Commander Clash S7 E2: Commander 2019! (Anje vs. Atla vs. Greven vs. Kadena)
Welcome back to Commander Clash! Commander 2019 arrived in between seasons of Commander Clash, and since the set is (unsurprisingly) FULL of sweet Commander stuff, we decided to go back and explore C19 in two episodes! Here's what we've got for the first episode:
- Andrew just wants to give hugs -- deadly, card drawing hugs -- with the misunderstood but lovable hero, Greven, Predator Captain
- Crim fills his board with mysterious face-down creatures, which may or may not be the perfect answer at any given time, fueled by Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer
- Seth has to crack some Eggs to make a game-ending omelette, whisking them for value with chef Atla Palani, Nest Tender
- Tomer copy/pastes his $20 Merciless Rage upgrade deck, looking to combo out with Anje Falkenrath
Stranger danger hugs and fresh eggs, what more could you want? Let's see how it pans out! But first, a quick reminder: if you like Commander Clash and other video content here on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel to keep up with the latest and greatest.

Post-Game Thoughts
I really disappointed myself this game. I could've very easily won turn 6 if I just cast Final Parting, putting Worldgorger Dragon in my graveyard and either Animate Dead or Necromancy in my hand to perform the Worldgorger Combo: target Worldgorger Dragon with Animate Dead, Dragon exiles all other permanents, Dragon is sacrificed when Animate is exiled, all permanents return to the battlefield and Animate comes back animating Dragon to repeat the cycle. That would've been infinite mana by floating mana from my lands and I even had a finisher on the battlefield with Stensia Bloodhall. Unless Crim or Andrew had instant speed removal to stop my loop, my win was all but assured. Unfortunately, I goofed and discarded Final Parting.
I'm sorry about that. I'll try to playtest decks at least once before recording with them so I get familiar with the cards. That will help me pilot the deck far better.
Next Week: More Commander 2019!
There's a lot more sweet commanders from C19 to cover so we're doing one more episode with them. Seth wasn't able to make the recording, but I'm excited to announce a returning player we haven't seen in a long time: Jennifer aka Mrs. Mulligan will be joining us for it! Next week!
