Tolarian Community College instead of equipment for planeswalkers when do you think we can expect oaths for garruk, sorin, karn, Elspeth, huatli, and kiora?
I can see it now equipment for planeswalkers. @wizards rd guys you know what people love planeswalkers and equipment why don't we make equipment for planeswalkers.
The way the professor explained the jacetice league defeat the eldrazi titans was spot on. The guys who wrote that one sounded like they drank some of jhoira's time water.
That story plot literally made me stop reading the stories. The fact that these unstoppable other worldly horrors had to be sealed away by past far more powerful planeswalkers, only to be stopped by the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. It would be one thing if they sealed them with that fireball nonsense, but instead they just straight up killed the titans, making me lose all faith the story will ever be rewarding.
I love how in the video for your first preview card Melissa said "I have this really cool Saga on the mending if you want that" and then a week later (possibly due to a time rift) here it is.
fast forward to three years later and the professor gets passed over for a strixhaven card. school of magic and no card for the professor? makes me sad.
I love the subtle move where Prof puts the Vodka into his jacket. As you were given the 'Time water' before being sent back to the explosion there's a chance it could have been consumed before the event getting you to the interview in the first place.
Agreed. Also, the anime references in this video made me realize: Jhoira is not only one of Magic's more iconic cosplays to choose from; but her hair and outfit is probably among the ones that are most easily mistaken for belonging to an anime.
Love that prof isn't afraid to throw shade on the original storylines too, mostly because I haven't heard much about them and the descriptions in here are hilarious!
I am so glad you enjoy them, and thank for the kind words. I am able to put so much effort in, because I have both the uncontainable passion for this game and its community, and also I am blessed to be able to work full time. I do literally work 7 days a week most weeks, from early morning until late at night. It's a time commitment that would not be possible without the support of everyone, watching, commenting, sharing, subscribing, passing along to friends, and supporting on Patreon if and when it is possible. All of this makes the channel a full time job for me, and it is the best job I have ever had, could have ever had, will ever have. Thank you all.
Tolarian Community College How would you react if WoTC approached you with the oppurtunity of your likeness being on a card, being a voice actor in a MtG animated series, or narrator in audiobooks/ audio-companion of the books that the Innovator wrote? Regardless whether or not you answer, just want to let you know that my MtG friend group and I greatly value your work and hope you continue to prosper in the future! -BDH
leon devalire I can only imagine Chandra's reaction to Bolas being close to immune to her fire. Chandra:" I burned two world eating Space Cthulhus to death at the same time. Why is Nicol Bolas not even getting sun-burned."
Awesome Jhoira of the Ghitu! When the Professor was saying "..He Must Be Stopped!" made me remember his Office Hours with Gideon, Gideon: "He Must Be Stopped!" Professor: "You need to strive to be more complex than He-Man".
Omg that time water joke literally made my tea travel backwards in... ...to and back out of my nose. Im dying from laughing, thanks prof! You're great!
Wow, just wow, not only the best Office hours so far, prof has the smoothest spoilers, you're really outdoing yourself prof, content has never been so good, keep it up! :D
Amazing video as always. You’re a really funny guy, and always manage to keep me involved in the Magic community even when I don’t have much time to play. Also, did not expect this video to turn into a reveal.
what the hell do you mean "Were not fighting Bolas in Gundams"? That would be the most confusing shit ever! "WHAT ARE THESE METAL DEATH SUITS WITH WINGS? THEY LOOK EXTREMELY IMPRACTICAL YET THEY MOVE LIKE THEY'RE ON A 3 HOUR DEADLINE"
Tyler Gehring Plus on Ixalan Jace was like "Hey, Vraska I'll see you in Ravnica, just gotta meet up with homies on Dominaria but I won't stay there too long (y'know, probably one expansion and a core set's worth of time)"
Time water is your best bet. Never fails to fix any of my problems... well... until the next morning. But hey, a temporary solution is still a solution!
I wish I could subscribe twice, hilarious video! Office hours get me every time, even as someone who doesn't really know that much about the lore. Entertaining and educational :D
Morton Fork i mean, the Gatewatch has flaws. They're just dumb. They stick too hard to their single colorness. Not sure what the racism comment is about.
Nissa used to be racist but then suddenly wasn't anymore when they decided they needed a new main green planeswalker. Also watch the Nissa office hours video.
James Blunt aaaah right! I forgot about that. I've recently been ignoring all the newer stuff and just reading the old stuff because it doesn't annoy me as much so I've forgotten some of the newer story.
Yeah, the racism comment was in reference to the Nissa office hours video, which does a pretty good job of summarising why a lot of people aren't big fans of the gatewatch. They really aren't interesting as characters IMO.
"are you sure you're not an escaped mental patient?" I'm PRETTY sure that description fits on basically everyone of the original Dominarian heroes. Oh, and also: wasn't going back in time to kill Bolas already a thing that happened? Iirc, at the end of the Kamigawa novels, Toshiro Umezawa (yes, the guy with the Jitte) is transported to ancient Dominaria by the Myojin of Night's Reach to ultimately become ancestor of the guy that defeated Bolas the first time. I've always felt that was kind of a weird and time travel-y thing - unless, obviously, Kamigawa just happened ages before the old magic storylines
Kamigawa block happens thousands of years before the main story line. The Myojin of Night's Reach could travel between planes, to wherever there is darkness, but not through time
The professor must be playing some crazy graveyard recursion shenanigans, given just how often he comes back from the dead. My theory? He has an in with Hell's Caretaker and an endless supply of goat tokens. I'm onto you, Prof!
Prof totally stashed that vodka. The comparison between him and actual professors deepens. (I had a professor who kept a bottle in his desk, tenure is a beautiful thing)
Very special thanks to guest star TappyToeClaws! Check out more from her: @TappyToeClaws on Twitter!
She was one of the better actresses/characters!
Who is this...'TappyToeClaws'?? Does Tappy have a real name?
Tolarian Community College instead of equipment for planeswalkers when do you think we can expect oaths for garruk, sorin, karn, Elspeth, huatli, and kiora?
Yay I’m early
Tolarian Community College You stole her "time water".
Professor: We are not fighting Bolas in Gundams
Me: WHY THE HELL NOT THAT WOULD BE EPIC
I mean fuck, Saheeli and Huatli are building Dinobots, are Gundams that out of the ordinary?
I can see it now equipment for planeswalkers. @wizards rd guys you know what people love planeswalkers and equipment why don't we make equipment for planeswalkers.
Xepscern That's a thing?
Would love this new legendary TYPE...
Because then Bolas would show up in his own Gundam.
"My students: Jace, Chandra, Liliana, Gideon and the other one..."
Savage Professor. Just savage.
Suzy Cyanide I had a drink and my mouth and snorted....
GamerMc93 Nissa will be crying into her bottle of time-water tonight.
Is it referring to Nissa or Ajani? Bc Nissa left the gate watch
He was referring to "his students" specifically, so most likely Nissa.
The less said about current Nissa the better...they retconned a great character with real flaws to overcome in the name of PC.
"Because shut up, that's why!" My favorite line in the history of Office Hours.
This is my faviorate episode of office hours
Dr Schuurmans you do know that it wasn't wedge who played garruk 🤣🤣
Sounds like the kinda stuff my kids say to each other when fighting. lol
I liked the part about time water.
And it sounds like something Jhoira would actually say.
The way the professor explained the jacetice league defeat the eldrazi titans was spot on.
The guys who wrote that one sounded like they drank some of jhoira's time water.
Elspeth Tirel was the aged time water. That stuff sends me really far forward in time. Across space too
Or watched Star Wars.
They forgot about the part when Jace played chess with Emrakul, which made Emrakul ragequit so hard, she locked herself in the moon.
That story plot literally made me stop reading the stories. The fact that these unstoppable other worldly horrors had to be sealed away by past far more powerful planeswalkers, only to be stopped by the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. It would be one thing if they sealed them with that fireball nonsense, but instead they just straight up killed the titans, making me lose all faith the story will ever be rewarding.
@Elspeth Tirel, when are you gonna get an Office Hours?
As a student I can confirm time water helps a lot
I love how in the video for your first preview card Melissa said "I have this really cool Saga on the mending if you want that" and then a week later (possibly due to a time rift) here it is.
fast forward to three years later and the professor gets passed over for a strixhaven card. school of magic and no card for the professor? makes me sad.
"We are not fighting Bolas in Gundams" XD made me laugh for quite some time
Same here! That part made me laugh so hard!
Yup. Unless this whole thing ends in a Gundam fight against Bolas, I will be disappointed
I was all like, "Hell yea we are! I'm with Jhoira!"
I love the subtle move where Prof puts the Vodka into his jacket.
As you were given the 'Time water' before being sent back to the explosion there's a chance it could have been consumed before the event getting you to the interview in the first place.
That *was* a subtle move; I didn't even notice until you pointed it out!
... why WOULDN'T you fight Bolas with Gundams though?
MaRo doesn't like them
Why doesn't he want us to have nice things!? Haha
Павел Карев Can't tell if you're making a joke or referring to an obscure interview.
vehicle - mech sounds fine to me...
Mechwarriors. It was really popular at the time. Urza's mech looked like a Mad Cat.
When she said "Gotta go!" at the end I expected her to take a real big swig of 'time water' and pass out.
damn her outfit and hair is great
Wild Gengar so is your profile picture 👌
Agreed.
Also, the anime references in this video made me realize:
Jhoira is not only one of Magic's more iconic cosplays to choose from;
but her hair and outfit is probably among the ones that are most easily mistaken for belonging to an anime.
I love both
>makes a gut-bustingly beautiful episode of Office Hours to spoil a single rare
Never change, Prof...
"Jace, Chandra, Gideon, Liliana, and the other one"
SHADE
Nissa, a plant loving hippie who left the gatewatch
Oona, queen of the FiremindΦ wait, why did she leave? When did she leave? I'm so confused.
Miss... Ravine, was it?
I... think. Was their name... Freyalise?
in the first episode of Dominaria
seems like Jhoira might have to get suspended after that
3 time counters from time water alone
Ba-dum-tss. ;)
Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be a student in the Office Hourse AU. She's a visiting "expert".
Exactly. Exile her from your hand, put 4 time counters on her, just for 2 mana
"What do you mean he died in the explosion yesterday? Planeswalkers can't die!
What? Ahh, right...Mending..."
The profesor Made best special effects i had never seen. Give this man an Oscar
"Why didn't you blow him up in the present?" Because SHut up that's why
Love that prof isn't afraid to throw shade on the original storylines too, mostly because I haven't heard much about them and the descriptions in here are hilarious!
I'm a big fan of time water
my best part is when professor puts the vodka under his coat.... (thumbs up) respect x)
Loved that summary of Voltron....
By the power of story writing.....the Jacestice League will defeat all!!!
Watched at 2x speed. Still took 20 minutes. Thanks, Jhoira!
I think Jhoira is an internet service provider. Mine started in exile with 4 time counters on it.
His actual preview!!!!!
Yes! Office Hours is back! I missed this series so much!
These never go out well for the Professor.
TheTrueLeafless I'm assuming he's like multani. He's leaving seeds everywhere.
Don't worry he has indestructible and hex-proof
Kumatamo and tap regenerate the Professor
I enJhoid that Office Hours immensely
How can u put so much effort in each vid, like these videos are the ones that u would get once every few months
I am so glad you enjoy them, and thank for the kind words.

Hah hah! that was one of the best segways into a preview i have ever seen! good job professor.
Remember all of these moments, but nailed the thumbs up with the surprise and "time water".
Great performance. Expressions on the Professor were priceless 😂
I am with Jhoira. Mechas are better than just burning your problems away. 😏
leon devalire I can only imagine Chandra's reaction to Bolas being close to immune to her fire.
Chandra:" I burned two world eating Space Cthulhus to death at the same time. Why is Nicol Bolas not even getting sun-burned."
Okay. Now I kinda want to commission art of planeswalkers in Gundams just to spite you.
KoDOmega challenge accepted!
yesssssssssssssssss
Ptolemaios on the Weatherlight, please.
I support this
How to defeat Bolas
Jhoira: Suspend Obliterate, Emrakul, Ulamog, Kozilek.
JaceMD015 Can I Mindbreak that for 0 on the stack?
Jordan Randall McKendrick then my Force of Will, Counterspell, Counterflux, Rewind, Acne of Denial, Deprive, and Pyroblast is Ready.
But we can’t do that! The Jacetice League already killed the Eldrazi!
James Gray Hmmm, alternative can be a Blight Steel Colossus!
Bolas is like what 7 mana? He's defeated before he even arrives... ;)
So now I'm just thinking about War of the Spark, and 30 planeswalkers all in color coordinated Gundams. It'd be the most anime thing ever.
Awesome Jhoira of the Ghitu!
When the Professor was saying "..He Must Be Stopped!" made me remember his Office Hours with Gideon,
Gideon: "He Must Be Stopped!"
Professor: "You need to strive to be more complex than He-Man".
This is great makes me glad that The Professor came to Magic, he's great, thanks!!!
Wait, why AREN'T we fighting Bolas with Gundams?
With the number of times the Prof has been "killed" by his students....are we SURE he's not an immortal planeswalker?
These really don't come out often enough. They're all so great!
Omg that time water joke literally made my tea travel backwards in...
...to and back out of my nose. Im dying from laughing, thanks prof! You're great!
So, the professor has died a couple of times by now, is he actually inmortal or there are just a huge amount clones laying around?
Henry B the professor is a 1/1 with indestructible hexproof and tap regenerate the professor
He's an adjunct professor token generated by the Tollarian Community College land, but only when you don't already control another of his token.
Wow, just wow, not only the best Office hours so far, prof has the smoothest spoilers, you're really outdoing yourself prof, content has never been so good, keep it up! :D
I love this episode so much, great humor good roleplay
at 1:10 did he make a jab at Nissa?
Who?
Or ajani
Haha, coming from an old MtG player who loved the storyline of the Urza/Weatherlight saga, I totally loved this. :)
"Not Good. I feel not good about it;.....". Delivery was perfect....
"Jace, Chandra, Liliana, Gideon and the other one"
Exactly how I remember it.
Thanks for not having too many spoilers! Im currently trying to read through the lore
I freaking lost it when you started describing the card. Keep up the great work Prof
Amazing video as always. You’re a really funny guy, and always manage to keep me involved in the Magic community even when I don’t have much time to play. Also, did not expect this video to turn into a reveal.
Awwwww I KNEW there'd be more spoilers from you, and this one gives me such happy feels, because in many ways you DO mend our community.
Taking the piss out of both pre- and post-mending stories- well played, Professor.
One of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen in a while.
This is glorious. Professor you are a breath of fresh.
what the hell do you mean "Were not fighting Bolas in Gundams"? That would be the most confusing shit ever!
"WHAT ARE THESE METAL DEATH SUITS WITH WINGS? THEY LOOK EXTREMELY IMPRACTICAL YET THEY MOVE LIKE THEY'RE ON A 3 HOUR DEADLINE"
Great cosplay! I absolutely loved this skit. Gundams!
this was fantastic. the humor never fails to make me laugh
So it's pretty much confirmed the professor is a 1/1 with defender, can't block, and indestructible right?
spencer coello no, he’s more like Squee who always comes back (:
I would say more a 0/1
He's a 0/1 Human cleric creature with "At the beggining of your end (video) step, exile the professor from the classroom" You lose one life.
Are we really going back to Ravnica in the fall?! Prof, please tell me you’re not just teasing us!
Saint Deyma that was his prediction that would be returning to ravnica soon.
Saint Deyma yeah, Bolas is going to attack ravnica according to rivals of ixalan lore.
Tyler Gehring Plus on Ixalan Jace was like "Hey, Vraska I'll see you in Ravnica, just gotta meet up with homies on Dominaria but I won't stay there too long (y'know, probably one expansion and a core set's worth of time)"
The story literally already revealed that Bolas plans on attacking Ravnica.
I hope so! That means a good chance of the shock lands coming back yeah?
Time water is your best bet. Never fails to fix any of my problems... well... until the next morning. But hey, a temporary solution is still a solution!
Had fun seeing both of you at the GP. In fact, it looks like you filmed there as well! Neat!
These keep getting better and better
Few videos have made me laugh as hard as this one did. Amazin work, you two!
OMG I JUST REALIZED
YOUR FIRST PREVIEW VIDEO PRE-PREVIEWED THIS PREVIEW
WOW Jhoira is the best. very believable in her roleplay, unlike other later characters... I hope you will make another episode, good actor indeed
I wish I could subscribe twice, hilarious video! Office hours get me every time, even as someone who doesn't really know that much about the lore. Entertaining and educational :D
“Before they could channel their fireball” I like the combo reference there 😉
"We are not fighting Nicol Bolas in Gundams."
Bolas: *laughs and sends in his Evangelions*
They're like Gundams, but with a substantially greater amount of mental anguish - in other words, perfectly in line with Bolas.
I love the sudden glee that the professor exudes right before his Donald Duck impresion.
I love the diversity of your content. Keep up the great work! :)
That mending saga sounds nice for Gitrog or a Tasigur EDH!
I know a certain planeswalking Gundam....
That ultra-deadpan "Riveting". Totes amazeballs. I'm in thtitcheth. ;)
Honestly though, the Planeswalkers do seem dumbed down. The Gatewatch is so one dimensional and the premending Planeswalkers were amaaaazing.
What, did you want characters with complexities and flaws? But racism is bad!
Morton Fork i mean, the Gatewatch has flaws. They're just dumb. They stick too hard to their single colorness.
Not sure what the racism comment is about.
Nissa used to be racist but then suddenly wasn't anymore when they decided they needed a new main green planeswalker. Also watch the Nissa office hours video.
James Blunt aaaah right! I forgot about that. I've recently been ignoring all the newer stuff and just reading the old stuff because it doesn't annoy me as much so I've forgotten some of the newer story.
Yeah, the racism comment was in reference to the Nissa office hours video, which does a pretty good job of summarising why a lot of people aren't big fans of the gatewatch. They really aren't interesting as characters IMO.
I've been waiting for this for so long!
A better preview card? Nice!
Prof these are awesome! Office hours are the best skits!
Hey Prof - great video! May I ask if you have any advice for new UA-camrs making Magic content?
Loved the gundam reference. my all time favorite anime
Jhoira's personality is amazing!
"are you sure you're not an escaped mental patient?"
I'm PRETTY sure that description fits on basically everyone of the original Dominarian heroes.
Oh, and also: wasn't going back in time to kill Bolas already a thing that happened?
Iirc, at the end of the Kamigawa novels, Toshiro Umezawa (yes, the guy with the Jitte) is transported to ancient Dominaria by the Myojin of Night's Reach to ultimately become ancestor of the guy that defeated Bolas the first time. I've always felt that was kind of a weird and time travel-y thing - unless, obviously, Kamigawa just happened ages before the old magic storylines
Kamigawa block happens thousands of years before the main story line. The Myojin of Night's Reach could travel between planes, to wherever there is darkness, but not through time
Someone in the Umezawa clan needs to become a planeswalker
The "Time Water " Joke kkkk
Okay Prof. You earned that like with the "Time Water" bit. Don't think I didn't see you slip it into your jacket either!
I love office hours! Favorite character right here too
Hahaha! Time Water! You drink it and wake up in the future! This is your best joke so far! :D
One of the best office hours yet! 👍
I love how the professor just casually pockets the... time water. -w-
Wizards then proceeds to introduce actual mechs in Neon Dynasty.
The professor must be playing some crazy graveyard recursion shenanigans, given just how often he comes back from the dead.
My theory? He has an in with Hell's Caretaker and an endless supply of goat tokens.
I'm onto you, Prof!
"and the other one" Ok Prof, I had to pause the video and laugh for 3 straight minutes.
Office Hours is always my favorite. TappyToeClaws turned in a really good performance here, too!
Also, RIP Professor! =[
This was probably the best worst segway I've ever seen
congratulation
P.S.: Jhoira is the definition of a "Best Girl"
3:48 Looks like Prof is going to have fun with the time water.
You mentioned Gundams! I love you professor!
Prof totally stashed that vodka. The comparison between him and actual professors deepens. (I had a professor who kept a bottle in his desk, tenure is a beautiful thing)
Tefferi > Two fairy in subtitles. Made my day.
I like how Prof just swiped the TIme Water from Jhoira.
Time water, *sniff* "this is vodka"
Dead 😂😂
