I Freaking love this channel! You always see for your fans, like the subtitles, but jn addition, if the game was quick, you give us another one or even 2,3 more, love you so much guys, my favorite MTG content Creators.
Best thing about this channel is if you have a quick game you play a few more. I listen and watch while Im working and so many channels do a quick 10 min video which means I have to keep stopping to sort out youtube 😂 Love all the content guys!@
I absolutely loved these games. I really liked the intricacy of the Esika deck the most as I have never seen her played in cedh before. Also that stack in game 3 was nuts, I definitely would have just ended mumbling trying to narrate it back lol
I'm not hard of hearing, but I have a newborn that requires lots of quiet rocking. I'm so appreciative of the subtitles! I get to watch some sweet EDH while being stuck on a rocking chair for the last hour. Seriously THANK YOU!
I love your content and seeing different decks. That being said I see a lot of similar decks and would love to see you guys play decks with commanders NEVER seen on the channel...that would be fantastic
With your opponents at three different life totals, doesn't the Glint-Horn+Malcolm combo fizzle after the lower two are dead? Then Malcolm only makes one treasure with each loop, so you would need an additional mana source to activate Glint-Horn's ability.
Nevermind. I ignored that the combo was generating three treasures for the first ~30 iterations, which provide more than enough mana to finish off the last remaining opponent.
Ah... I think you're right actually. He kills Cal at +23 treasures, then stops breaking even when Philip is at 12. He doesn't have the one more mana source needed to finish Philip off without Simian Spirit Guide or a ritual somewhere in there.
@@Darchias Correct that I will have 23 treasures. With Phillip at 12 and me at 23 treasures it would still work since I'm still getting a treasure off of Phillip on activation. It would almost be as if glint horn ability is reduced by 1, so 23 treasures leaves me with 11 left after Phillip dies. (23+12)-24=KO
@@Darchias Nah. Opponents are at 22, 25 and 37 life. He has 2 treasures from combat damage, enough to start the loop. First activation will use those two treasures and generate three, netting one bonus. First, opponent with lowest life dies after 22 hits, and the loop has thus generated 22 bonus treasures. He's left with 24 total. Then second round of activations begins. This time he gains no treasures, but doesn't really consume any either until second opponent is dead, so he stays at 24. Which is enough to kill Philip, who's at 12.
I love your videos and channel. I was thinking about joining your Patreon but I was wondering whether any participants of the Discord channel can tell me something. How often do webcam games fire in the EU-friendly timezone?
Malcolm and Tana are super powerful. even on a budget, where you take out all the very expensive cards, it can easily win on turns 3-4 I did some playtests with it on mox field. only one game went really long, but in that game, I got mana flooded, which I find odd because the deck has 32 lands. I know your original list goes with 29 or 30 (Cal's has 27), but when you don't have the money for a mox diamond I thought it would be smart to up the land count a bit. so in place of jewelled lotus and mox diamond, I added 2 lands and of course, the mana base is a bit more budget too, so no taiga, tropical island, volcanic Island and Gaea's cradle. But despite all this, it's only a couple of turns slower. Jewelled lotus would help a lot since it pays for Malcolm all by itself.
i have one thing to say and one thing to ask. first, wow esika is cool second, is malcom usually better with a partner that has 2 different colors from blue? because i actually thought of building a Malcolm deck with Kediss, emberclaw familiar
It wouldn’t matter. You can activate the ability as long as glint horn is attacking. Do you can do it during declaring attackers, or declaring blockers.
Yeah I've wondered the same. I've looked at a few of these games recently because I'm building the deck and I feel like Cal is playing quite slowly; which means sometimes it looks like he has the win in hand but he doesn't go for it.
Yeah... if an opponent has Malcolm and access to Red in their deck I never let Malcom see the light of day if I can help it. I just assume Glint-horn is waiting in their hand to pop out at any moment.
Correct me if I'm wrong, bit in the last game Dante would have killed Cal and Drake and before Phillip and then not been able to net enough treasures off of Glint-horn to keep paying for it's ability, leaving Phillip in the game and ready to win on his next turn...
Since Glint-horn is pinging three players, Dante nets an extra treasure with each loop until Cal dies. By that point, he's gained 23 extra treasures, Drake is at 3 life and Phillip is at 15. It's a net even for killing Drake, bringing Phillip down to 12 life with 23 treasures. Since each loop only costs 1 treasure instead of 2 due to Malcolm replacing a treasure with each iteration, he had more than enough mana to finish Phillip off.
in game 3 i believe if they did the math right the game wasnt over. 2 oponnets had around 25 life and one had over 30 at some point malcolm would produce 1 treasure alone and he wouldnt be able to keep doing buccaneer effect.
@@evil_cc1970 and for each 1 he generates 3 treasures and clint needs 2 to trigger 2 players will die and then he will only net 1 more. I haven't done the math but i dont know if the treasures remaining will be enough to kill the remaining player.
22 25 37 life. More than 2 opponents -> You gain a number of treasures equal to (lowest life total + number of other opponents) -> 24. 0 3 15. 2 opponents -> You lose 0 treasures, you win 0 treasures. -> 24. 0 0 12. That's enough. Precisely enough. But let's say it was missing one; Philip would have been at 1 life vs a player able to re-do the same thing next turn and/or kill him on any damage.
Tbf it could have been any storm win, with altar of the brood he could have milled his opponents, with reckless fireweaver he could have killed them by replaying vault over and over, ... thOracle is just easy as a symbol but is definitely not the only option here.
Professional Face-Breaker should only make 1 treasure ever, I don't know if that was a mistake in narration or an accidental misplay by Phillip. It doesn't matter how many creatures swing based on the wording
13:20 “it’s always cool seeing a unique win” Listen, Oracle isn’t a unique win. The card draw engine was but the win con was predictable. Not hating on the game or player, just thought that was funny.
What a waste of a cool card [Jeskai Ascendancy] all to just... get to Thassa's Oracle. 5 color Demonic Consultation/Tainted Pact/Thassa's Oracle. Literally Oracle with extra steps...
@@WiiTara i wholeheartedly disagree. that mindset is what got us to the state the format is in. its geuninely not interesting to watch someone dig for THE SAME 2 CARD COMBO every single game. nothing interesting actually happened lmao

I wonder if Cal is going to play Malcolm/Tana this episode
daring today aren't we
Kyle, that's his main deck. 😉
Cal has a lot better luck with this deck then I do.
@@Drummerboyno Just a matter of shuffling better
Not sure if he will

Thank you so much!
I really appreciate the quick PWP headshots. I want to know the cool people putting this together.
Game 2 was really cool. I've seen Jeskai Ascendency decks on your channel before, but I think this was the first time I actually got to see it go off!
Glad you enjoyed!
I am so happy subtitles/captions now exist. Thank you!

That sped up stack narration at 18:42 had me laughing, great narrating as always Ryan😁
Thanks! 😁
I absolutely loved these games. I really liked the intricacy of the Esika deck the most as I have never seen her played in cedh before. Also that stack in game 3 was nuts, I definitely would have just ended mumbling trying to narrate it back lol
I like how Cathartic Pyre is starting to see cEDH play :)
Great in kroxa 😁
I think this was Drake’s first appearance in these post narrations. It was nice to see how a pro player navigates in a pod like this.
wow cal & drake kinda handsome
I really like that Atsushi deck. This channel inspired me to build Kairi which is quite similar. Might have to build Atsushi now
That Esika's deck is an interesante build... Love to see "out-of-meta" decks
I'm not hard of hearing, but I have a newborn that requires lots of quiet rocking. I'm so appreciative of the subtitles! I get to watch some sweet EDH while being stuck on a rocking chair for the last hour. Seriously THANK YOU!
Just get a pair of earbuds
Kudos for the narration. It makes Mtg fun to watch.
pretty sure I saw a timeshifted foil ponder. BALL'N!
Seeing these massive stacks makes me wanna play cedh so bad, i need to start proxying up some decks!
I love your content and seeing different decks. That being said I see a lot of similar decks and would love to see you guys play decks with commanders NEVER seen on the channel...that would be fantastic
Coming soon!
- How many answers do you have in your hand?
- Yes
Wow Jeskai Ascendacy was dirty!!!! Very nice!
Yahrrrrrrrr! There be pirates in these waters!

A game with a mono red commander and no thrasios in the command zone? Count me in!!!
fun to see unique decks
i have one thing to say and one thing to ask.
first, wow esika is cool
second, is malcom usually better with a partner that has 2 different colors from blue? because i actually thought of building a Malcolm deck with Kediss, emberclaw familiar
If your main combo is glint-horn, as long as you have at least Red, you're good.
Malcolm Kediss is good too, you're in two color instead of three but now you have the ability to make three treasures off each Malcolm hit.
Fuck yes, I've waited so long to see Esika pop off.
I wasn't watching super closely, so I'm wondering if I missed something. Why didn't people just block Glint-Horn in the last game?
Cal had no blockers, his untapped permanent was a sylvan library. And drake had no fling blockers for Malcolm.
It wouldn’t matter. You can activate the ability as long as glint horn is attacking. Do you can do it during declaring attackers, or declaring blockers.
@@PlayingWithPowerMTG ah, I didn't notice he had enough mana to activate
sick games, that esika deck is rad, but i'm still sad that we didn't get to see the Atsushi deck go off, i'm so curious as to how it works
Same, tbh
is it unique if you win by thassa's
Didn’t Cal have a turn 2 win in game 2? Why did he not just Eldritch the dork away for glinthorn to win?
Yeah I've wondered the same. I've looked at a few of these games recently because I'm building the deck and I feel like Cal is playing quite slowly; which means sometimes it looks like he has the win in hand but he doesn't go for it.
I need a don't feed the fish playmat, will they be back in stock any time sooon?
Never. They were a one time sale.
@@PlayingWithPowerMTG Sadness. Can always make more, I would be happy to part with some cash.
Yeah... if an opponent has Malcolm and access to Red in their deck I never let Malcom see the light of day if I can help it. I just assume Glint-horn is waiting in their hand to pop out at any moment.
how is the mono red deck considered an ad nas deck?

Good call. I didn't do the math, but I'm sure there will be some scenarios where that happens.
So much malcolm
You see esika god of the tree *pikachu face*
My unused glint-horn buccaneer would be proud.
6:22 this is getting out of hand, now there's two of them!
love the content, thanks pwp team!

Yes.

@@evil_cc1970 and for each 1 he generates 3 treasures and clint needs 2 to trigger 2 players will die and then he will only net 1 more. I haven't done the math but i dont know if the treasures remaining will be enough to kill the remaining player.
The math works. It’s already been discussed multiple times in other comments on this video. Check those out for the math.
22 25 37 life.
More than 2 opponents -> You gain a number of treasures equal to (lowest life total + number of other opponents) -> 24.
0 3 15.
2 opponents -> You lose 0 treasures, you win 0 treasures. -> 24.
0 0 12.
That's enough. Precisely enough. But let's say it was missing one; Philip would have been at 1 life vs a player able to re-do the same thing next turn and/or kill him on any damage.
Confused why Cal didn't go for the game on turn 2. He absolutely had the setup, completely with free counter protection
Malcolm tana is so fun
'CAL WAS ABLE TO START THE MOST TWITTER DRAMA OVER DOUBLE MASTERS 2'

Cal is my brothers name and he lowkey looks like him. Except cal is short for Callahan
Noooooooice :D

Little disappointed that it was a Thoracle win, when it could have been a combat damage win
"Unique win" While I agree the method to get there was cool, it was still just thassa's oracle...
Tbf it could have been any storm win, with altar of the brood he could have milled his opponents, with reckless fireweaver he could have killed them by replaying vault over and over, ... thOracle is just easy as a symbol but is definitely not the only option here.
Monored adnaus. Sooo Rad-naus. I'll see myself out.
At least it ain't thrasios or dockside loops
Professional Face-Breaker should only make 1 treasure ever, I don't know if that was a mistake in narration or an accidental misplay by Phillip. It doesn't matter how many creatures swing based on the wording
It makes treasures for each player hit. It’s like Tymna.
