about the FoF matter: JLK is on the lead at the moment, removal and attack decisions will be chosen according to hitting the leading player most often. So in that regard, JLK can expect to have things coming his way and have to deal with them. If he won't choose Crib Swap and suffer under Elesh Norn for a while, Rachel and he will be having beef a couple of turns, Craig and Jimmy can lay back a bit and draw their cards and spare resource for a come back. In JLK's position at that moment, I would've taken Crib Swap Stay in the lead as strong as you can.

Thats a really weird way to look at the threat assessment. Rachel goes unchecked -> the already incredibly ahead Josh gets reduced in power Josh stops Rachel from getting Elish Norn -> the already incredibly ahead Josh continues to accelerate in terms of board state. Jimmy tried to remove the one piece of the board state from Josh that would possibly prevent him from snowballing uncontrolled while already very behind due to multiple board wipe effects.

The animation from when Dance of the Manse was played was fantastic! I loved the reference to Fantasia with the song that was playing in the background while the cards marched across the screen.

This has to be one of my favorites. The game was so swingy at so many times. The production side of things on this episode was amazing. Great job guys!!

That Chiss-Goria deck performed really well. I think he’s a lot better than people are giving him credit for. Being able to dig 5 cards deep to cast any artifact each turn, including the turn he comes in, seems really powerful. And only costs 3 red to cast lol. Creating the treasures was a good idea to really up the affinity.

@OniMalco Жыл бұрын

Provided you are able to get 6 artifacts into play, yeah. And there's definitely plenty of quick ways to get there so Chiss is really good.

Does affinity for artifacts also reduces the cost of other artifacts?

This was definitely a great video and an awesome game of Commander. Also, congrats Rachel for the win. Rachel is one of my favourite people since she’s so much fun and it was nice to see you claim victory, especially after narrowly surviving losing to infect…what a comeback victory. Great job Game Knights and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.

Man, another game where Jimmy's plan gets screwed and far behind. I love seeing when he can go off! It's so rare because he has such bad luck, and either never seems to draw enough removal or his board gets wiped too many times (as happened in this game)
