Winota vs Thrasios/Bruse vs Krark/Sakashima vs Thrasios/Vial Smasher | CEDH Gameplay 

I think he got tunnel vision from an early Winota drop.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG It's cool, speaking as a Winota player, I've suffer through that myself when I'm in games with Selesnya players who jam out turn 1 Dranniths. It takes a lot of aggressive mulling to make Winota work, that and you need a really good reason to cast Winota turn 1 and that reason better be "I have a hasty attacker." Otherwise, people just re-calibrate and plan their interaction suite.

Also wouldn't have mattered because Shaun would've still had infinite mana into Kinnan. Having access to Thrasios wouldn't have changed the outcome of that game. Just forgot he had the March. Whoops, Magic is hard.

Shaun here. Greg maintains the deck database list for curious control. He is an absolute master of the deck with over 400 games under his belt. Mike, Noah, and myself all have extensive experience playing against Greg and know to respect the deck. The most common way you lose to it is allowing multiple card draw engines to stay in play. You generally are ok with the first engine, but once he untaps with the second card draw engine he will draw enough cards to police the rest of the table. Because of this, you need to disrupt these engines, hence why we went so hard after his Vial Smasher with a curiosity effect on it.

@@spielrahoo ha yeah that make sense even if, tbh, y'all seem like decent pilot at your own deck generally ;) I agree that Vial had to be removed but the player being removed from the game was ultra fast too :D

Krark/Saka is my one and only cedh deck and its bloody fun to pilot! But it needs ton of skills to dont fuck it up constantly :dd

Your not the only one

Shaun here. The mana dork also tapped for 2 mana with Kinnan out, only 1 of which was used to cast the dockside. The other floating mana went into the metamorph, so that's where the third mana came from.

@@spielrahoo I just rewatched it and yeah you're right. 🤡

I wish I had more people in my community with this kind of good, healthy and respectful manners to tell you things like that. Usually are quite egotistical and confrontational

I see it almost weekly in my meta, it's great.

Prelate only stops noncreature spells.

Was weird to see the lack of interaction with that wild board state lol

It’s a specific condition of brutal cathar. It’s specifically says when it transforms too.

Oh my goodness. I apparently couldn't read last night. Sorry about that.

Idk how I feel about rashmi but I’d argue that since his deck is very damage based, sygg is understandable, and consecrated sphinx is just preference. They’re all good enough to play but could easily be cut for something else too.

Rashmi lets you trigger vial smasher for 1 spell if you hit a target with rashmi, sygg combos nice with vial smasher keeping your hand filled, consecrated is just good card draw and some nice damage from vial smasher 🤷🏼‍♂️

I maintain the Curio Control Primer. Don't mind me and my cracked-out choices. Every card is cEDH viable with the right mindset.

@@passprioritypodcast ok greg

only the casters flyers are safe

@@omerastrahan4952 ah thanks I missed that

Thats not quite right. Mana value is the new term for CMC, they mean exactly the same thing. When you play an X spell, whatever you pay for X is included in the mana value. In this case, X = 3, so the total mana value of the March is 4, making it a legal play.

There are plenty of other channels that offer that type of gameplay. This is our style. It’s not for everyone and that’s okay.

Nice

We have a huge history of non-conventional commanders on the channel. We like to show both the strong and the non-conventional. Right now we are showing the powerful commanders, and we will return to non-conventional here in the near future.

they've done quite a few of those tbh, just the last video featured Esika and Atsushi as commanders

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG Thanks for the response. Yes, I know you guys have shown non-conventional cEDH decks in the past. I've been a follower for 2 years, but I kinda get the feeling that it has been a while since we got one of those videos. Either way, I appreciate the response and I hope to see more games in the future :)

Stax does that to a pod.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG the stax pieces where only on board for one turn then got flame sweeped away . After that it was just a sanctum prelate on 2 and a drannith that’s not very stax heavy lol was not very much interaction or anything being played everyone must have had a hand full of two drops and only their commanders to play

@@Brooks0511 Shaun here. I can't speak for Noah or Greg, but I was stuck on lands for a long time that game. I actually had the win in hand until Mike flipped the Brutal Cathar and removed my Thrasios. After that, my relatively low mana count and his stax pieces did the rest.

@@spielrahoo yea I seen you where mana screwed that was brutal

@@spielrahoo I figure the prelate was locking y’all out

If they were unique partners it would be fine. But I feel like I see Thrasios and other two color partner commanders way too much

Not really. Cedh is a format of maximizing opportunity, and so it makes sense

I did when it was all about T&T Flash Hulk. But Flash is no more, and now there are plenty of cards to play in each color (though white is still trailing behind). Personally, I'm enjoying Malcolm the most among all partner commanders. He stands out 'cause he's actually out there gettin' it in on the field and is integral to the fast wincon with Buccaneer. Thrasios is quite bland in comparison. He feels like a game piece vs. a *Commander.* This is why I was not very enthused by partner commanders. Thrasios and Tymna especially are often just there for the colors and card draw utility.
