Playing With Power MTG the K’rrik list doesn’t match what he played. He cast Night of Soul’s Betrayl and that’s not on the list. That link just looks like a copy pasta of the moxfield list
+slothe111 Same for the Marwyn list, it's nearly the same as the Moxfield list it's based off of minus a Forest and adding a Garenbrig. However Garret keeps a Strip Mine in his starting hand, a card not on the list.
It would be great to have a series where the players all use mono colored decks, if you win with a deck you can't use it again, first to win with each color wins the series!
@@Charlesxo that's the problem when you have all proactive decks at the table. Not sure where the removal was for the other decks to easily stop K'rrick from going off. It seemed everyone was just racing to go off, K'rrick easily can outrace them.
I just wanna say that I thoroughly enjoy your intros, you do a great job of making it feel like a spectacle to behold while supplying important details. You would be an excellent ringleader for a circus.
Because of two reasons: 1. All control pieces that work and efficiently do their job at the pace cEDH is played at exists with the presumption that there will be a blue player to cover the deficiencies that non-counterspell control cards simply just can't cover for. 2. Due to most atax pieces being built around skowi sown the opponent tge question becomes what to do in that time. Usually, once again, counterspells are used against key cards tha still despite sfax pieces gets played. So... why run star as heavily as one normally would do when yo are equally as likely to draw the cards yo need to win. Stax is only as good as the pieces that goes alongside it, so when 5hr alternative is to simply just win... its a rather easy choice wouldn't yo say?
@ArgentumEmperio I get what you’re saying but the whole point of stax is to be one sided or asymmetrical. Slow down opponents while you gain the advantage. This “race to adnauseum” is dumb because you’re expecting to draw all your fast mana in your opening hand and opponents don’t. Doesn’t quit work that way. Interaction believe it or not is good. Yes, you can “just win”. But I’d rather slow and stop what opponents are doing. Especially in this case when there’s always a faster deck at table
@@jtyree0226 the problem with that is the consistiant card draw that blue provides. With Stars decks you need a sufficiant amount of card draw to outpace your opponents. If they are all playing linear decks the stax player will not have enough time to draw into the win. While the linear decks can draw into mana. Also with kr'rick being such a strong choice it negates a lot of what would be done with the staff pieces.
2:24 where do the mox diamond and jet medallion come from? None were in Folger’s opening hand. I understand you get one card from the draw step, but what about the second?
@@chocolateking1143 yup. I'm not gonna lie I expected more white, especially in the second game, to try and get some stax / mana tithe or lapse of certainty even.
@@BarbeqdBrwniez when he was spoiled i immediately assumed it to be a fluke, debunking those kind of phyrexian mana for everything bs in custom magic was soo common until then and people laughed about how stupid it is. Then they printed it... Wtf
Without blue the targeted removal suite should've been cranked up a bit. Interacting with permanents even once or twice could've completely changed the outcomes of these games.
@@PlayingWithPowerMTG I must admit as interesting as it was to see how quote unquote necessary blue is for a balanced game, I do vastly prefer watching slightly longer games of interaction and complex stack buildup, It makes for more interesting decision trees which is part of the fun of cEDH if you ask me, the pseudo goldfishing in this game was kind of like playing by yourself in a way.... Especially when you're a poor elfball player versus an all-black pool your deck is kind of designed to lose in this scenario.... Has the same issue as Kinnan, except monoblack pay life for mana adnaus drag racing totally runs it over... Doesn't even have the option of slow rolling so it doesn't get all its dorks removed and then comboing off in one turn once it has some pieces set up cuz it has no chance to compete with the speed of yawgies lad. I do always enjoy your videos and there was some comedy in this one but I almost felt like a stand-up piece rather than cEDH 😜🙏🤷
I'm actually really excited to see the second game win con. I built an Alela cEDH polymorph deck with the same win con, and I love it. Awesome video. Love your stuff.
Agreed. Took all the risk out of forbidden tutors. And I know it’s tier one. So was flash hulk and all the players wanted it banned. This is almost easier. You do have to resolve two spells with one more mana but the opportunity cost is lower since the forbidden tutors were playable before the ban and you don’t need to run dead cards in your deck unlike hulk piles where you have to run dead cards.
Great games! :D That K'rrik can really be a power house if unimpeded! Brandão would be proud! xD (Peer into the abyss was actually a great new toy for the deck!)
Yay my boi won :D The card is so absurd, I love it lol My version isn't cEDH viable but holy shit, watching how all the fast mana supercharges the deck like crazy is... Wow
This is the video ive always wanted, my best deck still isnt cedh but it typically runs very fast removal through spamming edict effects until i can lock out the board preventing anyone using any creature baded strategies
Funny story about that diving top/aetherflux reservoir/citadel combo...i have this casual top o' the library deck that has diving top and aetherflux but instead of citadel it runs mystic forge, I stumbled on that combo during a game by accident, hadn't even realized that combo was in the deck until someone pointed it out.
I enjoyed the matches. The problem with blue in Cedh is the only cards people play in every deck tend to be zero casting cost blue spells. Thank you for breaking up the monotony.
I run a krrick cedh list of my own and my playgroup all learned to make sure to have a free counterspell at all times. My personal list is even more aggressively proactive than this one and will win regularly by turn 2 if not stopped
Damn, two brutal games! I would have probably brought a stax/high nonblue interaction deck (a deck of my liking, not a response to what happened.) But heh, counters will always be the best stack interaction most of the time.
This video made so happy! It is able to highlight K'rrik's ability and made more videos on K'rrik among all the cEDH videos! Thank you PlayingWithPowerMTG for making this video! Made my day! Thank you so much! =) A question on Game2, as Adam casts Peer into the Abyss and combo-ed off with Sensei's Divining Top + Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir; can he gain enough life of more than 151 with half of the deck left? Thank you =)
At the beginning of the loop, it looks like it can't, however with 50 cards it's enough life (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 and so on, as it is accumulative), giving the player 51*25=1275 life
Yes, because at that point he was already gaining 12+ life with each cast. Pay 1 life, gain 13, then 14, then 15, etc. It adds up super fast. He would only need to draw around 10-15 cards before he gained enough to shoot everyone for the win.
you know what could've put some breaks on the whole "pay life to win" strategy, some red, and a healthy dose of burn! jokes aside, great video, and this kind of proves that K'rrik is actually kind of busted.
Blueless edh has a lot of proactive dex and stacks, sounds like you just all went pure combo to push the agenda of "blue needed" Regardless, loved it, one of my favourite videos youve ever made
I do hope a card was added to the mainboard of the K'rrik deck, otherwise it was running only 98 cards, as I had taken out a land and forgot to replace it until today. Though, I'm not entirely sure how much it would change the outcome.
I really enjoyed the non-blue match. If this is done again, I would just hope for a bit more diversity in deck strategy. Though that might be the issue in cEDH currently.
I think most people would agree green is the best for casual edh and blue the best for cedh, and its interesting that I find that casual would actually improve without green but cEDH would be much worse without blue.
Yeah this was definitely much less exciting without blue. These games seemed much more in line with what I would think of when I thought "cEDH." Definitely makes me appreciate the counterspells even more than I had before watching!
OK so I ran into this the other day. Karn says "activated abilities" right? So I had a card that said when the activate abilities of artifacts or creatures draw a card and was told that tapping something for mana isn't an activated ability. Still kinda learning the massive rule book of this game so help?
Was it Runic Armasaur? It says "Whenever an opponent activates an ability of a creature or land that isn't a mana ability, you may draw a card." If we look at the text of mana abilities on creatures (Elvish Mystic says "{T}: Add {G}.") or artifacts (Sol Ring says "{T}: Add {C}{C}.") we see that these ARE activated abilities. If I google "activated abilities, the mtg.gamepedia wiki has some nice summaries. It quotes the rules saying {Activated abilities are written as “[Cost]: [Effect.] [Activation instructions (if any).]”}. In this case the [Cost] for Elvish Mystic and Sol Ring is the {T} tap symbol. This is followed by a colon character : and then the [Effect] is to either add a green mana {G} or two colorless mana {C}{C}. However! Runic Armasaur says only cares about creatures and lands, not artifacts. Finally, Runic Armasaur says "that isn't a mana ability". If I google "mtg mana ability" and check mtg.gamepedia wiki again, it quotes the rules saying that a Mana Ability is "An activated or triggered ability that could create mana and doesn’t use the stack." Bringing it all together, tapping lands, creatures, or artifacts for mana is using mana abilities. Mana abilities ARE activated abilities. But Runic Armasaur does not trigger on mana abilities, so you can't draw off of them. (You could draw off of someone cracking a fetch land, they say "{T}, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Flooded Strand: Search your library..." which again has the activated ability form of [Cost] : [Effect]. They are lands and the effect doesn't add mana to your mana pool, so Runic Armasaur triggers and lets you draw) Have fun learning more!
My best boy K'rrik doing work! I love playing K'rrik but even though I have a more casual build that I can swap in I can totally understand why he gets targeted immediately. Having no interaction and a guy whose entire shtick is cheating on mana is a very tough combination to get past :D
With K'rrik out you still can't pay colorless mana costs (like for say an Aetherflux Reservoir you really want to cast). If Celebrant is out with K'rrik, the Celebrant becomes pay 3 life for 1 mana. You can use it to pay for anything, even the non B costs, if you have enough life and K'rrik on the table.
The first loop requires Krrik in play, buried alive, an animate spell and having 10 or more life after casting Buried Alive and the animate spell. You animate Chainer (with Dance of the Dead in this case) and then require no further mana because you activate Chainer (BBB cost) by paying 6 life with Krrik and then pay another 3 life (as part of the Chainer cost) for a total of 9 life to bring Grey merchant into play. You gain a bunch of life from that ( usually 21 if there are 3 opponents). Then you use chainer to bring carrion feeder into play, sac grey merchant to carrion feeder and use chainer to again bring grey merchant back. You can do that infinitely to drain the table for infinite damage from Grey Merchant as long as you are gaining more than 9 life from grey merchant each time and have enough life to start the combo. The second combo is Aetherflux Reservoir, Bolas' Citadel, and Sensei's Divining Top all in play. Once those are all on board you can tap the divining top to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library. You then pay one life with Bolas Citadel to cast it for free. With Aetherflux Reservoir in play you gain more than 1 life every time you do this and you can do it over and over, gaining more life each time (the life gain from Reservoir will be 1 then 2 then 3 then 4, etc). As soon as you reach 151+ life (assuming 3 opponents) you can then use the Aetherflux reservoir to do 50 damage to each opponent. This is not quite an infinite loop as you would run out of cards in your library eventually by using the divining top over and over but you can gain hundreds of life before that happens so it is more than enough to kill everyone with Aetherflux Reservoir.
@@kirstiehope amazing thank you !! - Definitely need sensei divining top also in my deck. As I already have Bolas' Citadel & Aetherflux with my current plans -- Going for a K'rrik Infect build though - any chance of seeing such a build being played out any time soon? Cheers and keep up the great work :)
All they needed was a kill spell to stop them. But it’s not that easy. Mono black takes all games I’m competitive if there isn’t anything checking it. Or some type of stax piece.
theres loads of interaction that could have stopped these combos, removal, tax, gy hate, even a well timed skull crack could have saved the table blue isnt necessary, it just has the most flexible answers and stack interaction, doesnt mean the other colors cant stop a combo lol, with 3 opponents its a little worrying nobody had a single answer in 2 games
I mma not a fan of black or blue decks , but a game without blue is a perfect game for me ahahah , imma Naya player only :D, thxs for this video man , can u make more videos like this ?? no red, no black , and so on ?? It would b nice :D
I had a fun idea floating in my had for interesting content you can do, for every match (in a three game series) the only deck building restriction is you cannot use cards that was used in a previous match (by any player excluding basic lands) so game 1 would be your everyday cedh match, game 2, now probably your common counterspells and combo pieces are “banned” and so forth, Knowing this do you bring game 1 a diverse deck to “deny” your opponents options? Well now we are talking strategy... Cheers,

I am really confused why no one went for any kind of heavy stax or non blue control spells.
Because of two reasons:
1. All control pieces that work and efficiently do their job at the pace cEDH is played at exists with the presumption that there will be a blue player to cover the deficiencies that non-counterspell control cards simply just can't cover for.
2. Due to most atax pieces being built around skowi sown the opponent tge question becomes what to do in that time. Usually, once again, counterspells are used against key cards tha still despite sfax pieces gets played.
So... why run star as heavily as one normally would do when yo are equally as likely to draw the cards yo need to win.
Stax is only as good as the pieces that goes alongside it, so when 5hr alternative is to simply just win... its a rather easy choice wouldn't yo say?
@ArgentumEmperio
I get what you’re saying but the whole point of stax is to be one sided or asymmetrical. Slow down opponents while you gain the advantage.

Each player was tasked with bringing a "powerful CEDH deck without blue". This is what they brought.
Why payer Always play blue?
@@alexandrelemehaute1425 blue has a lot of strong interaction and card advantage

I think most people would agree green is the best for casual edh and blue the best for cedh, and its interesting that I find that casual would actually improve without green but cEDH would be much worse without blue.
Who honestly didn't see that coming? Like K'rrik without any counterspells or strong removal is going to go off 9/10 times
Where did that karn come from? not in the decklist at all and kinda random haha, does cEDH have sideboard now?
it would be great to see only decks within boros identity in a cedh table, the lack of blue, green and black would lead to a lot of surprises
Yeah this was definitely much less exciting without blue. These games seemed much more in line with what I would think of when I thought "cEDH." Definitely makes me appreciate the counterspells even more than I had before watching!
What about goblin?
Do you think with muxus and snoop, they Will have a chance?

If we look at the text of mana abilities on creatures (Elvish Mystic says "{T}: Add {G}.") or artifacts (Sol Ring says "{T}: Add {C}{C}.") we see that these ARE activated abilities.
If I google "activated abilities, the mtg.gamepedia wiki has some nice summaries. It quotes the rules saying {Activated abilities are written as “[Cost]: [Effect.] [Activation instructions (if any).]”}.
In this case the [Cost] for Elvish Mystic and Sol Ring is the {T} tap symbol. This is followed by a colon character : and then the [Effect] is to either add a green mana {G} or two colorless mana {C}{C}.
However! Runic Armasaur says only cares about creatures and lands, not artifacts. Finally, Runic Armasaur says "that isn't a mana ability".
If I google "mtg mana ability" and check mtg.gamepedia wiki again, it quotes the rules saying that a Mana Ability is "An activated or triggered ability that could create mana and doesn’t use the stack."
Bringing it all together, tapping lands, creatures, or artifacts for mana is using mana abilities. Mana abilities ARE activated abilities. But Runic Armasaur does not trigger on mana abilities, so you can't draw off of them. (You could draw off of someone cracking a fetch land, they say "{T}, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Flooded Strand: Search your library..." which again has the activated ability form of [Cost] : [Effect]. They are lands and the effect doesn't add mana to your mana pool, so Runic Armasaur triggers and lets you draw)
Have fun learning more!
A little surprised about not seeing Godo ^^
My best boy K'rrik doing work! I love playing K'rrik but even though I have a more casual build that I can swap in I can totally understand why he gets targeted immediately. Having no interaction and a guy whose entire shtick is cheating on mana is a very tough combination to get past :D
In folger’s opener he doesn’t have mox diamond OR jet medallion. But on his first turn he plays both?
How does one get the dont feed the fish playmats?
No blue cEDH? INSTANT THUMBS UP.
First off that new mat is super awesome, second Folger's don't feed the fish mat is awesome as well is it a custom?
What is the blond celebrant for in the mino Black deck
With K'rrik out you still can't pay colorless mana costs (like for say an Aetherflux Reservoir you really want to cast). If Celebrant is out with K'rrik, the Celebrant becomes pay 3 life for 1 mana. You can use it to pay for anything, even the non B costs, if you have enough life and K'rrik on the table.
@@kirstiehope oh i get it thx
I like how ad nauseam still gets play. Peer through the abyss seems better at this point.
@playing with power MTG - How was the infinite loop done
I can't understand it
The first loop requires Krrik in play, buried alive, an animate spell and having 10 or more life after casting Buried Alive and the animate spell. You animate Chainer (with Dance of the Dead in this case) and then require no further mana because you activate Chainer (BBB cost) by paying 6 life with Krrik and then pay another 3 life (as part of the Chainer cost) for a total of 9 life to bring Grey merchant into play. You gain a bunch of life from that ( usually 21 if there are 3 opponents). Then you use chainer to bring carrion feeder into play, sac grey merchant to carrion feeder and use chainer to again bring grey merchant back. You can do that infinitely to drain the table for infinite damage from Grey Merchant as long as you are gaining more than 9 life from grey merchant each time and have enough life to start the combo.
The second combo is Aetherflux Reservoir, Bolas' Citadel, and Sensei's Divining Top all in play. Once those are all on board you can tap the divining top to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library. You then pay one life with Bolas Citadel to cast it for free. With Aetherflux Reservoir in play you gain more than 1 life every time you do this and you can do it over and over, gaining more life each time (the life gain from Reservoir will be 1 then 2 then 3 then 4, etc). As soon as you reach 151+ life (assuming 3 opponents) you can then use the Aetherflux reservoir to do 50 damage to each opponent. This is not quite an infinite loop as you would run out of cards in your library eventually by using the divining top over and over but you can gain hundreds of life before that happens so it is more than enough to kill everyone with Aetherflux Reservoir.
@@kirstiehope amazing thank you !! - Definitely need sensei divining top also in my deck. As I already have Bolas' Citadel & Aetherflux with my current plans -- Going for a K'rrik Infect build though - any chance of seeing such a build being played out any time soon? Cheers and keep up the great work :)
Suicidal Tendencies K'rrik doing what he does best! Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, THIS should be interesting
We should get a mini series for each set of games is based around one color
I’m glad to see no blue for once. I can only see someone attempt to consultation into thassa’s so many times before it’s not worth watching anymore
game 2, what an opener for Folger. sheesh
I know this came out almost a year ago but the blindfolded WHAT TASTE TEST?? AND HOW DID HE WIN IT???
Do a series of mono-colored games, that would be fun to watch.
no blue means no disruption, anyone can go off whenever they have their combo assembled.
There are none blue removal spells just no one was playing enough interaction.
All they needed was a kill spell to stop them. But it’s not that easy. Mono black takes all games I’m competitive if there isn’t anything checking it. Or some type of stax piece.
theres loads of interaction that could have stopped these combos, removal, tax, gy hate, even a well timed skull crack could have saved the table
blue isnt necessary, it just has the most flexible answers and stack interaction, doesnt mean the other colors cant stop a combo lol, with 3 opponents its a little worrying nobody had a single answer in 2 games
I mma not a fan of black or blue decks , but a game without blue is a perfect game for me ahahah , imma Naya player only :D, thxs for this video man , can u make more videos like this ?? no red, no black , and so on ?? It would b nice :D
I had a fun idea floating in my had for interesting content you can do, for every match (in a three game series) the only deck building restriction is you cannot use cards that was used in a previous match (by any player excluding basic lands) so game 1 would be your everyday cedh match, game 2, now probably your common counterspells and combo pieces are “banned” and so forth,
Knowing this do you bring game 1 a diverse deck to “deny” your opponents options? Well now we are talking strategy...
Cheers,
