Unsure if anyone cares, but at 2:02:10 Mages' Contest states that it's controller starts the bid with 1, and as soon as the bid stands it ends. This means that Adam MUST start with 1 and unless Ben decides to bid 2 Adam immediately wins with 1 and can't pay 20, though if he does bid 2 Adam can then up it to 20.

There is a Pioneer deck out there that runs Possibility Storm. The combo is cast a sorcery adventure card with Possibility Storm on the battlefield, with the only other sorcery card in your deck being Enter the Infinite, cast Enter the Infinite for free, put Borborygmos on top of your deck, cast Hangerback Walker for zero, cast Borborygmos off Possibility Storm, discard all your lands in your hand to blow up your opponent. The combo itself is nested into a Gruul midrange deck so you don't actually have to combo off every game, you can just beat down your opponent with Lovestruck Beast and Questing Beast. It's an incredible deck to see go off because the combo is so janky but somehow playable

I realized, after watching this once on Twitch, once here, that Serge just didn't think and could have easily survived Ben's attack. Goblin Sharpshooter untaps every time any creature dies, so he taps it, deals 2 damage to ben's 2/2, it dies and goes back to Ben's hand, rinse and repeat for each 2/2 that was attacking.

I don't think Protection from Everything counts as a keyword. Protection is a keyword itself. But I don't think you get to choose a keyword and a modifier to that keyword. I don't think you could say Cumulative Upkeep of 7 colorless. I know that is an non-legal card so it is probably a grey area.

@@Jrodsly well if your budget is a motivating factor, then I would suggest investing in Dominaria as much of the Legendary uncommons are designed to be played in Brawl and while none of them are going to be EDH powerhouses at least they will have several relevant abilities. Also Commander Legends will be coming out at the end of the year and that should make a HUGE dent in your list. I looked it up and there are currently 208 commanders that are considered T3 or better. Now I've been guilty of dabbling in some jank myself, but 92 decks? That seems like it would be hard to stomach. Also my playgroup is very tolerant of silver border cards (within reason) and has agreed to let me brew a Dr. Julius Jumblemorph deck. 😁
