I think calling Ajani a sleeper card is one of my favorite unintended puns ever🤣

"There is a downside to all the power the One Ring offers, which is sometimes it kills ya" - Gandalf 13:43

When I saw the notification, I thought it was about playing Chalice for 12, then casting Emrakul and getting the cast trigger while avoiding the leaves play trigger.

Ah, yes Seth 😌 Teach those Arena Zoomers about a card that came out a week and a half ago 😂

In the games where you are trying to find that third land the kozilek's command can still be used for X=0 to dig deeper. 2 mana cantrip isn't great, but stuck on 2 is worse

[L_O_V_E_L_A_I_N]

29:00 If you're missing lands like that you can cast Kozilek's Command with X=0 to scry 0 and draw a card. Not sure it would've been enough to win but it was worth a shot.

"Key to the city? Really important to this deck"

You could say it was a key piece

13:41 If you played Karn, you could’ve grabbed the One Ring out of your sideboard and cast it to not die

[ReyosBlackwood]

9:09 probably on "play 30 black or green spells" so tossing them to chalice still counts

FYI the chance to hit Ugin's Labyrinth off Devourer of Destiny (Assuming you don't already have a labyrinth in hand) is only 27%. Even with two Devourers, which digs seven deep on your first upkeep, the chances are only 44%. Don't keep a hand that only works if your Devourer finds the Labyrinth.

At 44:30 Your opponent could have multiple cards exiled with amulet because they flickered the amulet. Because of this, the game considers it a new object and no new card was exiled with the first amulet.

[corbenmurphy]

13:30 the line is: tap ring, play land, cast Karn, minus for ring, cast ring, pass turn. Im not sure if that buys you enough time, but you had Karn in hand, and conceded when you didnt draw another ring!

[TransformersBoss]

44:23 Amulet exiles the card and lets you play it as long as it’s exiled and you haven’t used amulet a second time. Amulet doesn’t have to still be in play for you to play the card. The opponent flickered Amulet with Phelia, so the exiled card will forever have the “you can play this from exile” rider attached to it, and the “new” amulet can exile another card. Pretty sweet interaction.

Timeless seems like a great format for players who have a lot of money and hate everyone else.

[TheWorldsStage]

"Matzalantli, the Great Door" also works as an instant speed discard effect, also "Phyrexian Scrapyard" instead of "Geier Reach Sanitarium"

[alwaysplaythegame]

Not drawing with kozileks command was brutal in some of these games.

[InsertCleverNameHere]

"So what did we learn this week?"

We learned drawing lands is hard 😅

[johndoe]

MTG Arena, but everytime an opponent attacks you while you have protection from everything like from One Ring, a big "NO" appears instead of any attack animations.

(any attack triggers can still go off, just the animations are replaced)

[Beam_on_team]

48:21 remember you can decline to choose with devourer trigger, so instead of locking yourself into drawing a medium card you can exile all 4 and hope you have what you're looking for on top

Find someone who believes in you as much as Seth believes in Devourer of Destiny finding him an Ugin's Labyrinth.
