Can SmallAnt Speedrun A Commander Game?! | Shuffle Up & Play #23 | Magic: The Gathering EDH Gameplay

SmallAnt had at least one more turn. The three mana from Hydra’s Growth wasn’t subtracted so the Prof wouldn’t have been able to play Ram Through at the end. I wish he would’ve rolled at the end so we could’ve at least seen if he died from that 😂 A super fun game though!

[@catjazzhappycat7273]

So I got to the part where there should have been a pop-up explaining the rules violation but it didn't happen and now I'm seeing all the chat about how she got away with cheating.... So one in the beginning that could be just a mistake ( colorless used as Black happens ), But come on with blatantly doing things out of order,...

As a small learning opportunity for all of us: the Genesis Ultimatum should have resolved entirely, and only then would the Cavalier of Gales trigger go on the stack.

[@Pandajannick]

@@yonigle8553 It would actually be: 2 cascades on the stack, resolve one and find ultimatum, cast that, get things on the battlefield put etbs on the stack in the order she decides, resolve them, do second cascade

[@symmetrybokte]

no, the second cascade would not resolve before the genesis ultimatum, because cascade forces you to cast the exiled card immediately

[@RasmusVJS]

@@yonigle8553 That's incorrect. "Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second cascade ability. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability. "

[@DrkNinja_]

Just a heads up, especially for anybody seeing this and wanting to build malestrom wanderer, there was a large blunder with how things resolve in this game. The Genesis ultimatum has to finish resolving in its entirety before any of those enter the battlefield effects happen. This means that the cavalier of gales does not give her an opportunity to set up the next two cards that Genesis ultimatum flips, which means there could have been a whiff. Whenever a spell is on the stack and is putting cards into the battlefield that spell has the completely resolve before those ETBs can affect anything on the board.

[@StephenChristopher07]

I was thinking the same thing

[@mrsplays9817]

However, she would've gotten to cascade into one of those two 7-drops anyway instead of the ramp spell.

[@mrrodgers0]

Also, both avenger abilities would have triggered simultaneously (assuming it was in her top 2 before the cavalier messup) because it and stomping ground entered simultaneously, allowing her to get 4 more power on the board.

[@mrrodgers0]

@@mrsplays9817 I think the seven drops were drawn with cavalier based on the evil cackle, so she would have gotten at least one of them anyway.

[@outbreakprime6246]

I was just about to say, as a First Sliver player, I have had to take a course in how these plays resolve(cuz my friends hate my deck and argue any plays I make lol). Bloody made a great deck but fumbled big time. First she didn't finish her Cascade with Maelstrom, and then she didn't finish the Genesis Ultimatum.

So when bloody was resolving the genesis ultimatum and she hit cavalier, she should have had to wait to resolve cavalier until after genesis was done resolving Edit: wasn't expecting this much attention for this post lol. But a couple things, first from what I understand bloody is newish, so understandable that it happened, Second the other players didn't catch it, but I get that, I still make mistakes that I shouldn't lol and playing on camera is probably adding more overall stress to the game, so it's understandable that it happened, and third, I get that people couldn't watch past that point, while I could, some misplays in other games do make it hard to watch, so I think it's some what understandable if people had a hard finishing the video

[@jacobbrj]

I think genesis ultimatum resolves all at once. You don't reveal card after card one at a time. You can't use a creature that brainstorms in the middle of the resolving. But it would impact the second cascade trigger from maelstrom wanderer.

[@AronFiechter]

Yes, all spells and effects must resolve completely and anything that gets triggered during the resolution goes on the stack and gets resolved later. This is exploited for example when flickering Toothy, Imaginary Friend, to draw a card for each counter on him when it leaves the battlefield but still put all counters back onto it because of said draws, because the flicker effect must resolve completely before the draws happen.

[@suazaa8719]

Loved the content! I hate to be a downer, I know its a casual game, but there were some rulebreaks in the beginning there. Both Kamahl's Druidic Vow and Genesis Ultimatum must resolve in their entirety before any triggered abilities happen from cards entering the battlefield. So those 3 cards drawn from the ultimatum creature trigger would happen after all 5 cards are drawn/put into play. All triggered abilities would then happen simultaneously and you (the spellcaster) get to choose the order in which you stack those abilities. It can get quite complicated, if you want to keep your sanity don't ever cast 'Eureka' in commander when everyone's got a full hand.

That's where I hoped she was going with that.

[@petrikillos]

So Bloody asked for mercy after screwing up her starting 7 choice BADLY (she starved herself out of mana and required multiple lucky draws to do her wombo), had Smallant (the only person who could reasonably attack and steal the crown because of flying and creature availability) not go back on his word and steal the crown (which would have screwed Bloody out of the game), and the FIRST thing she did when she got her engine kicking and her board online thanks to that same crown was attack Smallant with all she had. Essentially, that "parley" everyone had previous to that turn was basically her asking JUST Smallant to not screw her out of the game in turn 3 (because again, Alias didn't have creatures, and Prof couldn't risk screwing over his only source of card draw); in my book, this is grounds for an alliance (at least for a few turns). However, the thing Bloody did was basically get Smallant out of the game immediately, even when he asked for her mercy in return for not stealing the crown earlier. Yeah, sure, she didn't immediately kill Smallant, but the crypt roll could have very well done him in, and considering that Alias summoning Gary again would have done 4 (or more), she pretty much killed him.

[@savagezerox]

@51:52 the Hydra's Growth was taken from the 17 floating green mana making the remaining floating mana = 14. Helix Pinnacle for 1 makes floating mana = 13. By then, a player incorrectly says Prof has 17 mana, which Prof corrects to 16, when in fact it was 13. Blanchwood Armor for 3 makes floating mana = 10. Bear Umbra for 4 makes floating mana = 6. Prof still has access to 3 mana by land right now. Nylea's Colossus for 7 means his floating mana is exhausted by 1, meaning that 1 mana needs to come from one of his 3 mana possible from his lands. So at this point he has access to only 2 mana via his lands. He does not have enough mana to play Snake Umbra for 3. That said, he did have the 2 mana to play Ram Through, and did legitimately win. The only error here was playing the Snake Umbra he couldn't play. The Prof did a great job and absolutely deserved this win.

If I am not wrong he miscounted his enchants though as he missed the enchantress presence, so his creature would have another +2/+2 and he would get 2 more green mana. Therefore get enough Mana.

I never knew that Smallant plays Magic! I can't say I have favorite KZbinrs, but Smallant is def up there. This news just makes things better.

[@nasayatcg]

Rewatching this video: Im pretty sure I want to play magic with Small Ant as badly as I want to play with Post, but for different reasons 😂

[@askarth9204]

Can't believe everybody's focusing on Bloody's misplay and yet no one ushered a single word about how fun and beautiful her nails were

[@danyaalolday6541]

I love this group. They all so unique but compliment eachother well. I could watch a sitcom where it was these 4 in an apartment, playing magic. Lol

[@VijoPlays]

I was so excited to see Smant and he did not disappoint even a single bit!

[@thatepicwizardguy]

If any game was the game to have a dockside in your opening hand this would have been the game. EDIT: good plays from Prof and I'm actually really tempted to buy that decklist and tinker with it slightly, looks really fun

[@amberhernandez]

The deck tech on it convinced me to try something similar, and I'm currently building a janky Thrasta, Tempest's Roar voltron/storm deck along the same veins!

[@nickjoeb]

Cabal stronghold doesn't tap for black naturally, you can't resolve triggers or other abilities while others are resolving so cavalier of gales can't have it's etb resolve while you are resolving genesis ultimatum. I'd love to work for you haha!

[@superbaas8822]

Smallant had an Urborg out, making all lands swamps.

This is such a nostalgic video for me. Watching Anthony Play Legends tribal is something I can't get enough of!

[@IchBinFreierGeist]

You know Prof, even if the table did t get your sweet aunty donna reference just now that I did, and I appreciated it

[@thatguysoko]

Congrats to Prof’s second win on camera!

[@DRfreehugs]

Once he won on camera in Game Knights, he became UNSTOPPABLE!

[@jianshen2223]

Bloody's self narration when they were going off is the most theaterically hilarious thing

[@coolcow5193]

I couldn't stand it

[@Arufonsa1]

Prof doing his best to make an Aunty Donna reference. All well time to get in the kiln.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

I said don’t get in the kiln!!!! Get out of the kiln.

okay i am going to order RAM THROUGH right now for my new multani and yargle commander. thanks for the tip, Prof!

[@DeanLK12]

I went to university with SmallAnt for a bit, its wild to see whats he's done and now, on a Tolarian Community College? Wow, super cool stuff

[@Smallant]

Switched from uni to TCC. Much more enjoyable learning environment. Was a great decision

[@DeanLK12]

@@Smallant Haha I agree. I missed that memo that went out or I would've switched too. Prof seems like his environment is much more fun ! :P

I am really happy for your first victory, Prof. Finally after years of making MtG content, it was bound to happen.

I appreciated the Bill & Ted reference, Wyld Stallions Rule !!!! *air guitars* Also congrats on not just winning but defeating all your opponents too. Your victory was Most Triumphant! *air guitars*

Congrats Professor on designing a deck on your own, maybe you win a game with it some day! :D

Lol I didn't know SmallAnt could play magic, but I'm not really that surprised either

[@patrikwilliams9591]

I’m so proud of the professor making an aunty Donna reference, truly a gentleman of culture :D

[@mattlozinski1700]

@25:25 technically, the genesis ultimatum is supposed to fully resolve then all ETBs happen at once, so cavalier of gales wouldn't be able to set up your ultimatum Love all the content and having some of my favourite poketubers on the show

[@PUDRETE919]

Glad the Prof could finally get a game on camera that he won, after years he has finally proven that he is, in fact, capable of wining a game of Magic

[@brandyourfan9244]

He has won on camera before. He won on a very popular commander channel, in fact. Spoiler... It was Game Knights

[@PUDRETE919]

@@brandyourfan9244 Which Game Knights Ep. did he win? I only remember him lamenting that he always wins off camera, but the moment they are on, he surely looses
