All their generals are from WAR, Bolas was one of the first cards we got to knew from WAR (though it was through a leak). Not having a Bolas deck might be a player choice not a lack of time

Again, I wanted to get into Brawl... but it rotates, so it's not happening.

[@restlessmosaic]

Eternal Brawl at eternalbrawl.wordpress.com is where the nonrotating version lives. Pick a Standard environment from history (banlist pre-Brawl is cards banned in Standard), build out of it, and you're good. The site is all the possible commanders and Scryfall searches for each. I've got a Brawl deck for each possible Standard (32).

Rotation is what draws me to Brawl

[@DarkEinherjar]

Nah... it's pointless if I have no friends who are also into the format. :/

[@restlessmosaic]

@@ZaxploitationFilms Yeah, I've liked the two-year (basically) restriction on cards. It gives more cards purpose, rather than going "is this Cyclonic Rift? No? Toss it." And because the cards were R&D tested together, it's less likely that truly busted things are happening. My INV/ODY/7 Cromat Brawl deck is loads of kicker Battlemages and Volvers and Tek and Draco types. Stuff that's not good enough for Commander but still loads of fun.

When jimmy died, shouldn't niv-mizzet return under emma's control instead of the command zone ?

[@karkius]

"Gain control" effect should have ended before exiling anything controlled by Jimmy. You are correct.

[@valgeir80]

Yes sir.

[@scarlethart7857]

If it is a permanent that gave him control, then yes. If it is an instant or sorcery, then it goes to command.

[@rdckrson]

Arrennia that’s not correct. The effect is ended, and the creature returns to its owner’s control. It’s under rule 800.4a. Only permanents OWNED by the losing player are removed from the game, not permanents CONTROLLED by the losing player.

[@JonaxII]

Mistake at 54:50 Niv was grabbed from the Battlefield, so the moment the control effect ends, he goes back to Emma. He should only get exiled/commandzoned if he came into play under Jimmy's control, so there isn't an original controller to go back to. Edit: see comp rules 800.4a

[@HamburgerTime_]

Came in here to mention this too. Emma may have won by having another body on the field.

[@DerLhurgoyf]

Only dug through the comments to find someone mention this.

[@JmLyan]

That rule only applies to continous and temporary gain control effects (like mind control and act of treason mentioned in the examples for that rule). Entrancing Melody on the other hand is a one-shot effect, it happens once and then the game no longer acknowledges its existence. It is not something that can "end" at a later time.

[@JonaxII]

@@JmLyan that is not true, look at the rules notes for Melody.

[@JmLyan]

My apologies then. Still find it weird that the examples of rule 800.4a mentions every other type of gain control effect, but not the one-shot types, especially since its quite an obscure rules interaction that doesn't work how most would expect it to.

Pretty sure Jimmy should have given NIV back and not put him in the command zone 800.4a. When a player leaves the game, all objects (see rule 109) owned by that player leave the game, any effects which give that player control of any objects or players end, and all spells and abilities controlled by that player on the stack cease to exist. Then, if there are any objects still controlled by that player, those objects are exiled. This is not a state-based action. It happens as soon as the player leaves the game. If the player who left the game had priority at the time he or she left, priority passes to the next player in turn order who’s still in the game.

combo... i guess?

I think this was my favorite episode ever. Great demo of the new cards. Cedric and Emma had amazing plays. Josh had best mat ever. Jimmy. Well I don't know what Jimmy did in this episode.

[@Mrwunderwaffles]

Yea John is boring as fuck

[@robintarket6844]

I would love that soooo much

[@Chalky2023]

I See ral. I See josh is playing it. I really hope josh just does an infinite copy loop to win the game...

[@misthelix617]

same

[@mcintyre0591]

Need 2 copies of expansion/explosion. Brawl is a singleton format

[@Jahsart23]

I think they avoid loop combos because it's such an underwhelming way to win in casual play. they also avoid spells that slow the game ie. Sensei's top, Lim Dul's Vault Pillow fort strategy and so on

[@Rol4nnd]

@@mcintyre0591 I think with -2 Ral, Doublecast and expansion you can still go infinite

[@IlluminatiHottie]

I doubt he put the cards in the deck and if he did he wouldn't go infinite on the show

[@spliffi869]

Haha that moment when Cedric is rooting for the coin to be in his favor made me laugh out loud. Nice round again and nice vid as always! ty for the quality content @ the command zone team

[@shellder11]

Emma and Cedric were great guests! Great job and thanks for more great content.

Cedric : " I will never financially recover from this"

[@dakotamcintire7419]

Jimmy: you know what, how about my lazotep just not working? Nicol Bolas: Know that feel bro.

[@mkol1998]

Josh at the start of the video trying to say brawl without barfing.

[@aidennoir597]

*goes to comments to comment on that tense clutch ending and overall exciting game *sees a bunch off people whining that it isn't commander Why am I always surprised by this?

[@maxpociask]

War of the spark is so dope. That's just the truth.

[@jamesbygames5336]

Brawl is a bad format though, just the truth

[@jamesbygames5336]

I do like war of the spark, this is indeed a good set

[@jakubburian8874]

Just a quick rules call, the Mizzet should have returned under Emma's control after Jimmy died as stated in: 800.4a When a player leaves the game, all objects (see rule 109) owned by that player leave the game and any effects which give that player control of any objects or players end. Then, if that player controlled any objects on the stack not represented by cards, those objects cease to exist. Then, if there are any objects still controlled by that player, those objects are exiled. This is not a state-based action. It happens as soon as the player leaves the game. If the player who left the game had priority at the time he or she left, priority passes to the next player in turn order who’s still in the game.

[@14Blackspirit]

That was an awesome episode btw. A lot of back and forth and everything could happen at any moment.

[@deinemam7115]

that kayas wrath was the worst boardwipe my eyes ever witnessed

[@johnkon292]

ya as she did it i just thought: i hope she loses! it was just stupid

[@KostasTheDark]

Welcome to the worst board wipe in the history of recorded magic, folks.

[@Queegon]

Niv-Mizzet returns to Emma's board when Jimmy leaves. The change control effect ceases to exist and Niv returns to last controller, if any, or is exiled, if there wasn't any before (in case of something like Bribery). Might have been a different game...

[@diamondaries9966]

I’m pretty sure that only happens if the control is due to an enchantment or other permanent

[@marpj6138]

Rule 800.4a say "every control effect end". So it should go back to her board

[@jimpassaro]

@@diamondaries9966 Gather Specimens, Bribery, Commandeer, and Hostage Taker are all exceptions, because they involve zone changes, but Entrancing Melody and Mass Manipulation are simple "control effects", which end when the player controlling the effect dies

[@JmLyan]

Thebluedragon98 is correct. Rule 800.4a applies to effects that grant you control for as long as the effect remains like mind control and act of treason. Entrancing Melody is a one-shot effect, not a continous or temporary one, and is therefore unafffect by that rule.

[@marpj6138]

@@JmLyan It still a control changing effect that can be ended. The gathere of the card itself point it out that in a multiplayer game the control will end. The fact that it has not a determined end dont change that the card has a previous controler and the game will check it. Again, its on the card gathering so it should not be a inssue

[@lilyoftheveil666]

As someone who doesn't really care about commander, this was still a lot of fun. Everyone had great energy and it seemed like they were all having fun, which is what matters the most.

[@fatalshore5068]

Yeah in my play group winning seemed to be what mattered most. Hence I only play online now. Paper magic just is not fun when people get legit angry and take it personally if you remove their stuff, sigh.

[@sushimartyr6311]

I kinda love the circular structure of Cedric starting off by calling card draw the best part of the game, and then after having his faith in it tested for a few turns after that board wipe, it ultimately became how he won. It feels satisfying, from a narrative standpoint.

[@concongaming]

Anyone just binge watch the commander and brawl series’s when bored?

[@rhealastname266]

All the time

[@dylanbaley4289]

K brawl is cool, but when are we gonna see Oathbreaker 😍

[@lukestange]

ForeverLaxx coming from somebody who actually has played oathbreaker before, it's a ton of fun.

[@Jeffxm003]

Looks fun. If we get a game knights going on it, my friends might actually want to build it. Right now I'm the only one interested

[@stormcrow4202]

When Oathbreaker isn't a broken format with loose rules. So, probably never.
