[@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

[@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.

[@mcpherson1222]

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

[@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 🩵

[@zombiefiedchris]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@pwoo581]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@arenkai]

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

[@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!

[@aydensauvageau9393]

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

[@lonsunokrogan]

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.

[@combobreaker449]

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

[@RJAMiniatures]

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

[@spedcuber178]

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

[@brunocarranzaaragon921]

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

[@fauxwit6535]

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

[@stanmarsh3716]

I'm so happy to see this collab ❤

[@Christopher0601]

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

[@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.

[@erikstone8336]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@joyrowancasey788]

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

[@binksee]

Cosmere universes beyond WHEN!

[@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.

[@askthepaperclip]

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

[@cre8rzaw]

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

[@STS-qi1qy]

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

[@david21216]

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

[@user-gc6ij6pr1s]

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

[@mattkidroske]

Hell yeah! Great guest

[@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*

[@doc6427]

Two of my favorite people! Wonderful games!

[@VincentTurregano]

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

[@Nylspider]

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

[@coleepley8985]

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

[@The7thSid]

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

[@randygrandwizard4940]

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

[@dungeonsathome]

What a surprise! Much love to the professor

[@janciosadsky3709]

lovely! great collab i did not expect

[@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 ❤

[@LargeMcBottoms]

Congratz on the Dragonsteel win this weekend!!

[@ian-wilder]

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

[@Kyrbi0]

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

[@DabbleDo]

Here for the banter 🙌

[@brokenredflag]

Magic seems intresting. Grate video👏👏

[@Aaackermann]

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

[@dragonminutes4750]

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

[@readitandweep69]

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

[@Cosmeregirl]

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

[@Shashvor]

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

[@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

[@Boar_Gamer]

the collab we DESERVED! 😍

[@dieentdeckung]

This is the crossover I needed in my heart

[@onionscoop]

I'd be interested in more videos like this

[@cl0k3]

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

[@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!

[@idontseeyoureplys]

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

[@rayswift5711]

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

[@seraphimdunaway8084]

Great video!

[@antoniocuevas6311]

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

[@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.

[@PoliteHostility]

Oh my god the Prof and Sando? Amazing

[@OddModlin]

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

[@tarvox14]

Love an unexpected crossover episode 😄

[@SCBennett2]

Game Rule Violation: Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy’s activated ability isn’t optional. If there are five or more cards in your graveyard he has to flip.

[@deekotaarchibold6424]

God this made me want a stormlight magic cross over so bad!!! I dream of the day of when I can have Dhalinar as my commander

[@parkernoyce4295]

Top 10 number of content for me!

[@grantwillis2029]

Playing a game of commander with Sanderson... bucket list

[@nebricback1430]

Love seeing this

[@Trisjack20]

This is just a lot of wholesome fun.

[@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!!!!

[@howedaddy6122]

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

[@UnhingedBear]

now we just need a Brandon Sanderson/LoadingReadyRun crossover

[@thesamuraiman]

Yo, this is the coolest crossover ever 🤣

[@briankuczynski6884]

3:39 Wrenn is dead, Six is still stomping around wherever Wrenn left them. There wasn't some violent separation in Wrenn's move from Six to Seven.

[@andersnielsen3217]

This is great :D

[@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! :).

[@Grunik1618]

That was a brutal Mana Drain. lol

[@bronwynecg]

❤❤❤❤❤ best crossover ever! 😁😁😁☺️👌🏽

[@user-ug5yu8og6l]

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

[@avsambart]

I have no idea how this game works but I enjoyed watching.

[@rockandrolljew89]

PROF! Brandon gets to hang with all the cool people

[@wverms]

such an exciting notification to get

[@sburbtube6766]

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

[@mockduckcompanion]

Amazing crossover

[@althechicken9597]

Sanderson vs. Jamie lannister playing a game of Nine Kings? What a crossover

[@xZuunes]

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

[@Windwhisper91]

Now i would love to see a Kaladin or Dalinar Commander Deck. :D

[@really.really.]

Lightning Serpent is a nice Firedrinker Satyr substitute, a newer option, Falkenrath Pit Fighter, both fun options I believe. Edit: Zurgo Bellstrider might also be cool

[@msorsher]

Hoid is the professor in our universe

[@jdazzani]

OMG OMG OMG I ALWAYS WANTED THIS
