      Omg, Prof, just want to say how much I loved this season finale! It was so much fun to see you guys just chill, enjoy a super funny magic game, and crack up at every little thing.
      Spice & Sam are truly some of the most fun guys you've had on, and Marcus was really spectacular, too.
      Thanks for such a great vid, excited to see more in the following years!

      While it was funny, it also not a bad play. It is a big flample unit and it protects 8rack and while he and his demon on the field he is protected. Meanwhile he can flip his demon facedown just whenever causing him to lose and then anyone with negative life to lose. He was just playing a meme deck.

    1:41:23 Hilariously casting the All is Dust is suicide, since it can't make Spice8Rack's Abyssal Persecutor be sacrificed because of Jon Irenicus' effect, but Sam's Vesuvian Doppleganger can. So the Vesuvian Doppleganger will get sacrificed and Spice8Rack will lose the game, causing the Abyssal Persecutor to move back to the Professor's control, making him lose the game as well. Meaning only Marcus and Sam would tie/lose last. So Sam activating the Disk was him also commiting suicide.

By the way, he pronounces his name like "rally" without the "y", so just rall. I don't understand why that is the case, but I figured it best to not worry about it too much.

      Super late reply so my apologies, but there is a ruling on Ebonblade Reaper that "if you attempt to halve a negative life total, you halve 0." It's not mathematically what happens, but I think it works best for gameplay for it not to turn into a positive.

    • @blinky101
      @blinky101 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      @@taylorsherry4784 The reasoning for this I believe is this rule here:
      107.1b Most of the time, the Magic game uses only positive numbers and zero. You can’t choose a negative number, deal negative damage, gain negative life, and so on. However, it’s possible for a game value, such as a creature’s power, to be less than zero. If a calculation or comparison needs to use a negative value, it does so. If a calculation that would determine the result of an effect yields a negative number, zero is used instead, unless that effect doubles or sets to a specific value a player’s life total or a creature’s power and/or toughness.
      note that we're halving not doubling, so that doesn't apply.
      If you were to double, you would get double negative life.

    this is great one person is actually playing commander , one person is just here to ask riddles, one person is just giving away things which people are very ungrateful for and one person is having an existential crisis

    Wow. What a way to end a season, fantastic game guys.
    [SPOILERS]: And no one even won. Everyone went home defeated and sad at the end of the day, Eldritch Void Daddy Marx would be proud.

    This is still my favorite episode of this show. Possibly my favorite youtube commander video ever.

      It's this or commander at home #21 imo. At least they're the two best I've seen
