Kudos to Jeremy for staying cool regardless of Stephen's tricks. A lesser man would have been triggered and I was proud of you him for keeping his cool!
It can be really annoying playing against someone who tries to "sneak" a card past you. I felt bad for Jeremy when Stephen straight up lied about his Prahv, Spired of Order.
Jon is out because while he did have a prescription to get some medicine, the pharmacy simply gave him a card with the word "medicine" on the top, stating that "it says medicine right there".
There's no way it wasn't on purpose. And he covered it with a basic AND folded his lands into his hand facing away from Jeremy. Super scummy. That's the kind of thing that makes me root against him.
If you got a problem with Canada gooses then you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate! Never crushed the Like button so hard as when I heard a Letterkenny reference. Steven was always my favorite and now he is Legend Status.
What got countered at 50:30? I can’t seem to find anything with art that grey on Esteban’s decklist Cmc 4, mono-white, enchantment, and Jeremy said “I’ve seen how good that can get.” I can’t make out the actual art, but it looks too uniformly grey to be Smothering Tithe.
Do you fine people have a max budget per deck/per card? I know you have done nothing over $5 decks, or altering commander pre-cons under a budget. But, I have a ton of decks I'd like o send your guys way, so I am wondering if I would need to make a cheap/not cheap version of each deck? Or how you all would like it? I never get to play anymore, so I would dig seeing some of my decks getting played.
#JustinPOWERnell Now to go figure out if I can make a commander video based on that... Edit: That's exactly how Justin introduces himself, and that MIGHT BE enough to convert me from #TeamGreen... maybe...
With Justin’s first blood Kyle should of had 38 because of Judith Edit: Kyle should not of gone to 39 when blocking with the lifelike because the blood witch had first strike
If Justin blocks a Wurm with Master of Cruelties and chumps the beast with a goblin at 1:32:10ish, he survives getting punched by the bird that kills him. Tough start to the season for #TeamParnell
whenever I play R/B I make sure to play bounce effects and wheels. There are WAYS to deal with Enchantments in these colours...you just need to work for it.
@@lracseroom8286 B is black, U is blue, in case you were confused. OP is referring to Justin saying he wouldn't do anything to Stephen's enchantments in the game.
Lrac Seroom there’s also meteor golem, which I make sure to include in any colors that cannot deal with enchantments. It’s 7 mana, but in black I’m usually running reanimation effects anyway, so it’s decently repeatable
These are the reasons I come watch Commander Vs. I love Stephen Green's play style. His whole goal was to have fun with Dovescape, and when he saw Jeremy was going to be kicked out of the game by Kyle (quite rightly but still) he let him back in. Wonderful! A game at its most fun. That's why I rep Team Green!
I'd love to see Justin revisit his OG Tavriel tokens deck from his original appearance on #CMDRVS now that he is way more comfortable and familiar with the format.
I am not angry at what Stephen did but I am a bit upset by the fact that almost half the game, Stephen was holding all his lands like they were his hand. I used to be a Team Wes person and I have not been able to properly align with anyone since and Stephen was my front runner until this. Officially #TeamDirKyleWest #Scoops
#TeamParnell. Justin, I have a deck for you. Now I know you hate Kamigawa, but I don't think the other three really understand why you hate it and they need to be instilled with fear of it. Reki, the History of Kamigawa is mono-green storm. You're gonna cast many spells each turn and keep drawing cards so you can keep casting legends. This is by far my favorite deck to play and I really want you to show off this underplayed Commander. Here's the decklist: www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1446183#paper I included a deck deck description too. I'm going to keep posting this on every video until you play it. I'm a huge fan. Congrats on the season win! I was rooting for you!
@@ryanskolnick1274 Thanks! I was playing it last night and recovered from 3 board wipes and won the game, primarily because of Praetor' s Council. Hell of a card
The save point should be revoked from stephen, way to much of a cheap play, concealling the card and straight up sayong it does nothing. I swear i thought jeremy was gonna punch him, he was so visibly pissed and you could just feel the tension and anger comming from him
@@christopherrue1773 I eventually wound up changing my U/W deck to Brago (non-stax version) because every time I played Artiber it turned into Archenemy.
I totally would've sacrificed Frontline Medic to counter that Mass Manipulation heralded by "I'm gonna tap out". Also, how can anyone allow a player to constantly pick up their lands and shuffle them off everybody's view? Wth?!
This is the first season where Stephen didn't take first in the first episode of the season in like 2+ years. It took a director to cut him down to second.
The B/W hybrid mana symbol on the card is considered part of the card's reminder text, and thus has no effect on its color identity. For verification, notice that the script detailing the mechanic is in italics. That bit of text could be left off the card entirety, and mechanically it'd be the same. Crypt Ghast is much the same: it only has a black color identity, and is not considered a white card.
@@rylancromer184 but justins deck wasnt. Atleast not his draws. Also aristocrats isnt really a thing in standard either where i play most of my magic. But i see your point.
@@big53mac Resilience is just killing the person playing GA first in a 3v1 and then going on to play a normal game. Play cancerous commanders, get killed immediately imo.
did no one else notice that stephen was paying too much for his multicolored spells? the cost reductions are separate lines, so blue/white spells cost 2 less.
Couldn't Jeremy use Vannifar on his upkeep before Director Kyle can activate the Sandsower? They shouldn't be able to do anything during the untap step, and then Jeremy would have priority on his upkeep.
That was such a scumbag play from Stephen. I'm a couple weeks late but I'd be pretty disappointed if they don't address it in the next episode. Major kudos to Jeremy for keeping his cool.
Stephen lying about Prahv is really rotten. That's the sort of thing that could lead the the show being much slower and less entertaining. If I were Jeremy I would now insist on reading each and every card Stephen plays in future episodes.
Normally I'm rooting for Jon, but Stevie's politicking this week was great, especially when you could see the seething frustration pouring out of Unbearded Jeremy
It’s disappointing when the whole table focuses the obviously smallest threat. And Jeremy even complains how he is going to kill them all if he gets another turn, immediately kills the fun.
whodalizzard I know somebody answered this but I see so many people still asking this. The w/b part of the card is in the reminder text not the rules text meaning that the reminder text dosent actually exist on the card so any card with extort is just the color of the card itself
I will be immensely disappointed if Director Kyle doesn't come back to play Fblthp once WAR releases.
Dai 大 Or just anybody.
Except Stephen. I will get a bunch of bears together and start punching them one by one if Stephen gets replaced.
Kudos to Jeremy for staying cool regardless of Stephen's tricks. A lesser man would have been triggered and I was proud of you him for keeping his cool!

3:20 - Director Kyle is blowing the competition away. He hasn't even drawn his opening hand and he got first blood ;)
That was kind of a dirty move on Stephens part, granted I don't know if it was on purpose but dirty nonetheless.
That's a Team Green standard
There's no way it wasn't on purpose. And he covered it with a basic AND folded his lands into his hand facing away from Jeremy. Super scummy. That's the kind of thing that makes me root against him.
Game starts 18:50
Get well soon, Jon Suarez!

Stephen doing Jeremy dirty like that was wretched. Hard to keep Team Greening it.

Top deck them lands Director Kyle! Who's ready for pre-release?
Yeeeeeaa, i didn't like that part about stephen not being honest about the land
Umm somethin' fishy going on in New Prahv..."What's that do?" "Oh, nothing..." (shuffles lands furiously so jeremy can't see)
Revoke the point i say
Justin Powernell, is that a name change we can see upcoming in the future? ;-)
I like the random first blood that showed up while talking about John in a death-like state.
With Justin’s first blood Kyle should of had 38 because of Judith
Edit: Kyle should not of gone to 39 when blocking with the lifelike because the blood witch had first strike
If Justin blocks a Wurm with Master of Cruelties and chumps the beast with a goblin at 1:32:10ish, he survives getting punched by the bird that kills him. Tough start to the season for #TeamParnell
Can anyone tell me the deadline and place to submit a "recap" photograph?
Just made an Emmara deck. It is SO much fun.
This is why we need bearded Jeremy back
Always enjoy seeing new commanders used. Great vid guys!
Stephen needs a super soft Birthday party.

Same thing Loading Ready Run did a couple of weeks ago on their Friday Night Paper Fight show. It was good and fun there, hopefully the same here.
There really seems to be no reasonable restriction that makes it not the right move to focus the Vaniffar player.
At 1:39 Kyle could have stopped the mass manipulation with his field medic. With its active abilities
Ravnica Guildpact's of the Guildgates

Wasn’t Justin dead after the big attack from Kyle. Emmara was taped adding a creature making the elemental a 17/17 not 16/16 then Stephen has lethal.

f you wanna have fun use palliation accord in Atraxa stax and let the scooping commence!
Nah dun think id be scooping to an atraxa deck lol
Good episode guys, the director verdict has been give, and he chosen John win because of his timely demise. Rip John
Why wasn’t Jeremy activating Vanifar in response to the tap down?
Sorcery-speed only, like Pod.
Glare of subdual is another option to Sandsower, frankly just better.
This is the first season where Stephen didn't take first in the first episode of the season in like 2+ years. It took a director to cut him down to second.
Isn't blind obedience's color identity B/W due to its extort cost?

Love mutumbo syncopate reference. Sports seem to make a pop up in videos from time to time do yall play any regularly?
I am SHOCKED Jeremy played Simic. He NEVER does that. :P
Yeah he's pretty well known for showing his range. This was a surprise.

im late to the party but cant jeremy just tap vannifar in response to kyle tapping it
SEASON 15 HYPE!!
I feel like the only people who don't hate grand arbiter are the jerks who play him and think it's fun lol
I know a guy that plays Grand Arbiter stax with a $5000-10000 deck. Needless to say I refuse to sit down and play against him.
Thats cuz yall are pussys.

@BAndersJ74 - It is restricted to "when you can cast a Sorcery."
@@erfunk Thanks for pointing that out. I'm dumb. Guess I should have read the whole card.
@@BAndersJ74 - No worries, it's pretty easy to miss a small clause like that.
The photoshop pic should be Justin I’m curse of opulence just dropping coins all other the other guys
Should have used Ravnica basic lands
Someone tell Kyle/Jon/deck’s owner about the much nicer looking full-art Emmara that’s only like $1-$2.
Why did Jeremy not use vanifars ability in response to director Kyle tapping it during his upkeep?
It's a sorcery speed ability
call me crazy but shouldn't Jeremy be able to activate Vannifar in response to Kyle's activated ability attempting to tap it down?
Couldnt Jeremy tap Vannifar in response to Kyle tapping her?
No, her effect is only as a sorcery.
Jeremy is usually my favorite. But he seemed uncharacteristically salty this game. I get it at the end with Stephen. But not earlier on.
Does Justin's shirt say "All Men"
That was such a scumbag play from Stephen. I'm a couple weeks late but I'd be pretty disappointed if they don't address it in the next episode. Major kudos to Jeremy for keeping his cool.
Yeah, shows there is no judging at all during this as that would have resulted in a DQ. Jeremy deserves the win from this one.
The opening wasn't "hey guys welcomebacktocommanderversus. SEASON 15, episode 1". I'm disappointed.
What a scummy move by stephen
Revole the point
Today's word of the day is "Detain"

Stephen honestly deserved to after Justin exiled his commander haakon that he can only cast from the graveyard
Get well soon Suarez
what a surprise. Jeremy is playing simic...
Well i feel ur pain Justin ... i also hate that card xD
Normally I'm rooting for Jon, but Stevie's politicking this week was great, especially when you could see the seething frustration pouring out of Unbearded Jeremy
Oh you mean after he lied knowing the card was gonna be very relevant and then not leaving it on the table for heremey to really even read?
30:55 Jeremy cheating with that 6 CMC spell with only tapping 6 mana
He had a mana dude
It’s disappointing when the whole table focuses the obviously smallest threat. And Jeremy even complains how he is going to kill them all if he gets another turn, immediately kills the fun.
Why is Stephen playing Blind Obedience in an WU deck when extort has WB hybrid?
The reminder text in the Extort mechanic does not count towards color identity.
