      Josh used to do the editing exclusively. However, the former podcast video editor, Terry Robertson, took over primary editing responsibilities for Game Knights awhile ago. Craig Blanchette then took over podcast video editing responsibilities after Terry switched to Game Knights. Check out the video on their channel that takes you behind the scenes of Game Knights production.

I wish that Wizards of the Coast would have this kind of quality coverage for Tournament play. The way this is presented is brilliant - showing you guys playing a game of Commander (the format I can't wait to try with my 9-year old son Gilad this weekend) and giving commentary about the moves you are making. I can't thank you enough for all the work and effort and love that goes into making these videos. Just know that you guys have a new loyal fan here. Thanks!

      I mean it doesn't change the fact that no, his deck doesn't synergize well at all. Worm Harvest, Avenger of Zendikar, and Windgrace himself were the only cards that synergize with lands at all. If Mel hadn't pissed Cassius off, Cassius had Kyle dead to rights (and given how little of threat she was when he attacked her the second time and actually killed her, probably should have gone for Kyle)

    Huge respect for Josh for being nice to Kyle early on. Mel and Cassius were relentless to him. First Mel attacks him, then steals his only thing right off the bat, attacks him again, then Cass gets upset with Kyle for destroying everything despite the fact that Mel had a huge board and was about to Ultimate. And when Mel said "i'm gonna swing at the guy who has no blockers" I think she really meant "the guy I've been picking on all game" because Josh didn't have any blockers either. In fact, his commander was wide open. I love Cassius and Mel, especially Cassius, but they were being a little to oppressive to Kyle early game. Good on you Josh for at least giving him a chance to get into the game.

      @Jaquan018 6 лет назад +6

      The decks seem to split themselves between the main commander and supporting ones. In Windgrace's case, it's a split between his own land matter strategy and the Spider's Pillow Fort tactic. Seheli and Estrid have it better since all their potential commanders are focused on the same theme. Heck Animatou deck is split on herself since she supports two different strtegies.

    • @andrewl9191
      @andrewl9191 5 лет назад +3

      @@Jaquan018 This is definitely it. The decks aren't really bad by themselves, but they lack a single game plan for sure. I like that there are different ideas going on for different commanders a lot though. It just means that it's better to build your own deck from them than to play them by themselves.
      I played against somebody in the UR Artifacts deck and on turn 10ish, they cast Tawnos, and it did absolutely nothing.

      nope.
      Read Estrid.
      You have to enchant _another_ target permanent with the mask.
      Double nope actually.
      Since even if you could, giving Estrid Totem Armor only protects her from a "destroy" effect.
      Attacking her with a creature would still cause loyalty counters to be removed and a planeswalker with zero loyalty counters is put into it's owner's graveyard independent of being destroyed.
      So it would've been a very subpar play in the very least.
