THE NITPICKING NERDS vs PLAY TO WIN GAME 2 - THE GITROG MONSTER vs SIDSI vs IKRA|KRAUM vs KARADOR

[@Its-Lulu]

When Joe said they didn't know what they were doing, I felt that 😂

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

We all did lol

[@muffin8r]

Beezy's banter is honestly so funny in this episode, you guys have good chemistry together, awesome game! :D

[@chasm9557]

I think it's because they all have the right mindset for playing the game and they must also have had a good rule 0 conversation so that they're all on the same page for the expectations of how the game was going to be played.

[@procyonbytes1523]

The smoke coming from Dylan's side as Beezy goes for the Hulk is definitely a highlight. 11:54

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

😈

[@dsnavely13]

Something worth noting: at 16:10, Beezy shouldn't have known the target of the Grist ability when deciding whether or not to do the Viscera Seer + Activated Sleeper stuff, since all that is done in the Grist ability is optionally sacrificing a creature. If he did those abilities in response to the sac, Cam would have had the option to either choose not to sac a creature, or choose a different creature to sacrifice, and if Beezy had done the abilities with the reflexive trigger from Grist on the stack, Cam would have had the ability to activate his artifacts, since there's another round of priority before another Ouphe hits the table. EDIT: reflexive, not delayed

[@keepingitcasualmtg]

Was it not that Beezy was responding to the target of the reflexive trigger and Cam allowed the "Protean Hulk" trigger to resolve not knowing that Beezy would grab his own Collector Ouphe during resolution?

[@dsnavely13]

@@keepingitcasualmtg Given that Collector Ouphe didn't hit the graveyard until after the Viscera Seer activations, I don't think so. Additionally, after the seer activations finished, Cam also could sac the Ouphe to kill Beezy's Ouphe, funnily enough.

[@keepingitcasualmtg]

@David Snavely maybe I'm misunderstanding how reflexive triggers work. Once Cam sacs the Ouphe wouldn't that trigger the ability to target a creature to destroy? Or are the targets picked during the resolution of the Grist ability?

[@dsnavely13]

@@keepingitcasualmtg Grist's ability activates, players get priority, then the ability resolves and Cam chooses a creature to sacrifice, if any. Then the destroy trigger goes onto the stack, and targets are chosen then.

[@ary31415]

@@dsnavely13 Ouphe was sacrificed at 15:52. The Viscera Seer activations were in response to the reflexive trigger, which already had a target

16:46 "you thinking unhealthy thoughts 🤔?" Amongst other things you said had me laughing. Fun episode. Best channels for mtg content

[@SvviftDeath]

Great game and I loved seeing my boy Karador in action, my favorite commander. For when you don't have the Survival to be able to freely discard a creature I play Body Snatcher in my Karador deck. I have used it many times to get the Protean Hulk out of my hand or in your case you could use it to Discard the Blood Artist, then Sac it to Reanimate the Hulk and then continue to search whatever else you needed to win the game. With your updated list it's less important now but it is worth Tooling with.

[@Zelphiez]

This was a REALLY good episode. Great showing from everyone and their decks.

[@_jordaank_4970]

That base drop when the ad naus resolved was super funny lol 😂 counter spell wars are the best!

[@leonardoherrera8908]

Wouldn't Beezy's Necropotence discards not get a void counter? Because instead of going into the graveyard it goes into exile instead. So since they never hit the graveyard in the first place, the Dauthi Voidwalker can't put a counter on it.

[@charohazard]

necro is a trigger that occurs when a card gets discarded to grave not a replacement so the card would be discarded, dauthi sees they being sent to the grave and they are exiled before they hit the grave so the necro trigger never even goes on the stack

[@gobenku1464]

This was a super fun episode to watch! I haven't seen a lot of the NPN, but it's cool to see you all play together and was a lot of fun.

[@acesblue123]

Awesome episode! Really enjoyed watching you guys play cedh with the Nitpicking Nerds!

[@SMiTCHexe]

so cool seeing a game that really had everyone slugging it out, without an early win

[@marlonlam6959]

Oh man… some misplays and rule mistakes this game. Looks like the game I was playing last night 😂😂😂. Jokes aside you guys make the best cedh content! And it’s cool to see the nerds here!

[@murrowmench1565]

Such a great game. I still have an Abzan cEDH deck that USED to be Karador but is now Tymna Kodama just for value. Karador is too slow for the format in my opinion, and the card draw/permanent value from Tymna Kodama respectively is much more supportive to getting a win off the ground early than late game Karador is. I love Karador. He was my commander of my graveyard combo deck for about seven years. But cEDH is a different beast, and the hardest change was made to my command zone. GGs guys! Hope to see more from this pod in future videos

[@paulandvy]

It was great meeting you guys at Okotoberfest! We chatted about IkraKraum Green grixis a bit, cool to see it pop up in a video again!

[@connorl0204]

Boi that game was a SLOG for beezy cam and dylan. I cant remember the last time yall posted a 25 minute, single game video!

We need more of this ! :)

[@jasonappel1253]

4:33 I think it’s your choice if they get voided or not since there are two replacement effects.

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Necros exile ability is a trigger

[@jerzysikorski4846]

Awesome game! I love the fact, that the player who casts mass removal get the win :)

[@brucanthwood]

Best commander channel on KZbin!

[@ShadowWasntHere8433]

Don't know if anyone caught it, but Necro discards don't go under Dauthi. @ replacement effects are happening, so the owner decides, and puts them to regular exile

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Nope. Necro is a triggered ability. Dauthi is a replacement effect

[@Lord-Pepsi]

4:17 Wouldn't Necropotence exile the discarded cards vs Dauthi?

[@Lord-Pepsi]

It works Dauthi gets the cards, checked gatherer. All good.

[@deadNdivine12]

Whoa! Beezy and Cherries were on your guy's channel? Nice I missed when two of my favourite channels got together for a video.

[@eduardoparanagua1031]

was there a window to activate cam's artifacts after he sacrificed his own Ouphe and before Beezy's protean hulk got him his?

[@TETTAhatHunger]

The rulings at Dauthi Voidwalker state "Playing a card with Dauthi Voidwalker's last ability is still subject to normal timing restrictions." So is the Aven Mindcensor at 5:20 illegal? I really don't know. But it sounds like you could play sorcery speed things with Voidwalker only on your turn. Complicated card :D

[@franslair2199]

Nice of Cam to livecast a 3-player cEDH game!

[@AuraXars]

aside from the theme, what is the reason to run karador over something lika tymna X for absan hulk lists, just the redundancy lategame?

@@savinobalducci6148 highly debatable

[@kishibelunatik]

They’re not

[@donglord880]

unsure what the decklist looked exactly like--but i think the hulk player (beezy) could have won if they fetched yawgmoth, thran physician with their copied hulk. yawg's "pay a life, sac a creature:draw a card" ability + their scry would have let them go grab 4 cards (mox diamond, land, chrome mox, random black card) with which they could have cast the blood artist from hand and won the game with the saffi+karmic loop. may have missed some of these going to the yard though. in any event, hulking for teeg to prevent a wipe like culling ritual would have been nice too. Grat gameplay!

[@hesnotbad9045]

Could beezy have discarded the blood artist to survival and reanimated it with dread return?

[@TheCrazyBraz]

Beezy is a gah dayum bling lord

[@agustinprosello4687]

Nitpicking Nerds are awesome guests

[@frankdetank9126]

That was fun a very reminiscent of a casual EDH game with powerful cards--"attack the one with card draw!" By the way, have you considered making a video on the best enchantress deck in cEDH?

[@psyonicpanda]

How does the Necropotence exile effect and Dauthi Voidwalker work?

[@fosterdawson7339]

So Necropotence is a triggered ability that happens when the discarded cards hit the graveyard. Dauthi voidwalker replaces them going to the graveyard with exiling them with void counters.

[@therealax6]

I posted a reply, but I got it completely wrong! My fault for not reading the Necropotence oracle text. Necropotence's effect is a triggered ability ("whenever you discard a card..."), but Dauthi Voidwalker's effect is a replacement effect ("...exile it instead"). Dauthi's replacement effect applies as the card is discarded, the card never hits the graveyard and Necropotence never triggers.

[@simondebesai5947]

why not just play altar of dementia in Beezy’s deck? the sack outlet doubles as the payoff

[@sagegarrett1723]

So happy to see cam in 1975 merch 😌

[@jakelarynx6347]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video

[@yscg-4277]

Surprised I haven’t seen too many Traezyn decks I think traezyn might be the best mono black cEDH deck because the combo is a little hard to interact with unless they’re playing graveyard hate specifically but even then he can dump even more combo pieces afterwards to keep going

[@esrohm6460]

did i miss something spooky in december is this some krampus stuff

[@carlosm1514]

Awesome episode!

[@zaq001]

Karador had a different line probably: Sac hulk get karmic get hulk Sac hulk get saffi get sleeper targeting hulk Sac saffi targetting sleeper Sac sleeper getting Reveillark Sac karmic and lark Get saffi and karmic getting lark Sac saffi targetting lark Sac lark and karmic Get saffi get karmic get Hulk Now you can get all creatures in your deck onto the field So if you're running something like dryad arbor and lotus cobra -> infinite mana -> cast blood artist

Oh, his list isn't running lark or a payoff for the line.

[@nCedric1]

Big fan of Dylan's hairstyles every episode

[@Danielsworlds]

Gitrog is a deck that I personally love but is nearly impossible to play in casual because it is so accidentally powerful. You're running cards that are just kind of good in the deck anyway minding your own goddamn business and then suddenly you oopsie into an infinite combo.

[@SamuelKacerik]

Maybe don't play combos then?

[@marlonlam6959]

Lmao. You def don’t oopsy into the win.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Gitrog is the kind of budget deck you can put 50 lands into and be fine, I tend to recommend it to beginners in EDH. I play Korvold and get a similar reaction, LOL, but I do have Gitrog in it as back up so that might have something to do with it also. I designed the deck around the concept that your going to eat all your lands like Galactus showed up to galaxy wide planet buffet, it's a fun riskay' way to play :P

[@jtvanilla1776]

Sick match. Love it

[@justusnation66]

5:20 I don't think Dylan can cast Aven from the Dauthi in response to the abrupt decay. Dauthi doesn't break timing rules

[@fosterdawson7339]

Dauthi doesn't break timing restrictions BUT aven mindcensor has flash so he's still able to cast it

[@theroxenes]

It doesn't alter timing but Mindcensor has flash so it's a valid play.

When breezy discarded at the end of his turn with Necro out and Dylan's dothy voidwalker, those cards should have just been excited, not excited with void counters on it because both are replacement effects and he should have picked the option that doesn't benefit his opponents more.

[@TheSpawnRoom]

Necro isn't a replacement effect. It has a trigger that exiles the card.

[@MtendoTheSkunk]

Survival+Necropotence is VERY bad. Beezy should be exiling every card they discard to Survival...
