Him and Jarvis! It's so funny to have followed both of them. And watch them go from, "hmm, I'm kinda getting back into playing magic" to being on every Commander channel 😂
Im pretty new to magic and commander but i predicted this pretty precisely since it was spoilered. Im pretty happy i got one myself for about 30€. 😁👌 Cant wait to play it in my playgroup.
wow, green blue lands is good in a 40 life format? It's almost like it's the perfect strategy to take advantage of the rules and social dynamics of commander.
This episode had such a great feel! The standing intro/outro, the looser banter, the early turns going by faster, etc. it was really really well done. Big props to the whole team!
Duskmourn might be my favorite set of all time. Im a massive fan of horror movies, games and this set has everything that tickles my fancy. Im over the moon woth this new set.
I hope you guys are doing another episode with playing Archenemy in commander. I would love to see that. It would be epic. This game was awesome and hilarious, and more importantly... Spooky!!!
Hearing Ify and Jarvis on the Sad Boyz podcast episode where they talked about MtG, the first thing I thought to myself was "I'd love to play a game with these guys; they seem like they've got great vibes for Commander." The SECOND thing I thought was "Hopefully they'll show up on Game Knights sometime." Thank you for making at least one of these become true.
The editing on this video was perfect. The intro was fantastic, I rewatched it because I loved it so much; although ok all of the scenarios hit way too close to home (I think each has happened to me lol). The little flares, like Lord of Pain on the life counter @ 31:08, were phenomenal. Y'all crush it every time, but this video felt extra special with the details. Well done! Love to see Iffy on TCZ, huge fan. Jarvis was amazing as well and hope to see him more. Great game, guys, I got a lot of inspiration for my decks!
Ify survives, but would've he been able to bring Jimmy from 9 to 0 that turn? He couldn't even recast Lord of Pain, because it wouldn't trigger for him that turn, and then Jimmy would've been able to turn the cast trigger against Ify.
Yeah, but even if that's the case, Jimmy woulda killed Josh and Jarvis, and even if Ify has something, Jimmy woulda won either way with the Lord of Pain hitting Ify himself. I'm not sure if there was a game changing moment if Ify has something, but it is what it is.
Shouldn't Zimone have went back to Jimmy's hand? Her power is Odd. Then she would be gone and Thassa wouldn't be a creature therefore neither could attack
She’s a base 3/3. The bounce spell puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature THEN bounces all cards of the chosen quality, which he chooses odd. He put the counter on Zimone, making her a 4/4, then chose to bounce all odd powers. That’s why she stayed
to be fair, even with out the 1/1 counter which was optional, jimmy had lethel on josh who had 4 life left. it was a win even though the 1/1 counter kinda made things kinda sus.
I literally paused this video and was completely encapsulated with this intro. I love the authentic use of actual props much as in the actual Twilight Zone into. So refreshing. I love this kind of attention to detail. Keep it up!
I know that the conflict resolution scene might have felt a little cheesy, but I really appreciate that you went there. We have a 5yr old & 9yr old who struggle and fight. Moments like this happen. Sometimes, as an adult, I need ideas to help navigate conflicts between them and others. This at least gave me a few ideas.
This video was great, amazing editing, it’s like a reality tv shows with the breaks to privately discuss ur own reasons for how u played and stuff, amazing job
casting Vanquish the Horde would be a-ok for Ify. It got rid of the creatures of his opponents... which the Archfiend was trying to do. Josh loses Niko and building his board backup is slow. Next time Josh has to pay 6 mana for Niko and it would be summoning sick. In hindsight, the Windfall was bad but Vanquish the Horde wasn't good either. His gamble was getting a single target removal spell from 18 cards among 3 players... I'd do the same thing in his position.
@@tanvirrahman7339I‘m not even sure why he cared about the Archfiend at that point instead of letting the two actual threats deal with it. Both Jarvis and Jimmy had a much bigger issue with it and he could have just sat there cracking Shard instead of wasting so much mana and cards to refill his opponents hands.
@sugar5374 because it was also limiting his ability to make a board. Since if he didn't kill everyone in that turn, he loses X shards copies that could've been used for scry and draws instead
This was such a good video. Intro and graphics were great! Gameplay was epic. Guests super fun. Hosts seemed to having such a good time. The decks all did their thing as designed. Bravo!
This was definitely a great video and an awesome game of Commander. Also, congrats Jimmy for the win. Duskmourn is one of the spookiest sets to come to MTG and I’m happy you got to show them some love. Jimmy is one of my favourite people since he’s so much fun and it was nice to see you claim victory…with an amazing triple K.O. Ify and Jarvis are two of my favourite content creators ever and it was fun to see them make their debut on Game Knights…and it was pretty fun to see them and Josh get taken out at the same time as well as seeing Josh get beat by Jimmy’s landfall deck. Great job Game Knights and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.
I really love a this episode and I can’t wait to to play with them I just wish I didn’t have a seizure while watching it because at 11:18 had lightning flashes it caused me to have one. But none of the less, I still had a great time watching it. Keep up the great games guys!
Finally, someone is not falling to peer pressure to "FuLl SeNd" black market connections. I've seen many players lose because they overspent their life total just on this channel.
If he made the 3/2 for 3 life he had a 4/4 Kona and a 6/6 Vigor with trample to block. If he blocked vigor with the 3/2 he would’ve still taken 8 after playing 3 life or block Kona and take 6 and grow Kona to a 7/7 and have paid the 3 life. So it really didn’t matter much. Either he made the 3/2 losing 3 then good hit for 6 or 8 more or not make the 3/2 and take 10. I also think the full send thing is getting old. But I love the show!
Before josh even said it I also saw iffy as the lord of pain. His evil voice/laugh/everything is SO GOOD! Love seeing iffy on stuff now, such a cool guy. Never heard of Jarvis before this, but he definitely seems like a cool dude as well "Who's the lord of pain now?! ...just kidding PLEASE get rid of the archfiend, I'm still in pain!" Best quote 😂😂😂
Zimone should've been bounced with Zimone's Hypothesis, so not only was she not around, but Thassa should've gone offline, making it unable to attack, meaning Ify should've gotten one more turn. Considering his board, though, it's hard to say if he would've been able to bring Jimmy from 9 to 0... 🤔
@@bendavis4797 Zimone’s Hypothesis targets power, not CMC. Zimone is a 3/3 creature and Aesi is a 5/5, but Jimmy make Aesi’s power even w/ the +1/+1 Hypothesis gives in its first effect.
This was a thrill to watch, some of the most fun politicking I've seen on camera. Gotta say though, it's a bit embarrassing how wrong Graham was about Dig Through Time
Awesome episode! Fantastic seeing Jimmy playing a Landfall deck, which is definitely not something you would expect given his previous decks and land...uh... issues...
I really think Arixmethes would have been perfect for Jimmy's deck. Worst case scenario it can count as a land for the commander trigger. Best case scenario, play it face down and back up as a 12/12 without his slumber counters
In the commentary packages, that "magic hand" on the invisible thread is spinning and I kept thinking they made a "Shard of Niko" free floating and spinning; I was here for it :) Still enjoy it even after I realized it was the "magic hand of cards". I love the set design work at Command Zone -- Thank you Rachel?!
I love Elden Ring! That is an astrological bangle, though. They’re often worn by some yoga practitioners or followers of Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings.
I didnt watch the Episode yet, but Jimmy playing a Landfall Deck seems a bit overly optimistic with his history...
My exact thought. I laughed out loud when he said it
@@Andreasco-if6il and we all know after the game he won't have played enough lands to make up for his past drops
@@Andreasco-if6il I also love how they have embraced the meme of Jimmy missing land drops.

Zimone is a 3/3 and should have been returned to hand with Zimone's Hypothesis. Which then makes Thassa unable to attack
Ify survives, but would've he been able to bring Jimmy from 9 to 0 that turn?
He couldn't even recast Lord of Pain, because it wouldn't trigger for him that turn, and then Jimmy would've been able to turn the cast trigger against Ify.
Jimmy put a +1/+1 counter on Zimone using Zimone's Hypothesis, making it a 4/4.
EDIT: Nevermind. Rewatched and realized he put it on Aesi.
It was a misplay, but idk if Ify could have done much at that point, so I feel it’s safe to say Jimmy had it in the bag.
Nice catch, amazing that even at this level of production there are misplays. It helps me not to feel so bad when it happens to me 😅
Yeah, but even if that's the case, Jimmy woulda killed Josh and Jarvis, and even if Ify has something, Jimmy woulda won either way with the Lord of Pain hitting Ify himself. I'm not sure if there was a game changing moment if Ify has something, but it is what it is.

Still saving for my first commander precon deck. Your content gets me hyped to try it coming back off a long break from mtg.
This show goes above and beyond in comedy and entertainment
so happy to see Ify just thriving in everything he does
Ify is a legend, hopefully you get him back on in the near future 🙌
This video was great, amazing editing, it’s like a reality tv shows with the breaks to privately discuss ur own reasons for how u played and stuff, amazing job
Josh: I don't have anything to deal with this Archfiend, so I'm gonna cast Windfall.
Also Josh: Discards Vanquish the Horde
casting Vanquish the Horde would be a-ok for Ify. It got rid of the creatures of his opponents... which the Archfiend was trying to do. Josh loses Niko and building his board backup is slow. Next time Josh has to pay 6 mana for Niko and it would be summoning sick. In hindsight, the Windfall was bad but Vanquish the Horde wasn't good either. His gamble was getting a single target removal spell from 18 cards among 3 players... I'd do the same thing in his position.

Funnily enough, full send was definitely the correct option there.
The first 3/2 is worth alot, especially on his board there.
Except not making the blocker for 3 life cost him WAY more life
If he made the 3/2 for 3 life he had a 4/4 Kona and a 6/6 Vigor with trample to block. If he blocked vigor with the 3/2 he would’ve still taken 8 after playing 3 life or block Kona and take 6 and grow Kona to a 7/7 and have paid the 3 life.
