Got to meet Tyler recently at my LGS, didn't get to play a game. Super nice, was a pleasure meeting, will enjoy my newly signed Koma.

Winning Magda pilot here! Appreciate you guys for hosting such an awesome event. Had an amazing time, glad to sneak away with a win on my first large event and show off the power of mono-red 💪. Wasn't a single ounce of salt all day / nothing but good vibes. Looking forward to the next one and running it back with the dwarves!

hey! i was the malcolm tymna (femboy farm) and i wanna say thanks again for hosting the tournament, it was a great time and im super excited to go to another! i shouldve convinced malcolm kediss to counter that maskwood, but hindsight is 20/20

The Play to Win team continue to not only be the best cEDH content creators, but also stellar human beings. So good to see them continuing to promote good causes with their channel!

58:46 Hey y'all thanks for putting on the tournament, it was a ton of fun! I was the Talion player in Dylan's Round 5 game. I did wind up winning after Cephalid Coliseum-ing Dylan's Thoracle; I had a Bloodchief Ascension on 2 at the start of that turn from Dylan and was down to 1 life at the time of the Thoracle attempt, so after knocking him out and the turn passed to the Elsha player with Bloodchief online, I was able to come back by the skin of my teeth. It was an absolute pleasure playing with y'all!

Tyler should run for president the way he’s politicking his tables.

I met these guys at Okotoberfest, super down to Earth. These guys really make it feel like cEdh is very inclusive. I'm so glad you guys are in the community. Love the content and attitude.

I'm still embarrassed that Cam got to watch me wiff on 5 Etali triggers off of Rionya in round 1

Really love how much more Tyler is opening up on Camera. He definitely seemed a bit more reserved in earlier videos. You guys all have the best vibes together.

congrats on another tournament, what a great showing

A couple of buddies and I drove 6 hours to play in this and it was a great time thanks for hosting a great event!

please do more of this!! it's good to see how the meta is going on tournaments every once in awhile... it helps updating our decks!

I love these tournament reports!! I learn so much from them. Keep them up!

The editing on this episode is great! (opening hands cycling, card prompts) kudos

Oh so the homies are great players, AND great humans. Thanks for supporting your fellow humans. As a cis white male, I’m definitely buying a gay to win shirt because I love ALL my fellow MTG family😊

Yea Tyler I (Ryan) was Cam's Round 4 Tivit opponent. The Archivist trigger that got me the Force of Negation was the Trigger from either when Cam Mystical Tutored for Borne Upon a Wind or an Intuition that Blue Farm cast to go get Dress Down in an effort to shut down all of cam's lines plus Tivit's ability to make treasures and stop me from getting any more turns. The 20 minute stack battle that happened over Borne happened on top of my Archivist trigger lol. Ironically had that Trigger just been resolved earlier I would have drawn dead. Cam Brain Freezed me for 12 during the stack battle to fuel his Dauthi pile with more interaction. The Force ended up on top post Brain Freeze, so really Cam should have just let me draw then his Brain Freeze would have gotten my Force of Negation. Once Cam died to his Consult I was left with 2 artifacts and no Tivit abilities, but I had Mox Diamond, Esper Sentinel, and Wishclaw in hand, so I sacrificed those three plus the two I had with Wishclaw tutor on the stack for a Touch the Spirit Realm to get another turn without the dress down and Touch + combat on that turn was enough artifacts to kill Shorikai and Blue Farm. As for our Semis pod, fun fact. I got the Vanishing Verse off the Lim-Dul's I fired off on the end of Stella's turn. Me threatening to shoot it on Stella's end step was a bluff to try and get you to do the same hand reveal deal so I'd have more information. It wasn't in my hand until I drew for turn. Dalton tapped the Ring in my upkeep before I got to draw my answer for Sphinx so I literally could not stop you from drawing 6 on my turn. I knew I was safe to clone/shoot sphinx since you showed me your hand before you got a fresh hand off the one ring tap, but post One Ring I didn't think I was going to be able to push through the VV on my own turn. I saw the Gilded Drake into steal Sphinx line, I didn't go for it because I was afraid of getting Spellskited just like Dalton's attempt. I didn't fire off the Vanishing Verse on my turn because my only way to back it up was Force of Negation, which is only free on your turn but I needed at least one more draw to get blue cards to pitch. I just assumed nobody else had any responses since they had been doing nothing. I didn't know your list well enough but what I should have done was either just fire off the VV after my first set of draws and hope you didn't get enough interaction or just said fuck it, not VV'd and bank of the fact that I run more interaction then you do and been as greedy as possible and just not stopped the draw chain drawing as much of my deck until you stopped. Overall I got absolutely fucked by Dalton's attempt to force me to answer Sphinx by using ring in my upkeep. Overall great tournament and was an absolute pleasure playing with you both. Hope I get to jam games with Dylan next time too.

Zurgo ojutai is such a underated commander. I have dragons deck lead by him. getting to dig 9-18 card a turn just out grinds other deck.

49:31 - Tyler's "No you don't" hahahaha, so good.

I like it when Tyler is part of the videos, this is a good one. Makes me want to fly out and play!

The editing on this vid is soo good!

It was the tallion player that won the round 5 with dylan. He just drew all the answers to everything

5 seconds in, yall r just the best. definitely picking up a playmat

37:46 this is a game to you? this is my life! LMAO me too Cam, me too

Seeing that Battered Golem hit the table was bananas haha

its music to my ears to hear you guys talk about ZJ! I play a ton of Zj and that with Roaming Throne out is just ball busting. Even crazier when you add in double strike, hand sculpting with a chefs kiss!

Good stuff! ❤❤❤

40:00 the card/game mechanic you're thinking of is mindbreak trap lol. As always thx for the absorbable content, y'all the best.👍

When will we get some top cut footage of these tables, i gotta see these conversations go off in real time

Have you guys ever done a podcast regarding casual/higher power casual edh games? If not I'd love like a "What makes a deck casual/higher power/CEDH" kinda video. Y'all rock btw.

Round 3 Tasigur player here, all I can say is, I had to do it to em'. The silence was unfortunate for me. The fallout from the Defense Grid was arguable more unfortunate. Haha GG

i cracked up when they were talking about defense grid :D

1:05:02 This is why I have started putting homeward path in every deck that’s 2 or less colors. Solely to stop drake stealing an important piece of mine or making someone unable to fight the clear problem

Bro war torn front is in my home town, thats my local game shop. Chia is such a dope dude. Hell yeah bro MANTECA BOYYY. Hearing tyler say that shocked the life out of me LMAO

Playing in my first cEDH tournament tomorrow. It is a small tournament, not as big as yours. Player cap is 48, and there may be 20 players at the event. Still excited to play though. I am taking Malcolm/Vial Smasher.

War Torn is a great shop! Shout outs

Love the ComedIan MTG style format & content. Y'all should get together sometime!! 🧐

Does anyone know if I can watch some of the games somewhere, or was it all in person only? Great video! Very fun to hear what happened in each game :D

You guys fucking rule for the "Gay to Win" merch. I'm just an ally and I reallllyyy appreciate it. Another reason why you're my favorite cEDH channel

The atraxa player saying they may be finding a way to get sphinx into play. And me as an atraxa player have thought about it alot as well. If you fall short of getting atraxa out turn 3 or 4 it could be a very great way to revitalize tour hand and hopefully get you into some interaction. Atraxa feels way more explosive compared to tnt, but tnt feels more police to me. But I've been debating adding sphinx just because there so much card draw.

Does all the merch in the store go toward the donations or only the gay to win merch??

I’m curious, what don’t you like about tivit?

Played with Tyler at WTF. Still angry at that Void Winnower flip!!! Fun game nonetheless!

I'm curious why a win in the tournament was 4 points instead of 5 like a lot of other tournaments? I always wondered why 5 was the common number people picked so i am glad to see not everyone does that!

Are the decklists posted anywhere?

If you'd like a recap of the finals table in more detail, we have it reported in our Magda Discord! :)

Has anyone done any research about what Jefe has the highest win rate at slot 4?

Question why does no one play korvold anymore

@Tyler what is the other deck/commander you are referring to at the start of the video when answering what deck you played?

Where is the cloud city games located at in stroudsburg whenever I look up cloud city game it’s always in other city

Love these videos ❤

I have been a fan since episode 1. I love this group!!!!! However I need Dylan to get a top 16 because I feel he deserves it.

Dylan with the "Don't talk to the police" stance on politics haha

Y’all’s videos are so helpful for someone who’s currently playing more high-optimized levels of casual, slowly progressing up to cEDH as I learn more about the format. You guys are so knowledgeable and your play patterns really help me learn how to control the tide of games. Thank you for that. Keep Playing to Win, peeps!

36:50 Defense Grid won me alot of games, and it's mainly "that card" that you use specifically because you can't play counterspells. And making it a generic "Tithe Taker" but opponents pay 3 instead of 1 would be interesting, i feel it would have to be an artifact creature and WotC would probably make it only 2 tax and require white mana which defeats the purpose of why Defense Grid is played. However, There's Wandering Archaic but hardly anyone plays it because it's five CMC. 1:11:40 can we all agree that Competitive Commander is an oxymoron? it's meant to be a casual format, and it's difficult to "be number one" when you have three or four opponents.

Tyler calling out Dihada, are you interested in the deck or do you make fun of it? Hope for the first one, i am watching you. ;) We have a great community, join our Mardu Mission

1:10:38 He can't keep getting away with it!!!

As someone who has mostly played turbo decks for cedh, I think defense grid overplayed. From my experience it's only good if you aren't playing blue yourself e.g krik and korvold.

West Coast here- really sad I couldn't make it. Especially considering I used to live 30 min away from this venue! However this is a great report! Looking forward to more.

OMG if its the same Squidward that i know, i love that name followed him. Love you Brian.❤ Lolol

Can anyone link the Zurgo Ojutai decklist? (Not on the link in the description 😢)

Femboy Farm is actually insane LOL

Round 4 Malcolm/Kediss Player here! It was a really tough decision to let Dylan get that Culling Ritual to resolve. His other card in hand was a revealed Metamorph which he used to copy Zurgo. Zurgo would’ve kept Roaming Throne and Zurgo after the Rit and Dylan would’ve had a Zurgo and two other cards and 11 mana. It was tough because it totally would’ve knocked me out of the game and the Zurgo with Roaming Throne was scary, but I had to Play to Win so I decided I needed my mana to proceed……I still think it was the right move..? What do you think?

Stroudsburg!? I grew up there! 🤯

oh wow! Kenrith beats Bowmasters!! nice play!!

1000th day of asking for tymna/kraum

Where can one find out the next tournament and sign up?👀👀

Another cool video.

excited to see sisay on the channel!

W INCLUSIVITY

I love the content I just wish Tyler's audio quality was on par with yours

wait which one of u is gay to win? i hope its the cute one

Best deck lists

No draws. Play the game. Play to Win.

Gay to Win playmats! Let's GO!!!!!

I really enjoy hearing about the decks you are more familar with than taking something random for spice or to churn the content wheel. Being able to comment on specific moments and interactions bred from familiarity are a extremely interesting

Pumped for the Gay To Win merch!

This definitely makes me feel good about Magda and Kinnan being two CEDH decks that I am actively working on completing without proxies. I love hearing the groups experiences in tournaments and each individual game!

How do y’all feel about “molten duplication” in Magda?

Can someone explain Tyler's 4th round win to me. I get he sacs cephalid coliseum repeatedly making his opponents draw and then returns his graveyard back to his library with endurance. But he needs to kill endurance repeatedly for this. So how is he doing that.

Funny to watch your hairlines receding

Where can you get that sweet Ogre Head Helm toy????!!!

Tyler's game two is what i hate about Cedh , it seems to be a thing more and more , get multiple people together who just go hur dur lets draw it out so we can do better in the long run instead of actually playing the game....... kinda kills the spirit of the game ... why play a competitive format if you are just gonna flop or purpose .....

Help! I bought a playmat, but it auto added a shipping address that isn’t current… what can I do :(

Considering the drawing conversations it doesn't sound like a legit competitive tournament.

Big points for the Magnus reference #goat

The Malcom/Kediss player is indeed "Luke" a buddy of mine from 95 Gamcecenter in DE. I apologize to Dylan for Luke's behavior towards you when playing Atraxa as that's my cEDH deck I play all the time so he knows all the faults in my lines and when to interact. He's a great player and is really good at politics, trust me on that. Thanks for the great video guys!

GAY TO WIN PLAYMAT LETS GOOOOO

Not gonna lie, I really don't like agreeing to draws, particularly in Round 2. It's far from a big deal, but I think you go to a tournament to play.

Why is a win 4 points? A win in a normal non-edh tournament is only 3. For the first like half of the cast they keep saying locked with nine points which was very confusing

Come to New Zealand and we'll play Cedh on a volcano

I don’t think I will ever understand agreeing to draw. It just doesn’t feel sportsmen like and feels like cheating. I just have at play to win mentality

Small thing but really good to donate to both local and national charities!!

Big fan of cons sphinx and nezahal, they are in my Malcolm Kediss deck since that makes an absurd amound of mana. Card draw at all costs... even 7 mana

You guys should get squidward on the chanel

One more Stella game please

Lots of Ishai. Seems like Ishai is a bit better in midrange hell.

Magda has been lowkey ripping it up this whole year. The key is to not fall for the dragons line. Also, Mycosynth Lattice, Vandalblast and Karn are great in this deck.

I mean this in the nicest way possible but Tyler is one of those guys who you should never listen to at the EDH table.

I personally don't believe you should be able to choose to draw. "If you're not first, You're last" - Ricky Bobby

Here’s the thing, you might have needed fewer points if your lgs refused forced draws.
