Zedruu vs Azami vs Atraxa vs Saffi EDH / CMDR game play video for Magic: The Gathering

[@nathanspencer6140]

Learning from your mistakes and becoming a better player as a result is what’s important. It’s easy for others to play armchair quarterback when watching these videos, but too often forget that you have to start somewhere and that getting better is a process, not something that just happens.

[@xcver]

While that may be true, there is basically no excuse to forget Atraxa's Proliferate. It is the sole reason you play this commander as there are 5c Commanders who would be better for superfriends if it weren't for the proliferate. Also if you play dedicated cards such as doubling season you should also know that that doubles the proliferate as well. There were not many permanents on the field.

[@badvoodoo2097]

Always kill the atraxa player first

[@ToxicTravesty]

4th mistake: wasting TWO counterspells on a terminus that affected only your commander

[@nahboi483]

“Don’t swing on my Ugin and I’ll save this.” “Sure, I’ll trust you.” *Kills everyone* “Bro, I trusted you.” “Friends are just opponents you haven’t eliminated yet.”

[@jthrone7768]

Just what my Thursday needed, always nice to see Zedru.

[@kaotixtube]

This was my favorite zedruu game ever. It just looked like every card absolutely belongs in the list and showed why. Really enjoyed it!

[@dustydenny9213]

I love the ever changing intro

[@DarkEinherjar]

Remember, people... mass land destruction as a finisher is no different than winning through a combo. Also, complaining about mass land destruction but not about Muddstah's Decree of Silence + Solemnity lock, which would've also stopped everyone but him from playing the game, is hypocritical.

[@Millionsofpeas]

With Trevor's boardstate they should have conceded with the MLD on the stack though. There is no way to come back from that.

[@orsettomorbido]

I personally would argue that MLD is even worse than a combo, because the game is dragged along for a couple turns after that, in which all the players but one don't play even if they are technically playing.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Considering they lasted four rotations before Ugin's ultimate, if they had drawn lands during those turns and Jace's emblem wasn't there, there would still be hope. Then again, they only lasted four rotations because Trevor forgot about Atraxa's triggers (which would put twice as many counters thanks to Doubling Season).

[@AnonYmous-mc5zx]

MLD is only a problem when its for the sake of giving you time to search for some win con. Its the same as taking infinite turns. Its why whenever it happens in our playgroup the individual doing it usually follows up with how they actually intend to win the game. Like my Taigam deck will often dual cast Expropriate to get 2+ extra turns, wherein I also explain "this is so I can give my creatures 'haste' and swing out" pointing at either a board full of constructs or a board full of their best creatures I confiscated due to the spell...or both. Ive had it happen where a whole table gave me 4 or 5 extra turns instead, at which point I had to waste time setting up the win con the long way via aetherflux reservoir and/or metalurgic summonings.

[@xcver]

@@orsettomorbido depends on the combo I guess :)

[@Scarizard]

I loved this one! I think my friends and I would have probably scooped after the MLD, so y'all are brave for sticking it out. Don't sweat the mistakes - I'm of the mindset that if everyone played perfect magic all the time, we wouldn't get as many great stories (or entertaining videos!)

[@plain6677]

Scarizard couldn’t say it better. EDH is about fun and mistakes!

[@DarkEinherjar]

I had this game when my opponent resolved a MLD when he had Avacyn on his board... unfortunately for him, I had Saffi, Sun Titan and Marty'r Bond on my board and he had no hand, so I was able to survive long enough to go all the way back to eight lands and draw into a combo piece to win the game.

[@EDHCommander99]

That's right. More gameplay. And more epic intros to come. Keep it up!

[@ModelHX]

Atraxa and Doubling Season actually allow you to get 2 counters per endstep. It's victory lapping, but could've ended the game like a turn or two faster.

[@andreasorphanou5469]

That Duck lived the longest I've ever seen a planeswalker do! Impressive!

[@cmdrsausage]

Love your channel and thanks for the video mate! You play for keeps and I greatly admire someone who owns their mistakes. Seriously impressed and loving your work on the intros.

[@zombiesahoy]

The timing of this is perfect. I just finished building Saffi but now I get to compare it to more lists!

[@thecuetobrat7979]

My power might be out because of the hurricane but that can’t stop me from watching a EDH gameplay

[@lepinz1223]

at 9:34 I don't understand why Matt is out of the game... Someone can help me pls ? Thanks in advance ! :)

[@kuro_nogazaki]

lepinz1223 Helm of Obedience mills someone until they hit a creature card or x number of cards determined by how much was paid into activating Helm’s ability. Since Rest In Peace is there, the graveyard basically doesn’t exist and the Helm will mill out the opponent because no cards will be in their graveyard, therefore, the Helm can’t check for any cards in the graveyard to stop milling.

[@lepinz1223]

@@kuro_nogazaki oh ! Thanks for the explanation!

[@seasnek7024]

Again I love this new camera angle. Pls keep it this way!

[@Quroe_]

Okay, this had me laughing pretty hard at times. Such a back and forth game! This was an audience spectacle.

[@CaptCozy]

RETURN OF THE GENERIC GOBLIN NOISE! Long live the generic goblin noise!

[@AffinityForCommander]

Always funny to see people dreading receiving cards from their opponents! Awesome game!

[@DarkEinherjar]

As a Saffi player, I'm a little sad to see Saffi doing nothing... :( Also, I looked at the decklist... where's the Boonweaver Giant? That guy is a must, especially in a deck with Pattern of Rebirth and Gift of Immortality.

[@geekmp3]

This game was great. Also the perfect use of mass land destruction: securing your amazing board state and not stalling out the table.

[@Franco....]

I enjoy a lot see play Trevor. You never know how he going to win. He's game is perfect.

[@taylorwillis8971]

Franco Pablo Trevor’s game was about as perfect as your English. No disrespect to Trevor

[@typoholic]

These certainly play differently than my precons…

[@Devin-oh7gr]

Drink in the goblin noise in all its generic goodness. Unfortunate misplay there towards then end but I’ve done some tunnel vision errors like that before. It both makes me sad and want to laugh.

[@weetswa4550]

Everyone’s talking about the land destruction and the plays, but the real problem is spell crumple still goes on the bottom Matt’s library.

[@BoBnfishy]

that swan token man, that was cold.

[@apock2474]

Only at 3:03 and I can feel that if the obvious replenish/open the vaults resolves, this is going to end so fast.

[@thewaffler43]

Ya'll need an aggro deck in the mix. Without some death early on it just turns into "oh, got all my rocks and 10 lands, counter... counter... counter... counter..."

[@Cole444Train]

Samuel LaGrone it is interesting to see what one aggro player will do to a meta. I have been running aggro lately and it really does force everyone to lower their curve a bit. Plus aggro is fun even if you don’t win. Which you don’t lol

[@thewaffler43]

Right! I mean a kalemne that can hit for lethal on turn 5, or a karlov with the right pieces. Even throw an army deck in there, some tribal that avalanches on itself. With decks like that you are forced to adjust, if you don't have a blocker on turn 4, well, thats 14 commander or 22 total. It's also fun to see the guy in the crystal tower who always wins sit there with his mouth wide open as you killed him before he even started assembling his machine.

[@ЮлианМацкевич]

That was a nice assortment of tech I don't want to see anywhere near my table. I hoped that Matt would at least spite-counter most of it, but it wasn't meant to be

[@joelrecinos1353]

MTG Muddstah, do you have any players that use Boros commanders that can be recorded? I'm really interested to see how well a Boros deck would perform on your channel. GG btw. P.S. The hate for misplays are unreal, people acting like they are perfect Magic players. Funny thing is, they wouldn't say half the stuff they said in public.

[@namename4903]

that was a dope intro, keep up the great work on the vids!

[@mmlgamer]

I know this isn't competitive EDH, but I'm glad this isn't Soccer Mom EDH. MLD and spell-countering engines are legitimate strategies and these decks were obviously closely matched.

[@jamesklingensmith7529]

Summary of this game: "Man, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is a pretty powerful card...maybe if we all ignore him, he'll go away." Yeah, I'd say the big thing that lost you this game was not killing Trevor when you had the chance. It doesn't matter if your two opponents were combo decks seeing as Solemnity + Decree of Silence means that nobody can cast spells anyways, and the answer that you already knew about to any of your combo pieces, Venser, is also shut off by Torpor Orb anyways. Watching you fail to take out the one player who had any chance of answering you and then get summarily punished for it was confusing to say the least, and at that point I think the Catastrophe just let him win more. Can't imagine how much Trevor's eyes must have lit up in person when you declared Matt as the target of the Helm.

[@MTGMuddstah]

Your points are fair and I think I did a good job of at least identifying my mistakes in the Review.

[@92bagder]

I use mass land destruction for political threats, like Brick in Anchorman walking around with a hand grenade

[@ms.sysbit5511]

Good game. Some errors but you’re learning from them which is key.

You could have kept using the helm yo try to get creatures

[@matthewstroud659]

Trevor not only missed his proliferate triggers he must have forgotten he had doubling season out he should have been putting way more loyalty counters on his planeswalkers

[@MTGMuddstah]

Doubling Season doesn't double the counters you'd get from proliferate.

[@Devin-oh7gr]

Yep only the counters they enter with lol.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Actually, it does. Proliferate is an effect that puts counters on permanents, so Doubling Season applies. The only reason DS doesn't work with Planeswalkers' plus abilities is because the counters are put as cost, not effect.

[@Devin-oh7gr]

DarkEinherjar and thats what he was using until he remembered the DS lol

While it really didn't impact the game, why did you steal Matt's Mana Crypt instead of his Sol Ring? They're functionally the same, but you don't have a 50% chance to lose 3 life with Sol Ring.
