Besides not feeling like a high power episode, the threat assessment was strange overall. Not swinging at Josh towards the end with Steel Hellkite or hard focusing Jordan felt like kingmaking Josh.
Nearly every Episode ends with kingmaking josh
Also why even bother playing the Rhystic Study to needlessly buff Josh's board?
Also Jake had fun casual commanders. Continuous to get destroyed by the rest... Never really got to see the deck in action. (Also why really Mana Drain?? Poor dude)
@captainqwark4863 and mana drain a 3 drop when the next guys turn you know he is dropping a 5+ drop PW... This game was really odd, like 2v2 or 4 guys that really do not like each other.
Weird threat assessment and apparently Josh had a gun under the table pointed at anyone who might make a good decision 😂
Jordan played a strong game but he was no match for Jordan
This is my whole life right here
@@JordanPridgen the important thing is you never held back 👍
Spoilers!😂
I think you mean: No match for Josh making one-sided deals everyone agreed to for some confusing reason and killing Jordan even after he was no longer a threat*
I understand you were just making a witty remark, but let's not pretend this game was anything but complete one-sided tag team trash against Jordan.
@@TheHetNoonenthud is life of a Jordan in mtg it happens all the time!
Dont understand why Jordan is getting targeted when Josh had the biggest board pretty much the entire game
They were scared of the vraska ult who got bounced back to hand, that problem got handled immediately and he had no proliferating and dragons got flying so they def should’ve been handling josh board
yes, incredible !!
@@mibbzx1493 Also Jake literally knew that Vraska was in Jordan's hand and could've saved the Force of Negation for it, but instead chose to use it on a 2-mana enchantment and ended up bouncing the Vraska with his own Cyclonic Rift anyways. He basically 3-for-1'ed himself because it made Craig tunnel in on him and Mana Drain his commander (which he also shouldn't have done!).
Because he is in charge.
He almost got to ultimate one of them, which would have basically ended someones game in a big hurry... Vraska can be deadly!
It was weird seeing this game. Command Zone always tells me the importance of threat assessment, for it to be completely nonexistent this game. It felt like they went "I want Josh to win just because" near the end.
It's seems like that's the case with every video Josh is in.
@@lemons-iohe pays their bills lol
Yeah starting to wonder if this is just kingmaking out of fear of the boss. Steelkite going at jake twice instead of taking out all of Josh‘s tokens? Such weird decisions, such a badly played game. It‘s clear that the table is afraid of pissing off Josh.
it really wasn't fun to watch. never ever should've promised josh to not attack him on the turn hellkite came down, it was a really bad play against his own interest and the table's interest as well
@@linus437 I mean it’s like when the general lets the king win at chess 😂
Everyone got Jordan to full send, then target him, while ignoring Josh and making deals with him, then lose to him. Craig and Jake didn’t even do much. Ya’ll dont play fair. lol
All Deals with josh didn't make an sense to me.
This game was horrible lol
Either scripted for Josh to win or just blatant kingmaking via poor threat assessment
I only watch Extra Turns irregularly, for exactly this reason. The episodes feel rushed and very scripted in terms of who's supposed to win.
@@ammonaustin9081 poor threat assessment i think
@@ammonaustin9081 Yeah all scenarios of this are terrible.
1. It's scripted: if it's scripted, the best way to create engaging content would be if it follows some kind of dramatic narrative. It would be if Josh was beaten down and looked like an underdog that couldn't win, only to in the last second turn things around and win. This wasn't it at all, it was clear that Josh would win by turn 4 when everyone just used all their removal on each other and didn't touch beast whisperer.
2. It's king-making: then again it's awful content, I don't think anyone wants to see a show that's basically "I put 3 guys on payroll so I could win commander games".
3. Threat assessment was bad: it wasn't just bad then, it was terrible, like beyond-comprehension-do-a-psych-eval-bad. So bad that, again, it's not even entertaining to watch because it's basically watching a chess master play against 5-year-olds.
I get the full send thing was fun when it started, but I am ready for that to stop every time someone plays a black market connections. The bit has run its course
Now people just have to push though until it’s funny again. Stay the course….lol
Agreed it needs to end.
It kills all their games. If they can't agree to not kill themselves, I wish they would at least agree to take it out of their decks. It hasn't been funny since it's third episode
It's cringe-inducing now.
It is the menache all over again.
It seems like everyone was told, if Josh lost they were all getting fired.
It does baffle me how people make deals with him when he is the threat. At least force him to use his resources so he can’t sit there building a board state. It makes a game with a lot of variety become very predictable.
that last deal was stupid, lol. he had the advantage, the hellkite was obviously going to him so why help him knowing he was going to win with that board. Plus deals are not set on stone, betray them ffs, wtf is this shit lol.
I was about to say the same thing.
@@xNemesiSxPR 100% especially with Josh's board that's been basically untouched since turn 1 (apart from that small, small impact of Liliana). For the sake of the game continuing and being fun for everyone, I'd 10/10 times make the deal and break. I know they've talked about game etiquette, but I'm a firm believer that games should be fun over anything. Josh was in a position to lock things and just autowin as usual, from a pragmatic point of view, the game would just be more fun if it reset the board for the rest. Maybe he can throw a hissy-fit in the moment, but I think at the end of the game everyone would agree it'd be the only way to have a fun game that isn't Josh-solitaire.
@@buddhathegod but that what makes political magic fun. You know u can be betrayed not fucking sign a contract like they do.
High powered Jake where he cast his commander a few times and attack with her twice.
The sad side of piloting a glass cannon.
Exactly why I came to the comments. What a boring game to watch
@@bassfunkprog6730you clearly haven’t watched all the extra turns games then
@@bassfunkprog6730 he isn’t bad just because he didn’t play well calm down
@@bassfunkprog6730 have you?
Command Zone threat assessment rule 1: kill Josh first.
Command Zone threat assessment rule 2: do not accept Josh's deals. He will always follow them up with a sudden and huge threat that you suddenly can't deal with.
Command Zone threat assessment rule (that actually being followed): Kingmake Josh
Command Zone rule no one talks about: Don't piss off the boss.
I mean, even when the first deal was made with Josh (aka, I won't send hellkite at you), Josh was a stupidly huge threat to ignore. He had multiple synergy cards down, the ability to draw a full grip every turn, a scry/draw ability that freely triggered, multiple different life gains and targeted damage pings. Not seeing that just by the sheer number of cards in front of him and in his hand is either willfully stupid or bribed to lose.
@@christophervennix9861 Yeah, should have made him at least pay to remove the hellkite if he could.
Why is everyone just handing Josh the game? Feels like everyone just made deals with the guy already ahead to leave him ahead.
Command Zone: where they hype up Black Market Connections but keep doing this whole "full send" skit and the player that full sends *always loses*.
That board assessement was legendary. Josh has a threatening board but the Steel Hellkite has to attack the guy that barely has a board to destroy those silly mana rocks :)
Not sure why jordan was bullied so hard this game. Poor guy had one good turn and as a result was deemed the threat the ENTIRE game even when he was at single digits.
0:10 "It is a pretty explosive and exciting game"
Turns out that was a lie.
Must be hard to play commander when you don't want to make your boss mad at you for the world to see. Lol
Lol
Lol
Seems weird overall because in past episodes he is eliminated 1st or 2nd. I.e. See Post Malone episodes. But even Posty was eliminated early-ish in the 2nd playthrough?
@@MaLordWotanBecause Post Malone was their ace with that episode. If he got eliminated a few turns into the game, something that happens to every normal player every now and then, then the video would make less views and less money. I really want to believe that these vids aren't fully scripted but they are clearly playing in a way to bring more engagement instead of traditional satisfying mtg like other channels.
Josh: Hey Craig, do this.
Craig: Okay
Yet another game of Josh presenting one sided deals that people take for "some reason" and winning the game because of it.
Agreed. Josh himself said in an advice video that you should never take the deal as offered, because the dealmaker always offers something they think is advantageous to themselves.
For instance, here he managed to save most of his board and direct all damage at his opponents just by agreeing not to kill a creature that was no threat. Had there been any negotiating or threat assessment, there's no way he'd get away with that.
Still, commander is a political game. If you out-politic your opponents, that's a valid strategy.
The last 3 turnos why no one attack him with Flyers. Weier
@@danm2235 he could block and kill them?
Yep, literally stopped watching once he made the deal with Craig, this shit is oblivious king making
Exactly. It gets lame watching everyone be afraid to actually attack or kill Josh. As soon as Craig agreed to not attack Josh with Steel Hellkite. I knew that Jish would be winning the game. He had the best board state in the game and the most life. Why was he not archenemy?
Everyone targeting Jordan literally handed the game to Josh.
His fault for playing planeswalkers
@@F_Freakman Yes, but also after Jordan died they should have focused Josh. For some they didn't do anything and were fighting each other when neither one was in enough of a commanding lead. Steel hellkite was forced to not attack a turn even though Josh was the one who had the most to fear from the hellkite, plus the hellkite was swung at Jake for some reason to hit his mana rocks.
Planeswalkers are not a threat if he had no proliferating, no flier to protect him. You gotta read the board better, josh was just generating drawing 4 cards a turn and had his engine going fast asf and putting 1/1 counters on ALL his cretires for like 3/4 turns thats just bad threat assessment
He is there boss, i’ve noticed that a few times he gets handed shit on these games.
@@matoshlee yeah attacking to destroy two mana rocks on a relatively empty board made no sense.
Honestly, I've mostly enjoyed game knights over the years but the last few matches have just seemed made of absolutely terrible decisions in favour of letting Josh win or at least be 'the big bad'. This one feels like the worst of it - you look around the board and see Jake has practically nothing going, Jordan has planeswalkers yes, but little to defend them, Craig is just trying to put something together...and Josh is drawing 3-5 cards a turn, putting massive engine pieces together, gathering a frankly ridiculous stockpile of resources.
And then Craig goes "wellllll....the real threat here seems to be Jordan, I'll make a deal with Josh..". They all go "oh well, Mazirek made it a scary board state" the next turn which to me just shows staggeringly poor situational awareness. What, the ability to draw multiple cards per turn, ping targeted damage around the board, grow creatures, scry multiple times and gain life every turn *wasn't* scary?
Edit: Made this comment halfway through, just watched to the end....if Craig and Jake were not paid to let Josh win that one then they seriously need to go and get a magic the gathering tutorial handbook. Seriously, making deals to slow the hellkite down when Josh had a board state that could *casually* wipe both of them was...something.
This is their first video I've ever given a dislike which is a shame because I know that they can do better. Hard to believe that some of the greatest and most entertaining commander content I've seen has come from the same channel that produced this...
I'm not one to complain about quality of gameplay in at a casual commander table, but it's hard to watch this and think this game wasn't rigged.
It was just a normal game where someone became the second threat of the game, and won because no one had the position to deal with him which is often the way edh and cedh both go down
When and how? The only episode I ever felt was rigged was Post Malone's first episode on this show
@@ItsColde Jordan was never a threat, the only time that he could have been consider a threat was if he could ult the Vraska. Even then he wasn't a threat, Jake had cyclonic rift that he could/should have saved to overload. Josh had plenty of creatures to block them. The only person the assassin were a threat to was Craig, but he should have mana drain Vraska. Josh on the other hand was a threat to the table, he had a draw engine and more mana than everyone else on the table. Plus kiiler service would have turn into a token factory once his commander hit the field. So this was a game where they went after the second threat and let the primary threat run away with the game.
After skimming through the episode again it looks much worse. No one went after Josh until Jordan turned his commander into a treasure. Jake didn't try to pressure him with his commander earlier, instead chose to attack Craig. I don't think Josh would have blocked the 3 damage, but it would have been something. Then maybe Craig wouldn't have wasted his mana drain. Jordan got Vraska to ult range then announced to the table to draw more focus on him. When Craig started to get a board presence he immediately focused made a deal with Josh to focus Jordan. Then instead of goading Mazirek, he decided to goad Jake's commander and destroy his mana rocks. The Hellkit should have went towards Josh the first turn it was able. It would have either killed the Mazirek or got through and he could have blew up all the token. He couldn't do that because he made the deal. Jake makes a deal to keep his commander instead of trying to make a deal with Craig to prevent Mazirek from blocking if he sent the Hellkite Josh's direction.
Wow it's almost as if it's just for fun, you know, like all games are supposed to be designed for?
Okay, I'm not so knowledgeable at Commander, but this game felt one-sided. Pressuring Jordan to commit to the bit and then curbstomping him for it? Making an obviously bad deal with Josh when he was the clear threat? These choices made the game feel scripted.
Can't say this was one of y'all's better episodes.
It felt really hollow. I agree
Yeay, my thoughts precisely
Yep, feels like they let him win. Guess he is the boss
Yeah, this was actively bad.
oh craig, your threat assessment is infamous as usual
You mean Jake right?
Both. So excited to remove Jordan that they let the sac deck get online.
This doesn’t feel any more or less “powered” than any regular episode… especially when you consider that these guys used to pull out ABU duals like they’re nothing on regular episodes.
I think the title is just saying that there isn't any certain theme, like the cat theme last episode
Yea, that’s all of command zone LOL
Is Abu duals really powering your deck up in a noticeable way? Most games I play don't end in exact damage so shocks might as well be right?
Girlie pop chill out
Totally agree, I thought I was about to see some cEDH
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one put off by these plays/vibes
Table baits Jordan into a "full-send" every turn.
Then table uses his low life to bully him out of the game early.
Worst Extra Turns I've seen.
They did him so dirty!! Like wtf?
I think I’m getting to understand the dynamics of playing with Josh. He’s a pretty spiky player and always tries to make deals, but when things don’t go his way he complains and throws a tantrum. I think everyone just doesn’t want to deal with that so they just accept his deals no matter what.
I have to say, these videos are made really well. I barely even notice the gameplay between all the high quality advertisements
After watching this episode, I kinda get the "The show is rigged" comments. It almost feels like Josh said before beginning "I want to win this one, make it happen"
All of the games they play now just seem like it’s more of a tv show and not focused on playing the game. Also it seems like Josh has to win the game everytime he plays
This episode was peer pressure at its finest
I feel like Jordan stopped being the threat a few turns before he died - everyone should've noticed Josh's board and switched gears, especially after Mazirek came down. I also have failed to make Mazirek work as a commander, so was fun to see it do what it was designed to!
he was never the threat, maybe when he would've had that vraska ult (with 3 assassins) on his next turn... but even then it wasn't too bad
Stopped being a threat way before that. As soon as Beast Whisperer had gotten Josh more than 3 cards (outperformed Harmonize), all the focus should've been on Josh.
What was Craig's threat assessment this game lol
Pure spite
Vengeance is the name of his threat assessment.
Think he was stunned from the Force of Negation on Dragon Tempest and just wanted revenge. It was admittedly a really sketcky counter (both of them!) because they all knew Jordan just put Vraska into his hand, which Jake even used removal on the turn after because it was such a big threat! Craig and Jake definitely played like donkeys this game, lol.
Ridículous He did not attack Josh with the flyers
@@totakekeslider3835 tbh dragon tempest is pretty good on that deck, my buddy has a miirym deck and most of the times that enchant sticks we are dead to just triggers.
Black Market Connections, I feel like the shapeshifter is rarely worth it
Next time Jake might want to bring a magic deck too so he can eventually play with them
Looking over the deck lists, Jake did not draw enough ramp and has a very slow deck when that happens, Craig drew badly overall, Jordan suicided with the full send nonsense, so the result was inevitable…
I hope they read these comments, because they really need to either get better at threat assessment, or stop deciding who wins the game before it even starts. It's pretty difficult to stay interested in a video when everyone is playing like an idiot.
I still do not understand why jordan was target focussed lol
I'm gonna say it, intentional misplays do not make content better or more exciting. There's NO WORLD where any of the removal and interaction Jake and Craig were throwing around was used correctly and there's no way they wouldn't have known that. Literally just delivering the game to Josh with bow on it basically from the start.
"Play a game against your boss" I hope this will help the three of them keeping their jobs a bit longer.
Another Command Zone game where the table made ridiculous deals with Josh despite him being the obvious threat. It's starting to get hard to watch.
This episode is like when you play golf with your boss. Oops, shanked another one.
Dude, all 3 of them played Jordan like a fiddle chanting for something that would be his doom. That card is dangerous.
The card is not dangerous at all if your deck does something to try and win the game.
Now, I think Jordan just drew very poorly. I'm sure there's a Doubling Season or a Vorinclex in there.
Unfortunately he also got targeted for no reason the whole game
My friend and I wondered why this video had so many dislikes, but I get it now. There are so many questions about why this video was even considered good. One guy did nothing but play commander. Another guy just killing himself, and last having a 1v1 removal counterpell war. ALL while Josh just plays a very standard food deck. What?...
Why is josh making deals to kill a dude on 9 life like he hasnt the most problematic board lmao 😂
Wow, would have really liked to see the planeswalker deck pop off! Unfortunately, Jordan died to a bit that seems like it has long overstayed its welcome, shame.
The part about full send being played out is so real. I really wish they would retire that “joke”
It really is horrible, and has been destroying Game Knights and Extra Turns since two or so episodes after it debuted
The full send killing yet another player a round to 2 earlier than necessary.
Kinda sad, would have loved to see the planeswalkers do some neat/ nasty stuff.
Maybe jordan can come bavk for a rematch
It's kinda cringe and I wish Josh would stop it, lol. He won't though cause it's kind of his "thing" now.
Josh needs to seriously just stop saying full send. The joke is old and it encourages poor play and awkward peer pressure situations.
It's horrible and ruins games. It may have been funny for a few weeks, but I don't think anyone actually enjoys it anymore
Feels like they ganged up on Jordan for really no reason. He was already losing tons of life to the Black Market Connections. And only got to play a whole whopping three planeswalkers.
Kind of disagree. Other than Josh, he had the best board state for majority of the game (while he was alive). just because he's losing life on his own accord, doesn't mean that he shouldn't be punished for extracting the value that he did with the BMC.
EDIT: i will concede that Josh was a tad bit of a bully by targeting him with the drains while he was the one egging on the 'full send' every turn.
@@jtizzle450Josh's board state was still 10x better and was vulnerable to Craig's Hellkite and he just never sent it Josh's way for like no reason. Even after Jordan was gone he was like "I'm gonna swing it at Jake and blow up both his mana rocks despite his complete lack of a board state all game." It was like Craig was playing the game just to get Josh to win lol
His board state was getting crazy and he was threatening crazy effects. Plus Josh ended it soon after so it wasn’t too long.
Way better than getting knocked out first and waiting 1hr plus for the other 3 to finish.
@@himbology100 Josh had the Mazirek to defend the hellkite on top of the Mazirek getting buffed, which is why it went to Jake.
Also - I think it's fair to say that these players have played against each other's decks before and it was seemingly known that Jordan's deck is very powerful. even Craig said 'we gotta deal with this' and gestured at Jordan's board
You couldn’t pay me to tell my friends to throw this hard at a game that’s supposed to be fun and interactive.
You have to keep in mind that they usually film 2-3 games to find a "good game" to present as content, how lopsided were the games they played but didn't show? idk, i watched of course, but this feels like a real dud of a game that didn't really showcase the power of any deck besides JLK getting to fiddle around with his usual trigger-engines unopposed for 3 turns in a row.
Jake taking the role of table sheriff early could be an interesting episode talking about when you can afford to do this from a card advantage standpoint. without a card draw engine like rhystic study or some way to gas back up i think he has to let the dragon tempest go and make a deal with jordan that he can ult vraska the unseen if the assassins are pointed elsewhere.
His actions with rift and force essentially put the table down 5 cards to josh who was allowed to build. Fast forward and josh has a card draw engine plus the advantage of being left alone early. It also speaks to the power of playing the incremental advantage game while your opponents drop miiryms and threaten to ult planeswalkers. You dodge the counters and removal.
High-Powered King making episode imao
I’m curious how you all decide what’s high power- these didn’t feel that much stronger than the usual decks- what restrictions do you place on normal vs high power decks?
High power? Looks like a normal game
I wouldn't consider killing yourself for the sake of a meme 'high power'.
Their plays don't make any sense, Josh is the threat and has been. Yet he's still goading Jake....
honestly this is a bit ridiculous... people must be so scared of Josh reaction if he doesn't win so they let him win. None attacked him the whole game. Jake could have just waited and cast the cyc rift the next turn for its overload cost, Craig could have attacked Josh with the hellkite forcing him to kill the mazirek. This was one of the worst and more one sided extra turn episodes ever. And please don't read this comment like "here's another hater" ( I am in love with your channel if anything). Just re watch the episode and look at the deals and interactions that happened during the game and reflect on them, please.
I definitely see what you’re talking that win definitely felt like it was just handed to Josh when he clearly had the larger board state
My brother, sometimes these things just happen, there have been dozens of times personally, where a whole table of players, me included, overlook a guy or his board and they end up sweeping for a win. That’s not even with the added pressure of trying to get every rule right while all the while filming, so I’m with you if you disliked the episode for the reasons you stated but nobody can be perfect all the time, and like you said, you’re a fan! Just look forward to the next game 👊
Nobody even tried to attack Josh's board. Whack...
Jordan has some fun and goes full send, so the entire board attacks him when he's down to 9? Then Josh cries like a baby when an opponent plays something he doesn't like. The same channel who complains about land destruction and hand destruction being unplayable supports an environment where the entire board chests and gangs up on players. Pathetic at best.
I love how black market connections on this channel just makes whoever plays it scramble to find a way to win the game in 5 turns lmao
I'm more irked with the phrase "full send", you're the one RECEIVING stuff, what're you sending to others?
@@LadyLunarSatine It's just an expression that means "Go All In"
I wish they would stop with the stupid full send. It was funny for a few weeks at most. Now it just ruins games
I just cant even get through half of these videos without loosing interest now. Another one bites the dust.
Anyone else realize the irony of revealing Vraska the Unseen?
There was literally no reason to "full send" every time with black market connections. That's not high power that's just bad play. Also, horrible threat assessment and deal making. Why would Craig agree to leave Josh's board untouched for a turn?! Completely one-sided deal. I'm by no means a great Magic player but this game had me shaking my head.
Sorry to say, but this was a really weak episode. Nobody played any removal, Jordan was way too greedy, and nobody hardly touched Josh for the entire game.
hi
Why is Josh, who is at 40 life and has a great board state, whining when Craig brings out a Steel Hellkite? Like do you seriously not want the guy to play his deck so you can go on playing yours. Jordan is at 9 life, how does Josh get away with this kind of politics?
It's much easier when you're the guy signing the paycheques.
Oh man, another game of JLK amassing a huge board state and advantage with minimal interaction from the table only for him to win. Cant say for sure but it really looks sometimes like JLK hates losing because he gets handed the game on a platter almost every time hes on. Boring.
Also poor Jordan man, guy had like one solid turn and then got reamed by the table as if josh wasnt the obvious threat
Why would Craig not attack Josh on his "last turn" with the Steel Hellkite and pay 5 and wipe his entire board? Makes way more sense than playing another creature at that point. Hold Firkraag as a blocker instead of attcking Jake with it. His last turn made absoulty no sense imo.
Because he had made a deal with Josh to not do that. Which yes bad deal. And this is one of the games with most obvious bad deals being made. But it is still a deal
Yea i enjoy some of these games srill but ive moved on to other mtg gameplay content creators like Scry Babies, Table Top Jocks and Commander at Home cuz they still feel genuine and the players are usually reasonable. This was a hard watch
I watch others too. I haven't actually watched an Extra Turns in quite a while, but oof...this episode was baaad.
Wow. Josh was absolutely ruthless.
Poor Jake, aside from stopping a couple things for the table, he didn't do ANYTHING for himself.... oooof
I think he torpedoed this whole game by countering Craig's Dragon Tempest. It's a strong card, but there was worse stuff going on around them and it totally made Craig focus on him.
I wonder if the decks were evenly balanced in power or not.
Josh got a lot of power out while Craig (no ramp) and Jake (no card draw) did very little. Jordan (no defenders) had a board but couldn't protect it so I wonder if it was just bad luck for the non-Joshes.
The decks just weren’t high powered
Glad I'm not the only person who thought dunking on Jordan there was pretty questionable.
Jordan should contact his attorney general after this blatant worker abuse -- dude did not deserve getting ganged up on
If I worked for Command Zone, Josh would always be public enemy number one... which is probably why I will never get given a job at Command Zone.
"High-Powered" Commander except we obliviously King-Make Josh to kill a "threat" player even though Josh was the threat player lmao. I stayed Subscribed for Rachel Weeks since she's awesome as heck, but this video is my final video for Command Zone, this is not fun to watch.
Same.
Just letting the big dog win again. No one targeted Josh at all.
The name of this series should be "who does the worst deal with Josh". Craig NEVER should had agreed a deal with Josh when Steel Hellkite arrived.
Im not sure i enjoyed this game as much there wasent good threat assement and jordan unecessarily taking absurd extra dmg from full sending
Mazirek and some of the other cards in that deck are great tech for the Frodo and Sam precon, glad I watched this episode.
ah yes, such "high powered" gameplay
High powered = expensive lands!! and bad threat assessment
@@loonakaydon’t forget the very well used expensive counterspells
I feel like I'd enjoy playing with three out of the four gentlemen sitting at the table in this game. The fourth one - not so much.
Josh has an uncanny ability to not be targeted even though they very clearly labeled him a threat from the get go. That is his supet power.
Please do not tell your audience these are high powered decks...
I don't understand why people still just haplessly and gullibly waltz right into deals predominantly termed by Josh. This made for a generic and boring game, the second the deal was accepted I knew it was over the next turn with Josh winning that I just tuned out. I guess it's hard to say no to a deal when the dude is responsible for your payroll, perhaps?
Hmm, nope not a particularly fun game to watch this time guys. Bad assessment, little interaction (and questionable targets “Mana Drain”), pressure applied where it was badly need elsewhere. For all the talk they do of how to handle games and treat players they really ignored it here.
Yea Josh just played solitaire this entire game while everyone else fought amongst themselves doing nothing about him. Craig using Obsidian Charmaw on Jake while he literally had nothing on board and double commander tax, sitting across from Josh with a massive board pretty much sums up this whole game.
Jake got. played by Josh... that steel hellkite, was there. saving grace.
some really weak plays.... why in the world would you bounce the planeswalker that going to ultimate and create creatures that don;t have haste? when you could just wait and overload it, especially when you see from the start that josh is the problem. and why would you keep making deals with clearly the strongest player and keep helping him
krim would be crying at all the green decks
The whining from Josh when the Helkite hit the board was really cringe to see
At one point I forgot Craig was there.
Friends don't let friends play Black Market Connections.
I don't care what anyone says, paying 6 life for black market connections each turn is not worth it.
"Lets cyc rift a planeswalker whos ability definitely wasn't going to come my way and was for sure going to target josh, instead of cyc rifting the table and destroying josh's board"
Seeing how counterspells are missused makes me sad :(
Dude wasted 2 cards for one dragon tempest lmao
Dude wasted 2 cards for one dragon tempest lmao
ngl dragons tempest is AMAZING in miiyrm, i totally get the counterspell. but mana drain on a 3cmc commander? idk bro
@@sunflowertheog it would’ve been smarter to just save the counter for miiyrim
@inyourwalls8134 using your logic, you'd be then going down 2 cards to have the opponent not even go down a card because their commander is always accessible. i understand we don't see dragons tempest the same way tho, i respect how u feel
This is episode is a great example to players understand that threat assessment is really important, here you see what to not do in a game. Ridiculous.
Josh was the problem the entire game and was almost universally ignored 😂
For all the people complaining that Josh won and you feel like he always wins, are you new here? Does he often have explosive and insane boards? Yes. But more than not he gets screwed and loses. Sooooo complain to complain i guess
This game looked fixed.
It was pretty easy to see that once Josh could get counters on all his creatures that he was the biggest threat. They didn't touch Josh but ganged up on the player that was killing himself.
Once again Jake looks like a terrible player dude countered a two drop and didn't hold cyclonic rift for late game plan B.
Worst game I've seen on here lately.
I think Josh being the boss is a conflict of interest. No one ever screws him. Ruins game dynamics.
🎶Fools' end!
🎶Fools' end!
🎶Fools' end!
What they did to Jordan was disgusting peer pressure and ganged up on him that's distasteful
Josh is feeling great this episode being able to yell full send at someone else at the table for once 😆
I'm personally sick of the full send, it's peer pressure to play badly. Just choose the options you need. The joke is old IMO.
I’m so over everyone always taking Josh’s deal when it literally only ever benefits him so boring
