@@VVheeli I used to have a 60 card Sultai Maralen deck that forced you to search (theres a few search cards that don't have the 'may' clause) i'd get Ob Nixilis Unshackled into play, then force people to search for a land, Ob would trigger, then when Maralen's ability occurred i'd go and get a counterspell to stop whatever they tutored for 😁. The deck was janky as hell but the looks on their faces when they realised they couldn't just decline to search, that they were going to lose 3 from Maralen, 10 from Ob, lose their blocker and die to Ob in combat was priceless.

Neheb the Eternal deck got like a thousand mana and tried to fireball a Kess player using a Boseiju to force the damage through. In response the Kess player cast a Shaman's Trance and cast the Neheb player's own Wild Ricochet from their graveyard, killed the other player with the copy and rebounded the original back at the Neheb to win the game lmao. Was the ultimate Uno "No U" play I've ever seen 😆

Great game! Loved the way Zach baited out 2 counters with Red Elemental Blast and Cyclonic Rift when he knew he could just attack the Narset anyway and combo off after.

Worst part was seeing the Urza player not pay for the Rhystic Study Trigger w/ the Lotus Petal... Brandon should have remembered the Force of Will was on the top! If that Time Spiral would have resolved w/ Narset on the board, Urza would have pulled FAR ahead. - Not to mention get rid of the Demonic Consultation in hand...

New challenge for those deck builders, no blue challenge.

I’m a relatively new player, so I’m sure I’m missing something, but during Brandon’s upkeep @12:03 or so, Andrew plays Consultation and Brandon counters it with FoW. This triggers Sam’s Rhystic and he draws from this. During Brandon’s first Main Phase, he casts a Time Spiral and Sam draws from Rhystic again, hits a Force of Will, and counters the Spiral. If I’m not missing anything, shouldn’t Narset’s ability have prevented the second Rhystic draw this turn, thus preventing Sam from drawing the Force of Will and playing it?

@jacobclements3652

There was a missplay when Zach casted Mana Crypt, as triggers of Rhystic Study never went to the stack.

but why did he use the pact of negation on the red elemental blast if the opponent had the creatures on the field to destroy narset? it was a wasted counter that could have been saved for later, narset was dead anyway.

How can Brandon have "Scalding Tarn" in his deck - is it not blue and red? is it because it is a fetch land and doesn't tap for either of those colors? I'm new to the format.

No worries! Welcome! So basically a color identity is assigned via the pips (the mana icons) in either the casting cost or on the card text.

Any mentions of things like forest or mountain, etc. don't count towards color identity.

Why do people always cast mana crypt on a turn when they don't use it? Especially when there's no threat of discard. 3 damage isn't much, but why even risk it?

@PlayingWithPowerMTG

Because there is always a threat of discard in CEDH. At any time, someone can put 3 mana together and cast timetwister/Windfall/Wheel of Fortune. Then you've lost your mana crypt. The trade off of protecting your mana crypt from being discarded being only 3 damage if you (maybe) lose on your upkeep. It's worth the trade.
