- This game is all about friendships, even when they build your deck, and when they're passing you mixed signals during a chaos draft with your friends.

Cameron's transition to a filthy casual has been amazing to watch.
Thing is green stompy is usually a solid choice in draft or agro of any kind
@@michaelkeha he did still go to spiky storm player to guy who really would love to see what happened if these 2 8+ drops win him the game.
*slowly hides mirror-boar deckbox behind me*
true but I miss his old shenanigans like forcing storm in a set with no storm and playing sensei's top with counterbalance in EDH
@@josh___somethingdidn't they do an episode where he and Kathleen admitted they wanted were evolving into value magic players ie no more gimmicky control and mill but rather going for what is the best decks in a format?
@@michaelkeha well, specifically that they had a crisis when Mill was the most obvious strategy, and woefully considered playing good creatures instead of that sweet, sweet, alternate win cons.
15 mountains, since he took 1 during the draft :D Nice detail.
Nah, he's just that ballsy
He was drafting mono red. That's all you need.
@@thecx then how did adam(?) get red in the last pack?
@@bookworm3696 James took one mountain during the draft. He just needed 15 more for his deck.
When’d he take a mountain?
Getting inside the head of a mono-red drafter was on-point!
I AM A MONO-RED PLAYER AND PROUD OF IT, MON-RED FOR THE WIN!
"oooo a mountain!"
I think the intro card drops should include Beej as, like, a Jack of Diamonds.
Or a creature token
Or a Magic Puzzle Quest avatar
Naw, as a Cluedo card, like Mr. Green...
Pokemon card
Android: Netrunner
"wait, am I mad because I'm mad? that just makes me even more mad!"
Some realness right here.

a true red mage
This is the only reason anyone watches the official Magic the Gathering channel. xD
Yes. :)
You aren't wrong.
If I could I'd subscribe to just this xD
@@Broockle Good news, now you can. Wizards has ended their partnership with LRR. LRR is producing these independently again, starting in 2020.
@@DatBrasss
so just sub to LRR?
I already am anyway ^^
James: "Hey, a mountain!"
Me: *dies*
Accurate representation of how it feels when you're the only one at the table in monored!
Kathleen’s descent into confused madness is every delusional spike at a casual table, myself included
Kathleen is me drafting DMU
Beej shouting "Read the room!" just keeps me going back to this video time and time again. It's perfect.
i love how he has a voice crack while saying room so it sounds like he says huroom
Beej needs to be added to the opening as a Pokemon card
yoooo that would have been amazing hahaha
It's nice seeing Missie again.
Nooo! I need to see how Cam's games went! I'm too invested!
He either won all his games, or lost all of them. That doesn't dictate if his deck actually went off though.
@@josh___something I think the point was only James actually drafted a good deck, because he just went for what fit rather than overthinking it all. That was the whole message of the video, in my own over-analytical opinion....
@@andrewsparkes8829 James literally forced monored. I'm pretty sure that's not the lesson.
@@sankethbhaskar4236 Is it forcing monored when monored is 100% open for an eternity and you're not even seeing any fixing to take a second color with?
This was fantastic - an emotional roller coaster! While everyone was great, I think it must be pointed out that James brought a little something extra. He really dug deep and made you FEEL what it was like to be at the table for that draft.
This game really makes you FEEL like James Turner
I just want to appreciate Cam's attempts to be a good drafter. He tries not to commit to a multicolor early and reads the signals. The problem is no one else is signaling properly thanks to two people forcing and Missy taking every bit of fixing. That Pack 3 is exactly what happens every week in the local shop too. We all know it, we just enjoy it.
Ben's alive after eating the slaw?
He must be an eldritch abomination.
The slaw has now combined with the benjamin.
Aah, now I understand why his nails are blue...
"Lots of things" includes the deadliest poison and the most potent of remedies, which all cancelled out so that he felt no effect
@Phantom SnakeX +1/+1 and "lots of things"
@Phantom SnakeX I think menance or deathtouch would fit it better...
Honestly, I really love when you guys do bottle episodes like these. Just really nice to listen to some well written dialogue. (Although this was more like 6 simultaneous monologues, but you get what I mean)
Missie singing is actually great.
Please never end this series. Keeps the Magic community thriving and happy😄
This episode was gold. It's amazing how everyone had a full arc over the course of 11 minutes that fit their play styles to a T
Ben: Is annoyed at Adam from earlier so he purposely cuts him on Orzhov for most of the draft before coming to terms with the other side of the argument and realizing that Adam is also cutting him on Orzhov
Missy: Gets chromatic lantern and becomes laser focused on getting mana fixing and durtly stuff only to draft something with mostly fixing and hard to play bombs
James: One or 2 word thoughts for each quick pick until we realize at the end that it was because he was playing monored.
Adam: more or less the same story as Ben because they have really similar styles
Cam: Gets something insane in green pack one and starts going for it only to notice blue is possible, go full on into blue, realize that his blue pool is actually pretty bad and panic before picking up something in black to actually round his deck out
Kathleen: Desperately tries to read the table the entire time and draft accordingly only to make a pile of cards that are a bit of everything due to overthinking.
With WotC stiffing us on story for War of the Spark, this is now the best Magic lore out there.
I really loved this. Two perfectly reasonable people having a disagreement, stewing, cooling off and resolution. Especially a fan that solid bloke communication at the end haha
this is both a really tight, compelling script and very well shot and edited. i’m amazed that, of all things, a magic: the gathering sitcom manages to make an episode consisting of three near-visually-identical scenes so captivating. i dearly love these breaks from the formula, and i’m really excited for whatever the future of this show ends up looking like.
“Never first pick a gold card.”
Alara Reborn would like to know your location
love james in this, real good
Yep!
Ohh beautiful Psychic Corrosion... always destroying friendships
Mortify.
I say, I am so glad you guys switched to legendary cards in the opening. Much more funny. Also, I love that texmexproof moved from James to Adam
Going into a draft: Want to be like James was in this video!
Draft actually starts: Much more like Kathleen or Cam in this video......oops.
I have a nasty habit of winding up like Missie.
Except it sounds like Cam ended up with a reasonable deck. Sultai reanimator is the tits in chaos draft because it builds off stuff that is in basically every set- green fatties, blue filtering, black reanimation.
in chaos, I typically end up in red because it's always super-open, and it's pretty reasonably powerful.
@@madAlric Until everyone starts watching ths video...then red will never be open again!
@@andrewsparkes8829 *sigh,* too true.
This is why I dont read signals while drafting.
I think I have texmexproof, spicy food doesn't even phase me, and when it does, I enjoy it.
@GamerBear Unadapt?
@GamerBear Borborygmos
15 MOUNTAINS HERE I NEED 15 MOUNTAINS
More Ben and Adam. That’s what we needed! We’ve added more cast since Alex left friday nights.
Wait what?
I think adam is 120% more than alex by volume. He is such a burly boi, although I love both of them equally, but my favorite will always be cam.
Cameron: "I've got so many looters! So I can loot for..looters. Uh-oh"
LOL, although he really does play that way
Super glad to see Missie back
Kathleen is literally me in every draft, ever, and a bit of Missie sometimes too.
Really creative! Really enjoyed the Adam and Ben stuff, literally mirroring when my friends and I argue lol
OOf beej's line had some voice crack😂
what did he even say?
Yahel Hotam
“ReAd the rOom!”
That was the funniest part, I was cracking up..
Love the Kids in the Hall reference "Never put salt in your eyes!"
I love how everyone's feel about the draft is just getting better (except for Missie being good all throught) and Kathleen is just deteriorating.
I really want to see these games played out!
I’m disturbed how similar Missie’s strategy is to me. Thanks for the entertainment, and keep it up!
@1:54 I greatly appreciate this Kids in the Hall homage.
I don't even play magic anymore, I just love these
Same
I swear I watch this everytime I find out there is a draft event at my LGS in the near future.
Beejs delivery was just golden! A great episode as well! :)
Taking all the rares I'm taking all the rares 🤣🤣🤣
Psychic Corrosion. Bringing back salty memories since M19.
I can't wait to watch these on lrrmtg now that Magic has canceled official friday nights. I don't have to stay subscribed to the official page.
Wait, they cancelled Friday Nights? Why
@@fruitdragon3632 LRRMTG put put a video explaining why.
I love to imagine that "dark jeskai vs damp mardu" while the same colors, are wildly different play styles, like dark jeskai is nongreen spell slinger and damp mardu is nongreen attacky attack (which may be what the joke was but still fun to think about IMO)
You guys are in my head... Oh- Not like THAT
7:35 Me in every draft I play.
9:58 Me in every draft i play.
7:03 Me in every draft I play.
Casual King Yes! This moment is every single time :)
I don't know how but I keep on forgetting how cute Missie is. Thanks for reminding me!
Just wanted to compliment you on the AMAZING editing job you did for this video. Nice work, G!
Cam's joke about Kraken Hatchling strapping on a Trusty Machete is a deep cut. [Pun very much intended]
I'm a simple man. I see Missie, I like, comment, and subscribe.
Always first-pick Cameron.
Can we please, for the love of God, get some appreciation for Beej's "READ THE ROOM"
best one in ages! AMAZING
Ah
James's one-line picks were the best part
a friend got me Ravnic Allegiance fat pac- uhh I mean bundle and a new ep of Magic | Friday Nights? this must be a awesome thursday~
Missie’s singing voice is sweet!
The draft's pack-transitions were beautiful, and those long takes were amaze-balls. Fantastic job. I kinda missed the progression of a normal episode's plot, which is even more apparent when contrasted with the last two episodes' interwoven-double-plotline structure. Still, the winding paths that the six decks take through the draft does enough of a valiant impression of that structure to carry one through the episode, and there were some quite funny jokes and gags in there. 7.2/10
I finally understood an episode! I'm so happy. And Ben makes me want to paint my nails. His look so nice.
Never first pick a gold card. Never first pick a gold card. Never first pick-first pick a gold card. Never first-first pick a gold card. First pick a gold card. Always first pick the gold card!
So looking around the room and I just got to say I love your TARDIS as well as you Transformers Cybertron Optimus Prime. Nice touch
This was one of my favorite episodes in a while
All of James's picks broke me.
from the amount of friday nights i've binged lately i can only conclude that adam and ben are a couple
"I'm doomed" - me, halfway through pack 3 everytime
Huh
*Yep*
*Ooh, Neat*
Yawn
Sure
*Oh yeah*
Congratulations James, you're passing playables
*HEY A MOUNTAIN!*
**Hums**
Oh man, I have been having the worst luck recently but a new Friday Nights means things are looking up!
Cool, behind Missy you can see all 4 volumes of Nightmare / Atmosfear board games. I love the Harbingers game.
I drafted with Ravnica Allegiance last week, and it went horribly wrong. My Ill-Gotten Inheritance was my only saving grace lol. -_-
It truly was ill-gotten then
A C 🤣
Don't you mean it went exactly as planned? IGI is the best/most evil way you can win anyway.
Josh_Le_GamerYT oh for sure! It just sucks when you’re the one with all the bad cards haha 😂
James is a beautiful bastard in this, it was AMAZING when he started sleeving halfway into pack 3. xD
The "cool" part almost evolved into a pure Hot Rod "cool beans" moment.
10:15
I've had this exact same conversation with a friend before
i like that it goes back the other way they are passing.
Kids in the hall reference… tee hee. Always put salt in your eyes.
Ben: "a deck that will do things"
me: that's my favorite kind!
Hilarious as always - already looking forward to the next one!
That beginning part reminded me those old mana deck boxes great
Doesn't Cameron know he should never put salt in his eyes!
James looking for 15 mountains is my spirit animal.
"Read the room!"
How I'd like my drafts to go: James' mind.
How they actually go: Kathleen's.
I was not emotionally prepared for that drama. I need to sit down. I'm already sitting down.
James is literally just me every draft
This is pretty close to what I actually sound like in a draft. I talk more in the middle of picks than throughout the rest of the night.
Love Jameses reactions to the picks
am I the only one who noticed that the cables wrapped up on the wall behind ben's head during the draft are Black, red, green, blue, and white?
i believe this is another one take scene, realize that they need to create the right reactions in the right order
Oh I've been waiting a long time for this
I constantly play around sinister sabotages and settle and my opponent is actually just manascrewed
Does anyone else want to know what the hell they drafted... lmao... man this episode was awesomely hilarious lol.... like... I've rewatched this twice now! TWICE XD!
I wanted to post a funny quote from the drafting portion and comment on how accurate it was, but then that ended up applying to like half the lines.
I love this episode!
1:52 - This is not the kind of face you want to see across from you while you're drafting. He looks angry and disappointed. Angri-pointed?
Ben's nails are really pretty
I'm glad to see more adam
Too relatable. On every level.
*YES, NEW FRIDAY NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!*
