Love to see someone else playing my sweet lagoon mommy Muldrotha in cEDH. I've been coming back to her and really trying to make it work with hermit druid. Thanks for giving us another great game!
I really enjoy their masterpieces for that reason. I get it's a LOT on the editing front, hence the low number of videos, but they're some of my favorites for sure.
14:06 How did Alan tap Jaxis right away? I don’t believe he could have blitzed it in, as both blitz and the cast-for-free from Etali are both alternate casting costs, and you can’t pick two alternate casting costs (from what I’m aware)
Etali is in fact not an alternate casting cost. Youre casting it without paying its mana cost which means you can cast using alt costs. For example If an effect lets you cast spells without paying their mana cost you can cast flashback spells with said effect for free
@@joeyholubek3960 as i know you can't. You cant cast overloaded spells and they are alternate cost, so you can't cast blitz. You can however pay additional cost, like X spells or buyback.
6:22 Could TK have let the Phimage resolve and with the ETB targeting Dockside have responded with Culling the Weak, preventing Eric from getting a Tymna because Phimage would die due to state based actions?
As much as I think Alan is a supercool dude... I feel like if you manage to cast your 7 mana commander with its splashy ETB, hit a tutor, then copy said commander and its splashy ETB, and still not manage to win the game - perhaps the commander isn't quite cEDH-viable 😢
@@ModAnonMTG which is definitely okay. But it does have some tension with the stated goals of cEDH as a format. And whereas in regular competitive formats, playing a suboptimal deck only hurts yourself, in cEDH, you're also affecting the balance of the pod as a whole. Anyway, not judging anyone, and I fully realise this isn't a qualitative difference but a matter of degree. But I felt it was worth pointing out.
Having fun is the motivation. Winning is also part of the motivation. I also understand that 8 random cards isn't necessarily gonna win. I think in non tournament cEDH games it's a perfect viable commander.
