The alternate commanders in this set feel a lot more of their own build-around cards than normal alternate commander we've gotten before. Mr Foxglove and Arthur especially.
I am building around Wildsear, Scouring Maw (Gruul Wolf that gives Cascade to your enchantments) So far, the list is a Gruul Enchantress deck that has creatures that either lower the cost of the enchantment or draws a card when I cast an enchantment. I did implement a sub-theme with all of the cards that rewards you for casting spells from exile (cascade) or drawing your second card (also casecade).
I know it is just a dream, and the crew have likely recorded all the Bloomburrow they are likely to play, but I would love to see a series of games in which everyone played Tribal Decks for each of the different animal folk from this set. I just really want to see who wins in a battle between Bunnies, Mice, Bats, and Frogs.... And see how well realized the themes that the various races were designed with were realized.
You know, I like the Arthur returns at end of combat so you can cast the creature during your second main phase if you like. When you're hitting stuff like Spirited Companion and Aether Channeler that's pretty good!
Jerry, you should probably get that lump check out.. edit, Jan sun titan costs 6 mana not 5. also forgot the inferno titan trigger for junk winder and being able to pay x and deal damage equal to x, you had mana open.
Lore drop: if you read the little lore pamphlet that comes with the bumbleflower precon- mr foxglove tries to court ms bumbleflower constantly but she is completely oblivious to his attempts 😅 poor mr foxglove
Essaies-tu de gagner des fans québécois Alex😂 Vous êtes toujours ma référence pour les nouveaux decks à leurs sorties. Merci pour le produit de qualité.
Feels like Alex got the short straw in terms of the commanders if there's no upgrades to the decks yet. Of course luck and skill in piloting could still win out but I definitely think it will be an underdog win if so.
Jerry definitely could have lowered these life totals incredibly low if he first leveled that enchantment. Along with ending on a blasphemous act, that turn would have been hella big
Quick rules question for the spikes (because I’m genuinely unsure) - when Garruk’s Uprising ETB’d from Cascade, would that also not have triggered cascade because it’s an enchantment?
If you're asking about Wildsear's ability, it specifically calls out "cast from hand." Spells cast as a result of Cascade are cast from Exile, so they don't gain Cascade from Wildsear.
WotC missed the opportunity to give squirrels the support they need to get away from the usual Chatterfang food sacrifice strategy. Now we have Chatterfang and two legendary squirrels who don´t do much in the commandzone.
i think he was dead anyway in the end but i feel like Jerry's last turn would have been way stronger if he just didn't sac the commander lol. combine that with bumping the alchemists the last tier he could have had more control. not a big deal obviously, disagreements/arguable misplays are natural and i sure make plenty, but i have particularly seen people undervalue leveling the talents/classes in these showcases, especially alchemists.
16:36 Why did Alex block with all 3 creatures? He basically lost his Tireless Provisioner for nothing. If he wanted the card draw, he can just block with one rabbit.
Not to seem weird or judgmental, however: I noticed Jerry has some pretty interesting bulge near his tonsil area, maybe lymph nodes? Has he gotten screened for cancer or infection? I’m terribly sorry if I’ve pointed out a sore spot or anything embarrassing, I just noticed it during this video. I just want everyone healthy 😬
I know everyone is playing Hazel and the Odd Squirrel Gang because they are new but Chatterfang is still the better Commander choice. At least in my humble opinion.
The alternate commanders in this set feel a lot more of their own build-around cards than normal alternate commander we've gotten before. Mr Foxglove and Arthur especially.
As a human knight Arthur would be the perfect helm for the LotR Jeskai precon.
Except the squirrel alt commander, who's interestingly enough narrower than the face commander.

@@ryanflake3481 we did brew some typal decks for the casual brews episodes we're putting out.
Yes that would be awesome! Go bunnies 🐰
Sunbird's Invocation says X or less, so Jerry 100% could have chosen Spine of Ish Sah, it's not cascade
Thank you, was looking for this. Sunbird's is not cascade.
Always adore the intro for the decks and the little comments you guys leave for each one!
Anyone else notice the Chaos Warp artwork is a racoon being sent to Kamigawa? :')
I cant lie shouting out the local burrito place makes me so happy. Mostly because burritos make me happy. Oh yeah great game Spikes!
Official burrito supplier of Spike Feeders HQ!
Im soooo sad that Jerry got his Bello exiled, that turn was sooooo cool
Tempt with...Bunnies 😂😂😂 I love this set, thanks for bringing the alternate commanders to us, Arthur is quite naughty, I like it
You know, I like the Arthur returns at end of combat so you can cast the creature during your second main phase if you like. When you're hitting stuff like Spirited Companion and Aether Channeler that's pretty good!
The Odd Acorn Gang as a card/concept is just life for me. Adore them.
Jerry, you should probably get that lump check out.. edit, Jan sun titan costs 6 mana not 5. also forgot the inferno titan trigger for junk winder and being able to pay x and deal damage equal to x, you had mana open.
Yeah i was concerned about that tooo...
Hey! I appreciate the concern. I've had it checked out multiple times by specialists. Good news is it's just benign cyst so purely cosmetic!
@@jerry32123 good, ive watched you play before and never noticed it then. So it seemed new. Glad its nothing serious.
Excellent game! I’m glad to see that each of these decks is capable of going the distance.
The mouse knight with etb creatures is impressive
Lore drop: if you read the little lore pamphlet that comes with the bumbleflower precon- mr foxglove tries to court ms bumbleflower constantly but she is completely oblivious to his attempts 😅 poor mr foxglove
I love it when we get so much content! Cutest decks ever.
I think Jan missed that rose room trigger from the bunny coming. . . I could be wrong though
This is a great way to see the decks in another form keep up the good work!
Like this comment to ca va bonjour
Oui oui
Omelette du fromage?
Bonjour Alex ! Merci d’être ici, c’est un plaisir de vous avoir :D
Ca va bien, et vous?
Essaies-tu de gagner des fans québécois Alex😂 Vous êtes toujours ma référence pour les nouveaux decks à leurs sorties. Merci pour le produit de qualité.
Everyone ignored Junk Winder for some reason! That card is disgusting :x (also, Jerry had a Blasphemoous and didn't use it? D:)
15:57 Jan forgets to make a treasure?
Yes. He missed it on the beast within as well.
'I, Am That Is'
You absolutely love to hear it
Clevelander here! I LOL’d
You guys are awesome!
I can't wait to see a mr wolfglove deck modified I think he'll be a lot of fun
Proud Cleveland fan here, I'm adopting the theme for the new RG precon
Surprised you didn't attempt to dig for the twenty toed toad to see if you could find it.
I'm from cleveland and I feel seen. Thank you!
1:12 …tell me why specifically the spike feeders make me curious about what kind of food they eat so the shout out to the restaurant is goated
I love you Alex, you're my EDH hero
I see the Moxfield lists for the decks, but there's not a list for each of the alternate Commanders?
Its the same precon deck, but they use a different card from the deck as commander
Im in cleveland where am i going
Sort of from Cleveland. Hell yeah I'm going. 🤘
Dang these alt Commanders go hard!!
In Cleveland, definitely going
Feels like Alex got the short straw in terms of the commanders if there's no upgrades to the decks yet. Of course luck and skill in piloting could still win out but I definitely think it will be an underdog win if so.
Arthur the mouse was cool.
Hi Spike feeders, I was wondering how big your gaming table is? It seems to be the perfect size for 4 player commander
Hey! I got it from IKEA -- the product name is LANEBERG. It's 80cm x 130cm but extendable to 190cm with the insert that we have in.
@@TheSpikeFeeders Thank you very much :)
33:53 Alex should draw from Morbid Opportunist upon Kwain death
Jerry definitely could have lowered these life totals incredibly low if he first leveled that enchantment. Along with ending on a blasphemous act, that turn would have been hella big
Decklist for arthur?
I just noticed that 19:14 a "cephalid" reprint... When cephalids are no more... whyyyyyyy!!???!?!?!?
The odds were in his favor of getting something to increase his hand size after drawing that many cards but I would be tempted always.
I felt Alex's stare in my bones...
Quick rules question for the spikes (because I’m genuinely unsure) - when Garruk’s Uprising ETB’d from Cascade, would that also not have triggered cascade because it’s an enchantment?
If you're asking about Wildsear's ability, it specifically calls out "cast from hand." Spells cast as a result of Cascade are cast from Exile, so they don't gain Cascade from Wildsear.
@@alexmcgregor8658 I couldn't remember the card that was causing the trigger but yes - and thanks for clearing that up!
Menace would be out of the color cycle for Bant, but what about Mr. Doveglove with flying? I feel like, WotC missed an opportunity here :D
35:40 Sunbirds is X or less, not less than X, so he could have cast spine of ish sah here.
Happy to see #teamjerry gang
Odd Acorn Gang is cool but i dont think theres enough squiirels in the precon alone to support them
WotC missed the opportunity to give squirrels the support they need to get away from the usual Chatterfang food sacrifice strategy. Now we have Chatterfang and two legendary squirrels who don´t do much in the commandzone.
Shame Jerry never level up his class to lvl 3 all the time he used treasures he would have had cascade maybe finding an answer
REDWALL MENTIONED!
Jim’s hair looks rlly pretty
the squirrel deck has 2 alternate commanders
I would love for Jerry to sort his cards in some way haha its always so confusing on his board
i think he was dead anyway in the end but i feel like Jerry's last turn would have been way stronger if he just didn't sac the commander lol. combine that with bumping the alchemists the last tier he could have had more control. not a big deal obviously, disagreements/arguable misplays are natural and i sure make plenty, but i have particularly seen people undervalue leveling the talents/classes in these showcases, especially alchemists.
I'm doing my part
I was there with Jerry
16:36 Why did Alex block with all 3 creatures? He basically lost his Tireless Provisioner for nothing.
If he wanted the card draw, he can just block with one rabbit.
To kill the "I can put anything from my hand onto the battlefield" creature
Great match!
22:05 shouldn't he have cascaded on garruk's uprising?
Edit: NVM it's from hand.
Anybody else get the Odd Acorn Gang reference?
Should have sacked the selfless spirit to save his commander
That fox is wild
Cleveland Rocks!
What does Mr Foxglove say?
Why did discard blasphemous act?
@23:45 I don’t believe you can tap Kwain as it has summoning sickness
Kwain gets equipped with Swiftfoot Boots immediately after resolution ☺️
ENGAGEMENTTTTTT!
SWIPER NO SWIPING
If Jerry would have played blasphemous act before bello, the game was completely different I think.
Silliness
Alex is the fucking best
This comment is so Alex is less Sad
😂😂
Cleaveland Sucks. The Mistake by the Lake!
ill say it again i wanna have the squirrels win
That Bello deck is broken
Was Jim omitted from the video because of his unwillingness to not make Fox jokes?!! I came for the Fox song references!
Not to seem weird or judgmental, however: I noticed Jerry has some pretty interesting bulge near his tonsil area, maybe lymph nodes? Has he gotten screened for cancer or infection? I’m terribly sorry if I’ve pointed out a sore spot or anything embarrassing, I just noticed it during this video. I just want everyone healthy 😬
Thanks for being concerned for him, he mentioned to us before that it's a benign cyst.
Alex is the best
jerry boar is a mess! i dont now what is goin'on.
REDWAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!
Jeskai dominated
😂
I know everyone is playing Hazel and the Odd Squirrel Gang because they are new but Chatterfang is still the better Commander choice. At least in my humble opinion.
Maybe it's just me, but the way Jan focused down Jerry in this game just feels gross. Not a fan of this episode.
Meh, the game literally ended the next turn and he killed another player the same turn.
Oh yes let’s not focus down the man drawing half his deck and running away with value. What a joke
Yea that Bello deck is nuts
I fell asleep during Jerry’s turn.
He then claimed to not have done anything on that turn.
