Eh... He forced Ladee Danger to declare who she was targeting to lose life from that creature's ETB, and then responded to it as if it was on the stack, but Ladee wouldn't have given up that information until it was already on the field. To prompt that knowledge is to accept that it's resolving normally for the trigger to go on the stack. Now I think he probably just wasn't thinking that hard about it, but it seems a slimy play to me if he was conscious of it.
Damen! Tough game for threat assessment! While Damen was absolutely churning through his deck, in reality he was spinning his wheels in the face of Jimmy's overwhelming board presence, goad, and noncombat damage triggers. Drawing cards is scary, but imminent death is scarier!
I mean Damen was also generating a token army of 2/2 flyers, and surely he was going to hit a big pump spell/akroma's will amongst the million cards he drew
i was a little confused how easily the pod was distracted away from massive dragon board state because of a thin spirit shield and cards. That goading dragon did SO much to disrupt and destroy their boards!
@@skruffytiger2002Firkraag is my favorite magic card. I don’t know what it is but people SUPER underestimate his potential. Also sorry this is gonna be a little long haha. But Firkraag is constantly goading so he is protecting your life total while bringing down theirs. And if the goaded creatures hit, Firkraag gets you some card draw and he gets bigger, but if they block they are usually trading or chumping so you’re also taking threats off the board. I really don’t know what it is because yes he’s only a 3/3 at base but he gets out of hand quickly. My deck actually functions very similarly to Jimmy’s with a lot of focus on indirect dragon damage and it’s super fun. Maybe I’m biased but Jimmy probably felt comfortable never casting Sarkhon again because he basically had a second commander on the board the entire game controlling the board.
Love Damen's deck, I have one pretty similar but looks great when it gets to work well. Only issue I had was Mystic Reflection only works if you do it in response to cast of Shaman of the Pack, not targets being chosen.
@@irishrunner27 I was thinking the same and rewatch the sequence, technically Damen asks Ladee where she will be sending the damage when the Shaman would etb whit it still on the stack, she was under no obligation to choose a tharget at that time but siad she was gonna target him so he used Mystic reflection while Shaman was on the stack, not the etb trigger (it's still a bit weird timing wise but in that way can make sense)
This is technically correct, but in casual multiplayer games it’s very common to ask “if that resolved, would it be targeted at me?” You don’t have to respond but if you don’t, it’s like saying yes.
To be clear, technically speaking, Ladee doesn't have to say where the damage is going until AFTER the shaman has already resolved and entered the battlefield, meaning, if she's pointing damage, it's already too late to use mystic reflection in response as the spell is no longer on the stack. So she should have just not said where it was going until he lets it resolve. By telling him where she was planning to put the damage while it was still on the stack she gave him an opportunity he would have otherwise not had. He could have used it anyway even if she didn't say anything, sure, but he would have had to do so with less gauranteed information.
Thank you for pointing this out. To my understanding she legally declared the target, so it must've entered the battlefield already. I'd have argued that Damen couldn't have reacted to it anymore with his spell. But since neither Ladee nor Damen clearly declared whether the creature spell was still on the stack or not, and all participants accepted Damen's use of Reflection, I suppose it comes down to the table ruling it that way. But it immediately felt wrong to me, so I am glad somebody else spotted this!
@@Nerdality_Florian its important to note he asked before she did or said anything. She declares that she plays it and puts it on the table and the first thing that happens after that is Damen asking her where its going. So to say he was to late isn't correct, he literally could not have done it earlier. But he should have been more clear that he was asking before it resolved and said something like "with that on the stack I have a question". Either way doesn't really matter. He would have cast it if she didn't answer.
@@helderboymh We can't know what he would've done. And you are correct, I wished he said "before the creature resolves" or "with creature spell that on the stack..." but instead asked for a target, and then even said "I am going to respond to that" as if in response to a legal target declaration. It's very muddy and highlights to me the importance of clear language. More crucially, we gotta remember that Ladee couldn't have known what he wants to respond to, while he - as owner of the spell - did. So I see the fault with him and his language. Fortunately it seems we have more of an issue with that, than the playgroup, lol.
@@Nerdality_Florian we can know what he would have done since she just attacked him and now has enough to kill him with the elf, come on he aint stupid. Especially cus it's in ladee's interest to say ita not going at him if thats what she's gonna do. He wasn't asking to find out, he was asking as an introduction to negotiate. He is the blame for the situation being handled wrong. That's why I said "he should" not "he could".
It’s kinda funny how Extra Turns is the “side hustle” of Command Zone, but it’s still got more effort and editing out into it than most other commander shows. Not dissing other channels, just praising Command Zone
I’ve been waiting for Damen to pop up on one of these! I’ve always enjoyed his upgrades and input on precons, so it’s nice to finally see a deck of his in action!
The exile spirit deck was very impressive. And very nice spider fog 😊.... And Rachel's deck idea is pretty cool too, now I am putting that ape snake in my Sivriss deck 😁
Awesome! I just made a Sarkhan, Soul Aflame deck myself! Very cool game all around and one of the first times I've felt like building something very controlly in Damen's Ranar.
Comment with spoilers about the match!: Absolutely amazed by Jimmys turn starting at 39:16. At that point I was 99,5% sure that Damen would win, that the whole match was pretty one sided. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Jimmy takes him out, while having two terrors of the peaks removed in the process? Unbelievable! I was wondering why, last turn Jimmy didn't attack the battle, and now it makes sense. He could have flipped it over one turn before, but by not doing that, he protected it one turn cycle. By the way, if any of the crew ever reads this post... Im really curious... What did Rachel tutor? Was the skullclamp? We know she loves skullclamp, and that she might have tutored it. Id love to know what card it was! Really fun game, loved it. Congratz to everyone involved.
Really loved seeing Ranar and I was rooting for the deck as soon as I saw him! Love shenanigan decks and it was nice seeing something different. Really makes me want to deep dive my Ranar deck and re-evaluate with all of the newer sets.
I think this is the first time I've seen Ranar played in the wild, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for showing off my favorite commander. I absolutely adore his exile+make token nonsense.
It's not anything rule breaking, but I would like to share some tidbit of information about gameplay regarding Fabled Passage. A lot of people just kind of understand that it has the clause of "if you have 4 or more lands when the fetched land enters, it enters untapped". But that's not exactly how the rules text reads. When you fetch for a basic with Fabled Passage, that land does enter the battlefield tapped, THEN is untapped for you having 4 or more lands on the battlefield at that time. If you have anything that triggers when a tapped land enters the battlefield, such as an Amulet of Vigor or Tiller Engine, those cards see the tapped land enter and you can respond to their ability on the stack by tapping the land for mana. Again, doesn't affect the gameplay here since Damen doesn't have those pieces. The more you know.
For people in the comments who didn't understand the Shaman of the Pack interaction, Damen tried to strike a deal with Ladee, with Shaman still on the stack: he lets it resolve unhindered, on the condition that the ETB isn't aimed at him. She refused, so he cast Mystic Reflection before the Shaman resolved.
Technically asking where the damage is going can be seen as passing priority on spell being cast and jumping to etb effect. (Obviously that's the rules sharking) ladee should have asked him if he's letting it resolve or just not answer him But at the end of the day they're just playing to have fun and be entertaining
Was just thinking I haven't seen Ladee Danger in a commander game for a bit. Then, all of a sudden, this video shows up in my feed. Made for a good start to my weekend.
3:22 It's SO crazy that (almost) every time I see Ladee Danger play a commander game here, she's playing a commander deck similar to mine, or a commander deck that "speaks" to my play style (different commander, sometimes the same commander, slightly different build, same color and theme). Biased opinion (and before the game starts), rooting for Ladee Danger for the win. (You had me at Black/Green and "Elf.") 😄 48:33 NNNOOOOOO!!!!! I felt the pain too. 😭 49:27 NNNOOOOO!!!!! You'll get them next time Ladee Danger. 😭
When I started to watch the match and saw that Jimmy's commander is Sarkhan, Soul Aflame, I was really surprised, because Sarkhan was my commander of choice (and also the only legendary creature with commander potential that I own). I just played my first commander games two weeks ago, and I lost miserably in all of them. Seeing Jimmy own the match with this deck just gave me more inspiration and ideas, that I will surely pursue to achieve! So, thanks Jimmy!
Rachel, your hair looks great in the episode 🙌🔥 lol This was an exciting episode. Happy to aee Ladee back and Damen came out swinging! Congrats on the W, Jimmy
Jimmy only needed to reveal 2 dragons instead of 3 in his hand to kill Damien’s commander. But as a dragon player, I too like to show off all my dragons in my hand when given the opportunity.
Nope. Damen asked where it was going while it was on the stack. You can tell because after the Mystic reflection resolves, Ladee resolved the cast trigger from Beast Whisperer.
so happy to see Damen in a gameplay video. also playing Ranar! that was my first precon deck EDIT: wow City of Shadows is such a cool inclusion for Ranar
for engagement purposes: damon said that the fabled passage led to his land entering the battlefield untapped, but that is not quite correct. it enters tapped; fabled passage’s effect then untaps it
I liked this game. Ranar is a fun and underrated commander that can really pop off, and Sarkhan is a commander I’ve been interested in seeing played for a while now. Really interesting dragon tribal deck.
I’d love to see y’all play some cEDH one day. It would be awesome to see the GK crew explore the format, and show us some complex/high level combos & plays.
38:28 Wouldn't [mystic reflection] have to be played while [shaman of the pack] was a spell on the stack? Because once shaman ETBs, the ETB trigger goes on the stack with a target, and theres no longer a creature entering for mystic reflection to affect. Seems like you'd have to play mystic reflection before you knew the target of shaman, as opposed to shaman entering and you being able to react with an unfair knowledge advantage from an ETB trigger, while reflection only applies prior to shaman entering, not after. Help me out.
So he did a sort of meta play which is allowed. He asked, out of the gameplay, what she was "going to choose." She stated she WILL choose him which she did not have to give out that kind of information. It's not really a type of play I like to do but it's sort of intricate politics play when you stop the game and ask for someone's opinion before something resolves. It's technically allowed.
@@pinkstarburst99 Watching it play out, it really doesn't feel like how it happened. Maybe the game was just too casual for them to care about I suppose.
@@Bedni87 yep, they made a rulling on the card to make sure it's clear how that works. 25/09/2020 If there's no exiled card when Skyclave Apparition leaves the battlefield (most likely because its first ability hasn't resolved yet), no player creates a token.
Love your shows! Good to have Ladee Danger back and Damen was great. I think Damen may have missed a Skyclave Apparation trigger to create an illusion for Jimmy when he blinked it.
Actually, no. Apparition exiled Jimmy's commander, and because it returned to the command zone immediately afterwards, there was no longer an exiled card for the second ability, so no token was created.
So I pulled up this video while streaming on discord, and one of my friends asked while looking at a freezeframe "Hey is that Zac Efron?" Pointing at Damen
I am so proud of Jimmy for having enough lands to be able to discard two of them!
Yeah! Those in the know, know how significant this is :P
He didn't have enough to discard two, because he immediately missed a land drop the next turn after drawing from kinship multiple times.
Yeah…we all know jimmy doesn’t have to enough lands to discard them.
He's on a arc. He's not perfect but he's trying.
Unlike when he discarded some with faithless looting and proceed to have no land drop on the next turn…
Rachel whispering "hey beast" is my favorite part of the entire episode 😂
I didn't need any more reasons to love her.
43:45@@nerdlabmtg
Rachel is hilarious
Damen's great! I hope to see a lot more of him!
Eh...

Damen's Deck and playstyle was awesome! also I always love games with Ladee+Rachel. Nice win Jimmy.
That Ranar deck was spicy. So many great lines and so much value. Really fun to watch.
OH MY GOD RANAR!! He is my first ever commander and precon I got to get into playing Magic. So surprised to see him be played finally
Ranar enjoyers eating good today. I’m absolutely loving Damen’s build
@@caseyfurey1348 shame he and everyone else got destroyed by dragons
I did my best to handle the dragon threat, but alas, twas not enough @@Blu_Moon_Owl
I love Ranar too and I never realized how good Kindred Discovery could be in that deck!
Oh yea card is crazy in Ranar, turning all of your removal/blink into cantrips@@madscientist2621
Great debut for Damen! He really showed the power of leaning into your commander's triggered ability and how awesome Kindred Discovery is.
Kindred Discovery MVP
He also showcased why everyone hates Azorius Blink decks xD
now I want to build that Ranar deck. Strong first game on camera Damen!
Ranar is one of my favorites. Slippery and frustrating for players. Value engine.
I'm obsessed with this deck, I hope you enjoy it too!
Samesies 😬
Never thought I'd see Force of Will in a causal game...
Goes infinite easily. Some people hate it but it requires a few peices so I think it's fair
the first time Ladee played abomination of llanowar was what made me build an elfball deck, it's really fun to see her and this iconic card again!
Damen!
Tough game for threat assessment! While Damen was absolutely churning through his deck, in reality he was spinning his wheels in the face of Jimmy's overwhelming board presence, goad, and noncombat damage triggers. Drawing cards is scary, but imminent death is scarier!
I did what I could... but what can men to do against such reckless hate?
I know…I was so annoyed watching Ladee and Rachel try to harm Damen’s board while just letting Jimmy build up.
I mean Damen was also generating a token army of 2/2 flyers, and surely he was going to hit a big pump spell/akroma's will amongst the million cards he drew

Holy fuuu, that combo of Spirits with Card Draw and constant exiling is scary...
Great showing for Damen. well done.

Force of Will triggering Ranar is not something I'd ever thought of. Neat interaction!
I still miss when the extra turns overlay had the life totals
Jimmy was wreaking havoc this entire game with his dragons. You love to see it.
I love to see Jimmy going off! As opposed to missing land drops ..
Those ads in the middle were probably some of my fav edits ever😂😂 “kawaii” 27:31 “excited jimmy” 25:33

I still have the commander deck that had Damen's commander, still gotta upgrade it a bunch
The fx for momentary blink was sooo good. Shout out to the editors
Damen's Deck seems so fun
Wait, Damen is actually sick with it. I'd written Ranar off but mans was cooking.
What's scarier: Giant, flying, fire-breathing lizards or ghosts with incredible card advantage?
Ghosts are notoriously spooky
Love Rachels retro frame focused deck ... after over 20 years still the superior look on mtg cards.
Rachel, your hair looks great in the episode 🙌🔥 lol
This was an exciting episode. Happy to aee Ladee back and Damen came out swinging! Congrats on the W, Jimmy
I love terror of the peaks, my favorite card!!
Watching Ladee playing commander is always a treat.❤
Jimmy only needed to reveal 2 dragons instead of 3 in his hand to kill Damien’s commander. But as a dragon player, I too like to show off all my dragons in my hand when given the opportunity.
How did Shaman of the Pack get transformed by Mystic Reflection? She targeted Damen which means it was already on the battlefield.
Nope. Damen asked where it was going while it was on the stack. You can tell because after the Mystic reflection resolves, Ladee resolved the cast trigger from Beast Whisperer.
so happy to see Damen in a gameplay video. also playing Ranar! that was my first precon deck
EDIT: wow City of Shadows is such a cool inclusion for Ranar
And what a sick precon deck that was!
Man that Ranar deck further solidifies my hatred towards UW/flicker decks. So hard to deal with lol fun to watch though from the outside
First Shuffle Up and play, and now Extra Turns. Today's been awesome.
I just love the new retro animations and sound effects. They’re so good.
always love seeing danger play
I love the video game theme you guys put on this series don't know why but it definitely works
Was so good to see Ladee back at the table! I miss her so much
Looks like these decks made the Damon Difference
for engagement purposes: damon said that the fabled passage led to his land entering the battlefield untapped, but that is not quite correct. it enters tapped; fabled passage’s effect then untaps it
That Bitterblossom playmat is gorgeous!!
Another Extra Turns with classic commanders would be great!
More extra turns!!!
I liked this game. Ranar is a fun and underrated commander that can really pop off, and Sarkhan is a commander I’ve been interested in seeing played for a while now. Really interesting dragon tribal deck.
I’m so happy Ladee Danger is back 💚🖤 she’s my absolute favorite game-knight !! GO LADEE DANGER GO !!

Wouldn't [mystic reflection] have to be played while [shaman of the pack] was a spell on the stack?
Because once shaman ETBs, the ETB trigger goes on the stack with a target, and theres no longer a creature entering for mystic reflection to affect. Seems like you'd have to play mystic reflection before you knew the target of shaman, as opposed to shaman entering and you being able to react with an unfair knowledge advantage from an ETB trigger, while reflection only applies prior to shaman entering, not after.
Help me out.
Just came to the comments looking for this. I think it's definitely a misplay.
So he did a sort of meta play which is allowed. He asked, out of the gameplay, what she was "going to choose." She stated she WILL choose him which she did not have to give out that kind of information.
It's not really a type of play I like to do but it's sort of intricate politics play when you stop the game and ask for someone's opinion before something resolves. It's technically allowed.
@@pinkstarburst99 Watching it play out, it really doesn't feel like how it happened. Maybe the game was just too casual for them to care about I suppose.
@@pinkstarburst99 makes sense. Seems like a casual ask that was ambiguous enough to leave shaman a spell and able to be responded to.
Damien was quite spirited in his return!
Yeah. To bad he gave up the ghost so soon.
Dude, Rachel's decks NEVER miss!
Love the Miscuts T shirt lol
Oh man, excited to see Jimmy play Sarkhan. I feel he's underrated compared to the the other dragon commanders, but he's a lot of fun to play!
I think this was Jimmy's best game for the show honestly. He wasn't mana screwed or flooded it seems and was just actually in the game .
Dang, that was a solid game. Really makes me want to rebuild my Ranar. I forgot how fun it is to run that commander.
Dude.... that spirit deck is INSANE
24:50 Damen blinked skycleave so it leaved battlefield so Jimmy should create 3/3 illusion token as his commander was exiled before by skycleave
His commander wasn't in exile anymore, it went to the command zone, so you don't get a token.
@@helderboymh oh really? damn I though that it is remembered, and just a fact that it was exiled means he will get a token no matter what
@@Bedni87 yep, they made a rulling on the card to make sure it's clear how that works.
25/09/2020 If there's no exiled card when Skyclave Apparition leaves the battlefield (most likely because its first ability hasn't resolved yet), no player creates a token.
Damen was a menace 😂
another day another video from the command zone!
I'm taking notes. 38:05 to 38:42 is genius and might use this strat.
Renar is definitely underrated wow
It was the Kindred Discovery that made it so overpowered in this game.
For sure, he's so good!
real fun watch, thanks all
Ranar is my favorite commander, and I've never seen another Ranar list in the wild. This was neat ❤
Love your shows! Good to have Ladee Danger back and Damen was great. I think Damen may have missed a Skyclave Apparation trigger to create an illusion for Jimmy when he blinked it.
Actually, no. Apparition exiled Jimmy's commander, and because it returned to the command zone immediately afterwards, there was no longer an exiled card for the second ability, so no token was created.
I love all of these decks so far
It's been too long since the last episode of extra turns. I needed this
I love all the animation and sound effects
So I pulled up this video while streaming on discord, and one of my friends asked while looking at a freezeframe "Hey is that Zac Efron?" Pointing at Damen
"it's a MONTAGNA"
as an italian, Jimmy you are the best
Few things as fun as modifying your decks while watching some solid gameplay!
The play mats Josh and Jimmy have at the beginning foreshadowing who won
Damen's style reminds me of my own. Wanted to see Ranar do more. Curious how many board wipes he's running.
