Rhystic Study is a Good Card in EDH, the game. I mildly disagree with the most valuable card in this game. Rhystic took that cake. If Hunter didn’t have an answer, he eventually drew it. If a stack war went on, he profited. Even if the tax was paid, that was one less mana his opponents had. Being able to profit whenever any opponent casts a spell means that an unanswered early Study will simply win games.
Honestly, I think the most valuable card should have gone to Orcish Bowmasters, which removed the Notion Thief as well as several important utility creatures (including at least one Grand Abolisher), while pressuring life totals and making a massive army.
Did bailey make a huge misplay countering the pact of negation at the end there? I'm not sure if I'm missing anything but wasn't letting the stack resolve back down to force of will then hitting force with an offer you can't refuse the better play? I guess in the end it didn't matter but it could have been critical to force hunter to pay for pact on his turn.
This was peak cEDH except a few misplays and errors here and there (which ARE also part of the game tbh). The type of gameplay I'd send to my non-cEDH friends to watch so they can get hyped up about the format.
Those had to be some of the most ridiculous stacks I’ve ever seen. Answering Grand Abolishers and Yawg’s Will with silence on top of 5 different counter spells? Paying for rustic to prevent a draw into a counter only to be forced by another player? Very funny situations
Oh man, I didn't think about buying Hareruya sleeves when I visited the store. I got one of their deck boxes instead, and unfortunately it's way too tight for a single sleeved commander deck so I don't use it.
They are not that good, at least the old ones. They have poor shuffle feel/quality and most people used them back in the day because they were sponsored to do so. Maybe their new formula is better though, but dragon shield is still probably better
Ancient tomb deals 2 damage and so does imperial seal. Hunter only took 3 damage his first turn. Hunter flashed in opp agent and Corey responded by tapping the wishclaw to search but I thought wishclaw only taps at sorcery speed..
Does the second swan song even resolve though? Since the first one would have hexproof from blue, all targets of the spell are illegal, so no resolving and no 2/2 bird, right?
It doesn’t give spells on the stack hexproof, just can’t be countered, so Swan song attempts to counter and gives them the bird even tho it still goes through
Seems no-one remembered The One Ring gave protection until their next turn. Lots of errors this game, unfortunately. But still a good watch. Possible changing of lighting for Corey's board to be clearer would be much appreciated in the future.
You could say the same for notion thief or any number of other cards. It's just very strong into the super draw heavy meta right now. The real problem is the major flavor fail of two random archers amassing an entire army and also not having reach. Who designed this nonsense?

That or orchish bowmasters for sure
getting jumpscared when Hunter tosses his fetch to Bailey 3:48 because im so used to watching webcam magic

Praetor's Grasp shouldn't have been able to target Corey due to his Ring
That's what I was thinking 🤔 😅 🤣
It was countered, so it didn't affect much
@@kennethreed8485it means interaction was used needlessly
@@kennethreed8485It affected a lot, he wasn't actually able to target Corey at all.
@DoomDG I bet you $10 the card he would've grabbed is in all 4 of their decks

I would say so. Letting pact resolve, then countering force of will instead would've been the better play in my opinion.
Yea might’ve still won anyway but making tap 5 to pay pact is a big difference
"Bowmasters triggers" ad nauseam (literally, not the card)
I’d really love if you mentioned which cards are being exiled for force of will and force of negation
Is it just me, or the Army that Bowmasters amassed (which should've been MASSIVE) is never shown?
It's under the stack I think , you can see it right at the end with 16 counters
The sloppy missed high fives at the end were my favorite part

I saw the thumbnail and feared there would be priority bullying

12:17 "Bailey moves to Kraumbat" 🤣
najeela with rhystic study was on fire

Funny looking Misty Rainforest that Corey exiled to his Gemstone Caverns
thought the same thing .. wrong colours for Dihada also :P
Always enjoying seeing a unique commander like dihada on the table. Bit of a slow start to the game, but then a few explosive stacks
Ancient tomb deals 2 damage and so does imperial seal. Hunter only took 3 damage his first turn.
Hunter flashed in opp agent and Corey responded by tapping the wishclaw to search but I thought wishclaw only taps at sorcery speed..
Wishclaw can be instant speed, the caveat is that it is only on your turn.
Already noticed both the wrong lifetotal on turn one and then activating Wishclaw at instant speed.. just a few mistakes
You can activate wish claw at instant speed
I'd argue Orcish Bowmasters deserve the most valuable card title... SO. MANY. PINGS.
I said the same thing. He used it to get rid of almost every big threat on board including grand abolisher
So anyways, I started blasting.
Does the second swan song even resolve though? Since the first one would have hexproof from blue, all targets of the spell are illegal, so no resolving and no 2/2 bird, right?
It doesn’t give spells on the stack hexproof, just can’t be countered, so Swan song attempts to counter and gives them the bird even tho it still goes through
Wow alot of interaction this game! Good stuff. 👍🏿
Moves to Kraumbat! I heard that
This may be a weird question, but why is corey playing misty rainforest in a mardu deck....
It's a verdant catacombs.
On the first turn, only 1 life is lost to imperial seal instead of 2
Hunter only lost 1 life to Imperial Seal at 3:21.
Saw that as well and went “wait a minute did I miss something”
Mistakes happen!
What a game!!! this is Magic!!!
Mike's signed cards
Watching the excellent game with long and complex stacks is just so fun.🤣
Didn‘t they say that Mike starts and than Hunter plays first😅😅
That was an amazing stack game
Seems no-one remembered The One Ring gave protection until their next turn. Lots of errors this game, unfortunately. But still a good watch. Possible changing of lighting for Corey's board to be clearer would be much appreciated in the future.
unlucky, Kraum got outfarmed
the glare on corey is bad
Seems like a regular edh game, was expecting more turn 3 wins
This game was insane!!!
Are you guys happy now? Nobody won with Thoracle or Breach
Good ole krombat
what a wild game
I hate Orc Bowmaster. Holds entire games hostage.
You could say the same for notion thief or any number of other cards. It's just very strong into the super draw heavy meta right now. The real problem is the major flavor fail of two random archers amassing an entire army and also not having reach. Who designed this nonsense?
@@jakemaxwell3810 I feel like I miss the 1B casting cost of orcs easier then 2BU. Playing around the threat of notion thief is easier, imo.
So much free combat damage missed, ESPECIALLY from the Najeela player...
You can only activate wishclaw during your turn
He did. It happened at his end step.
@@PlayingWithPowerMTG my mistake!
I love bowmaster.
Best game I've seen.
Why did Bailey cast his own force of will, knowing Najeela just mystical tutored for one? What kind of plays are these?
Because rhystic was paid and Najeela didn’t have it in their hand.
ooh, feels bad lol@@PlayingWithPowerMTG
Hunter should have killed kraum with his bow masters. Why not??
Great game! So many abolishers 😂
And again they activate wishclaw during opp's turns...
They didn’t. It was on his end step.
@viporEA it was clearly in response to the oppo cast at their own end step…?
Counter, counter, counter, counter, counter blue players doing blue player things smh 😂
Najeela players got the soft part of their brain pushed in as babies
I hate blue so much.
Ugh borrrring najeela
I hate these boards...y'all are sloppy lol...
