Welcome to episode three of 'Let's play Leviathan', a 1v1 commander format with 30 starting life, a unique ban list and the option to swap commanders between best of three matches.

We will be recording brief explanations of the decks going forward. In this video, Samut and Tiamat both have similar goals - ramp hard into aggressive beaters.

If you would like to be made into a streetfighter character and featured in the opening character select screen of the next video, subscribe to the channel and like and comment who you think will win the next match between Alibou, Ancient Witness (Boros Artifacts) and Grolnok, the Omnivore (Simic Self Mill). I'll put those names in a 'big hat' and one person will be chosen!

We've taken 32 of our personal Magic: The Gathering EDH brews and had them randomly sorted into a single elimination bracket tournament style system (think Wimbledon but with way more dragons). And to make it more personal and high-stakes, we're married - magic content that could end in a divorce - how could you pass that up? All the frustration, misplays and dismay at the horrible cards we sometimes play have been left in - we aren't experts, we just love magic! All authentic and all fun!

Check my community posts and the end of this video to see the full roster and the matches that each deck have been sorted into. Each match is best of three and even if a deck takes the first two games (and therefore wins), we will play a third just for fun. Deck lists cannot change between rounds.

This is a summer of Magic: The Gathering gameplay on the channel - subscribe and hit the notification bell for the rest of this series and four player content coming soon! We will be going live with some of the matches in this series and hosting a live deck building session for two of the decks so you can contribute and see your suggestions in action.

Like off the wall deck techs? I have plenty! Enjoy the selection, including Eriette of the Charmed Apple from WIlds of Eldraine and Anikthea, Hand of Erebos from Commander Masters.

Also, Magic is hard and even harder when you are monitoring cameras and soothing dogs that want walkies and belly rubs - be kind!

Thank you for stopping by and a huge thank you to everyone who has hit subscribe so far.
