Remember, people... if it's a "may" search effect, like in Ranger-Captain of Eos, you can simply choose not to search to deny your opponent a card if Opposition Agent is out.

Nick is a much kinder person than I. I would of slammed down that op agent in response to the fetch and laugh

Amazing video as always pwp keep up the good content

Yes game 1 looked wheely fun! Lol

That ending is why its often a good idea to put a shuffle effect card like a titan in a cedh deck if there is a slot for it. Some of them fit really well into slower stax decks or where you can cheet them out in other ways

TIL about that jeweled lotus kinnan interaction from game 1. Really neat!

I like the new video title thing you guys are doing.

Great matches! Keep it up guys!

Definitely going to try Xanthid Swarm in some decks.

Seeing an Esper deck (other than Tivit) win made me so happy

My main deck is an Aminatou combo/control deck. I love playing Humility/Night of Soul's Betrayal when I only have 5 creatures in my deck

Just out of curiosity, could anyone explain why Nick wouldn't flash in Opposition Agent in response to Alex cracking his fetchland? It seemed like the best value he'd be getting out of it.

Sort of. If he plays it then, people will start playing around it and he doesn’t get as much value, plus it might get removed earlier and not stop people from doing worse things. Getting a land is fine but you’d rather show the mana for it and pretend you don’t have it so that people tutor for more relevant cards that you can steal

Nick here. My thought process is, if you are going to take someone out of the game by turn one oppoing their fetch. You need to be aiming to win within a turn or two or you have a hand that can deal with your other two opponents. I had neither of those things. So taking him out of the game, very well could have been detrimental to me myself winning. I have had people take me out of games with similar plays then they could do nothing while some other opponent combos off and wins while I am sitting there with unplayable interaction.

Favorite part of the game(s)? Absolutely silence on the stack.

Sen Triplets was a really exciting inclusion to me.

15:45 is impossible, Kinnan entered the battlefield that turn. He did have two other creatures to use it on (though he used Deathrite), so it is fine, but it was almost completely impossible to do

Notion Thief = good card.

I feel like i never see anyone actually play sen triplets.

Why He/Him banners over the players?

Where's gut shot when you need it

the first Opposition Agent it's the worst Opposition Agent

Again some very cool games, but again, no effort is made by Nick to play his commander, so Nick and may as well have any Esper based commander so he can use the cards in its mana base 🙂

Why the heck doesn't drake ever pay for rhystic study? In my book thats a huge missplay. He's got oodles of unspent mana and yet still feeds the study why?

6:57 this should be impossible to do because jeweled lotus's mana can not be used for anything but commanders unless there is an interaction i am missing because even if kinnan lets you add another mana since its the jeweled lotus creating it wouldnt the commander restriction still apply?

Ah, yes, Brain Freeze with as much as the general meta plays Breach Freeze, Turbo naus, and Thoracle I'm surprised there hasn't been that much of a rise in stax style decks. Personally, I've been on the Jorn stasis lock deck. Recently had a 3-hour game cause everyone refused to concede to my Orb of dreams, Stasis, Forsaken City hard lock in hopes they would draw a way to remove stasis that couldn't be countered. 😂 stubborn play group...

That’s not that wild. Both Boseiju and Otowara are uncounterable and would remove the stasis for at least some amount of time.

Nick is responsible for his own death when he tried to counter the Elemental blast. He should have let it resolve. He still would have won even if Thoracle was destroyed.
