God Paul I'm so glad it's great to have you here, as the premier "Thanks for having me, it's great to be here" person of LRR, it is great to have you here

I haven't grinned this wide since Adam and Ben got reunited after the panini 😂💜

I was more excited to see Ben and Alex after the Panama, cause those 2 are so unhinged

Saw a clip of this on the highlights reel and went searching for it. I was almost positive I didn't miss it. LRR produces my favorite Commander content online at this point so I keep an eye out. Glad to see it uploaded. Praise be the editors. Praise be the algorithm.

Paul is absolutely ON it this stream. I live for it. Thank you LRR and especially thank you Paul!

[@bigblind6422]

“How complicated do we want to get?”, “Go for it, we have three judges here!”. Plays Shares the Spoils and immediately screw things up by casting multiples spells from one spoils. It gets called out later, reread the card, and still get it wrong. Lesson learned here is magic is hard for everyone, including judges.

[@Lucarioguild7]

In their defense it is formatted absolutely terribly so it is incredibly easy to read it as the only restriction being that you have to play the cards from exile during your turn and that you must exile a card from your library after doing so.

[@jacefairis1289]

it's so incredibly un-obvious that you can only cast one spell off it per turn, I literally didn't believe it until i checked gatherer. what a terribly formatted card lmao

[@christopherfu2169]

@@jacefairis1289 looked up the card just now and honestly couldn‘t find that restriction, or is it that the Card says play A land or A spell exiled by it?

[@Sagemastar]

@@christopherfu2169 it is worded where the player may use A card from among share the spoils exiled cards, since it is worded as a singular card and not cards you may only use its effect once per turn

Great matches, and Farmer Cotton is putting in work growing all those cats. I am hoping though they christen the new Moonbase with a night of Beejlander in one the first Friday night paper fights in the new Moonbase. Although, I'll enjoy any Magic content they present.

[@dracoelynne]

thank you for having us, Moonbase Mk V, it was great to be there. :]

[@DesWombat32]

I feel like Ben was almost embarrassed at how much Rocco was popping off in comparison to the other three decks 😂

[@nelsonsalahub]

Honestly it was fun to watch

[@AutumnReel4444]

It was the only deck that wasn't group hug, makes sense I suppose. All were sick decks imo

[@Goldie299]

Absolutely Loved it! Hope to see another 4 way group hug game in the future 😁

[@shampp5411]

I'm missing something and I'll probably feel dumb when someone tells me but how did Rocco have trample in game 1 when Ben killed Nelson? I tried looking over the game state but I can't find the source of trample.

[@caseyfurey1348]

You’re right - at 52:00 he hesitates and almost equips it to the troll with trample so he probably got it confused later

[@evandavis9636]

Good jokes, good games, good people. Engagement!!

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you.

[@Shadow298]

Those were some fun games to watch. Great to see people have ridiculous fun in matches.

[@SirLogos]

Note, you can only cat one card from share the spoils on your turn. You cant keep going

[@TheSonicWafflez]

These games were so fun, so much going on with each turn and the last turns of both were incredible!

[@markbrierley6367]

11 minutes in and I'm already seeing so many staples of my Pheldagrif Group Hug deck. I love it!

[@bigwig8657]

Paul being stuck babysitting all these Lrr noobs on last day of school.

[@lostmarble540]

speaking of pride month, Rocco is non-binary. Maybe not the best representation given that they had no impact on the story and barely showed up in cards, but hey maybe they'll be important the next time we visit new capena. Also, there's an atraxa kite in the background of the card art, which is just great.

[@emilysmith2965]

Would you say that Rocco has… a Modern Life?

[@bobthegamingtaco6073]

Gender is an illusion, curly banana food Token is real. Absolutely understand where Rocco is coming from lol

[@PerryAsbury]

Just watched AEW Forbidden Door, and then heard Ben sing Final Countdown... a tiny part of me expected to see Bryan Danielson come sit down at the table!! (American Dragon-tribal deck, obviously)

[@kiannawhitehead9398]

This game has me rewatching Friday nights! I love you guys! I hope the move goes smoothly and can't wait for my pins!!

[@BorgLDS]

Great games! Loved the Rocco deck Ben brought. Might have to see about putting together a Rocco deck myself!

[@Pancorania]

This was a phenomenal one, thank you!

Truly the most majestic game... Absolutely moved. (Turns to off screen) Whaddya mean "not that kind of moved"?

[@pytawidmo]

This kinda made me wanna see Irenicus vs Blim vs Zedruu vs Karona/Xantcha/Kharn/Sol'Kanar or another "no, you have this" kind of deck. It would be a nightmare to track things, I am sure :D

[@tomireland3644]

Wow, yeah! Hot-potato commander, don't be holding it when it goes off 😂

[@justinleach4775]

So, am I missing a joke about the “Lands in the front, Party in the back” pin not getting to happen? Cause I sure have that pin. 😅

[@tomireland3644]

I was thinking the same thing. I think some accidental gaslighting going on 😅

[@badgeronriodz6792]

I will say first things first amazing game love it to bits. Share the spoils is a personal favourite of mine. However, share the spoils you can only play one card at a time with it. The ruling "Once a player plays a land or casts a spell from among the exiled cards, they can't play any more of those cards that turn." I really dont care i thought it made the game all the funnier

[@Eramiserasmus]

I'm so glad everyone was here this episode!

[@weirdo82]

Avarice Totem is an old, broken card my casual playgroup occasionally exploits. What you do is make sure the opponent you want stuff from has no possible interactions, and you have 10 mana. Step1: you activate the Totem, exchanging control of something of yours(usually a small creature/token) with the Totem. Hold priority. Step2: while holding priority, you activate it again, exchanging something of an opponent's that you want, with the Avarice Totem. Step3: when the abilities resolve, you first exchange what you wanted from the opponent, and they get Avarice Totem. Then, it's first activation resolves, giving you back Avarice Totem in exchange for that most likely useless card. Janky, but bonkers card.

[@ankhi3585]

It does cost 11 mana total and it does require your opponent to not have 5 mana available (they can respond after the second activation resolves and before the first activation does).

[@weirdo82]

@@ankhi3585 Yea. That's why it's janky, but still nasty if you can do it.

[@DerpyLaron]

For anyone wondering Share the spoils is only one card per turn. So sadly Ben cheated :( The gatherer ruling for it is pretty clear "Once a player plays a land or casts a spell from among the exiled cards, they can't play any more of those cards that turn. That is, it's one land or one spell, not one of each. "

[@Jjdude101]

Lot of great moments in this! Hard to have a favorite.

[@TheWonko]

as per the algorithm's demands: My group-hug Phelddagrif deck is a delight to play. My favorite play with it was countering a spell with Perplexing Chimera, then using Fractured Identity *on* that chimera to give one to everyone; there were very few spells resolved as intended that game

[@petrseghman4283]

Before the first turn took place, I already laughed my a** off!

I have my Xyris the Writhing Storm as a grouphug commander. I double mana, I give cards, I only attack with Xyris and Dragon Mage. All my snakes stay unless Xyris is hurt. It has once made my basics tap for 347million mana each, and dealt about 4000 damage with Burn at the Stake.
