I could only find green and blue. At least green was labeled as such, but blue was just another FNPF. Blue was 2020-12-11 (assuming that's even the one they meant, since it was so long before the others), and green was 2022-03-18.
12:35 "I brought that over so our drinks stopped casting shadows on the table." Such a professional eye for the finished product. One of the reasons I tune in for the games here. Both the work on camera as well as behind the scenes (thank you, Paul!), as well as the sparkling social interaction among the cast. Thank you for the quality entertainment you guys put out.
Ben's such a great brewer, this deck is sick. The first obvious synergy is Solphim doubling damage from each Approach, but then utilising the discard to get more copies in the graveyard is great. Then using the dragons searched up for your utility, like refilling the hand, getting more noncombat damage, etc. It's inspired.
I learnt about Dong Zhou thanks to the oversimplified video about the three kingdoms. Legend says he was so oily he burned for days when he was killed by his protoge
Ahh, the end of the second game is peak magic. Graham going deep in the tank for a play that stablises the board only for Serge to windmill slam one card for gg 😩
I was literally midway through typing a comment about the possibility that Graham's Jaya alter was done by Marshall when he brought it up. Watching the stream explains the stream.
I mainly remember graham's jaya deck for that time in an older commander stream where he played riddle of lightning on one of ben's things and revealed Aladdin off the top of his deck
Was happy to see Graham playing his Jaya deck, as I have built a very similar Jaya deck. Glad they included links to the decklists because I wanted to compare his list to mine. There are some similarities, but I saw some cool cards in his version that I will consider running in my own now.
Spellshapers are awesome! There are a bunch of ways to use them, I've been running toymaker in orzhov vehicles with Greasefang and its super niche but really fun. Animates vehicles, often with more p/t than their normal values and discards cards to fuel the commander!
The new Tazri, Stalwart Survivor does an okay WUBRG spellshaper commander job, putting cards in your hand and allowing your spellshapers to pay for your spellshaper abilities.
On the topic of Toralf, I run him as a commander and the other day I resolved a Bolt with Furnace of Rath when another player and I both had Toralf in play... we dealt around 480 damage between the two.
@Ajcheeta , yes. This means that when bolt resolves, dealing 6 damage to a 1/1 there are two triggers to deal 5 damage. Each of those targers another creature and becomes 10. Those creatures were also 1/1, meaning we now direct damage that becomes 18. Two triggers each time.
The game one Gamble with Serge losing his Panharmonicon reminds me of the first three times I cast Gamble in my Krenko. Lost the card I tutored for every time.
Amazing games! Ben reall makes me want to build an Approach deck. For something that doesn't matter really: In game 2 Solemn should have died to Graham's Thunderblade Charge they missed that Precursor Golem doesn't care who owns the golemns.
Wheeler: "Good news, they have been reprinted into the ground." (pointing to flameshadow conjuring) Flameshadow Conjuring has in fact never been reprinted. I know this because I was making a deck with only unique cards and it came up.
Props to Ulmer for playing with a proxy Wheel of Fortune. Sometimes it feels so awful to watch streams with outrageous RL cards all across the table even in the most casual of settings that it is truly refreshing to see proxies being embraced
Last week i've just built a mono red deck with Wyll, Blade of Frontiers as my Commander. I've put all card in it that have something to do with dice rolling.
As Justin Parnell famously said: Gamble reads "Search your library for a card, then choose one at random: Discard the card you searched for OR discard another card from your hand at random." 🤣 Sorry, Serge!
I really like Solphis. He just seams neat. I like noncombat damage and indestructible so I will probably build him. But now I have to ponder if I want to build a dragons approach solphis because that seems really cool.
I'm very happy to have seen ben go off at the end :D but didn't wheeler have another 15 or 18, or even more damage (3*untapped lands) of extra damage? By just chaining the kiki jikis They would be tapped, but the etb with the commander would still go off I guess?
Pretty sure it's to cast the Phoenix and use Lightning Cloud to put Wheeler to 7, then attack with everything. Since he has Repercussion, Wheeler using Dong to block means he still takes lethal (as the creature dealing damage to Dong means Repercussion deals that much to Wheeler). Jaya is 2, Phoenix is 2, Adamaro is 3.
Also fun fact: Ripple only exists because Coldsnap was a small set that was drafted by itself, so the designers knew you would see the same commons repeatedly in the draft. Which made it makes sense to create a mechanic which rewarded you for picking up as many copies of a certain common at you could.
Aw yeah baby, so excited for more colour themed streams (really looking foward to colourless) There’s your engagement please let me out of the Loading Ready Run funhouse of lies.
I'm so so so happy to see Graham looking better and better every day.
Me too 💜

I'm new to LLRMTG and so a bit out of the loop. What happened to Graham?

G: "How did I do that?"
P: "Uh, quarter circle forward?"

Also, correction: "P" should be "W"
You know I'm too deep in the LRR lore when I knew that Marshall made that alter when Graham forgot lol
Color me intrigued.
That pun has me seeing red.
Wait...
Much respect to Graham for playing cards more for their obscure weird fun value rather than playing only OP cards.
Serge: Maybe I should’ve left my reach creature behind to block dragon attacks
Ben: _Where we’re going, we won’t need dragon attacks_
I can't believe Wheeler is playing Dong Zhou! I love that card!
I can’t believe anyone else knows that card exists! I’ve never heard of it!
Also why are we yelling?!
@@NStripleseven WE ARE NOT YELLING WE ARE SIMPLY HYPER EXCITED THAT WHEELER FINALLY BROUGHT HIS DONG!

After finishing the monocycle, you should do one for each color combo
Wubrg, the guilds, etc. 4 izzet decks would be interesting.
Colourless is also a thing
On a similar Note. Are there any playable colorless Commander decks ?

Thoroughly enjoying the ancient Friday Nights references for THE BIG FLAMING GIANT

A classic
Jaya Ballard, Task Mage was one of my first cards when I started back during Time Spiral. Loved that set and that card.
I'M APPROACHING!
I'M HOLDING MY BREATH.
Damn I missed the other color streams. I can only find the mono green one on this channel
Commander || Friday Night Paper Fight 2020-12-11
Graham's Thematic Draft Chaff should be the name of every deck he brings on stream. It is also the way I build my decks.
Was happy to see Graham playing his Jaya deck, as I have built a very similar Jaya deck. Glad they included links to the decklists because I wanted to compare his list to mine. There are some similarities, but I saw some cool cards in his version that I will consider running in my own now.
I wish we would get new spellshapers, and supporting cards to boot, alongside some new potential commanders to help with the strategy.

This is me with thrumming stone and rats
Sees Serge piloting Divine Bacon aka Ilharg, go Serge.
Hears "The Rich get Richter" from graham and immediately chuckles in QWRPline
th-cam.com/video/BQqQJgSdTLA/w-d-xo.html - Surge making this little squirrel squeak is killing me. Absolutely dying.
Looks like a ton of fun. I have a mono red Chandra super-friends deck that is an excuse to run pyrohemia, and things with indestructible.
After all the mono colors +brown yall should do WUBRG night
MonoRed - this is very exciting.
Also very surprising to see the video length on a mono red only commander game! Lol I would expect a 40 min game
They just play multiple games
A pox upon the autotapper indeed. It keeps using mt phyrexian tower to make 2 black mana when i only need the one colorless

graham's deck is peak commander. shower of coals and icefall is some real ass magic.
On the topic of Toralf, I run him as a commander and the other day I resolved a Bolt with Furnace of Rath when another player and I both had Toralf in play... we dealt around 480 damage between the two.
..... Toralf's ability is a separate source of damage isn't it?.....
@Ajcheeta , yes. This means that when bolt resolves, dealing 6 damage to a 1/1 there are two triggers to deal 5 damage. Each of those targers another creature and becomes 10. Those creatures were also 1/1, meaning we now direct damage that becomes 18. Two triggers each time.
25:07 I just sneezed and Ben said gesundheit, I almost lost my mind
Thrumming Stone pop off in Commander is one of the wildest things I've seen.
The game one Gamble with Serge losing his Panharmonicon reminds me of the first three times I cast Gamble in my Krenko. Lost the card I tutored for every time.

this stream was an instant classic! something about the mono c commanders makes for amazing videos
If/when y’all do mono-brown commander night, I want to see Serge play the juggernaut from ONE.
Line was Chandra's Phoenix in hand, cast, trigger use Lightning Cloud for 1 to dome, swing out for 7 making 8
Someone went to the VOD for this. Makes me wish there was some twitch chat implementation or log that could be linked to.
The other Sun Titan is from Duel Deck Heroes vs Monsters.
2:04:17 man i got to rewatch all the episodes of friday nights now
"I'm not DONE!"
Last week i've just built a mono red deck with Wyll, Blade of Frontiers as my Commander. I've put all card in it that have something to do with dice rolling.
Benjamin Wheeler losing most of the respect he had by being a Ripple hater.
It's kinda wild to see a pod with four red decks and none of them is goblins.
As Justin Parnell famously said:
Gamble reads
"Search your library for a card, then choose one at random: Discard the card you searched for OR discard another card from your hand at random."
🤣 Sorry, Serge!
I've enjoyed calling it "Red Entomb" in my coinflip deck
I’ve never thought to chaos warp a land
I'll give you thanks non-monetarily too! Thanks guys!
The next in series you say? I'll be back for this after I've caught up.
2:21:26 Is Ben-Ben a fan of RTJ?
I guess we could say that Ben was approaching rapidly
The great thing about mono-red is Serge won't accidentally play Kitchen Finks!
You underestimate his power
30:23 Aw I would be the sweaty but the Bens. They touch. ❤️
It would be cool to re-do the mono blue commander matchup in-person.
One of you's better be playing Birgi storm. So excited for this!
does anyone have a link to the mono blue game they had, i cannot seem to find it?
Mono black sounds fun ? Love the video
Oh, I was hoping Ben would be playing the Solphim deck after seeing the deck tech! ... Oops, nevermind. Commented too soon.
"But it doesn't have flash, though"
*sad Raff Capashen noises*
Can we find decklists somewhere? Ben's would be perfect for my group.
they're in the description
What if goaded "with the sauce" means that the goaded creature also can't block?
Can someone link me mono white and mono blue? I don't know where to find them...
I can only find the Mono Green Commander game they did, are there others?
They say they've done 4 of the mono colors now.
I can't find mono white or mono blue though - can anyone help? o.o
I really like Solphis. He just seams neat. I like noncombat damage and indestructible so I will probably build him.
But now I have to ponder if I want to build a dragons approach solphis because that seems really cool.
Y'all need to play Mono 5 Color XD
What do you guys use to scan the cards
I remember the Mono Green commander game, but where are the other colours? I am confused
I'm very happy to have seen ben go off at the end :D but didn't wheeler have another 15 or 18, or even more damage (3*untapped lands) of extra damage? By just chaining the kiki jikis They would be tapped, but the etb with the commander would still go off I guess?
Engagement for the Engagement God and Bingles for the Dingle Throne!
Wheeler is my commander deckbuilding hero, I'm always trying to champion some old overcosted idiot as my commander but no one does it like wheeler
Kept waiting to see the Hadoken be played
If my memory is correct, Graham got his alter from Marshall Sutcliffe. Kathleen arranged it for a bday gift
Oh good, Graham mentions it too!
I love Serge. Just such a Canadian. 10/10
gamble, 1 red mana look for any card in your library and put it directly into the graveyard basically every time i have ever seen it played
Where can I find the mono white game?
Is Ben cosplaying as Adam or do they own the same shirt? 😅
It's LRR merch so maybe a little of column A and a little of column B. Like it's a shirt of Adam's brainchild.
It’s one of the running gags of Road Quest (Go Watch it!) and LRR Merch because of it
OH SNAP THEY ARENT SOLD OUT

What was Graham's play in G1 to win? I think I might be missing something.
Pretty sure it's to cast the Phoenix and use Lightning Cloud to put Wheeler to 7, then attack with everything. Since he has Repercussion, Wheeler using Dong to block means he still takes lethal (as the creature dealing damage to Dong means Repercussion deals that much to Wheeler). Jaya is 2, Phoenix is 2, Adamaro is 3.
BooYah Graham doing better! Rock Dude, also red is the fun color.
To quote archer "Map mawp"
"Hopefully, Dong will get to hop in the Argussy once." - Benjamin Wheeler 2023
Fun fact, it is 6 cards with ripple, and they all have ripple 4.
Also fun fact: Ripple only exists because Coldsnap was a small set that was drafted by itself, so the designers knew you would see the same commons repeatedly in the draft. Which made it makes sense to create a mechanic which rewarded you for picking up as many copies of a certain common at you could.

Graham. Did you dab?
If Graham's theme is Jaya, is he running the Eighth Edition printing of Sizzle?
Edit: Upon looking at the deck list, he is not. Boo.
Did Ben draw 2 Cards with Bitter Reunion or just 1?
He drew 2
How about a Commander Night but all the decks are Graham's
Aw yeah baby, so excited for more colour themed streams (really looking foward to colourless)
There’s your engagement please let me out of the Loading Ready Run funhouse of lies.
