Zur vs Yarok vs Athreos vs Mistform Ultimus EDH / CMDR game play

[@JoeyG21]

Don't comment often but just want to say that the last 5 minutes of that game was some of the best and most entertining EDH I've ever seen.

[@frederickerichson5428]

ok, maximus's deck is a 10/10. that ending was hilarious.

[@astonrichardson5288]

God Max REALLY made Mackenzie work for that W! Had so many answers! Definitely enjoyed the last sequence!

[@Tuffbunny13]

I was not expecting that from the Zur deck but damn am I inspired now! So sick! I can just hear the pokemon low health music ringing already.

[@connorl0204]

The game got straight up silly when there were only two players left. That’s a nutty sequence of plays.

[@mikemoyer8162]

Shout out to Maximus with his matching white-borders lands. I love it.

[@TheNoobGamer8]

Ok this was a sweet game and very unique decks. I loved the unusual cards from Athreos and Yarok Energy is something new for me. Oh, Andrew's sleeves are gorgeous.

[@NovaRocker21]

This was an incredibly entertaining and interactive game (especially those last 5 min)! Excellent job presenting all the plays so clearly every turn. Your channel is easily the best for play-by-play commander gameplay so thank you for everything you do!

[@momentofsatori]

I love those little niche idea decks. Good build Max

[@sammysammyson]

That Zur deck is a blast. Might have just found my next gimmicky deck!

[@DarkEinherjar]

This is the first time I've seen a Platinum Angel last this long... 🙃

[@DCToff]

Maximus last standing was truly marvelous to see

[@timoratof]

Man i would give my right arm to have a group to play commander with

[@dc50818]

Amen

[@BangThatGong]

If you want to play online with tabletop simulator let me know

[@ncuco]

One of the most original games/endings. Great video

[@newtpondskipper]

Max is my spiritual animal. Now I just need to see him play a Zur cycling deck to make my year. Well played sir!

[@FalseOracle617]

Cycling decks are underrated 😅

[@ivernedit]

Love seeing papa mistform. Got a win with him week or two ago and always enjoy seeing the father of that deck. If you have a bilbos ring, I recommend putting it in there. Super good with him!

[@Spirited_skiing]

The most satisfying ending you could imagine

[@joeltagert]

Great game with some genuinely fun decks!

[@DachFalimo]

I've tried running the "Don't Lose" cards before, but only ever one in a deck. 4+ is an interesting strategy!

[@RalfBergmann-h5f]

Did I miss something? I think Max can't pay 6 life at the point he doesn't have life. Otherwise: Nice defense. Why did you bounce the False Prophet instead of the Athreos?

[@rorykitchen2727]

Thought so too but Black Market Connections is lose life, not pay life.

[@brandonfrew3221]

Always enjoy those sleeves on Mistform

[@Miracle-lg7fr]

Andrew, what sleeves are you using? It's making all your cards look extra cool

[@MTGMuddstah]

Look up Mythic Frames "Nordic Mistform"

[@gypsieking3280]

Oh man. Solid emd game there. Great watch.

[@SilentMannam]

I'd really like to see that Yarok Energy deck list.. Looks so fun..

[@calvinmobley9628]

Aye it's been a minute since seeing mistform.

[@Psychotic6]

Dat last turn

[@geekmp3]

My man Max with the most beautiful lands in the game! #whiteborder

[@safertobeanonymous2224]

For all you Monty Python fans! “I’m not dead yet!” “Shut up you’ll be stone dead in a moment” “I feel happy! I feel happy! I feel…..” *whack!

[@PirateNori]

That was a wild ending

[@MatDurrant777]

Hope we get the yarok deck soon

[@RG-wv3gt]

What's the music? Good work/study music!

[@watagcomic]

Mistform is back ❤❤

[@Myrical32007]

Yo what are those sleeves you got man they look insane!

[@dess8815]

Yo first comment nice I love your content so much

[@jose_cerrov8383]

I neeed yarok's decklist!!! Super interesting

[@MrOhmChan]

Yarok my main edh deck❤

[@Abraktil]

nice music

[@TheDejectedArtist]

It didn’t matter at the end but the life keeping errors were a hot mess.

[@anactualdino]

Sometimes someone gets bullied throughout the game despite not being a big threat that game. Micah had one of those games, except Micah just wanted to do degenerate stuff with board wipes

[@The_Metalcrafter]

2nd the best 👍

[@KaiserZ420]

Yarok´list ??

[@j0hnicus]

music good

[@oddishinanuttshell9411]

As much Esper as it could be.

[@nosebleed9432]

i might be wrong, but doesn't heliod HAVE to target an enchantment as it enters, since it is not a may ability?

[@TT-gc3ze]

If there is a target, yes.

[@nosebleed9432]

@@TT-gc3ze Oh, so you are able to cast it without there being a target. Does the same thing work for cards like decimate?

[@TT-gc3ze]

@@nosebleed9432 no because you only need to target something with the "enther the battlefield" ability of the creature and not to cast it. Decimate needs all legal targets to be cast

[@jcstaff1007]

That was hilarious. Bring maximus back.

[@MTGMuddstah]

I can't get rid of him!

[@ZidaneTribal1989]

Max should not have gotten any benefits from Black Market Connections with his life at 0. In the comprehensive rules under 119.4: if a cost or an effect allows a player to pay an amount of life greater than 0, the player made you so if the amount they wish to pay is greater than or equal to the cost. I don't believe it would change the outcome too much but just saying for everyone if you don't have enough resources to pay for any cost in the game you can't get the benefits.

[@levithompson1161]

It's not paying life, it's losing life

[@sadforce]

I was not aware you can pay 6 life for black market connections when you have no life.

[@levithompson1161]

It's not paying life, it's losing life

[@ericbenevides5739]

Yup. You’re not paying, just losing.

[@MageSkeleton]

i'm not saying that Mistform Ultimus shouldn't be run as a commander option at all anymore since the introduction of Orvar, the All-Form, but i can't enjoy a game where someone decides to use Mistform Ultimus. It's not you, it's me.

[@Happymasks]

Ultimus doesn't really guide your deck building process like Orvar does so I can see why he choses it. He tried swapping them out but there just wasn't any synergy with what he wanted to do.

[@CPForte]

I mean Mistform is extremely sketch, but the problem with Orvar is, that it is a very threatening commander, so it will rarely stay on the battlefield for long. If you want to focus on the changeling part, it makes sense to run Mistform.

[@gavinm3279]

Unfortunately, Max can't pay down into negative life to use the black market connections. A misplay, but an interesting game.

[@jokerES2]

Black Market Connections does not cause you to pay life. You chose a mode, and then you lose life. Since you're not paying life, it's actually okay.

[@gavinm3279]

@@jokerES2 Ah, good catch, you're right. That wording makes all the difference.
