I really like the card counter. I have a solution but its a chore to do: you know the amount at the beginning of the game. so whenever someone uses a card that means -1 card and whenever they draw a card +1 card. Or you get a card camera.

I love the new cards in hand counter, keep up all the good work!!

As noted otherwise in the comments: Arcane Denial would still resolve, the spell wouldn't be countered but the other text (both players drawing cards) would happen on the next upkeep. Unknown but likely would be relevant as those cards were needed to answer the board.

Been waiting to see a new Yisan list. He’s my favorite cEDH commander. I like this list before I watch.

hey great game just wanted to mention vale of summer stops all counterspells not just blue and black ones! otherwise great content as always guys love the work :)

Thanks for the video, I love your guys' content! Quick critique though: have you guys considered putting the commander damage trackers above/below the name/commander bars instead of above/below the life trackers? It seems that almost no one has cards vertically adjacent to the name/commander bars (except for Nate here and his lands could be pushed slightly up to match everyone else's) while the commander damage trackers cover the graveyard which always has cards in it for everyone. It's nothing experience ruining either way, just a small nitpick.

the hand size track is a nice touche

Splinter twin did it again!

I've probably seen 10+ games with Yisan now and I've never once seen this deck win (or even do much of relevance). I just can't help but wonder why it's as popular as it is, given all the Setup you need to actually go off (tons of mana/dorks and untap with Yisan in play). In your opinion, what makes Yisan good and worth running above other options (most notably Chulane, as noted below)? Looking at the decklist I noticed it's very similar to what I run with Chulane (Just a ton of mana dorks + Aluren, Sabertooth and Cloudstone Curio to go infinite) and I honestly much prefer Chulane for a deck that tries to win via this route. Reasons include that you don't actually need to untap with it or give it haste, you get access to white and blue which is very valuable, and you have insane card draw with Chulane which easily gives you as much consistency as Yisan tutor chains in most games.

@Sliver_Boi

4 жыл бұрын

Mainly I have yisan because I used to have a casual freyalise elffball deck and that morphed into this. I like him cause the mono colored aspect, while yes it does limit what I can have, is fun cause most people try to shy away from mono colored decks so I get to be different. Yisan can also win increadibly fast if things like turn 2 spy glasses and such aren't played. If I can get yisan down turn 1-2 it is very reasonable that I can win within the next couple turns. And with yisan you have some built in protection because all the pieces you tutor for with him are put straight into the battlefield and not cast so you get around them getting countered on the way down. So to me it still feels fast enough to go toe to toe with decks like chulane for this type of win con.

Just watching, but doesnt collector ouphe stop all artifact abilities from activating? The mana rocks are turned off. Just something I noticed.

The're being tapped with urza's activated abillity

During the dip to black between commanders during the intros, you have things fading at different rates (a tad bit sloppy). If you fade up to a black solid covering all other layers, the effect is much cleaner.

Autumn's Veil doesn't make counterspells "fizzle" - the part of the spell's effect that says "counter target spell" is ignored, but everything else will have its usual effects, as the spell's target is still legal. I know it sounds confusing, but here's the thing: "can't be countered" is different than "can't be targeted". In the same way, if you target a creature with Polymorph and the targeted creature becomes indestructible in response (or if it was already indestructible to begin with), Polymorph will still resolve as normal: the creature won't be destroyed, but its controller will still reveal cards from the library, put a new creature on the battlefield if one is revealed, and shuffle. Therefore, Arcane Denial failed to counter the spell, but the card drawing in the next upkeep should've still happened for both Nate and Adam.

I see cEDH Urza I click

Just incase anyone was wondering, benefactors draught is pronounced draft like draft beer or draft potion

Blue pod is such a fun deck.

I'd love to see a Marasil competetiv deck

i really think the deciever exarch play was really good because no one would counter it even if it was a combo piece because it stopped the other person from winning the game. playing it then let him have enough mana for a counter spell to protect the combo

great game, and comments. just wondering how often the najeela deck goes mulligan or mana screw with 29 lands . *i kne he has ramp, mostly at 2 mana, but it is still so low , in my view.

When u said veil of summer makes his spell uncounterable by blue spells, it could be mistaken that veil only makes spells uncounterable by blue or black spells but its actually uncounterable period. The other effects of veil is specific to blue and black spells.

Collector Ouphe was the true mvp... that card shut down the urza deck and also allowed to combo off with the spellskite on the battlefield... (for people that don't know, you can change the target of the splinter twin with the spellskite enchanting it instead of the deceiver)

I think that it should be clarified that the mana that was used to activate Urza was from his mana ability. It's quite possible to see the Mana Vault being tapped for mana, then look at Ouphe which is still on the board at that point, and be very confused as to what's going on. Already mentioned is that Arcane Denial should still have resolved even through Veil of Summer. One last thing - why enchant Najeela with Pattern of Rebirth? Going to the command zone is a replacement effect, so that the next time she would have been removed she actually wouldn't have died, and wouldn't have triggered the Pattern. If I were the player I'd probably enchant the Mindblade Render, because it's a great card and a threat on its own in a way. Damn that Sorcerous Spyglass really did a ton of work this game. Wow.
