Texas Dice That leads to an interesting idea: greatest hits. Instead of best prior decks, each player builds a deck around as many cards as possible that have turned the tide of a previous game (for better or worse).
"I'm running Mengara because I need to remove permanents at legendary speed" Just ran into this episode, never watched one before. Yup, gotta watch'em all now
Jon's deck reminded me of an Atraxa build I put together a while back whose sole goal was to make, charge and utilise as many copies of Lux Cannon per turn as possible in this gigantic orbital laser array. Stuff like imprinting Lux Cannon onto a Prototype Portal with a Doubling Season and Unwinding Clock in play and a bunch of mana rocks etc. It didnt really work sadly as it was too slow and far too fragile, but the mental imagery was great. "Commander Atraxa." "Yes Ma'am?" "See that woodland down there that belongs to the rebel elven nation?" "I do ma'am." "I don't want to." "Understood ma'am." *Pew! pewpew! pew! pew! pew!*
You guys should each play with one of the Swords as your commander (body and mind/feast and famine/etc) and either use the colors they have protection from, or don't use the colors they have. You guys decide.
This episode was one of the funniest I have ever watched. The puggernaut sleeve 'altercation' was hilarious. Jeremy's face was the best. Justin: "But Kyle told me: whoever kills Jeremy first gets the puggernaut sleeves for the rest of the time." Jeremy: "WHAT!?!" - Also, I was familiar with the tootsie pop legend, though the one I heard went 1 step further: The Kid shooting the star was 1 point, and the kid playing football was 2 points. - I am again going to recommend Chainer, Dementia Master.
This was a fantastic and entertaining video, and I absolutely loved it! I have heard of the tootsie pop star wrappers before; Jeremy and Stephen are not crazy.
Munetsugu Takeno (who was already like 80 by the end of the Kami War) died protecting his lord Konda when O-Kagachi broke through Eiganjo Castle. It was a pretty gruesome death, but, man, if anyone deserves to have Day of Destiny's flavour text attribute to them, it's General Takeno.
I'm commenting 2 minutes into the video and this is already up there with the mystery deck episodes as my favorites! Thanks guys, I love weird themes and abstract generals is amazing!
Interesting episode. One of my friends down at my LGS actually has a Legacy Weapon deck, except he built it as the Weatherlight and its crew. It's actually pretty decent, since Captain Sisay can grab a lot of potent cards and the Weapon itself is a good backup for when you have mana to burn later in the game. He also has a book tribal deck which is actually pretty effective. Justin's deck was really interesting to watch. Overextension be damned, lol
Wes had contacted me and said he was going to play a deck I suggested(Tomorrow) for the season finale, but then he moved and couldn't film that final episode. so if they do a Wes Tribute episode I hope somebody plays the final Wes deck that never got played.
U know when I was at work today I was thinking that it would be cool if u guys did like an all enchantment or artifact that are noncreatures as commanders. Thx for this!! Just finished it and loved it!!! Do it again!!
Dear Stephen: The most fun and interesting way I have seen a ronas deck built is mono green control using fight cards and lures to let you wipe boards with ronas because death touch and indestructible are a good combo. PLEASE DO THIS! Dear Justin: I'm sorry for your loss of getting mono red. Enough said. Dear Jon: Tokens? I guess? Or you can go Voltron. She does have double strike. Dear Jeremy: Scorpion god is really fun. It's a great control commander that gives the color combination great source of card draw. Dear director Kyle: I didn't want you to be left out, so here you go. :D
I have been watching this series since Mcdarby and West, but man, that legacy weapon was sweet. I think this was the best episode I have ever seen from this channel.
After seeing many a commander VS through the years, I'd honestly love to see you guys play your favourite card in magic as your commander, maybe it's okay for Meren to make her third appearance if she really needs to. I love seeing Jeremy's decks, but I feel like you're not as threatening as you can be, got a bit land starved but I saw the cards in hand towards the end with the camera, all gas :( Big fan of the show though, keep it going fellas.
(Before game starts but after intro and points and stuff) That was hilarious! Jeremy - "What is this nonsense? You know I'm your boss right?" Give Director Kyle a promotion man. It takes cohones to mess your boss like that XD
Man, I love watching John play and stuff, but I'm not upset he got knocked out that turn. If he hadn't we would've watched another whole hour of him exiling peoples lands and stuff...great video loved it guys!
Remember Tiny Leaders? Our playgroup came up with an idea somewhat based on that: Fat F***s: every spell must cost 5 mana or more! We played it a few times and it's hilarious.
I would love to see the following for the season finale Justin: Toshiro Umezawa Jon: Sidar Kondo/Tymna the Weaver hate bears Stephen: The Scarab God Jeremy: Archangel Avacyn
18:20 Small thing but Jeremy didn't utilize his unwinding clock the very first turn he cast it. Why not swing with the copter for damage and loot? He said he liked his hand but cards in the graveyard are still added value in EDH.
you know a Commander game is good when Salón del Señor de los bandidos is a deciding factor, especially when it's letting you do a Trench Run to take down a Death Star. anyhow, same old, same old from me, someone play Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar. Steven you seem to have found another way to troll by using Kamigawa cards, and mono blue puts you into a relyable color to play mill as well.
i have a mono black zombie home brew that id love to see one of you guys play. itll need more meat on it, not quite at the 100 card mark, but i think itd be cool to see how you guys fill it.
The four of you should play commanders that let you use other peoples' decks as your own (Jelava, Sen Triplets, Memnarch, Wrexial, Play Villainous Wealth, etc) and all use Shared Fate to play the others' decks. Would also be best if you didn't share decklists with each other until after recording. Keep up the quality content.
30:34 I may have been taught incorrectly, but I was taught that an X spell retains a CMC of 0 at all times, or the X itself will always count as 0, I know when searching for a card by CMC the ballista counts as a 0, but I thought that it also counted as a 0 when on the stack and being paid for
This is amazing. I wish this was legal in non casual environments. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES. Also, go Jonathan Suarez! Justin, you may be really pretty, but Jonathan has my inner fangirl.
Where can we submit requests for commanders to play? I'd like to see Sakiko, Mother of Summer as a commander. I've seen a budget Sakiko deck be explosive, creating a bunch of massive creatures in single turns.
great game. definitely took a turn in the end. i thought jon was going to win. is it just me or was justin establishing dominance a "it's always sunny" quote? either way, it made me think of that ;) anyway i would like to see "show and tell" be played and if i dont get to see it played then i will come down on thee like the hammer of thor. the thunder of my vengeance will echo through these corridors like the gust of a thousand winds!!! please and thanks
The star of the show was really jon. He did more work removing cards and holding down the board. Legacy Weapon is beast. Wish i still had one. Wish i could play my Para Navigator deck against you guys.
There were the 10 cent boxtops from general mills goods (cereal, eggos, poptarts, etc.). Which you would collect and give them to your school and they would send them off to get money (my teacher would throw them out since I was the only one contributing). The tootsie-pop owl commercial predates me as a person and every now and then I still see it you've gotta watch it!!!.
How about playing EKH (Eldar Keyword Highlander)? Every card in you decks has to have at least one Keyword (like flying or trample or cycling) without repeating a single Keyword. It is really fun to build. And who ever plays the most unique keywords throughout the game gets a point.
Uhhh... you guys made it very clear that we should like, comment, share, and subscribe, but my friends and I are all subscribed already so I'm not sure who I'd share this with.... I'll just like and comment.
I don't know if you guys take recommend ideas but I notice that there are a lot of different elves commanders. Noticeably there are a green- white, green-black, green-red and green-blue legendary elves such as Nath, Rhys, and "Mina and Denn"... it goes on. Maybe for a future duel Battle you can see who it the better dual color elf commander?
Continuing with this theme, would you guys be interested in recording a game where you use Planeswalkers that aren't from Commander 2014 as your generals? I've been thinking this could be fun. :D
I thin for the end of the season you should do the version of commander where you get a normal legend and a plainswalker in your command zone. The catch is that the plaiswalker has to be within your other commanders color identity.
The tootsie pop thing was totally real. Im from Seattle, born in 1984, and I used to get free tootsie pops all the time from Albertsons, 7-11, and the ice cream man for having wrappers with the star. My friends and I used to use them as currency to buy each others pogs, micro machines, marvel fleer cards, etc.
Jons decks was sweet and I would love to see him play it again, but against more powerful decks. Also this theme was sweet. I would love to see more videos where the commanders are not legendary creatures.
(Jeremy) Decklists: www.starcitygames.com/article/35569_Commander-VS-Legends-Without-Power-Or-Toughness.html
how do we submit deck lists? or is there a place to go to, to where we can submit our lists to certain people?
I have some great ideas for decklists, but I'd like to know how to submit them to people.
(Jeremy) You can post tappedout lists on any of our videos, or just tweet at us.
Stephen acquired yet another staple for his mono-white career. Jareth, Leonin Titan joins Rule of Law and Akroan Jailer.

just2red4u this is an awesome idea. i feel like it would be better to use the other 3 colors so your buff spells arent useless
and damage from any equipped creature counts as commander damage
Yeah that would definitely make more sense to use the other colors available.
That is an awesome idea
This needs to be noticed by them!
Flavor Text Steven is why I'm on team Green. Light's champion in the stronghold of darkness.
(Jeremy) We're breaking the rules again on Commander VS! Legendary Non-Creatures? What!?
STEVEN GREEN LOST A POINT FOR KILLING EVERYONE ON THE SAME TURN IN EPISODE ONE!
Star City Games I just turned from neutral to a Stephen fan in the new season. Hey Stephen!
Star City Games the furor over the puggernaut was great! Best line was Jeremy's indignation, "Director Kyle you realize I'm your boss right?!"
Star City Games "Wait, WHAT? You know I'm your boss, right?!" - Jeremy Noell, 2017
Nice game guys!
This episode was one of the funniest I have ever watched. The puggernaut sleeve 'altercation' was hilarious. Jeremy's face was the best. Justin: "But Kyle told me: whoever kills Jeremy first gets the puggernaut sleeves for the rest of the time."

This is one of the best games you guys have had! I think you finally earned my subscribition
Stephen getting out of the lock with Jareth felt so good. The death by one thousand cuts was like going through the Doldrums.
I wasn't expecting to hear the "first blood" from DotA from out of the blue but it's a welcome addition in my eyes.
This was a fantastic and entertaining video, and I absolutely loved it! I have heard of the tootsie pop star wrappers before; Jeremy and Stephen are not crazy.
Munetsugu Takeno (who was already like 80 by the end of the Kami War) died protecting his lord Konda when O-Kagachi broke through Eiganjo Castle. It was a pretty gruesome death, but, man, if anyone deserves to have Day of Destiny's flavour text attribute to them, it's General Takeno.
This episode lasted so long, but I laughed throughout the whole thing! Awesome job as always guys :)
Yeah I was totally down for this absurdity. On all levels. Cheers for doing this :D
I'm commenting 2 minutes into the video and this is already up there with the mystery deck episodes as my favorites! Thanks guys, I love weird themes and abstract generals is amazing!
Best episode I've seen! Really enjoyed this one. Liked the theme and found it fun to watch, looking forward to the next one.
This was one of my fave episodes ever! Keep up the good work guys!
Hey guys,
Wednesday is one of my favorite days of the week because of your videos! Thank you.
37:08 - "I respond... and gain one life." That made me giggle really hard.
The Tootse Pop one was valid at the corner gas stations up here in Mpls. MN.
BTW, I love these vids!!! Please keep them coming! You guys rock
Interesting episode. One of my friends down at my LGS actually has a Legacy Weapon deck, except he built it as the Weatherlight and its crew. It's actually pretty decent, since Captain Sisay can grab a lot of potent cards and the Weapon itself is a good backup for when you have mana to burn later in the game. He also has a book tribal deck which is actually pretty effective.
Justin's deck was really interesting to watch. Overextension be damned, lol
Stephen's face when he said you're dead was priceless
That was, by far, the FUNNIEST episode of Commander Vs. Ever.
Amazing episode. So creative.
CALLED IT! That ending, yes please finally!
best way to come home from work. see a new commander vs :)
Tootsie pops are great. We thought we had extra stuff inside.
You should do an episode where you only play decks constructed by Wes Wise.
Yeah, I've been waiting for the Wes Wise Tribute for a long time! #TeamWes #NeverForget
They would have to buy more cryptic commands.
So that Teferi deck that just have cryptic commands that wasn't played (Sea 2 Ep5)?
MORE PEOPLE UP-VOTE THIS NOW.
Wes had contacted me and said he was going to play a deck I suggested(Tomorrow) for the season finale, but then he moved and couldn't film that final episode. so if they do a Wes Tribute episode I hope somebody plays the final Wes deck that never got played.
That three doors down joke was perfection!
This is one of the best episodes every. "YOU'RE DEAD!" Was great
Stephen rocking all those cards from Magic's best block ever: Kamigawa.
Very
U know when I was at work today I was thinking that it would be cool if u guys did like an all enchantment or artifact that are noncreatures as commanders. Thx for this!! Just finished it and loved it!!! Do it again!!

Dear Stephen:
The most fun and interesting way I have seen a ronas deck built is mono green control using fight cards and lures to let you wipe boards with ronas because death touch and indestructible are a good combo. PLEASE DO THIS!
Dear Justin:
I'm sorry for your loss of getting mono red. Enough said.
Dear Jon:
Tokens? I guess? Or you can go Voltron. She does have double strike.
Dear Jeremy:
Scorpion god is really fun. It's a great control commander that gives the color combination great source of card draw.
Dear director Kyle:
I didn't want you to be left out, so here you go. :D
Cool concept! Fun game, but grindy as hell. lol Can't wait for next week's episode!
Justin is crazy literally the best part of kamigawa is the names and the flavour text
Poor Jeremy. They straight up said no ulamog for you ever. This episode was great, didn't not expect the outcome that happened.
#TEAMSTEPHENFORLIFE
It was so satisfying to see him kill Jonathan and put an end to that legacy weapon BS.
Y'all keep up these games I love watching them and look forward to them to come out keep up the great content
"Want to see my graveyard?" 🖕
-Stephen Green
One of my favorite commander versus episodes ever
Great show as usual. Love it Suarez, what an awesome deck.
I have been watching this series since Mcdarby and West, but man, that legacy weapon was sweet. I think this was the best episode I have ever seen from this channel.
1:57:47
Worthy of your "best of" moments
Jeremy was sitting on a Strip Mine the whole time Justin was sitting there with 20 cards in his hand.
Justin was his best hope vs Jon...
"it's me. I've been hiding my intentions this whole time!" Hahahahahahaha
Jarreth is my favorite card. Glad to see him come in clutch.
After seeing many a commander VS through the years, I'd honestly love to see you guys play your favourite card in magic as your commander, maybe it's okay for Meren to make her third appearance if she really needs to.
I love seeing Jeremy's decks, but I feel like you're not as threatening as you can be, got a bit land starved but I saw the cards in hand towards the end with the camera, all gas :(
Big fan of the show though, keep it going fellas.
"You know I'm your boss, right?" I'M DYING!!!
(Before game starts but after intro and points and stuff) That was hilarious! Jeremy - "What is this nonsense? You know I'm your boss right?" Give Director Kyle a promotion man. It takes cohones to mess your boss like that XD
I would love this to be revisited. Great concept and there are plenty of crazy Legendarys out there.
Man, I love watching John play and stuff, but I'm not upset he got knocked out that turn. If he hadn't we would've watched another whole hour of him exiling peoples lands and stuff...great video loved it guys!
F**k yes!!! Best idea ever! I love when you go weird like this!
Me too thanks
Oh god this is the best episode ever it had me on the edge of my seat because of the Legacy Weapon and the Door to Nothingness
Great game lads. Keep up the amazing work!
"You know I'm your boss, right?"
Jeremy is spitting 🔥🔥🔥
Don't think he would be there otherwise. And thus he illustrates a fundamental problem with bosses.
1:09:07 the ajani should techincally be tapped since he tapped it for that board whipe :p
charging up a Legacy Weapon has now become my favorite Commander Versus bit, along with Jeremy's Hamilton references (RIP).
I am 28 and I totally heard that Tootsie Pop rumor as well. Can't quite remember what I'd win, but I was sure I'd win something.
Hi Steven Green
Tootsie pop was a real thing. We got free suckers at the public pool when we turned in a Wrapper with Star on it.
Remember Tiny Leaders? Our playgroup came up with an idea somewhat based on that: Fat F***s: every spell must cost 5 mana or more! We played it a few times and it's hilarious.
I love your how you did your hair Stephen. As a side the idea of non creature commanders is interesting and my favorite was the legacy weapon
I've watched every commander vs episode and the jareth into the salon is my favorite play, and why I'm a member of team green!=)
Always a great episode when TeamGreen wins
1:20:40 has me laughing so hard. I envied Jon's spot this week. Showing them the door!!
That was a great game. Cool with the non-creature legends. You should play Un-cards for commanders in the final.
I would love to see the following for the season finale
Justin: Toshiro Umezawa
Jon: Sidar Kondo/Tymna the Weaver hate bears
Stephen: The Scarab God
Jeremy: Archangel Avacyn
18:20 Small thing but Jeremy didn't utilize his unwinding clock the very first turn he cast it. Why not swing with the copter for damage and loot? He said he liked his hand but cards in the graveyard are still added value in EDH.

Would also be best if you didn't share decklists with each other until after recording. Keep up the quality content.
This makes me want to make a deck based on winning with door and legacy weapon :)
There is a deck I've seen that forces the opponent to lose to door of nothingness by a few combos with liches mirror.
30:34 I may have been taught incorrectly, but I was taught that an X spell retains a CMC of 0 at all times, or the X itself will always count as 0, I know when searching for a card by CMC the ballista counts as a 0, but I thought that it also counted as a 0 when on the stack and being paid for
alex richman Not on the stack, it will retain the cmc for which he paid
Suarez deck reminds me of this child of alara jank deck i had couple years back; only win con was door to nothingness with ramp, cascade spells, etc
First I thought Jeremy was bad. Then I thought he was a genius. In the end I'm not sure.
Great video!
This looks like a really fun idea to do
lol When Steven, stops searching then, searched again just to lose a point. Steven for Life, That was Legendary. XD
Heard of the Tootsie Pop thing too. Never found any since they were traded away like contraband at my school.
This is amazing. I wish this was legal in non casual environments. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES.
Also, go Jonathan Suarez! Justin, you may be really pretty, but Jonathan has my inner fangirl.
ikr jonathan is so hawt... :D hes just perfect for my fangirling "transgender havent changed name of youtube yet..."
Where can we submit requests for commanders to play? I'd like to see Sakiko, Mother of Summer as a commander. I've seen a budget Sakiko deck be explosive, creating a bunch of massive creatures in single turns.
great game. definitely took a turn in the end. i thought jon was going to win. is it just me or was justin establishing dominance a "it's always sunny" quote? either way, it made me think of that ;) anyway i would like to see "show and tell" be played and if i dont get to see it played then i will come down on thee like the hammer of thor. the thunder of my vengeance will echo through these corridors like the gust of a thousand winds!!! please and thanks
Justin has retaken the lead in points overall. 170.3. Stephen 168.5, Jonathan 140.5, Jeremy 114.
The star of the show was really jon. He did more work removing cards and holding down the board. Legacy Weapon is beast. Wish i still had one. Wish i could play my Para Navigator deck against you guys.
There were the 10 cent boxtops from general mills goods (cereal, eggos, poptarts, etc.). Which you would collect and give them to your school and they would send them off to get money (my teacher would throw them out since I was the only one contributing). The tootsie-pop owl commercial predates me as a person and every now and then I still see it you've gotta watch it!!!.
First blood sound was so satisfying! Lol
How about playing EKH (Eldar Keyword Highlander)? Every card in you decks has to have at least one Keyword (like flying or trample or cycling) without repeating a single Keyword. It is really fun to build. And who ever plays the most unique keywords throughout the game gets a point.
Uhhh... you guys made it very clear that we should like, comment, share, and subscribe, but my friends and I are all subscribed already so I'm not sure who I'd share this with.... I'll just like and comment.
Are your friend's parents/siblings/children subscribed?
Justin P with the greatest EDH deck in the history of the show. Well done sir well done.
Laughed pretty hard from this vid. Commentary is hilarious
Definitely my favorite episode so far. Made me laugh too many times to count! #TeamGreen
I don't know if you guys take recommend ideas but I notice that there are a lot of different elves commanders. Noticeably there are a green- white, green-black, green-red and green-blue legendary elves such as Nath, Rhys, and "Mina and Denn"... it goes on. Maybe for a future duel Battle you can see who it the better dual color elf commander?
Oh dang. They used my idea for the Randharmonicon. Awesome.
This is a fun concept
Would like a 4K version of commander vs for the big screen.
This is the only content I like from you guys
Continuing with this theme, would you guys be interested in recording a game where you use Planeswalkers that aren't from Commander 2014 as your generals? I've been thinking this could be fun. :D
I thin for the end of the season you should do the version of commander where you get a normal legend and a plainswalker in your command zone. The catch is that the plaiswalker has to be within your other commanders color identity.
Jon! Can we see you play an angry baby/spirit themed deck please? I love how you balance all 5 colors!
The tootsie pop thing was totally real. Im from Seattle, born in 1984, and I used to get free tootsie pops all the time from Albertsons, 7-11, and the ice cream man for having wrappers with the star. My friends and I used to use them as currency to buy each others pogs, micro machines, marvel fleer cards, etc.
Jons decks was sweet and I would love to see him play it again, but against more powerful decks. Also this theme was sweet. I would love to see more videos where the commanders are not legendary creatures.
