How was THAT for a precon BATTLE? And yes, I know the Warhammer precons are already out. What commanders should we feature from those ones???

[@thomasmckeen2498]

I vote for one of Lucea or Imotekh... also is that a new logo? Great game btw!

[@valiantcoffee]

I would love to see a Ghyrson Starn deck. Just such a fun ability, especially in Izzet

[@hotdachsbun]

Marneus Calgar v Magus Lucea Kane v Abaddon the Despoiler v Imotekh the Stormlord

[@ryangoodenow2518]

Fun game

[@starry-dazed]

Seems like the necron one is the other commander. Same with the counters precon and token one. I myself bought the cascade precon. Friends did a 40k battle last night, and they were all pretty powerful out of the box. Hope you guys do a video with them

[@RemiWR86]

""A Samurai slipping out the back!? Where is your honor!?" that had me rolling

[@QMTG]

Hahahhaa there was NO HONOR

[@kairucamp]

I feel sorry for Esmond that his friends get randomly possessed by mtg entities and random heroic spirits. Stay strong 😗👍👍

[@QMTG]

Keeps my life interesting

[@Alwayz114]

The epic battle between THE CHOSEN ONE CHAMPION, May Or May Not Matt, Jared Remembers, and, uh, Esmond

[@QMTG]

😁

[@highdark4]

I consistently say your channel is the MOST underrated EDH channel here. Bravo on another excellent entry! Will join the Patreon.

[@QMTG]

Wow, thank you!! Much appreciated!

[@wilsongoh2088]

Always great to see that players being able to showcase what their decks can do instead of the boring staples all the time when not limited by budget

[@avatarofpapermagic]

Matthew saying 'YESSSSSS' when Esmond copped the Kava stampede and The Chosen One responding to Matthew earlier in the game with the slip out the back 'Its a tactical retreat' had me laughing so hard

[@QMTG]

Hahahha yeah that was hilarious

[@Boasty87]

How have I not found you guys before!! Excellent video! I shall be going back through all you old ones!!

[@LennoxHaynes21]

THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING ONNNN!!!! This is officially my favorite commander channel that I’m subscribed to 💯🙏🏾💯

[@QMTG]

Aww THANKSSSS

[@frankurmom8741]

You guys are awesome. One of the best game play channels right now!

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@redfortune850]

Matthew and Gabriel's cosplays were on point! This one was a treat to watch

[@QMTG]

Hahahahaha. Glad you enjoyed!

[@starry-dazed]

New video!!!! My wife even enjoys listening to you guys. She has even stated of all the content creators yall are the best. Keep it up

[@QMTG]

Omg that's awesome! Will do!

[@CubbyTv24]

@20:19 im pretty sure the nightmare Sheppard still makes the enchantments as 1/1 nightmare tokens regardless of what values it copies.

[@razielthedamn4301]

Nope, Nightmare Shepherd doesnt give creature type to the copy, so it wont be a creature.

[@Richuardo]

That was really entertaining, especially since the precons were able to hang with the brewed decks! I thought Matthew was going to get the win, but it was cool to see the five color deck bring the Pain.

[@QMTG]

Tetsuo saved us lol

[@michaelcho6484]

Absolutely love this channel and that intro was HILARIOUS! keep it up!

[@KenLeonhardt]

As a new EDH player your explanations and visuals really helped so much. Subbed!

[@QMTG]

You’re welcome! And thanks!!

[@ryangoodenow2518]

Martin was a fun addition to your lineup

[@QMTG]

Thanks! He's a cool dude

[@andrewroy5677]

Epic game! Always love the action, great to see the Chosen One, and great to meet Martin!

[@QMTG]

Yes!! Thanks!

[@aymanmz]

Small note, but Cadric isn't restricted to copying creature legendaries. He can copy any legendary permanent, including Dihada

[@QMTG]

🤯

[@aymanmz]

@@QMTG I had a similar reaction haha. Being able to negative Dihada twice in a row can really turn a game around for you

[@grumpfrog8602]

I've watched a lot of live plays before, but I think this is the first time I've ever thought that i actually wanted to play with the people I'm watching. You guys have such a fun vibe, really enjoying your content

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@mahubii]

That was a great game! I love it when you give precons a try. I bought the Dihada precon as well and am currently struggling with how to upgrade it. I'd love to go the same way Matthew did with turning up the graveyard synergies but it's not really working out so far. Super fun commander, though. I'd love to see her pop off.

[@QMTG]

Good luck! Just keep working on it :)

[@olivergre1054]

Awesome as always. Matt must be focused ofc, for he is the best.

[@OvenfreshDeth]

This is the first video I’ve ever watched from this channel, and I’m liking this a lot! You’ve earned a sub!

[@QMTG]

Awesome, thank you!

[@regail7143]

That was so cool! Really good job guys, awesome content as usual.

[@QMTG]

THanks!!

[@kakaw1598]

Just recently started watching the channel, but very much one of my favorite ones to watch now, no matter the group you are playing with its always so fun to watch....and the card from the sleeve from Gabriel made me laugh for way too long

[@QMTG]

Hahahhaa that’s awesome. Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@OsamuWuVT]

first video i find of your channel and its the best question ever present in any commander game: "whats the problem" "well he's the problem" "i know but what" "whats the problem his face" that got me going so hard cause thats how my friends are lol

[@QMTG]

Hahahahaha yeah that was savageeee

[@raphsbabe7337]

Fantastic episode as always. You guys are awesome!

[@QMTG]

Aw thanks!!! 😊

[@cabellism]

Dam good episode. All of the decks looked alot of fun. Been working on a Zur Deck myself, and i see a few things i may borrow. Dihada is just fun to have.

[@QMTG]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@CosmicGiggalo]

The Kavus becoming 8/8s because of the Knight of New Alara was such a hot move. Knew then the deck would take it, that plus Xyris.

[@QMTG]

Yeah lol that was massive

[@hotdachsbun]

Great game. You guys are always very entertaining to watch.

[@QMTG]

THanks!!!

[@gregwylie3970]

This was a great game! Looking forward to the Warhammer episode that’s soon to come 😉

[@QMTG]

Soon!!!

[@thescale99]

First time visiting your channel. You guys are f*cking hilarious. Sub'd!

[@QMTG]

Nice, thanks!!

[@markusabelius]

I also own the same red Dihada hoodie that Matthew was wearing hehe. thanks, Uniqlo!

[@QMTG]

Lololol nice

[@steveallen590]

I wish I could have seen the samurai pop off more

[@nheimi99]

Fun, but not too indulgent, and you keep the pace going well throughout. Some channels keep too much conversation in, some cut it entirely, but I feel like you have a good balance between the two. Also, your editor is great. Excellent work.

[@QMTG]

As the editor, I thank you for your kind words. That’s exactly the balance I’m going for

[@mintifur]

Matthew dressing to match the commander is goals tbh

[@guilhermeviana3669]

Easily the best EDH channel on KZbin!

[@QMTG]

Aw thanks!

[@israelgonzalez840]

I love you guys. Great group of people from the looks of it.

[@QMTG]

Wow thanks!

[@_DaneB_]

Just found your channel! You guys are hilarious and deserve more subs!

[@eiigth]

The Chosen One is back!

[@QMTG]

He's always hanging around somewhere

[@y2aalkis606]

Wow, Red Riding Hood took a turn to the darkside, oof.

[@Citrusdiesel]

Just subscribed, y'all are alot of fun to watch!

[@thecucumbumberzubuni8929]

Amazing game!! (Just rewatched the video, love your content so much) Though one thing I noticed - at 44:17, wouldn't Gabriel's Arbiter survive due to protection from black?

[@danielcanobravo521]

I miss Zansher! I hope he's doing all right and we can see him again soon.

[@QMTG]

Yeah we'll get him back one day!

[@verenawongyulee2432]

If only matt lasted for 1 more turn! Ahh! Then he can gain control of everyone's nonland permanents !! 😢 But what an episode 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ptp1999]

Another brilliant game, well played all.

[@QMTG]

Thank you!

[@santajose]

Good episode, unexpected final

[@gaaragresnik4140]

Nice game so far ^^ Zur can give you really crazy plays, also Dihada so strong :D at the point there esmond got his enchantment creatures back, i think restoration of eiganjo had to return as its front side. And do you guys got matts hoodie regulary or extra made for the episode ? ^^

[@QMTG]

Thanks :) A *copy* of Restoration was created, that's why it entered as a creature. Matt has always had this hoodie hahaha

[@justiceblack1222]

I love the chosen one. I honestly look for chosen one gameplay

[@krlbcn]

Wow that rules thing in 20:15 I would've missed it pretty much every time lol

[@QMTG]

Lol yes we spent quite a bit of time checking up on that

[@blaineallen5297]

Awesome game!! So much fun

[@konata2893]

Jared remembered

[@QMTG]

Indeed he did

[@scarfhat1]

Gabriel's outfit goes kinda crazy

[@vikingAD]

Matthew is my favorite anime character. You never know what he’s up to. Very menacing

[@backgroundcharacter7987]

This episode was hilarious

[@greenneck5396]

Did they mention what the other two decks costed? It would be nice to know what budget they ended at vs the $100 upgrades

[@QMTG]

Deck lists in the description will show the most updated prices

[@tributarioalunos182]

Finaly a good Jared deck!!! Congrats

[@QMTG]

Oh yes it's PAINBOWwwww

[@tributarioalunos182]

@@QMTG for the painbow work we need more five colors efficient cards!! Becouse create a Kavu is not that much for a hability.

[@lazyliz7008]

I really appreciate the Dihada hoodie!

[@Ivad]

Jared Remembered

[@QMTG]

LOL yes he did

[@thetoastygoat_]

Matthew I think forgot about the discount from the Monument, so he should’ve been able to pay the 1 mana to copy Bladewing 11:30

[@QMTG]

Nope, he paid 6 instead of 7 and didn't have the additional one

[@thetoastygoat_]

@@QMTG I must’ve miscounted then, I would’ve swore he had 7 mana on the field

[@adamanderson7346]

It looks like a ton of editing went into this video. Great work

[@QMTG]

This and every other episode :) Thanks!

[@MrCrazycarlwinter]

Perhaps no budget, but limit how many cards can be swapped from the precon to keep its identity?

[@QMTG]

Yeah that’s a good idea

[@jeffjtk123]

Great game guys!

[@QMTG]

Thanks!

[@hreiarevarsson7900]

I kept saying "When will Martin put counters on the Kavus?"... I guess it's best to wait for it until you can hit a home run.

[@QMTG]

That's right

[@skykur]

I wanted him to put counters on Xyris, but I guess he was discarding to handsize anyway

[@spasarto]

Never change guys 💙

[@jacobdaubenspeck3217]

I love some 5 color pain!

[@travishester6859]

At 12:40, The Chosen One played an instant speed sorcery spell 😳

[@steam5hadow121]

Do Gabriel watch SMOSH "the chosen" xD looks a lot like it does xD with is amazingly fun!!!!

[@rafaellumrodas350]

Marneus Calgar is a beast!!!!!

[@mikemartin9345]

yes...Yes........YESSSS!!!!!!!

[@ironmarkus]

JARED REMEMBERS

[@QMTG]

FOREVERRR

[@chummer2060]

I always get a kick out of Gabriel...I mean, The Chosen One.

[@tributarioalunos182]

Any plans for Warhammer? McMillan driving the mono Black would Be evil!!!

[@holyday9516]

Finally gab… I mean the chosen one back again

[@dumbluck7752]

the chosen one yesssssss

[@tedgottfriedson]

I thought padem was protected from green black? Why did he die from the board wipe?

[@matty4100]

It is fitting that the group's greatest weeb be felled by basically MTG!Kenshin

[@godcardofgrace2724]

Matthew is the biggest weeb? I would have thought Gabriel

[@christopherfields6146]

Point of pride Matthew is the best ! Martin seems far to nice for this playgroup lol !!

[@QMTG]

He is an extremely nice dude that’s true

[@mousourider]

Please, use magar of the magic strings

[@simoncss1]

I’m a fan, (of) Gabriel the Chosen One. So, too bad, patreon Daniel Nguyen, you’re jus the Other Chosen One😬

[@theipadgamer9092]

Eternal screamer

[@isaacsmith3998]

I clearly do not understand menace. how could two menace attackers be blocked by two defending creatures?

[@xn85d2]

Because each defender could block multiple attackers due to the enchantment.

[@LennoxHaynes21]

ETERNAL SCREAMER
