ANSWERS FOR MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR THE EPISODE (and Spoilers) 1. The CMC of a spell with X in its cost is different in the hand than it is on the stack. When the spell is cast, the CMC changes based on what you pay for the X cost, thus when Jimmy cast his spell, it was an 11CMC spell. It states this clearly on the Gatherer page for Void Winnower: For spells with Variable Colorless in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine if the spell’s converted mana cost is even or not. For example, your opponent could cast Endless One (with mana cost Variable Colorless) with X equal to 5, but not with X equal to 6. (gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=402093) 2. The reason Ashlen was able to cast cards from her deck that were previously in her graveyard (like the Burnished Hart) is because her graveyard was shuffled back into her library due to the ability on multiple Eldrazi that states "When THISCARD is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles their graveyard into their library." 3. The Seedborn Muse that Josh owned does not have hexproof - Jacob copied Josh's Seedborn Muse with Lazav, Dimir Mastermind when it went to the graveyard. Lazav has Hexproof, and retains this ability when copying a card.

@@ismailchishti8577 I think Kozilek has priority 'cause he has the counter on the cast, while Roon ability can be played at instant speed. So basically Kozilek can use his ability before Roon can exile him. I think prio works something like this, but correct me if i'm wrong.

I know and I respect the fact that not every episode can be like this, and I appreciate every upload from this channel, but this is hands down the most fun I've ever had watching any video.

Tbf one of my first ever decks was a Simic coloured Eldrazi deck. The aim was to ramp out a Defense of the Heart on turn 2 or 3, trigger it the following turn (Forbidden Orchard was a 4 of and I ran 8+ mana dorks) to go and get two huge Eldrazi like Pathrazer of Ulamog, and then beat down with them, protected by counterspells while the table scrambled to deal with them coming down 7 turns early lol. Thing is they were only the first wave, decoys to soften up the table and clear through their answers and defenses. The category 1-3 Kaijus. They were the early game while I ramped and drew cards and soon started hard casting Kozilek, Ulamog and Emrakul from turn 6/7 onwards, recurring them, my ramp, my draw, and my counterspells whenever the Eldrazi titans died. It was brutally fun, but the group I played with kinda hated it so I stopped running it.

First i wanna say that i dont even own a deck of MTG cards, dont even play it. Saw u guys at rec page 4 days ago and i wanted to check out what this game is about. I dont watch videos that are more then 10 mins long, but i spend more than 3 hours watching your videos, and i gotta say that u guys are AMAZING. The amount of work u put into one video is...idk Im speechless. I have never been more entertained. I watched full videos and i enjoyed every second of it. Maybe one day i can get some lessons from u guys, cus u made me order some decks and start playing MTG. Keep it up guys!

Opening packs is so much fun when you are with your friends and when you get enough synergy to build a deck it is amazing.

Im like 50/50 that I met Jacob at a card shop in Columbus once...I went to college in OH so he looked so familiar. He was a great guest

One of the better Game Knights for a while, nice to get a real solid game. Jacob was fantastic, and bringing a deck that's all about playing off what your opponents do is such a solid choice, all about the 75% theory. Only thing that seems like a shame is him getting eliminated first. Of course, I get it, it wouldn't be a game without treating him like an actual player. Glad to see from the end that he got to do a lot more out there with you guys, and that he was such a good sport about everything.

Yeah I think he was only eliminated first because Ashlen was so far ahead that she didn't want Jacob casting his commander again to let the other two draw cards. Smart decision on her part. Unfortunately for him, group hug commanders can easily make you a target, especially if you're as far ahead as she was.
