Totally agreed here. I've thoroughly loved every episode.

This and Elder Dragon Hijinks are miles ahead of the other shows I've watched. There are a few other good ones, but in the churning sea of Commander content, anything involving Olivia and Eilidh stands out like a beacon.

[@shiftyginger]

I cannot express how much this is just a D&D party playing MTG together. Jacob is the musically spirited Bard, Kyle as the quick witted and sarcastic Rogue, Olivia as the no-nonsense Necromancer (because: obviously), and Brian as the group's "dad" fighter/paladin.

[@mibbzx1493]

I can definitely see this and i never played d&d a day in my life

[@loganshaw4527]

Would the D&D card game they play in thier spare time be magic the gathering?

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Fun fact, the OG instruction of MtG was to put your lands in front. It was part of the idea that the opponent's creatures had to first cross your lands. So in the early years of magic we all played with the lands in front.

[@franciscomuro8427]

Love the special effects that they put in this show to have two versions of Brian at the table. Confused at first but they really love Science Brian and Gamer Brian. Honestly just need a full show with four Brians playing against each other each with their own schtick. Loving this series and can't wait for another episode.

Well, the Professor is still around, if we can convince Olivia to forgive him for the "Deck Construction" fiasco.

@@Goggledguy oho? im a little uninformed here. What happened then?

[@AnonymousProffession]

@@lowkaytong8407 I could be wrong, but I believe it' in reference to Shuffle Up & Play Episode 20 (where Olivia and Brian were guests). The premise was each player was to make a deck for one of the other players to play. The Professor, wanting the deck he gave to the third guest Gavin Verhey to be "good," outsourced his deck construction to someone else.

This pod is incredible. Every episode better than the last. I absolutely love this show!

[@rkbmcb]

36:00 I hate to correct a Pro Tour player, but the spells off Apex Devastator don't resolve in reverse order. Per the ruling from 2020-11-10: "Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second, third, and fourth cascade abilities. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability. The spell you cast for the second will resolve before you exile cards for the third, and so on." So you'd decide whether or not to cast Force of Will, decide not to, and put it to the bottom. Then reveal to Mirari's Wake, decide to cast it, resolve the cast. Then reveal to Solemn Simulacrum, decide to cast it, trigger Chulane, resolve Chulane's trigger (assuming you still put the Temple into play, resolve the temple ETB), resolve the spell, trigger the ETB on Solemn, and then resolve the ETB on Solemn. Then reveal to Elesh Norn, decide to cast it, trigger Chulane, resolve Chulane's trigger, resolve the spell. Then resolve state-based actions that would remove creatures your opponents' control with toughness lower than 3. Then resolve Apex Devastator.

[@Big-LoFe]

The intro looks like something I would love to be apart of on Friday nights 🎉🎉🎉 I wanna hear Kyle yell "I wasnt at pro tour Tokyo" 😆

[@laurelkeeper]

Commander at Home is without the possibility of debate the best EDH gameplay content on the platform. Thank you all so much for bringing this to us.

[@connortillman7129]

Loved this episode! For next time, apex devastator does not resolve like it was showed. The first cascade trigger must resolve first before cascading into the second one. So Force would be decided and bottomed first, then cascade into wake, that gets cast, etc etc until Norn is the last to be cast off of the 4th cascade.

[@Breifcaseguy1]

And the manifest should have hit the graveyard immediately due to Elesh Norn.

[@nuke21216]

Yes I believe it was done incorrectly last episode as well

[@lethallena5556]

Amazing content! I love how y'all keep the banter in without drowning out the actual game play :)

[@benlucas3151]

The four cascades are seperate triggers, so when you hit a card on one, you cast that spell and the resolve it, before resolve any of the other cascade triggers. It usually doesn't matter, but when you cast creatures you trigger Chulane which affects what's on top of your library, and the order of the cascaded spell can matter (like the primordial vs elesh norn).

[@jaimee4999]

Definitely one of the most natural feeling edh channel, the banter and the dialogue doesn't feel super forced like a lot of other channels. Really enjoyed all of the vids so far!

Easily one of my favorite commander channels right now. Every vid is such a great watch.

[@kingofbudokai]

Jacob's comment about lands up front made me think of people who tap their land to the left. It's just not natural. Edit: As a small point of note, Brian cannot resolve his effects at 29:22 in that order. Not sure it matters in the long run, but technically speaking, Chulane is on cast, not ETB, so it resolves first in all cases, before the wood elves actually hit the field and place their own trigger on the stack. It may have mattered if Oracle was still in play, because he changed the top card of his deck before drawing, but when you don't have a way of knowing what that card is beforehand, changing it effectively doesn't do anything, so I don't think the outcome was affected in any statistically measurable way. Just wanted to point it out because trigger orders tend to matter in general, and it's better to be in the habit of playing them correctly. Cascade triggers can be resolved before or after Chulane, player's choice, because they both trigger off the casting of the spell, but ETB effects always happen afterwards. I'm fairly certain Brian knows this already and it was just a misstep in the moment, but I thought it worth clarifying. On a similar note, it should be noted that all 4 cascades from apex predator resolve independently (the card even says as much, stating "multiple instances of cascade each trigger separately." Meaning that you find and cast the first spell, THEN draw from Chulane and play a land, before looking for the next cascade trigger. Finding all four spells before resolving any of the Chulane triggers is also technically incorrect play. It's casual format, so it's fine I'm sure (especially considering Kibler was still not in a commanding spot afterward), but just for anybody wondering about the technicalities of mtg (of which there are many, lol), that is the correct way to do things.

[@joedoe7572]

Really? I naturally tap my things to the left. It just feels more natural to me somehow. I don't specifically do it and it wouldn't bother me to do it to the right, it's just the way my hands do it. I think a couple of my friends do that way too, but I'm not sure

[@kingofbudokai]

@@joedoe7572 I was intentionally exaggerating, but yes, tapping to the left is highly unusual, so it stands out when people do it. The "tap" symbol has an arrow that specifically shows a clockwise rotation, and I assume that is why tapping to the right became the norm.

[@JGreen42]

This episode was so satisfying to watch. Something about this specific table makes me very happy.

First hearing about your channel on "Tolarian Community College" and making the decision to check the channel out.

Sweet game. I'm 41 so, yeah the dap thing, over my head as well. I am also quick to break into song, though I haven't had Jacob's energy since I was young. Love the channel, Brian and Olivia!

[@Varler_]

Jacob is back!!! And you got Brian Kibler from Because Science! He's got such great hair. It was such a fun episode! As always, the table chemistry is great and it's fun laughing along with everyone at the jokes and quips. A couple mistakes with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite (Mistakes that didn't really matter but I'm contractually obligated to point out because I'm a nerd.) Olivia's manifest would have died due to state-based actions and after Brian died to commander damage during the first strike step, Jacob's dragons would have gotten bigger again, dealing more damage to Kyle and making more treasures.

[@lanji21]

One Kibler chose Philosophy the other Kibler chose science! But always a hoot to see Kyle Hill play he brings such creative decks with the right scale of power level to a pod and he does some insane value engines. Jacob showing off why Dragons being double-troubled is fantastic and why they can do such insane damage if not enough checks are brought against them. Kibler's Chulain deck I can see where it gets out of hand he was quickly racking up in ramp and value and it's a shame he didn't hit flyers to stop the dragon train from killing him. Olivia with the Reconnaissance tech man if she went off it probably would have been a one turn kill out of nowhere from her. And of course we got more good doggo energy! Seriously I love the table chatter that happens in this show, it really does feel like a casual game of magic which Commander is all about for me. Please continue releasing more episodes!

[@jaceee4154]

What sets this series apart from other commander videos is how funny is when guests make fun of kibler's shuffling

[@mrmannimaker8509]

Please note: each apex devastator cascade resolves completely first before you see the next card. It's the second time it's misplayed 😅

[@goberthicks]

@@Neobreaker yep! sure should have, none of us caught it lmao

[@Neobreaker]

It happens lol, was entertaining anyways.

[@JohnRoux]

Also Kyle should have actually taken more damage in the second last swing. Since Bryan died after the first one, the Elesh Norn would have fallen away and the second hit would have been +4 damage (2 power *2 creatures) But it made zero difference in the end and was a great vibe. Mistakes are part of the game 🚀

[@radhaz01]

It's a fair callout though. I play a lot of Maelstrom and it pains me every time someone tries to convince me its in reverse order for whatever reason. If we don't mention it, nobody will learn!

[@syanopgh]

+1 to Kyle and Go Shintai, I vastly prefer deck builds like that over just grabbing the most powerful commander. An added deck building constraint for me was to have all cards other than non-basic lands have the word "Of" in the name. It works surprisingly well, and all the shrines have of in the name so it's only restricting the rest of the deck.

[@Smutter86]

I'm actually in the process of building a Go-Shintai shrines and curses deck. My constraint is that everything needs to be an enchantment outside of lands. I'm debating on sticking Thassa in there to blink removal enchantments too :D

[@w0197]

I know this comment might just get lost but this channel showed me how much fun commander can be. I'm new to magic and a hundred unique cards and 4 people was WAY too overwhelming lol but seeing all the fun themes you can build a deck around and all the politics with 4 people made it seem more approachable. Just made my first constructed deck and looking forward to playing it soon!
