[@OodustwindoO]

I would love to see you use the Coliseum of Randomness to randomly pair up the gods from all the blocks. Have it be battle of the gods theme

[@krisheckert9859]

OodustwindoO I just want them to partner the gods in general. God Partners. Random or planned. Chant every video!

[@hnjahnjah]

1:23:19 the best moment in the entire game....the entire video i was watching and Justin,Jon and Jeremy throwing jokes at Stephen for having Disenchant and calling him out on it....and then he does show them that he had it. Absolutely priceless. The disbelief in Jon's voice is amazing "no way...." xD

[@Linkeh24]

That vapor snag though. Awesome out, Jeremy. Well done.

[@lokstir4568]

Linkeh He deserves a point for that play. It 100% saved them all from dying to John's infinite combo.

[@BladedEdge123]

That was a much better game then I expected it to be. Everyone but Stephens deck (which felt kinda under-powered but whatcha gonna do in those colors, if anything, that isn't also un-fun?) got to do its thing in a fun way. A lot of back and forth and general great content.

[@morganfussell2667]

I've found GW tokens to be very fun in pauper edh

[@peytoncornn2727]

BladedEdge123 I mean Jeremy held back quite a bit but you know

[@TheRaggadazar]

Justin: banter Jonathan: banter Stephen: banter Jeremy: I draw a card

[@MrMxyzptlk5]

ive had the absolute shittiest day ive had in a while and then i saw this in my notifications. really looking forward to seeing this!

[@Gamerdad2008]

Not a fan of pauper, but still watch this from start to finish. Thanks for doing this every week, always something to look forward to.

[@lukekrohn6381]

I really enjoyed how relaxed this game was, a lot of fun!

[@kingfuzzy2]

Low-mid power games are my favorite ( :

[@Marionettetc]

Entered! Love you guys, been looking forward to Wednesdays for years now!

[@HarbingerOfDuh]

#TeamSuarez all the way on this episode. He had a really fun outside-the-box deck idea (as opposed to, say, "U/G draw-spells" ... snore), he assembled a quirky infinite-mana combo with a couple of forgotten commons, and he spent the entire game surviving hate from the other three players. His hubris with Capsize brought him down in the end, but that just makes the story even better.

[@Ilvaldi]

I was the guy with the Heliod and Skybind deck at 1:20:30. Thanks for the mention, Jon Suarez! I really enjoyed this pauper matchup and it’s given me some ideas now.

[@xGroulx]

Thank you all for everything you do weekly to provide us with this show.

[@Feyamius]

5:35 Susan said loud and clear Stephen should play Gruul and you ignored her. Shame on you! Shame!

[@calebjohnson5452]

Now I have to binge so that I can go back and like all the videos I was to lazy to literally click a button and also comment. Thanks for "the thing" opportunity and great vid!

[@ethanwebb5334]

I find your lack of Swamps disturbing.

[@sanjurojelze7431]

0:00. Video start. You're welcome, Internet.

[@marcusreid6461]

Loved the episode, should definitely do an episode with the Guilds of Ravnica ahead the release of them.

[@jonaswollenweber2042]

Yo #cmdrvs Can we have a spin on the edge count as both colors? That way 3 color combo would be possible as well.

[@cloaking111]

Jonas Wollenweber that would've been really hard if the challenge is pauper

[@matthewelchert4463]

Love watching you guys. I really enjoy commander. Love some of the ideas you guys have and that its not very like cutthroat and competitive, but more of a casual fun kinda commander. Continue with the awesome work guys!

[@zachmayer2288]

I love the theme and the amount of keeping your word in this game. Possibly the most honest game this channel has ever seen

[@JParnell1]

Thanks, we'll look to make up for that in the future

[@willomalley7619]

While I do appreciate John not just instantly winning with infinite Mana you can't just leave seven creatures on everyone's board the whole game. I was proud of Steven for Alpha striking after that capsized though

[@mtgunveiled874]

LOVE this channel and Star City Games! Thank you SO MUCH for the Commander Anthology 2 set that I won from you. There is not a day that goes by that I am not appreciative for it!

[@DanielRedMoon]

John, I simply CANNOT believe what just happened.. and you allowed Justin to win.. again.

[@yklys10s]

I have a single comment about this episode: "Mono R WOOON". This is a historical moment, it happens every 73 years.

[@MTGDamnation]

Pauper EDH is fun! Some people hate on it but I love it, playing on budget makes you creative

[@jamesdavis5081]

Love the content guys! The best Commander content out there!

[@xaisai1]

not gonna lie i watch alot of edh games on youtube competitive to jank, just the charismatic vibes coming from star city games makes me think they have the best play group on youtube

[@DarthSmirnoff]

"Trying to compete" from Stephen Green is GreenSpeak for "Listen, being greasy is in my soul."

[@theburzon8719]

Dat Snag is the reason i love edh so much

[@weaglesham]

Love the randomness. Pauper for everyone!

[@anthonyshepard1629]

I love these shows and they are very upstanding guys always have time for their fans.

[@ryanskolnick1274]

Love the reference to Silicon Valley at the start guys!

[@halophilicnc6473]

I started a new drinking game where you take a shot every time Jon refers to something as obnoxious. I am now dead.

[@ankhi3585]

If you have infinite mana and capsize just win and tell in which order the players die. Saying you're going to use it defensively just means that you'll be toying with your opponents before the game concludes in the same manner since you'll bounce any threat.

[@Banterbear]

Was there a reason he didn't capsize all of Justin's permanents in response to Mogis? Other than it being dickish.

[@ieatlegosx]

Banterbear capsize was in the graveyard at that point.

[@YBladeY]

Our playgroup just auto concedes to infinite whatever and continues to play for second without the infinite player since they won first place.

[@kassill3786]

Great game and a W for team parnell! Plus being the only mono colored deck and RED made it that much sweeter

[@sandman423]

Watching the intro as I speak...We will see you in the game!

[@hamishian0]

Great show, really anyone's game there!

[@ToniMayol]

Sorry for your loss Jeremy, my condolences

[@williamkorb8211]

I had a feeling the format would be pauper! I’m surprised we didn’t see more of the legends from Dominaria. Stephen could have played Shanna at least. Great episode as always guys! I always love watching especially pauper edh. Been a fan since season 0 it feels like. Really hoping I win this giveaway! I’d love to have all of you guys sign the legends in the decks and maybe the tokens! Best wish to all you guys! Keep up the good work and ignore the haters, especially in KZbin, it’s full of them!

[@Oblivixn1999]

Great video as always guys, keep up the awesome work!

[@Jchmcom]

All the times I lost because of Vapor Snag back when they played Blue/White Delver in standard. The flashbacks.. *Vietnam memories*

[@marc-olivierpaille-binet3155]

Loved your video guys!!! Great work! Very entertaining!

[@Ghaespar]

I have to say, I was really sceptical about pauper, but it turned out ok. Though, playing good ol' Commander is just more fun and from a brewers point a lot better ;)

[@DisturbedandTool]

There should be an aspect to the game where they can use the points the accumulate during the weeks to do special things, such as re-rolling a deck for randomonium, increasing starting life totals, etc.

[@epicfail9271]

39:20 Jon - I have all the mana, you(Justin) have all the power. Meanwhile, Jeremy has all the cards....while Stephen just wants to participate in the game.

[@theclassics6922]

Stephen Green playing Seshiro the Anointed! Just think of all the juicy Kamigawa cards he could use to kill Justin with! I could even provide my personal deck list.

[@smashdjaffas420]

Love the content guys, entered! My request would be to have the large cards signed by all 5 of you. And for Jon to sign one of each basic colour

[@valentijnas2661]

You should do an episode where you all spin for a color/color pairing. Then make a deck without knowing who the commander is going to be. Director Kyle then picks out four commanders in that color for each of you individually and everyone spins again to see what commander they get, just before the episode begins.

[@eriktheos6022]

12:51 why didnt you call it swoleback troll Longswole Squad, Ainok Swole-kin and the like? I'm kinda disappointed Stephen

[@Money4Nuthing]

Even if Jon didn’t want to sweep the battlefield with Capsize, he should have won by looping Dormant Sliver to draw his deck, then mill everyone out with Screeching Sliver.

[@EngineerfifeninerO]

23:18 game start. Your welcome internet

[@joshwagner9519]

Chase, you are a scholar and a gentlemen.

[@surakhiri]

Long intro is long!

[@xF3arl]

What about my welcome?

[@118bone]

You're

[@gmfireater1]

Their intros are long and sometimes boring, but sometimes it's gold!

[@grahamfulmer3703]

So I have been a fan since y’all were just starting this. Like with Wes! You guys are literally what I look forward to every week. Although I think y’all pick on Jeremy too much....and Mr. Green (even though it’s warrented for him). I’m not one to comment. I think what would be great in the giveaway (if I win). Would be for you guys to figure out what card you like the most and sign that specific card. You guys are awesome and keep up the amazing work.....even though you have had 12 seasons of it. P.S. screw the time stamp guy.

[@Rebornhell]

Wait, why didnt they pick legendaries? Parnell could have made a sweet Zada deck with commons! Like all her good "cantrips" and token generators are common.

[@jonathansloan3505]

When and where are you announcing the winners for the decks? Please and thank you :)

[@KingdomCrusader]

Poor Steven. It feels like he had the short end of the stick we with Selesnya. I mean if he had gotten Gruul like Susan had told him to, he might have had more fun. And he did have the disenchant. Just called Naturalize

[@turtlking]

I'm currently working on the binge thing, but being in Vet School, it's slow going.

[@GeorgeAlone2277]

Jeremy's deck is everything I want to do in commander. Draw cards.

[@ToniMayol]

7:07 when Stephen says I wonder... He shifts weight and Jeremy bends and something like a fart sounds, that's suspicious

[@LethalPigeon7]

Playing out the game past john getting capsize seems reaaaaaally dumb. He can bounce everything, draw his whole deck by sliver recursion leaving a card or two and then crack in for lethal next turn (or next couple turns not to get hosed by rules or if theres insufficient power), or mill for lethal, or whatever his mana sinks may be.

[@nicmonster]

Aww man i would love to win those decks as i wasnt able to pick the set up this year.

[@RuffiganPDH]

I'm glad you guys tried PDH! But the rules that the online PDH community follows is 30 life and 16 commander. Do you feel that the game would have gone differently if you were playing with these rules?

[@doktorwyvern2883]

Infinite mana is a bit lame, but good episode.

[@DraconisMarchVII]

Of course it was John who did it AND had degenerate ways to use it.

[@doktorwyvern2883]

DraconisMarchVII The moment he transmuted for capsize I began actively routing for anyone but Jon to win, and was hoping for blossoming defense-esque shenagins. I was not disappointed.

[@YBladeY]

Our playgroup just auto concedes to infinite whatever and continues to play for second without the infinite player since they won first place.

[@dennisbradford7216]

Ainok Survivalist was printed at common in Master 25

[@derpymushroom3877]

STEVEN! Where’d you get that shirt?? It’s so cool

[@brunononohay1964]

Hay, just asking, is there a way that you sign the commanders on the sets you are giving away? :D That will be even special to have them this way :D

[@kismetsoul4593]

When is the next commander vs coming out??

[@Richardwelford1245]

This way, we don't have to sleep with our heads in the mud.

[@mickienorris-saucedo3471]

Aw man, jeramy! That same trick with the capsize would have worked with naturalile on your shroud aura thing! You could have killed Jon to death.

[@NelsonPascuzzi]

Justin had Jon in his hands last turn anyway if he would have just used flamewave invoker on him end of jeremy's turn, use it again, and attack with his forestwalker.

[@jamesguillette3878]

Should have called it the coliseum of grandomness

[@lordderyk]

For Stephen: my daughter Madi LOVES Eldrazi Scions. We put together a Naya tokens deck commanded by Gahiji that she thinks you would like to play. Besides the standard OP token cards like Doubling Season, Anointed Procession, and Parallel Lives, she's also running Earl of Squirrel because lol. Madi's favorite win-con is Triumph of the Hordes. Who could ask for a better win than overrunning your opponent with 1/2 Infect Eldrazi tokens? Besides, I don't recall seeing anyone play Gahiji, yet. It's a great political combat card. "You know, if you swing with the team at Justin, all your creatures get bigger...." Here is the link: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/naya-duders-3/

[@ss1gohan13]

Throwing my name into the give-a-way!

[@baconsauce8767]

Best part of the week

[@twinkamikaze3524]

Love the Coliseum. Still hoping you'll try my different names. Keep having fun with it! #teamgreen #justicefortwin #elbanditorandito #enclosureofenigmas

[@bullshifterz8815]

Anyone know where I can buy that lotus T shirt Mr Green is wearing? Really like it

[@RETURNTOMONKAE]

want to see an episode of reverse pauper. Only mythics and rares except for basic lands

[@Staplerp]

I'm not sure if they were trolling at the end or not; where's the best place to send viewer submitted decklists?

[@BaneAlleyMagic]

Is there a reason no one played using one of the legendary uncommons from Dominaria?

[@ottoahlfors]

Suarez could you play a Grenzo, dungeon warden deck at the end of the season. In the panel you said you had been thinking about building one for yourself. #teamsuarez P.S I just built my own and would love to see your take on the deck

[@mythiccmouse6214]

Is there a announcement for who won the decks or what?

[@ultiplayer1]

@1:20:40 Heliod + Skybind is great tech.

[@The1TrueCRACKER]

Jonathan Suarez tan is insane I want his tan and the deck he played

[@kandjar]

Blade Runner 2049 is a really good movie, def worth watching!! ... unless you have poor taste and didn't like the original Blade Runner.

[@mikelteson1342]

Ummm all the mana with capsize and his commander= play whole deck win... right??

[@nolanmartin4813]

Would fanatic of mogis' ability not be Commander dmg?

[@mikeslade195]

Can someone please explain how that infinite mana combo works? I don't see it.

[@TheVenomRex]

I hope your going to try out cEDH in the near future.

[@microdog]

Do you guys get paid per episode? How can we get this show twice a week?

[@tajicbladeofthelegion5474]

Only a few minutes into a pauper match, and Jon already has infinite mana

[@braveguy7942]

[@reclaimer2382]

Can Stephen sign all the decks if I win? :D

[@alexkeyser7322]

I think if I won a giveaway I would just have everyone sign their favorite card from the set. As a side note, loved playing with fanatic of mogis back in theros. I ran a red black devotion deck that’s goal was to play as many Gary’s and fanatics to do insane damage to the opponent. Brings back fine memories!

[@MestHoop]

#TeamParnell Next theme 4x mono black pls. Also, disappointing in Kyle for forgetting Chaoseceum #NoScoops

[@erodoneo]

Not a fan of Pauper EDH due to the power disparity but good work guys.

[@neonlordsrpg]

Where is this week????

[@luke-fo7bn]

is the giveaway only to USA entries? hope not :)

[@aedanwells7774]

No black, but at least there’s a monk red deck!

[@daleway5429]

Where is this week's episode?

[@DeknasAnimated]

I have a question for everyone in the comment section. Do you root for one of guys bcuz they are your favorite person or do you root for the deck?

[@frankieh]

The Awe-inspiring Arena of the Arbitrary.
