@@VCV95When I first saw him he felt way too over the top for me. But the more you watch videos of him the more his style of "acting"/performing really grows on you and it's so funny. Hopefully he makes more appearances on Game Knights.
Words can’t describe how much I love this video and channel. I had a life altering injury a month ago and as a new player, each of your channels has given me something to lift my spirits through the recovery process. This video right here is by far my favorite. Everyone had me laughing to tears and I learned so much to bring along to game nights with my best friends. From the bottom of my heart.. Thank you.
You know what I find crazy about Game Knights? I don't play Magic the gathering at all. I've never bought a single card and i still don't fully get how the rules work. But I've never missed an episode because no TH-cam series makes me feel like I'm hanging out with some buddies on a Saturday night nerding out like this does. So a heartfelt thank you to everyone from the Commandzone from a longtime fan who can't always keep up with whats going on but tries his best and enjoys every second. CHEERS!
Now with these precons being extremely strong right out of the box it’s likely the best time to play along with all the info sites, arena etc. I would recommend all the ixalan precons, the Warhammer ones or the master series precons 🎉
@@transegg7780 "Overediting" is the name of the game on game knights, and I say it payed off extremely well this episode. Save the minimal editing for extra turns.
It makes such a huge difference when the professor is at the table. He lightens up the games so much and the other players also enjoy the game much more. It's not about anyone having to make a clown of themselves at the table, but it should be a lesson to all players on how their behavior can have a lasting effect on the fun of all players. Super great game, more of it please.
Yeah, I don’t HATE when everyone’s serious, because at least they’re fully focused, but I far prefer it when everyone’s quipping and teasing, w/ salt kept down to just a groan here or eye roll there. I can blood feud w/ the best of them, but when a Brothers War breaks out over something silly, like an early dork or land ramp spell getting Mana Tithed/Spell Pierced/Removed, it can easily let out all the warmth.
What a good episode, great dynamics between everyone at the table. Feels a little more loose and natural than usual, I think Prof and Voxy both bring a good frantic energy.
30:44 I just wanted to point this out. I LOVED the voice acting on the "yarr" there. like it isnt a regular pirate yarr but it has that vampire tone in it. it sounds mischevious, dark and almost mocking. the voice acting accurately gives the feeling of a vampire who somehow snuck into the pirate crew, and is working with them with his own hidden schemes, not to mention how good it fits the art of the card. I know this is a weird thing to point out maybe, but I just wanted to say incredible job on that bit of voice acting there
Prof's quick-witted remarks followed up by Voxy's reactions are the best combo in MTG right now. Also, this was probably one of my favorite episodes in recent memory not only because of the guests but because everyone got to do what their deck wanted to do.
As someone who is very new to MTG (I’m talking less than two weeks) this channel has been my favorite to learn from. The thought and production that goes into making these videos enjoyable and understandable, even to someone new, is unmatched. Keep up the great work
Many Magic the Gathering players ask the question will the professor say the thing? Yes... yes he did reading the card most definitely explains the card
I LOVE when the games go down like this! Josh coming out swinging like a Juggernaut, Jimmy not having the mana drought while showing how tuned the deck is, Voxy with the most exciting Top Deck, and the Professor is always a joy to watch compete. WONDERFUL episode!
Commenting straight up from Brazil! You guys make me laugh and have a great time in those Game Knights! I absolutelly adore The Professor. Please, try and bring him more often to the show. Shout out to everyone
Me and my friends started learning magic when the first ixalan set came out playing one of the tribes each. A few years back we all fell out of love with the game but with the new release we all grabbed a precon kept it raw and we have all fallen back in love with the game its like been a kid again
New MTG fan here. Been distantly curious for a while. Recently got hooked on MTG Arena, and have now ordered my first commander decks. Found my way here to see if I could get some pointers (I picked up that sweet Pantlaza precon), and I just gotta say, as someone new to the world of Magic content. This video is gorgeous. The lighting, imagery and sound quality, the editing, the whole well-executed production from start to finish is so well polished and something to be proud of. Well done you guys! Subscribed!
Honestly probably the best EVER command zone episode- every deck did their thing and there was tons of action and humor! Plus the editing was top notch.
Game Knights brought me to back to playing Magic after not playing for almost 20 years and introduced me to commander. This is by far the best episode to come out. 🎉
Probably some of the best energy I’ve seen on GK. Prof and Voxy both brought it, such a good episode! Sound & music also added hilarity. Can’t wait for the next one :)
I really appreciated the tasteful meme cuts! Not too often, and short and sweet (and always funny). I really really enjoyed this episode!! I absolutely love seeing Prof's and Jimmy's animated personality, and I just cant wait for more. Thanks for an amazing episode.
I'm not even at the 22 minute mark and I just gotta stop and say y'all canNOT be allowed to get all 4 of you together again y'all are like the kids that can't sit next to each other in class cause they're always goofing too much lmao this is hilarious 😂😂😂
thats exactly what i felt too so thank you for the comment :D . Just about 20 mins in and its already so funny and lighthearted with Voxys laugh and the Prof on board, it has to be one of THE best Episodes of Game Knights ever. just all around wonderful to watch 😂
First time watching (bc voxy and prof and caverns commanders lol) but I really love the editing and effects here. Especially the interviews between turn plays. Makes listening very enjoyable!
WHat a great game! SO entertaining and such great turns. Jimmy's choosing to turn his own commander into a treasure token to dodge is own Toxic Deluge was so big brained. All of these decks actually seem quite strong and fun!
This is one of my favorite games to date. The banter and jokes were top tier. Great chemistry, great game play, even better game of commander. Love this!
@@benjaminlehman3221 For sure, vampire would just be same play style as always, apwn more flying vamps tokens while drain life, revive and kill people who has no mass flying blockers.
At 1:03:45, the Stroke of Midnight isn't actually countered - the enchantment is indestructible, it doesn't have hexproof via Boros Charm, so the Stroke would still resolve and Jimmy would get the 1/1 token.
@@sabertooth509 Nothing on Stroke of Midnight says the permanent has to be destroyed in order for the token to be created. The enchantment is still a legal target for the Stroke when it resolves, even if it's indestructible, and when the spell resolves, we do as much as possible. The enchantment isn't destroyed since the permanent is indestructible, but Jimmy still creates the token, even if it's not destroyed. If it had to be destroyed it would be worded like "Destroy target nonland permanent. *If that permanent was destroyed this way*, that permanent's controller creates a 1/1 token".
@@sabertooth509 The rule in general is that effects do as much as they can do. The effect does two things: destroy the enchantment and create a token. It can't destroy the enchantment, then sure, it doesn't do that. But it creates the token. (On the other hand, if the enchantment had hexproof, the spell wouldn't resolve. That's not "because it cannot destroy the enchantment" - it's because there's a rule that says that, if a spell has targets, and none of the spell's targets are legal targets when it resolves, it doesn't resolve. Note that they simply have to be legal, not reasonable: you can target an indestructible enchantment because nothing says you can't, even if the effect won't do anything useful.)
@@therealax6well said. Related fun fact: you can cast counterspell targeting a spell that can't be countered and it will resolve. It will just do nothing.
There aren't really episodes I did not like, but this one was one of the bests one for sure. nice guests, cool animations, interesting, strong decks, awesome entertainment!

Karma has spoken.
