Commander at Home #21 - Baru vs Omenkeel vs Zedruu vs Vorthos with Ben Brode and Spencer Crittenden

[@commanderathome]

Ben was so excited for this deck ahead of time, I knew I couldn't say no even though I wanted to so bad 😅 We hope y'all enjoyed watching this half as much as we enjoyed playing and filming it!! Thanks so much for being on this wild ride with us 🥰 -Olivia

It is weird how that happens 😊but myes. It good times 4 player is often more fun to play as it can be forgiving compared to 1v1

[@92Roar]

This is a ridiculous game to be your first! But it does have a wide variety of content condensed into one game

[@BrankoSkrobica-fk2fs]

Its pretty complicated....card effects wise or more specifically how card effects combo with each other,you know what...nvm

[@jacobmoorman6323]

Yo @GaGaGu775, very curious, did you ever get into commander or other Magic formats since this, and if so, what do you play?

[@GaGaGu775]

@ I did get really interested in commanders, learned a lot about it and even started playing mtg arena. Unfortunately I don’t really have a community to play with and really learn with, so I didn’t bother investing in a deck. I still watch Magic videos from time to time thanks to Kibler :D

[@TheSteffChris]

Spencer stealing the bronce calendar has to be one of the funniest plays I’ve ever seen

[@dragonraizen]

I am disappointed he chose to sacrifice it instead of gift it. Does the recipient have to abide by the previously chosen voice?

[@laynegrey2003]

@@dragonraizen So the person who controls it can use any accent other than their own, and can swap whenever they want according to the Gatherer rulings, the only thing you have to do is not use your normal voice or it gets sacrificed. I checked specifically because of this video lmao

[@Nienna_Asyare]

The BronZe Calendar was definitely a huge source of laughs xD

[@thetruth4654]

Brian is so good at magic that he is essentially guiding three other players towards doing the correct plays consistently. It`s impressive to watch

[@somefishhere]

He technically missed the Zedruu photocopy and forgot to tell Olivia to use a Sorcery speed interaction on it haha. Love that he just made a pyramid of wurms this match

[@ChadEichhorn]

He also told Olivia that Selvala couldn't make her any blue mana. Earlier in that turn she even said "I'll spend 3 of the blue" and only after he said that did she start treating it like it was colorless (for her purposes)

[@DrewHuggins423]

They should get 3 other pro’s to play Judges Tower and see who loses first.

[@zale9604]

This game had many good moments, but Spencer's "I have a plan" may be one of the funniest moments in Commander history! 🤣

[@Cheerwine091]

This is the reason why Un Cards are fun to use once in a while. Would definitely get sick of them if they were every game, but once in a while, shit like the “I have a plan” moment make it all worth it.

[@saint-cetacean]

That one moment made this episode a mistake to watch in public, I was fighting for my LIFE

[@lfwalrus]

In order to fully appreciate that joke you need to have Played commander Know about unfinity cards Watched Arnold S movies And heard all of the lead up and play so far of the game And it’s amazing

​@@lfwalrusi haven't watched any of Arnold's movies, but I am from Austria and I loved this moment so much :D

[@crypto727]

Spencer’s just saying 4 at 22:11 made me explode in laughter. Absolutely perfect comedic timing.

[@dominik1993sagner]

The best thing is, the card got never played again, just dangled as a threat

[@ugusername]

Ben Brode is such a precious treasure. Please keep inviting him back. He kept up the Arnold voice the whole time which is legit. The man of that control and determination to inflict shenanigans on other players is important in any home commander game Spencer is also very cool just being there and facilitating shenanigans, he gets it absolutely

[@Aradalf]

He deserves better hosts than the absolutely rude hosts (specifically Olivia) on this channel. He was nothing but extremely polite, while she tried her hardest to make the game unfun because she was salty at the concept of his deck. Episode would have been significantly better with Spencer and Ben playing with literally anybody else.

[@mortenfrederiksen3063]

Honestly i have to assume the people obsessed with sleeving are just slobs. I didnt sleeve my cards even once in the 15 years i played magic and my cards were still in good condition at the end of it and i got most of my money back when i sold them. Sleeving is not that big a deal if you just take care of your stuff properly.

[@archmagemechanic1]

Thank you Olivia and Brian for the best Commander gameplay series out there. Thank you to Ben for always bringing a delightful game (or, in this case, UNgame) to the table. And thank you to Spencer for one of the greatest moments in Commander gameplay show history.

The game hasn't even started, and Ben dealt a significant amount of commander rules damage to Olivia.

[@Barkisplum]

Been a fan of Spencer's for almost ten years and it's so great to see him playing with the big people of the magic community

You are all an absolute joy to watch (especially Ben the maniac), and I hope your sub count continues to explode - you all deserve it! Also, Ben now makes me want to build an Un-deck solely to surprise my friends with.

[@WiLDRAGE777]

By far the best episode of EDH of any channel I have ever watched. The ending was truly brilliant.

[@ap194]

This was, without a doubt, my favorite episode yet. I laughed so much. So many great moments. The Un cards weren't even what drove this game into madness and I'm here for it. Also, Brian realizing he has infinite wurms and Olivia proclaiming "but that's stupid and we don't play that way" was my favorite part. The games played on this channel are the types of games I like to be a part of.

[@Gimpocalypse]

I love Spencer. He's the kind of understated funny, where he's mostly quiet, but damn the things he says are pure gold every time. Quality over quantity. For example, the "four" at 22:11 killed me

[@shadowwhip]

The whole section of him stealing the calendar only to decide he didnt want to do the voice anymore and just going "uuh, you know...well..." and just putting in Bens graveyard destroyed me

[@topherbrown1857]

And the ending, too. Man had me crying multiple times from the laughter

[@liendolf]

This was one of the funniest commander games I have watched. Thank you for putting this on. Between this show, Elder Dragon Hijinks, and Prof's Shuffle Up and Play, I am able to get my Magic fix even though I am unable to go to the store and play as much as I used to. Episodes like this also bring genuine laughter to me, which is something I really need now. Thank you. Content like this mean more than you know.

[@heykak]

spencer and ben is a perfect combo

[@moviesnapper]

Straight up one of the best Magic games I've ever watched. Felt so wholesome. So entertaining and fun. Thanks for letting Ben play that deck, added to the whole friends and home feel. And good job with Ben remembering to keep his phone going. And Spencer's constant quips, topping it all off.
