Should've had him on the Core Set pre-prerelease. 1) It was LRR only. 2) IT'S LITERALLY DESIGNED FOR NEW PLAYERS! Can someone from LRR possibly comment on if he was invited but turned it down, or did the idea slip your mind entirely? Perhaps next year, along with some other newish players you know IRL, like your families or non-LRR reallife friends? Even if they all lose handily again the regulars, it'd definitely be a nice quirky PPR in-fitting with the Core Set reason-for-existence itself!
@@HEXP1XEL True. I was thinking maybe pair a regular with a newbie, to sit beside them both during deckbuilding to offer both help and as an easy go-to for entertainment. Or maybe get regular streamers (instead of friends and family) who just don't play Magic itself, so they're at least used to multitasking to a camera. Maybe both (as in non-Magic streamers, plus pair them with a regular)! That'd solve the problem somewhat!
First: Farewell to Kings. Noice. Second: Beej's Magic experience is so amazingly happy and that's fantastic. Everyone, let's please try to not ruin him on this.
Beej’s first draft was one of the most complicated drafts in recent memory, a draft format that would probably have 2010 me cursing it like I do Rise of the Eldrazi, & Beej not only drafted an archetype nearly perfectly, but 3-0’d it also?! Is Beej really just Mr. Anderson from the Matrix? :)
1. I love LRR/Graham blogs about vacations/MagicFests as it satisfies my wanderlust, if only slightly. 2. "It wouldn't be a trip to Seattle without a coffee adventure." More like "Wouldn't be a video with Serge without coffee." 3. Dana is a Slivers player? Even the most adorable people have a mischievous side. 4. "It's Commander, and I don't care." Well said, Graham. It's a casual format, don't make it competitive. 5. Beej spouting off about his draft like a season veteran makes me feel awful that I'm garbage in Limited formats.
Thanks for the phrase "satisfies my wanderlust" - I realized that these vlogs do the same for me. I enjoy traveling, and I don't get to do it as often as I'd like, so in the meantime I can live vicariously through these travel vlogs. (Though now I want to take a long-distance train trip in a sleeper car, thanks to Graham & Beej's adventure.)
the editing on this was superb... loving all the little editor jokes in the "subtitles" and the Graham Buffering joke made me fall out of my chair laughing :)
I so love each and every person of let. They make me wanna go to an event just to meet them and just chat about life. Such genuine human beings that truly love each other. I adore you all
I always find it hilarious that you guys go to the effort of "pre-entering" a room, setting up your camera, then leaving the room, just so you can film yourself entering the room from an inside perspective!
Love that Beej drafted a snow deck. My first-pick at the prerelease draft was Crashing Footfalls (which I never got to cast), and I ended up running like 8 snow lands (even split between forests and islands) and 10 other snow permanents, with a swamp and a mountain left in the sideboard. Went 3-0 and had sooooo much fun! Have to make sure I can do a proper "phantom" draft with my booster box soon.
I think having it registered in Cyprus has something to do with tax shenanigans or the company that owns the ship is headquartered there, which may be a redundant case.
It could also be to avoid some of the safety/environmental regulations or bureaucracy that registering it in Canada or the US would require. But probably tax reasons.
Wow after seeing this, I’m so glad I had a buddy pick up a Magic Fest exclusive mat for me. Although seeing Serge signing one in the background makes me sad he didn’t think to ask to have it signed.

@5:30 that's called a Flag of Convenience, almost every big commercial boat is registered in one of a few countries, like Cyprus, for tax reasons. It may also help some cruise ships get around those pesky labor laws.
A lot of boats are registered in certain countries for tax and legislation reasons. Most countries don't allow foreign flagged ships to run internal routes, which is why you're not likely to see it on a Canada-Canada route, but on an international route, the boat can be registered anywhere. Cyprus is one of the many countries used for this. Interestingly a lot of cruise ships are registered in Bermuda, which caused controversy when they brought in legislation to override the legalisation of gay marriage introduced in the UK, meaning gay weddings could not take place on most cruise ships.
3:41, hah! editor got me to laugh XD, thanks Graham, or Heather, or... y'know what I'll get back and edit this when I see who edited in the credits.... 10:50! Math is for blockers! and probably for buyers! don't make sales Adam do maths! ;P!

LRR must find quite a few valuable cards in gift packs and in draft/sealed events that the company paid for. Are those cards sold off? Or do you save them for ultra-exclusive weekend Vintage games with your most generous donors? ;-)
Seattle economics are weird. There's a really bad housing crisis there, so everything is super inflated as a result. Totally normal to pay $10 - $12 for a Subway footlong there nowadays.
[Beej drafts]
[Cut to: all magic playing LRRfolk]
_One of Us! One of Us!_
All I take from this is that Beej is evolving into a Magic player, the beginning of the end is NIGH!

@@andrewsparkes8829 New players dont stream well, magic is a hard game and even some veterans find it hard to be entertaning and play well

This aged poorly
I felt a chill go down my spine at the concept of "Dimir Beej."
First: Farewell to Kings. Noice.
Second: Beej's Magic experience is so amazingly happy and that's fantastic. Everyone, let's please try to not ruin him on this.
Chef kiss and golf clap to Matt for the wonderful editor's comments.
"Allergic to mornings" is a really great description. I might use it in the future
I have a Snoopy shirt with those words on. The full quote is, "I think I'm allergic to mornings." It describes me all too well.
Beej’s first draft was one of the most complicated drafts in recent memory, a draft format that would probably have 2010 me cursing it like I do Rise of the Eldrazi, & Beej not only drafted an archetype nearly perfectly, but 3-0’d it also?!
Is Beej really just Mr. Anderson from the Matrix? :)
How do you know he 3-0'd? Twitter? Because his record wasn't mentioned in camera. The most Beej said was he killed it.
I wish I loved anything as much as Serge loves coffee.
1. I love LRR/Graham blogs about vacations/MagicFests as it satisfies my wanderlust, if only slightly.
2. "It wouldn't be a trip to Seattle without a coffee adventure." More like "Wouldn't be a video with Serge without coffee."

Nice editing Matt and Graham.
THIS WAS THE BEST EDITING!!! So funny.
Who edited this!? Praise you. This was fun and engaging as hell. More pls 😚😚❤️
Love you dudes

whoever on the team edited this did a fantastic job.
It was Matt!

Woah Beej plays magic? Who knew?!?
the rhythm of the song matching with Beej's walking in the beginning was really pleasing to me. well edited.
Seeing Adam grab Serge by the nuts was not what I expected to see this video.
I'm a Seattle person and I always love seeing the vlogs from there. I always learn about new places, didn't know there was a vinyl bar how cool.
Beej yelling he is dimir has made my morning complete
MOAR MATT EDITING!
Seriously, I'm loving it

I absolutely love these vlogs. Wish there were more uploaded - even just to enjoy their day to day
Reminds me of a choir tour I took to Victoria. We stayed around the Empress on the day we were there and sang on the steps of the capitol building.
Glad Beej had a good time in his first draft!
I cant wait for this kind of stuff again !

I had a blast at MF Seattle and it was amazing meeting all of you guys there keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for all the fun and laughs always!
Editing on this one reminds me of "It's Alive". I can dig it!
Beej's transformation has begun
BEEJ DID A MAGIC?!?! Real Beejlander needs to happen now!
I like when the subtitles come to correct, comment on, mock and generally contradict the speakers. Reminds me of Zero Punctuation. I wonder how far you could go in that direction. . .
Really awesome, win all your games LRR!
Hood to see Beej learning magic. Now he needs to play on a Friday Night Card fightr

Holy Moly that Gibb playmat!
"which many people have trouble following these simple instruction" welcome to the thunderdome.
I just burped at the same time as the "loving belch" subtitle and i'm living the weirdest life
I have been on the vomit comet before. Fun times during high seas.
WHEN IS PART 2 COMING OUT?!?!?
Good job on your draft Beej
Fantastic beej more magics
Adam and Incineroar seems like a really good pair!
7:51 for all you car guys out their ❤
You can trust Serge to finally find the coffee.
the cyprus thing is probably a flag of convenience, usually it is related to tax/finance/safety inspections and stuff like that
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_convenience
24:20 where are you that the ticker sign reads "Killing is unavoidable but nothing to be proud of"?
Saw that too XD
Serge, reading the card explains the card.
Aw man, you're telling me that we missed Beej playing Magic for the first time? Dang.
Woah woah woah, Beej is playing Magic now?!
Beej played Magic? Holy shit!
So then are the PAX East vlogs going to be here or on Graham's channel? Love vlogs. :D

Please bring the Playmat back!! I had to miss the event for work, and the first thing I thought when I saw the mat was, "Damn I need that."
Go to a tech conference there once a year and it's interesting to see what they do with the space for other events
The JoJo pose playmat tho, its so epic
Laws at sea are based on the country of registration, so many companies register to countries with less strict labor and safety laws for extra profit.
-Sanctuary- so not the sea hag and the council of whales?
19:38 Was that a Dix and Theoceanwhosubbed cameo?
BEEJ DID A MAGIC!? YAY BEEJ!
Serge just made me check the expiration date on my passport. 6 years, no worries.
3:26 I learned something new today
Different music from normal which felt odd, but in a good way. Matt's editing influence?
$#$&%$! They have contaminated Beej! Is this where he turns into Meej and start time traveling??
"It's amazing how different they make the space look, eh?" Totally not a Canadian thing.
Yeah! Man of Mystery Chris got introduced! No, i don't know who Chris is. That's why he's a Man of Mystery!
Oh fuck I think I need to renew my passport
e: Nope, four more years
A US ferry company would NEVER offer motion sickness tablets, thats amazing
Level 5 Super Judge Beej!
Wheres the channel dedicated to beejs shoe shots... Graham gets one. Beejs needs one too
delicious delicious content
Sad my like took it off 420. But also, amazing editing work on this one.
Serge is SO FUCKING NICE
8:41 .... whats with this trip to the realm of souls?

I think they sell most of them, unless someone calls dibs for a deck they're planning/building. If anyone knows otherwise though, please correct me.
try hop and drops if you come by one we make great food and drinks.
So beej is in the next highlander battle by proxy?
I almost didn't recognize Fugi with the long hair and what not.
We are going to party like .....
Beej on Friday Night Paper fight incoming?
Beej did a magic?
Will you be at gp Vegas?
Aw yiss Loading Time
I want beej to get into edh! I think he’d make a great phelddagrif player lol

$14 CAD for a tuna sub? Beej, what the hell? I know CAD is higher than USD, but the Subway around me sells them for $7 USD.
Seattle economics are weird. There's a really bad housing crisis there, so everything is super inflated as a result. Totally normal to pay $10 - $12 for a Subway footlong there nowadays.

beej joining friday night paper fight confirmed?
@Graham: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_convenience
Beej play magic?
What is this Jr chicken you speak of?
Might be the Canadian name for it? It's like a McChicken with just the chicken, lettuce and sauce but it's generally much cheaper.
