Josh: "I wasn't sure who's gonna take it." Omnath: "Am I a joke to you?" It was like 90% Omnath 10% Isshin right from the moment the line up was revealed. Chainer and Svella had no chance in that pod. If Ladee was a bit more aggressive towards Jake she might have won.

[@cyberedgelord2406]

I literally thought the same thing omnath was Farr too powerful in comparison

[@stropes.]

Just depends on the builds, honestly. Chainer has a ton of combos even in monoB and access to all the best tutors to pull them...

[@DenverEight]

I’d argue that all sides were building real threats to the board as the game progressed. Ms Danger was only acting as she did as the aggressive deck that coincidentally pushed each player to Omnath’s range. It just so happens that Omnath slaps on healing, damage ramp and card draw in one giant jelly bean of a package.

I love how Omnath just stood there…menacingly and still won. But yeah jake actually inspired me to make my own a few months ago and I’ve been enjoying the passive silliness. The mutation madness even fits to Jakes love of Digimon and I’m all for it. My favorite alternate to bring people low early is Shaman of Forgotten ways to Biorhythm folks to range for the win.

[@calebsayles]

I love how Jimmy played shadow creatures and horsemanship... like 2 of the iconic ways he has lost in Game Knights. Like his thinking is that's not happening on this show anymore. 🤔

[@TheLycheegreentea]

Seeing how fast these games are going now makes me miss the old days of EDH. I love the efficiency of everybody's deck but I also miss the big splashy spells of the past and the interaction/response to keep each player in check to avoid any one player from getting out of hand.

[@oscarsracso]

This is game knights a show for entertainment. They’re not going to play your typical casual games

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

@@oscarsracso yet I feel being such a popular channel they are also contributing in pushing the idea that this is the "correct" way to approach the game.

[@MonkeyPooFlingers]

Very true, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes to win. That being said i tend to tune whatever deck I'm playing to be efficient at whatever they're trying to do, which leads to faster and faster games.

[@_claymore]

it's definitely become more and more a game of solitaire, rather than Elder Dragon Highlander. it seems every deck is just based around "going off" as fast as possible and leaving behind interaction to have more synergy/combo pieces. Jimmy has ONE instant removal card in Baleful Mastery.. I mean what? sure he has 4 creatures with ETBs that remove something, but that's still only 5 cards total that can interact with problematic pieces. and you have to find them in the 99 in the first place.

[@afspeellijstnaruto]

I kind of miss the times where I played mostly precon, or just shitty designed decks. But my playgroup mostly plays quite the fine-tuned decks nowadays, so I can't really get away with my janky stuff anymore. Now my decent decks cost money :(

[@kuna1482]

I looove these I’m personally not that good at commander but I like watching these ☺️

[@DarkEinherjar]

Jake, thank you for the idea of using mutate to remove legendary from the commander. I'm definitely trying that on my Evelyn, the Covetous deck. 😁 UPDATE: I tried it, but it didn't go well... it turns out that, unlike Omnath, Evelyn needs that vampire subtype when I clone her. 🥲

[@kaduvigatto1372]

Wow, very nice idea!!!!!!

[@JackThrowerofPrinnys]

I do that in my tatsunari deck to get more kemis its fun a fun use for mutate!

[@MrMinger]

I’ve been using it to broken effect in my Vadrok Spell Copy deck. It gets silly

[@nikos731]

It is a well known interaction, mostly for having Kiki-Jiki go infinite on his own.

[@JackThrowerofPrinnys]

@@nikos731 it was an interesting mechanic, i hope it gets more support in the future but im not holding my breath.

[@siradzki5905]

There was not one counterspell, right? Also very little removal in total

[@coreylando6608]

I mean, Omnath was the only one in blue and clearly he didn't need any counters. Lack of any removal for that first cloning of Omnath definitely cost the table though.

[@devistator1349]

All the players made a comment about Omnath’s card draw when he ETB’s, which funny enough is actually intended to be a nerf for him. Since he triggers on landfall, and it’s impossible to interact with playing a land, giving him an etb trigger gives players something to respond too before he starts to drop lands. Not too much of a nerf, they could have given a weaker etb effect than drawing a card, but a nerf nonetheless.

[@JD-wu5pf]

Hard to respond to his ETB trigger when you don't run any interaction and simply let the Omnath player play 4 clone effects unchecked.
