We hope you all enjoy this bit of a... different game to say it simply without too many spoilers. It was definitely interesting to play and I hope you all find it interesting to watch as well.

Cir-cutie-ous Route says hello

I have to say something, I am a constant watcher of your videos, and the ones of many other mtg edh KZread channels, I have to say I love yours the most. This edeting is amazing, the nice zooming out to explain the stack, the correct announcements of triggers, targets.. ability's and everything else.. The more you watch the more details you see. The number of cards.. The floating mana.. Maybe you could make the players have different colored names to show which commander damage is from who. Just an idea to improve these awesome videos even more... Just now as I write these words I see the turn count at the top for the first time! Those details which I was talking about earlier. I love it. Keep it up. We appreciate your work and love your content. May the gods be with you and may your opponents don't leave blue mana untapped while passing the turn to you. Greetings form Hamburg in Germany!

I would give the red deck the side eye, "You have no artifact destruction?"

I really appreciate and respect the fact that not only do you put your lists on tappedout, but you also explain the combos and how they work. It's been extremely helpful!!

What an insane game. I love the content. You guys are probably my favorite commander channel.

This is such a great powerlevel! Great breakdown of the Stax pieces at the end. I think it is wonderful for these videos because it adds a great deal of interaction and suspense. And video editing! You added screen shake! I wonder if you’ll ever do a “oh god this is kitchen” April fools video. I’d love to see that

This game was definitely one of my favourites on this channel and prob others ever. Also enjoy the extra dimension that stax adds to a game, and this was a perfect example of it on so many occasions during this game!

You guys are doing something right, the lab maniacs mentioned y'all in there month in review podcast. I been following them for about 3 years and I been a subscriber of y'all for a while too, glad to know your content is been recognized by others. Keep up the good work

I love what you guys are bringing to the community. For the longest time, my playgroup and I were yo-yo-ing between full power cEDH content that was almost never considers playing niche/suboptimal cards and casual battlecruiser content. My group is right where you guys are at! We love our wheel of fortune/notion thief combos, and our worldgorger loops, but we also like to include some spice and personal preference. Keep up the great work - I'm loving the decklists and finding interesting cards you guys use... maybe consider doing deck techs once you get comfortable?

At around 23:25 Bill returns an artifact with Sequestered Stash to his Hand. The stash only returns artifacts to the top of the library.

Good work on the formatting. I enjoy watching it

I run a Brago Stax deck and am a big proponent of stax in a competitive environment. I absolutely had a blast watching this match, one of my favorites so far!

Great presentation of commander game, I love it

I love playing against Stax!!! It's like trying to solve a puzzle while playing Magic as well. So much fun 😁

At 16:10 or so, Nate taps City of Brass for blue Mana to tutor a card. The resulting Mana addition would have killed him due to City of Brass. I love your gameplay my friend!

Thank you just for existing

I love your speech on Stax! I feel the same way, seeing stax more like a puzzle to work through. It's not fun when stax are so oppressive that really it's just one person taking multiple turns and there is no way to do anything at all, but most stax can be dealt with if you have proper removal.

I love this. Please, please keep doing these.

Good way to start the day :)

Some of my favorite games had stacks pieces on the board. A saheeli deck beat down a kaalia deck with servos and myr to get rid of a stony silence

Wow, phenomenal game! So many great stacks (of spells) and stax pieces and timely interaction and counterspells, including two red counterspells from Bill that really impacted the game. Some awesome plays and I think everybody played very well. Nate really got hammered by some timely interaction from his opponents and I loved Bill's casting of Final Fortune to try and win the game after Nate (and his stax pieces) left the game. Too bad (for Bill) it didn't resolve. I was wondering why Nate was keeping that Solitary Confinement around because it didn't protect him from having his spells countered or from having his permanents removed, but I guess it is defense if Godo combos off since it does prevent damage and that's how Godo wins. But the Godo player was also pinned down from the stax pieces so not sure he was close to winning at that time. As for stax in EDH, I've gone from hating it to accepting it. And while I can't say I enjoy it, it does prolong games and often shuts off what my opponents are doing, and I agree with you that trying to win around the stax pieces adds another level of challenge to the game. I'll wrap up by saying I think you guys are doing the best quality cEDH content on KZread at the moment, so huge props to you guys for that. Oh, and please just say CHOO-lane like everybody else does! LOL

@andrewmarinkovich8657

Never mind my comment about Solitary Confinement. I see it did prevent him from taking damage that would have lost him the game. I got it now! :-)

Minor correction, forgive me for pushing my nerd glasses up for this one. Chulane's name isn't based off of the warrior Cu Chulainn, it was actually based on the blacksmith nammed Chulainn. Setana renamed himself Cu Chulainn ("The Hound of Chulainn") after killing the Blacksmith's dog and agreeing to guard his house like a hound until a proper guard dog could be raised to replace the one he murdered. So Chulane, teller of tales is actually the blacksmith, not the hero.

Hmm, storm player here and I gotta say, that definitely looks like a High Tide to me lol.

Hey guys, good to see ya around

Have to say this (as Irish person). Chulane doesn't come from Cú Culainn, a name that means hound of Culainn. Born Sétanta, he gained his better-known name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared.

While Stony Silence and Smothering Tithe are a bit of a nonbo they're still both worth to play. Either they leave my Stony Silence alone preventing them from using artifacts, or they destroy it giving me a big boost in mana

@Aedi

2 жыл бұрын

Whether you can see an immediate use for the treasures or not, its usually a good idea to pay for smothering tithe. Treasures are a powerful resource that can be used to gain value even with a stony silence on board (sacrifice fodder, things that actually care about you having treasures, or the eventuality that stony silence gets removed) hell, a large amount of treasures can form protection for the stony silence, it makes it a much riskier thing to remove if it gives him a lot of mana. So yeah, whenever theres a tithe on board, it's a good idea to figure out if you expect to have 2 mana left over after your turn, if so you should pay

What a wild ride

Late in the game bill tapped his great furnace while there was a Stony silence in play. He still had a extra untapped land so it didn't affect the game. I think it was his turn 11. Great game though keep up all the great work.

Great explanation of Stax in Edh. I personally do not have a problem with playing against pieces or the stax archetype once I understand them. The biggest problem could be that the length of the game is increased, but I'd like to know if that is an issue for your playgroup.

I thank Bill made a mistake. The land he used to return an artifact from the graveyard brings that back back on top of the library, not to his hand. So he couldn't have played trinisphere the same turn.

At about 23:40, Bill taps an artifact (Great Furnace) for mana with Stony Silence on the board. It didn't end up *directly* impacting the game since he never tapped his last mountain, but he was able to leave up/bluff Pyroblast when he shouldn't have been able to.

Love you guys :D

At 23:32. Just as a heads up. Sequestered stash does not put it into your hand. It puts it on top of your deck.

You are correct. It isn't a card that we play often so we must have skimmed over it; however, he did have the mana available to do it in response to moving to his own draw step, getting the same result

NO, since there is solitary confinement

I cannot express in words my absolute love of stax.

i think Cú Chulain is pronounced koo-kuhl-in in phonetic text. which is read as Cu-Cull-In. Depending on if u think the H in Chulane is silent or not it should be Chu-lane or Cu-lane. oh and PS. great job with narrating everything thats happening while still keeping it fast and interesting. Keep it up

Chulane will forever be known as Colin to me now.

voted for zur but godo looks also interesting. It is nice to see all the little things of the editing which have improved.

wait. Chulane is based of Cu Chulain? Damn. Now I need to make a Chulane deck with every legendary spear and somehow kill itself. Though I guess all the Lab man deck strategies make sense now. Its just lancer committing suicide and somehow winning at the end.

I played Chulane Hatebears at my most recent Commander event, and it ran the tables. My decks are in the 7 to 8 power level, and generally struggle to compete with some of the top level decks I encounter: however, I think people underestimate the effectiveness of cards like Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, both Thalias, Leonin Arbiter, Aven Mindcensor, Collector Ouphe, etc. Cards that either slow down or dumpster the typical cEDH meta are incredibly powerful and underplayed. I've never taken first place before at my events, but I think I will have a target on my back now.

Bill bidding his time with the Final Fortune. Excellent! Too bad it didn't pay off.

A few inventors fair triggers were missed on Godo’s board I believe. It didn’t matter, great game!

Chulane is not based on Cu Chulainn. Chulainn was a famous lance man and the “hound of Chulainn”.

Excellent game. Chulane can be such a fun Commander. Keep up the good work. Side note: Emma Handy is in a video with The Professor and pronounces it Choo-lane. She helped design the Brawl deck. Please stop saying Hullen. lol

Awesome game

I'll still keep calling him Chew-Lane 👍🏻

Hey guys, only found the channel because of the cough going around. Also Irish. The legend you want is Cú Culann. Pronounced: Coo Cull in Translation: Hound of Culann So the legend goes he was late arriving to a feast. Gets attacked by a wolf hound, and kills it by hitting a sliotar (slit-ur. Ur like Urza) down it's throat. Then realising who owned the dog he gives his service to Culann. But it's definitely Chulane, not Culaine.

23:40, Sequestered Stash should put Trinisphere to top of library, not to hand.

Hey so when Nate cast mystical tutor while at one life at 16:10 he tapped city of brass which would have killed him. His other mana options were mana Confluence and Tailismans, was the life total off, or was this something that just got missed?

Would be nice to see Emry, new Lavinia or Sen Triplets ;)

I think Jordan should have been a bit more aggressive with his creatures pre solitary confinement. He couldn’t activate them with the Totem in play anyway, and taking a point or two of life from Nate would have really constricted his plays since he was so aggressive with his Necro. There were a few points where being at one less life would have prevented him from tapping confluence or fetching with his delta.

Love the channel, but why did Jordan never use his Glenn elendra to stop the winning combo?

It looks like at 23:37 Bill tapped his Great Furnace to pay for Trinisphere when there was a Stony Silence in play. He still had a Mountain untapped, so it didn't ultimately matter here, but that Great Furnace wouldn't have been able to tap for a red.

Regarding the Chulane deck, what would've happened if Lotus Cobra was the last card in the deck? Chulane would then deck himself trying to play any creature spells.

Great video 1 mistake with Phyrexian unlife You can not pay anymore life, so nate could not tap adarkar wastes for blue, but could tap city if brass Phyrexian unlife also states, sources from your opponents, so he can't get infect from his own lands

800.4g. If a player leaves the game during his or her turn, that turn continues to its completion without an active player. If the active player would receive priority, instead the next player in turn order receives priority, or the top object on the stack resolves, or the phase or step ends, whichever is appropriate.
