I love the fact that the turn after Johnathan, the pirate, dies jimmy cycles a lonely sandbar. It's the place where the pirate hid his last treasure token lol
You did a lot of damage to yourself, then blamed him for playing an enchantment 2 turns before. Seems a little unreasonable. I’m not trying to be mean or anything though, I just think it’s goofy
@@commandcastJonathan has such a way with people- I had the honor to meet him at a convention last year and his energy is electric. Felt like meeting an old friend.
I was 7 in 2007 when the first game came out. Played them up until Ezio's story was done. Rest of the games all looked meh and even the last 2 Ezio games were getting old.
@@kobaine4486same, I still play 3 but got disappointed with the story and the characters, got back in Valhalla and man... That's the most bloated game I ever played and I play the yakusa games 😅
I've been watching a bunch of other Commander games lately, and only now do I appreciate how well game nights is presented. Great job guys, thank you so much!
Always love getting Jonathan Young back on the show! I'm new to Magic but I've gone back and watched most of the Game Knights in the past few years, and this has got to be one of my favorites. The decks, the constant swinging of the game between players, the players themselves, everything was just perfect. Here's to a good Game Knights!
Jonathon killing himself with his own enchantment and then Josh saving him and then him killing himself off with a fetch just so D didn't get the satisfaction of killing him has got to be one of the top moments in magic
@@dylanbrown5087but it popped up right under the like button as soon as i opened it. Reading the title and right under "jonathan killin himse-" daaaaaangit
I had the same thoughts, but there’s still hope-some of the Commanders he has played have ended up with less than 300 decks on EDHREC. There’s still hope to be a hipster
I've actually been looking at the background of your opening shot when you're saying welcome. And I can actually tell which decks are in the background.
I like how you guys foreshadowed the extra combat spell by highlighting how “confused” you were by his play pattern. Will look for those eggs in the future.
This was definitely a great video and an awesome game of Commander. Also, congrats Andrew for the win. Assassin’s Creed is one of my all time favourite games/series and it was fun to see them come to MTG with their own set 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 my man DaVinci to boot (the OG ally of the Assassins). Johnathan is one of my favourite people/artists ever and it was fun to see him come back on Game Knights…and it was also fun to see him go out on his own terms. Great job Game Knights and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.
When I play with my Assassin's Creed Deck I'm going to be running my take on the Brotherhood Initiates Deck which means it's the Blue-Black deck commanded in a Commander/EDH style game by the man, the legend, the leader of the Italian Brotherhood himself Ezio Auditore De Firenze, and yes 4 of the creature cards will be Ezio's super-intelligent ally who is not only a brilliant mechanical engineer, but a master artist, and a brilliant doctor who revolutionized the study of the human body/anatomy Leonardo Da-Vinci, and 3 of my most favorite Assassin Creed protagonists those being the Frye siblings Jacob and Evie, and Connor Kenway.
Jonathan be a true pirate, he be stealing cards, digging up some treasures and be going down with his ship! A true pirate indeed, yargh, salute to you Jonathan!!!!
Jonathon and D burning themselves out in like 5 turns is ABSOLUTELY the type of chicanery I love seeing at my own table and on this show. And that tense showdown between Josh and Jimmy was legit great
The music on the 1v1 made it so much more epic. Well done! Great episode, too bad Jonathan got killed that fast, would've loved to see the Pirate deck pop :o
If I had a nickel for every time JLK made a Karate Kid 2 reference in Game Knights... I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Thank you guys for making Magic so accessible. Your team is amazing, from the explanations added, thought process, and amazing effects. I have both enjoyed and learned alot from the content you create.
"You *should* pursue a career in arts, everybody!" "It's not just a phase, dad!" I could practically feel Jon getting triggered by that but doing his best to conceal it. :P
I've been watching so long to see Jimmy's crazy plays finally pay off and now I finally got to see it!! Tick that off the bucket list lol! Amazing game guys!
Jimmy: 1 deez nuts joke in an hour long episode of great content Audience: “guys did you hear the Deez nuts joke? Wasn’t it funny? Guys did you hear it?”
YESSS! Always love seeing the legendary Johnathan Young playing commander! His work on the New Cappena OST was incredible and so underappreciated! Wish wizards promoted it more!
37:52 am I the only one to notice Jonathan triggers his faerie mastermind for the second time that turn? Earlier that turn D used the flashback faithless causing Jonathan to draw then.
Very fun episode. Haven't really been interested in this set, but looks like there's some cool stuff. Really liked the end where you felt like you sped it up or at least made it a bit more snappy. Got that fighting game feel going real well imo.
I'm going to run the Brotherhood Initiates Deck from the Starter Set which in a commander game is led by Ezio and yes along with adding in Connor Kenway(his card calls him by his Mohawk name but I don't know how to properly spell it), both Evie and Jacob Frye I'll also be adding in Leonardo Da-Vinci cause I can't have a Ezio deck and not include his best buddy and go-to tech expert for new gadgets and gadget upgrades.
@@derrickhaggard Man, I am sad that I can't justifiably include da Vinci in my Duggan deck for the flavor win, given that his one episode in Doctor Who focused heavily on the Mona Lisa.
The music that played when D got an extra combat before it cut to ads was SO GOOD. Anyone know were I can find that song for the workout playlist? Edit, the music when Josh and jimmy fight is also CRAZY good. The music this whole episode was 10/10. SO GOOD.
Seeing people justifying not paying tax "because they're behind" instead of paying attention to the fact that being behind is worth good will and reduces the amount you get attacked is classic Game Knights. Always pay the 1.
Basically I'd your not about to win you should pay the 1, cards are just too good and typically what ever your doing instead of paying isn't as good as free card advantage
I think it depends on the table… against combo and ramp decks sure you should pay.. but if you are sitting with a bunch of assassins and pirates on the table, you gonna wish you were not so outnumbered
Thank you game knights, I love supporting truly beautiful artists and now I can listen to Mr Young. Always love and laughter to your lives and thank you for the content.
This was one of the more unique games of commander I’ve watched online. No one was non competitive and the ending was kind of crazy in how it just became normal magic.
38:08 is literally one of my favorite game knights moments ever between jimmy and johnny. This episode had me screaming the entire time rooting for those pirates ❤️🙌🏻

What a crazy game! I still feel bad for targeting Jonathan but he took it like a champ. Thanks for having me on again!
- D
That play was so funny, I love watching black mages burning themselves out like this.
Nah you did the right thing for sureeeeeeeeeeee - jimmy
I think you suffered from a condition called Avernus emotional damage 😅 Jimmy sure loved the play. Made him a king! 🤴
I feel like he left you no choose. You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.
You did a lot of damage to yourself, then blamed him for playing an enchantment 2 turns before. Seems a little unreasonable. I’m not trying to be mean or anything though, I just think it’s goofy
"He's gonna keep surveiling?? He's already got that goblin.
D's nuts for this this." 😂😂
They knew what they were doing.
NOT SCRIPTED BTW
I may or may not have lost it
Wong….
Surprised Pikachu face
The chemistry of these 4 feels the most natural i've ever seen on game knights. This could of been any home playgroup. Love it.
It helps that I’ve known D for over a decade now! We go way back, and it feels like Jonathan is a lifelong friend too - Jimmy

For those who may not know, this is the second time that Jonathan has died because of Descent into Avernus. Legend 😂
2nd time on camera? He could have died more times that way off camera.
He was also stealing opponent's stuff the other time and (technically) killed himself too. A true legend, indeed.

This is the first time in a long time that I've seen Jimmy win.
If only when people died it said “DESYNCHRONIZED” instead of “knocked out”. That would have been peak!!! But definitely a good episode

I think you guys need to invite Johnathan more often. He brings chaos to the table every time he plays! So fun to watch.
Seeing people justifying not paying tax "because they're behind" instead of paying attention to the fact that being behind is worth good will and reduces the amount you get attacked is classic Game Knights. Always pay the 1.
Being behind means that you generally avoid getting directly targeted. However, it also tends to mean you've got the most punchable face
Basically I'd your not about to win you should pay the 1, cards are just too good and typically what ever your doing instead of paying isn't as good as free card advantage
To play devil's advocate Jimmy was still getting attacked even though he was behind
I think it depends on the table… against combo and ramp decks sure you should pay.. but if you are sitting with a bunch of assassins and pirates on the table, you gonna wish you were not so outnumbered
Jonathan going to ONE is the MOST Edward Kenway thing I ever seen XD
