After binge watching several of your videos, I am very very happy to see Jeremy win one! It was a well earned win too :) Love these videos, some great decks, giving me ideas for decks to build myself :) Keep them coming!!
58 mins. Perfect! I gotta say the 2hr vids were getting to be a drag. Also welcome back Suarez! Sad seeing Wes go but I'm looking forward to seeing Saurez's decks again!
Aww, Wes always made the coolest decks. I just finished a version of his Odric deck that was tons of fun to watch. That said, this episode was pretty good, so I'm hopeful that the dynamic works!
Tough beats with that exsanguinate Stephen. Still putting up solid points though, props for that. You were playing probably my favorite deck from commander versus history, it's one I've been meaning to build. R/B enchantments is just sweet as hell
Thoughts after watching the introductions: YAY, Jon is back! Gonna miss Wes, but he had quite a showing these past seasons, so it's not that bad. Playing Ruric Thar against Stephen's no-creature deck and a Jeleva? That sounds totally fair. Can't wait to see how it will play out.
So true. I would totally subscribe just for the Commander VS team. They're a lot of fun to watch, but I'm certainly not willing to have my inbox flooded with a billion other Star City videos I don't care about.
They probably won't. We most likely will never know for sure. In the end SCG is a company and giving info on why an employ "Left the company" is usually looked down on maybe illegal (not sure on that) and I'm also pretty sure Wes won't give a reason either.
Not sure if the legalities in the US are similar to those in AUS but if they are there's not really any laws against it unless there was some agreement made. Not a lot of people asking the question to be honest. But usually if it was amicable, even slightly public faces would get some kind of 'we decided to part ways and he's moving on to pursue other opportunities' fluff or something. That would suggest something else occurred? They also definitely glossed over the intro and any tribute to Wes at the start. Doing as little as possible.
please Justin! huge fan here, and it would be freaking awesome to see you my favorite commander Edric spymaster with crap tons of low cost flyers and unblockables. go all out on the budget, show me what to improve on xD
(Choi) If it helps, we only put notifications on a few videos since we also don't want to flood your feed with a ton of videos! (Although you will get notified about Commander VS but hopefully you're okay with that!)
I subscribed. For the most part, it's only a few videos. But now and then someone screw up and i get swarmed with 5 rounds an intro and a deck tech version of the same video... u.u
Rip Wes, but at the same time I still love Commander vs just because of the people still there and that the content is still great. Also, happy that Jeremy won with the sweet Jeleva deck! #teamjeremy
I'm sad Wes is gone. He was the (sometimes) kindest and most (over)eager of them and was a delight to watch even at his saltiest. Also it's a very small thing but it's just nice to see other LGBT players. Goodbye Wes, and may you have fun in whatever future endeavors you do and play good Magic. On the other hand yay Suarez is back! We missed you. I'm sorry you lost with the Norin deck it was one of my favorite you ever did even if it was one of your least Spikey. And good job Jeremy. Really sick beat with the Dualcaster. Still trying to get to know you as a player but for the first time I got an inkling of your personality behind this video. Y'know besides, Ceylon. ;) Stephen your deck is sweet and probably the one I was most interested in building. It's definitely the 'villain' at the table but thats my kind of Commander style and that's my kind of fun. I was rooting for you since this is one of the coolest deck designs I've seen in awhile. All that said now that Wes is gone I am solidly #TeamParnell. Step up your game man, we expect great things! :) I personally hate Ruric Thar strategies but still it was a delight watching you play and I honestly thought you had it a few times. Good job guys! :D
Aw man, I loved the interaction that Wes brought to the videos. It's ok though because Wes said he was just going to the store to pick up some cigs....kinda like my mom said 10 years ago. Still waiting for her to come back too. Why must everyone I love leave me?!
does anyone know where i could find the command zone mat ? its really neat ! I was wondering if star city sells it or if i could find it somewhere else ? if anyone knows please let me know ! :) greatly appreciated !
I know you guys are gonna do it at some point but just checking that you guys will be doing a video on the new monarch mechanic as well as using some of the new legendaries from conspiracy crown.
for the finale I have a deck idea that would be lots of fun for one of them if they like drawing cards there are several core cards in the deck like karn liberated double mana lands the chain veil and Teferi(Planeswalker form) otherwise fill the deck with ramp, removal more Planeswalker, and lots of draw cards(and reliquary tower and the new artifact with the same effect) also the commander is oloro
Very sad to see Wes go, he was a fun dude to watch play. He played Magic with a lot of heart, not always a lot of brains but he will be missed. On the bright side, Suarez was my favorite before and I am stoked Jeremy won a video. Jaleva didn't really go off per se but you played aggressively and smart and I am glad to see you get some points this video.
What if you all played the same commander? Like 4 Nekusar decks or something wacky like that. Thought of this when 2 of the same decks sat down to play at the same table. Probably not the greatest idea, but I think it'd be cool.
I would love to see a tally of the times dust bowl/strip mine has hit the table in these games and never been used to destroy something. Jon was pretty mana screwed so I can't blame him but I've never seen a Gaea's cradle be on the board for that long in my play group.
I wish SCG would give us a heads up on imminent changes in the commander vs cast, we were blindsided by John leaving and now the same with Wes - albeit John is back. Still a shame he's gone but he's left some awesome memories, such as the Arachnogenesis win.
Also just be aware Jeremy, supposedly when you cast Jeleva you can only cast the instants and sorceries that are exiled with her for that particular commander cast, not the ones that were exiled with her from prior casts in the commander game or even if she is flickered .
+Star City Games Oh my apologies , must have missed that, I know when I played her I totally spaced that fact and she lost a lot of that "wow" factor for me. Thanks for the reply , really appreciate it and am impressed!
+COYADD Yea I looked into it and says that the only ones you can cast are the ones that are exiled that particular cast, even though it's the same creature and Jeremy mentioned that they said it in the beginning of the video. She lost a lot of power to me because of it .
Yes that is correct, but each time Jeleva is cast it counts as a new Jeleva. Which is why only the cards exiled the time she is cast can be cast with Jeleva's ability.
I will always be from the #WesSide. I hope he left on good terms and for good reasons. Good luck, Wes! I am jumping ship, though to team #HolyGuacaNoelly. Welcome back, John! #DonJuanSuarez
I would really like to see a video involving the new Conspiracy Take The Crown Legends. he legends I would vote for are Queen Marchesa, Leovold, Adriana, and Grenzo. Selvala, looks like a fun commander as well so i would say throw her in there as well, since there is a bit of a disdain towards mono red decks.
Also did Wes "leave the company" or get fired? Or was it like he either leave the company or get fired? (yeah I know this won't get an answer but wes is one of my favorite people in all of magic)
When Suarez flips a coin for Puppet's Verdict shouldn't he just call heads or tails in the air as opposed to assigning heads to 2 or less and tails to 3 or greater?
Wes leaving was not a very wise move.
lol
Here on my third time rewatching all these. Glad to get back to the A Team.
Hey John, glad to see you back! Best of luck to Wes wherever he went.
After binge watching several of your videos, I am very very happy to see Jeremy win one! It was a well earned win too :) Love these videos, some great decks, giving me ideas for decks to build myself :)
Keep them coming!!
58 mins. Perfect! I gotta say the 2hr vids were getting to be a drag. Also welcome back Suarez! Sad seeing Wes go but I'm looking forward to seeing Saurez's decks again!
Man, I never thought I'd say this, but: I'll miss you, Wes.
leaving a comment three years later because these guys are fun
Wes may not have been the wisest player, but I'm sad that he died.
lol
Thanks for everything Wes, you did a great job.
Aww, Wes always made the coolest decks. I just finished a version of his Odric deck that was tons of fun to watch.
That said, this episode was pretty good, so I'm hopeful that the dynamic works!
John I saw you at SGC Open and sadly didn't say hello, and I'm really glad you're back #TeamSuarez
Interesting how for the revenge episode, everyone is playing red, the color of deep emotion/passion. Flavor win imo.
An it's just because red is bad in edh
OnThePlay MTG Bite your tongue, Prossh would like a word.
Hey John! I was just speaking to you at the new jersey invitational about you re-joining commander vs. Glad to see you back
it's sucks that Wes is gone. he was very entertaining to watch. Welcome back to John. and Stephen, i am very sad that you are a Duke fan. :(
Might as well be sad about both of us then! #GoDuke
awwww. forever #teamsuarez then. got my vote for technicality. Sorry Jeremy, John just has the number.
You lose a point for not casting your Commander, right? I think sometimes you guys forget what game you're playing!
Welcome back John. It is great to have you! Sorry Wes to see you leave.
The amount of sass with which John throws around Norin makes me happy to see him back
Tough beats with that exsanguinate Stephen. Still putting up solid points though, props for that. You were playing probably my favorite deck from commander versus history, it's one I've been meaning to build. R/B enchantments is just sweet as hell
Thoughts after watching the introductions: YAY, Jon is back! Gonna miss Wes, but he had quite a showing these past seasons, so it's not that bad. Playing Ruric Thar against Stephen's no-creature deck and a Jeleva? That sounds totally fair. Can't wait to see how it will play out.
welcome back John! glad to see you back!
being attached to the main channel is probably what is hurting you guys.
So true. I would totally subscribe just for the Commander VS team. They're a lot of fun to watch, but I'm certainly not willing to have my inbox flooded with a billion other Star City videos I don't care about.
They don't put every video in your inbox.
I'd gladly sub to a Commander VS channel. As is I just have to search for this series every week.
They have a playlist with commanders videos, that your can add to yours.
@@StillEternity2 Magic Arcanum had the right idea
Will definitely miss Wes but wish him the best of luck for the future! Hope to see some Magic content from you again one day!
I don't mean to pry, but can you tell us why Wes left the co?
They probably won't.
We most likely will never know for sure. In the end SCG is a company and giving info on why an employ "Left the company" is usually looked down on maybe illegal (not sure on that) and I'm also pretty sure Wes won't give a reason either.
Not sure if the legalities in the US are similar to those in AUS but if they are there's not really any laws against it unless there was some agreement made.

Moved too far away to keep working there with a reasonable commute. Well, I should say his husband got a job that required them to move.
RIP Wes. Cryptic Command will miss you
Such a great episode with my own commander Ruric Thar and with my favorite player Jonathan. Thanks guys.
please Justin! huge fan here, and it would be freaking awesome to see you my favorite commander Edric spymaster with crap tons of low cost flyers and unblockables. go all out on the budget, show me what to improve on xD
What? No Wes? nooo
On a side note Yay Suarez, the pro plays are coming back
no and yes, to both things.
Well miss you Wes but it is good to have you back John.
I would SO subscribe, but I don't want my feed to be swarmed by a bunch of stuff i do not care about. there are over 50 videos for every one of these
(Choi) If it helps, we only put notifications on a few videos since we also don't want to flood your feed with a ton of videos! (Although you will get notified about Commander VS but hopefully you're okay with that!)
I only get like 3-5 videos per week
You say that, but after Jeremy talked about that in a video I subscribed, and I struggled to navigate my subscription feed after that :/
I subscribed. For the most part, it's only a few videos. But now and then someone screw up and i get swarmed with 5 rounds an intro and a deck tech version of the same video... u.u
It's enough stuff that you will notice it, but it's not overwhelming.
Rip Wes, but at the same time I still love Commander vs just because of the people still there and that the content is still great. Also, happy that Jeremy won with the sweet Jeleva deck! #teamjeremy

Good job guys! :D
Wow I just randomly found the first episode where Jon became a core member. Wasn’t even looking for it, but I had always wondered.
got home from work and my favourite edh guys have a new video for me, nice! #VSPlaymats
Fun video...nice to see John back
Aw man, I loved the interaction that Wes brought to the videos. It's ok though because Wes said he was just going to the store to pick up some cigs....kinda like my mom said 10 years ago. Still waiting for her to come back too. Why must everyone I love leave me?!
It was a fun production TY guy's.
does anyone know where i could find the command zone mat ? its really neat ! I was wondering if star city sells it or if i could find it somewhere else ? if anyone knows please let me know ! :) greatly appreciated !
Wes was my favorite. RIP in spaghetti never forghetti.
I know you guys are gonna do it at some point but just checking that you guys will be doing a video on the new monarch mechanic as well as using some of the new legendaries from conspiracy crown.
Shame about Wes leaving, entertaining to watch and came across as a great fellow. Glad to see Jon back though, looking forward to more to come.
RIP Wes wise! we will miss you #WiseMove
Wes is not dead......
+The Dracogenius it's a figure of speech
Wes wise, you will be missed. Wes wise is my spirit animal and he will live on forever whenever anyone casts a cryptic command. #wisemove
for the finale I have a deck idea that would be lots of fun for one of them if they like drawing cards
there are several core cards in the deck like karn liberated double mana lands the chain veil and Teferi(Planeswalker form) otherwise fill the deck with ramp, removal more Planeswalker, and lots of draw cards(and reliquary tower and the new artifact with the same effect)
also the commander is oloro
Very sad to see Wes go, he was a fun dude to watch play. He played Magic with a lot of heart, not always a lot of brains but he will be missed.
On the bright side, Suarez was my favorite before and I am stoked Jeremy won a video. Jaleva didn't really go off per se but you played aggressively and smart and I am glad to see you get some points this video.
not gonna lie im not Wes biggest fan but i really had fun watching him so ill miss him. good luck with your future endeavors buddy!
John is back! More interesting decks!
#RIPTeamWes My favorite player is gone, but I still look forward to these.
Sad to hear about Wes, but so happy John is back. He's always been my personal favorite.
Why did he leave?
Aw I hope everything works out for you Wes, was a great addition to these videos.
long live #teamsuarez! welcome back man, missed you
What if you all played the same commander? Like 4 Nekusar decks or something wacky like that. Thought of this when 2 of the same decks sat down to play at the same table. Probably not the greatest idea, but I think it'd be cool.
Still love Norin, great brew Suarez, also a big fan of you playing painter in legacy.
So happy Suarez is back, and playing mono red!
I would love to see a tally of the times dust bowl/strip mine has hit the table in these games and never been used to destroy something. Jon was pretty mana screwed so I can't blame him but I've never seen a Gaea's cradle be on the board for that long in my play group.
I missed out, but what were the contest details?
How do I enter the contest they mentioned? Can't find the link with the details
Sweet deck Stephen!
Suarez is back! JUST IN TIME FOR THE NEW GRENZO!!! please play grenzo John and i will make a second youtube account just to like that videos twice.
So sad to see Wes go, but I am glad to see Jon. Wes, I hope you are well and wish you the best, thanks for hours of entertainment.
welcome back john! #teamsuarez!!!
why wes left?? :( can anyone explain it to me??
card text says on upkeep Mogis deals 2 damage to player (or sacrifice creature). Why does that not count as commander damage?
Commander damage is defined as combat damage, so anything done outside that doesn't count towards commander damage.
Well that bums be out that Wes left. But thanks for letting us know. When David McDarby left, i couldn't find anything on where he went.
You definitely should play Wes's-Favorite-Commanders themed game!
I play a very brutal zero creature Mogis deck. Also a Norin deck. So very happy with this episode.
The way john exiles and returns norin is priceless. *SMACK*
Jon my boy welcome back and get your first place! Love you all xoxo
He's back! awesome!
where did Wes go, and why was it sooo short?
Jon being back is going to be awesome
those clutch plays near the end
I wish SCG would give us a heads up on imminent changes in the commander vs cast, we were blindsided by John leaving and now the same with Wes - albeit John is back. Still a shame he's gone but he's left some awesome memories, such as the Arachnogenesis win.
Welcome back Jon and its sad to hear wes left.
I missed Suarez so much, I didnt even notice Wes was not here during the game. Great player.
Also just be aware Jeremy, supposedly when you cast Jeleva you can only cast the instants and sorceries that are exiled with her for that particular commander cast, not the ones that were exiled with her from prior casts in the commander game or even if she is flickered .
(Jeremy) I believe we mentioned that in the video, and we made sure to keep each exiled pile separate.
+Star City Games Oh my apologies , must have missed that, I know when I played her I totally spaced that fact and she lost a lot of that "wow" factor for me. Thanks for the reply , really appreciate it and am impressed!
Is that a ruling? According to the text, a spell can be cast as long as it was exiled with Jeleva.
+COYADD Yea I looked into it and says that the only ones you can cast are the ones that are exiled that particular cast, even though it's the same creature and Jeremy mentioned that they said it in the beginning of the video. She lost a lot of power to me because of it .
Yes that is correct, but each time Jeleva is cast it counts as a new Jeleva. Which is why only the cards exiled the time she is cast can be cast with Jeleva's ability.
Norin the Wary is REALLY good with things like Purphoros and other ETB effects.
Welcome back, Jon!
I will always be from the #WesSide. I hope he left on good terms and for good reasons. Good luck, Wes! I am jumping ship, though to team #HolyGuacaNoelly. Welcome back, John! #DonJuanSuarez
Well, there goes any chance of my getting a shoutout on camera again.
Goodbye Wes and welcome back Jon.
When is the winner (IE: not me) of the competition announced?
I'll miss seeing Wes on these videos, he was always the person I wanted to root for, It's sad seeing him go.
Until Stephen played Oath of mages, unless I'm missing something, he only had 6 devotion and his attack with mogis was illegal..right?
So apparently, Parnell is going to "extract" his revenge! What a cruel maneuver. It sounds terribly painful.
Congrats jeremy for winning!!! Have faith in yourself and you shall conquer!!!
Sad to see Wes go, but congrats on 100 episodes! Now play with the Un-set legendary creatures....
could you guys do another episode with super spikey decks, loved the last one also can't for the video using commanders from conspiracy 2
I really want to see one of these guys play a Kami of the Crescent moon deck.
Never believed I would say this, but I miss Wes. Either way, great show!
I would really like to see a video involving the new Conspiracy Take The Crown Legends. he legends I would vote for are Queen Marchesa, Leovold, Adriana, and Grenzo. Selvala, looks like a fun commander as well so i would say throw her in there as well, since there is a bit of a disdain towards mono red decks.
This won't be the same without Wes ;(
Good luck, Wes!
Also did Wes "leave the company" or get fired? Or was it like he either leave the company or get fired? (yeah I know this won't get an answer but wes is one of my favorite people in all of magic)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm not team Wes but... he is fun =(
Welcome Back Suarez! You are awesome.
Yay!!!!! Suarez is back!! 😁
No! Wes is gone... 😢
so sad to see wes leave, but im happy to see suarez return. stephen representong the blue devils! GO PRC
On one hand I'm sad wes left, but yay for the return of the Suarez!
When Suarez flips a coin for Puppet's Verdict shouldn't he just call heads or tails in the air as opposed to assigning heads to 2 or less and tails to 3 or greater?
The difference is semantics.
38:33 "Heads" "I don't remember that that one was" that couldn't have been more on-flavor for Puppet's Verdict hahaha
"Extract my revenge" - Justin Parnell, 2016
Welcome back Suarez
