He can't, because once the pod activation is being resolved, there is no change of priority until the effect puts the creature into play. And as soon as elesh norn enters, the game will see the Remorsful Cleric a 0 Toughness, "killing" it in a spot.

@@ConsoleCleric Yeah, you are right. I thought you were referring to the discussion, they had at the table when elesh norn came in. Before resolving the pod activation, he could have done it, of course.
Something worth noting, in order to “fizzle” a spell with multiple targets, you have to make ALL of its targets become illegal. Sacrificing one of the targets will still have the spell resolve with each of its remaining legal targets.
@@joedoe7572 608.2b says, basically, that the spell will do as much as possible and will simply have no effect on the targets that have become illegal since the spell or ability was put onto the stack.
@@connorl0204 that would be true if it had the option to resolve without that target. But a spell like Curse of the Swine doesn't have that option, as it specifies a specific number, so it's all-or-nothing. It will either exile X targets, or it won't exile any of them. If part of its resolution can't resolve, that part will fizzle; in this case (a non-modal spell), that's the whole spell

Great game Never knew you can take Hofri in direction and got interested in building a deck with him. But the match was long enough for me to cook, eat, continue watching, and fall asleep.
This entire match was full of references of classics and at the same time Game of Thrones. It was an incredible watch. Seeing everything unfold on the edge of my seat not knowing what's going to happen next. Definitely did not see the plot twist coming at the end with rofry on top. 10/10 episode!
If the reference at 43:02 was a reference to Narnia (specifically Prince Caspian when Peter says, "Cair Paravel was a, what do you call it? A peninsula!"), then I got it. If not, oops. Go read the Chronicles of Narnia.
That was a good comeback. I don’t make deals because this is a prime example of why a player can comeback even at 2 life. The guy playing Tuvasi had a few opportunities to kill mitch and it came back to haunt him later.
Love that Hofri deck Mitch, Might just build it after Commander Legends: baulder's gate. was not expecting to pull that win from out of nowhere. Amazing episode!
Question, when Alec played the Ondo Inversion, Eric also had Kestia get destroyed. But it had a snake umbra attached to it, right? Shouldn't the totem armor have protected her? Also why didn't Eric attack Mitch with the bird and Danitha on that turn before the mob rule? He could've swung the sentinel and the sanctum weaver at Alec and then attached the aura onto one of the things attacking Alec. Yeah there is a chance Mitch had some interaction in his hand but at that point he might as well have gone for it rather than giving Mitch another turn
Also, at 1:28:16 mitch would do no damage, as Eric controls the enchantment for lifelink still, even if mitch controls the creature? I think that's how that interaction goes?
Great content, I'm loving the channel. I'd love to watch a mono-colored commander video, playing perhaps not the top-tier but some fun options. Also Eddie please play the mono black deck.
@mitch why do you hold yourself to budget restrictions when the rest of the table doesn’t? Cause your whole channel is based around budget? Do you ever play your friends deck?
Is there a video on this channel that explains why Mitch is budget to such an extreme? I call it “extreme” because sol ring is less than a quarter over a dollar, and he doesn’t play it, despite every commander deck coming with one. I’ve watched for a while and I don’t remember this being explained.
I've yet to see a Noyan Dar deck do well. Mitch's deck seemed to be a little all over the place, feels like more focus on threaten and sac and less on wheels and looting would have been better.
9:00 which is why you NEVER play mill cards unless you are a dedicated mill deck or you wait to play that card right before you combo out and mill everyone's entire deck. Filling opponent's graveyards is never a good idea
SPOILERS! It's almost as if they forgot Mitch was playing a threaten deck and kept letting him live.....Wowzers! Is this the first game Close Quarters Mitch has won?
No, it does not, because it was under the control of it's owner at the beginning of the turn, it became a creatur. It is irrelevant, if it was a different permanent type then, because it is still the same permanent.
Arixmethes should've been a creature when Ondu Inversion happened. The slumber counters go away on all spells. In the game, they only went away on non-creature spells
Watching a game like this get boring !! What's the point keeping an opponents at 3 life for so long !! Juste kill him, to get less opponent and make the game faster so you can make another game after ....
BS!!!! They let the host win!! He had three life left and he wins the game, bullshit! If that was a real game, Mitch would have been gone a long time ago.
This was a great game! Lots of back and forth, and everyone got to shine at some point. Loved it.
Been watching commander games for the past five years and I think this is the second match I ever saw Noyan being played👍🤘😎
He got a lot more support from the indestructable taplands in MH2.
Damn i might need that pig playmat
1:09:05 - Just screaming at the monitor at this point. *Sac the Remorseful Cleric to exile Eddie's graveyard! Exile Kokusho!*

But with Curse of Swine, it would fizzle if you get rid of one target, because it's not a modal spell, and it doesn't say "up to X creatures"

Hey Mitch! Bought the Hofri deck and the first time I played with it I won!! Thank you for making an awesome deck!
Great game

Commander Quarter's - Come for the Commander gameplay. Apparently stay for the Mean Girl references and jokes.

By far the best edh gameplay content in youtube ^^
Thx for great game again ^^
Ayee my boy Tuvasa seeing some gameplay! Thought i was the only one who played him after so long!
My main deck is Tuvasa :) so happy to see her shine

very good production quality, subscribed
keep it up! Love the content
That is such a cool deck Mitch!
Man, love me some karador gameplay!
What's sad about eddie blocking with those boars is they were even wearing gold so one might say Eddie had the golden pigs all along
Karador Ghost Chieftain rocks and is such a fun commander!
Remember everyone, the only life point that matters is the last one

No one expects the Spa-Mitch inquisition.
fun pig fact, if you release farm pigs into the wild, they become wild boars almost immediately
This is very interesting. I had no idea!
That Hofri deck seemed like a fun one!
The blame Eddie shirt though hahah!
Fun game!
Cool Game but you guys should check light or sleeves because most of the you cant see what card it is due to reflecting light.
Great content, I'm loving the channel. I'd love to watch a mono-colored commander video, playing perhaps not the top-tier but some fun options. Also Eddie please play the mono black deck.
Oh sick my first deck was also abzan 😋
I also have a Hofri deck, he's a total blast to play.
Can you share a list?
the kestia should not have died to the ondu because of totem armor
I dont know where I am I dont know what I'm doing all I know is that I blame Eddie for it.
The way Arixmethes' art is, I'd more call him an Archipelago.
Still not an island.
#BlameEveryoneButEddie
So how would alek get back curse of the swine? Dauthi voidwalker would have triggered on successful cast, a day exiled it, wouldn't it?
Hope to see all of these commanders to their own Janky thing today ( :
background music at 28:15 sounds lit
I love my own Hofri deck, it’s a keeper
@mitch why do you hold yourself to budget restrictions when the rest of the table doesn’t? Cause your whole channel is based around budget? Do you ever play your friends deck?
Love the game play, but I miss the funny titles from previous episodes. Is there a reason you aren't using those anymore?
What life counter app are they using?
You guys need to adjust your turn order every episode.
Is there a video on this channel that explains why Mitch is budget to such an extreme? I call it “extreme” because sol ring is less than a quarter over a dollar, and he doesn’t play it, despite every commander deck coming with one. I’ve watched for a while and I don’t remember this being explained.
It’s just his rules, all cards have to be under a dollar, very rarely will he add a generally unneeded card to his decks.
Couldnt mitch have stolen the dauthi instead, or did he not have any threaten cards in his hand?
it would be good, if you do something about the lightglare in your cards
I've yet to see a Noyan Dar deck do well.
Mitch's deck seemed to be a little all over the place, feels like more focus on threaten and sac and less on wheels and looting would have been better.
Just saying Mitch, hofri with dwarves/vehicles. Could be lit.
How did he cast curse of the swine at instant speed? Is it a sorcery?
He cast Quicken first, which let him play sorceries at instant speed
@@joedoe7572 I see that now appreciate it
New sub ! Liked 👍🤩🍀

Was thinking of making my Hofri a steal deck, but nah. Too much set up for that.

Anyone know what app they use to track life ??

To be fair, Alek had Ondu Inversion so I think killing him over Mitch was correct. Mitch just had a stellar top deck game.
@@Carrtoondragon yeah mitch was totally dead if he didn't gain control of Silent Sentinel when he did.

1:18:48 Arixmethes can't attack in the same turn the last counter is removed from it. It becomes a creature and has summoning sickness!
No, it does not, because it was under the control of it's owner at the beginning of the turn, it became a creatur. It is irrelevant, if it was a different permanent type then, because it is still the same permanent.
Stealing power it’s fair

Arixmethes should've been a creature when Ondu Inversion happened. The slumber counters go away on all spells. In the game, they only went away on non-creature spells
removing the counters is a may effect on your spells, so technically he can choose to not remove them on creature spells.
you don't have to remove slumber counters if you don't want to
Arixmethes ability is a may so there is no problem only removing counters on non-creature spells (though it might be suboptimal)
@@TD-bl9lb he did that on purpose, he knew the boardwipe was coming
