Yay, Jim back on camera. I don't blame him from stepping away from the spotlight for a bit and I may not agree with everything from the drama... but I love jim and his personality
@@justten6053 The Commander Rules Committee (that Jim was a part of) banned Nadu, Mana Crypt, Dockside and Jeweled Lotus a couple of weeks ago. The Rules Committee got death threats over this, and as a result of those death threats the Rules Committee has dissolved and Wizards of the Coast is going to take over control of the Commander format.
The threat assessment was pretty funny. Yeah, Wick will definitely storm off soon, but the squirrels don't have a food so there's no way they'd get a food.
I'm glad to see the Nethroi Modular deck come together after also having the idea put in my head a while ago. Even though Jim didn't win, it looks super fun to play, and I want to build it myself now
1:32 speaking of mixing foodstuffs that wouldnt typically be mixed, i had the idea this morning of making spaghetti, but instead of ground beef/italian sausage and marinara, use chopped brisket/pulled pork and bbq sauce. This idea came about because i bought my first house early this year and have financially recovered enough, finally, to have bought myself a pellet grill and pondering what things i could do now that i have access to homemade smoked meats.
Maddy the deck did not disappoint! Definitely the same experience I had with the deck - it’s sadly quite inconsistent despite having so many layered combos. I realised it isn’t the type of gameplay I enjoy which is why I took it apart. Aristocrats is still one of my favourite archetypes though, and enjoyed it doing its thing in someone else’s hands!
Glad you ran two games. The table snail infection win was a lot more interesting than the “I loop this cat 40 times” win. I really wanted to see Kudo pop off.
4 things. 1st, I feel bad for Maddy. 2nd, glad to see Jim back, I hope he's doing well;. 3rd, since the mutation entered the battlefield after Kudo, wouldnt it supercede it ande make Arwen a 0/1? and 4th, snail rain? Heavy weather? is this a jojo reference?
In game 2 when Jim Darksteel Mutations Arwen why does it remain a 3/3? I though both the base power setting effects are the same layer so they happen in timestamp order, so Kudo makes it a 2/2 then Darstell Mutation makes it a 0/1. Obviously the counter is there whichever but shouldn't it be a 1/2?
Not the best with layers, but kudo has one ability that sets the type (layer 4) and the power/toughness (layer 7). Because it is one ability that does both setting the type and the power, and because setting the type applys on layer 4, its base power remains 2/2. Edit: just realized darksteel mutation also changes the type to insect in the same block as it changes p/t. Therefor it should indeed also apply on layer 4 and be base 0/1
It wouldn't remain a 3/3, you use timestamp order for multiple things which set p/t. And no, it doesn't matter that either ability has effects at layer 4 - if an ability has effects at several different layers, the only special thing is that once it's had one of those effects it will also have the others even if it would stop applying for some reason, each individual layer still goes in timestamp order (barring CDAs or dependencies, neither of which were here).
Maybe I missed something, but SPOILERS FOR EPISODE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN how did the 10 damage from wick end the game? Was there another effect? Cause they were all above 10 life
Hello, may sound dumb to ask but how is Maddy able to sac food without paying mana? Unless I've just completely brushed over an important mechanic she played/used. My brain not worky... (Hold the phone! I get it, I GOT it. My brain worked...)
It looks like our Editing team forgot to update Maddy's Pronouns, we'll make sure it doesn't happen in the future. Cheers!
Does it really matter?
@@TheSpiritombsableyeto the vocal minority that care it matters ALOT so let them have it and live your life
Can you explain why Editor Phil had blue and red spells in his mono black commander deck?

Jim saying "which one of these holes should i put my finger in" is my new favorite spike feeders quote
I'm here for the none food, left squirrels reference. Also great to see Jim back
None pizza left beef mentioned in 2024!!!
The threat assessment was pretty funny. Yeah, Wick will definitely storm off soon, but the squirrels don't have a food so there's no way they'd get a food.
No whey! I haven’t seen protein hydra in forever 9:54
Great video! Took me way too long to remember Wick had infect and that is why ten was enough.
I didn't even think of tainted strike as an include in my wick deck. I see now I underestimated the snail overlords 🐌
So glad to see Jim back! He has such an amazing personality and brings such good vibes every game he’s in
Such a good episode. The vibes are vibing. And great to have Jim back!!
Fil won in one of the most interesting ways I've seen in my time playing Magic. Very cool combo!
I feel like Jim was setting up a reference from the office when he asked what kind of bear is the best lol
Glad to see Jim back. Love you Jim, thank you for all you do and have done for the community.

Yay! Jim! Nice to see you back. And also excited to see Maddy playing my decklist again :D

I was not expecting Tarkov references in my spike feeder video today.
Good to have you back Jim. You guys are brilliant, always be your spiky selves! 🌵
Nothing's quite as adorable as a creature titled "apex of death" :))
Great games though and I'm glad to see Jim's doing alright
Puns were on point! Almost overshadowed Alex's shirt.
Bringing Kudo to a Nethroi Modular fight is brave indeed.
Now more amusing when neither won.
Glad you ran two games. The table snail infection win was a lot more interesting than the “I loop this cat 40 times” win. I really wanted to see Kudo pop off.
Good to see one of my favorite commanders Nethroi get some love. One of my most explosive decks.
Love you Jim. Hope you're having a good week!
happy to see I'm not the only one who built Nethroi as 0/0 tribal deck! such a fun way to build it.
We love Jim, always good to see him!
None pizza with left beef reference is not something I thought I’d hear out of Alex
Great Games :) Hola Jim!!
The Spikes are the best in the business ❤❤❤❤
Yo Alex, where’d you get that shirt?
Jim glad you’re back. I love the Nethroi deck! I have a Colfenor modular deck ! Thought about switching to nethroi for less combos
Really happy to see Jim back! Fun games!
Finished a Ygra deck a couple days back, excited to squirrel storm. Bloomburrow is a sleeper and set of the year IMHO.
Glad to see Jim is doing good!
Happy to see Jim back!
Not one but two games with Jim? Thank you Spike Feeders!
Grateful to have Jim back
Spikefeeders out of context:
Jim: “which one of these holes should i put my finger in?”
Yay Jim is back! Missed you man!
JUSTICE FOR WICK🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 snail rain got me good
Editor Fil said “it’s a wrap!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Arcbound Mouser: Monica
Arbound Worker: Erica

Honey the spikes posted a video and it’s got multiple green decks, come quick!
That Nethroi deck is sick, I'm playing Omarthis modular right now but this has me tempted to switch
My favourite commander with my favourite art of it. Nethroii! :D
These all look like fun decks please bring back on again there nice comanders
Welcome back Jim! Missed him
Squirrels and Snails! What a treat!
Let's go critter commanders! Love them :) Would love to see an Alania deck played!
Love the content, finally was able to sign up for the Patreon!

Ah yes another excuse to scream SOLID AS A ROCK
Welcome back Jim.
Very casual infinite combo.
Probably a silly question how does kudo interact with ayalla queen among bears does she look for the bear as u cast on while in play
A WILD JIM appears!!!
Is editor Fil not worthy of the large spike dice ?😂
😮Didn't know you could buy Lotr commander pack from Costco!
Wick Snail Storm SEEMS great but I feel like it takes a bit to get off the ground, outside of filmed games has it performed really well?
No, lol. Don't build this deck - it's fun though! -Fil
@@TheSpikeFeeders The turn it worked SEEMED fun though hahaha, the idea is really cool, but thank you for the transparency!
None squirrels left food
Woah Bill rlly changed his hair and glasses
how are jims creatures pumped on turn 3?!?
This was great to watch, the best way to start my day. I'm going to ponder snails all day.
I’m so confused how wick won! Isn’t it only doing 10 damage??
I understand it now, infect for the dub
Why would Conclave Mentor get 4 +1/+1 counters and not 3?
*feeling bad for Maddy in the comments*
Yeeees, Jim's back! So good to see you!
i want to know where maddy and alex got their shirts lol also "toss a coin at your wicker" XD
I'm not sure where Alex's is from, but I got my space shiba shirt at Bandage Brigade. :) They have some really nice ones! - Maddy
@@TheSpikeFeeders never heard of them ill have to check them out
Lol, Tarkov reference. I love it!
Maybe I missed something, but SPOILERS FOR EPISODE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
how did the 10 damage from wick end the game? Was there another effect? Cause they were all above 10 life
He gave Wick infect with Tainted Strike.
@@TheSpikeFeeders Ohhh i completely forgot about that, thanks!
Eh, why are combo ends in edh just so bland? Anyway, glad to see Jim back.
More Jim. Can’t feel bad for Maddie cause she whooped game 1. More Jim’s brother, why is he out having a life?
FIL, FIL, FIL, FIL!
If I wasn’t subbed already I would have subbed for The Office reference. 😂
I only watch the vids with jim 😃
22:35 - Conclave Mentor's ability wouldn't apply to that interaction with Arwen (second ruling on the Scryfall page if you want to check).
Hello, may sound dumb to ask but how is Maddy able to sac food without paying mana? Unless I've just completely brushed over an important mechanic she played/used. My brain not worky... (Hold the phone! I get it, I GOT it. My brain worked...)
Things you can say during a Magic game and in a bathroom..... " I do not want to see yours too"
The return of Jim is an amazing sight to see! Much respect to him and the entire crew.
Wick, my beloved I have missed you.
Oh and Jim

We missed you Jim! You're a superstar🎉
Yes

I feel bad for Maddy. No I will not be providing context.
I'm not sure what that's in reference to lol unless it's the editor mistake in the video and then it's nbd! 😊
