Longtime Mairsil player here- I love seeing other players enjoying what may be one of the most unique commanders in the game! It was rough seeing the misplay on the Tainted Pact, though! If Ant didn't have access to a lot of the cards that he mistakenly put in his hand and then discarded, the game could have gone very differently. Torrent of Hailfire is an interesting wincon for Mairsil. I'm not currently running it in my list because once you get the "Lotus, Quicksilver, Staff" combo you can just gain infinite life and draw an arbitrarily large amount of cards, letting you grab pretty much any wincon you want from your deck. I like running wincons that I can cage from the graveyard because I run a lot of loot/rummage/personal wheel effects and having to pitch a Torrent in the early game feels really bad. Caging the Staff first was a very gutsy move! Ant had the Riptide Laboratory out but it's a pretty mana-intensive way to bounce Mairsil, which definitely feels slow in the early game. SoD is one of those cards that freaks people out when it gets caged, even if you can't do anything degenerate with it yet. I'm surprised he didn't try to find something like Aetherling before initially casting Mairsil. Another thought- near the beginning of the game, as Christian was resolving a Light-Paws trigger, Wally said he would cast PtE in response on Light-Paws if he searched for an enchantment that gave Light-Paws protection. This unfortunately does not work because Light-Paws puts the enchantment onto the battlefield on resolution of his ability. Once the search begins, no player gains priority until the enchantment is already on the battlefield. If Christian chose an enchantment that gave Light-Paws protection/hexproof, it would be too late to cast anything targeting him. The only time to remove Light-Paws before he gets a protection enchantment is prior to the resolution of his ability (I learned this lesson the hard way playing against Zur the Enchanter).

When Tom uses the counter to stop the Spit Flame, he wouldn't of had the treasure made from Storm Kiln Artist just yet, so he couldn't have countered. That trigger was still on the stack before it resolved.

I have been waiting so long!!! Lol so ready for a new episode!!!

mairsil is by far and away my favorite commander! it's so rare to actually see any videos on him.

another great episode. So much going on. So many threats.

24:35 Mairsil couldn't have targeted Light Paws, due to the protection from creatures. Would have had to be done in response to the targeting of the enchantment.

Good game guys!!! Way to go Ant you hung in there for the win!!!

Aaaaaand breath ! What an ending - and go on Ant ! My Mairsil was an absolute scourge ... May have to rebuild it ... 😈

Well done Wally!!! You knew where that Nevinyyrals disc was!!!

36:52 He wouldn't have the treasure, as the next in stack was the kill spell, targeting Mairsil. Wouldn't have the mana to cast counterspell. (Storm-Kiln treasure would still be on stack to enter)

I’ve been watching you guys for a while and really appreciate the clean nature of the show and just the laughs involved. Thanks and keep it up!

I agree Wally THAT is a DANGEROUS friendship!!! The prince of politics and The Threat!!!

I love playing Myrrim. So fun

Mairsil is so fun ! Love the match !

Ooh a bit of light paws ❤

41:28 You don't draw the card first, it's on the stack.

Miirym is one of my favorite dragons can’t wait to see what happens!!!

Great game but if I might offer perhaps one technical suggestion on the editing front - switching from the end of the game to the post game table talk you run the entire chad magic logo clip which is 5 seconds. Given that we know the video is over it’s an opportunity for the viewer to leave for the next video without hearing about your giveaway and Patreon. Maybe an abridged version, or a shorter one second transition might help retain viewers? Just a thought. Love the channel

Wally that was a nice try getting rid of light paws!!! I guess I know where the salt is to start!!! Y’all I forgot to warn you…Christian is the threat!!! If Christian wins is it my fault???🤣🤣🤣

Can someone explain what Ant is doing when he resolves Tainted Pact around the 31 minute mark? Why does he say that he’s “going to choose anger”?

The prince has my vote to win!!! Let’s go!!!

Wally, where did you get those beautiful Van Gogh sleeves from? :)

at 11.50 the aura should still come into play right? and he should still get the scrys and stuff

You're saying I'll get big and beefy if I become a patreon?! BRB....

Tom Verix makes a token that would have haste…right???

Could we get the Miirym Decklist?

Christian you’re building Voltron, Ant is making a Superman…actually he’s kinda more like Rogue…maybe not quite like her either

Lots of salt!!! Always lots of salt!!!🤣🤣🤣

Also...Christians super cute...just discovered this channel :)

5:53 if he had given It protection, you would not have been able to respond at that point because the aura he is searching for goes straight to the battlefield attached to her. You have to respond as the first aura is cast targeting lightpaws

Love your games, but I hardly ever watch them because the MUSIC IS TOO LOUD and OBNOXIOUS! Kind of like using all caps on a comment
