Friday Nights: Fantasy Pro Tour

It's Fantasy Pro Tour draft time! Will the coverage staff wear a cardigan? Will any player take a selfie in front of a UNESCO World Heritage site? Will Paul get his Earthshaker Khenra token? Will there be more rhetorical questions before you watch this video?

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Me, prior to today: "It's too bad they'll never be able to work Beej into another Friday Nights." Me, today: "They found a way." (slow clap)

[@Seraphinim]

Speechless, when Graham couldn't speak.

[@eonchao]

Speechless and the Take the Crown episode

[@CSDragon]

I'm surprised they didn't use Ian since he actually plays MTG.

[@Woodthorn]

I don't think Ian exists in the FN-universe.

[@serpensviktorijewiczvonarm1011]

He exists in the CH-verse and FN verse is a part of it.

[@RhysticStudies]

Draw a card. Draw three cards. Draw the game. Cam continues to be the only one who gets it.

[@serpensviktorijewiczvonarm1011]

And then you grapeshot for 200...

[@PewPew_McPewster]

TheMagicManSam just play game 1 to time using an armada of flying walls and search spells that will always fail to search, an I right?

[@berndb3141]

Cam's Planeswalker seems very op. That's why.

[@Draugo]

Well Paul exiles your opponent and also has very strong hat meta so the winner is obvious.

[@antaresmaelstrom5365]

@Draugo Especially since Paul will therefore win in any RE-level even if it is running down the clock. Cam just "Draws the game" so the game is a draw. Paul is much better.

[@DatBrasss]

The best part is when everyone forgot that Paul actually played in a Protour earlier in the series, hands down.

[@elesh.n]

So hyped for pro tour Alex's kitchen

[@SpartanLord99]

Hey whoever takes the time to write the abilities of all the planes walkers in the intro, I want you to know that I take the time to read them all and there all great.

[@veggiesblowup8785]

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that Alex is in charge of the cards for the intro. I do agree that they were really funny this time around.

[@lvl99dh]

My tier list is cam then alex then paul then the rest are unclear or ineffective

[@lordfaron2694]

Ditto

[@JasWright1018]

Level 99 Demon Hunter Kathleen has an amazing -4 though

[@atlastheace6022]

I've tried but I get too lazy but yeah whoever does that is a legend

[@RmaGdn2012]

I look over to my recommended feed to see Marshall Sutcliffes vlog, the thumbnail is... Him in front of that exact same Japanese building. Well played...

[@Muspelful]

Also, he ate a fun Japanese snack while on coverage. Twenty points!

[@kappaross6124]

Marshall is always an easy first pick.

[@HumbleWooper]

So, so true. He stands head and shoulders above the competition.

[@chekl1982]

you got me at "-10 Draw the game" so Cameron

[@gandalfii644]

LRR should have an annual PT Alex's Kitchen as a Canadian Highlander tournament and a cube draft.

[@Quintega]

The cube should be strictly worse

[@Ellanion]

Missie!

[@mhutt333]

"Draw a card. Draw three cards. Draw the game." This set of Cam planeswalker powers made me smile.

[@Agrus_Kadeen]

There are 33 black mana symbols on kathleen's ultimate.

[@EricChoiniere]

Silver Swag Her age confirmed?

[@thethirdshard2036]

Silver Swag i use endless One?

[@oyleslyck]

6:38 "One point if they Tweet a picture of themselves at Kunkaku-ji." I look over to the recommended playlist and the first video is Marshall Sutcliffe's video blog from GP Kyoto and the thumbnail is literally Marshall in front of the Golden Pavilion.

[@artstsym]

Posers, anyway, Ginkaku-ji is where it's at. Wabi-sabi all day.

[@daregamo1455]

Half of the story for this episode is Alex looking for a token. If only he went to Card Kingdom.

[@sheesh8831]

Dare Gamo they got the sickest custom tokens lmao. Anyone else going to the rags 2 riches tomorrow-ish?

[@emmakristoffersen8550]

Did he say he need it for khan-lander? is that a real format?

[@daregamo1455]

Emma Kristoffersen Canadian Highlander. It's very much a real format.

[@koshi6505]

"Magic magic magic magic" "Anime anime anime anime" Why are they so confused? I'm following this perfectly.

[@WindyDelcarlo]

I'm glad they got Beej in playing PuzzleQuest.

[@SmaugUKA]

WindyDelcarlo Beej got himself into it.

[@WindyDelcarlo]

I mean into the sketch. Not getting him into the game, I meant that they got in a line about him getting into it.

[@SmaugUKA]

WindyDelcarlo Because it's a Magic Product and Team Puzzle Quest was brought up. I would have been more surprised if Beej wasn't brought up in this episode because of that.

[@WindyDelcarlo]

It wouldn't surprise me if the reason they brought up Team Puzzle Quest was exactly so they could make that joke. I'm not saying I'm surprised they brought him in, I'm just saying I'm glad they did.

[@SmaugUKA]

WindyDelcarlo Doesn't help they have some of the greatest minds in Magic history? Let alone the person who's the common choice for best Magic player of all time in Finkle? Let alone a worthy First Pick in a Draft? Makes sense on my facets. And yes I agree that any time they can get Beej in is good. Now the question becomes, "When until Beejdrop is Canon in Friday Nights?" (Just imagine if they can get Marshall, LSV, Finkle, or someone of that nature actually being Beej the whole time. It'd be amazing.)

[@twidgetron328]

Hey, do you guys still make Friday Nights?

[@jonahcarver7198]

doesloadingreadyrunstillmakefridaynights.com/

[@UnoDosTres-qn4lm]

Twidgetron this is the newest one

[@SmaugUKA]

yuto shun The person's question is a rhetorical Troll/running gag for LRR fans. He's not actually asking. Which is why it gets so many Likes.

[@rodolfosanchez1508]

A super sentai museum? Sign me up!

[@twidgetron328]

It asks if Paul will get his Earthshaker Khenra token in the description instead of Alex.

[@EricChoiniere]

I guess Alex is secretly another Paul clone.

[@SpoonHurler]

Probably not a secret anymore.

[@vinceinman9666]

"I'm going to bed." -james "It's 4 in the afteroon" -kathleen "IDGAF" -james james is the best

[@ForeverOdd]

"How to recognize different types of mecha from quite a long way away." Almost fifty years on and people still reference Monty Python's Flying Circus.

[@Josh_Fredman]

1. The sound a hoopoe makes is "Keep! Keep!" 2. I read Cameron's card in the opening credits in his voice. So perfect!

[@EionBlue]

Missie and Graham bouncing MtG meta jokes off of each other is one of my favorite Friday Nights tropes.

[@thesquirrelwranglers5076]

yo lit i have not played magic in a year but i still watch this

[@flannelshirtenthusiast4159]

Every time a new Friday Nights comes out I have to spend 5 minutes reading the card abilities in the intro; nearly doubles the total entertainment. That's value

[@bryantan4228]

1:02 I love Paul's Karn cosplay.

[@CodenameJD]

I'm always so happy when Beej shows up in your MTG content. I don't follow a lot of your other things... but neat about the Sentai museum :D

[@lolchaos13]

"super sentai muesum" LOST IT

[@MrBlackpink]

I searched this release an hour ago, 10 minutes before it came out. Happy to finally see it !

[@killustrator]

Nobody gives a shit

[@JoelRiter]

Did I really just binge the entire show? What the hell. I don't even play Magic, that much anyway. I'm more of a Pokemon player and I still love this. I can't believe how much of the humor crosses over. What the hell am I supposed to watch now?

[@laxrulz7]

welcome back. Always love these... also, nice B-Roll over the city to start ;)

[@snirky]

Can't say I really liked this episode. It was a really long walk just for a timezone joke and I don't know if having Beej really added much. I also felt more could have been done with Cam's scene. I did enjoy the stinger though. It was nice explaining StP for less enfranchised players. Also, team coverage scored a point from Marshal's vlog.

[@ProfessM]

Totally confused by the cards, totally understand Beej. Yup.

[@jeffchann4556]

It's cool that at least in eastern time zone, they made this on a Friday

[@TheMD93]

The fucking Monty Python reference on the TV... I'm deceased

[@ItsAStarfish]

Weebeej

[@Dimizar]

Marth, But every tipper fair furthers my depression beejiaboo

[@kobalt_ren01]

Weeabeej

[@ThisIsAigle]

i am both saddened and glad i stumbled on this. For the Macross and Robotech referencing. And for the shade being thrown at Macross and Robotech.

[@danielhuras617]

I love the robotec joke and the explanation of why the show is the Frankenstein's monster it is. also I refuse to call it anything but robotec you can't make me!

[@PerhapsOOTMM]

3:34 "Tricky Nick" lol clever, guys

[@vishwa6645]

Weebeej rocking that Hidden Leaf Village headband, he has not gone rogue yet then...

[@TuckBolt]

You made me exhale through my nose extra hard several times.

[@leow9158]

Yes a Friday nights finally!

[@jameswilson4328]

Yasss! Thank you LRR Team for more Friday Nights!

[@biggerdoofus]

I'm getting an unglued vibe from the cards in the intro. In theory, Kathleen would allow playing 2 copies of BFM (assuming I'm remembering the cost of BFM correctly), and Alex's third ability is basically chaos confetti without the ripping of cards.

[@ujai5271]

I like this Draft League idea... you should bring it back

[@EricChoiniere]

When I saw the back shot of Graham and Kathleen's heads next to each other, I was like "hey G&K is now Friday Nights canon! cool stuff" but in the front shots they're not really that close. Still, "yo Beej, you free?" makes up for that.

[@faydunkel7832]

Yes it's here. On a Friday no less.

[@socalwanderer4867]

Did you guys mean to say "Will ALEX get his Earthshaker Khenra token?" in the description?

[@MJFSIXTEEN]

Love how they incorporated the db chair into this

[@ExhaustedElox]

I shouldn't have laughed as long and as hard as I did when Beej showed up, but I did, and I would again.

[@chunpingqiao7558]

YYYEEEEESSSSS ANOTHER EPISODE!!!!

[@castlewise]

I don't understand the timeline. Its 4PM at the end of the video, so either they are already way past what James thought was the 9AM "start" time, or they were planning to start on the next day, in which case they still have an hour before the actual start.

[@deliciousfirstsip]

great as always

[@allisonwatson3837]

Just noticed the video description says paul is looking for the token.

[@mason8002]

I LOVE FRIDAY NIGHTS THUMBS UP IF YOU DO TO. THE PROFESSOR IS AWESOME TOO

[@brothersofthebackrow]

Yesss finally! So happy

[@BiscuitsBox]

Awesome! Definitely the best in a while.

[@Geek4All]

I feel like this episode was a good one to use to try and win a bet on "Bet you can't get Dubious Challenge in a video without only discussing how unplayable and awful it is. Edit: But, it was awesome as always!

[@Woodthorn]

Isn't the point value of the card a comment on how unplayable and awful it is?

[@Geek4All]

True. The higher the points, the more unlikely it is to be good, and therefore used. It just feels like something they would be dared to use since it's almost a meme at this point of how bad that card is.

[@commodorjack8633]

the cam planeswalker is so good

[@Lolasaur0]

Anyone else doing this point system?! This is the best thing ever!

[@KaguyaQuincy]

Random comment. Missy's hair is always so amazing.

[@gragsmash]

One of the suggested vids from this has a thumbnail of Marshall in front of the golden castle thingy. POINT!

[@BismuthBorealis]

Swords to ploughshares is awesome.

[@christophersongarcia8052]

Love Missie and her smile

[@TomGalonska]

Pauls planeswalker is a better Karn, i like it. :D (and i know that this is intentional) The -14 could become relevant if your opponent is really annoying. :D But the best flavour goes clearly to Cams planeswalker, it's just fitting

[@pokemonblast65]

hooray they mentioned super sentai and probably know about Kamen Rider. Also the card Hour of devastation only slightly slows down the gods from hour of devastation.

[@michaelnaramore9310]

Can't wait to see the episode for the commander 2017 I mean there has to be one Kathleen finally has possible cat commanders plus Arahbo plus step lynx XD makes the joke even better

[@penderrin1637]

"yo been u free?" the delivery is very good

[@danielb.8856]

I love the "Everything is fine" reference :D

[@maxTheOG]

god bless Beej for educating people about the evils of robotech

[@Luckystarmtg]

Love the Robotech joke.

[@FunkyAbigail]

Robotech is my favourite anime.

[@TA10man]

After all but 60 seconds of research I found that Alex was closest with the bird call.

[@Winterpandacookies]

I used to play Puzzle Quest, but then I had a university lifestyle and I also needed room in my phone for Fire Emblem Heroes

[@WTAlday1117]

OH MY GOD, I lost my S*** when Beej started talking about Macross!!!

[@Thrythlind]

How many points do you get if your brother visits you in Japan, you go to Fushimi Inari Shrine and he points to a side path early on says "Nobody's going that way, let's go that way?" and you spend the next three hours walking up the maintenance paths along the back of the mountain and taking stairs that rarely if ever get used much less maintained and you end up at the top of the mountain and the shrine through some sheer luck that didn't see getting lost in circles fifty feet away from someone's backyard on the mountain?

[@zeroeleven6551]

Appreciate Graham's TCC T-shirt

[@ModestMcMichaels]

"5 points if they show discernible facial response to a Rich Hagan pun." Boom roasted

[@sheesh8831]

Amazing as always, but i NEED that song when alex is looking for the token

[@namelessjoe27]

Paul, your sloth shirt is magical. Where can I find one?

[@easilycrazyhat]

Dear god...Beeg has gone Super Weeb.... ...I love it.

[@SgtDax]

1 point for a photo at the golden pavilion. 100 points for a photo at the golden pavilion taken from literally any other angle than the one Beej showed.

[@Type_One___]

No bullspit..... I would legitimately love to do a PT fantasy league draft

[@nintendo917]

I wanna see Kathleen freak out about Cat Tribal being viable in Standard as well as the new Cat commander in Commander 2017

[@captainsoup868]

So sad that protour Alex's Kitchen was canceled due to covid

[@lihavnaaman6872]

yayyyyyy the bessst thing everrr

[@xcallumx141]

beej would aprecciate marshlog blogcliffe - GP kyoto part's thumbnail

[@gavinli1368]

I think the description needs to be fixed. It says that Paul is the one looking for an Eternalized Earthshaker Khenra token, not Alex.

[@Kizer5Red]

Please do a sketch for the new un set, and also for the older ones too

[@jamesfowler206]

God this is awesome

[@zimmermanjohn3797]

Whevener I see a new Friday nights episode a little pee comes out

[@Alchemistmerlin]

I would. I would like to see the photos.

[@vertech8704]

Beej is my spirit animal

[@michaela71]

Looking at the fake planeswalker cards makes me wish LRR had a hand in the latest Unset.

[@faydunkel7832]

So they are planing on starting to watch the pro tour at 9, but they are there at 16. So are they 17 hours early for day two?

[@iloveReginaSpektor]

Okay, not related to magic at all, who's alphabear pillow is that and how do I obtain one? I didn't know there was merch for alphabear

[@DevilDenRecords]

I just noticed graham rocking tolarian community college shirt.

[@jek__]

2:04 I wasn't familiar with any song by Eiffel 65 other than that annoying and popular one, but this has a really cool sound

[@Somuntioalt]

Funny thing, Alex is actually right about the Hoopoe singing sound :)

[@b3ans4eva]

Yay Beej!

[@halogrizzhand]
