Yidris, Naru Meha, Ruric Thar, Darien - EDH Gameplay #05

[@MTGMuddstah]

I LOVE Manifold Insights.

[@SplitSecond]

The list recommended FoF but Sequeira prefered Manifolds just because he wants to guarantee 3 cards and not cry about bad piles

[@koreyg8552]

That card is trash lol

[@fel_95]

@@koreyg8552 it might not be competitive material, but it's super fun both for political and interaction purposes. Sure, you might get the worst 3 cards of your top 10, but an opponent could also gift you an answer to a problematic board state

[@Leny1777]

Watching this video made me happy. Don't worry Darien I am coming back for the 4th time and this time I am sticking with you only. Not spending thousands of dollars on other cards, only you!

[@andrewburger1019]

Mono white is now a threat? What has this world become?!? Anyways, I’m happy to see that each video is even better than the previous one and that you guys are taking all the constructive criticism, keep up the good work!

[@Leny1777]

White is now a threat in 2020.. There has been a lot of ramp cards that I have seen lately of new releases. I also used to run an explosive Darien deck as well who can easily do over 100 damage to over 3 players..... I once killed 5 people in my playgroup as Darien and I was lucky that the blue players were tapped. You need a lot of stuff like land tax, Nykthos, Mana Vault and Mana Crypt in order to compete. But since the new cards of white say IF an opponent is ahead of you in bs like land you can play lands, and bs shaniragans like that.... So, I laugh when people say that white is the weakest... It is weak with 90% of it's commanders, but it has one of the best voltron commanders aside from my boy Darien!

[@Raiden2105]

Oof what a fantastic chokehold on the game those two planeswalkers provided, can't believe Mono-white wins again!

[@orsettomorbido]

What a great game! I love seeing non-classic decks! Innovaaaaaaation

[@manuelgomez6520]

Hi guys, I'm glad to see all the positive feedback on this video. I subscribed to your channel after seeing the last episode and I have to say this one visually feels more polished. I wish all of you best of luck with this project!

[@SplitSecond]

Thank you for the feedback and sub! :) Yes each video is a new lesson basically :) We're trying to improve as much as we can!

[@Squirrel_eater]

Great episode, I hope that your channel grows quickly

[@SplitSecond]

Thanks a lot hunciak29!

[@TraucerDaUrbania]

Fun pod, Darien is a fun look at mono white

[@BaalRoi]

I do love him, it's a pet deck of mine I built around 10 years ago. It was a themed casual deck by then, but by getting some good staxy pieces in there I do believe it can fair well in the actual meta

[@Leny1777]

Darien laughs at mono red Krenko goblins... Come at me bro!

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Monowhite taking the win? Literally beating everyone at the table? *chef’s kiss* That’s some high level magic.

[@Leny1777]

Another person that's surprise, man! Yall need to calm your titties and stop talking shit about my favorite color...

[@TheCommanderTavern]

@@Leny1777 White is a great color; it's simply statistically an underdog. So I get pumped every time mono-white wins a game of commander.

[@korymov]

DAMN. That recovery from Jokulhaups was pretty.

[@nanoacido5174]

That end was hillarious.

[@jrp7808]

I love my Darien deck that I made a couple years back. His is more powerful than mine, but it was still fun to watch it win!

[@ewalt8549]

"because he's an expert at having no permanents in play" rofl - Way to go Baal

[@BaalRoi]

We woul'd say in portuguese slang "too many years turning chicken" xD

[@Noops_AU]

That was a quick one! Great work on this episode.

[@SplitSecond]

Thank you very much Noops!

[@somefishhere]

Wow. Came here for the ruric gameplay and I love the brews here!

[@SplitSecond]

That's great :) We try to showcase decks that rarely see play in other channels. But eventually we also play the top tier ones. Enjoy your stay :)

[@shazarn1]

I don't know if this bothers other people, but I honestly don't mind misplays. You guys are playing a game, you make mistakes, oh well, it'll still be good fun to watch. Like, if you want to acknowledge the misplay and say, oops we messed this up, cool Great videos either way and love your work!

[@pedrosequeira9829]

It was pretty game-breaking this time around, and it won me round 2. That's why we chose not to publish it, really.

[@shazarn1]

@@pedrosequeira9829 that's totally fair hahaha

[@SplitSecond]

@@shazarn1 We caught him this time >:D

[@shazarn1]

@@SplitSecond Well now i gotta know what it was :P

[@SplitSecond]

@@shazarn1 Sequeira had Yidris' Cascade online. He organized the top and passed to Eduardo, who casts Pull from tomorrow for 4. Sequeira responded with Fury Storm, copying the pull 2x. He then revealed 2 lands and a Mana Drain to counter Eduardo's Pull. In his head (and in ours ingame), he could both counter the Pull AND benefit from copying it, which wasn't the case. He just gets too excited and blinds us.

[@Brushswagg24]

Me and friends did a random commander spin and I got Darien. Can’t wait to build this deck

[@horribleville]

Great video, and what a outcome

[@mathieudewulf8607]

Just discovered this channel today, really enjoy the simple but clear way these matches are brought. Back to basics 😛😅

[@SplitSecond]

We're glad you like it! :) thank you for the feedback!

[@yoshisalaverry5502]

Ahhhhh! So hyped! Keep up the awesome work, guys!

[@dustingreen2254]

Hey dude. Love ur commentary. Subbed.

[@flaviomargato5553]

Mono white ftw! You go Baal!

[@HelenoPaiva]

Great video. I enjoyed it very much. I play Naru meha, and my son is named Eduardo. Sweet coincidence.

[@SplitSecond]

Hahaha awesome coincidence indeed! :) Thank you! ^^

[@stanleyma2092]

great video, never thought i would like mono-white until now. keep up the good stuff :) could you please explain how the blasting station + anointed procession + soulsisters work? dont need to understand the explanation written in tappedout.

[@BaalRoi]

Thank you for the feedback! :) Well, when you sac a creature and ping yourself, Darien will trigger and create a token, because Anointed Procession is on the battlefield it will create 2 tokens instead, this way, you'll have 2 triggers to untap Blasting Station, when the first one resolves and untaps, you hold priority with the second one still on the stack, and sac 1 of 2 newly created tokens, to ping an opponent, then the second untap trigger resolves, and you untap Station, and sac the second newly created token to ping yourself, this way you create another 2 tokens, and keep going. With 1 sister on the battlefield, you won't lose life because all of your 1 pings to yourself generate 2 HP from the two tokens, so you go infinite HP infinite tokens and infinite DMG sacing the tokens. I never pulled it off, but I like the idea anyway so I kept it since the casual list xD and on their own, each card there is a good card in the deck, (maybe not so much the Procession since it's a 4cmc enchantment that doesnt bring much right away.

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

So what you're saying is all white needs to be good is a gruul deck to trigger its abilities for it! I wonder if maro would be willing to add that to white's slice of the color pie.

[@SplitSecond]

We actually thought beforehand that the gameplay would be quite interesting, mostly thinking Naru Meha/Yidris could stop either Darien or Ruric Thar from going faster than them, but it wasn't the case. So yea, it might end up seeming like it was an expected outcome, video 2 that didn't come to light due to a mistake, it had quite a different outcome, and neither Darien nor Ruric Thar were able to prevent the other player from wining. But Darien has it's own ways of dealing damage to himself, and hopefully you'll see that on a future video, as this deck is a favourite of Baal!

[@edgarmarques4646]

Alright I need to confirm because those pronunciations of the names are way to perfect, are you guys Portuguese and if so, where from? (No need to answer the last one if you don't wish too)

[@SplitSecond]

Thank you for the feedback :) We're from Porto, north of Portugal. Pedro speaks english since he was quite young, and since we don't Dub movies/series etc, here in Portugal, we have access to the spoken language since forever xD That helps with accent although sometimes we might fail one word or another but then we'll try to correct it :)

[@edgarmarques4646]

@@SplitSecond then I can only say two words: Portugal Caralho!

[@stevenguitink5947]

Okay, I gotta ask. What is the name of the song you're playing in the background? I know its from Bensound, but any ideas on the specific song?

[@SplitSecond]

It's this one www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/summer-chill-relaxed-tropical?fbclid=IwAR07C50jPOdmUenTMz-8m2cdj2a3I0tiJl5cZJ3UykPSey8TAuCLSrNpzAM

[@masonschmidt8336]

I came for naru meha but am glad I stayed for mono white

[@rexone9564]

Now I want to know what the missplay was that a level 3 couldn’t fix

[@SplitSecond]

Eduardo had casted a pull from tomorrow and Sequeira got so excited that he knew the top cards of his library with Sensei top, so he used Fury storm on Pull cascading into mana drain, and then said he'd order it in a way he would counter Mana drain and have 2 copies of Pull from the storm. Something quite impossible to do, the only possibilities would be, either countering and then Fury storm would fizzle, and he would have 6 Gen mana next turn from drain, or deciding not to cast Drain when it was cascaded unto it, and having 2 copies of pull, and draw 8 cards. The way it was mistakenly resolved, he countered it, drew 8 cards and had 6 gen mana the next turn.

[@rexone9564]

The fury would have to target pull for each one right?

[@SplitSecond]

@@rexone9564 Fury was targetting Pull, but then on cast cascade triggers, and revealed Mana drain that must resolve first, while Sequeira thought he could order those in order to copy first and counter after, but it's a trigger on cast so he couldn't

[@justnoob7347]

That hand of Naru...no interection...no ramp...only too...ez mulligan?

[@SplitSecond]

Welp, he did say in the match he was going to get chastised for the keep :P

[@kr_eddie9743]

Luis Eduardo here. It wasn't a particularly fast table, I didn't need much interaction. Besides, a good bluff keeps players in check just as well, as we can see in this game :) I stand by my keep. It had a wincon, ways to dig and enough lands to play draw-go. I preferred that instead of going to 6.

[@justnoob7347]

KR_Eddie I got it somehow...thanks for the reply! Keep it going!

[@kingginger3335]

Does Baal have the creatures like Healer of the Pride in the deck? If not then he needs to add all of them. That is the way to break Darien.

[@BaalRoi]

I used to have, when the list was a little bit more casual. Used to run Soul's attendant, Soul warden, Healer of the pride and the new enchantment Ajani's Favor, now I tried to build it more resilient to the fast decks and put some more Glowrider effects, so I took out Ajani's favor, and took healer of the pride because of 4cmc and took out Soul's attendant for Auriok Champion, which can block najeela for days :) you can see my current decklist here: tinyurl.com/tyo9djv (WiP)
