Great game. Each deck got to pop off in their own way!

[@latinojackson9694]

Fun fact: with multiple cascade triggers each cascaded spell resolves completely before moving on to the next cascade

[@CorZ1lla]

Often don't see this played right especially with Apex Devastator

[@nigelng325]

When cascading, you may also choose not to cast the spell, putting it to the bottom of your library

[@MattWilliams747]

This was great info, thank you!

[@AdesVomSilberfeuer]

The communist untap step with the Soviet hymn sent me. Well played. The sudden pop off of the slivers was insane.

[@toxik_yeet4229]

That "our untap" had me spit out my beer. Well worth liking the video just for that lmao

[@SmoothBrainEDH]

Thank you comrade

[@marshall4439]

Basal Sliver's synergy with Gravemother eluded me when I initially looked over the deck. I'd imagine Gravemother + Basal sliver will almost always result in a game winning situation, although clearly Kindred Discovery really fed into it. Huge!

Anikthea deck list link is a copy of leori link

What they said

[@SmoothBrainEDH]

Fixed!

[@JimboBango]

The sheer amount of threats and removal is crazy! Great game!

[@swrodgon]

Pretty fun game, all decks “did their thing” and was pretty entertaining. In the end though slivers got enough to overwhelm as they are wont to do.

[@emarmy00]

WHAT a Game!! Very NIIIIICE!!!

Nice to see Slivers take the w. I purchased Anikthea and am over the moon on how it performs!

[@keenenp1997]

Gear 5th about to go cwazy 😂

[@myhairismessy3363]

4:05 Calamity of the Titans would be put at the bottom of the deck with the other cards revealed through cascade as it wasn’t cast. 702.85a. Cascade is a triggered ability that functions only while the spell with cascade is on the stack. "Cascade" means "When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card whose mana value is less than this spell's mana value. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost if the resulting spell's mana value is less than this spell's mana value. Then put all cards exiled this way that weren't cast on the bottom of your library in a random order."

Where did Ethan get his one ring proxy or alter?

[@Zip_yermouth]

@11:18 is nobody going to talk about the tiny hand?!

[@eschron8448]

Slivers!!!

[@Daisroll]

Sorry for the dumb question but does the regal sliver give +9 ? 😢

[@SmoothBrainEDH]

+8/+8 because the first trigger makes you the monarch. It only gives +1/+1 if you're already the monarch

[@guttybands6553]

Always picking on the planeswalkers guy 😢

As it should be😂

[@cmh1197]

I got to do my thing so I was happy about it. Accidentally including an infinite combo kinda nutty. Didn’t realize how good the MoTM Chandra is

[@mariusburger5934]

Is it just me but haven't seen a game where Zhulodok won

[@chall3ng33v3rything]

Big swingy effect on a lot of mana, meaning it looks like it should be a lightning rod for removal. One spell a turn likely if you want to cascade. You deck is filled with mana rocks and enablers meaning you’re not always going to hit good things off your cascades. You’re not comboing off but trying to outvalue an opponent by casting one spell a turn. It’s probably just not all that great of a gameplan and one that has the added downsides of a commander that makes people want to blow it up and have to run some awful spells as well.

[@mariusburger5934]

@chall3ng33v3rything very true and on a table something big draws more attention than something wide and many.

[@david_s_malf]

Why are you saying "typal"? Just say tribal like everyone else. The word "tribe" isn't offensive.

[@mathmagician5990]

I was about to comment the same thing.... And my name is Ryan lmao

[@SmoothBrainEDH]

Typal is the new standard so we're going to use it. Just like how we actively try to use mana value instead of converted mana cost

[@willofkhonshu7287]

you said typal so you can kick rocks unsub

[@SmoothBrainEDH]

K. You will not be missed
