Pretty sure this is the first command zone gameplay video I’ve seen where Lady wasn’t playing a deck that contained either green or black
Yeah. Although, there’s probably some reason for that isn’t there.
Also the only one won with a thoracle trigger?
It’s also the first episode where here hair and makeup are actually done well
@@MathMan410 nah I’d 100% disagree. Ladee always looks nice to me
@ShadowMiner2358 I disagree with you Normally she looks nuts
Me before watching the video: "Oh cool mono colored decks sweet!"
Me seeing the thumbnail with esika: "Well now hold on here something seem fishy here"
Just a thing of note.
At 24:25 Ashlen gets rid of her Sylvan Library by shuffling it into her deck before the boardwipe. Then, later in that same round at 26:33 , Lady makes everyone mill 2 cards with Overwhelmed Apprentice, and the first card Ashlen mills is the Sylvan Library.
She tried to get rid of it by shuffling it in her deck, and ended up having it on top of it. It would´ve been her next draw.
I think she was tryna get rid of the card(s) that were already on top, and Library was the card she was most willing to lose in exchange.
As someone who almost exclusively plays mono-white, I’m excited for this!
Rip 💀
love mono white
I’ll say it: going in to 2023, white stands alone better than any other mono color. Removes anything, has the second best ramp, and has plenty of solid or better draw.
@@EnemyToad second best ramp is colorless, which everybody has access to. I feel like green will always be the goat of mono colored, it literally does better than a lot of color pairs alone
Guardian of the guildpact would have been nice.
So the green-haired person plays blue and the blue-haired person plays green makes sense 😂
Cuz simic
They are Simic sisters!
I don't like being negative, but watching Gaurav go off on turn 1, establish an entire engine turn 2, and gain a near-insurmountable lead turn 3, then REPEATEDLY smack down the least-threatening person at the table, had me going "How could this match be any less appealing?"
Then I saw the ending, and thought, "Oh, that's how."
Yeah this ended up being pretty bad. Leave Thassa's Oracle in CEDH and out of these fun casual edh games that we watch.
So the person that he kept attacking was Ladee right
I kept wondering why he kept attacking ladee. Then she Thassa oracled the table.
He did his best to smack down the most threatening deck.
@@logankalita1232 Right, he stole and sac'd her Primal Amulet and then took out her land with a Wasteland when she had been struggling to make a single play all game.
...Or wait, I might be misremembering that.
That turn one 💀
Yeah holy cow, my man Guarav put a target on his back in the first 10 seconds!
@Cian Lacy get targeted any% speedrun
Lol yea really ruined the entire game by failing rule zero there.
@@rantalmore big doodie diaper baby comment
@@Dekadin2 😂😂😂
Thank you to Ladee for trying to give Jordan a chance to play... Gaurav went way too hard too fast and basically stopped Jordan from playing at all. It was rough to watch.
This was my thoughts for sure
Rachel weeks coming to command zone is the best thing to ever happen to me! Her deck ideas are amazing, she’s absolutely hilarious, and hands down my favorite MTG personality!!!
Rachel is my Favorite too I love watching her
+1 More Rachel love! I must say I love seeing her pop up in different channels.
I am desperate to see her and Kyle Hill in the same pod. Hands down the two funniest people I know in MtG streaming
@Bart Crisp i think tolarian academy has a video with them both
Facts
Without even watching the video, and knowing how much more powerful is Azami compared to the rest of the choices, I predict an easy and expected win for Azami with Mind Over Matter + Thassa's Oracle.
EDIT: I was close enough.
Close!
You're close.
Are you a wizard?
@@TCG9777 you saying that people lie online just for fun? I think it’s very unlikely
@@TCG9777 Who hurt you? EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Poor Jordan, he never even had a chance to get into the game 🤣
Yet, did more than Ashlen somehow.
to be fair, they weren't wrong in knocking me down whenever I started going. Toshiro can be explosive if he gets any momentum up!
@@JordanPridgen 100% I would of done the same. I just felt bad but they both played it correctly.
@@JordanPridgen That's too bad, I really wanted to see Toshiro in action.
Just play Yawgmoth combo instead, it’s my favorite deck and absurdly powerful
That sure is a mono "red" deck.
Did anyone else hear Ashlen swear at 18:04 when the Vandal Blast was overloaded? Because, I can't unhear it.
Yea it was so hot 🥵
@@VariantNYC bro u good?
Gawrsh
She said “that’s really gonna affect me” 😂
Hey look a Thassa's Oracle win who would've guessed that was coming lol!
It's the first time It's happened on this channel to my knowledge.
@@delathenleso5793 I'm not familiar with any other of blue's finishers though. What's the alternative?
@@Wauly the 7 or 8 CMC spell which gives you permenates or extra turns (dont remember what its called), blue has a few of these deck out cards, one of the jaces, oracle and lab maniac. could also have won this game by having literally any creature with "tap deal 1 damage" as that's infinite targeted damage. scepter + reversal is just insanely powerful and at least in my friend group it's banned, honestly oracle wasnt the issue this game (although it definately is an extremely powerful card) it was purely the easy infinite mana + super powerful commander in command zone compared to the other decks commanders
@@delathenleso5793 house rule we've had at my pod: if someone wins the game and there's still 2+ opponents at the table, they keep playing for second.
Cards that simply say "I win" tend to be very anticlimactic
@@lucas3463 I understand the intention behind this house rule, but it does also works as an incentive to ignore the combo player...
The least DRAMATIC way to win a game 🤣
Of course it’s dramatic. In the way that people complain about the combo, they make it as dramatic as possible.
Yep, ppl finish a game saying “good game” but it’s really, usually “I’m going to kick and scream then cry you all a river if I don’t win”… Wish ppl wouldn’t play if they can’t be good sports about who wins and how…
Plus it’s JUST A GAME, you’re *only* losing a game, not your life, possessions or freedom over it… Geez..
@@williambrown5934 Who hurt you bruh
It is in fact the most boring way to win a game
18:05 am i the only one that can hear Ashlyn go “yep that’s gonna really ‘f’ me” or am i insane 😂
Could have said "effect me" but sounds like it lol.
You are 100% correct. She totally does! Nice catch haha
I now see it
I think she says "royally" whichdrives home that she did - in fact - slip that in there. Lol really good catch!
I'm think she is saying "that's really gonna affect me" but i do hear what you said alittle.
This didn't feel like a normal episode, it felt likes Rules 0 / decks weren't discussed before hand and there was a very big difference of what everyone was and or wanted to play.
Oh yeah. It's a very weird episode.
Played out a lot more like most pick up games of EDH though. The format is inherently broken. The only semblance of balance comes from players' choice to intentionally handicap themselves in a regular playgroup.
pretty sure extra turn episodes regardless of the theme they do is just their own decks, so if you build a green deck that is "big dinos only" you can still include gaea's cradle or manavault if you own the cards
at least thats what i've seen from them, extra turns just seems like their decks with whatever power they put into em
rule 0 never works unless you ask how a deck wins and what combos there are
Cool game but didn’t feel like Ashlen or Jordan really stood a chance all along they should do a regame where ashlen and Jordan bring slightly more powerful decks or the other two bring slightly weaker decks
jordan let it happen, he had removal
Nah, Ashlen just got really mana screwed and couldn't get off the ground. I think if that wasn't the case, she would've done much better.
@@Smutter86 tbf ashlen's deck also would have been way stronger if she had Reki, History of Kamigawa in the command zone instead of her 99. I get that she wanted to accept a challenge to try to win w/ esika, but Reki lets you bury your opponents similarly to how azami does.
Jordan casts exsanguinate for 33 and says he might have finally stabilized only for ladee to go infinite and win the next turn is hilarious to me
I didn't even think about that until now, also she "gave him a chance " with her win con in hand lol
OH MAN! I love Toshiro! So happy to see someone else play it!
Would have been nice to see it in action…
Well….
"play" it
toshi player here. thought he blew the game by not removing azami imo
Ashlen hard trolling these past couple games. Doesn't shuffle something from a crazy Artifact board????
Ladee Danger always plays Commander with such a fun and excited energy, it makes it really entertaining 😊
Ladee played Overwhelmed Apprentice. She previewed this card!
Man two of the commanders were very weak and close to unplayable, the other two just had a power struggle the entire game until somebody won
Toshiro is actually quite solid Jordan just got unlucky and never got off the ground
@@abrahamwest2005the wasteland on the cabal coffers really hurt him
@@abrahamwest2005 would love a rerun in that case! He looks sick
@@nosniboR_naI Yeah but he could see the Wasteland on the board before he played the Cabal Coffers. Just wait a moment and see if Wasteland might be used on something else. He played his Cabal Coffers knowing it would be removed (he actually said this in the episode)... Why play it if you know it's going to be removed?
Just starting to watch the video, but I already have to say: Like the idea of using Esika as monogreen commander :)
Great game, disappointing ending IMO. Seemed like the table felt that way too lol
are all these "nice" "cool" "heeey" reactions already written into your scripts or do you prerecord them and cut them in in editing?
Nothing hapened in this game besides daretti until the blue deck comboed with thassa's oracle. Not a really fun one
Yeah… would have really liked to see mono black spellslinger. Daretti was cool to see combo, but very underwhelmed by the ending. I was wondering why they didn’t show any of her win cons on her deck breakdown…
@@BlueGriffin20 i don't, it was a win out of nowhere with a two card combo, that's never fun.
That's an interesting deck build restriction Ladee had on the Azami deck!🤔
I think this is the first time I see people play combo on command zone. I thought it’s not allowed, lol. Good job ladee!
casius does it alot. i think melissa de torra comboed in her game at the very beginning. Josh comboed on prof and wedge with edge walker. It happens alot. Its just this one was just anti climactic since none of the other colors have much ways to interact. She recovered from alot of hate but it shows that mono blue and azami in particular is just a wee bit too powerful even if you put the constraint of "only females" on it.
It's permissible on Extra Turns but not really on Game Knights.
@@TheGrifcannon22 is swear Cassius marsh comboed out on the time spiral remastered episode
@@TheGrifcannon22 on further inspection he cast omniscience and made inf mana with palincron to use tasigur as many times as he wanted to mill to cast alt win con jace to win.
Excited for a mono color showdown! and to see Rachel Weeks in her new role!
Wow, a deck with blue winning with Thassa's oracle, I've never seen that 😮😮😮... No hate to Ladee of course, only to the card.
Oracle wasn't the problem this game. A 100 other cards would have won the game there leading to essentially the same game. The combo is the thing you should be frustrated with
Thoracle is really getting tiresome. I've all but stopped watching cEDH games with blue in them as 9/10 games end with a Thoracle win. It's fun the first couple of times, but seeing it dozens of times over is getting ridiculous.
@@Smutter86 completely agree, almost every combo in any deck with blue ends in draw the deck to play the oracle
i thought ashlen left command zone. did she come back or are these older recordings?
She no longer a full-time staff member of the Command Zone, but she's still a Friend of the Channel and will occasionally appear in content.
Bringing Scrap Servant to a mono colored table is basically putting Tball players against hall of famer MLB players
I think Ladee’s connive dance is the highlight of the game
Man Jordan did SO much this game
Yeah I was worried I was hogging all the attention with all the cards and big plays I did!
Toshiro is my homie, what a bummer you couldn’t fire it off !
But let’s be honest here : it was a rough one for you, lot of hate
Kibda feels like Gaurav went completely overboard with the powerlevel here
Fun game! Glad to see a game between mono colored decks. I really enjoy the various mono colored decks I'm running and it's always nice to see new takes on others as well!
Ow that's funny. I just built a Guurl Power Halana & Alena, Partners deck yesterday with only ladies :D
Ugh, an otherwise great and exciting game tainted with a Thoracle win.
Happy to see some of the cast of The Broken Pact reuniting. I miss that show. Tutturu!
I love Daretti, super fun Red commander that works like a Black reanimation commander but instead of reanimating creatures Daretti brings back artifacts :P
After all the "Connive" dances, I feel like the Esper are the expert Lawyers who get laughed at on the dance floor.
This has permanently changed my view of the guild.
Love me some mono-colored mtg.
Mono Black for the next win? Post, Son of Rich at the helm with Posty playing it would be pretty epic.
And that's why infinite combos (especially something so easy as Isochron-Reversal) are such groaners. Long fought game that then just feels invalidated when a player wins out of nowhere.
The more I see of Rachel, the more I fall in love with her...she's hilarious, has a fantastic flair for style and makes sweet plays...a great addition to the team!!!
Bro what exactly did she say this episode to make you laugh… what a simp 😂
@oscarsracso nothing, like you said I'm just a simp....
Lady: in my deck every card has a lady in the artwork.
Also Lady: Imma cast ledger shredder
*has a lady in the artwork or a female artist
I have seen the majority of these episodes and this is literally the only one I've guessed right. I saw the commanders showcase and guessed who won right off. I feel like I learned something 🤣 woo! Win one out of hundreds of losses for me.
Whenever I say something along this line, my mom answers: "A broken clock still tells the right time twice a day."
I’m sad we couldn’t see more of that green deck.
Did Jordan put any cards in the deck? Or is he playing a deck of sleeves with some lands
Toshiro! My favorite MTG character of all time!!
Go infinite and cast thoracle, such skill
Commander is a FFA, not Solitaire, so you must run interaction to win
@@shogert2370 you can have interaction in the deck but you have have it the turn everything needed hits the board against the main interaction color. This was just a case of standard blue draw wincon.
20:46
Does Ashlyn say “that’s going to really fuck me?”
Or “that’s going to really affect me”
I heard something to the effect of “that’s going to overload f*** me” lol
The chemistry between these 4 players was great. Do more videos of them together. Ladee and Jordan's banter was great.
Oh gee I wonder why white wasn’t included it’s such a fun color to play against
Wow, amazing. Ancient Tomb, Mana Vault, and Thassa's Oracle are good magic cards? Who could have guessed. Next time y'all should play underrated gems like Korvold, Deflecting Swat, and Urza lord high artificer. I know they seem bad but with Gaurav's skill, they could be good.
So... Ladee with the green hair plays the mono-blue deck, while Ashlen with the blue hair is playing mono-green?
I was rooting for lady all the way until I saw Thassa. DX
I used to the broken pact when it was on. I knew gaurav, Ashlen, and Jordan all ended working at the command zone over the course of that show. It’s fun seeing astorok, tutturu, and Lucian back in action. Even if it is playing a different game
Thassa combo.... fun and interactive, GG!
He should have saved the vandalblast. He knew the isochron scepter was coming at some point but he decided to blow his answer when he didn’t need to.
Although I adore to see Ladee on the show. I think she and Guarav ruined the game for many viewers. I knew either Daretti or Azami was gonna go off at some point.
If the powerlevel of the decks where better matched, this could be fun video.
Tutors galore and Thassa's oracle... Definitely showing the issues of modern commander
She had infinite mana and was able to draw her deck. Thoracle literally didn’t matter - it could have been any win at that point. Having issue with thoracle consult in casual sure maybe but this wasn’t really Thoracle being problematic
Eh. Depends on the deck. She could draw out, but she also needed to finish that turn otherwise. Mono Blue doesn’t usually have burn or haste. So if she played most of her creatures/bounces all the creatures/or such she’d be still waiting to swing/prone to a wipe. She’d need to take extra turns, mill, or something to end it. They didn’t show her other win cons in the deck preview though.
What are the issues?
Ladee playing mono-blue? What?!
For those who hate Thassa's Oracle, just add angel grace in your deck , thank me later
Or add Cephalid Coliseum.
That card has saved my ass more times than i can count. I really wish we would get 1 new set if Split Second cards at some point.
No one talks about how much effort and creativity goes into yall’s sponsored ad breaks and I just wanna give a shout-out to whoever comes up with them. The voice overs, card choices, and jokes are all top notch! I love them.
Ladee's energy is the best! Absolutely love her attitude and play style. She deserves this win after how dirty they played her on the last Game Nights episode lol
All the winnin' Ladee, all the winnin' Ladee!
Tho-oh oh oh-oh oh-racle.
Thassa Oracle ruin the game like always 😂
Not really a thassa win, many cards would have won the game there. It's more the combo that you should be frustrated with.
Feels like ladde and Ashlee’s should of switched colours based on there hair ❤
I love everyone from the command zone podcast and special guests. But Ladee is definitely my favorite, I would love to be friends with her.
And my mono-white-loving self just looks on in sadness...
Still, I'm really digging Ashlen's deck idea...
For a channel that doesn’t know a whole lot about competitive half of the cards played this game were cedh staples
The artifact deck seemed to be at a much higher power level compared to the others.
Nice! Old school Isocron/dramatic reversal into thoracle. Was happy to see it beat Derreti
Can we get an episode where there's no Infinite Combos, no Taigas or other insanely priced cards that almost no players can/want to afford? It's disappointing not seeing two of the four decks get to do anything because "oh Thassa's Oracle, I win"
Oracle wasn't the problem this game. A 100 other cards would have won the game there leading to essentially the same game. The combo is the thing you should be frustrated with
First - use proxies, especially now, when Wizards dare to sell you 60 of them for 1k$
Second - the fact that you don't use/like some cards means nothing and noone should ever limit themselves based on than, but only on official ban-list
The conniving was amazing lol.
So excited for Rachel to be here. There will finally be some creativity on this channel!
Oh goody ANOTHER Thoracle win... can this card get banned already?
As someone who winces if I so much as drop a card on the floor* that bit at the end nearly gave me a coronary.
*then proceed to spend the next 5 minutes making sure I didn't drop more cards, which of course will have slid under a couch or dangerously close to the nearest rolly chair.
I learned that lesson too: if someone is a menace, cyclonic rift before they untap
I think that if the kono black player kept his removal for azami or the red player turned azami into an artifact and killed it with a vandal blast this could have been quite the game. Exsanguinate was too early even at 10 imo
Weird to see Ladee play blue lol this was a quick win too
Jeez, Ladee’s a bigger fan of the connive mechanic than I thought haha
This episode sucked. Doing an infinite combo in a group of players you know people are using mono-colored decks... Of course they don't have a way to interact. What is black going to do at instant speed to answer an artifact? Red has what, two cards (Chaos Warp and Wild Magic Surge) that could have dealt with this and that's it (and mono red can't draw cards as fast as blue in order to get those cards)?
Red has a lot of cards that could have stopped this. It has tons of artifact destruction. I feel this channel just plays very little interaction.
While I think thassas oracle is super lame, to be fair daretti would have most likely been a combo win also
I’m a simple guy: I see mono red, I watch.
I love the episode where Ladee is all laughing and goofy is one she wins haha
Merry Christmas everyone at the Command Zone I've been watching you guys since day one please keep up the awesome content you guys/gals are Awesome 😎👍
Why do you guys use the TF2 Victory voice line?
Will you be making a video on the new Starter Commander decks?
Hi sorry to bother, but the decklist for gaurav/daretti is wrong.
(no ancient tomb nor manavault)
We all know that Jimmy would have loved to be the red player here.
Powerful monocolored decks, figures nobody was brave enough to play white.
I have to say Lady was very anoying this game, i started skipping the Ledger Shredder triggers because it felt to me the bad kind of fake thats put on for the camera. Apart from that it also ended to soon in my opinion, the two decks that I was most intrested in really didnt to anything which is sad but its how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
i made a joke 5 color decks using Esika that i called "the endgame". Its a full on legendary ramp deck that wants to find maskwood nexus and the world tree. Use the world tree second effect to put all gods from your deck into the game, and because of maskwood nexus, all creatures are gods. Cue avengers endgame soundtrack and win.
Its pretty terrible but really funny when works.
I did the exact same thing when Esika was first released!
Ladee with the lady deck just crushing it!
She discarded an Omnath?! That would fix her mana problem if she isn't drawing lands. Slow yes, but still could build up into something.
A win like that always feels so empty haha.
A win is a win 👍
I'm guessing you don't play blue much
Loved Ladees deck, that was some fine blue mana action right there
Every video sponsored by Raycon: "Raycons are great"
Every user comment about Raycons I read: "Raycons suck, there's better ones at that price range"
I understand the need for sponsors and I'm glad the channel gets some remuneration, but to this day there's not a single youtube promo product where I've gone "I'll get one of those". At least they're not being sponsored by the shady scottish land dealers xD
Same with card kingdom. They never have 100% of the cards I need for a deck, and their prices are often above what TCG player has and by not small amounts sometimes.
I bought some raycons, and I love them - I am not a bot, or a shill, or anything else, just a dude with raycons
@@slifer867 the only thing i’ll give CK is their shipping is better than some sites.
