If you discard a card with madness but don’t cast it, Shadow of the Grave can find it in your graveyard. If you do cast that card, Shadow of the Grave can’t find it in your graveyard. In games 1 & 2 Ryan returned cards they casted for the Madness cost from their graveyard to their hand. They are considered new objects, Shadow shouldn't have returned them. This is a niche rules interaction and easy error to make.

Was thinking the same thing. Here's the ruling, on the gatherer page for Shadow: If you discard a card with madness but don't cast it, Shadow of the Grave can find it in your graveyard. If you do cast that card, Shadow of the Grave can't find it in your graveyard.

The explanation is that it changes zones. If you discard a madness card, you discard it into exile; then, if it's not cast, it goes to the graveyard. This double zone change should be enough for effects to "lose track" of it, but there's a special rule for this particular case, rule 400.7k: "After resolving a madness triggered ability (see rule 702.35), if the exiled card wasn’t cast and was moved to a public zone, effects referencing the discarded card can find that object." However, if you do cast the card, it moves from exile _to the stack_ (as it is cast from exile), which causes any effect referencing that card to not find it anymore. Since rule 400.7k doesn't cover this case, it's just lost.

Super minor misplay with Shadow of the Grave. Because Call of the Netherworld was cast, it wouldn't be returned with Shadow of the Grave. Super niche interaction because who actually casts any other Madness card, but still fun to know

I'll have to disagree. Although she can be very fast, she's also way too easy to interact with. Especially in CEDH. Also takes a certain amount of dumb luck to find the needed pieces, even if you are drawing (potentially) rather quickly through your deck to combo off.

Anje is explosive, but flops very hard to basically any interaction, even a well timed bounce spell will do. For example, for the main line of animate+worldgorger dragon simply responding to the world gorger trigger will leave the anje player with literally nothing but what's left in their hand.

I've never understood why people continually use the Alms of the Vein loop with Anje once they have the Worlgorger combo going, when they could just pump their infinite mana into Avacyn's Judgement, which is also in the deck. And if that gets countered, there's always the Alms loop. It just seems like it would be easier to explain to your opponents and has fewer points of interaction.

Great games! It's nice to see Anje even though she's fallen out of favor. Orchish Bowmasters may be final end for her. Also, Ryan's game 3 starting hand is incorrect. It shows a blood crypt in hand but blood crypt is fetched up lster in the game. Lastly, Lord Windgrace seemed pretty underpowered. Has it preformed in other games or is the deck just on the weaker side?

I’ve been looking for upgrades to Anje as a new player and this list is clearly super potent…. Put them I saw the prices for some of those cards….

Wait can someone help explain something to a noob? In game 3 when Worldgorger got destroyed, why did the second ability resolve before the first ability, resulting in all of Ryan's permanent's being destroyed? Why wouldn't the dragon entering the battlefield resolve, then it gets destroyed and leaves the battlefield (triggering second ability)? I guess I'm confused how he ended that turn with nothing on the table.

Worldgorger left the battlefield before its enter the battlefield trigger resolved, so the leave the battlefield trigger resolves first. Everything gets returned to the table, then everything gets exiled because that's the order of Worldgorger's abilities leaving the stack.

This approach gets around Deflecting Swat. You avacyn's Judgment for a million and someone can swat it to yourself. Also, if you have pain lands, like City of Brass, you cannot generate infinite mana. Cards like Alms of the Vein allow you to gain life to circumvent this issue.
