Mitch during deck assessments "this decks great for making deals and politicing the board."
Mitch during games: "all I've done is help people and get punched!"
Remember: every time Lisa's trigger hits you, you have to yell "You're tearing me apart Liesa!"
You are a monster!
😂
Biggest miss in the entire series so far, no doubt :D
Hello doggy
@@skynyrdjesus Isamaru, Hound of Konda
Oh. Hi Mark.
I have been LOVING the influx of Close Quarters. The chemistry you all have playing with each other is wonderful and the editing is smooth and keeps the pace of the game!
I totally second that!
Oooo can't wait for this new episode of "Eddie vs. The world"!
~32:37, when you copy a modal spell like Sublime Epiphany, you have to select modes of the original spell and targets first, then the copy is created with the same modes. Mitch says "You don't have to choose the target for the counter target spell" but technically that's incorrect, obviously it doesn't matter it's going to get countered anyway, but people who watch this should know the rule.
I am immersely proud that the one non 5-c commander Mitch decided to play is one of my favs, Phelddagrif. Also, it is very strange that are many Questing Phelddagrifs but only one, a Legendayr one, that is not questing.
That's the one that finished the quest!
Jokes aside, questing refers to the sound the beast makes
@@Tekarusame Questing is the one who asks (or has) questions. The translated version of Phelddagrif in ancient greek (it was the Planeshift promo at the time) is Πλανώμενος Φελδαγρίφος which is also "Phelddagrif who has questions" (yes, I am Greek).
Do you know what app they are using for life?
Let's play everyone's favorite game: "How do we blame Eddie this time!?"
We can blame him for punching the hippo!
Cause one simply can't punch a Hippo, one can punch bears but not hippos.
Easy thing to blame him for he left a krenko deck with an altar out to get rid of one almost useless enchantment and one that helped everyone
Ohhhh I thought it was “Team up on Mitch since he STILL has no creatures turn 100”
#BlameEddie
I really hope that mitch makes a pdf of his hand drawn cards I'd love to get my hands on those
I would use them :D
He should do a print of them - some nice card stalk. I would buy.
make them alter sleeves
Haha just make some , that is what i've been doing and seeing Mitch have done the same is so funny
Eddie says he's getting rid of simic entirely, but he's played non-simic several times in a very simic way.
What a relief
Simic is a state of mind.
Simic players: This Mardu deck is a Mardon’t
Everytime I watch these, I long that much more for a group of people to play with consistently lol
Same
"Yeah, but it's very satisfying to kill you" - Eric. The essence of EDH summed up in one sentence 😂
Eric didn't have to reveal the order he was putting his goblins on top of his deck with Goblin Recruiter JS! Fun game to watch!
Not going to lie, I did not expect the ending that we got.
The long standing reign of Eddie dominating Close Quarters has finally been quelled! Congrats men!
Great game guys. Always look forward to see you play and I really enjoy the humor! :)
Around 49:45 Mitch tab 'Island' + 'Exotic Orchard' to play 'Suture Priest' declaring the orchard as white mana. Only Eric is alive though, and he's mono red.
The priest turned the tides, but errors do happen from time to time :)
Still a great game, can't wait to see more!
Eddie, love the playmat! I have a signed copy at home myself :P
This mistake allows Mitch to play Flurry of Wings changing how the game ends.
@@tybaltgaming Exactly. Mitch could have cast either, but both of them was the final nail in the coffin.
Gamestate is the responsibility of all though and magic is always fun to play :)
17:00 When Mythos gets copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so the copy would not receive the fight bonus on it.
Also, not a rules mistake and likely a worse play, missed opportunity to make land tokens! I love doing that w/ this card!
A St. Paul Saints hat on Mitch, a Duluth shirt on Alek, these guys have to be minnesota boys. Wish I could play with them.
23:54 ok that's just the confirmation I needed. I am now 100% sure that mitch is actually Jerry Seinfeld
That Riku Dwarves deck seems really funny and unique, I may build it!! Props to Alek, the Hippo is tempting my wallet too ahahah
Was waiting for this! Love the gameplay videos mitch even if its more simple than first gameplay vidéo. Actually I prefer this, feels more natural:)
That was a fun game, funny game, never expected to hear “serial hippo puncher”
Mitch, I always watch all your content and I have prob made 20+ commander decks inspired by your videos but I have to say of all the things you do, these close quarter games are my favourite. Thank you so much for such wonderful content. Highlights of my day.
To see Hippos win the game is awesome! My first edh deck was the hippo deck that you posted and I loved it.
Eddie you're the man throwing Quest for the Janklord some love with that playmat. Ya love to see it.
My two takeaways from this video is that I love Alex’s deck building and mitchs hand drawn cards
I run Krenko, Riku, and Liesa decks. Watching this is almost like I know what it feels like to punch (and be punched) by a hippo. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through all your decks.
Mitch rocking that shirou Emiya shirt ! Hoping for Christmas episode the boys create their own coal (bad) decks and “gift” them to each other ! Cool thing would be if they don’t tell the others what’s in the deck at all ! So they have to guess how the deck plays !
Didn't know Pashalik Mons existed...aaaaand bought. You shall soon be apart of my Goblin deck!!!!
Gosh the intro song is so good. Gets me everytime
Another awesome episode of 3 hats and a Eddie!!
God I love your games so much. Casual, hilarious and always entertaining!
Pay the Man, Punch the Hippo:
A term used to describe spending a cost for an event that will come back to cause problems in the future.
....The titles of these episodes are pure gold 😄😁😊
I just have to say I love Alec’s decks. Every time he just seems to bring unique and interesting decks that I can’t get enough of.
agreed, there's always so much spice and really interesting ideas
I've been loving these games! Truly coming in clutch as we head into the holidays and people's schedules get too wonky to meet for commander.
36:20 Mitch: I'm a hippo not a zebra.
Perfect timing. :)
Pretty sure this is my third watch now.
I love this episode.
Mmmmm 4th watch now
5thhhhh
6th... its actually really satisfying keeping track of this and seeing the previous comments ive added to keep track.
7th, it's still my favorite episode.
Just like sitting around with my buddies and playing. Awesome to watch, and I felt a little bit of normal back for an hour. What a great time!
This game was hilarious. I really didn't expect who won to win
Cant wait to see Krenko pop off
Well, that was very unexpected. Eddie not playing simic, hippos hipping and a awesome ending. Nice game guys.
Copying the Mythos makes it so that the token created by the copy of the spell does not get to fight, since RG was not spent to CAST the spell. (Copies are not cast)
Can't wait to see how Eddie wins this time!
The Hippo family was absolutely amazing. Also, I have those same sleeves as Eric. Did he get them from the Command Fest in a Box too?
Nicely produced and fun. Thanks for sharing and for the laughs. 🐰
Mitch’s deck always have some spicy cards. Also loving the Duluth shirt. Out here reppin’ 👌
Hell yes Mitch came back at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bolt the Bird has a new contender for kill the thing quote.
Wanna punch a hippo one dollar please had me dying. Lol
What an exciting thing to open TH-cam to find!
Welcome to another episode of Close Quarters where everyone wears hats but Eddie, cause hats off to Eddie...
These are so fun! So glad to have close quarters back!!!
Ok, before I watch the video, I'll get it out of the way: it's all Eddie's fault.
It's even Eddie's fault that I commented before watching.
Yay! Love this series! Keep up the great content!
That was an unexpected turn of events!
Love the St Paul Saints hat!
I just started the video but Im already so hyped because Eric is playing new Krenko and I fucking LOVE new Krenko
I can't belive it, Mitch finally played a solid deck, thats not total jank, and during the first turns I already believed Eddie will steal the win again, because the guys did not remove Liesa once, until now, my favorite episode ^^
I love this series, can't wait for more!
With a mat like that, Eddie totally made a deal with the Devil.
omg i cant believe mitch got this one! great game! was rooting for rick moranis and his goblin deck but the ending was so cool
I did no punch the hippo 😂😂
Love the content, love the banter!
Wow. Three color hippo. Mitch must be a bit serious
Anyone else notice how Eric kept casually looking at Mitch’s hand 🤣
The new merch is gonna be great... "Blame Eddie, the serial hippo-puncher"
Great episode can't wait for more
Awesome ending to a very funny episode. I'm crossing my fingers that PETA doesn't see it 😉
love the lodestone tshirt!
THIS IS THE FIRST DECK IVE EVER SEEN MITCH PLAY THAT ISNT WUBRG!!!
Unless im missing something, Mitch could not make white mana with the exotic orchard when he cast the suture priest as it could only make red or colorless.
Not only that, but if I'm not mistaken, he uses the orchard the following turn to cast flurry of wings, and gestures at the orchard stating he's taping it for white again.
When Riku copied Mythos of Illuna at 16:30 the copy has no mana to spend the spell so the token doesn't have "When this permanent enters the battlefield, if it's a creature, it fights up to one target creature you don't control."
So either the prospector or the priest would survive
Mitch, you should read American Hippo by Sarah Gailey. It might inspire you to play Phelddagrif the way it was meant to be played: as a Voltron murder-machine!
at 27:10 they missed two triggers of the angel when goblin war strike and Pashalik Mons were played. This actually would have come into play towards the end of the game on turn 11 with the Hippos. Though not that big a deal.
There was a third trigger earlier in the game they missed as well. Eric should have been down to 2 instead of 8 on turn 11 or 12 I think.
They missed more triggers when copy spell was played on seven dwarves
I think Eddie is the only person I've seen use check cards for mdfcs in commander.
9:07
Goblin Recruiter doesn't require you to reveal the order you put the goblins on top of your library. You just reveal the cards, then put them on top in any order.
Great video again bois :>
What I'm seeing is that you should always punch the hippo, even if they complain about it.
“I did not have a physical altercation with that hippo.”
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure when you copy a modal spell like Sublime Epiphany, you have to chose the same modes, since they are decided during cast, but are allowed to choose new targets? Is that right?
Minor note at 16:48. If you copy a spell, no mana was spent to cast that spell. The copied clone spell wouldn't fight anything.
Guys, I need a helpline to call.
I... can't stop punching the Hippo... I'm a Chronic Hippo Puncher...
Remember kids, when you punch the hippo, the hippo punches back.
I did mot feel like I was mature enough for that Clinton reference. I'm still giggling :P
Irl hippos are NOT to be trifled with. Also I just realized Eric really gives off Ric Moranis vibes to me all of a sudden.
Honestly what i thought when i saw the first episode. Was like "No way!!" Lol
Not threatening deck played.. time to play that Hofri deck
That pig placemat tho 🔥
Hello group, would you do a gameplay vid using some silver border cards at some
point?
I hope you read this:
I found a nice combo with Atogatog as my commander.
We need Bladewing to enter the field while one of those three creatures are in the graveyard: Changeling Titan, Changeling Berserker or Changeling Hero.
We choose one of those three changelings as the target for Bladewings ETB.
Now one of those creatures enters and all of them have "champion a creature". We choose bladewing for that and exile it. Now we sacrifice the changeling with atogatogs ability. Bladewing enters the battlefield and we do it all over again.
Now i am not that skilled with building combo decks and need help. I thought about maybe a Warstorm Surge or Chandra's Ignition (because Atogatog is going to be BIG) as a game ender.
But I am really lost and would LOVE to get help with building it, because it is somewhat unique imo
Maybe using scion of the ur-dragon to get a changeling and bladewing into the graveyard and then use a "return cresture to the battlefield" spell to get it going.
But i am just bad at building sth like this
Nicely played Mitch, that's a fun deck. But can somebody explain why Mitch lost his 4/4 beast token army after the fight? Wouldn't they have survived against 2/2 goblins?
Really enjoying this gameplay, more of my speed
Mythos of illuna copy does not get the fight as RG was not spent to cast it
What is that specific about they use? I use one simular but spend actually track commander damage
App*
What's the life counter app you are using? It's cool that it has that "scooped" thing for someone dying
I just came home from work and find this ... fuck yea! Thank you so much!
Hey Mitch, can we get a deck list for the hippo machine?
Much love from Toronto, Canada!
It should be in the episode description, but let me know if not!
Hey Mitch, which life counter app are you guys using?
I want to know too :D
Moxtopper!
@@TheCommandersQuarters thank you :)
also, you should check the comment of Hidden leaf, we had a debate over wether the copy of the Myth was fighting or not a creature and it appears that it shouldn't have
I don't think the game was ruined by this but it's good to know as in some case it will be game changer for future games :)
@@TheCommandersQuarters Thanks! Love your content.
Worst petting zoo, ever.

16:58
Does the copy of Mythos of Illuna get the fight clause since it requires it to be cast using Red/Green mana?
considering that when you copy an X spell, you retain the same X value, I think the copied spell would retain the Red/Green effect
@@piper964 It still needs to be cast tho. Copies do not cast spells.
@@hiddenleaf414 sure, but copies retain mods and additionnal cost (as well as whatever extra the main spell has if you used special condtions)
you have to see copies as completly copy-paste of the spell so, in instance, if I cast a fire ball for X = 6, then the copy will also be "payed" with X = 6
that is also why, when he copied his sublime epiphany, he HAD TO use the same mods choosen without forgetting or adding one (but different targets are possible as stated by Riku)
@@pierrehelie521 X spells and modal spells still don’t apply to this example. Copying and casting are 2 different things. If you copy a Storm spell you only get the copy of 1 spell, not the cast trigger from Storm.
I’ll try and ask a judge.
@@hiddenleaf414 actually, I am not so sure about what I said earlier as I digged into it because here we have a changing text effect which I believe does not apply to copy...
so I'll also ask on my side because it is quite interesting and as my Galazeth Prismari is loving copies, I should check that!
Wonderful game!
