*CAUTION, SPOILERS* This game was incredibly flavorful: It almost simulated an alternate ending to the Brothers War. But it includes lots of small moments that recall to the original story: · Jimmy getting on to a strong start since Yotia is the most powerful nation in Terisare at the beginning of the Brother's War. · Mishra being able to pop off thanks to the help of the phyrexians, in Phyrexian Reclamation and the Phyrexian Dragon Engine. · Mishra taking everybody by surprise in an all-out offensive and wiping The Yotian Kingdom, in Jimmy, off the map. · Ashnod, piloted by Josh, "betraying" Mishra, in Prof, so that Urza had a chance at defeating Mishra. An amazing game. Congrats!
You sir, mam, or compleated being, are truly a scholar! I couldn't agree more, this game was awesome in many ways. Also, if anyone on the RC sees this, please ban dockside extortionist :)
Hey, I really enjoy the lore in mtg. But I find it hard to get to know it all. Is there a Comic Book? Or a compendium of stories? Whenever I see lore videos, they use comics to illustrate, but I don't ever find those online :c
Prof wasn't in a position to do anything. He won with good ol' fashioned mana. Jeska's Will and Dockside combined pretty much sets a player far enough ahead that it's futile to go against.
This is why I came here, haven't watched in ages (maybe a few years) and came praying this would happen. It was a lovely game and worth taking a break for.
We here at Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia would like to thank our official sponsor: Dockside Extortionist. It literally wouldn't have been possible without you!
It makes me SO happy to see: -The prof finally win a game of commander on camera -Mishra melt and do a bunch of awesome stuff -The prof kick ass and obtain an absolute victory with Mishra, lost to phyrexia
I had forgot his power rangers Morphin Time and honest to God thought he (in spite of saying he doesn't know current culture references) was dropping a It's Morbin Time! meme
It's also funny that he was attacking Jimmy with a Rakdos deck while making that meme. Since that episode Jimmy played a Rakdos deck and tried to screw over Prof with a deal with Ladee.
@@supranova7594 he did drop a meme earlier in the episode though (I can’t remember it but I wanted to talk about it and I’m not rewatching the entire thing)
No, the ultimate Jimmy Wong play was in the Commander Legends 2 episode where he discarded a land to draw and then proceeded to get mana screwed throughout the rest of the game.
Prof: "Jeska's Will is a card for people who want to play on easy mode" Prof: *Proceeds to play Deadly Rollick, Jeska's Will AND Dockside* Love ya Prof and this made me giggle
The gleeful child-like joy and energy the prof exuded this whole game was so nice to watch. It was a janky fun deck and it not only worked, it finally gave us the prof winning on camera! I just can't stop smilling now
I love Mishra’s meld animation!!! I hope the next time they use it, they take a voice clip of someone yelling “URZAAA” to really make it ten times better.
@@HiddenMessiah He has won on his own show Shuffle up and Play, not sure if he ever won a Commander game on camera before tho. I've tried tracking it down, but I watch too much MtG content -_-
Best moment of any game knights is when prof shakes hands with Josh and says, “come be one with phyrexian!” In an evil voice while Josh had a face of pain. Never laughed so hard on here
I will keep saythis over and over. The Energy the Prof brings to the table is unmached by anyone else in this world xD He is an amazing person, he is lovable, funny and keeps the sipirit damn high! Love to see him!
@@theOneAndOnlyLordArthur Because Mishra was stated to be attacking once it Melds. However, Mishra itself does not have haste, but is considered a new creature that entered the battlefield this turn
@@theOneAndOnlyLordArthur Mishra, claimed by Gix states: "(...)It enters tapped and attacking". The giant engine dragon still has summoning sickness but the effect of Gix bypasses that only for THAT attack, the second combat phase is a whole new one and the summoning sickness prevents the dragon engine to attack again
I actually think they find out in post, don't see it in profs graveyard. I guess they find out after game and for the sake of the game invented he played an expedite lol
Honestly this was like a breath of fresh air - it finally felt like the Game Knights I got hooked on years ago. It’s become unwatchable more recently and that’s almost entirely due to Josh.
As the person in my play group who is notorious for getting too scary too early and then dying first because everyone teams up to stop me, watching this came was cathartic to see my dreams come true. Hail Phyrexia! Hail the Prof!
@@joedoe7572 We know, but if you combine all his wins in all of the formats, he has 2. It gives him a better "win record" not a better record mind you--its puts more wins in that column :)
Prof saying "I don't know pop culture and I don't care to know his little "references" had me laughing out LOUD, on the crowded train going home from work 😅
Technically Prof could have argued that in the replay he said referring to also to himself 'one turned imunity'. You would have to give it to him on benefit of the doubt
I'm so happy that the professor is back on Game Knights, he is my favorite guest on the show of all time, he is like me, we get really excited about something that unleashes our inner child out, the professor is my favorite :)
This is the best episode of Game Knight by far far away. Not only a guest get the victory in a epic way. That guest was the Prof, and its the first time on camera. Mishra Deck its very flavor and the Prof make it more epic with his carisma and enthusiasm. Really deserves the win.
I swear Rakdos and its 3-colored versions are getting even more fun in each set. Urza might be the most powerful Planeswalker but Mishra just hits different
Lol Prof is such a character and the episode is always so much fun to watch when he's on. Overall great game and that Mishra deck was built in such an oppressive way. Definitely meaner by far than what I'm used to seeing from the Prof.
One of my favorite episodes of game knights, it had everything: a good game of edh, good group of friends playing, funny moments at the table and behind the scenes(especially the giant card!); very good job to the game knights team on camera and the group behind the camera- thank you!
I’ve never played magic but I just bought the starter decks for me and my friend to try and learn. This game looks so damn fun and the editing and the visuals of this Chanel is mind blowing.
I’m saving this video solely for the segment where Josh explains how wheel of misfortune works. I now have something to show my table when i play this damn card.
Prof saying Jeskas Will is for easy mode and the playing it right after is instant comedy
@_@ laughing
If he's the professor of anything it's making people laugh
It’s sorcery comedy actually
It was hilarious, which is why I love the Professor, he is hilarious
Honest man, he never said it was going to be hard.

Prof didn't just win..he killed the whole table with good ol honest combat damage
Good old combat damage… and shitty dockside 😂😂
Dockside won him the game imo, he had 30+ mana than the rest of the table
Prof wasn't in a position to do anything. He won with good ol' fashioned mana. Jeska's Will and Dockside combined pretty much sets a player far enough ahead that it's futile to go against.
@@davedu34270 I mean docksides gonna be a strong SoB in a artefact heavy set!!
I mean technically Josh died to life loss, not combat damage, but that's basically true
"It ain't much but it's honest work"
So nice to see the prof single handedly keeping the Archenemy format alive :)
I mean Mishra does that sort of thing, a single attack can set each opponent so much back
@@thetruth4654 Bro is literally an insane wizard, mounted into a mech, which breaths nukes. That's gonna get some attention.
The Professor should play the bad guy more often. It was very entertaining and cool to watch. Dark Professor if you will.
The Instructor of the Tolaria State University
MUWHAHWHWHWHAHAAA
*Flashbacks to Black Mana Prof*
Professor, lost to phyrexia I think works well too 😉
If it gets him more wins I’m down with evil Prof
When Prof said: "Be one with Phyrexia" and shook Joshs hand, the fate was done. Josh in this moment indeed became a Phyrexian deceiver!
The Judas of Magic.
my favorite moment is when the prof said "it's meldin' time!" and proceeded to meld all over the place
Holy crap I thought it was just a meme comment!
I came to the comments just for this
the one time this meme is actually accurate
I can't believe youtube allowed it.
I totally thought this was just a meme until I watched the episode
The professor doing the most flavory Mishra things in the world and I’m obsessed with it.
He was such a good heel I love it and hate it at the same time
@@nikhilbhandarkar7226 To be fair he always acts as the heel, and he's always great at it
@@Ellie-Angela He found his niche and revels in it
What is that eye from?
@@Turn2Ugin it’s a broach designed by Salvador Dali.
The Professor, turning into The Archenemy, breaking his curse and stealing the game with a giant, melded creature was so satisfactory
Josh shaking hands with Prof as he's screaming "Be one with Phyrexia" has to be turned into a meme
Magic's "Hail Hydra"
i thought about Craig at this moment :D he would be proud :D
i agree
I thought for sure he would bounce the dragon engine to exile it. No more melding!
That was one of the best moments
The Professor really became the villain of this episode; He is now The Professor Completed.
You mean Compleated
The Instructor!
Prof melded to be complete 😂
@@TheGrifcannon22 He REALLY should roleplay as the Instructor next time he comes onto the show. Play Xanathar or Sen Triplets.
Wizards made him out to be the villain, and man does he do it well.
I love how Jimmy is not just against 3 opponents, he is also against himself.
didn't watch yet, but let me guess... Jimmy put 10 lands in his deck... replacing the other lands with card draw with a fish hook sticker on them?
With Jimmy’s land luck, limiting all his spells to 3 mana is probably a good move.
Tru
Yeah but he had more mana on turn two this game than he has when he dies most games 😂
@@AdairCorbin And despite this, he was still the first one out.
Mini Mansions is slept on, Max
That's why it was believable that he actually did tutor for a land.
I don't think I've ever seen Prof go off so hard in an edh game. That really made me happy.
This is why I came here, haven't watched in ages (maybe a few years) and came praying this would happen. It was a lovely game and worth taking a break for.

Jimmy bidding 10 life on wheel of misfortune is the ultimate Jimmy Wong Play™
No, the ultimate Jimmy Wong play was in the Commander Legends 2 episode where he discarded a land to draw and then proceeded to get mana screwed throughout the rest of the game.
Felt like he was going to even if Prof hadn't said anything 😆
Yeah jimmy is a reckless player..
do you mean Jimmy wrong play.
@@Rustybits It's a running joke I have where I comment something akin to this on every game knights episode.
Prof: "Jeska's Will is a card for people who want to play on easy mode"

Love ya Prof and this made me giggle
The gleeful child-like joy and energy the prof exuded this whole game was so nice to watch. It was a janky fun deck and it not only worked, it finally gave us the prof winning on camera!
I just can't stop smilling now
OOOOOH, now I get it! The Professor sold his soul to Phyrexia to be good at MTG and that's why he played Mishra
Mishra*
@@lasterman94100 thank you! i changed it
We need a "Prof, Lost to Phyrexia" alter!
The prof drunk with meld power is the best thing ever.
I love Mishra’s meld animation!!! I hope the next time they use it, they take a voice clip of someone yelling “URZAAA” to really make it ten times better.
Prof winning on camera is kind of a moment in history
nah, he already won on camera earlier this month/late october.
@@ryuj7693 Did he?
Do you have a link?
@@HiddenMessiah He has won on his own show Shuffle up and Play, not sure if he ever won a Commander game on camera before tho. I've tried tracking it down, but I watch too much MtG content -_-
It was awesome
Was rooting for him the whole game.
So happy that Prof steamrolled them
This truly is the professor's villain arc.
And his best story ever. Making him a hero we didn't know we needed
The return of the Un-structor
I had expected him to play Urza
"If you don't try, you won't succeed." That's wholesome magic
The deals were very flavorful with this game. Urza and Kayla teaming up, along with Mishra and Ashnod teaming up.
I'd be disappointed if I didn't see Mishra and Urza fighting against each other despite it being against their best interests.
oh... my god. I missed that; nice one!
And then Ashnod betrayed Mishra
And Ashnod deciding to turn against him after, BONUS FLAVOR
Flavor fail, since the game did not end with a Sylex Blast.
Now we know why the Prof usually plays merfolk. He's simply too powerful otherwise.
Best moment of any game knights is when prof shakes hands with Josh and says, “come be one with phyrexian!” In an evil voice while Josh had a face of pain. Never laughed so hard on here
Prof playing Mishra is so on brand, considering he goes at length to talk about how Urza was the "true villain" of the brothers war.
I will keep saythis over and over. The Energy the Prof brings to the table is unmached by anyone else in this world xD He is an amazing person, he is lovable, funny and keeps the sipirit damn high! Love to see him!
Have you seen Prof and Post Malone in the same table, it was magical.
Truer words never spoken lmao he makes great TV everytime
This game exemplifies how busted Dockside Extortionist is in Commander. The Prof basically got 2 extra turns worth of mana for 2. Insane.
This aged well
Prof's "It's Melding Time!" was amazing haha
Let’s face it, melding is hard. But bringing in the most evil character in mtg story for the most devious player is true lore
@@Tuturial464 where's the yawgmoth
Prof: getting bullied for how he merely unrolls his playmat within the first 5 seconds of the game
Prof: SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH...
He chose violence
He chose to be Compleated
This actually happens to every guest lol
LOL
That look Jimmy gave the camera when Lexi passed the turn to Prof was priceless.
32:15
Such a rare situation but I guarantee 9 times out of 10 people will over look it and just attack regardless
Can you explain that interaction? Why couldn't Mishra just attack again and needed a spell giving it haste again?
@@theOneAndOnlyLordArthur Because Mishra was stated to be attacking once it Melds. However, Mishra itself does not have haste, but is considered a new creature that entered the battlefield this turn

Rare is seeing Expedite in a deck other than Feather 😆😆😆
I actually think they find out in post, don't see it in profs graveyard. I guess they find out after game and for the sake of the game invented he played an expedite lol
Considering how often Josh usually wins games, it great to see him get steamrolled by the Professor in this!
Truth!
even after playing tricks which made proff's win even better
Especially after the “deal”
Honestly this was like a breath of fresh air - it finally felt like the Game Knights I got hooked on years ago. It’s become unwatchable more recently and that’s almost entirely due to Josh.
This is the canon lore for how The Professor became The Instructor in an alternate timeline where he actually wins a game of commander on camera.
Many Magic The Gathering players really enjoy watchin the professor on Game Knights, including me!! :)
As the person in my play group who is notorious for getting too scary too early and then dying first because everyone teams up to stop me, watching this came was cathartic to see my dreams come true. Hail Phyrexia! Hail the Prof!
4:23 The sudden switch from whiny children to anime arch nemeses then back to whiny children was absolutely brilliant.
"But if you dont try, you will never, ever succeed." i can't say how many times this quote has played in my head. thanks prof!
What an amazing game of Archenemy, Prof is such an entertainer! Love to have him here with production value.
53:06 as Napoleon once said, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
The animation for Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia was honestly breathtaking
Makes me wish we had seen the one for urza planeswalker
This makes up for no animation at all on arena
It was amazing and I just want to watch that animation on repeat
@@jussmaster wait does arena actually have no animation for him? No shot
@@n0obz27 not only that. I think they didn't add a single animation in this set
Seeing prof win is probably the number 1 wholesome moment I’ll ever see.
Prof got the equivalent of a genie granting a wish that ended up with unexpected consequences with that deal with Josh XD
Honestly, the whole interaction between Prof and Josh was when a devil makes a deal with a fey
Not only did Prof finally win on camera, he got to meld 3 times in one game.
That Mishra meld is stomping me out in Standard as well. What a powerful couple of cards.
Wow. Not only did Prof win, but he did so gloriously! Killing each of his opponents, single-handedly!
My favorite moment was seeing someone properly execute the Landfall trigger on Moraug. Seems like no one ever gets that one right...
they misplayed moraug's trigger on an old episode.
The Prof is killing it with memes and references.
So happy for him. Well played as well.
Congrats to Prof on his second ever win playing Magic the Gathering!
He's won before... just not here :p
Yes, he did win once on Shuffle Up and Play. The Mill vs. Discard episode I think.
Not Commander though, this was his first win for that
@@joedoe7572 We know, but if you combine all his wins in all of the formats, he has 2. It gives him a better "win record" not a better record mind you--its puts more wins in that column :)
Oh man Jimmy's gaze when Prof said oh yeah Jimmy's dead
Jimmy had a few moments looking dead into the camera and I died every time lmfao
I seen them aswell 👀 very funny lol
55:45
He Jimmyed at the camara
@@smalldiabetes Man when you put the time up I watched it again And I laughed over and over
Prof saying "I don't know pop culture and I don't care to know his little "references" had me laughing out LOUD, on the crowded train going home from work 😅
This was a SICK episode. I was rooting for Prof the entire time and was pumped to see him come out on top 😁
:) he won
Jimmy going "I love lands" and smiling at the camera had me cackling 🤣
Yah considering he usually droughts on em 😅
Technically Prof could have argued that in the replay he said referring to also to himself 'one turned imunity'. You would have to give it to him on benefit of the doubt
But even if the Professor convinced everyone that that was the deal, Josh could still break it.
I'm so happy that the professor is back on Game Knights, he is my favorite guest on the show of all time, he is like me, we get really excited about something that unleashes our inner child out, the professor is my favorite :)
Before Jimmy attacked with Mishra Josh should of made the reclamation into an artifact so the Mishra trigger could destroy it
@@Cupakabra77 Very true
@@Cupakabra77 would have been awesome, but hard to see in the moment
That animation for Mishra is fantastic! Kudos to the animators!
OMG yeeeees, I was so surprised! Amazing job
Urza's animation was sick too!
Which one? NGL compared to their older animations those felt really lazy.
Okay, Jimmy's death scene became my new #1.
The professor FINALLY won a game on camera and what a game !! Glory for phyrexia ! Glory for the professor !!
Man the Professor just has a ridiculously charming smile. I love that guy
I'm 100% getting two custom Jeska's Will proxies made after this, one with each of Prof's statements as flavour text.
This is the best episode of Game Knight by far far away. Not only a guest get the victory in a epic way. That guest was the Prof, and its the first time on camera. Mishra Deck its very flavor and the Prof make it more epic with his carisma and enthusiasm. Really deserves the win.
The sheer amount of glee in Prof's voice throughout that entire turn... I was absolutely cheering him on the whole time.
"Jimmy.... Did you SEARCH FOR A PLAINS?!?!" >:[
I felt Josh's pain right there :D
Jimmy getting killed by a giant card is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
Basically the only thing I found funny in this episode.
Prof doing a hair flip instead of shaking Josh's hand at the end got me. Ultimate shade. Awesome game!
All that and the bag of chips. God I feel old seeing that.
Love seeing the Prof on these shows, he's so much fun to watch and brings so much personality to the table
This might actually be my favorite episode prof playing both mishra and melding and playing Gix on top of that just pure bliss of old school phyrexia
I swear Rakdos and its 3-colored versions are getting even more fun in each set. Urza might be the most powerful Planeswalker but Mishra just hits different
I was surprised when they said "Jimmy died on turn 6" because for 6 turns, so much has happened.
So nice to see Prof pull off an impactful game, meld not only once but several times and finally get a win! Feels good, Prof! Awesome game!
Prof finally won a game is such a historic moment of history.
nah it was a Commander moment
finally Proff became a James Bond villain he deserves to be!
It is always a joy to see Prof ham it up! Meld into chaos!!!!
Lol Prof is such a character and the episode is always so much fun to watch when he's on. Overall great game and that Mishra deck was built in such an oppressive way. Definitely meaner by far than what I'm used to seeing from the Prof.

Plz, bring Prof more times, guys!!! He's a epic event himself. So much carisma!
I’ve never played magic but I just bought the starter decks for me and my friend to try and learn. This game looks so damn fun and the editing and the visuals of this Chanel is mind blowing.
I’m saving this video solely for the segment where Josh explains how wheel of misfortune works. I now have something to show my table when i play this damn card.
It's really not that complicated though. Lowest number doesn't wheel, everyone else wheels. Highest number also loses life
I really felt like for a second that we'd see both brothers melded
And have Urza Planeswalker exile Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia
Josh Lee Kwai revealed his lawful evil side, making Asmodeus proud.
That game was a riot! Love seeing Prof going all Instructor as the game goes on, made the choice to play Mishra feel all the more appropriate.
This was a top tier episode for so many reasons
Prof's "He's the threat!" when Jimmy got his own Mishra was great.
It's nice to see that Prof. actually win a Commander game.
All it took was for him to become a Phyrexian.
@_@ just a soul that all
All that reading the card finally pays off
@@JonReid01 prof didn't read unearth on phyrexian dragon engine
@@evanchurilov7978 why what happened
All it took was the prof. going into his villian arc. All hail Phyrexia.
The Proff had a totally, "The Proff" game plan and I fully Fully endorse said game plan. The meld is indeed epic when it happens!
Looks like the playgroup couldn't handle Prof's shake test, because they looked shook when he fired off. 😂
🤣
I love profs ideology of just jamming key pieces almost knowing it won’t work. High risk high reward and high amount of fun when it works!
The professor is such a fun character and I'm so glad he got to win for once
