    This was the funniest game of Magic the Gathering i ever had the joy of watching. Point blank.
    the gifting back of the Pact was hilarious.
    When the last trigger of Demonic Pact was about to resolve, i was really suprised, that the Prof didnt just pass back instantly. I paused the video during his turn and was suprised of how long the video still goes and thought there would be a lot of talking at the end, but jokes on me i guess, the game just started. Incredible how Ken just had every out at the right moment, even though i thought every time there was nothing that could get him outta there. And then he actually won, amazing.
    But i still have to give the award for the jankiest Deck to the firebreathing-pile, cause it had by far the jankiest commander and the overall strategy was total jank aswell.
    Thanks for the great video, this was awesome.

They played the game and in the end it was as enjoyable as you want out of a game of commander.
