"Yeah, this attack might not be ideal, but bear attacks rarely are", I freaking love Graham and his bear themed wit.
Yes, but it is just emBEARassing!
@@satschone how can you BEAR making these awful puns?
@@satschone ❤❤
What wit?
@@noahwick3217 do they BEAReave you?
I love that Josh keeps saying "WE need to deal with that hermit" while rolling up with yet another blue deck designed to do absolutely nothing but draw cards.
Josh was using the royal “we”.
Yep. Graham may have fumbled with not killing it, but Jimmy and Josh going "We should have killed it!" when neither of them did anything is just fun.
I still love Jimmy and Josh but yeah they need to help out if they want it gone that bad haha. But I absolutely respect the fact that while Graham was making his mistake they didn’t tell him how to play his deck.
@@jedbex7070
Both decklists have a reasonable amount of removal for the Hermit. Can't accuse them of not trying to help if the issue is that they didn't draw into it.
Classic Josh!
Kathleen figuring out how to utilize the Plane's static ability to get that extra Slimefoot loop is what players live for. Feel like an absolute genius when you see such a crazy line that results in victory.
"Maybe I should have killed the Hermit Druid" is certainly a sentence. Right up there with "Maybe I should've saved my counterspell for the Omniscience"
That second one I hear alot at my playgroup but they love omniscience 🤣
In fairness, an omniscience cast is pretty unexpected for a counterspell already spent on another threats. Hermit druid was on the board for TWO turns.
A lesson to us all, never let a hermit druid live.
I was kinda hoping to get a reverse oops, mill till 3 cards left in the deck...
Spoiler
Swords to plow shares/ sword of fire and ice target indead
Bolt the druid
@@stefanrichter5581 what?
The happiness on Kathleen's face after going into the think tank is probably one of my favorite things about playing Magic. The "I can do a thing and it's going to be awesome"
It would be great if it wasn't gifted to her by not killing druid.
Honestly at this point I really don't believe that was just a mistake. I think they just wanted to show a cool explosive combo. Not saying it was fully scripted, but they intentionally let a druid live.
@@pucifer92 and no one with any interaction during that huge turn, except Josh's token effort to draw a card, waaaaaay too late.
@@pucifer92 you've cracked the code
@@pucifer92 yeah. It clearly seemed that Graham killed Slimefoot and Squee on purpose. Furthermore Kathleen shouldn't have won that turn since Slimefoot and Squee had summoning sickness and couldn't attack, thus not giving her the much needed saproling to sac and bring back the commander.
@@paulosa8823 anger in the yard grants haste
I'm so glad Graham, Kathleen, and Josh invited Jimmy to watch them play Magic this episode. :)
Oh, and that Bearforce Two animation slayed me.
I feel like this happens a lot.
@@helios566 Josh doesn't let Jimmy play good cards lol
Lmao. You've gotta love Jimmy though. He's just fun.
pings fired
Kathleen took the ancient words of alex to heart....
"Just Jund em out"
Whoever thought of the Gore-claw and Surrak animation deserves a raise.
Graham did this to the table by not killing the damn hermit druid
Yyyyyyeeeeeeeppppp
I dont disagree with that but youd also think that two UBx decks would run any way to kill a 1/1. So yeah he had the ability to remove it but there were two heavy control colored decks at the table who shouldve had the ability to remove it
On purpose
Disagree. It's not your opponents' responsibility to remove a thing that threatens you. Everyone evaluates threats differently. Graham's evaluation being incorrect doesn't change that.
Scripteddd
"Syr Konrad crews the Phyrexian Arena" is the most goth thing to ever happen in mtg history
Phyrexian Altar*
Phyrexian Arena was the enchantment on Josh's board
Don’t forget by it’s side is a crewed up by saprolings medallion vehicle going at it’s owner face
Graham: That hermit druid is a problem to future Graham. Same with Slimefoot and Squee effect.
Future Graham: Why someone would ignore Hermit druid and kill Slimefoot and Squee? Guess i'll kill slimefoot and Squee again.
Future future Graham: Why someone would kill Slimefoot and Squee 2 times and leave Hermit druid alive!?
I feel like he helped her hard. It was basically 2 v 1 v 1
@@damo9961 i think he went in with the intention of, "oh i got some fame from being on the most watched episode of commander, lets let you have a win now". honestly just really really pointless episode. It seemed more than anything they hated planechase so much they tried to end the game as quickly as possible
@@Gorrgrim That's such a weird intention for anyone to have. Graham and Kathleen also don't even need the "fame" from being on their third episode of Game Knights. They do the Pre-pre-release for each set that comes out, also sponsored by WotC.
@@mathewsloat6848 not really weird, it's like letting your friend win a video game match after you just won the last match. Except this match will be watched by a million people. Regardless of good intent or not he really made this episode pointless
The way he was playing was un-bear-able
I mean not killing the druid was the fatal mistake, but good on Kathleen for seeing that line of play with crewing the artifacts, well played really!!
Crewing artifacts is another great way to add combat elements to your EDH Deck. It's just an extra layer to the game plan. Pretty brilliant
Thanks always for having us! Game Knights is such a fun time.
It's great to be here.
More games more games!
what a game!
Now we just need a Game Knights episode with Ben Foster and Ben Wheeler, and we shall then have the Loading Ready Run Council of Four. 😅
Maybe we get jimmy and josh on a future ppr together. I know theyve both been on but i dont think they were on together
That is the most "oops I win" combo I've ever seen! That lightbulb moment was everything 😂
Idk why but during the HelloFresh ad when they said "Don't eat the cards", I legit expected Josh to say "but eating the cards explains the cards"
i actually love how the crew keeps referring to jimmys bad hermit druid. it makes it feel so much better each time xD
As the mono black/Syr Konrad player of my circle, seeing Kathleen go god mode with Konrad at the end was the best thing ever!!
As I read this, Cathlean just played Konrad...this is gonna be good
Same bro same
That last move was the mightiest flex, and I loved it. Basically went "No, I don't think I will" in card form. So strong and peaceful.
My favorite part was when Syr Konrad said, "I'm the best knight printed in Eldraine", and El-drained everyone's life
The red one ain't bad either in a mono red storm deck. With her at the helm things get brutal real fast
Can we just talk about how the backgrounds for these episodes just keep getting more and more impressive
i was kinda hoping the background would change to the plane they were on from the planechase deck.
I personally miss the set design. Don't get me wrong, this looks cool, but I preferred when it was an attainable thing that someone could feasibly recreate in their own game room.
@@irishrunner27 Dude that would have been so cool, I guess thats asking too much though xD
@@jonahholdsworth5079 nah i get why, because they are still mid-invasion thematically, but still... maybe next time
Kathleen’s energy from 50:15 and on is the best thing I’ve seen on game knights so far
"I'd like to move to Combat now."
*Metal Music INTENSIFIES*
Jimmy referring to Graham and Kathleen as "some of our best friends on the planet" made me smile. No one can resists the Canadian charm of the LRR folks!
I can
Perfectly called Josh, "she was able to perfectly sequence out her plays to SQEE out a victory" 😅
Yo that animation for Goro-Goro and Satoru goes SO HARD!!!! Killing it as always command zone!
Was coming here to say the same thing, easilly the most impressive one I've seen on GK
It was Graham who killed it technically
JImmy innocently saying "Shootin' blanks" is hilarious
It can refer to shooting blank bullets, it doesn’t have to be sexual.
I remembered a famous line from LoadingReadyRun:
"Just Jund 'em"
And that's what Kathleen probably did.
“I will not be Jimmy Wong’ed!” Cracked me up!!!
Kathleens face when she realised she could take everyone out... was just perfect!
"Not only is it a bear, which is _inherently_ terrific..." lol well said :D
"Of all the things I hoped or thought might happen in this game, getting hit by my own Emerald Medallion was not on the list!" - Graham. God, I love Magic! 😂
Kathleen starts counting:
Me: umm...
Kathleen stops and raises her head, eyes wide open:
Me: haha. they're in danger!
Everyone knows that look. The "I read about this combo online and I actually have it" look.
Ralph wiggum!
@@helios566 I doubt very much that she read about that combo online 🙄
i read that as.... yeeeeaa its over she won ... dang it graham not killing hermit druid instead
So stoked for LRR to be back glad to see Graham looking healthier
What happened to Graham?
@@insainraven9875 i think we can talk about it as he was very open with it. he had cancer but end of last year he announced hes now cancer free and now he looks so much better so we can all just hope this nasty cancer stays away for good!
We ❤️ Graham
@@insainraven9875 he had cancer and beat it. There is a episode of Loading Ready Live where he tells the story at the very beginning
@@DaxRaider
Damn, that's rough as hell. Super happy that he's doing okay now.
Konrad is the best uncommon ever. I love Graham and Kathleen. This game ruled.
Demonic tutor says hi. Ancient tomb gives his regards. FoW feels passed
The game didn't rule. Everybody I know fucking despised this episode due to Graham's bullshit actions. They literally played as a couple and you get morons in the comments blaming Josh and Jimmy for not removing the hermit druid, as if they had a choice.
@@jacket2848 You and everyone you know need to go outside and get some fresh air and perspective.
Card has too many words. Haha. It just DOES EVERYTHING
Somewhere Jacob Bertrand is shedding a tear that Josh and Jimmy’s firm handshake worked this game
I BEARly survived that Bear Force 2 animation!! Amazing work as always Command zone team !!
That was an absolutely superb throw. Watching this game was a mix of laughter, fear, disbelief and a tinge of tilt
"thank you for having us Josh and Jimmy, it's great to be here"
The amount of joy I felt when I found out Graham was doing a bear deck again was wonderful. I still revisit the swan song of Bear Force One's victory
When the music changed when Kathleen started to combo was wild
Do you know what song played during the first round of apex altisaur fighting happened?
Graham is probably my favourite magic player out there.
Like sure, I learned Chaos from Jimmy and weird combos out of nowhere from josh, but the general energy of just doing your own thing and randomly things going really bad or really good without noticing is just inspiring.
Graham and Kathleen are a delight. They need to be on here more often.
Here's a fun idea for a game knights episode, a villans gallery episode where your commanders have to be a villan from magic the gatherings history, also, I only found this show recently and I love it, thanks for making such a great show.
Graham kind of handed her the win this game by killing slimefoot and squee twice
I don't believe for a second he didn't know what he was doing.
It was painful to watch honestly. Made me enjoy the game less 😅
For real. He gave it to her
Yeah honestly it really killed the experience for me. Like there’s no way he didn’t know how big a threat Hermit Druid was, yet chose not to kill it twice. Not to mention killing her commander twice which, again, exactly what she wanted.
Agreed, once may have been an honest mistake but twice….?
Goro-Goro and Satoru is the pinnacle of what I'd call a "Jimmy" card...
It can be a good Commander, man, you just have to build a fast deck with lots of evasive creatures!
You want a lot of unblockables, landwalks, fears, and HASTE!
Throw some Spirit tribal to the mix, you can pump all Spirits up and do shenannigans! 💪
Kathleen spotting that line, including the attack damage, is pretty amazing to watch!
That was hilarious how josh tried to delay the conrad trigger, but kathleen just put another on the stack
Planechase is my absolute favorite extra rule set especially during commander, so glad to see it in an episode.
I was just thinking about how amazing graham is. I got into friday nights when i was 9 and got hooked. Grahams personality and play style inspired me to play magic properly and its always awesome to see him play.
I am honestly not sure, if that comment is sarcastic or not after watching those lines of play from Graham.
@@ThorsShadow yes, truly poor threat assessment, basically threw the game for the table and king made by mistake.
Glad to see Planeschase had some impact on the game.
Good stuff!
Y'all's customized commercials are the best. Not only are they funny, they are also extremely relevant to your viewing audience. Thank you guys SOOO Much for doing something different from the standard RUclips ads, such a breath of fresh air.
I love how jimmys “shooting blanks” joke got no reaction 😅😅😢
Love Planechase. Love Kathleen and Graham. Loved the callbacks. Loved the complicated game win. Perfect game
As a Syr Konrad player I couldn't be happier with this outcome
Same bro
It makes me sad and i feel so guilty when Jimmy doesn't get to do much :( I hope he isn't discouraged
He did make one 5/5 Dragon! ...
i have noticed it's usually him that falls behind more often than not. Knowing it's a game of chance maybe that's all it is.. but i wonder if some deckbuilding changes could be helpful.
I'm glad Graham has the same sense of humor with the "look at the top card of your library..." line of text that I do.
“I will look at the top card of my library AS IS MY RIGHT”
its such a pleasure for my heart seeing graham looking so much better again.
always heartwarming seeing him with kathleen xD
I put the modern horizon episode on whenever I need great background episodes to watch and now I have this classic to watch too. So glad Kathleen and Graham are back in the command zone causing chaos and hilarity.
That was amazing! Kathleen was an amazing player and really came in at the end and took it home!
These animations are *everything*. Hats off the Command Zone team once again!
I'm suprised they didn't change the background animation to correspond with the plane. Planechase seems like the perfect chance for editing fun like that.
Probably is way too much work
The animation team has enoigh kn their plates as is and still do a great job IMO
Though if time and resources were limitless yeah for sure that would have been even more immersif
This would require not just a little more work, but an *insane* amount of extra work. We spent about 3-4 hours that morning of just fine tuning the single background we were able to create for this episode to look right, not counting the tons of hours beforehand to create the base asset. Even the thought of adding in one single change makes my head hurt. - jimmy
Imagination is always free. Lol
As a bear tribal player myself I couldn't be more proud to see the deck fly once more
I love how towards the beginning of the game. These two expert samurai are just... mauled by a bear... and die... I love Magic
Ngl, what a punt on graham's side of things. Also kinda feels bad that he wasnt allowed to backstep killing Slimefoot after it was EXTREMELY clear he didnt know what the heck it did
Problem is, you can ask the table, talk and/or read the card, specially when you've played with the same people before and when you have so much experience playing too. Backtracking plays isn't common in Game Knights either.
Oh he knew, he killed Slimefoot and Squee twice!
The worst part is i was hoping we'd get an longer episode this time, but this one didnt even clear an hour. Guess ill just have to wait for the next one in like a month 😥
That's actually what I like about Game Knights. It's a story, really, and to see sub-optimal plays stand adds to the story. We've all done it plenty of times.
@@StuffCraigLikes i mean fair enough, i just wished to could have seen more from the decks. We got maybe 3-4 cards in from the goro goro and satoru deck as well as the BF:2 deck before Kathleen killed everyone.
It's good to see Graham and Kathleen back again.
I think this is a successful pod because their play styles are very similar to a colour. Kathleen embodies black, Graham embodies green, Josh is a true blue player and Jimmy burns up too close to the sun in red. Love this pod
The best production of a mtg show I’ve seen yet love the animations 🔥🔥
Most players: wow these new transform cards are sweet! Josh: I got myself a legendary looter that definitely doesn’t have a super cool backside.
Your guyses best episode in a while good job! Extremely fun to watch seamed like everyone was doing good!
They production quality and the chances were awesome. The Command Zone team does such an amazing job every episode.
We all have a guy in our playgroup who doesn't target the hermit druid lol 😂
Glad graham and Kathleen are back again. It would be cool to see Ben and Wheeler on here
Oh please let us have this!
So I'm new this this channel and don't know how many games you do for each set, but I really hope we get another MoM match because that set is loaded with _a lot_ of great Commanders I'd love to see in this series.
They do one match of Game Knights for each set. They also release another series called Extra Turns that is less edited, but that one isn't themed around the new sets. So unfortunately, this is all we're getting until another set comes out.
@@cha0sniper Ah, that's a shame.
This might be my FAVORITE episode of Game Knights so far. Between the Goreclaw commander at the head of Graham’s bear force two (I use OG Goreclaw from Core Set 2019 as my commander irl, hence nostalgia) and the amazing sequencing for the win, this episode was so much fun to watch. Thanks for the awesome video ;)
Remember this as a lesson everyone, DON'T LET HERMIT DRUID LIVE!!!!!
man, everything was coming up Kathleen in this game. Gets massive hits off hermit druid, planes chased to two planes that greatly benefited her strategy, and managed to keep konrad on the field long enough to kill everyone in a series of swoops. The spirit of Jund is strong with Kathleen.
Don't forget being gifted the Emerald Medallion, helping her ramp out some of those Green creatures.
She just needed my boy piper of the swarm and darigraaz🥹
@@Wraithfighter true that. I thought it was funny how she turned graham's own medallion into a creature and swung at him with it 😆
@@jamesgratz4771 that would've been overkill 🤣
tbf konrad came out the turn that kathleen killed the table
I'm bummed Jimmy didn't get to do anything with Goro Goro and Satoru, as I'm really excited to build it myself, but at the same time it's kind of a good thing for me because there won't be a 'Game Nights effect' making key cards for the deck spike in price lol
Oh man, we used to play planeschase commander back in the day. Some of my friends hated it. I love it! Bring on on the chaos.
Graham - "Oh no, I did the thing my partner wanted! However did this happen?!?"
This video is a great example of miss playing a threat
I dont disagree with that but youd also think that two UBx decks would run any way to kill a 1/1. So yeah he had the ability to remove hermit druid but there were two heavy control colored decks at the table who shouldve had the ability to remove it
sick beats! Kat's win is what i fantasize doing with black drain life effects hahahaha
Rewatched the episode again after watching the Behind the Scenes VLOG from Graham. It's still amusing. Love seeing someone's engine doing what it's meant to do!
The way the music shifted when Josh realized they were all in deep, DEEP trouble made me giggle like a madwoman. Fucking excellent stuff from Kathleen.
Some truly bizarre decision making here
Shoutout to Graham and Kathleen for being the first couple to win Game Knights
Met Jimmy in person the other day, super nice guy! thanks for telling me about this show! Can't wait to dig in!
Oh man, that ending play was beautiful. Great work!
the Rona animation was on point! would pay to see that movie
I love how they introduce the new set in magic and only showcase four cards from that set.
Well… you want to win a commander game right? Gotta have those staples.
Great match, love the sequencing of the last turn, I wasn't expecting that outcome
25:56 it was this moment that they knew - "they're screwed".
This is so cool. Two of my favorite MTG Channels on RUclips at one table. Just the Professor is missing 😊
Would love to see a pod with one from each channel but including someone from the goldfish crew like Seth
I am so hyped to see Bear Force 2. Can't wait for BF3!
The editing on this episode was absolutely next level!!
Haven't even watched the episode and already these decks look awesome! They all seem on theme for each player
HELLL YEESSSSSS I love LRRMTG!!! GREAT to see them again!!
I love Kathleen’s enthusiasm ❤
Man “just Jund them” is one of the key pieces of advice I took from LRR and it actually worked here
I'd just like to say you run some really relevant and useful ads. I'm not in the US but I've used hello fresh and was happy with it, when they cooked the Quesedilla (sp?) without using a prep plate I knew they understood me. I try to recommend Keeps to people I think it might help.
Also I love how you explain everything without wasting time. I'm fairly experienced but I totally relate. You strike a really good mixture of appealing to new players and experienced players/watchers. You guys are amazing, thanks so much.
To clarify with what I'm certain would be a popular question, at 19:30, Graham gets two treasures from The Golden City of Orazca because he dealt damage to two different players. Yes, he dealt damage with one or more creatures, but he's dealing damage to multiple players, so he can get multiple triggers. It works just like how Professional Face-Breaker works.
