Richard also tried to deflect that blue artifacts do the card draw even though he could have ran a blue deck. Here is a list of mono blue artifact creatures that he could have ran as commander. Nardole, Resourceful Cyborg Nick Valentine, Private Eye Jetfire, Ingenious Scientist Memnarch The Reality Chip all would have been just as good as Karn and gave him those better blue artifacts.
I find it hilarious that everyone has to work around this weird restriction of types and then Seth just gets to build a normal deck with actual synergies
I think Richard could have totally played an artifact creature type of deck that wouldn't be all that hindered by the deck building restrictions too much but maybe he thought that wouldn't fit the janky flavor of the vid. Creature is probably the least restricted of the card types, wasn't a fan of Seth running those relatively one sided cards (bane of progress and bringer of the last gift) when he knows he is playing decks that can't run creatures and non-artifacts.
@@conker1847 Well no one said the other decks couldn't run creatures... In the case of the sorcery deck, you run Adventures or something if you need a creature; in the Artifact deck there's a lot of creatures that are also artifacts... And several Planeswalkers make creatures, including Grist which also counts as a creature while it's not on the battlefield...
@@ryangainey94 Sorcery deck could barely play creatures and planeswalker deck was barely gonna do much better, the point is using the knowledge that your opponent's almost certainly won't have creatures in graveyards, or every non-land permanent they have is an artifact to your advantage seems a bit metagaming. Like if Phil had a red commander and he ran Vandalblast that would be kinda fucked.
@@conker1847 It’s not like these cards are niche tech cards though. I run a full creature commander deck too and Bane of Progress is an auto-include in that deck.
Loved watching this. The big limitation on deckbuilding created interesting decks that didn't consist of 50% of the same cards we see every week (besides some peoples landbase) and everyone seems to be having fun at the table as well.
Everybody calling out Phil for having ONE creature in his deck, the commander, while Richard totally circumvents the restriction by having artifacts and creatures in his deck.
To be fair, Artifact creatures still fall under the "artifact" umbrela. Same as if someone decided to go full enchantment and used Enchantment creatures. What I am sad is that the same thought can't be used on adventure creatures, even though they have the spell on them, they are still consaidered primarily creatures. Although by that thought, Seth could have used adventure creatures in his deck if he wanted.
If we go even deep, Crim could have played the two-sided planeswalkers from magic origins or mh3, as well as Seth could have played enchantment creatures with bestow, but not vehicles. There was many ways to go around the specific rule to each one decks. I mean, Phil also could have played Awaken the Blood Avatar, which is the two-face strixhaven card that the front's a creature, alongside a lot of the sorcery that makes tokens and just cast that multiple times to have a really wide board of avatars that couldn't be killed easily because none of the other players running sorcery/instant removal apart from Phil.
Yeah no, I fully agree, as long as the card in your deck is a instant/sorcery/planeswalker its fine, otherwise you should say that the planeswalker player can't make creature tokens. Everything shared a creature type so its fine.
To be fair, the only option Phil had besides that would have to be Extus, although Extus is a fun deck too. And Jadzi. I don't remember if there's any others
BTW The deck Phil has listed for deck descriptions is a different Kellan deck he played for Outlaws, the bant one. I was confused at how cheaty his deck seemend at first lol
If he didn't just forget, maybe he doesn't want to go through the trouble of having to pay the 3 to put it in hand first? I've found myself wanting to do a million other things than pay 3 to put my, for example in my kenrith deck, zirda into hand. Umori has a good effect of course but 7 mana overall just doesn't seem appealing imo. Again he also might have just forgot LMAO
@@RunekingLordofThunder it doesnt matter if its expensive because the cost to add it is free. even if you have better things to use your mana on just it being there is upside
Thank you for playing my idea! I don’t know if you got the idea from me but that is almost exactly what I suggested and I thought it made for a great game. We got to see some unusual choices though Phil and Crim certainly were still in their wheelhouse. I think that is worth doing again but everyone has to pick a card type they haven't chosen. I could see Richard building a very different kind of sorcery deck or Seth building a very different planeswalker deck for example.
Yeah, I rate him super highly in practice. It means as a super friends player that you only need to focus your removal on one player when you likely have tons of it.
I built the Androgynous Rex as soon as it came out. It's absolutely nuts, I've even been able to go 1v3 and win with it (I run a bunch of non-legendary clones). Also, fun fact, it literally can't get double strike from discarding a creature, because there are zero double strikers in sultai + colorless!
@@MakeVarahHappen Literally looking on Scryfall right now to see what a Kaslem or Ashaya "lands-only" deck could look like, and it certainly looks janky as hell... but not... completely impossible?
The commanders were all technically also the card types of the deck, though Phil probably should have either used an MDFC Strixhaven card (like Journey to the Oracle) or put Kellan back into command zone instead of into exile on an Adventure to stay within the spirit of the restriction
@@jewpcabra666 also worth noting that just letting someone kill you when you get down to a 1v1 is kind of a mercy to the rest of the table if you know you don't have it or the plays are uninteresting, if the fun part of the game is over letting it go is fine
I'm a little surprised you guys chose sorceries as the fourth instead of enchantments, considering it would be all of the major nonland permanent types outside of battles. And enchantments in the last few years have became significantly stronger with cards like ATG, the enchantment creatures, and a whole bunch of hate bears cards like Blind Obedience and Tithe.
I have an Indominus Rex//Umori companion deck, and it’s one of my favorite decks. It wants to win with either Jarad Golgari Lichlord flinging a Lord of Extinction or Consuming Aberration, or with Lab Man off shenanigans using Mimeo to copy the commander in the graveyard but buffed by something massive that makes me draw out my whole deck (since Indominus only cares about the number of counters he has as he enters, not whether they’re keyword counters specifically. A Mimeo as Indominus buffed by Lord of Extinction draws out your whole deck on ETB most times, lol). Or y’know, just Voltron if no one can deal with the Keyword soup Dino, lol.
I love the hand cams Because it looks like Crim is playing with those oversized Commander Precon cards While Seth looks like he's playing with Yugioh sized cards
Richard's deck sure seemed pretty Creature heavy for 'only Artifacts'. Artifact Creatures kinda make the restriction feel less real also Myriad is a 'may' ability so you're literally opting into making tokens in order to attack Crim in that situation.
I'm disappointed that the Planeswalker deck wasn't Guff. He's perfect for it: card draw, damage, makes creatures to block with, has colors with more useful Planeswalkers.
Best colors & legends imo for each deck: Gruul - Sorceries only (omnath landfall or simic w/ tatiyova) Golgari - Creatures only (pharika, izoni) Mono blue - Artifacts only (emry) 5c - Walkers only (locus of all)
Pre game guess, either Seth wins fast with a hasty trex or Richard wins late game! I think Crim and Phil are at a disadvantage with it being 100% the other types. But fun theme episode!
I'm about 8 minutes in and I think I figured out how Phil is going to win: He's going to dig for Overrun effects on his plant tokens! 23:30 - ELSPETH, SUN'S CHIBI-ON!

22:48 Crim made a map token, who's the artefact deck now? Teyo is the only card in the game that creates 0/4 white wall tokens with defender and flying. It's absurd.
Do artifacts have the advantage inherently in this game because of the artifact creatures? Richard followed the rules but I think that having access to creatures still gives him an advantage the rest of the table lacked.
He could have very easily picked an artifact creature based deck, I think he didn't go that route b/c it would just be another of many artifact creature based decks.
I just built a Karn deck myself, and it is a tricky one to build for card draw - mind's eye is actually one of the better options. I did find a good amount of land ramp you didn't include (noteably Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus; Wayfarer's Bauble; Urza's Cave (fetching a sol-land, and possible crucible addtion); and Expedition Map, though surveyor's scope is a good call. I think you noticed the issue with Myriad Landscape as well in game not being able to find wastes. Urza's Saga would also have been a solid include, as well as Planar Nexus, for maximum Urza's Workshop potential. Skittering Surveyor can also pull out Urza's Cave and Planar Nexus as some neat tech. It's also too bad you were restricted to artifacts - would have been an amazing deck to show off my new favorite card: Echoes of Eternity. It's basically Necroduality on steroids, but for colorless. Solid showing for team MUD in any case!
New idea but also the same idea… Everyone plays Codie, Voviferous Codex with a different type of non-creature spell. So it’s five-color non-creature nonsense cranked up to 11
At around an hour, rules clarification for myself, is there anything on the board for the BoP to see? If they’re entering at the same time how is it decided if bane comes on to the board before or after all of Richard’s creatures
if you cast tail the suspect, can you choose to put it in the command zone instead of exiling it as it resolves? i don’t think so because the card is only a sorcery on the stack, but is the sorcery still a commander?
With the constant increase of the power creep, and card rarities downgrading nowadays, I think you should reconsider playing pauper edh again. Maybe pauper EDH is a lot stronger now than the years before. Or even 1 game where you are only allowed to play reprints. (I know this comment is out of place, but don't know where else I could send this kind of message.)
@@Chiavica He mentions MDFC's, I think it would be extremely difficult in a lot of color combos to even get to your standard ~35-40 lands you want using literally every MDFC card
Had battlethopter and had reservoir but failed to use the "I respond to my own cast trigger by casting another spell" trick which would have gained him something like 64 life before the monument triggers.
Kellan is actually pretty broken in the fact he has that adventure and if you cast his adventure it reduces commander tax overall. For example if Kellan dies his creature cast cost will be six but if you adventure him it’ll be only four, and so on. You may have to wait an extra turn to play him again but it gives you the ramp that simic wants as a bonus. Also provides protection and he’s a flying vigilant creature so all around in my opinion a solid simic commander from murders at Karlov that I haven’t seen a lot of play.
22:07 as yurioh player this always baffle me because if a monster copy another which have eth trigger, it wont proc because by the time it copy, it is already on field
Magic has always handled that slightly differently, because we really like clone effects. If it helps, "as this enters," and "when this enters" are completely different. With "as", it's already a copy by the time we acknowledge it's only the field. With "when" it would work like in yugioh.
I've got an all-enchantments Anikthea deck (with Umori companion) and it rocks. I feel like Richard maybe held back by going for a colorless artifact commander instead of something like Breya. Bolas's Citadel alone would make me at least go for one of the Necrons.
Gideon of the Trials really does give a timeline for when the planeswalker legend rule changed, because Gideon didn't work with the old rule. "Gideon planeswalker" cards didn't exist until the change because planeswalker types weren't a thing until then Not important, I was just thinking about it
9 of his 28 creatures didn't even work with it. I would have gone Mazemind Tome, Investigator's Journal, and Hylda's Crown of Winter, not to mention Scroll Rack. Also surprised over Phyrexian Triniform over Triplicate Titan. That 12 encore cost is a meme, and if you drop it you get a flampler instead.
On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" it's the Scourge rumors all over again. Will Phil prove the rumors are true or will Seth crush all under the might of his Legions. Tune-in to find out!
Seeing Visions may not be the priciest drop, but the art is what Secret Lairs should be doing, you get 4 different versions and they're all amazing (and people hated this idea btw, hence they stopped doing it I guess), and the flavor is pretty sweet too. It also is a call back arguably to the FNM Serum Visions, which is... suggestive, to be polite. In it's own way that card is every bit as bad as Ekundu Cyclops, it's just a bit more niche (though with the internet is there such a thing as a niche perversion?). I had an old Morrocan coin that I used for coin flips in Yugioh (I used a surprisingly large number of cards that required flips). It had two sides naturally, one had a camel (which was 'camel'), the other had some Arabic on it (which was 'Arabic'). It was a rural environs, so as long as I let the opponents choose, they always chose camel, and the coin was flawed enough that it was VERY often Arabic. It was good times! I really thought this game was going to be a turd of a gimmick game, but lo, you guys put on a hell of a show!
no lands don't have a color on them. Lands have a color identity but they arent a color themselves. Having a blue mana symbol in the text box of an artifact doesn't suddenly make it a blue card, same goes for lands.
Honestly if the all creatures deck had red it could run Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, which would just be busted for this format. All three other players would take 6 damage whenever they cast anything, since they don't have any creatures.
Richard - "This is a United States coin that I have found, and it's a special one!"
Seth - "It's called a quarter."
That's the best quote of the game.
Ver mont. as a Vermonter I feel gross he said it like that 😂 51:58
It's a quarter so I'm guessing there's only four of them. 😉
@@Mach1ne42 holy shit the second vermonter, I thought you were just a myth in all the trees here
Crim - "Sure is, flip that bad boy!"
6 minutes in Richard is already manipulating the table, “Phil wins because he can ramp” as though artifact decks can’t ramp.
Richard also tried to deflect that blue artifacts do the card draw even though he could have ran a blue deck.
Here is a list of mono blue artifact creatures that he could have ran as commander.
Nardole, Resourceful Cyborg
Nick Valentine, Private Eye
Jetfire, Ingenious Scientist
Memnarch

They can ramp plenty, just most of it gets blown up at some point or another. Nobody ever touched phil's lands...

Had battlethopter and had reservoir but failed to use the "I respond to my own cast trigger by casting another spell" trick which would have gained him something like 64 life before the monument triggers.
1:46 You win in simic one of three ways: mill yourself, mill your opponent, Big Stompy Ooze (My favorite)
At 17:00, Phil takes 6 commander damage from Seth, but his life total didn't change to reflect it.
Kellan is actually pretty broken in the fact he has that adventure and if you cast his adventure it reduces commander tax overall. For example if Kellan dies his creature cast cost will be six but if you adventure him it’ll be only four, and so on. You may have to wait an extra turn to play him again but it gives you the ramp that simic wants as a bonus. Also provides protection and he’s a flying vigilant creature so all around in my opinion a solid simic commander from murders at Karlov that I haven’t seen a lot of play.
Just an fyi all is dust destroys lands too
Watching this video *after* Crim's "starts in the C" deck and seeing him complain about the sorcery deck casting creatures is very funny
With this tabletop games, I'm curious about the takie-backises count. Maybe it could feature in the stats episodes
22:07 as yurioh player this always baffle me because if a monster copy another which have eth trigger, it wont proc because by the time it copy, it is already on field
Magic has always handled that slightly differently, because we really like clone effects. If it helps, "as this enters," and "when this enters" are completely different. With "as", it's already a copy by the time we acknowledge it's only the field. With "when" it would work like in yugioh.
I've got an all-enchantments Anikthea deck (with Umori companion) and it rocks.
I feel like Richard maybe held back by going for a colorless artifact commander instead of something like Breya. Bolas's Citadel alone would make me at least go for one of the Necrons.
Gideon of the Trials really does give a timeline for when the planeswalker legend rule changed, because Gideon didn't work with the old rule. "Gideon planeswalker" cards didn't exist until the change because planeswalker types weren't a thing until then
Not important, I was just thinking about it
49:30 Missed a Toski mandatory attack trigger.
Symmetry matrix!? Richard!😂
9 of his 28 creatures didn't even work with it. I would have gone Mazemind Tome, Investigator's Journal, and Hylda's Crown of Winter, not to mention Scroll Rack. Also surprised over Phyrexian Triniform over Triplicate Titan. That 12 encore cost is a meme, and if you drop it you get a flampler instead.
On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" it's the Scourge rumors all over again. Will Phil prove the rumors are true or will Seth crush all under the might of his Legions. Tune-in to find out!
Not sure if y'all take suggestions, but a week where everyone plays a steal/clone deck would be great!
Whats up with a list of cards in the decks??
4hours long Great Job editor getting it down to an Hour.
Crim finally, found the answer for Farewell
Final Act: I'd like to introduce myself.
What a great game, everyone got to do their thing, and everyone took a few turns at villain on the way.
"Alright Crim, fix it!" LMAO
Casting the creature half of a sorcery/creature card is not more of a betrayal of theme than running artifact creatures in the artifact only deck imo
Wait a minute….. where is the all battles deck ??!
i unironically would love to see all these commanders actually fight. but with no gimmicks. just good decks
Love how this game was basically 60% one sided board wipes.
Why did Richard destroy all of his artifacts to the Bringer trigger? Did something turn them all into creatures?
Where’s the all lands deck!?
At around 43 min, why didn’t Phil attack with Rex to get the lifelink?
Seeing Visions may not be the priciest drop, but the art is what Secret Lairs should be doing, you get 4 different versions and they're all amazing (and people hated this idea btw, hence they stopped doing it I guess), and the flavor is pretty sweet too. It also is a call back arguably to the FNM Serum Visions, which is... suggestive, to be polite. In it's own way that card is every bit as bad as Ekundu Cyclops, it's just a bit more niche (though with the internet is there such a thing as a niche perversion?).
I had an old Morrocan coin that I used for coin flips in Yugioh (I used a surprisingly large number of cards that required flips). It had two sides naturally, one had a camel (which was 'camel'), the other had some Arabic on it (which was 'Arabic'). It was a rural environs, so as long as I let the opponents choose, they always chose camel, and the coin was flawed enough that it was VERY often Arabic. It was good times!
I really thought this game was going to be a turd of a gimmick game, but lo, you guys put on a hell of a show!
For the all is dust are lands counted as colored permanents ? because i thought kind of everything was supposed to go.
no lands don't have a color on them. Lands have a color identity but they arent a color themselves. Having a blue mana symbol in the text box of an artifact doesn't suddenly make it a blue card, same goes for lands.
I would have loved to see an all sorceries deck with Magar as the commander. You get creatures with sorceries.
Phil should have used the strixhaven mimic sorcery commander I know that one side is called journey to the oracle
59:08 I have no idea why crim and not Seth oof
Is mightstone weakatone not an illegal card to have ina colorless deck? Since it has. Blue white meld identity.
Meld does not affect color identity.
I thought so too until recently. Apparently the rules changed some time ago for whatever reason.
This was fun thanks guys.
Honestly if the all creatures deck had red it could run Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, which would just be busted for this format. All three other players would take 6 damage whenever they cast anything, since they don't have any creatures.
