"I WILL TURN MY KITTEN INTO A... HALF KITTEN HALF KITTEN! I'VE DONE IT!"
Had me laughing
Madness! How can anyone take on the half kitten half kitten, its weaponized cuteness!!!
Funny thing is that it IS one of the best host and augments.
It's actually not a horrible combination. Whenever you take damage, you get to gain at least 1 life back.
@@jacobschiller4486Up to 6! 3.5 on average!
If he had hit with the infinity elemental it would still be doing damage now
Dem Bois :)
*gives it trample* oh no
@@caesarismycat2265 I played this and I put lick trick thing on it...
So it's Chuck Norris?
So does that mean, if you are hit with infinite damage, you can never play magic again
YOU CREATED A KITTEN, WITH ALL THE POWERS OF A KITTEN
YOU INSANE MONSTERS
Legendary comment right there... ☝️
...no comment about how accurate Jimmy was with telling the numbers of pi? Come on guys
That there is impressive
7:58 for anyone looking. All numbers are correct. Longer than what google calc will give you.
"3.14" take it or leave it
He has the presence of mind to count Gavin's card WHILE playing another game
@@bram8731 You misspelled 22/7
Half Kitten + Half Kitten = 1 Full Kitten. Quick Maths.
The best part is that its type is "cat cat"
KidCorgi.Com yes, the meths is very ez.
Isn’t it fuuurrrrrrocious
Mark wants to show how the augument mechanic works, what those he play? A half-kitten half....... Kitten?
That is true
I dont really care what anyone says, The Command Zone is a place I come for magic content, regardless of the format. The production quality is exceptional, the hosts are great and they provide us with comprehensive magic content. I dont understand how people can be disappointed, any time they produce a Game Knights im watching ASAP.
Keep up the great work guys, big fan from Canada :D
That's a really kind and true message
Honestly i agree entirely, the fact that I know this guy spent so much time on this card game I can understand this guys wonderment, the older gentlemen has this childlike wonderment when he is playing, and JKL and Jimmy do a great job hosting.
So True Captain Peaches!!! I to love Magic and addicted
Regardless of the format? You know, I would agree if it weren't for the absolute beginner product Game Night. That was _too_ dull.
one of the few channels I have the Bell turned on
That slaying mantis play is probably the greatest moment in Magic History.
I wonder if there's a combo where "When you draw a card, you may draw a card." with the augments.
There is not.
@@RonaldDotCa you may, meaning you can choose to not draw a card whenever you want
This would work well with the spark jace
Unbind your mind and you shall see, the beauty of the maniac in the laboratory
Alright, then I play jace, after that I play this augment card. Next turn I win the game.
18:56 hands down the greatest moment of the entire game. nobody can stop a Half-Kitten Half-Kitten.
thanks a ton for that timestamp, was looking all over the place for this
2:35ish Mark says "in 5-10 years, some of these things might be part of normal Magic, we've got dice rolling!". Well, with AFR, that's become reality!
and I think it could be argued that Augment was the predecessor to Mutate (and perhaps was easier to understand? haha)
I also see similarities between contraptions and sagas, but given that magic sets are developed 2 years in advance it doesn't quite fit as these two mechanics are just one year apart.
I hope we see mark more. He seems awsome! You can see from the way he talks he loves magic a lot, Props to you guys and thank you for doing this show.
Regards
Mark Rosewater: this set has wacky things that in 5 years might be in normal black bordered cards like dice rolling.
5 years later: Adventures of Forgotten Realms, Commander Legends Baulders Gate
*Sees the new video isn't about Commander*
*Doesn't care because the video was fun to watch anyway*
Am I the only one here who found that even if this episode was again a non-EDH one, it is still one of the most enjoyable so far?
Léo N. Nope, it's probably one of my favorites as well
Thanks!!!! We worked really hard on this one. It really is a fun set, and honestly every shoot is always fun but there were so many laughs that day. The Slaying Mantis bit killed me
Terry Robertson Unstable is definitely a lot of fun to play around with. And the Mantis shall never be forgotten haha
As i do miss their EDH games. I still find their drafts fun and enjoyable. Better then custom build mondern or standard decks
Nope. This one was awesome
Reach: So uncared about & unused that longtime Magic players and even head of R&D forget it exists. "I have no flyers so I'm gonna take the dmg.." bur
He was afraid of Sacrifice Play.
@@bradleyhoward9638 I would’ve still tried to block if he doesn’t have it doesn’t have it if he does you’ll be taking the damage either way feels bad always gotta try
*the next day at the secret subterranean Magic R&D aquatic base*
Mark: Tomorrow, we're going to announce that all blue and black cards are now banned from all formats. Also +1/+1 counters. Really, just dice in general. Also Gavin, you're fired. K, good talk team.
Is it bad that I read this in marks voice?
Me: so then, consuming aberration mills infinite because of th- wait what?
It's underground and underwater?
dang that's a real deep base... under the seafloor!
@@greywolf7577 when you make a comment on a comment and then read the comments
24:44 Dude, your Willing Test Subject has Reach!!!
Leonardo Boccaletti yeah I was waiting for them to realise that, even during the rest of the game, but nope.
Pssh, no one notices Reach lol
He knew about the reach. He decided not to block and kill Jimmy’s Chivalrous Chevalier. It was more about a political move with Jimmy that didn’t make the edit. This episode was tough to do for us because of all the cross play
I was saying the same thing
It wasn't that. He still thought Mark had that removal spell in his hand.
As a “new” player coming back from a 23 year hiatus, I LOVE that you are showing different facets of play in these videos. Commander is fun but “game night” can hit so many other types of play that I’m really happy to see these vids. Keep up the great work!
"Cards that might be in black-bordered Magic in 5, 10 years but for now they're not."
Laughs in Dungeons and Dragons
The best TH-cam channels diversify their focus to more than just one format. I appreciate your love for commander but I support you branching out into other formats. Magic is great to watch in all it's different variations!
John Raynor Moore thanks!!! A bunch of EDH coming up tho! :)
Misplay at 24:43, Willing Test Subject had Reach
Absolutely amazing video though :-)
Noticed the same thing.
In the last game, he failed to flicker the inhumaniac when the squirrel/jellyfish died.
I came here 7 months later to approve of your comment. (It had REACH dangit!)
Stuff like that makes me wonder if the game would've changed
the flicker only works for your own creatures
I get that people are upset it's not commander, but wizards is sponsoring them AND it's pretty cool they got a designer from wizards. And since it's him it makes sense to me that they are playing a set he designed.
The reason people continue to be upset is that EDH-based content has become comparatively rare on a channel that is literally named after it. Many fans, myself included, came here and subscribed because of that content, which has now become rare/occasional.
So all the podcasts and other commander related videos dont cont at all? because 1 series that isnt only focusing in commander you say the commander part is rare/occasional?
Why should i care if they do or they dont? the content is there, they cant tell that there isnt commander content because there is.
Rodrigo Bitencourt their podcast is hot garbage these days. Repetitive, superficial, and poorly formed. I mean they have had how many Q&As as of late? Or how they had an entire segment of an episode justifying misplays where they ignored the good suggestion viewers made(monstrous end phase before your turn or cast White Sun’s Zenith then as both are instant speed) instead botching its stats as they couldn’t even be bothered to read the card. Then in the same segment they had a nonexistent question of a decision that could not be made: “I had to Chaos Warp away Massacre Wurm because of Blade of Selves.” One is the sword was not in play nor revealed so that was impossible to know(great prep work) and two IF it was why not send the sword packing with the Chaos Warp? The podcast is introductory garbage now they give zero effort to. At best one in five episodes is worth watching. And Game Knights is about the same ratio. Guess they aim for 20% these days.
Rodrigo Bitencourt 10 out of our total 14 episodes so far have been Commander gameplay. Not that we have to justify what we make to the people who complain about that, but....
Just going to say that I think it’s funny how the comments talk about people hating because it’s not commander but I don’t see any comments like that.
same here lol
maybe they got blocked lol
They don't get upvoted?
But there was like a bunch of people before and there are still some dislikes on the video so I think they might target those ppl.
Yo I love how excited Mark Rosewater is, because he feels like a man who both loves magic and is a little off the rocker. It’s really infectious, plus he has such a cool lisp.
josh needs to train the "card throwing" with seto kaiba, lol
addam barcelos Or better yet, Gambit.
Nah kiba would be the one to train with
Yu-Gi-Oh reference nice
I love references other card games and card games I like
Honestly, i dont care if its not commander. As long as it still fun to watch and they keep bringing awesome guests, i'm fine with it. I'm not going to die if they play other formats. Its still Magic and its still fun. They brought Mark Rosewater to the table and people just focus on the fact that they arent playing commander.
I am going to to be completely, brutally honest here.
You people complaining that this isn't commander suck.
Jimmy and Josh work their butts off to bring you fun and *free* entertainment. *And you are complaining.*
Seriously, if you are going to complain, then don't watch the video.
Kind of wished we could see third place duel between you to.
Also, do you guys know if there will be any Magic stories set in Unstable?
Some youtube content creators are blessed with a fanbase that supports them fully as they expand into new areas in content, and explore new ideas. Others have fanbases that will argue on the technicality of the channel name as some sort of justification to stay in one place.
Really nice job on the animation for the sprocket!
I changed my mind. All the animation are really nice in this video!
I really love the Command Zone, and Game Knights. I think its great that they show more than just commander. It is a service to the community to expose us to other formats. To keep ourselves isolated in commander is to deny ourselves the full potential for enjoyment this game we love has to offer.
Keep it up Command Zone.
Thank you.
You should've knighted him Sir Mark of the Rose
Then handed him a glass of water
That slaying Mantis tho... Ah Josh, you gotta practice your Xmen Gambit card throwing game my dude. Great job guys! It was sweet to see Mark in all of his unstable glory.
As much as I was un-happy with the un-mmander announcement, drafting this looks fun and frankly might take the stress out of draft at my LGS. Nice video.
best episode I've seen so far. The set looks SO much fun to play!
I just discovered you guys and ended up binge watching all of the game knights videos, you guys are hilarious, the set are high quality, you're bringing costumes and new guests everytime... realy glad MTG can have such quality youtube content!
Mark rosewater?! wow!
Sorry I can't help thinking of children in an infomercial saying your comment. xD
Welcome to Shill Central(tm).
Commander video with these cards would be a sweet follow up. Thanks guys!
This was great! :D so much fun to watch, and great job on presenting a draft!!
Wow, 3 years later we get dice ruling into standard magic, he wasnt lying
To be honest, Gavin should have rerolled that second dice, since it landed on a tilt.
True
Especially with his luck of the draw. Honestly it wasn't very fun watching Jimmy get completely shafted like that the entire match. Throw 'em a frickin' bone and make this less one-sided for the sake of viewer enjoyment!
Did you also notice how his first roll barely moved from where it landed.?
Gavin just annoyed me as a player
@@Boozamn I do not agree. Gavin drafted a magnificent deck and that took a lot of brain power. We cannot ask him to hold back for our sake. Also where does it end if we stage one game? The last three years would have been staged....yikes.
Looks like Josh has got the Wil Wheaton dice-rolling curse.
Despite not always being commander, Game Knights episodes are still very well made and very entertaining to say the least. I know some people are a little disappointed that this episode is not commander and I do not blame you in the slightest, but lets all be patient and be thankful for the wonderful episode of Game Knights The Command Zone has brought to us. Moreover, I thought it was very cool to have Gavin Verhey and Mark Rosewater on the show. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for reading this and have a wonderful day :>
"We have things that are not yet in black border magic but could be in 5 to 10 years. We have dice roling..." Mark Rosewater foreshadowed AFR
great way to start my day thanks guys
*Maro* on GameKnights!!
Great Video guys, i'd love to see that 3rd place match :)
Don't let the comment section get to you. I'm looking forward to the next GameKnights (edh or not)!
Love this format and I’m glad that your doing things other than commander. Makes it more interesting
Thanks for the awesome content! I'm super excited for Unstable!! Kind of funny that the guests are in the finals
I wasn't too thrilled to see a non-commander video, but I watched it anyways and absolutely loved it. You guys do a fantastic job. Plz don't ever stop.
I wasn't going to draft it because it seemed very complex but after watching this awesome video I for sure will!
I love your videos! Because of this show I have recently picked up my old cards and started playing them again! Thanks guys
Loved the video, it makes me even more excited to draft unstable with my friends.
Hang on. These are the "Un" series right? Like Unhinged and Unglued?
Shannen Hartono Limbong yeah
Shannen Hartono Limbong it
I love how most of the comments are complaining about this not being a Commander video and calling The Command Zone sell outs. When Game Knights was started they said not all of the videos would be Commander games. That is why it isn't called Commander Knights. Most of their videos are dedicated to Commander but they are totally sellouts for having a few non- Commander videos right? Also complaining about them being sponsored is just ridiculous. They have to make money in order to still keep the channel going and being sponsored by the company that makes the game they play is a big deal. Of course they want to be sponsored by WOTC so they can get products early and keep the channel going. Saying they just keep promoting MTG products is stupid because they are essentially a channel dedicated to MTG products. Now they just happen to be directly promoting products instead of just playing with the cards.
Just my thoughts exactly...
Always fun to see Mark Rosewater playing the set he worked on. This was a fantastic episode.
Life just came full circle, Jimmy, I used to be a big fan of your brother's videos and now I ran into this channel that I'm super psyched on!
The thing I like about Game Knights is that everything is completely natural. Not rehearsed or rigged in any way at all, not in a million years scripted whatsoever.
Damn. Gavin is really lucky. Like ungodly lucky. Did he make a deal with Satan?
I just saw him with Ob Nixilis in the cinema
average L.O.D.D. drafter luck
He reminds me of my brother XD
Jimmys the big idea shouldn't have died. the difference between two and six is like saying two minus six witch is equal to negative four. had Gavin have rolled a six first then he could have killed it. jimmy should have on that game but my middle school math is better than their adult math oh well
you are an imbecile
To Jimmy, Josh, and all the rest who help make these high quality videos -- Thank you very much for everything that you do. I, for one, love a bit of variety in my Magic the Gathering diet, and how often does the chance to sit down and play a game with MaRo happen? Loved being able to watch this, and I look forward to whatever you guys produce next!
I loved this episode and I want to thank you for the awesome watch. I am a fairly new Magic player and while I primarily play EDH, it's great to see the different formats that I could play. I can't wait to draft unstable, it looks like so much fun. And Jimmy I'm impressed at your knowledge of pi.
So Im sad that it wasn't unstable commander but let me just say, I love your animations now! Using your new budget nicely :) Great LOOKING Video!
"it's your first time on the show, and you know what that means..."
It's time for another drive to work?
This was hilarious 😂😂. Would love to have these two back. Loved Gavin in archenemy too!
its almost 2024, im new to mtg, and found this gem of a channel. This makes me wish i got into magic years ago to enjoy games like these.
JOSH! TEST SUBJECT HAS REACH, YOU FOOL!
Hey Jimmy! I saw you on VGHS on netflix I love that show and the podcast is awesome ! Luv your content !
This is seriously the most fun format existing, need to crack some packs of this with my friends asap
Loved this episode! Unstable looks fun and wacky and this was a great way to showcase what it can do!
Sad to see most of the top comments complaining about how this isn't EDH or that they're "just Wizards shills durr". Get over yourselves, this is a fun episode and it's nice to see them changing up their format a bit.
Another vid, alright what's up. It's unstable, ALL right what's up. MARK ROSEWATER THATS ALL RIGHT. THICC JIMMY, could you ask for more in a vid?
this is the most fun ive seen anyone having all day
Wow those animation and sound effects make the game so much more fun and easy to comprehend.
I loved this episode, good job guys.
Great Episode! When josh threw the mantis i literally laughed out loud , thanks for that :D
As someone who knows nothing about magic or never played, the editing is on point, it's easy to follow the game.
I love this channel so much.
The gameplay and showing of cards with the giveaways etc. Makes this channel very very good to viewers new to MTG and is fun to watch for experienced players 😁
18:24
"I'm not too worried about the kitten, usually 1/1's for 1 not very good"
are you insane?
I like your Lifelinker app
So many funny moments, I laughed out loud multiple times. I can tell how excited MaRo was about this set.
First time seeing a Game Knights video. Awesome, this set looks unbelievable for draft!
You guys do know that these guys have been making these content at a LOSS right?
Even with ALL THESE SPONSORSHIPS THEY ARE MAKING THESE AT A LOSS!
seriously guys, cut some slack.
The production quality of their content is insane and they need all the help they can get.
stae1234 no they aren’t. They’ve been profitable for over half a year now and that was pre-WOTC sponsor. Everyone should undo Patreon as they don’t need that anymore lol. And they work so hard? Everyone who works full-time works hard but typically they have to do what a boss wants. They wanted to be their own bosses and get paid to do not what folks want them to do(like 99% of internet ‘artists’) but what they want to do. That’s fine but you’re not getting my money to make this garbage and the even worse podcast.
oof
Ms. Sysbit then why are you watching the video are you an idiot or just looking for a problem
The willing test subject has reach tho
I noticed that lol and I was wondering how the pro magic players and the lead designer didn't?
I backed out of full screen to like/comment this is so good. Thanks gents!
Never seen this Channel before and I’m super impressed with the production quality!!!
There are so many negative comments here, so I'll try something different. This is actually my favorite Game Knights video yet! Unstable looks like a lot of fun. Great job on getting Maro on the show. Keep doing what you're doing!
Matthew McGill I agree, this is probably my favourite as well. I like seeing the unstable cards in action, and it's awesome that they got Mark Rosewater on to play! It's not unglued or unhinged but it still seems like it will be fun to draft, so I'm looking forward to doing my own draft of the set tomorrow
Game Knights and The Command Zone are two different things.
they should make another channel
no they shouldnt, plenty of successful channels have multiple shows, its for the best imo!
i come here for commander not for silly draft sets. it'd be fine if they had done unstable commander but they decided to do draft despite their channels name
oh, weird, cause i come here to see Jimmy Wong and Josh Lee Kwai, there are plenty of channels on youtube with awesome commander games from all types of spectrums of play, and they post weekly, why come here for commander games? also these "silly drafts" are just as much if not more fun to watch than regular episodes to me.
thats fine if u like this, but as the name of the channel implies this is a commander channel and personally i am only interested in the commander which is why i sub'd in the first place. And i like tho watch their commander gameplays because they make them better than anyone else, and so its a bit sad when they stray away from their roots of commander. Personally i feel a bit betrayed and very disappointed
This episode was great! Totally taught me how to unstable
This was so much fun to watch!
it's amazing that you guys got to do this, and got to have Mark Rosewater. that alone makes this a great episode, but I'm not entirely sure if 1 on 1 magic works quite as well for the format of Game Knights.
This comments section is silly, but you might sincerely want to consider starting a Game Knights channel. Either way, I love that this video demonstrates that draft experience with the set means something.
Auslo Every Game Knights is essentially a commercial for Magic the Gathering, I don't understand the hate. Should they stop playing Magic and start their own card game to qualify as not selling out?
Auslo They get release content, their content takes a long time to make, there have been several releases and previews in recent months. I don't understand why people don't expect them to return to their regular style content. I've been watching for about a year and a half and this hasn't been particularly jarring and there's no reason to believe these last few episodes reflect the focus of the channel moving forward.
Auslo You commented on my post, lol
So excited for unstable. Looks so cool and can’t wait for draft weekend
Loved the episode! Probably my favorite actually. Keep up the awesome work.
5:32 U know Mark Rosewater doesnt watch The Command Zone when he screws up the catch phrase 🤣🤣
8:07 Fact checked. He's right
I could tell from memory alone that Jimmy got all 33 digits right. I memorized 112, though.
@@RickMattison314 Impressive!
Two years later and this Half Kitten-Half Kitten combo is still the best thing I have ever seen in Magic.
Wondering why it took me so long to find this video. It's one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
You know what? This vid was great. Fuck the haters.
I enjoy good production quality on casual magic being played, even if it's not commander.
Plus... the last video you guys posted was commander related. It's like these people won't be happy unless you are recording only commander games.
The best wizards commercial, yet!
SO MUCH DIVERSITY!
Well, usually thanking the sponsors only takes up 50% of their video. This time it took up >100%.
LOL
I thought my ad-block got turned off the whole time......
TH-cam red isn't working
I personally actually *like* your variety in content, guys ! Keep up the good work !
Awesome vid guys, love to watch drafting
