It's always interesting seeing either of the Game Knights guys on a non-Game Knights show and format. As much as I enjoy both shows and can appreciate that amount of work that goes into them, the mid game narration being absent is refreshing
Especially since Game Knights have really weird timing on their editing - you'll see the table for 9/10ths of someone's sentence, then a cut to the face for the very tail end? For a show that puts so much effort into editing, decisions like those are SO weird
I think it makes it less reality show and more playing wit your homies. Both have their appeal. And the cheese on GK is hilarious. But Olivia and Brian’s joined persona of commander has been such a blessing on content as a whole!!
Honestly I love both formats so much even though they are so different in many ways. When I started with commander a year ago Game Knights really helped so so much to understand the cards/what was happening. I would not have been able to keep up otherwise. The more you get into it, the easier it becomes to also follow more casual formats like this one that feel more real in some sense. Both have their place and I hope commander at home will continue to bring out great content like this one! Thanks :)
@@savinobalducci6148 like how Josh is dubbed the “Mayor of Value Town” they play into characters, Jimmy is chaotic character who go often takes a bunch of damage and costs himself the game more often than not.
@@savinobalducci6148 and how the whole show now just feels super scripted (because it half is) and honestly a bit fake in the interactions now just to try up production value. Like compare some of their latest episodes to the first 2 or 3
Jimothy is always great to watch. Such a great vibe. But I do wanna note how fun it is to see Jimmy in Commander content outside of CommandZone and Game Knights. This is not a criticism of their content in any way, but their style is so much more production-heavy and performative, that seeing him in a very casual game and environment with lots of chitchatting is very fun and refreshing!
The moment at 1:02:47 when Brian goes "there's four of them" and Olivia just whispers a "F*CK OFF" between her tears of laughter is so incredible. Very entertaining as always, love to see Jimmy outside of the Command Zone!
I really appreciated Jimmy in this game. You got to see how chill he is. He does the thing I do, where he works with the other players to figure out the puzzle of the best play...even if that play is killing him.
Returning to this video to say that Mr. Kibler you have inspired me to build my own Chiss-Goria deck and now my table targets me every time for it. 10/10 video as always and keep up the good work.
I think this is my favorite mtg channel now. Just the energy and vibes that olivia and Brian bring along with whoever they have as a guest that episode are absolutely amazing! I am curious to see what happens behind the scenes with those 2 though regarding like how they share cards and deck build together and all that, would be super interesting to see an episode like that in the future how a mtg powercouple like them go about things like that :) great work yall and keep it up!
That was by far my favorite episode so far. Jimothy and Jimmy are always awesome to see as guests on a show. There's just something totally different about Jimmy when he's on a show other than Game Knights that makes it even more interesting to watch.
That was a lot of fun! It's great seeing really level-headed players like Jim and Jim not get heated over their board getting wiped, stuff getting destroyed, being attacked, etc.
Love commander at home! Might be my new favorite commander show. Always learning good lines of play from Kibler. This was another fun episode and can’t wait to see more in the future!
Know this video is from a year ago lmao but I love rewatching y’all’s videos so much. I doubt you’ll see this, but y’all bring me so much comfort and just listening to y’all playing magic helps my mind calm down lmao 😂, but thank you guys so much for creating such interesting content even where I can go back and watch episodes multiple times. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to more episodes moving on
Y'alls intro sequence is so hype. Thank you for providing us with this great entertainment. It makes my drive home much better after a long day. Love seeing new episodes on my feed.
I love this series so much and I cannot wait to see more. Was thinking that I wanted more Brian and/or Olivia content and then saw the channel pop-up. Easily my new way to watch commander games. Very casual and I love the vibes.
the intro music is super real, makes me think of family/friends love and happiness but also reminds me of the people I lost in my life, all in one small bit. then it goes to the warm feeling of playing a game together. first 30 seconds are always an emotional rollercoaster. love it and hate it
Great game plus I like looking at all the random MTG stuff decorating the room. Like the Unhinged Swamp wallscroll and that sweet Sword of Feast and Famine replica hanging on the wall. Makes for a very sweet game room!
Loved seeing the Jims! I'm a big Spike Feeders fan, and Game knights was my first foray into watching EDH on RUclips. Every time "it's getting late" was said, I'd see the hanging art of the swamp and think it was a window, and how dark it was outside. 🤦 Great game as always!
This was hilarious game. Even when Brian is getting hated on , still laughing and having a great time. Everyone has a blast and good time. Keep up the great content ! Love the doggos!!!
48:34 that would be illegal mana to float from three lands, because the ancient triples the mana ability effect, each taps for three, meaning it has to be 6 green 3 red (or 3 and 6, or all either color depending on which lands were tapped for it exactly)
Thank you! I am looking forward to your next recorded game! Also, thanks to the guests for coming. I am scared of dogs and I would be terrified to be in the company of those adorable puppies. Very brave guests.
When are we renaming this show to the "Brian is the Archenemy Show." I love what you have created, this is such fun content with consistently great personalities.
Returning to MtG after about 15 years and this is my fav commander channel. I saw another with people talking into the camera like it was a reality tv show and thought it was over-produced and cheesy.
Fun fact The channel with commander games that play out like a reality TV show is run by Jimmy (playing Raggadragga) and his partner Josh. At least they started the channel and it has grown into a team of MTG enthusiasts.
I've watched Commander games on about ten other channels. Every one of them has a good game on them. But this channel is the one that consistently feels like a real, unscripted Commander game between friends. I would be excited to play with a number of MTG RUclips personalities, but I'd really want to do it at THIS table, because it feels like the best one. Thanks for the great content. You've gained a subscriber, and when I revisit my Patreon subscriptions in November, I'll have you guys on the shortlist.
I just love Oko being included so much cause it reminds me of my commander at home where my dog demands that at least one player be loving her at all times. It's now well known in my group if we are playing at my house you must be willing to love on the dog if she chooses you that night. Also Oiliva and Brian are so much relationship goals rn
As a mono-green enthusiast, I must say Chiss-Goria brings me back to my first "new set ever" of OG Mirrodin. "Affinity for artifact" must be my favorite line of text ever printed. I also do not play Crater oofed... I am an adult.
"Here I am, making sure you play by the rules to my own detriment." "I'm not a foil fan in general." Never have I so thoroughly identified with Brian Kibler.
I literally just ordered copies of Kamahl and Jeska for my deck two hours before I saw this upload. Very excited to see my deck outclassed before I can even build it.
"There's literally nothing but green and red in any of these decks; so they're basically just monocolor for me since I am color blind" I chose the wrong time to take a drink of my Dark n' Stormy. Do you have any idea how much Ginger beer + Kraken rum and lime run hurts to come out of the nasal passage?!?! 🤣
@@commanderathome that is freaking awesome!!!! I really like the concept because this is how things were when I first started playing. I mean there wasnt commander but it would just be me and some friends from the neighborhood getting together playing some games and shooting the breeze...you know like kitchen table magic. Its easier to see what is going on with arena...but you lose a lot of what makes magic a great game and that is the comraderie and sharing a hobby that is really freaking fun!
13:26 just an FYI, when you cast your commander with Path of Ancestry you would be able to scry, it doesn't have to be a non-commander to scry in this way. Only mentioning it because PoA is a favorite of mine, budget color fixing land that gives you more value with scrying.
I definitely NEED this Duel of the Fates deck list, I do this myself all the time when I see a name that fits, would love to see a comprehensive list!!
38:15 The card i used to play wrong, and everyone believed it was Sphinx of the Second Sun. I made the classic mistake of untapping during the second main phase, rather than right before endstep.

@@greggbot yeah, it can be jarring at times. I get that they're putting on a production but I usually prefer Extra Turns
I think it makes it less reality show and more playing wit your homies. Both have their appeal. And the cheese on GK is hilarious. But Olivia and Brian’s joined persona of commander has been such a blessing on content as a whole!!
@@GrinningFeline It's great to watch and feels more natural

I love seeing Jimmy just play magic like he’s a quite chill and smart player, unlike in game knights where he feels a bit like a cartoon character.
"like"?
what do you mean by he feels like a cartoon character?
@@savinobalducci6148 like how Josh is dubbed the “Mayor of Value Town” they play into characters, Jimmy is chaotic character who go often takes a bunch of damage and costs himself the game more often than not.

He’s the exact same as he always is
Jimmy trying to concentrate on his turn while olivia just melts over oko just perfectly sums up the two of them
21:00
Thank you Brian and Olivia for this series. I smile every time an episode releases!
Jim’s quiet and witty humor is honestly so funny.
Jimothy with the “Just here vibing” quote was hilarious
Jimothy is always great to watch. Such a great vibe. But I do wanna note how fun it is to see Jimmy in Commander content outside of CommandZone and Game Knights. This is not a criticism of their content in any way, but their style is so much more production-heavy and performative, that seeing him in a very casual game and environment with lots of chitchatting is very fun and refreshing!
Came for the Jims. Stayed for the floofs.
Left for the dad jokes.
I Already saw it coming that Brian would put the dog on the table and say you would attack him would you 😭
@@pieterpluijmers3073 Such emotional manipulation!
My favorite episode so far. Ready for an episode featuring JLK and the Professor. The banter between the 4 of them alone would be gold!
This is what we need.
Are you from the future?
Brother is livin 9 month ahad of time...
More of the Jims please! They bring really great banter to the table. ❤
The moment at 1:02:47 when Brian goes "there's four of them" and Olivia just whispers a "F*CK OFF" between her tears of laughter is so incredible. Very entertaining as always, love to see Jimmy outside of the Command Zone!
I want "I Don't Play Craterhoof In My Decks Cause I'm An Adult" on a shirt ASAP 😂😂😂
I’d buy it.
I'd buy that too
@commanderathome make this happen.
and on the back "Summer Magic '23: Alumni"
all of the fog/spore frog/darkness/phase out effects
Where do I get my "I Play Craterhoof In My Decks Because I'm A Child" shirt?
I really appreciated Jimmy in this game. You got to see how chill he is. He does the thing I do, where he works with the other players to figure out the puzzle of the best play...even if that play is killing him.
Jimothy is such a treasure. Thanks for having him on! Was so glad to meet him and Olivia at MTG Summit last year.
I absolutely love the atmosphere on this show. It feels like this is a game you would stumble onto at your LGS just naturally
Returning to this video to say that Mr. Kibler you have inspired me to build my own Chiss-Goria deck and now my table targets me every time for it. 10/10 video as always and keep up the good work.
38 and only just found out about this. Right up my street. Love watching and trying to learn as much as possible. Great channel
I think this is my favorite mtg channel now. Just the energy and vibes that olivia and Brian bring along with whoever they have as a guest that episode are absolutely amazing!

Man those first 15 minutes had me in stitches. The Gamble talk, the Jimothy Jeska play. Bro. This was hilarious
Wow, this was a really good episode. Also loved how the dead players still teamed up to "assist" on the decisions and nice discussion about the game.
That was by far my favorite episode so far. Jimothy and Jimmy are always awesome to see as guests on a show.
There's just something totally different about Jimmy when he's on a show other than Game Knights that makes it even more interesting to watch.
Awww Oko’s adorable!! Also BOTH Jimmy and Jimothy? YEEEEES! This episode was so much fun to listen to
Not ten minutes into the video and Olivia's already branded Kibler the Villain - This is going to be a good one
That was a lot of fun! It's great seeing really level-headed players like Jim and Jim not get heated over their board getting wiped, stuff getting destroyed, being attacked, etc.
Love commander at home! Might be my new favorite commander show. Always learning good lines of play from Kibler. This was another fun episode and can’t wait to see more in the future!

This is the table we love. All gold all the time. Jim’s deck is hella sweet, pops off every single time
Y'alls intro sequence is so hype. Thank you for providing us with this great entertainment. It makes my drive home much better after a long day. Love seeing new episodes on my feed.
Get some LoadingReadyRun guys in there. I wanna see Ben Wheeler and Serge Yager in this.
Just imagined Wheeler using Oko as a hat and just being natural about it 😂😅
@@RossDouglas82 😆😆
YES, Wheeler needs to come on
I personally want Ben Ulmer. (Well I really want Graham, but Graham already does so much)
North 100 Showdown taking over all the MTG RUclips content.
I love this series so much and I cannot wait to see more. Was thinking that I wanted more Brian and/or Olivia content and then saw the channel pop-up. Easily my new way to watch commander games. Very casual and I love the vibes.

These cups can hold a lot of tears!
I'm just dying from laughing over here!
Great banter, great game, great show :D
28:34 (Inside Oko’s mind) “Father……Father, what madness is this?”
I 100% stole Olivia's command zone Steez. Love that method very obvious when your Commander is in the CZ
Also the music choice is like 10/10 and thank you for showing how much fun commander can be without everyone just combo-ing out every game.
First one of these I’ve watched, so much fun. Much more relaxed than most commander content.
Great game plus I like looking at all the random MTG stuff decorating the room. Like the Unhinged Swamp wallscroll and that sweet Sword of Feast and Famine replica hanging on the wall. Makes for a very sweet game room!
Loved seeing the Jims! I'm a big Spike Feeders fan, and Game knights was my first foray into watching EDH on RUclips.
Every time "it's getting late" was said, I'd see the hanging art of the swamp and think it was a window, and how dark it was outside. 🤦
Great game as always!
Chishiro was my first ever commander deck. It got me into Magic. Glad to see it get some love
Same!
This was hilarious game. Even when Brian is getting hated on , still laughing and having a great time. Everyone has a blast and good time. Keep up the great content ! Love the doggos!!!
My wife and I are so jealous of your home set up and that you so many wonderful people to play commander at home this would be a dream for us 😊
48:34 that would be illegal mana to float from three lands, because the ancient triples the mana ability effect, each taps for three, meaning it has to be 6 green 3 red (or 3 and 6, or all either color depending on which lands were tapped for it exactly)
The C@H theme is an absolute banger...for no reason...I'm so happy I found the show
Thank you! I am looking forward to your next recorded game! Also, thanks to the guests for coming. I am scared of dogs and I would be terrified to be in the company of those adorable puppies. Very brave guests.
I’m so glad to learn that someone else out there also says card names to the tune of Duel of the Fates.
hearing Olivia say i love you and they are playing a game of magic as they say all is fair in love&war XD
Nothing like saying you love someone while indicating to everyone else they're the biggest threat and to unite against them. Classic roommates.
nothing beats getting home from work to watch a commander at home game and relax
52:41
Blocking a 2/2 menace with wormcoil and gearhulk doesn't gain you life because the 2/2 is dead on first strike.
Thank you.
When are we renaming this show to the "Brian is the Archenemy Show." I love what you have created, this is such fun content with consistently great personalities.
the intro to these episodes are always so chill and welcoming.
Returning to MtG after about 15 years and this is my fav commander channel. I saw another with people talking into the camera like it was a reality tv show and thought it was over-produced and cheesy.
Awesome. I'd also recommend The Spike Feeders if you are interested in a bit more competitive edh. That channel is great as well!

Love both Jim's. Great episode. The echo alia thing was hilarious. The insane dog cult on the other side of table is lucky they get great guests..
The episode release day is absolutely the most waited for me. Just love the vibes ♡♡♡
Commander at Home is basically couples therapy and Olivia is taking out some aggression on Brian lmao
I just love Oko being included so much cause it reminds me of my commander at home where my dog demands that at least one player be loving her at all times. It's now well known in my group if we are playing at my house you must be willing to love on the dog if she chooses you that night.

So much fun to watch this episode! can't wait to see prof as guest
Would love to see art of Beast Whisperer as Brian and your wonderful doggo :)
Nice 😊
Another fantastic episode with some awesome guests in the finest of Jims and Jimmys. Thanks for another one to
B-KIbs and The OG!
As a mono-green enthusiast, I must say Chiss-Goria brings me back to my first "new set ever" of OG Mirrodin.
"Affinity for artifact" must be my favorite line of text ever printed.
I also do not play Crater oofed... I am an adult.
First time seeing this channel and i must say i love the intro! Really gave me that wholesome feeling!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING DECK LISTS!
WE FINALLY GOT OUR ACT TOGETHER lolol cheers!!
Really love the interactions between kibbler and Olivia. Game, relationship, flirt, cute, punch face, it’s wholesome
I don't think I noticed how much the intro slaps until now, shout out to whoever made it
"Here I am, making sure you play by the rules to my own detriment."
"I'm not a foil fan in general."
Never have I so thoroughly identified with Brian Kibler.
Olivia, I'm gonna need the Duel of the Fates deck list when you get it done because that is a SPICY theme.
it's ridiculous! the untrimmed "list" is here scryfall.com/@goberthicks/decks/5b7ef877-138f-459a-ae4e-164a4c0a7624
This was a lot of fun! Really enjoy this series
I literally just ordered copies of Kamahl and Jeska for my deck two hours before I saw this upload. Very excited to see my deck outclassed before I can even build it.
“Go cry into your giant cups” 😂 haha I’m dead.
Ah yes another episode of Olivia convincing everyone that Brian is the biggest threat at the table 😂
The puppy is so cute. I love how he laughs and pet the dog at the same time
So much fun to watch such a swingy game and I’m so glad this pod was so much fun too!
This show is a light for me. You guys are awesome. WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT? thanks for the videos.
Oko is a pom mix, and Ellie is a maltipoo
@@commanderathome ty for response!!!!!!
also watch edh so huge fan of olivia as well!
"You played a land for turn, we are proud of you", said Jimmy Wong, after missing his land drop two turns in a row.
1:09:45 I love the look into Jims deck there :D
"There's literally nothing but green and red in any of these decks; so they're basically just monocolor for me since I am color blind"
I chose the wrong time to take a drink of my Dark n' Stormy. Do you have any idea how much Ginger beer + Kraken rum and lime run hurts to come out of the nasal passage?!?! 🤣
Will never stop loving this channel!
You should get a little basketball basket for that die haha! Great show btw, love the positive, fun and casual vibe. :)
Building Chiss-Goria now, perfect with this episode right now!
the dog letteraly staring in to your soul at 28:17
this is a great group....lots of good banter....wait a minute....the dogs name is OKO! the Trickster!!!!! yeah subscribed
The other is Elspeth :)
@@commanderathome that is freaking awesome!!!! I really like the concept because this is how things were when I first started playing. I mean there wasnt commander but it would just be me and some friends from the neighborhood getting together playing some games and shooting the breeze...you know like kitchen table magic.

Seeing people having fun like this reminds me why I want to be one of the very lucky fans on gameknights , commander at home fan event???
this was great. YOu guys are all so much fun to watch. More like this please!
Wooow! I wish I were invited, that intro was incredible
I cackled at “oh yeah next turn was a platinum angel” literally can’t give this man a single turn to breathe lmao

This is honestly my favourite Commander show keep it up❤❤🎉
21:47 is the best thing i've seen for a while haha
"..But you have to read all of the words and sometimes thats hard." That hits me so hard. hah
I definitely NEED this Duel of the Fates deck list, I do this myself all the time when I see a name that fits, would love to see a comprehensive list!!
One of my new must watches. I need a episode with JLK and Prof now
Cool that despite being 3 Gruul and a Red deck they were all trying different ways to SMASH. Fun match, awesome guests and hosts, great episode!
Two great guest, great match and Kibler archenemy should be the name of the show 😂
I loved how Olivia's sleeves matched with her hair this episode!
Bonus points for actually putting Jimothy in the title.
38:15 The card i used to play wrong, and everyone believed it was Sphinx of the Second Sun. I made the classic mistake of untapping during the second main phase, rather than right before endstep. It was way stronger that way, but even playing it the real way, it is VERY good in draw go or other instant speed stuff.
By far one of my favorite episodes thus far
Smoke's spirit aid is SO SWEET in Hinata
thats gas
I am so glad for this. I needed it this week 😊
