CEDH Gameplay with Jesper Ejsing! | Anje vs Golos vs Najeela vs Kenrith 

If it was me, I would've made that mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you! I missed that line and was really confused

Very nice, didn't think about that

Thank you for this! Completely missed that!

Oooooooohhhhhhh

The man gave Thassa's Oracle form. Obviously a beast! haha

i agree wholeheartedly

Indeed 😂

Watched him giving your bunch a tough time on a couple of occasions. Zany games

I laughed out loud

Indeed, the single best card, master of trample

Reprintosaurus Rex, Terror of the Limited

Last time I played Colossal Dreadmaw in EDH, I had multiple judges come over to the table telling me it was banned. My table was about to scoop until we got the ruling.

It's like he was saying "I could win with warriors, bit I didn't draw those"

He should’ve done what his deck was doing and attacked for the win. That’s so much more satisfying than randomly drawing your combo

@@anthonyross7587 True, but its also fun to prove you can do both. Sorta like extra credit on the win lol.

Don't love that he chose the boring dumb bankable way instead

@@anthonyross7587 Huh? Jesper tutored the combo a few turns earlier

Came here to post exactly the same thing.

I've noticed that in cedh the graveyard is just an extension of hand. And you should never think otherwise. RIP suuuuucks in edh.

I play a lot of golgari and sultai decks, so the yard is important. Never leave without my trusty riftsweeper

Same

He play hate bears on extra turns

He decided to pull out his special one for the camera, since he was winning with it already.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG haha, good to know

Truly an icon of the game

Okay but for real; colossal dreadmaw is one of the first cards I played with, and it singlehandedly got my Dino-loving friend into the game. We still put it in decks and reference it in jest, because to us it really is iconic. Who doesn’t love a big fat trampling dinosaur?

Hey, Colossal Dreadmaw is great. It is to green what Counterspell is to blue and Lightning Bolt is to red. Fight me.

@@jimmykeffer7401 Oh I love Dreadmaw. It won me a Masters 25 draft.

@@seanmurphy3430 Oh i highly agree with you. Dreadmaw won me a Masters 25 draft.

Kenrith would make him draw a card and lose in response to the Thassa trigger, I believe

I think it’s because Kenrith can activate his draw ability while Thassa’s Oracle (or it’s ability) is the stack after resolving Consultation. This will cause Jesper to lose from deckout before Oracle activates its ability.

Gosh, what a heads up play. I wonder how many people would have just gone for Silence->Thassa->Consultation without thinking about Kenrith

@@mikehalloran93 facts. A lot of people seem to overlook that kenrith can target anybody with the draw ability and it’s hilarious when people forget about it

Yeah I def would have just went for the win and lost. Thanks for the replys

Not true. The deck was very deliberately matched together in powerlevel. just the fact that Josh draws more than 18 extra cards in the game should tell you that its a fair game.

It has a very low deckbuilding cost at only 3 slots so it's slotted into decks as opposed to building around it. The decks that do build around it make their decks incredibly proactive and fast because the combo is only 3 mana often also lowering their cmc to leverage better Ad Naus

I also wanna know. Notice us, senpai!!!!!

@@1TonyinCA From now on I will name Fblthp...

Funny! He named Compost because he loved how much work it was doing in our previous games that day!

I wonder if he put extra damage on Kenrith expecting Folger to try to save it with +1/+1 counters, may have put an extra damage on Bloom Tender to force Folger to save it also

If my math's correct his opponents had 15 toughness worth of creatures, so he probably spread some extra damage on the bloom tender and the Kenrith, forcing Folger to save only one of them.

@@pietroventuroli5091 yep. I couldnt win with kenrith on the board needed him out of the picture

1 of each basic

@@johnveit2139 Wow. No wonder I see CEDH decks use weird ETB tapped depletion lands!

@@waltercardcollector they rarely play etb tapped depletion lands, unless using monocolour decks. OG duals, fetches, shocks, 5-colour producing lands, player-check lands (ex. Morphic Pool) and painlands are the ones played. Oh yeah, and Gemstone. Also when playing 4 or 5C, there is just 1 maybe 2 basics in the deck (obv not the same basics and/or you can use snow-covered basics that counts as a different card for tainted pact).

@@omegacreate Oh wow right. Thanks.

reversal was the only logic imprint as it would give infinite mana for win...why imprint counterspell instead of just holding up counterspell?

Normally you just hard lose. You have to pack some sort of removal for these elements.

Kenneth would have forced the draw before Oracles trigger resolved.

​@@IceForPvMGaming Ah, nice! Didn't think about King Kenny's ability.

Yeah... me too. We pass month crying about flash hulk then this shit appear...

@@Devsho83 exactly...

We used to, but it adds a lot to the production time.

fetchlands dont have the symbols of mana but it tells you what to look for in text.

Thanks, so he plays it only to search for mountain or swamp.

@@danielkuttel7867 yep, and he can use them to search for a Badlands or a Blood Crypt since those are Swamp Mountains

I drew the card, needed to win with it if i could

Yes. This was recorded before the golos ban.

Kenneth.

@@IceForPvMGaming Kenneth, the guy who came back.

Kenrith's ability would make him lose the game, he needed to kill it before going for the win.

Normally it would be seen as very bad, but its power is actually quite good and Anje decks have ways around it.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG i definitely don’t disagree with the power level of necropotence, but in a deck where basically the only goal is to discard a worldgorger dragon to win the game i don’t see how something that exiles all discarding would help. Especially in red and black where it’s super difficult to get rid of enchantments. What are the ways to play around it?

@@dajosh96 When you discard a madness card, you discard it into exile, circumventing the Necropotence exile clause. The necropotence exile is a trigger, and can be responded to. This is where necromancy comes into play, as you can cast it as an instant in response to the exile trigger. This allows you to discord worldgorger and bring it back with Necromancy in order to start the loop.

So it essentially sacrificing having two other cards to combo with worldgorger in the deck with to aggressively dig through the deck faster. I didn’t even think about how the exile on necro is a trigger. Thanks for the info!

It was his backup plan in case Ryan countered Oracle. He was winning either way.

I could, but trying to take a win with my own Thassa was very much my focus

Jesper what card did you name on Demonic Consultation, just curiosity?

@@1TonyinCA Giant growth! one card i never play

Who is Brian?

It is the most efficient combo at just 3 mana..there are other combos but it surely fits in many decks and both cards are really good on their own (especially dconsult)

Some talk about banning the card and I agree.

@@batardglouton5455 My guess is that the RC won't ban it b/c this is card is shaping the meta of cEDH only, not the broader EDH landscape. That is why cEDH needs its own ban list. However, they banned Flash, so who knows. Things are evolving in EDH.

always has been.

@@datlad35960 always has been boring or solved?

The lack of removal is a common cEDH problem and for a good reason. It's usually a very bad deal to lose a card one for one, slowing you down and letting the other player who didn't interact getting ahead while you spent a card and mana to deal with this. I still agree that we should run more single removal spell.

@@batardglouton5455 I can 100% see where you're coming from. Resources, resource management, and timing are all integral parts of winning a cEDH game. My issue is that if you don't have a counterspell in hand to deal with a problematic card and no one else in the pod has one either, there is almost no way of getting rid of those problems. Yes, we see cards like Fire Covenant, Nature's Claim, Toxic Deluge, and Assassin's trophy to help deal with problems but that's only 4 cards out of so many options. Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Rapid Hybridization, Beast Within, Pongify, vindicate, etc. Those cards very rarely get played if even put into the decklist! Some of these have high mana costs and I get why they aren't the first choice but that then means you have fewer ways to stop someone from winning. In my mind, more answers and ways of dealing with your opponents' win conditions is never a bad thing.

That's something I have often noticed when watching cEDH games, I feel like they undervalue spot removal.

@@charlesmaillho367 counterspells are always better than removal. If you run a bunch of removal you'll never be able to win or stop fish consult

@@charlesmaillho367 look at all the things lightning bolt removes, and that greedy Ad Naus too ;).
