Thanks for watching everybody, we had a blast putting this one together! :)

[@TheKyotoEffect]

It was awesome! Thanks for playing! Good luck on your next demonic consultation!

[@mattie3875]

Great game!

[@kenlikescarbs]

Ryan truly did consult with demons this game

[@valiantcoffee]

That Mindbreak Trap moment was hilarious, fantastic quality and gameplay as always PWP crew👍

[@thomasnoonan2039]

The effort that goes into the production value in this series is evident. Love this content, keep it up!

[@TheKyotoEffect]

I don’t even play cEDH, but I LOVE watching playing with power. This is so awesome. Awesome you had the Dr. that ran the numbers on competitive decks, too! Good to see him on the show. Cool to finally see Ryan play too! I like this format a little more too where we can see everyone and hear everyone’s reactions. I still love Ryan’s narrations though.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Thanks so much!

[@TheKyotoEffect]

[@zacharyleverett2643]

Loving the Masterpiece episodes, hoping for more soon.

[@jeramiahbarclayjr.7839]

I absolutely loved that your videos used to be ten minutes long and I hope you don't stop that series, but please continue with this too. It's great to actually see you guys. I love all of your content.

[@IAmDaedem]

That was probably the most honest Thoracle win I've seen. Crazy game.

[@fosterdawson7339]

I was counting and I believe Ryan exiled 75 cards??? That’s wild

[@drunklog1crecords144]

These masterpieces! I always want more! This is a good service y’all are providing to the community. Bless up baby

[@jackpatcheak7591]

Awesome series! I would love to see a Tayam stax deck in the future!

[@089Memo90]

What a game!!!

[@the_breakfastclub]

Production quality is great! 🥹 (and the people and gameplay ofc 😂)

[@NT_Escanor]

That consult was insanity

[@iambensummers]

One of the best Consults ever lol

[@antonypistachio5476]

Interesting question. I think it's a very in between question mostly because Black clearly is a more supportive colour in the mutli-coloured commander decks but without it, most of those decks lose the ability to tutor and have the most cost efficient win con in the format (Thoracle). I think Red at this point is the most sought after, even more so than Blue just because Dockside and Breach are such obscenely strong cards, and blue being the sovereign of counterspells can't be understated at all. Black is comfortably either second or third most important depending on who you talk to. The forbidden tutors are such insanely strong cards that I can't recall a time I have ever been annoyed when top decking or opening with one of them.

[@TRS-Aphelion]

Incredible game, I love this series so far. Looking forward to many more.

[@paulboulanger00]

Great video guys! Love the series and you brought back Legacy games as well! I know Vintage isn’t a huge thing…maybe a test episode to see it in action 🙏🏻

[@NotRelatedToBob]

Oh I like this series. Love the outtakes at the end too!

[@argonnas2]

DAYUM THAT GAME SLAPPED

[@CrOeDdE]

Production for this looks great 🎉

[@peteryankowsky]

I wish this was more like Little Caesars. I don't care if it's good, I want it Hot & Ready.

[@pwpryan]

This is amazing.

[@TechtonixZi]

Sweet fish chutney Ryan! Great plays! Great game!

[@shadowclothes]

That was the best thoracle win I have seen in a while.

[@LtPuffin]

This was incredible

[@TokuHer0]

Well played all, absolutely fantastic game

[@Soul26Eater]

Amazing video editing. I love the show.

[@SSolemn]

Loved seeing you guys!

[@Xplayer007]

Greatest desperation consult of all time.

[@azerim2039]

Enjoyed this one much more than the first episode! Editting seems another and the game was a blast

[@patcharamitanee]

love to see more of this

[@connorl0204]

Feels kinda kingmaker-y to hardcast the mindbreak trap there since there was no way for it to get back to his turn with ryan presenting win right after. Great game though.

[@ArcDemonStudio]

Basalt monolith with kinan and thrasios ends the game anyway. There is literally no way to fizzle of it resolves because you just draw your entire deck with trashios

[@literNL]

I love this new setup, very enjoyable. One thing I have trouble with is the change in angle when switching from boardstate to face cam. It's switched so to say. Top left on the face cam is bottom left on the table. I think if you would rotate the table cam 180° it should be fine. A weird issue maybe but it seems off compared to other content producers.

[@jukaiforest]

This was such a fun pod, even before Ryan's insane luck. Love to see it!

[@awboqm]

I'd use consultation to tutor someone else's commander or a basic land, but tutoring for the card itself is also pretty cheeky.

[@ModAnonMTG]

LMFAO when Ryan actually cast that MBT I was like WHY???????? OH WAIT THIS MFER GOT A THORACLE IN HAND!!!!!!! That was sick, awesome game

[@eiigth]

Ryan has such a great voice

[@PRrrr_neutral]

Wow, thats so cool

[@enzobourgette]

Awesome. Better if the shots of the two players faces lined upo where they were in the top down shot. Would be eastier to follow. still awesome tho

[@josephgorozdos603]

Absolutely wonderful video, one suggestion though! Maybe it's just me, but the table doesn't match the seating arrangement. To me, it feels like the sides should be swapped. Every time the camera panned to the players I got them mixed up compared to the table view. Keep up the great work though!

[@dylansabin9828]

Cuts between players/table seemed a lot cleaner and less frenetic this episode, but the wiggling card highlights for every card still strikes me as movement for movement's sake. When something like Flusterstorm/Dockside ETB pops up, those big interaction moments, I think that makes them pop even more, but that's just my take. Sharp improvement over the first episode!

[@Karste1n]

that mindbreak trap demonic consultation was amazing

[@abrahamdrinkin2534]

This was a great display of politicking

[@kaisersoto4448]

So fun to see

[@Pyroshax]

I was almost oblivious to this video just passing me by. When a "premier" is announced so far in advance, youtube doesn't move it UP in my subscription feed when it is ACTUALLY released. If I have 4-5 other videos in my feed that have been released that same day, I don't see it at all. I gave my feed a quick glance today, saw nothing of interest and moved on. It wasn't until I checked my notifications (cause I clicked the bell) that I noticed the video was finally released. Just wanna warn in the future that while the premier thing is cool and all, it actually does have potential downsides of people just MISSING the video release.

[@Gweezy12]

it feels weird hearing him in game i like it tho

[@leogon1548]

THAT MINDBREAK TRAP WAS A SPITE PLAY, AS SOON AS HE DECKED OUT, HE WAS DEAD, THERE WAS NO REASON TO STOP SOMEONE ELSE FROM WINNING LEGITIMATELY.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

what are you talking about

[@hesnotbad9045]

Why flusterstorm to protect the diabolic intent? Blowing countermagic before the player who who ad naused protecting another players spell seems ill advised

[@colliecrewnl]

Agreed. Can’t figure out this play

[@slymcfly123]

Amazing game

[@crossr1984]

Once you go K'rrick, you never go back.

[@CeilingNinja]

Ryan looks exactly how I thought he would

[@stefanschmid5994]

When you play black, you don´t only play against your opponents, you also play against your own greed (Pay X life - get or look at X cards).

[@mrmannimaker8509]

Still the well known win con in cEDH just a LITTLE bit different sequencing 🤣🤣🤣

[@Heliobito]

Where can we get those treasure tokens from?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Luxury Playstyle!

[@wanderingaming5805]

If I was in the Najeela players position I would not have casted Mindbreak trap on the Basalt Monolith. I lose either way and there is zero point to king making the Tymna Kraum. Alsooo he could have cast mindbreak for it's alternate cost, so he could have maybe played a second spell.

[@hatebears]

another GRR-eat video!

[@NicolasandDad]

I'm gonna get crushed in Baltimore

[@mightyone3737]

I generally think in cEDH it goes B, U, R, W, G for power level, but the last three are kind of all over the place compared to the first two. Blue's thing is that it's got an almost complete monopoly on stack interaction, but Black is good at a ton of important stuff, including being the best big draw and tutor colours, combined with access to the best Rituals in the game make it both fast and consistent.

[@RafaelPanazzo]

I think that mindbreak trap was a little kingmaking, since he basically couldn’t win anymore

[@Catguyrussell]

Waffles

[@morgoth2425]

if he didnt cast it it would also be kingmaking

[@anthonyi8484]

Another thoracle win yayyy…

[@jean-paulbascelli1078]

Black is ridiculously powerful. You are losing a lot of power and consistency, not to mention disruption and forbidden tutors that combo with Thoracle. You also lose reanimation effects, Ad Nauseum, Peer into the Abyss as win cons. No generic Tutors. No black Rituals. No Tymna. No way I will play without Black magic cards because the benefit outweighs whatever cost you pay short term.

[@Zaalbarjedi]

I don't really understand why Mike trapped Basalt Monolith there. Ryan was clearly representing a win with Thoracle next turn, and with nobody having any ways to stop that countering Monolith was just plain kingmaking.

[@rantingrepublican4523]

Black is only good because of tutors change my mind

[@thief_Entertainment]

Most of the phyrexian mana is in black.

[@angelodegiule1753]

Reanimator effects, ad nas, peer into the abyss. I could go on

[@rantingrepublican4523]

@@angelodegiule1753 ad naus is just a bad tutor in disguise

[@nicholas8739]

Yeah, the best color in cEDH imo is blue. Black provides heavy tutors and mana ramp, but that's its main role. Blue acts as a massive tempo color which allows for countering wins while powering out card draw for your own.

[@dasfabelwesen]

I am not a big fan on countering a remora on turn 1 if it is not a huge mana start from that opponent. Lets say it is why they kept the hand and they force back. You now killed 2 counterspells for one draw engine and are probably loosing the game to whoever had to spend nothing on all of this.

[@ozly]

Holy shit the editing is too much

[@slymcfly123]

Music is Corny

[@leonardoherrera8908]

Thoracle is such an anticlimatic card. Should be banned. cEDH is basically who can Thoracle first.

[@nicholas8739]

You clearly haven't played or seen enough cEDH. Thoracle is very efficient and dominant, yeah, but that's not cEDH alone.

[@leonardoherrera8908]

@@nicholas8739 I've seen enough to know you're right, and I've also seen enough games where it takes the least resources, skill, and strategy to pull off. If Coalition Victory is banned for being an instant win with more restrictions at 8 mana (including all 5 colors), then Thoracle should be banned for having almost no restrictions and 2 mana of one color. Such a boring, lame card that is beyond broken.

[@koreyg8552]

To be fair you didn’t get there. The dude king maked and chose for you to win stopping basalt knowing you had the win. To be fair the non black deck won. Congrats to him
