Everyone: western attire
Josh: Depeche Mode gloves
Hey they were cowbows in Personal Jesus...Kinda...
Baha I was thinkin the same thing. It took me a bit to realize that maaaaybe a bandit/gun-for-hire might been into wearing skin tight leather/latex(?) gloves?
He's been staring down the barrel of a gun and he just can't get enough.
He's just getting back from a 80's break dancing competition. Or, a early 90s rave. Can't decide which.
BDSM
"Even if I could, I wouldn't!" spoken like a true outlaw.
*spit in the spit jar*
Josh desperately trying to remember a new month he hadn’t already said each time was perfection.
1:04:00; because Glissa has First Strike, her combat damage and abilities would resolve before the sphinx, meaning Ashlen could have destroyed the Parallel Lives and Warleader's Call before she flipped into the Unexplained Absence. Taalia still could have done all those actions in response to the Glissa trigger, so it doesn't really change much, but figured it was worth pointing out.
To add, she also couldnt pay any spree costs with the sphinx which also didnt matter much😅
Spree costs are additional costs, you can add those onto spells you "cast without paying their mana cost", since that is an alternate cost. You chose which alternate cost (if any), then choose additional costs, then discounts, then check trinisphere.
Also also Taalia optimal play would be to do her creation trick to kill josh before he takes Glissa damage, but this is a more exciting play anyway :P
@@romeesiothat was the line.
Yeah, I also thought of that particular missed trigger!
That spring-leaf avenger and keeper of fables animation went insanely hard what the absolute heck
Yeah I went back to re-watch and went "whoa what was that card again?"
@@brianpendleton2674 Lol! Me too! Usually I am not a sucker for animations, but here I was like"did they animated this just for these two cards specifically!?"
Coz that 2 cards carry Ashlen
Howdy y'all! 🤠 This was a great time!! Those dad gum pesky cards
GG Taalia! Your outfit this EP was ✨🎉🔥
Spoilers!! I'm only halfway through the episode but my phone rotated and this was the top comment...
Way to go though!!!
@@brianpendleton2674 maybe I do win 😊 it's sure looking like it
@@brianpendleton2674 I'll edit it tho ☺️☺️☺️
Really happy to see you finally in Game Knights.
Absolute praise to the graphics team on that intro. The campiness of this episode is top tier without being overly cheesy. 12/10 production
Yeah, this is what I definitely appreciate about the episode. They put a lot of effort into production and were fun without being obnoxious. Immaculate vibes!
That Obeka animation is amazing! Props to yall for the stunt work 😂
No guys. I did not skip a second of the intro. I loved it.
I’m not gonna lie. I usually skip the intros but this was too funny to miss a second of it. I love when you can tell they’re just having fun. Kudos!!
I did. Video starts at 4:00 for whoever needs it
I skipped it. Cringe af
@@zesmith4509 god bless ya, fella
This is the first time I didn't skip the intro 😂
Best thing about the video is Ashlen wearing her cowboy hat backwards😂
I wasn’t even paying attention to the hats till you pointed it out and now I can’t unsee it 😂🤚
Reverse cowgirl
the *not salty* banter between Josh and Jimmy when Josh kills Etali 😂classic commander moment
Jimmy: I’m not salty… swing everything at Josh 😂
To the editor: I really appreciate the talking heads/board view combo. i.e where the talking heads starts, but then switches to the board view with the talking heads audio still going IF no one else is talking at the table.
I know this isn't new, but felt extra snappy this video.
Talking heads? Mmm. What do you mean?
@@josed.9874 the individual interviews with each player
Josh: immediately picks the most "kill on-sight" commander possible
Josh when people kill his commander: >:(
Unironically sick intro, props to the graphics team 💀
nobody going to talk about the cleanest transition at 44:21
Yeah the visuals team are stupidly talented
That intro made my toes curl right up into my boots!
The silhouettes over Western theme stock footage was genius. 😃
Did you find a snake in there?
Toe? Singular? Landmine or just from Alabama?
just the one
The biggin@@rustknuckleirongut8107
@@rustknuckleirongut8107not that little annoying one in the end, I hate that one
I feel like the bounty mechanic just makes the strong players stronger, especially with all the combat triggers they require.
Yeah, I think it is not as bad as planechase, but still pretty random for an already random game. Not a fan!
Yeah, they seemed extremely snowball-y. Maybe it would be less impactful if they started on turn 3 or something so everyone's had a chance to develop board a little.
"Forever, I hope!" Jimmy Wong 🤣🤣🤣
Jimmy really treated the intro like a improv challenge
Tougher Than a 2 dollar steak is crazy
Asmon reference lolol
Any $2 steak is going to be rough. I wouldn't go anywhere near that. Food poisoning comes to mind.
it does sound good. But it must have been an expensive meal in the mid to late 19th century US. Even into the 20th, 1$ was a day's wages for many people.
At 1:03:46 with Ashlen’s combat triggers glissa’s trigger should resolve first as it has first strike
If it were going to be removed she could just do the warleaders call thing beforehand so Josh was probably gone either way
Was going to comment this too. Ashlen would have targeted the war leaders call and parallel lives and then Talia would have made all the tokens in response. So Josh would have died anyway. The only thing that changes is that Josh wouldn’t have been around to have anything targeted with unexplained absence. But that doesn’t affect anything.
Edit: the war leaders call would be gone before the unexplained absence in the above instance, so that would also be 1 less damage to everyone as it would not be around to trigger off the cloak.
They also didn’t do the Glisa triggers at 1:15:48. She could have removed six counters from ledger shredder causing it to not trade with her ninja.
Then she would have removed Warleader's Call at that point, which may have saved Josh.
Noticed that as well right away, makes me feel less bad about misplays in home games given it even happens on here.
@@berryjonwell no. Taalia would have acted at that point instead of the response to the instant
This episode's intro was bloody golden. Never been more happy to listen to an ad read
"I'm like a sad ... buffalo." That one had me cracking up.
fr i died
So great to see Talia on the show, and great to see Ashlen back!
they should call the Monarch, the Sheriff. you become Sheriff when you hit the former sheriff.
18.57 - Josh showing the exact value of a Rhystic Study there - willing to spend two treasures and 3 life to blow it up as early as possible even though those treasures could have rocketed him ahead next turn. This is absolutely how you are supposed to play against Rhystic.
Well, maybe this had cost him the game.
But in all fairness, I blame mostly the bounty cards for the win. These are not as random as planechasecards but close.
@@Aaackermann yea this video did not make me very excited to try bounties at my lgs
@@Aaackermann I don't think it was the spending too much resources at the time that got Josh but rather his continious feud with Jimmy that distracted them both from real threats. By the time they thought about calling truce it was too late.
As for bounties yeah, they are pretty much reverse Planechase worlds, giving universal reward but some decks just naturally complete them better and it snowballs fast. Also with planes others can sort of interract by rolling the die, where the only way you interract with bounties is by interacting with the player.
I have the impression that's always the case in the last episodes, josh and jimmy swinging at each other and ignoring the other players
An Angel in New Capenna gains its wings and smiles everytime a Rhystic study gets destroyed early in a game of Commander
HAHA, Josh's western lingo had an element of Macho Man no? Loved it. 100% would recommend.
15:27 we need more episodes with Jimmy and His Iconic Pirate voice 😂
Taalia on Game Knights!! Boy howdy, what an incredible episode!
The episode number is NICE 👌🏼
😂
HOWDY PARTNERS
HOWDY
This town ain't big enough for the two of us, pardner
HOWDY
I'm your huckleberry.
I didnt skip any, I genuinely jumped when I saw the notification. Love your vids, got me into magic and kept me in
Josh struggling with the Card Kingdom ad read with a cowboy voice 😂
I watch a few of these MTG play throughs and I REALLY love the graphics and speed of yours! THANK YOU to all your video editors and graphic artist. And your hosts are also fun and interesting too!
In even the few short years I've been watching this channel, the production value has gone through the roof. I'm always so impressed by the sets, editing, and most importantly, committal to the bit that you guys put out.
Even though my collection of cards and playing of mtg has taken a long pause due to grad school, I still pull up your new set vids and extra turns every so often to put on.
Keep up the good work!
I KNEW that Josh would play Obeka
Haha I loved the Dune references! Really fun game. Was Skeptical that the sultai deck would be too similar to Yarok, but had a nice change of pace!
First time I didn’t skip over the intro. Loved it for the first time in forever
Love Talia and Ashlen being back!!!
Wow - excellent animations and flavor! I've loved the show since the beginning, but my gosh have you guys added so much! Great work to your team, and THANK-YOU!
Josh calling Jimmy salty was quite funny. If that wasn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is.
Not really. Jimmy is notorious for getting salty in the history of this channel. It’s all jokes, but out of the CZ crew, Josh gets the least salty since he’s all about efficiency and making the right play whereas Jimmy plays on momentum and takes huge gambles.
@nickmitch1734 I know Jimmy is usually the salty one. It's more that in this particular moment, it was pretty clear that Josh was quite salty and so it was "the pot calling the kettle black"
@@bfeldz1023 Josh didn’t really seem salty there bruh idk what you’re talking about, maybe Josh was a little salty but Jimmy was the one doing the classic “I understand your decision” salty monologue
I actually watched the sponsored ads during the first 5 minutes this time!!!!! Keeping the accent through was a great choice 😄😆
As always, major props to the editing and effects in this episode! I loved the cutaway to random animals and clips, and the effects for the cards (especially Infernal Grasp, that shi- was AMAZING!) were superb!
Love it, guys!
And on a different note, I was surprised at how fun WotC was able to make the set (at least, how it seems to be so far.) When they announced a cowboys/western themed set some time back, I _really_ expected a lot less from them. Way to give us another pretty cool set in recent times!🤙
Before even knowing the decks, I said "One of em's using Felix Fiveboots." and shortly after the video started I said "Felix gonna win"
Taalia looking like a pro poker player
Glissa should have triggered before Dazzling Sphinx due to first strike. This would have gotten rid of the war leaders call earlier, Vess may have still done what she did in response, but they should have caught this.
"Holy cow"! This intro sequence gave me goosebumps. It's a joy to see where all your hard work over the last years have brought you. Keep going an ride towards the sunrise dear Commandzone! 🙂
This is without a doubt my favorite episode of game knights, the fashion, the vibes, the guests all 10/10
1:03:50 glissa's two triggers should've come before the sphinx due to first strike. it wouldn't have changed anything about the outcome but i'm a little know-it-all, so there ya go. great episode, very entertaining and liked the choice of commanders from OTJ very much!! :)
Wouldn’t Josh just lived?
....*30 mins of cowboy voice later*, "Please stop."
I Love when they make their own decks instead of using the precons.
Super appreciate the use of reflectors to bounce light back up to the face with all them wide rimmed hats on!
Video at 3:45
Thanks, Caleb.
Wait...
That intro made my member stand straight up
howdy
All ready for game knights 69! Nice!
Yeeehaww partner
Ashlens side profile at @1:09:53 is like... adorably menacing 😂 Good shot yall behind the cameras and editors for catching it 👌🏾
Epic intro reel, per usual! Shoutout to the editing team, y’all continue to outdo yourselves 🙏
The glissa should have triggered first because of first strike so the warleader's call should have been gone before the sphinx triggered.
Taalia could have created the tokens at any time, so didn't matter
Why didn't taalia just keep making tokens till she won?
@@davidrolland150 She would need infinite mana for that
Ok I didn't know about the mana cost ty for getting me to double check the card
How did Taalia cast all the stuff off of her jeska’s will with only red mana? Like the path to exile ?
She had treasure open to use as the plains
I get the impression they saved money on the ads to give us more and better card animations, and i am so so grateful! that transition from the avenger to keeper of fables was awesome, as well as the infernal grasp on etali, not to mention the obeka animation!!
what an epic and fun episode. thanks and keep it up - obeka style!
Idk why but I laughed out loud for the first ad break. It doesn’t sometimes rain in Seattle….IT ALWAYS DOES!
This expansion was fine, but my issue is that this was 100th expansion and should have been made a bigger deal by WoTC. Reaching the miilestone of 100 feels like it should have been noteworthy. right?
Not really, it doesn't matter any way
I don’t think anyone cares about something as arbitrary as that
I don’t really care even though I just found out about it being the 100th yesterday. I swear people are just trying to find dumb reasons to hate on this release lmao
@@verdantfoxy How is being me feeling slightly underwhelmed the same thing as me hating on this release? I am not even saying that the expansion was not a fine choice for the 100th, my core issue was that WoTC could have made the celebration of reaching 100 a bit bigger, there was nothing special about the level of promotion for this than for any thing recently. I had to even double check that it was the 100th expansion since I don't think Wizards even advertised it. Arguably the hype was lower than for some of the recent ones, like the cross over ones, (ie Warhammer and Lord of the Rings) felt like a bigger deals.
Bro the production quality always makes me smile. Great work as always command cast!
Alright, that's the coolest intro I've ever seen ya'll do, mighty fine job
This is the first time in years that I haven’t skipped over the opening sponsor dialog. Hats off to you, partners 🤠
Daaaamn this intro is so great. Kudos to the editors, your work is amazing!
Jimmy's new catchphrase:
"I'm feeling outclassed here."
The bounties are an awesome addition. You guys really made this interesting. Truly enjoyed the game. Thank you for sharing. Love you guys.
The intro and ad reads are absolutely demented. Top work
“Well ain’t that a kick in the pants,” haha! Best quote of the episode. Lol
3:46 that intro was amazing! just so so cool :D
As a southerner, I totally appreciate the effort on the accents in the opener 😂 mighty fine job gentlemen.
I play Glissa as my commander in my best deck. It's nice to see someone else realize her worth. She's extremely underrated by most players in my opinion.
josh was CRACKING ME UP this episode🤠 and i have been totally charmed by taalia, the greatest bounty hunter the zone has ever seen!
Damn, the production quality is out of this world! Well done on that intro!
“I think it’s pony express, Jimmy”
My favorite part of the entire episode.
I was gonna talk about how Taalia looks especially gorgeous here, I mean just absolutely beautiful, but then I realised that everyone looks so good in this ep! Must be something about the Wild West that gives you all a wonderful glow
This is the first time I've stayed to listen to the pre-show advertisements. 😂
Came for the ganeplay, stayed for the accents. 😂
Lee Marvin and Sam Elliot are deeply disappointed by the lack of moustaches on display.
i love when posty writes this kind of music. i wish he would just drop a whole album of epic orchestral music
Intro kicks ass! What an incredible job by the editors! Chapeau!
THREE solid minutes of non stop laughter...fantastic job y'all
That intro was amazing. Now I'm committed
Love the change of the intro and background. A little mix of the sound I love it awesome keep it going guys
ironically, i think this is the intro that no one skipped. Thank you guys for doing the voice
I feel like it’s those “whoa I can’t believe hay happened!” moments that are turning you guys into memes. And a compendium won’t help 😂
That intro sequence literally might be the best thing you guys have ever done
the chaos of that intro * chefs kiss *
This has been the best game knights I’ve seen in awhile…keep this type of content going
This is yet again another example of I have no idea what went on but loved every minute of it 👍
Those intro card kingdom and ultrapro sponsor spots cracked me up!
Ita the commitment to the cowboy bit that I appreciate. Josh was holding out hoping Jimmy would drop it first.
I was going to skip this video because I'm not too excited for OTJ, but the intro was so worth tuning in! Thank you for making such fun stuff!
Turn 4 Bonehoard Dracosaur with an Obeka is certainly terrifying.
Edit: ngl, at the end there, I was half expecting to Taalia to be like "In response to your attack... Settle the Wreckage."
Jimmy - "Josh and I are fully vendetted against each other"
Me thinking to myself - isn't that every episode? Lol
That intro credit was amazing. Well done
Big props to Zach Heyde for that western arrangement of the GK theme in the intro. I think I like it more than the original actually 😂
Amazing production. Great work to everyone involved!
Omg that entire intro was amazing. The silly accents. The incredible animation that followed. I’m blown away that was so sick
Why does Jimmy rock that cowboy look so welll 😍
First time I didn’t skip the intro in years😂❤
