Tishana vs Minsc vs Aurelia vs Grenzo | Commander cEDH Gameplay

[@veilunveiled2931]

Damping Sphere's other effect is forgotten about so often.

[@derekgorlewski7870]

Whelp. i stand corrected: i was practically yelling at the screen that Jim didnt have enough mana for the pattern with damping sphere in play. But, like so many other subtle nuances/interactions within the massive card pool that is commander, i had to dig a little deeper to see if that was correct. Thankfully, as i am the enchantment player at the LGS where i work/play, i was wrong. Since tapping the land itself is not producing the double mana (like a bounce land or ancient tomb would) and it's the wild growth's effect producing the 2nd mana, it's not "seen" by the sphere as a land tapping for more than 1 mana. So glad this came up and that i was able to discover this interaction! Thanks Spikes!

The Hulk line was beautiful, that Minsc deck looks fun :)

[@chrisbedrin3618]

I love Jerry's bewildered look as Jim pronounces Naya and then cut/reset to "Red, Green, White" because of what I presume was some discussion/roasting

[@TheDige]

Can't crack treasures through an abolisher, so Jim was flush. I love grand abolisher + 4 drop recursion in a multi-hulk pile.

[@derickturner3070]

You can through minsc though. He casted abolisher for its ability for protection

[@toctheyounger]

Those dad jokes from Jerry made this 15 minutes a beautiful thing. Always a delight to see you gents back again.

[@LeojPies]

1 minute in and I gotta hit the like button if not for Jerry but for myself dying of laughter.

[@TyranitarStudios]

this is the second time I see Jim's hamster and oh boyy, it's very good!

[@The808andrew808]

The boys are back! Warms my heart! LOVED each deck so much

[@fumblehawk5661]

Mind is blown that Jim pronounces Naya neigh-a

[@HansHurin]

Shouldn't Jim have gotten 7 treasures from Dockside? Urza's Saga is an enchantment.

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Right you are! I always forget it's an enchantment.

[@lucarr1041]

It took me a moment, but Jim casting Pattern of Rebirth was the sign that the game was over

[@joshuaketchel-buschell5130]

I was not expecting Minsc to just win the game that quickly, I didnt think to use him with Hulk

[@Paul-ls6zv]

Been running a deck like this since the Forgotten Realms set came out. it goes off turn 3 about 30% of the time, turn 4 50% of the time and turn 5+ 20% of the time. Only thing I fear is instant speed graveyard hate and/or Rest in Peace.

[@joshuaketchel-buschell5130]

@@Paul-ls6zv I definitely want to give it a try, seems like alot of fun

[@Paul-ls6zv]

@@joshuaketchel-buschell5130 It can be a lot of fun, just make sure that if you are going to go off, you have some way of shutting out one more opponents, that's why the first Protean hulk sac gets Grand Abolisher, if that goes thru, the rest is usuallly solid for the win. The novelty has worn off a bit in the local grops I play with as it was first 'Minsc? Hmm, interesting choice, not sure how useful that pump ability is going to be' as my inner Dr Evil chuckled.

[@njmaloney25]

Am I crazy or did Jim cast that pattern of rebirth around 8:30 in with a land that created 2 mana with the dampening sphere out?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Wild growth provides an ability that triggers when the land taps for mana, so it produces 1+1 rather than 2.

[@njmaloney25]

@@TheSpikeFeeders aaahhh tricky! Good to know

Very interested to find out what hamster cEDH is

Your subtitle game is strong

[@AngryTotodile]

Is there anyway to get one of those playmats?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

These were a kickstarter exclusive from a couple years ago and are no longer available, sorry!

[@abrahamdrinkin2534]

I believe Minsc is pronounced “Minsque” in Canadian

[@didupaytheone2678]

Great win jim ,all the creatures and combat damage? Gg everyone see u next time

[@blackfang500]

Why did the Peat Bog still make 2 mana with Damping Sphere out?

[@crovax1375]

Wild growth is triggered ability that adds one mana rather than giving the enchanted land the ability to tap for extra mana.

[@lucarr1041]

I think it should have only produced 1 mana, but as they say, it doesn't make a difference. Elliot would just have 1 fewer treasure in play, which he never ends up using anyway.

[@SorcerySpeedConcede]

I love that someone else figured this out with Minsc! My casual Minsc list is act of treason effects to steal opponents things, hit them with them and then "sacrifice" them to Minsc. It's sooo much fun. :) Edit: I was very sad by the Minsc deck.... He killed our Giant Space Hamster :'(

[@dibles420]

You guys accidently leaked the Purple mana card backs :)

was that a Tame Impala reference

Why did bill stop playing magic?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

He just wasn't having fun with it anymore. He's picked up Flesh and Blood now and is having a ton of fun building our local community!

[@jacobslutsky9502]

Did anyone else see that Jim at 5:26 I believe he flat out ignored dampening sphere

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Wild Growth has a triggered mana ability, so the Taiga makes 1 then Wild Growth makes an additional 1 afterwards, rather than the Taiga making 2. Sails right under Damping Sphere's effect!

The game’s def changed over time 🫣

[@bgeda]

Is it a consideration that instead of pronouns taking point on the overlay, the generals names are displayed?

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

We've been talking about it lately and I don't think it adds much to the overlay. We introduce the decks and strategies at the beginning, but when people comment about game actions being taken by players, having pronouns handy can be a helpful reminder. When you're watching, is having the commander's name helpful?

[@bgeda]

@@TheSpikeFeeders for me personally, absolutely, it’s a helpful reminder at times when seeing whose turn it is. . That’s for the response!
