Trostani vs Alesha vs Ghave vs Sen Triplets EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering

[@MrMcSack]

>Winter and Construction< sounds like a toptier modern-deck. I'd play it.

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Dustiness same here in Massachusetts. Winter and Road Repair.

[@esperderek5383]

So, here's an important lesson: All things being equal, if an opponent has both Mirari's Wake and Zendikar Resurgent out, you should probably take out the Zendikar Resurgent. +1/+1 to all creatures is generally wayless dangerous than letting them draw a card every time they cast a creature, and if they regrow the Resurgent, it costs 7 to Mirari's 5, so it'll cost them more to play it again. But mostly the on-cast card draw trigger.

[@adams333]

I was thinking the same thing while watching the game.

[@luckyskin09]

agree 100%

[@RobbieEctor]

My thoughts exactly.

[@MrHeroZero7]

Pretty sure your first Rishkar's expertise got countered by Jamies Soul manipulation, which can only counter creature spells... not a huge deal but did change the game a bit.

[@ThreatLevel9]

Bryan would not draw from Deathreap Ritual when Alesha “died” from Vindicate as she went to the command zone, which is a replacement effect, so it didn’t actually die.

[@dahuntre]

... until now!

[@YouWillNeverKnowMan]

When I see "Me" among the players, I instantly like the video 50% more.

[@CeltiesSin]

Processor feels so dirty in Tristani, but is so satisfying when it hits the field xD

[@EliPye35]

5:27 "Completely destroys my immersion in the game" lol Equipment will do that.

[@marceloquejinho]

Eli Pye remember when Standard was about a bunch os hawks holding swords?? Good times, old times

[@EliPye35]

Marcelo Leria Yup!!

[@thegheredin5700]

The true face of fear is a sigarda wielding 3 swords, two hammers and an hot soup

[@bryanstage9715]

Rules stuff: Alesha doesn't trigger morbid when she goes to the command zone. Rishkar's Expertise isn't a creature, so soul manipulation cannot counter it. Muddstah should gain 18 life from Momentous Fall, as it should still be doubled. Muddstah should have an extra floating mana from casting mirari's wake on turn ten. Bryan should be making some extra saprolings on end steps with floating mana with all those overrun anthem effects in his deck. He misses a lethal twice because of it. Sometimes the play is just to have a bunch of dudes and murder people, especially when Trostani gains so much life every turn. I think the right play is still to force Muddstah to altar to get blockers out of the way, but I'm not actually sure what Jeff can do to you with your deck rolling and at such high life totals. As always, I love your videos Muddstah. Keep on doing your thing =D

[@DarkEinherjar]

I'm surprised everyone kept targeting Mirari's Wake instead of Zendikar Resurgent... sure, pumping creatures may be a nuisance, but drawing a card for every creature cast sounds even more dangerous to me.

[@hafusan]

Dang, I just discovered this channel. Instead of going to bed to get enough sleep I find myself binging your videos and having a blast. Already in love with your channel, thank you for making videos!

[@signisakanades1329]

One note with Coat of Arms and Mirror Entity, the thopters would have been much larger, as it gives them all every creature type. Harsh Sustenance wouldn't have killed the entity and each creature would have been size 25/25 or something like that.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Oh good point!

[@Eru22gr]

In that case shouldn't you have gained more life from the elephant token entering the battlefield :) ? Really enjoyed the game, keep up the good work !

[@Zaalbarjedi]

8:00 Note for future: you cannot cast both Path and Claim by tapping only Command Tower, as under Resurgent you would add either WW or GG, but not WG.

[@zakkwyllde]

soul manipulation (jamie's counterspell for rishkars expertise) can only counter creature spells :/ cool game nonetheless!

[@MTGMuddstah]

Oops!

[@anachronity9002]

Also Bryan shouldn't have drawn off of Deathreap Ritual for killing Alesha. If a commander 'dies' and gets sent to the command zone. Being returned to the command zone is a replacement effect - they never actually went to the graveyard and thus don't trigger those abilities. That's a really common slip-up, I know, because even if you're aware of that rule it's still very unintuitive and easy to forget.

[@krazedcosmo]

Great Job Muddstah! I have built a deck based on your Trostoni deck and I quite love it.

[@BaalDaimon6]

1:49 when alesha was put into the command zone, she didn't die, therefore no morbid trigger

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good catch!

[@andreasorphanou5469]

I honestly think this was one of the most impressive and fun to watch games on your channel! gg well played

[@6render]

I've watch A LOT of your videos now and I've got to say, I enjoy watching these far more than the command zone (which I also enjoy)

[@guillermojrboy3292]

Your Trostani deck was extremely resilient. Very impressive! I built a budget Trostani once, but dismantled after a couple of games. I didn't know Trostani can be this powerful.

[@dietmargotsch592]

I have to say that i didnt like the old goblin voice, but I miss it now every time i see the intro...

[@CheesyBrie13]

um... Coat of Arms and Mirror Entity on the board at the same time... ummm.... i think it had +Board/+State and that the harsh sustenance wouldn't have been enough to kill it

[@MTGMuddstah]

Yea, mistakes were made!

[@crazydude324]

So everyone forgot Coat of arms is a global effect? the shapeshifter should have been huge/huge and the thopters would have dealt more damages. Can't blame you though, every time the card is played in my playground we either forget it or just destroy it on sight because "it's too annoying to count every time".

[@MTGMuddstah]

I blame Jeff, but you're right. It just didn't click for us.

[@AffinityForCommander]

Great game! Trostani is incredibly powerful!

[@Acraviotot]

Wow. Every time I see that Trostani deck I love it more and more. That was a great game!

[@kennythereaver1]

That was a really good game. I kept thinking threat assessment. The recursion in your deck is bonkers.

[@vaclavposlednik9855]

I really like that silent Danse Macabre, that plays at the start. Gains the video so much tension :D

[@nickreed1367]

i absolutely love the sol kanar the swamp king playmat. It brings back fond memories from way back, i need me one!

[@HateParty]

I love how your trostani deck is put together. A graveyard subtheme deck in those colors is so cool to see.

[@aarontenner6362]

What a great game for your trostani deck; each time i see it, it tempts me to build it, despite how I already have my favorite selesyna deck

[@silminnee4876]

You’re Trostani deck is absolutely amazing

[@admanios]

Whoa. Your Trostani deck really knows how to bounce back!

[@171relic]

I’m sold. Building Trostani. The Seance is hilarious

[@worldthroughabucket]

Nice game! I was constantly trying to figure out why you were milling yourself. Then you dropped that seance and it all made sense :p (Also Karmic Guide and Sun Titan).

[@MTGMuddstah]

My Trostani build aims to exile creatures from the GY to make them into tokens. I've got a primer up on the channel that explains it in details.

[@Wurikasikan]

My new favorite channel. Keep it up guys. 😃😃😃😃. What a gem.

[@RandoFromMars]

Matching playmats are just... *chef's kiss*

[@rexxraul]

I, for one, enjoyed the RKF playmats!

[@LeeeroyJensen]

Wouldn't you have gained 18 life off of the momentous fall because of Faithmender?

[@redmillion7089]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@MTGMuddstah]

I'm bad at math =(

[@DarkEinherjar]

MTG Muddstah no, you're just bad at remembering your own triggers and replacement effects, as Rhystic Study has proven it. :P

[@MTGMuddstah]

Hurtful, but I mean, you're not wrong.....

[@xellsunday]

youre still my favourite cmdr channel so dont worry

[@andyik9009]

love that trostani deck, always fun watching you play it

[@darylchiu9030]

That eleventh hour life gain was insane. Trostani is a beast in your hands. :D

[@bananacatrun4848]

That was an amazing game, I am so impressed with your Trostani deck, my god! Makes me wanna make a Trostani deck

[@urawhat]

That trostani deck is 🔥. 😎😎😎 Cool game! I never saw the mill win coming.

[@MarvelOfRain]

Maybe the single best game I have seen on this channel. Up until the last couple of turns I wasn´t sure who is going to win. Also love the Trostani deck. It really came together and it is interesting to see it´s development from your Conquering the Commander video up to this point. There is nothing more fun in EDH-deck building than doing something certain colour combination really isn´t supposed to do. Waiting to see how good Bramble Sovereign is in the deck. Do you also run Helm of the Host or do you find it a bit too clunky?

[@Garchicero]

1:45 Im not sure if Alesha going to the Zone would have triggered Deathreap Ritual, because it never technically dies if you send her away due to a replacement effect.

[@MostafaWatji]

Lovely game :p I truly love your Trostani deck, everytime a pleasure to watch it ! Greetings from France :)

[@BangThatGong]

Wow that was a fun game. I want to see more trostani now that it looks like youve really ironed it out!

[@MTGMuddstah]

It's getting there. I still need to work on the early game. I find it can be a bit bulky and slow turns 1 - 5 if I don't hit a ramp card or two.

[@placeholdername-1]

This Trostani gameplay is so satisfying. Top tier non-cedh deck.

[@Squidxx-fg7ih]

Wow that was an awesome game! great job with Trostani you hung on by a thread for a while there

[@ryanmullen9177]

After watching a few of your videos with Trostani I'm really tempted to make this kind of deck with her!

[@Serberus08]

Not sure how you split the colours for the Path and nature's claim

[@Lucarioguild7]

You see Muddstah when a mommy Nalaar and a daddy Nalaar love each other very much...

[@luisgonzalez121]

This was the most interesting Trostani deck that i have ever seen

[@MayoIsMyInstrument]

Same seasons as Minnesota. Hello from South Canada.

[@tonyontilt3522]

Glad to see you finally win a game with Trostani, I'm building her right now & watching all the games to see what works well. Do you run any token doublers or not worth it in your build?

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Your Terastodon restored my faith in this game after Vindicate was WASTED so horribly when the Deathreap Ritual and the Journey to Eternity were* there. Jamie wasted a power card right there.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Haha thanks!

[@lucasoyarzun9902]

Lovely trostani deck as always!

[@reinoutvangeel]

Love these RKF playmats!

[@addambarcelos]

Dude, your trostani deck is insane. So much value xD.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Merci!

[@knightfromlordran]

ive watched your trostani deck a few times its fun as hell to watch

[@namename4903]

Gotta say that i love Trostani and all the life gain shenanigans. She is my personal favorite commander!

[@pietromasneri2872]

i don't really understood why Jeff kept destroying your mirari's wake instead of your zendikar resurgens

[@Customerbuilder]

I think Jeff should have tutored for Murderous Red on Turn 7, and cast it w/ his 4 open mana. Cast Alesha turn 8, attack, recur Anafenza, forcing the table to deal with a combo piece or lose on the spot. Alesha is nasty; even budget builds have several great combos. It's hard to see the right line without playing a ton of games.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Yup! It's a tough call sometimes and we can easily get lost in the moment and miss some lines on occasion.

[@drvinylscratch1936]

It feels good to know that whenever I play an esper deck usually Oloro or Sen Trips I’m not the only one who gets bolted down to death early on because the deck is too much of a threat. Tell/Reccomend Jamison to make Oloro the commander and add a few cards to abuse his totally not eminence, eminence effect so he has more life to survive getting bolted down while he draws some tutors to find the triplets. And also have more resources.

[@zaddyzathog4087]

lol bryan was clearly upset with me for stealing his memorial, so i died like 10 mins into the game pretty annoying. ill consider your recommendation thanks

[@thewaffler43]

Well done bro! I bet playing trostani this game was fun af

[@seanmachlan3282]

Love your version of Trostani.

[@classicsidepart1477]

Great game once more... can only imagine how long it was in real time :-) Josh and Jimmy from the Command Zone almost ALWAYS say: "Whoever starts to cast multiple spells a turn and channels through his deck is likely to win the game." ==> Well, I guess green/white just showed us how it's done ;-)

[@MTGMuddstah]

The game was about an hour and forty five.

[@MrHoorang]

jamie conter sorcery with @conter creature spell@ in 6:00

[@jakekenny5007]

So at 5:56 did Jamie use Soul Manipulation to counter a Non-Creature Spell? But anyways I enjoy the videos for the crazy commanders people build!

[@MTGMuddstah]

Yea, we realized in the game after that it was Creature only. It was a bit of a whoops, but it was too late to fix lol.

[@Riftstatic]

I suddenly want to try building a Trostani deck. From 2 health to over 170, my god was that satisfying to watch. I would love it if you posted your current deck list on tapped out

[@MTGMuddstah]

The list is on TappedOut. All lists that are available are always in the about section.

[@dakotagraham888]

I watch in VR, so that it feels like I'm actually there

[@MTGMuddstah]

You might want to avoid games with Kevin in them then. He farts A LOT.

[@AuraXars]

I really wanna build trostani Graveyard shenanigans now, that was super cool

[@robertburns22]

that counter at 5:50 isnt a creature counter spell?

[@Cabbrickk]

The Trostani deck is awesome! :D

[@ArcFallen1]

Awesome game! Trostani really rocks!

[@DeluluDan]

Nice comeback! I noticed my decks lack in situations like that. Any future vids for tips?

[@lachlanjones962]

So my gag is going to be I only play graveyard decks. I already have Mimeoplasm-tron and Karador etb built, I have half a deck of Trostani token reanimator in sleeves (Still need trade for more cards), and I'm planning on building Alesha aristorcrats. Any other graveyard decks I should add to the list?

[@FrowningTable]

5:56 soul manipulation can only counter creatures, right

[@Shirano556]

I really want to build a a trostani deck like yours. It looks so fun

[@crypticmrchimes]

Tristan’s token reanimator? Well this was a surprise... And as an Alaskan I can sympathize. The four seasons in Anchorage are June, July, August, and Winter.

[@mathieu7921]

Hey! Really like your video and channel. You said you film in Mtl. I'm from the area too. Do you film in an LGS?

[@MTGMuddstah]

I do! Typically I film at Gamerz Co-Op on Thursdays, but sometimes I go to L'Abyss in St-Michel.

[@exaroc571]

what a way to win, amazing.

[@Quroe_]

Back from the brink! That's what I like.

[@ADGamingLLC]

OMG where did you get those Richard Kane Ferguson artwork playmats?????

[@Javx97]

* GENERIC TOKEN NOISE *

[@liamwood2878]

I never seen a Trostani deck in action is this a normal build? it's interesting that it wants things in grave and i love it!

[@SampleChan]

I went to look at the alesha list, are you sure it's the same as the one that was played in the vid ? Knowing phyrexian tower alone is ~£30, I doubt the video alesha list is budget :P

[@pauldyson8098]

"Winter and construction." lol!

[@adams333]

So true...

[@spiralhaze2070]

14:40 - 15:40 Whoops all life, Whoops all libraries!

[@Fearthecow792]

1. Deathreap ritual, and any morbid triggers for that matter, don't trigger off Commanders hitting the Command zone, as Alesha did. 2. You would have gained 18 life, not 9 from the momentous fall on terastodon, as Rhox Faithmender was on your battlefield. 3. Coat of arms affects ALL creatures, and mirror entity turns creatures into ALL creature types, as well as making them base x/x, so all creatures on the field (and more importantly, the attacking ones) would have grown considerably. On this same point, your elephant token hitting the field would have gained you more life.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Good catches!

[@flaminggorilla909]

This was a really good game well played guys

[@JurinoJr]

Can someone explain Jamie what "instant speed" is?

[@yoshisalaverry5502]

Why block a 1/1 token when he has Deathreap Ritual out?? I would MUCH rather fall to 39 than let him draw a card. Also why target a persist creature with Duplicant when you have a sac outlet on board?

[@grillosantos8599]

Hey my dudes and dudettes, can you all help me with something? does any of you know a video where they drop a test of endurance on the field, and andrew makes a freeze frame scratch record effect. Anyone knows what video it is?

[@MTGMuddstah]

It's this game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGLWe5uOeKl4obc&list=PLtMmIcAO3f9p4kGRFaLOoK-pu7nrQXPlQ&index=39

[@grillosantos8599]

hell yeah, thank you

[@xakuyer]

I will name myself *Generic goblin noise* on whatever game i can !

[@jormungardwe]

this trostani deck is looking sweeter by the weeks.

[@daniellawhorne181]

Holy crap, what a game!

[@Eishinryujoe]

It’s strange to run Akroma’s Memorial in a Ghave deck. Doesn’t it basically make it that you can’t use Ghave’s abilities?

[@calebhalbrook1506]

Pretty sure you should've been gaining double life from faithmender, notably when saccing terastodon to momentous fall

[@DarkEinherjar]

I was about to ask why you didn't exile BOTH graveyards with the double trigger from Angel of Finality... but then you just milled Jeff out of the game, so never mind.

[@MTGMuddstah]

It was a power move. I had to assert my dominance on the table by showing Jeff that his graveyard meant NOTHING to me.

[@pkphantom]

That Trostani was HELLA resilient 😯

[@JustOneOnOne]

Why wont the guy share his Ghave deck? Does anyone a good semi budget list? Thanks

[@permafrost2064]

Other than the potential win con as seen in this video, why do you run altar of dementia? Is it intended as a wincon? or do you run it for another reason.

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Kirk Fortune to mill himself to prime his yard.
