Did you miss last episode? Watch Kyle Hill Play History's Best Worst Standard: th-cam.com/video/ewNy3ylRZdE/w-d-xo.html
Started to watch it. Got traumatic flashbacks of the prerelease. Had to click off.
Definetly missed less episodes than you missed doubling season replacement effects
Kyle Hill? Pretty sure that's Brian Kibler, Prof.
@@ettorevolterrani2989 damn it that’s what I wanted to comment 🥲
That moment that tappy says 13-5 is 7 when its really 8 math is hard for everyone
Reading is hard for red players. Everything should just come into play tapped and attacking.
Including the Mountains. Wait, no, ESPECIALLY the Mountains.
I wish you could have cooked for them. Really cool seeing you in this august company.
In my Mono Red Feldon of the Third path, so much reading.
red players doing red things
Hopefully you will be in command zone too with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar deck
Brian: "I'm an American Literature professor, I'm not good at math."
Brian, when a piece of cardboard has more than two words on it: "TOO LONG, I CANNOT READ."
Well he is from America
@@dominicwilson9467 America lore doesn't exist because no one wrote it.
@@pearcehubbart3767 they did it's called 'Merica
That's a shame because reading the card explains the card.
@@pearcehubbart3767 lore?
Georg: Tappy I'm taking your dinosaur, but we're still friends.
Also Georg: I'm going to sacrifice Tappy's dinosaur.
Paul: "That's fair."
in THE SAME PHASE, no less
Professor: "Reading the card explains the card!"
Also Professor: "I'm not reading that."
Professor: *stickers*
Prof: I said a 7
Tappy: It says 7 right there on the card.
This is the same person who is ep 1 picked the red deck because it was red.
I wish I was as decisive as she is.
The moment when a background prop fell off the ceiling was perfectly capturing this session's vibe. Music did add a nice touch too, great episode!
Glad you liked it!
@@TolarianCommunityCollege This is the content the world needs more of.
@@GalatheonIL52NEP Indeed, maybe we finally get to capture Professor winning a Commander game on camera 😏
"Tappy, I thought we were friends!" he said after stealing and murdering her dinosaur so that he could make a token copy for himself, and leaving her with nothing to show for it except the pain of his betrayal.
This game really warmed my heart... it represented everything I love about commander... the laughs, the wordplay, the taunting... and of course, a million missed triggers and interactions. Much love to you Brian!
Before watching the episode, I'd like to reiterate my firm desire to see the Prof win his 1st Commander ever in his life. 🤞❤
You should check out the elder dragon hijinks episode he was on, I honestly don't remember if he wins but he uses his brion stoutarm deck and does pretty well with it
Such a thing is spoken of in hushed whispers at coffee houses all over hte world.
@@Dragnonz3547 I watched it - he didn't, poor guy. 😜
@@Dragnonz3547 that was a wonderful game
I assume you did the moral and righteous thing and changed your view on this after you heard him rap.
The irony of Prof saying he doesn't miss triggers, and then he missed countless Doubling Season counters 😂
Doubling Season doesn't trigger at all. It creates a replacement effect.
@@eminem_mtg8544It's still an effect that happens thanks to other effects. By the game, it is not a trigger, but it's still technically a triggered effect.
Its literally not a triggered effect.
@nivmizzet2022 Not by the rules of the game, but by the English language, it is a triggered effect. It happens passively only when a specific thing happens first. Yes, it doesn't interact as a trigger in MTG, but it is a response to triggers.
Frl bro i was like my dude ultimate that vivian please....destroys the creature....dammit prof
Tappy Toes provides a unique chaotic energy to every game.
Professor: “You don’t win games of magic by gaining life!”
Aetherflux Resevoir: “Allow me.”
""Test of Endurance"
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 50 or more life, you win the game.
@@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece Felidar Sovereign
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 40 or more life, you win the game.
@@Felixr2 tried so hard to make that deck work in limited. The deck was pretty good, but I think I won with that condition like twice.
Still looking for a fun commander deck to make with this pull. It's always interested me, but I've never managed to think of a good concept.
@@alexpivniouk8421 Selesnya Weenie Life Matters is the most goofy thing I can think of that is actually going to use the AeRes life gain effect.
Seeing the "Tappy dies of cringe" look within the first 30 seconds already guarantees for it to be a great video
It's the first and only time she's ever looker her age.
@@Arrowatch bro what the fuck does that mean?
@@Arrowatch um
@@drowningin twas a joke u moron
@@drowningin does he even have "workers"? If so I support your fight for the good fight
The professor is the best thing to happen to magic. This series is great, the guests are great, and no one ever understands the rules for the episode. Thank you all -cast and crew- for your hard and excellent work.
Gotta love Tappy's carbon and meteors quips. She does know how to throw a nerdy joke.
I am not a tappy fan but that meteor joke made me laugh heartily. Such a fun episode 😄
1:22:45 it's little moments like this, the simplicity of her response to the complexity of the turn, "I have an elephant. I would like to block the largest thing." That speaks to me on an emotional level hahaha❤
The tag still on Prof’s jacket is killing me 😂
That’s going back to the store the day after filming 🤣🤣🤣
1:16:03
I love the confidence in Prof’s voice as he mispronounces that card.
But what a great game, from editing, to decks, but especially the guests. Tally is a delight to watch play.
At about 1:07:25 Prof played a planeswalker but since doubling season was on the field, the planeswalker enters with double loyalty. I don't know if this was mentioned before, I'm just happy I spotted something for once lol
Joining you at late spotting.
At 1:13:15 the Boros player returns from "graveyard" cards that had been exiled due to his commander.
@@I_Am_Kas That’s not quite right. The boros commander returns the exiled cards to the graveyard once the spirit tokens die.
Another thing I just spotted, at 47:30 against startstorm, he made all of his creatures indestructible. Creatures having 0 or less toughness is a state based action that puts the creature into the graveyard, bypassing indestructible so his field should’ve been wiped
@@Bent0008 Incorrect. Damage accumulates on a creature, but does NOT reduce their toughness. It's just that if there's damage equal to or greater than their toughness, it's lethal damage, and the creature is destroyed as a state-based action. As shown in rule 702.12b, Indestructible prevents this by preventing creatures from being destroyed due to lethal damage.
Basically, Indestructible stops "destroy" effects AND damage.
The “CONTRACT IS A CONTRACT IS A CONTRACT” from TCC has big Orzhov energy to it
"A Contract is a Contract is a Contract... But only between Ferengi" is one of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition from Star Trek. I believe that's what they were referencing.
It brightens my day with a new Shuffle Up and Play!
Edit: As a newb, I absolutely love the zoom in and focus on what cards do when they're first played. I can't keep track of games when they glaze over it all.
As a long-time player, I appreciate it as well. Magic has a ton of cards and I don't remember them all (plus I took a couple of breaks and don't know cards from those years), and Commander board states get complicated. Taking the time to read each card and show them up close made the game much easier to follow.
Absolutely love this too. Magic has soo many cards and each EDH deck is going to have a different board state with its own interactions.
@@laboratorymaniac7324 This is proof that I falsely assume even though people have played for a while, they dont know every card. Just missing out on even a year can set anyone back on knowing cards/mechanics because it's hundreds!
I'm really trying to catch up on so many cards, and even though Standard is the most expensive, I actually find it easier to get into (in MTGA) because of the limited number of cards to know about.
I guess that makes drafting easier too? I'm interested in any tips to help me with this difficulty I'm having. Thanks everyone!
Exactly this!
@@Loki- I think Standard is a good place to start despite its price, since as you said, there are fewer cards you need to learn. Standard is actually going to be getting much simpler next month, since Dominaria United's release will cause the 4 oldest sets in Standard (Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, Strixhaven, and Forgotten Realms) to cycle out. So it will just be 5 sets of cards instead of the current 8.
Draft can be simpler in some ways, since you only have to know cards from the set(s) you're drafting, and you don't need to own any cards to play. But the nature of draft is much more complex, because you have to ask and answer important questions before you've even built your deck - what does the set's meta look like, what are the best commons in each color, what bombs should you look out for, what color do you think your neighbors are in based on what they're passing you? It requires quick decision making, good card analysis skills, and a sense of table awareness that constructed does not. Draft has a lower cost barrier of entry than constructed, but the skill barrier is higher.
I don't have any quick draft tips that would fit in a TH-cam comment, but if draft is something you're interested in, there are plenty of resources to help you learn limited, both on TH-cam and other MTG corners of the internet. And practice! Go in and try some drafts, and don't worry if you get beat a lot at first. Worst case scenario, you hopefully learned what didn't work, and you still get to keep the cards you drafted.
Prof, “because I don’t miss my triggers” forgets lifelink on Atraxa immediately after. 😂😂
And like 10 doubling season doubles, that Vivien should have started with 10 counters.
It's fine, because all of those are replacement effects. He didn't miss any triggers! Only static effects!
@@austintaing lol beat me to it!
Where was this? Georg prevented damage most times so if the damage didn’t go through, lifelink wouldn’t trigger.
Lifelink only happens when damage happens ...
Gotta say, this series is the most entertaining commander show atm. Great work. Big fan of George too.
He is cheating with his commander, those creatures should get exiled when they die, not go to graveyard.. so he Reanimate Them and do the whole Thing again, such a cheaper
@@poke-hallen7322 I have seen you post that a few times on this video. did you just not bother reading hofri before making cheating accusations. It very clearly states at the end of its effect "When this creature (referring to the token copy) leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's graveyard." He did not cheat at all, maybe double check you actually know how something works before calling others out on it
Pretty sure Hofri should have exiled quite a few creatures - also Doubling Season was getting missed several times. Still hilariously fun episode nethertheless! :)
Hofri returns the exiled cards when they die though.
I thought so too, but then I read the card. I can’t believe it exiles them and then returns them to the graveyard. Seems good.
@@B-Randall George also did a misplay with the Solemn Simulacrum. Hofri triggers when the creature dies, meaning that the creature *does* die first.
When the Goring Ceratops was stolen using Act of Treason, Georg sacked it to make it a flying spirit. How did it maintain haste? It seems that it would lose it when going into exile.
@@geoturcotte Hofri gives all your spirits haste and trample.
That Vivien came in with 2x the counters because of doubling season! Could have changed a few things! Good game anyway.
Yeah the prof missed a few [Doubling Season] triggers with Atraxa as well. It’s only casual though so I’m not sure if anyone else at the table noticed?
lol they keep missing things
@@GalatheonIL52NEP What....the professor, Missing Triggers? He would never. Thats why he states his every move.....right? It was a great game never the less.
@@samurottwaterdragon3703 Ha ha this is very true, bless him!
@@GraemeGunn They missed all of the exile replacement from Georg’s commander too. That could’ve changed the game as well
"it's a 7!"
Tappy is a gem on this show
Georg is the kid who brings a deck to the board that makes noone want to play with him again
Do you know what's boring? Not this. This was a fantastic, hysterical episode. I rate it 7 out of 7.
What is really borning? playing magic arena at half or quarter speed. Magic should not be that slow.
You know what would be fun? Tappy, The Prof, PlesantKenobi and spice8rack play kitchen table EDH where anything is legal. What could go wrong?
I don’t think I’m ready for the chaos that is Tappy and Spicy in the same room
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 kitchen table magic is literally the only place that 'anything is legal' works. that's the whole point.
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 i was still waking up lol, yeah, it’s implied lol.
Spice8Rack: "I incite a revolution within your creatures and the all attack you, eating you alive!"
PleasantKenobi: "Counterspell."
Sub out Vince for Cam from LRR. Trust me.
I love everything about the statement "that's how you know she's a merfolk friend, cause she's got a cocktail"
The editing is fantastic and your guests are a great joy. Thanks Professor for the kindness you help spread throughout the MTG gathering.
My pleasure! I am so glad to hear you are enjoying the show!
@@TolarianCommunityCollege gotta ask about the paper drop. No one said anything, yet all of you looked. I thought it might be some quiet timer set for an hour of game play.
The cameras and editing are really well done. Quality commander shows
I really really appreciate that you leave in some of the errors in triggers and missed plays, as well as how you discuss them. I have a handful of friends and my nephew who have been getting in to MTG in the last year and its so beneficial for them to see that it happens even to people with years of experience. Thank you @TolarianCommunityCollege as always for the wonderful video!
Can Tappy be on more episodes their vibe is amazing
I have good news for you.
@@TolarianCommunityCollege YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS
@@TolarianCommunityCollege 👀 yesss
@@TolarianCommunityCollege God is good, and you are better.
@@TolarianCommunityCollege hell yeah prof
I know nothing about Magic but I've been loving this series. Really appreciate slowing down and reading the cards on first play and announcing the stages of play for new players. Very helpful to keep track of what's going on.
And this is why The Prof brings in so many different guests, I've never heard of Chef PK before but now I must binge some of his content cause he's hilarious
Quality cook and reactor. Love that man.
Strixhaven: Memorizing the card, reminds you of the card.
Love the series, just a small thought...the top down view being arranged differently than the table is confusing. I get what you were going for, but I think it would work better as just a top down view of the whole table, not rearranged.
Noted!
@@TolarianCommunityCollege Thanks, Prof! One of my favorite things about your channel is how much you clearly care! I appreciate the time and care you put into everything!
@@TolarianCommunityCollege to piggyback off that comment, I do like how you edited it to just show the attacker and blocker when in combat
@@TolarianCommunityCollege i was slightly confused at first as well, but by the end I didn't really didn't mind!
@@SwagnerCountsThings yeah the editing on combat is top notch.
The awkward situation from 28:34 to 29:00 is one of the most hilarious moments of the game. "Eights ascend, sevens...linger" is one of those foggy phrases that you say to confuse someone who is bothering you or right before a sneak attack.
I really enjoyed how this video showcased the "my deck is a 7" statement. Loved the Atraxa Merfolk xD
I love that in every episode that they are playing commander everyone interprets the deck stipulations as they see fit for their style.
Prof: "Reading the card explains the card"
Also Prof, to PK: "I wish I knew what your cards did!"
Gee! If only there was a way you could figure it out! =P
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Literal English professor complaining about the text on a card being too long?! lol
What does pot of greed do?
@@LoneSkag Who knows? Too long for me to read. Something about paying 1000 life points to draw negates or whatever
Awesome game guys!
This genuinely made me smile. Please make more videos like these.
Keep up the great work 😁👍
Just recently came across this new(?) Series of yours, and have been loving it! This is fantastic content!
Literally the absolute best of this series so far! So much fun and interaction.
I tend to be off and on in MTG, but watching you all play just makes me want to get some friends and play so much more the fun times you all have and the friendship there I can feel
Professor, I don't know if you read these, but I want to thank you for making this series. Having the close up of the cards REALLY helps for people, like myself, who haven't really played the game for years (I have a love-hate relationship with MtG, for lack of a better term.)
So thank you for the entertainment and making the game seem a lot more fun than it sometimes can be in other settings.
I'll be real... Georgiboi here had it dead on that I would enjoy how he put those lands into his deck. I actually put time into picking the land art I put into my decks. I've got a deck with only white borders, one with every swamp is a different art, one where all the lands are sets of 4 from different sets, etc. Bonus points from me to him on the choice (also definitely one of the best plains for sure. not sure about best but absolutely top tier.)
I have a Keranos deck and all of the basics and Stormcarved Coast have lightning bolts on them.
But he cheated with his commander, they should get exiled if they died, not going to graveyard and Reanimate Them doing the same Thing again and again… know your own card… god damnit, prof or tappy is the winner, not your cheating George
@@poke-hallen7322 or you should read the card, the last line says that when they die the original card goes back to the graveyard. if you correct someone, know that you're right next time :)
George thinks his mismatched basics will trigger my OCD, meanwhile it was him tapping his lands in different directions on the same turn
Only his cheating with commander
That was the funniest game of EDH I’ve seen. Imma go binge this whole series now, thanks Prof.
This was really awesome, hoping we get to see more commander games from you!
Prof went over it way to quick, but I really enjoyed that carbon-binding joke! :)
Great demonstration of the different power level decks and how they look like. The power level 10 deck was becoming quite obvious as the match went on, and the vibe it created at the table was hilariously accurate. Appreciate your hard work, Br... I mean, the Professor *tips hat*
that was not nearly a power level 10 deck, max 8. Powerllevel 10 means tier 1 CEDH level which is a consistent turn 4/5 win with lots of combo's and tutors. The other decks just either ran poorly because of variance (ChefPK) Rionja deck for example only drew mountains, or the powerlevel was way lower. Merfolk atraxa isn't exactly a 7, more of a 4/ 5 max 6. The dinosaur deck was probably a 6 maybe 7, depending on the kinds and amount of ramp they ran. It was a very fun episode though.
People tend to think their decks are way higher powerlevel than they actually are, hence the my deck is a 7 meme. Most tuned casual decks are around 5/6
By the end, Georg had those "Greatest Yu-gi-oh! Duelist Ever" vibes
Only because he cheated
Love these videos. I dont play commander but would like to start. This makes me more interested than before! Thank you
I have Martyr's Cause in my Atla Palani deck as a sac outlet. The first time one of the guys in my playgroup saw it, he said he didn't understand why I was using it and there were better sac outlets that he would include in the deck instead. He changed his opinion of it real quick during that game. This video is just more evidence of how good it is haha.
I’ve made my whole group terrified of the card it’s so nasty
Thinking I am going to put it into my Millicent and Ghave deck now!
Man, starting with Prof dropping bars was a BRAVE choice
Love the content prof and chef been watching you since 10k subs keep up the good work happy to see you branching out to the magic scene. Best wishes ❤️
Props for having themes to your lands. I love the "all the same plains, all different mountains" theme. I love picking out specific art for my land. Most people don't notice but it's nice when they do. :)
I would just like to point out, the 8/8 trample dinosaur token of TappyToes was actually a 9/9 trample vigilance thank to Radiant Destiny, which means it would have survived the 2 board wipes (8 damages total) and could probably changed the course of the game. Otherwise great game!
There was another 2 damage to everything afterwards that same turn for a total of 10 damage.
@@Miasmark the cards go back when yhe tokens die, so they can come back.
Edit: I'm wrong. Deleting the comment.
Nm I'm wrong
Prof: I NEVER miss my triggers
Meanwhile, Prof missing Hadana's Climb flip
Multiple times.
@@TheOneTrueEfrate Na, the Climb only flips if the targeted creature has 3+ counters, not if he controls a creature with 3+ counters. So the first turn the creature only has 2 counters, unless he does it on Atraxa again expressely to flip it-but he might have wanted to spread counters first since between Season and Atraxa, a single counter is 4 by end of turn.
I never played commander and don't know incredibly lot about Magic, but this show allows me to not only watch and learn but also get what the fun behind the format is
This was my first Shuffle Up and Play episode for some reason…🥰🥰🥰🥰 So goooooood!!!! Gah I love this friend group!
Always saw chef PKs comments on mtg videos, love his content!
I enjoy shuffle up and play. There were a myriad of rules errors in this one though haha. Happy to see my boi Chef PK!
I think that's pretty accurate of your typical game, referring to the rules errors. That's why I started my Tough Rules & Cool Interactions series, to help Commander players get better at understanding all the rediculous amounts of things going on in Magic.
Really enjoying these shuffle up and play videos!
Im a brand new player to Magic and started playing commander format with my friend. This game is so awesome! Fun to see how different decks play against each other.
I find it absolutely hillarious that George basically beat the entire table by himself
This is like a yugioh episode where the big bad takes on the challenge of dueling multiple duelists at the same time just to flex how op he is
Major power play there
Professor: "I never miss a trigger"
Also doesn't double the counters on Vivian
That's because it's a replacement effect, not a trigger lol
misses the atraxa lifelink
@@michaelsimeone9524when a planeswalker ETBs if a doubling season is on the board it enters with twice as many counters
@@michaelsimeone9524it enters with double counters but it doesn’t increase
I’m liking this series more than most play series. I think cause you’re all willing to banter and that’s the part of what I like about playing multiplayer
I love the little things with this ep like the drawling of the elephant and this ep had me laughing for the most of the ep, would love to see this group in future eps
Tappy is funny, the professor asked if he should have his hearing checked and she immediately turned to him and told him he is getting old 😂😂😂
56:35 Just curious, why didn't Tappy attack with ALL of her Vigilant, We-Only-Take-1-Damage, dinosuars?
its not take one damage, it is survive with 1 hp and i believe georg had a card that deals 1 damage globally so she would have lost all of her dinos
@@finalfantasy50 It effectively is take only 1 damage as it says “prevent all but 1 of that damage”. In other words, only one of the damage would actually go through HOWEVER to your point, it’s one damage per source so multiple blockers could still take more than one in total.
I think the timestamp says it all. I've been there before. You're playing at a table and one person got their gears running at max capacity, dodging every attempt to squander their gameplan while completely dominating the rest of the table. By the time you're at turn 10, you're prone to just forget you have a board-state anymore, you're so hyper-fixed on what is happening around you. Especially with her status, where even if she went guns blazing, she might've been able to clean out either Georg or Brian, but the surviving player would just sweep you off the next turn.
By far, this is my favorite “Shuffle up & Play” episode! The banter gave me a belly laugh! More TappyToeClaws!!
Tappy’s energy is just wildly attractive. Honestly, everyone in the pod had a fun, banter filled, dynamic. This was a joy to watch
Doubling season doubles the amount of loyalty counters for the plains walkers
Specifically, DS will only double the counter that they enter with. When activating their Loyalty Abilities the DS will double the amount they gain.
@@ThisIsACommanderChannel I read from scryfall that using an ability will NOT trigger Doubling Season since you are putting those loyalty counters as a cost and not as an effect.
@@ThisIsACommanderChannel No they won't. It's a cost. Vorinclex does though.
@@malfegore_7043 Activated and Triggered abilities will be impacted by DS as long as they are an 'effect' of that ability. The problem comes in fornwhen they're a cost of that ability. With Loyalty Abilities, their upticking is a cost, so DS can't see them. Some cards do though, but specifically DS does not, but there is a trick you can do that does get DS to interact with Planeswalkers Loyalty Abilities.
Pir, Imaginative Rascal will add an extra counter when ‘Walker abilities are upticked, too.
Him being a 1G 2C 3-drop probably makes him one of the most easily leveraged facilitators of Planeswalker shenanigans.
(Especially given the number of Green ‘Walkers that enter only 1-2 counters off their Ult.)
Sorry, been building my 1st EDH deck for the last few months. (Vorinclex, MR) after returning to MtG from a long hiatus.
I don’t even play magic… But I absolutely love this channel!! Commander is def my fav format to watch! This is def my fav channel!
Great Video Prof! I loved the vibe and gameplay!
im used to the prof being such a genial, well-behaved fellow, that it's quite shocking to hear him talk such smack and fly into rages at the drop of a hat, leaping across the table and knocking everyones cards out of their hands, frothing at the mouth, body flailing and convulsing
I just wanna say that Prof's suit this episode is fantastic. Especially with the tag still on it.
Tbh would watch a whole series of commander games with only prof and these guests! This was so much fun to watch
I love TappyToeClaws! Loved the episode, thanks for having a fun game!
Hofri is such an underestimated commander. Even without the threat effects, it's a super cool reanimator deck
There's like three completely different strategies you could approach with the deck that make the commander so interesting. There's the obvious spirit tribal, there's aristocratic reanimator deck that abuses etb triggers, then there's the insane steal-and-sacc-your-opponents'-creatures-strategy that Mitch from Commander's Quarters came up with.
too bad he kept putting tokens into the graveyard and just being a giant cheater
@@grelgen That's how Hofri works, the creature dies, you get the token, when the token leaves the creature is put back into the graveyard. He's just using the cards to represent the tokens, it might be confusing but it's how it works.
And even if he's mistaken, why you have to assume ill intent? Doing something wrong (which is no the case here) is not the same as cheating
@@nik700 i saw my mistake, i edited that part out. he was playing fast and loose with the tokens and could have at least made an effort to explain the last sentence on hofri the first time one of his exiled creatures would have been put back into the graveyard.
@@grelgen I think he tried but they went with the tldr on the strixhaven cards
Bro the girls energy , Prof’s tag hanging off his sports coat , the confusion between the deck building criteria, the hysteria grows
Incredible episode, that’s what EDH looks like in real life. Fun plays, banter, people hanging out having a good time.
The uniform Plains and mismatched Mountains is peak buddy cop movie White+Red theming. Love it!
Can we talk about the tag on Brian's jacket 😂
"Carbon has four bonds" priceless
That slayed me
I love that reference "this is my design" to the Hannibal tv show that Tappy made. So good.
Such a great episode this is my third rewatch this year
"You dont win by gaining life" me and my 16 copies of verdant suns avatar beg to differ
Love my personal Hofri deck. Hats off to George as a pilot, you showcased the Hofri as commander deck very well.
@@RegimentJoker yes. People don't often reply to youtube comments.
Except they are missing that revilark cant bring back exiled creatures...
@@ninjazanus they are not exiled since hofri brings them bqck to the graveyard after the token leaves the battlefield

Well, if you wanna get very technical, the token itself gains that ability upon being summoned, so Hofri's presence after that isn't required to pull this off. Hofri's one of those commanders that you pick to disorient the opponent, as they try to keep track of their board-state and interactions on top of interactions. This is why you run board-wipes.
Can't believe I missed all the EDH gameplay on shuffle up and play! Great show and great editing, Prof. Really enjoyed it (Y)
Prof: "Who are you? Cassius Marsh?"
xDDD
Love to Lynch and Cassius!^^
Swinging with multiple Hoarding Ogres at once must feel amazing!
Never thought I'd see PK and Prof in the same room, this is dope!
Now get Prof to try some Haachama cooking.
We do not wish death upon anyone.
@@CHEFPKR I've done it and I'm still here. Lol
Atraxa Merfolk! After playing against it in Vegas in November, it was definitely a level 7.
Also, didn't even notice the art was different in George's lands. They were different?
AUGH PROF WHY YOU MISS TRIGGER THIS HURTS MY SOUL!
I have to say Profess, I've been coming to your channel more and more. Having guests come on and play different ways of playing Magic is insanely entertaining. You don't have gimmicks. It's just you and Magic and that's all you ever need. With Command Zone becoming more of a sponsored mess and I Hate Your Deck having some controversy, it's comforting to click on a Tolarian video and be welcomed with open arms time and time again. Keep up the amazing work, good sir!
I am honestly in love with Tappy. Such energy hahaha AND THIS TABLE IS AMAZING!
That ghost doubling season hurt both my brain and my heart so much
"I never miss a trigger"
Proceeds to miss almost every doubling season trigger
