David saying “Dressing smart today because I’ve got a date with victory” was the smoothest thing I’ve ever heard 😂

Shout-out to Becky for being really good about explaining what her cards are doing instead of just playing a cards assuming th audience knows. As a newer magic player this helps soooo much.

[@alexanderkaufman3575]

Can we have a "Missed trigger counter" The number of sphinx's tutelage and mindcrank triggers missed is a lot.

[@michaeldlynch]

Human error. Sorry. We’ll get better.

So relatable.

[@angelowilliams5239]

Relatable with my Tergrid or Toralf deck. When it goes well...it goes WELL. When I'm heavily targeted...it's a bummer (and honestly rightfully so to the heavily targeted in the decks I made with those commanders lol).

Despite the outcome, there's always a feeling in most episodes that Joe is just a little play away from winning. And of course, great episode! I love the fact that we get to see some game-ending combos in your show that many people might consider taboos. Ending the game like this does not mean that it was no fun.

[@michaeldlynch]

We try to keep it real flaws and all. That happens at your lGS.

[@REMfakeplastictrees]

It’s nice seeing Lynch just be happy to play the game. It reminds me that some edh play groups want you to check the spike mentality at the door and just have fun. Jo being salt with blue is funny but most of the time warranted..... 🤣 David got shut down before his engine started again and Beky was an awesome first time guest. Great episode guys keep up the grind

[@jonlamoreaux1889]

[@andrewerickson961]

@@michaeldlynch love the series just pointing it out, things happen, lots of triggers

[@Deimancer]

It'd be nice to see a battle of old school troll decks for an episode of I HATE YOUR DECK. We're talking like Urza's lands fueling a colorless grindstone/whetstone deck, thrashing wumpus + spirit link/curiosity/"whenever enchanted creature deals damage" shenanigans, your classic counterspell deck where you ask "what's it do?" nearly every time a player does anything since you can counter everything, land destruction, etc. etc. Maybe choose up to a certain old school block and anything prior to it is allowed, but no proxies still.

[@gordo262]

In my Phenax Deck I play the "Duskmantle Guildmage" as counterpart to "Mindcrank", so there is a counterpart.

[@junglingmitapfel2902]

Rielle is highly underplayed on KZbin! Appreciate it to see her :)

[@AlmightyAddman]

I really like the atmosphere to these videos and the games have a proper down to earth feel. Thanks for keeping the commanders different, the players this game were both great

[@justinritchie1818]

Beky is a really cool player. You need to have her back again.

[@4n6redrum]

What I love about these videos is that they are fun and entertaining. You have a group of four individuals who jive well together but playing cEDH style decks in the most fun way possible. Is there possible salt? Sure, but who doesn't from time to time and its all in good fun. I can't help but notice that Lynch plays toxic shit like me, mill baby mill and torture style decks. But Joseph likes to play life gain decks a lot. But seeing different guests and seeing all the different decks and commanders is great. I played a similar match with Phenax as my opponent and I was playing Anowon. I ended up winning due to Phenax milling most of everyone and on the 1 on 1, I had enough damage with a ton of Nortoious Throng Boosted rogues to deal well over 40 damage but the opponent also had like 20ish cards in their deck lol So this video brought back a fond memory of a good match (shameless plug vid on my channel) Edit: David should have waited on activating brainstorm till either Bekys endstep or in case he had cards he wanted to recycle in case someone used a library reshuffle or wheel early on.

[@michaeldlynch]

Sweet!!!!

[@Reruro]

This show really just is continually getting better over time. The guests are lovely, and it feels like you're just enjoying a casual game of Commander.

TLDR; Can't wait to see how this plays out. Funny I had versions of these 4 decks, Rielle being the quickest to zero out(and the most hated of the four) Akiri voltron is fun, Anowon Rouge tribal actually turned in to Phenax big tough mill power. Phenax is a bold choice considering how quick so of the decks are that have been on so far that gave good showings(specifically not looking at Ur-Dragon).

Deep respect for playing mill decks in multiplayer edh, that is a bold strategy. Thank you for the content and I appreciate the production level that you maintain while keeping it a bit unpolished. Every game of edh has human error as a component, and that is without half the table being in charge of making everyone else look good with lighting and such. Excellent work, and thank you again.

You guys are awesome! This is the one Magic channel, I never knew, I needed in my life. Admittedly, I basically never search for Magic content actively anymore, but after years of only watching the Command Zone and The Professor this is such genuine, authentic and top of all that, very positive vibed Magic content. Not saying Jimmy & Josh or The Prof are not doing an incredible job and obviously are truely in love with Magic - but here I could sense a genuine love for MtG right away from the start that is neither sugar-coated (starting with the hilarious channel name) nor staged or exaggerated. Plus you guys have a really good humour, which is unfortunately a rare thing to find in the competitive Magic scene, where everyone is just out to get those victories instead of having fun with the game. These CEDH decks seem like a great compromise between competitive and casual gaming for my taste. This inspired me to play some paper again after quite a long break, as I had a little Magic burn out from competitive grinding on MTG Arena. Long story short, you've got a new subscriber and looking forward to hopefully a lot more videos in the future. Keep up the great content and thanks for "reigniting my spark"..!
