[@paulfrie3261]

To be fair, Josh kills half of himself a lot due to fetch land and tomb. And the 2/1 unblockable went a couple times his way. Josh plays risky a lot which is fun to watch (like how he self milled himself A LOT; which jimmy won by finishing by milling the last of the library)

Make the two tokens and play the creature than give everyone a +1/+1 counter therefore adding 3 counter to the play. Josh failed to be a big brain player

Yup. Could have killed him and left back blockers for the rest. Surprised he didn't make that decision, although he had to think ahead to how many buffs he'd be getting with his Felidar Retreat. Edit: Right, he didn't even need to "leave back" blockers, because Felidar Retreat grants vigilance.

He didn't need to hold back blockers his whole board had vigilance.

Josh’s ancient tomb move was next level

[@demrandom]

"i'm not gonna count the damage" says josh, when he probably could've killed D with an alpha strike, and then only taken the unblockable 2 the next turn.

[@jasman1000000]

yeah, he had 37 damage on board, he would've dealt lethal.

[@nicholas8739]

Yeah, it was a little weird, but was probably just to showcase all the decks. It definitely would have been tight still, imho. The power and value that Jimmy was generating was getting to the point of being able to zone in on Josh pretty strongly.

[@gavinli1368]

Definitely true. Cause if you don't have creature removal, player removal works too. But as was said, it's nice to show off all the decks and prevent a feels bad moment knocking someone down almost from full starting life.

I feel like D would have had a better chance if he'd made an alliance with Josh after his 'alliance' either made no effort to take Josh out or attacked him instead of Josh. Given how things ended, it didn't matter this time, but it might be worth talking about. On a positive note, I loved that Mage Slayer animation!

I'm with you his "party" chipped in a bit but really relied on him to take Josh out. If he had made an actual alliance with Josh right in Josh's moment of need I think he could have won.

To be honest, and not to be an as*hole, I thought she was making weak play and bad decisions a lot. Maybe not as an experienced player as the other 3. Also, her deck was really weak.. Party mechanic is baddd

[@cronchable]

I actually thought that wasn't the worst idea. If she'd done it in combat, Josh could have used Akiri's ability in response to make her indestructible. Using it in upkeep means he doesn't really get to do that because it would tap her and deny him the ability to attack.

[@cronchable]

@@Hellspeller You're assuming quite a lot here, pal. One game is really not big enough of a sample size to judge the strength of a deck or its pilot. And even if it was, she didn't do many plays that were objectively misplays? Just because you preface a sentence with "not to be an asshole" doesn't make it less harsh.

Wow, he said he "taps 2" conveniently leaving out what mana was being produced. Sneaky!

[@Ash-qp2yw]

@@HeirophantCarneus He taps a mountain and the mind stone, so he has 1R in his pool for the card...

Hats off to Josh for not just crushing his opponents when he clearly could have.

[@reactivatedyt9788]

Yeah he could have full swing at D and took his flying problem out really quick. Content though! 😂

I literally refresh youtube every day to see if there is a new episode of Game Knights.

[@RafaelNaletto]

I'm always on that line between "GO GUYS TAKE JOSH OUT / GO JOSH, DRAW SOMETHING PERFECT"

[@angeloromaz]

21:55 Did Josh cast "Sram, Senior Edificer" with one colorless and one red mana? lol Good Game Knights btw uwu

[@leonmadrigal560]

Let’s see that in round table I don’t see anything that creates the white mana the way he played it. Well unless it’s an editing issue no chromatic this time. Because he says pay 2 instead of using colors.

[@DreadedEnding]

Leon Madrigal he literally tapped the shock land

[@seanrackley4582]

At least he grabbed the correct land with the fetch unlike Craig

[@leonmadrigal560]

Jake Poundtown yeah but he tapped that at the time he cast the mindstone and he said I tap two for mind stone

[@orgazmo686971]

Yes...technically - but he tapped 2 white sources for the mindstone. Chances are he did it right the 1st time, then they did a 2nd take and that time he tapped the wrong things and that's what we see. He very much had the capability to get the Mind Stone and Sram out though.

Josh: Boros is the worst color pairing in EDH. (flashbacks to Firesong and Sunspeaker game) Super explosive first few turns this game. Josh is clearly lying to us all in an attempt to keep the most powerful color pairing all to himself!!!!

[@jacobjensen7704]

And yet he still doesn't play the color very well.

[@Schneggcheeen]

I might have missed something but at 22:00 Josh tapped red and collorless to play Sram, Senior Edificier which are the wrong colours, he would have needed white. Amazing episode anyways!

[@juicynarkiller23]

Looked everywhere for this comment

[@alexandernikolaidis]

I really enjoyed these ads, especially GFUEL. They’re so creative! It was great to see D win after doing ALL the work to kill Josh (with a key assassin’s trophy assist). Very cool to see the party come to full power after a slow start and clearly dominate by the end, just needed 1 more turn.

Not necessarily

@@omnom277 if they got 20 cards in their hand are you gonna pay extra to prevent them drawing the 21st? You know what I mean? If you got the mana for it then sure, but I'd rather leave mana up and bluff even if I don't got nothing than to tap out and let everyone know I'm wide open. It's a contextual thing, man, there is no "always yes" or "always no"

[@omnom277]

@@derekwalter4238 And none of those 20 cards would be a counterspell or a Cyclonic Rift waiting to piss all over whatever you were gonna play? And even if you somehow lucked out and they don't have it, you're gonna give them a chance to draw into it? I can understand not paying it if the player had an overall bad game and letting them draw out of pity, but unless you need every last mana you have and the Rhystic Owner is tapped out, there is no reason for you to not pay it, it's 1 mana.

@@omnom277 I guess we ain't on the same page man. All I gotta say is if you think one mana doesn't mean anything then I can't wait to meet you at the table bro. I'm gonna have a good game and give you a run for your money man

So, that was pretty cold blooded at 11 minutes, when Josh just takes a dump on the entire deck idea of an opponent. Just cold, man.

"The deck I built is 'Tazri, Beacon of Unity'" It's a... bold... strategy... Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

[@mrpandabites]

I love Carolyn! She was always one of my favourite guests on Drawfee, and I loved seeing her in the various Dorkly shows. It's sad what happened to Dorkly, but I'm super happy to see her landing on her feet.

[@ConceptCentral]

Man that Tazri deck feels on a totally different power level (as in, its very underpowered compared to the other decks)

[@dorsalfin22]

Agreed. What is nice though is that in groups where one deck is clearly an underdog, usually that person is the second to last or wins because they are not interacted with as much due to their deck being underpowered. So it still feels balanced

[@Starcraftgamer97]

I will always root for Tazri

[@ConceptCentral]

@@dorsalfin22 tru. tru.

[@rb4121]

I think that's just the party mechanic. I... don't really like it, it seems so unstable, relying on way too many factors, and seeing it in action, even though Caroline did good, I'm not surprised her deck didn't win.
