Oooh my gosh gift a fish .. yeah I didn’t understand why they chose fish & not some cute furry critter…. It’s so people can gift gold fish :)

[@ThorgisArcade]

Hearing you guys talk about Lutri filled me with joy. That little guy is born to go into a Bloomburrow otter deck, just put a restriction on him that he can't be your Companion in Commander and we're good.

[@arjunheart5859]

Wish effects don't work in commander. Neither should companion.

[@fredzfrog]

11:55 ish for those wanting a timestamp :)

[@thadrin]

My son has built an otters deck. We got him custom Lutri sleeves from a certain Danish company who do not sponsor Hijinks, simply so the good elemental boy was there in spirit.

[@Trogdorbad]

​@@arjunheart5859Wish effects should work solely because the official reasoning they don't is exceptionally goofy. "We don't have a sideboard so Wishes have nothing to get" doesn't make sense when the core rules state Wishes only care about the sideboard in sanctioned events, and use "anything you own" in all other situations.

Okay I’m very happy the Dr. Seuss intro is going to be standard 😂😂

[@dragonknite314]

Does that mean it's going to rotate in 3 years?

[@WiLDRAGE777]

@@dragonknite314 Maybe longer if it's part of the foundation.

[@austinanderson8037]

Botany Bay not sure the name of the episode but I do know it was brought back for the Wrath of Khan and I always love the moment that Checov is recalling the name "Botany Bay? ...Botany Bay?.... Botany Bay!"

[@ninkachusalt7252]

57:17 - definitely agree with the avatar reference LOL "my cabbages 😭" 😂😂

Starting a petition for your 100k video you need a compilation of fans sending in clips of them making goose sounds :'D

[@mightyone3737]

Or telling goose stories, like the time I was caught flatfooted by a goose while profoundly hungover (yet still on my way to my morning class)... they let you get good and close, then it's all "HONK!" so loud you almost shit yourself.

"All I wanna do Is see you step into A GIANT ROBOT A GIANT ROBOT" - Olivia Gobert-Hicks, probably.

[@kfunky209]

I LOVED the whimsical sounding ad reel for the watch sponsor, didn't even need to watch the gameplay to drop a like

[@mightyone3737]

No offense to TK, but Higher is such an underappreciated content creator, such a joy to see him on here, even if he's not on Kinnan! Not going to lie, I just said 'I would be the try-hard that chooses OG Eldraine, both for the insane cards and Kenrith'. Then Olivia picks him! lol!

[@barrytdrake]

Khan's first episode: Space Seed! I saw it on our 19" Zenith B&W TV. I didn't get the redshirt jokes until I went to college and finally watched a Star Trek episode in color.

[@ysobwolfantior1207]

The one gamegenic item I want is a Commander at home life counter TBH!

[@stormtrooperjeepjk]

Omg the holzkern ad was cool..... Good job!

[@Agaures]

My friends and I did this one night, but we just did the, "open a box" route! I ended up doing Ikoria, and ran Nethroi, Apex of Death. It's a very cool thing, and I might try to rebuild that deck, but open to the whole set.

[@bkyang624]

Free Lutri! Free Lutri!! Izzet Otters needs him!!

[@servillo8723]

I am incredibly late to the party here, but yay for Olivia liking Star Trek! And I'm nerdy enough to know that the Botany Bay appeared in the TOS episode Space Seed.

[@CianDelano]

Not done yet, but already a favorite for mention of Little Bunny Fufu, the Big Rock Candy Mountain video was a huge favorite of mine when I was a little kid, so rare people actually seem to know about it it seems!

[@trashcan_papi]

More people should put building constraints like this on themselves. It’s much more interesting than just cramming Hoof into any token deck or slotting Norn into humans just because she’s good.

[@StephenDakota]

YES! MY MAN BROUGHT A RX-78 GUNDAM TO A MAGIC BATTLE! love this episode!

[@muninn92]

I have done this with my playgroup. It was a lot of fun. I built a strong Obeka outlaws deck.

[@camoyuki]

How does Obeka work limited to Thunder Junction cards? Iirc there are only one or two cards with upkeep triggers

[@muninn92]

@camoyuki using the enchantment double down and protecting Laighing Jasper Flint was the main goal. It was kind of a secret commander deck but I could use counterspells and the double down enchantment

[@stephanieholmes7144]

Worthwhile to the eyeballs and the earballs as always!

[@danmurgy9125]

Ah, the S.S. Botany Bay, KHAAAAAAN's sleeper ship from Space Seed. Named after the penal colony in Australia if memory serves.

[@ethanglaeser9239]

I was already going to play Lutri in my 99 for the lols, but now Olivia has told me I am allowed!!

[@Flyboy245]

Olivia is into Star Trek? 😱😱. That’s awesome!! The Botany Bay was the ship that khan and his crew were discovered on in the original series Also fun format. Pick a set, buy a box, build a deck. Sweet

[@sophelios]

That Holzkern ad really tickled my brain :D

[@GoldSabertooth]

Love you Higher and TK! Great guests

[@izzetchris9829]

The Almighty Brushwagg is the rarest + oddly cutest pokemon😅

[@kevinwestermann1001]

I concur. Lutri did nothing right. He was approximately the most empty-headed planeswalker of all time.

[@DraggaRyuu]

Do you mean Lukka?

[@BBreal818]

Easy just build a deck from MOM. That set has so many good cards for commander.

[@galisdraekon]

Botany Bay was Khan Noonien Singh’s ship from Original Series episode “Space Seed” and Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan.

[@joshuaforrest4135]

I’m very happy to have Olivia speak of “space seed” the episode of TOS to first feature khan Singh

[@gordonbusseau9349]

That episode would be "Space Seed" where the crew yeets Khan and his crew into space.

[@monsieurm0u731]

Was this episode inspired by Ben Brode XD?

[@professorpantherhardraad3921]

Had to be

[@stelliocantos4639]

woot! I'm not the only one who sometimes uses Gunpla as a token. Also, I'm a believer in Lutri in the 99 being ok. One day, he'll be set free, but til then I allow it with house rules cuz it's really no different from playing a deck with Dualcaster Mage, Twinflame, etc. Great game, I had a great time. Thanks for playing! For Olivia: Space Seed, homie. I would have given 100 extra points if there was the short clip of Chekov in Wrath saying, "Botany Bay... Oh NO!" (whispers) even though he wasn't in that episode. XD

[@w00dm31st3r]

This is actually how I build my commanders most of the time lol assassin’s creed and any ixalan set

[@camoyuki]

I have LOVED the idea of building commander decks from only individual sets, but they would be pretty weak for most tables and it's hard to organize a group like this

[@john-markdawson9991]

I love how much Olivia loves vehicles! I'm the only one who plays vehicles in my play group and currently have 2 dedicated vehicle decks. Olivia please talk to the wizards and convince them to make a wuborg vehicle dedicated commander 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@WintersTide7]

Megas XLR was right. Chicks really do dig giant robots

[@Gorene]

First off, as a known player of hate auras, I love seeing someone else play one of my personal favorite magic cards: Frogify. I refuse to take it out of my Talrand deck. Second, while I do not recall the original episode name (never watched TOS) I think any fan of Star Trek recognizes and fears the words Botany Bay and the terror that is Khan Nunian Singh. Also Garak is the best character in all Star Trek. Come at me all.

[@user-fq6ow8tw1k]

I know he's not from ikorea but Timmy, Power Gamer

[@9807036]

Whoohoo new hijinks! Gonna catch this after work but now I’m even more excited to get home and enjoy. Super excited to see the guests and love the deck theme based off the set!

[@9807036]

Home from work, time to watch :3

[@9807036]

Yup definitely worth the wait, I’m a little sad my favorite plane/set didn’t make it but that’s ok. Alara forever!

[@thriftypsgr]

My friends and I are doing this exact thing November. We each get to pick one standard set from this year and build a deck from it. I can’t wait

[@Umnoss]

Olivia confirming once again that she really represents me in the committee. Loved the game! Quick question (out of the blue): can we have a time estimation on when the silver border legally review will be done? (big eyes puppy face).

[@steveme6664]

Episode is named the seed I believe? Original Star Trek 😊 43:27

[@MysticTC_99]

Love this episode so much. It had Light-Paws ❤, it had birds (Kastral is my new commander I'm building around so I'm excited), it has Vehicles(ISSA GUNDAM!!)and just complete chaos lol Couldn't ask for better

[@user-kh3th5eh2g]

A Dr Seuss commercial!!!!

[@stellatedhexahedron6985]

MECH! TITAN! CORE!

[@lichtheimer]

A note that may or may not have influenced the game: Kingfisher makes 1/1 Fish, not 1/1 Bird. So while Kingfisher is a Bird the tokens it makes aren't and don't full synergize. Seemed like a missed wording note.

[@iamStephanieHolmes]

I heard “Ill show you what Im gonna do” - Moira Rose (as is quoted in my Necrobloom deck) at 12:45 😂

@@Halinn o Eowyn for sure. The value is insane. The Lord of Nazgûl’s and the Sam/frodo decks normally do really well too

Botany Bay (i did not need to look this up because i am an old nerd) TOS - "Space Seed" it is the name of the ship Khan Noonian Singh is on.

was it banished on Ceti Alpha V or Ceti Alpha VI

[@jimmybee9209]

I have built a commander deck only using Assassins creed set. Land base is tough but it’s fun.

[@packer7915]

I built a 4 color deck that each card type was only a single color. I would love to see your take on it. I used Elmar/Wernog as my commander pair and then all creatures were green, all enchantments were black, all instants were white, all sorceries were red, artifacts were colorless, and the mana base was a normal mana base. No multitype cards so no enchantment creatures, artifact lands, etc. I did allow abilities to have different colors like Skyshroud Elf but the mana cost had to be monocolored according to it's type. But I would love to see what you guys come up with if you were to be stuck with those restrictions.

"They grow up so fast" says Olivia. Yeah. Tell me about it... I swear my son was like 6 a few months ago. Eilidh and Olivia may remember him from Amsterdam... Game notes - Warren Warleader should, at the request of the artist, be referred to as "Edward", after the bunny the art is based on. TK reminds me a whole lot of the wrestler Big E for some reason.

Lutri with the new ral? Omg!

[@jimharris5320]

Regarding Lutri: Just ban the Companion mechanic in Commander. The Companion mechanic was set up to allow other formats to have their own pseudo-Commander. EDH/Commander doesn't need Companions. We don't need decks with cards that are 'outside the game' in a faux sideboard.

Whenever you all get some time, is it possible to make a video on how to use cardsphere, please? I've watched their tutorials, but I still feel a bit lost. For example, I don't have anything linked yet with paypal. Do I have to have that linked first before I send any cards? I would assume so because how else would I receive payment? I have emailed cardsphere, but haven't heard back yet. This was 2 days ago.
