[@Zackeus1992]

Fevered Visions only hurts opponents. Big difference when Stephen reads his enchantment and stops hurting himself. 😂

[@kandjar]

Reading the card… explain the card… but only if u read it in the first place 😅

[@codychism3729]

See, he read the card correctly. Then John said you too and he agreed 😂

[@blueeyedenvy9715]

It was Suarez who told him tbh

[@magictcg]

Suarez gets another cheat count

[@fluffybunnyz285]

Joking isn’t cheating but Stephen just doesn’t care

[@VspishkaArm]

46:00 battle for okaun under planar chaos. Looking for Okaun's triggers. Miss them) still fun! Tnx

[@GravePacked]

Loved this episode! Y'all are still my favorite commander channel after all these years!

[@ryanflake3481]

This was fantastic, and I loved the personalized themes of each deck to the players, I only wish the director had come in afterwards and explained to them what the themes were and why it was chosen for them.

[@npumphrey7585]

I love this idea, hope to see more Justin picks in future.

[@CoreyBMTG]

Same! I said the same thing after we filmed this.

[@gjones9356]

I was with John in that game against the Yusri commander in Richmond 2 years ago. He had 5 pairs of dice, each in different colors, and on the first turn his commander triggered he threw all 10 and won 4/5 flips and we all freaked out

[@StetsonOwen]

more secret missions or whatever they're called please - that makes gameplay really fun. I love watching everyone trying to figure out the secret missions of other players.

[@couver2997]

Very fun episode. Director Justin did a great job with the decks!

[@sebastiana2035]

BRILLIANT game, wow! Really shows the chaos of commander: you can never expect anything

[@nickjoseph77]

Super fun episode! "Fair" Nekusar almost killed Stephen, making Jon play group hug is such sweet suffering, and seeing Corey play with chaos was a riot.

[@Gumupah]

That Akoum was a 96/96. Just found out that he triggers on all players winning flips last week. Cool game and really fun decks. Edit* probably mattered

[@ThatWhiteBread]

It's always a matter of "reading the card, explains the card" with these guys. But I love the chaotic energy every time haha

[@AnticlimacticPangolin]

Why did Steven try to stop Jon from killing Corey's commander at 47:07? With Kediss out they all die Life totals really mattered in this game wowwww

[@willb8745]

Director Justin made some great choices. Fun match to watch!

[@nickjoseph77]

Stephen does not take damage from his Fevered Visions. It's one of my favorite do nothing cards in commander and old fnm nights that usually led to my quick death.

[@JustinNeff-Everest]

Very fun episode! Would definitely love to see more of these!

[@Belena711]

This was a great one. I'd totally be down for more like this. :)

[@TheEclip6]

I really enjoyed the directors deck techs. hope to see more of him in the future

[@ghost64626]

Corey should have gained A LOT more than 24 life from John's swords. Okaun reads whenever ANY player wins a coin flip lol

[@SorcererTim45]

he would have gained 192 life

[@DrVashPsycho]

Triggers would be on the stack and resolve after the sword to plowshares so it would only get the one from the sword casting flip resulting in 48 life.

[@alexweil7296]

I feel you Jeremy on the tempt with discovery turn🤣

[@jaxoncole8132]

Bro, that was a wild game 😂 loved the ending

[@arendneyhouse8950]

Like the Sheldon episode of doing a player spotlight this was pretty cool. I would love to see each of the players get a feature spotlight as well. Maybe in a colosseum of randomness where one player submits 4-8 of their personal decks to choose from.

[@CardboardLord]

😂 great episode. Hope you do this next season.

[@Chooch1080]

I dig this format. Its kinds like the trick or treat format yall came up with for Halloween a few years back.

[@ThunderClaw_Macaw]

Most entertaining game of commander I've watched in a while, I love the chaos 😂

[@humphreywolfreallife]

That was a VERY good episode I greatly enjoyed it I saw some small mistakes but honestly? I've made them all myself so I can't judge, much love yall #teamGreen

[@joshmg5465]

Loved this y'all should do it again when u can a unique twist is always awesome!!

[@sandmanlives3]

Thank you. I like the director deciding. It was fun.

[@nickm3334]

I enjoyed this very much. The coin flip madness is Brilliant 👏

[@shawnminer4355]

I love how Stephen literally read fevered Visions out loud and they still got it wrong. So much for reading the card explains the card

[@RobotButlerJ]

Great decks!! I loved this idea!

[@matthewschoultz7652]

I love this Idea, please do it again

[@curtishewison7588]

Great episode would love to see a sequel

[@alucarddelta6576]

Director justin said i woke up and Chose violence xD

[@nathanielsyrcle3917]

Fevered Visions doesn’t hurt the owner of the card.

[@UntoldRellix]

I dont think it really matters for the game but a cool thing with tempt with discovery is that the other players get to see the first land you choose before they decide. Loving the games guys btw!

[@jjvh500]

Does it work like that the whole way around? Like the cast reveals a land, then the first opponent, then the caster, then the 2nd, and so on?

[@kylemartin7871]

​@jjvh500 no. First the caster gets one and puts it in play, then in turn order each opponent chooses to get one or not, and they enter at the same time, and then the caster can go get as many as there were opponents who chose to get one and those enter.

[@UntoldRellix]

@@kylemartin7871 exactly, and it can matter sometimes. Like if the caster grabs field of the dead as their first land for instance lol

[@jjvh500]

@kylemartin7871 Very cool! Thanks for the info. In my group, everyone always said no, so I never had to know how it worked 😅

[@kylemartin7871]

@jjvh500 I always like it when the person on my left casts it so I'm the last choice. Everyone says no: "I'll get a land, it's only 3 mana for two lands for him, it's not that bad" Everyone says yes: "I'll get a land, it's not like one more land will make a difference when you all are already giving him more"

[@Sugarbearhoney]

That was so much fun!

[@louissimonlefebvre8254]

That was a really fun concept!

[@BloodMoonGo]

Very fun idea, would like to see more episodes like this. Unfortunately Team Green received the busted commander, pretty unbalanced

[@deowag8136]

i absolutely LOVED this episode !!!!! Much like the Fan request episodes happen every season I think "Justin Time" epidoes should become a STAPLE of the seasons lol !!!!!

[@alanpulido3205]

What a great episode, ive been hating how they let jon win games was really funny to see him in this episode with that deck.

[@mickenziecruse9505]

I absolutely died at the herding cats comment.

[@skykur]

Yay john read my comment from last video I've got kids too brother, the sleep deprivation is real

[@bradikipper8485]

Legitimately my favorite episode yet. I was laughing hysterically throughout the episode.

[@devinparry2463]

I would love to see one of you guys play a kami of the cresent moon

[@kevinwilliams8042]

I was gonna submit my nekusar deck, for Steven, once I dialed in the last few cards.. Glad to see he ended up with a nekusar deck lol

[@bagebunyip965]

Need a chaos episode where everyone is playing the deck flip deck or a similar and same chaos deck

[@danteishere7792]

Love how Corey found his new favorite card, pure chaos

[@gianniniolu2218]

I never want to see planar chaos again, I’ve played against it and seeing it again just makes everything feel bad

[@LilSenwolf]

Once i heard nekuzar i was really hoping for 4 of them

[@TheDannen2k]

I loved this one 🙂

[@sean8486]

4 WUBRG DECKS! Waiting for that episode! It would be a banger!

[@peterharris5909]

Next time, if he’s up for it, you should get Former SCGCV All-Star, Justin Parnell

[@stefanstewart9079]

@corey Are you going to be at SCG con Sunday? I’m trying to get an autograph 🤓.

[@CoreyBMTG]

Yep! In the feature match area, come find me. :)

[@Crispy-McFister]

This was great!

[@revengedealer]

This was great.

[@Belena711]

If all your content was decks chosen like this or fan requests, I'd be stoked. 😂

[@steveandmandyvela1367]

i play nekusar its a beast of a commander and yes i play all the wheels lol

[@fluffybunnyz285]

If only Stephen’s deck had shadow spear or basilisk collar for nekusar to gain life when he pained everyone he would have been healthy and not almost dead at about an hour in

[@robertjohnston9924]

One of the best episodes I have ever seen

[@Doac64]

I always call my Nekusar deck Group Thug instead of Group Hug 😆

[@DelpersDaleh]

My first deck getting back in Magic was Nekusar, and plays exactly how the deck Stephen has, amazing to see it in action here!

[@rouxshoux]

fun episode.

[@c0barsm]

Fun game!

[@icedphat]

Stephen loves chasm skullker

[@AgonalRhythm]

Y'all should make the points for killing last place equal to how many weeks that player has been in last place or something 😅

[@mcsorcererpig477]

The person you choose with jailbreak chooses your card. Sweet game tho

[@heresyseed]

Just regular cat damage?… “I’m allergic but whatever “😅

[@seraphimchaos8124]

Okaun says whenever a player wins a flip, double it's power, doesn't it? So when it was swords, wouldn't Corey have gained a bunch more life?

[@michaelhurst5403]

Enjoyed

[@kandjar]

Honestly that was awesome, I had so much fun watching this episode!!! More please :-) 🙏

[@waynescully9083]

best episode

[@WaitIsThataHollowTip]

You filmed this in roanoke VA in the back room of that game store

[@HexproofButHopeless]

Kitten Mittens 😂😂😂😂😂 such a good episode

[@ChrispyChad]

Corey should have gained 192. Okaun says whenever A PLAYER wins a flip to double his power. Jon and Steven’s 3 total spells won flips prior to sword’s resolution.

[@CoreyBMTG]

DAMN! Hahah I would have been rolling in life. 😂😂😂

[@kylerogers7633]

Jon deserved this game for how much he put up with this week, this video was very fun overall, I hope there are more like this

[@blaketrzpuc9231]

In the flippy coin deck one frenetic egret from mirage. You can flip in response to flip over and over. It could be a same win

[@ElsePerson]

Man, the director really hates Jon lol

[@DarkPikachuYTV]

12:15 every one did this with my Onmath deck I won that game 😂

[@dustyfox6511]

John is incorrect on how the stack works with wheels and Nekusar, the Mindrazer. Nekusar, the Mindrazer would be generating all the triggers and thus his controller would get to choose the order of how the damage triggers resolve.

[@scoobg21]

They scared to give Jon a real deck lol.

[@arborclimb694]

Nice

[@Hutch_x]

Well the director made it painfully clear he does not like John…wtf was that! Three high power decks vs basically a budget bulk deck…

[@matthugenberg8869]

And again, another time where someone could have been saved, but the player just didn't. I really think it should be worth at least 2 points to save someone. Maybe even 3. It's just so bad to do for winning, so at just 1 point it is never worth it.

[@hannaganistic5148]

Woo..both of those bears are mighty fine! :)

[@michaelcarungi1842]

Another Commander Vs video, another game where Jeremy the least threatening player at the table is killed first.

[@Gunnarr123abc]

a lot of his damage is from leaving no blockers, while evetyone else had some , watching a lot commander vs lately and he does seem to leave himself open a lot just to deal a tiny amount damage

[@DETHofMAN]

Wouldn't be CMDR VS without misplaying Tempt With Discovery! LoL GG!!

[@keithfilibeck2390]

a fun episode, but not alot of "reading the card, to explain the card".

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

My god, this only seals it for me, I really want to build a coin flips Gavin 'you did this to yourselves' style deck. It seems so fun. Also you can play carefree, very little is your fault, you can blame bad luck on bad flips 😂

[@blightspeaker26]

I wish the Director would direct people to re-read their cards when they get it wrong. As a Nekusar player I am disappointed by the fevered visions misplay.

[@Mrbuzzfuzz]

I sent decks for all 4 that I would love them to fight each other with :)

[@Chpow01]

I mean, Nekusaur is really easy to keep around because you literally just give everyone (baseline) a phyrexian arena. Looking for ward to the episode.

[@adri2703]

Says no one. Nekusar better be off the table the sooner the better

[@Chpow01]

@@adri2703 Unless the nekusaur player has wheels at hand, or everyone has a ton of card draw he does not really do much. He can be killed in response to the wheel and the major issue is the cards in the deck that work well with Nekusaur, Underworld Dreams style effects (as we saw with Nekusaur only being cast once)

[@MrPinkpanzer]

Choas, group hug, and intentionally handicapping one player. Boy this episode wasn't for me. I hope someone else enjoyed it.

[@atomskpk997]

As a mtg card aficionado, i would love to be a judge on the show to correct plays and save the crew from youtube comments. 😅 the fevered visions damage mr green was taking was hurting me so personally as a spiteful evil grixis mage myself.

[@tylerjordan7443]

Glunch is one of my favorite decks. I play it very friendly but I do think it still falls into political control because I'm nice and give out goodies and all that but you play something down right mean or shuts a player out of the game I will probably remove it. I never play for first but sometimes it happens that I just have the ability to make glunch huge and kill with commander damage

[@jeffe2267]

"I never play for first " rofl what a miserable deck

[@tylerjordan7443]

@@jeffe2267 for me its a social game. I dont care to win or lose, if you think it sounds miserable its not for you.

[@kerryweaver864]

pauper commander deck

[@jeffe2267]

You really didn't need to give Jon such a terrible deck.

[@jacobb5564]

He should have gain way more life off the swords. There was 2 more coin flips. Should have been 96 life
