Brandon Sanderson's Power Cube Madness! | MTG Draft Night

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Thanks so much for the amazing game! Hope one day to get a rematch!

[@n.stuckwisch4258]

Will you be at Dragonsteel Nexus in December?!

[@Cromulorf]

Two of my favorite dudes playing my favorite game, what a treat!

[@EionBlue]

Always a treat seeing you pop up in places I don't expect you (but thinking about it, I should),

[@minabasejderha5972]

Dunno why you're blurry in the thumbnail. It's not like people couldn't recognize you by your clothing and the silhouette of your hair.

[@U1TR4F0RCE]

Funnily enough the lore states that while Wrenn is dead Six is actually live and well as a tree in Innistrad. She swapped from Six to Seven before she could burn out Six. With Seven dying in the storyline of march of machines

[@TheWowdrew]

If WOTC made a cosmere set, I'd be sooo happy

[@BaneOfXistence4]

What colors would Kelsier be? B/R/W or B/R/G?

[@272arshan]

@@BaneOfXistence4 just BR

[@sadee4175]

​@@BaneOfXistence4 So I asked Brandon Sanderson that question at a convention. Kelsier according to sanderson is Grixis

[@EvilMagnitude]

Cosmere isn't mainstream enough for a full set yet but a Sanderson Secret Lair feels inevitable.

[@azathoth9250]

I'd be bankrupt

[@SonorianBnS]

You can blur his face, but I’d recognize that suit from anywhere

[@leestauffenecker6227]

It’s either the Prof, or the Doctor. Either way, I’d be hyped

[@lurrusmeow688]

Some say they are one and the same...​@@leestauffenecker6227

[@mcpherson1222]

I love their respective logos behind their life totals. TCC and DS have really clean ones

[@AeynYT]

Brandon is officially a Magic content creator! Welcome to the community

[@jonathansnow21]

Brandon truly loves MTG. To the best of my knowledge, he became an official mtg content creator in 2018 with the publication of Children of the Nameless and the creation of the Davriel Planeswalker.

[@sburbtube6766]

He literally wrote an official MTG novel. Too bad Wizards broke his trust and agreement and deleted the free version of the book from their website. Because of that backstabbing we might never see another MTG book written by Brandon.

[@andrewwilson895]

Very nice Mana Drain…but it's a bit hard to watch a game of Magic when I can't see the table. Love the idea though. I'd love to see more of the Cube play. Just make this an MTG channel.

[@flanbeau]

55s in: "oh, there is a Game Knight command zone with brandon sarandon, oh!?" -> pause, search, next to watch, unpause.

[@nachoalfonso2614]

Oh, and it's a good one.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

Nico Brando!!!!

[@peeporiot9948]

All time crossover. Love both of them 🩵

[@Matti_Mattsen]

Fun fact, during this game of Magic the Gathering, Brandon Sanderson wrote another book

[@Ouvii]

Reminds me of THAT Daniel Green skit

[@Matti_Mattsen]

@@Ouvii *slides Laptop back and forth*

[@Porthector88]

I have been reading Brandon's novels for over a decade, I have seen him live and followed most of his live broadcasts and podcasts. This is probably the nerdiest I've ever seen him.

[@frandaart]

there´s a command zone video starring brandon´s multiplayer commander cube with custom "draftable rules" (kind of like conspiracies) created by brandon himself!

[@frandaart]

he´s as nerdy there as he is here!

[@pinkowl9752]

You clearly haven't watched his BYU writing classes where he wears the hat

[@pwoo581]

Favorite author and favorite magic content creator in one video!!!

[@MostToxicGamingEDH]

When I received the notification about this video I thought there must have been an error. My favorite Magic KZbinr playing my favorite author. What an unexpected treat. I really hope we get a Cosmere Universes Beyond some day.

[@vancekuto]

I attended a Return to Ravnica draft at a local game store where Brandon was signing books and playing against people between rounds. I did a clean sweep 3-0 in the event (thanks Pack Rat) but ultimately lost my match against Brandon, largely due to my own Havoc Festival. It was a fun night and I got some books signed.

[@lonsunocook]

Thanks Professor for being such a positive person I am glad I got to see you play magic with Brandon it made my day.

[@mcpherson1222]

It’s nice seeing someone like the professor coming onto someone’s channel that has about half the subscribers he does.

[@arenkai]

HOLY MOTHER....... What is this ????? The best crossover ever ?????

[@zombiefiedchris]

The Tolarian Emblem and the Dragonsteel Look like banners you'd see on the Field of Merrilor before some major action.

[@aydensauvageau9393]

This is great, I do wish we could actually see the board

[@OaterMcBoats]

This is the crossover I didn't know I needed! Just got into MTG last month which led me to The Prof and have been reading your work for years, Bradon. Cannot wait for Wind and Truth!

[@willporter7344]

I love how The Professor always takes the time to shout out his friends and other MTG creators whenever he has the opportunity.

[@nbarker20]

This would be a dream come true. Love all your work Mr. Sanderson. I'm not sure how you find the time to play Magic between writing hundreds of books a week.

[@spedcuber178]

This video brightened my day, love seeing creators I admire cross paths and such

[@RJAMiniatures]

The crossover I didn’t know I needed but super happy to have!! 😎

[@samtrott776]

More of this, please!! I would love to see more of this cube. Between the game Knights episode and this I am so curious to see your cube played more. I know you are so busy with writing and meeting deadlines, but if you ever find yourself playing this sick cube I and many of your audience would be more than delighted to see any more magic content you create!!

[@brunocarranzaaragon921]

JLK has a cosmere leatherbound in the back of the Game Knights studio.

[@combobreaker449]

This is so wild, my favorite high fantasy author and the professor in one video. Yes.

[@jeffspicoli2464]

found this community a few months ago and the way the people appear to treat eachother is so awesome in this community. keep it cool you guys

[@TK-zd7ym]

Writing amazing stories and playing Magic with one of my favorite KZbin content creators. Truly an amazing collab.

[@fauxwit6535]

I was literally just asking for more magic content from Brandon! Frick yeah!

[@lloydnoid6506]

This is the jolliest duo I could ever concieve

[@Christopher0601]

Goated crossover, love both of these lads. Would be great to get more Brandon cube content

[@Duckfest]

What is happening. Brandon Sanderson is the third KZbin channel (after Kira and Moist) that I follow that is suddenly releasing Magic the Gathering content right now. Is there a Magic boom happening that I wasn't aware of? I know it's not a new interest for any of them, especially Sanderson has been massively into Magic for a long time. But it seems hardcore MTG content is normal now. Which is fascinating. And quite cool actually.

[@jonathansnow21]

You're spot on that Brandon, especially, has been into mtg for a long, long time. If I had to guess why the uptick now? I'd guess Universes Beyond for all creators (extending their reach into other IPs). In addition, for Brandon specifically, he's making larger plays now after his record setting kickstarter. My guess is he's setting the stage for his own universes beyond content as well as more expanded media, outside his novels.

[@VengirSvogthos]

I do like seeing the professors more casual side when he's not acting for the camera, it shows him as more than just his persona, which is often hard to see with celebs and youtubers. I like the professor, and I like Brian who plays the professor.

[@Hugo-qf1wb]

Brandon an universes beyond x cosmere is something I need like water please 😢 *And btw no kidding the other day I dreamt of this collab, literally a dream come true!!!!

[@cre8rzaw]

One of my favorite authors and one of my favorite MTG influencers! What a treat!!!

[@whotheheckcares]

Love this crossover of my interests. Also, to add to the GRRM conversation, I met him at C2E2 2010 just walking around the convention floor. This was before he became a truly household name, but as a huge fan of both ASOIAF and Wild Cards, I recognized him immediately. He was kind enough to stop and converse with a fanboy for almost ten minutes as we discussed how hard it was to find the early Wild Card books and how much I loved his books. Great memory of my little hipster moment of "I met GRRM before he was 'cool'."

[@davidsantiago7808]

Now i know why we're not getting more books, bros too busy playing magic. Jokes aside, i would actually want Brandon to write an MTG book, it would be insane.

[@stanmarsh3716]

I'm so happy to see this collab ❤

[@johnherron2578]

You have been one of my favorite authors for years, and never knew you were an MTG fan! I hope wizards can convince you to do a Cosmere Secret Lair!

[@kennyvaas1336]

Fun to see Brando Sando play MTG with an MTG celebrity! This Cube looks like it's been going for a long time. It also looks like it's a little lower power level than current MTGO Cube or Cubes from content creators right now. Not criticism, just fun to see. I'd love to see a full Cube list for this Cube! :).

[@Ljrobison]

Holy crap. I never expected to see my favorite author and my favorite MTG content creator together.. let alone playing my favorite format? What is going on?

[@STS-qi1qy]

Wish there was a better table view but love the banter and interaction so still well worth the watch.

[@erikstone8336]

I really appreciate this video! One of my favorite authors and one of my favorite KZbinrs!

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

I feel like Brandon got really into MTG around 2010-2015 area and has less time to keep up with all the new sets. So many nostalgic cards, really fun video. Prof as always is a great guest.

[@Laggerslam]

more of that, please aaaand thank you!

[@ttahhhaaha]

This is the most formal mtg game ever

[@definitelynotadj]

I think Dragonsteel have learned how much skill goes into filming/editing magic, particularly physical magic! I think Cardmarket are the gold standard for this. Tolarian College and Spike Feeders do a brilliant job too. Still a fun video. You should totally do an MTG related 5 faves sometime!

[@RobotButlerJ]

Brandon Sanderson playing Magic?!?!?! Why am I just finding out about this??? He is my favorite author of all time!

[@askthepaperclip]

I didn't understand any of that, but still somehow enjoyed it!

[@sceilig7496]

i have no idea what is happening but it's fun to watch them play XD

[@nojerama788]

Learning that Brandon plays MtG is both wild and super exciting, loved this crossover!!!

[@SldgeHammr]

Brandon also wearing a cowboy bebop shirt is pretty sick

[@The7thSid]

I absolutely love this critical mass of gentlemanly Magic. GGs boys.

[@EthanHill-g6r]

This was a pleasant surprise from your channel. MTG with the professor no less. Fun stuff.

[@Nylspider]

Prof + Sando was NOT a crossover I was expecting, but I am glad to have been here to experience it

[@FPRobber]

Brandon Sanderson showing up on Game Knights is what got me into the Cosmere. The Prof showing up here out of nowhere is going full circle

[@Nightwishmaster]

Him finishing The Wheel of Time was my introduction to him. He's one of my absolute favorite authors of all time and I've been rereading WoT again lately which is funny that now that I'm close to his books with plans to reread some cosmere novels afterwards this randomly popped up on my feed.

[@chriscockrell9495]

A limited man. I love it. The latest set. There is nothing like playing magic with bad cards. Opening packs, drafting cards for the collection, deck building, playing the deck, considering how to best sideboard.

[@WayneyMTG]

Love to see this, thank you for bringing us this game

[@Khyrberos]

Brando Sando & Professor? Heck yeah. Wouldn't mind seeing more MtG from this channel. : ) (it's kinda nice to see the table/cards, though)

[@rayswift5711]

My lord! The Professor is playing against this young author!

[@rextitan]

Some people watch this video and see a game of Magic. I watch this video and see two people being very polite to each other while decorating a table. And I enjoyed all twenty nine minutes of it.

[@OddModlin]

As a magic player who consumes a lot of content, the production of this is fascinating to watch

[@YoGramGram1]

A crossover that makes sense, but is still hilarious and unexpected! Love it!!!

[@antoniocuevas6311]

BRANDONNNNNNNN PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN TCG SLEEVES!!!!!!! I want mistborn/roshar sleeves

[@Shashvor]

Playing a cube draft with an amazing author is now on my bucketlist.

[@LegendaryAnon]

great surprise seeing this, I have been reading elantris and love it. Would love to see the board state while watching this!

[@howedaddy6122]

Started following the professor recently. What a crazy coincidence of a crossover between two unlikely people

[@dragonminutes4750]

You're both so fluent in yapanese 😂😩 love you guys

[@EkkosUwU]

Brandon Sanderson playing MTG and wearing a cowboy bepop shirt. What timeline am i in lol.

[@VagrantKing]

Randomly rereading the Alloy of Law audiobook last night and then this game pops up in my feed 😂 love The Prof and love your books ❤

[@david21216]

Always another great day to see the cube played again!!!

[@Aaackermann]

Oh no! I was so rooting for you, Prof! Unfortunate missplay. But it happens to the best of us!

[@alonelykouda]

almost done with rhythm of war! its been a long journey through each book but has been totally worth the ride keep it up.

[@MosBaked]

This is amazing, the book I just started's author is playing magic with prof! So sick

[@ian-wilder]

Man, I didn't know that I had wanted this video. Now here I am, indulging. Thanks!!!

[@dougisacat]

I feel like a top down camera is pretty needed here

[@readitandweep69]

I hope there’s more coming from these two, would love a five favorites or something

[@janciosadsky3709]

lovely! great collab i did not expect

[@macdougalli2277]

Brandon, are we ever going to see you wrote more Davriel Cane? Your work on Children of the Nameless was some of the most fun ive had reading magic story in years!

[@itzcwg8986]

The greatest crossover of all time

[@HansZander-x9n]

Where are the rest of the players?!? To draft a cube with Brandon and the Prof you would lean so much!

[@cl0k3]

Honestly, it's cool that prof's still willing to play with you when you've been unfairly mired in controversy.

[@mikenahmias7102]

Best cube? You need to have a match with The Magic Historian and his cube. Btw, he speaks very highly of you. Loved Wheel of Time and Children of the Nameless.

[@binksee]

Cosmere universes beyond WHEN!

[@daveprice5911]

Wow. Extremely unexpected video but I am not surprised at ALL lmao

[@randygrandwizard4940]

Big throw by the professor there and Sanderson played quite well!

[@ichp00ndu]

Fun video! It looks like Brandon made a mistake in Game 2 when he cast Wrenn and Six (13:00) - that looks like an island (and it was later used to cast Mana Drain) so I don't think he had the right mana for it

[@williambrown5934]

Prof & Josh… I have times that given what is said with their unique relationship, if the are friends or frien-emies lol 🤣😅 Hmm 21:37 Had to look to see if I could find the story behind the death of this plainswalker, as they come up with some great stories for their cards!

[@SanctuaryReads]

Can't begin to say how awesome seeing these two fine people on the same screen! Sorry to sound nitpicky, but next time there's MTG content, could the angle of the camera be such that we can see the cards on the table a little better? Much of the board state isn't visible. LOVE THAT WE GET THIS CONTENT THOUGH

[@doc6427]

Two of my favorite people! Wonderful games!

[@davidhansen5067]

The Shuffle Up and Play-style bleeping is a good call-out.

[@VincentTurregano]

OMG, This is the Collab that I've needed!

[@rockandrolljew89]

PROF! Brandon gets to hang with all the cool people

[@Cosmeregirl]

What a final game! And lands for days with that deck.

[@sburbtube6766]

This was awesome! I really hope Wizards apologizes for breaking Brandon Sanderson's trust and make another cooperation happen in the future.

[@dieentdeckung]

This is the crossover I needed in my heart

[@xZuunes]

The Prof himself! Do you have a list of your cube by any chance? Love your channel!

[@spartan316kaos]

Game 3 when the Kitchen Finks etb'd Brandon should've taken 1 from the Rampaging Ferocidons. Also, in 2016 I drafted with Brandon Sanderson at DragonCon and he kicked my butt

[@LargeMcBottoms]

Congratz on the Dragonsteel win this weekend!!

[@derelict844]

Those Arabian Nights mountains are totes gorgeous.
