what an awesome pod of people! at 18:39 Cassius uses Mental Misstep on Flusterstorm. That only counters the flusterstorm itself, but not the storm trigger. Storm is a cast trigger, and flusterstorm has been cast. there is still allllllll the copies of flusterstorm that Joe M controls. fierce wouldve been countered and LED would resolve...

Yep, I was here looking for the same comment. Cash had no mana, and there were two spells cast before Flusterstorm, so the storm count would have = 3. However, Joe also played it wrong and did not pick his targets for the copies.

Cassius' deck is so overtuned compared to the other players. Maybe Joe's deck is up there but Gabriel is out here cracking a terramorphic expanse for a basic forest and playing an island for turn. Cassius is hitting a grim monolith into a jeweled lotus and playing teferi untapping and taking an extra turn ON TURN 2. Bro. Bring a more equally powered deck to actually make the game fun for your friends.

Looking at Joe's jacket; I can hear that old school Xmen arcade music in my head!

Watch Cassius play is hilarious because he has the cards, he has the internet to look up a cedh deck, he brings it to a table thats not even close to power level. Then Spends half the episode searching off a turn 2 tutor, then misplays a flusterstorm counter, then really has no idea how his combo works. The fact the host of show said something and still didn’t catch the fluster storm is crazy.

Let's be honest with ourselves. When we all see a new TTJ episode we all get excited! Joe brings the energy, and a fun aspect to the game every single episode. That is the reason we all ask for more!! But when an episode with Cassius comes out, we all groan in pain and agony. 10-20 minute turns, $40K decks, and turn 3-4 win combos every single time he plays... Even the players look bored out of their minds watching him play solitaire for an hour. Doesn't understand the combos in the deck either. "Rule 0" with his cEDH deck he won tourneys in..

It's painful and almost pointless to watch even if they all agree to the rule 0. Its just not as entertaining to see ONE player become the threat just because they are playing a stronger deck than the rest.

It's not even a personality thing, I am just tired of seeing the low variety in decks that he plays, too.

Four untouched pre-cons is the way to go.

Cash did a really bad job of explaining the Teferi-Chain Veil combo. Since Teferi's untap ability is a minus, Teferi will eventually die. Cash needs to generate enough mana to recast Teferi when this happens. Additionally, when Teferi is recast, all of the Chain Veil activations still apply to the 'new instance' of Teferi. He can use those additional activations to draw cards with Teferi's plus ability.

@jlyxxy8

He can't continue the loop if he ever does the plus on his original Teferi. He needs to do the minus in order to untap the Chain Veil so that he can continue to activate the Teferi. 1 Chain Veil activation = 1 Teferi activation, so if he ever uses the plus on the original Teferi, he won't have the capability to untap the Chain Veil and continue the combo. He needs the additional activations on a recast Teferi to ever activate the plus ability.

@@michaelchavis9770 key taps to untap, it's net zero in this loop. It also costs mana so even using it to untap vault doesn't improve the situation. He can untap the veil one time sure so he can plus one time extra but it's not necessary. He does have the combo but it was explained poorly. He has to net mana with the veil + teferi, minus until Teferi leaves, and it has to be enough mana to recast him including enough left over to pay for the commander tax. Every minus untaps veil, vault, crypt, and either island or sol ring. so (7 colourless), or (5 colourless + 1 Blue) minus 4 for the veil. If you can recast teferi once, you can loop forever since the new teferi can activate more times since chain veil adds activations for new planeswalkers counting every time the veil was activated this turn. Each activation is either +3 or +2 mana, and new teferi costs 8, so if he minuses at least 4 times before leaving the first time, he can loop forever with the additional veil stacks + recasts. Every extra veil stack can be used to plus teferi, netting more mana and more cards he is netting enough that each new teferi's commander tax is paid plus extra. It is infinite, since you can plus teferi with an empty deck, so he should be able to trivially win assuming he has a win condition in his deck somewhere.

Rule 0 means nothing if you aren't actually on the same power level. Rule 0 is about the fun/joy of the game. If you guys aren't enjoying getting dumpstered then we aren't either watching it. I should have turned it off when Joe said turn 5-7 and Cass said ehh idk about that. I get it, with turn 5 decks and a god hand, you can probably win turn three but that same thing shouldn't happen in the same way when you run it back. Have him play a powered down deck or have everyone build a deck on his power level. We shouldn't have to hear that he slow played it to "have mercy" on everyone either. Love the content Joe, I just want to see it ALL. I wanna see all the decks do SOMETHING. Appreciate the second game so we could see moar!

I do like Joe and his content. Also know they are friends and having fun and are chill with eachothers’ lists ahead of time and all, which magters the most. Though Cash coming in with the deck that took down his cEDH tournament twice against this pod is a bit funny ngl…

Bro Joe M's face says what we are all thinking when Cass is going off again on the second game. The power level seems way off on this episode. Still love ya thought Blackneto!!!! Keep up the beast work!!!

Damn, I thought this pod would only appear in my fan fiction! Thanks for all the content btw.

I like this table, because you got four different vibes. Cassius tunes his decks to the highest level. He will absolutely wreck your face with his decks. Gabriel just loves magic and hanging with the homies. He don't care that other people are popping off way hard. Joe loves his tribe and his commander. He wants to do Dragon things with his friends. Joe just wants to be a good host, because I've played enough with him to know that his Mishra will put in work, but it's not nearly as degenerate as his Blanka deck.

It’s just cassius’ way of having fun is a little different I don’t have a problem with it.But so everyone else will be quiet I think they need to see Cassius play with the other opponents playing a game full powered too.Yeah he takes a while but you can still tell he’s having fun.Gotta give him credit for that at least🤷🏻

the flusterstorm misplay will bother me for the rest of my night

I LOVE this, new subscriber. ya’ll really got me wanting to try EDH, looks fun! i would def want to see the same pod of guys but with similar power level decks! love the vibes!

Maybe next time we can see Joe and Gabriel play

Misplay: Flusterstorm creates copies of itself on the stack when it's being cast for each other spell that was cast before on the same turn (Storm), The storm count was 2 (LED and FG) he had 2 copies of Flusterstorm, and mental misstep would've only countered one copy of Flusterstorm, Cashes was tapped out.

There’s 2 types of competitive players.

And go through the combos because once you make a mechanical error you lose the game.. Back in my days the beauty of sequences combo came from knowing your deck… if you were playing against decks that could compete against Teferi I doubt you’ll win this easy. P.S you did not resolve the flutter storm correctly either…. Worst than playing against a combo deck is to play against a player who doesn’t now how their cards works… 😅

And Joe should have had the win a turn earlier. He could have sacrificed his elemental tokens after attacking to cast Squee from the graveyard to kick off the combo. Tokens have 0 CMC so each would be worth 1 mana.

Squee doesn't go to the graveyard from Food Chain, he goes to exile, then he can be cast from there. Also, Food Chain can supply "infinite mana" this way, but that mana can only be used to cast creature spells. Just small corrections.
