Also, for commander damage with Teferi's Protection, the 'life can't change' doesn't matter as you've said, but the protection does.

Honestly the greatest episode of commander ever filmed

[@panfrycreature]

At 1:29:40 it's stated that combat damage from a commander when prevented still counts towards the 21 required to lose the game. That is incorrect. Combat damage that would become commander damage can in fact be prevented or reduced by effects that prevent combat damage. Also, great vid, can't wait for more commander content. Would love to see more of people's personal decks. EDIT: They got to it later in the game, I rescind my correction.

[@williamkrause9968]

Is there anywhere where this is officially explained. My play group is in shambles right now, trying to find the answer.

[@HakureiIllusion]

@@williamkrause9968 Preventing damage works similarly to a replacement effect. Replaced events do not happen. For example, something like Lava Coil with a clause that says "if that creature would die this turn, exile it instead" skips on-death triggers because the act of it going to the graveyard is replaced with it being exiled. Ergo, in the case of Commander damage, if the combat damage is prevented, then no Commander damage was dealt. Life-total-freezing effects like Platinum Emperion, however, do not prevent the damage, but instead stop a player's life total from changing. The damage is still dealt, so you still count up to 21 Commander damage even if the player stays at 40 forever. Teferi's Protection tends to trip people up because it employs BOTH of these. People see the "your life total can't change" effect and think that means they still count commander damage, forgetting that the "protection from everything" effect will prevent that damage in the first place.

Had I played this, I'm sure I'd have been shocked more than Ash Ketchum in the entire Pokémon anime, but... At approximately 52:42, Charlie plays Sandstone Bridge. He says (and gives) the creature a +1/+1 counter and vigilance until end of turn. However, the card is not giving a counter, but just a temporary +1/+1 modifier until end of turn.

[@RokushikiMastery]

And then he takes the dice representing the counter that's not a counter off the creature on someone else's turn. Maybe he realized it wasn't a counter but that was after his turn was over.

[@sjday_]

Normally I hate these kind of comments but this seems very in the spirit of this game: at 1:07:17 there was a misplay/error! Matt tapped his lands to cast the spells exiled with Narset, when Narset says he may cast those spells without paying their mana cost. Technically because it is a may ability, its not an illegal action, but its certainly something that was missed as he could've played the other cards exiled with Narset as well.

[@sjday_]

Also! at 1:18:03, Charlie drew two cards on that turn and should have exiled the top card of his library to the Ian Malcom trigger :)

[@argossoares8613]

You may cast the card for no cost but you can't cast the card for it's normal cost, so if they asked Matt and he said he tapped the lands to cast the sword (which he clearly was doing) then it would be an illegal game action and thus, he should be shocked

1:29:37 this is not true! Prevented damage does not count towards commander damage. You're thinking of platinum emperion effects, which say "your life total cannot change". This is different from damage being prevented; the damage still happens but the life total remains the same. I think our judge deserves a shock for that one.

I believe the edge case he was referring to with teferis protection is something like the opponent has questing beast on play. In that case you could still lose to commander DMG even with the protection

​​@@crazydeadperson I don't think that's what he meant, he brought it up after ajani ulted as a way of saying "you guys can still win". Anyways that interaction is the same as with platinum emperion, just a little more complicated.

I would strongly recommend watching the entire video.

@@doyouknowkeplertwentytwob4032 Oh does he correct it later? I haven't finished the video

I gotta say... This is the funniest episode in the whole channel. The premise is funny, the natural interactions, silly puns, and how silly the Ian Malcolm deck was... 😂😂😂 I actually watched the whole game and its the only MTG match I have watched from beginning to end, in my whole life, and I feel that I learned a lot about the game.
