OK, we are bad at Magic. With Alexios, you can still chump if the table agrees by assigning all the damage to the blocking creature rather than trampling over to face. Also, spot removal is very cope with Alexios because it gets 3 combats a turn cycle as soon as it's recast. You really want a Darksteel Mutation / Imprisoned in the Moon effect.
-
A big thing that almost everyone (including in this game) forgets, is that trample damage is a ‘may’. Even if the creature has trample, the controller can choose to deal all damage to a 1/1 blocker and none to the player, so if your opponents work together, Alexios isn’t as fast as he looks
-
Obligatory comment about how commanders that are Slicer-like are one of the many reasons to run targeted removal.
-
Richard losing twice to commander damage and still says that using sword to plowshares it's a disadvantage
-
Zero targeted removal meta is more fragile than we thought
-
Reminder for around 37:00 that Diamond Pickaxe gives the treasurr ability to the creature, so the controller makes the token not Phil
-
I'm pretty sure Richard can't Dress Down and then attack Phil with Alexios, because Dress Down would get rid of the commander's Haste, and it needs Haste to attack because it just changed control.
-
alexios is very good, but even better in a meta where nobody plays spot removal lol
-
tying this to the Aggro question in a recent podcast, this is what edh aggro looks like to me. A succesful aggro archetype in commander needs a way to overcome the 120 life you need to wipe out the board, and passing creatures around the table is a great solution IMO. That or if they come out with some kind of myriad aggro commander.
-
I expected Seth to fumble the name, but hearing Richard let me down today
-
At 32:06, why doesn’t Seth just homeward path? He doesn’t use the mana, so it seems like preventing 9 commander damage for free? Alexios is already tapped, so I don’t think it’s even a blocker for Phil.
-
Every Red aggro deck should play anti-fog spells, like Insult // Injury and Skullcrack. Insult vs. Teferi's means they still take Commander dmg, even if their life doesnt change.
-
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that all of Seth's odd rolls were 3's and all of his even rolls were 2's
-
Richard losing because he had a fog not targeted removal, fitting
-
Everybody playing assassins and heres crim who took the commander who just gives everything protection from assassins i love you crim
-
I like the wrap-ups! Giving everyone a chance to talk a little about their deck is nice. Hopefully those return
-
Tempted by the ring is an emblem too!
-
Just wanted point out that the pick axe gives the ability of making a treasure to the creature, so the person attacking makes the treasure and not the owner of the equipment.
-
Tip for playing against Alexios - If someone chumps, the controller can still choose to assign all the damage to the chump blocker even with trample.
-
You guys know that trample is a may for the controller of the creature so I would say slicer is way better
