I like the edited in corrections. Anyone can make a mistake in a commander game, but this way we don't give viewers the wrong impression on how the cards work.
This isn't that relevant since Paul ended up winning, but I'm pretty sure one of the corrections was, ironically, incorrect. The one about Gabriel losing 3 life to Black Market Connections at 30:43... he made a treasure token, losing 1 life was the correct trigger.
I think at 30:38 was everthing right. He draw the card for creating a token (Commander Trigger). If he used both abilitys, he would drawn to cards. Great game Guys, i like your videos very much and they help me to find cool commanders or mechanics.
Would have been interesting to see how things would have played out if Greg had thought to phase out The Argent Etchings with Clever Concealment. I have a feeling that Paul would've let him live, letting the wipe happen and resetting Gabriel's board, putting Greg and Paul in the best positions to recover.
@@andrewcalebmatso since it ended up going to the same zone and didn't make the target for abdel's ability invalid neither when exiling nor when retrieving, it works?
@@faroleiro1339 So basically because it says "if it leaves the battlefield, it goes to exile", since Massacre is already going to exile his commander's ability doesn't do anything because its going to exile anyways, in the same way that when it got Swords to Plowshared the effect still resolved because it went to exile. However, when it comes back after Abdel its a "new" object. When creatures leave the battlefield, effects on them are "forgotten". In the same way as, if someone gave a 5/5 creature -3/-3 until end of turn, then you used a spell to move it to exile, then bring it right back, the creature is a 5/5 again. It doesn't "remember" the -3/-3 on it anymore since it changed zones.
Thankfully Paul ended up winning, because forgetting about that was a huge bummer for him. That would've been 20 cards in the yard, and exiling his own yard with Sin Konrad in play more than likely would've won on the spot with that.
12:36 Greg was trying to exile the worm with Abdel but that would still constitute the worm leaving the battlefield thus being exiled by his commander not Abdel I'm pretty sure. It didn't end up mattering but I don't think that tech works correct me if I'm wrong
I know ya'll acknowledged the mistake, but drawing and making a treasure with Black Market for just 1 life 3 turns in a row would have been a big game changer - 6 life he would have taken (or not drawn the cards - that's the 2 life he wasn't paying)!
At 15:28 gabriel draws two cards from Marneus? Why? I think he can draw only one, because its 1 card, even if more tokens enter the battlefield. Or do i missed another trigger?
Hi Esmond/Quintessentialcommander, would you ever have a game of pauper commander ? the possibilities are insane, cause you only need any uncommon creature (even non legendary) ^^
Really sad to see Zask misplayed, you get a ton of value by churning through the deck when little insects die :/ maybe we will see another shot w him. I wish you could loop caustic caterpillar lol

i think my favorite part of this channel is how good friends you guys are
Enjoyed it, as always. I really enjoyed seeing all these new/new-ish commanders. I always look forward to the next one!
Glad to hear!

That looked like an amazingly fun game, thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
I'm always impressed whenever I see Zask do its thing. I'm definitely going to have to build it at some point.
Great video again Esmond! Excited for the commander masters video
Thanks!! Coming soon-ish!

That was like the best turn 2 sequence I have ever seen
Yes
I did not know the monkey even existed. He looks cool.
Paul is so positive. It is refreshing to see.
I really enjoy watching the games that feature Paul! He's a very thoughtful player, seems to always plan a few steps ahead.
Shouldn't the Massacre Worm have been exiled with Moira and Teshar upon leaving the battlefield? After Abdel triggers at 10:51
Exile is the same zone, no matter how the object got there…
Which means this is a way to cheat teshar and moira’s exile thing…
@@andrewcalebmat Ohhhhhh okay. Thank you!

Did you forget the Zask Trigger when the Massacre Wurm entered where when an insect dies it goes to the bottom and you mill?
Yes.... i only realised it 2 days after the game...

Dude, didn’t he draw cause of Marneus ability? 😅

It's 2 different triggers that resolve independantly
different trigger. Cat token from Brimaz, spirit tokens from Anduril
Thank you for the rules answers.
You guys are amazing! I love this channel! You play magic very much like my play group! lol
WOOO that's me! Love the channel guys
Nice hahaha thanks!

Maybe one day, but right now we're sticking with official commander rules
It is not letting me become a member on my app or on the website for y’all
Missed trigger that wasnt caught, when greg played the artifsct land at 17:25ish it should have counted as historic for his commander(i think)
Land is not spell
Playing a land is not casting a spell.
Love this channel!
Love you too!
Not only was the tax for smothering tithe paid, it was also destroyed!
What is the life counter app you are using? It's SO GOOD
Moxtopper
Great game! What is the life app you are using?
Moxtopper
This was a great video
Glad you think so!
Lots of missed triggers since the Mycosynth Lattice was out, every creature dying should've triggered Kibo :)
Today is my Mother-in-law birthday, but I get the present 😊
🎉
Really sad to see Zask misplayed, you get a ton of value by churning through the deck when little insects die :/ maybe we will see another shot w him. I wish you could loop caustic caterpillar lol

Zask player missed a metric ton of mill triggers and all their insects that died should be in library not graveyard. But meh gg
He missed a few, but Zask wasn't on the board most of the time when the insects died
I like you guys but you missed a lot of stuff this game
Yeah we did and we’re not proud of it
@@QMTG happens . Still loved to chill and watch u play:)
