Valduk is so simple, but SO cool. The moment he started piling on the treasures, I thought, "Man, now all he needs is to have Bludgeon Brawl out". And then he did!
its crazy to see how different my valduk deck is, and in comparison how cheap probably. My Valduk deck is basically cheap artifact spells go wide and hit as fast as possible. This Valduk deck was value town. Crazy. inspiring statuary is such a good card, its insane.
I gotta say, as a veteran Valduk player, Dom put a bunch of straight power cards his deck really doesn't need to sing. The jeska's will & the underworld breach did a lot of work for him, but they do a lot of work in any deck they are in. The version I play is also nowhere near as creature heavy. It was a really cool spin to turn an equipment deck into a creature storm deck, but I suspect it gets a lot of hate considering he played over 150$ over 5 cards lol It also felt like maybe that pushed the deck over the point of "same relative power level as the 3 other decks" and that's basically my reason for commenting lol
it doen't appear that Dom discarded as the additional cost to unexpected windfall ( I realize you narrated it) it looks like he forgot going by the graveyard pile after.
Underworld Breach. Nonland cards in his graveyard have Escape (he can cast them from the GY by exiling three other cards from the GY in addition to paying the mana cost).
Another poorly timesd instant speed removal spell that warped an entire game. If that generous gift was saved for a card, that was an actual threat (like maybe a terror that came down the very next turn). This game would have been so different. The Bane would have been large for sure, but without haste, it wasn't even remotely threatening. The worst part of it was resolving whether it was of the field or not. Well, I hope they learn to wait until the end step before their own turn to cast such spells in the future.
Wait what's the legality of a non-creature legendary being a commander? If a legendary artifact vehicle can be a commander, could a regular legendary artifact be one? Could a legendary land also be a commander?
Under certain conditions, a noncreature card can be a commander. Some cards, mostly planeswalkers, have the ability "[This card] can be your commander". As of now, Shorikai is the only noncreature artifact with this ability. There's also Grist, who can be a commander because her ability makes her a creature card in the command zone. Finally, we have Backgrounds, noncreature enchantments that can be commanders if paired with a commander creature with the ability "Choose a Background".

Man, Valduk is such a cool commander. With the new printing of him, I am looking forward rebuilding him sometime soon!
Yeah I'm here for valduk lol. One of my favorite mono red commanders I've built.
He has a new printing?
@@scottricks1676 Well, new art rather. He was included in the multiverse legends in the newest set!
@@lorchenakumnarth6456 oh sweet! Didn’t realize that
That Valduk deck was exquisitely built. I love decks that sing like that.
The best EDH games on youtube seriously I cant get enough great job
always a treat to see a mono-red deck go wild.
Oh Lordy this game!
I remember being scared of mono red for a little after this
Mono red is so fun! Underworld Breach/Jeska's Will is one of my favorite red combos 🙌🏼
That was the most impressive Valduk I've ever seen. Nice tech with the Bludgeon Brawl!
Glad to see valduk win. Red decks for life dom 💪
More like Eric colluding with Dom to feed Dom cards. Even when Dom is WAY ahead. This wasn't a good game.
@@thengine7 matter of opinion but definitely good
Ape together strong💪
Another awesome game. This channel is great, thanks for the content, feel better soon.
Also, Valduk surprised me, wow.
@@ericap1098 Why would it surprise you that Eric fed him a ton of cards for free, and then Dom won? Super bad plays that ruined the game for everyone.
@Thengine Your opinion.
It's a well-made deck, and I think it was a good game.
Terror of the peaks and underworld breach are very strong magic cards
An unanswered Terror of the Peaks wins games handily, and this was no exception
Hello Andrew, what is the island you played at around 7:15? It's very cool.
New Tazri leading allies is a cool flex.
its crazy to see how different my valduk deck is, and in comparison how cheap probably.

This Valduk deck was value town. Crazy.
inspiring statuary is such a good card, its insane.
Yeah ive been playing mtg for about 10 years now so you do pick up a thing or 2 along the way. And yeah inspiring statuary is very good
Was rooting for mono green stompy or mechas but that Ancient Copper and Terror of the Peaks told me how it was gonna go down. RIP Tazri player too
I loved allies when they were first introduced! Definitely gonna check out that Tazri list
Would you be able to use the tap ability of shorikai 4:18? No haste and Came in this turn?
It's not a creature unless crewed. You can activate artifacts the turn they come in.
Setting Dom's playmat across from Matt's is hilarious.

So much unprovoked Shorikai hate today... what did you do to them in the past? 😅
Gotta say, that bane of progress destroyed my sould, I bet yours too Andrew 😂😂
I haven't been the same since.
5:59 That generous gift was such a waste lol. He really shoulda waited till the end phase of dom's turn before deciding to blow up something.
I'm confused as to why Professional Face-Breaker was getting out two-treasure tokens per combat. Did any other creatures have first strike?
Dom was swinging at and damaging two different opponents so PFB trigger gets him a treasure token for each opponent damaged.
@@davenelmes9520 ah, how could I miss that? Thanks!
it doen't appear that Dom discarded as the additional cost to unexpected windfall ( I realize you narrated it) it looks like he forgot going by the graveyard pile after.
I’m confused, how could Dom use Jeska’s Will multiple times?

Good music.
Red wins haha, cool gameplay.
I watched this hoping to see how he got Zopandrel out because I always struggle with it, proceeded to watch him not get Zopandrel out....
Holy hell that Valduk deck is expensive af lol (though it is really cool)
Did y'all bully Matt before the game? He came out swinging!!! Cool game as always
I owe my endurance to facing Dom's decks every week
@@thetemp7858 Truly - Requires skillful conditioning no doubt bahaha
I try my best to train the grasshopper haha

Shorikai explicitly states that it may be your commander.

MONO GREEN STOMPY, 🧠➡️🗑. MONKE TIME 🦍
Ah i see you're a man of culture as well
Since you're sponsored by cool stuff does that mean you live in Florida?
I was sponsored by them, but not anymore. And nope!
Equipment deck... 😅
does anybody else think that wotc has run out of creativity for names and now theyre just random syllables?
Yeah… underworld breach is a busted magic card.
Me seeing Zopandrel: “oh boy I hope Mat wins!”
Me seeing that Mat taps his cards to the left:
“I hope you lose miserably you uncultured swine”.
:(
