      It's just not entertaining anymore when Josh always declares another deck to be completely overpowered and then wins with a combo (in a deck from which all combos have supposedly been removed).
      There is often no one right play in EDH, but Deathsproud was highly questionable without prior conversation.

      Damage calculations after going infinite and choosing a finite number is less interesting. He could’ve easily made 25,004,944 drakes and done a good six hundred trillion damage instead, or made a google plex drakes and done an inconceivable amount of damage.

But given players use an "arbitrary large number", you might as well just call it infinite given it has the exact same purpose, sounds more impressive (both to win with and lose against) and tends to roll better off the tongue. But tbh this is just rule 0 talk. If you don't like the concept of infinite, talk with your game table and see if they are fine with infinite (arbitrary large amount) damage or not.

Finally i gave up and said the rest of the table could deal with him and started working on developing my own board state, but they refused to do anything about him. A turn later there were 10000000000 Archaeomancer's swinging out at all of us, three very confused looking faces and then me with a "WTF did you expect?" expression.

      Orvar is Mono-Blue Ramp. Insane, I know, but it is a thing. In my version of the deck, I would copy Mystic Sanctuary to get back the spells to do it again and again. I've copied Spark Double so many times with Orvar, copying Orvar, thus hitting multiple Orvar triggers on one spell. It is fun creating 20 lands out of thin air, especially in a Blue deck.

      hey, ex-Game Knights staffer here. Josh is infamous for being a sore loser, so people tend to let him just do whatever he wants. Funny story actually, the reason I don't work there anymore is because I made the mistake of trying to convince people at the table to target him during a casual game. Jimmy is generally a cool dude and he's the one who consoles Josh whenever he loses, which is why he's the only one who you see target Josh in these videos.
      After I convinced another player that Josh's value engine that was just sitting on the table was probably a more important target for removal than my mana dork, he took me aside after the game and gave me a long, teary-eyed speech about "bullying" and "harassment in the workplace", I think he had recently been crying because his face and armpits were obviously damp. I thought he was joking at first so I tried to play it off but he must've taken that as a challenge because he immediately took his shirt off and started trying to fight me. I eventually apologized but a few days later I got a text saying that they wouldn't need me around anymore. Dude still owes me my last paycheck too.

    He will be one of the first targets even if you take combos out cause the value is just insane. Just a reminder that commander does allow you to ramp for one mana! On top of that spell played being mostly a cantrip and that being the "baseline".
