Hope you enjoy a little test of the C20 commanders! We will be back Tuesday with another C20 Commander gameplay video featuring Brallin and Shabraz, so if you're looking for more gameplay we have some on the way! Also, if you didn't catch it during the video we have a Kickstarter going for our first ever playmat release: www.kickstarter.com/projects/casuallycompetitive/casually-competitive-playmats We will also be testing out some Ikoria commanders tonight on stream at 7:30PM EST over on Twitch if you're interested to see how some of the new Ikoria Legends hold up! www.twitch.tv/casuallycompetitivemtg
Everyone counters bills tutors, Jordan plays spellseeker getting flash... Fools! Him playing that flash with the known counter spell and open mana was pretty bad tho too
Everyone is so focused on killing everyone else with one fell swoop of a combo that they just let Jordan live with 2 health and 1 little blocker. He then proceeds to interrupt two different plays and cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift......You don't always have to combo kill everyone.
This game really showcased just how powerful Oakhame adversary can be when it's not dealt with. That 2 mana creature dealt 14 damage and drew 7 cards. Not an understatement to say that these extra cards are what kept Bill in the game after his stuff got countered over and over again.
That was a fun game guys, keep it up!. Also i want to highlight something that i strongly dislike... i know that people in this channel and even some of you are really tired of thassa's oracle wins and thats why your flash hulk pile in Ukkima looked like that... its a valid approach however in my opinion there is a BIG difference between playing "a suboptimal line at high level" and "intentionally build a terrible combo from an staple wincon". Instead of that intentionally bad flash-hulk pile i think you guys should run Alluren + Cavern Harpy... that is also a combo line with Ukkima, its a good and compact wincon, its not super optimized but does not involves the nasty fish and feels much more like the optimization level you guys usually use in your videos. And again thanks for keep posting content even in this worldwide quarantine time
i fully agree, no point in playing hulk package if running such a terrible version, just go all in on the chain and add more counterspells or removal in place.
Bill missed an attack with corpse knight before he sacrificed it to diabolic intent. Also, Jordan cast flash right into a player who had just regrowth’d a counterspell for some reason?
I believe it has a bait, he already had add nausium and need to make sure it would resolve, so he decide to draw out the hate with flash to open the path. It did not go well tho since his add nauseum has not great has pretty bad
I have been looking at him as a knock off Opus Thief type commander (high value wheels, good payoffs, etc). It won't make it into the testing videos but expect to see it down the road for sure!
Agreed, the Zaxara player piloted this deck very poorly. I have a Zaxara deck that can go super wide on big hydra tokens to beat face and wins alot, I dont think I saw a single hydra token this entire game from Zaxara...poor showing.
What about a matchup between commanders that try to win through a board/combat? Id be fun to see you try to navigate through a nightmarish battlefield at least once
I would love to see a match of mono colored commanders played. I think it would be really interesting. I really like Ukkima cant wait to build around it. Great content!
Just came across this channel. Very nice production value and quite entertaining. The eot brainstorms without shuffle effects were somewhat questionable though.
Really fun game this time! I enjoyed how interactive this one was and I always love to see a nice infinite mana combo. Do you guys have a favorite commander from all of the Ikoria cards yet?
Can we see a Kethril Deck with an Ad Naueam Win con? I've been trying to build one since she was spoiled, I would like to know how you guys would build something like that.
Yeah that confuses me about his breakdown of the commanders at the end. Sounded like he was just saying "good because sultai" without explaining what ukima can actually do it why you'd run it over another sultai commander.
@@fidly4 the reason ukkima is nice over other sultai commanders is the leaves the battlefield trigger. It lets you run food chain combo easier, rather than having to run food chain with a graveyard combo like sidisi
The optimal way to build Zaxara is every tutor you can/transmute for 3cmc cards, go after Pemmin's Aura or Freed from the Real then play Torment of Hailfire/Exsanguinate/Capsize/Walking Ballista etc to auto win. I only run 2 X spells in my deck.
Man, you know what this game sure could have used more of? Thassa's Oracle and maybe a little Demonic Consultation sprinkled on top. Am I right yall? -fuck no im not right- I'm happy to see games without those cards or line of play coming up at all. Thank you.
So I run a cedh zaxara and cazur and ukima, the cazur and ukima ayer did ok but zaxara played that way wrong cause he waited for the artifact ramp, and regardless of the reason he shouldn't have waited, zaxara is meant to be proactive until you get zaxara out, after that you are allowed to stall and play control until you get a game winning x spell and infinite Mana or if you have them you do it until you feel safe going for it
Ukkima is my fav so far, I'm excited to see what this game has to offer. Although I plan on a more casual 'bomb politics deck'. Pump Ukkima to 10 power infect (aka 'bomb has been planted'), then make everyone obey to your every wishes. Otherwise instant sac/bounce/flicker. Can't wait!
I think Ukkima might be the best sultai commander there is obviously... and it can run the fish consultation and fish tainted pact with fish being the only dead card in that combo (because obviously the forbidden tutors have a ton of upside in a food chain deck in that they have the possibility of grabbing food chain and exiling the creature that can be cast from exile)...
It might compete with tymna/thrasios now that flash is banned. basically it determination if it is better to have draw engines in the command zone or a food chain combo piece in the command zone now that arguably the best combo to win the game is compact enough to fit in any deck that has blue and black it will be interesting to see how the meta evolves.
I didnt have dramatic in hand. It was a bait cast cause I had freed from the reel in hand. I figured isochron could eat a counter on the way down to clear the way
Oh Jordan, I bet you wish you could've taken back that Pact of Negation! It basically tapped you out for your next turn because you fought over Noxious Revivaling Flash (with a Regrowth in hand).

Shabraz hype!
Nice, is it a Fluctuator deck?
I’ll be honest, I needed some actual gameplay with these commanders. Thank you.
I just wanted to tutor 😭
I was rooting for you after all the counters.
MVP of the game had to be Oakhame Adversary
you will always be the best in our hearts
Billkakke no
@@DaveMassee I really underestimate how good that card is every time. Debated picking one up but not sure how good it is casually
Oh my god, bill his tutors being countered while everyone else keeps tutoring is the saddest thing ever.
Bill was a trooper this game
Everyone counters bills tutors, Jordan plays spellseeker getting flash... Fools! Him playing that flash with the known counter spell and open mana was pretty bad tho too
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG yeah, i felt that 💔
Yep, nothing quite as obnoxious as being the only non-blue deck at the table, and getting countered from all sides.
just a casual game of archenemy
Everyone is so focused on killing everyone else with one fell swoop of a combo that they just let Jordan live with 2 health and 1 little blocker. He then proceeds to interrupt two different plays and cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift......You don't always have to combo kill everyone.
Bill: "Who needs fish when I can draw cards by beating face?"
greatest thing is refreshing youtube homepage and getting this in the top left corner
Thanks!
This game really showcased just how powerful Oakhame adversary can be when it's not dealt with. That 2 mana creature dealt 14 damage and drew 7 cards. Not an understatement to say that these extra cards are what kept Bill in the game after his stuff got countered over and over again.
Definitely my pick for this game's most valuable card
Oml is this the first time we’ve seen casually competitive have a deck only missing 2 bars?
That was a fun game guys, keep it up!.

Is bill playing archenemy??? Like 3 vs 1, he ate ALL counters , WTF?
Bill missed an attack with corpse knight before he sacrificed it to diabolic intent.
Also, Jordan cast flash right into a player who had just regrowth’d a counterspell for some reason?
I believe it has a bait, he already had add nausium and need to make sure it would resolve, so he decide to draw out the hate with flash to open the path. It did not go well tho since his add nauseum has not great has pretty bad
Very nice to see the new commanders in a cEDH environment. Glad you are still making quality content still with the actual situation.
I hope we get to see Xyris, that commander seems so cool.
I have been looking at him as a knock off Opus Thief type commander (high value wheels, good payoffs, etc). It won't make it into the testing videos but expect to see it down the road for sure!
Casually Competitive MTG awesome!
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG Oh come On! #weneedXyris
Thank you! Been super hungry to see these cards played!
I just wanted to see Zaxara do something :(
Agreed, the Zaxara player piloted this deck very poorly. I have a Zaxara deck that can go super wide on big hydra tokens to beat face and wins alot, I dont think I saw a single hydra token this entire game from Zaxara...poor showing.
I hope you guys hit your stretch goal on the kickstarter, that lands playmat is amazing looking
Hype to see Nikara and Yannik!
The chain of vapor interaction with kalamax was really neat.
such a roller coaster if emotions
saw Flash being pulled at 11:02. Wasn't it banned around this time along with Lutri?
Well played turn 8 by Nate! And great win by Bill too!
Thank you for edeting the commander damage scale.
quality content; interactive, competitive gameplay; good work; KIU!
Dang, there was a butt ton of interaction in this match; loved it!
One of the best matches so far!!
Really like that Bill won the game even though his cards were getting countered left and right
What about a matchup between commanders that try to win through a board/combat? Id be fun to see you try to navigate through a nightmarish battlefield at least once
I would love to see a match of mono colored commanders played. I think it would be really interesting. I really like Ukkima cant wait to build around it. Great content!

The eot brainstorms without shuffle effects were somewhat questionable though.
wow, this channel is awesome. Whay a job well done editing this video. I found your channel on The Commander's Quarters.
C20 commanders competitive build? *This* early? Wow I love you guys.
Welcome back
First time seeing a CEDH match and realizing that its mostly just a lot of "In response..."
There is a lot of that but this is absolutely not even close to what I would consider a CEDH game. Go to Play to Win for some real CEDh
I wouldnt consider any of these commanders as cedh viable.. look at games with gitrog, zur, anje, tymna/thrasios, najeela...
@@reidbrock9046 it is casually competitive, it is also testing commanders, they also use the more meta ones often
I really dig Yannik... the shenanigans you can do with it reminds me of my Saffi Eriksdotter deck.
Yannik + Karmic Guide + sac outlet = F U N
Im pleased to see new decks^^
I'm just trying to figure out where Jordan got that Itachi playmat! Is it just a custom design from Inked gaming?
I liked the part where there was cardboard
12:15 Poor bill, got all 4 of his tutors countered so far
Such a great game!
all of the new formatting is amazing! it wold be great if we could see a xyris group hug deck tho
I love how you guys are using zoom to keep making content! Love your work you guys!
Sick game!
Holy counter spell Batman
That was a super good game. Very interactive
Nice new logo)
Adam was gonna have one of those turn 1s you dream about but Mystic Remora is too good
Really fun game this time! I enjoyed how interactive this one was and I always love to see a nice infinite mana combo. Do you guys have a favorite commander from all of the Ikoria cards yet?
Kalamax to me is interesting because it makes attacking a somewhat viable plan B (or C). I mean, it's the most easy way to tap it!
The number of lands this game is amazing
Can we see a Kethril Deck with an Ad Naueam Win con? I've been trying to build one since she was spoiled, I would like to know how you guys would build something like that.
Did ukimma do anything at all. Was it not just sultai colors. That makes it not stand out at all
Yeah that confuses me about his breakdown of the commanders at the end. Sounded like he was just saying "good because sultai" without explaining what ukima can actually do it why you'd run it over another sultai commander.
@@fidly4 the reason ukkima is nice over other sultai commanders is the leaves the battlefield trigger. It lets you run food chain combo easier, rather than having to run food chain with a graveyard combo like sidisi
Great job!
🍻 to being responsible. Give your channel 5 years of consistency. That's what it will take
Was the fork infinite in the Kalamax deck? I know its not very cEDH-y to win through combat dmg but still
actually combat damage is played a lot! Kiki wins with combat, feather wins with combat...
The optimal way to build Zaxara is every tutor you can/transmute for 3cmc cards, go after Pemmin's Aura or Freed from the Real then play Torment of Hailfire/Exsanguinate/Capsize/Walking Ballista etc to auto win. I only run 2 X spells in my deck.
Sooo much interaction
Jeez
My favorite won yay. I was planning on putting a spike feeder archangel of thune combo in
Would like to see a Xyris build. Awesome video🤘
Man, you know what this game sure could have used more of? Thassa's Oracle and maybe a little Demonic Consultation sprinkled on top. Am I right yall? -fuck no im not right- I'm happy to see games without those cards or line of play coming up at all. Thank you.
Was this played before flash was ban?
Damn I've been waiting for this
Love your content but why are the beginnings often choppy?
How do you guys set up the cameras? Obviously this is shot from everyone's home. Do you just use a webcam or something?
around the 10 minute mark, didn't Bill cast Veil of Summer in that turn, making his tutor uncounterable?
He cast it on Adam's endstep before he moved to his turn
was eot i believe, if i remember stream correctly
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG ah right, my bad!
what about brallin and shabraz?
Wonderful game
Yay I like food chain cedh decks
Brooo the black backpack is already sold out😫
So I run a cedh zaxara and cazur and ukima, the cazur and ukima ayer did ok but zaxara played that way wrong cause he waited for the artifact ramp, and regardless of the reason he shouldn't have waited, zaxara is meant to be proactive until you get zaxara out, after that you are allowed to stall and play control until you get a game winning x spell and infinite Mana or if you have them you do it until you feel safe going for it
Honestly, if I was bill, I would just scoop after that fierce guardianship. It's kind of shitty when the table stops one player from playing the game.
for a moment, i thought kalamax was going to win it all from 5 land drops behind.
That merch looks so clean
i was really hoping to see zaxara do some stuff, since it was revealed I've been interested in making it my next commander.
Blue blue blue...sooo op in commander.
Let me know if you need the misprint 2/3 corpse knight. Great finisher. I’m glad thassa’s Oracle Wasn’t the win con lol
That’ll be the last time flash is tutored up on this channel. Yay
Food chain for the win!
I'm still waiting on that 4-way mono-white game :^)
Did Yannik eat Nikara or is it just fetching her staff?
All of their names sound like soneone smashed their head into the keyboard
Miss you guys. Hope all is well
Ukkima is my fav so far, I'm excited to see what this game has to offer. Although I plan on a more casual 'bomb politics deck'. Pump Ukkima to 10 power infect (aka 'bomb has been planted'), then make everyone obey to your every wishes. Otherwise instant sac/bounce/flicker. Can't wait!
that Ukkima deck was nuts lol
Why kalamax and not Xyris?
I think Ukkima might be the best sultai commander there is obviously... and it can run the fish consultation and fish tainted pact with fish being the only dead card in that combo (because obviously the forbidden tutors have a ton of upside in a food chain deck in that they have the possibility of grabbing food chain and exiling the creature that can be cast from exile)...
It might compete with tymna/thrasios now that flash is banned. basically it determination if it is better to have draw engines in the command zone or a food chain combo piece in the command zone now that arguably the best combo to win the game is compact enough to fit in any deck that has blue and black it will be interesting to see how the meta evolves.
Let's go Zax!
Not sure why Adam didn’t imprint his dramatic reversal. He had infinite mana with out his commander being out.
I didnt have dramatic in hand. It was a bait cast cause I had freed from the reel in hand. I figured isochron could eat a counter on the way down to clear the way
When Adam was at 27, and took 2 from
Oakhame it dropped his health to 26
Man I'd love to see sharknado, rielle, kinnan, etc. :P
Play testing the new commanders? I love it already.
Flash isnt banned?
It was posted before a couple months before u watched
Oh Jordan, I bet you wish you could've taken back that Pact of Negation!
It basically tapped you out for your next turn because you fought over Noxious Revivaling Flash (with a Regrowth in hand).
hola la verdad excelente video me gusto deseo el nuevo grabación me retiro les envio besis muchas gracias
Conclusion of this game. Everybody hates Bill.
Okhame Adversary was the real MVP this game
sad you didn't build a gavi deck. hope we will still see a video with her
Green card draw through Combat Damage. Yay!
I would love it if you guys did a few without anybody using blue. You know so we dont have to see counter spells for literally every card
Soo... This is countmmander Legends
Gotta have graveyard hate
I just was laughing at how many Standard commons/uncommons are in this video...Destiny Spinner, Corpse Knight etc.
