    Ugh looking back I see that this game could've been way better if Adam decided to sacrifice his creatures to yaheeni before the dictate of erabos hit the field, if he would've done this dictate wouldn't trigger a single time letting elesh stay and then have teferis protection go off and having all his creatures die.

      Actually, I'm thinking that even with the Yahenni play, Craig still misplayed it: He should have sacrificed Aurelia, and kept Elesh Norn on the table -- that way, Josh phases back in, his stuff dies.

    • @erniespratt1660
      @erniespratt1660 Před 5 lety +31

      Knowledgable players like Josh are actually pretty common. The problem is that he seems to have lots more experience than opponents he faces in Game Knights. Which often skews games in his favour.
      Take a look at one of their earliest episodes with Kessler. He's just as much a player and a deckbuilder as Josh, and watching someone like them play off each other is more fun that having Josh artfully stomp the unsuspecting table "in style".

  • @gabrielsoares3605
    @gabrielsoares3605 Před 3 lety +11

    At 35:40, Adam could have sacrificed his zombie token to Yahenni prior to Dictate of Erebos resolving, then when Elesh Norn resolved none of his creatures would die, meaning no Dictate of Erebos trigger. When Josh pashed back in, his creatures would die.

    Rule of Game Knights I think everyone should follow: No matter how behind or ahead he is, Always Finish Off Josh First. Cuz if you don't, he could just combo off later and potentially win the game or if not, make everyone miserable. Good game though.

    • @targetedandfiring4336
      @targetedandfiring4336 Před 5 lety

      to be fair, the golgari player was facilitating some of that. He knows elesh norn is going to wipe josh's board and that josh has the most threatening board on the field. So, what does he do? he flashes in dictate and basically screwed the elesh norn play up. when the guy with the best engine is online, maybe hold off on making powermoves (especially when you've been mana starved for a bit) and let the elesh norn do the work

    • @metalsabatico
