[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Enjoy our re-make of the Theros-themed commander gameplay. Be sure to vote on the in-video poll to let us know which of these commanders you would like to see in a regular seasonal game! Again, apologies about the large misplays in the last attempt we made at this pod. We are working on improving our production system in order to cut down / eliminate any future game-changing misplays.

[@matthugenberg8869]

What.... What was the misplay? I saw the video, and I don't remember seeing a misplay. And I am generally very aware of those

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

There was a mis-targeted cyclonic rift (the Ricochet trap) and Bill played cards from the top of his library when there was a Grafdigger's cage on the battlefield

[@henryr5905]

Also ransack the lab says top 4 not top 3

[@henryr5905]

At around 17:42

[@luismiguelpradopatino2483]

The pure epicness of this game makes it a fortunate mistake, we would have missed this otherwise, great job guys!!!

[@anxez]

Jeez that end. Winning with someone else's jace is the ultimate in swag.

[@Kazz1187]

I thought they tutored for a counterspell and not a jace haha

[@caseywellington4761]

One of my friends was getting milled almost to the last card in standard, then at the literal last second he stole the opponents Jace, ulted, and won right there

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

My personal favourite was the time I cast Batwing Brume against a Rhys the Redeemed opponent who was attacking with 10,000+ tokens and a Coat of Arms in play. "Haha! I kill all six of you at once like a dozen times over!" "Iiiiiiiin response..." 😈😇😁

[@jacobjensen7704]

If there were ever a Magic the Gathering anime, that last turn would be an anime level turn.

[@Eric_The_Cleric]

And this... this is to go... *EVEN FURTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

[@dittmar104]

FINAL TURNO!

[@kobisjeruk]

21:30 My brain: "Why would a red/black deck worried about pyroblast/REB...oh. OOH!"

[@randox24]

Seriously, this channel just keeps getting better. Immediately owning up to mistakes and spending extra time and resources to rectify it. While I can't afford to support your Patreon, I certainly will as soon as I'm able. Easily my favorite EDH content creator.

[@PlayingWithPowerMTG]

Great video! Great ending! These are the types of games that are very entertaining. I’m really liking the quality and attention to detail. The hand tracker is cool too! I know what it takes to make that work, so kudos to you!

[@another-dude-named-michael]

Bill gets both of his combo pieces exiled. "No prob, I'll just steal someone else's"

[@copperfield42]

I like that loading progress bar in the self shilling section XD

[@charlesmaillho367]

That last turn was absolutely brilliant. Clearly the pilot of that deck knows what he wants to do and then even winning with someone else's card is amazing. Great game guys.

[@Kazz1187]

Yes and yes, they really fought for that win especially with some of the listed win cons gone

[@Grand_Admiral]

Love that Underworld Breach + LED + Wheel of Fortune interaction.

[@SpyrotheDragon97]

Holy coow I didn’t not expect that ending. I didn’t realize how powerful Underworld Breach could be, that was AWESOME.

[@Arcdemon44]

In my opinion is the most powerful card of the set and one of the best cards ever in red for EDH.

[@quarth9396]

the last game was amazing and now I'm even more hyped know these commander's potential

[@DommyXMommy]

Bill should have just paid 2 life to surveil the wheel back to his bin. The ad naus way very unnecessary

[@Frommerman]

Sometimes you just gotta win more

[@CA-zn8hu]

Or use Sensei's Top to draw the Wheel and LED it back to the grave.

[@ben.shields]

Yeahhhhh, I've been sooooo hyped as soon as I saw Underworld Breach. Hot take, it does more to the meta than Thassa's Oracle. Hulk decks are still hulk decks, but this is such a boon to red!! Great example of its power Casually Competitive!

[@jordanburton9819]

There doesn't exist a card with Thassa's Oracles ability, for only 2 mana, and on an ETB, it's very strong. Underworld Breach is good, but in many decks it's like just Yawg's Will.

[@ben.shields]

@@jordanburton9819 that's why I put the tongue in cheek disclaimer of "hot take". Oracle's strong, better than Jace. It unifies consult and hulk. I think it's the number 1 win con. But it doesn't fundamentally change how the meta fights hulk or consult. At the end of the day you still counter flash or the pact / consult. That's all I'm saying. On the other hand, Breach is way beyond YawgWin in Opus Thief style decks

[@martinnagy9916]

Ben Shields true but Flash Hulk is just miserable to fight, since it forces suboptimal play patterns from all other players at the table. Before Oracle, you could at the very least tell yourself that they have to fill up their deck with dead weight like Narcomoeba, Dread Return etc. making their topdecks worse than those of other decks. Now they get to slot in like 6 cards for their combo, none of those being a terrible topdeck on its own (except maybe a part of the breakfast combo) and fill the rest up with juice.

[@ben.shields]

@@martinnagy9916 the best deck is the best deck and it got better. It is what it is. Is it really miserable?

[@martinnagy9916]

Ben Shields I actually think it is, since before the printing of Oracle, Flash Hulk decks werent the strongest decks in the cEDH meta in my opinion. The so-called CST decks offered early lines to victory in Scepter or Consult and had exceptionally good lategame because they didn‘t really need to run dead cards like dread return etc. Yeah, they missed the raw speed of hulk, but made up for that with card quality. With oracle however, you don‘t get punished in deckbuilding (through the need to incorporate parts of a hulk pile), and can sit back on your flash from t2, waiting for the perfect window, giving you the hulk speed and the cst lategame grind ability. Take all of this with a grain of salt though, since I am just salty that I now need to buy oracle, hulk and flash :-)

[@coreysierchio4650]

Underworld Breach is at about $6 now. Groovy video. Thanks for the content.

[@ujai5271]

Wow, that was very fast, considering what you posted yesterday

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Spent a long night and early morning in order to remedy out mistake

[@DrunkSemenThrowr]

Which mistake if i may ask? I was going to inquire regarding if cyclonic rift could indeed be redirected due to the wording on rift, but then the vid got taken down.

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

There were quite a few. The cyclonic rift mis-target and Bill playing cards from his library with a Grafdiggers Cage on the battlefield.

[@MJnyxstar]

@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG it's all goodn we all make mistakes. Your channel is good, don't worry too much about it :)

[@43xbruce]

This game just proves how crazy good the top end of the MVP card can be, what an incredible game!

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

Nice vid! Thanks for your commitment to the highest quality, and to produce a whole new video so soon. Cheers!

[@colinbrown5646]

13:23 Dawn of the Last Turn

[@AsterAether]

That was a spicy last turn ^^

[@hardcoreeconomist1089]

That Kroxa deck just blew my mind!

[@fernandovilla902]

This is EXACTLY the kind of media I'd support and crave for. Competetively pushed assortment of just some Commanders. A constant feed of this would be my #1 watched Commander stuff.

[@trygin3041]

Damn, that lion eyes diamond is ridiculous with this combo! Very cool win to see!

[@sebastianlambert3440]

Props to Bill for building that lineup for a proxy!

[@Twistedlittlesmile]

Wow what a match! That last turn was incredible

[@Repairgenius]

Excited to see some new Theros cards being freshly played! Cant wait to see what new card interactions and new combos you guys cook up with these new cards!

[@classicsidepart1477]

Great game,great content and high quality as the last times!!! Guys,I'm happy your content exists! Becoming a patreon is not an option atm,but things change in life ;-) What a blast to see that Underworld Breach go off!!!! Was hyped for the card and it delivered.... Keep it up!

[@ujai5271]

What a sick game that was! I loved the end there

[@Fariorn]

Awesome idea to proxy new cards early to test them in game!! Good job dudes

[@crovax1375]

I'm really excited to see Kroxa in action. It's possible with an ideal god hand to win with the Worldgorger combo on turn one!

[@Alikaoz]

Replacement time boys

[@GaucheEtVeule]

I wanted to say that Bill is the hero we need in the other video. Now I'd like to say BILL IS THE GOD WE MUST WORSHIP!

[@Quroe_]

WOWOWOW! Underworld Breach is going to be hot.

[@hairlesssasquatch5589]

great work getting another episode up, pretty impressive.

[@hiddenleaf414]

Joseph should really spread out his board. At times there are 6 cards in a space that only 2-3 can fit in. Especially when cards like Aven Mindcensor are just hiding under his Commander.

[@brettsutherland8390]

I don't think it would've mattered but Ransac the Lab looks at the top 3 cards, not 4. Amazing video as always! Loving your content

[@Habizbah]

Paused before first turn was over to say psyched on hand count icon. Nice touch.

[@RexelGames]

This last turn.. wow. Fantastic!

[@seanedgar164]

Very convoluted but I like the creative finish! 10/10

[@jgmclellan]

Awesome deck Bill! Have been playing w a R/B deck w similar plan, will definitly be stealing from this list!

[@thedog7494]

I can't believe that nobody has pointed out the fact that Bill is wearing a hentai sweatshirt. Great video, by the way.

[@chimneyimp1486]

didn't even realise this

[@fuzzyhell]

This is one of the most insane combo centric games!!! Absolutely epic!!!

[@andrewmarinkovich8657]

Nice! Underworld Breach = super good. Based on the opening hands I figured the Heliod deck had the clearest path to a win, but it wasn't to be. A very well-played last turn by Bill.

[@byd1516]

Really was looking forward to seeing some gameplay with Uro as a commander, thank you

[@ClassicDura]

I see you there with that Saber playmat and Ahoge hoodie Bill

[@greengandalfziggy1]

Goddamn Underworld Breach is BUSTED! A new cEDH staple in red for sure.

[@fleamarketkeanu]

Those playmats are so fresh

[@gavcanflip]

That end was BONKERS

[@DarkTiesandRibbons]

The comments on this vid could not prepare me for how mindblowingly amazing the win was in this game. That was some high level play.

[@DeathJester40k]

Wow the Rakdos deck casting Duress checking for pyroblast. Until I saw the Jace I was really confused, HOLY SHIT BREACH IS GOOD. This set is powerful.

[@AbbenHung]

so fun watching someone play solitaire...

[@morganmchenry325]

I am excited to see more content.

[@Karonar]

Joseph doesnt draw of Alms Collector when Thrill of Possibilities is cast or resolved because Bill dredged and therefor only drew 1 card.

[@nebDDa]

the mono white deck is doing surprisingly well

[@idk_Glass]

Honestly want all of them to be played again. I am actually making a Uro EDH deck currently, when it was leaked I thought it looked pretty interesting.

[@tReNhEx100]

That was beautiful !! I can't wait to play with Kroxa .. just got a pre-order on the foil extended art.. I planned on the underworld breach plan but had zero idea about stealing a Jace to win the game through static ability .. hahaha it was genius level !

[@Adrian-dt2oz]

What a match to the RB deck

[@Parodox306]

That last turn went about 9 minutes in the video, I can't imagine what it must have been like to sit through all of that.

[@Taphosthewarlock]

That kroxa deck was awesome

[@Layjus123]

Underworld Breach....the new Yawgmoth's Will. I was really excited when I saw that card spoiled.

[@SirDanyTheWarrior]

Who would've thought, the 2 mana improved pif is absurd He played the combo pretty clean tho

[@reymarkable]

that ending was hella tight.

[@jacobbecicka2291]

Epic game! I want to build a rakdos deck now but LED and Wheel are so darn expensive.

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

Yeah the combo I definitely not a cheap one, and we normally try to avoid really expensive combo lines, but this one just seemed to fit into Rakdos really really well

[@Mugen8Jin]

Looks like Bill is wearing the most bad ass sweater ever. 😏

[@ansolo24]

I really like Bill's Saber playmat

[@StrawMan1235]

Wow, underworld breach was absolutely insane there.

[@Jesse7260]

I love watching people play solitare in mtg

[@luismiguelpradopatino2483]

Jordan played Uro ASAP, but Bill didn't play Kroxa on turn 2. Since he's on Rakdos theres no countermagic waiting to happen is there a reason to not start making opponents discard?

[@Arcdemon44]

Perhaps didn't want to paint a target on himself early, letting the Heliod deck become the problem.

[@ivorymantis1026]

That final turn. I wonder if anyone was like, "I'm gonna hit a Wendy's real quick..."

[@ryandanaaryadi3359]

that underworld breach is insane wtf

[@PedroViniciusBCPires]

I'm in love with Kroxa's list

[@horribleville]

Wow what a turn

[@somefishhere]

Great interaction this game!

[@Someone-nu9bd]

Nate missed a LOT of klothys triggers, even if you don’t actually declare any attacks during your turn, you still move to the combat phase at some point and can therefore use klothys’ ability.

[@elipetrou9308]

I just found your channel, definitely dropping a sub.

[@UnknownDutch]

20:00 why didnt he just let it resolve and use doom whisperer ? or divining top ? to get the wheel back

[@RntLnr]

I couldn't understand as well. They must have forgotten it was on the battlefield, specially with how long the turn was... Noxious Revival was a weak interaction in this situation. But it was for free, and they would loose the card anyway. So I guess if they remembered, their objective was to make Bill loose resources, specially if he used Doom Whisperer, as his life was already kind of low.

[@kindalllowder3595]

Little do they know... wheel of fortune + lion's eye diamond + underworld breach.

[@xChikyx]

Underworld breach is BRUTAL!!!!! HOLY SHIT

[@johnyedinak1180]

This was an awesome game I loved it

[@shellshockthelagiacrus3247]

I actually did get to watch the previous one. But I had to stop midway through to go to prerelease at my local game store so I didnt get to watch all of it sadly. Either way this video was cool

[@nicholas8739]

THAT LAST TURN HAS ME WEAK! 14:44 is my new nightmare

[@Kazz1187]

At 8:31, I fully expected to see the animate dead resolve instead of the demonic tutor haha

[@kaisinnott6774]

First time I've seen a non-blue deck try to draw out of its deck lol

[@alanbruno5449]

uau, generally i don't share videos, but some of yours gameplays i NEED to show tom my friends bro!

[@Cheshirekat.]

I came to see Kroxa played and watched Rakdos win with Jace... *mind blown*

[@rsvpjcp6569]

the rakdos player somehow managed to play blue

[@tedgop1932]

I definitely need this enchantment for my joira deck !!!!!

[@elpoluz9172]

wooow my brain bouuum!!!! XDDDD VEry fun video :D Saludos desde España ^^

[@benjamincarter6095]

That was an epic game!

[@Halinn]

11:05 - just a note that Ethersworn Canonist only prevents casting additional nonartifact spells. I don't know what Bill had in hand, but that could have been relevant

[@Rafesco]

A kroxa that looks and plays like Anje, RB looks very powerful now

[@exhibitnine]

Thoroughly enjoy the content, and I look forward to more being made, but I would like to add some suggestions. Note: I understand this is cEDH and that it natively comes with particular combos that are a package deal. 1. When showcasing a commander from a particular set in the cEDH execution, I would still like to see more utilization and creativity with maximizing the value of the chosen commander rather than using it for their color devotion. (Thrasios & Tymna complex) 2. In regards to the Misplays, as even here I heard (Look at top 4 and discard three : It was really Look at top 3 discard 2) I believe scripting to the video after card slideshow production would be best. In addition, perhaps seek out the help of a ranked judge in your locality to supervise and ensure accuracy of plays and leave in the correct gameplay. If no judge is available, include the assistance of a 5th member or maybe utilize a live stream and discord channel to acquire that access to judge level supervision. I already subscribed, and look forward to seeing what yall do moving forward.

[@craig1287]

From 13:20 all the way to 22:35 the video is just Bill playing out that massive turn to trigger his win. That's one annoying as Hell win con. That's nine freaking minutes after the editing is made which means his one turn took quite a bit longer than that when they played. I feel bad for the guys just sitting there wondering when they'll get to play Magic again.

[@chaelsonnen1]

Underworld breach is insane

[@Abyzdecannes]

Holy shit that's a hell of a combo

[@margdargon5855]

gg! from marg

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

gg!

[@Bcdeano]

Well, I guess if anyone was doubting underworld breach's power.....wow

[@Starcraftgamer97]

Hey, don't worry to much about the misplays. You're all already awesome for owning up to the mistakes and reshooting the game. That already makes you all cool in my book.

[@smittynumber1812]

I love watching Commander turn into a single player game

[@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG]

You're telling me

[@martynscott5192]

Hahahahah

[@dajosh96]

Was bill discarding at random to azras ability? It was supposed to be a random card but it kept being his stinkweed imp

[@horribleville]

Reread the card...

[@Dylan-vs6sf]

Azra isn't random

[@dajosh96]

I have no idea how i misread that card so badly. I’m having super bad internet rn so the screen was blurry and wasn’t able to read it in this video so i was basing it off my one experience with the card. I just put it in my Anje deck and somehow misread it to read at random. My bad lmao
