Kibler seems like such a cool guy, I really enjoy his interivews since he comes across as really relaxed and still very passionate about what he does.

[@Musemaniac91]

Kibler is really cool, he always makes me wanna play his decks!

[@TheCabIe]

Kibler's and LSV's deck techs are so good

[@FlareManV2]

Brian Kibler is my Role Model =D He inspired me to start deck teching!

[@Impuracle]

When I see Brian Kibler, I see a love child of Jim Carrey's enthusiastic energy and David "Phreak" Turley's, of Riot Games, voice.

[@mattcruz9060]

Brian Kibler is a really really good magic player.

[@lonewolf975]

i admire players who know how to build a kickass land-base. i honestly do. because its so much harder than it seems. (with the exception of a mono color deck of course.)

[@Shinobi001]

man kibler has lost a good amount of weight and looks a lot different then when i remember playing against him all the time back in the day.(being like 8 years ago). Good to see hes still at it.

[@casperkristensen1730]

wow 17 years ago😌

[@jordanbengualid]

knight of the roxbury

[@kustomkure]

mate, I never said he wasn't a nerd. I said he is one of the most unnerdish ones. that gives you a taste of people playing this game really. :)

[@theChaosKe]

I cant tell why but sometimes brain kibler reminds me of barney from how i met your mother

[@Syreal1234567890]

@MikeBack42 It got thumbs up in the period during the pro-tour where they don't show decklists until after the weekend was over.

[@johnhowe8424]

Wasn't there a hearthstone thing (I don't play hs) where he was: Brian 'please don't call me Brian Brian kibler kibler' kibler?

[@ashleykitchin976]

What?

[@BexIn4k]

Brian Kibler oozes charisma.

[@badlywornshoes]

Brian Kibler is the Jim Carey of MTG.

[@DankAudioStash24]

What a handsome man.

[@MrFreak0r]

sweet deck! its the one i like most so far.

[@MrLawrencecorn]

[@user-zs5wp3vu1w]

+larryand corn True HUAUHAHUAUHUHAHUAHUUHXAUHUHAXUHXA

[@JR-xv6mv]

hahahaha! That's amazing!

[@mtgmicheal4138]

larryand corn so true

[@GenzaiDandy]

I was very surprised with the no Punishing Fire.

[@kourii]

It's in the description, glibbo

[@tophrii]

This has got to be one of the most expensive decks in the format, Cash wise.

[@Musemaniac91]

@theChaosKe Counter---wait for it---CAT!

[@Bentonias]

So much better than all that ritual combo crap!

[@ped0509]

@SproutingThrinax GSZ for dryad arbor works... :)

[@Emperror1]

@SproutingThrinax GSZ for arbor as already said.

[@MagoMinelli]

I thought that Omer from mmohut talked crazy fast...
I was wrong.

[@ry7hym]

wow I wanted to know why he plays bant charm and he immediately talks about bant charm

[@blizzmen]

@pfirpfel
Video discription ?..

[@gothikgamer]

@snorlaxpulls not trolling, just facts.

[@dallas94bass]

Thanks Brain Kibler for getting wild nicaldal band! XD

[@ILIKEITSIMPLE]

To the looks perhaps, but search for the video "Brian Kibler unboxes Premium Deck Series: Graveborn" and thats a great example of how nerdish he really is.

[@gothikgamer]

@snorlaxpulls no, you are last.

[@roycesboy]

@HadesDoomOcculta why?

[@gothikgamer]

you are the last one right now. @snorlaxpulls

[@gothikgamer]

@snorlaxpulls I said that right now, you are the last one, not the first.

[@98smithg]

@snorlaxpulls 'omg i hate kids' coming from the guy who 'firsts' yer your really exuding maturity there matey.

[@richardpointer]

Ragavan sez hello.

[@blizzmen]

@pfirpfel
Ah, I see.
Sorry if I offended you :)

[@mtgmicheal4138]

kibler must of lost it when he saw Bant Knightfall

[@alexgoyo98]

time to battle! LMFAO

[@Option42B]

its not brian kibler that looks like a player,.. its the ppl brian kibler is placed next to that makes him look better... magic players are not known for their incredible sence of fashion ;p

[@LAZERPEOPLZ]

Brian Kibler almost talks as fast as me.....I think I have a problem......... ;p

[@yngmalm]

he should ake rich hagons place in everything

[@kustomkure]

he is one of the most unnerdish players in MTG

[@patrickedwards8518]

One of the best looking men I've ever seen,too. I'm straight, not gay, but even I know how to spot a good-looking and unnerdish MTG player like myself. And besides, there's nothing wrong with being gay, if anyone happens to be so. It's just a part of who you are.

[@98smithg]

@snorlaxpulls An ironic rose is still a rose snorlax and i never questioned your age, you could be 30 for all i care. But your attitude is that of a child i can assure you.

[@skullclamp32]

[@nanobruv]
