Commander, but with ZERO Politics | Commander Clash S16 E18 

It is good to know Richard's renowned skill is not actually politics, but just straight up mindcontrol. "Hey Seth, could you nuke your own board, kill my two opponents, and have 1 card left in hand?" "Why yes, no problem!"

Richard literally built a DIY field of the dead deck

Phil being worried about politicking on accident when his only politicking id usually pleading to not get killed on turn 6

i need a video compilation of all of Crim's Magic lingo. "Watery Dave" absolutely killed me.

Richard not running impact tremors seems criminal, it also fits with the Dune theme perfectly.

One of the things I've missed the most about the old format was all the off-topic conversations you'd have. Glad to have some in this game.

*Seth casts Blasphemous Act* Richard: "This is an extermination. They're picking my family off one by one."

Watching them try to not accidentally politic is hilarious

"This is not politics, but..." Week

No politics week AKA Phil week.

I like Phil's "dead" token, with the little sad face :)

I always felt like whenever a Commander player brought up draw-hate plus wheels they were just capping to defend the fact they want to greedily draw a million cards. Glad to see Phil confirm those suspicions.

The worst part about this series is it only happens once per week :( Awesome episode!

This first game proves that either Richard is truly Muad'dib and can see the future, or that the crew truly just wants to hand him the game because everyone is afraid of killing the codfather lol.

I think it's telling that in zero politics week Crim dies first twice. Also I love the deck Phil build, I have to play that myself. That looked like fun.

“Domain expansion? I thought that was a modern deck?...” -Seth probably better known as Saffron Olive 2024

That first game was an emotional roller coaster. What a game

The Dune Movie Deck hardest part is picking your Shai-Hulud. I like Novablast Wurm even though a boardwipe attacker is terrible in go-wide, because his passing really does cleanse the earth.

So, Crim played the mirror on his three opponents, and none of them liked it. They all wanted to draw more than one card; they all wanted to play stax spells; Crim just benefitted from those things instead of the original player who attempted to. In the end, Crim really wasn't the threat. The other players brought the threat and didn't like it aimed back at themselves! Phil just got so angry at all the stax pieces, but on his next turn after Crim lost, he was literally giggling about running out his own stax pieces! Crim, how do you stay so calm showing up to play commander so often just to be killed early? It's like each game, you start by saying, "How many turns can I last this time?" GG, bro! GG!

Crim definitely said words, and I understood about 10% of them this week. lol

Lots of comments on the all politics video last week said it was their favourite episode. But to me, this was miles ahead of that. Happy to see Phil doing Phil things and not dying turn 6.

Seth’s lack of LotR movie knowledge after seeing the movies is staggering.

Gollum is not a goblin. He is a Stoor, one of the three kinds of Hobbits. He is also twisted by the One Ring unnaturally extending his life far beyond what it should be (much like how the Ring-Wraiths were once Men)

Phils play style is straight up what has started Crim on his vigilante arc. Fancy thinking it is cool to draw 15 cards a rotation but then being happy to lose just to get rid of a player for stopping that. Ohh, Nice Sheoldred for a follow up.

Seth shuffling, tapping mana, and upside down lands hurt my ocd

Poor Phil, so many missed authority of consuls triggers

lets gooooo best commander channel on yt

Richard's winrate this season its just insane

That Dune themed deck was crazy as hell- too fun!

On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" pure anarchy! Will Richard produce harmony among the sands or will Seth just burn it all down? Tune-in to find out!

No politics seems difficult

Anyone says anything Everyone else: THAT'S POLITICS!

Im just waiting for the day to watch a video and crim has a full beard lol

Of course Richard would cut a deal on no politics week

Objective: Failed Catastrophically

Richard's Dune deck playing a SNOW creature is a serious flavor fail.

Satoru the infiltrator looks so much like Todo in the showcase art

Zero politics, but politics topic is brought up every turn LOL

8:12 “My hand is kind of doo-doo.” That’s what happens when your deck is filled with bad cards. 😂

Richard missed that elesh norn enters tapped because of the authority of consuls. Maybe seth would have lived but not too sure.

44:05 seth I recognize that ancient copper dragon from your unboxing video xD

Loving Crim's Geto & Gojo commander. I made JJK alters for a bunch of my commanders as well!

my favorite part was seth saying "okay, domain expansion"

Phil can't help but politic against himself 🙄

I love Mandate of Peace. It catches so many people off guard

Seth's Azusa proxy/token/playmats when?

The best commander show

22:29 The atomics of House Atreides hitting the Shield Wall

The amount of Authority of the consuls triggers Phil missed is crazy. lol

I can’t believe Richard played a dune deck like 2 weeks after I made mine, dune sweep baby

Why did Phil's dragon make treasures if Richard prevented its damage?

Love Richard’s deck so much. LISAN AL GAIB!!!

They are playing "try not to choke and give the game to Richard" and are failing every single time The moment Seth said "I'll kill Crim and Phill" I knew Richard had won

If I was Seth. I wouldn’t have cast the DARKNESS, just to not help Richard

Phil missed so much life gain from authority xD

Those games were off the hook. I frickin love no politics. It stop ganging up, copiloting and coaching which is really frustrating. Play your deck as intended, respond at your own will- this was fair magic and fun as hell to watch😊

0:24 Ironic to play the Dune deck in the zero politics game lmao

Correction the Chancellor gives you the Goblin on the first upkeep not your first upkeep.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Crim plays Breach the Multiverse, couldn't Phil have done something along this line: Crim: Plays Breach, gets Notion Thief plus three other creatures. Phil: Orders triggers from compost and Faerie Artisan so he gets his own copy of Notion thief (Assuming this works since Crim's stolen creatures technically come in at the same time). Crim: Crim's Notion Thief triggers off Phil's Compost triggers, thus triggering Phil's Notion Thief copy to steal the draws back. Since Notion thief's replacement effects only work once per instance of card draw, Phil still would have gotten his Compost triggers. I'm not a judge and I'm not critiquing how anyone played the game, I just think about these things.

I wonder if Richard will read the Dune books and see how he feels when Paul's son becomes a psychic human sandworm hybrid emperor who marries his sister. Shit gets wild.

42:20 what a beautiful sight. Crim out of the game first. Richard with weird dune proxies, Seth with an upside down Sokenzan next to a right way up Sulfurous spring next to an upside down command tower as Phil says. "I can finally draw cards again 😍" as he literally kisses his card. Commander clash is the best

Good stuff. Love the show

I feel like its almost objectively right to just kill phil every game from the outset. He plays all gas and no removal.

Crimmm I gotta know. What rarity is your Baby Dragon? I think given that the text is glowing its either the Ultra Rare or the Secret but it's hard to tell from camera distance.

Gollum isn't a goblin, it's a kithkin

"thats a COOL commander..." LOL

I need to see Richards deck list, for Reasons.

Crim saying Domain Expansion instead of clash on is gold

Noticed Phil missed the decayed zombie triggers a few times unless Void Winnower turns those off?

For once I agree with Richard..... Dune part 2 is the greatest film ever made.

Richard is on a magic card. Look at Jiang Yanggu.

Authority of counsuls life gain totally ignored

Finally, someone's taking politics out of games 😋

Goro goro and satoru is my favorite deck I built :)

YOOO RICHARD PLAYING MY FAVORITE COMMANDER LETS GO

How silly of Seth to think Gollum is a goblin, he's clearly a dwarf.

Tomer would have been too OP on the no politicking episode.

Amazing Gollumblin token

Would love to see a proper clash on from the group one of these days.

Gollum is not a goblin but is maybe in the process of becoming one? The first orcs were corruptions of elves, and Gollum is mid process of corruption by the ring. So maybe sort of? LotR lore-knowers, corrections welcome

Phil missed 2 token triggers? Decayed zombie and dragon?

What was stopping Phil's tokens created by Faerie Artisans from being exiled? Whenever someone casts a new creature the old ones are gone. Was I missing something?

33:08 Phil missed his Komposthaufen triggers edit: nevermind 😂

Crim is a treasure

It's only Stax if my opponent plays it, lol.

MY BOY HAZEZON LETS GOOOOOO

Can we get the images of Crim's proxies?

Is it me or is Phil missing life gain triggers from the authority since he played it?

god seths accent is so strange the way he speaks just grills my gears a little lmao. "Commayneder claash" "sooper big creatures"

The way Seth taps his lands tilts me off the earth

Hi ! Does anyone has Richard's list for dune deck ?

Who knew that Phil would be just as bad as not politiking as he is at politiking1

I need those dune token now. WHERE CAN I FIND THEM.

Phil forgot many triggers :(

Richard won the first match cuz he was SANDbagging

Let's go!

He has desert power

Is there a way to get a hold of your guy's rule zero bannings?

45:36 ❤❤ hazezon is fine. YUMA is better with CATACLYSM.

Seth played an eldrazi!? That makes it twice this year? Or is it twice in 2 years. Not once every 2 years. Lol
