"This is pure chance, and I deny, I defy it; it is not real: Roll the dice."
"I'm not in combat yet?"
"ROLL IT!"
Iconic Prof quote
his tantrum was beautifully hilarious
Exploding balls of gas thousands of light years away do not influence my personality or the events that unfold in my life. Chanting to non-existent beings does not affect the outcome of a random roll of dice. Black cats do not cause bad luck, and there is no Santa Claus.
I am a blast at parties.
I think you'd fit right in at my annual "nothing matters-existence is meaningless" party.

Not It.
Prof: "Lords of Chaos, don't mess with me. It's not a threat, it's a promise."
Lords of Chaos: You're talking mad shit for someone within chaos distance.
Wedge: *Rolls a 2*
Prof is great in this episode
I fucking love this comment XD
@@tommygrozier4789 He's also great in their Extra turns video. It's amazing
The irony is that the winner was the only one never attacked by chaos...
I know you replied this a while ago. I just found the channel. This made me laugh. A lot. Well done sir.
These matches tend to devolve into "Everyone we have to band together against Josh to stop his crazy bullshit."
I'm basically the female "J.L.K" in my group too. People tend to get wary of my Bolas deck after the first time they see me cast Insurrection, kill a player, sac the remaining creatures to Mind Slash with a Waste Not out to strip their hands and fill their graveyards more and then use the mana generated off Waste Not to help cast a Rise of the Dark Realms to keep their creatures permanently, with counter mana backup. XD
@@RoxyGotMoxy. when I first read that I thought bolas was boros and I thought "since when has anyone ever been scared of a boros deck?? 😂"
@@senoreverything6366 I mean....Game Knights #25, when JLK ripped out a Smothering Tithe/Wheel of Fortune combo and exploded from there.
@@mystikx2205 but are those combos ever in a JUST boros deck? Both of those cards are one pip each, you could put those in a 3-5 color deck
Señor Everything I have a pretty nasty Boros deck that I completed a month ago that my friends are still trying to figure out how to beat
*"Thank you, Mr. The Source"*
Why do you have no reply’s? Weird. Hi btw.
Rhystic Studies is an awesome channel! I love your videos essays!
I’ll pay the one
Mr studies
"would you like to pay 1 for Rhistyc Studies ?"
"I phase back in to a wasteland..."
"Okay, on your upkeep..."
"What..?"
"...I'm gonna sacrifice 24 zombies..."
"Oh, that's..."
"...to create 24 black mana"
"Wait, no..."
"...and 24 Blood Artist triggers, and drain you for 24."
Hey, i get the second place
I was wondering what Wedge was expecting when the alter can just be activated at instant speed.
I laughed SO hard when i saw this post. Very, very late, but thank you for writing this, it really made my day
@@ivaneckhardt7010 Same lol
@@ivaneckhardt7010 You think YOURE late?
I love wedges reaction to ob nixilis when Josh said he was a 51/51

I don't know why but I always find myself returning to this episode. It's so familial and normal. Almost feels like I'm watching a bunch of lifelong friends hashing it out in a weekend commander game.
It's the excessive at-gun-point overacting in the newer episodes. The card animations are incredible, but the constant forced overacting almost makes me want to ask them to blink twice if they're in danger.
I’ve probably seen this episode 5-6 times
@@Maverick2736 this episode was the first on I watched and what really drove me to get back into magic. This episode and the bear episode.
@@Maverick2736 Agreed, the newer episodes seem so uptight, but the older ones have such a relaxed and joking nature that it feels more welcoming
Personally I think it’s the jimmy not drawing lands
Plot twist: next Game Knights, Jimmy plays a deck of all lands. 😂
Cimoooooooo A traveler from a distant land appears. Literally both really weird and really cool to see you in the comment section of an mtg video.
Holy shit how did you end up here dood?
Cimoooooooo oh hey you play magic too! Cool
Jordan L he might be getting into it because he was unfamiliar when he made his video about MtG cards
Cimoooooooo this isn't yugioh 😂
Thanks Josh. Now Shadowborn Apostle is $10.00 :P
He owns them all.
isnt he limited to only 1 in commander builds?
Shadowborn Aposltes have a special ability saying that you can have as many as you want in your deck.
It says on the card, you can have as many as he wants. @@richardredmon9016
@@richardredmon9016 boi
46:58 Wedge unequips sunforger and goes to search for chaos warp. This would of trigger Obnixilis, Unshackled losing him 10 life and sacrificing a creature due to searching.
They forgot
@@Denny1026 they still missed the trigger
I noticed that too, it didn't change the outcome of the game though so it's not a huge deal
Ob Nixilis, Unshackled is my commander in my mono-black demon commander deck. He is soooo good!
Also Josh played the edgewalker after it was exiled lol.
EVERY single time I see The Professor I smile
he's so infectious
Prof is totally one of the best MTG Personalities
Pretty sure Craig Blanchette is the infectious one :)

Gotta love how Prof’s devotion to his favorite deck was his own downfall since he had to pay double for all of his own effects due to Kira but she didn’t affect literally anything else. That’s sticking to your guns. Kudos Prof.
T!TO yeah pet cards are part of what makes EDH decks unique and special. And Kira is or at least used to be in the legacy version of Fish. Probably the modern version too. He loves the deck and I can’t blame him for sticking to it.
Fen Bogarty it’s objectively bad here. Sygg protects from targeting and he targets a ton as is. He just taxed himself for no reason.
Agree on all points. Our man Prof is a maverick though and doesn’t need anyone else to tell him how to build his decks. He can build them however he wants, even sub-optimally. There’s nothing I hate more than people telling me how to build my decks.
Well he needs a handicap or else he would win too quickly. That's our Professor, always making sure the others have fun too.
Fen Bogarty The problem was it simply wasn't worth casting with what the other decks had. He should have just discarded it. It does has a function in the deck, but it's mostly against decks that rely heavily on targeted removal. Things like Mardu get hosed. With the protection ability you can wait until they are low on white or other things (blow up their lands etc). It for sure has a big down side since Prof is relying on those effects but I wouldn't say it is "useless". A "useless" card would be healing salve 😂
I think that dice that wedge used probably doesn’t have a 5 or a 6
40:29 "He saved me. He saved all of us."
Chills.
Like Catra?
“Not it!” “Not it!” “Not real.”
That whole part made me laugh so hard! Man I love the Professor! I love his sense of humor!
Edit: Crud! I just noticed that I used the wrong spelling for whole! Haha! Oops!
Favorite part of the video
Same.
Calum P. lol that part brought me back to my childhood
speaking of it, I always thought that 6-sided dices are too angly to provide the required level of randomness....which was kinda proved in the game? Although that can be managed a bit by at least binding the outcomes to opposite sides of the dice instead of just consecutive numbers
Apologies. Things got a little complicated at the end and we may have missed a few triggers. Thankfully it didn't affect the outcome.
Also, Wedge was using Reconnaissance 100% legally. There is an End or Combat step that occurs after damage is dealt. If you don’t believe us, ask the googles real quick before you post.
Ok that’s it. Hope you enjoy the episode!
JUDGE!
great game guys, Thx for doing what u do. that goes for you 2 prof!
Great game. I love GameKnights
Wedge broke the rules, reconnaissance makes the creature deal/take no damage that turn.
The Command Zone you should have the host from spellslingers
Are we going to acknowledge the fact that wedge rolled 1 2 3 4 in a row
Juuuuudddgggeee!
What.

That is amazing.
The Chaos God favored him

No
"I don't know what's going on entirely, but I do know we are all going to die."
-Prof
1) Josh was being nice by skipping the Athreos triggers when Edgewalker died
2) Wedge could have avoided attacking Non-Josh players by using his enchantment to remove the creature from combat BEFORE dmg was dealt.
SwordInStone it was exiled not killed.
@@spewdiepie1067 Edge "In response to Blood Artist I'm going to Swords to Plowshares your Edgewalker"
Josh "In response to Swords to Plowshares I'm going to sacrifice Edgewalker to Rasoketh but I won't trigger Athreos because I'm nice"
That’s kinda cheating. It’s not an optional ability.
yes it is bc u can sac something before an ability No Your Average Nothing
MTG: Fatal Push I’m not referring to Sword in Stone’s example. Athreos’ trigger is non-optional.
I swear, Ancient Tomb is the only land Jimmy puts in his decks. He's always mana screwed.
anyone knows how many lands is playing in that deck?
Ignacio Gallarati According to the decklist in the description there are 36. I guess Jimmy is just really unlucky...
Poor Jimmy...
the issue is that if mana screw once, you can call him unlucky,
but if it happens everytime...
i guess it means he should rebuild the deck or maybe stop keeping Ancient Tomb?
Mr.RPGamer that's me hahaha. One prerelease event for example I wasn't drawing my 4th-5th land so I brought my land count up to 24 (In a 40 card deck mind you!) and I ended up mulliganing to 4 the next round because my hands had no lands in them. I even let other people shuffle my deck several times and no one could figure out how I was so unlucky.
He's dumb when it comes yo building decks so several of those "lands" don't even tap for mana, or they tap for colorless. Dude's bad at Magic unfortunately.
Ah, Teferi's Protection... the $40 second place card.
nope, can’t play shadowborn apostles at instant speed
@@plazstic But you can activate Phyrexian Altar at instant speed
People just use it as a fog sometimes, but it's way better when protecting your board from a board wipe.
Really do be like that sometimes, don't it tho
@@StarDoesntUpload Absolutely, but protecting yourself from lethal damage is pretty good use too!
I like that for everyone's commanders behind them in the thumbnail JLK has a Shadowborn Apostle
I read this as Hebrew commander... I thought someone was going to playing a Judaism themed deck. Not sure what would be in it but I would concede out of respect to such a mad lad.
Let me check what I could brew... Maybe golem tribal with Kabbala, erm, Cabal Coffers and Armageddon?
After watching this episode, I'm more than convinced that, if there ever was an MTG cartoon series, the Professor should be a character.
The professor would be an amazing bond villain
Hello Mr bond, I didn't see you there.
Josh: Plays a tap land
Jimmy: Nice start from JLK
Wedge: Hold my beer
And it's another episode of Josh doing disgusting stuff, Jimmy getting mana screwed, and the professor playing jank. Props to Wedge for the good fight.
Main issue is that Josh was practically ignored for the entire game. Wedge is at fault for playing a Commander that fundamentally cannot be controlled in any way, especially when Josh was stuck for a substantial length of time.. One or two swings at Josh would have taken him out before the deck went off.
@@nebula8851 He had a way to prevent it from disturbing the other players by using that enchantment to remove it from combat before dmg was dealt. Instead he sat back and let Josh win because attacking despite the boardstate was the only thing he cared about.
Now I want to see Melissa DeToro's enchantress deck versus Josh's Apostle deck.
Jimmy: "Why you bully me?" Josh: "Bye."
That was the filthiest combo I think I've ever seen.
I think it only really worked because the only player able to get answers was Wedge. Neither Jimmy nor Prof were able to contribute to fending off Josh's board and God knows how many potential answers Prof threw away with Scry.
@@InsanoRider777 the problem is that even when you get rid of the apostiles he can still get them back easily either through his commander or other means.
You basically need to have like 3 graveyard hatepieces in the 3 decks palying against it to stop that nonsense.
@@WambwneD my friend built this deck exactly from this episode, and it’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.. after 2 plays against it I told him I’ll never play that deck again.
@@aaronmitchell9273 like it didn't work or it did?
The fact that Jimmy refused to pay 3 life to put one apostle in his graveyard when he was saccing them for demons was a huge misplay.
Jimmy what the hell, man? Minotaur creatures don’t cost 6 mana. What kind of cards were kicking around in your hand?!
Probably cards with double or triple red in their costs, and his only source of red mana was Rakdos Signet. This is why he couldn't cast Chaos Warp and Squee in the same turn.
I would not be surprised if he also had some big demons in his hand honestly the only cord in the game that I can think would’ve helped him would be sword of the animist because he could attached it to one of his creatures and then searched his deck for a land and put on the battlefield practice always has one of these two problems either they can’t get lands or they can’t draw cards
His Neheb deck focuses on the discard part of Neheb, not the tribal part
Love it. Just realized I never really saw the professor genuinely laugh and happy on most videos. Was nice to see that when he was joking with Wedge about the Facebook status joke.
B Berry sorry i know this comment is old, but if you enjoy seeing a genuinely happy professor then check out the tolarian public library where he uploads his drunken mtgo streams. Its beautiful and wholesome and great. Have a good weekend.
Blood Artist to Wedge after Teferi's Protection: "Omae wa mou shindeiru"
"Nani!!?!"
*Dies*
I'm new to commander and this method of showing a game in progress is incredibly helpful. Having the beginner-friendly commentary, the constant pauses and close ups of cards allow me to actually follow the game. Very well done, thank you to everyone involved in making this
Saffron Olive should totally make a guest appearance at some point lol
o but that voice
I second the idea. or any player from the command clash series
Yes please!!!
Seth and PleasantKenobi would be the best combination of players on this show.
You mean Seth, Probably Better Known As Saffron Olive?
When Wedge used the sunforger to search his library for the chaos warp, he should of lost 10 life and sacrificed a creature because of Ob Nixilis effect @ 46.55. just wanted to point this out
thanks for the video great deck Josh
Would love a decklist :)
Doh!
Agreed! Josh can we see that decklist!? That deck was nasty.
they always have them listed just click show more and scroll down
this calls for a DECK TECH!!!!

It’s cool to check this out from the future and appreciate just how much the team’s production quality has improved over the years. The audio, editing, and set design have all come so far!
Still super fun to watch these now though!
Jimmy: The route we’re taking today is -
Professor: Your destruction.
Prof hexed jimmy. He stopped drawing lands after that.
I’d love it if we could get homebrew commander games like this more often, they’re by far my favorite vids you guys post
Aren't literally all of the decks they play homebrews?
John McCormick I mean decks that they have that arent gimmick ones, like all using c17 commanders or commanders from a new set etc.
"I'm a man of science!"...proceeds to play Thassa, god of the Sea and pray that she can block when she's just an enchantment. :p
That snapping of the cards is so satisfying to hear
Omg yes lol
One of the best "Game Knights" episodes of all time. Inspired me to build my own Athreos deck. Thank you JLK for the amazing game!
Congrats JLK, you probably singlehandedly doubled the price of Shadowborn Apostle :p
Dylan Bramer I bought the entire decklist 5 hours after watching the video so if it goes up I'm ok :D
yeah, anywhere from $3.50 - $5/ea now.
The French Press Test I got mine for 2.09
HE DID IM SO ANGRY I NEED SIX MORE AND I HAVE NO MONEY
Think they are back down to $2 now...could be wrong
You guys didn’t forget about the fans that have been yearning for EXACTLY this. Thank you guys! Josh, that combo was nasty. How consistent is it? I’m glad I got to see the decks work.
Very. You just get Razaketh and edgewalker every time and nobody's got anything on you.
People HAVE TO pay life to disrupt the flow when the first batch of apostles get sacrificed (which Jimmy badly misplayed I think)
The combo's weak spot is also instant speed graveyard hate (to exile the apostles when they hit the yard), or static hate effects like Leyline of the Void.
Watching this over 2 years later... I miss the banter. Josh, Jimmy and crew have gotten miles ahead of this in terms of production, but I feel like it lost a little something on the way. This sounds like one of the games around my table, just hanging with friends, casual, like the format should be. The cutaways where we hear the other players laugh are awesome.... I don't know, maybe it's just nostalgia, but I would definitely sacrifice some of the new beautiful production for a little more of this casual, whimsical feeling.
It's definitely the nostalgia syndrom, it happens to me a lot for shows I followed for years, but then I realize it's baseless criticism because the quality of animations, the dynamism and the overall understanding of the game for newer players are through the roof now, and I cannot complain, and if you really feel that it is too much, even though I think you're then a bit ungrateful, there is still extra turns, and I know there are a lot of people complaining about the new format of game knights but weirdly enough, extra turns are yet getting way less views when it's truely the purest form of friend commander with no glitters what so ever
@@alexrecuenco Yeah, you're not 7, so stop wining about production value like an old entitled child, if you feel that animations and fluidity are ment to infantilize you, you probably have an ego problem, like a lot of mtg players these days apparently...
@@lasterman94100 I definitely don't feel ungrateful, I love all of their content and appreciate the time and effort in creating it! Plus, I'm sure they are fairly remunerated, so I think a friendly opinion isn't out of order. Just chatting.
@bret4880 bret4880 I am responding to the one who just responded yesterday to my own comment, saying that he doesn't need all the animations because he's not 7
@@phobosrising9849 I know dude, I already responded to you a long time ago, I am responding to another guy who just commented, but was way more arrogant in his response, I have no problem what so ever with your original post
I haven't played MTG since freshman year college. That was 11 years ago, didn't even know that today I'd be buying my fist cube deck to teach my friends and family Magic.
Thank you guy for the nostalgia.
I felt Jimmy's disgust from here.
The MNZ yeah getting mana screwed in edh sucks. The silver lining is usually people won't target you as much but voltron decks are heartless lol.
Jimmy always gets mana screwed.
Yeah, I would have conceded, but he stuck it out.
Called it, I knew Prof couldn't resist playing sygg. Keep up the great work guys!
Fluffy Derg he loves low mana cost commanders with cheeky effects
We know how much he loves Merfolk!
Fluffy Derg I remember he made a Sygg video.
I literally just watched that video
Game Hero He's made 2 around sygg decks and heavily talked about it in 2 more.
Uhm, Prof. says there's no Lords of Chaos, yet no one is commenting on that straight 1, 2, 3, 4?
Lords of order ftw
The probability of having a string of four die rolls that are consecutive (e.g 1, 2, 3, 4) is around 0.231%.
Josh's take on Athreos is amazing. I give mad props to him for that idea.
Prof, Wedge is, in fact, wearing his glasses.
I played last night/this morning in a crazy series of games. There were a couple moments where everyone held their breath, and then laughed like crazy at the stupidity of the boardstate/stack! Commander is great.
Had exactly this happen today in our 5-hour Commander night tonight. We were only 3 players this time, so I wasn't sure if it would be as fun as usual (we are usually 4-5 in our group) - but it was actually close with tons of great moments and 3 super close, epic struggles. Even the game with 2x Muldrotha and me on Karametra getting locked out by Mist of Stagnation turned out fun once I actually managed to remove it for good and "go off".
Prof: "Let's do war" ....then passes turn.....bold move
We need an ongoing counter for how much damage Jimmy has taken from Ancient Tomb in all of game knights lol.
You're saving my whole week guys. I'm always waiting for new episode.
LOVE
YOUR
CHANNEL
I'm 23 minutes in and just realiced that Jimmy is wearing a VGHS T-Shirt. I loved that show and discovered this channel completly unrelated to the show. Took me a while too to realice that it's the same guy xD
Nice nod there, Jimmy ; )
Same! as soon as I saw that shirt I pictured him with a sailors hat and plastic bubble pipe, can't believe I didn't notice before...
Just a normal day... then suddenly Josh swoops in with 70 shadow born Apostle
Me: INCOMING!
Wedge looks like Kirby with that shirt on 😂😂
lmfaooo
Poyo!
I think this is pretty much my favourite commander game on gameknights . It has both prof and wedge, whom are so funny when paired together and I always love watching games where the players make the experience enjoyable for both player and watcher, through both awesome plays and hilarious moments of mayhem/shenanigans (lords of chaos and prof’s reaction)
Professor is by far the best guest on the show
Andrew Schmidt professor is best mtg waifu
It's guest power is over 9000
Wedge me likey
commander is such a good format! "Fun and interactive"
if i has a shadowborn apostle for every time wedge said “this is really disgusting”, i would have a griselbrand
Wedge could've made a deal to not attack jimmy at one point, after all he could remove his commander from combat at any time.
xOldSkoolHollywooDx I think there was a point Jimmy was worth more alive than dead to wedge, removing his commander from combat would've given one more turn for Jimmy which could've been critical to deal with Josh.
It wasn't just a matter of being nice, but of keeping Jimmy's life high enough so that he could at least stop some Apostles from going back to Josh's hand.
The Professor attacking Jimmy just to get the most out of his Sword of War and Peace didn't help either.
I have always had a firm belief that it is bad luck to be superstitious.
Oof
Oh god I found this comment again and it's till just as good.
I’ve watched this like 4 times already, 2021 still watching it. I miss having prof on GK
Why isn't he anymore. And why did mana source ( wedge )stop making vids
@@MF-Productions No idea bro, but you can see prof playing commander at I Hate Your Deck channel. I miss Wedge so much also, I think he stopped making videos because he got tired of the internet drama, some guy from another MTG channel wouldn't stop making mean comments and throwing hate at Wedge. It's so sad, The Mana Source was also one of my fav channels to watch.
That play Josh made with the apostles turning the board into a zombie apocalypse was so cool and hilarious when the one guy didn't want any part of it n phased out
Razaketh is definitely an "exile asap" target everytime
Yep, Wedge not exiling it immediately and instead going for Prof's sword was basically what made Josh win the game
Just backed the Last Stand playmat. It really looks sweet. Will definitely look amazing next to my Aftermath playmat that I got from you guys last year. Can't wait to play find it when the mat comes in.
"Only one may stand?" -Prof
I love how Prof always looks hungover.
Watching this now for a second time, I have to say I love jimmy's early enthusiasm...if only he knew....
I mean Wedge gave the game to Josh the moment he didn't throw a swords to plowshares to razaketh while the first apostle was in the stack, he had the mana and instead did something irrelevant with the sunforger. There is not returning from that kind of mistakes.
Yep, that really sealed the game. It's a shame really, it ended up being not all that interesting and too one-sided because of it
I noticed this to, and it really really left a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't understand why Jimmy didn't just pay 3 life to return five apostles instead of six to Josh' hand!
Cuz they're all casual and bad but that's okay
If you guys find a high res image of the last stand you can get a mat from inked gaming so it really isn't the last chance for the playmat to be in the hands of fans
The moment Josh played his Apostle in my head he's automatically my target to get rid off ASAP. Wish I can battle against him.
Yeah, usually if you have a regular group you play with, you'll also learn what decks to go after first. (Unless your group actually settles down onto playing decks around the same power level! But there's always those people who play way too powerfully for their group >.>)
God Jimmy was right that deck Josh was playing is sooooo cool. I'm trying to put together a decklist now from the video and just make it a long-term pet project >.>
EDIT: The decklist is in the description and I'm mad excited
I already made it
It’s been a year. How did it turn out?
@@Society.gave.me.anxiety I didn't wind up doing it. I looked into it some more, and learned that that deck is a thing multiple people play, and people who run it were saying it only ever has one line of play. Each game just goes the same way, and I'm not really into that
The Professor intro had me clapping. GOALS
Didn't they miss the Ob Nixilus trigger when Wedge searched his library with Sunforger to get Chaos Warp? If so Wedge should've lost 10 life, from 17 to 7.
He still lost on the same turn so I didn’t matter in the end
I love how the prof always cites his lands
Of course Prof plays Merfolk.
I had no idea Athreos was so friggin broken. Three guesses which deck I’m building next
Barktooth Warbeard right? Or was it Jedit Ojanen or Kasimir the Lone Wolf
Saint Deyma
johan?
Rasputin?
vorosh?
the Church of Atheros welcomes you!
daughter of autumn
Narset?
I just built josh’s deck and i have not lost a game since i built it 2 weeks ago. ITS CRAZY GOOD!
Deck wrecks when no one is playing graveyard hate like Leyline of the Void, Bojuka Bog, Mass exile, etc. Honestly having some form of graveyard hate is a must in commander, as grave recursion is insane with some decks.
Send me the list of cards on the deck please
The list is in the description of the video
Ok thnx
5:23 im loving Prof's command of the game. XD
Jimmy, I love the VGHS shirt. Loved the show as well.
I remember being really excited every time a new episode of VGHS would come out, years ago haha
Fantastic show. Love the editing. This is actually more interesting than the Pro Tour coverage due to the way that it's filmed and edited. -mM
Did you put a signature on a TH-cam comment?
@@senoreverything6366 huzzah! A man of quality!
The production quality of the new game knights is phenomenal, but sometimes it's be nice to have games like this that are even more casual.
“I’ve had enough peace for this game. Lets do war” “pass turn”
I read *Hebrew Commander*
Damn antisemitic EDH decks and their goddamn removals and graveyard-hatred, but the promised commander people of Our Lord and dominarian Savior Richard Garfield will not be extinguished!
We will take the promised land! DEUS VULTRON!
Had to reread it a few times xD
Hebrew Commander doesn´t stand a chance against Opressive Rays and Honor of the pure though
thenewgoddamngambit what do you mean by saying i read hebrew commander?
the guy read Hebrew instead of Homebrew in the video title
9:11 I really like watching these as a newcomer to Magic. Sounds like you guys are genuinely having fun :)
This has been my favorite game night. I have been binge watching all weekend!
Wow, this has to be one of my favourites episodes of Game Knights! Everything, the guests (Prof you were extremely elegant), the laughs, the decks!
That truly inspire me to build an Athreos Shadowborn Apostles deck, it seems to be a bunch of fun!
PS: I know it’s quite late, but I’m able to answer Prof question at 11:53: it’s an application of the binomial distribution. The aleatory trial « Ruhan smashing someone’s face » is repeated two times, and Prof has a chance of nearly 33% of being hit each one. So we can use the formula, which I unfortunately can’t write here because of my little keyboard that don’t have mathematics symbols. Anyway, the odds of being hit two times are 0,1111…, so there is a little more than 11% what happened happens, but I’m pretty sure a true man of science (or English, but it’s really closely related) could do this in the blink of an eye!
Second PS: My English isn’t very good, I hope that my maths vocabulary is understandable
Greetings from France!
Your probability isn't the whole picture though. The chance of Prof getting his twice is .33^2, which is actually just *under* 11%. However, each swing of Ruhan is independent of the previous swings. So once Prof has already been hit once, his chances of being hit the second time are 33%, same as the first time.
@@timothye.2902 It’s because you round 1/3 to 0,33: if you try with 0,33333, you alrdeady get a number above 11%😁
Please saffron!!!
It would be great to see them ask Sean and Andy from Commander's Brew. Maybe 2HGEDH with partners from BBD? Hmm?
SAFFRON! SAFFRON!
2HGEDH is fun to say. twohgeddhhh!
This is SO freaking good.
I've watched this a couple of times and just watched it again, and, man, this was an amazing game to watch. Kudos!
Prof sure does have a lot of faith in his belief system 😂 awesome game, great group.
These are incredibly well done...I can actually follow it even though I'm new. Thank you!
Is there ever a game where Jimmy doesn't get mana boned or dies to the one land he seems to always have?
Rivals of Ixalan. Check that one Jimmy wins.
Wedge may not be the Santa Clause of Answers but he sure does look like Him!!! XD
Josh. You are a monster. A brilliant, bloodthirsty monster. When you started going off I couldn't help but doing the Dr. Evil laugh the entire time. That, my friend, was awesome.
