Magic needs more players like Aims, asks questions politely when she doesn't understand things, gets excited when someone does a disgusting thing rather than salty, she even apologized for mistakenly not pointing out she had an arcane signet that could be removed. I'll gladly play the slower game to not have to put up with the salty over competitiveness of other players. Props to the others for helping teacher her too.
I agree, but my favourite is that Brian and Olivia always try to help newer players in their games and show them better available plays. I've seen so many people who just love destroying new players that this is super endearing and my favourite MTG channel!
So many people tend to get salty and overcompetitive over time... I have people I play with outside of my play group from time to time whose argument is literally "I play board wipes because I don't wanna give up" after 2-3 have already been played... Yes. So it's refreshing to see Aims.
@@careljoubert8184 It's the niceness curve, new players tend to be nice and excited when cool stuff happens then as people get competitive they turn sour and you get people rules lawyering and getting salty as they feel like they should be winning. And then on the far end of the spectrum you get guys like Kibler who can just be nice. They know how good they are and they're not afraid to laugh at their own mistakes.
It's just the people who fall into that trench of awful in the middle who think they are far better than they are, blame others and get salty who ruin the mood.
I got a nice elfball commander deck for new players / play with new players - it got its "breaks" for a reason. People tend to relate to elves. Elves got okay-ish keywords and golgari provides good interactions at well. It is easy to teach and it's funny to play.
But the main thingys for new players shouldt be:
A) "Ask" - if you don't understand a thing
B) "Mistakes are okay" / accept help
C) "to lose is part of the game" - no need to be salty
D) It shouldt be fun ride for the other three as well!
( Next level to get a blink of idea how in-depth the game can be is a 5-color chaos deck 😅)
Preach! Saltiness in Magic over someone just playing their deck and making their own assessments of the board is just highly unnecessary, it's a game and we're here to have fun, let people play and learn!
As a newer player, I identify with Aims just getting excited by decks doing cool things.
As a seasoned player, I also identify
Dude, I started playing magic 8 years ago, started playing commander 3 years ago and still get happy when some other deck start doing things.
@@godoy_ big explosive plays are what make Commander awesome
This is why I love playing with new players. Seeing those moments of realization ("Does everybody have a Sol Ring?") and the outsider perspective (how she commented on watching seasoned players flow). It's awesome.
Aims seems like such a genuinley nice person, I would love to see her play again. Cheers to a coozy channel 🤗
I got you, Brian. "You are the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
But you have heard of me.
I can't let that one go unacknowledged. Lol
Someone gets me
@@commanderathome: Makes sense.
After all, I wouldn't put it past Olivia to slap you, you say, "I don't think I deserved that," her slap you again, and a bystander say, "Let me guess: You didn't deserve that, either?", and then you respond, "No, I deserved that one."
Because you definitely seem like you're Magic's version of Captain Jack Sparrow. Which, if you are, Brian, now you need to make a Pirates Tribal deck, lol. Complete with ships as Vehicles in the deck.
Because...you know...Pirates need ships. And treasures. 😅
😊

"The commander damage rule is more like a guideline really." -Barbossa Brode
As a newbie to Magic and Commander, it was SUCH a joy to watch Aims play and see how friendly, encouraging, and educational the rest of the table was. I hope y'all get the chance to play with folks who are still learning more often - its entertaining in a different way then seeing four experts play, it sets a great example for other players who may have new players at their tables, and it demystifies the game even more for new players and they would hopefully feel encouraged to join a pod or go to a LGS for a Magic event.
Being nice and helping people that are new at magic means more people to play magic with! No reason to dunk on new people when you can show them cool stuff and help them be better players and have even more fun :)
Also, because they were explaining things, I feel like I learned things and I’ve been playing for years now. At one point I think Brian quoted actual rules text, and I really appreciated that I got to learn something new too!
I LOVE playing commander with new players. I always tell them "Ask anything. Magic players love talking about Magic." And Brian was absolutely right about how crazy it is that the biggest 'casual' format is also the most complicated.
Bryan is the epitome of how commander should be played. Win or lose every time I’ve watched content he is always laughing/joking around and just enjoying the company!
Thank you Olivia & Bryan for really making me feel like I’m actually there watching friends play and just having a great time ❤
That reaction when Aims finds out about the Dihada / Odric interactions is so wholesome. Seeing new players learn cool stuff is what makes Magic great.
I got into Commander around the exact same time as DMU and Dihada was my first precon this interaction pretty much made me fall in love with Commander!
Yah net decking super fun!
oh I can correct Kibler too, yay
as Roaming Throne lets abilities trigger an additional time and Pantlaza's ability says only once per turn he gets only one discover per turn
corrections aside, that was an amazing game, thanks again for making this happen
I just saw this as well.
Was going to point this out too. I was called out for this last month in our pod hahaah.
Seen this mistake in quite a few games, wonder if there was a more apparent way they could have worded pantlaza since so many people seem to miss it who are otherwise pretty solid at knowing interactions like this.
@@MattTorres The solution to this problem is usually reminder text, but they can only catch so many mistakes with it.
Still worth it in my pantlaza deck for all the other dinosaur triggers but yeah only one discovery
20:12 I have never ever heard of or even thought of the possibility of someone responding to an Etali with "What, that's cool". But it makes me very happy to have been wrong. It is nice to see newcomers being amazed by effects and not annoyed and jaded as most older MTG players are due to the powercreep.
As an older player, I get amazed... until I see those cards on the other side of the battlefield and pointed at me.
"And then an angel in a black hoodie descended and said 'Go to Hell, Brian'". LOL. I love this show so much! :'D
What a great episode, as usual.
Eilidh's frustrated editor vfx are priceless... And the growl, too! 😂
We appreciate you Eilidh! Seriously.
I want to call out my boy Kibler too! At 52:00 Kibler discovers twice with Throne and Pantlaza but due to Pantlaza's OPT, he can only discover once! I love you Kibler!
As a heavy Pantlaza player I noticed that as well!
not how it works, Pantlaza can only trigger once, the Throne copies the trigger which works, it can't proc again but copying it works
This game was such a treat. Kibler doing Kibler things, DrLupo is such an entertaining person, seeing Aims (or anyone relatively new to the game) learn cool new interactions with their cards is always fun, and Olivia got to actually play her deck instead of just getting picked on
And you are great for having a nice comment.
Oprah: everyone is great today
Aims figuring out how the one ring works and revelling in how broken it is warms my heart ❤️
I'm still a new veiwer (about 1yr)...I appreciated this episode so much more, that you all were playing together at the same level even though Aims was new... I hate when ppl just stomp on new players and make mtg not fun and they quit... proud of you guys for even recording this episode🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I mean this channel is only like 1.2 years old so basically everybody is a new viewer.
To stomp on newbies is possible but unnecessary. Cause, if you like the game of Magic and Commander in particular, give them a chance to get interessted in the game at all, instead of putting their face in the dirt cause you can...
I love watching Brian play commander. He always seems to play for those huge turns and make himself the target! It’s a delight to watch.
That was such an exciting game! All of the decks felt really strong and could have been "the problem" at any point
For newer players there's a particularly neat moment. Olivia pauses Aims at 53:41 from playing after attacks are declared by Brian to play a fog.
You should get in the habit of checking in order of priority. A player ahead of you might have an action that is a reply to a situation and save you a play. Look to and communicate with others to see if they have a response. I love the casual yet technical points in these videos.
I think they did that because Aims os relatively new and they're helping them along
Super fun game! Love seeing DrLupo join one of my favorite Commander show. Small misplay though: At 1:15:02 everything that damaged Aims should've been destroyed due to No Mercy. Feed the Swarm would've been played in postcombat main phase since it's a sorcery. Either way, great game!
The creatures had indestructible though because of the two creatures that he controlled from aims
New mtg player here - don’t know that I’ve ever gotten to watch a newer player on an actual-play show like this, it was really cool and super encouraging to see!
I love commander at home. The games are always exciting to watch. Thanks for sharing your home with us Brian and Olivia
Watching Aims learn and discover some of the intricacies of magic in real time is so wholesome and just amazing to watch!
Aims playing as a new player with Bryan Kibler! Its like a childs first kick of a ball being with Messi.
DrLupo & Aims were so fun and chill. Great game. Super sweet also seeing the encouragement and help towards Aims. Fun wholesome game. Even with Brian's army of big bad Dinos!
EDIT: Okay I commented that before finishing the video. Correction. Even with Olivia's army of Swarms!!! hahaha
Just got into magic, and found this channel because Aims said she was going to be on it and now I’ve seen every episode and will be sticking around
I also reccomend checking out Tolarian Community College. Super dad energy host who brings on super cool people. Game Knights is also super popular but is a bit overproduced imo feeling sometimes more like a movie than a game of magic.
Tabletop Jocks, Elder Dragon Hijinks and Tolerian Community College are cool too. Chad Magic i can also recommend. @FinalPrecursorDavid
@@eventuelleon748 I know about Elder Dragon Hijinks for the same reason but thank you for the others
I hate your deck, quest for the janklord & loading ready run
I didn’t know I needed lupo playing magic but here we are
Came here to comment this same thing🥲
As long as it anit warzone or fornite I'm in need for drlupo
I really enjoy how Aims is clearly a newer player to the game, and everyone is helping her out, making sure she gets the game. Reminds me of my play group. We have a guy who started playing in Novemeber, although He thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread when we play, We still help him out. Gotta love the MTG community
When evacuation got cast at 27:02, Olivia didn’t return her Ramunap Excavator to her hand. Hopefully she sees this
Well that's embarrassing 😬 good eye!
Also she took back her enchantment on Brian's board that got cast by Etali. XD
@@bipolarbear3743 Joiner adept is a creature, although you're probably better off with chromatic lantern.
@@jacobisbell9388 OH MY BAD!
I always think this print of joiner adept is prismatic omen for some reason I've even lost a game where it blocked my lethal and I died on the crackback I guess I can't learn from my mistakes.
When Aims finally realized that happened, I would of thought there would be a a huge emoji for that!!! This is wild lol
Missed Bronzebeak Foragers ETB at 40 min. :)
I couldnt stop watching. Very wholesome and enjoyable seeing players of different skill hang out and just have fun. Thanks!
For everyone:
🎵 Cut My Treat Into Pieces,
This Is My Loundest Bork!
Fluffy Canine! Still Teething!
Don't Give A Heck 'bout The Living Room Seating!🎵
Thank you for the chuckle 😆
So happy to see that this is out! My favorite streamers alongside my favorite commander channel!
Sometimes as an outsider, Commander games can be wildly swing-y at the cost of the entertainment value of the episode.
It was nice to see all the decks come online and flaunt some of what they were able to do.
I think this actually might be my favorite episode so far, actually.
Cheers, ya'll!
This is THE greatest magic channel BY FAR! My fiancé and I just got into Magic and you are teaching us so much. Keep up the great content!
Thank you! Will do!
I love the support of this channel! Its nice seeing moments to learn and get to see things and card interactions! Honesty, this is amazing and the support everyone gives is amazing. You all are lovely people!
I'm glad I didn't miss this upload!
Great decks, lovely pilots, all around Hall of Fame match of commander.
When I need to show someone, what commander is like, it's this match from here on out.
i love seeing this channel grow so quickly! probably my favourite commander show on youtube now, pretty close to EDHijinks haha
Thanks for playing pantlaza, I just built this deck and I’m seeing a very similar deck to what I have in mine. This is my favorite commander series on UA-cam. Thanks for posting the great videos guys! I look forward to the next one!
Aims was the best part of the episode. The excitement for learning was great.
I think they missed a landfall at the end. 138 scute swarms was the final total, i think.
Love watching the best Magic content creators play. Thanks Olivia and Brian for inviting them back! 😊
It's so adorable seeing her learning her own cards. She's just so excited about her learning her own deck. Helps me remember the excitement of being new to Magic.
The attitudes at this table are prime, top-tier commander! Love watching this and the vibes from everyone at the table! It's not about winning, it's just about having a good time with my friends!
I've love this channel so much and have watched since day 1. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, especially Aims. Having a little bit slower match with moments of genuine inspiration really brought a bit of magic to this eisode.
As the most experienced player in my play group I had to laugh at Kibler saying I don't WANT you to attack me buuuuut its the right choice! haha
really enjoyed having a newer player at the table. ive been playing a while now but its nice getting explanations for cards and others politely explaining them
1:29:48 Didn't see this in a quick browse of the comments, so:
Olivia: "Two lands cards enter my graveyard from anywhere."
Brian: "So she gets two more triggers."
No, actually. The Gitrog Monster reads "one or more" so you only get one trigger per event that puts lands into the graveyard even if it puts multiples. As Underrealm Lich's ability is one event, it would only add one trigger. Essentially, you can never GAIN triggers with Underrealm Lich and Gitrog Monster, you can only break even if you bin a land from every single one. Easy mistake to make, though.
I love seeing how excited Aims is to be doing the thing in a commander game!
This is a fantastic show. Really appreciate the atmosphere! Good job and keep it going.
I love the channel. Poor scute was missed for each forest creature coming in from ashaya
Yeah I was about to say, not a single landfall triggers from her non token creatures after her, not even from ashaya herself.
Aims seemed genuinely hyped about stuff in magic. That made me happy.
Yea and with that she's actually so cute it hurts.
Man, this made it into my top 3 games on this channel. Such a great interesting match. Thanks as always
This is genuinely my favorite commander channel. The games are always hilariously entertaining and the guests are always so fun! Thank you for your contribution to making the internet a better place!
Thanks for such a cool game! Loved seeing DrLupo and Aims playing, such a vibe! I play Don Andrés myself so it was great to see how the deck played out here :)
Channel always getting better. Last episode would be my all time favorite!
This is such a comfort channel for me yall are wonderful, positive, and blessed ❤❤❤
Watching Aims play reminds me of my earliest days of Commander. What a wonderful pod
This was a crazy game! So much going on and everyone had a moment to shine.
I enjoy this channel far too much
Yay! Perfect way to spend my break on Wednesday! Thanks Y'all!
I'm fairly certain Aims had game in her hand but the whole match was just so wholesome I'm not even mad. Y'all are such great teachers and it's so refreshing seeing such wholesome reactions to cool card interactions ❤
This was an awesome game! Please have more in the future where you have one person learning from you all. Not only was this game fun to watch, but the explanations were wonderful!
I love this channel! I've been a Kibler fanboy since the ye-olden days, and absolutely love the energy and vibe that Olivia brings to any table she sits at. Thanks for the great content!
Friendly reminder, when you have Ashaya in play, having a nontoken creature ETB also counts as a land ETB. Pretty sure at least two Scute Swarm triggers were missed.
There was definitely one missed when Olivia played Lighthouse as a land entering near the end, when she was at 64 scutes. So she should have had at least 128 at that point. Not that it mattered really, as she had it in the bag. GG Olivia.
That sudden realization of card synergies is such a wonderful feeling. Like solving a puzzle without knowing you had one right in front of you.
Super loved watching a new player enjoy the game with you guys!!!
Brian and Olivia explaining all the plays helps me understand the board state more clearly. love the show
This is my favourite video so far. And you guys have a lot of good ones. Amazing vibe ❤
Watching Aims play and being genuinely excited to simply play, having fun and having a good time healed something in me and i actually decided to play again.
I love Lupo
I love Aims
I love Commander at Home
This is the best episode ever, all my nerd-isms crossing paths
Excited for this one with Dr Lupo
Not that it mattered in the game, Brian was actually correct at 38:34 with Cascade. The land from the Cascade would go on the bottom of the library after Cultivate fully resolves, so after the shuffle.
Edit: I am wrong, disregard.
Cascade will let you cast the card. So you put Cultivate on the stack while resolving the cascade ability. Then you finish resolving the cascade ability by putting all other exiled cards on the bottom. Just after that the Cultivate will resolve and search for basic lands and then shuffle.
@@alexjodlauk you are correct, I misinterpreted the rule for Cascade. The land does get shuffled in.
24:40 Exactly Brian. Same as mill. It's only the last card in your library that matters.
Imagine seeing you here haha
Love that you had a newer player on. It's nice to see the excitement in the learning process.
Bryan and Olivia's genuine, earnest desire to be helpful to a newbie is so wholesome and fun to watch.
An absolutely amazing game to watch as always. You guys are so cool with your interaction with each other and, it is something I always try to do when playing with newer players. If the newest player is having fun then you are always onto a winner.
This episode was really fun to watch. I didn't know who was going to win! Very entertaining 🙌
I love watching Aims play, her excitement for the game as a new player fills me with joy. DrLupo is a blast to watch as well. Thanks for the fun game!
Seeing Brian play Pantslaza Sun Flavored really makes me glad I was able to get that precon and spruce it up! Love me some dinos!
Coming back from an eight year hiatus. You guys are fun.
That little One Ring squeek at 28:30 xD
This is such an awesome pod.
You guys are amazing, keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
Always find myself rewatching your intro just to admire your fur babies😂❤️
Another awesome episode! So many fun cool people playing magic!!!
Love this episode as a new player I love that the community is so helpful at teaching others whilst they also enjoy a game
Great show. Really enjoying the channel
1:24:50 doesn’t Ashaya come in as a forest land ( thus triggering Scute Swarm )?
Yup, it does, little big misplay for sure
Another amazing episode. Love the vibes 👍🏼❤️
I am starting playing Magic again after a looong time of not playing and I really like this content.
Great to see stremers that I enjoy here…
I would like to thank these four beautiful souls for the content and fun games. My health keeps me from playing the game I enjoy with the friends I love and yet there is no loss as I have such wonderful resources as these friends laughing and playing in my heart! Love and laughter to you all and thank you so much.
I LOVE Aims. Her getting excited over every interaction was funny af. Easily my favorite episode.
The camera zoom on Brian as he ferociously flipped through his cards to count the fifteen that he was discarding to hand size was actually hilarious. Great video once again! Would be fun to see Lupo and Ben Brode together - I think it would be a hilarious combination.
I really appreciate aims being in the pod, watching a new player getting exited for an opponents deck pop off is something that will never cease to put a smile on my face
Brian's little tale about Prosperous Bloom warmed my heart.
I love this show. It also feels like every episode turns into archenemy vs. Kibler.
Aims radiates massive "Little sister, must protect" vibes.
It's really cool to see Aims play, I think it's super rad that a 'newer' player was able to go play a game of commander with some of the best folks in the business. Very awesome!
Holy shit! I love this!!! Lupo AND Aimee in a commander at home episode!!! LETS GOO
Hour and a half long game and it was great. Very fun group to just enjoy listening to.
I'm shocked not to see an edit of the Tim and Eric meme of mind blown. Love seeing newish players unlock the insane power of MTG, great video!
this table is especially attractive
I mean, look at that tablecloth! It accentuates the rectangular features beautifully
