"Also known as dog. Doge. Dogo. Do... uh. Doggo. Pupper. Ya know." -Steven Green 2016

[@Humstuck]

I was crying the whole bit lol.

[@LotofNothing]

Is no one going to mention Boborygmos's casting cost of 4RRGG, otherwise known as "ARRGGHH!"

[@Slash-xz3nt]

I never noticed that. You are truly a god among men, sir

[@adamchalifour314]

Slash916 on LMN Fxsssszd

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

Ok that's pretty amazing

[@malakbigs1563]

Jeremy giving the expensive gift when everyone else was under the $25 gift limit. You know what you did Jeremy.

[@SCGCommander]

(Jeremy) I'm a monster.

[@malakbigs1563]

more like a Horror

[@danielnadeau1752]

that is accurate i could not finish this video it was a massacre

[@SCGCommander]

(Jeremy) HAPPY HOLIDAYS! For this week's Commander VS, we decided to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. Our director, Kyle, randomly assigned each of us another player to make a deck for. Who got presents, and who got lumps of coal? Watch to find out!

[@hundredpercentjuice]

This Happy Holidays nonsense has got to stop, it really is political correctness gone to far. Can't you people just celebrate the birth of Erebos, like you're supposed to?

[@Gamerdad2008]

Erebos is lie, the real reason for the season is Phenax.

[@annamata4758]

MutilatedBunny Phenax is the one true God.

[@aaronorbik2375]

If you do Secret Santa again, you should put a price cap on each deck, similar to how most Secret Santas go.

[@simonotaku]

I love Jeremy's sweater

[@BAM_Deadstroke]

The gift Justin got was fantastic. One of my favorite episode by far.

[@leonballard]

I insist on a Nahiri, The Lithomancer SUPER TUNED deck! She never had the chance to be played again after the pre-con deck. Thanks for all the videos.! Happy Holidays to all Commander VS team!!

[@shawnperkins5381]

I love this series and have rewatched all of these videos over again waiting for a next season. like Justin always says see you in the game.

[@tragghyb2673]

This is to the editior, you have literally made my day with this episode

[@giuseppeclarizio9666]

Do you guys remember that Falkenrath Noble's ability triggers when a creature of anyone player dies?

[@admanios]

Jon proves there's no cure for harpies.

[@DCAMM720]

God I'm so happy this is a thing. Although a part of me wishes deep down that one of these special episodes David and Danny will randomly show back up. I'd poo my britches

[@kandjar]

Literally cried laughing when Stephen explained his deck to Justin.

[@santaclauseking]

At 10:52 I just start cracking up when Stephen starts saying doges. Every. Damn. Time. 10/10

[@weaglesham]

"Horriflying!" I was not expecting that to be said and it caught me off guard. I have to say I found that comment very amusing! Thanks guys for another commander treat, I just wish I could get some magic games in once in a while and finally get to try commander at some point.

[@ninjadave3281]

This episode was great guys! Can't wait for season 6!

[@sirbig89]

I just love how happy jon is

[@johnmclane4785]

absolutely LOVED the masques era "standard" (type 2**) conversation at the end. what an enjoyable blast from the past.

[@jakelandaiche6008]

I wanted to see four group hug decks

[@CivicFlame]

BUMP!!

[@rbkskillz]

Falkenrath Noble is whenever any creature dies. Not just friendly creature. Lots of missed triggers on that.

[@c0ym0nty]

Happy Holidays Hosts, Staff, and Crew!

[@Pastlebox]

Heads up: at about 24:34 -- when a commander dies, you don't get to draw from skullclamp because the commander is put into the command zone instead of graveyard.

[@LaserfaceJones]

Hecatomb blew my mind when I saw it the first time. Good on you for giving that joy to someone

[@jacobdachauer4377]

Hahahahahaha....I started laughing when the doge was shown, and I didn't stop until Stephen was done with all of them. And the producer with all the faces on every cards....just like in the other videos....wonderful.

[@taylormatic]

did you all forget that the creatures you bring back with Victimize come into play tapped

[@Spartan_Mello]

There should be an episode where they each make decks for each other, but they are surprised with having to play that deck themselves. It would be hilarious to see Stephen's face when he has to play with one of his joke decks.

[@CDClarke]

Would love to see the group play pauper commander some time.

[@bghty7410]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! can't wait for the next season!

[@jacobdachauer4377]

Hahahahahaha....I started laughing when the doge was shown, and I didn't stop until Stephen was done with all of them. And the producer with all the faces on every cards....just like in the other videos....wonderful....and then the giant picture over Jeremy.......OMG epic.

[@khrayzeegaming2389]

The return of Isamaru Doge of Konda. How fitting I'm touched that you would use him a second time lol

[@muddboy87]

I just caught the "Not gruul then die" props to loading ready run

[@mathiasjensen3458]

Parnell got that puppy for christmas that everyone always wanted, and he's still not pleased. Parnell man, you gotta step it up.

[@PaladinOfHope]

you know... what i like about these kind of videos is that they really take about 40-60 minutes for a 4 player game. my playgroup takes about 3 hours to do that. i have no idea how to speed the games up without being a kingmaker deck or just outright playing a grouphug deck with no wincon just to get people to draw more cards, get more mana and do more damage. Edit: I forgot to mention the First Blood... My god, you guy sure know how to crack me up.

[@ThePartyBoss24]

Looks like Christmas came early!! Great vid!

[@scottfrey7212]

Merry Christmas guys, thanks for these vids... Great fix when I cannot pod for real.

[@saiconjr]

Seasons greetings and can't wait for the next season!

[@douglashts]

Justin and Jeremy = Got a visit from Saint Nicholas. Jonathan and Stephen = Got a visit from Krampus.

[@saltedmangos1452]

Falkenrath noble is whenever another creature dies, not another creature you control dies... It triggers from opponents creatures as well.

[@themuffindragon]

Daww that sign off from John felt weirdly sincere

[@djcree420]

Merry Chrismahannakwanzika. Thanks for the videos, spied some new treats for my Meren deck. See you in 2017. Cheers

[@mikemares4541]

Made it through the intro and I already love this episode

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

doge memes and Justin's misery is amazing.

[@SuperRogueTrader]

Sending Savra to the command zone is a replacement effect, it never hits the graveyard, so there's no card draw from the skullclamp.

[@Jonathan-vp9td]

Happy holidays what you guys do have given myself and idea to actually tape some of my groups commander duals

[@TheDarkliesra222]

hm, you know what would be fun? when you guys do the wheel spin to pic commanders put all the partner cards on and spin twice, allowing a commander from 2 to 4 colors.

[@ClassicMagicMan]

SSG, keep the commander versus going. Thank you.

[@obeycelestia]

Commander Vs: Kiss Saves Santa Christmas Special

[@cjonm]

I figured someone would have built a group hug deck and called it "The Gift that keeps on giving" or "Goodwill to all"

[@CephScience]

@37:50 justin changed what he used to play anguished unmaking by tapping a mountain, a Reliquary Tower, and command tower. It didnt change the game, but I definitely noticed it and was curious to see if he more plays based on what he left open.

[@kobyhaigerty3157]

Love these videos so much. Keep makin 'em!

[@daltonshoebridge3]

I want to see Parnell play an Athreos, God of Passage deck built around using Shadowborn Apostles.

[@shirkit5798]

C'mon Jeremy, that deck was SO OP for this game.

[@DrDeltaboss]

Merry Christmas! 38:01. Justin taps the wrong colors for anguished unmaking.

[@DrDeltaboss]

didn't make a difference but still worth pointing out :)

[@littlesaintstephen]

I really think Parnell should play a shirei Shizo's caretaker deck. I have never seen one in action and I'd love to see someone who knew what they were doing play it

[@_Niffum]

Victimize returns tapped messed that up twice.

[@UIairii]

Happy holidays guys!

[@vipper57779]

i think jeremy missed a bunch of triggers on his falkenreath noble. its when any creature dies not just his

[@MarvelMan7878]

Johnny Trignano this should have made Jeremy won WAY before. All john's creatures and all his creatures should've just killed John a long time earlier

[@SCGCommander]

(Jeremy) Yeah, I think I misread the two drain and gain creatures I had as "Whenever a creature you controls" and "Whenever a creature" rather than "Whenever a creature OR CARDNAME" and "Whenever a creature". Would have been a different game.

[@Vanguard187]

I think noble is a very common commander card tho. Atleast i see it a lot.

[@JonaxII]

The Cutthroat actually only counts his own folk, but for the others...

[@wraith.ferron]

"Season of Giving" I was hoping for 4 group hug decks.

[@RAIDgames21]

Merry Christmas!!!

[@saustin7830]

Title of the intro: Jon Suarez hates everybody

[@ylekaikyle]

Borderland anger, priceless. Edit: @16:25 lol

[@Svydnar]

I really want to see this Liliana doge line from the magic story you mentioned. Lol.

[@JeremyStorly]

I'd like to see you guys play partner commanders. You played partner commanders before it was cool, so let's bring it back for old-time's sake.

[@karoluspatricius6271]

XD "Not Gruul, then die" reference

[@16burns]

Hey guys. I'm a big fan from Brazil, always watching you and having a heck of a fun. Recently I found a pretty good card, that I'm probably gonna buy, so a can make a deck. It's name: Tariel, Reckoner of Souls. I would love to see you guys playing with it. I don't know if you already have. And, if it's not asking much, I'd rather see Jaremy or Justin. They are really good deck builders. =) Great video. Always fun.

[@ItsWoeken]

37:44 Parnell kinda cheated. Cast Anguished with Plain, Command Tower, Mountain but then changed the Plain for reliquary tower. That would mean he was missing white to cast his anguished

[@ImJustHereToWatch14]

Regardless of what happened in the game, Jon won beforehand. The Borderland Anger, you rapscallion; plus getting to play his favourite card.

[@StetsonOwen]

Stephen Green ruined the spirit of Christmas! Damn Doges!

[@Lucarioguild7]

this is the first time I've played all the commanders in the video

[@TheMrBigShot96]

Immediately went and bought the Endrek Sahr deck after watching this.

[@killabeetle]

Props to editor for all the doges

[@aaronorbik2375]

Not sure if it was said, but Victimize puts those creatures into play tapped.

[@devonsampson225]

Holy Guaca-Noell-y, that's a sweater!

[@Saltism1]

Great intro and episode, ive never laughed so much at one of your videos!

[@VictorJRod]

Thx for this awesome year!

[@Oriomire]

Justin got dogs for Christmas super jealous!

[@TaliesonTegwas]

If stephen hadn't killed that Falkenrath Noble for no discernible reason...

[@mikebaugus1408]

I missed you guys!

[@vinceinman9666]

Please do not end the series.

[@evanwolfe1337]

Jon didn't lose the life at his play around 36 minutes in

[@albinobrown4915]

Skull clamp DOESN'T trigger if your commander goes to the command zone

[@PokeHunter29]

Rick Harrison it died, so yeah

[@PokeHunter29]

Rick Harrison it goes in

[@Vanguard187]

#rekt

[@justinharrell390]

at 38min Justin knowingly cheats on the way he taps his lands for anguished unmaking, mountain requilary tower, and command tower

[@pirateshaman]

heeeeeeeey this is the best gift mega like, Merry Christmas guys!

[@gabeflores2328]

i would love to see Patron of the Moon! maybe a mono colored game, tribal, or landfall theme maybe?

[@coreysierchio4650]

In the spirit of the season, I'll forgive the misplays. See you next year!

[@Jtblake]

I think Jonathan was trying to tell Steven that he needs anger management

[@Hockeyd14]

Jeremy I love your sweater!

[@varagianafro9755]

happy xmas guys! just quick reminder falkenrath noble checks all the board so whenever creatures died this guy should trigger for each one of those :)

[@dracobeans419]

Justin, casting Crackling Doom in your hand instead of Boros Charm, would of saved you and everyone.

[@mattflynn7504]

Just remember Justin, a doge is not just for Christmas

[@francescogulisano2917]

It is a bit unusual but it's something I've been thinking about a bit, but maybe one of you could play a Marchesa the black rose ally tribal deck, since she cares about etb effects. Maybe you could have an off-strategy commanders match or something like that, but I think it would be pretty interesting

[@sorenh6659]

After John made all of the harpys Justin needed rakdos charm

[@ryanburks937]

Soren Hellyer and then a golgari charm

[@EvilM0nkeyRules]

I spit out what I was drinking when I saw Justin's face on when he found out it was a doge deck

[@RaijinTheThunder]

when can we see an Uril deck stomping faces? I think Steven would rock the hell out of a Naya Enchantress Voltron deck

[@slick_rickgaming1102]

Christmas colors are generally red, white, and green...so why not 4 Naya commander decks?

[@SCGCommander]

(Jeremy) We've talked about all Naya, but I believe they may have done that the first year? We thought the gift giving was pretty good for this year, but we may revisit R/G or Naya for the future.

[@wesleyepperson2821]

suarez shouldn't have drawn off of skullclamp if he put his commander in the command zone

[@1Myojin]

Lowkey wanna build this Saskia deck lol

[@dragowolf1177]

dirty Santa with the doges

[@HibikiKano]

Krampus comes with St.Nicholas on the 6th of December, not for Christmas. (Parkelj in the slavic speaking lands of the former Austrian empire)

[@Pinfeldorf]

They're good dogs, bront.

[@schuschu52]

gr8 episode guys
