Thanks Hello and welcome back to maintenance, this time it's fun, we're all playing our

favorite

deck, so let's go ahead and jump right into the deck text, that's enough introduction for this week. I'm playing

muldrotha

the great tide. some of my

favorite

things a lot of cards Advantage your graveyard basically becomes your hand and then you get some recursion a lot of fun stuff it's a bit Jank but it's fun let's jump into it hey guys it's Tommy this week playing ishin two Heavens like The only one is that it essentially doubles the attack triggers, so chaos can ensue, so let's hope that's the case.

Hey everyone Jason, back for another game, today I'll be playing my favorite deck, the least reverent medium, for the entire objective. this deck just goes with tokens, I make as many tokens as I can and just punch people in the face, there are some fun combos, let's see if I can get them out, who knows, I'll try my best, what happens? I'm Steven. I'm playing twin casters Ajax and Nev. Basically, I took the free strix haven scam with aatrix and Nev, who is the

commander

itself, and made a lot of additions to it, creating a bunch of tokens, that's really it. creating a bunch of chips hopefully I'll beat Steven when you're ready, start with us, okay, let go, come back, I'll play uh ma Swartz bridge for my land and intercept.

I feel taken advantage of when he enters the battlefield, he looks at the top four cards. from my library Exile one face down and put the rest at the bottom of your library. I can pay a green and tap it and I can play the exiled card without paying its Mana cost. If the creatures I control have full boosted attack, I'll pass higher. in the forest and I'll pass why we're on ooble talking Wilds evolving uh, tap and take it out and I'll go look for planes uh and then I'll pass, okay, I'll withdraw the return, I'll play in this Godless Sanctuary, I'll pay to life. so it comes in untapped and I'll tap for a white one and I'll cast Johnny's Welcome every time a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you gain one life beyond Houston, okay, tap, you can ask why it took me so long time to find a plane because I want the common God before because those lanes are very beautiful.

Play command tower for my life. Look how beautiful it is. They also have to play Simone Quadrick's Prodigy. One of two human wizards. They can pay for one without a cover and touch Simone. You can put a land card. the battlefield handle City four colorless tap it tap it to draw a card if you control eight or more lands draw two cards instead quick spin Simone that's that thing Michael Jackson used to say true I want to play in a swamp and then for two I want to play an Arcane Signet I'll spend the turn not allowed to remove it oh well no, it's not like that, it wasn't turn one so it's allowed to play oh, that's fair, yes, if I turn an Arcane Signet soul ring yes, that's good, that's very Italy, that would be killing Morgan first, yeah, that's killing on the spot right there, tribal game flashback, playing a mountain, I'll pass, okay, I'll play with these planes, I'll touch one and place. over it and then I'll just pass the turn this even looks suspicious it's black white what could I do at instant speed play an island for my land per turn I'll pay three to play kashmina Enigma Sage among us playing soccer control has the Cash loyalty skills Mina I'm going to go ahead and plus two catch me now describe one um Morgan take one thing now it's the cashier oh I should read the other bills he's the best well I was just going to ask before that.

I was going to ask if all the other Planeswalkers have these abilities and I have their abilities, also, yes, each one, yes, playing the conversationalists that you control has so much crying, it's a lot of scribing, it's a lot of crying once it's less, so has a minus X. create a zero zero green and blue fractal creature token, put that card and then shuffle you can drop that card with the one that's going to cost well so for two and a blue I'm going to conjure up the Mold Wanderer so I'm going to drop two cards and then sacrifice him and he's such a fish. happy, it's a happy fish and then it's dead, it's a dead and heavy fish.

I'll go ahead and touch on another little swamp that's a weird looking swamp for a second, yeah, go ahead, that's a good rewind, I didn't have to do it in the post, there you go. I'm going to play a swamp and then white, red and black, take out the friend, each one to the skies, it's one, three, four, uh, if an attacking creature would cause a permanent eye check triggered ability to activate, that ability triggers an additional time. I'll pass you on like I said that, like Trisha was talking now, straighten up, keep going. drop I'm going to play these planes as my land for the turn and then I'll have one black, one white and three and I'll cast my

commander

Happy River in the middle at the start of each end step, I'll create X11 white Spirit creature tokens with flight. where I'm going to play in a forest to get my lamp back.

Also, I will add two kashmina. describe one pay three to play hornet nest zero two Defender every time one and S take damage create as many one green insect creature tokens with flying and death touch uh I'll pass the turn okay for blue and one let's cast planning strategic I look at the top three cards in my library, put one of them in my hand and the rest in my graveyard. I'll put that one in my hand. I'm ruling out a stinky wood imp and a themed craftsman, let's go ahead and play an island when my land returns and then for the blue and green I'm going to cast a root spiral vine, it's a 2-2 I can play for a man of any color, tap it to add two men of any color to cast spells. for my graveyard or as something else they will never do go ahead and pass well Mountains for a white tie and a black one the Drinker two a vampire with a LifeLink and extort every time I cast a spell I can pay a white or a black if Each opponent loses one life and I gain that amount of life.

I will pass and straighten. So I'm going to play the soul ring for two and then I'm going to play this plane and this plane for a total of four. I'll play. happy our Retreat lands whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control choose one create a white cat beast creature token 2-2 or put a one plus one plus one counter on each creature you control those creatures will gain vigilance until the end of turn. play swamp, that's my comeback that will trigger Companion Retreat. I'm going to choose to create a white cat 2-2 beast creature token here's a little cat, this token says it's one with LifeLink but it's not, so it's just a tutu I'll play these two and play paradise ornithopter, nice, um and then I'll move on to my final step and my commander will activate and I made a token this turn so I'll make a white spirit creature token with flying and when these three creatures enter the battlefield, a welcome play from Johnny, I you've given one life per creature, one, two, three, he's up, starting, make it happen to you, Stephen, no, that's fair, that's fair, Tommy, draw in turn, play forest as my long turn , I will go. go ahead and pay to cast my commander adrickson Nev twin casters 2-2 mage mage with ward two if one or more tokens were created under your control double those tokens are created instead then I will go ahead and minus five cash Mina and I will create is zero zero blue fractal creature token power resistance is five I end up creating two of them because of Atrix and Nev this is how much I have two of them this is their buff resistance five yeah okay the token

decks

are tokenizing watch out, they're tokenizing, they're tokenizing, okay, we'll play in a forest and then for one, two, three, four, five, six, we'll draw Mama mold rotha or six six during, during each of my turns, I can play a land. or has one permanent spell of each permanent type from my graveyard, then let's go ahead and add touch root spiral vine to add black to my mana pool to cast demonic art from my graveyard.

He is one who gets plus one. plus one for each creature in my graveyard and then he can also pay time. It could activate a spell. I currently have two creatures in my graveyard so it's a 3-3 and I'll go ahead and pass the turn okay play a swamp and then four five we'll play a mardu a Rough Rider five four when it attacks Target creature can't block this shift pass. Hopefully this plane will be my lane for the turn that will trigger the felodar recall. I'll choose to make another 2-2 cat which will trigger Johnny's welcome and I'll gain a life.

I don't really have much to do right now, so I'm just going to hold my defenses and hand you over to Steven at the beginning of my final step, my commander will activate. I made a token this turn, so I'll make another one. A white Spirit creature token with flight that will also activate Johnny's welcome and I'll gain another life, okay and I'll leave a turn. I'll play Botanical Sanctuary when my long turn enters the battlefield tapped. Now I have creatures with total power 10. or more, so I'll pay a green which is at most what I bridge and play comma six six the spell can't be countered at the beginning of each

upkeep

creates a 3-3 blue snake creature token called Coleman's spiral sacrifices another snake chooses a permanent top target its build activated this cannot be activated this turn or eat as antidestructible until the end of the turn Barrel up Tick cash Mana up plus two two squares one keeps it on top is good, I mean, isn't there just space? in town for a token player, listen, I welcome you, why are you trying to start things?

Morgan, why are you a friend instigator? Hello, I'm just commenting. I'm going to attack Tommy with one of my five five fractals. I'm going to attack Jason with the other five, five fractals, well, I'll take the five, um, I'll throw one of my two, two cats, in front of him, okay, that's it for me, I passed the turn and then, in my maintenance, oh believe, I mean, and stuff like that, yeah. no, it's in uh each of oh in each player a few yeah, I don't have the real things uh you want to make one quickly yeah you can make your own little circle to make my own cute little snake so instead of pulling out my card to turn, I'm going to use the stinking wood amplifier to dredge five one two three four five okay and the amplifier will go into my hand uh now, how many creatures do you have in your graveyard?

Good question three four four so it's a four four. I am a snake, one, two, three, four. Let's launch a second creature, a greater good. Draw cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power and then discard three cards to flood a green root spiral vine. I'll sacrifice it to the greater good and when I can draw two cards and then discard three cards, one two, that will generate a boom and then we'll discard three cards, we'll go to Stingwood m Hammer, we'll draw the promised final growth, so we'll have six. on the creatures in my graveyard, so four seven seven for a black Stephen.

I'm going to give him point minus six minus six until the end of the turn and if he dies, he goes into exile. Yeah, bye, I mean, later, nerd, why what's up? you, because the terrifying coma of the coma takes over the games, it's not that the coma is one of the best simic creatures to have been printed in recent years, oh wait, it's, oh wait, my bad and then, With that green one floating and one more, let's launch. Hermit Druid It's a wonderful green and tap it to reveal a card from the top of my library until I hit a basic land, the basic goes into my hand and the rest of those cars go into my graveyard, how many basics do you have in there? ?

Honestly, I think I have a decent amount of 12. Oh, okay, but I mean I currently only have the basics in play somehow. I don't know how it worked, but Stephen, to make up for it if I give you a little swing. I give you a bunch of flyers Flyers with desks, won't you send them to me? I guess it's okay Stephen, I want to hit you with my seven seven, I want to swim with Muldrota, no I guess not, it's just me. I'm legitimately not, I'm going to play the coward here, so yeah, I'm just going to swing, block the wasp nest, uh, uh, so one of us will die and then I'll create seven of the insect creature tokens with wine, technically good. 14. oh right, because because because ultratha also lets me play a land, so I'll play an island for my graveyard.

I'll go ahead and pass the turn. Okay, a lot of things happened there and now I'm scared. Many things happened. Steven has a scary board state, but he's okay, even okay, yeah, anyway, for three uh, foreboding statue, there's an artifact creature one or two. I can tap it to add one mana from any counter and put an Omen counter on the Foreboding Statue and at the beginning of my final step if there are three or more Omen counters on it.the foreboding statue untap it and then I will transform it I will write this for a target and another target um do you hear something on guard pick one I can wake up the creatures in the party I control get plus one plus one until the end of the turn or I can make this spell do five damage to target attacking creature because I'm casting it now, guess which one I'm going to choose?

All my creatures have plus one plus one until the end of the turn. I'm going to hit Morgan with Marty Rough Rider and when I attack the target creature can't block this turn, that will trigger twice due to each end so neither of them can block this turn. I'll also attack with the drinker of the tithe, well, unfortunately I can't do anything about it, so I'll just take nine cool, so I'll gain three life from the Thai LifeLink drinker and then put in an omen counter. in um before voting statue and then it could disappear. I'm going to use a black D6 just because you know the elements and then, yeah, pass the turn, okay.

I will play this shattered shrine. Enter untapped because I control two or more others. The lands that are going to be activated fell in our Retiro. I'll do another Cat Beast 2-2 and then I'll get a splash light from Johnny for one white and two and I'll cast the eldrazi displacer oh no oh oh sorry, I won. If I write a song, I will play these two points for that, that will also trigger Johnny's welcome in another life. um it's empty, this card has no color and then I can pay two and a colorless to exile another target creature and then return it to the exploited battlefield under its owner's control.

I know I move my InStep and my commander will activate because I made a token. I'll make another white Spirit creature one by one flying and I'll gain another life with Johnny's welcome and uh, then. I'll pass the cool draw for the turn, it's the rhythm of football, Scott, I'll play it while my lamp comes back one, two, three, four, five, six. I'm going to play spawn Kraken six six Kraken every time a kraken levitates, then an octopus or a snake, you control this combat damage. to a player create a creature token nine nine blue that cracks I want more two more two kashmina describe a Tommy I'll attack you with my three three snakes I'll block one of them with ishin um wait, wait, okay, so you're declining blockers yeah , before the damage, I will touch the soul ring and then touch the swamp to the Godless Shrine, the shattered shrine and the Paradise ornithopter one, two, three, four, five, six ps6.

I'm going to activate the eldrazi displacer twice. and I'm going to exile your spirit tokens or your snake tokens, excuse me, you don't have nine nine, sir, disappear into the ether. Pass, thank you, sir. I didn't want him to have a nine nine. I must find answers to Steven's board here. so let's dig in, so to get a green we're going to take advantage of herma druid reveal cards from the top of my library, don't be basic, okay, that's not basic, it's still not basic, okay, We are doing well, we are doing well. thank you getting a lot of value now we're cooking now we're cooking omg oh keep it up son I'm going to burst basically there it is oh my god the swamp is going to my hand this is going to my graveyard we have one two three four or five more creatures going to the graveyard oh okay, so the Artisan demon is now a uh 12 12. like my artifact out of the rotha mold for turn one one for a fallen water stone, it's like an exotic orchard except It's an artifact.

Do I need to get rid of the Kraken? I didn't think I would do it. I mean, it wouldn't hurt either. Get rid of him. I'd rather you get rid of it, but I'll be able to keep it under control. with my eldrosity displacer because every time he attacks I can exile him, yes, but that will probably use up a lot of your involvement. I'd rather you spend your resources looking for a board wipe, so I think it feels like it's being We joined in oh wow oh man, that's it, it's almost like you have the best board for a black.

I'll banish Gastly, destroy target non-black creature, if its toughness is less than or equal to the number of cards in my graveyard. I want you to tell it Morgan it's like showing your work gamma two three four five six seven eight nine can you stop now 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24. Now, I may be wrong, but Steve, allow it. Stephen is six less than how many you said 24. In my experience it's six less than 24 tends to be okay so just making sure it's green I'm going to cast an enchantment for my graveyard it's going to be birdless growth and I'm going to do it . attach it to this island.

I can sacrifice that enchantment to draw a card or this land now. Touches for a man of any color. I only have two more mana, so my pinning is a little bit better because my pinning gets complicated with all these basics, uh my The land from the graveyard in front of Mulderota will be the zagoth trump. I guess for the green and blue we're going to recast the spiral root vine for my graveyard, so we'll go back down. I guess my best bet here is to just get past the turn, go ahead you could have attacked someone else no you need to get knocked down at least two more pegs before how much is like a peg as well as for reference like how much is a pig , a peg would mean yeah, okay, we.

I'm going to play a mountain to turn this for a white encounter. One two three seven tails Mentor when he enters the battlefield or dies. Put a plus one plus one counter on target creature or vehicle I control. I think I'm going to put that. In the Mardu Rough Rider they are going to pay the extortion, do I want it? Yes, I'll pay black for the extortions three yes everyone loses one three two three alien for a cloud change I'm going to uh Cloud change seven tail Mentor so that means I'll exile target creature I control and then return that card to the field. battle under my control so it will just flash so when I enter the battlefield again I will put a plus one plus one counter on the target creature, I think this one I'm going to put Asia to spread a little love and actually already You know what I'm going to take.

I'm going to use a cooldown counter on how I spent my mana instead of thanks. I have two of those. remaining instead of using the black one to cast Seven-Tails Mentor the first time I'm going to use this red one and then I'll use that other black one to activate the extortionist another time Drinking Montage so I'll gain three more lives and everyone will lose one oh you did it okay, okay, okay, okay, pour more sweet 28 anyway, that doesn't help Preston's cock yeah, um, okay, uh, we'll move to combat. The only person I want to hit is Steven and I won't.

That's because he has a billion Death Touches still unlocked. I have four of them too well. I have four children. It's funny how that map works. I think they have five, but the other one is turned because he's a Rock man right now for me. I guess I'll just pass the turn. I will straighten out. I will play these planes as my land for the turn that will trigger my retreat from Felidar. I'll do another 2-2 cat. This will take me away from Johnny's welcome, right? I'm going to tap for two blacks and then one two two three and uh I'm going to choose Gary Gary Gary Gary Gray Merchant hello Gary uh, when I enter the battlefield Bible, we will lose the ex-life where X is my devotion to Black and I will gain one life equal to the life lost this way oh no, it's just that that's not bad, so each player loses three now we will gain nine, which will also be 10 because of Johnny's welcome.

I'll just pass it on to you, Stephen, okay? and at the beginning of my instant my commander will activate. I made a token this turn, so I'm going to make another one, a white Spirit creature token with flying and gain life with Johnny's welcome, okay, get those 10 life back real quick, yeah, one two. three four five six seven oh, I just hit something terrible, it's good, my apologies. I'm going to play Hornet Queen, not Stephen, flying deathtouch when I want to clear it, it's a battlefield, create four, one, one, green, and a second creature token with flying death. touch but that doubles eight I don't even want to be close anymore I'll add two kashmina for shout out I was making fun of kasmina for being a bad Planeswalker but since no one has done anything about it they've given him so much selection yeah yeah and he's pretty close to the alt, yeah, and I don't know how to stop it because I mean, I could have done it already if I hadn't created my freckles because I just don't know how to stop it Morgan, your total life. much lower than the other one, so I'll leave you alone, well, I also gave you 14 ideas, you gave me 14 and six, not that I'll never attack you again, well, no, they're all flying, so I can .

I'm not good at it so I'm not going to make a Vlog for you to see eight eight you six you okay foreigner I don't know what I'm looking for here as far as an answer guys I'm in danger of getting a green. I'm going to play the hermit druid here we go, give me something good that's a big creature that's not basic oh damn that was good yeah okay we only have a 12 12. So this car is going to cost 11 less. cast uh so for a green I'm going to cast goltry for my graveyard it's just a 10 10. just a 10. well it doesn't do anything.

I'm desperate for answers, so I'm actually just going to sacrifice that golden tree. For the greater good, drawing 10 cards instead of discarding three cards is not a bad plan, not a bad idea, not a bad idea, look at it, can you feel yourself, can't you just play it oh no, you can't play it this way? because five six seven eight is going to be milled at the end of the game ten anything good uh discard three cards um I'll just discard a couple of basics in a minute you'll have to Discord discard a lot more than three oh yeah I didn't draw a relic, well, it Sorry, I don't think I have a real aquarium and I'm playing with Jason.

I don't think he can cancel it easily. I'm going to start preparing to protect myself, on the one hand. I want to launch a storm of sirens Tamer. I can pay a blue and sacrifice it to counter a spell or ability that targets me or a creature I control. Oh, this would be good, so I have manafort. Yes, I do it well, so let's go one two. three four five for running seven or, oh God, let's go ahead and subtract three from it, so it'll go down to two loyalty and I'll create a green tree frog.

Hill's token creature dice, you're using this lit guy, yeah, so it's the same. to the number of lands I control, which is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, so it's an eighth eighth with range, okay, so for a green I want to cast Spore frog, I can sacrifice it to avoid the combat damage that would be inflicted by this stupid term. Frost frog, be nice, stinky, I guess just to have something else to do. I guess I'll touch the spiral root vine to release a traveler's bubble for my graveyard. uh, Jason's not willing to give up his entire board and he's still gaining a ton of life, so Jason, I'm going to hit you with my 13-13, okay, one of these two cats is getting knocked down, boy, and then I'll have have to discard two cards.

I will rule out a soul bond ascendant and discard it. Cool forest, are there artifacts specifically artifacts that scare us? There are some that scare us. I don't mean, I think I think the word, I think the worst as an enchantment or artifact on the board, is probably Wafers, no, me. I would say I would say great or good. I mean, he just drew 10 cards and he can do it next turn too. Yeah, remember how many cards they stole from me in the tribal game. Oh no, how many did you get? Oh I do not know.

Divine quantity. there were, yes, there were a lot, there were a lot of cards, at least 15 cards over the course of the game, oh yeah, and if you haven't seen that episode, go watch it, check it out. I will do it to add a colorless color. Mana rises to three ohm encounters. I will have no combat this turn at the beginning of my final step. I can untap three or more Omen counters by touching it, you untap it, and then you transform very quickly with that trigger on the stack. I'm going to tap the soul ring and these planes and with the one called list and then two, I'm going to activate the eldrazi lord screen and I'm going to exile the green version of asvidel and then I'm going to return it to the battlefield tapped under my control and when I come in, each of you will lose three and I will gain nine foreigners and then that will happen well and then this turns into abandoned thresher, the five five that it says at the beginning of my main pre-combat phase, add one mana of any color , okay, and then I will do it, then I will respond on the higher planes of play, this will trigger, it will fill our retreat, I will make another cat, I will gain life thanks to Johnny's welcome, you know, the only thing I'm really going to do.

On this turn, I'm going to tap this whole ring to get two colorless and then I'm going to tap these four planes, so I have four white and two colorless floating with one of the colorless and two of the white. Exile one of your fractal truth tokens, but that's okay and then with the other one I'm going to do the same with the Exiled Asphidel Gray Trader, I'm going to return them to the battlefield and then I'm going to use cell three, that's still three foreigners. one two four five six seven is too much life on my guy, it's a wildlife game and then I'll go to the beginning of my final step, my commander will activate, I'll make another spirit because I made a token and then I'll gain a life. of the welcome ofmulch land draw a card uh well at least we'll give you a hit back, so for black I'm going to sacrifice Bone Shard the solemn to draw a card, uh, destroy the target creature Planeswalker, let's go ahead and hit your commander, It's probably a good idea, the least you did was good.

Come on Morgan, can you steal? You did well, five more cards. No, I can't because I no longer have a pull for Tomorrow. No. I threw it out last turn because I thought I don't need it. I'll play with Robin I'll play all the cards for Mike Raven I can wear that costume the game turns into night oh yeah all the werewolves here so cool oh man I was so close I don't think I can do it that would've been the most legendary play if you could have made it work I guess let's see if I can set myself up to win or survive a turn so let's add a group to create a three three where's that 3-3 pen that touches death? flying, no, because you exiled my graveyard, oh yes, I wonder if it was there for one.

I'll cast Willow, guys, she's a 1-1 trample every time one or more cards come out of my graveyard. I put a 1-1 counter on it, oh man, that would have done it. would have been awesome, would have been awesome, would have been awesome about 10 minutes ago, well, unfortunately, I think that'll be enough for me, so, uh, Tommy's character straight. No, I'm telling you, I'm telling you guys, I'm telling you it's a swamp. listening, it will probably be a swamp telling you whether it is the charm of rakdo or a blasphemous act. I will also take a blasphemous act, come over, give it to me, give it to me. for me, there is no swamp, no or no, I mean, I will play it because it is a blocker.

Chrome Hop light every time it attacks it gets more X plus zero and tells me to turn where X is the number of attacking creatures I control, yes if you can. cast his Commander, yeah, I can't, I don't have mana for that, um, it's a cast of that creature, wow, one touch, oh no, play this swamp, I did that, so I already gave Caster Commander two times. Okay, you win here I think? he wins here, well we'll see it gets pretty close to the 2005 four I guess, and I'm going to play the only card I've had in my hand this entire game, so I'm going to tap for four and I'm going to throw a card too, oh, okay, oh, I'll choose the creatures you control, gain flying vigilance, and hit twice until the end of the turn, oh, that'll do it, yeah, well, and I'll see if I need to hit you. three of these one Spirits with double hit uh flying in surveillance towards you Morgan and then these 13 flyers and you don't even need to swing, you don't even need to swing Gary towards that Morgan.

I'm balancing everything I can. I mean, it's fair enough to swing so that you have three Flyers coming at me, three, one, Flyers with flight surveillance and doubles, so I'll block one of them with my uh eye collector and then I'll have to take the other one, oh, that is flying. everyone has Flyers I'm dead yes and I'm dead I don't have GG good game good game 2-0 thank you all so much for watching this game hope you enjoyed it uh Steven obviously did can you tell me he's having a good time ladies and gentlemen , if I want to give it literally two months, we'll be back next week for the after show, let's talk a little bit about these

decks

, a little bit more, anything we wish we could have done differently with this game, and then I'll be back next week for the game, a week later for another game, see you later, bye.
