playing wiod Joiner of forces I want to play cheap evasive non-humans early so I can get a bunch of woda triggers the turn she comes down with those I'll cheat out staxy humans to keep my opponents a bay plus some aggr humans to turn those attack steps into a Windon the deck I'm piloting is tfairy temporal Arc Mage this is a chain Veil combo deck it's got a ton of control and tutors to help make sure I can assemble all the pieces then once I've got everything in place I can make infinite mana and draw my whole deck and hopefully win on the spot I'm going to try to end this thing fast with slicer hired muscle I plan to get slicer out as fast as possible and make everyone else hit each other with him plus I've got a ton of high value equipment because even if I give away my commander I still control everything attached to him once I've got my last opponent down low my own slicer attack will deal the final blow and my deck today is led by Kennan bonder prodigy this deck's goal is to ramp into playe and activating kenon as quickly as possible then I'll be deploying big must answer threats a lot of which bring Stacks elements as well from there I can control the board and stay threatening until I'm ready to pull off the win all right let's fight prepare to get run over let's get ready to combo the game nights are trying seage this is going to be easy all right is everyone ready to play some Magic yes sir do it I'm going first and I Mulligan down to five going second I went down to six I kept a hand of seven and I'm going fourth and I went down to five and it's a bad five too but I didn't want to go to four okay take it away DJ all right any pregame actions indeed I do have one it's gemstone Caverns I'm not the starting player so this begins with a luck counter on it and I'll Exile a mountain from my hand all right draw return all right I'm gonna shock in a sacred Foundry going to 38 I'm gonna pay one for a giver of runes nice Giver of runes it's giving runes

meets the eye slicer and have it come in as the highspeed antagonist it's got first strike and haste and I'm going to go to combat I don't think anyone's going to block what makes you think that I mean no I'm not going to block but also both of us Mulligan I'll swing it higher for three damage also one of us plays a lot more CDH than the other I don't like it as a fact I don't like that at all yeah I will take three I'll go to 36 all right at the end of combat sleder has dealt combat damage so it is going to convert I'm a person now what a robot I guess it's clearly no that's the stat sound never sound did you never watch Transformers it's not slicer hired muscle on the seat that's the Michael Bay one yeah yeah that is the Michael Bay and with that I'll pass Turn to You Josh okay I'll go to my upkeep on your upkeep would you like to hire some muscle well it's really up to you yeah you're going to hire some muscle so you get slicer and he untaps okay at least I'm going to do things this game all right I'll draw oh that's a good face hey okay I guess there's no reason not to just go to combat right now yep I feel like we're going to have to spread this damage around will for sure so DJ seeing as how you also went first I know you Mulligan but I'm going to swing at you no blocks okay we'll take six down to 32 you got to keep track of this Commander damage yep yes so hire's got three DJ's got six I'm about to have six I think okay I will play on Islands oh you got it yeah no no I started with that I need another one yeah but I did draw a manac crypt oh oh that's a good card yep then I'll go to my end step and Jimmy take your commander back go ahead DJ all right untap up keep you want to hire some muscle I think I'm going to have to you got it I think none of us want to this forced muscle business is booming and drop her turn okay I'm going to go to combat with slicer and it's goated so I'm going to send it back Josh's Direction all right I have new box so I will take six and I'll go to 34 It's Already Done 15 damage yeah yeah it's still my turn one it's done 15 damage yummy all right second main phase I'll play a battlefield Forge I'm just going to pay two Mana for a dock side extortionist I got nothing for that pass priority yep that resolves how many artifacts or enchantments everyone have zero one I have one all right so I'll make two treasures and I'll go to my endep and Jimmy get slicer back yay I'll untap higher some muscle you get slicer uh draw I'm gonna play a homward path whoa no that's answer oh that's really good yeah okay I'm going to

vapor on the slicer nice yeah I have I have no response to that yeah the controller so Jimmy can't even choose yep and then second main I'm going to tap here go down to 35 because of cidia breast and then I'll tap this for another blue and I will cast a Talisman of curiosity after that I will pass the turn all right I will untap and I will draw off turn let's play a mountain I will go ahead and tap for three mana and recast slicer on its backs side I have no effects pass priority yeah yeah I pass I'll move to combat and Josh I will at you for three yep um I'll go to 31 I have Nine Commander damage from that thing all righty after it does that combat damage it's going to flip over to slicer hired muscle and I'll pass Turn to You Josh okay I will untap on your upkeep you're going to gain yourself a slicer yep I'll get a slicer and also my Mana cryptal trigger will say odds I take damage and even no damage yep Luck's not on my side this game so I will take three and go to 28 and I'll draw for turn he not an island did he get there well okay I'll go to combat and hire you only got hit early so I'm going to swing at you with Slicer in response I'm going to activate homward path you can have your slicer back your hard muscle got fired BR okay because I own slicer I'm going to gain control of it thanks to homward path so that'll pull it out of combat no damage is dealt for now then don't pass a turn and I'm done I'm with this game untap guess who gets slicer it's you DJ sounds good uh draw play a land for turn 's Saga ö a saga's on chapter one so we can tap for mana and then I'm going to tap three mana and sacrifice a treasure to play my woda uh I pass priority I pass priority yeah I woda happens woda and slicer classic combination Y Man slicer with wiod is really bad that's why I was like oh this is bad this is not a good life okay I would like to move into the beginning of combat yeah I passp already on priority yeah okay I really don't want to Wi to trigger so far three of them yeah well hang on Josh why don't I not send anything to you no that's you get so much stuff all of your humans are Pros yeah politics don't work as well here I really just want to see Rick Grimes join slicer on the battlefield yeah that's a pretty awesome Universe right there okay I'm going to tap one in a blue and I'll cast snap that's really targeting wiod okay I'm going to tap Giver of runes and give woda protection from Blue yeah I have no response I have no responses so I don't get to untap because it Fizzles totally forgot about that that's fine that's one less trigger if I have to tap it well that gives them the opening yeah yeah okay turn things sideways time yeah sideways so slicer can't go at Jimmy Josh how much Commander damage do you have from slicer nine nine that'll be 15 yeah that's a good number I could just die on highest turn yeah that could be good so I'm going to send slicer at Josh for the blue players and I'm going to send doc side at TI yeah okie dokie triers I have two woda triggers because I attacked with two non-humans so look at the top six Whi come on whiff come on whiff he's going to look at 12 too like he's not going whiffing one is great that means he only gets one human he didn't whiff he's got two mulle good choices yeah for my first wiota trigger I'm going to find this human called combat celebrant oh uhoh and it will enter tapped in attacking Jimmy and it has indestructible until end of turn is that good oh no it's not going to trigger this turn though yeah because it's already attacking I had no opportunity to exert it for a second combat face right then I'll put the rest of the cards back on the bottom of the library and then I'll resolve the second trigger wh wh Whi Whi wh I did not whn I'm trying to think about whether to do like a Stacks piece that I don't know matters or whether I just go for more damage on the B okay that's not bad I like those answers good answers how many cards in hand I have four cards in Hand cards in hand I have three cards in hand three okay I'll choose to put my real Shield of argive on the battlefield tapped and attacking Jimmy it's also indestructible and I also won't get the attack trigger because it's already tapped and attacking I'll put the rest of the cards in the bottom of the library okay okay now we go to damage we can go to damage all right nobody's blocking all right no blocks no blocks I'll take one going to 34 and I'll take seven going to 32 and I'll take six going to 22 and I'm now at 15 Commander damage from that thing and it hits for six yeah and 6 + 15 as we all know is a bad number bad unless you're playing black jack true yeah unless it's the dealer that has it anyway right okay I'll go to my endep and Jimmy get slicer back I will take it back from this monstrous pile of cards all right I will untap on your upkeep you're going to get slicer congratulations okay I'm going to draw a card for turn I'm going to play a polluted Delta I would like to sacrifice this polluted Delta something with a forest type would be good although listen you shouldn't Factor me in any decisions being made honestly I don't think we want to kill you right now itn't yeah it doesn't matter it would not do us well I think our our goal is you should swing slicer at DJ and that can maybe help buff slicer a little bit if you do that got yourself a deal yeah maybe though maybe maybe maybe DJ blocks we'll see what happens possibly all right I will look for a tropical island it will come and untapped and I will take one going to 33 for my next trick I will go to combat and I'm going to swing at joshh whoa whoa whoa whoa what you're not going to swing D he knows he got the forest type for me he's going to make me use my submerge oh man DJ's just going to run us over though okay thank you for find a forest before you did that yeah yeah yeah yeah I will T submerge for free because I have an island and you now have a forest yes yes you do targeting the Slicer uhhuh in response I'm going to tap my Chrome MOX for a red and I'm going to cast a Ricochet trap because you cast a blue spell this turn Josh I can just pay a single red I'm going to retarget that submerge and I'm going to bounce the combat celebrant I have no effects uh nothing for me I got nothing for that all right well the combat celebrant goes to the top of your library DJ I don't want there okay you kind of wanted it there at a different time yeah that's true combat damage okay uh I have no ability to block that and I will take six I will die to Commander damage no no stop stop there's a stop CU he's a car it's a car yeah all right I would like to go to Second main I'm going to cast kenon tapping like this taking one going to 32 I will then tap this Talisman of curiosity for two blue I will take one I have to do it this way because I'm going to cast a transmute artifact oh I have no responses NOP no okay all right so I'm going to sacrifice this Talisman of curiosity then I will search for an artifact and I'm going to be searching for this Basalt monolith there is one Mana difference so have to pay the one you pay it here I'm going to tap this for four Mana cuz of kenon right and attempt to untap it for three yep so you actually did this cuz if you hadn't attacked me then he could have killed me then I could stop this thing anyway keep going this generates a loop of making infinite colorless Mana by having me tap and untap yep where's he going to get the colored Mana turn I'll tap this in for two green and I'll cast a green sun Zena x equals infinity I will be able to search one thing I'm going to look for a green creature and put it onto the battlefield with Mana value infinity or less you think you could find that in there I'm going to get a thus Ah that's the deck and then I have to shuffle in the greenson Zenith into my library yeah so from here I'm going to activate thoracius thoracius allows me to pay for to scry one and then I can look at the top card of my library scry it away or put on the battlefield if it's a land um if it's a non-land I just draw the card and you still have infinite mana and I still have infinite colorless Mana with this I would like to demonstrate a loop of scrying and drawing my deck yep cool all right so first all of my lands are going to come into the battlefield tapped and it will look like this kabo and like this kabo okay okay first I'm gonna play MOX opal I'm gonna tap it for two blue because of kenon and then I'm gonna cast whole breaker hor and then I'm going to cast Chom Mox and I'm not going to imprint anything but I will get the trigger off hole breaker so I'll bounce the MOX opal back to my hand then I'll recast it p breaker horrible trigger and I'll bounce the Chromo now I'll tap the MOX opal replay the chromax so now we see what's happening here I have infinite colored mana and now I'm going to cast my tide spout Tyrant tidde spout Tyrant has a really cool effect that's the same as whole Ricker hor and so what I'm gonna do I'm goingon to keep doing this effect where I'm bouncing my artifacts back and forth back and forth back and forth and I'm bouncing all of your permanence back to your hands so you end up with they have no permanence in play they have no permanence in play okay and then for my final trick cast an endurance when endurance enters the battlefield I'll Target myself putting my graveyard back into my library that way I don't deck myself on the next turn all right well I can't do anything with one land next turn so I concede I have nothing I concede good game good game e d h i win Victory all right well that was a fast game wow uh way too fast but don't go anywhere we have another game that's right we never

now kind of slightly negates DJ's card and now pass turn Josh okay I will untap and then I will draw Josh consecrated SP trigger yeah draw I don't know why you're even asking me what can I do about it I guess I could stifle it you stifle you could stifle you could do that y we need to kill that Sphinx if we don't get rid of it right now it is Bad News Bears I'm on Blue Deck you can bounce it though that's the only thing I might be able to do but that's bounce right feels like a bad idea he'll just cast it again and you're it's already drawn four off it yeah but now he's going to draw six uh whatever I'm not winning this game anyway DJ single spell theer the glider completely I honestly thought that glow rider was going to it's the same thing that happened last time we're all hurting each other he's going to win okay I'm going to play city of Traders oh there you go should I just get rid of the graphers cage you're going to do it anyway but then I'll just give you a free turn transmute yeah but maybe it's good maybe you can pressure higher a bunch that's what I'm thinking okay I'm going to pay three floing one for transmute artifact DJ I pass priority pass pass okay I will sacrifice the Graf tier cage use the one floating and the two from City of traders to find a four Mana value artifact and what I will go get is the one ring and that will come into play you did not cast it cor you will not get protection true I guess on the off chance that the consecrator sinks can at some point die or something I won't activate it yet go ahead DJ all right untap upkeep draw for turn triggered a consecrated sphin yes you can draw your cards draw why don't have consecrated spins in my deck he gets a play I know right still good I was told that we only can only play like low CMC spells in CDH he's got six drop fires I play void wi so I'm going to float The urza Saga mana and then it's going to go to the third mode it's going to sacrifice and I'm going to go get an artifact for my library all right I got a ginger brute Ginger wow limited Allstar CDH playable yep I still have one floating from the ERS of saga I'm going to tap three more and attempt to cast my wot pass pass pass move to my combat face yeah pass pass pass yep do it okay I'm going to swing the ranger captain at joshh and everything else at Jimmy cool I have a battlecry trigger and three wiota triggers I want I want woda to resolve first and then the battlecry comes in afterwards that makes sense all right it's a lot of wotas oh yeah I'm all about do as much craziness as possible now for my first wiota trigger I'm going to have blade historian come in oh my God he didn't think about that at all like last time he was like I don't know this time attack creatur his double strength Yik that hurts you aot whip yo that one's coming in higher okay and I'll put the rest on the bottom all right second trigger 1 2 3 4 5 6 yeah I am now I hope I am killing the Sphinx oh I'm going to put in hulga Relentless rager oh also going to be attacking higher I don't get the trigger but you're still going to have to block it yeah yeah and I'll resolve my last mon not Trigger 1 2 3 4 five six then I'll put in riona fire dancer oh my god oh boy it's also going to be attacking higher okay the rest to go on the bottom of the library not that bad he's not dead okay before I block yeah you activate the one because I need to dig my way out of this no no okay so so the biggest reason why is because of ronia if it was just these two things great but this thing is a problem like we have to get rid of that I'm a quick study and I learned from the first game like that's your problem all right so battlecry will trigger and all these get plus one plus so they're all plus one plus and double strike that's correct holy shnikes and I have to block that okay all right I guess I'm blocking in the hog I declare no blocks okay I'm not going to block all right go to damage okay so consecrated Sphinx is dead guys I did it I did it I did this for the table I got rid of the spin yeah sure take 14 I'm going to take 14 go to 25 I will also take 14 go to 21 and I will take eight and go to 32 if this was game nights it would be like all right that was pretty good this pretty impressive all right and you get to say no non-creature spells during his turn this seems nuts well maybe we should talk about it talk about what do I non-creature spell him during his he's drawn six cards since last have eight cards in hand uh you don't need to do that I don't have I don't have any way to win in my hand and I wouldn't lie about that I don't know I don't know I think I learned not to trust him yeah yeah that's what I learned here's the thing is that like you can stop my wins like if you see me put a win on the stack you can stop it cuz I have necessarily I I have to cast two spells to win I you don't trust them I believe I'm going to hold it because you have to put something on the stack for me to do

four rings three rings to rule them off yeah priority pass priority I pass priority I am going to activate my one ring putting a burd counter on it and drawing a card seems like a good time okay priority passed okay fxxing metamorph enters the battlefield it will copy the One Ring all right then cuz a legendary rule I have to sack one of them I will sack the fxi metamorph but I will take the protection from everything this is a ridiculous situation yeah everyone has protection is this card a little too powerful you tell me okay then I'm going to play scalding Tarn will force me to

phased out yep okay I am in combat right now I do have an extra gorilla Shaman I think your Spring Leaf drum is the best thing to kill on his board I think I'm going to try some sort of interaction but first I'm going to swing uh hulga Josh yep because it must be blocked I will block hulga with my spell seeker great which will die it did have triggers and double strike and all that stuff but y y none of the rest of that matter none of it really matters second main I'm going to pay three for an imperial recruiter I'm not feeling good about our chances here Jimmy I'm not feeling good about the and the is still untapped is still didn't get blown up it's fine you're going to you're going to see what I'm doing in okay is it killing a Kenan I think Kenan is what I killing K would be nice I'm going to get an archist of agma M okay and then I'm going to evoke a Solitude with this archist of yeah that works Target Target Ken sure it is dead okay and then because I evoked it I have to sacrifice okay Ken goes back to my command Zone and I'll gain two going to 27 I'll go to my end step and this copy topan will go away all right untaes yeah on my upkeep I will lose one life going to 26 thanks to the One Ring okay downside such a down what a piece of crap ring no wonder they only made one I'm going to activate the one ring in my upkeep to draw two cards you trve for turn no not yet I'm going to use Manama to untap the One Ring oh my gosh and then yeah I'll put another burd counter and draw the One Ring the good news is he's probably not going to win this turn that's a lot of Mana that's a lot of man that's so many lands in a row what are we doing what are we doing right now the next one though okay all right I'm going to draw for turn why with with with I learned that that's he's drawn like 4 this game more than everyone else now I'm learning their Customs okay I'm going to play uh ancient t as land for turn gosh this is rough okay I'm going to tap for four taking two going down to 24 cast Kennon four Mana this is good okay this is good yeah it's really good I'm going to play uh MOX Amber oh it's gone yeah cost actual zero cost actual zero again I'm going to tap this MOX Amber to cast a Arcane signant man this is rough this is rough because the rest of the cards in my hands are not good cards yeah let's go to discard cuz none of these cards matter I'm going to discard a cityia brass and a seil Coliseum all done okay I will untap in my upkeep I will lose one life from the bird encounter on the one ring and then I will draw a card per turn all right I'm going to immediately activate the One Ring going up to two burn counters and draw two cards I'll play a land for turn it's an ancient two tomb my red spells are reduced by one because of my Ruby Medallion so I'll tap three floating one and cast myself an imperial recruiter oh no see what I can actually get I will find a dock side extortionist put it in my hands seems about right I still have one floating I will add one red and cast the dock side for one red Mana so please players how many artifacts and enchantments do you control I have two I have three I have four so seven nine correct I

combat yeah yeah H I'm coming at you with a 3-2 First Strike Hasty slicer all right I'll take three going to 21 all righty so at the end of combat it will convert to slicer hired muscle I will then tap a red and cast a goblin engineer what do I want I'm going to find a mra's research desk and put that into my graveyard I'm going to immediately sack two Treasures to unearth it when it ERS the battlefield I can then pay one Mana I'll sack another treasure to tap and activate it sacrificing it it will be exiled I'm going to Exile the top two cards in my library and I can choose one of them until the end of my turn I can play that card I'm going to choose a Goblin Welder oh second verse same as first I will Exile manav VA I sacrifice another treasure and I'll play the Goblin Welder and that is all I can do this turn so I'll pass Turn to You Josh okay on your end step I'm going to crack this scalding tar I will search my library and I will find an island that'll come to play un tapped I'll take one going to 30 then I will untap I will take two from the One Ring going to 28 on your upkeep I will donate slicer to be hired by you Josh all right I will draw for turn all right I will start by activating in the One Ring going up to three bird encounters and drawing three 1 two three I'm going to go to combat and higher meat slicer I'll take it I'll take the six damage and go down to 15 all right then I will L Island and I will tap six and I will attempt to cast my commander to fairy temporal Arc Mage Arch Mage Ark Mage Ark Mage whatever you desire I call it a fierce Guardians ship m okay yep it's countered that's pretty bad all right well I will go to my inep all right slicer returns home and then I'll go to my discard phase and I'll discard three lands including an otara soaring City all right DJ good luck my Shields are fully down before you untap your creatures will phase back in okay so unap mini to Fair's protection who was protecting you yeah in my upkeep slicer will trigger and with slicers trigger on the stack I'm going to sacrifice Ranger captain ofos Oh gosh yeah do not give him slicer that is all of us dead cuz cuz we're silenced priority around the stack pass well it's his priority yeah I'll pass I'll pass well I mean I got nothing okay cool ranger Captain's ability resolves all right so you all can't cast non-creature spells this turn yeah I will not give you slicer so it will convert okay go to my draw y yep okay I'm going to try to go to my combat face okay before you go to combat bounce a double strikey thing and wi not well double double bounce when noncreature Double Bs oh he could evoke out what can you evoke out what's in uh no no no if you guys guessed this card I'd be really surprised I'm going to tap these I'm a channel oara targeting hogga oh hogga okay okay that's one what's the second bounce all right I'm going to use Spring Leaf drum to tap the kinon and I'm going to channel colossal Sky Turtle to bounce the blade historian right historian is Bounce all the answers wow colossal the non-creature answers or the non this was was it so good yeah because no one saw a colossal Sky Turtle coming gets around both glow Rider and the Ranger cap yeah waa I think I just I think I just swing out all out of you the rest of the cards in my hand don't do anything it would be amazing if you had more non yeah creature instant speed interaction but man I wouldn't put anything past this guy Okay so we're still in my main face I will sadly look at the blade historian that cost four mana and the four cards of my hand and not cast it again okay I will now try to go into combat yeah I got I got nothing oh we can't cast anything anyway yeah silence Rona fire dancer will trigger and I will make a copy of signal pass ah double battlecry double battlecry yeah I'm going to attack everything at higher okay I have two signal pass triggers and a woda trigger talking with WOD too makes it sound like it's a bad decision but I think I just want all the damage possible right yeah everyone out so yeah and you you want to kill me I want to kill you okay H playing like a pro all the way to the end he's got that smooth really smooth voice to so you're like wait do I want to kill you I don't know do I want to kill you so I'm going to resolve my wota triggers first and then my signal pass triggers okay 1 2 3 four wi triggers 1 2 3 4 5 6 I'm going to put in uh Rick Grimes oh boy so I'm going to choose to give all my humans LifeLink and vigilance no math has changed you're still there but Rick James Rick James Rick James that'll be way cooler so Rick is going to attack Josh for five that's my first T out of trigger three more three more 1 2 3 four five six I might be dead too Jimmy's going to live yeah but I don't think I can kill DJ with what I have in my hand tapped out for my second wio to trigger I'm going to put in a Sarah ascendant oh my gosh okay that's so crazy oh it's plus five plus five LifeLink flying yeah I N there's no way I can kill him now seven it's a human so it's 910 this 10 can get through at Jimmy yes so if you can get oh interesting right now it's 10 in the air the other ones can't get through yeah but will your last two cards be able to get from 7 to 28 to take out Josh right now you're I got to a it at I think still aiming at Josh I cannot kill you I'm telling you so that does go at Josh yep yep yep uh wi Nota trigger number three maybe we shouldn't kill higher now see what happens you know it's too late I don't think you can I don't think he can unde uh Boromir is going to come in oh God all your hopes of Last of Us acting your way out of this that's over now that's coming at me I presume yes so I've got 24 coming at me right now okay let's do my final win Nota trigger yeah with one time it's Rick that's the craziest right now to be honest oh my is the most consistent I've ever seen WOD ever he has choices D okay I'll put in dauntless dismantler also coming at Josh oh gosh MOX on the tra going to go that was my last one to trigger and then battlecry happens okay so everything gets plus two plus plus two plus out let me add this up I'm just you know just for my own says death I'm pretty sure and it's life length but I got to figure out how much life again so Rick is at seven 7 12 plus another 7 19 + 10 29 29 LifeLink to Josh in addition you also get 55 55 LifeLink total and then more than lethal coming at you yeah I'm dead oh I'm super dead I'm super dead no more tricks for you and he's going to gain 55 yeah wait sorry sorry priority pass pass pass okay damage damage humans why okay so hire and Josh die and I'm going to gain 55 from the LifeLink going to 91 no problem you got this Jimmy I believe in you I'm going to pay a single white mana and sacrifice this dauntless dismantler to destroy each artifact of Mana value zero all right that means my MOX opal and all my treasures are going away and my MOX Diamond will go away oh no he's going to win this thing with two lands okay hope are you done uh no I'm also going to pay two for a forian revoker okay and I'm going to name pit needle I'm wondering if it's like the one ring or the welder like is getting the one ring back like is that his only way of living or is it drawing into something is his only way of it's drawing into something I have to draw into like five combat tricks basically okay friction revoker will name the one ring Okie doie at the end of my turn this signal pest copy goes away and I'll pass the turn to Jimmy I am going to untap go to my upkeep and take two damage from the bird encounters on the One Ring going to 18 then I will draw a card for turn I will play a command Beacon as my land for turn I'm going to activate Goblin Welder and I'm going to switch your fium revoker for the MOX diamonds DJ okay I'll swap them and then I won't discard a land so I have to sacrifice the all right I'm going to then tap the One Ring put a burd counter on it and draw three cards God were they the ones it was a scalding turn in the homward path so doing real good here I'll tap my ancient tomb for two colorless mana and take two damage going to 16 and play a sensei's divining top and then I'm going to tap my soul ring for two and use one of the Mana to activate my Sensei diving top and look at the top three cards in my library I'll order them like this you got one floating I have one floating right now I'm going to activate the Sensi divining top and draw the top card in my library um okay I will go to combat and DJ I'm going to swing at you with these three creatures sounds good uh no box all right before damage this is my last shot I'm going to tap two red mana and I'm going to cast built to smash targeting my own slicer however before that resolves I'm going to tibolt trickery my own buil to smash countering it and maybe I'll get something that can kill DJ in a single hit don't you know what all the top cards of your library are no I'm going to maill them potentially all right so I'm going to choose one two or three at random if I roll a one or a two that's one three or four that's two five and a six that is three hopefully I get a six or five I got a one oh I'm going to Mill the Sensi divining top and then I'm going to Exile cards until I hit a nonland spell it's a gold Vin pick I can't cast it so that is just going to get exiled and DJ good game a DJ taking it home man good game you're right the second one was longer I told you yeah yes nice Victory all right well congratulations to uh to everyone not at this table ah yeah that's true we're the novices it's us although Josh who knows if you drawn some land sure I'd like to think that I would do better I I would like to think I showed improvement from game one to game two mentally yeah on the board well I just kind of understood the dynamic a little better I think I had the Casual mindset in the first game like I was like oh we're on a team I should listen to to hire specifically and his advice about what I should be doing and then I was like wait a minute he's tricking me into doing stuff so he can win yeah and I didn't realize how aggressive mulliganing happens in cedh gosh I I'm just like I didn't realize how important it was for me to just get off to a turn one slicer and if I don't I'm kind of immediately behind so that was a lot of fun though I learned a lot in those two games alone yeah definitely intense I felt my pulse rise maybe more than I have in in casual commander of late so yeah certainly don't trust higher I would say don't trust anybody who plays a lot of cadh because they probably learned that that's part of it right to opusc and deceive your opponents to make mistakes and I think I actually liked that about it once I figured out what was happening so if you are interested in uh maybe building a c deck and trying out the format well cardkingdom.com commmand is the best place to go to pick up your cards for that they have a huge inventory they're going to have all of the versions in the conditions that you're looking for and that's what we love about Card Kingdom is you if you want to build a whole deck you order all of your cards you put them into your cart and they all arrive on your doorstep in one convenient package I hate waiting for a lot of little packages to show up cuz you know those last couple sometimes take a long long time and you're just chomping at the bit to play the deck card.com commmand you don't have to worry about that it just all comes all at once you sleeve it up and you're ready to go yeah and those sleeves better be ultr proos sleeves at ultrapro.com commmand because look if you're playing a CDH game you want to have a cool looking mat cool back box cool
