@@paoloreitz1169 Ya, an odd piece of tech that people are confidently backseating how they assume the spell works. For a target to be chosen deflecting swat HAS to resolve, therefore it can't be countered, only the thing that can be countered is the spell deflecting swat is using. Also you're not supposed to be able to change your mind and 'curve' the swat's target when you announce any target for the first time but it's a friendly game so it's whatever. In short: You don't have to announce to the table what swat is targeting until after it's resolved, so don't. That way the only way to stop it is to counter the thing targeting your stuff, making swat into 'just' a free counterspell that also removes a counterspell from an opponent.
For me The Spike Feeders are the only crew which rocks as hard as LRRMTG. And then you guys release multiple videos with Wheeler and Serge as guests. Next highlight would be a few Spike Feeders in the LRRMTG studio playing Canlander.
swat resolves reselecting the target for pyro but there’s another round of priority with pyro on the stack afterwards which is when eliot countered pyro
Really curious why wheeler named human with cavern of souls because it seemed like it was for an opposition agent who is also a rogue that could have given an uncounterable Tivit
Do you guys play cedh all the time? If so, you guys do a great job recording a video. There are some channels that just fly through it. You guys are great!
Basically (though I think Crim was banking on Wheeler having interaction for the combo). Crim could've brought him to 2 life, where losing the Mana Crypt flip at upkeep would've killed him.
Trinisphere comes in last in the order of cost-modifying effects. If after discounts and taxes are applied the spell still costs less than 3, Trinisphere makes it cost 3. Sol Ring costs 1, plus 1 from Thalia for 2. 2 is less than 3 so Trinisphere makes it cost 3.
I'm very confused. The Pyrokenisis targeting Winota was deflecting swat to trymna, but was countered by Elliot... So Winota should have died... Was this just a misplay, or am I missing something?
The Pyrokinesis was countered, not the Deflecting Swat. In fact the Deflecting Swat had already resolved as the new targets are only chosen when Deflecting Swat resolves.
14:10 wheeler you FOOL! settle the wreckage is collector number 34, and if your opponents had realized that you were actually attempting to read "271" they would have been privy to the otawara in hand!
@@matteobagni1235it's not playing nice. You don't get to know the new target for the swat'd spell until you're past the point of responding to it. So he had to counter the burn spell once he knew it was being sent his way.
Because if Crim made the Pyro target someone else's creature, Eliot didn't want to counter it. And once you know the new target, Swat has already resolved and can't be countered (you know what spell it's targeting, but not what the new targets of THAT spell will be).
@@rosun_officialYou target only the spell you're deflecting on cast. New targets for that spell (if any) are chosen on resolution because the choosing is part of the effect of the spell.
"You may choose new targets for target spell or ability." The target of Deflecting Swat is the spell or ability to be changed. The modified targeting for that spell or ability isn't a target for Swat and thus is just part of the effect and only declared on resolution @@rosun_official
**Edit: OHH nvm, so you choose the pyro as the target** I thought it was always that Instant and Sorcery targets are declared when the spell is cast, and are checked again when the spell resolves to ensure they are still legal targets. -- this is still true but i understand that the target of Def Swat would be the spell its steering, not that other spell's targets. @@davidkahalewai1530
Ben calling out the missed Rhystic triggers all game was hilarious.
Thank you for having wheeler it's great to have him
It's great to be him 😅
I love how at 27:18, Wheeler essentially asked 3 times for any rhystic triggers and got nothing.
The “put that on the screen” moment was awesome. +++ editing
Thanks! 😁
Wheeler’s sass in cEDH is somehow sassier than in other formats, except of course CanLander.
Thank you spike feeders for this gift.
Jerry: the Premier Godo pilot of the format
Great game! Love cEDH and always a blast when Crim and Wheeler are on the show! Loved it
Shouldn't Eliot's Fierce Guardianship have countered Crim's Deflecting Swat which would've killed his Winota??
No I think the deflecting swat resolved, redirecting the pyrokenesis. Then the pyrokenesis was countered and not the swat

You guys play the most fun to watch CEDH, it's on the stack but I like the vibe a lot more than usual. Keep up the good work! Funny episode
Like this comment to Say "Hi" to Jerry
My favorite player
“Hi” Jerry
What happens when we comment 🤯
Love this pod of Commanders and their Pilots. Really interesting to see a balance in two creature/Aggro decks with two combo/ad naus decks.
Thanks for having him it's great to be Wheeler
9:17 Fierce Guardianship countered the Deflecting Swat right? So wouldn't Pyrokinesis still resolve and kill the Winota?
it countered the pyro
Was also curious about how this resolved
@@nicolasleyton4330so he targets pyro on the stack and swat fizzles since it has no legal target?
Feels wrong to not counter the Swat though.
swat resolves reselecting the target for pyro but there’s another round of priority with pyro on the stack afterwards which is when eliot countered pyro
This was the best cedh game I have ever watched in the last few minutes.
Also, Ben saying he's the one that knows the actual board state 😂
I desperately want to see an Urabrask the great work cEDH deck. Hopefully you guys do 1 some day
Never enough Wheeler and Crim.
Really curious why wheeler named human with cavern of souls because it seemed like it was for an opposition agent who is also a rogue that could have given an uncounterable Tivit
With the glasses thought wheeler was the dancing drone guy for a hot minute
I can't believe that madlad just, casually cast Godo, got the helm out, then waiting an entire turn rotation, equiped it, and won.
I see you editors at 1:54 at 0.25x speed AND i had to go frame by frame.
*👏*
lol underrated comment
28:50 I didn't know you guys were playing a game of old school 😂
32:50 wheeler is iconic for this 😫
I un-ironically enjoyed this stax crawl!
Shame my boi crim didn't take out Godo for more content. :) would have liked to see where it goes from there.
I love the funny comments below the commander when they talk about their decks. Peak my kinda humour 😂
Do you guys play cedh all the time? If so, you guys do a great job recording a video. There are some channels that just fly through it. You guys are great!
Thanks! I'd say we do cEDH about half the time.
"Sigurd, Human Torch"
A Fire Emblem 4 reference in my commander game? Its more likely than you think.
Jerry should've intro'd the deck as "We're going to do one thing and one thing only, I'm going to count to 11 really fast!"
if deflecting swat was countered, does that mean that winota should be dead because that was not redirected anymore?
I've been the Ben in so many multiplayer Magic games with those triggers
Did no one in the comments see that Winota was supposed to die?
I wondered what was countered. Did he counter the Pyrokinesis?
Aw yis more Wheeler!
I hope we get to see a Slicer deck at some point, it feels like a neater faster mono-red deck to me.
I'm only happy when godo wins. I've never been happy before today
I'm pretty sure I could never see Godo again and I'd be fine with it
Fierce on deflecting swat means Winota should have died due to pyrokenesis?
they countered pyro I think
I'm a tad confused, did the deflecting swat get countered or was it the damage dealing spell?
The damage dealing spell. You choose the new targets from deflecting swat upon resolution rather than on cast.
holy shit really?! that is new and good info to have, thanks very much@@matthewtompkins4338
This was great
Jerry + Eliot continues to be a goated pair.
Would make Trinisphere + Thalia make some of the spells cost 4 mana? (Like the Sol Ring)
Thalia increases sol-ring to 2, and then 3-ball sees that 2
@@Eon_TAS Thank you :)
Everyone write that down, Jerry is wearing socks
Wheeler is like a chill version of Badger from Breaking Bad lol
Should Wheeler have Flusterstormed the Wheel of Fortune? Jerry was tapped out and I think no one else could have responded with Trinisphere.
Jerry was a racecar driver 😎
For the record, Settle the Wreckage has collector number 34. Kinda close!
Please correct me if I am wrong (I am a beginner): Jerry had the kill and Crim didn't eliminate him? Is that true?
Basically (though I think Crim was banking on Wheeler having interaction for the combo).
Crim could've brought him to 2 life, where losing the Mana Crypt flip at upkeep would've killed him.
Eliot's Sol Ring should have cost 4 mana, right? Trinisphere plus Thalia.
nope, trinisphere checks basically after all other cost in-/decrease effects and then puts it to 3 if below
Trinisphere comes in last in the order of cost-modifying effects. If after discounts and taxes are applied the spell still costs less than 3, Trinisphere makes it cost 3.
Sol Ring costs 1, plus 1 from Thalia for 2. 2 is less than 3 so Trinisphere makes it cost 3.
Good to know. Thank you!
Wheeler not pla opossition agent whit the wheel??
So why doesn’t Crim double block Godo and stop the chain?
Jeweled Lotus is a noncreature spell 5:53 😂
14:11 I looked it up, it’s number 34. So close
I'm very confused. The Pyrokenisis targeting Winota was deflecting swat to trymna, but was countered by Elliot... So Winota should have died... Was this just a misplay, or am I missing something?
Wondering too
The Pyrokinesis was countered, not the Deflecting Swat. In fact the Deflecting Swat had already resolved as the new targets are only chosen when Deflecting Swat resolves.
You can hear Elliot say "Deflecting Swat is good" at one point, so he already let it resolve.
@@adamguichard6882 did not know this. I thought you had to declare the new target upon cast. Thank you!
All Jerry, no Tom 😞
Crim and Wheeler is my favourite "team".
one of the games friends.
Yes
"please clap"
ah, the classic game of the hatebears deck just playing hatebears which means the combo deck doesn't have to do anything but play their combo
wait wait wait...Godo, Bongrip Warlord?????
2015 SCG twitch chat knows
Yeesss more crim please!
would love to see a nethroi deck
14:10 wheeler you FOOL! settle the wreckage is collector number 34, and if your opponents had realized that you were actually attempting to read "271" they would have been privy to the otawara in hand!
GODOOOOO
3:48 imagine not knowing how to count in binary on your fingers since you were a teenager
Godo could have won a turn earlier. Or at least attempted a win earlier
Bring back Wheeler
Magiccon chicago?
You will see most of us there! Jim, Maddy, Eliot, Bill, Jan, and Aaron will be there.
This was cool, just a suggestion: if you sgow the cards being played, pls show them for a bit longer than 3 frames 😅
Animate Dead costs 3
Wheeler paid 3. He tapped USea and Ancient Tomb.
I'm a simple man. I see Crim, I click.
how is winota not dead?
Fierce on the burn spell, maybe they wanted to play nice...
thats what I thought I guess he countered the burn and not the swat
That is a legal play yeah. Did not think about it that way. Play nice and fierce is a weird combo to me but fair enough.@@matteobagni1235

Why didn't Eliot fierce the deflecting? That would've let the pyro shoot Winota
