Commander VS S8E1: Razaketh vs Unesh vs Djeru vs Neheb

[@aaronstanley6010]

Hey Commander Versus crew, it's the guy from the GP that had you all sign my Cryptic Command!! Glad to have you back, keep up the great content :)

[@sofer2230]

I don't think this gets said often enough, so, THANK YOU DIRECTOR KYLE!

[@drunkenhyena3121]

The end was some instant karma. The moment where Jeremy asked "Wait, 80 mana?!", was so funny!

[@SCGCommander]

(Jeremy) Welcome back everyone! Today we're taking on the 4 mono-colored Legends from Hour of Devastation. "But what about those sweet new God cards?" I hear you say. "Don't you worry about the God cards, let me worry about blank." I respond. Also, Stephen is a terrifying horse man.

[@JohnnyDeLeo1]

Star City Games That Futurama reference was on point Jeremy! I award 100 points to team Noell!

[@totalcoward]

Star City Games love the series! Always happy to see it come of break Edit: off*

[@strategicambiguity8390]

Mill Justin with the Bugz

[@jmcalcy69]

Star City Games I appreciate the Fry joke.

[@garthmichel]

I'm new to the series, so was wondering where we can see the deck lists?

[@matthugenberg8869]

I loved this game. Not only was the gameplay clean, you guys we're funny and super entertaining today. I like how the video showed that Razaketh COULD have won the turn justin went off, but he didn't build a combo into the deck so the other decks could do things. Also The Locust God is definitely the most powerful besides Razaketh. Its so easy to just create a board state with Locust that kills in the turn you start your wheeling. Keep up the great work guys!!

[@DeclanCC]

I want to thank the director and editor for this video, these four put so much work for you guys in to just the intro and you all pulled it off. thank you.

[@CanadianBigmoose]

This has got to be one of the best Commander Vs games. So much happening, so much fun. Keep it up!

[@SainCheese]

I don't typically like AND comment but I just wanted to say thank you guys for coming back. Wish I could play a game with all of you!

[@music1playlists]

So I am not a regular with this series at all, but I watch occasionally.. This game was awesome!! Loved the decks, and the energy! Thanks for posting!

[@JohnnyDeLeo1]

Few things can make my day quite like seeing a half horse half Stephen Green! Thank you director Kyle!

[@tomwhitmer6227]

This was definitely one episode I had fun watching. What you did here, figure out what it was and do more of it.

[@Acraviotot]

In the event of a tie you could have a match of 1v1 commander between the two champions. Extra content, new and spicy.

[@cadenglass1387]

And the losers act like a pit crew. Or it could be two headed giant.

[@Acraviotot]

Ooh the pit crew sounds fun.

[@Sethgtb100]

Andrés Cravioto nah the two losers create the deck.

[@thejoulesthief6841]

This.

[@NamedAfterTexas]

But this is why I'm subscribed to SCG. Keep this show going!

[@dakkon5442]

Please never stop. This series is great!

[@andrewtodryk8454]

Ok I've never actually commented on a KZbin video before but had to say this was one of the best commander vs. episodes I've ever seen (pretty sure I've seen all or most of them). Y'all this was mf classic return to form and why I watch this show! Had me chuckling the whole time. Parnell going off with mono black, getting savaged by Suarez on some nasty busted control ish, topped off with a mono red Stephen Green win?! A+ 10/10

[@murdacai4274]

I'm one of the people that consulted with Stephen and we demand he be placed in his proper throne lol. You guys keep up the great work.

[@Yourfriendtex]

is it just me, or is the most soothing part of commander vs all of the sounds they make with their cards

[@inferiusrex6416]

Thank you director Kyle, i feel people don't say that enough.

[@The_Squirrel_Samurai]

Game starts at 17:00

[@Punintentionally]

I look forward to these videos every week. This was a great game with a lot of fun interactions. Looming forward to more great content like Ixalan and C17.

[@Punintentionally]

*Looking

[@BrunoCasagrandaNeves]

Commander vs, Game Knights and Commander Clash are my favorite series in all YT/twitch cosmos. Keep it up, SCG!

[@adamroxdahouse]

This is my favorite show on KZbin I'll like every commander vs in existence before i see it go. Keep up the good work guys

[@Zentenski]

I played sphinx tribal before Unesh! I was so happy to see him in the previews^^

[@dantehicks36]

Mirage Mirror was my promo at PreRelease. It was a game winning card.

[@RoughToughTonkasGotTheStuff]

Haven't watched yet -- but 1. Am super stoked to have you back and 2. Cannot wait to see how Unesh plays, sphinx tribal = best tribal.

[@jorisvanooijen1799]

This was indeed a really good episode, please keep going with this

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

Anyone know the song used When Torment of Hailfire was shown at 9:33? Also, I really hope Stephen's deck is called "X Gon' Give It to Ya!"

[@winnkey]

This was a very entertaining episode. Best episode in a while

[@pegwin7743]

Hey guys! I've watched every vid since McDarby started this series and I have to say, I love the direction it has taken on over the seasons. I've got two things for you. The first is something my friends and I started doing just to try out possibilities for decks. We've been going on edhrec and trying out random commanders and just playing their average deck lists. I've discovered some really fun decks that way that are not as popular. Second, I would love if Suarez would play Kaho, Minamo Historian when it comes time. Thanks for all the content! PS. I have now also started liking videos.

[@raziel1132]

I've been waiting for this for like, 1 month. THANK YOU!

[@hnjahnjah]

If there ever was someone like Dr. Doom,it's damn Stephen Green! And i love you for it buddy! Keep being a villain,especially to Justin! Also,great video as usual and i'd really love to see a 4 way MILL battle....why? To piss Parnell off,ofcourse!

[@skootchk1253]

Hey Justin, I saw that you play the Palladium Myr. My playgroup always gives me so much flak for having them in my decks so it's nice to see someone else recognizing their utility. Also really want to see a partner planeswalker battle.

[@nickolauscolon]

I"VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOO LONG!! ugh i've had to watch other mtgo games just to watch something for commander!! You guys are the best. I will still suggest that you all break the game and CREATE YOUR OWN COMMANDERS!!! That is all. Neheb the eternal is going to be my next deck

[@TheGigapops]

This wasn't the Glorious End episode I was looking for but this was a great episode to rewatch.

[@mjjdj88]

Its season 8. You'd think he would have learned to not deal with Stephen anymore hahah Fun match to watch, welcome back boys

[@ethansouza5457]

Awesome start to the season guys!

[@johnavis2545]

I'm so glad you guys are back.

[@clintonfleming5974]

Thank the heavens! Your all back!

[@gregsorenson4189]

You guys are awesome!! You guys remind me a lot of my play group

[@magicplayer87b62]

Great video, the game always seemed close, and those are the best games

[@ultiplayer1]

Great episode and great end.

[@DrCliche]

I eagerly await three gods and bolas! I love the show guys. Keep it up. Best part of the week.

[@An_Exile]

Man I love mirage mirror. Works just like scion too. Can activate it multiple times to copy multiple things and activate their abilities in between if you use the stack properly.

[@chrislott2628]

I'm the person they were talking about who was waiting for a Sphinx commander. It's always been one of my favorite underrated tribes that never had enough support.

[@nikolasrobertson3634]

#TEAMGREEN The curse of mono red is BROKEN LOLOLOL. Sweet justice has been achieved Good Job Steven

[@CalderaWolf]

1:25:30 it says "except it's a 4/4 black zombie" so they should not count as sphinxes

[@lorddraekan]

Great video! All 4 decks were fun. Jon's list was hilarious. Justin's list looked very powerful, and Stephen's list was a nice win for mono-red. Not a fan of the Sphinx but I can see the appeal. Looking forward to a this season and a hopeful season 9. I think Justin should build a 4 player mill deck.....be on the other end of the mill theme...Just saying.

[@TundraWolfe]

A thought: It might be cool at some point to see a gauntlet-style series of Commander VS. Maybe you start with a bunch of randomly selected decks, roughly balanced to each other, and the winner of that episode keeps their deck until next episode. Everybody else gets a new deck, then you play again -- winner moves on. Then, at the end of the series, you can have a championship game where the four best decks go against each other -- one deck would be the one that lasted the longest in the gauntlet, one would be the one that won the final game, one would be the deck that earned the most points in a single match, and then maybe the deck that won in the least number of turns (or something). Could be a fun time!

[@KaiserKaizen]

Loved this episode! I was patiently waiting for a new episode and it was worth it! Can you guys do 1 episode of Competitive EDH / Commander? I would like that! I will make sure to share this video on my facebook page and may facebook group. More power guys!

[@SIXFOOTDOWN]

I love that artifact too i got 2 in prerelease and i put them both in decks seemed to good.

[@VVhirl]

all of the decks were sweet. great jobs all.

[@chernobyl13]

How fitting for a Minotaur to be the winning red general! Homelands would be proud. Awesome video, guys! Thanks for all your nonsense and shenanigans.

[@coreysierchio4650]

The card draw of Mono Red to take out all threats. Well Done Steven.

[@ChristiantrospectiveGamer]

YES!!! IT'S BACK!!! Damn glad to see ya' guys!

[@strategicambiguity8390]

OMG! Welcome back gentlemen, you have been missed, if I may be so bold to ask, could one of you guys make The Locust god deck with a mill build and mill out Justin Parnell :)

[@MestHoop]

Idea for a theme: Hidden commander. Build your deck around a legendary creature that is in the 99. The actual commander can have more colors than the hidden commander, so you get to play with cool stuff you normally can't run! For example: 5 color nekusar.

[@LoLslainer]

I just thought of an insane drinking game!!! Whenever Suarez says the word "respond" or "response" you drink! Have fun playing

[@thewakaemu117]

You guys should do an episode where you use the prebuilt planeswalker decks here's how it would work. First pick any of the planeswalker decks from kaladesh on there are 8. Rules. The planeswalker is you commander and the base colors from the prebuilt are the colors you get to play. Now to make it more interesting you are simply adding 40 singleton cards to the deck. You have to play all sixty cards from the planeswalker walker deck meaning you get multiples of cards in that deck but no others. Seems pretty cool Like so they see it and do it!

[@Tepig027]

imagine Justin, Razakith and Meren? Meren the commander obviously. outside the exile and needing lifegain, i think it would be impressive combo!! great game guys, i think i have enjoyed this one the best. keep it up #TeamSCG

[@xTriggernometry]

@39:39 Crypt of Agadeem only counts black creatures

[@revengedealer]

This was awesome as always ^_^

[@milesstone2501]

"Where'd that glacial chasm just come from?" Lol...

[@PrinceVegeta91]

I lost it when seeing again that Stephen went for Mono Red. Thats why we love you man! #TEAMGREEN!

[@theguywithaweirdname94]

Jon trying to bend the rules at the end haha. Nice game guys, I thought Razaketh was nice but now I know he's broken haha

[@fabiankatzenbeisser8849]

Cool vid could you pls Post the decklists that would be really nice

[@triadcorn2222]

this is the first video ive liked in a while just because i like parnell and he told me to

[@Chooch1080]

Love the episode y'all!

[@LlamaNewton]

I got mirage mirror in my pre-release pool, and I can confirm the hype. It's super good.

[@greyborg3846]

Good job, Steven. Mono Red Commander is finally justified.

[@Luke.rhaus42]

So glad to see you're all back. I think I'm cursed by Djeru; I've opened around 15 copies in to booster boxes and two prerelease packs (one of which was my promo). Please, convince me he's at least somewhat good?

[@Fooz247]

Best episode yet!

[@ultiplayer1]

@1:12:12 I think Stephen has a blind spot for Destroy Artifact/Enchantment. He looked at Fiery Confluence. Looked at the board. Saw there were a ton of artifacts. And then decided the best thing to do was kill Justin's two creatures. It's like Fiery Confluence didn't have the text "Destroy Artifact" on it.

[@YoannGosselin]

That game was awesome! Justin, that one turn was simply glorious. Typical Steven to ruin it... XD

[@nonstripedzebra]

I wish more people would play Mogis' Marauder in their black decks. Reanimating everything while also giving it haste and intimidate has been pretty good for me in the past!

[@frankdelgado7405]

great episode. can't wait to see how this season comes out. ever think about having guest players?

[@ZanZerejin]

YES! HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK IS BACK!

[@Svydnar]

That's exactly how I wanted Neheb to play. Nice!

[@saint-cetacean]

31:57 John's Dreamstone Hedron didn't have haste, did it?

[@dexterelliott2767]

Den the Whale Artifacts don't have summoning sickness

[@iggyn8us]

Big love to yall!!!!

[@ToniMayol]

That camera has fooled me too many times, I always see Suarez with a man-bun

[@kingfuzzy2]

Seems entirely reasonable

[@mtgdad9812]

Is there any thoughts on possibly doing some videos on each person's approach to how they build their decks? It seems like some episodes they create several decks before choosing their final one. While, I think it would be fun to see Stephen's thought process on building decks, I think listening to John's would be the most enlightening. Also, I was wondering if there are any thoughts from everyone on when to upgrade the Commander Pre-Con decks. I am having a hard time pulling the trigger on making changes to the 2016 decks. I thoroughly enjoy how they play all ready, even though I know I can make the better. Anyone else find themselves in the same conundrum? Keep up the videos guys, I love them. I work 3-12 hours shifts, Mon-Wed. So when I get off work Thursday morning, watching the new video is a great way to start my weekend.

[@tigerwarrior1787]

Oh sweet, HOD Mono-colored legends CMDRVS! And Neheb Mana Generation shenanigans happen... classic Red Burn Reward deck tech. I see what you did there Mr. Green. AND THAT ULAMAG HAS A TYPO IN IT'S EFFECTS! IT SHOULD SAY "When this card attacks, Justin Parnell loses the top 20 cards off their deck."! WE MUST CORRECT THIS!!!

[@alexortiz9595]

im defenetly on team green lol. good job stephen. nice win :)

[@Chinafarmerz]

39:35 Justin counts Paladium Myr for his crypt, which only cares about Black creatures. 44:49 Justin makes everyone lose life off Marionette Master even though it targets. Jeremy even picks it up and reads it later.

[@christopherpurches2774]

Glad to see the triumph of mono-red - Neheb is really awesome!

[@fatherburt2765]

I'm so Happy Neheb won. I have my own deck built around him that does pretty much the same thing and it's way more powerful then I ever thought it would be

[@santaclauseking]

This game made me want to build Neheb Burn and I did and it is so much fun!

[@VincentTurregano]

Dark Realms! Finally great to see a fun spell resolve.

[@Lightshade49]

This was a really good game, there were so many times i couldn't stop laughing at the little jabs.

[@moldytaters4190]

This is my favorite series, we waited a bit over 2 months. Hahahahaaaa

[@randomination14]

I think I'm going to be on team Director Kyle :) Are you guys going to post the decklists? I would like to see the list of at least the Razaketh deck.

[@darkeyednewt2694]

all hail stephen, all hail stephen sire you have returned

[@NicksMagicstorytime]

Neheb is awesome. He is the new commander in my red chaos deck. It is designed to just screw with the game and not to win, but Neheb makes it very tempting to take it that way. Finally a mono-red commander that is s real contender.

[@Salcamful]

It's Back!!!

[@bartenderjacque7238]

The only reason I haven't been watching as much lately is because there's a lot of friendly banter going on which is usually funny. Only thing is that sometimes I'm trying to listen to what the functionality of a card is, but a couple of people are usually talking on the side. While I still end up looking up the card later, I can see why some people would be put off by it.

[@smokeydad78sc68]

I've recently started watching your videos and enjoy the content very much. I have noticed a recurring theme. It seems most games turn into Archenemy Justin Parnell.

[@7MukuroRealm]

Okay Commander Vs, you have a perfect opportunity that you need to capitalize on. Randamonium for the Amonkhet Gods. There are 8 of them, so you can do two weeks. I suggest each person designs two decks for two gods and then puts them in the Randmonium to see who pulls what. If you're listening, you should do it.

[@amphetamean66X]

Neheb is so beauifu!!! He's everything a Burn player dreams of. Stephen you da MAN!!!

[@thepolishprince851]

You guys can never stop making episodes lol

[@davidmeaux6685]

Hell yeah, #TeamGreen! Finally a red win too!
