@@EDHijinks I agree. I couldn’t afford prerelease because I spent a ton of money on car repairs on top of a car payment, car insurance, and rent. I also need to license my car this month. I’m trying to focus on my vacation next week and completing my reading goal.
Ben's reaction to the one wall that can kill Hans was golden. The moment he glanced at it and put it face down on the table, I knew it was the one card he didn't want to see. 🤣
Double the Henzie double the fun! Henzie is currently my favorite commander deck to play. Small note, Henzie reduces any "blitz" cost so, when you cast Calderia Guardian at 32:05 it would've been reduced by 1.
Fun game! Love to see Henzie, such a great commander ! Just gotta note that Weathered Sentinels could not be blitzed because it doesn't have mana value 4 or greater.
I'm both incredibly happy that Wheeler did a Gruul Defender tribal and also incredibly sad that apparently high-toughness may be my niche area of commander knowledge.
When Ben mentioned a wall that could kill Hans, my first thought was Wall of Razors. It's a 4/1 first strike defender for (1)(R); it's a fantastic early game blocker, but I guess I'm the only one crazy enough to consider it in a wall deck.
Your guests are always SO GOOD! Wheeler is always a welcome face, and I am excited to see mroe from GermanGaryOak. Huzzah! Also, 'All of a sardine' is mine now. I'm taking it.
Sardine? Yes! Please, please, please continue to butcher names. Everytime I snap focus from whatever reverie I find myself in. Also, more puppy moments. That was precious.
Henzie is hard because there is a delicate balance between creatures you want to blitz and ones you want to hard cast. I am close to finalizing my list as well.
Henzie is definitely challenging to build around. I hated the precon and found I would just rather hard cast most things. I revised the deck to recur the same creatures repeatedly while playing with the graveyard. Now he is one of my favorites.
Just saying, that German accent in the beginning? So worth. And you can't change my mind. 😂😂😂 And then, I hear, "This is the 'Choose Boom Pile' episode of Elder Dragon Hijinks." I think it's safe to say, this episode is living up the "Hijinks" part of the title. 😂😂😂
“Can I freshen you up, hun?” Inspired an entire mini-sode in my head of Oliva working nights in a dinner in New Jersey. Cigarette in her slightly wrinkled ruby red lips. A dead look in her eye carrying bags full of late nights, hard times, and harder drinks. A hand on her hip while she pours you a fresh cup of coffee. As ash collects on the tip of her cigarette, ready to fall onto your half eaten slice of pecan pie. A warmth in her tone just beneath her cold demeanor that makes you feel like she would care about your sad stories but break a coffee pot over your head if you crossed her.
Ooh, double Toolbox! Henzie is one of my absolute favorite precons of all time, as soon as it got spoiled I started planning my upgrades. Also for what it’s worth, Henzie also reduces the printed blitz costs on cards like Caldaia Guardian, it’s even better than you think!
About 20 mins into the game when Ben got the 1 card that'd kill his commander...he had Portcullis Vine in play. Activate the Vine to sac the new creature, draw a card and keep his commander.
Olivia "Hate/Hate is not love!" Also mood on the depression deck building, I theory crafted so many deck on bad days just because it gave me something to focus on
I had the same reaction as Eilidh to Boompile, did not even realize it existed, going to buy a copy and play it to see how my friends react. Only four mana and it sticks around to do it again?!! Wow!
Ack Hans run...!! Its the ...walls!? lol What an unexpected deck theme lol love it. I love how Saffi and Hans are siblings but have different surnames.. Surnames that indicate their relation to their dad? lol Saffi Eriksdotter (Eriks daughter) and Hans Eriksson (Eriks son). Eventually we need a Erik Saffiandhansdad.. Ok I'll see myself out. xD GGs!
Ach schön, wenn Menschen auf der anderen Seite des großen Teichs Freude mit der Sprache der Dichter und Denker haben. Watch Nanowar of Steel - Der Fluch des Kapt'n Iglo. That will teach you all the German you will ever need
The hardest I’ve ever laughed while watching this show was when Kibler swung out and decked himself. I’m not sure which guest has the highest lols per episode but it’s definitely either Wheeler or Tappy
I haven't even watched the episode yet. So I don't know anything that happens. But I see a henzie "toolbox" Torre! And I love that. I just actually kinda got into commander within the last year or so because I pulled a henzie from a booster and I was like well. This guy looks fun I'll make a deck. And now commander is my favorite format. Used to dislike it but I love it now. And henzie is my pet deck that I keep tweaking and upgrading and getting cool cards for. I just love the blitz and sacing for my benefit play style along with recursion.
Olivia also tutored for a land on Game Knignts against Josh, Craig. and a Loading Ready Run guy because she was stuck with only about 4 lands for most of the game, it's when she played Etrata the Silencer
holy hell, i am incredibly shocked at the afrikaans being spoken here, by magic players! i am from South Africa and have only been getting into magic since last year! Magic is such a huge vast community and hearing my mother tongue actively in it has warmed my soul a little thank you!
German language and a commander named Hans? I feel very much represented. Let me grab a Bratwurst and a Bier and enjoy your awesome content! Thank you for all the entertainment.
I loved the snobby entitled hipster impressions! It reminded me of Ryan Hamilton's bit about New Yorkers: "Wait a minute! I'm a social media director and I'm a writer! I had to live in The Village its the only place I feel inspired. I had to ask my father its the bravest thing I've ever done." LOL
Me:*looks at the title gets confused* are they gonna use an unstable card? Also me: *realizes what's going on* ohhhh. Welp looks like I was right for hans lol. Great game tho. Nearly close to tears over the whole shenanigans yall put up with each other lol
I am with Eilidh, R2-D2 is the true hero of the Star Wars universe. He was present for ever major event of the series. No R2, no story. No, I will not be taking any questions.
I think people used to eat chalk during the industrial revolution, the poor wanted white bread, but couldn't afford it, so they just added lots of white powders to the brown flour until the bread looked white. This was not a good plan, whereas pine bark bread is apparently just fine, so yeah?
I play a Henzie deck that's 4cmc Artifact creature tribal 😅 the goal is to cast Henzie four times then blitz through my deck with a sac outlet! It's so dumb and fun
17:12 I know I am very late, but it seems that nobody has commented on Georg's "I'm gonna be doing what the Germans do. I'm gonna be blitzing." So here I am. Edit: Never mind, now I've found a comment of somebody who didn't like it. Which is fair, too.
Edit: There was a change to the rules thanks to Serra Paragon, and now he functions as you would expect! The creatures you blitz in keep blitz indefinitely without needing Henzie to stay on the board anymore! Previous comment: Henzie is in such a weird spot. He didn't work properly on release, and the rules change they did to fix him makes him a huge target for pre-combat removal. The creatures you Blitz in with his ability only keep Blitz as long as he stays on the battlefield, meaning they will lose Haste and the ability to draw a card if he is removed (they are static abilities tied to having the Blitz keyword), while the delayed triggered ability set up by casting with Blitz will still cause you to sacrifice that creature at the beginning of the next end step. He's still cool, and if your group allows you can play him as intended rather than how he mechanically functions, but that isn't a guarantee. The mechanical quirk is something you should be aware of if you decide to play with him, and including some protection for him is a good idea.

"What inspired you to build this?" "Depression." ... oof, felt that in my soul. I just bought another deck after depression building.... :D
Hope you're taking care of yourself, friend! Depression is a bitch.

Wheeler is in, Wheeler is hot, I want some Wheeler so Wheeler it's gonna be.
“Just out for a rift are ya bud?” - Wheeler
Laughed out loud - he is the subtle king of this show
I'm both incredibly happy that Wheeler did a Gruul Defender tribal and also incredibly sad that apparently high-toughness may be my niche area of commander knowledge.
Olivia: "You guys never let me get scary."
Me: Najeela is scary before you even roll for first.
I always forget that you are from South Africa and it warmed my heart when I heard Ali speak Afrikaans. You're awesome and i loved the content
Olivia's ASMR reading anything would sell millions you can't tell me otherwise
I’d pay $$$ for it…
When Ben mentioned a wall that could kill Hans, my first thought was Wall of Razors. It's a 4/1 first strike defender for (1)(R); it's a fantastic early game blocker, but I guess I'm the only one crazy enough to consider it in a wall deck.
I haven't watched yet, I just got to the guests and HELL yeah GermanGaryOak and Wheeler rock. And now back to watching.
Your guests are always SO GOOD! Wheeler is always a welcome face, and I am excited to see mroe from GermanGaryOak. Huzzah!
Also, 'All of a sardine' is mine now. I'm taking it.

@@EDHijinks : You could always say "All of a sardine" in Afrikaans. 🤔
Just a thought.
Sardine? Yes! Please, please, please continue to butcher names. Everytime I snap focus from whatever reverie I find myself in. Also, more puppy moments. That was precious.
I always read Henzie Torres instead of Torre. No amount of re-reading will convince me that this devil isn't a latin brother
omg, lol
Great episode! Wheeler is so much fun! And I absolutely love Henzie! Definitely one of my favorite decks to play!
Oh my God, that Hans Walls deck is brilliant. I am inspired!
I see wheeler, I click. God bless Benjamin Wheeler #gbbw
I love Henzie! Have been trying to fix my list for a while, it's challenging!
Henzie is hard because there is a delicate balance between creatures you want to blitz and ones you want to hard cast. I am close to finalizing my list as well.
Ruthless technomancer is one of my favorite adds thus far. Get some extra value out of them and potentially recur stuff.
Henzie is definitely challenging to build around. I hated the precon and found I would just rather hard cast most things. I revised the deck to recur the same creatures repeatedly while playing with the graveyard. Now he is one of my favorites.
it took me weeks to narrow my list from 150 to 100... so many cards in my 'almost' list

"Alright, pitter patter" 19:27
Hey Wheeler!! Give your balls a tug!!
Wheeler was sitting behind his walls like a sassy Frenchmen in a Monty python movie. Throwing a MF’n cow over the wall to end the game.
You gals are great, loved the banter at the end!
Confirmed Ben is actually Rick Sanchez - his arch enemy is Mr. Nimbus.

Ben, the Tree belongs in an Aristedes (?) deck, where defenders assign damage with toughness.
Love Wheeler and his unique decks, more Wheeler I say!
"There's only one creature in here that can kill Hans."

Also me: *realizes what's going on* ohhhh. Welp looks like I was right for hans lol.
Great game tho. Nearly close to tears over the whole shenanigans yall put up with each other lol
I love that Wheeler tends to bring decks of the more interesting type. :)
Should have pointed 30 damages to Hans as well just to shout Ack! Hans! Run!
Other than Olivia not getting to really do much, that was a fun, entertaining game!
Wheeler you rock! I enjoy watching you play, nice game!!
Hans is so destined to die that even in a deck with only one thing that can kill him it happens *immediately*
I am with Eilidh, R2-D2 is the true hero of the Star Wars universe. He was present for ever major event of the series. No R2, no story. No, I will not be taking any questions.
Enjoyed seeing what Wheeler's deck would do
Super cool, das mit Begrüssung auf deutsch am Anfang 😂
Did she just bust out The Westside Connection? Bow Down!
58:00 Blitzing the Sentinels was an illegal play, Henzie only gives blitz to creatures with 4+ mana value
How many commercials can you pack into a video?
Answer: yes 🙌
not even 10 minutes in, and VERY entertained. Guten Abend die Damen und Herren! Schoen mal ein bisschen mehr Deutsch zu hoeren!
Guys please come back again , u guys got me rolling,bonepile
