"Three gang!" (Neither are actually at three lol). Loved this game. I'm getting into cedh with some friends online, so I'm always excited to see some different strategies than I'm familiar with. I plan to take inspiration from Yuriko ninjas as a draw engine and Jetmir rundown with stax effects to slow the game down.
Phenomenal episode, couldn’t believe Serge’s luck but still incredible, loved Serge and Crim as guests and the wheeler episodes as well, hope to see more of the three of them.
I dont know if yall watch Serge's home stream but its a running gag that Serge is always " Off by One" when counting .... there even is an emote lol...So the fact he is off by one here is priceless and on brand
I haven't started the game, but I wanted you all to know how much I hate that I love the opening up the Bastions section with the music. I shouldn't be singing along "solid as a rock" to a short sponsor shout out, but I am.
The Spike Feeders are vibrant, Crim and Serge are vibrant, I'm going to have a vibrant morning just off the back of this. Well played and Niv is a heck of a dragon.
44:00 Jan, holding onto Praetor's Grasp because of the Opposition agent isn't actually relevant. Opposition agent jumps in when an opponent is searching their own library, but since Grasp has you search an opponent's library (not your own) Opp Agent doesn't get in the middle.
Very fun game and cool guests, thanks :) Maybe I'm missing something, but here goes: when Jan Dismembered Yuriko (at around 33:39), couldn't Serge just have her die and immediately Ninjutsu her back in? Would have prevented all of those Niv-Mizzet triggers.
Thanks a lot for your support 😊 we just bought new microphones so this totally helps us out! Don't feel obligated to give this to us though, buy yourself some bomb ass commander cards 😊😊
@@TheSpikeFeeders not sure if youtube ate my other comments, but glad to support you all, I look forward to hearing those new Mics in use on the next FAB and MTG vids!
Yuriko is always nice because she prevents people from castling forever, you gotta be spending cards early and fast or you are one draw away from just having the table blow up. I know people don't like her but she keeps games under 30 mins every time.
7:45 Deep Gnome doesn't technically trigger here since Terramancer says "When a land enters without being played" and Oppo tucks the stolen land into exile for later
Question, for Archivist of Oghma, it says "whan an opponent searches 'their' library, you gain 1 and draw a card. Does that still Activate if and opponent is instead searching Another Players library?
No it doesn’t. I believe they made a misplay. Archivist does not trigger when an opponent searches another players library. They have to search THEIR OWN library. So archivist does not trigger at all.
Correction to my earlier comment: I made a mistake. I did some research, apparently it still triggers on Opposition agent. Because even though you are controlling, they are still searching the library. It’s not a replacement effect that makes you do the searching for them. Sorry for the confusion 😅
11min- when gilded is used on the commander, does the owner of that commander have the option to return it to the command zone rather than gilded drake taking it and resolving?
Not sure if Serge is aware, but with Yuriko, you can have it die multiple times in combat, and ninjitsu any number of times with an unblocked creature ...

It's shocking how people don't treat Rhystic Study like a Sphere of Resistance. Crim won the game solely off of that Rhystic Study (and some nice politics and tight play, of course), it baffles me that people aren't willing to tutor removal for it. Rhystic Study is ONLY that good when you don't respect it, STOP FEEDING THE RHYSTIC STUDY.
Dear Editors, since no one else has said it... the "such a K'rrik in the neck" joke hasn't gone unnoticed :) it's been a tad less than 10,000 years, though
Archivist of Oghma only triggers when an opponent searches their own library, not when an opponent searches another opponent's library; it shouldn't trigger when Serge searches with Opposition Agent, and it shouldn't trigger when Jan searches with Praetor's Grasp.
I think technically for Opposition Agent that player is still searching their library, but the Opposition Agent player controls them during the search. It's a weird case. Definitely right about Praetor's Grasp though.
Could you explain how yuriko is not cedh? Everytime I play against her she feels oppressive, she dodges tax draws cards and does big table wide pings that are usually unavoidable.
(As a joke) i dont think its ever a legal game action to discard a murkwater pathway. Since murkwater cant exist in the game unless its in play, being an mdfc.
It was a little rough to hear Serge describe "the stack is empty" about the dismember when the stack was not empty and Jan was just trying to communicate clearly. I like Serge but dude you gotta use precise language
In such cases it is always most sensible to target the (mono) black, and particularly Krrik player first - they are most likely to use life as a resource. And depleting the enemy of resources is kinda the goal, particularly in high end EDH.
Sigh.... my age is showing... so is the editors lack of age... Go ninja go ninja go is a rap song by Vanilla Ice for the original Ninja Turtles movie. Not a Pokemon reference.
For clarity, the Costco hotdogs Jim gets are mostly for me and Eliot.
Don’t lie for Jim
I always had a feeling you were a Costco hotdog kind of guy. This is the lore I'm here for.
This is both an acceptable and valid response
Fun fact, Serge's deck has more ninjas than both of his Canadian Highlander Ninja decks combined.
Wild game, always good to see Jim on camera!
The spike feeders uniting magic personalities from across Canada is my favorite part of the latest series

I’m only halfway through the intro and I’m already loving the energy of this intro
the flux joke was so good jim. You deserve better than the response you got
Definitely neat to have high profile guests, but I can't wait for more games with just the spikes again. Y'all are the best
small note, archivist of oghma only triggers when an opponent searches their own library, the praetors grasp at ~18:30 shouldnt have triggered it
I know there's a running gag that Serge and Jim look alike, but I seriously thought Jim was in the thumbnail twice.
Notice how they are conveniently sitting on opposite sides of the table… something is fishy here!
I haven't started the game, but I wanted you all to know how much I hate that I love the opening up the Bastions section with the music. I shouldn't be singing along "solid as a rock" to a short sponsor shout out, but I am.
It does help that the bastions are actual, factual, solid deck boxes :)
It is a solid ad tbh, pun intended
"His life total is off by one for the rest of the game" lrrWOW
serge protecting his personal brand
The editor comments in the intro were great. First time I actually watched an intro. Loved crim too.
Great to see the premiere Ninja pilot of the format
Love to see a game with my favorite Serge Yager - Jim LaPage
Kirkland Signature Serge Yeger?
But is he the premier Serge Yager pilot of the format?
@@gnome_friend5281 No, that's Benjamin Wheeler
The Spike Feeders are vibrant, Crim and Serge are vibrant, I'm going to have a vibrant morning just off the back of this. Well played and Niv is a heck of a dragon.
I'm curious what Jan got from their Vampiric Tutor, since they followed it with 2 turn cycles of functionally nothing.
44:00 Jan, holding onto Praetor's Grasp because of the Opposition agent isn't actually relevant.
Opposition agent jumps in when an opponent is searching their own library, but since Grasp has you search an opponent's library (not your own) Opp Agent doesn't get in the middle.

Yes that was propably correct play ;)
Yes, he could have just used her commander ninjitsu to put her back into play.
33:11 I swear I cheered while seeing that coin flip. I have literally started rooting for surge and Crim so this is awesome.
Welcome Back Jimothy!
Thanks a lot for your support 😊 we just bought new microphones so this totally helps us out! Don't feel obligated to give this to us though, buy yourself some bomb ass commander cards 😊😊
Also looking forward to the 2 dozen THICC.SPIKE.DICE you shipped so quickly for me@@TheSpikeFeeders

This was a highly educational episode.
45 min from the start tells me it will be wild 🎉
Any game with Crim is sure to be amazing
7:45 Deep Gnome doesn't technically trigger here since Terramancer says "When a land enters without being played" and Oppo tucks the stolen land into exile for later
8:20 Nevermind, we got there, here you go folx, have some more engagement
As a fellow K'rrik player I can empathize with accomplishing very little in a game, while still maintaining public enemy number one status 🤣
The Loyal Apprentice missed triggers from Jim
I have a question, why aren't senseis divining top and scroll rack used in the Yuriko deck?
Question, for Archivist of Oghma, it says "whan an opponent searches 'their' library, you gain 1 and draw a card. Does that still Activate if and opponent is instead searching Another Players library?

32:00 this interaction is nuts
wouldnt the hushbringer stop the clone creature from entering the battlefield as a copy of a creature?
What are the islands called in Serge's deck?
11min- when gilded is used on the commander, does the owner of that commander have the option to return it to the command zone rather than gilded drake taking it and resolving?
The commander never changes zones. The battlefield is one zone, not separate zones for each player.
the phantasmal image etb shouldve been blocked by the hushbringer, right?
Phantasmal Image doesn't have an ETB trigger -- it copies as a replacement effect that modifies how it enters the battlefield.
ah alright got it - thank you@@TheSpikeFeeders
Nobody ever said Talion wasn't cEDH
Not sure if Serge is aware, but with Yuriko, you can have it die multiple times in combat, and ninjitsu any number of times with an unblocked creature ...
Asian Ready Run? I’m liking it
are these guys using proxies for this or do they just spend 600 for a mox diamond?
That phyrexian hat is sick btw.
I’ve been running niv for so long it’s my favorite for years
So why where crim and serge working together? At around 35 mins couldnt he just have pinged serge to death?
I’d love to buy dice by why is shipping 14.99?
That is the price for tracking from Canada. We can't do much about it unfortunately.
I'm just curious how this universe didn't implode when the two doppelgangers sat down
those yuriko triggers be looking like my yuriko deck fr fr. and mine IS built for the top deck manipulation into draco and those big things

Seeing Crim get got by Oppo agent is sweet sweet music to my eyes.
Editor thinking the TMNT reference is a Pokémon reference.... ouch 😂
Serge making a vanilla ice ninja turtles reference, wondrous
*SPOILERS?*
Having a Yuriko deck that I absolutely love, it was sad seeing Serge hit so many low cost things. Better luck next time Serge!
Great game, very exciting :D
What are those dices? They look great!
You can find them in our shop at spikefeeders.com, I think the Big Spike Greens are currently sold out but there are plenty of others too.
Gamegenic if you read this please please make a box for a triple sleeve commander deck!!!!! There's nothing out here!
The Academic fits a triple sleeved deck!

I’ve had 28 Yuriko triggers and only did 23 damage. That’s when I started putting a lot bigger things in.
Ngl thought there were 2 Jims in the thumbnail
SERGE! SERGE! SERGE!
Never heard a person outside of my old playgroup reference Flux. Nice to hear youre a cultured bunch.
Dig the flux reference great game.
Have you played Senteninals of the Multiverse?
38:25 the cathar commander had indestructible, you could've sacrifice her after combat and destroy the 3/1 token
My brain hurts after that game.
I'm a simple man, I see two Jims and I push Like
K'rrik really do be the BBC deck (Big Black Creatures)
Lol flying into Winnipeg at the beginning of January is more of a punishment than a bonus 😅
Every single intro is longer and more deranged
Unfortunate yuriko didn’t get to do a lot of pinging with her triggers
Very strange plays by serge and Crim for parts of the game
35:24 serge, just let the dismember resolve and ninjutsu her back in…
Love me some Jetmir 😍
Missed the opportunity to call it "The greatest cEDH game of the year", just saying...
35:52 is the worst coin “flip” I’ve ever seen
As a rule of thumb I always take down the Niv Mizzet player first...
Smart
Go ninja go was a reference to ninja turtles out of the shadows- not pokemon

I never thought of Winota in the 99 of Jetmir.
With enough attackers, winota is bound to deliver at least a few humans, thus pushing jetmir to the quota very fast xd
@@dalol90Winota is just so good it could go in a lot of decks
Phantasmal Image doesn't work with Hushbringer on the battlefield I thought?
Phantasmal Image isn't a triggered ability, just a replacement effect. Definitely looks like it might be one though.
Soul bond does not target.
Dear Editors,

Crim out here doing an intro for squid games season 2.
Archivist of Oghma only triggers when an opponent searches their own library, not when an opponent searches another opponent's library; it shouldn't trigger when Serge searches with Opposition Agent, and it shouldn't trigger when Jan searches with Praetor's Grasp.
I think technically for Opposition Agent that player is still searching their library, but the Opposition Agent player controls them during the search. It's a weird case.
Definitely right about Praetor's Grasp though.
It does still trigger with Opp Agent. That player still searches the Opp Agent player just controls them. The Praetor's Grasp you're right though.
I dont know why the agent was pacted. That was terrible
Editor didn't get the Ninja Turtles reference. 2/10 video. F.
😀
😂❤
Simple man here. I see Crim, I click.
I just like how Crim and Serge are playing casual commander at a cedh table 😂
Could you explain how yuriko is not cedh? Everytime I play against her she feels oppressive, she dodges tax draws cards and does big table wide pings that are usually unavoidable.
She definitely is! I mean how they're playing (especially in the first half), not their decks.
What? 😂😂
Dude loves play BBC lol

Dont like the cEDH infinit combo finishes out of nowhere but did like this game very much. Fun interactions, fun plays and fun people.
That oppo agent on a land search was toxic
Krrik and Yuriko player here... sad to see Krrik being targeted early...
In such cases it is always most sensible to target the (mono) black, and particularly Krrik player first - they are most likely to use life as a resource. And depleting the enemy of resources is kinda the goal, particularly in high end EDH.
