a little late but jimmy doesn't owe graham a favour anymore when he decided to destroy that library-to-graveyard card (yes, i forgot the name). a favour would mean letting jimmy activate that ability when he wants to, not destroying that card and forcing jimmy to activate the ability that turn. graham even stated his intention to go back on his word in post which would be obvious to me if i was playing as jimmy. i would have done the opposite and swung at graham that turn when jimmy said he was returning the favour cause graham broke the deal first.

even after more than a year, this is still one of my favourite Game Knights episodes. First of all because your guests from LRR are just great. In addition, this is definitely one of those games that took an insane amount of swings and turns.
I've watched a lot of episodes this month and this one is easily the best by a long shot. A few have come close at points but this episode was peaking from turn one.
You could also argue that the deck was simply good enough to win through several Butcher of Malakir/Dictate of Eribos board wipes - give some respect to the deck !

@@bobdole8830 i'm not a fan too of these kind of decks but let's be honest: The bear deck vs the others would have never won. In the mid late game they didn't mind about him for like 3-4 turns and still he wouldn't have been able to win if josh didn't destroy dictate of herebos and other stuff to balance the game while he was dying so it was absolutely not of his concern to help one particular player. Also jimmy clearly should have take into account the blockers and life total when he attacked on his last turn. What happens here on game knights is super entertaining and stuff but it doesn't always portray how a game of commander actually works. Be careful i'm not blaming them show or whatever because it's logical that the episode can't last 30 mins or a player doesn't get knocked out in the first 15 minutes. However sometimes they make decisions for entertaining purpose and that does not happen when you play a normal commander game.
Gavin Stewart it’s a lot of fun, normally green should be about huge creatures or swarm live elves. It I am happy bear force 1 performed, it needs improvements, but you know I was happy for that deck

My dad actually has a really good Goat deck. He beat all of his Magic playing student with it XD (he's a professor). He's been wanting to make a goat tribal deck, and as of recently a squirrel deck. Maybe the new unsanctioned can help with that.
Graham is my favorite on Game Knights. He's hilarious but I feel he really enjoys the game in the silly ways, which is something I also enjoy. "I finally get to make a BEAR DECK!!"
I feel like RnD watched this when making the new sets “I have no reason to play snow lands in this deck” RnD: really? Okay, boom kaldheim snow bear. “Bears never went to college” RnD: Shoot! Can’t have that can we? Bam collage bears!
Oh god I literally woke up my roommates by laughing too loud. This is BY FAR the funniest Game Knights. And I love how each player sort of represented different styles of commander players (Kathleen being super value oriented, Josh with his tight political and technical play, Jimmy by building this Rube Goldberg machine that seemed super complicated but tons of fun, and Graham being that one tribal guy who has fun no matter what happens). And the editing seemed to level up too, that Cyclonic Rift was beautiful. Thanks for the amazing content guys
The editing and added animations just might be my favorite thing in your videos. So many little details added.... like the 1:05:05 Cyclonic Rift resolving animation, individually removing each card from the table. Masterpiece of design!
I know your comment is supposed to meme, but Josh actually started playing quite conservatively with his life total when he was still hovering around 20 life.
What more could I ask for? Bear Force One, Graham & Cathleen, and by far the most awkward Hermit Druid activation that I’ve seen? Best Game Knights ever.

Theres no surprise that Graham is playing his pet deck Bear Force 1!
Gavin Stewart it’s a lot of fun, normally green should be about huge creatures or swarm live elves. It I am happy bear force 1 performed, it needs improvements, but you know I was happy for that deck
I heard about this deck before I'd even watched an LRR video...it is like the Turin Shroud, for how legendary it is in my mind now!
I've now watched this three times. Probably my favorite Game Knights!
Same! Bear force one pulling it off has to be one of the most memorable moments
All Hail the Bear Force #1 !
That Ending was amazing :D
Hail!
I for one welcome our new bear overlords.
Oh I pin the blame on River Bear now being a 7 dollar card solely on this, thanks Graham
This is my favorite episode of game knights. The game and the decks were awesome, and so was the editing! Definitely the best so far!
I love how Josh and Kathleen’s dying wish was for the bear deck to win as they tried their hardest to make that dream a reality. Bear Force #1 is so iconic for me and some of my friends.
I actually spat out my drink when Hermit Druid only got the one land. (13:45)
Yeah I almost bust a gut Funniest moment of GK by far
I had a gut feeling that was coming. I've had that happen before, and it sucks!
I FUCKING CALLED IT lmao
I once had a deck where the only non-permanent cards were a pair of Primal Surges. I cast one, flipped a forest, hit the other. Did not feel good XD
BEARS. BEARS. BEARS FTW !!!!!
I cannot even express how happy I am. BEAR FORCE ONE !!!!
Don't you mean.. Bear Force Won?
Game thrown on purpose for dramatic effect?
@@ToonLinksDair oh what an unBEARably sad possiblity, that they would BEAR down on the actual winner and coerce him to throw the match like a can of BEAR.......
I'm sorry
@@ToonLinksDair I think he actually did just overreach, also technically graham could have won at any point when it was the two of them by simply calling in his favor to ask for no blocks :p though I am really happy he only used it to 'let the bears finish the job'
NOBLE BEASTS
Jimmy: "I didn't do the math.... math is for blockers" LMAO
Talk about famous last words
I got you to 69 likes so your welcome
Top 10 anime phrases before beeing defeated
HOLY SHIT THE BEARS WON! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS COULD I HAVE SEEN THAT OUTCOME! WHAT AN EPISODE! ALSO, BEARS VS PLANTS IS VERY FUNNY! BEST GAME KNIGHTS EVER! AWESOME JOB GRAHAM. YOU EARNED IT BUDDY.
just bearly
"Don't do goat tribal!" Now that's a sequel to Bear Force One nobody knew they wanted: Goat Squad Alpha
Now I'm not saying that deck would be the GOAT but...
Goat Group Gamma
Goat Force Giga
Yes, all my yes to this idea
My dad actually has a really good Goat deck. He beat all of his Magic playing student with it XD (he's a professor).
He's been wanting to make a goat tribal deck, and as of recently a squirrel deck. Maybe the new unsanctioned can help with that.
Graham is my favorite on Game Knights. He's hilarious but I feel he really enjoys the game in the silly ways, which is something I also enjoy.
"I finally get to make a BEAR DECK!!"
Jimmy: mAth Is FoR blOcKerS.
Graham: Well yes but actually no.
"Bears famously never went to college"
well Kathleen, I think the new set has something to tell you-
It's perfect that there bear professor from the Quandrix precon commander deck supports Graham's deck so well
@@jackkojima5658 it really does
I hope he added Wilson too. I want to see Bear-Force-2
I love graham’s bear deck. BEAR FORCE 1!!!! As my favor, can you let the bears finish the job!
Actual players: that is terrible git Gud
Graham: DoNt lEt yOuR meMEs be DreAmS
1:29:02
- If I may...
- Yes?
- As a favor...
- Oh no!
- Could you let the bears finish the job?
by Ghast The Bears deserve to finish him off
"Who is he to deny the bears their meal?"
I can't NOT subscribe after seeing this...
The twists, the characters, the ending... This is not just a good magic game, this is a good story!
Greatest ending ever! Bear force one more like Bear Force Won!
It's Christmas, lrr, game knights, Graham with bear Force one (Which is a call back to Friday Nights) gotta love it!
Good Guy Graham: Plays a fair bear deck.
Wins Game Knights.
"Fair Bear" Bears are to OP to be fair.
Plays a totally yank Bear Tribal. Wins
I feel like RnD watched this when making the new sets
“I have no reason to play snow lands in this deck”
RnD: really? Okay, boom kaldheim snow bear.
“Bears never went to college”
RnD: Shoot! Can’t have that can we? Bam collage bears!
Oh god I literally woke up my roommates by laughing too loud. This is BY FAR the funniest Game Knights. And I love how each player sort of represented different styles of commander players (Kathleen being super value oriented, Josh with his tight political and technical play, Jimmy by building this Rube Goldberg machine that seemed super complicated but tons of fun, and Graham being that one tribal guy who has fun no matter what happens).
And the editing seemed to level up too, that Cyclonic Rift was beautiful. Thanks for the amazing content guys
"Just let me activate Hermit Druid once"
"ok"
*mills whole library and wins game on turn 3*
"ugh"
Yeah that was a really short Game Knights episode. Surprised they didnt just cut it and try again.
What episode was it
@@jacobcraighead3627 You're pretty clueless aren't you?
@@TheRaon75 I know I am clueless, but I meant to reply to the other guy because he made it sound like that actually happened.
I had a feeling it was gonna get 1 card only the way it was getting hyped up
That was an unbearable ending. Truly a grizzly fate.
XonereX don’t you mean ‘Clawse’
BEARS! Ahahaha
Fuck you and your jokes
A year ago, but still hilarious.
"Bears never went to college.... until Quandrix"
YES
Actually, there is the professor of zoomancy, which is more witherbloom than quandrix
That game had poetic justice. Bearpocalypse 2019!
The editing and added animations just might be my favorite thing in your videos. So many little details added.... like the 1:05:05 Cyclonic Rift resolving animation, individually removing each card from the table. Masterpiece of design!
Josh: "Oh no, that 3/3 River bear, and all those blood artist triggers... I'm at 14?!"
Also Josh: Shockland untapped; Ancient Tomb shocks me...
I know your comment is supposed to meme, but Josh actually started playing quite conservatively with his life total when he was still hovering around 20 life.
13:22 I felt that whiff in my heart
Graham running Bear Force One. Living the dream. :3
Their faces when they realized they have never been knighted.😆
"Does it have protection from Bears?" 😂
Pro bear
Alex Burks Nothing has protection from Bear’s
@@playerslayer1787 I mean...Progenitus, lol.
Raphael Dean There’s a fine print On it that says except bears
If it did, it would literally be un-bear-able.
3 years later, and this is still up there with the first fan episode as the best episode of game knights ever
What more could I ask for? Bear Force One, Graham & Cathleen, and by far the most awkward Hermit Druid activation that I’ve seen? Best Game Knights ever.
"Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"
What a game! ❤️
"HOW QUICKLY THE TIDE TURNS!"
in time, we all knew the tragic extent of Jimmy's failings
"A SINGULAR STRIKE"
darkest dungeon
Kathleen, on Yawgmoth - "he compleats me"
Underrated joke of the episode
Oh, wow--I totally missed that reference!
Hmm?
I would have liked this, but you don't know how to spell.
@@namename8004 Compleation is the Phyrexian term for turning a being into a Phyrexian. Enjoy your snobbery though, it's not at all like you look like a tool.
Except I don't look like a tool, because that wasn't the word I was referring to. Take another look at the comment, dipshit.
21:03 is probably my favorite political moment in all of game knights. The deal is so clean. So fair. I love it.
"I deserved everything that just happened, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it." Is such a mood.
Bear Force One 100% win rate now he can retire the deck as the champion
technically the skit graham did that coin the deck as bear force one, lost, so it's kinda 1-1
It's not Graham has tried this before, like pre any bear support it was much worse.
Graham != James, so as much as we wish this deck to remain the undefeated champion.
I'm willing to bet we'll see it again soon when LRR plays Commander on their Friday Night Paper Fight.
@@heinousrat9019 true but if I remember the reason he made it then is cus it was a joke that he wanted to build to be a real deck but the proto type wasn't that good at all, at least this version can do things
Love it
And the entire time, Josh is thinking "I should have kept Urza as my commander. 😐"
The video would have been 25 minutes and alot easier to edit
@@andrebogardus8098 would've been a quick episode indeed
Eh, it would have been even more everyone gang up against him. So maybe?
Still dies to River Bear.
This video made me so happy. Seeing a deck that someone made just to have fun, which includes a bunch of bears, and wins, its just so beautifil
