@@haydenbennett3547 Yeah I made the mistake of breaking up that deck into a bunch of other themed decks and lost 3/5 of the reprinted Tarkir Dragonlords when I sold some cards.

Man, I love Micheal Rosen. I learned about him from the memes but I then watched all of his original videos on youtube and he is an incredible storyteller.
Always loved his stuff growing up - my parents used to read his stuff to me and I had some of his poetry books. I managed to catch him live one morning at Latitude festival like 5 years or so ago. It was glorious.
Perfect! But I do love the nod to Karl Kopinski and the special extra-grinny way he draws goblins. Honestly a ton of these are commanders I play and I absolutely died at Varina being included as “NO BREATHING!”
@@emilysmith2965 I personally have Aesi, and The Ur Dragon and I can confirm both of the clips are accurate for them lol my gf will smoke a joint by the time I'm done with a turn on Aesi, she doesn't even LET me play with my Ur deck unless my other 4 friends who play Magic are also playing with us lol at least then she has a chance because she can run interference and slow burn me while the others whittle away my defense and her targets. It's almost always a concerted effort to get me out of the game first and as quick as possible when we all play lol.
@@Hemlocker Yeah I'd have to say my Izzet decks take way longer during my turns than Aesi lol. My gf will smoke a joint by the time I'm done with my turn on an izzet deck.
in my experience slow players are always slow as fuck regardless of their deck i've seen some guys play genuinely complicated control decks and aggro decks, and they took like 3-5 minutes per turn with both of them... like bro you had 5 different peoples' turns to contemplate what your next move would be, how the fuck can you study your 3 cards in your hand and take this long @@rhysofsneezingdragon1758
@@Ik-1 Same here! I was a sucker for all things dinosaur since I was but a wee toss of a lad. And building my Gishash deck (which I call "Dino-Genesis") brought my inner child joy. Though honestly my first choice for a commander deck was actually going to be slivers with Sliver Overlord (but I soon learned that deck wasn't exactly budget-friendly). Fortunately after the new Commander Masters came out, a lot of old slivers got reprints and came down in price enough where I felt comfortable making the deck (mind you it was still more than what I usually spend, but not overwhelmingly so). So now I have my "Sliver Evolution" deck (with Sliver Hivelord instead of "Overlord) as well.
What's funny is I have Aesi and it's actually really Good! I call it my cascade deck when I use it, I eventually just have such an overwhelming boardstate it doesn't matter what you do, something will connect. Enough counters to not worry about much either.
Still being new in the MTG space, I can say without a doubt, this is one of the best content created videos I've ever seen that is not actual gameplay, discussion, deck tech or a conspiracy theory.
Please don't think I'm trying to argue it's "better" than this video at all, but some other non-gameplay MTG content on YT that people enjoy is Friday Nights by LoadingReadyRun. You might like it a lot!
@@pedrobettt oh trust me, I know about them as well. Most of their content is now gameplay but they hope to bring back Friday night magic soon. They are my favorite MTG content creators, hands down! Professor and Kenobi are right behind.
i had the pleasure of photographing and meeting micheal a few years back, this was in the early stages of his internet memes so he was quite rightly pretty confused why a mid 20's guy would be so excited to have a photo taken with him aha he was just as lovely and hillarious as you would imagine.
I laughed so hard at Oloro because I've build a white/black vampire commander around him and I NEVER play him, he's literally stuck in his chair. I just use the passive lifegain effect.
There’s oil in my mouth is too on point 💀 Really hope we get an all colors atraxa or something new. But more than anything, PLEASE GIVE US PHYREXIAN ASHIOK! It’s already been established that they’re interested in the phyrexians, so a compleat version in one of these phyrexian sets
@@Kokonutzlz True, but it seems like others can step up to be praetors/something praetor like, like gix. So maybe Atraxa would get her red from someone else, or develop it on her own. Ub could still get involved somehow I’m sure, but he’s kinda different because he treats completion as an option instead of a requirement
He's only fun if your playing him. I had an aesi deck that I modified into an omnath deck (3 colour one). Suggest him to your friends. Relatively minor deck changes but surprisingly different gameplay!
@@brisingr0962 Thats exactly my point. Landfall is a imo kinda straightforward archetype as is, and aesi does the Job with less nuance than at least a dozen other commanders, in simic or otherwise.
@@uglycheater Depends on the user. How do they often use landfall? Because I can almost tell you, my set up is entirely different since I'm barely in the community and know nothing about deck names. My strategy with Aesi involves getting enough land on the field to pump counters and token creatures, I like long drawn out games and I consider it a waste of time if the duel isn't going at LEAST 4 hrs-6 any longer than 6 though is pushing it. I also have river hopoe in the deck to eventually just pump my life to a ridiculous amount on my turns. I'm currently trying to make a constellations deck revolving around pumping my Heliod the Sun God an insane degree by equipping him with every artifact, aura, and enchantment/artifact creature I have; once I surpass the limit of when heliod loses his indestructible though I have Darksteel Plate in that deck to protect him while still being able to pump him up lol.
This is crazy. I seen this man pop up in countless memes, especially few years ago, but i never watched a single video with him. I had no idea what he sounds / moves like. This was my first exposure
I still think that there is a database of clips where people can type a couple keywords and its finds them. Otherwise, how the HELL do people make these videos???
this was tremendous What was the moaning for Wilhelt? was it bc a lot of the base deck makes you mill, or bc zombies moan and groan? I think he's a pretty fair commander.
I'm so glad "THE SKYFOOGLE" was reserved for the ur-dragon
And somehow its still expensive lol
skyfoogle aside, it is precise in the description: terrifying 😆
@@dragonlordasirlies5520 as someone who has Ur Dragon Commander i can agree that he is indeed scary lol

as an aesi player its boring for the other players. i have a blast lol.

* Compleated?
"Scram Sram" for Light-Paws is so good
I was genuinely hoping Oloro would be "Once you get your bum in that chair" and I was NOT dissapointed. Sitting in chair tribal for the win!
I cannot describe how perfect "why did i stop" is for obeka
to cheat 'at end of turn' effects.
The Zur one is spot on... "COME ON KILL ME!" ... "I don't think I can." However this....ALL THE TIME 2:05
Light-Paws with the "Scram, Sram" made me laugh so hard
That one is too perfect
You can tell who has lost to Kaalia deck with their response to looking at the card
I definitely didn't lose to a "oh my kaalia deck is casual" turn 3 Avacyn turn 4 Armageddon, definitely not
@@SirToastyToes That does sound casual ngl.
Absolutely amazing that you picked a different voice line for every single card AND none of them were about syrup 😁

The Kaalia one makes me so fucking happy as someone who has a deck with her. I can't stop giggling. It's so accurate.

Isn't the reason that Atraxa has no Red is because Urabrask was kicked out, so his voice isn't represented in "The Praetor's Voice"?

„What are you!? Some kind of hippy!?“ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please make more of these, this was hilarious
"MY MOUTH IS FULL OF OIL" got me laughing like hell
Love that all of my playgroup’s favorite commanders were in here.
this was perfect. More please
I humbly request another, this is great
Love to see a part 2.

This is the funniest mtg content I've ever seen. Please make another

The urza bit was WONDERFUL. I don't suppose you'll ask for one of those again... will you? I dont suppose i will...

Another banger from Toasty. Made my morning!
As an Oloro Player, I can confirm that I love sitting on my lifegain chair. It's very comfty.
i've watched it twice now and it cracks me up every time
Take my like. More of these please!
2 of my main commander decks are muldrotha and omnath, and yeah sounds about right...
But aesi was my first commander deck 🥺 that one hurt
Yo, those are my first two commanders
Absolutely fantastic video idea.

I watched Michael Rosen's videos and then clipped the ones I thought fit
1:07 replace with any simic commander for same results
As a Marrow-Gnawer player, this was perfect. Thank you! XD
Rats, rats, we're the rats
bleh.. "MY MOUTH IS FULL OF OIL!" killed me XD
Love the gruul omnath rep!!
An accurate description of every other player when a Tergrid deck sits down.
Me playing tinybones: the clip of Michael screaming "ITS A BAAAABYYYYY"
As soon as he said ‘aw my mouth is full of oil’ an ad with an oil spill popped up
Great job on using clips that people usually don't for these memes.
Thank you for making fun of my oloro deck lol, it’s so strong, and the chair tribal is such a good meme
I will now share this with friends
I've only seen the Michael Rosen videos for Pokemon and I'm glad people are doing other franchises I love too!
haha this was great
"why did I stop"
This was pure gold 😆👌
Gishath omg I love the description :,)
Love this so much
I was worried this would just be a video tier list. I'm so glad I was wrong.
I'm ready to quote these out of context at my pod
1:48 Ahh Tea-Time, best commander around
I kept waiting for the clip of him yelling “GET OUT!” And having it associated with Norin, The Weary
"We never saw 'im again..."
"My mouth is full of oil"
~several Plains
2:04 gives me solace after being insta-killed by the Kaalia/Master of Cruelties combo right before combo-ing off myself.
Sometimes you look at Rosen and just think, "Oh. Those teeth- thoses ears- the beady eyes- He's a human weasel."
PART 2 PLEASE
These are really good.
I just played against Arcades yesterday and that one hit so hard :D
The Zur one got me good dude
Najeela was too on point! Got a good laugh, and playing her CEDH just lets people know she isn't casual... sadly
This is just 🤌 *chefs kiss*
Even tho aesi is accurate, it has a special place in my heart cause it was on of my first commanders
Coming back from your ribbon video, you ought to do a quick Short on gen 9 ribbons and titles
This is the peak of all Micheal Rosen memes.
Would have been funny to have that clip where he goes wild eating chocolate cake for Korvold
2:11 The implication being that you're literally wading through the corpses of dead children.
amazing!!!
now this is content
This is gold
ur-dragon and/or edgar should've ben "i'm going to be so boring", but otherwise this is beautiful
We need another

Very glad Meren of Clan Nel Toth made it in.
Oloro, my beloved.
the sound i made when atraxa came up
3:52
Average mirriodin seconds before disaster
This is so fucking good!
this was tremendous
What was the moaning for Wilhelt? was it bc a lot of the base deck makes you mill, or bc zombies moan and groan? I think he's a pretty fair commander.
