Storming to win from 1 life while facing that Tergrid board was GLORIOUS!

[@adamwright4482]

[@zut8448]

First game was absolutely awesome! That Peer steal was nuts 😂

[@alexlohko2642]

That Tergrid turn was insane. Really felt like he threw the game by not taking Ouphe and trying to Peer. He was so ahead he could just slowly grind the board no?

[@bigdon9999]

Ouphe wouldn’t have stopped the treasonous ogre from taking his peer

[@Chillax_Bro1]

Most of his mana was artifact mana so he wouldn’t have been able to cast it/wouldn’t have been able to do anything afterwards with ouphe on the board

[@trveheimer6360]

the real crime was the too early popped ranger captain.

[@RLKC8]

@@trveheimer6360 how do? The only other time would be in response to his own memory jar, which is in effect the same thing

[@trveheimer6360]

@@RLKC8 so? he passed without winning so why strip yourself of the only means of interaction you can probably have, being monoblack and the no blue pod.

[@ryznak4814]

That deflecting swat was so good. God I love that card.

[@lukeisstrange1533]

I'm a big fan of Syr Carah so when I saw her getting piloted, it immediately got my attention. My version really focusses on Dragons Approach but its really interesting to see other approaches (get it?)

[@campernocamping1]

*Groan* Take your thumbs up and go.

[@Decavolty]

I like seeing when y'all play different commanders in your pod when someone wins like 2 minutes. Looking forward to see more!

[@schrottinator]

That Tergrid turn was sick.

[@Cozy_MTG]

That Syr Carah deck may be the coolest thing I've seen since that Eight and a Half Tails game with Charles! This was WILD from start to finish. Keep up the great work, PWP!

[@cooldes4593]

Counterbalance, void winnower, and then the kraken sealed the fate of the game. In Cedh (and all high powered formats) counterbalance has a great chance of hitting. Void winnower stopping half of all cards from being cast by opponents, and then the kraken pseudo countering things! His board looked like he was playing regular EDH ! Amazing. This is why alex is def my fav of the channel

[@MexiPerplexi]

Love to see less partner decks played here! That Syr Carah win was spicy.

[@addambarcelos]

Damn, that syr carah turn was sick!

[@tmain1320]

This channel constantly shows the power of counterbalance. It’s an insane card and warps the board of any game I see it in.

[@gapeape3895]

in a format where decks have average mana costs of 1.5, counterbalance is amazing, outside of cedh, its pretty much worthless

[@WrekCreationL]

can't stop flusterstorm though...

[@dimitriosdoulgeris4659]

Alex actually played Sultai because this is what the banner's statement is all about. Power to dominate, cruelty to rule. Bouncing Ad Nauseam back to the hand was the absolute unnecessary, but pure savage overkill. Very nice games!

[@Egovinco98]

8:39 how does sure carah work with storm? I thought/assumed he would exile 1 card per copy, but it's narrated like he gets only 1?

[@mckfencer]

Yeah he would get 1 card per copy, but I think they just skipped over it because it really didn't matter. At that point he had plenty of mana and tons of cards to turn into an aetherflux victory or any other win con in his deck

[@Egovinco98]

@@mckfencer that much is true, just got a bit confused by narration

[@thelordethan3682]

At 14:15, wouldnt March have a cmc of 1 and therefore be countered by the counterbalance revealing Carpet of Flowers?

[@Egovinco98]

it was cast for (1) U + the X for 2, so CMC is 3 on the stack. Whilst in hand, gy and everywhere else the X is assumed as 0, so then its CMC is indeed 1.

[@koanos2448]

Peer into the Abyss is a very good card, but the Target Player part is critical to whether or not it goes in your favor.

[@lokumo13]

EXPLOSIVE Tergrid and syr Carah turns holy crap!

[@mrbioober]

Is Wishclaw talisman supposed to stay on the battlefield when it switches controllers in response to the sacrifice trigger? I would've assumed it would be sacrificed after the controller changes.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

It does stay. The trigger derives from the object, but the trigger belongs to the player. When they don't control the object anymore, they are no longer able to sacrifice it. Simply put, you cannot sacrifice other players' permanents.

[@nickdemichele5269]

Wouldnt Korvold stay in play because of the hexproof clause of veil? Really like the content and would have loved to play in the tournament but promised to play in the team NRG event that weekend

[@emarmy00]

So crazy, Tergrid soo evil, and watching yhe Syr deck go off, I really want to build it!! Noone in my playgroup plays mono re storm, seems fun!!

[@elucor]

My god, that first match was glorious! Mono red has that unique ability of winning from nothing.

[@buddadragonmtg4848]

Man that first game was not the way I thought it was going to go .

[@casm1269]

Jetmir Hatebears sounds like alot of fun!! Especially since Jetmir itself can be a finisher

[@trveheimer6360]

yes, thats the idea! lots of pressure

[@aliertufekci1993]

Props on the commentary in game 1.

[@lorenzotanzi9851]

Nick has the best playmat ever. As a Rem fan, I love it.

[@tylershort6849]

You guys didn't provide the correct decklist, at least for selvala. The opening hand said the London Mulligan was Genesis Wave and I looked at the decklist. There isn't one in the list.

[@tegarsatriyo2443]

damn that game 1 is superrrr

[@spitfiremase]

What's the idea behind phasing out kinnan and these the turn that happened

[@adamantlotus]

That first game was WILD

[@egoish6762]

The tergrid list in the description doesn't have lili of the veil in it, would love to see the actual list. Suspect it's very close but probably several tech choices for cedh. I have a tergrid deck of my own and after once overing Alex's list i looked at the trinisphere in my binder and quietly decided i'm not that mean.

[@emarmy00]

Second game even crazier, never seen simic stax before very cool!!

[@VinnieKielbasa]

Tergrid might be the only commander on the same level of "friends hate you for playing it" as Merieke Ri Berit.

[@nicopackalen4037]

wouldn't syr carah exile a fuck ton of cards cause guttersnipe is storm meaning the copies are different instances of guttersnipe 8:35

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Yes but it didn’t matter because the game was over.

[@omegakalcon]

When Chad cast flusterstorm on the decisive denial, would counterbalance counter the first fluster and then the copy would just resolve and still counter the spell?

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Only the first. That's the thing about storm (and that card in particular). It's extremely powerful because of stuff like this.

[@omegakalcon]

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG That was my thought process but just wanted to be sure. Still glad my boy Kinnan got the W. Great games as always y'all!

[@felixdecastro]

Tergrid should be forbidden in spelltable matches lol

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

It's definitely brutal.

[@Lordidude]

11:00 how does he activate kinnan? He only has 4 mana.

[@rupertbug1379]

Kinnan makes all his non-land permanents tap for one extra manna, that’s three extra manna or 7 total

[@Lordidude]

​@@rupertbug1379 I thought 2 of those were lands. Thanks for the correction.

[@Death_by_Tech]

What would Nick have gotten with that EE?

[@saby7825]

Mono red win was nasty.

[@RoastedPheasant]

Not that it probably matters since he was gonna win anyways, but chad would have exiled 26 cards from Syr Carah's triggers on grapeshot since they were all a sorcery he controlled.

[@Fariorn]

I love Alex' decks. Very good job!

[@Bammab127]

Turn 4 game 2, couldn't counterbalance counter 1 of the flusters then the ignoble tap to pay for the other? He had a swan on top

[@Starkipraggy]

[@quantumlandbooks4005]

[@micheal-leegraham8072]

2nd gsme, Korvold shouldn't have bounced because of veil giving hexproof from blue. Wouldn't have changed the outcome, but little thing

[@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860]

Once the entire turn cycle ended with the tergrid still in the table, her player shoulded gone for the slow grind rather than strong combo. His board alone was enough to win via resources, and at that point, he was Archenemy, with really high HP all around. He had to play control.

[@davidpabst8638]

Nice! I'm creating a tergrid deck, inspiring :)

[@musashibriem1352]

[@FabianoSSW]

I built my HP Syr Carah thanks to chad's Syr carah, THIS DECK IS FIRE.

[@CharlotteMimic]

Does Grapeshot with Syr Carah exile a pile of cards, or just one card? Super cool deck either way!

[@WhiteWizard42]

Each copy will trigger Syr Carah separately as it resolves; you can get a big pile of cards.

[@davidpabst8638]

WTH are those counterbalance hits?? O.o

[@blakerobinson4198]

How does grapeshot interact with syr carrah? They are all separate instances of damage, so wouldn't he exile the rest of his deck when he killed Nick. Doesn't impact this game, but just want to know the rules here

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Yes, they are, but he just skipped doing that because he was winning with Aetherflux right then.

[@Nachtjagerz]

Playing gilded drake against ppl that does not attack is extra good

When you have a Tergrid turn like that, you don't lose the game. You just don't. Especially not to a red deck that hijacked your spell. Whew.

[@charlesmaillho367]

@@trveheimer6360 If you can find tournaments where he won then I'll gladly change stance. And looking over this decklist, it just doesn't seem like it can keep up nor can it interact much. It's creature based and unless he is somehow slamming down 3 creatures a turn, this Jetmir deck will always be behind even with stax pieces out. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how Jetmir can compete effectively and consistently to make him the commander in a cEDH deck.

[@trveheimer6360]

@@charlesmaillho367 i didnt look at this specific decklist and i was wrong, it didnt win but take the semifinals of Ka0s 3. ComedIanMTG made a video about it. i personally didnt play this but tymna kamaahl beats and its proficient if you mulligan for early stax pieces, my playgroup which is 100% cedh regularly got shot off and i won some random spelltable games too. jetmir is better insofar that the beats start to roll out quicker. for as long as white and green is color identity, it can even compete with green free interation, and ranger captains and silences. its aeons and aeons better suited for cedh than tegrid.

[@trveheimer6360]

i really dislike the dynamics tergrid creates. people made so many snappy comments about krarkashima but i think a lot of the criticism on that deck apply here, at least in a competetive environment. the tokens are impossible to recognize via spelltable, the outcomes are just always random complicated and as we saw people forget regularly some stuff is even there, its also just banking on getting random value due to being monoblack and (afaik) not having an enginge and wincon like k'rrik. im cool with playing fringe decks but this is testing me
