    Apologies for two things: 1) When the video initially went live, TH-cam added a TON more ads than normal. We fiddled with some settings and hopefully that should be fixed now. Definitely having that number of ads was not something we intended. 2) Slight spoiler here so don't read if you haven't watched the episode ----- there's a small misplay made with Moraug, which is a strangely worded card. I'm sure we'll talk about it during the Roundtable, but yes we're aware of it. We just had no way to fix it once we noticed during the edit. Doubt it affected the game much. Ok that's it. Hope you all enjoy the episode! -JLK

    This hands downs was the best episode of Game Knights, so much interaction from all players I couldn't have asked for a better episode, and the fact that all decks had the opportunity to flourish and show their unique strengths was amazing 10/10. On a side note the fact that Jimmy almost had an infinity gauntlet moment where his commander almost took all of the commanders in the table that was a sight to see.

    A idea I had today for a future Game Knights episode. A game of alternate win/lose conditions. Each deck contains at least one alternate win/lose condition and each player is actively trying to win with this in mind. E.G. one player is trying to get all the guildgates and win with Maze's End, while another is trying to fiddle with everyone's life totals so they will lose with Triskaidekaphobia, another is trying to self mill and win with Laboratory Maniac, and the last player is doing shenanigans' to win with Happily Ever After.

    It didn't make much of a difference, but there is a little mistake with Moraug: he gives you extra combat steps, BUT he doesnt make you untap your creatures during your 'regular' combat step. So, to fully take advantage of his ability, you should first do the normal combat step, then go to second main phase, and then trigger your landfall effects there (or have vigilance on all your creatures, then you can do what you want in any order)
