TTJ: CerberusArms v Crim v Xell v Blackneto | MTG Commander Gameplay episode 17

[@marcthemerc23]

Just got both kids to bed, and instantly get a new Tabletop Jocks. Looks like its magic time for Dad!

[@wayneleblanc1287]

Spoke to my soul lol

[@DSP1927]

Just for reference (and it may have made a difference) - the DAMAGE is what's rounded down from Heartless Hidetsugu, not the remaining life total...if you're at 41 life, you'd take 20 damage, going to 21.

[@AtticsTV]

Yup. The best way to remember it, is that its designed to never be able to kill anybody with the effect unless you have outside effects like a Dictate

[@zombiefiedchris]

Ok, thank you for pointing this out.

[@godsiresfollower7987]

also he was attacked by a 5/5 did not block, activated that but never took the 5 damage prior or after the ''half lost''so 37 should went to either 16 (take 5 then cut in half) or 14 (cut in half then take 5)

[@zombiefiedchris]

I was itching everytime they halved themselves lol.

[@pantherhaste4554]

Yeah I just watched him ask "is it rounded down?" and get told yes, then go from 15 to 7... which is incorrect. Feeling bad for these guys for taking extra damage 😢

[@Albondi]

On gatherer for Rings of Brighthearth it says "You can't pay 2 more than once for each time the triggered ability of Rings of Brighthearth resolves." So I think it was a mistake, great video nevertheless.

[@XellClips]

oh no you're right! im realizing the shorikai would have to be able to reactivate in order for the rings to copy it again so im bad at magic the gathering. ty for that!

[@rodrigoavila4133]

it also takes two mana to start the infinte colorless mana loop, you dont just get it when you resolve those two artifacts. which would leave them with a single blue and a treasure? i couldnt tell how many treasures were left at that point.

[@isaacsmith3998]

I was thinking that! The card says "when you play an activated ability", so rings is a triggered ability and cannot be used as an infinite mana sink. I think the table was also kind of skeptical but wanted the game to be over at that point.

[@XellClips]

@@isaacsmith3998 Yeah honestly I was just trying to wrap things up asap since I just cyc rifted and im in a dominant spot anyways oh well it be like that sometimes

[@RazorbladeDog]

I mean the game had to wrap up eventually, at least you got to argue one last time.

[@ssmmeeaarrggllee]

on the first turn D tapped Hidetsugu, he got hit by Trelasarra but y'all forgot to count it lol

[@Zachem72]

Came here to say that. Well spotted.

[@kevinamielismael1680]

24:43 you could use pir's first ability to shuffle SDT to it's owner's library. it says "target player search for its partner" he's forced to look and shuffle his library

[@mitchelljudson9237]

Crim is literally me "I didn't test this deck so we're all gonna find out the power level together"

[@jakecallen9164]

1:11:15 D could've also equipped Blade of Selves to the dockside to get a metric assload of treasures. Doesn't matter since Xell cyc rifted but it was an option too.

[@TheCoyote808]

Just watched this video, and every time I watch an episode of tabletop jocks the pods remind me of Saturday night magic back home. You guys are the awesome! Keep up the good work.

[@SirRanSax]

I see Crim, I smash the like button!! Lol

[@Draylock1287]

Always a good day when I have new Tabletop Jocks, and Crim is in this vid truly a great day.

[@Lava_Spike]

There were some definitely troll plays from this lineup but it was hella fun to watch! I was wondering when this episode was coming out and I'm glad to have caught it!

[@GOOMBAHx]

I appreciate the judge pause. This happens in my play group all the time. And making it known is very help

[@TheOGLionQueen]

I do believe he couldn't have cast the cyclonic rift, with void winnower out. The MCM of the card is even, the eldrazi sees the MCM not the alternate casting cost. It wouldn't have been able to be played/cast at all.

[@chrisyourfriend59]

This is one of the best episodes, in my opinion. this group is awesome lol.

[@XellClips]

Thanks for having me on! Meekstone MVP >:D

[@TabletopJocks]

Omg that meekstone put in WORK!!! Always lovely to have you!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@TheOGLionQueen]

I do believe he couldn't have cast the cyclonic rift, with void winnower out. The CMC of the card is even, the eldrazi sees the CMC not the alternate casting cost. It wouldn't have been able to be played/cast at all.

[@jonsol8471]

Great episode!! 2 games!! Thanks!

[@Rezzik]

I love multiple games in one episode, thanks Joe.

[@TabletopJocks]

Of course! The first game was so quick we had to run it back!

[@rieanonorati66]

For future reference......when a spell is copied it is copied EXACTLY, meaning you get an exact copy of the spell that was cast, which includes bonus effects such as kicker, overload, "X" costs etc. and all targets for that copied spell. The only way to change the targets of the copy is for the text of the copying effect to state "you may choose new targets..."

[@dojodean]

Great game! Great folks! Thank you!

[@PhaseRabbit]

I personally wouldn’t advance the turns until the tutor is complete. It gives them insight to see what they should get based on the 3 turns it took to tutor.

[@MarvelOfRain]

39:50 Nothing says Commander like: "I tap my Savannah to cast Fountain of Renewal"

[@dilandoesitbetter9026]

Joe you have put together one of the best magic channels and always have the best guests. Not to mention you as a host just makes the show legendary 🤙🤙👏

[@benjaminkaye5119]

Trelassara was attacking and never dealt its combat damage that first attack. Crazy game

[@reedpadgett9056]

This is the type of magic I always strive to play! Love ya Joe! Hope to play with you one day

[@TabletopJocks]

Thanks for the love Reed! Definitely I’m down! Hop in our discord anytime if you’d like! www.patreon.com/tabletopjocks

[@DMorfin11]

I clicked as soon as I saw Xell in the thumbnail. gonna be a good game

[@TheDinkelist]

Happy we delivered on the SOUL RING!

[@alexgutierrez5073]

Trelasarra is super underrated, so glad to see her kicking some butt! Great episode as always 💯 Joe if you need a 3rd flyer in there, go with Wall of Reverence, it’s a great blocker and I’ve gained so much life from it

[@weswilson9062]

absolutely love the channel! always excited to see new content! keep it up guys! mtg for life!

[@TabletopJocks]

Appreciate the love! We’ve got plenty in store!

[@Whiskyandrock]

The copied Cyclonic rift plus the regular rift should've made everyone return everything to their hands because all of Josh's opponents return everything and then the copy returns all of permanents except for Crim's to their owners hands so it should've been a completely neutral board

[@the8bitninja218]

The copy was never made, because the cost on Wandering Archaic was paid.

[@chrisgoodhind1821]

Best guests! So much fun! Laughter all around

[@TabletopJocks]

Glad you had fun!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@JulieGeorgeComedy]

such a great group of dudes! love this episode

[@TabletopJocks]

🥰🫶🏾🥰🫶🏾

[@helloiamjt]

D blood mooning himself, what a god

[@SnapquesterMage]

I'll have to use that one! "Negotiation is on the stack" 😅😂👍

[@tarekt8427]

sloppy game in many spots. However, this was still an awesome pod + game. lots of fun. what an edh game should flow like. all 4 decks hit scary highs. ...........Crim pretending in 2nd game he was weak but his board before the Cyclonic rift was about to pop off in a serious way.

[@tlwilson32]

So sloppy... felt like it was first time some of them had seen the cards before.

[@crawdaddy1234]

The Nitpicking Nerds, in their casual games, have a house rule that each player scries for how many people go before them (I.e., first player doesn’t scry, second player scries 1, third scries 2 and fourth scries 3).

[@Qroe]

Possibly the funniest Op Agent in history.

[@DocB_83]

10 min in and Rakdos has everyone’s life near single digits…. I feel like this may be a multiple game video. At this rate maybe 3-4!

[@professortoketcg]

Joe I just wanna say as a black content creator myself you’re really the inspiration man….keep winning my dude…

[@craigjewell4720]

When the first game's turn 3 came along, I was wondering how you managed to milk over an hour out of this episode XD

[@TheDwiest]

Yooooo Joe! Thanks for the Friday content.

[@rieanonorati66]

Also, since Crim copied the Cyclonic Rift, Xell should have bounced his nonland permanents as well, followed by Crim bouncing his for Xell's Rift.

[@shawnmciff1513]

once it was determined the overload would copy, he just paid the two... he had a million treasure anyway

[@brewersmagic2011]

Another absolutely killer episode Joe!!!!

[@commandergamer3337]

Joe, your response to heartless hidetsugu was hilarious!

[@miceinattic]

Such another great video!! Love a double game video! And love the authentic feel of the games. If you know you have no chance at winning. Go out swinging to the person who spited you first. Lol.

[@Ricky.Pestana]

Love the shirt!! Gotta love ROCK LEE!

[@derboy995]

Wild animations & a banger video as always 🤙

[@ScrapsandSlaps]

1:17:11 should the rings and monolith produce infinite mana? I thought you can’t copy mana abilities with the rings?

[@BrodyTwice]

Love the channel Joe!! After all that toxic drama I'm happy you emerged the hero!

[@TabletopJocks]

Thank you for the love! Happy to have my friends here and having a blast!

[@scoobg21]

Love the BushyBrow shirt 🔥

[@screebb]

This rakdos may be my new favorite deck

Great Games!

[@hiddenleaf414]

Love the representation in this episode!

[@TabletopJocks]

That’s what we do on this channel! We’re here to show all walks of life and representation!

[@benjaminkaye5119]

After drawing your deck , shorikai would have been tapped. But I am sure there was something in his entire deck hand lol. Keep up the great graphics and fun banter.

[@didupaytheone2678]

Game two crim got that fast start, are we dead guys, these effects are great, city of ass killed me 😆

[@mikeknightofdawn]

Where did the myriad trigger go after the cyclonic rift? He should have still gotten 2 tokens attacking after and etb triggers.

[@andrewschwab921]

Did Joe not resolve damage from his first moon dancer swing? Like I know he tapped the thing to make everyone lose half their life but like he still swung and D never blocked

[@Cerberusarms]

Yeah I took 1 damage for Moon Dancer’s first swing

[@Cerberusarms]

@@ArtEPersonal you’re right cause it’s a 2/2 with a counter due to essence warden. Mistakes were made, there’s a lot to keep track of and this was the second time I’d played my Rakdos deck which I think shows

[@ArtEPersonal]

@@Cerberusarms definitely not faulting :) it was fun to watch.... Always choose violence

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

Oh my God I know 3 people for once and I'm not pleasantly surprised by new episodes and new people to follow! Mtggoldfish's very own crimbo Xell, I saw him doing a bunch of broadcast stuff for League of legends also ALLCHAT and of course your boi the tabletop jock.

[@eventuelleon748]

guy bottlom left should get a magecraft trigger since he gets the copied dark ritual right? 47:27

[@eventuelleon748]

ah he did later on but missed the one from the spell he played for free

[@ajaydassani9931]

11/10/2020You can't pay  more than once for each time the triggered ability of Rings of Brighthearth resolves.

[@robbiestevens1208]

I have a rakdos deck and I love it when it goes off just gets nasty real quick!

[@timwright3218]

Get that coffee money. Absolutely perfect edh synergy.

[@TheBrothering]

Joe and I have the same sentiment towards smothering tithe..never paying for that crap, you can have the treasure 🤣

[@mibbzx1493]

And that was everyone’s downfall, pay your damn taxes! got hit by an infinite tsukiyomi and milled to death 🤣 dont fall for the bait

[@aurabullet4128]

That last turn of the Second game was an absolute mess of bad sequencing but still fun to watch none the less. Lol

[@shottybeatssword]

The best Magic channel atm. No fancy animations or techno music

[@TopMuffin7]

When Joe played heliod's intervention and wandering archaic copied it Crim should have gotten another copy due to twinning staff

[@mibbzx1493]

Yup and i would’ve targeted blind obedience because that in combination with meekstone is nasty

[@jasongarcia7731]

That was wild!

[@watchdominion00]

Y’all cant round down 😅 great episode, spoiling us with two games!

[@charlesreese1546]

Great first game D

[@ElOriginalTaco]

Game 1: Joe attacked with 5 power and the hidetsugu was activated. Should that have been half the life - 5 so 13 instead of 18? Did I miss something?

[@didupaytheone2678]

GG everyone. D had the game from the start? Got the God hand had to keep?

[@unnecessarybasscovers9711]

Loved these games a lot Irks me a little how salty Dee gets at azorius after dominating in the first game. Like, just because you managed to play 4 eldrazi, the table doesnt need to let you swing with them, you gotta respect the stax

[@cmich7979]

Greatest Pod

[@lightyagami284]

Man that's crazy I just realized I'm not subscribed to this channel I clearly forgot to choose violence when watching great content

Game 1 - 2x takesies backsies Joe!

[@Shadowof1ife]

Green white life gain deck is good one to build around

[@Itsyadic]

I’m confused shouldn’t the life drop by 1 when 3 remains because the card states that it deals half damage rounded down to it should deal 1.5 then down to 1 damage so D should of had 2 not 1

[@creolekolbytv]

The red dragon in house of dragons I like to think is a Hellkite

[@obicortes8199]

As Tovolar player I just wanted to let know that he first made it night he was mistake because Xell had cast Mana Crypt. Although it wouldn't really make a difference since Dee didn't cast anything his next turn just wanted to let you know.

[@wanny225]

Rings of Brighthearth only triggers once so you can't keep copying the ability...

[@nik700]

1:16:22 For the folks at home: try paying the two (love you Joe! but this one is on you)

[@Linderhoth]

The first time they reduce their life to half, is there a reason why the damage of the 5/5 didn't go through?

[@rara2ra2yrra3racjj2]

They call him "D", but after that first game, I'm inclined to call him "The".
