i'm a fairly new player so forgive me if i'm asking a stupid question butttttttttt, is commander a form of play like standard/modern/pauper? how is it different? I thought they were just a type of deck you could buy. sorry if this question is so bad it makes you cringe
Bruceskyy yes. Commander is a casual format much like pauper. It takes a 99 card deck and a commander. Your deck must contain cards that are only in your commanders color identity. Its a fun format ment to have communication and magic at the center.
Also, just to set it straight, when translated into Chinese the word 'noble' in Falkenrath Noble was translated as 贵族 (gui4zu2) and 'aristocrat' in Falkenrath Aristocrat as 豪族 (hao2zu2). The first is a direct and accurate translation of the word and the second technically means 'family' though the connotation is that of a powerful, rich, or important group of people.
I'm a little late to the party but: Shawty growin apples on the trees Birch with the ferns (with the ferns) The whole forest lookin at herrr She tryin'a gro' (tryin'a gro'), next thang you know Shawty got loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam Them hanging pot plants And the seedlings wit the sap (wit the sap) She turned around and gave that big oak tree a smack (AYY!!) She tryin'a gro' (tryin'a gro'), next thang you know Shawty got loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam Cmon
Peregrine drake costs 4U, and harpy costs UB. Cam had 5 lands, 1 of which taps for UB. Each cast of peregrine drake gives Cam 1 excess mana since it untaps 5 lands. However, to cast the harpy, even after bouncing it back at the cost of 1 life, he requires 2 mana. So Cam loses out on 1 mana with each iteration. Am I crazy or does the 'combo' as described in 1:04:00 make no sense?
You all mentioned it many times so I'm sure you're already aware, but YES more commander this is some of the best quality content and you all are an amazing playgroup. Almost halfway through hoping Cam pulls this win out. makes all the blue player jokes that much better seeing this pauper pirate shutting people down, although Kathleen with the indiscriminate board wipes was amazing and Drana is a personal favorite of mine from my W/B Warriors deck in BFZ standard x) But all the decks are super awesome and it's ridic and I'm glad I got to see an all-black edh game.

I love how different commander playgroups are. This would be a refreshing difference from my store's meta. (Which went from pre-cons to armageddon and stasis in the span of 4 months)
OH MY GOD I SAW THIS ON THE STREAM HIGHLIGHTS ON LIVE FOREVER AGO AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO AND IT'S FINALLY BEEN UPLOADED I'M SO HAPPY GO CAM!!!
This is a replacement effect. It applies last and may apply multiple times to an event. The creature never goes to the original destination zone and will not trigger abilities that trigger based on going there (e.g. "dies" triggers)!
@1:53:00 "Its roots are equally happy to drink the water of a clear stream or the oily blood of a Phyrexian warrior." I never knew I wanted to see a Compleated Treefolk until now.
Pretty cool layout, although perhaps we don't need to see everyone's faces all of the time. The extra space would be great to get a better view of the board and/or the cards after you scan them. I still can't read the cards at full screen 720p.
A comment on the Overlay. For those of us who are color blind or lean that direction, It is nearly impossible to discern the difference between Graham's and Ben's colors.
a question (without any harmful sides or whatever) if it is all labeled to what is what, does the color even matter at that point? I would understand if some color makes what is written blurry,but if not why would the color matter?
really did expect some storm combo there, with the drake and the harpy Cause common printed storm cards are banned in pauper, but not in EDH-Pauper hybrid
There are only 2 common legendary creatures, Chandler and Jovan, both in mono-red. Cameron's is from Legends which is a set where the symbol did not change based on rarity. It is an Uncommon if I remember correctly.
Ben's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/23-06-17-aristocrats-edh/ Cam's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ramirez-cant-hear-you-until-you-apologize/ Sadly I could not find an up to date version of Graham and Kathleen's lists, but I found an older version of Graham's from the episode of the Command Zone which he was a guest on: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/cmdz-sapling-of-colfenor-graham-stark-lrr/
The fruit Oot - 99 cards, one of each max, only cards that match your commander's colours (artifacts are okay, unless they have effects that use non-commander colours)
Any time I see that full art Damnation I just get mad because I racked up enough reward points that they were supposed to send me one, and they just never did...
Probably, Kathleen was the best player in the game. She "forsaw" that cameron was gaining too much life and tried to put the attention on him. Cam, my man! great game and thanks for representing blue will.
Hey guys I just started running my own commander nights and i was wondering, what do you use to scan the cards with the tablet to have them show up on the screen?
For commander damage is it 21 damage from any of the other 3 players commanders? Like if each enemy commander did 7 damage to you does that kill you? Or does it have to be 21 damage from the same source?
Dear God I'm glad the mics don't pick up their table tapping. I was listening with a headset and though there was an super intense racquet ball game going on two rooms down xD
2:44:58 - I played a commander game where an opponent played an overloaded cyclonic rift and I countered it with pyroblast. Literally the only time I have had fun with Cyclonic Rift.
Is the center of the board, video edited in or did they build/program a contraption to do that "Last card played" overlay? I want to replicate it if possible
so correct me if i'm wrong but i think Graham is playing his commanders attack ability wrong, the card should go to hand either way but he just doesn't get the life triggers?
"Fucking Cameron; let me play Magic the Gathering!!!" Probably my favourite moment, especially because Cam gets to be a wise Blue player. Cam's story about moving to a new town definitely resonated as well :P
Please sir, I'd like some more.
MTG Muddstah ahhh I love your content too! Anybody reading this, please sub!
i should address this to you, PLEASE SIR MORE 10 MIN COMMANDER SPEEDRUN CONTENT SIR
i'm a fairly new player so forgive me if i'm asking a stupid question butttttttttt, is commander a form of play like standard/modern/pauper? how is it different? I thought they were just a type of deck you could buy. sorry if this question is so bad it makes you cringe
i guess to add to this, are commander decks something you can take to FNM?
Bruceskyy yes. Commander is a casual format much like pauper.
It takes a 99 card deck and a commander. Your deck must contain cards that are only in your commanders color identity. Its a fun format ment to have communication and magic at the center.
Omg monthly commander would be amazing!!!
Just as "The command zone", "Star city Games" and theres one more. but forgot the name.
Yahaaaw194783 Goldfish
HAh ,agree :) but with less "!!!" excitement :)
yes please, more commander is just what we all want! I sadly missed this live but I would love to catch it live some time.
I like it when they use there own decks better then a pre-con one
the Pre-con one....Remember when Surge had literally 20+ mana turn 4?
I've been waiting to see grahams deck for years. Thank you graham for finally showing us this forest of a deck.
Also, just to set it straight, when translated into Chinese the word 'noble' in Falkenrath Noble was translated as 贵族 (gui4zu2) and 'aristocrat' in Falkenrath Aristocrat as 豪族 (hao2zu2). The first is a direct and accurate translation of the word and the second technically means 'family' though the connotation is that of a powerful, rich, or important group of people.
This is one of my most favorite streams. Just chill, casual kitchen table magic, and I can't wait for more.
More commander
yes plz
spencer jhette is Ben the one with the painted nails
YE
Have everyone play their most competitive decks next time!
We'd love to see Kathleen's 'unfun' deck, Cam's Niv Mizzet deck, etc
any night that you play EDH (commander) is always a good video.
i would love to see some of the new cards played with the planechase cards/deck.
Vanguard Archenemy Commander Planechase!! ... all at the same time.
+conspiracy
And I thought the matchedI have with my play group take a while, hooly
Un-Set constructed anyone?
+Kizer5Red Dear god...
this is my first exposure to commander. thank you guys or making the format loos real fun
Time traveler from 2019 here: I like the intro, but the camera angle and Kathleen's seat especially is just weird
I'm a little late to the party but:
Shawty growin apples on the trees
Birch with the ferns (with the ferns)
The whole forest lookin at herrr
She tryin'a gro' (tryin'a gro'), next thang you know
Shawty got loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam
Them hanging pot plants
And the seedlings wit the sap (wit the sap)
She turned around and gave that big oak tree a smack (AYY!!)
She tryin'a gro' (tryin'a gro'), next thang you know
Shawty got loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam
Cmon
I really wanna see Kathleen's unfun deck in archenemy as her as the Archenemy!
an Un-Deck in EDH/Archenemy? that's crazy talk
Kizer5Red ? I meant the "Real" deck she mentioned at the beginning, saying it's "unfun"
Been there, played against that. Not fun for anyone, sadly.
Peregrine drake costs 4U, and harpy costs UB. Cam had 5 lands, 1 of which taps for UB. Each cast of peregrine drake gives Cam 1 excess mana since it untaps 5 lands. However, to cast the harpy, even after bouncing it back at the cost of 1 life, he requires 2 mana. So Cam loses out on 1 mana with each iteration. Am I crazy or does the 'combo' as described in 1:04:00 make no sense?
Kangeroo land.

I love Commander and love watching the RUclipsrs I love play Commander. Please do these more often!
I love this format so much! Also, 4 black decks makes me SO happy ^^
Where are the deck lists?
I'm new to magic and this was immensely fun to watch. Subbing and hoping for more of this great content.
Dark Heart of the Wood was the first MTG card I ever saw, back around the winter of 1994. The cool artwork stuck in my mind!
"I have...6 decks. I have a lot." -Graham.
I have 17. At least one for each tri-color combo, and one for each quad-color combo.

Omg Cam yeeees you inspire me. That was a work of art. I love Dimir
Need more of this
A whole Commander Deck with just commons? Cameron, you are just too cool for this. :D
@1:53:00
"Its roots are equally happy to drink the water of a clear stream or the oily blood of a Phyrexian warrior."

mithrane the outline connectes to the bok around them just follow the line
Ashark7773 Gaming that does not help with commander damage blocks. Either way, it is a design critique to help make future videos better.
mithrane ok i see what you are saying I thought you just ment what player goes to what board that was my bad
a question (without any harmful sides or whatever) if it is all labeled to what is what, does the color even matter at that point? I would understand if some color makes what is written blurry,but if not why would the color matter?
From a design perspective, color always matters. But yes, labels would help.
Cam: “Do you remember the G.I. Joe PSA’s from EbaumsWorld?”
This just made my day!
do u think cam is running storm crow?
really did expect some storm combo there, with the drake and the harpy
Cause common printed storm cards are banned in pauper, but not in EDH-Pauper hybrid
i know right its cam we are talking about cam!!!!!
Kizer5Red loop
Kizer5Red loop
O
Kizer5Red ooooo
Please do more commander, I would watch it every single time you post it on RUclips!
why is it cameron can cast a instant 1:50 and dont pay the land?. i payed the land befor his turn but turned the lands again.???
I love long ass episodes, no sarcasm. Most youtubers dont do them anymore.
Both Ben's and Cam's nails make me incredibly happy!
There are only 2 common legendary creatures, Chandler and Jovan, both in mono-red. Cameron's is from Legends which is a set where the symbol did not change based on rarity. It is an Uncommon if I remember correctly.
Online sets count.
Pauper players love online sets shifting rarity down to common even though when only ever physically printed at higher rarities :D
what are they referencing around the 56:00 - 58:00 minute mark?
any decklists for these decks I'm particularly intrigued by cam's deck
Anyone know where to get the sleeves graham is using? So awesome!
The commander replacement effect happens before hitting the graveyard, but after dieing. Meaning it dies, but doesn't end up in the graveyard.
I have a newfound respect for Graham's perseverance
Ben's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/23-06-17-aristocrats-edh/
Cam's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ramirez-cant-hear-you-until-you-apologize/
Sadly I could not find an up to date version of Graham and Kathleen's lists, but I found an older version of Graham's from the episode of the Command Zone which he was a guest on: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/cmdz-sapling-of-colfenor-graham-stark-lrr/
Was Cameron playing searing blaze in his commander deck?!
Ben's "FUCKING CAMERON!!!" was so SO real, I laughed so much
Can we get the deck lists for these decks?
Magic: The Gathering of Puns
Joshua Jamieson oh my gosh i suck at puns but find them funny once in awhile if its not someone i hear them from all the time
More of this plz. Love you guys coming with your own fun brews.
I watched this liv e but it's actually better on RUclips, I really hope you do way more of these!
Graham, if you add Abzan for your deck with Doran, you could get more access to defense
Ha, I love how Kathleen is brutally honest ,"And, smoke week two hours ago."
I thought she said smoke weed lol
What is Cam’s decklist?
Plz I beg you to tell me how do you build a deck! I have the same commander as Ben...
The fruit Oot - 99 cards, one of each max, only cards that match your commander's colours (artifacts are okay, unless they have effects that use non-commander colours)
Any time I see that full art Damnation I just get mad because I racked up enough reward points that they were supposed to send me one, and they just never did...
J
Where do you guys get those slightly bigger blue dice?! I need a dozen of those.
I see Graham finish counting when Kathleen forgets where she left off and I see the embodiment of marriage
This was the first thing ive seen of LRR, insta subbed
Where is Kathleen's EDH decklist? I must know!
What's the name of the store for the wooden deck boxes? Can't make out the name from the audio.
would genuinely love to play kam's all-common deck
Is Cameron's list online anywhere? seems really cool
deckbox.org/sets/1736922
31:29 "She hit the dirt, but nobody heard" XD
What'cha gonna do with all that junk, all that junk, in her trunk...
What? WHAT!? There was a commander stream that I missed? Really would love if this were more regular content.
50:22 "Fucking Cameron! Let me play Magic the Gathering!"
I'm dead
The Strange Brew episode/GGR references were great. How long did it take to shoot that scene during pre-release?
the card in the middle is too small. can't read it
Probably, Kathleen was the best player in the game. She "forsaw" that cameron was gaining too much life and tried to put the attention on him.
Cam, my man! great game and thanks for representing blue will.
is there a reason why he has nail polish or just because he likes it? first time seeing this
Ryan Sultana As Graham said, they had a nail artist in for Tinker Tailor Solder Fry.
When you read a comment exactly as they explain the answer in the video. 1:28:40
What is in the center that you use to scan the cards? Just curious.
Kathleen's insert box is flipped?
I kinda want to know Cameron's decklist XD
Hey guys I just started running my own commander nights and i was wondering, what do you use to scan the cards with the tablet to have them show up on the screen?
Wait.... was Ben naming his Thopters Terry, Bill and Steve a reference to K97s old Morning show!?
What are those card sleeves on the tree deck? I need them!
Did they ever end up releasing the deck lists? Mostly interested in Camerons.
where were these decks posted?
Is there a firefight going on in the background? :)
For commander damage is it 21 damage from any of the other 3 players commanders? Like if each enemy commander did 7 damage to you does that kill you? Or does it have to be 21 damage from the same source?
commander damage is specific for each player, so one commander needs to deal the full 21 damage to defeat a player
Dear God I'm glad the mics don't pick up their table tapping. I was listening with a headset and though there was an super intense racquet ball game going on two rooms down xD
Dryad arbor doesn't have sommoning sickness it says it right on the future sight version of the card
The version I just looked up says "Dryad arbor isn't a spell, it's affected by summoning sickness..." so it is summoning sick
saw drana and had to watch
Kathleen you make my inner vampire tribal lover happy :)
2:44:58 - I played a commander game where an opponent played an overloaded cyclonic rift and I countered it with pyroblast. Literally the only time I have had fun with Cyclonic Rift.
Is the center of the board, video edited in or did they build/program a contraption to do that "Last card played" overlay? I want to replicate it if possible
so correct me if i'm wrong but i think Graham is playing his commanders attack ability wrong, the card should go to hand either way but he just doesn't get the life triggers?
It would be great if you could have links to decklists in the description.
How do you do the card reader
I love the layout. I hope to catch the live stream next time.
"Fucking Cameron; let me play Magic the Gathering!!!"
Probably my favourite moment, especially because Cam gets to be a wise Blue player.
Cam's story about moving to a new town definitely resonated as well :P
Is there decklists for thease online?
Is Ben's deck up somewhere?
belle Beaton hoping so also! I am looking to make the ghost council just as good as my Obzedat at the helm of a future E.D.H. deck I have in store.
At 1:00 does Cathleen say "woops! Smoke weed two hours ago."?
Graham, do you still need a timber protector?
Is Cameron gonna do anything with the pirates coming in Ixalan?
does anyone have their decklists?
i can feel cold sweat running on my back when a blue player says things like "oh interessting". As a white green black player Cam terrifies me
Decklist yes. Links?!
May I say, Kathleen looks amazing with that new haircut!
wait did I hear that they're in victoria? as in BC. hype
Love the painted nails Ben
