TwilitLugia honestly the overreactions and saying everything is so powerful is what I dislike about the channel, the pure gameplay stuff like muddstah I generally enjoy more as there’s so much less useless audio. It all just feels a little fake and I feel demeaned when it’s assumed I don’t know how good sol ring is.

TwilitLugia: Well they're all being real, but I do like that he provides a good contrast to the style of many other people on the show. Canis: I don't know, Turbo Fog can be pretty brutal. Antonio: Remember that they make Game Knights in a way to make Magic more accessible to people who might not know it or know it that well. Those explanations aren't for people like you so I don't know why you'd find them demeaning. They're for contextualizing the game for newer viewers to help them out. It's why coverage has that "advantage bar" and the casters. The audio adds entertainment value, production value, and accessibility and that's what makes GK so good.

From seeing Cassius on Olivias stream and his personal decks I sure as hell thought he would play the Kalamax deck, he seems to like spiky decks. His Selvala deck for example is bonkers and every deck I've seen so far of him is at least an 8 I would say.

[@aidanelliot5421]

The card animations get me every time. I’m usually rewinding just so I can see them again

[@guts9043]

I enjoyed this episode just like how I enjoy all Game Knights episodes, but there was something really nagging at me after watching it. I feel like on an overall scale, all of these precon decks really misrepresented the performance that they were capable of. Jimmy basically only able to mutated once, Josh only copied two spells, Cassius only was able to cycle properly twice when his commander was out, and like he said had no cycle cards after turn 5, and finally Alias had only one creature in her graveyard when she cast Kathril. This is not about how well the players performed, no not at all, but how, unfortunately, most of the good/key cards that display what the deck was meant to do just simply didn't show up. Perhaps I have been to spoiled by past episodes where crazy explosive turns would happen and the board would be wiped multiple times, and finally by outplaying through some sort of advantage, or simply cashing in favours, one is left standing! However I felt at the end that the entire game became more or less a slug fest due to many players top decking lands and missing many of their pieces throughout the game. I hope I didn't enrage any fans because I just wanted to make a point that just one or two decks underperformed, but on a general level that was the case I feel, but that's just my opinion :-)

[@christiankist9111]

I disagree with WotC on this but they have said that they intentionally leave obvious cards out of the decks so people can upgrade them.

[@PinkertonMTG]

@@christiankist9111 Makes sense, but this is personally my least favorite commander cycle in a long time.

[@danilooliveira6580]

yeah it was kinda sad to watch Cassius not play magic at the end

[@fuckingimpossible]

What you are seeing are decks with too many lands and unfortunate variance due to decks that just aren't tuned very well. It's ok that this happens, and we should all expect this from these precons; that is, as they have been released. I would prefer the precons be built with better options and less tap lands! The themes were strong, but the decks are pretty underpowered and stretched thin by very greedy mana requirements with weak mana bases. I don't want the folks at CZ to feel like they need to alter the actual gameplay to make it more exciting, so I prefer seeing how the decks do being piloted by competent players. If they perform poorly, that is very valuable information about what you may be inclined to spend your money on.

[@ZeRafut]

This is why precon episodes are boring and dull imho. I get why they have to do them but I end up rarely watching because the games aren't interesting to watch.

[@Weebfox]

Love seeing Cassius back, still my fav guest up to date! Can't wait to watch the episode, this set is sick! Edit: man, sad that most decks didn't really get to do their thing but that's how commander goes sometimes :/

[@Lazergician]

"I can't wait to get Fierce Guardianship and put it in all my decks!" Yeah, about that.... $$$$

[@andrewsparkes6115]

Yeah, about that $$$$...It'll go down, dramatically, compared to things like Teferi's Protection or that red Treasure dude (I forget the name) in older sets. This year Commander cards show up in the Collector Boosters, meaning a much bigger influx onto the market. It'll be a highish cost card, but not nearly as bank-breaking as cards that have shown up in Commander products before. So don't go buying them now, either to use yourself or to sell on later - they'll be a fraction of the price in a year once LGSes are open again and the Collector packs have been opened en masse.

[@notsuspiciousthejudgmental2423]

It's situational though, hes saying in this situation it's almost better, in the review video they're talking about upgrading the decks to increase the power to the level of 'normal' decks and how good the cards are overall.

[@MarvelOfRain]

​@@mikemcglasson1286 It is a matter of uncertainty IMO. When evaluating you are looking at the average case and when tutoring, looting, drawing you are considering its actual impact in a situation. I often discard Rhystic Study or Signets to hand size and keep subpar big creatures, but the big creature is usually the card replaced after the game ends (sometimes even if it won me the game).

Jimmy, if you read this: Becoming the "big threat" first is usually what gets you killed when you play on camera. People will keep on attacking you, even after you're no longer a threat. The second person to become a threat will usually have to deal with a lot less hate due to people already having spent their resources on stopping the first threat. - A fan

Thanks to you and your team! I am a beginner at MTG and going into your local shops in the UK in my area can be a bit annoying to ask how it all works. I go in and they look at you weird if you don't already know everything. So I found the culture around it really antisocial at first for beginners. This helped me to get into the games, see how much fun it is, and how everyone can play. Thanks to your videos I can now say I have built a lot of my own 60 card decks, and now own a few prebuilt commander decks (including two from this video). It is amazing how much personalisation and creativity goes into your deck building, and how easy you can tell if you haven't built it right as soon as you test it out. It is also nice as every deck can be a little art collection too. Thanks for showing the Ultra Pro products too, the mats and deck boxes are so pretty and such good quality!

I want Mel back! :D first episode I ever watched was the 2018 precon's and I got the Saheeli deck after watching Mel play with it ^^

[@AdamBlade17]

That amount of editing tho. You can tell Wizards is really spending a lot of cash on advertising lol

[@codyolson5003]

I love all the episodes with Cassius.

[@Rhan_tu]

Forever happy to see a game knights video

[@MadHouseGaming316]

I can watch you guys play all day . My mom and I play every weekend in our game room we made and we just play these episodes. I love it keep up the great work ladies and gents!

[@michaelmitchell6635]

Can we just talk about how Jimmy died to a Murder Hornet? xD

[@Bluecho4]

That's 2020 for you.

[@Josh-mk7ok]

I don’t know why he didn’t mutate that flyer on to the whale wolf? Would have kept him a live a bit longer

[@techoutsider5631]

@@Josh-mk7ok You have to cast it to mutate; jimmy didnt

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I’m a simple man. When I see Cassius Marsh, on Command Zone I click!

[@manuelgeraldino2235]

Man. We need more Cassius. Love the man

[@AlexFarleyMusic]

This weekend I bought Symbiotic Swarm. It's my first Commander deck! After getting it at my LGS, I joined a game of commander. It lasted 2 &1/2 hours. I've never experienced such an insane game of magic before.

[@holycharlie1]

The editor of these videos has a lot of work to do! and I love his/her job :D amazing decks and gg for AliasV, love your videos.

[@BlastGamer77]

Cassius literally sitting in the background for HALF THE GAME completely untouched

[@Kestas_X]

24:16 "Wars never end. They just go quiet."

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

29:32 “And now I’m not like *as* upset.” Right... Watch the C18 Game Knights. Cash holds a grudge.

[@coolkamgaming9231]

This was a good one, you guys really do such a good job, had a blast watching this episode. I also already watch these pre-con games so I know how all the decks work before I choose one. I think I’m going to be getting the Kathril deck. Looks fun! You guys always make such great content. Keep up the good work!

[@murdertankliam]

i really love how much effort you guys put into the production cudos to your team behind the screen as well of course as your entertainment on screen great video as usual!

[@rxlu]

:( I was kinda looking forward to mutate, but still a good game! I really loved the animation in this episode, hence 33:18

[@AdairCorbin]

I thought Marsh was a time traveller for a second there, then I realized he only looks 15 years younger with the new hair.

[@liamhart7437]

I don’t care how long it takes as long as I get to watch some great content

[@royalathenian2187]

Anyone else love revisiting old episodes like this

[@gimmethejuice7305]

That transition when Cassius got josh's creature to attack Jimmy was very cool. The special effects really do make this a lot more digestible

[@matthewtollefson4210]

I would love to see a game knights episode where Jimmy, Josh and the two guests created their own commanders, with every other card in the deck being a actual card in magic.

[@thewatcher2305]

Uploaded 32 seconds ago now that's what I like to see

[@micokurjak]

Really god Channel and I love watching your games and playing MTG. Greetings from Serbia

[@matthewcallow8971]

0:45 "They look really really sweet and I know that everyone out there is as well" Aww, thanks Josh P.S. Otrimi Gnar is terrifying

[@oakmountain2788]

This episode got me STOKED to play these decks - I love Game Knights and the Command Zone, I always get a few laughs and learn how to improve my game play - Thanks friends!!! Ordering these decks soon :D

[@michaelroy1175]

Did Jimmy make fun of everyone's mom's before this game or something?

[@inbanewetrust]

Thought the same thing I felt like everyone was targeting him when he was not a threat in most cases.

[@mistraven8234]

Yeah, I understood when he was the biggest threat, but then starting about halfway in, some of the plays that were made started to annoy me. The abzan deck went by untouched for a fair good bit when it shouldn't have

[@GigaLordShinyMudkip1]

Maybe there is a patreon video where Jimmy goaded everyone else before the game. The alternative is everyone was afraid of mutate.

[@inbanewetrust]

@@mistraven8234 I agree love all their content and videos but this one seemed annoying. Seemed like Jimmy was ganged up the whole game. Like at one point josh and jimmy should of been working together they were 20 life or lower and the rest was at 40. Bad politics and threat assessment.

[@copperfield42]

no, he just Mind Slave lock Josh once XD

[@milancunningham6571]

In the future, I think Jimmy or Josh should make a commander deck with Xyris, the Writhing Strom as their commander. (I also just like the prospect of wheels in that you make everyone discard their hand and suffer.)

[@flyingblind5677]

As a Seahawks fan, I love and miss marsh, he was under appreciated

[@finnmchugh99]

The animations make this episode more entertaining on top of everything else so awesome

[@absolumx6676]

Koodo on the special effects and all the animation WOW very professional and immersive. Anyway I had to pause after the intro to make this comment as i was mezmerized lol. Ive been watching TCZ for a very long time and I can always see when something is new or got better. Well everything The Command Zone Team do is done right and it really blows my mind. Excellent works... once more. GG !

[@samlastname5839]

Alias the fifth, I see what he did there.

[@deanm8408]

V is the Roman numeral for 5

[@dylankelley9282]

With how hard he was being targeted I'm sad Jimmy didnt kill Josh off by replaying his commander on his token for lethal two turns in a row.

[@tinykappasubaccount5943]

Every month when these come out I have the best hour of every month

[@MonkeyRaunak5]

This was very fun to watch! The editing was great and very entertaining throughout.

[@lewkycharmes]

So happy to see Cassius back. Love the cast and crew as always but Cassius and Blanchette are two of my absolute Faves!!
