    SHOW NOTES:
    This is it! The episode you’ve all been waiting for.
    Last year, we held an audition to allow one Game Knights fan to appear as a guest on the show. The winner was Jacob Holloway from Columbus, Ohio. We flew him out to LA to “get knighted” and battle it out in an epic Commander game with Jimmy, Josh and Ashlen Rose.
    Jacob brought a deck he calls “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better” but how will it fair against Jimmy’s Anafenza Token strategy? How will it deal with Ashlen’s Colorless Eldrazi deck? And will it have any chance vs Josh’s Roon Blink shenanigans?
    Watch and find out! Because when you challenge the Game Knights, there’s just one rule: ONLY ONE MAY STAND!

    ANSWERS FOR MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR THE EPISODE (and Spoilers)
    1. The CMC of a spell with X in its cost is different in the hand than it is on the stack. When the spell is cast, the CMC changes based on what you pay for the X cost, thus when Jimmy cast his spell, it was an 11CMC spell. It states this clearly on the Gatherer page for Void Winnower: For spells with Variable Colorless in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine if the spell’s converted mana cost is even or not. For example, your opponent could cast Endless One (with mana cost Variable Colorless) with X equal to 5, but not with X equal to 6. (gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=402093)
    2. The reason Ashlen was able to cast cards from her deck that were previously in her graveyard (like the Burnished Hart) is because her graveyard was shuffled back into her library due to the ability on multiple Eldrazi that states "When THISCARD is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles their graveyard into their library."
    3. The Seedborn Muse that Josh owned does not have hexproof - Jacob copied Josh's Seedborn Muse with Lazav, Dimir Mastermind when it went to the graveyard. Lazav has Hexproof, and retains this ability when copying a card.

      @@ismailchishti8577 I think Kozilek has priority 'cause he has the counter on the cast, while Roon ability can be played at instant speed. So basically Kozilek can use his ability before Roon can exile him. I think prio works something like this, but correct me if i'm wrong.

    One of the better Game Knights for a while, nice to get a real solid game. Jacob was fantastic, and bringing a deck that's all about playing off what your opponents do is such a solid choice, all about the 75% theory. Only thing that seems like a shame is him getting eliminated first. Of course, I get it, it wouldn't be a game without treating him like an actual player. Glad to see from the end that he got to do a lot more out there with you guys, and that he was such a good sport about everything.

      Yeah I think he was only eliminated first because Ashlen was so far ahead that she didn't want Jacob casting his commander again to let the other two draw cards. Smart decision on her part. Unfortunately for him, group hug commanders can easily make you a target, especially if you're as far ahead as she was.

Jimmy's Anafeza deck looks like a deck I would use, Abzan is my favorite combination. And Jacob's deck looks so cool. His ability to play all decks he wants must be fun, cuz you can never get bored as you will always pla different things. Also it seems you need to study every aspect of the game well to actually know ow to pilot it, and if not for CDamage he would've probably won this game

The arrogant attitude Ashlen had during that sequence was just so appropriate! That "I'm the boss here!" or "hold my beer" attitude was just hilarious! Those moments of pure drama are what I love so much in Game Knights! I know it's a 3 years old video, but this is one of my favorite episode to date.

      Mana was never the issue. JLK got out Harmonic Sliver with Defense of the Heart.
      Having said that...I would have played Archetype of Aggression or some other creature that would have protected my board. Or, barring that, gotten out one of a few Angels that would have had a Wrath attached to it as an ETB.
      What most people don't understand is that creatures like Kozilek don't matter if they never stick to the board. Having a repeatable, Wrath effect would have won the game for Josh. And since he could have kept blinking creatures as he did over time, he should have been playing spells like Cloudshift to avoid effects like the Cloning or Silumgar.
