Episode 38 - Nahiri, Mirri and Kemba - Cats and Equipment!

A classic 3 player match with Cats and Equipment! 
We have Nahiri, Mirri and Kemba fighting out for the win.

45 commanders, what is our color identity?

Our collective color identity having 45 different player-commander combinations is starting to become apparent, with a pretty even split over the color pie with the exception of BLACK which is in 64% of each of our decks.

W	U	B	R	G
21	20	28	22	22

Episode 37 - Otrimi, Daretti Scrap Savant, Gavi, & Tana and Tymna

Otrimi, Daretti Scrap Savant, Gavi, & Tana and Tymna

An exciting 3 player effort with Teysa, Meren, & Lord Windgrace! 

This is Teysa's first time on stream - how does she do? Will Meren end her losing streak? Or will Lord Windgrace crush all hope?

Episode 35 - Mizzix, Roon, Gavi, & Kess - "I've brought a knife to a gun fight!"

Episode 35 - Mizzix, Roon, Gavi, & Kess - "I've brought a knife to a gun fight!"

Episode 34 - Atla Palani, Ghave, Estrid, & Teneb!

This one seemed like it would go forever, but all of a sudden, things happened!

Most matches without a win

This is a dubious honour but it appears I have spent the most time playing decks that aren't winning! Meren has had 7 outings and Anje 5 outings each without managing to win a match.  These are still fairly small samples, and I haven't given up for either deck, but it looks like there needs to be some work done.

K'rrik decklist

Make sure you watch Episode 33 first, I also put my decklist of K'rrik (https://archidekt.com/decks/544900#K'rrik) on Archidekt earlier for some comments and suggestions.  I love the way the deck works, but feel like some parts could be improved.  

Episode 33 - Atraxa, K'rrik, Ghave, Yarok, & Kemba

This time we have another quick match featuring Atraxa, K'rrik, Ghave, Yarok, & Kemba!

Looking through the stats for our 32 matches so far, it seems that the biggest match has not yet been played! These 4 decks float to the top in terms of how many decks they've defeated:

Alela has beaten Estrid once, but not played Narset or Roon yet.  Will these decks one day topple
Alela?

Episode 30 - Niv-Mizzet Parun, Meren, Estrid, & Phenax

A good game with Niv-Mizzet Parun, Meren, Estrid, & Phenax playing well together.  Everyone was in a position to win in the next turn at the end.

Is this a new record short game?  Watch how quickly things get out of control with Rosheen, K'rrik, Gisela, & Vorel.

Episode 16 Atla Palani, Oloro, Korvold, Ishai and Reyhan

Big smash up with a lot of shifting action.  Literally anyone could have won this game, up until the last turn.

Atla Palani, Oloro, Korvold, Ishai and Reyhan are the commanders for this battle.

Episode 23 - The Gitrog Monster, Mizzix, & Gisela

Episode 23 sees The Gitrog Monster, Mizzix, & Gisela battle away. How many cards in hand is a good number anyway? How many land drops are allowed in a turn? Is 50 damage in one combat any good?

Upgrading Daretti's win cons

Looking for ideas on making my Daretti deck better. It is more of a fun deck, getting a big field full of artifacts but looking to get it better at closing out games. In recent games this has been a bit tricky: Episode 13, Episode 7.

https://archidekt.com/decks/534159#Daretti

Episode 5a - Alela, Chainer, Ruric Thar, Estrid

A quick version of the "lost" episode with a audio track.  Let me know how this compares to the regular experience!

Episode 15 - Obzedat, Meren, Roon, Ishai and Reyhan

This match sees Obzedat, Meren, Roon, Ishai and Reyhan battle off.

Episode 11 - Rosheen, Oloro, Roon, Ishai and Reyhan

This time we have Rosheen, Oloro, Roon, Ishai and Reyhan An interesting and longer fight than episode 10, but still not too long. 

Who will win between life-gain, X spells, bouncy comes into play shenanigans and massive partner commanders who get bigger and bigger!

Match length in EDH

Having run a fair few EDH games over zoom, its interesting to check the variance in game length.  We've had some mammoth sessions of 4+ hours, and also some quicker sessions with 2-3 games in just a couple of hours.

Longest matches are all around 130 minutes, with 3 matches ending within a couple of minutes of each other.

Shortest match so far is just 19 minutes in Episode 8. 

Average match length is 79 minutes so far.
