Olivia I got a question how can we turn Commander into two-headed giant? Why should I start at 60 life with my partner and if so am I outlawing the cards that like let you just straight win if you have 50 life.... I've been trying to perfect this at my house but I need some info maybe from some professionals...please help
cant wait for 42 to come out. can you get that exact crew to come back? i love jimmy, and dennis is a legend. love your content. ben is always a gas to have there, and krim (asian avenger) always brings the gas. you should have krim and ken (i forget which group he is from. professor has had him on a few time). you could also have CGB come with either of them. they are great deck makers
Absolutely LOVED this episode! The link in the description for the Ryu list leads to a completely different deck though. Is there a link for Crim's Ryu deck?
Sorry for the rest of the glorious and fun participants out there, but Ben Brode is by far the best guest ever. He won magic. His decks are the coolest around and it's not particularly close.
He is undoubtedly the best guest, has the best humour, has great energy, is more imterested in being fun than winning (always great) and is just awesome
I haven't even started the video yet but seeing Crim and Brode in a pod together already gives me unspeakable amounts of joy for the shenanigans that are sure to follow
Ben Brode is such a delight watching him play on Commander at Home. I wish he can play on an episode of Game Knights or Extra Turns, for more entertainment. This was an awesome episode and I enjoyed it a lot.
I'd think it likely for extra turns, but Game Knights might be iffy specifically because it's WOTC sponsored and Ben's position with Marvel Rivals may cause issues there. I'm not familiar with the sponsorship agreement TCZ and WOTC have, so this is purely speculation. It might even be from Rivals side that they don't want him becoming a Knight. In any case, I wouldn't be surprised if a concern of "fraternizing with the competition" was an issue.
I do love when Ben shows up. Best deck so far is still the miniature deck with the oversized commander, simply because of the comedy of having his commander returned to his hand. And he wasn't lying - that was the most powerful low power deck ever.
The photo of baby Brian when he said "I have played mtg since the dawn of time" was a classic. Brode-pisodes are the best. You guys are the best commander channel on yt.
“This episode was just crim wielding the hadouken like a gun attempting to hold everyone hostage as they beg for sweet release” is not a sentence I’d thought I’d write but am glad I got to.
Ben and Brian discussing text erratas on one half of the table while Crim and Olivia are discussing how to draw a peeled banana on the other half of the table is SENDING me.
Eh crim isnt nearly as entertaining, and can come across very awkward when playing with more experienced people. Hes fine but there are far better options
Yes omg Brian mentioning “Inside”, absolutely amazing game, I second that recommendation!! Amazing episode as always, highlight of my week every time :))
Want to give Olivia props at not hampering Brode's enthusiasm at wanting to play commander while completely ignoring the rules she has worked so hard to maintain haha.
Brian and Olivia have such wholesome best friend energy, like i want to be hanging out playing edh with em every weekend, while being fed an entire charcuterie board and hot coffee in a mug the size of my head 😊
Communicating for Rule 0 can lead to so many fun times! I have a foil Split Screen that I pulled from unstable and I absolutely ADORE it for Melek, Izzet Paragon (My very first Commander and 1 of 2 decks I will never decon) I keep the deck Legal but i ask people if they would mind if i play with 1 silver border card. They ask what it is, I show it to them, I explain how it will work. 1 time I had split screen out and I cast Mystical Tutor to try and close out the game but I had to pick 1 of my 4 decks to tutor, I ended up tutoring in a deck with only cantrips and let me tell you, Mystal Tutor for an opt doesn't feel good but me and my friends love that story! Thabk you for the fun games and good times! You are wonderful people ❤
This channel was my introduction to Ben Brode. Ever since the first time I saw him here, I wanted to see him guest beside Crim. This was EXACTLY what I wanted, and I loved every minute of it. I was sctually a little mad when I woke up yesterday afternoon, saw the upload notification, and had to go to work all night instead of watching. I love Ben's theme; I was curious how he'd follow up tiny deck! Question for Brian: why no Shiro sleeves?
100% of the time, Ben shows up with some wacky hijinks and 100% of the time it is INCREDIBLY amusing It's just a matter of time until we see one of these concepts: A deck where every card has some form of eye covering (glasses, bandage, eye patch, etc) Some form of "nude beach" deck, where players hands are revealed and his deck is focused on trying to fire off some infinite combo that is highly interruptable A deck where his deck's creatures are always returning to his hand at end of turn A 5 color possibility storm gambling deck An Arbaaz Mir lifegain deck A deck where the only creatures are vehicles and he's crewing vehicles with vehicles that are turned into creatures through some other means
What a great video, guys! I love both of these guests and get excited to see them come on. I loved the episode. I can imagine how the sour grapes were while filming it. Crim dragging out a clearly won battle was a little exhausting just watching even. But at least it gave for hilarious Ben Brode reactions. It was also cool the way everyone expertly addressed the situation without escalating tensions. I watch your content to learn how to interact with a pod to ensure everyone has fun. You guys always do a great job of that and it was a great learning experience for me to see it in a common feels bad moment in EDH.
Ben "Commander Damage Sux" Brode has evolved into Ben "I Think Im invited again just to annoy Olivia" Brode because everytime I see Ben in a commander game with Olivia he constantly brings something that will trigger Olivia to no ends
Every episode I see with Ben Brode as a guest makes me go back and rewatch Episode 21. That will always be the funniest one to me. Love you guys and thank you for the awesome content.
Commander at home has it all from random one liners, Olivia misreading cards leading to said random one liners, Brian pushing Olivia’s buttons and other highly entertaining shenanigans.
Holy shit as someone who stopped playing MTG in the mid 2000s (I didn't even know what Plainswalkers were a couple of years ago) Ben's gonna play cards I actually remember lmao fun trip down bad memory lane
Absolutely love seeing Ben Brode and Crim! Also, every time I watch/listen to a Ben Brode game I almost always have cover my face at work so I don't burst out in laughter.
A warby parker sponsor?! Congrats guys, so happy to see this channel continue to grow! Now for me to get an hour and a half of what I can only assume will be complete chaos with this pod.
Ben plays decks that would normally piss me off if someone would try and pull them out and play them, like this one, that tiny card deck, the unhinged deck, but he's just so serious about it, while simultaneously not being serious at the same time and it just cracks me up every fucking time 😂
@Commander At Home. I’m calling it now. Ben Brode’s next deck will be all play test cards. I would like to be the guest on that show if he ever does please 😂
Fk I’ve never wanted to copy a deck list directly…but I have a complete CE collection that’s rotting in my closet, so I’m building that Garth deck. Popping everyone’s Rule 0 cherry.
I have a cycle with this channel where I'm like 'oo commander gameplay, I'll watch that', then I start the video. Then ten minutes later, they're still not playing.
I'll point out that Howling Mine + Island Sanctuary is a combo - you don't need to skip your draw step to benefit from the Sanctuary, you just need to skip at least one draw during your draw step. So you can skip one draw and then draw like normal from the Mine to both continue to draw one card each turn, but also benefit from the Sanctuary.
Edit:Looking up the rulings it does work with sigarda's aid and puresteel paladin since it attaches and gives an equip cost. Bruenor Battlehammer however looks for an equip cost specifically to change but it doesn't have it, so it still wouldn't work here but for a different reason. 29:36 Quick ruling thing here, although doing it the other way would only save crim a mana and wouldn't change anything, the lion sash can't specifically equip due to it being a creature since you can only equip if the equipment is not a creature. Crim would have to convince Olivia to break the enchantment first to equip for 0 with the blackblade then reconfigure the lion sash.
No matter how an equipment with reconfigure becomes attached, whether due to the reconfigure ability, an equip ability given to it, or some other spell or ability attaching it, the reconfigure will stop being a creature. 702.151b Attaching an Equipment with reconfigure to another creature causes the Equipment to stop being a creature until it becomes unattached from that creature.
Looking up the rulings it does work with sigarda's aid and puresteel paladin since it attaches and gives an equip cost. Bruenor Battlehammer however looks for an equip cost specifically to change but it doesn't have it, so it still wouldn't work here but for a different reason.
idk if they address this later in the video, but Island Sanctuary requires you to skip your DRAW not your draw STEP. so I.S. + howling mine lets you draw a card AND trigger sanctuary

Is there any chance the hoodie Olivia was wearing is available somewhere? It looks super comfy
Absolutely LOVED this episode! The link in the description for the Ryu list leads to a completely different deck though. Is there a link for Crim's Ryu deck?
Gotta give props to Brode for playing with his cards instead of just putting them in slabs
If they were real though. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were or weren’t, either way
@@stevenashley27 Oh they're real.
Id love to show the value of that deck
@@popdroprolld20 Checking out the Garth link in the description it looks like the deck value is just under $41,000
@@monsters2771 I think the link only shows the most recent printing of each of the cards. So It'll likely be much higher.
I love when Ben shows up because he gives people license to go a little wild with their decks while still knowing they’re not the most insane deck.
Ben is the embodiment of "fuck it, we're here to have fun".
he seems like one of the more responsible commander players. not really seemingly doing anything that would be considered degenerate
I just love how his whole game plan is always just "have fun"
Sorry for the rest of the glorious and fun participants out there, but Ben Brode is by far the best guest ever.
He won magic. His decks are the coolest around and it's not particularly close.
He is undoubtedly the best guest, has the best humour, has great energy, is more imterested in being fun than winning (always great) and is just awesome
“You currently can’t regenerate your Will o’ Wisp,” is not something I have heard in a long time. 😂
Button to vote Ben as the king of themed decks ⬇️⬇️
I cam here to say this but deep down in my heart I knew it was already being said.
Having the tcgplayer prices was an amazing touch
I haven't even started the video yet but seeing Crim and Brode in a pod together already gives me unspeakable amounts of joy for the shenanigans that are sure to follow
I saw the thumbnail and could not stop smiling
And they did, indeed, deliver
Ben Brode is such a delight watching him play on Commander at Home. I wish he can play on an episode of Game Knights or Extra Turns, for more entertainment. This was an awesome episode and I enjoyed it a lot.

I bet he will on game knights once they release the marvel set next year
“Rearrange deck chairs on the titanic here…” - Olivia…..People slept on the funniest fucking line in this episode 😂
You sure, I thought "tooth hurties" was pretty good.
10/10 line about our current economy 😊
Been saying this a lot lately for some reason. At least twice during my vacation last month
I love how the game goes from
“We gotta stop him or he’s gonna win” to “PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WIN THE GAME!”
Every game of commander I've ever played be like. Love this format lol
I do love when Ben shows up. Best deck so far is still the miniature deck with the oversized commander, simply because of the comedy of having his commander returned to his hand.
And he wasn't lying - that was the most powerful low power deck ever.
"We're gonna play until I can win with hadouken" *looks at time* 20 more minutes. "Oh no"
Reading the card explains the card, but you need to be able to read them, best ad read ever XD
The photo of baby Brian when he said "I have played mtg since the dawn of time" was a classic. Brode-pisodes are the best. You guys are the best commander channel on yt.
"My Brother in WUBRG!" is now a new favorite phrase of mine
Second to "son of a gix"
One of my son's friends plays EXCLUSIVELY WUBRG decks.
80 minutes of waiting for Crim to learn how to do ↓↘→ + H.P... totally worth it.
“This episode was just crim wielding the hadouken like a gun attempting to hold everyone hostage as they beg for sweet release” is not a sentence I’d thought I’d write but am glad I got to.
The only mid-roll TH-cam ad that hasn't annoyed me has been Ben Brode hawking Marvel Snap in the middle of a Commander game he's playing.
"You're just a button masher to me"-Brian. this had me rolling.
Next time Ben Brode comes, I expect Olivia to ask his permission to play some crazy rule 0 deck
Ben and Brian discussing text erratas on one half of the table while Crim and Olivia are discussing how to draw a peeled banana on the other half of the table is SENDING me.
Crim and ben at the same table is a gem that needs to be saved for centuries to come
I got so excited seeing the two of them. They're a great combo
Crim is cringee
Eh crim isnt nearly as entertaining, and can come across very awkward when playing with more experienced people. Hes fine but there are far better options
Ben is an inspiration to all of us to be a little silly at the Commander Table every now and again. Love that guy
Yes omg Brian mentioning “Inside”, absolutely amazing game, I second that recommendation!!
Amazing episode as always, highlight of my week every time :))
2 of my favorite guests on my favorite mtg channel? today is starting out strong!
It's always a treat to get Crim, even more so to get Ben as well. With their powers combined!
The slowly building, smoldering glow of violence behind Ben's eyes as Crim continues to hold the table hostage is both glorious and terrible.
Want to give Olivia props at not hampering Brode's enthusiasm at wanting to play commander while completely ignoring the rules she has worked so hard to maintain haha.
Eilidh must've had a blast putting the price tag on all of Ben's cards whenever the card preview came up 😂
Litterally opening the video and screaming BEN BRODE! i cannot wait to see the shenanigans ensuing in this episode!
The button masher comment was priceless. Thank you for uploading such a fun video.
Love when Ben is on the show. Whatever happens, he does something spicy and brings the entertainment with enthusiasm.
So glad to have seen Crim's final appearance on Commander at Home, really went out on a high note
wdym what happened?
Ben as The Gimmick is my favorite reoccurring gag.
Renaming Crim as "Button Masher" at the end was a great touch
OH MY GOD I GOT TO 40:38 BEFORE REALIZING THE TCG PRICE WAS ON SCREEN IM ☠️☠️☠️
... I got to 57:50
Did they do a final value? :D
@@samwhitaker8809 you can see it on the link in the description
Check the description for the TCGplayer deck lists. Bens deck definitely isnt 42k@@samwhitaker8809
Same
14:32 Olivia: Stop it, Brian.
Ben immediately does the annoying thing right after. 😂😂
Big brother Brode energy.
Wednesdays with Commander at Home always makes my work week less boring.
Brian and Olivia have such wholesome best friend energy, like i want to be hanging out playing edh with em every weekend, while being fed an entire charcuterie board and hot coffee in a mug the size of my head 😊
Wow this is the follow-up to his Mini Deck. I was worried how Ben was going to top that. I am not disappointed
I remember that IHYD episode where Brian cast Armageddon and passed and Kyle Hill just screamed "WHY" and pouted for the rest of the game lmfao
When Olivia says "a knife!" And without skipping a beat, me responding with "NO!"
That Yarus deck really gave me the itch to buy the Naya precon and to upgrade it, great brew Brian!
A Ben Brode *and* a Crim episode?
Oh the shenanigans well have! :0
Anyone else read this in Pinhead's voice?
I didn't if he said we'll than I would have but oh well we'll see if he at least edits it for the rest of us
@omartoro9578 I think if I edit the comment the channel like goes away.
So I'll have to leave it unedited. 😅
@smashbreault4051 can't win em all at least we know you tried
Ben Brode & Button Masher are a wonderful combo!
Communicating for Rule 0 can lead to so many fun times!

It's just a matter of time until we see one of these concepts:
A deck where every card has some form of eye covering (glasses, bandage, eye patch, etc)
Some form of "nude beach" deck, where players hands are revealed and his deck is focused on trying to fire off some infinite combo that is highly interruptable
A deck where his deck's creatures are always returning to his hand at end of turn
A 5 color possibility storm gambling deck
An Arbaaz Mir lifegain deck
A deck where the only creatures are vehicles and he's crewing vehicles with vehicles that are turned into creatures through some other means

So glad to see Yarus getting some love. He is such a fun commander.
Indeed love that Ben always has some goofy idea to bring for a deck.
Also crazy that the joke is worth more than all of my worldly possessions
They're probably proxy versions of the cards
I work retail and can have headphones in. I am almost non stop listening to EDH gameplay and Commander at Home is one of my favorites!!
So glad to see Brian running a Yarus deck! I don’t think there are many out there, but I’ve got one. :)
Yaruses unite
Every episode I see with Ben Brode as a guest makes me go back and rewatch Episode 21. That will always be the funniest one to me. Love you guys and thank you for the awesome content.
This show has easily become my favorite commander gameplay ahow to watch, thank yall for making homie, good, fun content each time, gg's!
Our pleasure!
I absolutely love every time I see Ben Brode on any channel. He brings such great laughter!
Okay "all Beta" is amazing. I recently built Joda but restricted to retro frame - and the creature base is nearly all from the Legends set.
"I literally only have two lands" has marwin and priest of titania and like 7 elves
THE CHAOS BOIS ARE BACK!!! These 2 are a couple of my favorite guests, easily
Okay, this has been the best so far! I did say to myself "Oh, this is going to be a great one!" having both Ben and Crim as guests!
Fun all around! 😁
Commander at home has it all from random one liners, Olivia misreading cards leading to said random one liners, Brian pushing Olivia’s buttons and other highly entertaining shenanigans.
This was such a great game, Ben Brode and Button Masher are such great guests :3
Shout to Olivia and the sheer amount of gameplay videos she’s a part of this week. Especially with one of those being apart of a great set!
What an episode
I never thought I'd hear Justin Wong come up during an episode of Commander at Home but it was a very pleasant surprise.
Man this is the best CAH video in a long-ass time, Ben and Crim are amazing and holy bisquits was it nice to see that Garth deck sling Beta Cards!
Holy shit as someone who stopped playing MTG in the mid 2000s (I didn't even know what Plainswalkers were a couple of years ago) Ben's gonna play cards I actually remember lmao fun trip down bad memory lane
Absolutely love seeing Ben Brode and Crim! Also, every time I watch/listen to a Ben Brode game I almost always have cover my face at work so I don't burst out in laughter.
The editor is amazing! 👏👏👏
A warby parker sponsor?! Congrats guys, so happy to see this channel continue to grow! Now for me to get an hour and a half of what I can only assume will be complete chaos with this pod.
Crim AND Ben Brode?!? I am already thrilled.
Great game! Crim love you used Ryu as you did! I run him too with equipment and auras! So neat to see an EDH pro run a unique commander like that! 👊
Ben plays decks that would normally piss me off if someone would try and pull them out and play them, like this one, that tiny card deck, the unhinged deck, but he's just so serious about it, while simultaneously not being serious at the same time and it just cracks me up every fucking time 😂
I love how each time ben comes on he has to one up his last themed deck
Beautiful weather, cat cuddles and an episode of Commander at Home? Best day off ever!!
With this line-up, you know this is gonna be one hell of an episode!
@Commander At Home. I’m calling it now. Ben Brode’s next deck will be all play test cards.
I would like to be the guest on that show if he ever does please 😂
1:03:24 Nobody blinking an eye when Ben plays a Mox jet is enough to tell you exactly what Ben’s deck is like lol. Another fun one as always
Having crim and Ben brode, 2 loud and funny individuals, was amazing to watch. They need to play together more.
Just got the Ben Brode Marvel Snap ad while loading the video. Terrific marketing there, CommanderAtHome. Well played! 😂
I love the ending tag of "Button Masher" for crim, peak editing
Oh man, I'm the one who wrote up a primer for Infinite Hadukens in Crim's Discord server months ago. Let's freaking go!
I love that Ben Brode got to experience how playing against Ben Brode is for himself. 10/10 Crim. Very well done!
Fk I’ve never wanted to copy a deck list directly…but I have a complete CE collection that’s rotting in my closet, so I’m building that Garth deck. Popping everyone’s Rule 0 cherry.
Great energy from all my favorite guys, a joy to watch
I have a cycle with this channel where I'm like 'oo commander gameplay, I'll watch that', then I start the video. Then ten minutes later, they're still not playing.
So happy whenever someone plays a face-down deck. I am also a fellow Yarus enjoyer.
A man of culture
I'll point out that Howling Mine + Island Sanctuary is a combo - you don't need to skip your draw step to benefit from the Sanctuary, you just need to skip at least one draw during your draw step. So you can skip one draw and then draw like normal from the Mine to both continue to draw one card each turn, but also benefit from the Sanctuary.
Lots of love to our amazing players, crew that supports the channel, and the beautiful watchers. Thank you and have an amazing day my friends :)
I love Olivia’s mug collection, I’m thoroughly distracted whenever she takes a sip 😂
14:20 Ben's facial expression is SO perfect as he flicks his cards, holy cow
Oh no, it’s Ben Brode and Crim, two Chaos Gods in the same Pod.
Thanks for the content. I may get to watch it all at once because i am trapped under my new doggos face.
Edit:Looking up the rulings it does work with sigarda's aid and puresteel paladin since it attaches and gives an equip cost. Bruenor Battlehammer however looks for an equip cost specifically to change but it doesn't have it, so it still wouldn't work here but for a different reason.

No matter how an equipment with reconfigure becomes attached, whether due to the reconfigure ability, an equip ability given to it, or some other spell or ability attaching it, the reconfigure will stop being a creature.

Ben brode coming in with another theme deck that puts everyone in hysterics before the game even starts
idk if they address this later in the video, but Island Sanctuary requires you to skip your DRAW not your draw STEP. so I.S. + howling mine lets you draw a card AND trigger sanctuary
I am always so happy when Ben is on the show, genuinely hilarious and entertaining guy!
