my Favorite holiday song is "Grandma got torpedoed by an elk in a submarine"
Wishing everyone a very happy holidays and a merry new year. Hope you enjoy the episode!
Wooooooo!!!!
Thanks for all the episodes!
Thanks for posting! Merry Christmas! Happy holidays guys!
This channel has changed my life and I know that it ain't Thanksgiving but I'm thankful for it.
Hello guys nice job all this years I mean we love u guys nice job let's go am so fucking hype when I see video 💥
Ladee after helping Josh: "I hope I don't regret this"
Narrator: little did Ladee know, she would immediately regret this...
Morgan Freeman, we need you!
hahaha i laughed so hard at ladee's commentary trough this game
She immediately regretted her decision.
"You didn't win. I choose to lose"
Jimmy Wong
“You gotta make sure you keep that dmg prevention in mind, or you might get blown out”
Yeah. About that
I knew the second he said it that it was going to come back later. The writers are too good
hello,
@@CasualMTGDecks hello there
@@river7222 :-)
@@river7222 hello River :-)
When josh crewed the submarine with the grandmother, the only thing I could think of was "Now it is grandmother's turn to run over the reindeer."
hahahahaha
Jimmy: “Jimmy Wong for the win !!!”
Josh: “ I prevent 2 damage”
Jimmy: * surprised Pikachu face*
Josh: "I tap cleric to prevent 2 damage."
Jimmy: "Rakdos charm on upkeep after untap."
Josh: "I tap cleric to prevent 2 damage."
Jimmy: *surprised pikachu*
@@RugaQwarrcall It's so hilarious how he didn't just use it on his end step, or anytime during his second main.
Fancy play syndrome at its finest!
ive never seen someone choke a game like that lmao
I hate how many of these games end with someone throwing
@@Kristjan0209 People make mistakes. Even experienced professionals will forget stuff over the course of the game. Especially when they're wrapped up in their own plans.
Deck archetypes in this video:
Xell: White weenies
Ladee Danger: Treefolk tribal
Josh: Elk tribal
Jimmy: *Group hug but I pull a knife on you while we hug*
JImmy hugging you with his knife in hand " shhh just let it happen"
Jimmy and Ladee: the most powerful decks in the match???
The funny thing is that i have a Yurlok deck as well and it really is grouphug with a knife in your pocket...
Group slug
Cheers to the Command Zone team for the great shows this year.
Didnt know you were a magic fan too xD another tick that makes you awesome
Yes
Nice
Totally agree, maybe I will repeat someones words, but this TV-show moments were HILARIOUS, pls let Craig play with you, you can always just counter trimph of the hordes :).
omg, what are you doing here? I didn't expect you to be a fan.
we need to see Wrath of Grandma in the next un-set
Oh snap a DBFZ UA-camr in an EDH channel! Dope!
Wait you play magic?????
For your consideration: Granny's Payback from Unhinged
Wow, I did not expect to find JM here. Feels good!
Lovevur channel man dope u play mtg
That was so funny. “Josh Lee WHY” we need this on a shirt.
Yes!
Hello,
Jimmy giving Josh an untap phase for absolutely no reason was painful.
It was a power move. Granted it backfired.
@@liamwelsh4665 power isn't the word I would use...
If he would have done it on his turn, he would have one. Wow!
Not quite won, but it would'vs been down to him and JLK
@@Night717actually he would've won. After getting jlk to 1 he could've just given him the extra 1 extra mana and burn him
"I'm never helping Josh again. This was a terrible idea." I feel like this is the mood after many deals with Josh. ;-)
JLK: "If you can save me, I'll make it worth your while"
Also JLK: Thanks for saving me, lose 30 from Shaman of the Forgotten Ways
Well it was a stupid move so I don't feel any sorry for that
I don't play Commander much, I really don't get how Josh gets people to do him favours.
Pretty sure next time they play lady will make him pay hard.
@@Spaced92 Everyone they bring on the show is too nice to say no 😂
I am surprised that no one made an “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” deck around Phelddagrif gifting hippos.
Gotta do this now, thank you and also I hate you.
I was thinking a Grinch stealing deck
@@morecrafty247 who would you use as a commander though
@@sl0thgames324 Yasova Dragonclaw fits rather well since they live on the snowy mountain with their pet and is green
@@morecrafty247 honestly forgot that card existed, good idea there
Why didn’t Josh make his deck about Trample? I feel like that embodies “Run Over” more than vehicles do.
Well it did have "Overrun" in it at least.
Whenever you deal combat damage to a player triggers totally counts as being run over! The submarine has a specific run over grandma scenario built in.
Especially considering "Grandma got run over by a *reindeer*" explicitely says an animal ran her over - ie Trampled by elk in the case of MTG.
Sure trampling is running over something, but getting ran over by a reindeer in a vehicle is a significantly more funny idea than grandma just getting trampled by reindeer.
Why did lady not make her deck a toggo deck so she could make rocks
When Craig came to Josh's front door apologising about the infect, that was hilarious
19:38 "it is not made clear in the song where grandma was when she got ran over"
dawg the next line is "walking home from our house christmas eve"
But it could have been island walking!
It is unclear if Grandma is or is not a Merfolk, so she could have walked through the some ocean and got hit anyways
Hahhaha great replies, I imagined my grandma as a merfolk
Lmao
Maybe my house in in the underwater city of atlantis
Jimmy died to his own hubris, dooming the entire table. This is why I like how Jimmy plays
I'm having Bear Force One flashbacks
Jimmy "Math is for blockers" Wong
I really liked Jimmy's tongue out gremlin face
it would have been such a beautiful win... but it ended up being a equally beautiful defeat. personally I would have used the car right away just to get a draw. I've never seem a commander game end in a draw.
Ironically, the Master Apothecary on the card's art looks a lot like an older Jimmy Wong... 🤣
"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer."
Well, in that case it was a pretty fast killer.
Great episode, bravo!
So glad the “Howl” of Jimmy’s howling mine was the Wilhelm Scream. Props to your sound editor!
Ladee Danger practically screaming in a high-pitched voice: "This is your PLAN, Josh???"
Got me in stitches I swear. Good game, guys.
Josh Lee Why was a good one as well :D
Everyone: *builds decent decks around themes*
JLK: Elk and Old Lady
Oko approved
You forgot about the submarines
And vehicles. I cracked up when he explained his deck and song theme.
Still more creative than going for Treefolk tribal so... I think he's forgiven. At least an E for effort
I'm mad Jimmy had the ability to win the game and threw it away. He just didn't know when to stop giving gifts
Wouldn’t josh Kim still live as his cleric prevents 2 damage and he only prevented 1 damage from a squirrel, so wouldn’t he live anyway?
@@XragebootsX In the game, he went down to 1 thanks to the second activation of his Cleric. He would have died if Jimmy had used it on his turn. (Also I'm not sure that's how the cleric's ability works, but even if it does work like that, it wouldn't save him)
But, lets be fair here, wasnt that the most Jimmy move possible? ON THEME!
@@SandsBuisle as someone who plays old school clerics a lot "prevent the next x damage" would apply to damage from any source(s) until end of turn. So both of you are correct. Josh Kim would have died (9 damage dealt at 8 life), but yes, the cleric would still prevent 1 of those damage.
Josh Lee would have lived through Rakdos because of the Caribou sac, then died to mana burn, same deal. Though frankly I'm not certain the order in which the mana burn damage would be dealt if Jimmy also lacked an outlet...
Definitely one of the coolest wins that didn't happen on this show in my opinion.
Josh would've survived until his turn anyways and Jimmy would've survived and had to activate his commander to kill everyone so it would've been a draw.
Lady danger- "i really hope this doesn't back fire"...
-It back fires.
Narrator voice: "That's called foreshadowing, Ladee"
Love the the sign on the coffee shop and the choice of cards for Josh crawling through the ductwork... the little things. :)
We're just glad when someone notices that stuff :-) -JLK
@@commandcast Yes, I was laughing when I was watching the intro so much. I didn't laugh that good in such a long time! So, thanks!
JLK, as a fellow editor, can I just give you some major kudos for upping the production quality on every episode? Let me just tell you, all that extra work does not go un-noticed.
"I'm going to tap grandma." ~JLK, Dec 2020
"it doesn't say in the song where grandma got ran over"
in the song :"walking home from our house"
Took a detour through the ocean
But we don't know where she lives or where the house is
Well our house is on a island so checks out
I was looking for this exact comment
Just imagine if Jimmy had decided to play the rakdos charm on his 2nd main phase
I know! What was he thinking!!! He almost could have saved it by activating Yurlok in response to rakdos charm but as Josh Kim's lands had untapped he could use the Yurlok mana too!!!
I believe that the effect of Apothecary would prevent one damage on that turn yet. Jimmy wanted to kill it with the rakdos charm, but he forget the apothecary would untap again.
the apothecary would have still blocked 1 of the damage (since it had only blocked 1 squirrel damage) so he would have lived with 1 in that case right?
@@SnakeTyrant naw he still dies from taking a extra dmg from mana burn that turn. It would have prevented one but he was 1 minus the number of creatures he had anyway. So it’s exactsies
I haven't worked it out completely, but Josh would still activate his Caribou whatever land, sacced a token, gained a life, and probably won on the next turn. AHHHH. - jimmy
Xell made those angels with his snow lands so they're Snow Angels ;)
I want to dislike this comment but damn it’s good 😅
"Settle the wreckage" would be a flavorful sorta board wipe for JLKs deck
This was a super fun episode! The intro alone was such high quality, and I loved it. Great job on another incredible year. Here’s to Command Zone blowing us all away in 2021!
Everybody gangsta until Josh starts sacrificing Caribou for life.
That Craig skit is hilarious
53:42 That was the oppotune moment, Jimmy
Toggo/Kodama is another contender for the “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” deck!
I feel like Rocking around the christmas tree deck would be Toggo and Kodama
Yeah. It’s not like we did that already 😉 😉
@@Tuturial464 and not like we'll ever do until they give Toggo 2 that shoots Despacito on the opponents.
And they could have done it right this time.
“ I got reindeer I got grandmas I’m doing my thing” theme decks are fun great episode guys
I found you again. These skits are getting so good.
Christmas commander rules: all elks have flying
I love how much energy they put into each vid
"It's not clear where grandma was when she got run over..."
Uhh... walking home from our house Christmas eve?? Isn't that the literal next line in the song?
Obviously yeah.
I was literally thinking that
Doesn’t say where they live
@@FSH3885 but it does say "walking"... unless she was hit by a submarine that was on land...
What if you live on a beach, in an underwater hotel, oil platform, boat house?!
That opening... you people are mad for putting in that much effort, and I love it!
54:51 is one of my favorite Jimmy Wong moments of all time
I love it so much!
Them thanking the viewers at the end and the guests from the year flashing by made me sentimental. I really like this show a lot, MtG has made this year so much easier than it would've been without it. I do miss paper, I do miss playing with people outside my close circle, but I know we'll get through this time. Thank you guys!!
It is an actual sin that Josh's deck doesn't have Caught in the Brights.
Omg that’s perfect
Holy shit, it even has synergy, lol!
Maybe it was in and he didn't draw it? It would be perfect
@@river7222 Decklist is in the description.
Hi, Arcade :-)
"Turns out those angels just wanted to sing you a song." ... Angels we have heard on high... Gloooooooooria! In excelcius deo!"
"And we would kill you right now but we ran out of time singing and must go to josh Kim's second main phase!"
Boros angels tribal for "Angels We Have Heard On High"?
(Boros because "sweetly singing o'er the Plains / and the Mountains in reply...")
Everyone trying to deal with the sudden flux of angels causing one of the funniest cock-up cascades I've ever seen. Great episode.
Had me dying at “yippee ka yay mother of runes”
I kept thinking "How is he going to deal with the prevented damage?"... He didnt.
19:45 um, actually, “walkin’ back from our house Christmas Eve” pretty clearly shows that the Grandma of the song was not in water at the time.
This is one of the most glorious things I've ever seen.
Josh: “angels are coming at me”
Ladee: “nah they are just caroling”
Truly fitting that a Christmas “miracle” ended up winning the game. Great game and videos all around!
The first 4 minutes were amazing josh. Well done.
No that Rakdos Charm play needs to be put in a compilation video or a highlight reel or something for this channel because that was SO good
Song : Reindeer ran over grandma
Josh's Version : Reindeer piloting submarine tramples grandma while she's taking a dip in the ocean.
Right :)))
Close enough
Grandma got run over by a reindeer piloting a submarine; duh.
Jimmy explaining his thought process after the rakdos charm was absolutely hilarious!
The express Vpn ad was pretty great too.
Bro the g fuel had me dying
The Grinch scene made me laugh really hard.
Flavor episodes are by far my favorite! Great video. They are much more interesting and fun to watch than a standard EDH video, each deck is way more unique than otherwise. You get to see awesome (sub-optimal) cards instead of blue/red staple #32.
Omfg this is the BEST intro ever made. I laughed wayyyy to hard hahaha
Den Burgos I couldn't stop laughing at Craig's part, had to go back and watch it again, lol
That intro was legendary!!
Also so glad that josh Kim is back
This was amazing, i loved the intro skits that would have taken so long. Mad props to you guys, and merry christmas to The Command Zone.
That intro!!! The production values and creativity are always impressive 😁👍
GG - Jimmy's Roast + Open Fire 🤣🎄🔥
Wait, so Jimmy killed three players and lost the game, but Josh Kim didn't kill anyone and won? Magic is awesome!
Dude Spoilers!
@@bmaxarnold5742
Why are you reading comments before the video is over? :P
@@TheAverageGuyTAG Its called buffering smh
@@kevinhoskins9320 You don't go to the comments while it's buffering... like...get off youtube if you're doing that and then complaining about spoilers, the comments are obviously going to be comments about the video you haven't watched :')
@@Wolfer1OOO I wasn't complaining. Also, why would I read the comments when I could go to a different video? Reading people making jokes about an already seen video is pointless when I could go and see another is poimtless... My comment was a joke, not actual reasoning.
The opening broke me. Especially Frosty the Titans.
That intro segment was 10/10. Amazing work everyone and happy holidays!
Best start ever! So well done, hilarious! Thank you for the great episode!!!
"I have a reindeer in a vehicle, man." Perfect.
Time to yeet like never before.
A very “math is for blockers” moment XD I love it
This was the most epic ending to a game knights I've ever seen 😂
I feel like toggo and kodama would have been a perfect rocking around the Christmas tree
"Yippie ka-yay, mother of runes"
you guys had a lot of fun with that extended intro, well done.
That ending...was _spectacular_ in so many ways.
Also, props to your sponsor vids and the Christmas movie spoofs you all did. You've been putting so much effort into your little segments like those and it really shows.
Yo can we just appreciate the holiday spoof videos and the editing from the beginning.
That opening movie sequence was absolutely fantastic. Love the continued consistent creativity from the team.
Probably the best use of Rakdos Charm I've ever seen, regardless of how it ended
Denying someone kiki-jiki/splinter twin style combos is also funny.
My playgroup consist of 2 rakdos players and since I am known by them for huge token plays with some of my decks. They play the charm as a standard against me. Same is true with graveyard hate (they say you never cast a card only once, it looks your deck always have 3 copies instead of 1)
This is one of the funniest episodes I've seen!
Happy holidays Game Knights!
Awesome production! This is already a Christmas gift for me, thanks a bunch! Happy Holidays!🎅
My favorite "show" was Craig with no infect sign and the Grinch that blew up the land
I would have loved to see someone play a hate deck with the song “you’re a mean one Mr. Grinch.” 😂
Blim, Comedic Genius.
Probably a gruel or a jud deck where u hit everyone in the face.
@@dillongause7528 Vorinclex, mono green xD
Nah. Pako, Haldan or Yasova steal your stuff deck.
that would be fun
utterly hilarious and absurd ending; love y'all's content and thanks for the past year of it!
Love these guys so much. They are very informative, and really show how fun this game is. You guys are the reason I got back into magic, and have been very helpful with allowing me to learn new strategies as well as new ways to build decks.
I would’ve built rockin around the Christmas tree as Toggo and Kodama, but that’s kinda already been done before on Game Knights.
Yeah, toggo is so sweet
dammit how is that so perfect
All of the parodies at the beginning were great 😂 and wow what a crazy ending! So much fun to watch 😊
Hi Jess,
One of the prime unwritten laws in Commander: Never make deals with a dead player.
Thanks for all the content guys !! I really enjoyed all of it ❤️ can’t wait for next year .. happy holidays everyone 🎄🍾
and stay save 🤘🏻
It’s implied that grandma has been a certified scuba diver, in every Christmas song.
You guys, THAT INTRO WAS AMAZING! thanks for the great entertainment and Merry Christmas to everyone at the Command Zone!
"Nothing says Christmas like Dragonskull Summit"
😂 Love Josh Kim.
This was excellent! I LOVED Jimmy's deck idea and I might make a nice mana burn deck myself now!
I just wanna note how Boros, then Mono-White, took back-to-back games here.
Just had to bring the power level of the other decks down to whites level for it to happen!
To be fair Jimmy could have won but misplayed.
Ever heard of Darien, King of Kjeldor?
@@warlordg9544
Yeah, casual mono w token commander
So much power oh my
@@monowhite7989 Well of all mono white decks its the best in my opinion, if i want to go competitive ill go simic
Good job youtube telling me 26 seconds after upload! So excited!!!
Smol Brain: Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie
Big Brain: Die Hard *is* a Christmas movie
Galaxy Brain: Die Hard is a Christmas *song*
I speak for myself but i believe everybody would like to see more commander games with your best decks. A real match to see who built the "best deck" of you guys personal collection. Love you guys
Lady deserves this entirely hahahahahahahaha. Never let the guy who can talk his way out of anything live EVER
That's the beauty of it though. He can talk his way into living because hes so good.
Those movie parodies were awesome, would love to see more things like that in future episodes.
Best episode in years. You guys should do more like that. Is not about the optimal play, but to having fun with whatever nonsense you're playing cause you can. Happy holidays guys.
Loved the intro ! Put a smile on my face.
