Dang! That combo in game 1 was nutty!

Just goes to show how potent Drannith Magistrate is in cEDH since it almost single-handedly suppressed the rest of the table, and the minute it was gone Koll popped off for the win.

Yep! It does also speak to the general weakness of stax pieces though. The second the single stax piece leaves, the game is over. Gutty was holding removal the entire game so he just waited until other players burned interaction to go for it. Stax can help opposing players create windows to win while suppressing other players.

Indeed! I play with him a lot on our game nights. He's improved a lot over months!

So excited for this win. Koll is my dream edh deck.

Nice plays!

Built a buddy a deck that uses thoracle to win off a primal surge. Its pretty icky how much he can interact despite being all permanent cards and how quick he can win.

Always cool to see decks like that. I saw something similar that could only assemble janky 2 card combos like Labman + Leveler (this is before Thoracle) but that's not too difficult to do with Defense of the Heart and Tooth & Nail

Let’s go Gutty!

Masterful plays by Gutty.

You can target to equip the same creature that's already equiped, a.k.a. double equip?

@DasdardlyGuttersnipe

Yes, you can equip the same creature. It's a bit unintuitive.

As long as it's not equipped with Lightning Greaves (or has shroud from some other source), yes.

Matt prob would've benefitted more from not "Chain of Vapor"ing his own Aphetto, trading the 2 extra Nadu triggers on his own turn for multiple triggers on each of his opponents' turns (2 vs 7). With any luck, in those 5 extra cards are an instant speed cantrip, tutor, or a land that can target for additional triggers.

Aphetto Alchemist was tapped to untap the Mox Diamond in order to cast Nadu (and Shuko with that colorless from Ancient Tomb), so it couldn't be tapped again that turn cycle. Gutty tutoring for Memnite was a clear sign that he had Skullclamp in hand and was ready to combo. Removing the equip cost reducer was necessary to avoid immediately losing plus it gave Matt an additional 2 draws to try to find protection for his next turn.

Everyone always seems to have the best draws

I feel like Magda could run another utility artifact or 4 instead of some of those lands. With just a Maskwood Nexus in his deck he could have easily won that turn through the spellskite (but not the opposition agent).

that game 2 Nadu hand was crazyyyy

Cute Tamamo playmat, Matt!

Magda player was great

Im gonna be honest here nadu seems purity tame in 4 player pods. 😵 Not sure why its been abuge issue when the deck has so much fun combos.

It feels very manageable to me when played at cEDH level. I'm not a fan of Nadu at lower power though where table fun is a concern. Nadu just occupies too much of the clock while being harder to interact with at lower power tables where stax and counterspells are less common.

@@SmoothBrainEDH yeah I understand, but it still seems like it doesn't have the same affect it had like in modern where you have 4 and access to other colors. It seems to me the deck is a 2/3 piece combo deck that lets you draw and ramp.

Definitely dont need to draw your deck and thasa. Just finale of devasatation for 10 to give haste

Match 2 Magda could win if there isnt Gaea craddle as he could winter orb all players. Also, spellkite is a problem with the clock xombo so, lets say he had bad lucky in this match

Worth noting no Winter Orb in the list. The Spellskite was stopping Clock combo but also Jason had both Opposition Agent and Orcish Bowmasters. He couldn't deploy anything when he wanted to due to everyone threatening wins.

Why did Magda not just grab clock of Omen right there and win...

Spellskite was stopping Clock combo. There's no Sculpting Steel in this list to copy Portal. Not that second portal would've stopped things given that Jason was holding up interaction. You all didn't see his hand but it included Orcish Bowmasters in addition to the Oppo Agent you did see.

it won ONE of the two games against 3 decks that represented very little interaction, specifically the atraxa player drawing quite a few cards yet having no respone to the nadu player multiple turns in a row. in a high level cedh game with top tier decks nadu is good, but not any more broken than other cedh decks.

cEDH is fun in its own way. No limits, do as much as you can to win, no hard feelings for what cards you play. We've had a lot of fast combo and midrange cEDH on the channel, so you haven't seen much of the fair stax and control decks. I'll be sure to bring Ellivere to a game. It's not for everyone but that's fine. This channel has always explored various ways to play EDH with everything from pauper and randomized commanders to cEDH.
