I'm 11 minutes into this and it feels like Ben Ulmer has grabbed me by the lapels and dared me to just try and not watch the rest of this. You win Bengineering. My attention is held and I am terrified of your work ethic.
I am posting this comment so that the RUclips algorithm knows that I enjoy this kind of content, and would like to see more of it. Praise be to algo-rithm.
I am one of those idiots that would used to Momir Vic for one. One game it got me a Rhys The Redeemed, which was AMAZING. Think about it, you can double all your creatures for 6 mana! Best game ever.
Momir Vig is a Ravnican who got a card in Discension, but more importantly he had a "Vanguard" on MtGO. It worked like this deck works, except it could pick any creature on the client. It was a very popular format in which your deck was 60 basic lands. Arena has kind of fooled around with versions of it, but in typical Wizards' fashion it's not anywhere near as good as the original and they put nonland cards in it. Zacama being like the only hit at his mana value made it just a race to BIG DINO. You lost if you went second unless you lucked into a mana dork.
Wheeler, at 02:40 : "It's no Winnipeg, Manitoba!" Me, without skipping a beat: "One great city!" (And if you get this reference, we'd probably get along well :D )
Momir Vig really highlights how important context is, cause Heliod and mazzy are probably both generally better creatures but Orzhov Racketeer was the best pull so far because it actually does something here
Nice pleasant gift while working on Christmas after spending last night with my transphobic family. Thanks for providing something nice on this otherwise horrid day.
I JUST finished my fungus deck with a bunch of Fallen Empires crap, so if I wasn't already using my copy of Sarpadian Empires Vol III I would snap make a homarid/camarid deck
My friend and I ordered cards from Card Kingdom in November, still haven't arrived. In doing so, we had hoped we might get them before christmas. Fast delivery maybe, but not if you live in Europe. Not sure if any other europeans have experienced the same lackluster experience, but I at the very least haven't seen many other options for single Magic cards at a decent price.
Sorry to hear you’ve had a slow time with Card Kingdom. I’m based in Europe and have been using Card Market for a couple of years now. Cards come in multiple deliveries, but I’ve had no issues with any of the sellers.
I've ordered from CK a few times, and on all the intances, they've packed and shipped the cards quickly. The issue lies with the postal service and customs.. I live in the frigid North of Europe, and have gotten my packages from CK about 4 weeks after they've shipped them. Not much of a help, but I hope your package will arrive safe soon.
@@ChillingWithMorty True enough, it may be that the fault lies not with CK, but rather with Ascendia, whom ships across the sea to me, and then mine own customs and postal service, of those i know to lay a large portion of the blame. My dilemma is with the fact that i want to continue supporting LRR through their affiliate link, and get my button in the process. That against the seeming superior pricing and shipping of Card Market (though i dislike being sent loads of seperate packages). Thank you for your advice, and i did recieve a notification that it had arrived recently in my country, however, as previously stated, the customs office and postal service here in Sweden are worth less than the lint found in near the bellybutton.
@@kamikazehansu True, but I also want to support LRR, as I have for a few years now. Were it not for the fact that some of those cards are intended as chistmas presents, I wouldn't have a problem with waiting a bit longer, but there you are. Though as i said to ChillingWithMorty, it may be the case that the problem lies with Ascendia, and not CK, not to mention the customs office and postal service of my country.
Why not do a learning video for CardFight Vanguard? Its a pretty unique gameplay system and i think yall would enjoy it would love to see more people interested in a game i have loved for 12 years
Ok, like 2 weeks late and I haven’t finished the vod so maybe it comes up, but I play Digimon TCG and want to offer a way for Pagumon to work. Digi-eggs are supposed to be in their separate deck and get played to a safe zone. You can have it digivolve and then later come out as a stronger Digimon. So let’s do it this way. At the start of your upkeep, you may reveal a digi-egg from your hand and exile it. Do this only if you have no digi-eggs or cards with digi-eggs underneath them in exile. At the start of your upkeep, if you have a card with a digi-egg underneath it in exile, you may play it without paying is mana cost. If you do, it gains haste. And, you may digivolve a digi-egg you control in exile into creatures from your hand. Activate only as a sorcery. As for digivolving, the bottom ability stays visible and relevant (like with mutate), and the card it digivolves into needs to be an equivalent of a level 3 (since digi-eggs are level 2). I would say a 3-cost card, but I would also say a grade-3 card would also work… What I’m saying is, I want Pagumon to digivolve into Mutsunokami!!!
That's not actually true - while damage can't be redirected to it if it's left the battlefield, the redirection doesn't go on the stack. So if you use Martyrdom to redirect all damage from a bunch of attacking creatures, like here, all the combat damage is dealt at the same time and is redirected at the same time, *before* state-based actions are checked and the creature dies.
@@ChangelingRain Why wouldn't the redirection use the stack? It's an ability that you're activating that isn't a special action, so it would go on the stack right.
edmonton: a fate worse than calgary
The real gift is you all.
That's very wholesome of you
Maybe the true Loading was the ready we run along the way
Damn straight.
When Nelson revealed Greavard and Pagumon I realized this game feels like what my parents would think MTG is
seeing cameron get so happy getting homarids makes me smile so much oml. much love to all of you at LRR you guys are the best keep it up
I'm 11 minutes into this and it feels like Ben Ulmer has grabbed me by the lapels and dared me to just try and not watch the rest of this. You win Bengineering. My attention is held and I am terrified of your work ethic.
What festive clothes Cam is wearing.... wait a second!
Thank you Nelson for correctly ruling on coat of arms. So many people get it wrong.
I just wanted to say thank you all at LRR for an amazing year of content! I'm very excited for what you have in store for next year!
My LGS did the same thing. We call it "White Loxodon" and all the decks must be a Pauper Commander Deck. We had lots of fun!
I am posting this comment so that the RUclips algorithm knows that I enjoy this kind of content, and would like to see more of it. Praise be to algo-rithm.
It's the most wonderful time of year! I love this concept and wish there was a Holidays in July version of it.
Excellent, as always. Thank you Ben!
This was the perfect thing to watch while wrapping presents :)
Huge props to Ben, those decks are incredible.
Thank you all for all the joy you bring to the world! Happy holidays to y'all and yours.
Terrible to hear about Ben Ulmer. Ligma is a terrible disease.
Who's Steve Jobs?
@@hannahgeraghty4201 STEVE JOBS MY BALLS
anyways hope ya both got an amazing christmas
It's fitting that Kathleen opened the Crack a Pack deck, even if she didn't actually play it.
This, this is the ultimate chaos of a commander game I need in my life. All the bad cards make me so happy.
I know I am going to make Cameron's deck
Thanks for having this game, it's a gift to be here
I am one of those idiots that would used to Momir Vic for one. One game it got me a Rhys The Redeemed, which was AMAZING. Think about it, you can double all your creatures for 6 mana! Best game ever.
this is so good in a way that’s making me feel deeply emotional i love everyone in this LGS
I feel like the non magic cards could have worked so well in the Dreadmaw deck. EVERYTHING is a Dreadmaw after all.
Ben was in the Twitch chat and was apologetic, he thought Nelly/the table would come up with fun things to do with those cards in Nelson's deck.
@@gaz-l621In the end it was funny, and isn't that what truly matters?
I feel like now I know what watching a game of commander would feel like if I had never played magic before:
22:39 Ben Wheeler Meshuggah reference??? He's even cooler than I already thought he was
As an Edmontonian, and knowing it's the murder capital of Canada, I can confirm: RIP Ben...
Cam jamming his elbow again and again is a great running bit.
Christmas Cheers :)
Woah, thank you!!
no worries at all
Another delightful year of my favorite internet peoples! Happy holidays to all
"Talkin' Nautilids" sounds like a Punt Counterpunt segment
gotta say, BIG fan of Kathleen's deck
Okay, what the heck is Momir Vic, and why do all these people know it already?? 😅😂
Momir Vig is a Ravnican who got a card in Discension, but more importantly he had a "Vanguard" on MtGO. It worked like this deck works, except it could pick any creature on the client.

The way I SCREAMED when George showed up
Thank you so much for this. I love weird and wacky commander
I've never laughed so hard at the Edmonton being worse than Calgary. Thank you wheeler
OMG, this is going to be an insane commander match, I cannot wait to see who wins.
I did expect to hear the words ORATRICE MECANIQUE D'ANALYSE CARDINALE in this video
This was a ton of fun! I loved the goofiness. ^_^
Hey Wheeler, it’s me, the absolute Sicko who goes 1, 2, 3 in Momir
This was super fun!
Merry Christmas LRRcrew
Hopefully this can help pay for poor Cameron's medical bills after the amount of times he yeeted himself ❤ @1:34:59
I would pay at least $20 for a LRR sound pack
Mildly off topic question, are the Ravnica glasses from 1:32:45 available for retail purchase?
Always happy to see Squirrel Armies!
Elephant for the elephant god!
Just watched but incredible episode!
Nice pleasant gift while working on Christmas after spending last night with my transphobic family. Thanks for providing something nice on this otherwise horrid day.
2:39 thanks wheeler very appreciated
ok but i love Cam's xmas jumper!
Man, Edmonton gets a bum rap. Love this place. The food is so good.
was tabbed out and absolutely not prepared for the boopa scoopa music
2:19:53 oh man Cameron. BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you
The cardfight vanguard card caught me by surprise
Merry Christmas
Cameron's sweater is fire
Cameron's sweater is great
Thank you for this wonderful gift LRR, and for everything y'all do moving forward
Cam! I love your sweater!!! Where did he get that? I neeeed it
absolutely cackled when I saw the momir deck
I JUST finished my fungus deck with a bunch of Fallen Empires crap, so if I wasn't already using my copy of Sarpadian Empires Vol III I would snap make a homarid/camarid deck
As someone from Winnipeg that true
Almost 3h commander game is a gift.
Personally I think Kathleen's deck is the best!
phantastic
Fantastique.
Fantastique
Edmonton being a fate worse than Calgary is only said by people who've never driven in both.
I remember losing from not having a forest after riping river boa playing momir.
