This show has revitalized my love of commander. With no local game store it has also inspired me to open my own. Here’s to the next adventure!

[@starmanda88]

First of all the best of luck to you! Second I wish you were in my area 😭 we don’t have a single LGS that allows in store play. It really sucks.

[@shaneportis520]

Oh wow awesome! What has that been like opening your own store? I ask because I have considered doing the same..

[@OzzyOsgir]

Best game I’ve seen in a while. Everyone had a chance at different times. Great interactions, great guests, unique decks. Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing these two on again, y’all had good chemistry. 10/10 would swan song again.

It's official now: Rakdos decks are cursed with mana starvation in this show.

[@ryanmichels6744]

Honestly it’s just a Rakdos problem, my roommate has a lord of riots deck and 90% of the time he gets no land and the other 10 it’s only lands. I’m convinced the name is cursed

[@dillongause7528]

Rakdos decks are designed to be bad luck on this show.

[@zrg5004]

if you play rakdos decks u need to be aware of the mana fuckd part, its always like a russian roulette but on cards :v

[@miksapribus2140]

I counted it out, Josh died to himself actually. He took 40 damage from cards he played, and only 14 from effects that someone else controlled, but that damage got negated by Jimmy's healing spell. So in conclusion, Josh didn't die to drawing a card, he died to himself.

[@kilinoegarcia6882]

he died on his own terms. respect!!

But because I know you know I know, I have to take the card in front of you”

Hey Aiury, it was nice meeting you in King's Game in Brooklyn that you were visiting before having to leave. Nice of you to mention that you were gonna be on Game Knights, amazing to finally see your debut. I know my friends and I said to target Josh first cuz "He's too dangerous to be left alive!" but he pretty much was hurting himself more than you were, but but end up teaming with him anyways that ends up hurting you as well😆. At least Josh didn't win, so you did good and nice infect suicide!

It was so great meeting you!!! Yeah, I shoulda stuck with the gameplan! I had so much fun playin with yall, can't wait to get back out there and get the rematch!!

I discovered this channel a few weeks ago since I've been picking up the cards since 2006. I love Commander games I've lost count of the videos I've seen, even some with a few years.

[@michaelc.4724]

Spoilers

[@rileyselman1312]

At approximately 1:15:00 when Aiury targets Shadrix it seems weird. He should’ve activated the ability once at a time. If jimmy realized what was up after the 1st trigger and decided to activate westvale at that point aiury would lose one trigger but still have 4 mana and 2 creatures to sac. If jimmy lets the first two resolve, Aiury still gets two cards and the ability only fizzles on the third. The problem lies in activating the triggers in response to one another.

[@robertbolea6442]

It would have made Jimmy sacrafice shadrix on the third activation of lyzolda and probably allow the first 2 activations resolve.

Every time those JLK soldier tokens enter the battlefield, I want them all to give a "Howzit!" Lol
