There are SO many more animations this time! Love it so much!

Anonymous

during the combat steps from Moraug around 38 minutes, Moraug only untaps for 2 of those combat steps. Radha should not be able to untap during the main combat phase.

Anonymous

Shouldn’t the calming verse have blown up the mirage mirror too since it was a copy of mana reflection?

Anonymous

Also animations this time were fire! 🔥🔥

Anonymous

Probably my new favorite episode, that was freakin awesome

Anonymous

Couldn’t jimmy of just killed the commander while roiling regrowth was on the stack using yawgmoth?

Anonymous

As a geologist, I really loved how many rocks were in this episode.

Requires paying 1 life, which he was at. Would instantly lose the game after declaring the target for the -1/-1 counter

Just going to say only about half way through the episode so not sure if it is in there later. A possible huge opportunity missed with not having Josh sing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ptLktOjrY

kilted_dan

that was definitely the best episode of game knights yet! so much good play! so many awesome graphics! such a close game! great job guys. i can't wait to watch the round table to come after this one! Oh, i almost forgot to mention that AWESOME Hans playmat! that's definitely going on my C-mas list.

Anonymous

Also I just audibly groaned when Josh played Zendicar Resurgent

Anonymous

This episode “rocks! 🤘🏻😍😂

Anonymous

^This. Moraug only untaps the creatures during the extra combat steps, and Radha didn't have vigilance. She wouldn't have untapped on the normal combat phase. It's why with Moraug, the usual play pattern is to play the lands in second main phase.

Anonymous

Great episode! - I love that this episode was only partners and that you guys picked all the mythics. - The animations were fantastic as always, especially the Mana Reflection and the Solemn saying “sad robot” 😂 - This was probably one of the craziest Game Knights ever!

I love the rock deck Josh. It was a great game from everyone.

Anonymous

I love all your decks. They are all so amazing. The greatest rock in history was also phenomenal.

Anonymous

Fantastic episode! Loved the moment of Josh throwing a rock at Tevesh Szat, that was awesome. Also so many incredible animations yet again (the Tevesh Szat one was pretty scary actually), and a really nice balance between big power and fun cards.

Anonymous

Best episode yet! Sad we didn't get to see Tevesh go off, though.

Jeremy Kennedy

Thanks for the game knights!!!!

This hands downs was the best episode of Game Knights, so much interaction from all players I couldn't have asked for a better episode, and the fact that all decks had the opportunity to flourish and show their unique strengths was amazing 10/10. On a side note the fact that Jimmy almost had an infinity gauntlet moment where his commander almost took all of the commanders in the table that was a sight to see.

Anonymous

Great episode guys! I loved Josh’s Borat impersonation

Ika Ironfang

Greatest episode ever!! Tons if back and forth!!

Thingymabob

That episode was soooo good. Lots of back and forth which makes the game fun to watch. But the by far highlight was Josh and his rock. Won't spoil anything else about it in case someone is browsing comments before watching.

Very good game knight episodes, I don't know what to say mostly cause I saw a commander that made me fall apart, :'( Sakashima I found you and you get eaten by your own partner for your first go. Forget this I'm going to just solo hades dungeon with my death wizard on wizard 101 maybe I'll feel better taking out three Greek gods.

Anonymous

Great episode!!! Thanks for the game knight!

Anonymous

Also, no shade on this game, it's great; but, why not play as draft commander?

Anonymous

WOW!!! This was so much fun; pivotal moments where I thought for SURE someone was going to win only to be swept away. Thanks for entertaining us, especially during these times &lt;3! And a huge congrats to Rachel!

Anonymous

It was great to see all the decks go off! Makes me want to build and play all these commanders. Guest were fantastic. Great all around episode!

Reversal Ring +3

At 36:00 Moraug says it untaps the creatures at the *beginning* of the newly created combat step so shouldn't Joe only have been able to attack twice even if he had 3 combat steps since the combats will go in FILO order without untapping at the 3rd combat? It didn't matter much since Kamahl was removed but still worth noting I feel Moraug's Landfall is intended to be triggered on the 2nd main phase.

Eric Threadgold

Everyone has a plan until they get a rock to the face

Magister Sieran

After calming verse was used I noticed that the mirage mirror was still in play. Is mirage mirror not an enchantment when its a copy of one?

William Kennard

Really good match also, HUGE PROPS on the Animations. They were insanely good this game. Also really cool to see Joe play the Brother and Sister, and play it in a way that plays into each other.

Anonymous

Mirage Mirror's an artifact and only became Mana Reflection for Jimmy's turn then

Anonymous

This game was awesome! Well played all. Was awesome to see the Boros deck take home the W.

Anonymous

noticed two misplays: josh used ghirapur aether grid to jimmy's planeswalker when it can only be used on target crwature or player, and jimmy drew 2 cards off his zendikar resurgent when flickering solem simulacrum when it's only a CAST trigger not ETB....Lol

commandzone

So- most of the old cards (including aethergrid) that used to say “target creature or player” have been oracled to say “any target”. And then, Jimmy did not actually flicker Solemn- he flickered Scholar of the Lost Trove, which allowed him to CAST Solemn from his graveyard. -JLK

That was my favorite episode so far. What a fun match. Thanks for creating such great content

Anonymous

Awesome game! Loved your guests and all yall decks! But, just so you know, Dockside Extortionist counts enchantments as well so Jimmy's Thassa would have given Josh an extra treasure token! Also, Moraug is really counter0intuitive but since the extra combats happen before the actual combat step, Jo couldn't have attacked a 3rd time with Rahda. As per the Scryfall note for Moraug: If the landfall ability resolves during your precombat main phase, the additional combat phase will happen before your regular combat phase. You’ll untap creatures you control at the beginning of the additional combat but not at the beginning of your regular combat. Finally, it's a technicality but since Zendikar Resurgent is a cast trigger and Solen Simulacrum is ETB, Jimmy should have drawn his 2 cards BEFORE fetching for his basic. (mostly irrelevant but still a misplay)

james

well it did matter, as he attacked Jimmy with Radha 3 times, and, as played, he should have been able to attack only twice. Joe should have attempted to attack first, and see if he gets the Kamahl trigger, *then* play the Moraug postcombat and the land and explore. Even if Kamahl gets removed then, he's already got a +3/+3 buff to everything. He only gives up the +1/+0 from Moraug on the first attack

Absolutely amazing every video is always a experience. The plot twists and turns at every corner keep for a constant captivating video!

Anonymous

Awesome!! This was so full of commander greatness. I also love it when a first time guest wins their debut game, always adds a great underdog vibe !

Morgan

This was seriously the best game knights in awhile. Such a great game. And y'all, THOSE ANIMATIONS!!! Seriously the best you've ever done, masterful. The Sakashima face changing before the card? Incredible. Just incredible.

Anonymous

Unfortunately, Ghirapur Aether Grid can't target planeswalkers. So, Jimmy's Tevesh Szat would have been on the battlefield. (However, he would have been able to use the Rock tokens instead if he reordered his plays a little bit.) Other than that rules mistake. The animations were great! And the game had me on the edge of my seat!

commandzone

So- most of the old cards (including aethergrid) that used to say “target creature or player” have been oracled to say “any target”. You can check gatherer to verify. -JLK

One of the most entertaining eps in GK history. Phenomenal cast, Rachel and Joe are perfect guests!

This was a really great episode! So many swings, back from the verge, etc... Hall of Fame episode.

Anonymous

This has got to be one of the best episode I've watched. There were sooooo many cliffhangers, and the lead shifted so many times! Lots of epic plays, wow! Truly a fantastic episode! And by the way, first one I've watched in EARLY ACCESS! Keep it up guys! :D

Anonymous

Great episode as always, this one had me on the edge of my seat had me laugh and had me want so many of the new cards to put into my own decks.

Literally THE BEST episode of game nights that we’ve seen in a while. Everyone had an answer and at any time it felt like anyone could have one. This was incredible.

Anonymous

I was totally hollering at the screen while watching this. So epic!

Zonalsteve

this was awesome. when does extra turns come out?

Anonymous

Great guests make for a great game! Josh casting that relatively obscure Calming Verse at the perfect time and everyone being close to commanding the board at some point shows why commander is such a fun format! I also loved the animations, they just keep getting better! Still, I was a little sad when Yawgmoth himself was not animated. I mean, he's Yawgmoth!

Anonymous

Ok, so that little scream Rograhk makes as he attacks is the greatest sound ever. Any chance we can get an audio file of it so I can make it my inbound chat alert at work?

Anonymous

Well after coming back and looking at the video again, something just hit me with Jimmy turn, why didn't he just use his other commander to copy Dockside Extortionist make a bunch of mana then wait?

Marty McGee

I just returned to MtG after a 20 year hiatus when Zendikar Rising came out. I've been enjoying building and playing standard on both paper and arena. Commander has been a little intimidating as far as deck building. After watching these episodes though I've decided to build my first deck. I've got a fun idea and I plan on building around it. Whether or not it will actually win anything remains to be seen, but I think it'll be fun. Also, I played at a Commander Legends Pre-release draft and had an absolute blast playing that format. Thanks for showing how fun the format is, because it can be intimidating for a newbie. Enjoy all your content!

commandzone

We're glad we helped give you the confidence to give it a shot! Let us know how the deck works out. -JLK

Best episode of Game Knights so far!!
