Crim and Serge run the cEDH gauntlet | Malcolm/Kediss VS Atraxa VS Najeela VS Talion 

Nice catch

Oohhhhhhh!! Yeah good catch I thought it was a creature I mean the name sounds like a creature right?

No. No it doesn't. Ascension is a verb, not a noun.​@@bpchongo-.-

​@@damo9961You're annoying

I always think it's a creature. The art looks like it can be a creature.

I could never... >;3

It's a losing proposition to play UB Control in commander

Yeaahhh. People priority bully cEDH control players a lot so they have counter magic for their own wins. Greedh

I appreciate the compliment! I don't often get to jam CEDH so it feels good to try to navigate through the format.

@@Dracomandriuthus It's the two best colours in cEDH that also has the best win con in the format. I agree it's really hard to play Dimir Control in Casual and not get stomped, but in cEDH you can just play all of the best cards while never having to worry about mana fixing because you're in two colours. Dimir in cEDH is like playing Simic in Casual imho, you technically have restrictions but you're combining great ramp with excellent card draw and interaction, so both tend to be really good in their tier. Also, Crim is very public about not being a sweaty Commander player, that's why he plays tons of cards that attract attention, the thing is in this cEDH game nobody could build up aggro to eliminate him early, and his life gain just took over. I also think he played his cards quite well, their is no question IMHO that Blue Control is about the hardest thing to play correctly (it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why my counters seemed to always be bad cards, but my opponent's would often steal games), so kudos to Crim for a good game! Final point, if people are priority bullying you you don't have to play stuff and they're using up their resources. If it happens once in awhile okay, but if it happens every game I'm just going to let the pod die until it stops. Priority bullying is like king making in cEDH, it's bad sportsmanship even if it's very hard to police (I think in strict play it's grounds for a 'slow play' call if you're abusing it).

I've lost because I did my turn in the wrong order

That Sheoldred too!

I once lost 100 life by casting a non creature spell due to a creature my opponent copied 50 times that makes opponents loose 2 life if they cast a non creature spell.... it was just hilarious tbh 😂

We had a blast, and we got enough filmed to take us through the end of the year!

Let’s go crim!!!

Talion is my favorite deck I've built by far. Though mine is definitely friendlier than yours.

Nice Scowl shirt!

theyre an amazing band and throw a killer live show. Happy to know you're into their jams!@@Hellcreature36

I love Talion but I definitely built this to be more competitive .... just ignore a few pet cards I've got lol!@@Venjamin

Glad someone else caught that

And that he was going to add non CEDH pieces!

Everyone but Talion, lol. He was still sitting pretty with a mitt full of cards and no major threats.

Found your alt account Alex

You guys have alt accounts?

Faerie Mastermind only draws on the second time an opponent draws a card, so it'd only give Crim one draw from the Glinthorn trigger, not a draw each time

@@OrionKnight78 shit, u rite

So did Serge move? Like away from the LRR area, to another part of Canada?

​@@triggerdudeHe's temporarily holed up in Alberta as a result of Victoria house-buying issues.

@@steveheist6426 Oh ok. Well hope that gets settled soon.

It's spelt wrong on the card.

I got it off a website called Hardaddy.

@@alexmcgregor8658 of course it was called that 😂😂

We flew him out to be on the channel! This was filmed in October and the weather was gorgeous. We had a really long, mild fall this year.

It only triggers when an opponent draws their second card of the turn, so it's typically only triggering for the one active opponent. If he activated it a second time though, it would trigger off the other two for sure.

Yep!

Normally there's no functional difference, but LED's oracle text specifies that it can only be activated at instant speed, which prevents you from activating it while you are casting a spell.

@@TheSpikeFeeders Thanks for the additional detail!

Jeskas allows you to play, not specifying how exactly you cast, and so you would be allowed to use an alternate cost if the card or some other effect allowed you to e.g. you can evoke fury out of jeska's will

I'm also a Kings fan, that was a sports joke

LED specifically says Activate only as an instant. This means that it cannot be activated in the process of casting a spell/paying a cost compared to other mana abilities like the chromatic star Andrea used to filter for blue. The chromatic star play works because in the process of casting a spell determining the cost occurs before having to pay the cost.

@@calinlacy6187 ohh so there's a special rule for the LED. Thank you for explaining it to me, got a little bit confused there.

Despite hitting the battlefield three times in this game, she was never cast. Came in through Eldritch Evolution, then reanimated twice.

You cast Demonic Consultation, followed by cracking Lion's Eye Diamond in response to Diabolic Intent. No cheat required.

Except all the fast mana, OG duals, free counterspells, tutors, food chain, thoracle…

He takes his entire turn, im not sure what you mean.

You use Lion's Eye Diamond in response to the Tutor that gets you the card you want to cast with the Diamond. Serge merely forgot to explain this basic LED pattern.

Given that simultaneously more numbers than I could say in my lifetime have names, and there are also an infinite number that don't, I thought proportion was as close as I could get while maintaining any semblance of humor.

@@alexmcgregor8658 (sorry about this but I am very much a math nerd). All the numbers that have names are called the describable numbers. There are infinite describable numbers but this is the smallest kind of infinity called a countable infinity. However there are indescribable numbers that don’t have names. These are a much larger infinity called the continuum. If a number is picked at random there is probability 0 a describable number will be picked.

Kediss' ability causes Malcolm to deal damage

“Whenever a commander you control deals combat damage to an opponent, it deals that much damage to each other opponent.” Kediss causes the damaging Commander to deal the damage, so it all works out
