This is why we stan. Prof is just such a lovely person who can't stand to see his friends put themselves down - and since that's Spice's favorite form of comedy (I feel it, it's one of mine too), these interactions are quite common. This whole table is amazing and I wish it wasn't parasocial to say I want to be friends with all of them. (Prof, I'm the drummer in a nationally touring band that maybe a few thousand people have heard of, get your people in contact with mine!)
@@doylerudolph7965he is, in the kindest way i can possibly say, an azorious player for sure. (Loves control of the table/being archenemy, cares for his people, loves foiling others gameplans)
We dont care about pronouns or your identity or preference- we dont need to know. Im glad this phase is fading fast. Yes i said "we" - yes i mean the 90% of ppl that dont care. Deal....
As a non native English speaker the best thing about Shuffle Up & Play is that I learn the correct pronounciation of so many Magic Characters, when Prof censors the swear words
on that note it's proNUNciation not pronounciation i know its annoying because it's a variation of the word pronounce so pronounciation makes sense intuitively but that's not what the word is. it's proNUNciation and you pronounce the middle part same as nun
If anyone still doubted whether Prof started playing as early as he claims, admitting that Baron Sengir was the coolest thing ever has ended all debate.
@@amarauk9687 Merfolk was a thing. I remember having a merfolk deck all the way back when Fallen Empires was the newest set. Sunken City, Merfolk of the Pearl Trident, Lord of Atlantis, Vodalian Soldier, Vodalian Mage, Svyelunite Priest, River Merfolk and Vodalian Knight. Also used Flight in it and Unstable Mutations. Oh, and Counterspell of course. - No, I didn't use the warmachine. Merfolk, Goblins and Zombies were the first true tribal decks with Goblin King, Lord of Atlantis and Zombie Master. Merfolk and Zombies had Bad Moon and Sunken City for additional +1/+1. Goblins were stuck with using Orcish Oriflame for the time being. Old, old magic tribal was a thing though.
I love the accidental(?) ludo-narrative harmony of the nostalgia deck game have tons to do with time; two players with future sight (with the time-traveling magus arriving before the enchantment he's inspired by), Spice in a time loop of repeating the same turn of recurring the dead to recur the memories of magic to evoke glimpses of what's to come. Even Prof's vampires fitting the theme as immortal beings that never age, with Prof himself referring to his life total like his age as if a kind of Benjamin Button type.
I had a college friend who was playing with Unhinged. His opponent tried putting Cheaty Face into play, but he had a creature that required everything he said to be in the form of a question. They had to ask a judge, “Does the question have to resolve?”
Man, I just love the way Sam plays Magic. I can't imagine anyone more chill to have at your table, you know? The anecdotes and wry jokes add a real, "We're playing poker with an old friend" feeling to the game that is so pleasant. Even if he was beating you down, I can't imagine feeling anything other than like, "Man, this dude is cool to hang out with..."
Ah yes good ole poker with an old friend nothing like sitting at a table drunk off your ass trying to out lie the person you probably know better than yourself! Yep sounds like magic with Sam lmao
The episodes where you have Spice8Rack and RhysticStudy are always such a treat. Everyone at the table has such a good rapport. My only regret is that the game ends.
I'm Just going to say it. This is how commander was meant to be played. This was such a wonderful nostalgic flashback. All of the old cards and all of the classic plays. Honestly the best commander episode on any channel in a long time.
Welcome back to another episode of Snuggle Up and Play, where the Professor sends Sam from Rhystic Studies to sleep by reading the lullaby "Sorin's Vengeance".
Playing one commander game in the tavern that goes to last call when I realize I never got my sandwich and that's why I'm so hungry and fuzzyheaded because I also had three ciders. So then I just scoop to go see if the late night pizza place is still open.
I had a game recently with my friends that lasted 4 hours. Granted two of them were completely new to mtg and we were playing 2 40k/Lotr precons. 6 or 7 boardwipes were played and it was exhausting. Would do it again any time
god i love it when mister rhystic study starts talking, i immediately get taken to a diferent state of mind where i expect to be intrigued and educated.
'When we gather together, We make magic", well said (brought a tear to the eye). Brings back the memories of playing with friends from back in the day. Loved the episode!
Hey prof! @tolariancommunitycollege I just wanted to thank you for getting me into magic. The last 6 months i’ve been dealing with my puppy and somewhat of a down period, i found your channel and have been binging since. You made me buy my first commander deck, made step out of my comfortzone and i took contact with local players here in Norway whom i have been playing with the last weeks. If we ever would be crossing paths, whether in the states or anywhere else in the world, i would like to shake your hand and thank you in person. I now have a new passion, and some new friends. Thank you!
I have to say Prof, this was my absolute favorite episode of Shuffle Up & Play yet! What a fantastic group, and it's even better that it ended the way it did. Honestly reminded me of when I made my first commander deck when Shards of Alara came out (I built a Kresh hydras deck, boy was that a fun time) and all the fun I had with my friends before things got so complex. Seeing that final play really made me stoked, thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment and making me feel like I played a game with old friends.

Love episodes like this. Really captures why everyone fell in love with the format in the first place, just silly goofy (cept for Kenjis lol) decks that we loved. Didnt matter what was good and what wasnt
Prof out here with real spirit of the format energy. You pick a thing you think is cool, put in things that fit the theme and make it work, and after three hours you've finally got a winner.
i would describe Spice's aesthetics in this vido to be otter because of the mustache and long locks and Sam looks like a twunk because of his medium frame and his face gives me "new dad that doesn't wanna have to fight anyone but is not afraid to if needed".
This episode was SOOOO good. Such a trip to the past, to those old games with my friends at the beginning of the Commander journey (2011ish)... Table of 8 with planes (Planechase). Gosh, so good memories. Amazing game... even better players.
The last second sentiment is the perfect capstone for this episode. Magic was indeed made, and the world is a better place for it. Thank you to everyone involved in making this show.
this and the "Otter"-discussion were my favourite bits of the entire episode. Though "Damn, the card only says he/her" "HA! I get out of it by being weird!" is a contender as well
what an amazing pod, playing the best style of commander, the slower, chill meandering kind. Always a delight to see Sam and Spice across from each other, and Kenji enabled so many fun moments. Really, top notch episode, and fantastic work on the editing too
I love how the "format" being played in this episode and the length of the video just match so beautifully. This is the type of Commander I learned to play with! Also Spice and Sam have such insane chemistry
21:30 The standard printing of Crypt Ghast from RVR does still have the Extort reminder text. The Retro Border cards are considered showcase/"premium" printings. They tend to remove the reminder text from all showcase printings, even within the same set the keyword was initially printed. A recent noteworthy example being the Extended Art printings of the Backup creatures from MOM having none of the reminder text for Backup.
I came back into magic when I moved from FL to Oregon to go to college… this was at the middle/end of 2009 and Worldwake had just passed and scars block was starting. I thought that was cool that’s when the professor got back into it. Met the Prof in Orlando a couple years ago and he’s a genuinely nice and humble guy.
LMAO! Oh god... the Dad energy from the Prof was such a great fucking opener.... I AM DYING!!! Like just "Is Otter a sex thing" thinking it was was going to be immediately dropped and then actually having it mildly litigated... I AM JUST LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love when its just banter back and forth for a while with no actual gameplay. It's genuinely just fun and feels like my own table when I play. Cant wait for that Behind the Campus video Prof!
There is truly nothing better then shuffle up and play in the magic community, especially with rhystic and spice. What a treat. Thanks for keeping magic fun professor.
I still have my first two EDH decks, both are tribal. The very first is Olivia Voldaren that does vampire shenanigans and the second is Grimgrin Corpse-Born that goes wide with zombies also, (inadvertently) having a couple of infinite combos.
Congrats on 1million subs. Little early your at 999k but enjoying the shuffle up and plays and as one of the new subs feel the need to say your kinda getting me into Magic the Gathering.

I love this episode/idea. It honestly just inspired me to try to remember all of the cards I had in my first commander deck I built, Reya Dawnbringer. I had just gotten back into Magic around the Shards of Alara block when I discovered what commander was and Reya was my favorite legend from the past. Talk about nostalgia! Also it shows how differently I thought about deck building back then.
Watching you guys have fun playing magic together just brings so much joy to my life and I can always count on shuffle up and play (no matter the guests) to make me laugh and brighten my day. Thanks Prof for everything you do for magic players everywhere. ❤
hey prof, pro tip - use that bloodline keeper to make vampire tokens and tap 5 vampires (during someone else's end step so you don't open yourself up to attacks) to just make your crypt ghast a vampire before losing it to your commander...
Here's my idea for season 3 finale: Pleasant Kenobi, Spice8Rack and Rhystic Studies. The rule for season finales is that they always have Spice and Rhystic Studies.
Woo, congrats Prof! I’ll always love the older cards. It’s wild to hear anyone say they’re unplayable now, cause all I think when I see those Zendikar vampires is how much booty I kicked with them over a decade ago! Also, Rhystic just rolling up to the function in that killer Suspiria shirt. 🖤🔥
I honestly think this is the most game actions I have seen Sam take in any of these games. Like Sam was doing stuff, and effecting the game and so on. I love seeing him here :)

I had just gotten back into Magic around the Shards of Alara block when I discovered what commander was and Reya was my favorite legend from the past. Talk about nostalgia! Also it shows how differently I thought about deck building back then.
Love when Sam and Spice get together. It’s pure magic. Also I’m pretty sure spice is in twink death but like go off with the confidence.
Watching you guys have fun playing magic together just brings so much joy to my life and I can always count on shuffle up and play (no matter the guests) to make me laugh and brighten my day. Thanks Prof for everything you do for magic players everywhere. ❤
"we're just normal men" is such an obscure reference lmao
It truly depends on the corner of the internet you're on, my little corner has so many people referencing it all of the time
Thanks for this amazing finale !
This is now one of my favorite mtg gameplay videos with the commander nostalgia Game Knights one.
The Bioshock 2 multiplayer reference reformatted my brain. How could I forget?
This game was such a joy to watch. Games feel so much more honest with old cards than post-eldraine magic.
I haven't been keeping up with Spice so I haven't seen them in a while but damn that hair and stache are majestic
hey prof, pro tip - use that bloodline keeper to make vampire tokens and tap 5 vampires (during someone else's end step so you don't open yourself up to attacks) to just make your crypt ghast a vampire before losing it to your commander...
The heaven bit was funny. Good job editor
Spice and Sam will forever be my favourite guests of this show, it's never a dull moment with either of them
Here's my idea for season 3 finale: Pleasant Kenobi, Spice8Rack and Rhystic Studies. The rule for season finales is that they always have Spice and Rhystic Studies.
Kudos to the editor and camera crew.... the reaction close ups, the timing of the angle shots, and the tightness of the frame is chef's-kiss!
Nice to see you got Victor Zsasz into Magic
Great episode - really nice to see cards from this era. Excellent cast too!
Grats on the win Prof! Also love the otter/twink chat in pride month, look forward to season 3!
Woo, congrats Prof! I’ll always love the older cards. It’s wild to hear anyone say they’re unplayable now, cause all I think when I see those Zendikar vampires is how much booty I kicked with them over a decade ago!
Also, Rhystic just rolling up to the function in that killer Suspiria shirt. 🖤🔥
1:12:50 small misplay, cryptic command says "tap all creatures your opponents control" so spice should have also tapped all their permanents
I honestly think this is the most game actions I have seen Sam take in any of these games. Like Sam was doing stuff, and effecting the game and so on. I love seeing him here :)
* munches popcorn and snacks with great glee * Been waiting for this, let's go!
Every time this particular group gets together, it's magic! I wish Rhystic Studies could be on every episode.
Hands down my favourite episode, you guys are the best!
Thank you for this nostalgic game

Cool seeing numot… I remember playing that card in my teenage days. Getting back into magic now and love to see these old cards
Let’s go! Love getting Spice, Rhystic, and Kenji together!
