We had real empathy for Brennan here, we want people to have fun playing magic! This section of the show is a big reason why we chose to air this episode even though it was an older episode.
@@IHateYourDeck I mean it always feels bad when you get color screwed but at least he was able to play spells and contribute in the early game (ish) 😅. Good on y’all and looking forward to more games because I hate all of y’all decks 🤧🤣
guys never change the way you've been doing these episodes. the raw live banter, no edits make this the most enjoyable commander series to watch. i've watched at least every episode 2 times.
There must be some edit as the searches and shuffling is not always shown. But I don't mind if the lulls where nobody says anything are edited out. I also like the banter. And one thing I have to say: Although US is a big mess now and I live in Finland, I'd pay an airfare to just get to play with these guys, but I don't have that kinda money.
Watched every episode so far love the show. If people are getting ticked off about a shirt then they need to grow up. Best thing about magic is that it brings people together who may have never met in any other way.
okay so i feel bad for J. Adams here man lol! I know the pain of being ganged up on and i could see that he was a bit salty about it but love the good sportsmanship yall always have fun no matter what and it is a inspiration to just have fun no matter what because thats the spirit of magic. Great content and as Joe always says "It's WHOLESOME MAGIC!" lol! Soooooo....I have a odd suggestion that i think your viewers and patrons would enjoy to see. What if you and your friends pick four decks lists or commanders each of you build that deck and each roll randomly for a deck to play. That way it is all by chance and luck with the fates of Magic. It would be fair magic too. Thank you for the content!
I tried that out before in my playgroup (swapping decks). it wasn't great because people don't know what to tutor for when they are unfamiliar with the deck. Everyone kept saying "I'm not sure what I should get...what should I get?" and it got downright painful after the 10th time.
It would have been better had he not played it until he could use it, because fear of his Commander entering play early is what got him killed. Jeska probably would have been sent at Lynch otherwise. .
That's what I thought at first, but then I realized it's probably really useful the 2nd time he casts Scion, he just needs to pay 4 mana and should have enough mana left to activate it's ability.
The point is everytime I cast Scion hes immediately targeted and killed so next time I can cast it for 4 mana. Thats the hope anyways. I've been testing it out and so far it helps.
It costs 0 and there was negligible risk of Counterspells or discard spells so aside from a Wheel of Fortune, I think it would be better kept in hand as a surprise. A major part of competitive Commander is setting up a win condition without everyone knowing it.
"Hate the deck, not the player💖" Great episode! I always look forward for the next ones :) Would love to see a rematch actually! Get that revenge, Scion of the Ur-Dragon! 🤭
Style points: + Brennan for his old-frame basic lands. That's the sign of good taste. + Joe for his OG Mana Crypt with Mark Tedin's art. Nothing can top that. Honorable mention: Lynch for always being cool and well-mannered.
You guys quickly took the spot of my favorite mtg show to watch! It really feels to me like I'm sitting next to the table and having a good time with all of you. Reminds me of the days when I used to play very regularly with some friends. You guys rock!
This commander series just popped up in my video feed, and I am so glad it did. By far the most entertaining edh game on TH-cam. Thanks for putting the content out for people to enjoy.
its not with the sion trigger though. its a free trigger and a half. he should have activated sion the turn it came down and got an etb dragon if he had one
@@gabrielfiorotto1435 not useless, but it takes up a slot for a very limited benefit. For the cost of JL, you can get a mana crypt which is repeatable mana.
24:45 I've never seen SALT captured so perfectly on video before! Very schadenfreude. *edit* And we all know that the top card of Adams/Scion's deck was probably Curiosity, so it's even better SALT because you took away his hope of winning with only 1 life...
Dude straight up sounds like he was about to break down and cry. Look buddy, you're in 5c with one of the best Commanders. You signed your death warrant when you sat down at the table, lol.
Yeah I don't think he should come back with that attitude, though it is really funny to watch. Actually yeah, invite him again then kill him first! See what happens.
You guys are hilarious! This was a fantastic episode and everyone surprisingly left the Edgar player alone, feels bad for the dragons though. I also really enjoy Lynch's behavior and attitude in these games. It is all for fun and show, MTG really is about bringing friends together and just playing and having fun. Sure it sucks to be taken out of the game quickly but that's why we always play more than once lol. Thanks again for the great video. Keep up the vibe Joseph! Black lands matter was great.
Joe: we gotta focus on the scion player Also joe: attacks lynch for 2 almost immediately.......lol Good games though gentlemen, always looking forward to the next game
This was fun to watch. Love to see the variety of decks in each episode. Also, it kinda feels like I'm playing along since I can't see each player's hand. Gives it a sense of anticipation.
Good game as always. I love watching you guys play. Joseph is so funny! Keep up the good work, we need that kind of entertainment especially right now.
I have an Edgar deck and it never fails to pop off like crazy every game. Vampires was the first deck I ever made when I started MTG during the original Zendikar block when I was in High School. They will always be my favorite tribe in mtg.
When Brennan searched his library for Captivating Vampire I immediately thought this was a poor choice. No black mana in play or in hand, the next card predetermined to be no land either. In my Edgar Markov Deck I would've gone for Mavren Fein.
Joe, big love from Brasil, thanks for being such a great dude, and congrats for standing up against the hate speech, we are together in this fight, hate will not be tolerated!
Plargg, Dean of chaos!!! Love the show and would love to see this commander go off. I recently pulled Plargg out of a pack and have been tossing around a few ideas for how to build him
I like how Lynch enjoys all the explosive plays even when they are against him. On the contrary, the dragon-player became visibly salty when he got knocked out. A different mentality I guess. Anyways, great episode as always! The overall quality is great and I'm sure that the minor issue with the glare on the cards will be resolved in the future.
yeah, too easy to win in a turn or two. And tbh: Jeweled Lotus is such a weird addition for a WUBRG commander... idk why he doesn't just put in a 2 drop mana rock that actually taps for a color haha
@@MovieManiac67 i was thinking the same thing. He needs to add it to a different deck and just run a fellwar stone or something else. Doesn't really help unless Scion has died and can help with CMDR Tax.
Pretty... let's call it brave... to tutor for a 2 black devotion vampire with no black source on hand or field. Keep it wholesome, have the best vampire so you know when it is coming. (Spoiler: Not very soon)
We need more edgar plays! I want a rematch between Edgar and the Kamalh combo. His start was unfortunate and felt very lack luster and we gotta see that dominating presence he has
Small mistake on lynch's part with the turn he played amulet of vigor Why take 2 from the land just to tap it to put amulet of vigor he could have just tapped another land for the vigor first and amulet would have untapped the shockland
This might be understandable since they are making content, but I don't understand leaving a player alone (as long as they are hitting land drops). In most of my EDH games, the damage gets spread around
It’s always a feel bad when you get targeted down just for what’s in your command zone. I understand how strong scion is and why they did it, but it sucks. I feel for the salty man. 😂
@@nemoforever for real like he could’ve used the opportunity on the channel to promote himself better but instead got salty when he was losing and got killed after being the biggest threat on the board…
This is absolutely the most entertaining format of commander battle reports I have seen on youtube, it reminds me of game nights with friends, well done guys! Also for an upcoming episode, would someone be willing to run a Nicol Bolas, the Ravager deck?
I do feel Ike you targeted the dragon player even tho he had literally no board state that was worth panicking over he’s a 5 color deck he has to build to what he wants while you guys are over there doing crazy stuff
This was a great episode, as always!! Thank you so much, kinda feel sorry for Scion but I've got a friend that beat us badly multiple times with Ur-Dragon so I'm not that sad lol
I feel very happy to live in a country where racism is much less present than it seems to be in America. I feel very sorry for people who face prejudice so commonly, not only based on race. I love the show and wish everyone involved the best! Greetings from Germany
Im both happy and upset with that with Markov winning. Happy because he is my second favorite but unhappy because he too strong. 😂 Also Joe with the BLM shirt. My man. ✊🏿
“You should’ve mulliganed” “THIS IS THE MULLIGAN” If this isn’t a mood in EDH, idk what is 😭🤧

"But I liked it."
4 white sources in an Edgar deck is still 2 too many
OK IM GONNA HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO SAY IT WHEN ARE U AND LYNCH GONNA FACE JOSH AND JIMMY
If Josh doesn’t play the Tim deck we riot
This.
2 headed giant!
And please destroy them. At least make Josh quit. 🤣
That would be a good episode, Josh and Jimmy would crush them though
Brennan was using that vampire mesmerize to keep everyone from looking his way. Edgar Markov would be proud.
He used Forerunner of the Legion to grab Captivating Vampire to be his muse
guys never change the way you've been doing these episodes. the raw live banter, no edits make this the most enjoyable commander series to watch. i've watched at least every episode 2 times.
This is legit the highlight of my day when these come out

Joe complaining about the Scion with as much land as he had was like listening to Jeff Bezos complain about the size of a local pizza place.
Everyone: Dragon decks are a threat!
Reality: Dragon Decks 0 - 4 and a Kaalia Deck opted no dragons.
As always it depends on the build but scion is usualy a fast combo enabler. Easy fast and effective
Comet ping pong by any chance?
Lynch paying life for a stomping ground, to then play amulet of vigor is what i call fair magic!
Now that I think about it... He would've actually survived if he played the Stomping Ground later
Also failed to attack before he wrath if God. Rough turn lol
I swear Joseph is definitely the antagonist of the series every time he seems to pop off
i'm like guys you got to kill him he's the arch enemy
I think they said that a few times in previous eps.
@@blackneto_ you and I should have I am Archenemy Shirts made. I sware I get targeted by my play group as soon as I my deck his cut‼️😂😂😂😂
Joseph is the Josh of his playgroup hahaha
@@blackneto_ lol bet my man 🤜🏾💥🤛🏾
They don’t go after him cause he’d scream racism.
Brennan should make a mono-white Edgar deck with how many Plains he drew!
Brennan using that "Salem's Lot" Ghost shirt while playing a Vampire Deck is exactly the kind of content I came for!
okay so i feel bad for J. Adams here man lol! I know the pain of being ganged up on and i could see that he was a bit salty about it but love the good sportsmanship yall always have fun no matter what and it is a inspiration to just have fun no matter what because thats the spirit of magic.

We have some other people mention this too. Maybe one day we’ll do it! Remember we film lots of episodes. So this wouldn’t happen for awhile.
@@michaeldlynch that's awesome! It makes me glad to to hear your feedback. I look forward to next months episode.
I tried that out before in my playgroup (swapping decks). it wasn't great because people don't know what to tutor for when they are unfamiliar with the deck. Everyone kept saying "I'm not sure what I should get...what should I get?" and it got downright painful after the 10th time.
favorite quote of this episode: Joes calm and benevolent "draw another card, player"
I read this comment right as he said it in my re-watch of this episode! Cool timing
Loved the “corrected” life total for Lynch 😂. Need to see some Najeela action up in here!
That jeweled lotus in a five color commander deck seems like a wierd flex. It serves no purpose other than to say "look, I have a jeweled lotus."
It would have been better had he not played it until he could use it, because fear of his Commander entering play early is what got him killed. Jeska probably would have been sent at Lynch otherwise. .
That's what I thought at first, but then I realized it's probably really useful the 2nd time he casts Scion, he just needs to pay 4 mana and should have enough mana left to activate it's ability.
The point is everytime I cast Scion hes immediately targeted and killed so next time I can cast it for 4 mana. Thats the hope anyways. I've been testing it out and so far it helps.
It costs 0 and there was negligible risk of Counterspells or discard spells so aside from a Wheel of Fortune, I think it would be better kept in hand as a surprise. A major part of competitive Commander is setting up a win condition without everyone knowing it.
"You know what Lynch? you know what?? You know what??? I'm swinging at Joe!"
That made me laugh so hard
I absolutely love the table talk and banter. It all flows so naturally. Nothing fake or put on for show, just some pals slamming cards.
"Hate the deck, not the player💖"
Great episode! I always look forward for the next ones :)
Would love to see a rematch actually! Get that revenge, Scion of the Ur-Dragon! 🤭
Style points:
+ Brennan for his old-frame basic lands. That's the sign of good taste.
+ Joe for his OG Mana Crypt with Mark Tedin's art. Nothing can top that.
Honorable mention: Lynch for always being cool and well-mannered.
You guys quickly took the spot of my favorite mtg show to watch! It really feels to me like I'm sitting next to the table and having a good time with all of you. Reminds me of the days when I used to play very regularly with some friends. You guys rock!
The commander that didn't get cast is the one that wins. Makes mental note.
eminence is a ridiculous mechanic. Highly recommended.
Markov having better stuff to do !! Nobles you know !
Eminence is a heluva drug
That's how Edgar works.
An Edgar deck didn't get targeted all game and ended up winning. I'm shocked.
Well thats what happen when someone is not dropping land/mana screw.
Im shock that he wont the game with only one swamp! ONE SWAMP!
I feel this game went slightly Archenemy the second they all saw The Ur-Dragon 😂
If that didn't happen they would be one shot by said Ur-Dragon
@@DarthTUK the combo kill is always there as well
Wonder if he could have imp seal before attack for a fiery emancipation and got some triple damage on the crack back with the ur dragon trigger.
Ur-dragon puts a target on your own back the moment you play it
Tbf the guy does have a jeweled lotus in there.
This commander series just popped up in my video feed, and I am so glad it did. By far the most entertaining edh game on TH-cam. Thanks for putting the content out for people to enjoy.
That was the most passive Markov I've ever seen lmao
Jewled lotus is kinda trash in a 5 colour commander with wburg
its not with the sion trigger though. its a free trigger and a half. he should have activated sion the turn it came down and got an etb dragon if he had one
@@TheUnderJaker jewelled lotus only lets you use the mana to cast a commander. Not anything else
@@aarongornalle29 you’re right. It siluck in 5 cokor
Welp, it kinda helps up with commander tax so it's not useless.
@@gabrielfiorotto1435 not useless, but it takes up a slot for a very limited benefit. For the cost of JL, you can get a mana crypt which is repeatable mana.

Watched enough episodes to know everyone should ignore Joe's politicking. Poor dragon deck, getting bullied.
As a fellow Scion player I totally felt his pain
Your guest wearing the Ghost shirt almost makes up for Lynch not wearing a Tool one.
I need to buy more Tool shirts.
@@michaeldlynch April 1st was April Tools Day. Merch was on sale, including a sweet new hoodie. Mark your calendar for next year.
I have an Edgar deck and it never fails to pop off like crazy every game. Vampires was the first deck I ever made when I started MTG during the original Zendikar block when I was in High School. They will always be my favorite tribe in mtg.
I would love to see a Tergrid God of Fright deck in action !
Yo that ghost shirt is dope
13:24 - Lynch mah man, you could have played the artifact before the land and save yourself 2 life
Exactly what I was going to say, then next turn when dude casts scion he had 2 mana he could have activated and got something with haste
I was looking to see if anyone timestamped it for him :)
Direct eye contact with camera~
BLACK LANDS MATTER!
Oh yeah, this is why i subscribe
My favourite thing about this is seeing someone run the Jeska/Kamahl sibling power duo
When Brennan searched his library for Captivating Vampire I immediately thought this was a poor choice. No black mana in play or in hand, the next card predetermined to be no land either. In my Edgar Markov Deck I would've gone for Mavren Fein.
Loved the salt from Scion dude.
I like how you all build interactive decks. Your videos are entertaining to watch.
Joe, big love from Brasil, thanks for being such a great dude, and congrats for standing up against the hate speech, we are together in this fight, hate will not be tolerated!
Am I the only one that heard a strange beeping noise throughout the video? Made me think my house was on fire for a sec.
We love the show and the "magic" you bring! We stand with you 100%!!
Imo, y'all are the only ones who can compete with Game Knights when it comes to entertaining gameplay. Keep doing what y'all do.
I feel like it’s sort of a 4 or 5 way tie. Game knights, the 99, I hate your deck, Playing with power, and Play to win
Joe's decks have been drawing such ire and hatred this series, the Captain approves. great episode guys.
Plargg, Dean of chaos!!! Love the show and would love to see this commander go off. I recently pulled Plargg out of a pack and have been tossing around a few ideas for how to build him
I like how Lynch enjoys all the explosive plays even when they are against him.

Anyways, great episode as always! The overall quality is great and I'm sure that the minor issue with the glare on the cards will be resolved in the future.
Yeah this was an older episode we just now aired. Most episodes will look like 5-7.
Love the BLM shirt!
No way the Spike fella that's gonna play Markov will let this one slip...
My bets are on the 'We Like Necks' crew
That's so nice that they've invited Shaggy to the game!
You're lucky Shaggy only used 10% of his power
My favourite commander channel is bringing me some Edgar Markov action! I'm really hyped for it!
Killing the Scion player first is always good threat assessment.
yeah, too easy to win in a turn or two.
And tbh: Jeweled Lotus is such a weird addition for a WUBRG commander... idk why he doesn't just put in a 2 drop mana rock that actually taps for a color haha
@@MovieManiac67 i was thinking the same thing. He needs to add it to a different deck and just run a fellwar stone or something else. Doesn't really help unless Scion has died and can help with CMDR Tax.
The scion player got SALTY about being properly assessed as a threat
Scion players all do this. They play a one shot deck and then complain when they're targeted down lol.
heartburn by adam hahahahahaha almost didn't even cast a spell
I love watching you guys! I’m already excited for the next. Glad I found you guys
Glad you found us too!
I really love your all content! I’ve been trying my best to wait patiently for this new video.
Keep the great content coming!
Would love to see one of you play Adrix and Nev. Thank you for the content guys.
I personally wouldn't mind seeing a Reaper King deck on the show.
I've watched every episode today and subbed, the content is great and the quality has gone up significantly like the audio for example. Keep it up fam
I’m going to need Wholesome Magic Pulls Through™️ on a shirt
When J. Adams took that 24 damage he straight up should’ve done the yugioh anime damage sound ‘nyhaaaa!! Nininininining!!’
Nice episode as usual. Great video montage also. You're getting better every episode Lynch!
I’m working on it. Juggling a lot of hats lol.
Ah yes, the classic "If I didn't lose I would of won"
i literally thought this exact same thing when he started explaining how he would’ve won. we’ve all been there before
The best part of my week is seeing the new IHYD gameplay :)
Pretty... let's call it brave... to tutor for a 2 black devotion vampire with no black source on hand or field. Keep it wholesome, have the best vampire so you know when it is coming. (Spoiler: Not very soon)
We need more edgar plays! I want a rematch between Edgar and the Kamalh combo. His start was unfortunate and felt very lack luster and we gotta see that dominating presence he has
Would love to see a Nekusar deck. That's like one of the most common "I hate it" commander's. I personally experience this a lot when I run mine.
As the guy who started Commander with the Edgar precon I was going to very ashamed if they didn't win
Joe was entertainingly carrying that episode on his back
It's cool you guys got Shaggy away from the gang to play some edh.
I love your content! Would love to see how much you hate a realy focused Mizzix deck^^
My dude Joe Adam's fit and cut got him looking like shaggy from Scooby-Doo

"...i really like that"
As someone who has played all four (five) of these Commanders, I must say I really loved this episode!
Loving the content as usual! Feel like my boy Ur dragon doesn’t have much luck on this show tho! Maybe one day. 😎
Black lands matter!...hilarious xD
Gotta say, not blocking rhada the second time was one the greediest plays I've seen in commander.
He should have lost. Over 21 commander damage
@@MrHanderson91 I don't believe that Rhada was Joe's commander.
I still love this channel and this show. I wanna build a Jeska/Kamahl deck of my own now. Looks like so much fun to play.
Zozu would have been hilarious in this game
I do feel Ike you targeted the dragon player even tho he had literally no board state that was worth panicking over he’s a 5 color deck he has to build to what he wants while you guys are over there doing crazy stuff
i would love to play magic against yall one day... love these episodes
That's my favorite thing about Commander: Everything balances out because people focus on those who are ahead and ignore those who are behind.
But for some reason people get salty when I kill them while they’re mana screwed.
Black Lands Matter, loved that🤣😂👍🏿
I would love to see a Zaffai deck on a show since Veyran is getting all the love
hahahahaha you made me laugh......... super fun. Just subscribed!!
Woof. Y'all just let the winner just walk away with it. Well done by the winner, playing that politic game.
The best thing Brennan had going was that Ghost shirt.
This was a great episode, as always!! Thank you so much, kinda feel sorry for Scion but I've got a friend that beat us badly multiple times with Ur-Dragon so I'm not that sad lol
Not exactly how I thought this game would end but the winner was who I thought it would be.
I feel very happy to live in a country where racism is much less present than it seems to be in America. I feel very sorry for people who face prejudice so commonly, not only based on race.
I love the show and wish everyone involved the best!
Greetings from Germany
Im both happy and upset with that with Markov winning. Happy because he is my second favorite but unhappy because he too strong. 😂
Also Joe with the BLM shirt. My man. ✊🏿

Never leave the vampire alive hahahhahaha! Good game guys
