24:00 - Am I missing something? Why wouldn't Eliot Conspire the Transmogrify to target Wort too? It gives some resilience against interaction, and worst that happens he can recast Wort next turn and make some more friends. (also, 5 minutes of silent void at the end of the video?)

At that point the magistrate was still in play, so recasting wasn't an option. yes, agree that might have been a misplay, but unless the player explains the reasoning or lets us know its an oversight, eh.

Jim I play the maskwood nexus variant of Malcolm/Kediss and it’s got considerably more tutors because using Magda to get Niv/Glinthorn aith treasures as your win condition instead of the Polymorph effects means you can also utilize creature type manipulation to get access to Reckless Fireweaver as a back up Glinthorn and also allows you to play yuor Consecrated Sphinx for advantage. Just food for thought as I love the deck quite a bit and I think the polymorph version is much more fragile than it should be.

A little bit of optimization you could do on the last turn that you missed. When you activated Sensei's Divining Top the last time before you put it on top to draw, you can hold priority and sac it to Krark-Clan Ironworks. You would have 2 mana floating and still be able to draw a card. Sensei's in your graveyard would also make it a combo with Myr Retriever, Krark-Clan Iron Works and Teshar that allows you to draw your deck. You also had the Relic Vial so you would just win. You found a line in the end but there was a easier way that didn't involve you having to sac your Grand Abolisher and expose yourself to interaction. Great game, I love the banter and I got to see all my favorite mountains. Can't wait for the next one.

So maybe I'm wrong here, but there a loads of situations where you'd want to Conspire the gamble with 1 card in hand unless I'm missing something. It would all depend on your target for the gamble and what you want it to do. If for example, Eliot wanted to Gamble for a basic Forest so that he would have green mana to get around the Magus of the Moon, then he would actually increase his odds of getting a forest after the 2 gambles resolve. Since this is cEDH and the decklist linked for Eliot is Lazav not Wort, I would assume there is more than one Transmogriphy effect in his deck. Thus, gambling for 2 of them, would give him a 75% chance to end up with 1 of them in the end and I believe a 50% to get the actual card you want if you choose that card as the result of the 2nd gamble resolution and a 25% chance to ditch the card you had in hand at the beginning.
@zuterwer1835
Жыл бұрын
true that, but you then also just effectively milled at least one, if not both of those cards. There are only so many in red green, so I would assume tere to not be THAT many. As we saw there was interaction, and the one target that already went off had little board impact, so I'm guessing the raw mass of polymorphs is more important than just getting one off?
@blakerobinson4198

Honest rules question. At 18:45, Elliot plays a dwarves ruins tapped, but I'm pretty sure with magus of the moon, it should enter untapped. I thought blood Moon effects basically make lands look at what they would be when they enter the battlefield, so bounce lands, tap lands, etc enter as mountains, and therefore enter untapped. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
@zuterwer1835

yes, this was changed in Ixalan iirc. The interaction is still pretty messy, and these players probably played a long time under the old rule, so not questioning it is pretty acceptable

I just found your channel and this game was very enjoyable to watch. I'm actually putting together a Malcom deck now as well. I'm sure the Malcom player has it in there, but I'm going for a treasure infect kill combo. Create treasures, then with academy manufacturer create food and clue, having reckless fireweaver on board, Xorn for extra treasure tokens and the fireweaver equipped with grafted exo skeleton. It should deal 12 infect to each of a 4 man pod.. * fingers crossed that it works as planned*

To expand a bit on why this works: Dying is a state based action, and in the state based actions order (which is a rules hole that I would not want any to go dig too deeply in) Checking for abilities, comes before checking for damage or destruction. Which means that as the game checks state based actions, it goes "Oh yeah, we have a cleric for this ability. Oh look a creature dies, we get to activate this ability." Once the ability then goes on the stack, and players once again receive priority, state based actions are checked again, and it looses its ability if there are no other clerics. However, the ability is already on the stack, and therefor is allowed to resolve. Hope this helps, not a judge, just a magic player with a playgroup that has too rules lawyers!

I would encourage everyone to do this when playing Commander. It helps prevent confusion about the type of game being played. Further, I really enjoy competing against top decks and people's informed decisions. If the only reason my combo got through is Eliot didn't realize it was happening, I picked a bad spot to combo off, and didn't know or learn that. You get better by playing against informed prepared opponents, not just winning a game.

Mostly for the purpose of good TV. Truth of the matter is, these games are meant for watching and entertainment. Letting the viewer know what is about to go down, and priming their expectations are pretty important for that kind of thing. ESPECIALLY when you have people either new to the format or even the game (Unlikely as that may be) Yes, in a casual game I agree with alex, talk about this kinda thing, although in a more competitive "play to win" scenario, I would expect my opponents to keep more information to themselves. Besides, These people play these decks a lot, know them and know how to play against them (except maybe the wartmother one, that one is just weird) so they likely aren't as easily surprised and already know all this anyways, once again, just saying it for the benefit of the viewer.

Also, Dwarven Ruins and Cavern f souls dont have abilities on entering so they shouldnt enter tapped or name a creature type.

As of the Ixalan block rules change,lands that normally enter play tapped no longer enter tapped under a Blood Moon. Additionally, Cavern of Souls does not get a chance to name a creature type with a Blood Moon already in play.

With the Magus of the Moon out, all the lands that have replacement effects enter the battlefield without those replacement effects. The lands that say "this enters the battlefield tapped" will enter as an untapped Mountain. The Cavern of Souls enters and no creature type is picked.
