[@joshuajohnson2532]

Loving the face cams! Adds even more personality to a group of folks who already brought a ton of personality! Keep it going!

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Thanks!!

[@wabbab]

I like them but they were going a bit too fast for me, the cuts really speed up the feel of the game and I felt like I was getting whiplash at some points I think they would be good overall and I appreciate them taking the time to try it, I feel like they're either needs to be fewer shots or we need to sit on them longer

[@Jugglerman]

Yea the face cams are great!

[@martenyus]

@@PlaytoWinMTG overall the camera quality went up! Really nice progress. I just have one thing to point out that you may consider. I thing it would be more natural to rotate table camera 180° so that the face camera is sitting on left side of the table. Just feels more natural to have thing go from left to right, same as reading and stuff. But thats only my opinion. Keep up the great work.

[@Dragonmage28]

Here to champion the addition of face cameras, but also to boost tthe above statement. The players in the “top quadrants” of the over head shot should be Camera Left (left side of the frame) when we see players faces. Love the show and am so excited to see more videos! Go Cam !

[@TheTinmanstudios]

Y'all continue to set the gold standard for cEDH content.

[@exsnypre]

I'd arguably say the gold standard for EDH content. Super easy to follow, minimal background noise, some, but not an excessive amount, of table talk, quick pace. Everything I want in EDH content. Top notch every week.

[@matiasrochaix2234]

I think that what gave Tyler the edge was that he understood they were playing regular commander once the combos were hindered.

[@DabbleDo]

Missing lethal combat damage looking for a combo is a very commander play 😅

[@GoblinmasterYT]

Mox diamond is no longer an etb trigger, this was changed shortly after it was released. If you see the FTV version it has the proper oracle text printed

[@dancer6452]

Respect to the additional editing for the face cam angles, kudo to all the thought and effort that goes into every video you put out. your editor(s) along with yourselves keep the quality high and enjoyable without fail

[@vinkelsier116]

Blocking 2 goblins is never a spite play there, surely. Optimal play is always to block and then let attacker (and other players) decide if they want to do anything with priority before passing.

[@Demon_of_Razgriz]

alright, yes, Elesh Norn doubles all ETB triggers. You ended up naming the incorrect mana rock, Mox Diamond is not an ETB trigger as it says "as it enters." Chrome Mox on the other hand, Imprinting is an ETB trigger, so you can double Imprint on the Chrome Mox if you wish. EDIT: you guys did end up naming Chrome Mox for this point almost immediately after.

[@TheTLProductions12]

I had to look up the oracle text and you are absolutely right. Just a matter of reading the card sadly not explaining the card.

[@7crabsinawig463]

@@TheTLProductions12it’s one of those old artifacts that had to be erratad after a rules change, if I remember right you used to not be able to respond to etb effects so they changed it to a replacement effect for entering

[@andreazampollo6726]

@@7crabsinawig463 you’re right. It would have been an expensive lotus petal otherwise😂

[@7crabsinawig463]

@@andreazampollo6726 I can only imagine how expensive it would have been if it wasn’t erratad

[@Player_not_found]

Mox Diamond's not an ETB, not if you look at the Oracle text instead of the wording on the original Stronghold edition...

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Shit. You are right. Good catch. WHOOPS

[@nicholasbowdler9447]

Love how personal the face cams make the game feel. When you all were cheering on Christian when he was going off with Sun Titan was a good example of that. Also Tyler looking good with da collared shirt 👌

[@colinbrown5646]

Mox Diamond at 7:03 Actually is not a Triggered Ability. Its a replacement effect for when it enters. If Mox Diamond was a triggered ability, you could always tap it before it sacrificed itself to get mana and basically treat it like a Lotus Petal.

[@harleywilliams1821]

Wasn't expecting face came footage. Great surprise. Can't wait to see more from you guys

[@TheByesRegret]

Loving the face cams! I love that even after 3 years your videos just continue to get better and better with each passing week!

[@MageSkeleton]

i'm so glad you guys do the little interview segments where you go over thoughts and potentials that should had been and acknowledge when something happens, in this case, the loss of the "Rumor Gatherer."

[@puebloescobar7382]

By no means did this feel like an CEDH game. This very casual from beginning to end. Seeing so many Sun Titan triggers gave me 2017 feelings all over again.

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

I can see that

[@xOptoger]

That's what Stax does to a game

[@ThatBeardedGuy0103]

such an awesome episode, I love the effort put into these videos and the reflection/commentary correcting your mistakes and explaining plays.

[@awesom0ne]

Love you guys, keep up the great work. My pod's busy with life so I get my mtg itch scratched through these vids even though I've only played cedh once with a borrowed deck.

[@bd6028]

Even if these aren't the strongest cedh commanders ever, this was a pretty cool episode! I do think there's some missed potential with Kethek, Crucible Goliath, that might be worth looking into!

[@ghost64626]

Man the look on Tyler's face when Christian dropped that Sun Titan lol

[@Connor-iu5wk]

Man, I hadn’t watched in a bit and I thought the quality was top notch like a year ago. You all are doing incredible stuff.

[@kellyperry5009]

Love the new editing style for this video! The best part of Sundays 🤘🤘

[@chrisgoertzen3001]

Love the face cams, its great to see you guys keep increasing your production value!

[@CensoredHarbor]

Love these videos boys, thanks for the great content

[@connorbell5340]

I hope theres a bit more of these commanders to see. Feel like we didn't see enough here, but I mean. I'd say that if we got 10 videos a week.

[@ethanstates884]

Good game fellas. Love the back and forth of seeing faces and real time reactions.

[@PhantomRXY]

Fun video! Thanks for the constant uploads

[@rinan5317]

Love the new face-cams. I never knew I wanted it as a part of the video. Also nice touch on the mics. Now it all makes sense how Tyler can talk this very calm voice.

[@jasonlevesque6340]

I loved watching you guys play high powered magic. This is much more similar to how my friends and I play.

[@PubStompMTG]

Good game! I plan to make Atraxa food chain because it seems fun! Also, it seems like this set isn't too much of a cedh set. Also, side note: I love the Lock mask on the door from Nightmare before Christmas!

[@hawkicelol]

cant wait to see ovika on the database now. much powerful. very wow.

[@vilestride335]

Yo, the camera angles are suuuch a welcome improvement. Always on the up and up. love to see it. An idea I've always wanted to see on commander gameplay content is hand cameras or sidebars of some kind, showing the cards in a players hand during their turn. No idea how you would implement this, but this could be something you do that no other content does :)

[@TCG9777]

Was scrolling through my feed while watching this and saw a video talking about why casual staples suck. Sun Daddy of all cards was in the thumbnail and when I saw your friend drop his, I felt a wave of relief lol

[@papaflowers5726]

FACE CAMERONS! Guys this is a game changer. Lol Jokes aside this makes the channel that much better.

[@dancer6452]

Put that into my hole was the single best line in this video

[@spencerghattas8185]

Love the face cams. Adds personality to your already personality filled pod and it wasn’t distracting or over the top

[@SpicyPlay]

Diggin the new cameras. nice way to subtly up production value on an already great show.

[@oscarperezcame]

I really like that now you have cams face you... it's always funny to watch the faces while you play

[@aalagerwaard]

Cam random thoughts at the end really made this video for me

[@davidpipes6805]

The new things y’all are trying are super cool!

[@cowonavuwus8758]

I really enjoyed this game, even though it did feel more like high power EDH than cEDH. Personnally, i found it still as much interesting to watch, seeing new cards and seeing your take on the new commanders. Maybe i came for cEDH and stayed for the host 🤷‍♂🤔👀

[@gobenku1464]

I'm a huge fan of the new cameras! The gameplay looks great, and I've genuinely always had a curiosity about what kind of face to put to Tyler's voice lol I don't know if he'd shown up in any shots before or not, but it's cool to see you all playing like this.

[@joestaks9395]

Mox diamond does not have a triggered ability. So it does not have an interaction with Elesh.

[@ricardobelcredi9557]

you absolute monsters, giving a man a stax deck for his first cEDH game p.s, face cams are dope

[@jo_26]

awesome content. right to the point!

[@jadigennaro]

Lure! Yasssss! First MtG deck ever was Llanowar Elves, Lure, Cockatrice, Thicket Basilisk, Regeneration, and Venom. Probably some Circles of Protection for my buddies, too, as we only played mono decks back then.

[@LoreExplore369]

I absolutely love my Glissa infect deck! Wouldn't trade it for the world! Great vid!

[@hellvast1]

17:37 Im glad you guys finally came around to "blocking in lethal combat ISNT a spite play"

[@daguynexdoor]

I love the added cameras! I would elevate their heights if you can to get some better shots of you however.

[@RubertoPaulo]

Really like the new set up. The game was also very interesting. My play group is overselling the new Elesh and I am convinced it’s going to be a pretty meh deck. This was a good showing of it though! 🎉

[@wirakirros7281]

Probably Elesh is quite strong. The matchup here is horrible. Double Glissa are too much for Elesh player to handle. Deathtouch, destroy enchantment. The nightmare just doesn't stop.

[@maxpotter9363]

Cam: "I need to get in..." *looks around the board* ... "Fuck" Comedy gold. This was in no way a 'normal' CEDH game but it was super entertaining regardless. You guys rule.

[@bensteinhauser784]

Great video! The sudden cuts to face cams made me feel a bit woozy after a while. It might be the sudden shift in brightness between the play mats and the white walls? I've never had this issue with the asides you guys do to explain/comment on things (like at 2:11). Also, Mox Diamond was changed so it is not an ETB.

[@MrTheblackdark]

Hello guys! Great video again, it’s a pleasure to see you every week. Can i purpose to make a primer on moxfield deck to explain combo/synergies/wincons and interaction about the deck. Sometimes it’s hard to follow your way of thinking. Thanks again. Have fun!!

[@toctheyounger]

Yeah the face cams are a great add guys. Good stuff as always.

[@TripsAhoy]

This was a weird one. Would like to see another game with this pod. Like to see what could happen if someone tries to combo off.

[@jayliohd6280]

Hi Dylan and Cam, I love the content. I don't know if you considered all the new legends but next phyrexia all will be one gameplay I would love to see Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant as a commander. I would love to see a cEDH spin on this deck because I think it has a lot of potential. Im brewing it myself and I think there's a lot you can do with it

[@Nerowod]

Very interesting video indeed good to see how these decks could perform! Hey Dylan, Random question but where did you get those shirts they are awesome !

[@-Hirotaro-]

Nice mask on the door, Mr Jack style 💀 Thanks for your videos 🤘🏻

[@Jormungadr]

The production is amazing

[@a_level_70_elite_raccoon]

Holy crap face cams!. That was a nice addition. What a messy, crazy game. Hard cast Daze **and** a hard cast Mental Mistep? That was nuts.

[@inverselight1373]

Well played game on everyone's part. I do want to add please don't give up on Atraxa being a good cedh food chain outlet. I know that 4C-Omnath/First Sliver are good for their colors (Dockside loops, Breach lines...) but I believe that there is a list that can work. I may not be the best player or deck designer but I imagine that there may be some Food Chain Stax list that could do well.

[@logansanchez7998]

Love the nightmare before Christmas mask in the background, only made me jump slightly

[@matthewmartin9983]

I don't know why, but the way Dylan just sort of tippy taps the marsh flats to the graveyard at 1:40 really made me laugh🤣

[@salchi-papa]

These face cams freaking rock. Literally my fave mtg channel.

[@nathanstruble8587]

Whoa new camera view just drop? Very dope

[@razorskatermax35]

new camera angle is great ty for ur faces

[@tehfurbolg4960]

Ooh, the new cameras are really cool!

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Thanks!!

[@Armageddone12]

Glad to see some Glissa. Definitely underrated!

[@Highwang]

Look at these guys getting super dynamic with their production now. On an aside, what's that mask hanging on the door? It seems super familiar but i'm blanking on it.

[@Xeno-MTG]

Atraxa being such a prime beater has been relevant on a couple occasions for me :)

[@middknight5202]

Love the game! Haven't seen new cedh commanders yet! One thing that white background light is BLINDING! DX Great video otherwise!

[@frankdetank9126]

I am building a Elesh Norn deck and I'm excited to see an optimized decklist. Also, the new camera angle is a nice addition. By the way, have you considered making a best enchantress deck in cEDH video?

[@jmarksthespot]

That just sounds like a 4 hour long “best stax commander in cEDH”

[@ArmorBreaker88]

I got so confused by the mask / head hanging on the door when it first showed up. Had to rewind to realize

[@helloman5232]

I think this is a great example of playing to win ;) without needing to be class S hyper cedh. It may not be "cedh" but it is more interesting to me.

[@Oneslicknick]

Love seeing y’all beautiful human faces. 😂 and the tune at the end. Awesome game guys but i refuse to believe ovica is best new Commander. Run that back.

[@gabrielpinatecaballero1666]

I think glissa could be a nice addition to some staxish beatdown deck .. also cool interaction with mystic remora lol

[@nicholashewitt9781]

Id love to see a rematch with these decks!

[@ljlk8583]

I find it REALLY funny that dylan exiles an elvish spirit guide to hardcast force of negation exiling a green card instead of a blue card, hell yeah!

[@SamuelKacerik]

Hi there. I love your content, your energy and your chemistry. Also I don't want to be THAT guy but for me the face cams were a bit distracting but from what I see in the comments, people are loving them so it must be a good move. On the other hand I am sure I can get used to them and it's really cool I can see who is playing especially when you bring in new guests.

[@albertovenerus2834]

Love the new cams! Now it will be possible see Cam face while he realize a miss play of his own (jk luv u all) 😂😂❤️

[@timtauber5557]

I liked occasionally seeing you guys seated at the table. It was a nice touch. I feel like you guys loosened up your game play quite a bit as if you were playing a casual game. I think this was due to the sub par commanders. I think the new guy did pretty good for a first commander game. Was a fun show.

[@elonaswrath]

I think someone else put it in here but mox diamond is an if it would enter the battlefield effect not a when it enters the battlefield effect so new norn doesn’t have any effect on the trigger. also your reading of chrome mox is accurate as it is a may ability

[@phillipspeers9140]

30 seconds in and my man Cam says cast a flint horn elf. Love his pronunciation of cards😂

[@wyatt5450]

Need a discord drop for this channel boys! Always love watching these games and enjoy the patron content

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

We give out our discard on patreon !

[@patcharamitanee5645]

WOww new Camera view Double like for that !!

[@Zelphiez]

Another GREAT episode guys. Christian was awesome and obviously the rest of the crew was as always. This episode felt more personal because of the face cams which was super cool

[@dantebeleren]

FOR THE ALOGORITHM!! But also, not how I expected the game to turn out. Stax effects can do that though.

[@matthugenberg8869]

Mox diamond is an "as", which means it doesn't get affected by elesh norn.

[@Gamepro32]

I feel like on one of the turns that Cam drew with Glissa he probably should have just used her last ability to target and kill the phantasmal image.

[@alisonflannery6523]

would have loved to see vishgraz, the doomhive - nimdeath mantle auristicrates

[@hesnotbad9045]

The panharmonicon ability doesn’t affect mox diamond because it’s a replacement effect not an ETB

[@thuggishcone1392]

At 12mins when the On Thin Ice was destroyed Cams Glissa should of returned to play from the command zone. This is because exile effects worded like On Thin Ice keep track of where the card it exiles goes and will attempt to pull it back when it is removed. Notably this does not work for exile effects worded like fiend hunter where the return is a new trigger. It also does not work if the commander gets recast before the enchantment is removed cause then the game treats it as a new object.

[@videowiz22]

definitely love the new style, only thing i would say is to adjust the lighting for the face cams cause its a little washed out. that being said this game was pretty awesome

[@mikeb.1475]

Christian had missed the opportunity to say, “Let’s being out Elesh Mommy.”

[@ShadoryKaine]

haven't seen ya'll in awhile but glad to see face cams! however... why is Dylan wearing headphones LOL waddyu listening to, my dude hahah

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

The audio. Like our microphones

[@ShadoryKaine]

@@PlaytoWinMTG aah, just monitoring the mics icic

[@s4ad0wpi]

7:00 (ish) I think you're wrong. Mox Diamond is a replacement effect when it WOULD enter, NOT a trigger when it DOES enter. So Christian should only discard 1 land, not 2. I'm not a judge, but I'm 90% sure that's how that works

[@mtgtinfoilthaumaturge1102]

I’m actually building my girlfriend an unctus deck. I think it’s the best deck for cedh in the set tbh. It might be the mono blue king now. Tutoring for aphetto alchemist or pili-pala isn’t impossible in mono blue. :3. Also gonna be playing the shrieking drake and defiler of dreams line in their. The pili pala line leaves the mana open for thassa’s Oracle and puts combo protection in your hand like pact of negation and force of will and such. It might be better than urza for mono blue builds tbh. High tide in this deck feels nice.

[@ChrisLovesComics]

Great games boys! Diverse decks

[@togethergutlesss]

I wonder if the red white Phoenix from this sets commander deck could be good in cedh seems aggressive and hard to keep down but not sure if its fast enough.

[@GamerdevilPro]

Glissa actually kinda surprised me positively! Elesh Norn is a strong effect if she can hit the board early enough and doesn't eat removal, maybe she's good enough (whether in the 99 or as commander) but I'm not sold on it, 5 mana is a lot

[@jonathandoherty9082]

This was the most casual game I've seen on this channel haha
