I really enjoyed playing against Richard's bird deck (and Phil's Tireless Tracker proxy deck ;) ). He manages to build decks that are both a danger to everyone at the table yet fun and unassuming.

Poor Crim being accused of stax when he was just helping the table jam more games with some classic burn. Loved watching the Ojer deck, such a fun commander to have at the table.

3 games in 39 minutes. That's really fast And this episode was incredibly entertaining.

7:10 "this isn't burn because it reminds me of another burn deck." You'd think someone who loves blood moon as much as Seth would know what a stax piece is.

Stax slows down/locks the game so it can take people off their game plan and deploy its own. Fast burn is the exact opposite. You still don’t get to deploy your game plan, but that’s because you died, not anything to do with getting locked or disrupted.

I love every time Crim is on mono-red. This is burn in EDH. Being here for a good time not a long time. Love seeing it

if you think about it, Grizzly Bears is a stax piece because it lowers your life total until you can't play cards anymore

Milling anger was iconic lmao Edit: I've been convinced to make a burn deck for my playgroup 😈

Poor Seth (probably better known as SaffronOlive), the only one who didn't manage a win. Hopefully we'll see his Petitioners in Revenge Week!

That spite mill for 1... Milling an ANGER!! 😂😂😂

Seth in 2024: is this stax? Absolutely hilarious! Love these guys

Crim's deck is making my red little heart absolutely sing with joy. ❤🔥

3 games in less then 40 min😂😂😂 amazing I love it! Such goofy decks too!

I loved when Crim cast all those dragons approach cards across both games. 😂

Great game guys! That said, Burn is not STAX. You can still do the thing, it will just hurt 😂

BONUS GAME!!🎉

Crim is the best magic personality lol love how he builds and plays.

seth calling burn stax is my personal hell words have meanings

IS THAT AN ARMAGEDDON!?!

I can’t believe Seth is still calling it “Axolon”

"Descent into avernus is a group hug card" is the hot take I wasn't expecting and yet is hilariously true.

Absolutely love the transition to playing paper magic on the channel ❤❤❤

​@kobisjeruk That no combat damage rule is not at all the same as starting with 10000 life. With 10K life, I would aim to win with combat damage and no infinite combo. Good synergy decks can easily exceed 10K power, by a LOT. My Thromak deck by around turn 7 got over 1 with 40 zeros power. You just need some way to multiply, like doubling effects.

for what looked like jank, those were some haymakers being throw around

Wait... Crim's deck is more about Ojer Axonil than Approach of the dragons. I call shenanigans!

absolutely love this episode. fast and crazy games with a wonderful amount of friendly banter. 10/10

"Is the stax deck in the room with us right now?" 😂😂😂

you guys are actually the best group of 4 ive ever seen super funny and interesting new decks every time, everyone knows what theyre doing and i love the 3-2-1 clash on! 😂

Now that we’re on paper... Planechase with all 151 cards for a Chaos week?

I must provide engagement and praise Richard's deck! Want to build that deck card by card (minus the land destruction >:/ ).

This episode was outstanding. CLASH ON!

I mean, Crim just played an Ojer deck. What Dragon’s Approach?

Seth getting closer to the mic to say "STAX" really make me laugh

That was a great episode. lt must have just been a running joke to annoy crim, but I agree with him it's not stax 😅.

This was the funniest thing ive seen in a while. Shout outs to the burn players

nice to see this after the brewer's kitchen episode on these cards

I don't know if these decks were especially high powered or if everyone stuck to the theme so much that no one really had much interaction so everyone just sort of goldfished into their thing.

Still a big fan of live action play! Keep up the good work guys!

0:20 Phil!! Dang it! 😂 you didn't go for the rat pun? Rats go? Shame😅 but still this will be a good game I hope

These are the fastest commander games I have ever seen lol. Great video! Gotta say I liked crims deck the most. It reminds me of my nitro deck I built to stop actual stax and pillowfort decks from making every game take 6 hours lol.

28:36 It is the same frame, it's just super dark for some reason, but it varied back in the day as well (though not that dark).

This was awesome! Y’all should do this more!

It could be interesting to see how functional you could make pauper commander decks. Especially since there are only 12 common legendary creatures, and they're all terrible.

3 games in one?? this is a great ep! lots of fun stuff goin on.

I built an Ojer Axonil Brawl deck as soon as the card was spoiled. Roiling Vortex has been the all-star whenever it comes down. It's great to see Crim enjoying the card so much.

I have a Nethroi rat colony deck and I love it! Theres several cards that can only be played in that deck that are useless otherwise. Rememberance gets more rat colonies out of the deck when one dies. And Bloodbond March gets every rat colony out of the grave onto the battlefield whenever anyone plays a rat colony!

How does Deflecting Swat works on Test of Talents? Isn't Slime Against Humanity the only valid target? Or can you counter Test of Talents with the same Test of Talents once it's already on the stack? Or did you make it target Deflecting Swat which made it fizzle? (by the time Test of Talents resolves, Deflecting Swat is no longer on the stack)

Woe I didn't expect these types of games but they were pretty enjoyable

Crim's Ojer deck is so sweet I have a lot of those cards but I never thought I could play the villain. Its got exactly the troll "I'm here for a good time" mentality.

THAT WAS SO COOL I love ojer and seeing descent twice was awesome LOL

These games are freaking amazing! 2 games in 1 hour! I know it is edited but still these are much faster than before.

The black surveil lands are better than scrylamds because they enable reanimation

I was hoping that Seth was going to bring back his Surgical Extraction Shadowborn Apostle deck albeit without the restriction.

Fun to see Ojer in the game! I also built it but i havent played with it yet. Took out the Avernus because it gives mana to others, tho :D

This is my favorite episode this season

Surprised none of the lists are running locket of yesterdays

BURN IN COMMANDER! HELL YEAH!

I love the switch from MTGO!!! Its so nice to be able to seamlessly have a game (or 3)

Crim's doggo in the back had my attention the whole time.

Nethroi selfmill is my pet deck! Excited to see what Phil does with him

I would have loved to see someone play my Shadow born Apostle Deck with Shuri, Shizo's Caretaker as the commander

Boy, the crew really liked the Surveil lands!

You managed to put the same description under the video as last week. Pretty sure that´s an accident, but it still fits incredible well.

*looks at video length*, huh this is a pretty quick game Crim: *plays roiling regrowth into descent into avernus* Oh okay that makes sense Edit: HOLY SHIT IT WAS 3 GAMES NOT ONE

Woo! Slime time! Win or not gotta love the ooze.

Amazing episode!

Hold on, mill 1. Anger! Hahaha what a great moment

gotta love Richard's dedication to decks that would get you banned from your LGS

Those were some fun games! The Invasion land arts are some the of the best in my opinion and foils are chefs kiss. The editor has some mad skills but I kind of feel like it's being overly edited at times to the point it's a little dizzying/distracting.

What happened to Crim is exactly why I took apart my mono-red burn deck. It never won because everyone killed me first just since they didn't like taking damage from spells/enchantments. (Even though they seemed fine taking damage from each others' creatures and infinite combos.) Red causing irrational rage is a bit flavorful, at least.

I would love to see in the stats episode for this season "participation rate in 'Clash on!'"

I do wish crim deck was more about the actual dragons approach tbh

idk if anyone else feels this way but this is one of my favorite things to put on in the background and it kind of sucks that they have been getting shorter i like the hour long episodes

At 16:42 the descent into avernus should not have been able to return the sphinx of the chimes, which is a 6 drop

Yes! Seth! Sphinx of the chimes! I made a petitioners deck with mormir vig

More game per second, Crim confirmed not stax.

Crim never fails to be a stax player. Surveil is the new do you pay the 1.

All I hear is punching... Crim, Keep the pain coming!

13:19 these creatures should be 7 and 8 because Richard forgot he survailed another slume

Crim: Breathes Seth: Wouldn't that make you a stacks player

The dynamic has changed. Richard, having seen Tomer play combos, has decided that combos are dope, actually, what if his deck just revolved around combos that either end the game one way or another? He either wins, or basically immediately kneecaps himself and doesn't have to care after that. Meanwhile, Crim has decided he's clearly tired of games that last too long, and has thus EMBRACED MAXIMUM VIOLENCE. I assume he has the DOOM 2016 soundtrack playing in the background, the editor just had to cut it out.

When Richard tapped codie to cast his combo, how did he cast a second slime since he would have been out of green mana?

I thought this was gonna be house rule 100+. Glad it wasn't.
