Sometimes I think his decks are a little 'too' focused, especially on the set-up; he often spends the first few turns doing something...but then just keeps doing it.

I didn't actually see ANY spell he'd cheat with his commander, whereas I'd expect a deck like that to be running 16-20, along with 20-30 cheaper instants/sorceries (which includes every ramp instant/sorcery less than/equal to 3cmc).

Dont forget this is sponsored by WoTC and he can definitely be a little critical of them sometimes. May have nothing to do with it... who knows?

[@GovernmentSpyBird]

@@ScottySpeeks "He can definitely be a little critical of them sometimes" A lot, but I don't think this is the reason we did not see him. He has been on the show plenty of times before so I am not so sure WoTC have a say in the guest list. In fact, from what I remember they said WoTC sponsors them for early access to their videos to check that they are all family-friendly since it is their game. They said so in their TWD secret lair video.

Prismari Command's animation just made me lose my mind, I've rewinded that specific part like TEN times Absolutely phenomenal!

[@iceburnhex]

So, when Mizzix's Mastery resolved... all the cards had targets right? Therefore, making a token copy would be an entity that couldn't be targeted with the Haste Card... oops?

[@genericweeb3816]

I'm confused. Can you explain?

[@Pancakeli]

@@genericweeb3816 I believe he was meant to choose targets for every card before resolving any of the effects of those cards. One of those effects created a creature token after resolving it, so that token didn't exist to be targeted beforehand. That aside, we all make mistakes, and since it wasn't a super competitive match it's alright since it seemed everybody was having a good time. Hope this helps!

The thing is, the fetch should have saved him. All of Josh’s Mizzix’s Mastery spells needed valid targets as they were put on the stack, so the Accelerate shouldn’t have been able to give the copy of Veyran haste, because that copy didn’t exist yet.
