*Joe had 35 life at the start because we had to power down his deck because he's such a beast. It totally had nothing to do with an editing error on my part. Definitely not.*

[@severalgaming9775]

Hey try Nikya of the old way she’s actually a good commander budget or putting money into it

[@ryantoole3755]

Noticed tommy went from 41 to 43 after one creature was played in the beginning. Not that it mattered obviously

[@JpDubbed]

Hey man I see this was filmed in NJ. I'm in NY. I'd love to play a game with you guys one day. When do you typically go there?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I play at Family Fun Hobbies and Platinum Star Games. If you want, you can message me on Facebook and we can set up a time for you to come out?

[@JpDubbed]

@@MTGMuddstah Absolutely man 👌

[@TheHuntersKnife]

At like 8:25, Joe skull clamps Rhys, and draws, but that wouldnt happen since his commander didnt technically die so the clamp wouldnt trigger. Doesnt make much of a difference in the game, but good to know.

[@Optimator7]

It's true! Very important

[@toastman3421]

Came to say the same thing lol

[@ImNeverOriginal]

Its one of those things that people always forget it about. It's hard to explain when people don't know all the ends and outs of the game. Even I forget that your commander doesn't "die" sometimes.

[@twistedpear18]

Retribution is at hand. ~Me, The future

[@julianb.f4007]

At about 6:20 nick plays puresteel palidin, but then paid the equip cost for sword of fiest even tho he had 2 equipments and a sol ring so he didnt have to Also if u clamp ur commander and dont send it to the bin then it doesnt "die" so u dont draw 2

[@julianb.f4007]

@HANZO4LYFE It doesn't because you may put it into the command zone INSTEAD of the graveyard, trust me on this one👌👌👌

[@Linkeh24]

​@HANZO4LYFE It's a replacement effect. Instead of your general going into the graveyard, you can instead send it to the command zone. And if you do send your commander to the command zone, your commander never died, so you don't get to draw.

[@zacharymccutcheon8607]

Puresteel gives you the option to equip for 0, but you can use the normal equip ability as well. So not a misplay (technically) the clamp was definitely a misplay.

[@plain6677]

Lessons: - Commanders going to the Command Zone don’t trigger death’s abilities. - Knowing when to board wipe is key. - Never keep a one lander even with sol ring. - When 10+ tokens are in play, it’s more than time to react. - Bitterblossom or Skullclamp: one of them should be answered right away. - Soul warden is a good card and lifegain is NOT overrated most of the time. - Craterhoof is a legitimate winco and we shouldn’t be mad about it. - Voltron is a hard strategy to achieve. - Never accept Tempting offers. Or go get strip mine.

[@geekmp3]

my goodness I love seeing a Hazezon deck do what it does. I love mine and he's crazy flavor.

[@BadCookies1234]

You know what, MTGMuddstah? I really hate you for making me look forward to Mondays. I'm addicted to that damn generic goblin noise.

[@Jay15199]

Just gonna raise my glass to a brother Teysa player. I see you too are a man of taste and culture.

[@joshrawlins9085]

6:10 I mean... he had a sol ring. So metal craft was already active. Wondered why he didn't equip.

[@MrEliakimRAS]

That is what happens when you put mana rocks and lands together.

[@ivernedit4132]

Made my day dad

[@nzrbroadcasting1421]

With my zurgo deck i once had a turn 1 plains into sol ring into rakdos signet then turn 2 swamp, zurgo swing followed by a turn 3 mountain into jokulhaups. Scoop win.

[@TheRushmore12]

Nick had metalcraft as soon as he played the sword of feast and famine. He had sword of the animist and sol ring.

[@TheBlackdragon936]

3 things in life are guaranteed death, taxes and a new video from Mudsta every Monday and Thursday.

[@pauldyson8098]

I've always found soul warden and friends to be underpowered in edh but that lady put in work this game!

[@jeffreylong1478]

She always puts in work for me. One of the best 1 drops in the game imo

[@adams333]

Always nice to see Hazezon going, not many players use this general.

[@ElijahWouldoO]

Ya'll forgot about the split second on Krosan Grip. Wouldn't have changed the outcome, but I still wanna nitpick ;) Was a nice game

[@skillit23beastable]

Love that turn one sol ring. Even better that nick had metalcraft.

[@BaneAlleyMagic]

Joe should not have been able to draw from Clamping his commander. Commanders don't die if they are sent to the command zone instead.

[@daem0nfaust]

Well, that was a badass game.

[@destructoboom]

Also, when Tempt with Discovery resolves, its controller searches for a land, puts it out, then the other players can decide if they want to get one or not...

[@destructoboom]

4:58

[@giraffetownfan8810]

I was saying dang there hasn’t been a new video from muddstah in a while and then this appeared

[@forerealz]

Why didn't they just attack out at Hazezon after he killed Zurgo he was wide-open. He would have been near death and the faeries would have handled it before he got to Craterhoof. Hindsight I suppose, but he was low on HP from Zurgo beating on him. Too much skullclamping, not enough attacking.

[@stevenmermelstein7806]

Nice games .

[@kobensutherland6652]

Well, that was.... incredible! I am glad my friends zurgo isn’t as powerful as this if it was I would stand little chance

[@RedLexLuthur]

Ah the old "clamp my commander and draw 2" misplay, never gets old.

[@ItsAStarfish]

I've never seen a hazezon deck before today but woah boy that sure is a pile of cards that does things

[@addambarcelos]

That moment when The swarm deck destroys someone with almost Double of The starting Life xD

[@kasualh]

As a guy who plays Rhys, I love seeing it being played - but you gotta get those correct tokens haha

[@ssamgyetang]

6:05 Nick untaps his sol ring aswell, not only his lands.

[@freya002YT]

He realizes that and re taps it.

[@alessandrogaviani2452]

Monday and Thursday are becoming my favourite days

[@darylchiu9030]

So you also noticed the pattern? :)

[@rorylastname7635]

Swarm decks is why I keep a Massacre Wurm handy in my Black based decks.

[@Jaesnek]

At 7:24 Zach couldn't have kicked that bushwhacker since he only had 1 red mana open. I'm a little sad no one caught that.

[@justinhouse2665]

You're right. Looks like a rugged prairie expo filter land that is used wrong. I think he could have tapped his mana differently to still make all those plays. Still extremely annoying when people make those kid of mistakes

[@sephyrias883]

Uff, such powerful opening hands for everyone except Rhys. I highly doubt the Rhys deck can make a comeback from that immense starting disadvantage. After watching: Well, he did draw into a Skullclamp, but even that didn't save him anymore. 3:22 I don't think Sword of the Animist was a good search. He had Gift of Estates + Burnished Heart, which was enough lands for the rest of the game. Some removal, threat or one of his other equips would've been much better. After watching: He didn't get punished too hard for the bad search, since he drew the equips anyway. However he still got taken out first.

[@IntegratorNivramgrate]

Anyone else noticing Tommy's die representing his life different from the life count for most of the video?

[@Devin-oh7gr]

marvin tan editing continuity

[@voldemort008]

I think he missed several Soul Warden triggers.

[@DanMarik]

Hey man I love your videos! I only have a simple suggestion, perhaps instead of using player names use the commander name. The reason for this is because during a response it takes a bit to understand who is doing what. If you said “Rhys plays a slate of ancestry” its actually easier to follow than “joe plays a slate of ancestry”

[@voldemort008]

I actually like this idea.

[@motorologist]

6:15 he already had 3 artifacts. The equipments and Sol Ring

[@MiguelFernandez-ju4dp]

Nick didnt need argentum armor for the metalcraft, sol ring + sword of the animist + sword of feast and famine is metacraft

[@rioscardot]

Going with Teysa

[@crimsonwolf3487]

Did i miss something? Why couldn't teysa exile hazezon to get rid of the tokens? I did miss something right?

[@hafusan]

TIL: Tokens indeed do go to the graveyard and cease to exist there. Whow, my brief mtg life has been a lie!

[@cloaking764]

Yeah, officially they fade from existance as soon as priority is passed while they are in a zone other than the field.

[@andreusemanuel4868]

Skullclamp would be much more worse If tokens doesn't really dies :p

[@hafusan]

@@andreusemanuel4868 I knew they die, of course they do. But tokens never are in the graveyard as one never put their token into the graveyard. But technically, as I've just learned, they do *go to* the graveyard but once in there, they stop existing. So they never are in a graveyard, but they go there. Mtg is a magical thing.

[@johnsauer8274]

at 6 minute mark nick goofed and untapped the sol ring for the sword of feast and famine trigger

[@MTGMuddstah]

He realizes it shortly after doing so. You can see it tapped a few seconds afterwards.

[@johnsauer8274]

@@MTGMuddstah now i see. at first it looked like that nick used the sol ring to cast the argentum armor

[@Krajcik1964]

Before watching the video, i'm torn. I have both Teysa and Hazezon built in paper and love both of those decks.

[@destructoboom]

At 1:56, Tommy should only gain 1 life... Not 2... Judge!

[@bigdon9999]

Opponent cast and resolves craterhoof with 15+ creatures in play. Just got to the next game lol

[@andreasorphanou5469]

*In confused zurgo voice* zurgo... Smashed?¿?

[@thecross7566]

I really want to build Hazezon but he is a little out of my price range lol

[@vanishingumbreon7615]

Did I just see someone use the stack after Krosan grip?

[@DarkEinherjar]

No, it resolved, and then Tommy got priority to do his stuff while the Behemoth was still on the stack.

[@MurasakiTama]

Split-second only prevents players from putting spells or abilities on the stack while the split-second card is on the stack. Once the Krosan Grip resolves, players are free to add things to the stack before the rest of the spells and abilities resolve.

[@vanishingumbreon7615]

I see, thanks for explaining that

[@r.a.w.780]

Craterhoof is so OP 😂

[@luisangelpacheco7559]

when Hazezon leaves the battlefield, Sand tokens leaves too, right???

[@xxmerkutioxx]

that's what I thought!

[@nahboi483]

*nick: is playing a voltron* *looks over at the other aggro player, knowing full well tokens directly counter voltron* “Imma hit him.”

[@matttullo5597]

Why did Joe start with 35 life

[@MTGMuddstah]

That was an editing mistake on my part. I've been swamped with contracts and with the GP NJ coming up! My bad =(

[@calebhalbrook1506]

Why didn't teysa exile hazezon at the end to clear away all the sand warriors

[@Abraktil]

craterhoof is op

[@nzrbroadcasting1421]

When you call rhys, rice, it makes me think of a redeemed bowl of goodness.

[@jacksonvanhyning8339]

Imagine how much easier narrating would have been if Tommy hadn't played that soul warden

[@rasmusandersen2835]

and out comes rice

[@DarkEinherjar]

So, lessons of the day: 1. DON'T SEARCH WHEN THE OPPONENT CASTS TEMPT WITH DISCOVERY; 2. Lifegain is overrated; 3. Seriously, put more board wipes in your decks, people. And leave open mana for them if they're instant.

[@rorylastname7635]

Zurgo died with a Route in hand...

[@mutedknght]

Unless you grab strip mine so you can kill the best land*

[@Suzuki246]

3. What about for mono green players? =/

[@DarkEinherjar]

You're still making that player thin lands out of the deck. Unless the first land the opponent shows is dangerous, better leave the other lands in his/her deck.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Because he misplayed badly.

[@hodlsage8968]

Someone needs to let Joe barrow some creature tokens. Nothing like a token deck with a bunch of upside down sleeves... Rhys deserves flavor Joe!

[@safertobeanonymous2224]

Turn 6. Sol ring is an artifact so he could have equipped it all before combat for free anyway. 🤷‍♂️

[@RunninOnYT]

Man, sucks that i sold my Hazezon, he's worth so much more now haha. Edit: and yeah, people feared it. Really strong, different and fun commander.

[@johannesk9074]

Thats an interesting battle😲i'm really excited Edit: it was really nice, and it was an unexpected ending☺👍

[@Noah-tg3vf]

Wtf are you talking about? Craterhoof us literally the most common, boring finisher to a token deck

[@johannesk9074]

@@Noah-tg3vf I know, but I thought Tommy would win that game. I don't see always a Craterhoof coming... sry😕

[@josephtucker8456]

Did... he never activate Rhys? He should've stopped clamping his tokens in order to double them once or twice and -then- clamp them...

[@KromeDrone]

These decks need more board wipes.

[@mrdoriangrey349]

nick should not played that armor,insted keep all lands untapped for playing rout inst speed

[@thepaperbullet6226]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! ZURGOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DarkEinherjar]

And this is why I don't bother with lifegain in EDH... even when you go double your starting life total, or even "infinite", you're not safe. I had two games in which I made my life arbitrarily huge, but still almost lost.

[@pietromasneri2872]

yes but take note that all that life came from a single card, 1 mana gain 40 life seems pretty good to me, on top of that, orzhov has a lot of synergies with lifegain; depends on the deck tho

[@DarkEinherjar]

That's what happens when people forget to put board wipes in their decks or put too few of them and thus never draw into them when they need to. Which, by the way, is a recurring theme in many games in this channel: no one board wipes and eventually one of the boards goes out of control.

[@pietromasneri2872]

@@DarkEinherjar a board wipe to resolve a soul warden?

[@DarkEinherjar]

A Soul Warden that happens to be making Bitterblossom even better than it should be... a SEVEN-POWER COMMANDER WITH EQUIPMENT (Zurgo is only indestructible during his controller's turn)... token-making creatures... Yeah, there was more than enough on the board to justify a wipe, especially for Nick, who can even take advantage of the fact that, during his own turn, Zurgo can't be destroyed.

[@pietromasneri2872]

@@DarkEinherjar Nick had a boardwipe in his hand (since the beginning) at 6:00 was the last turn he was alive, at that time Zach and Joe had basically nothing on the board, the only one who had something was tommy (soul warden and 4 token). I don' t think that justify a boardwipe, considering Nick also had a puresteel paladin on the board, and an argentum armor in hand.

[@darylchiu9030]

Generic 1st Comments Fellow Gobbos :v

[@DarkEinherjar]

So much saltiness about Craterhoof Behemoth... yeah, how DARE those token players play a card that makes their tokens huge after assembling a massive army because no one could get rid of all those 1/1s for TWO FULL ROTATIONS? Also, let's face it: it's only "boring" when you're on the receiving end of those attackers. ;)

[@midnightmonty]

As a fellow rhys player, I'm disappointed in the rhys player

[@evafox9696]

Generic goblin noises? More like generic Craterhoof noises. I put Craterhoof/Tokens wincon up there on the boring scale as I would put the Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood wincon. What a boring ending to a potentially great game.

[@Cole444Train]

So why would nick not sac the brandished hart on turn 3 so he could hit his land drop??? Seems like a terrible play

[@ArmadilloAl]

Hart puts the lands directly into play, so "land drops" don't matter, and it can be used at instant speed, so there's no point in doing it on your own turn. He still used his turn 3 on activating the Hart; he just waited until his last opponent's turn.

[@decakebaker]

It's prenounced Reece it's a Welsh name. Lol at rice the redeemed.. He has humble beginnings. Started out as a grain...

[@mauricebark5134]

Once again, nobody plays any wrath or board wipes. My sliver deck would have a really good time on your table, man !

[@Noah-tg3vf]

I'm a little disappointed, Teysa is one of my favorite commanders and it's a little upsetting not seeing her go off. I'll be honest and say I am pretty salty over the finisher being craterhoof, I personally think it's a really boring way to win but that's just my opinion.

[@Devin-oh7gr]

Teysa darkest hour combo isnt exactly thrilling

[@oom-3262]

Oh what a boring win. I wanted to see a grindy game :(
