Friday Nights: A Fine Rotisserie

[@castlewise]

The "coverage" of Alex's Kitchen Table Magic was pretty amazing.

[@PewPew_McPewster]

PT Pewpew's Kitchen is a celebrated event amongst all my friends even till today.

[@LokNWykLeer]

"Khans of Tarkir block pauper rotisserie draft." "Cam, it's happening. He's just saying random words now."

[@PewPew_McPewster]

Ryan Barham r/cursed comments

[@charleslegreatthegarbagemo7202]

Jesus, Guilds of ravnica existed back then, just call them by guild names.

[@RhysticStudies]

Cam's Bblue Bblack SAW "Would You Like to Play a Game?" *Bulwark!* deck OP.

[@levijawilson]

Ha, the overlay text for Alex's Kitchen Pro Tour is great.

[@esper4605]

Cam has "Dimiralized" the format.

[@jonahmatso1920]

0:40 the chair is from sweden because Ikea lol.

[@swolegolisopod7340]

i was just about to post this xd

[@Snes_Controller]

@3:19 Cam is trying extremely hard not to laugh.

[@iluvatardis8804]

In the finals of the roto draft, there was a common that could have killed Cam: Lightning Shrieker. It swings for 5, then gets shuffled back in, ensuring a steady stream of lava axes.

[@blastinburn]

Cam still had his bulwark, are there any 5 power common creatures that can block flying?

[@yellowmaster52]

​@@blastinburn wouldn't need 5 power if he had sultai runemark

[@Peeja]

Sometimes I think I play Magic just to get Friday Nights.

[@Barbwireamulet777]

Same...

[@IHAZC00KIEZ]

"Is snake drafting in any way similar to hydra drafting?" Nice throwback to the Nespian Asp joke from that episode ages ago!

[@loadingreadyrun]

I love it when people notice our jokes like this :)

[@Halloweensmasher]

loadingreadyrun "Strictly Accurate Taxonomy the Gathering"

[@Viciousswarm88]

Strictly accurate taxonomy ONLY the gathering.

[@josephbenson6957]

QuliQ better call back in amoncats

[@gamingwildlife]

I hate to be that guy, but I'm going to be that guy for a moment. If Cam's strategy was to "mill to 6" so he's ahead of his opponent, then durdle out, why did he play "contradict" when it gives him a card draw? That puts him ahead of Paul.

[@OddOddFred]

Gaming Wildlife The opponent may have had draw spells as well....

[@Marcination]

Gaming Wildlife You could say that this really "contradicts" with what Cam had planned....

[@ZyroAGM]

Gaming Wildlife Maybe Cam... "accidentally" forgot to draw..

[@thehollowedeye]

Borzi That was a bit of a "Tragic slip" there

[@thebirdwizard5947]

Gaming Wildlife actually cam would of had to of gone first so paul draws first and cam would be 2 cards behind

[@AutoRestore1]

Totally died with Alex's Kitchen Pro Tour and commentary from the Basement Booth

[@MichaelGrandGaming]

"The correct answer was five." I'm seriously having too much fun with these videos this morning :D

[@SoulofMusic666]

Oh if I didnt think he would brutally murder me in some untraceable way after I did it, I would totally hug Cam for being the consistent Blue Asshole. Thanks for representing us Cam

[@thetubaman66]

Couldn't Paul have won if his final card was a Lightning Shrieker? He just keeps bashing in for 5 and putting the shrieker back into his library

[@mowdownjoe]

Who runs Lightning Shrieker?

[@pedrocano3210]

thetubaman66 Exactly what i was thinking, i feel like they missed a big opportunity to make the card playable.

[@Okiesmokie]

mowdownjoe Someone who wants to win against a Bllack deck.

[@LyIaKing]

Okiesmokie Or a Bllue one.

[@Raelieous]

thetubaman66 He also had big butt creatures to block with, likely with flying. Or removal for the Shrieker. :P

[@raisins7777]

Whisk Away, Lightning Shrieker, Gravepurge. Three common Tarkir block cards that kill Cam. Two of them are in Paul's colors and one of them is even a decent card.

[@dgoogleplex]

After watching this many times over the years, I only noticed now that Cam is reading In the Dust of this Planet. Excellent book and very Cam.

[@ИгорьСеминога]

Gonna try reading that one. Cam is always the star of the show. But I was trying to find anyone who got the joke about James making Gram lose with a worse deck that he made

[@TheTexasDice]

I laughed so hard at the alex pro-tour. The flag of sweden is a nice touch, very good.

[@shaden489]

so out of my inability to sleep I watched this at 2am and only now just noticed that they had a charging badger for no reason at 5:00

[@tomneilson9501]

Theres also bump in the nights hidden in the panning shots

[@Momoryuto]

Why don't we simply call an aggro deck that is mainly red while splashing a color "Stacey"? Then we can be done with it? When there is a deck that makes everything unfun with the powers of dimir, we'll call it "Kathleen and Cameron's Super Happy Fun Fun Time!"

[@gamingwildlife]

Jake Everfree So... Spike and Johnny?

[@Momoryuto]

Gaming Wildlife Not at all. Johnnys like to combo and use cards no one else wishes to use. While Spike Netdecks, uses the best cards, and enjoys winning. These two are names of profiles of what magic players tend to be. "Stacey" and "Kathleen and Cameron's Super Happy Fun Fun Time!" are names of decks, the former being red aggro with a splash and the latter being something like U/B control. So the difference is what they are nicknames of, a person or a type of deck.

[@SirLimeyone]

Jake Everfree How about we call monored splashing green a strawberry for the colour ratio.

[@Momoryuto]

Justin Case what about monored splashing u/b/w? We would have to make up names for those! It'd be weird if the names were not fruit themed! Or at least food themed!

[@SirLimeyone]

Jake Everfree You are of course right. I just like the idea of dumb naming conventions and saying that I wrecked house with my strawberry. It can be fun to come up with silly names for stuff after all.

[@stezzy3824]

3:25 Incredible that Alex was able to predict green devotion running Leyline of the Guildpact with five color green

[@chronoloco2032]

New Friday nights? Disregard schoolwork, acquire laughs!

[@ExhaustedElox]

It's official; Cam is a monster.

[@bengraham4603]

I loved when cam says I'll get the stick and by the way Kathleen looks good in that outfit.

[@trentmurray7680]

This series is consistently amazing. I fall in and out of magic frequently, and Friday Nights is always the thing that forces me back into the card shop for more

[@WillDrumForChocolate]

@5:04 Wait a second... between that Territorial Roc and the Atarka Efreet... that's Bump in the Night! LRR, you sneaky devils, don't think we wouldn't notice you cameoing your favorite common in this pauper format!

[@omega696]

I'll get the Stick.....

[@aiboy2073]

No you won't. *Snaps stick in half* LIVE ON ALEX LIVE ON!

[@sorual4604]

LMFAO!!!! that rolling text in pro tour alex's kitchen! XD

[@merlotmage]

Why is there a Bump in the Night in a KTK pauper draft?

[@MrJones-fq9rx]

Heather Taylor Because inside joke with LRR fans.

[@Xippih]

Heather Taylor The question is why WOULDN'T there be a bump in the Night in a KTK pauper draft?

[@joevonpoison834]

Heather Taylor KtK block pauper which tries to add m15 which has bump

[@MrLuBuFu]

Heather Taylor Bump in the Night is an LRR joke. They were gifted a ton on their stream so they tried to hide it as a easter egg.

[@hammdogporkington3058]

Heather Taylor There's also a Charging Badger in there.

[@braddalrymple8615]

Might be one of the best Friday night's ever. Felt like... Organic humour? 100mile jest? Anyway keep up the great work!

[@noisepollution4473]

Brad Dalrymple I definitely agree, this was a particularly good episode.

[@Tomwithnonumbers]

Please for one MTGO draft can you try to make "mulligan to 6" mill a thing? Please =D

[@sylverfyre]

Thomas L I hope you're lost in the woods.

[@t1glistenerelf]

Thomas L Step 1: Cast Howling Mine or Dictate of Kruphix (such that your opponent draws first) Step 2: Pull a Cameron and sit behind that beautiful, beautiful shield. Step 3: ?????? Step 4: PROFIT!

[@t1glistenerelf]

***** Bingo-bongo! I love watching the realization dawn on their faces.

[@t1glistenerelf]

I played a mill deck with my Modern Dredge deck, and it could really go both ways. He's hastening his doom...unless he just happens to win the race at the last second.

[@Terrat1na]

***** Do you have a list, perchance? =)

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Rotisserie draft is actually a great way to stay budget with your drafts...awesome!

[@lucyspencer9752]

I've adapted Cam's philosophy and over the past few years I've been playing very grindy/unfun for my opponent decks. I've been playing for nearly 15 years now and the longer you play Magic the more you play blue.

[@arbitermaster]

I'll get the stick. Just the way he says it cracks me up each time. WE LOVE YOU CAM

[@noisepollution4473]

Pro Tour Alex's Kitchen had me in tears. This is great.

[@noisepollution4473]

Noise Pollution Additional comment on that: Marshall and BDM's comedic timing was absolutely spot-on during that scene. Seriously great job with this episode to everyone involved.

[@jamesbreidenbach5866]

Cam's plan to mill his opponent out wouldn't work, as he uses Contradict, which draws him a card, as seen at 7:56.

[@Gdude1231]

Shhh no he didn't. What's contradict? I've never heard of a card like that.

[@jamesbreidenbach5866]

And another thing I don't get: Why didn't he just use a 41 card deck, so he doesn't have to mulligan?

[@HydrateOrElse]

+James Breidenbach You monster

[@jamesbreidenbach5866]

+That One Guy I use to know you, man.

[@HydrateOrElse]

+James Breidenbach I've never even met you before! *said in Marshall's buttery voice*

[@deathangel02100]

Can we appreciate that Kathleen's outfit is on point in this episode?

[@Tronha2]

I love the little hint to the Swedish Ikea Chair in ProTour Alex's Kitchen

[@Reach_W]

Excuse me, but Become Immense is clearly a Red card with the text "Delve. If you control target unblocked creature, deal 6 damage to target opponent." It having green mana in its cost has nothing to do with it.

[@jakobkhan-springer2571]

sharpy748 No, it's R for "Target unblocked creature you control deals 6 damage to target player"

[@wavingatfat9650]

A guy at my LGS built 5-Color Mono Green Bant... Yup. He had Mono Green, splashed white and blue, and had all 5 mana colours in his lands for the converge on Woodland Wanderer...

[@nicolasclark3604]

I played five-colored Dragons. But it was really Dimir splash the other colors for Dragons and Bring to Light. But also splash Red and Green for Sarkhan Unbroken and Bring To Light. Then splash white for Utter End in the sideboard. It was fun.

[@shay4232]

For the Mono Red Conversation. Use the lands. Technically my deck is selesnya with a splash of red for blood moon. all my lands can tap for green and white while 2 can tap for red

[@GG-dt5hh]

'If you know anyone within walking distance of Alex's kitchen, please send help.'

[@DJCHiLLSpeaks]

In a sense, Mono-X with more than one color has been done before. New Phyrexia introduced Phyrexian mana, allowing splashing a second color with still one type of basic land.

[@jcthorpe69]

Might be best episode yet. I loved the Mono-Red argument. Classic.

[@chrislijoi9997]

"I'll get the stick:" Cameron, 2015.

[@DragonstoneWolfe]

I still quote the "Would you like to play a game?" "Great! :D" to this day.

[@aiboy2073]

*panicked breathing* So, many, COUNTERSPELLS!!!! *Runs and hides in a corner*

[@mtgrapp8482]

This video is terrific. Well done as always LRR.

[@lucasbowers58]

‘I’ll get the stick’, gets me every time

[@lucasbowers58]

It’s so rare that a geeky webshow is actually funny, but these guys manage it

[@jacobhaubjergmadsen891]

Absolutely amazing as usual. Please tell me you actually did a KTK block pauper rotisseri draft? i mean, you already had the cards!

[@barnuhbee7]

"i go to 14" is the funniest line ever dude

[@ROCKYNITRO]

Awesome! Wish they would make more FNM like one every week. Thank you #LRR #magicthegathering #twitter

[@saffy202]

That "Excuse Me" kills me!! XD

[@gubblebumz]

“Cancel....and Disdainful Stroke.” “......” “James...it’s your pick.” THAT LINE IS SO FUNNY

[@OptikRvB]

Did Cameron just pull a seinfeld "What's the deal with airline food?"

[@Bleesotron]

I have a Five-Color Green EDH deck, with Reaper King. The mana base is Forests, and almost all the cards are hybrid green and something else.

[@jakemamula8067]

"What's the deal with green!?"

[@florianw116]

Well "Atarka Red" as it turned out to be called, is also pretty confusing. That makes me think "red cards with the Atarka watermark or ferocious mechanic".

[@burnedelite765]

After watching the lrr ikoria rotisserie draft this showed up in my recommended. Time for a rewatch!

[@swagmasterdoritos]

i don't even know how to play magic but i love watching these anyway XXXD

[@cam2307]

"Cancel and Disdainful Stroke." *All glare at Cam* "James, it's your pick."

[@Slapfight12]

MARSHAL AND BDM KILLED ME JUST NOW OMG DYING

[@sofieselnes477]

Ooh, it's a close call between Kathleen and Cameron on the "Most Playable Friday Nights Character Card" contest this episode! Kathleen is more of a build-around but I think she has higher overall power level, whereas Cameron is great if you're quite far behind but not so good otherwise (unless you want to trade your possessions up with your opponent =D )

[@pontus3433]

Best Friday Nights in a while. Why? There is a charging badger at 5:00

[@antti3779]

"Sure, what's the deal with green!" my motto

[@somethingironic2227]

Cam with the Zerobooks product placement! WOOOOOO

[@HiCallMeRusty]

Okay, I’ve seen this video tons of times over my Friday Nights rewatches, but I’ve never noticed the Charging Badger at 5:02 and am now looking for more easter eggs.

[@DarkTenka]

I'll never forget the meta defining deck "Walnut Stain".

[@lucyarisato6850]

Just reminded of “Jund ‘Em Out” being declared a philosophy by Alex later. Good ol’ Wet Jund.

[@depiggyslayer6472]

WHY CANT YOU MAKE MORE OF THESE!?!? there so much fun to watch. can you please make one every weekend or 2 weekends

[@benxu7343]

is the card that james held during the beginning of the essay even in standard? and if he's running contradict, wouldn't he need to mulligan to five?

[@dragonbretheren]

I JUST realized that their cards in the opening titles have been changing every episode. How long has that been happening?

[@lolM88]

The real question is, do you run Skred in a Gred deck?

[@zsdCKanVOIJANSO]

Is it still mono red if it has artifacts? :p

[@Mindfire13]

As long as the artifacts don't cost or have any abilities that cost a color other than red ( lens of clarity could be played in mono red but Godsend couldn't due to it costing white to play)

[@BepisJones]

Solace Snipe Ared? Grred... but grey instead of green? Bred?... mmm bread...

[@VexWerewolf]

Solace Snipe If colourless mana made a deck non-mono, then the only truly mono decks would be cards that only had symbols in their costs.

[@2ManyWayz2Kill]

Solace Snipe mono-bred

[@chargingbadger3164]

+Andreus so basically burn

[@zinatra9420]

at 5:16 that simple Bump in the Night hiding on the bottom lol

[@mattmelillo8265]

James, why did you have a latchkey faeries in your standard deck? Nitpick!

[@asmadithedire4357]

Why was there a bump in the night in a ktk draft?

[@nerdaccount]

This should not fill me with such happiness. Someone get the stick!

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

Makes sense that Graham drafts a 5-color deck. Just look at his shirt!

[@elconnerre9470]

"Just because a deck plays cards that aren't red doesn't mean it's not mono red!" That is not incorrect. In fact, it is 100% true. Lands are colorless. :D

[@Thyeggman]

I'm dying, that was so great!

[@tavitalvensaari6355]

5:18 - Why is there a Bump in the Night on the table? That's from Innistrad

[@wmcduff]

I know that you were busy filming, so you wouldn't have run the draft at that point, but did you try the format out among yourselves before or after, just to see how Khans Block Pauper Rotisserie would go?

[@FosterWalsh]

i decided to do a draft like this after watching this episode, and its some of the most fun ive had in this game yet

[@Soccerninjaswagger]

4:19 "oh ok" Alex kills me sometimes

[@Myrdin90]

Im playing BlrGr at the next FNM, or Temur as it's less commonly known ^^

[@spacelegos4964]

Idk if that was an intentional Hellsing Abridged reference or not... But I noticed it either way

[@SladeThirteen]

that 'Wat' at 7:12 gets me every time. XD

[@pedestrianme]

Best one yet!

[@Gdude1231]

I agree with Alex. Being a red aficionado myself, since it was only a small splash, and it had the spirit of mono red, it is a mono red deck.

[@MrMajorChris]

no

[@Gdude1231]

+Christian Madrigal Yes. Always yes.

[@TomGalonska]

Why not call it: Atarka red... Mono red is mono red, that means: no other colours.

[@Gdude1231]

***** But Atarka red means it involves green. Which means it's not mono red.

[@TomGalonska]

Grant Duvall that's what i was trying to say. Atarka red =!= mono red! I quote you: "it was only a small splash,[so] it is a mono red deck." No, it's not. The deck, alex was referring to, was atarka-red.

[@frankthomas5007]

Did not know bump in the night was in khans block.... at 5:16. nice one.

[@lordgollum3700]

I love Alex's kitchen protour, huh I think that would be a thing.

[@StarkMaximum]

James says there's 272 commons in Khans block, but I've done a search and I'm seeing 259. Why is there a 13 number difference?

[@scryptogram5686]

this is a video thats just over 7 years old so i know no one is watching this however i would just like to note the book at 0:16 that cameron is reading because that is a book i have read and is the first time i have seen someone read something published by zer0 books outside of weird philosophy twitter

[@KaelBanner]

I just noticed bump in the night in the rotisserie O.O

[@NStripleseven]

I think it would make more sense to say “red gruul” for a technically gruul deck that’s mostly red. (Or a red deck that splashes green)

[@snip3r196]

Red with a green splash....Frog in a blender bringing it back

[@amosbirb2616]

It could be “Bluck” or “Blae” for U/B
