Easily the best roundtable episode yet. This is what I what this show to be. So fun, great easter eggs and development stories, very high quality. Really makes the hollywood feel that makes Game Knights what it is come to life.
I have a lot of respect to everyone in this episode for so patiently answering all these--well, let's charitably say "comments"--with a smile on your face, particularly when many of these commentators are not affording you the same patience. I don't know how you put up with all these fans, but this fan certainly appreciates you all for doing so :)
"Windswept Heath's gonna spike because now it can fetch mountains".... I love Craig :'D Edit: How the hell are people complaining about pronounciation? Jolrael whatever. Have you heard how Jimmy and JLK pronounce MENACE? Give it up folks, it's a lost dream. (And I actually like the idea of consciously mispronouncing things)
@@Gomez87 My play group does Swoomps for swamp, menaché for menace, and a bunch of other mispronounciations. Mostly because it's FUN :D (we also call Yanette cryptic sovereign Karen of HR, I don't even remember why, but it's stuck)
@@cacs2201 can't say that for one game. I have 40+ lands decks that get mana screwed. It just happens. I would keep the opening hand too, though not call it good. 4 mana + kill spell is neat. What you look for is more like 3 mana + Phyrexian arena is possible.
Mono black is notorious for being pip dense, Sol Ring doesn't help with that. Sol Ring is also a trap card in commander and shouldn't be played because people keep Sol Ring hands when they shouldn't.
This is honestly some of my favourite content. I've always loved the podcast episodes looking back on old games so having a whole show dedicated to it is awesome.
When I was first learning magic, i would watch and re-watch Game Knights as your editing of the cards being played and the interactions made it A LOT easier to learn. I show your videos to my students so that they can see the interactions and card play and hopefully learn too.
This was a really fun Round Table. The editing was so cool and loved getting a behind the scenes explanation as to what the process is. It was really great having guests! Would love to see Mel in front of the camera again at some point!
I thought ladees opening hand was great to possible options on turn two the ability to play at least three spells it was great. I think the professors at tolarian community college said this but his advice was if you never drew another card what could you do with your hand and Ladee could play her commander get out a synergistic creature and remove a problamatic threat.
I replayed that section a few times. I think the round table "pickup" was just another gag. I can hear Ladee Danger and Jimmy laughing during the segment. I was watching for the white part of "Jimmy's shoulder" to show up, but it never moved enough to be a plausible way to prove it. Good gag if it was. Or good editing if it wasn't.
I have to say, the dynamics between you four are fantastic! I’ve been a fan of The Command Zone for years but if you were to announce tomorrow that this is the new format going forward I would be super excited. 👍🏻
7:41- 7:57 I've looked at so many different channels playing Commander and I haven't been able to sit through an entire episode and watch it because I would get bored and it didn't look as good as when I would watch the command Zone. Keep up the great work.
While I love Jimmy and Josh and their chemistry, it was a lot of fun to have Craig and Ladee in this episode. I love the group of friends hanging out and talking and riffing on each other vibe. Feels like your hanging out in studio with them. Really hope to see more Craig and Ladee in the future!
Please make more of these they are wonderful, yes i was one of the Drag To The Underworld comments and i see my mistake i appologize for comming off rude Ladee, also i love game knights and i think having this show after the show is alot of fun, reviewing play of the game, death scenes, and just overall key moments and mishaps, you guys are the reason i got into commander and i love your content so much
really cool to see the cut to the wide shot and everything has changed. as a viewer it is like being transported to a different point in time but in a seamless fashion.
I absolutely loved when you had all the guests present! I know it can be harder when you'll have guests who live somewhere else than you in the future, but I hope you either can keep this up or add them with webcam etc :) This was way more interesting to follow through and really felt like it's own show which is great addition in your line-up!
Absolutely the best Round Table yet! Having Ladee and Craig on was a huge plus. I could get used to watching Round Tables with the four of you, even if not all of you were the players in the Game Knights episode.
Gotta say, I enjoyed this episode so much more than I thought I would. It’s always great to see the real genuine personalities that you guys bring on! We get hints of it during gameknights, but here they are fleshed our. This is what makes your content so great! Keep up the good work
I love this show so much. Not only do they acknowledge their mistakes but they also give us a look into their decisions and what they were thinking and thats always interesting.
I definitlely liked how you gave some behind the scenes information. That makes you way more authentic and creates sympathy. I also loved the episode where you showed how you create an episode of Game Knights.
I need to thank you all! During a game last night with our play group, 3 man game, me with my Korvold, facing up against a Kalamax deck and an Ur Dragon deck. Having rewatched the latest Game Knights, I tutored for Mob Rule. After a big board clear and an infinitely large Kalamax (reverberate copies) taking out the Ur Dragon, and tapping out in the process, turn passes to me and Mob Rule wins me the game.
I'm happy to watch any multiplayer format you guys do. You make it enjoyable to watch. Also, Jimmy's "Door to Nothingness" death is by far my favorite so far.
The meta level with the pick ups within pick ups was just out of this world. Really well done. Also: nice greetings to Ladee Danger! I wonder if she read all this comments aswell...
Craig and Lady are my favourite crew members to see as players on Game Knights! They do so well on camera and always bring such fun and positive energy.
My favorite moment ever (not death scene) was JUST before Josh lost to Jimmy that one game and Josh flash backs to Jimmy saying "no way you're gonna lose to mill"
Also changed the text on Spellbook. Went from “you ignore your discard step” to “you have no maximum hand size”. I have the older version in one of my decks. Fun to explain
Gavin slowly strangling josh was 10/10 Very cool to see your friend group expand as you welcome more people onto game knights too, I think the fact that you guys all like each other, and aren't just random youtubers forced to play together for views makes it a lot more fun to watch.
One thing that has always blown me away about game knights is the animations for the cards. Like I have no idea how you even pull those off but they're really incredible and make these games really unique.
Don't get me wrong, I've liked a lot of the Guest Knights that they've had on, but I would totally watch just these 4 playing games more often. The dynamic between them was great. Would love to see more episodes of specifically Josh, Jimmy, Ladee and Craig.
They just seem like such a fun office group to work and play with. I really like how well these guys take criticism on the chin as well. Much love to you guys!
Not gonna lie your the only podcast with matches that I can watch. I can't see the cards or don't hear peoples thoughts on why they did these things or what they were setting up for etc. Etc. That and the attitudes around the table make the game more enjoyable. Keep on being the best!!!
The breakdown and explanation for these cards is great. Hardcore MTG fans might know them, but just getting a greater understanding is nice. Wish y'all would do this after every Game Knights match.
Love behind the scenes stuff. You had that one whole episode about the process and the equipment.Really would love to see an episode about what everyones position is in the company, how many hours do they work for in a month, how much filming an episode costs and all the other fun money things. I am not a patron but i hope you have told all this stuff to your patrons if not us general audience.
"Putting a 3 color commander cycle in a core set is not in the best interest of R&D." ...We're just going to completely forget M19 and M20 happened aren't we...
I think that the last podcast of the year should have an award section (including best death scene of the year or unluckiest play... That Jimmy should win every year)
I love that you guys have started doing this! I used to think my peak nerdom was getting excited for SC2 tournaments. Now it's post-game MTG commentary.
Man my favorite death on game Knights was definitely Ben Bateman's death on the Dominaria brawl episode, i could watch it for hours and never get tired of it!
Awesome gk episode and evolution of round table! It’s great to have Ladee and Craig, you guys all have great chemistry, and hearing the perspective of the other guests adds a lot. Can’t wait for the next episode, whenever it’s safe to do so! Maybe the next one could feature crew members that haven’t been on a episode yet?
I really love that u guys take some time to explain our questions in the comments You and @Playing with Power are the best mtg channels in the whole internet
That was hilarious, thanks for the insight and clarifiaction. I had no clue, you are doing these type of aftertalk videos as well, very interesting. Love you guys! Such a sympathetic, funny team. Keep up the great work and looking forward to hopefully many more videos in the future!!
Hey Josh, Jimmy, and the Command Zone team! I love this channel so much and have watched every episode of game knights. I was just wondering if you guys would ever consider doing a "roulette" night? Like each person build 1 or 2 decks and you roll for what deck you get. I think you all would have so much fun with that! However, I know how hard you all work and I am not sure how much time everyone would have to build 2 decks. Just a thought, but either way keep up the good work. Love you all!
My goodness people are whiny! Half the things they complained about being incorrect weren't even mistakes. If you're going to criticize the players for making mistakes, at least know what you're talking about before you post your comment. Command Zone team, YOU GUYS ROCK!
Easily the best roundtable episode yet. This is what I what this show to be. So fun, great easter eggs and development stories, very high quality. Really makes the hollywood feel that makes Game Knights what it is come to life.
The best death is still Jimmy killing himself with his door to nothingness. “What’s behind this door? NOTHIIIIING!!”

Someone at our table mispronounced vigilance once, it’s been “village ents” ever since.
Seems to work for Seth (SaffronOlive)
My playgroup has nicknames for so many cards that games with other groups confuse me
Nothing wrong with menaché.

Questioning Ladee's opening hand is kind of nuts. It was a solid opener for sure.
It was a GREAT opening hand
The deckbuilding was not that good, tough, she had waaaay to little lands
I think it was a good opening had too. I'm just curious why she only had 31 lands in her deck. That wasn't addressed in the Roundtable discussion.
@@cacs2201 can't say that for one game. I have 40+ lands decks that get mana screwed. It just happens. I would keep the opening hand too, though not call it good. 4 mana + kill spell is neat. What you look for is more like 3 mana + Phyrexian arena is possible.
Mono black is notorious for being pip dense, Sol Ring doesn't help with that. Sol Ring is also a trap card in commander and shouldn't be played because people keep Sol Ring hands when they shouldn't.
seizan88 even if she wouldn’t have been mana screwed, 31 lands is way too low
My favorite death scene is Prof dying to milling. Just his head on the board is hilarious.
That whole episode is mint
Which episode is it? I need to watch.
I think it was the masters draft
But I can’t be sure
@@joristhejester3229 you are correct!
Ladee Danger says she reads every comment so I'd just like to say more people should go camping and enjoy nature.
Ladee danger is a very pretty young lady, she needs to be on more game knights.
????????

Let's keep it real, "You should've died face down" is the most iconic moment in Game Knights. I laughed so hard when I first watched the video.
Agree. Meghan and Maria have my vote. -JLK
Same, still cracks me up! 🤣🤣
Math is for blockers though
Seriously. I lol 🤣
That was hilarious. I laughed out loud!
This was a really fun Round Table. The editing was so cool and loved getting a behind the scenes explanation as to what the process is. It was really great having guests! Would love to see Mel in front of the camera again at some point!
I miss Mel too!
I want to see a rematch just so Ladee Danger can get more land 😖😢
I agree. I wanted to see more from that Vito Deck.
@@ProphecyPhrase agreed also with MTGnerdgirl
Yes
She should have put mode lands in the deck tough, did you check this decklist?
@@cacs2201 yeah, taking a 2 land hand and playing a 31 land card deck, kind of hard to sympathize with when they miss their land drops
Saaaame!
A round table on an actual round table! Love this format for the show.
Game Knights: Round Table has evolved. Best one yet.
I thought ladees opening hand was great to possible options on turn two the ability to play at least three spells it was great. I think the professors at tolarian community college said this but his advice was if you never drew another card what could you do with your hand and Ladee could play her commander get out a synergistic creature and remove a problamatic threat.
Her opening hand was pretty good, the issue is she only ran 31 lands in her deck
@@themudkid2028 Wow and I thought Ladee was just incredibly unluckily
I see you trying to toot the editing team's horn Craig. Keep doing it. Everyone is doing an incredible job!
Hope we get to see these four specifically in another episode, they just have such good chemistry and it's so pleasant to watch them play
This is such a heartwarming episode. Seems like you guys are such good friends. Please keep it up!
When we started talking about pickups I felt I was in the twilight zone!
For real..!
Interesting trivia... wait what, that's not Jimmy!
@@oals29 54:20 CONFUSED SCREAMING

Good gag if it was. Or good editing if it wasn't.
I’ve tried fetching for lands that weren’t even in the deck I was playing so Craig, you’re all good man we’ve all done this.
The dying face down + Kenji eye spasms were what I thought of first, and the Dying face down was just perfect.
This video gives me the heebie jeebies. Josh and jimmy sitting in opposite places is messing with my mind
I was bothered and didn't know why, but now I understand
Lol
This a glimpse into a parallel universe. Here Josh HATES playing at flash speed and Jimmy always finds his lands.
What about the stand in shoulder?
I had no problems with that, until you said it... Thanks i hate it...
I really like the bit about pickups! I love knowing how professionals go about their production.
After seeing that Ashnod's altar combo I want a series of Craig just doing infect deck techs of commanders that shouldn't be run with infect.
One of my favorites is phyrexian oil and syr konrad.
I can't adequately express how much I love this show and this channel. You guys are fantastic and I so appreciate all of your efforts.
will craig be on more episodes in the future and when is josh next losing to infect?
I have to say, the dynamics between you four are fantastic! I’ve been a fan of The Command Zone for years but if you were to announce tomorrow that this is the new format going forward I would be super excited. 👍🏻

That whole pick up inception bit was amazing. Favorite part of the whole video, I love that kind of editing
I love the honesty about the production errors and fixes. More please - we are learning!!

Mad respect for apologizing

These roundtable episodes were really one of the best ideas you guys have had for the podcast. Really enjoyed this one, love the passion! Keep it up
Much love for all of you and your team. Game Knights is a beautiful show and these Roundtable episodes are brilliant.
Honestly, I LOVE hearing about the behind-the-scenes stuff you do in these episodes. That was so cool to watch as a filmmaker myself!

Man Craig has no chill and that's exactly why I love having him on!
I love this show so much. Not only do they acknowledge their mistakes but they also give us a look into their decisions and what they were thinking and thats always interesting.
Love the new dynamic with 4 people at the table. Hope you do more of this in the future!
I definitlely liked how you gave some behind the scenes information. That makes you way more authentic and creates sympathy. I also loved the episode where you showed how you create an episode of Game Knights.
My favorite death scene is the scene where Jimmy didn’t want to do a death scene. The salt aura off of Jimmy radiated straight out of the monitor.
I need to thank you all! During a game last night with our play group, 3 man game, me with my Korvold, facing up against a Kalamax deck and an Ur Dragon deck.

haha i feel pranked with the inception talking about reshoots and pick-ups, i liked that a lot XD
Wow love this episode. All four of them talking and having great input and banter, awesome.

Not a death or win scene, but I loved when you prepared that hand wrestling scene for like 5 minutes and it's literally over in 2 seconds.
Ladee Danger, should have her own show. Great video!💯🙏👐
Oh my lord the reshoot segment was so crazy.
I do have to say the card draw death was hilarious, one of my favorites
The meta, ironic reshoot was really awesome! Totally illustrated how well it works, because I could not tell at all!
Thank you! Absolute blast of an episode! Highlight of the evening for me!
You guys should do a "redemption" video where people bring their past decks that they lost with because of being mana screwed.
All four would be Jimmy’s decks 😂
The animations and art are really coming along! Way to go!
