Mitch I wanted to hear YOUR story about how you got into Magic! How did you become so hooked on this crazy format and when did you get into the game? I'd love to hear your story, maybe thats an (Insert huge number here) Subscriber Special kind of video.
Olivia is super awesome. From the amazing cosplays (her Teysa is just perfect) to her personality that I got to see a bit better during LRR's PPR. Seeing Olivia and Mitch interact gives that feeling when you introduce two of your friends to each other and they get along well.
Same here! And even if I find players it's a travesty. Everyone around me plays the painter's servant/millstone combo, or jokulaps, or turn 5 ulamog, or some other toxic crap.
@@riccardocalosso5688 I like to play Reroute or Gilded Light against effects against mill combos like that one. Instant speed disruption of their combo really puts those players off balance. I'm guilty of playing Jokulhaups (its in my Nekusar deck), but Second Sunrise and Planar Guide are both good tech against that. Big bads coming down early is a big pain though. I personally feel that the Eldrazi was a big mistake by wotc
I mean this with respect and as an encouraging statement. You wanted feedback for doing interviews I would recommend taking some time to watch yourself a few times from last few done there is always a sense of urgency. Lol it's great when your pushing a dech tech ect but I would slow down some will make a more enjoyable interaction. Your rocking it always looking forward to your channel thank you.
I subscribed after watching the Lazav, the Multifarious deck tech. I did some upgrades of my own and it became my favorite deck. I'm glad to see this channel doing so much with the community. Thanks.
Hey Mitch! Gotta say, I am always blown away by how much you care and am extremely excited for the direction you're taking this channel. Quick question though, what happened to the pink Commander's Quarters playmats that you used to sell? I can't seem to find them on your site, and I was hoping to get one of them for a Christmas gift.
Noticed Mitch getting a bit flustered and stuck on trying to get the right words out at times. Feels like something you would just get better at over time though. Keeping the structured conversation a bit more casual might help, but I understand that you want the highest production quality possible out of your videos. Keep up the good work! :D
Olivia is such a positive person, I can't recon many people just...smiling that much while not being anoying or disturbing. Everyone could benefit when there's person like that around.
You got very close to dissing on the QUEEN of Orzhov commanders; Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts. Good thing you kept your tongue or the Syndicate would have your head... Seriously though she was my first real commander deck and I still run her in the 99 occasionally. Not a bad card except for the casting cost.
Wow, this interview has everything! We get behind the scenes looks at cosplay, Game Knights, the commander rules advisory commitee, AND a commander decktech?
12:24 Kyle Hill from Because Science detected. as i think about it, i would love to see my dream competition when it comes to EDH. Kyle Hill v. Mitch v. Gober v. Nissa Cosplay or Justin Parnell
I generally enjoyed the episode, but Mitch... give your guest a little more time to talk without interruption, and don't just make your response "That's great", "That's awesome" or"Fantastic". It gets repetitive really quickly.
Hey dude, fantastic content as always! Since you were asking for feedback, I was thinking maybe you don't need to stare down your camera the whole time. Focusing on constant eye contact (or in this case camera-eye contact) makes it harder to relax and come up with natural responses ie. let conversation flow normally. Like, some people have the luck to be masterful at simultaneous conversation and eye contact but, for most people, you need the chance to look away and reset. I know for myself that I cannot maintain eye contact for that long without getting uncomfortable... So yeah, whilst your guest is replying - and you can see Olivia is quite natural, looking all around whilst responding, talking comfortably etc - you can feel free to relax and listen, look down at your desk at times but smile and nod along, that sorta thing. Also, as the viewer, we spend our whole time with our eyes on the video so it might be slightly unnerving to have you stare down the camera the whole time. So yeah, feel free to just look around a bit, engage as you normally would, maybe even put the mic to the side a bit so you can relax rather than feel like you're actually conducting an interview. It might even just be a bit of camera shyness for now, anyway? But trust me when I say, you're doing an awesome job at this and you're clearly a super, super good dude, so keep it coming man :)
Commander is my favorite format. It is the only format I currently play. I don't really like the 60 (75) card formats, because they are 1v1. I prefer multiplayer. Also, formats like Modern are as expensive as commander to play and I think that's a bit insane. Pioneer isn't quite up there, since the fetch lands are banned, but I'm sure there are very expensive pioneer decks and lets not talk about standard at all, I don't like rotating formats at all. one 60 card format I would get into, if my play group wanted to, is pauper, mostly because it's cheap. you can get a really powerful elf tribal deck for about 75-80 $, burn is also very legit there. since we are talking bans and unbans #freecoalitionvictory it isn't unreasonable anymore. looking at the torbran deck list, I think there is something missing, where is insurrection? that is the big red finisher. also: Vandal blast is better than "shattering spree" if there are lots of artifacts out, you could have both however. otherwise a really cool deck. but those are the changes I'd make personally. I would take out a couple of burn spels that can only hit creatures, like dual shot.
Two-headed Giant is really great for teaching people the game. Also it is very nice to play even if you are a veteran player, probably my favorite way of playing magic. Pairing that with commander tho... Games have to take 4 hours lol
I love hearing about a red deck winning games because mono red gets no love where I'm at until they realize that it's dealing 92 damage to everyone. I usually go to a shop full of control players and it's annoying.
Love all the new content you've started doing, my only critique is on how you handle your interviews, you come across fairly unnatural and awkward. I understand that it mainly comes from inexperience though as you haven't done this long and I'm sure you'll improve over time. My only recommendation is, prepare for an interview but have a conversation.
Please please please I know you probably wouldn’t do this but I need your help .I am trying to make a Grixus deck out of nekusar the mind Razer. i got about 100 dollars if u could plz make a budget commander out this it be the best Christmas gift ever.
Great video! Just be careful with your jokes, though. They're all great for personal contact, but some (like for example the "spam twitter" one) aren't as great on the internet. Some people might actually do it. Which would be sad, because it souers the joke. PS: can anyone help me for the correct spelling of "souers". My native language is Dutch, so...

I second this
Agreed x 1000
This is cool. I like the idea of more interviews while also doing deck techs

Always enjoy any video With Olivia she is awesome
Eight player two-headed giant?! I have a hard enough time finding two other people for a three player match!

Those are actually out of stock right now. I might be able to get another shipment in after the Kickstarter
Ohhh, I'll keep my eye out then! The kickstarter playmat is another one I think I'm going to grab, the art is awesome!
“That’s fantastic”

I bet if anyone were to speak to olivia, they would stutter too lmao
Mitch, how tall are you? Asking for a friend and, by "friend," I mean "giraffe."
6'4''
@@TheCommandersQuarters that's a short giraffe!
The Commander's Quarters do you play the basketball?

"High Elevation Magic" haha respect to a fellow 6'4" MTG player.

Olivia: Breathes
Mitch: "That's fantastic."
Pyrohemia is so good in tobrand. 9 damage to everybody and each creature your opponents have for just 3 mana every turn.
Manabarbs.
I've also made a mono red deck with Torbran. Super fun, but a bit slow to get going.... Amazing when you get leyline in your opening hand.
Also early braid of fire is a game changer
@@goberthicks Need to get one of those for next time in my next refinement.
You got very close to dissing on the QUEEN of Orzhov commanders; Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts. Good thing you kept your tongue or the Syndicate would have your head...

Absolutely PHANTASTIC episode!

I don't have twitter but I think Olivia should cosplay Elspeth. She looks the part.
Loving the content. When will we see u play games on the channel??👀
It's in the works!
@@TheCommandersQuarters I'm super excited about that!
12:24 Kyle Hill from Because Science detected.

With that Alela combo go for Intruder Alarm if the budget allows.

What about Queen Marchesa?
Harsh mentor could also be a mean include in the deck
I actually think I did put it in! If I didn't actually, it was one of the final cuts
Ah gotcha, I probably missed it looking over the list
Mitch just seems like a really nice and genuine person, doesn't he? Like he doesn't seem "fake" or "putting on a show"
I like the use of "porcine"; it's it's elegant, yet formal, like this channel.
And when I say formal, I mean there's porcine imagery everywhere.
nice crossover episode. I want to build Torbran as my next deck.
I started playing in 2014 also and playing Commander as well, today it's the only thing I play in paper besides pre-release.
That's fantastic
Can you make a budget friendly torbrand list?
Cutting gauntlet of might in paper shaves off about $500 😅 - I had no idea it existed until I saw in on mtgo

Oh wow 23 seconds since upload. Don't think I've ever been this early to a video. Hallo guys!
I cosplay as the guy on the card “Pariah” everyday hahaha! Damn Olivia is STRONG, 6/6 strong!
Two-headed Giant is really great for teaching people the game.
Also it is very nice to play even if you are a veteran player, probably my favorite way of playing magic.

saskia, please. olivia in aggro style would be sweet xD
"We will be right back!"
*ad plays*
I love torbran
I would love to see Mitch on command zone I mean the jank Lord episode was amazing or just see some commander quarters game nights or something
I'm starting to listen and I hope she talks about her Yennett deck
Olivia is so likeable it's killing me haha
Cosplay as Garruk!
I love hearing about a red deck winning games because mono red gets no love where I'm at until they realize that it's dealing 92 damage to everyone. I usually go to a shop full of control players and it's annoying.
Trey Curet Finally yes someone who gets it!!!! All I wanna do is deal loads of damage but nope let me see Yawgs will into doomsday again
Why can’t I be a commander advisor as well?
The mic covers much of your face Mitch! Move it back so we can see more of it!
Torbran cosplay in 2020 would be cool
Hi, can Olivia cosplay as Fblthp? Thanks
Next up, an interview with Kyle Hill and/or Spice8Rack
Remember to spam lifts and ask for the deadbans after hours.
Jeska for commander legends
Mitch sounds more and more hyper every episode
KWEEN
Olivia is my crush ❤
Alela or Olívia voldaren ( no pun intended)

Should not have mentioned the Etrata deck in the intro lol. I felt her disappointment in that video so hard.
I always thought torbran/pyrohemia/repercussion was completely disgusting
"please spam Olivia on twitter for bans/unbans."
Me: :D
Mono Red Prison anyone?
Holy early

I see Mitch’s mouth as much as I see my father after he left to get cigarettes
"Welcome to Commander's Quarters where today I'll be torturing this poor woman"
I'll straight up wife Olivia and play commander 24/7 with her just to see her beautiful smile
Olivia has some great teeth.
she did terrible in game knights
Unsubbed. You used to be the commandzone alternative.
what?
This channel had so much potential. But have to unsub seing videos like this.
Why?
