Apologies again for the unfocused table camera - I hope the game itself made up for it! What did you think of this CREATOR SHOWDOWN and who else should we film with??? Edit: There were 2 misplays at the end where we got some rulings wrong pls don't learn from us!
Great game! Always fun to watch these games. By the way - Joey's final Marionette Master trigger should have still done 6 damage. From the rulings: "The amount of life lost is determined as Marionette Master's last ability resolves. If Marionette Master is no longer on the battlefield, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life is lost."
Yeah, effects that use last-known info are counter-intuitive, but that could've have changed things. Also deflecting swat could not have redirected the life loss to joey, as the marionette master can only target opponents (so it would have gone at his other opponent).
That was an amazing game! To another 20k more! 🎉 To celebrate this 20k, invite three of your favorite guests with their favorite decks and each of you switch decks and play a fun game!
YOO that was such a great game! Love the synergy between you guys❤ That big last stack was awesome! And Joey aaaalmost got the Treasure Vault Thing he never did before! Awesome! Also: congratulations to 20k! 🥳 to celebrate what about some big live stream with EDH with the usual gang, maybe some guests if they're available. What a great milestone Esmond, so proud of you! 🤗
This was such an AWESOME game! :D I did not quite understand the "fun play" with Akroan Horse, but the "good play" was quite nice! :D The players were very entertaining. Awesome pod!
Congrats man! I continually see you guys recommended on reddit, so it is great to see you get rewarded for all the work. For the celebration I'm thinking very simply some games with the guys frequently on the channel, but playing their favorite decks just having a good time. Alternatively maybe arrange some games with the decks who have won in the past?
Congrats on 20k subs! I would say, as a treat, that you revisit the first game played on the channel however showing how the decks have been upgraded since that first episode. Any new cards, new synergies, new tricks to bring to play.
So glad to see this channel get 20k subscribers! Been telling all my friends how much I love these videos :D You guys should celebrate by building decks for each other to play in an episode
Just a small note about the Marionette Master turn. If the creature dies with a trigger on the stack, last known information is used to determine the amount of life that is being lost. It's also the first ruling on the card on scryfall/gatherer. Second note: The Deflecting Swat can only choose legal new targets and since the master says "opponent", the only legal target would be Jon. John goes down to 10 life then. If joey has another artifact to sacrifice, he could use the Marionette trigger for 6 to put him down to 4. And put him at least to 1 life :D
Was about to say too. Though, lazy to rewatch & check if the math would hav thrown the game in another direction. Great show & really media-, comedy-savvy guests! Gratz on 20K, Esmond & Team!
That was one hell of an end to the game. Really enjoyed this, as always! And best of luck as your channel passes thru the 20k mark! I hope you had a good time at the convention, despite the turbulent times. I look forward to more videos from you.
I’m so glad I saved this video for a while. Joey’s Baba Lasagna deck has been on my mind for so long especially after seeing the edhrec video on it. Amazing pod, amazing decks, great banter, I’m very glad conventions are getting back to swing. Hopefully you get to come back to US soon Esmond! Keep up the great work 😊
I'm still learning the rules of the game so please correct me if I'm wrong but at 32:50 Joey made a play trying to go for some damage using Marionette Master and somehow the damage got defflected at him Esmond used Deflecting Swat on Marionette Masters ability Marionette Master {4}{B}{B} Creature - Human Artificer Fabricate 3 (When this creature enters the battlefield, put three +1/+1 counters on it or create three 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature tokens.) Whenever an artifact you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, target opponent loses life equal to Marionette Master’s power. How is Joey a legal target when it Marionette Master says target opponent? Also why did Marionette Master fizzle when their should have been a snapshot of its power as it entered the stack as per 113.7a 113.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won’t affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, “Prodigal Pyromancer deals 1 damage to any target”) rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source for use while announcing an activated ability or putting a triggered ability on the stack checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone it’s expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.
@@QMTG oh I was right! Again I'm still learning so I'm happy to see that at least I'm managing to retain some information. I really appreciate this channel and thank you for getting back to me.
I love this channel so far, and I've been thrilled to see Joey popping up on shows and showcasing his Baba Lysaga deck. I'm hoping to build it soon, so it's always fun to see how people react to it's shenanigans!
Been watching lot of your vids lately, they fun to watch and I like both the decks and the social aspect of your pods. For the celebration I'd say: try a Pauper pod, or a pod with each player using one of the m19 dragons as a commander ^^
Great video as always! I was the guy in the Tom&Jerry hoodie behind y'all, and it was an absolute pleasure to be able to meet you on the Friday of the con! You were just as gracious and friendly as I expected, Esmond. It was a bummer I didn't get to do creator clash with you, the system was a liiiiittle messed up for this con, but I'm hopeful for future conventions!
Congrats on the 20K!!! This was a great game; Joey's always a favorite, and the whole table had fun interactions. For the 20K celebration, how about "Quintessential" EDH decks... The deck that represents who each player is most perfectly (either play style or personality). Maybe even be have an opponent build the deck for the player.
Congrats on the 20k Subscribers! Hoping your channel will keep growing to 50k and beyond! A fun way to celebrate would be giveaway some of QC's favorite or most notable cards, autographed by the person who played them. Or maybe even the whole group.
It was awesome to see this group play with each other I already follow all of them so that was exciting. And congratulations on 20k and look forward to more of your success in the future.
A couple of misplays - deflecting swat can't make Joey's Marionette master trigger target himself. The ability can only target his opponents. When the original marionette master trigger resolves it will use last known information from before it died, which would kill Esmond. These were kind of consequential, but very good game overall.
Amazing achievement! It's been so fun to see this channel grow. Thanks for all your efforts and sharing games but also life with us. Congrats on 20k. Let's celebrate with a game where a patron is a guest player!
Great episode! Love this channel. Celebrating 20k? Im thinking celebrating with a game that has the best decks of the past or a game with fans. either way, Congratulations!
Congrats to the 20k! Been a viewer for a long time and gotta say you are one of the best gameplay for commander on youtube. To celebrate the 20k, I think it be fun to see you guys build each other a deck to play on couple different episodes or get someone to all build you decks and go in blind.
Congratz on the 20K!!! This channel really deserved it!! On to the next milestone now! Also, it was an awesome game to watch, I really wished I could have been there... That summit event seemed soo fun... To celebrate the 20K event... Each player should have a deck themed around the number 20... Could be anything, for example: - Each nonland cards has exactly 20 words of text. - The total power of all creatures in the deck is equal to 20, - A deck made with 20 sorcery, 20 instant, 20 creatures, 20 artifact, 20 enchantment, 20 lands... Of course, the lethal commander damage count should be reduced to 20 and the starting life should also be 20 :P
Congrats on 20k!! That’s awesome! 🎉 Great episode too! I booked you filmed many more during your trip! To celebrate, maybe a livestream of 20 games in a row, rotating players in and out 😅
![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 89 | คู่เอก "ยอดไอคิว vs คิริลล์"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z3vYkHJ_5Ig/mqdefault.jpg)
Should celebrate 20k with a commander party, have everybody play decks based around the party mechanic (def good idea)
For sure
Congratulations, you've won! Email us with your details :)
🎉 CONGRATS ON 20K! 🎉 Thanks for the epic game, this was SO MUCH FUN!
Thanks!!! Yes definitely a highlight of the entire summit
An absolute honor to be part of this pod! Such a great game! Best memory for me from the summit!
Same!
Apologies again for the unfocused table camera - I hope the game itself made up for it! What did you think of this CREATOR SHOWDOWN and who else should we film with???
Edit: There were 2 misplays at the end where we got some rulings wrong pls don't learn from us!
You are excuse for this awesome game!! thank you, Esmond. This is just awesome
Compared to you usual blackmagic this is sad, but the game is 100% legible. And also a great time!
I loved this
Pleasent kenobi, prof and Goldfish crew!
I know this old video and probably won't see this but can we get a full deck list for Queen Marchesa (Long May She Reign) please!!!!
Alex has a such a radio/announcer voice and I want him to commentate every commander game
Wow, Baby Lasagna CAN really apply some pressure, and use it for card/life advantage!
Great game! Always fun to watch these games.
By the way - Joey's final Marionette Master trigger should have still done 6 damage.
From the rulings: "The amount of life lost is determined as Marionette Master's last ability resolves. If Marionette Master is no longer on the battlefield, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life is lost."

Half the fun of commander games for me is the table chemistry. This looked like such a fun game to play and was great to watch. Congrats on the 20k.
Sad that Matthew wasn't there for me to cheer for, but a thoroughly enjoyable game. Joey + you is a great match of personalities.
This was def one of the most fun episodes on the channel. Miss the regulars but these 3 were great guests and Esmond was great as always
I need more Joey and Baba Lysaga in my life!!!
Same
Nice to see Joey in a game. Fun video, keep it up guys!
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow! Four of my favorites at the same table!!!!
That was an amazing game! To another 20k more! 🎉
To celebrate this 20k, invite three of your favorite guests with their favorite decks and each of you switch decks and play a fun game!
“Here’s a TH-cam ad!” *Esmund Concurs and Shows Ad*
Oh my god my sides at the comedy pairing of you people. Thanks for sharing and congrats on 20k!
Thanks so much!!
That baby lasagna deck put in some work there. Ooof.

Such a fun ending!
Great fun as always ! I think Joey makes a good Matthew !
That was awesome! Lots of fun to watch.
this was one of the best online commander games i've watched; super genuine
This was a fun game to watch. I was trying to see Joey's Baba Lysaga deck played. That is how I found the channel.
YOO that was such a great game! Love the synergy between you guys❤ That big last stack was awesome! And Joey aaaalmost got the Treasure Vault Thing he never did before! Awesome!
Also: congratulations to 20k! 🥳 to celebrate what about some big live stream with EDH with the usual gang, maybe some guests if they're available. What a great milestone Esmond, so proud of you! 🤗
I love that Jon played a rogues passage and said "just in case" and that's actually what won him the game 😂
Great video, loved this group
AMAZING FINISH! I love your channel! Great games and huge laughs! Congratulations!
Been waiting to see Joey's baby lasagne since he did the video on it. Very fun game. Congrats on the 20k 👌🏼
This was such an AWESOME game! :D I did not quite understand the "fun play" with Akroan Horse, but the "good play" was quite nice! :D The players were very entertaining. Awesome pod!
Congratulations on 20k subs. Glad I'm 1 of them. Definitely 1 or the best mtg channels out there!!
Thanks!
The magic summit was awesome! I remember seeing this pod playing there, glad to see the game now!
4 of my favorite channels in one game and Joey’s infamous baba deck! Congrats on 20k!
This game was so much fun to watch and each deck getting to showcase itself couldnt have been better. plus all the fun interactions were *chefs kiss*
What an awesome game! Congrats on the 20k, been here since the beginning
Awesome, thanks!
Great game, I was looking forward to see Joey’s deck in action. So much fun! Perhaps celebrate doing a giveaway of a BRO or Dominaria Remastered box?
Congrats man! I continually see you guys recommended on reddit, so it is great to see you get rewarded for all the work. For the celebration I'm thinking very simply some games with the guys frequently on the channel, but playing their favorite decks just having a good time. Alternatively maybe arrange some games with the decks who have won in the past?
Congrats on 20k subs!
I would say, as a treat, that you revisit the first game played on the channel however showing how the decks have been upgraded since that first episode. Any new cards, new synergies, new tricks to bring to play.

This was a most delightful game to watch! Everyone's so funny and charming.
Absolutely hilarious game. Really fun to watch
Congrats on the 20k subscribers!
This was an amazing game. Congrats for reaching 20K and I finally got to see Baba Lasagna in action! Such great value!
That was one hell of an end to the game. Really enjoyed this, as always! And best of luck as your channel passes thru the 20k mark! I hope you had a good time at the convention, despite the turbulent times. I look forward to more videos from you.
New subscriber and watcher here, I’m loving the content so far! Also congrats on the 20k!

Amazing pod, amazing decks, great banter, I’m very glad conventions are getting back to swing. Hopefully you get to come back to US soon Esmond! Keep up the great work 😊
Thank you for the content! Really love your editing and gameplay. Keep up the great work! Support from Hong Kong :)
Thanks!!!
Congrats on 20k subscribers! You deserve so much more for your great content. Keep it up
I'm still learning the rules of the game so please correct me if I'm wrong but at 32:50 Joey made a play trying to go for some damage using Marionette Master and somehow the damage got defflected at him
Esmond used Deflecting Swat on Marionette Masters ability
Marionette Master

Yeah we got those triggers wrong
@@QMTG oh I was right!
Again I'm still learning so I'm happy to see that at least I'm managing to retain some information.

That was a very fun episode. Great team.
I love this channel so far, and I've been thrilled to see Joey popping up on shows and showcasing his Baba Lysaga deck. I'm hoping to build it soon, so it's always fun to see how people react to it's shenanigans!
Fantastic game! I love interactive games and that delivered.
Congrats on 20k🎉 This was a cool video! To celebrate 20k you should bring the very first commander deck you built
Been watching lot of your vids lately, they fun to watch and I like both the decks and the social aspect of your pods.
For the celebration I'd say: try a Pauper pod, or a pod with each player using one of the m19 dragons as a commander ^^
I love this kind of collab’s ! I hope we can have more of them !
Thanks for the giveaway :)
The Baba Lysaga deck is so cool! Great build
Congrats on the 20k subscribers and thank you for all the content and the discount I used on your store
Congrats on 20K! This episode was loads of fun and I’m excited to keep up with this channel for years to come ❤
Yay, thank you!
Congrats on 20K! This is just the beginning! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll keep climbing and reaching more people!!
Congrats Esmond!
You should celebrate 20k subs by uploading 20k EDH videos! XD
But really, congrats on the 20k, it's always so much fun to watch you guys play.
You all should celebrate 20k subscribers by playing a game with user-suggested commanders! Great game!!!
Great video as always! I was the guy in the Tom&Jerry hoodie behind y'all, and it was an absolute pleasure to be able to meet you on the Friday of the con!

Great game and great banter
Congrats on the 20k subs! Would love to see all of you play your personal favourite decks in a game to celebrate the milestone!
Super fun game. Congrats on the 20k!! Would love to see a pod of patron recommended decks.
Hey! Thanks for coming to SLC! Great game and great win. And congrats to 20k subs. I remember when the channel was sub 1k.
I never realized how yoked Joey is, those arms! 🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on 20k, I think the giveaways are a great way to celebrate this milestone
Congrats on 20k! Love having the other creators on this episode. Especially Joey, he's one of my faves to watch play
Such a fire pod. Big fans of all three guests, but Alex is just mint.
It was awesome to see this group play with each other I already follow all of them so that was exciting. And congratulations on 20k and look forward to more of your success in the future.

Congrats on 20k! I think you should definitely do more Content Creator showdowns!

Thanks a ton!
Great game!
This was such a great and fun game! Glad I just found the channel! Congrats on 20k!
Rooting for Baba... I saw the deck's deckteck and it was promising
Congrats for hitting 20k! Keep the awesome content coming, and on to the next 20k!
Thanks so much Esmond I love your show! Congrats on 20k!
Congratulations on 20K! You should do an episode of previous winning decks. That would be fun.
most fun episode
Great episode! Love this channel.
Celebrating 20k? Im thinking celebrating with a game that has the best decks of the past or a game with fans. either way, Congratulations!
Congrats Edmond!! Proud of the work you’ve done
Congrats to the 20k! Been a viewer for a long time and gotta say you are one of the best gameplay for commander on youtube.
To celebrate the 20k, I think it be fun to see you guys build each other a deck to play on couple different episodes or get someone to all build you decks and go in blind.
that baby lasagna deck! :O i want it! Lovely Pod with lovely people !
Who cares about camera quality with such quality players and unique decks :D wonderful stuff!
Congratz on the 20K!!! This channel really deserved it!! On to the next milestone now!
Also, it was an awesome game to watch, I really wished I could have been there... That summit event seemed soo fun...
To celebrate the 20K event... Each player should have a deck themed around the number 20... Could be anything, for example:
- Each nonland cards has exactly 20 words of text.
- The total power of all creatures in the deck is equal to 20,
- A deck made with 20 sorcery, 20 instant, 20 creatures, 20 artifact, 20 enchantment, 20 lands...
Of course, the lethal commander damage count should be reduced to 20 and the starting life should also be 20 :P
