Shout out to Cassius, and wish him luck with his new card store. He's really helping bring MTG to people who would normally not consider it.
This! So happy for him.
I would of ordered but I remembered I live in Canada so the pricing is brutal for us lol
Dude is such a beast when it comes to MTG. Love what he does and, while the stereotypes are changing, it’s awesome to see him help to break the mold
Best of luck cash!
@uchiha clan why did you post this?
I love how everyone identified Cassius as archenemy but somehow decided helping him was the best idea
Have you seen him??? He's terrifying!
loooool the spike got tiltysalty. love it. i mean that was a beutiful swat play that you just gotta admire like "woaw how cool, and besides now you guys get to play magic fot the upcoming turns instead of topdecking" josh just made me a fan of his
If u know josh with rhystic study record. He is the true archenemy under radar
How has Josh played mtg for years and years and played rhystic study on multiple game Knights and not known it was a may?
He's like Nicol Bolas. He's the archenemy but helping him was the only choice.
Josh building his deck: “I’m gonna be the master of time.”
Cassius: “You merely adopted time.”
i was born in it
@@jemtaylor3738 molded by it
Josh: "We should worry about Narset+Windfall"
Jimmy: "I think we will be fine."
Cassius: "Time Twister"
Jimmy: *shocked Pikachu face*
To be fair, no one thought he would have time twister. That card is worth more than my car
Fairly certain everyone could have seen an NFL player who runs his own MtG store owning time twister.
Also I don't blame Jimmy. As he said, he couldn't do anything about the Narset. That was all Ashlen.
yeah... if he would have had timetwister on the turn he played narset he could have wheeled on the same turn by not paying for rhystic, so it was actually very unlikely that he had it(and he "top-decked" it anyway :D)
Wheel of fortune, not windfall
@@artstsym I was going to say the same thing. Attacking Chandra was a good idea because the emblem would’ve been deadly especially with fiery emancipation. Even if it would’ve been 2 turns before it came out
"12 damage to tasigur"
but the hullbreacher-
"toralf 7 excess damage to jhoira"
I mean sure but hullbreacher-
"toralf 5 excess damage to snapcaster"
Your phyrexian arena would appreciate-
"toralf 4 excess damage to Radha"
Why do you build my anxiety like this
"toralf 2 excess damage to..."
There is literally no more optimal target than that 3/2 Hull-
"Josh's face"
...ᵇʳᵉᵃᶜʰᵉʳ
My thoughts exactly omfg
And it's when they know he has Omniscience. Just wow.
My favorite comment!
I always wondered why she'd always bring OP commanders on shows, now I know it's because she can't play mtg
@@fulgurobaboon1321 I wouldn’t exactly call kaervek OP
I like how this game was a constant amount of jimmy and Ashley saying " hes bluffing Cassius wont do it" and then Cassius does it
The WHOLE game lol
Of course it was so awesome and so funny I was laughing my butt off
Josh has every right to beat these people with an “I told you so” from now till the end of time
He's just a whiner.
@@fernandostar3507 they had multiple opportunities to deal with the very obvious Narset Wheel combo and not one person did anything to stop it besides him despite him constantly saying it’s a threat so he had every right to do so
@@thetone6320 Ash even paid for the Study trigger on the turn Josh was the only one trying to get Narset off the board 😆
then in an episode with the fans, he makes an observation which ends up shooting him in the foot about rat colonies in the graveyard.
I love how Josh realizes he made a mistake right after, but simply doesn't ask for take-backs. Class act.
There hasnt been a single take back in any of the episodes as far as i remember so its more about keeping consistency.
@@igorzuluaga2253 I know, I just like seeing people play that way.
@@gradyturnbull1137 makes sense. I feel like it's a useful as a learning tool. If you feel the negative effect you definitely dont wanna do it again.
I agree, it's a class act. At my table, our group rewards stuff like that; we would have stopped and given him the take-back as a group.
I can't stand when people ask for take backs, it's so damn annoying. Like I can understand if you're introducing someone to magic for the first time, but if you know what you're doing then no, just no.
*Cassius threatens Omniscience*
Ashlen: "As long as he's not a threat to me."
Famous last words.
Anyone about to hard cast Omniscience is THE threat lol
Yeah, Ashlen was playing it nice by turning Kaervek into an almost group-hug deck, where literally everyone gets a "shot". That's fun and games by itself, maybe. But you just *don't do that* when you've got a Spike like Cassius at the table. ^^
dumbest thing ive ever seen someone do. letting him deside where the 10 mana went.
That's such an obvious bad move even to me, a guy that plays magic with only my dad.
That's the first time I've seen someone shown the table omniscience and people still help them.
Josh = Literal hero of the game
Cassius = Archenemy
Ashlen and Jimmy = obedient allies of the Archenemy.
Josh is more like the hero we don’t need
Josh wins most games, so I don't really see him as a hero :P I was even kinda happy to see Cassius get the combo off. Even if I was constantly internally screaming at Jimmy and Ashlen.
Reverse archenemy
As a combo player myself, I'd kill to have Ashlen and Jimmy as my opponents.
29:04 "Good job Josh. Not that Ashlen or Jimmy are gonna say thank you or anything."
JLK's sass has me in stitches this episode
Josh: "Hey Cassius, can you be in the next game knights bro?"
Cassius: "Sure, I'm not playing that casual bullshit tho."
Flexing with the $8000 Timetwister. Love it.
The Alpha, The Spike, The one that got swatted so haaaaaaaaaaaaaard
The deck was a casual deck though. CEDH Tasigur lines don't use a 10 CMC and 7 CMC two card combo to win.
@@josephrivera9818 lol stfu
@@Gevaudan1471 u mad bro?
It hurts watrching Josh slowly lose his mind as Jimmy and Ashlyn give the game to Cassius at every step of the way.
He had a couple less than great plays, but he spent the entire game trying to play table police while they got greedy as hell and actively facilitated Cassius' win. Really cringeworthy game.
he could stop the narset time twister combo but he doesnt know the timings for playing chain of vapor.
I mean, Josh also gave him unnessisary treasures to get counter-swatted while he was attempting to use all his resources to stop Jimmy *WHILE KNOWING* Cass had an Omniscience in his hand.
@@maxspecs I mean, I think there's a difference between a technical misplay (giving a treasure) and giving the guy the cards be wants and not removing his threats...
@@maxspecs It's not really fair to fault Josh for forgetting a subtle "may" clause on a skyscraper-sized stack after he poured a majority of his resources into policing Cassius; Jimmy and Ash simply didn't contribute enough in threat control/assessment to keep him in check.
Lol Josh is the only one with any threat assessment capability.
Its pretty cringe, you see it so much irl too. Counterspells/removal aren't 'unfun', they're more or less a necessary component of edh or it just turns into solitaire
@@alexdavies4373 I mean does really somebody that is playing commander think counterspells or removal are unfun in general? Its just unfun if it nukes your combo or you turn, bein dissapointed that something didn't go through is natural tho and as long as you don't dwell in your sadness for rounds after rounds its okay.
well there are many ways to play commander, and there is also some fun in seeing somebodies combo go off. And there is also fun in just politcs and so on.
@@Ramog1000 When people are playing cheap cards that you only need one or two of to win the game like hullbreaker or narset + any wheel, you really need instant interaction.
This is basically a game of Jimmy and Ashley handing the game to Cassius
Cassius: Casts Narset
Josh: Watch out for a wheel
Cassius: Casts Timetwister
Jimmy and Ashlen: Surprised Pikachu
And Jimmy was like “Why didn’t anyone say anything about this?!” 🤣
Josh restart Narset loyalty just to draw one card
also Josh "sure, I'll start feeding the fish myself, what's the worst that could happen?'
They were idiotic
@@danielyarsky6128 ok, i stopped watching when I saw that swan song play 😅
Josh whispering “Vedalken orrery” jealously under his breath killed me
Josh's card he loves it and probably would steal it over the better cards in magic if he had a steal spell.
To be fair he at least got his rhystic studies.
@@dillongause7528 What sort of party pooper plays steal spells in EDH?! **hides Grixis Marchesa Theft deck...**
I was cracking up when he was like I’m so jealous jimmy gets to untap and do nothing on his turn.
Josh: "My precioussssss..."
I love how Jimmy and Ashlen are constantly like "that's bad" while having ways to stop it then just not doing it lol
Cassius: plays omniscience a 10 drop enchantment
Ashleigh: Ok choose where your gonna do the 10 damage?
Cassius: uses diabolic Edict
Ashleigh: oooh i need to be in control, take that whole TWO DAMAGE
Diabolic *Intent, makes a whollllleeeee bunch of difference here, but your point is VERY valid.
I was upset she let him sling like 20 damage before she did anything honestly lost a tiny bit sanity how do people see omniscience and not think it’s a threat, 1 card draw engine or spell and it’s over
@@blazeruiz It was such a misplay
@@blazeruiz Lack of experience playing, I assume.
Hahahaha That was the dumbest play I have ever seen 😂
Ashlen talks about Cassius flying too close to the sun after spending her turn playing Fiery Emancipation...
what a powerful turn of magic that was
While I very much enjoyed this episode of I was at this table with Ashlen this game I would’ve been really annoyed. She specifically gave jimmy a tutor who stated to the table that he got enchantment removal for mystic remora. Then a few turns later plays a do nothing enchantment that turn (awesome card but do nothing for a table rotation here) into a known removal spell instead of her commander which would’ve been an answer for the biggest issue on board. And then if that wasn’t enough, she makes a very casual game type politics deal with a powerful cEDH deck at the table and rather than keeping Cassius in check by throwing the same from the big spells cast at his face, she completely passes off responsibility to her opponents and by doing so gives the game away to the obvious highest threat at the table. Again, they are just playing for our entertainment and to have fun so it’s nothing serious but if that was me and my friends, you better believe I would be chewing out my friend for playing like that
Garrett Estrada Honestly, I agree with you. Personally I don’t blame Ashlen for the fiery emancipation play. I just think she could have done it better like politic with jimmy to kill Narset or something. But overall yeah, she would be annoying to play with this game.
P.S. Cassius’s deck is very much a casual deck. Not a cEDH one. As someone who has played with and against cEDH decks, his is nowhere near that power.
@@garrettestrada6434 to be fair, jimmy stated that the card was meant to use on mystic remora and josh mana rock and then just not used the card in any of them
@@garrettestrada6434 Saying Cassius's deck is cEDH is either just ignorant or disingenuous, he took a few different CEDH lists, smacked in random cool 7 drops, (Palinchron, Sheoldred) and took out any cEDH wincons that work with what he has in his list. For example, his Jace and Thassa's oracle would combo with demonic consultation, he didn't have demonic consultation so no win con there. No deadeye navigatory with the palinchron, another combo win missing. Like, he's running Lim Dul's Vault, to get what combo? Nothing. The deck has no good wincon other than some value. I'm very sure that for Game Knights they don't want the games to end with infinite combos so no one runs them, which is a huge portion of cEDH decks.
Cassius’s face when he says “Plus I’m still mad at Josh.” Lololol
thats like one of the few times he was smiling
I need time stamp
for future viwers, is at 48:20
I know that Ashlyn is a good Magic Player actually but this made her and Jimmy look insane not doing anything for 3 turns before Cash wheeler
Yall remember that time Cassius cast a multiple thousand dollar 2/2 bird? good times
Timestamp? Card name???
@@jaycue7641my comment is from 3 years ago. I'm not going to rewatch the whole video to find the timestamp to save you from rewatching the video lol
@@joshuadempsey5281 Fair enough. I watched the whole thing. I just didn't know what the card was.
@@jaycue7641timetwister became bird 👍
Cassius: obvious threat.
Josh: Look the obvious threat!
Jimmy and Ashlen: what?
Ye he stronk, let's help him! 💀
I’d really like to see a game with Cassius, Craig, and Kyle Hill where they all just go nuts
I'd love that, just to watch Josh's threat-deflect Greatest Hits.
Yes! Dude that would be an epic game!
Nah, I like the sentiment but it would literally just be cEDH gameplay with at least one list stock from the cEDH database if not more. I watch those games all the time on other channels, I appreciate GK for the creative casual plays (except this game unfortunately...). Although, it would be nice to see Kyle stomp some people again. And if you did the competitive lineup, you'd HAVE to add DJ back to the show which would be kind of refreshing imo.
cassius and kyle yes, not so sure craig would want to play that. hes a timmy at heart. he builds powerful decks but they are not competitive decks they are timmy decks.
Yo this would be so dope to see!!!!
"Who woulda thought letting an omniscience resolve would be bad" Jimmy and Ashlyn, probably
Cassius: *casts Omniscience*
Ashlen: *points Kaervek damage at Jimmy*
She has some... weird priorities. That deal of "you can decide where the damage goes" should have ended as soon as it was clear that Cassius was going to cast Omniscience to begin with. ^^ Black-Red doesn't have enchantment removal aside from the few borderline black enchantment removals that got printed recently. But Kaervek is potential player removal. Why waste that?
I get why she did that deal; it makes it so no one feels ganged up on, BUT there are better ways to do it; for example dice roll like with Vial Smasher or just put it out there "if you cast it you get the damage either at your face or the worst thing on your board" which turns it into a Ruric Thar-esque.
@@samdnelson13 nah O disagree becuase cash was in control of the game and ashlen was making terrible plays the whole game also when someone has a GOD card that everyone knows there gonna cast that can end the game they should %100 be the target of the table that's how my group plays
@@Sorababy Yeah, you don't show Omniscience and then *not* expect to play archenemy.
I think she made the deal so that her commander won't be seen too much of a threat by her opponents and be removed too soon, but at that point of the game, surviving Cassius predictable onslaught was a higher priority. I consider myself so so at MTG and I wouldn't have done that. I think she tried playing way too nicely overall.
@@philipped.r.6385 Yeah, she was gambling he was out of gas and trying to aim at the other threats. She wanted them to keep worried about eachother while she burned them down and built up since she didn't have the same value engines going on. It's a reasonable gamble, but it would have probably been better to just throw the omniscience damange at his face to keep his life low enough that he couldn't combo off too hard with whatever was left in his hand.
Her concern was that her power on the table was most effective as long as others didn't consider Kaervek a danger to them, so using it to kill a player would have removed a threat, pointed agression her way AND she'd be facing a Jin Gitaxis plus million card Jimmy in the process.
Meanwhile, Cassius' needed BOTH a way to draw enough cards to make Omniscience matter plus a way to kill Kaervek. That's all hypothetical danger, there'sa good chance he can't pull that all off at once with a small hand size. Jimmy and Josh she knew had access to tons of guarunteed resources.
So does it seem silly in retrospect? Sure. But the overall threat assessment was correct. I'd have kept the omniscience player 10 life lower or extracted political favors from the others before killing him earlier, but Jimmy could have chosen to throw the damage at Cassius too - and there is long term value in keeping your word even if it disadvantages you.
I have a policy that I will honor the spirit of my deals even if it kills me in Commander, which means I have no trouble getting people to agree to deals. I also have a policy to kill other players that betray deals with me even if it costs me the game. ;)
Cassius brought a bazooka to a knife fight. At least Josh knew what was up and acted accordingly.
I don't feel like this comment serves the situation correctly. Cassius brought a bazooka to a knife fight, but he used the backblast to kill everyone.
Wasn't that big a difference and josh overacted as he usually does and probably part of the reason no one cared.
Game should be over fast if Josh didn't interfere
It's strangely satisfying to see Josh warn everyone, have everyone ignore him and then be proven right.
Remember everyone in the chat telling people to ignore Josh every single Game Knights?
This is why you don't ignore the man who is normally the threat.
@@muchluck7981 the man knows what he's talking about lol
It's like the time Craig blew up Josh's artifact when there were much bigger threats on the board just in spite of him.
That Emancipation was such a god awful nonsense play. Josh a very smart and skilled player, to just ignore him and play deadcard. How can someone be this bad at threat assessment?
@@oORoOFLOo I thought so too
Everyone: Oh shoot he has a Narset, let's hope theres no Windfall!
Cash: casually dropping a 13K Timetwister
Dude ends the game with infinite mana, his entire deck in hand, an omniscience in play, and a jace wielder of mysteries on the battlefield... that may be the most absolute win I've ever seen.
Call this man fucking nicol bolas cause cassius marsh just dominated the game
When things open up for Travel I'll be visiting Cassius store for sure.
Check his prices 1st lol you might change your mind
@@davidfirth6325 I'm just there to look at his muscles.
@@davidfirth6325 I just looked at his prices, my wallet just ran away
What is with those prices
@@leifwalker4929 what were you looking at ? I looked at some sealed products ( war of the spark booster box for example) and it seemed in line with tcg player.
Granted I haven't looked at singles but for sealed it seems like normal card store prices ,maybe even on the better side of that equation
JLK: *hates on Mystic Remora*
Also JLK: *plays Rhystic Study every single episode*
And forgets it's a may lol
@@tylern3581 Greedy 😈😈😉😉
D O Y O U W A N T T O P A Y O N E ? ? ? !
It’s actually getting kind of old watching him whine every single time someone else plays a draw engine, while he plays Rhystic Study at the same time.
@@starner00 I don't mind, I just found this particular one funny, since it's literally the same effect 😅
This is easily THE most painful episode of game knights ever. Period. I think we need another command zone episode covering threat assessment lol.
Agreed
The blatant ignoring of Cass's threat was funny. Poor Josh knew the danger since it's a deck he would build.
That Time Twister, Swan Song and Deflecting Swat interaction is why magic is so damn good a game. Dear lord that stack was absurd! Big ups to Cassius and his new store
I wonder how much money any of those decks cost.
@@wgemini4422 They have the decklists with prices in the description.
Feel like Cassius brought a shotgun to a knife fight, all them previous shows got him like "i ain't losing this one!" Haha
The second I heard what his deck was I realized that
I run decks witch scale based on my opponent decks like mind control decks and clone decks to avoid this exact problem.
It says a lot about someone to bring a cEDH deck to a friendly round. 0 creativity, just took a tournament list & done.
@@jebadiahbowman3232 To be fair to Cassius he has made like over 10 million from playing in the NFL so it's not unexpected that he has many expensive and powerful cards, if I had to guess he probably doesn't even own a casual power leveled deck
@@jebadiahbowman3232 people have fun in different ways, chill out.
@@jebadiahbowman3232 call it cEDH if you want but if the table would have played right they could have taken care of it. His deck didn't get out of hand because it was crazy, it got out of hand because 2 out of the other 3 players let it get out of hand. There were so many missed opportunities because they they didn't acknowledge the real threat at the table until it was too late.
Man, Jimmy’s Jeska’s Will really instigated one of the craziest stacks I’ve ever seen, that was pretty wild.
What?
It was actually Ashleigh cast
Having only started playing Magic a few months ago, watching these videos really shows me how I'm barely scratching the surface on the crazy possibilities this game holds. Could not be more excited to keep playing for years to come. Thank you guys for the awesome content and for convincing me to play just by watching you!
in a similar boat. looking to build my first commander deck now. blue decks are crazy and honestly i am a bit scared because im sure blue has to be super fucking popular X3
@@Baby-Blue-102 blue green and swamp are the most popular I think, in my playgroup everyone is mainly only blue, Blue/Green, Swamp, Mountain, Mountain/Water and then another 2 swamp mountains and 1 Person plays Plains/ Water
Just in commander. I think other formats suck... You have always your 4 copies of a card there and do always the same. Just Commander makes Magic playable
@@mileenan.2968 honestly commander is fun at times but it’s just not competitive not to mention its not a constructive format. The amount of net decking in commander is insane. Lol
Josh plays Rhystic study and no one removes it. This has been a theme for years.
Josh plays Rhystic, Jimmy plays Vedalken Orrery, that's somehow part of the theme.
Jimmy and Ashlen needed to keep it around for Josh to draw into his counters to deal with Cassius. The classic "enemy of my enemy" trope.
It's part of the founding doctrine for the show
Its also funny because im pretty sure it was josh who said "always pay for rhystic study" but noone pays for his
The problem was not him, infact he didn t win
Jimmy : “We’re building some high powered edh decks from time spiral remastered”
Also Jimmy : Proceeds to play Rada.
Radha is a good commander, just not *that* Radha.
Ashlen: can do a total of 12 damage to anything
Also Ashlen: kills everything except hullbreacher
Ashlen hard punted this game. As soon as she knew cassius had omniscience she should have been aiming all damage at him.
Everyone: “OMG Mystic remora he’s drawing a million cards.”
Josh: *Actually drawing a million cards with Rhystic Study while everyone sleeps on it*
facts 😭
Yeah, unfortunately he felt like he had to use all his resources to answer everything else being played. His commander's plan was too slow and he didn't want to take a turn off to play something for himself.
Ironically, since Josh decided to play like that it all worked out well for the table. If Cassius wasn't such a big threat (or potential threat) then Josh might've shown just how much advantage he was getting.
As Marsh explained, the Remorra on T1 was a huggge play in playing catch-up (especially with the Sol Ring the turn after). As many cards as JLK drew, they weren't as important as the cards Marsh drew (at least in a hidden information game where all cards are equal in the opponents' minds - sure JLK may have had bigger win-con cards he was drawing but we don't know if they were those or lands, and same for Marsh). And it's just not as good as it could be with Narset out; even if it allows him to play catch-up a little, it's still objectively not as good as it 'could' be.
Josh was just super salty this match
@@theunloadedrpg1376 well in the beginning I was salty as well because anybody could have seen that narset play from a mile away but jimmy and ashlen just closed their eyes. And josh told them so as well and they didn't seem to care as much, they got lucky josh was packin. And then ashlen decides to play fiery emancipation instead of kaervek, which I mean i think in general was a bad play but it really would have been better if she played her commander and then jimmy play a 3 drop to kill the narset/hullbreacher, whatever it was
I swear Cassius’s hair is different every time.
For real
part of the Keeps ad
He's rockin the Top Ramen look this time
Waiting for Cassius to don a spikey mohawk
his hair has its own character arc
Josh to cashius: "pay for ristic studies"?
Cash: "I will not cuz you cant draw more than one due to narset"
That was cold! xD
The thing people forget about Icarus is that he actually flew. He did it. Everyone focuses on the flying too close to the sun, but he did it, he flew.
Except his father (Daedelus) made the wings he used to fly. Icarus didn't do shit.
Look up the whole story.
Jimmy; "Cassius is a very aggressive player!"
Also Jimmy:"I'm not gonna attack Narset and hope Cassius plays nice."
um, what do you think he'll do?
Narset was at 3 loyalty on jimmy's turn. Jimmy has a 2/2(his commander) and a 4/5 tracker, and Cass has a maze and a 1/1, narset never dies there.
Also, Jimmy plays a mana dork as his commander
Jimmy's play was correct though
The logic from Jimmy and Ashlen in this episode made no sense lmao
Actually probably the best episode all the huge stack situations, all the learning experiences after big mistakes, and just really cool deck interactions I LOVED this one!
Ashlen: "maybe I should take control of my COMMANDER'S DAMAGE"
After Cassius Dealing 18 dmg to Josh and Jimmy...
JLK not knowing Rystic study is a may ability is peak JLK.
'Why would I ever not draw a card?'
I love how Ashlen and Cassius have kinda become regulars over the years
Well I think Ashlen works for them, so she's might as well be hahaha
@@nicholaseikelberry8009 Yeah, pretty sure she and Ladee Danger are both staff now (hence why they show up in most of the recent Extra Turns episodes).
@@souradeepgoswami4654 yeah. When I see Ashlen and Ladee, I play with myself; I mean, I push play
The laugh after josh said "why wouldn't you think that? He is Cassius." was gold.
Josh's plays around the timetwister were pretty cool, he nailed it, got a nice read on the twister and found the opportunity to resolve that situation.
So happy for Cassius for getting his dream card shop. Mad respect.
agreed! That's awesome
And he finally gets a W too!
@@Foldz880 he did get a win from the commanders anthology video. But this one is more of a win with his own homebrew deck. So it’s worth more in my opinion. After three bad losses, I felt this was the best one
Must have missed that one!
@@Foldz880 it was a long time ago. Episode 8. It’s really funny even for precons
Dude Cassius looks so damn happy to be there like he's been missing his friends for months, such a great energy from him and congrats on his new card store!
Sarcasm?
@@Gevaudan1471 no
COVID has made us all miss our friends for months.
Need to get Cassius and posty on the same show together!
42:52 Cassius' reaction to Jimmy letting him choose for Tasigur's ability tho
Jimmy: Yeah, I'll deal with Remora.
*proceeds to not only not deal with it, but also feed the fish*
I was so surprised because it really sounds like he has some kind of enchantment removal. When Cassius didnt pay, that seemd like such a smart move, and then he goes ahead to play an amazing enchantment... And Jimmy didnt remove it! That was some entertaining twists and turns. Also he did say he was going to get rid of Joshs rock.
Yeah that was pretty lame, but he was planning on using force of vigor and was short a mana. He really should’ve played his commander instead the. He would’ve been able to cast it for free.
Worst part was that he technically has a chance to remove it before the Cumulative Upkeep trigger resolves by pitching a card to Force, but he doesn't.
@@tierfunmtg Wouldnt that simply give it one more card trigger before it dies?
@@erikohman2294 Yes, assuming that Cassius lets the Remora die anyway (which he did), that would have fed the fish one more time. Jimmy didn't know that Cassius was going to let it die, so he failed to hold up his end of the bargain.
Feels like Jimmy really did Ashlen dirty in the beginning. Promised to take out the remora and Josh's talisman if he could tutor, proceeds to not deal with either of them, then leaves Josh's stuff alone and uses the card he tutored for to destroy one of Ashlen's permanents
He didn't have the mana to cast the force on his turn so he waited to use the free mode but by the time he could the remora was already gone.
Yeah cant pitch a card to cast for free on his turn. Has to be on other people's turn.
@@MountieBeaver42 the remora was gone but Josh still had the talisman and now a rhystic study and Jimmy instead went after something of ashlens is my point.
True, even if he wanted to he doesn’t have priority on Cash’s upkeep, plus he sacc’ed it anyways so....
@@jdotwilliam He'll have priority on Cash's upkeep, but not until the Cumulative Upkeep trigger is already on the stack. Active player's triggers (Remora) hits the stack, then everyone passes priority. Technically he has a chance to destroy the Remora then, and he doesn't. Cash lets it hit the yard anyway, but he did have a chance to remove it first.
It hurt me how much Ashlen and Jimmy ignored and kowtowed to Cassius. Then Josh wasted his whole hand trying to steal a Jeska’s will from Jimmy??? Dear god that was hard to watch.
Watching him dump all that, KNOWING Cash had the Omniscience in hand, was a massive misplay. Especially after Josh was the only player with proper threat assessment the entire game.
I really love the dialogue and effects used in these videos. It’s so entertaining and makes the gameplay easy to follow!
God, I felt for Josh’s salt so much. It was well justified salt. Regardless of if Cassius had a wheel or not, the threat is there and should be taken into account.
The only thing missing was a shot of Josh looking at the camera with pure disappointment right after Jimmy said "Why didn't anyone say anything about this???"
Ahh yes my favourite character from The Office, Josh Lee Kwai
Omg yes I was waiting for this lol. I loved all the "I told you so" though
He actually did it at the very end wishing everybody a good game. Look at 1:09:20 that sad look into the camera :D
This is like that classic mtg story beat where the Gatewatch gave all their sparks to Bolas in hopes that he'd be nice enough to defeat himself for them.
I literally love these but sometimes I forget about this channel 😭 and then 7 months later I'll see it again and I get so happy that there's so much content to see again
Cassius: plays timetwister for the 2nd time
Me: sees 10 minutes left on video
*good game*
I almost gave that when narset hit the field 1st time, but i just gave game when the time twister was casted the first time, Cas was getting way too much ahead even at that point, deck which plays that kind of evil combo, allowed to get ahead will just win eventually
Lmao, nah this was a trashy pub stomp of a game 😂 no gg, just ez for the dude that dropped a Power Nine piece mid game and then said "sorry" like a goober after knowing that's what he net decked the list for
@@09Dragonite you salty ? They all had real powerhouses and expensive cards, and the social contract was "let's play high level commander", if it bothers you, you should have stopped earlier. Truth is, most of us won't ever be able to afford a time twister, and won't be able to ever witness it happen on our table, so that's really cool to see how powerful it can be on the show, it's the whole point of it after all, entertain.
@@lasterman94100 i agree, really weird/stupid comment from riot
@@09Dragonite to be honest windfall would have been the same or even better considering tasigur has delve
41:52 Cassius looks like he wants to hop over that table, and beat Josh with that Mana Drain
Yupppp
Lmao
He had so much salt at that time he could have pelted him to death with it at that stage.
Jimmy Wong! I randomly watched Mulan and saw you as one of the cast! Congrats man! And keep going for roles! I’ve been a fan for about 2 years and it’s you guys that introduced me to Magic and FNM. Now I’ve taught 2 of my friends and we play commander once a week. Thanks for everything you and Josh do!
Fantastic game! Felt very much like games at my LGS. Decks are close in power level, but not exact, the stack can go nuts, there was lots of good plays, and a few misplays. Great episode, loved to see everyone and great job to all the people behind the camera making the episode possible!
Jimmy: "Deflecting Swat? Out of the blue?"
No Jimmy. Out of the RED
Thats exactly what I said out loud! 💯
I love the look on Casius's face when he gets his Hullbreacher back with Tasigur. Like a kid that gets so excited for a treat he rarely gets. So cute. You go Casius! 😂♥️
“She may be doing this to pass blame.” Is the best quote
I have never played EDH because I just started playing MTG a little under a year ago due to the pandemic but I am always blown away at how fun it looks on The Command Zone. Not to mention the production value of Game Knights is legit comparable to that of an actual TV show. Great job guys!
Josh: "there is a Narset on board, Cash is going to wheel, you must answer this"
Ashlen and Jimmy: "haha, bad threat assessment go brrr"
Josh was guilty of bad threat assessment too knowing full well what Omnescience meant and letting the Hullbreacher resolve when he had a Snapcaster Mana Drain... I bet he will never again forget the May ability on Rhystic Study.
Well, there’s not much more they could have done (expect Ash not playing her commander)
@@MarkAvo oh yeah, there were bad plays all round by everyone except Cash lol. And that's not even using the power of hindsight. I was screaming at my screen the whole way through.
@@RaunienTheFirst IMO, Win or lose: if there weren’t play mistakes to learn from then it wasn’t a good game of Magic. That was a good game of Magic.
Kudos to the whoever went to the effort to animate Radha and Narset's lip-sync, and to do it well!
don't forget snappy's let's try that again
one of the best stacks interactions I’ve seen in a while! Great video and great win hehe
One of the best episodes by far! I learned so much about the game. I learned more about the order of resolving and the stack, and about how planewalkers and attacking planewalkers works(idk if I fully understand it but I understand mostly I believe)!
shoutout to whoever does the card animations they've really stepped it up
Summary of this game:
Josh: "Cassius is about to win the game! We need to do something"
Jimmy & Ashley: "haha non removal spells go brrrr"
Cassius: *wins the game*
Josh: (Surprised Pickachu face)
underrated comment XD
I feel like Josh is more on that tilt face. He saw it coming.
Cassius clearly going to win at this point
Jimmy & Ash: we shouldve used this done to cassius
Josh: I TOLD YA SO
Yeah it was actually kinda annoying how 50% of the table's threat assessment was so off.
The only two players who properly played to win were Josh and Cassius. Ashleen and Jimmy just handed Cassius the win on a platter by doing deals with Cassius that only hurt them and their only hope to not lose (that being Josh). Ashleen shot her commander's triggers at Jimmy and Josh on the turn Cassius won. She could have killed him with that damage
Without a doubt, the coolest match I have ever watched. That was very entertaining and fun to watch. Great job on keeping your cool from Josh and coming up with the win that knocked all 3 out at the same time! Truly legendary!!
Cassius has such a low-energy personality and seems to be the exact opposite of a stereotypical magic the gathering player yet he seems to have so much fun it's wholesome
I am SHOCKED that Ashlyn didn't kill the Hullbreacher with Toralf.
She thought Rhystic was a threat
@@eavyeavy2864 lmaoo
It’s honestly possibly the worst misplay I’ve ever seen on Game Knights. I don’t know what she didn't see, because my 2 year old nephew could have seen that Hullbreacher-Omnicience problem coming.
Let's not even discuss the fact that she played Fiery Emancipation instead of Kaervek while Narset was out- and let's reeeeally not discuss the fact that the Fiery Emancipation did literally nothing and got destroyed right after
She wanted that Cash D
"Playing with power" fans at the start of the game "Don't feed the fish!"
Never ever feed the fish >:)
*starts cringing when the fish got fed*
Fish was fed too many times this game.
Lol I'm fairly certain Cassius was playing a similar list to Folger's Tasigur deck from last week. I thought he was going to drop an Demonic Consultation after that Thassa's Oracle haha
DON'T FEED THE FISH!!!
Josh: Watch out! Cassius is going to make us discard our whole hand!
Also Josh: Imma put four time counters on this Jin-Gitaxias...
I’m just getting into magic. I made a blue red deck and am just now unlocking the potential blue has to be an extra spicy counter to everything or an abusive system to destroy everything. I’m LOVING it and this episode opened my eyes. I had to watch it twice and take notes of all these cards I liked. It’s amazing. I didn’t think that football player and mtg would go together but holy crap that was amazing. And honestly Josh having counters at a few points was amazing.
*Cassius and Josh countering each other’s spells and getting salty*
Ashley: haha kaervek damage goes brrrrr
Jimmy: I swing with radha hehe
Josh' salt on the Narset / Twister was entirely justified though imo :D
To be fair, Ashley cast Kolaghan's Command and Jimmy cast Burnout, both are some pretty swanky stack interaction.
Radha is better in the 99. Would rather have a different gruul commander like ruric thar
That had to be one of the most infuriating plays ever. JOSH TOLD YOU!!!
Edit: 20:20 followed by 22:00 and 23:47 resulting in 24:46
That tasigur play where you mill your entire library a bazillion times and put all the nonland cards back into your hand is so beautiful.
This was amazing to watch. Suspense from start to finish! I loved it
Remember boys and girls: Necroptotence laughs at Hullbreacher.
I think I have a necropotence somewhere
Remember boys that's why ad nauseam is the best card in magic
Necropotence is my main card draw engine in my Edgar Markov hyper aggro deck. When I cast it... it’s good stuff.
The dream turn 1 in my mono black deck: Swamp--> Dark Ritual--> Sol Ring--> K'rrik--> Necroptotence. One day it'll happen. And I'll probably lose that game somehow.
@@danielshaw8648 If I actually pull that off in my K'rrik deck I will lose because it is demon tribal instead of competitively made
Love whenever Cassius is one of the guests just because I noticed he's not afraid to say he's salty as hell. I admit if I was in his shoes I would be salty as hell too, but glad everyone had a good game.
this was ashlen's fault. if she just targeted cassius since she knew he had omnipotence he would have been dead
This is one of my favorite episodes! They keep getting better.
Ash and Jim really dropped the ball this game.
For real! How they gonna just let a boring ass wincon resolve like that lol
We Cassius should've lost the game after he said he activated the mill effect a million times
@@Shadow_Gamer12012 Nah, milling from an empty deck doesn't lose you the game, so it's not an issue. You only lose if you try to draw when empty, not when you get milled while empty. This also means that for example, someone who gets milled until they have an empty deck, but who has cards in hand/can play from graveyard could still win the game if they take out the opponent before their next mandatory draw.
Josh literally was saving this table left and right
I love that Jimmy, Josh and Cassius were all adding and resolving the stack and Ashlyn's just there like "Damn"
"Most competitive player we know...Cassius."
I wanna see Craig "Mr. Infect" Blanchet play vs Cassius.
“Hey Josh we’re gonna run out and grab something to ea-“
“Rhystic Study trigger, do you pay?”
