Commander VS S8E1: Razaketh vs Unesh vs Djeru vs Neheb

[@sofer2230]

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

[@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?

[@drunkenhyena3121]

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

[@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 :)

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@austinp8192]

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

[@The_Squirrel_Samurai]

Game starts at 17:00

[@CanadianBigmoose]

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

[@inferiusrex6416]

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

[@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!

[@dantehicks36]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@ToniMayol]

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

[@kingfuzzy2]

Seems entirely reasonable

[@tomwhitmer6227]

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

[@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

[@JohnnyDeLeo1]

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

[@dakkon5442]

Please never stop. This series is great!

[@Yourfriendtex]

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

[@xTriggernometry]

@39:39 Crypt of Agadeem only counts black creatures

[@TheGigapops]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@fabiankatzenbeisser8849]

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

[@raziel1132]

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

[@treasureberry7154]

Steven green should play that new horse so he becomes indestructible

[@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.

[@milesstone2501]

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

[@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.

[@valentijnas2661]

That moment when justin has a 30 minute turn 😂

[@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!

[@Zentenski]

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

[@ethansouza5457]

Awesome start to the season guys!

[@jorisvanooijen1799]

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

[@swimmingcorgi7429]

yo am I the only one who thinks neheb the eternal would be good in a heartless hidetsugu commander?

[@clintonfleming5974]

Thank the heavens! Your all back!

[@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.

[@TeveshKP]

Agadeem only counts Black Creatures, your Artifact Creatures don't add to the mana Justin.

[@JParnell1]

It does indeed, I just blanked on it. Fortunately it didn't effect much.

[@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.

[@mats_psf]

Was it just me who got really impressed by Justin's Rise of The Dark realm turn?

[@ninchia]

I wasn't he could have put Razza in grave and gotten him back, MAJOR missplay.

[@mats_psf]

You're right

[@megapixzel]

maybe you forgot because his turn lasted 45min but justin cast yawgmoths will that turn. if he had sent razeketh to the graveyard he would have had to let it resolve into exile (gone forever) or send it to the command zone anyway

[@johnavis2545]

I'm so glad you guys are back.

[@winnkey]

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

[@DrCliche]

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

[@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

[@YoannGosselin]

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

[@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 :)

[@ChristiantrospectiveGamer]

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

[@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.

[@magicplayer87b62]

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

[@gregsorenson4189]

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

[@harleylorentzon3839]

Team Esteban Verde! Starting the season strong, coming out with a vengeance after that season 7 highway robbery!

[@Salcamful]

It's Back!!!

[@ultiplayer1]

Great episode and great end.

[@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

[@nikolasrobertson3634]

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

[@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!

[@7MukuroRealm]

Between casting his general 4 times, getting first blood, and Stephen killing errybody I think Jeremy actually came ahead in point totals.

[@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

[@coreysierchio4650]

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

[@Svydnar]

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

[@PrinceVegeta91]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Lightshade49]

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

[@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!

[@VVhirl]

all of the decks were sweet. great jobs all.

[@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!"

[@LlamaNewton]

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

[@ZanZerejin]

YES! HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK IS BACK!

[@iggyn8us]

Big love to yall!!!!

[@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!

[@VincentTurregano]

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

[@christopherpurches2774]

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

[@LoLslainer]

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

[@greyborg3846]

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

[@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.

[@FoolishOptimistPrime]

I've been waiting for that sphinx lord. He went into my Riku deck immediately.

[@larsgossel7510]

mirrage mirror became one of my favorite cards when i saw it prereleased. i love copying things and it can copy pretty much anything.

[@Chooch1080]

Love the episode y'all!

[@waves3456]

You're hearing from someone who has ACTUALLY been waiting for a sphinx lord. Thank you Wizards. 🙏

[@Comedy7788]

Hey Justin, where can we found your podcast?

[@Fooz247]

Best episode yet!

[@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?

[@GellarFieldEngineer]

I Feel like a mother, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!"

[@matthewb2120]

I watch them all, sorry i wasnt giving you guys the thumbs up. ill do my part now!

[@moldytaters4190]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@thepolishprince851]

You guys can never stop making episodes lol

[@joshuabraska1028]

I am making a spreadsheet that is tracking who has gotten first blood, who has one the most games, and who has earned the most points over all and this episode is where Stephen took the lead in most points over Justin by .2 points. Stephen has 168.5, Justin has 168.3.

[@seanmalbrough183]

Yes! I need some EDH Versus in my life!

[@TALBovey]

Since Neheb was played today, i would like to see an Ashling, the Pilgrim deck with stuff like grafted exoskeleton, magebane armor, and the likes that make Ashling a literal bomb but keeping her alive. Or Reaper King with mono scarecrows with conspiracy.

[@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.

[@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

[@darkeyednewt2694]

all hail stephen, all hail stephen sire you have returned

[@Tylerbrave]

marionette master is target player not each player
