Once again the gang takes the opportunity of my absence to completely throw out red mana tsk tsk tsk. Only Gabriel my mountain buddy keeping the mountains up. Great to have had Julian on, he's great and his art is great! Just wish COVID had not stopped me from playing :(
Hope you feel better soon Matt. Missed ya this episode. No disrespect to anyone else, it was still a great game, just like the fun you bring to the table
I love Zasher going "Call an ambulance but not for me" when two Grand Arbiter's were on the field. That just got me real good and it only got better from there!
Kudos to you guys for letting a stax deck play on the episode. Everyone else is too afraid of recording a game with these kinds of decks so this was really refreshing.
The huge MISPLAY banner flashing on the screen during Zansher's turn made me laugh. There were other misplays but only he gets the red banner. Great game as always, good stuff guys!
I enjoyed watching Julian loose most of his life to mana crypt. It was my favorite part of the game other than maybe watching Light-Paws get its revenge.
Zansher dying inside saying "NOOOOOO" when the second Grand Arbiter Augustine IV hits the board That is the best moment in this game as it encapsulates how most players feel about STAX Your content is amazing keep up the great work
Maybe I missed something, but isn't Transmute only able to be done at sorcery speed and couldn't be done at End Step? Teferi was gone and I don't think he allows that anyway so figured I would ask. Love the content and look forward to each video!
@@QMTG Cool! No worries at all! I know all the stuff to keep up with while filming is rough. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something because Transmute at instant speed would be really nice!
That's a lot of mis-plays off Sun Titan's enchanted Protection from White. I'm always on the look-out when my friends try to mix-it-up in their decks with Swords of X & Y + incompatible colored Auras. GOTCHA!
Great episode. It's hard to pick a favorite moment. I love that light-paws and Isshin were played and were the last ones standing. Light-paws can be so resilient its awesome!
It's always great to hear that the artists for Magic sometimes even play the game. Having 2 GAAIV on board is oppressive but manageable lol My favorite moments are every time Light-Paws was killed lol
Hello from Belgium Games Haven's team, I discovered you recently and you're really the best commander channel ! There's such an alchemy between all of you : Esmond, Gabriel, Matthew, Zansher, Paul, Liang Ying, Shu Qiao, Mc, The Chosen one, and all the others, different people but same spirit. The atmosphere is fun and you don't "overdo" like some american channels. It makes me just want to play with you guys so thanks a lot for your contents ! Again a lot of fun in this episode (the double Augustin, the mana crypt (almost) suicide, the Light-Paws "reanimator" plan, Gabriel's (non-)impact as usual (sorry)) but my favourite moment was Esmond's face when he didn't understand Zansher was attacking him. Looking forward for the next episode ;)
My favorite part is the missed pro white. My buddy and I were just talking about how many rules or things that are missed and completely change game outcomes. Funny how this only messed up the last few turns.
I’ve never wanted my card autographed by an artist so bad before lol I pulled a full art foil Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire! Great video guys loved the dynamic and energy in this one.
I built a Light-Paws deck recently but didn't get to play that yet, so seeing how that deck went off (even though a lot of mistakes were made) was really cool. :)
Your channel is awesome because of the amazing atmosphere and camaraderie. A fine balance of power level and fun like watching a game between friends. I appreciate Julian for holding back and not going overly degenerate. It feels he could have messed up White Paws more than he did. Love his artwork too!
Best moment of the game: Zansher stacking the enchantments onto light paws and then swinging lethal commander damage at Esmond while doubling his life total. He finally got to do his thing! Absolutely great game (I was worried due to control, stax and pillow fort elements), but you guys are always so much fun! Keep up the great content!
I was laughing from the dark-paws joke all through the video, thanks. I love it when the underdog wins and there's nothing more underdog than mono white in commander
Hey! Congratulations, you've won our giveaway for this episode! Drop your contact/address details to ezzyhey@gmail.com and we'll send over your prize asap :)
i am so lucky you arrived in my recommended, loved the energy at the table and the gameplay! Hopefully the fact that i saw you means you will get a deserved influx of subs
Its really hard to decide a favourite moment lol. Im torn between light-paws constantly getting removed and all of the mana crypt triggers. There were like five 1s and three were in a row
The banter in this episode was so great!^^ 08:25 especially, fav moment right there. Also gotta say, Neon Dynasty brought some amazing legendaries to the table, so many commander options!
I’ve been thinking about changing my mono-white deck’s commander to Light-Paws. I’ll want to swap some equipments for auras but I was already considering moving those equipments to the Isshin deck I’ve been working on. So it all works.
I absolutely love everything you all do! I eagerly await every video. I will be going through and trying to help your algorithm on your other videos. So expect just random comments from me! I want to see you all exceed as much as you can. I can't afford patreon right now so this is the next best thing I can do
Could be wrong but can't you only transmute as a sorcery? Even Teferi's +1 would only apply to spells cast and not a transmute ability? If I missed something please let me know. Love your videos and each game is a blast to watch!
A wild idea for a future episode, how abt a Portal Three Kingdom themed edh game? Can't seem to find something like this done by other channels but might appeal to Asian audience and a chance to dig up old cards for fun 😊
Easy game when you don't follow the rules Zasher 😂😂. Love it. Light-Paws is so powerful. I run a Balan Voltron Equipment deck. They are my two favorite decks to play when people tell me when mono white is bad in EDH.
*plays GAAIV* *my opponent clones GAAIV but as a vehicle* Can you not do that? How is this fun. My response: I didn't say it was going to be fun for you. Loved that moment
Best moment: esmond copying the arbiter for so much value on his own ^^ and also happy to see a magic artist at your table :D but have to admit: I hate arbiter and at my house, he is forbidden also land destruction decks.
Lmao 5 mins into the video and two players are ready to scoop. That is stax for you. Especially when on turn three all your things cost 2 more to cast. A 4 mana grasp hurts me physically lol
11:29 was there a reason to not activate shorikai before your turn since Teferi died? It could be you forgot which is completely reasonable, in edh I forget way more than anybody else, just want to know if I missed somthing.
No I'm saying that because of the misplays Gabriel most likely would have got the game cuz he could have been able to block and cast that spectral ward on a creature to block, zansher would to have had to cast light paws and took a slower rout, which could have ended very favorably for Gabriel.
@@PraetorGix 90 life in the face of krenko double triggers and no "counter mana" with War's Toil I think could've easily turned it into Gabe's favor. That 14 damage would've never happened and he could've gone on the defensive. Plus what other creature could he had easily enchanted? I didn't see any besides the commander at the time.

Hope you feel better soon Matt. Missed ya this episode. No disrespect to anyone else, it was still a great game, just like the fun you bring to the table
Recover well and fast my friend! Let the mountains flow through you! ⛰️🌋
I assumed you were too high and mighty on your red throne to play with such poor colour choosing plebs 😂
I feel like there's a bias here
I love Zasher going "Call an ambulance but not for me" when two Grand Arbiter's were on the field. That just got me real good and it only got better from there!
Hahahaha yeah that was funny
Kudos to you guys for letting a stax deck play on the episode. Everyone else is too afraid of recording a game with these kinds of decks so this was really refreshing.
Hahahaha we're cool with anything. I actually would've preferred to see him blow up some lands too 😆
“I will be playing Isshin, this is the first time I’ve played this deck” 🤔
The mind games begin before the game
You forget that last time it was The Chosen One playing, not Gabriel
The huge MISPLAY banner flashing on the screen during Zansher's turn made me laugh. There were other misplays but only he gets the red banner.
Great game as always, good stuff guys!
Lol yeah he deserves it the most
I enjoyed watching Julian loose most of his life to mana crypt. It was my favorite part of the game other than maybe watching Light-Paws get its revenge.

Lolololol it was hilarious. Thanks!!!
Hands down my favourite EDH show out there.
All the love to you guys, tell the whole team they're awesome! 🤗
Thank you!!!!! They know it 👍🏻

@@QMTG Cool! No worries at all! I know all the stuff to keep up with while filming is rough. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something because Transmute at instant speed would be really nice!
Transmute is an ability but it's at sorcery speed.
I noticed that too! I feel good for realizing that. Great video by the way!
I liked it when Zansher was pleading for his commander’s life - and then smoked everyone, even if there were two misplays!
Yeah tsk tsk
I just like that the Julian, the control player with 2 stax effects did more damage to himself than anyone else at the table. 😂
That's a lot of mis-plays off Sun Titan's enchanted Protection from White.
I'm always on the look-out when my friends try to mix-it-up in their decks with Swords of X & Y + incompatible colored Auras. GOTCHA!
Great episode. It's hard to pick a favorite moment. I love that light-paws and Isshin were played and were the last ones standing. Light-paws can be so resilient its awesome!
Lightpaws is crazy resilient!!!!
It's always great to hear that the artists for Magic sometimes even play the game. Having 2 GAAIV on board is oppressive but manageable lol My favorite moments are every time Light-Paws was killed lol
Hahahahahaha yeah it got killed soooo many times
Hello from Belgium Games Haven's team,

Looking forward for the next episode ;)
Oh hi, thanks so much! Glad you like our videos and yeah, we just try to make it as authentic as possible 😁
I appreciate the effort you took to subtitle these! It makes the game a lot easier to follow for someone with not-so-great hearing like me.
You're welcome! It can be difficult for people who can't understand our accents as well

@The Lion Hobbyist I've seen others try, but you are the only one I've seen pull it off, despite having light paws face removal multiple times 🤣
@@andrewroy5677 haha yes wasn’t sure id make it - wanted to show off all the spice in the list
Such a good showing from Light-Paws, seems like a very resilient engine.
It sure is!

I liked and shared this vid. My favorite part was hearing about the artist mtg experiences.
Thanks!
My fave moment(s) are every time LP gets cast and keep being the big threat!
Its really hard to decide a favourite moment lol. Im torn between light-paws constantly getting removed and all of the mana crypt triggers. There were like five 1s and three were in a row
Enjoying the editing to highlight fun moments! Thx for the hard work!
Great! Feels nice when peoe notice hahaha 😆
The banter in this episode was so great!^^ 08:25 especially, fav moment right there. Also gotta say, Neon Dynasty brought some amazing legendaries to the table, so many commander options!
Lolol sweeet. Yeah so many new commanders!
Wow, someone was monstrous enough to bring Grand Arbiter.
Pls read this Julian
That second grand arbiter coming down as a vehicle was great
I know right
this was so fun to watch thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Zansher's sleeves are RAD!
7:00 Back to bullying Gabriel(& Zansher) I see xD
Nahhhhhhh
I said it before and I will say it again, this series rocks!
Favorite moment of the game: I will copy your stax to make me stax. Stax!!!
YEAHHHHH that was hilarious hahahha
Wait a minute...Alpha, Magic's very first set, was released in 1993. Weatherlight wasn't released until 1997 =P
LOL! He must've gotten the dates wrong 🤣
Missed misplay, Julian transmuted Muddle the Mixture at instant speed on zans end step, but a great game as always :D
Yeah oh well
Another great episode !! I am dying is so funny ! More Julian please and Matthew better be back next episode lol!!!!!
Hahahhaa thanks! He'll be back!
I’ve been thinking about changing my mono-white deck’s commander to Light-Paws. I’ll want to swap some equipments for auras but I was already considering moving those equipments to the Isshin deck I’ve been working on. So it all works.
Nice! Light-Paws is super consistent and resilient but I guess rather one-dimensional. Very powerful tho!
I absolutely love everything you all do! I eagerly await every video.
I will be going through and trying to help your algorithm on your other videos. So expect just random comments from me! I want to see you all exceed as much as you can.
I can't afford patreon right now so this is the next best thing I can do
Awww hey thank you so much!!! That really helps and I will reply to any and all random comments 🤣
Dude transmuted on the endstep! >:(
This episode was super funny, I laughed so much with the Call the Ambulance joke 🤣🤣
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Haha yeah that was funny
When Zansher finally got to attack to kill off Esmond with light paws. (sorry, Esmond.)
You should be. It was totally undeserved 🤣
"Call an ambulance, but not for me!" lol
I’m pretty sure the pilots can crew big vehicles on their own lol I saw you tap more than one pilot even tho you didn’t need to
Best moment copying Augustin and the look on the faces of the others. Great game as always!!
Lololol. Thanks!!
Holy heck Esmond, organize that board of yours. 😂
Its too hard
This really showcases off white in commander. Really liked it.
Love that Command Tower from the black collection
Yeah the art is sweet
Late, but this was terrific. Super enjoyable.
Hey, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Could be wrong but can't you only transmute as a sorcery? Even Teferi's +1 would only apply to spells cast and not a transmute ability? If I missed something please let me know.
Love your videos and each game is a blast to watch!
Yeah no, we got that wrong unfortunately :/ it was an illegal tutor tsk tsk
A wild idea for a future episode, how abt a Portal Three Kingdom themed edh game? Can't seem to find something like this done by other channels but might appeal to Asian audience and a chance to dig up old cards for fun 😊
Lolol that's interesting! Gonna be hard to find them cards
Loved it all. Super fun show!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fav moment is definitely whenever Julian rolls for odds
Loving this channel!! :D Keep up the good work
Thanks!!!
Terminus…
Esmond: Well. I’m gonna take a nap… 🤪
Some misplays here and there, but always fun. Keep it up! 🤙🏽
Greetings from Argentina.
Hahahahhaa. Greetings from Singapore!
Hey, congratulations on winning the giveaway from this episode! Drop an email to ezzyhey@gmail.com with your details and we'll send over your prize :)
Are you serious?! Hahahaha. Ok. 👍🏽
Missed Matty :) but at least Gabriel didnt disapointed ^^ bravo guys
Lol he'll be back soon!
... Weatherlight was years after 1993. Still a long time ago, though!
Lol yeah he got the years mixed up. Too long ago 😅
Such a good artist 😩🙏🏼
Yes he is
when sun titan got protection from white that Aura that is giving it protection from white would have fell off cause it is white itself
Benevolent blessing specifically prevents that
Such a fun game to watch! Love this team, great people and great gameplay
Thanks, thanks and thanks!
You cannot transmute at instant speed, like Julian did with muddle the mixture.
That’s right
It was fitting that Light Paws didn't win until being cast EIGHT times, symbolizing her finally getting her eight tail
Indeed. We should have killed it at least 9 times
@@QMTG Nah, it would have become too powerful and broke out of the game to enter our own reality.
The Chosen One returns.. will Twoshin also?
I need more energy like this group.
It gets tiring 🤣
Good and fun video XD
The best moment: 2 Grand Arbiter Augustin IV xDDDD
SaLuDoS desde España , haceis unos videos muy divertidos, seguir asi ^^
Thanks!
Never let the light-paws player at the table gaslight you out of bullying them…. Man had to drop 8 mana to get him out and still got there with ease….
Easy game when you don't follow the rules Zasher 😂😂. Love it. Light-Paws is so powerful. I run a Balan Voltron Equipment deck. They are my two favorite decks to play when people tell me when mono white is bad in EDH.
Light-Paws got shot down so many times 😂
And yet....
i laugh so hard when light paws keeps getting targeted by effects
*plays GAAIV*
*my opponent clones GAAIV but as a vehicle*
Can you not do that? How is this fun.
My response: I didn't say it was going to be fun for you.
Loved that moment
Thanks! It was VERY fun
Best moment: esmond copying the arbiter for so much value on his own ^^
and also happy to see a magic artist at your table :D but have to admit: I hate arbiter and at my house, he is forbidden also land destruction decks.
Hahahaha I totally get it. The game can still be fun though!
Lmao 5 mins into the video and two players are ready to scoop. That is stax for you. Especially when on turn three all your things cost 2 more to cast.
A 4 mana grasp hurts me physically lol
Yeah it's ok they dealt with it 🤣
I love Zansher's sleeves
Thanks :) it’s my favourite one I own
11:29 was there a reason to not activate shorikai before your turn since Teferi died? It could be you forgot which is completely reasonable, in edh I forget way more than anybody else, just want to know if I missed somthing.
I completely forgot that it is not actually a creature. I thought it has summoning sickness
Hey Esmond and team, love your guys’ work!! I wanted to ask what’s the best way to get in contact with you for a card signing with Julian?
Hey! I'm still working it out with Games Haven, there should be an announcement out by this week
Weatherlight 1993? Am I the only one who recognized this?
Nope. He just got the dates messed up
That imposter mech play 😂
Gabriel basically won cuz of the misplays
You mean Zansher
No I'm saying that because of the misplays Gabriel most likely would have got the game cuz he could have been able to block and cast that spectral ward on a creature to block, zansher would to have had to cast light paws and took a slower rout, which could have ended very favorably for Gabriel.
Oh right, yeah. Gabriel probably would've won if not for the misplays
Today on Quintessential Commander, Julian loses to Mana Crypt.
And that's why we don't play it
another great game, well played all.
Thanks :)
Yes another game from games haven 😁 !
Yes indeed
Could you reupload the light paws decklist? :) The link sadly does not work anymore
Light-paws always gets so much aggro. Like on sight
So is it safe to say Gabriel actually won this because of the huge misplays?
I'd say Julian won because he made us all too tired to play properly
Nah, nit at all. Zansher had 90 life and could have easily enchanted another creature. He would have won anyway.
@@PraetorGix 90 life in the face of krenko double triggers and no "counter mana" with War's Toil I think could've easily turned it into Gabe's favor.

Thank the guest for playing games with us today, mission one ,kill esmond with light pass (completed) .who's going to win it all?
Idk why that's even a mission...
@@QMTG because most of time u play powerful decks and run away with game,our get very close to winning..
@@QMTG your deck sweet to watch,like the guest and like having a good time watching fun magic with friends
Favorite moment was the copy of grand arbiter
Congratulations!
That was alot of misplays to win the game gonna have to try that one for myself
Good luck :)
Great episode!
Man everyone hates Light Paws lol. To be fair she is a big threat though. Fun game
It can be obnoxious
I just bought his command tower....its awesome
Transmute can only be done as sorcery.
New Video WOOO!!
The link of Light Paws deck, is offline!
I have never been able to say light paws any other way since seeing this game smh
Julian, your art is beautiful!
Shorikai has not impressed me at all as a commander. Definitely needed Arahbo against Light-Paws this game Esmond!
Are you saying...an all Voltron pod??? 🙃 Don't worry, Arahbo will appear sooooon
@@QMTG that is exactly what I am saying. May the best Voltron win
@@avatarofpapermagic I’m down light paws is bae
@@zantcg he is until you destroy all enchantments mwhaha
You can only transmute at sorcery speed. 13:10
It's shorikai time! #quintessential commander
OH YEAHHHHH
