[@Jettison42]

Whoever edited in the Tuxedo Mask theme after “But you didn’t do anything?” I see you and I love you

[@TeaGarrison]

Ancient memories unlocked.

[@jdlazin]

49:38 for anyone curious

[@natetwehues2428]

"I'm not the threatening one," Serge says the turn before he pulls through a five card combo that kills everyone else. And that's chat's cue to ask "why is everyone bullying Serge?"

[@twarnold14]

Eowyn: That doctor only looks like a human, but it’s an alien. Against these threats from the stars, will you help me, Li? Li, making synths to pretend to be humans: Yes. Of course. You can trust me. ~Cut across the battlefield~ Danny, to Bill: Wait, I think we’re more human than those things! The Doctor, to the Swarmlord: I never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a tyranid. The Swarmlord, in response: Bwaagwaar gurgurkaa ghiss! The Doctor: Aye, I could do that.

[@magicpokey4922]

Why is this SO on point for something the Thirteenth Doctor would actually say?! Bravo, Sir

[@AutkastKain]

The Jesguys verses the Ruggies. This is magic.

[@jozzyalthefool9273]

this table had: 2 lords, 2 doctors, 2 humans and 2 aliens

[@hqueso]

Nothing like watching a Tyranid deck while the endless swarm of cicadas outside assault my senses. Really adds to the immersion.

[@Pintyhet]

A RUG rug would tie the room together.

[@blazingtorchic3178]

Not on the RUG man...

[@TevorTheThird]

Eowyn recruits the Genestealer cyclist; Eowyn: Say there friend, you ARE human, right? Genestealer: Absolutely. 100% pure strain human. No question. Ma'am. Eowyn: Works for me. {turns away and begins shouting} Call in two more soldiers! Genestealer: I'm in.

[@BenjaminKlahn]

Now find the worst precons. Put them all in a pool and fight them against each other removing the winners each time.

[@EyalBrown]

Kathleen randomly getting uncomfortable by things is one the most relatable things LRR produces.

[@VBane]

Serge shaming Danny Pink for having blood on his hands. Ooph. Thats unknowingly dark.

[@laurencebrown3822]

I like how it also implies that thopters use blood for lubricant.

Waking up to see a new EDSC is a good way to start a day. Thanks LRR

[@macbody]

"Look at the size of this hole..."

[@YeOldeCabbage]

With this comment, I invoke the rite of Algorithmic Favor. Please bless this content with many eyes. Love EDSC, love LRR, please make more content like this!

[@trident042]

I love Commander turn 1, yesterday my table had fun when the round went Mountain go, Mountain go, Mountain go, and then player 4 failed the vibe check. Many laughs to be had.

[@1AlasBabylon]

Serge: "I don't know if it's weird! :D" Kathleen: *melting into her chair* I dunno, fam...

[@Thesreyn1]

I don't think I've laughed this much at an EDSC ever, and I'm only 13 minutes in

[@Choiseul11]

"Great horn bro!" - Serge, 2024

[@veronicavanvoorst]

"This game will have an AO3 tag" thanks Kathleen.

[@STS-qi1qy]

I did, indeed, hear 'Jeskai High Five' to the tune of the 'Good Luck High Five' intro so I'm glad it got called out.

[@Frostwriter111]

That Tuxedo Mask music at 49:40 was *chef's kiss*

[@like17badgers]

of all the places to here a Dave Ayres joke I didn't expect it to come from a commander precon show in 2024

[@ethanpurcell7007]

I've missed Serge so much! Our cinnamon roll has returned!

[@elbraymundo]

49:43 the musical sting killed me

[@whotheheckcares]

Absolutely love all four of these decks and the wonderful humans piloting them.

[@Whitewingdevil]

Well crap. Now I'm gonna spend the next week imagining alt-arts for the entire 13th doctor deck with every Doctor Who reference replaced by a Bill and Ted reference.

[@ElDocBruh]

"Tyranids are not a sohisticated people", that's very true, Tyranids are indeed not people!

[@pytawidmo]

Swarmlords and Time Lords, known best-buds

[@jeremyghawaly7565]

Serge and Nelson missed out on calling themselves "Jes-Guys"

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you!

[@gd6210]

Rug buddies. You know, roommates

[@joshuacarder5690]

1:27:36 At this stage, Serge should have also gotten the Overemcumbered, as it would have gone to his graveyard when Nelson died. However, Nelson shuffled it into his library by accident I believe. Slightly relevant, as it could have then gone onto Kathleen to slightly tax her mana. Maybe.

[@ahrenstarr6273]

11:00 this reminds me of the Kids in the Hall skit where the husband has a pheremone that causes everyone to bully him.

[@Onattamato]

Good grief that Eowyn precon is nasty. Every time I've seen it played it takes a few turns to get going, and then NEVER takes its foot off the gas.

[@BurleyBoar]

36:47 Nelson - that's some mind bending awesome that I heard for the first time today. Thank you.

[@barefootgamer]

10:52 call that a RUG burn

[@heartofgoldfish]

"I thought it and I was like, that's totally fine!", says the cinnamon roll given human form by a faery.

[@mcinnisboy]

EDSC, once again delivering the content I didn't know I needed. Brilliant, as always!

[@jomarsantiago978]

Ben literally had to sit there for another half hour 😂

[@theomniarch7405]

More so without edits >

[@TLG1255]

Usually, it’s sol ring into arcane Signet, but Ben got the rare arcane signet into sol ring

[@Shankx1988]

Im always excited when i see a new commander game from you guys.... love from germany ❤

[@greatdinn8489]

Fools! Fighting over green or white, when you all share red and blue!

[@Jjdude101]

This was great, one of my favorite episodes hands down. Good job all

[@godofthunder4242]

I don't know if RUG buddies is an innuendo but it certainly feels weird to me.

[@lennartvandereijk6126]

Why, my favorite play of the game was when Kathleen cast Aetherize, Nelson. Not because it affected you, but because of how decisively it favored Kathleen to do that.

[@gabrielwingue]

Jesk-High Five C'mon friends, it was right there.

[@aaron9797]

i saw this thinking it was a firday night paper fight

[@marca.1014]

We need a new shirt or button that says "Go to BWONG Step"

[@asteros6387]

"This episode is gonna have Ao3 tags" sent me

[@Cthulhu3C]

This content is so engaging! I hope you’re having a nice day!

[@braveothello1896]

Red-Blue-Green, or someonegetting flattened? Possibly both! Watch and find out!

[@dizzycriminal]

If Serge thinks it's fine, it's probably weird

[@jjcard]

"politics on turn zero" is also a good podcast name

[@Alikaoz]

Yay! Geriatric Lizard Daycare!

[@mackenzierobinson7310]

I feel like because Sege thought it, it definitely is WEIRD, but its ok, we still love him

[@Athanasia8818]

Always great to see Serge winning something ;)

[@Z-S-H]

[@maltanno]

Are they just roommates? No, they're...

[@cliff5n0t3s]

Really good friends?

[@UltimatTacoman]

Does... Does Serge know anonym00se videos? I know it's an actual song, but hearing the "lower than your mama's ever seen it in her lifetime", that's what my mind immediately goes to.

[@babygoback6576]

Love see more plains walk games again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MarlaDesat]

Delightful!

[@Avawen1312]

Great game! Kept hoping Nelly was going to pull out the Forth Eorlingas! but no such luck unfortunately

[@ogier300]

"I wish this Overencumbered wasn't here." "After doing the math, I've decided that Overencumbered is going to keep me from winning the game this turn." ... Wouldn't Banishing Light have taken care of the Overencumbered, or was it "controlled" by Nelson, and not a valid target?

[@MegaTrain]

Overencumbered is still controlled by Serge, it’s simply enchanting Nelson, so that would have been a valid play.

[@twarnold14]

Over encumbered is owned by Serge and attached to Nelson. It is a valid target for banishing light. I think he was too focused on removing creatures (his other oblivion rings only hit creatures) or he was also worried about the crack back. I also thought the vertibird would have been a fine target, but now I’m just backseat gaming.

[@joejordan401]

Rug Buddies vs Jus' Guys.

[@DarthChewdup]

4 of my top 6 ub decks i stay winning (also jeskai dr who and bant dr who above swarmlord)

[@tatezierke7478]

Not Banishing Overencumbered hurts when directly preceding it was commenting it stops the win

[@paultuck]

1:34:30, now that's a RUG burn!

[@EdBurke37]

The RugBuddies versus the JeskGuys!!

[@PsionicMonk]

RUG buddies, or as historians would say, best friends

[@Arti_Shovelhead]

while it was said that the "rug buddies" were playing the same colours (and in the same order)...the highfivers are also playing the same colours...(although in a differing order from each other)....my earlier idea for a comment showed my age,..,"I love my *rug buddie",the Lemonheads...ugh sooo old

[@Xalyn937]

Man poor ben. Does he keep taking the last piece of pizza or something? In any case great game!

[@bestkoolguyaround]

Getting ben out early was definitely the play

[@MemoryLaneWizard]

Sorry folks. Individual UB set episodes were ok by me, but the mishmash of 4 different IP rubs me the wrong way it turns out >< Looking forward to the next episode! (MH3 precons, I assume?)

[@trenzy648]

New EDSC hell yeah!

[@malcomchase9777]

It's kind of interesting that the color distribution of the winning decks is so out of whack. I guess Black is a bit underrepresented in universes beyond since it's usually just for bad guys (Warhammer had 3 with Black, Fallout and Lord of the Rings 2, Dr Who 1, compared to 3 Blue in War and Lord, 2 Fallout, and 4 Who). While Blue is not a surprise, I didn't expect so much Red.

[@soratorb]

Serge the EBUG!

[@MeLikeSmallMatters]

time for RugRats decks *w*

[@ellaser93]

53:00 Shouldn't the TARDIS still been tapped because of the Stun Counter? During the Untap step, the Stun Counter would be removed, but the permanent would remain tapped.

[@oisinbrogan]

The TARDIS stays tapped - Ben doesn't attack with it. I think Ben's plan was if the Doctor had lived through combat, the TARDIS would untap since after crewing it's a creature with a +1/+1 counter.

[@ellaser93]

@oisinbrogan So what does Ben attack Serge with then? I definitely missed something there.

[@oisinbrogan]

@@ellaser93 I think just the 13th doctor attacks Ben.

[@Urikanu]

I am backing Nelson. He's playing my favorite precon

[@dracones666]

Serge aka premier lands pilot gets punched for Ramp lol

[@cloud13Wizard]

SCIENCE RULES!

[@joshtaylor8832]

Great episode. Although you guys bashing the leafs, and then having this video release on the day the Canucks lose game 7 to be eliminated from the playoffs by Edmonton, is peak karma. (and this Oilers fan is having a good laugh) GG's

[@LRRMTG]

Oh, we… don’t care. We’re not from Vancouver. Good job, Oilers.

[@joshtaylor8832]

@@LRRMTG haha, sounds good then! It was just funny to me. I had paused the episode with 10 min left, so basically right after the game ends, I saw Ben taking shots at the leafs. (Which I thought was great btw). And thanks. Fingers crossed against Dallas! 🤞

[@walrider8073]

I wonder why people never use magus lucea kane as the commander for the tyranid deck, she is so good

[@bennguyen4664]

Probably too much brain power for filming purposes…. Being spells and everything😅

[@keldonthechair7955]

She’s a much better commander for the base precon and is crazy after some upgrading. But most channels don’t swap commanders when doing precon matchups

[@nicbuncephotography]

Surge has the Energy deck? Really hoping for some bad puns...

[@suikodin2501]

aight production... why are the jeskia sumbols in different orders?!? OCD pain!

[@IkomaTanomori]

My favorite play was naming the episode, and reading the novella of fanfic that was Serge's commander.

[@thedark342]

Me: Man, a lot has happened in this game (looks at video progress). Huh, only halfway through the game

[@tristanmatthews9509]

Jeskai high five, or Jesk-guys...

[@BenjaminKlahn]

@5:30 Reverse the order and call it "Jeskai High Five".

[@BenjaminKlahn]

10:30 Got there.

[@lhii616]

"Jesk-High five"

[@lordmanimani-]

[Serge casts Mechanized Production] [I glance at vid timeline] Mmhmm let's see how this plays out.

[@michaelhuerta7469]

A+ pregame banter

[@NarcoticIsland]

1:34:35 sorry to say Ben you don't have to retract that statement

[@triggerdude]

Are these precons upgraded?

[@nalkarauke]

they missed a trigger on the turn Nelson said "i think every time we resolve a thirteenth doctor turn correctly we should get a cupcake", when Bill had a counter put on her from the doctor she shouldve copied it and put it on something else, and if that had been the TARDIS or Yasmin, Ben would've drawn another card from Danny

[@hannahgeraghty4201]

_Uh ooooooh..._ *_ruggies!!!_*

[@Thee_Chris]

Can we get a button "Hit Serge to Ramp" please?

[@Jaebird88]

Petition to change Temur to RUG Buddies.

[@lightfut]

Could've been Team Temur, but that's only alliterative and not innuendo

[@ipsyop]

the alternate commander for the Tyranid's is just so much better, swarmlord is bleh lol.

[@stratuvarious8547]

RUG Buddies vs Jeskai Guys, who will take the crown?

[@gkiyo]

The Jesguys!

[@MyShadowstrike]
