Hi Team, Fantastic video. I'm looking into building the Imotekh deck. Any further changes been made by Jonathan?

[@nexusaquarion9281]

I’m want to know as well

[@blueeyedenvy9715]

2 hour 20 min game?!? Old school commander VS LOVE IT

[@remembertobreathe66]

Thank you, Stephen, for the laser swamp close-up.

[@thatman8848]

Love how much corey just makes everyone just laugh. Loved this game and of course he brought a mana drain in...lol

[@SonofAlbion]

12/10 really enjoyed this. Only got into MTG with these 40k pre con. I’ve learnt so much watching your games and upgrade videos. Thanks!

[@ryangoodenow2518]

Welcome to the game ! Have fun and enjoy yourself

[@gerald216]

Yes enjoy your self! Unless you play blue. Or red. Or black. Or white. Green is alright. Unless you play ramp then it's not ok. In all seriousness I recently started playing again and I hope you have a good time with the game it can be really awesome if you find good people to play with.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

Welcome to Magic! Hope you enjoy yourself.

[@符音-e6n]

Jonathan, I saw you at Magic 30 and we took picture together! Big fan! You are the best!

[@Alejandrodemontana]

Jeremy any time someone plays a card that advances their boardstate or draws them cards: “well that’s some nonsense” 😂

[@weirdo82]

To be fair they all talk like that. Stephen any time anyone plays anything that affects him, hell if Jeremy plays anything: "and this is why you get tazed".

[@Alejandrodemontana]

@@weirdo82 that’s true, it’s part of what makes it fun to watch them honestly.

[@kieranwouter2361]

Awesome episode guys - balanced, jovial, and light hearted. So much fun to watch. Low/no music was lovely too.

[@ronmarshall1566]

John's angry Yoda voice is so funny🤣

[@cas126]

Keep up the good work. These videos let me escape for a time the current medical conundrum im experiencing. If only for a couple hours, I can feel normal like I used to without being aware of my condition.

[@Russo_Hurtrax]

Reaaaally didn't expect a Mean Girls reference on a 40K special MTG show, but it was a nice one 😂

[@danielsinclair9263]

Or a finding Nemo one as well. “Ahhh you made me ink”.

[@skykur]

John’s light hearted complaining was cool this episode. And “an Armix and a leg” was the best thing I’ve ever heard

[@anonymoususer5351]

That Their Name is Death really sealed it, one sided board wipe backed up by the Scrapheap engine pretty much demanded another board wipe immediately

[@ben10sofie]

Everyone I've seen play Nids glosses over the Magus Lucea ability that copies X cost spells AND abilities. Very fun to build around.

[@Lohrenz01]

still believe that The Swarmlord is the vastly inferior commander. Honestly, both of the main commanders in this deck want you to do things the deck isn't *quite* focused on. The Swarmlord wants things with counters to die, which the deck has 0 ability to abuse. Lucea Kane wants x spells, which the deck only has about 10ish out of the box, but that's still more synergy then "Big boy beat face and refill hand when board die."

[@toddherink4234]

Definitely agree. X tribal is way more explosive; especially getting two ravenous triggers

[@pathora4484]

At 2:04:58 with regards to Fell the Mighty and killing/removing the targeted creature the card will in fact fizzle. Fell the mighty has the all important word "target" in it's text so the target must be chosen during the casting of the card and can't be changed without some kind of effect that changes the target of a spell. So if John removed the 1/1 token before it resolved then the spell would have fizzle and Steven would have gotten nothing.

[@Kristjan0209]

And that's why people don't run that card

[@Darkflamecrusader]

30:00 Steven should've gotten the tokens because the saga would've been off the battlefield when the third chapter trigger resolved reverting control of the creature back to Steven.

[@OGTahoe3]

55:00 "everything is just kicker"

[@kylekrazymars6726]

Encyclopedia Brown reference. Nice!

[@Hundo_Mo]

I was most excited about the Swarmlord deck when these were revealed. Watching its coooonstant threatening board-state is fun

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

40:31 cracks me up.

[@ryanhansen9779]

To MANASPLAIN explain Stephen's conundrum about lands and an Endless Atlas that Draws you cards. At 1:22:29 (reply) A Deck of MTG cards is called a Library. Books are stored in a library, clear so far? Okay, books are a collection of various pages bound together, you might Pore Over the Pages of a Book or Atlas to read and interpret it. Cards such as Urza's Tome, Jayemdae Tome, Scroll Rack, and Tamiyo's Journal all can help with card draw, or turning a Page of a Book in your Deck Library. An Atlas is a book filled with Maps of previously explored LANDS. Here, the Map is one page in the book. That is why Endless Atlas checks how many Swamps John has explored and draws more page images of those lands, in the form of Card Draw.

[@shawnaustin1037]

I personally would love to see Corey try and build a $50-$100 card budget, lol.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Me too thanks

[@grassynaga9092]

It’s a crime Swarmlord doesn’t have built in trample. Atleast let him be like primordial hydra and get it when he’s a 10/10… massive L on Wotc for that

[@Footlong-zf4tg]

Also 1:30:07 better name for the investigate skill "Shoot first, Ask questions later".

[@RyuPlaneswalker]

"However named these cards (Pink Horror and Blue Horror) I want words with them" Oh Corey, Slannesh wants words with you, and..other things that we can't bring up on youtube.

[@Skream1185]

They’re just some Island Boys! Lol

[@Azhalan]

Great episode, guys. However, the audio quality could be better. New microphones might be a good idea.

[@comtarter]

Yeah, love the show but some sort of lav mic would really help. It becomes super obvious when watching the original Commander VS and it has better audio..

[@Jchmcom]

"You wanna attack me for 21? I'll fog ya." "You have Darkness in your hand?" *shows it* "Yea I've had it since opening hand." Jon I just spit beer all over my keyboard. You owe me a new one.

[@Milohenry13]

I kept thinking that I was in an elevator while watching this video, because of the korny music track. 🤣🤣

[@Footlong-zf4tg]

All the references to laser swamp makes me wish they made a laser volcanic mountain as well so they could call it Disco Inferno.

[@alucarddelta6576]

I was thinking tremors for that flying tyrinad horror

[@ingolf82]

many of these green and red Tyranid X cost creatures just slot nicely into Raggadragga as the "7 cost" spell package cards, I just added Tervigon and mawloc. a good upgrade for Jereemy's Tyranid swarm deck is "Apocalypse Hydra", it's a 0/0 Hydra for XRG that enters with X counters on it, if X is 5 or more, it enters with twice as many counters and you can pay 1R and remove a counter to deeal 1 damage to target creature or player. But in that Tyranid swarm deck, doubling the counters on it is pretty good. I'm sure you put the Ozolith into the deck right? one upgrade change I would make to Jon's list is to add back "Convergence of Dominion" it would make things like Scrapheap scrounger only cost 1 black to bring back out, with Phyrexian altar, that's a lot of tokens with the commander. I'm not sure if "Convergence of Dominion" is from the black deck, but it is a warhammer card

[@nightbane727]

You can hear olivas influence on Jeremy in this vid lol Menace and chasm skulker

[@kingfuzzy2]

Hope this is majestic

[@jeffnorris211]

Kahhhhhh-zuhm skulker guys lol

[@skykur]

“I’ll block both!” “I’ll counterspell it” Lmao!

[@mrwittwer]

"Space Castles" if only they knew that there are in fact space castle warships in 40k

[@drgood33]

Hearing everyone tease Jon about not copying the GreatHenge and Jon saying : I regret nothing was super amusing.

[@peasant_mindset4505]

Is that how the sac trigger work, the third chapter trigger would resolve first then it gets sac’d?

[@JesseRachael]

You guys should have fans join! Id love to join haha

[@DurdleMagus]

Space Castles... Have you never seen KRULL?

[@moas_moas_moas]

You tell'em Stephen!

[@briankuczynski6884]

7:00 they absolutely do have castles in space! It was probably a flavor fail to not have a subtitled blavkstone fortress

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Would've loved to see Jeremy cast Final Fortune/any extra turn spell after getting all those counters on Simic Ascendancy...and Magus as the commander for some double XX hi-jinks, maybe even XXX. I mean I thought Jeremy was all about the X spells :P LOL

[@shmrgn3160]

The other commander for the Tyranid deck is NUTS. Her being a soul ring that is able to double up all of your x spells is REALLY strong

[@unimaginative_artist]

About time

[@kylecabrera142]

"Space castles? Sure..." *laughs is empirial fists*

[@Grapedanu5]

It's been a year and a thousand sets have released I wonder what good upgrades are out now haha

[@papalung420]

the background music is unnecessary, adds nothing and just muddles the dialogue audio.

[@bobisoft2k5]

Stephen Green: "Black doesn't really make a lot of tokens" Excuse you

[@ryanhuber2222]

I think it’s so funny when Corey just dumps money into decks. Then he complains about being targeted

[@soron703]

Jeremy's commander should've survived Corey's red x damage spell... he floated Jon's myr mana in a different phase, after the saga, then went to main phase for mana drain mana too 🤣 still watching if they catch this in a bit 😅

[@jonjustice5106]

What happened to Stephen green's sleeves they seemed to be blue Did I just turn color blind

It's actually my wife that noticed

[@kingfuzzy2]

[@yscg-4277]

I’m sad that John didn’t go with the obvious best Necron, Traezyn He’s strictly the best commander for the deck and you can’t change my mind

[@davidrosenberg9615]

You're misusing the word strictly. Yes, Trazyn is the most explosive, but to be strictly better cards generally have to do the same exact thing and one just does them better. The Necron legends have different effects, so there is some circumstantial variance.

[@yscg-4277]

@@davidrosenberg9615 both are artifact matters graveyard decks I don’t see much of a difference between any of the necron’s ability except HOW they choose to benefit from the graveyard/artifacts I don’t see how arguing semantics changes the point, however; but, if we must argue semantics… strictly here only means to emphasize or reinforce that traezyn is the best necron.

[@joedoe7572]

They were playing upgraded versions of the precons. I assume that implied or they agreed that they would only play the face or secondary commander from the precons

Everytime Cory talks I swear I wonder if he's ever read an MTG card before. Staples of modern 60 card magic and he doesn't even know Henge.

[@joshuajacobyap6222]

Corey played Mutualith Vortex Beast wrong. If Jon lose the flip means he won so he draws. Stephen and Jeremy won the flip so he lose so they lose life

Yes, technically Corey should have called all the flips, but they kept how they resolved it consistent so it doesn't really matter.

[@Kristjan0209]

I was so confused when he tried mortify that saga and even more confused when he countered it. I don't even need to explain why I'm confused since when it's last ability resolving awnsered it all

[@adizzle625]

If not mistaken if the Mortify had gone through, Stephen would have gotten back his Chasm Stalker. And prerty sure Stephen would fully be able to take advantage of a already 4 countered Chasm Stalker Just a thought though

[@joedoe7572]

@@adizzle625 but Corey would have kept his Great Unclean One to make a bunch of blockers. My main question is why didn't Corey activate Nicol Bolas's activated ability in response to it being targeted to be destroyed? He could have had Nicol Bolas the Arisen! And a bunch of blockers for it

[@Kristjan0209]

If I had a nickel for every time aberrant was put into play off of the first tyrannic war in a commander video I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened thrice. (funny enough when I first played that saga I also put aberrant into play)

[@Joescotterpuss]

For the Necrons deck do you just throw in a cabal coffers, disciple of the vault, syr Konrad, and whatever pet cards you feel like? Cause that deck is STRONK.

[@The_Koryth]

Bolas's Citadel is pretty nice 👌

[@pathora4484]

The deck is far and away the best pre-constructed deck of the four of them. There is a reason the deck is the most expensive one on the secondary mark.

[@imawaflbeast4864]

Is it just me or did Jeremy miss a bunch of triggers for simic ascendancy?

[@eyewazaru8942]

Am I wrong, or does the saga leave the battlefield before it's 3rd ability goes on the stack? Cause I'm really losing my mind over here watching Corey get these squids.

[@liamw.1313]

It’s a bit weird but it works like this: Saga gets final lore counter. Final Lore counter ability goes on the stack. Final lore counter ability resolves. Saga is sacrificed as a statebased action.

[@acetraker1988]

It is actually cringe to compare Necrons towards Terminators now, original yes, however the lore has seen significant improvements. -They were converted from flesh to living metal. So very different.

[@l6ogan9]

[@blaze376192]

Ngl, I find myself hitting the forward button alot here. Should take notes from dank dungeon. They edit out alot of the extra commentary while still keeping it funny

[@danielwoodard7310]

Why does John always pick on Jeremy

[@markbrierley6367]

A couple reasons. Jeremy builds decks that are easy to defeat, until they aren't. Jon knows the best way to handle that is to deal with it early. It's a product of them playing together for so long. Also Jeremy is the most chaotic of the players. You'd think it'd be Stephen, but if you watch long enough you'll see that Jeremy is more likely to make the spite play or poorly evaluate the board state. This leads to the same result; Jon takes the offender out early.

[@BrowneePointz]

Was a fun game up until the end. Rather dislike how everyone was allowed their decks to do its thing EXCEPT Corey's. Seeing the Fun Police player win just sucks the enjoyment out

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

I mean, Corey plays with an extremely competitive mindset in what's *ostensibly* a casual format. So yeah, he's going to end up as a target more often than not.
