The info-blurbs were a fantastic addition to the episode. I would adore if they came back on the regular or even if it became a reoccuring rarity.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

We are having internal discussions about using them (sparingly) as an ongoing part of normal episodes. Certainly better than the green screen method of acknowledging misplays.

They have a very “pop-up video” feel. I dig it.

I liked the ones that didn’t pertain to the game, like the tidbits about Julius Caesar or dramatic irony

[@chummer2060]

I see why the episode was scrapped originally, but it ended up being a really fun watch. Realistically, this is how a lot of commander games go. Jesse is always a pleasure. I love her sense of humor.

This might just be my favorite episode of magic gameplay. The editor struggling to keep Jesse's commander centered, the info bubbles, and general vibe of this episode are top notch.

Cap, this episode felt so dead... normally they are a lot more alive and talkative (by making jokes). Maybe its the odd combination of people for the first time that equates to such a dry show or its that "contract" that needed to be signed due to Jesse. I truly believe that you're lying.

[@yehoshuathompson]

@@TeamToooBananas or we can agree to disagree. People can like different things

[@sundalius]

@@TeamToooBananasseems to me that there’s a lot less dead air edited out in this so the “pace” is a bit slower - makes it feel less high energy. Also lots of fiddly decks on top of that.

[@ClanCrusher]

So Michael was playing a Day-Night deck with about a million different graveyard triggers and Jesse was playing a storm focused deck where every spell played triggers a million different things. I'd be more amazed if things DIDN'T go wrong. I can't really be too critical though. There was a lot going on, especially in those final turns. Jesse in particular was looking like she was getting self conscious about how long her turn was taking which coaxed her to rush, and the best way to misplay an open-ended combo and/or storm deck is to rush.

[@jesserobkin]

Wow, a new shuffle up and play episode! I can't wait to see everyone play very well and not make any mistakes :-)

[@jamescampbell2353]

[@ohne_unterstrich]

give the editor a raise! the first episode of shuffle up and misplay was brilliant

[@yoda9240]

Prof saving Jesse's board and then immediately dying to it is quite sad. Though it would be sadder if he hadn't talked about how he was going to betray her before and after his defeat.

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

“Curse your sudden and inevitable betrayal!” Lol

[@JaySay]

After this one goes up, you're gonna have to give us that misplay game with One More Mana! Hopefully you still have the footage of it, because even if a game goes awry (or so out of whack that no one can keep up!) those guys really know how to have fun!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Oh, yes! We promised TWO Shuffle Up & Misplay episodes for our Kickstarter. This is one of them and THAT ONE? That's likely the other.

[@JaySay]

@@TolarianCommunityCollege Ahhh, I had a hunch that this was one and the other was that one. You spoil us like expired milk on a hot summer day, Prof! Thanks for an early Christmas present (of sorts!...)🤙❤

Michael using his one-card hand as a land was such a beautiful cherry on top.

[@Ruminations09]

It really was! Just when you think "okay, the game's over, surely there can't be any more mistakes," the most hilarious possible mistake happens.

[@D1versityArt]

This commander game felt the closest to every game I ever player. Threat assessment, misplays, everyone just focused on its own board. forgetting it's own triggers and so on and on :D

[@CatSculptor]

Love how this game was so wildly misplayed that there were essentially 2 separate games of Magic happening at the same time

[@matthewtompkins4338]

Love that everyone IMMEDIATELY forgot about Day/Night after the first cycle lmao

[@ASoulphoenix]

The graveyard played by itself while Celestus, Forgotten ancient and the day/night cycle were forgotten. Plus, storm player missed lethal twice. GGs indeed

[@STS-qi1qy]

I am so glad you decided to release this episode. The pop-ups were amazing.

[@cireegdoh]

I hope many are saying this, but I LOVED THE POP-UPS! I liked the factoids as well as the acknowledgement of misplays using them. It honestly felt like the most TCC gameplay video ever because you were learning whilst enjoying!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

35:43 Cool use of Chaos Warp, really liking these situations where cards have a unexpected benefit.

[@keegs5632]

I was wondering how there could be so many misplays when this was teased, and I just saw the Celestus drop and know why

[@topinambour]

18 minutes in and 2 Celestus triggers have been missed (2 life and possibly 2 loot), misplays not even acknowledged by the editor Edit: my bad they just noticed 😂

Prof: "We're not sleeving these." My anxiety: - ---------------⚪- +

[@_underscore_9271]

Man, I went to fnm at my lgs earlier this year to play some modern, and the guy I was playing against took out an unsleeved deck and proceeded to riffle shuffle it. I figured, okay, he's probably just playing a cheap deck like I am. And hoo boy was I wrong, in the five turns that game took he managed to play at least $200 worth of cards

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Truly a gem of an episode. Thank you editors for your work, we are forever in your debt.

[@Eramiserasmus]

The absolute chaos, the casual misplays, and the editor bringing us all the info-blurbs has me reminded of first learning Commander. The days of everyone learning together what cards do and coming up with fun synergies.

To be fair about the Prof playing the extra land, he didn’t get a land from Kodama’s trigger the previous turn. 😂

As someone who mainly plays (weird) Selesnya tribal combo decks, and Dimir investigate/general token spam nonsense, I will now always imagine these bubbles of shame popping up while I play commander, as to avoid future instances of missed triggers or fudged numbers. Thankyou Professor, and the associated faculty of Tolarian Community College!

I already love this! After a year of playing magic I am still confused a lot of the weird rules and sequencing.. To see much more experienced players also struggle with that just shows how complicated the game can be and frankly is sort of a reassurance.. And even though there is the occasional misplay, it does not take away one bit from the fun! Keep it going like this!

[@jackhemsworth7515]

Yeah i've been playing for 10 years, even i struggle to keep up with triggers sometimes. i decked myself yesterday through not noticing a mandatory draw trigger.

[@TeamToooBananas]

Its "complicated" due to poor rule design, its probably not you.

[@kelseyo402]

This episode is the epitome of a Junior editor project that they took a very long time on but turned out great.

[@serafimb2319]

Honestly, thank you for uploading this. It's important for players to not only see perfect flawless gameplay online. Everyone makes mistakes and it's great to see a content creator owning it

[@Ruminations09]

I always love episodes with Jesse! Really enjoyed seeing her play this format. Serious props to the editor of this video, as well! Keeping track of all the misplays, actual life totals, ongoing Storm count, and floating mana would be hard enough in a normal video, but with the amount of accidental errors in this game, it's even more impressive. It really went a long way to making what was frankly an extremely overwhelming endgame somewhat comprehensible. The other info blurbs were also great and appreciated as well! I completely understand if they are too time consuming to add regularly to every episode, but it would be really cool they started becoming more commonplace.

[@naemsterino]

I really liked Jesse's little smile at her own Forgotten Ancient joke :3

[@NunnanAgda]

That loooong finale felt like she didnt have a red deck... it felt like a blue deck 🤣

[@athko]

we need more episodes with jesse :3

[@PedroAbilleira]

PLEASE, release more of those if they ever happen! I reckon it's probably very taxing for the editors and judges to review all the footage, so probably not regularly releases, but still! The episode with Spice8 where you traded decks and this one are the BEST ones so far

[@Antwonay]

This has absolutely been my favourite episode of Shuffle Up and Play. The little info tid bits were so funny and some of them like the dramatic irony one were so clever and tongue in cheek. I properly belly laughed at the post game interviews when the Professor just had his head in his hand while Jesse talks real nonchalantly about how the partnership was temporary. Please do more misplay episodes, it would be such a shame for your hard work to go to waste and I think a lot of us enjoy this show for the real time, authentic banter too. Not saying the production value isn't good, but the "At home' vibe is just so chill to watch

[@mswelch84]

Love seeing the "pros" make misplays like I do... Makes me feel a little better that I'm not the only one. Also love the old-school VH1/MTV popups randomly throughout

[@jonathanrobinson8926]

I'm SO happy the Prof listened to the comments begging for this episode to be released.

[@samhorrell96]

I hope there are more episodes like this for every season of SUP. The pop ups were a great addition.

[@KomradeKrisis1701]

Having played a number of games where we all played a precon for the first time without familiarising ourselves with the cards in them, I think that might be the main culprit for all of the various missed triggers, etc that occurred

[@Pointandlaughh]

I like this gimmick. Reminds me of that old VH1 show that would have info popups during the music videos.

[@cliffwalker1389]

Loved to see this. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the mistakes put in the episodes more often as it shows how easy it is to misunderstand cards sometimes even for the most experienced players. The pop-ups were also a fantastic addition 😁

[@projektjohnny]

I'm a big fan of these pop-up messages. They don't have to be on all SUP episodes but they VERY entertaining 👌

I almost didn't watch this because why would I want to watch good players misplay for 90 minutes, but misunderstood the premise and I'm glad I watched it.

Letting my friend build a landfall deck sure was a great missplay

[@eventuelleon748]

[@myhairismessy3363]

23:44 "Day and night is checked at every upkeep... but triggers relating to it changing go onto the stack during the draw step" Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm acktually, according to CR726.2, day and night is checked during the untap step. The triggers related to it changing go onto the stack during the next time players would have priority, which is at the beginning of the next upkeep. CR726.2. As the second part of the untap step, the game checks the previous turn to see if the game's day/night designation should change. See rule 502, "Untap Step." There's some irony in the misplay episode's editor's notes getting things wrong. :-) Love the episode!

[@origaminosferatu3357]

Wow this makes me feel better about my games. I'm the ambitious Timmy who ends up building crazy synergies that quickly outstrip my mathematical prowess. The sarcasm dripping off those info bubbles made this episode sing. Great job, team!

[@enoesiw]

Late to the party, but Jesse did in fact have enough to pay 3 mana for the Commander Sphere. She starts off paying 1R for Reckless Impulse, which generates a R and exiles Grinning Ingus and Kyurk. At this point, she has 8 mountains untapped. She then pays 3 red from lands to play Grinning Ingus, leaving RR in the pool. After this point, there seems to be a cut where the lands have been rearranged, but she has an additional 5 tapped lands and 3 open lands when she plays Kyurk, which fits paying the 2 from lands. At this point she would have RRR in her pool. I think at this point in the video, she intends to untap one of the tapped lands to use mana in the pool but it ends up being tapped. Either way, she would have a total of 6 mana available - 3 from lands and 3 floating R - which is enough to activate her artifact and cast Commander Sphere with 1 open land and R in the pool when all is said and done. That means she has enough to follow through with the rest. And even in the situation that was brought up in the video when she tries to cast Seething Song, she can use one of the floating RR mana to return Grinning Ignus to get the mana to cast it. So, it's a little messy and the mana wasn't technically accounted for correctly, but she does have enough to do what she needed to do. That was such a chore to keep track of though xD Good job!

[@ericczerniak]

Love it, really enjoy all the little added comments by editors lol

[@OGAMIS]

I loved this. The added info were brilliant, and I loved the mesh of actual important info and jokey comments. Especially clarifying that a lot of people care about Jesse

[@williamgressman4001]

at 23:43 the rules note says day night is checked every upkeep but triggers go on the stack in the draw step, when it is actually checked every untap and triggers are put on the stack in the upkeep.

This is my favorite episode of SUP.

[@brennanruiz1803]

I sure love my favorite MTG series, Shuffle Up and Misplay. Wait shit you made that joke already.

[@theArcosa]

23:44 Re: Day/Night. The caption incorrectly says that Day/Night switches at upkeep and the triggers get put on the stack during the draw phase. The ruling 726.2 says that "As the second part of the untap step, the game checks the previous turn to see if the game’s day/night designation should change." The switch happens as part of the untap step and effects that trigger from the change will resolve at the start of the upkeep.

[@skybloo16]

23:45 I double checked (I have a *lot* of time with day/night on arena) and from 726.2 the check happens during the untap step, which implies triggers would happen during upkeep CR 726.2 As the second part of the untap step, the game checks the previous turn to see if the game’s day/night designation should change. See rule 502, “Untap Step.”

[@maxleveladventures]

I'm really enjoying these pop-ups. They are genuinely quite funny, some exceptionally so!

[@Flyboy245]
