<p>Game Knights recently posted <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvyRDmwOeCs&amp;t=125s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a new gameplay video</a>, and EDHREC got in on the action! This match features a staggering ten-person Commander pod, and some of EDHREC's coolest personalities feature prominently in the game.</p>
<p>What were we playing? How did this match go down without being gummed up by its sheer size? And who won? Well, for that last question, you'll have to watch the video on YouTube, but read on for more details!</p>
<h2>EDHREC's Participation</h2>
<p>Three personalities represented EDHREC in a big way during this game:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dana Roach:</strong> Dana used a deck based on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jaheira, Friend of the Forest" href="#" target="_blank">Jaheira, Friend of the Forest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and the black Background <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Agent of the Iron Throne" href="#" target="_blank">Agent of the Iron Throne</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. His strategy leaned on an Aristocrats-style build, looking to drain the board of life with each death that occurred. <a href="https://archidekt.com/decks/21714313/danas_jaheiraagent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can find Dana's deck list here.</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jaheira, Friend of the Forest"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Agent of the Iron Throne"></div></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cas Hinds:</strong> Cas ran a delightfully potent <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Coram, the Undertaker" href="#" target="_blank">Coram, the Undertaker</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck. Coram revels in getting larger and larger creatures into the graveyard to buff his power to astounding degrees. <a href="https://archidekt.com/decks/21714257/cass_coram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can find Cas's list here.</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Coram, the Undertaker"></div></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Joey Schultz:</strong> Joey utilized a deck traditionally run by his mom, which is headed by <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Errant and Giada" href="#" target="_blank">Errant and Giada</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This deck seeks to make value from flying creatures. <a href="https://archidekt.com/decks/21714306/joeys_errant_giada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joey's list (or rather, his mother's) is here.</a></li>
</ul>

<h2>How Game Knights Achieved a Ten-Person Pod</h2>
<p>Normally, managing to wrangle ten people into a Commander pod is difficult enough, much less managing to complete a game like that. However, Game Knights had one twist that could revolutionize the concept of giant games: The Bag of Doom!</p>

<p>The main idea of the Bag of Doom is that it's a means to keep every player actively involved. Each player's name is placed into a bag. One is selected at the end of the fourth turn cycle and at the end of each turn cycle following.</p>
<p>Selected players lose the game; but there is a way out! If life is lost during your turn before the name is randomly selected, your name is removed from the bag until a player loses due to this random selection.</p>
<p>This causes the game to go a lot faster than players may expect, and in this context, allows players to add another political aspect to their game plan. For instance, Rachel Weeks withheld sacrificing a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wooded Foothills" href="#" target="_blank">Wooded Foothills</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> until another player's turn, thereby removing that player from the Bag of Doom.</p>
<p>Shenanigans such as these make the game much more fluid, and exciting to boot!</p>
