Kibler needs a T-shirt which says 'I played Decimate and all I got was this Brushwagg'.
Kibler? You mean Kyle Hill?
Jimmy misses land drops, Josh nearly kills himself from drawing cards, Jimmy ACTUALLY kills himself out of spite, and the circle of life continues.
Kills himself with a land. The irony is what did him in.
I used to think Jimmy got really unlucky, but at this point, I think he just builds super greedy and doesn't play enough lands in his deck. It happens way too regularly to him.
@@zephyl7786
maybe there was one commader game a long time ago where he gets flooded so badly he swear upon the gods to never build a deck with enough lands
@@zephyl7786so jimmy actually posted his stats for that in a comment and he runs the average number of lands people do with 35 to 38 lands
Jimmy actually posts his deck lists on archidekt. He includes a normal, if not higher than average, amount of lands in all his decks (35-38)
Jimmy really needs to realize five lands isn't enough for a 100 card deck.
What sucks is he is running the most lands of all four decks, its the curse! or he takes sus mulligans
@@TheSOULKNIGHTMARE35 lands just doesn't cut it either, he probably needs closer to 38. It's only 3 more but it makes a difference.
@dinacusic7829 He runs more than everyone else almost every game. The point is he has more and never gets to draw them. He either has bad luck, or the game is slightly scripted for him to have that happen to him all the time as a joke.
@@animegopher does he lack strong draw engineS? I haven't watched enough to know.
@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 No, not at all. He has really great draw engines. The problem is that he seems to miss his land drops regardless. Either that or he doesn't get to a draw engine. Or both. His draws are historically bad almost every episode. And another thing that happens is other players target him often despite the fact that he almost never wins. Which is why I think it's SOMEWHAT scripted.
I love when someone says "if I can get to my next turn, I'll win" and then I check the clock and there's still an hour on the video. That's when you know everything is about to go horribly, horribly wrong for them.
"And nothing can go wrong.... OH NO IT ALL WENT WRONG!"
Brian Kibler really went from King Arthur to Merlin in five years
I was like Game Knights isn't that old wth? I mean he doesn't look old but rather just babyfaced by comparison without the beard.
@@Varrick111 oh yeah no disrespect meant by the comment. I just think that it's kind of funny how everyone in this episode looks the same as they did when they first appeared on the show, and Brian now looks like a wizened wizard
@@Varrick111nah he looks pretty old, I know plenty of people in their early 40’s without that much grey. Proves how stressful magic is 😂
@@MrDeeluv1996some grey looks good tho
W pfp
"How does anyone believe anything I say?"
Is the best line from Game Knights, years in the making
Mmhmm! It's funny because we don't. 😂
“I played a huge turn of Commander and all I got was this Brushwagg” is a shirt design waiting to be made
Tshirt design is brushwagg eating a stick.
I think you may have inspired the next Kickstarter and I am for it
Someone please make it happen :O
Jimmy saying "Nice, that's so cool dude" when Kibler payed the 1 for Esper Sentinel had so much pain behind it lol
It's not game night unless Jimmy doesn't draw lands
Maybe someday he'll figure out he needs to put lands in the deck in order to draw them. HA! just kidding.
That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
Jimmy should grab his five strongest decks on the podcast and ask the big question how do I draw lands?
Jimmy needs to build decks with lands 😂
Maybe he should have more than 33 in his decks... 😄
I love how Rachel was able to make an actually fair enchantments deck that was still both solidly good and interesting to see played.
Somehow every single time Rachel appears in some EDH gameplay she brings an awesome deck. She's one of the most creative deck builders around imo
@@FPRobber ikr
But the deck is soo boring. Why ppl like the deck. If i would play a deck like this i would lose every game
@@flauschicardits not abt winning tho; it's abt having fun
@@flauschicard skill issue
Best line in the episode:
"I'm just horrified that he was even considering eating the dog." Josh Lee Kwai talking about Brian Kibler.
Seeing Brian actively trying not flicking his cards is hilarious.
This game really illustrates just how underrated Gylwain’s ability really is. All the triggers and little synergies really add up over time. Really cool commander.
yep i am gonna switch my faerie commander after this one
@@pierluigiadreani2159Gylwain is the Selesnya one with the Role tokens
Yes, it's one of the commanders I am building. Some really neat new cards for it in Wilds of Eldraine also.. Can't wait till I get my deck and cards.
It also makes some of the modified creatures that where not impressive a lot better. :D
"Every creature etb also gives you an enchantment etb" is insane
Josh: "Okay everybody, please coordinate your playmat and sleeve colors"
Colorblind Kibler: "I gotchu fam"
Nah he got it right, green on the sleeves and red on the playmat, representing both colors of his commander.
@@CleanupCrew45 Was about to comment that ! He presented the Gruul colors perfectly.
Can’t believe they got KYLE FREAKING HILL FOR THIS EPISODE!!!
Last time here was there was when Jimmy was filming Mulan
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
That guest fella looks like when mom says “we have Kyle Hill at home.”
Great value thor
This game was wild. That was probably the most interaction I've seen on this show in a long time.
”Go ahead.. Bake my day” might just be my favourite ”lets play”-line ever
Yea Jimmy won that one best line I've heard so far in all game knights 😂
I dunno, "Places!? Places Everyone!" was pretty spot on
Ahem. "I hippopota-must win!"
Draw 9, discard 9, goes to 9, Sean Plott is somewhere in the multiverse feeling very happy with all this on brand game actions
I'm convinced they replace a third of Jimmy's lands before games
2/3
Naw its 1/2 they give them to josh since he never misses lands
With Food tokens.
Jimmy misses land drops and Josh draws cards at expense of his life. Classic Game Knights
Glad you have brought back Kyle Hill, it's really been a while
😂😂😂
Lol
Peak comedy here 😂
Award winning* science educator Kyle Hill!
I saw the thumbnail and I was gonna make the joke but you already did it
This joke will never not be funny
On this episode of Josh Wins Games… Josh draws 90 cards and counterspells his way to victory
Exactly as it should be. :)
Josh should be banned from playing blue
Also used c.rift and somehow managed to keep all his artifacts..hmmmmm......
@@Deathgaming_7 C. rift only hits non-land permanents you don't control. his artifacts were always going to be ok.
Hey look it's me
Been watching y’all’s stuff, keep it up!
I kinda want to see Josh use a non control deck, maybe mono red? He just seems to play blue control with lots of drawing 90% of the time so it would be interesting to see how he would do outside his comfort zone
Right. We didn’t get the R study at least, but it’s doe seem repetitive. To each their own play style, but I’ve seen more interesting decks even if they fail by other players and just seem yon see JLK more than once just go through 50-75% of his deck too often.
He does play a lot of control/value engine decks, it's kind of his thing, but I recall an Athreos Shadowborn Apostle deck that he played one time and I thought it was pretty cool
“How does anyone believe anything I say 😂”
-Josh 2023
Just commenting to say I love everytime when Rachel is at the table! Always such cool and creative decks ❤
It feels insane that it took this long to get Brian Kibler back on to the show
I mean he's got his own show now. And I don't think him and Olivia live around LA
Well not too surprising.
You mean Kyle hill?
I'm not complaining.
@@grungivaldigurnisson5115 I see your point but Olivia has been how many times in comparison? And that’s not counting the couple of times she came in for extra turns.
I’m not complaining I’m just surprised is all.
Josh putting Black Market Connections into the graveyard is like making Voldemort destroy a Horcrux
Well Voldemort did destroy one of his own Horcrux's and did have 7 other once, just like josh had 7 cards in his hand after discrading the black market connection.
@@helderboymhHarry ist one of the Steven horcruxes, so He hast six other ones
@@mcbescheiden725yeah so Voldemort had 8 total Horcrux's
@@helderboymh no, Harry is number 7
@@helderboymh PS: Google ist youre friend
Jimmy really had all the 7 lands in his deck in play! Impressive!
Jimmy is the kind of guy to draw a hand of no lands when 92 of the cards in the deck are lands
Always fun to see a Gameknights game with so much interaction!
I'm really surprised Josh didn't play Hylda of the Icy Crown with how much he loves tapping shenanigans
True but everyone knows his true love for flash and flash payoffs
Oh wow, Josh playing a blue deck is something that I never would expect
And nobody focused him the whole game....
Yeah im a bit bored of joshs play style, super cocky and unfun...
@joejohnson3393 you're allowed to think it's unfun, but you're projecting on the cocky part. Let people have fun in they're own ways and don't gatekeep it
@@Kristjan0209 those are in Jimmy's deck
@@luemece you right
Imagine if they ever got Henry Cavill on here
I would watch the living %*#& out of that.
I could imagine him bringing a upgraded warhammer deck
I didn't know he plays Magic.
@@jacobd1984 Warhammer, but admit...... if ANY celeb would be willing to give it a go, it's him.... I imagine him inviting Post Malone for Warhammer once and him introducing Henry to Magic :P
@jacobd7395 idk if he does either but I know he's into rpgs. Hopeful thinking lol
just wanna take a sec to show appreciation for the editor/editors here, y’all did an amazing job here!
I also love the card explanations, really helps a new player like myself understand what’s going on.
Im just getting back into magic after a 20+ year hiatus and this series has been keeping me entertained for hours a night! I learn a ton just watching play. This episode was incredible, so many twists and turns!
Brian Kibler's show Commander at Home is also a fantastic watch and a lot of fun. If you're interested in seeing some of the more powerful interactions in the format I would also recommend Playing with Power MTG, they play and build CEDH decks and though it's not really what I like to do when I deck build, it's fascinating to see all the complex interactions that they have.
This episode was so fire! Sad to see Brian not pop off more but I’m dying to build all these decks now! If only there was a place i could buy em all lol
I've never played with it, but I have played against it a few times and it really does feel like this is an issue Agatha decks tend to run into. It feels like it promises you the world, but only gives you a Brushwagg. From just an observer's standpoint, it feels cumbersome to get going and can be incredibly fragile for something that needs to compete with 3 opponents.
I always love when Rachel plays on GK
Kibler got me into HS way back when dragon priest was causing havoc
Same here
You're welcome/I'm sorry?
Spent a lot of middle and high school watching Kibler. Awesome to see him at the Commander table.
Great episode and feels a lot more organic than a lot of other GK games
Yet another absolutely iconic Game Knights game. Jimmy struggles with his own lands, Josh draws thousands of cards and does crazy combos, and both guests got a chance to do something crazy with their decks when given the chance. These are my favorite episodes.
Jimmy doesn’t draw lands and Josh draws 76 cards. Looks like a good day of magic.
Also….did Crim make that deck for Josh? He has a trademark on having that many counterspells
by drawing like 80 cards you will automatically have all your counterspells in your hand. they were just stupid by wasting their resources on each other instead of keeping an eye on josh. i will not understand why you won't attack or remove stuff from the player who just drew 20 cards. especially if it's a guy like josh who just builds his deck with powerful staples all the time. it's getting boring to see him win all the time because they can't do proper thread assessment. cool episode and spicy play nonetheless. i don't want to sound to negative haha
34:46 You can see the pain on Rachel's face. It hurts when you see another friends deck wrecking their night; be it mana flood or screw. Sorry peoples, I know how both feel😢
Brian is such an awesome guy. Hope to see him on more Game Knights.
The Agatha deck seems so strong
It felt really good at replaying Agatha every turn.
It has very strong combos but is heavily reliant on Agatha. Players with good threat assessment are going to target her with removal.
@@Dragon_Fyre ye old "dies to removal" argument
@@iforget9694 It’s not so much an issue that it can be removed, as that the rest of the deck is severely diminished when you do. Most of their activated abilities are difficult to take advantage of without Agatha, so you can ignore them and key your focus on Agatha.
@@iforget9694 Most things die to removal but some cards have a bigger target on them.
Brian is so fun to watch. His decks are always gas. I know what my next build is now!
You have excellent taste
@@commanderathome weekend made! Reply from the top G!
well, his deck did nothing in this game or did I miss it?
Would be cool if Josh played ANYTHING but blue. It's nice to step out of your comfort zone and not be so reliant on the same gameplay every video...
But then he wouldn't win. 😂
I had started playing MTG in 2011, and got my very first commander deck in 2013, and eventually got burned out due to toxicity of certain playing groups in 2015, and stepped away from Magic, then at the beginning of this year I got back into commander and Game Knights is definitely to thank for that. I never thought I would get back into Magic, and I’m having more fun than ever.
Ah, so it was Agatha all along...
I've been watching Kibler playing Hearthstone on his Twitch/TH-cam channel for so many years. His Commander at Home series is what brought me back to Magic after 10+ years away from the game, and since then I've been watching Commander games nonstop 😂
You're the man Kibler
Little dissapointed that neither of the wonder twins will be in this game, but im excited to see it anyway
I really want to see a Rowan slam rakdos return for 10 and just ruin someone's day
@@thezerowulf2046 that's brutal but paying 99% of your life (like 30), then activating rowan, then casting Exsanguinate so that you gain triple the life you lost this turn is gonna be crazy
@@Indy-the-soup for sure
Nobody ever targeting Josh no matter how scary he gets is a recurring theme on the Command Zone and it's hard not to think about pre-made agreements given his insane win rate on the shows.
it's in the contract
Thats what i am saying its almost unwatchable at this point
I only come to see a certain commander that I might like. Not a channel I come to for the actual game play. Its just the GameShow of channels.
Yeah pretty much. Rachel said it perfectly
Only watch for the super cool guests and Kibler is definitely one I’ll always watch. Other than that it’s the same old everyone ignores Josh BS week after week.
Im surprised Jimmy didnt build Rowan, whats more Rakdos than that
True that, i really thought both of the wonder twins would be in the episode, rowan seems like a really strong deck too.
Idk if Rowan makes good Game Knights material. It leans so heavily towards the obvious combo haymakers (Bola's Citadel, Ad Nauseum, Necropotence) that it seems weird to build it high power but fair like GK leans toward.
@em688 true it might finish games too early, like with Crackle with power
I really liked seeing Kibler on the show, it feels like he's the 1st person I've seen on the show actually pay the one on things like esper sentinel triggers
This was a spicy episode with all the Role Play!
Yeah no this deck is way too dangerous in Josh's hands, sneaky sneaky guy xD But hey, very cool episode, and it's very nice to see Kyle Hill on this channel again, it's been a while =)
The classic "i go out my way" route. Great game to watch. Cant wait to see the next one.
I remember buying a Naya zoo aggro worlds deck with Brian's name on it when I was new to magic. He's an icon.
I'm always so happy to see slightly older Kyle Hill on GK!
All jokes aside, I'm really excited to FINALLY see The Kibbs on GK!!! I was thinking about this the other day, and I'm glad the universe stepped up to the plate.
Somewhere out there, Olivia is DYING
Play Decimate = get Brushwagg
My unrealistic goal is to one day make it onto Game Knights without having to be a patreon. 😂
Its really funny though knowing that every viewer guest is actually just a paypig lmao. Im good
@@chamber8234 "paypig" lmao any patron has a chance of being on it, the lowest tier is $5. i dont think you understand what a paypig is
@@chamber8234 lmao if you're broke just say it.
@@Venjamin Nigga Im mega broke and not paying for content thats already free
@chamber8234 I mean to be fair, why wouldn't they additionally reward people financially supporting them? I personally would never give someone on the internet a dime, but I channel's set up there pay schemes.
So glad i got the Fae Dominion deck. Now i know exactly how i am gonna build Alela. Killer game
7:13 to skip intro
This was one of the grindiest matches I've ever seen.
Rachel is a G-E-N-I-U-S!!! 👏 👏 👏
she's great
Her decks are always a pleasure to see
She has really elevated their show for me. Things were getting really stagnant and I think she was just what they needed.
"Jimmy, did you draw a land?"
"Where's your land drop, Jimmy?"
Every episode. Hey Jimmy, just put more lands in your deck, man!
Runs a deck building and MtG channel doesn't take his own advice
Didn't he say he usually uses 37
@@Hemlockerfunnily enough, the decklist has 35 lands and 1 mdfc card
@@Helios810 God dammit Jimmy 🤦♂although to be fair, even with 36, he did get pretty unlucky
I don't think I saw a single ramp card maybe thats the problem.
Perfect timing. I’ve been binge watching ‘Commander at Home’
You have excellent taste
Thanks for avoiding playing the Commander animation every time they're played, it gets boring after a while!
Jimmy needs to put more reasons to shuffle his deck, into every deck he makes.
sometimes i feel like jimmy puts like only 15 lands in his commander deck lols
While it wasn't the landslide it usually is with Josh, can we please start a petition to forbid him from playing a blue control deck for the next few episodes? It's really getting old seeing him play the exact same style of deck every game and always winning.
When Jimmy casted Teferi's Protection got me screaming literally
Great game, and also, just found out Jimmy Wong was in 'John Dies at the End'.
A game where Josh draws his entire deck and wins. How original.
You forget the part where once again the whole table leaves Josh at peace at the start of the game while (at that point) he was the problem.
Good to see Kyle*the Great Value brand Chris Hemsworth* Hill back on GK... Been a while for sure.
Love me a good game knights on my lunch break ❤
same here
Same 💯 😂
Jimmy you had Steeeeeve and anointed position. So those no lands complaints shall get NO sympathy from me.
This was one of the most exciting games I’ve seen. Kudos, team
Feels like they weren't paying attention to players taking commander damage......
Awesome to see all decks go off at one point in the game. Really liked Brian's deck, seems to have a lot more to it than what we've seen.
Wow… the guy playing Blue being able to counter spell everything, play Cyclonic Rift twice, play on everyone else’s turn, make it so that he can barely be attacked, drew almost their entire library, and even had an extra turn won the game? What an unpredictable outcome lmao.
I’m building a gylwain deck thanks for some ideas
There were several instances of the boards changing between cuts when nothing was happening (and then changing back). Was this a mistake, or have I simply never noticed before?
Also, do you have a house rule against keeping hostages? On the turn where Kibler casts Decimate, would the better play not have been passing with the 6 mana available, and saying ”if you interact with my board, you take 30 damage”, which is lethal for both Josh and Jimmy. A similar thing happened in the old Ravnica Rumble episode where Josh did not kill Jimmy to essentially counterspell an activated ability that killed his commander, which ended up being a huge problem for him. What gives?
The games are waaaaay longer than what we see, there's gonna be a bunch of stuff edited out, and potential mistakes corrected
Jimmy: "what defeated me was my own land drops" this line was perfect
Josh: Inserts Spaceballs reference
Me: I GOT THAT JOKE
The animation for Brenard is amazing
this was probably one of the most fun Episodes to watch,, AMAZING Episode guys, and getting Kibbler on again was great,.
thanks for 100min of pure joy
On the attack when Jimmy stays alive at one life: Josh has enough mana to equip Sword of the Animist to the attacker.
He could have before he gave all his faeries shroud.
@@thezerowulf2046shroud only does count opponents effects right?
@@Hagebuddne983Nope, Shroud stops ALL targeting, even your own
@@thezerowulf2046Yes, but his faeries didn't have shroud until he cast his lord. He could've equipped and then attacked.
This is like the most interactive Game Knights ever and I love it! Feels like everyone had plays all the time
this might be one of the most interactive episode of game knights
32:08 “I haven’t drawn a land yet” *has a plains in hand*
Love you guys keep up the great work and edits love them
Rachel lookin hot in that dress!! I approve!!
Love this set. I made a Goose Mother deck and named it The Honkening 🪿
I wonder if Josh knows how to play any other way? Every time he plays it's like the same style just a different commander (Let me draw a bunch of cards and get my value engine), and nobody does anything about it. Annoying as all hell. I imagine he's a wonderful person but man do I hate his playstyle.
The problem with game knights is that I feel they use far too many staples. Even with new commanders games start to feel samey. You're always waiting for the teferi's protection, the heroic intervention the cyclonic rift...we'd probably have seen a rhystic study if josh didn't already draw all the cards he needed. These powerful cards stop feeling like upsets when you know everyone in a certain color has one.
I thought the exact same thing watching this game like if you really need that effect why not run something new and synergistic or something else interesting lol
Tbh I think they need to do a two videos each set, one full power deck, and a gimmicky 100 dollar deck
Rachael was looking gorgeous in that dress ❤
Jimmy went out like a champ ✊
Don't think it's nesseccary to explain that Avacyn's pilgrim, dimir signet or goblin anarchomancer work in the deck....:p Save yourselves some time.
Jimmy Wong: the player that everyone looks forward to play with at FNM
JLK: the player that makes a playgroup "break up" but actually go to another store at FNM
I'm happy Brian made Agatha. Since I cracked her a prerelease, I've been brainstorming how I'd put together a quirky deck using cards that otherwise would have terrible activated abilities.
