At this point I am convinced the whole "its about...my watch is dead." is just a gag that Graham is trying to put into every single video and I love it
watching you navigate Vegas is fun. My wife and I live about 5 hours away by car and use it as a cheap, quick get away. The footage just makes me want to go back, for three days and then come back home.
Your vlogs of your Japan trip made me fall in love with that place and was almost a vicarious experience. The vlogs from Vegas... they just reinforce my desire to NEVER GO THERE. Not because of anything you're doing Graham, I just feel like the whole atmosphere of the place is so counter to everything I'm comfortable with. Which is odd, considering there seem to be places in Japan that seem almost Vegas-y themselves. I dunno, maybe it's the too wide but low ceiling-ed hallways that are tweaking me out. Like people pipe is obvious people pipe.
I didn't even leave the Westgate->Convention Center area, and I still felt like there was a lot of "America: The Ride" going on there. Would have loved to explore a bit more, but I was by myself since I was there with judges and they were SUPER busy all week. Also had a chuckle at the opening reaction shot in the elevator. That was about how I felt about hearing that all week. Although I did go to the show and it was very impressive to see the athleticism the women showed off. If you've never seen a professional pole dance, it's well worth it to be super impressed.
I was honestly fooled to think that you were outside while you were talking about 'America the Ride', until you then ACTUALLY WENT OUTSIDE and now my brain is more kerfuffeled than usual
For a minute I thought they were going to try to pass him off as James with a "what happens in Vegas" hairdo... since for several shots in a row Mohawk Man was traveling with the three not-James crew members. And James was nowhere in sight.
I was able to get a couple of cards signed by Sprankle (she was in the Bolas suit) at this GP, but now I have more cards to have her sign, if we ever have Magicfests again.
The air in vegas gets filtered like crazy, that's why you can smoke inside. Air is replaced every 5 minutes or something crazy. So you're not really breathing the same air, it's a crazy place
its pretty cool to hear the first(?) impressions of vegas. im from LA area, anytime id pass thru nevada with family we'd go thru vegas and i dunno. there is a nasty feeling i get everytime. like everything has been stripped of it's authenticity, of its human element. or at least it appeals to the least fulfilli mg aspects of our humanity.
Thank you for your patronage of monorails. I think monorails unfairly got a bad rap: in much of the world they are legitimate public transportation, but in the US they are viewed as amusement park rides. Thank you for the brief glimpse of what it is like to ride the Las Vegas Monorail, and your earlier Vlog where I got a similar glimpse of the one in Seattle. I especially liked that you apparently rode them because they were headed where you were going, so don't go out of your way to ride monorails for me. ;)
18:57 And for Magic 30 5 years later instead of the huge convention center seen in this blog; WOTC/Hasbro decide to run in the much smaller convention center just down the road from Fredmont St. Yeah …
7:59! It's it's!, oh balls brb while I check the ttc's where his name is listed >__>;. .. Shivam! :D! (got there OTL;.) ... Or I could've waited until 14:02 .-.; Anywho, loved those TTC eps :D! 9:55, 1st take not cut? o3o;.
side note @graham, did many people give you the stink eye for recording while in Vegas, considering the motto of what happens there is supposed to stay there.

At this point I am convinced the whole "its about...my watch is dead." is just a gag that Graham is trying to put into every single video and I love it
Smarter mistakes was the correct phrase.
I liked "It is currently... my watch is dead". I feel sorry for Alex and that bonkers combo he got.
So is the next Card Kingdom button going to be "I've made smarter mistakes"? Because it should be.
embyrr922 please let it be!
Seconded.
I need this on a T-shirt

In his defence, nobody can actually find Garruk to get him to appear at anything. Nobody's seen him since 2014.
He did show up in the Professor's office hours earlier this year...
...and guess who played him.
TheBluemechanic he's hiking in the Himalayas. His roommates are still waiting on him to sign the lease on their apartment.
Enter Kenriths
I'm normally all about genre-shifting remixes, but that Party Rock cover was baaaaaaaaad.
The professor! He said he was going to be there but still happy to see him there.
Graham "I've made smarter mistakes" Stark.
"I've made smarter mistakes..." is SUCH a mood
watching you navigate Vegas is fun. My wife and I live about 5 hours away by car and use it as a cheap, quick get away. The footage just makes me want to go back, for three days and then come back home.
love the Vblog, btw.
It's funny. I havent played Magic since about 1999, yet Graham still makes magic videos intresting and accessible. And above all, fun.
The return of Shivam!
I mean I love these vlogs in general, but good to see him back!
How do you know if someone is a "content creator?" Graham walks into the room with the camera (with tripod, mic, and etc): "That's how you know."
Yeah, that was next-level.
Your vlogs of your Japan trip made me fall in love with that place and was almost a vicarious experience. The vlogs from Vegas... they just reinforce my desire to NEVER GO THERE.

"We can't even get Garruk." lollllllllllllllllllllll. And now everyone in my office is looking at me funny.
Was awesome to see Shivam show up in the Vlog, and cool to hear he's doing a podcast, and looks like he was having a blast so far at the GP
amythistxue1 I think by "podcaster" Graham was referring to his appearances on podcasts such as TTC and Commanderin'.
amythistxue1 My mistake, thanks to Shivam's recap on his tumblr (@talinthas) I now know he has joined Commanderin' full time! That's awesome.
Cute Fem Bolas.... I need some fanart.
guts kenpachi I miss Sprankle.
I was I Vegas earlier this year for 3 days, you guys aren't kidding around it really is America the Ride!
It’s nice recognizing iconic ppl
Dude, I'm loving the vlog. Thanks for all the hard work!
watching this makes me excited for when the gp hits my town this year! it will be my first GP and I can't wait!
That was a fantastic Vlog Graham. Keep up the good work!

Your sacrifices are greatly appreciated!
"We can't even get Garruk." You ARE Garruk!!
really well done. funny seeing the other content creators I watch on here too.
Will all of these panels and talks be uploaded on the mtg channel?
I was honestly fooled to think that you were outside while you were talking about 'America the Ride', until you then ACTUALLY WENT OUTSIDE and now my brain is more kerfuffeled than usual
Love the gvlogs, Graham, keep 'em coming please!
I remember that walk from the GP two years ago.
Surprisingly harsh.
The Sharknado slot machine freaked me out too.
Hey I really appreciate the vlogs. Makes me feel like I'm there.
Only in Vegas do they make the inside look like you're outside and the outside look like you're inside.
Why you gotta do a thing Travis ? Why ?
"This'll be a way shorter episode" and it's 20 minutes long.
I'm deeply upset that there was not more details about EGGSLUT
they're a fast-casual place originally out of LA that specializes in delicious breakfast sandwiches!
I love you graham
(Not in a weird way)
Really good content on your channel too!
Who was Mohawk man?
For a minute I thought they were going to try to pass him off as James with a "what happens in Vegas" hairdo... since for several shots in a row Mohawk Man was traveling with the three not-James crew members. And James was nowhere in sight.
Well Graham the reason Las Vegas blah blah blah mafia blah blah...etc (Loving the vlogs Big G-money!)
Ah yes, the Vegas Monorail; Bethesda's largest hat.
Now Graham, I am extremely curious. What commanders were you James and Adam playing during that game?
FoggyMemoryJ Sounds like Graham was Titania (jamming 5/3s) and James was Omnath, Locus of Rage.
@Graham this is the first time I've seen your vlogs their great! If you don't mind me asking, what type of camera/equipment are you using to do it?
I was able to get a couple of cards signed by Sprankle (she was in the Bolas suit) at this GP, but now I have more cards to have her sign, if we ever have Magicfests again.
Who is bright hairsman?
I've never been to Vegas but my best friend's husband is stationed there. I don't envy the heat.
Great videos
You LITERALLY had like VERY tiny snippets of the panels and stuff of GP Vegas and it’s hilarious how much time you got here
"I've made smarter mistakes" should be a t shirt
Much more pleasant music in this one. Thank you.
Is there a place online where I can watch the panels you were on?
Still a sick ass vlog 3 years later
Thank you for reinforcing every negative stereotype I had about Las Vegas.
the background music keeps reminding me of Paint It Black
its been so long since I've last seen wedge I forgot what he looked like.
The air in vegas gets filtered like crazy, that's why you can smoke inside. Air is replaced every 5 minutes or something crazy. So you're not really breathing the same air, it's a crazy place
Love the music choice.
What kind of camera are you using to film. Looks crisp.
its pretty cool to hear the first(?) impressions of vegas. im from LA area, anytime id pass thru nevada with family we'd go thru vegas and i dunno. there is a nasty feeling i get everytime. like everything has been stripped of it's authenticity, of its human element. or at least it appeals to the least fulfilli mg aspects of our humanity.
Thank you for your patronage of monorails.
I think monorails unfairly got a bad rap: in much of the world they are legitimate public transportation, but in the US they are viewed as amusement park rides.
Thank you for the brief glimpse of what it is like to ride the Las Vegas Monorail, and your earlier Vlog where I got a similar glimpse of the one in Seattle.
I especially liked that you apparently rode them because they were headed where you were going, so don't go out of your way to ride monorails for me. ;)
Vegas scares me and I don't know why...
Tularis Vegas scares alot of people.
What was that weird loop at 9:55?
Justin Hillman yes
also i liked the Ontario plug. I though the vegas weather was much better then ontario its like 89% humidity today
Good luck!
please tell me the panel was recorded, id be really interested in seeing it
And the Magic DnD session too please?
Sorry you guys missed out on that buffet it is a super solid one.
do you use a physical stabilizer or just software based image stabilization?
0:40 So when are we gonna get a LoadingReadyRun slot machine?
8:57 a passenger says "I feel like a bitch"
I was totally expecting an "Adam gets lost" subplot at 9:30
so as the travis that connor mentioned here and yeh i guess club soda isnt a super easy thing to find in vegas but in a can. i will have to fix this.
Travis Mahon why you have to do that? 😉
BTW, the burgers and milkshakes place is called Holstein's, and it is stupid delicious.
The real question is... Is there an MTG slot machine?
The alertArchitect yeah I've seen it...it's called Modern Masters 3 booster packs
You aren't wrong
18:57 And for Magic 30 5 years later instead of the huge convention center seen in this blog; WOTC/Hasbro decide to run in the much smaller convention center just down the road from Fredmont St. Yeah …

9:55, 1st take not cut? o3o;.
will you be attending GP toronto? it will be my first major MTG event and it would blow my mind if i could meet you guys and shake your hand
Do they have Fischer and Paykel brand slot machines?
3:30 hats Jimmy and Josh in the background!
Graham and Alex do a short talking sim on Las Vegas: America the ride
What about getting Paul in for a Whole Story?
Great vlogging skills
Best intro.
What's the club soda thing a reference to?
What qualifies you to be a VIP. How do you become one?
0:53 James has Airpods
My friends always play planechase commander. Usually games last for over 3 hours and it's just 3 usually
The command zone party is the party I want to go to in Vegas, (who doesn’t like drafting?)
Nice streaming!
Graham "Smarter Mistakes" Stark.
Was that Randy Buehler at 15:20?
8:08 everything looks good in slow motion
Oh god. 27 is hot for you guys? Such Canadians!
8:45 sounds like southern alberta in the middle of summer graham & alex
05:11 I'm wearing that shirt right now.
side note @graham, did many people give you the stink eye for recording while in Vegas, considering the motto of what happens there is supposed to stay there.
+insane0042 Nope! No more than anywhere else
The before times
Who was the person with the rainbow mohawk?
18:53 is that Jack Patilo?
what a great joke considering he played Garruk
No way, that woman at 5:57 is the judge at my local game store.
19:40 And I'm on Graham cowgirl style. Not suuuuure how I feel about that but I bet he gives good cuddles.
What! No! Whyyyy! Why did you have to say that? Now I can't unthink that and I'm not comfortable with this alternate universe you have constructed.
Shhhh, just let Graham's astounding good looks set you at ease.
You're in Vegas while the WSOP is on, stroll up to the Rio and check it out, no need to play just like so many people playing poker in room... so many
15:22 Randy Buehler or no?
