We Play Nephilim Commanders! | Commander Clash S15 E13 

Agreed

Yup. Too flashy to my liking. Also it has to be insane amounts of work for a minor effect

A huge part of playing just about any card game is seeing the other players' facial response to game actions - we don't use the phrase 'poker face' for no reason! Facial language and unspoken reactions are nearly as important to what players actually say in a card game, especially multiplayer ones. I completely agree, I much prefer to lose a bit of information in the players' hands than lose the main reason why we come here

it is so very distracting :O

The editing seems to be a ton of work for what 95% of the viewers might find distracting at best. I get the idea behind it and in another environment it could definitely work. I do appreciate the editor trying new things but I think the viewing experience is noticeably better with the cameras up at all times! Just my two cents.

Should have just done a BONUS GAME transition 😂😂

​@@-homerow-that would've been so great lol..

It's probably a custom format.

MTGO allows you to play "freeform", a way for anything goes, nothing is banned, formatless play, since pretty much forever. That's mostly used for super casual play or for outside-organized tournaments, both via direct challenges. I don't think there's any form of open queue or league for it, or if there is, it's not very popular. However, those direct challenge freeform events (historically organized via forums or reddit, nowadays discord) have birthed a bunch of decently popular fringe-formats, like pauper, penny dreadful or various no-banlist events. The Option to run freeform commander games, however, is a pretty new inclusion. The fact that that is now possible is at least partially reason for the goldfish crew to go and do interesting Format-Twist rule zero games like this one, and this is probably only the first of many semi-regular videos in this vein.

Ooh, I second that! Such cool cards

oh yeah, the notions would be pretty dope :D

Yeah, Zada is already good, she doesn’t need 3 additional colors to abuse.

Actually if I remember right they admitted they're not legendary cuz they forget about it

Ink Treader is definitely crazy. The others are cool and generally not broken though

Richard won lol

Not game 1@@lordofgarbageprogenitoroft4147

@@lordofgarbageprogenitoroft4147 ...not in the game where he said that though?

Extremely weird comment from people soo mad that Richard thinks swords is trash that they didn’t even realise Richard literally won the second game. Don’t think he cared much about you crying WhErEs YoUr SwoRdS tO plOwShaRes

@@adamhenwood1114 You mean the second game where multiple people had spot removal to slow down Tomer including Richard, extremely weird to completely ignore that fact but I guess cherrypicking helps your narrative better.

Oo! That sounds very interesting. Might bring that up with my playgroup…

They have like a fully customizable option now. So, yes.

You can play no ban list in freeform if you want to.

Yea but usually Crim is to busy focusing on pushing a 3v1 against Tomer then gets annoyed when Tomer doesn't focus on Richard.

Oh right, good call ☝

Oh I will once I get the chance 🤩 Too bad there are still some key cards missing like Ethereal Investigator, Minn and Alandra. Almost all the "When draw second card = Create a token" cards in its colors 😓

Yeah, that's all I was thinking about

Yes, you can now set up custom rules for Commander when playing on Magic Online!

​@@MTGGoldfishCommanderThat's awesome!

​​​@@MTGGoldfishCommander you should do a game where each of you picks an interesting non legendary to make a deck around. Would open unique mechanics and play styles. Like that Naya from coldsnap Tamanoa, Malestrom Archangel, Ankle Shanker, Havengul Lich, ect. Godhead of Awe was actually my first commander, I asked to play it and house rules were fine. It's unique, making everything a 1/1 and opened up fun plays. And my justification was that Godhead of Awe is literally a demigod of Shadowmoor so it in theory should be legendary. Commander is a casual format. House rules are always more important than "official" rules.

@@MTGGoldfishCommanderYou’d think they would have let people do that from the start lol

I know, right? Dude pulled a blue steel and landed it lol... ...damn I'm old!

@@robertbryce3225 🤣

It's very chaotic

Oof had to google that one, what a brutal card 😅

I was considering not running it but I figured that it would be better to showcase the real potential of Nephilim since it's the only time we'll ever play them. Ink is definitely the strongest of the bunch, but I expected that Yore-Tiller and Glint-Eye would do some busted things too :P

You're a treasure Josh

I did the same thing with Meren once upon a time. And I actually cut Entomb from Muldrotha; I play Gravebreaker Lamia but found Entomb itself doing a lot less than I would have thought.

Personally I run at minimum 10 basics in my decks, usually closer to 15 on average. I think people don't run enough basics and take any opportunity to run things like Price of Progress or Primal Order.
