She came to play!!! And she is super serious! 😂

[@VoxyTwitch]

Aw come on. How was I supposed to know GOBLIN sharpshooter was a GOBLIN?!

[@VoxyTwitch]

In all seriousness yeah I missed swinging with the sharpshooter the turn rabblemaster came in for sure, but watching the episode I don’t think it changed anything too serious in the same other than people possibly changing their plays that turn 😅 love a good miss play. that’s magic babeyyyyyy

Goblin Sharpshooter is just his first name and surname, his creature type should be gun

Goblin Sharpshooter is actually a Kobold. It's shorter, which is why they forced it to become a sharpshooter.

I'm sure this gets mentioned a lot, but I always love how Kibler is so willing to help explain and optimize game actions, even if they're bad for him.

[@loka7783]

Seconded by kill Kibbler before it is too late. :)

[@kylesmith987]

@@Paga650 countrary to popular belief most games of commander are not actually about winning. People make sub optimal plays and even just down right bad plays for the fun of the game instead of the win. I've thrown away many wins in commander just to allow people at the table to have fun and be able to do something instead of getting locked down the entire game until their dead. If everyone was optimal and actually focused on good threat assessment then every single person in the game would look for the person posing the biggest threat and would instantly gang up on them until they died and not allow them to do anything in the game at all. It would make for an extremely unfun format that goes against the entire core foundation of what commander was built on. Also FYI im not talking about CEDH in this example as that is an entirely different experience where everyone at the table opts into that type of experience.

Maybe it's different in the US, but I've never been to a casual gathering where there was a gun brought 🤔

[@J-Sade]

​@@bodkie depends where you are in the US. In rural areas, the south, and the Midwest its very common for people to have them on them or for people to get together to go out and shoot. I dont think that the coasts are not like this though.

"I have a f'n gun" I'm absolutely crying of laughter. The genuine fear from Kibler made it so much better. 9:56

[@ra7wa7]

I feel so naughty when Josh (or any Command Zone host) swear. Like are you sure I was supposed to hear that? Similar (but opposite) feeling when Voxy is on Game Knights and you can see how much she's censoring herself to sound like "oh drat fudgesicles that person has drawn a darn tootin impressive number of cards"

[@eXJonSnow]

Same thing when The Professor goes on another show and they don’t censor him swearing. I’m so used to hearing stuff like “emrakul” that hearing the Prof say “fuck” is always worth a laugh.

[@doctoroctococks8968]

I knew it was blair witch style going in when i saw it years ago when it came out, but just the way its done and the acting gave more credence to the fact this shit could be happening. Alien abductions is one of my only rationally irrational fears that i legit cannot control, That scene about the OWLS in particular stuck me with to this day, i got goosebumps just remembering it when Josh said it. It like how i feel with ghosts, i don't believe in them rationally, but im not so brave at midnight in a old house by myself sometimes, as much as i'd like to think otherwise.

[@Googleflax]

13:30, Goblin Rabblemaster makes ALL your other Goblins have to attack, so the Sharpshooter would have had to attacked as well (unless Voxy tapped it first).

[@bradsimpson8724]

The dynamic between these four was especially great, and this channel sets a consistently high bar with guest chemistry. Also, because I don't think it gets said enough, Olivia and Brian are definitely setting relationship goals, based on what we see on camera. Gameplay fuckups are bound to happen, and I couldn't care less; it's the atmosphere and the chemistry that keeps me engaged.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Ah now this was a fun table. Voxy always fun to see play commander especially when she's being a straight up menace. Josh is always insanely scary and I'm pretty sure has no decks I could play against with how I like building lol Olivia's deck was super cool. For once I would have liked to see Kibler actually do MORE (usually he's already busying doing everything)

[@smeatar]

I love the moment that Voxy realised that she wasn’t the sword of Damocles anymore, although I do think the game was more fun before that moment

[@ElDocBruh]

Olivia just opening Pandora's box there when she killed the goblin with a gun... just kicking it open, releasing all the evils in the world 😱

[@camoyuki]

This whole time I never realized Delayed Blast Fireball was an instant 0.0 That's crazy; I thought it was a sorcery, idk why. I guess because almost every other effect like that is a sorcery XD

When Josh clamped an illusion, he couldn't the cards: it died before it's even equipped!

[@hodlsage8968]

Such an amazing game, Voxy going to 100 real quick, and Josh even looked as if he enjoyed himself more than he has in a long time. Olivia and Kyle Hill (the Pro version) were having a blast.... I now feel commander at home is the best commander channel out there. No shade on other channels, but after this episode, nothing can compare, period !!

So I see Voxy came prepared today, didn't expect her to a wield a gun you know, shutting down the entire right side of the table, so here's a hot tip Voxy, make a machine gun deck, give em all deathtouch and enjoy the chaos.

[@asimplefuture_]

Josh sounded almost defeated by his own deck at the end...like "well, maybe this is...too good."

[@abob7173]

Goblin Rabblemaster has the ability “Other Goblin creatures you control attack each combat if able.” Meaning, Voxy needed to attack with Goblin Sharpshooter

[@matthewoconnor4557]

That cat token looks like it would b from invader zim

[@mashedmentality]

Putting Skullclamp on Esper Sentinel is a pretty Chad play honestly. I mean it is not the best play, or even a good one honestly, but the advantage you get in the mental game from everyone else questioning why you’d ever do that is unbeatable. Even if you lose the game on the board, that play will not leave anyone’s mind for some time and that’s a win all on its own.

Josh Lee Kwai saying “you knew what I was talking about…probably not” had me in tears 🤣🤣🤣
