My first equipment i would choose would be the sword of vengeance. I personally like Jimmy's list more but I think Rachel won that draft. And I think you guys missed out on the sword of vengeance.
100% embercleave for me I play a lot of red and tend to lean towards aggressive style decks so embercleave is a awesome card for me and one of my favorite equipments in the game
@jeffreylong1478 That's a great question. They are pretty good at figuring that stuff out. But if they do a couple, and then find they are fitting something, they could do a "Commanders to Helm our Drafted Lists", with each picking commanders to helm their list, fitting the colors of the cards they've drafted up to that point. Or just do a couple and then build a deck that includes the cards they drafted, but isn't limited to them.
Best thing about Shadowspear‘s ability that you did not mention is that it doesn’t need to be equipped to activate its ability. That surprises a lot of people.
Gavin Verhey had a playtest card that was “Sort of __ and __” which randomly picked 2 of the the combat damage triggers when the equipment entered (no protection or +2 because it’s only “Sort of”)
Sword of Swords and Ofs *(30)* _Equipped creature gets +20/+20 and has protection from everything and everything_ _Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, everything happens and everything happens_ *Equip (20)*
Sword of this and that (3) Whenever equipped creature attacks, it gets protection from target color or player until end of turn. It also gains up to one evergreen ability of your choice until end of turn. Equip (2)
There is an argument to be made is that you can clamp one of your remove on sight threats just to go up a card when it gets removed. It's by far the second worst usage of skullclamp but the second worst usage is still arguably good. That's the floor.
Another note about skullclamp is that it doesn’t have to be in a token based deck. I’ve gotten disgusting amounts of value out of in a sac heavy and graveyard focused deck. Tokens results in the most immediate upside, yes but putting it in a deck like Phoenix tribal is filthy because things are constantly going in and out of the grave
This was a great way of doing a list but in a unique way. You could do this with any type ie removal, counter, free spells, ramp, ect. I hope there are more videos to this and you can expand the number of people drafting.
PLEASE MORE OF THESE TYPES OF EPISODES! I love the idea I love the format and they're so informative! ❤❤ also always good to see Jimmy and Josh together again! I love Rachel as a host but it's nice to have them both on.
I loved this episode! I love it when you guys evaluate cards that aren’t just the new ones that come out with a set. That’s great too but this format gives a “best of” feeling for all of Magic’s history that you don’t always get in the set breakdowns. And it’s great to see the three of you together!
Very cool episode. I love Jimmy and Josh, but I am constantly impressed by how much life and personality Rachel adds to this channel. She's just excellent.
This is a great video on the topic of equipment in commander and what you need to look for when deciding on cards for a deck. This reminded me about one of the Biggest benefits of artifacts, colourless. If your colour/colours has a downside you need covering, there is mostlikely an artifact that can do it for you.
I have an equipment-heavy Voltron deck where I specifically removed Lightning Greaves in favour of Swiftfoot Boots, because shroud stops you putting more equipment on it (and the deck usually doesn't have a second creature to temporarily move the greaves away to).
This was definitely a fun episode and I like the format a lot. I really thought it was just going to be a list of the staple equipment but seeing you build towards your styles was super cool
So many great things in this episode. It's awesome to see all three of you on-screen together, and this is the coolest series concept since the "How To Play ". My absolute first draft pick would be Lightning Greaves, but if I was stuck with one of the three lists you guys drafted, I'd be going with Rachel; I have gotten a TON of mileage out of The Reality Chip, and blue has been overwhelmingly the most common colour in my EDH decks.
These are some of my favorite style episodes. I'm just getting back in to MTG so it helps introduce me to the cards I've missed over the last two decades. I especially love how everyone backs each other up and agrees with each other instead of arguing and back and forth like many channels.
This was such a fun episode! I feel like this was a pleasant taste of Rachel’s episodes on Commander Sphere but with the command zone style! Can’t wait to see more of this. Maybe a creature draft per colour?
I loved hearing everyone's explanations about their picks and how they rated each of their equipments. It shares some information about their styles and their thought processes.
Loved the video! It was really fun. It was also actually really cool to just see you guys sort of sit down and just talk about the game a little more, even show another format besides commander, specifically draft in this case (if in a little bit of a round about way).
as a newer player (started with LOTR) these kind of videos are sooooo good for me, great explanations of cards that may not be the absolute best but they have great uses. Very informative
Love seeing all the hosts in place. When I was first getting into Magic and the Command Zone podcast came out, I loved Jimmy's energy and enthusiasm. As I learned the game, I appreciated Josh's sage wisdom and level-headed approach to new cards. I think Rachel has been a great addition to the team. She endeared herself to me with her willingness to make "suboptimal" decks because they're fun and her refusal to be anything except for herself.
I would have picked Embercleave pretty highly personally, it often reads as a Temur Battle Rage for an extra mana or two that gets to stick around. It fully just kills people! Big fan of this format, would love to see more of it done, maybe with more niche topics than a broad card subtype.
Having the "nuh uh, you also need a creature on the field to make this effective." is hilarious when you remember these are EQUIPMENTS! they all need something to equip to.🤣 13:20
1st comment. Thank you to all @ The Command Zone for the great content. This draft style format is awesome. More please. Also, it would be cool to see on screen, you folks randomly select your draft position. By picking numbers out of a hat. Thanx again. Peace! 🤙🏽
Love this format, I'd be super excited about watching more of this style of video in the future! Also, I'm with Rachel on this one. Skullclamp is my first pick. I play way too many decks that want it 🤘
This was a fun Idea, I really enjoyed watching it. I think you should continue to pursue this theme in some future episodes. I do like the planes walker idea, may I also suggest 'Drafting' commanders based on Archetypes, i.e. Tokens, Artifacts, Treasure, Lifegain, and such. I feel that would be entertaining to watch, and be fun for you guys to film.
Such a great video idea! This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done in a long time. I would love to see this with aura, enchantments, creatures for each color, non equipment artifacts, instants for each color, sorceries for each color, etc
This is by far my favorite episode of non-gameplay Command Zone. As someone who plays magic and loves football (including fantasy football) I loved the idea of a top magic cards draft. I really really hope we get more episodes like this (maybe even with 5 or 6 people!!) Way to go guys!
So i think its interesting that Jimmy Wong's picks make a full loadout for a single person, He has a head piece, a sash, body armor, a weapon and some boots. He essentially made a dnd character. Rachael Weeks made a duel wielding character. She has skull clamp for head gear, the reality chip which is an augmentation, sword of the animist and Sting as her weapons and then Winged boots as her foot gear. While Josh made a four armed bbeg. Omnath essentially with four weapons and some boots. My five choices which I am not choosing any that they have chose just for fun are as follows: Helm of the Host for head gear, Thran Power Suit as body armor, Mirror Shield as my Shield, Sword of Vengeance as my weapon, Trailblazer's Boots as my Footgear.
Remember when they let us choose the colors of each players deck? And we made Josh play Boros because he hated on boros so much. Jimmy's statements about planeswalkers makes me think we should challenge him in a similar fashion by make him play Game Knights with a Carth the Lion deck. ( Love ya Jimmy. It's a good exercise to play outside your norms)
I liked the discussion between animist and hearth and home. Never really thought of it like that but you are correct. They do similar things. Might have to make some swaps in certain decks.
I really love this format of ranking that you guys did in this episode. You aren't just doing your usual top ranked equipment video. This "draft" style video is an interesting take
Loved this episode. Was fun to see how y'alls picks lined up with what I would take. Point of order about Umezawa's Jitte. While the -1/-1 and Gain 2 Life can be used without the Jitte being equipped, the +2/+2 applies to the equipped creature
This is a great episode and I love the draft idea to talk about it. Would have been easy to just talk about the top X equipments but the draft made it fun to watch and created lovely suspense. Great episode!!
I imagined the four dudes on the playmat being the commanders of one pod having the rule 0 conversation: "I used to be an 8, but haven't updated my army in a while. I'm probably a 6 by today's standards." - "Look at those abs, Frank. You're at least a 7!"
Prior to watching the video, the ones that come to mind are Sword of Feast and Famine and Skullclamp which were shown as well as Helm of the Host, Lightning Greaves and Shadowspear as personal favorites.
I haven't played MtG since 2002, and I'm looking through content now to see where the game is at, to see if I want to get into it. This format seems fun, and I really liked this video. I'm kind of unsure about how I feel about cross-overs with other IPs like Walking Dead, LOTR, but glad to see I can still follow 80% of MtG discussions on why some cards are good. Really enjoyed seeing that the basics given by Trample, Flying, Prot from Color, are still used in-game.
Jimmy blew my mind a little when he said the greaves and boots existed when he first started playing. When I first started playing, equipment didn't exist.
After Rachel's "favourite decks" list having all 20+ creatures, I am far from surprised that skullclamp is her first pick here haha. Lightning Greaves always seemed like a odd choice to me, IF it isn't your only equipment. Especially in this draft format, lightning greaves seems exceptionally less powerful than normal, because you have these other equipments you can't utilise to their fullest potential. Very interesting that it's still seen as above Swiftfoot in this. :o
![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
What is your first-pick equipment? Who came out on top after this draft? Did we miss any equipment that you would have snapped up?
My first equipment i would choose would be the sword of vengeance. I personally like Jimmy's list more but I think Rachel won that draft. And I think you guys missed out on the sword of vengeance.
my first pick is sunforger
Kaldra Complete, and Bitterthorn I think we're missed opportunities
Colossus Hammer
100% embercleave for me I play a lot of red and tend to lean towards aggressive style decks so embercleave is a awesome card for me and one of my favorite equipments in the game
*Craig walks in from offscreen, pulls a Grafted Exoskeleton out of nowhere, and leaves.*
And he would be based for that tbh
You win the Internet today as far as I'm concerned
craig literally every time I show him a new decklist: "Oh you should definitely be running Grafted Exoskeleton in this"
@@JordanPridgen😂 I honestly don't doubt it
Hahaha
I love this 3-person draft-style podcast format! Super informative and explains why things are still good even if they're not the #1 or #2 pick
Glad you liked it! Perhaps we'll get to do more!
@@commandcastwhen you do more you should use all the drafted cards and put them in the same deck and use them for an episode
Yes please do more! I can’t wait for the “draw cards” and “tutor” drafts asap!
@@commandcastthat was in response to you
You guys should do this across like 8 categories, and then build decks with those cards and do an Extra Turns with them
YES
How would that work with a commander though?
@jeffreylong1478 That's a great question. They are pretty good at figuring that stuff out. But if they do a couple, and then find they are fitting something, they could do a "Commanders to Helm our Drafted Lists", with each picking commanders to helm their list, fitting the colors of the cards they've drafted up to that point. Or just do a couple and then build a deck that includes the cards they drafted, but isn't limited to them.
@@jeffreylong1478 there are many versatile commanders it could work.
They should do commander elimination and have to build around the commander that's left on the list.
Best thing about Shadowspear‘s ability that you did not mention is that it doesn’t need to be equipped to activate its ability. That surprises a lot of people.
More drafting episodes please. As a magic and fantasy football fan, this is perfect.
They do one for every card type and then build decks xD
Do a bonus draft with any cards you still want to add to your deck
Sword of This and That should be in the next "Un" set
Gavin Verhey had a playtest card that was “Sort of __ and __” which randomly picked 2 of the the combat damage triggers when the equipment entered (no protection or +2 because it’s only “Sort of”)
Sword of Swords and Ofs *(30)*
_Equipped creature gets +20/+20 and has protection from everything and everything_
_Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, everything happens and everything happens_
*Equip (20)*
Sword of this and that (3)
Whenever equipped creature attacks, it gets protection from target color or player until end of turn. It also gains up to one evergreen ability of your choice until end of turn.
Equip (2)
There should be no more un-set. Just put it on any normal reprint set.
@@CUATROMORCEI was thinking "On combat damage, make a junk token, a food token, a treasure token, a clue token, a blood token, etc)
It's so good to see Jimmy and Josh as hosts together again, I really like Rachel and the whole crew of the Command Zone but the ogs are back
I agree. Jimmy and Josh ARE the Command Zone. I get they are probably much busier these days but I do wish they would host together more.
1000% agree. Rachel is awesome, but to me Josh and Jimmy will always be the Command Zone. Don't see them together nearly enough these days
Jimmy and Josh together is the heart of the channel, I agree glad to see them together
Same everyone is awesome but the OG duo of Josh and Jimmy can't be beat! ❤
Tomer from MTGGoldfish: Shield of Kaldra, Helm of Kaldra, Sword of Kaldra, Kaldra Compleat, and Journeyer's Kite.
I agree with you Rachel skullclamp is insanely good and is underplayed somehow
Skullclamp is so good even if you don’t have x/1s.
100%. The card is a straight mistake and yet doesn't feel unfair. I place it above the other cards here
I specifically omit it because it's often too good
Skullclamp feels like the most obvious P1 to me.
Skullclamp is one of those cards where it's not always the best fit, but when it is, it's almost always the best card in the deck.
I know 1v1 magic isn't always analogous but skullclamp is banned in legacy which is huge for equipment
Skullclamp is essentially a broken card, to me its by far the best equipment in the format.
There is an argument to be made is that you can clamp one of your remove on sight threats just to go up a card when it gets removed. It's by far the second worst usage of skullclamp but the second worst usage is still arguably good. That's the floor.
One mana draw two all day every day
Awesome concept for a show guys. Love this! 😊
I like to imagine that the 4 commanders on the playmate are having a rule 0 conversation before they go to battle with each other
@57:45 You cannot give +4/+4 to another creature cause its "Equiped Creature gets +2/+2" but you can -1/-1 or gain 2 life even if it's not equiped :)
This was a nice approach to make this episode so much more interesting and entertaining. Ill take Rachel's pick personally
Another note about skullclamp is that it doesn’t have to be in a token based deck. I’ve gotten disgusting amounts of value out of in a sac heavy and graveyard focused deck. Tokens results in the most immediate upside, yes but putting it in a deck like Phoenix tribal is filthy because things are constantly going in and out of the grave
In a tight game, just put it on a creature you want to protect. They'll think about giving you TWO cards when they remove it.
20:00 Important note, you don't need to have it equipped to activate shadowspear's ability to remove hexproof and indestructible.
Yall should make this a series and build decks out of them at the end
Loved this format! What a great way to elicit commentary. Please do more!
I would love to see you guys draft 4 decks like this and only have one of each copy of each card at the whole pod for an episode haha
Yes
Yep..I love this idea
normally i hate busted cards but theres just something about skull clamp i love.
This was a great way of doing a list but in a unique way. You could do this with any type ie removal, counter, free spells, ramp, ect. I hope there are more videos to this and you can expand the number of people drafting.
PLEASE MORE OF THESE TYPES OF EPISODES! I love the idea I love the format and they're so informative! ❤❤ also always good to see Jimmy and Josh together again! I love Rachel as a host but it's nice to have them both on.

55:30 I run Umezawa's Jitte in my Reyav doublestriking dragons deck. Incredible there.
Very cool episode. I love Jimmy and Josh, but I am constantly impressed by how much life and personality Rachel adds to this channel. She's just excellent.
Great idea! A very nice spin on the "top 10" format. Can't wait to see the next ones.
This is a great video on the topic of equipment in commander and what you need to look for when deciding on cards for a deck. This reminded me about one of the Biggest benefits of artifacts, colourless. If your colour/colours has a downside you need covering, there is mostlikely an artifact that can do it for you.
Now I would looooove to see an extra-turns episode with decks you built just out of and around your drafted artifacts.
A proper Voltron battle theme. I'd watch that.
Absolutely love The Reality Chip! Excellent choice. Dowsing dagger with Thespian stage and/or Vesuva 🔥
Love this type of format.
I have an equipment-heavy Voltron deck where I specifically removed Lightning Greaves in favour of Swiftfoot Boots, because shroud stops you putting more equipment on it (and the deck usually doesn't have a second creature to temporarily move the greaves away to).
A lot of people don't realize that. The shroud ability is only good if you don't run many things that target your own creatures
This was definitely a fun episode and I like the format a lot. I really thought it was just going to be a list of the staple equipment but seeing you build towards your styles was super cool
So many great things in this episode. It's awesome to see all three of you on-screen together, and this is the coolest series concept since the "How To Play ".

1:04:00 I like this type of show. Forces you to make choices you probably don't have when building decks normally.
These are some of my favorite style episodes. I'm just getting back in to MTG so it helps introduce me to the cards I've missed over the last two decades. I especially love how everyone backs each other up and agrees with each other instead of arguing and back and forth like many channels.
Sword of the Animist is probs my first pick personally just because I play a lot of boros and that ramp helps me a lot
Loved this! I just like to see what you guys personally find more important / find more fun in cards. More content like this would be awesome!
This was such a fun episode! I feel like this was a pleasant taste of Rachel’s episodes on Commander Sphere but with the command zone style! Can’t wait to see more of this. Maybe a creature draft per colour?
I loved hearing everyone's explanations about their picks and how they rated each of their equipments. It shares some information about their styles and their thought processes.
great format to rank cards that promotes discussion and comparison! great idea Rachel!
Fun fact, when I lost my collection in a flood, one of the only cards that survived was a foil sword of feast and famine
This was such a creative idea and a refreshing way to talk about cards and the theory behind them! Way to go!
Loved the video! It was really fun. It was also actually really cool to just see you guys sort of sit down and just talk about the game a little more, even show another format besides commander, specifically draft in this case (if in a little bit of a round about way).

Probably the best video you guys have ever put out! More of these please!

Personally I just like the idea of drafting cards, because everyone has different takes or different “needs”
Im not 100% sure but I think Jimmy draft the best group of cards
For me it's Josh. He has the best overall pile imo
I actually was thinking the opposite but I am only halfway through the episode so far lol
Really enjoyed this episode. The round structure made for a tighter format. Well done
Awesome video! Im a bit surprised that Sword of Forge and Frontier got no mentions, its pretty good.
More of this format please! Informative and I can put it to direct use!
This is such a cool format! Keep it up you guys!🔥
PLEASE do more episodes like this for other cards types! Loved this!
This is an incredibly good format for an episode. Way more interesting than just doing top 10s etc.
I liked the discussion between animist and hearth and home. Never really thought of it like that but you are correct. They do similar things. Might have to make some swaps in certain decks.
I really like the conversation that this episode creates. ❤ this is exactly the content I’m looking for
Love the format, especially since everyone had different play styles. Prompted a lot of great discussions and comparisons. Hope to see more
I love this episode format. So much potential for future episodes. Also, it's hype to have 3 hosts in one episode!
Super fun and original episode, would really like to see these applied to other types of cards or colors. Keep up the great work guys
Excellent episode. I'd love to see more drafts. Wheel of time talk is great too.
I really love this format of ranking that you guys did in this episode. You aren't just doing your usual top ranked equipment video. This "draft" style video is an interesting take
Absolutely love this episode idea! Would love to see more of these in the future!
This was a super fun format! Would definitely love to see this again, and especially with the planeswalker idea!
Loved this episode. Was fun to see how y'alls picks lined up with what I would take.
Point of order about Umezawa's Jitte. While the -1/-1 and Gain 2 Life can be used without the Jitte being equipped, the +2/+2 applies to the equipped creature
Absolutely LOVE this draft kind of episode!
I think the best 1 for 1 video you could make in this format would be utility lands, I'd love to see it!
This is a great episode and I love the draft idea to talk about it. Would have been easy to just talk about the top X equipments but the draft made it fun to watch and created lovely suspense. Great episode!!
These episodes with the three of you are the absolute best
I imagined the four dudes on the playmat being the commanders of one pod having the rule 0 conversation: "I used to be an 8, but haven't updated my army in a while. I'm probably a 6 by today's standards." - "Look at those abs, Frank. You're at least a 7!"
Love this concept!
Loved this episode! Need 1 of these with enchantments for sure, darksteel plate is my favorite equipment
Shoutout to Robe of Stars which is a big favourite of mine for the "I need to protect something" style of equipments.
Prior to watching the video, the ones that come to mind are Sword of Feast and Famine and Skullclamp which were shown as well as Helm of the Host, Lightning Greaves and Shadowspear as personal favorites.
I love this draft idea. You can do so many things with it! New video format lets goooooo.
This is great, hope to see more drafts for other commander subjects like color staples!
I absolutely adore the Lion Sash pick. A great friend to have around when somebody decides to Wake the Dead.
Do planeswalkers. I would be very curious to see what you all pick. Really fun episode.
Really dope topic. Would love similar episodes in the future!
I haven't played MtG since 2002, and I'm looking through content now to see where the game is at, to see if I want to get into it. This format seems fun, and I really liked this video. I'm kind of unsure about how I feel about cross-overs with other IPs like Walking Dead, LOTR, but glad to see I can still follow 80% of MtG discussions on why some cards are good.

I love the format of this episode. It was a great idea, and he gives a chance for certain cards to shine for a moment and come out of the dust.😂🎉
This was a great format of video, I’d love to see more of these!
Funny how two of the top three equipment cards for commander were printed in Mirrodin and Darksteel, the first two sets with equipment.
It seems fairly common when you introduce a mechanic to accidentally print a busted card or two because the mechanic is new and not balanced yet
Jimmy blew my mind a little when he said the greaves and boots existed when he first started playing. When I first started playing, equipment didn't exist.
After Rachel's "favourite decks" list having all 20+ creatures, I am far from surprised that skullclamp is her first pick here haha. Lightning Greaves always seemed like a odd choice to me, IF it isn't your only equipment. Especially in this draft format, lightning greaves seems exceptionally less powerful than normal, because you have these other equipments you can't utilise to their fullest potential. Very interesting that it's still seen as above Swiftfoot in this. :o
LOVE this. Def would be sick to have more drafts like this and then after you have done a bunch make decks only using what you drafted haha.
Definitely liked this content! Please do more like this!
This is such a cool alternative to a typical tier list! Well done all!
Much more interesting to listen to than a tier list for sure
would like to see you guys keep doing this style of video! A Planeswalker draft would be pretty cool!!!
