Friday Nights: Clanmanders

[@Woodthorn]

Cam's Narset is still probably one of the best thing ever.

[@PioSpike2000]

+Woodthorn I died

[@koshi6505]

+Woodthorn I never expected this, but I welcome it.

[@anstytroll11]

i agree 😂

[@swolegolisopod7340]

Woodthorn narset, enlightened cowboy

[@isaackopstein3367]

literally came back to this video trying to remember the idea and hoping that no one else caught on. Now realizing this is the top comment.

[@printedpastagames]

'And then you Grapeshot for 200' - Narset. Put that on a t-shirt yesterday.

[@prn_Melatonin]

+Sal La Volpe "So you cast Omniscience and Enter the infinite and then you cast your entire library twice with Past in flames and then YOU GRAPESHOT FOR 200"

[@MrAgentIncognito]

+Sal La Volpe Why am I not running Narset?

[@samsparkman]

+MrAgentIncognito Because you value your friendships?

[@Hawk_of_Battle]

+Sam Sparkman Funny, I've JUST built a creatureless Narset. It's still a work in progress so it doesn't quite have all the cards I need to grapeshot for 200, but it can take an endless number of turns, perfectly fix draws with brainstorm, senseis, dream cache and a nice little card called proteus staff, whilst also ticking up half a dozen free planeswalkers and also make tokens/a ridiculously beefy unblockable, pro-all colours un-sacrificable commander. Will be testing it this weekend. After which I will probably have no more friends!

[@maelstrom197]

How did it go? Do you have a decklist?

[@EvanFarshadow]

"What if my opponent casts Grizzly Fate with Threshold and then flashes back in the same turn for EIGHT BEARS!?" The foreshadowing of Graham's Bear Force One on Commander Knights though xD

[@jakubburian8874]

Too bad Jimmy didn't play Surrak in that episode, he wouldn't have died to the bear force

[@RhysticStudies]

Alex talking to his cards, and suddenly I don't feel alone in my absurdity.

[@progste]

help me, Bolas is forcing me to play him HELP!

[@melakiesimrak2758]

progste Well, Liliana told me to run a modern 8 Rack deck, of course I listened.

[@jaxmanf]

Melakie Simrak Damn you think you got it bad? I'm playing Pox in Legacy!

[@melakiesimrak2758]

Jax Friedman Did Liliana tell you to do it? Because she tried to tell me to do that first. Well, we compromised and now I run 8 rack.

[@jaxmanf]

Melakie Simrak Yeah I listened. Well, at least Hymn to Tourach is good...

[@Yojonbo]

ALL EVERY BEAR STRAIGHT PUNCHED

[@simplythebest6052]

[@tenebrix8490]

I not understand

[@SamanthaVess]

5:45 I saw that subtle hand wave, Paul. You can't hide your force-using secrets any longer!

[@drizzleandpour7819]

holy shit that's an amazing observation

[@paultuck]

Cam as Narset was fantastic! Graham's Surrek was great and needs to be on a T-shirt.

[@YouremadbigL]

Double bear? Double punch!

[@seancollier2116]

Frank A All every bear straight punched

[@PaulGaither]

I love this episode. It might be my favorite. "Me punch all the bears." Also, i love the one where Alex helps Paul build his white deck by suggesting he make it a blue black deck. "Why are you running all these plains in a blue black deck? That's a rookie mistake."

[@DarkTenka]

+Paul Gaither "All every bear - straight punched!"

[@PaulGaither]

Dark Tenka I wanted some reference in Temple of the Lava Bears.

[@Marin3Arch3r]

My favorite part about the surrak bear punching was last night I played a commander game using surrak, and as I swung I kept saying surrak punch bear

[@danielknott9052]

All every bear straight punched.

[@joewinter4040]

when he doesn't recognize 3/3s as a thing. he should have yelled 1.5 PUNCHED

[@SphereofEmotion]

Little did they know, that at 6:06 a prophecy was made, only to come true years later.

[@robbiestrong-morse730]

I know, I broke out laughing when I heard that.

[@JesusMyLordAmen]

Bear Force One has been born here

[@nik700]

@@JesusMyLordAmen Bear Force One is almost as old as Friday Nights

[@dillon2130]

If you mean Graham's Goreclaw deck, Graham liking bears is a running Joke, he early on made an entire deck of 2/2's for 2. He talks about bears again in GOP bound, and in Core Value Kathleen says: Dont tell Graham But Goreclaws looks pretty sweet. Theres a few rubbing jokes, this also established Cam's Running "Don't call me your friend!!!"

[@notme222]

Graham could throw a Robe of Mirrors in that deck. Make himself a Djinn and Tunic.

[@sdfkjgh]

@notme222: I hate you so much right now! Shut up and take my like.

[@esper4605]

"And then you Grapeshot for 200" I'm fucking dying.

[@blackblood9095]

Well, I did once legally get grapeshotted 35 times on turn 5, along with two other players, who also got 35X grapeshotted too!

[@filetXoXghoti]

According to the Planeswalker's Guide, "Surrak rarely speaks to his people, but when he does, he is pragmatic and harsh." So basically, you guys nailed it.

[@filetXoXghoti]

"Ah yes, Double Bear... Double Punched!!"

[@LeeVai666]

surrak only friends are bears, which means surrak punch all friends.

[@RevyReborn]

LeeVai666 Surrak tragic figure...

[@SomChefen]

Just had a (commander) game where I played Surrak and one of the others started talking about how cool he thought the temur lore was with them being friends of bears and all that. So I literally took up my Surrak and pointed to him and said "DOES HE LOOK LIKE HE IS FRIENDS WITH THAT BEAR!?" to witch my friend replied "What bear..?" and I said "The one that he wears like a cape?" and he went "Oooh...". We all had a good laugh out of it :)

[@progste]

Daban lore from the articles: Surrak fought that bear when he was young, that's the "bear punching" scene, but he didn't kill it, just drove it away. Several years later, Surrak and other temur warriors got into a fight against some sultai necromancers that invaded their territory, they had almost been defeated by the zombie of their own warriors brought to life by the necromancers when the bear came in his aid and together they defeted the sultai, but the bear died after the battle from the poison on sultai blades. After that Surrak was nominated as khan and the shamans made his cape and gauntlets for him to "become one with the bear, protector of the clan". here: magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/ur/awakening-bear-2014-09-17

[@jmcalcy69]

Years later, this video is still amazing. Just saw the crew at a MagicCon, what great folks.

[@gamingwildlife]

This episode may as well be called "here's what you SHOULD be running in your commander decks." Noted, LRR. Saved for later brewing.

[@regirex4418]

Ad what you shouldn’t run in vintage

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Surrak punch many bears. Like, all the bears. See that bear? Punched. Me don’t think you understand Surrak here. All every bear straight punched. XD

[@MahBoi100]

Cam's Narset voice is the best thing I've heard in a long time. I congratulate you on giving me a mild stroke with your wacky hilarity. Good content as always! ^_^b

[@balfanghellfire]

Love the voice for Narset.

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

+Sota Steelwing My friends and I now call her "Narset, Enlightened Southerner."

[@7mean7bunny7]

Cam's Narset part was the fucking best. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. This was the funniest episode in a long time.

[@moohawkofdrknss]

Love this one. Between Alex talking to the cards, Surak and Djinn & Juice what more could we ask for? Everyone was great in this. GREAT.

[@johngoff3426]

"I'm gonna list ways to filter your top deck that're legal in commander, and you stop me when you've had enough."

[@BeholdTruthsSecretTV]

Casting your whole deck twice than grapeshotting for 200? Sounds like my kind of deck.

[@Sheriff_K]

Sounds like everyone's kind of Deck. :P

[@Halloweensmasher]

Yes, and people like you are why I have to run Mindbreak Trap. To crush your dreams.

I love how Graham is the only one who gets to be a Planeswalker

[@bryophytamantodea7254]

This episode was legitimately entertaining.

[@TheMagFenix]

if you want Cam's Narset voice to be even funnier, read the sharkan/narset meetup story with that voice for all of her lines.

[@Yuting9]

Alex predicted the grizzly fate!

[@tianhaowang8519]

[@GreenMonkeySam]

That intro Graham Planeswalker card is BAH-ROH-KEN. Ultimate ability is straight over-powered.

[@dillpickle694]

Alex predicted how Graham’s bear force one deck would win him the game.

[@Chewy2754]

That may have been the funniest one you folks have ever made. Great job.

[@Moonwizard420]

Can we get a "All every bear straight punched." shirt???

[@ValanceJ]

This is by far my favorite opening for a Friday Nights!

[@riddlemaker7547]

The interesting thing is that in the next episode, Jeskai Mysteries, we see Alex playing a Surrak Commander deck against Kathleen.

[@Mechsrule1]

Here I am in 2022, with a deck for every khan color, but only one khan: Zurgo, in a deck full of group slug, board wipes, and indestructible creatures.

[@alexanderstorm6062]

Finally a new "Friday Nights". I love this series...

[@Momoryuto]

So, is there going to be a commander game episode with all these khans? Cause I really can't wait for that episode. also, Alex and Anafenza will probably make up or something.

[@DatBrasss]

Turns out... no.

[@grumpygoosegg3514]

id completely forgotten that Cam did that voice for Narset and I can't not imagine Narset as a gravely, done-with-your-crap monk who's seen too much. Especially with the way that timeline ends.

[@ValEthrien]

Cam is just perfect in so many of these. He makes me want to counter spells, and I hate counterspells.

[@SmellyJelly4MyBelly]

"I don't know what that means." "You'll find out." Yeah, that's just about your typical dredge match. So grateful that that deck exists. So hilarious.

[@bigmack133]

Besides the suns and stars, theres never been a fire in space, Thanks Paul.(Mission: Accomplished ,,‘Without even trying' )

[@mrapplegate4065]

All of the characters are getting better fleshed out. I can see each of their unique quirks and personalities here; which is good, because before this episode I thought the show was basically 5 Sheldons with a Magic: the Gathering coat of paint.

[@hammdogporkington3058]

The main difference between Friday Nights and Big Bang Theory is that Friday Nights is actually funny.

[@kalumh-day6065]

Big Bang theory is a top rated comedy has run for 9 seasons and is top viewed every week on the other hand while Friday night is funny it relies on dry humour and the viewers ability to infer. Information

[@MurraySoles]

Graham's Surrak needs t-shirts!

[@LeafsFanNWT]

There definitely needs to be a new episode like once a week. Love it lol

[@IanWorris]

Oh, Alex, you always play Abzan (by the way, Cam forgot the easiest way to avoid milling creature spells: not playing any of them. Red-withe, I believe there are many ways to get an army of tokens on the table anyway).

[@tristanmitchell1242]

Red-White-Blue. Not just soldiers, but goblins, warriors, and squid as well. Maybe play a few creatures just for a bit of scrying?

[@Nr4747]

Tristan Mitchell Just play some token making instants/sorceries + Zoetic Cavern + Proteus Staff. Stack your entire library and then attack with Narset. You're welcome.

[@TankP0wnz]
