee discovering the mouth of a frog o___o (Guess you know what I'm talking about!) So I made a deck full of apes and spells to turn other people creatures into frogs XD

[@patches3592]

Does anyone know what Garret uses for his warrior tokens? I always think that they look so slick and I’d love to get ahold of something similar.

[@Biggzlar]

Folger sleeping on Compost with Vampiric Tutor. Edit: Not sure what I was seeing, but Folger actually draws from tutor, but not from Plunge.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Compost only triggers when the opponents put black cards into their graveyards.

[@שחרשגב-מ4ק]

8:05 I have a question about the play there. couldn't he have won the game? by exiling and casting again first sliver, after limdul's gets a squee the immortal and then cascade his deck? I believe he had mana for that

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

But not the life. He couldn't go through his deck at such a low life total.

[@DarkEinherjar]

At 3 life, he could only dig 15 cards deep, and he probably didn't want to be at 1 life against Shaun, who could ping him by just casting his commander.

[@lolimmune]

No the secret of omnath is out! Why!?!?

[@thenamedoesnotmatter]

Folger couldn't use the sol ring to help cover the costs of Pact of Negation at 11:20 he still could have played that turn but a little differently than what's in the video.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Correct. He technically should've had 1 less mana to use throughout the turn cycle, but it didn't make a difference in the overall game.

[@Mtglilypads]

8:00 how did he recast the sliver again

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

treasures from dock side

[@theturtlegod9900]

can a patreon suggest KCI teshar?

[@thiagosantana7380]

Conter sol ring was personal.

[@roguelikedev]

why on earth did TFS keep plunge over tainted pact?

[@maxmaier7023]

Great to see Omnath!! It helped balance out how sick and tired i am of seeing thrasios everywhere! I hate him so much! #banthrasios

[@Xplayer007]

Even the Omnath deck had a Thrasios in the 99 lol

[@AidanWR]

I find it funny that there's an elemental deck with no elementals, a sliver deck with no slivers, and a warrior deck with no warriors (I know there are a few warriors in there)

[@jessejames9684]

I find it shit

[@cmdrsausage]

Not sure about najeela going for the win there. Lots of untapped mana and nobody had used interaction at that point and food chain had been tutored for at that point. Sometimes just holding cards, leaving mana untapped and pressuring life totals is enough

[@foolishswami.]

Childish Gambino

[@Wizardofexisting]

That was a really good game!

[@funkyfish90]

Countering the Pact with Flusterstorm at 10:13 was strictly better, no? Same result but no extra card for Shaun.
