Not just your guests are awesome, the animations are just pure joy. One of the best episodes so far. Thank you for your effort, you are getting better and better.

Yes you guys need to have Joe on again featuring his Tiamat deck👍🏼👍🏼🐉🐉🔥🔥💯

[@turnugin5645]

Hopefully we see it on extra turns 🤞

[@misterdschroeder4920]

Love the lil facial close ups as everyone takes damage! The snippets of explanation before/after each turn are really nice too! Also Jimmy trying to 'make a deal' with Joe was hilarious!

[@sirrydactyl]

Love all of these players! I've been waiting for the episode with Joe or Becca, and what a treat to see both in the same episode. I love the dungeon map exploring mechanic in Jimmy's deck. I feel like this was a game where we got to see some of what each deck could do. Josh had some trouble getting his Commander to trigger, but the deck was stacked against him...bah-dum-tish. Love this channel! Always so excited to see new Command Zone posts :).

The Etali animation is so simple yet EFFECTIVE. Love it!!

I've known of Joe from dnd for quite some time, but I'm just being introduced to Becca, she seems so cool! Amazing guests for this episode!

[@pizzafire6666]

Magic, DND, Pokemon, YuGiOh, and many many other games have been apart of my life and it's great to see the fun of it mix.

[@Vic161983]

"I don't wanna swing at you Joe!" Joe: "I wouldn't wanna swing at me neither!"

Underrated comment.

I think there was a rules mistake at 41:30 after the Chain Reaction board-wipe, Sefris would not have triggered. Since her ability is an enters the graveyard trigger rather than a dies trigger. So she would have to already be in the graveyard to see the cards enter the graveyard, meaning her ability doesn't trigger. If her ability was "whenever a creature dies", then yes it would have triggered

[@pauloalarcon2638]

A creature dying and a creature going to the graveyard from the battlefield is the same thing. For a creature to die it HAS to go to the graveyard (for example if a creature has a dying trigger, but there's a rest in peace on the battlefield, it doesn't trigger since it didn't die, it went to exile).

[@lucazader]

@@pauloalarcon2638 That is correct. However the Sefris trigger is not a enters the graveyard from the battelfield trigger. If it was it would trigger. It is an enters the graveyard from anywhere trigger. As per rule 603.6c: "An ability that triggers when a card is put into a certain zone “from anywhere” is never treated as a leaves-the-battlefield ability, even if an object is put into that zone from the battlefield." Which means that Sefris does not trigger. You can also look at rule 603.10 to see all triggers that do look back in time. Unfortunately Sefris' trigger is not one of them.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@lucazader The keyword "dies" means "enters the graveyard from the battlefield". This means "dies" is always an enters-the-graveyard effect anyway, never a leaves-the-battlefield effect. "Dies" triggers do fire if the creature with the trigger dies at the same time as the one it's watching -- they do "see each other" -- and so this does as well. It doesn't have to look "back in time", every dying card sees all the other cards hit the graveyard at the same time.

[@lucazader]

@@IceMetalPunk Yea. I agree it would trigger if it were to be a dies trigger. However if you look at the working on Sefris, you will not see "dies" anywhere on the card. As such it is not a dies trigger. Sefris reads: "Whenever one or more creature cards are put into your graveyard from anywhere". So therefore she will be in the graveyard before she sees any cards entering the graveyard, so therefore is already dead and will not trigger. It is a subtle difference between the trigger being a dies trigger and a put into your graveyard from anywhere trigger.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@lucazader But "dies" is literally shorthand for "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield". The difference between "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield" and "is put into your graveyard from anywhere" is only in the locations, the order in which things happen and see each other happen doesn't change between them.

[@Cinimodical]

One of my favorite episodes yet. Joe and Becca were great guests and very knowledgeable.

[@vivienbeam6741]

Wow! I came back for nostalgic purposes and I can't believe it! 500k! That's amazing and you deserve all of it!
