Watching that stack battle for Phantasmal Image targeting Dockside put some hair on my chest

[@j1nchuika]

This game goes straight to one of most interesting funniest ones ever in the channel. Great game and great decks. Loved that you just agreed on some things happen, like a normal EDH table would do

[@bradcallahan3546]

Great decks if you like losing

[@felixdecastro]

At 14:05, the esper sentinel tax was 3 because of +2 from Elesh Norn

[@RossBox]

Hi everyone. I'm the pilot of dragonlord dromoka. I will be sending the decklist soon (I keep saying that lol) to the PWP team to have that edited in..I'll edit the comment to contain it hopefully. Between this game and now there's alot of improvement to own decks, gameplans, and ideas. I still firmly believe there is room for GW in cEDH. Personally. Yasharn is my go to pick for the GW commander right now. It's abilities are superb and ramp on entry is a joy. Dromoka is a huge beat stick that just amused me for a few months. Anywho any feedback, questions, or shit talk the "dromoka! In cEDH! Blasphemy!" Bring it :^) But I digress. Anything has the room to be explored for cEDH mindset personally. You won't know until you try things y'all. Have a great day and enjoy the video

[@treybrasseale8901]

What is your reasoning for choosing Dromoka? No disagreement that it's a strong card, but it seems too slow/not impactful enough compared to what was given for the description of your deck and how it seeks to win the game. I really enjoyed the diversity this brought to the table, though.

[@RossBox]

@@treybrasseale8901 great question. It's probably the most upfront question. Why dromoka? I could of easily gone towards yasharn or other options or partner pair. Dromoka just is interesting to me for grand abolisher x2 effect and an absolute beefy problem others need to answer. Since this game I actually am more aligned with playing mono white actually. GW is one I'll revisit with time. But dromoka mocha shake deck is about speed bumps and delaying your opponents while beating everyone over the head or using a few high synergistic pieces together to end games.

[@birthingpod8200]

I play a Marath Birthing Pod combo deck, and i only run 4 red cards in the entire 99. I feel your love for Selesnya too :) I love your deck

[@benjaminking3677]

G/W is very good when playing stax. It’s just finding a decent wincon that’s hard....besides you know just beating face.

[@SackA11ack]

I love this idea. I want to build Yasharn Big Pig, but it’s a beat down deck and I’m inclined to include dromoka. I saw you play a bunch of ramp, that’s probably not in your yasharn list, so I’m curious if you would still include some of the top-end beaters you played this game in the pig deck. I’ll probably end up building Tymna-Kamahl stax beats and just include all the GW beaters lol. GG!

[@FaceRipperReal]

It's nice to see Mike has a mat from the absolute travesty that was CGU, god that whole event was so scuffed it was hilarious

@@alexfisher4442 it was pretty much a flop. They pretty much met less than half of their expected turn out for events. The playmat looks like a kid made it. The cedh event didn't fire as they only got like 9 people. A bunch of events didn't fire off and they had to issue refunds. They also tried to charge a lot for the events.

[@dasfabelwesen]

Ross has a very good taste for basic lands

[@A_Swier7]

To be fair Mike wins because he cast an illegal demonic consultation, had the outcome been not allowing it to resolve the game would have definitely been someone elses game just saying. Though most cons are exiled you cannot allow a play as such especially when getting a card like breach that essentially wins the game. I have had this situation in my play groups and we literally all agree the spell cannot be played and would remain in exile off Jeska’s Will, but to each their own

[@Zaalbarjedi]

Well, technically he could've cast Toxic Deluge first, killing Magistrate, and then go for consult, so it is not like he had no way to cast it at all.

[@derdampflok]

since it was an illegal play they would have to reset it, they cant just say it doesnt resolve and put it to the graveyard

[@apohto4166]

@@Zaalbarjedi true but folks making misplays is part of the game. Part of the "competitive" aspect is not doing take backs because you missed something.

[@Zaalbarjedi]

@@apohto4166 yes, but if you want to fix it, you need to revert whole consult cast, which is much worse, taking into account amount of information that he got from casting it.

6:42 that faerie was blue, but James put on bf a black token, in this case, James could use the faerie to block BUT nothing changes, as Giver could give protection to Blue and everything would be the same.

at 11:45, did Cal search the top 4 for that Tropical or did he search his deck? Because I think that's a Mindcensor on James' field so he should be restricted. Also, shouldn't teh hippocamp at 13:06 die to Elesh? *Edit* I'm an idiot, always finish watching the video first kiddos.

[@zazinjozaza6193]

What a crazy game lmao!

[@alicenya6945]

Honestly kinda surprised at the amount of commenters who seem to think you should never allow an illegal move for any reason but at the same time seems to think that if someone attempts to make one you should break the game in response to try and make far more illegal moves to “punish” them. As people stated, the “proper” response is to just backtrack to before the move which results in the exact same outcome except deluge is cast first rather than second, which ofc is effectively what was shortcut to here, but people seem to think it should have been allowed to illegally cast, but then for some reason just fizzle randomly in order to punish? I get that everyone wants the dromoka deck to get an upset victory but the rationale from many of those angry about allowing that move is confusing at best and immensely hypocritical either way

[@CptMoralSupport]

Pure wholesome gameplay. I wish I could get games like this in my LGS lol

[@WushuTaz]

Great game guys! Where do you guys get some of your proxies from like the old school border Chrome Mox with Eternal Masters artwork Ross has?

[@ma9ical1]

Great game

[@MtgArdeen]

While the game was interested there were multiple rules mistakes, the esper sentinels should trigger once per turn but when the yawgmoth will was first time they drew way too many cards, that and also the illegal resolution with the drannith in the bf

[@anders0111]

Esper sentinel triggers once per opponent, so up to 3 times a turn. I *think* they played it correctly

[@buddadragonmtg4848]

Loved everything about this match guys. Was great seeing some other commanders that most people wouldn't think could be cEDH worthy. Also didn't know karn's ability actually worked in edh. I always thought of it as a sort of wish effect and those don't work in edh. Learned something new.

[@lukecollier2618]

Pretty sure he got that one from exile tbh

[@buddadragonmtg4848]

@@lukecollier2618 he did, I just didn't know karn could work like that for commander. Like I said, I always thought he worked more like a wish card and wasn't much use in commander.

Spoilers! It was a great game, but a disappointing ending. Someone resolves a spell that shouldn't have happened, it's caught and the table lets it happen anyway, and then that person wins because of it.

Mike had Deluge in hand anyways.

[@apohto4166]

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG I get that and I'm not trying to be "that guy" just saying it felt anticlimactic. Misplays are a part of the game, and he misplayed and essentially got a take back and then won.

@@apohto4166 what they're saying is that the Drannith Magistrate would have died anyways, then everything else goes off as normal with the end result being no different, mistake or not

[@apohto4166]

@@thaneofstuff7340 I understand what they're saying. I just consider what happened a misplay. So it feels bad that he was kinda rewarded for making a misplay.

[@pakspack973]

Shouldn’t James have lost the unspent mana from Urza’s Saga since he tapped it for mana before his first main phase on turn 4?

[@Basskin]

It tapped in response to gaining the third counter in the main phase.

[@damonreid7910]

Because of how Sagas are worded (sacrificed/given a counter after your draw step), knowing that Main Phase 1 happens immediately after draw step, when he tapped the Urza's Saga, it was his Main Phase, he keeps it. For example, look at The First Eruption (a different card). The second line would be pretty pointless otherwise. I honestly think Sagas should just say at the start of your first Main Phase, but...

[@Zaalbarjedi]

Putting counter on a saga is a trun-based action which happens right when you move to your first main phase. After that, third chapter trigger and sacrifice trigger are put on a stack, which you can respond to with activating mana ability. It all happens in first main phase, so you can use mana afterward.
