Bro, don't pour all the time that you have into this channel, just leave it at this level. Your and your friends are such unique funny characters, it would be a shame if you dropped this project because of exhaustion.

[@brockmckibben637]

Agree! Y'all could play decks that viewers would literally send to you. It's my favorite channel!

[@Qdrew78]

Beautiful day my friends, I truly love your game play and friendship! I know your last video spoke of some hardships within your production life and I wanted to say a little of viewers perspective! Personally I am fighting 3 on board cancers on and off over the last 3.5 years and though my life life is truly beautiful and I am grateful for what I have I am keenly aware of the gifts within my life. You, your friends and this channel are a gift that I am grateful for. To wake and find friends laughing around the table is a gift that strengths my resolve and calls forth times in my life with similar friends. So you not only add to my current happiness but you bring forth the gift of so much past happiness as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope always love and laughter in your lives 😊 cheers friends

[@QMTG]

Thank you. It means a lot to me that you've taken the time to write this! It really puts things in perspective and reminds me to focus on all the positive things in my life. I'm glad that we're able to bring smiles and happiness to you and so many others ☺️

[@ccblink1430]

These types of videos are why i watch this channel. Love the casual gameplay and funny interactions

[@starry-dazed]

I know the last video spoke to hardships with this channel, but I love this channel. You guys are a perfect example of what edh play is like with friends. I know I'm not a member, but I like, comment, and always recommend your channel to others at my LGS. Keep it up, even if we don't get content often.

[@QMTG]

Thank you so much :)

[@masongrae5010]

You guys upload and create at your own pace I’m still gunna watch every game you post lmao I’d love to see a game with as many weird sub mechanic themes as possible. I’m talking coin flips vs dice rolling vs Dungeons vs stickers or something like that

[@adamxiong8558]

hate to see this channel die bc i honestly look forward to watching you guys play commander.

[@MstrKipper]

This was an insanely sick game of commander every deck popped off so hard

[@toutehtsute]

Camera work and editing getting better and better

[@Twime.]

Glad to see some more from you guys! Love your channel. I know the hardships have been difficult.

[@Maccabeus87]

Always a joy to see you all having fun playing Magic, Esmond. Keep chasing your dream.

[@austenplant3144]

I genuinely like this channel for its real friend group banter. Not to compare, but a lot of channels lose that when they go "big", essentially losing their soul. Dont do that please. :)

[@jasonhart543]

Love seeing Games Haven setting again & of course Matt & Paul!! Great gameplay, atmosphere, & banter as always. This kind of video is the core of why this is my favorite MTG channel. Adding my appreciation, like so many other commenters here

[@OmegaMTG]

Excellent game. Thank you bud for continuing this channel.

[@andreebitaar]

Hey! Shout out from Brazil! I'm a big, big fan of you guys. For me, you're the most funny magic channel to watch! Keep doing the great job and being those awesome ppl! I just became a member and i hope it helps a little to the growth of the channel!

[@QMTG]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Timmyfigs]

You guys have so much fun. this was a great start to my day.

[@matjeswins720]

very authentic gameplay. very enjoyable.

[@lledy]

I love this channel! Thank you for all your hardwork! The chemistry the group has is just fantastic ^_^

[@melvingomez1603]

This was a fantastic game to watch

[@dab022]

Happy to see you guys back.

[@mythoughtsonblank5769]

Glad to see another upload

[@colemosley1611]

Another amazing video! Thank you for making such great content. Always enjoy watching you all have fun playing and doing ridiculous things!

[@hanschristopherson8056]

OG atraxa being called old is crazy until you remember it’s 8 years old 😂

[@loloman34]

It’s been a while, glad you back

[@GastonPRamirez]

Good to see more of yall! Live, laugh, love, attack Matt!

[@withasilentg]

AAE - always attack Esmond

[@QMTG]

But.. I'm not the threat 🙃

[@cristopherloma9016]

You always are the threat xD​@@QMTG

[@Loubertdoubert]

Excellent video, as always!

[@QMTG]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gypsieking3280]

Ah, I always love the games here. Thanks!

[@francois939]

Great games as always and nice deck Paul love it

[@davidbivins953]

Love your channel dude.

[@Mewtwoisabeast]

God I love Polukranos, Unchained. I had to order another one because of this video lol.

[@QMTG]

Hell yeah I love it too!!

[@gaaragresnik4140]

Always Esmond 😂

[@williamriven]

Mathew should have put +1/+1 counters on his treasures, since Vihaan makes them into creatures until the end of the turn (so three with counters and the remaining without for that first turn with Vihaan).

[@paulcallaghan2876]

I appreciate you guys and I really hope you keep the games coming. Pretty much my favourite MTG content to watch. Much love 💪💪💪

[@PugFeist]

That looked like a fun game, so much card draw and value all around even if it wasn’t apparent at first.

[@heinekra]

Great game!

[@NathanJ666]

I'll agree with Paul, you were pretty even. Matt was about to make a bunch of treasures but Atraxa is scary Spoiler: Ivory Tower gained 33 life

[@QMTG]

Lol 😅 tower the true op

[@cagin5]

Regarding that early board threat assessment, we're 4 days past the Summer solstice, and thus, all things being equal, we can safely say "It's the summer of attacking Esmond!"

[@cagin5]

Cheers from Amsterdam Esmond 😆

[@cagin5]

And bon appetit

[@mikemartin9345]

The boys are back!

[@mahubii]

What a fun game ❤ I think having the post game talk as a members video is a great idea! Looking forward to those :)

[@QMTG]

Awesome!

[@lugh.i]

This game was really, really fun. That Arcanis decks was so fun to see. Keep up the great videos coming!

[@peterfankhauser3874]

Thank you for this awesome game!

[@maxwelllevey3963]

Since my Minn deck was inspired by Esmond’s version of Minn, I had the same reaction to Paul’s instant speed draw

[@QMTG]

Hahahaha yeah!! Gotta update it

[@RyanOlander]

Arcanis! My beautiful blue boy!

[@CardElk]

Great game, pizza food token was awesome! 😂

[@QMTG]

Hahaha yeah!!! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@moxavenger]

Maybe do games like LRR does, live with a card reader camera. Less editing time.

[@s.shadowwe3012]

Bought this eraseble token. Was slowly annoyed to bring all the tokens für the selesnya, Bant and Gruul decks i have =D

[@QMTG]

They're great! I really like how they're color coded

[@CassadyOne]

i like the content!

[@zunik18]

I am not a member, but I still recognize you Darryl

[@darrylcarulli]

You're my #1 fan

[@tokens3988]

Commander for the win keep the channel going.

[@moxavenger]

The song starting at 57:11 was pretty snazzy, nice original sound, very cool. All the other songs were kinda like bad elevator music and volume: too loud.

[@DatPaulGuy]

OH hey, its Paul, love that guy

[@Shydoshi17]

Let's see what the new Riku's got. The old one is awesome.

[@dylanboyle8212]

Paul is always ahead

[@jacobodell1516]

Ivory Tower 💯💯💯

[@mattconklin7624]

At that moment in time, Matthew was ahead i think.

[@MrCrazycarlwinter]

Thoughts on triomes being so plane specially named?

[@QMTG]

I'm used to it tbh. They're just Ikoria triomes and Capenna triomes to me lol

[@samjennings6791]

So who actually won, Paul or Mathew??? Great game guys, many many shenanigans 😂 my favourite kind of game play😂

[@bigrichard8265]

Very nice and funny game. Please keep this channel ongoing. You and your friends do a great job. Greetings from germany

[@QMTG]

Thank you!!!

[@combosarefun4449]

Awesome game :D

[@CastuloGallegos]

Draw 3!

[@tmakalpha1]

Haven't seen the episode yet, am expecting either energy or Atraxsagas

[@Souldk86]

this is the kind of commander gameplay I want to watch and the reason why I started to like the channel in the first place. Friends playing a fun game of magic. (commander) I really don't care nor mid that you are not doing "early" previews and content. I want to see friends playing and having fun with decks they love. I stopped following the more "commercial" channels like command zone etc. because they got too many adds that just ruin it for me. I much prefer the fun and "hobby" vibe here. Do it because you love it, even if it is only once or twice a month per video, if gameplay and fun is like this, that is all I want from this channel

[@AzureResonance66]

esmond... where did you get that shirt? oO

[@chesterfieldthe3rd929]

I love berds❤

[@chrisfalconbury6862]

Olivia looks fun to play

[@MrCrazycarlwinter]

I have not watched yet, but I am going to and want to get in earlyish on the comments :X

[@Haaskeer]

Hey Asmond, really nice game :D funny Atraxa deck! What im asking myself is, ive heared that many asian people have american names, at least in the US, because their "normal" names are hard to pronounce. Are those your real names? I dont want to know your real name if thats the case, I was only curious. Greetings from germany :)

[@QMTG]

Lol no, these are our real names. Most of us have english & mandarin names, while some don't have english names at all. These are our english names

[@RafaelGomez-ww7oe]

Clearly you are at thr point!

[@jsky2004]

🎉

[@QMTG]

🎉

[@devilxreject]

I'm watching this before i go to bed. Couldn't stop laughing to the point that my wife told me to watch it in the living room, lol. You guys are the best, and we all know Esmond's tactics lol

[@khaleinn]

❤❤❤❤❤
