Hopefully Justin has an infinite combo in his deck so he can go a Ghen and a Ghen and a Ghen...(Please don't kick me)

[@cloaking111]

I gave you a like since I had not seen anyone make that pun before!

[@Afertulo]

Yep first time seeing that pun as well made me chuckle, here have a thumbs up good sir

[@christianmiller4422]

Please take my like while I go laugh.

[@AngryCrayon1775]

With your permission I would like to name my deck this when its finished 😂

[@whitevelvet5714]

@@AngryCrayon1775 Please do!

[@MacFlurry13]

John never took the 2 damage from Ghen at the beginning

[@kingfuzzy2]

Thank goodness that is impressive

[@bloodfrdeath1]

Stephen played 2 lands during his turn at the 1 hour 22 minute mark. Played Castle Garenbrig then Sabertooth then E Wit then Avenger then Forest.

[@GoldenAgeFalseEcho]

twas almost a game altering misplay

[@anthonyjs8048]

I don't understand how they can make these types of mistakes so often haha. How does no one involved in making these videos ever notice?

[@kingfuzzy2]

@@anthonyjs8048 they noticed when they were live

[@frederikvollmer3731]

Haphazard bombardment also hit lands ☝️ would have been nice with some land destruction

[@tinosdragatsis]

Malcolm heard his name and came up when Jeremy talked about his commanders. So cute.

[@dantebeleren]

I'm only about 10 mins in, but I laughed at how Stephen's first aggressive action of the game was screwing over Justin's CMDR... just as Justin predicted

[@kingfuzzy2]

It gets way better thankfully (not for Justin's commander)

[@andynaddeo6757]

Please tell me Suarez is drinkin Scotch neat. #teamjohnniesuarezgoldlabel

[@TheRedGauntlet]

Didn't Consecrated Sphynx also had cascade?

[@Waldo_I_Am]

Yeah

[@maximusfatticus]

Big miss

[@wildernaut595]

Yep rip value

[@Chalky2023]

Hapazard bombardment can also target lands... If only he targeted lands aswell. This was typed at the 25:30 mark so who knows if he does it again.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Still don't like the card:(

[@kingfuzzy2]

It's a beautiful card thanks for explanation

[@Foetoid2k6]

Shouldn’t Stephens Consecrated Sphinx trigger a cascade cause it’s 6 or more?

[@kingfuzzy2]

That is correct

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

Ok, Jeremy’s deck sounds rad. Imagine a wizard turning all his thralls into massive Krakens and sending them into battle.

[@nemoforever]

You mean Jon's deck?

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

@@nemoforever That is exactly what I meant lol

[@tinosdragatsis]

Honestly Imoti is real power especially if you can hit an 8 drop to 7 drop to 6 drop and more.

[@amandavelazquez3797]

Thank you so much for bringing back these pregame conversations!

[@AMerexican787]

Any chance the card previews could be swapped with the commander vs logo on the right side? The star city star covering the p/t box is annoying.

[@SCGCommander]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll let our video team know!

[@deerclops8184]

upload the new video already!

[@peewee130946]

If a spell has cascade and you cascade into it you cast it so you would trigger cascade again. So when Stephen cascaded into Sphinx it should have cascaded again

[@wildernaut595]

Ye oof value

[@peewee130946]

@@wildernaut595 yeah goes crazy when you have the cascade sliver out and now every sliver in your deck can come out lol

[@soratonin6972]

Jeremy couldn't have swung in with the liege a second time. No haste.

[@sandmanlives3]

A Justin Parnell pose for his Commander? Auto like!

[@drgood33]

That's why I watch those videos. To listen to grown men argue about the shape of a cookie.

[@Foetoid2k6]

Why isnt the next episode on KZbin?

[@Lashkor]

Murkfiend Liege wouldn't have been able to attack again off or Port Razer. Zara doesn't give it haste, and neither does Port Razer, as Zara just puts it into play tapped and attacking.

[@esimplx]

This.

[@shogun452]

The intro music is incredibly distracting.

[@TedMattos]

Happy Thanksgiving, boys! Thanks for your games and enjoyable content! #TeamGresuarell

[@Ariaoff.Limits]

[@bardtucker7854]

Stephen missed some triggers from cascading with woodfall primus. Cause he got a consecrated Sphinx which is also a 6 drop so he was supposed to cascade again

[@Miztickow]

John messed up the 2nd Zegana because he misrepresented the first one. The first was a 1/1 stolen from Stephen with 6 +1 counters, but he showed it as a _/_ with 7 +1 counters and assumed later that it was a 1/1 with 7 counters. So he got the Sakashima and put 8 counters on it when it should have 7 instead, so he drew 1 too many cards also.

[@monty7159]

Is it bad that my first thought when I saw the new video was "new poses!"?

[@kingfuzzy2]

A very good thing

[@xquizate8777]

1:23:45 Steven plays a land despite playing Castle Garenbrig for turn. or he thought he still had court of bounty but did not.

[@SCGCommander]

True, but it's Stephen... :D

[@xquizate8777]

1:11:50 Steven should get another cascade trigger from sphinx because its a 6 drop.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Technically he declined to cast the 5 or less cmc drop : p

[@blueeyedenvy9715]

Oooh Justin playing ghen! Very excited

[@SeraphimKnight]

I think I'm gonna finish up my brew of the Tormod // Ravos deck I was planning and submit it for parnell to play cause I think it's a smart deck for once.

[@jb87rell]

Team Parnell here to confirm we don't care about Stephens appliances names.

[@spenserhauraney4371]

It took my months, but I'm finally caught up on Commander Vs.

[@jacobtgomes]

I feel like Jeremy has killed more people with cards from Stephen than his own over the web game series. =D

[@kingfuzzy2]

Somehow he manages to steal at least 2-5 cards per episode since they switched to webcam

[@shearerbilly]

Happy Thanksgiving CommanderVs. Crew, I am certainly thankful for all of the content you continue to bring us. Eat more Tacos, @TeamGreen!!!!!!!

[@vincentcoo2244]

Great game! Jon, play again your copie deck next time !!

[@zemratsu]

1:03:00 I was going to make the comment yes, however you still missed the fact you can hit LANDS.

[@lennartvandereijk6126]

Okay, so that's why Imoti couldn't have more stats, got it.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Seems entirely reasonable

[@scottmUTCS]

Thanks again for the content! How about a whole season of using commanders from the Commander Legends?

[@mumbles727]

Around 1:11:00Stephen played wood fall primus, which cascaded into consecrated Sphinx and he stopped. Imoti is really cool because the spells cast off of cascade also have cascade, which means that he should have kept going to find a spell 5 or less after casting C Sphinx

[@tomcadden8054]

Game was vastly improved with the addition of Fanny. More Fanny in future episodes please!

[@urbanhermit928]

Although I love watching these guys interact with each other in the same room, I must say that I find this format much easier to follow. One thing that kind of bothers me: wouldn't it be possible to know the amount of cards each player has in hand? That's kind of important at times. Great work as always though!

[@kingfuzzy2]

Great idea!!!

[@themartywilson]

I dream of the days when you guys are back in the studio. Damn you covid

[@steveandmandyvela1367]

the only time i have ever seen a cyclonic rift on this show jon milled it

[@kingfuzzy2]

They used to play it a lot (Stephen and Jeremy) then I guess it kinda got softbanned

[@kylelittle8816]

Justin is such a crybaby lol.... awww your hurting me to much john lol... prolly just for him to back stab john later.... LOVE MTG!!! Especially COMMANDER!!!!

[@jonlamoreaux1889]

Where is the new vid?

[@TyranitarStudios]

#teamParnell heyyy the poses for the thumbnail are back!! I'm about to see the episode, thank you guys!

[@sweaves]

I wonder if Justin didn't know he could bombard lands or he just choose not to

[@leonk9074]

Maybe they were playing nice but Justin did know he could target lands with Haphazard bombardment right?? Plenty of targets in the beginning

[@swaswa1]

I wish jon was playing sakashima with akroma

[@CodMW298]

How can Justin be so incredibly salty even though the match has just started? It's not very good as an entertainer on KZbin to get salty, brings the feel of the video down.

[@DylieBeans]

Pretty sure the companion counts as one of the 100. I don’t think you get it extra for free to make 101. Am I wrong on this people?

[@thomhitzelberger7876]

I feel like the grudge player in me would have all out attacked Justin when he targeted (not targeted) 4 of my permanents with that enchantment lol.

[@vengray8055]

Good thing Stephen is smart enough to know that enchantment or the choices didnt matter at all.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Actually Breeches and other Ixalan Goblins are blue monkey goblins :P

[@DarthTUK]

You rushed it a little bit at the end there, the interaction between Zara and Port Razer is a bit weird. Zara puts the creatures into play tapped and attacking, but doesn't actually grant them haste, so they wouldn't be able to attack on extra combats from Razer. It didn't matter in the end Jeremy still had leathal on Steven on second attack (first combat was from 24 to 15 getting hit by Zara for 9; second combat was 9 again and 7 from buffed Aesi and even with blocks there was another combat where he could hit him with unblockable Razer for 8)

[@yaokuiakree]

Steven actually started the first combat at 32. The director changed his life total to 24 when Jeremy first attacked before choosing the Murkfiend Liege.

[@yaokuiakree]

It's why you should always track your own life totals. Steven would have still most likely died if Jeremy sequenced his attackers correctly but Jeremy also missed out on an extra combat in which he could have probably killed the other two, as well.

[@Gamerguy1793]

Lets see a Dargo/Kodama deck! #TeamGreen

[@meaches2117]

haphazard can target llands

[@tinosdragatsis]

The number one fan already cracked me up!

[@jonathandenton3895]

murkfiend liege didn't have haste so it couldn't attack again

I haven't been watching ivdeos in a while, but I thought Stephen and Justin were roommates? It seems like they are nowhere near each other (as they could have joked about Justin going to cut Stephens deck)

[@michaelwoodyard7995]

The Rock owns a horse (rescue) farm in Charlottesville, VA. Maybe he could make a guest appearance?

[@starman21789]

Creatures put into play with Zara can't attack during the extra combat phases from Port Razer unless they have haste.

[@karlwebb4799]

i liked all the decks here. Imoti is better than I thought. Its worth noting that the creatures stolen from Zara dont have haste, so shouldn't be able to attack in additional combats.

[@javonjohnson3878]

stephen still my favorite

[@renanvisk12]

Steven's nº1 fan isn't the 6th member, thats actually Malcolm

[@christianmiller4422]

Stephen should have played Averna with Keruga as a companion.

[@ZachtheUnbowed]

captain vargus only triggers for each time a commander has been cast from the command zone

[@Kalateth]

when you play haphazard bombardment... and don't target lands with it

[@LordKingKon]

I’ve watched all of commander since it’s been running. I actively get blowed when there’s a week they don’t drop Wednesday morning. All with love, but I just wanted to hear an opinion on my idea of ‘Secret Lair: Throw it Back’. Using new popular cards, but all old frame/borders. Then foil just the borders too. Got my juices going.

[@SCGCommander]

That's a fun idea! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so maybe they could offer a version for old frames and new frames so that everyone is happy?

@@christianpena7748 More like anyone not playing xBlue value decks can't do anything. EDH without U is a different game, if oyu want a balanced game, either everyone plays blue or no one does.
