Commander at Home #18 - Mowu v Rin & Seri v Minsc & Boo v Arahbo w/ Arin Hanson and Jumbo Commander

[@zargaden]

Arin realizing he watched DJ's video the night before was gold.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Kibler is an example of why players like Crim need to exist. Sometimes you just need somebody with 25 forms of removal.

[@commanderathome]

Shhhh don't tell them

[@mightyone3737]

I'm pretty sure Crim has held onto his copy of Acid Rain for just such a game.

[@sunnyhui2646]

Best type of removal is player removal, only if the agree to all swing at Kibler at give everyone 2 turns to rebuild after

[@PyRo2CyNiC]

My zurgo deck is specifically for that kind of player. It's all politics, giving cards and such, but if you become a problem, 15 forms of board wipe are the cherries.

[@goretoriumgaming8600]

It's me... Hi... I'm the guy who has all the removal... It's me.

[@ozzysmith2571]

Arin's hype at every new thing he sees is so wholesome. He's just happy to be here.

Arin is 100% my favorite guest you’ve had on here and I love that I keep seeing him. He adds so much to the dynamic and he’s always hilarious!

[@koenpenne2661]

He is a fun guy!

[@danielrazo450]

I love that, if you don't know Arin, his introduction sounds like he's just a school friend that works in a blockbuster in Florida, that you invited to play some Magic.

[@PsychoDiesel48]

Chill guy on the streets, Grump in the sheets XD

[@MM-lv7iy]

20:36 Halana and Alena have a lot of things: first strike, reach, a love and respect for each other that is truly incredible… but they don’t have trample, or haste. Whoops!

[@seizan88]

Nice catch! Totally forgot Minsc had that clause.

[@Necroskull388]

I cannot imagine one of my dogs actually staying still enough to play a Commander game around her, Ellie is so well behaved.

[@mattsoule7589]

Watched most of this video on the couch with my "lap dog" lab basically laying on top of me.

[@DoctorV_]

I only dream of my land shark sitting quietly on my lap while I play commander instead of trying to commit crimes

[@miguelfreitas5343]

I absolutely love how friendly Arin is playing the game 😊 no drama, just a dude enjoying life and getting genuinely excited with the cool stuff around the table, be it his own or anyone else's

[@bradsimpson8724]

The single greatest thing about this channel is the vibe. Everyone likes to see everyone's decks do a thing, everyone is pretty laid back about going back to redo a thing that they missed or screwed up(and they actually show the screwups)... it's really what every Commander table should aspire to. There is no shortage of hyper-competitive MTG formats, and this isn't one of them. This channel is the best for encompassing the feeling of the game, in my mind.

[@iCanUseYTwithNoHandlebars]

As someone who dies to massive hamster projectiles regularly I look forward to this game immensely

[@ScottofOakland]

I was gonna build the Minsc and Boo deck until I realized Boo isn't commander damage. Huge letdown.

[@iCanUseYTwithNoHandlebars]

​@@ScottofOaklandFlinging hamsters at face for 30+ around turn 4-6 is kinda a work around to commander damage...

[@drizzl32good16]

I didn't see Brian draw off of great henge from creature spells, I would think that he would but mistakes happen to everyone even the pros

48:25 brian shouldn't have been able to play heroic intervention during combat to save Mowu due to Olivia's Marisi.

[@lokizzz4522]

I believe Marisi ability only work during it controller combat phase but I don’t feel like trying to find at which moment it appear on screen lol

[@jbfasta4603]

I did check before posting. "Your opponents can’t cast spells during combat."

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Marisi's first ability says, "Your opponents can't cast spells during combat." Which means any instant can't be cast during combat.

[@cpugwash7085]

Yeah, but the Deathtouch was known (and in fact announced) so he could just cast it pre-combat if he wanted anyway, so at the end of the day... ;)

Thank you, KZbin algorithm! Now I get to see Arin Hanson, Official group leader of the D-Club play some good old MTG.

22:40 that reference was great! Omg, I did not expect that and it was so good! 😂❤ well done

[@hotdachsbun]

It's always pleasant when DJ the Jumbo Commander is around.

[@koenpenne2661]

Yeah the guy is great!

[@CardsagainstFaeNimo]

If I ever learned anything from watching this, it is how to handle threat assessment better. The assessment is: Brian is always the Threat!

[@nerdlabmtg]

I got to meet Brian, Olivia and D.J. at Magiccon and they are just as amazing in person. Great episode.

[@theaeskey2502]

I love just a good ole fashion game of commander feat. Brian being the problem by doing OP nonsense

[@morganskilly8694]

I'm a rookie to magic and your guy's videos bring me such excitement to get involved. Keep up the great work y'all!

[@commanderathome]

Welcome to the cult!

[@theaeskey2502]

Does anyone remember that movie Cats v. Dogs where cats and dogs are warring factions of spies? This is as close as an approximation to that movie as MTG is going to get.

[@Samuel-nj4yy]

as someone starting the video I only have confused screaming as a reaction

[@spoopyboi1882]

That movie feels like a fever dream

[@koolaiddude7685894]

I absolutely loved that movie as a kid 😂😂 we need more talking animal movies

[@Knives4540]

With how chill he is about everything, it's easy to forget Arin probably didn't care about plugging his stuff because he's on such a different level he has more subscribers than all the biggest MtG channels combined. It's nice seeing how these big names are getting into smaller shows and still having fun.

[@jfrizzell6645]

Just looked him up - WOW - 5.9 million subscribers to his Game Grumps KZbin channel - just shows the video gaming crowd in general is MUCH bigger than the TCG gaming crowd and the MTG gaming crowd specifically!

[@ZeusTheGodSoA]

I've been obsessed with these episodes lately. Yall are the best, I love commander at home simply because it feels so natural! I love command zone and game Knights, but it feels so scripted, which is GREAT sometimes, but this feels so authentic. I love you both, yall are beautiful people.

[@ashsattva]

I don't know how Brian manages to make decks that always become arch-enemy but it's so cool to see. I really admire his deck building ability (and his play skill)

[@calebharding8221]

For the record, Boo does consent to being thrown, at least according to Minsc

[@Shinyrocky69879]

Probably Boo's idea given he's the brain of the team.

[@nicholasrolo886]

DJ's subtle politics are actually really cool to see. He doesn't explicitly make deals, he just "suggests" things

[@rikuaxelsora]

Minsc and Boo can only put counters on creatures with haste and/or trample

It has only been 40 min now, so only 100 people will have mentioned this by now: Firbolg is a DnD race, Firbolg Flutist therefore is in line with Elfish Musician or Siren Stormtamer

Genuinely one of the best commander shows out there, the greatest union between chaos, comedy, and cerenity

[@simonefrasca1774]

Great show, great hosts and guests! Thank you guys✌🏼

[@DarthVincentiusOfficial]

So glad I got to see Brian at MagicCon. (I was wearing a shirt with Arin on it)

[@jaykesmith5135]

Not sure if its been mentioned or was looked up afterwards but Firbolg are a gentle and nature inclined descendent of giants in the DnD world, similar to goliaths if goliaths liked tea and gardening and music. the true gentle giants of Faerun

Simplest way i remember if you get something when someone dies is "Did you control it when he took it?" If yes then you get it back if no then exiled. Lots of situations but usually nice blanket statment.

Arin, bro, I know you're in the comments. When are you going to catch Dan up to speed with modern magic so that he can be on this show (or any of the other shows for that matter) with you!?

[@LiLKooPA69]

22:46 love the ghibli reference to the kaonashi

[@brokensprites]

It takes a while to figure out deck construction. You have to consider the theme or idea behind the build, turn predictions for what you want and how to achieve that through ramp, card draw, protection and a web of interactions. Arin will get there eventually. 👍

[@spamgoose6447]

Great episode as always! Erin's energy always makes me laugh with how surprised he gets at cards lol, fits the show very well! (Also hate to be that person but DJ couldnt put counters on Halana and Alena with Minsc and Boo, because they didnt have Trample or Haste)

[@ariginsburg6228]

Commander's pressure to be "casual" is all about "playing with your food"

[@kingofbudokai]

40:30 As a point of note, giving mowu indestructible in response to generous gift does not, in fact, stop brian from getting the 3/3 elephant token, as they are two separate effects of the card, however, by giving it hexproof as well it becomes an invalid target, and the entire spell fizzles. Just in case anybody was wondering why he didnt get the elephant token.

[@RazorDevil1]
