Esmond, I know the channel is yours and you've been making an excellent content. It shows how much work and commitment you put into this. I just wanna say that the most important assets are your friends. Paul have a cool style and Gabriel is really charismatic. Liang Ying is a creative madlad. And specially Matthew, who cannot buy all the cards(like most of us), but play with passion and dedication(congrats on the win btw). They are the backbone of this whole experience. We watch because you laugh and have genuine fun. Keep that in mind in the future when the channel growns even more. It's vital to value the true friendship that is built with respect and empathy. Wish all the luck and success in the world! Keep uploading.
Thanks for the kind words :) I treasure all of them and the fun we have and I am definitely keeping this in mind as the channel grows. My hope is that they will eventually join me to work on this channel full time!
Has to be one of my favourite videos yet. Matthew double damage and Gabriel protecting that Lion Sash. And top it all off with that failed wheel. Great job guys!
So, if you didn't know, Abdel can combo infinitely with Restoration angel. With Res Angel on the field, if Abdel comes into play, you exile Res Angel with it. Then, if you can flicker Abdel, because of the way targets are selected, they will flicker each other (and whatever else you want) until you chose to stop, creating infinite 1/1 soldiers and ETB triggers. The nitty gritty: because of the way Abdel is worded, his ETB trigger sets up a one-shot effect so that THE MOMENT he leaves, all exiled permanents return under their owners control. Because flicker exiles THEN returns, all the exiled permanents return BEFORE Abdel hits the battlefield. Then state based actions put Res Angel and Abdel triggers on the stack in that order, which is when targets are selected. So you select targets for Res Angel (targeting Abdel), then select targets for Abdel (targeting Res Angel). Abdel's trigger resolves first, exiling Res Angel. Then Res Angel trigger resolves, flickering Abdel. Then the whole thing repeats until you choose different (or no) targets! I built an Abdel deck, and I had to do a LOT of research to make sure I was playing it correctly. I learned a lot about state based actions and one-shot effects, and I love this interaction :)
9:51 So elesh norn actually CAN HELP crew the vehicle. You can essentially "overcrew" vehicles, as long as the total power of tapped creatures is the crew coat number. That would then allow you to blink the elesh norn with the boat.
Just want to say, the social aspects of your games make them the most fun of any similar group! And your video editor gets high praise too. DOUBLE COMPLIMENT!
my god, this is a great pod. hilarious. the double damage / emotional damage bit is one of my favs lol. man, I see you guys at least esmond sometimes are at magic cons, maybe I see you in vegas, maybe not? but either way great games guys. quickly becoming one of my top favorite magic channels XD its definitely the funniest
Man I really hate those basic lands you guys are using in this game, especially those plains though. That is hideous to me. Looks like moldy soup. The ones Gabriel is using I mean.

It’s always a good day when Esmond, Paul, Matt and the Chosen One are in a pod
Yes

I agree completely. The dynamic you have but more importantly the fun you guys have together is why I watch your commander videos
Very true and nice comment. I agree.
Also: SPOILER ALERT >:O
This pod is God tier. Matthew is an absolute gem of a player. I hope you all never change.
Hahahhaa thanks!
This show had double the production value… thank you for such a wonderful start of my day, cheers and love and laughter to you all!
Thanks!

Hahahaha yeah it was a pretty awesome episode
17:32 The Chosen One+Paul alley-oop 😂👌

You guys are by far my favorite magic group to watch. The chemistry and friendship you guys have is great to watch
0:13 this intro had me laughing so hard idk why. You guys are just so silly i love it
9:51 So elesh norn actually CAN HELP crew the vehicle. You can essentially "overcrew" vehicles, as long as the total power of tapped creatures is the crew coat number. That would then allow you to blink the elesh norn with the boat.
Oh yeah oops, what I meant was she couldn't crew it alone
Just want to say, the social aspects of your games make them the most fun of any similar group! And your video editor gets high praise too.
DOUBLE COMPLIMENT!
Hahahaha thanks! I (Esmond) am actually the only editor here lol
I'm so glad I randomly found you guys from Reddit. You're my favourite MTG players to watch.
Oh thanks! I should start posting there again lol
32:00 That stare. That's my favorite paul moment.
Ooh, Ovika. Spicy. I'm very interested to see how Paul's list differs from mine 👀
Should be quite different unless yours is a budget build as well
my god, this is a great pod. hilarious. the double damage / emotional damage bit is one of my favs lol. man, I see you guys at least esmond sometimes are at magic cons, maybe I see you in vegas, maybe not? but either way great games guys. quickly becoming one of my top favorite magic channels XD its definitely the funniest
I starting watching yall yesterday. And I'm still watching cuz yall funny as hell to watch.
Haha thanks!!!
Fun as always, really love the game play videos!
Glad you like them!
This episode was hilarious, great work as always.
Take a shot every time Paul says "that makes sense"
Man that Scavenger Grounds. What a play. XD
This is my favorite pod of players from this channel
Paul saying ....this is true had me laughing so much!
14:16 If you stack the triggers so restoration angel blinks before the exile, no one gets the first tokens
Came here just to add that same comment too. :)
Insert yo momma joke: Yo momma is so big when she sat down on the couch, the couch yelled DOUBLE DAMAGE!!!!
*sees Matthew playing mishra* finally my prayers have been answered!
Yay!
So happy to see Matthew back!
Nice plays, awesome to see a Balan build, but that Lion Sash really be doing the heavy lifting
Just joined your community. great game yall were really fun to watch!
Thanks!!!
Nice that Matthew got his justice, after being taken out too quickly in the last game.
Return of THE CHOSEN ONE!!
Hell YEAH
Yes, more Matthew please!
Ok
Gabriel was wandering and got lost 🗺️🗺️🗾🗾🗾 Great game and it’s good to see Matthew 🔥💯
Fun game. I enjoyed it double as much as I usually do.
This is fun to watch...seriously
31:17 why 8 goblins? You can not flashback it bcs it got exiled, no?
Spent a good while shouting for Gabriel to cast balance and equip the sash so it stops being an eligible target for all that creature removal
Haven't started the match yet but with Esmond on monowhite over/under on how many phasing spells he has to protect his board 🥸
Yes.
Anyone know what life counter they re using?
FINALLY A NEW VIDEO
FINALLY
It's an Air Ship!
I know right
Great pod
Which app do you use as lifecounter?
What life counter app is that?
Goblin Matron no get Muxxus ?
Sheesh needing a wheel and choosing 3 is risky business lol
Especially when you aren’t even being attacked
I know right. Tsk
i thought the ship had flying too
Double the matt double the views....
Double the comments
I don't think Gabriel has ever won while claimed by The Chosen One.
I thought Chosen One got at least one victory.
He won on the Capenna video playing the guy who cares about weenies didn't he
Doesn't matter, he's already chosen
Which Life counter Phone app do you guys use?
Moxtopper
Chosen one hours are back 🤩
If I like AND comment on the video, that's double damage
Thats RIGHT
When you spells don't get to do double damage 😞😩
Yo, I loved the style of that life tracker app! What is the name of it?
Moxtopper
Douuuble Daaamage 🔥🔥
Where is Asher?
Much love to you all!
Also the giddiness i got seeing the Chosen One playing was heartfelt. Long may he prosper
Thanks! Right back at you :)
Matt needs another chance with new etali
IM HERE FOR MATT
jetmir please😊
"I'm in danger"
I see balan wandering waifu edh I click. And it's piloted by the Chosen One
Reading The Card Explains The Card
Yes

Esmond is in the wrong seat. Thats illegal. Mirror the whole video, no one will notice
Hahahahaha we did this to mess with you
I don't understand!
Aww no Balan List
Double damage
😁💯😎
Y’all just bullied Gabriel the entire game and it was kinda sadge to watch.
Man I really hate those basic lands you guys are using in this game, especially those plains though. That is hideous to me. Looks like moldy soup. The ones Gabriel is using I mean.
