[@gkiyo]

Glad to have another of these! There's no other commander content quite like it - it really hits a sweet spot for me in terms of being well edited and quick paced while still being laid back. Just a joy to watch!

[@OctopusOwl]

Tightly edited but chill AF

[@fellisch9]

Best commander gameplay series on KZbin, no contest.

[@germanyjones2700]

Muddstah is great, commander clash is as well but I just love the LRR crew so much!

[@jonathanblaqk]

I'm definitely really enjoying it!

[@AngeloRosales64]

True. Maybe a year ago I’d argue game knights. By todays standards I’m not gonna lie, game knights is a little to flashy for my taste. I definitely prefer this more humbling version of gameplay. Just friends sitting around playing with some new precons. Everyone has great chemistry with each other. Everyone is charismatic. What more can I say? This is my new favorite commander gameplay channel by far. None even come close.

[@talonfire1640]

@@AngeloRosales64 consider checking out I Hate Your Deck. Season 2 is a lot of fun. Same vibe, main reason I fell in love with that show

[@CromwellMTG]

Muddstah has the variety down tight but its kinda boring without the banter and hearing the deals and other stuff outside the actual game that effect the game. Also ben is a total darling so we all know thats why we here

[@Strident77]

Wheezing and pounding my fist on the table laughing when Wheeler said “SHUFFLE?!?!” And then just as I catch my breath, “Gav-innn” 😂😂 Thank you LRR for being the best

[@Defender-hi3vb]

That dire fleet ravager include is impossibly spicy. I wasn't sure about party in only black and white but looks like they found a way.

[@irreleverent]

I took the secondary commander (Burakos) and made a mono black with him and the tribal undying background. Almost everything in it was budget. Could've absolutely been a precon. Honestly wish they did more mono colored or colorless precons.

[@jackgillespie4594]

@@irreleverent I made that exact same deck!! It's a hilarious monoblack aggro strat

[@irreleverent]

@@jackgillespie4594 Mine is deeply a wild and rickety aristocrats combo deck with vehicles and ways to remove counters. Heinously resilient, even if it does take 4-5 cards to actually "go off".

[@ndillow322]

Loving EDSC, once Graham is doing better and feeling up to it I would love to see him bring Bear Force One onto this show

[@eismatt]

What's going on with Graham?

[@captainc0rgi]

@@eismatt not sure if you got an answer but he is recovering from lymphoma

[@WestleyTaninger]

Ben's face journey during Kathleen's description of her commander was a thing of beauty. And then the rest of the episode lived up to that great start.

[@WestleyTaninger]

Also, (spoiler for the episode and also the past two episodes) Pro Tip for whoever plays in the next EDSC: Top Left is the spot to sit at. This makes three for three games that the Top Left player has won. Coincidence? Absolutely, but a neat trend all the same.

[@charlesmayes7020]

This is by far the best commander content out there.

[@Gophersaurus]

The Chaos Wand - Hex pop off was fantastic! Such a fun game!

[@jesspratt2279]

I refuse to be embarrassed by the excited squeak I just made when I saw a new episode on my feed.

[@minecraftfanaaron]

How DARE you not be embarassed? FEEL EMBARASSED, RIGHT THIS MOMENT!!

[@spinebustertee]

Nelson's 'It's a cleric!' about Mother of Runes is just a great little comment.

[@LRRMTG]

Sleeves are now up for preorder! store.loadingreadyrun.com/collections/mtg-accessories

[@TheIrishJackel]

Any chance you are going to do more EDSC sleeves in the future? I'd love ones with black background, or some combination of the wood/green felt look.

[@nicholashaywood7949]

Already preordered the EDSC sleeves they look so clean!

[@wanderingwestwards7192]

Easily the best commander series on KZbin. It's a perfect balance between banter and gameplay. The pacing is ideal.

[@Pengu92]

I adore this series. All four decks feel good against each other and this is the first game I've seen where Faldorn didn't just automatically pop off which really just makes me happy. I think monthly is definitely the way to do it because weekly would honestly make it wear down too fast (for me at least).

[@fiddlestyxify]

Beardless Graham over here taking me back to the days of laundry jokes and Matt's Transformers collection.

[@djbisson9819]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite commander game play shows! You all rock can’t wait for the next adventure.

[@TheSilverGekko]

This rotating cast is fantastic! I love seeing everyone from LRR mix it up and play vs each other. Very good show.

[@Stoicgame]

Speaking into the void here, but if anyone perusing the comments is considering the party deck I highly recommend looking at the alternative commander/background combo to run the deck. It’s probably just better than the commander without any changes to the deck.

[@PantherTuer]

Thanks, was actually looking to try that deck at my next FNM, gonna give the Background Commander a try then

[@joshholmes1372]

They are both viable. Burakos is much slower, but had in built ramp and with the background out, card draw too. But burakos+folk hero is like 7 mana vs 3 of nalia.

[@Stoicgame]

@@joshholmes1372 hello fellow Josh! The background is 2 mana and Burakos is 4 so it’s actually only 6 mana. Plus the background is an enchantment so it’s harder to remove. Add in the fact that it does nothing when the commander isn’t in play, and it’s actually a really bad target for removal. However, it also shrinks the size of the library by one when it’s in the command zone, so even if it’s never cast the flexibility it adds to the deck makes it slightly better. So the only real assessment that needs to be made is between Burakos and Nalia. Burakos only costs one mana more, but he costs one white mana less. Plus the abilities he has on offer contribute to the overall theme of the deck much more consistently. As you said the built in ramp is really great, but he also can be any role within the party. This reduction in variance makes him the better pick of the two in my opinion. Especially considering the distribution of potential party members throughout the deck. I even think out of the box he may objectively be the better pick, but curious to see what others think.

[@salfredo]

I still don't know why nalia is not also a wizard, she is multiclass in the game and it would have worked great with the party mechanic

[@joshholmes1372]

@@salfredo yeah, that was a weird miss

[@chummer2060]

I love seeing well balanced games like this. Such good tension for the whole time.

[@buddadragonmtg4848]

Glade this is still going the banter from LLR is always spot on lol. Been a fan of the channel since the days of Friday night magic.

[@Finkeldinken]

The editing in these are somehow styled perfectly to my personal taste. Just enough to streamline a bit but no overediting or post-edit bloating. Goldilocks *chef's kiss*

[@kilo3989]

44:50 "Now *I* get a skeleton! Weed mirror!" Out of context this is a hilarious statement--and it's better in context. XD

[@priestly8164]

This is easily my favorite series so far! Thanks for the great content!

[@ericlee1624]

I love seeing you all playing the precons and having fun with it. I'm a huge fan of how well they did the flavor on the BG decks.

[@JakeKamas]

Fantastic episode! Thank you for making these, the editing is so good!

[@DragongodZenos]

I cannot wait to get my sleeves. I had the store page in my bookmarks, checking periodically since you guys announced you'd be making them.

[@jarzz3601]

this was a great episode really cool seeing all these deck doing there things

[@PeterHaderlein]

Everything about these games is so satisfying. From the camera quality to the layout and the zooms and the edit (and of course the Game). I'm sure these take a lot of work, and it shows.

[@MrBojangles1984]

Great game! I enjoy these episodes so much. Thank you for taking the time to record and edit the games for us. I know it's a lot of work, and it is appreciated. The segway mastery by Kathleen at the end is just...fantastic

[@Spotifist]

Yes! ! Love when these pop up in my feed, thanks y’all!

Loving the idea of precon battles. Gives those coming back into magic a look into some decks to pick up and upgrade! Great content guys !

[@Derpmind]

This was a great commander game! It fet like every turn was either doing big powerful magic, or right on the edge of flipping the board. GG!

[@GralaminShieldheart]

I'm not sure if this is the video that had the toxic comments on it, but just in case it was: Here is some clear positivity! Kathleen, Wheeler, Ben, and Nelson are all great to see and good fun!

Toxic comments ?

[@DarthHao]

More please! Glad to see Kathleen piloting Dimir again. Reminds me of the good old Oona days.

This is some goddamn solid MTG content and everyone was great.

[@seminarygamer]

Great episode!

[@SouthpawDG]

After what felt like years FINALLY A NEW EPISODE OF MY FAVORITE SHOW ON THE CHANNEL

[@VBane]

When Ben Wand of Chaosed into Crippling Fear, wouldn't the Wolf created by his commander been created before Fear resolved and died to it? Not trying to nitpick, just making sure I am not misunderstanding the timing rules.

[@viligante8]

I believe that is correct. The spell is cast, he gets a wolf, then crippling fear resolves

[@broodwarjc1517]

Yes, the wolf should have died.

[@maxnagel1383]

That intro is so clean!

[@Antimuffin]

Did you know that "Elder Dragon Social Club" is the same number of syllables as "Alexander Hamilton"? Elder Dragon Social Club! We're watchin' Elder Dragon Social Club! Elder Dragon Social Club! It's so gre-at, it's so gre-at!

[@MrBojangles1984]

Same. I'm happy they decided to pull the trigger on something like this. Game Knights is great and I was hoping that LRR would do something similar to that. There are so many great people that they can bring in just from within their own ranks. Cameron is a favorite of mine. I also like the Bens. All of them really...IDK. Now I'm rambling
