I love how the final fight is pretty much Emrakul vs a bunch of Squirrels.
THE SACRED TEXTS!
Peronio Unfortunately the squirrels didn’t win this time
40:11 WE’mrakul
43:32 ARE’MRAkul
46:58 EMRAKUL
THE PROPHECY IS TRUE
The fabled battle.
Squirrel Girl, where were you?
26:19 "A Rakdos signet is not considered finished until it has been used as a murder weapon."
holy shit
Oh my lord that bit of flavor text has never been more fitting than in this game.
Guess it’s finished
Plus The Count is Rakdos.
gamer k and that’s a flavor win
"then there's Jimmy who mindslaver locked me"
Oh I don't even think I'm sorry
It was such a dirty episode where that happened XD Those decks in that one were insane.
@@Alino- wait what episode was that? please i have to see this
@@nyarlathotep5020
Yarrok was one of the commanders on that game
@@nyarlathotep5020 the M20 episode

"There's Olivia, who didn't choose me for arm-wrestling, and honestly that's pretty insultin. There's Tappy who isn't very good at arm-wrestling and I don't respect that. And there's Jimmy, who has mindslaver locked me before and- well I don't need any other reason, it's definitely Jimmy"
That has to be the best line JLK in the entire Game Knights series
I felt that whole saying on my soul. I've been mindslaver locked before. Ended up scooping after they were able to lock the whole table out turns later.
The downside of mindslaver locking someone: the salt is eternal lol.
Famous last words before dying to the lord’s word: SQUIREL!
26:52
Also clearly not the right choice, and I'm sure Josh knew that too.
I love that tappy managed to get an Emrakul with two eldrazi conscriptions and that was only the second most damage a single creature did in a single turn.
I love imagining Emrakul just wandering around, being stuck in a maze
Mumbling to itself how everything looks the same and that it swears it was just here.
Pulp fiction meme with emrakul
Wow didn't even think about it like that...and now just imagining its all too scale and were all suprised hes having difficulty since he can stand over the maze lol
Emrakul is badass bitch. She does not take any shit from anyone.
Must be a big maze to fit Emrakul, that got trapped in THE MOON.
When Josh said he’d one day get revenge for that mindslaver lock he wasn’t kidding.
IDK if the revenge is complete yet. Maybe after he kills Jimmy a few more times.
Jackson Wald mind was blown when he mentioned that.
Man Jimmy had it coming mindslaver locks are uncool, but also I was really looking forward to seeing Jimmy’s deck do some cool things
When did that happen?
@@BenjaminRosales M20 With Amaz and MTGnerd Girl
Wow, I just realized how big of a flavour win Josh just had at 26:16. The flavour text of Rakdos Signet is
*Made of bone and boiled in blood, a Rakdos Signet is not considered finished until it has been used as a murder weapon*
So what did Josh do? He used the signet as a murder weapon!
Absolutely gigachad
I was gonna ask who voiced Pippa, cuz that battle cry was ON POINT. Turns out (from the credits) that it's the very talented Ashlen Rose! I love it!
Jimmy pronounced it "Peepa" but the dots on dice are called "pips" so Pippa.
"No Mr. Wong, I expect you to die!" is one of the best references Josh has ever made.
And it's ALSO a play on words! ("die" as in dice)
Whats that a reference to?
@@lukeb9507 James Bond
@@lukeb9507 th-cam.com/video/DoQwKe0lggw/w-d-xo.html
Here's the reference
@@lukeb9507 In the James Bond Movie GoldFinger, while strapped onto a interrogation table Bond turns to GoldFinger and asks, “Do you expect me to talk?”, to which Goldfinger replies “No Mister Bond, I expect you to die.” then not killing him.
Can we all appreciate how good Baron Von Count’s animations are?
This is what I was looking for. I'm always blown away by the editing on this show, but that was really next level.
yes
thanos's igauntlet!
Reminds me of when i first saw that elsha animation and was crazy impressed
I actually laughed by my self when they did the whole armwrestle skit just to cast a 3/3 for 3 ape token
Can I just say, the editing this episode was INSANE
Jimmy got blown up with a laser beam XD probably one of my favorite edits just for the absurdity.
Carl says no, you cannot
Josh kills Jimmy on turn 6.
Josh: "All the cards in my deck are kinda bad, they just have numbers on them"
Josh dies to a 3cmc flying 111/112 before his next turn.
Best episode ever
Josh basically got blasted by "Squirrel Girl" (the most OP character in Marvel comics, she's legitimately curb-stomped freaking *THANOS* before.... *BY HERSELF* and not even *DOCTOR DOOM* will even *try* to stop her).
@@gamester512 yeah its like DC's version of bat-mite and mxzylplict (im not sure if I spelled that right). They like taking ridiculous concepts and just turning them into the most op characters in their respective universes
@@gamester512 TBH , Squrriel girl beating Thanos is not canon.
Sounds like a normal game of un-set commander. Jimmy dies to “destroy target player” and Josh dies to a 3-mana 100/100 that at the beginning of combat was a 3/4
Just realised that this game has solved the age long question:
Who would win in a fight? Emrakul or a bunch of squirrels?
Emrakul.
Depends on the size of the squirrel horde!
I'm surprised no one brought that meme to attention
Someone let Commander Quarters know.
But how much prep time do the squirrels get? :P
43:30 When i heard her saying making eldrazi more eldrazi i said to myself "No no no no no no, not Eldrazi Conscription!"
My man Josh was READY for that arm wrestling match.
yeah, 34 ep he has been waiting for this and then....
naaa he probably lost..
He buff.
When jimmy got eliminated it wouldve been cute if the text said 'destroyed' instead of 'knocked out '
True.
5:38 the trees on the island make a squirrel outline
You're actually a genius sir
Every land has a Squirrel somewhere. The swamp has it in the leaves on the mire, and plains is in the clouds.
@@Kydrou the outline of a squirrel is in the tree leaves of the forest
Were you watching this frame by frame to catch that or something
Like that comment so Josh and Jimmy can see
Wow. That's cool!
Olivia putting Side to Side in her deck is the biggest power move there's ever been on this show.
Just keep in mind that entire arm wrestling match thing was for a 3/3
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
dude i think youre late
With flash... In green. Noone would expect it also it is just an uncommon from a draft set. I think it is underwhelming but still kinda dec
But..but..but its an Ape!
It was not even a 3/3 Elk ;p
A 3/3 for 3, the value ! xD
That was the Emrakulest Emrakul I've ever seen. Astonishing.
Also loved the guests, super fun but great gameplay!
she puts "COOL" into Emrakul. lmfao
Jimmy: Jeez your deck has a lot of strange cards you’d never consider putting in a commander deck.
Josh’s Deck: Thought Vessel, Command Tower, Barre Moor, Azors Gateway, and Expedition map.
_ ButterGod lol
Yup. Sounds like Josh. Everyone else is trying to play strange and funny cards... Then there's Josh who wants to win 😂 not even surprised the commander he chose is one that deletes a player from the game 😂
@@indigenousplumb1280 Did you even watch the episode? The game was won with a emrakul with double eldrazi conscription and you're accusing josh's deck of trash cards with numbers on them as try harding for the win?
@@indigenousplumb1280 Tappy played one? More silver boarder then Josh, and she had the most card draw and Mana haha
@@braddorcas9363
Lmfao some people get offended over anything these days. It's not an "accusation" you dramatic twat, it was a joke, calm down.
"I cast Estrid's Invocation.."
My Wife: "...did they just say 'Bastards on Vacation'?"
Yes dear
Around here, we call it Estrogen Vacation
That's a movie title! Hit me up, we'll write it together.
They definitely said bastards on vacation because that is the cards true name, the rest of the world are wrong 🤣
I love the second ability on Pippa specifically says "activate this only when it makes sense" because normally die rolls aren't something you can respond to with activated abilities.
Notably, Pippa is also allowed to reroll her Die creatures on subsequent turns, because she says "reroll any die" but doesn't specify it must be a die that's currently being rolled (and Goblin Bookie from Unglued got that same reminder text eratta'd onto its identical ability, so presumably that can, too)
@@tlblitz42 also quite right! That's a nice catch, lol.
Yeah, when they printed Goblin Bookie in Unglued, they realized it was kind of awkward having an activated ability that you had to use during the resolution of another spell/ability, so this time they decided to address it.
And if you are using a twenty sided die for your life total, you can roll that dice because it makes sense
@@deanm8408 it doesn't, at all. You never roll a d20 to determine your life total. There is no "reroll" happening there.
4:15 Josh's face is like… "oh god, she's using the wrong side of the blade."
? Looks like the right side
You’re supposed to use the flat of the blade while dubbing a knight, not the edge.
ALSO can we all just love Ashlen’s voice for Pippa?
oh hell yeah
I didn't even notice it at first lmao
Oh was that Ashlen's voice? That was great!
"And then I die to a giant spaghetti monster" 49:17 *flaps arms around*
No one:
Absolutely No One:
Not a single soul:
Josh every game knights: "The thing I noticed here is that Jimmy missed his land drop this turn"
😂😂😂
🤣
Sooooo tru
"So you could say I'm scared of Tappy at this point, not of her arm-wrestling..." Oh please Jimmy. We all know you would lose in arm-wrestling against everyone at the table. ;)
Count von Doom goes to 0
Everyone at the table: "I'm in danger"
If only he'd had the mana for that Resonator!
Too bad he didn't destroy the player whom was the more immediate problem.
"Reroll any die (activate this ability only any time it makes sense)" 😂
Dice life XD
1 Bolt for game?
2 Um actually I’m going to tap and pay 2U to reroll a die.
1 What?
2 What?
6:02 - "This can be a 10/10 trample?! How soon is that gonna happen?" - I believe Josh meant to say "This can be a 73/73 trample?!" Go big or go home.
It can actually only be a 28/28 since the card text states only numbers in a ROW count
BlueWerePyre Gaming Mark Rosewater has said before that BINGO counts rows, columns, and diagonals
@@bluewerepyregaming1313 But when playing the game Bingo, you call any numbers in a straight line as being "in a row" whether they are in a row, a column, or a diagonal line.
@@apple2awesome697 I see, I didn't know that was the official ruling, it's good to know for the future thank you 😁
@@bluewerepyregaming1313 it's confusing for sure because it doesn't mean row as in rows and columns, it just means in a row as in succession of one another. It should say "in a straight line" imo.
I fully expected Johnny to play Josh, Combo Player as his commander.
i think you switched the names there...
When Jimmy revealed that his commander is Pippa, my reaction was: ¿With your luck? ¿Are you sure?
Ah yes, I love it when I am so confused I become Spanish.
SAME
Those two ladies are excellent magic players! And very entertaining! This might be my favorite episode of all time! Thank you so much everyone involved!
game knights always has excellent editing, but even by those standards this video's a winner
Josh should have said: "As luck would have it, I choose Jimmy."
Awesome episode! Not gonna lie would love to see more extra turns of these kinda decks! Especially jimmys we didn’t get to see it all!
totally agree
I died at Olivia's reaction to Jimmy dying at 27:25
"suddenly josh becomes a problem".....well what a surprise😂
and the best part is that this time he wasnt. He had 1 card in hand.
As always, JLK became the archenemy. It just always happens. He's just that good I guess??
@@Syngraphaeor I think he just cares more about winning than anyone else.
That has to be my favourite Game Knights ever! Tappy and Olivia were amazing, the un-cards made for some unique play patterns, and the editing and cinematography is spectacular!
Jimmy should have said “Things are gonna get DICEY”
I thought this was a comment I made for a second
@@OTheVariousKing Why do you comment on yourself?
@@beperktamentus5065 lol
I was so hyped when in the teaser Jimmy yelled "What!? NOOOOOOOOO!!!", it was absolutely worth it, props to Josh for making the coolest play in a game where silver border cards are allowed.
I wonder how Emrakul managed to lose himself in such a tiny maze 😂
Herself, and ponder not the inner machinations of the mind of an eldrazi titan
@@soren1803 oh yeah I forgot Emrakul was a female... hope she doesn't try to destroy me for this 😅
Emrakul is beyond your puny mortal notions of gender, but ... yeah, since the Kor deity Emeria is female, and based on legends of Emrakul, people usually say "she" for the tentacle monster.
The maze is the moon.
She didn't get lost, she just enjoys doing mazes. So when given the opportunity, she wasn't going to pass it up.
Tappy: Has best board state and a value engine.
JLK: "... Mindslaver", kills Jimmy
Tappy: Sets up JLK to die before his next turn.
JLK: Surprised Pikachu
TappyToeClaws during game:
Is not threatening enough which makes Josh destroy Jimmy
Disables his air defence and makes Olivia kill Josh for her
Lures Olivia to to limit them both to one spell per turn then forces her to fight giant macarone monster.
I smell hitmen vibes from this game.
Not to mention Olivia was the only one who should've taken the death sentence, she had the best answer to face josh
You NEED to invite Spice 8 Rack
Please no
Please yes
yasss
Please yes
Please yes
There was probably some kind of line when Tappy took Olivia’s turn where Tappy kills Mine, Mine, Mine! and then casts a draw spell with the trigger on the stack
27:18 As Palpatine once said. “There is no mercy”
Rakdos Signet is complete
Jimmy's fate was more brutal than Maul's
There is only the Senate
Olivia: Casts side to side
Cassius: So you have chosen
S H I N D E I R U
make more silver-bordered episodes! this was great!
36:56 Ah yes, Vegeta's favorite card!
Josh destroying Jimmy was definitely a courtesy decision. Poor Jimmy. :D
You ever been mindslaver locked?
@@makyx4303 i did, and i still waiting to avenge myself...
"I'm not sure if you ever tried it before, but it's really hard to pick up your whole deck."
*Laughs in blue artificer deck main.*
100 cards is still 100 cards right?
@@AwakeDirector depends on how much you sleeve them 😀
"Squirrel" was said by opponents 52 times (by my count) making Keeper of the Sacred Word a 159/160
They probably didn't count Jimmy.
But Jimmy had been killed and thus, by rules of the game, wasn't there. He was no longer an opponent, so his "squirrel"s didn't count technically
@@iqcool That's exactly what I mean? 'They' is referring to the editors since they counted fewer squirrels than OP.
+1 fire damage!
30:02 josh also said squirrel, keeper should’ve been a 9/10
Yes indeed
I died when the 3/3 ape came on board lmfaoooo
27:54
“Suddenly Josh has become a problem”
When is he not? Forget threat detection, Josh is the threat in these games.
Josh, Jimmy, and Olivia in the thumbnail: completely normal Commander players
TappyToeClaws:
RAWR!!! CLAWS!

@@solarshade4407 ...Clever girl...
Every time Jimmy says "pee-pa" I die a little inside.
Why is Jimmy calling her "Peepa" when her name is specifically "PIPpa" as in the PIPS on the dice
People on this show notoriously cannot pronounce words properly
7upac Like solemn simulacrum
@@cringebutyee1326 Have you heard them pronounce Menace
Glen Be meeenace
It was driving me crazy
I have a ~50 planeswalker superfriends deck with Urza, Academy Headmaster as the casual commander.
I have been camping on your Channel just for this moment
very epic of you luigi
When Tappy controlled Olivia's turn she just had to destroy "Mine! Mine! Mine!" with her 1 spell, all cards in hand and gy would be moved to the library, so it would be Olivia's turn with no cards in hand vs herself with no cards in hand but with Emrakul still on the board she should win that.
Good point! I’m glad she didn’t though, much more entertaining
Josh didn’t even care about this game. He just wanted revenge for that mindslaver lock 😂🤣
"Suddenly Josh has become a problem" - well, what do you know!
I honestly wanted to see Jimmy's deck do more (as often, since I really like his ideas), but it was still wacky and fresh. Hands down one of the best GK episodes, it may motivate me and my friends to brew our own un-commanders :)
I want to build jimmy’s commander honestly. Loved the art and the concept
I just went on Scryfall and searched up all the cards that roll D20’s. Component Pouch and Vexing Puzzlebox seem like some of the best for Jimmy’s deck since they can do so just for tapping.
I love watching Game Knights. It lets me look at awesome products for MTG! Thank you everyone at the Command Zone and Game Knights.
I think this is the video made me fully love Olivia. She will forever be my favorite guest.
This arm wrestling bit in the middle is the best thing I have ever seen on Game Knights.
Words can hurt you, especially "squirrel"
Great episode, plus Olivia scares me lmao, I wanted to see her and Josh arm wrestle
especially if josh isnt a lefty
Josh likely wins pretty easily. The fairest matchup is her and Jimmy, because Jimmy has the advantage of being a dude but he's kinda scrawny, THAT I'd like to see
Right? I'd lose to her a hundred times lol
I wish this was a weekly show! Can’t get enough of it!
The best unsanctioned game I've ever seen till now
that's probably because it's not released yet :D
@@LAmanafull6246 thats the joke
I don’t think that play tappy did when she used mystic veil would have worked. The card text says it was used as an instant, and Emrakul can be the target of instants. Read your cards
The card doesn't change into a instant when it is casted as instant speed. Because the card in question is a enchantment that gains flash, it still a enchantment and not a instant.
Not sure you can say "gotcha" when you are under the effects of Emrakul/Mindslaver, but oh well.
I was about to say that as well. It's definitely a player choice, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't work.
Yeah, that's definitely a "may" trigger that only Tappy could make choices for at the time.
Yeah, that really ticked me off
Also, can mystic veil target Emrakul? She casted it as an instant...
@@deadshot4121 Casting something at instant speed (now using the text "as though it had flash") and casting an actual spell of the Instant type are different things.
When you can't trust your arms, triple an eldritch horror's tentacles
I really hope to see Mitch come back and play with budget decks in the future!
Has he been on game knights yet?
@@Timby_ no
Ahh yes the one thing that can stop the squirrel army: a giant spaggetti monster that bombs the field every turn
Someone plays a basicland. And the whole table goes: WoW! Nice!
Its the art of the basic land
I don't think Olivia should have been able to say Gotcha and get back her card while she was being controlled by another player...
That was more of watching an enchantment deck win against 3 undecks...
With Eldrazi 🤣
30:48 “That one creature type which shall not be named”
Y'all, the graphics in this episode are incredible!!!! Gameplay was great! I didn't realize that there was a new Un-set coming out! My husband and I are now budgeting to figure out how to play it!
Thanks for the awesome content!
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Jimmy: "This is very scary."
rip, jimmy's deck was the one i was most excited to see go off
Ethan Rasmussen Same!
Tappy is too pure and wholesome for this cold broken world !!
I was just rewatching an old episode and the notification comes out😂
I'd LOVE to see a Game Knights episode with Olivia, Tappy, Ashlen & LadeeDanger.....who's with me?
That would be a Game Knights Duel of the Damsels. Can’t wait to see that episode.
have to go to work in about 4 minutes, looks like im listening to this while I work today.
I love when Olivia is part of GameKnights!!!
Yes host aug ive played that in commander before
Best moment for me "I love infinity infinity's everywhere on my board"
aug is a very legit mechanic that I wouldn't mind seeing on "real" cards
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate them using the O.G. King Ghidorah roar whenever they highlighted Surgeon Commander?
15:59 I’m crying. I’m legit CRYING 😭
The way Jimmy pronounces Pippa kills me. At least Josh says it right 😂🤣😭
Omg this was freaking hilarious. Great job guys
One of the best episodes so far! Entertaining and colourful, and everyone was so cheerful
That was more of watching an Enchantment deck win against 3 Undecks...
Another option for Jimmy's phrase before starting the game could've been "okay, let's roll"
Did Olivia really not have ANY board wipes in her entire deck?? lol. She should have gotten rid of the Emrakul so fast.
Edit: Just checked her list, and she is, in fact, running ZERO boardwipes! She needs a deck doctor stat! lol
Keith Keller she is running a maybe 3/3 for 3. She likes fun. I don’t think she built it thinking it was top tier but yeah having answers is good.
@@jakeapplegate6642 But none though? Doesn't make sense. Building competent decks engenders fun imo.
Keith Keller To be fair, in building a commander deck, building competent deck engenders fun. However, when a youtube channel invites you to live out a chance to play EDH for entertainment purposes, building competent decks are only number 3 in priority. But hey, each to their own as long as we all topdeck what we need in life ❤️
Keith Keller she did have decent single target removal. Some of which was easily repeatable in most cases with attrition and the one that was stuck in her hand because emrakul.
@@fluffyrinsu4879 What are the other 2 priorities then? lol. (Asking honestly.)
Notice how Jimmy and Josh were relieved they didn't have to face Olivia's guns.
