    OK, we are bad at Magic. With Alexios, you can still chump if the table agrees by assigning all the damage to the blocking creature rather than trampling over to face. Also, spot removal is very cope with Alexios because it gets 3 combats a turn cycle as soon as it's recast. You really want a Darksteel Mutation / Imprisoned in the Moon effect.

    Lovingly, respectfully, you got punished for not playing targeted removal. Once Alexios gets removed once or twice casting it becomes extremely punishing to recast. Are board wipes generally better? Yes. Are there times you need cheap targeted removal to dismantle an engine? Yes

    You guys are forgetting how cheap this commander is, to make him not exist each player must be able to remove it at least once, only when it's finally in 2 digits is it even difficult to cast. Also yes you can always ignore your own trample damage if the table agree but that's just you giving free life to an opponent

    A big thing that almost everyone (including in this game) forgets, is that trample damage is a ‘may’. Even if the creature has trample, the controller can choose to deal all damage to a 1/1 blocker and none to the player, so if your opponents work together, Alexios isn’t as fast as he looks

    I kind of hate that fact- I’ve been around mtg for 20 years so I know how stuff works, but it feels gross that the card will operate completely differently and be more oppressive at less experienced tables than veteran player ones. (Obviously there are benefits to being more experienced but this feels like the biggest unintuitive gap in player experience in a while)

It's that they win, and while I could do you the kindness of letting you chump block with a 1/1 on your word that you will do the same, hitting you in the face or forcing you to trade multiple creatures benefits me.

Dress Down comes in, layers loss of all abilities, then the trigger resolves switching control and granting Haste to a creature with no abilities? Yay for layers!? I might be wrong here but I think the stack can be resolved in a way that lets the game state be maintained? He definitely timed it wrong though, cause you're right based on how he did it in-game

    Very fun games! I think Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos is really good but I still think Slicer is stronger because double strike is huge. Slicer also has haste and you can play for 1 mana less initially. Sad Richard's deck didn't get to do anything but loving to see the guys just attacking him and not letting him silver tongue his way to victory. I'm wondering though, how does Seth's The Capitoline Traid deck if he doesn't draw Krak-Clan Ironworks? It seems very difficult to get 30 mana value worth of cards artifacts into the graveyard without it.

    Alexios seems like one of the most unfun cards to play against I’ve seen in a while. Even if you run heavy interaction you can’t guarantee people will use it, they might wanna use Alexios to kill someone, the trample makes it impossible to chump, and it’s not too expensive so a mono deck can probably get out enough treasure and mana to just keep playing it. The equipment is useful but it literally just grows on its own and becomes massive. Slicer was already annoying but this is something else.

    "If you swords it you're just down a card!" says Richard as he dies to an aggressive commander with absolutely no protection. Thank goodness he didn't go down 1 card, though. That'd basically just be a fog! I think this shows how myopic commander clash has gotten. They've done the thing where they keep trying to go over the top of each other with value and power because Commander is a "slow" format but if someone is actually legitimately aggressive they just fold like cheap laundry.

    @@winter945 It's kind of funny because Richard has such a good winrate so he knows what he's doing in this select group and has been gaming the system for awhile. In general he's right to build his deck this way, it's just everyone's always playing his game instead of punishing him. But when punishment happens he gets hit the hardest.

    ⁠@@TwoToneShoes Richard has been playing in a vacuum and therefore is creating a scenario where his “insight” and “knowledge” becomes much more narrow. Personally I just tune him out when he says silly little things like that; same with Crim when he decides to play kingmaker.

    Slicer style commanders can be fun, but I don't find them particularly fun as a viewer because the whole game necessarily becomes about that one commander. All other decks (except for whichever ends up in the 1v1) bately get seen. Of course targeted removal is the right answer for these kinds of decks, but then the slicer player does nothing. I have something like it, but its strictly a last game of the day "known challenge" style deck

    @@Shimatzu95 In order to attack with a creature, you need to either continuously control it from the start of the turn, or for it to have haste.

    Why did Alexios die to the Blasphemous Act in game 1 (18 min in the video)? His P/T was 22/22 (4/4 with 8 +1/+1 counters and the +10/+10 from Excalibur) which was large enough to live through the 13 damage from Blasphemous Act. Phil would have won on the next turn with his commander still being around and able to attack. Edit: Excalibur does not buff toughness.

    I know it is stated below, but just a reminder - the ATTACKING player assigns damage at the combat damage step. You can assign all damage from a huge creature like Alexios to the chump blocker and have NONE of the damage trample over. Crim, Seth, and Richard had a lot more agency in the game than they realized. And they play every week - most players will miss this fact!

    The way Slicer’s ability is phrased still doesn’t let the player who gains control of him sacrifice him though. Since it says “if you do” instead of “when you do” there isnt a window for the receiving player to sacrifice him.

With the change to paper, there's a lot more time that gets cut out and a lot less time dealing with MODO triggers, time that used to get filled with banter and chatting between the group. Seth's wrap-up questions here were relevant and intriguing and really helped show the highlights of Richard's deck that didn't pop-off as well as the flaws in Phill's deck for those who want to build it. Yes, we get more gameplay now, but I miss the slower, chill pace the games used to have.

    A big thing that almost everyone (including in this game) forgets, is that trample damage is a ‘may’. Even if the creature has trample, the controller can choose to deal all damage to a 1/1 blocker and none to the player, so if your opponents work together, Alexios isn’t as fast as he looks
