The quality of production is on point here. Nice work guys PLEASE keep it up

[@kaibatoctoy6032]

Big love for xyris. My all time favourite commander 😍

[@johnwelsch7283]

Loved the gameplay, was great going over everything. But man "Peter here" every time started becoming a meme while listening

[@michaelmarinas8006]

Great work on the video. Kind of wish it would be a the full view of everyone vs back and forth of zoomed in on one person then zoomed out on all 4. I also think less description midgame and save it for the end or insights on cards or game play for the end. Other then that. Great work. Definitely got a new follower as I’ve watched all my fill of many other content creators.

[@metricarea7546]

Xyris go!!! Cannot wait for my deck to arrive

[@josefinacabrera589]

Very entertaining, i love all the content you guys create!

[@zayneyael1258]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@liankyson9161]

@Zayne Yael instablaster =)

[@zayneyael1258]

@Lian Kyson thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@zayneyael1258]

@Lian Kyson It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@liankyson9161]

@Zayne Yael You are welcome xD

Slight misplay in the ordering of the Rec Sage counter. Griffin has to counter the spell BEFORE the Sage hits the battlefield without having its target declared yet (though he can probably have a good guess - but hey who knows, Landon could be more worried about the Door). Also, the Door isn't triggered by Humans ETB (i.e. non-casted) e.g. Castle and Doomsayer activations at 39:10.

Great episode.

[@dhiyakzatron]

You guys just gained a new subscriber! 100% will promote u guys to my pods

[@jnasty1441]

Love the commentary

[@Rathie645]

At the end there at 39:14, the castle cannot the door, you have to cast humans to trigger it not put them into the battle field.

[@howardgreen9718]

Great game best online commander gameplay

[@Narabedla4]

Amazing gameplay, came for xyris, but damn tayam looks suprisingly juicy

[@garyg9176]

This sounds like a great idea with the point system.. Must be a pain to keep up with the points during the games without knocking you off your plays

[@danedeslauriers1931]

Rip in peace? So rest in peace in peace? Otherwise, enjoyable content. Thanks!

[@olityr]

That's been bugging me in all their videos. Still good content though.

[@wbw911]

wow all the commanders I would like to play insta sub

[@carlosespada6350]

Great work. Just wanted to complain with the narration midgame where it kept saying that snakes were created whenever card were draw after the commander left the battlefield. Other than that, good job.

[@CommandValley]

Hey Carlos! Thank you for the feedback! Our apologies for the confusion, but those snakes were being made by Griffin’s Altered Ego which had copied Xyris and was continuing to make snakes even when the proper Xyris wasn’t there. Hope that clears things up!

[@carlosespada6350]

Yes. Thank you.

[@crovax1375]

Do you guys think that with the Companion rules change that Lutri still needs to be banned? I feel that a card should only be banned if it can't be self-policed by the community. Even though Lutri is a "free" 101th card in eligible decks I think that 6 mana, half at sorcery speed, is so much for a bad Dualcaster Mage that Lutri can't possibly be an issue. As a thought experiment consider this. What if Wizards printed a legendary Raging Goblin (Chip, In For One) with the same companion restrictions as Lutri. Would Chip, In For One need to be banned in Commander or is 4 mana for a 1/1 hasty boi too much? Also great game!

[@CommandValley]

Hey ! Griffin here and I’m going to tackle this one. So in my opinion they should unban Lutri as a commander and a card in the 99, but ban Companion as a mechanic in commander and here’s why- it’s not about the objective power of the card because most of the companions and Lutri are either restrictive or hard to use. I feel that Lutri and companions should be banned because of the precedent it sets for the format as a whole. Commander is 100 card singleton with no more or less and no sideboards, that’s how it’s always been and the worry I have is once you push the lines to add a companion to commander, how far do you go? What if they print a mechanic that allows you to have spells outside your commander identity and because it’s a mechanic it’s legal? What if they printed a mechanic that lets you have any card in the command zone? I’m not saying they will do it, I just don’t like that companions pushes the line if that makes sense

[@crovax1375]

@@CommandValley I agree that the Companion mechanic shouldn't function in Commander, because Wish effects don't work so their is already a precedent that stops getting cards from outside the game

[@thomaskillam2514]

LOVE THIS!!!

[@danman1300]

so you guys made a mistake with the door of destinies as his tokens dont make it bigger as he didnt cast them

[@CommandValley]

Thanks for the watch and the feedback! Not seeing this mistake but you are right that it would only be from casting the humans which it looks like Kaleb stuck to. Otherwise, it would have had a lot more counters on it by the end of the game.

[@danman1300]

Still loved the gameplay

[@JABTX81]

The point loss for casting a commander agian is brutal, that punishes aggro decks.

[@sallen9966]

I enjoyed the production, but the commentary was just too much. I starting getting bored at the 10 minute marker. I might not be speaking for all of your audience but I watch a lot of EDH KZbin videos. I subscribed cause I think you have potential to be great!

[@CommandValley]

Thanks for the feedback! We’re working on more ways to make our narration great, stay tuned!

[@YellowEyedPuggle]

So much tempo loss with all these card introductions. Good thing I can fast forward.

[@brauliobravo8457]

it would be nice if someone show his face while he is explain the rules and those things it's like a Power point presentation but cheers, suscribe

[@DontStopTheHustle]

I wish I could have just watched the game without being interrupted with card explanations ever 2 minutes. I can read the cards on screen, talk about this stuff at the end of the video.

[@CommandValley]

Hey! We’re sorry you felt that there were too many interruptions, our gameplay video series makes a focus on new to intermediate players who may not know the cards as well as a seasoned player might, if you do not enjoy it we do have non duel of the peaks gameplays on our channel that might suit your preference! Thanks for watching!

[@timcollins4213]

I want to like your videos but can you please stop saying ‘and with nothing else he passes the turn’ over and over again
