Great game. Cam in that game reminds me of Charlie and the chocolate factory. Make it all the way through and then get told, "You get NOTHING, you lose!" at the end.

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

That’s exactly it

[@bhuddy]

I loved the facecam, to see that grin on Dylan face while he holds the channel land was very much worth it

[@anthonybuck4864]

I'd love to see more games with these 3 color decks, that was a great game!!

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Happy to hear!

[@Highwang]

Tragic that we didn't get to see Tivit pop off but damn was Cam's struggle one for the ages.

[@TheWaffleDad]

That Rocco win was so fast, and right after everyone spent their interaction on Kess. Well played!

[@gheredin4074]

That's what rocco does best! Either win t2/3 or steal it.

[@AndrewWoodford]

That’s a Win After Win

[@StackedEDH]

Nothing like a good ol' Win After!

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Win after is my favorite time to win

[@josephahrens862]

Bro mad respect to our camjam he fought like hell and played that incredibly but dylan is playing bloodpod which he knows very well

[@Amanofcultrue]

Such a great game love the new camera work! 1:07

[@titak7755]

After you guys talked about Rocco on one of the podcast episodes and said "He makes every creature in your deck a companion" I have seriously re-evaluated him. He is like Green Sun's Zenith, or Chord of Calling, except a lot easier to return to hand and re-use. Great game!

[@Zelphiez]

Just gotta say since you guys upped the production quality your episodes just keep getting better and better with each release this episode was a treat. Also, WHEN DID YOU GUYS START SELLING TYE DYE SHIRTS?! I NEED ONE!

[@velocevisrin5060]

Man I love Tivit such a powerful deck, no wonder Tyler is playing it but he got completely shafted 🤣

[@Baltharus]

I main Tivit and want to see MORE of him on here!

[@frankdetank9126]

Oh... my... goodness! That was a fun video. Have you considered making a best enchantress deck in cEDH video?

[@Minedeleis]

You can feel Tyler's "you're a shithead" coming from the depths of his soul, he puts his whole heart in that sentence lmao

[@brianknowles3980]

Name singing hits so hard. Great job, gang! Sometimes you don’t get there, but great effort.

[@FecklessSpoon]

i didn't realize rocco puts the creature onto the battlefield! I thought it was just to hand. I think i just found my new cedh commander!

[@jokersjacket3174]

Love it yall!!! That "WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING" deck is pretty sweet tbh. Looks like a lot of fun to pilot.

[@jonnybirch2268]

That was a fantastic game, thanks guys!

[@dantebeleren]

You guys talked about Tale's End not being very notable in your Counters episode, but for the combination of stopping Channel effects AND Legends... maybe it's worth reconsideration?

[@skyguytomas9615]

Begs the question of versitility over efficiency when compared to stifle. Also, is Tales End better than Defabricate? Feels like a meta call. The fact that Defab puts countered targets in exile ain't nothing.

[@thedoctor1471]

@@skyguytomas9615 Tale's end allows you to counter legendary stuff, which in commander is ALWAYS relevant. Being able to counter thOracle, Boseiju or najeela with a single card is a good thing imho. But tbh I also play trickbind, because letting a forbidden tutor resolve and then countering the trigger of thOracle has become my guilty pleasure.

[@jgiraffe3192]

Glad to see the neon sign playmat is for sale. Such a sick design.

[@joshpurvis6561]

Love that both my cedh commanders made it into this Rocco and tivit 😎😎😎

[@jeffreysmall1087]

I would love to see you guys brew a Volrath the shapestealer deck. He is super fun and I think it would be cool to see what you can do.

[@shattergangedh]

Super fun game to watch!

[@GOOMBAHx]

Probably one of the best games you’ve guys have played. So great!!

[@aninnocentbystander119]

This is a small thing, but I heavily question the jeweled lotus in a Kess deck. You don’t need to power your commander out, and due to her cost, it can only pay for 2 pips. It has little other synergy. You’re generally casting Kess after a failed win attempt, and by then you have the mana anyway. Channel is, in my opinion, a powerful addition to cEDH. A card that is both a pseudo-uncounterable piece of interaction and a land is insane flexibility.

[@raedien]

It's a ritual that costs 0 off Ad Naus.

[@aninnocentbystander119]

@@raedien Except that mana can only be used to cast Kess, and you still need a minimum of 2 mana of two other colors to even use it. More mana if you, somehow, have commander tax. In my opinion, it would be better to have more protection or interaction in that slot. Probably a 1 mana counterspell.

[@raedien]

@An Innocent Bystander it's also +1 Storm Count for 0 mana. I'm not saying it's the best use of the slot but it's inclusion is not a surprise alongside Ad Naus.

[@iansamuel1811]

@@aninnocentbystander119 what is kess dies? and 2 mana is enough. you're trippin, but do you

[@markrosiuslumabas5362]

That was a really amazing game!

[@erickcarjes2738]

I'll always watch until the very end just to listen to this great song!

[@benjaminking3677]

Cam could not catch a break in that big turn. Good game though

[@BuleGamer96]

WOW amazing turn of cam

[@iclimbeverything2990]

That game was freaking sick! The LED Underworld Brain Freeze combo is amazing

[@timtauber5557]

Great game, tons of interaction, very representative of a Cedh game.

[@ricardoalves1642]

nice! i shine babyjeebuz appeared!

[@MrMegakiller912]

raffine would be worth looking into!

[@Theycallmelilmike]

My favorite 3 color is Korvold, I run a weird treasure focused build that can pull out the win on turn 4 if I’m lucky, it’s just tough in the counter wars since yknow… no blue

[@DexterityYTC]

I was scared Cam was actually going to win there for a second, which we all know is impossible.

[@Flip4Crypt]

That game was fucking awesome- the intro was really cool I love huge stacks and that was crazy as hell Such a fast and intense game! Shouts out to the 420 Billion treasures hahah Also "can you smell what the Rocc is cookin"?? This episode has it all!

[@Varler_]

That was insane that you couldn't win even with all that interaction and backup plans. Everyone was packing too much heat!

[@a_level_70_elite_raccoon]

Ayyyy, Nate had a turn 1 play! Several, in fact!.

[@cheeveka3]

That Greenguy seems like he has been been supporting your guys forever 🤣

[@1-trick]

the hat is sick i'll have to get one.

[@heirkaiba]

Cam was cooking but he forgot there was three other Entree’s.

[@iansamuel1811]

ugh... it's times like these that i need to remind myself not to betray the pact of the Rocco society's top secret tech

Can you say it here where we are safe?

[@justinginnett7159]

I love this channel

[@caspergarner]

rocco was my first cedh deck and it led me to win my first ever games in the format

[@eucoliptus]

Never thought I'd be rooting for the Kess deck to win, but he was really channeling Rocky fighting all that interaction lol

[@307butters]

Would lo d to see more Tivit games.

[@patcharamitanee5645]

Move To try out this kess deck its so cool

[@GrandPrimus]

Need some Dihada love. ;)

[@user-fh3qp6ul5k]

hold on. quick question: force of negation needs a blue card (like FoW) so how did you exactly exile demonic tutor for it?

[@orinmatthew]

Question. Have yall ever made narset, enlightened master cedh? Brother is trying to build it. Just curious.

[@maximeyer3151]

I love these theme games

[@MageSkeleton]

wonder if Korvold or Prossh can get in on the next three color commander action. Maybe even do an episode where every deck is a food chain deck. That would be neat.

[@mimic_ssb]

:))) this was fun

[@kennethritacco6959]

Dylan playing Rocco makes my heart complete

[@hesnotbad9045]

6 pieces of interaction and two stax pieces. You really had to massacre my girl like that

[@ronin5802]

10:10 Nate likes cats :)

[@kamilwhaley-kalaora4839]

What do you guys think abou jorn as a three colour stax commander?

[@Death_by_Tech]

After all these years, to hear Cam still get that excited before casting Ad Naus is really heartwarming

[@ethanstates884]

Lol good game fellas. It was funny to watch Cameron just almost get there, and Dylan was still no! Not today!

[@rinan5317]

Can we just appreciate the pregame Gemstone Caverns exiling Squee? Also, amazing game.

[@jamallynch1218]

Can we get that purple play to win hoodie

[@autin2343]

I miss seeing 2 games a week from you guys 😭

[@khazixthevoidreaver9499]

omg it's him!

[@toctheyounger]

In response to the win someone said I like cats. Totally agree. Cats are awesome.

[@josephahrens862]

Hey Dylan would you say bloodpod is the deck you are most comfortable with on this channel because you seem to play it ALOT

[@ZypherWildfire]

With the Channel abilities inside the meta now, is it worth it to start playing Stifle once again?

[@Lilfluffygoofball87]

New Rocco episode let’s gooooo

[@matiasrochaix2234]

Baby Jeebus is so cool.

[@ShadowWasntHere8433]

I wish I could win with Rocco like this

[@LoboGuarah]

Cameron. I just wanna give you a Hug, my dude.

[@TrixerFerKids]

Channel lands doing some heavy lifting this game.

[@danielchausse6988]

Dylan going "aw man just couldn't get around that Boseiju" like he was sorry for Cam at the end when you know he's just so happy he got to stop him at the most critical time 🤣

[@gheredin4074]

Tbh cam getting to try his combo by otawara and then ending with boseju was kinda cathartic

[@harrisoneuler8187]

Tyler got stiffed by that archon hahahaha

[@SweetManaT]

How does one go about getting your tie dye shirts with the original logo?

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

On our bonfire store along with all our other shirt merch

[@SweetManaT]

@@PlaytoWinMTG I only saw the plain solid color shirts, not the tie dye. I’ll take another look though!

[@SweetManaT]

@@PlaytoWinMTG I found it!

[@noesunyoutuber7680]

Casual player here: I've never faced Elsha or Rocco, but both Kess and Tivit have destroyed me in different circumstances. Tivit + blink effects is just brutal (meanwhile Kess was just a Demonic-Thoracle deck while my primary deck had no stack interaction due to being G/B).

[@VailonofDespair]

i wanna know where Dylan got the Eren Yeager shirt O_O

[@nicholasbowdler9447]

Dylan with the big brain Squee pre-game (Squee-game?)

[@darbymckilkannoncaid3279]

oh that's what nate looks like!!!

[@JustRightPinedo]

8:06, unlucky and I'm not clear how much mana you had up, but if you had enough to cast Kess and still had at least UUB then could you have just nammed Thorracle there? Ostensibly your opponents used all their counter magic stopping Dark ritual. Also in any case, with Breach out, couldn't you still cast Dark ritual etc. from the yard when Boseiju trigger was on the stack? Insane turn nonetheless.

[@mitsosoftheelves]

Was this the first time we saw Nate?

[@Vagrantlol]

man i hate being the person to go off first at a table full of interactive decks like this lol poor Cam, dude really did his best.

[@samuelcunningham4526]

Kess Gang, good game

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

KESS

[@samuelmckinney4984]

I think with the "Channel" lands making the list[s], shouldn't "Stifle" and/or "Tale's End" make the cuts? They can even stop Dockside ETB's as well. You guys have the potential to influence the format by including these effects to showcase their abilities to back up "Underworld Breach" lines and even give us some numbers/statistics to see if they (Stifle affects) actually do the work or are even worth it. Love you guys and all the work you've been doing, been watching you all since your 2nd video and am always hungry for more.

[@last7116]

Defabricate also worth a look

[@Briells]

Haven't watched yet but the answer is Elsha 🤠

[@PlaytoWinMTG]

Good call

[@erickcarjes2738]

Not this time
