    When Kediss is also a pirate it should have resulted in six total treasures because there will be 3 instances of the damage across multiple players. 2 for Kediss and Malcolm hitting in the regular damage phase (Y'all are correct in Spectral Sailor not contributing at this time), then 2 more when Kediss triggers on itself and 2 more when Kediss triggers on Malcolm hitting. It's highkey gross!

      @Alwayz114 Před rokem +1

      Ayy that's what I was coming down to the comments to ask! Thanks for explaining. So the Attack and 2 Kediss triggers were each a separate instance of "One or more pirates dealing damage". That's a really simple but cool combo

    • @gccstan31
      @gccstan31 Před rokem +1

      @@Alwayz114 I don't get it, why would it be two instances of one or more pirates? Malcolm ability only triggers once

    • @DeadlyGrim
      @DeadlyGrim Před 11 měsíci

      @@gccstan31 Malcolm's ability triggers whenever one or more pirates you control deal damage to your opponents. Importantly, this is NOT combat damage and it triggers every time (even multiple times in a turn) whenever some amount of pirates deal damage to opponents.
      The game "sees" triggered abilities as different instances of damage. So, there's one Malcolm trigger from the Combat Damage phase, then another trigger from Kediss' ability because Malcolm hit, then a third trigger from Kediss' ability because Kediss hit (and because Kediss is a pirate due to Captain's Hook).

    As always the episodes are really, really entertaining. I love the fact that every player has his character traits and brings a certain dynamic to the table. I'm just wondering why no one was annoyed by the dealbreaker from Gabriel. In my playgroup that would almost be a gamebreaker, in a sense that the betrayer would be "killed on sight" in future games.

    Paul looks so good! The combo of the new haircut + those ear studs is doing it. It was fantastic to see Matthew do his Ashling thing and it was funny seeing Gabriel play what felt very much like an Esmond deck too.
