    Cassius is the real winner to me. This man tried his hardest for sooooo much of the game, and just could not do anything. He ended up being in the worst position out of all four players for most of the game! Yet when he was about to win, he held back, took the L he honored his promise. Major props to you dude ^-^

      I can't recall where I heard it (if it was a GK episode or on the podcast) but somewhere it was mentioned that Cass knows he's competitive (obviously) and really does try his hardest to dial it back when playing MtG. But it's like trying to tame a lion... sure it's POSSIBLE to get the fun-loving beast but we should always be prepared for the killer.... haha

    Major props to Cassius. I can't say that I would've done the same in his position, not sure many people would. Keeping his word meant more than winning to him. That's a damn fine magic player who embodies everything I love about the game. Wish he would be even more active in the Magic community, caster or announcer in the Pro Tour for instance. Loved the episode. Keep up the good work! :)

      Breaking truces for no reason is a really dick move. We don't allow that in our playgroup, since it makes for salty moments and conflicts. At the end of the day Josh could've just made the deal with somebody else and taken Cass out, so either way he wouldn't have won.

      Stormerbuzz FyfEnDertig it makes their games interesting instead of all of them focusing on just winning they try to be in the game as long as possible, which makes longer games and more fun plays get worked out based on what one player does to another because of a deal made with another player.

      Yeah I have a Muldrotha deck and it's SUPER fun. It's also one of the more complicated decks you can play in commander because when you have a 70 card hand you have infinite possibilities! And you can win by either just out-valuing your opponents by constantly playing destroy effects and draw effects and stuff, or you can set up a nuke (I really like combo-ing Lord of Extinction and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord lol)

It'll be much easier with a smaller pool of cards to figure out the idea of deck building.

    Josh, Jimmy, and everyone else associated with Game Knights. I would just like to say something to you guys. I started playing MTG when I was about 11 years old. It was at a Boy Scout summer camp, where MTG is popular, along with any other card game you can imagine. No phones allowed, so a lot of time was spent playing card games. I got really into it, and even built a deck that wasn't too good, but I loved. It was actually a blue green evolve deck, of all things! At about 13, no one I knew played it any more, so I stopped too. Wasn't worth it when I only got to play MTG for about 5 days a year. I stuffed my decks into a box in my closet. Well, I found your channel. Now my love for MTG is reignited, at age 17, and I am deckbuilding again. I just made a deck centered around Tokens and Campaign of Vengeance, and I can't wait to see how it plays. I just wanted to thank everyone involved for making me love MTG again, with your absolute love for the game and showing me again why I loved it in the first place.

    Wow, a format where I can have to buy new cards every two years, and can pay inflated standard prices?? Sign me up!! (kidding)
    I actively hope this format doesn't take off, because it's nice to have one format in Magic where you can have multiplayer fun with a set of loose rules that everyone plays with and doesn't have to rotate decks every 5 seconds. I see this as an attempt to wrest players away from an eternal format into a rotating one by Wizards, since it's in their interests to do so.
