Seth deck is the kind of deck that only does something on the 8th uninterrupted combo piece played, whereas Richard's decks both win off the first.

Verdant succession is pretty dumb with spykit though, if you get both and a sac outlet you can go grab worldspine wurm, equip for 2, sac it, make 3 5/5s and it's repeatable (since it shuffles itself), for every 2 mana you can make 3 5/5s. You can even go grab craterhoof and a haste enabler with it, all it takes is mana in a green deck and it's obviously game over if the sac outlet is altar.

Other fun cards with Spy Kit: Eradicate, Ardenn, Echoing Truth, Echoing Decay, Eye of Singularity, Remembrance, Bazaar of Wonders, Deputy of Detention, and Detention Sphere. The deck "Same Name, Different Shenanigans" on Moxfield uses most of those.

To Seth's credit, Richard's decks both lose guaranteed to a single removal piece, while his can at least attempt to recover. The latter half of that second game looked miserable for Richard, I have to give him props for not conceding.

"I think you're abusing the social contract" Seth succinctly describes Richard's strategy in every Commander game hahaha.

I’m surprised Richard is the only one who seemed to be playing surveil lands, particularly with all the fetched around the table. It seems so much better to have that as an option to fetch out so you aren’t fetching cycling duals or triomes unless you need the 3 colors

Now that you play in paper, have you considered playing with weird rulesets? I specifically want to suggest "Everyone starts with a Panharmonicon emblem" for Seth week.

the Crim shenanigans with Counterbalance, Top, Keen Duelist and so on were very cool

Seth's no creature deck is really cool! never thought about playing Court of Vantress and giving someone else the monarch to make them the archenemy! Seth really showing this deck building skills this episode! :D

loving the physical cards! sweet decks!

Crim, I have started using "City of Ass" in my deck in place of City of Brass and it is always a conversation piece.

Seth if you ever revisit the spy kit plan, use Ardenn as a partner pair, yes you only get 3 colors but you can equip the kit to an opponent’s creature

just built marvo with eye of the storm, teferi, worst fears, alrund epiphany nanogene conversion and clones for all the attack triggers!! INFINITE OCTPUS ATTACKS

Very fun episode as always. I wonder if, its being played spelltable, would people prefer the camera feed for the two players on top to be flipped, so that nobody's board is upsidedown?

I have a version of Richard's second deck that uses Man Severance + Jace Wielder of Mystery's. It always fun to play it once in a new playgroup 😂

I LOVE MARVO SO MUCH! THANKS FOR PLAYING HIM

Great format!

Standing ovation to Richard's first deck lol. Only addition I would make is adding in the original Bosejiu to make sure the combo doesn't get disrupted.

I actually run a spy kit deck that seems to be a little more consistent than this. It uses Ardenn and Silas Renn as partner commanders. Ardenn can equip the spy kit onto opponent's creatures, so you can skip out on needing Zedruu to donate, and Silas is just generically good recursion for artifacts, and a surprisingly good addition to an equipment deck. Recently, I've been enjoying cryptic coat and the end as new toys for the deck. It also can do cool thopter sword things, and plays a bunch of the transmogrify equipments as threats that Ardenn can cheat onto creatures.

CROWD SURF THE KARNNNN

editor: ☹😃

I remember running Ayula's Influence and ~90 lands in a Gitrog deck. Piles like these are kinda funny for a game. Just, the one though (imo) :P

Richard you absolute madman never change

On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" things are smarter than they appear. Will Crim "BIG BRAIN" just do `totally normal` things or will Richard learn from the best to inch out the win? Tune-in to find out!

I’m so happy with Richard’s decks the wondered deck is something I’ve talked about for a while but never built bc you can only play it once with a play group. It was so awesome to see somebody do it

“This is now on an adventurrrre” 😂

I have a deck similar to Richard's - the whole deck costs 63 cmc total. I'm down to 45 lands though, and I run ALL the tutors, plus ALL the fast 0-2 mana artifact ramp. I kill with Exsanguinate or Tendrils, and have Krark-Clan Ironworks and Skirge Familiar for extra mana. I can't draw the whole deck (unless I go off a second time), but I can always get around 30+ cards, which is enough.

Sidisi can’t get the tutor by sacrificing itself. It can sacrifice itself on the trigger, but it resolves without effect, because exploit is “when (this creature) exploits a creature”, and it’s no longer on the battlefield at point of resolution.

I loved Richard's deck that was great

I run a Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire deck with 97 lands, Sickening Dreams, and Ad Nauseum. It uses Glacial Chasm to prevent the damage from Sickening Dreams.

Why did crim counter phils artifact when richard did the most obvious i have a combo deck play ive ever seen with that sidisi cast with no permanents

Awesome. Clash on!

Not Richard reminding me of all the lands I've used and abused 😅 the storage counter lands with voral of the hull clade was an in my very first paper edh deck

Manifold Key is a powered down Voltaic Key in my opinion. Manifold Key's untap ability has to target another artifact, while Voltaic Key can target itself. This may sound weird, but it is key to infinite mana combos with Rings of Bright Hearth plus a rock that makes 4+ mana. The unblockability for 3 mana on Manifold key almost virtually never gets activated in artifact decks, which is where Manifold and Voltaic key find there best homes.

I love this group's dynamic. "My spells can't be countered - _Crim."_ "Can _that_ be countered?" "...yes..."

I used to have a very similar Sidisi Deck. Really something you can't play all that often.

Whoa, the clashing and marvo is SO COOL

Crim i'm in love with your deck

15:58 takes out civic Saber calling it city of brass on top

ooh crim is so amazing he remembers the card order on his library. HES PLAYING ONLINE HE CAN JUST WRITE IT DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER

Did Phil really think a free lighting bolt every turn with artifact synergies wouldn't be good. You opponents get to choose sure, but it quickly gets to the point where they have no good choices with how many ways there are to untap artifacts

Dope 🙏🏼🤘🏼

Crim back to dimir seems right

39:00 Why wouldn't the other combo pieces work? If you cascaded into Zealous Conscripts first the combo works just fine

Crim plays Diva so well 😅
