That's what happened when I tried to put together a semi functional budget edh deck using only the cards I had without bothering to buy new ones. Everybody else at the table spent hundreds or even thousands of bucks on their stuff and I'm like "Well, let's bring Memnarch then because that can steal all their fancy cards and the rest of the deck doesn't have to be good, we'll just add rocks to ramp so he can use his ability more, and when we're out of rocks... Add junk that will confuse them." The whole table was cracking up over my playing Glasses of Urza. "I'm just going to tap this now and look to see how screwed I am"
In the Commander justice system, the planeswalkers are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the cards that represent the characters, and the players who build their decks around them. These are their stories. *_[DANDAN]_*
This game was epitome of entertainment watching others play a game the laughter and trolling behavior was amazing. I can watch decks combo off anywhere this was special
It really inspires me to build a deck where the individual cards are rubbish, but they have enough synergy to occasionally win. A play like making an opponent's land into an island until end of turn and then hitting them for lethal with Dandan would just be SO epic! 🤣
My favorite game was against an opponent who kept trying to steal the top instant or sorcery from my library. I was playing with Enrage and my only instant/sorceries were "one damage to each creature". So much frustration there...
I have an entire deck around this strategy which is also my chaos deck. It’s so fun giving people rogue sky captain or play custody battle on their prosper. Shutting down the artifact decks with Kill Switch or nullifying swing decks with a bubble matrix. Nice fog bank, it’s the same as my Kambal now.
This is the goal, the pinnacle of gameplay. Nobody can stop your strategy when its jank and fun. Favorite decks are pure jank like making Reaperking free to cast and sacrificing him for Commander Storm effects. Not a single card combos with anything BUT my commander. Or life hurts Licia. I want to die or almost die and thats my winning strat so stuff like soulgorger orgg which makes my lifetotal one on etb for 6 mana is perfect (genuinely one of the worst cards printed)
Blood pet is actually pretty good if you get it early it basically lets you spend a mana on a card you will play on a future turn and gives you a weak meat shield you can read in to help pay for something later
Can you guys link the videos in your shorts? I was intrigued and wanted to see the video but I have no clue which it is on the main channel and I'm not about to watch all of them :\
I think the Gilded Drake/Sakashima's Will play later in this episode will go down as my favorite Commander At Home moment ever. Just so much sheer stupid joy happening in the span of like 3 minutes
One time in Arena, I was playing a Gandalf the White deck and my opponent was playing the old Etali. When they attacked, they accidentally hit a Farewell from my deck and casted it before conceding
I am legit thinking about building a jank Commander deck around Thrulls, as I am old and used to have play sets of a few of them, so seeing Blood Pet come down made me kinda happy. (For full nostalgia, I was also thinking about running Thrulls and Thallids.)
I love playing decks in any card game that makes your opponent say "what the fuck is that". Sometimes in deckbuilding, doing the funny thing is better than doing the right thing.
Back before Commander was a format, I made a casual Blue Beatdown deck with Dandân, Unstable Mutation, and a few 'Your land is now an island" cards. It could reliably win on turn 4 by swinging with big creatures like it was a green deck. Now that I think about it, I could probably built a Pauper version of it and have it be a legit, legal deck. lol
I remember running Circle of Protection: Black in my enchantment deck and everyone at the table was confused why I did that. After protecting myself from dozens of triggers and combat damage I was the only one at the table at one point with over 30 life. Including the black player who was doing the damage to everyone.
@@majinvegeta6364 What is weird about her takes, specifically where it applies to a format that was designed from it's inception to be as non competitive as possible?
@@majinvegeta6364 I don't know the specifics. I know that you said that this clip scares you about her being on the committee, and this clip is her being silly about deck building. It implies that the worrisome part is that she's not competitive enough to make rules about the format. I don't *know* anything about your concerns, just what I can assume based off of what you wrote. As the saying goes, "When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." and I'd much rather not assume about anyone. Lay it out clear, so that there's no mistakes based off of assumptions.
Dandân is not a weird name, it's just a very very very big fish, and the enemy of all mermen. It's a creature from 1001 Nights. You know the Arabic story that introduced Aladdin, Ghouls, Sinbad, Ali Baba, etc. Although Aladdin and Ali Baba weren't actually in the original, but was added later by a French man.
I always make sure to put cards I like into my decks. Do you know how many good enchantments I have in Bant that got put aside for Befriending the Moths? Or the ironic savior of my artifact deck, Ornithopter. And I have an aggro Azorius deck that includes no enchantments because a joke it can pull is casting Tempest of Light EVERY TURN.
I'm looking through some of my loose piles of cards right now, and just as she plays dandan, i pick up a handful of cards, and the very first card is dandan
I made a Sivitri Scarzam Commander deck where there is ZERO text in the text boxes that is not italicized. It is a Commander legal and Pauper EDH legal deck with NO abilities.
People wonder why I play Glasses of Urza and Storm Crow in my Memnarch EDH deck, or why I randomly seem to have Kaervek's Hex, a situational and terrible wipe, in my mono black Erebos EDH deck...
Normally, 60 in a constructed ("build a deck from all the cards you own") format or 40 in limited ("here are some cards, build a deck") format. These nice people are playing Commander, however, which is a format with 100-card decks (one of which is the commander with some special rules going on), and no duplicates other than basic lands.
Okay honestly, I feel like the only time I see more than one woman at a time playing stuff like Magic and D&D is when there's a camera on. I've honestly never seen more than one female in a game shop at a time besides the owner's wife. Maybe times have changed, I don't know, but it kind of irks me there weren't more female nerds out there in the 90s that weren't playing games like there are now.
I was building a blue/white deck as I watched this. I added dandân to the deck because of this. It does not fit into the deck in any way and actively makes the deck worse, and I can't not put it in my deck now (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
*Adjusts glasses* Umm, actually you're constructing decks. Deck Building is a game mechanic where all players start with essentially the same decks and purchase more cards over the course of the game via a market or something similar.
My "what the hell is this?" deck is Horobi, Death's Wail. There's so many obscure cards in that deck I spend half the time in games with new people explaining what the hell I just cast
Dandan is a format defining card
Take my like
yeah I bet it's great in the "you must play optimally but losing is winning" format
@@Lightning_Lanceno, Dandan really does have it's own format. Card market played it a little while back. It's nutty.
It top 8 a pro tour so yeah
@@aarlavaan It's a dumb format so of course it's fun to play. Dandân is the best card ever printed.
Every deck should have at least one card that makes the average opponent say "...hold on, what is that card?"
For my alela deck I run zurs weirding just for that reason
That's what happened when I tried to put together a semi functional budget edh deck using only the cards I had without bothering to buy new ones.

@@ryangainey94Yes, I love using Glasses of Urza to look at my own hand.
Madblind Mountain is my nominee
Me putting Adventurer's Guildhouse in all my green decks.
Fucking Dandan, i died on the spot

*_[DANDAN]_*
Lmao this is such a stretch of a joke but it tickled me.
The award for most clever comment of the year goes to....
God 😂 Watching Olivia laughing hysterically through basically any play was a riot lol
Yes Jimmy Fallon is hilarious
When you have it. It's broken. When your opponent steals it. It's unplayable
thats why i love synergy heavy decks
Whats your faves (top 3)@@filipthunell8631
DANDAN APPROACHES
My friend introduced me to the DanDan format and I'm digging it so far.
It's the best format of Magic, it's cheap, it's easy to play, it's super complex still, and it's lots of fun.
I haven't laughed so hard watching Commander at Home than this episode. Fantastic episode!
This game was epitome of entertainment watching others play a game the laughter and trolling behavior was amazing. I can watch decks combo off anywhere this was special
It really inspires me to build a deck where the individual cards are rubbish, but they have enough synergy to occasionally win. A play like making an opponent's land into an island until end of turn and then hitting them for lethal with Dandan would just be SO epic! 🤣
This is the best way to play Magic IMO lol
Mono blue horse.
That's pretty much what Aristocrats is.
A bunch of 'what the hell is this?' In one deck.
Scarecrows, where if you don't have reaper king, the cards are basically only good to filter mana
My favorite game was against an opponent who kept trying to steal the top instant or sorcery from my library.
I was playing with Enrage and my only instant/sorceries were "one damage to each creature".
So much frustration there...
“Format all-star” Dandan, ladies and gentlemen
“This is garbage. You actually like this?”
Yes. Yes I do
This episode was so good
What episode was it?
I knew a guy named Dan in high school who made a Dandăn deck
I have an entire deck around this strategy which is also my chaos deck. It’s so fun giving people rogue sky captain or play custody battle on their prosper. Shutting down the artifact decks with Kill Switch or nullifying swing decks with a bubble matrix. Nice fog bank, it’s the same as my Kambal now.
I have never seen this channel but it came up in my feed and now I NEED to see this Dandan episode.
The fact that Olivia unironically runs Dandan in a commander deck is just awesome. Always keep your opponents guessing. 🤣
This is the goal, the pinnacle of gameplay. Nobody can stop your strategy when its jank and fun. Favorite decks are pure jank like making Reaperking free to cast and sacrificing him for Commander Storm effects. Not a single card combos with anything BUT my commander.
Or life hurts Licia. I want to die or almost die and thats my winning strat so stuff like soulgorger orgg which makes my lifetotal one on etb for 6 mana is perfect (genuinely one of the worst cards printed)
I NEED THAT DECK LIST
Blood pet is actually pretty good if you get it early it basically lets you spend a mana on a card you will play on a future turn and gives you a weak meat shield you can read in to help pay for something later
I can’t begin to, and never want to, understand this game, but they seem like they’re having fun so I’m happy for them
I was not expecting Dandan, but I'm so glad he showed up
I legitimately ran Dandan in my Merfolk deck back in like 1996. I felt this video.
my goal is to make people ask "what is that card?" then "That kinda sucks" then "Oh shoot how is that so broken!"
Can you guys link the videos in your shorts? I was intrigued and wanted to see the video but I have no clue which it is on the main channel and I'm not about to watch all of them :\
I think the Gilded Drake/Sakashima's Will play later in this episode will go down as my favorite Commander At Home moment ever. Just so much sheer stupid joy happening in the span of like 3 minutes
This episode was so unhinged...
The new sol'kanar and the izzet gandalf' are to of my, you play these cards
As someone who made a deck around Joven, I appreciate this far too much.
Blood Pet is a cEDH staple for a reason
When the deck you play is smarter then you, you know that the table is in for a wild ride
My pet card I put in every red deck is like this: Mountain Goat
One time in Arena, I was playing a Gandalf the White deck and my opponent was playing the old Etali. When they attacked, they accidentally hit a Farewell from my deck and casted it before conceding
So fun fact they could have chose not to cast the spell because etali has a may ablity
@@dess8815 ikr. That was probably an oopsie cast lol
I am legit thinking about building a jank Commander deck around Thrulls, as I am old and used to have play sets of a few of them, so seeing Blood Pet come down made me kinda happy. (For full nostalgia, I was also thinking about running Thrulls and Thallids.)
highly recommend endrek sahr for that thrill build because I have a thrull tribal deck with him and it was surprisingly cheap besides thrull champion
@@kingfuzzy2 Thanks! I'll take a look into that :D
4/1 for 2 is busted. Blue can't keep getting away with this
legit i played with diaden back in 1997. its an ancient card.
Olivia is my favorite MTG personality. Our philosophies align perfectly.
I have the urge to play my Narwhal Card in a deck now
White border blood pet..... I remember using black border to ramp in black for early juzam or even derelor
I love playing decks in any card game that makes your opponent say "what the fuck is that". Sometimes in deckbuilding, doing the funny thing is better than doing the right thing.
First time I’ve seen a bloodpet
Dandan is a good blocker
What kind of MTG deck you building?
Yu Gi Oh

I miss me and my friends playing mtg commander
But I actually like that blood pet art he’s so cute lol
What episode is this?!?!? I must watch it!!!!
Ayo kibbler is alive
I play Forbidden Friendship in Halana & Alena and it will never leave the deck because it always makes opponents crack up at what it implies
I remember running Circle of Protection: Black in my enchantment deck and everyone at the table was confused why I did that.
After protecting myself from dozens of triggers and combat damage I was the only one at the table at one point with over 30 life. Including the black player who was doing the damage to everyone.
This is what scares me about her being on the Rules Committee
Why does it scare you?

Dandan was my key card in my first deck. Was pauper LOL
Blood pet ❤
I'm taking Oliva and Jim's idea with the "hidden gems" of Shivam and Wheeler love magic with Neera the wild mage
Dandan is such a weird name 😂😂😂
Dandân is not a weird name, it's just a very very very big fish, and the enemy of all mermen. It's a creature from 1001 Nights. You know the Arabic story that introduced Aladdin, Ghouls, Sinbad, Ali Baba, etc.

Oh, is he playing Shirei? Blood Pet works well with Shirei.
Spite is my favorite tribal.

Link to full Episode?
Full episode?
Oh my god, is Dan Dân called that, because it's a Jaws reference?
Dan dan.. dan dan.. dandandandan.. ⛵🦈
Playing Dandan makes her very attractive.
That’s the worst nightmare for Etari player when they say “ what da hex is this garbage on your top deck”
Fucking Dandân! 😂😂
Does anyone have a link to the video?
I just noticed that brian looks like Tom Segura but not fat his beard looks identical
A Dan Dan 🎉😂 wtf
I play Clackbridge Troll in any black deck I make.
What the hell is this ???
I laughed so hard.
oh blood pat can be resicelt thats nice
Blood pet and then Dandan awesome lol is it 2001
Bring back Islandhome!!!!

So this was just build a deck with cards no one wants?
Dandan is what blue players get when they complain about having the weakest creatures compared to other colors.
Most of my decks result in very disappointed etalis
Commander ....its participation trophy Magic
Different *FROM,* not different "than".

*Adjusts glasses* Umm, actually you're constructing decks. Deck Building is a game mechanic where all players start with essentially the same decks and purchase more cards over the course of the game via a market or something similar.
I have yet to find a channel that plays commander with a table of normal people. I need a good channel. It's frustrating.
Incredibly not funny go away
