Excellent choice of commander. Henzie is my new favorite

[@brendonford3838]

As someone with three henzie decks you did a great job showcasing the deck, especially given the circumstances in the beginning 😅

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Kibler was so good at 1v1 magic that he needed to move formats so he could find somewhat of a challenge with 3v1 magic. Absolutely ridiculous lol

[@AZombieWizard]

I want to see him play Archenemy

[@WondeR871]

It feels like that is, what he is doing each game😉

[@ScottofOakland]

@@AZombieWizard He'd destroy at Archenemy. Commander is a balanced format and he still wins more often than not/ Archenemy would give him an insane advantage.

[@EDHijinks]

NGL, I got to THAT crazy turn in the edit and couldn't understand how there was still so much time left in the game. This one was nutty! 😂

[@GermanGaryOak]

I have never misplayed ever

[@ConstantlyLegendary]

None of us have EVER misplayed in commander (I say constantly forgetting my main commanders abilities) or missed anything on the board (again, always doing it)

[@georgeholloman9644]

I really appreciate seeing Jimmy play on this channel, it seems like he is more relaxed and fun. Really great episode

[@commanderathome]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Leovold]

There is a reason for that, they are actually playing EDH the way the average player is, where Game Knights always seems so much more stiff, serious and sometimes it feels even scripted, even if it's not, they don't seem like friends playing EDH that's for sure.

[@joedoe7572]

And he managed to get enough lands!

[@cristianvaldez-ramirez3618]

Jimmys "i cant believe you didnt say mistress... its such a small word" made me lol at work. Fucking comedy gold. Love this channel so much.

Jimmy's "Should've brought a stronger deck" song has gone platinum. I sing it every other week, alternating with "Sorry I combo'd you so quick".

[@impp18]

Holy shit, Kibler and Olivia actually made a deal

[@jacobd1984]

It's mandatory to say "You are being liberated, do not resist" the first time you hit some with Urza's Battlethopter.

[@spliffi869]

That Phyrexia shirt of Brian is really fun. Took me a while to realize the grey stripes are actually phyrexian inscriptions. What a hilarious detail!

[@sheyjake]

Oh my god I thought it said Philadelphia, I legit thought it was a sports jersey. Im gonna go crawl into a hole real quick.

[@Tj-tw6mn]

Love how George talked Olivia out of stealing his turn and to go for Brian knowing he was going to living death and Olivia wouldn't be able to suicide Brian.

[@grahamcurtin293]

Came here to say the same. Amazing use of politics. When someone tries that hard not to be picked that’s all the info I need to pick them even if wrong choice.

[@jamesnelson9433]

I mean honestly that was the worst Emrakul turn steal ever though. Brian basically time walked there by making every play on the turn that was "stolen" ans then for his actual turn. I've never had an Emrakul turn go that way. Must be nice. Olivia didn't even hurt his board at all...

[@emulator4258]

Georg and Kibbler were both politicking hard the whole game (the Emrakul turn was also politicking). Jimmy did a little, but Georg started doing it like turn 2. It's subtle, but if you pay attention, you can see it.

[@Hemlocker]

I lost it when Jimmy started singing Mad World 😂

Odds of Olivia going unnoticed by the rest of the table until she assembles a critical mass of artifact nonsense and steamrolls the table 3:1. Odds of it being awesome 1:1.

[@goberthicks]

Brian noticed :(

[@Alejandrodemontana]

Olivia is a master of stealth at her kitchen table.

[@PresidentClambake]

Olivia's skill never gets the respect it deserves until it's too late.

[@alechammond2125]

This was the most endearing episode of commander at home yet: Olivia and Kibler made a deal successfully, and they were being all adorable and such with the head resting on the shoulder in between turns. Y'all are too cute, its gross lol.

[@flobenzo4897]

That’s just Olivia looking at Brian’s hand

[@veganpork7601]

seems a little awkward for the other two at the table though. ig its subjective but usually a couple being affectionate in front of a group of friends is a little weird

[@alechammond2125]

If you're uncomfortable with someone putting their head on someone's arm, I don't know what to tell ya chief lmao. That's cringe within itself.

[@veganpork7601]

@@alechammond2125 how tf are u gonna call me cringe when you're saying shit like "that's cringe within itself"? and its not the action itself that's weird, its just doing it in front of a group of friends is just extra. its cringe for lack of a better word

I love the little Details like searching and shuffling the library in the enemy turn or jimmy remembering to discard a bit later. Not like a peefeclty played out game for the camera but just like we All would play it at home =) Thanks for not cutting these things out!

[@hulud]

I'm glad Georg said it at the end, because we were all thinking it lol

[@TheCoyote808]

I legit thought Brian was wearing a Baseball shirt. Then he moved his arms and I was like, who are the Phyrexians? Then brain switched from sportsball to Magic mode and was like, THE PHYREXIANS YOU DOPE!

[@emergencynine9281]

"I will take game actions that will benefit my chances of winning" will be printed onto a new set of sleeves. Truer words cannot be said

[@king_eternal]

In every episode, Kibler is like the nicest guy. He's always laughing and has great energy, helps others play optimally, never misrepresents his board, and even points out things he could potentially do for players not familiar with his cards.

[@Svydnar]

Olivia is killing me by not putting Basilisk Collar on Endbringer and just steadily attempting to ping out Brian's board. I'm sure there's something I'm missing, but would be such a fun play.

[@kaspersauros4114]

Jimmy is very invested in hearing Brian call Olivia mistress 🤔🤔🤔

great episode, tough to choose a favorite moment but Olivia absolutely *dying* when Jimmy busted out the "yes, mistress" comment is an all-timer for sure

[@edwarddaignault5243]

I have him at home but the pre con didn't really jive for me. How do you keep enough blockers out? Any advice or even a decklist you have maybe? I know he's good just not sure how to build it

[@VagrantKing]

@@edwarddaignault5243 posted the link to my decklist above but idk if it will stick, KZbin deleted it the first time I posted it. *Edit* posted it below full text since links don’t work 🤷‍♂️. My advice is to not worry too much about blockers, try to seem non-threatening early on and just ramp and maybe get Henzie killed at least once. Once you have -2 or -3 cost to your creatures you can start blitzing them wholesale for value. Stalking Vengeance is usually how I kill players if not via combat.

What gets me is honestly Brian's deck building is so far from what the template that everyone says it should be he barely ever has more than like 3 pieces of interaction in his deck lists he just plays so much gas and synergy.
