Unlike other Magic the Gathering online software, Cockatrice allows users to save replays of their games. This is tremendously helpful not only to help test everybody's decks, but also to provide detailed game reports. Although it is rare to find a true casual Commander game on Cockatrice, they can happen sometimes, like the one that I'm about to report you today. This is a very detailed report about an amazing game that I had last night playing with Vela the Night-Clad as my commander. Feel free to comment what you thought about this game, or if you would have made a different decision at any time.

Vela: draws Scythe Specter, plays Island. Now with access to ten mana, I set my scheme in motion. Nighteyes animates Dark Hatchling, targeting Seedborn Muse, Dire Undercurrents targets Angus, discarding Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar. Nighteyes targets Seedborn Muse. You can see where this is going...
Lazav: casts himself, casts Mind Sculpt on Angus, milling Island, Propaganda, Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer, Forest, Graypelt Refuge, Angel of Glory's Rise and Swiftfoot Boots.

Angus: casts Myojin of Seeing Winds.

Turn 14
Vela: make a token (32), mill Mistblade Shinobi, target Lazav with Dire Undercurrents, discarding Island. Draw Sudden Spoiling. I start doing math and realize I can win on this turn, so here it goes. Target Myojin with Crystal Shard (Angus can't pay), he responds by drawing 10 cards, animate Creeping Tar Pit, attack Angus with everything, he blocks Vela with himself (21). Geth reanimates Sygg and mills Augury Owl and Solemn Simulacrum. Cast Notorious Throng for its prowl cost (Bitterblossom makes faerie rogues ), making eight tokens.

Extra turn
Make a token (31), mill Bojuka Bog, attack Angus with Specter and Vela (13), and Lazav with all the tokens (11). Cast Kederekt Leviathan (he has been lying in my hand since the beginning of the game), bouncing everything. Vela triggers 13 times, enough to win the game.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think this game ended in a draw as soon as that guy attacked Angus. You said there was a Stuffy Doll naming Angus and Angus put Pariah on it... that means whenever damage is dealt to the doll OR the player, the doll infinitely damages itself with no way to break the loop, ending the game in a draw.

That would have happened if the named player and the controller of Pariah were the same person. In this case, Lazav tried to damage Angus, but the damage was redirected to Stuffy Doll thanks to Pariah. Stuffy Doll's ability then triggered, damaging Lazav instead. If, however, Stuffy Doll has been naming Angus, the triggered ability would have dealt damage to Angus, which would have been redirected to Stuffy Doll again by Pariah, resulting in an infinite loop

Maluko, I believe this is what Sid is referring to. I believe it is just a mistype, but obviously if the above did happen then Sid is correct about the infinite loop.

My apologies! It is corrected now.
