Taking 7 turns off and then casting a Zendikar Resurgent is a level of durdle I didn't know was possible

[@jamesgreenwood1703]

I thought durdling was doing a whole bunch of stuff, but none of it is impactful?

As Richard pointed out at 3:07:00 if he Tooth and Nails for Old Gnawbone he hits for 14 on Seth, makes 14 mana, uses it to cast Eternal Dragon which gains haste, and then uses Fury of the Horde to hit Seth with one dragon and Crim with the other two to kill both securing the W

[@davidhansen5067]

I just about screamed when I saw Crim picked my Giants deck! Can't wait to watch this after work and see how it performs.

[@nathangardner4084]

Richard's hand these first 2 turns is hilarious

[@Gravbomb353]

I'm excited to see Seth playing my deck, I knew he couldn't resist Swans. I powered it down a little so it was good to see that it wasn't too absurd, and the table was able to stay competitive.

[@nathangardner4084]

The part where Seth just started asking people what their favorite oil has me laughing way more than I think I should be

[@ElDocBruh]

That was hilarious, a game decided by a haircut and a timeout. Love it.

[@mitchelldarragh4048]

This has got to be one of the longest commander clash games/recordings in clash history considering we know based on the haircut this game went at least 3 hours and 50 minutes

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

Basically yes. Our meeting starts at 1PM to record but usually we start the game like 10min after. I did leave at 4:20pm to reach my 4:30pm haircut though.

Only about an hour in so far but this seems like the most fun the crew has had in a while. Great fun decks!

[@MonsterCC]

Tomer as a fellow frequent "archenemy" target Ive learned you have to steel your emotions or else people will enjoy targeting you too much 😂

[@jamesgreenwood1703]

I find it best if you play the long game. Most of the time you have to agree when they target you EVEN if you think they are wrong so that sometimes if you really need something you can question them and they will at least consider the possibility that you are right

[@VRanger100]

Been a while since we got a long video; even longer since we got a 3 hour one. I’m hyped.

[@ericgodat3516]

Honored to have my deck featured! One Richard punt away from glory!! Thanks for a great video!

[@ringoderbar1522]

@Richard This game feels like a cool way to teach the importance of making the right land drops. Richard could have had all 5 colors turn 2 by playing Raffine's Tower ( 03:43 )instead of Xander's Lounge. Ultimately ( 01:53:00 ), he couldn't play his angel that turn. I don't say it's objectively a bad play, maybe Richard had something in mind. And maybe it was even better to play the Morophon instead of Angel. Who know's I just think it's interesting how a land drop at turn 2 affects the game x-turn later. Love you guys!

[@DonovanPresents]

Hey editors: could you clip the point where Tomer top decks the Skull Clamp? I think that would be an entertaining clip 😂 Thanks in advance lol

[@ajaxender12]

One day, one day I swear, you're all gonna gang up on Richard immediately, before he can talk his way in to being ignored while you turn on each other.

[@efnfen]

Nah if you attack the guy who pays you to play commander with him you get a write up

[@tierfunmtg]

1:48:04 You can absolutely "fizzle" Star of Extinction by removing the land that it targets before it resolves. If all of a spell's targets are illegal when it would resolve, it doesn't, and it is put into the graveyard instead.

[@sampy1004]

Back in 1999, a buddy of mine had an Enduring Renewal, Ornithopter, Goblin Bombardment deck that was a lot of fun to watch go off. Good to see one of these cards again

[@Coyote81]

Watching Tomer play the bounce land and Seth's face with the hunger to strip mine it. If it only had flash.

[@hsMaskman]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who built a 7-drop deck inspired by Tomer's 6-drop deck (and deleted tweet about wanting to see 7-drop decks)

[@ms.sysbit5511]

This was the best viewer submitted pod ever. Great submissions everyone!

[@levimedley9926]

Was I the only one screaming at my screen for Richard to cast Tooth and Nail every turn?!😂

[@JNB6037]

Couldn’t Richard have killed Seth at 3:08:07 by choosing Karrthus & Terror of Mount Velus? Both triggers make them double strike and haste since they enter at the same time under Tooth & Nail?

[@HypnoticGG]

Yeah, but Fury and the two red cards from Tiamat (had it worked that way) would have been lethal too.

[@TheObstalace]

The problem here is that he needed to kill crim and seth in the same turn since crim can just kill him next turn (richard is at 7hp). Someone else pointed out that he wouldve gotten 14 treasures from karrthus & gnawbone securing him the double kill since he can drop another dragon and take an extra combat (who wouldve guessed gnawbone is broken).

[@Graatand]

Atarka, World Render would have worked too

[@PALIGames]

Awwww i didnt know yall were doing viewer decks i would have totally submitted one.

[@musepwnz]

7 drop tribal could really benefit by playing a Nyxbloom Ancient so you can actually do more than one thing a turn

[@richardpennertz8180]

I love the Chicken Pizziola call-out! Such a great sub!

[@mikeknightofdawn]

So… $55CAD haircut? Flying high there budget commander. 😂

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

Now we know why Tomer is always playing budget decks, his money goes towards haircuts ;)

[@atle853]

I shudder to imagine what Tomer could do if he used his drip dollars on MTG.

[@mikeknightofdawn]

@@atle853 it’s probably for the best to let DRIP do its work. It is definitely to Tomer’s benefit to not mess with that flow too much when it could serve him well over time.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Hey Crim totally understand that feeling. I bought a table and new bed sheets and a pillow and I’ve been so excited about it.

[@illyannalavynne2033]

Saying Land Tax is a bad card has the same weight as calling Cosmo a bad dog. 😂

It took me almost an entire day on and off to finish watching this, which is probably pretty equivalent to how yall felt playing these decks haha

[@remembertobreathe66]

2:15:28 The "favorite oil" gag will never get old!

[@derekgorlewski7870]

i really enjoy dropping an enduring renewal from time to time. Sure, it's a combo piece with any 0 drop creature, a sac outlet and a weaponized (or mana positive) etb/ltb effect, but it can also just an added layer of protection for a high value creature, and filter into non-creatures in decks that want them. I play it mostly in my Sram, Senior Edificer deck and it helps filter into equipment/auras, but in a pinch, can also just win with blasting/grinding station and ornithopter/memnite 😀

[@mandielyn0416]

Did Tomer say that Garfield intended a single card draw to cost eleven mana? Could someone please show Tomer Ancestral Recall?

[@kingfuzzy2]

Garfield tended to design cards that where more dexterity oriented like chaos orb and falling star

[@jamesshaver1429]

Not Crim's cheeky Moisturize at the beginning and end of the episode XD

[@NarffetWerlz]

It's odd that despite her being one of the first legendaries I ever pulled from a pack, Asmira, Holy Avenger is not something I never even considered a possible commander.

[@SmashPortal]

I think Tiamat would've made more sense as Richard's commander. That lets him fetch several of the dragons in the deck. There are 15+ Dragons in the deck (not counting Tiamat), so it would've been a valuable tool for refilling his hand. I think Morophon is lackluster in terms of synergy with the deck itself.

[@Awesomesausages]

Tiamat makes you a huge target, unlike Morophon (at CMC 7, Morophon's cost reduction is pretty fair-Magic :P ). I imagine that's part of the reason - if not, then Tiamat would indeed be a *far* better commander.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Big fan of three of these commanders hope the decks are fun for the whole table

[@swordshaver]

is this it, is this finally the fabled tomer and crim team up game? while tomer is playing a green deck no less??

[@zombiemage1451]

as far as the Monarch question after Tomer left, AFAIR, if the player holding Monarch concedes, the active player [or next active player if it they concede on their own turn] gains the Monarch

[@zaklawrence-earey6832]

I don't understand why Richard doesn't Tooth and Nail to put Angel of the Ruins into play

[@matthugenberg8869]

So you know Richard, you were correct about strip mine and star of extinction. If ALL targets in a spell are not there, the spell fizzles. Its why a lot of newer spells that do things that target and draw cards say target player. So if someone had strip mine'd your land, the only target of the spell would have been gone and the whole thing fizzles

[@exsnypre]

@@winssports4830 Serparate effects doesn't matter. 608.2b If all a spell's targets, for each instance of the word target, are now illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and is put in it's owner's graveyard.

[@julianalvarez4231]

Game was so long I think this might the be first concession I've seen happen for this reason

[@Coyote81]

This might be the first time I've ever seen a fair Enduring Renewal played. Usually it's a infinite combo of some sorts.

1:46:25 for some good richard sounds

[@Revanaver91]

Okay I must be missing something, why is Richard not casting Tooth and Nail? He’s got the mana to Entwine it and everything.

[@Stupidexport]

I was wondering the same thing, but I think it's just his style not to make huge game winning moves unless he needs to or is sure they'll actually win

[@efnfen]

His style is never cast anything decent, never stop talking. Goad his employees into attacking each other and then three hours later play his spells Makes for great content

Chicken Pizzaiola. They don't officially make it anymore, but they'll whip one up if you ask. It's chicken breast, cheese, marinara sauce and peperoni, toasted.

Tomer’s haircut is 40 USD?! That’s quite a lot for hair of his length and style

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

CAD

[@Muongoing.97c]

@@MTGGoldfishCommander 55 CAD = 40.47 USD according to Google. Your hair looks good, Tomer, but I don't know if you should be spending that much for a haircut. Is that pretty standard in Canada? Because it is double the price of a standard men's hair cut in the US. Actually, having done a bit of research, it looks like I was wrong. Prices have gone up a lot since I last went to a barber's. Sometimes it pays to not have any hair.

[@nycstreetpoet]

Richard’s ability to cast Tooth and Nail with entwine and then never doing it is driving me insane. If he loses without casting it, I will lose faith in the game. Old Gnawbone would’ve given Richard the game because the treasure would be enough to hard cast the Fury of the Horde, with an extra attack that could’ve won, or at least put himself in a much better position.

1:48:00 Strip mining crucible would have fizzled star of extinction. Star of extinction has only one target (the land) so if that target is removed it won't resolve.

[@UnderrealmLich]

​@winssports4830 please learn the rules before correcting people who are actually right. From 608.2b: "If all its targets, for every instance of the word “target,” are now illegal, the spell or ability doesn’t resolve."

[@traviscochran9253]

As much as the timeout is a valid way to lose, I think it's fair to call it Seth's win by him declaring "I have X amount of lands, I can reduce you both to 0 life. Do you have the interaction to stop me?" Still a cool win and great game, just sucks to see timeout loss right before the win.
