Murders at Karlov Manor w/ Arin Hanson | Game Knights 67 | Magic: The Gathering Commander Gameplay

[@commandcast]

Hi Everyone - Hope you enjoyed the episode. And you wouldn't be looking at the comments if you hadn't already watched the whole thing, right? Because I certainly wouldn't want to spoil anything for anyone... Anyway, friendly reminder that Teferi's Protection gives a player "Protection from Everything" which means that damage from any source is completely prevented. The whole "you still take Commander Damage thing" only applies if a card were to say "damage from this can't be prevented" however, no card in this game says that (you're thinking of Questing Beast). -JLK

[@JudgmentDragon25]

I always wondered if people would bring that up. Reading the card, explains the card lol.

[@BornGamer83]

It didn't matter in the end, but wasn't there a whoops with "Take the Bait"? JLK should have had to swing with everything during the second combat.

[@sumdud2129]

That intro was outstanding! The cinematography, the set, the sketch, the inside jokes! I've been watching you guys since the beginning, and it's always amazing to see how you constantly raise the bar!

[@Natedogg2]

Take the Bait only goads the attacking creatures, not all of their creatures

[@enoesiw]

​@@Natedogg2 I think you're trying to be clever about the difference between "attack" and "attacking" but got it mixed up. Any attacking creature would be goaded, including tokens created during combat and put into play tapped and attacking because the card does not stipulate that the creatures needed to have attacked this turn. In other words, you need to attack to get attack triggers like drawing a card when a creature attacks or paying 2 for propaganda. But going straight into play attacking will miss the draw and get around the Propaganda tax, however they are still attacking. TL;DR: All creatures that attack are attacking, but not all attacking creatures had to attack.

[@HComfy]

When Arin “recited” Roaming Throne’s text from memory, the “Nailed it.” flavor text was absolute gold. Editor deserves an award for that one.

[@jootsfuneral8316]

When was this?

[@RJAMLuz]

40:12

[@acclrator]

It has some major “have you ever had a dream that” vibes. I loved it.

[@Rannulfus]

I feel like it's every editor's dream to be able to edit a video with Arin in it. He's a gold mine of creative expressive editing.

[@LostForWorlds]

Somebody needs to get it printed and send it to him.

[@jacobbower807]

I love Rachel responding with "FOR CRIM!" when Arin plays the Sword of Body and Mind.

That's some expensive content right there. Surprised no sunglasses on after quip and a YEAAAAAAAAHHhhhhhh

I'm not saying I want this ... but if they always made such high quality intro and made them patreons only, they would have a lot more patreons ^^

[@shirohige_]

I loved the part when Arin said "It's Wolf time" and started wolfing all around, truly one of the scenes in this video. Bravo!

[@thewanderingmind3327]

The flashback of Olivia laughing in slow mo and asking Josh if he'd mind milling 76 literally cracked me. I became the cry laugh emoji irl

It was the first time I've seen Phyrexian processor used for that (fun fact rachael was in that episode and gave olivia the mana to be able to do that.)

[@GrandLineLogPort]

​@@KynElwynn Yup, there are some (I mean, what's a set without any vampires, right?) But that's not even a fraction of what I'd expect from a set, set in the mansion of the Markov family. I mean, that'd be basicaly an "all out vampire" set We were waaaay too deep into spoiler season, when I realised, that it's in Karlov Mansion though

[@piovale]

My friends gifted me a commander precon for my birthday, this is my first approach with Magic but this channel makes me wish I had been in the community for years! It's crazy how many incredible videos and channels are out there, just a few bubbles away. Amazing video, incredible production value, now I just need to understand how the heck to play!

[@MrFillzor]

You can do it, buddy Just by browsing those channels and playing enough games, you'll be knowledgeable in no time

[@tommyvang4057]

Arin is a bro for destroying the altar of dementia for Josh to prevent his PTSD from triggering

[@devinkerr5474]

And giving him Fresh Wolf-based PTSD

[@koalaflame]

So exciting that Arin got to not only actually do things in a game, but actually win! Definitely one of the best episodes. Great job everyone!

[@KTownJames]

The "Crime Doesn't Pay (the 1) plate was *chef's kiss*

[@BDub701]

Can't believe how far the production value in your content has come. I have been enjoying your content for a long time and it just keeps getting better!

[@0ViciousV0]

Yo this intro was soo fire!!🔥 "Youre tellin me this is a commander game?" "It ain't Dan-Dan.. "😂

[@michaelprodromos7492]

Oh, my, God! That opening Detective sequence was astounding! Well done to all, great writing, the card names and placement...simply gorgeous.

[@lucasyantz4210]

This is the best produced, directed, and written Game Knights ever.

[@MidnightMaggie]

Truly

[@pedromagalhaes3821]

The red herring flashing when they suspected the professor was top notch

[@jameshilleshiem]

I love how in the opening short, Josh’s signature move is taking his shades off and putting them on again 😎

[@SkyPhoenix_3991]

That Vietnam Flashback of Josh about the Altar... love it, great Job 😂😂😂

[@alystair]

I've never played MTG yet YT recommended a variety of commander channels - so far this one has been the easiest to follow and most entertaining! Not only showing many cards played in full detail, but the exact version (printing) is icing on the top, great editing... that intro was unexpected and incredible! The license plate holder was so cool!

[@JaySay]

Omg, guys, the level of production here is _insane!_ And fantastic writing, too. I always love the really in depth videos like these before games.

[@TehFoamy]

That opening skit was fantastic. The way that Katie Cantrip stops mid-take and goes "Wait did I say Markov or Karlov?", the "Crime Doesn't Pay (the 1)" license plate frame on the Tesla, the cameo appearances from Joe, Crim, and Ashlen, the giant board of suspects, all of the puns and references within the dialogue itself... Even the little details, like a CSI worker slipping a copy of Hard Evidence into an evidence bag. You could tell that so much thought and effort was put into all of it.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Crim’s Summoning sickness was hilarious. As was basically the entire intro. 😂

[@jonathanhauersperger3483]

I couldn't tell if that was Crim or not lol glad someone else knew

[@aHairyBaboon]

This was gold! I’m watching this after the interview with prof and i hope that this is the direction they move in for the next round of boundary-pushing content!

That roaming throne cutscene was amazing, props to the team for that one! And it's an incredible card so that cutscene is going to come in handy! 👌

[@chrisgebben2043]

yep and its just devastating and backbreaking for opponents infact i use it for the nastiest trigger in the entire history of magic....how do you feel about double annihilator triggers

[@bfeldz1023]

Arin's perfect recall recitation of the rules text right after was the perfect cherry on top.

[@zodiark111]

I love these complex intros SO MUCH it's like actually some of the best magic content outside of the game itself

[@jakelarntz]

The amount of love, and attention to detail put into that intro is why I love this channel so much. 10/10 never stop making these.

[@Omillion00]

The up in the production is the best thing. The atmosphere puts the game in a really good mood. And the intro was incredible. Well done everyone!!!

[@danielhenderson4795]

My god, this might be my favorite episode of Game Knights by far! The intro was FANTASTIC, so perfect and so well done, but also with the return of Arin, the absolute MADNESS of the game, so goooood!

I thought LCI was my favorite Game Knights episode, but when I say the quality of this episode was UNMATCHED, the intro, the game, the ENDING were truly remarkable. Bravo to all at The Command Zone. Tesya did not die in vain.

[@damienrice881]

I'm sick with like the flu or idk. But I've been coughing up a lot. Today I felt a lot better... Jimmy's delivery of his 1st line nearly killed me! Literally. I coughed/laughed intensely for like 15 seconds. Holy moly, this is the best mtg channel in the universe, hands down.

[@leemay7780]

thank you for showcasing mostly premier set commanders in this video

[@BadConAngel]

The time and effort put into the intro, the advertisements, and the in-game animations for some of the cards are the reasons why I love this channel. I started playing Magic a little over two years ago and I wouldn't have been nearly as invested in to if it wasn't for you. Thank you for another piece of quality content. 😁

[@anthonyellison5998]

The hilarious thing is that at 55:10 when Jimmy is asking Emily to counterspell it, she actually had a spellskite. So that means, she could have actually saved Jimmy lol. Pretty sure it got overlooked because of the chaos but if she chose to let it happen because she was salty over the attempted boardwipe that just makes it funnier.

[@MMikethehiker]

Who tf is Emily ??? Lol

I never saw your whole videos because if the flashy effects and the inner dialogues in the middle, but now I appreciate the cinematic feeling to it, love it!

[@JaySay]

Heeeeey! Arin's back on! And i'm so glad that he's here for the murder mystery Clue based set, because as we all know, he's the best at paying attention, following along, and uncovering mysteries!😂 Maybe they should've gotten his "Uncle" on for this one. *Spoiler* And he won! Who woulda thunk it?! Arin wasn't _solving_ the case, he was _DECEIVING_ everyone else! What a true mastermind!

[@godoy_]

Really didn't think Arin would win this episode! Such good plays

[@JaySay]

@@godoy_ Super shocked, too! I want to know how much input (if any) he had in building the deck for the show.

[@GurrasicPark]

Arin is absolutely hilarious. I've been watching him way longer than I've been playing Magic, and it's great to see how his sense of humor works in this style of video. That was a great game of commander with some super fun decks. I'm bummed we didn't get to see Rachel's deck pop off because her commander seems super fun to build around, but that's just how it goes sometimes. Loved this video and I can't wait to see what else these folks do with this release.

[@DrkWhiteWolf]

I can appreciate the Spanish J sound in Voja, personally I've always done the Scandinavian Y sound of J for a Vo-yuh pronounciation.

It is stupid because its set in “fictional Europe” it is pronounced Vo-ya or Vo-Ja with J like in Jordan for example

[@ferdithetank7535]

The production value of this episode went insanely high! Intro skit was amazing, gameplay was top notch too. Wonder if Jimmy thought about the line where after getting his bounce spell countered, he could've sacrificed his Mocking Doppleganger(which was Pride of the Hull Clade atm) in order to return it with Mirko at the end step as copy of Arin's commander. Perhaps that line was exactly why Arin chose the Altar of Dementia to get Rec't.

Best. Episode. Ever! The production level was unreal. Weird ruling question I'm hoping to clear as I want to build a Teysa, Opulent Oligarch deck. Annoited Procession seems to work on helping create two spirits instead of one. How come though? I thought generally "can't" usually beats "can", and Teysa say only once each turn

[@mikkelribe7]

Teysa says she can only trigger once each turn, meaning even if you sacrifice more clues she would not create spirits. While Anointed Procession doubles the amount of tokens from the trigger. if that makes sense.

Ruling question: Does Teferi´s Protection stop Commander Damage? - I don´t think so, the damage should be marked.... So Josh was already dead one turn before, right?

[@nathanmcduck2999]

It gives you protection from everything so you take no damage. If it didn't give you protection and only stated that your life total can't change, you would be right.

[@KingRorix]

​@@nathanmcduck2999Or there's an effect present that says damage can't be prevented, such as Questing Beast.

[@KingRorix]

@@aftermathofcool Tefer's Protection still prevents all damage as part of it granting protection from everything, so no commander damage is dealt.

[@KingRorix]

@@aftermathofcool It absolutely does; protection from something prevents damage from that source. Per rule 702.16e: "Any damage that would be dealt by sources that have the stated quality to a permanent or player with protection is prevented."

[@jolteon345]

Josh hit the nail on the head - part of the fun of Commander is finding the path, winning makes it more fun but if you see your deck function a loss shouldn’t take away from it.

[@yannickloiseau5898]

Great stint at the beginning. Haven't watched the full game yet, but had to say you were spot on. The production quality was really impressive, loved the guests, really fun to watch. Well done guys!
