It was such a blast to see this amazing game of friends simply having fun! Your laugh is super contagious Alan thanks for making my day. :)

[@agentkoos1996]

Quick question, with your first saruman trigger, with the draw trigger on the stack, why didn't you cast prof's arcane denial and counter lae'zel? Would've given you the mastermind trigger, had Ron chosen to draw 2, and would've meant that you didn't whiff the trigger. Otherwise enjoyed the game so much. Love the deck

[@MentalMisplay]

@@agentkoos1996 possibly didn't see the line in the moment, or maybe didn't wanna harsh on one player too hard. Don't remember. Could have been either.

LET’S GO HENZIE ♥️♥️♥️ I used Maldhound’s guide to upgrade my Henzie deck, and it’s been so much fun 😭 can’t wait to see it in action!!

[@CaptainAwesome1692]

I recently discovered Maldhound. He makes some very, very funny content. Ron seems pretty cool even though I've never heard of her. This will hopefully be a cool game.

[@travishester6859]

Cool of you guys to invite the local Elvis impersonator to play with you guys

[@MentalMisplay]

He's alright.

[@LoZfan03]

MentalMisplay: This is my favorite card that synergizes perfectly with my commander, I would rather you destroy any other card in my entire deck than this card. Prof: I couldn't hear you over all of the words on that card

[@OtherSideLLC]

Considering Christopher Lee was a British Spy/Nazi Hunter who may have inspired his cousin Ian Flemming for James Bond and courted a Swedish Countess, he has most definitely worn a top hat

[@thatstypicalty6813]

God he was such a badass. Plus did you know he made his own metal band later in life? It was after LotR and he even made a metal Christmas albun

[@jarrakul]

He's also played approximately every villain you've ever heard of. Like if you told me he'd literally played Snidely Whiplash at some point, I'd simply believe you.

[@g00bers24]

What?

[@kirkprospector4958]

I always think about the story of him correcting Peter Jackson on how someone getting stabbed would sound because he had heard it in person before.

The Professor centering the card in the sleeve was an answer to my prayers it was driving me nuts too 😂

[@remembertobreathe66]

Poll: What drives you crazy in a game? 1) cards not centered in sleeves 2) white bordered cards 3) tapping permanents in both directions 4) playing with lands in front 5) flicking cards

​@@remembertobreathe66 All of them besides white bordered cards. Because they are cheaper than black bordered cards.

[@maidenless_tarnished]

I know exactly how Maldhound's cards were at the top of the sleeve. I have two friends that somehow manage to shuffle half of their deck upside down (to this day we still don't know how they manage to do it) and when you smack the deck to align it, the cards get pushed to the top of the sleeve

[@datastorm17]

I have to say Prof had this convoluted plan about secrecy and subterfuge when he came up with the format and nobody else had the same idea lol

[@supersam6656]

Imagine spice, maldhound, and kyle hill on shuffle up and play. The chaos would be insane

[@smeatar]

This channel really has become the standard by which I judge all other channels because it is just so perfect. It has fun effects but they aren’t too in your face, they read the text of the cards out loud so I know what’s happening, they have the sound of shuffling and playing cards but it’s not too loud like some other channels (card market in particular gets to me in this regard), they have comedy but it is secondary to the game, they have inside jokes but they are very minimal so it’s not off putting for new viewers, and I could probably list another dozen or so things that this channel does great but I think the point has been made
