Doubly hilarious for him specifically to say it lmao
I'm convinced that Brian could have zero creatures, zero lands, and zero cards in hand on Turn 6 and Olivia would still call him the threat 😂
Truth
@@commanderathome because he's Brian F'n Kibs with Ur Dragon
I'm beginning to think that is her commander strat.
1st Play with Brian
2nd Brian brings overpowered explosive deck
3rd Complain about Brians deck and make him the archnemesis
4th Do absurd value synergies silently in the background
5th Win by surprise
@@lucaslohmann4411 Wasn't a surprise at all that she won though, you could see it coming from a mile away
@Lucas Lohmann it's the opposite of silent. She will easily be the threat and complain when people aren't focusing him
The group: “we are all gonna do chill fun things”
Brian: “y’all wanna watch me speed run an Ur-Dragon?”
Ben it is such a breath of fresh air to see someone not get tunnel visioned and realize someone else is the threat
Olivia's "I'm not the threat and since you targeted one thing on my board I'm going to be unbearably toxic for the rest of the game" schtick is getting old. It's been kind of annoying in the past but this game it was so annoying
If only he didn't give her those three cards at the end though haha. Probably wouldn't've made too much difference in the long run though.
@@noxington4260 I’m glad someone else noticed this behavior.
@Sorret it's getting really toxic and unbearable. She also had an ur dragon and WAAYYY more then he did and was complaining that her shit was getting destroyed. Like? Seriously? That's what children do.
@@noxington4260 Yeah I enjoy the show but this episode was rough. She literally had an entire artifact engine up AND an Ur Dragon and was saying Brian was still the threat because she was "only going to target him".
Olivia when Brian has 8 mana turn 1: “HES THE ARCHENEMY”
Meanwhile, Olivia with 7 mana turn 1
It's the 1 extra mana 😂
To be fair, 3 of those 7 mana reside in a mana vault that had already been tapped
I swear, Ben's laugh is therapeutic, it cures my anxiety for a moment
I know right, whenever this man is on screen I feel instantly happier.
It sounds like demonic Santa and I love it?
That laugh is a balm for the soul
You think so? I hate to drop out in the 7 minute mark
I can't tell if it's real or not 😅
Brian's opening hand and him reacting like a kid in a candy store was absolutely hilarious
I appreciate this show because we get to follow up Olivia doing one of her signature turn ones with Brian *immediately* doing worse.
I recognize a pattern: Brian just having a good time playing cool decks, Olivia hating him for that, and two mediators that help keeping things from escalating by their mere presence ;)
Brian truly is a golden retriever in human form.
Ben - So why am I not dead?
Brian - Because I deemed it not to be.
Olivia is that one EDH player in the group that gaslights the table against other players then just takes the win in one turn. Threat assessment people! Threat assessment!
Not just gaslighting and threat assessment, she actively bullies players at the table and acts pissed off whenever her shit gets targetted, but hehe quirky woman so nobody calls it out as much as they should.
She's such a stereotype
@@babaXIIIor we can stop being migsyotic!
@@Sam-bm6yfdid you have a stroke?
@babaXIII this must be Joe's burner account
@@Sam-bm6yf"Migsyotic" 💀
Brian and Ben's energy is just the best thing. Ashlen and Olivia keeping it level and adding to making this such an enjoyable game
By the end of the first season I wonder if we will have a “Brian explaining his evil plan, while Olivia hides in her hoody” screenshot for every episode. This one is at 18:56
It’s a new highlight every episode
There are so many recurring memes in this show XD
Like a „signature move“? 🤔
32:52
Ben Brode has got to be my favorite guest playing on the channel (I still love Ashlyn on Game Knights with her Eldrazi). The energy Ben has is like being a chaoitc duo with Brian and their witty humor.
45:18 Ben: "I believe I have kept him in check"
Brian: "YOU'RE ALIVE ONLY DUE TO MY MERCY! OKAY!"
I agree Ben is great but her name is Ashlyn :)
I love Ben except for his insistence that commander damage is broken.... he's obviously never run against any sort of decent life gain
“True love is reminding you of all your triggers” - he gets us, he really does ❤️

@@ScottofOakland50:20
Ah yes another day of “Kibler is the problem help me kill him!!”
The weird thing is she's always *right!*
Ben and Brian have two of the most genuine, hearty laughs I've ever heard and I can't help but find myself chortling along with them every time. It's such an uplifting, wholesome feeling.
Can't wait to see their reaction that eminence is, indeed, coming back
Is it though?
@@dustinjackson8270 Yes. The commander of the new esper knight precon for MoM has eminence.
It’s a put oooon!
@@hotspicymilky3608 just saw I’m glad it wasn’t super broken like the first ones were
@@hotspicymilky3608 It is a pretty fair Eminence ability and the card really wants to be on the battlefield, so it is the tamest of tame Eminence cards.
New episode, today is a good day. Here is to many more episodes with friends ❤
It’s a bit ironic when Brian reminds Olivia of her Rhystic Study trigger but then forgets his Smothering Tithe trigger of Olivia’s draw 😅
That turn 1 from Kibler was such a huge target on him right out of the gate...and he loved it LOL
Just wait til you get to turn 2!
His reaction to “THIS CARD SUUUUUCKS” is fantastic. I love it. 12:45
I love the “I believe I kept him in check” and “I chose not to kill you twice” happens multiple times. Brian’s start was LEGENDARY.
“True Love is reminding you of all your triggers.”
I need Ben’s laughter as an alarm so I can finally wake up happy. The man is pure serotonin
Olivia saying “you can say fuck” to Ben is the best thing I have heard
I love how Bryan and Ben are friends and it it shows so well on camera. Great job to all the team.
Any day with a new episode of Commander at Home is a great day! 😊
THIS!
“I believe I’ve kept him in check!”
“I CHOSE NOT TO KILL YOU TWICE????”
Holy freaking nuts I LOVE this show. You guys keep posting the best content. Thank you so much for the laughs and amazing gameplay 🖤🖤
Thats why i dont show mercy, i let ppl live and they messed up my board in the process so if i got lethal, its over unless im helping ppl learn the game or need experience
@@mibbzx1493 pretty sure he didn’t kill him for content though
Ngl brian stopped being the threat by turn 4. But everybody gets distracted by a big creature so i get it
I mean, Ur dragon can 2 shot you and gives Brian card advantage. Plus he had so much mana. I get why they were banding against him.
I would rather say, that after t4, Brian wasn't the only threat on the battlefield. 😉
1:30 - "Ben's laugh would echo through the halls"
45:21 - Ben's laugh echoing in the room.
Absolutely love this series, and this was an amazing game to watch! Can't wait for the next one!
The genuine playgroup environment of this show, along with a very modest amount of graphical editing has made the only casual commander gameplay series I enjoy watching. Your guests are phenomenal, the decks are fun, the banter is organic, and the whole show is just friends farting around playing games. Don't ever stop making these, please.
I like that Brian plays commander similar to me. He essentially helps everyone beat him when he's ahead. Telling people what to kill on his board and reminding everyone of their triggers lol
Truth! He might be incapable of bringing anything but heaters, but his pure love for the whole act of the game really shows
It’s been 10 months since this episode came out. And it still brings me just as much joy as the first watch. Thanks for making the world a more fun place 1 commander video at a time. Also Dragons rule !!!!
Please invite Day[9] (Sean Plott) for a session, he’d vibe with you guys so well and bring so much to the table!!!
Always a good day when you guys upload
You do realize Sean and Brian are friends? Sean will be on within the next few episodes. He would've already been on but Sean already had plans on days where they were trying to get him on.
@@parlangua89 no I didn't realize they were friends I don't follow the day to day lives or the friend circles of people on the Internet 😂 My comment was 8 months ago lmao
@@AHHHb0bSaggot I used to love Day9 but I swear to god the dudes fanboys are like this lol. I don't understand what goes on in their brains.
Welcome to another episode of "Ben Brode helping his opponents win the game by giving them free card draw and then laughing about it like it was the funniest thing he has ever seen"
I am a simple man. I see Ben Brode, I click the video. His laugh will wash away all my troubles from the day.
Whenever Ben and Brian are together in the same room, the laughters are booming and it resonates deeply with my heart. Always brings great mood and I love it. Also miss Ashley on the command zone and hope she's doing great in whichever thing she's currently doing !
I know I've said it before, but this still proves to be my favorite edh show. It has a "home" feel to it that I love.
Stg every time Brian and Olivia open the door it makes me smile. Feels warm. Great job y’all!
Ben was "The Voice of God" for the Blizzcon cosplay contests and other VO stuff. IT was awesome!!
I’m loving theses games, the wholesome fun, the amazing back and fourth between everyone. This has been something helping get through a really rough time and I couldn’t appreciate you all more
Kibler needs to do a deck tech pro tour style. I'd be curious how he goes about constructing a deck in Commander.
Gotta love Olivia thinking people would hate her 1st turn having 2 Mana Vaults, and Kibler is basically like "that's cute honey" but hold my beer 🍺 😂
When Ben said he was gonna blow up the clock he looked soooooo scared of Olivia!!! Rightfully so I’m sure!!!😂😂😂
Best episode yet! This show is so cozy and fun, you've captured a slice of my favorite way to play magic, I'd watch a million of these.
The intro to this video makes me want to have more friends like you guys, it's so cosy and lovely.
Just found this channel. Not gonna lie, this video gives me warm feeling. Love the dynamics and the friendly banter!
I always love how Olivia is like, he's the threat, while she literally is the threat on the board
Honestly this
That’s what you’re supposed to do tho.
It always rubs me the wrong way, - she kind of brutally abuses social contract to gaslight/complain her way closer to victory. It's not exactly sportsmanlike
@@joachimpearson4892 on one hand, it is a political play, but usually when she does it she wins, it reminds me of my roommate, whish isn't a good thing lol
@@AlienoidGamer I don't think it is political; making deals or alliances, stirring your opponents against each other IS, definitely. But misrepresenting your own boardstate, loudly exclaiming "i'm not a threat!" when everyone has correctly assessed that you are a threat, and then giving even more outrage when removal is rightly pointed at you isn't politics, it's just being a pain in the ass. She's not getting results out of being cunning or sneaky or diverting attention, instead her opponents give her more slack because people naturally want to avoid that kind of tension/outrage in a friendly game.
Another excellent episode. I check the channel almost daily waiting for fresh episodes. By far my favorite Commander to watch.
As a fellow Ur Dragon player, I looooooved how gross was Brian's turn 1. This episodes feel like 20min episode, they are so fun and refreshing time goes by without noticing it! Lovely guys ❤☺. I wish i coul play there one day, sadly Spain is quite far away. The most I can hope is to see and take a pic with olivia & brian(if he comes) to Barcelona's Magic Con at the end of July!
I swear, I would listen to a 10 hour loop of Ben's laugh.
Same, I feel like he's the kind of guy it would be impossible to have a bad time around.
I think they use his laugh as a form of torture at Guantanamo
Olivia is the type of player that says she's "not doing anything" the entire game and then turns around and wins with the engine she's built while she WASN'T "doing anything".
And get incredibly pissy when you wreck her obvious engine
Dude spoiler
It's called strategy, if you say the right things the right way people react the way you want them too, since commander is a 4 player format people are more susceptible to manipulation.
@@kevinfelixclausell5244exactly. If you get angry and stressed while being called the threat, they'll go for you thinking you're the threat. If youre calm and explain that you aren't doing anything there's a higher chance of being left alone
Ben Brode is secretly Brian's Ally through this entire game LOL
or every game they play including the game they played earlier in this series
Because he blew up a draw seven from the player with an Ur-Dragon, a Rhystic Study, and an Unwinding Clock making 27 mana per turn?
Absolutely love this series and how natural everything is. Thanks for creating such fun content and it always brightens my days.
Let’s goooooo 🎉❤
You can’t help but want to laugh along with Ben - what a joy filled laugh. 😂
Easily my most favorite commander gameplay vods. You all make it so real and fun!
Ben is such a great guest. His hearty laughing is hilarious.
Summary of episode: “I could have killed you twice!” and “You are alive only because of my mercy!”
Great video. This is my second favorite EDH-centric RUclips channel, after Elder Dragon Hijinks.
I love that players are not afraid to ask about card rulings. I feel like this is how people play Magic in real life, it doesn't feel scripted like on other channels.
Ben's laugh is so joyful what an amazing guy! Glad Ashlyn is here two what a fun pod! Keep up the amazing work! 😊
Man I love the politics of Commander games can be friends one turn, enemies the next. Always funny when one persons discovers who is going to be the big threat but everyone's like "nah it's Brian" in this example haha. Great content as always!
Omg, we have a Commander at Home first that I never thought we would ever see!
Olivia's deck got to do its thing!
Easily my favorite commander dynamic, there's a lot of great shows but you guys really do capture that casual atmosphere!
This is an awesome show, is great to see people with incredible chemistry playing MTG as good friends do, is a breath of fresh air. Thank you guys for this!
Glad you mentioned the laughs, this is fast becoming my favorite commander channel mainly because of the Kibler laugh. Its contagious...
Great Episode, the dynamic and the atmossphere on the table are great.
Looking forward to more great episodes. :)
Greetings from Germany
Thank you for this series. I laugh more during your gameplay than I do my own.
That was a really good game. Tons of laughs and banter. Truly had fun watching and you can see the fun the players are truly having ! Catch y’all on the flippity ! And great guests !!!!
I too Love Dragons. I moved my Ur into the deck which is commanded by "The Elk" with ALL the Reducers where I've played Ur for like 3 mana. Love it!
The amount of laughter in this episode is wonderful thank you.
"True love is reminding you of your triggers...." - its just so right on so many levels...
I love this show. They have a great interaction with their guests. It makes me feel like a real game of commander where I play. People enjoying game while enjoying the people.
This is just amazing content. Love the vibes you have in all episodes.
The vibe is amazing, again. So many great quotes!
True love is reminding you of your triggers!
Yay new episode! This has already become one of my favorites as far as commander content goes! Keep up the good work guys!
My favourite part about 7:43 where Olivia jokes about people complaining when players use spindowns for random rolls is that spindowns are actually *more* random than a standard d20 when rolling odds or evens.
The main issue with a spindown is that all of the high numbers are on one side of the die, meaning that it is a lot easier to guarantee that you'll roll high. However, when rolling odds or evens, the higher numbers being gathered only means that the odd and even numbers are nicely spread out across the die. On the other hand, the standard d20 puts all the even numbers on one side and the odd numbers on the other--it's a lot easier to guarantee odd or even.
So basically, when rolling odds or evens, someone can use the exact same skill that makes spindowns 'not a real random dice' to rig a standard d20, but they can't use it to rig a spindown.
This was good fun, I'm working on an ur dragon deck myself. I just found a new commander group at my local game store after like 6 years away from the game, lots of fun, meeting new people dying to new decks and trying to improve and dust off the old ones. It just feels good to be back in magic
as someone who has had their obnoxiously loud laugh pointed out to them many times, I really appreciate Ben Brode and the volumes he reaches when he's having a good time. Never Change.
I really really loved this episode. Really fun table, fun decks and a good game. Absolutely love Olivia and Brian
Another fantastic game. Loved the guests, and so much laughter.
Thanks for the content!
Love the show. That intro, all my favorite people in the Magic community, looks like so much fun, would be a dream come true to be invited to a party like that!
BEN BRODE PLAYING COMMANDER? As a hearthstone fan this is so freaking unexpected
He's been on Hijinks a few times.
After Brode left HS, I gradually left HS too.
Why? HS is basically based on magic?
Did y’all go to the same high school?
I think I say this every episode but this was the best episode and y’all’s channel is prob the most fun to watch, although Chad magic has a similar dynamic they have fun like y’all do!!! Thank you for starting this channel and inviting us into your home…only problem with this episode the only doggo I got to see was Kiblers card sleeves!!! The babies deserve screen time!!!
Favorite part of the episode 12:45 - Olivia “you can say fuck” 😂
Awesome episode again, as usual. This should be the standard of playing Commander with family and friends
These are the best two guests so far.
I'm rewatching all episodes where Ben was invited, I love this man's laugh, it's so infectious.
Turn 1 and everyone is already upset at Brian. This is gonna be a good and exciting episode
This is slowly becoming one of my favorite Commander channels to watch. In the top 5 for sure.
And Olivia, they did bring back Eminence today :P. 😅
By far the best commander play content! People get salty and frustrated like a real commander game. Thanks for the great content!
"You're alive only due to my mercy." - Brian Kibler's presidential slogan.
Brian's "This deck comes with a warning label." comment reminds me of my 2 fav decks
Prosper: Have fun
Light Paws: Choose Violence😂
I love this series so much ❤just being able to see how chaotic the game can get or STARTS!!! Everyone there brought such powerful decks with great attitudes 😄.Was so hyped when Olivia started the game off with 2 mana vaults on the field. thought it couldn't get much better than that with how bomber of a turn 1 that is, but then Brian just goes "Aww how cute, hold my beer" then proceeds to have 8 mana by the end of turn 1!
This game was a vibe. First video I found on the channel and I love it. And as a fellow Ur dragon player, this was quite enjoyable my friend.
Omg that was so much fun! And yes, Ashlen definitely should have been in on that rendezvous.
Ashlen's grin before people realized she played eye of ugin. Beautiful
Those Andrew Mar artist proof treasures are amazing!! So cool to see! Hope to see more games with Ur dragon in the future!
I really love this channel. Thank you guys :)
