One major error this game: none of us caught that Dina's trigger is 1 life loss, not loss equal to life gained, so the life totals end up lower than they should be. However, it doesn't alter the outcome of the game. EDIT: Also Exquisite Blood would've prevented Aetherflux Reservoir from killing Oaf, which does change the outcome (the game continues with Jade at infinite life). None of us caught that, sorry folks! Also some minor errors: Verazol should've had 6 counters not 4.
Ya'll are gonna notice a pretty big goof in this video. That's entirely on me (Oafkad). I'm so used to playing Vito that I totally goofed on one of my cards. So yeah, big apologies. I'm always disappointed when I'm the source of a rules mistake and this one happened multiple times :/...
@@sharebear421 I don't own a samurai deck but from what I know Isshin Two Heavens as one is probably the strongest just because he is so strong, but you have a couple options.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it have been impossible for Jade to get the Reservoir kill on Oaf because of exquisite blood? Paying 50 life triggers EB before the damage to Oaf resolves, so they will always cancel out. Granted, Jade was in a position to gain infinite life, but with EB on the board I have to wonder if Oaf was running a copy of some Sanguine Bond effect as well and could have had an out with an infinite damage combo. Edit: As soon as I posted this I saw that someone else commented the same thing while I was typing this up, oops. I still loved the video Tomer!
at 5:06 Oaf tells the group that they take an additional 3 from Dina's ability, but extort would resolve first on the stack before Dina. This means that the extort trigger resolves before Dina is on the battlefield. So Oaf's opponents wouldn't lose the additional 3 damage here. Ah the joys of paper magic XD
Wouldn't the Exquisite Blood make Oaf essentially immune to the Aetherflux? Every time they'd pay 50 life to deal 50 damage, Oaf'd gain 50 off the Exquisite trigger since that'd be put on top of the damage on the stack. Am I understanding that correctly? Then again Jade would be at a theoretical infinite life so it'd be very hard to win through that but not impossible ig
@@oafkad I think you'd last a few turns or more since you would have been at 127 life (due to atherflux getting used on MrCombo first). Fun game regardless.
Mold shambler is such a nostalgic card for me! Love to see it doing work. Can you ask Mr. Combo where he got those sweet eye of sauron sleeves? They would go perfectly in my Grixis Minions of Sauron deck
14:18 "I was never the threat!" ...My brother in Christ, you're playing Atraxa. And not just Atraxa, but SUPERFRIENDS. Has nobody told you that choosing that before you start is how you play Archenemy? Like, fam, you've been the threat since Turn -1. Even if you were only running the Uncommon & Rare 'walkers from War of the Spark, you would still have been the threat. I'm so sorry if nobody told you that your deck is Archenemy every time. Hopefully you'll get some of your Schemes to go off next game.
At 5:00 Dina is still on the stack when Oaf pays for the extort trigger, so she doesn't see it and his opponents should have lost only 1 life each. Dina makes opponents lose only 1 life whenever he gains life also, not lose life equal to the amount of life gained...
This is my favorite approach to “short and sweet” content I’ve seen so far. No hate on MTGMuddstah and similar creators, but I just find that approach really unentertaining. Seeing the game being played and getting at least a little bit of banter is so much more satisfying to me.
Verazol should have entered with 6 counters on turn 4. "Enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for EACH mana spent to cast it." Also, like everybody mentionned big Oof rules wise but it is entirely normal to miss weird interaction/rules. Interesting game nonetheless
If you pay 4 into X for Verazol, it enters with 6 +1/+1 counters on it because it enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each mana spent to cast it. That includes the coloured mana in its mana cost. Dunno if it would have made a difference this game, just FYI.
@@djnewellmit Ah, cool, thanks. (1) teaches me to have this on while I'm drafting on Arena ;) .... (2) any idea where those little token cards came from anyway? They are neat
Just a question, but why was the Investigative Journal not bounce when the Immortal Sun came into play? They are both artifacts -- and as far as I know, the only thing the Curio cares about is if they are a nonland permanent. Edit: I re-read Curio, and it does say "non-artifact" in it's text. _Wah wah...._
Ok so these videos comment sections have gotten to the point where at least one person from almost every play group I played in a lot is messaging me about it. I simple youtube search will tell you who made the decks first so please stop saying I net decked it. Have had this deck since pre covid and its very close to my heart and I would rather more people enjoy it then blame people for copying it.
I remember when that liberal Spice8rack had a video about Kentaro, which surprisingly wasn't secret communist propaganda disguised as a deck tech. Kentaro might be a gimmicky deck that needs 4 more tutors to actually work consistently enough, but if you get lucky it's really good, and it's also a super-fun type of shenanigan. Any chance you'll slip a Kentaro into your Tribal Tribal deck Tomer? would it be too much build around?

Also the extort is on dina cast so the first dina trigger shouldn't have happened as the extort resolved on her cast
If we did catch it though I did have enough mana to crack inventors fair and try to mill plan with altar of demetata.
Crypto should have flipped too as combo had 7 life at oaf upkeep
Then he would not have been able to activate it on Jade’s turn

As someone who punts in every single game of Magic, I can confidently say: don't worry about it!
@@MTGGoldfishCommander like not hitting the samurai player for 18? haha but seriously guys, seemed like a pretty cool and wild game.
Also Cryptolith Fragment enters tapped. I think you did fine; we all make mistakes. The important part is you learned from them.
At 5:10 Tomer pays 6 for Verazol but only puts 4 counters on. Should have been 6, you get a counter for the total mana spent, not just X
5:00 dina soul steeper was being cast and extort was chained, dina wasn't on the field til extort resolved so she wouldn't have triggered there
Spice8rack had a video on building Kentaro before Neon dynasty, it was cool to see a similar deck in action
What’s the best samurai commander deck? I see a couple different commanders used and some red/white samurai decks as well
@@sharebear421 I don't own a samurai deck but from what I know Isshin Two Heavens as one is probably the strongest just because he is so strong, but you have a couple options.
@@sharebear421very late but i heavily reccomend isshin or chishiro.
So happy to see my deck go off and get all this love for my favorite deck

I thought it was going to be spice8rack on Kentaro since he did a video a bit ago on it
Same!
Why combo with a 0 mana creature when I can take a white samurai and turn it INTO a 0 mana creature!?
I love it.

Oh bummer haha. I had a few infinite combos and ways to deck other players. Not that I have anywhere to stand on punts lol...

Was Mr Combo focused because he was playing Atraxa, or because his name is Mr Combo?
Por que no los dos?
Both! But Atraxa would be the primary reason to focus on him.

What were Oaf’s Blue and Red mtg mini-cards for?
The were the token copies of Skyclave Relic. He created them when he kicked the Relic.

Criptolith fragment should have been tapped the first turn it entered so it couldn't have burnt life then
It's hard to feel bad for an Atraxa player
I'm confused as to how jade got the infinite combo, doesn't his commander ignore creature discounts because it acts off of cmc?
Kentaro allows you to cast Samurai spells for X. You can still apply mana discounts.
Cool game, love this series! Don't get too down, we all make mistakes!
Verazol gets a counter for each mana spent, not x
I saw spice8rack's deckteck on kentaro and was glad to see this version in action
Shouldn't the cryptolith have flipped? It's obligatory
Fun game to watch!
Also, know it doesn’t matter much as far as the outcome goes, but the cryptolith fragment etb’s tapped ^
i have no idea what that accent is, im guessing 1850's texan, but i am a FAN!
Kentaro made me smile ☺️
Why crypto never flipped?
This was awesome
Oaf: "Lisa" "Tina" "Dina"
Love seeing the atraxa player get steamrolled
This game was way.. too rich blood for me. I need to buy some of these cards.
yeah quick love these till best mtggoldfish does

Dislike the ending spoiler in the title 🙁
Great job ,u made mono white good lol. Gg everyone see u next time
You can’t kill a player with aetherflux when exquisite blood is out
unless you counter each trigger of that exquisite blood
Might suggest not spoiling the outcome in the title ;)
Tomer outed as not having watched Spice8Rack's videos.
Oh
oh no
