[@JeremyNoell]

During the episode, I joked that we'll see if we get renewed for a season 27. Long time fans of the show will know this has been a regular joke at the end of each season, but with the recent change in focus of content at SCG, I can understand how some people might take this a bit more seriously. We currently have no plans to end the show and will be back with a season 27. I'm sorry if that caused any confusion.

[@lindowqq]

pin this please :)

[@mechrodan]

Thank you for clearing this up

[@flare6255]

thank you for clarifying this I was legitimately worried, even as someone whose been watching for several years

[@krazedcosmo]

Not confusion, I just cried a little for no reason. Lol

[@nemoforever]

Justin never had to explain his jokes... Can't wait for him to come back!

[@Ryadic]

Watching Corey discover what makes Commander so great was such a pleasure to watch this season. And he was such a good sport the whole season with coming in last basically every time. I would love to see more of him in the future even when Justin comes back. And I do miss me some Justin. I hope he's doing well.

[@tetrisgoat]

I also miss Justin, but the way I interpreted his pinned tweet is that he is not likely to come back any time soon

[@DairyElemental]

Anyone else just start fast forwarding through the episodes in hopes that life totals get updated?

[@gregorynealsabin]

Corey is obviously an incredibly talented and intelligent player but while watching this season I couldn’t help but notice him legitimately becoming a better MTG player while sitting next to Stephen quasi mentoring him through Corey’s delve into the unknown. John really, REALLY brought it this year and Jeremy as always is the cherry on top. Miss you JP, and damn good job this season, boys.

[@fancytoxicsoda]

Hey guys, as always love the vids. But Director, please keep on top of the life totals.

[@jordantoomey7572]

I second this. I loved the content, but really wanted an easier way to follow life totals.

[@WanHooProductions]

I love MTG but unfortunately hardly get the time to play. Watching "Commander Vs" over the years has allowed me a vicarious outlet to enjoy the game weekly. I typically "goldfish" some decks while watching the show in the wee hours while everyone is asleep. The idea that the show may not come back bums me out a lot. I'm hoping that it does return, but if it does not I'd like to thank the cast, crew, and fans for all the great memories over the years. Each player brought their own style and personality each week and I feel as if I got to know everyone, without having ever met anyone. Of everyone I felt as if my game aligned with #teamParnell the most and was sad to hear about his decision to leave the show, but I admired him more for making such a hard decision look as if it were not a decision at all. Corey stepped in this season and I have to say I am a fan. His optimism and humor was a good addition to the team. Thank you Jon Suarez for playing it tight, Stephen Green for the chaos, and Jeremy for the value decks. Again I'm hoping for a return next season, but would be amiss if I hadn't mentioned the enjoyment everyone and the show has given me on a weekly basis. BRAVO and ENCORE!

[@chrisbenson6753]

Really hope you guys continue, certainly my favourite commander live play!

[@WrubleskiB]

Sure would be nice if the director cared enough to update life totals.

[@kirkebel2194]

That feeling when Corey gets to experience big ramp and huge cascades. The smiles made me remember the good days of commander, great season excited for the next.

[@harrisonthorn6680]

Thanks for playing my deck, Jon! Sorry I forgot the board wipes… but Palladia-Mors never lost hexproof, so mission accomplished as far as I’m concerned!

[@kingfuzzy2]

That's the reason I built a fog tribal deck with her too.

I subscribed last year. Lots of older gaming channels have lost viewers... its typical of any media outlet, the longer they go the less people watch. At least they didnt try to change up too much.

I'm normally team Green as well, but Jon happens to be playing a commander that is close to my heart. I'll say I'm team Palladia...

[@edac_plays6259]

I’m really out here trying to figure it why the names and life totals were so jpeggy and the board was clear turns out they just are.

[@DarthTUK]

It's like you're doing your first season. -overlay graphic in poor quality -no updates on life totals -audio witch scratches -volume on Stephens mic turned down -end of season summary from the director with no mic at all Don't know what to say about the gameplay. Maelstorm Wanderer is one of the more pub-stompier commanders, but I felt bad for Corey not doing anything all season, so I guess he deserved to have his fun. But for a fan request episode I have no idea what the other 3 decks' "cool" thing was.

[@miniroo612]

Same same @starcitygames

[@dragonreaper9288]

Dan takes one day off and forgets how to change life totals lol

[@neorazor1403]

Jon! Paladia was the first commander deck I ever played, it was my buddies home brew when M19 was fresh off the press and I actually won that game and was forever hooked to EDH. Today I have 29 decks.

[@kandjar]

Great season! A tiny deck power issue on that last episode, yet a lot of fun to watch. Considering it's Corey's first season, he def deserved to get that overpower feeling we all experienced at least once! :-) That being said: You guys need to get Director Dan a proper mike! It's really hard (almost impossible) to hear him.

[@GuyrillaBraun]

Dan can get a mic when he can keep up with life totals actually.

[@musikjunky311]

+1 on the Mike Long reference. I understood that. lol

[@mathewdebol923]

Love watching the banter of the group! This is why I could never get into Arena, you lose out on the “Gathering” of the game

[@maxherter4899]

Guys bring back justin. let’s get the great banter back and I know it’s asking a lot but Wes too

[@Keos027]

Maelstrom Wanderer was the first commander I built. Haven't played it in 3 years. I think I'm due for an update and play it again. No combo, just value.

[@chrischeung1809]

Is the video in a lower quality?

[@zachbechtel2101]

Great season! Always am excited when I see a new commander VSs!

[@SCGCommander]

Thank you for watching, Zach!

[@NyxTheScary]

God that Wanderer deck was nasty.

[@Mox_Normandy]

I see a lot of comments complaining about the quality of the show and I would like to remind everyone of the 2 full years we all suffered through lockdowns where they played over spelltable and it was a mess then but we still enjoyed it. As far as entertainment you can dislike a person on the show, but if you like the others and you stop watching because of that one person, then the net result is the same. All of them no longer get to do this show if we don't support them. Clearly SCG has been doing less and less on KZbin but this has stayed around because of the support of fans of the show. So despite some issues you have I ask that we still support them, because if we do they can use the support to continue working on the show. If not, we lose it.

[@miniroo612]

They were the original commander gameplsy content on KZbin. Going way back to like 2014. We should be thanking them for paying the way for Command Zone and other places, honestly. If you don't like their content, there are plenty of other outlets to watch. Stop complaining and move on.

[@Fromaginator]

maelstrom wanderer was the first commander deck I ever built. The owner of the comic book store where I bought the planechase deck told me about it, at that point I'd never heard of commander. So much has changed since then but I still have a maelstrom wanderer deck.

[@derekdube3096]

25 minutes in and I can't help but think... when will the life totals be updated? -then they all get suddenly updated. Good job Director Dan!

[@Rohan841r]

Team Green, and very happy to see this one so early. Good luck my 4 ninja turtles. Hearing that name Roderick, reminds me of this book; Roderick Rules, diary of a magic kid.

[@smitchy657]

I love all the folk on this show. I miss Justin's shenanigans, but Corey brings something that I've missed since the Wes days

[@Steven-rb7ph]

If the life totals aren't going to be updated I would prefer that they are removed.

[@drgood33]

For next season, it would be nice to have an episode with decks that didn't come out on their first tries. Give them another chance.

[@KLOutdoor]

That is why I don’t run any mana dorks in my wanderer deck, cascading into them sucks so bad, just run more ramp spells 😊

[@didupaytheone2678]

Great game ..r.i.p Steven...no steven I'll play my own deck lol..I'm a sucker for combat damage, love to see it..

[@derpyghosts]

Ewww audio scratches, it's really distracting especially on headphones thru the whole video.

[@nathan6469]

When Ashiok was used shouldn't everybody exile their graveyards instead of just Corey or did I miss everyone doing that.

[@ANitschkeProduction]

All opponents should have.

[@dragonreaper9288]

Having Corey have another broken deck, go completely crazy so he's the threat the entire game, hampering the guy in first place with terrible decks to give other players a shot, Jeremy having the answer but unable to do it. Yup it's the new Commander VS now. Also Director, what are you doing with the life totals???

[@Ariaoff.Limits]

its a great game - Its only Corey's first season, but it is sad that he just doesn't care about the points. Giving Jon the season win is sadface.

[@stock014]

Agreed, he kinda plays like a child. That's Stephen's job. lol

[@dragonreaper9288]

Yeah now we have 2 children now that Justin is gone. Green and Corey. I guess it's true that there really is no real attempt to claim the win or to dethrone someone in top spot late in the season. Maybe punishments for the big loser of each season?

[@robertbauerle5592]

It's kind of refreshing to see. Personally I'm not a big fan of the points system in general, it goes against what magic is actually about which is winning the game, not saving your opponents and trying for other sub goals. They can be fun, which is cool, but I think if it distracts players too much from the actual goal of winning then it's not worth it.

[@Ariaoff.Limits]

@@robertbauerle5592 i get what you are saying - i do like the point system though and i like it when who ever has been sitting on top has been dethroned. I am not like the others - Steven and Cory aren't children and im pretty sure Cory will grow into commander - right now he is in the " you mean i could do this" phase -

[@AgonalRhythm]

I feel like it's pretty disingenuous to knock Corey for playing like a giddy child in a children's card game. Corey's excitement at things EDH players take for granted is delightful and personally makes me feel excited about the game again too

[@gertdevilliers6349]

[@cinco_de_la_tarde]

This is a great game that shows my issues with Maelstrom Wanderer. Even if you fill the core of the deck with not the most optimal beaters, it just does not matter as it just ramps quickly to 8 and then keeps flooping nonsense and makes it impossible to catch back up in a lot of games. Wanderer tends to crush anything not built competitively and then if not built optimally, will often lose to competitive decks making it sit in an awkward spot where most people are not happy in games where it exists.
