I like to imagine that between recordings Richard is just sitting on his sofa chair. Motionlessly. Just waiting for another game. Playing different scenarios in his head. Just sitting, scheming and waiting.
I appreciate Tomer always honoring his word, even when it’s super detrimental to him. I also love Seth’s “surprise” that Tomer would do that when Tomer, many times, said he would. I love Tomer/Seth interactions.
Threats like that are just a bad idea in the first place though, we've seen time and time again where Tomer threatens hellfire on people, cornering himself into game-losing plays every time.
I might have missed something, but instead of targeting the Ayara at the end, could he not have exiled his own knight to get a chump blocker? Truly a man of principle if that was the case :)
@@rmanzero You just need to make them more carefully. If following through on a threat is more damaging to you than your opponent, or if not listening to the threat is more beneficial than fearing it, you should never make threats, unless you can succeed in a bluff. But if you can make properly coercive threats, you can control a game without using any resources. EDH is politics.
Slivers are each just a small tiny piece of the whole so the name makes sense for a hive of monsters. I also LOVE how excited Phil gets for Seth's value.
Or more pecisely, they were in their original design. They were each a piece of a shattered cosmic entity (or something like that) and shared abilities not because of a hive mind, but because the one entity was becoming more whole as you played more of them.
Remasuri is also actually a word in German, although it is super uncommen and I never heard it before seeing it on a Magic card. It roughly translates into mess, or clutter, or tangle. It is a similar idea to the sliver term. Sliver describes the relation of the individual to the collective while Remasuri just desribes the collective.
Seth: Are you really going to deny me the Coveted Jewel? Tomer: Yes. Richard: What did it cost? Tomer: Everything Spoiler for Next Week Crim: Clash On!
Slivers are called "fragmentados" in Spanish wich translates into "fragmenteds". I've always thought the spanish translation makes a lot of sense since slivers are not really good unless you put some of them together like fragments of a whole
I personally put Grave Pact at an A on the salty scale. My play group usually avoids it because any deck that can use it just ends up locking people out of the game very easily. It's really unfun to play with it and play against it because the game suddenly shifts to trying to remove it.
@@nCedric1 Yeah it definitely ranks pretty hight on the salt scale. It's just that Jadar get's a pass (from me) to play this because it's just too sweet with him xD
If Priest of Forgotten Gods didn't target, it would be a mana ability which can't be responded to. That might be too good at 2 mana, even for Commander.
At the beginning Seth mentioned that he likes to play more recent commanders for anything goes week, and honestly I love that. That could be a great idea for game themes if you guys are ever running out of theme ideas: Anything goes from the past 2 years, or Standard Anything Goes, or something. Gives us more chances to possibly see commanders from recent sets that may not have been picked for their week's episode, or even just see different takes on it. Clash On!
Moonsilver Key is legit, but especially shines in decks that can recur it. It's the sort of card that scales with your card pool and intentions. It gets your Sol Ring, Arcane Signet or Land as a baseline. But also: the aforementioned Forsaken Monument, Indestructible Artifact Duals, LED for Breach Combo, Monoliths for Rings combo, KCI, Altars, Henge, etc. And if you're lucky enough to play Vintage, it grabs Lotus and Moxen.
Tomer is just waiting every morning in front of the LGS to see if Seth is driving by to hire some guests for the day. The tough life of a Canadian migrant. At least the plants get to eat today.
When Sliver Queen was printed, City of Brass, Undiscovered Paradise, and Mox Diamond were all standard, then called Type 2, legal at the time. That's not including pain lands from 5th edition that were admittedly only allied-colored but were still pretty good. I don't think people really understood the power of Sliver Queen and/or Mox Diamond at the time they came out, but it was totally possible to get Sliver Queen out by turn 5. I think one of the reasons they didn't was because Wasteland came out in Tempest and was really, really good.
Priest of Forgotten Gods targets so the ability isn't a mana ability. If it didn't target, it would be a mana ability which draws you a card, which creates really weird issues online (since you can ctrl-Z a mana ability but then you'd have seen the card, etc.). "Abilities that have to choose targets aren't mana abilities" is a rule that exists just to handle cases like this.
I have an upgrade for Phils deck that makes it more interesting. Alter of the brood, alter of dimentia and heart stone added with Queen makes for an instant mill combo
Eldrane has a lot of tropes from Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology too, not only Grimm's fairytales. So yeah, names like Locthwain are supposed to look vaguely Celtic/Gaelic
I got a Grave Pact for my birthday recently and Jadar looks like the perfect home for it. Im contemplating what deck to build around it, but Jadar just shot up the list alongside Lyzolda and either of the Marchesas.
Dictionary and Merriam-Webster define sliver as "a small, slender, often sharp piece, as of wood or glass, split, broken, or cut off, usually lengthwise or with the grain; splinter." and "a long slender piece cut or torn off : splinter." So, they're basically synonyms. Any distinction between organic or non-organic is rubbish.
FYI command tax only increases when you CAST your commander, so other methods of getting it out of your command zone like Hellkite Courser does not increment the tax
Tomer, GOOD NEWS! Kaldra Compleat might even be viable (well, enough to have fun with) in Legacy or Vintage. In Vintage, if you combine Kataki, Stony Silence and maybe Energy Flux, you have a brutal hate package vs artifacts, possibly mono-W, and Kaldra can survive that hate by being indestructible/having no activated abilities. It's worth a try, it's not super-hard to hate on lands via your own lands, especially if you're mono-coloured. I feel like nobody will see it coming, and if you want you can still run the fast mana and just let it die when it stops mattering, so you might get out an early Archon of Emeria, or Thalia GoT, either of which is brutal in older formats which like to cast multiple spells, and grind to a halt if these get out. That Sliver shenanigan over working with other player's Slivers was a big deal briefly, and IIRC that's why new cards often aren't symmetrical. Eldraine had a subtheme of 'Matter of Britain' I think, in the knight tribal that didn't actually matter enough apparently. While there have been many henges, the most famous one is in the UK. Lochthwaine sounds like a British Isles inspired place name, as do some other ones. YMMV? I'm starting to warm up on Coveted Jewel, it seems like a fun card in certain decks. At the very least my OG Multani deck should take a look at it. It's like a much bigger, beefier Monarch for people to shoot for, and if you don't actually care about it (or if you can always get it via Shadows), it just looks like a bunch of fun to play it out. 6 mana is a bunch, but 6 mana to draw 3 is pretty reasonable in most colours. If you can protect it, then you've got ramp and some cards, which seems good for 6 mana.
Phil, remasuri kommt von den ösis und heißt so viel wie durcheinander es ist nicht bedeutungslos oder eine Wortneuschöpfung. Hatte das auch irgendwann mal geprüft weil, mir der Begriff nichts sagte.
I don’t play grave pact or dictate because it’s a bit too effective in locking out creatures strategies, and besides, it’s usually those sneaky spellslinger decks you gotta pressure 😋
I like to imagine that between recordings Richard is just sitting on his sofa chair. Motionlessly. Just waiting for another game. Playing different scenarios in his head. Just sitting, scheming and waiting.
I like that scenario
He is damn good but it's mainly due to his ability to control his mouth, not always his play patterns. 🧐
Tomer is doing a terrible job of being fired.
He deserves to get fired from being fired
I really like the trailers at the beginning of the videos. Brings so much hype before Richard wins :D
The prediction before it even happened!
That subtle flip of Tomer's cam to make him point in the right direction at 10:15. The Editor should get a raise.
Dude, he's great about that all the time! Very conscientious and detail-oriented.
I appreciate Tomer always honoring his word, even when it’s super detrimental to him. I also love Seth’s “surprise” that Tomer would do that when Tomer, many times, said he would. I love Tomer/Seth interactions.
Yeah for sure, if you dont stick to your threats they will mean nothing next time. Granted Seth never takes them seriously anyway lol
I agree, it's a shame that Tomer got fired
Threats like that are just a bad idea in the first place though, we've seen time and time again where Tomer threatens hellfire on people, cornering himself into game-losing plays every time.

@@petrsevcik5044 "a small, thin piece of something cut or split off a larger piece", so probably a sharp piece. Knife hands lol
This is the BEST crew this season. I love that there were so many fun, janky, casual friendly decks in an "anything goes" episode!
It's not 3+ hours so I doubt there's more than one janky deck
Seth: Are you really going to deny me the Coveted Jewel?
Tomer: Yes.
Richard: What did it cost?
Tomer: Everything
Spoiler for Next Week
Crim: Clash On!
This whole channel and everyone I’ve ever seen on it is super wholesome. The positivity never feels forced. ❤️
Tomer: "Metalwork Colossus is pointing down, that's why he doesn't have reach."
My brain: "Metalwork Colossus doesn't have reach. He has bend."
Ok but that Smash intro was legit
Slivers are called "fragmentados" in Spanish wich translates into "fragmenteds". I've always thought the spanish translation makes a lot of sense since slivers are not really good unless you put some of them together like fragments of a whole
Lore wise that also makes sense
I'm glad Phil provided the word splinter. I was almost dead.
"The best didn't happen, so I just died"
mood
Aminatou is my favorite commander. So many funs ways to play. I was so glad you showed her off with my favorite coveted jewel
Very lovely to play even as a Janky deck
Richard understands the power of saying no to deals. His unwillingness to make the deal spikes the ball back into Tomer's court.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! That opening hits me square in the nostalgia
I personally put Grave Pact at an A on the salty scale. My play group usually avoids it because any deck that can use it just ends up locking people out of the game very easily. It's really unfun to play with it and play against it because the game suddenly shifts to trying to remove it.
Yeah, an enchantment that locks the table until it is removed is pretty much Stasis, so it DESERVES to be an A. I hope the crew reads this comment.
@@nCedric1 Yeah it definitely ranks pretty hight on the salt scale. It's just that Jadar get's a pass (from me) to play this because it's just too sweet with him xD
It never effects my decks because I run very few creatures but seeing the pain in my timmy opponents eyes makes me not want it to be played ever.
If Priest of Forgotten Gods didn't target, it would be a mana ability which can't be responded to. That might be too good at 2 mana, even for Commander.
OOOOOHHHHHH BOY CLASH ON
WHAT A TRAILER!!
Not grabbing a Swamp off Fabled Passage changed the course of this game entirely.
*prismatic vista
As soon as I saw that Prismatic Vista and Phil's hand, I thought, "Oh, he'll fetch for a swamp."
I want Tomer excitedly yelling clash on to be my text msg sound
Sliver kind of makes sense if they are all a piece of one whole. A sliver of the hivemind etc.
Thats a sweet point but then they should be "splinters" right? Because they are organic?
@@Y0utube5ucks that adds up. I'm guessing the creator didn't make that through line. I'd love to find out the trivia to the names.
@@nickjoeb Agreed. When I was a half dyslexic kid I always just called them silvers lol.
We need a 'Clash On' playmat with like the C.C. crew ready to duke it out.
That intro is Fantastic! The Brawl music always takes me back. One of my favourites.
Kind of sad Tomer missed Crib Swapping his Haakon to block with the changeling token and not die that turn
No regrets
@@MTGGoldfishCommander I respect that🙏
That was such a sick intro. Brawl music will never not be hype as hell

Also, Brewer's Kitchen's plants are awesome 🪴 What is the huge leaf????
Great episode.
Tomer dying to just to deny seth the jewel was hilarous, but inadvisable.
I love how tomer says clash on like wobbafett coming out of his pokeball

With that intro Nintendo will be trying to take you down!
Tomer in smash when
01:19:35 Richard's Evil Laugh cracks me up!!!
In the US, sliver and splinter are pretty much interchangeable.
I got a Grave Pact for my birthday recently and Jadar looks like the perfect home for it. Im contemplating what deck to build around it, but Jadar just shot up the list alongside Lyzolda and either of the Marchesas.
Hazezon Tamar loves Shields of Velis Vale to spite exile opponents' boards when they remove him. :)
Seems entirely reasonable
it's so great to see Tomer this happy😭😭
we really stan you king👑 clash on!💪

I see you with that subtle plant flex Phil
SUPER CLASH BROTHERS!
Tomer should just say "Clash Out" when he ends his vods. Different and still cool 😎
Wow, first time I see the new intro and I love it!
I like the new Clash On! Intro transition. HOWEVER, I'd love to is in outro transition screen that says Clash Off!
That intro was awesome lol
hahahaha that music tho on start up~! Just Great
Omg, I love the soundtrack you picked for the intro. What is it???
Feels like Phil edited the beginning 😂
(Just started the video so idk the rest😅)
Okay I only watched like 30 seconds and I already have to comment to say I loved the special intro. Made me smile.
CLASH ON
I wish you did a adventures in the forgotten world precon commander upgrade guide your guides are so useful
CLASH ON!
MVP of this game: Coveted Jewel! One of my favorite cards.
FYI command tax only increases when you CAST your commander, so other methods of getting it out of your command zone like Hellkite Courser does not increment the tax
Literally my favorite deck is 5C Changelings also. I play it with Tiamat but Tomer has good taste
Jadar destroyed me on Tomer's stream last week, lets see how it will perform today (I love sac decks and loved Phil's version of Jadar)
Dude the intros are so cool!!
17:48 A single sliver is a minor annoyance, but if you were to have 20+ slivers, that would be pretty painful
THAT INTRO THOUGH!!!
Phil getting the kindred discovery hit in that board wipe killed any recourse he may have had
The Brawl into music.
He is back, back again, with Tribal-Tribal as a friend, should he win or should he lose, he’ll all know he is spelled Tomer and not Ooze.
Tomer, GOOD NEWS! Kaldra Compleat might even be viable (well, enough to have fun with) in Legacy or Vintage. In Vintage, if you combine Kataki, Stony Silence and maybe Energy Flux, you have a brutal hate package vs artifacts, possibly mono-W, and Kaldra can survive that hate by being indestructible/having no activated abilities.

If you can protect it, then you've got ramp and some cards, which seems good for 6 mana.
What program are they using to play?
Whoaaa love the new intro. Clash on!!
Damn, that intro was 🔥
Tomer at the end describing his deck made it sound like Smash Up. Ninjas and werewolves and...
Maybe an idea for a new name for it?
I'm digging that new into...
Richard's face with two full board wipes in hand
The reason slivers are called slivers is because they are slivers of an old god
Actually "remasuri" is a real word. It's used in Austria and means something like big mess. :D
2:47 OH MY GOD
One day Tomer will get to pop off with Tribal Tribal.
Tomer's tribal tribal is temporarily protected from sliver overlord. Due to ward sliver on the Field
Phil is a great add!
I always figured they were called Slivers because they were but a small piece of the greater Hive. A "sliver of the Hive" if you will....
that intro was great
What do they use to play?
18:50
Upstate new yorker here, sliver and splinter are interchangeable... could be an us thing, kinda like gank is an upstate thing
Phil, remasuri kommt von den ösis und heißt so viel wie durcheinander es ist nicht bedeutungslos oder eine Wortneuschöpfung. Hatte das auch irgendwann mal geprüft weil, mir der Begriff nichts sagte.
Great intro this week
"Richard Didn't come to mess around" ..."alright...Moonsilver key" haha
1:19:00
Tomer could have exiled his own creature to generate an untapped 1/1 for chumping, or am I mistaken?
the editing on this is great. Phil?
It's time to clash on!
They’re called slivers because they are all like little slivers of a card, and come together
YO, THAT INTRO S L A P P E D
I don’t play grave pact or dictate because it’s a bit too effective in locking out creatures strategies, and besides, it’s usually those sneaky spellslinger decks you gotta pressure 😋
Remasuri-Oberkommandant! Remasuri-Oberkommandant! Remasuri-Oberkommandant! Remasuri-Oberkommandant!
Does anyone know when Esix will come to MTGO?
Clash on! Clash on! Clash on!
I love using Haakon and Nameless Inversion. It is a delightful combination in a zombie deck.
Does the contraat look different to anyone this week?
CLASH ON!!!
That intro, holy crap
Yo now that they are doing Universes beyond correctly what if they did a Sliver Secret Lair with classic/new Slivers reimagined as Predators
