[@ramensobatv]

Ryan's voice over was the signature of this channel. I would love to still continue that format.

[@mk5257]

Your voice overs were the quality hallmark of the channel

[@mczyk17]

Yeah for sure, it's one of your guy's key differentiators.

[@bpchongo-.-]

Yeah he might be tired of doing it idk for sure. I can agree though the narration was legit especially when the stack was going nuts.

[@UUbro140]

Agree! His narration is what makes the channel. Some thoughts though for if he were retiring and wanted the rest of the crew to fill in. I think having people narrate themselves only works if it shows more of their personalities and they sound energetic when describing their turns. For this episode I found it detracting from an otherwise very interesting game. Another note is that the new narrator was pretty good, it just felt a little slow. Like I got bored before the game started because describing the decks felt too slow. I can see it working with some more experimenting and trial and error. The video was just missing the speed and tempo that I love from the channel.

[@ZeraLord]

4thd or 5thd. Ryan please come back. No offense to the players, but your commentary is what me and my wife love listening to.

[@undercoverother]

Great to see you guys back! Definitely go back to narration, the mic quality varies too widely from second to second.

[@luketaylor1257]

Yea, narration is the channel's strong suit. It's clean, informative, and gives a good sense of authority about what's going on and helps you follow the complexity.

[@generalistvibe3279]

Don’t hate listening to the players but I think that would be for a livestream. The narration really slims down the game and simplifies your understanding of what’s happening, I enjoy it a lot more personally

[@elijahlyons8164]

This

[@botmoonky1]

i think i like narration better, its more fast paced and i prefer the consistent audio quality

[@gregorymerryweather204]

Glad to see you back, but i do like yhe narrative better

[@ryanrobinson4287]

Really like the addition of the graphic on the creatures showing that they were buffed by an effect. I like the experimentation and the banter but maybe only make this like one in every 5 eps or so. The narration made this channel stand out like no other mtg channel

[@crackerjack_games]

I really like this editing too! It reminded me Jetmir was in fact on the battle field and laying down huge damage.

[@roboticbychoice1081]

Ryan's quicker narration style was gold. The different mic quality is fairly distracting

[@darkflame676]

Glad to see you all back in action! I prefer the narration however.

[@tehtek]

Narration please. The clarity and conciseness is a huge reason for my love of the channel.

[@HansHurin]

Chad paying for Remora with his Dryad Arbor while Linvala is out is a Chad move.

[@rawruwu7862]

A mix of narration and swapping to the players would be a great! I love seeing each person get to head their decks, but some parts are a little too confusing and could use narration to help clarify it up.

[@mijiui22]

Yeah they should totally do this

[@ArmanyteGX]

I really enjoy the narration style more. It's more concise and clear which means I can understand the plays and thoughts behind them better.

[@mh27400]

Didn't Ashani cast Veil of Summer? How can he counter his own Carpet of Flowers with An Offer You Can't Refuse when Veil reads "spells you control can't be countered this turn"?

[@thexpancake]

Good catch

[@dsnavely13]

Yeah, Carpet shouldn't have been put into the yard.

[@official_uhu]

also the chain of vapor couldn't target the kitten

[@richardsapingo1828]

Sorta Incorrect. "You and permanents you control gain hexproof from blue and from black until end of turn." Hexproof means you can still target your own stuff. Offer can still hit can't be countered spells but obviously won't get countered. So you just make two treasures. So Carpet would have resolved.

[@thexpancake]

@@richardsapingo1828 no it literally says "spells you control can't be countered this turn" in addition to the hex proof stuff

[@rhettnorman8451]

doesnt linvala turn off dryad arbors ability to tap for mana?

[@SamuraiMTG]

If you keep the audio of you playing, then the background music must be quieter. Myself and people like me with hearing problems will struggle to hear the mumbling quiet voices over the music. This one was almost unwatchable for me. It was a real struggle to hear. I don't mind the narration from each player, but they will all have to agree to speak loud and clear and be heard over the background music.

[@crackerjack_games]

I enjoyed the in game talk. Would love for the team to be a bit more engaged in how they cast spells/ announce triggers etc.. moving forward if you are planning on using in-game chatter. Glad to see y’all back!

[@ProTahZziohinAction]

Happy to see you guys back! Definitely the quick paced narration is what defined your channel. The individual voices definitely has potential, just need to equalize the volume for each participant. Would love to hear the laughs, blunders and politics.

[@DerpyLaron]

Glad to see you back, but I have to agree with many other people. Go back to the Mudstar style narration and stack. I am appreciate how much this game already is edited down, but and I mean that as no offense to anyone, most of the cast in today's game don't seem be used to speak for an audience. It is perfectly serviceable to talk like that for a game you play, but with people watching you want to make it sound interesting and engaging and that means faking an enthusiastic sounding voice if you don't naturally have one.

[@dougienorton5309]

Like many have said, the narration felt like the meat and potatoes of what made playing with power stick out amongst all the other channels. The consistent quality of the audio made listening easy and it raised the standard for how I looked at other channels. The mic. audio didn't work with the 1v1 videos and I think it hurts the commander videos in ways that will be hard to look past. Whether its ryan or alex or anyone, #bringbacknarration

[@Shadowbane0]

I infinitely prefer the narration style of your videos. I understand the downsides of the style, mostly taking extra editing time, and putting a large portion of post recoding work on one person, but I am more than willing to wait longer times between uploads for the experience. It is also something I just immediately associate with your channel, and helps distinguish it from other similar channels.

[@franslair2199]

Low quality mics and too much em uhhh emms. Go back to narration.

[@WayneyMTG]

Ooo tough one, like many have already said, the narration is top tier and I've personally learned a lot about the game through watching those games, having said that it's great to see a game that's a little more personal, so I'm happy with a little of both, would love to see more of the high power edh games where we got to see faces and feel the vibes

[@JoeKell365]

17:13 that's an illegal target, since Ashani was under Veil of Summer that turn and technically a copied Chain of Vapor is a blue spell that Nick controls. it ultimately didn't matter since Ashani still won, but it's something to keep note of

[@Beocaleb]

Since veil gives hexproof which is keyworded and not a blanket statement when ashani uses the kitten flicker to dodge the solitude it no longer has hexproof from blue and black making the target from chain completely valid.

[@alanrois7941]

I think Displacer Kitten was the actual MVP. He got too much value out of it.

[@neminem233]

Personally, the opening narration about decks/opening hands felt too..Mr Beasty for me. "We brought out FOUR people to PLAY COMMANDER for ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, whoever loses gets their DECK cut in HALF with SCISSORS" yeah that's not the vibe I want from this channel, personally I don't actually mind the talking during the game, there are times where I wonder "what did the player actually say in response to that" I don't think it should be the norm or anything, but I do like it from time to time

[@richardsapingo1828]

I guess i will be a devils advocate. This episode was fire. While the narration is awesome, the 4 people who played did great in announcing their plays. Fun game.

[@jackalpwn42]

It seems to be unanimous but i'll say that Ryan narrating (assuming he's still able to) is what makes this channel. Glad to see PWP back in action, but the narration is what makes it

[@eliorbilow8797]

Love that you're back! I think it's fine without narration, but it would be good to have similar quality mics and mic settings around the table for consistency. Also, the animations were a bit much, especially the sliding in of the cards and the fade in/out of the age/burden counters.

[@PsychoticSashimiS]

The voice over is clean and enjoyable, I enjoy this format but the lack of uniform mic quality is rough on the ears I'm glad y'all tried something different but I much prefer the old format of the videos

[@arzellwilson6491]

Glad y’all back. Do prefer the narration but this was ok too.

[@joshuajohnson1448]

My favorite moments of the channel are when the stack gets wayyyyy out of hand and listen to Ryan suck it in and say it all in one breath lol. Love the content either way!

[@PQTVevo]

I think the voice over is extremely professional and makes it super easy to follow along. I really enjoy it when I want something to pay attention to. I do think the voices during play are great for a very relaxed and listen to type of video. I enjoy it greatly but personally I prefer the narration. Nothing wrong with variety

[@phoenix-walker]

Narration please. I like the clean mic and Ryans voice. Even Alex did well too with the narration. Idea: Maybe splice in some of the original audio when something funny is happening. Like someone "cursing the rng gods" or hearing the feedback from the table after a spicy play.

[@danieljamespoker]

You have arguably the best narration in the game so that is my vote. Love all you do and just grateful to have you back though.

[@DefCatofficial]

there is def a world where all 4 players have great mics / narration practice where this works but woudl take time to build up. Atm i think we all perfer narration

[@lucasbakeforero426]

I think it would be fair to give you guy's more time to find your own footing with talking on camera gameplay. Yet as things stand... Narration is more my preference. Perhaps try a couple more videos with chatting? Keep the content up!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Yeah, I definitely prefer the narrated games. The narration keeps the games at a fast and steady flow, while the different talking speeds and mic qualities really disrupt the flow for me. I think voice overs work best in offline games, where the players get together and their interactions are a lot more organic. This is why they work in channels such as The Command Zone and MtG the Stack.

[@silentfireofthewaste]

One of the things I've liked about watching the videos before were how concise and to the point they were with a single narrator. I can appreciate how the players are pertty tight with their dialogue, but I don't feel as into it as I was before. Having the single narrator go through the game actions gave the video a more professional quality to it, like a sports commentator talking about a game in progress. In that way, the single narrator made watching the game easier to track than this direction. The VO audio was better too than using the player mics for these game action explanations. The only reason I'd want to hear the players themselves is if I was interested in their show personalities. Which honestly I'm not and they don't have much opportunity do so anyway since they're keeping things fairly tight. This series stood out to me for it's brevity, comprehensiveness, and quality VO and this video feels like a step back in both of those areas.

[@troyuchida3146]

WE BACK BABY!!! GOD HOW IVE MISSED THIS CHANNEL SOOOOOO MUCH

[@ArthurAttwell]

Love the voices. The narration was great, too. Either way, you're creating great stuff for us to enjoy. Do what you can most feasibly sustain, it's hard work creating these videos.

[@Sarkhamy]

I don't mind the lack of narration The only thing that I would want to point out is we should probably put some music or something behind the player's voices? It's very weirdly quiet

[@paulinof2]

Narration please!!!! Thanks for asking and and thanks to everyone in the episode for giving us another cEDH gameplay episode

[@sirepic5763]

I prefer the voice over over the commentary but if you were to post more in-game commentary again, I would definitely try different background music as I feel like it's clashing with the four other voices that we're trying to listen to.

[@RoseGoldenPetal]

Not a fan of the live audio variation tbh, the mic quality is a little poorer then what was previously presented and the narration of the game was more enjoyable, please return to that

[@joeyvirtue4884]

I love this channel no matter how it is narrated I will watch it. I personally enjoy both, the new graphics are great. I miss the show where everyone was playing and discussing the game. Maybe you could still do both time permitting and just label some as narrated and others as not.

[@InfinityRift7]

Narration felt and sounded a lot better, in terms of pacing, overall audio clarity, and stack visualization. Narration also fit in really well with the BGM and that makes it hit different, in a really good way.

[@ShellShockOne]

I LOVE the new animations on cards. As far as voiceovers go I'm all for a mix of narration and cutting to interesting/fun things the players say!

[@kartoshka1952]

I very much like the uncut gameplay but the voiceover quick games are a great format. No shots at the players, love and respect them a lot, but to have raw gameplay, some personality and character presence is important to provide some engagement. Gotta have some banter and jokes in there. It also takes up more time and makes it hard to fit multiple games into one video

[@lexisanterre]

I vastly prefer the voiceovers, because I tend to listen to your videos in the background as I do chores/work; the level of detail in narration helps me keep track of the gamestate without needing to visibly see the screen. Its a level of detail that no other channel does and if we lose that I would be sad.

[@masalpert]

Chad shouldnt be able to pay for fish with Dryad Arbor on their t6 because of Linvala. May have mattered because they used their other mana to cast spells in Ashanis end step.

[@jaydub5515]

I did like the change up this video, but I think I ordered the voiceovers. If possible, a 2nd video series being added to the channel featuring the voices of the players along with a webcam shot of their faces would be cool

[@kenkokuten4887]

My dudes voice reminds me of watching national geographic as a kid. Very solid game also. Nice to hear people talking over their own turns.

[@Alexander-rk4cu]

so, yeah the gameplay was good. and great win Ashani. on the live commentray vs narration, im siding on narration. it just makes mic quality consisten, makes it easier to give a propper oversight of whats going on, and it also is one of the things that makes this channel stick out from the rest of the MTG Commander channels. though i do like the energy that live commentary brought into the video, and really likede Zebs energy. i think the live commentary can work, if being worked on, mostly mic quality, but on the other hand, the narration makes this channele stand out among the crowd.

[@jurassicjuror]

I am torn about this, I love the table talk audio, but also miss Ryan’s voice over 🥲 Great game! Good to have you guys back!

[@Totallynotasmo]

i can totally understand that doing the narration can be a lot of work ,and that doing the live game audio has its own entertainment. IMO the narration is better though. Glad to see you back so do as yall need! :]

[@horacecampbell8483]

We all like the narration better. So please don’t stop.

[@stevenmonserrate308]

Good game but please bring Ryan back. His voice over is the defining characteristic of the channel XD

[@zninja12345]

Unless everybody got the same mics i think one guy narrating was good. I gotta say tho the editing on this one is awesome please keep up with how you guys show cards on screen and the active effects affecting the creatures

[@dancer6452]

I feel that the narrated version of these videos are more well paced and keeps the video from feeling like it's dragging or lower energy feeling, I would vote for more narrated versions of gameplay,

[@shimo8350]

I would say stick to the narration style format. It made following along much easier and made it to where we didn't need to be watching the screen the entire time.

[@humzayahya7227]

Definitely go back to the narration, that's most of the reason I watch you guys, glad ya'll are back

[@jinxed7915]

This isny bad and still preferable to how some channels handle their gameplay, but i do prefer the old narration by a wide margin

[@thomasdawson7766]

I like to hear both the narration and the players. But really, I just love Playing with Power!

Yeah i want Ryan to go back to narrating. Its the only reason why i watch this channel because i don't want to listen to the players

[@JLH111176]

if this was a live stream would be good to hear the players but if it is going to be edited anyway I would rather have the narration. It seemed like it was quicker and better audio quality also

[@deckssays]

I think this is a neat idea if you're able to do this video idea once a month, followed up by a discussion video.

[@ashanator]

I learn a lot from your narration when it comes to combos and narration of the stack, I really think you should stick with it. I also think you should weave these kind of videos in more often because I imagine the editing process being easier, and that would lead to more content, but maybe get better microphones for the rest of the crew.

Did Ashani actually have infinite mana? I might be missing something. Ashani tapped cradle for 4 green to cast ewit, then uses the 1 floating green and the breeding pool to play snap. That used all 5 mana. Where is the positive mana coming from?

[@jorjor500]

He untaps cradle and a blue source with the snap, cradle gives him enough mana to recast eternal witness and cast snap with the blue source netting him infinite green mana with the loop

[@zakkellingson4012]
