These Decks Will Get You Banned at Your LGS | Commander Clash S16 E2 

I'm not usually a Commander Clash viewer, but I found myself watching through this whole episode. I really like the change to Spelltable for this season, somehow it makes the battlefield way more readable to me.

Phil getting free Eldrazi twice in a row, First on Cardmarket and now here. He is truly blessed by the Eldritch Gods of Magic.

I think the best part of the paper games is the edited games are a little shorter and easier to watch in one sitting while still getting the best banter from the crew. Great game though.

Phil's surprised smile and thumbs up when Crim said he's gonna trust Phil was the highlight for me

Seth playing a no one wins deck over excessive card draw or panharmonicon shenanigans was exactly what I needed this morning. Thanks guys! Awesome episode!

I respect Crim for the “mental health counterspell.” Sometimes it is the correct choice

Man the in person play is such a massive improvement its not even funny. One of my biggest issues with some of the older videos was that a good 40ish minutes of them were just waiting for Magic Online to resolve all the triggers, but, with that gone, it's gotten so much better. Liked and clicked the bell.

Absolutely loving the in person play! It’s been easy for me to follow, even though I’m not familiar with all of the cards and such. Great job to the editor and team!

Crim and Richard, father and son, matching playmats They must have had a 2 for 1 at the toys r us on playmats

Seeing game length 45 minutes: “oh god Phil is gonna combo off isn’t he”

Flashing opposition agent into your own humility to chump block another 1/1 is next level

I greatly appreciate that, even though Tomer is out this season, CLASH ON STILL LIVES ON!!!!

Holy crap Batman when did you switch to paper? So happy I clicked on this vid and made this discovery! May have to go back and find the switch so I can catch up. Much prefer paper magic to digital. Clash On!

Dude, the celebration sound for the winner is just perfect :'D

I realized that we can actually get new precon content since the games are paper which I think is pretty sick Perhaps we can also do Doctor Who upgrades at some point? 👀

i like the in person style this season, particularly all the edits of playercam and card descriptions, since i dont really know any new cards im finding myself more engaged in the match in general, mtgo would be so rigid with gamepieces and priority id often tune out on complicated games. if this hive mind teferi happened on mtgo i likely wouldve turned off, but the editting for it here was very entertaining

Good content as always. I hope you guys do a stats episode though, they are always my favorite to watch and to go back to and see how your card tastes change over time.

Crim's doubletake at 38:27 is GOLD

I love Phil just actually using a banned card in commander 😂 not just banned at your lgs

Whoosh and sound effects are a better volume this week. Thanks for the video!

Play a second one if its so short! Also loved that Seth actually brought a deck that can't win... and won with it... crim and seth team up continues? :p

That was a really fun game! I love seeing these games where salty cards are played but no one gets salty.

I have not watched CC in a long while. Coming back and seeing beautiful cardboard on tabletop instead of clunky MOTO was such a pleasant surprise. Loved it guys

that was the most fascinating episode i've seen you play. GREAT job by you and your editor.

Personally, I prefer the MTGO setup for Commander Clash. It’s nice having a channel that’s unique in the landscape of countless paper gameplay channels.

This new season explains why in a normal play group, you cannot strictly count on fog meta to win a game. Most players playing red or black will build their deck in a way that can win outside of combat.

The transition to spell table games has been amazing for Commander Clash. I hope this is something you guys plan to continue doing for the foreseeable future.

Everyone yapping at the same time while a player is taking and explaining actions, is super fun to listen to.

Loving the paper gameplay! Missed triggers are worth the shorter games to me.

I love this visual format. Editing is on point

Great theme, and I really like the editing :) Especially the T Pro fade out

This was, interestingly, some of the better content you guys have posted! It's actually fun watching broken magic rather than jank.

Absolutely love this format of commander clash!

the editing on this is still off the charts! if I can make a suggestion, it would be nice to see the casting costs noted next to the commanders, rather than just the color identity

Love the show, I just miss seeing everyone’s hands. It gave insight on all the bluffing, and internal analysis. Hopefully we get another episode of the team vs others. Thanks for the content!

Much tighter play this week - well done everyone, especially with that boardstate.

Love seeing Phil use the ODY 346 mountain! That's my favorite one.

Something that could be good would be to include the cost of the commander where it’s name is, and also add the commander tax each times it’s cast

Another reminder that Blood Moon is casual in a casual playgroup. Run it my dudes.

This format is good. My only complaint is that, like in every other paper EDH show on the internet, people miss triggers and fail to properly observe the rules. I also can't see the hands. How many times have you guys puzzled over why MTGO did something only for the editor to note that none of you understood the interaction properly? Maybe y'all can spin off a new MTGO show for people who enjoyed the old client.

This was a really fun game! Lots of weird interactions and I loved the deck concepts. Now I'm gonna be That Guy: Teferi's protection says your life total can't change. At around 32 minutes, Richard cast Vampiric Tutor after casting Teferi's Protection. If it still worked like the original wording "Pay 2 life, tutor a card" he actually wouldn't be able to cast it at all since Teferi's Pro prevents you from paying life. Luckily oracle texts makes losing the 2 life no longer a cost, so it turns into all upside. Richard should have been able to tutor without losing the 2 life.

You guys should do an episode where you use commanders not available on MTGO, like UB, backgrounds, or commander product stuff

Props for the TPro overlay effect!

Thank you guys. I was happy to see you all get banned and play savoury cards. I really enjoy that you record paper games. I feel that the passing priority on Magic Online is really killing the pace of the game on 4 players.

I LOVE Wars Toll. I used to play it alongside Magus of the Tabernacle and Ghostly Prison, so - if you want to keep your creatures you can't attack, if you want to attack you can't keep your creatures.

Thsr past two commander clahses have been awesome. It feels like everyone is having more fun

I love this! I get that it’s harder to build paper decks but modo is so slow with the priority passes. What’s your setup with lighting and desk cams?

Phil should include as many cards as possible that flip from the top. First the Cardmarket video and now this. He could probably even beat Crim's blind Counterbalance record.

I think I prefer this over moto. Not only do you avoid the moto crashes and stuff, but moto tends to be slower overall when everyone has to say ok to every play and you see every trigger have to go on the stack. Sure you might make more mistakes but I think that can add to the fun! Keep up the fun content!

man i wanna play with phil, the man never complains and never bullshits

Great content guys

The red Ojer with Nekuzar is pretty insane, would've loved seeing it on board. Add Pain Magnification with those 2 for extra salt.

Seth's "Clash On" frustration is everything. Glad that he now understands Tomer's struggle.

I saw ThalRog and immediately clicked, then read the title and realized, "Oh dear, it appears I'm being called out." I built my ThalRog deck in a very fun way though. Lot's of stuff to give my opponents goodies & battles, no other hatebears, and then obviously some landocrats stuff paired with +1/+1 counters for the win condition.

Wait does Esper Sentinel still trigger while you’re T Proed? I did not know this and have been missing card draw in some spots?

Love the switch to paper

The decks I'm afraid to run did their work. I love it

I can confirm, I've never been saltier in Commander than when someone brought a Draw Turbo deck to our LGS's Friday Night Commander tournament just to knock the whole table out of contention and make sure no one got to go on to the finals table. At the Rule 0 discussion, the rest of us decided to play more casual decks, and this guy said, and I quote, "This deck has a few infinite combos, but they don't win the game", without elaborating that the goal was the nuke the whole game turn 4 and end everyone's fun. I lost an immense amount of respect for that person, that day, and I WILL spite target them at any table they bring that deck to, even at the cost of the game for myself.

I love these camera works so much more than playing online :) keep up the good work guys

Nice, finally some gameplay that represents an average day at my LGS.

4:00 I can't even read some of that handwritten list in the right image. Dunno if it's the redditor's white board or the LGS's but whomever it belongs to, freaking print out your banlist in standard, legible type so people can read it without struggling. 😵

Phil is hilarious. Seth and Phil mid-game banter is great.

Run more counters, mulligan to have interaction and a combo piece or tutor in your hand. The deck mulligans really well and can go down to 5 without issues. Is easy to fall on the trap of pursuing a lot of ramp in the deck in your opening hand, while it can be good, remember you want to combo ASAP.

Am i missing something? Wasn't hive mind still out when wheel of misfortune was cast?

Did rule of law and hive mind phase out? I miss mtgo because rules interactions worked like 99% of the time.

~ Love this!

Whoa! I didn't see the IRL CC coming!!

I love this episode! Hive mind and Humility are some of the most fun cards to me.. ... Am i the baddie?

This is one of the best themes ever, it’s so funny

Funnily enough, because of how my group dose our own ban list for Commander, we dont play by the Commander Rules Committee set of Rules

Oh, paper magic AND a reasonable game time. Watching for sure!!

i love this style of playing over moto

I'm not sure if it would've mattered in the long run, but Richard Vamp Tutored after the T Pro. He shouldn't have lost 2 life from the tutor as his life total can't change. Also, you don't take commander damage under Teferi's Protection as you have protection from everything.

are Crims lands not phased out so he doesnt get any avenger of zendikar tokens?

At 29:40 doesnt everyone get to wheel from all the Wheel of Misfortune copies since when you all choose 0, nobody technically choose the lowest number? So the table would take all the damage from the Spitefull Visions and all that?

Im curious, what made the MTG Goldfish crew change to paper? Was it due to the flexibility of cards and avoiding MOTO problems?

Currently, my LGS has only one banned card: Thassa's Oracle. It was hilarious that the deck that was only there to force a draw ended up winning...

Question, wouldn't the mindslaver stay because it's phased out my teferi's protection or am I missing something?

Crimothy and the Codfather rocking the same mat.

I've never been more excited to see Richard play a deck! MLD is right up his alley (Edit: and mine as well)

That was a super cool game !!

Can I Get Richard deck list? im trying to make the same deck but it doesnt work

We didn't really get to see Richard's and Seth's deck do anything. How come we didn't see a game 2 with such a short game? Is recording in real time much more time consuming? Or are you aiming for shorter run times now?

This is one of the more enjoyable games ive watch in a minute for laughs. Comparable to slivermania 😂

Love yalls channel and yall are by far my favorite commander group I watch. This was a great game and it was entertaining to see Seth get somewhat “angry” for once at his own spells. I think Spelltable is nice to shake things up on occasion, but it is not my preferred way of viewing. MTGO it is much easier to distinguish between cards, see where they are placed, and it also allows you see player’s hands. It’s not always intuitive to follow what’s going on in spelltable.

Phil should've tutored for those instants though, Humility doesn't stop things like that iirc.

Does rule of law not stop seth from casting the copied teferi's pro since he can only cast one spell per turn?

Unfortunately I am really not a fan of the spelltable version.

So Spicy, I think I need Pepto! Keep playing these cards so we don't have to.

Richard backing the fog meta!

Love the face cams!

Crim's deck is too sweet this week!

I love salty games lol! My play group has land destruction players, mindslaver players who will recur it from the graveyard with muldrotha, Zacama turbo ramp and Eldrazi enjoyers. I have a mono black deck with both dictate of erebos and grave pact, running creatures like fleshbag marauder and demons disciple. I run a bunch of reanimation to do it every turn so I'm the only person with creatures on the board and top it off with big flying beaters to swing for 10-20 each turn

Richard should not have lost 2 life from vamp tutor, since he was under the effect of Teferi's Protection.

because no armagedon was played we still need an episode with land destructions xD

Where is the link of the Nekusar deck?

🥇 Perfect Content Award 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Turn 9 Richard should have stayed at 27 for the vamp tutor as he waited for the t pros to resolve with floating mana.

Lol Seth winning this game was crazy. Richards Teferi's pro backfired hard lol.

Wow this video made me pro Crim. Dude kinda cool now
