March of the Machine Precons | Commander VS | Magic: the Gathering Gameplay

[@MunchKING]

I like how Jon IMMEDIATELY tries to planeswalk away from the plane that's trying to do what his deck wants to do.

[@AgonalRhythm]

Admittedly, he says "it's not good right now". This makes sense, why not try for a plane that would ramp or be better for set up early game instead?

[@thegammingbolaschannel7529]

You have a free roll so why not go for it. He just got very unlucky

[@famousstranger8468]

Because he's on the plane that benefits him... Which means any other plane is also not good so why waste the effort in changing instead of doing constructive with his turn

[@AgonalRhythm]

@@famousstranger8468 they have side decks with planes that benefit their own decks. Any other plane they go to, could be beneficial. By the time the plane is likely to benefit him, the others will have tried to planeswalk away anyway.

[@armadyllan2351]

I love how Stephen just never loots with his commander in the command zone XD

[@DKKiller581]

He likely forgot it was just a trigger that happens even when they are in the command zone

[@TheBigPenguu]

That absolutely needs to be a shirt. New season, same spite. Awesome.

[@MD_JamDar]

love the precon episodes, always feels balanced and fun to watch as a viewer! and the editing has been fantastic lately, keep the good work up editor

[@nickjoseph77]

Insert RedFernGrows meme of their three heads on Phyrexian Rager chasing Corey with his little ranger's bow and arrow. Lol

[@sonicdueler]

I came to see what Brimaz is like pn board, and didnt even get to see he played

[@johnlaurencepatulan9822]

Wow! The editing of this game is top notch. Kudos to your video editors. Stay inspired!

[@Revanaver91]

Drives me nuts that after 13 minutes and three turns we still haven’t gotten a deck tech for Stephen. Begging ya’ll to bring back the deck techs at the top and stop doing them in the middle of things

[@mitchellbaker4847]

Definately miss the old deck techs.

[@DaniMol]

100% I really dislike when gameplay is interrupted, it's the reason why I never watch Game Nights, and it sucks they've gone this route.

Linking to the planeschase rules woulda been a great addition to the links.

[@fuhby3315]

​@@Smaul002 Since convoke isn't a very well supported mechanic (yet) there are pretty bad cards in the procon like Conclave Equinaut.

[@gregboulton8230]

First precon game of the new set!! Let’s go!

[@aaronmcclain2088]

The 2 decks I'm looking forward to playing is the knights and the temur deck with the commander switched to Rashmi and Ragavan

[@taylorjohnson5148]

I’m the same. I also want the back up one. The other two precons I’d like at a steep discount haha

[@MaxMckayful]

Count me is as pro-Planechase (a.k.a.) pro-fun. So hyped for this episode.

[@TehUberNoobz]

I appreciate the camera work on following the die as it's rolled. Good Stuff!

[@Jchmcom]

I was waiting for Jon to have a Swords in hand. "Wait, you attacked him? I get a token!" *Swords* "Neigh. I say NEIGH, good sir. Be gone with your horse."

[@DarkDragon665]

As someone who doesn't normally wear headphones, I never realised how annoying the music is. With the amount of complaints it's gotten, why is it even still in the episodes? On another note, the interactions this game were much better than last season (in my opinion), so I'm hoping this keeps up! Great to see the new decks, too.

[@remembertobreathe66]

29:53 I appreciate Stephen still fighting the good fight against the world's pen beavers.

[@Ariaoff.Limits]

"new season, same spite" - Steven Green guarantee

[@TheMitchninja88]

I just love this channel the most. The chemistry you all have is great.

[@ryboland8200]

Jeremys wurm only triggers when the counters are put on 'another' creature, no? EDIT: never mind! I now realize that the text of the card is still... on the card. :)

[@chloop1330]

Always love the watching commander vs, but I miss when they used to have people submit memes that they would show off at the beginning of the episode

[@keithfilibeck2390]

Lol at that pointless swords on Green's Commander, Corey has seemingly zero board awareness most games, with Jeremy for like 2 turns saying "I'm going to attack Corey".

[@jacobtgomes]

Jeremy with the Jem and the Holograms reference!! I love that show so much!! It's so good. Got done dirty by the movie.

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you.

[@x1PMac1x]

Corey's misplay with Gearhulk and Swords to Plowshares were SOOOOOOOO painful to watch. Just dub him Misplay Maniac.

[@justchillin5031]

That was a pretty good judge, dread

[@NaviTheMD]

Shouldnt commander dmg be display on the player having the commander dmg ?

[@kylemcc5887]

@28:00 literally takes Corey appox 6 minutes to resolve 1 spell. Cmon man

[@dragnaldave2639]

path of the schemer at 30.34m, you see Stephen say nothing about his Knight Syr Elenore, know he probably wouldnt want it but didnt even show as a option for Corey

[@ibstrummin2]

for the record.. i was curious too about the move John did at roughly 18:30.. responding to a plane change. so i looked it up. when you roll the planar die, rolling plane change, or chaos triggers the effect on the card, and that trigger is stack governed.. in other words. what he did was 100% legal

[@danielsinclair9263]

Not going to lie, was confused and shocked in why Jeremy was in that seating position 😜. (I’m team Jeremy)

[@AgonalRhythm]

I love all the planechase y'all played in the past. Just like you had partners and Planeswalkers as commanders ahead of the curve in the past, you brought planechase into commander first as well!

[@shawnminer4355]

Corey "I'm not a problem." He's been a problem since day one. If only he didn't waste another removal spell

[@gerardvandongen8095]

why is Corey not playing his commander? :/

[@elvincortez1484]

I’m excited for the divine convocation deck

[@Terell672]

AHHH Hamiliton shirt!!!! I love it!

[@Rococorico]

Really interesting how Planechase affected the game. I'd love to see the decks functioning without those, but I guess every precon gameplay will also include them.

[@jamesdowning5806]

Corey needs to be replaced with someone who is more familiar with playing MTG.

[@josiahsantos6286]

New season same spite lol 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@elbiggamehunter]

Corey snatching those cards and bending them up made me shudder lol

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

I wish you guys would go back to doing the deck techs before the game. Especially when you are playing with brand new commanders.

[@riotxcore6108]

Does Jon know the Gremlin token counts itself, otherwise the commander would be pretty bad ...

[@scifoncra6376]

yo mr editor, it's not Sidar, Jabari of Zhalfir. There's no comma there. His name is Jabari and he's a Sidar from Zhalfir. edit: Jeremy's pronounciation of Megaflore Jungle was funny af. And it's Kasla, not Kaalia.

[@ay0and0jay]

Corey looks like he played a couple rounds of golf under the Florida sun.

[@MrBojangles1984]

The Green Ranger rules. RIP JDF

[@IamJoshEast]

I just wanted to see the convoke deck

[@kingfuzzy2]

Me too thanks but at least we got to see a snippet of the other cool deck gremlin tribal

[@Hollowquinn]

Soooo.....idk about anybody else but imma grab that Knights Deck unblockable creatures is definitely vibing for me

[@jacobslutsky9502]

When John makes his first gremlin token I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a 3/3

[@kyleboyden664]

Come to Boston, MA

[@nathanpatterson9913]

Hey corey ha e you heard a thing called your commander. You try casting it.

[@HutchTheWolf]

I gotta call you guys out. How do y’all *not* have a SitCom-style intro?

[@SCGCommander]

Like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpTZZnWQhrh5eNE

[@nik700]

I wonder if Jon plays with the artifact deOH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

[@kingfuzzy2]

He did it hoping it was gremlin tribal but was almost okay with artifact/ token deck

[@MunchKING]

Truely, Truely, TRUELY Outrageous? He doesn't look like JEM OR a Hologram to me.

[@jesseenns2760]

Anyone know the ruling on responding to planchasing? I believe rolling the dice is part of the abilities resolution (like most coin flips).

[@KaldarisX]

Correct. You can't make decisions until after the die has been rolled. But once the die is rolled, you can respond to any relevant triggers as a result of the die roll. Rolling the Planar Die is a special action that can't be responded to unless it's the result of something like Fractured Powerstone.

[@skykur]

The gremlin token counts itself as a unique token. Should have gotten 3 counters

[@kingfuzzy2]

Hoping for cromat and related low-powered throwbacks

[@mikieayers357]

How does the comment section feel about these precons ? Order all of them, and this game was fun to watch.

58:15 but if Steven save Cory would of he have hit every one for like 10 plus damage because of Cory killing everything with Sir Comrade I think Cory would die from it

[@FoldyHold]

Stephen - least petty edh player

[@Sea_pollock]

I feel bad for the director having to edit all the off camera dice rolls lol

[@Acidblack027]

What points system do they use?

[@markbrierley6367]

4 points for first place, 3 for second, 2 for third, 1 for fourth, -1 for a search that takes longer than 40s and additional -1 for every 30 in that same search, -1 for killing the person in last place in points before anyone else is knocked out unless there's a tie for last place, -1 for never casting your commander, 1 for casting your commander from the command zone 4 times, 1 for directly preventing a player's death other than your own. Think that's it. Didn't look it up.

[@Oakenbull]

Be careful when you talk about "Fun With the Worm"

I'll be the guy who Corey is mentioning at the end of the video. ERRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH *knuckles cracking Sometimes ya'll miss triggers, it's fine. Sometimes Corey makes a face that looks super punchable, but he seems like a good friend and a cool dude. I got to fist bump Jon and Steven in Vega; you guys are awesome! Keep making great content!

COLLABORATION Lets get a list of my top guests who I would personally like to see: Posty, Reid, LSV, Josh from Playing with Power, BlackNeato, MTGNerdGirl, Melissa DeToro, any of the recurring people from I Hate Your Deck. Ya'll could use spelltable and some editing to drop any of them into a video. We are stronger together Much Love!!!!!

Was thinking the same + not casting his commander once while playing kinda phyrexian tribal with artifacts and he misscounted them for zyst🙈

[@patrice2847]

A rule we play while playing planechase is there's no responding to the planar abilities and you must roll atleast once each turn and last one is if the planes says destroy all creature it does so regardless if they are indestructible or not. Basicly whatever it says you do and it happends.

[@sinistrdairy2971]

It's called playing around and having fun. I vibe with Corey as do a lot of other people

[@ShroudedBlade]

I mean if this is the level of childish that most mtg players got up to, that would be great. Instead, too many yell and scream and storm off if this don't go their way. And Corey is merely reacting in kind to Steven's childish, "Um, actually, we get to see all of those cards!" So yeah, Jon didn't deserve that, but Steven did.
