[@Jordansayegh10]

Most valued card has to be reality chip……. The ability with necropotence and counter balance made it a back breaker of a card and stopped almost the entire game!

[@lexisanterre]

Yoooo that birgi turn was awesome! So much interaction from every player at the table, copying and loop-holing various cards. Copying chord to get dualcaster to copt chord to get magus - what an awesome game.

[@natedawg4045]

Fantastic game. It was the kind everyone hopes to have when you sit down at a table. Tons of interaction. No clear winner until Birgi sang, but was obviously a fun one. Well done!

[@Zack420]

What a game! James really kept fending everyone off a win again and again and Jordan’s board looked so sad after the Cyclonic. That really just set Drake up for the win in the end though. Just giving him the ability to cast everything with Birgi providing free R every time and getting the storm count up. Sweet win with Grinning Ignus and Birgi looping for infinite storm. Too bad no one had any counter magic left. It was a real slugfest grind of a game. Really awesome to watch!

[@Dorkness-Unleashed]

I love seeing a non-Blue deck win in cEDH. It's always soooooooo satisfying. Great job, Drake!

[@DrakeSasser]

Thank you!!

[@djnewellmit]

I think this is one of my favorite games in a long time.

[@djnewellmit]

Great interactive play, everybody doing their things, and more!

[@ycpsoto]

This is probably one of the most satisfying games of magic I’ve seen. Everyone had their boards going. And I had no idea who was going to pull out ahead

[@geiken1478]

Probably my favorite game to watch. It was all over the place. And my favorite spell won the game. Grape Shot

[@StackedEDH]

That last turn was WILD.

[@DrakeSasser]

Like those hits? HUF might be playable if it always hit cards like that LMFAO

[@jamesgorospe990]

That storm deck made me happy! So happy to see such different decks go at it. a bit more refreshing to see than thoracle

[@everythingcoveredff890]

I’m so glad to see more Spara! It’s my one CEDH commander, and a fun way to play the game!

[@thanhavictus]

I'm actually impressed someone is playing normal fair magic as Richard Garfield intended.

[@windy7820]

Always a good time when a table dies to infinite Grapeshot

[@jankarenagames1054]

I really love a Birgi storm win

[@tylercraig5633]

Yoooooo this was one of y’all’s best games! Was so excited to see Birgi in action. Fantastic win

[@kevinsimmons5343]

Okay, WHOAH. What a sweet game!

[@TripsAhoy]

Grapes are pretty healthy!!! Great game.

[@fullwipesquad2233]

Last few episodes were reaaally good imo. Games aways felt somewhat unusual and special

[@TheRDRipley]

I'm really glad to see Alela being played in a cEDH game. I think she has ALOT of potential.

[@egoish6762]

That game was a banger, cyc rift such a blowout but what a win line. Necro and counter balance with chip held everyone back.

[@snotice12]

OMG! Not a Thassa's Oracle // Dark Consultation win with 3 blue deck present. THANK GOD! Great video as always, :)

[@bgeda]

Now THAT was an INCREDIBLE CEDH game. Great showing from everyone. Tons of back and forth, really awesome decklists too. More than once I had to stop and see what a card did!

[@mrmrmeta3698]

I love the reality chip, it’s just a balanced bolases citadel

[@tristanvircks3071]

It's just a future sight jellyfish lol

[@donaldbrorson4583]

Future Sight if it was an equipment*

[@krlewis27]

I use it in a shorikai deck. Definitely gas

[@kingfuzzy2]

Oh honey it isn't as balanced in fact it might be more broken in the right deck.

[@donaldbrorson4583]

@@kingfuzzy2 you could say the same for citadel tho…

[@eyeh0]

Always nice to see fun esper commanders

[@youngmedusa34]

What a crazy game! This one was really fun to watch. Fun decks and fun interaction. Keep it up boys, you’re doing gods work

[@jtb818]

What a fantastic game and pod!

[@kstandish42]

I love Alela, glad to see this deck and I will for sure be taking notes for my own cedh list!

[@Basskin]

Cheers mate! The lists on Moxfield if you want to steal anything or highlight any cards you think would work well in it!

[@kstandish42]

Definitely very tempted to add in Heliod/Ballista, I was running it in Greasefang but it’s a two card swap that works naturally with Alela having lifelink and I particularly liked The Reality Chip too. No Serra Ascendant though?

[@cocoquake]

I love seeing Cyclonic Rift backfire. Mike just gave away the game to the storm player 🤣

[@kevinsimmons5343]

I see reality chip, I click 💯

[@TheRealSasuk]

Loved the perfectly timed Cyc Rift

[@Jay15199]

That was so grindy! I loved it.

[@Spirited_skiing]

Really interesting decks in this vid!

[@krenarspahiu4261]

I wanted to play falco & this just sealed the deal for me. 😍

[@lukewalkercummingmetcalfe4912]

Love the content keep it up

[@kingfuzzy2]

18:00 notably birgi Mana doesn't fizzle

[@WowItzNemo]

Can we talk about how Mike flips a coin?? I had to rewind it several times to see it 😂.

[@SiusBleach]

That was such an incredible game!

[@Kallistosprom]

Great game, lots of movement

[@Gabrielarandapedroza]

:D Birgi yay she told them how it should ended :0

[@cinderlord4950]

whoooooooo first lmao. But also counterbalance/necropotance is a spicy synergy

[@vds92]

Beautiful game!

[@sangelititan1171]

Mike is a monster flipping that metal coin onto his cards like that, Jesus Christ man.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

It’s one of our custom coins. Made of a lightweight aluminum. They don’t damage your cards!

[@MentalNewb]

What a game!

[@Y0kAiS]

This was a nutty battle lol

[@adambandurak8913]

Sweet game

[@TheMcK777]

Going through the subtitles in the intro of players and found a typo that actually would make for a cool design *Comboat* - combo combat

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Thanks for the catch!

[@timtauber5557]

Was a good game

[@liamw.1313]

Why did wall of roots resolve at 17:22? I can't see why James would let that resolve.

[@DrakeSasser]

Allosaurus Shepherd

[@r_dmcno]

Nice game!!!

[@addambarcelos]

Necropotence, counterbalance and reality chip. Quite nasty sinergy

[@jaredsmith6565]

Love Birgi. She’s awesome

[@slippyminaj]

When the ogre went unanswered after the suspend cast, I knew the game was over

[@Lykrast]

Hell yeah for Tivit!

[@TheQueerLeaf]

Nice

[@matthoward6130]

Were folks watching Commander Damage? Seemed like Tivit was getting in for some beats

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Yep they were. Mike was spreading out the attacks.

[@AxelShaw]

Damn, I thought Counterbalance + Top was bad enough... introducing Reality Chip + Necro + Counterbalance... >.

[@the_cosine4353]

Good to see a game of competitive EDH without Thoracle, Ad Nas, or Underworld breach

[@ggangulo]

eat my grapes! Birgi crushed it!

[@DrakeSasser]

Hazoret's Undying Fury remains one of my favorite pet cards and this game did not help with my problem LOL Burger Queen FTW 🍔👑

[@DrakeSasser]

Also using Twinflame strive and having it matter is an "achievement unlocked" for me.

[@asitisrequiredasitisrequir3411]

Cyclonic rift what a card amiright

[@slymcfly123]

Best game ever.

[@089Memo90]

Craaaaazy Game 💀

[@mariolucrezi2195]

Did drakes die from commander dmg??

[@tylerwood1625]

Mono Red Cedh, try Zada!

[@davidpipes6805]

Tivit player should have played commander turn 2 then use the two treasures to cast dauthi. That way he could dig with clues the next turn even further. Maybe a little misplay? 🤷‍♂️

[@LRock617]

LFG BIRGI!!!!

[@WiiTara]

Looking at the voting results vom Tivit I have to say Im a bit suprised that some of the players decided to give Mike treasures. My train of thought would be to all vote clue here to basically drown mike in clues, which seems like he is able to use less effective compared to treasures.

[@Basskin]

Early on the Treasures/mana wasn't as big a deal as he was quite locked down, whereas the card draw helped him out more. At points he only had 1-3 cards in hand. That was my logic anyhow

[@WiiTara]

@@Basskin Ahhh okay, I see :) Thank you

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

After a certain point, you rely on clues to draw you and get you back into the game. If you get a thousand treasures but no cards, you can't do anything with it. They saw that Mike was choked on cards, so they didn't want to feed him more.

[@jamesgorospe990]

Wouldn't that lavinia keep Jordan from playing his mana crypt ??

[@angelogabriel5591]

Nice game without thoracle consul (:

[@thanhavictus]

These are so much more interesting without Thassa's Oracle

[@ratbaby3107]

Wait, wouldn't the copied chord of calling have x=0?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Only if you cast it without paying its mana cost. This one was copied, meaning it keeps all of its characteristics.

[@ratbaby3107]

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG ah, right thanks

[@BraxtonMeyer]

unfortunate that this match had one deck i could legally root for.

[@Mendozer7502]

I know you'll never do it but would be neat to see. But Ryhs the Redeemed is my favorite. He's just fun lil commandor.

[@mthlay15]

*spoiler* . . . Got any grapes? Spoiler

[@papanurgle1169]

Remember: if you like to damage cards start throwing metal coins over them!!

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Mike is flipping one of our custom coins. They are nice and light and designed specifically to be flipped over expensive cards.

[@BetterCallKahl]

Fatal grapes

[@emano3203]

Birgi win = Like

[@zealot2147]

I like counterbalance countering ledger shredder and not wall of roots

[@Basskin]

Pretty sure Shepard was still in play at that point so there was no point even flipping.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Allosaurus Shepherd was on the field. It couldn't be countered.

[@Johnny-bg2xx]

Is it b/c of sponsorship ya'll don't use Moxfield? 🤔

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Yes

[@P3rvenc]

You can't counter the counter balance trigger with red elemental

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

It was trying to destroy Counterbalance

[@liamw.1313]

He didn't, he destroyed it. That way James was forced to go find a different mana value in order to keep the Counterbalance around, which meant that there would no longer be a 4mv card to counter treasonous ogre.

[@TheSheeplesChamp]

I'm pretty sure it was targeting the permanent, not the trigger

[@aibalta6340]

Is it me or their links for deck lists never seem to work?
