Yisan vs Morophon vs Daretti vs Animar  

2:35 Mesmeric orb : "Mill one!" Ulamog: "Sup" Orb: "Understandable, have a nice day"

A single spot removal, bounce, or board wipe and the Yisan deck cries.

Hey everyone! Yisan player from the video. Thank you so much for checking out the game and so great to see all your comments! It was a lot of fun playing with Chris, Skylar, and Emil. We played some more even games after this one :) Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to get to the ones that are already here.

Elves players be like “WHY YOU HATIN ME BRO THEYRE A BUNCH IF MANA DORKS” *next turn*” craterhoof for +12345678/12345678 “

Aidan at 9:23 should have gotten 7 mana from the Priest. It counts all elves on the battlefield and Morophon is a changeling. Idk how much it matter in the end though.

As soon as I saw yissen I knew they needed a board wipe

Every time I see Yidan or Godo on youtube they do so well. Every time I play them in real life they get removed once or twice and the player does absolutely nothing the whole game.

Better than messing with Yisan's activations by getting suboptimal creatures: mess with them by not getting any creatures at all. You can do so, because if a tutor specifies the card you're searching for, you can choose to not find anything, even if you have a card that meets the search criteria. That being said, recurring Mindslaver over and over again to mess with Yisan would probably end up painting a target on YOUR chest instead, because your other opponents would quickly realize they'd be the next in line if they didn't stop you.

Duplicant on the Beast Whisperer instead of Yisan sums it all up on the threat assessment of the table

The very first second i saw this green commander, i knew how it would end : "craterhoof for the win" How original... And people yell about cyclonic rift

I feel like a single creature board wipe about halfway through the game would've knocked Yisan out of the game since at one point I thought I heard you say he had only a single land. Being left with just 1 land halfway through the game would just knock anyone out of the game.

That was considerably one-sided.

RU-vid unfortunately failed to notify me, but my goodness I could honestly listen to your voice for all eternity. Especially with the music playing behind, you've done an amazing job with the sound design! But, you really do have a voice like Morgan Freeman or such, you could read out a phone book and it'd be both soothing and interesting.

Loved your short analysis at the end! Would be fun if you included more of your thoughts in to the outros.

Man alive that was a quick game! Cool finish though. Can't go wrong with Ol' Reliable Craterhoof

did you get a new camera/lighting setup? This lighting is amazing! Don't change a thing!

Aiden did a decent job with piloting Yisan but had so many missed triggers or the ability to double search at certain CMCS. You are able to stack the find triggers if you untap at instant speed. I am sure he might have been able to win sooner had he drawn with the guardian project. Also unsure why he didn't take the 6 not allowing the duplicate as he was in a commanding lead and enough blockers to stop any aggro.

That reclamation sage pitch was painful.

Love me a good Elf deck. Had similar success once swapping Yisan into my Marwyn deck, but my playgroup didn't have nearly as much fun.

Mesmeric Orb did so much work in this game... I can't wait for mine to arrive for my recently built Sidisi deck. :)

At 10:16 when Skylar cast his Sol Ring it should etb tapped due to Manglehorn.

Aiden missed a mill trigger from untapping Yisan, which might not have mattered, but technically could've milled the creature he was searching for or Craterhoof. at 7:54

WHERE WAS THE BOARD WIPE!?

I think the key mistake was just being so slow to react. Imo, in a "normal" game where everyone is on the same page, NOT playing Yisan on turn 2 would have been a mistake, cause you lose an entire turn to climb up the ladder to the Craterhoof. However, Aidan was given all the time in the world to just chill and hang back, which is not what you want to see as an oponent. Resetting the clock even once with spot removal is devastating, let alone a board wipe. In stronger (or cEDH) groups it's risky cause you don't wanna blow that removal that could stop someone else from straight up winning the game, but in this slow-paced game, it would have been perfectly fine since nobody seemed like they play the kind of deck that just wins out of nowhere. Just comes down to proper threat assessment for this one, but you learn from your mistakes.

I feel conflicted between wanting the green deck to win and hating Yisan.

You're right, that Mindslaver needed to target the Yissan player. He had two chances to use it.

I made a new enemy at my local game Store when someone entwined tooth and nail, got vorinclex and blightsteel colossus. I mind slavered him and I was the bad guy....

I know this was 2 months ago, but does anyone have that Yisan deck list that Aiden played?

I was hoping to see alot more from the god deck. I almost built it but stopped bc i didn't think it would work very well. Super interested in seeing it in action

The lack of board wipes and removal on this channel is criminal

My Thor's day is complete now 😌

Yisan: Cursed Totem: Hello there.

Niceeee

when Yisan Untapped he shoulld've milled since Orb was still on the field when he searched for manglehorn. great vid still!

I could be wrong but I believe when you untapped yisan at instant speed you don't search for a "4 drop then a 5 drop" the counters resolve before the search so you actually Tudor for two 5 drops.

Someone should tell Aidan to double up on Yisan triggers whenever possible. If you can untap at instant speed, why not go search for two 5 drops instead of a 4 and 5 drop?

Where did skylar get that mat?

Could you please post the Yisan list?

If aiden's turns were always controlled then they could just "fail to find" with yisan each turn which would have slowed him down a bit granted with all his untaps he could do it on each other persons turn anyway.

That animar was slow, my freinds animar usually got out by turn two and if not kept in check wins by like turn five at the latest

Did they really not see the craterhoof coming?

_LAY _ORE _RATHS

Was just thinking of rebuilding animar!

I'm pretty sure you can announce that you fail to find, even if you have legal targets, but I'm uncertain with Yisan

Feels like skylar should put more ramp in his deck

Even a more casual yisan deck is really strong and needs to be focused. I used to play combo yisan and if he lived a turn or two usually won the game. Took it apart though cuz it was hella boring and repetitive

Yisan players unite! Easily my favorite deck out of my many, with Emry a close second.

Oh wait yisen can summon a 5 converted mana creature if he has 6 counters or more? Wasnt sure how this card works

not trying to be mean but i dont get how people "forget, or dont realize" how their deck works. like how do u just forget to draw alot more cards or do other combos etc..

Animar enchantments? So weird...

is that a LoL playmat?

Yisan player was sandbagging, lol

Emil? More like E-Mill 😜

Yisan is stronk.

Aidan decllist pls

Daretti again.

I was expecting a Green Lab Maniac at some point...

Yisan busted.

Poor Animar got hosed.

Pretty good game but it seemed everyone was more enjoying doing their own thing this game instead of threat assessing and dealing with each other throughout

I know it was a casual deck, but... Animar enchantments? Might wana rethink that deck

I think this is the first Yisan deck I've seen that actually worked

Elves s2

Before watching, who do you thing wins?

I might consider getting a Regal Force after watching time and time again do so much work.

so good quality!!!!!
