Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting everyone! Small rules mistake in this episode: Yes Arexmethes is supposed to EtB tapped, which we missed. Apologies. New cards and all that. Hope you enjoy the episode. -JLK
I was rewarching old game knights, and noticed that in the Rivals of Ixalan Game Knights, Craig attacks Mel because he doesn't know her. Now Mel responds to "but I'm the new one" with "exactly!" Fun little parallel
Just finished watching Kyle over on Spellslingers, and now we get to see him play some Commander?!! He seems like a super fun guy to play some MTG with.
imagine if LeBron James or Steph curry played MTG on game knights. How much would a new generation of young fans look to magic? thats alot of community-building thats the point its a community of everyone like you said, and that Cassius is just proving it and showing everyone.
As long as it's standard, because it will actually cost those kids more money than drugs. My storm deck cost more than three thousand dollars thanks to WoTCs price fixing oh sorry, "reserve list".
I was feeling Cassius on this episode. You're thinking "Wow, there is just no way I'm getting back in this game" and sure enough, a few turns later your board state is looking prime.
Marky Mark wait.. sorry if im assuming but it sounds like you dont think he has won. But he has. He won in his first episode when they were playing with Commander Anthology and he was piloting Kaalia’s deck.
@@becausescience for sure! I'm 6'7" and still would not want to ruffle that dudes feathers. Super intimidating haha Love your videos on the Nerdist channel. Didn't know Because Science is its own channel! Consider me your newest sub!
I personally think it's a good idea to watch his biggest hits highlights prior to casting Ruinous path or Chaos warp. You know... weigh the opportunity cost, keeping your head attached to your body, or removing his planeswalker might ensure you think long and hard about your decisions.
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.
Josh is still editing the bulk of this and directing the bulk of it. Terry definitely helps and credit is given where credit is due, but this is the baby of Josh through and through. Without his guidance you wouldn't be seeing the episodes like they are today - jimmy
Can we please have Kyle back? He just has SO much synergy with everyone else, as well as this sort of “bouncy” trickster energy that really engages me.
Even coming back to this a year and a half later i LOVE this game of commander. As Kyle said there was just such a good back and forth "on the edge of your seat" feel to this game the entire time, and that clutch miscalculation at the end was just such a perfect twist ending.
I assumed that DJ would take his place in Game Knights as well. The video would have been even better if it had been Josh, Cassius, Kyle and DJ. The chemistry would have been amazing.
A little sad to not see Jimmy on this new episode of Command Knights, but I’m glad to hear it’s not because he was let go but rather he’s working on something important. Can’t wait to see what it is! Edit: I love that this episode has a scientist youtuber, a football player, an employee of WOTC, and one of the regulars playing together. It goes to show that Magic is loved by EVERYONE
Haha - I started the show with Josh. We ain't bein "let go" anytime soon. Also Mel no longer works for WotC, but she used to. She's at Riot Games currently. Kinda like how Cassius used to be with the Seahawks and now he's on the 49ers! Life is fluid, but the guests are always just as entertaining and fun :) -jimmy
Please have Kyle back again! Absolutely love his personality and energy! He's also such a huge MtG nerd (and super nerd in general). Seriously one of my fav episodes!
"I've got all of these tap lands, so it's important that I play things in the correct order to best utilize my mana." _plays a normal land and passes turn_
Man Kyle is working his way around all the Magic shows it seems, I just watched his Spellslingers episode this morning and here he is on Game Knights! Awesome sauce!
Wow - I LOVE this channel. As a Magic player who started in 1994, and then had a bunch of years away from the game, this is by far an incredible resource. 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!
Wrong, the answer is "bouncing your mulldrifter with a cloudstone curio trigger from a token copy of it created by bramble sovereign/riku's trigger, after evoking it, to draw 4+1 cards for 5 mana while getting a free 2/2 flying token"
Aminatou is my favorite of the four, there is something adorable about a eight year old planeswalker who could see that she would one day become a planeswalker and decided that she didn't want to wait, so she sparked right then and there.
Look at Mel's face just seconds later and it may get pushed to second best.... ruclips.net/video/7QsXbFidcv8/видео.htmlh7m43s Can't do the damn link properly haha!
I've been a huge fan of the command zone and game knights for a while now. You guys have inspired me to grow as a magic player and really just get out there and try some new fun decks and interactions with other players. It's created some new friendships when playing commander and I just can't wait for each hard made episode of game knights to come out! Keep up the great work everybody! :)
(Btw, kinda kept wanting cassius to win man 😂 I was on the edge like "yes!! Big damage!!....and then a board wipe..and then another board wipe...and then an...I think you get where I'm going with this)
24:32 you can hear Cassius say "Fuck bro I had so much mana..." And I imagine they'd tell the average person this is a family show and what not, however Cass could suplex you through dimensions so he gets to say what he wants.
Kinda funny hearing them talk about how much they love the yearly commander precons with the perspective of there having been like 24 of them released this year alone. Times have certainly changed.
Yesss finally another episode! Like I swear I desperately wait everyday for another episode by you guys.Not even funny because that’s how much I enjoy you guys playing MTG😁👌
This episode was awesome! I love when Cassius and Mel are on! I really enjoyed the lack of tutors, commander is so much more fun without them! Mel you are gorgeous!!!
this is my favorite game knights episode. I have the Windgrace deck and my wife has Estrid. ive made a few modifications of my own and hers is still out of the box.
I'm just a fan and you guys might not get to read this cuz its an old video. But watching your content actually brings me joy. I love Magic for the bringing people together factor. I would lose every match I played if it meant I got to play with somebody. I understand and respect all the hard work that goes into to making all your videos and you guys never disappoint. Thank you guys for all you do. - Love, a nobody from NY
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.
@@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.
Love seeing how the 4 decks actually play against each other, it's one of the major points of the precons. Also pleasantly surprised by how well the planeswalkers work with the overall themes of the decks.
I started watching Game Knights this week, and what I love the most is that I learn the political aspect a lot. I'm quite bad at making deals at the table in general, and always fall for the same tricks. Especially the commentary in between actions is super useful for me. Thanks for making a great show!
Love all the denial plays in this game Drives home the point too that these games can still be fun and interesting despite the power levels, so long as the decks are relatively balanced against each other
An all-star game with Kyle, Mel, and Cassius, in addition to the stalwart Josh! Love these folks and the fun they have and give to viewers. Y'all rock!
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)
But WHYYYYY did he never put a Mask on Estrid, THE MASKED?! It's right there on the card that a Mask has enchant permanent and totem armor. THAT is how Estrid protects herself.
@Emily Smith 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.
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.
Chris Maness, in all honesty, and nothing against Jimmy, but I hope he doesn't come back. I hope the best for him, and I hope he sticks around the MTG community, but he's seemed bored and his relationship with Josh has seemed strained. I agree 100% about JC/DJ.
Because of you guys I am starting to order my cards and singles from Card Kingdom . I just received my first order of cards today and I am completely satisfied with the customer service. By far the best customer service I've ever had
A 12/12 mana dork legend? Well I finally found my general for a sea beast deck... time to quote Liem Neason and .... UNLEASH THE KRAKEN! Kraken, leviathan, and octopus oh my...
Same here. The moment I saw Arixmethes, I knew I was building a deck with it, though my deck was more focused around giving it 21+ power and making it unblockable for a one-hit kill.
Yeah :D. In my experiences it is better to save your big good stuff and wait til most board wipes are out. And with 4 Players there are many, but it's never easy in Commander to know what you play when. Esp. for me it's difficult to know who to attack.
Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting everyone! Small rules mistake in this episode: Yes Arexmethes is supposed to EtB tapped, which we missed. Apologies. New cards and all that. Hope you enjoy the episode. -JLK
The Command Zone Kyle Hill? I just watched Spellslingers with him as a guest! Awesome!!!
KHALANI,
my ears bleed everytime he spoked wrong, and you didn't correct...
my eyes bleed when you write "spoked wrong" instead of "spoke incorrectly"
Can you please put DJ on Game Knights?
The Command Zone any idea when these come out on mtgo?
Was an honor to be knighted! This was one of the best games of Magic I’ve played in a long time. - KH
My guy how are you not verified
Many awesome plays this episode.
Cause of possible spoiler
Gratz on the win, those worms man.... unleash the swarm.
Great game! Just out of curiosity what is your favourite commander?
just discovered your channel a few weeks ago, and have been watching ad nauseum ever since. super cool seeing you on game knights!
Glad to see you escaped the void long enough to be knighted
Its just not the same without Jimmy failing to draw lands for 70 minutes
That's actually what his project is, he's going off to travel the world so he has more experience actually finding land when he needs it.
And then he wins anyway. xD
Savage af. But so true. We feel for you Jimmy.
well, did he draw lands ths time...?
I'm sorry to say that jimmy did not draw a single land in this whole video
Cassius is honestly so relatable in his salt
I felt so bad for him this game lmao
Your thumbnail makes sense now
though, he did not do a very smart thing of playing the octopus umbra on a cat and killing kyle and definitely be able to kill josh
Yeah buff Seth Rogan really was salty. Lol
@@89ludeawakening1 tf does that mean? Lol
I was rewarching old game knights, and noticed that in the Rivals of Ixalan Game Knights, Craig attacks Mel because he doesn't know her. Now Mel responds to "but I'm the new one" with "exactly!" Fun little parallel
Yeah. I just watched that one this morning. She’s a little neurotic 😅
Board wipes the gathering.
affect one player or three, it's elementary dear watson
More like powercreep the gathering
It's a solid form of card advantage in any b/w deck. One board wipe per 1 or 2 permanents from each opponent is a great trade.
man Cassius always has the plays on the field and on the magic table ,I hope he returns for more game Knight he's my favorite guest .
My fav is Craig, to Cassius then Mel. 3 of them are really such friendly energetic players always fun to watch
Team Cass!! tho Josh Kim is a close second, he’s hilarious 😂
Seriously plus josh kim
Gotta say, I love Cassius, but I really wish The Professor shows up again real soon. I love when he is involved with Game Knights!
Cassius is my absolute favorite. He proves that you don't have to be a stereo typical geek to play MTG.
Just finished watching Kyle over on Spellslingers, and now we get to see him play some Commander?!! He seems like a super fun guy to play some MTG with.
MTG Muddstah He is! Very good player too.
MTG Muddstah love your videos
Play moar Titania
MTG Muddstah: yes he does!
MTG Muddstah dude thank you for the quality content!
Thank you Cassius Marsh for proving to my son's football coach that football players can be Magic players.
MTG Dad this makes me really happy
Accurate name.
Any1 can play magic. Stop now.
imagine if LeBron James or Steph curry played MTG on game knights. How much would a new generation of young fans look to magic? thats alot of community-building
thats the point its a community of everyone like you said, and that Cassius is just proving it and showing everyone.
As long as it's standard, because it will actually cost those kids more money than drugs. My storm deck cost more than three thousand dollars thanks to WoTCs price fixing oh sorry, "reserve list".
Oh this is gonna be a great episode!
* Sees that the episode is over an hour long *
* Remembers that eight board wipes were reprinted *
Oh...
I’d love to see an episode with Josh, Jimmy, the Professor, and Kyle Hill
No professor, please.
@@AlexFarleyMusic Silence, Tim Pool fan
its called the second episode of extra turns
@@Mark-the-Raider Tim Pool fans have no idea how off-base they are.
i hate your deck is a new commander show and they just put out an episode with prof and kyle!
I was feeling Cassius on this episode. You're thinking "Wow, there is just no way I'm getting back in this game" and sure enough, a few turns later your board state is looking prime.
And then it gets fucked in the butt and then stabbed.

Today on Mythbusters we find out how long our very own Kyle Hill can withstand a curb stomp from Cassius Marsh.

Cash could easily have prevented all that targeted removal with a single -1 activation for Estrid's Mask token. Not Kyle's fault he left himself open.
The editors of this are the real unsung heroes. This is amazing.

He was great. I was more excited to see him in the game than anything.
He is featured in another EDH match here:ruclips.net/video/Bva8rOrKiVA/видео.html
Pikada What do you call a Kyle Hill with a red deck? Kyle Mountain!
I would love that
He... Excites me...
Even coming back to this a year and a half later i LOVE this game of commander. As Kyle said there was just such a good back and forth "on the edge of your seat" feel to this game the entire time, and that clutch miscalculation at the end was just such a perfect twist ending.
I love Cassius on the show, he's fantastic
Mel: at least it doesnt fly
Cassius: good idea. (Plays archetype of imagination)
That "I'll draw-zi" at 7:05 always gets me
How about saying go ahead to pass turn, then after a whule you start saying goathead
@@Tehaxor1 yeah I don't know how he has a straight face
*Happy Ashlen noises*
Cass is such a great guest on these. I love that he's less hammy and gets a little salty at times. Hid reaction after 25:50 is just pure gold
Yay!!! Mel is back! She is fab! I think of her every time I cast Vorinclex...
That's a jerk card for jerks! Hahaha
Lands are sacred
Every time someone casts Vorinclex I take a picture of it and tweet it to Mel.
Everytime you cast Vorinclex your group is closer to uninviting you to game
I bet you run manabarbs with it don't you
I cry that Jimmy isn't here! But Having Cassius makes up for it :) Would've been cool to see Jumbo on here
What happened to jimmy
Christian Bell watch the first minute
I assumed that DJ would take his place in Game Knights as well. The video would have been even better if it had been Josh, Cassius, Kyle and DJ. The chemistry would have been amazing.
TwilitLugia my guess is that this was filmed a while back as it takes a long time to edit. DJ will most likely be on an upcoming game knights
Then they must have received the early copies earlier than I thought.
A little sad to not see Jimmy on this new episode of Command Knights, but I’m glad to hear it’s not because he was let go but rather he’s working on something important. Can’t wait to see what it is!

Please have Kyle back again! Absolutely love his personality and energy! He's also such a huge MtG nerd (and super nerd in general). Seriously one of my fav episodes!
I live for Cassius’ salt. He’s probably my favorite guest star on the show
This episode must have a 4.0 GPA with all of the answers everyone had.
Yeah especially with the sharp decline seconds before it ended, almost all information is no longer needed
Dang I hope you guys invite Kyle over again for a home brew game. I’m curious to see what deck he would bring.
The Production value of the edits has improved so much over time! Well done to the editors on this one!
44:13 "Nobody's deck is really taking off because everybody's deck depends on their commander ulting"
Josh: *laughs in Aminatou*
Is Animatou that good?
Kyle: laughs in *worm*
@@pickcollins9910 I think Aminatou just doesn't have a good ultimate. I am pretty sure her minus 1 is better.
@@abhikan7654 The ultimate is hilarious, but you’ll probably spend most of the game using the plus and minus for utility
"I've got all of these tap lands, so it's important that I play things in the correct order to best utilize my mana." _plays a normal land and passes turn_
i mean, the next turn he played a bounce land. it checks
Ok that was one of the best episodes of Game Knights ever, thanks for that!
I completely agree the Synergy and combos of all the decks ran very smoothly. Very nice to see what all decks are capable of doing.
Man Kyle is working his way around all the Magic shows it seems, I just watched his Spellslingers episode this morning and here he is on Game Knights! Awesome sauce!
It felt like forever waiting for this.
Sounds like you could fix that byyyyy.... Becoming a patron! ;)

OMGGG i just confirmed this loll hes gonna play ling ! so hypeddd
HOLY. SHIT. WHAT
Whaaaatt?!?
DUDE THIS IS LEGIT
OMG
"Is there any better feeling than blinking your own Mulldrifter?" Answer is yes, it's blinking your own Cloudblazer.
Wrong, the answer is "bouncing your mulldrifter with a cloudstone curio trigger from a token copy of it created by bramble sovereign/riku's trigger, after evoking it, to draw 4+1 cards for 5 mana while getting a free 2/2 flying token"
Almost as good as flickering your thragtusk!
or perhaps forcing your opponent to blink said cloudblazer?
And the evoke trigger on the stack for extra cool points.
Love seeing Cassius come back, definitely my favorite guest
Aminatou is my favorite of the four, there is something adorable about a eight year old planeswalker who could see that she would one day become a planeswalker and decided that she didn't want to wait, so she sparked right then and there.
But the art is uncanney imo
Does anyone else just find it hilarious when Josh yells "BABY TURTLES"
This is by far my favorite episode of the Command Zone, that's just a damn good game of Magic
Kyle AND Cassius? Oh boy this gonna be good!
No need to paint a bulls-eye on here forehead?
1:07:13 - 1:07:23 best 10 seconds in the video and that is saying a LOT bc this was full of great moments.

My comment was highlighted! Thanks guys!
Sorry.
OMG WHAT SCIENCE THOR??? New favourite episode
Dylan Bramer PRAISE THE (man)BUN - KH
Thank you Cassius Marsh. I live in Seattle but I'm a 49ers fan. Welcome to the team.
Mel and Cassius are such great personalities. I hope they still enjoy coming on the show. Cuz they are some of my favorite personalities!
34:30 I found one... playing a bolas's citadel with nearly 200 life
Didn't know kyle hill was also an mtg player. All the more reason to be his fan.
It's always interesting to randomly find out that people you know or are fans of play magic. It really is a small world...or should I say plane?
he's also just been on spellslingers over at geeks & sundry.
Yesss finally another episode! Like I swear I desperately wait everyday for another episode by you guys.Not even funny because that’s how much I enjoy you guys playing MTG😁👌
Always love seeing Mel and Cassius in Command Zone!
"My next turn is going to be awesome. Your go." "Rath." "..."
Honestly Kyle was my favorite and I really would like to see him appear again he is just so bouncy and it was great to see
That guy looks a lot like that guy on the Nerdist. Strange.
JR Boyd I'm not sure if you joking or not it's the same person he just left and made a channel
What @fogotten one said.
JR Boyd Hmmm. Weird. - KH
He looks like he's related to Emily Bett Rickards from Arrow.

50:00

Thanks guys I didnt think this would get that may replies XD
When Kyle is picking the secret opponent, you can literally see him write “J L K” 😂
This episode was awesome! I love when Cassius and Mel are on! I really enjoyed the lack of tutors, commander is so much more fun without them!
Mel you are gorgeous!!!
Precon Magic is surprisingly good Magic.
this is my favorite game knights episode. I have the Windgrace deck and my wife has Estrid. ive made a few modifications of my own and hers is still out of the box.
That was insane. Slow start with all the board wipes but wow that got really intense by the end.
I like how Avenger just kind of farts on the plants and they get beefed up.
You know that land deck is kinda nuts. Kyle has a slow start and draw a ton of hate but still makes it to the end of the game.

cassius just sitting back and whispering yes sir in the beginning of the game💀💀💀
Kyle has some luscious hair and it makes me think I need to up my game. Great game by the way.
Planeswalker Project it needs some serious conditioner though lol
Planeswalker Project
Yeah. Kyle could star in Men's shampoo commercials LOL
Planeswalker Project This Kyle guy is really cool
No homo but I totally wanna run my hands through his hair.

An all-star game with Kyle, Mel, and Cassius, in addition to the stalwart Josh! Love these folks and the fun they have and give to viewers. Y'all rock!
1:08:49 so far this was the best episode loved it gj Kyle you earned it fighting with everyone with all you got awesome game
“The Jund deck sucks” they said. “It won’t be fun” they said. “It has terrible land synergy” they said.
Walreign was thinking the same thing XD
? what i heard was "all you gottta do is jund them"
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)
the deck is better to buy singles from the precon isn't worth it unless you're brand new.
Josh and I have now both played with it and agree that it’s the strongest out of the box - KH
Mel is always a treat. She's such a great political player
That Aminatou deck is a lot of fun. With miracle cost cards, things can get out of hand really quickly.
Things are getting out of library in this case 🙃
Watching this a few years later. I can't believe how amazing these decks were! Kyle's deck was crazzzy!
One of my fav episodes eve, kyle and cash having that charisma and spark with mel and josh was perfect.
They have sparks? Nice. What’s their favourite plane?
Cassius look dead inside at 26:06
Awesome guests! That Kyle and Cassius dynamic was intense! And watch it until the end - the match is awesome.
my favorite Knight, Marsh, playing the deck i want to get. this really is Commander Christmas!
But WHYYYYY did he never put a Mask on Estrid, THE MASKED?! It's right there on the card that a Mask has enchant permanent and totem armor. THAT is how Estrid protects herself.
@Emily Smith
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.
Man, I enjoy Kyle and Cassius, we need an episode with Josh, Jimmy, Kyle, and Cassius!
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.
Which makes it all the better that Kyle won the game.
Well Mel was but Cas got screwed over multiple times by him so it's understandable
I'm a fan of Kyle Hill and also an MTG player.. my mind got blown away when I found out Kyle plays MTG haha
How long before we see JumboCommander on Game Knights? That'd be sick.
Jack Buttery it's terribly disappointing that he wasn't in this episode.
Would much rather see DJ on this than Kyle Hill. He has made the CZ better, why not give him the spot?
Yeah. I totally agree, plus I like him more than Kyle (I dont like him)
Chris Maness, in all honesty, and nothing against Jimmy, but I hope he doesn't come back. I hope the best for him, and I hope he sticks around the MTG community, but he's seemed bored and his relationship with Josh has seemed strained.
I agree 100% about JC/DJ.
i agree with Cassius. It's not o much "my planeswalker died" its "Josh stop telling people to kill my stuff!"
The quality of the video production is incredible. Wow! Thanks a lot!
Because of you guys I am starting to order my cards and singles from Card Kingdom . I just received my first order of cards today and I am completely satisfied with the customer service. By far the best customer service I've ever had
Cassius+MEL+KYLE HILL?? I must be dead and in heaven, can't believe kyle plays magic...awesome!!!
3 of my favorite guests!! Bring Kyle back again!
A 12/12 mana dork legend? Well I finally found my general for a sea beast deck... time to quote Liem Neason and .... UNLEASH THE KRAKEN! Kraken, leviathan, and octopus oh my...
He's a prime commander for a Kaiju deck
Quest for ula's temple in that deck
Same here. The moment I saw Arixmethes, I knew I was building a deck with it, though my deck was more focused around giving it 21+ power and making it unblockable for a one-hit kill.
Commander Quarters has a great deck tech for this guy.
First youtube video in a very long time that's had me on the edge of my seat at all, much less for a whole hour. GG ya nerds!
more games with Magician Cassius please, also make a seccond "behind the scenes" game!
Dear god, please make Kyle permanent lol. I need more Kyle Hill magic in my life :D
Justin Fracchia I’m game - KH
You want Kyle to be a creature, enchantment, artifact or a land?
fieldy409 he would be a legendary human wizard (or artifice maybe?) :)
Did you catch I asked what kind of permanent he'd be? lol
fieldy409 maybe he’d be a planeswalker?
Wondering why Mel played Unwinding Clock instead of Saheeli on turn 2. Made no sense to me.
scarrboros maybe she had an instant she wanted ready with Sol Ring?
Yep there are many colorless instants out there xD. One I believe.
Fair point river films. Tbh she was probably just super excited to untap her Sol ring on everyone's turns and didn't think.
Yeah :D. In my experiences it is better to save your big good stuff and wait til most board wipes are out. And with 4 Players there are many, but it's never easy in Commander to know what you play when. Esp. for me it's difficult to know who to attack.
56:20 "Yeah, How do you die to a flying Island"?
...I'd say ask the people of Sokovia.
...Oh, wait.
Oops.
Fun episode.
Loved all the guests would love to see any or all them again.
Thank you The Command Zone.
