After the game,the winner collected his prices and quickly left. Sheldon then grabbed a deck and told the other players to stay and play a true Commander Game with him. Such a class act

Great game! RIP Sheldon! I was very confused and intrigued by that Saskia deck. Not sure what the end goal was but would love to see it again in action! An epic slog at the end. Cringed a little when Kenobi didn't offer his hand back to Olivia and instead proceeded to add up all the damage he could do whiles she had no blockers or mana and then say how he could have done more if he had done this and that.. Its like you won dude.. It was pretty clear but I guess he was just in like hyper focused mode or something. I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude.. Oh well.. I applaud the patience of playing against a blink deck as it can be a very interrupty and solitary which can be grating. Perhaps not for all but yeah. The enchantress deck is so solid out the box! Loved it. GGs!

olivia, a d20 is a 20 sided die, but the configuration is considered fair, as each good roll is close to a poor roll. a spindown has like numbers close, for easier use, allowing a dice cheat to litterally "spin" the dice (this is the dice cheating term) to land on one of 5 numbers on a d20, and land a 15,16,17,18,19,or 20 everytime (on d6, you can always hit 4,5,6). its why craps tables require you to bounce the dice off the back wall to force them to actually roll and not spin

I think why most folks get bent out of shape about rolling spin downs is that, technically, because high numbers and low numbers are clustered on either side, it is easier to manipulate and more consistently roll well. It is slightly less random. Very, very slightly. Far and away the majority of the average players won't care enough to try to manipulate it, so just give those spin downs a good shake and roll and they'll do just fine 👍

When I saw Arguel's Blood Fast I thought the art was sick, but the effect terrible, so I checked how pricey the fancy version was, and it was actually very cheap. That era of dual-sided foils was really, really weird. Magic has certainly had it's eras of card stock! I think I was curious if it would work with Second Chance to ramp me, but you'd still need Necropotence to lower your life, and you can already find Urza's Saga so this seemed like it wasn't actually worth it. Still great to look at, and in a less pushed deck it's technically a very relevant effect, the only thing that makes it a bad card is that several better ways to do that thing exist, ranging from Yawgmoth's Bargain and Necropotence down to Greed and the like, this is just not as good, it suffers from having been printed after they learned how powerful this kind of effect is. Interesting choice to reference Taylor in the context of 'I'm about to win off of an 'deal with the devil' type card', but I think she'd be amused. I always think of time spent playing Magic when she sings about playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes on Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince. I think Flicker might be one of the more annoying archetypes that doesn't get grief for whatever reason, it's slow, clunky and often generates less value than you need to win quickly, so they have to keep doing these annoying things. At least a wipe deck is more straightforward! That said I want to build a flicker deck because it appeal to my inner imp to just durdle so hard, so this is a case of 'I might not like it because I never get to do it' scenario. Abel is something people fiddle with in cEDH, he's one of the best Orzhov options iirc, but I would expect he's up there for any combination that has a relevant Background. I think if I build something flickery it'll be doing stuff like Yorion Wipes, because who doesn't want to see the Sky Noodle die horribly over and over, even if I gain immense advantage off of stuff like Farwell, surely it's worth it? I'm already working on a wipe heavy Kresh deck, so maybe I'll have my itch for that scratched.

I'll be the first to admit that the card is NOT good. However, a second greed that flips into something relevant for Lich later caught my attention. The backside basically reads "sac a creature and draw cards equal to its power" if Lich is in play!
@mightyone3737 Жыл бұрын
@@ekplayscards I agree it's no cEDH card, but drawing cards is inherently good in Magic, such that people still play Sylvan Library for the draw. This can technically draw more cards if you have mana, and can help save you from dying after it flips fwiw. It's he kind of card I look at as very good design (in a vacuum), it's just that it's not in a vacuum, it was printed into a +20 year old game. The fact that it gains you life potentially when you're desperate can matter, but it's also Black land ramp, so as weird as it seems, it's not even strictly worse than the 'good' versions of the effect, like Necropotence or Yawgmoth's Bargain.
