Wow, so what I saw there was... Cats: Strong early game, but like many aggro decks it needs to take people out fast to get there...which just isn't easy to do in Commander. I'm much more interested in going wide and using equipment in that deck, I prefer the other two commanders. Can't wait to add Amoncats to it too. Dragons: Exactly what I expected, crazy splashy plays made possible by seriously sweet ramp - seemed like Josh had the perfect opening hand. Shame about all the missed gold. The Utvara Hellkite play was awesome, I am SO happy that card is in the deck. Wizards: I knew it was a slower deck, but I don't think we really got to see any of its potential here, because everyone else was so aggro so fast with those curses... the others having great ramp into their aggro really didn't help. Vampires: Surprisingly effective, Sanguine Bond is such a powerful include, and sweet tech with Blind Obedience, insane with that kicker spell. Never seen Swords to Plowshares used as a finisher before :P
@ExtraordinaryJam7 жыл бұрын
what do you think is the strongest dragon or vampire?
@CodenameJD7 жыл бұрын
I feel like dragons will be consistently stronger, but that does rely on getting a decent opening, with enough ramp and colour fixing. It's probably one of the better decks at catching up if it does fall behind, too. Vampires does have the potential to be explosive though, if it casts like 3 vampires in a turn, say... But I could imagine it being quite a bit harder for that deck to catch up if it falls behind.

Perhaps, but I think those decks were designed to be stronger. They were the best of what those colour combos could offer. These are designed to be great tribal decks, and for the most part they are, but unless you're playing something like goblins or elves, tribal is just not as competitive a deck. These are designed to be more casual. And after last year's price spikes, that's probably a good thing.

Its great as a deterrent because if they ignore it they just end up feeding into you.

I really enjoyed watching this video. As this is the first video I've watched all the way through, I'm left wondering how they do the player commentary. Do they do it as the game goes, off to the side? They kind of talk about their own plans, so it would be a little odd just doing it right at the table (plus, I don't see cameras everywhere)... Or are they really good actors, and either note the commentary during the game that they want to say for editing later, or someone writes it for them, or do they just remember and say it later? Really good stuff, game seemed really realistic and casual and reminded me of the reason why I got into Commander in the first place. Good job, guys. I dunno if you ever respond to comments, but I'm actually really curious how you coordinate the commentary in a way that makes it seem like it's happening in the moment.
@joshleekwai88957 жыл бұрын
We play the game as normal but we pause at various points for everyone to take notes. Plus, we have a judge on site who is keeping track of every card and move made in the game. Then - after the game is over - we interview each player going slowly through each play of the game (and consulting our notes, etc) and getting their perspective on it. This is also a time when we begin to notice patterns or common themes and we do a small amount of staging or scripting. For example, we came up with the idea of Jimmy doing parodies of famous political speeches during the interview because we knew that the political argument was an interesting moment we were likely to highlight.
@snakydragon93707 жыл бұрын
Cool! Have we ever seen this judge in a video before, i.e. "Hey, I'm Mark, and you never see me but my job is really important!" I really enjoy how you combine Magic playing and, for lack of a better word, theatre, to make a really interesting video. I don't normally watch gameplay videos, but the work you put into these episodes is evident, and I'm sure I'll be spending more time watching future videos of yours. With the knowledge of how you do the commentary, I'm left surprised at the amount of enthusiasm you guys give a play that happened half an hour ago. As an actor, I can appreciate just how difficult it is to recreate authentic emotion to something that you've already done, let alone having played thousands of previous commander games with the same people. You guys clearly enjoy the game, and you know what you're doing. Have a nice day! Throughly impressed. Edit: I also appreciate the editing that goes into the extra stuff, like the popups of the cards and tokens, making the power and toughness bigger when you pump a creature, the bounty counters making the creature "Wanted"... Clearly you have an editor that enjoys their work, if not more than that.

@serikwhite56057 жыл бұрын
Vampires seems like a well rounded deck, and due to Edgar's eminence ability can rebuild quickly. Cats has staying power with all the equipments, though we didn't really see any that game. Dragons is kinda clunky due to a weak mana-base, but if you can stabilize I would think it would be easy to run away with the game. Wizards is the weakest deck out of the box, but with some modifications it would probably be very easy to win out of nowhere. If I had to get 3 friends and play against them, straight out of the box, I would go for the vampire deck. I'm slightly biased, as vampires are my favorite tribe along with sphinx, but I feel that the go-wide strategy of the vampire deck, coupled with the quick rebuilding time can take down games. Edgar's lord ability certainly doesn't hurt either, and if you add things like Bloodline Keeper/Lord of Lineage, you can win, albeit after a bit of a build up. I found that with a few additions, the vampire deck can knock someone out by turn fiour, if it gets lucky. To do this, you must have one mountain, one plains, two swamp, a one-drop vampire, a three-drop vampire, Bloodline Keeper, and a Sol Ring. For math reasons, the one-drop used in this example shall be a Falkenrath Gorger, and the three-drop Vampire Nighthawk Turn 1: Mountain, Sol Ring Turn 2: Swamp, three-drop vampire and one-drop vampire, make two friends off of eminence Turn 3: Swamp, Bloodline Keeper, make a friend, swing with the one drop, the three drop and two friends. 5 damage. Turn 4. Plains, Cast Edgar from the command zone, use the one black to flip the Bloodline Keeper into Lord of Lineage. Move to combat. Send everything at one player. You have 3 4/4s, due to the +2/+2 from the Lord, and Edgar's +1/+1 counters. Then Lord of Lineage becomes a 6/6, and Edgar becomes a 7/7. The one-drop (Falkenrath Gorger) becomes a 5/4, and the three-drop (Kheru) becomes a 5/6. That comes out to a total of 4+4+4+6+7+5+4= 35 total damage.

My very first game of magic was actually with these exact decks. I had no idea what was happening, but they explained the mechanics as we went. Favorite moment was when I asked “hey, what’s a fate token?” and everyone else freaked out. That was a good boardwipe

Does anyone have an idea who the guy is on the new curse cards because he is very unfortunate? He is on every curse card. Would Mel have any insight on this?

I love these gameplays! And Mel makes for an awesome villain! Loved her in your Nicol Bolas gameplay, and I loved her behind the Edgar Markov deck. Please invite her to more of these. XD

Why did you not activate the monstrous ability Jimmy? It would have lasted through everything.

Not Butcher of Malakir. Also a Monstrous Fleecemane Lion does not block a 10/10 flying dragon - I needed to develop my board. - jimmy

but at least wait to play the white zenit right..? It's an instant. That way you could monstrosity in case of a board wipe or surprise block with your cats or whatever.. Did I miss something? Anyways, great games and content nonetheless

I am just getting to watch Command Zone Game Knights. These videos are all great. I notice the rules sometimes are not caught, and that happens in games like this that require a lot of focus. I love that Game Knights will post about things missed in the comments to clarify. I see that the 2nd time Mel cast Edgar (and used Opal palace this time), it was only brought in with 1 counter, she still won, but it should have been 2 counters as this was the second time that Edgar was cast. Keep up the great show! It is great content to binge during this stay at home order!

She gained two from her first land and 1 from her second, putting her at 43. Losing 6 puts her at 37.

Shouldn't JLK get Gold when Jimmy attacked Mage guy? EDIT: Just read the text. Yes, the Curser gets the bonus when other people attack. So JLK would get Gold each time Jimmy/Mel attacked, and Mel would've got Zombies likewise.

The Commander decks out of all these that I want most are definitely Vampires and Dragons. Most the dragon deck, though I admit being a five-color deck DOES mean that the mana distribution throughout the deck MIGHT be hard to manage in an orderly manner.
