      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.

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.

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.

      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.

      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.

    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".

      because killing a commander on sight is often bad threat assessment and you're often just handing the game to the player who is the immediate threat. I also love how commander players always just assume there is enough removal in everyones hands to deal with every threat that drops. If you waste all of your removal on orvar, how are you dealing with other threats. Beyond this, good orvar decks make it extremely, extremely difficult to actually kill him.

      @@anthonymarciano6050 Muldrotha is fun but I personally feel like Meren is more consistent. Having a cheaper "mana value" helps a lot, too

    I just don't understant Lady destroying the red changeling. The moment the saw Josh tutoring for Cyclonic Rift they should had tried to kill him or force him to use it. Also, if Josh had the combo drake ready, why wasting a turn to attack with them instead of just Blue Sun Zenith to finish sooner and take everyone else out of their misery.

    Those were some sweet decks. I like the race to combo at the end. Imagine if Beky had lands earlier. She probably would have gotten to Squirrels so fast!

    Felt like power levels were very different among the decks. Not sure Josh could have lost as long as he stopped the squirrel combo at some point.
