A quick note on a couple of things that seem to be tripping people up (slight spoilers below): ---------- 1) Yes, Thran Dynamo had a fate counter on it when the Oblivion Stone was activated. However, Vandalblast was still on the stack so it got destroyed by that. Admittedly, we could have done a better job explaining this interaction. Apologies. 2) Ixidron says "AS" it enters the battlefield. Therefore, it does not flip other creatures that enter at the same time as it does. Also, it only flips "nontoken" creatures. So there were no Ixidron misplays in this episode (unless you count Jimmy attacking me with it as a misplay...which I do) Hopefully this clears some things up. -JLK
Skyler N, that's not how apnap works here. It's Gabby's turn, thus she's active player, then the non active player's triggers go on the stack in turn order. So the stack looks like this: 1) Jimmy's Hulk 2) Jimmy's Hulk 3) Kenji's Hulk Resolving that stack, Kenji searches and his creatures ETB first. Jimmy played it correctly.
405.3: If an effect puts two or more objects on the stack at the same time, those controlled by the active player are put on lowest, followed by each other player's objects in APNAP order (see rule 101.4). If a player controls more than one of these objects, that player chooses their relative order on the stack.
As a newbie commander player (and MTG player in general), I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate you taking the time in these videos to really explain what's going on, why and what the implications are. Working every action through so methodically (and with such great visuals), really helps me follow along. I learn so much from you guys! THANK YOU!!!
Samantha Warren Thanks Samantha! Always glad to hear this type of comment. The show is really geared towards making the game watchable to anyone, regardless of how long they’ve been playing. Thanks for watching!
@@joshleekwai8895 I've been planning to show this to any friends who plan to get into commander because of the accessibility, thanks for the great vids
Samantha Warren I too like these videos, one important thing I have learned from these is in commander don’t be the first to pull of a big flashy thing cause then it turns I to archenemy with you as the target. Instead after a person pulls of their big flashy thing fly just under the radar and when everyone is preoccupied with the first one you can strike from behind.
I played since tempest and I really appreciate these videos as well. I've always been pretty bad unless I copy a deck thats proven to work well, but I'd like to come up with my own things because... cookie cutters are boring. But the commentary REALLY helps with the thought process!
Gaby Spartz, that kicked Rite of Replication'd Ixidron play was one of the best things I've seen on Game Knights thus far! My only regret was that there was no Parallel Lives effect to make 10 of them! =)
Every video in the magic: the Gathering community that says anything to do with the card Rhystic Studies, and you're almost definitely in the comments! :)
Or, have one white mana and Path to Exile the Sun Titan. Or four white mana and Return to Dust the O-Stone. Or, you know, other white cards that exile permanents...
Crunchatize Me Senpai I will agree with you, it was pretty suspicious. But him acting smug could just be him making it harder for the others to read him.
after watching game knights for years this is still probably my favorite game/episode. I love the back-and-forth interaction and the crazy swings that happen.
I actually just came across this channel a couple weeks ago and have been binging episodes in my free time. Of the 20 or so I have watched this is easily the best one I have seen so I totally agree!
Eric Roberts jimmy is why I watch the show. he's in touch with his mom with cooking shows, he's a film geek, and looks like he genuinely enjoys being on this channel. Rock on, Jimmy Wong
I keep coming back to this game every once in a while. I feel it's one of the very best Game Knights episode : the participants, the decks, the game's dynamics and all. Great !
Great episode. Got a little exited about masters 25 commanders until it was revealed there will be no Stangg and his twin. Maybe some day I'll see two headed giant commander game with one side having both players playing Stangg. Stangg facts that you may not know but should: -Stanggs rating in gatherer is 3 stars but his twin is also worth 3 stars so this makes Stangg only 6 stars commander in the game. -Mark Poole created Balance but he later also made Stangg. Wizards then needed Pooles help to Restore Balance. -Mark Poole also created Fear by giving us a card with lots of skulls in it. Where many other creatures have obtained this ability later on, Stangg wears those terrifying skulls as decoration in his armor. -Card Phantasmal Forces shows beings from dream realm to embody Stangg and his twins as in dream realm they know Stangg is embodiment of true heroism. -"Only in mirror Stangg finds his equal"-Mirror Gallery -Gruul signet is carved in statue of Stangg. We only got to know this after about 24 years when Stangg finally took off his helmet -Feldon of the Third Path has typo in his flavor text: letter S -Even nature itself wanted to follow in Stanggs footsteps. So Kalonian Twingrove was born
Hey game nights, I wanted to say thanks for the amazing content. A really close friend of mine took his own life February 27th, and whenever I see you guys play it always makes me smile, so really, thank you guys so much
This is the best episode that you guys have ever done. The interaction, the tension, the drama. This episode had everything. I feel like when you need something to look back to as an example of the content you need to make, this should be your example. Love it guys! Keep it up!
This was a really amazing episode. It is because of you guys I was able to get back into Magic. I was introduce to it when I was serving in the Air Force and I got into my first league when I was Afghanistan. When I came back to the states, I started to compete in the Standard format. I didn't enjoy Standard too much and felt like I couldn't have fun because people told me Magic isn't suppose to be fun. But you guys showed me it can be fun and I actually enjoy the Commander format more. Once again, thank you and I hope you the best success in the future.
Rashmi says that the spell off the top has to be lower cmc than the spell cast, but she cast repeal, which is cmc 1 and played wall of roots, a cmc 2 spell, with Rashmi. I have played magic for years, and i literally just now had to look up why that works. I had no idea that when a spell is on the stack it can have a different cmc than it otherwise does. Heck i didn't even know you could reduce x costs, because for whatever reason, since i knew they weren't part of cmc normally (since they are 0) i considered them to be additional costs rather than part of the "cost of the spell" as it were. Boy am i glad i looked that up. Excellent game guys.
Wait, seriously? I have also been playing for years, I didn't know that either. And I play a Varolz the Scar Striped deck and run a Ghoultree. I know that THAT doesn't work, I looked it up, but I assumed it worked the same way for x spells on the stack. Guess not.
This was probably my favorite episode to date! I love watching Gabby and Kenji on Twitch, so to see them play some commander with Josh and Jimmy was awesome!
This is maybe one of the best game knights I've ever seen! the ups and downs for each players and the big games each player experienced are great! I hope I can play like this too with my friends! :D
Hands down, some of the best Commander content on TH-cam. Super fun, super great to watch, such high production value, great cast and hosts. Loved this. Supporting your channel.
tense match, sympathetic players, funny & intelligent comments.. and on top even really well presented! keep it up guys, you helped reigniting my love for magic big time :)
one time I was playing against an arcum dagsson combo deck (I was piloting olivia voldaren vampire tribal), his deck was built around cheating out mycosynth lattice, darksteel forge and nevinyrral's disk in three turns to lock everybody else out of the game. he had everything out, waiting to untap disk and nobody had any answers. Then my turn comes up and I draw chaos warp (the only card in my deck than do anything to his combo) I wait until his turn, let him untap disk and activate it and I warp his forge in response. we weren't locked out, and he never cast arcum again :3
i actually made the arcum dagsson deck 4 years ago, my first homebrew after converting it over from colorless karn to blue artificers, and yes that combo is the cheapest way to make the table hate you. i actually took nev disk out....i dont like it for the simple reason that edh is meant to be savored. winning this way didnt bring me satisfaction after awhile, i felt dead inside. however the nev disk/forge/lattice combo is nice occasionally if you need to stomp out other more annoying decks like weenie rush or some kind of apostle demon tutors.
This was awesome. A lot of back and forth, everyone got to do cool stuff; this is exactly what a commander game should be like. This is also why I play Roon so I never have to fear spooky artifacts :P
Kept trying to remember where I knew Kenji from... Friday Nights! Playing a Shadowborn Apostle deck against Graham at a GP. Can't believe it took me so long to recall that. CORRECTION: It was Jer, I just went looking for the video and found it. I am filled with shame for my mistake.
Jackson Wald That is nothing. My commander is Varolz the Scar Striped. I run things like Guttergrime and Death's Presence, and low cmc creatures with high powers. I love when people wipe my board. I once had a turn where someone who was playing the wizard tribal deck from last year played kindred dominance 3 times in a single turn. I ended that turn with 6 tokens creatures at 40/40+.
One of the people in my group runs a token fling deck with thromok the insatiable. You don't know terror until a 7-figure worm is tossed across the table.
i have never played a single game of MTG but i find these episodes amazingly engaging The quality of the production and editing is top notch. Thanks for all your hard work. I understand about 1/5th of what im hearing, lol, but is still pretty cool.
Most vicious game I've been in was an Arch Enemy game were the Arch Enemy was using an Eldrazi deck, and his first scheme let him scry the top few of his deck and get a free creature to battlefield so he got a turn 0 Blightsteel Collossus......
First time in the channel and I can't deny that this is really good for someone who likes to play commander but doesn't have any playmate (just yet). And of course the channel has its own eye candy, and yes that's you Josh (drops all the mancards down).
Watching all of Command Zone videos backwards and I am finally here, 6 years ago. Having watched A TON of videos, I can say for sure that this is probably my favorite one. What a game. Coming from a future where Jimmy misses a lot of land drops and doesn't win a lot, this as his most beautiful win for sure haha. Also, Kenji is just so sweet and cute.
I was playing my dragonlord ojutai against a Gitrog monster. I had top and study out. He started his infinite combo to kill everyone (eldrazi Titans and exanguinate, plus Gitrog for infinite Mana) in response to his casting I topped. Put a dissipate on top, he didn't pay for the study. I drew dissipate and countered his exanguinate so he couldn't kill everyone.
Thats some good shit dude. Just to add to this story dissipate is one of the only possible counters to that combo because if the exanguinate had hit the graveyard the combo could bring it back into the hand with the extra draws from dredging lands into the graveyard.
Jakson Baus well this is why you run redundancies... i run at least 5 ways to win with the combo and double rituals as it’s near impossible to break that.
That wouldn't work though, the rystic study trigger is in addition to the mana cost, so you would have drawn it as the spell resolved, so the exsenguanate would have resolved before you could play the dissipate
Hey Josh and Jimmy! I just wanted to say thank you. I fell out of Magic due to losing my play group and moving to a new city. I would sometimes play on Xbox but it was never the same so I game up and sold most my cards :'( But watching your videos has inspired and excited me enough to reach out to stores to find when their players play Commander and I'm gonna give it a shot. P.S. Animar it my dude. I used a decent amount of artifact creatures and ETB guys, so fun!
That was nuts. So much interaction and everyone coming back from boardwipes. I thought josh was going to do his shenanigans when he was searching for cards before he passed the the turn and then jimmy takes the win. Great episode!!!
I had a player In my pod bribery a blight steel colossus out of another players library and than the owner of the blight steel colossus play homeward path and kill the guy who briberyed it
I don't like talking about Blightsteel and Homeward Path in the same scenario. Someone attacked me with my own Blightsteel and I had Path untapped. I let the damage through, not even thinking. Sad day in magic for me.
I was in a situation where my opponent had a silumgar drifting death on the battlefield and 3 other dragons, so whenever he attacked, all of my creatures (zombie tokens) got -4/-4 and kept dying. So I played vedalken orrery, black sun zenith'ed, then flashed in necroskitter, which gave me control of all of his creatures. Needless to say I was pretty content.
Woah! So many uploads! Thank you. You introduced me to commander. At my first commander event I won 2 Rivals booster packs and got the “sphinxes tutelage” elder dragon and the black one
That was without doubt, the best Game Knights yet! I love Commander games where everyone gets to do stuff, and the stuff done is hilariously busted, and the Commanders powerful. Wish I could Favorite it multiple times!!
Feel like we never see Josh and Jimmy as the last two alive. I’ve watched like 40 of these and this is the only episode that I can recall of this happening. Although I haven’t seen as many of the older episodes.
Just binge watching Game Knights and stumbled on this episode. Figured I’d chime in. I see the pinned comment that says there was no Ixidron misplays. Now I’m not positive, but I’m confident that the triggers went on the stack 4yrs ago as they do today. Which means, since it was Kenji’s turn, his triggers resolve last so Ixidron wouldn’t have seen Kenji’s Titans. Love you guys.
A quick note on a couple of things that seem to be tripping people up (slight spoilers below):
----------
1) Yes, Thran Dynamo had a fate counter on it when the Oblivion Stone was activated. However, Vandalblast was still on the stack so it got destroyed by that. Admittedly, we could have done a better job explaining this interaction. Apologies.

i built a gisela enchant token deck with aurleia warleader and i won turn 6 by attacking
The Command Zone OMG you have thassa of God of the sea I have that card as well I don't use it that much anymore but it's good
Oh yeah I forgot to say the time is 38:51 why the card came out in the game

Off-stream Gooby content is gas!
YT747 agreed. Best episode thus far, imo.
Whole heartily agree. It was an incredible game to see with a lot of charisma pouring from each player
Not just one of the best, but THE best Game Knights imho. Josh's Grenzo combo was so fun to watch (especially when it got thwarted by Ixidron).
Kenji: gets Oblivion stone after it’s blown up for the upteenth time
All other players: how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man
Kenji- runs land destruction
Also Kenji- "Well blue decks are kind of rude"😂😂👍👌👍
He could have won if he dropped his commander early and started destroying lands when everyone had like 4 lol
@@jeremycrane7418 Facts🤣👌🤣👌
Kenji right tho
Kenji-"blue decks are rude"
Also Kenji-*plays rhystic study and cyclonic rift
2 years late but one of the best game knights i have seen. Gripping. So many twists

Rhystic Studies ”Do you pay the one homage to Rhystic Studies?”

@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai really good job pointing that out, I hadn't thought about that. Good thing I cut more than once!
Crunchatize Me Senpai I will agree with you, it was pretty suspicious. But him acting smug could just be him making it harder for the others to read him.
When oblivion stone enters the battlefield, flip all other non-token tables currently in play.
This game is like having a heart attack, 12 times in a row
Exactly
the end is straight up the "Draw! Monstah Cardo!" scene from Yu-gi-oh lmao

Nah, with the amount of shenanigans going on this was planechase

Comander is like a musical chairs arch enemy
Erissia Nyxie Well put.
... until Kenjis board got blown up...
Best episode for game knights, The Shenanigans the turn swings..
drama great... tension.. then release... then tension...
In just two turns, this game turns from commander to archenemy.
Gabriel Young Nonono... Commander is ALWAYS archenemy after turn 3. Who the archenemy is just changes a lot. XD
Sol Ring does that.
Brandon, so true.. Sol Ring is like a target.
And why it should be banned

Hands down, one of the best episodes in a while. Lots of back and forth, a few cutthroat plays. It was AMAZING!
This game... almost an hour long (edited)... it must have been a nightmare edit lol
The things you guys do for us : 0
This is my favorite episode. The stress that Kenji brings to the table is next level!
I keep coming back to this game every once in a while. I feel it's one of the very best Game Knights episode : the participants, the decks, the game's dynamics and all. Great !
agreed
also portrays how chaotic commander can be
Great gameplay and editing. One of your best episodes so far. Nice job guys.
Thank you, Massive Hero Soccer Guy.
"I want these people to feel really bad about themselves."
Words to live by. I need him and Craig in the same episode.
That is a shitty attitude to have in life, not to mention while playing games. Kenji is kind of a dick.
Jeremiah Bachmann dude it’s for fun lol
Jeremiah Bachmann Clearly he’s not serious about that
Jeremiah Bachmann It very clearly was a joke :)
Two of my favorite mtg people with two of my favorite mtg people... the hype is real. It’s so cool to see Gaby and Kenji play Commander
please tell me Jimmy's deck is titled "Animorphs"
That's what every one calls animal morph deck.
Or mighty morphing animar.
that was a good book series
After watching Kenji draft every day for the past few months this is hilarious to watch again
Great episode. Got a little exited about masters 25 commanders until it was revealed there will be no Stangg and his twin. Maybe some day I'll see two headed giant commander game with one side having both players playing Stangg.
Stangg facts that you may not know but should:
-Stanggs rating in gatherer is 3 stars but his twin is also worth 3 stars so this makes Stangg only 6 stars commander in the game.
-Mark Poole created Balance but he later also made Stangg. Wizards then needed Pooles help to Restore Balance.
-Mark Poole also created Fear by giving us a card with lots of skulls in it. Where many other creatures have obtained this ability later on, Stangg wears those terrifying skulls as decoration in his armor.
-Card Phantasmal Forces shows beings from dream realm to embody Stangg and his twins as in dream realm they know Stangg is embodiment of true heroism.
-"Only in mirror Stangg finds his equal"-Mirror Gallery
-Gruul signet is carved in statue of Stangg. We only got to know this after about 24 years when Stangg finally took off his helmet
-Feldon of the Third Path has typo in his flavor text: letter S
-Even nature itself wanted to follow in Stanggs footsteps. So Kalonian Twingrove was born
This is the most dedicated block of text to Stangg I have ever seen in my entire life.
I ques release of the official token got me a little excited.
Craaaazy game... this is Commander... big swings, tons of creatures, massive value. Great game, my dudes.
Hey game nights, I wanted to say thanks for the amazing content. A really close friend of mine took his own life February 27th, and whenever I see you guys play it always makes me smile, so really, thank you guys so much
Tyler Van Tuinen 💙stay strong my friend. If you ever want someone to talk to, you can always DM me on Instagram-jimmy
The Command Zone Thanks man.
I love how this gradually just became a two headed giant of Gaby and Jimmy vs Kenji and Josh.
You should make an Elder Dragon Highlander Game Knights with 4 of the 5 elder dragons. It would be epic
This is the most exciting Game Knights you guys have ever released. Gaby and Kenji
This was definitely the most explosive Game Knights episode in a while! Awesome!

X is zero everywhere but the stack
I'm pretty sure X for repeal was Ixidrons cmc plus the one blue, so she could cast wall of roots for free.
Hands down one of the best episodes of Game Knights ever!!!!!!
This was probably my favorite episode to date! I love watching Gabby and Kenji on Twitch, so to see them play some commander with Josh and Jimmy was awesome!
Favorite episode so far by a mile! The back and forth kept us on the edge of our seats.
After watching a lot of cEDH it's really wierd to see a flash hulk resolve and the player not immediately win the game.
This is maybe one of the best game knights I've ever seen! the ups and downs for each players and the big games each player experienced are great! I hope I can play like this too with my friends! :D
PLEASE tell me that Animar + Morph deck is called the Animorph Deck
It is.

The one where jerr almost played mono-dece? And then had to trade into a combination of top tier decks?
He was in one of the Friday nights, I know that for sure
@@lilith1544 No, it was the GP Calgary episode.
Pretty sure it was the shadowborn apostle deck from gp calagary
Easily one of my favorite Commander episodes.
You guys are the reason i came back to MTG.. been playing for 17 years.. and i can’t seem to get away from this
This is sure the best game of them all and with the higest power level. I really liked it.
So glad you guys got gabby on she is awesome! This was the best game knights yet. Such a swingy game 😁
This episode has without question the largest creatures in all of game knights history. 5 18/18 in one turn?! A 22/22? What even is commander
Jackson Wald That is nothing. My commander is Varolz the Scar Striped. I run things like Guttergrime and Death's Presence, and low cmc creatures with high powers. I love when people wipe my board. I once had a turn where someone who was playing the wizard tribal deck from last year played kindred dominance 3 times in a single turn. I ended that turn with 6 tokens creatures at 40/40+.
Now been replaced with Josh's giant Ob Nixilis in the latest episode.
One of the people in my group runs a token fling deck with thromok the insatiable.
You don't know terror until a 7-figure worm is tossed across the table.
My record was in my Zndrsplt and Okaun deck where Okaun hit 98304 power and toughness. Fling, thou art a remorseless bastard and I love you
With okan, people have gotten over 1228/1228 on okaun in games I've played.
I honestly can't get enough of these. It's so awesome to see the new and old commander decks. Thank you so much for these!
5:31 I lost it after what jimmy said
So glad to see animar win! The best thing it was none COMBO!!!!
“Do you pay the 1?” That’s my catchphrase when I play my spells deck
Omfg I can’t believe it. Kenji’s on Game Knights.
EDIT: Good Lord, he’s also playing the nummy one as his commander
Hugapugtoday Mate I mean, no way we could have him on the show playing a Not-Numot deck right?
You’re entirely right
I appreciate you guys showing how the new cards synergies are, I haven't played magic since 2007 and am getting back into the game.
i have never played a single game of MTG but i find these episodes amazingly engaging The quality of the production and editing is top notch. Thanks for all your hard work. I understand about 1/5th of what im hearing, lol, but is still pretty cool.
Most vicious game I've been in was an Arch Enemy game were the Arch Enemy was using an Eldrazi deck, and his first scheme let him scry the top few of his deck and get a free creature to battlefield so he got a turn 0 Blightsteel Collossus......
Gross, powerful and very gross. Did he end up winning or did you guys save the day?
@@Ovcharka88 we all scooped... It would be one on one by the time we had two lands
Kinda cool how Jimmy and Josh are celebrating past players with Masters 25 cards. Synergy there. :)
This game never gets old. Probably cause its a casual commander game. DO MORE EXTRA TURNS PLZ
First time in the channel and I can't deny that this is really good for someone who likes to play commander but doesn't have any playmate (just yet). And of course the channel has its own eye candy, and yes that's you Josh (drops all the mancards down).
Watching all of Command Zone videos backwards and I am finally here, 6 years ago. Having watched A TON of videos, I can say for sure that this is probably my favorite one. What a game. Coming from a future where Jimmy misses a lot of land drops and doesn't win a lot, this as his most beautiful win for sure haha. Also, Kenji is just so sweet and cute.
I was playing my dragonlord ojutai against a Gitrog monster. I had top and study out. He started his infinite combo to kill everyone (eldrazi Titans and exanguinate, plus Gitrog for infinite Mana) in response to his casting I topped. Put a dissipate on top, he didn't pay for the study. I drew dissipate and countered his exanguinate so he couldn't kill everyone.
Thats some good shit dude. Just to add to this story dissipate is one of the only possible counters to that combo because if the exanguinate had hit the graveyard the combo could bring it back into the hand with the extra draws from dredging lands into the graveyard.
Jakson Baus well this is why you run redundancies... i run at least 5 ways to win with the combo and double rituals as it’s near impossible to break that.
That wouldn't work though, the rystic study trigger is in addition to the mana cost, so you would have drawn it as the spell resolved, so the exsenguanate would have resolved before you could play the dissipate
But, I have to study! Well I guess my studying can wait
Jacob Westfahl That’s what I say
You can't study if your opponents keep paying 1 mana!
lol i was supposed to do taxes
so you paid one
Literally Genji would say "I need healing" 46:03
He was making a joke, brain, use it
Hey Josh and Jimmy! I just wanted to say thank you. I fell out of Magic due to losing my play group and moving to a new city. I would sometimes play on Xbox but it was never the same so I game up and sold most my cards :'(
But watching your videos has inspired and excited me enough to reach out to stores to find when their players play Commander and I'm gonna give it a shot.
P.S. Animar it my dude. I used a decent amount of artifact creatures and ETB guys, so fun!
That was nuts. So much interaction and everyone coming back from boardwipes. I thought josh was going to do his shenanigans when he was searching for cards before he passed the the turn and then jimmy takes the win. Great episode!!!
This guy turn two bribery grabbed my emurkal eldritch moon one and just beat everyone down
I had a player In my pod bribery a blight steel colossus out of another players library and than the owner of the blight steel colossus play homeward path and kill the guy who briberyed it
I don't like talking about Blightsteel and Homeward Path in the same scenario. Someone attacked me with my own Blightsteel and I had Path untapped. I let the damage through, not even thinking. Sad day in magic for me.
I was in a situation where my opponent had a silumgar drifting death on the battlefield and 3 other dragons, so whenever he attacked, all of my creatures (zombie tokens) got -4/-4 and kept dying. So I played vedalken orrery, black sun zenith'ed, then flashed in necroskitter, which gave me control of all of his creatures. Needless to say I was pretty content.
Great game guys!. Woot numot and gaby on game knights!
one of the most back and forth games ive seen in a while, great shit guys, this series is awesome
Woah! So many uploads! Thank you. You introduced me to commander. At my first commander event I won 2 Rivals booster packs and got the “sphinxes tutelage” elder dragon and the black one
I feel like Josh ran out of ways to say "This is bad" at some point.
I felt like Josh was going to start speaking another language to say “this is bad” more
My god this game was such a roller coaster. I love commander
34:40 as a tron commander player, that reaction gets me everytime lol
This is the sickest game by far. Everyone had the chance to do cool stuff. Definitely one of my favorite episodes 🖤
That was without doubt, the best Game Knights yet! I love Commander games where everyone gets to do stuff, and the stuff done is hilariously busted, and the Commanders powerful. Wish I could Favorite it multiple times!!
Holy shit Kenji, you think you got enough mana ramp there?
Jimmy's Morph deck looks super cool, though.
This was, hands-down, the most flip-flop game on this channel.
I wish kenji was in more episodes he is super entertaining.
Feel like we never see Josh and Jimmy as the last two alive. I’ve watched like 40 of these and this is the only episode that I can recall of this happening. Although I haven’t seen as many of the older episodes.
Just binge watching Game Knights and stumbled on this episode. Figured I’d chime in. I see the pinned comment that says there was no Ixidron misplays. Now I’m not positive, but I’m confident that the triggers went on the stack 4yrs ago as they do today. Which means, since it was Kenji’s turn, his triggers resolve last so Ixidron wouldn’t have seen Kenji’s Titans. Love you guys.
Three years later, that main phase Expel from Orazca still confuses the hell out of me.
