The more the merrier am I right

Cheers! Makes me feel less bad. - Alex

@@TheSpikeFeeders That first turn should've made you feel bad enough.

Personally, not a fan of the bastion intro.

​@@enoesiwpersonally, big fan of bastion intro. Bought eight on Black Friday because of it.

I just randomly mutter "Solid as a Rock!!!" from time to time and people sometimes stare at me awkwardly for some reason (I'm French 🇫🇷) 😅

Hi Pieninja! Thanks for the comment! I've gone through and fixed up 2023, and I'll get one for 2024 up soon. Thanks for the nudge. Cheers! - Alex

With infinite mana and infinite creature tutors, even if Felidar or Kiki-Jiki got dealt with he could go find something else.

I think with no responses to that point there's probably a certain level of not wanting to add to video length by adding extra steps that are (seemingly) irrelevant. If I was playing in a tournament I would probably still grab the protection, but I get the impulse to be concise in a gameplay video.

Sure - it was just question to "learn" best play. I still think with the editing, its just like extra 2 seconds, and shows the "best" play - but i can be rong :) For me it was just personal question if my line of thinking is correct or not. @@chrisbedrin3618

Sure - Still you maby play 2nd. Felidar effect (Bell-Ringer?) - so if two enemy have "respond" in therm of point remuval, it could stop the win con (Iam rong?) Tx for repsond :) @@Sheer_Falacy

TL;DR - What Eliot did - going directly for the win con - was optimal play given the situation. Nobody had removed food chain before Rocco resolved, so it wasn't going to be removed after. Basically, once infinite mana had been established, protection was irrelevant. If there had been a silence effect or a removal for food chain (the only card weak to removal in this combo) it would have been cast when either Rocco was cast to pull Squee, or Squee itself was on the stack after the first Squee sacrifice / re-cast. Any removal after the infinite mana was there would have only forced Eliot to pull a different combo, which made zero difference to the rest of the table other than wasted time, and Silence in general would have only given the table another turn to deal with the Food Chain (which is what would have happened had Eliot pulled GA or Ranger-Captain instead). And remember, Rocco doesn't choose which creature you pull upon cast, it chooses upon resolution - if a Silence or Food Chain removal would have been cast with Rocco on stack, Eliot could have gone for any other creature 3 mana or less to set him up for next turn.

Jeweled lotus just inherently gives you mana because that's its ability, but he didn't care about that, he cared about triggering Mayhem Devil.

Just like when I have to use proxies, you could also use the adjective "Broke"
