Stephen was so intoxicated from his maple syrup deck that he forgot how Felidar Retreat works and kept doing his land drops in his second main phase and missing the vigilance that comes with the +1 counters.

23:15 Stephen paid his taxes for the first time last episode. Baby steps bud, baby steps. lol

[@flare6255]

I love Jon's Kadena deck. Also I love how well Corey has integrated, it feels just like when I learned how to play Commander; your friends help you but also make sure to beat you down as much as possible.

[@kozilek13]

Jon’s Kadena deck is my fav deck. And watching him play from the couple of times in the past helped me play mine a lot better. 😅

[@aaronhooper4803]

You can sacrifice Kaya's Ghostform at the same time! 2019-05-03: If Kaya's Ghostform and the enchanted permanent are both put into graveyards and/or exiled at the same time, the enchanted permanent will be returned to the battlefield.

@Star city games I think Jeremy deck wizard of cost was thinking about Hydra not Jeremy Addition to villains Wealth

[@dangerdean9066]

I like how they added in a preview of what's to come.

[@Spooky-XVX]

I have to say, this show is a blessing. I stopped playing MTG for about 4 years now because my LGS drove away all of us by being very scummy and having some trouble with the law. But with a new shop opening, I dug my cards out and I saw my SCG tokens and my Stephen token and this show flooded back to me. Been binging it for a month and I am so happy to be back.

[@thirdfavouritechild9082]

Corey: "Your decks are very boring" Jon: "You're boring!" Best wordplay I've seen on this show so far :P, I loved it lol

When Stephen attacks two diff opponents each with a higher life total than another player he gets two triggers off Brenna not one

[@keatondavidson8733]

Dragon Shield art sleeves all smell like maple syrup for some reason it’s a little weird.

[@curiouschao1]

Dragonshield art sleeves get that smell over time and then it goes away eventually. I think it’s something to do with the ink.

[@keel1701]

Just a heads up, urine that smells like maple syrup could be a sign of either diabetic ketoacidosis or maple syrup urine disease. So... if anyone has been peeing on Stephen's sleeves they should probably go to a doctor.

[@nik700]

Is Corey playing Justin's deck?

[@eyescrossedFTW]

Got quite a backlog to go through but I really appreciate all this content to watch after coming home from work

[@TedMattos]

Loved this episode, gentlemen! Enjoying Corey's energy that has been brought.

[@robinvandepoele2117]

Great episode, although Stephen missplayed A LOT.. missed triggers, forgot vigilance and if I’m not mistaken, Breena can’t target herself if Sword of F&F is equipped

[@nemoforever]

Breena doesn't target

[@kandjar]

What a pleasure to watch those games :D I loved it!!! So fun!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@laffywaffy1989]

Love to see video where Corey finally gets to play with y'all against the horde or play double headed giant

[@chloop1330]

Some of my dragon shield sleeves smell like maple syrup as well 😂

[@shadowpsyke]

All of my Dragon Shield art sleeves smell like maple syrup and people think I'm insane when I bring it up

[@cyberboss309]

MY SLEVES SMELL LIKE THAT TOO. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY!

[@dominiclorann39]

Can confirm dragon shields newer art printed sleeves ALWAYS smell like maple syrup. And i aint complaining

[@WushuTaz]

Great game guys! Super sweet original foil Rhystic Study and Dust Bowl!

[@orochimaru56891]

Cape Canaveral is nowhere near DisneyLAND. DisneyLAND is in California :)

[@kingfuzzy2]

Yep disneyworld is deffo different.

[@stephengreen1887]

LISTEN I WAS WRONG OK ?

[@kingfuzzy2]

That's okay I don't know the difference either and I've been to both.

[@Ricardo-zo1ti]

Twice? I've seen Jon play Kedeena morph like 7 times lol

[@kingfuzzy2]

It might be because he's just that good at playing a game other than magic called digimon morphs

[@drgood33]

Amazing episode. Now I want an Odissey episode lol

[@DeathangelChrono]

I have a ruling question that pertains to Steven's board state. When the sword of the animus pulls a land and triggers land fall for +1+1 and vigilance from Felidar retreat. Does the vigilance affect the creatures before or after they would have tapped or does the tap step for the attacking creatures come before the land fall trigger. I do not know the full ruling on this and just wanted to know how it would change the game state.

[@Lucarioguild7]

You declare you're attackers at the same time(tap them), so they would be tapped when the attack trigger goes on the stack

[@deandreholmes3807]

Jeremy, your Mouse Rat shirt is 👌🏼👌🏼

[@psychozen7169]

If Dan parents become fans that two more subscribers.

[@ericriner9425]

I've got a couple of packs of dragon shields that smell like maple syrup too.

[@T_Peazy]

I've noticed that a lot

[@VesukeUchiha]

It’s the glue they use. Must be maple or sum cause every DS that I’ve gotten has been maple scented

[@Synedrex12]

No way! I got some and thought I was crazy, but my playgroup could smell it too.

[@OmegaMTG]

Fun game, thank you.

[@FoxTashikata]

This is basically WWE for Magic players

[@CA-zn8hu]

Corey's been such a breath of fresh air. I do hope Justin is doing well but I'm glad we got Corey into the format.

[@epicfail9271]

Why did Justin leave? Didn't watch for a long time

[@CA-zn8hu]

@@epicfail9271 I believe he had a long term family issue of somekind come up.

[@matthewlarson9162]

Steven green playing against rhystic study like he’s playing a game of Uno 😂

[@dustinhutcheson7825]

The balance of playgroups is very interesting. The addition of Corey and absence of Justin has definitely swung things in Steven and Jon’s favor.

[@mastershake42019]

Zaxara was my very first commander. Always loved casting my opponents cards and no funner way to do that then villainous wealth.

[@liddantheone]

As a fellow mischievous monkey lover I would've loved to see Ragavan. Loved the ep anyway!

[@razielthedamn4301]

Its best when playing own deck.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Can't wait to see how absurd their personal decks are.

[@lifetimesoccerplaya]

hey @starcitygames team, what have you switched to for audio recording, noticed you're not on headsets anymore

[@gragrim]

Stephen Green played the deck after eating some pancakes 🥞.. he was playin at dennys for sure

[@joshualynn9337]

The sleeves smelling like syrup is actually common now, everytime I buy those types of sleeves they have that smell

[@skykur]

I made a Kadena deck once, but I had so many morphs, I was constantly checking to see what was face down 🤦🏼

[@joshuaseburn4545]

Team green

[@salsathe4th]

I thought Corey was going to make my Maelstrom Wanderer deck as his first personal deck ;)

[@kingfuzzy2]

Me too thanks.

[@bernardorico8927]

Would be unfair to everyone else. Lol.

[@jasonmerril]

I wouldn't mind seeing only one block set games. Mirrodin, Alara, Loyrwin, Urza, Onslaught, Original Kamagawa, ECT

[@MrRoderickweise]

I love the Kadena deck! Awesome to see it back. Kadena is probably my favorite personal built deck that I have in Sultai color.

[@kozilek13]

Same! It’s so much fun. And when I play at tables I’m usually the least threatening

#TeamCorey for life!

[@GuyrillaBraun]

Corey officially won me over by playing Massacre Girl, she's my absolute favorite

[@markbrierley6367]

Steven doesn't equip with lands he's about to untap at least twice. Wonder what he had in his hand that made him not tap out. Especially to protect his commander against three black decks. Also misses drawing 7 cards from hitting Jon.

[@DCAMM720]

Wish I had Jon's Kadena list :(

[@ninjadave3281]

I've also got some dragon shields that smell like maple syrup. That's really weird.

[@kozilek13]

They need the mics back. Makes the audio more even. I know Corey is louder than the rest but still.

[@dannybuckles2070]

Sound is awful without the mics

[@anthonygilmore5424]

I haven't been able to watch much lately. What happened with Justin?

[@Mox_Normandy]

He stepped away from making content to take care of his family after some medical stuff happened. He has updates on his twitter.

[@DrewTurney]

Y'all should do the opposite now. Let Corey pick everyone else's Commander's and let everyone else pick his.

[@mandielyn0416]

Did I miss an update on Justin? Is he not coming back?

Indefinite hiatus

Is it just me or has the sound just been really bad the past episodes?

[@naldric]

I totally watch Commander Clash just for Jonathan... and all for the wrong reasons

[@Dark-Pikachu1]

Hi

[@regail7143]

Breena is so sweet

[@brandonschaber3705]

I don't think Steven can give Breena +1/+1 counters when it is equipped with SoFaF, cause it becomes pro-black

[@pathora4484]

You would think that but nowhere in Breena's text does it say "target". All it says is put 2 +1/+1 counters on a creature you control. This is very significant because protection only cares about targeting and if the card does not say target then it can't stop it.

[@magicaltony2281]

I have heard fenugreek makes your bo smell like bo

[@thatman8848]

I thought Corey was cool before, like S. Green is a national treasure, but god damn, when he said I am playing the N. Bolas, the ravager deck, a deck I tortured people over for ages, Corey earned a place in my cold heart.
