I'm starting to think Ben comes over and stays for the weekend like we all did as kids! Is he always at your house? If you need to get him out blink twice....
It's funny how Xolo isn't a "pro gamer". Like, he still misses some interactions and sometimes doesn't make the most optimal play, not because he misplayed but because he genuinely doesn't know it's possible. And I absolutely *love it* !!! Gives this show that old "kitchen table" nostalgia, makes it seem like this is genuinely just a group of friends having fun at home with a game of magic 🥰
OMG the game hasn't evnen started and i'm dying of laughter! Ben and his eternal fight against commander damage is fucking amazing! PLEASE NEVER CHANGE! also thanks for these videos, i love the homey atmosphere and the fun you all are having
I loved watching you guys play. It has a feel of casual kitchen table vibe that I like. I've been watching and repeating some of my favorite episodes. Keep the videos coming 😊
I’m surprised it took until 4:46 for commander damage to come up, it was expecting it to be the first thing mentioned with how passionate Ben is about it 😂
I am ready for the Laughter! Also as an old school Joira player this makes me happy. I gave up my collection of Magic 6 Years ago. I live vicariously through this group.
I tried so hard to pay attention when the camera shifted to Brian & Olivia but Ellie being absolutely adorable and staring at her mommy pretty much the whole match was the highlight for me! Love you guys! This show is amazing & I'm always excited for the next episode!
I have no clue what happened during the commander game because i sat there watching that little lovely doggos for 1 hour and 11 minutes. Best episode ever.
Nothing makes the day better than watching the new commander at home episode. Keep up the great work also happy to see the growth you all are going to get this year. PS happy new year to everyone that sees this comment and wish everyone the best in this upcoming year

I appreciate Olivia's mom energy this game. Keeping things in line so everyone can enjoy the game. Made the game much more enjoyable to watch so thank you :)
Only part way through and it’s so entertaining! You guys are one of my favorite commander gameplay channels! (Also stupid rules thing about Boseiju, it does have to be a basic land. It just needs a basic land type- so a triome or shock or a mystic sanctuary would all be searchable off of Boseiju if they were in the deck)
Commander at Home and LSV are my favorite MTG channels on UA-cam. I look forward to your videos every week. Love BK’s and Olivia’s energy are infectious. Would love to see an episode of Commander at Home with LSV
Favorite channel as always. When is JLK coming on the show? It be great to see a mono colored battle with everyone playing the same color, or everyone playing with 5 color decks. That be sweet!
Ok nice things to say: Kibler is a legend. He can tell his opponents the best moves to make against him and still manages to win. Dogs are cute. Guests are so fun. This show is great and I am so happy it exists. I hate to say this because you can't help it, but Kibler's laugh is really grating to my ears and there's just so much of it! But I am so glad you're all having fun, I really mean it I promise, okay bye!
Yay, more Ben!!! Gotta say, this is one of my fav Commander shows. Lotta commander UA-camrs are in the Pasadena area and that gives me hope I'll run into one at a LGS commander night one day
Ben is such a treat l, always making me laugh til I'm sore, and Xolo was such a good addition to the group. Every episode of commander at home is the best thing I've seen that day
Hey Olivia! I remember a few videos ago you mentioned you had a ton of white bordered lands from a liquidation sale. I'm trying to get my hands on a bunch of them for my decks. If you needed to get some of those boxes out of the house, I'd love to buy a chunk if possible. Much love ❤ Wonderful video, as always!
May I recommend Trealasarra, Moon Dancer as she is both a voltron, and life gain deck. This means Ben is dead to commander damage, and has to win with commander damage.
Wait I found a more cruel idea: Rubina, Soulsinger. She is a bant version of Merieke so imagine. You steal his commander, then use greens buff spells to kill with commander damage. Also since you have white and green to have life gain to force him to kill you with commander damage, so you can use the buffs against him.
Gotta say never missed an episode. Love to see Olivia and Brian plus I love to see Ben I love his energy big fan of this channel you guys keep pumping out great episodes
Ben Brodes Laughter fills my soul with joy and glee, by god what i would do to just spend a day with that man playing commander and talking game design haha
I designed a Temur ooze commander a while ago called Xelle, The Mytoclast who essentially hijacks a non-commander creature you control and attaches to it like an aura. That creature gets a v. minor buff, has to be targeted before Xelle can be targeted, and gets to be counted as Xelle's commander damage. It means she can hitchhike from one creature to another when they die and basically turns ineligible commanders into eligible ones.

I've only recently began watching your videos here, and I have to say so far there isn't a single game I've seen where the amount of insanity didn't have me laughing until I cried
Ben is always a treat. Also, Boseiju says "with a basic land type" not "a basic land" so you can fetch duals and triomes and special lands like Mystic Sanctuary, etc..
Thank you Brian for pointing out how great sam is with Boseiju! I had just put together an Aragorn the uniter deck and passed over sam repeatedly because I hadn't read that bottom line 😂
Love the show never miss an episode of your guises show at all. I am also super Duper excited to see Ben back. I love his energy. He’s like one of my favorite personalities.
Brian really looks like a fun good person to be around.... Even though I'd be slaughtered out the gate, that would be a once in a lifetime pod to be a part of.
Finally found time to finish watching the episode. As cool as the game was, I can't help feeling it was stoken by the extreme cuteness of Elspeth. Oko just being all chill, but Elli going full puppy eyes totes adorbs tongue out action the whole ep... omg.
Studies show it's impossible to have a bad day when Ben Brode pops in to Commander at Home
He has so much charisma lol
And complaining about commander damage being irrelevant
He should do his own show with crim. Just goofy fun commander games.
Facts! I love this show but man when Ben is there too? Chefs kiss
Ben is so much louder than everyone. It’s hard to get the volume where he’s not super loud And I can here everyone else.
I've already died laughing from just the "pre-game action", oh my god I love Ben Brode on this show.
"But you spent so much time on the shirt" should have won him the game right on the spot by dealing 21 out of combat commander damage to everyone.
I gotta say the current iteration of Brian Kibler's look is really doing it for him. Very Linux Software Engineer/Cool Dad vibes.
It’s such a glow up
Didn't you watch the video, Olivia explicitly says nobody's supposed to inflate Brian's head!
HOW DID I NOT REALIZE WHO HE WAS UNTILL NOW. HE LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON.
"I'm gonna play Phyrexian Metamorph targeting food!" Is so unhinged and absolutely golden.
Ben is always a blast, but it's lovely seeing Xolo loosen up every time he comes on, he's also a great guest.
Phyrexian food morphing has got to be one of the most hilariously beautiful plays ive ever seen. Second only to BILL THE GODDAMN PONY
Bill the Pony does WORK. That small equine powered my LotR prerelease deck hard, and I've seen him swing Commander games.
Xolo the master of "less is more comedy" with the occasional one-liner to the solar plexus. "spent too much time on the shirt" killed me.
I'm starting to think Ben comes over and stays for the weekend like we all did as kids! Is he always at your house? If you need to get him out blink twice....
"I Phyrexian Metamorph the Food token" goes on the hall of fame of Commander moments of all time
I love Xolo. He's just so fun and refreshing to watch
It's funny how Xolo isn't a "pro gamer". Like, he still misses some interactions and sometimes doesn't make the most optimal play, not because he misplayed but because he genuinely doesn't know it's possible.
And I absolutely *love it* !!! Gives this show that old "kitchen table" nostalgia, makes it seem like this is genuinely just a group of friends having fun at home with a game of magic 🥰
Sad that brian takes advantage of that coercing him into making bad plays...
@@MrFelixmoI don’t think he coerced him into doing any bad plays. All his suggestions were reasonable and good.
@@MrFelixmo Hall of Famer makes bad plays 🧠
Good for him yes. Xolo wouldn't have been dead to brians attack if he didn't pressure him to attack ben.
Not bad for himself. Bad for Xolo.
OMG the game hasn't evnen started and i'm dying of laughter! Ben and his eternal fight against commander damage is fucking amazing! PLEASE NEVER CHANGE!
also thanks for these videos, i love the homey atmosphere and the fun you all are having
The missed Carth triggers from the All is Dust could've been crazy but otherwise I loved the energy in this game. Great job as always 😁
Yeah, that drove me crazy, but he *did* say he doesn't play the deck much
It's great that Ben Brode's love is conditional on how much commander damage you do to him and others. Loved the video as always!
lmao the edit on "Bill the Goddamn Pony" is immaculate
Everytime ben brode is there its instantly, ben brode at home show. Fucking love it
I loved watching you guys play. It has a feel of casual kitchen table vibe that I like.
I've been watching and repeating some of my favorite episodes. Keep the videos coming 😊
Glad you enjoy it!
I’m surprised it took until 4:46 for commander damage to come up, it was expecting it to be the first thing mentioned with how passionate Ben is about it 😂
Really looking forward to the episode where they finally pull out all the degenerate lifegain to troll him, whenever that'll be.
I am ready for the Laughter! Also as an old school Joira player this makes me happy. I gave up my collection of Magic 6 Years ago. I live vicariously through this group.
I love how they're all so supportive and helpful and trying to teach Xolo everytime he's on the show.
You gotta be nice to your son's best friend
I tried so hard to pay attention when the camera shifted to Brian & Olivia but Ellie being absolutely adorable and staring at her mommy pretty much the whole match was the highlight for me!
Love you guys! This show is amazing & I'm always excited for the next episode!
Fblthp in the trophy behind Ben and Xolo! Hey buddy! See you in Ravnica in a couple days! Thank y'all!
YAYYYYYYY BEN IS BACK! Yk that’s how it’s gonna be a good ep
"Im going to play all is dust"
"I preferred it when things were NOT dust"
The "pregame action" KILLED ME, gods I love Ben Brode - already know this game is going to be amazing
God this episode is killing me, “ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE TO KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME OR ANYTHING BEN!”
These two guests are pure happiness and good vibes. I love them.
I will watch each and every Ben Brode episode, he is such a thoroughly entertaining addition to the pod 😂
I have no clue what happened during the commander game because i sat there watching that little lovely doggos for 1 hour and 11 minutes.
Best episode ever.
Nothing makes the day better than watching the new commander at home episode. Keep up the great work also happy to see the growth you all are going to get this year. PS happy new year to everyone that sees this comment and wish everyone the best in this upcoming year

Ben is always hilarious. Another great episode, thanks for having us in your home, y'all.
commander at home and hijinks got me back into commander last year and are a spot of sunshine when they comes out. Thanks for all the hard work!
Life will be complete when I look at anything the way the doggo looks at Olivia for the entirety of the video.
Commander at Home and LSV are my favorite MTG channels on UA-cam. I look forward to your videos every week. Love BK’s and Olivia’s energy are infectious. Would love to see an episode of Commander at Home with LSV
Favorite channel as always. When is JLK coming on the show? It be great to see a mono colored battle with everyone playing the same color, or everyone playing with 5 color decks. That be sweet!
Soon (TM)
@@commanderathomeI'd also absolutely love to see Jim Lapage and Ben Wheeler on here together, the dream team ❤ Love this series so much!
Ok nice things to say: Kibler is a legend. He can tell his opponents the best moves to make against him and still manages to win. Dogs are cute. Guests are so fun. This show is great and I am so happy it exists.
I hate to say this because you can't help it, but Kibler's laugh is really grating to my ears and there's just so much of it! But I am so glad you're all having fun, I really mean it I promise, okay bye!
I love watching Brian help another player to come up with strategies to win. Wholesome.
Watching this show is always such a joy! The atmosphere is fantastic, the jokes hilarious, and the gameplay entertaining. Every episode is a hit 🎉
Fascinating episode! Always fun to see Ben Brode on an episode. He brings a certain level of energy that is hard to find in other places.
I want to live my life with the same amount of joy that Ben Brode has while playing magic.
Ben is the best! Makes every episode he is in amazing. Kyle and him would be the best episode of all time! Thank you, guys, for the awesome episodes!
A new year a new supply of
salt ! Love y’all happy new year everyone !
Yay, more Ben!!! Gotta say, this is one of my fav Commander shows. Lotta commander UA-camrs are in the Pasadena area and that gives me hope I'll run into one at a LGS commander night one day

Wonderful video, as always!
I'm now only bringing Voltron to conventions, just in case I run into Ben.
May I recommend Trealasarra, Moon Dancer as she is both a voltron, and life gain deck. This means Ben is dead to commander damage, and has to win with commander damage.
i reccomend grim grin, corpse born! he’s my favorite for a voltron commander.
Wait I found a more cruel idea: Rubina, Soulsinger. She is a bant version of Merieke so imagine. You steal his commander, then use greens buff spells to kill with commander damage. Also since you have white and green to have life gain to force him to kill you with commander damage, so you can use the buffs against him.
Great Episode. Always an instant hit on the play button when a new episode is up ❤
Gotta say never missed an episode. Love to see Olivia and Brian plus I love to see Ben I love his energy big fan of this channel you guys keep pumping out great episodes
Eepy Ellie almost nodding off throughout the entire video is adorable 🐾🫶
Ben might be one of my favorite people you have on your show as a guest! Great game btw!
I LOVE THIS WHOLE THANG! I love everyone of yall! ❤
Ben is definitely my fan favorite guest, dude is always super funny and the shirts! His laughter is contagious
Ben Brodes Laughter fills my soul with joy and glee, by god what i would do to just spend a day with that man playing commander and talking game design haha
Now I kinda want to make Ben a custom legendary creature called Commander Damage.
I designed a Temur ooze commander a while ago called Xelle, The Mytoclast who essentially hijacks a non-commander creature you control and attaches to it like an aura. That creature gets a v. minor buff, has to be targeted before Xelle can be targeted, and gets to be counted as Xelle's commander damage. It means she can hitchhike from one creature to another when they die and basically turns ineligible commanders into eligible ones.

Ben Brode is my favorite guest. Always a riot when he comes. I have watched this episode five times.
Best Intro vid in the commander yt game.
What an absolute blast of a video to watch! Such a fun game! Good job guys! 🤙🏽
Any episode with Ben Brode is imminently a banger
algorythm stuff! FOR BEN BRODE! AND OFC XOLO! great guests!
I've only recently began watching your videos here, and I have to say so far there isn't a single game I've seen where the amount of insanity didn't have me laughing until I cried
Ben is always a treat. Also, Boseiju says "with a basic land type" not "a basic land" so you can fetch duals and triomes and special lands like Mystic Sanctuary, etc..
The first turn hasn't started but I'm already in tears laughing. HOW.
Ben Brode is easily my favorite guest he just brings the best vibes anytime I see him immediately watching.
great episode. your channel gets better and better each episode
I see Ben on Commander At Home and I instantly brace for "the talk" :D
4 mins into this episode and already hit the like and love it hahaha the whole commander damage convo hahaha too good.
This videos are by far the best moments of my weeks. Thank you all hahah :3
6 minutes in and any kind of terrible day you were having is gone. Love seeing Ben and Commander at Home together.
The banter is phenomenal. Love you guys
17:26 Olivia pulled a Drink Cancel Tech
Ben’s snap to attention towards the camera was fantastic, made me giggle
You could even say that Snap was.. Marvellous
@@KnucklesGum you human get all the snaps 🫰 🫰🫰
Ben and bluebeetle are always a good pair. No surprise at Kibler winning. The 👕 👕 👕 👕 👕 is epic.😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you Brian for pointing out how great sam is with Boseiju! I had just put together an Aragorn the uniter deck and passed over sam repeatedly because I hadn't read that bottom line 😂
Just saw a shorts of the channel, I love it so far
The energy in the episode is chaotic and I'm here for it.
This game was an amazing example of what a rule 0 conversation looks like. Everyone is happy in the end and ready to play.
once again, Great episode. I can't wait to get invited to the show.
Who are you
@@UnfitRuler exactly and that's the problem.
Ben is probably my favorite person you guys play with. He’s so funny and goofy. Like he’s the embodiment of how I play Magic. Just being silly 🤣🤣
Love the show never miss an episode of your guises show at all. I am also super Duper excited to see Ben back. I love his energy. He’s like one of my favorite personalities.
Brian at the end giving kill-advices and having this 2-headed monster on his leap, looks totally villainous
Ben Brode's hatred of Commander damage will never fail to make me laugh to tears!
Ben truly brings some incredible energy to the table, and it was a real nail-biter later on. Fantastic episode.
Hey now, Ben's Un'goro rap is a certified classic!
By gar my favorite commander channel love u guys
This Samwise deck looks so much fun to play! so many little interactions every turn. I can't wait to see the decklist for it
Now this, this, does bring a smile to my face.
Ben is THE BEST 😂! Can he please be on EVERY episode?!?
6:17 is one of the greatest things i have ever seen in a game of commander, and the game didnt even start yet 😂😂😂
the algorithm worked because I wasn't even subscribed and this was fed to me :-)
This really is my favorite EDH show. It's not even close.
Is this Brian's first win on Commander at Home? Great epsiode again. Ben Brode is so animated.
I love Ben's YOLO approach to Commander. Would vibe well with a Rakdos deck
Brian, I'm surprised there's no Displaced Dinosaurs in your food deck. Where's them dino nuggies
Brian really looks like a fun good person to be around.... Even though I'd be slaughtered out the gate, that would be a once in a lifetime pod to be a part of.
Finally found time to finish watching the episode.
As cool as the game was, I can't help feeling it was stoken by the extreme cuteness of Elspeth. Oko just being all chill, but Elli going full puppy eyes totes adorbs tongue out action the whole ep... omg.
