The old 1v1’s are still spectacular as well. Darby kinda grew on me, and the rare chance you see Justin and Mr. Green play together is always a treat. Plus all their, like, Pandemic episodes; idk, they play the best commander on the internet.
(Director Kyle) Hey everyone! I'm sorry about the missing decklists this week! Between being ill for most of the week and Roanoke getting hit with snow, some items seemed to have fallen through the cracks and I apologize for the inconvenience. Anyway, decklists are here: www.starcitygames.com/article/36479_Commander-VS-Season-10-Begins.html
Jeremy, an idea... 4 persons. Person 1 chooses a colour combination, tells Persons 2 and 3. Person 2 selects the commander. Person 3 makes the deck Person 4 plays the deck. Persons 2, 3 and 4 CANNOT speak to each other.
The hushed “hail hydra” at the beginning killed me 😂😂 Soo glad we get another season of this. The intro was a whole lot better then the old card just flipping. To show who was playing what commander.
Balan is a female character. From the product page: "A solitary leonin knight, who loves the thrill of being the wandering hero. She'll pounce into battle to defend the innocent or slay an evil beast. She has many a tale of adventure, and will happily share them if there's a crackling fire and warm drink involved."
A thing which happens because he plays with a set group of people who all know that if left unchecked, he wins. And thus when he hits his explosive turn, that is the trigger for 'ok time to knock him out of the game". The fault you reference "Oh great another time when Jeremy doesn't get to do anything.." is not the fault of the people he plays with, it lays with him. He either needs to learn how to have an semi-explosive turn without triggering everyones "Omg time to stop him!" or have protection from 'omg everyone is going to stop me if I have this explosive turn!' ready before he takes it. If its happen so often that you can make as vague a reference as you did too it..yup, its on him, not the people playing with him. Granted, I also read Jeremy as the kind of player who enjoys having big explosive turns and, even if they then lose him the game, he got what we wanted out of the game/the deck he was playing. Ala "I played Villianous wealth for a bunch! I didn't win but man playing that card was sweet!" is essentially a victory for him, except of course instead of just playing friendly commander games, they have a point-system. Which, bias's people's opinions of these games to a great degree. If everyone at the table had fun, and then someone won..who cares what the order is! That's the whole point of this kind of magic, its not competitive pro-level stuff..its kitchen table magic, all be it with lots of powerful cards. I know plenty of people like the point-system and season winner and whatever, that's fine. But don't let that lead you into viewing this as all or nothing which the point-system tends to lead people to think. While meanwhile the people playing/the nature of what they are doing leads itself to good natured fun. Where who the winner is important right up until someone wins..then man I had a sweet turn, man my deck preformed well, I can't believe it was so close, yah lets play again!...where as "I beat you all ha ha!" is no where to be found in the dialog outside of an eye-rolling/ friendly trash talking context.
I have been waiting for this...missed you guys...the bickering between Stephen and Justin just makes my day. (Im gonna play Kamagawa block-Stephen, Well I hate you-Justin).
STEPHEN GREEN YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN. This game was an absolute delight. I've been playing a mono white voltron deck for a while and when Balan was printed she went immediately into my Sram deck. Seeing two people die to commander damage was amazing. #TEAMGREENFORLIFE
Justin: What's your opinion on Vona's Hunger in EDH? Jeremy: I wanted, so badly, for you to get down the Sunbird's Invocation before Progenitus came down. Great episode, guys!
(Jeremy) Me too. I've become too trigger shy with Sunbird's. I have like 3-4 games on here and in my stream where I died the turn after I played it. :(
I think Vona's Hunger is very good, but a dangerous card. It puts a target on you in future games when players know you have it. It's kind of like a bad Cylonic Rift, but you can get attacked back immediately.
That is a really good way to look at it. I pulled it as my promo foil during the prerelease, and when I cast it, it turned the game around for me. Been debating if I want to put it in my Ghoulcaller Gisa deck or get rid of it at some point. Thanks for the input!
I was pretty disappointed when Jeremy didn't make as much of an impact in the game as I hoped. But kudos for getting in Progenitus for free. I've been watching VS Commander for a long time now and I gotta say I love watching you guys play.
Stephen shouldn't have drawn a card at 42:25. His Sword's target was no longer there, and therefore he doesn't get the draw. Minuscule ruling, but still one none-the-less.
Btw, for everyone saying Balan shouldn’t have died to Damnation; Justin created created two sacrifice triggers with Butcher of Malakir. One from sacrificing to Yahenni and one from Butcher dying to Damnation. Stephen had only two creatures and thus had to sacrifice Balan, despite the indestructible.
it seems like target priority was horrible for John Suarez with his artifact and permanent destruction since Stephen Green was given a pass for almost the entire game to do whatever he wanted for the entire game.
Idea for commander theme: "Impossible Commanders" not sure who to pick for the fourth commander but three of them would be Phage, Haakon, and Mishra... seems like a fun idea
I love all these commander! I have a Rishkar CMDR deck that works/combos really well in my meta and I'm looking to make a Yahenni deck (although Grave Pact is kinda pricey). I have a casual Ghave deck that works really well but it's not getting enough love atm. Now I'm torn between making it an Atraxa or Ramos deck. Very good game guys!!
Very nice work, especially from Stephen this game. If possible, I would love to see someone play Triad of Fates as a commander. They may be slower than a typical flicker deck, but I have a blast everytime I play them and would love to see your take on them.
I miss the old music. Other than that, intro is better. 41:50, how does John destroy an indestructible Yahenni? Super glad you guys are back! Miss this every Wednesday, don't ever stop!
JBlevins13 he killed it in response to the sacrifice I think so it resolved first before the indestructible happened and Justin had nothing else to sac to try again.
Breaking up the silence of two years, enjoying the golden years of commander vs
I feel you on that.
While I still love (SCG) Commander Vs the first couple chapters of the channel were so “gonzo” and almost sitcom-like.
The old 1v1’s are still spectacular as well. Darby kinda grew on me, and the rare chance you see Justin and Mr. Green play together is always a treat. Plus all their, like, Pandemic episodes; idk, they play the best commander on the internet.
I really miss this era of Commander in general. Back when the precons were once a year and felt really special.

Awesome Director Kyle West!
Jeremy, an idea...
4 persons.
Person 1 chooses a colour combination, tells Persons 2 and 3. Person 2 selects the commander.
Person 3 makes the deck
Person 4 plays the deck.
Persons 2, 3 and 4 CANNOT speak to each other.
(Jeremy) We usually let Susan decide these sorts of things, but I like the idea. I'll bring it up.
Star City Games Did you guys ever do this? I'd love to know what episode it was if you did
Kastor
Commander VS and Command Zone game uploads on the same day? I've never been so happy to be sick from work!
Guess whos back, back again, stephens back, mill a friend
We're not friends.
Catchy tune though
but stephen is a one in a MILLion magic player
liam blue do you know the original song?
Owen Parker Eminem’s parody is the one I know
I was just wondering like an hour ago when season 10 was gonna start! Easily my favorite MTG series on youtube. Please never stop this series.
we still going
The hushed “hail hydra” at the beginning killed me 😂😂
Soo glad we get another season of this. The intro was a whole lot better then the old card just flipping. To show who was playing what commander.

Ada Bee wait, seriously? Balans a girl?
According to the lore, yes.
Awesome
Cat girl...giggity
Balan The wondering Kajit
In standard Commander Vs fashion, Jeremy gets one explosive turn and then gets blown off the table before he gets to actually impact the game.
gets a whole bunch of stuff via ramos
get killed by an angry cat before he gets to do anything
Bit of a bummer to watch
A thing which happens because he plays with a set group of people who all know that if left unchecked, he wins. And thus when he hits his explosive turn, that is the trigger for 'ok time to knock him out of the game".

Well his deckbuilding is also a big reason, I hope he doesn't expect to win this way.
Why couldn't he block with Progenitus?
1:10:55 why does Balan die to Damnation? She is equipped with a Darksteel Plate.
Was wondering the same thing! Probably a small mistake :) even if it didn't matter at the end haha
And immediately the Stephen/Justin rivalry begins again.
#TeamStephan
@@somethinghippos 1) #TeamGreen* 2) Stephen*
Glad to comment on episode 1 of season 10. Really appreciate the content, keep it up!
Stephen Green you are my hero!! Officially team Green for life!!!!!!
I have been waiting for this...missed you guys...the bickering between Stephen and Justin just makes my day. (Im gonna play Kamagawa block-Stephen, Well I hate you-Justin).
15:09 game play begins
But then people miss the new intro
Then you miss the greatest part of the video. Their banter.
Brian Okafor e
Can you post a link for decklists?
Best gameplay videos on UA-cam! Team Parnell all the way 😆
I was so ready to tap my fingers to intro's music, but they crushed my dreams.
So great you guys are back, best show by far on youtube! Keep rocking!
Yes! This is one of my favorite series on UA-cam!
Loved the new intro! GG Director Kyle!
And Sad start for team Justin but I believe in you!❤️❤️
I love how Jonathan watch Stephen kill someone, brings back Beast Within, and then refuses to deal with anything Stephen had going on.
Well he was think about the hex proof but he could hit any Equipment
So glad the season has started. This makes my Wednesdays. However, I feel really bad for Jeremy... He has the worst luck.
Ok that new player intro is dope!
I watched this commander video a couple of times and its definitely one of my favorites.
Miss you a lot guys!!! so awesome you're back! :D
Like the new Intro guys. The full picture is nice. I think the music is less "fight" music but still good.
Oh baby that new intro is awesome
Edit: That #TeamGreen win was epic.
Awesome to see you guys back!!! keep up the great games guys!!!
What a start! Good job Stephen Green! Now if we could have the 4-way mill episode (somehow in different colors) that'd be great ;3
STEPHEN GREEN YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN. This game was an absolute delight. I've been playing a mono white voltron deck for a while and when Balan was printed she went immediately into my Sram deck. Seeing two people die to commander damage was amazing. #TEAMGREENFORLIFE
LOL I did the same with my Sram deck, Balan is Ballin:P
Mr. Mammuthus Africanavus Balan is quite ballin. 😎
OMG, The new intro! Green looks like he just turned to face the camera at the beginning of an episode of Full House.
Ramos round 2. I'm on #TeamNoell this week!
Edit: New intro is pretty good! I like the faces with the deck's General in the background.
Holy crap that nee opener is amazing!! Keep up the awwsome fun guys!!
That subtle Chick-fil-a plug. I see you Stephen Green making that side money.
I love this series. Keep it up, don’t stop!
I like the new intro, but miss the old music theme.
Camilo Hurtado my thoughts exactly.
I kniw the filling ive been here since danny and mcdarby i loved the music
I still want the Fuller house intro.
I couldn't have said it better.
I stepped away to get a drink of water and thought an ad had started when I heard the new music....
I've finally caught up to this episode, and I don't normally comment on anything, but that intro was dope!
Love the new transition to gameplay!
Maybe I missed something but why does Balan die when Justin played Damnation at 1:10:30? Wasn't Darksteel Plate attach to it?
Like the new graphic for displaying what Commander you are using.
Great to see my boy, Esteban, take home a win this video. #teamgreen
My momma always said the more you rub it, the bigger and more red it gets. She ain't wrong.
Good to see you boys again! Love this show ☺
Justin: What's your opinion on Vona's Hunger in EDH?
Jeremy: I wanted, so badly, for you to get down the Sunbird's Invocation before Progenitus came down.
Great episode, guys!

I think Vona's Hunger is very good, but a dangerous card. It puts a target on you in future games when players know you have it. It's kind of like a bad Cylonic Rift, but you can get attacked back immediately.
It is a "target on your head" card, but damn, do I want to see it do some work.
That is a really good way to look at it. I pulled it as my promo foil during the prerelease, and when I cast it, it turned the game around for me. Been debating if I want to put it in my Ghoulcaller Gisa deck or get rid of it at some point. Thanks for the input!
Props to the director he is fantastic XD
Back for season 10! Missed these guys over the break.
Jeremy Noell my favorite underdog.
GO TEAM GREEN!
Man I missed you guys. Perfect time to return to this after a stressful day of work!
#TeamParnell #BluePlaymat #BlackManaMatters #YahenniOrBust
DAT NEW INTRO THOUGH!
DAT INTRO! Sweet! Like the old a bit better, but this one is awesome too
So THATS what director kyle west looks like
Okay, right off the bat, I LOVE the new opening cinema.
I like'd, commented, shared, and re-subscribed from the very beginning! #season10hype
You're doing a great job
I was pretty disappointed when Jeremy didn't make as much of an impact in the game as I hoped. But kudos for getting in Progenitus for free. I've been watching VS Commander for a long time now and I gotta say I love watching you guys play.
Stephen shouldn't have drawn a card at 42:25. His Sword's target was no longer there, and therefore he doesn't get the draw. Minuscule ruling, but still one none-the-less.
How you can tell you’re a MTG Youth: Jeremy plays a creature with the Bringer creature type and confuses the hell out of you.
I love the new intro guys!
Btw, for everyone saying Balan shouldn’t have died to Damnation; Justin created created two sacrifice triggers with Butcher of Malakir. One from sacrificing to Yahenni and one from Butcher dying to Damnation. Stephen had only two creatures and thus had to sacrifice Balan, despite the indestructible.
it seems like target priority was horrible for John Suarez with his artifact and permanent destruction since Stephen Green was given a pass for almost the entire game to do whatever he wanted for the entire game.
Exactly, he was so focused on Justin's board state he totally ignored how ridiculous Stephen's was getting. Tsk tsk Jonathan.
It's a wild life
Woooo! Missed you guys lol!
Love the new intro, guys!
New commander intro thingy is pretty cool
where do you get those fat packs of dice?
Idea for commander theme: "Impossible Commanders" not sure who to pick for the fourth commander but three of them would be Phage, Haakon, and Mishra... seems like a fun idea
I like the new intro and the music
Are there decklists available anywhere, Director Kyle?
Does Jeremy's Ramos Deck have a decklist somewhere?
dumb question, how do we get decklists, not on site?
Nice! New Intro! Lovin It!
Amazing new intro guys!
Love that you guys are back! I wanna see the decklists. Think you can update those? :)
So I guess we're best friends now? #TeamGreen
Welcome back - Happy New Year! Great to have you back for another fun season!
I love all these commander! I have a Rishkar CMDR deck that works/combos really well in my meta and I'm looking to make a Yahenni deck (although Grave Pact is kinda pricey). I have a casual Ghave deck that works really well but it's not getting enough love atm. Now I'm torn between making it an Atraxa or Ramos deck. Very good game guys!!
where are the deck lists?
Jeremy you messed up you cast the one card for alternate mana cost and only added one counter to ramos where you were supposed to add 5
Y'all should do pauper commander again! That was super fun! Also go Team Suarez!
So is this the last season?
WOAH NEW INTRO AND EVERYTHING
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO the intro tho, DAYUM hot FIRE
No decklists makes me cry :'(
With Duel Decks coming to an end you guys should do a Duel Deck Challenge. You can make decks using only cards that were printed in Duel Decks
Welcome back fam
I like how for most of the video Justin sat at 20 commander damage
Only the last point counts!
Does Indestructible not protect from wrath effects? Justin used Black Sun and Balan had Darksteel Plate equipped.
i know they mentioned they had a theme, but did they specify what it was?
avengedbulletromance best commanders of 2017, i mean to recall.
What size dice do you use?
Very nice work, especially from Stephen this game. If possible, I would love to see someone play Triad of Fates as a commander. They may be slower than a typical flicker deck, but I have a blast everytime I play them and would love to see your take on them.
If you look at the scaling, Brass Squire is really only holding a Dagger. Lmao
Great episode. I feel Noell's pain.
what did stephen destroy with argentum armor on 1:13:15
I consider the beginning of a new cmdrvs season to be a holiday. #TeamGreen
YEAH!!! now it's back to my commander HIGH
Should also do an episode every once in awhile that is the fifth legends of a cycle that you didn't play.
Love the new intro :)
I feel as though Justin could have stabilised with grave pact being tutored over damnation. Then just sacing every time Stephen attacked with ashnods
I’m a big fan of the new intro
I never got around to asking this, but: what was the old intro music called? I liked it a lot. Can I listen to it somewhere?
#TeamGreen4life
I miss the old music. Other than that, intro is better. 41:50, how does John destroy an indestructible Yahenni?
Super glad you guys are back! Miss this every Wednesday, don't ever stop!
JBlevins13 he killed it in response to the sacrifice I think so it resolved first before the indestructible happened and Justin had nothing else to sac to try again.
