Dude you got Ben Brode back on the screen. Man what INSANE guests this show has. Keep it up Lynch and Team

[@ChrisDinGR]

That ungoro song still in my head!

[@covertgoblue]

Thanks to my opponents for being good minions during the pop off, it was like having four players playing one deck 😎💙

Brode's laugh brought me straight to 2014 It's enough to make a grown man cry...

Once he left HS went downhill to the point I stopped playing.

[@lorisreignier2198]

Amazing laugh

[@DrAverage]

Ive literally watched this episode 10 times just for that laugh!

[@alanpep]

I loved seeing Ben Brode! Hearthstone was my gateway game before I got into Magic, so it was great to see him on the other side of my card game hobbies! Great game, great episode.

[@OctopiWalgreens]

Saaaame

[@guiltyofawesome]

I didn't realize how much I missed Ben Brode's laugh from when I used to play hearthstone. Dang I wish that dude was my friend.

[@williammaykel138]

CGB: I brought something new. Everyone else: Let me guess, the deck that is twice the height of the other deck? LOL #newsleeves

[@emmaskyeward]

This game was so much fun! I barely made my flight home, but it was absolutely worth.

[@ALEXUCHIHA1993]

That play with Kaalia, MoC and Imp's Mischief was amazing! I'm gonna look for that instant for my Yoshimaru x Reyhan deck.

[@patfenn399]

Just make sure you destroy CGB next time. There can only be one BO1!!!

[@1941SamS]

@@ALEXUCHIHA1993 sounds like a really cool concept. I've been looking for a way to make Reyhan work in a counter-centric strategy with some sac engines and hydras for that sweet sweet value. Care to share a link to your decklist?

@Savannah Lion Emma is good people!

[@michaelbush9112]

you drew 8 cards in your opening hand

[@michealmularz2403]

Lot of people seem to be stoked for Ben to be on the episode. I don’t know him at all and he unfortunately wasn’t able to do much but he seems like a fun guy to play Magic with and overall seems like a good guy. Great episode. Great to see Emma and CGB on the episode too!

[@johnsachs8585]

I will say his deck did exactly what jhoira(sic?) decks do, suspend big nasty stuff.

[@nicolaspassemard265]

Ben is awesome. Very cool, very fun, very nice, very charismatic.

[@MoroseMoe7]

Really happy to see CGB expanding into Commander. He’s a damn wizard with magic, and he makes amazing content. Y’all are all amazing!

[@RazgrizAce67]

This game shows why politics is so important: Emma could have teamed up with Lynch to one hit K.O. the clear threat on the board Covert with her Master of cruelties while Lynch bounces all his blockers. Instead she and Lynch end up playing for second place because they wasted lots of resources on each other.

[@delanee]

Cgb had maze of ith which would have removed the master from combat..

[@HeloKoL]

@@delanee Master is not removed from combat, it would still have put CGB at 1 life. Maze says it prevents combat damage but Master specifically says it is not combat damage. What I am wondering though is why Lynch didn't bounce his Hinata to save it.

[@DA-bn9ny]

​@@HeloKoL Master needs to be unblocked to trigger it's effect. CGB could Maze of Ith it before declare blockers step so it doesn't even get the chance to become unblocked

[@robertabugelis3962]

I didn't know Lynch could get Quentin Tarantino, Lisa Kudrow, and Seth Rogen to sit down and play Magic together.

[@bonhomie2797]

Seeing Ben Brode was such a pleasant surprise that I actually exclaimed "Holy shit, it's Ben Brode!" after his introduction. He was definitely one of the people that made Hearthstone truly special. Good to see him playing cards again!

[@hermesthenerd9967]

honestly super appreciate the way the group was helping the pop off get to learn their deck and assist with the final turn and wasn't salty about the deck being more powerful than folks anticipated. super good game as always!

[@thiesomatix]

I'm here before the premiere but just seeing Ben Brode is giving me hype+Hearthstone Nostalgia, excited to see what he's gonna be playing. Already know this one's gonna be sick!

[@Xalyn937]

I like the follow-up conversation at the end. It's often a missed part of the rule 0 conversation.

[@IHateYourDeck]

It's important to talk about the game afterwards, so you can learn and keep games fun.

[@JStack]

CGB went from not that into commander to having 10k in commander pieces lmao love to see someone thrive that’s earned it well!

[@Dascuz]

This episode was great, but I have to say, Ben Brode really stole the show here. He just seems like such a fantastic guy, so it was fantastic to see him on the show. Props to you, once again!

[@3000eZ]

Great episode, again !! I'm always amazed how CGB keeps track of everything, even if everyone was glad to help at the end ;-) I was also looking forward for a Piñata deck, I will definitely build one ! & Thanks for the content

[@craigmcalister3071]

nice to see CGB our from behind the mic and making the EDH circuit. Great guests, thanks

[@Halifax9]

This is what Friday’s are all about! A fantastic job as always Lynch!!👏🏼🔥 It’s so awesome that you got CovertGoBlue on the show. I love the chemistry he brings to the table! We should all love playing paper magic with our friends!

[@woodpeckerfm5033]

Ben laughing to hide his tears was glorious. That game swung spectacularly.

[@MrManny9494]

Wow, Ben Brode lost a lot of weight. Good for him!

[@peterchanthasena6875]

Would be nice to see the names of the commanders by the nameplate (on screen) for reference.

[@mdmedlin75]

Dude, I'm making a Hinata deck and I saw the Profs deck and as soon as his Kickstarter drops I'm gonna try and get one, so I am deff loving this episode

[@Murmaider4]

I love seeing CGB get to flex his Villian muscles in these commander games. Extra cool to see him on IHYD!

[@np8067]

I've watched a ton of episodes and this was one of my favorites. Everyone's personality blended so well, I'd love to see any of the three guests return for future shows

[@coldtruth9431]

21:51 probably one of the best finishes to a story on this channel lol. Then Brodes laugh to finish it off 😂

[@WilliamSpragge]

Brode's laugh 100/10 💯 IHYD's guest lineup each episode 100/10 💯

[@fliffsticuffs]

15:54, Emma says "Sadge". Telltale sign that Quasar Sensei's teachings reach far and wide.

[@rulamagic]

Also 'sus' around 18:54

[@gerardoramos3179]

When a game turns into solitaire it usually starts getting dull, but with how cool the turn was and all the banter attached it was honestly so fun to watch 😂

[@axelmohr1106]

I was hoping CGB going to California meant this would happen. You guys are great 👍

[@Contosoldier]

Thanks for the new episode! (Totally didn’t nab 33 while it was up.) looking forward to the new guests.

[@Xgya2000]

I missed the Ben Brode laugh. Heartwarming. Seeing Sensei CGB duke it out with my favorite Commander group is also a pretty awesome feeling.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Also, these guests were an EXCELLENT blend, hope to see a reunion of this when it's possible!

[@ivantelo9192]

Im so glad to see Ben brode again, its like encountering an old friend you lost long ago, and it seems im not the only one feeling like this 💚

[@robertbryce3225]

Lynch "I am the worst at pronouncing card names" Saffron Olive strokes beard: "Oh, you think bad pronunciation is your ally. But you merely adopted the misspeak; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see a dictionary until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The words betray you, because they belong to me!"

[@CTThib]

Can't wait to see the Blue White CGB commander if this one popped off as hard as it did! Great video!

[@oldbones7726]

Always look forward to the new IHYD episode and this one did not disappoint. Great interaction between the players and the continuous laughter in face of the absurdity of the CGB deck shenanigan's was like the cherry on top of a great evenings dessert. Thanks for sharing your games with us.

[@emrick8928]

Great video guys! IHYD has revitalized my love for the game. Around the 34:00 minute mark I think disorder to the court should've returned everyone's creatures tapped to the battlefield but otherwise great game and fun casual magic

[@th3otherguy558]

This sealed the deal. I'm gonna build a frog rider deck. That was amazing

[@ubermusli]

If I could come with some feedback, I would greatly appreciate if the card overlay would match the card that's played. Just so that it's the same edition and not like a secret lair version 😋

[@emiach]

I’ve noticed this trend in almost all MTG content including WOTC streams. Not sure why no one will take the extra second to pull up the matching image.

[@arterial_alchemy]

Great game and guests as usual, Lynch and friends. Keep on rockin it

[@jimrosasrodriguez4050]

I’ve been following Ben for over 10 years now, to see him playing Commander is a wish come true

[@endlessorbaggins8223]

Rule Zero means nothing to me if the players do not have a wide variety of decks powerlevel that they brought. What I see at my tables is the same I see in this show. People present 1-3 decks from which they already have one in mind they'd like to play. Then they go into Rule Zero conversation already biased and kind of randomly choosing what they will play without having a clear idea if the powerlevel is balanced around the table. And how can you have an idea of the "balance of powelevel" only based on interpretation of how each deck owners presents their deck?

[@pedrino321]

ihyd should not have rule 0 on screen imo. it’s meant for those who already understand the basic concepts of the game. will they just once show their commanders before the 10 minute mark, i miss the og episodes…

[@ndo420]

CGB is the one who gave me my addiction!! Thank you for the streak ! Thank you Lynch for always working so hard!!

[@brianarsuaga5008]

This is my favorite episode of the series. Everyone kind of got to do their thing- giant suspends, otk, massive nearly-free X spells. CGB definitely got the nuts draw though, in the order he needed his pieces. I don't know how many tutors he has in there but this seemed like a pretty lucky outing of the deck!

[@scorpionmax9484]

Everytime i see these videos i remind i need to buy a tool t shirt hahaha awesome content. Greetings from uruguay, always learning something new in commander from your videos

How was she able to just decide to redirect Imp's Mischief to Hinata, after she had already declared the 6/6 shark as her original target?

[@claudebelanger8712]

It's the spirit of commander, casual game with somes mistakes and a few backsies ;)

[@mrknarf4438]

Thing is, Imp's Mischief only targets the spell, and the new target for the spell are actually chosen in resolution. From the Gatherer: "You choose the spell to target on announcement, but you pick the new target for that spell on resolution." It was not a mistake ^-^

Glad you appreciate. Looks like we have made some people upset.

[@megamarkread]

Hi, I mean no disrespect, genuinely curious, but what about including the pronouns in this episode made you feel represented? The table was full of people with the pronouns you'd expect from their outer appearance. So why would that make you feel represented?

[@DirtyO]

@@megamarkread from what I understand, the goal is to normalize talking about pronouns so that people stop assuming pronouns. The othering takes place because of the assumptions. If we normalize declaring pronouns it creates a safe space for someone who goes by a different pronoun that the gender normative one to feel comfortable declaring their pronoun

[@DirtyO]

@@IHateYourDeck keep doing it! It helps remind me that I should be doing it more in my everyday life. Making Magic a safe and inclusive space is the best!

[@megamarkread]

@@DirtyO but... Why would people stop assuming pronouns? The vast majority of the time you would be correct in your assumptions, and if you're wrong it's not hard for someone to politely correct you with their preference. I don't see why everyone should change the way they converse for the convenience of a small minority of people.
