13:50 You had the KCI combo right there. I’ll explain for anyone in the comments that’s interested. All that’s required is Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, KCI, and two different 0 mana artifacts. It’s fine if you have a 1 mana and a 0 mana artifact, though. Just depends if you can make enough mana to recast your creatures. Step 1: declare you will cast a spell (in this case, Mishra’s Bauble). Step 2: you now activate mana abilities. Sacrifice Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever and Mox Opal SIMULTANEOUSLY to KCI (because that’s how mana abilities work, even if casting a 0 mana spell). Tap Mox Opal for mana before this and you generate 7 in total. Step 3: Use Scrap Trawler’s triggers to bring back the Mox Opal and Myr Retriever. Use Myr Retriever’s trigger to bring back Scrap Trawler. Step 4: Recast Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler with 5 of the floating mana. When you go to cast Mox Opal, repeat steps 2-4 but looping with Mishra’s Bauble instead. You get 6 mana instead of 7, but you’re still mana positive. This works because mana abilities can be activated simultaneously. By sacrificing multiple artifacts at the same time, you put the death triggers on the stack at the same time. This allows you to let the artifacts target each other, which wouldn’t be possibly if you were sacrificing them sequentially like what was being done in the video. He had to jump through many more hoops by sacrificing sequentially when doing things simultaneously is the only way to make it truly an infinite combo. Thanks for tuning into my TED Talk.
I'm brand new to magic, and I have a Ashnod's Altar combo that works the same way and I have to regularly come back to make sure I'm doing the combo right so thank you for this comment 😅
That artifact deck was a well-made, properly lubricated clockwork mechanism, and I absolutely applaud the pilot on his skillful play and ultimate victory. It’s also the kind of endless value churn availing itself the second-most overused alternate wincon in Commander, which I would prefer to not play at all than play against. Mill in EDH is either absolutely futile in a 4-player game (If built as anything but a win-out-of-nowhere instant decking Interaction Check), or it’s the aforementioned pop off Interaction Check. An absolutely legit way to brew and play the game, let it be said, though. You fought a good fight, Sovereign. Loved to see that Akroma’s Will. Managorger Hydra is such a fun creature, but All Glory to Forgotten Ancient Forever and Ever, amen.
Spoilers! I wanna believe that if Nate had killed Matt, Brenden wouldn't have combo'd off and killed him, but I know better than to assume something like that lmao. Great game though. Poor Jason getting the bat as always.
i hate artifact decks and super friends decks so much xD artifact decks especially just always seem to find a route to victory when backed into a corner xD
Matt had a revealed Myr Retriever in hand and an Inventor's Fair in play. The combo was pretty much face up at that point. I think people have the perception that stuff like KCI loops come out of nowhere because artifact decks don't tend to have a huge board, but Matt did some serious foreshadowing this game. Feel for Nate though, had to take someone out and both were setting up for scary turns. Great video - really like this set.
Love this channel, quality of your game play videos are great. Nate definitely should have started knocking Matt down earlier because he had a lot more going on than Brenden.
Minor misplay with mat fetching a sacred foundry from poluted delta but he had color fixing allready so not a big deal great game fabtastic interactions and gane talk
Jason boy, this guy nate isn't your friend, all the games he attacks you first and keep doing it until you lose, kick him from the videos for you safe man.
