[@djnewellmit]

Wow, that was a great game. A few out-of-context thoughts running through my mind: "What was Cal trying to do there?" "That card is busted in this deck." x2 "Is Cal lost playing a deck with no islands?" "Oh no, Mike!"

Found this channel last week, and honestly, I'm addicted! Also love how you narrate everything happening so I can have it on in the background and still know what's up! 😄

[@JustforKikX]

Great games guys. That Jegantha/Sissay deck was super cool.

[@zut8448]

Has to be one of the best episodes of all time for me! Absolutely loved all four decks and seeing such unique combos at a cEDH table was a riot! More unique decks please 😂

[@martinarrieta4536]

The Finale of Devastation/Narset Reversal/Veil of Summer interaction: Veil of Summer wouldn’t have mattered right? It says your spells can’t be countered this turn. Narset Reversal doesn’t counter spells correct? Just removes it from the stack and returns it back to hand.

[@iamyourpc]

He probably knew he was beat either way and wanted to die with style

[@djnewellmit]

It was a great - by forcing himself to draw, he loses and Finale is removed from the stack thereby fizzling Narset's Reversal.

[@BrainsZoinick]

It actually makes the spells have hexproof, thus Narset's reversal wouldn't be able to target it

[@martinarrieta4536]

@@BrainsZoinick Only You and Permanents you Control gain heatproof from black and blue. Doesnt include spells

[@clynnwilkinson8980]

when mike is done searching it is waaaayyyy to late to cast a counter.

I like how everyone is targetting eachother and leaving Cal alone. You shouldn't leave artifact decks alone

If your very quiet and timid like people go after the person being loud lol.

[@paulmcclain642]

I don’t know the Oswald deck at all but I kept looking at Cal’s board like surely he can just win here with some shenanigans? I know in Historic Brawl I lose to Oswald typically on turn 4 but also that’s through a Paradox Engine line

[@robertbauerle5592]

For the teferi loop in game one - he couldn’t untap both crypt and chain veil with teferi who slows, but he did have a bloom tender in play so that could replace it easily (cradle made enough mana by itself anyway)

[@SharkbaitGamer42]

Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset only untaps one artifact with his ability. His ability reads +1: Tap or untap up to one target Artifact, Creature, and Land. You gain 2 life.

[@munsulight721]

The end of the first game was not was I expected but I'm all for it. It was nice to see the line play itself out Nice set of games

[@MstrKipper]

Sisay Elk is a real cool deck, being able to use all rule of law effects is really helpful imo. I like non elk Sisay, since stuff like Esika and Nicol Bolas are really helpful

[@SAGEXX309]

The "enlightened" multavult was brilliant and hilarious😂 I have to give that play of the game.

[@aortega]

Loved these games and how they stretch the cEDH meta and border on High-Power. More bleed-over like this!

[@kikemendez6311]

En el minuto 24:20, ¿Finale of Devastation de Mike podía ser protegido por Veil of Summer del Narset Reversal de Ryan? Tengo entendido que Narset Reversal no hace counter.

[@cristianprado8559]

24:21 why would Mike cast Veil here? does nothing against a Narset R. I think Mike wanted to go on his own terms since he knew if Finale didn't resolve he was pretty much done for haha. ggs guys (also love how at 19:57 you guys are a "team" now hahah)

[@djnewellmit]

By going out on his own terms, he also removes Finale from the game preventing the owner of Narset's Reversal from getting a copy.

[@nate1004]

24:24. Just pointing out that Veil of Summer wouldn’t actually effect Narset’s Reversal. Reversal doesn’t “counter”. It copies the spell then returns the original to hand. Reversal would still resolve just fine through a Veil.

[@Mr.Smitty420]

I'm so surprised to have seen Book combo at a cEDH table tbh, I figured the easy access to strip mine would be enough to incentivise against running it at all

[@GoodStuffZeebest]

I wouldn't say strip mine would disincentivize playing it, since I rarely actually see strip mine. There's also assassin's trophy, which I find to be much more common if you actually have the colours (so Sisay could have been running it). However, this is also why Cal played conserate land as some extra protection.

[@LethalPigeon7]

I love mike's library proxy, the new art looks super cool with old borders

That planeswalkwr deck is insane!

[@joaocisne556]

I have just noticed something, as someone who just watches cedh but doesn't play I may be mistaken, but Angel's grace can be very good against certain decks, as it prevents you from loosing and the other players from winning, so you play it while someone is trying to pull a combo, and put them in a tough spots, as he may be beaten on the crack back if he does pull the combo, of he sotps it and try to avoid being ganged by the res of the table if he decides to stop his combo

[@noehonegger4624]

[@joaocisne556]

@@noehonegger4624 that is true, like i said, only watch and don't play Cedh, and as Angel's grace is a gold bullet, they are bad in cedh

@@noehonegger4624 @joaocisne556 there are decks that play it. It's not necessarily bad, it just depends on the context of your use for it. For example, it can be used in conjunction with an Ad Naus cast to safely draw your entire deck and not care about the life loss!

[@kommanderkronk]

How can Blind Obedience be played in a mono white deck when it has a split Mana symbol on it?

[@AsgardianShadow]

The mana symbol is purely in the reminder text so as far as determining colour identity is concerned the symbol isn't on the card

[@kommanderkronk]

@@AsgardianShadow oh now I know thank you!

[@Serouzo]

24:22 It didn't matter this game but Veil of Summer doesn't block Narset's Reversal. Narset's Reversal doesn't counter the spell and directly bounces the spell on the stack to hand. So Mike's Veil of Summer was purely to kill himself, or the 200IQ perspective would be to be the good guy and not kingmake Ryan by letting him resolve a Finale himself

[@styfen]

Ryan wasn't winning anyway. He had no route to beat Cal.

[@malthiryvigor6047]

Check the description

[@ingolf82]

book of exalted deeds + faceless haven = you can't lose the game unless they destroy faceless haven somehow. something they came up with in standard, thats why it's banned there. you activate faceless haven to turn it into a 4/3 creature with all creature types, then you activate the book, putting an enlightened counter on faceless haven, since it is an angel, you then pass the turn and you can't lose the game until faceless haven is destroyed. Edit: Iforgot about mutavault, that works too :O

[@kitsovereign4127]

Small correction - Book was only banned in "pre-rotated" Standard, a format that only had ZNR, KHM, STX, and AFR. Once MID came out it added Field of Ruin to Standard and the combo didn't really take off. Faceless Haven *is* currently banned in Standard, but that's for its aggro role and not as a combo piece.

[@shilohartisan]

13:21 the Ragavan move was awesome! But couldn't Zack have found something that would make Sisay a 4/4 and thus survive the combat against Hallar?

Consecrated land on Faceless Haven, animate it, then activate Book of Exhaulted Deeds targeting it. You now have an indestructible land that says you can't lose the game and your opponents can't win the game.

Cal gained 3 life every time he extorted in game 2, why didn't The Book of Exalted Deeds trigger the first two times? Did he just choose not to use it?

[@SvviftDeath]

It triggers on the end step if you gained 3 or more life this turn. It doesn't make an angel every time you gain 3 life.

[@JBergmansson]

@@SvviftDeath And there were two turns when he did gain 3 life, but there was no trigger, that's what I'm referring to.

@@JBergmansson that I couldn't tell you. There are misplays all the time in videos. Like the turn where exploration map was played and cracked he played mox opal later that turn even through eidolon of rhetoric was in play. Good catch on the missed triggers. I missed those while watching.
