[@gkiyo]

Can't believe they're having mono-W commander night w/o wheeler, look at all these people whose evening won't be ruined.

[@proffapoluga2573]

Someone forgot Gaffer is a totally legal commander card

[@oliverreeves8395]

first thought i had when i saw the thumbnail!

[@Markvdorow]

Wheeler's cards were all on their decka

[@vajazzlerthis]

Planned that way I bet it was

[@D-Skotes]

I'm more upset there wasn't any Kamigawa representation

[@janmelantu7490]

For those wondering about the voting variants, there are currently 4: - Will of the Council: the original, where each player votes for something and you do the thing with the most votes or tied - Will of the Planeswalkers: a variant of Will of the Council for Planechase games, voting for Planeswalk or Chaos - Council’s Dilemma: each player votes for something, and you do a thing for each choice - Secret Council: votes are made in secret

[@bigwig8657]

I love how Grahams intro of "I'm the bad guy" was just his Wheeler impression 😂

[@lordmeep5803]

What a squad! Y’all rock, I do not support the reserve list for buttons but white border buttons would be so funny

[@tristanpelkey9109]

Do you possibly have links to mono black and mono blue?

[@papaUrabrask]

I love the mono colors but my god would I throw my beloved grandma into Mt Doom without a second of thought for "Oops All Dragons" where everyone does a dragon commander.

[@kingfuzzy2]

So euphoric to see my favorite colour in magic finally represented on lrr!!!!

[@TsunadeKamaii]

"I'm just here to take game actions" should be the next button

[@KC_Enthusiast]

It would be intensely funny if reprint buttons had a white border.

[@Aybara2010]

Or a silver one XD

[@kevinwestermann1001]

@@Aybara2010 Only the REALLY silly ones should be silver bordered.

[@kevinwestermann1001]

And boxed reprint sets of the buttons get gold border?

[@Aybara2010]

I'd love a newsletter done in the style of the Nsberg local paper

[@liveforlife8109]

I literally went back and watched red and green last night pondering when you would do another

[@kingfuzzy2]

The blue one was absolutely hilarious

[@FrankiePeanuts]

I can't seem to find the blue one.

[@fenixmeaney6170]

​@@FrankiePeanutsit's the one with crim

[@FrankiePeanuts]

@@fenixmeaney6170 Thank you.

[@FrankiePeanuts]

Have they done mono Black yet?

[@Rook986]

After the last mono color night, do a 5 color commander game!

[@JAWNSKI317]

You mean regular commander? 😉

[@DeronHargrove]

This please!

[@telamyr2010]

I'm so glad Kemba is getting some representation. She's cool. Great games, gentlemen. It looked like everyone had fun, for the most part.

[@caw555]

I'd be very curious to learn what % of games Ben wins whenever LRR do a non-precon commander episode. It feels like he consistently shows up with a deck that's head and shoulders above everyone else's, and consistently wins.

[@pipchimpin3]

I noticed that aswell

[@Stevetr0n]

They've played 12 games with Ben not on a precon this year, he's won 9 of them and tied with Wheeler in one. So he's at over 75% win rate this year. Really starting to suck some of the fun out of these.

[@Stupidexport]

I'm really trying to get into their commander content but it's just not fun watching him steam roll every game. :(

[@caw555]

@@Stevetr0n thanks for checking. oof.

[@daviddanielgregson]

Yeah I don't want to watch it if they keep turning up with the sweatiest decks...

[@poikl73]

Love nelson's lil "boompile" whisper to the camera at 18:20

[@aririran7749]

Love the vid but………. No wheeler?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Doest matter tho love all these peeps too ❤

[@thesleepershark4265]

10:15 You guys should do a commander game in which you do all the legendary meld cards.

[@mattperkinson9604]

I love radiant solar, I want to use it with the vampire that lets you pay a black when you gain life to return a creature from grave to hand and just power through the dungeon over and over.

[@markbrierley6367]

Are you aware of the Rooftop Storm + Acererak infinite combo? Seems easier if dungeon speed running is all you're trying to do.

[@mattperkinson9604]

Yes, I’m aware of it. But this one can be done at instant speed which is useful. Also, it lets you go through the tomb of horrors, which you can’t do with acererak.

[@jdlazin]

I randomly found Serge's equipment deck while bored and poking around Moxfield one night. I wanted to try it after playing his equipment canlander deck. After shuffling up a hand and playing a few turns I had to pause and ask myself, "Is this Serge's cat deck!?"

[@drunkgerbil9962]

Man I love the CanLander boys playing Commander. Serge learning about Skeleton Key + Indestructible Horses was great to see!

[@rookieblue3294]

the camera changes after the commercial break and nobody knowing where to look was hilarious lol, great episode guys

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you.

[@estebanrodriguez5409]

Graham: Oh I'm still playing bears... BEARS OF HATE

[@StressHead95]

Ben's deck is so sweet, immediately got me wanting to brew my own version

[@semperignotus]

oh no Graham with the dog joke. I lost it at that

[@lordderyk]

I absolutely love the Judge Vibes of Nelson and Serge discussing how to best take Serge's turn and, ultimately, coming down to, "I guess it really doesn't matter". XD

[@PSroka]

Serge 's One More Cat is the best thing I've ever heard

[@isochronik]

Bens decklists are usually great, but this one in particular is sick!

[@SLiV9]

"... so I said it sounds like he's just feeding cat tokens to Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and then his commander started crying."

[@vantharion]

32:46 Man Ben, I wish they made Irencrag into a DFC because it's so much simpler The Irencrag Legendary Artifact T: Add C Whenever a legendary creature ETBs under your control, you may transform ~. ----- Everflame, Heroes Legacy Legendary Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature gets +3/+3 Equip 3. Also Everflame is a really uninteresting weapon.

[@Whitewingdevil]

New hoodie just as we head into spring? Sign me the hell up!

[@rosebarter6031]

Yoooo, the straight and narrows are soooo good, good taste Ben!

[@Goggledguy]

I'm just impressed that Cameron isn't there, they really committed to being mono white

[@zcipher]

I appreciate Graham's commitment to the bit.

[@Slagomancer]

It actually feels wrong not having Wheeler on the Mono-White vid

[@paultuck]

My third favourite thing bout Serge playing Commander is watching him play Kitchen Finks in a mono white/mono green deck. Though to be fair he only did that twice and now seems to get the colour identity restriction in commander, which is absent from Canlander.

[@DuncanEllis]

wow - this makes me want to dig out my favourite mono white deck, first strike tribal headed by Kwende, Pride of Femeref. I call it "Arthur Scargill"

[@AutkastKain]

I have now found my Christmas present. I love that hoodie

[@AtomicFruitFly]

A fun play in game 1 with a wrath and Boombile would have been to cast wrath with Boompile activation ready. Ben would have been forced to choose how to use the indestructible effects very carefully to not have activating Boompile in response sweep most things. Of course, who knoes if Nelson had the mana to make thag play in one turn

[@pvtpain66k]

I feel like Irrencrag should have been a transform card, that has a "can't change back" clause.

[@N1GHTH4WK986]

Graham: “I’m just here to take game actions.” In my group, that’s a call to be attacked with being told, “Incentive to do better!”

[@cronnie994]

My recent monowhite deck is dog and horse. monowhite partners that get started quick. love the deck

[@magnetronman298]

Yoshimaru and keleth?

[@cronnie994]

Yup. I probably should have been more specific with that. It has been a real fun deck to play.@@magnetronman298

[@adiuntesserande6893]

It's the Friday White Paper Fight!

[@HiCallMeRusty]

I think all that's left now is Mono Black right? If anyone wants to play a fun and old legend for that, I recommend Volrath, the Fallen!

[@lijesewell764]

Ah, but what about Mono Colorless. I think that'd be entertaining

[@kingfuzzy2]

Genericana would be great

[@kingfuzzy2]

Generic mana would be great

[@HalftardEddie]

My friend has a Marisi, Breaker of the Coil voltron deck he calls "Cats With Thumbs"

[@NIGHTMARE4294]

Spoilers i guess Good to see graham having as much mana available on turn one of game two as at the end of game one.

[@TalenLee]

It's amazing hearing them all say eirengreg around 15:20

[@slothgregory]

Noticed lots of vancouver island products and chat then you mentioned yellowjacket... are you guys located on the island 😮 hometown heroes for me if so.

[@anthonylocker599]

I love Ben's new haircut. It does remind me of James for some reason, though.

[@mangoalias608]

33:37 timestamp that graham doesnt want you to see

[@marmelade95]

The description says Wheeler for Serge's deck in the decklist

[@justapersonontheinternet]

Episode was a banger although there was a distinct lack of wheeler

[@lostmarble540]

I guessed skullclamp for the urza's saga trigger since he had high market as a sac outlet, which was pretty close to what he actually got

[@pauloduarte5346]

Every time I hear Serge saying "kitty", I think of Boo from Monsters Inc.

[@tomcloward7036]

Can't wait for mono-black!

[@Fourleggedfreak]

54:41 Nice MIA reference 😎🤘

[@Sabinmoon]

Kemba, her arms open (Like armaments. its a ST joke. Please laugh)

[@RvEijndhoven]

I will laugh, not simply because you asked me to, but also because it was funny.

[@Bleesotron]

Aww, no love for the draft commons commander that is Odric, Lunarch Marshal. You ever want to kill someone with Segovian Angel and Healer's Hawk? He's your man.

[@stratuvarious8547]

White and Red were the weakest by far, but the gap has been closed in the last couple years. They still might be the weakest, but it's more of a fight now. Which is good. It's nice to see parity amongst the colors.

[@omnibusdriver3139]

Please tell me somebody has called Graham’s deck “Hate-Bear Force One” at some point

[@Durtaz]

Love the dash of Joey puns

[@kilo3989]

59:49 is delightful 😂

[@spikysmoothness]

White discard in Innistrad would be to enable Delirium, right? Or am I guessing wrong here

[@Mordalon]

It was for Delirium in Shadows, and in Midnight Hunt it worked with Disturb.

[@erinaxel8562]

Also madness

[@99wattr89]

These decks were a bit too imbalanced. Ben's deck was just so much stronger than the others that it wasn't really a competition.

[@DeadneckL]

Are yall going to go through all the color combinations eventually?

[@TheOnlyOrk]

this makes me wanna pick up a celestene, bens deck looked cool. Just wish she weren't so expensive

[@camerondomer]

Did Serge play Kitchen Finks?

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

Notification gang! Reanimator too good! felt bad for Nelly and Graham.

[@lelandwhitehead56]

Spoiling the rest of the notification gang…

[@zimmercj]

If you can get it to pop off Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice and Aura shenanigans is fun for you, annoying for your friends.

[@shawntate7055]

Is anyone drinking milk? Well they forgot the HOT MILK SUMMER!

[@shaneportis520]

Does anyone know what commander and cards they were talking about that Ben said was his first one? Can’t find them on Scry

[@mihaicasator4221]

Hokori, Dust Drinker

[@ANitschkeProduction]

monoWhite for the win!

[@TheCrimsonYoshi]

Ben's drink sounds so nice.

[@mathewsloat6848]

Idk how anyone can watch the button reprint bit and think these guys are WotC shills.

[@Flickstro]

If Serge's 1/1 double striker was Adorned Pouncer, the big brain play would have been to have it die to Norn, then eternalize it. Then again, I'm sure he had better things to do than spend seven mana on what would've been a 2/2 lol

[@crawdaddy2004]

Did Nelson cast his commander at any point?

[@agentgrimm]

Huh. Four mono-white commanders and no Teferi's Protection.

[@Wreckonning]

how did no one suggest "cats in hats" or the equipment/cats deck?

[@Mordalon]

puss in boots is right there.

[@Olivia-ev9hk]

Is Graham intentionally trying to sound like Professor Whiskers when he meows?

[@stratuvarious8547]

It's a real shame this wasn't 3 Elesh Norns vs. Thalia.

[@ZynikerV]

*looks at title* *looks at run time* So about 3/4 of a game XD

[@benmanchester7671]

I need more Paul

[@17klop]

For anyone who's wondering why extort cards are fine in mono colored deck, it's because the orzov mana symbol is in the reminder text of the card, reminder text is just on the card to remind people of what the card does and doesn't effect the rules text of the card.

[@Mordalon]

Extort also isn't the first time mana symbols have appeared in reminder text. Soul Burn's original printing also uses the Red mana symbol while the oracle text just says "red mana".

[@ashdog9235]

2:10 white border?

[@rkk667]

It is always a 50 50 chance!

[@MNman87]

who's Edmonton?

[@ashdog9235]

10:21 based

[@kieranwouter2361]

And it has extort.

[@miyokohirosuke9164]

This is what you get for ignoring Ben. Should not of taken focus off of him.

[@Scud422]

I have conceded in response to lethal before so the attacking player didn't gain life, but I did it because they were already in a big lead and I wanted the other players to have more of a chance. Does that still make me a jerk?

[@crowsephonedangerzone]

crested sunmare beat my ass at gp minneapolis three times in the first four rounds of standard

[@petrseghman4283]

One more "Where is Wheeler" shout. Great video, great ppl tho!

[@jamesmccaffrey9042]

Engage

[@markbrierley6367]

Almost done with game 1. Ben has targeted a shrouded creature with Duelist's Heritage. He has missed venturing into the dungeon off creatures entering the battlefield after the Radiant Solar. To be fair, it's a very complex game state and neither of those mistakes would have altered the result.

[@heartofgoldfish]

Missed opportunity for the perfect Iona, Shield of Emeria commander deck

[@HaywireZombie84]

She's banned

[@Mordalon]

missed on purpose.

Engagement and interaction with creator to please the mathemagics that choses what gets seen or not.

Man, it's not fun w/o Wheeler, but I dunno how to fit in all the people I love in a 4 player game. How about 2 headed commander?
