Commander VS S8E2: Atogatog vs Rashmi vs Sigarda vs Kozilek

When these decks saw action on Commander VS, their pilots made a quick and unceremonious last-place exit. For one player, history will repeat...and for one, the last shall be first!

[@TrilainaBloodwind]

I sincerely hope that this series never ends. It's one of the few things I can look forward to every week! Keep up the awesome work!

[@johnveit2139]

It's still going

[@JParnell1]

Hey everyone who's watching Commander VS - you should check out my new podcast called Think Twice! It's a weekly show about Magic, gaming, and pop culture. Episode 2 is here with new episodes dropping every Friday! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5WUmJ96obplfMU

[@MestHoop]

#NeverAgain Am I doing it right?

[@Small_Panda]

I'll be honest I never requested chairs again, but upon seeing atogatog was like wait I don't remember atogatog. Though upon hearing chairs immediately broke the KZbin like button and am disappointed you can't like more than once so I made a second account to like it twice. Lastly Think Twice is probably the most appealing card the whole card is a master piece.

[@aaronhamonds6609]

Justin Parnell sorry you got stuck playing tribal chairs. Although I would love to see atraxa horror tribal. That way you can play your horrors.

[@aaronhamonds6609]

#neversaynever

[@reeceumney]

Justin Parnell momir is a cast trigger not an enter the battlefield trigger

[@SCGCommander]

(Jeremy) This week we're going back to decks that we did so poorly with, we felt they needed a second chance.

[@treasureberry7154]

Star City Games last week Stephen Green (#verdechilesauceisthebestsauce) lost a point for eliminating all the players on the same turn.

[@Phoenix2215]

Chair Tribal is the best thing to ever come out of this channel. I am so glad to see it back.

[@bigblind6422]

Stephen coming through with purely hilarious yet subtle lines. Like 'what is this, redwall'.

[@Smagasins]

Jon only paid 6 for austere command while Augustine was still out allowing him to cast Eladamris Call for a card that he did not reveal despite the card making him reveal it.

[@paxman192]

Smagasins subtract a half a point

[@omgoblins]

He was tutoring from 37:25 to 38:09 as well, making it a 44 second tutor that should be -1 points /shrug

[@IceJ23]

jeez

[@brandongray9652]

This is awesome! Thank you guys for actually playing decks we suggest, it really makes me more invested. I look forward to this every Wednesday, hope you know how appreciated you are for all this work

[@SilverhawkPX45]

For what it's worth, Momir Vig triggers on casting a creature spell, so playing Fierce Empath would've put a creature on top of Jeremy's library which then would've been shuffled away by his enters the battlefield trigger.

[@leonardoboccaletti1790]

I was looking for this comment...

[@Lady2-D]

Depends on how you stack the triggers, if you stack Momir Vig's ability to resolve first then you side step this problem.

[@trevorpentico4206]

d3p43ss3d you can't stack the triggers how you want. They go on at different times. One on cast and the other when it enters

[@Lady2-D]

It's a cast trigger? I withdraw my previous comment.

[@bballlover9]

Stephen Green's tone when he says, *scoffs* "yea, you're ready alright"... hilarious

[@OM45678]

wp jeremy, hope YOU had fun playing that deck again too! :D it was great to watch!

[@treasureberry7154]

Chair breaks, everything dies -Jonathan Suarez 2017

[@legoking5499]

I love chair tribal! I want more decks with themes like that. Left handed or hats or something arbitrary like that. They are silly and fun.

[@adammcgregor9421]

Not even done withe the video. 10/10 ATFH reference. Would watch again. All the likes.

[@lostwallets3435]

I don't think John payed the extra 1 for his austere command 32:55

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

26:50 curse!! Lobster!! Action frank!

[@Immadeofchocolate]

Why isn't tribal chairs running the card: Conspiracy. Theres a bunch of people in the art in a chair, and it actually has synergy with atogatog.

[@123abcjackso]

Because steven didnt put it in the first time he made it?

[@egarran]

Perfect timing. Currently removing the Grozoth combo package from my 5c deck to make place for a pantheon.

[@lucazadelemon]

So happy that the Chair deck made its comeback! Never stop the trolling of Justin Parnell Steven! Hilarious!

[@kingfuzzy2]

Chair tribal and kozilek have have returned I can't see this getting any better ( :

[@Macro11Underscore1]

anyone else find that justin was way louder than the rest of them? (or the others were too quiet?) not for lack of talking, just some one turned their audio down?

[@hnjahnjah]

4:37 PURE COMEDY GOLD! Why don't you take a seat? Right over there? xD Also,can we have a 4 way MILL please? :P

[@Bcdeano]

Woa! Stephen reads Redwall?!?! Books are awesome! Great video as always guys!

[@braydenmartinsen6247]

"She's never shat on any chair."-Justin (Stephen tries so hard to contain himself he squeaks out laughter) 46:35

[@PlutoDarknight]

I wanna see Chair Tribal again! (again!) Do it, Justin!

[@sarahdale9968]

I am a somewhat new MtG player/definitely new watcher. I am 10 minutes in the video and I enjoy watching so far. Keep the goodness going you all!

[@MaxtonYJ]

This was delightful, even though it was basically a three player game since Justin basically just sat down for the entire video. And Jeremy? Don't worry about it. Yeah I saw a lot of the missed triggers but honestly that's the authentic commander experience. You're a joy to have on the show and you round out the rest of the people well by being the only sane one.(No Suarez, you don't count as sane and I love you for that too).

[@Conman31]

Tireless tracker + chair = tired tracker

[@darbasti1443]

Momir is a cast trigger, just like karametra and all the eldrazi that were running around. So it resolves before etb triggers (coiling orcale/fierce empath).

[@Klugen]

Man Steven, that Emrakul'ed turn of Jeremy's could've been so savage! Instead it was a gentle purr.

[@francescogulisano2917]

I think Jeremy was right in paying the commander tax, since it is something like a kicker, where you pay it in addition to the spell's mana cost

[@tuddious2442]

It was an illegal action to cast it. The commander tax does not affect the CMC of a commander. His commander for be a 4 CMC card that costs two extra because of the tax.

[@francescogulisano2917]

It wasn't ilegal as As Foretold allows to cast spells with cmc equal to or less than the number of counters on it

[@tuddious2442]

Francesco Gulisano I thought As Foretold was worse and said exactly how many counters.

[@francescogulisano2917]

There are cards like that, so it's understandable

[@francescogulisano2917]

Yeah, I rembered that example, thanks for confirming it

[@slick_rickgaming1102]

I had to go back just to see what Justin was talking about when he first played chairs...so glad I did

[@Seldonlair]

I love the parts where the all start saying "Spiiiiiiiiittttttte."

[@MyrGalvin]

This one is for Jeremy. Tribal Spirits using Kerador, Ghost Chieftan. Built around the Soulshift mechanic from Kamigawa.

[@iPhantomHG]

Before I keep watching, kudos to the editor who put in the goose on a pillow with a hat on ;)

[@alexcarson7901]

"That's good with panharmonicon" is basically the motto of 80% of my decks at this point honestly.

[@cameron185]

The audio seemed messed up on this one just really faint and not crisp

[@EXOUSTIA]

Ripe Busta Stephen was way too loud compared to everyone else, it was very annoying.

[@AsSaSsIn200706050403]

2 things: 1)Justin, you are a legend never forget that #teamParnell and 2) Jeremy is that a you sunk my battlestar shirt? that is awesome

[@ethanwiggen3567]

*whispers suductivly*spiiiittee

[@Ovadarko]

Oh man, Sigarda human tribal was my first EDH deck ever. I still love it, hope it works well for Jon.

[@jrk41599]

One of the funniest games I've seen in a while. Chairs for days! XD Wish Jeremy finished John instead of Steven though lol.

[@jdotwilliam]

Stephen always picks my favorite commanders. You know he’s coming with that Stomp

[@MarsIsDead86]

Justin built a barricade of chairs... A Chairicade if you will...

[@rkbmcb]

I just keep hearing Palpatine saying, "Do it."

[@Binga81]

I laughed every time Justin flicked the soldier tokens off the board

[@keithfilibeck2390]

ole Jeremy, utterly and completely overwhelmed by his deck when a whole 3 triggers goes off. looks like a man trying to figure out quantum theory in highschool.

[@JohnnyDeLeo1]

Yes!! Chair tribal!! That is one of my favorite jank deck!

[@breaze3242]

Jonathan De Leo "jank" is REALLY pushing it

[@nartin9]

Jonathan De Leo I think hat tribal is better

[@superwolf1515]

nartin9 2020 here there’s now stair tribal

[@pbmdh]

'I'm gunna cast The Spain Stage' -Stephen Green 13:11

[@daviddannenberg3439]

It would be cool to see an all titan game, Emrakul the promised end and some combination of the versions of Kozilek and Ulamog, Stephen on Ulamog, Ceaseless Hunger for the milling of course.

[@lostsoul9987]

I like the reference to Redwall

[@JParnell1]

Episode 3 of my new weekly show, Think Twice, is now live! KZbin and Soundcloud links below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXrSiWSwaMpkiNk soundcloud.com/think-twice-120683625/episode-3

[@superwolf1515]

Justin Parnell how was the chairs

[@Zentenski]

I'd love to see someone play a deck based around the card Lich and other "not lose the game" cards like platinum angel and phyrexian unlife. Not sure how that deck would look, I just love those kinds of cards~

[@JennySharp-atai]

Love this series, and this was super fun to watch. Go Jeremy :D #teamnoell

[@nikkis.2066]

I'd love to see a Commander VS where everyone builds their own deck...but then it's randomly given to someone else, would make for some blind/chaotic fun :D

[@zotha]

Mirage Mirror is very good, but it doesn't trigger ETB effects when you change it (like Decimator) because the permanent is already there.

[@raimundkeller6115]

i couldnt chair less about justins deck. Not even if he played it for chairity

[@JParnell1]

You better remember this comment, Raimund Keller.

[@superwolf1515]

Justin Parnell the deck is chairy funny though

[@CorruptedSol]

You got a like for the Redwall reference Stephen.

[@WealthyBig34]

Man that deck went off after Myr Battlesphere hit the board. Stephen I have a deck that I think you should play for the Finale. Its a Kynaios and Tiro Meletis deck which is kinda pillowfort with some beaters and some x spells to win. Lmk if you would be interested. Also Mirage Mirror is extremely good in commander.

[@santaclauseking]

I love that they love Aqua Teen Hunger Force, bring on the references!

[@connorlange594]

Thanks for playing Atogatog. Now all you need to do is Phelddagrif.

[@QuitLifeTV]

Stephen was obviously singing a slightly modified version of AC/DC's classic song Moneytalks. #TeamGreen

[@VincentTurregano]

"Some are more comfortable than others .." omfg yes! lol

[@WheelDragon]

I just thought that it was a cool interaction: Stephen can make mirage mirror a copy of curse of vengeance, and since it's an aura not attached to anything, it would die.

[@marcvanheerden9067]

Enjoyed this episode so much, bad luck John

[@mrossop]

I would love to see a deck that revolved around getting as many points as possible

[@nikkis.2066]

How shameful that Labyrinth reference went unnoticed/loved D: !!!! Minus 3 points to all!

[@brentvandestaey6436]

Momir Vig and Rashmi both have cast triggers, so you can't resolve the ETB triggers first if I'm correct

[@jstrobel3620]

I'm sad Jeremy missed the Rashmi triggers on other people's turns! (Also, try out Rashmi as a commander if you haven't! She's awesome)

[@hallt13]

Jeremy you should have flashed in elder deep fiend to tap down Stephen's blockers and allow Jonathan to attack through for lethal. Then you wouldn't have to worry about your turn being controlled.

[@jonathanstocker2263]

Good to see the Green Blue deck actually get to do what it wants.

[@xF3arl]

I would actually love to see more non-playable Planeswalker EDH. Seems real neat to me.

[@PunKxBlacK]

Love the Community reference.

[@junglingmitapfel2902]

When do you finally play Wort, the Raidmother? A perfect deck for Jon :)

[@aaronatkinson7018]

Hey guys, You should randomly choose tribes and build tribal decks. I believe you have tribal before, but I do not think they were randomly selected. Just a thought! Thanks for the great video!

[@orohyuno]

Why are the cards preview showing so fast? They used to wait the next card be played. If it is going to use all that screen space, there's no reason to make people stare at a card-back..

[@tylerjohnobrien7744]

It's so funny, because whenever I see the commanders I know which is Jeremy's. Not because it's the one with the red background, but because he always plays what I would play lol!

[@Julien8117]

i really appreciate what you guys do keep it up !!!! justin how was it playing (stax) of chairs. You guys are awsome love the show.

[@crayyonnyadrav4055]

For the Season finale: I wanna see a Patron of the moon deck.

[@danielhavranek5122]

You hugely missed that [Momir Vig] triggers on "when you play" and [Coiling Oracle] triggers on "enters the battlefield". Meaning that you have to trigger [Momir Vig] first then [coiling oracle]. Jeremy first triggered [Coiling Oracle] which was incorrect and he shouldnt get those two lands into play.

[@RETURNTOMONKAE]

Justin You need to get one of those that was easy buttons and have it set to the CURSE! so then you can just push the button and it does it for you.

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

Creepy!! At 1:11:20 I turned on a table lamp next to me, then Justin said "So Bright." For a very brief moment, I thought he was talking to me.

[@nightcraze69]

I love the red wall reference

[@TheG1rnpy]

Jeremy could have prevented the emurkul trigger by using the mirror and becoming a copy of Sigarda.

[@QuarrySea]

Brian Schmitt and Stephen should have used the mirror to copy both of Jeremy's legendary creatures and kill the original ones to the legend rule.

[@coreysierchio4650]

"Legend Rule only applies if they are controlled by the same person."

[@QuarrySea]

Jeremy controls both the mirror and the legendary creatures (Momir and Rashmi), so yes, the legend rule applies.

[@coreysierchio4650]

"I misunderstood your comment as Jeremy being able to kill Sigarda. Now, I get it. Sorry for doubting you Corey."

[@YaoBao1]

Spoiler warning below Yay #TeamSimic ! :D Was an interesting episode today, certainly enjoyed it!

[@McNuggetBomb]

Emrakul has sat in a chair during the Uncharted Realms story where she invades Jace's mind and plays chess against him.

[@greatbrandini3967]

How has no one commented on the amazing flavor win of Stephen's Emrakul being unable to control Jonathan because of Sigarda? She was the only one of the 3 angel sisters who didn't become corrupted (Bruna, The Fading Light and Gisela, The Broken Blade)

[@samyakjain777]

Where can we submit requests for commanders to play? I'd like to see Sakiko, Mother of Summer as a commander. I've seen a budget Sakiko deck be explosive, creating a bunch of massive creatures in single turns.

[@rossmitchell5453]

My only commander deck is a Rashmi deck and I love her as a commander, glad to see Jeremy win with her

[@CalderaWolf]

5:25 EMRAKUL HAS SAT IN A CHAIR, in the lore, Emrakul plays a game of chess against Jace, in his mind, and she appears using the angelic form that the people of zendikar gave her... but, this still counts as Emrakul sitting in a chair

[@mattisuber222]

A barricade of chairs... A chairricade?

[@david_broz]

Hey Justin, can you please play that awesome chair deck again?

[@alancrisp1908]

Pretty sure Jeremy could have made mirage mirror into sigarda when emerakul was being cast, making him untargetable and making it so that Justin was the only legal target for the erakul, but that's in the past

[@ToniMayol]

Damn that camera, it fooled me again.

[@haydenjenken1213]

I liked as soon as I heard chair tribal!!!!

[@nyx1083]

Id love to see them all play Jon's Norin deck

[@TheKidsDaaaaad]

The Spain Stage ---- HAHAHAHAHAH!

[@Silver_light77]

stupid tribals is one of my favorite things in magic, and chair tribal is amazing

[@Blaze482Gaming]

you guys need to get it to where if you look up magic mirror on the card searcher, this video pops up

[@anthonygilmore5424]

Have y'all thought of doing Pauper Commander on here?

[@lwinger6927]

How would one go about submitting a fan favorite deck? I love watching you guys play this format, it would be interesting to see if someone would be interested in grabbing the reins on one of my decks (sorry if this was asked earlier in the comments btw)

[@Honestcosby]

there was a misplay on the fierce empath t 1:06:40 because momir vig triggers on cast and empath triggers on resolution effectively shuffling away what momir tutored for
