Hey, unfortunately I couldn't access the decklists, the link you provided brings me to a blank screen with the mention "This domain is provided in test mode; use it only for testing. Please confirm that you are a developer:" Is it a problem on my end or with the link itself ?
Thoralf is still playing like he is in a tournament, thus why he tries to go for the kill as soon as he can, and thus why he always end up dead first by everyone ganging him.
This channel is not known for it's EDH gameplay in particular but I love the creative expression through the deckbuilding exercise that comes along with these challenges.
@@deutscher1a No, he did - watch again. They just shortcutted it to Carl taking 12 (Godo hit once for 6 because of Furnace, untap, hits again for 6 because of furnace = 12) EDIT - I'm an idiot. I watched again and saw he attacked with 2 creatures.
Not an editing oversight, wasn't accounted for the whole game, and this means Carl dies at 19:59. Also it means Eilidh's should be on 11 less, as Gary wouldn't hit Carl.
24:40 Tinybones trigger will have the controller of Tinybones draw a card and lose the 1 life. I guess the way she read it, sounds like you draw and the opponent loses the life, which is what the gameplay shows.
Yea, that bothered me as well, it's clearly the controller who is drawing the card that is supposed to lose life, otherwise it would make sense for the opponent to draw as well.
Honestly a blast to watch. Love the way each archetype was played, especially green voltron and black discard showing off the soul of each colour's philosophy. Yeah ok Carl's sound was funky, but even with such effort put into the video making process slip ups happen. Fantastic video, always great to see the EDHijinks crew as guests!
Don't let anyone tell you that unpopular cards mean bad decks, that was a commander game under 30 minutes! That's how long it usually takes my game group to actually show up, decide on a deck and resolve the Mulligans! Very impressive!
As a Chinese player, I could never have imagined that one day I’d witness Zhu Rong, the fictional lady from a novel, battling the historical figure Cao Cao, the first emperor of the Wei dynasty - all on an EDH table.
Zhu Rong was actually the only female to have fought in the Three Kingdoms Era of China that Portal Three Kingdoms was based on... She was the wife of Nanman chief Meng Huo, who tried resisting the Shu army 7 times and failed each time...
How dare you ruin my Dynasty Warrior fantasies related to Sun Shangxiang, Diaochan, Wang Yuanji, Daqiao and Xiaoqiao, Yue Ying, and more! They were all totally awesome warrior women! ... totally!
I just have to say, production value here is equal to Game Knights. The cardmarket team has REALLY developed their video editing game. You all are so good at your jobs
@@CardmarketMagicI believe everyone needs reminded of the impact they leave on others. You guys are building a beautiful community and amazing content. Nothing but respect 🫡
Love to see this! Me and my buddies have a format we call StinkyDH, where you can only play commander with 500 or less decks on EDHREC. It's so much fun to play, and this felt just like it!
@@8Smoker8 Thoralf is a pro player. He's been in top 8 several times. It might have to do with the distractions around him or the fact that he's German an the cards he's playing with are in English. It might also be that he's a human being and even humans that are very good at Magic make mistakes.
Two of my favourite decks to play currently are Tobias Andrion (40 decks) and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept / Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker (12 decks), so I feel represented! Love the premise!
8:40 Doesn't Thoralf get an additional combat phase after Godo attacks for the first time each turn? He would be able to deal 12 and then 6 more damage as Godo would be the only creature that untaps for the second combat phase.
0:56 Eilidh (or anyone really) pronouncing Cao Cao correctly was not on my bingo card. Amazing professionalism! Especially since the mandarin C sound is not one that appears readily in English (tsʰ in IPA).
A minute in and I have to say, big shoutouts to Eilidh and Carl for some of the best pronunciations for the PTK cards I've ever heard from MTG players. ♥
Yeah unfortunately, I'm the one who does the sound check so I can fix everyone's voice except for mine :/ which, in this case, lead to me having busted audio
Great concept for a pod/play session! Just gotta point out: Furnace of Rath doubles all sources of damage. Includes the 1 damage from crimes and the 2 damage from discarding. Not that it stayed in play long enough for it to make a big difference.
Furnace of wrath only doubles damage. Things like losing two life for discarding is loss of life and not damage :) The rules of magic make a distinction between the two
You might have a spell that does something based on the number of Forests you control (like the pump spell Carl played), and Yavimaya lets you have some other monocolor nonbasics (like Castle Garenbrig maybe) and still have them count as a Forest for spells like that. Since Yavimaya doesn't come into play tapped there is almost no drawback to running it.
As a non-magic player, it is super nice to see a commander game in this length, while still having a lot of silliness lol. Can be hard for me to find that balance, and this was pretty much perfect.
If anyone is searching for the deckbox at the beginning, I believe it's from gatherer's tavern not gamers tavern. Though googling the latter still shows them on the search results so you shouldn't have any trouble finding them.
There was an EDH format where you could only use Legends set commanders. Thought it was a cool idea and while I didnt make one of the decks, I was hoping the format would take off.
You are correct! I am the one doing the sound checks and setting up the mics 😅 So unfortunately, I get to fix everyone's levels except for mine. I usually set mine at the same level every time but it did not work in this case :/ we did everything we could to fix it in post, but we couldn't fly them back to record so this is better than scraping the video.
The commander may have been sub-par, but Eilidh's deck was bonkers. Imagine if Sheoldred was the commander, punishing people for drawing and punishing them for discarding
Thank you :) unfortunately there was nothing that could be done about my mic. I'm the one who sets up the studio and audio levels so I can set everyone's mic except for mine. I usually eyeball it pretty well, but not this time 😅
It has been a long time since I thought about Praetor's Grasp and I'm having the sudden realization that it should be in every black commander deck. That's good ramp from the Sol Ring stealer 9000
sick decks, sweet video;) spoilers; called the defile in my head but then the blossoming defense hot damn. Then the rancor into the berserk play meeting that sweet go for the throat. awesome stuff guys😊
The tiny bones trigger at 24:45, the wrong player lost life. The opponent does not lose life from this card draw. I think the 1 life did make a difference but I am not sure.
Haha, now that was some fun. And so much faster then the 1994 commander game from before - not just due to it not having a Shahrazad😀 Magic did change a lot over time and that's okay.

But it was a big misplay... He attacked with godo and didnt use his ability, neither the 2nd phase nor the untapping

🤓🧐👆Rules violation! at 3:37 Thoralf attacks for 3, but no damage is assigned!

Probably took them an hour to actually play, but it wasn't a super long game for sure.
Tbf the power level of the cards in these decks were pretty high, most people can’t afford to buy a demonic tutor for a gimmick deck
Bro have you seen their decks ? Some of the cards were broken 😂 of course the deck can be good with a bad commander if you make the 99 broken enough 😂

Thank you for your kind comment :) I'm really happy you enjoyed this, we put a lot of love into it!
Eili is always such a fun time, I enjoy her goofiness
She's hilarious :)
Is there a reason Thoralf didn't use Godo's ability? Not sure if it's an oversight on my part or theirs.
I think he misread Godo, since Godo is a barbarian and not a samurai (but still untaps himself)
Rookie mistake, Godo is a famous enough card. Was meta in standard too.
Not the first misread as Tinybones also should have pinged the person drawing and not the opponent.
I also think they misread intimidate

That last draw Sol Ring was a funny ending
I must say it's kinda genius how you can fit an entire commander game in 25 minutes, even with banter in between plays. Props to the editors!
"I will also bequeath some land types to y'all" is a particularly thought-provoking sentence
Did nobody else notice the three damage missed at the beginning of the game?
ya
Thoralf doing the most mono-red thing of all mono-red times: Hurtling himself at his opponents at such speed that he burns up before impact.

Great concept for a pod/play session!

Been loving all the guest appearances as of late. Really cool to see a bunch of mtg creators all slinging spells with each other!

Thoralf forgetting his extra combat with Godo hurt me... happend at 8:40 :
Question: why would you play urbog or yavimaia in mono color decks? Don't they just not do anything exept be a forest or swamp? Is it just to flex?
To make your Colorless utility lands tap for black :)
Forestwalk is generally good too.
You might have a spell that does something based on the number of Forests you control (like the pump spell Carl played), and Yavimaya lets you have some other monocolor nonbasics (like Castle Garenbrig maybe) and still have them count as a Forest for spells like that.

I keep thinking Thoralf is saying "Bavarian"
He just has trouble pronouncing barbarian :P
Now I want to hear him sing about Barbara's rhubarb bar.
The sound quality of Carl's lav mike is a little rough. I think it got a touch caught in your lovely shirt! 😮
You all made these decks seem way more popular than they are. Good game!
Being scared of an EMBERCLEAVE when godo comes out is hilarious. That's not the thing to fear
I got here in the first hour!? Let's GOOO!
EDIT: At 3:30, why didn't Eilidh receive 3 damage?
Even if they’re the least used commanders, this was a pretty good game.
If anyone is searching for the deckbox at the beginning, I believe it's from gatherer's tavern not gamers tavern. Though googling the latter still shows them on the search results so you shouldn't have any trouble finding them.

Cao Cao and Visara taking out everyone else before Cao Cao takes down Visara feels oddly lore accurate.

9:00 I can’t believe Carl allowed himself to be bluffed by Olivia when he had a guaranteed kill through a 1 mana removal spell.
Least played commanders turned out to be great fun. Well played
At 24:41 on Tinybones trigger, shouldnt Eilidh (the draw-person) lose the 1 life, not Olivia (the opponent)?
The tiny bones trigger at 24:45, the wrong player lost life. The opponent does not lose life from this card draw. I think the 1 life did make a difference but I am not sure.
It doesn't make a difference, Olivia had no flying blockers so she could still be hit for 1 and same end result.
Haha, now that was some fun. And so much faster then the 1994 commander game from before - not just due to it not having a Shahrazad😀 Magic did change a lot over time and that's okay.
Carl and Cimo would be great friends. They both love the damage step 🥰
As Usual, Thoralf get kill first because everyone fear him!
It's always the same at each EDH game, everyone fear Thoralf cooking!
Well... in this case thoralf died because he wasn't as scary as Olivia :P
But was there to be scared of with a protection spell in hand and her barely having any mana?
6:28 discarding cards should deal 4 damage, as furnace of rath doubles it.
Actually I am wrong. Lillianas caress says lose 2 life, so no its not damage. Sorry!
oh monoblack discard :D Waste Not and Liliana's Caress have a special place in my heart xD
these were some cool decks, would've liked to see more of Thoralf's, it looked interesting
