cEDH Gameplay with Major League Commander Decks| Koll vs Breya vs Urza vs Greasefang

[@Zzectbu]

Just spotted a pretty significant error, I'm afraid. @ around 7:50, Jim spins Urza in response to Drannith Magistrate, then attempts to cast it. Urza does not ignore timing restrictions, and Jim should not have been able to cast the Sapphire Medallion on Alex's turn. Edit: did not actually make a difference to this particular game, but is very important to keep in mind while playing Urza in the future. Also, got to say I'm a bit surprised the Greasefang list doesn't run Geier Reach Sanitarium. It's somewhat useful tech against Thassa's Oracle, and more consistently relevantly also allows fairly easy recycling of powerful and hard-to-cast vehicles such as Parhelion II.

Beyond this, wouldn't the Grafdigger's Cage prevent him from playing a card from his deck?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Good catch David. Grafdigger's Cage would do nothing as Urza exiles the card first.

[@jasondelre4536]

@@TheSpikeFeeders Ah beans, a classic case of "reading the card explains the card" and my failure to do so. GG

[@blakerobinson4198]

Came here to make this comment as well. Good catch.

10000% Maddy caption appreciator here. The editing, visuals, sound - this thing really goes. Nice job, Spikes!

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Glad to hear it :) I like doing them since its a way I can still be involved from afar. Back to Winnipeg-land in a few months though, and then I'll be in games again. :)

[@Halophile95]

The Futurama reference at 12:19 is an absolute classic. Thank you for being a big nerd, Eliot 😂💖

[@Tae_Grixis]

Great game, great fun. I will be watching many more videos going forward. I love watching artifact decks go off and the fun synergies they have. Breya, Queen of Esper is my favorite. I also have Urza.

[@burningpapersun1]

I love equipment decks and this extremely enjoyable to watch.

[@jordanmesibov6012]

Hi, loving the content and looking forward to binging on the videos in your channel! Is there any chance y'all could put the name of people's commanders on the screen, too, maybe next to the player's name? The big back of a magic card image covers everyone's commander in the center of the screen, so I was a bit lost at times trying to remember who was trying to do what. Loving the content though, have a nice day :D

[@jordanmesibov6012]

(I think the commander's names being visible on the screen during the gameplay will also be especially helpful for when people have to pause a video and come back to it later, since they may forget commander details that are revealed at the beginning of the video when they come back to watch the rest of the video)

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

We're currently overhauling our on-screen display, should be implemented within the next 2-3 eps.

[@jordanmesibov6012]

@@TheSpikeFeeders that's awesome to hear! :D

[@jordanmesibov6012]

[@micahmclain4291]

Would you guys be able to add in the commander names for each player near the pronoun section? It's super useful to be able to keep track of who has which commander since the card images in the middle of the screen cover up the library and command zone.

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

A few people have been asking about this and I am tinkering with it, but I want to make sure it looks good and not crowded. Hopefully I'll have a solution soon, stay tuned!

[@bigshrimpy]

The sapphire medallion wasn’t a legal cast, Urza doesn’t ignore timing restrictions. “Urza's last ability doesn't change when you can play the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty. If you exile a land card, you can play it only during your main phase and only if you have an available land play remaining.” Love your videos!!!

[@CassadyAlberico]

blurple 😳

[@Lucarioguild7]

No green decks? Literally unwatchable lol. Great game as always guys.

[@anattackgoldfish]

The pregame deck description cards are absolutely hilarious, "ursine road rage" might be my favorite phrase ever, outside of "Eliot smells" of course

[@alexmcgregor8658]

I cracked myself up with the Abba reference.

[@Qcheffing]

fun watch as always guys! I like that you left in the chatter about battlebots I looked it up and it looks like a British version called "robot wars" I watched as a kid 😊 also this thumbnail design is so much better 👏

[@jerry32123]

Alex’s shirt is better than any shirt I own. Clearly the superior Jerry.

Ben here, I loved the myr moonvessel combo.

I am 4 min into this video and the captions for the deck descriptions are everything I’ve ever wanted. Hand gestures as win condition 😂😂😂

i love you guys. that is all.

[@Mostlygraves]

As a clampstorm player this made me happy

[@sebastianrodriguez3129]

I have a question. Can urza cast spells or artifacts on other turns due to his last ability?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Nope, you still have to follow timing restrictions of the exiled card.

[@vccavalcanti]

⁠@@TheSpikeFeedersso it was a misplay when Jim Casted mox sapphire in response of magistrate

[@MaxDilthey]

Great game

[@beffuscleetus9999]

For the algarythem

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

What version of Copy Artifact is that?

[@lucasrezende4502]

Lets read the Gatherer: 14/6/2019 Urza's last ability doesn't change when you can play the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty. If you exile a land card, you can play it only during your main phase and only if you have an available land play remaining.

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Thanks

[@styfen]

Do you think in the future you could have the name of the commander or an image representing them somewhere on screen? Sometimes I lose track of who's playing what. :)

[@Koumorizen]

Was just about to comment this same thing! Or maybe the big card in the middle can be a tad smaller and the commanders would be in view? Love the gameplay though guys!

[@davidpipes6805]

I thought Urza’s activation didn’t get around timing restrictions??

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

It doesn't. That was an error during gameplay.

[@luce1746]

Hey spikes, newer viewer, just wanted to say that I like how you all put pronouns up!

[@thifelicii]

Isochron without ANY counter in hand ? Really ? 🤣

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Eh, with only 1 other blue deck at the table it wasn't a TERRIBLE bet. Sometimes you steal those!

[@thifelicii]

@@TheSpikeFeeders toooo risky .. play your wincon without nothing to hold the flame later.

[@thifelicii]

@@TheSpikeFeeders ohh just to mention, nice game btw

[@Snaugs187]

5:30, shouldn't the land have came in tapped and unable to be used?

[@zealot2147]

Also at 4:24 albeit minor and inconsequential, Jan shouldn't know what card is seen with Urza's bauble in a similar way that you can't just flip your opponents top card if you mishras bauble them. In casual setting its really nbd but in practice he shouldn't know what Jim knows. He knows Jim knows a card but cannot know which

[@Egovinco98]

What are you basing this on? As far as I know, the player who's card is being looked at always knows which of his cards the opponent looked at. Mishra's bauble being an entirely different beast, since the top of library is unknown or whatever

[@zealot2147]

I was wrong I had bad information from before in paper and don't use mtgo. My bad

[@elias1579]

cEDH is like running through the same iteration of plays with the best in slot cards in magic. I’m glad y’all are enjoying it but this style of gameplay is not for me.

[@Slim3398]

No need to put pronouns on the video if they are the normal ones we all know.

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Your opinion is noted, but they're not going anywhere. Sorry if it bothers you.

[@derrickpaulson3093]

Hey if you’re insecure enough you think people can’t tell what you are, keep ‘em.

Tad bit of virtue Signaling with the he/him on everyone’s display. Just play the game, this should never matter.

I promise you it's super easy to ignore if you don't care

[@derrickpaulson3093]

In every day life I have never had an issue telling me what people are, so why the pronoun usage unless, of course you live in imaginary land.
