i'm a fairly new player so forgive me if i'm asking a stupid question butttttttttt, is commander a form of play like standard/modern/pauper? how is it different? I thought they were just a type of deck you could buy. sorry if this question is so bad it makes you cringe
Bruceskyy yes. Commander is a casual format much like pauper. It takes a 99 card deck and a commander. Your deck must contain cards that are only in your commanders color identity. Its a fun format ment to have communication and magic at the center.
Also, just to set it straight, when translated into Chinese the word 'noble' in Falkenrath Noble was translated as 贵族 (gui4zu2) and 'aristocrat' in Falkenrath Aristocrat as 豪族 (hao2zu2). The first is a direct and accurate translation of the word and the second technically means 'family' though the connotation is that of a powerful, rich, or important group of people.
You all mentioned it many times so I'm sure you're already aware, but YES more commander this is some of the best quality content and you all are an amazing playgroup. Almost halfway through hoping Cam pulls this win out. makes all the blue player jokes that much better seeing this pauper pirate shutting people down, although Kathleen with the indiscriminate board wipes was amazing and Drana is a personal favorite of mine from my W/B Warriors deck in BFZ standard x) But all the decks are super awesome and it's ridic and I'm glad I got to see an all-black edh game.
Peregrine drake costs 4U, and harpy costs UB. Cam had 5 lands, 1 of which taps for UB. Each cast of peregrine drake gives Cam 1 excess mana since it untaps 5 lands. However, to cast the harpy, even after bouncing it back at the cost of 1 life, he requires 2 mana. So Cam loses out on 1 mana with each iteration. Am I crazy or does the 'combo' as described in 1:04:00 make no sense?
I'm a little late to the party but: Shawty growin apples on the trees Birch with the ferns (with the ferns) The whole forest lookin at herrr She tryin'a gro' (tryin'a gro'), next thang you know Shawty got loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam Them hanging pot plants And the seedlings wit the sap (wit the sap) She turned around and gave that big oak tree a smack (AYY!!) She tryin'a gro' (tryin'a gro'), next thang you know Shawty got loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam-loam Cmon
OH MY GOD I SAW THIS ON THE STREAM HIGHLIGHTS ON LIVE FOREVER AGO AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO AND IT'S FINALLY BEEN UPLOADED I'M SO HAPPY GO CAM!!!

I love how different commander playgroups are. This would be a refreshing difference from my store's meta. (Which went from pre-cons to armageddon and stasis in the span of 4 months)
@1:53:00 "Its roots are equally happy to drink the water of a clear stream or the oily blood of a Phyrexian warrior." I never knew I wanted to see a Compleated Treefolk until now.
Pretty cool layout, although perhaps we don't need to see everyone's faces all of the time. The extra space would be great to get a better view of the board and/or the cards after you scan them. I still can't read the cards at full screen 720p.
Dear God I'm glad the mics don't pick up their table tapping. I was listening with a headset and though there was an super intense racquet ball game going on two rooms down xD
This is a replacement effect. It applies last and may apply multiple times to an event. The creature never goes to the original destination zone and will not trigger abilities that trigger based on going there (e.g. "dies" triggers)!
Probably, Kathleen was the best player in the game. She "forsaw" that cameron was gaining too much life and tried to put the attention on him. Cam, my man! great game and thanks for representing blue will.
Ben's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/23-06-17-aristocrats-edh/ Cam's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ramirez-cant-hear-you-until-you-apologize/ Sadly I could not find an up to date version of Graham and Kathleen's lists, but I found an older version of Graham's from the episode of the Command Zone which he was a guest on: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/cmdz-sapling-of-colfenor-graham-stark-lrr/
"Fucking Cameron; let me play Magic the Gathering!!!" Probably my favourite moment, especially because Cam gets to be a wise Blue player. Cam's story about moving to a new town definitely resonated as well :P
2:44:58 - I played a commander game where an opponent played an overloaded cyclonic rift and I countered it with pyroblast. Literally the only time I have had fun with Cyclonic Rift.
so correct me if i'm wrong but i think Graham is playing his commanders attack ability wrong, the card should go to hand either way but he just doesn't get the life triggers?
Is the center of the board, video edited in or did they build/program a contraption to do that "Last card played" overlay? I want to replicate it if possible
A comment on the Overlay. For those of us who are color blind or lean that direction, It is nearly impossible to discern the difference between Graham's and Ben's colors.
a question (without any harmful sides or whatever) if it is all labeled to what is what, does the color even matter at that point? I would understand if some color makes what is written blurry,but if not why would the color matter?
Any time I see that full art Damnation I just get mad because I racked up enough reward points that they were supposed to send me one, and they just never did...
Hey guys I just started running my own commander nights and i was wondering, what do you use to scan the cards with the tablet to have them show up on the screen?
There are only 2 common legendary creatures, Chandler and Jovan, both in mono-red. Cameron's is from Legends which is a set where the symbol did not change based on rarity. It is an Uncommon if I remember correctly.
really did expect some storm combo there, with the drake and the harpy Cause common printed storm cards are banned in pauper, but not in EDH-Pauper hybrid
I thought Cam was going to storm off there. Also that Cheatyface story - he actually legitimately cheated there. You can cheat Cheatyface into play but *only from your hand* - you have to draw it naturally.
The fruit Oot - 99 cards, one of each max, only cards that match your commander's colours (artifacts are okay, unless they have effects that use non-commander colours)
For commander damage is it 21 damage from any of the other 3 players commanders? Like if each enemy commander did 7 damage to you does that kill you? Or does it have to be 21 damage from the same source?
You know what I enjoyed the treefolk jokes like a pun connoisseur sipping at the finest cogniac but Cam's coffee story made me do a metaphorical spit take.
More Commander Please, its realy amazing, would be awesome with a monthly or weekly thing :D Maybe even guest star on Command Zones Game Knights if possible :D
Please sir, I'd like some more.
MTG Muddstah ahhh I love your content too! Anybody reading this, please sub!
i should address this to you, PLEASE SIR MORE 10 MIN COMMANDER SPEEDRUN CONTENT SIR
i'm a fairly new player so forgive me if i'm asking a stupid question butttttttttt, is commander a form of play like standard/modern/pauper? how is it different? I thought they were just a type of deck you could buy. sorry if this question is so bad it makes you cringe
i guess to add to this, are commander decks something you can take to FNM?
Bruceskyy yes. Commander is a casual format much like pauper.
It takes a 99 card deck and a commander. Your deck must contain cards that are only in your commanders color identity. Its a fun format ment to have communication and magic at the center.
yes please, more commander is just what we all want! I sadly missed this live but I would love to catch it live some time.
This is one of my most favorite streams. Just chill, casual kitchen table magic, and I can't wait for more.
Omg monthly commander would be amazing!!!
Just as "The command zone", "Star city Games" and theres one more. but forgot the name.
Yahaaaw194783 Goldfish
HAh ,agree :) but with less "!!!" excitement :)
I've been waiting to see grahams deck for years. Thank you graham for finally showing us this forest of a deck.
this is my first exposure to commander. thank you guys or making the format loos real fun
I like it when they use there own decks better then a pre-con one
the Pre-con one....Remember when Surge had literally 20+ mana turn 4?
any night that you play EDH (commander) is always a good video.
i would love to see some of the new cards played with the planechase cards/deck.
Vanguard Archenemy Commander Planechase!! ... all at the same time.
+conspiracy
And I thought the matchedI have with my play group take a while, hooly
Un-Set constructed anyone?
+Kizer5Red Dear god...
Also, just to set it straight, when translated into Chinese the word 'noble' in Falkenrath Noble was translated as 贵族 (gui4zu2) and 'aristocrat' in Falkenrath Aristocrat as 豪族 (hao2zu2). The first is a direct and accurate translation of the word and the second technically means 'family' though the connotation is that of a powerful, rich, or important group of people.
I love this format so much! Also, 4 black decks makes me SO happy ^^
You all mentioned it many times so I'm sure you're already aware, but YES more commander this is some of the best quality content and you all are an amazing playgroup. Almost halfway through hoping Cam pulls this win out. makes all the blue player jokes that much better seeing this pauper pirate shutting people down, although Kathleen with the indiscriminate board wipes was amazing and Drana is a personal favorite of mine from my W/B Warriors deck in BFZ standard x) But all the decks are super awesome and it's ridic and I'm glad I got to see an all-black edh game.
Time traveler from 2019 here: I like the intro, but the camera angle and Kathleen's seat especially is just weird
More commander
yes plz
spencer jhette is Ben the one with the painted nails
YE
I love Commander and love watching the TH-camrs I love play Commander. Please do these more often!
I'm new to magic and this was immensely fun to watch. Subbing and hoping for more of this great content.
Have everyone play their most competitive decks next time!
We'd love to see Kathleen's 'unfun' deck, Cam's Niv Mizzet deck, etc
Peregrine drake costs 4U, and harpy costs UB. Cam had 5 lands, 1 of which taps for UB. Each cast of peregrine drake gives Cam 1 excess mana since it untaps 5 lands. However, to cast the harpy, even after bouncing it back at the cost of 1 life, he requires 2 mana. So Cam loses out on 1 mana with each iteration.

Kangeroo land.

Cmon
OH MY GOD I SAW THIS ON THE STREAM HIGHLIGHTS ON LIVE FOREVER AGO AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO AND IT'S FINALLY BEEN UPLOADED I'M SO HAPPY GO CAM!!!
Dark Heart of the Wood was the first MTG card I ever saw, back around the winter of 1994. The cool artwork stuck in my mind!
Omg Cam yeeees you inspire me. That was a work of art. I love Dimir
A whole Commander Deck with just commons? Cameron, you are just too cool for this. :D
Need more of this
"I have...6 decks. I have a lot." -Graham.
I have 17. At least one for each tri-color combo, and one for each quad-color combo.

Jund - Prossh Sacrifice & Death
Naya - Samut Multicolor

Greenless- Akiri & Silas Renn Artifact Toolbox
No one asked
Please do more commander, I would watch it every single time you post it on TH-cam!
Ben's "FUCKING CAMERON!!!" was so SO real, I laughed so much
Cam: “Do you remember the G.I. Joe PSA’s from EbaumsWorld?”
This just made my day!
I see Graham finish counting when Kathleen forgets where she left off and I see the embodiment of marriage
I really wanna see Kathleen's unfun deck in archenemy as her as the Archenemy!
an Un-Deck in EDH/Archenemy? that's crazy talk
Kizer5Red ? I meant the "Real" deck she mentioned at the beginning, saying it's "unfun"
Been there, played against that. Not fun for anyone, sadly.
I love long ass episodes, no sarcasm. Most youtubers dont do them anymore.
I love the layout. I hope to catch the live stream next time.
I love how different commander playgroups are. This would be a refreshing difference from my store's meta. (Which went from pre-cons to armageddon and stasis in the span of 4 months)
@1:53:00
"Its roots are equally happy to drink the water of a clear stream or the oily blood of a Phyrexian warrior."
I never knew I wanted to see a Compleated Treefolk until now.
I watched this liv e but it's actually better on TH-cam, I really hope you do way more of these!
More of this plz. Love you guys coming with your own fun brews.
I have a newfound respect for Graham's perseverance
Both Ben's and Cam's nails make me incredibly happy!
This was on my B-Day!
Pretty cool layout, although perhaps we don't need to see everyone's faces all of the time. The extra space would be great to get a better view of the board and/or the cards after you scan them. I still can't read the cards at full screen 720p.
Dear God I'm glad the mics don't pick up their table tapping. I was listening with a headset and though there was an super intense racquet ball game going on two rooms down xD
why is it cameron can cast a instant 1:50 and dont pay the land?. i payed the land befor his turn but turned the lands again.???
This was the first thing ive seen of LRR, insta subbed
Ha, I love how Kathleen is brutally honest ,"And, smoke week two hours ago."
I thought she said smoke weed lol
This is a replacement effect. It applies last and may apply multiple times to an event.
The creature never goes to the original destination zone and will not trigger abilities that trigger based on going there (e.g. "dies" triggers)!
50:22 "Fucking Cameron! Let me play Magic the Gathering!"
I'm dead
The commander replacement effect happens before hitting the graveyard, but after dieing. Meaning it dies, but doesn't end up in the graveyard.
"Fucking Cameron! Can any of us play Magic or spells???!!!" Holy, that made my day though
N Stevens That's basically my Baral deck
saw drana and had to watch
Kathleen you make my inner vampire tribal lover happy :)
Probably, Kathleen was the best player in the game. She "forsaw" that cameron was gaining too much life and tried to put the attention on him.
Cam, my man! great game and thanks for representing blue will.
Magic: The Gathering of Puns
Joshua Jamieson oh my gosh i suck at puns but find them funny once in awhile if its not someone i hear them from all the time
Ben's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/23-06-17-aristocrats-edh/
Cam's List: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ramirez-cant-hear-you-until-you-apologize/
Sadly I could not find an up to date version of Graham and Kathleen's lists, but I found an older version of Graham's from the episode of the Command Zone which he was a guest on: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/cmdz-sapling-of-colfenor-graham-stark-lrr/
"Fucking Cameron; let me play Magic the Gathering!!!"
Probably my favourite moment, especially because Cam gets to be a wise Blue player.
Cam's story about moving to a new town definitely resonated as well :P
Where are the deck lists?
The Strange Brew episode/GGR references were great. How long did it take to shoot that scene during pre-release?
Anyone know where to get the sleeves graham is using? So awesome!
Love the AFK stuff guys and gals!
Graham, if you add Abzan for your deck with Doran, you could get more access to defense
31:29 "She hit the dirt, but nobody heard" XD
What'cha gonna do with all that junk, all that junk, in her trunk...
2:44:58 - I played a commander game where an opponent played an overloaded cyclonic rift and I countered it with pyroblast. Literally the only time I have had fun with Cyclonic Rift.
Cam: "ramirez is the only legendary printed at common" Dominaria: "hold my beer"
Somebody should tell Cam that Ramirez was reprinted lol
What? WHAT!? There was a commander stream that I missed? Really would love if this were more regular content.
what are they referencing around the 56:00 - 58:00 minute mark?
so correct me if i'm wrong but i think Graham is playing his commanders attack ability wrong, the card should go to hand either way but he just doesn't get the life triggers?
Your interface is beautiful ! Great job
i can feel cold sweat running on my back when a blue player says things like "oh interessting". As a white green black player Cam terrifies me
Is the center of the board, video edited in or did they build/program a contraption to do that "Last card played" overlay? I want to replicate it if possible
Love the painted nails Ben
I love that Ben rocks painted nails, and that's an awesome colour!
What is in the center that you use to scan the cards? Just curious.
A comment on the Overlay. For those of us who are color blind or lean that direction, It is nearly impossible to discern the difference between Graham's and Ben's colors.
mithrane the outline connectes to the bok around them just follow the line
Ashark7773 Gaming that does not help with commander damage blocks. Either way, it is a design critique to help make future videos better.
mithrane ok i see what you are saying I thought you just ment what player goes to what board that was my bad
a question (without any harmful sides or whatever) if it is all labeled to what is what, does the color even matter at that point? I would understand if some color makes what is written blurry,but if not why would the color matter?
From a design perspective, color always matters. But yes, labels would help.
What's the name of the store for the wooden deck boxes? Can't make out the name from the audio.
Any time I see that full art Damnation I just get mad because I racked up enough reward points that they were supposed to send me one, and they just never did...
J
Hey guys I just started running my own commander nights and i was wondering, what do you use to scan the cards with the tablet to have them show up on the screen?
About time Wizards tried to make official deck boxes that can hold a sleeved commander deck, WyrmWood Gaming!
May I say, Kathleen looks amazing with that new haircut!
There are only 2 common legendary creatures, Chandler and Jovan, both in mono-red. Cameron's is from Legends which is a set where the symbol did not change based on rarity. It is an Uncommon if I remember correctly.
Online sets count.
Pauper players love online sets shifting rarity down to common even though when only ever physically printed at higher rarities :D
do u think cam is running storm crow?
really did expect some storm combo there, with the drake and the harpy
Cause common printed storm cards are banned in pauper, but not in EDH-Pauper hybrid
i know right its cam we are talking about cam!!!!!
Kizer5Red loop
Kizer5Red loop
O
Kizer5Red ooooo
any decklists for these decks I'm particularly intrigued by cam's deck
I thought Cam was going to storm off there.
Also that Cheatyface story - he actually legitimately cheated there. You can cheat Cheatyface into play but *only from your hand* - you have to draw it naturally.
Plz I beg you to tell me how do you build a deck! I have the same commander as Ben...
The fruit Oot - 99 cards, one of each max, only cards that match your commander's colours (artifacts are okay, unless they have effects that use non-commander colours)
For commander damage is it 21 damage from any of the other 3 players commanders? Like if each enemy commander did 7 damage to you does that kill you? Or does it have to be 21 damage from the same source?
commander damage is specific for each player, so one commander needs to deal the full 21 damage to defeat a player
Where do you guys get those slightly bigger blue dice?! I need a dozen of those.
Yes I love commander streams! More more!
would genuinely love to play kam's all-common deck
I'd love another channel doing well done commander videos regularly
The treefolk pun song won my sub. 👌👌👌
3:07:04 that moment when Graham effes your name but Ben fixes it lmfao
You know what I enjoyed the treefolk jokes like a pun connoisseur sipping at the finest cogniac but Cam's coffee story made me do a metaphorical spit take.
When Commander 2017 comes out, I'm expecting to see Kathleen pilot the Cat Commander
Did they ever end up releasing the deck lists? Mostly interested in Camerons.
More Commander Please, its realy amazing, would be awesome with a monthly or weekly thing :D Maybe even guest star on Command Zones Game Knights if possible :D
7 months later, they actually appear on game knights! :D
durge12 hopefully they reappear again.
It's really funny, because I know that exact ruling due to the fact that I pilot Omnath and always have to be reminded of that trigger.
Ben has the best smile
Can we get the deck lists for these decks?
When all you hear is "Drana" and you know what's coming next
Was Cameron playing searing blaze in his commander deck?!
Oh Graham went to the Plastic Beach tour as well?! I got that shirt! It shrunk so much and now its a girl friend shirt :p
Is Cameron's list online anywhere? seems really cool
deckbox.org/sets/1736922
If you watch Cam's face you can see the moment "apple bottom trees" pops into his head.
"I agree with you HarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrderDaddy" - Graham rofl that killed me so nonchalant
