[@loganshaw4527]

He said he was not playing with his food "mean while did not keep track of the real amount of mana he was making." I think he was playing with his food and that got him killed.

[@Duskraven377]

Jim's final turn is one of the most epic sequences I've ever seen in a game of EDH. Bravo!

[@kennethmorgan8795]

That was terrifying...

[@JohnDoe-vm1rr]

He also be able to sac a last gob for the elie's mayhem devil ping olivia before her angel get back😮 But, as he do"nothing" before turn 6...

[@xGranmargx]

Olivia to Jim on EDHijinks: Whhhaaattt....don't hurt poor Jim, he's at 16! Olivia to Jim on Commander at Home: I'm sending you to the shadow realm Jimbo

[@williamriven]

Engaging by pointing out that Deathsprout can't target Rhystic Study. Also, lots of fun seeing the Spikes doing Hijinks.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Agreed, Professors voice: Reading the card explains the card ;P LOL

[@kennethmorgan8795]

Yeah I was super confused there...

[@MtendoTheSkunk]

Webcam magic is the best! You can just say the card does whatever you want and no one will correct you!

[@user-cw5xe3ys8z]

What an unfortunate stopping point for the video

[@WiLDRAGE777]

So I did the math, and accounting for the fact that the Storm count was at 8 and not 7 when Empty the Warrens was cast, Jim went to combat with 1662 colorless mana floating in his mana pool. If I tracked post combat mana usage correctly, he then died with 419 colorless floating after restarting from 0. Mana Echoes is silly. I mapped it out in a google sheet because why not.

[@EDHijinks]

You're the real MVP!

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

What could be more nightmarish than Ovika flying, dropping Gobbos around while blaring Bon Jovi, It's my Life! :P LOL

[@dreadfulpopcorn]

Deathsprout says target creature, don't know how much it matters but it is what it is since no one caught it

[@moongurd20]

It would matter pretty big i think thanks to the target being rustic study either making people spend more mana or letting Jim draw more cards. Just my personal opinion that it is a big miss

[@hadeszero4526]

more surprised jim didn't catch it.

[@JohnDoe-vm1rr]

In the comments for this😢 Also vesuva coming tapped but taking a mana from it the turn as it come into play... Why😢😢 And also the olivia's forge need 1hp to activate

[@cliff5n0t3s]

It hurt my brain I was wondering why I didn’t see enchantments as targets. Glad it was a misplay I feel smart for catching it.

[@filipe.campos.]

The fact that Jim popped off so hard and didn't win is my favorite thing. I relate so much

[@BuckShotTherapy]

Jim should of drawn cards for each attacking goblin with kindred discovery. Im pretty sure he would have decked himself at that point or from casting the other cards

[@thedeaderer8791]

Definitely would have. And his rhystic should've still been alive. And eiligh only had 11 treasure yet she used six to cast that card then used 6 to ping Olivia but only took off 6

[@Ramen4Days]

Yep. And it’s not a may

[@voidprism_studios666]

And i think he missed ovika triggers from eldrazi monument and chaos warp

[@whatsupdoc6358]

I was so confused at first why Olivia had a top every turn at the beginning, then i realized that she was using it and didnt say anything. I started the episode just to make sure isaw it right since i was building a deck at the same time hahaha

[@ericap1098]

I see Hijinks and Spike Feeders together, and I click so fast! So much fun with patron decks!

[@ericap1098]

Also, that game was bonkers!!!

[@dreadfulpopcorn]

Even though they slightly corrected it, mana echoes does a lot more than just increasing. Since all of the goblins hit the battlefield at once, they will see each other. If you have no goblins on the battlefield and create 3 off of ovika, they will all see each other and make 9 mana. BUT, they are phyrexian goblins and Ovika is also phyrexian, so mana echoes will create 12 colorless off of that. Jim probably had several hundred if not thousand(s) of colorless floating if he could've pumped it into an x spell

[@dragonair151]

is it 3 or 2? since the card says "that shares a creature type" do they count themselves? regardless he wouldve had A LOT more mana

[@WiLDRAGE777]

@@dragonair151Mana Echoes does count the creature that comes into play since it shares a creature type with itself.

[@wesleyepperson2821]

Also they share Ovika type as well since they are phyrexian goblins. So should have been way more colorless mana than what was being tracked.

[@Reach_W]

To clarify for anyone else, you don't check for each creature type for each creature. You check how many creatures share at least one creature type. If you had four total Goblins, three of which are Phyrexians, you'd add 5 mana when another Phyrexian Goblin enters. The scenario laid out in OP's comment results in 12 mana being generated rather than 9 or 21. Gatherer ruling as citation Mana Echoes counts the number of creatures that share a type, not how many types they share. For example, if a Human Warrior enters while you control two Humans and two other Human Warriors, you'll add five {C} to your mana pool.

[@WiLDRAGE777]

@@Reach_WHe didn't say anything false. He was pointing out that the goblins Ovika made are Phyrexian Goblins and Ovika himself is Phyrexian. So whenever Ovika mades goblins, Mana Echoes will also count Ovika. So the first time he made 3 goblins on the empty board, he would indeed get 12 mana (3x (3 phyerxian goblins + 1 phyrexian nightmare) because each goblin created triggers Mana Echoes and sees all other goblins created at the same time. Edit: re-reading, he did make it sound like you got 9 + 12, so that part would be wrong.

[@Tobi13131]

I'm confused, at roughly 13:20 Deathsprout destroys rhystic study, but doesn't the card you show says it destroys a creature?

[@EDHijinks]

Sure does! I did a cheat. That's how much Rhystic Study annoys me XD

[@DHGcrimson]

lol i love it

[@insainraven9875]

Yeah I’ll accept that because I’d do the same thing if no one would call me out on it

[@Ligh7y]

I really like the special rule, where Rhystic Study is destroyed by whatever destruction spell targets it, even if it would only destroy creatures. It ist a fine homebrew rule I would definitely like to get going on my game nights.

[@elithome9]

Cool idea using the patrons decks was fun to watch

[@cskludt]

That Alex guy, he should like, talk about stuff for a living or something.

[@kfunky209]

That was a FUN game, loved the humble plea and then the hubris from Jim

[@ayblinkn1809]

Mana echoes wasnt used right either. Each gobo sees each other enter, which triggers each time. So 2 gobos, would make 4 colorless

[@KennyDementia]

Got it right eventually, did not impact.

[@y2aalkis606]

Thank you for having my deck, it was great to be here! As others mentioned, there were some misplays which might have resulted in a different outcome. But I hope Jim had fun playing my janky list because that's what I made the Enchantment Goblin for - FUN! 😁

[@mibbzx1493]

Very spicy list jim probably would have decked himself since kindred is ETB and on attacks 🤣 but go out with a bang regardless

[@Shadow298]

Jim's deck going off was amazing. Such fun to watch.

[@monkeysammich]

I need a t-shirt that says "In response: Go off King."

[@justinlarrick1381]

Wild! That turn was amazing to see.

[@ragingmollusk2640]

Engaging merely by pointing out that while Vesuva does copy a land, it also enters tapped.

[@suzukuro4467]

Mayhem Devil was MVP

[@EDHijinks]

It really is my favourite card haha.

[@ingolf82]

9:20 Eilidh might not know this but that was a star wars quote :)

[@ethangreenberger8182]

unsure, but jim probably decked himself when he attacks with the like 50 goblins. with kindred. lol

[@777vid]

I think that Jim wins, bc Eilidh shouldn't have been able to sac her TAPPED treasures at 30:53 . Good Job, Jim 👍

[@Wooter29]

She may have made that treasure a while ago and it could’ve been untapped, someone check

[@Key-ny8ny]

@@Wooter29 you're correct, she had 2 tapped treasures, and 1 untapped.

[@GonzalesHailey]

These are some very cool decks!. Cool idea using the patrons decks was fun to watch.

[@ajaydassani9931]

Those treasures are tapped

[@shaden489]

so worth noting and this is something i find myself forgetting sometimes to when i play with the card but vesuva enters as a tapped copy of the land

[@Whiskyandrock]

I think it's dope that you all decided to play decks built from your patrons

[@dragade101]

Would gladly take an ASMR soft spoken for an entire game.

[@robertmartin5539]

When Olivia tap the mystic Forge She would have lost cause you got pay one life 😂

[@venom289]

Scariest turn with an Izzet deck I've ever seen, making a ton of goblin tokens and potentially burning opponents for a TON of damage! Damn!

[@neuro.bivergent]

This game was wild

[@PhoenixInfeno]

Damn, how many of us would have just given up when Jim went off at the end? But ya'll figured out how to take him out - W I L D

[@matthugenberg8869]

Deathsprout only hits a creature, not a permanent

[@EDHijinks]

Oh man, it annoyed me that much I did a cheat! Whoops!

[@matthugenberg8869]

​@@EDHijinkshahaha it's ok. There are so many BG destroy target nonland permanent, it's so simple to assume they just, all do that. Because why would the one that cost more do less things in 2020 onwards magic? Hahaha

[@nateb.9947]

I can see it being mistaken for "Assassin's Trophy" but oops

[@TMidander]

@@EDHijinks Shit happens :D

[@steveallen590]

I have a livio ikra shadiqui deck that is mainly based around blinking my creatures with a decent amount of token synergies and control with out taxing(like flesh bag maurader) . With a slight amount of life gain synergies that I love and I’m so happy someone is running either of those commanders I’m excited to see this episode:)

[@endroop]

Also Vesuva enters tapped so he wouldn't have been able to pay. So Jim would have drawn an extra card. You know that card would have saved him

[@Chinobobat]

Such a spicy shenanigans episode. I really wanna make Ovika. He seems pretty nuts! Know what I’m about to build him lol thanks Jim!

[@Mad.Edd.702]

The non threat she wanted to kill legit almost napalm the whole field

[@OGDanteZero]

The life totals went out of control this game! No surprise there when Spike Feeders are playing.

[@michaelscarselletta732]

Long time follower first time commenter. Totally enjoyed that crazy game! Thanks for bringing us content like this.

[@MascalchiPlay]

How did Jim win twice in a row and still lose? hahaha loved this gameplay

[@AutkastKain]

I really want to see more of that mono White deck. Seemed really good

[@user-wf6di7di2b]

would not be a hijinks episode without some blatant missplays xD

[@michaelmiller5177]

I love Ovika, I've been building out a deck with her. The play tests, if she gets out, have been awesome. Great turn there.

[@nycstreetpoet]

Did Jim not draw from Kindred Discovery when he attacked? It triggers on “enters the battlefield” and “attacks”

[@EDHijinks]

We missed that! The overwhelming number of goblins had us quaking in our boots!

[@twisted1077]

Jim forgot to draw 27 cards off that attack from Kindred discovery, I think he would've been deck out!

[@kerolokerokerolo]

Jesus christ if this is not one of the biggest sequences/combos I've ever seen in my life, I don't know what it is

[@brandonlopina7733]

That last treasure they used to kill Jim was tapped so it couldn't be sacked. Jim should have won.

[@thedeaderer8791]

Yall should do this again i think it makes for a fun outcome with everyone playong decks they normally wouldnt. And i think its great for the patrons to feel invested

[@maxime669]

Oh boy! Jim just exploded in one turn. That deck is nasty. It came out of nowhere 😮

[@Sucrose_Mother]

Ovika enchantress is an awesome take on the deck

[@NT_Escanor]

I heard living on a chair and assumed that was steamer meme lol

[@thadrin]

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY WYATT. GRATTIS PÅ DIN ETT ÅRSDAG.

[@Jidayun]

Sisyphus's Divining Top.

[@Spinblocker]

great game! your episodes have been amazing lately!

[@lightfut]

The audio so smooth

[@johnfraney4268]

Man ovika is so swell

[@Klaritsa]

Also to know Vesuva enters the battlefield tapped

[@IamJoshEast]

Jim shoulda decked himself I reckon, kindred discovery works on attack too

[@kennethlane7645]

That ovika deck is sick!

[@burningpapersun1]

Not dying to Jim was quite the accomplishment.

[@QjoWilwolf]

Ognis is my favorite legendary creature from last year, and I've been having SO MUCH FUN with her Commander deck ❤️

[@11epicnoob]

As an Ovika player, it's able to be made into a decent twist on UR Spellslinger (It still is spellslinger, but also likes going wide or big)

[@barbaras2675]

Great game, just a bit confused at why sensei's divining top was coming every turn. You need to pay 1 to play it and 1 to activate it so it shouldn't have happened the way it did at least the first turn. Then I guess Olivia would have had mana to activate it but that step did not happen on camera either. Just a note so you guys don't do that mistake in the future. Also deathsprout can´t target rhystic study but I guess that was already mentioned below. Loved Jim playing as always.

[@LouisKing995]

On the first turn all she did was cast it. Second turns she used it before draw and then cast it again.

[@barbaras2675]

Thanks very confusing as editing did not make that clear.

[@DemonaruMusic]

If someone ever tells you they're not doing anything with a MANA ECHOES on the field and a Kindred Discovery to boot? They are either oblivious to what their deck does or they are lying lmao.

[@quayo90]

Olivia, not killing Olivia is the only misplay that needs mentioning. Consider your content engaged 😂

[@dragade101]

@12:57, Deathsprout only does creatures. What made Rhystic Study a creature?

[@EDHijinks]

My inability to read!

[@NearSightedViking]

I missed something, obviously, but how did 3 goblins trigger impact tremors for 81?

[@raouluddin7941]

I am confused. Why could Eilidh’s deathsprout destroy Rhystic study? Doesn’t Deathsprout only destroy creatures?

[@Sassafras1777]

yeah that shouldn't have been able to resolve, it specifically says creature. maybe she confused it for another golgari card that deals with nonland permanents?

[@andrewrockwell1282]

Hubris Love it. Ovika is oppresive on e they get going.

[@JJMickeyMedia]

These are some very cool decks!

[@IamJoshEast]

Marsh flats next to a copy of Yavimaya… “it can’t even tap for mana”

[@goodblokefairly]

Fun one!

[@alij4778]

Loved the ovika deck❤️

[@LucasRoth42]

Wasn't that treasure tapped? The one that Allie used to finish off Jim? I think so!

[@AnonymousMaykr]

08:12 should've chosen Phyrexian for Kindred Discovery, since both Ovika and the goblins are Phyrexian Edit: nevermind, shame on me for commenting too soon

[@pBlackcoat]

I found Ognis in an m30 draft today, and immediately wanted to build a deck around him

[@stratuvarious8547]

Haste is the friends we made along the way.

[@maxtonshaw4785]

I heard bacon on a chair… I’m I just hungry??

[@Twime.]

Hey great game even with some hiccups. Hard to catch everything when your having fun with friends. Is there a primer for the mono white deck? I really like it but browsing through the list I’m having a hard time finding what exactly is it’s payoffs?

[@anthonyacosta4185]

Where did you get the 0 -3 Mana Crypt dice?

[@thadrin]

Let it be known that in the spirit of hijinks, I tonight bought my Bear typal deck a nice new Gamegenic watchtower to live in, together with some nice green dice and my homemade bear tokens. Only problem being they only had black at the LGS, not green. So I need some form of sticker for the box...

[@davidfortier6177]

Jim was robbed 😢😢 with the r study kill

[@Blackadam36]

Ovika was so sick!

[@Flyboy245]

11:56 time is wonky. I just watched the commander at home video with jim and eilidh, but that photo interaction made it seem like it was weeks ago. Magic of editing I guess

[@aeorling]

Wow! That was wild!

[@Agaures]

New episode of EDHijinks! Run and tell everybody!

[@towemtg]

My daughter now calls this the cute baby show lol.

[@EDHijinks]

Heck yes! Hi Towe's daughter! 👋

I had no idea how bonkers ovika was lol

[@Dnarebirth09]

Question! Does Fiery Emancipation and or City on Fire triple the damage from sacrifice damage??

[@ekplayscards]

Hey! Those triplers, in particular, are only for the controller's sake! So all the fun for Jim and none for anyone else.

[@Dnarebirth09]

@@ekplayscards Ah, gotcha! Thank you for the info!

[@obicortes8199]

Olivia do you know where on can get one of those 0 and 3 dice?

[@kiritokitiguya1612]

Vesuva comes in tapped

[@OhSarcasticOne]

10:20 vesuva should have come in tapped giving jim a card

[@stevenscott9470]

Weren't those treasures the got sac'd to ping Jim to death from mayhem devil tapped? If so, they wouldnt be able to be sac'd at all. Preventing the damage to Jim. Meaning Jim should have won the game, but was misplayed to death. 😂
