This was one of the best games you've ever done. Thank you so much, Phil, for not killing Seth off when you had the chance! (also, to note: that final Mnemonic Betrayal was from the spun Vampire Tutor!)
Ya know when I started watching Commander Clash I thought Crim was the bad guy. Always playing control, stealing everyones stuff, playing all the counterspells, and always having the opposition agent. Now I have realized that Crim is the Anti-hero, he isn't trying to win just stop everyone else from doing a bunch of bull. In this analogy btw Richard is the true villain with his secret machinations. He assures you there is no way anything is going wrong after all his deck is just opossum tribal and there is no way he could combo into a win, shortly before comboing into a win. Seth is the obvious Villain what with the beard stroking and the obvious but understated plays where he is going to kill the whole board then freely admits to it when called on it if it fails. Tomer is the Protagonist, usually naive, mistakenly thinks Crim is the real villain, (understandable really) and he plays with a budget deck he made in his grandfather's card shop that he must use to win back his grandpa's soul. Wait that might be the plot of Yugioh. P.S. Love Phil, don't know who he is yet in the plotline tho. Season 2 Protagonist maybe cause Tomer got fired?
Phil is like a power-crept commander. If you leave him alone, he’ll out value everyone and absolutely annihilate any hope of pulling out a win. He’s probably the most Archenemy/super villain of the group.
This was the best video yet. Just a thought for a future episode, have a meta-game week, where each player makes a 50 card deck, then everyone sees someone else's deck (in a circle) and builds the remaining 50 cards to try and wreck the other player's deck's gameplan. If you metagame someone into getting last place, that counts as a win.
Seth not playing Dranith to avoid the grixis commander to cast from exile, because he was afraid of his creatures dying because of the spell that was in exile...
Awesome game! Thank you Tomer. I may now have to look at that Bell Borca deck, looks sweet! Also love how you guys all fought bravely against a modo crash and came out victorious after a 15 turns marathon. Clash on.
2:27:42 Richard: What the hell is this? The theme of this entire game summed up in one question. Quite brilliant gameplay, guys. Beautiful decks, Tomer. Perfect for your friends. That'll show them for voting you off the island.
At 2:57:42, Seth's one-word response to Crim's 839th complaint about difficulty using the interface is the most blatant straight-faced lie of the whole game.
BEST GAME EVER! I have watched every single episode of CommanderClash throughout covid times and this by far take's the cake. Also richard's most interesting win as well :)
There were just a million fantastic moments. Trying to catalog a few of them... - Seth's Worn Powerstone dying (and then it coming back!) - The loss of the Spare Dagger, lol - The can't attack Phil clause wrecking havoc with the team trying to beat Seth during the turn Crim controlled Seth - Sygg failing to get there from Richard on card draw, then getting there for Crim
Honestly I'm more likely to play a snarl than a temple. Always entering tapped isn't worth the scry so while not great the snarl potentially entering untapped makes it better than several rare dual lands in my opinion.
@@moontorment I like when an absent cast member does it. Someone who knows them and crafts a deck for each to enjoy. The time they had a viewer submitted playgroup was awful imo. They kinda just tried to fit into molds of the players and the decks were horribly balanced.
Deep Sea Kraken/Tidal Kraken are the biggest, straight up unblockable creatures. Pathrazor of Ulamog kinda is unblockable. Or Lochmere Serpent, if you count activated abilities. :)
Similarly, Stormtide Leviathan is an 8/8 with Islandwalk that makes all lands Islands. So unless your opponents are landless, he is effectively unblockable.
One of the funniest episodes with so many twists and turns, 7 mana for a 1 mana spell and vice-versa. People going to 1 or 2 life and then coming back, etc. So many great moments.
As a mono-black main Varragoth is good, if you drop him on turn 3 he can easily demonic tutor twice for you. And since all of my decks run Boots and Greaves Varragoth plays super well off those two. Plus there’s the added politik value of targeting another player so that they can find an answer for the archenemy
Varragoth is a demon-send in my hell deck. Cheap demon that fixes the awkward draws and is easy to play out into Contract due to his low CMC. I love the card tbh.
Lol so nice of fired Tomer to give us a Possibility Storm game when he isn't around, but in all reality it was a weirdly functional storm game. Crim hit land drops and got a beefy Blatant and that gave the table a window back
59:09 "crim could've exiled seth's graveyard too" they did not think of the possibility that that brainstorm could've put a Rise of the dark realms or something like that second from the top or something xD
I didn't expect it of him at first, but he actually does lots of subtle lore references like that. Not on the nose like some other people, but that way I actually like it more.
At 2:44:43, when Crim attacked with Leila, she flipped Greater Gargadon into playable exile. If Crim had suspended the gargadon he could have made Seth sacrifice all his lands using the Gargadon activated ability LOL. XD
I just love how amazingly detailed Phil's articles are, expecially compared to Seth's completely Blank "Magic Arena Bug Tribal Deck" I know this isn't that video, but I just finished watching and x'ed it out so this is what you get :P
I saw Tomer building this deck and I was like thats it your outta here....hahahaha....I didnt even know there was a 16 drop, haha...the banter is great in this one!
I can feel the Editor's pain at 2:44:04. I don't even want to think about the editing for this episode, especially with all the sweet graphics upgrades...
Been more than an year or so since I watched a comander clash... becouse the videos are too long, but I laugh so hard I am proably start watching at them again XD
Deep Sea Kraken is a 6/6 unblockable. And of course, Stormtide Leviathan is effectively an unblockable 8/8 as it makes all lands into Islands and has Islandwalk. It's also a pretty nasty stax piece, making it so only creatures with Flying or Islandwalk can attack at all.
Snarls are like bad fast lands, they usually can come in untapped early on, but rarely late game. The only other rare dual land cycle that might be worse are the tribal duals from lorwyn, or the temples maybe.
As an INCARNATION, Anger is pretty much a force of nature, something akin to spirits (ghost-like semi-tangible lifeforms(?) that can come in any shape; ie: dog, penguin, humanoid, tentacle horror, etc.). Keeping it simple, Anger is a spirit with a physical body that is the combination of all anger from the planet, probably? Given intelligence is required to some degree to feel anger (though animals have a lower intelligence but they're more retaliatory than angered when they appear to act out in anger), its form with arms and legs makes sense-i guess?
He is sitting a season of Commander Clash out. He is returning next. He is making videos and streaming for Goldfish full time. It’s a bad joke that he was “fired.” He was not.
I don't know if the card was exiled from the library because the board state became really confusing. But Crim could have tutored Mnemonic Deluge with Scheming Symmetry when he went for Worst Fears. With it, he could have cast either Cruel Ultimatum three times or Blatant Thievery three times. And with Increasing Vengeance, he could have gotten two additional copies of Mnemonic Deluge to get both Cruel Ultimatum and Blatant Thievery three times plus maybe Heroes Remembered or Acquire three times.
Couldn’t Seth have casted the Return to Dust after the Possibility Storm hit the field, but before the Drannith Magistrate landed, to exile the Storm? Idk if he’d win at that point, but it would have stopped the lock.
I was waiting Richards entire last turn for him to misplay and play possibility storm so you could return to dust it before magistrate came down and you didn't see the line. I was so disappointed even if it pry didn't change the outcome.
In case you are unaware, Tomer is just taking a break for a season, and working on other content and his streaming. He streams at least twice a week here on this channel, maybe more.
I think Richard had the finish after Betrayal landed no matter what. Increasing Vengeance was in the stack of cards. He could have copied any counter spell, or done another Geyser.
Just imagine how epic would it be if Seth just topdecked a sunscorched desert to deal 1 damage to Richard and ended up winning with one life and through the lock
I love that they are playing in to the Tomer getting fired memes still, and I think it's cool they had him make decks for the crew this week!!
I think it's kind of sad that they fire the guy and then make a whole episode mocking his decks, talk about salt on the wound.
@@jeremyphillips3087 it felt like mocking to you? I thought it was more honoring his legacy and stuff
Was he really fired or is that part of the joke? I don't know the story.
@@Telomerase9 it's just a joke. People thought Tomer was fired because he was taking a break from recording Commander Clash this season
I’d love to see a Tomer reaction video to this going over what he expected to happen versus how each player played the decks
Get that reaction CONTENT
That would be great
I can tell you that I expected people to cast their commanders asap since their decks are built around them D:
@@MTGGoldfishCommander agrees and atleast crim lived up to that
@@MTGGoldfishCommander I can see how that would have worked better, yeah
Richard's face when he noticed that he had the wrong art for Witches... Breaks my heart
Technically, this was a viewer submitted deck week.
This was one of the best games you've ever done. Thank you so much, Phil, for not killing Seth off when you had the chance! (also, to note: that final Mnemonic Betrayal was from the spun Vampire Tutor!)

Crim lost first last week. He better be saying CLASH ON!
Phil letting Seth live to keep Possibility Storm going really is the purest form of EDH.
Phil is the hero of this episode, 100%
1:44:44 "It's funny tho" is why I love Phil as a member, hommie doing it for the meme
Phil has been such a fun addition to the crew this season. Love him.
Seth not playing Dranith to avoid the grixis commander to cast from exile, because he was afraid of his creatures dying because of the spell that was in exile...
The origin story of Phil playing Blatent Thievery in every deck :D
Next time somebody brings up how people always draw their signature cards in Yugioh Anime..I am gonna point out Richard and Dowsing Dager.
Heart of the cards
its richard's duel links skill
It’s almost as if it’s searching for him.
Awesome game! Thank you Tomer. I may now have to look at that Bell Borca deck, looks sweet! Also love how you guys all fought bravely against a modo crash and came out victorious after a 15 turns marathon. Clash on.
This was such a great episode!!! Going through some bad stuff right now and this made my week. Keep up the good work!
You got this, Emanuel!
@@MTGGoldfishCommander Awee thank you so much. Now seriously this episode was NUTS!!
I love the Goldfish editor's note, LOL
Crim just changing "I'm a gamer." over and over is my favorite thing ever.
2:27:42 Richard: What the hell is this?
The theme of this entire game summed up in one question. Quite brilliant gameplay, guys. Beautiful decks, Tomer. Perfect for your friends. That'll show them for voting you off the island.
Crims play with scheming symmetry is so god tier I love it, also just a hilarious game with possibility storm what a meme card!
That literally instant Karma on Phil was so good. He hadn't even finished his evil monologue.
Every time they say clash on my power level rises
Richard didn't use many daggers, but he still successfully stabbed crim in the back.
More decks by the "friend!" This was the best we have seen in a long time!
At 2:57:42, Seth's one-word response to Crim's 839th complaint about difficulty using the interface is the most blatant straight-faced lie of the whole game.
They really put friend in quotes lmao. Gotta respect tomer for taking the jokes.
R.I.P. Dowsing Dagger. Some would say we hardly knew you, some would say we knew you too well.
Seth... exiling the dagger... the move of a true FRIEND, lol.
Seth: What do you have?
Richard: A knife!
Seth: No!
Crim seems so confused by having a functioning mana base
The highest power creatures that can't be blocked are a couple of 6/6 krakens with high mana values (although one has suspend 9 for 2U).
The highest unconditionnal unblockable I could find is Tidal Kraken (6/6).
Progenitus is a 10 10 with pro everything
BEST GAME EVER! I have watched every single episode of CommanderClash throughout covid times and this by far take's the cake. Also richard's most interesting win as well :)
I think Phil has just the right amount of detachment from the politics that overtake the rest of the table, and it allows for great games like this
There were just a million fantastic moments. Trying to catalog a few of them...
- Seth's Worn Powerstone dying (and then it coming back!)
- The loss of the Spare Dagger, lol
- The can't attack Phil clause wrecking havoc with the team trying to beat Seth during the turn Crim controlled Seth
- Sygg failing to get there from Richard on card draw, then getting there for Crim
The turn Richard got the lock, Seth could have broken it by casting Return to Dust on the Possibility Storm since Richard cast them in the wrong order
you saw that too? thought i was missing something lol
This was a fantastic game. :) I'm really glad it wasn't just another modo crash. :)
Honestly I'm more likely to play a snarl than a temple. Always entering tapped isn't worth the scry so while not great the snarl potentially entering untapped makes it better than several rare dual lands in my opinion.
I usually jam both in enemy dual color decks but am happy with neither. Boros, Orzhov, etc don’t have a plethora of options.
@@ms.sysbit5511 I feel this.
There are even worse rare duals. In Tempest there was a cycle of painlands that entered the battlefield tapped.
@@whaleofdarkness I totally forgot about those
Snarls are just playable. 30% to be untapped is way better then 0%.
The week when Seth built decks for everyone is still my favorite episode
Could you share a link or search term?
@@ir0nst0rm season 4, episode 23
@@ms.sysbit5511 thank you, kind sir!
I hope this becomes a theme, would like to see a Richard week
@@moontorment I like when an absent cast member does it. Someone who knows them and crafts a deck for each to enjoy. The time they had a viewer submitted playgroup was awful imo. They kinda just tried to fit into molds of the players and the decks were horribly balanced.
I never play commander but always watch clash. So good and I laugh constantly.
I just wanna mention that Phil's Shivan Gorge from a couple weeks ago would have been a game changer this week!
Deep Sea Kraken/Tidal Kraken are the biggest, straight up unblockable creatures. Pathrazor of Ulamog kinda is unblockable. Or Lochmere Serpent, if you count activated abilities. :)
On the "kind of unblockable" side of things, there's also Demolition Stomper, a 10/7 Vehicle that can't be blocked by power 2 or less.
Similarly, Stormtide Leviathan is an 8/8 with Islandwalk that makes all lands Islands. So unless your opponents are landless, he is effectively unblockable.
progenitus? protection from creatures and block spells makes it unblockable? 10/10
Seth literally giving Richard the Dagger by removing it, Tomer set that up perfectly
On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" will Crim steal all of Richard's knives or will Phil make everyone else kill each other? Tune in to find out!
One of the funniest episodes with so many twists and turns, 7 mana for a 1 mana spell and vice-versa. People going to 1 or 2 life and then coming back, etc. So many great moments.
Speaking of cards that return things from exile, there's one more I'm aware of in addition to Pull From Eternity and Karn - Riftsweeper.
In black can't you use masterminds acquisition?
@@iainwalker-brown1536 no, the exile zone is not outside the game. In sanctioned mtg outaide the game refers solely to your sideboard.
Of course the Tomer game goes three hours, of course it does. The durdle champ reigns supreme.
Varragoth turn 3, swing on 4 to tutor for Opposition Agent, turn 5 play agent and force an opponent to tutor with Varragoth.
Oh nice! That's a wild synergy!
I love that crim thanks the second sun at 44:39
As a mono-black main Varragoth is good, if you drop him on turn 3 he can easily demonic tutor twice for you. And since all of my decks run Boots and Greaves Varragoth plays super well off those two.

Varragoth is a demon-send in my hell deck. Cheap demon that fixes the awkward draws and is easy to play out into Contract due to his low CMC. I love the card tbh.
I LOVE the new name tags! looking snazzy
Lol so nice of fired Tomer to give us a Possibility Storm game when he isn't around,
but in all reality it was a weirdly functional storm game. Crim hit land drops and got a beefy Blatant and that gave the table a window back
The Phil-o-fort
CLASH ON!
Phil is always wearing an outfit that matches his deck :P
59:09 "crim could've exiled seth's graveyard too" they did not think of the possibility that that brainstorm could've put a Rise of the dark realms or something like that second from the top or something xD
17:08 "I see you guys next game. Clash on..." lol
Seth did say it was going to be a long one.
It's so funny that Tomer week turned into a long chaos game.
Who's this "Tomer" guy they're talking about?
(out of sight, out of mind?)
Nobody:
Nobody at all:
Crim: thank the second sun!
I didn't expect it of him at first, but he actually does lots of subtle lore references like that. Not on the nose like some other people, but that way I actually like it more.
At 2:44:43, when Crim attacked with Leila, she flipped Greater Gargadon into playable exile. If Crim had suspended the gargadon he could have made Seth sacrifice all his lands using the Gargadon activated ability LOL. XD
Sadly Greater Gargadon was in exile, and you can only suspend from hand, and Gargadon can only sac stuff from suspend.
I just love how amazingly detailed Phil's articles are, expecially compared to Seth's completely Blank "Magic Arena Bug Tribal Deck"
I know this isn't that video, but I just finished watching and x'ed it out so this is what you get :P
3 hs, great game! Lots of twist and posibility storm takes the mvp of the game
There are multiple artifacts Richard that pull from exile most are used in combos However.
I saw Tomer building this deck and I was like thats it your outta here....hahahaha....I didnt even know there was a 16 drop, haha...the banter is great in this one!
ive been a long time watcher and this was the most funny episode ive ever watched
That's the ledge on a balcony 57:54
CLASH ON
The biggest fully unblockable creature is Deep Sea Kraken!
Nothing better then some really fun jank piles.
I can feel the Editor's pain at 2:44:04. I don't even want to think about the editing for this episode, especially with all the sweet graphics upgrades...
It took a while, but at the very least it wasn't during a preview season.
Oh god, my wrist hurts just thinking about it.

What about the lands from from the shadows over inistrad Era that would make you reveal a specific creature type?
Snarls are like bad fast lands, they usually can come in untapped early on, but rarely late game. The only other rare dual land cycle that might be worse are the tribal duals from lorwyn, or the temples maybe.
man what an epic game, possibility storm is too sweet

I'm playing snarls over the tribal duals from lorwyn or w/e and the tapped painlands from tempest every time.
Richard is a evil genius for this one
5:05
Own opinion, but the Temple Cycle. Sure, free Scry, but still, tap with no way of untapping and it isn't even a dual land.
Thinking of building this dagger tribal, would love an explained deck tech
Couldn’t Seth have casted the Return to Dust after the Possibility Storm hit the field, but before the Drannith Magistrate landed, to exile the Storm? Idk if he’d win at that point, but it would have stopped the lock.

Clash on!!! Louder!!
Tidal Kraken is the biggest "non-cost" unblockable creature I can think of. Lochmere Serpent is the biggest with cost I can think of.
Has Tomer been Fired 😨, did he overwork 🤔.

Does anyone know which platform they are playing on? I've been looking for an online way to play commander for a while, and this looks awesome
You have to pay for it. It's wizards older online client mtgo
I think the largest (by power) unconditionally unblockable creature is 6/6. There's two with these stats: tidal kraken and deep-sea kraken.
what about progenitus? 10/10 and protection from everything?
@@that-one-genz7835 I didn't even think about protection. Good call.
Wow what a great game! I got tired just from watching it. Cool stuff.
Seth just stabbing Richard in the back there with the dagger removal
Pathways are worse than Snarls. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Still rather play pathways over snarls though
Just imagine how epic would it be if Seth just topdecked a sunscorched desert to deal 1 damage to Richard and ended up winning with one life and through the lock
Tidal kraken is a 6/6 unblockable from mercadian masques for 5uuu
