Joe is the guy who got me into Magic and welcomed me into his pod. He's a man of many talents and a wonderful friend, I'm so happy that the MTG community gets to experience the positive vibes he brings to this and any hobby.
Imagine you go to game knights. Imagine, you got a "kill Jimmy/kill Josh coin". Imagine you are able to flip it. Imagine you flip it with both Jimmy and Josh trying to negotiate a deal with you. And then imagine you win the game. Just a crazy game
Joe was very compelling and I thought the rats deck was pretty cool… but l found her commentary a bit needy/annoying. It’s could have been the way that GK did their edits/cuts but I wasn’t impressed with her interactions with the crew.
@@InnateOwl Imagine having someone you don't know enjoying a chill commander game with content creators they like and read your comments. YOU are being mean. It wasn't and never was supposed to be a contest of who would be the best guest.
I'm only 25 minutes into the episode, but Joe has been one of my favorite guests. Chill, funny, he's just bringing in a positive vibe. Man is happy to be there and it shows.
@@bobroberts5820 Think it's mainly the deck Joe's had a lot of interaction and never became to much of a threat while Violet's became powerful so fast that it wanted you to root against her at least that's how I felt. Though that's me in general I see someone dominate the majority of an episode with little to no real challenge from the oppenents I end up disliking the episode wishing that there was another match to see more of the other decks.
yeah i mean, as soon as the synergy was revealed it was pretty obvious to me rats were gonna pretty much overrun the game. Inkmoth was probably the only thing that couldve beat her. People always sleep on rat decks until they are getting attacked by over 20 rat colonies and then they go "ahh yeah, rats..".
To be fair, Joe could've searched a board wipe instead of ink shield and Josh or Jimmy would've probably won, but I respect the choice to go for what could've been a winning play instead
Violet pulling out the coin felt like a whole JoJo part 2 moment or just some huge brain next level anime thought moment. "Your fates were sealed the moment you started this game! I predicted this very moment long before the game even started!"
I did the math and was saddened by the result. I was rooting for Joe, but Josh managed to out-draw him. Josh drew 26 cards and Joe drew only 23, though Joe did actually have more card advantage than Josh, since Josh had to discard cards as part of drawing with Shoruki (Joe had 15 card advantage while Josh had 13). By the end, Jimmy had actually drawn more cards than Joe too, having drawn 25 cards, but only having 11 card advantage since a bunch of draw came from Valakut Awakening which discarded much of his hand. Violet only drew 14 cards, but had 38 card advantage thanks to tutoring all the Rat Colonies to her hand and thanks to Bolas's Citadel. Overall, Josh had the most card selection and Violet had the most card advantage.
I mean to be totally fair, it wasn't some-ONE that killed Josh, it was Jimmy literally throwing every thing at him and then Violet doing just about the same back to back. Pretty unfair to be honest. But I think it's probably cause they went easy to not just try to wreck the guests/fans because that would probably come off pretty lame and also be unfun for the guests. Josh wasn't the main threat on the board for pretty much the entire match. Sure his board was getting pretty good, but Violet had the most threats the entire match and Jimmy didn't put a single thing except his bird at her the entire match. IDK, I felt like they did Josh dirty lol.
@@wowomah6194 Yea, there's a bias against Josh here because he likes to play blue and control style decks. Trust me, he's won games without playing blue or control, but the people here often ignore that. Just to warn you.
@@robertbolea6442yeah that was crazy. He definitely won “flex of the knight”. I was rooting for Joe but he built a pretty nasty rat deck. Kudos to him, deck building isn’t easy.
Everyone else: *thinking extremely hard, playing politics, making stacks* Violet: *pouring out another bucket of rats on the table & flipping a coin to decide who she eats first*
Not really, Jimmy fucked up by not saving the Natures claim to destroy the Bolas Citadel. Instead, he chose to destroy Shoriki which wasn’t doing anything, and Josh was gonna die anyways.
@CaptainZone1337 part of his deal was to do as much damage as possible to Josh. With combat blocked, he upheld his deal by spending removal. Was it smart? No. Was it honest? Yes
2 players had the occasion to deal definitly with Violet who was the obvious letal threat and chose not to do it to prevent a future potential threat, both ending dying by her hand. That's frustrating.
Violet absolutely crushed it, I love it when players just go for the big plays and don't hold anything back. Swinging for exactly 1,000 damage with rats. Legendary game.
This episode had me reeling. These fans brought such a great vibe and the cutaways were so great. Man this game was an absolute blast. THE COIN!!! Like omg how to have the foresight to not only have a coin but also be in the situation where it comes into play is frickin' hilarious as much as it was iconic. What a great yearly tradition, and what a fantastic game.
jimmy has won a very few times but like others he IS the reason i found and watch Game Knights and the the Prof too for being the other person i found when learning to play the game. they are also the reason i found and really got into EDH and deck building and have 50 plus decks now not counting precons.
Josh at 0:31 "Trust me, you can not tell who's going to win until the very last moment." Me from about 41:15 on: "Wow, I can't wait to see how they stop Violet from killing them all." Me at 1:07:32 "WOW! I can't wait to see what Chaos Warp flips that keeps Violet from winning the game!" Me at 1:08:10 "Oh. You lied to me Josh, it was pretty clear Violet was going to win from halfway through the game."
I've watched every single episode of Game Knights since the first one. Violet pulling out that coin was my all time favorite moment on the series. I literally lost it 😂 what an MVP
Well Jimmy is a red player since he likes to burn people out & kill people quickly, whereas Josh prefers to draw a bunch of cards and be the blue player basically being the control player in the table
The fans this time around made for some of the most entertaining, hilarious, one-in-a-million interactions I’ve ever seen!!(Let alone in Game Knights!!) I would love to see them come back!! That Jimmy/Josh kill coin was gold😭😭😂😂😂
I don't know if it's because it's one of my playgroups collective favorite cards, but I saw that [[Inkshield]] coming from about 1,000 miles away; it was then confirmed for me when he wanted the [[Phyrexian Altar]] gone. Great game btw, loved the rediculous amount of lethal damage done.
@@SkaalKesh while a good pick, funny, and he'd behave like that, Rakdos Charm kills her and Inkshield wins him the game. Rakdos Charm should have been eliminated as a guess when he said he couldn't save Josh.
gotta love jimmy being king maker against a board that immediately ends the game vs someone that has an answer to said board and him losing because of his choice.
Strats like that rat deck are why I strongly believe every single Red deck should run electrickery, ideally in combination with Sawhorn Nemesis and/or dual strike. It's a flexible, affordable solution to tokens and low-toughness creatures everywhere. If those rats had been nuked before the toughness bonuses kicked in, that machine would've been crippled hard.
Josh phasing out with Teferi’s Protection the one time a board wipe is played so he has all the advantage is exactly why board wipes aren’t often played in Game Knights lol
I think this is my favorite episode I have seen from you guys. Just watching the reaction of the fans and how they explain how amazing their experience was. I am so happy for those fans. I truly believe you guys should do these more often and let other fans take part of the experience.
I just started playing MTG within the last Month, my friends showed me how to play commander and I became hooked. I now have my own deck and watch this channel has been so entertaining and helps me better understand some strategies for playing!
I think this is the episode I enjoyed the most of all the gameknights. Great power lvl, everybody got to do their stuff. I didn't notice any noticeable missplay or rule error. The coin was awesome. Don't know, loved everything. This is proof these episodes aren't scripted; you can't script something this good. Congrats to everyone!
One small missplay was that all of jimmys dorks would've died when ragadraga died in combat since they all had 1 damage marked on them and lost the +2/+2 from his commander. Didn't change anything.
I was so hoping for Rakdos Charm! Always the perfect bittersweet answer to a massive board state like that. Inkshield is pretty boss though too. Most I've seen is 87 Inklings.
What’s awesome about these Game Knights is that rat deck helped ME strategize the kind of deck I’m looking to build. I’m trying to main a Tales of Middle Earth themed deck and I’m a sucker for the Nazgul cards and its ability to have 9 in a deck. Thank you, Violet!!!
You need to make these 2 regular appearances, they are SO entertaining. Joe is my favorite he is so down to earth and chill and violet is also very very funny and kills it with rats! Def. fits the vibe
This episode is my favorite. Joe seems like sweetie and a real mensch. Violet is an absolute powerhouse and I'm so glad to see someone like me on an episode of Game Knights! Violet, thanks for being an awesome inspiration!
Rat Colonoy is the entire reason that I love cards like Curse of Death's Hold. Rat colony was what someone ran in my first pod. That first game was Rat Colony, Elves, and Goblins. Taught me an important lesson that day.
That was a fantastic episode. Fun to watch. The fan personalities were a delight and the interaction between the players really helped bring the game to life. Everyone got to do the things their deck enjoyed doing. Also yeah, that custom coin was spot on and really fun to see! Another great episode. Thanks for making these.
I made a Marrow-gnawer deck a few years ago, seeing one being ran here with many of the same cards as me was real fun. Saw some new ones i might have to throw in my deck if i ever decide to play it again. Great episode, Joe had great energy! Violet queen of the rats did great, love to see rats go crazy.
I absolutely love rat decks and was pulling for Violet the whole time, it was awesome getting to see her sweep the table with a giant field of squeakers. Joe was great too, and he made some cluch plays that really kept it interesting. Both guests had great personalities and brought great decks.
This is Joe, the Marchesa player! Thank you again for the amazing time, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience! Also Esper Sentinel 😍😍😍
As far as I know you’re the first player to concede on game knights (I may be wrong idk) but great deck would’ve loved to see it win
Make them bring you back
Dude, your vibes were awesome! Hope you come back!
Next time you won't underestimate the power of the Goth GF!!!!!
(Y'know? Because rats, and all the black, and lulz?)
This was an awesome episode. Loved you and Violet’s vibe throughout the episode.
Huge props to the production team for not only making a great show as always, but also calculating the rat colony’s powers.
Joe is the guy who got me into Magic and welcomed me into his pod. He's a man of many talents and a wonderful friend, I'm so happy that the MTG community gets to experience the positive vibes he brings to this and any hobby.
I'd like to think we all know joe personally
Lucky, my pod is small and I'm the one who loves mtg way more lol hurts tbh
Card draw totals:
Josh: 25 (+1 Tutor)
Joe: 19 (+1 Tutor)
Jimmy: 24 (+1 Tutor)
Violet: 17 (+25 Tutor, +4 Cast from top)
First thing I scrolled down to see. Thanks for the counts, and sad to see Joe didn't outdraw Josh
Wait does that mean I drew the most cards?! Wow
@@toomanyrats534 You definitely grabbed the most cards out of your deck!
@@toomanyrats534Nekusar says "we could count that if you like..."
Now these are the stats we really need.
Imagine you go to game knights.
Imagine, you got a "kill Jimmy/kill Josh coin".
Imagine you are able to flip it.
Imagine you flip it with both Jimmy and Josh trying to negotiate a deal with you.
And then imagine you win the game.
Just a crazy game
So good! Loved every bit of it!
This totally sounds like one of those awkward Mary Sue fanfiction stories.
Imagine you than kill Thema both anyway.
She literally killed Jimmy with 8 125 attack creatures. That’s 1000 damage, probably the most damage in combat on game knights (that I can think of)
@@torredurant1523i mean, the keeper of the sacred word in the un-set game could have theoretically been more but it’s undefined
I hope they get Joe back. He was amazing to watch. One of the best episodes.
Joe was very compelling and I thought the rats deck was pretty cool… but l found her commentary a bit needy/annoying. It’s could have been the way that GK did their edits/cuts but I wasn’t impressed with her interactions with the crew.
@ryancahill728 nah you're totally right. She sounds mean at times

@@Sutefusama I ain't reading all that sorry bud
@@ryancahill728 can you just chill and enjoy the game instead of shitting on her? It’s giving jealous vibes.

Right all these guys played well n had fun! Very gg
Clark Kent vibes
Violet was really good and the coin was an absolute power move but yeah, Joe was so good I'd love to see him again sometime
@@bobroberts5820 Think it's mainly the deck Joe's had a lot of interaction and never became to much of a threat while Violet's became powerful so fast that it wanted you to root against her at least that's how I felt. Though that's me in general I see someone dominate the majority of an episode with little to no real challenge from the oppenents I end up disliking the episode wishing that there was another match to see more of the other decks.
The Kill Josh/Jimmy coin was the biggest flex
Josh should've said "not it"
Bringing a custom "Kill Josh/Kill Jimmy" coin is such a power move!
Next level metagaming 😂
I just laughed out loud, it was such a perfect move
Imagine selling those custom coins. Profit guaranteed
Josh : "We dont know Who is gonna win until the very end"
Violet, Who was the main threat for more than half the game : "Am I a joke to you?"
Yeah, that was kind of a straight up lie.
yeah i mean, as soon as the synergy was revealed it was pretty obvious to me rats were gonna pretty much overrun the game. Inkmoth was probably the only thing that couldve beat her. People always sleep on rat decks until they are getting attacked by over 20 rat colonies and then they go "ahh yeah, rats..".
I kept thinking joe would pull something up to the end because of his comment. Lies 😂
that violet dude was weird. lol. Joe killed it though.
To be fair, Joe could've searched a board wipe instead of ink shield and Josh or Jimmy would've probably won, but I respect the choice to go for what could've been a winning play instead
I’m here for Joe, that dude is chill and funny. Fantastic picks for fans this episode
W Joe
Maybe people named with the name lee like drawing card 🤔
Loved him
The Asian Hank Hill honestly, can't not love him 😅
@@toomanyrats534 no the fact that they choose that person only for the fact they are trans is the “woke” part
Violet pulling out the coin felt like a whole JoJo part 2 moment or just some huge brain next level anime thought moment. "Your fates were sealed the moment you started this game! I predicted this very moment long before the game even started!"
"Play your cards, yugi boy"
😂
Hey! I’m the friend of violets that made the kill coin! Shoutout my sister Kim for sculpting and 3D printing it for her. Teehee.
Absolutely massive flex lmao
It was so cool, well done you!
Josh saying “we don’t know who is gonna win until the very end” had me thinking that Chaos Warp was about to be the greatest play in history
‘Rats notoriously do not have wings’ - *Laughs in Simic*
Oh look, a pigeon!
leave it to the simic combine to take an extra 4 steps to invent "bats"
“It’s easy! Look! I made a pigeon rat!”
Bats: described as rats with wings
*laughs in Old Flitterfang*
I did the math and was saddened by the result. I was rooting for Joe, but Josh managed to out-draw him.

Game Knights, you NEED to get Joe back on the show. What a cool dude!
Bring back Joe! He such a cool dude!
Joe Lee is great I would enjoy playing a game with that dude lol
I 100% agree he seems to bring light to the table with such a calm voice, love his vibe. So peaceful and intelligent
Joe is probably my favorite guest to have ever been on game knights!
Oh my god.
Someone actually killed josh first and stopped him from running away with the game!
All in all an awesome game to see!
I know, right??
Ummm, I get that you guys are new to Game Knights, but that's not exactly new guys.....
I mean to be totally fair, it wasn't some-ONE that killed Josh, it was Jimmy literally throwing every thing at him and then Violet doing just about the same back to back. Pretty unfair to be honest.

Joe: I will outdraw Josh.
Violet: Hold my hand while I draw 24 rats.
Can we all agree that Violet pulling that coin as absolute incredible?😂
Well, she was given it by a friend just for the decision that needed to BE decided with the coin flip
One of the biggest gigachad moments ever.

There was better threat assessment this episode than the last 10 episodes. Great game!
Not really, Jimmy fucked up by not saving the Natures claim to destroy the Bolas Citadel. Instead, he chose to destroy Shoriki which wasn’t doing anything, and Josh was gonna die anyways.
@CaptainZone1337 Agreed. But I did say better, not perfect. There was actual back-and-forth
@CaptainZone1337 part of his deal was to do as much damage as possible to Josh. With combat blocked, he upheld his deal by spending removal. Was it smart? No. Was it honest? Yes
He never specifically said that and the deal was to kill Josh with inkmoth

The vengeance of the rat came strong and swift.
Than swings for a THOUSAND rat damage 😂

Josh playing the skull clamp like “I don’t want them to know what I am up to. “ it’s Josh Lee Kwai, he is always going to draw cards
I always root for Jimmy even though he never wins. Go Jimmy!
Jimmys a champ
In fact it's bc of jimmy that I even started watching game knights and got into commander in the first place.
@@SpecialKail Yup, Jimmy is fun, he keeps this watchable.
jimmy has won a very few times but like others he IS the reason i found and watch Game Knights and the the Prof too for being the other person i found when learning to play the game.
they are also the reason i found and really got into EDH and deck building and have 50 plus decks now not counting precons.
HAHAHAHA THAT'S SO TRUE
Two weeks ago, I discovered Rat colony on Arena, and made a marrow gnawer deck, I love it. Then I saw this video, I screamed
Josh at 0:31 "Trust me, you can not tell who's going to win until the very last moment." Me from about 41:15 on: "Wow, I can't wait to see how they stop Violet from killing them all."

I've watched every single episode of Game Knights since the first one.
Violet pulling out that coin was my all time favorite moment on the series. I literally lost it 😂 what an MVP
knowing that they brought there favorite decks im guessing jimmy is playing red and josh is playing blue
well you ain't wrong
Well Jimmy is a red player since he likes to burn people out & kill people quickly, whereas Josh prefers to draw a bunch of cards and be the blue player basically being the control player in the table
When you're right you're right
Jimmy red green, josh blue white
@@dillongause7528 red green and blue white are still red and blue respectively. just with additional colors
One of the funniest games of Game Knights i've seen in a long time. Joe and Violet were great!
Wow those guests were great, the rat deck really did shine, and Joe outdrew Josh. One of the best episodes.
Joe was a cool AF dude! I'd play with him any day of the week! I was rooting for him the entire time! Great pick guys!
Awesome guests, I vibe real hard with Joe and his card choices and Violet's coin was absolutely hilarious
Joe is really the manifestation all of us who been watching CZ for ages Lol Awesome game from Joe & Violet!
The best Esper Sentinel in the history of Game Knights!
That honestly may have been the best Esper Sentinel ever lol.
It turns out that Violet is the giant rat that makes all of da rules
Violet is a dude playing games. lol.
Heyo!! Big congrats to both Joe and Violet! You did the fans proud 👏👏👏
Can't believe Violet had that coin ready - amazing!
Joe's vibe is awesome! Bring him back!
Absolutely adore both Violet and Joe! That Rat deck was insane!
Joe should get another episode! Loved his demeanor and what he brought to the table.
I loved this fan episode. Both fans were amazing to see on camera and I will absolutely audition to give myself a chance to join the crew in a game.
The entire time playing with Bolas’s Citadel for the past year, I had no idea that tap ability was on there
The coin was BY FAR the best moment of the game
That rat deck was insane! I love token decks like that where you can make a million tokens, and each token has a billion power. So awesome!
Joe seems like an awesome player to have in a pod. So chill
The fans this time around made for some of the most entertaining, hilarious, one-in-a-million interactions I’ve ever seen!!(Let alone in Game Knights!!) I would love to see them come back!!
That Jimmy/Josh kill coin was gold😭😭😂😂😂
man I was rooting for a Rakdos Charm from Joe! with the amount of creatures on the board, could have one-shot the table.
I guessed Deflecting Palm
@@swipen1670That was also my guess.
Marrow-Gnawer was my second ever commander deck. Actually makes me want to rebuild it.
Thanks for this awesome episode!
Everyone had a chance to say "and then, I had my marrow gnawed" and no one took it
I don't know if it's because it's one of my playgroups collective favorite cards, but I saw that [[Inkshield]] coming from about 1,000 miles away; it was then confirmed for me when he wanted the [[Phyrexian Altar]] gone.
Great game btw, loved the rediculous amount of lethal damage done.
I was about 99% confident it was an Inkshield. As soon as he wanted the Altar to be removed, it was 100% certainty.
I thought Rakdos Charm. Probably me playing too much Jund lol.
@@SkaalKesh while a good pick, funny, and he'd behave like that, Rakdos Charm kills her and Inkshield wins him the game. Rakdos Charm should have been eliminated as a guess when he said he couldn't save Josh.
Also, Joe could have made a deal with Jimmy to destroy the altair instead of bolas citadel
gotta love jimmy being king maker against a board that immediately ends the game vs someone that has an answer to said board and him losing because of his choice.
Every time I see a Rat Colony deck it just makes me want to make one...guess I know what deck I'm building next then :D
the animations ARE SO GOOD like the channel has gotten so much better and the New Shorikai is an improvement
Strats like that rat deck are why I strongly believe every single Red deck should run electrickery, ideally in combination with Sawhorn Nemesis and/or dual strike. It's a flexible, affordable solution to tokens and low-toughness creatures everywhere. If those rats had been nuked before the toughness bonuses kicked in, that machine would've been crippled hard.
Josh phasing out with Teferi’s Protection the one time a board wipe is played so he has all the advantage is exactly why board wipes aren’t often played in Game Knights lol
That's why you should keep about 4 of them in your deck haha.
should have played farewell, austere command is way outdated.
@@skykurFarewell is somewhat feels bad though, it would have lead to a very sluggish game if everything, including graveyards, were exiled.

@@InnateOwl the new rat tokens from wilds of eldraine can't block. Rat tokens created by older cards usually can block

Was anyone else expecting Joe to pull out a tutored Rakdos Charm the whole time? Lmao
Same
i didnt even think about that, i was expecting a settle the wreckage
I was so hoping for Rakdos Charm! Always the perfect bittersweet answer to a massive board state like that.
Inkshield is pretty boss though too. Most I've seen is 87 Inklings.

Thank you, Violet!!!
That rat deck hit absolute magical christmasland and it was great to watch. Great game by everyone!
Great game! Fantastic to see Genuine enthusiasm and excitement from the guest players. Violet and Joe vibe well!
1:00:21 I really appreciate someone did the math.
These are always my favorite episodes. Thank you for continuing to build the commander community.
I’m a rat deck player as well, and I got so excited seeing someone else bring it to game knight
Probably the most tense and entertaining episode I've watched so far.
Both of the fans were really entertaining and that Rat deck was fantastic!

For haunted one shouldn’t the rat colony not be able to return to the battlefield cause it had plus 1 counters on it?
Man.. this man Joe Lee has such an amazing vibe..
This episode is my favorite. Joe seems like sweetie and a real mensch. Violet is an absolute powerhouse and I'm so glad to see someone like me on an episode of Game Knights! Violet, thanks for being an awesome inspiration!
I think we can all agree that those were some Rats Of Unusual Size
Congrats Violet! And a phenomenal game over all
Perhaps the biggest ROUS's ever!
Well played
Rat Colonoy is the entire reason that I love cards like Curse of Death's Hold. Rat colony was what someone ran in my first pod. That first game was Rat Colony, Elves, and Goblins. Taught me an important lesson that day.
Amazing vid! Realy feels like Old Command zone! Loved the guests! Would looooove to see Carl and jamin from cardmarket on here!!!❤
Them being the devil and angel on the shoulder of Violet sent me! Omfg I am cackling.
This was great. The fan episodes have become my favorite episodes on the channel.
This was one of the best episodes! Props to Violet’s rat deck, one of the coolest decks I’ve seen.
Joe's deck was quite surprising. I love Comeuppance, one of my favorite cards ever.
Same. If I’m putting a Sunforger in a deck, that deck is also getting a Comeuppance 100% of the time.
That was a fantastic episode. Fun to watch. The fan personalities were a delight and the interaction between the players really helped bring the game to life. Everyone got to do the things their deck enjoyed doing.
Also yeah, that custom coin was spot on and really fun to see!
Another great episode. Thanks for making these.
"I just killed Josh Lee Kwai on Game Knights."
No, Violet. You just ground him into fine powder and we approve.
Wholesome content right here. Had a great time watching. Love to my fellow Shorikai players.
Loved all the decks, but I never aspected the rats to get the win, and her deck was so sick
Just got back into magic after 10 years and I'm building 3 rat decks we need more rat mtg decks on TH-cam!! Great job guys love the video
Violet and Joe were awesome!! As someone who likes to pilot a squirrel deck, the rats were deeply satisfying to watch haha
I made a Marrow-gnawer deck a few years ago, seeing one being ran here with many of the same cards as me was real fun. Saw some new ones i might have to throw in my deck if i ever decide to play it again.
Great episode, Joe had great energy! Violet queen of the rats did great, love to see rats go crazy.
Love Joe Lee’s energy! 😁😁
this is dope! one of the first decks I built when I got back into magic with Arena is very similar to Violet’s! so cool to see it in action.
I absolutely love rat decks and was pulling for Violet the whole time, it was awesome getting to see her sweep the table with a giant field of squeakers. Joe was great too, and he made some cluch plays that really kept it interesting. Both guests had great personalities and brought great decks.
