Game Knights Live Bloomburrow Bash w/ Amy Vorpahl & Olivia Gobert-Hicks | Gen Con | MTG Commander

[@veganpork7601]

jimmy's stage presence is underrated. that walk up to the stage was cold

[@Atmatan]

I swear I thought that music was Meshuggah or Tool at first.

[@kuningasputrik]

that slomo eye thing kills me XDD

[@Clutchtampa]

Yea i dont think that was Skulking onto the stage

[@ls-metro9362]

Hands down my favorite of the Command Zone

[@RG-wv3gt]

Trying to explain to someone that they should swing at the person with 50 cards rather than at everyone to be nice really does capture the feeling of commander sometimes

[@manwithabasicprofilepic]

The story held her back🤣

[@flobenzo4897]

Meanwhile the person with 50 cards saying “nonono I’m not the threat”

[@manwithabasicprofilepic]

@@flobenzo4897 "I can't believe you've done this."

[@Alternative-Works]

I can totally get behind playing for fun and all, but the fact there was a 5min conversation about who to swing at is telling

[@Alternative-Works]

@@flobenzo4897 Olivia used to do this A LOT, but she more or less stopped - possibly because of some "feedback". Surprised it came out here.

[@Atmatan]

Jimmy had THE grooviest jam to come in to. He's clearly the person having the most fun with every one of these costumes and entrances.

[@Atmatan]

Josh might be better at magic than you Jimmy (no offense) but we all know that you're the main character 😂 Your insight just needs to win out over ego and intention.

[@Xtaeus]

This was the highlight of my family's trip to GenCon. It was super amazing seeing it live, and meeting everyone was awesome. Thank you again for this event! Go Team Otter!!!

[@ericflaherty4668]

It would've been funny if everyone had started meowing when Jimmy asked for snail sounds. Because Gary is the only snail I've ever heard.

[@GoodMorningMagic]

This was so fun to help bring to GenCon and reveal Mystery Booster 2!! Thanks all for being there, and hope you enjoy the wild game. :D

[@luckyrichardson1677]

Got to get front row, under team raccoon. Definitely hope you guys can make it back out next year to Gen Con!! :)

[@Kazz1187]

Amazing times! Great production!

[@WordsWithFrentz]

Clearly the snail sound is “vroom-vroom”, so we can respond “look at that S-car go!”

[@davidhoar75]

LOL! Hell yeah, top tier comment 🤣

[@Atmatan]

I feel like Murphs introduction has become a bit of a meme, but for real: the fans do love this dude.

[@kissenger8454]

Shoutout to Olivia for running a spellslinger deck with no counter spells. Just burn and interaction super fun playstyle

[@weirdo82]

I like the sentiment, but counter spells are interaction?

[@kissenger8454]

@@weirdo82 true I meant more of an interaction that lets other people play their games as well. I really line Olivia’s playstyle because she has all the resources to make extremely powerful decks but generally chooses to play and build in a way that enables the other players to enjoy the game equally.

[@weirdo82]

@@kissenger8454 I mean, if someone uses a lock down combo that only a counterspell can stop, is it really "letting others play the game equally"?

[@kissenger8454]

@@weirdo82 that’s not the person who decided to not put counter spell in their deck’s decision. That’s on the person who made that deck. I like how Olivia builds decks. That’s all.

[@voltcorp]

48:18 "I don't have a poker face" as fans of Breaking News know very well 😂

[@coreywright33]

💯

[@xazz]

I love how fancy Gavin and Rachel look in their neat blazer and black dress and then all the players look like they crawled out of a dumpster /pos

[@AbstractFive]

Hey, now. Olivia worked hard on those! 😂

[@insainraven9875]

Don’t get me wrong I love a story in a game of commander, it’s why I play the game. But I am very happy how that game ended.

[@eliminator152]

This was absolutely the best part of my first gencon experience. Thank you so much for an amazing event, and i cant wait to revisit it now!

[@Borderscapeking]

This is why I added asceticism and both boots to bellos, and might even add tamiyo's safekeeping/other such effects: You straight up don't get to play the game if people have instant-speed removal. It's easily one of the biggest and most vulnerable glass cannons they've ever printed in precon form, but becomes really strong once you've added a couple vehicles, some enchantments and artifacts that stand a little better on their own, and of course, some protection!

[@macka20000]

Amy: “I don’t have a poker face” Anyone that’s seen her on Breaking News: “We know”

[@JohnTheWeebo]

Introduction writer: So Olivia how many Dad jokes should I put in your introduction? Olivia: Yes.

[@PatternBlue]

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get tickets, but thanks for stopping to say hi and take a picture after the con! Please come back to the midwest any time!

[@alexsmith8240]

It's so cool to see the live games expanding to more and more events!! Also that snail was the true mvp

[@darklotus1014]

This was my absolute favorite part of Gen Con! Hope to see it back next year!

[@PaladinLostHour]

I hate your writers so much. Olivia's intro broke me. That was like 70 otter puns in like six sentences.😂

[@weedragonauts4729]

we'll find an otter thing to pun about then

[@luckyrichardson1677]

It was such an awesome show and experience to see you guys play live! The free candied bacon was a huge plus as well. :) I hope to see you guys next year at Gen Con as well!

[@xXtheONEandONLYXx]

This game was just as exciting to watch on KZbin as it was in person (i was front row!)

[@ThisIsACommanderChannel]

Always a big fan of watching these live games.

[@thesuperfan99]

Gameplay @32:20

[@PedroOliveira-ew9eo]

Threat assessment is probably the most neglected part of commander. But honestly I`ve never seen someone so commited to losing the game as Amy hahahahahaha. Olivia with 20 mana on board and 50 cards in hand, not a threat. Jimmy witn an army e Olivia with open mana to cast cyclonic rift, let`s attack josh hahahahahahahaha. Obs.: Josh seemed so triggered (can we blame him???) with her misplays

[@heart2023]

OH Rachel just looks absolutely stunning as always!!! This was amazing to watch!

[@jonathon6498]

Props to Murph for his quick costume change at the start

[@stelliocantos4639]

What a game! Great stuff, thanks for putting it together, thanks for playing.

[@Jive.]

Under 1 hour gang hit the like button for Jimmy & Josh 👊🔥

[@lifestyle936]

Done. I also use card kingdom for all cards from all games. Very convenient. I got a raichu and legolas in the same pack as some Disney stuff for my daughter. If you get a chance check it out

[@Foxhoundzero80]

Was at Gen con indy but didn't get to see you I didn't know u were going until already sold out but I will make it into the next one for sure will be watching wizards announcement like a hawk... love what you guys do will continue to watch every video u make.

[@jonathanwilliams7161]

So glad Jimmy won! I was rooting for him and the raccoons! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

[@adamoneal5837]

2:08:12 the squirrel scouts! Emperor’s New Groove is one of the best movies, Jimmy!

[@ShadowFoxHQ]

Loved watching this!! Always get excited for new videos!

[@Cleansweep38]

Great Game! Thanks for Sharing! I was rooting for Olivia and her Otters!

[@thequestinghobbit]

thank you, Olivia, for showing how cool Alania can be

[@TMG2021]

Imma just say it..Josh rolling out with that staff representing Jack Nicholson's Joker from the *89* Batman...*chef kiss*

[@jhochges]

‘89?

[@DomLuQc]

I came to the comments to say this! That was just the best!

[@c4cheddarYT]

Amy is a vibe few have ever achieved; I'm so happy to see her here!

[@thumbwrestler12]

This was such a fantastic game to watch and such an explosive ending

[@rings-cn1yn]

OMG! I love Amy Vorpahl! Wow! What a cool surprise!

[@c1dv1c1ous]

Amy is the perfect raccoon player, watching the intro....her emotes are so good. Lol

[@MrKoolykdat]

So sad yo have missed this! Definitely saw Rachel and Murph walking around and thought I imagined them 😅 this was amazing and hope you all come next year l 🎉

[@olivierdebilde4292]

Such a mega fun game. I dig how Geraf is having the best day of his life in the snail costume 😂😂😂

[@ShadowsilOmega]

I was there, but didn't have tickets to get in. Saw the mystery booster 2 draft you guys were having, looked like a lot of fun! Wish I could have gotten a couple games in with you guys while there, but I guess there's always next year!

[@XxDarkSaint94xX]

Nice to finally see some live action gameplay with Alania. I think she is a truly underrated card. My favorite izzet commander right now. Surprised that Olivia just didn't outright win with 50+ cards in hand, maybe for content? Nonetheless, awesome.

[@croak8575]

Love love love these decks. Snagged a few cards from Amy's deck to solve some problems I've been having!

[@hanschristopherson8056]

Only olivia would pull out the “but I’m not doing anything” after drawing 50 cards

[@WayneyMTG]

Izzet Otters all the way, go on Olivia 💪🏼 so pleased you guys did a live show with bloomburrow!!!

[@sbrty]

This was such a fun event to attend. Team Otter 4 lyfe!!!

[@ThisIsACommanderChannel]

Oh snap! One of the decks is Bello!!! I'm working on a Bello deck, so I'm rooting for her to win!

@@JaySay not really a crazy take if you look under every video olivia is involved in but you do you, she aint fucking you bro

[@moedark4390]

Can anyone tell me why olivia drew 4 cards off frantic search 2:13:35 ?

[@lukedoesthings2732]

Don’t think it’s brought up in the stream but sacking the snail with wick actually is labeled as wick dealing the damage so it should count as commander damage unless I’m wrong

[@biggsg1934]

I'm still on the entrances, but they are delightful. Jimmy got the assignment.

[@seantheelite]

Rachel, you look stunning! Love the natural hair/Rogue look. Dress looks great. ❤

[@WthCnvctn]

lets goooo bloomburrow is awesome haha

[@dragonmaster1601]

i was so unaware they did a gklive at gencon but seeing it on my sub list in the words of jlk "its beautiful"

[@Tuturial464]

Josh should have been playing Maha. Considering his last game knights

[@JavierOrtizBultron]

Just checked and the Mystery Booster 2 is still available. Not sure if they had a very large amount in stock or the sales were not as they expected.

[@justinalexander3354]

Ive been playing magic for about 2 months and I got the mask trivia question 100% right. I said to myself 10 as a wild guess.

[@ingolf82]

Olivia's deck is Otterly delightful, I wonder if it causes Otter devastation too? let's see, on with the game! I do like that Gruul Trashformers deck Amy has though. I think I'm gonna go all vehicles and turn them into 4/4 robots myself.

[@Remlap_MTG]

Damn, Rachel looks stunning! 😍

[@TheUltimateRey]

🥵🤤👻😂😿

[@sweetpotato_7353]

Jimmy got good stage presence.. and first time he didn't miss a land drop in turn 4/5 in a while.. 😅😂

[@cstock56]

rachel weeks looks incredible in blue

[@THLombax]

I was thinking the same thing. She looked incredible in that dress!

[@letalisartis2084]

my favourite part was when olivia said its glarbin time and then they glarbed all over the place

[@PortgasDAce7407]

you guys definitely shouldve put the game on that screen behind you so the fans in the audience can see what yall are doing lol

[@gamemasteranthony2756]

(Josh comes out) HOLY CRAP!!! That song is a BOP!!! (Or would that be a hop?) EDIT: Seriously…someone make a custom map of this for DJ Max or some other rhythm game! (Amy comes out) Okay…I’m getting superhero vibes from that theme. She friends with Rocket? (Jimmy comes out) Round one…FIGHT!!! Seriously…that is a fighting game theme! Just stay away from either Felicia or Taokaka… (Olivia comes out) -_-;; Not liking the otter puns, but eh. So…that theme: Cruisin’ USA, anyone?

[@kennethandrews1111]

NGL, Rachael looks pretty good in a dress. 🥰😍❤️

[@HinekoAkahi]

"I have no poker-face!" said Amy, to the surprise of absolutely nobody who's ever seen her on Breaking News lol

[@syferpolski4344]

Something is wrong with this upload - it's blurry. The cards just aren't crisp at 1080p like they usually are

[@bennguyen4664]

Cause it’s a live event… that was recorded…😅

[@syferpolski4344]

@@bennguyen4664 Previous live events were sharp. And it also affects the big cards on the right which are added in post - no reason why pngs added in post should be blurry

[@jasonkorf7700]

I don't why, but Josh's entrance kinda fits the vibe of the Joker's entrance in the Gotham museum in the 1989 Batman movie. Then again, Amy's entrance is kinda like a superheroes.

[@ZombieLover4]

The last 2 games have ended in a rush what’s changed with the live shows 😂 wish they just had the time to play with no pressure aren’t they like the main event of these cons?

[@commandcast]

The venues that we are performing at are often staffed by people who are unionized and as such have strict "end times" to their work hours - as a result we cannot risk going past a certain time - Jimmy

[@AulaGeschrabbel]

​@@commandcast another option to get around this could be playing with a little faster paced decks. It feels like there's just so much value going around without dealing damage.

[@ZombieLover4]

@@commandcast oh no way that’s gutting but at least you’re being fair to the staff ❤️

[@pharmacistjudge]

Quick note. They thankfully did it right but when you copy a spell with gift, you do not get to pick a new person to gift for that spell. The same person must be gifted again.

[@AruhiTheGreat]

Keep in mind, Alania does not give spells gift though.

[@fozzy425]

Yeah Alania isnt explicitly gifting, she just says you may may let an opponent draw a card, and then if you do, copy that spell. Pretty sure that lets you allow different players to draw when double triggering the ability with veyran or harmonic prodigy. I think its like this because veyran just says trigger the ability again, its not being "copied". Youre right though, if a card like wear down got copied, you would have to gift the card to the same opponent both times.

[@moedark4390]

Can anyone tell me why olivia drew 4 cards off frantic search 2:13:35 ?

[@themantyf1116]

I see that Violet left her mark. Rats taking over commander once again.

[@ProjectLee101]

Petition to rename the cube of consequence to "die of consequence" for both naming convention and fun.

[@shawnmsattler2116]

some how, the con missed my info box and im in Indi. ill do better for next year.

[@kyletyree3530]

What is your spell slinger deck if you draw 50 and have so little impactful interaction??

[@maidenless_tarnished]

Rachel straight having some sick vocal fry scream at the beginning

[@Jay-yr9oi]

I feel like Jimmy could miss his land drops even running a 60 land deck

[@envoy2500]

I had a bright green playmat with a bunch of my friends' signatures on it until someone at an SCG event stole it and a Primeval Titan mat

[@randommindz6782]

58:03 - did we skip something?

[@janindrak6334]

Olivia best intro!!! :D

[@Adgnor1949]

Omg is amy bad at threat assessment? Trying to swing at everyone while Olivia had 50 cards in hand was annoying to watch.

[@rabidwhale]

Really disliked the whole weird relationship thing they were trying to pull off especially towards the end when they literally had to beg her to attack the threat.

[@Saiyanchris]

Wow Rachel! Looking gorgeous! 🌼

[@paytheonemtg]

This going to be fun 🤗

[@martinagerskov1679]

next time, the quality of the cards' text can't be just a little better but awsome show btw

[@shell1016]

Really wish they played music while they are playing. It’s uncomfortably awkward with no music.
