Quintessential Hijinks! Commander Gameplay ft. Ayara, Isshin, Jodah, Reyhan & Tymna | Episode #76

[@RainB00ts_]

OMG Esmond is back and Gabriel (the chosen one!) is on the show! Its christmas in June! This is best thing to happen all week. Super hyped for this episode. Team Gabriel LETSGO!

[@QMTG]

Reliving this game was just as epic as playing it. Thanks again for having us on!!! 🥰

[@RascalAddams]

I love that Olivia visibly went from just vibing to “oh sh*t, it’s KZbin time” as soon as Eilidh started the intro 😂

[@enoesiw]

Can I just say that I really appreciate how neat and tidy Esmond's board was despite the chaos he had on the board.

[@EDHRECast]

Quintessential Commander + EDHijinks!? Oh hell yeah :D

[@tomasyacachury3386]

The Chosen One reveals himself!

[@lightfut]

Great guests continue to parade across the show!

[@ericap1098]

Esmond and Gabriel are lovely guests. Another great game!

[@wolfgangbarnick3858]

Yessss! Quintessential Commander is one of my absolute favorite channels! This is a dream line-up!

[@ferdithetank7535]

I think with Sawing Elenda in Half you wouldn't get 2 32/32s, copies would have base printed value rounded up(which is 1), so you would've gotten vampires from the original Elenda + 1 from the legend rule'd copy.

[@coleluecke7668]

I am curious on this rulling also... Def would not have impacted this game.

[@ferdithetank7535]

@@coleluecke7668 as with other copy effects, copies receive only the base printed stats of the card(unless it copies something that's already a copy). Counters, auras, "until end if turn" effects, other external abilities won't be copied.

[@TheCoyote808]

That last turn was a completely off the rails piece of work. I love it.

[@PfunkyMike]

Olivia's face of joy when she drew Elenda was great. Thank you Eilidh for enabling her 🤣🤣

[@Chinobobat]

Such an awesome game! So glad quintessential was able to collab with y’all. Also the Elenda play by Olivia as fodder was awesome!

[@sirwolf3617]

37:00 is when a portal to hell opens up.

[@jaywinner328]

This reinforces my view that Jodah wants to play as many protection legends as possible.

[@gd6210]

I think this format gives you more leeway to cover a series while it is still starting out. I like it

[@avatarofpapermagic]

This is the best Collab yet! Love this surprise thank you ladies!

[@packer7915]

I'm thinking about turning my Jodah All Legends into a randomized deck. Have the deck be like 65 base cards (including lands) and then have a 50 legendary creatures "sideboard" and randomly pull 35 legends into the deck. The best part is that the "sideboard" can just continue to grow so I never really have to update the deck, just add to it.

[@sirwolf3617]

This right here is why I love playing with friends. Once something potentially absurd and broken can happen. There's always that one friends who's like "I have to help you make this happen" and I love it. 🤣

[@Werewolfoverlord12]

the ozolith ruling is true. AND it works with both it and Defense, so when the mana gorger died, you should have gotten MORE counters

[@AyrreR]

Love seeing Esmond and Gabriel

[@withasilentg]

Essy and The Chosen One...I mean Gabriel! What a crossover.

[@Spinblocker]

I love Quintessential! What a great collab!

[@mksmok3]

It was amazing meeting you at Commandfest Anaheim! Thanks for being awesome

[@lewish1248]

40:00: “Butt trophy!” I love this! It literally did not dawn on me why y’all called it that till the next morning!😂 (yes, I think abt this show all the time!!😂)

[@ursulcx299]

"Feeding the swarm" indeed, that was so dumb, yet so perfect!

[@CianDelano]

This was deeply entertaining and the end game was the kind of wild and silly stuff I love about this game xD

[@WiLDRAGE777]

Those last few turns were just amazing and the banter was great as always. It's always fun to see whacky plays pay off.

[@Lith5484]

MY TWO FAVORITE GAMEPLAY SHOWS COME TOGETHER

[@frankmagyar5532]

At 28:15 I would've exiled Kogla at instant speed with Kethis' ability to deny the reanimate just to scorch the earth

[@hanschristopherson8056]

Ali’s child screamed at the perfect time 😂

[@kfunky209]

Just imagine if Olivia had Cathar's Crusade when the shenanigans happened

[@skylarthoma5353]

Having had Felisa and Cathars Crusade out at the same time, I can confirm that your board goes absolutely apesh*t

[@chrisdixon7377]

"This is the epitome of fk around and find out" I'm all about that playstyle

[@krash391]

Some engines are fueled by gas. Others are fueled by the senseless blast of 20 inklings.

[@karadras-ccs]

"oh no, boo-hoo" -Eilidh 2023 love to see the Quintessential gang!

[@PaladinLostHour]

Elildh is my spirit animal - winning, losing - nothing is more important than creating the maximal amount of chaos possible.

[@InfinityKrompt]

Dunk on Olivia like Brian dunks on her. Which is to say lovingly and brutally.

[@geromesilva1262]

good recovery...hahahahaha

[@servillo8723]

Thanks to this episode, I am reworking my Bright-Palm deck that was already nuts (seriously, build Bright-Palm with cards that make token copies of it and watch your board go exponential fast) to incorporate even more counter doubling and moving effects. Thank you!

[@Rothruindir]

as someone who is working on a Skullbriar deck, yes, The Ozolith does in fact work that way. Like its a good card but I started freaking out when I saw that it worked that way. Yay for lots of counters and good game!

[@scottricks1676]

love the Quintessential crew!

[@coleluecke7668]

I use the Ozolith, Resourceful & Reyhan in a Modular deck can confirm there is a ton of dice!

[@vawn520]

talk about chaos, that was such a cool game to watch!

[@cuppadirt]

First off: thank you for the content and all you do, I enjoy gameplay channels like this immensely and you're all wonderful people. Secondly: I personally am not a fan of king making like in this episode. I understand the love of wild and wacky shenanigans but if you are helping another player to achieve that to your own detriment or even loss, it feels hollow. I always play to win. If I can help another player to take out an opponent or find an answer I'm all for it, but if I can't overcome what they're doing then I'm not going to enable them. I know not everyone plays the same way or for the same reasons (and games have to end) but it irritates me when someone just jumpstarts someone else's strategy that will kill them and the entire table just to watch the world burn. *Shrug*

[@trizkit995]

Found the blue player lmao jk. But in a random pods* I agree. But with friends that you know and play with on multiple occasions do what you want.

[@MrJuzam]

I totaly agree with you. I love the show most of the time, but if this kind of kingmaking would be done in a game I'm playing, I would be sorely tempted to just go home. Not everyone has to play to win, but blatently helping someone else is rude imho. Esmonds comment about playing 2HG is exactly what I thought.

[@burningpapersun1]

Man that game had some wild swings and a crazy stack. I'm mathed out.

[@Whiskyandrock]

The mana hydra would've been a 15/15 on its attack, you missed 3 triggers since it's any player that casts a spell. 1 for the Ozilith and 1 for Yawgmoth and 1 for Frostfang. Not a big deal but yeah lol

[@MonkeyGone2Heaven650]

Nothing I love more than feeding the degeneracy

[@stratuvarious8547]

Olivia's rage knows no limits, it doesn't matter if you've been goaded, if you hit her, she will try to kill you. Terrifying.

[@ThaMobstarr]

Please bring us the Isshin decklist! ~ the regional Isshin enjoyer representative :)

[@Zimmyt11]

Boros charm was made for times like these😊

[@Stammheiner]

Really loved the collab with Esmond and Gabriel! However, I felt bad for the kingmaking move with no backup plan to win this :(

[@philbalaguer79]

Esmond missed his Jodah trigger when he cast Yawgmoth's Vile Offering. Didn't change much tho, and he still had an explosive turn.

[@jovonfogleman8830]

*baby noises off camera* “me too buddy… me too.”

[@Flyboy245]

Always a great game when you have a thicc stack

[@mightyone3737]

Great guests, great hosts!

[@markrode7245]

Did something similar with Elenda , then my opponet threw down massacre warm on his turn. Was fun while it lasted

[@kfunky209]

I want the Peter Griffin yelling "butt scratcher" GIF to be replaced with Eilidh yelling "butt trophy"

[@melvingomez1603]

Fantastic guests!!

[@Blackadam36]

11:17 epic delivery 😎 lol

[@Alucardtube636]

When the vega cascaded he passed a Heroic intervension 😂

[@EDHijinks]

It's legendary cascade so couldn't cast Heroic Intervention unfortunately!

[@Alucardtube636]

@@EDHijinks ohhh true that I forgot it is legendary cascade

[@dracul115]

[@eorlikm681]

THE CHOSEEEN ONNEEE

[@NerdHerder545]

Super late to watch this one, but Olivia might want to swap Blade of Selves in for the Gavel of the Righteous and maybe find a slot for Legion Loyalty. Myriad effects enable some absolutely ridiculous shenanigans with Reyhan, the Ozolith and a lot of the other legendaries in the deck.

[@kristianfischer9814]

A silly victory is a double victory.

[@theaeskey2502]

Hijinks on a Friday. What a way to end the week!!!!

[@anksingla]

Jodah is my favorite! My version of that deck is only ~$100 though XD

[@Nslygh1213]

This feels like the epitome of this channel. 😂♥️

[@TeaHauss]

The fact that jodah isn't once a turn is bonkers to me

[@ravenjoybower]

Hang on, how did Olivia's board have haste at the end to immediately swing? Or were people just like, "We won't have any answers to that on our turn, scoop"?

[@CianDelano]

The inklings entered during Eilidh's turn, and there was enough of them to kill everyone else when it got to Olivia's turn, making the Vampire swarm pointless but greatly entertaining.

[@blindcommander]

Why did no-one blow up the Ozolith?!? That was the ONLY major threat on the table! Never punished, I guess. SNH 😮

[@GrizzneyGames]

Wow that stack got TALL! 😂

[@blessedlegacy5129]

just curious here all these tokens have summoning sickness since they were created on olivias turn right after initiating combat. The game wsnt supose to end there yet.

[@GrompEconomics]

The inklings were made with a sorcery speed feed the swarm on Ali’s end step before olivia’s turn. The vamps didn’t attack

[@seyah3246]

I feel like there was a missed chance here by not calling this episode “Quintessential Hijinks”

[@rees1058]

I enjoy watching every episode y'all post. I'm dumbfounded as to why you guys don't have more subscribers.

[@EDHijinks]

Thank you Rees! Maybe we smell funny or something 😉 But we appreciate every single person who has subbed and watches!

[@dli199214]

Gabriel looks like he lack sleep.

[@Rh3ttD4v1s]

I hate to be a critic, but the guests' microphone quality made it hard to hear them. That being said I love ya'll's content! Keep it up.

[@seandennehy7613]

Olivia's hair is fire af

[@consolescrub4031]

It sort of goes with the background. That said I think Chandra's hair is a little more fire af (still cool though).

[@MrSchneides]

Great game yall

[@jordonrasmussen2523]

can you play glunch again the last time you played that deck it pulled a big surprise win

[@richardpaley]

Amazing game

[@Shadowof1ife]

I’m on the fence to make a commander deck or not since no game play

[@Shadowof1ife]

Awesome match

[@philbalaguer79]

Continued watching video and he just realized it lol.

[@Michael-s9b1q]

Hijiinks commence!

[@ncklclrc]

This game was awesome but now I feel like I need to build Felisa cause that was awesome.

[@EDHijinks]

I thought this was the episodes rating out of 10 at first 🤣 Thank you Wilson!

[@thadrin]

That really works that way? seems dumb but Olivia says she checked so... sure. I'm always up for +1/+1 token shenanigans.

[@EDHijinks]

We had a judge on speed dial lol. It's crazy!

[@GrizzneyGames]

Man, that sponsor part took like, 4 hours.

[@EDHijinks]

Don't tempt us lol

[@rookt31893]

I watched Spike Feeders. Olivia got dunked on there enough.

[@babaXIII]

Hey look, another fun game where someone just hands Olivia the win. Sigh

[@Dark-Pikachu1]

Olivia should buy a D100

[@davidapodaca9218]

Dunking as requested

[@808SSCamaro]

Can you make video versions with only Eilidh talking 😉 Thanks for sharing! Will there be LOTR games?

[@WiLDRAGE777]

Why? The banter is the best part of this show.

[@nycstreetpoet]

I am much more comfortable playing casual commander. I had a humbling experience over the weekend at a cEDH tournament in New York City.
