Raff vs Vish Kal vs Erebos vs Ghave EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering 

I looked it up!

MTG Muddstah its weird i actually naturally figured you knew what you were talking about. Lets just say i was far off with my pronunciation!

He knows threats are greater than removal ( :

*Venser gets ultimated a second time* Me: Wait, what do you mean I've only seen half the video?

But you know the results?

Who needs counterspells when your opponents only drop permanents, which you exile every time you cast any spell?

Threats are indeed better than removal

Have you heard of SpellTable? It’s free and easy to use and lets you play paper Magic online using a webcam or your phone as a camera. Prof made a video about on his channel

Or use Cockatrice its a free mtg deck builder and you can play what ever you'd want

@@Mtglilypads Eh, Magic kinda sucks online.

@@Bumbum_Inspector lol, no

@@MultiTaz333 Yes. Magic is infinitely better where it's meant to be played: at the table in person where each player is playing with cards from their personal collection.

He has successfully defended his PhD.

When you play Blue, you don’t need friends.

You don't need friends when you have victory

Friends are just opponents you haven't eliminated yet :D

Who needs friends when you can have SUPERFRIENDS?

Not much besides end the turn or phase skips.

Different strokes for different folks!

MTG Muddstah you right, you right. I’m just not a glutton for punishment.

@@malloryab I think what a lot of people miss out on is the audio in these games. We were all laughing and having fun. Ben, Malcolm and I were all trying our best to take Martin out and he was really having fun trying to not die.

If there was only one emblem, they'd have killed him together before their lands started to be hit, they were pretty close to killing him even with 2 emblems

He alternatively could have waited and struck a deal to let the Ascension make tokens to deal with the walkers, before blowing everything but them.

@@armoric that's a bad deal for Ascension player. I personally would have never accepted it.

Bohdan Yarema how is that a bad deal for the Ascension player? He had the mana open already to make two angels at the end of Andrew’s turn so he’s not out anything. He was also the only person with the ability to attack any walkers down. If Andrew keeps the disk around, I’d be happy to have an ascension. Ascension lets you put pressure on board without over extending into the disk. I feel like if I was the Ascension player I’d be the one asking Andrew to hold off and let me clear the walkers first since Andrew could eliminate my ascension and angels at will.

@@danriemer9724 it is a bad deal for Ascension player, because it creates situation where walkers are all 3 players' problem, but you are the only person spending resources to remove them. And after spending all these resources you would gain nothing for yourself, because disk would be popped, and all your angels would be gone. More than that, Erebos player can just play his God and simply draw more cards, advancing his wincon. When someone plays delayed wrath effect like disk, you need to don't care about it at all / have clear answer to it / pressure this player like hell to force him to blow it early. "Negotiate with terrorist" is not the correct way here. After all, as I already mentioned, if disk was popped in response to Tezzeret untapping lotus, there would be only one walker on the table and full turn cycle to prepare answers for it and future ones.

Bohdan Yarema I guess I disagree here. He could have made angels at the end of Andrew’s turn and killed Tez had the disk not been blown. Then with the ascension and disk on the field you aren’t really incentivized to cast anything else which allows you to hold up mana and make more angels. If Andrew let the ascension player kill Tez and blow the disk at the end step before his next turn the board state probably looks very similar minus one tezzeret, which I think would please everyone. Popping the disk on his own turn vs the ascension players really doesn’t do anything except take away the ability to pressure the walker. I think the ascension player, knowing he can lose his board at anytime, would be perfectly happy taking down a Tez. The issue with the delayed wrath here is that disk doesn’t clear everything. There is a clear threat that is going to be left behind after the disk goes, and the disk is going to take the pressure that could deal with the walker with it.

Grand Arbiter, Lavinia, Lavinia, or someone a little more interesting?

He probably prefers to have a card-drawing engine in the command zone, which is why Erebos was replaced by Villis

DarkEinherjar i had villis in the zone too for a while but i got targeted so much from all the draw power and villis got so expensive to cast. The way i saw it was if i switch it up to chainer, and put villis in the 99 i get access to the same engine and everybody else’s yards too and its been pretty nice

Oooooooooooooh! Great suggestion.

@@MTGMuddstah Murderous Rider from eldraine also hits planeswalkers. Basically hero's downfall with a creature you can cast later. Enough tutors in black to grab em if you need!

Do you have it?

What ten cards?

When you're showing the commander's, you say they're keeping these cards. I was just wondering what that's about.

@@dylonwilker2462 That's their opening hand after finishing mulligans. Those are the starting cards they keep. I'm not sure where you see 10 though?

I can't count, apparently. Lol, but it never crossed my mind that those were opening hands. Thanks, bud

@@dylonwilker2462 Np!

Yep! I try not to cherry pick every game I post. It wouldn't give an accurate representation. I already see way too many comments saying that my "meta" ALWAYS plays a t1 Sol Ring.... which isn't correct at all lol.

I just swapped commanders. It's Vilis now!

@@MTGMuddstah you are the man thank you for replying! Villis sounds like a very fun deck to pilot! I hope all is well. Love your content!

Good idea!

It's become Vilis

I have several Martin's in my meta nowadays. I'm trying to differentiate them so people start to get to knwo them.

What?

@@MTGMuddstah san your own MTG format.

I custom create my own formats on a regular basis.

there are two types of people in this world

I was cheering for Dr Martin! I play UW myself, Ephara Blinks, and I loved the responsive ability of the colors

It also cost him 1 more mana than the Dynamo per activation, so he had to use his lands until he ran out. This meant it was only enough mana to do it the second time.

It was tough to call. We were like one good turn or two away from getting back into it, until the very end. I think around the Cyc Rift was when we should have scooped.

Hm, at what point?

@@MTGMuddstah @8:25-8:40, maybe a fly or smth in the recording ^^

I think they are cicadas

I feel the same about certain bird wizards.

@@MTGMuddstah haha!

True. I guess my decision was based more on that I've lost often to an unanswered Ascension than I have a Tezzeret. I could have probably forced Malcolm to attack others instead of me with the threat of the disc.

@@MTGMuddstah I get that, it can happen to anyone. When in doubt though wheel and deal!

I agree. He should've let Vish Kal get some angels on those walkers before he activated the disk for sure.
